The Lovers indicates both the most powerful of unions and the most of challenging conflicts humans must face. On one side The Lover’s embodies love and union on a cosmic scale—a love so strong, so inherently good that it actually makes the lovers better, more than they really are. All of the elements are there for the perfect union. The Lovers represent all powerful unions in general, and the elements that create/sustain them. The problem The Lovers face is temptation and the decision to act morally or abandon their ethics to take advantage of other opportunities that would be defined as transgressions.
The Situation Overall All relationships are held together by earnest commitments. It may be time for you to make one to your partner. Discuss it carefully to decide what form your commitment will take.
Love
It may be time for more commitment in your relationship. You may want to formalize this relationship through marriage. If so, don’t be afraid; all will be well.
Friendship
Do not become dictatorial with your friends. If you do, they will abandon you.
On the Horizon
If you are in a new relationship, make sure your partner does not have commitments elsewhere. Look for further obstacles from friends and family.
Drawbacks
Just because you strengthen your commitment, do not allow yourself to become emotionally needy. Don’t overwhelm your partner with responsibilities
The Ice Rune, represents stagnation and a passionless existence. Your life’s course may seem blurry at the moment, but if you persevere you will move onto better days
Additional information about Today’s Rune, Isa. . .
In modern symbology, fire is generally masculine and ice (or earth) is feminine, but it is unknown whether the Norse shared this association. Certainly, ice was a constant factor in their day to day lives. It threatened their crops and their ships almost throughout the year, but it also served as a symbol of creation, from which all life will eventually spring. It says something about the Norse mind that they could recognize the need to have such a seemingly destructive joining of elements in order to create and maintain life. Fire may be warm and pleasant, but it must be balanced by the freezing of winter just as birth must be balanced by death. Even the little death of sleep has been proven to be vital for our mental and physical well-being.
Isa encompasses all of these ideas, but primarily represents a period of rest before activity, and itself forms the material from which life can be created. It is matter, inert by itself, but transformed into the stuff of stars when wedded with energy. It is the immovable form acted upon the irresistible force. In many ways, the Norse predicted Einstein with their version of the creation of the universe, recognizing that everything in their world contained both fire and ice (energy and matter), and that the relationship between the two defined the processes of life itself.
Every zodiac sign is ruled by a Tarot card from the Major Arcana! The zodiac sign of Aquarius is ruled by The Star card. Here we take a look at the symbolic connections between quirky Aquarius and The Star…
Aquarius, the Water Bearer
Represented by the water bearer, Aquarius is the quirky sign of the zodiac. Their offbeat opinions and lifestyle often garner a reputation for being eccentric but they like to think of themselves as true individuals. Ruled by rebel planet Uranus, which is the ONLY planet that spins on its side, these colorful personalities march to the beat of their own drums — known for being worldly and unconventional.
Aquarius is often misunderstood for being aloof or detached, but it’s more likely that they are distracted by their own thinking. This sign is considered the humanitarian of the zodiac — representing community and mankind. But if you’re looking for a sympathetic shoulder to cry on … you might as well look elsewhere, because Aquarius is usually more concerned with the good of all than the good of one. This visionary is VERY focused on the future.
Aquarius and The Star
Similar to water-bearing Aquarius, The Star card features a woman that is pouring water into a body of water and into the earth, providing nourishment and restoring hope for the future. She has one foot in the water, symbolizing intuition, and one on land, symbolizing stability. This echoes the same duality in Aquarius, which is the only zodiac sign represented by two astrological elements — water for her emotional side and air for her intellectual side.
The stars symbolize the card’s over-arching message of guidance, hope and inspiration! Aquarius is NOT one to blend in with the crowd, and this is illustrated by the large, yellow star that is set apart from the others. While external guidance is appreciated, Aquarius has a strong connection to their OWN intuition and will listen to that internal voice above all others.
The bird symbolizes the Sacred Ibis of thought who roosts in the tree of the mind. This represents the boundless intellect of Aquarius. Whether it’s improving humanity, inventing the next big thing or just bolstering our sense of hope and inspiration, Aquarius and The Star make the perfect match.
What has traditionally been known as the Star card is about reconnecting one’s Soul with the Divine — the transcending of personality, family, community and reputation. It has to do ultimately with the freedom to be one’s Self. The Soul is responding to celestial influences — forces that can provide the personality with a stronger sense of purpose. The Star card helps us to remember our exalted origins and our attraction to a Higher Union.
This card could also be called the “Celestial Mandate” — that which refers us back to our reason for being, our mission in this lifetime. The Star reminds us that, in a sense, we are agents of Divine Will in our day-to-day lives. If we let go of the idea that we are supposed to be in control, we can more easily notice and appreciate the synchronicities that are nudging us along. In this way, we become more conscious of the invisible Helping Hand, and we better understand our place within — and value to — the larger Cosmos.
You can experience quite a few cravings today, dear Aries, but before going gung-ho about something, try to consider whether it will truly benefit you. The Moon leaves your sign, and while this usually tends to ground you, it can also encourage your more indulgent side. You are feeling generous and amorous, but also find it hard to take others’ instruction or advice. The desire to take on an entirely new challenge can start off with good intentions but might turn into a burden later on. Work on emotional self-control today, but keep yourself busy, or you could become terribly moody without purposeful work to do. Tame your restlessness, and you can have a very enjoyable, creative day, however. New ideas may very well be golden, but they need time to mature before putting into action.
Taurus
Taurus
The Moon moves into your sign early today, dear Taurus, and this can stimulate your more spontaneous and impulsive tendencies. With your ruler challenged by Jupiter and Mars, restlessness can be real. You want to make something more of what you have, and this can be a good thing, but some self-control and foresight will be helpful. The tendency today is to misjudge or overshoot, although sometimes we need to reach outside of our usual bounds in order to grow. Attaining a higher level of freedom and well-being is a worthy cause, indeed. Enjoy yourself, but try not to go overboard, and consider boundaries – your own and those of others. Coming on too strong with a love interest will not get you anywhere right now.
Gemini
Gemini
There are times when we may overshoot, dear Gemini, but while there can be mistakes involved, there is something to gain if we can take the lesson from our experiences and move on. Desires may not be about true wants right now. As well, improving your life doesn’t have to involve pushing too far. Your ability to consider whether what you desire will benefit you down the road is a little compromised just for the time being, so be mindful and aim for self-knowledge before going all out. Some of you could experience conflicts between the demands of family and partnership, as you are aiming to please both. Take some extra time for yourself and aim for balance. Attempting to do too much can drain you now. If you slow down, this can be a wonderful time for great ideas.
Cancer
Cancer
When it comes to activities today, your eyes may be bigger than your stomach, dear Cancer. The overall tendency is for great enthusiasm but also some excess or overshooting. Even if you feel you have the energy to schedule a lot now, consider that energy levels may cool off later, so be as moderate as you can. Overstating your feelings can lead to problems later. Watch for jumping to conclusions and/or a tendency to take unnecessary risks. While it’s a good day for dreaming up a new communications project, give it some time before putting anything into motion. Relationships can be exciting but perhaps moody, as desires are big.
Leo
Leo
A feeling that you are not achieving enough or that you want more from life can lead to important innovations, dear Leo, but if you push too hard before truly knowing where you are going, you may end up feeling stressed and restless. Watch for overspending and borrowing from the future on nonmaterial levels as well. As well, a difference of opinion can turn into something much more than it should be. Be as reasonable as possible with your expectations in a relationship, because when they’re overblown you end up putting too much pressure on yourself and others, losing some of the spontaneity that you value so much in your interactions. This can be a lively, creative day, however, particularly if you can pinpoint the desires that are coming from the heart.
Virgo
Virgo
With Jupiter in your sign, dear Virgo, you have your eye on growth and self-improvement. It’s natural for you to consider bigger ideas and goals. However, when Jupiter is challenged as it is today, there can be a tendency to look for quick fixes to any inner restlessness you may be feeling. This can translate to overindulgence, overstating, and misjudging resources. Try not to take things to regrettable lengths. Be good to yourself as well as your “future self” by avoiding mistakes that you’ll later have to clean up. Believing in yourself is wonderful as long as you consider reasonable limits. When it comes to projects and personal interests, as well as communications, you’ll be very pleased with yourself tomorrow if you let ideas unfold naturally.
Libra
Libra
You may be experiencing a real need to reach out and connect, and perhaps to share something of yourself today, dear Libra, but some hesitation as well, as keeping things under wraps makes some sense to you at the moment. You may end up blurting things out and regretting it later, or overscheduling with others when you actually need some time to yourself as well, so aim to get in touch with yourself and your true needs. Taking special care with your communications and paperwork is appropriate now, but entertaining big ideas can be fun and worthwhile at the same time. Expecting too much of your efforts can lead to dissatisfaction or a desire to give it all up. Don’t overdo it, and you have the chance to truly enjoy yourself.
Scorpio
Scorpio
Desires can come on strongly today, dear Scorpio, and it makes sense to sort out which ones are pure and those that are more likely to lead you off the path. Keep in mind that bigger isn’t always better, and entertain the idea that some of your simpler desires may in fact satisfy you more in the long run. Enthusiasm runs very high, but watch that you don’t burn out by taking on too much. The tendency may be to want to please both yourself and others, and fitting everything in can be difficult. Be kind to yourself by keeping expectations reasonable, both of yourself and the people you care about. Watch for overspending, but listen to a need to pamper and be pampered. There can be super ideas emerging today, and wonderful lessons to learn about yourself and your needs.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
With your ruler, Jupiter, at the top of your chart this year, dear Sagittarius, you’re certainly inclined to reach for more, and this is a good thing. However, there are times when Jupiter is challenged and you may be overdoing things, restless, dissatisfied, and misjudging your energy levels. Right now, both Venus and Mars are challenging Jupiter, and while this can certainly stir up all sorts of creative energy, it may be a little difficult to know where to direct it. Remembering that happiness comes from your own making is important now, because putting high expectations on others is not only hard on them, it’s ultimately hard on you. There may be promises made that are forgotten or burdensome later. Timing may be off. However, the day can be rewarding and revealing if you aim to entertain big ideas and unusual pleasures, but keep things real.
Capricorn
Capricorn
We are working with quite a bit of stirred up creative energy today, dear Capricorn, but tapping into it requires some thought and self-understanding. Desires that come on suddenly and powerfully may mask true wants, and it’s best not to fool yourself into thinking that satisfying a sudden whim will truly improve your life. Sometimes, challenging Jupiter aspects such as the one today can pump up our moods, but these can be a little overblown and we can misjudge or take on far more than we need or than we can handle down the road. There can be zealousness with ideas and beliefs, and disagreements can quickly become over the top without some mindfulness. If a difference of opinion becomes too personal, and you’re no longer feeling in good spirits as a result, take a deep breath and walk away. Find ways to enjoy different experiences and pleasures, and remind yourself that happiness is not some elusive thing outside of yourself that you’re supposed to chase – it starts within. The Moon in your romance and creativity sector suggests a need for fun outlets for self-expression.
Aquarius
Aquarius
Energy can be bursting at times today, dear Aquarius. While you should certainly enjoy the waves of enthusiasm you’re experiencing now, watch that you don’t take on too much, forgetting that energy levels can eventually even out and you may be left with too much on your plate. This is not about restricting happiness – it’s about attaching yourself to feelings and desires that are truly yours, from the heart, instead of quick fixes that don’t truly satisfy in the long term. Avoid rushing things until you know what you truly want, which can be something simpler than you expect. Exercise self-control with the things that truly matter. Relationships can be a little confusing just for the moment, as part of you is craving intimacy and another part wants to take things as they come. The Moon’s move into Taurus early today brings it into your home and family sector, suggesting a need for some self-nurturing.
Pisces
Pisces
The day can generate quite a bit of enthusiastic and creative energy, dear Pisces, but it may be a little challenging to enjoy and use it positively. Going a little overboard might be fun now, but for the truly important things, it’s better to respect everyone’s boundaries, including drawing your own. Keep in mind that something that begins too quickly is in danger of burning out in similarly quick fashion. Give ideas time to breathe and mature instead of rushing things now. You can be feeling especially generous and anxious to please everyone. Try not to pack everything into one day, and remember that moderating your attention to different people and areas of life will bring the most satisfaction. Others may be promising more than they can deliver today, although it’s most likely to be about overestimating their abilities than deliberate deceit. Strong energy is, in fact, building for your personal appeal and relationships.
You are playful yet ambitious. While security is extremely important to you, so is personal freedom and you have a very determined, self-centered streak. You are smart, a little defiant at times, and very convincing and persuasive. There is certainly a bit of an entertainer in you, even those of you who are on the shy side. While you are a real thinker and dreamer, you are also a doer. You are spiritual and always aware that life is about something much more than the mundane.
Famous people born today: Ethel Merman, Dizzy Dean, Sade, Kate Moss, Aaliyah, Debbie Allen.
There can be an inner conflict experienced today, dear Aries, with the Sun and Moon in challenging aspect involving your sign and your reputation and career sector. Your desire to tend to your own personal needs and emotions is strong, but the need to put on your professional hat and/or to tend to your responsibilities is ever-present. Other influences active now can compound this problem with conflicting needs. You might be lacking the patience to really get something solid going. Stay active, but hold off on making important plans until you are clearer about what you truly want. Try to compartmentalize and avoid bringing your personal life to inappropriate places. Even though energy is stop and go today, it’s in fact a fine time for looking ahead and mapping out long-term goals.
Taurus
Taurus
Timing may be a little off in your relationships, dear Taurus, and part of the problem may be that you and others are not one hundred percent certain what you truly want – and perhaps not even half sure! This can play out as one person wanting to be active and the other in a passive mood, or one is worked up about a particular idea and the other wants to let it go. For some of you, the conflict is more internal – you want something badly and then change your mind, for example. A Sun-Moon conflict can also present a challenge between a desire for new experiences, but also some reticence to go far with this. These scenarios are not too serious, but can be annoying. Look for ways to entertain yourself so that you don’t feel dependent on others’ cooperation.
Gemini
Gemini
Inner conflicts and some disagreeableness around you can be issues today, dear Gemini. Others may not be sharing your passions and interests now, and might even seem quite passive and indifferent in comparison to you. This is a good day for drawing upon energy and motivation to get things done, but social matters or a partner can be a distraction. There can be a disconnect between your own needs for detachment and for intimacy, and people around you may be wrapped up in their own issues. Try not to worry too much about others’ ambivalence, but do try to tone down impatience or impulsiveness, especially in your work, but also with friends and partners just for good measure.
Cancer
Cancer
You could feel pulled in different directions today, dear Cancer, but the emotions and the actions don’t always seem to match, which can be frustrating. General ambivalence is likely, and it can be difficult to find agreement or gain others’ cooperation as a result. You can also be feeling a strong need to please on the job or in your duties, but an equal desire to go your own way. Energy is up and down. Avoid pushing too hard to balance things out or to try to change a person’s mood or feelings. Be as impartial and light as possible when trying to understand others’ moods and different needs and opinions and let the small things go – you’ll be kinder to yourself in the process. Seek out ways to make yourself happy or to better understand your needs.
Leo
Leo
Romantic feelings and matters can be very strong today, dear Leo, but perhaps also agitated, as fulfilment of desires seems a little out of reach or timing is off. You could feel some conflict between playing it safe and taking a little risk, which may leave you on the fence. Your head may be in work mode but your heart is somewhere else. Emphasis should be on diplomacy today, as it’s too easy to offend others, although you might not feel smooth enough to pull that off perfectly! This is because your emotions and passions run high right now. Impatience gets you nowhere, but tapping into excess energy for creative purposes can be fruitful now.
Virgo
Virgo
You may want to express what’s in your heart today, dear Virgo, but you might also be quite emotionally charged about it, and misunderstandings could result. Defensiveness and/or impulsiveness can interfere with things now, and you may be feeling a little resentful if others are not intuiting that your needs or reaching out to you. Consider that you might be giving off mixed messages without realizing it. You can be hungry for intimacy but giving off the impression that you’re lighthearted. Enjoy the passion of the moment, explore your feelings, but watch for too-quick reactions and focus on understanding your own conflicting needs.
Libra
Libra
You could be experiencing a stronger desire to be with a special friend or partner today, dear Libra, but part of you would prefer to stay quiet and pensive or to keep to yourself. This might lead to sending off mixed messages. It can be too easy to get worked up over delay, as people around you may not seem to be moving at the same pace you are. News may be a little premature. Conversations can be especially enthusiastic and passionate right now, and while exciting, you may be reticent and self-protective, and this leaves you on the fence about what you want to pursue. You don’t need to have a master plan or to know exactly where you are headed to be active, busy, and happy today. Try to channel excess energy into journaling or a learning endeavor and sort out your true needs.
Scorpio
Scorpio
You could feel strongly motivated to express yourself today, dear Scorpio, perhaps about matters that you previously felt you’d rather keep to yourself. Impulsiveness should be watched for, however, as there is a bit of a discontented quality to the day’s energies, and you might end up buying something beyond your means, or saying something you end up wishing you hadn’t. Feelings can run hot and cold, and there can be a problem with overscheduling activities. Attention to all you want/need to do with personal interests and duties can be difficult with only so many hours in a day! Aim to tone things down and channel excess energy into something productive or physical.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
While you’re generally in good shape these days when it comes to personal manner and appeal, dear Sagittarius, today you could have a hard time going after what you wan. You could be feeling a little stuck deciding whether to wait for something to come to you or to go your own way. There can be an impatient or impulsive streak with us today. It may not be the best of days to reach an agreement or a compromise, and timing in relationships can be a bit off. However, you can also use the tension that you may be feeling now to light a fire under you. Channel energy into something productive or releasing/cathartic rather than waste time waiting and wondering.
Capricorn
Capricorn
There is an inclination to reawaken a topic that may very well belong in the past, dear Capricorn, and social interactions can be a little off in timing. It can also be difficult coming to agreements, even on the smallest things. Part of you wants to go your own way and assert your independence, and another equally insistent part of you would prefer to stick with familiar situations and people. It’s probably best that you think twice before jumping to conclusions, and before you bring up a topic that you are not quite ready to discuss. Before venturing off, you may very well need some time to regain your center, so do your best to honor your need for quiet time in order to better understand your needs.
Aquarius
Aquarius
You may be wrestling with a desire to communicate and connect today, dear Aquarius, and an equal need to keep things to yourself. With this inner conflict, you may be giving off some mixed signals to others. Consider ways to combine both, such as getting things off your chest with someone you trust or who is impartial, or simply writing things out and waiting to decide whether you need to share it. Even so, generally speaking, we can be a little off in our timing today, and in your case, this can play out with friends, schedules, and work. Intentions may be quite good, but impatience or impulsiveness makes it a less than ideal time to really make progress. Vow to move forward in spirit, but don’t push a situation that needs more time to unfold gently and on its own.
Pisces
Pisces
While life can be quite animated in many ways today, dear Pisces, we may be experiencing some off-timing and disconnects. Inner conflicts and dilemmas may be at the root of misunderstandings. Stay active, think about what you want to accomplish down the road, and avoid pushing something too fast right now, as it may be premature. Control impulses and aim to get in touch with what you truly need and want. This can be a good time to slow down and smell the roses, appreciating all of the good in your life, and reminding yourself that you have time to sort out any problems or needs that currently feel unmet. It’s also strong for focusing on the long term and what you’re heading towards.
In Astrology, the Full Moon signals a time each month when we are able to take a clear look at what is happening in our lives so we can decide if we need to make changes. But culturally and historically speaking, the Full Moon has additional meaning that changes from month to month throughout the year.
Which Moon sign were you born under? The Full Moon stirs our emotions, so it’s fitting that the Full Moon for each month has a different name and personality. Many of the Full Moon names date back to ancient tribes who followed the Full Moon to help keep track of the seasons.

As the celestial leylines within and without, above and below, re-adjust themselves for incoming landings of illumination, all will feel strewn about and discombobulated by an unexpected mischievous dust devil of interference. Bumps and grinds during these sky-lined events may shake up the human linear patterns of thinking just long enough for some enlightment to get thru. Like one that is drenched by an unexpected spring shower, there is no way to avoid complete saturation, with or without cosmic umbrella. A deep healing is occurring with or without your permission.
The cells of Earth have their encoded orders and know what to do; they march forward at a steady pace never missing a beat. Each pain within your body is a cry for help, a stuck fear, trauma or memory, literally a pain from the past. 2016 is about ‘promises and completion’, Cosmic and Personal completion. Humanity is asked nicely to enter the next level of love, of heart, of soul and service to the Universe.
99, 999
Cosmic and personal completion! Entering the next level of love, of heart, of soul and service to the planetary evolution through healing self-first. Free falling from the height of the nine into the next level of Light can be faster than the speed of time. Entry and exits all in the same breath. A quantum leap into unknown gifts comes through the nine. Are you ready to be more than you are at this minute of time? Nine is the photo finish on the heavenly column of multiple choices. If you believe you have won, you have.
2016 graces us with the timeless and sometimes endless teachings of the vibration of nine, and all that entails. A quantum leap into the string theory leaves one hanging with multiple and multidimensional choices. Does one free fall in the string theory or does one hang on riding the dimensional rift? Either way this feat can only be accomplished through a divine point of healing self.
The vibration of nine is about entry and exit all in the same breath. Free-falling from the height of the nine into the next point of the unknown equation. Everything is enhanced in 2016 vivid peyote 5-d Technicolor, with many coyotes taking shape in the background. Dimensionally you will glimpse these places of a thin veil, like looking at a desert mirage. Portal after portal opens to every place not within the imagination. Hidden agendas are so visible even those not looking notice.
Unknown gifts come in this nine-year enhancing all one yearns to be. Self-doubt will be what sabotages your future choices. Nine is the photo finish on the heavenly pageant of multiple choices. If you believe you have won, you have! Driving thru the milky way of truth and collective wisdom takes a true pilot. Flying only on the fuel of faith he must believes in the magic of it all to keep his hologram afloat. Loosen your assemblage points and keep them loose.
Become fluid in nature allowing more expansion. Rewrite your script into a place with no constraints allowing all realities to merge and show their full potential You are asked to embody and become all that you have prepared to be in the fullness of this time. Be fluid of intent and enter the best adventure of your life.
Incomplete creational thoughts drifting thru dimensional flux are waiting for someone else to sup upon them. Thoughts always seek their freedom, never answering to one master. They seek free rein and free range trying to avoid all restraint. Thoughts transcend time and space allowing them selves to be birthed again and again into new forms. Thoughts can be kept captive like a genii in a bottle but not for long, they always seem to find a way out.

Items needed: One pink candle for each person you wish to befriend; one gold candle to represent yourself; one sprig of rosemary; one sprig of lavender.
Begin by placing each pink candle, evenly spaced, in a circle. In the center of the circle lay the rosemary and lavender sprigs in a cross formation. Place the gold candle next to the center of the cross. Take a few moments to relax. Visualize yourself and your circle of friends having a wonderful time.
Light the gold candle first, and then in a clockwise direction light each of the pink candles. Chant the following once for each friendship candle:
“As the stars above in darkness shine,
With a light that fills the heavens divine.
So bright with radiance our friendships glow,
Outshining the sun and dimming all foes.”
Allow the candles to burn for one hour and then extinguish. Repeat the spell every evening until the candles have burned out. Save the rosemary and lavender. It can be used later for friendship amulets.
To the ancient Romans, the Goddess Concordia was the personification of concord (an agreement between members of the state or between members of groups within a guild) and sometimes associated with the Greek Goddess Homonoia—the incarnation of harmony.
On this day considered to be the center-post of the first month of the new year, Concordia was petitioned to help with the formation of favorable partnerships with business as well as with love and friendship.
This day of the week got it’s name from the god of karma and time, Saturn. This day is obviously associated with the planet Saturn and is our last day of the week. Traditionally Saturdays are great days for protection, banishing a negative situation, and generally a good time to clean up any magical messes that you have been ignoring. Some suggestions for Saturday enchantments would include:
◦Wearing the colors of the day, black and deep purple. Here’s your perfect excuse to be dramatic and witchy. Empower these dramatic pieces of your wardrobe for protection and strength.
◦Burning black candles to absorb negativity and burning purple ones to increase your magical wisdom and boost your spirituality
◦Adding a touch of garden witchery to your Saturday spells by working with the pansy (in black or purple of course), the morning glory flowering vine, or the cypress tree.
◦Carrying an obsidian, hematite, or jet tumbled stone in your pocket to reinforce your personal protection and to ward off bad vibes and sour feelings. You can also add these crystals to a candle spell on a Saturday night to really increase the punch of your spellcasting.
◦Cleaning your house and cleansing it while you are at it. Tap into those obstacle-removing vibes and the positive, concluding energies.
◦Closing up the final day of the bewitching week with a bang by calling on Hecate for protection and guidance.

Saturday is a day filled with opportunities to clean up and clear out. So if you are wondering why Hecate is assigned to this day, take another look at what she symbolizes and the magick that is associated with her. That should answer the question.
Hecate was the oldest form of the Greek Triple Goddess, as she presided over heaven, the underworld, and earth. Crossroads where three roads met were especially sacred to Hecate, earning her the title of Hekate of the Three Ways. It’s interesting to note that even after the worship of other goddesses waned, ancient people still worshiped Hecate as the Queen of the Underworld and the Guardian of the Three-Way Crossroad. It was also believed that if you left her an offering of food there, she would grant you her favors. As Hecate Trivia, her triple images were often displayed at these crossroads, where she was petitioned on the full moon for positive magick and on the dark of the moon for cursing and dark magick.
While this last bit of information sounds a little ominous, keep in mind that Hecate/Hekate was known by many titles and is a shapeshifter. Her appearance could and did change often. As a dark moon goddess, her faces are many. To some she may appear as a old crone, hunched over a smoking cauldron and draped in a midnight cape. To others she may appear as a dark beautiful, mysterious, and mature woman wearing a shimmering crown. To some she may be perceived as a maiden priestess. She was called the “most lovely one,” the Great Goddess of Nature, and the Queen of the World of Spirits. This dark goddess knows her way around the earth and the underworld. All the powers of nature, life, and death are at her command.

Represented by the water bearer, Aquarius is the quirky sign of the zodiac. Their offbeat opinions and lifestyle often garner a reputation for being eccentric but they like to think of themselves as true individuals. Ruled by rebel planet Uranus, which is the ONLY planet that spins on its side, these colorful personalities march to the beat of their own drums — known for being worldly and unconventional.
