May 16 Moon Goddess’ Current Phase

Today the Moon will be in a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this phase the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Although money and cash flow are a strong focus now, today you want to play it low-key from behind the scenes. Seek out some solitude in beautiful surroundings so that you can catch your breath and make some plans.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Because the Sun is in your sign for four more days, you are empowered! Use this to your advantage! Go after what you want. Today you might be involved with a female friend or acquaintance, or a member of a group. Good day to think about future goals.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

For the next four days, you will continue to play things low-key until the Sun enters your sign. Nevertheless, today because the Moon is at the top of your chart, you’re high viz. In fact, personal details about your private life are public for some reason.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This continues to be a popular time for you, which means you will enjoy talking to people in person or online, especially groups and organizations. It’s an excellent time to think about goals. Today in particular, you are restless to do something different. (You’re hungry for a change of scenery.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Bosses, parents and VIPs are impressed with you at this time, which means this is your chance to make your pitch or do what you can to advance your agenda because doors will open for you. Your involvement with younger, artistic people is positive. Check out financial details today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Remember to be patient with partners and close friends while Mars is opposite your sign because Mars makes you easily annoyed! Unfortunately, Mars will stay there until the end of June, which means you need to exercise patience. Fortunately, relations with bosses and parents are excellent.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are on top of things because you’re focused on debt, taxes, shared property and all that stuff you sometimes ignore. Because you would love to travel and have a change of scenery, explore what you can online. Learn something new. Set aside 15 minutes today to get better organized in some messy area of your life.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your need for more sleep will continue for the next few days and then you will feel rested. (It’s been a struggle this month – no question.) Today you feel playful and lighthearted. Enjoy the company of children or romantic partners. Do something that makes you happy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are still in an industrious mode, keen to organize the world around you. You enjoy working hard! Likewise, you’re also enthusiastic to improve your health. Relations with partners and close friends are excellent. Today you will enjoy some down time cocooning at home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Reach out to others today because you’re in a fun-loving mood. You need the contact and stimulation of others in person or online. Relations with coworkers are positive but today you want to play! A short trip or a drive will really appeal.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Continue to enjoy your focus on home and family for the next few days. Today in particular, you have an interest in financial matters, perhaps shopping? Keep your receipts because it’s easy to go overboard shopping online when you’re restless. (Aggh!)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Get some physical exercise because with Mars in your sign, you need to release some pent-up energy that might build up within you. Look for opportunities to communicate to others because you want to enlighten someone about something. You have something to say!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Yannick Bisson (1969) shares your birthday today. You have a strong personality and seek harmony of balance in your emotions. Because this is a year of teaching and learning, you will learn something that sets you in a new direction, which could be crucial for your success next year. Why not explore meditation, yoga or any discipline that will help you to get a better understanding of who you are?

Crafting Your Own Sacred Schedule – Part 6

Local Festivities

Where we live has a huge impact on how we turn the Wheel. The landscape, the seasons, and local culture all affect how we experience the world around us. The community in which you live probably all ready has festivals that honor certain changes, such as a harvest festival, an annual block party, a yearly parade to commemorate an event in the town’s history, or a natural phenomenon that happens like clockwork (monsoons, fog season, second summer, etc.) These modern-day observances can have just as much power as the commonly accepted sabbats — and even more personal meaning for you because the event directly reflects the spirit of where you live. Remember everything has an origin!

Pictures from the National Hellenic Museum Athens, taken 2019.

Above is a wonderful display of ancient Greek ritual objects used by the priests and priestesses of the ancient Hellenic, Minoan and Egyptian world.

Nothing more connects me to my magickal ancestors than when I visit the museums of Europe, this one is in Athens. 2000BC Couldrens, drinking cups, ritual containers no wonder I am drawn to the craft.

Magick was part of their everyday life. Temples were overflowing with devotees and ritual of daily devotion.  Magick has become part of my daily life too, the only difference is my temple has become the Great Earth Mother or Gaia as the Ancient Greeks knew Her.

When I visit these great temples, to me they are a place of devotion, to most a place of amusements and to others a place of mysteries long…
