I call upon the Horned God and Mother Earth,
To keep myself and my family safe as we have fun either away from or at our hearth.
To keep those who are traveling under your watchful eyes
That we might all be safe and see the fireworks or stars in the sky.
So mote it be.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July brothers, sisters, and guest.

By this candle I do sleep,
hidden from the day, in the night so deep.
O Lady Moon, guide my dreams,
cover me with your beautiful beams.
As the candle flame dies,
please close my eyes.
Now me to wake
in the warmth of the Sun.
Today, dear Sisters, Brothers and Guest, I leave you with this simple blessing for you home
Blessed be
Well this came out smaller than I thought it would. I have typed out the spell and instructions below. To print the spell out copy the typed spell below and then paste it on to a word document, that way you can make the font what ever size you want it to be for easy reading when doing this spell. This way will also save you a lot of ink because of the parchment color paper it is written on.
3 Black candles
Black thread
Black pen
Piece of Paper
Empty glass jar with tight fitting lid
This spell should not cause harm to a bully, only make them leave you alone. For greatest effect, complete the spell at midnight on a Saturday of a waning moon.
Set the candles in a triangle shape large enough so that you can sit in the middle. Light the candles. Write the bully’s name the paper and draw a large X over the name. Fold three times and say:
I bind you (name) so that you cannot hurt me anymore, both physically and emotionally. Get out of my life, leave me alone. I bind you (name). I bind you.
Tie thread around the folded paper and pop it in the jar.
Snuff out the candles and add the stubs to the jar. Screw on the lid.
Hide or bury it away from your property.
Today, dear Sisters, Brothers and Guest, I leave you with this thought
Everyone of us can make a difference for fighting against Mother Earth’s decline.
Blessed be
Dressing a candle means you are carving specific runes into it and anointing it with a specific essential oil for a specific spell and/or ritual. You can use Sandalwood if you do not have the essential oil called for. Sandalwood essential oil is a generic oil that can be used for anything. There are some witches they may diagram with me about using the Sandalwood oil for anything. This is fine, I’m going by what I was taught and have read.
To dress a candle to bring something to you, such as money, good health, a new job, etc: Crave your runes starting at the middle and going up. Then using your index finger on your power hand (the one you write with) anoint the candle making a symbol that means spirituality to you, such as a pentagram, cross, circle,etc, starting in the middle working upward make the symbol three times. As you are making each say the spell or invokation you want to empower the candle with. After you have said the spell times end as you would any other spell.
To dress a candle to banish something from your life, such as over eating, smoking, bad love affiar, etc., dress the candle as above EXCEPT from the middle down.

Avoid shopping or making important decisions until 2 PM EDT today (11 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.

All Signs
When aggressive planets make tough aspects to each other, this can predict scary accidents. However, this is not true for the great majority of the population. For most of us, it means an angry argument, broken equipment or a hasty, regrettable decision. On Thursday, Mars is opposite Saturn, and on Saturday, Mars is at odds with unpredictable Uranus. Yes, this indicates difficulties; but these difficulties will vary within a wide population. Nevertheless, it behooves one to be careful, n’est-ce pas? Of course! Expect the best and plan for the worst I always say! (That’s why whenever I cook for company, I make sure I have lots of milk and Kellogg’s cornflakes on hand.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Home and family are your main focus this week, especially your relations with a parent. It’s a busy week with errands and short trips. You want to talk to everyone and express your opinions. On Thursday, children might be an increased responsibility. Lovers’ quarrels are also likely. By Saturday, parents should be extra vigilant to avoid accidents with their kids. Everyone should do what they can to avoid sports accidents and mishaps, as well as delays and cancellations related to social occasions, parties and entertaining. This week is a bit of a rocky road for romance – no question. A feeling of rebellion, especially against restrictions, might make someone suddenly declare, “I’m outta here!”
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a fast-paced week because you have so much on the go! Short trips, increased reading, writing and studying, busy errands plus conversations with siblings, relatives and neighbours not to mention an ambitious To Do list – enough to make one gasp. Meanwhile, you might entertain at home and buy beautiful things for your home as well. However, power struggles within the family might take place midweek. By the end of the week, be particularly careful to avoid problems with appliances, family arguments and domestic accidents or broken items. Slow down and take it easy so that you can stay on top of things with grace and inner control.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Although your primary focus this week is on money, earnings, cash flow and your possessions, nevertheless, this is a dicey week when it comes to your communications with others, especially daily contacts, neighbours and siblings and relatives. Knowing this ahead of time, you can be patient. You can edit your response to others so that you don’t trigger an argument; or perhaps, someone else will trigger an argument and you need to think before you respond so that you can de-escalate things. You will definitely notice power struggles on Thursday. Please note, on Friday/Saturday, there is an accident-prone influence for your sign so pay attention to everything you say and do. Be smart.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
With the Sun in your sign, you continue to attract favourable situations and friendly attention from friends and admirers. (Cancers are such supportive and loyal friends.) Nevertheless, something that you want to be aware of this week is a stressful influence that could impact your earnings, your cash flow or something that you own. For example, power struggles on Thursday about shared property or money or possessions might occur. Towards the end of the week, a source of earnings might be interrupted. Possibly, you will lose or break something that you own. You might even have an argument with someone about the ownership of something – something that is yours! And you know it!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Primarily, this is a low-key time for you because the Sun is waiting in the wings before your birthday arrives. That’s why this is an excellent week to make some goals for your new year ahead. For many of you, it will be a very different year. Meanwhile, this week is a bit challenging for you because Mars is in your sign and it is at odds with Saturn on Thursday, which will pit you against partners and close friends. Avoid these power struggles and instead be graceful and understanding. (For your own peace of mind.) By the end of the week, do what you can to avoid accidents or unexpected clashes with the police, parents or authority figures. You don’t need this aggro.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your popularity continues! Enjoy schmoozing with friends and groups this week. Grab every chance to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone because their feedback might help you. Discussions with authority figures will go well because you are admired. However, something going on behind the scenes might stir up some trouble. Midweek, whatever you try to do might meet with opposition or disapproval. And by the end of the week, something out of the blue might upset your secret plans or your desires to do something. Perhaps it means you have to sit this one out? You can easily do this.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
With the Sun at the top of your chart, you look fabulous to others now. Bosses, parents and important people are impressed with you, even if you don’t do anything special. Because of this advantage, now is the time to act. Make your pitch! However, a very different influence might interrupt a friendship this week. Power struggles with a group or a friend, especially someone older might take place midweek. It might be about kids, social plans, sports, vacations or financial speculation. In fact, this might mushroom into some kind of difficulty so that by the end of the week, a friendship is broken. Or you might quit a group? This could be because you don’t like conflict. When things are too contentious – you want to leave. Understandably so.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are still restless for travel and adventure this week, which is why you are up for anything and eager to accept all invitations to fun outings! However, something disconcerting that you might face this week could be power struggles with a parent, a boss or someone in a position of authority – including the police. This clash could take place midweek. In fact, it might increase in intensity so that by the weekend, you are truly at odds with someone to the extent that you make a break. Possibly, this weekend challenge is the displeasure of a boss, the police or someone in authority? This won’t be too bad because lucky Jupiter has your back this year. Basically, this is a fun-loving year for you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Many details related to shared property, taxes, debt, insurance issues and inheritances continue to absorb your attention. Mercury opposite your sign will help you clarify and explain issues to others. This is good. Nevertheless, you might encounter power struggles in discussions with someone midweek. Be wise and avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues. By the end of the week, travel plans might suddenly change or you might encounter unexpected changes with school plans or something to do with medicine and the law. Likewise, these sudden changes or challenges could impact plans for publishing and the media. These areas are right up your alley.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This week you will need more sleep because the Sun is still symbolically as far away from your sign as it gets all year, and the Sun is the source of your energy. This polarized position of the Sun does however, channel your focus on partners and close friendships. Meanwhile, some kind of dispute about inheritances and shared property or insurance issues might arise midweek. These are never easy. In fact, by the weekend, something unexpected might change everything. Fortunately, Venus is in the picture and Venus wants to protect your interests. This is a good thing. Take things slow and easy but expect the best. Do your homework so that you are well-prepared to defend your best interests, especially financially speaking.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You are still working hard and feeling a sense of reward because you are getting better organized. Bit by bit, step-by-step. “Every day in every way I’m getting better and better.” This works! However, power struggles with a partner or close friend might arise midweek. Meanwhile, with Mars in your sign, you will stick up for yourself. In fact, repressed grievances might come out into the open. This could be why — by the weekend, some relationships are in trouble. What you have is a situation where someone wants to revolt because they feel angry and they feel restricted. This could be an indication of a need for change. Meanwhile, guard against impulsive, reckless decisions, which feel good in the moment but are later regrettable. (Been there, done that.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You are definitely in a playful mood and keen to party, socialize, enjoy sporting events, which is why you will grab every chance to have some fun. This will also include your enjoyment of playful activities with kids. Romance is rewarding as well. Ah yes, the good life! Having said that, power struggles related to your job might take place midweek. They could grow into a full-blown argument by the weekend that indicates a split with someone. Pet owners should know that midweek and by the weekend, they should keep an eye on their pet to avoid accidents. For some of you, these work challenges could mean equipment breakdowns or computer glitches that are frustrating. Let’s hope for the best!
It is important not to let other’s that could wish or do you harm to know your whole given name. If the person practices the dark or gray or light side of The Craft the name you were given at birth can be
used against you when a Witch/Pagan performs a spell, hex, curse or anything else that might possibly harm you. The flip of the coin a White Witch can use it for good when performing a spell or
charming an item for a specific reason without your knowledge. For these reasons it is best to only let a Witch/Pagan only know your first name if any of your given name at all unless you know and
trust them fully.
Any Witch/Pagan that truly walks in the light and most that walk in the gray will not perform any type of a spell, healing, incantation, etc. for you without your permission. This is just good manners and common curtsey.
When enchanting/charming an object for yourself you should use your whole name in the spell being used. This will ensure it is for you. Example a black stone to gather negative energy and/or an
entity before it reaches you either by attaching itself to your physical body or your aura or your mind or your spirit or just hover close by and causing mischief in your life. Many of us have negative
things hovering around us for one reason or another…Why give them easy access to you?
This is why many Witches/Pagans chose a name to use when in a coven and/or gathering with other Witches.
Copyright 2011 Lady Beltane
The Watchtowers are also known as the Guardians of the Cardinal/compass points. The
coincide with the four major compass points North, East, South and West.
Some covens use a single person positioned at each point to call all four Watchtowers.
While others use a group of three and in others the priestess and/or priest call them. It
mainly depends on the covens own traditions.
Solitary witches call the Watchtowers themselves.
When working with the Elements ALWAYS be sure to thank them and send them back from
whence they came. If you fail to release them you will usually find many unexplained things
happening to you, your family and/or in your home, yard or where ever it was you called
them to. Such as a lot of interference with electronic things, sort of background noise you
can’t pin point while on the phones or a host of other things.
You can change the wording to make if feel more your own. In a coven you would call
the Watchtowers however the Priestess and/or Priest teach you to call them for that particular coven. I
sometimes use the following words and other times something else will come out of my
mouth. I try to let my guides lead me when doing anything magickal as they usually know
more of what I need at any given time better than I do.
The Watchtowers are called in for protection just before the Sacred Circle is closed (
opened). The Elements are dismissed before the Circle is closed (opened) at the end of the
ritual. First is a formal way to call the Elements to the Watertowers; followed by a casual
way.
Most covens and solitary witches start at the East Watchtower/cardinal/compass point then
walk clockwise to each of the other directions. It is fine if it feels more comfortable to you to
start at a different point but always walk clockwise after calling the first direction.
Formal way of calling:
Power of ancient dreams, ancestors of the mighty east
Come forth, O guardians of Air.
Let your wings of intelligence my protection be
Hear this call, let my words draw you near.
Lock the gate that none may pass unless
They come in love and trust. Blessed Be!
Power of ancient dreams, ancestors of the mighty south
Come forth, O guardians of Fire.
May your firey breath cleanse my work.
Hear this call, let my words draw you near.
Lock the gate that none may pass unless
They come in love and trust. Blessed Be!
Power of ancient dreams, ancestors of the mighty west
Come forth, O guardians of Water.
May your sweeping waters bring protection all around.
Hear this call, let my words draw you near.
Lock the gate that none may pass unless
They come in love and trust. Blessed Be!
Power of ancient dreams, ancestors of the mighty north
Come forth, O guardians of Earth.
Let the North Star crown your brow.
Hear this call, let my words draw you near.
Lock the gate that none may pass unless
They come in love and trust. Blessed Be!
Causal way of calling:
I call Air to protect the Watchtower of the East and ask to lend your power to my circle.
I call Fire to the Watchtower of the South and ask you to lend your power to my circle
I call Water to the Watchtower of the West and ask you to lend your power to my circle.
I call Earth to the Watchtower of the North and ask you to lend your power to my circle.
I ask the Elements to guard my circle from your Watchtower.
To dismiss the Elements at the end of the ritual and before the Scared Circle is closed:
Starting in the East or whichever direction you called first move counter-clockwise
around to each Watchtower. Saying “_________(name of Element) go back
from where you came with my thanks and gratitude for your protection and help.” When
you have released the last element you would then close (open) your circle.

Avoid shopping or making important decisions after 3 PM EDT today (NOON PDT) for the rest of the day. The Moon is in Aquarius.
Very likely, a friend or a member of a group will say or do something that surprises you or catches you off guard. Get ready for this. Expect the unexpected! (Impossible to do.) In the meantime, enjoy schmoozing but commit to nothing important during the Moon Alert (see above).
This is a tricky day. Do be aware of the limitations of the Moon Alert (see above). Meanwhile discussions about money or property perhaps with a parent, boss or someone in the police, could interrupt your day. Things are unpredictable. Keep your eyes open.
Travel plans might be interrupted today. Alternatively, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. You have an urge to negotiate finances or spend money today – if so, be aware of the limitations of the Moon Alert above. Be smart.
Today you might discuss shared property, finances, debt, insurance issues or inheritances. If so, do not make important decisions during the Moon Alert (see above). Meanwhile, stay top of things because something unexpected could occur with your belongings or responsibilities. Protect what you own.
A partner, spouse or close friend will likely surprise you today. Or perhaps, you will meet someone new who is unusual and very different? Make no promises and don’t volunteer for anything during the Moon Alert (see above). Just tread water.
If you own a pet, keep your eyes open today because something unexpected might happen. In fact, your work will very likely be interrupted regardless. However, a boss, parent or someone in authority might help you today. Be open to this and welcome any help that you can get.
Social plans might change today – either way. In other words, an event or plans might be cancelled, or you might receive an unexpected invitation to do something? Meanwhile, parents should be alert because this is an accident-prone day for their kids. Romance might hit a few speed bumps.
A family discussion might be surprising today. It might be supportive in terms of help from someone else or financial assistance. Nevertheless, there will be a disagreement or something unexpected will occur. Small appliances might break down – something like that?
Do be careful because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Nevertheless, you will enjoy chatting to neighbours, friends and relatives. You’re full of clever bright ideas. Keep your eyes open to avoid verbal or physical missteps. Stay flexible so that you can go with the flow.
Stay in touch with your possessions and your money today because something unexpected might impact them. For example, you might find money or you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Be observant and aware.
Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with your ruler Uranus. This can make you hasty and inclined to jump to conclusions. It will also make you rebellious, which is why you might do the exact opposite of what someone suggests. (Don’t get hung up on trying to prove your independence.)
Because you might feel a bit unsettled or uneasy about something, you will welcome a discussion with someone in the family. It could help. Meanwhile, the rhythm of your day will be interrupted by something – almost certainly. Get ready.
Actor Tobey Maguire (1975) shares your birthday today. You have an easy-going, gentle charm. You are creative, playful and like to converse with others. You appear quiet and unassuming but you are intuitive and observant. Justice and fairness matter to you. This year your focus is on teamwork and cooperation with others because that is your easiest path to happiness. Explore whatever is mutually beneficial between you and others.

Today’s Tarot card reading comes from The Celtic Dragon Tarot by D. J. Conway. With art done by Lisa Hunt. This deck is unique as the cards are never read in reverse. Copyright 2001
Fire dragon holds two long swords in it’s claws, as it faces a man across an open, blazing vent in the rocky ground. The only connection to the other side is a narrow stone bridge without railings. The man hesitates, one foot on the bridge, one foot on solid ground. One of his hands is outstretched to take a sword, but he must cross to get one. Celtic spirals are craved into the stark stone of the surrounding landscape. The bridge represents the link between the conscious and subconscious minds. This tenuous area of the mind can be a frightening place when one is learning to join the psychic senses with everyday, common-sense deductions in order to make a better decisions. The only way to safely cross the bridge is to walk across without analyzing the potential for defeat or looking down at the dangerous fire below. The strength to take action can be drawn from knowledge of the meaning of the Celtic spirals; any momentary failure can be a stepping stone to a now opportunity.
Divinatory Meaning: There is tension and indecision in relationships or friendships. You are having difficulty gaining a sense of balance because you have no definite plans as to the direction you want to go. You are faced with having to balance two important things in your life without being able to make a firm decision.
The Queen of Swords is a mature woman who walks through a pit of fire with confidence. Although the flames flare around her on all sides, her face is calm, her eyes straight ahead. She has learned that life offers both positive and negative learning experiences and that one becomes stronger by refusing to give in to fear an despair. In one hand she carries a raised sword, while the other rests on the head of a Fire dragon who is mostly hidden behind her and from whose mouth issues more flames. The sword represents the Queen’s faith in her ability to fight her way through any adversity, while the huge dragon-companion symbolizes astral and spiritual teachers who are always beside us, not to impede our progress by making life to smooth, but to guide our steps through any “trial” to safety. The Queen wears a crown with a triangular-shaped, red stone in front, symbolic of her connectedness with both the Goddess and her own feminine power. Three little Fire dragons frolic in the flames, encouraging her to continue her path.
Divinatory Meaning: This card indicates a powerful feminine influence. You will be faced with with a period in your life that makes you learns an important lesson you have avoided. Be careful getting your way in something through manipulation, for later this action will come back to haunt you.
A large dragon tenderly administers healing and comfort to the man in the bed. Around his neck hangs a medallion with a triple spiral, symbol of life, death, and rebirth. As the man struggles with the mental and emotional agony that accompanies all cycles of renewal, the dragon looks on with love and understanding. The tracery on the window behind the dragon represents the Celtic Tree of Life, a symbol of the totality of all lives past, present, and future. The dragon’s spring-green color represents birth, a condition all humans must experience if they are to progress into higher realm of consciousness. It is the man’s responsibility to awaken from the nightmare of illusion and despair, the haunting dream of helplessness. Help is there in the form of the dragon and brilliant sunlight if only the man would open his eyes and reach out.
Divinatory Meaning: Something or someone out of the past comes back into your life with influences you may or may not like. Handle karmic relationships or issues correctly or pay the price. This card may point to a change of home or job. You are attracted to a new line of spiritual or magickal study. You will face an unpleasant but necessary decision.
Five robed magicians (some men, some women) are battling each other with their wands. Flashes of magickal energy come from the wands, as magicians either defend themselves or attack others. These magicians represent two types of people in the world: those who are overly ambitious and jealous of what others have accomplish, and those who must learn to defend themselves against such attacks by others. Jealous people often attack those who have worked hard and gained positive things from their efforts; unfortunately it is a common human failing. Life is difficult enough (symbolized by the rocky landscape and twisted tree roots), without complicating it with unnecessary battles brought on by misunderstanding, jealousy, and twisted ethics. Only a cool head, spiritual guidance, and resistance to foes will help a balanced person win the day. Tiny Air dragons dart above them, their fiery breath intermingling with flashes of energy. The represent the astral guardians who try to bring peace to such a situation.
Divinatory Meaning: Obstacles and opposition from other may complicate your life; you will have to struggle to overcome this. Harmful gossip could damage your reputation and/or career. You may find yourself in trouble with the law.
Sound: “oo”
Stands for: Auroch (like a wild ox)
Color: Orange (Dark Green)
Casting meaning: Uruz is also a rune of power, but unlike Fehu, it’s a power that we can neither own nor control. In a casting it can mean that personal success is near. For charms and talismans use Uruz for its healing powers.
Always a good omen, the Sun Rune means something of value is coming your way. You can look forward to taking a bold step, embarking in a new direction.
Some may be carried out of their daily grind by unexpected and fortunate events. Other will be made aware of added responsibility and will have to deal with it.
Expect public promotions and public affairs. Look to be amazed, dazzled or even shocked by scandals. An older person, or person of authority could have the answers you are now seeking.
Accept your position as a mover and shaker of the world. For you, the time is right to head for the spotlight.
E is Eadhadh, or Eadha, which is the Aspen, a symbol of endurance and courage. The Aspen is a durable, hardy tree that grows all over North America and Scotland, so when Eadhadh appears, take it as a sign of strong will and success. Challenges may come your way, but you will eventually conquer your adversaries and obstacles.
In folklore and literature, the Aspen is associated with heroes, and many “crowns of Aspen” have been found in ancient burial sites. The sturdy wood was popular for making shields, and were often imbued with magical protective properties. In the Highlands of Scotland, the Aspen was often rumored to be connected to the realm of the Fae.
Mundane Aspects: Like the Aspen, you can be flexible without snapping. No matter what obstacles come, allow yourself to know that these too will be gone eventually. You will be left stronger for the experience, if you can get over your fears and reservations.
Magical Aspects: Don’t give in to the pressures of the material world. Focus instead on your spiritual journey, even if it seems like it would be a lot easier to give up and let things fall by the wayside. Even in the Tarot, the Fool knows he has a long way to go, but the first step is the hardest. When Eadhadh appears, put aside your distractions, and take that first all-important step on your journey.
The chief characteristics of the number 4 are dependability, productivity, punctuality, and obedience. It is trustworthy, patient, conventional, and traditional.
People with prominent 4’s can seem dispassionate and solitary, preferring to toil in quiet obscurity. They work steadily and are extremely persistent, finding deep satisfaction in their accomplishments.
The 4 favors results over financial reward and public recognition. They are humble, often dress conservatively, and don’t clash with their surroundings.
They believe in effort and control and are goal-oriented, but their goals are often simple and down to earth. The 4 is not a visionary but notices every detail. They are capable, proficient, and they don’t cut corners – the perfect employee.
Looking at the shape of the number 4. you will notice the hard angles are a symbolic representation of this rather straight-edged workaholic – less creative or artistic, but excellent at working with their hands.
Many artisans and skilled laborers have the 4 prominent in their charts. The 4 works hard and is a good provider but demands discipline and loyalty. They do not do well in chaotic environments and are prone to panic attacks if it appears they don’t have things well under control.
However, they can also be intolerant and, when faced with people from other cultures, countries or races, their insecurity and fear of the unknown can make them uncomfortable, even prejudiced at the extreme.
Many 4s choose a career in the military where their disciplined nature is right at home – and do exceptionally well when they are assigned duties that include administrative and organizational work.
As with any number, there are contradicting traits within the 4. For instance, while they are not particularly social or fun-loving, the 4 often reveals an entertainingly dry sense of humor. Further, although they can be strict parents, the 4 is extremely devoted and will walk through fire to get their children what they need.
My description of the 4 is, not surprisingly, almost the exact opposite of my description of the 3. This is to be expected, as each number is a counterpoint to the one that directly precedes it. The 2 is the polar opposite of the 1, the 3 displays traits that are directly opposed to those of the 2, and so on. Keep in mind, if you have a 4 in your core numbers, your other core numbers will affect the influence of the 4.
Today’s Animal Spirt Guide card comes from Messages from Your Animal Spirit Guides Oracle Cards by Steven D. Farmer Copyright 2008
When you express yourself from your heart and from a place of power, it’s an unbeatable combination. You don’t need to growl or bully, nor do you need to fade into the background and deny yourself the opportunity to directly affect the situation. By showing up and being completely present, even when you’re simply listening, you’re a force to be reckoned with.
Ask for what you want, and see what happens. Don’t get worked up about how it turns out. You may or may not get what you want, but at least your chances are much better if you do ask. As for setting boundaries with others (such as saying no to requests or demands), when you do so, they may respect those boundaries or try to test them. If they do test the limits you’ve set, stand your ground, be clear, and don’t apologize.
Approach the situation with the purity and innocence of a child and the focused intensity of a true warrior—one who doesn’t speak or act from anger, but from a place of truth and dignity. Know when you do so, you’ll have nothing to fear.
Associations: Fearlessness; Purity; Leadership; Powerful; Provider; Self-control; Strength; Wisdom; Nobility; Conservation; Intensity; Playfulness; Adaptability
When trying to make an important decision it is sometimes difficult. Also, we may mention it to other people and then each of them give us their opinion and our thoughts can get more muddled. This is is designed to help clear up our thoughts at just such a time.
I call upon Fire to light my way,
I call upon Air to push the cobwebs away.
I call upon Water to soothe my thoughts,
I call upon Earth for clarity of thoughts.
I call upon Spirit to guide the way,
In make this decision today.

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Capricorn.
For some reason, personal details about your private life seem to be public today. Perhaps people are talking about you? Because this influence is present, avoid a public argument or anything that might embarrass you. (Check your zipper.)
Today you feel restless. It’s Friday and you want something different to happen. You want adventure and a chance to see new places or meet new faces. You also want to learn something new. Basically, you want to be stimulated in a way that expands your world.
You’re very vocal and proactive right now, which is why you are concerned with issues about inheritances, shared property, insurance matters or something to do with your debt. You’ will successfully deal with problems or disputes because you are confident. Furthermore, Mercury in your sign will give you gravitas.
Ideally, you need to go more than halfway when dealing with others today. Even though the Sun and Venus are in your sign, which is a good thing because they are empowering plus Venus will always make you charming and diplomatic – nevertheless, with the Moon opposite your sign, be cooperative with others.
It’s Friday! And you’re energetic because fiery Mars is in your sign. Nevertheless, you have to take care of certain details and old business on behalf of someone else. You might have to do someone a favour or work on their behalf. You might have to deal with a pet today.
It’s Friday and you are in a playful mood! Accept invitations to party or socialize. You will also enjoy the arts, a romantic get-together, sports events or playful activities with kids. This is a friendly, social day for you!
It’s the end of the week and you are still high viz. You’ve been active with friends and groups, perhaps even physically or in competition. That’s why you will appreciate a chance to catch your breath and enjoy some quiet time at home. (Whew!)
In conversation with others today, you’re eager to be heard. You have something to say. You want to have a meaningful exchange with someone not just superficial, polite chitchat because you feel the need for a connection with someone.
You have money on your mind today because right now, there are four planets in both of your Money Houses. This means you are thinking about earnings, cash flow and possible major purchases. You are also doing a bit of wheeling and dealing related to debt and shared property.
The Moon is in your sign today, which will make you more emotional than usual. Do be aware of this. However, the good news is that when the Moon is in your sign (for two days every month) it’s slightly boosts your good luck. Yay! Ask the universe for a favour!
It’s Friday and you feel playful, especially with kids and younger people. You will also enjoy a chance to appreciate the arts and crafts of others. Nevertheless, you have a strong urge for privacy and a chance to contemplate your navel with a drink in hand.
Right now, you’re playing hard and working hard! You will definitely enjoy schmoozing with others today and this evening. Social outings, the arts, sports events, fun times with kids and romantic adventures are all tops on your menu right now. Enjoy a warm conversation with someone today.
Actress Busy Philipps (1979) shares your birthday today. You are intuitive and sense the feelings and problems of others, which makes you sympathetic and caring.

While many Witches have cats as familiars many of us have other furry or winged beings. A familiar is not an animal that goes out to do a Witch’s bidding, or to spy on their enemies or steal energy from others. A Witch’s familiar is their companion, a being that can help calm them as well as add power to some spells and/or rituals. They are not mean and attack people as they are so often portrayed as doing in films, TV shows, books, etc. You may be asking yourself “How do I know if a pet is my familiar or not?” or even “How do I find my familiar?” The best answers I have for these are if you feel a special bond with your pet, I’m not talking about a normal I love my pet kind of thing but
You may be asking yourself “How do I know if a pet is my familiar or not?” or even “How do I find my familiar?” The best answers I have for these are if you feel a special bond with your pet, I’m not talking about a normal I love my pet kind of thing but, ok hard to put into words but I will try, a calming effect whenever you are upset and your pet comes to you or it makes you feel, more, complete as a living being. You more than likely have one of your familiars for this lifetime. Now if you don’t have it or any pet and are looking for one my suggestion is first figure out if you are more drawn to dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters or…well I think you get where I’m going here. After that visit shelters, reliable pet shops, rescue places or even read the
Now if you don’t have it or any pet and are looking for one my suggestion is first figure out if you are more drawn to dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters or…well I think you get where I’m going here. After that visit shelters, reliable pet shops, rescue places or even read the classifieds in the newspaper and then go to see the animal(this is how I found my Cleo). Make sure you meet any animal that catches your eye. Do not make a snap decision but visit with the animal and see if it pick you as its human, pick it up cuddle with it or if it is to big for you to pick up and you can get down on its level. Believe me when I say you will know the animal is your familiar as soon as you make close physical contact with it. You will have a feeling a connection to that animal immediately.
Now we all know our lifespan is a lot longer then our companions/familiars is. Not to worry just as we live many lifetimes so do our familiars. So far for me in this lifetime my familiar has come to me as a cat, Tuffy, when I was 10 years old, he lived to be 17, then I got (my children…hahaha) a half cocker spaniel-half shelty mix, Boots, in my 30’s who lived for 14 1/2 years and now as my beautiful Cleo. The reason for me going so long in between Tuffy and Boots was I was in a rocky place on my life path barely able to take care of myself some days much less a pet plus I had fallen away from my Spiritual self and I hadn’t met the right companion for me during that time. Then between Boots and Cleo there was about a year and half while I was deciding what kind of pet I wanted. One day a friend of my husbands came over and brought his 4-month-old Min Pin, I had never really seen the breed before even though I had been working with canines for over 40 years and fell in love with the breed. So the search began and about 5 months later my hubby came home with an ad he had pulled out of our local newspaper for a breeder selling Min Pins very cheap. We called, made an appointment to see the litter, went to the breeders home and there were 3 girls and 1 boy. I was looking for a male only because up until this time my familiars had been male but the Universe had different plans for me this time. I put my hand into the enclosure the puppies were in and Cleo came up to chew on my engagement ring, lick my hand and try to climb over the fence, mind you, she was only 5 inches tall and weighed in at 2 pounds. I took my hand away from her trying to pet her siblings, she would have none of that as she pushed them away from my hand. So after putting my hand in and out a few times to see if she would keep coming over, which she did. When my hubby put his hand in there the same thing happened, she pushed everyone else out of the way to get to his hand. I asked to hold her and there was an instant bond with her and I. While her and my hubby are friendly there is no doubt that she is my companion and familiar.
Added note 2015- In 2014 I got a rescue Chihuahua, named Starbabie. She is now three years old and is another familiar of mine. I do not know why I have two of them in my life right now, but I am grateful for it. Towards the beginning of this year I was alone in our home for almost week with just my girls, I live next door to a state-run group home for boys some of who just got out of jail for violent crimes. Even though my girls are small I was not worried because Cleo kept watch on the outside of the house (through the picture windows in the living room and my den) and Star never left my side

After 9:15 AM EDT today (6:15 AM PDT), there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Full Moon in Capricorn peaks at 2:40 PM EDT (11:40 AM PDT).
The Full Moon today makes you feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and public reputation. Today you cannot ignore home and family. And so it goes.
Be careful because the energy of today’s Full Moon can make this an accident-prone day for you. Therefore, think before you speak or act. Pay special attention if you are walking, jogging, biking or driving. Do not be distracted.
Today’s Full Moon might bring some kind of financial issue to a head for your sign. This could relate to earnings. It might also relate to your debt or your involvement with the wealth of someone else, perhaps your partner. After today, you might be able to improve things.
Today the only Full Moon all year that occurs opposite your sign is taking place. This will definitely create tension between you and partners, spouses and close friends. Do not jump the gun. Do not overreact. Patience is your best friend.
The Full Moon today might create some tension at work, especially with coworkers. Perhaps you are the only one who feels this tension and you are projecting it onto others? This is possible. Do what you can to stay calm and decide to give everything a sober, second thought.
Be patient with friends today and also be patient with groups and clubs because today’s Full Moon can make people edgy and too emotional. Likewise, parents should be patient with their kids. Meanwhile your kids might have hissy fits and meltdowns. (Classic Full Moon behavior.)
Some Full Moons are easier than others. (This one not so much.) You feel pulled in two directions – home and family versus your job and your career. What to do? Today you cannot ignore your job and your public reputation. Be as skilful as possible.
This is an accident-prone day for your sign so pay attention to everything you say and do. Heightened emotions caused by today’s Full Moon energy can distract you and create a problem either verbally or physically. Therefore, be mindful. Slow down and take it easy.
Some kind of financial situation will come to a head today because of the Full Moon. Very possibly, it relates to your responsibilities for someone else or perhaps money that you owe to someone? Hopefully, after the Full Moon peaks, these problems will diminish.
Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place, which means your emotions are all over the place. It might not look like this to others, but you will feel it. Be kind yourself and don’t be hasty making decisions. Be safe and go gently.
Today’s Full Moon might create problems related to your health or your pet or your job or any task that you set for yourself today. Generally, the Full Moon brings things to a head forcing you to decide one way or the other. Tread carefully.
Parents should be aware that this is an accident-prone day for their kids. Furthermore, their kids might feel upset because of the Full Moon energy. Meanwhile, this is also a challenging day for romantic couples because the Full Moon stirs up extreme emotions. Don’t act. Wait until things settle down.
Actor Iain Glen (1961) shares your birthday today. You’re careful, tactful and hard-working. You are also creative and artistic and have the self-discipline to use these talents. Home and family will always be a prime focus for you. This year you are harvesting the seeds you previously planted, which means that for most of you, this is a successful year. Expect accolades and recognition plus material success as well.
