June 18 Moon Goddess’ Current Phase

Today the Moon will be in a First Quarter phase. This phase occurs roughly 7 days after the New Moon when the moon is one quarter of the way through its orbit around the earth. Exactly half the moon will be illuminated and half dark. On the day of the First Quarter phase the moon is high overhead at sunset and is visible until mid-night when it sets in the west. The First Quarter phase is a one-day event and in the following days enters a Waxing Gibbous phase becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.

Visit the June 2021 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

First Quarter Phase

The First Quarter on June 18 has an illumination of 54%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On June 18 the Moon is 7.73 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

A Thought for Today

Today I leave you with this thought

We need to remember as the sands of time move onward to take time out for ourselves during the hustle and bustle of of every day life.

Blessed be dear Sisters, Brothers, and Guests.

Mediation to Rid Yourself of Negativity

This is a semi-guided meditation to help you clear the negativity from your mind and Spirit. You should not do this at a time that you will get relaxed and fall asleep before the end of the mediation. This is to relax your mind and body as it helps you to get rid of negativity you may be holding inside. There will be times your subconscious will bring up things you were not even aware of bothering you.

Do not light a candle for this meditation because you eyes will be closed and it could be unsafe.

To do this meditation, pick a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed by anyone or anything for 30 to 45 minutes.

Put on some soft music preferably without words to distract you. I like Celtic Bagpipe and drums or Native American Flutes or Whale songs mixed with classical music or plain classical music depending on the mood I am in.

Light one of these incense sticks of Jasmine or Sandalwood (which can be used as a substitution for any other incenses or essential oil) Any of these will help with mediation and cleaning of negative energy while bring in purification.

After you turn on your music and get in a very comfortable position; find one you so won’t have to readjust yourself to get comfortable once you start. I usually wait for a minute or to two to start after I think I am comfortable just in case my body has other ideas. Once you have that accomplished, take three long, slow, deep breaths it should take a slow count of six or seven as you inhale and a minimum of ten as you exhale. About half way through exhaling each time pick a word to use to help you clear your mind of everyday thoughts which will help you relax. I use the word relax, it is simple, but it tells myself what I am trying to accomplish. Let every part of your body relax completely. I feel myself kind of melting into whatever I am meditating on my bed or Lazyboy with the footrest up of course.  Many people think all meditation should be done sitting up as straight as possible within “Indian” style position (leg folded at the knee in front of you) with hands resting palm up on legs. Again pick a position most comfortable for you to meditate in but not fall asleep during it.

After you feel yourself relax, picture yourself approaching a bridge over a river running rather swiftly with a handful of stones and something to write on them with. Walk to the middle of the bridge then one by one throw the stones into the river. Each stone have something that is bothering is you written on it. As you throw the stones into the river one by one think of the thing that is written on it that you are throwing away. Watch as the river takes the stone and your problem along with it as it rushes away from you under the bridge. After throwing the stone into the river try to not think about what you are trying to let go of anymore. Know that it is now in the hands of the Universe and it will take care of it for you.

After you have thrown the last stone in for this mediation again take three slow, deep breaths allowing yourself to come back to the “real” world slowly. Do not attempt to immediately get up from where you chose to meditate, give yourself a couple of minutes to enjoy the light feeling of riding yourself of negativity. This can be done as often as you feel a need to do it. Also have a glass of water by you and drink it before standing up.

You now need to fill the voids from where the negativity resided in you. To do this ask the Universe or a God and/or Goddess to fill the space with positive, loving energy.

Do not be discouraged or think it won’t work if you have trouble keeping yourself focused on the imagery the first few times you try it as it takes a little practice and patience to do this. Once you can get yourself to the point of not letting the things you have let go back into your mind you will begin to feel more grounded and better in general.

Magickal Suggestion for Thursdays

 

Magickal Suggestion for Thursdays

 

Try wearing some honeysuckle-scented perfume to encourage prosperity. Bewitch someone by wearing deep royal blue or brighten up a dreary day by wearing lucky, prosperity-drawing green. Brew up a pot of mint tea to help increase your cash flow. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to an unscented candle to encourage some fast cash. Bake up a loaf of wheat bread for the family, and celebrate abundance and be thankful for all that you have.

Conjure up a witchy craft and create a philter or two for your magickal needs. Work with the deities and the magickal plants corresponding with Thursday.

How did the energies of the plants of Jupiter enhance your magick? What did you learn by working with Juno, Jove, or Zeus? The truth is that by adding these new techniques and information into your spellcasting repertoire, you will indeed advance your skills, thereby moving up in the ranks to become a more adept magickal practitioner

Just by believing in yourself and working toward creating abundance, health, and prosperity, you have already begun to transform your outlook on life. Put your game face on; think positively. Work with Thor for perseverance and courage, and apply those qualities to your own prosperity spells and healing witchery. Break out the tarot cards; How could you incorporate that symbolism into other spells of your own design?

Use your imagination, check Thursday’s correspondence list, and see what other bewitching things you can conjure up for prosperity magick all by yourself. Call on the gods and goddess of Thursday and bring some positive change, abundance, health, and prosperity into your life!

Daily Horoscope Thursday, June 17, 2021

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today until 9 PM Pacific time. The Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you are aware of your health. Or perhaps, your pet? (Woof!) More likely, you will have to work for the benefit of someone else, and furthermore, you might not get credit for what you’re doing. (Whaaat?) Bummer.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a relatively easy-going day. If you can, schmooze with others. You’re also interested in the arts, music, movies and fun outings. Romance will be more passionate and involved today. You also feel protective of someone.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you want to retire by yourself in a private place because it feels good. It’s the perfect day for some navel gazing or pleasant relaxation in a private way. (You might realize how much your habits dictate your life.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

In conversations with others today, you feel the need to establish an emotional bond. You want the real thing. The nitty-gritty. You don’t want superficial chitchat. You need a meaningful conversation. Anyone? Anyone? Buehler? Anyone?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might identify with your possessions today, which is why you might want to show something off. Or perhaps you won’t lend something to someone because it’s too precious. You’re focused on your money today, which is why you are also more aware of your spending habits. This is good.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you feel more emotional than usual – no question. You are emotionally giving and also emotionally demanding. This is because you feel a strong need to relate to others today. Note: It’s good to know that your luck is slightly better today, which is why you can ask the universe for a favour.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your pace is been a tad hectic and busy lately, which is why today, you will welcome solitude in beautiful surroundings. Preferably with a nice snack – something tasty. (Then you will feel comforted.) You will also have a chance to collect yourself and pull your act together before you take it on the road.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A conversation with a friend, possibly a female, will be meaningful for you today. No doubt you will feel a bonding with this person that is reassuring to you. In fact, this increased trust or closeness will encourage you to share your dreams for the future with them. Why not?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You should be aware of the fact that people notice you more than usual today. Do you need to do some damage control? Check your zipper? This is the kind of day where you might have a public argument with a loved one. (People can hear you hissing.) Relax – just be aware of this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Because you long for some stimulation and adventure today, you want something to happen! You don’t want same old, same old. Obviously, if you want a different result, you have to do something different to make this happen. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Meet people from different backgrounds. Do something.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Although this is a playful, fun-loving time for you, you can’t ignore business. Not forever. What’s happening with your bank account and with other red-tape matters? Take care of loose details or at least, check them out so that you know what’s happening.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you have to be cooperative with others, especially those who are closest to you. Make nice with them. That’s because the Moon is opposite your sign. In two weeks, when the Moon is in your sign, they have to make nice with you.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Thomas Haden Church (1960) shares your birthday today. You are witty, entertaining, creative and adaptable. You have a debonair, outgoing style, and yet, you are a serious person with serious concerns. You can be impulsive. In a nine-year cycle, you are now in a one year, which means this a time of fresh beginnings and new starts. Be receptive to all possibilities. Open any door!
