A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Move forward with confidence when dealing with financial matters today. These could relate to current earnings, or potential future earnings; but ideally, it will be matters that you have already set in motion. Trust your “big” ideas! You’re on a roll!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Sun in your sign is dancing with big daddy Pluto, which gives you a powerful energy to look around you and decide what needs to be changed or improved. Do you need to introduce reforms into your daily world? You can make these changes rather easily now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today your ruler Mercury is retrograde, and dancing with lucky Jupiter, which means you have lots of optimistic, hopeful energy to finish projects that you have already started. Your hopes and wishes are more important to you today. Write down your plans for the future. Get a bead on where you’re headed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will find that you will express yourself more forcefully talking to friends and members of groups today. Because you can do this so easily, you will make a strong impression on someone! (If you see the hair blowing back over their ears, take it easy.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A discussion with a parent or boss will be intense and powerful today. Be careful you don’t cross a line and threaten them in any way because you will be forceful. You want to get things done and you want to move quickly! Nevertheless, remember that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might want to avoid subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because these will be buttons that could trigger arguments with others. This is because you are coming on like gangbusters, even if you don’t realize it. Note: Someone else might come on just as strong! This is a recipe for a fight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You can see how to improve a financial arrangement with someone today. It might be about reducing debt or dealing with taxes and insurance issues. It might be a better arrangement on how to deal with shared property? One thing is certain: You’ll have no trouble making your case.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you might attract someone to you who is very powerful. (“Hi Darth.”) Nevertheless, you will also be powerful — so express yourself with care and good judgment. This is an excellent day to join forces with someone to investigate something.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you’re gung-ho to introduce reforms so that you can improve your health. Meanwhile, some of you will use this same energy to introduce reforms to your job or how you do your work. The bottom line is you intend to make things better!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Whether you are in sports or the arts or music, be aware that today is an excellent day to practice something. That’s because you will get way more results for your efforts than you usually would. Practice dance, arpeggios, catching a ball, batting, martial arts – whatever.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will see ways to introduce improvements to where you live today, especially in areas related to plumbing, bathrooms, garbage and recycling. Meanwhile, in a family discussion, a secret might come out. Or you might suspect that a secret exists.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are super convincing today when talking to others, which makes this a strong day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, acting as well as writing. Personally, you might want to determine what motivates you? What changes do you need to make?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Polly Walker (1966) shares your birthday today. You have a calm, detached even regal style. This can make you convincing when talking to others. Personally, you are focused and determined. This year you have a stronger zest for life, which is why you will enjoy socializing and reaching out to others. Let your hair down and have fun!

May 19 birthday horoscope predicts that you take a royal approach to life. You are brilliant and have an independent quality that makes you a great leader. People will thrive under your guidance.

According to the May 19 zodiac analysis, your friends and family members usually elect you as the go-to person when anyone needs an extra hand. This May 19 birthday personality has an exceptionally sharp intellect and great independence. This quality makes a confident and intellectual leader.

Naturally, those born on this birthday are independently secure in their values. You take your duties responsibly and enjoy being around others. The Taurus birthday individuals born on May 19 are likely to make new friends with ease and perhaps have too many acquaintances.

More often than not, this Taurus chooses a few close relationships to come to in their time of need. These friends know their dreams, hopes and ultimately, their fears.

If today is your birthday, you hold dear certain family members although you enjoy the family reunions. You love being a part of this diverse group of ancestry. But you might have to wait to have children of your own. When this Bull does decide to have children, they will be brought up with morals and a sense of knowing.

The May 19th birthday astrology analysis predicts that you fall in love hard when you do fall. It is so hard for this Taurean to trust people, it makes it difficult to share any feelings, hopes or dreams. Being friends first is paramount to you to make a lasting partnership.

In a long-term relationship, the May 19 zodiac person can be eager and spontaneous regarding wickedly erotic engagements. A relationship with a Taurus born on May 19 can be fun and exciting. You are generous, interesting, and idealistic. However, you can be domineering and straightforward individuals.

The May 19th horoscope predicts that you desire physical work as opposed to a desk job. Money is a necessary value that provides the luxuries you love to have around.  But as the May 19 birthday zodiac sign is Taurus, you do not require a large paycheck to validate your degree of success. This allows you the opportunity to share the material goods bestowed on you.

The May 19 birthday meanings show that these bulls may need guidance in preparing nutritious meals and overall, how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You have your burst of energy but still, need to develop a workout routine to stay fit and tone. Just being full of energy is not enough. This energy should be focussed on the right things.

Typically, these Taurus natives are instinctively competitive. If you like outdoor sports, try establishing a routine of playing your favorite game. Include the people that you love so much and make it enjoyable as well as functional as quality family time. Be careful though Taurus, you are accident-prone.

People born on May 19 exemplify c. These Taureans are very smart and value their independence as being essential to their privacy. Normally, you will maintain a close relationship with few family members although you make friends easily. Not all your friends can be your close friends.

The May 19 birthday analysis shows that you will become parents late in life. As a career, you look for the original job titles. The pay does not have to be a factor on whether you will succeed but rather the kind of work you do will make you ambitious. Once financial stability has been obtained, the May 19 Taurus is generous and shares with their family.

The Sun

Growth, new beginnings, fertility, prosperity, solar magic, god

When this witches rune pops up in a reading, I typically smile. The sun means different things to different people; however, the fact that it sustains the planet also means it sustains our lives and brings an abundance of good things.

Ogham

From LearnReligions.com – Celtic Ogham

Beith, or Beth, corresponds to the letter B in the alphabet, and is associated with the Birch tree. When this symbol is used, it is representative of new beginnings, change, release, and rebirth. In some traditions, it also has connections with purification.

Birch trees are hardy. They’ll grow just about anywhere, including on bare soil. Because they tend to grow in clusters, what may be just one or two seedlings now can be practically an entire forest in a few decades. In addition to being a sturdy sort of tree, the Birch is useful. In days gone by, it was used for infants’ cradles, and is still harvested today to make cabinets and furniture.

From a magical perspective, there are a number of uses for Birch. The branches are traditionally incorporated into the construction of a besom, and are used for the bristles. Use the white outer bark in ritual in place of paper or parchment–just be sure you only harvest the bark from a fallen Birch tree, not a living one. Ancient herbalists discovered that various parts of this tree can be used for medicinal purposes. Bark was once brewed into a tea to fight fevers, and the leaves were used alternately as a laxative and a diuretic, depending on how they were prepared.

Beith Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means it’s time to get rid of all those negative influences you’ve been carrying around with you. Figure out what things are bad in your life, which relationships are toxic, and find a way to leave them behind. Instead of being dragged down by the negative, focus on the positive things you have in your life, the blessings and abundance. Use these things as a focus, rather than the harmful or damaging ones.

Magical Aspects: Consider the property of renewal and rebirth, as demonstrated by the Birch. Use this as a tool for spiritual and emotional regrowth, and developing your own ability to regenerate where there has been emptiness or devastation.

A Deluge from Heaven:
The Superior Person rains fortune upon those in need, then moves on with no thought of the good he does.

The issue must be raised before an impartial authority.
Be sincere and earnest, despite the danger.
Do not try to force the outcome, but seek support where needed.
Set a clear goal.

Your iron will must come to the forefront now.
It will take great personal determination to resolve the situation in question.
Your adversary would love to force you into an angry display.

You must resolutely take a public stand against what he represents, but refuse to engage him.
Without compromise, you show others the way to higher ground

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence Digest for Thursday

From GypsyWolf.weebly.com

Thursday is the fifth day of the week.   In the Norse languages this day is called Torsdag, honoring Thor, the god of strength, fertility, thunder, the protector and defender in war, and son of Odin.  Thor is the counterpart of Zeus (Greek), and Jupiter or Jove (Roman).  Thor, the most beloved of the great gods of northern mythology, is the only god who cannot cross from earth to heaven across the rainbow bridge, for he is so heavy and powerful that the gods fear it will break under his weight.  It was said that whenever his hammer Mjollnir, was thrown, it would produce a thunderbolt and when struck against stone, it would create lightning.

Thursday

Latin: Dies Jovis (“Jove’s Day”), after Jove or Jupiter, the almighty Roman God.
French: jeudi
Italian: giovedi
Spanish: el jueves
German: Donnerstag
Dutch: donderdag

Rules: Expansion, wealth, prosperity, political power, legal matters, spirituality, meditation.

Spell for Today – Juno’s Prosperity Elemental Ritual

 

Juno’s Prosperity Elemental Ritual

 

calls for some natural magick supplies. Try working with affordable tumbled malachite stones. As for the wheat stalks, look at the dried flowers and fillers in the arts and crafts shops. Ditto for the feather, or peruse a fly-tying store; you can usually pick up a package of feathers for a few bucks. As to the green seven-day candle, if you look around, you can find green jar candles. I actually found some at the grocery store for a dollar apiece. They were in the ethnic food aisle and were called novena candles. I simply peeled the saint sticker off of it, and abracadabra! An instant seven-day candle for my witchery.

As mentioned before, all of these magickal supplies listed below correspond with the goddess Juno in two of her prosperity-drawing aspects, Juno Augusta (the harvest mother) and Juno Moneta (patron of the Roman mint).

1 malachite stone (to represent the earth element)

A few peacock feathers (to represent the element of air)

3 small stalks dried wheat

1 green seven-day jar candle for prosperity

3 drops honeysuckle, peppermint, or clove oil (all of these oils encourage prosperity)

A clean dropper (to add the oil to the candle)

A long, thin screwdriver (to put holes in the candle)

A dollar bill or coin

Matches or a lighter

A safe, flat surface on which to set up the spell

Carefully and slowly push the screwdriver straight down into the wax. Now pull it straight back up. Add two more holes for the essential oil. Now set the screwdriver aside; using the dropper, squirt a few drops of honeysuckle oil down into those channel that you just created.

Next, hold the green jar candle in your hands and transfer a little of your personal power and desire for prosperity into the candle. Then place the candle on your work area on top of the currency. Arrange the stone, wheat stalks, and feathers to your liking. Make your work area pretty, and enjoy the process. While you are doing so, you may chant the following (the chanting will help you raise some energy too):

By the power of three times three
Bring prosperity now to me!

When you feel that you are ready, light the candle and repeat the following verse three times:

Juno Moneta, Roman goddess of prosperity
Lend your power to this elemental spell that I weave
Juno Augusta, mother of the harvest, hear my plea
These three golden stalks of wheat are a gift to you from me
A peacock feather for air, and a malachite for earth
Lady, bless me with success, abundance, and rebirth
For the good of all, with harm to none
In Juno’s name, this spell has begun!

Allow the candle to burn until it goes out on its own. It will probably take five to seven days for the jar candle to burn out. When I burn seven-day candles, I tuck them inside of my large cast-iron cauldron, then I place the spell components around the outside of the jar. That way, the candle can continue to safely burn, and even if it gets knocked over, everything stays contained inside of the fireproof cauldron.

Once the jar candle is finished, pocket the malachite stone and the bill or coin. Keep the money with you, tucked in your wallet or in your pocket. Tie up the feathers somewhere where prominent where you will see them every day, like the rearview mirror of your car, your dresser mirror, or a chest of drawers’ handle. Every time you see the feather, tell Juno thank you. Take the dried wheat and crumble the pieces apart. Sprinkle the seeds outside as an offering for Juno. Abundance and prosperity will find their way to you soon.

Please note: If you cannot leave the ritual candle safely burning then snuff it out when you leave and relight it as soon as you are home. It may take a few days longer, but the magick will still turn out, especially since you are taking the time and energy to tend the ritual candle so carefully. As you relight the candle, say:
As this ritual candle relights, so does my magick one more ignite.

Enjoy your ritual work, and may prosperity come to you in the best possible way!

A Digital Lunar Eclipse

Image Credit & Copyright: Michael Cain

Explanation: Recorded on May 15/16 this sequence of exposures follows the Full Moon during a total lunar eclipse as it arcs above treetops in the clearing skies of central Florida. A frame taken every 5 minutes by a digital camera shows the progression of the eclipse over three hours. The bright lunar disk grows dark and red as it glides through planet Earth’s shadow. In fact, counting the central frames in the sequence measures the roughly 90 minute duration of the total phase of this eclipse. Around 270 BC, the Greek astronomer Aristarchus also measured the duration of total lunar eclipses, but probably without the benefit of digital watches and cameras. Still, using geometry he devised a simple and impressively accurate way to calculate the Moon’s distance in terms of the radius of planet Earth, from the eclipse duration.

Today’s Word is

Merry Andrew

Brought to you by wordoftheday.net

Merry Andrew / noun / mer·ry an·drew

“Merry Andrew” is an archaic definition we use to describe people who behave in a clownish or buffoonish fashion. This early 16th-century noun represents the silly antics or behavior of a person who others consider as being foolish and “jester-like.” Being called a “Merry Andrew” is not a compliment. Someone being called a “Merry Andrew” is being insulted and described as a fool. Merry Andrew is also the name of the 1958 American musical film directed by Michael Kidd and starring famed actor Danny Kaye.
