Spell for Today – Easy Truth Spell

Easy Truth Spell

This spell can be used for finding out the truth behind someone’s words if they are avoiding a subject or lying to you, it can also be used to find out things that may have been right in front of you the entire time.

You will need to make a circle of protection for this spell so make sure you know how, if not please refer to the steps located in this guide for how to make a circle of protection.

Things you will need:

– A small Lapis Lazuli gemstone which has been cleansed by either being soaked in salt water or held over lit incense
– A purple or white candle
– Small white cloth

Step 1: Begin by casting your circle and lighting the candle in front of you, focus on the flame and use it to clear your mind of all thought.

Step 2: Take your gemstone in your hand, visualise a white flame in your mind with your eyes closed, try to imagine the flame growing larger and brighter until it fills the whole of your circle.

Step 3: Channel the light around you into the gemstone in your hand and visualise it glowing brighter than the sun, then being to chant the following: “Let the truth that I seek reveal itself to me, May what is hidden come into the light, so mote it be”

Step 4: Close your circle and place the now enchanted gemstone under your pillow, the answers you seek will be revealed in your dreams, you will not remember them but you will have gut feelings over the answers the next day, when you are not using the stone make sure to wrap it in a small white cloth and don’t let anyone else touch it.

A Moon Dressed Like Saturn

Image Credit & Copyright: Francisco Sojuel

Explanation: Why does Saturn appear so big? It doesn’t — what is pictured are foreground clouds on Earth crossing in front of the Moon. The Moon shows a slight crescent phase with most of its surface visible by reflected Earthlight known as ashen glow. The Sun directly illuminates the brightly lit lunar crescent from the bottom, which means that the Sun must be below the horizon and so the image was taken before sunrise. This double take-inducing picture was captured on 2019 December 24, two days before the Moon slid in front of the Sun to create a solar eclipse. In the foreground, lights from small Guatemalan towns are visible behind the huge volcano Pacaya.

August 2022 General Monthly Horoscope

From tarot.com

Anything goes as the month begins — literally anything! Assertive Mars makes a combustible conjunction to wild Uranus in Taurus on August 1. We’ll experience this conjunction as fireworks in our lives, since these two planets together are definitely flammable. Tempers might flare, but this also may jumpstart the exact connections we need.

Love becomes a playful adventure as Venus enters Leo on August 11. Our approach to romance might be lighter than usual. Sometimes, being innocent and having an open heart is exactly what’s required to make the most out of love. A Full Moon in Aquarius happens on the same day, reminding us that a solid foundation in friendship is vital to nurture our lives.

Duality becomes a major theme as Mars enters Gemini on August 20. We might feel energetically pulled in many different directions that compete for our stamina. Fortunately, we should have the gusto to juggle more than one major goal during this time. It’s not about choosing — it’s about balancing. Even so, the universe is giving us the ability to be discerning and pay attention to the details around any new project begun after the New Moon in Virgo on August 27. We’ve got the power!

THE NUMBER OF PLANETS RETROGRADE IN AUGUST MIGHT PUT YOU ON EDGE

The term retrograde gets a bad rap. (Mercury rx, I blame you.) But surprisingly, retrogrades aren’t always earth-shattering events. How life-changing a retrograde tends to be is based on the planet itself and its proximity to the sun, which vary widely. For example, Mercury and Venus retrogrades are often more noticeable, since those planets (aka inner planets) are closer to the sun (and Earth), while the retrogrades of outer planets like Uranus and Neptune aren’t always as apparent. So when I tell you that there are five retrograde planets in August 2022, don’t panic — all of them are outer planets, making the changes they bring up far more gradual.

What Is A Retrograde?

The definition of “retrograde” means to reverse or go backward — but when it comes to the planets, they are actually always moving forward. During this cycle from Earth, however, it appears as if they’re going backward, when in reality they’re just changing speeds.

Every astrological planet retrogrades periodically, except for the sun and moon (since they’re luminaries). The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), in particular, spend about four to five months every year retrograde. These retrogrades always occur around the time that they form a trine to the sun, which activates the retrograde of the planet. Near the end of the retrograde, the retrograde planet will form another trine to the sun, bringing endings to that period, and usually a revelation.

What Planets Will Be Retrograde During August 2022?

With all five outer planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto — retrograde in August 2022, there will definitely be some reviewing and revising that takes place, but don’t worry, you’ve experienced the retrogrades of each of these planets every single year, so you’re a pro.

What is the August Full Sturgeon Moon?

August’s full moon is called the Full Sturgeon Moon, after the primitive fish that used to be abundant in North America’s lakes and rivers during the summer months. Having remained mostly unchanged since the earliest fossil records, sturgeons are ancient living fossils that can grow up until 3.5 meters long, or as long as two adult humans stacked on top of each other. Nowadays, however, it’s almost impossible to see a sturgeon during the Full Sturgeon Moon. While they used to thrive, sturgeons are now considered the single most critically endangered group of species on earth – and you might be part of the reason why.

Have you ever eaten caviar? Some species of sturgeons are harvested for their roe, which is then processed into caviar. Because of this, wild sturgeons have been exploited to the brink of extinction due to overfishing and illegal poaching. In addition, they are also vulnerable to water pollution, and their breeding grounds are often damaged due to agriculture and lumbering. Though sturgeons are extremely long-lived – the females can live up to be 150 years old – sturgeons might not be around for much longer. They might have survived the dinosaurs, but they might not be able to survive human beings and our hunger for luxurious delicacies like caviar. But there is something even more terrifying than hungry human beings: hungry ghosts.

In China, the Full Sturgeon Moon is known as the Hungry Ghosts Moon. August’s full moon coincides with the Hungry Ghosts Festival, which is when the gates of hell open up and the hungry dead once again walk amongst the living. The Chinese prepare offerings of food and money to satisfy the ghosts’ hunger, make them happy, and prevent them from causing havoc amongst humankind. In Malaysia and Singapore, Chinese communities set up musical stages and host performances, making sure to always leave the front row empty for the honored guests – the hungry ghosts. Under the full moon, people light lotus-shaped water lanterns and float them on lakes, rivers, and pools, in order to provide light for lost souls to find their way safely back into the afterlife.

Despite the macabre atmosphere of the event, the Hungry Ghosts Festival actually originated as a harvest festival during the Han Dynasty, during which farmers would pray to their ancestors and report their autumn harvest to them. Due to Taoist and Buddhist influences, folk beliefs combined with religious ceremonies to form the Hungry Ghost Festival. In Japan, which also had Buddhist influences, this festival is celebrated as the Obon festival. Japanese communities wear yukata, eat and make merry at carnivals, and perform the Obon dance.

In North America, Native American tribes also saw the Full Sturgeon Moon as signifying a time of bountiful harvest. The Cherokee tribes called it the Full Fruit Moon, and many other First Nation tribes referred to it as the Black Berries Moon. The Sioux called it the Moon When All Things Ripen. The Paint Clans, which were known for their medicinal prowess, would harvest herbs and medicines, while the Wild Potato tribes would forage for food. Naturally, they would also catch a lot of sturgeon. You, on the other hand, may want to celebrate the Full Sturgeon Moon by telling your friends about the importance of saving its critically endangered namesake.

August 2022 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

Gardening by the Moon Zodiac Sign (Element) – Legend

Biodynamic Calendar – Icon Legend
	Leaf days (Water Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants from which the intention is to use Leaves and Stems. Ex: Cabbage, Salads, Lettuce, Spinach, Green onions, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Celeriac. Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days). Harvesting in Leaf days is not recommended (products start decomposing in a shorter time). Beekeeping: Working with the hive is not recommended in Leaf days.
	Fruit days (Fire Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants that produce Fruits and Seeds. Ex: Cherry, Strawberry, Tomato, Pea, Bean, Corn, Pumpkin, Nut, Cereal, Courgette. Harvesting in Fruit days allows fruits and seeds to have a better storage quality. Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days). Beekeeping: Fruit days stimulate the collection of nectar. Bees are also supposed to be more gentle these days.
	Root days (Earth Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate Root plants and Root vegetables. Ex: Carrot, Turnip, but also Potato, Beet-root, Garlic, Onion, Leek. Crop should be stored in Root days. Beekeeping: Bees should be encouraged to build more comb.
	Flower days (Air Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant, cultivate and harvest Flower plants or herbs used for medicinal purposes. Flowers, if cut in these days, have a more intense scent and endure longer. Leaf plants should be harvested in these Flower days. Beekeeping: Flower days stimulate brood activity and colony development. Bees are also supposed to be more gentle these days.

August 2022 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions after 6 PM EDT today (3 PM to 9:15 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Keep an eye on your money today. Likewise, keep an eye on your possessions to avoid theft, damage or loss with your things. Matters related to your personal wealth and assets are volatile today. (Anything could happen.) Guard against impulse shopping, particularly during the Moon Alert. Keep your receipts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You feel rebellious! This is why you’re restless, impatient and determined to take matters into your own hands. You don’t want to wait for permission, or for anyone else to catch up to you. You’ve decided it’s time to act, and you’re going to do it. (Be smart: Think twice.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you feel vaguely restless; but you’re keen to talk to others and enlighten people about your ideas. You might also want to study and learn something new. However, some kind of unexpected event taking place behind the scenes will affect you, and possibly throw your plans off kilter.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Something unexpected or sudden will take place in your relations with friends, classes and groups today. Someone might say or do something unusual, which in turn, sends everything in a new direction. You might suddenly encounter someone who is different. Possibly, a friendship will blow up.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Tread carefully when dealing with parents, bosses and the police today because you feel rebellious, even reckless. This means you want to take matters into your own hands and do exactly what you want to do. You want to run the show. Quite likely, someone will object. Easy does it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Travel plans will change today. They might be cancelled or delayed; or in turn, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. You might also meet someone from another culture or a different country who has surprising news.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something unexpected could impact banking details or something to do with inheritances or shared property, which means you have to be on top of things. Check bank accounts. Check agreements you have with others about debt or shared property. Be in the know.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be patient with partners, spouses and close friends today because anything could happen. They might be angry about something or something might trigger a sudden argument? Someone might demand more freedom or a different arrangement? It’s a crapshoot!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your routine will be interrupted today, almost certainly. Staff shortages, power outages, late deliveries, mixed-up messages and equipment breakdowns are just some reasons your plans could go south in a New York minute. Therefore, give yourself extra time so that you can cope with the unexpected.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Parents: Please know that this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Therefore, be vigilant. Meanwhile, social plans will change today. You might receive an unexpected invitation? Or conversely, plans to go out to an entertaining event will be delayed or cancelled. Bummer.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. At least, have some food and drink in the fridge so you can cope with the unexpected. (Food and drink are always comforting.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Of course, nothing has to happen; however, if you are distracted because you are aggravated or caught off guard – then you are at a disadvantage. Therefore, stay mindful and be aware.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Adrian Dunbar (1958) shares your birthday today. You are a natural leader who is warm and friendly. In fact, frequently, others will look to you for help and guidance. You enjoy your creature comforts. This year is about service to others, especially family. This means it’s important to take care of yourself. Time for a makeover?
