Moon Alert

Caution! Avoid shopping or important decisions from 10 AM to 5 PM EDT today (7 AM to 2 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Most of today is a Moon Alert (see above.) Postpone important decisions until tomorrow. Likewise, during the Moon Alert today, restrict spending money to food and gas. Don’t volunteer for anything and don’t make promises you can’t keep.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you might go overboard with plans to travel or dealing with authority figures. You might feel intensely about something. Meanwhile, most of this day is a Moon Alert, which means tread carefully! Avoid important decisions and shopping (except for food and gas.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might be tempted to give away the farm today. If you’re focused on how to divide something, or discussing shared property or an inheritance – be careful! Most of this day is a Moon Alert. (See above.) A poor time for important decisions, especially about wealth.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You continue to make an excellent impression on others; however, be careful when dealing with partners and close friends today because you might promise more than you can deliver. Because most of this day is a Moon Alert (see above) it’s a poor day for important decisions or shopping.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful about what you agree to today, especially with work colleagues. It’s easy to go out on a limb. The fact is that much of today is a Moon Alert (see above). Don’t make promises you can’t keep. Don’t volunteer for anything. Easy does it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might have strong feelings about something today, which is why you will be tempted to go overboard. Instead, check yourself. Don’t do it. Most of this day is a Moon Alert (see above). Bad time for important decisions. Don’t waste time trying to get others to agree with you. Chill out.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Discussions with family members or about issues related to your home might be intense today. You might feel strongly about making a decision or taking something in a new direction. Bad idea. Most of this day is a Moon Alert. Be smart and wait until the alert is over.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you might be raring to go! However, because most of today is a Moon Alert, it will be wise to check yourself and pull in your reins. Avoid important decisions during the Moon Alert. Don’t jump into anything.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you have a strong focus on money, cash flow, earnings or something to do with a possession. However, because it’s a Moon Alert for most of this day, it’s a poor day for financial matters. Restrict spending to food and gas during the Moon Alert. (See above.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today begins with the Moon in your sign, which can heighten your feelings about issues. Later in the day, you might have strong feelings related to matters about money or anything that’s important to you. However, most of today is a Moon Alert. Avoid making decisions then. Ditto for shopping.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a tricky day. In one way, you want to stand back and watch it all happen. Nevertheless, you won’t be able to do this because you’ll get sucked in. Furthermore, you might feel intensely about something. (Who knew?) Check the times of the Moon Alert. (See above)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Stay mellow when dealing with friends and groups today. Don’t volunteer for anything. Ideally, watch from the sidelines. For most of this day, there’s a Moon Alert, which means it’s bad time for decisions or spending money.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Allison Williams (1988) shares your birthday today. You are confident and goal oriented. You keep your wits about you in the midst of chaos. Trust in your success. Service to others, especially family will be a theme this year. Therefore, take care of yourself so that you can be of support to others. Time for all makeover?

This phase occurs roughly 3 weeks after the New Moon when the Moon is three quarter of the way through it’s orbit around the earth. If you live in the northern hemisphere the Moons left side will be illuminated and the right side will be dark.

Also called a Third Quarter phase, it will rise around midnight on the eastern horizon and set in the west around noon the next day. In the days following the Third Quarter Phase the Moon’s illumination will decrees each day until the New Moon.

I am Taking A Partial Day Off Today so Some Regular Posts Will be Missing and Information About Life in The Craft Magazine

Morning Wiccan Prayer Pagan Daily Spell for Gratitude

GOOD MORNING, dear Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests

I woke up with a glorious feeling the birds singing and a little later Ra out in his full, beautiful glory this morning knowing that the biggest stressors in my life are a thing in the past. First night in I cannot remember when I did not have even a inkling of a nightmare from PSTD. I can now move forward with letting go of the numerous abusive, in one way or another, relationships behind me and work to come to truly believe I did not cause them. To be fair I did choose to stay in those relationships so part of the reason I deal with PSTD does land on my shoulders. Today I awoke at 4:30 AM CDT because I had fell asleep about 7 PM CDT last night because I really crashed, again the first time in a very long time, from adrenaline leaving my body which means my fibromyalgia symptoms are better than they have been in many of years.

So, I decided I deserve a day of celebrating that fact that my new life with Big Dawg, my fiancée, can really and truly begin! It is still going to take me some time to fully appreciate and feel deserving of a man who loves me unconditionally, who is willing to watch out for my physical safety and protect me from things I cannot protect myself from. If this sounds un feministic so, be it but it is how I feel. I can give him my whole heart in love, companionship, and everything that goes with it without worrying that it is just a facade to keep me being his maid, lover, dog walker, ectara. He may not be a witch or pagan but he fully supports my choice of spiritual path as I do his as a Christian. We live in a small 4 room home which doesn’t afford me having a special room set aside to work and practice my magickal and spiritual path but when I am doing something with my students like our monthly chat and Sabbath gatherings or even if it is just a phone call he will go into the bedroom and shut the door. A little insider info he has done private rituals and in our own way we celebrate the Sabbaths.

Anyway, about today’s regular and extra posts. I will be doing horoscopes (BTW April 12th’s birthday horoscope is up now on the 12th), Moon phase, planetary positions, correspondences, spell, and divination. The divination post will be tarot cards, rune, witches rune, and ogham is because I am curious what these are saying to me as well as you today. No early Friday posts will be up. Tomorrow I will be going back to me regular posting schedule. I apologize to my southern hemisphere readers that so much information is being skipped over or coming up to late to maybe of no use to you for yesterday,  today, and tomorrow. YOur Saturday information will be available on your Saturday morning.

The next two issues of Life in The Craft magazine will be posted on WOTC instead of sending them via an email. Why, you may be asking yourself? Well, I want more than a hand full of people to see what the magazine offers. I am also going to go to 4 times a year issues covering the seasons and whatever Sabbaths full in it. The cost per issues will be $4.00 USD if paid monthly. If you choose to pay for a yearly subscription, it will be $14.00 USD. There will be no free issues of the quarterly magazine that is why I am putting the Beltane/Samhain and Litha/Yule issues up on WOTC. Every quarterly issue will cover the Northern and Southern Hemisphere’s Sabbats along with other topics. If you have questions, would like to submit an original article for consideration or ideas for future issues or creative criticism please write to me at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com
