Spell for Sunday – Leaf Spell for Release

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY COROSPONDENCES AND SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Leaf Spell for Release

Take a walk in nature and reflect on what no longer serves you. Collect a leaf and use it to cast this spell to let go pain and the past so you can summon peace and restore your sense of inner harmony.

I love casting this spell in fall, especially around the fall harvest festival known as Mabon. The fall is a wonderfully transformative time. As the leaves begin to change color and drop to the ground, we are reminded that sometimes we need to let go in order to change.

ITEMS NEEDED

  • leaf

  • ziploc bag

  • chopstick or something similar

STEPS

1. Go for a walk outside and reflect on what you would like to let go of

2. Collect a newly fallen leaf

3. Place the leaf in a ziploc bag and use the chopstick to “write” the thing you want to let go of on the leaf. Press on the leaf through the ziploc bag firmly enough to see the marks on the leaf, but be careful not to tear the leaf.

4. Take the leaf outside. Focus on releasing what no longer serves you and recite the incantation below. Let go of the leaf and release it back to nature.

“The past I leave with this leaf,

let go of pain and summon peace”

September 10, 2023 Current Moon Phase and Northern Hemisphere’s Planetary Positions 05

Current Moon Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the September 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on September 10 has an illumination of 18%. 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 September 10 the Moon is 25.43 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.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, September 10 to Saturday, September 16, 2023

All Signs

This week, during Thursday’s Solar eclipse, the Sun will line up with unpredictable Uranus, triggering sudden new opportunities that spring up out of nowhere! This should be good news! But here’s the catch. Right now, Mercury is retrograde, which means it’s a bad time to initiate new projects. So, how to handle this? Analyze what is happening. If this is truly a new opportunity, then do your homework and wait until Friday the 15th to act because Mercury goes direct that day. Perhaps a new opportunity will present itself in the context of what you’re already doing? Then you can act! Nevertheless, purchases of transportation, computers and cell phones should wait until the shadow is over on Sept 30. (Sigh.) Life is tough. And I’m not a ballerina and I never had a pony.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Keep your eyes peeled this week because unexpected opportunities will come to you, probably late in the week. They will be related to your job, your earnings, cash flow, wealth, assets or your belongings. Very likely, this is a chance to boost your earnings or get a better paying job. Almost certainly, you will get richer with whatever presents itself. However, the opportunity that arises will have a short window of time, so you will have to act fast! Read All Signs above for some of the nuances about if you can act right away or not. Fortunately, if it’s related to setting something new in motion, even a job, if you wait until Friday, when Mercury goes direct, it should be okay. Meanwhile, great week to party!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week will lead to some exciting discoveries and occurrences for you, especially as the week wears on. You might receive a surprising invitation. You might have a chance to go on a vacation. Might receive an offer related to the entertainment world, show business or the arts. It might also be an opportunity to explore something in the hospitality industry. Others will explore something related to the care and education of children or something surprising related to one of your own kids. Romance is also another area full of surprises. Love at first sight might happen for some of you. Do know whatever happens will have a short window of opportunity, so if you need to act – act quickly!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is an exciting week for you because there’s been a lot going on at home and with family, especially with family members you haven’t seen for a while. No doubt, people have been camped out on your doorstep, sleeping on your sofa and eating out of your fridge. But many of you have been able to make some headway with home repairs, hopefully, with the help of family members. As this week progresses, expect some surprises related to family or related to your home. Quite likely, they will be opportunities to buy something high tech, make a modern improvement, buy modern art or do something you didn’t expect – fresh and different! Read All Signs above. Do your homework.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This week has a roller coaster aspect to it because unexpected events will impact your daily pace and your daily routine, especially toward the end of the week. In the latter part of the week, surprise opportunities to meet new faces, see new places and explore new ideas will suddenly present themselves. This could be an offer to go to school, take a course, write a book, publish a book or travel with a friend or even a group. Whatever happens might make you feel younger and more excited about life. Be bold and get ready to explore something fresh! You’ll have to act quickly because your window of opportunity will be brief.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Get ready for a surprise (especially in the last half of the week) that affects your earnings, your wealth, your salary and your assets. It might be a chance for you to earn money in a new way? It might be a new job? You might buy something new that is unusual or high tech? You might experience something that gives you an increased profile in the world – more self-respect or status. “I’m somebody!” Whatever happens will require a swift decision because this window of opportunity is brief. Get ready because you can’t dally. (Very likely, whatever it is will be of benefit to you.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

When the Solar eclipse takes place in your sign (oh yes) on Thursday, it will also line up with unpredictable Uranus, triggering unexpected opportunities for you! This could be an opportunity to suddenly travel somewhere? You might suddenly entertain a move or think about relocating. You might wonder about a makeover? You might meet someone new who is unusual? You might decide to do something you never thought you would do before but it will expand your world and probably make you feel younger and excited. Stay light on your feet and mentally flexible so that you can make the most of this moment. Because this window of opportunity will be brief – you’ll have to act fast.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Most signs will have something unexpected, perhaps exciting that occurs in their life this week. However, for you, whatever happens will occur in a private way, perhaps in your inner world? It might be a shift in your inner awareness of a belief system, or you might feel a sudden spiritual connection with a group. It could be a private “Ah ha!” moment of realization or a revelation. Whatever it is will give you more hope in yourself and make you feel younger and more adventurous about life. You will feel that you want to do the best that you can do with the time that is left to you. Meanwhile this is a popular week! Enjoy the company of friends, especially artistic people. Carpe diem!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This will be an interesting week for you because for starters, it’s a popular time for you. You might be involved with younger people more than usual, especially people you know from your past. You make a wonderful impression on everyone, especially bosses and authority figures who see you as attractive and charming. However, towards the end of the week, you might meet someone new and unusual. Or someone you already know might suggest something that is kind of mind blowing to you. Whatever happens will shift you. You will see things with new eyes. You might see new possibilities, which in turn encourage you to embrace new goals. Be open to whatever happens.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The Sun and Mercury retrograde are at high noon in your chart, which encourages encounters with authority figures you haven’t seen for a while. Travel for pleasure still appeals; while some of you are physically active and competitive with sports and groups of people. Towards the end of this week, when the Solar eclipse occurs, it will happen at the top of your chart, which means something surprising and unexpected might be revealed to you. This could come to you through a boss or someone in authority. It might even push you into a new direction? Keep an open mind so that you can receive whatever this “message” is! (Write if you get work.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have the promise of an exciting week ahead because there’s a lot going for you right now. For starters, you’re pumped with ambition and energy right so you are ready to make things happen! Meanwhile, others are supportive to you. You might receive money or practical help from someone. (In fact, you might be having a mad, passionate romance with someone.) However, what is exciting and promising for you is that toward the end of the week, the Solar eclipse will release unexpected opportunities to travel, to get further education or training, or achieve something exciting related to the law, medicine or publishing. Whatever it is will expand your world!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Stay on your toes because this week, especially later this week, something surprising and unusual will impact your wealth, your assets, your debt or your financial arrangement with someone, especially a partner or spouse. You might suddenly receive an inheritance? Money or favours might come to you? It is possible that instead of a windfall it’s not good news – but the likelihood is that it is something pleasant that pleases you. It could be an offer to share something with someone? Whatever it is – please be aware of the fact that this window of opportunity will be brief, which means you have to act fast. Keep that in mind. You snooze – you lose.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

In some way, shape or form, your friendships, partnerships and close relationships might undergo a big change this week. This is because the Solar eclipse on Thursday is taking place directly opposite your sign, which traditionally would mean this is your chance to think about what you can do to improve your closest relationships. However, at the same time, wild, unpredictable Uranus is in the picture triggering something sudden and unusual! A partner or close friend might do or say something you least expect? Or you might be introduced to someone; or you might meet someone who is unusual who changes your life? Whatever happens, will happen quickly?
