In pop culture, the witch has been portrayed as a benevolent, nose-twitching suburban housewife; an awkward teenager learning to control her powers and a trio of charmed sisters battling the forces of evil. The real history of witches, however, is dark and, often for the witches, deadly.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions after 7 PM EDT today (4 PM PDT). The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Avoid power plays about money or something to do with your possessions or something that you own. Or perhaps you’ll face power plays related to inheritances, or getting your share of something, or issues to do with shared property. Tomorrow’s Full Moon will bring this to a head.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you might feel a buildup of energy before tomorrow’s Full Moon, which takes place opposite your sign. (A doozy.) This means you will likely feel an increasing tension when dealing with partners and close friends, as well as bosses and authority figures. Steady as she goes.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Fortunately, relations with friends and groups have been friendly lately because Venus is in this part of your chart. In fact, you’ve been seeing people from your past, which is a fun way to catch up on old gossip and history. Tread carefully today because tension is building up before tomorrow’s Full Moon.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Be patient with friends or members of groups today because everyone can feel the tension building up today before tomorrow’s Full Moon, which is a particularly stressful Full Moon. (Ouch.) Naturally, because the Moon is your ruler, you will feel this. Keep things light. Be courteous.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Fasten your seatbelt because today and tomorrow are a bit rough because tomorrow’s Full Moon is really at odds with your sign. This is why today, you might feel tension building up with bosses, parents, family members, partners and close friends. Yikes. Run away!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Life has been challenging lately because your ruler Mercury has been retrograde. Fortunately, on Thursday, Mercury stops being retrograde, which will improve things considerably for you. Meanwhile, avoid heated discussions and power plays about politics and religion. Stay chill.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You begin this week with some strain about money, earnings, cash flow, shared property and dealing with your kids or the cost of social occasions and vacations. All of this is in the mix and it’s a crunchy mix. Fear not after the Full Moon peaks tomorrow; by Wednesday, things will get easier.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

No doubt you feel a bit of stress today because tomorrow the Full Moon is in your sign. This means that even today, you will start to feel a buildup of some tension dealing with partners and close friends, and possibly family members as well. You’re caught between a rock and a hard place.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Avoid power struggles today, which might crop up, especially with people at work or issues about a parent, or even matters that are related to your health. People are touchy today! That’s because there’s a heavy-duty Full Moon happening tomorrow. (This is why the tension is already palpable today.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Romantic partners must be patient with each other today and tomorrow. Likewise, parents should be patient with their kids, especially about financial matters, because people are on edge today due to the tension building up before tomorrow’s Full Moon. Easy does it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will feel the tension of tomorrow’s Full Moon the most. In fact, you will feel this tension building up today. Your best recourse is to be patient with yourself and others. Avoid arguments with parents and bosses. Stay friendly and be courteous.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because tension associated with tomorrow’s Full Moon could lead to an accident-prone situation for your sign. This could happen simply because you’re emotional or distracted for some reason.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Cassidy Freeman (1982) shares your birthday today. You admire quality – a great job, an excellent car or quality craftsmanship. You’re warm and friendly; plus you inspire others. Take time this year to reflect or renew your spiritual beliefs or explore practices such as meditation, prayer or ideas that promote a better understanding of who you are.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are expansive in a lot of areas in your life but at the same time you don’t seem to maintain a straight or normal line in these well wanted developments of yours.

What you need to understand is that, the more you are trying to skip stages and reach conclusions faster than you should, the more difficult it’s going to be.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Eloquence is going to be your main weapon today but at the same time there might be some things you are overlooking so I would advise you to stick closer to someone who is careful about details.

They might help you get out of a sensible situation or they might show you another path you didn’t see, all to interesting results.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You seem to be working hard toward gaining a little bit more reputation or popularity in your area of choice and some natives are falling exactly on the right path, charming people one step at a time.

However, there might be others that are struggling because they cannot really find their right audience and this might disappoint them for a while until they figure things out.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are going to have to be very careful with the way you are planning your activities this Monday, especially those in which you are somewhat connected to others.

It is also going to be very difficult to manage if your intentions are not all pure because you won’t really be able to manipulate things in the direction you would like to.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The word of advice for you today would be not to commit to anything you aren’t really sure about and to censor as much as you can from those controlling tendencies you sometimes have.

There might be some things you can fix or ameliorate but there are also many others that are independent of your will and that you can’t program.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You need to get going and start working for once or otherwise all those prospects you are so happily waiting for are going to make themselves delayed even more than they already are or even more than you would like them to.

Also, make sure you don’t promise something that you cannot deliver because it will really impact your reputation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This Monday is going to bring you a totally different array of feelings to experience and for some natives even things are going to go as far as to change their opinions on several things or determine them to take actions they never thought they would.

This might also be a great day to communicate openly and show exactly what you want.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The current disposition is offering you a lot of fun occasions to relax but you will still have to make room in your life for them.

In regard to your job, you either postpone a series of tasks and assume the risk of them catching up with you eventually or you gather all your focus and get over with them a lot faster than you would in general.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It seems that this Monday is going to require a lot of adaptability from you as some sort of changing circumstances are going to hit you right where it hurts you more.

So have some time with yourself and think of the areas in your life that are sensible for you at the moment and think of what defines stability in them so you can be somewhat prepared for what is next.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Dreams and a lot of things that you considered long buried in your mind and soul are going to be somewhat surfaced today and a whole surge of emotions is going to take hold of you.

You can try to avoid them and risk being absent minded all day or you can embrace them, make this some sort of nostalgic day and remember what needs to be remembered.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is going to be a tricky disposition to navigate for you as it seems some of your fears might come true or at least some sort of secret or something you’ve been trying to keep hidden threatens to surface.

It is entirely up to you whether you spend your day worrying incessantly or try to accept that those are still things that represent you and accept them.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s going to be a bit of a difficult day today with all the tasks you might have to solve but also with your mind wondering somewhere else.

This is a particularly feminine stone and often appears in response to questions about women’s issues. The Moon rune is a messenger.

Duir/Dair

A representation of the oak tree, Duir corresponds to the letter D and is associated with strength, stability, and growth. The term duir also means door, so the oak groves are believed to be places where the sky world, the earth, and the otherworld meet. It’s believed that the symbol enables one to see the invisible, as well as things hidden from view at present.

To the druids, every part of the oak was sacred and used in ritual and divination. In fact, the term druid, means one with the wisdom of the oak. The oak tree is associated with the ancient tradition of the oak king, the fertility god of the green world and is a symbol of male sovereignty.
