24 July 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for July 24th, 2024 is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 18.17 days old and 90.16% illuminated with a tilt of -30.246°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 364,935.28 km and the moon sign is Pisces.

The Moon phase for July 24th, 2024 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 5:30 AM to 9:45 AM EDT today (2:30 AM to 6:45 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today your interests are best served by working alone or behind the scenes because something might upset you that makes you end up doing a slow boil. Grrr. This means even though you’re annoyed, you feel you can’t say anything. (So frustrating.) Nevertheless, trust your gut instincts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Difficulties with a friend or a group could arise today. This might be due to competition or jealousy. Be careful of sharing information with someone in case they later use it as ammunition against you. Instead, focus on making your home look more attractive.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be patient when dealing with authority figures today like parents, bosses, VIPs and the police. Not only might you regret it if you get into a hotheaded dispute, this quarrel will likely be public. This is because people notice you more than usual today. Be aware of this.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Avoid controversial subjects today because people are looking for a fight, especially this morning. You don’t need this. Instead, focus on financial matters and money issues. You have moneymaking ideas; plus, you’re interested in purchasing something pretty.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might have some clashes with someone about shared property, taxes, debt or inheritances today. There will definitely be a difference of opinion about how something is shared or divided. (Probably, this person is a friend or a member of a group.) Make sure you do your homework and have your facts.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Challenging conversations with authority figures, especially parents, bosses and the police, might occur today, especially this morning. If possible, avoid these because some fights are just not worth it. Right now, you benefit from keeping your head down and your powder dry.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Issues about politics, religion, travel or foreign countries are just some reasons you might have a squabble at work today. You might encounter cultural differences that require creative thinking? Difficulties regarding a pet might also arise. Disputes might also be health-related. Whatever it is, keep your cool.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Minor quarrels with your kids or a romantic partner might arise today about how to share something. Or perhaps, it’s about the division of labour? Or it might be about how expenses are shared. These are touchy subjects but they have to be addressed. Defend your best interests.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Make an extra effort to be patient with family members today to avoid arguments. These challenges might take place with a partner or a spouse, or another family member. Timing is everything. Sometimes it’s wise to pick and choose your fights – you know this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day. An accident doesn’t have to happen; however, you might be annoyed with someone and therefore, distracted. Quarrels with daily contacts are likely today. Stay chill – for your own benefit.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Money squabbles, especially with your kids or a romantic partner might arise today. Or there could be disputes about paying something like a restaurant tab or something related to the arts, sports, social outings or even the cost of raising children. These issues are often difficult to resolve.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign, and it’s at odds with fiery Mars. This can lead to emotional, volatile outbreaks. It’s easy to be quarrelsome with others or to get upset and lose your temper. The fact is many people will be irritable, impulsive and self-indulgent today. (Yikes! Run for cover.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Woody Harrelson (1961) shares your birthday today. You are warm, sympathetic, generous and selfless. You are intelligent and have a gift for helping others. This is a slower paced year. It’s time to rest and rejuvenate yourself. Surround yourself with people who have your back. Focus on relationships that bring you happiness.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are kind of enjoying personal freedom too much and becoming increasingly selfish. You tend to promise yourself that the next day will be different but very little happens.

This is not necessarily the time for changes but at least it could be a time of acknowledging what you do wrong and of finding solutions.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The current disposition prompts you to leave arguments aside and just go by the flow and although it is usually very difficult for you to do that, this time you will be much more open about this and even do things like this.

At the same time, you might feel a bit disappointed at the acknowledgment of someone else’s success.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Everyone around you have sensed the stress you are going through but this doesn’t mean you can take advantage of this and play everyone in order to obtain what you want.

They will soon get suspicious and this will end, exactly when you least expect it plus it deteriorates the good relationships that you have build around you.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Don’t count on promises and things that need to be done by other people because it will take ages before these come true.

Rather mind your own interest and do what you can do and leave the rest for later without getting tangled in other activities. You are quite passionate about certain things and about people so why not use that.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Quite an emotional day ahead and this is why you might wear gloves in your behavior with others but as well with yourself.

You are very generous and people are starting to feel this and you are kind of being taken advantage of. Be careful what connections you are breeding now because it will be difficult to get away from them later.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This Tuesday you tend to think only of your rights and what is meant for you and very little of your obligations and of what people are expecting from you.

Therefore you are going to give a lot of attitude around you, even to people who don’t deserve this kind of behavior from you. Try to temper yourself because this is no way to interact.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The stars have some plans for you and although they are good, you are so stubborn that you do the exact opposite and just defy any intuition or sense you may have left.

If you don’t trust yourself with what is going on now you might as well go and sit in a corner because very little will change and you won’t gain anything.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Those around you seem to be very supportive and seem to appreciate you for who you are but you tend to only be suspicious of their behavior instead of enjoying all the love outpouring headed for you.

You lack some sort of spark to make you feel good about yourself and you are easy to see negative things that aren’t even there.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

When it comes to love you will need a lot of convincing before you make any kind of move and even let your significant other do all the work and take all the risks.

You prefer this even though it might mean you lose on some things and this is not because you are lazy but because you are quite afraid that you might get hurt.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The current disposition is set to transform your home in a retreat space, a comfortable gathering space and as well the space where you can be yourself.

It isn’t like you will have to change or buy something, it is more a question of feeling and the way you perceive what you have around you, as well as of your need to spend some time alone.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a good time to go out, maybe even make some future plans of traveling with your friends or similar.

Your partner might be a bit jealous about you being all of a sudden so sociable and spending so much time with your friends but they will soon understand that there is no harm into that. However, you also have to prove you are behaving yourself.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It might not be such a bad idea for you to go shopping and buy some things for the home and please do count on your sense and intuition because they will definitely guide you towards the right choices for you.

This will help you create a more comfortable space at home and even get you more in tune to how you are in general feeling.

WOTC Extra – A Few Image Spells Just for You c. 2015

To Be Free of Something Negative

Draw an outline of yourself in the soil. Next, over it draw a symbol representing that which you wish to be free of.

Draw this symbol over the image. Gaze at it, see the symbol as part of yourself, as you are now.

Then, with careful strokes, completely erase the symbol with your fingertips. Make sure you don’t damage your original outline, however, if this happens, redraw immediately. Now gaze at the new you, free of the negative aspect and ready to start again with a cleaner slate.

Repeat every day for seven days.

Apple images

Image magic often employs apples. With a sharp knife, carve in the peel of a red apple a picture of your need. Expose the yellowish-white flesh behind the peel with your carving so that the symbol is clearly visible. This may take some practice.

Now, after gazing at the symbol for a few minutes, eat the apple down to the core. Save the seeds and plant them, if you wish. As the symbol has become part of you physically, so too shall what it represents.

This can be used to bring anything to you.

An image love charm

This and similar image spells are most popular today, as they have been for ages.

Carve, sew, or otherwise construct an image of yourself at your finest, physically speaking. Pour into it all your good points, as well as your bad. Embody the image with your spirit, your life-force, your total being. When you look at its face (however crude or unfinished it may seem to be) see your own face.

When finished, put in a safe place. Next, of the same material, fashion an image of your ideal love. This shouldn’t be a specific person, of course, but a composite of everything you are looking for in a man or woman. Though you are only fashioning its outline or rough features, implant in it physical, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and other qualities; habits and goals in life; any particulars that appeal or are important to you.

When both images are finished, take a pink or red thread or cord and tie them loosely together. Place them in a spot where they will not be disturbed for several weeks, but not in a box or other constricting place. Someone will come to you, and after that, it will be up to the two of you.

Spells of this nature draw many people to you, and one or two of these might become good friends. A more personal relationship might develop out of one of these, which may eventually lead to love.

If it does but the relationship ends, unbind the images, carefully dismantle the one of the perfect love, and begin anew.

The same is true if you find no lover, but for this wait at least three months.

A spell of this type doesn’t force the person you meet to fall in love with you; it simply expands your circle of friends. Any person you meet will be under no magickal pressure or force to love you; that you will have to do on your own.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The next few weeks will be full of opportunities for recreational diversions and fun amusing times. Enjoy playful activities with children. Relationships will be lighter. The arts, sports events and romance will be blessed!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Home, family and your private life will be your main focus in the next few weeks. This is why you’re happy to stay at home right now and relax among familiar surroundings. Some of you will be more involved than usual with a parent. This is a good time to reflect on the past.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The pace of your days is starting to accelerate! Get ready for a busy time ahead because of increased interactions with siblings, relatives, neighbours and friends. Short trips are likely. This is a good time to tell others exactly how you feel about something.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

“Show me the money!” Today your attention turns to your relationship to your wealth, your earnings, your belongings and your assets. In fact, this will be a strong interest for you in the next few weeks. You might also buy something kind of snazzy that you want to show off.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Sun enters your sign to stay for the next four weeks. This happens once a year. This means it’s your turn to recharge your batteries and energize yourself! You will attract people and favourable situations to you. Enjoy this powerful time!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You will feel a stronger need now to be more private, which is why you might choose to work alone or behind the scenes today and in the next few weeks. Because your personal year is coming to an end, use the next few weeks to contemplate what you want for your new year ahead (birthday to birthday).

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your popularity will increase in the next few weeks – definitely! Among your friends, strive to establish who you are. Socialize extensively but also scrutinize your friends. Are these your people? This is a good time for team efforts.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The Sun will be at the top of your chart for the next four weeks. This is something that happens only once a year. When it occurs, it symbolizes that you are thrust in a flattering spotlight. People will admire you. This is why you might be given increased responsibilities.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Good news! You are the traveller of the zodiac and in the next four weeks, opportunities to travel might suddenly drop in your lap. This is also a great time to take up a new course of study, a new hobby or any intellectual discipline. You might also be concerned with the law.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Beginning today, for the next four weeks, you will have a stronger desire to experience life at a feeling level – not just an intellectual level. You might also encounter someone who produces some psychological self-inquiry within you. (Pretty heady stuff.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be sitting opposite your sign making you focused more than usual on close friendships, partnerships and marriages. You will have greater objectivity that allows you to see how to improve these relationships. (You will also need more sleep.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your desire to work and be productive is growing and will continue to grow in the next few weeks. Make an effort to accomplish as much as possible in the most efficient and effective way. This will please you and give you a strong sense of satisfaction and reward.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, musician Don Henley (1947) shares your birthday today. You have a sharp intellect. You are action oriented and like to make progress at whatever you’re doing. This is the beginning of a fresh nine-year cycle for you. It’s time to take action, initiative and define your goals. What you do now will benefit you in the future.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are flying through your tasks today but this doesn’t necessarily mean you are particularly productive with them. It’s more like you just deal with everything really quick so you can get the chance to be lazy.

Which is bad because if you are to rush into things, better do this with a good reason in mind, maybe something for your own development.

You can also read this special Aries Daily Horoscope.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

In terms of communication you might be asked to provide some answers today, something that you might find a bit rushed or something you have yet to think of.

Meanwhile you can also count on those around you to guide you but you can’t count on them to provide you with the answer so everything will still be your work.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Having to make an important choice today will surely derail you a bit from whatever else work you got planned but maybe you should think twice about your priorities and decide what is really important for you.

Other than that, you tend to rely too much on your comfort zone and prefer to stick to known places and people.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

No matter how hard it may seem, maybe it’s time to reconsider your strategy professionally speaking and to finally adopt the changes and the harsh cuts you have been thinking about for so much time.

You won’t benefit from too much support from those dear to you but given this transformation disposition that you are going through, the transition should not be that difficult.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might want to postpone some decision making you have had prepared for this beginning of the week for later on in the week so you can properly account for the changes that are soon to take place.

Be patient and don’t rush into anything because although this stagnation might get on your nerves it is much better than other possible troubles.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Given the current disposition, not only that you have to guard your mouth but maybe you should do so with your partner as well as they will tend to take your place and you will still be considered the head of all trouble.

However, the horizon does look good for you in terms of connections; it’s just that you will have to let the others do the talking.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Some money troubles in paradise apparently, some that you can’t really explain and it will probably take you a few days to regroup from this.

It is good however that you figured things and this is the first step towards changing something. Unfortunately your family might not be that understanding and they might start becoming a lot more demanding than usual.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might want to steer clear from old habits and temptations and just mind your own business. At the same time make sure you have an impeccable image in the society and that you leave very little space for any interpretations in regard to your life.

Don’t pretend you are something that you are not because imposture will be easy to spot.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Maybe some travel opportunities ahead for the luckiest natives or maybe you need to count on your own forces and what you build in order to obtain something.

So don’t sit hanging while everyone else gets their share but get in there and do your things. At the same time you need not count on the promises of those around.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Some things might seem a bit contradictory at the beginning of this week but nothing to really trouble yourself about.

You can be one step in advance to all the things that are bothering you with just a little bit more patience but at the same time, maybe you need some sort of retreat somewhere away from the city to get you going.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you might get the chance to prevent something from happening, it might not be something too important or it might be something which, if would have happened, would have blocked your plans for a while.

So keep your eyes open on everything that is going on around you but try not to overreact as well and be too suspicious.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Given the current disposition it seems that you are quite blocked in your endeavors and you have no other choice than to trust your partner and stand by them and their decision without worrying that much about how they are going to influence you.

But do count the things you are giving up because you shouldn’t compromise too much either.

Let’s Talk Witch – Why Witches and Wiccans Cast Spells? c. 2015

Why Witches and Wiccans Cast Spells?

Spellcasting certainly isn’t the sole reason for practicing Wicca, but it dovetails nicely with your spiritual practice. Wiccans are concerned with improving ourselves and, by extension, improving the world. Crafting and casting spells help in both of these areas. Spells offer a method for actively dealing with situations in life that require an additional boost of energy, and also offer an opportunity to maintain or restore balance. Spells are catalysts for change.

When a Wiccan casts a spell, a deity is very often brought into that method of powering change. This creates an interesting form of spiritual spellcraft that merges the basic spell and an act of prayer. Wiccan spellcraft, like other forms of religious spellcraft, adds a ritual dimension to spells, making it much more than simple witchcraft.

The very processes of crafting and casting spells teach you the basics of energy work—whether you realize it or not. Spells teach you how energy moves, how you can harness and handle it, and how you can direct it to affect various areas of your life. Whereas rituals offer you the opportunity to tap into the energy around you to re-attune yourself on a regular basis, spells offer you the opportunity to touch the web of energy that connects those living and organic things day by day, and to see how touching it in a slightly different place produces a slightly different effect.

The 13 Principles of Wiccan Belief

In the 1970s in the United States, a coalition of Wiccan groups banded together and set to put and end to misconceptions about Wicca. For too long, they thought, Wicca had been subject to uninformed stereotypes, stigma, and lack of proper recognition. So, what are the thirteen principles exactly?

The Thirteen Principles of Wiccan Belief were a summation to clear up misconceptions about Wicca and they outlined concepts such as: non-harm, disassociation from the devil, acknowledging the power of nature and the spiritual world, and living in harmony with the universe.

They also covered some societal issues like environmental responsibility and equality of the sexes. The federation wanted to communicate what Wicca was, and also what it was not.

The Principles are monumental because Wiccans and neo-Pagans are loosely organised and often can never agree. However the 13 principles of Wiccan belief forged an agreement among these diverse groups. The legacy of this historic agreement still lasts today.

All Signs

This week two major changes occur: For the next four weeks, the Sun will be in Leo; and for the next six weeks, Mars will be in Gemini. This Leo Sun can happen only once a year; and this Gemini Mars can happen only once every two years. Oh yes, it’s a shift! Everyone will be more playful, more lighthearted and ready to put out energy towards fun activities like sports events, movies, the theatre and playful times with kids. Plus, people will eat out, they will vacation, they’ll stay in hotels and romance will be intriguing and dramatic. (Some will get carpal tunnel syndrome swiping dating websites.) Grab these opportunities to enjoy yourself! Seek out pleasure. Don’t run from temptation – it may not come your way again!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The next four weeks have lots of Fire energy, which is good news for you because you are a Fire sign. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, your ruler fiery Mars is moving into your House of Communications. This is a double whammy. It means the month ahead is the perfect time to express yourself to others. It will be great for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, acting and writing. However, both the Sun and Venus in the most fun part of your chart will also make this a fabulous time for vacations, social outings, romance, sports events and fun times with kids. Lots of enjoyable socializing ahead! Kiss, kiss, hug, hug!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re a sensuous ripe peach. (You love good food, good wine, good sex and a nice place to live.) In the next four weeks, the Sun and fair Venus will encourage you to relax at home, redecorate and make where you live more attractive. You’ll want to entertain as well. You might be involved with family more than usual, especially a parent. Invite family and friends over because people will enjoy sharing fun times with good food and drink. Meanwhile, this happy emphasis on home and family by extension means that the next four weeks are an excellent time to explore real-estate deals. You’ll be working hard to earn money – and spend it!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’ll be PowerPoint on steroids for the next few weeks because fiery Mars has moved into your sign. (This can happen only once every two years, and it lasts for about six weeks.) Mars will boost your energy, your aggressiveness and your sex drive. Va va va voom! It will make you more of a fighter for your rights than usual. Your physical energy level will be high, which makes you pumped and up for anything! Meanwhile, this Leo Sun that is in place for the next four weeks will quicken your daily pace and make you eager to talk to everyone. It will make you just as eager to learn new things, and travel to new places to discover new experiences. Fun times ahead!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Don’t be surprised if you find that in the next four weeks, your focus is on money, cash flow, earnings and possessions. It’s what’s happening. You’re never casual about money; and by nature, you are thrifty and frugal. Nevertheless, in the next few weeks, you will spend money on beautiful things, clothing, jewelry, art objects, leather goods to name a few because you want the enjoyment of these items. However, at a deeper level, you’ll be thinking about your core values and what is important to you. You will want to know what really matter, because if you don’t, you might miss the boat. You don’t want to be 90 years old looking in the mirror thinking, “You blew it, kid.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Ta da! This week the Sun moves into Leo to stay for four weeks. (Happens only once a year.) This will boost your confidence and up your game. This is your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. This is why you will project yourself to others more forcefully. You’ll make a strong impression on others. You’ll also feel a need to express yourself because the Sun and Venus are both in your sign, making you charming, diplomatic and energized! (You can see what a winning combo this is.) Knowing this, the month ahead is obviously the time to go after what you want. Make your pitch. Doors will open for you. Shop for wardrobe treasures!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your personal year is drawing to a close because your birthday is a month away. This means the next four weeks are limbo-like. You’re waiting in the wings before you step out centre stage to take a bow. (Modestly, of course.) However, you can use this window of time to think about what you want for your new year ahead (birthday to birthday). Why not identify some goals? Goals give you a sense of purpose. They clarify future decision-making. They give you a clearer focus on what’s important, which ultimately gives you better control over your future. (That’s it. I’m going to make a goal right now.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Good news! The next four weeks will be the most sociable times of the year for you! Meanwhile, you are one of the most sociable signs in the zodiac. (“It’s a great fit – I’ll take two, please.”) This is why friendships will be important to you right now. You’ll want to catch up with people and exchange histories. You might also wonder what role certain friends play in your world? You want to find people who accept you for who you are, better yet, they love you for who you are. And best of all – they’ll pick up the tab for lunch. (Kidding.) This is also a great time to work in conjunction with others. Partnerships will flourish. Your idealism will be aroused. A fascinating month ahead!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The Sun is at the top of your chart for the next four weeks, which is eventful. This happens only once a year and when it does, it symbolizes that you’re in a spotlight. And this spotlight is flattering! This means you look great to others, which is why you might be asked to take on increased responsibilities or given a promotion. Fear not, you can handle whatever is expected of you because it’s all smoke and mirrors. People admire you! (Whether you do anything different or not.) This is the perfect time to ask for permission or approval or advance your agenda. However, do not pretend to be something that you are not. No need for this. Be yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Lucky you! You are the traveller of the zodiac, and for the next four weeks, the Sun is urging you to travel, see foreign countries, and learn and study. You might also explore avenues in medicine and the law. (You love this stuff.) Meanwhile, Venus will attract new romance with someone “different.” Naturally, you’ll welcome chances to travel for pleasure in the next four weeks, even if it’s a tiny get away. However, this week, fiery Mars moves opposite your sign, which could make you irritated with partners and close friends. Consider this an opportunity to practice patience. (Mars opposite your sign happens only once every two years for six weeks.) You can handle this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The next four weeks will be passionate because heady romance will be the stuff of movies. “Natasha!” “Boris!” In fact, you might encounter someone who triggers some psychological self-inquiry within you. They might even be a force for change in your life. They might challenge your value structure? Meanwhile, you will also have a stronger than usual focus on financial resources, shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. You might also be concerned about trying to borrow money or get financial backing. Underlying all these possibilities, you will have a strong desire to be the best that you can be. And why not? Life is short – and fat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Once a year, for four weeks, the Sun is opposite your sign. That time has arrived. This will make you have a strong focus on partnerships and close friendships. This is not the time to go it alone. You’ll be involved more than usual with your partner or a close friend. The good news is this polarized position of the Sun gives you more objectivity to understand your relationships. While you cannot change the other person, you can certainly change yourself. To put a finer point on it, you can change how you respond to that person. This means this is your best chance all year to improve your closest relationships! Major bonus.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’ll be surprised at how gung-ho you are to work in the next four weeks. Roll up your sleeves! You intend to work efficiently, effectively and probably longer hours. This is because you’re keen to get something done, and you want to do it right. Naturally, you will have a strong sense of reward and satisfaction from what you do. If you work with others, coworkers will be supportive and helpful. In fact, some of you might strike up a work-related romance in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, home improvements or visiting guests will make you put out extra energy to pull things together at home. Fortunately – you’re focused!

Full Moon Ritual by Raymond Buckland c.2016

pent

FULL MOON RITUAL

The moon is a powerful tool to use in Witchcraft. Each phase of the moon has its own power, and if we perform spells or rituals to coincide with the phase of the moon, our magick will be stronger.

After erecting circle at esbat but before cookies and wine, kneel with hands held high:

When the moon rides high
as she crosses the sky
and the stars on her gown trail behind
then we wiccan below
are all aglow
just to see her so brightly enshrined.

On the night of the moon
as I sing to the tune
of the Lady who watches above
I raise high my song
as she glides by so strong
and I bask in the light of her light.

Rhythmic chant

Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate,
Demeter, Kali, Inanna
(Repeat as often as wanted)

Lovely Lady, you have been known by so many people. Aphrodite, Territory, Diana, Ea, Freyja, Gana Isis and so many more have been your names. It is with these names do I adore and worship you with your Lord by your side, do I give you due honour and invite you to join me on this, your special night.

Sit and meditate

Descend my Lady; descend I pray thee and speak with me, your child.

Meditate; if you do not feel the spirit, do the following:

I am she who watches over thee. Mother of you all. Know that I rejoice that you do not forget me. To pay homage at the full of the moon is meet and right and brings joy unto yourself, even as it does me. Know that, with my good Lord, I weave the skein of life for everyone. I am at the beginning of life and at its end: The Maiden, The Mother, The Crone.

Where ever you may be, if you seek me know that I am always here for I abide deep within you. Look, then, within yourself if you would seek me. I am Life and I am Love. Find me and rejoice, for love is my music and laughter is my song. Be true to me and I will ever be true to you. Love is the law and love is the bond.

So Mote it Be!

From Raymond Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft

A Witch’s Guide to Celebrating the Full Buck Moon: Spiritual Meaning, Rituals & More

The Full Buck Moon, which graces the skies every July, brings a unique energy perfect for spiritual reflection and celebration. While the exact timing of its peak may vary, the Full Moon’s powerful energy can be harnessed throughout the entire week. This guide will help you explore the spiritual meaning of the Buck Moon, its rich history and folklore, and various ways to celebrate this magical time.

When is the Buck Moon in 2024?

In 2024, the Buck Moon will reach its peak on Sunday, July 21, at around 3:17 AM PDT. While the exact timing may differ slightly depending on your location, the Full Moon’s energy can be harnessed throughout the entire week. This gives you plenty of time to engage in rituals, meditation, and other spiritual practices to fully benefit from its powerful influence.

History & Folklore of the Buck Moon

The Full Moon is named the Buck Moon in July, drawing inspiration from the animal kingdom. During this time, male deer, or bucks, are in the peak of their antler growth. This phenomenon, observed by Native American tribes, led to the naming of this Full Moon. Bucks grow their antlers in preparation for the mating season, symbolizing strength, dominance, and growth.

The Buck Moon is a time of abundant vitality in the natural world. With plenty of plant life, deer and other wildlife thrive, providing essential resources for the months ahead. The preservation techniques of smoking and drying meat were crucial for survival, making the Buck Moon a vital marker for the seasonal cycle.

Buck Moon Spiritual Meaning

The Buck Moon’s energy is imbued with themes of authority, ambition, and change. As we bask in the warmth of summer days, this Full Moon encourages us to harness

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your work routine might be interrupted today. This can also apply to medical routines, appointments or plans. Meanwhile, pet owners should know that this is a mildly accident-prone day for your pets so keep your eyes open. Nevertheless, this is a romantic time for you with Venus in your sign. Enjoy!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Surprise invitations might delight you today. This is a sociable weekend as well as a romantic one. Nevertheless, today’s social plans might suddenly change. They could be cancelled or alternatively, you might be excited about an unexpected invitation to go somewhere. Stay flexible.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you will be subject to sudden changes of moods. Many of you will also have a strong urge to make a break for freedom in some way. You certainly will rebel against restrictions or anyone telling you what to do. In part, this is because you’re working hard and you’re working smart.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Someone, quite likely a female, will do something that surprises you or catches you off guard today. Be ready for this. Nevertheless, this is a fun-loving day!

You can expect promotions, awards, kudos and a spotlight shining directly on you. Bravo!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This day might bring some promises alongside, maybe the prospect of a nice relationship just starting to build up or maybe the sense that you have created some long lasting connections with people with similar interests as you.

On the other hand, your health might also suggest maybe thinking of connections in this area as well and getting yourself checked.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The current disposition will prompt you to be more careful with your health and this time it might even scare you off so that you will actually listen.

It wouldn’t be a bad thing for you to be more responsible with this aspect but at the same time, try to maintain a steady behavior when it comes to your health from now on.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Although you might be under a lot of stress lately, maybe you should man up for a bit and see the bright side.

For some natives this might come in the shape of support from family and friends while for other natives it might be something more practical, like earning more because of what you are doing now or some career advancement.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Some sort of emotional connection might leave you wondering what really struck you and also will have you chasing for more.

For single natives, this will surely be an occasion to up their game and try new things but when it happens to committed natives it probably spells trouble and should be avoided or at least navigated with care.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You need to stop the flow of generosity for now and focus more on yourself.

It has been fun indulging yourself and those close but maybe you need to put your feet on the ground and count what is left after the last shopping spree. In case you don’t want next week to be more difficult that it should be, then put an end to it.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might get stuck today in your expectations or in your plans and definitely this won’t make you happy.

However, you need to prove you are the mature one and not act up, especially if the person who let you down is not someone you are very close to. You can never know how they react and how you can get an enemy.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If you don’t trust yourself then how do you ask from those around you to trust you. Maybe it’s time to put your expectations in order and make some amends, especially to people close to you because they are the ones you probably put the most pressure on.

Other than that, quite a peaceful Sunday with certain things to look for.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You don’t seem to feel at your ease when surrounded by those in your family and you will probably try to find all kinds of excuses to avoid that.

Maybe there are really some things left hanging there that need to be resolved or maybe you are just the only one who is imagining those things. Try to be less worrisome.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Quite an interesting Sunday for you as you are increasingly more interested in the state your love life is in than in what you need to do with your family or of the things you promised to your friends.

Try not to be selfish this time and make sure you honor everything you said you would do.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This might be a day of changes, even moving places for some natives and for others surely a day when they will try to do a lot of things at once and luckily they will succeed in most of them.

All you need is a bit of trust in your own powers and maybe the thought of postponing any cry for help up until the moment you are sure that you can’t do it yourself.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are trying to position yourself central to everything that is going on around you but maybe this is not the right time.

And you will surely be prompted about this by the way others interact with you and by the way they just mind their own activities without really taking into account all the drama you are trying to create.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The current disposition prompts you not to relax but to think of what you need to do next at work, even if it is Sunday, so your brain most likely will follow.

While during the day this might actually be a good idea, as the night sets in, you might not be as eager as you will probably find it harder to sleep because of all the worries.

Merry Meet dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Welcome to WOTC! Thought for Today

I am having a very bad fibromyalgia flare today and it hurts to type so Monday posts will not go up until Monday unless it calms down later today.

After reading this I was reminded of the book The Four Agreements where it talks about a person’s best can change from minute to minute depending on how that person feels mentally or emotionally or spiritually or physically or a combination of any of these things. So if you cannot always be a 100% when doing something do not feel guilty or stressed because you are doing your best in that exact moment.

If you want to see some information on any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. I will try to find some information to post about it.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with all things positive!

Blessed be.

A Little Humor for Your Day

I hope the rest of your day and evening is relaxing, filled with fun and love.

Merry part until we merry meet again!

Egyptian Art

In 1986, the band “The Bangles” sang about “all the old paintings on the tombs” where the figures they depict are “walking like an Egyptian.” Though he was neither an art historian nor an Egyptologist, songwriter Liam Sternberg was referring to one of the most striking features of ancient Egyptian visual art — the depiction of people, animals and objects on a flat, two-dimensional plane. Why did the ancient Egyptians do this? And is ancient Egypt the only culture to create art in this style?

Drawing any object in three dimensions requires a specific viewpoint to create the illusion of perspective on a flat surface. Drawing an object in two dimensions (height and breadth) requires the artist to depict just one surface of that object. And highlighting just one surface, it turns out, has its advantages.

“In pictorial representation, the outline carries the most information,” John Baines, professor emeritus of Egyptology at the University of Oxford in the U.K. told Live Science. “It’s easier to understand something if it is defined by an outline.”

When drawing on a flat surface, the outline becomes the most important feature, even though many Egyptian drawings and…

Moon Phase

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. This September Full Moon will be the forth and final supermoon of 2023.

During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on July 20 has an illumination of 99%. 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 July 20 the Moon is 13.75 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.

May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

Being a Cancer born on July 20th, you have a stable and loyal personality. You seem to put great price on responsibility in life and dread letting other people down.

You are a protector of those who have been wronged, even if at times, you might find it hard to speak for yourself. Your creativity will take you places, once you realize how to come in contact with it. Prepare to read a special profile analysis in the following rows.

The zodiac sign for July 20 is Cancer.

Astrological symbol: Crab. The sign of the Crab is influential for those born June 21 – July 22, when the Sun is considered to be in Cancer. It suggests moodiness, transformation and emotion.

The Cancer Constellation with the brightest star being Cancri is spread on 506 sq degrees between Gemini to the West and Leo to the East. Its visible latitudes are +90° to -60°, this being just one of the twelve zodiac constellations.

The Crab is named in Latin as Cancer, in Spanish as Cancer while the Greeks name it Karkinos.

Opposite sign: Capricorn. This reflects upon generalization and humor and the fact that a cooperation between the Cancer and Capricorn sun signs, whether in business or love is beneficial for both parts.

Modality: Cardinal. This quality exposes the impulsive nature of those born on July 20 and their amazement and vigilance about most life situations.

Ruling house: The fourth house. This house rules over memories, ancestry, family and domestic stability. This is suggestive for the interests of Cancerians and for their behavior in life.

Ruling body: Moon. This celestial planet symbolizes understanding and discipline. The Moon is one of the seven classical planets that can be seen with the naked eye. The Moon is also suggestive for the daring component of these personalities.

Element: Water. This element reveals the flair and sensibility of people born on July 20 but also their passivity and acceptance at times. Water couples with fire to make things boil, models things with earth and dissipates in the presence of air.

Lucky day: Monday. This weekday is ruled by the Moon symbolizing illumination and change. It reflects upon the affectionate nature of Cancer people and the daring flow of this day.

Lucky numbers: 2, 4, 14, 18, 23.

Motto: “I feel!”

They are devious and often react in contradictory ways. They refuse to let go of the past and are often hunted by it for periods and periods of time. They are overly conscious and seem to put a lot of burden on those around them with their weaknesses.

Cancer puts the greatest value in life on home stability and family wellbeing as one of the most important pursuits in the life of a Cancer is finding their soul mate and forming a family of their own. You can conquer the heart of Cancer if you are an enthusiastic and loyal lover whom can offer them unconditional support and stability.

They are prudent and circumspect lovers and although not passionate their gentleness and honesty compensate. Their relationships are likely to grow on friendships as they need time to know the person that stays beside them. They offer everything they have to their loved one and ask for the same. Gentle and loving daydreamers now, but when time comes they will prove to be very dedicated to their family and they are likely to sacrifice many of their dreams for their loved one’s sake.
