Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today parents, bosses and people in authority might surprise you. (“Busted!”) Therefore, be on your best behaviour. Be aware. Of course, this surprise might be good news. It could be anything. Be extra clear in all your communications with others today to avoid confusion.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Travel plans are uncertain today. Double check details because things might be delayed or cancelled. This might also apply to medical issues or something to do with legal matters and universities. Meanwhile, this is a lovely day to entertain at home as well as do home repairs.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Make friends with your bank account so that you know what’s happening because today something unexpected could impact your assets, your bank accounts, or something to do with shared property and inheritances. It could be minor; it could be major. Stay in the know.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A spouse, partner or close friend might surprise you today by doing something unexpected. They might want more freedom in the relationship? They might suggest something surprising? Alternatively, you might meet someone today who is a real character. It’s not a boring day.

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)

Your home routine will probably change today. Because this is a sociable, romantic weekend, you might suddenly entertain? (“We were having a fight and suddenly a party broke out.”) A family member might have surprising news today. Meanwhile, enjoy time with friends and groups. Live it up!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a very social weekend and it is especially susceptible to spontaneous, unexpected happenings. Therefore, get dressed. Be ready for anything. Short trips and encounters with unexpected people might make your day. Plus, let’s face it, you want a change of scenery.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unexpected could impact them in some way. This could be good; it could be bad. But very likely, there’s a glitch you didn’t expect. Likewise, keep an eye on your possessions to avoid loss, damage or theft.

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)

You might feel a bit unsettled or distracted today. You might even feel slightly nervous for some reason and not know why. Don’t worry because this is a fleeting thing. Instead, focus on good times, romantic rendezvous, social outings, sports and fun activities with kids. Enjoy yourself!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

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! Make some plans to socialize with others. If you’re working, relations with coworkers will be positive and friendly. Romance is in the air!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Josh Holloway (1969) shares your birthday today. You love change, adventure and being exhilarated by new challenges. Routine is not for you. This is a wonderful year because your past achievements will now receive recognition. You will be busy. Welcome increased leadership. You can expect promotions, awards, kudos and a spotlight shining directly on you. Bravo!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might have to take some family decisions today and some that you will not find easy to navigate at all. Maybe take your time and think about this more than you already have.

Although you might feel somewhat stuck, there might be some last minute solutions that you can still access, but you will need to think harder for that.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Communication is important of course but for you this Saturday maybe remaining quiet can say more than a thousand words could.

It all depends on how you feel and how willing to get in an argument you are, because surely if you open your mouth today and start saying what you think, the conversation will be heated.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Professionally speaking you are stressing more at home than at work, with your mind being all focused on what you need to do and how to plan things but mostly when you are in your spare time and when you are in the office you tend to de motivate yourself entirely.

Maybe you need to check what keeps you in place.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You can’t really postpone what you promised you will do today so might as well just go with it. But this doesn’t also mean that you can do whatever and make sure you get it done quickly.

It seems that somehow you will be checked of what you did so might as well invest proper time into this that do something just to have it done.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You seem to not know what you want this Saturday and you are beginning several tasks at once and not really finishing anything.

You do have the occasion to try new things and enter in contact with people you haven’t met before but you don’t seem to take on this opportunity, at the same time still complaining about not finding anything proper to do.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The monotony and seriousness of this day will get on your nerves and the time will look as if it is not passing.

To some extend you do need to grow up and stop analyzing things and quantifying how fun or how boring they are, but to another extend, maybe you are right, maybe this Saturday should be for relaxing and maybe you should do something about this.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You need to keep your eyes open for everything that is out there but your mind even more open because chances are you will have some things to learn this Saturday.

However, I stress again the need to be open because these lessons will come in different shapes and with different events and you will have to extract them your own.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will put a lot more attention than usual in the way you look and those around will notice that but not necessarily in the way you want them to.

So do expect some unwanted and all of a sudden criticism to hit you even when you thought you finally nailed it. The bad side is that they will probably be right but it will take you a while to realize what you are doing wrong.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Good luck surely shines on those who try but this time luck will be on the side of natives who don’t try too much and who kind of leave things.

The more you stress, the harder it will actually be to get something done. However, the smart ones will soon catch the point and will probably end up with some accomplishments.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are quite pessimistic this Saturday and there will probably be very little to get you out of this mood, even those dear to you will not have too much success.

However, there might be something you can do and something to put this pessimism of yours to good use. Think of the faults of something you are doing now and make up like a plan B.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is going to be quite a tempting Saturday with some events you might be interested in but also some things you have already planned at home.

Therefore you need to be very careful about how you navigate this, not to disappoint anyone but also not to leave yourself bitter and full of frustration the whole day. In case you can’t settle the dilemma, rather go with leaving yourself second this time.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Apparently the financial side is not as peaceful as you’d expect it to be so proof is that today’s shopping session might be marked by a bit of anxiety and frustration.

If you don’t want this to continue during the following days, then start working harder or stop spending that much. There needs to be some balance out there that you can attain.

7 Things You Should Know About Stonehenge

Get the facts on the iconic ancient monument, including how it once ended up on the auction block and what the wizard Merlin and Charles Darwin have to do with it.

1. Stonehenge was built in phases.

Around 3000 B.C. a circular earthwork was constructed at the site, consisting of a ditch (dug using tools made from antlers) with an inner and outer bank. Inside the bank were 56 pits, which became known as the Aubrey Holes, after antiquarian John Aubrey, who identified them in 1666. Archaeologists estimate Stonehenge was home to 150 or more cremation burials from approximately 3000 B.C. to 2300 B.C., and they’ve called it Britain’s biggest known cemetery of the time.

The two types of stones at the center of the monument, the large sarsens and smaller bluestones, arrived at the site sometime around 2500 B.C. Afterward, they were shaped using various stoneworking techniques and arranged in formations. The final stage of construction was a ring of pits now referred to as the Y holes, dug sometime between 1600 B.C. to 1500 B.C. The Y holes encircled another ring of pits called the Z holes, which were dug at an earlier time and surrounded the sarsens. Researchers are unclear as to whether the Y and Z holes served any purpose. It’s also unknown how long Stonehenge continued to be used after the Y holes were dug.

2. It’s a mystery how some stones got to the site.

3. Stonehenge once was put up for auction.

4. Theories abound about Stonehenge’s purpose.

5. Summer solstice gatherings were banned at Stonehenge.

6. Darwin studied worms there.

7. Stonehenge is just one of several prehistoric stone circles in Great Britain.

July 21, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Moon Phase

The current moon phase for July 21st, 2024 is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.89 days old and 99.56% illuminated with a tilt of 83.177°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 372,232.14 km and the moon sign is Capricorn.

The Moon phase for July 21st, 2024 is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).

The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.

The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.

Phase Details

Moon age: 14.89 days

Moon illumination: 99.56%

Moon tilt: 83.177°

Moon angle: 0.54

Moon distance: 372,232.14 km

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.

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.

July 19, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for July 19th, 2024 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 13.85 days old and 96.62% illuminated with a tilt of 107.845°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 377,002.24 km and the moon sign is Capricorn.

The Moon phase for July 19th, 2024 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

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 3:30 AM to 4:30 AM EDT today (00:30 AM to 1:30 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Because you’re high viz. today, people notice you more than usual. (Be aware of this in case you have to do some corrections or damage control.) In fact, some people will know personal details about your private life. Meanwhile, social plans appeal. Party on!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Give yourself permission to goof off a little today and do something different because you need some adventure and stimulation! Ideally, you would love to travel somewhere you have never been before. If you can’t do that, why not be a tourist in your own city? Check things out!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your focus on money, finances, taxes, debt and inheritances has been stronger than usual lately. Today is no different. Double check details related to banking. Likewise, double check how things are going in any transactions where you share or divide something. (You’re looking good.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which happens for 2 1/2 days every month. When this occurs, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. That’s how it works. However, this is no biggie. Be cooperative, accommodating and friendly.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s Friday, nevertheless, it’s a good idea to get better organized because then you will love yourself for this later. Your efforts to get better organized might apply to doing something to improve your health as well. It might even apply to dealing with pets.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Lucky you! This is a great date day and the perfect day to have fun times with others. Accept invitations to socialize. Enjoy the arts, the entertainment world, sports events plus playful activities with kids. You are popular right now and eager for fun! Yay!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You make a wonderful impression on others now; plus, this is a popular time for you. This is why and you’re enjoying socializing with everyone. Nevertheless, today, even though it’s Friday, you might want to cocoon at home and keep a low profile. Your choice.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Get out today so that you talk to others and see new places because you’re curious and energetic to explore. This same energy will encourage you to learn new things. Sign up for a course, perhaps? You’ll enjoy short trips and conversations with daily contacts, neighbours and siblings.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Financial issues have your interest right now. This could be because you are angling for a raise or a better paying job. Or perhaps, you’re pondering a particular purchase? At a more subtle level, some of you are wondering about your basic values today. And so it goes.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is in your sign. This is something that happens for 2 1/2 days every month. When it occurs, it heightens your emotions, which is why you might have a reaction to things that people around you do. However, it also slightly improves your good luck. (We like!)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re working hard today, and enjoying the company of friends, spouses and partners. Admittedly, chaos and increased activity on the home front might drain some energy. Perhaps this is why you will seek out some privacy today and be a bit more low key.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Make time today to see your friends. Enjoy interactions with others, especially groups. You will find this is a rewarding experience for you, as well as stimulating and comforting. It’s important to go out to see others and also to be seen.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Musician, songwriter, animal activist, astrophysicist Brian May (1947) shares your birthday today. Because self-improvement is important to you, you set high standards for yourself. You’re energetic, intelligent and charming. This is a year of reflection both inwardly and outwardly. Take time to renew your spiritual or religious beliefs. Explore disciplines that give you a better self-awareness about the meaning of life.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Discovering what you like but more, what you dislike will be the main motif of today and hopefully will not leave you with more questions than you had at the beginning.

Rather leave you with more answers, a deeper knowledge of yourself and who knows, maybe even a little bit more confidence in yourself than you had in the morning.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will receive all the peace of mind you need or crave for now from someone or something you didn’t really think of or expected it from.

Maybe your charm will get you through this as it helped you on other occasions or maybe you will get the reassurance you needed to motivate yourself and get everything done on your own.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pleasure and sensual endeavors are most likely everything you can think of and you won’t be able to extract yourself out of this, not until you feel you have gained exactly what you expected.

Just don’t pressure your partner too much because they might not react positively to blunt prompts and other proposal and might ruin the moment.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This Friday will probably require more energy from you than the rest of the week had and it will be something both mentally and physically so do expect to be hit from all sides possible.

At the same time, you are also very involved in what you are doing so it probably couldn’t be another way, with all the attention you give to everything.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You don’t have the amount of energy you had in the previous days and even the very least that you have in the morning this Friday will diminish as the day goes by.

Try not to stay in dark dwellings and get out in the light because part of what you are experiencing is caused by these minor elements you can quickly and easily adjust yourself.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Work and responsibilities are going to put a toll on you and probably this day will feel as if it is never ending.

Not too many people in sight either, for you to complain to, so quite a difficult situation overall. Therefore you will need to find something other than talking that relaxes you and that you can use to cope with what is going on.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Some sort of project or maybe something important for work will finally come to light and it will probably be your shining moment.

But don’t expect too much appraisal or for too important people to really take you in consideration because it won’t be the case. Enjoy your moment and then slightly get back in the shadow.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

If so far you have tested your boundaries, maybe this is now time for you to check how well you did it and how easier it is for you now to get out of your comfort zone whenever the prospect of something new shows up in your life.

Evolving quickly might not be the exact answer here so do take your time on the things you are yet unsure of.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The depth of your feelings will soon be tested and if I were you, I wouldn’t be that sure I would pass this test.

And even if you do pass it, there might be some things raising some signals of alarm to either you or your partner and things will not be easy as they appeared to be before. Be careful with what you say as well.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Some news is good some other not so much but if you are mature enough you will take them all with the same mindset.

Financially speaking this might not be such a bad moment so why not look at these indicators as well when you are trying to assess your performance and how much effort you are investing in what you are doing.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Things are wobbly in love but this doesn’t have to make you feel bad about yourself or try to pressure your partner in any way.

Just see where you stand now and which is the difference from where you would like to stand. A moment or more of reflection will definitely give you more clarity than spending time in self pity.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are overly dark this Friday and too pessimistic, even for the troubles you are going through now. Maybe not everything has an apparent solution and maybe even the outcomes are not the ones you expect or the brightest.

But look at the bright side, you will have some new challenges to add there to your portfolio soon.

Wiccan (Witch/Pagan) Values

The Triple Goddess and Horned God Symbols

Duality of the Divine

Wiccans honor the duality of the divine through understanding while reality is split into the male and female aspects, divinity is ultimately united an as interconnected whole.

Magic is Real

It is often defined using this quote from Crowley, “Magic is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur with the conformity with Will.” Wiccans believe that Magic is not greed or power, rather it is a force by6 which what can be imagined can be created and become real.

Nature is Sacred

The rhythms of nature pulse with that of human life course as the divine is woven into its very fabric. Being attuned with nature means believing that all of nature is sacred and should be held in reverence rather than dominated.

All Paths are Blessed

Wiccans see their chosen path as only one of a myriad of possible spiritual paths available. While many other religions espouse a single path to enlightenment. Wiccans believe that all paths lead to the divine are equally acceptable and blessed.

Personal Connections to the Divine

Whether working with a coven or as a solitary practitioner, the connection to the divine is a very personal process. maintaining, building, and sustaining a relationship with the divine is an individual responsibility.

(Side Note: Here is where I feel different pagan traditions diversify the most. Some traditions do not believe these next two need to be followed or believed in. I am not one of those individuals. After walking a dark path for 2 years I came to fully believe in them and teach them to anyone who apprentices under me. But I do refer to the Wiccan Rede as the Wicce Rede meaning a wise women’s rede.)

The Wiccan Rede

“Do what ye will, lest it harm none.” Wiccans are free to engage in any behavior they choose as long as their actions do not harm themselves or others.

The Rule of Three (or The Three-Fold Law)

All the good and all the harm a person does to others will return threefold in this life. Every magical act sent out into the universe will return to the witch three times over.

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

Even if you cannot or do not want to share you are a witch with others that does not mean you are denying your spiritual and magickal path. Remember it is what is in our heart and spirit that counts not what other people know about us.

I am lucky enough to have been able to come out of the broom closet at a fairly young age and have proudly admitted to being pagan and a witch for most of my adult life. Not all of us can do this because of family or friends or work which is ok as long as we know and acknowledge our path to ourselves.

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.

Voodoo/Hoodoo Oils and Potions

Oils and Potions

Voodoo Hoodoo not only utilizes roots & herbs for its spells, but also candles, oils, incense, floor washes, sprays, powders – pretty  much anything goes. Many spells are candle oriented for added power. The color of the candle is always in sync with the nature of the spell. By dressing (anointing) the candles with oils and rolled in powdered herbs, you’re in effect adding an enhancement to your candle of power thereby making it that much more precise in your working.
This spills the beans on some of the commonly used oils and potions in Voodoo hoodoo. You will need to know how to make these or you will need to buy them for many of the spells. Most traditional root workers make their own, although modernization of the practice along with internet access makes it easier for some folks to purchase what they need. Do whatever you want; there is no law that says you have to make your own. The advantage of making your own is that you know exactly what is in it and you can charge it yourself.
Many traditions of magic work with plant materials, and most assign some symbolic meanings or ascriptions to these ingredients. Many hoodoo and Voodoo spells require certain blends of oils and powders to accomplish a particular work or to enhance a spell. Always use a natural carrier oil to blend your magickal oils as unblended oils can burn the skin. You should only use a drop or two at a time on the skin. I use Grape Seed oil and almond oil for blending magickal oils, and Olive oil for blending holy oils. Jojoba oil is a good alternative because it won’t go rancid, although it is more expensive than the others. Mineral oil is good for negative works. You should always add tincture of Benzoin or Vitamin E oil to keep to any oils listed to keep them from going rancid.

CARRIER OILS

Below you will find a list of carrier oils and their shelf life that can be used to make magickal anointing oils. This is important information when considering how often you will use the particular oil you make.
Grapeseed Oil
– Shelf life is approximately 3-6 months. Solvent extracted grapeseed oil has a shelf life of 9 months. Keep refrigerated.
Jojoba Oil
– Indefinite shelf life.
Mustard Seed
– Abyssinian Seed Oil
– Shelf life is approximately 18-24 months.
Olive Oil
– Shelf life is approximately 12 months to 18 months if stored properly in a cool dark place.
Sweet Almond Oil
– Shelf life is approximately 3-6 months is not refrigerated. If refrigerated, the shelf life can be increased to 12 months.

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

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for July 19th, 2024 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 13.85 days old and 96.62% illuminated with a tilt of 107.845°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 377,002.24 km and the moon sign is Capricorn.

The Moon phase for July 19th, 2024 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

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

You might also want to write. Certainly, others will listen to you because you have something to say.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Kristen Bell (1980) shares your birthday today. You’re dynamic, enthusiastic and often unconventional. You throw yourself energetically into whatever you’re doing. This is a year of service for you, especially service to family. Therefore, it’s important to take care of your mind, body and spirit. Enroll in courses. Perhaps it’s time for a personal makeover?

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You won’t really get too much time for rest this Thursday and it will all be because of your thoughts and how you create a big drama out of some small misunderstanding.

So as long as you keep making scenarios and making yourself feel bad about yourself as well as treating others as if they don’t understand you, this is going to be a long day.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You need to be very careful with traveling today and make sure that you have everything you need at hand.

The risk is that, with all you have on your mind now, you will most likely forget something, either important or not. So diminish that by making some lists, no matter how boring this might seem, or set some remainders.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are quite passionate and you definitely do not hesitate to show it whenever you have the chance and also when there is not a right time for that.

It is fun though because you tend to be so natural about these things that even people who would otherwise criticize gestures like yours will be a lot more acceptant of you now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You wouldn’t say you want a change but you actually do and appear to be very eager for something to happen in your life.

To begin with, you will probably wait for fate to do its course, but then, after you will get sick of waiting you will probably try to get involved in all kinds of things, just too see things moving in one direction or another.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The current disposition will ask of you to spend more time at home but of course work will keep you stuck at the desk.

There won’t be many chances for you to make this work so might as well give up from the beginning. You won’t be able to make everyone happy and by trying you might upset yourself more than you can imagine.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You seem to get more and more in tune with this idea you have for some time now but you didn’t really start anything until recently.

And even at the moment, you are not very convinced you want to pursue that. However, this is maybe the right time for a choice so why not make your mind now, even if it might seem premature to do so.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your business might be prosperous this Thursday but not the same can be said about the relationships you have with your employees or colleagues.

Whether you are too controlling or pressuring them too much, they surely don’t view you as the friendliest person and this really blocks the efficiency of you communicating with them.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Stress is all over you now, whether you perceive it or not and will surely create you some troubles because you won’t be able to control everything and the more you feel it escapes you the more tense you become.

Support will not be something we can talk about or even account for so you will kind of have to deal with it yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are trying to get involved in many activities at once but this doesn’t come as well as you figured it would and all because you don’t seem to have enough time to even invest just little in everything you started on.

Try to discriminate more between what you really want to do and what you can do and prioritize that.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Love goes through the stomach at times and this for you means that any troubles at home might cause your relationship to inflame.

The current disposition is not helping you either, making you more susceptible towards criticism and towards saying things exactly as they are so most likely you are set for a heated discussion.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are set to take part in quite an important event, whether it is something in your life or in the life of a close friend, someone that you consider like family to you.

So make sure you are at your best behavior and behave in a diplomatic way. And I stress this because you will probably have to deal with people you don’t necessarily like.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The current disposition will show you some fangs in love so it won’t be that easy to handle what comes your way.

Even your partner appears to behave differently, either that they are more cold to you or the exact opposite, that they are more demanding. This will surely leave you with a lot on your mind and little thoughts left for work.
