I apologize for not getting the tomorrow posts up for Thursday. I overworked myself outside this morning and early afternoon. Then Big Dawg and I drove almost 150 miles to serve papers. Just got home about an hour, and I had to help him take Merlin and Crystal on their walk, followed by fresh water and feeding them. After that, we had leftovers. First chance to sit down since 7 AM and relax. Unfortunately, I do not have the energy to get the posts up now. They will be up tomorrow morning. I will try to get up the tomorrow posts for Friday also.

What is Smudge? c. 2011
Smudge sticks are tied dried bundle of herbs that are lit at one end. The ensuing smoke is then directed towards whatever is to be empowered, cleansed or released into the cosmos. Large dried leaves can also be burned without charcoal in its abalone shell with holes in the base or in a flat clay dish.
Smudge stick do not burn for as long as herbs on charcoal, but this can be ideal for a shorter spell. Strictly, incense contains resin and is usually burned on charcoal. In practice the overlap between incense and smudge is considerable and incense can be cast on fires and some pure smudging herbs do need charcoal to burn.
The following herbs are good for smudging, whether you buy the sticks or leaves ready prepared or make your own sticks or leaf mix. Evergreen trees and bushy herbs are popularly used; rosebuds and lavender can be added to the center of it smudge stick, but generally smudge is not floral.
Spell for Wednesday – Three Times Three Spell
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
Three Times Three Spell
This is one of the best known binding spells. This three times three spell is to use on people who were corrupt in their ways. It has no negative consequence unless you think ill of the person while casting it.
“Wind in the north, run through the trees
Three times three, let them see, let them see
Sands of the east, rich soils beneath
Three times three, set them free, set them free
Fires in the south, awaken from sleep
Three times three, let them see, let them see
Water of the west, flow to the seas
Three times three, set them free, set them free.”
It works best if you have something representing that person, like a strand of their hair or a fingernail. The spell may not work instantly; you may have to repeat it for the person to see errors in their ways. Please be sure you’re not being hypocritical, because that may cause negative feedback.

22 August 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for August 22nd, 2024 is the Waning Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 17.38 days old and 93.17% illuminated with a tilt of -70.006°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 360,632.03 km and the moon sign is Pisces.
The Moon phase for August 22nd, 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 and important decisions from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM EDT today (2:30 PM to 4:30 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Be careful about doing something spontaneously that could impact your finances. For example, you might want to buy something luxurious on the spur of the moment. Think twice before you do this. Be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert (see above).
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might want to help a friend today or you might want to do some volunteer work with a nonprofit group or a charitable organization. This is all well and good; however, be careful of impulsive decisions. Don’t agree to anything that makes you hesitant. Know what you’re doing.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Someone might appeal to you for help or assistance today, and you want to respond. Make sure this is something that you really want to do. Don’t react without thinking. You might also ask an authority figure for help. Think carefully before you do anything today.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Travel for pleasure, especially to someplace luxurious, appeals to you today. This is why you might impulsively book a trip or agree to something like taking a course with someone. Make sure you have an option to be able to change your mind later. Happiness is having alternatives.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today you might feel sympathetic to someone who is in need, which is why you might impulsively donate something, or give money, or be helpful in some way. Generosity is a good thing, especially if you are giving what is needed. Nevertheless, caution against knee-jerk reactions.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Don’t let a friend or partner talk you into something today by preying on your sympathies. You are someone who likes to be helpful, which is a good thing. However, sometimes someone can take advantage of this. Think carefully before you agree to do anything.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
If you can help a coworker today, you will want to do so. Alternatively, you might be the person asking for a coworker to help you? This is all well and good; however, make sure you don’t regret a spontaneous decision. Think things through first.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
If you can help children today, by all means do so. However, think twice before making a spontaneous decision that involves an expensive social outing. This could be a vacation or you might simply spend too much on lunch? Don’t do anything you will regret later. Be smart.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
A decision to help a family member might take place suddenly today. If the need is sudden, this explains your fast response. However, a sudden decision might also be an impulsive idea? Make sure that what you do gets the results you want. Think before you act.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today you might be caught up in day dreams and a world of fantasy, which we all indulge in from time to time. However, this could lead to an impulsive decision that later makes you question what you were thinking? Make sure your decisions are based on solid reality.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Be careful about impulse spending and sudden decisions about buying beautiful things for yourself and others. If your decision is wise, you’ll have no regrets later. That’s the key. How you spend your money today – will you regret this later?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with your ruler Neptune, which makes you feel sympathetic towards others. You want to be helpful if your help is needed. However, there is a quality of impulsiveness that is also present today. Keep your eyes open.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Carrie-Anne Moss (1967) shares your birthday today. You have a powerful, almost mysterious appeal to others about you, which is why you are noticed – you stand out. Yet, you don’t seek this. This is an exciting year because it has new beginnings and fresh adventures! What you do now will benefit your future.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Things are not going bad personally but maybe they could go even better so why not persevere in some of the ways you consider maybe there should be some movement.
Other than that, your energy levels are going towards zero so maybe you should take some measures in this direction as well and get some proper rest.
You can also read this special Aries Daily Horoscope.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This Wednesday you need to take a closer look to what is really going on in your life and to find ways to mitigate the risks you feel are coming ahead.
Maybe you feel some family members are drifting apart or maybe you feel you are not giving people as much attention as they would deserve. No matter what we are talking about, maybe it’s time to take some measures.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The current disposition is promoting a different love approach in your life and you are under the spell.
You seem to feel compelled to take some measures and to do some grand gesture either to put things in movement for a new relationship or to salvage something you feel is going wrong in your already existing relationship.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Maybe it won’t be such a bad idea for you to stay in your own routine this Wednesday and to make as few changes as you can.
This is not the best day to make any important decisions and you might find it quite easy to escape the responsibility of making them. However, remember that you can’t postpone them forever either.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You need to be very careful to how you are interacting with a person of the opposite sex who is very important for your career.
There might be things you risk saying and that won’t give out the best impression as well as other gestures that might seem out of placed and away from which you need to stand this Wednesday.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Don’t offend others because of their past but don’t flash yours either. Maybe it’s time for everyone to be quite diplomatic but secretive and just mind their own business.
Your tendency this Wednesday seems to be too open for the taste of some people and not everyone will have the same opinions as you so be prepared for criticism.
You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are dreading something and feel a bit stuck in your ways because of that but when challenged to explain what is going on with you, maybe you are not that articulate anymore.
So don’t complain and don’t put any ideas ahead of things you want to do or feelings just to keep you away from doing what you really want.
You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You should rely only on yourself today because although your partner or your close friend have the best intentions and are really there for you, maybe they won’t actually be able to support you up until the end and you don’t want to leave yourself uncovered.
So work harder than it is necessary just to have this peace of mind.
You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Sometimes it is best that we mind our own business and let others have their own way although we see this way as being wrong.
So maybe this is what you have to learn today, to stay in your own world and let others make and then learn from their mistakes. Sometimes you can’t prevent everything and things might get even worse if you tried to.
You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You are craving freedom from who knows what, from the imaginary scenarios you are making about how stuck you are in some ways when in reality, it is only you who is keeping yourself from doing things you would actually enjoy.
So stop searching for the guilty ones and open your mind rather than complain all the time.
You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Be careful to where you are using your energy this Wednesday or to put it more bluntly, where you are wasting it.
There are a million things that maybe you should be doing but it seems like you prefer to procrastinate and choose to do anything but what you know should be right to do. Set your priorities straight.
You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You need to gift something before you can receive something and it seems like this Wednesday will function exactly by this principle.
Other than that, you need to be very careful to the reactions of those around to your ideas because although they might say yes, you’ll see that their body language and other small details are actually showing them against.
