A Little Humor for Your Day – You know you’re getting older when c. 2013

You know you’re getting older when…

 

Everything hurts, and what doesn’t hurt, doesn’t work.

The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.

You feel like the night before, and yo9u haven’t been anywhere.

Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.

You get winded playing chess.

Your children begin to look middle-aged.

You finally reach the top of the ladder, and you find it leaning against   the wrong wall.

You join a health club and don’t go.

You begin to outlive enthusiasm

You decide to procrastinate but never get around to it.

Your mind makes contracts your body can’t meet.

A dripping faucet causes uncontrollable bladder urge.

You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions.

You look forward to a dull evening.

You walk with your head held high trying to get used to your bifocals.

Your favorite part of the newspaper is “Twenty-five Years Ago Today.”

You turn out the light for economic rather than romantic reasons.

You sit in a rocking chair and can’t get it going.

Your knees buckle but your belt won’t.

You regret all those temptations you resisted.

You’re 17 around the neck and 44 around the waist, and 105 around the golf   course.

You stop looking forward to your next birthday.

After painting the town red, you have to take a long rest before applying   a second coat.

Dialing long distance wears you out.

You are startled the first time someone’s calls you Old-timer.

You remember today that yesterday was your wedding anniversary.

You just can’t stand people who are intolerant.

The best part of your day is over when the alarm clock goes off.

You burn the midnight oil after 9:00 p.m.

Your back goes out more often than you do.

7 September 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for September 7th, 2024 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 4.2 days old and 16.09% illuminated with a tilt of 151.139°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 404,722.94 km and the moon sign is Scorpio.

The Moon phase for September 7th, 2024 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent 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. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping and important decisions from 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM PDT. After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Note: Parents should be extra vigilant because this is an accident-prone time for your kids. Meanwhile, social occasions might be cancelled, delayed or changed. Or alternatively, an unexpected invitation might come your way that surprises you. Double check vacation itineraries because everything is a crapshoot.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Small appliances might break down at this time, or minor breakages could occur. Family squabbles are possible. You might suddenly need to do repairs at home or repairs might be halted due to something unexpected. Accept the limitations of what you have to work with and do your best.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today Mercury is at odds with unpredictable Uranus. This an accident-prone day so pay attention to everything you say and do. However, you might have some brilliant epiphanies; or you might make a gaffe when talking to someone. Short trips might be cancelled. Transportation delays are likely. Yikes!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Keep an eye on your finances and your possessions today because things are unpredictable this week, culminating today. You might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Be patient with family members today. Jealousy is likely.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful – this is an accident-prone day. You feel restless, even impulsive. Therefore, guard against knee-jerk reactions because you might do or say something that you later regret. Feelings of independence make you rebellious and keen to have the right to speak up. Yeah!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a restless day for you; and you might not know why. Power struggles about financial matters or something that you own might upset you. Perhaps financial matters are being hidden from you or are secretive? Jealousy might even be a factor when it comes to money and possessions. Watch your back.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might be surprised by something that a friend says or does today. Or perhaps you’re surprised by a group? Alternatively, you might meet a real character today. Nevertheless, today has its challenges, which means you will have to demonstrate grace under pressure. Be cool.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Keep your distance from parents, bosses and the police because they might do something that catches you off guard. (“Busted!”) In turn, you might feel defiant or rebellious about something that someone in authority does. You have strong feelings about politics, religion and racial issues.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Something in the media might surprise you today. Or perhaps, travel plans will be cancelled or changed. (Double check your itinerary and all details.) Likewise, university schedules might change. Be the voice of reason because people respect and admire you. Do this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Make friends with your bank account so you know what’s happening because issues related to shared property, banking, taxes and inheritances are unpredictable today. This could be good news – or not. Don’t be caught asleep at the switch. If you are alert and vigilant, you might avoid financial loss.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid controversial subjects today, especially with close friends and partners because heated arguments are possible. You don’t need this. Nevertheless, you might attract someone to you today who is opinionated or unusual in some way. They might catch you off guard. Be prepared.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today your work routine will be interrupted. Small appliances might break down at home or computer glitches, cancelled appointments, delayed mail and difficulty with coworkers might be challenging for you. Or perhaps, accidents and surprise news that is health-related will occur. Be vigilant about your pet.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Asher Angel (2002) shares your birthday today. You have an inquiring mind and are multitalented. Despite careful planning and organizational skills, your life is often full of surprises. This year is full of exciting changes and increased personal freedom. Stay flexible to take advantage of new opportunities and be ready to act fast. Expect to travel.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You will have to do the math properly today and pay all debt you have accrued, as you will probably feel a lot more in charge with the situation if you do so.

Other than that, maybe it isn’t the best idea to launch yourself into any kind of shopping spree as you’ve had your chances lately and you should be more cautious in respect to that.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Given that the stars are trying to teach you some sort of new lessons, you will somewhat be bound to spend a lot of time with your family and this will probably make you understand a thing or two about them.

Maybe something you have been ignoring lately or something you weren’t even aware of up until now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are counting too much on what is being said to you and contrary to your usual self you don’t really bother checking what you are being told.

This will put some road blocks ahead for you and even those around, when you will ask them for help will probably tell you that you should’ve been more careful about all this.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Quite a complicated end of the working week for you with some things that require closure in the office as well as some hopes you might have for the weekend.

In respect to that you need to arm yourself with a lot of patience because it seems that not everything will go according to plan especially when you are making the plans.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are set to achieve something this Friday but not even you are sure where you are heading.

Whether you’ve taken on a task that you haven’t fully understood or just feel like doing anything, you still need to have a plan and a destination and it might be wise to put this on hold until you figure these first before things get too complicated.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The current disposition is going to add a lot of charm to your overall impression but this doesn’t mean you don’t have to control yourself.

Although you are charming, being rude will still show up so I would suggest you temper any outing you might have if something is not how you like it; and chances are something like this will happen.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The current disposition is going to get all the romance out and you will prefer to put your feelings on the table, regardless of the risk.

This is a bold move from you and you are probably going to feel it as one and even be quite proud about what you are doing. More importantly, maybe you should take a look at how your feelings are received than at yourself.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It seems that those in your family, especially your partner are more concerned with your health than you are and although they have been sending all kinds of prompts, you have been blatantly ignoring them.

And it seems they consider other options right now so you won’t probably be able to get away from all the nagging too easily.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You need to think highly of someone you might be ignoring at the moment and to try and spend more time in their company.

You never know what you can discover or the lessons life might have to teach you through that person. So leave the shell of superficiality aside for some time and take a look closer to what you have around.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The current disposition is going to get you out there, maybe not even with enough preparation but you will be just fine.

Although you might still be critical of yourself, the overall conclusion will be that you are an all right person and that you are doing your best. So maybe you should listen to those around you more, before building your own conclusions.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might want to write this date somewhere and enjoy it thoroughly because no clouds will be on your emotional sky and this is something to really treasure, especially given the instability you have been swimming in lately.

Single natives are also going to benefit from the perks of their situation and mingle with some new people.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This Friday is kind of set to teach you a thing or two about being humble and about accepting you are wrong.

And even about the right way to make amends in the office setting, as it seems that the place where you will need to retract something will be at work. Don’t consider this a hit in your ego because it is anything but that.

One Meaning for Blessed Be

From moonlitpriestess.com

Blessed be:

Phrase generally indicating blessings upon a person, object, etc. (example “blessed by thy feet’); frequently used at the end of prayers and the like similarly to “amen” from Christian-based practices. Some Wiccans and Pagans report using the phrase as a greeting or parting. (see also Merry Meet and Merry Part)

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

I know many different traditions of witchcraft and The Old Ways read this blog and I am truly grateful for you all. I felt the need to share this and the full Rede will be posted later this morning. As I am not fully Wiccan but an Eclectic witch, I changed the name of the Rede for myself to the Wicce Rede. Why Wicce? Wicce is an old English word meaning wise woman. I consider myself a wise woman not only when it comes to The Craft but also when dealing with other people my family included. On my birthday I tell people I am 1 year wiser not older Ok this might sound like I am boosting but it is a positive affirmation I had to use for more almost two decade that I stay in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship.

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.
