Beltane

Beltane

Beltane’s energy is about sexuality, beauty, and manifestation. Make aphrodisiacs, love charms, and potions during this sabbat. Charm your beauty products and makeup and adding botanicals that can boost their magickal properties. Make charms manifesting your goals. Leave them in your wallet, your car, or even every room in your house. Soak orange peels in white vinegar for two weeks, strain, and add the same amount of Moon-blessed water as the vinegar to a bottle. Use it as a mirror cleanser so that whenever you look at your reflection, you see your inner and outer beauty reflected back on you. Make rosewater to add to your laundry wash to imbue your clothes with passionate energies. Put away your winter blankets and clothes. Tuck sachets of cloves, rosemary, and thyme in with them to keep them safe and to ward off moths until you need them again. Place carnelian in any space where you want more passionate energy to reside.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a  Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

The Waning Crescent on October 29 has an illumination of 7%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today until 11:30 PM EDT (8:30 PM to 10 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** There’s an element of confusion today, which means your best option is to work hard. Keep your head down and your powder dry. Postpone important money decisions, especially about how to share or divide something for another day because you might give away the farm.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

*** This is a tricky day! In an effort to keep someone happy, especially someone like a boss or parent, you might make a questionable decision. Trust your gut instincts. If something feels fishy, it is. Don’t fall for sob story today. Get your facts.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** This is not an ideal day to make important financial decisions because you might have the wrong information; or someone might lie to you. Even partners and close friends might be difficult to read. Think for yourself today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Somebody might try to talk you into something today. (Ironically, you might also do this to yourself.) Meanwhile, romance is promising but perhaps confusing? When dealing with kids, social situations and sports events, get your facts. Know what’s happening. Be clear about things.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** You might want to help a family member today or someone in need. By nature, you’re a generous sign, so you will probably be ready to step up to the plate. However, it’s important to make sure you know what you’re doing. Do not act until you have information you can trust.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** Today it’s easy to act on issues because of wishful thinking. But do you really have the facts? Or are you just trying to talk yourself into something? Ironically, family and relatives might not be able to help because of their own limitations. It’s a tricky day!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** If you’re dealing with financial matters or shopping, be careful because wishful thinking might lead you down the garden path. For example, you might spend too much money on luxurious items and then later regret it. (The devil made me do it!) Don’t try to “keep up” with someone. Be true to yourself.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

**** Wishful thinking is rampant today. Sometimes wishful thinking is a good thing because it opens new doors and pushes us to new achievements. However, at other times, wishful thinking leads to unrealistic choices and regrets. Make sure you know what you’re doing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Hidden secrets and confusion might make it difficult for you to make wise decisions about shared property, banking and how to work with the resources of someone else. Ask yourself if what you do might lead to future regret? If you’re not sure what to do – do nothing. Wait a day.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

**** This is a popular time for you! You’re interacting with others, especially younger people. However, if you feel that someone is not being honest with you – listen to this warning in your head. There’s a strong element of confusion present everywhere today. Keep your eyes and ears open.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** Be clear with authority figures today if asked to do something, especially if you’re doubtful. Make sure you know what others expect of you. Furthermore, if someone wants you to do something that’s against your principles – stand up for yourself. Be true to your beliefs.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** Your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, which is why you will enjoy galleries, beautiful stores, arts and crafts, and the creations of others. Nevertheless, if spending money, think twice before you part with your hard-earned cash.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Julia Roberts (1968) shares your birthday today. You’re intelligent, and a natural explorer. You’re independent and you think for yourself. This is the first year of a new nine-year cycle for you, which brings new beginnings, adventures and major changes. Keep your eyes open for new opportunities and be ready to act. Prepare for leadership.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are quite interested in spirituality and concerned about what is coming next in your life. Therefore you are trying to research about yourself and the meanings of your decisions.

You are attracted to symbolism and try to get in touch with people who practice this but this might prove to be more than difficult at this time.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It seems that your wish to be in the spotlight is starting to reveal itself again but this time you are not really willing to fight for it.

This is why you will try to make your attributes shine and stay out of the crowd but at the same time you are not willing to move more than a finger. Some exciting news might make you change your mind.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It seems that creativity is going to be one of your fortes during this Monday but on the other hand, the more space you leave to these ideas, the harder it is going to be for you to catch a grip on reality.

Therefore the challenge of the day for you will be to try and find a balance to what you are imagining and what you actually have to do.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Prudence should be the word of the day for you as it seems you benefit from too much energy for your own good.

Small accidents and injuries might be of the ordinary today although you are going to pay attention. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you can succumb to fate and wait for it to happen but there is a component you can’t control and you need to be aware of that.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You can count on the stars to give you a lot of work if you want to fill your day and be active but at the same time you won’t be too inspired.

Therefore you will probably find it easier to tackle tasks that are focused on numbers and on strict guidelines rather than tasks where you are allowed to devise your own strategies.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your expectations are way too high in regards to your love life and you want more from your partner than you are actually doing yourself.

If you don’t align this chances are conflict will rise and the stars won’t be there to support you on that. Don’t start any kind of sensible conversation if you don’t know where you want to get with it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your loved one will either prepare a nice surprise for you or will try to take your relationship further and you might be surprised by how fast things are moving.

Calibrate your reaction and understand where he or she stands because otherwise your reaction might be misinterpreted and you risk falling in another extreme.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are trying to appear as serious and balanced as you can in front of your family in order to impose more respect.

It seems that this is your actual quest for the day and what you want to obtain from them. While the stars might support this maturity outburst, you might want to show a little patience with those around who might be taken by surprise.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A difficult time for those natives who are still pretending to live their life carefree and even be a little childish at times.

It seems that this current disposition is set to mature everyone who is not really accepting the passage of time. Some difficulty might be faced especially in terms of relations with friends and people of same age.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your intuition might lead you up until one point and why not admit that you will be quite proud about this but unfortunately there is also a boundary that won’t be passed.

Therefore you need not let arrogance and a sense of too much confidence take over you because once these are over you will really be on your own.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You seem to benefit from the help of some good allies at home but you don’t even realize it yet.

Therefore when it is time to talk and mingle do that without asking anything for in return because you will benefit from this attitude later. Also, work your mind as you tend to be quite innovative and inspired during this period.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You need to try a positive approach if you want people to react to what you are asking them to do, especially at work.

So avoid being despotic and try to sugar coat your way into those plans. At the same time, try face to face communication rather the practical but cold messaging. You have chances to meet your targets fairly easy.
