Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 5 AM to 10:45 AM EST today (2 AM to 7:45 AM PST). After that, the Moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

The Stars Rate Your Day

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Professional and business concerns are your focus today. Nevertheless, be aware that your personal life is on public display more than usual and you might find difficult to conceal certain facts about yourself. Be careful about blurring the distinction between your professional and personal relationships today.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

**** Today you have a strong urge to “get away from all this.” Travel and an opportunity to do something different will appeal. You might meet new friends from other cultures and different countries. It’s a good day to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** Today your emotional experiences will be more intense than usual. Likewise, your emotional encounters with others will be memorable! You might also find that you want something that belongs to someone else so you feel envious in some way. (It happens.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. It’s no biggie, really. It simply means you have to be accommodating and preferably, friendly, which is your style anyway. Enjoy socializing!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

*** Home and family are your primary focus today. Fortunately, you’re bursting with energy because fiery Mars is now in your sign giving you physical drive and assertion. You might have to put the emotional considerations of someone else before your own today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** This is a busy, fast-paced time for you! You’re eager to schmooze with others. You’re also eager to learn as well as share your ideas. It’s difficult for you to conceal your feelings today, which is why you are exuberant, especially in social situations and romance. Don’t hesitate to entertain.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** Your schmooze factor is high with both Mercury and Venus in your House of Communications. Nevertheless, today you want to retire and relax in familiar surroundings. It’s time to reflect on your values and examine what your possessions. Do they serve your needs or do you serve theirs?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

**** It’s a strong day for you because the Sun is in your sign and the Moon is in your House of Communications. You’re pumped! Furthermore, fiery Mars is at the top of your chart arousing your ambition. (No moss growing on you!) This is an exciting day and you have a lot to say.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Contradictory influences are at play today. In one way, you want to run away and hide. Nevertheless, both Mercury and Venus in your sign make you talkative and charming! Find a comfy perch to survey your realm and share your views.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

**** Today the Moon is in your sign, which will make you excitable. Fortunately, it will also tend to boost your good fortune, which is why things will tend to go your way. This is a popular time for you. Enjoy the company of others!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

**** With the Sun high in your chart, you make a fabulous impression on everyone. And yet, the Moon is hiding today, which means you have mixed feelings about your public persona. Nevertheless, interactions with younger, creative people will be rewarding.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** This is an exciting day! You’re keen to do something different so that you can expand your world. Your interactions with a female friend or acquaintance might be significant today. You will also impress important people and bosses with your words and your style.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Tilda Swinton (1960) shares your birthday today. You are charming and adaptable. You are also introspective and socially skilled. You’re excellent with words. This is a year of service for you, especially to family, which means it’s important to take care of yourself so you can be a support. Might this be time for a makeover?

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are underestimating people you are working with and what this does is put an even bigger strain on your worries. You need to delegate certain actions and have fate that things will sort themselves out eventually.

By doing so, not only you will have more time to practice your own role but you might also be in for a pleasant surprise. Other than this, less caprice and more refrain will do you good.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Not everything is about you so try not to be paranoid in social gatherings, especially at work. Yes, people can be cruel and they probably gossiped about you at some point or another but there is no need for you to keep this in mind all the time.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You seem to be quite cold blooded and calculated this Tuesday and although for you this will ensure everything runs smoothly and you have no misunderstandings or troubles to attend to, for those around you, it will create a totally different impression.

They will believe you are only after gain and that you are willing to overstep anything to reach that point, even other’s efforts and feelings.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This Tuesday will be a day of consequences and of truths and although you might now expect to be the one to suffer them it seem that you will be the inquisitive one and the one to force others to accept their faults.

This will probably rise from your own suspicions towards your family and you will try to push everything towards the edge, remembering events and trying to piece certain actions and gestures together.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A difficult day, a day of conflict for all natives who don’t know where to stop. It might be a day of legal quarrel for some while others will try to solve their issues in private, however, with a lot of noise and consequences.

Be careful to what you agree to, accept to make compromise but don’t turn this into the whole result.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are in a soft spot in one of your relationships, most likely with a friend and you don’t really know how to get away from this complicated issue, without hurting anyone but also without making any personal compromises.

The first part of the day will prove the hardest to endure with all kinds of thoughts flying right at you but eventually you will clarify some of them and won’t feel as this is something you really need to sort right away.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

No one was hurt by a bit of caution and no matter how much you might be feeling you are loosing, it’s actually something you can win if you refrain yourself from any temptations and risk.

If you succumb to them, you might have a bit of temporary fun and that’s it but if you keep your head high, you might actually get a sense of self accomplishment and pride.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It won’t take you long today to figure out that by using your charm you can not only sugar coat your way into certain solutions for some existing troubles but you might also gain some unexpected benefits.

This means that this Tuesday will probably transform itself into a hunt for good things and that you will probably end up in quite a manipulative state, ready to say or do anything to convince others to follow you.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your house will be central to your thoughts today as you crave for some sort of change but at the same time try to do something without spending too much money.

This might also mean that you will resort to some diy, something to keep you busy during those spare hours in the afternoon but also at work, trying to browse the best ideas.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It will take you a while today to really understand the influence someone has had and maybe still has on you and maybe you will have to go through some sort of conflict with someone dear before you can really open your eyes.

The trouble with you sometimes is that you are so very stubborn with certain people, usually those who love you most and allow you anything and then, with others you tend to let yourself manipulated if they hit your soft spot.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The current disposition will allow you some time to pay your debts and regroup yourself but then if you do it again, you will probably receive a harsher punishment.

It is time for some natives to be a lot more responsible and think of the future rather than avoid it, something they have been doing successfully in the past. Stop yourself from buying things you don’t need, especially today when the temptation is so big.

Spell For Tuesday – Ritual for Success

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

This ritual is customizable according to the kind of goal you would like to achieve.

Sometimes we feel ‘weakened’ by the many obstacles that seem to arise in our life, often making it difficult; sometimes everything seems complicated and difficult. And so, we need something ‘special’ to go back to being the lions and lionesses who conquer their own lives!

When we want to feel stronger and when we want to change the energies around us in order to increase the positive possibilities, this simple ritual can help. It is to be done on Tuesdays at noon solar time and at one summertime (specifically: at noon, you must light the candles, which will have been prepared according to the method described by the preparation of candles, minutes or hours before, depending on the time you have available).

The goal of this ritual was to restore winning energies around the person in question (but, as you know, you can do it for yourself; in this case, choose a stone that is significant for you, even crystal, after having purified it as I did).

The candles should be loaded (read the page on how to load the candles if you don’t know how) before the ritual.

You can also read more about success spells here.

The arrangement of the candles is:

White candle in the north, yellow candle in the center, and orange (or red) candle at the bottom. You will be seated behind the red candle.

Since the goal of this ritual was to increase the life force of the person in question so that it attracts positive or successful situations and events, there aren’t any specific words we can use.

I wrote two lines specific to the situation and recited them aloud like the other spells.

Like this:

  1. as the white candle burns, I become more and more protected from the light
  2. as the yellow candle burns, I get stronger and stronger (or: I am successful in…)
  3. as the red (or orange) candle burns, I get stronger and stronger (or: I am successful in…)

Type of candles to use:

As you can see, I used very low candles; now that I have the experience, I work with almost all types of candles; if I use these bases, I always purify/load them by first removing them from the metal casing and, once loaded, putting them back in the casing.

If you use candles in glass cups you have to do the same thing (load them by removing them from the glass), so I almost never use them in glass cups (I find that they are difficult to extract).

Regarding the ideal timing for this type of ritual, I would say it would be this:

Unless you perform rituals that last seven days, using larger candles than the ones shown here doesn’t make sense (they would last too long).

Generally (but, as you can see from my example above, not always!)

I use ‘naked’ candles (like the ones next to them), without metal or glass enclosures. But, as I said, it doesn’t matter, as long as they are prepared (consecrated and loaded) without the wrapping.

If you use high-quality candles, they should burn completely; otherwise, there will be leftovers (you burn the whole candle, but sometimes there is some ‘melted’ wax around): these should be put in a hidden place in the house or in a place where you often go if it is a matter of propitiatory rites (positive); otherwise, as you know, the remnants of the rites to eliminate obstacles and specific negativities must be buried far from home.

The Principles of Witchcraft Belief c.2018

 

The Principles of Witchcraft Belief

 

In the spring Witch meet held April 1974 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, The Council of American Witches adopted this statement entitled “The Principles of Wiitchcraft Beliefs.”

Of course Wiitchcraft Beliefs can vary from this from area to area, coven to coven and individual to individual there is no strict tenet laid down by a central council, this is just one particular bodies ideas.

Principles Outlined

1: We practice rites to attune ourselves with the natural rhythm of life forces marked by the phases of the Moon and the seasonal Quarters and Cross Quarters.

2: We recognize that our intelligence gives us a unique responsibility toward our environment. We seek to live in harmony with Nature, in ecological balance offering fulfillment and consciousness within an evolutionary concept.

3: We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than that apparent to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary it is sometimes called supernatural, but we see it as lying within that which is naturally potential to all.

4: We conceive of the Creative Power in the universe as manifesting through polarity ~as masculine and feminine~ and that this same Creative Power lies in all people, and functions through the interaction of the masculine and feminine. We value neither above the other, knowing each to be supportive to each other. We value sex as pleasure, as the symbol and embodiment of life, and as one of the sources of energies used in magickal practice and religious worship.

5: We recognize both outer worlds and inner, or psychological, worlds sometimes known as the Spiritual World, the Collective Unconscious, Inner Planes, etc. ~and we see in the interaction of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal phenomena and magickal exercises. We neglect neither dimension for the other, seeing both as necessary for our fulfillment.

6: We do not recognize any authoritarian hierarchy, but do honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given of themselves in leadership.

7: We see religion, magick, and wisdom in living as being united in the way one views the world and lives within it ~a world view and philosophy of life which we identify as Witchcraft~ The Wiccan Way .

8: Calling oneself “Witch” does not make a Witch, but neither does heredity itself, not the collecting of titles, degrees, and initiations. A Witch seeks to control the forces within her/himself that make life possible in order to live wisely and well without harm to others and in harmony with Nature.

9: We believe in the affirmation and fulfillment of life in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness giving meaning to the Universe we know and our personal role within it.

10: Our only animosity towards Christianity, or towards any other religion or philosophy of life, is to the extent that its institutions have claimed to be “the only way,” and have sought to deny freedom to others and to surpress other ways of religious practice and belief.

11: As American Witches, we are not threatened by debates on the history of the Craft, the origins of various terms, the legitimacy of various aspects of different traditions. We are concerned with our present and our future.

12: We do not accept the concept of absolute evil, nor do we worship any entity known as Satan or the Devil, as defined by the Christian tradition. We do not seek power through the sufferings of others, nor accept that personal benefit can be derived only by denial to another.

13: We believe that we should seek within Nature that which is contributory to our health and well-being.
