Moon Alert

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

The Stars Rate Your Day

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

** Cut yourself some slack today. You might not get a lot done, and the same goes for others. Easy does it. For starters, you might feel fatigued. Plus, escapist behaviour, daydreaming and avoiding responsibilities will be classic. “Let’s slip out the back, Jack.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

* This is a poor day to make important financial decisions especially about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt or mortgages because there will be a lack of clarity. Issues might be confusing. Postpone these important negotiations for another day.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

* Beware of deception today. (And this includes plain old kidding yourself.) The Sun is opposite your sign and it is challenged by Neptune, which can make you doubt your decisions. It can also attract dubious people to you. Be careful.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

** Double check your work today because errors are likely. Confusion can be the result of issues that are unclear. You might not receive the correct information, or you might misinterpret it. Many things might happen. This same fogginess can apply to your health.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

* This is a confusing day for romance because people are indecisive and easily disillusioned. Ironically, they are also sensitive, as well as full of self-doubt and confusion. Parents should be extra vigilant of their kids, especially with respect to poisons, gas and water accidents.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

* This is a poor day to ask parents or an older member of the family who might be an authority figure for permission or advice because everything is foggy. People are confused, tired and drained. Deception is possible. Postpone important decisions for another day when you have more clarity.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

** Today you might be uncertain about the direction of things or you might even doubt your own decisions. You might also be unsure if relatives, neighbours and siblings are telling you the truth. Maybe they don’t grasp the whole picture? Or maybe they don’t understand you?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

** Your wise choice today is to postpone important financial decisions. That’s because there is a lack of clarity, the possibility of deception, confused communications and plain old lazy thinking that might get you in trouble. Do your homework but make these decisions or expenditures another day.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

* As unusual as it sounds, today it’s easy to have a blurred self-identity. You’re not sure about what you believe or think? Or you might find yourself oscillating back and forth between different decisions. Many people feel this way today. Just tread water. Don’t act.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

** Today it’s hard to know if you are being idealistic or escapist. It’s easy to avoid responsibilities today because of lack of energy and confusion. You might even feel overwhelmed by issues. If so, do something to ground yourself. Go for a walk. Postpone major decisions. Take it easy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

** Be careful if you’re talking to friends and members of groups, especially if someone is coming on with their own personal propaganda. Don’t be suckered in. It’s important to think for yourself; however, today this will be difficult to do. Protect yourself by postponing decisions and money matters for another day.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

* Relations with parents, bosses and authority figures including the police will be fuzzy and confusing today. It’s not you. It’s just the way things are today. Knowing this ahead of time, do not react. Do not act. Do not follow through on anything that seems a bit far-fetched. People are prone to make poor decisions today. Stay chill.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Brad Pitt (1963) shares your birthday today. You are a leader and others respect you. You’re idealistic, playful and sometimes stubborn. This has been a fun-loving year for you. However, you are headed into a year of work, building and construction – both externally and internally. Simplicity will be the key. Explore exercise, martial arts or yoga.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your life has started to move in quite an alert rhythm or maybe this is what you feel because some important deadlines might be piling up.

You are on a good track through as you are interacting with a lot of people and appreciate their company and advice. With a bit more wisdom in how you invest your energy you will get through this.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This Wednesday will highlight once again what a great social companion you are but will also put another brick onto that narcissistic attitude of yours.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Working in a group and in tight collaborations is going to be the highlight of this Wednesday although you will not be very happy once you hear the news about all this in the morning.

As the day goes by, you tend to see the good side in most of it and just try to get along. Overall you are going to be in a good mood during the day.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Totally unlike your usual self you are taking way too many precautions ad wasting too much time trying to make the safe choices.

While it might sound as something serious to do at work, in your personal life you might want to have better priorities at this point. You are enticed by new ideas and visions but maybe you are just too scared to put them in practice.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

In your attempt to get as further as possible from routine activities you seem to have overlooked a very important aspect, the connections of said activities with the general route of your life and with your responsibilities.

We can’t all act like teenagers and expect for everyone else to fix our messes and then just forget whatever happened.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are somewhat expecting a consistent reward for something you have done and while some natives might be receiving something in the area of what they are expecting, some others are going to be terribly disappointed.

But at a closer look on the whole situation you might see that it kind of is selfish from your side to actually expect anything.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A vocational day so don’t be scared to show what talents you have. Life might offer you an official chance to do it but who says you can’t do it in your circle of friends.

Could be a great occasion for laughs but also for a general relaxing atmosphere. You are also benefiting from an interesting dose of popularity so this might be your chance.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don’t go searching for undeserved rewards because this day is all about work or at least real effort. This sure slams a big door in front of any games based on luck but leaves you with enough space to pursue ideas.

There is no need to be something that involves actual work, even talent can be put into something income triggering.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are talking way too much about your sentimental life, maybe not even with the most appropriate persons and you are actually overlooking some aspects.

It’s true that the stars might benefit you a bit if they see you trying, but being all gossipy about what you are doing in private won’t really get you any rewards at the moment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are going to put a lot of accent on the importance of pursuing your dreams but maybe you are not really in the position to practice what you preach so this will only remind you of where you stand and make you even bitterer.

The stars on the other hand want to cheer you up so don’t refuse any invitation to some entertainment tonight.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

An inspired Wednesday during which you will probably see things in a completely different light than you usually do.

A surprising rekindled ability to read between the lines will help you get far in your social relationships but you are still craving for more. A good day to show your loved one how much you care for them and do something nice.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are definitely making a lot of noise for nothing this Wednesday and you should temper yourself or at least don’t make this a social affair.

While work might be going just fine, it sure gives you too much free time to obsess over certain insecurities you think you have and then take it all on people you know accept such things from you.

Spell For Thursday – Ancestral Money Draw Spell

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

Ancestral Money Draw Spell

Description

While the moon is waxing (moving from new to full) it is the perfect time to perform prosperity magic. We want to bring things into our lives during this moon cycle, and who doesn’t want a little extra money.

As the saying goes, sometimes you have to spend money to make money. This spell requires a few ingredients but packs a powerful punch, calling upon the ancestors for aid. Feel free to purchase only the necessary products, customize it to your will or perform the spell in it’s entirety.

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

A 7 day candle jar and a green 7 day pillar candle

Prosperity Oil

A jar of Money Draw Herbal Blend

A lucky horseshoe

Ancestor Money

A jar of Magnet Attraction Sachet Powder

A roll of charcoal pucks

a Pyrite stone

HOW TO PERFORM:

Begin by cleansing your empty jar with some sage smoke and your candle by running it under cold water for 30 seconds. Take 3 full breaths while holding your candle and visualize money and prosperity flowing effortlessly into your life. Connect with your intention deeply, use all your senses. Breathe your intention onto your candle 3 times and whisper your intention.

To dress your candle first choose a symbol or create a sigil for prosperity. The dollar sign works like a charm. Carve your symbol or sigil and your intention onto your candle. Next run the prosperity oil over top of your candle. Move in a clockwise direction from the top to the bottom to draw prosperity to you. Finally apply the money draw herbal blend to your oiled candle. Once your candle is fully dressed and charged place your candle in a fire safe container on your altar.

Write down that which you want to draw into your life onto your ancestor money. Be specific, ask for a precise amount of money and if it’s to pay bills don’t forget to include when you need it by. Offer the money to your ancestors for their help. Call them by name and make sure to give them an offering they like.

Place your ancestor money under your candle on your altar. Continue by placing the lucky horseshoe around your candle so that it sits in the ring of luck. Don’t forget to charge the horseshoe with your intention. Light your candle stating your intention while doing so.

In a fire proof bowl, on top of a bed of sand or salt, light your charcoal puck. place a scoop of magnet attraction sachet powder onto the lit puck and allow the incense to surround your spell. Inhale it and feel rich from the inside out. After the spell you can also place some of the powder in your wallet and sprinkle it onto your money.

Take your pyrite stone and anoint it in the magnet attraction smoke. For an added bonus anoint it with your prosperity oil. Hold it in your dominant hand and spend 10-30 minutes focusing on your intention. Feel yourself financially rich. When you are ready, safely take your ancestor money and light it from your candle and burn it knowing with certainty that your ancestors will come to your aid.

Take some time to divine any messages your candle flame has to offer. Candle flames can indicate possible blocks or results of your spell depending on the way it is burning.

Allow the candle to burn out then dispose of your spell work. This can be over several days. Carry the pyrite stone on your for and extra boost of prosperity. Lastly, don’t forget to offer your ancestors some of their favourite treats. Tobacco, tea, beer, cookies work depending on their preference.

Spell For Wednesday – A TALISMAN FOR CRYSTAL CLEAR COMMUNICATION

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

A TALISMAN FOR CRYSTAL CLEAR COMMUNICATION

This crystal magic spell can help you improve communication at work, at home, or even online.

One of the easiest ways to work crystal magic is to charge a small stone with a particular intention and then keep it with you as you go about your day. These talismans are especially effective for situations that feel challenging or intimidating. This spell is intended for any situation in which you need to communicate something important, such as a job interview, a business meeting, a serious discussion with your partner, or even working out agreements with roommates regarding bills or chores.

Lapis lazuli is considered “a stone of truth,” helping you communicate honestly and effectively, both with others and with yourself. Its name comes from Latin and Persian and means “blue stone.” Blue is the color of the throat chakra, associated with the ability to express your true voice. It can also protect against negative words or thoughts from others, returning that energy to its source. It stimulates intuition, helping you to sense the best words to use with others. With a charged lapis stone in your pocket, you will have more confidence and peace of mind in any potentially challenging conversation.

Adding amethyst and/or clear quartz to the altar when charging your lapis will “boost” the energy of the spell, but this isn’t strictly necessary for your talisman to be effective. (Read more about the magical properties of crystals.)

You will need:

1 piece lapis lazuli

1 or more amethyst and/or clear quartz crystal pieces (optional)

1 white or yellow candle

Instructions for this crystal magic spell:

Place the amethyst and/or quartz, if using, in front of the candle and light the wick. Hold the lapis lazuli in both hands. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths. Visualize yourself feeling relieved and satisfied with the results of the conversation. See the positive energy of this feeling flowing from your hands into the stone, while speaking the following (or similar) affirmation:

“I communicate clearly and effectively from the essence of my true self.”

When you sense that the stone has been sufficiently charged, place the stone near the amethyst/clear quartz and leave it with the candle burning for at least one hour. It is now ready to assist you with your discussion.

19 December 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for December 19th, 2024 is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 17.48 days old and 86% illuminated with a tilt of -38.666°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 387,348.65 km and the moon sign is Leo.

The Moon phase for December 19th, 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.
