The Stars Rate Your Day

Aries (March 21-April 19)
*** Discussions with parents, bosses and VIPs will be productive today because you’re in a practical frame of mind, in addition to which, you’re eager to create a good impression. (Relax – you will.) However, privately you might feel a bit lonely or cut off from others today. This feeling is brief.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
**** This is an excellent day to study something that requires focus and attention to detail because you have this in spades today. For example, you will easily handle all the details of booking travel plans. Legal and medical discussions will go well. Someone older or more experienced might help you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
*** Discussions and work about shared property, taxes, debt, mortgages or insurance issues can be dealt with today because you’re in a practical frame of mind, and you won’t overlook details. You will impress others with your homework. (People know information about you today.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
*** This is a productive day for you. Even though retrograde Mars is in your sign, you will accomplish a lot because you’re motivated to do so. You’ll also be thrifty in negotiations with others. Meanwhile, romance will be affectionate. It might lead to discussions of commitment or shared responsibilities.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
*** Discussions with partners and close friends are serious today, possibly even discouraging. They might relate to sports events, social outings or the care and education of children. People might be foisting their opinions on you? Well, it never hurts to listen.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
*** Discussions with parents or older family members regarding your home or a family situation might take place today. Or perhaps you will explore a real-estate opportunity or a residential move? Certainly, these considerations are serious. Fortunately, you’ll do your homework.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
**** This is an excellent day to learn or study something new because you have focus, concentration and mental perseverance. Furthermore, you will handle detail-oriented work with skill. Meanwhile, children might be an increased responsibility today. This is also a good day to practice or hone a technique.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
*** You will be conservative about your finances today, which is why if shopping, you will choose to buy practical, long-lasting items. Furthermore, you will be serious about how you earn your money and how you handle your belongings. (Something at home might discourage you.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
**** You’ll be effective in everything you do today because the Sun is in your sign dancing with your ruler Saturn. Furthermore, the Moon is lined up with your ruler Saturn, which means it’s a strong Capricorn day! Don’t be too serious. Stay positive. Keep smiling.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
*** Financial matters might be discouraging. (Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money?) Nevertheless, whatever you do today, you will do carefully with planning. It’s an excellent day to research anything or look for answers because your mind is focused and you won’t overlook anything.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
*** The Moon is in your sign today lined up with Saturn, which can make you serious about life, even discouraged. (You’re humming the Song of the Volga Boatmen.) However, an older friend or a member of a group might be supportive and helpful to you today. Certainly, they might have advice for you to consider.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Graham McTavish (1961) shares your birthday today. You’re hard-working, organized and empathetic. You’re supportive to friends and loved ones. This year will bring you exciting changes that will give you increased freedom in your life! Learn to be more flexible and let go of whatever holds you back. Be ready to act fast when opportunities arise.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You are under a permanent comparison fight with people around and you can’t really see that this is damaging for your self esteem.
The tendency is to overlook whatever you have done and to overestimate the abilities of others. You might want to stay away from these thoughts the following days because they won’t get you to anything good.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
One of your friends is going to help you to obtain some clarity in respect to a decision you keep postponing or might be able to put you in contact with an important person.
Of course this will help you avoid some unnecessary struggles but don’t bet all your money on this meeting taking place because there is nothing set in stone.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
An entertaining day for those natives who’ve been working hard for the past days and who not only have nothing important to do or any errands to run but might also have some reasons to celebrate.
So do spend that well deserved time with your friends and see where this takes you. You are protected these days so might as well enjoy them.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Even prohibited things might actually help you grow and improve so don’t be so reluctant in trying new things, although of course I am not referring to anything that might damage your health or integrity.
The advice for you is to not be as risk adverse and cautious as you usually are when it comes to situations in which your family is also involved.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This Saturday should be spent in a family setting and maybe it is up to you to make an effort on that. However, there are some things you can freely delegate while you occupy yourself with your own chores so don’t feel pressured too much.
You have the potential to solve some issues that have been lingering around for a while and you just need to open the talk.
Check every day your Leo Daily Horoscope.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You have associated with people who are not really following the same goals as you and maybe this is why you are now finding it hard to relate to them.
The worst is yet to come for those natives who did this in personal matters because they are the ones who will have most to suffer. Try to see the other persons’ perspective before you comment though.
Check every day your Virgo Daily Horoscope.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are overly dedicated to your plans this Saturday and perhaps this is exactly where the troubles are going to arise from today.
Maybe you should be more flexible when it comes to what you set yourself to do and accept that even weekends have a limited amount of hours and you need to also make a provision for the unexpected happening.
Check every day your Libra Daily Horoscope.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are setting up some useless boundaries between you and people from your family and although you think you are doing this to protect your nerves from endless discussions, what you are doing is actually creating a space between you and them.
Some things just need to be taken as they are and this sometimes applies to family talks as well.
Check every day your Scorpio Daily Horoscope.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You care too much about logic and just forget to live at times. It’s important to make things in the right sequence and to try and make as little mistakes as possible.
But not all things from work can be applied in your personal life as well. If you want, you can investigate some things more but then make sure you decide with your heart.
Check every day your Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This Saturday might offer you the occasion to set up some sort of romantic mood and express how you feel in a different way.
Of course this is an error proof method for those who are in a relationship or almost there. I would not advise you to use this in case you just trying to capture someone’s attention because you never know how they might react to this.
Check every day your Capricorn Daily Horoscope.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You are showing too much affection to a person who is not reciprocating this and this will make you have quite a hard time.
It’s not only because deep inside you feel you are investing in something that is not really happening but also because you don’t let yourself open to anything else that can happen. Don’t close your options this early.
Check every day your Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
A bigger or smaller error of judgment is going to cloud your understanding today and leave you a bit baffled by what is going on around.
Maybe it’s because you were to quick to make a decision and now you suffer the consequences or maybe it’s because you have no involvement in a decision and you went with what others chose for you.

Moon Phase
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Crescent Phase. Best seen in the west after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. This is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.
Visit the January 2025 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
Today’s Waxing Crescent Phase
The Waxing Crescent on January 4 has an illumination of 26%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On January 4 the Moon is 4.98 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.
Today’s Moon Sign: ♓ Pisces
The current zodiac moon sign is Pisces, positioned at 14.77° within the sign. The Moon entered Pisces on Jan 3, 4:24 AM and will shift into Aries on Jan 5, 1:36 PM. The zodiac moon sign represents the position of the Moon as it moves through the twelve signs of the zodiac. Each zodiac moon sign lasts about 2 to 2.5 days as the Moon travels through that part of the sky.

Illumination: 26%

5 January 2025 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for January 5th, 2025 is the Waxing Crescent phase.
On this day, the moon is 5.46 days old and 32.98% illuminated with a tilt of 107.742°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 371,661.34 km and the moon sign is Pisces.
The Moon phase for January 5th, 2025 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.

Spell For Tomorrow – Attract Love and Intimacy Bath
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. You can find the origin of the spell by clicking on the hyperlink.)
LOVE SPELL WARNING: Love spells such as this one take the person who you want to love you free will/spirit away. What happens with a spell like this is the person will become obsessed with you to the point of possibly losing their job, which in turn can make them lose their home, automobile, friends, their family, etc. I have heard of people under love spells dying from not eating or drinking when they are not in the presence of the spellcaster 24/7/365. So, unless you want some who only loves you because of a spell you put on them then go for it. But if you want someone to love you because they feel that emotion towards you then please do not do this spell. The same warning goes for animals, birds, reptiles, or anything else that has a heart and can create a bond with someone.
Attract Love & Intimacy Bath
Boost the intimacy and love you have in your life with our “Attract Love & Intimacy” bath spell. This spell is best performed on a Friday, the day ruled by the planet Venus and during a waxing moon (when the moon is moving from new to full). The energy of Venus governs the domain of love. We want to help you achieve the best results, using as many aligning correspondences as possible.
REQUIRED MATERIALS:
Taper Household Candles 6″ (Pink for plutonic, Red for passion)
HOW TO PERFORM:
Begin by cleaning your candle by running it under cold water for 30 seconds. Take 3 full breaths while holding your candle and visualize yourself happily surrounded by love and intimacy. Connect with your intention deeply, use all your senses. Breathe your intention onto your candle 3 times and whisper your intention.
Begin to prepare your candle by carving in symbols or create a sigil for love. Hearts, a cupids arrow, or whatever symbols represent love and intimacy for you works. Carve your intention onto your candle.
With your oil rub a thin layer over top of your talisman and your candle. Move in a clockwise direction from the top to the bottom to attract love in to your life. Anoint your heart and feel it full of happiness from the abundance of love in your life.
Once your anointed and your candle is fully dressed and charged place your candle in a fire safe container in your bathroom somewhere you can see it from your bathtub. Light your candle while repeating your intention for love out loud.
Draw your bath adding the patchouli bath salts into the warm water. Submerge a rose quartz stone for added love and attraction if you have one.
Spend 10-30 minutes in the bath deeply concentrating on the abundance of love you’re about to call into your life. Feel the love and joy in your life, sing to some of your favourite songs, read a book featuring a relationship you admire and want. This is your time, experience the luxury of your bath. Once your finished step out onto your floor full of the attraction for love and abundance you have in your body. Don’t forget to dispose of your candle in an ethical way.

Those ambitious, successful spells and charms will be heightened by working on the day of the week that has the planetary influence of the sun. So light those sunny candles, wear some luminous colors, and break out the gold jewelry! Bake up some cinnamon rolls or low-fat cinnamon muffins for an enchanting family breakfast.

Ellen Dugan
A Crossroads candle spell is used when you cannot choose the left fork in the road or the right. This spell is for MAJOR decisions like moving, career, etc. I would strongly not suggest this spell for a choice between two men or women.
CROSSROADS SPELL
1 white candle1 black candle
1 red candle A packet of Cornnuts (original recipe) Toasted Corn
21 caramels
1 small bottle of rum
three cigars (unwrapped)
Three stick matches
21 pennies
Write a letter to the spirit of the Crossroads and tell him the situation that you cannot decide or which road or path to choose. Lay it out in good detail which is which – meaning, what will happen if you choose this road and what will happen if you choose that path.
Go to a 4 way crossroads at 11:30 pm preferably on a Sunday night, but any night will do if you need it NOW. Place letter in center of a 4 way crossroads (must be 4 way) that extends beyond 7 blocks in each direction. Place three candles in a triangle shape on letter, surrounded by the 21 pennies. Lay one cigar each at base of the candle. Place one of each of the stick matches in between each candle. Place caramels and open pack of Cornnuts and pour in center. Take a good draw of the rum into your mouth, swish it around, spit it in a spray-like pattern over all. Set rest of open bottle of rum down on paper. Light candles and walk away.
Do not, do not,DO NOT look back or look into rear view mirror when driving away.
Accept what happens and where this takes you.

Inguz
The Viking rune for new beginnings is Inguz, which signifies rebirth and renewal, offering hope and guidance. It symbolizes potential, fertility, and the beginning of an entirely new cycle. This rune’s traditional interpretation is a reminder to take advantage of opportunities to make positive changes in life—to cast off old ways of thinking and behaving that are no longer productive or beneficial.
Inguz is also associated with making sound decisions based on intuition rather than logic alone. It encourages one to see the future more clearly instead of dwelling on the past. The message this rune brings is that while there may be setbacks or disappointments along the way, ultimately, it will lead to growth and abundance if we can focus our energy on making good choices consistently.
What’s the meaning of Inguz?…

The Black Rune
The Black Rune – Keywords: Difficulty, pain.
Meanings: This is a rune of difficultyand negative influences will rule your life for a time, but as all difficulties are a learning experience it will lead to improved personal perspective and progress on your life’s path. Always consult the surrounding runes with this stone. If it lies with a positive stone it indicates that the pain of this experience will lead to a beneficial change in circumstances.

Beith/Beth
Intention, beginnings, births, pioneer spirit
Birch (Betula spp.)
Letter: B
Well dignified: An intention with good potential. Bravery. Breaking free. Ending bad habits. Getting unstuck. The start of something good. A new way of thinking. An invention or fresh approach. The ability of getting outside yourself and fossilized modes of thinking. Breaking out of the box. Being the change instead of just talking about it.
Humans learn through mimesis, so it is only because of the brave souls willing to put their necks out for change that anything improves in the world. Beith indicates the willingness to follow through with an intention so you can change yourself and your world for the better. At first, it’s possible nobody will follow you, but Beith says you have the courage to get it done.
Every day is a new opportunity to become a better person than you were yesterday, no matter how tiny the improvement. What can you do, even if it is a tiny action or possibly inaction depending on the circumstance, to be kinder, braver, humbler, more honest with yourself, more generous, and more grateful than you were yesterday, last week, last year, or last decade?
Beith ill-dignified excess: Too many ideas
Confused and contrary intentions. The need to limit ideas or prevent a bad idea from coming to fruition. Being on the bleeding edge, not understanding consequences when you hurl yourself at a thing. An idea that is destined for failure, like going on a diet or attempting to get rich quick. Bitterness when you have a great idea that everybody rejects because you are the first person to do it; being too far ahead of your time. Possibly having a misguided, too vague, or even toxic intention that you’ve refused to examine the cold light of morning. Too many good ideas — a great problem to have, but you don’t have infinite time to pursue them all. Throw some in the fire.

Hexagram Three/3
Name: Chun.
Keyphrase: Problems At The Beginning.
Formed By The Trigrams: Water over Thunder.
General: The first step towards true learning is acknowledging your inexperience.
Love: Provided you learn from the problem you have encountered you will get past the current stumbling block.
Business: Assess your business honestly and see how you could do better business.
Personal: If you have hit a setback then make adjustments to your lifestyle and the setback will only be temporary.
Overview: Chun is a reminder that although problems may be encountered they are often only brief – just like a thunderstorm. And like the land that benefits from the extra rain you too can benefit provided you learn from what has happened. Once any obstacle has been surmounted then your project will have the chance to thrive. But you need to be wary of reckless action. Recognize misleading and corrupt influences and forge alliances with those that are trustworthy. You are most at risk if you let your ignorance blind you to how much you have to learn.
Numerology

Thirty-Three
See “The Master number 33.” Capable of reaching a high level of consciousness and wisdom, its ultimate potential is in teaching teachers. It comforts others, represents self-sacrifice, and is an idealist. When not living up to its potential, it’s co-dependent, tends to bend the truth, and is arrogant.
