(One Person’s View) How to Write a Successful Spell
Ever wondered what makes a spell truly work? Is it the tools, the timing, or maybe just a sprinkle of magic belief? Writing a spell can feel like stepping into a mysterious world filled with possibilities, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. If you’ve got an open heart, a clear mind, and a dash of creativity, you’re already halfway there. Think of it as crafting a recipe for your soul—a little bit of this, a pinch of that, and voilà!
Spells aren’t just about waving a wand or chanting in a forest (though, let’s be honest, that’s pretty cool too). At their core, they’re about connecting with the energies around you and channeling them toward your goals. Whether you’re manifesting good vibes, warding off negativity, or just trying to make your houseplants thrive, every spell starts with intention and a little bit of know-how.
And guess what? You don’t need to be a seasoned witch to write a successful spell. All you need is a desire to create change, some basic understanding of the magical process, and the willingness to give it a go. Ready to start crafting your spell? Let’s break it down step by step!

Congratulations! You’ve just created a spell that’s uniquely yours. Writing a successful spell isn’t about perfection—it’s about intention, connection, and a little bit of trust in the unknown. Remember, magic is a journey, not a destination. Keep practicing, experimenting, and learning from your experiences.
And who knows? Your next spell might just be the one to bring a little extra sparkle into your life—or someone else’s. ?
(One Person’s View) How to Write Spells and Improve Your Witchcraft
Many experienced witches find themselves constantly running up against the confines of other peoples spells. Perhaps you’re never able to find the spell that’s just right, that feels tailored to your purpose. Or maybe you’ve become very comfortable working with your personal set of tools and ingredients but spells regularly call for things that you don’t have (and don’t care to have!) while underutilizing those items that you’ve so carefully curated for your craft.
For witches in this situation, writing your own spells might be the only plausible solution to reviving the fluidity and enjoyment of your craft.
For some newer witches the process of writing your own spells may seem a bit intimidating. When you haven’t got much experience under your belt sticking with spells written by other people just feels safer. And that’s OK! As with any art, you must first copy other peoples work until you simply cannot stand it anymore to really master the techniques and build a firm foundational knowledge. Only then do you start to compose and explore your own voice in your craft.
Even for those who are new to the craft however, playful experimentation can hold merit. If you feel confident and ready to explore a little more freely please do not hold yourself back regardless of whether you consider yourself a beginner or a more advanced witch.
A few Pros of writing your own spells:
- You’re never missing materials
- You can tailor every spell for the spirits and energies you work with
- Spells can be as involved or simple as you like
- Experimentation! (I count this as a pro because it’s fun)
- You get complete creative license with your magic
- You learn and develop a personal style in your craft
A few Cons:
- You may not really get a good idea of what works until you’ve been writing for a while
- Sometimes it’s too time consuming to write your own spell
- Some people can’t write well (although if you’re not attached to your spells being beautifully worded don’t let this stop you!

(One Person’s View) The Meaning of Angel Numbers: A Beginner’s Guide

(One Person’s View) The Magic of Angel Numbers for Kids and Their Beliefs
In today’s world, filled with so much modern noise, parents and educators are always looking for unconventional ways to inspire children. One such magical tale is about angel numbers. Angels are believed to be guardians who send numerical messages to those in need of guidance, love, and support. Let’s see how having angel numbers around your child can be an enchanting experience.
What Are Angel Numbers?
Angel numbers are sets of digits believed to have special meaning and offer messages from the spiritual world. Anything from the time on your clock, a license plate number, or a street address might reveal an angel number that you should pay attention to. Numerology relies on this idea of interpreting divine messages sent by angels.
Adults aren’t the only ones who see angel numbers. Because children have pure hearts and vivid imaginations, they may experience these ‘numbers’ more because they haven’t yet lost their innocence. By teaching children about angel numbers, you can help them be more observant and aware, and they might actually see their angelic signs.
Understanding Angel Numbers for Kids
Kids are naturally drawn to stories, magic, and unseen worlds. Angel numbers can gently and playfully introduce them to the reassuring concept that they are never truly alone and that their guardian angels are watching over them. When they start noticing the same numbers repeatedly in their day-to-day lives—on clocks, license plates, or receipts—they can be taught to define these sequences as symbolic communications from the universe, filled with love, support, and encouragement.
For example, a series of 1010 might appear to a child, conveying a sign of turning points and self-mastery. 1010 can represent the beginning of new chapters, ventures, and opportunities, as well as the importance of believing in themselves. A child who tunes into these numbers might engage in a depth of wonder, curiosity, and connectivity to the world around them.
Creating an ongoing dialogue with kids about what these numbers mean to them, and encouraging them to express their feelings and thoughts creatively through stories or drawings, can elicit newfound creative and imaginative perspectives as they work through the experience. Exploring angel numbers can serve as a gateway for children to cultivate an awareness of themselves and the world around them, promising a sense of peace and support as they walk their paths.

Each number has its own meaning—like 111 for manifestation and 222 for harmony. When you see these numbers, pay attention to your emotions, as they can offer insights into their significance. Keeping a journal can help track encounters and deepen your understanding. As you explore these numbers further, you’ll uncover how they resonate with your personal journey and provide guidance during pivotal moments, revealing even more about their unique meanings.

Celtic Tree Calendar – Ash Tree February 18 to March 17
Ash Moon: February 18 – March 17
Source: LearnReligions.com
In the Norse eddas, Yggdrasil, the world tree, was an Ash. The spear of Odin was made from the branch of this tree, which is also known by the Celtic name Nion, pronounced knee-un. This is one of three trees sacred to the Druids (Ash, Oak and Thorn), and this is a good month to do magic that focuses on the inner self. Associated with ocean rituals, magical potency, prophetic dreams and spiritual journeys, the Ash can be used for making magical (and mundane) tools — these are said to be more productive than tools made from other wood. If you place Ash berries in a cradle, it protects the child from being taken away as a changeling by mischievous Fae.
Ash – one Ireland’s sacred trees
Source: Ireland-Calling.com
The Ash is part of the olive family and is prized for its strength as well as its healing qualities. In Ireland the ash was considered one of the trilogy of sacred trees along with the oak and hawthorn.
In Ireland the ash was considered one of the trilogy of sacred trees along with the oak and hawthorn. Three of the five magic trees of Ireland were ash along with one oak and one yew.
Sadly, these trees were cut down in 665 by the Christians to symbolise their victory over paganism, although some of the pagan traditions were adopted by the Christians and some trees were linked to the stories of the saints.
St Patrick supposedly banished the snakes from Ireland with an ash stick, which, in Irish mythology, was the preferred wood for a magic wand.
Irish emigrants took Ash to America
According to the writer Robert Graves who created the modern Celtic tree calendar, a tree descended from the sacred tree of Creevna, another sacred ash was still standing in the 19th century.
Irish emigrants to America took pieces of the ash with them as a charm against drowning. Ash was thought to have power over water and was often planted near sacred springs known as ‘cloothe wells’.
It was also used to build boats. In Ancient Greek mythology ash was associated with Poseidon the god of the sea.
Possibly due to its strength and ability to grow to great heights (over 130ft), Celtic mythology refers to the ash tree as The World Tree, a tree that spans between worlds, the backbone of the universe.
It is the tree that represents The Tree of Life, with its tall branches reaching up into the heavens and its vast root system spread deep below the Earth.
Norse mythology had similar beliefs that the ash was the tree said to span the universe, linking worlds.
Medicinal uses of ash
The bark, seeds and leaves of the ash are all believed to have medicinal qualities. They have been used throughout time to strengthen the liver and spleen, cleanse the system and detoxify the body.
In Ancient Greece Hippocrates was known to have used ash to concoct remedies for gout and rheumatism. The inside of ash bark is a disinfectant and was used for cleansing wounds before the use of modern antiseptics.
The leaves of the ash are said to refresh tired feet when put inside boots.

Motto: “I know”
People born on February 17 benefit from being witty, progressive and considerate to other people. Just like a true Aquarius, they have a voluntary nature and are talkative idealist whom can speak about almost everything. They only find it hard to speak about themselves and express their feelings. They love having everything around them organized and neat and having long conversations. They dislike selfishness and having to deal with stupid people. Those born under this sign enjoy situations that challenge their mind and senses.
Positive traits: These Aquarius natives are generous and popular but also broad minded and innovative. They prefer to keep their eyes on the future and are the first from their group to try something new. They love evolution but also have strong traditional principles that they try to keep updated. They are sociable but also picky and need to build relationships based on respect.
Negative traits: Hesitant and quick to accumulate frustrations, these natives need constant reassurance and although they try to play by the cards, they often disappoint even those who threw them a helping hand. They are not very trustworthy and certainly not reliable when caught out there trying to chase an ideal. They are unpredictable and cling for the support of others even when they don’t really deserve it.
Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on February 17 are extremely attractive and charming. They always have their words, but imagine when this eloquence is combined with passion. They are attracted to people who can accept their eccentricities and keep up with them.

When they are single they act just about the same as when they are in a relationship, they seem to have no restrictions and just live their life at its fullest.

Blue-green is a hue that indicates friendship, maturity and conservative behavior. The zodiac color should be used in items of clothing or objects in the house.
Those with blue-green as sign color know how to act and what to say at any time and in any situation but they don’t pick sides and tend to remain reserved and neutral.

This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of Aquarius zodiac sign, slightly enhancing the negative ones.
Statistics Say: In the Gregorian Calendar, February 17 is the 48th day of the year while until the end of the year there are 317 days left or 318 days in case of leap years. The seventy ninth day of winter, this is also the Quirinalia celebration of the Roman Empire.
If you were born on February 17, you’re a hypersensitive soul hiding beneath a hardened shell, ready to do battle with the world on behalf of your worthy cause! You are honest, ambitious, and determined to get where you want to go, so you will likely succeed in most endeavors. However, be wary of avoiding intimacy out of fear, or closing yourself off to others on your journey to the top — you may get there, but do you want to be alone when you arrive?
February 17 Aquarius at Their Best: Sensitive, disciplined, faithful
February 17 Aquarius at Their Worst: Detached, lonely, combative
What to Wear: Anything — from tie-dye and glitter to stripes, plaids and check, erratically combined.
What to Eat: Original dishes that reflect global consciousness. If it’s earth-friendly, local, or sustainable, Aquarius will celebrate it!
Who to Invite: If humanitarians like Angelina Jolie and Bono aren’t available, round up the usual suspects at the nearest protest rally.
Where to Go: In a public park — if weather makes that a no-go, move it into a unique space like an arcade, skating rink or museum.
IF YOU ARE BORN ON FEBRUARY 17, you are hot-blooded and yes, my dear Aquarius, you are weird and wonderful! It’s not because of your out-going personality, or that you do not care for people knowing your business. It is not even that you prefer to be a loner. You like being by yourself.
People with a February 17 birthday are private and expect people to respect your wishes. (Call before you come as intrusive people are turn-offs for Aquarians.) It is because, Aquarius, you get in a mood and suddenly, your word becomes questionable.
As your birthday horoscope profile shows, you become rebellious, hurtful and angry, almost to the point of doing physical harm to someone. If not this, then you are keeping to yourself. You do not answer phone calls or return messages.
February 17 Aquarius, you can be stubborn and sometimes, you are just unstable. You need not act on your impulses all the time. It is in you. Be strong. Because of this, you do not make friends right away, or at least any real friends. You want them to shed their quandaries but will not allow yourself to be seen as human.
On the surface, many that seek your companionship are willing participants in the dating game until they find out that you value your freedom more than you appreciate them. Aquarians born on February 17 are usually best compatible with someone much like themselves.
You don’t have to work as hard with two Aquarians. You are mirroring so, figuring out where your weakness is or where your strengths are, is easy.
On the other side, Aquarius, you are a do-gooder. The Aquarius birthday analysis for those born on February 17 shows you are proud humanitarians. You will do something beneficial that will change the conditions of people for the better. You know how to get down to the root of a problem, hear both sides and draw your conclusion before making a decision.
Some of your efforts may be idiosyncratic so expect a negative response or two. That is when you pull your pants up and dig deeper. People should respect your hard honesty. After all, you get the job done.
The February 17 birthday person is full of ideas, and your results are prosperous. What is wonderful about you Aquarius is that you are intelligent, rational, and down-to-earth. Those born on this day are Aquarians that can be trusted. You are always looking for new ways to make money. You have a progressive way of thinking. Aquarians are sophisticated people.
As the February birthday zodiac sign, you will be driven like the wind. Some people never change how their surroundings look. Not you, Aquarians live for a change. You also have a flair that is different from most of ours. It is a drastic change from shopping at Gap.
You have invented your style, which shows your personality off. You love to mix and match the oddest of things. The proof is in your decorator’s tips complete with all the latest commodities. Innovative and unique ideas impress you.
February 17 Aquarius birthdays do not handle their own money very well. Since you prefer to work for yourself, you need to stay focused on the next bid. You need not wait until the last minute to secure another paycheck. It will save you the hassle of making payment arrangements or ultimately, having your power supply turned off.
If today is your birthday, then you are advised to stay on the grind and stay away from quick loan services. Avoid the stress so you won’t suffer from headaches and experience sleepless nights.
Aquarians, you need to take good care of your health. You have an appreciation for alcohol. You need to be careful with that especially since you are prone to having some mysterious accidents, some of which can be downright funny stories.
Nevertheless, you have a propensity to have problems with your legs. You could also have more significant issues such as heart disease. No one wants that. Take care of yourself, Aquarius.
In conclusion, the Aquarius birthday astrology for those born on February 17 says you are weird and wonderful! You are most certainly a proud, compassionate Aquarius. You have your style and love doing your own thing.
Aquarians sometimes are responsible for their financial struggles. Stay away from negative forces and take care of yourself!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This year it’s okay to rest, rejuvenate and focus on relationships. Concentrate on your needs and what brings you happiness. Explore relationships with people who have your back.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Financially speaking, this Tuesday seems to come under good auspices and you tend to receive more compared to what you got in the past and compared to the amount of work you are putting in now.
However, this doesn’t mean you have a green light at risks and you shouldn’t think of this as an occasion for speculation because it isn’t.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You are trying to paint your current life in colors that are way too bright and too optimistic and perhaps this is why you’ll spend most of the day defeated and disappointed and not understanding why the things you want to happen are not happening.
You are putting your hopes in an imaginary direction and don’t do anything about them.
You may also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This Tuesday seems to present itself with social prospects more than anything but it will take you quite some inspiration to move things from where they stand now.
You are quick to choose particular things but then stagnate too much when it comes to others. As long as you don’t make up your mind at the right time, some things are lost.
You may also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You need to say it as it is if you want respect this Tuesday and the more you hide behind words, the harder it will be for you to impose yourself.
There is no need to be offensive but with a little courage and some firm wording you can do a lot of magic. There is also no need to think about manipulation because things are going to become straight forward once you hit the right tone.
You may also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The current disposition is going to charge your social life more than you wished for, especially since you kind of dreamed to spend a quiet day in the company of your family.
But pressure is going to be more than you can stand and you will be forced to change your plans, something that of course won’t be very pleasurable.

(One Person’s View) A Short Introduction to Celtic/Druid Ogham or Ogma Alphabet and How to Use it For Divination
The Celtic’s used a writing system called Ogham or sometimes spelled Ogma which dates hundreds of years BCE (Before the Current Era). Most of the time the credit for the alphabets origins are given to the Druid Priests. As only they could read the meanings of the “Ogham Staves” when they were thrown. The Ogham alphabet consists of 25 different symbols which in turn are associated with specific trees or shrubs.
The alphabet can either be written vertically or horizontally but the actual marking for the symbol or letter always appears on the same side and location on the straight line that all the symbols/letter stem off of.
The Ogham Staves are used as a form of divination. You can use them the same as you would Runes or Tarot cards. To make Ogham Staves they should be craved into a piece of the tree or shrub they are associated with, all 25 pieces of wood should be the exact same length and when possible diameter.
How to use the staves is simple you hold them together in both hands, and roll them on your palms while you ask your question of them (be sure to keep your question clear and concise). When you feel it is time and with the question firmly fixed in your mind you let the staves drop from about 4 to 6 inches off the ground. Those closest to you are the future, the middle ones are for the present, and those furthest away are read for the past which led up to the present which will lead into the future.
Here is a picture of the alphabet writing, name of symbol/letter, and which tree or shrub is associated to it:

One Way of Reading Druid Ogham
What is Ogham?
Ogham is a divination system like Tarot cards or runes that is also a system of writing used by the ancient Celts known as Druids. Ogham letters (also called Fews) are made up of simple lines that can be inscribed on any convenient surface. They are read from the bottom up.
Each Ogham letter stands for a type of tree, and the characteristics of that tree (prickly like holly, flexible like willow) grant the Ogham its insights into human nature. Just as each Tarot card should be studied for its individual meaning and its relationship to other cards, Ogham were meant to be studied one by one. This website is the product of my own discursive meditations with Ogham.
Individual Ogham letters are often engraved on sticks or printed on cards in order to use them for divination. To read Ogham as one would read Tarot cards or runes, any number of spreads can be utilized from asking a simple yes or no question where you pull a single Ogham stick/card to complex interpretations of a dozen Oghams thrown on a table or on the ground reveal the future depending on the angles at which they fall. I personally prefer a simple three Ogham reading. I do it every day sometime in the morning. In my mind or out loud, I ask the Ogham: “What do I need to know in order to make the best out of today?” and then reach my hand into the box where I keep my Ogham tiles. Then I pick three of them and lay them side by side.

(One Person’s VIew) Ogham Divination Meanings and their Historical Significance
Discover the fascinating world of Ogham divination and its meanings. This guide will teach you the historical background, symbolism, and significance of Ogham divination, while the video above will teach you how to create your own Ogham divination set (save it for the end!).
Lora O’Brien, founder of the Ogham Academy (and author of this article), has been studying and working with the Ogham for almost 30 years, while devoting the most recent of those years to a Masters in Irish History, and a thesis on the topic of the Ogham and Irish Identity.
What is Ogham Divination?
Ogham divination is a modern way in which Contemporary Pagans, and those generally interested in divination, may predict future happenings, communicate with beings or entities such as Gods or Ancestors, or gain deeper insight and understanding of past, present, and future situations and events.
You will hear elsewhere that ‘it is an ancient Celtic system of fortune-telling and symbols which has been used for thousands of years by Druids and Shamans’… but the reality is, we have no reliable historical evidence on whether the Ogham was used for divination or magical practice.
What we do have are tantalising archaeological hints, and manuscript references which were recorded at a much later date, and in a very different context, to the events, situations, or stories they purport to be telling us about.
There are those of us, even within academic settings, who believe that while we absolutely MUST clearly understand and study the archaeology, linguistics, and historical source material that does remain to us with regard to the Ogham… we can also extrapolate and develop a modern spiritual, magical, and divination practice that is fulfilling and authentic to what we do actually know, while organically growing from and beyond the admitted restrictions of the evidence.
Ogham Divination Meanings
Ogham Divination uses a set of 25 symbols, based on the letters of the ancient Irish Gaelic script. Each symbol represents the letter name, is related to the others within its original Aicme or grouping, and holds a key to many layered deeper meanings which can be used to interpret a person’s life.
Depending on the context, each Ogham letter or Fid can take on a different meaning. While we do provide suggested meanings below, we strongly encourage you to study the original source materials and develop your own ‘kennings’ for each of the Feda (‘letters’) of the Ogham.
Though most Neo Pagan and New Age sources will tell you that Ogham Divination meanings come from some sort of ‘Celtic Tree Oracle’, this is unfortunately, inaccurate.
Though very popular, this nonsense comes from a misunderstanding that the Ogham alphabet is ALL about trees, and each ogham divinatory meaning is related to trees, or worse, a ‘Celtic Tree Calendar’.
Though we can blame Robert Graves for much of this, as he published it in his pseudo academic (but actually fiction and romantic poetry) book, the White Goddess. (More on that by Morgan Daimler Here).
Even leading Ogham scholars such as Damien MacManus have been frustrated by this focus within academia, as he stated in 1988:

Moon Phase for Today: Feb 22, 2025
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.
Today’s Waning Crescent Phase
The Waning Crescent on February 22 has an illumination of 31%. 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 February 22 the Moon is 23.98 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.

Moon Phase for Sunday Feb 16th, 2025
The current moon phase for today is the Waning Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 17.35 days old and 90.24% illuminated with a tilt of -24.732°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 402,354.21 km and the moon sign is Libra.
The Moon phase for today 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.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, February 16 to Saturday, February 22, 2025
All Signs
Early Tuesday morning the Sun will enter the watery sign of Pisces to stay for 30 days. (This happens once a year.) Because Pisces is the last sign in the zodiac, many will feel a sense of closure about things. People will be more intuitive. Their “Spidey sense” will be heightened. They will feel more sympathetic, charitable, helpful and ready to offer emotional support. Because creativity and imagination are magnified, this is a fabulous window of time for artists, musicians and writers. Most will remember their dreams more than usual. Admittedly, Pisces can be big on denial and wanting to avoid the harsh realities of life. “They took some of the Van Goghs, most of the jewels and all of the Chivas!”
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The next four weeks are a time of introspection. Many of you will be drawn to solitude, meditation or exploring your inner world. As you do this, some hidden matters might be exposed or secrets will be revealed. You might even see the truth of something that you were reluctant to admit to yourself. However, this propensity to be private and dig deeper into things will help you to do research, work in solitude and discover hidden answers or solutions to old problems. It’s also a good time to reflect on the past year and decide how you want your new year to be different. Write down your thoughts. You’re full of optimism, which is wonderful!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your popularity will increase in the next four weeks because you’re more social and outgoing! You’ll enjoy time with friends as well as groups and organizations. You might join a group because networking opportunities will present themselves to you. In fact, teamwork will be your motto for the month ahead. This is also one of the best times of the year to define some long-term goals. Why not bounce your ideas off someone to get their feedback? (Could be helpful.) Many of you will be more involved in social media, technology and polishing your online presence. Be open to new friendships and networking opportunities. Get out and schmooze!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The Sun is at the top of your chart for the next four weeks, which means people will notice you more than usual. And they’ll admire you because symbolically, you’re in the limelight – and this light is flattering! Another aspect of this placement of the Sun is that it’s the perfect time to examine your life as a whole, and see if you’re going in the direction you want. Think about your career, your role in society and your standing and your reputation in your community. (Some will deal with a parent more than usual.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
For the next four weeks, you want more out of life! You want adventure, the thrill of discovery, learning new things and meeting new people. Ideally, you want to travel so that you can have a change of scenery. But if you can’t travel, you still want the stimulation of fascinating conversation and the surprise of exploring your own city. You might sign up for a course. You might go back to school. You might learn a new language. You might explore opportunities in publishing, the media or medicine and the law. Whatever the case, with Mars in your sign now, you will seek what you want with gusto! Enjoy these explorations!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Financial issues are on your mind right now. This is why the next four weeks will focus on reducing your debt and dealing with shared finances, shared property, banking matters, taxes, insurance issues and the wealth and resources of someone else. You want to be on top of your game because you want financial security. You might also meet someone who provokes some soul-searching or self-inquiry. (This is fitting because you have a strong desire to experience life on a feeling level not just intellectually.) Privately, you might notice compulsions surfacing within yourself leading to behaviour that surprises you or behaviour that you don’t understand. (Like your sudden interest in probiotics.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Once a year for four weeks, the Sun is opposite your sign, which means it’s as far away from you as it can get all year. (We’re not talking 93 million miles; we’re talking 6 inches in your chart.) Because the Sun is your source of energy, this symbolizes that your energy will be flagging, which means you’ll need more rest and more sleep. (Go to bed.) However, this polarized position of the Sun will also focus your attention on your closest relationships. You’ll be more aware of how you operate within the relationship. Actually, this is a blessing because it gives you a chance to look at your style of relating with someone in order to see how you can improve how you respond to them.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You’re gung-ho to be efficient and productive in the next four weeks, which means you’ll get a lot done. Not only will you set yourself high standards in terms of your work or your job, by extension, you will set yourself high standards in terms of how to improve your health. (Oh yes, you want it all.) And why not? This is why you will strive to make every action count. However, you might have to work for the benefit of someone else as well as your own. For example, you might have an obligation to someone else? Don’t worry because you will not be a martyr in this situation. Au contraire. Very likely, you’ll find it a joy to be of service.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Lucky you! In the next four weeks, your primary drive will be to do exactly what you want and be exactly who you are. You’ll put a strong emphasis on pleasure, amusement and recreation. This window is the perfect time for a vacation and certainly a great time to socialize with others. You will enjoy the company of children, as well as sports events, hobbies, arts and crafts and anything related to the fine arts and the entertainment world. Relationships will be more lighthearted. The Sun will encourage you to make time for fun activities and to prioritize joy. Expect to feel more enthusiastic, more optimistic and ready for adventure!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Home, family and your private life will be your primary focus in the next four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it does, it’s an opportunity for you to interact more with family, especially parents. However, this is also a wonderful chance for you to relax among familiar surroundings. It’s totally appropriate to go off by yourself and contemplate your navel. If you do, you might be surprised with the childhood memories that come up in your mind. This is also a good time to talk to counsellors or professionals about your family life. You might find that behaviour patterns that were triggered in the past are no longer appropriate or useful.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
In the next four weeks, the pace of your days will accelerate. Short trips, errands and appointments plus spending more time with siblings, relatives and neighbours will keep you active and eager to do exciting things. Probably, your busy schedule will include increased reading, writing and studying. This is a great time to travel and take a vacation because your attention with your immediate surroundings will be stronger. You might be more aware of your style of communicating with others. For example, you might see that instead of listening, you’re waiting for your turn to speak. This is the perfect window of time to tell someone how you feel about them, or to discuss a particular subject because your mental process will be clear.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You value your independence. You need space to think, and to be creative and be yourself. For the next four weeks, you’ll have more interest in cash flow and earnings because you want to make your life easier through what you own – especially your possessions. Does your stuff help you or hinder you? This is an excellent time to examine your relationship to your possessions and determine whether they serve your needs or vice versa. You’ll also be delighted with a particular purchase or something that comes to you. In fact, you might want to show it off to others. No doubt you will be more vocal with others about your values because you’re willing to stand up for what you believe.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
For the next four weeks, the Sun is in your sign. This happens only once a year and when it occurs, it boosts your energy and your confidence! The Sun also has the ability to attract favourable situations and people to you. Plus, with the Sun in your sign, you’ll project yourself more dramatically when talking to others, which gives you an excellent advantage if you teach, act or speak to groups. Admittedly, this could create problems in relationships because you might be too talkative and too bossy. This is a lovely opportunity for you to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. With Mercury in your sign as well, you’ll be talkative and full of ideas. Others will listen to you because you’ll put a great deal of yourself into what you have to say.
