(One Person’s Viewpoint) The Mother: Nurturing Abundance, Manifestation, and Responsibility

When the Moon reaches its full glory, the Maiden gracefully transitions into the Mother aspect of the mother maiden crone.

Just as the Mother gives birth to all the abundance on Earth, she represents the culmination of growth and the fullness of life.
Associated with midday and the Summer season, the Mother brings forth nurturing, responsibility, and adulthood, embodying the maiden the mother the crone.
In Wiccan belief, the Mother is considered the most powerful aspect of the crone the mother and the maiden. She is the giver of life and the embodiment of manifestation. Wiccans often honor goddesses such as the Greek Demeter and Selene, the Roman Ceres, and the Celtic Danu and Brigid as representations of the Mother. By connecting with the Mother, we can tap into the energy of mother moon meaning, nurture our dreams and desires, and fully embrace the responsibilities of life.

Charge Your Body In The Moonlight

You gotta let that moon magic in! If the weather isn’t gross and you have a nice, peaceful outdoor space (like a yard or deck) head outside. Otherwise, just open your curtains so moonlight can fill your space. Make sure to turn your lights off inside your house to be more intimately connected to the sky and help the moonlight cleanse your space.

Meanwhile, walking in the light of a full Moon can be magical. Its gentle glow can have a calming effect, leaving you feeling refreshed and renewed. Stand outside in the light of the full Moon and bathe in its power.

Allow your body to charge energetically using the light o the moon. Tune into how the trees and sky look in the moonlight. Pay extra attention to the sounds and smells of the night air.

April 13, 2025 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.54 days old and 99.96% illuminated with a tilt of 106.542°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 405,863.27 km and the moon sign is Libra.

The Moon phase for today is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).

The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.

The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.

May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

Being an Aries born on April 13th, you crave change and become very enthusiastic with the occasion of any novelty coming your way. You seem to always be in a rush but it is a productive thing for you because it keeps you connected with what you have to accomplish.

You have a mysterious side about you, especially when it comes to love relationships. Get ready to understand yourself better below.

 The zodiac sign for April 13 is Aries.

 Astrological symbol: Ram. This symbolizes impulsivity and courage coupled with strength. It influences those born between March 21 and April 19 when the Sun is placed in Aries, the first zodiac sign to begin the zodiac circle.

 The Aries Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, with the brightest stars being Alpha, Beta and Gamma Arietis. It lies between Pisces to the West and Taurus to the East, covering an area of only 441 square degrees between visible latitudes of +90° and -60°.

 The Greeks name it Kriya while the French prefer their own Bélier, however the origin of the April 13 zodiac sign, the Ram, is the Latin Aries.

 Opposite sign: Libra. In astrology, these are the signs placed opposite on the zodiac circle or wheel and in the case of Aries reflect upon effectiveness and orderliness.

 Modality: Cardinal. This quality exposes the affectionate nature of those born on April 13 and their support and practicality about most life situations.

 Ruling house: The first house. This means that Arieses are inclined towards initiatives and life changing decisions. This house also symbolizes the physical presence of an individual and how others perceive him/her.

 Ruling body: Mars. This connection suggests involvement and justice. It also reflects on the organization in the lives of these natives. In the horoscope chart, Mars expressed our temper and reactions.

 Element: Fire. This element symbolizes empowerment and fearlessness and is considered to influence the boldness and awareness of people connected to April 13 zodiac. Fire gets new meanings in association with the other elements, making things boil with water, heating up air and modeling earth.

 Lucky day: Tuesday. Ruled by Mars this day symbolizes clarity and activity and seems to have the same concrete flow as the lives of Aries individuals.

 Lucky numbers: 4, 8, 15, 19, 25.

 Motto: I am, I do!

People born on April 13 are spontaneous freedom lovers who are rarely diplomatic and tactful with anyone around. Just like a true Aries, they are powerful, courageous and determined to succeed. They appreciate being engaged in projects that give them a chance to shine at what they do best, making plans. They dislike being questioned about their choices and decisions both in their activities and family life. Those born under this sign enjoy outdoor activities, especially if those include social gatherings and some kind of competition.

 Positive Traits: These natives are quick to respond to change and they often embrace it cheerfully. They are reliable and highly resourceful so don’t forget to search for them when you need help or new ideas. Aries people are efficient and imaginative and they are often very enterprising. However, they are sometimes to keen on seeing things done as quickly as possible so they risk loosing interest in time.

 Negative Traits: These natives are stubborn and arrogant and they find it very difficult to compromise or accept that other might have good ideas and that they can’t always go in their direction. They are extremely argumentative and this in turn leads to some unfortunate collisions with other people. They are often undisciplined as children and this attitude seems to continue in adulthood for some of them bringing even to themselves a level of frustration.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on April 13 are impulsive and passionate. They have no time to wait and would do anything to take their passions to completion. They are attracted to enthusiastic and mysterious persons and sparks will fly for a long time if their partner manages to keep up the pace with them. You can conquer the heart of Aries if you’re as ambitious and as driven as them. The single Aries is so deep into tasks and projects as it has no time to even realize they are single.

 An elegant and sincere lover they are very attractive to the opposite sex. Naturally charming, they are used to intensely live every aspect of their life and their relationships are no exception. They are likely to fall in love at a young age and have many interactions with different kinds of people. Once they settle for their loved one, they turn to be patient and dependable and seek for peace and fulfillment. They are most compatible with those born on 1st, 8th, 10th, 17th, 19th, 26th and 28th. April 13 Zodiac people are very compatible with the other two fire signs: Leo and Sagittarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Aries is in a constant search for a deep and understanding relationship where they can open their hearts and express their feelings freely. The one to offer this to them is the affectionate and loyal Libra. Aries is thought to be least compatible with those born under the Pisces zodiac sign. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Aries, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Red is the color that is considered lucky for those Aries natives with April 13.

Red symbolizes passion, energy, attention and is the warmest of all colors. This zodiac color should be used in objects that surround the natives.

Red draws everyone’s attention and suggests confidence and action. This is the most suitable color as it is also the symbol for Mars, the ruling planet of the Aries zodiac sign. On the other hand red is temper and anger so when provoked they tend to get aggressive. This color emanates energy and complete action so it should be used cautiously.

Other colors indicated for Aries are scarlet and carmine.

Representative Birthstone: The Aries birthstone used in astrology for those with April 13 is the exquisite Diamond.

Diamond presents a precious stone that reflects strength and elegance. This zodiac birthstone is advised to be used in pendants and earrings.

It is said to help with the focus on discovering the long term goals of an individual. The Diamond used to be named the “teardrops of the gods” in ancient Greek.

Another gemstone considered lucky for Aries natives is Emerald. It is the symbol of harmony and growth.

Characteristic Flower: The lucky flower for those born under the April 13 is Honeysuckle.

This plant is known to symbolize sweetness and delicacy. This zodiac flower could be used in gifts and accessories.

Honeysuckle is the first of the flower signs and comes with energy and determination. This flower is to be found during spring time but continue until early fall.

Other plants that suit Aries natives are Geranium and Ginger.

Symbolic Metal: The metal considered to be representative for Aries natives with April 13 is Iron.

Iron is known to represent strength and aggression. The zodiac metal could be used in accessories and jewelry items.

This strong metal suggests the force of fiery Aries who is easily stimulated just like Iron can be magnetized. Left in moist air, Iron rusts which suggests that it should be handled with care exactly like the Aries native.

Another metal considered beneficial for Aries natives is Silver.

Characteristics: April 13 Zodiac belongs to the third decan of ARIES (April 11-April 19). This decan is influenced by the planet Mars. Those born under this influence combine the spirituality and broad mind of Aries with the humanitarian and enterprising approach of Jupiter. This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of Aries zodiac sign with a great accent on the negative ones.

 Being born on the 13th day of the month means tolerance, honesty, adaptability and self discipline. The numerology for April 13 is 4. This number reveals creation combined with logic and a bit of stubbornness. Those Aries associated with number four are surely imaginative but also hard working and critical. April is the forth month of the year, bringing great opportunities for starting courageous endeavors. Those born in April are attractive and dynamic. April 13 Zodiac people are fearless and determined. April symbols that resonate with these people are diamond as gemstone, Honeysuckle and Poppy as plants and Aphrodite the Greek goddess of beauty.

What Statistics Say: April 13 is counted in the Gregorian Calendar as the 103rd day of the year or the 104th day in leap years, while until the end of the year there are 262 days left. The forty fourth day of spring, this is also the Cambodian New Year.

 Aries comes ninth most common zodiac sign on the list of occurrence in the horoscope. Considered to be of masculine symbolism, it has a general positive meaning and is an odd number sign. This portrays extrovert natives who are genial and flexible. The Dare Devil is an archetype used when referring to this sign. Aries is also rated as the zodiac sign under which most billionaires were born. Famous people born on April 13 under the Aries zodiac sign: Thomas Jefferson, Seamus Heaney, Samuel Beckett and Peter Davison.

If you were born on April 13, you know what you want and how you want it. You’re a decisive person who doesn’t like to waste time! This attitude will take you to the top of any ladder and you’ll be successful in no time. However, if you want to be the truly powerful leader that you’re capable of, you’ll need to earn the respect of those around you. Remember to be personable, kind, and courteous to your friends, family, and coworkers in order to truly feel happy and fulfilled.

April 13 Aries at Their Best: Strong-willed, pioneering, outspoken

April 13 Aries at Their Worst: Misunderstood, alienated, rejected

What to Wear: Leggings and tennis shoes. Aries could challenge all the party guests to a foot race on the spur of the moment, and you’ll want to be set.

What to Eat: Anything ready-made! Aries has no time to wait for anything that has to be cooked first. Sashimi could make an elegant choice.

Who to Invite: Everybody who even remotely knows this dynamic individual — life is, after all, all about Aries!

Where to Go: Outdoors (where there’s plenty of room to roam) or a sports complex that handles everything from basketball and tennis to golf and rock climbing. Everybody who even remotely knows this dynamic individual — life is, after all, all about Aries!

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS APRIL 13, you were born with daring, genuineness and brains. You have a tendency to face adversity head-on using your given talents. Those born under this zodiac sign of Aries are generally very “lucky” even as a child.

Although you lose yourself in anger sometimes and say or do hurtful things, you mainly are a gentle soul but you can be impatient and become easily upset when someone criticizes you. Otherwise, you typically work to resolve problems using your instincts and principles.

The 13th April birthday personality loves to travel, so you can move around a lot. You also have extravagant spending habits attached to your personality traits.

If today is your birthday keep their word. It is also a very important part of an Aries nature. You are honest to a fault so most people trust you with confidential matters.

The April 13th birthday horoscope shows that you try to avoid negative thinking and people. You have an optimistic attitude toward life and like to be around those who think as you do.

Although you have mostly friends of the opposite sex, at the end of the day, Arians are loyal friends. You have a respect for your elders. They have a wisdom that could be of some help to you in areas of love and finance. You want to know what they have to say so you pay close attention.

You love good food and great sex. At the same time, you love to makeup sex. There is something about an intense argument that gets you uncontrollably aroused. This cold-hearted nature hinders your ability to be emotionally attached to anyone. It will take at least two keys to unlock this chained heart – love, and loyalty.

However, once inside, the Aries partner will need to be someone who has the same sexual desires and independent nature. This Aries birthday person would be very happy to pair up. However, you are slow to make a long-term commitment.

The 13 April birthday astrology analysis shows that you are self-confident and tend to meet both short-term and long-term goals that you set. You may find this Arian in positions of power, in the health care field or even in the armed forces.

The April 13 birthday personality can be conniving when it comes to business deals. You are prone to take advantage of properties that you can buy and resell for a quick profit. Some of you Arians will inherit a lump sum that will enable you to invest fully in your retirement fund.

Until this happens, it would be in your best interest to pay off some major accounts that you have accumulated. Financial success will come through thinking, believing and working toward that goal.

The 13 April birthday characteristics also show that you are generally very proud of your bodies. You work hard to achieve the body you want and as a result, you usually do not have any physical or mental problems associated with stress or worry. If you were to have physical ailments, it would be leaning toward joints and bone diseases. Arthritis is commonly associated with those born on April 13.

Those born on this zodiac birthday, April 13, have a lot of nerve… You are bold and perhaps a little cold. You have a short fuse when it comes to criticism and patience. You have very little room for either. Having these faults does not mean that you are not a loyal friend or lover.

The April 13th birthday meanings show that you have a desire to be with someone with whom you can share your sexual and independent qualities. But you are slow to give your love and trust to anyone. You respect your elders and have a strong sense of morals due to your upbringing.

Two things this Aries birthday individual normally does not worry about is money or health. You take care of those requirements. You live to be stress-free. That is what you do… you are Aries the Ram.

All Signs

Life is “stirred up” and moving fast because almost half of the major planets are changing signs in the next few months. This is huge. (And some are moving into confrontational Aries.) Two weeks ago, Neptune entered Aries for the first time since 1862-1875; which is a preview of things to come because Neptune slips back into Pisces in October, returning to Aries in January 2026 to stay until 2039. Next week, Mars moves into Leo for two months. In June, Jupiter moves into Cancer; and in July, Uranus (planet of upheaval and revolution) also moves into Cancer, which happens to be the Sun Sign of both Canada and the US. (Yowzers!) Personally, I’m going to gas up my car; and make sure I have an extra bag of nachos and two cartons of Ranch dip.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week Mercury joins Neptune in your sign, which will make you busy and chatty! Meanwhile, your ruler Mars will soon move into the most fun-loving part of your chart for two months, making this the perfect time for vacations, creative adventures, fun activities with kids and competitive sports. Live it up! Later this week, the Sun moves into Taurus to stay for four weeks heightening your focus on money, cash flow, earnings and possessions. Examine your relationship to the resources in your life. Are you using what you own? Does your stuff serve your needs or vice versa? You will want to establish greater control of your life through the things that you value. It’s a reality check.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

There’s a lot happening right now. Next week Mars moves to the bottom of your chart to stay for the next two months stirring up energy at home and with family members. (Try to avoid domestic strife.) You’ll want to start shoving furniture around and make home improvements. Be patient with parents because this is a challenging influence. Fortunately, the Sun enters your sign on Thursday to stay for four weeks, which will boost your energy and help you make a great impression on everyone. You’ll feel a strong need to express yourself! Meanwhile, Venus in your House of Friendships will create cozy times with pals. “Who brought this wine?”

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Next week fiery Mars moves into your House of Communications to stay for two months, which means the pace of your everyday life will accelerate. You’ll identify strongly with your ideas, which means you might encounter arguments. Be careful not to coerce others into believing as you do. (“But I’m persuasive!”) Countering this, the Sun moves into a hidden part of your chart this week for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year, and will help you identify childhood behaviour patterns that are no longer appropriate. (Hey, you’re adulting now.) You can sense that your personal year is coming to an end, which makes this the perfect time to ask yourself how well you’re doing at the art of living.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Mercury is now at the top of your chart, urging you to make plans for your professional life, and think about whether you’re headed in the direction you want to go. This is an excellent time to undertake new studies, as well as talk to bosses and employers. Venus encourages travel for pleasure, and falling in love with someone “different.” Meanwhile, the next four weeks will be popular because the Sun is in your House of Friendships energizing your involvement with friends, as well as groups and organizations. This also arouses your idealism! Then, when Mars changes signs next week, you’ll work even harder to boost your earnings and spend money!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re entering a powerful window because next week, fiery Mars moves into your sign; while this week, the Sun moves to the top of your chart. This is favourable! Mars will give you energy, confidence and courage. You’ll be more proactive in all your dealings with others. (Maybe a tad bossy.) Meanwhile, with the Sun at your zenith, you look fabulous to everyone! This is because you’re in a flattering spotlight. (Symbolically.) People admire you even if you don’t do anything different. This is why you might be asked to take on increased responsibilities or you might get a promotion. As Mercury changes signs as well this week, your interest in study, education, publishing and travel will increase. “More whiskey and fresh horses for my men!”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week the Sun moves into the part of your chart that heightens your interest in travel, learning and doing anything possible to broaden your horizons. You will seek out new and unfamiliar experiences. People from different backgrounds will intrigue you. This is a great time to take up a new course of study, a new hobby or learn a new language. Your focus on taxes, debt, shared property and inheritances will be strong because Mercury has entered one of your Money Houses. (Time to tidy up loose details.) Meanwhile, Jupiter at the top of your chart brings opportunities to get ahead. Seek out promotions, public recognition and the esteem of your peers. Take a bow.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You don’t like to rock the boat. Therefore prepare for next week, when fiery Mars moves into your House of Friendships, making you more aggressive about going after what you want, even if it conflicts with others. Use your diplomacy to create successful team efforts. Coordinate your needs with their needs. (Tricky but doable.) Seek out more physical activity through athletics or team participation. Mercury, now opposite your sign, will help you clarify and explain issues. Discussions will be lively and you will seek out intellectual stimulation from others. Put energy into wrapping up loose details with taxes, shared property, inheritances and debt. All that fun stuff.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Next week your co-ruler Mars moves to the top of your chart, arousing your ambition as never before. This means you’ll work hard to get things done. However, this could put you in conflict with a boss or an authority figure. Do what you can to avoid this because you don’t need a situation that blocks your objectives. Go slowly and be diplomatic. Meanwhile, with the Sun moving opposite your sign, you need more sleep and more rest in the next four weeks. Respect this need; especially because Venus will attract chances to party, play and schmooze. Mercury, now in your House of Employment, will promote good relations with employers and coworkers. The next few weeks are an excellent time for important discussions. Seek ways to improve your health.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might feel conflicted as two planets are changing signs because one makes you want to travel, explore the world, and get a change of scenery. (“I’m outta here.”) While the other makes you keen to work and be productive. In fact, you’ll strive to make every action count because you want to discover the best way of doing things. Physical efficiency will be your motto. Mercury is another planet that changes signs now, moving to one of the most fun parts of your chart, encouraging you to use your mind for amusement like reading, writing and playing games that require mental agility. You might even play some pranks?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Lucky you! Once a year, the Sun travels through the most fun part of your chart for four weeks; and this starts now! You want to feel free to express yourself. You want to do what you want and set your own priorities. You have a strong drive to have a good time and be a free spirit. You might be more involved with kids than usual. Relationships will be more lighthearted. Family discussions are likely. Some will tackle home repairs. Admittedly, conflicts about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt might increase. The other thing that will increase is your sex drive! Woot!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’ll be more focused on home, family and your private life in the next four weeks. Many will be more involved with a parent. (You’re not being antisocial. You prefer to go off by yourself or spend time relaxing among familiar surroundings.) However, life has its contradictions and indeed, as Mercury changes signs this week, it will make you want to get out and talk to everyone. Short trips will appeal. You won’t want to settle down and relax – you want to do something! Whatever happens, do your best to keep the peace because with Mars opposite your sign for the next two months, lively discussions (and arguments) might take place with spouses and partners. “Beware Viceroy; the Federation has gone too far this time.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Fasten your seatbelt because the next four weeks are busy! More activity, more moving round, more encounters with new faces and new places! This is a great time for a vacation. It’s also a good time to tell others how you feel about something. Meanwhile Mercury has just entered your Money House making you more concerned about business affairs, shopping and moneymaking ideas. You might want to define your sense of values to someone.

If you want to see information on any tradition of witchcraft, herbs, flowers, a Goddess or a God, or anything pertaining to any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com.
