A Little Humor for Your Day – “Boy, oh boy, I can relate to this, The Definition of Barbecuing!” c.2014

Definition of Barbecuing

It’s the only type of cooking a “real” man will do. When a man volunteers to do the ‘BBQ’ the following chain of events are put into motion:

1) The woman goes to the store.
2) The woman fixes the salad, vegetables, and dessert.
3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man, who is lounging beside the grill, beer in hand.
4) The man places the meat on the grill.
5) The woman goes inside to set the table and check the vegetables.
6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning.
7) The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman.
8) The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table.
9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
10) Everyone praises man and thanks him for his cooking efforts.
11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed “her night off.” And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there’s just no pleasing some women.

Witchcraft Bare Basics Part 8 – The Witches Creed, Witches Rede and the Threefold Law

I was given permission to share the Witches Creed and Rede with you.

The Witches Creed

By Doreen Valiente

Click here for more information on the Witches Creed

Hear now the words of the witches,
The secrets we hid in the night,
When dark was our destiny’s pathway,
That now we bring forth into light.
Mysterious water and fire,
The earth and the wide-ranging air,
By hidden quintessence we know them,
And will and keep silent and dare.
The birth and rebirth of all nature,
The passing of winter and spring,
We share with the life universal,
Rejoice in the magical ring.
Four times in the year the Great Sabbat
Returns, and the witches are seen
At Lammas and Candlemas dancing,
On May Eve and old Hallowe’en.
When day-time and night-time are equal,
When sun is at greatest and least,
The four Lesser Sabbats are summoned,
And Witches gather in feast.


The Wiccan Rede

This was first written in 1964 by Doreen Valiente

(Full Version)

Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust.
Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give.

For tread the Circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out.
To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme.

Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much.
Honor the Old Ones in deed and name, let love and light be our guides again.

Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the joyful tune.
Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.

When the Lady’s moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two.
When the moon rides at Her peak then your heart’s desire seek.

Heed the North winds mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail.
When the Wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast.

When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss you on the mouth.
When the wind whispers from the West, all hearts will find peace and rest.

Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow.
Birch in the fire goes to represent what the Lady knows.

Oak in the forest towers with might, in the fire it brings the God’s insight.
Rowan is a tree of power causing life and magick to flower.

Willows at the waterside stand ready to help us to the Summerland.
Hawthorn is burned to purify and to draw faerie to your eye.

Hazel-the tree of wisdom and learning adds its strength to the bright fire burning.
White are the flowers of Apple tree that brings us fruits of fertility.

Grapes grow upon the vine giving us both joy and wine.
Fir does mark the evergreen to represent immortality seen.

Elder is the Lady’s tree burn it not or cursed you’ll be.
Four times the Major Sabbats mark in the light and in the dark.

As the old year starts to wane the new begins, it’s now Samhain.
When the time for Imbolc shows, watch for flowers through the snows.

When the wheel begins to turn, soon the Beltane fires will burn.
As the wheel turns to Lamas, night power is brought to magick rite.

Four times the Minor Sabbats fall use the Sun to mark them all.
When the wheel has turned to Yule, light the log the Horned One rules.

In the spring, when night equals day time for Ostara to come our way.
When the Sun has reached it’s height, time for Oak and Holly to fight.

Harvesting comes to one and all when the Autumn Equinox does fall.
Heed the flower, bush, and tree by the Lady blessed you’ll be.

Where the rippling waters go cast a stone, the truth you’ll know.
When you have and hold a need, harken not to others greed.

With a fool no season spend or be counted as his friend.
Merry Meet and Merry Part bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the Three-fold Laws you should three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune is enow wear the star upon your brow.

Be true in love this you must do unless your love is false to you.

These Eight words the Rede fulfill:
“An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will”

Threefold Law

Not all traditions of witchcraft believe in the Threefold Law. Personally, I do because it keeps me from straying into the dark aspects of witchcraft such as hexes or curses or other negative things that are possible to do.

The Threefold law is simple it says you should be careful of the spells you cast or rituals you do as whatever the spell is can come back at you three times as strong. If you cast a dark, negative spell be prepared for something or some things in your life to go bad three times worse than whatever you casted on the other person.

Witchcraft Bare Basics Part 6 – A Simple Way Cleanse and Bless Your Home

Here is how I spiritually cleanse and bless our home at the same time. The spell part is simple. It’s the making of the potion and then doing the cleansing and blessing that are time-consuming. If you have any questions I will answer them tomorrow as I am going to bed, it’s been a very long day.

To Cleanse Your Home Thoroughly of Negativity

The mixture is best when made in the waxing moon phase with the last day being on the full moon. The house cleansing is best during the waning or dark moon phase.
What You Will Need;
2 cups Bottled Water
1 Tablespoon of each:
Powdered Garlic
Table Salt (preferably without Iodine)
Crushed Rosemary
Bowl with Lid
Spray Bottle to only be used for this purpose
How to Prepare for The Cleansing and Blessing
Mix all ingredients well in a bowl in a sacred circle. Cover the bowl and out it in your refrigerator for 9 days. On the 10th day, strain the mixture into the spray bottle.
Once the mixture has been strained into the spray bottle: Starting at the doorway into your home that is used most often, then proceed through each room on the main level, moving counterclockwise through them.
How to do the Cleansing/Blessing
Start at the doorway, then move counterclockwise.
To be done on every level of your home and every room
Each time you spray an area, say in a strong, commanding voice: EVIL LEAVE! DO NOT ENTER! Bless this home with positive energy.
As you make your way around every room, open and spay every cabinet, closet, drawers, mirror, faucet, sink drain and all other places that you cannot see when entering the room. Spray in every corner of every room. Spray every corner of every window (if window is divide into sections, every section has to be done individually). Open doors and spray top to bottom. Do the same for any entry way between rooms. Make sure to include anything that connects to the world outside your home like computers, tablets, television sets, remote controls, cell/mobile and landline telephones, dryer vena, sump pump holes, cable and/or internet hook up that come through the outside wall of your home and everything else that in any way allows anything into your home.
Next go to the second floor if your home has one. Start in the room closet to the stairway and proceed counterclockwise through every room following the directions above.
Next go to your attic. Start in the area closet to the place where you go into it and work counterclockwise throughout this space following the directions above.
Lastly go to your basement or crawl space and proceeding counterclockwise spray every concern of every room, anything that connects your home to the outside world, washing machines water hoses and drain hose, dryer vents, and anywhere else that is hidden.

If you have any questions about this post, please ask in the comments or email LCB at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com.

Witchcraft Bare Basics Part 7 – The Ethics of Witchcraft/Wicca

The Ethics of Witchcraft/Wicca

Much has been written about magical ethics. Usually a list of clear dos and don’ts and thou shalts. The Wiccan Rede—“ An it harm none, do as thou will”— and the three-fold law—“ what you do comes back to you three-fold”— get bandied about as being the ethical pillars of Witchcraft. As I’m not Wiccan I don’t subscribe to these ideas. In the 1950s Doreen Valiente wrote a lovely poem called The Wiccan Rede. It drew on many sources including a poem from Aradia: Gospel of The Witches by Charles Leland, some Aleister Crowley material and older teachings. The last part, often referred to as the Rede is the well-known “an it harm none, do as thou will” although the whole thing is often reworded to mean “do whatever you like as long as you’re not hurting anybody”. I believe that in a time when witchcraft was being redefined and made out to be something nice and benevolent, it may have been important to defuse outside ideas about what witches do and make them appear “good” by instilling a moral code of sorts. The Wiccan Rede only applies to Wiccans however, not all witches or magicians.

Many following the Rede try to never think ill about anyone or use it as a reason to become vegetarian. The problem I see is that “harm none” includes yourself. Some blood and body types aren’t suited to a vegetarian diet. In addition every breath or step you take on the earth may be harming small creatures and organisms. Does this mean that we only apply “harm none” to those creatures we choose? If so, who decides what can or cannot be harmed? What is the criteria for a bug or organism to be added to the “none” category?

Harm None is also the wrong part of the rede to be focused on. Of the eight word shortened version, Harm None is the least. Will is the important part, this is discussed further later on.

The other thing about the Rede is that the word ‘rede’ means advice. Not rules, not law and not even guidelines. Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Code has more credence. The Rede is more akin to your Auntie pulling you aside to talk about boys (or girls). She’ll tell you what she thinks you should do, she may even tell you some of her horror stories. Her advice may be valid and sound but in the end the decision to act on her advice is all yours.

The three-fold law is, in some form or another, the golden rule in every culture. In Christianity the Bible states “as you sow, so shall you reap” and “an eye for an eye”. The Hindu and Buddhist faiths know it as Karma. Although Karma is not the cosmic instant reward and punishment system that New Age thought promotes it as, if you want to understand Karma, learn about it from the Hindi. Modern colloquialism expresses it as “what goes around, comes around”. However it is referred to, by whichever culture, it speaks of a consequential result for what you do in life.

In Witchcraft the three-fold part is often misunderstood. I read a blog post about how you should give money to a witch because of their three-fold law. If you give them $ 10, you’ll get $ 30 back. In the same vein if you do something bad it will be three times worse for you. The mistaken belief is that the three fold will come back at you three times when for those who believe in it, it’s on three different levels— Mind, Body and Spirit. I’ve found that there is often (but not always) a backlash. In physics— every action has an equal and opposite reaction, in Witchcraft it’s not necessarily as simple as it’s made out to be. There is also a theory that the threefold law was introduced as a way to keep beginners and learning witches safe from themselves.

It’s frequently stated that you shouldn’t interfere with another’s will. That you can’t or rather shouldn’t do a spell that will affect another without their permission. This is often said by people who then send healing energy all around the place without being asked for it and don’t see their own hypocrisy. I personally believe that it’s rarely a good idea to cast a spell regarding another person. Even if it’s “for their own good”. Who are you to decide what is best for another person? Who died and made you a God? They may have a life lesson going on, something that they need to learn from or learn how to cope with in order to grow. By ‘helping’ them you may in fact be harming them by preventing their own personal growth. It’s also a slippery slope, once you start ‘helping’ people, you can’t stop and it’s a short step away from interfering. This is different from binding and cursing but we’ll delve into that later.

Unless you belong to a faith that has its own ethics, you need to figure out what is ethical or not for yourself. Many people will assume that as a witch, you follow their system, or that witches are automatically Wiccan or Pagan and that you must subscribe to their own personal moral code in order to call yourself that. When it comes down to it, you need to ignore all the “know-it-alls” and be true to yourself. If you do ‘bad’ things there may be a backlash, but sometimes it’s worth it. Only you can know that for sure.

Moon Phase for Monday April 28, 2025

Moon-themed decor

The current moon phase for April 28th, 2025 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 0.77 days old and 0.51% illuminated with a tilt of 90.228°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 357,599.56 km and the moon sign is Taurus.

The Moon phase for April 28th, 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.

Phase Details

Phase: Waxing Crescent

Moon age: 0.77 days

Moon illumination: 0.51%

Moon tilt: 90.228°

Moon Alert

After 3:30 AM EDT today (00:30 AM PDT) there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Taurus.

The Stars Rate Your Day

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

** This day has its challenges because the Moon in Taurus is at odds with your ruler Mars, which means people can easily feel angry. Specifically, for your sign, you might quarrel about money or the cost of something, perhaps how it relates to kids or entertaining outings.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

** Once again, we have a day with stress because the Moon is in your sign at odds with fiery Mars, which can trigger domestic tension and problems at home. This is because people might feel irritable with each other or quick to take offense. Try to avoid this.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** You are curious and sociable. However, today you might fall into grumpy mode. Do you have to do this? Actually, no you don’t. But there’s a strong possibility you’ll feel annoyed with your world. Don’t give this energy. Instead, be glad that lucky Jupiter is in your sign – a blessing!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** This is a popular time for you and certainly a time when you are valuing your friendships and your interactions with groups and organizations. Today however, you might find yourself at odds with a friend or a member of a group. Do with this what you will. Ideally, avoid friction, if you can.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

** Leo is the sign of royalty, and leadership. Today with both the Sun and Moon at the top of your chart, at odds with Mars in your sign – you’re a bit touchy! (This is the simple reality of things today.) Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to handle things with class.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

*** Be smart and avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues because this will trigger arguments – for sure. Why ruin your day? Keep things low-key. You can have these discussions another day when people are less prickly. It’s your call.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** You like harmony with others, as well as harmony in your environment – nice lighting, pleasant fragrances, attractive surroundings. Therefore, do your best to avoid nasty arguments about shared property, banking, inheritances and the resources of others. Postpone these issues for another day.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

** Because the Moon is in a sign that is opposite your sign today, it means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This will require compromise and cooperation. In addition to this, people are on edge today and inclined to argue. Don’t take the bait.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Today issues about your health, your job, or your pet could trigger arguments, especially arguments related to culture and different countries. You don’t need this. You like to be upbeat, happy and optimistic. Avoid downer disagreements. Stay positive.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** You won’t be happy with disputes related to social outings, kids, sports and especially how the cost is divided or shared for these events (especially if you think you’re being treated unfairly). Try to resolve these issues in a sane, logical way. (Always a challenge.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** Do what you can to keep the peace at home because the alternative is to have a lousy day. Obviously, you don’t want to have a lousy day. Therefore, stay chill and avoid arguments – for your own happiness.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** It’s easy for people to argue today – especially people you encounter on a daily basis like siblings, relatives and neighbours. Fortunately, fair Venus is in your sign, which will help you to be diplomatic and tactful. Let Venus be your friend today. Be cool.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Darren Barnet (1991) shares your birthday today. You are thoughtful and sensitive. You are also self-reliant and sometimes solitary. You’re happiest when working on your own projects. Actually, this year is about building solid foundations in your life both internally and externally. Simplicity is the key. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise will be important.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Sunday will come with some highly personal demands for you and you’ll probably end up spending the majority of the day figuring a thing or two.

You are also dwelling between two different courses of action and no matter how much you would like for someone else to decide, this simply isn’t possible and you have to do it yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You seem to be in good relations with your friends but this Sunday ought to put all this under a question mark.

This might happen either because you demand something from them or the opposite. In any case, one of the sides will probably go past certain boundaries, mainly without realizing it and then the other side will secretly detest this and thus tension will be created.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are dreaming of a very efficient Sunday in which you manage to catch up with home work and also find time to relax, both on your own and in the company of someone dear.

Of course that all those plans will need to be abandoned the moment you wake up and you are advised to simply go with the ride as you have little say in what you actually manage to accomplish and what not.

You can also enjoy this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Someone may be knocking at the closed gates of your heart and you ought not to answer. And trying to be less cryptic, this would translate into some kind of temptation or bad news coming in your life, something you need to be aware of.

Whatever happens will depend on how risk-prone you feel and how good the temptation is.

You can also enjoy this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Not the shiniest of Sundays as it seems that the mood you wake up in is one of criticism and pessimism. You only see the worst part of everything and don’t have one warm word to address yourself.

And no matter who tries to get you from this state, you prefer to persevere. Not an easy day to swallow and you’ll have to accept it.

You can also enjoy this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be aware that your thoughts may be working against you and while in some cases, that sudden pessimism of yours might actually help you, in others, like this one in particular, it blocks you from attaining the true potential of the situation.

Every gain comes with some kind of a burden and perhaps some responsibilities.

You can also enjoy this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Unlike your usual self, you seem to be in quite a confrontational mode this Sunday. Not to mention the fact that you don’t gladly accept anyone around you and see to impediment in telling people things to their faces.

You ought to be focusing on what you bring to the table and not on your expectations of others.

You can also enjoy this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This Sunday seems to highlight the mouse and cat but also special relationship you have with those dear to you.

They may be chasing you at this point but you also, unconsciously, desired their presence. Shouldn’t require anything else from the situation at hand, not for now at least. A favorable day for learning as well.

You can also enjoy this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This Sunday seems to bring your focus on your relationship and this time, on something you actually did wrong.

And while it might be too much to ask from you to make amends for those newly found mistakes, it is the right thing to do. Of course you will remain wondering what you should do, for the majority of the day.

You can also enjoy this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

While on other occasions you have tried to put yourself in the best light, it seems that this Sunday uncovers a completely different side to you.

This time you are trying not to appear as something you are not and actually want to be liked for who you are. Interesting to see how this plays out, especially if the context involves you meeting new people.

You can also enjoy this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Beware of emotional distractions or else don’t make any plans for the day. Everything will probably hang under a big question mark and it is up to you to figure things out.

You are also trying to build a bridge between your love life and your social life, perhaps under the belief that your partner would benefit from seeing how you are with your friends.

Joyful birthday wishes from Lady Carla Beltane with the WOTC Family and Friends!!

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 a Taurus born on April 27th, you tend to take the shortest way everywhere because of your practical solutions. Even emotional problems can be treated quite fast by you, of course, when it comes to others.

But this bluntness of yours is what makes you very attractive to those around. You are also very dependable and keep your word no matter what happens along the way. Get ready to better understand your astrological profile in the following rows.

 The zodiac sign for April 27 is Taurus.

 Astrological symbol: Bull. This symbol suggests a willful individual with meaningful strength and stamina. It is characteristic for people born between April 20 and May 20 under the Taurus zodiac sign.

 The Taurus Constellation with the brightest star being Aldebaran is spread on 797 sq degrees between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East. Its visible latitudes are +90° to -65°, this being just one of the twelve zodiac constellations.

 The Latin name for the Bull, the April 27 zodiac sign is Taurus. The Spanish name it Tauro while the French call it Taureau.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This reflects upon punctuality and power and the fact that a cooperation between the Taurus and Scorpio sun signs, whether in business or love is beneficial for both parts.

 Modality: Fixed. The quality suggests the independent nature of those born on April 27 and their philosophy and elegance in most life events.

 Ruling house: The second house. This house placement symbolizes material possessions and everything one can own in a lifetime and seems to focus Taurians towards pleasures and gain.

 Ruling body: Venus. This celestial planet reveals support and secrecy and also highlights enthusiasm. Venus is said to inspire the arts and artists.

 Element: Earth. This element symbolizes structure and a sense of justice and is considered to influence people connected to April 27 zodiac. Earth also gets new meanings in association with the other elements, modeling things with water and fire and incorporating air.

 Lucky day: Friday. This weekday is ruled by Venus symbolizing romance and indulgence. It reflects upon the persistent nature of Taurus people and the relaxed flow of this day.

 Lucky numbers: 3, 4, 11, 17, 20.

 Motto: “I own!”

 People born on April 27 posses a determined and practical approach to life. They are also very cautious in whatever they do. Just like a true Taurus, they are in a permanent need for stability. They are those people who know how to play their stubbornness in achieving their goals. They like spending time for self improvement and delighting with a movie or an interesting book. They avoid monotone activities and hate being hurried by anyone. Those born under this sign feel best when surrounded by important people of the high society.

 Positive Traits: These natives have a loyal and down to earth attitude in regard to most life matters and they try to show themselves as dependable and trustworthy individuals. Therefore you can be sure that when they promise something, they are going to go at great lengths to respect it. They are affectionate and warm but also hardworking and they seem to know when to combine the two attitudes.

 Negative Traits: These individuals need to understand that they can’t go about with this narrow vision they display over life at times and that they should adapt without turning into easily offended people or without being overly possessive. They can be extremely greedy and selfish, especially when those close to them indulge such behaviors and they don’t really see when a line has been crossed. They need to avoid dwelling in the past and adding frustrations.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on April 27 are sensual and passionate. These natives seem to prefer to enter a serious relationship than date around and are happier committed to one person with whom they can share everything. They are attracted to creative, enthusiastic and dependable persons whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you maintain your individuality and a degree of independence while you keep all your eyes on them but also offer them space. When they are single they don’t seem to mind solitude as they find it easier to delight on the pleasures of life on their own without having to worry about making their partner feel loved and protected.

 Elegant and sincere lovers, they are very attractive to the opposite sex.

All Signs

Cherry blossoms are in bloom, which makes travelling down certain streets a gift. “… like the cherry blossom, life is short and sweet and every moment is precious.” To be sure, this week, flowery romance is in the air because Venus joins Mercury and Neptune creating idealization, harmonious vibes, opportunities for new love, and a playful willingness to reach out and make the first move. This is because these planets are in Aries, which is upbeat and bold! However, romance is not the only quality that will thrive – the arts, poetry, painting and an appreciation of beauty will flourish. This is a week of passion, excitement, friendship and promise! (Hmm, what about bowling?)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are the artisan of the zodiac, which means you can do anything with your hands. (In particular, you know how to create and do things without training.) In part, this is because you love the challenge! You want to puncture the mystique of how something is done. You feel gratified with that “Ah ha!” moment that is a personal epiphany. This week, with Mercury (your mind and your hands) lined up with idealistic Neptune in your sign, you’ll be perfectly primed for all forms of artistic expression. Give free range to your creative impulses! You might want to study mysterious subjects, especially the occult or spiritual philosophy. And yes, romantic love will be selfless and generous. (Be still my beating heart.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The world of fantasy — daydreams and imagination — will be heightened for you this week. (Ah yes, your Spidey sense will be tuned to the max.) The upside is this will fuel your creative ideas and sense of wonder; however, it can also create a situation where you feel doubtful or confused. Be very clear in your personal communications. Others might misunderstand you or vice versa. Many of you will dabble in a secret love affair this week – at least, a saucy flirtation. (You ripe, juicy peach.) Fortunately, the Sun in your sign will keep your oars in the water and your bearing on land. Ask for what you want – you just might get it!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This week, Mercury, Venus and Neptune will be dancing together in your House of Friendships, which will promote warm, loving feelings with friends, as well as a sense of mutual admiration. In fact, for some of you, a friend could become a lover; or perhaps a platonic relationship will take on a hint of flirtation? On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Moon in your sign will bring you extra good fortune. (Why not test this out and ask the universe for a favour?) Nevertheless, you’ll be happy to take a backseat this week and hide a bit, so that you can regroup, recalibrate and regenerate. Be gentle in your discussions with others because you identify strongly with your beliefs at this time.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a lovely week for you! You’re popular and enjoying the company of friends, as well as members of clubs and organizations. But more than that, you will attract the admiration of others because they see you as appealing, sympathetic and clever. You might inspire someone with your words or actions. Or possibly, the reverse is true, and you will be inspired by the words and actions of someone else, especially a boss, a parent or a VIP? This is why some of you might strike up a flirtation or a romance with a boss or someone in authority. Whatever the case, things will flow smoothly this week – very smoothly. Smooth is nice. Smooth is good.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Mars is still in your sign boosting your energy and confidence. Tally ho! And the Sun is still at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. Hazzah! Oh yes, the gods are smiling on you this week. Meanwhile, an exciting new influence will inspire you to seek out profound ideas and higher philosophy. You might be attracted to religion or spirituality. You will certainly be intrigued by people who are different and remarkable in your eyes. This is because you want to admire someone. You want to be inspired by great ideas! Needless to say, this sense of open receptiveness is ideal for you to meet new love, whether it’s a person, a place or an experience. (Pretty heady stuff.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

I’m not suggesting you’ll be doing the Dance of the Seven Veils (although you’re imaginative with scarves); but you will be tuned in to a deeper passion and romantic idealism this week. This is why you’ll view a romantic relationship with someone as being close to perfection. You might feel this connection was “written in the stars.” Definitely your relationships will be more intense and emotionally memorable. (Oh yeah.) However, in another vein, (different arm), you might also show generosity and compassion to someone who is less fortunate. Likewise, in a flip fashion, someone might show great generosity to you. This week – people care.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Perhaps more than any other sign, relationships are key for you. You like the company of others. As a rule, Librans do not like to go it alone. Meanwhile, this is why you’ll love the energy this week because this trio of Mercury, Venus and Neptune is directly opposite your sign, promoting warm, congenial friendships, as well as a possible romance with someone special. Admittedly, you might be kidding yourself about something. You might overlook someone’s faults because you want everything to be perfect. Nevertheless, perfection is in the eye of the beholder. This is a truth that cannot be denied. Enjoy your heartfelt affection for someone because it’s a blessing to feel this way.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week your focus on partners and close friends is strong. In particular, you will find that you have more objectivity to view your role in these relationships, which means you have a chance to see how to improve how you act, what you say, and what you do. Major bonus! Meanwhile, a work-related romance will begin for many of you – at least, an exciting flirtation. Be careful that your admiration for a coworker doesn’t cloud your judgment about important issues related to practical matters in your job, or with your health, or dealing with a pet. It’s wonderful to be in love, but you still have to pay the rent. Fortunately, with Mars high in your chart, igniting your ambition, you won’t get too sidetracked. Steady as she goes!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

More than any other sign, you will feel this trio of Mercury, Venus and Neptune dancing with each other in an artistic, romantic way. Many of you will be swept off your feet by love at first sight! Others will feel a casual relationship heating up in a meaningful way. Things will feel too perfect. Too special. It might be wise to be cautious – a bit. It’s okay to have your head in the clouds as long as you have your feet on the ground. Artists will be prolific and full of imaginative, creative potential to express their talents. Even relations with your kids will be more affectionate in a sweet way. (Gosh.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This week promises playful, social outings, sports events, fun activities with children, and an increased enjoyment of the arts and the entertainment world. By all means, get out and enjoy yourself! However, something happening at home, or with a family member, will also be important to you. You might have a heart-to-heart discussion with a family member that is touching. It might redefine the relationship at a more meaningful level. Or you might feel thrilled because you have some decorating ideas or plans about your home that are inspirational and important to you. Certainly, home and family are strong values for every Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It would not be an overstatement to say that you are blessed this week. In my opinion, the reason you are blessed is that your ability to look around you and appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings will be heightened enormously. What a gift! It’s as if someone gave you some magic glasses to wear and these glasses make you see the beauty of everything around you. They also make you see the beauty and charm of the people around you as well. Small wonder some of you will fall in love with someone in your daily world, perhaps someone you didn’t really notice before? Oh yes, it’s the stuff of movies.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Short trips, travel, new faces, and new places are all things that will appeal to you this week. Nevertheless, you have lots of energy to work hard, which is why you will also accomplish a lot. What is very different, however, is this trio of planets – Mercury, Venus and Neptune – lined up in your Money House. (Most unusual!) The good news is this can heighten your imagination and your ability to dream up moneymaking ideas, or see opportunities to appreciate art, especially in its economic value to yourself or others. The downside however, is that you might spend too much money on luxurious, elegant things for yourself and others. Yes, this is fun – but you don’t want to end up broke. Be moderate. Buy yourself and others pretty treats. A happy compromise

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

To me being Pagan/Witch is not just the magickal or spiritual stuff it is a way of life. I try to help Mother Earth anyway I can from picking up other peoples trash to growing things in my yard that wildlife like and help to keep them nourished in this ever change state of Mother Earth. I feel I am a keeper of Mother earth for my descendants as well as others. I feel I need to do everything I can to stop fracking which is causing more earthquakes. To stop pollution on the water ways, I remember as a child being able to catch fish in rivers and lakes for a meal today if I go fishing it is catch and release because they may be poisonous to eat.

What type of things do you do to help protect and return Mother Earth to her state say 20 years or more ago?
