Flashback 2004 Samhain

Expect the unexpected if you celebrate Samhain – the Celtic New Year – on All Hallows Eve: the planets bring a lot of energetic talk and chaos, and the resultant noise will add exuberance to the ritual. Look for psychic dreams on astrological Samhain, November 6; your intuition will be in top form if you do readings at ritual. The power is the strongest it has been in several years.

This is the sabbat for wearing your witchy black. Clean the house, including the hearth, from top to bottom; the garden also needs to be prepared for the winter by this date. Lay new fires. Fest with your family and set places for your ancestors. Cleanse divination tools (cards, crystals, runes) and rededicate them to the Goddess. For the last harvest festival, put apples, nuts, acorns, and squashes on the altar, and add pictures of the family members you are missing.

Using fresh harvested hazel nuts, make a wreath with nine nuts (three times three) to protect your house from fire and lightening. Offer thanks to the river gods or the gods of the sea, and remember to honor the goddess Hecate.

Flashback 2004 Beltane

Beltane is he holiday that draws all witches outside to celebrate the returning power of the Sun and the fertility of the land.

Wear red robes for ritual and dress your altar with reds for passion. If you have identified a nearby rowan tree, you can make a wreath for your hair using rowan twigs. Decorate your house with freshly cut greens, herbs, and flowers. Arrange for music or drumming to lighten your steps of the dancers of the maypole or spiral dance. Lose yourself in the dance.

Fire is the honored element at this ritual, so have circle members jump a cauldron for purification and protection. Watr is another honored element: be certain to visit your local sacred spring or riverbank. Sprinkle perfume into the water for the undines. Again, leave a drop or two of milk and other food offerings for the nature spirits.

Wake before dawn on this day and watch the Sun rise over a river or beach. Gather a pitcherful where the Sun has gilded the water. When you return home, walk the bounds of your land, sprinkling water in your garden beds to ensure plenty of rainfall during the growing season.

Spell for Tomorrow -BASIC CANDLE SPELL c2010

BASIC CANDLE SPELL

Depending on your goal, you will need to choose a candle color that is appropriate for your task.
Different colors represent different things, for example, if you want to use this spell to gain money,
you choose a green candle, because green represents money (as well as other things).
If you wanted love, you would use a pink candle (or red if it’s actually lust you want).
Take the candle and make 7 notches in it, all equally apart.
Using virgin olive oil, dress the candle, rubbing the oil on it from the middle to the bottom,
then the middle to the top.
Place the candle in a sturdy candle holder (preferably metal, glass may shatter) and light the candle.
Concentrate on your task while the candle burns down to the first notch.
Burn the candle each night to the next notch until it has completely burned out.
Look at any god correspondence chart on a wiccan website to see which color you
want for the different types of spells you could adapt the above basic one to.
You can also write out what you want in rhyme and burn it after saying it like an incantation.
3×3 times works well. Keep any ashes and wax and make into a ball as a Talisman or keep in
a spell box in case you wish to reverse the spell.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS  ON OCTOBER 19, you are a person who is flexible and open-minded. You have no trouble making friends as you are sensitive to others and their needs. However, being the friendly person that you are can sometimes be misunderstood and get you into some minor disagreements.

You’re impartial but have the ability to see both sides of a situation and are able to compromise. Often times, you are the center of attention. It’s a natural and magnetic October 19th birthday personality trait that you have. This can cause jealousy and envy among your peers.

If today is your birthday you like being around other people, however, you are secure being your own best friend. You seem to express yourself well or so say your business associates, family, and friends. They appreciate your energy, loyalty, and astuteness.

Additionally, the 19th October birthday horoscope foretells that you are dependable and practical. You can pick apart a situation and analyze it. This could come in handy for your profession.

Your career choice could be based on how you feel about performing certain tasks. If you feel good about helping someone, then maybe social work is a field suited to a October 19 Libra birth day person. You, in addition, could be good as a therapist or a minister.

Usually caring professions are sought after by those with your gifts of attracting people. More often than not, those people have problems. They come to you for advice anyway so you may as well get paid for it.

As an alternative profession, you enjoy politics and find that changing things for the better gives you great rewards at the end of the day. You seek, in your own way, to make things better for those less fortunate. The October 19 zodiac birthday individuals have a tendency to be dedicated to linking people with programs that may advance their lives.

In life, you may find that it has its share of ups and downs. You have found your own way of dealing with those little setbacks or stumbling blocks. The October 19 birthday astrology analysis shows that you probably have the wisdom to know that knowledge comes with trial and error. If you don’t learn from your mistakes, then you end up repeating them.

When it comes to risking your money, you learn fast. Nonetheless, sometimes in life, you may have to take a gamble in order to get ahead. With a Libra born today, you can rest assured that your money is safe.

But the October 19 birthday personality also take their health for granted. Being young and active this is not so bad as you tend to ward off diseases and minor illnesses without much effort. However, as you get on in age, this could become a problem. Age has a way of showing up in many places mainly around the stomach and hips. You could take better care of yourself by eating a healthier diet and taking walks at least 3 times a week.

The 19 October birthday meanings also show that you are well-liked. You are smart, sensitive and practical. As a friend, you are dedicated and loyal. Some people are envious of your attention-getting magnetic force.

As a young Libra, staying active was easy but not so much as you get older. However, you can maintain a fit lifestyle by walking at least a few times a week or biking. Since you prefer to be around people, take a friend. It will make the time go by much faster and it won’t seem like exercise. Professionally, you’d make a great therapist or politician as you find that helping people is highly rewarding.

All Signs…

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week relations with partners, spouses and close friends are warm and rewarding. Make an effort to get out and have fun! On Monday, you’ll be staunch about defending your best interests about inheritances, banking, taxes, debt and shared property. Not only will you stand your ground, you will dictate terms. Ironically, these are the same areas that will assume a greater importance for you in the next several weeks, as the Sun moves into one of your Money Houses, specifically, the one dealing with jointly-held property, wills, inheritances and estate issues. You might meet someone that produces some soul-searching or psychological self-inquiry. (“Hi Sigmund.”)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week the Sun moves opposite your sign to stay for the next four weeks. This happens once a year and when it does, it symbolizes that the Sun is as far away from you as it can get all year. Because the Sun represents energy, this means you will need more sleep in the next four weeks. (Go to bed.) However, this polarized position of the Sun is a blessing because it allows you to have greater objectivity in seeing the role you play in your closest relationships. This could be helpful and informative. This is not the time to go it alone in your activities. Work with others. Seek out opinions. It’s an excellent time to consult experts – consultants, lawyers, specialists or astrologers.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might feel confused about a friend. Perhaps you’re disappointed in them? But did you express your expectations? Are they aware of your disappointment? This subtle influence might bubble beneath the surface of things. Meanwhile this week, you’re gung-ho to work! On Monday, you’ll be active and busy – hands-on, in an aggressive way. (You might be a tad bossy dealing with others.) Nevertheless, you will get a lot done! By midweek, the Sun will change signs, to stay for four weeks — motivating you to work, be productive, and be healthy and self-directed. You want to be the best you can be!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Parents are involved more than usual with their kids now through physical activity, competitive sports or anything related to the arts – the theatre world or musical performances. Meanwhile, you’re putting fun and pleasure first! Many of you will redecorate where you live and enjoy entertaining family and friends. Others will slip away on vacations “to trip the light fantastic”. It’s totally appropriate to put yourself first for the next four weeks because this is the one time of year when the celestial heavens are encouraging you to do what you want. Let yourself be free-spirited, lighter and eager for good times!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week the Sun joins Mercury and Mars to heighten your focus on home and family, especially if guests, residential moves, or renovations are creating turmoil. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves to fix things or do home repairs. Family discussions might take place. Fortunately, fair Venus is in your House of Communications making your dealings with your daily world more pleasant and lighthearted. In turn, you will have a greater appreciation of beauty in your everyday surroundings. Take a short drive to enjoy the scenery! Enjoy being with friends and groups. Seek out the company of others. Incidentally, this is a good time to ask for a loan or financial support. Ka-ching!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Suddenly, you have places to go, things to do and people to see! You might also be more involved with friends, neighbours, relatives and business associates. Slip away on a vacation if you can. You do feel the need to talk to others, which is why you will seek out someone to share your ideas. However, be careful: both Mercury and Mars are in your House of Communications right now, which will make you identify strongly with your opinions and make you a tad argumentative. (Take a breath if you see the hair blowing back over someone’s ears.) On the other hand, this is a great time for those of you in sales, marketing, writing and acting. “Listen to me. I know things!”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Libra rules haute couture, which is why so many of you dress well, and are colour coordinated. Shopping for clothes, and watching how others dress fascinates you. Good news! This is an excellent time to shop for wardrobe goodies. Meanwhile, this week, the Sun joins Mercury and Mars in your Money House to stay there for the next four weeks. (This is the only time all year this happens.) This heightens your involvement with money, movable property and cash flow. You will give more thought to the resources in your life – and the stuff you own. Does your stuff help you? Or is it a nagging problem? Now is the time to establish greater control of your life through your possessions.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Chatty Mercury and fiery Mars are in your sign boosting your energy and making you talkative. That’s why you’re keen to express your ideas. It’s also a great time to get out and travel. On Wednesday, this week, the Sun moves into your sign to stay for four weeks. (This can happen only once a year.) Happy birthday! With the Sun in your sign, you will tend to attract people and favourable situations to you. The thing to know is this is your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year! That’s why this is the one time of year when your first duty is to yourself. If you don’t fulfil this duty, you’ll be of little use to anyone else. Remember: For the next four weeks — you come first!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your personal year is ending. This means the next four weeks are like a time of limbo. You’re in the wings “waiting” for your queue to make your big entrance. That makes this the perfect time to ponder how well you are doing at the art of living? Why not set aside a few moments to think about what you want for yourself in the future? 10 years from now? Five years from now? Two years from now? Next year? Take some time to jot down some goals because goals give you a clearer focus on what’s important to you. They also give you more clarity in decision-making, and better control over your future. (You like to have a sense of purpose.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Life looks good with fair Venus at the top of your chart opening doors for you. You will attract people and situations that promote your good reputation. Bosses and authority figures are favourably inclined. People admire you. Regardless of what you do for a living, someone will ask for your artistic advice about how to make something look better. Some of you might fall in love with a boss or a teacher. Meanwhile, this is a popular time for you! You might be involved with younger people, competitions or competitive team work. You might also be more involved with clubs and organizations. This is a great time to set some goals to keep you focused.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

For the next four weeks, the Sun is at the top of your chart, symbolically thrusting you in the limelight. This happens once a year and it means people admire you. They might offer you increased responsibilities. Ironically, you don’t have to do anything different. (Ah, the power of good lighting.) Since this smoke and mirrors trick comes along only once a year – by all means, use this to your advantage! Speak up. Ask for what you want. You might make a bid for a raise or a promotion or a parking spot. It could be anything. For sure, the next four weeks are the time to ask. Meanwhile, travel for pleasure beckons. Grab every chance you can to get a change of scenery!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a favourable time for you to attract money to you from others – a spouse, a business partner, a bank or the government. It’s also an excellent time to seek a loan or a mortgage. Meanwhile, your intimate, personal relationships will be affectionate in a gentle, loving way. New romance might begin for some of you. Midweek, the Sun changes signs joining Mercury and Mars in the part of your chart that makes you want to explore the world more. You will want to travel, study and talk to people from different backgrounds. New and unfamiliar experiences will appeal. Enjoy reading and writing; however, get out more so that you can be involved! You need stimulation!
