August 7, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 7th, 2024 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 2.88 days old and 7.91% illuminated with a tilt of 153.01°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 403,981.19 km and the moon sign is Virgo.

The Moon phase for August 7th, 2024 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.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You look good to others, which is why you’re popular today. Very likely, someone will do a favour for you or give you a gift or help you in some way. Meanwhile, some of you are involved in secret love affair, possibly with an old flame or someone from your past.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you have a strong desire to be included in something larger than yourself, which is why you might participate in group activities. You will certainly work harmoniously with others. Your relations with authority figures are solid. Travel plans will appeal.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Things will go well at work today, in part because you feel healthy and vigourous! Work-related travel is likely for many of you. Dealings with other countries or different cultures will also be successful. Romance with an ex-partner might be percolating on the back burner. (I’ll never tell.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Charlize Theron (1975) shares your birthday today. You are mystical and deep. You have hidden talents and are attracted to mystery. This is a year of change for you – exciting change. You might have to let go of something to have increased freedom. Seek out new opportunities. Act fast and trust your intuition.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are very impatient this Wednesday and it is either that things happen the way you want them and as quickly as you want them or that they don’t happen at all.

What you might not realize and what you might be blinded because of anger is that maybe things are stagnating because of you and it’s ironical but you might be the one who needs to step it up.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Given the current disposition, it will be kind of difficult for you to relate to people in your family, recognize yourself in them and find common points.

Therefore tensions are bound to appear and not everyone will understand why this is happening so maybe some past conflicts are going to surface as well, as to be given as explanations to what is currently happening.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

I know you have your plan all set up and are quite motivated to respect it this Wednesday but maybe sometimes not everything happens at the rhythm we are expecting it to happen.

You might even have to change the people you are working with. However, you are in a good shape and you manage to channel your energy in the right place, at the end at least.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It appears like this Wednesday you could be in better shape but you are constantly stopping or preventing your train of thought by either being physically interrupted by people around or by your mind thinking about a million other things.

Maybe this is not your best day to focus but there’s no reason to give up just because of that.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You need to be aware that the biggest enemy in all that you are trying to achieve is this complacent attitude of yours and your constant need of being recognized and of your activities to be supported.

Maybe this time you will have to do something in complete secrecy and you will only be able to show the results.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It seems that you are not viewing things in a profound way or at least closer to how they really are and this is making you say things you will eventually end up regretting, especially to people who are close to you and carry no fault into what is going on.

Spend more time thinking before you go around and start throwing with accusations.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will definitely suffer from fear of missing out this Wednesday although you yourself can’t explain why you are experiencing that as there aren’t that many events you would like to participate in.

This will probably fill you up with a bit of frustration and you might not know how to take things in but at the same time will make you more aware of your surroundings.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It seems that you won’t have time for rest the next couple of days and whether we are talking about work related activities or something that you’ve promised you’ll do at home.

You will have your day full. Just make sure you don’t give up in the middle of the activity as some people might depend on you.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The current disposition will put a bit of emotional pressure on you in trying to solve out a situation that has been troubling you lately and to the result of which you probably have contribute.

So maybe now it is time for amends so search for the person you need to make up to. Plan something nice and surprise them with your thoughtfulness.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This might be a great period for you to think of something you like doing and maybe even focus more on your body.

So why not spend some time outdoors or even start an exercising plan. It might be useful to involve your friends as well but nothing compulsory actually. Some things are not going to go as planned so maybe you should be warned about it.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It appears you are quite in good shape and all the pseudo lack of energy you are feeling is most likely due to you being lazy and not actually your body asking for any rest.

You either had plenty in the past few days or you are still holding up pretty well despite of all the work you put up with. So try and surpass this laziness.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This one appears as a great occasion to start doing something with your friends, maybe overcome your own laziness and selfishness and help them in their endeavors.

It might start as a humanitarian effort as well and soon you will probably get the hang of it. Make out of this a purpose and you will feel a lot more accomplished.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be patient with coworkers today because something might annoy you, or you might feel angry with someone. This might be because you’re working hard today and you could be taking on more than you can handle, which makes you exhausted and tired. Stay chill.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Be patient with kids today as well as romantic partners. In fact, all social occasions including sports events might trigger minor hissy fits and disputes with someone. Fortunately, these will be short-lived and by tonight, you’re in a happy mood.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Let’s face it, with fiery Mars in your sign, you’re a bit feisty! Mars can be in your sign only once every two years for about six weeks. Be patient with family members today, especially females. Delays, confusion and people who are suddenly ‘back on the scene’ might test diplomacy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is an argumentative day for many people, including you. If you are aware of this right from the beginning, you can practice patience when dealing with others because patience is the antidote to anger. Be cool. Demonstrate grace under pressure. You can do this.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Money squabbles or disputes about something that you own (or don’t own) might arise today. You will put a lot of yourself into whatever you have to say because the Sun is in your sign. Nevertheless, be careful and don’t do anything you will regret later.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with fiery Mars, which can trigger strong volatile emotions in you and others. This is why you might end up in a quarrel with someone or feel obsessed about something. Try to sidestep these issues if possible. Stay calm for your own happiness.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something related to travel, foreign countries, the government, medicine and the law could be a source of irritation for you today. (It might also be other things.) The result is you feel some angst, which is no fun. If you can work to make a change – do so. If not, don’t get your belly in a rash.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Avoid squabbles and arguments with friends or members of groups because you might regret this later. The thing is that people are irritable today, and that’s just what’s happening. It’s a short-lived and brief influence, so suck it up and move on. Don’t make enemies.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a poor day to ask bosses, parents and people in authority for permission or approval for anything because their response will likely be, “Talk to the hand.” This is because people are a bit short tempered and impatient with each other. Timing is everything. Today is not the day.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Steer clear of controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues because arguments will almost certainly break out today. This is not something you will welcome nor do you need it. Naturally, you have your opinions and you can share them – but today is a poor day to do this.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Money squabbles or disputes about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt or insurance matters might arise today. Actually, this is a poor day to enter into these discussions because people are argumentative and easily irritated. Choose another day to tackle these matters, if you can.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be patient with partners and close friends because many people are disgruntled or grumpy today. Cut others some slack. And while you’re at it, cut yourself some slack as well. Don’t make a big deal about anything. Stay chill.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Michelle Yeoh (1962) shares your birthday today. You’re adventurous and have a strong lust for life. You love mental stimulation and you resist routine. You work hard and party hard! This year is about creating solid foundations in your life both physically and inwardly. Explore martial arts and yoga. Stay grounded and levelheaded.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are going to be attracted to materiality a lot this Tuesday, from shopping to simply looking for stuff everywhere and admiring, from fashion to furniture and so on.

Maybe this is something that has deeper echoes and maybe you are trying to find your peace by attracting your thoughts from something that is really bothering you right now.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It seems like you are bursting with energy but you are not in the mood to be too active so you will probably boil like a kettle.

This will happen for either the whole day or at least until someone from your entourage has the intelligence to get you out of the state and easily attract you towards doing something that you generally enjoy.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are giving what is best from you and although you are not blatantly expecting the same, deep, deep inside you would like to be surrounded by the same degree of attention and care.

What you might find useful to learn today is how to react when you are not being given this and how to temper your frustration or even anger at this thought.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It appears like this is a great period for studies, research or even for finding meaning in something you already started working at, maybe something with a bit of a spiritual component in it as well.

Be prepared to follow your interest wherever they are taking you and don’t say no to collaboration or group work if that is the proposition.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are going to step out of your comfort zone for a bit these days but I wouldn’t worry that much because it will be something pleasant.

Although you might have to deal with new activities, these will most likely be in areas you are already familiar with and you trust yourself in knowing what to do and finding the right solution.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are on a peak of planning this Tuesday apparently and everything needs to be set until the last detail or else you will explode.

Take it easy and don’t adventure yourself towards areas you are not extremely comfortable. Don’t make too many plans as well because you will be extremely disappointed at the thought of not being able to deal with them all.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might have quite a few reasons of proud and satisfaction today but unfortunately, there are not related to you directly and this will probably make you sad, but they are concerned with people in your close proximity, either friends or family.

So learn how to celebrate them as well and be happy for what they have become.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It seems your need for intimacy and peacefulness will succumb any of your usually sociable tendencies and you are going to be focused, more than ever, on how to escape certain activities.

Maybe it might not be the best time to isolate yourself, especially if there are important things pending at work, but unfortunately sometimes these things can’t be planned.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You will benefit from unexpected help this Tuesday but don’t expect this to solve your problems because it won’t.

Maybe you will be given a good idea or a helping hand to begin with but then you will still have to sort the majority of what you have to do on your own. Avoid being too critical about your own work because it is affecting you more than you can imagine.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It appears that you shouldn’t have too many reasons to be upset or preoccupied today and I don’t say everything you are going through currently will sort out but I do say you won’t have to worry or bother with some of those things today.

So I would advise you to enjoy the peace and to use it to build strength for later on.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The current disposition is going to help your mouth and mind open so people around you should expect you to say exactly what you think.

At the same time, maybe it would be safe to wear this disclaimer with you, especially with people you just met because they might be surprised, and not necessarily in a good way, about this behavior of yours.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It appears that this Tuesday you are feeling more and more confident in your own powers and this will in turn help you relate better to people you so far found to be too inaccessible.

So do find ways to bring your interest to the front but at the same time don’t be too attached or fixed in your ideas and accept what is given.

The History Of Modern Day Witchcraft In A Nutshell

The roots of Modern Day Witchcraft (like Wicca) have roots back to 25,000 BC. Female figurines, images, and pictures of been discovered throughout Europe… all supporting a theory of a “Great Mother Cult”.

Throughout the centuries there have been many attempts to put an end to worship of the Goddess… all in vain. Goddess worship has stood the test of time.

Witchcraft has gradually evolved over time… and will continue to do so. Throughout the ages the term “Witch” has labeled healers, medicine men, seers, and every mystical practitioner in between. Not all “Witches” worship the Goddess, as witches are labeled as such in many areas, religions, and traditions of the world.

Up until around 1020 AD, “Witches” were seen in a positive light… healers…wise ones… seers. Many of them also understood how to use plants and nature for

Spell For Monday – Spirit Guide Connection

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Spirit Guide Connection

(find and connect with your Spirit Guide)

Who is your spirit guide? Are they real?…Yes! They are beings who inhabit the spirit world and are connected to you in some way– to protect you, to guide you, to teach you. You can call them angels, or guardian angels, or they may be spirits of your ancestors, or spiritual beings of a higher evolution than us. They may come to you as nothing more than a small voice in your head that you’re barely aware of, the voice that warns you of danger in the moment– the voice that makes you hesitate just for that split second that was needed when another car runs a red light, or convinces you to postpone a trip and avoid an accident. They may give you warnings in the form of premonitions, or dreams, or visions. They also guide you as you explore and discover your spirituality and your life’s path.

It’s imperative that you connect with your Spirit Guide, and the following spell will help you do just that.

Blue candles/Planet: Moon/Herbs: calamus, cardamom, jasmine, myrrh, sandalwood, vanilla/Stones: aquamarine, chalcedony, moonstone, sapphire/Visions Oil: star anise, angelica, kava kava*

Sweet Guardian Spirit, my teacher, my guide;
Touch my shoulder, stay by my side.

Travel with me on this journey called life;
Protect me from harm, evil, and strife.

Moon Alert

Caution: Avoid shopping or important decisions from 11 AM to 5:45 PM EDT today (8 AM to 2:45 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Do your best to cope with errors, equipment breakdowns, computer glitches, cancelled appointments and mixed-up communications because Mercury goes retrograde today in your House of Employment. (It might affect also your health and your pet.) Courage!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

As Mercury goes retrograde today, expect to hear from old flames who might even pop up in your dreams. Another aspect of this influence is that some of you will hear from your kids who have been out of touch for a while. Social plans might change today. Check details!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today Mercury goes retrograde, which means this entire month is the classic time for family reunions and hearing from family members you haven’t seen for a while. Stock the fridge because you might have guests on your doorstep. Family discussions about past issues are likely.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will feel Mercury retrograde this month because it occurs in the part of your chart where “Mercury lives.” Expect transportation delays and car problems. Give yourself extra time for travel plans so that you can deal with the unexpected. Communications are confused. (Yikes!)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Cheques might be late in the mail this month due to Mercury retrograde, which begins today. This could also create confusion in financial matters. On the upside, you might be able to easily wrap up old financial issues. This is a poor month to buy ground transportation (cars, trucks, bikes), computers and cell phones. Wait until mid-September.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today Mercury goes retrograde in your sign, which means this month will be full of goofy mistakes, delays, equipment breakdowns and confused communications. Expect to run into people from your past, especially ex-partners. (Look good because living well is the best revenge.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

We all feel the influence of Mercury retrograde for the entire month of August. However, you stand to benefit somewhat because Mercury retrograde will help you to research and finish old projects. You will easily find solutions to old problems. (Use this!)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have noticed you’re running into old friends or hearing from contacts, especially from groups and organizations to which you might have been involved. These people are popping up out of the woodwork! This will be in person or online or even in your dreams.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today Mercury goes retrograde and this influence will linger for the rest of the month. Sagittarians will likely encounter bosses and authority figures from your past, including parents. In some cases, you might not actually meet this person, but they’re in your thoughts more than usual or even your dreams.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Double check all travel plans and details dealing with travel itineraries because Mercury goes retrograde today and this influence will last for the rest of the month. On the upside, this will help you to finish papers, manuscripts and school projects. Yay!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

There’s good news and there’s bad news: the bad news is that Mercury retrograde might cause delays in financial matters and issues related to inheritances, taxes and debt. Cheques in the mail will be late. The good news is that you can finish loose ends related to shared finances.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today Mercury goes retrograde exactly opposite your sign. This will definitely attract ex-partners and ex-spouses back into your world. If you don’t encounter these people in person or online, you will still be thinking of them for some reason more than usual.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Mark Strong (1963) shares your birthday today. You have a steely determination. You are passionate; however, you can keep your cool. This is a marvellous year to socialize and enjoy yourself! Take time to nurture the happiness and beauty you have within. Let your guard down. Loosen up a bit. Old friends might reappear.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is going to be quite a passionate beginning of the week but some natives are going to feel this warmth from all the very weird places and not really understand why they are being attracted to certain people.

Even people in long term relationships might be tempted to try something new which surely won’t end up well.

You can also read this special Aries Daily Horoscope.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You need to make room for your partner but more like make time this busy Monday and the more straightforward you maintain things, the easier it is going to be for you later on.

But this doesn’t mean that you can force the impossible, if you are feeling stuck in your relationship, maybe it’s time to release yourself.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The more lucid you are trying to be, the more mature your reactions are going to look and actually be. If you want to make sound judgments, try first to accept certain things about you and then go along with constructive criticism for others.

You have quite a leader like attitude these days but this doesn’t guarantee that you will know how to use it also.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might be interested in a new lifestyle and you are doing a lot of things trying to contour that in your life but at the same time you are not very sure whether those around you will approve of that.

This being a deal breaker because although you are usually a fighter, this time you are not that enticed about the idea of supporting your choices out loud.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This beginning of the week you seem to be going through a period of wait, trying to clarify some things but better said, more like waiting for them to clarify on their own.

You are not very eager to put your share of work into that, not even with people in your family so this can only aggravate what you are feeling and experiencing.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If you have been postponing some personal health activities like going to the doctor or even to a dentist maybe you should finally gather your forces and get over with it.

Communication is going to also affect you, especially in terms of how you perceive what others are telling you. Don’t answer in a rush to anything that seems serious.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You need to establish from the beginning which are the rules in a relationship you just started, whether it is a partnership at work or something you are trying to build in love with the person you are most attracted to and who finally answered your feelings.

Arm yourself with a lot of patience and put all the cards on the table.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is going to be quite a busy day at work, especially if you are not able to set your priorities straight and you will more wonder from office to office than do too much work.

You risk dissipating your energy doing barely anything and at the end of the day you won’t be able to make a summary of what you did and you will probably find yourself in the situation to postpone a lot of activities.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Emotionally speaking I would’ve said you are doing ok but it appears your spiritual side is all of a sudden heightened by the current disposition and this search you are trying to start will definitely affect the way you feel and your mood.

So be prepared to feel sad or happy for no particular reason and be patient with people who are at their wits end with you now.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Given the current disposition, it seems you are focusing more on finding ways to relax yourself and to avoid getting involved into too much work.

Although this is what you sometimes need and should resort to that attitude more often, maybe this beginning of the week is not actually the right moment and continuing like this might do you more harm than good.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This Monday you seem to be more and more relaxed and this will affect you in the most positive way in terms of career and creativity.

Whether you are coming with the weirdest ideas or doing the things others might have been too afraid to do, it will be a good time to express your ideas and see where that takes you.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Maybe it’s time for a bit of a change of direction in your life but this will surely require a lot of courage from you, courage that you possess in theory but that you don’t often apply in practice.

Especially natives who find themselves emotionally obliged to do something in their personal lives are going to feel this more as a burden.

All Signs

Hear ye! Hear ye! Mercury is now retrograde until Aug. 28. It’s important to know that Mercury retrograde is a poor time to buy electronic items, ground transportation (cars, trucks, bikes), cell phones and computers. Furthermore, AFTER the retrograde is over on Aug. 28, Mercury will still be “behind” because it won’t catch up to the degree it was at when it first went retrograde until Sept. 12. Therefore, be smart: If you’re buying something expensive like a cell phone, a car or a computer wait until Sept. 12 or later. Disappointing, I know. Actually, I am planning to buy a new laptop, too. I’ve been planning to buy one for the last five years.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

“Where’s my sunglasses?” This week is about fun, pleasure and good times! Romance, social outings, vacations and playful times with kids on the menu. Having said that, delays at work plus, confused communications, errors, misplaced items, late deliveries and transportation problems are unavoidable. “Holy havoc!” You might hear from old co-workers or employees. This feeling of looping back into the past might also materialize with health concerns. Something that used to bother you might suddenly return. (This again?) Nevertheless, this is a fabulous, playful week! Sports, fun activities with kids, social outings and romance will dazzle!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Mercury retrograde is here, and it’s occurring in the part of your chart that affects the arts, sports, the entertainment world, the hospitality industry and all aspects of your creativity. It also highlights romance and children. Because this influence is about the past, almost certainly, you’ll meet old flames in person, on social media, in conversations with others or even in your dreams. You might also find yourself dealing with kids you haven’t seen for a while, or situations from the past. (“This again?”) However, this week is an excellent time to finish creative projects! If you’ve been writing, painting or doing something and you’re stymied by a block – you can have a great breakthrough!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a happy week for you because you will learn new things, meet new people and above all, travel and see new places! (You love this.) Yes, you will expand your world in an upbeat, fun-loving way! It’s an excellent time for writers, teachers, actors and salespeople. Meanwhile, with fiery Mars in your sign, you’re invigorated. You have energy! This will be a good thing because old family issues are back in your world. Family reunions might occur. You might be involved with family members you haven’t seen for a while. Memories from the past will be like clouds wafting through your mind. Fortuitously, this is the perfect time to finish home repairs.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Guess what you’re thinking about this week? Money, earnings and cash flow, which is a good thing because if you’re clever (and you are), you will see ways to boost your income or increase your assets and wealth. Ka-ching! Meanwhile, this current retrograde might hit you more than most signs. (Thud!) Expect transportation delays and car problems, along with mixed-up communications, missed appointments, confused meetings, misplaced items, computer glitches and an inordinate number of silly goofy, mistakes that are frustrating. Aarggh. On the upside, although these silly things require more time and effort on your part, they are not serious. They’re just annoying. Meanwhile, you can finish writing projects and old business. Bonus!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a powerful week because the Sun is in your sign dancing with Jupiter; and Jupiter is associated with enthusiastic groups. Furthermore, Jupiter is sometimes called Jove, which is the origin of the word “jovial.” Yes, it’s a fun week ahead! This means you’ll enjoy the company of others this week, especially groups. You might also include some kind of competition or physical sports. (Get ready.) Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde might slow things down financially for you. Cheques in the mail might be late. Financial negotiations might drag on. Be smart and double check everything because errors pertaining to money and cash flow are likely. (“No money left? How can that be? I still have cheques!”)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The two signs feeling the biggest brunt of Mercury retrograde this week are Cancer and Virgo. You will feel its influence because Mercury retrograde is taking place in your sign. (Gulp.) Confused communications, misplaced items, having to make several trips because you keep forgetting things, meeting people at the wrong place and everything running late, to mention nothing of computer breakdowns or transportation problems. Yikes! Don’t worry – you’re not losing it. These snafus are not critical; they’re just maddening. Fortunately, to compensate for this, you will have a magical ability to finish old business and wrap up stuff. You’ll be focused, energetic and productive. Major bonus!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a popular week. You’re energized! You’re happy to see friends. You’ll also be more involved with groups and organizations, and feel turned on by these experiences. You might even feel younger. New people or people from other cultures might enter your world. This might also happen because you’re keen to travel. However, while all this is taking place, you will have unique moments where memories from the past come back to you in an almost haunting way. Private moments. But they might give you a new perspective about things. They might make you appreciate your life now. Or they might reveal something you never thought about before. We are always learning.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

For various reasons, (according to the details of your life), you are high viz., which makes this is an interesting time for you. People definitely notice you more than usual. Fortunately, you make a great impression, without having to do anything special. This week in particular, you look successful, even affluent. You are also popular! (This is because Jupiter is influencing the Sun that is “casting you in its spotlight”.) I suggest you make the most of this. Ask for what you want because doors will open for you. Meanwhile, you will hear from friends from your past. You might run into them. You might encounter them on social media or hear news about them. Ditto for people you knew in clubs and organizations. It’s a week of interesting reunions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This week you want to do something to broaden your horizons. You might do this through travel (the best) because after all, you are the traveller of the zodiac. Or you might do this through study, or discovering new and unfamiliar experiences. You might meet people from different backgrounds and learn fascinating things through even the most trivial encounter. It’s the perfect week to take up a new study and learn – perhaps a new language? Some of you might be involved with the law. If so, the outcome should be favourable. Meanwhile, parents and bosses from your past, and all kinds of authority figures that you haven’t encountered for a while are either back in your world or popping up in your mind or even in your dreams. Curious.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This week you might be seduced by compulsive behaviour. These compulsions seem to overtake you. (“I can’t resist!”) Actually, this could be due to the fact that you want to experience life in a way that is deeper than an abstract or intellectual approach to things. You want to get your feet wet, as it were. This is also because you feel passionate about everything! You might feel passionate about romance. But you will just as easily feel passionate about travel, learning, or anything to do with your work. It’s as if nothing is casual this week! Grab any chance to relearn or take a class again. Meanwhile this is an excellent time to finish a manuscript or an important paper. You can also wrap up legal matters. Done!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Partnerships (or a friendship) are your focus this week. Think about those who are closest to you or those who play an important role in your life. Do they benefit you? Do you benefit them? After all, these relationships affect your world because they influence your thinking, which affects your decision making, which in turn, creates your future. Fortunately, this week you have more objectivity to see these relationships, which means you might see ways to improve how you deal with them. It’s also a playful week! Get out and schmooze and have some fun! And yes, it’s a good time to wrap up loose details with taxes, debt, shared property and insurance issues. (Oh, that.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have two strong influences this week: You’re gung-ho to work. You want to be productive. You’re setting high standards for yourself; in fact. some of you want to turn over a new leaf and approach life with new rules, new expectations and new ideals. (Lofty goals!) Meanwhile, you can’t avoid dealing with people from your past. Oh yes, this week will be full of meaningful encounters with old friends and ex-partners. Or you might hear about these people. You might read about them. You might even dream about them. It’s as if you’re caught up in some kind of tape loop from your past. On the upside, this could be an opportunity for closure, while others might re-engage a prior relationship. Anything is possible.

Spell For Sunday – Invoking Air with a Yellow Candle

Invoking Air with a Yellow Candle

Air is a life-giving element and a very precious one. It enters our lungs and triggers the body processes we need to live. Since the moment we are born and take our first breath, we can always rely on it: Take a deep breath and feel its energizing power.

The Air Element is considered a creative force and it offers a connection to the world of ideas. Even though we can’t see air, it has an incredible influence on all living beings. Because of this, its power lies in the strength to manifest big changes, to create something from nothing

5 August 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 5th, 2024 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 0.98 days old and 1.02% illuminated with a tilt of 170.8°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 399,905.99 km and the moon sign is Leo.

The Moon phase for August 5th, 2024 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.
