Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 8th, 2024 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 3.91 days old and 13.99% illuminated with a tilt of 154.683°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 405,092.92 km and the moon sign is Libra.

The Moon phase for August 8th, 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.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping and important decisions from 4 AM to 6 AM EDT today (1 AM to 3 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Delays and goofy mistakes plus equipment breakdowns, computer glitches and confused communications are frustrating at work. These challenges might even impact your health or your dealings with a pet. As a result, be patient with partners and close friends. Keep smiling.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Home and family are your focus. Social events are promising; however, old flames might be in the picture again. In an attempt to make health improvements or introduce reforms or better ways of doing things at work – be patient. Someone might oppose you. (It was ever thus.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’re busy with short trips, errands and time spent with siblings and relatives. Partly, this is due to dealing with family members and situations from the past demanding your attention. Fortunately, with Mars in your sign, you can do it all. (Be patient with your kids.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Delays and confused communications are frustrating, which is why you might be emotional when with family members. Cope as best you can because Mercury retrograde affects everyone. Meanwhile, keep your eyes open because someone might not have your best interests at heart.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a strong time for you, which is one of the reasons you have strong opinions today. Resist the urge to be bossy. (Although tempting.) Focus on delayed financial matters. Cheques in the mail might be late. On the upside, you might have a chance to redo something or buy something again.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Even though Mercury is retrograde in your sign, attracting people from the past back into your world, while at the same time, creating glitches like misplaced items, late appointments, confused communications to name a few – nevertheless, you can finish old business.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which might make you a bit more emotional than usual. However, when the Moon is in your sign, which happens for 2 1/2 days every month, it improves your good luck! Why not ask the universe for a favour?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Old friends and contacts with people you knew before in organizations or clubs are back in your world. This could help you in some way. Plus, it’s good to have history with others. Although you’re high viz. this week, today you will be happy to play things low-key. Keep your head down and your powder dry.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have strong opinions right now about travel issues or something to do with medicine, the law or higher education. Because of this, you might have a heated discussion with a friend or a member of a group. Keep it real. And keep your cool.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today others will know personal details about your private life because for various reasons, you are high viz. This might be due to dealing with others cultures, or travel delays might trigger this. You can finish a writing project.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Do something different today to shake things up a bit because you’re hungry for adventure and some stimulation. You need to break free from your routine! Be a tourist in your own town. Obviously, if you can travel – do so! You need to get outta Dodge.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You can accomplish a lot because you’re motivated to work efficiently right now. Furthermore, you’re inspired to make improvements at home, in part because increased activity and chaos where you live will demand this. Ex partners and old friends are in your world.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Tennis legend and humanitarian Roger Federer (1981) shares your birthday today. You have a strong work ethic. You are naturally good at everything; plus, you want to make things better for yourself and others. This is a year of service to others, primarily to family. Therefore, take care of yourself so that you can be effective. Time for a makeover?

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You have some things you disagree with and it is very hard for you to step over those misfortunes and accept those who have done you wrong, even with just a few words.

At the same time, you seem to be in good shape and quick to handle a lot of things on your own so it won’t be very difficult to make things work even yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might succumb a bit to the pressure exerted by your partner or your family or these parts together and you will have to do something others want you to do.

At the same time this will put a lot of frustration in for the mix and it will come a time when you will probably snap. Tough moment for those around you as well.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The current disposition prompts you to accept that you can’t change everything around you, especially things which are blatantly out of your control.

Especially in your relationship, there might be some limits to how much you can help your partner and some things that you can only hope they will sort out by themselves before anything else.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your love life appears to put a lot of pressure on you, especially if this is a new relationship.

This will definitely leave you a bit baffled as you didn’t expect for this to happen and you might as well confound these feelings with a lack of emotion and lack of interest in the relationship which is actually the worst way to go ahead with.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be tempted this Thursday to say more than you even think just for the sake of hearing you speak or for the sake of being the one who has the last word during an argument.

If you are able to support your sayings afterwards then good for you but if you are not, maybe it would be wise to censor all these impulses.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Money is going to be central to your behavior this Thursday but this doesn’t mean you won’t also get some compassion there in the mix.

It appears that the more you win, the more generous you become and the easier it is for you to be closer to people. Help others, simple acquaintances and not only people from your family.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your capacity is way bigger than what you are letting show this Thursday and people who know you will probably wonder why you are behaving like this while people who don’t know you will underestimate you from the beginning.

Try to set things straight from the beginning, especially in regard to relationships you care about.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A lot of fun but to no result seems to be the motto of the day and although you will be living in the moment, by the end of the day you won’t feel as if you’ve done much.

Therefore the risk of you falling into some sort of deep sadness because of that will be quite high. You will also have to find some quick solutions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Some things are going to fall today just like a cold shower but regardless of their magnitude, apparently it will be required something a lot worse to get you moving.

You are kind of stuck in your own means and don’t really feel like changing anything. Your partner might even be more bothered than you at the thought of what is going on.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It seems that you are easily influenced by anyone who comes to you with some sweet words and you kind of let yourself manipulated by people who are willing to invest even just little time in you.

Behave yourself and try to be stronger in this respect because otherwise, the next time around things are going to turn into you being taken advantage of.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Some changes are very possible at home but not what you aim for and of course the things you want to change are going to blatantly stagnate for a while and is basically nothing you can do about them.

Meanwhile you find some peace in doing things for yourself without a specific aim in mind and trying to put one brick at a time.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This Thursday might bring a bit of transformation in the way you work or how you live but it won’t be something permanent so you have very little to worry in this direction however.

At the same time you need to practice what you preach because people around are already noticing inconsistencies in your behavior.

Spell for Wednesday – Leaf Spell for Release

Leaf Spell for Release from thewitchandwand.com

Take a walk in nature and reflect on what no longer serves you. Collect a leaf and use it to cast this spell to let go pain and the past so you can summon peace and restore your sense of inner harmony.

I love casting this spell in fall, especially around the fall harvest festival known as Mabon. The fall is a wonderfully transformative time. As the leaves begin to change color and drop to the ground, we are reminded that sometimes we need to let go in order to change.

ITEMS NEEDED

leaf

ziploc bag

chopstick or something similar

STEPS

1. Go for a walk outside and reflect on what you would like to let go of

2. Collect a newly fallen leaf

3. Place the leaf in a ziploc bag and use the chopstick to “write” the thing you want to let go of on the leaf. Press on the leaf through the ziploc bag firmly enough to see the marks on the leaf, but be careful not to tear the leaf.

Take the leaf outside. Focus on releasing what no longer serves you and recite the incantation below. Let go of the leaf and release it back to nature.

“The past I leave with this leaf,

let go of pain and summon peace”

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)

This is the perfect day to ask for a loan or mortgage because doors will open for you. People might do favours for you or give you a gift. You might get an increased budget or equipment that you want for work. Meanwhile, romance with someone “different” will sizzle!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Relations with partners and close friends are warm and friendly today. Get out and enjoy the company of others. You will also enjoy the entertainment world, show business, sports events and fun socializing. Financial discussions will favour you. Ka-ching!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

You can also read this special Aries Daily Horoscope.

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.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

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.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Crescent Phase. Best seen in the west after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. This is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

Visit the August 2024 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Crescent Phase

The Waxing Crescent on August 6 has an illumination of 4%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On August 6 the Moon is 1.88 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.
