Author: Rev. Lady Carla Beltane
Merry meet Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests,
I'm an ordained High Priestess walking my spiritual path as an Eclectic Witch for over 45 years. I'm also a wife, mother of 5, mother-in-law of 4 (although I treat them the same as those, I gave birth too) and grandmother of 10. I am a spirit mother and sister to many of my dearest friends and apprentices. My magickal companions are a Chihuahua, Star, 11-years-old and Miniature Pinscher, Cleo, 14-years-old. MY beloved husband is known as Big Dawg. We also another canine fur kid, Merlin, 11-years-old. We all live very happily in a small home in a small town in Illinois, USA.
I enjoy helping witches find their spiritual and magickal path. More information for the novice or adept courses offered look under "WOTC's School of Witchcraft" on the main menu. Please email me at wotcladybeltane@gmail.com for further information about our novice or adept or private study with Lady Carla Beltane witchcraft courses.

Merry part and blessed be,
Lady Carla Beltane

M51: The Whirlpool Galaxy from Hubble
Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble, HLA; Processing & Copyright: Bernard Miller
Explanation: The Whirlpool Galaxy is a classic spiral galaxy. At only 30 million light years distant and fully 60 thousand light years across, M51, also known as NGC 5194, is one of the brightest and most picturesque galaxies on the sky. The featured image is a digital combination of images taken in different colors by the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope, highlighting many sharp features. Anyone with a good pair of binoculars, however, can see this Whirlpool toward the constellation of the Hunting Dogs (Canes Venatici). M51 is a spiral galaxy of type Sc and is the dominant member of a whole group of galaxies. Astronomers speculate that M51‘s spiral structure is primarily due to its gravitational interaction with the smaller galaxy on the image left.

June 13, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest
You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.
From MoonGiant.com
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.
Visit the June 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase
The Waxing Gibbous on June 13 has an illumination of 99%. 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 June 13 the Moon is 13.62 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.
The 8 Lunar Phases

Pagan and Magickal Terms and Definitions
Today’s Words Are:
Astral Plane
and
Astral Projection
From moonlitpriestess.com
Realm believed to be beyond space and time; considered by some as an alternative dimension running alongside the physical realm we currently inhabit where beings (including ourselves) can travel and interact in spirit or astrally; sometimes visited to perform magick that can affect change on the physical plane.
and
Also called astral traveling; the art of “leaving one’s body” while in a trance state to visit other locations or realms astrally, or “in spirit.” Traveling into the astral plane, generally understood as a parallel world unseen in our world of form. Studies have shown an individual successfully astral projecting can be seen and heard by a non-projecting individual on this plane, giving credit to this ability.
From Spells8.com
The multi dimensional plane within the astral realm where one can travel using their astral body.
Astral Travel – What Is It and How To Do It Effectively
The ability to astral travel is a lot more common and easier to do than people may realize. We all leave our bodies during the night when we sleep. Just enough of our soul essence is left behind to keep the soul connected to the physical body to keep it alive and functioning.
Often we leave our bodies during meditation as well. I love exploring the other realms of existence using astral travel as my means of transportation. Anyone can learn about astral travel, what is it and how to do it effectively.
Many of us are not even aware that we have already traveled in the astral realm The definition of astral travel or astral projection is:
-
Astral projection (or astral travel) is an interpretation of an out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of an “astral body” separate from the physical body and capable of travelling outside it.

All Signs
This is a marvellous week to socialize! Plan a party! Reach out and contact friends, as well as widening your social circle by meeting new people. In fact, it’s not just this week that promises fun energy – the next several weeks are perfect for summertime socializing! Mercury is in Gemini, which makes everyone eager to communicate and curious enough to engage. The Full Moon on Tuesday is powerful. Act on every chance to do good because what goes around comes around. But hey – always remember: You moon the wrong person at an office party and suddenly you’re not “professional” anymore. (Ain’t it the truth?)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a lovely, upbeat week for you because the Sun and Mercury combined makes you want to take short trips and talk to everyone. Your pace is accelerating with a busy schedule of errands and appointments. Meanwhile, with fiery Mars in your sign, you have lots of energy to do what you want; and lucky Jupiter (also in your sign) is bringing you good fortune and divine protection. (Oh yeah, it doesn’t get much better than this!) Meanwhile, Venus in your Money House, will attract money to you as well as entice you to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Be patient and helpful on Tuesday’s Full Moon.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your ruler, fair Venus, is in your sign now, which gives you a great desire to relate to others. It makes you warm and diplomatic when talking to friends. In fact, you will want to make peace if there is dissension. It’s the perfect time for vacations, parties, socializing, or doing whatever gives you pleasure – and who loves their creature comforts more than you? Basically, when Venus is in your sign, you will put pleasure above work. Nevertheless, let us not forget that you are the financial wizard of the zodiac, so you’re also going to keep an eye on your money and cash flow. (“What am I? Stupid?”) Swami sees all, knows all.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This week the Sun is in your sign, pumping you with energy. And now your ruler Mercury joins the party! This makes you want to express your POV to others; which, incidentally, you will do in an entertaining way because you will put a lot of yourself into whatever you have to say. Your mind will be busy and excited, which is why it will jump from topic to topic very rapidly. You will have a strong urge to get out and travel, preferably short trips. You will enjoy physical activity, (especially competitive) with groups. As I mentioned last week, many of you are still dabbling in secret love affairs. Go with the flow while your mind is exploding with ideas. You’re pumped!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Like everyone else, you will feel a strong urge to socialize and be friendly this week. Nevertheless, unlike others, you still have a desire to keep a low profile or work alone or behind the scenes. Therefore, the choice is entirely yours. Nevertheless, opportunities to hang out with younger people (especially creative, artistic types) will please you. Be patient with coworkers at the beginning of the week. After the Full Moon peaks on Tuesday, these relations will soften and become smoother. Act on your ambition to achieve because Jupiter is at the top of your chart making you look great in the eyes of others; and this blessing comes only once every 12 years. Use it!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You’re keen to socialize this week! Enjoy the company of friends as well as groups, clubs and organizations to which you might belong. You will especially enjoy meeting new faces. In particular, you might be stimulated by hanging out with younger people, who make you feel younger. Your idealism is aroused. However, one of the reasons you feel good is because people admire you. (We like.) In fact, this admiration could lead to a saucy flirtation with a boss. Meanwhile, your urge to get outta Dodge is strong! Take a short trip so that you at least, can get a change of scenery. This is a good week to think about goals and expectations. Likewise, examine your attitude towards groups. Do these people benefit you?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The Sun is still at the top of your chart, which means it is casting a flattering light on you. This is why bosses, parents and teachers are impressed with you even if you don’t do anything special. (Good lighting is everything.) As Mercury starts to move across the top of your chart, you will contemplate more serious plans about your professional life and your career. You might decide to take up a new study or learn something. Communications with others, especially bosses, will be important. Meanwhile, because travel for pleasure still appeals, grab every chance to take a short trip or fly somewhere to have a thrilling adventure. “Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we’re here – shall we dance?”
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are one of the most sociable signs of the zodiac, which is why you will love this week ahead because it is full of opportunities to schmooze and enjoy the company of others. Nevertheless, be careful at the beginning of the week, when champagne bottles are popping, because Tuesday’s Full Moon will create a slightly accident-prone influence for you. Therefore, think before you act or speak. In addition to this, Mars is opposite your sign, and this creates tension with partners. (These are the little things you have to watch for this week.) Aside from that, it’s a fabulous week to travel and meet people from other cultures. Romance will be passionate and affectionate. Gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. What’s not to like?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Financial issues come to a head at the beginning of the week – no question. Very likely, they will involve banking, bills, taxes and shared property – possibly inheritances. However, like others, you want to party this week, especially with Venus opposite your sign. When Venus is opposite your sign, it is literally the best position for all relationships – love affairs, friendships, coworkers, even time spent with your enemies. (“She’s not so bad.”) In part, this is because you will more easily express your affection for others. Plus, you are motivated to get along. Accept all invitations to par-tay!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Is this a marvellous week to socialize and have fun with others? Definitely yes. Does this week have the only Full Moon in your sign all year? Another definite yes. Therefore, be careful Sunday and Monday before the Full Moon on Tuesday, because you will feel tension building up with others, especially partners and close friends. However, once you pass that speedbump, it’s all systems go for the rest of the week! Fiery Mars will make you want to boogie with others and have fun. Playful activities with kids, sports events, the entertainment world – are all great choices. Have a picnic! Throw a barbecue! Invite coworkers because right now, relations with people you work with are excellent. (Maybe even cozy.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a marvellous week to socialize and enjoy friendly encounters with everyone. Nevertheless, your primary focus is to work efficiently and get things done. (It’s just what’s happening right now.) Despite the fact that both the Sun and Mercury want you to roll up your sleeves and get busy — fair Venus wants you to party! That means this is a week where you will do both. Work hard, party hard. Let’s face it, you have to deal with sorting things out at home – no question. (Increased activity and chaos on the home front continue to be a challenge.) Remember the advice of Oscar Wilde: “Hear no evil, speak no evil, and you will never be invited to a party.”
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Well, this week is play city for you! You’re ready to have fun and fortunately, so is everyone else. (Perfect timing.) Make a point of entertaining at home. Invite someone over. This will motivate you to act on your urge to redecorate and tweak your digs (which you want to do). You also want to travel, explore and talk to others, especially young people. Check out sports events and fun diversions. (After all you are the networker extraordinaire of the zodiac.) You love reaching out and connecting people because this makes you feel fulfilled in a worthy way. And to be sure, what higher calling than to remind everyone that we are interconnected all the time?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Live for today. Plan for tomorrow. Party tonight! This is your motto not only this week, but in the month ahead. Admittedly, Tuesday’s Full Moon might create a bit of tension at home on Monday. Fear not because this will be quickly resolved. Entertaining at home will be your best option because of your strong focus right now on home and family. In fact, many of you are tackling home repairs and having meaningful family discussions. Fortunately, Venus will make your words sweet, which is why your everyday interactions are warm and friendly. Caution about hemorrhaging money. You’re tempted to buy a lot of stuff right now – do you really need it? (Shoes? Well, that’s different. Of course!)

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 5:15 PM to 6:45 PM EDT today (2:15 PM to 3:45 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Quite often, Aries has a short fuse. (You know who you are.) Therefore, if you’re unhappy about financial matters today, or dealing with banks or talking to someone older or someone in authority – zip thy lip. You’ll be glad that you didn’t say something that you might later regret.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today Mercury is in your sign at odds with Saturn, and an opposing Moon, which means it’s easy to fall into an argumentative mode or be grumpy with others. Let’s face it, there is no upside to this. Your best choice is to demonstrate grace under pressure. Be cool.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today you have to make an effort to cultivate a positive frame of mind because it’s easy to default into a bad mood. The thing about a bad mood is that not only does it make other people feel ill at ease, it certainly makes you feel lousy. Remember – a smile is just a frown turned upside down. (Corny but true.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Avoid squabbles with friends and members of groups today because they will easily arise. Likewise, you might have disputes with your kids or about banking issues, inheritances or shared property. Yes, it’s that kinda day. Remember – patience is the antidote to anger.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is the classic day for family arguments, arguments with partners and spouses and arguments with parents and bosses. Oy vey. We all know that it’s hard to keep your shirt on if you want to get something off your chest. Be patient with others to avoid a nasty rift.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Steer clear of political issues and controversial subjects like race and religion because they will quickly escalate into an argument, which is something you don’t need. Put yourself first. This means don’t engage in arguments, instead value your own peace of mind. You matter.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Financial disputes are likely today, especially about inheritances, banking matters or something to do with your kids or the cost of a social event. These are all things that can get your belly in a rash. Meanwhile, you are one sign that needs harmony in your environment. Remember this.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with Mercury and Saturn. Furthermore, this is all taking place in Fixed Signs, which have a stubborn, unyielding quality. Avoid squabbling with friends and family over plans. Far better to chill out with a movie or something fun.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You might disagree with how a work project is going today. Or perhaps, your disagreement is based on something you’ve been worried about, which means you feel sensitive about this subject. You’re anxious. Instead, channel your energy into sports or some fun diversions.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Don’t threaten a warm friendship or relations with someone by angry squabbles today, which can easily happen. They might relate to a social occasion, or your kids, or something to do with the arts or the entertainment world. Stay chill.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Be aware that you are high viz. and people notice you today. All the more reason to avoid arguments with bosses, parents and authority figures because why end up with egg on your face? Not cool!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This could be an accident-prone day for you because of your emotions. That’s because you might be angry at someone and this anger will distract you from whatever you’re doing. Fortunately, Venus will soften your words.
If Your Birthday Is Today
41st US Pres. George H.W. Bush (1924-2018) shares your birthday today. You are sociable, friendly, witty and intelligent. You are curious about everything; and you hate to be bored. (This can make you change moods quickly.) You have excellent business savvy. This is a year of service, especially to family and friends. Therefore, take care of yourself. (Perhaps even do a makeover.)

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.
From MoonGiant.com
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.
