I will Get Back to All Regular Posts Soon, I Hope

This plus arthritis is what I and others deal with daily. Just because we don’t always need to use a cane or wheelchair or other mobility devices does not mean we do not have a disability. Weather changes really put me in a fibro flare which makes it hard to type and do a lot of other things. I will post as much as I can daily including things about Samhain for the northern hemisphere and Beltane for the southern hemisphere.

If you want to see information on any tradition of witchcraft, herbs, flowers, a Goddess or a God, or anything pertaining to any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. I will try to find some information to post about it.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and positive things!

Blessed be

…The Moon phase for October 19th, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

All Signs…

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Remember to get more sleep this week. Meanwhile, you have the advantage of being able to see your closest relationships with more objectivity, an influence that occurs only once a year. Use this to see the role you play in your closest relationships so that you can improve how you act. On Monday, Venus moves into your House of Partnerships to stay for four weeks. A priceless blessing! This is the best influence you can have for all relationships – love affairs, relations with partners, coworkers, even your enemies! This means in the next four weeks you’ll express your affection for others; and you’ll understand their needs. It will also be easy to make the peace with someone.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will accomplish a lot this week because you’re motivated to do so. (Motivation is everything!) This is why you’re gung-ho to work hard and to work smart. On Monday, Venus joins the team, which means you’ll enjoy excellent relationships with bosses and coworkers. In fact, financial favours might come your way. (This is good news!) Admittedly, with Mars opposite your sign, you will be easily annoyed with someone. And now that Mercury is opposite your sign as well, it will attract ex partners back into your world, or your dreams, or flitting through your thoughts. (Actually, one can see why being annoyed with someone might happen.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a fun-loving, playful time for you, which is why you want to be out there visiting people, places, restaurants, playing fields, gyms, watering holes, and stores plus, enjoying short trips and vacations. You want stimulation and fun! In fact, on Monday, fair Venus enters the most romantic part of your chart, which will encourage new romance, love affairs, pleasure outings, playful times with kids and creative activities. You will feel that there’s no need to pretend to be what you are not. You’re happy in your skin. Admittedly, you’re keen to work hard; and when Mercury retrograde swings into action, it will create delays and problems in your job. But not yet. Enjoy the good life!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Home and family continue to be your focus; and you might deal with a parent more than usual. Do something to make your home look more attractive – then invite someone over to see what you’ve done (and how clever you are). As Venus changes signs on Monday, it will improve your relations with parents and family members. It will also make you want to do something to enjoy your home more. Your playful spirit will be aroused, and you’ll want to pursue mental activities for their own sake – board games, reading, and fun hobbies. You don’t have to justify anything with a practical motive – just please yourself. You might begin to have flashes and dreams of old romances. (Funny how memories can soften the sharp edges of things.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be a bit tired because your busy pace is exhausting! Short trips, visits, errands and appointments keep you on the go. Fortunately, starting Monday, you’ll be blessed with the ability to appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings – something that so often eludes us. You’ll find it easy to be charming with everyone. In fact, you might make money from your words through writing, selling, marketing or acting. Admittedly, home life is a bit chaotic; and as this month progresses, relatives from the past might end up on your doorstep. Stay tuned to your deeper, private values and ethics because this will keep you sane.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’ve been thinking about money, cash flow and earnings this week — how to improve them or save what you have to the best of your ability. Fortunately, this is an excellent week for financial negotiations and business transactions! Even borrowing money shouldn’t be difficult. You might also spend money on art objects and beauty. You might notice that your communications with others are a tad aggressive. You’ll be quick to speak up and state your opinions. You’re ready to say what you mean and mean what you say! Be aware that as the month progresses, goofy mistakes, missed appointments and transportation delays will start to increase. Yes, it’s that time again – but the last one for this year. (Whew!)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

On Monday your ruler, fair Venus moves into your sign to stay for the next four weeks. Bonus! This will increase your desire to relate to others, and will also make you charming and diplomatic. (Another bonus!) It will promote good times with friends; and encourage vacations and doing anything that you enjoy because Venus always ranks pleasure above work. You’ll attract people to you – romantic or otherwise, and this will please you. Meanwhile, with the Sun in your sign now, you’re empowered! And Jupiter at the top of your chart makes you look successful! Admittedly, you’re spending too much, even as you tell yourself this. Unfortunately, cheques in the mail are late. Similar delays to financial matters might plague you. Argh.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Mercury is now in your sign, and as the month progresses, it will slow down, and attract people from your past back into your world, including ex-partners and old flames. If you don’t meet these people in person or on-line, they’ll pop up in your dreams and your thoughts. Meanwhile, with Mars in your sign, you have energy to burn! You will surprise even yourself at how much stamina and perseverance you have. Travel opportunities will appeal; however, with the Sun and fair Venus hiding in your chart, you are surprisingly content to be low key and just take it easy. Make an effort to express your views to others. Your mind is busy and it needs to be occupied with useful projects. Ideas?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your popularity will continue to grow because Venus enters your House of Friendships on Monday attracting friends and groups, and promoting parties, social outings, good times and a shared enjoyment of the arts. Any situation where you deal with groups settings (like a business conference or an organizational meeting) will be favoured by Venus. You will get along with others. In fact, for some of you, a friend might become a lover. Welcome this blessing over the next four weeks to get along with others so smoothly and in such an enjoyable way. Meanwhile, you can excel doing behind-the-scenes research and digging for answers to questions and solutions to old problems. “Eureka!”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

On Monday, Venus moves to the top of your chart creating favourable circumstances for your business and professional life. This means that bosses, parents and people in authority will admire you. (It’s smoke and mirrors – but it’s real.) For example, you will probably be asked about how to make something look better – such as design, layout work, office redecorating or PR work. It could be a page, a room, but people want your advice even if this is not related to what you do. Meanwhile, relations with authority figures are so cozy, you might have a flirtation with a boss or begin a romance with someone more established. (Marrying rich is one of life’s laboursaving devices.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Travel plans and any opportunity to expand your world will appeal to you now because you need a change of scenery and you want a chance to learn something new. Basically, you want to expand your world! As Venus changes signs on Monday, it will increase your chances for pleasure trips and opportunities to see art exhibits, pristine nature or anything beautiful that stirs your soul. You might enjoy concerts, museums in other countries or art galleries where you live. You will also be attracted to new people who are different from your experience. A romance with someone “unusual” might begin. As Mercury retrograde nears, run-ins and/or memories of parents and bosses from your past will occur. This could be pleasant – or not.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Issues about shared property, taxes, debt, including money from the government, mortgages and loans are all on the table for your sign at this time. Fortunately, because Venus is just moving into this part of your chart, you are favoured! Venus will encourage government employees and institutions to open their purse strings in a way that will benefit you financially. Venus will also make romantic relationships more affectionate – and more memorable. Expect opportunities for fun and pleasure because both Jupiter and Mars are encouraging adventure and playful times for you! Get out your dancing shoes! Oh yeah!

A Little Humor for Your Day

I hope the rest of your and your family have a day and evening that is relaxing, filled with fun, laughter, and love. Always remember to take a little me time every day to recharge yourself!

Merry part until we merry meet again!

Tarot Card

7 of Swords – Minor Arcana

Bad Feelings; snooping

A man is carrying away seven swords from an open chest just behind him. The lock on the chest is broken, so he is stealing what is not his. On a shelf above the chest, two tiny Fire dragons are screaming in anger. The little dragons try to warn him, but he refuses to listen. The thief has forced open the perilous box of universal, magickal knowledge within his subconscious mind and thinks to steal away with the power (swords) he found within. Only an initiate, who has studied and brought balance to all areas of his life, is given the key to open this perilous chest of wisdom and power. The thief has found a shortcut to gain what he wants without the work or dedication. He believes he is above the Law and will not suffer karmic consequences. However, he is wrong, for the Law will always be balanced, regardless of human desires to the contrary.

Divination Meaning: You are creating trouble through the wrong use of personal power. Failure of a plan may come about because of wrong motives. Do not snoop into the affairs of another; you will get burned. You feel cheated or wronged.

Shame isn’t all bad and does not deserve a uniformly awful reputation. Without shame and the fear of being shamed, every human child would be demonically bratty. Shame is a limit that informs us to keep our own ego in check. It is often about considering others. Having shame about one’s own past behavior is motivation to avoid shameful behaviors such as cheating and stealing.

Shame is an emotion that demands confrontation. All too often, people run away from what shames them, attempt to excuse themselves from wrongful or immoral behavior because they’re too cowardly to face what they have done or to admit their responsibility in causing their own misfortunes or the misfortune of others. Ruis indicates a willingness to face one’s own shame and to do with shame what it was meant for, and that is to use shame of the past to build oneself into a better person for the present and future. Ashamed of something you did? How can you make yourself into…

The Hunter’s Moon is back and it is a Supermoon

Information About October 2025 Full Moon Source: abcnews.go.com

When can you see the full Hunter’s Moon?

The full moon will reach peak illumination in the United States on Monday, Oct. 6, 2025, according to NASA. (According to other websites about Full Moons the date for this years is October 7th)

“The evening of October 6, look up and be amazed as the full moon is bigger and brighter because – it’s a supermoon!” a post on the agency’s website read. “This evening, the moon could appear to be about 30% brighter and up to 14% larger than a typical full moon.”

The Hunter’s Moon also doubles as a supermoon

This year’s October full moon, known as the Hunter’s Moon, will also shine as a powerful supermoon.

A supermoon occurs when the moon reaches the closest point in its orbit to Earth, making it appear bigger, brighter and more radiant than a typical full moon.

According to NASA, this Hunter’s Moon kicks off a rare series of three consecutive autumn supermoons, promising an especially striking night sky.

Some Times it Really is Awful Being a Strong Empath

Let me start with saying I am not trying to be political or force what I feel and think about the state of the United States of America’s leader and his administrations policies. I am sharing this post so you know why posts have been limited for a while. 

I come from a long line on both sides of my family tree of empathic women and men. AS many of my ancestors are my protectors and spirit guides my empathic ability is very strong. I have approximately 12 levels of protection and shields up to keep out other people and animals feeling and energy but some times, like now, even this does not keep everything out. With my health being what it is right now and trying not to put to much of my negative, chaotic energy into my posts for you is a struggle this is why I took time off last week and am doing minimal posts now. I am picking up so much negative and scared energy from people because of what is going on in the country I was born, raised and live in. We thankfully live approximately two hours away from Chicago and many of its suburbs but as you know energy let out to the universe travels everywhere. As I write this my hands are shaking, my heart is racing and I just want to cry. The man voted into the highest position in our country is trying desperately to skirt around the Constitution and its Amendments any and every way he can or simply ignoring them in my humble opinion.

Did you know our president is put into office based on the Electoral College votes which means even if an opponent has more of the citizens votes but not in states with more Electoral votes that they cannot win the presidential election? Yes, our vote counts in deciding which party the Electoral vote goes to but if we live in a state with only a few votes our voices are not really heard.

I ask each person reading this post that no matter where you live on Mother Earth to pray for or light a candle for protection and safety of the men and women deployed by being in the National Guard or ICE by their Commander in Chief and for all the local, county, and state law enforcement and other first responders drag into this. Please remember all of these men and women are following orders given to them ultimately by the highest ranking person of power in the USA. I have not put the persons name or the direct office he holds in this because I could loose WOTC and be put on a watch list as a in country terrorist. He is trying to take away our very right to free speech!!

If you have read this far I thank you for helping to keep all the men and women deployed and catch up in this mess!

The Moon phase for October 7th, 2025 is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).

The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.

The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

All Signs…

Aries (March 21-April 19)

First off – let’s remember that you need more sleep and more rest this week. Factoid. If you don’t get enough sleep, you’ll be grumpy. Actually, this is a big risk because this is a grumpy week! Fortunately, you’ll have more objectivity to be able to see how you relate to spouses, partners and close friends. This is an advantage! However, disputes about shared property, inheritances and financial matters might create power struggles with someone. Be as gracious as you can be when dealing with conflicts that arise – for your own benefit, as well as anyone else’s. That brief relish you might get from a withering response, later settles into feelings of regret and self-incrimination. If you can help it, don’t be a schmuck.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The good news is you’re pumped to work hard this week, and being focused, directed and motivated can help to keep you out of trouble. The bad news is that you’re so focused and keen on being efficient and effective, you might be annoyed with anyone who does a poor job or gets in your way. Cut these people some slack because they won’t be as motivated to work as hard as you are right now. Fortunately, this is also a romantic week for you, despite the fact that there will be power struggles with partners and close friends. With lucky Jupiter in your House of Communications, you will maintain a sense of optimism and a positive attitude no matter what happens. (Well, almost.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The overall goal this week for your sign is pleasure, happiness, fun excursions, vacations, romance, sports and playful activities with kids. To say nothing of the entertainment world, show business and enjoying restaurants and hotels. Oh yes – you intend to have a good time! Nevertheless, power struggles with coworkers or issues related to your health or even a pet will arise. You might have difficulties with a family member? Someone might do something that catches you off guard that is annoying? So, you will have your testing moments — but on the whole, your desire to have fun and enjoy yourself will prevail!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are a nester and so it’s not surprising that home and family are your primary focus this week. In fact, some of you will be more involved with a parent. Power struggles with children might take place, which of course, goes with the territory. Be patient. You’re the adult. Guard against knee-jerk reactions, which could make you end up with egg on your face. Short trips might be cancelled or changed. Someone might discourage you about something. But for the most part, you are safe because lucky Jupiter is in your sign (which can happen only once every 12 years) – and this divine protection will stay until the middle of next year! Lucky you!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A fast-paced week! Short trips, increased reading, writing and studying, conversations, appointments and errands are just some of the things that will give you a jampacked schedule. Fortunately, nothing seems to thwart these activities and your purpose to get things done. (That’s quite amazing.) However, increased chaos and activity on the home front could encourage power struggles with someone, perhaps a partner. Difficulties with a parent might also arise. Squabbles about money and possessions could be irksome. Nevertheless, you will handle these as if you were sailing through an army of angels that created a freshening of the air. (Doris Lessing.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week your focus is on money, earnings, cash flow, purchases and your possessions. All that stuff. Actually, you’ll make excellent headway dealing with these areas, not only organizing your finances and assets, but also giving some serious thought to your values and what is really important in life. This matters. Guard against nasty, little power struggles with neighbours, siblings or relatives. In fact, an emotional or angry distraction could create an accident-prone situation. Not good. Expect some frosty moments with partners and close friends but these will be brief. Warm feelings of friendship will prevail. This is also a lovely time to buy wardrobe items for yourself whether new or used. (Oops – pre-owned.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are empowered this week because the Sun is in your sign. (Welcome this opportunity that can happen only once a year!) Because the Sun is the source of your energy, you will be able to project yourself with more forcefulness than usual. This is why you’ll make a great impression on everyone this week. Nevertheless, power struggles about money, earnings or possessions might take place. Travel plans might be suddenly cancelled – or initiated? Issues with publishing, medicine, the law and the media might catch you off guard. Overall, things are good because lucky Jupiter, at the top of your chart, makes you look successful to everyone. Nice!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is another week where you feel a strong inclination to be low-key and hide behind the scenes or work alone. To be sure, with both Mercury and Mars in your sign, pumping your communication style and making you more aggressive, you won’t hide all the time. Tread carefully because power struggles with family members are likely this week. Remember that family is forever — so don’t say anything you will later regret. Double check banking details and anything related to inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property because a small surprise, or something unexpected might occur in these areas. On the upside, relations with friends and groups are cozy and reassuring.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are a traveller who adores animals. This week your popularity will focus on two-legged mammals, singly or in groups. Why not use this opportunity to share your hopes and dreams for the future to get feedback from your friends? This could helpful. However, (in hushed tones) be on the lookout for someone who might not have your best interests at heart. They might create problems for you. Note: If you suspect something fishy is going on – it is! Expect a surprise from a partner or close friend, perhaps related to an older family member or a parent. Keep your eyes open. New romance with someone older or a boss or a mentor-like figure might occur. Hmmm.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This week the Sun is at the top of your chart, which symbolically casts you in a flattering spotlight. This is why others (especially authority figures) admire you. You’re Teflon! Because you have this advantage, this is a good time to advance your agenda. Nevertheless, be aware that power struggles with friends and groups, possibly about money, funds and possessions might take place. These disputes might be with someone younger, or related to some kind of a competition. Unexpected conflict at work (probably minor) might also catch you off guard. It’s good to know about these possible glitches; but this doesn’t mean you should not plow ahead – because you should. You’re empowered!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is an exciting time because travel opportunities and a chance to explore new horizons are possible for many of you. You might take a course or go back to school. You might pursue avenues in publishing, the law, medicine or higher education. On top of this, support from financial institutions, inheritances, plus gifts and favours from others will benefit you now. Social outings might be cancelled or strained. Parents will be wise to be vigilant about their kids to avoid accidents. This is a tricky week because power struggles with parents and authority figures might erupt, especially related to your own ambitions. This conflict might make you want to run away and join the circus. Actually, you’ll be able to enjoy some fun getaway time just for you. “Wheee!”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Issues are passionate this week. It seems like everything matters – and of course, it does. Certainly, you will address shared finances, shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances with a stronger than usual focus. With Venus opposite your sign, relations with those who are closest to you are sweet and supportive. That’s nice. Nevertheless, arguments and power struggles about controversial issues might arise. Don’t get bogged down in discussions about politics, religion and racial issues because things will get nasty. However, these disputes might relate to the law or medicine as well. Pay attention to everything you say and do because this week is a mildly accident-prone influence. Despite all these “warnings”, on the whole, this is a positive week!
