The Emperor is gifted with the skills to successfully lead others. He can turn chaos into order, provide structure to that which is unbound. He is quick of mind and confident in his power and right to rule, and does so in a just manner. Although stern by nature, he truly is the ultimate father figure. He will provide as needed, teach those with unanswered questions, protect the vulnerable, set and maintain boundaries. His perfect world runs on schedule and is free of any disturbances. What the Emperor must be wary of is setting boundaries and rules where none are needed. If he isn’t he may well become a tyrant.
When The Hierophant or Justice are among your personal cards, the influence of The Emperor may be increased. Having The Empress in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Emperor.
The Fool
This card represents the dreamer in you, the idealist, the mystic. The Fool desires to do great things, but is often unaware of just how difficult great things are to do. He must always be very careful of the choices he makes, and remember knowledge is his ally. The Fool often symbolizes a new beginning, unrestrained optimism, and curiosity that hasn’t been dulled by time. While The Fool may well indicate a lack of experience or grasp of the pitfalls along the path he is taking, it is equally true that his lack of experience leads him to believe all things are possible, which brings even impossible goals within his grasp.
When The Hanged Man or The Star are among your personal cards, the influence of The Fool may be increased. Having The Devil in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Fool.
The Tower is perfect card for the revolutionary or iconoclast or anyone who flourishes in rapidly changing environments. What The Tower brings to the mix is sudden, usually unexpected change. With that change there will be a period of disorder, and there may be loss. However, the loss is probably not yours, since you may well be the agent that created the change to begin with. Many positive things can occur from the change The Tower indicates: Truths will be laid bare, revelations and breakthroughs are not just possible but likely, and nothing spurs creativity like a good dose of chaos and confusion. In the end it is likely that what replaces what was lost in the fall of The Tower will be worth the loss.
Your vision is much broader than usual these days with Mercury in your sector of higher thinking, dear Aries. This can certainly bring a sense of more joy in your life. With Mercury in supportive aspect to Uranus in your sign, you’re in a great position to come up with exciting ideas and to communicate with extra panache. Today is strong for thinking outside the box, education, communications, travel, projects revolving around technology and new-thought topics, and for work and health matters. Surprise news can come and it’s likely to be pleasant or something that nudges you in a positive new direction. While you can have some great ideas today, you may need more time to finish a task, or you might need to draw upon more resources than you had first realized. Let your emotions and your need for action connect now, and feel the power.
Taurus
Taurus
Something that is communicated or news coming in today can help you let go of a past matter or move forward in a positive direction, dear Taurus. You are forward looking and can be inclined to want to share your feelings with someone you trust. It’s easier to see tricky or emotional topics a little more objectively today. Your intuition serves you quite well about financial matters, and to some degree about intimate relationships, but insecurities can be in the mix for the latter, so don’t form final conclusions about relationships for now. You could be feeling a little concerned about past actions and how they may be affecting your present, but aim to go forward with the faith that you can handle anything, and you’ll convince yourself and others that you’re moving forward.
Gemini
Gemini
You’re likely to see quite clearly what may have been tripping you up recently, dear Gemini, particularly in close relationships, and there can be real sense that you can move forward with an open conversation or with better communication. If you’re struggling with guilt and don’t quite know it, you may not be making the right the best decisions now. As such, listen to your ideas and intuition, but wait to act on it. Ideas that come to you now probably have quite a bit of merit. You may be sending out mixed signals now, however. Think about ways to unburden yourself in some significant way, as the freer you are, the more likely you’ll welcome positive new energy into your life.
Cancer
Cancer
You are bringing fresh ideas to your work and to your daily life today, dear Cancer. Decisions about work or health may not exactly be clear-cut now, but you’re seeing a way forward and have your eye on making improvements. You are especially interested in making progress now, and if you can find ways to keep things fresh and non-routine, you’ll enjoy a stronger feeling of freedom and optimism. You also have good intuition for money matters today, especially as you’re seeing finances as a means to feel freer. Open your mind to new ideas and methods for best results today.
Leo
Leo
This can be a strong day for advancing a project or coming up with progressive new ideas about your next step, dear Leo. You are anxious to move something forward, and you’re entertaining ideas or new methods to do so. To have fun or to take care of business – that is the question today, dear Leo! The Moon is in your sign all day, and it also harmonizes with Mercury, Uranus, and Venus, and this combination endears you to others and keeps you looking ahead. You have a stronger need to feel connected with others and for your emotions to be validated, and nice channels are available for you to express them again today.
Virgo
Virgo
You can swing between feeling utterly indecisive to acting upon impulse today, dear Virgo, but the best route now is to aim for moderation. Avoid taking on too many new projects, especially around the home, as you’re likely to feel their weight later. It’s a fine day for letting go of petty matters and for focusing instead on more spiritual or emotional issues. Allow yourself extra time for rest and don’t fret too much over deadlines or schedules. You are feeling just enough emotional detachment to enjoy yourself without too much self-consciousness. There can be inventive solutions to home-related matters.
Libra
Libra
This is a good day for finding inventive ways to advance your personal interests and projects, dear Libra, and you’re open to ideas from others. In fact, you can benefit from brainstorming. It’s easier than usual to breeze through topics and to socialize. You are in the mood for something different or unusual, finding it challenging doing the same old routine, and you may be pushing boundaries a little in your conversations as a result, perhaps in an effort to stir the pot in a small way and to keep things exciting. This can have interesting results if not taken to a point of discomfort.
Scorpio
Scorpio
You can be motivated to learn more in order to earn more, dear Scorpio, and you’re open to new ideas and methods. Information you uncover today can be helpful or a pleasant surprise. You could find that finances or work matters move forward, or you feel more optimistic about the direction in which they’re heading. Unexpected developments at or with work can figure strongly now, but are likely to be of the pleasant variety. Your intuition about health matters can also be strong now. While you may want to watch what’s communicated today as it may be taken the wrong way, resolve not to personally worry about what others are saying, as the tendency is similar – to misinterpret things. Follow your inner guide now.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
You are likely to feel quite free and courageous about expressing yourself in unique and spirited ways today, dear Sagittarius, with Mercury in your sign in harmonious aspect to exciting Uranus in your creative sector. Your more unique qualities, particularly related to the mind, are emphasized and appreciated. Relations with a partner may be up and down today – you could feel you’re making progress and then there can be something that’s communicated that is taken the wrong way. Aim to face it rather than avoid sensitive issues.
Capricorn
Capricorn
There is a lot going on under the hood in your life these days, dear Capricorn, with the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn in your privacy sector. Today, Mercury harmonizes with Uranus, opening you up just a little and encouraging you to reach out, particularly to family or those you hold dear. It’s a generally good time to address problems or simply to work with people you love to make progress on a practical or psychological problem. Inner restlessness can sometimes lead us down the wrong path, but today, it may motivate you to make a positive change or to improve your life somehow. By the time the Sun connects in the same harmonious way with Uranus in one week’s time, the ideas you come up with now may be ready to put into motion.
Aquarius
Aquarius
You are magnetic today, particularly in your communications, dear Aquarius. Good ideas are flowing freely around you, and especially as you relate to and interact with friends and associates. There can be a wonderful feeling of being in sync with friends and/or a love interest. Even so, there can be part of you that’s holding back, perhaps having to do with trust, and this can stimulate some self-protectiveness even as you are friendly and reaching out. Give tricky issues time before taking anything to heart. Look for ways to move forward, open up the lines of communication, and to put dysfunctional elements behind you. Tune in to ideas or information that seems to embrace change and the future with optimism.
Pisces
Pisces
When it comes to business and money, dear Pisces, you’re finding it easier to identify the things that are working for you and the things that need to go or improve. Today, you’re in a good frame of mind to see where you can excel by taking a small risk or by entertaining the need to improve in order to progress. Information that comes in or ideas you generate pull you out of any thinking rut you may have been in. You are approaching money-making and general life path issues with a renewed spirit. One-on-one relations can be up and down today, as just when you feel forward movement, an insecurity or fear seems to set you back. Overall, however, you’re taking bigger steps forward than backwards, so you’re in a better position by the end of the day.
You have the ability to light up a room when you enter it. Others gravitate to you naturally because you are very easy to like. Your charm is multi-layered. One of its main ingredients is your versatility. You love people and can easily imitate others, and your many faces appeal to many! As multi-talented and multi-faceted as you are, you are also very shrewd and determined. While you may seem to have a finger in many pies, you are not scattered in focus. Bored easily, you need movement and activity in your life in order to keep stimulated. The good news is you are capable of creating it, and don’t rely on others to entertain you.
Famous people born today: Ben Stiller, Clay Aiken, Bo Jackson, Billy Idol, Dick Clark, Jonathan Swift, Mark Twain.
Confidence and vigor are restored today, dear Aries. Applying yourself to artistic or other creative pursuits and hobbies today can be especially emotionally satisfying, but if this isn’t possible, try to inject more play or creativity into what you’re doing. Anything that allows you to express yourself as the unique individual that you are appeals now. With Fire signs supported and represented today, there is more natural energy to your life. If you pay attention, you are likely to notice that you’re not fighting the waves. Others receive you well and see you in a positive light. You’re interested in seeing justice done or you could be drawn to conversations about ethics. A partner is likely cooperative.
Taurus
Taurus
The Moon is transiting your solar fourth house today and tomorrow, dear Taurus, and your heart is with your home or familiar people and settings. You are in need of comforting activities and routines. Cocooning is a natural instinct now, and it’s part of a process or cycle that ideally brings you back to your emotional center before you push forward, and it may very well be what you need most at the moment. Do what you can to find quiet moments, but enjoy a feeling of emotional reinvigoration. There can be easy energy for organizing and rearranging and eagerness to be involved with children or family, or with those you know well and trust.
Gemini
Gemini
With your social and communication sectors emphasized and positive today, dear Gemini, you’re at your best if you feel connected and included. You’re also inclined to need some variety. Your attention span may be a little short if you are chained to a routine or if company is lacking, but you are likely to find ways to vary your routine in order to combat restlessness. It’s a good day for making contact and light conversation. Your communications tend to have more of a flow to them at the moment and others quickly understand what you are saying.
Cancer
Cancer
Life tends to slow down in a comfortable way, or at least you do today, dear Cancer, and this helps you to regain a sense of your priorities. Earthy activities suit you best today and tomorrow. Emotionally speaking, you’re in a brief but important building stage, and you could be especially interested in buying something special for yourself or your home. You’re craving a steadier, more predictable pace just for the time being, but you’re certainly willing to work for it. Emotions are settling and balance is sought. Business, financial, home, or commercial matters can assume more importance now, and you’re taking special pride in what you do.
Leo
Leo
The Moon entered your sign last evening and will stay in Leo until early Wednesday, and you can feel quite refreshed or as if you are beginning anew on an emotional level, dear Leo. It’s an ideal time for leaving behind emotional issues that have been annoying you or undermining your personal comfort, and for starting fresh. It can be quite easy and natural to channel your energy creatively and you’re likely to find some nice outlets for expressing or simply validating your feelings. People are currently valuing the very qualities that come naturally to you, and this can subtly boost your confidence as well as popularity.
Virgo
Virgo
With the Moon in your privacy sector until early Wednesday, dear Virgo, this is a time for quieter activities and perhaps some personal space or privacy. Even so, it’s a strong time for restoring a positive outlook and confidence or faith in others. The Moon is working in the background of your solar chart, but is working for you in a quiet way. This is a good time for tuning in to your feelings, as well as for reviewing the events of the last four weeks as a lunar cycle winds down. Rest, relax, and reflect as much as possible in order to regain your emotional center. Take the time to envision what it is you want, and wait until the Moon enters your sign on Wednesday to start actively pursuing your goals and making them happen.
Libra
Libra
There is positive, energizing emphasis on your relationship sectors today, dear Libra, and you can feel especially supported or connected with others. Interactions tend to be light and uplifting. Sharing ideas with others jumpstarts your own thinking processes. Even so, with Mars in your sign, you tend to be independent-minded and enjoy activities that you initiate these days. You’re certainly willing to offer advice and to speak about personal plans and goals, even if you are not entirely clear on their details. You are less interested in professional goals as you are in long-term and happier goals right now. These can be humanitarian and/or personal; either way, they are plans aimed at making you feel positive about your future.
Scorpio
Scorpio
After some ups and downs, you’re likely to be feeling more directed and goal-oriented today, dear Scorpio. The day’s steady, supportive energies benefit you most on practical levels, but you could also feel quite good personally and perhaps recognized and valued in some special way. Taking any new responsibilities in stride is part of this, and just one of the many ways that make you shine now. There is little to pressure you to perform, but you are motivated to do so anyhow. There can be the desire to go forward on a lofty project or goal, or a professional matter.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
With your sectors of spirit and creativity in harmony and prominent today, dear Sagittarius, your emotional energy runs high. You are seeking out non-routine, creative experiences, and finding ways to attach more meaning to situations, your endeavors, and your life. A higher purpose is something you’re seeking now. You’re in a friendly, curious mood, and others seem to either actively support you or part the way for you to allow you to get things done your way. Aim to relax the mind and adjust your vision to the big picture. Symbolically, you are beginning to move on, instead of nursing your feelings, suspicions, and worries. Life is a series of learning experiences, and you’re feeling that fully today.
Capricorn
Capricorn
This is a good day for checking in with your inner world, dear Capricorn, as well as to pick up signals from your environment that you normally miss. Good energy is for introspective activities. Being around people you trust and know well is a desire now, and you might be seeking out a deeper connection with someone or with yourself. There may be some focus on sharing resources or borrowing money. The desire to get to the root of problems is with you, and you have much to discover. It’s a strong day for renewing yourself emotionally, aiming to quit a bad habit, or doing some kind of research or investigation with good results.
Aquarius
Aquarius
People are attracted to you and tend to seek your company today, dear Aquarius. There can be interesting people or news now that subtly enrich your life or boost your confidence. Relationship matters occupy your mind more than usual with your sectors of communication and connections strong and positive today. After some confusing days, there is much optimism and a feeling of freshness around you now. Keep your spirits high, and avoid the traps of over-thinking, however. There is a big difference between reflection, which is creative, and over-analyzing matters – the former energizes you and the latter drains you emotionally. You’re likely to find that others are particularly cooperative right now.
Pisces
Pisces
You are in a short cycle that supplies you with more energy for organization, health routines, fitness, and work projects, dear Pisces. You’ll do well today if you focus on harmonizing or even beautifying your personal environment, and you’re likely to find that others are cooperative and supportive, or, at the very least, not interfering! This can be a quietly winning time as you tackle pretty much anything that comes your way. Take advantage of the added energy you have for solving problems, which may have been lacking in recent days. You are deriving more satisfaction than usual from the practical things you do and the services you render.

Strengthen your conscious awareness of other states beyond the physical, communicate deeply within yourself and learn to trust in your own answers.
When I read this message from Archangel Gabriel today, it is amazing to me how long ago it was written, and yet how relevant to my life it still is. Even though in 1996 our consciousness and perceptions were very different than they are now, the encouragement and answers to what we are seeking are still the same.
As we navigate the new 5D life, we have opened channels to communicate with the most Divine aspects of ourselves; and more importantly, we are learning to bring these higher frequencies into our lives on a mental, emotional and physical level. Through this union within us we become the wholeness that is Unity consciousness, and a blended being bridging Heaven and Earth within our human forms.
This is an amazing time when the veils between the dimensions are so thin that we have more opportunity for connections beyond the physical into the realms of the Angels and Masters who are supporting our evolution as souls. We access these dimensions by our vibration and intentions to hold higher frequencies within our minds and emotional states. It is through deeply quiet and prayerful meditative times we learn to communicate within ourselves; in other words, doing what the masters over the centuries have encouraged us to do.
We now know that it is only by taking the time to become familiar with these more expanded states of being, that we will have the access we need to the divinity within us. And we are reminded that it is important to ask for this connection with our Higher Self. Today we have reassurance from Archangel Gabriel that when we give ourselves this sacred space, we learn to trust our intuition more confidently and through this process it opens us to more Grace and Ease in daily life.
Divine Presence,
As I open my receptive channels, I invite the Golden Light of Divinity to flow through my being to anchor and connect me deeply with the Earth where I receive my sustenance. Sitting in this waterfall of Golden Light I know that I am in alignment with my Soul, receiving the flow of Divine Intelligence and loving guidance that is in my highest good at all times.
I ask my Higher Self to connect with me in pure Alignment with Source so that only those Beings of Light and Wisdom who are in harmony with my Soul Purpose in this lifetime come through to support me. I ask to be in resonance with my guidance now and in every moment.
Please help me to listen very deeply and gain strength in my connection to my Highest Self so that my trust in myself can blossom, and my connection to the Source of all Wisdom is empowered now and always. Thank you God, and so it is.
The Gabriel Messages #25
Strengthen your conscious awareness of other states beyond the physical, communicate deeply within yourself and learn to trust in your own answers.
Dear One,
You are here on this planet to develop yourself fully. When the ancient philosophers stated “Know Thyself,” they were talking about the power of Self-awareness. This means not just one’s consciousness of the physical, or even of the mental and emotional selves. To truly know oneself means a real discernment of your self as a multi-dimensional being.
You have the power within you to know planes of reality beyond the three-dimensional world in which you live. In fact, developing an awareness of these other states creates a link to the joy and love so many are seeking. These qualities you truly desire in life are beyond the physical plane. They exist in the expanded state of consciousness that is your bond with God, the Source of your very being. To commune within your self is to find these qualities. It requires a willingness to see beyond your outer self, and to take the time necessary to create a conscious awareness of the love and light within you.
Practice
As you sit quietly and breathe balanced breaths deeply and slowly, there are immediate results in mind, body and spirit. Imagine that you are sitting in a pillar of golden light joining Heaven to Earth through you. This allows you to enlarge your consciousness. When you add prayer asking for what you want in your life, you allow the grace of the Angels to work for you.
On this free-will plane of existence, you need to ask for their assistance or they will not interfere. This does not necessarily mean a formal prayer. Asking can be as simple as saying the words for the qualities you want in your life, such as Love, Peace and Harmony. Meditating on these qualities can literally change your life and create a more abundant, joy-filled existence. It allows you to tap into your Higher Self and your guardian Angels, so you are communicating with the deepest levels of your being.
From this place, the answers you receive will be from a level of Divine Intelligence, and all that follows will be for the highest good of all concerned. You will receive intuition and know the actions and words that will best assist you with the challenges you face. Once you begin to act on your intuitive guidance, you will start to trust yourself. Life will feel easier. You won’t need to continue looking to others for the answers. With every fiber of your being you will know what is truth in your life.
Trusting in yourself does not mean you are alone, for you are never alone. At all times, you have with you Angels to assist you. Some have been with you for eons of time. Working in harmony with the Light of God, they know you at the deepest level of your soul. It is comforting to know that you are always wrapped in their wings of pure love and cared for beyond your capacity to understand.
It is this link within the self that most people are seeking. They hunger for knowledge of the love that is within them. It is readily available through prayer and taking time to sit and breathe in Divine Light and Love in a conscious manner. So give yourself the gift of sitting in light and love every day for five minutes. It is a simple thing that will provide you with wondrous joy.
The Angels are ready now to lead you into the light of your true Self. Create a conscious relationship with your Higher Power and find the joy you so desire to have. Ask for assistance from the Angels. Begin to do this every day and miracles will surely occur, for miracles are your birthright and the natural state of your being. Know that you deserve to have your life filled with Love, Joy and Miracles. Learn to communicate within and trust in your own truth. This is the way you will live to your fullest potential and fulfill your highest destiny on earth.
We love you and bless you with all that is good. Remember your message from the Archangel Gabriel today:
Strengthen your conscious awareness of other states beyond the physical, communicate deeply within yourself and learn to trust in your own answers.
The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.
*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.
Weekly Forecast: November 29 – December 5, 2015
11/29 ~ Sun (core identity) ~square~ Neptune (dissolution):
This activation can cause self-doubt, self-delusion and an overall confusion that seems to be sourced within or self-directed. It’s only temporary, this is just the Universe’s way of slowing you down so you can see where your goals may have been unrealistic or based on flights of fancy. If your energy is low and you’re feeling challenged to see the bright side of things, it is better to just time-out, rest & replenish (if possible) and most of all, do not initiate any grand plans as you are not really seeing things as they truly are at this time. Luckily, this is a pretty short-lived activation.
11/29 ~ Sun (core-identity) ~conjunct~ Saturn (responsibility):
This energy gives you a strong dose of purpose & direction, but also reminds you that those big dreams require a solid foundation in order to flourish. The wheels that get set in motion this week are creating your future, for better or worse – so pay attention! While this is often about career matters, it is also about your responsibilities in general, the things you have to do that cannot be delegated to others. This is great energy for organizing and planning, creating order, and organizing your Self or your life in some way that fortifies your position. If you don’t “do the work” that you know you are supposed to be doing at the moment, you will only feel worse. So don’t delay anything that can, and probably should, be done sooner versus later. This energy can also make you feel a little lonely or depressed, don’t give in to that. There is a time to be out and about and time to get down to business. And right now, you have probably already put some things off and that is only going to contribute further to your stress levels. Make a list of things to do, prioritize them and start checking them off.
This activation gives you access to your Higher Mind and opens the way for new, deeper insights that can guide & direct you at this time. Business as usual will not work, it’s time to open up to the unusual, do something different, look at things from another angle and watch the ah-ha’s start pouring in. Your intuition will be firing on all cylinders, giving you access to unprecedented clarity. While your thinking may lack discipline, your ability to access solutions to any recent (or long-standing) challenges will be off the charts. This energy will not be contained, even though it is generally all mental, you really will have a hard time keeping up with the ideas, thoughts, concepts & intuitions that come to you under this influence so try to take notes that you can refer to later when the grounding will be necessary. Pay attention to the messages that come through/from others as well since you never know how the Universe will show up. This alone is an indication that whatever your consciousness may not have been previously ready to assimilate or process is awakening now to that which is just for you!
This energy challenges you to integrate your smaller vision with the larger vision for your life. On one hand, you can see the big picture in new ways, but on the other hand, you may not be very interested in the details that bring it about. This is another good one for expanding your consciousness and thinking outside the box, but as the insights come into your conscious awareness, be mindful of the steps it will take to make your ideas a reality. This activation is also great for course-corrections where your ideas are concerned and will open you up to learning something new or bring in a crucial piece of information, just keep in mind that you will have to stabilize anything you start and probably have to review some details down the road because of something you overlooked in your enthusiasm for the new Truth revealed from within.
The Moon today is in a Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with a illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9am and Midnight depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning. During this phase the Moon can also be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon.

This spell is meant to bind the energies around a person to stop them from effectively using magic.
You will need:
Full/New Moon/Sunlight
An energy source or an object of which energy can be drawn
Bowl of water – optional
First, take out a glass bowl, and fill it with water. This is used to gather energy for the spell, but if you don’t want to use the water, choose another energy source. Then, have the water reflect the sun or moon, and say:
Solar flare, Lunar mist
I call on thee this day
Bring forth your light,
strength and power,
so cast this spell I may.
(Imagine the sun/moon energy flowing into the water)
Like I stated above, this is completely optional. Now, to form the barrier. Draw upon your energy source, and send it towards your target. Once you have reached them, attempt to have your energy surround them in a bubble. Then, say:
Light, Earth, Spirits strong
Leave ‘s presence forever long
Let their powers cripple, and fail with dismay
I hereby banish your magic on this very day!
So mote/might/may it be.
Imagine the bubble drawing the energy from your target and all around him, draining him of magical resources. Continue feeding the bubble/shield/wall with energy until you feel you can release them.
WARNING: Use this with caution, there are currently no counter-spells to stop this. Secondly, there is a possibility your target can breach the barrier if she/he is physically touching a powerful energy source which has greater energy than the barrier itself.
Gestures are silent counterparts to words. Gestures can enhance Wiccan rituals when performed in conjunction with invocations or dance, or can be used alone for their real power. Pointing (as mentioned tioned above), the use of the first and middle fingers splayed to create a “v,” and the vulgar presentation of an upraised middle finger demonstrate the variety of messages that can be conveyed through gesture, as well as the range of our emotional responses to them.
My introduction to Wicca happened to include some of these old gestures. In 1971, I saw some photographs of magical protective gestures tures such as the mano figa (a hand clenched into a fist, the thumb jutting ting out between the first and middle fingers) and the mano cornuta, a “v” formed by the first and little fingers and held upside down. Both have long been used to avert the evil eye and negativity, and the latter is used in Wicca, with points up, to represent the God in his Homed aspect.
The magical significance of gestures is complex, and stems from the powers of the hand. The hand can heal or kill, caress or stab. It is a channel through which energies are sent from the body or received from others. Our hands set up our magical altars, grasp wands and athames, and pinch out candle flames at the conclusion of magical rites.
Hands, as the means by which most of us earn our livings, are symbolic of the physical world. But in their five digits lie the pentagram, tagram, the supreme protective magical symbol; the sum of the four elements coupled with akasha, the spiritual power of the universe.
The lines on our hands can, to the trained, be used to link into the deep consciousnesses and reveal things to the conscious minds that we would otherwise have difficulty knowing. The palmist doesn’t read these lines as streets on a roadmap; they are a key to our souls, a fleshly mandala revealing our innermost depths.
Hands were used as the first counting devices. They were seen to have both male and female qualities and symbolism, and images of hands were used around the world as amulets.
Gestures in Wiccan ritual can easily become second nature. When invoking the Goddess and God, the hands can be held uplifted with the fingers spread to receive their power. The Goddess can be individually invoked with the left hand, the thumb and first finger held up and curled into a half-circle, while the rest of the fingers are tucked against the palm. This represents the crescent Moon. The God is invoked with the first and middle fingers of the right hand raised, or with the first and fourth fingers up, the thumb holding down the others against the palm, to represents horns.
The elements can be invoked with individual gestures when approaching the four directions: a flat hand held parallel with the ground to invoke Earth at the North; an upraised hand, fingers spread wide apart, to invoke Air at the East; an upraised fist for the South to invite Fire, and a cupped hand to the West to invoke Water.
Two gestures, together with postures, have long been used to invoke the Goddess and God, and are named after them. The Goddess dess position is assumed by placing the feet about two feet apart on the ground, holding the hands out palms away from you, elbows bent slightly. This position can be used to call the Goddess or to attune with her energies.
The God position consists of the feet together on the floor, body held rigidly upright, arms crossed on the chest (right over left, usually), hands held in fists. Tools such as the wand and magic knife (athame) are sometimes held in the fists, echoing the practice of pharaohs of ancient Egypt who held a crook and flail in a similar position while trying ing disputes.
In coven work, the High Priestess and High Priest often assume these positions when invoking the Goddess and God. In solo workings they can be used to identify with the aspects of the Goddess and God within us, and also during separate invocatory rites.
Gestures are also used in magic. Each of the fingers relates to a specific planet as well as an ancient deity. Since pointing is a magical act and is a part of many spells, the finger can be chosen by its symbolism.
The thumb relates to Venus and to the planet Earth. Jupiter (both the planet and the god) rules the forefinger. The middle finger is ruled by the god and planet Saturn, the fourth finger the Sun and Apollo, and the little finger by the planet Mercury as well as the god after which it is named.
Many spells involve pointing with the Jupiter and Saturn fingers, usually at an object to be charged or imbued with magical energy. The power is visualized as traveling straight out through the fingers and into the object.
Other ritual gestures used in Wiccan rites include the “cutting” of pentagrams at the four quarters by drawing them in the air with the magic knife, wand or index finger. This is done to alternately banish or invoke elemental powers. It is, of course, performed with visualization.
The hand can be seen as a cauldron, since it can cup and contain water; an athame, since it is used to direct magical energy, and a wand since it can also invoke.
Gestures are magical tools as potent as any other, ones we can always take with us, to be used when needed.

This day of the week is dedicated to the moon and all of her magic and mystery. Mondays are for women’s mysteries, illusion, prophetic dreaming, emotions, travel, and fertility.
Some suggestions for Monday enchantments would include:
*Getting outside and looking for the moon in the heavens. Sit under her light and absorb a little glamour. Call on the moon goddess Selene for practical help in magical issues.
*Invoking the god Thoth for wisdom and insight
*Empowering your silver jewelry under the light of the moon. Wear moonstone or pearl jewelry today to add a lunar and magical shimmer to your outfit. Be mysterious and subtle and wear moon-associated colors such as white, silver, and blue.
*Working spells for safe travel with a simple moonstone

Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment
Think for a moment on all of the witchery, magick and enchantments that you have discovered. Don’t be afraid to adjust spells to suit your own specific needs. Any gentle, illusory, and dreamy charms and spells can be enhanced when you work on the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon. Mondays are a fantastic day to boost your psychic abilities and to tune in to your intuition and empathy. It also gives you the opportunity to work with a different lunar phase each and every Monday, which means in one month you could work four different types of moon magicks on Mondays. How’s that for adding to your repertoire? You are going to have mad skills in no time at all.
So light up those lunar scented candles and add a little mystique to your outfit by wearing an enchanting lunar color. Wear your sparkling silver jewelry and maybe add a pair of dangling silver earrings or a pendant shaped like a crescent moon. Create lunar potions and philters; make a dream catcher and give it as a gift to someone you love. Burn some sandalwood or jasmine-scented incense today to inspire the glamour and magick of the moon. Slice up a favorite variety of fruit that is in season for a snack or share it with your love and enjoy his or her lunar and romantic qualities. Brew up a cup of chamomile tea, enchant it with a little moon magick, and relax and get a good night’s sleep.
Most importantly, get outside tonight and watch the moon for a while. What phase is she in? What color was the moon as she rose? Why not start a journal and write down at what location the moon rises and sets for a few seasons? This is a great way to teach you to tune in and to become more aware of the moon and the influence that she pulls into our lives. Try calling on Selene for her magickal assistance, and call Thoth for wisdom and strength. Get to know the Norse Mani and the Latvian Meness. These gods of the moon have plenty to teach, and if you allow their influence to cycle through your life, you’ll receive many blessings. Be imaginative, and create your own personal lunar magick and witchery. Go on….the moonlight becomes you.

In the word Monday, we can see part of the word Moon. In the romance languages such as Italian or Spanish, this day of the week is called Lunes and clearly relates to the word lunar.On Mondays, a variety of magick may be worked. Because Monday centers on the energies of the Moon, things like psychism, dreams, feminine energy, health, success in spiritual pursuits, domestic matters, and things of family origin are especially important this day.
Mondays are best for love magick and anything concerning home or family, thus old saying, Mondays child is fair of face, which seems clearly to relate to the themes of love and health.
Angels of Monday are Gabriel, Arcan, Missabu, and Abuzaha. Arcan is known as the king of the angels of air and the “ruler” of Monday. Abuzaha (Abuzohar) serves Monday, and is very responsive to invocations and ritual magick. Missabu is a ministering angel of Arcan.
Check whether the moon is waning or waxing to determine what your spell will be. During waning moons, do spells to rid yourself of obstacles or for wisdom and protection. During waxing moons do magic for increase of any kind or to draw something into your life.
On Mondays, the best hour to work is moonrise. Get this information from your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac.
The Emperor is gifted with the skills to successfully lead others. He can turn chaos into order, provide structure to that which is unbound. He is quick of mind and confident in his power and right to rule, and does so in a just manner. Although stern by nature, he truly is the ultimate father figure. He will provide as needed, teach those with unanswered questions, protect the vulnerable, set and maintain boundaries. His perfect world runs on schedule and is free of any disturbances. What the Emperor must be wary of is setting boundaries and rules where none are needed. If he isn’t he may well become a tyrant.
This card represents the dreamer in you, the idealist, the mystic. The Fool desires to do great things, but is often unaware of just how difficult great things are to do. He must always be very careful of the choices he makes, and remember knowledge is his ally. The Fool often symbolizes a new beginning, unrestrained optimism, and curiosity that hasn’t been dulled by time. While The Fool may well indicate a lack of experience or grasp of the pitfalls along the path he is taking, it is equally true that his lack of experience leads him to believe all things are possible, which brings even impossible goals within his grasp.
