This reading focuses on your ambitions and dreams.
The Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune represents that aspect of life that is directed by forces and events we may not understand or even be aware of. In short, The Wheel deals with chance—those occurrences that manage to alter even the most structured of lives, usurp man’s “best laid plans.” While the effects of The Wheel are unpredictable, the outcome is always change; sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Our path through life is never a ride down a perfectly straight highway. Sometimes we may even experience hairpin turns or complete reversals of direction. The Wheel of Fortune is strong reminder that despite our plans, the Universe has its own agenda from which we cannot escape participation.
When The World or The Fool are among your personal cards, the influence of The Wheel of Fortune may be increased. Having The Hierophant or The Emperor in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Wheel of Fortune.
The Magus
The Magus is the physical embodiment of decisive action based upon knowledge and aimed squarely at specific goals. While firmly set in the material world, he none-the-less has a powerful spiritual connection as well. His knowledge, wisdom and skill are all encompassing. He is complete. His power as a creator is unmatched on our earthly plane. He is self-aware and unafraid to act. His enormous strength gives him the freedom to act as he chooses. However, responsibility comes with that freedom. Because he is not bound to the restraints of others he must choose how to act. The question that always lies before him is should he act morally, or forsake ethics for personal gain.
When The Chariot is among your personal cards, the influence of The Magus may be increased. Having The Empress or Hanged Man in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Magus.
What has traditionally been known as the Devil card expresses the realm of the Taboo, the culturally rejected wildness and undigested shadow side that each of us carries in our subconscious. This shadow is actually at the core of our being, which we cannot get rid of and will never succeed in taming. From its earliest versions, which portrayed a vampire-demon, this card evoked the Church-fueled fear that a person could “lose their soul” to wild and passionate forces.
The image which emerged in the mid-1700’s gives us a more sophisticated rendition — that of the “scapegoated Goddess,” whose esoteric name is Baphomet. Volcanic reserves of passion and primal desire empower her efforts to overcome the pressure of stereotyped roles and experience true freedom of soul. Tavaglione’s highly evolved image (Stella deck) portrays the magical formula for harnessing and transmuting primal and obsessive emotions into transformative energies. As a part of the Gnostic message of Tarot, this fearsome passion and power must be reintegrated into the personality, to fuel the soul’s passage from mortal to immortal.
Our emotions should begin to stabilize when the evocative Moon plods into steady Taurus at 2:07 am EDT. But the Taurus Full Moon occurs at 8:05 am, confronting our need for simple pleasures with the complexity of interpersonal dynamics. However, shocking Uranus is agitating lovely Venus, awakening unconventional desires. Thankfully, we are given an opportunity to address the more complicated aspects of our feelings as we seek fulfillment in love.
Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19
You are acutely aware of what is missing from a significant relationship today. Nevertheless, you may still feel pretty calm and confident as the steadfast Taurus Full Moon sheds her light in your 2nd House of Self-Esteem. However, you could also feel the thrilling spark of inspiration by discovering a simple solution to a complex problem. But don’t assume you can make your dreams come true just because you are committed to taking a practical approach now. You must express what’s in your heart if you want others to join in the dance.
Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20
It’s healthy to ask difficult questions as you search for the hidden meaning of life. Nevertheless, the Taurus Full Moon brightens your 1st House of Personality, revealing more about your emotional uncertainty than you prefer. Responding to people’s assumptions about your inner process is a challenging task today. Thankfully, you will have plenty of opportunities over the next couple of weeks to process all the knowledge you learn about your most valuable relationships. Never underestimate the power of a beginner’s mind when it comes to matters of the heart.
Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20
Your self-protective mechanism swings into operation today, camouflaging your true feelings and keeping your heart safe. The Taurus Full Moon lands in your 12th House of Secrets, reminding you of how much your fantasies impact your daily life. Luckily, you won’t have to work so hard to suppress your dreams once you acknowledge the difference between illusion and reality. Although it isn’t easy to pin down your emotions now, it helps to stick to the basics. No matter how tempting it is to space out, your common sense will ultimately see you through the confusion.
Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22
You are typically comfortable with your changing moods but you might go out of your way to avoid them today. The fixed Taurus Full Moon illuminates your 11th House of Social Networking, encouraging you to seek stability in the midst of a crowd. Happily, your friends and associates provide you with a reliable emotional anchor that can moderate the vagaries of your passions. Leaning on others is fine as long as you don’t let them talk you out of your feelings. Even if your desires take you places that make you temporarily nervous, it’s important to stay in touch with your heart.
Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22
You’re riding waves of irrepressible feelings that could test the mettle of your professional relationships now. You may be questioning how much of your emotional life to bring into the workplace while the Taurus Full Moon highlights your 10th House of Career. You would like others to know more about you, but you don’t want to overwhelm them with drama that could detract from your performance on the job. Being transparent with those you trust makes sense, but otherwise err on the side of caution when it comes to personal disclosure.
Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22
If you already have a plan in motion for reaching the stars, then it’s crucial to stick to it as closely as possible now. However, if you’re flying by the seat of your pants, the earthy Taurus Full Moon offers you a chance to create a sensible strategy as it reinforces your 9th House of Big Ideas. You can achieve your dreams, but don’t get carried away with your enthusiasm. Focusing on the simplest tasks enables you to end up at the most distant destination by taking one small step at a time.
Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22
Your life may be so loud now that you are tempted to escape into your dreams to ponder the mysteries of the cosmos. Although the steady Taurus Full Moon offers you a solid place to stand while exploring your 8th House of Metamorphosis, the shifting sands of reality are not as stable as they seem. It’s impossible to see around the corner today because a major transformation is in process. Don’t try to hold onto old assumptions. The more willing you are to let go of the past, the brighter the future will be.
Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21
You might believe that your interpersonal communication skills aren’t as effective as you wish. However, your prime directive is changing as your thoughts turn inward to reconnect you with your spiritual core. Today’s Taurus Full Moon shines in your 7th House of Partners, reflecting your feelings back to you through another person’s perspective. Forget about the complicated issues that plague your life and the little details that fill your day. For now, keep everything as simple as possible while sharing your heart in the present moment with someone you love.
Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21
You are reconsidering the promises you made at work and are willing to renegotiate your commitments, if necessary. The down-to-earth Taurus Full Moon grounds your 6th House of Daily Routine, advising you that a pragmatic approach to your job is wiser now than harboring unrealistic ambitions. Be satisfied with your current position today, instead of plotting and scheming to get further ahead. Patiently listening to what others want enables you to bargain more effectively for what you need in the long run.
Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19
You’re eager to indulge in pleasure today, but you’re still not willing to slack off and let your commitments fall to the wayside. Luckily, you’re the happy recipient of positive cosmic vibes while the sensual Taurus Full Moon dances in your 5th House of Play. Put your artistic talents to work. Focus on your dreams, even if they momentarily seem unattainable, and they will play a growing role in the coming weeks. Let your creative brilliance be a guiding light not only for yourself, but for the rest of the world, too.
Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18
You may be trying so hard to inspire others at work that it creates static at home. Family issues must be addressed while the Taurus Full Moon settles into your 4th House of Domestic Conditions. Luckily, your current dilemma won’t be dramatic enough to throw you off track, since you have your priorities in order and can manage the temporary stress. Nevertheless, don’t pretend that everything is fine if it is not; others will quickly see through any attempts to embellish the truth. For the sake of simplicity, be honest right from the start.
Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20
Share your current plans with your closest friends as soon as you can, for it will only become more complicated the longer you wait. Oddly enough, people may seem overly irritated today if you aren’t willing to express your point of view. However, the Taurus Full Moon activates your 3rd House of Communication, reminding you that honesty is the best policy. Nevertheless, once you start explaining your opinions, it might be hard to stop before you end up saying too much. A little objective self-regulation tilts the scales in your favor.
You express yourself with authority, sometimes intimidating others without ever intending to do so! Your mind is sharp and incisive, and your wit is on the ball. You have the benefit of both analytical skills and perceptive understanding of others. It is hard to put anything past you! When you care about someone, you are generous to a fault. Although you certainly possess business sense and ability, you are not a traditional businessperson in that you have a strongly idealistic and humanitarian side to your nature.

Your sign is known for earthy beauty, from sensuous curves to brawny muscles. Dress up as Miss America, who made a huge splash this year, or Mr. Universe to show off what you’ve got. You can also dress up as Poison Ivy or a walking tree to channel the Bull’s love for green pastures. Taurus also loves to indulge, so don’t hesitate to dress yourself up like a sweet cupcake!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
What better way to dress up than to be Siamese Twins with your best bud or girlfriend? You can literally be joined at the hip! You could also go as famous real-life Twins, such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Or a famous real-life Gemini, Angelina Jolie. Gemini is also an androgynous sign, so be a half-man/half-woman creature … or just go in drag!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Your sentimental sign loves the homeland, so express your patriotism as the Statue of Liberty, Uncle Sam or America’s true ancestor, a Native American.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
What better way to channel your sign’s mascot than as the Lion from The Wizard of Oz, or in a sexy cat costume? And of course, glamorous Leo rules over royalty and stars, so dress up as a king, queen or just wear tons of gold. Or go as an A-list celebrity or movie star, like Marilyn Monroe or Elvis.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
This perfectionistic, word-loving sign can express its erotic earthiness as a sexy librarian. Virgo is also associated with Demeter, the grain goddess … so a chaff of wheat may be right up your alley. Virgo is a great pet lover, so you could dress up as an animal — a cat or dog or even a fox costume, which are selling out this year. Or go as a classic Virgo good-girl, like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz — and don’t forget her pet, Toto!
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
What better way to bring balance to this holiday than to dress up as Justice? A scale in each hand would help you make sure everyone gets their equal share of candy, especially if you’re dressed up as Judge Judy. Or put on your best threads and say you’re a fashion guru or interior designer. Libra is also the sign that most loves to shop, so dress up as a shopoholic with tons of boxes and bags and you’ll feel right at home.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Your sign is the private investigator of the zodiac, so you may want to dress up as Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew or Inspector Gadget. Scorpio also rules the underworld — so going all-out as your favorite Mafioso will do, whether it’s Tony Soprano or Al Capone. Scorpio is also perfect for so many dark, creepy Halloween costumes — the Grim Reaper, Darth Vader and the Devil will do. Or you could be a zombie prom queen, a skeleton or a corpse bride!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
The adventurer of the zodiac may want to dress up as Indiana Jones or Lara Croft. Sagittarians also love to make people laugh, so donning a clown costume or the silliest outfit you can find will be good for a few chuckles. The sign of the Archer is also perfectly suited to play a huntress from The Hunger Games, like Katniss Everdeen — just don’t forget your bow!
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
The businessman of the zodiac may want to put on a power suit and a funny hairpiece to look like Donald Trump. Strong women, such as Hillary Clinton or Joan of Ark, are also well-suited to your sign. Capricorn also excels at building, so a construction worker’s outfit — make sure you wear a helmet — will help you blast through any crowd. You could also be a superhero, as Capricorn is known for its nearly superhuman strength of character!
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Aquarius rules outer space, so what better way to celebrate Halloween than as an astronaut … or a space alien? Dress up as a scientist in a lab coat and taped glasses to channel this sign’s intellectual bent, or put on fake tattoos and piercings to show your inner rebel. Robots, like in Dr. Who or Star Wars — think R2D2 and C3P0 — are perfect for your quirky sign!
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Your sign’s ruling planet, Neptune, commands the sea. Dress up as a mermaid or King of the Sea (carry your trident, or three-pronged spear!). Artistic Pisces would also love to be a ballerina, painter or poet for Halloween. Or wear soft flowing fabrics to be the Muse. Pisces is also known as the most psychic sign of the zodiac, so a gypsy fortune teller Halloween costume would be perfect! Tarot.com is a Daily Insight Group Associate

There’s incredible support if you’re ready to take a leap in your relationship and show your mate a side that you have been too insecure to reveal in the past.

Give yourself a time out from the chaos of life and go within. As you do so, you’ll decompress enough to consider exactly what you need in terms of romantic sustenance. Does your lover have what it takes to bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan? Is that really a deal breaker for you if he or she doesn’t? What about sex? Physical presence?

Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22
The physical, more material aspects of your relationship will take center stage this week. You’re not interested in only having fun with your lover. You want more. You want to be certain that the person you’re with is someone you can build a life with — one with lasting security. Don’t be ashamed of feeling this way — it’s a reality of life to need to pay your bills and put food on the table. You can’t live off of love alone.

Enjoy a fall picnic at the beach or at your favorite park instead.
Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18
The Moon in your romance sector on Thursday and Friday will provide ample opportunity to show your sentimental side to your sweetie. He or she might not always see this part of you since you’re typically more of the “think before you feel” kind of sign. Still, this week you’ll have ample opportunity to reveal your softer side. Don’t overthink it — just allow the emotions to flow!
Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20
Communicating from the heart will be important this week — and fortunately will be easy for you to accomplish. Tell your partner how much you need to feel a spiritual connection to him or her. Although it’s likely that your mate already knows this, it’s possible that the two of you have been paying more attention to practical matters lately. This week you’ll have an opportunity to balance the physical with the mystical — successfully.

Tuesday, October 27: Full Moon Taurus
On Tuesday, a Full Moon in Taurus will leave you completely aware of exactly what you need to feel satiated. What do you crave in the deepest way that will allow you to feel completely secure in your life? This is what you have the potential to reach for now thanks to this Full Moon making a gorgeous link to Neptune, the planet of faith and inspiration. You might, for example, realize a financial dream. Or, it’s possible that you’ll see the fruits of your labor for something that you’ve built in recent weeks. This can be anything from a business to a home, but whatever it is — you would have put your all into it. Be proud!
Friday, October 30: Sun in Scorpio trine Neptune
On Friday, the Sun will be at a gorgeous trine to Neptune, adding to the spiritual power of this week. Your psychic antenna will be very sharp, so be sure to trust your gut with any decision that you need to make. You might also follow an imaginative pursuit that makes you extra happy. Dream on!
So it has been a powerful time and the power energies just keep coming. Usually this can be explained in relation to the activities of the Sun and Solar Flares. But, in this case, there has been very little actual correlation, and so it seems indeed that there must be another explanation. There is! The powerful waves that we are feeling now are Galactic and Cosmic in origin, and although they include Solar activity, there is so much more going on. I wanted to share with you my understanding of some of these powerful forces that are driving our Transformation and Ascension right now.
I have called this piece “Two Suns and the Taurus/Orion Super Moon” because these are the Primary Galactic forces at work right now. Firstly, you may remember in August I wrote a piece explaining how the heliacal rising of Sirius at dawn in the sign of Leo created a time when the Earth in fact had two suns, Solaris, as I call our Sun, and Sirius, the powerful Blue Star. This alignment of the two Star systems, Solaris and Sirius, continues in the Heavens as they journey through the Golden Rose Galaxy (Milky Way) and interact with Planet Earth, the newly emerging Blue Star Planet.
This alignment becomes more and more intense until it culminates around the 11th of November on the 11/11, which this year will be an 11/11/8.
In holographic terms, this means that Sirius and the Sun/Solaris create a Vesica Pisces, or a Star Gate, which allows powerful Cosmic and Galactic Energies to be transmitted to the Earth which is in a birthing/rebirthing process. In terms of Sacred Geometry and the Sacred Union energies, the two Star Systems merge their energy fields creating a Portal for the exchange of energies and the creation of something new.
The Ancients who were taught the wisdom of the Sirian Star Nations knew this, and they encoded this wisdom in a set of “Keys” which are, ironically, freely available today yet very little understood by those who have access to them. Yet, as we emerge into Higher Consciousness, we are reconnecting with the Ancient wisdom and beginning to understand the power of these keys in our Ascension process.
The Two Suns and the Taurus/Orion Super Moon
In this period of late October and leading into early November, we are still feeling the effects of the Lunar Eclipse and Equinox transitions, but we are moving at speed towards the 11/11/8. Many people are feeling a little flat as they integrate these powerful waves, but we are still heading into another and even more powerful. It is all focussed on that part of our Galactic “heaven” that contains Sirius and Orion.
So, in this week, October 21st and 22nd, we have just completed the Orionid meteor showers, which are the remnants of Halleys Comet paying a visit. It was spectacular and beautiful, but those of you who go back a bit may remember that Halley’s Comet played a big part in shifting consciousness and raising awareness back in the 1980s, just before Harmonic Convergence on August 16th and 17th in 1987, which was the Earth’s First Major Shift on the journey of Global Ascension. Halleys Comet always drops around when the Earth is ready for a big shift, and these meteorites that are showering down now are a Galactic reminder that we are in the Big Shift and that the original impetus of Harmonic Convergence is still moving us forward.
The Orionid Meteor Shower originates in the Constellation of Orion, near the star Betelgeuse. And, in this week two we will be experiencing the last of the Super Moon Full Moons, which will be in the Astrological house of Taurus, which is the closest neighbour of Orion. Another blast of Galactic power from the Orion/Sirius area of the Galaxy. This blast will be amplified by the magnetics of the Super Moon.
What is the importance of this? Well the Sun and Sirius are already in alignment creating a Star Portal. But, the Orion system is also a powerful Star Gate and Portal. It is well known that the three Pyramids of Giza are aligned with the three stars of Orions Belt. This reflects the Ancient Egyptian/Sirian Star Nation teaching that the Orion system was in fact a Cosmic Stargate that connected to other Galaxies in our local Universe.
So, are you starting to get a picture of the kind of powerful Cosmic energies that are lining up right now! Can you feel the openings in the Galactic Grids that are allowing us to connect with deep and powerful energies that we have not felt for a very long time as Humans. We needed to begin our Ascension at Harmonic Convergence in 1987 to reach this point where our Light Body and our Physical Body were crystalline enough to be able to receive these waves of Light and resonate or vibrate with them! This is a Wow moment, even if it feels maybe physically uncomfortable! Homo Luminosa receiving the Diamond Codes from the Great Central Sun or the Divine Cosmic Heart! The Orion Star Gate will be amplified at the Full Moon, as the Two Suns, Solaris and Sirius, continue their journey to the moment of Sacred Union when their Star Gate also opens and allows for incoming energies from the Great Central Sun.
So, as I understand it, the Orion gate allows us to access the Osiris Consciousness, which is the Ascension into Immortality and the ability to move between the veils. I am not suggesting that we all become immortal at the Full Moon, but rather that an understading of the possibilities and processes of Ascension will become more profound as we receive these Codes and Teachings from beyond our Solar System and connect with those who have guided our Transformation from beyond the stars. This is a powerful moment for the reception and transfer of energy and codes. “They” are waiting to hear from us too, as we celebrate through Activation and Ceremony. Our Star Nations and our Home Stars are waiting for our progress reports, even as we await the transmission of new Light Codes to assist our process.
Sacred Union at the 11/11/8: Sirius, Solaris and Earth
On the 11th of November, Solaris and Sirius will be in perfect alignment for the creation of the Vescica Pisces, also known as the “Eye of Horus”, which is Creation Portal.
In Sacred Geometry when the two come together, they create an energetic overlap in which creation processes are originated and it is a very powerful moment. When Solaris and Sirius create this energetic overlap, they birth new Light Codes for Planet Earth that assist in the “rebirthing” or “ascension” process.
Sacred Union is one of the Key processes of the Ascension energies, both in the Cosmic/ Galactic frame and also in our personal lives. It is a Template that assists us to fully know ourselves and to understand that what is “above” is also “below” down here on Earth where we are receiving these powerful energies in our Bodies and Light Bodies.
The 11/11 is traditionally a “portal” where deep understandings of Cosmic Truth are gifted to Humanity. The 11/11/8 includes the number 8 which is associated with the 8 pointed Star of the Twin Flame Sacred Union, which also tells us that what will be coming through this portal of the 11/11/8 will be teachings and understandings of the Cosmic and Galactic nature of Sacred Union, and of our Ascension and Transformation Processes.

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.
This is an extremely powerful energy that makes you very mentally “present” to the fact that both your values and your truth are shifting. You can connect to material abundance. This is usually a pleasant shift because it is about expanding your sense of authentic beauty, as in nature, and the interrelatedness of all living things. There is an energy of enthusiasm around new or growing relationships which attracts more positive energy. This is the best time to create and “expect miracles”!
This energy tends to make your mind work in over-drive. Not that you think too much, you will think and speak faster than usual, making others seem slow to you. However, when you are moving that fast, sometimes you can overlook something important. The negative expression of this energy tends to make you feel scattered and nervous, but the positive expression of it is understanding things faster, perceiving what is going on around you quicker, and connecting with your intuition on a level you normally cannot access. All the information that comes should be subject to a review in the near future because while it may be valid and useful, there will likely be some oversights due to the speed at which you connect with the information. You will be very impatient with normal routine. It is a good time to breathe and be flexible because ideas and information may come at you at a rapid speed. If you are impatient with this energy, you are more likely to make mistakes. Also, be aware of the need or tendency to be too blunt; sometimes we say things to shock people or just to get a reaction. If this is something you are prone to do, be prepared to back up all that you say eventually.
10/30 ~ Sun (authenticity) ~trine~ Neptune (intuition):
This energy triggers your idealistic side and provokes a desire to understand things on a deeper, more spiritual level. Try to use this energy to reflect on where you are and where you want to be, mentally, spiritually and physically. Take time to meditate and be still, quiet and alone. You may feel compelled to do things today that have no direct benefit for you; finding satisfaction in giving. Just be sure to ‘help those who help themselves’. Your intuition is heightened also, so pay attention to any ‘messages’ that come through to you.
The Moon today is in a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has it’s roots in the Latin word “gibbous” meaning humpbacked.

Digging Deeper into Divination for Samhain – Scrying/Crystal Gazing
Halloween, the most sacred of the eight witches’ Sabbats, has long been regarded as the ideal time for engaging in all manner of psychic work. It is a mysterious night when witches throughout the world clairvoyantly peer into the past, the present and the future.
The traditional Halloween divination method favored by those who belong to the Craft is that of scrying (or gazing) into crystal balls, magick mirrors, and the flames of candles, cauldron fires, or outdoor bonfires. The term “scrying,” derived from the Old English word “descry,” means “to perceive from a distance; to discover by the eye.” The divinatory use of crystals is said to date back to circa 1,000 b.c. Undeniably, it is one of the oldest forms of divination that continue to be practiced in modern times.
The proper method of scrying a crystal ball is as follows: Before consulting the crystal, allow yourself to enter into a meditative state. Focus your mind on a particular question or issue, and then gaze into the surface of the crystal ball. (You will most likely find that the best results are achieved when your scrying is performed in a darkened room with the bright light of a full moon, the gentle glow of a candle’s flame, or some other light source that reflects off the crystal’s surface.) In time, a vision should form. It may be an entire scenario or simply one or more symbols that will require interpretation on your part.
It is common for many crystal gazers to experience the formation of “clouds” within or around the crystal ball. The colors of the clouds and the directions in which they move are said to be highly significant. Traditionally, clouds that move to the right are considered to be a sign that a benign guiding spirit is present; clouds that move to the left indicate that the spirit is unwilling or unable to offer guidance at the present time. Clouds that move in an upward direction indicate an affirmative answer to the scryer’s question, while a negative reply is shown by clouds that move in a downward direction.
Color Meanings of Clouds
White clouds are believed to be favorable omens.
Black ones are viewed as being unlucky.
Red clouds, depending upon the scryer’s personal interpretation, can either indicate a fiery, passionate love affair or serve as a warning of impending danger.
Green clouds, a color associated with money, generally indicate an increase in riches, unless the clouds are seen moving in a downward (negative) direction.
Yellow clouds are said to indicate betrayal.
Blue clouds are signs of peace and tranquility.
Violet clouds indicate spiritual strength, psychic growth, and enlightenment.
Sometimes a crystal ball’s clouds regardless of their color—will gradually or suddenly yield to a clear vision of a future, present, or past event.
The art of crystal gazing (which is technically known as “crystallomancy”) is one that requires a good deal of concentration and practice, and a novice scryer should not become discouraged if he or she does not achieve immediate results. As with any art, some people require more time to master the crystal ball, while others seem to be born with a natural flair for it.
Many crystal gazers ritually “recharge” their crystal balls once every month by placing them either on an outdoor altar or on a windowsill where they can absorb the rays of the full moon. Most keep their crystal balls covered by a black silk handkerchief when not in use, and don’t allow anyone to handle the crystal ball, for they believe that this action disturbs or diminishes its occult vibrations, requiring it to be reconsecrated and recharged with the gazer’s own psychic energy.
In addition to gazing into crystal balls, many witches utilize the steady flame of a candle, a water-filled cauldron, or what are known as magick mirrors as a focus for their Halloween scrying rituals.

The Ludi Victoriae Sullanae were the games held on October 26 to honor the Goddess Victoria. This festival was established in 81 B.C. to celebrate Sulla’s victory over a large army of Sammites at the Porta Collina in Rome.
Victoria was the Goddess of victory, and her temple was on the Palatine Hill in Rome. She was the equivalent of the Greek Goddess Nike and was pictured with wings. Victoria was an important Goddess to the Romans, and she appears regularly on coinage from the late third century B.C. Victoria came to be regarded as the guardian of the empire, and her altar became a symbol of Paganism.
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
*Gathering bluebells, jasmine, gardenias, or white roses to create a little garden witchery with the flowers that are associated with the moon
*Setting up a lunar Tarot spell today to increase your psychic powers
*Eating a lunar fruit such as a melon to be healthy, serene, and at peace
*Brewing up a cup of chamomile or mint tea and enchanting it for sweet dreams and restful sleep
The sacred day of the Moon, personified by such goddesses as Selene, Luna, Diana, and Artemis. The Moon is ruler of flow affecting the changeable aspects of people. If a full moon falls on a Monday, its powers are at their most potent.
Monday is ruled by the moon – an ancient symbol of mystery and peace. Monday is a special day for mothers as the cycle of the moon has long been associated with the female menstrual cycle. Those wishing to conceive a baby would be wise to try on a Monday as the magic of motherhood is strong and pregnancy is in the air.
This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving agriculture, animals, female fertility, messages, reconciliation’s, theft, voyages, dreams, emotions, clairvoyance, home, family, medicine, cooking, personality, merchandising, psychic work, Faerie magic, and Goddess rituals.
The Wheel of Fortune represents that aspect of life that is directed by forces and events we may not understand or even be aware of. In short, The Wheel deals with chance—those occurrences that manage to alter even the most structured of lives, usurp man’s “best laid plans.” While the effects of The Wheel are unpredictable, the outcome is always change; sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Our path through life is never a ride down a perfectly straight highway. Sometimes we may even experience hairpin turns or complete reversals of direction. The Wheel of Fortune is strong reminder that despite our plans, the Universe has its own agenda from which we cannot escape participation.
The Magus is the physical embodiment of decisive action based upon knowledge and aimed squarely at specific goals. While firmly set in the material world, he none-the-less has a powerful spiritual connection as well. His knowledge, wisdom and skill are all encompassing. He is complete. His power as a creator is unmatched on our earthly plane. He is self-aware and unafraid to act. His enormous strength gives him the freedom to act as he chooses. However, responsibility comes with that freedom. Because he is not bound to the restraints of others he must choose how to act. The question that always lies before him is should he act morally, or forsake ethics for personal gain.
