2 January S. H. Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions

Current Moon Phase

THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 2020

Today the Moon will be in a Waxing Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the western sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

Humans have a strong affinity for the moon. It’s waxing and waning has formed the basis for calendars across continents and cultures. Almanacs charted full moons so farmers could work by its light. The full moon has been affiliated with harvests, festivals, wolves, and insanity. The very word “lunacy” stems from people’s ideas of mental stability and the moon’s phases. Full moons have captured imaginations across cultures and time, and many cultures have named the various full moons. 2020 is notable in that it will not have twelve full moons, but thirteen. The thirteenth full moon is called a blue moon. About every nineteen years, the opposite occurs, in that February will not have a full moon. This is referred to as a black moon. Each moon of the year has its own name and connotations depending on the season.

January’s full moon is often referred to as the Wolf Moon. It can also be called the Moon after Yule, in reference to the pagan holiday of Yule supplanted by Christmas. The early Catholic Church incorporated pagan holidays into their calendar to help conversion, which is why they coincide with holidays like Yule or solstice celebrations. February’s moon is usually called a Snow Moon since it tends to snow a lot in February. Some Native American tribes call it a Hunger Moon due to scarce food supplies.

March’s full moon is called the Worm Moon to signify the return of earthworms in the winter thaw as the season’s transition. Many names are attributed to March’s moon, such Crow Moon, Sap Moon for maple syrup season, and the old Anglo-Saxon term Lenten Moon. As the name implies, the Lenten Moon is the only full moon to occur during Lent. Continuing the Easter theme, an old Anglo-Saxon term for April’s full moon was Paschal Moon, in reference to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The more common name for April’s moon in modern times is Pink Moon, as pink phlox flowers bloom that month.

Whereas April’s moon is for one flower, May’s full moon is called the Flower Moon to signify the massive bloom following April’s rainfall. The less romantic but more practical Corn Planting Moon is another name. As mentioned earlier, farmers like full moons because they can work under its light if the sky is clear. June is called the Strawberry Moon as that month is the peak of the season. Mead Moon is another name, as fermenting started earlier in the year to produce a proper drink. Continuing the new season’s growth, July is often called Buck Moon because male deer’s antlers start growing around this time. Since July often has many thunderstorms, Thunder Moon is another term for July’s full moon.

August, the last full month of summer, has many names related to food and bounty. The Algonquin tribes called it Sturgeon Moon as the lakes filled with fish. The Anglo-Saxons called it the Grain Moon, and some called it the Barley Moon or Green Corn Moon. The importance of the harvest and it’s relation to the moons grows stronger in the autumn. September’s moon is called the Corn Moon, though the Farmer’s Almanac used to refer to it as the Harvest Moon based on the Anglo-Saxon term.

In modern times, the Harvest Moon is in October, and in fact this happens every three years because the Harvest Moon is based on the equinox, not the calendar. Hunter’s Moon is the term for October’s full moon otherwise, since it’s prime hunting season and the time when northern peoples would stock up on meat for the winter. In 2020, the Blue Moon will occur on Halloween, making it even more extraordinary for moon fans.

To end the year, November is often called the Beaver Moon as beavers tend to be the most active in that month. It can also be called the Frost Moon since frost starts to form at night. If November’s full moon is the last before the winter solstice, it is called the Mourning Moon. Winter is often considered a season of death due to the migration of wildlife and trees bereft of leaves. December is aptly called the Cold Moon since winter starts in that month. The Anglo-Saxons once called the full moon the Moon before Yule, in reference to the holiday occurring around the winter solstice as mentioned before. It can also be called the Oak Moon, though this term can also apply to November. Either way, the history of the full moon’s names is long and spans many cultures and traditions.

From the lady who we get our weekly horoscopes from Georgia Nicols

Please know that a portion of the money I receive from the sale of the forecasts goes to a Tibetan School in Nepal – the poorest country in Asia.

2020: The Energy Forecast (1-Hour Live Broadcast From Lee Harris)

Release 2019 and Open Your Heart to 2020! Healing Ritual by Kari Samuels

It’s a beautiful day here in the Northeast with a pale-yellow sun high in the sky and the temperature at a balmy 42 degrees. I’ve just returned from a long walk around the lake, where I spent time contemplating the end of a decade and the start of the New Year.

I like the sound of 2020, don’t you?  It feels like a different kind of fresh, new beginning…

For the last few days I’ve made a point of relishing the darkness of the winter solstice. I’ve slept in, worked out later in the day, and enjoyed nine hours of solid sleep without waking up – a rare, delicious treat these days.

I’ve also been considering the same question I use at the beginning of every new year – one I’ve shared with you before.

Remember this…

Information About January 1, 2020 Some Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Posts

Welcome to 2020!!! WOTC sure had its ups and downs through 2019, With Lady Abyss retiring from here and then not even a month later she goes to the Summerlands. The website passing into my hands to carry on a mission the Goddess gave to Lady Abyss of educating society on what witchcraft, pagans, and withes real are. As well as sharing many things with new and established witches they may not have know about other wise, Her guidance and mentoring to many of us is not something we will get over quickly, or at least I won’t.

I again want to thank all of the donors, those that prayed to the Goddess and lit candles or whatever to save Lady A’s legacy that I have found my shoulders need to be wider to bear the extra weight of running WOTC without Lady A to call for advice.

2020 is going start off slow with the yearly information posts because I need to figure out what websites she used for them. Unfortunately I cannot post any horoscopes until the year changes in the northern and western hemispheres So all posts will be at least 1 day late for the southern hemisphere and parts of the eastern hemisphere. I will do my best on January 1st to get everything up but my youngest grandchild is coming to visit me tomorrow and as I tell Coven Life’s students family always comes first. I hoping to be able to some of them tonight after it is midnight where I live. Not sure what time zones different websites are in or if they schedule posts like we do sometimes.

I ask that you let us know what you kind of posts you want to see on WOTC in the comments section, all comments do get read even if I do not have time to reply, so we can start trying to information on the topic and get posts up about it. There will be more divination posts in 2020 but they will be done differently than you were use to see from Lady Abyss and her awesome team.

I am here to listen to you and help you if I can but I feel it is time for a reminder that we DO NOT DO SPELLS AND/OR RITUALS OF ANY KIND FOR ANYONE NO MATTER WHAT THE SPELL OR RITUAL MAY BE FOR. WE DO NOT SUPPLY ANY SPELLS AND/OR RITUALS PRIVATELY.  You are welcome to use any spells and/or rituals and/or information that is on our website. Please remember if you are going to use something from our website on your website to give us credit and do a link back to us. This is what we do when sharing from other websites.

HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!

Wishing You All a Joy Filled and Blessed 2020

To all of our Sisters, Brothers, Guests no matter which hemisphere you live in. From Lady Beltane and Elders of Witches of The Craft, Coven Life, and Heart’s Spirit Online we wish you and your family a happy, healthy, loving, and bountiful New Year.

Weekly Horoscope December 29, 2019 to January 4, 2020

All Signs

Tuesday is New Year’s Eve, which is a tricky night because people have such high expectations. “I must look fantastic and have fun!” This year the Moon is in Pisces lined up with Neptune, which means there will be much weeping and crying. People will be sensitive, empathetic, and they’ll drink too much or overdo drugs. People will pick up on the moods of others or they might drift off into their own private world. It will be hard to express what you want to say. There will self-delusion! You get the picture. “Beam me up, Scotty.” Forewarned is forearmed. Happy New Year!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This year you make a fabulous impression on others because not only is it your time of harvest, but lucky Jupiter will be at the top of your chart, which gives your reputation a double boost! I kid you not. This is definitely your turn to put your name up in lights! By that, I’m referring to a time window of over a decade. Expect promotions, awards and the adulation of your peers. In addition, for the last six months of 2020, your ruler Mars will be in your sign boosting your energy making you super focused, supercharged and super persevering! Yes, you’re looking at a recipe for success! (Mom always liked you best.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Two areas in your life will get a huge boost in 2020. The first is anything to do with travel and dealing with foreign countries. Oh yes, you will have the best opportunities to travel in 2020 that you have had in over a decade! To say that you are going places is putting it mildly. However, some of you will use this influence in a different way because basically, this influence is all about expanding your experience of your world. Another way to do this is to get further learning and training. You might go back to school. You might sign up for courses. You might learn a new language. But you will expand your horizons! This is a given.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The year 2020 will be a better year for you financially speaking because you will get richer through the wealth and resources of others. You might inherit money or assets. Your partner might earn more, which indirectly benefits you. You might get money back from the government. You might be released from a debt. Whatever the case, you will feel richer in 2020 because of an external influence. You will also feel more passionate in your personal relationships. Oh yeah. In the last six months of the year, expect to be super active with friends and groups, probably in a competitive way. You might be in a club that is vying for a championship? (You love an adoring peanut gallery.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Things have been challenging for your closest relationships in the last year. You know it and I know it. The good news is this year there will be a softening of this tension because lucky Jupiter will join Saturn in your House of Partnerships. The squeeze play will still be there, but now there will be something more joyful and more expansive as well. Relations with partners will be more upbeat and fun! In fact, 2020 is the best year for your sign to get married in over a decade! Furthermore, after July 1, your ambition will be aroused as never before. Oh yeah, you’ll be PowerPoint on steroids! You will get what you want.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The good news for you in the year ahead is twofold: You will have a fantastic chance to improve your health. Perfect! “I want to be the best that I can be!” And secondly, you can improve your job or get a better job. Trust me. If you want to stay in your job, make an effort to get better duties or a better working station or be patient because your evil boss will be transferred to Timbuktu. However, if you want a new job, you couldn’t pick a better year to do this! This is your best chance in over a decade to create the kind of job that is rewarding and decent paying. Yes, it’s the kind of job you really want! Hope for the best!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are one of the luckier signs this year because 2020 is going to be all about parties, fun vacations, socializing and schmoozing with others, plus enjoying the arts and the entertainment world. Parents will find their relations with kids will be more rewarding. In fact, your kids will be a source of joy! You can look forward to one of the happiest years you’ve had in a long time. Admittedly, nothing is perfect. Disputes about inheritances, shared property or something that you own jointly with someone else will arise. But you can handle this. Your sex drive will also be pumped for the last six months of the year! (Would I kid you?)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have much to look forward to this year because more than any other sign, you are affected by your surroundings. Colours, lighting, smells – all these things affect your mood and your sense of happiness. The good news is that in the year ahead, you will create a more beautiful home for yourself! You will improve your home through renovations or redecorating. Or you might move to something bigger and better? Or perhaps to something smaller and better? Not only that, family relations will improve as well. Nevertheless, you will have to be patient with partners in the last six months of the year. (Nothing is perfect.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will be happier in 2020. It’s that simple. Your mind will be more positive and you will think like a winner. You will make better choices. You will expect more for yourself. You will be busier with short trips and schmoozing with daily contacts but it will be fun busy! Because our minds create our world – if you are happier – your world is happier. Capisce? It will be a powerful year for those who write, edit, sell, market, teach and act because your words will be winning! In addition, you will bust your buns at work in the last six months of the year just because you can. You wanted more?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

More than most signs, you look for get-rich-quick schemes. It’s in your nature. You’re an optimist and you like to think that something better is around the corner. And it generally is! (That’s because our mind creates our world.) The good news for you, dear Sagittarius, is that you are going to get richer in 2020. You will either earn more money or somehow receive money or inherit money. Whatever the source – the money will come! Naturally, you will party more and entertain the idea of an amazing vacation. (Who is surprised? You adore travel.) It’s a strong year as well for those of you in sports, especially competitive sports.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Ta da! Jupiter is in one sign every year. This means it takes 12 years to go through all the signs. In the year 2020, lucky Jupiter will be in your sign! This means all kinds of good things for you. But in a nutshell, it means it will be a fortunate year for you in personal terms. Your confidence will increase, yourself poise will increase. You will be happier – no question. You will dare to dream big, which is a bit unusual for you because you are careful and cautious. You will schmooze with people from all over the world. (Literally.) However, in the last six months of the year, your home scene will be chaotic and super busy. Fortunately, your positive, confident, happy state of mind will cope. Ya think?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In the year 2020, you have a strong feeling of having survived something. To be precise – the dark night of the soul. Some of these difficulties might linger into the beginning of the year but ultimately these challenges will be fading, fading, fading away. This is why you will feel internally grateful and quietly happier. It’s like you stopped banging your head against the wall. Many of you will explore inner disciplines related to yoga, meditation and the study of the mind. Your appreciation for life will increase, which means you will also appreciate the loved ones in your life. This is setting the stage for the fact that by the end of the year, lucky Jupiter will enter your sign for the first time in 12 years, ushering in a fantastic year in 2021!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are going to be so popular in the year ahead, it’s almost laughable. But to be truthful, it is not really laughable because although popularity is considered to be a wonderful thing, it’s not good to “lose yourself” to the demands of others. Therefore, your challenge will be to work smoothly with everyone else, and fill their needs and demands, and yet, at the same time, maintain your own independence and integrity. You can do this. Meanwhile, for the last six months of 2020, you will bust your buns to boost your income, which is a good thing because you will be spending money in a big way!

Continuation of the story ….

I met my gf when she facebooked me and asked about the rumors of me being trans.  As we talked more and more she said she wouldnt mind dating a trans person if i was interested so we got to know one another and she invited me to Indy Pagan Day where her coven was putting on a ritual.  It sounded like a good time and I was exploring alternate religions so I went out and attended the event and also attended her ritual.  I enjoyed the pomp and circumstance of the ritual  coming from a Catholic background and it increased my interest in pagan holidays and esbats.  We talked later and I let her know I would be willing to attend another ritual as they did most of their rituals publicly if her.

The next open ritual that they had was Samain and I was hooked, we attended the ritual I enjoyed myself as far as the learning process went and enjoyed the other people in the group.  After this ritual though things started going south for me and the gf and we broke up right before Yule and because of this I only attended one ritual with her coven.  At the time I was hoping to continue the process with her coven but as the timed passed I saw that this was not going to be possible bc of the drama.

This caused me to explore other options for my spirituality and I found an on line coven to belong to for my education and a guild in a different city for my socialization.  I still do almost nothing witchy in Indy bc I do not want to run the chance of running into my ex gf.

I have written bf on the differences between a guild and a coven and would be more than willing to answer questions in either area.  I will also take question on my trans journey.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day, sun has come out here, and it is fairly warm for the end of december

A newbie witch explaining her path

Well everyone its Dawn of the day again, Last time we spoke we talked about the difference between a guild and a coven as I have belonged to both.  Today I thought I would take a different look and talk about some of my first steps on the path.

One of the reasons I was drawn to the pagan path in my early exploration was that I was not happy with the mainline religions and the discrimination they showed to the LGBT community.  I tried to live my life correctly by Christian standards for 45 years belonging to their religions, worshiping as they wanted, and even buying in that being trans was not wrong as long as I did not dress in the clothes that I found were most comfortable.

When i reached about 45 i started my “mid life crisis” where I wanted to start dressing more in the clothes that I found proper and was in such a place that I was willing to give up family, friends, social organizations, religion and even my job as a high school teacher.  The other choice for this though was death, I had already picked out the where and how I just had to decide the when.

About this time two things happened just about in unison, one was that I decided to go see a therapist to determine exactly what i was, within two appointments I was diagnosed as trans and told I could start hormone replacement as soon as i wanted.  The second was that I meet a witch and lover and with her help we started exploring the pagan/wiccan path.

Even though the relationship ended badly and I do not care to ever see her again she did show me a religion that was accepting of everyone and one that I did not have to pretend to be someone else for.  Through her guidance she put me on the first steps of my wiccan path which has increased my knowledge of the gods and and how to better work with the goddess as I move down my path of life.
