Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for December 5th, 2024 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 4 days old and 17.38% illuminated with a tilt of 118.227°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 382,743.13 km and the moon sign is Aquarius.

The Moon phase for December 5th, 2024 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

Well, I am late getting to my computer today because of a doctor appointment complete with lab work than we had errands to do before the wind got more ridiculous. I am grateful to not live in the upper east coast of the USA a bad storm hit last week and they’re getting another one today through Saturday. Typing and using the mouse is kind of slow today thanks to the cold and arthritis/fibromyalgia. I am not doing the informational/fun posts until tomorrow.

Please join me in sending positive energy and protection to those living in that area of the country.

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

Blessed be.

Some Humor for Your Day

I apologize for not posting everything I usually do daily. I was a rough night of pain and trying to sleep so, I did the best I could this morning.

May the rest of your day be filled with relaxation, love, and all positive things!

Until we meet again blessed be.

If you want to see some information on any tradition of witchcraft or herbs or flowers or anything pertaining to witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. I will try to find some information to post about it. If you want a friend to talk to please email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. We can do it by email or audio or video Skype. I am an ordained minster the reason this might be important to you is I cannot discuss anything we talk about with anyone else (even Big Dawg, my husband)

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Today you’re focused on your professional (and possibly public) goals. They seem doable, which is encouraging. In fact, where you might have felt uncertain about your work or dealing with your public reputation, now you feel reassured and calm. Disciplined effort will pay off. Talk to your boss.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

**** This is an excellent day to make thoughtful decisions about long-term projects, especially related to writing, publishing or higher education. You might also make travel plans. Discussions about medicine, the law, higher education and publishing will be solid and productive.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** Spend some time today on wrapping up loose details related to inheritances, insurance matters, taxes, debt, mortgages, loans and shared property. You might want to draw up a budget or discuss how to share expenses or deal with how to share chores.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** This is an excellent day to sit down with a partner, spouse or close friend and have a serious discussion about issues that are important to you. You might want to talk about the division of labour or shared expenses? Someone older or more experienced might have good advice for you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

*** This can be a productive day for you primarily because you are ready to work in a practical, regulated fashion. You have the right attitude; plus you will be patient and mature in your approach to things. You’re willing to play the long game – which is work today for results tomorrow.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** This is a great day to tackle creative projects or to work with kids or to make some serious strides in the entertainment world or the hospitality industry. You’re ready to work! You have practical ideas! Furthermore, you’re willing to practice or hone your technique. Good stuff!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** This is a good day to have serious, practical discussions with partners, spouses and close friends. For example, you might want to discuss the division of labour or how to share expenses. Quite possibly, someone older or more experienced will weigh in on this discussion with solid advice.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

**** Whatever you do today, especially at work, you will do carefully with thought and attention to detail. This applies to work at your job as well as to work related to children, sports events and anything related to the arts. In fact, this is an excellent time to finish old projects.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** When it comes to financial matters today, you will be frugal. You don’t want to blow your money. Au contraire, you want to save your money or if you spend it, you will buy something practical and long-lasting. You might think about a budget for home expenses.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

**** Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with stern Saturn, which means you will receive benefits by being dutiful and accepting responsibility today. You will make gains by keeping things practical and orderly. (More than most, you’ll find this easy to do.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** This is the kind of day when research will pay off. If you seek answers to questions or solutions to old problems, start digging deep because you might find what you’re looking for. Sometimes situations like this depend on timing; and timing is everything.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** A discussion with someone older or more experienced might benefit you today. This person might have ideas or advice that causes you to change your goals in the future to something that is more viable and realistic. Never dismiss wise advice. (Although we all know that Cole’s Law is just thinly sliced cabbage.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Anna Chlumsky (1980) shares your birthday today. You are intelligent and adventurous. You are also loyal, hard-working and reliable. This year will bring about increased freedom and exciting changes. Stay flexible and be ready to act quickly on new opportunities. Expect to travel. Meet new friends and trust your intuition.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Tuesday you will feel as if something wrong is about to happen and this might paralyze you a bit from your usual train of thought or activities.

But to your disappointment and the anguish of those around you who don’t know you as well as to understand that you have no idea what you are talking about, the bad thing threat will linger the whole day, with no practical avail.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is going to be a planning day, whether it is happening at work and concerns what you are doing the following week or if it’s happening at home with your partner in regards to the weekend.

But be warned, the fact that you get the chance to talk about it doesn’t necessarily mean that the things you want to happen are going to happen so don’t get your hopes too high.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are going to be quite confrontational this Tuesday although you yourself won’t really have an explanation to why you are behaving the way you do.

There is something troubling you deep, deep inside but doesn’t really have anything to do with those around so maybe you shouldn’t take it all on them, especially if we are talking about family members.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are aiming for a change emotionally but you don’t like the prospects of being on your own just as much as you don’t like how you’re life is at the moment.

You are patient to some extent but there are many things you can’t wait for them to happen anymore. You might be perceived as way too generous by some people around you and this might leave you with a gap in the pocket as well.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are in a very good shape and you will notice; this of course if you actually wake up early in the morning; that the morning is going to be the most productive period of the day for you this Tuesday.

On the other hand, it won’t be like you are slacking off the rest of it as you seem to have quite a few activities lined up to keep you busy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a good day for hobbies or activities you like doing in order to de-tense yourself. But don’t get me wrong, this is not because you are way too tense but it’s more like a recommended preventive measure.

You are quite energetic actually but with not many prospects of activities you might actually be into and I though you need to prepare yourself.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You need to be more patient or at least observe that those around you who have been patient enough have received certain advantages that they wanted or that they worked for.

Although everything is moving very fast nowadays, be sure that to some extent, some things are still classical and fate does reward those who wait.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The stars are rooting for your financial situation but it is still up to how much you want to work to see any real results.

Meanwhile, there is no real pressure on you and you just need to get on and about with your usual schedule. On the other hand, there might be some temptations showing up out of nowhere, which will make you question your motivations.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This Tuesday you are going to be the best seller on your street and this means your convincing powers are increased. Although it might sound quirky, you can actually put this to good practice no matter what your plans are and what you want to do.

And don’t think into the present only because this might actually help you with something you are not planning on doing for a while.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Although helping others and being generous makes you feel good about yourself, it seems that there are flaws you want to cover with this and it won’t take long for others to figure it out.

Especially if you are also trying to make amends for something you did wrong in the past. What I would suggest is to mind your own business for a while and leave people some space.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Many of the outcomes of today’s actions are strongly connected to the maturity you are approaching them with and your calm rather than all the efforts you put in.

So the more confident but realistic you are, the higher the chances are that you will actually be taken seriously. Someone might actually approach you to help you further in one of your endeavors.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

While some might tell you to dream big, at the moment I would tell you to keep your feet stuck on the ground but to let your imagination fly away.

A bit of separation between the two will do you good and will help you balance things when you reunite them back. You need to be aware of the boundaries and stops in your life but also find ways to overcome them.
