Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, May 29th

 

Aries 

You may be taking special interest in a project, idea, or topic today, dear Aries, particularly one that you may have toyed with or begun in the past but for whatever reason left unfinished. It’s a powerful time for researching, learning, sharing, or teaching, and networking can be especially fruitful, stimulating ideas or reinvigorating your motivation levels. This is also a strong time for connecting with a partner. You tend to love pioneering your way through life, and frequently do things independently, but today, the benefits of a friend, partner, or support system becomes obvious.

Taurus

After a rather hazy and possibly lazy early day, dear Taurus, your motivation and dedication builds. It can be a powerful time for discovering information you may have missed in the past, particularly related to finances, and for some, you might find a lost object or discover a resource that you never knew you had. You are especially resourceful now. You might be in an advantageous position at work or otherwise be “in the know”. The key today is to look at things in a new way, and to concentrate on those things that truly matter to you.

Gemini

Your mind is super sharp today and tomorrow, dear Gemini, and these days are powerful for generating significant ideas, strategies, and goals. You’re seeing things that you completely overlooked before, or that were hidden from you. You’re also seeing those things that are less than obvious, and you can find a lot of benefit in learning these things. Some of you could find a lost object. You might thoroughly enjoy investigation and research today, and resolving a conflict or solving a mystery can be especially satisfying now.

Cancer

You have been especially imaginative in recent days, dear Cancer, but today, you’re especially able to channel this creative energy into something productive. You are particularly insightful about matters of the past, things that are hidden from sight, and areas of your own psyche that may have been holding you back from enjoying yourself. Seeing an old problem in a new way can be liberating on some level today. Others may be supportive or allow you the space to come to your important conclusions.

Leo

This can be a day in which others seek your guidance, advice, or support, dear Leo, and you’re especially happy sharing your ideas and generous with your time. There can be wonderful inspiration or more practical help for your work through friends or networks right now, and a conversation or bit of news can inspire you to reinvigorate an old project that has strong potential for following through as well as for success. Pay special attention to information coming in and to your instincts.

Virgo

This can be an especially fertile time for work, business, and other practical ideas, dear Virgo, and also strong for research into techniques for managing your health and wellness. Mercury’s retrograde is enabling a new perspective on old problems, projects, and approaches, particularly related to work and long-term goals. Today and tomorrow, you’re especially creative, imaginative, and eager to discover unique ways to manage your life better. You could be giving someone a needed pep talk or offering practical support. This is a strong day for insights and discoveries that truly help and empower you.

Libra

The Moon continues to transit your sign all day, dear Libra, and you’re attracting some nice attention your way. You’re also inclined to take things a little more personally right now. Today, people are especially interested in your conversation, ideas, and opinions, and you may be leading the way in some manner amongst friends and associates. This can be a good day for looking at past ideas and projects in a new way. You are more resourceful than usual, and could easily gather inspiration from people in your life.

Scorpio

Today and tomorrow are particularly strong days for mental insights, dear Scorpio, and these mostly revolve around your personal life, intimate relationship with yourself, awareness of your fears, addictions, and attachments, and dependencies on others. Your vision of these things can suddenly improve, and ideas and strategies for better managing your life and dealing with problem areas can come to you in a wonderful flash now. There can be a renewed feeling of affection with a family member today, and the sharing of helpful ideas and support.

Sagittarius 

This is a strong day for coming together with others, dear Sagittarius, and making agreements. There is a feeling of being on the same page with a significant someone, and wonderful new insights into finances and home life. Through a conversation, you might come to new conclusions about old, nagging problems, and arrive at good, solid strategies for better dealing with your life. It’s a strong time for getting to the very core of a problem, and for seeing things you missed in the past, but that are vital to seeing the complete picture.

Capricorn

While the day can get off to a hazy start, as it advances, you can be feeling especially motivated and energized mentally, dear Capricorn. You are ready to take on almost anything now, and ideas for work or health are especially fertile now. You might solve a mystery or find the final piece of an old puzzle or problem. There can be a lot of satisfaction in offering your practical support, largely through information or your skills. Strategies for increasing your income may come to you now.

Aquarius

Today and tomorrow are strong for coming to a new perspective about a matter revolving around the fifth house, dear Aquarius, which can be about a child, a creative project, a romance, or a hobby. Your mind is especially fertile, and you’re in a good position to help others, particularly younger people, with your advice or information, or in a mentor capacity. You may be nurturing others through your words now. Your thinking is also strong for seeing resources that you’ve overlooked in the past. Drawing upon your natural talents comes easily and is appreciated by others today.

Pisces

This can be a strong time for rethinking home and family affairs, dear Pisces, and coming to new strategies to improve things. It’s also a good time for sharing personal thoughts and memories with people you trust. You may be working especially well with a group or team, or with a fiend, towards a common goal or cause. You could renew an interest in an old project or return to something you’ve left unfinished. There is generally good judgment with you today, particularly when it comes to opportunities. You may very well find new meaning and purpose in something you’re doing now. There is a good sense of when to take the lead and when to let others do so.

 

An Overview of Your Weekend Love Horoscope for May 29 – 31

 

Weekend Love Horoscope

May 29-31: Mostly Cloudy

Maria DeSimoneMaria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

It doesn’t really matter what the Moon is doing this weekend because the planet Neptune will overwhelm each of us with his nebulous fog. On Friday, the Moon will be in relationship-oriented Libra, but she won’t exactly be at peace. Adding to the mix will be a square between communication planet Mercury to Neptune. Mercury is also retrograde. Ouch! Conversations in love will not only be misleading, but you might feel like you keep repeating your words to deaf ears.

Then, on Saturday the Moon enters Scorpio, but is overshadowed by a square between the Sun and Neptune which is exact on Sunday morning. You might feel extra intensity in the emotional department, but you’ll also feel confused — as if you can’t trust what you feel. Second guessing yourself in matters of the heart will be par for the course this weekend. Be gentle with yourself and remember; the Sun is always behind the clouds.

This Weekend’s Romantic Rating*

Heart ratings are based on the lunar cycle. They range from low to full, with low indicating a rocky weekend for romance and full indicating plenty of passionate potential.

Astrology of Today – May 29, 2015

 

 

Astrology of Today – May 29, 2015


Summary:

There can be some very necessary indecision today, particularly early on with Mercury and Neptune forming a square. Early on the 31st, the Sun will form a square to Neptune as well, and Venus will form a sesquiquadrate to Neptune. These aspects can be temporarily disorienting if we’ve been overlooking our spiritual, creative, and imaginative needs, as we can feel some discontent and uncertainty. This slowdown is confusing at first, but necessary as it gives us a chance to discover what we may have been missing. It’s a difficult time to get clarity, and if we push too hard in this respect, it can be a discouraging time. However, we might consider that solid, definite answers are not necessary for us at the moment. Letting go of the need to control, itemize, and rationalize just a little can help us tremendously at this time.

Later today, influences that stir creativity and resourcefulness involve Mercury biquintile Pluto and both bodies quintile Vesta, as well as a trine between Mercury and Ceres. There can be dedication to, or renewed interest in, a project or topic. Research can be effective.

The Moon is in Libra all day (until Saturday, May 30th, at 5:33 AM).
The Moon is void from 4:20 PM forward (until 5:33 AM tomorrow).
The Moon is waxing and in its First Quarter phase until 4:06 PM / in its Waxing Gibbous phase from 4:06 PM forward).

The Witches Magick for the 29th Day of the Hare Moon – Faery Sprite Wish Spell

Egyptian Comments & GraphicsFaery Sprite Wish Spell

 

Sprites are shy, reclusive and exquisite. These winged faeries live in meadow and woodland glens. There are many types of sprites, depending upon their element. They like nuts, acorns, and sweet treats, and love to be flattered by mortals. Water Sprites are the marine counterparts of Leprechauns, who often horde gold and riches and reward the clever and true.

You will need jasmine-scented oil, nine nuts such as almonds or pecans, a white sock, and a piece of candy.

About an hour before you go to sleep, anoint yourself with the scented oil.

Anoint each of the nine nuts with a drop of jasmine-scented oil. As you anoint each nut, repeat:

Helpful faery Sprites of earth, air, water, and light,
I ask that you please grant me my wish tonight.

Put the nuts into the sock, and hold the sock in between your hands. Merge with the faery spirits, and repeat your wish three times. Eat the piece of candy. Before eating it, say:

Helpful faery Sprites of earth, air, water, and light,
I ask that you please grant me my wish tonight.

Put the nuts into the sock, and hold the sock in between your hands. Merge with the faery spirits, and repeat your wish three times. Eat the piece of candy. Before eating it, say:

Sweet faery Sprite dreams.
May my wish come true.

Put the sock in your pillowcase and as you drift to sleep, repeat your wish over and over again. Anoint the sock with a few drops of oil now and again, and keep it in your dresser or desk drawer until your wish comes true. Afterward, return the nuts to the earth as an offering to the Sprites. As you do, say:

These nuts are an offering to the helpful faery Sprites.
Thank you for your help. Blessed be!

WOTC Extra – Waxing Moon Spell For Confidence

Egyptian Comments & GraphicsWaxing Moon Spell For Confidence

We all need a bit of a confidence boost every so often so give this little spell a try.

What you need:
A malachite crystal
A white candle
A green candle

If you would like to, you can dress your altar with white flowers and add some sprigs of green parsley. Set the green and white candle on your altar and sit in front of them, light them both.

Take the malachite crystal in your hand and ask out loud for help from the Divine for courage, confidence and communication skills. Visualise yourself as being full of confidence. Touch the crystal to your mouth for the blessings of communication, to your ears for the power of listening and understanding, and then to your throat for the blessings of confidence.

Focus your thoughts on the candle flames until they burn out, keeping hold of the crystal as you do so. You can then carry the crystal with you in a pocket, purse or bag.

Let’s Talk Witch – Getting Those Herbs Gardens Ready, How About Planting By The Moon

Egyptian Comments & GraphicsGetting Those Herbs Gardens Ready, How About Planting By The Moon

A lot of gardeners, even those who aren’t witches, plant and harvest by the phases of the Moon. You can still find old almanacs that list what to plant and when in line with astrological timings. Think how much the Moon affects the sea and her tides, so it must affect the earth and how things grow too.

A Waxing Moon is good for planting. Fruit ready for eating straight away should be picked on a Waxing Moon; a Waning Moon is good for planting plants that fruit below ground such as potatoes. A Waning Moon is also good for pruning, weeding and harvesting food to be stored.

Just after a New Moon plant leafy vegetables and herb seeds.

Waxing Moon gardening activities include potting cuttings, re-pottting house plants and picking herbs, fruit and vegetables for eating straight away.

On a Full Moon plant vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers and onions (any type of ‘watery’ vegetables and fruit). Fertilise your plants on a Full Moon too.
Just after Full Moon plant tuber vegetables such as carrots and potatoes, also biennials and perennials.

On a waning Moon start a compost heap, weed, cut and prune, pick fruits and flowers, herbs and vegetables that will be stored.

Close to the Dark Moon cut timber and spray any fruit trees (preferably with eco friendly spray).

Then you have the categories for the astrological signs; a list of each type of energy is show below, either barren, productive, semi-fruitful or fruitful:

Moon in Aries: Barren
Moon in Taurus: Productive
Moon in Gemini: Barren
Moon in Cancer: Fruitful
Moon in Leo: Barren
Moon in Virgo: Barren
Moon in Libra: Semi fruitful
Moon in Scorpio: Fruitful
Moon in Sagittarius: Barren
Moon in Capricorn: Productive
Moon in Aquarius: Barren
Moon in Pisces: Fruitful

Another useful guide is:

Above Soil-Level Plants: These are the plants that will produce crops above the ground; these should be sown the day after the New Moon up until the first quarter, preferably in a fertile or semi-fertile astrological sign.

Annuals: Plant the day after the New Moon up until the day before the first quarter, preferably in a fertile or semi-fertile astrological sign.

Below Soil-Level Plants: These are the plants that crop under the ground. These should be planted during the day after the Full Moon, preferably in a fertile or semi-fertile astrological sign.

Biennials and Perennials: This category includes shrubs and trees. Begin planting the day after the Full Moon and up to the day before the last quarter preferably in a fertile or semi-fertile astrological sign.

Seed Collection: This is best done at the Full Moon when the Moon is in a fire or air astrological sign such as Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Libra, Gemini or Aquarius.

Harvesting: Picking fresh flowers and smaller harvests for magical use straight away, can be done in the early evening. If you want to dry and store the flowers and herbs, cut them mid morning, after the dew has evaporated. Fruit and vegetables are best harvested during the Waning Moon and when the Moon is in a barren or semi-barren fire or air sign such as Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Libra, Gemini or Aquarius.

Celebrating Other Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Oak Apple Day

Egyptian Comments & Graphics29 May

Oak Apple Day

This popular British festival is held annually on May 29 and commemorates the return of King Charles II from exile. It was on this day in 1660 that Charles made his triumphant return to London, thus ending the English Republic and Cromwell’s puritanical horrors. Celebrations include the ringing ing of bells, church services, bonfires, and the tossing of eggs at anyone not wearing an oak leaf.
From the very beginning, the essential elements of this festival have rested with the boughs of oak leaves-a representation sentation of the oak in which Charles had hidden from Parliamentary troops after his defeat at Worcester (in 1651). However, it is also possible that much of the tradition that is still held comes from a far older time, when worship of the oak was perpetuated by various Pagan cults.

 

Friday & The Perfect Corresponding Spell

Egyptian Comments & Graphics

Friday & The Perfect Corresponding Spell

For many, Friday is the last work day of the week. It’s considered the fifth day of the work week and, also, the “cut loose” day. By Friday night, people are out having a party. That makes Friday the perfect day for lust, banish, fast-grant, and find spells . This day is so powerful (energy wise). That’s why whatever you do on this day will, usually, have a strong effect. If you want things out of your life, the darkness and power, associated with this day, bring the energy you need for that. If you need strong, immediate results, this is your day, as well.

A Tarot Spell for Pregnancy and Childbirth

Frigga is the Norse goddess that is associated with childbirth, motherhood, and the home. She is a powerhouse of maternal energies and gentle wisdom, which makes her the perfect goddess to call on for this type of spell. Gather the following supplies:
1 green or white candle with matching holder or a plain seven-day candle
The Empress and the Two of Cups tarot cards
Grains (dried barley or stalks of wheat, or a bit of whole wheat flour)
A cauldron, cup, or small bowl to hold the grains
An item of sympathy for the baby, like a baby bootie or an ultrasound photo
12 inches pink and baby blue satin ribbon to tie around the candle holder
An item of sympathy for the mother, such as a small lock of her hair or a photo of her or the two of you taken while she’s pregnant
Fresh flowers in a vase (use whatever is in season, in the garden, or affordable)

If your due date is fast approaching, you might want to set up this spell where you can see it every day-try the top of your dresser or on a shelf in the living room. If you prefer, try one of those large seven-day types of candles (you know, the kind that comes in a tall glass jar). That way, you can light and relight the candle as the mood suits you. If you are working this spell for your partner, make sure to get their permission sion and try working the spell together as a couple about to become a family.

Set up this spell in an arrangement that pleases you. Place the grains or the flour inside of the cauldron to keep the area tidy. Try propping up the tarot cards and photo against the candle, cup, or cauldron. During the pregnancy, I would repeat the spell once a month. As you get into the last week of the pregnancy, I would repeat it every day. (The seven-day candle will come in handy for that.) If you are working this together as a couple, then adjust the words accordingly.

Frigga I do call, protect and watch over me today
Bless this child that I carry as it grows stronger each day
Tokens of fertility are the grains and the flowers
Candles and cards are symbols of a new mother’s power
Guard us both during the labor and delivery
Help me to be strong and to have a healthy baby.
Close the spell with this line:
By the Mother Goddess, the moon and sun
By the power of love, this spell is done.

Allow the candle to burn for as long as you wish, just be sure to keep an eye on it. Replace the grains and flowers with fresher ones as needed. Good luck to your family, and best wishes for a safe delivery and a happy, healthy baby!

Must Do’s For Friday

Egyptian Comments & GraphicsMust Do’s For Friday

Fridays are days of loving enchantments and passionate emotions.

See how many ways you could add a little loving enchantment into your life and the lives of your loved ones. If you wish to explore the topic of love and romance witchery even further, then check out my book How to Enchant a Man: Spells to Bewitch, Bedazzle &Beguile. If cat magick has tickled your fancy, then for further study read my book The Enchanted Cat: Feline Fascinations, Spells &Magick.

In the meantime, try sharing red berries with your partner some enchanted evening. Work that meditation, and see what other mysteries Freya has to teach you. Wear a Venus planetary color and call on the Goddess for a little inner sparkle. Burn some floral incense, light up some rosy candles, and set a romantic mood. Try wearing a little copper jewelry, and see how it affects you and your Friday magick. Get those potpourri and philter recipes going, and see what you can conjure up.

Advancing your magickal skills takes drive, ambition, and passion. Work with Eros to discover just how much enthusiasm, inspiration, and drive he can bring into your days, for the imagination is a place where dreams flourish and ideas come to fruition.

Call on these fertile and romantic powers, and create your own unique spells and charms. Just think of all the magickal information that you can now add to your repertoire of witchery. Lastly, remember this: when you combine imagination and a loving heart with magick, you’ll succeed every time.

Friday’s Witchery

 

Love magick is a perennial popular topic. However, there is more to this topic than meets the eye. There are many enchanting layers here for us to explore on this day of the week. What about creating a loving home, or producing a loving and nurturing family? What about keeping your intimate relationships vital and on track? How about promoting happy, healthy, and eduring friendships? See, there is more to be considered than just the “You shall be mine….” type of fictional love spell.

Don’t forget that many of the deities associated with Fridays are also parents. So, yes, while this is the day to work on romance, sex, and love spells, there is additional magick to be considered here, which makes Fridays a more well-rounded and bigger opportunity for witchery than many folks ever truly realize. The truest, strongest magick always comes from the heart.

Egyptian Comments & Graphics

The Goddess is Alive

Moon shines down upon a sea of Light,
Shifting sands lay singing in the Heart of the Night.
I looked upon a scene that gripped me to the core,
White-clad maidens below were dancing on the shore.

Sweet sounds slipped from moon-lit throats,
Wind whipped hair abound,
Lit by the light within and without,
The Women circled ’round.

As I stood, water engulfed my feet,
My body swayed to your Heavenly Heart beat.
Wind and wave and fire light,
Paled in my mind Earthly delight.

Time slipped by me as you held your embrace,
And windblown spray covered my face.
Protected deep within your Womb,
I could feel the tender pain of Life’s bloom.

Candles flared high as the Dance progressed,
Deep inside with a healing touch you blessed.
All around, wind, wave and fire shouted of your life,
Your light speared deep within, soothing my strife.

Divine Mother, Goddess of Light,
To you I come seeking protection from the night.
Come home to shelter within your arm,
Surrounded by Love, hidden from harm.

Holy Mother, Queen of Heaven and Earth,
From you we all trace our Birth.
Heavenly Goddess, light from above,
Shine down upon us, we pray for your Love.

Jar of Stones Spell

Jar of Stones Spell

 

A magic spell of protection and power for the home. This simple spell provides both protection and energy for your home. It is a spell that constantly grows in strength and can actually be done daily.

You will need:

A glass jar
A small amount of clean sand
A beeswax candle

Find a glass jar that you would like to use for your spell (a quart canning jar is a good choice). Wash the jar thoroughly inside and out with warm water and soap. Dry the jar completely. Light your beeswax candle and drop a few drops of molten wax onto the interior bottom of the jar. Next, place about one inch of sand in the jar.

Place the jar near an entrance door to your home. Every time you find a small stone, drop it in the jar. Any type of stone will do, so feel free to be creative with the stones used. You do not have to put a stone in daily, they can be added as frequently as you wish. It is important though that you put them in one at a time and the spell works best if you put no more than one stone in per day.

As you add each stone, speak the following words aloud:

Snare the evils, bring them woe,
Where they wish, don’t let them go,
Evil from this place be banned,
By this wish, by this command!

Once the bottle has been filled, put the lid on and leave it by the door. You can make as many of these as you like and place them by every door. Touch the jar and repeat your chant at least once a week to reinforce the power of the spell. This spell will help defend your home and family from the negative energy that uninvited visitors and negative thoughts can produce. It also introduces power and energy into the home and revitalizes a family’s strength.

River Spell

River Spell

A cleansing spell – This powerful spell is used to wash away bad memories and cleanse the mind of sorrow and pain.

You will need:

A beeswax candle
Two bowls
Water from a flowing river or stream
A small stone from the river or stream
A piece of white cloth (a handkerchief will do)

Fill the bowls half-full with the river or stream water.

Light the candle and place the bowls on either side of it. Holding the stone in your left hand, bring to mind those memories you wish to be diminished and finally swept away. Still using your left hand, pass the stone through the candle’s flame and speak aloud the following words:

Memories I wish to leave,
River, wash them clean,
In your power I believe,
Power I have seen.

Place the stone in the bowl to your left and rub the stone, as if cleansing it, using only your left hand. Remove the stone and speak the following words aloud:

Memories, like darkness fade,
In the morning’s sun,
And leave but shadows in the shade,
Where the river runs.

Move the stone to your right hand and place it in the bowl of water to your right, allowing it to rest at the bottom of the bowl. With your right hand, gently swirl the water in the bowl. When the water stops moving, extinguish the candle, remove the stone from the bowl using your right hand, place it on the white cloth and allow it to dry in the air. Once thoroughly dry, the stone should be placed under your pillow while you sleep. Keep the stone under your pillow until the memories have sufficiently faded.

Three Red Leaves Protection Spell

Three Red Leaves Protection Spell

 

Begin by gathering 3 red leaves from any plant, bush or tree. Lay the leaves on a flat surface to form a triangle. In the center of the triangle of leaves, place a lighted candle. On each leaf, place a few drops of chrysanthemum oil.

Speak aloud the following words three times:
Red leaves, gift from earth,
Birth to death and death to birth,
Keep all evil far away,
Day to night and night to day.

When you have spoken the words three times, extinguish the candle and wrap the leaves in a white cloth or place them in a white pouch. Place the packet under your mattress or near your bed within three feet of your head for protection against nightmares and invasions of evil.

A Spell for Protection of Your Home

A Spell for Protection of Your Home

You will need:

Salt & Water
Incense
Milk & Honey
Oil
Wine
Bells, Pots, Pans, Whistles, etc.

Cast a circle in the main room and after casting, visualize the circle expanding to include the entire house. Call upon the spirits and energies living in the house (or apartment). Invite those who will be harmonious with the new household and its energies to remain. Invite/ask those who will be happier elsewhere to depart. Release all “energies” not compatible with the new household.

Note: This may be expressed as a “release” in order to unbind anything that may be stuck.

Then call upon, greet, and invite ancestors, patron deities, and all harmonious spirits and energies to dwell in the house as they please.

Gather up the pots, pans, and all the noise-makers. Go to each door and window, not forgetting the fire-place and dog-door, making as much racket as humanly possible–to drive out the unwanted.

Go again throughout the house and at each portal (door, window, etc.) sprinkle salt-water and incense, saying: “By the Elements I purify and charge this portal.”

Then anoint the portal with milk and honey, saying: “By Milk and Honey I ensure prosperity and peace within this place.”

Finally, anoint the portal with oil, saying: “With Oil I seal this portal and protect all within.”

At the front door a special prayer is said, asking the guardian deities to freely grant entry to all friends and loved ones, and to prevent passage (turn aside) to any who would do harm.”

Then, if it’s a house–pour wine across the width of the threshold; if it’s an apartment anoint the threshold with light touches of wine.

The house-holders then each take a sip of wine, leaving some as an offering to the Gods, and the Circle should be closed. The remaining wine, milk, and honey should be offered to the Gods which can be accomplished by pouring over the ground.
