A General Healing Spell For Health

This is one of the healing spells that requires a few more ingredients, but it’s super effective for the long-term.

Ingredients:

  • 3 white candles
  • Mint essential oil
  • Sandalwood essential oil
  • 3 clear quartz crystals or other healing crystals
  • 3 small pieces of paper

Cleanse your space and ingredients.

Sprinkle each of the candles with all three oils, then do the same to the crystals. Place the candles in a triangle shape on your alter or table and place a stone in front of each candle.

Write the name of the person you intend to heal three times (once on each piece of paper) even if this person is yourself. Place all three pieces of paper in the center of the triangle.

Light the candles and raise your energy. Focus on the sick person and picture them being well and whole. Repeat the following 3 times:

Magic mend and candle burn,

Illness leave and health return.

Let the candles burn for 30 minutes then snuff them out. Repeat this ritual nightly or weekly until the individual is healed.

August 8, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 8th, 2025 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.07 days old and 97.4% illuminated with a tilt of 102.007°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 386,595.82 km and the moon sign is Capricorn.

The Moon phase for August 8th, 2025 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous 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. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Moon age: 14.07 days

Who to Invite: If heads of state can’t make themselves available, check if Beyonce, Brad Pitt, or a Kardashian might squeeze the soiree into their schedules.

AUGUST 7 birthday horoscope predicts that you are spiritually aware, imaginative and friendly. You have a tendency to want to balance things out but you can be impulsive as the zodiac sign for today is Leo. You have a clear vision of what you want out of life.

The August 7th horoscope predicts that you are very reliable individuals, more so than others. You are likely to follow your feelings when you have to make a snap decision.

Otherwise, you love an elegant lifestyle. All the finest things are because of your kind nature. When it comes to love, you are not always a logical person, but you never lose your ability to communicate quite effectively, I may add.

What your birthday says about you is that when you walk into a room, all heads turn. You’re creative when it comes to making dramatic entrances. The August 7 birthday personality shows that you are fun, outgoing and confident!

You’re a Leo who is likely to roar and with a blazing attitude that is almost impossible to resist. If you were born on this day, you are insatiable. People flock to you making other people green with envy. In other words, you got it going on, Leo.

The August 7th horoscope meanings suggest that you are very generous and loyal to your friends. You will go out of your way to accommodate them such as rearranging your schedule to fit their needs.

You have this way of making people feel special. It’s nothing for you to put a party together. You make such a gracious host. Typically, your friends are there for a reason but mainly to keep you grounded, committed and involved.

The August 7 astrology also predicts that you are so passionate that people get attached to your affectionate and playful ways. This particular Lion is a leader, a provider and is independent.

You can expect this one to lurk every once in a while. Leos are adventurous, especially in the bedroom. The perfect lover for his Leo birthday is someone who is loving, fun and equal to Lion’s intelligence.

Those born on this birthday August 7, are characteristically the people who get it done. They are not the analytical thinkers like the others, but this Lion has a lot of gets up and go. You must be busy doing this creative project or exploring that new territory.

No matter what you have going on, you will still maintain an active but productive life. And the Lion doesn’t do anything that’s not quality work; it’s your best or nothing at all. You will not do anything half-hearted.

This is a great August 7 zodiac personality trait to have as a friend, loved one or business associate. Additionally, you are going places, Leo. You’re ambitious enough to venture out on your own. It could be the key to your financial and personal success.

An August 7 birthday personality is funny, creative and generous. You can be stubborn, self-absorbed but very powerful. You like bright colors and short road trips.

If today is your birthday, you do not like to be ignored nor do you like what reality has to offer. This Lion is best suited in an environment that is inspiring. You own the spotlight as you make your best arrival.

Thursday is the fifth day of the week.   In the Norse languages this day is called Torsdag, honoring Thor, the god of strength, fertility, thunder, the protector and defender in war, and son of Odin.  Thor is the counterpart of Zeus (Greek), and Jupiter or Jove (Roman).  Thor, the most beloved of the great gods of northern mythology, is the only god who cannot cross from earth to heaven across the rainbow bridge, for he is so heavy and powerful that the gods fear it will break under his weight.  It was said that whenever his hammer Mjollnir, was thrown, it would produce a thunderbolt and when struck against stone, it would create lightning.

Jupiter Amulet to Attract Money

This ritual is amazing to create and consecrate an amulet to attract money.

Ingredients:

How to perform it:

Place the seven yellow candles around the silver coin and light them.

Light the three sandalwood incense sticks one by one, by reciting these magical words:

“Jupiter, ruler of the lightning bolt and king of the gods, lead me to fortune by means of your greatness, power, and energy.”

Cover the silver coin with rice and recite this magic formula seven times:

“Jupiter, be my guide, lead me to wealth, money, success.”

Let the candles and incense sticks burn out and put the silver coin and rice inside the green cloth bag.

Keep the magic bag with you like a money-attracting amulet.

August 6, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 6th, 2025 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 13.03 days old and 92.86% illuminated with a tilt of 110.398°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 391,220.17 km and the moon sign is Capricorn.

The Moon phase for August 6th, 2025 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous 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. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 5th, 2025 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 11.99 days old and 86.5% illuminated with a tilt of 118.195°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 395,594.84 km and the moon sign is Capricorn.

The Moon phase for August 5th, 2025 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous 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. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Who to Invite: If heads of state can’t make themselves available, check if Beyonce, Brad Pitt, or a Kardashian might squeeze the soiree into their schedules.

August 3, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 3rd, 2025 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 9.92 days old and 69.92% illuminated with a tilt of 133.635°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 402,167.71 km and the moon sign is Sagittarius.

The Moon phase for August 3rd, 2025 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous 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. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.
