Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Your Day

I will hopefully be back to posting the extra information tomorrow. I have to be off all types of pain medication until I see the orthopedic doctor at 11:00 AM CST today for my right knee that I hurt on January 2nd. As those of you who suffer from chronic pain know, my pain level is off the 1-10 pain chart right now, so anything I do hurts so much more. I will let you know what they decide to do with my knee tomorrow.

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

Moon Phase for Sunday March 2nd, 2025

The current moon phase for today is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 2.43 days old and 7.81% illuminated with a tilt of 105.674°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 362,140.24 km and the moon sign is Aries.

The Moon phase for today 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.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, March 2 to Saturday, March 8, 2025

All Signs

This year Mercury goes retrograde three times. The first time is from March 15 to April 7, which means we can expect transportation problems, transit delays, late deliveries, mixed-up communications, misplaced items, equipment breakdowns, and people from the past popping up. On the upside, this is an excellent time to finish old projects, study the past and get a better understanding of our own personal history. Because there’s a shadow phase before and after each retrograde — be smart and avoid buying ground transportation, technology, computers and cell phones between March 8 – April 27. (Gulp.) Yes, Mercury retrograde has benefits and drawbacks. It’s like when one door closes and another door opens, which probably means you’re in prison.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Heads up! This is a lively week! Admittedly, the Sun is still hiding in your chart, which means you’re happy to work alone or behind the scenes. Nevertheless, on Monday, busy Mercury enters your sign, making you be eager to express your point of view to others. Your mind will be busy, and you’ll have a strong urge to get out and be on the go. “Shops must be visited. Money must be spent!” But lo! Mercury will be retrograde in your sign on March 15 until April 7. (The buffer dates are March 8 – April 27.) That means THIS is the week to buy technology, cars, trucks, computers and cell phones. If not, wait until after April 27.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an exciting week! On Monday, the Moon enters your sign to stay until Wednesday morning. (Once a month the Moon is in your sign for 2 1/2 days, and when this occurs, it gives you an advantage over all the other signs because your luck is slightly improved.) On Tuesday, you’ll be energetic, practical and focused; and at the same time, light on your feet and ready for change. Go after what you want! Mid-week, financial issues look favourable! Look for ways to improve your job or get a better paying job or boost your earnings because you’ll be convincing when talking to others. Saturday is a marvellous day to entertain. Invite family and friends over for good food and drink!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a fabulous week! The Sun is at high noon in your chart, casting you in a flattering spotlight making you look great in the eyes of others, especially authority figures. This advantage happens only once a year so by all means use this to go after what you want. Meanwhile, you have ambitious energy this week, which is why you’ll accomplish more than usual, even though at the same time, it’s a lighthearted, pleasant week. (You’ll be like Col. Saito “Be happy in your work!”) Midweek the Moon in your sign lines up with lucky Jupiter boosting your optimism! By Saturday, you’ll dream up ways to get richer – or you’ll spend money big time. Maybe both?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’re eager for adventure! You want to travel and expand your world. Note: Explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law because this is the year to get performance ready for next year, which is your time of harvest (which occurs once every 30 years). Meanwhile, this is a friendly week! Enjoy schmoozing with pals, groups and organizations. Someone or something will surprise you. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Moon will be in your sign giving you an advantage over all the other signs. In fact, Saturday promises you a day full of productive opportunities! Make use of this day, because you are favoured. Hey – if you want something you’ve never had – you gotta do something you’ve never done.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

As this week begins, you’re high viz., which means people notice you. (In fact, some will know personal details about your private life.) Something sudden and unexpected related to an authority figure (a parent, boss or even the police) might occur. Be aware of this. Fear not because this is actually a playful week! Even though you’re focused on taxes, debt and shared property, you want to travel and explore exciting ideas and learn new things. It’s a popular time for you, although by the end of the week, you’ll be happy to relax and rest. Treat yourself to time off from your busy schedule. Do something restorative and pampering. Self-care – physical and mental. You matter.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Remember to get more sleep because with the Sun opposite your sign right now, your energy might be flagging. Nevertheless, you want to do something different this week. You want travel, adventure and memorable moments! (Note: Late Tuesday travel plans will be unpredictable.) Midweek, you’re noticed, which is fortunate because you make a great impression on others. Obviously, this is your opportunity to demand the advantage or advance your agenda. (Timing is everything.) Meanwhile, gifts, goodies and financial favours from others will come to you this week. Get ready for a popular weekend that’s physically active and maybe competitive. “Seize the day – trust not in the morrow!”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a happy and productive week. You have an ambitious To Do list and you want to be efficient as possible. You also want to improve your health. And why not? Style icon, Vogue editor and fellow Libran Diana Vreeland said, “The body must stay fit. Fit people like themselves much better.” You will be pleased with what you accomplish this week even though it’s also a fun-loving, social time. At the beginning of the week, financial red-tape issues (taxes, insurance and debt) and shared property might be a focus. Expect a surprise. Midweek you want to travel and “get away from all this.” Hopefully, you can do something different that is stimulating and exciting. By the weekend, you’re high viz. and others admire you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

When the going gets tough – the Scorpios play! This is a wonderful week for sports, social outings, fun activities with kids, the arts and doing absolutely anything that pleases you. Admittedly, the week begins with the Moon opposite your sign, which means you have to go more than halfway when you’re dealing with others. No biggie. Be polite, friendly and conciliatory. Midweek, financial discussions and negotiations will favour you. In fact, it’s an excellent time to decide how to share or divide something. By the end of the week, you’ll be eager for adventure, and hungry to travel or get a change of scenery. Meanwhile, relations with coworkers are cozy. In fact, a work-related romance might begin.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re happy to nest at home this week; however, you will also enjoy entertaining others because you’re in a playful mood and keen to socialize. Travel will appeal – as always. (Sagittarius is the traveller of the zodiac.) As the week begins, you might tackle new creative projects. You’ll work hard and perhaps work on behalf of someone else. Midweek, when the Moon opposes your sign, you have to cooperate with others, which is not difficult for you because at heart, you’re breezy and easy-going. By the end of the week, you have strong feelings about financial matters and sharing wealth with someone else. You might even debate the ownership of something. But on the whole, it’s a lighthearted week. Enjoy!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a lovely week for your sign because the pace is fast and you’re happy with your busy schedule of short trips, errands, appointments plus increased reading and studying. Home repairs and family discussions will take place. Nevertheless, at the beginning of the week, you want to schmooze and socialize! Enjoy sports events, fun outings and playful activities with kids. Parents take note: be vigilant about your children to avoid accidents. Midweek, work-related travel and a chance to buckle down and get things done will appeal to you. By the end of the week, with the Moon opposite your sign, you are best served by being cooperative with others. This means you have to go along to get along.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

With fair Venus in your House of Communications, your everyday surroundings and activities are pleasant and agreeable. In fact, your appreciation of the beauty of your everyday surroundings will make you happy to be in your skin. This is a great time to enjoy the company of others. It’s also an excellent time for writers and intellectual creativity. Meanwhile, although money and cash flow are on your mind, take time to enjoy home and family at the beginning of the week. (Caution against accidents.) Midweek offers wonderful opportunities to schmooze and socialize, particularly with the arts, sports events and fun times with kids. Expect a busy weekend.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This continues to be a powerful time for you because the Sun is in your sign giving you a chance to re-energize and replenish yourself. Both Mercury and Venus are in your Money House prompting you to think about moneymaking ideas. Venus of course wants you to buy beautiful things. Meanwhile, you’re busy with appointments, discussions with siblings and relatives as well as short trips. Midweek, you’ll enjoy hunkering down at home. Some will explore real-estate opportunities. Friday to Sunday promise social outings, fun activities with kids, romance, competitive sports and chances for a weekend getaway. This week can be whatever you want it to be.

March 2025 Moon Details

The Full Moon for this month will occur in the second week on Friday, March 14th. The New Moon will happen later in March on Saturday, March 29th.

March Full Worm Moon

March’s full moon is commonly called the Full Worm Moon. This is because of the earthworms that wriggle out of the ground as the earth begins to thaw in March. Here’s a little known fact about March’s full moon: it was called the Worm Moon only by Southern Native American tribes. In fact, there’s no way the Northern tribes would have ever called it the Worm Moon – and the reason why is fascinating.

Essentially, earthworms did not exist in Northern America. It would be literally impossible for Northern tribes to see worms popping up in March. All the earthworms you see in Northern America today are invasive species brought in by colonists. These earthworms were brought over either out of a misguided intent to help fertilize the soil, or as an accident along with transported plants or the soil used for ballast in ships. Little did the colonists know that during the last ice age, glaciers had spread so far across Canada and the northern parts of the United States that all earthworms had been completely wiped out.

When the deep ice melted 12,000 years ago, the native forests in those areas grew back and adapted to the loss of earthworms. The growth of these forests became dependent on a layer of duff, which is a compost layer comprised of decomposing leaves and other rotting organic matter. If you ever visit one of these native forests, you will be asked to clean your shoes and make sure it’s free of earthworm eggs. That’s because while it’s normally harmless everywhere else, earthworms will aggressively destroy the native forest’s duff layer by eating right through it.

This is why in Northern American tribes such as the Shawnee tribe, the Worm Moon is called the Sap Moon instead, as a reminder for the tribes that they can begin tapping maple syrup. In general, March’s full moon is known as a herald for the beginning of spring and new agricultural cycles. The Anglo-Saxons even used the Worm Moon as a way to predict the state of their crops. They called it the Storm Moon if it was stormy, which was a sign that their crops would fail. But if it was dry, they called it the Rugged Moon, an indication of a bounteous harvest.

One of its other names is the Chaste Moon, symbolizing the purity of early spring. The Pueblo tribe named it the Moon When the Leaves Break Forth, while in Shoshone culture it was known as the Warming Moon. Sometimes it is called the Crow Moon, after the crows and other birds that appear as winter draws to a close. Other times, it’s called the Crust Moon, because of the snow that becomes crusty when it thaws in the sun and freezes in the moonlight.

In India, March’s full moon is also seen as a symbol of the arrival of spring, and coincides with the festival of Holi. This is a riotous party where Indian communities all around the world engage in a huge water fight. Everyone goes out into the streets and sprays each other with colored water and powders, singing and dancing with strangers and loved ones alike. Playing and feasting together is a chance for you to repair relationships that have gone bad, reaffirming your existing social bonds as you move forward together into the new year.

40 Herbs for Magick and Their Uses

In the realm of magic, herbs have been essential tools for centuries, believed to hold potent energies that can influence the physical and spiritual worlds. The practice of using herbs in spells and rituals is steeped in a rich tapestry of history, intertwosing ancient lore from cultures such as the Celts, Egyptians, and Native Americans. These civilizations recognized the unique properties of various plants and infused them into their mystical traditions, creating a foundation for modern magical herbalism.

The use of herbs in magic today is as diverse as it is ancient, encompassing a wide range of intentions from protection and love to prosperity and healing. Each herb is thought to possess its own unique vibration or spirit, contributing to its effectiveness in specific magical workings. For example, lavender is commonly used for its calming properties and is often incorporated into spells for peace, tranquility, and sleep. In contrast, rosemary is considered a powerful cleansing herb, used to purify spaces and objects, as well as to boost memory and mental clarity.

A compelling statistic that highlights the enduring allure of magical herbs is that up to 80% of the world’s population relies on herbal medicine for some part of primary healthcare, according to the World Health Organization. This underscores not only the global belief in the healing properties of herbs but also their continued relevance in both medicinal and magical practices. Sage, with its aromatic leaves, is one such herb revered for its ability to clear negative energy when burned, a ritual known as smudging that has been embraced by various spiritual paths.

Another fascinating aspect of magical herbalism is astrology, with many practitioners aligning their use of herbs to the celestial movements. Mugwort, for instance, is often associated with the moon and is used to enhance psychic abilities, dream work, and astral projection. On the other hand, sun-associated herbs like sunflower and calendula are sought for spells that invoke vitality, success, and joy.

Interest in magical herbs has seen a resurgence in modern times, with individuals seeking a more natural or spiritual approach to their lives. Kitchen witches, for example, incorporate magical herbs into their cooking, subtly weaving spells into their everyday meals. This practice illustrates that the magic of herbs can be accessible to anyone, even without elaborate rituals. Basil is a prime example, often used to stir in prosperity and protection with every dish it seasons.

Herbs like chamomile are cherished for their gentle nature, offering peace and attracting money, while bolder herbs such as ginger are used to ‘heat up’ spells, adding power and speed to their manifestation. With the world looking towards more sustainable and earth-centered lifestyles, the knowledge and use of these powerful plants have found new respect and significance in contemporary spiritual practices.

In the realm of love and attraction, herbs like rose petals and jasmine have been long valued. They are often included in love sachets or baths, with the aim of drawing in romantic vibrations. Crumbled dried rose petals might be sprinkled around a space to invite love, while a jasmine-infused oil might be worn to attract a potential partner.

Finally, the connectivity of herbs to the elements of earth, air, fire, and water also plays a crucial role in magical practices. For instance, seaweed and lotus are associated with the water element and are used in spells that deal with emotions, intuition, and healing—their relationship with water suggesting fluidity and purification. This elemental correspondence offers practitioners a way to balance and harness natural energies in their work, further solidifying herbs as integral components of magical systems across cultures and time.

The practice of using herbs for their magical properties has been a cornerstone in various cultures and traditions throughout history. Each herb carries its unique attributes, which can be harnessed for rituals, spells, and creating amulets.

All Signs

Mars has been retrograde in Cancer, which is tough for Canada and the US — both Cancer countries born July 1 and July 4. Tempers flare. People are stifled. Progress is stalled. Nothing is flowing as it should. Finally, today Mars turns direct. But this change is subtle. The fact is Mars sits at 17? Cancer from February 12 until March 9. (Three and a half weeks of a violin playing the same note!) Nevertheless, today Mars starts to inch forward. Hallelujah! This is hopeful. This is positive. This is constructive. But it’s slow. By early May, change will become apparent. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde (not Mars) occurs March 15 to April 7. (The shadow phase March 8 – April 27.) This window is a poor time to buy ground transportation, technology, computers and cell phones. Forewarned is forearmed! (Nothing to do with four arms or forearms.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Because the Sun is hiding in your chart right now, you’re happy to play things low-key and take a backseat or work behind the scenes. Nevertheless, starting today, your ruler Mars will no longer be retrograde. This will be like taking the brakes off. You won’t move forward because you’re not stepping on the gas; but at least, the brakes are off. In a few weeks, you’ll feel matters related to home and family began to gather momentum. This means home improvements and anything related to renovations or real-estate negotiations will start to unfold with promise, and there will be increased activity where you live. Unfortunately, domestic strife might arise if you don’t agree with others. And so it goes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Finally! The pace of your life will pick up slowly in the next few weeks. Likewise, your energy will also increase slowly, and noticeably after March 9. (You can count on this.) Not only will you feel your energy increase, the dynamics of your intellect and your communications with others will become more purposeful, even aggressive, especially if anyone disagrees with you. This is because you’ll identify with your ideas! As your energy picks up, likewise, your daily calendar will become busier with appointments, errands, short trips, travel plans plus reading, writing and studying. You have something to say!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Financial matters and dealing with your possessions and the things you own have been stressful. You might have struggled with money decisions, while some of you lost your gusto to earn money or boost your earnings. This has been a concern. You might also have become a victim of your possessions. Be encouraged to know that these doubts will fade starting today. In fact, in a few weeks, you’ll be purposeful, confident and active in moving your assets around and using your money to do your bidding. You will use your money to benefit yourself, buying things and taking care of your possessions in a way that makes you feel good. After all, with Jupiter in your sign, you have divine protection!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Life has been challenging for you in the past few months because Mars has been retrograde in your sign. Starting today, this is over. But like a large ship that takes a while to slowly turn, it will take a few weeks for you to feel the energy building up until you’re pumped! At that point, you will be productive. You will assert yourself among others. You’ll be more of a fighter for your own rights as well as the rights of others. Basically, you will sense down deep, that this is your chance to show the world what you can do. If not now, then when? For the first time in 12 years, lucky Jupiter is going to enter your sign this summer in June. Then, you’ll be PowerPoint on steroids! All hail!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This has been a difficult time for you because some of your worst fears seem to be possible, creating feelings of self-doubt or making you paralyzed to act. But not entirely. Your fun-loving self still shines through and you have enjoyed good times. Nevertheless, this shadow phase has been there for the last few months. Be reassured that starting today, these feelings of angst and concern will start to diminish. In the next few weeks, your confidence will grow and by April 18, fiery Mars will burst back into your sign making you will feel empowered! “Bring me my bow of burnished gold. Bring me my arrows of desire…… Bring me my chariot of fire!”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You like to help others because it makes you feel good. (We all feel this way but I think Virgos feel this more strongly than other signs. It’s a blessing you have.) But in the last few months, your interactions with groups, clubs, organizations and friends has challenged some basic principles. If options were not obvious or readily available, you ignored the demands of others because it seemed too hard to do something about it. (Yes, I know this is not like you.) Starting today, you will slowly turn things around. In fact, after a few weeks, you’ll become more involved with friends and groups and make things happen! You’ll enjoy being physically active and even competitive with others! Oh yeah.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You sense that you’re approaching an opportunity later this year when you will make a great impression on others. (This is true.) Therefore, it’s in your best interest to do whatever you can to be performance ready. Nevertheless, in the last several weeks, this hasn’t motivated you. Meh. In part this was because you had a lot on your plate; plus, the motivation just wasn’t there. (Let’s put that P back in apathy.) However, starting today a new wind will begin blowing through your world and in a few weeks, your ambition to achieve will be aroused! In fact, you’ll be so determined, you might clash with bosses or authority figures. One thing that will support you now is that you’re keen to work! (This is a fortuitous coincidence.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Recently the beliefs that you have embraced have been challenged. You have questioned your respect for tradition. Along with this, your desire to travel has been frustrated with obstacles and delays. No worries. As of today, this confusing, frustrating energy will begin to subside and slowly, in its place, you will find that you are excited about creative, intellectual opportunities. You might have a chance to travel. Avenues in publishing, the media, the law and medicine will be hold promise for you. Some of you will meet exciting people from different backgrounds and other cultures. Ironically, the thing that you have been trying to do will suddenly become possible and you will expand your knowledge of the world. Yay!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Now that Mars is moving forward, your ego will get stronger when it comes to confronting others about financial situations, disputes about inheritances, discussions about shared property and defining shared responsibilities. You won’t hesitate to speak up and defend your rights. However, you might choose to reevaluate or modify your position on something. After all, you’re dealing with possessions, property and debt that are jointly held. (This includes credit card companies.) Interactions with a parent are significant. Home repairs are likely. Nevertheless, Venus will guarantee fun socializing with others!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Mars retrograde opposite your sign has created angst in your closest relationships and partnerships. (I know you’re nodding your head.) The good news is that as of today, much of this tension will reduce. Nevertheless, Mars will still be opposite your sign, creating some tension in a testy way. But the positive note is that you will be more successful in airing your grievances and standing up for yourself. Furthermore, both parties will be inclined now to put energy into repairing the relationship. This is a busy time with short trips, conversations, reading and studying. Make time to relax and entertain at home. Share good food and drink with a friend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Good news! The fact that Mars is no longer retrograde is excellent for you because both your health and your ability to work efficiently have been adversely affected. One aspect of these problems was your own self-doubt and even fear. But now these negative forces are diminished. You’ll move forward. Your new strength and attitude will build (albeit slowly) but they will strengthen in the next eight weeks. You’ll be that confident Action Hero once again! Continue to focus on financial matters and acting on moneymaking ideas. Fortunately, right now you have the ability to appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings – which is a blessing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your relationships with your kids as well as your relationships with romantic partners (to say nothing of your involvement with creative projects and socializing with others) has been off the rails lately. We both know this. Starting today those influences that were contributing to this dysfunctional situation will end. Admittedly, as you slowly turn 180? to go in the opposite direction, the improvements will come but incrementally, which means you must be patient. Be patient with your kids. Be patient with romantic partners. Be patient with your own appreciation (or lack of it) of your creative talents. Happier times are waiting for you as the next eight weeks unfold. Count on this!
