November 22, 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for November 22nd, 2024 is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 20.24 days old and 60.63% illuminated with a tilt of -33.548°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 393,374.41 km and the moon sign is Leo.

The Moon phase for November 22nd, 2024 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

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

Appalachia Mountain Roots Plants and Herbs

Appalachia – From Wikipedia

This article is about the region in the United States. For other uses, see Appalachia (disambiguation).

Appalachia (/ˌæpəˈlætʃə, –leɪtʃə, –leɪʃə/) is a cultural region in the Eastern United States that stretches from the Southern Tier of New York State to northern Alabama and Georgia.[1] While the Appalachian Mountains stretch from Belle Isle in Canada to Cheaha Mountain in Alabama, Appalachia typically refers only to the cultural region of the central and southern portions of the range, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia southwest to the Great Smoky Mountains. As of the 2010 United States Census, the region was home to approximately 25 million people.[2]

Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament, and behavior of its inhabitants. Early 20th century writers often engaged in yellow journalism focused on sensationalistic aspects of the region’s culture, such as moonshining and clan feuding, and often portrayed the region’s inhabitants as uneducated and prone to impulsive acts of violence. Sociological studies in the 1960s and 1970s helped to re-examine and dispel these stereotypes.[3]

While endowed with abundant natural resources, Appalachia has long struggled economically and been associated with poverty. In the early 20th century, large-scale logging and coal mining firms brought wage-paying jobs and modern amenities to Appalachia, but by the 1960s the region had failed to capitalize on any long-term benefits[4] from these two industries. Beginning in the 1930s, the federal government sought to alleviate poverty in the Appalachian region with a series of New Deal initiatives, such as the construction of dams to provide cheap electricity and the implementation of better farming practices. On March 9, 1965, the Appalachian Regional Commission[5] was created to further alleviate poverty in the region, mainly by diversifying the region’s economy and helping to provide better health care and educational opportunities to the region’s inhabitants. By 1990, Appalachia had largely joined the economic mainstream but still lagged behind the rest of the nation in most economic indicators.[3]

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** Once a year, the Sun will sit across from your sign for four weeks. Today is the beginning of this annual event. For starters, it means that you will need more sleep in the next four weeks because you will be more tired. You will also have a chance to more objectively see your role in your closest relationships.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Roll up your sleeves because you’ll be keen to be as productive as possible in the next four weeks. You want to get things done and you want to do them as efficiently and effectively as possible to make every action count. (This could be influenced by the fact that you’re hemorrhaging money.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** Lucky you! While fiery Mars boosts your energy, today the Sun moves into your fellow Fire Sign for the next four weeks giving you opportunities to socialize, enjoy the arts and be active in sports events. Opportunities for romance will flourish!

Take charge of your health. Stay grounded and levelheaded

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It seems that the best news for today comes from your love life, whether your significant other has some sort of accomplishment that you need to celebrate or that this day marks an important moment for you.

However, your lack of thought of impulsivity at some point might risky destroying the surprise if you keep thinking about what you actually expect.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It seems that this Thursday will throw some obvious prompts in your directions that it kind of is the time for you to think about your love life, whether you are in a relationship or not.

Single natives might feel this innate pressure about them being on their own and might risk jumping head first in some precarious relationships just to not feel frustrated about it.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You know that self criticism is good but only up to a point. There is no need for you to exaggerate some flaws or to allow them from preventing you to fulfill even simple tasks just because you don’t feel you can do them perfectly.

This Thursday will show you exactly how subjective you are and how at times, you are softer with other people than with yourself, even when they don’t deserve it.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are counting too much on what other people are promising and this coupled with you being busy with your own tasks, will make you prone to mistakes and delays.

You need to watch more what is being done rather than what is being said and not feel in any way ashamed or awkward to intervene whenever you feel things are getting out of hand.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Some kind of good news, most likely from afar will probably stimulate you into working even harder, even if it is personal news.

This will not only motivate you into being all conscious but the happiness surrounding all this might even make you forget all about being tired for a while. But at the same time, don’t overreact and make sure you do get some rest later on.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You need to consider yourself warned about reducing your expenses for a bit, even if you just got your paycheck, or especially if so.

You are quite impulsive and quick to indulge yourself even without any real reason so this is why you need to take measures while you are fully awake, before the temptation kicks in. Other than that, a peaceful day ahead.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is not going to be the most auspicious time to go out, especially if you have plans with friends but on the other hand this isn’t actually a warning so there is no need for you to isolate yourself.

This is more like a friendly reminder that you might find yourself in a different perspective than those around and that you will probably find it difficult to integrate with them for a couple of hours.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

No matter how hard you might find it, you need to let some open doors to your life today. And I say you will find it hard because lately you seem to be chasing closures and you tend to try and find balance in your life by keeping all your interpersonal relations spotless clean.

But this Thursday you will have to meet some of these life decisions with open mind and a bit of carelessness just to let them breathe.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is going to be an opportunistic Thursday for all natives who are not afraid to step on something they have said in the past or who are not really all that emotional when it comes to hurting or not the feelings of others.

This also translates into, the ruthless and more direct towards what you want, you are today, the better of a day this will be.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A day of more debate than action as you seemed more preoccupied to be right rather than do something with it.

For some natives this might mean getting into heated arguments with those dear while other natives should be careful with whom they argue, especially in the work place. If you would be as fiery about personal decisions you would probably be in a better place.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Although the day might start in a bit of a haze with some last minute changes or delays creeping in onto an otherwise well made schedule, you need to be patient for the sky to clear up.

This might translate into some good news coming up later and maybe a green light for something you wanted to do. In any way, you will gradually feel as if things are getting back to where they are supposed to be.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A good day to learn new things, especially in the office, something that means some natives will have to leave their self sufficiency aside and just be all open to novelty.

The new lessons might actually come from someone younger or someone you don’t perceive to have as much experience as you do. In any way, the more stubborn you show yourself, the more foolish you will look overall.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Cancer.

The Stars Rate Your Day

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Today might want to retire by yourself and enjoy your own privacy, especially at home among familiar surroundings. Perhaps you want to contemplate your attitude about something? Memories from your past might make you realize how much you are controlled by habits. (So say we all.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

**** Today you’re very keen to talk to someone because not only do you have something to say, you want to make sure that you are heard. This means you have to find someone who will listen to you with an open mind and sincerity. (You don’t want to waste time on superficial chitchat.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** You might feel more attached to your belongings today, which is why you will be reluctant to lend something to someone. Others might feel they have to defend themselves for some reason when there’s really nothing at stake. Curious.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** For two days every month, the Moon is in your sign, and when this occurs, it heightens your feelings and reactions. However, it can also improve your good luck! Seek out the company of others today because you feel a need to belong to something or someone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** Today you will be happy to withdraw from the busyness of your daily world so that you have a chance to enjoy your own solitude. Regardless of your own sex, relations with females could be challenging. It’s also a good day to explore any kind of mystical or spiritual discipline that interests you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** Your emotional contact with a friend or a member of a group might be very important today. In fact, you might feel protective towards a friend or want to nurture them or take care of them in some way. You might even feel jealous if they pay more attention to someone else.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** People might view you as sympathetic or empathetic today, which is why you might be approached by someone who needs or wants something. Be careful about blurring the distinction between professional and personal relationships today because it might happen.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

**** Today you have a strong urge to “get away from all this.” Basically, you need a change of scenery. You need stimulation and adventure! You certainly need to learn something new that is interesting or important. Travel if you can or be a tourist in your own town.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Today your emotional experiences when dealing with others might be more intense than usual. This will especially occur if you are discussing inheritances or how to divide or share something. You might also have to deal with shared property, taxes or debt. (These are not casual things.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** Conflicts with friends, partners or spouses will be more emotional than usual today because the Moon is opposite your sign. If you are not more emotional, then perhaps you will attract someone to you who is. Do your best to listen with sincerity because someone wants to be heard.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** There’s a strong possibility that you will have to put the wants and needs of someone else before your own today. This does not mean you’re being a martyr. It is simply what’s happening. Focus on taking care of health details and matters related to a pet.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** You’ll be more playful and keener to socialize with others today. In fact, relations with romantic partners, your kids, sports events, social outings and anything to do with the arts will delight. Take time to enjoy yourself!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Jodie Foster (1962) shares your birthday today. You are intelligent, determined, private and strong-willed. You have a quirky sense of humour. This is a slower paced year. Take time to rest and rejuvenate yourself. It’s also time to focus on your closest relationships and make sure these people are kind, and that they have your back.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are trying to make some lifestyle changes around you and although you are quite motivated into keeping up with them, not the same can be said about those close to you, especially family members who don’t feel obliged in any way to indulge you.

This might create some strain on your relationships before everything settles down.

You can also read this special Aries Daily Horoscope.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You need to wait a bit more before putting that plan in application, especially if you don’t have someone you can trust there beside you to confide in.

There might be some small details you’ve overlooked and are yet to be revealed to you. But you will need a keen eye next to you for this to happen as well as a bold and honest person who can be direct to you.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You seem to have quite a list of demands configured there and your expectations are increasing at work. But this doesn’t mean that you receive the right support and not be looked at like you are trying to disturb the coziness and peace in the office.

You need to work your way up with those ideas and treat them to someone of authority.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your need to adapt your expectations to what people around you can actually offer, especially in your personal life.

While at work you might be bound by rules to be all out at people who are not performing as you’d like them to, in your personal life you don’t have as many things to refrain from and you will tend to be quite despotic about it.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The current disposition is going to give you a head ache both metaphorically and literally. And while at it, why not add some love drama into the mix as well.

This is why for this Tuesday you need to arm yourself with a lot of patience and maybe at times, close your ears to what others have to say, especially when it is complaining involved.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You find yourself somewhat stuck in a situation that has been persisting for a while now and don’t really seem to find a way out.

For some natives, this might be something that they created while for others it will simply be a personal conflict that they just happen to be into. Don’t worry as this is only temporary and will resolve with the help of a dear friend of yours.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are way too energetic for your own good so this is why you need to be warned about physical activities and exercises which might have you prone to accidents and sprains.

You need to watch your step and not get involved into too much effort, even at home. Other than that, quite a peaceful Tuesday and not very demanding.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You seem set to achieve big but actually it’s just your mind being all active because otherwise you are way to lazy to even move a finger.

This might see you end up in quite a difficult situation, with your big words and motivational speech mobilizing others ready. And when time comes for action you will be the one to abort the mission first.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

As unlikely as it might seem given your situation at the moment, you will be put in the spotlight and presented as a responsible person in your family, the one everyone can depend on.

Either that you are helping with material things or just with some motivational words, it seems that this Tuesday you will actually be riding this wave and making an impact on everyone else.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will benefit by some spotlight during the first part of the day but don’t get too used to the attention because that will quickly diminish.

You need to regroup fast and get along with the rest of the day as normal. Little lingering might be normal but you need not dream for the whole day because you will be forced to then postpone some important activities you should have tended to.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This Tuesday might show you that you are a bit too idealistic when it comes to love and by preferring to see the sweet side of it, you are actually confusing yourself further.

This coupled with some exterior pressure for you to settle down might result into rushing heads on into some decision you might end up regretting in no longer than a few months.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are trying to define a certain aspect of your life but you are not really in the right as all your efforts concentrate on comparing what you are doing with others.

Until you realize that you only compete with yourself for happiness you won’t manage to overcome those conflicting thoughts and worries you are battling at the moment on your own.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

This quote hit home for me. Part of my problem over the last few months has been depression and not wanting to really face my grief from Starbabie and Cleo crossing the rainbow bridge. It is hard to lose a life and magickal companion when you multiply it by two it is even harder. Now that I am letting myself grieve and not pushing memories of them a side I am slowly coming out of my deep depression. The bigger breaks between some posts is because I also have not been taking breaks to move around away from my computer to walk around and stretch like I should which effects my fibromyalgia and not moving around sometimes during posting is adding to my flares being worse.

I won’t apologize for allowing my mental and physical health effect my work on here because it is what it is. I will hope you can understand where I have been and where I am going now.

I thank you all for your continuous support, love, and not giving up on read what I have been posting or not posting. I am sharing this so others going through a rough time know they are not alone even in their darkest times. I am here to “listen” if you want to talk or vent or scream or just whatever you may need. I am not here to replace a doctor or therapist or any other health care professional I am just here as a person willing to be there for you no matter what is going on in your life. Let me add I am an ordained minister so anything you want to share with me will never go any further than my eyes or ears. If you want to email me, send it to ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. If you want to do a Skype audio call email me a couple of times and days that work for you and I will let you know which one fits better for me. Please remember I live in the Central Time zone in the USA when picking a time, I will, if at all possible, stay up late into the night or get up in the wee hours of the morning if that’s what works best for you. To me support and an ear to listen works both ways so I am not just saying I will be there for you I totally mean I will be there for you if you just reach out to me.

Much love, happiness, laughter, joy, and all things positive from me to each of you!

Blessed be.

Moon Alert

After 4 AM EST today (1 AM PST) the Moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.

The Stars Rate Your Day

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

**** Welcome a chance to relax at home today. Perhaps you want to entertain? Possibly, feelings of sympathy about someone might arise. Meanwhile, travel plans and a chance to learn something new by reading, studying or talking to others will be interesting and rewarding.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

**** You’re keen to talk to someone today, which is why new faces and new places will be intriguing. Financial discussions will benefit you. Furthermore, time spent with a spouse, partner or close friend will deepen the bond through a sense of mutual appreciation. (This is nice.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

**** You might feel tenderhearted toward a work colleague today or even a pet. Meanwhile discussions with someone close to you will be exuberant and enthusiastic! As a result, you’ll be tempted to spend money on something beautiful for yourself or someone else. It’s a pleasant day.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Today the Moon is in your sign, which can heighten your feelings about whatever is happening around you. Nevertheless, you might find that you can’t express how you feel even though you are naturally sensitive. You will feel close to your kids today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

*** Conflicting influences exist for your sign today. In one way, you want to hide and be private, and keep things low-key. However, in another way, you feel sociable and eager to circulate and chat to others, especially younger people. Furthermore, work colleagues are friendly. It’s your call.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** This is a popular day for you. Enjoy interacting with friends as well as groups and organizations. In particular, you might invite people to your home, or a gathering of some kind might take place. Accept invitations to socialize because you will shine!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** Today you are noticed. In fact, some people will know personal details about your private life for whatever reason. This could be because you’re entertaining at home today, or involved more than usual with your family. Short trips will be enjoyable because you want to expand your world.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

**** Today you’ll enjoy talking to people from other cultures and countries. You might feel sympathetic to someone. Meanwhile, financial discussions could attract money-making ideas or money your way. In turn, some of you will spend money in a big way. (Keep your receipts.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

**** You feel tenderhearted today, especially to someone older, perhaps a family member. You might want to buy someone a gift? Plus, you have a strong urge to travel or make travel plans because you need a change of scenery – and you know it. You can’t stay anchored for too long.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** For some reason, you feel you have to hide your feelings today. You might feel disappointed in a spouse, partner or close friend. (Fortunately, this is brief.) However, you might connect at a personal level with a friend or a group today, which you will welcome.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** Relations with coworkers might feel strained today. Don’t worry about this because it’s a fleeting thing. Meanwhile, if you’re shopping, be careful about going overboard spending money on elegance and luxury. (You might be tempted to do this because of a secret love affair. Hmmm.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** Because you feel sympathetic and tenderhearted to people from other cultures and different countries today, you might speak out and show some kind of social support, especially for children. Meanwhile, some angst with a friend or a group might occur. Don’t worry about this because it’s brief and will quickly be a thing of the past.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Owen Wilson (1968) shares your birthday today. You are passionate and dramatic. You are also intelligent and insightful. Your work matters to you. This is the first year of a new nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s a time of beginnings, adventures and major changes in your life. Keep your eyes open for fresh opportunities!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You seem to begin the day in a good mood and are quite motivated but maybe the stars don’t have the same priorities as you. This might translate into dealing with some misunderstandings as the day progresses, most likely not created by you but that influence your work in a high measure.

You are afraid not to do any wrong but you still need to sort things out.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is going to be quite a difficult day but your friends are going to stand by you. While in your free time this might not sound as bad, when it comes to work, this surely is menacing.

As a habit, you are trying not to involve anyone else in your work based decisions and any personal intrusion will be harshly reprimanded on the spot.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is not going to be the exuberant Monday you might have been expected and the more hopes you have put in this day, the more disappointed you will be.

The good news is that you are quite self assured this period and you will be able to overcome this without any interference to your work or other serious activities that you have to tend to today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This Monday seems to come along with some very courageous plans, some of them with a slight risk component in them.

But you will be allowed to play on them just because you had the wisdom to take advice from those dear to you, maybe someone older, with more experience than you. The more information you gather, the more secure you will be today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are in need of solid advice for a matter that might have prevented your sleep at night for a while but it seems that it will take you even more time before you figure this out.

You prefer to handle everything on your own just to not worry someone else, especially people in your family but at times, certain worries are best shared.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You appear to be in great shape today but it’s too bad you won’t be able to enjoy it too much as it seems work will probably keep you bound to your desk or on the field for the majority of the day.

This might not tire you too much but it will make you all irritable and impatient as the evening approaches so maybe it’s safe not to make any plans for tonight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

There will be some family issues that will be left unresolved from the morning and they won’t probably let you focus properly at work. While tending to personal calls or something similar, you will probably overlook some small details that are going to make a difference later on.

Be responsible and try to prioritize or at least take breaks when you can occupy yourself just with personal stuff.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are going to be a lot more productive if you let others help you and not try to do everything on your own.

It is all right to try and fix others’ work or maybe add some twitches but this shouldn’t be done in front of the said people or become something everyone is compulsive about. Your lesson today involves letting go and accepting some limits.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are going to dwell between your actual self and the image you want to portray in the office or in your social circle.

This will probably turn into quite an emotional battle inside yourself but it is important not to let it kidnap good heaps of your day or even worse, prevent you from actually living nice moments in the company of those that care about you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You need to allow yourself a bit of time to breath in between all the busy tasks and meetings of today. This might also mean accepting that invitation for lunch or mingle during the breaks with your colleagues.

You will be surprised by how many things you can find just in one day if you keep your ears open and not act all isolated.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The current disposition is demanding a lot of profoundness from you, not only as an image for the important people you are meeting with but in general, in respect to your life.

You tend to overcome any tendencies towards play and being childish but at the same time you seem to go in the other extreme and not find it easier to relax anymore.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

When it comes to the financial side of your life, you have enough reasons to be happy and probably enough savings or at least you are in the position to start doing so.

This also promotes you to be more careful about what you are spending. However, a bit of indulging won’t do you harm for now and then and you need to be aware it’s not such a big deal.

Spell For Monday – Mirror Glamour Spell to Change Your Appearance

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Mirror Glamour Spell to Change Your Appearance

Best performed: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the Waxing or Full Moon

Spell Ingredients

1 Small Mirror, best if decorated with a silver frame or handle

1 Palo Santo Stick

1 Red Candle, to add power to the spell

1 Rose Quartz, plus more to decorate

Micellar Water

Cotton ball or cotton pad

Any Jewelry or makeup you plan to wear

Spell Directions

  1. Cleanse: Use the Palo Santo to cleanse your sacred space and all items for this glamour ritual! (PSST: This spell can be done anywhere, your vanity, your bathroom, or in your magickal space.)
  2. Cast: Cast your magickal circle to seal in the energies of your sacred space.
  3. Decorate: Decorate your space with your mirror and extra rose quartz. (You can place crystals in places that feel right on your altar/counter OR you can create a beauty illusion crystal grid.)
  4. Prep/Create Glamour Potion: Add one rose quartz to your micellar water. Say: “Pasithea, Aphrodite, see my wishes shine through brightly.”
  5. The Spell: Hold the mirror in your recessive hand, the hand that receives.
    1. Look at your face, specifically at the part that you want to change. Say: “My face (or specific part of you) seen only to me. I create the canvas for others to see.”
    2. Still looking at your face, dip your cotton into the micellar water. Enchant the cotton by saying: “Now a canvas, I wipe it clean, Only what I visualize shall be seen.”
    3. Begin wiping the Micellar Glamour Potion over your full face, being sure to pay special attention to the the area you want to change. As you wipe, allow your vision to go cloudy, like you would when scrying in a black mirror.
    4. Look into the mirror and see exactly what you want others to see. Be sure to see the rest of your face in tact as well. (I usually go for a folded eyelid flap above my eyes.)
    5. Once you’re satisfied with your visualization, say, “What I see will be seen by all, until I let my glamour fall. And it harm none, so mote it be.”
  6. Close your circle: Place the mirror down, thank Aprhodite and Pasithea and release your circle.
  7. Repeat: Glamours take multiple and repetitive visualizations and energy to keep up. So everytime you pass a mirror, visualize your glamour. People who don’t know you well will see your glamour, and over time, close friends will notice your glamour, and after a long time, the glamour becomes physical.

November 18, 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for November 18th, 2024 is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 16.09 days old and 94.9% illuminated with a tilt of -65.351°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 369,416.99 km and the moon sign is Gemini.

The Moon phase for November 18th, 2024 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

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

Phase Details

Phase: Waning Gibbous

Moon age: 16.09 days

Moon illumination: 94.9%

Moon tilt: -65.351°

Moon angle: 0.54

Moon distance: 369,416.99 km

Moon sign: Gemini
