Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, September 13th

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

The Solar Eclipse that occurs early today heralds a period when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated, dear Aries. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. Circumstances around you can force these matters. Recognizing your personal limitations in terms of just how much you can give to others and just how much compassion and understanding you can show is essential now. It’s time to structure your life. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful. Over the coming weeks, it’s time to take charge of your health, self-care initiatives, and work. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to a difficult work situation or job, then the matter may be forced now. This is also a favorable cycle in which to set up a home office or to organize the home. The urge to sort out little problems, iron out flaws, and eliminate waste or excess is strong, so use this extra energy boost to clear up the clutter.

Taurus

Taurus

This morning’s Solar Eclipse occurs in your sector of romance, creative self-expression, recreation, children, and hobbies, dear Taurus. Events occurring now and in the coming weeks set you up for new beginnings in one or more of these areas of life. Romantic inclinations are highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others in the coming weeks, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel bolder than usual. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to people or projects that have been keeping you from expressing your true self, this is a time for making important changes. You are likely to attract positive attention from others, especially romantically speaking, but this can also happen on a creative level. You may be starting a new hobby or picking up a current one. Creative writing is favored now, and for some, children can be in stronger focus. There might also be a focus on fun and entertainment within the home environment. Communication becomes very important with loved ones, but it’s also important that today and tomorrow you listen closely to your intuition.

Gemini

Gemini

The Solar Eclipse that occurs early today clears the way for new beginnings, dear Gemini, but it might mean letting something go, particularly a situation that has been holding you back. The weeks ahead are a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, as well as issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. This is due to the fact that this eclipse occurs the bottom of your solar chart, and it’s a cosmic nudge to fill the inner “well”, find your roots, and learn your worth. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is likely now. The coming weeks are ideal for making long-range plans for the future, for any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities. There can be some drama on the domestic front, but this ideally leads to a fresh perspective or new beginning. Family life can be animated today, but this energy might play out in your inner world, with vivid memories, and important discoveries – even breakthroughs. You may be facing up to something that requires attention – a neglected area of your life that now seems quite important to revisit. This can also be a a time of heightened feelings about your income or personal possessions. A Mercury-Neptune connection today really helps you to open up your mind and use your imagination.

Cancer

Cancer

The Solar Eclipse that occurs early into the day launches a favorable cycle in which to learn something new, make new contacts, and find new ways of communicating, dear Cancer. In the coming weeks and even months, you are likely to find new opportunities for learning and communicating or new avenues for self-expression. In some cases, this is about getting around. This might be prompted by an event that forces the issue. You feel more at ease in social situations, and more in charge of the details of daily life, as well as more effective at developing mental rapport with others. It’s a time when you will be especially aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. The weeks ahead are excellent for taking care of daily tasks with increased and renewed energy, although you could be feeling overwhelmed initially. New modes of transportation could also open up to you. A shake-up or some level of drama can occur now that motivates you to let go of outdated conditions, things, and situations, and this clears the way for new beginnings. Unusual or unexpected events can surround your siblings and neighbors, or learning endeavors. News can come that steers you in a new direction. You might suddenly want to take a course or begin a new project. Good energy is with you for communicating your ideas and feelings – personal influence and powers of persuasion are especially strong. Many Cancers feel the energy of an eclipse on a physical level. Today, take in, feel, and observe.

Leo

Leo

A Solar Eclipse occurs early into the day, dear Leo, and while eclipses tend to stir up activity, considering the last New Moon was in your sign, overall this will be a calmer, less visible period for you. Nevertheless, important decisions may be required of you in the next few weeks, particularly revolving around personal finances and business. There is heightened sensitivity to your physical environment. Circumstances are such that you may be starting fresh with finances or in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. You might also be discovering ways to increase your income or your earning potential. It is also a wonderful time for earthy, tactile, and comforting activities that help you to feel more grounded and connected. If you have been holding on too tightly to a lifestyle or financial habits that haven’t been serving you well, this is a time when circumstances might force the matter. New beginnings are in order! However, today there can be some disorienting feelings and you are symbolically still in the dark, so that you should take in and observe before taking action.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

The Solar Eclipse that occurs early into the day is in your sign, dear Virgo, and it helps pave the way towards big personal changes in the coming weeks and even months. This is a time for reinventing yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a powerful impression on others. Circumstances can prompt a rethinking of your general attitude towards new beginnings, bravery, your role as a leader, your independence, and the ways you instinctively defend yourself. This is a time when you can be braver and enjoy new experiences. There can be a tendency to dig in your heels and display your independence now, which may be necessary for personal growth, but care should be taken to stay true to yourself in the process. Get in touch with what you truly want, envision it, and go for it, but wait for the dust to settle. However, for some, there can be some decreased initial energy, and it’s important to take the time to rest up if this is the case. You’ll know more about what changes to make as you go forward.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

You are beginning a cycle that focuses on replenishment and rest, dear Libra, although you’ve been feeling some of this energy already in recent weeks. The Solar Eclipse that occurs very early today launches a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual or emotional batteries. Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of others’ needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find emotional peace of mind is marked. You may be feeling like you’ve done the rounds, so to speak, and need more time to yourself, or with yourself! If you’ve been neglecting your psychic, spiritual, or emotional needs, then circumstances can force you to pay attention to your inner world now. Your imagination and dreaming mind are very rich and active now, and it’s important to nurture these things. There can be a flooding of energies today which can be a little disorienting, but going forward, you’ll get a stronger sense of what changes need to be made. If you require more solitude, then you’ll find ways to get it. If there have been toxic connections to your past, then you’ll be figuring out how to break ties. This can also be an important time for discovering emotions about your career, public standing, and reputation.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

There is a Solar Eclipse that occurs early today, dear Scorpio, that places strong focus on making contacts and reaching out to others in both a social and professional sense over the coming weeks and even months. Events and circumstances are such that they serve to clear the path for new beginnings, particularly related to how you fit in with friends and the community. You become more acutely aware of your position in life within the context of the group, rather than through self-centered focus. Goals that involve networking, making connections with others, joining or strengthening ties in a group project/activity, and nurturing good will are the focus during this cycle that begins today. Some level of drama may be present now, as it serves to shake up your social life in order to pave the way for important changes. Friends can enter or leave your life. Group or team work and activities can be in strong focus. Reflect on how you’d like to steer your life in the coming weeks, particularly in terms of your “place” in the social side of your life. This is a good time for formulating goals that have to do with future, long-term happiness and those that give you a stronger sense of mission or purpose, aligning yourself with important causes. For many of you, there can be emotional excitement and discoveries surrounding education, learning, publishing, and travel.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

The Solar Eclipse that occurs early today brings heightened awareness and sensitivity to your standing in society and your professional goals, dear Sagittarius. There can be feelings of excitement or uneasiness, depending on how you handle change, surrounding career, reputation, and life path matters now. Going forward, it will be a good time for developing new business plans and goals. A sense of renewal and re-invigoration with regards to your career goals is on the horizon. Changes in work, bosses, authority figures, reputation, or your own authority and influence can occur now and in the coming few months. It’s a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting as a professional and to society, with an eye on improvement. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. You can become strongly aware of the need to bring more structure or rules into your life, or you might decide you need to improve your performance and general practices in order to better follow certain rules. This is a phase in which you are especially busy with career and/or public responsibilities. Emotions are strong over financial and intimate matters for some of you. Drama or commotion stirred now paves the way to new approaches and new beginnings. You might have more courage now to ask for a raise or for a better position. Try not to be hasty, however, and avoid falling back on old, outdated behaviors – a fresh approach is required now.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

A Solar Eclipse occurring early today falls in the sector of your solar chart that rules your spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in your life, dear Capricorn. This can bring surprising events into your life that serve to jolt you out of your usual routine. You are making a break from the past in some manner, which will help clear the path for future growth and development. Avoid making important decisions just for now. Instead, take in and draw upon your intuition, which can serve you exceptionally well while the dust settles. However, a pleasing change of pace is in your near future. There may be opportunities to broaden your horizons through travel, education, or other form of adventure and life experience. There could be chances to publish or promote your work. Meeting important people through these experiences is possible. Transportation issues can also be in focus, with new avenues opening up for getting out and about. This eclipse might also bring some of you into contact with lawyers, professors, or publicists. It’s also a good time for exploring the world, or new perspectives, with a partner. Today is powerful for imagination, but new action should be delayed until emotions settle.

Aquarius

Aquarius

With a Solar Eclipse bringing powerful energy to your intimacy sector early today, dear Aquarius, this is a time of empowerment and discovery. You have a chance to see your own inner workings in new, important ways. If you’ve been too dependent on others, or the opposite, too proud to ask for help, then you’ll see and feel it now and you’ll want to make changes. The period ahead is good for focusing on issues of intimacy and sharing, as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others as well as your own internal motivations in the coming months. Intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to a relationship or a financial arrangement, then this is a time for coming to terms with the dependency. It’s a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened, but so are suspicions, so watch for this. Use this positive blast of energy to sort out financial support issues or emotional entanglements as you go forward. It’s also good for quitting bad habits, especially dependencies, or altering unhealthy ones. As well, if you’ve been going it alone, this can also be an important cycle for reaching out and finding the support you need.

Pisces

Pisces

With a Solar Eclipse bringing powerful energy to your partnership sector early today, dear Pisces, negotiations and one-to-one relationships are highlighted now and over the coming weeks. This is a time for beginning new relationships or re-defining existing ones in important ways. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. You become increasingly aware of the need for someone significant to rely upon, or for the need to balance and improve your relationships. The coming weeks and months are strong for making contacts and for making something public. If you have been holding on too tightly to a difficult relationship, then circumstances now will push the matter. Romance is well starred during this cycle with the Moon forcing attention to feelings about people in your life. When a Solar Eclipse happens, we are still symbolically in the dark, so that today and the next few are good for paying attention to news coming in and feelings emerging, but taking new action should wait at least a few days. Today’s Mercury-Neptune parallel stimulates your imagination and can create a greater need for expressing yourself.

Your Astrology Report for the Week of September 14th

Weekly Astrology: September 14 – 20, 2015

This is just the beginning…

The atmosphere this week may go quickly from high hopes to deflated dreams. Fortunately there’s a season and a reason for everything, and if you decide to accept the lesson that this shift in mindset brings, you can and will ultimately thrive. How? Read on…

Thursday, September 17: Jupiter opposite Neptune; Saturn enters Sagittarius; Mercury Retrograde in Libra

Everything happens on Thursday. First, Jupiter will oppose Neptune, casting a spell of unrealistic idealism around you. For a brief moment (most likely earlier in the week) you may initially feel as if you can simply wave a magic wand and — POOF! — your wish will be granted. Not so fast!

Also on Thursday, a bigger and much more significant cycle begins, pulling you in a much weightier direction. Saturn, the planet of restriction and limitation, but also discipline and focus, will enter the philosophical sign Sagittarius. He will remain here until December 2017. The greater meaning of Saturn in Sagittarius is for us to learn how to manage our expectations without completely losing our faith. In essence, it’s about learning how to provide a realistic structure around our beliefs — to define them and then to follow through with sticking to them. You may begin to think that dreams are for fools and fairytales for suckers around this time and if so, your greatest challenge is to figure out a way to grow up and gain a sense of maturity without losing hope.

Mercury will also turn retrograde in partnership Libra on Thursday, casting a shadow of confusion in all communication-related endeavors until October 9. Have conversations, but avoid making any final negotiations or commitments until later next month. If you do, you might wind up feeling that at some point what you agreed to simply isn’t fair.

The More You Know….


Moon & Witch Comments & Graphics

Lunar Myth #1:

The Moon changes size. The Inuit people that live in Greenland named their Moon god Anningan. According to his story, Annigan chases his sister Malina, the Sun goddess, around the sky. This tiring work, paired with a lack of food, causes Annigan to get much thinner. This myth was an attempt to explain the phases of the moon as it recedes from a full moon to a crescent.

 

Moon Phase Info

 

Your Weekly LightBlast: Knowing When

Weekly LightBlast: Knowing When

Time is your ally. It is merely a marker point for you to observe, adjust and choose direction. Its flow is a response to your inner world and an outer observable fact. It flows along like a wave in the ocean, only part of its movement visible to the naked eye. With a wave, you see the effect of the spiraling movement creating a push/pull. It is the same with Time. It has the effect of pushing and pulling you into focus, movement, rest and choice.

Knowing When is a valuable asset as you create your world. When it is time to rest can be an obvious one for sleep. But, for example, when is it time to rest your focus on a subject of desired creation? You have been taught that action creates, and indeed it does. You are now learning the action of your inner world. Focusing or directing your thoughts and feelings is part of that invisible equation. Rest or allowing is the other action step of that invisible, inner equation of creation. Sometimes you must rest your focus, your directing of life, and allow the ebb and flow of information to push or pull you in a new direction.

Knowing When requires some attention to the details that life is showing you. Life will show you in many ways; through thoughts and feelings, discussion with another, media outlets that you read, hear or see. You are in constant communication with life. Are you listening to it?

Listening is a passive force, like Love. Its benefit is in the invisible realm. It begins creating in the powerful, foundational realm. Are you listening to life, to yourself, to others? What depth of information are you hearing and taking within so that you may choose with new information? Relax more, listen more and you will hear Life speaking to you. Listen more through the ears of Love rather than resistance. Love is where new information resides.

As we sit to Blast Knowing When, we are flowing easily with the tides of change, allowing life to assist our direction. We are open to new information, even if Time is testing our strength to await new form. We are listening with patience, peace and an openness to the perfection of life converging in our hearts. We are well with resting, allowing and changing direction, for the journey of action has many forms. We are peaceful in the knowing of our ally in Time, understanding that our connection with Life is deeper than the visible waves flowing. Blast on!

The Witches Magick for the 13th Day of the Barley Moon – Dream Creation Spell

 


Fantasy Comments & Graphics

Dream Creation Spell

 

Some innovative approaches to dreams include those of Frederic “Fritz” Perls, founder of Gestalt therapy, who felt that every character and object in a dream represents some facet of the dream’s life, and Medard Boss, who saw the dream as a mirror or reflection in a metaphorical sense of what is happening in the dreamer’s life.

After dark, think about a recent dream that sticks in your mind. Now create something from that dream. Allow it to inspire a creation such as a collage, painting, poem, song, woodworking, sewing project, flower garden, dances, new business, a dream vacation, and so forth. All of these creative representations of your dreams are empowering ways of connecting with your dream self. Bless your dream creation by saying:

 

Goddess and God, please bless my dream creation
May your divine blessings and guidance empower me
So be it! Blessed be!

WOTC Extra – Beliefs and Practices of Modern-day Witches


Fantasy Comments & Graphics

Beliefs and Practices of Modern-day Witches

Modern-day witches have an extensive range of beliefs and practices. On the other hand, there are distinct principles, which came from Gardnerian Wicca although traditional witchcraft beliefs and practices are diverse.

Some of the beliefs of modern-day witches include:
– Developing natural gifts for occult magic or divination
– The Goddess is the focus of worship
– Everyone has a spiritual path to follow
– Everyone is innately divine
– Natural or divine forces are called forth in rituals
– The earth and nature are sacred representations of the Goddess
-Rituals are associated with the moon phases and the seasons
– Visualization, meditation, invocation, burning candles and chanting reinforce the religion’s core belief

More often than not, these beliefs and practices are combined with doctrines from other groups such as mystical traditions, ancient Egyptian spirituality, Native American spiritual practices, Celtic/ Norse paganism, Eastern Shamanism, and Greek and Roman goddess worship. Just like Wicca, these groups also have significant reverence in nature and peace. They likewise believe that human beings will always be at peace when they are in harmony with nature.

Modern-day witches also make use of divination methods and tools including astrology, tarot cards, the I Ching, candle magick, psychic readings, runes, and other mystical practices, which are encouraged by most witchcraft covens.

Wiccans believe the serpent as a symbol of female spiritual power and eternal life. This aspect makes Wicca comparable to Hinduism as the followers of the latter also practice meditation as a way of enlightenment from the power referred to as the serpent power.

True witches also make use of other symbols including the Ankh, which is an Egyptian cross-like symbol associated with (the goddess) Isis worship; pentagram and pentacle, which is a five-pointed star used for spells, protection, and conjuring among others; crystals, which are believed to have spiritual and healing properties; and the crescent moon, which is considered as a symbol of the Goddess.

On the other hand, true witches do not believe in forgiveness since that they do not believe in sin. When there is no sin, there is no need for forgiveness. In the same way, witches do not believe in salvation given that there is nothing to be redeemed from.

When it comes to matters of afterlife, different covens and witchcraft groups vary in their positions. In general witches do not have a concept of heaven or hell. Most witches believe in endless reincarnation and the law of karma. These witches believe that reincarnation will occur incessantly until an individual is enlightened sufficiently to move on to another kind of existence.

The beliefs of true witches and Wiccans are in agreement with most humanist religions, which are common in many modern societies. Witches and Wiccans believe they are free to do anything as long as their action do not oppose the higher power. They disagree with having an absolute truth. Furthermore, witches and Wiccans are insulted when they are told of the existence of evil on Earth and that everyone commits sins.

Let’s Talk Witch – Modern-day Witches

 

Based on tradition, there are more male witches (yes, witches not warlocks) than females in some societies. Today, however, females dominate Witchcraft and Wicca, although the religion is not only for women.

Based on the studies, modern witches began to emerge through Gerald Gardner, and English archaeologist with a broad background in the Occult. He learned the secrets of the Malaysian magical knife while he lived in Southeast Asia. He then became a nudist and a Mason. When he returned to England in 1939, he became a member of the Corona Fellowship of Rosicrucians. He met Dorothy Clutterbuck, who introduced him to witchcraft.

Gardner wrote the book, “Witchcraft Today,” which implied that he did not come across a pre-existing coven. In addition, Gardner also wrote a paper that was published in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. He disclosed that he acquired his magical resources and some Western magical texts in Asia. In his paper, Gardner also disclosed that he created a new religion, which is primarily focused on the worship of the Mother Goddess.
From there, the focus of modern witchcraft is on the worship of the Mother Goddess as initiated by Gardner. His beliefs and writings were significantly influenced by Freemasonry, Theosophy, ritual and sex magic, and other occult sources resulting in the emergence of modern-day Witchcraft or Wicca.

Celebrating 365 Days of Legends, Folklore and Spirituality for September 13 and 14 – All Souls’ Day/Festival of Jupiter Optimus Maximus


Fantasy Comments & Graphics

September 13 and 14

 

All Souls’ Day/Festival of Jupiter Optimus Maximus

All Souls’ Day in Egypt was a festive occasion. Held in honor of the Goddess Nephthys, Mistress of the Palace, it honored the spirits of the dead. There most certainly would have been a royal procession among the common people, followed by a public ritual and the Ceremony of Lighting the Fire. All the other activities would have taken place in the temple that was accessible only to the priesthood of Nephthys and the royal family.

Jupiter Optimus Maximus (“Jupiter Best and Greatest”) is the supreme Roman God. He was worshiped above all other Gods. The Ludi Romani games took place in September, with a special festival on September 13. The farmers’ harvested fields and orchards demanded little attention, the military campaigns paigns would be coming to a close with the soldiers coming home, and the populace was in a serious mood for “fun.” On the Ides of September 13, Jupiter received a sacrifice of a white ox in gratitude for an abundant harvest and successful battle. This would have been followed by notorious Coliseum games that somehow seem to eclipse the significant religious character of the Roman Empire.

The Wicca Book of Days for Sunday, September 13th – Complicated Kannaz

The Wicca Book of Days for Sunday, September 13th

 

Complicated Kannaz

The runic half-month assigned to Kannaz (which is also known as Kenaz, Kano or Cen) begins today, with its last day falling on September 27th. Exactly how this rune should be interpreted is uclear: runic scholars agree that it seems to suggest the idea of burning, but opinion is divided between the positive meaning of a flaming torch or the light of illumination and the negative connotation of a burning pain or fever, such as that induced by an ulcer, abscess, or infection. As Kano, this rune may furthermore point to the sacred vehicle associated with the Danish earth goddess Nerthus.

 

Magical Mandrake

If you can, procure some dried mandrake today. Sacred to Mercury, today’s planetary ruler, this emblem of the enchantress Circe is believed to contain the essence of magick itself, while its narcotic properties may be exploited by very skilled healers.

Daily Magickal Applications for Sunday, September 13th

The Latin term for Sunday, our first day of the week, is Dies Solis (“sun’s day”). In ancient Greek, it was called Hemera Heliou. In the Old English language, it was known as Sunnandaeg; in Middle English, Sonenday. All of these titles mean the same thing: the day of the sun.

 

What do you think of when you feel the sun shine down on you? What sorts of enchantments and energies do you think would be complementary to a day named after our closest star? Sunday brings those bright solar energies into your life and has the magickal correspondences of success, promotion, leadership, pride, light, generosity, warmth, fitness, and personal growth. Astrologically, the sun symbolizes the conscious self and rules the zodiac sign of Leo.

 

The charms and spells that would complement this magickal day of the sun are ones for personal achievements of any kind-such as if you are seeking fame and wealth, working for that much-deserved promotion at work, or being acknowledged for a job well done. Health issues, increasing personal power, or simply sticking to your diet and being proud of what you have accomplished all fall under the sun’s golden influence.

Those ambitious, successful spells and charms will be heightened by working on the day of the week that has the planetary influence of the sun. So light those sunny candles, wear some luminous colors, and break out the gold jewelry! Bake up some cinnamon rolls or low-fat cinnamon muffins for an enchanting family breakfast. Take an orange with you to eat at lunch today. Try using a little magickal aromatherapy and burn some cinnamon-scented incense to encourage success and wealth today. Make the talisman to keep your solar magick with you. Sprinkle some dried marigold petals around your house-or across the threshold-to pull triumph and protection toward you and your family.

Get outside and tip up your face to the sun. Take a walk outside, and soak up some sunshine! Acknowledge the power of Sunna or Helios as they blaze across the sky and bring courage and motivation into your life. Sit outside at sunrise on a Sunday morning and bask in its warm, rosy-golden glow Acknowledge Brigid as the inner, creative spark of imagination and inspiration. She can help these gifts burn brightly within your own soul. Use your imagination and create your own brand of witchery and magick. Here comes the sun, and it’s your turn to shine!

Sunday

 

Ruler: Sun

Colors: Gold or yellow

Power Hours: Sunrise and sunset.

Key Words: Love, happiness, health, wealth

It is easy to spot the ruler of this day by its name. Sunday is the day of the sun. Community work, volunteer services, exercise, outdoor sports, buying, selling, speculating, meeting people, anything involving groups, running fairs and raffles, growing crops and taking care of all health matters fall under the influence of the Sun. With all this activity and the brightness of the sun, it’s easy to see why the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

Michael is the primary angel of Sunday but each hour of this day also has it’s secondary angel. These angels are Michael (first hour), Anael (second hour), Raphael (third hour), Gabril (fourth hour), Cassiel (fifth hour), Sachiel (sixth hour), Samael (seventh hour), Michael (eighth hour), Anael (ninth hour), Raphael (tenth hour), Gabriel (eleventh hour), and Cassiel twelfth hour). Notice some of the angels do double duty this day.
On Sundays, (unless you are invoking a specific angelic energy) the hour of sunrise will be the most powerful time to work, especially if you want to infuse energy into your work. Sunset is the second best time and is favored when you need to calm down a situation. Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.
