New Moon In Virgo August

*NEW MOON* in VIRGO

★
*NEW MOON* in Virgo brings forth healing, calling for purification so love can flow through.
We are in an age of healing ourselves and our planet, and that means awakening our collective mindset to a vibrational and energetic understanding of our universe.
We are each called to task and it begins in our body.
Her body is our body. We are not separate from Her. 
Our task is to feel, work through and release all that blocks love from freely flowing through us.
We have so much collective grief and trauma that we carry in our root chakras and in our womb centers. 
As we work with loving awareness to release the fear, the rage and the grief, we will begin to feel the regeneration and flow of our Life Force as it activates our creative powers.
Virgo reminds us that through our Earthly embodiment, we become the Chalice.
She teaches us to ground into our Earth and offers her intuitive and discerning gifts to help us sort and map what is needed and what will serve the whole.
Her way is one of love, of caring and compassion for all living things.

Thursday’s Witchery

 

Thursday’s Witchery

Today is the day for prosperity work of all kinds. It can also be used for healing work, whether that is a physical healing of an illness or an emotional healing. Also remember that you have to follow up your healing work and prosperity magick and physical action.

I can’t tell you the number of times I have met new witches who complain to me that their prosperity spell or “I need a better job” spell did not work as they expected. They’ll ramble on and on about how much time and money they spent working their magick….but, alas, they had no glorious manifestation of wealth or fabulous job that suddenly dropped out of the sky and landed in their laps.

Then, when I gently ask them, “Did you enchant your resume or application when you filled it out? Did you do a little confidence-boosting spellwork when you went to apply for the job or went to the interview?” typically they give me a blank, confused stare.

Nine times out of ten, their response is, “You mean I have to go out and actually look for the job too?” Um, yes, my dear, you certainly do. Magick follows the path of least resistance, which means it’s going to manifest along the simplest, quickest route. Get out there and hit the pavement. See what you can find. Times are tough and competition for good jobs is fierce, so you need whatever edge you can get. For folks like us, we’re going to get the edge by using our magick and our spellcraft.

Thursdays have such a rich source of magick for us to draw upon that, honestly, the sky is the limit. This is the day associated with the gods of the sky and heavens, after all. Get to know these deities and add their wisdom and magick into your days

August 29th and 30th Love Horoscopes

Pisces today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

If you sense pressure intensifying in your emotional world, and it pushes you a direction that feels uncomfortable or unsuitable, then it’s important to make an effort to speak up and ensure your feelings are known. It’s possible that a lover or potential partner might believe you’re much more willing to follow their lead than you are. Focus instead on doing what suits you, even if it’s done briefly.

Pisces tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

You may feel that you could do without whatever tension or drama manifests with matters of the heart or a close connection at this time, but your creative problem-solving skills certainly won’t fail you. If a mistake or error of judgment played any part in what poses a problem, then there is something valuable to be learned from it. This can also lead to one or two new ideas to explore new and intriguing romantic relationship territory.

Capricorn today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

Your integrity could be enhanced at this time, encouraging you to feel strongly about reciprocating something in your emotional world or a special connection. Whoever has done you a good turn or been supportive recently could receive your unique brand of appreciation. It’s also possible that it might be you on the receiving end of a loving or thoughtful gesture of thanks. With so much mutual appreciation on offer, one special connection will undoubtedly be strengthened.

Capricorn tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

You could feel that one minute you believe much to be comfortable and manageable in your emotional world, but then feel there is plenty of scope for improvement. It would be in your best interest to think through any plans or decisions at this time, and equally important to be guided by your heart regarding what it wants. You could have a tricky or awkward decision to make shortly, and your heart could be integral to that process, too.

Sagittarius today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

It’s possible that a certain person has done more than catch your eye or pique your interest. A mild fascination could become intense, but in true Sagittarius style, you might need to dial back any tendency to pursue this person or explore romantic possibilities with too much gusto. Allow something between you to gain momentum gradually. Trust that the love gods have your back!

Sagittarius tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

It could be by receiving a quick and possibly subtle glimpse into the future of your emotional world or a special connection that takes certain needs or desires down a new trajectory. You’re right to believe that something connected with matters of the heart is evolving, regardless of your relationship status. If it’s closure you have wanted for some time, then that could also be on offer.

Scorpio today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

You could feel that you’re at the mercy of something you must accept, which is unlikely to be the case. It’s important that you don’t resign yourself to the fact that a romantic or relationship situation is fixed, immovable, or unchangeable. Give honest and thorough consideration to what you want to change or improve. You’re probably more in control of your love life destiny than you realize.

Scorpio tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

You probably won’t struggle to come up with interesting or possibly thrilling ideas to inject spice and spontaneity into your emotional world or a special connection. It could all start with you deciding to make yourself a tiny bit vulnerable by revealing one or two secrets or secret desires that encourages someone close to do the same. The more trust is enhanced both ways, the keener you and somebody could be to take a risk together.

Libra today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

An unexpected development in your emotional world could, initially, feel more frustrating than intriguing. You could also feel confident that it offers nothing in the way of passionate or magical potential, but don’t be too quick to dismiss what occurs out of the blue. You might only see the tip of a proverbial iceberg where an important or potentially pivotal step forward can be taken as a result of what arises unexpectedly. It would also be worth keeping an eye out for coincidences at this time because where love and romance are concerned, there might be more than meets the eye.

Libra tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

You could feel that a loved one or a love interest sets expectations that may be a bit too high for your liking in some way. Even if they feel extra ambitious or keen to invite a challenge in your connection, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re obliged to agree or take part. If your heart doesn’t support what is asked, suggested or proposed, then now is the time to speak up. Don’t wait until further down the line to do so.

Virgo today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

Your moral compass could be very active now and encourage you to do what you believe is “the right thing“ where matters of the heart are concerned. However, you could probably benefit more from ‘thinking less’ and ‘feeling more.’ Sometimes, love needs more than a sensible and pragmatic approach, and adopting a less cool or cold attitude could bring something truly heartwarming.

Virgo tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

It could be a loved one or a love interest who steps up to the plate or comes forward to offer assistance where it’s needed at this time. This won’t go unnoticed or unappreciated by you, either. It could also be the fact that you’re willing to accept help or support that means much to the object of your affections. If you can take this two-way “scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours“ arrangement to another level, then even better.

Leo today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

Your attentive qualities could be noticeably stronger and possibly cause you to believe a loved one or a love interest needs the levels of attention and fuss you’re keen to offer. However, it’s possible that applying too much, too soon could backfire. Perhaps, the most caring and supportive gesture you can provide involves giving the object of your affections space and ensuring they know you’re there for them. Anything more could feel smothering at this time.

Leo tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

You could feel finely tuned to the subtleties of your emotional world or a love relationship at this time. It could be by focusing on the smaller or more immediate picture of what is occurring that you feel more inspired to take things slowly, or maybe even savor every moment. Appreciating what’s unfolding gradually puts you in the driver’s seat where matters of the heart are concerned but don’t rush a process that is unfolding sweetly on its own.

Cancer today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

Although you could feel a noticeable sense of pressure to convey what’s on your mind or release concealed feelings, you don’t necessarily have to succumb to the sense of urgency that you might believe is necessary to do so. Releasing an emotional avalanche isn’t advisable. Try instead to choose your moment and make clear, slowly and carefully, whatever you want and need someone special to know. There really is no time like the present to do so.

Cancer tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

You could excel at turning on the charm at this time, and there is nothing contrived about your ability to do so. You bring a delightful, imaginative vibe to love and romance that can put a loved one or potential partner at ease and bring warmth where it is needed. It’s your unique brand of kindness and compassion that can bring more than a ray of sunshine to the world of someone close now.

Gemini today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

It could be the way a certain person takes the initiative that you stand to learn something valuable from whatever unique or previously untried experience they have in mind. Whether you’re single or attached, there is much passionate potential in allowing yourself to be taken to unexplored territory, mentally, physically, or both! Prepared to embrace the spirit of partnership – and possibly in a way you’ve not done before.

Gemini tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

Boosting the morale of a loved one or love interest might require effort on your part and in a very subtle way, but you can do it. Keeping conversations lighthearted and straightforward would be helpful and so too would asking their opinion about something close to your heart. The more you can shift the focus to collaborating; the more likely they’ll connect in a way you want them to,

Taurus today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

If you felt frustrated with a need to accept restrictions or apply patience in your emotional world, then coming events could reassure you that much connected with matters of the heart is about to become more buoyant and lighthearted. If it has been some time since you allowed your romantic qualities to emerge, then sweeping someone off their feet is far from impossible, regardless of your relationship status!

Taurus tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

An opportunity to relax can provide necessary calmness and help bring delightful progress in your emotional world now. Whether you and a loved one or love interest select a setting or an environment you can escape together to or one that allows both of you to be your authentic selves within, a bond can be strengthened b giving each other some undivided attention.

Aries today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

If you sense resistance might be futile where expressing thoughts or feelings are concerned, then don’t succumb to any need to conceal or suppress them. There’s much to be gained by dialing back any inclination to do so, and one positive and potentially pivotal development awaits if you allow yourself to release what’s on your mind or in your heart. Emotions are likely to emerge eventually, so seize the chance to do so now.

Aries tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

Introducing a change to your emotional world could require you to be imaginative and avoid what is steeped deeply in routine. This might involve the pursuit of what appears to be a nonsensical idea, but the possibility for fun and laughter could be too strong to ignore. A shared keenness to try whatever-it-is again could ensure you and a loved one or love interest make a special date to re[eat it in the future.

Aquarius today’s love horoscope:

Thursday 29th of August 2019

Adopting an “all or nothing“ attitude toward matters of the heart might have many romantic ideas and qualities attached. However, wherever possible, avoid going over the top extravagantly. You and a loved one, or potential partner could get carried away with affectionate gestures that might be more material-based or excessive in other ways. Try to keep impulsiveness in check – and the credit cards hidden! You can’t overindulge with enjoying each other’s company.

Aquarius tomorrow love horoscope:

Friday 30th of August 2019

There could be something comfortable about what feels routine-like in your emotional world or a special connection now. Just because you have a spontaneous side doesn’t mean you’re constantly determined to connect with it. Taking advantage of calmness on offer helps you to reflect on certain issues or come up with new ideas that you and a loved one can explore and pursue. Calling time out can be beneficial now.

Friends and family of this zodiac birthday are few and far in between. Loyal are the ones who you do devote your time. Usually, this Virgo’s friends have the same likes or dislike so you may have even more to talk about or debate. However, it is likely an amusing and informative conversation.

The August 29 birthday personality may lack the confidence to face the problems of the past. This can make current and future relationships difficult. This could be why you only have a few close friends. Nonetheless, your friends are lucky to have a devoted friend such as you. You will go out of your way to help people in need.

What your birthday also says about you is that love for you can be affected by negative thoughts and feelings just as your body can change because of it. In general, those with a birthday today are likely to use holistic health care as an option for primary health care needs.

Good Wednesday Sisters, Brothers, and Guests

I am off to a very late start today so I will wait to do divination until tomorrow when I can get it posted early in the morning for you.

So I offer you a video to watch some of you may like it and some of you may not. I believe though it is good to be aware of the information that is available out in cyberland about Witchcraft.

Modern Witchcraft and Pagan Spirituality

Can We Help You to Teach Your Children and/or Your Descendants About The Craft?

One of Coven Life’s Elders thought, and I agree, that we should post a survey to help us help you to teach your children about The Craft. If you do not want to put your answers in a comment below please email them to covenlifescoven@gmail.com, please include your child’s age so we can post information by age groups. This whole idea of helping you to help your children learn is in the planning stages any ideas and/or suggestions to make it how you think will help our descendants to learn are very welcomed.

1. As pagan parents, would you like to see children’s activities posted on WOTC?
2. What age groups would you recommend activities for?
3 – 4 years old (mostly coloring pages of the different Sabbats with a small paragraph on what the Sabbat is for)
5 – 6 years old (Coloring pages of the Sabbats and Moon Phases with a small paragraph in wording they can read themselves to bring about a dialogue about what they are learning)
7-10 years old (Printable Information delving deeper into Moon phases. Brief introduction to Sabbat and Esbat rituals)
11-14 years old (Information for considering following a Pagan path building on what they would learned above)
15 – 18 years old (Introductory information on what it means to follow the Old Ways of The Craft including an introduction to Gods, Goddesses, Spellwork, Rituals. The spell work and.or rituals would be geared for the young adult to help their parent, grandparent, or care taker to prepare a spell and how to set up an altar if wanted and what preparation goes into writing and doing a ritual.)
This is a way that a child or young adult can build an understanding of the magickal and spiritual sides of witchcraft/ It will also help prepare them to become a novice in our coven or just to have the knowledge to work better with the adults that are solitary practitioner.
3. What topics would you like to see addressed?
4. What type of activities?
5. What other suggestions would you have for children’s and young adult’s activities ?
Remember you can answer the questions in the comments or email your answers to covenlifescoven@gmail.com. If you have any questions or ideas about this project please ask or share your idea. We are willing to start any child or young adult of any age so please do not think your child would have to start as a preschooler. There is no charge as you will be able to use what we post to teach your child the way you follow The Craft. We are here just to answer questions or help in anyway we can. We will be posting things for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres at the appropriate times for Sabbats.

Life is fragile

The precipice of life is so fragile.
Life is also so very very short
The choice of who lives and who dies
These choices are often beaten about
A right turn here
A wrong one there
A life could be saved
maybe a few will care
To be on that cliff
To sit on the edge
To look at the trees
Fallen from the edge
Most of the trees are dead
And this makes you wonder
How was the decision made
Of which would be thrown down
Some trees will live
And some trees will die
Is it just the trees
Or is it people who strive
The creek made a turn
The erosion was sudden
The place that I sit
is soon to be flood in
But I sit on the edge
And I ponder the day
Did I make all the right decisions
Or did I use my day to betray
When I die I will become dust
And return to the earth
But my spirit will travel
For there will be a rebirth
Will the path be difficult
Or will it be easy
Will the way be made simple
Or will it make u queasy
I look at the water
And I think and I pine
How can I get down there
And what would I find
The rapids and eddies
The whirlpools and ponds
They are all formed by erosion
Before the dirt was moved on
I wonder what they have seen
I wonder where they will go
Have they ever made a wrong turn
And how would they ever know
Will they make it all the way down stream
Will they continue to move
Or will they evaporate
And come down anew
Sometimes I wish I was water
No feelings for yesterday
Just flowing and turning
In so many different ways
No choices to make
no decisions to regret
No worries about
No one to have left
It is a dark and grey day
The wind is so cold
The water looks sparkling
In its ever changing mold
Who knows of the future
We can only study the past
The water will continue
To flow along this path
To find our valley
To find our stream
To find our happiness
Is what we all dream
Nature is beautiful
she makes this world a wonder
We all need to love her
Or we will make a blunder
She is all that we have
She is all that we need
to the gods and the goddess
We must all believe
I have always found my peace
Living within nature
The trees and the water
Are all here to be nurtured

August 28th N. H. Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions

Current Moon Phase

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2019

Tommorow the Moon will be in a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this phase the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Took a Mental Floss Day

Our Southern Hemisphere readers I apologize for not getting the current Moon phase and planetary positions plus August 28th Birthday Horoscope up. I needed a day desperately to myself to nurture my mind, heart, and Spirit. I will return to regular and new posts tomorrow.

Did I miss doing August 26th posts? I get confused sometimes with covering all of Mother Earth’s hemispheres and posting on 2 websites.

Until tomorrow blessed be sisters, Brothers, and Guests

Moon’s Phase Northern vs Southern Hemispheres

I need to apologize my error in posting the same information for the Southern Hemisphere as I do for th Northern Hemisphere.

The phases of the Moon are opposite of each other. For example here in the Northern Hemisphere we have a Waxing Crescent while the Southern Hemisphere has a Waning Crescent Moon. So the information I have been posting as the ” S. H. Current Moon Phase” has been wrong.

I am hoping the website we have been using moongiant.com will let me switch from Northern to Southern to get not only the Moon phase but all the details also.

So my dear Southern Hemisphere readers if you don’t see your current Moon phase for a couple days it is because I am looking for a website that shows the correct current moon phase and details for you.

If anyone knows of a website that covers what is needed to post an accurate current moon phase please email me the link at LadyBeltane@aol.com Thank you for your help with this little project!

August 24th S. H. Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions

SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 2019

On this day the Moon will be in a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this phase the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else you know was on the date the person was born.
I was hoping to find another website that contained all this planetary information but have been unable to. As you will read from the website’s itself the timing is still off unfortunately they do not say whether the clock that is 15-20 off is fast or slow. I have written to them to find out which it is but have not received an answer yet. Please tell me if you still want me to post this information that is probably wrong or not post it until they get the timing right. Thank you!

Please note: We are aware that the time listed below may be off by 15-20 minutes. This is due to a problem with the clock on our hosting company’s web server. We have contacted them several times, but they have yet to fix this issue. We are in the process of moving to a new hosting company, and we appreciate your patience during this time. We apologize sincerely for any inconvenience.

A Thought for Today

​

I pulled this from an older post because it fits with my post of yesterday.

We can help the most by showing society we are peaceful, loving people just like everyone should be.

We can help be leading by example living in harmony with Mother Earth and doing all we can to help her heal. Such as recycling anything we use that has that option, pick up others track including cigarette butts when out for a walk or hiking. Use earth friendly laundry soap, liquid fabric softener, dish soap, body soap (bar or gel), shampoo, paper products made at least in part with recycled paper.

We can help by saying hi or just smiling at people We walk pass or inter act with.

Please share your thoughts or things you already do to live in better harmony with all living things. Especially the talking humans who can really get under your skin.
