Merry Meet Sisters and Brothers

I hope everyone is doing well and it is a beautiful day. Here it is raining and chilly again. I also found out I have Epstein-Barr virus which is the adult version of mononucleosis. Come to find out with a little help from Google that 90 – 95 % of all adults are carriers but in most people, it stays dormant all their lives but if it manifests once (I was 34) you are more at risk for it doing it again lucky me. As usual with a virus, the doctor tells you to rest as much as possible and drink plenty of fluids, this one is no different. My question to the doctors is, “If I am supposed to be resting a lot and drinking a lot doesn’t one kind of cancel the other one out with trips to the bathroom?” So if you think of it when saying your “prayers” could you ask for a fast recovery for me, please?

Posting for the day might start out later and there might be days that I miss because I am just too tired to do the looking up information, copy, paste it, and all the other steps that go with every single post that WOTC does now and did in the past. Something you may not realize is that common everyday posts each take a minimum of about 20 minutes to do and the extra posts usually even longer than that. In other words to bring you the things you enjoy daily and an extra or two took the old WOTC Staff and by myself upwards to 3 hours to get done.

OK so anyway I will try to get up the common posts like Moon Phase, Planetary Positions, and Horoscopes. But the Horoscopes will be done with the Northern and Southern Hemispheres together and will cover 3 days at a time for the Today’s Your Birthday which I will separate from the Love and Daily Horoscopes. Dear Readers of the Nothern Hemisphere horoscopes if I do not get the new days horoscopes up early you can go read the Southern Hemisphere’s horoscope post that went up the day before because, ok stick with me here a teeny bit complicated, their tomorrow is our today. So the horoscope for their yesterday June 20th is our horoscope today for June 20th. It would just be so much easier to have a TARDIS to take us to the date we want to read….Right? lol

May those of you in the North have a beautiful day with the Sun shining, nice temperatures, and a gentle breeze. If you are in the Midwest in what I would swear is a monsoon season, LOL, this year I hope you can curl up with a good book and a cup or 2 of your favorite tea or coffee. If you have young ones home from school on Summer break I will post a few seasonal appropriate printable pictures they could have fun coloring.

May those of you in the South also have a beautiful day, with it not being too chilly or gloomy. As Winter is coming your way I hope you have a good supply of books or yarn or paints or whatever you need for the hobby or hobbies you enjoy. I will post some seasonal appropriate printable coloring sheets for you young one too.

Since I fell asleep on my keyboard I am going back to bed. Sorry no new Moon, Planet, or Horoscope posts until tomorrow.

Until we merry meet again Blessed be.

Good Spellbind Saturday Everyone

Welcome to a day of the birds sing under slightly clouday skies or Ihope where you live the day is blessed with blue skies and Ra shinning down upon you.. Or welcome to a beautiful evening that hopefully you have a clear sky to see Luna and the staars in all their wonderst beauty.

I apologize for not getting the regular daily posts up yesterday but we are already having a horrible allergy season in Illinois and the allergins are kicking butt but not taking names…lol.

Than when I went to post this morning thhis site somehow got switch to the “Private” setting instead of “Public.” I have a good idea who is messing around with this website because this isn’t the first abnormality I have found this week. I just have to figure out how, the unfriendly witch is doing it. I guess it’s time to put on my thinking cap.

As anyone with allergies and/or sinus problems can understand it feels like my head weights about 50 pounds, and not from ego, and hurts more when we sit up. So I am going to try to do your Moon phaase, current planetary positions, and hopefully the birthday and general horoscopes up fo both hemispheres for today and tomorrow.

Ok, on with my experiment. Sorry it took so long to start getting the daily posts up something came up I had to deal with.

May your blessings be plentiful and your troublems be minimal.

Merry Monday

Sorry, I have to use my tablet because my laptop is down. As much as I would like to put up horoscopes today I can’t get my tablet and me sync with copying long pages. I’ll work on figuring out what to do and have them IP tomorrow (fingers crossed). Before any asks…I did try select all but so much useless stuff came plus I couldn’t delete some of the ads from other websites.

My day started out good talking with Lady A. Then (yucky) paperwork I couldn’t put off any longer but that was fine because then my fur girls and I went outback. We spent sometime enjoying a beautiful, sunny sky at just the right temperature. Did my dishes and about 9:30 CT turned on my computer.

Well after turning it on it was no longer that good of a morning. I turned on my laptop to start the daily posts. It was taking it a long time to boot up. I thought I had to many programs attached to the start up menu but that wasn’t the problem. After about 3 minutes I started seeing little boxes pop up for a total, I think, of 6 telling different programs had crashed. So it isnot now sitting on my desk shut off until I can have my youngest look at it for me. The funny, and not the laughing kind, was when I was talking to Lady A. I joked I was having problems with it (I really have been having trouble with it) and should ship it to her to fix for me. Guess the last laugh is on me for today. Luckily I printed out the suggestions she gave me for posting on this great website, so posts may go up slower because I am using my tablet and can only use 1 finger or stylus to type with but I will still get as many up as I can each day. I don’t want you missing your daily horoscopes, Moon phase, planetary positions and hopefully divination stuff, etc just because I’m a 1 finger typed for now. If you see anyof major typos I apologize in advance. My tablet for whatever reason will sometimes attach extra letters or another word on to the end of the word I typed in. I do proof read but don’t always catch the typos.

The fantastic thing about using my tablet instead of laptop is it is easier to post while sitting outside on this beautiful day.

If saged myself and centered so now it’s time to get on with posting for today.

Good Early Monday Morning Brothers & Sisters of the Craft!

I hope everyone is doing fine and enjoying their Monday so far. I know several of you have asked about my health and since it is no longer a secret, I decided I might as well be the one to tell you. As most of you know I went back to work, HA! funny, funny! I started out liking the job, then after a few weeks, I grew to absolutely hate it. I prayed and prayed for a graceful way out of leaving the job. Well, all I can say is be careful, very careful what you wish for, I was bitten by a water moccasin(in case you don’t know, they are a very deadly snake) while goofing off on a riding lawn mower. I really wasn’t goofing off, I was trying to mow the marsh. We have had so much rain the grass was up to my knees in parts, seriously. I went through a patch of it and the next thing I knew, I saw a brown flash up on the lawnmower deck and this sudden pain in my ankle. It dawned on me what had happened and by the time I got back to the cabin, I could hardly move that leg. Lord M picked me up and took me to the hospital. By the time we got to the hospital, I couldn’t feel both legs and I could feel my stomach going numb as well. Funny, the first thing they do when you go in the hospital for a snake bite is to take a magic marker and draw around the bite. They say they want to know what shape it is (preferably what state it is in the shape of).  It doesn’t matter that you can’t breathe and gasping for air, oh no, let’s get that shape drawn. Anyway, after spending a few days in the hospital I was released and sent home. I was given snake venom, antibiotics and a saline drip and that was it.

After I returned home, I was to see my regular doctor. We went and Lord M got pissed. My ankle was black as the ace of spades and gushing greenish pus from it. Lord M demanded the doctor do something and she said just to stay on the antibiotics and it would get better. Well, I guess I have Lord M for saving my life and my foot. Since I am a diabetic, I could have lost my foot over the bite. He called someone in Nashville and got me in to a doctor down there. We went down there and the doctor threw a fit. He immediately admitted me into the hospital and they scraped all the dead and poisonous tissue from the area. I got to stay a day down there. I now have a hole in my ankle as big as your fist and I kid you not. You can see the bone, tendons and the whole nine yards. They are going to give it a chance to heal on its own but there is a good chance I will have to have skin graphs done on my ankle.

In all this chaos, I believe good news did come out of it (or else the morphine was talking, lol!), I am now engaged to Lord Myst. Yes after all these years of him asking me to marry him, I finally broke down and said yes. We were to be married tomorrow but I told him I thought we ought to have an engagement period. So we have now set the date for Samhain. I am going to ask Lady Beltane to handfast us, if she has the time. He is throwing a hissy fit wanting to know why we have to wait till Samhain. I told him I wanted to be sure our ancestors could attend, really I want time for head to clear to make sure I am making the right decision but anyway…..if Lady B agrees I hopes she likes the hills of Kentucky, lol!

My dear thoughtful son, Jacob had to pop me with a surprise also. He decided since I was going to be laid up for six months, I might get bored, Bored, yeah right! But anyway, he is a thoughtful child and was thinking of me and didn’t want me to go stir crazy. So he started me another website. I hope you caught that he started it, guess who finished it, me. I guess I am a sucker but I believe all things happen for a reason, the snake bite, the marriage proposal and now the new site. We are having our grand opening today. Grand right, I haven’t even unpacked all the files yet. But anyway, it is set to open today so it will open. If any of you would like to hop over and say hello or just look around, I would be glad to see you. The name of the new site is “The Witchcraft Chronicles.” The name just popped in my head and I took that as a sight as well. Ain’t it great to be a superstitious witch, lol!

Since I had received so many emails wanting to know how I was doing I thought I would give you a quick up-date. Got snake bite, been in the hospital, got engaged, and now a new site. I think that is about it. I believe really that is enough. You will find our new banner below if you would like to visit. And, oh yeah, Lady B, how about that handfasting?

Got to run for now. Hope to see you soon. Till then…

Luv & Hugs,

Lady A

JUNE’S FULL MOON

The sweetest full moon of the year is June’s full moon, commonly known as the Full Strawberry Moon. While the full moon itself is inedible, despite how round and delicious it may seem, the Full Strawberry Moon marks strawberry harvesting season in North America. Most Algonquin tribes understood that it was a sign that wild strawberries were starting to ripen and ready for the harvest. Delicious though ripe strawberries may be, June’s full moon has another name that’s even sweeter.

What could possibly be sweeter than strawberries? Try honey. In Europe, June’s full moon was actually known as the Honey Moon. Other European names for it included the Hot Moon, signifiying the beginning of hot summer days, or Hay Moon, because of the first hay harvest. Those names aside, European names for the Full Strawberry Moon overall tend to have sweet, romantic connotations – a good example is the name Full Rose Moon. June’s full moon is also called Mead Moon, which could refer to the mowing of meadows during summer, but there’s another more romantic interpretation as well.

In Europe, it’s traditional to gift mead or honey to a newlywed couple during their first moon of marriage. The name Honey Moon itself has now become a common word in the English language, used to refer to the honeymoon holiday that couples go on right after they’re married. It used to be that newlyweds in ancient Europe would go on a sweet romantic holiday around the time of June’s full moon, because the moon phases were seen as a symbol for the phases of a marriage, with the full moon signifying the fullest and happiest part, the wedding itself.

The Full Strawberry Moon is tied to romance and marital bliss all around the world. In India, for example, June’s full moon is celebrated as Vat Purnima, where married women perform a ceremonial ritual to show their love for their husbands. Vat Purnima is based off a legend from the Mahabharata, about a beautiful woman, Savitri, who is determined to save her husband, Satyavan, who is doomed to die an early death. Savitri fasts for three days before Satyavan dies, upon which she successfully negotiates with the King of Hell for the resurrection of her husband. Similarly, married women nowadays dress up in beautiful saris, fast, and tie a thread around a banyan tree seven times to wish that their husbands will lead long, happy lives.
It is no wonder, then, that the Pagans also call June’s full moon the Lovers’ Moon. This is an excellent time to work on the connections in your life, romantic or otherwise, by showing affection to your loved ones and allowing yourself to be vulnerable to encourage intimacy in your relationships. During this Honey Moon, some Hoodoo practitioners will even use honey in magic rituals to sweeten other people’s feelings towards the practitioner. An example of a sweetening ritual is to pour honey into a saucer containing the target’s name, before lighting a candle on top of it. Another example of a honey ritual is to tie two poppets together with honey between them, in order to heal a broken relationship between two people. Honey rituals aside, true magic may happen when you invest your time and effort during this month to work on your relationships and appreciate the love you have in your life.

Good Whatever Time You Get to Read This in the Southern Hemisphere

To our Southern Hemisphere readers, I am still working out a way to get you your horoscopes and daily everything when it is morning where you live. I think I almost have it figured out and hope to start the new week with both hemispheres getting daily things in the morning and not when your day is coming to a close. OK, I really need feedback from, our DownUnder brothers and sisters. I have set the “Daily Horoscope” and “Moon Phase” to post about 3:00 PM CT my Friday 5/31 afternoon. which if I figured the time right they should go live about 7:00 AM AEST on your Saturday, June 1st morning.

If these two posts work like I hope they will I can post information at an appropriate time for both hemispheres. When we da Sabbat gathering in the Coven Life chat room we have one circle but 2 rituals one for the Northern Sabbat and another ritual for the Southern Sabbat.

Since I started the Coven Life website I felt it is important that my students and/or visitors to the site learn about how magick is done and the Esbats and Sabbats are observed. We have quite a few articles written by my right-hand witch, Priestess Hypatia, who lives in Australia and has access to websites from there that I cannot see, about to bring up sitting the middle of the USA.

As I said last week when I took over WOTC there would be some minor changes. To me the most important thing is to get you the daily planetary positions, current moon phase, and daily horoscope, of course, I will attempt at some point so to add to the daily things for you. As far as posting information on the Southern Wheel of the Year they will be posted on covenlife.co

Please give me feedback on if the posts I did for the Southern Hemisphere come live on this website at about 7:00 AM AEDT. If you want it earlier in the morning then that I can change the post going live time easily.

 

Happy Wednesday Sisters and Brothers

th

Posts are going to really short today because I can barely keep my eyes open. We have had thunderstorms come through every night since Saturday. One of my familiars is terrified of thunder so if I’m asleep she wakes me up and wants a light on with her human cuddling her. If I’m still awake when the storm starts there is no going to sleep until after the thunder stops. Needless to say, my eyes are at half mast right after only 2 hours of sleep but you are important to me so here I am and now on to the posts…

In Honor of the Women, Men, and Animals that Served Our Country

This will be the only post for today. Please light a candle in memory of the people and animals who have died over the centuries to keep the restof of us safe.

I ask you to not only remember the brave men, women, and animals that served in the USA armed forces but also their family and friends. Remember to the men, women, animals, family, and friends of those who gave their life in the line of duty as a First Responder.

May those who remember rest peacefully in the Summerlands.

May their family and friends find comfort and support to help ease their grief.

So mote it be.

Greetings Sisters and Brothers

Why Lady Beltane takes Saturdays off from posting, answering comments and emails too. There are a few reasons the main one being I spend so much time on the computer to research other websites for information on different paths of paganism to present to the students in Coven Life’s different Witchcraft courses and now for cool and informative things for WOTC that I physically need one day I do not have to sit in my desk chair. Doing the research is a blessing to me as I learn more about the traditions I do and do not incorporate in my own solitary practice and as a teacher or mentor to those newer to The Craft then most of us it is an honor to learn new things and past them on to you and/or students on CL. So I make Saturdays a no screne time day the only exception once in a while is my Kindle if I’m reading a really good novel. Another reason is with having Fibromyalgia and somewhat bad arthritis through out my body I need a day to just kick back in another position besides sitting in my desk chair fingers typing away. I also have clinical depression and an anxiety disorder. So with all of these negative things that my physical body has, along with the mental, and emotional problems I need a day to hibernate, even my cell/mobile phone is shut off, to cleanse myself of all pain and any negative energy I have allowed to build up within me then I refill myself with positive emotions, be in a better place spiritualy, and not physically hurt so much. Now that the weather is warmer I also use the day to tend my gardens and just sit outside in my backyard watching my 2 canine familiars, Cleopatra a 10-year-old Min Pin and Starbabie a 7-year-old Long Hair Chihuahua, romp around and/or lay around soaking up vitamin D from Ra/the Sun. My husband drives me on errands I cannot walk to as I don’t drive. It’s a day of rejuvenation and family along with rest and no TV, Computers, Cell/Mobile plPhones interrupting me.

If you have a question or need to talk with me before Sunday put “Urgent” in the subject line because I check for “urgent” emails one time on Saturdays about 1:00 PM CT and will answer those. If it is something that can wait for one day please let it.

The only exception to this self imposed rule is the 2nd Saturday of every month when I host an Open Chat in Coven Life’s chatroom, informattion for the Open Chats can be found by clicking on Coven Life in WOTC’S menu than look for a box on the right-hand side of the Homepage for Coven Life’s Events. That week I take Sunday off.

Starting next Saturday I will have some posts scheduled to go live almost every Saturday.

Now I need to go enjoy Ra’s beautiful warmth and rejuvenation before it starts raining for about the 10th in a row. I wish each of you a weekend full of positive happenings and seeing the beauty of Mother Earth and all living thing upon her. Remember those small trash bags if you go for a walk, hike, or bicycle ride. We are the stewards that set the example for those who would harm her.

Blessed be dear ones.

The Psychology of Magic

This comes from the book Witchcraft an Alternative Path by Ann Moura copyright 2003, pages 114-116.

The Psychology of Magic

“Because time is fluid in Witchcraft, seen as a spiral that may be accessed at any point, it is not difficult to work magic with the future results in mind. The subconscious mind is accessed for magical work, and it is also the place where all of the activities of daily life first take place. Because of how the neural transmitters function, and the distance run by nerve impulses, all things known by the conscious mind actually take place earlier and are only remembered consciously. In other words, there is a time lag between an event and a person’s cognitive awareness of that event. This is why a person may not realize the bath water is too hot until after being in it a few moments — it just takes a while to register on the conscious mind. Meanwhile, the subconscious mind is already aware of the temperature. Witches practice opening the communication channel with the subconscious mind, so that in the tub example, a Witch would be aware before stepping into the tub that it is too hot. Most people simply go through life without noticing discrepancy of time, except when something called deja vu (“already seen”) occurs, and then they wonder why a place or event seems so familiar or has happened before. This is a clue that time does indeed spiral and you dip into it at will.

Since in deja vu experience you seem to know in advance what will happen, if only a short time, you can alter the event. What may be somewhat amusing is the reaction of other people involved in the event. Since they are not connectively using the subconscious mind and not aware as quickly as yourself, you may find they want to react to something that has not happened, giving them a puzzled pause. As an example, I once averted a disastrous dinner argument by keeping silent during the experience when I knew that I was “supposed” to make an innocent remark, which led to a fight the first time around. When the time came for my remark, I did not make it and the conversation at the table stopped cold, everyone turning to look at me! But I had changed history and the table chat resumed without the argument.

When you start altering the future, you may have multiple deja vus of the same event or experience. The meaning of this is that you ran the course of the event, did not like things turned out, changed it, ran the course again, and still did not like the results, so you are giving it another try or realigning the events prior to the deja vu to make the results more satisfactory. Another aspect, which you will begin to recognize with experience, is that there is a variation in the deja vu from what you knew it once was. That means your prior change has worked, and you are given a second chance with the new arrangement. This facet of time manipulation is characteristic of the Witch’s development of subconscious awareness. Witches are people who have refined their ability to process precognitive stimuli and hold on to it so they are able to then alter events before these even register on the conscious minds of other people.

The fluidity of time makes it possible for you to manipulate it so that you can stretch it out, making certain you are never late to any destination. the raising of energy you are working magic, the conscious mind is silenced or relaxed so the subconscious mind may come forward as the active principle. Doing drumming, breath work, chanting, and dancing during the raising of energy when in the Circle is a way to move yourself into an altered state. Drugs and alcohol are not good for this since these inhibit your awareness. When working magic, the subconscious mind creates the reality, which will then be perceived by the conscious mind.

To be a Witch, you have to be ready to live in multiple layers of reality with multiple worlds (Physical, astral, psychic, spiritual, etc.) since these are what you access when practicing your Craft. These worlds exist and are approached with mediation, astral projection, out of body experience, visits to Otherworld or Underworld, pathworking and spell casting. IN the ritual of casting the Circle, you create a space not only to hold the energy you raise, but one that is apart from the rest of the physical world. When you draw the cosmic lemiscate (Smaller INFINITY 2) over the altar, and say that you are standing between worlds, you say you are “in a place that is not a place, and in a time that is not a time” as a reminder for the subconscious mind to be open. You stand at the nexus of other worlds, where the magic you conduct may travel to affect your physical world.

 

Greetings on This COnfusing Monday Morning

th

Yes, I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I own WOTC so there might not be any regular daily posts until later on this week. Please read on for more information on how I plan on running WOTC, no worries no major changes why try to fix something that definitely is not broke, or what some might call me rambling…lol

As you might know, today is my first day of owning the marvelous website it took our beloved Lady Abyss years to build up. So I need your help to keep this site up to her high standards of bringing her brothers, sisters, and other readers things they want to read and/or use in their practice. I ask that you bear with me the first couple of weeks until I get my feet back on the ground because my broomstick and I are in the clouds this morning because of the honor bestowed upon me by Lady Abyss selling me her site. SHe emailed me a list about 6 inches long of the websites WOTC is allowed to use things from and link back to, so I need time to look at all of those sites. While I have been posting on WOTC on and off for about 5 or 6 years it was my own stuff I posted and not the day to day things. But with your help and patience, I will be back to posting divination things on a rotating base along with other I hope informative and interesting articles for you. As the picture for WOTC says I am the founder and owner of Coven Life, covenlife.co, which some of you know of from attending Esbat and/or Sabbat gatherings through and I with the help of my right-hand Witch, Priestess Hypatia, have courses for the novice, adept, and priest/priestess level witches. So I have two websites to post to and oversee what others post on them.

Witches Of The Craft and Its Domain are now for Sale

After 18 years spent on the internet and due to expensive lawyer fees coming soon, I have decided it is time to move on to the next stage of our lives. Therefore, the WOTC is now up for sale. It has not been an easy decision to make but I believe it is time for us to move on, hopefully to bigger and better things for each of us.

The site is currently valued at $45,000. But that is not the asking price for it. The price I have set for the sale of the WOTC is $5,000. If you are a member or Pagan group that would be interested in purchasing the site, the price is negotiable. It is my hope that someone will purchase the site and love it and care for it as we have over the many years.

Witches of the Craft is one of the oldest and most respected Pagan websites on the internet today. You will be purchasing a site that is well known and also has name recognization. The domain will come due later on this year at which time it can be transferred over to you. We also have a Blogger site (Witches Rec Room) and a Pinterest site which I will include in this purchase, if you want them also. If you are not interested in the other two sites, they will be deleted immediately after the sale is complete. Included in the purchase of the site, I will stay on for three months as a consultant and help you learn WordPress if you need for me too. As far as the store goes, when this site is sold, the store will disappear. The store is not included because of the various wholesalers we deal with.

The site does produce some revenue from the ads that are placed on the site by WordPress. It is nothing that is going to make you rich but it does help pay the internet bill. You can also decide whether you wish to keep the ads or remove them, that will totally be up to you.

So what are you getting:

Basically three sites for the price of one, if you want the other two, I will gladly hand the keys over to you. You are also getting a well established site, one which you do not have to start out and build it up. Between the Pinterest site, the Blogger site, the Facebook pages(which by the way, the minute this site is sold will be deleted) and this site, there are more than 45 million followers. I will stay on for three months to help you, if you need for me too but I will not be in the public eye nor make any posts.

I have not put this site for sale on any of the websites that sells sites yet. The reason being is as I stated earlier, I hope some one or some group purchases it and loves it and cares for it as we have all these years. This site has huge potential and it is my hopes that the new owners can soar higher and further than we have ever done. I am willing to work with anyone who is interested in purchasing the site. As I mentioned, I wanted to offer it to you first before I did a total stranger.

If you are interested in purchasing the WOTC and the other sites I mentioned, you can contact me at:

witches_of_the_craft@outlook.com

 

Thank you,

Lady of the Abyss

Daily Witches Rune for May 16 is The Birds

Daily Witches Rune for May 16

Daily Witches Rune

The Birds

Keywords: Unexpected news, change.

Meanings: The Birds Rune means some unexpected news that may alter your life completely, especially if this is the leading rune. Generally, the news will lead to a positive change but pay close attention to the nearest runes to determine its nature. It can also mean news of friends or family that you haven’t had contact with in quite a while. Letters and documents should be watched for as they may well bring happiness.

The Tarot Card for May 16 is The High Priestess

The Tarot Card of the Day

The High Priestess

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keywords: receptivity, passivity, potential, knowledge, secrets!

Astrological Correspondence: The Moon

The mysterious High Priestess closely guards her secrets and occult wisdom. This card symbolizes the unconscious, a concern with our internal worlds, spiritual forces, and the understanding of higher truths through dreams and intuition. As a wise woman the High Priestess is the goddess of fertility and is seen as a healer, possessing intuitive powers and clairvoyance, and striving to create harmony and inner balance. She emphasizes the necessity to get in contact with our inner self, to reflect and meditate, to trust our feelings, and to let dreams and intuition guide us. Observing – rather than participating or acting – the High Priestess can also represent platonic love, manipulation, a pause in a process that was progressing or even a standstill, causing doubt and confusion.

Do you have what it takes to save the universe? If the signs were superheroes then each would have a different approach to rescuing victims and slaying villains. Whether it be with powers of invisibility, elasticity, impenetrability or even a range of high-tech gadgets – they’d all have their own unique style. Here’s what type of superhero each of the zodiac signs would be.

Aries: Superman/Supergirl.

 

The cape and the tights are a natural fit for Aries. Your sense of invincibility makes you feel pretty super human at times but there’s always this lingering urge to go higher, faster, stronger. The thought of not being tethered to the planet – being able to fly through the universe and bore to the centre of the Earth pricks both your ego and sense of adventure. Try to avoid Kryptonite and Lex Luther where possible.

Taurus: The Incredible Hulk.

 

The Taurus zodiac sign would most likely be the Hulk. You’re slow to burn but when you do lose control you appear to double in size. Rage is a motivating force that you can use to move immovable objects and objectionable people. Green may not be your color but there’s something oddly satisfying about a hero that just goes ballistic and smashes the crap out of everything.

Gemini: Deadpool.

 

Are Gemini personalities heroes or anti-heroes? Sometimes it can be hard to tell. They resemble the duality of superheroes like Deadpool. Smart talking, rude, oversexed, you enjoy the rapid fire world and need a hero with a badass name. Deadpool’s powers of regeneration are perfect for Geminis who typically get frustrated when things grow or heal too slowly for their liking. Team this power with lightening hand to hand combat and constant trash talking and Gemini could save the universe in the blink of an eye.

Cancer: Harry Potter

We reckon Harry Potter qualifies as a superhero cos he’s got powers and and vanquishes super villain Voldemort over and over again. As a Cancer zodiac sign you love all things magical and a world where nothing is as it seems. You connect with Harry’s humanity and the family he creates at Hogwarts and you love the prose of casting spells and transformation – your favourite thing is the cloak of invisibility – with this Cancer could ensure their loved ones were safe at all times without being accused of stalking.

Leo: The Flash.

 

Everything about the Flash just matches the Leo personality – from the name, the red suit, the lightening bolt – and the super speed thing too. Your love for all things explosive closely resembles this heroes ability to create a giant electrical storm out of nowhere. And just like the Flash’s super speed abilities – you can go from 0 – 100 in the blink of an eye.

Virgo: Dr Who.

 

The Virgo zodiac sign would be a quirky and eccentric kind of hero like Doctor Who. Since you’re a professional organizer you might find the idea of storing the entire contents of a house inside of a phone box sounds oddly appealing. Just like the Doctor you’re also a keen problem solver who doesn’t require flashy powers and grandstanding to get the job done.

Libra: Spider-Man.

 

There’s something Libra-like about the rhythmic way that Spider-man travels, looping through metropolis like acrobats on silken threads. If you’re a Libra you’ll love the spider dance and the super sensory aspect of being part arachnid. As a sign that strives for balance and avoids violence you imagine that Spidey could just weave a net to catch your enemies – all without a single drop of blood being shed.

Scorpio: Batman.

 

Of course the dark night is Scorpios superhero pick – as they are basically just a blood transfusion away from being a vampire. You’ll love the gothic overtones and the menacing underbelly of Gotham City. The brooding aura around this hero along with the slightly damaged psyche are things that Scorpio can relate to well.

Sagittarius: Antman.

 

Sure, being tiny might not be the most show stopping power. But as an adventure loving Sagittarius you’re eventually going to run out of exotic destinations to visit and as a micro superhuman endless new possibilities would open up. You’ll have the chance to climb a blade of grass that – to scale – was higher than Everest. Or even tunnel underground deep below the Earth.

Capricorn: Wonder Woman.

 

The Capricorn sign and Wonder Woman have more in common then you might realize. This sign shares the same strength and resilience that embodies the warrior spirit of this hero. You can try to knock ’em down over and over again and they’ll get back up every time. Very little is able to phase them or throw them off track particularly when they’re on a mission.

Aquarius: Thor.

 

As a storyteller and lover of all things mythological the Aquarius personality is drawn to superheroes who have their basis in ancient fables. Thors’ Viking heritage and his never ending battle with shape shifting Loki accurately captures the intensity of this sign. What’s not to love about a timeless story of family treachery and redemption – that’s right up the the Aquarians alley!

Pisces: Catwoman.

 

The Pisces personality can feel lost and tormented at times. But they can also be menacing too when they sharpen their claws. Which is why they would most likely be the Catwoman if they were a superhero. They have a tendency to like animals even more than humans meaning they’ll feel quite at home saving the world as their feline self.

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are full of clever, resourceful ideas today, which is why you will see new uses or applications for something that you already own. Likewise, you might see new ways to make money on the side. You might even find a better paying job!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Take a realistic look in the mirror today and ask yourself what you can do to improve the image you create on your world. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression! Your discussions with others will be powerful and to the point. (Oh yeah.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your ability to search for answers and solutions is fantastic today. You’ll be like a dog with a bone. Not only is your mind focused, you have the motivation and endurance to keep working until you find what you’re looking for. If you discover secrets – be discreet.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might attract someone today to you who is really powerful. (“Hi Darth.”) Do not be intimidated because there is also a likelihood that you are the powerful person in someone else’s eyes. Either way, your conversations will bring about changes for the better.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your interaction with a boss or a parent will be powerful and to the point today. In fact, one of you might be blown away. On the other hand, everyone is prepared to deal with big issues in order to get a better result. This could mean you have to start all over again.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Steer clear of people who are on a soapbox and proselytizing their personal views on politics, religion or racial issues because they will be too much. Run the other direction. Meanwhile, don’t coerce others to agree with you on these issues, either.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You couldn’t pick a better day to plow through details related to banking, shared property, taxes, debt, wills, inheritances and insurance matters. You will make great headway because you have the motivation, perseverance and pluck to find what you’re looking for. Good luck!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Stay calm when talking to partners and close friends because conversations with others today will not be casual. They will be serious, to the point and perhaps revealing. Some people might be pushy. (Not you, of course.) That was a joke.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This will be a productive day at work because you have penetrating insight and a deep desire to introduce reforms and make improvements to whatever you do. You might be aggressive because you see how things can be better. Be skilful to get the cooperation of others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If you’re involved in sports and competition, today might be a bit fierce because people are aggressive! They will mean what they say and say what they mean. They will also be physically in your face. Take it easy. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is the classic day to tackle repairs at home. Quite likely, you will entertain projects that need to be stripped down or torn away to get down to the bare bones of things before you can rebuild, or refinish or recover or restore. You get the idea.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today your mind is so powerful and focused, you can do anything! You can study anything, you teach, you can sell, you can persuade and you can act! Remember that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
