Moon Alert
Caution: Avoid shopping or big decisions from 9 AM to 4:30 PM EST today (6 AM to 1:30 PM PST). After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You are the artisan of the zodiac, which is why you’re so talented with your hobbies, arts and crafts. Today you are in touch with your muse, which is why you should grab every opportunity to express your creativity. Please check the Moon Alert above.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
For a good portion of this day, there is a Moon Alert. Nevertheless, family discussions, especially with a female relative, will go well. However, during the Moon Alert, don’t volunteer for anything or agree to anything important. Keep things light. Enjoy the company of others.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This might be a busy, fast-paced day for you; nevertheless, because of the Moon Alert (see above), you might face shortages, delays, silly mistakes and confused communications. You might change your mind or feel indecisive. When the dust settles, you will focus on home and family.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Be careful because this is a tricky day. A big portion of this day is a Moon Alert, and for your sign, this Moon Alert is taking place in your Money House. Therefore, during this window of time, don’t shop. (Except for food and gas.) Postpone financial decisions. Wait until it is over.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a wonderful day to socialize and enjoy the company of others. It’s also a marvellous day for creative activities, which is good news for artists and talented Leos. However, resist the urge to spend money (except for food and gas) until 4:30 PM EST (1:30 PM PST). Enjoy!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today you might feel dreamy and a bit vague, especially in the morning. Be aware of the times of the Moon Alert (see above). Avoid shopping or important decisions during that window of time. However, afterwards, the Moon moves into your sign attracting good fortune to you!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is a lovely day to schmooze with friends. You will also enjoy interacting with clubs, groups and organizations. However, during the Moon Alert (see above), do not volunteer for anything and avoid important decisions. Wait until the Alert is over.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is an interesting day because the Moon Alert will be taking place at the top of your chart. This could mean that you might look like a space cadet to others. Certainly, elements of indecision will be obvious to others. (Actually, the whole world will feel that way, but you can’t hide it.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Travelling will be challenging today during the Moon Alert, silly goof ups might occur. Delays and shortages will be classic. Once the Moon Alert is over (see above), you will be high viz. Be aware of this because people will notice you more than usual.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Be aware of when the Moon Alert happens today because it occurs in one of your Money Houses. This is a poor time to sign important papers. It’s a poor time to agree to anything related to shared property, inheritances, wills and insurance matters. Forewarned is forearmed.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a good day for goofy, casual, lighthearted conversations with partners and close friends. Enjoy this warm camaraderie; however, agree to nothing important. Explore new ideas but wait until the Moon Alert is over (see above) to agree to anything.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your efficiency might suffer today because of the Moon Alert (especially this morning). Therefore, ease up on yourself and others. Just tread water. Today it’s best to go along to get along.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress, comedian Kathy Najimy (1957) shares your birthday today. You are quick-witted, multitalented and many of you are artistic. You are also caring and compassionate about others. Sometimes you need confidence to dream bigger. This year is about service and responsibility to others. Take care of yourself so that you can be of support when needed.
A Laugh for Today
Grab a partner or just go yourself out into the moonlight and party like it’s 2999! LOL

A Little Humor for Your Day – Ineffective Daily Affirmations c. 2019
Ineffective Daily Affirmations
| As I let go of my feelings of guilt, I can get in touch with my Inner Sociopath.
I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia. As I learn to trust the universe, I no longer need to carry a gun. I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else’s fault. I no longer need to punish, deceive or compromise myself. Unless, of course, I want to stay employed. In some cultures, what I do would be considered normal. Having control over myself is nearly as good as having control over others. My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of good judgment. I can change any thought that hurts into a reality that hurts even more. I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have no personality at all. Joan of Arc heard voices, too. I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me. I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper and complain. As I learn the innermost secrets of the people around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet. When someone hurts me, forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit. But not nearly as gratifying. The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice things. All of me is beautiful and valuable, even the ugly, stupid, and disgusting parts. I am at one with my duality. Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves into knots. Rather than curse the darkness, I could light a candle… with a little luck, I could torch the place. I will strive to live each day as if it were my 30th birthday. Only a lack of imagination saves me from immobilizing myself with imaginary fears. Does my quiet self-pity get to me? Yes? Or should I move up to incessant nagging? I honor and express all facets of my being, regardless of state and local laws. Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than “I told you so.”

Your Ogham Reading for Monday, November 5, 2018
Fearn-Alder
The third letter of the Ogham alphabet is Fearn it means alder-tree. Alder-bark has been used by many cultures to treat various health problems and disorders, everything from insect bites to tuberculosis. Alder is a very water resistant hardwood and is often used in foundations where water is present. The key points to remember with alder are confidence, shielding, guidance, and standing up to ones enemies. Just as water stands no chance against alder, your enemies are at a loss when you have the protection of the alder.
Fortune – Drawing this Ogham is a sign to remain true to yourself and resist all temptation!
Huathe-Hawthorn
The Celts often believed the hawthorn to be a portal to the Otherworld. The hawthorn is a hardy plant commonly used for hedges and great firewood. It can even be an invasive species at times. The key points to remember with the letter Huathe are obstacles, walls, and obstructions. Its ability to form a natural wall gives the diviner an idea in what this symbol can mean to them and their lives.
Fortune – To overcome obstacles and walls you must make a personal sacrifice, to gain we must lose something of ourselves!
Ura-Heather
The beauty of heather flowers is one reason it is associated with the Irish Goddess of love, fertility, and new growth. Be happy when you draw this letter because it denotes love, companionship, and passion. Whether it will be a new love or an old love rekindled, Ura is a powerful symbol and one that may bring great luck in your love life.
Fortune – This Ogham deals in matters of Love. Whether it is new love or rekindling of old love, enjoy the peace and love that comes with Ura!

Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Full Moon peaks in Leo at 1:29 PM EST (10:29 AM PST).
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You want to socialize today and explore sports events and fun activities with kids. If so, do be aware that the desires of the group will overpower your individual wants. This means you have to be prepared to follow the Pied Piper wherever he goes.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might feel a clash between home and family versus your career and public reputation. Greater powers than you might hold sway today. Accept this and graciously watch from the sidelines. Today the power of the many override the power of the few. That’s what’s happening.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for you. Don’t waste your breath arguing with groups or the multitude because they will win today. The pushy majority will hold sway. Keep your mind on what you’re doing.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Money disputes might come to a head today. If you’re at odds with a group, keep a low profile because their desires will probably prevail because today, the rights of the individual will likely cave to the collective. You have to know when to hold and when to fold.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is the only Full Moon in Leo all year. Naturally, you will feel this buildup of energy within you, which might put you at odds with partners, spouses and close friends. The voice of authority might throw a wrench in things for you. Don’t stick your neck out.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today’s Full Moon might wreak havoc with your work, your health, even your pet. (None of these things might happen but they could.) Travel plans are daunting today. If you don’t agree with someone, and especially, if you don’t agree with a group – step down. Not today. Stay cool.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today’s Full Moon creates an accident-prone situation for your kids. Therefore, if you are a parent, be vigilant. Meanwhile, social events might be interrupted, cancelled or changed. An argument with a friend might suddenly occur, especially about money or joint funding. Tread carefully.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today you’re pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and public reputation. You can’t keep everyone happy. Very likely, the group (whatever the group is) will win out if you are in dispute with them. Best to know this ahead of time.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Be careful. This is an accident-prone day for you. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Watch your step, walking, jogging, cycling or driving. Be careful not to blurt something out that you later regret. Keep a low profile to get through this day unscathed.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Money disputes about the education or care of children, or the cost of a social event might arise today. These will be difficult to resolve. In fact, if you are up against group pressure – step aside. You have to know when to pick your fights.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year has arrived. This will promote disputes, especially with partners, close friends and spouses. Family upsets will be likely; and if the majority disagrees with you – you will have to cave in or walk away. That’s because today, the collective wins.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a difficult day because the energy of the Full Moon will create disruptions at work, difficulty with pets, and perhaps stress to your health. Furthermore, this is an accident-prone day for you. Verbally and physically. Therefore, caution!
If Your Birthday Is Today
Footballer Cristiano Rinaldo (1985) shares your birthday today. You are intelligent, organized and a great communicator. You like to be busy; and you like to help others. You also love to learn. Keep your options open this year and be ready to change directions if opportunities present themselves to you. It’s time to explore something new.

Full Moon In Leo Rituals 2023: Return To Your Heart & Shine
e full moon in Leo is right around the corner, and with all the planets finally stationed direct, it feels like a late unofficial start to 2023. But what does the full moon in Leo mean from an energetic lens, and how can you celebrate this full moon with a ritual tailored to the heart and fire of your inner lioness?
The full moon in Leo is also known as the snow moon. With it comes an invitation to heal our inner child, return to our hearts, find the courage to reclaim the fullest expression of who we are, and shine brightly so the world can see us sparkle.
What does a full moon mean?
A full moon occurs roughly every 28-29 days. Each phase of the moon has its own energy and is linked to one of our menstrual cycle phases.
On the full moon, she shines a light on our shadows and invites us to face anything we’ve repressed or hidden in our shadows (our subconscious). It’s also a time to expand, turn your energy outward, and celebrate how far you’ve come this moon, this year, and even this lifetime.
Because the moon’s energy is feminine, the full moon is a time to reconnect and reclaim the divine feminine within you and be around other women doing the same.

Saturday’s Witchery (Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence) c. 2015
Saturday’s Witchery
Saturday is a day filled with opportunities to clean up and clear out. So if you are wondering why Hecate is assigned to this day, take another look at what she symbolizes and the magick that is associated with her. That should answer the question.
Hecate was the oldest form of the Greek Triple Goddess, as she presided over heaven, the underworld, and earth. Crossroads where three roads met were especially sacred to Hecate, earning her the title of Hekate of the Three Ways. It’s interesting to note that even after the worship of other goddesses waned, ancient people still worshiped Hecate as the Queen of the Underworld and the Guardian of the Three-Way Crossroad. It was also believed that if you left her an offering of food there, she would grant you her favors. As Hecate Trivia, her triple images were often displayed at these crossroads, where she was petitioned on the full moon for positive magick and on the dark of the moon for cursing and dark magick.
While this last bit of information sounds a little ominous, keep in mind that Hecate/Hekate was known by many titles and is a shapeshifter. Her appearance could and did change often. As a dark moon goddess, her faces are many. To some she may appear as a old crone, hunched over a smoking cauldron and draped in a midnight cape. To others she may appear as a dark beautiful, mysterious, and mature woman wearing a shimmering crown. To some she may be perceived as a maiden priestess. She was called the “most lovely one,” the Great Goddess of Nature, and the Queen of the World of Spirits. This dark goddess knows her way around the earth and the underworld. All the powers of nature, life, and death are at her command.
