As an August 27 birthday personality, you have this idea of how things should go which also puts you in a good position to be an organizer. You pay attention to those small details whereas most people do not. You sometimes set unrealistic expectations and find yourself disappointed when things do not work out.

The August 27th horoscope predicts that normally, this emotional Virgo is also sensitive. Your friends say that your feelings show on your face, you can’t hide it. Sometimes, it’s not what they think.

This seems to be an issue as you also pick up other people’s vibes. You try to be fair and practical but sometimes, life is not a bowl of cherries. However, this can make you melodramatic depending on what day it is.

Oddly enough, people find this an interestin3g birthday personality trait, but usually, you all can laugh about your “I love Lucy” shenanigans. You can make your views known as you can express yourself in creative ways if not in the traditional sense. If you could combine your creative style and your ability to bring people together into a career, you’d be the one with the money.

As the August 27th astrology suggests, there are times when you have to nurture. If this is an indication of your desire to help people, you are in the right neighborhood with the younger group.

As a parent, you tend to bring your beliefs to your home.

Those born on this Virgo birthday, you are communicators and as such make excellent writers and caring professionals. Mostly, as a writer, you would do well to write on subjects about self-help or children’s books that have a meaning. Some of those proceeds should go into a saving account if not for retirement then for rainy days. Your potential is great. What you do with it is on you.

Get support from your family and friends on projects that seem too big. However, you have been successful in your previous investments. You plan to have control over your life, and that means that you may have to spend long hours at work or even go back to school. Those of you born today have what it takes to be your boss. Material things don’t mean all that much to a virgin like you.

The August 27th zodiac rightly predict that it’s your health that suffers when you don’t get enough sleep. You worry about this and that. Stressing over issues that sometimes are not even yours. Typically, Virgo natives take your job seriously, but you should not bring it to bed with you.

Your relationships could suffer because of this. Your health is affected by way of your stomach mainly the digestive system. You can help your situation by avoiding caffeine, hot and spicy foods and enjoy a good workout followed by a sauna.

The August 27 birthday personality is loving, passionate and interesting to say the least. People can live vicariously through you with your schemes and pranks.

You love to laugh and to make people laugh although you are highly sensitive. On the other hand, if today August 27 is your birthday, you can be withdrawn and difficult to get close to. Nonetheless, you care about others and need to make sure everybody is doing okay.

The Moon phase for August 27th, 2025 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

To make the healing stone:

Take an average stone from your yard or anywhere else (if you have no yard or they all really suck) or you can purchase one like a tiger’s eye.


Once you’ve got one cast your circle, call your quarters. Do an altar devotion then cleanse consecrate, and empower it. Instill the flame of a green candle and a white one to empower it with healing magic and purify it.
While doing this hold your pentacle over it and say as many healing spells as you know. Then pour holy water on it and you’re done.

Spell For Tomorrow – A Ritual Bath Glamour Spell For Aphrodite

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

A Ritual Bath Glamour Spell For Aphrodite

If you work with deities, or even if you’re interested in working with Aphrodite for the purpose of this glamour spell, then this beauty ritual bath is wonderful for enhanced beauty.

Before the bath, set out an offering for Aphrodite. This offering can be dried roses, petals, wine, or anything else that you feel represents the goddess of love.

Set up your bathroom in a way that feels pleasant and romantic to you. I like to use pink or red candles, rose petals, rose oil essence, bath salts, mirrors, makeup, and anything else that represents beauty.

Think of the bath as your giant cauldron and add ingredients to it one by one as it fills.

Once the bath is ready, hop in and focus on your intention. Spend 20 minutes or so picturing exactly how you want to appear to others and how this will make you feel. Send your gathered energy into the bath, then picture the water infusing your skin.

If it feels right to you, chant the words:

Beauty within, beauty without,

I am fabulous, without a doubt.

Once you feel that the energy has been absorbed by your skin, the spell is finished.

This is a simple glamour spell that you can build into your weekly or nightly ritual!

The Moon phase for August 22nd, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

Being a Leo born on August 21st, you have a motivating and sincere personality. You are affectionate with those you care for most but at the same time, you can also be quite cold hearted with anyone who has done something wrong to you.

Serene and creative, you always find ways to make your life prettier. Get ready for an exceptional astrological perspective below.

 The zodiac sign for August 21 is Leo.

 Astrological symbol: Lion. The sign of the Lion is influential for those born July 23 – August 22, when the Sun is considered to be in Leo. It suggests power and courage but as well a sense of royalty.

 The Leo Constellation is one of the 12 zodiac constellations, placed between Cancer to the West and Virgo to the East on an area of 947 sq degrees with the brightest star being Alpha Leonis and the most visible latitudes +90° to -65°.

 The name Leo is the Latin name for Lion. In Greek, Nemeaeus is the name of the sign for August 21 zodiac sign. In Spanish and French it is used Leo.

 Opposite sign: Aquarius. This is important because it reflects upon the protection and diligence of Aquarius natives who are thought to be and have everything those born under the Leo sun sign want.

 Modality: Fixed. This shows warm heart and inventiveness and also how diligent natives born on August 21 truly are.

 Ruling house: The fifth house. This placement suggests all the sheer joy taken from the pleasures of life and entertaining human interaction and reveals why these have always played an important part in the lives of Leos.

 Ruling body: Sun. This planet is said to govern over fearlessness and knowledgeability and also reflects the enlightenment inheritance. The Sun is placed at the center of the solar system.

 Element: Fire. Empowerment and confidence is given to those born under the August 21 zodiac sign as this element is considered to rule for those full of potential and ambition.

 Lucky day: Sunday. This is a day ruled by the Sun, therefore symbolizes indulgence and regulation and identifies best with the Leo natives who are serious.

 Lucky numbers: 4, 8, 16, 18, 27.

 Motto: “I want!”

 People born on August 21 have a great forceful will and are both unhesitating and passionate. Just like a true Leo, they are resourceful and honorable. They appreciate winning at everything in life but also having someone to be all ears to them. They dislike having to deal with commonness and not having everyone all ears to themselves. Those born under this sign enjoy settings where they can control everything and are the only empowered people.

 Positive Traits: These natives are bright and full or resources and they always seem to seek for challenges that can put their abilities to work. They are empowering and amicable and they often take their mates under their wing and try to work at their self sureness. They are conscientious and self assured and thrive in the company of the right people.

 Negative Traits: These natives are strict and selfish and they often believe that they are the only ones who can perform a certain task so they often offend others. They are utopian up to the point that they are blinded by their own motives and are rapid to get mad if they do not receive everything they want. They are indifferent and resistant to transformation. They can commit stupid mistakes just because they are trying to maintain their leading position.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on August 21 are energetic and sensual. They like to take time for courtship, they see this as another competition and of course they do their best to win it. They are attracted to persons that are as energetic and ambitious as they are and can keep up with them. You can conquer the heart of Leo if you know hot to handle them, show them how amazing there are but in the same time temper them and help them get a grip of reality.

 They are likely to surprise everyone around them with the passionate love they are capable of, only if they come across someone that will truly awake their interest. Otherwise they are aware of their attractiveness and this leads them to a tumultuous love life, falling in and out of love. A creative, freedom lover, once decided to settle will invest all their attention in their family and they will probably have brilliant children. Some struggle, trial and error will govern parts of their love life but in the end everything will be worth it. They are most compatible with those born on the 6th, 9th, 15th, 18th, 24th and 27th. August 21 Zodiac people seem to be most attracted to the other fire signs: Aries and Sagittarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Leo is in a permanent search for a curious and passionate partner who can broaden their horizon and the most suitable to offer this to them is the native born under Aquarius. The lover in Leo is said to be least compatible with Cancer. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Leo, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: The lucky color for those born under the August 21 is represented by orange.

Orange symbolizes energy and vitality coupled with strength. This zodiac color is advised to be used in accessories and items of clothing.

People who have orange as sign color are enthusiastic, supportive and active. They spend a lot of time outdoor, are always aware of their surroundings and tend to be adventurous and exploring all the time. This rich hue can bring a boost of energy and power to the charismatic Leo.

Other colors for Leo people are red and purple.

Representative Birthstone: The birthstone considered to be representative for Leo natives with August 21 is the rich and fiery Ruby.

Ruby is a precious material that denotes faithfulness and passion. This zodiac birthstone should be used in all kinds of jewelry items that are to be worn frequently.

This gemstone is said to be beneficial in affections involving blood and lymphatic circulation. It is also thought to cool off emotions. Rubies are second strongest gemstone after diamonds and the quality ones are very rare.

Another birthstone considered beneficial for Leo natives is Peridot. It symbolizes energy and enthusiasm.

Characteristic Flower: Sunflower is the flower defined for August 21 and in general for Leo natives.

Sunflower is one of those plants that denote liveliness and warmth and was thought to boost confidence. This zodiac flower should be used in decorations and other accessories.

This is a fertile and happy flower, always searching for the sun just as Leo is in a permanent search for success. This flower can be found during summer.

Other flowers representative for Leo are Narcissus and Marigold.

Symbolic Metal: Gold is the metal defined for August 21 and in general for Leo natives.

Gold symbolizes elegance, power and bravery. This zodiac metal should be used in bracelets and other accessories.

Gold has always been recognized as monetary wealth but it is also known for other benefic properties, such as healing ones. A gold leaf may be only 0.19 microns thick.

Another metal considered beneficial for Leo natives is Bronze.

Characteristics: August 21 Zodiac belongs to the third decan of LEO (August 13-August 22). This decan is influenced by the planet Mars. Those born under this influence combine the ambition and power of Leo with the bravery of the fighting Mars. This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of the Leo zodiac sign with a great accent on the negative ones.

 Leo is said to be the eleventh most commonly met zodiac sign in the birth occurrence. Being an odd numbered sign, this exudes a positive meaning and a masculine symbolism. This is representative for extrovert natives who are accessible and warm. An archetype used to describe this sign is the Prophet. It is said that there are more engineers in Leo than in any other sign. Famous people born on August 21 under the Leo zodiac sign: Kenny Rogers, Wilt Chamberlain, Kim Cattrall, Hayden Panettiere and Usain Bolt.

If you were born on August 21, you are the strong and silent type. Between social media, continuous news feeds, and 10 different forms of communication, you prefer to stay out of the hustle and bustle of modern technology. You enjoy the simple things in life! A good meal, a long walk, or a nice chat with a trusted friend is all you need to be content. Don’t get so stuck in your ways that you lose relationships with people who are important to you! A phone call every once in a while will remind your loved ones that you care … and that you’re alive out there.

August 21 Leo at Their Best: Composed, supportive, protective

August 21 Leo at Their Worst: Withdrawn, elusive, grumpy

What to Wear: Nothing that could possibly out-class the guest of honor. Arrange to fade into the background when the “star“ makes a grand entrance.

What to Eat: Caviar, foie gras, Chateaubriand and, of course, truffles!

Who to Invite: If heads of state can’t make themselves available, check if Beyonce, Brad Pitt, or a Kardashian might squeeze the soiree into their schedules.

Where to Go: A palace (or a diner that can be decorated like one) would be rather appropriate.

AUGUST 21 birthday horoscope predicts that you could be a natural in front of the camera. Gifted, you can be found in professions relating to the arts, public relations or even research. You are flexible and verbally skilled. You have the gift of gab that can take you very far.

Being an August 21st birthday personality, you could be a salesperson, retail, real estate, cars… you name it, Leos can do it. Maybe advertising is more your speed as you like variety, and you can be creative as well.

You’re brilliant to have a choice in your career and future. All you have to do is finish what you start. Things could get out of hand because of it. As the August 21 horoscope says, Leo, this is one of your flaws.

Typically, those with this Leo birthday are logical influential people. You’re quick and able to think as well as make sound decisions on the spot. Alternatively, there are times when you overthink!

What your birthday August 21 says about you is that you can talk yourself out of something that could be worth the risk and lose out of profits when you second guess yourself. Make a decision and stick to it.

The August 21st astrology rightly says that you were born to win. Leos can affect other people and their opinions. Yes, you have a lot to offer although you can be conceited and demanding.

Your friends and family sometimes worry about you as you can be self-destructive. Leos born on August 21 are likely to be their own worse enemies. It is suggested that you should respect others as individuals.

Please understand that everyone has their quirks, nonetheless, human and valuable. You can change your attitude to a more positive way of thinking about those that are different from you. Sometimes, Leo, you don’t think, and that too could be a problem for you. However, you have a large circle of associates.

As a Leo in love, you are pretty successful. The August 21 zodiac love compatibility analysis shows that you tend to give it your all, but when it doesn’t work out, you recover quickly, more so than other people born under this zodiac sign. A relationship with you can be interesting.

Normally, the August 21st zodiac birthday Leo is passionate and very energetic. You kind of want the same thing from your prospective partner. The lion needs intellectual stimulation.

If you were born on this day, you are capable of speaking on most subjects that are trending or historical. You don’t rely on your hearts to make decisions. Oddly, this can present problems. While it’s true, you may be single for some time; you make an excellent friend and lover, that is till you decide to commit.

Let’s talk about your career choices. Since you were born on August 21, you like hectic days. There’s a certain level of excitement that keeps you upbeat all day long. Your persuasiveness makes you a good candidate for leadership. At the same time, you can make it on your own.

The August 21st birthday meanings show that you have plans of being a star no matter what profession you choose. The optimism of a Leo born on this day is unstoppable. You don’t typically sit in on pity parties.

You keep it moving as you have big dreams and will not allow yourself to be defeated. Finding the right combinations of spirit and colleagues will pay off for you in the long run, so stick with it.

Your health conditions are pretty good although you could stick to a workout routine better if you found one to fit the August 21st birthday personality. But then, you are prone to accidents and likely will have to guard your back, knees and your joints.

Try walking instead of cycling or jogging. It’s not much pressure on your bones. If you do opt for a run, protect yourself. Taking your pet with you could be a good idea.

If today August 21 is your birthday, you find that a busy day makes a good day for you. Many times, you open a can of worms and leave it, however, you could be your boss.

Sometimes, we need to make decisions that are heartfelt. Finding the right combinations of spirit and colleagues will pay off for you in the long run, so stick with it.

(One Person’s View) Casting The Runes c. 2018

Casting The Runes

Each individual will eventually devise his or her own way of casting the runes. What follows are some
suggestions, all following a similar path, but they are by no means fixed rules.

 

It is important to remember that your runes are your own, and are special. You have created a link
with them and that is important. Never lend your runes, unless you feel comfortable doing this. I
personally would never lend runes, Tarot cards or crystals to anyone else. If you are unsure, maybe
you should try drawing a rune from your pouch and seeing what you get as an answer. It is suggested
that an upright rune gives a Yes answer, and an inverted one a No answer. However, those runes
which look the same either way may prove a problem!

 

A traditional way of casting the runes is to mix them in a pouch and cast them on a cloth, usually
velvet. I keep my runes in such a pouch and use them in this way. It usually happens that the runes I
am intended to use find their way into my hand or between my fingers as I mix them in the pouch. I
usually draw nine runes.

 

Others have suggested drawing three runes at a time, three times, with a break in between each set of
three.

 

Old Nordic tales suggest that throwing runes at a person was a means of casting a magical spell.
Likewise spells are said to have been cast by writing certain runic inscriptions on a piece of paper and
passing it to the unsuspecting intended victim.

 

All these things may belong in folklore, and have no bearing on the modern usage for runes; it is up to
the individual to decide. One runemaster I know draws three runes which represent current
circumstances. Having looked at these three runes, he returns them to the pouch and draws three
more. The second set of three represents courses of action or possible outcomes. The second set is
then also returned to the pouch and a final single rune drawn, which indicates influences likely to have
a bearing on the problem as a whole.

 

Tradition suggests that Odin’s number was 5. For this reason, some runemasters work with only five
runes. Those interested in numerology will note that the runes total 25 if you include the blank rune.
This all adds up to 7, which is a powerful and spiritual number, and for this reason, perhaps, some
runemasters draw seven runes when casting.

 

Another means of casting the runes is to ‘shuffle them’ and leave them to their own devices for a while
(15 minutes is usually suggested), and then draw 12, laying them on a runic chart especially
prepared for the purpose.

(One Person’s View) Ways Of Casting The Runes c. 2018

Ways Of Casting The Runes

 

There are probably hundreds of different ways to lay the runes for a casting. What is given here is
only a selection. It is by no means exhaustive.

I would suggest that you try some of these, going for the ones with which you feel comfortable before
trying your own ideas out. The reasons for this are many, not least of which it is important to
familiarise yourself with the runes and how they are read as a group before progressing.

It should also be remembered that you may have some personal thoughts on the meanings of the runes
at the time you are carrying out the casting, which you should not dismiss out of hand. The meanings
given here are basic, and again by no means exhaustive. You may for example wish to use all
the reverse meanings given, even though some runes look the same either way up. Experience is the
best teacher, and you must always do what you feel comfortable doing. Don’t go along with something
just because others do – make up your own mind.

Another means of casting the runes consists of five runes, called Odin’s casting. Again these are laid
down from right to left, with the third rune slightly raised from the remainder. I read these as being
two pages within a book with the third rune being that which is either holding the pages together, or
conversely, stopping them from being turned. I use a similar layout in Tarot readings.

Similar layout could be used with seven runes.

You could also consider using a 12 rune casting, linking each rune either with a month or with a sign
of the zodiac. This is usually laid out in a circle, as in Figure 7.3, although I have seen many
variations of this.

Yet another suggestion would be what is sometimes called the rune-cast method. Basically, you ‘shuffle’ the runes within their pouch, and having formed a circle of string on the floor, empty the pouch into it.

Those runes nearest to you have the greatest meaning. Should any have fallen outside the string circle,
these can be ignored; likewise if they fall on the string or have fallen face downwards.

There are many more ways of casting the runes, and no doubt you will find one suitable for you.
Experiment and practise.

(One Person’s View) The Runes and The Elemental Links

Most people with even a smattering of knowledge of astrology will be aware of the elements of earth,
air, fire and water, and that three zodiac signs fit into each element. It should come as no surprise,
therefore, to learn that a rune also corresponds to each element.

What follows here are the most widely accepted linkages between the elements and four of the runes.
Also given are other runes which are said to link in with the element being discussed.

Earth

The element of earth is concerned with solid foundations, and with keeping in touch with reality. It
may be interesting to learn that Eihwaz, an earth rune, is sometimes called ‘the Rune of Death’ because
of the poisonous qualities of the yew tree with which it is associated.

Also associated with the earth element are Uruz, Wunjo, Berkana, Othila, Isa (which can also link
with the water element, ice being frozen water) and Jera. Isa, Eihwaz and Jera are also said to link
with the New Moon.

Water

Kaunaz is, surprisingly, a water rune. It relates to bonfires, but does not equate to the element of fire.
To the Vikings, bonfires were a physical light in the darkness, as well as symbolising inner knowledge
or enlightenment. It relates to emotions and intuition, and therefore its element is water. Some
runemasters will disagree here, preferring to keep Kaunaz with its symbol of fire.

Also associated with the water element are Perth, Lagu, Ing, Raido and Gebo. Hagalaz has
connections with ice, and so also correctly belongs with this element. Kaunaz, Raido and Gebo are
said to link with the waning of the moon. Gebo and Raido also link with the element of air.

Air

Ansuz, an air rune has a strong connection with Odin, who was considered to have discovered the
runes in the root of the Tree of the World, and as such has a link with the ash tree. He was also
considered to be the source of knowledge and inspiration and it therefore follows that Odin should be
described as the source of language, and the runes as a form of communication.

Ansuz relates to the element of air, to divine breath, to thought and to the power of the intellect.
Also associated with the element of air are Teiwaz, Berkana (which also links to earth having a
duality in element) and Ehwaz, which also link with the waxing of the moon. Algiz is also said to link
with the air element, as do Sowelu and Mannaz.

It should be noted that some runemasters suggest that Ansuz is more correctly linked with fire and
water rather than air.

Fire

Dagaz is a fire rune, and represents day, breakthrough. It is associated, too, with the dawn of the
world, since the earth was born in flames. Dagaz is considered to be the illuminator, the light, and as
such cannot be destroyed. It is the guardian by the doorway, a protective force against anything
harmful. Dagaz is another case of elemental duality, associated both with fire and air.

Also associated with the element of fire are Othila and Fehu, which also link with the full moon, and

August 20, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 20th, 2025 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 26.51 days old and 10.6% illuminated with a tilt of -33.192°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 376,957.35 km and the moon sign is Cancer.

The Moon phase for August 20th, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.
