Flashback 2005 – Litha

The Summer Solstice, the zenith of the sun, is an excellent time to do spells for abundance and prosperity. Take three green candles and three gold or bright yellow candles and put them in gold-colored or brass candlesticks. Arrange them in a circle on your altar or on a table, alternating colors. In the center of the candles, arrange money and symbols of money. Coins are good, for example, and dollar coins work especially well because they are gold colored. You might also put pictures or drawings of what form you want your abundance to take, like a new car, a bill paid, or stocks and bonds and other symbols of wealth and security.

cast a circle as you usually would. Then chant, “Sun so high, bring me your bounty, warmth, and prosperity, bring me success. Bring me the means to fulfill my desires, enough and some to share.” Repeat this chant and imagine the pile of coins on the altar growing, and the pictures and symbols becoming real. Hold the thought as long as you can, and as soon as your attention begins to waver, say, “So mote it be,” and quickly blow out all the candles. End your circle in the usual manner.

Flashback 2005 – Yule

Gather with friends at sunrise, or as soon after as possible, on the Winter Solstice. Meditate on the idea that this is the darkest time of year, but that light will return. As it is the circle of the year, so may it be in the world: that as the light grows, illumination and warmth extend through-out the globe. Concentrate on the idea of peace, understanding, and harmony between all peoples spreading as the light of the Sun spreads. Resolve to be a more peaceful person in the coming year and think of ways you could promote understanding. Feel in your heart of hearts that peace is not only possible be inevitable, that the time of war is over, that the human race is evolving past such foolish pursuits. Then sign a song of peace, like “Imagine” or “Give Peace a Chance” by John Lennon; “Universal Solider” by Donovan; or “Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream” which has been recorded by Joan Baez, the Weavers, Pete Seeger, among others. If you are alone and don’t wish to sing, play a peaceful selection of music – either folk songs or music like Pachebel’s Cannon or Dubussy’s La Mer –while concentrating on the same idea.

The Moon phase for December 9th, 2025 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

Spell for Monday – Spell to Begin Again

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

I know I posted this spell noy long ago but I purposely looked it up because of the dark playground in my mind I am in. Not wanting to harm myself just wishing the world would go away for a day or so. I am in a depression not for seasonal depression disorder but from the stress I have been and am under for different reason like very tight money problems, my mom’s birthday 5 days away and I really miss her, all the snow and my dad not being able to be here physically do “play” in it, also the only grandpa I knew had crossed the veil yesterday 41 years ago, being behind on house chores and to me my home looks like a dirty mess, and lastly my physical limitations because of fibromyalgia and other things. I know this will all pass and everything happens for a reason but I still don’t have to like where I am mentally, emotionally and physically today.

Five of Swords – Minor Arcana

Upright keywords:

Confusion, deception, falsehood, learn to laugh at yourself and keep moving forward.

Reversed keywords:

Humiliation, grudge, conflict with authoritarian people.

When the reversed Five of Swords Witches Tarot appears, you may be tempted to prove to someone that you are right about something. And that could be a serious waste of your time and energy. If you are right, it does not matter if other people believe you or not. Spend your health and energy on more profitable and useful things. Overall, the reversed Five of Swords is a sign that you may be hurting yourself. Know how to choose and consider. Not everything is worth diving into and arguing. Likewise, not everyone is worth fighting for. Consider your priorities and what is most important to you.

Hexagram Three/3

Name: Chun.

Keyphrase: Problems At The Beginning.

Formed By The Trigrams: Water over Thunder.

General: The first step towards true learning is acknowledging your inexperience.

Love: Provided you learn from the problem you have encountered you will get past the current stumbling block.

Business: Assess your business honestly and see how you could do better business.

Personal: If you have hit a setback then make adjustments to your lifestyle and the setback will only be temporary.

Overview: Chun is a reminder that although problems may be encountered they are often only brief – just like a thunderstorm. And like the land that benefits from the extra rain you too can benefit provided you learn from what has happened. Once any obstacle has been surmounted then your project will have the chance to thrive. But you need to be wary of reckless action. Recognize misleading and corrupt influences and forge alliances with those that are trustworthy. You are most at risk if you let your ignorance blind you to how much you have to learn.

Three

THE CREATIVE CHILD

The number 3 is like a gifted teenager who is still under the protection of its parents – a bit spoiled, clearly scattered, and perpetually in need of guidance. However, the 3 excels in the creative field.

Another unique quality of the 3 is the tendency to be “lucky,” or rather, to be in the right place at the right time. This may be connected to their innate sense of rhythm – the 3 seems to be in tune with the cyclical nature of their surroundings.

Their social skills are also excellent.

Charm, wit and a sense of humor help a 3 along their path, and a compelling charisma make them particularly attractive.

DECEMBER 8 birthday horoscope predicts that your motto is that you believe in getting the most out of life, so do it. You are generally beautiful and resolute. But you are known to speak your mind which has a reflection on your outward beauty. You will not keep anything hidden in your heart.

It is likely that you, as a Sagittarius birthday, are stubborn people. However, you can be submissive. You can be extreme. From time to time, your dual personality makes itself visible and can be confusing to most people.

The December 8th birthday love compatibility predictions show that you fall in love too quickly or at least you think that you are in love. Even in “love,” you have difficulty remaining faithful and loyal to one person. Again, this could be due to your personality switches, or more simply, you are afraid of long-term commitment. As the December 8 zodiac sign is Sagittarius, when it comes to being a parent, you would indeed make a good one. You love young children and may feel that they could learn a thing or two from you.

The December 8th horoscope predicts that you take your health seriously. Mostly, you have a good attitude about life, and this contributes to your health conditions. You have no trouble speaking your mind, so this could eliminate a lot of stress and the presence of any blood pressure problems. You use shopping, like many people, as a means to lift your spirits when you are not feeling well.

We could talk about your career and your finances, but there’s not much to say other than you could do better when it comes to a job. You know this, and that’s why you move on to someone who will appreciate your talents. Normally, you work with people and are known for this. This, in addition to your skills, enables you to move forward and possibly have a profession that will suit your taste and salary requirements.

But the December 8 astrology analysis warns that the money you spend on your whims could be saved. You like having fun and splurging on your friends but remember your short-term goals and goals for retirement. However, Sagittarius, you will not let a good time stand in your way of achieving the status that you work so hard to achieve.

Professionally, these December 8 birthday personality are qualified to do some things. You have great skills as a communicator. This could be valuable in law enforcement, public speaking, and journalism. The future of person who born on 8 December truly depends on what his or her personality.

Additionally, you are an honest individual who could make a name for yourself in politics. At the same time, if you are interested in performing or in the entertainment industry, my advice is to go for it. Many born on this birthday today have successful careers as actors, ballplayers, and entertainers.

This wishy-washy attitude of the December 8th birthday personality can make life difficult for them at times. The result of some of your decisions are not the right ones. Another trait that could be considered as negative birthday characteristic is that some people think of you as being arrogant or boastful.

You may not like to compete but usually are the blunt of antagonistic behavior. Otherwise, you have an entourage of people at your beck and call. This could be because of the way you live. This zodiac birthday person likes doing big things, and when they have money, usually, they have many “friends.

The December 8 birthday meaning suggests that you have big plans for life. You dream big, and it’s okay. You have short and long-term goals that with your determination will be met.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, December 7 to Saturday, December 13, 2025

All Signs…

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week begins with your ruler fiery Mars at odds with Saturn, and then Neptune. This ain’t easy for anyone, especially you. However, you can make things better for yourself by avoiding controversial topics like religion, politics and racial matters because these conversations could be contentious. (A lot of people are looking for a fight.) Even discussions about travel, publishing, medicine and the law could trigger conflict. This is tough for you because you’re interested to travel right now. You want a change of scenery. Feed your need for enthusiasm and new information by signing up for a course, learning new things and talking to fascinating people.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

I have frequently said that you are financial wizard of the zodiac and it’s true. Be careful as this week begins because an argument with someone about debt, shared property or shared possessions could be nasty. Not only might you be in conflict, there might be confusion (even deceit) in the picture as well. Fortunately, Mercury is opposite you, which will help you to clarify and explain issues with others and discuss difficulties that arise. Ironically, this position of Mercury promotes signing contracts. However, don’t do this on Monday and Tuesday. When the dust settles, it appears that things will go in your favour. Until then, don’t count your chickens before they’re barbecued.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are at a mild disadvantage this week because the Sun and fiery Mars are opposite your sign. This means you have less energy. You need more sleep. You might feel less inclined to defend yourself. And you certainly will have to defend yourself because Mars opposite your sign will create tension with someone, especially an intimate partnership. You might have to compromise. The good news is that Venus is also opposite your sign, and this will help smooth things over. Avoid clashes with parents, bosses, the police and any authority figure because not only will they be nasty, someone might deceive you. Be comforted in the fact that you can see ways to get richer! True dat.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

There’s good news and there’s bad news. The bad news is that like everyone else, you’re facing a challenging week, especially on Monday and Tuesday. Relations with older people and authority figures will be dicey. In addition to which, a lot of facts are fuzzy either due to misunderstandings, misinterpretations, missing information or deceit. You will encounter these problems and issues related to your job, your work, your health and even your pet. But the good news is that you can throw yourself into your work (but don’t overdo things) and feel a sense of reward, no matter what goes wrong, because you are energetic and pumped to be productive this week! You want to get things done – and you will!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s curious that three planets in your chart right now are urging you to enjoy sports, get out and socialize, enjoy the theatre, talk to people, grab a movie, meet someone for coffee, lunch or dinner. Get away on a vacation if you can! This is the tenor of the potential of your week. However, (have you noticed that what the large print giveth the small print taketh away?) it is these very areas that will give you concern this week. You might have difficulty dealing with your kids. Social plans might go awry or disappoint. Sports might be challenging. In particular, romance will be in the toilet. There is definitely cause for confusion and disappointment, and in some cases, there will be deceit. Fortunately, family discussions along with home repairs are smooth sailing. Focus on these.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Home and family are a mixed bag this week. Many of you want to redecorate and make your home more attractive because you want to entertain and get in the holiday spirit. Some are more involved with a parent. But something is disrupting your home routine. Visiting guests? Redecorating projects? Whatever it is means you’re juggling more than usual, and this could trigger conflict with partners and friends. Step back and take a breath. Get some perspective. Don’t become embroiled. Instead go out and schmooze. Take a day trip Enjoy conversations with siblings and neighbours because you need some intellectual stimulation!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

More than any other sign, you are affected by your immediate environment. Smells, lighting, colours, furniture arrangement, sounds and the energy of others can please and calm you, or make you want to run away. This is because you need harmony in your environment. You want things to be pleasant and attractive. Arguments and loud noises really bother you. Ironically, you do appreciate your daily surroundings right now; nevertheless, at the beginning of this week, conflict with someone might disturb you. Do what you can to create your own happiness. Avoid what you don’t like. Seek out what you do like. Stay mellow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Mercury is in your sign now, which increases your desire to talk to others. You have something to say! You want to share your thoughts and opinions and you want to be heard. You also want to get out and feel stimulated by travel, visits, meeting new people – experiences that make you feel more alive. Go with this impulse because arguments about possessions, money and earnings, as well as responsibilities with kids, will only bring you down at the beginning of the week. Don’t get involved. Instead, go with what works, which is your own desire to explore new ideas, take short trips and relax in a pleasant way. Yeah! Explore things that are light and entertaining. These disagreements are not worth it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It’s all about you, dear Sagittarius, with the Sun, Venus and fiery Mars in your sign. “Look Ma, no hands!” This week has its speed bumps – for sure. Therefore, wise Sagittarians will go with what works. This is an excellent time to buy wardrobe goodies for yourself. It’s also a great week to do research. You’ll be intrigued with fascinating, spiritual topics and discussions about hidden sides of your personality. Despite your celebratory birthday vibes, you’ll love to grab some quiet moments to read or study by yourself. Having said this, Mars in your sign will oppose both Saturn and Neptune at the beginning of the week creating problems, especially with parents. Tread carefully! Proceed slowly and cautiously. Don’t let doubt and discouragement get hold of you because you thrive on optimism!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your good reputation is important you. You value the respect that others give you, especially from your peers and your community. This is why the beginning of this week might leave you a bit unnerved. Something might happen that makes you second-guess yourself. It might even seem to confirm your worst fears about yourself. Don’t fall for this! This is a tricky illusion but it will feel real at the time. Instead, turn to younger friends and associates be they personal friends or members of groups and organizations because this will be a reassuring and uplifting connection for you. Have a warm discussion with someone who cares and might have helpful input.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a challenging week for you because friendships are important to you. In fact, probably more than any other sign in the zodiac, you value your friends and the wonderful characters that you meet. This is why conflict with a friend or a member of a group at the beginning of the week will concern you. In fact, if you feel that someone has been deceitful or dishonest with you, this will be wounding for you. Very likely, it’s a misunderstanding, so proceed cautiously and slowly and don’t do anything to blow a friendship. Fortunately, your ability to talk to parents, bosses and people in authority shines this week. Don’t hesitate to talk to the person in charge!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The beginning of the week might be a challenging time for dealing with parents, bosses, VIPs and the police. Steer clear of authority figures if possible. Don’t ask for permission or approval for anything because a discussion with someone might make you feel inadequate. Their remarks might embody the very essence of your own worst suspicions about yourself. Don’t react in anger because this will only make things worse. There’s a strong likelihood that confusion and a misunderstanding are present. Someone might be playing fast and loose with the truth. Instead, focus on travel plans, study, learning new philosophies, systems of thought and subjects related to foreign places or the law. Get smart!

Don’t You Quit – An Inspirational Poem

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit-Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a fellow turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out.

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow -You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor’s cup; And he learned too late when the night came down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out –

The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It might be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit -It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

A Few Spells For Tomorrow

Finally, it’s Sunday, the official day of rest. Not only do Christians acknowledge this day, but I’m sure many pagans appreciate this day, as well. Everyone needs rest and a lot of people need a good day to worship their creator(whomever or whatever that may be), however they deem fit to do so. With the Sun being the central theme of many ancient rituals, Sunday just seems to fit, in name and theory. Not only is it a good day to worship, it seems good to do more relaxed spells, such as sleep, dream, and rebirth.

A Spell for While you Sleep

You will need the following items for this spell:

Four lengths of appropriately coloured ribbon
which can be easily tied
Four pins
Your bed

Knot magic has a particular effect in ‘binding’ or fixing a spell in place and with the addition of colour it is possible to use ribbons to bring about a desired outcome. By using your own bed as a focus, your magical work can be done while you sleep. This is a very personal way of working and one which can bring particularly positive results.

If your bed has bedposts, simply knot a length of the correct colour ribbon for your purpose around each post.

Each time you do this, say:

With this knot of coloured ribbon

Bring to me the power hidden. Grant me that right Throughout this night.

If your bed has no posts then carefully pin the knotted ribbon to each corner using the same words.
Each night for two further nights touch each ribbon knot in turn and repeat the words above.

Leave the ribbons in place until you no longer feel the need for them. You can expect to have some fairly vivid dreams over the following three nights, which may help you to develop the qualities you seek. This spell allows your unconscious self to work in a protected space without the chatter of day to day matters.

To Drive Away Bad Dreams

You will need the following items for this spell:

Bowl of warm water
Salt
Your chosen sprigs of herbs
String

This spell uses herbal magick and correspondences to clear the bedroom of negative influence. It is often a good idea to use material that is easily available, so you might use sprigs of rosemary, sage, Lady’s bedstraw, maize silks or broom-corn. Since you want something taken away you should perform this magical working as the Moon wanes.

Dissolve the salt in the warm water.

Tie the herbs together.

Dip the sprigs in the water and sprinkle the corners of the room with the water.

Use the sprigs to sprinkle the salt water on your bedclothes, and particularly round the head and foot of the bed.

When you have done this, place the herbs under your pillow, or if you prefer, under the middle of the bed.

The next morning, discard the herbs at a crossroads if you can, either by burying them or allowing them to disperse to the four winds. Otherwise ensure that you have carried them well away from your home.
This carries all negativity away from your bedroom and bed. This spell uses rosemary which brings clarity, sage for wisdom, ladies bedstraw which is said to have lined the manger at Christs birth, and broom corn, which is used in worship of the Mexican goddess Chicomecohuatl. All these herbs bring cleansing, not just of the room but also of the occupants aura or subtle energy. On the basis that one should always replace negative with positive, you may like to use the following technique to bring about positive dreams.

Having prepared your environment, this next technique is of most use when there is a strong, deeply felt association with the issue or request being considered in magical terms, ideal conditions for spell working. It is like being able to consult an encyclopedia that contains a wealth of information in fact, the Higher Self.

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Sunday

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

The Magical Day Of Sunday

In many traditions of Paganism, days of the week are very important aspects of effective spellcasting. For example, spells to do with abundance or prosperity could be done on Thursday, because it is associated with riches and desire. When casting a spell concerning business or communication, one might prefer to work on a Wednesday due to its associations.

While not all traditions follow this rule, when you’re doing any sort of magical working, always be sure to document the day of the week you’re performing the spell.

You might be surprised later on to see some connections!

Sunday Magical Correspondences

Sunday is associated with the colors yellow and gold, which shouldn’t be surprising – it’s the day of the sun, right? Because of this planetary association, this is a day that’s also connected to solar deities like Helios and Ra. Interestingly, in some Celtic traditions, Brighid’s day is Sunday as well.

When it comes to crystal use, Sunday is related to quartz crystals and diamonds, as well as the yellowish hues of carnelian and amber. For herbs and plants in magical workings, use marigolds, sunflowers or cinnamon.

What kind of magic is best performed on Sunday? Well, it’s a day that generally has a number of associations – agriculture, beauty, hope, victory, self-expression and creativity are all connected to this particular day. Plant or harvest something new (not just material crops, but metaphysical ones as well), create something from nothing, and prepare to win at everything.

The Moon phase for December 7th, 2025 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

All Signs…

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’ll be in your element for the first three days this week because this is the perfect time to push boundaries and dare to break free of routine. Reach for the stars! Powerful vibes on Monday and Tuesday lead to a Grand Trine between Venus, Jupiter and Saturn on Wednesday, which beautifully supports home, family and romance. Behind-the-scenes planning and research will pay off. This is the perfect time to ask for favours, or seek a loan or mortgage. Unfortunately, Thursday and Friday are tense. But the weekend bounces back with opportunities to socialize, and relax on a dreamy Sunday. Opportunities to travel and explore education, medicine, the law and publishing will be plentiful in the next four weeks. Yay!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Old friends and ex-partners are back in your world, or in your thoughts and dreams because Mercury retrograde is opposite your sign right now. Fortunately, fair Venus is also opposite your sign paving the way for warm relations with those who are close to you. In fact, the first three days of this week are wonderfully supportive to partnerships, friendships, and interactions with groups, as well as chatting with siblings and daily contacts. Your people skills will shine! This is also a great time to wrap up old business. Tread carefully on Thursday and Friday (unfortunate for American Thanksgiving); but the weekend is promising once again. Surprises on Saturday might trigger bold action. Be ready!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

For the next four weeks, the Sun is opposite your sign, which means it’s as far away from you as it can get all year. (In your chart.) Because the Sun is your source of energy, this means you’ll need more sleep. Meanwhile, this is a fabulous week because Monday and Tuesday are full of hope and enthusiasm leading up to a great Wednesday, with a Grand Trine between Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. This means everything related to your work and your health will be blessed! You might get a raise. You might find a better paying job. You will impress bosses and VIPs. Relations with coworkers will be excellent. (For some, a work-related romance will begin.) Ironically, with Mars opposite your sign, you’re easily annoyed with people who are close to you. Life has its contradictions.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a powerful week because an amazing Grand Trine between Venus, lucky Jupiter and Saturn will take place on Wednesday. And you are part of this formula because lucky Jupiter is in your sign! Monday and Tuesday are full of optimism and hope, leading up to Wednesday, which is supercharged and full of blessings for you, bringing travel opportunities, plus favourable outcomes with medicine, the law, higher education and publishing. Social outings, the arts and romance are also beautifully blessed. Activities with children will bring joy. However, Thursday and Friday are tense. (Too bad.) Fortunately, the weekend bounces back beautifully with the promise of romance and tenderness.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For the next four weeks, the Sun is in one of the most playful parts of your chart urging you to socialize, enjoy the arts, fun activities with your kids and explore romantic connections. You’ll have the courage and confidence to be yourself and do your own thing. And you’ll be pumped with energy! At the beginning of this week, you’ll be confident and optimistic. By Wednesday, everything comes together, gracing your family with joy, happy times and an appreciation for your home. This is a lovely day to entertain family members you haven’t seen for a while. You might shop for beautiful things. However, Thursday and Friday are challenging; but things soften again with a mellow weekend.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Home, family and your private are your focus for the next four weeks. (How timely because activity and chaos on the home front require your attention.) Fortunately, your ability to communicate has never been better! This week you’ll inspire, encourage and delight others with your wit and entertaining information. (Who knows more trivia than you?) Enjoy short trips, conversations, appointments, errands and socializing on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, there’s a fabulous Grand Trine with Venus, Jupiter and Saturn that will promote short trips, conversations, schmoozing with friends and organizations as well as productive interactions with partners. Admittedly, Thursday and Friday are a train wreck. But the weekend bounces back beautifully!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re busy in the next four weeks with short trips, reading, writing, studying plus errands and appointments. But it’s a happy busy. This week begins with enthusiasm and promise. Monday and Tuesday will be sociable and productive; and on Wednesday, a beautiful Grand Trine between lucky Jupiter, fair Venus and Saturn will boost your Money House, your House of Employment and your reputation in everyone’s eyes. (Bonus!) Use the beginning of this week to boost your earnings; or you might buy something that pleases you. Work-related travel is likely. Publishing is favoured. It’s easy to impress a boss! Thursday and Friday are challenging. The weekend bounces back nicely.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

For the next four weeks, focus on money, earnings and cash flow. Money in – money out. Earning and spending. Finances are the external aspects of this new influence. Internally, you will think a lot about your values. What really matters? It’s important to know what matters to you so that you can make the right decisions. Wise people have said the purpose of life is to be happy. The question then is what makes you happy? The first three days of this week are fabulous, especially Wednesday. However, Thursday and Friday might disappoint. Fear not because the weekend bounces back in fine form. Romance, the arts, travel and education are blessed. This is a great week to buy wardrobe treasures!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the only time all year when the Sun is in your sign for four weeks giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. In fact, fiery Mars joins the Sun causing you to attract people to you, as you project yourself with dazzling energy! Meanwhile, the first two days of this week are upbeat, hopeful and enthusiastic – leading to Wednesday when a fabulous Grand Trine occurs with your ruler Jupiter, plus Venus and Saturn — all supporting each other in a way that will bless your home and family. Money and practical resources might come to you in unexpected ways.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your birthday is looming ahead, which means your personal year is ending. In the next four weeks, you might feel like you’re in limbo as you wait for your birthday to arrive. Actually, this is the perfect time to take a few moments and jot down some goals for your coming year ahead. Goals give you a clearer focus on what’s important, which in turn, give you more clarity in future decision making. Goals also give you better control over your future because they offer you a sense of purpose. This week Monday and Tuesday are upbeat and hopeful. Wednesday will be fabulous because a Grand Trine is happening with your ruler Saturn, lucky Jupiter and fair Venus. This will promote smooth relations with everyone. (You’ll be Teflon.) Admittedly, Thursday and Friday are challenging. Fortunately, the weekend bounces back with gentle charm.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Aquarius is the sign of friendship. Your friends matter to you. Happily, the next four weeks will be one of the most popular weeks of the year for you! Expect to be involved with friends, groups, clubs and organizations. Monday and Tuesday are beautifully supportive to you – a great time to be productive and set objectives. On Wednesday, a Grand Trine occurs between Saturn, Venus and Jupiter promoting your health, your job, your finances and your reputation. (You’ll look marvellous in the eyes of everyone.) Very likely, someone will ask for your advice about how to make something look better.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a wonderful week for you because the first two days are full of promise, and hope. Then on Wednesday, a gorgeous Grand Trine occurs between Venus, lucky Jupiter and Saturn (currently in your sign). This is a wonderful blessing for you. It encourages social outings, fun with sports events, enjoyable times spent with children and a chance to pursue travel and educational opportunities. You can expect positive results in medical and legal matters. People will admire you and respect your drive and ambition. Unfortunately, Thursday and Friday are tough days. However, the weekend is romantic (a bit erratic) and dreamy. Note: You’ll make an excellent impression on everyone for the next four weeks. Count on it!
