Aquarius Moon continues the focus on achieving results in your main fields of expertise within your neighborhood, community, nation or around the world. Giving you an injection of self-assurance are a mentally expansive Moon-Jupiter trine in air signs (5:39AM PST), plus an inspirational, 72-degree link from Mars to Uranus (5:55AM PST). A favorable Mars-Uranus rapport can become a bold energizer across the board. However, not long after this aspect occurs, Mercury makes an abrasive, 45-degree to Mars (7:11AM PST) and then Venus squares Neptune (10:24AM PST). Suddenly, it’s easy to become your own worst enemy if you are not careful. Think about what you say before you blurt something out that you will quickly regret. Watch out for growing confusion in love and money matters. Be generous with hugs and kisses to nurture family members on the rocks. As the day progresses, take some timeouts for reflection and contemplation as the Moon parallels Saturn (11:12AM PST) and Neptune (12:49PM PST) while Mercury forms a subtle and yet still constructive, 30-degree tie with Saturn (5:10PM PST). Be on the lookout for advanced opportunities in your realms of high achievement as the Sun unites with the Galactic Heart Center in late-Sagittarius during the next 48 hours.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, December 3rd
We are eager to start new projects now that the evocative Moon is in extroverted Leo. The Moon’s Grand Fire Trine with the inspirational Sagittarius Sun and irrepressible Uranus in pioneering Aries makes this a propitious time to initiate action. We are willing to set our goals a little higher and stretch a bit further to reach them. Even if we run into obstacles, we still feel joy from the upward movement of our spirit.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are excited today as the storm clouds continue to clear, encouraging you to feel as if you can see forever. Although this is a great day to set long-term goals, the lively Leo Moon adds an element of playfulness to nearly anything you do. You can even come to terms with difficult emotions now, especially if you are willing to narrow your vision and move slower as you execute your plans.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You might reveal your innermost feelings today in a rather cavalier manner. Usually, it takes time for you to open up and verbalize your emotions, but self-disclosure seems like the simplest course of action now. Grab the opportunity to share while you can, since expressing what’s in your heart sets a positive tone for the days ahead.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You may have so much to do today that you feel tired before you even begin anything. And although it’s difficult to set a pace you can maintain throughout the day, getting started is half the battle now. Don’t worry about the possibility of letting others down because you’re not sure you can hold up your end of the deal. You might be happily surprised when you look back and realize how much you actually accomplished.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Everything at work seems to be moving along smoothly today now that the extroverted Leo Moon collaborates with the planets in your 6th House of Employment. Nevertheless, your emotions are more complicated than others realize, but you might be afraid to share them now because you don’t want to create any drama. Ironically, expressing your true feelings will ultimately result in more harmony than if you remain quiet.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Today’s outgoing Leo Moon poses an interesting dilemma. You’re more sensitive than usual, but you’re also excited by original ideas and unconventional plans of action. Your world is humming an unfamiliar tune and you are ready to play along, yet there’s a nagging voice that encourages you to stay within safe boundaries. Find a way to honor your vulnerability while still moving joyfully toward your future.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Newly acquired information must be integrated into your current perspective today, even if you think it will distract you from your real work. You might act impulsively, letting others know how you feel without regard to the consequences. Although there’s no need to postpone action until another day, make sure your decisions are made in a methodical manner rather than shooting from the hip.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Although today is an action-packed day, it seems as if something is holding you back from doing as much as you wish. It may be that social obligations prevent you from having the fun that you wanted. However, if you remain flexible, the potential for enjoyment might resurface later in the day in ways that you could never expect.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Although several planets moving through Water signs heighten your emotional sensitivity now, a Grand Fire Trine empowers you to swing into action and overcome any self-doubt. There’s still more work to do resolving issues regarding your own self-worth, but at least you can sense hope is on the horizon. Be patient yet persistent. Don’t ease up on your efforts, but it’s important to realize that it’s going to take some time to achieve the results you desire. Your positive attitude can make all the difference in the world.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your energy is building to a crescendo today, yet you must be careful not to over-commit so you don’t waste the current opportunities in front of you. It’s tempting to blindly trust your confidence now, but it’s healthier to support your optimistic outlook with analytical skills and a concrete plan. Balancing your goals with a bit of common sense multiplies your chances of finding success.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You can feel a shift into a new perspective, but you might still resist change. For this reason, the next few days may feel a bit strained as current circumstances require you to let go of the past. Meanwhile, now that the Moon is in expressive Leo, you need to take a risk to make the most of the situation. Nevertheless, watch your moods carefully, especially while interacting with people who stir up your emotions. It’s perfectly acceptable to switch the topic if things get too intense.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Social activities bring a lot of joy this time of year, but unfortunately, there is also a high price to pay. If you overextend your commitments now, you might find yourself too tired to do what really must be done. Your current practice should include moderation. If you curtail your activities just a little, you can conserve the energy that you need to fulfill your current obligations.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
It might feel as if you’re running around in circles today, as you think and rethink the same ideas. Your current mental loops may border on obsession, but they can also indicate that some information about a project at work is still missing. Nevertheless, shine your inner light for all to see. Don’t waste precious energy trying to analyze what’s happening; just trust that it will all make sense in due time.
The Moon’s Sign
The Moon’s Sign
The moon’s sign is another traditional consideration. The Moon continuously “moves” through the zodiac, from Aries to Pisces. Each sign possesses its own significance.
Aries: Good for starting things, but lacks staying power. Things occur rapidly, but quickly pass. People tend to be argumentative and assertive.
Taurus: Things begun now last the longest, tend to increase in value, and become hard to alter. Brings out an appreciation for beauty and sensory experience.
Gemini: Things begun now are easily changed by outside influence. Time for shortcuts, communication, games and fun.
Cancer: Stimulates emotional rapport between people. Pinpoints need, supports growth and nurturance. Tend to domestic concerns.
Leo: Draws emphasis to the self, to central ideas or institutions, away from connections with others and emotional needs. People tend to be melodramatic.
Virgo: Favors accomplishment of details and commands from higher up. Focus on health, hygiene, and daily schedules.
Libra: Favors cooperation, compromise, social activities, beautification of surroundings, balance, and partnership.
Scorpio: Increases awareness of psychic power. Precipitates psychic crises and ends connections thoroughly. People tend to brood and become secretive under this sign.
Sagittarius: Encourages flights of imagination and confidence. This is an adventurous, philosophical, and athletic Moon sign. Favors expansion and growth.
Capricorn: Develops strong structure. Focus on traditions, responsibilities, and obligations. A good time to set boundaries and rules.
Aquarius: Rebellious energy. Time to break habits and make abrupt change. Personal freedom and individuality is the focus.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 19th
The early hours have an upbeat and favorable vibe due to the Moon in Aquarius making a harmonious trine with Jupiter in Gemini (2:49AM PST) followed just one minute later (2:50AM PST) by a Moon-Neptune parallel. Write down your dreams and nocturnal soul-wanderings for future consideration. Tensions are back and causing a rise in stress as the Moon parallels Saturn (7:06AM PST), Pallas squares Vesta (8:02AM PST), and Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Pluto (10:53AM PST). Taking a time-out from business-as-usual during these alignments is sensible. Love bonds receive a solid lift due to the Moon forming a parallel with Venus (7:36PM PST). Around 21 hours before Pallas shifts gears from reverse to forward, Mercury forms a trine to Pallas in water signs (8:18PM PST). Strategy sessions with a trusted friend or adviser may be in the cards. Extra hours of rest and sleep are suggested later on since the Sun is parallel Pluto (10:20PM PST), Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Vesta (10:48PM PST) while Mars opposes Ceres (11:17PM PST). Be prepared for tomorrow’s illuminating energy-field.

Weekend Love Horoscopes
November 16 – 18: Channel Your Energies
Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology
The Moon moves into responsible Capricorn on Friday morning, pushing us to strive for ambitious goals and commit to the hard work and dedication to reach them. Usually, this earthy sign inspires us to establish plans and stick to them in a particular order. This sense of control and predictability makes us feel safe enough to trust others and open our hearts.
But stability may be hard to come by on Friday, as the Moon crashes into volatile Uranus and opposes volcanic Pluto. Emotions can be intense and circumstances could shift in an instant. Instead of fighting these tides of change, it’s best to adapt to surprises with as much grace and flexibility as possible. Macho Mars also enters calculating Capricorn on Friday night, adding to the desire to restrain feelings and manage circumstances.
Taking on a practical project or setting a goal that demands some effort is a constructive way to channel this energy. Playing games is fine, as long as the activity itself is more important than the outcome. When one person tries too hard to win, the other can feel like a loser, which is not conducive to intimacy. A lunar move into airy Aquarius on Sunday morning should make things friendlier and less competitive. Inventive and unusual experiences are fun ways to connect if we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Spell Working
SPELL WORKING
by Koren
Because of the very nature of magick, each working should be highly
individualized and personal. Even if following a traditional spell, it should
be tailored to your specific needs to be most effective for you.
Understanding the basics of spell construction will enable you to formulate
your own specific, effective spells for any purpose you desire.
Preliminary planning is necessary. The very first step is to decide precisely
what your desired end result is to be. Before you can start, you must decide
where you are going. You must be very explicit.
It is important, also, that you choose your time carefully. You should take
into consideration all astrological implications, energy currents and moon
phases.
The moon is the astronomical body closest to us and, therefore, has a profound
influence upon us, it is very important to choose a time when the moon is in
an astrological sign which is appropriate for your working.
For example:
Aries/action – enthusiasm
Taurus/renewal – sensuality
Gemini/communication – curiosity
Cancer/emotion – nurturing
Leo/vitality – determined
Virgo/organizing – studious
Libra/balance – cooperation
Scorpio/sexual – philosophical
Sagitarius/strength – humour
Capricorn/authority – ambitious
Aquarius/innovation – social
Pisces/sensitivity – idealistic.
Bear in mind that magickal workings for gain, increase or bringing things to
you, should be initiated when the moon is waxing (from dark to full); when
the moon is waning (from full to dark), it is time for magickal workings of
decrease or sending away.
The highest energy occurs at the full moon and, therefore, this is the most
powerful time for magickal workings. The new moon is the next most powerful
time for magick.
Whenever possible, follow nature’s natural energy currents. There is a
natural time for starting things (a planting time), for maturing things (a
growing time), for reaping things ( a harvest time) and, of course, a time for
rest and planning.
Flowing with these currents will make your magickal work much easier. remember
to plan your project for a time of uninterrupted privacy. It is important
that you have no distractions. Generally speaking, it is best to work as late
at night as possible. A time when there is less frantic energy is most
appropriate. You might consider midnight or later.
In choosing a place to do your magickal working pay particular attention to
your needs, for you must be comfortable. Your place should be private, quiet
and secure. If at all possible, set aside a special place for this purpose
only. An unused room, a special corner of your bedroom, a quiet, secluded
spot in your garden. A place that is yours. A place that you can come to
whenever need arises and that is as free from intrusion of others as possible.
Prior to the night of your magickal working, gather together the things that
you will need. All of the things used are tools. They have no inherent
magick. They are to help you create a mood. If correctly made and used, they
will trigger primitive responses from deep within you. They should be chosen
with care. Consider the purpose of your ritual and choose your tools
accordingly. If your magick is to be sexual, your candles, oils, incenses and
so forth, should bring forth a sexual response. If the desired result of your
magick is tranquillity, then the tools should make you feel calm, peaceful and
serene. Any candles you might use should not have commercially added
fragrances as these may not be appropriate for your working.
Prior to your ritual, prepare yourself and your equipment by any means
necessary to clean and purify. Historically, people have fasted, followed
meticulous and detailed bathing practices, practiced chastity and used many
other methods.
Most often a ritual bath is the preferred method. A bath frequently utilizing
candlelight, fragrant herbs, bath salts or sensuous oils. A sumptuous hot
bath, special bathing preparations and appropriate lighting, combined, can
create the soothing effect which will help in the very important step of
relaxing and clearing the mind completely of all mundane thoughts and
experiences of the day. Your ritual bath should, also, begin to set the
specific vibrations conducive to your purpose into motion. You must not only
cleanse and purify but must, also, begin to create the type of energy
necessary. Once your purification process has been accomplished, you are now
ready to begin. Proceed to the special place you have previously chosen in
which to perform your magick. If at all possible, you should make use of the
primitive responses set into motion by a well chosen piece of music. Your
music should start slowly and build to a rousing climax.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 3
If you are looking for a silver lining in the recent cloud cover, you may be disappointed. It is helpful that the Moon leaves void status in Gemini by entering Cancer (12:44AM PDT). Home and family interests wax in power over the next two days. Overall productivity can climb in your main fields of expertise while healing forces are back on the march — thanks to the Moon forming a flowing trine with Chiron (10:57AM PDT). However, Venus and Mercury decide to play cosmic spoiler roles as they make turbulent waves with two of the three outer planets. Venus forms a frictional contra-parallel with Uranus (7:52AM PDT) while also making an intensity-creating square to distant Pluto (10:28AM PDT). Love bonds and business deals are on shaky grounds. Meanwhile, communications and travel plans may experience delays or disruptions as Mercury forms an off-kilter, 150-degree to the largest asteroid Ceres (3:27PM PDT). Cooking and baking can keep you busy and out of trouble during the evening hours. Immerse yourself in a bestseller, biography or film classic as the Moon approaches a trine with the Sun in water signs (forming exactly at 1:38AM PDT tomorrow morning).
