Current Moon Phase for Sept. 24: First Quarter

First Quarter Moon

(waxing/64% illumination)

Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.

Items You Need:

Blood Root

 

The Spell:

On a night when the Moon is in a Waning phase, take a blood root (a favorite Voodoo root used for breaking all evil spells and hexes) and throw it onto the doorstop of the person who has placed the curse upon you. You will then be released from his or her magickal power and the imprecation will immediately be turned back to the sender of the curse.

Current Moon Phase for Sept. 21: Waxing Moon

Crescent Moon

(waxing/44% illumination)

During this Moon phase, there is a slight slowing down of enthusiasm due to an emerging desire to produce tangible results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. There is still plenty of forward motion, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon phase favors gaining more information and the input of others to further your plans.

Pluto’s shift to forward motion tends to expose the powerful urges and transformative forces of this potent planet. Facing our unexpressed desires and fears is rarely comfortable, but shining light on the truth is more desirable than hiding in the shadows of unconsciousness. Abuses of power as well as environmental and economic issues may surface now, challenging us to commit to making painful but necessary changes.

Current Moon Phase for Sept. 14: Balsamic Moon

Balsamic Moon

(waning/8% illumination)

This is a time to rest, reevaluate and reflect, pulling back into yourself to reconnect with inner sources of strength. Now is not a time to initiate anything new. It’s a phase suited to spending time with friends and getting in touch with the “big picture.” A window of opportunity exists for seeing your life objectively and becoming aware of what is important to you. At this point, what are your dreams and aspirations? What larger goals can you aspire to that will bring vitality and excitement into your life? This is a time for resting and gaining inner strength to prepare for a new cycle.
