Current Moon Phase for August. 5th – Waning Crescent

Crescent Moon

(waning /6% 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.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 29th

Our senses rule our feelings today once the Moon slides into earthy Taurus at 12:42 am EDT. We’re less likely to react impulsively when the laid-back Taurus Moon opposes restrictive Saturn this morning. It may even feel as if our forward progress has stalled. Thankfully, love is in the air because the Moon forms a harmonious Grand Trine with romantic Venus and passionate Pluto. Even with the stress of the day, we can still find time for pleasure.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Let your love light shine since your current strength is not your ability to overpower an adversary, but rather your willingness to respect him or her in spite of your differences. Even if you feel combative, it makes no sense to fight fire with fire. Meet your opposition with sincere appreciation and charm, not angry words or threatening actions. Love more; fear less.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s no fun to encounter obstacles in your path, but the Moon’s return to your determined sign gives you an extra dose of courage today. Recognizing that you’re the source of the resistance you now face empowers you to improve your fortune. Instead of worrying about why you can’t find satisfaction, take a chance by showing others how much you care. A small heartfelt gesture may be all that’s needed to tilt someone’s affections your way.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might have overbooked your day with too many things to do. It sounded like a great idea when you first committed to such a busy schedule, but you may feel like slowing down as the day progresses. Ultimately, the amount of items you cross off your checklist today won’t impact your life in the long run. Instead of worrying about what you didn’t do, concentrate on being present in the here and now. Others will understand if you need to shuffle your priorities as long as you keep them informed of the changes.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Sometimes it’s difficult to stand in the spotlight and be seen for what you bring to the party. Since you don’t often toot your own horn, it may feel extremely empowering to do it now. Don’t be afraid of letting everyone know about your skillful expertise. However, the best way to inform them is not with words; it’s through direct action. It’s time to proudly walk your talk and receive the recognition you deserve.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may want to take the day off even if you didn’t exert yourself that much over the weekend. You might feel like you’ve overextended your limits, leading you to think you have to clean up an interpersonal mess that you inadvertently created. Just remember that your intentions are most powerful when you aren’t in denial. There’s no need to create a convoluted story to justify your recent behavior. Being honest with others starts with first acknowledging the facts.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There’s magic in the air, filling your day with spiritual creativity. However, you may run into a wall today that requires you to stop and reassess your direction. Reaching your destination isn’t as simple as it might seem. You must be a co-creator in your own magic. Block out some time to meditate, listen to music or take a walk. But keep in mind that your mental process is what’s most important while you are doing these activities. Luckily, if you can visualize it now, then you can make it happen.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are feeling more practical now that the Moon is back in pragmatic Capricorn. You’ve had your fling — real or imagined; now it’s time to get back to work and move your career objectives ahead again. But this isn’t about giving up your heart’s desire because your needs are too strong to deny. You could end up being self-indulgent if you only feed your senses. However, converting your passions into acts of artistic and romantic creation is a better way to use the energy. Don’t be satisfied with anything less than awesome today.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s all about relationships now, but your interests aren’t limited to romantic involvements. There is a desire on your part to spend time with a companion who is willing to help untangle the threads of your sometimes all-too-complex life. Your current need for simplification reveals how far away you are from living the uncomplicated life you desire. Nevertheless, with a little help from a loyal friend you can create a workable plan to get back to basics. Confiding in someone you trust makes all the difference in the world.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It may seem like the party’s over today, but you’re not done having your blast of summertime fun. It’s just that your previous path has come to an end as the energy is playing itself out. Everything feels as if it’s winding down now. But maybe this is more of a necessary intermission than the end of the show. Catch up on your responsibilities so you’re ready for the next act when it begins.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Very real steps can be taken toward relaxation and romance today, but you must keep your wits about you if you want to be successful. Don’t worry; you’re not about to be swept off your feet by love. There’s very little chance that you will forget your earthly commitments even if you go chasing rainbows now. Consider what you need to be happy and then move with determination toward making your dreams come true.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may attempt to dance your way around an important issue today, but, ultimately, you must face the question of timing, sooner or later. Sooner is better. Even though you prefer relying on cool logic over irrational emotions, trust your gut instincts instead. Don’t waste valuable energy justifying what you want to do. You know what you need. Turn off the words and open up your heart.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Keep the entire forest within your vision now, even if you’re overly attached to one particular tree. Try not to make a fuss over the circumstances that are attracting you to the most special thing in your world. The woods are full of all kinds, shapes and sizes of trees, shrubs and grasses. Naturally, you can’t touch every one of them, but you can employ your imagination to explore the incredible variety. Your life is a spectrum of possibilities waiting to be discovered.

 

The Royal Babies' Astrology Chart (I just had too!))

The Royal Baby Has Arrived

Exploring the Astrology of England’s future king

Maria DeSimone

Maria DeSimone on the topics of leo, cusp, celebrities, cancer, astrology

 

Its official, Kate Middleton and Prince William have welcomed their newborn prince into the world — a healthy boy weighing in at 8 pounds 6 ounces. His name hasn’t been released yet, but his horoscope is firmly written in the stars. What follows is a brief overview explaining the latest member of the royal family’s potential, as explained by his Astrology.

This royal cusper caused some confusion as many astrologers thought he may be a Leo! But it turns out Wills and Kate’s boy was born when the Sun was in the final degree and minute of the sign Cancer. This 29th degree in Astrology is known as a critical degree and does suggest that this little prince will have a certain amount of karmic responsibility in the domestic arena … no surprise there! Obviously this child was born with significant history and big shoes to fill. Based on the degree of his Sun sign he will surely take his role seriously.

A Full Moon, baby!

At the time of his birth, the Moon was also in the final degrees of Capricorn, right before a Full Moon in Aquarius. For all intents and purposes, the prince is a Full Moon baby which adds to the “fulfillment” role he will have in terms of domestic responsibility. How interesting that his mother was born with the very same opposition between the Sun in Cancer and Moon in Capricorn! Furthermore, there’s a remarkable array of four planets is in the sign Cancer at the time of his birth — and all of them are placed in the 8th House of Deep Transformation. With lucky Jupiter, assertive Mars, and intellectual Mercury posited in this sensitive water sign (along with the Sun), we can be sure that the new prince will have an intuitive and extremely intense mind and character. His memory will be strong and his gut instinct a force to be reckoned with. He will crave privacy and security which may prove troublesome for someone destined to be in the public eye.

Like mother, like son

Another extraordinary link in his chart has to do with the shift of Venus into Virgo on the day he was born. This suggests a soul who will be extremely service oriented and humble. Since Venus is opposite Neptune, he’ll have a vivid imagination and will be prone to idealism. He’ll certainly be someone with great faith! Another fascinating tidbit about the degree of his Venus is that it falls on the fixed star Regulus which is a royal star in Astrology. Many royal figures have planets or angles prominently placed at the 29th degree of Leo or first degree of Virgo. This star literally means “Little King” and will endow the native with a will to reign. He may run into some confusion about how to express his power since Venus does oppose Neptune in the communication axis (3rd House of Communication and 9th House of Big Ideas). However with Venus at a gorgeous angle to Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, he will surely have his heart in the right place.

The Moon in his chart makes a loose, out of sign square to Saturn which will deepen his emotions even more, amplifying the effects of a sober Capricorn Moon.  The authoritative influence in his life may feel overwhelming at times, yet this will also be the catalyst that leads him towards great success. Still, someone with four planets in sensitive Cancer in the deeply emotional 8th house may struggle with this Capricorn Moon square Saturn which demands a stiff upper lip.

A chart fit for a king

Another notable feature of the little prince’s horoscope is the fact that his Mercury placement is at the degree at which it turned direct only two days ago. This is a strong indicator that his mind will be especially clever and sensitive, although with a square to Uranus he may be prone to excitable communication when his emotions are triggered. His Mercury placement is near the fixed Star Sirius (14 degrees Cancer) which tends to bestow one with riches and fame. No surprise there.

Overall, the little prince has a chart of gold. Jupiter applies to an opposition to Pluto endowing him with tremendous power potential so this young man will be much more than a “poster boy” for royalty. Thankfully, the rest of his chart suggests he will use his clout for good.

Your Horoscopes for Sunday, July 21

Integrity is crucial now that the Moon is visiting hardworking Capricorn. Mountain Goats live at higher altitudes than other mammals, a symbol of the ambitious feelings we tend to have while the Moon is in this practical earth sign. Also, an enthusiastic Mars-Jupiter conjunction fires us up with self-confidence. We yearn to be recognized for the work we do and we aren’t afraid to climb the ladder of success to achieve status and get what we need.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s time to fulfill your domestic obligations or professional responsibilities and, if you do your job well, significant rewards are yours. The point is that you must earn them the good old-fashioned way with determination and hard work. It may be tempting to take a shortcut now, but this tactic will only delay your success. However, if you do what is required, good news could be waiting just around the next corner. In the meantime, honoring your commitments leaves you with a lasting feeling of personal satisfaction.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Even if you’re deeply involved with family issues now, you might have to adopt a more cautious approach to what’s going on at home. At first, it seems like you’re choosing the easy way out but this strategy only buys you time, not answers. Eventually you have to take a stand for your beliefs. Nevertheless, it’s still useful to remember that petty conflicts are not worth feeding with negativity. Rather than acting on your fears, visualize the best possible outcome for all involved and then strive to make it happen.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may wake up on the wrong side of the bed today, thinking about all the responsibilities being piled upon you. There’s no need to be silent; speak up if you don’t think you should be doing what’s being asked of you now. But don’t do the work begrudgingly and then whine about it later. Instead, find a project that makes your heart sing. Doing something you love elevates your self-esteem and is ultimately good for those around you, too.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Feeling stress from a relationship has you questioning your own motives today, along with everything else. You don’t know what to say in order to delay an emotionally disruptive interaction but nearly any action is likely better than doing nothing at all. Don’t waste energy dancing with self-doubt; it’s simply not productive. Instead, use your time to isolate what matters to you before stating your position and then doing what it takes to defend it.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re slightly annoyed today because you feel as if you should be working on something even if you don’t know exactly what it is. Thankfully, your dilemma might not even be noticeable to others, but it still can add frustration to your day. An obvious solution is to just jump in and get busy; start by crossing some of the lingering items off your to-do list one at a time. Once your adrenaline kicks in, you’ll quickly develop a better idea of how you want to spend your time.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are quite aware of your social obligations now and you are resigned to fulfill them, no matter what it takes. This determination may bring up familiar issues about your need to meet the expectations of others and how this can get in the way of your own personal satisfaction. But the good news is that you are on a sensible track to take care of unfinished business. Fortunately, staying focused early in the day leaves you time to pursue your own interests later on.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Applying your energy toward projects around the house is nurturing for your soul today. However, frustration might set in if the good times seem to be a step or two away. Nevertheless, a pragmatic approach makes the most sense now; there are things to be done and you’re the one to do them. Acknowledging the feelings that surface while fulfilling your responsibilities is empowering. Ultimately, you can enjoy yourself if you remain conscious about the choices you make throughout the entire day.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have places to go and people to see now that the ambitious Capricorn Moon is moving through your 3rd House of Distractions. Unfortunately, your calendar may be so full that you don’t get to do what you want. Instead of keeping your desires to yourself, share them with those around you. It’s difficult to go out on a limb and talk about you own needs when others are relying on you. However, being honest about your wishes is a healthier strategy now than denying your feelings to meet everyone else’s expectations.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are so smooth at justifying your decisions today that others might think your actions are based upon your strong personal values. You’re adept at keeping your feelings hidden now, making it nearly impossible for anyone to see your real motives. However, your current choices are probably determined by your emotional needs rather than core beliefs or ethical judgments. There’s no need to waste energy covering up what’s in your heart. Fortunately, telling the truth can actually set you free.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s a mixed blessing when the Moon activates your sign for a couple of days. Normally, the evocative Moon draws you toward your emotions. However, you may be keeping your feelings to yourself now. Try to hold steady in the practical world instead of letting your fluctuating moods get the upper hand. If you must express what’s in your heart, take your time. A thoughtful disclosure can positively impact your most significant relationships.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Almost anything that isn’t out in the open now can be the source of great stress. For example, someone may be creating trouble behind your back to block your forward movement. The smartest move is to expose whatever is hidden so everyone can see what’s actually going on. However, it’s not wise to force an issue yet because you might not have all the facts at your disposal. It’s best to play the waiting game until others come to the same realization; in the meantime, prepare to swing into action on a moment’s notice.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be quite creative today, but it’s challenging to locate an outlet for your bursts of spontaneous expression. Fortunately, you can reveal your current enthusiasm by sharing what’s in your heart. However, you might feel external resistance to what you’re trying to express. Cool your heels if you must, but don’t blame your inhibitions on anyone else. Taking full responsibility for your self-restraint places you in the driver’s seat where you belong.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 21

Today should be easier to handle than yesterday. However, it is always important to remember that the major alignments and cycles from a previous 24-hour time-period don’t simply vanish. Instead, they have ramifications for another day or two — at the minimum. Nevertheless, human beings become severely debilitated if they wallow in self-pity rather than dealing with the Now and working cogently with the cosmic offerings of the moment.  Thus, it is helpful to tune into spiritual willpower and mental concentration to turn your life around for the good as the Moon makes its monthly union with Pluto in Capricorn (3:14AM PDT). Utilize your problem-solving skills to enhance your residence and bring estranged relatives back to the bargaining table as Pallas enters Cancer (6:02AM PDT) until September 11.  Keep working hard to reach a career milestone with the Moon transiting through the tenth sign of the zodiac. A distinct challenge arises at 8:54AM PDT (during the monthly Moon-Mercury opposition) as the lunar orb starts another long void twilight zone that lasts until 11:08AM PDT tomorrow when the Moon enters Aquarius. The Full Moon is also tomorrow and occurs just 9 minutes after the Moon glides into the universal air sign of Aquarius.  In the meantime, do your best to be more loving and considerate to dear ones on the ropes as the Sun forms a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree link to Venus (5:12PM PDT) while Ceres is parallel to often benevolent Jupiter (10:34PM PDT) — a favorable aspect that can increase your productive output across the board despite the presence of the void Moon.  Get ready for a powerful Mars-Jupiter conjunction at 6 degrees of Cancer at 12:36AM PDT tomorrow.

Gardnerian Traditional Witchcraft –B.14. Skyclad (1953) c.2013

Gardnerian Traditional Witchcraft –B.14. Skyclad (1953)

B.14. Skyclad (1953)
It is important to work naked from the start, so it becometh as second nature, and no thought of “I have no clothes” shall ever intrude and take your attention from the work.  Also, your skin being so accustomed to unconfinement, when power is given off the flow is more easy and regular.  Also, when dancing you are free and unconfined. . . .
And the greatest of all, the touch of the body of your beloved thrills your inmost soul, and so your body gives out its utmost power; and then it is most important of all that there is not the slightest thing to divert the attention, for then the mind must seize and mold the power generated, and redirect it to the desired end with all the force and frenzy of the imagination.
It has been said that no real knowledge may be gained our way, that our practices are such that they can only lead to lust; but this is not really so.  Our aim is to gain the inner sight, and we do it the most natural and easy way.  Our opponents’ aim is ever to prevent man and woman from loving, thinking that everything that helps or even permits them to love is wicked and vile.  To us it is natural, and if it aids the Great Work it is good.
‘Tis true that a couple burning with a frenzy for knowledge may go straight to their goal, but the average couple have not this fire.  We show them the way, our system of props and aids (i.e., magic ritual).  A couple working with nothing but lust will never attain in any case; but a couple who love each other dearly should already be sleeping together, and the first frenzy of love will have passed, and their souls will already be in sympathy.  If the first time or two they do stay a while to worship Aphrodite, ’tis only a day or two lost, and the intense pleasure they obtain only leads them again to the mysteries of Hermes, their souls more attuned to the great search.  Once they have pierced the veil they will not look back.
This rite may be used as the greatest of magics if it be done with both partners firmly fixing their minds on the object and not thinking of sex at all.  That is, you must so firmly fix your mind on your object that sex and all else are naught.  You inflame your will to such an extent that you may create a strain on the astral such that events happen.

 

The US Postal Service and Uranus square Pluto

The US Postal Service and Uranus square Pluto

The square between these two transformational planets is already happening!

Maria DeSimone

Maria DeSimone on the topics of uranus, pluto, astrology
In case you haven’t heard, the US Postal Service is about to implement a drastic change. In an attempt to save the organization from its financial crisis, an announcement was made that effective August 2013 there will no longer be mail delivery on Saturday. The estimated annual savings they’ll accrue from this landmark decision is about $2 billion annually.

Sure, it might take some getting used to. In fact, this change might seem like a radical and sudden blow to “old school” Americans who rely on their daily dose of snail mail. But we live in a digital age and as a result, a vast majority of Americans pay their bills online. To that end, the rise of E-commerce is the main reason why packages will continue to arrive on your doorstep on Saturday despite the major change to regular mail.

The USPS — Uranus Square Pluto Surprises

So what does this have to do with Astrology? Interestingly enough — everything! As you might have already heard, we’re in the midst of a cataclysmic shift in society due to the planetary connection between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. Uranus is all about breaking up the status quo. Uranus tends to do this in a most sudden and disruptive fashion but when he’s in Aries — oh boy is it immediate! This is about exercising your individual autonomy — a potentially dicey situation when you’re looking at collective shift.

Pluto is about destruction and elimination. Pluto knows when something has died and needs eradication from your personal space in order to help you move onto bigger and better things. The death phase is not always easy. However, once you’ve endured it, you can usually appreciate that you would not be where you are unless you let go of what no longer could be. In the sign Capricorn, we’re dealing with large government structures and corporations … in other words, big business and big politics. The power behind the “big wigs” is now under intense scrutiny. Where we as individuals once felt powerless under the clout of such potent figures, suddenly we’re ready to give them all a good old slap in the face thanks to Uranus in Aries.

The status quo is shifting

We’ll all get a healthy dose of personal revolution thanks to the Uranus-Pluto squares activity until 2015, but this cycle can also be tracked collectively. In fact, the upheaval in government, political and corporate structures might be quite significant.

Without a doubt, the massive shift in how the US Postal Service runs its organization is a reflection of this incredible Uranus-Pluto energy. The government run agency (Pluto in Capricorn) is about to institute a revolutionary change in how they’re operating (Uranus) and it will affect individuals all throughout the United States (Aries). It’s interesting to note that the US Postal Service is the only self-supporting (Aries) government agency (Capricorn). They receive no tax dollars to help fund their operating expenses, relying exclusively on the sale of postage, products and services. How fascinating that the square between Aries and Capricorn energy reflects in the very essence of what the US Postal Service essentially is.

Change from the people

What’s also intriguing to note is that the single greatest factor that’s likely to contribute to the success of this decision is the overwhelming backing of the public (7 out of 10 Americans support this change). This phenomenon is due to a Uranian influence on the mailing system. Over the years there has been a significant decline in paper mail due to a majority of Americans turning to paying their bills online. Uranus, among other things, rules technology and the Internet. Fascinating, eh?

We can certainly assume that the remaining five exact mathematical hits of Uranus square Pluto between now and 2015 will result in even more memorable instances of government and corporate break downs and restructuring to better suit the individual. After all, that’s what the essence of this square is meant to achieve. The US Postal Service is a fine example of a government agency that’s doing what it must in order to survive. Uranus in Aries = every man for himself. Even if something in the corporate structure (Capricorn) has to die (Pluto) first. Like Saturday afternoon mail.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 6th

Rushing out of the starting gate as a jittery jockey on horseback is not advised — when Sagittarius Moon is still in a void twilight zone until 9:56AM PST. Once the clock strikes that moment, the Moon leaves void status and enters earthy, industrious Capricorn for the next two days. Hard work and determination are your dynamic duo leading to the professional Promised Land.  Add a little eccentricity and innovation to your daily routines as Venus forms a supportive, 60-degree liaison with revolutionary Uranus (11:09AM PST). Tap into your creative imagination in the arts, photography, film-video production, music and dance improvisation when Mercury unites with Neptune at 3 degrees of Pisces (3:01PM PST). This latter conjunction also encourages soul-searching and meditation.  One of the best evenings in a long time greets you with fanfare since lovely Venus trines auspicious Jupiter (9:59PM PST) — paving the way with a rainbow essence toward early tomorrow’s Moon-Venus parallel (1:22AM PST). Be a pleasure-seeker for a change of pace.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 14th

Bear down and stay in command of all your faculties as the cosmos lowers the boom with a cavalcade of celestial seasonings. One minute after midnight (12:01AM PST), Mercury makes a caustic, 135-degree link to Jupiter. This puts communications and travel plans into temporary disarray while the Moon in Aquarius remains in void mode until 2:50AM PST. Once the Moon enters Pisces at 2:50AM PST, the monthly lunar union with dreamy Neptune is next on the agenda (5:21AM PST). Write down visions in a special notebook as dreams can often foretell the future.  Watch out for over-optimism as Venus makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Jupiter (5:37AM PST). Logic and common sense come to the rescue as Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Saturn (10:28AM PST). Strive to add a sensitive and soothing touch to primary partnerships as Juno unites with Pluto at 10 degrees of Capricorn (2:18PM PST) while the monthly Moon-Chiron union takes place just a few minutes later (2:24PM PST).  More creative, artistic and nurturing vibes can appear when the Moon in Pisces forms a supportive, 60-degree tie with Venus in Capricorn (3:23PM PST). Your ingenious mind may be working overtime this evening — thanks to an inspirational, 72-degree link from Mercury to Uranus (7:01PM PST).  Interest grows concerning holistic healing modalities and alternative medical therapies as Jupiter squares Chiron from Gemini to Pisces (10:11PM PST). Meditate for peace of mind and emotional serenity.
