Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 9th

Keep a notebook by your bed to record dreams, visions and out-of-the-body excursions as the Moon makes a sextile of 60-degrees to Neptune (12:57AM). Feelings of deja vu and telepathic communications abound as the Moon and Chiron connect via 60-degrees (2:07PM).  The trend of high-level thinking and psychic advancement continues as Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree to Uranus (3:49PM). Mercury in association with its higher-guardian planet Uranus can open wide the gates of knowledge and wisdom.  The Moon is in earthy Taurus all day and a late-evening 60-degree connection by the lunar orb with Jupiter (10:49PM) are steering you toward golden opportunities — especially in the fine and graphic arts or along literary-educational lines.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 4th

The Moon starts off this day void in Aquarius, but Pisces Moon clocks in at 8:59AM. Learn more about advances on the cutting edge of alternative medicine as Venus forms a 45-degree tie with Chiron (11:09AM). The Moon unites with Juno in Pisces (11:32AM) and places a strong emphasis on improving love bonds. Interest grows in fashion and style.  Strange forces are on the prowl over several hours due to Mercury making a potentially confusing, 45-degree contact with Neptune (12:17PM) while Mars parallels Chiron (12:24PM), the Sun forms a contra-parallel to Jupiter (23:37PM), and the Moon conjuncts far-out Neptune (2:27PM).  Keep in mind that parallels and contra-parallels — tracked relative to the Celestial Equator and moving north or south — can be just as meaningful as zodiacal aspects. Overdoing a good thing can land you in hot water. Stick to arts, crafts and hobbies for entertainment and avoid major financial decisions.

The Witches Magick for Jan. 1st – To Conjure A Vision With Fire

Witchy Comments & Graphics
The Witches Magick for January 1st

To Conjure A Vision With Fire

To work this spell, gather some apple peel, dried leaves of chrysanthemum, and rosemary. You’ll also need one white feather. Cast the peel, chrysanthemum leaves, and rosemary into the flames and say:

“Life and death,

Fire’s breath,

Flames crackle and flare,

Let me see

A face, a name, or sign upon the air.

Smoke gray, smoke white,

Let me see my future this night.”

With the feather, fan the smoke gently, letting it curl about you. Gaze at the fire and smoke for as long as you wish, looking for signs. Leave the fire to burn for the rest of the evening. As a sign of gratitude, leave the feather before the hearth or on the fireplace mantel.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, December 31

As suggested in the calendar entry for yesterday, 2013 is ending with a proverbial bang rather than a whimper. During this morning’s void Moon in fiery Sagittarius (lasting until 10:02AM), Mercury unites with Pluto in Capricorn (3:27AM), the Sun forms a supportive, 60-degree link with Chiron (3:37AM) while Mercury squares Mars (7:00AM).  While the void lunar uncertainty cycle could weaken each of these alignments, it is still important to note that any Mercury-Pluto conjunction suggests the need for you to tune into spiritual willpower and mental concentration to be more successful in business-professional pursuits. The Sun-Chiron connection is definitely a boost for healing interests across the board. Mercury squaring Mars usually manifests with verbal sparring or a rising tide of irritability that can easily pass from one person to another almost like a virus. Hopefully, the Moon entering rock-solid, salt-of-the-earth Capricorn at 10:02AM can act as a catalyst — vaulting you away from the earlier psychic skirmishes and toward making distinct progress on your higher path to worldly achievements.  Even though January 1, 2014 tomorrow is bringing in a lot of underworld-oriented Plutonic themes and archetypes (via lunar and solar conjunctions with Pluto), the asteroid Juno manages to make headlines late tonight as this smallest of the first four asteroids to be discovered enters compassionate and empathic Pisces (11:15PM) until March 3. Juno’s presence in the last sign of the zodiac could be the nurturing, peace-loving antidote to the Plutonic surge of intensity and potential volatility that can arrive as humanity enters the portal of 2014.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 5th

If there is a choice between placing an emphasis on business or pleasure today, keep your main focus on the former. Capricorn Moon is a good time of the month to keep rising to the top of your professional hierarchy.  Primary partnerships and emotionally-sensitive relationships are more dicey during this 24-hour time-span as Juno makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link with giant Jupiter (9:13AM), Venus forms an abrasive, 45-degree tie with Chiron (9:21AM) while Vesta eventually opposes Uranus (11:27PM). You can still be a creative whirlwind — especially in the fine and graphic arts — since the Moon makes its monthly rendezvous with Venus (1:47PM). Add entries to your social calendar, and know that you can command the respect of your colleagues and competitors.  An evening challenge concerns the Moon forming a trine to Mars in earth signs (9:33PM) that somehow misses a beat in the sense that it starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 10:54PM. It’s at this latter time that the Moon enters the universal air sign of Aquarius. Immerse yourself in a literary classic overnight or tune into the historical roots of esoteric philosophy, metaphysics, astrology and kindred subjects.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Nov. 29th

Despite a fairly favorable 72-hour time-span — offering humanity a lot of opportunities for forward progress during Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday just past — the last 48 hours of this month seem more stormy than calm. The Moon in Libra square to Venus in Capricorn (3:15AM) equates with a rise in emotional turmoil, and this 90-degree face-off is given extra intensity as it starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 8:04PM.  During this 16+ hour lunar limbo time-span, moody behavior may be more rampant than usual as Juno in Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio (5:25AM) while Mars forms a contra-parallel with Chiron (7:34AM). The Juno-Saturn clash is hard to sugar coat as it suggests a rise in temporary rude behavior — possibly affecting lovers as well as business associates and partners. The Mars-Chiron interaction is another forceful challenge that can heighten dis-empowerment — especially emotionally and mentally — in key relationships across the board.  One saving grace — happening several hours later — is an inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to Mars (1:26PM). However, this lone, favorable aspect doesn’t have the gravitas to counteract the three discordant aspects already spreading discontent like a virus.  A type of panacea arrives tonight when the Moon ceases to be void as it enters intense Scorpio (8:04PM) for the next 2+ days. Watch your dreams overnight for clues about the future as the Moon trines Neptune in water signs at 12:40AM tomorrow. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

The Witches Magick for November 29th – Empowerment Spell

Empowerment Spell

Use to increase power and use it wisely.

You will need:

Orange candle

High John the Conqueror oil

The best time to cast this spell is at midnight on a Full Moon, but if you don’t want to stay up that late, you can work it at any point on the Full Moon night or on a Sabbat.

Since you are asking to draw in power, be sure you are firmly grounded and centered before casting this spell and that the space you are working in is protected. Unlike some of the spell where it makes little difference whether or not you start by casting a formal cycle, in this case you should do so. This is not a spell to take lightly.

Cast your circle, ask for help from the four quarters, invoke the triple Goddess of your choice, then anoint the candle with the High John Oil. Be sure you are centered before reciting the spell.

As my craft I work to hone
At this deep and sacred hour
I call on Maiden, Mother, Crone
To send me wisdom, strength and power.
 
Lend me power for my spells
Power for work and power for play
Send wisdom so I’ll use it well
Growing in power every day.
So Mote It Be
 

When you finish saying the spell, visualize power and energy spilling down the moonlight and into your body. Stay in the circle for as long as it takes to feel done. Then be sure to say thank you before dismising the circle.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, Nov. 20th

Yesterday’s Chiron station is still having repercussions through the psychic atmosphere because it is still virtually motionless while no longer retrograde. Meanwhile, interest continues to grow in a wide variety of healing techniques as Mercury trines Chiron (2:17AM). This positive alignment occurs while the Moon is compromised by being void in Gemini until 3:24AM.  Once the lunar orb enters Cancer (3:24AM), turn your attention to dealing with important home and family concerns. Spruce up your kitchen and bath areas. Cooking and baking are back in style. Learn more about your family tree and take a stroll down memory lane by looking through old photo albums and school yearbooks. Investment planning receives a notable boost as Vesta forms an inspirational, 72-degree link with usually benevolent Jupiter (9:37AM).  Your psychic sensitivity can grow by leaps and bounds as Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree tie with Pluto (6:10PM) while the Moon in Cancer orchestrates the building of a Grand Triangle in water signs by forming flowing trines with Chiron in Pisces (9:44PM) and Mercury in Scorpio (11:56PM). Any Grand Triangle has the capacity to open up the sixth sense in human beings — allowing the hidden dimensions of divinity to become temporarily visible for those whose consciousness is resonating to life in the spirit realms.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 17th

Rise to the occasion as the monthly enlightening Full Moon — energizing 26 degrees of Scorpio and Taurus — clocks in at 7:17AM. Individual and group meditations are encouraged. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to loved ones, friends, associates, humanity and the kingdoms of nature. Reflect more on your higher destiny in this lifetime and how you can be an ambassador of goodwill instead of fulfilling personal desires.  You may have quite a few hours to continue in a contemplative mode since the exact time of the Full Moon (7:17AM) begins a void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 4:08PM. Let go of any stubborn behavior patterns that are holding you back from making breakthroughs in higher consciousness. Find time for lunch at a favorite cafe and visit a museum, art gallery or national landmark for a change of pace.  Once the Moon switches gears from earthy Taurus to airy Gemini (4:08PM), focus your attention on reading, writing and research. Start preparing for Chiron’s station in Pisces on Tuesday as it leaves retrograde motion to turn direct. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, Nov. 16th

Like yesterday, this Saturday is a 24-hour time-period when you ought to be preparing for tomorrow morning’s potent Full Moon. Healing forces are back on the march — thanks to supportive, 60-degree tie from the Moon to Chiron (12:02AM). Love vibrations increase in frequency as the Moon in Taurus trines Venus in Capricorn (2:08AM). A Pallas-Neptune polarity stretching from Virgo to Pisces (2:24AM) can assist you in sorting truth from fiction concerning the secret teachings of ancient civilizations that originate in ancient Egypt and the legendary lost continent of Atlantis.  While the Moon in Taurus is often an aid for figuring out budgetary needs, some caution is advised on the financial and investment fronts as Vesta makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Saturn (6:50AM). Psychological tensions are still palpable in the afternoon due to the Sun forming an abrasive, 45-degree link with Pluto (4:12PM). Fine-tune your golf swing, tennis backhand or hook shot as the Moon trines Mars (6:37PM). Improvise on a favorite musical instrument tonight under the creative aegis of Mercury making a parallel to Neptune (9:04PM). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.
