Circle of Friendship Spell

Items needed: One pink candle for each person you wish to befriend; one gold candle to represent yourself; one sprig of rosemary; one sprig of lavender.

Begin by placing each pink candle, evenly spaced, in a circle. In the center of the circle lay the rosemary and lavender sprigs in a cross formation. Place the gold candle next to the center of the cross. Take a few moments to relax. Visualize yourself and your circle of friends having a wonderful time.

Light the gold candle first, and then in a clockwise direction light each of the pink candles. Chant the following once for each friendship candle:

“As the stars above in darkness shine,
With a light that fills the heavens divine.
So bright with radiance our friendships glow,
Outshining the sun and dimming all foes.”

Allow the candles to burn for one hour and then extinguish. Repeat the spell every evening until the candles have burned out. Save the rosemary and lavender. It can be used later for friendship amulets.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 13th

Once you get through a caution-producing Mars-Saturn contra-parallel (1:40AM), you should be in the clear to accomplish most tasks on your to-do list. The Moon in Aquarius is once again your psychic and emotional guiding light to this 24-hour time-period. Add entries to your social calendar and widen your circle of friends. Put your heart and soul into global causes that synchronize with your philosophy of life.  Start gearing up for Mercury’s three-week retrograde cycle that begins 8 days from now on October 21. The Messenger of the Gods planet — ruling general health, communication and transportation themes — is beginning to slow down its daily speed until it becomes virtually motionless in Scorpio next weekend.  Soar like an eagle this evening in metaphysical studies, the arts and sciences as the Moon in Aquarius trines the Sun in Libra (10:47PM). Stop worrying about small potatoes and things you cannot control. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
