From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Thursday

Thursday (Thor’s day)

Planet: Jupiter

Colors: Purple, Deep Blue

Crystals: Amethyst, Lepidolite, Sugilite, Tin

Aroma: Melissa, Clove, Oakmoss, Jupiter Oil, Cinnamon, Musk, Nutmeg, and Sage

Herb: Cinquefoil

Ruled by the planet Jupiter and dedicated to Thor, god of thunder and agricultural work. His parallels in various European Traditions include Zeus, Taranis, Perun, and Perkunas. Magical aspects: controlled optimism, energetic growth, physical well-being, material success, expansion, money/wealth, prosperity, leadership, and generosity.

Thursday is the day of Jupiter, the largest of the planets and said to be the most powerful. Spellcasters would be wise to use this day for attempting wealth, success and prosperity spells. Thursday is also associated (in Greek mythology) to Thor – Thor’s day – and some even say that Jupiter and Thor are one in the same. Both are strong and powerful, yet wise and just.

Try a small prayer to Jupiter before commencing any ritual on Thursday as a sign of respect.
This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving luck, happiness, health, legal matters, male fertility, treasure, wealth, honour, riches, clothing, money, desires, business, group pursuits, joy, laughter, and expansion.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions after 8 PM EST today (5 PM to 9:15 PM PST). After that, the Moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Don’t believe everything you hear today. Rely on your own smarts and ability to be independent and think for yourself. Beware confusion in the media, in the news and with those who might try to sway you with their rhetoric or propaganda.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a poor day to make important decisions about how to share or divide something, especially if it’s valuable. For example, don’t agree to issues related to inheritances, shared property and insurance settlements because an element of confusion, possibly even deceit, exists. Wait for another day.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you have to go along to get along, which means you have to cooperate with friends and partners even though you might be suspicious about what they have to say. Give them the benefit of the doubt because perhaps they are misinformed? (Either they are, or they aren’t.) Tread carefully.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Double check issues at work. If you have to make an important business decision, make sure you have the correct facts because confusion and deceit are possible today. Be smart and double check banking figures as well. Take nothing for granted.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This could be a disappointing day for romance. Maybe you have to ask yourself if you were clear about your expectations? Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment. (People can’t read your mind.) Parents should be vigilant about their kids today, especially with harmful liquids.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be extra clear in all your communications with family members today because someone might misunderstand you or misinterpret what you want or what you mean. Likewise, you might get mixed signals from someone, because this is the classic day for confused communications. (Yikes.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a dreamy, confusing day. In fact, you might have trouble concentrating because your mind will drift off into fantasyland. In conversations with others, if you think something fishy is going on – it is. (It’s that kinda day.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful with all your financial transactions today; this includes shopping. This is because mistakes, assumptions and misunderstandings might occur, which directly or indirectly cost you money. Not good! You might also be tempted to spend too much money on something luxurious. Save your receipts. (And the box.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with Neptune and Venus. However, late in the day, things get “sensible” again. Nevertheless, for a good part of this day, you will be in a dreamy state of mind and subject to making questionable decisions. However, you will be interested in mystical and supernatural phenomena.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you feel sympathetic to others, which is why you will listen with sincerity to someone, and you might go out of your way to help them. Be careful you don’t give away the farm. And be careful you don’t fall for crocodile tears. Just saying.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Ideally, postpone major financial decisions for another day because today there are too many little things that might trip you up. You might not have the right facts. Someone else might not be straight with you. You might make financial decisions based on wishful thinking instead of analysis. Tricky day to shop.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will enjoy socializing with others today; however, you might feel that conversations with a friend or a member of a group are “off.” Most definitely, if you think someone is not being straight with you, you are probably right.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Natalie Morales (1985) shares your birthday today. You are adventurous, enthusiastic and fun-loving. You will push the sides of the envelope because you’re daring and bold. This year, service to others is your theme. Therefore, take care of yourself so that you can be a resource for others. Family and friends will turn to you for guidance and support.

Meteoroid expected to safely strike Earth’s atmosphere Sunday evening over France

From Fox News out of Chicago, Illinois, USA

A small meteorite roughly one meter in length is expected to safely strike Earth’s atmosphere over northern France around 10:00 p.m. ET on Sunday evening, the European Space Agency said.

The meteorite, dubbed Sar2667, will enter the atmosphere over Rouen, France, and should be visible in Belgium, the Netherlands, northern France, and southern England, according to the International Meteor Organization. 

It marks only the 7th time that astronomers have spotted an asteroid before it strikes Earth, a trend that the ESA attributes to “rapid advancements in global asteroid detection capabilities.” 

The last asteroid that was detected before breaching Earth’s atmosphere, 2022 WJ1, was spotted just four hours before lighting up the skies over Toronto, Canada, on Nov. 19, 2022. 

Small meteoroids like Sar2667 strike Earth every couple of weeks but aren’t a big danger to the planet.

Astronomers currently know of more than 1.1 million asteroids, about 30,600 of which qualify as near-Earth asteroids because their orbit brings them close to our planet, according to the ESA. 

NASA, the ESA, and other organizations around the world are stepping up their planetary defense capabilities in case a planet-destroying asteroid ever gets on track to strike Earth. 

Last year, NASA’s Dart spacecraft destroyed the asteroid Dimorphos in a dress rehearsal of the agency’s kinetic impact technique.

    “Flickering fire, burning bright
    I share with you sweet dreams tonight.
    Beneath this moon, shining, glowing,
    Love for me is quickly growing,
    A heart is sweetened, change is near,
    The Universe smiles, Love is here!
    By the powers of the Earth, Wind, Fire and Sea,
    This is My Will and So It Shall Be!”

  • Allow the candle to go out on it’s own (or extinguish it if planning to re-use). Keep the jar by your bed when you sleep.
  • Light a candle and repeat the spell once a week with a tiny pinch of your sugar mixture.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today starts off upbeat and joyful! However, as the day wears on, you and people around you might be cranky. Frankly, if you have social plans, you will be better off celebrating on Friday. (Just saying.) Timing is everything.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This morning life looks promising. However, later in the day, you might find yourself having money squabbles or problems with debt, credit, disputed inheritances and insurance issues. Ouch. It’s a challenging day. (Things look better at the end of the week.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Practice patience and tolerance today when dealing with partners and close friends. This morning will be easy because everyone’s in a good mood. But as the day wears on, grumpiness sets in and tempers might flare. Just a thought: Friday night is a much better night to celebrate Valentines.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Work-related travel is likely for some of you, especially earlier in the day. You might be encouraged by working with groups because this will help you get a lot done. Difficulties with coworkers, pets and perhaps health issues might arise later in the day. And so it goes.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This starts out like a seriously feel-good day! You are up for fun and social occasions. (Many of you are celebrating Valentines.) The truth of the matter is that this week, Friday is a better day to go out and have fun. Do with that what you will. (I’m going out Friday.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This morning, you might get help from others or encouraging financial news that looks promising for you, your family situation or your home. A group might even gather where you live. However, as the day wears on, difficulties with authority figures (including parents) are challenging. Oh dear.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is one of those days. It begins on a happy note for you. You feel upbeat and warm to others. “Hail fellow, well met!” However, as this day wears on, you might find yourself at odds with siblings, relatives and neighbours. You personally might feel grumpy. That’s no fun. (Friday is a fun day.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Business and commerce are favoured this morning; in fact, money issues look promising! Nevertheless, this day turn’s completely around because later in the day, squabbles about money, property and possessions will likely take place. Bummer.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which means you have an edge over all the other signs. In fact, this morning you feel upbeat and encouraged about social possibilities perhaps a date on Valentines? Actually, the truth of the matter is that Friday is a much better day to celebrate Valentines than today. Factoid.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You feel quite content this morning, even hopeful. Unfortunately, as this day wears on, you will experience some dark clouds on your horizon. Arguments with work colleagues along with health issues and problems with pets might be a handful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Power breakfasts and lunch meetings will go well today because you are a happy camper, especially dealing with friends and groups. However, later in the day, romantic squabbles as well as difficulties with kids are a challenge. (Note: Friday is a lovely day to celebrate Valentines.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You make a wonderful impression on bosses, parents and VIPs today. In fact, discussions earlier in the day might lead to a boost in your income. (We like!) Trust your moneymaking ideas. However, as the day wears on, difficulties with family members might arise. Chaos and challenges on the home front are likely. Cope as best you can.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Enrico Colantoni (1963) shares your birthday today. You are saucy, playful and forever youthful. You have your own particular style. You’re willing to try new things and test the limits. This year is full of exciting changes and a chance to expand your personal freedom. Explore new opportunities. Trust your intuition. You might travel more.

February 14, 2023 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the February 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
