February 3, 2023 Daily Horoscopes

Moon Alert

Until 10 PM PST tonight, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Around this time (yesterday, today or tomorrow), you might have an argument with a friend or a member of a group. You might even separate from this friend or group because you are undergoing disruptions dealing with others. Someone’s behaviour might have created an upsetting situation for everyone.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a poor time to challenge parents, bosses, teachers and the police because you will be at loggerheads with them. It’s actually a classic time for breakdowns in relationships. Perhaps you want to rebel against the restrictions that others are placing on you? Or maybe they think you are unreasonable? It’s tough.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Sudden travel changes are likely for you at this time. This could indicate cancellations and delays, or a sudden demand that you travel. (Could go either way.) For others, arguments about politics, religion or racial issues might erupt. Sudden changes with the law, medicine and publishing are also likely.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Keep an eye on your money, mortgage arrangements or anything to do with your debt because something unusual might suddenly impact these areas. A financial agreement about an inheritance or shared property might suddenly break down. Stay on top of what’s happening (especially if posse is after you).

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a disruptive time for your sign. Sudden arguments with partners and close friends might create problems for you. You might have to deal with an unexpected separation from someone. This is a hard time for people to compromise because they value their power and freedom.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Unexpected problems connected with your job might arise now. They could relate to your boss, a technical problem or a coworker. A sudden argument might prompt you to quit. Meanwhile, take care of your health because this is an accident-prone time for many.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a rocky time for romance. Many relationships might end. Sports accidents, sudden changes in social plans, and definitely accidents with your kids are highly likely. Therefore, parents must be extra vigilant. Know where your kids are. Be mindful of toddlers. No slip ups.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your home routine or your family dynamic is likely to experience interruptions and unexpected events. Home accidents, family arguments and a breakdown of equipment or appliances is likely. Stay calm and cope with skillful means. Work with what you’ve got.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone time for you. Short trips might be cancelled. (Alternatively, you might suddenly be forced to take a short trip.) Arguments with neighbours, siblings and relatives might erupt. Be mindful and patient.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep an eye on your money, cash flow and possessions because something unexpected might catch you off guard. You might find money; you might lose money. Harm or loss might come to something you own. Therefore, be vigilant and on guard.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a challenging time for you. It’s an accident-prone time. Your everyday routine will also be changed. You might feel rebellious against restrictions from others. You might break up from a relationship. Something unexpected might create a situation that you suddenly have to deal with.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You feel very restless at this time. You need fresh air! You need the freedom to do what you want to do and to be able to express yourself. This is why you might have an argument with someone. Caution against doing something rash that you might later regret. Expect to have difficulty with authority figures.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Nathan Lane (1956) shares your birthday today. You are intelligent, compassionate and resilient. You know what to say. By nature, you are optimistic and always busy. This is a good year to rekindle old friendships. You will have a stronger zest for life and a desire to socialize and enjoy yourself. Enjoy increased popularity!

February 3, 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 Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Spell for Today – Magickal Goody of the Day – Make Your Own Psychic Visions Oil c.2016

Magickal Goody of the Day

 

Psychic Visions Oil

4 tsp Lemon Grass Oil

2 tsp Bay Leaf Oil

1 tsp Nutmeg Oil

3 tsp Hazelnut Oil (or other carrier oil of your choice)

Unlike the Divination Oil, this Psychic Visions Oil is specifically created to help extend psychic visions to those who are not particularly prone to them. When the forehead is anointed with this mixture, it can cause the user’s psychic awareness to expand, which will manifest itself in dreams.

Time of the Old Woman begins (until 4 March)

 TIME OF THE OLD WOMEN, lasting up to March 4th, & considered dangerous, especially due to the weather. The Koran says the world will end during this time.

Filling the Granary – On the 25th day of the first lunar month, Chinese grain and rice-merchants make sacrifices to the Granary God (Cangshen). In earlier times, this was the day when everyone feasted on mutton, pork and beef. Blackburn, Bonnie and Leofranc Holford-Strevens, Oxford Companion to the Year, Oxford University Press 1999

St Walburga – This sixth century Anglo-Saxon nun, who became the abbess of the double monastery of Heidenheim in Germany, was also known as a grain protectress. She was depicted holding a sheaf of wheat and was considered a matron of good crops, farmers and pregnant women.

Apparently sheaves of grain dressed like a woman were called Walburga. A legend tells how she disguised herself in a sheaf of grain while fleeing from a pursuer. Her other feast day is Walpurgishnacht (Apr 30), the date her relics were translated, a Christian date superimposed over an old Germanic spring revel, honoring a fertility goddess.Berger, Pamela, The Goddess Obscured, Beacon Press 1985

Day of Frau Holle -A day held sacred by Odinists honoring the industrious nature of women and the rewards they reap for faithlessly helping their folk…often times Gods and Goddesses in peasants clothing. To quote the Havamal “Never mock a wandering man or a guest” Ruthee C Fenian Moon Productions 2002

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Hermit



The Hermit denotes a need to have some space between you and the everyday hustle and bustle of our busy world. The Hermit needs to retreat. Indeed, happiness for The Hermit requires seclusion, freedom from material wants, and time for intense introspection. The answers The Hermit needs cannot be found in our physical world. The truths he seeks are internal, spiritual, and the distraction of a well developed social life can only impede his quest for his personal truths. Still, although not anything remotely resembling extroversion, The Hermit does sometimes need to share time with others; so he can both learn and teach, guide and be guided. The Hermit’s time spent amongst people depletes his energy rapidly. To avoid mental and physical overload he has to retreat from social settings quickly.

Your Personal Daily Love Tarot Card

The Fool

You deserve a partnership that deepens as you get to know each other. Wait for the person who has risen above commitment immaturity if commitment is your desire. The Fool reminds us that dating someone is not a mistake. It is falling in love and marrying them if it is not right. If your long-term relationship is encountering a difficult patch, now is the time to work together to rebuild.

Your Personal Daily Erotic Tarot Card

The Judgement

The Judgement card indicates that you’ve had some sexual hang-ups in the past, but you’re working toward getting over them. This is a period of transition, and although you’re doing the work, you may not be getting the exact results you desire. Forgive yourself for past missteps in order to take a sexual step forward today. Being afraid to express your true erotic self can even effect other areas of your life, so getting beyond your sexual inhibitions translates into a happier overall existence.

Psychic Tip of the Day

NEW SURPRISE
Your first big shock of the new year has arrived. It could be a welcome relief, but you may not know what to do with it. Were you expecting company?

Your Animal Spirit for Today

Porcupine

Porcupine has appeared in your reading today to bring a message of innocence and trust. Although Porcupine can throw quills when cornered, he is gentle, loving, and non-aggressive. Is there an area of your life that need Porcupine energy? Have you lost the ability to trust??

 

Daily Karmic Number

Brace yourself. The number 3 as it appears for you today signals that your spirit guides are close by, eager to help you with your needs. You have been on a path of taking care of yourself and your efforts are being rewarded. They have always been there, but you are in a position to sense them more now. Ask them for help with anything. Your mind, body, and spirit are integrated into a seamless unit. You are one with the Universe. Let the Universe benefit you as you send out your own positive energy.

Your Daily Charm

Today’s Meaning:
A course of events that cannot be altered has been set in motion within this aspect. Accept whatever happens in the near future and do not waste your time fretting about it–you can do nothing.

General Description:
This was a favorite charm in Egypt, worn in order to frustrate magicians, sorcerers and evil wishers from bewitching the wearer and stealing the soul from the heart; for it was the general belief that if the soul left the heart, the body would soon fade away and perish. The ancient Egyptians also believed that, after death, the heart was taken, in the underworld, and weighed against the symbols of the law; if found perfect, it was restored to the body, which at once came to life again and enjoyed everlasting felicity.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a gentle day and the perfect time to kick back and relax. You might want to choose quiet solitude with your favourite drink and past time. It’s your choice. Nevertheless, you also will enjoy entertaining at home or spending time with family members, especially females.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Enjoy interactions with siblings, neighbours and relatives today because everyone wants to socialize instead of work. However, those of you who write and explore creative avenues, will be productive today because you see beauty in your ideas as well as your everyday surroundings.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be careful shopping today because you will be tempted by many beautiful things. So many choices! So little money. (It’s tough having champagne tastes on a beer wallet.) Nevertheless, you might find a tiny reward for yourself? Beauty doesn’t always have a price tag.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with fair Venus, which will promote pleasant feelings between you and everyone around you. That’s why this is a good time to be with friends and get out and have a good time! You will love to see them, and they will love to see you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Solitude in beautiful surroundings might suit you today. Nothing lonely. Au contraire! You feel elegant and special. The thing is, you just want to avoid the insane busyness of the world around you – at least, for a little time. Let’s be civilized.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a wonderful day to schmooze with others. You will enjoy the company of friends; you will also enjoy the company of professional groups, clubs and associations. Admittedly, because everyone wants to have good time, you won’t get much work done. (Venus encourages laziness.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You make an elegant impression on others today because the Moon is high in your chart, which means people notice you more than usual. However, because the Moon is dancing with Venus, others will see you as attractive, charming and diplomatic, which indeed – you are.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is the perfect day to travel for pleasure, if you can possibly swing this. However, you might also indulge yourself by expanding your knowledge through books, movies and film. Grab any opportunity to do something different, which will excite you. Like a tiny zap.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Discussions about how to divide or share something (perhaps an inheritance or some jointly-owned property) will go well today because everyone is cooperative and friendly. Furthermore, both sides want to see fairness achieved. I suspect the results will please you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Although you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today because the Moon is opposite your sign; nevertheless, relations with everyone will be smooth and easy-going. This is an excellent day to discuss how to beautify your home. You will also want to entertain in style!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Don’t be hard on yourself if you don’t feel like working today. Do the bare minimum. This is a day for relaxation, socializing and enjoying beautiful surroundings. It’s also an excellent day for the arts and expressing your creativity. (Here, you will do much more than the bare minimum.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a wonderful day for creative, artistic people because you’re in touch with your muse. Reach out and explore new avenues. Delight in expressing your talents. This is also a strong and positive day for those involved in sports as well as those who work with children. Enjoy socializing! Romance will flourish!

If Your Birthday Is Today

US Pres. George Washington (1732-1799) shares your birthday today. You are a diplomat who values peace. You are intuitive, creative and determined. Without effort on your part, people notice you. This year it’s time to concentrate on your needs and what brings you happiness. Relationships might require extra kindness and helpfulness. In turn, you can ask for help, as well.

Spell – A- Day – Rune Meditation for Clearing Energy Flow c. 2011

 

Spell – A- Day – Rune Meditation for Clearing Energy Flow
Incense of the day: Peony
We have all felt the frustration of spells that flop. While it’s possible that a failed spell is just an indication that the universe has another agenda for you, it’s also very possible that there is a hidden obstacle in the energy flow. Issues with confidence and empowerment are among the greatest saboteurs that block energy. The runes of Ken (k), Haegl (h), and Gyfu (g) will be used in a guided imagery to open and uncover disruptions and to balance the chakra energy flow. Visualize Ken over the root chakra. Focus on opening the energies flowing from your root to your crown. Reveal any blockages by positioning Haegl over your root chakra. Visualize this rune uncovering disruptions as its energy flows to your crown. Return Haegl’s flow from the crown to the root, uncovering any “manifestation” blockages. Visualize Gyfu flowing from your root to your crown to balance your chakra energy. Focus on and journal any feelings or perceptions that you encountered. Reprogram any obstacles that were uncovered.

A Thought for Today – Daily Zen Thought c. 2011

If you want to perceive
And understand objectively,
Just don’t allow yourself
To be confused by people.
Detach from whatever you
Find inside or outside yourself.
Detach from religion,
Tradition, and society,
And only then will you
Attain liberation.
When you are not
Entangled in things,
You pass through
Freely to autonomy.

– Linji (d. 867)

Happy and Blessed Imbolc

To Those Of Your Celebrating Imbolc Today, May The Goddess Bless You On This Glorious Imbolc Morn’! c. 2019

It depends on your Tradition which day you celebrate Imbolc. We celebrated it yesterday and I know some of you might celebrate it today. We generally celebrate our Sabbats the day before for a reason. For instance, we celebrate Imbolc last night. We did our rituals, lit our fires, run out the old stale Winter air and the season, hopefully. We did some cleansing and we have a lot more to do today. We had a good feast and in spite of being so sleepy, we managed to stay up to greet the morning’s first light. The joy of celebrating the night before, it just unbelievable. You get to stay up and greet the new born Sun on one of the most glorious mornings of all, Imbolc. You can feel the freshness as the new born Sun comes over the horizon. As He rises His head and proclaims victory and Spring will return to us shortly. The magick courses through your veins and it seems you are recharged and ready to take on anything that comes your way. As the warmth of the Sun courses through your veins, you feel your magick grow and grow, till you feel like you are the most powerful witch on the face of Mother Earth.

We have made celebrating the Sabbats the night before a habit. If you have never done it, you need to try it. Just go outside and wait for the Sun to come up. You can feel the magick in the air as you welcome Him back. It is so magickal that you can actually hear the Sun talk back to you with His warm rays of light shining down upon you. I cannot explain it fully. It is something you have to experience for yourself. It re-generates your spirit and your soul. You feel the darkest of the Winter months fall off of you. You know when you see the Sun on this special day, it is a fresh start, a new season, a season of rebirth. It is truly a season for us to celebrate, the Sun has returned to us and with this we are promised the season of renewal and birth. Mother Earth is going to come back to life. The birds will sing, the grass will turn green, the flowers will bloom once again, life has come out of hibernation, it is awakening. Awakening to a new start, a new season, what a beautiful time of year this is. I can imagine you have figured out by now Imbolc is one of my favorite Sabbats.

Imbolc is a time for truly rejoicing. Go outside today and let the warmth of the Sun renew your spirit and fill your soul with the hope and joy the new season ahead holds for us.

Wishing You & Yours A Very Joyous & Beautiful Imbolc,

Lady of the Abyss

The Witches Magick for the 4th Day of the Barley Moon – Marigold and Sunflower Faery Magick

MARIGOLD AND SUNFLOWER FAERY MAGIC

 

This is the time when flowers are in bloom and the energy of faeries is everywhere. In this spell you are creating a faery circle as a way of bringing this fluorescent energy into your life.

You will need a pot of marigolds and thirteen sunflower seeds.

Place the pot of marigolds in a sunny location. Call to Mari, Queen of the Faeries, to protect and give life to the flowers:

Queen Mari, give life to this flower

That bears your name and glows

with your divine fluorescence.

Place the thirteen sunflower seeds in a circle around the marigolds. As you do so, call out to the faeries:

Marigolds and sunflowers,

Spread the magic of faery powers.

Care for the flowers during the month of the barley moon, making sure to give them the care and attention they need to thrive.

Flower Petal Spell Paper

Its time to break out the fun stuff guys! Magick User’s University is all about interesting crafts that can be useful during your travel through the world of Magick. Today, we’re going to focus on a project of making Flower Petal Spell Paper today in Spellcraft 101.
+ So what is Flower Petal Spell Paper?
Well, its a fancy name for paper with flower petals in it. There are a lot of great things you can use it for besides spellcraft, such as scrapbooking, making bookmarks, and other crafts. It all depends on how many flower petals you put in it, and exactly what purpose this paper is for.
+ Flower Petal Spell Paper +
The Flower Petal Spell Paper is great for spellcraft and writing, as well as looking generally beautiful for any papercraft you have in mind.
+ Materials +
Flower Petals (in any color!)
Any kind of paper (construction, newspaper, etc)
Scissors
Duct tape
Window screen (or anything like that)
Towels
Bowls
Blender
The Flower Petal Spell Paper will be used for a particular endeavor in particular: making earth spells. For these particular spells, you write out an endeavor, wish, or project that you would like to see come true or flourish, and then you bury the small spell paper in the ground in efforts to promote your desires! Its a great gift for someone, or just to keep for yourself. Below I’ll have a few suggestions written out in case you would like to present them as gifts.
+ One: Time for the hunt! Even as witches, most people are more likely to spend their time indoors (I know I do). So, time to go out and take a walk! Collect as many flower petals as you can! In efforts to help with my enthusiasm, I took a few plastic cups with me (along with my darling Lore), and we set out on the journey of collecting flowers.
 Beautiful red flowers! I fell in love with the the moment I saw them!
The mighty Lore Sagemaker, forced to pick cute yellow flowers. ♥
+ Two: After collecting your bounty, head back. Cut out a square of screen, and fold the duct tape around the edges to form a stable frame. If you want, you can use something like popsicle sticks to make a frame and tape around that.
+ Three: Once you’ve made your screen, tear up some paper and stick it in the blender. Cover it with enough water to saturate the paper. And then! Whirl away, until its a nice, thin porridge/oatmeal like substance.
As for me, I actually don’t own a blender, so I got to watch Lore use one of her top-notch cooking utensils and beat away. She did a good job.
You’ll actually want it a bit more thin than the end result here… but this was as good as we were getting without a blender. Anyway, it will work just fine, but the paper won’t be as fine and thin (though I was surprised at how nice it turned out regardless). At this point, mix in the flower petals with the soupy substance and get it nice and mixed in there. If you have anything else, like seeds, this is the time to do it as well! You can also add a hint of cinnamon in order to make it smell nice!
+ Four: Using a spoon, spoon some of the mixture onto the frame. Smooth it out, using the back of the spoon to press out some of the water through the screen. Make sure to push any of the mixture off the frame and onto the screen.
+ Five: After getting the mix onto the screen, very, very carefully tip the screen over onto a towel (mixture down). Put another towel over and and press down on it to get rid of the excess water. Hold it for at least thirty seconds, continually dabbing. Once you’ve cone that, very slowly peel the screen away, until on the towel you have this!
Pretty neat, huh? Continue this process until you’ve finished with all of the paper.
+ Six: Once you’ve finished, transfer them carefully to a cookie sheet and leave them to dry outside. And you’re done! Now you have it! Gorgeous flower petal spell paper!
So what do you do with it afterwards?
If you’re planning on giving it as a small little gift to a friend, something general and heartfelt is always a great way to go. You can even write them instructions on a separate sheet of paper, telling them what to do with the spell paper. Tear the sheets into thin strips. On the paper itself, in ink, you can write either a notion, or a spell! Listed below are a few ideas. Think about what the person you are giving it to might need and attempt to cater it to them!
Good Luck
Sweet Dreams
Fortune
Good Health
Make a Wish
“Bring _____ (their name) fortune and prosperity, By this spell so mote it be.”
“Buried deep into the earth, Grow the seeds of wishes true.”
You can present it to them anyway you’d like afterwards. The project is a bit of work, but when you see the end results and how beautiful it looks, it will be worth it! ♥

Bach Flower Remedies

Bach Flower Remedies

By

Definition: A brand name of flower essences created by an English physician and homeopath named Edward Bach in the 1930s.

Bach was said to have believed that negative emotions could worsen or lead to physical illness and that flowers had the potential to reduce emotional stress. Bach created 38 individual remedies, each associated with a negative emotional state, and a “rescue remedy,” which is recommended for panic, shock and emergencies.

Bach flower remedies are made by placing the flowers in a bowl of spring water and then leaving them to infuse in natural sunlight or boiling them in spring water. The flowers are then discarded and the liquid is preserved with brandy, diluted and then sold in small vials.

Bach flower remedies are found in many health food stores. They are typically taken by adding two drops of each desired remedy into a glass of water, which is then sipped.

Pronunciation: Bok
