Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions after 10:45 PM EDT today (7:45 PM PDT). The Moon is in Pisces.

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Today you will act with restraint and cautious, common sense. Many of you will choose to work alone or behind the scenes because you’re assessing things and wondering about your next move. You’re not afraid to speak up; but you’re giving thought to what you will say.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

*** Today you will express loyalty and support for someone older — either a friend or a charitable organization to which you like to support. Something unexpected might trigger your feelings of responsibility and obligations to others. After all, you care.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

** Tread carefully when dealing with authority figures today, which means talking to parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and even the police. Your dealings with them are not predictable. Something unexpected might occur. Fortunately, others will see you as conscientious and reliable.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Sudden opportunities to travel might fall in your lap today. Conversely, travel plans might be interrupted. It’s a crapshoot. Meanwhile, you will embrace traditional values when it comes to religious and political issues today because you believe the old ways are tried and true.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

** Tread carefully today because unexpected news from bosses or authority figures might impact your financial scene. This could relate to shared responsibilities, shared property, inheritances or banking issues. Stay on top of things so that you are not caught off guard.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

** Today you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Therefore, be ready to compromise. Having said this, unexpected opportunities to travel or encounter someone from another culture might catch you off guard. Stay light on your feet so that you can be flexible.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

** You are best served today by paying attention to your responsibilities related to your job, your work and even your health. Play by the rules. Do what is expected of you. Nevertheless, cancellations, delays and broken equipment might dog your footsteps. Be resilient.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

*** Your responsibilities to children and young people are important today and you will respect these. Others know they can count on you. Meanwhile, pay attention because this might be an accident-prone day for your kids. Social plans might suddenly change. Avoid sports accidents.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

** Small appliances might break down today or a minor breakage could occur because something will interrupt your home routine. Perhaps someone unexpected will knock on the door? Nevertheless, you are aware of your responsibilities to care for someone older – and you will.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign. However, it’s a good day to study and learn something new. Actually, someone older might have interesting news for you. Stay light on your feet because there’s an unpredictable element in the air today.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

** Keep your eyes open when it comes to your assets, your money and certainly your possessions because something untoward or unexpected could impact them today. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Do what you can to protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. On the upside, you might improve your job?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Uranus as well as lining up with both Saturn and Venus. This is a mixed bag. In one way, things are sudden, changing and unpredictable. Yet, in another way, you will toe the line and stick with what is tried-and-true. (Better safe than sorry.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, actress, director Barbra Streisand (1942) shares your birthday today. You’re a perfectionist and a humanitarian. You are kind, devoted and protective of loved ones. This year is the beginning of new adventures and major changes in your life. Keep your eyes open for new opportunities. Take action and define your goals. Prepare for leadership. Stay independent.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Thursday seems to bring a liberating and confident attitude for you and this means that you might finally get the courage to come clean with some things that have been troubling you for a while.

You might be viewing what you are going through in a different light and therefore you feel more compelled to change them.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A positive day for all those natives who are confident enough in their communication abilities and have no problem standing up in front of more than 2 people at a time.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The current disposition seems to allow you a lot more confidence when it comes to engaging with others and working with a diverse group.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This Thursday promises some good financial advancement but at the same time will see you tend to isolate yourself.

While some might do it to count their blessings, ahem, money, other might feel the need to take a more spiritual stance in front of what is happening to them at the moment. Some might even consider that some things are moving too fast.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It appears that the stars really want to control some of your choices and you will feel more inclined to do particular things, although logically you might vote against them.

April 24, 2025 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 25.93 days old and 18.21% illuminated with a tilt of -72.975°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 367,675.25 km and the moon sign is Pisces.

The Moon phase for today is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

Phase Details

Phase: Waning Crescent

Moon age: 25.93 days

Moon illumination: 18.21%

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.

April 18, 2025 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 19.71 days old and 79.53% illuminated with a tilt of -49.308°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 400,078.12 km and the moon sign is Sagittarius.

The Moon phase for today is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Charge Your Body In The Moonlight

You gotta let that moon magic in! If the weather isn’t gross and you have a nice, peaceful outdoor space (like a yard or deck) head outside. Otherwise, just open your curtains so moonlight can fill your space. Make sure to turn your lights off inside your house to be more intimately connected to the sky and help the moonlight cleanse your space.

Meanwhile, walking in the light of a full Moon can be magical. Its gentle glow can have a calming effect, leaving you feeling refreshed and renewed. Stand outside in the light of the full Moon and bathe in its power.

Allow your body to charge energetically using the light o the moon. Tune into how the trees and sky look in the moonlight. Pay extra attention to the sounds and smells of the night air.

April 13, 2025 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.54 days old and 99.96% illuminated with a tilt of 106.542°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 405,863.27 km and the moon sign is Libra.

The Moon phase for today is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).

The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.

The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.

All Signs

Life is “stirred up” and moving fast because almost half of the major planets are changing signs in the next few months. This is huge. (And some are moving into confrontational Aries.) Two weeks ago, Neptune entered Aries for the first time since 1862-1875; which is a preview of things to come because Neptune slips back into Pisces in October, returning to Aries in January 2026 to stay until 2039. Next week, Mars moves into Leo for two months. In June, Jupiter moves into Cancer; and in July, Uranus (planet of upheaval and revolution) also moves into Cancer, which happens to be the Sun Sign of both Canada and the US. (Yowzers!) Personally, I’m going to gas up my car; and make sure I have an extra bag of nachos and two cartons of Ranch dip.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week Mercury joins Neptune in your sign, which will make you busy and chatty! Meanwhile, your ruler Mars will soon move into the most fun-loving part of your chart for two months, making this the perfect time for vacations, creative adventures, fun activities with kids and competitive sports. Live it up! Later this week, the Sun moves into Taurus to stay for four weeks heightening your focus on money, cash flow, earnings and possessions. Examine your relationship to the resources in your life. Are you using what you own? Does your stuff serve your needs or vice versa? You will want to establish greater control of your life through the things that you value. It’s a reality check.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

There’s a lot happening right now. Next week Mars moves to the bottom of your chart to stay for the next two months stirring up energy at home and with family members. (Try to avoid domestic strife.) You’ll want to start shoving furniture around and make home improvements. Be patient with parents because this is a challenging influence. Fortunately, the Sun enters your sign on Thursday to stay for four weeks, which will boost your energy and help you make a great impression on everyone. You’ll feel a strong need to express yourself! Meanwhile, Venus in your House of Friendships will create cozy times with pals. “Who brought this wine?”

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Next week fiery Mars moves into your House of Communications to stay for two months, which means the pace of your everyday life will accelerate. You’ll identify strongly with your ideas, which means you might encounter arguments. Be careful not to coerce others into believing as you do. (“But I’m persuasive!”) Countering this, the Sun moves into a hidden part of your chart this week for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year, and will help you identify childhood behaviour patterns that are no longer appropriate. (Hey, you’re adulting now.) You can sense that your personal year is coming to an end, which makes this the perfect time to ask yourself how well you’re doing at the art of living.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Mercury is now at the top of your chart, urging you to make plans for your professional life, and think about whether you’re headed in the direction you want to go. This is an excellent time to undertake new studies, as well as talk to bosses and employers. Venus encourages travel for pleasure, and falling in love with someone “different.” Meanwhile, the next four weeks will be popular because the Sun is in your House of Friendships energizing your involvement with friends, as well as groups and organizations. This also arouses your idealism! Then, when Mars changes signs next week, you’ll work even harder to boost your earnings and spend money!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re entering a powerful window because next week, fiery Mars moves into your sign; while this week, the Sun moves to the top of your chart. This is favourable! Mars will give you energy, confidence and courage. You’ll be more proactive in all your dealings with others. (Maybe a tad bossy.) Meanwhile, with the Sun at your zenith, you look fabulous to everyone! This is because you’re in a flattering spotlight. (Symbolically.) People admire you even if you don’t do anything different. This is why you might be asked to take on increased responsibilities or you might get a promotion. As Mercury changes signs as well this week, your interest in study, education, publishing and travel will increase. “More whiskey and fresh horses for my men!”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week the Sun moves into the part of your chart that heightens your interest in travel, learning and doing anything possible to broaden your horizons. You will seek out new and unfamiliar experiences. People from different backgrounds will intrigue you. This is a great time to take up a new course of study, a new hobby or learn a new language. Your focus on taxes, debt, shared property and inheritances will be strong because Mercury has entered one of your Money Houses. (Time to tidy up loose details.) Meanwhile, Jupiter at the top of your chart brings opportunities to get ahead. Seek out promotions, public recognition and the esteem of your peers. Take a bow.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You don’t like to rock the boat. Therefore prepare for next week, when fiery Mars moves into your House of Friendships, making you more aggressive about going after what you want, even if it conflicts with others. Use your diplomacy to create successful team efforts. Coordinate your needs with their needs. (Tricky but doable.) Seek out more physical activity through athletics or team participation. Mercury, now opposite your sign, will help you clarify and explain issues. Discussions will be lively and you will seek out intellectual stimulation from others. Put energy into wrapping up loose details with taxes, shared property, inheritances and debt. All that fun stuff.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Next week your co-ruler Mars moves to the top of your chart, arousing your ambition as never before. This means you’ll work hard to get things done. However, this could put you in conflict with a boss or an authority figure. Do what you can to avoid this because you don’t need a situation that blocks your objectives. Go slowly and be diplomatic. Meanwhile, with the Sun moving opposite your sign, you need more sleep and more rest in the next four weeks. Respect this need; especially because Venus will attract chances to party, play and schmooze. Mercury, now in your House of Employment, will promote good relations with employers and coworkers. The next few weeks are an excellent time for important discussions. Seek ways to improve your health.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might feel conflicted as two planets are changing signs because one makes you want to travel, explore the world, and get a change of scenery. (“I’m outta here.”) While the other makes you keen to work and be productive. In fact, you’ll strive to make every action count because you want to discover the best way of doing things. Physical efficiency will be your motto. Mercury is another planet that changes signs now, moving to one of the most fun parts of your chart, encouraging you to use your mind for amusement like reading, writing and playing games that require mental agility. You might even play some pranks?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Lucky you! Once a year, the Sun travels through the most fun part of your chart for four weeks; and this starts now! You want to feel free to express yourself. You want to do what you want and set your own priorities. You have a strong drive to have a good time and be a free spirit. You might be more involved with kids than usual. Relationships will be more lighthearted. Family discussions are likely. Some will tackle home repairs. Admittedly, conflicts about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt might increase. The other thing that will increase is your sex drive! Woot!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’ll be more focused on home, family and your private life in the next four weeks. Many will be more involved with a parent. (You’re not being antisocial. You prefer to go off by yourself or spend time relaxing among familiar surroundings.) However, life has its contradictions and indeed, as Mercury changes signs this week, it will make you want to get out and talk to everyone. Short trips will appeal. You won’t want to settle down and relax – you want to do something! Whatever happens, do your best to keep the peace because with Mars opposite your sign for the next two months, lively discussions (and arguments) might take place with spouses and partners. “Beware Viceroy; the Federation has gone too far this time.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Fasten your seatbelt because the next four weeks are busy! More activity, more moving round, more encounters with new faces and new places! This is a great time for a vacation. It’s also a good time to tell others how you feel about something. Meanwhile Mercury has just entered your Money House making you more concerned about business affairs, shopping and moneymaking ideas. You might want to define your sense of values to someone. Mars is also changing signs next week, which will make you work hard to get things done. Best to work solo because you have your own ideas about how to do things. Oh yeah.

(One Person’s View) What is Wicca?

Imagine a religion that celebrates the wonders of nature and embraces the ancient wisdom of our ancestors. Welcome to Wicca—a modern, nature-based pagan faith. Wicca empowers us to connect deeply with the world around us. We engage in rituals and practices rooted in reverence for the Earth. While often confused with witchcraft, Wicca stands apart as a distinct spiritual path. Contrary to media portrayals, people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds practice Wicca. Every human can find their own unique journey within this diverse tradition.

(One Person’s View) What is Wicca? A Beginner’s Guide to the Wiccan Religion

What is Wicca? The answer to this question can vary, depending on who you ask, but below you’ll find a general introduction to this fascinating spiritual path.

Wicca is a modern, Earth-centered religion with roots in the ancient practices of our shamanic ancestors. Its practitioners, who call themselves Wiccans, honor the life-giving and life-sustaining powers of Nature through ritual worship and a commitment to living in balance with the Earth. Wicca is technically classified as one of many Pagan religions, though not all Wiccans would identify as Pagans—and plenty who identify as Pagans are not Wiccans.

In truth, Wicca is extremely dynamic and ever-evolving, so it’s difficult to make very many statements about it that every single person identifying as a Wiccan will agree with. However, it’s probably safe to say that when looking at the night sky, or the view from the top of a mountain, or the glassy surface of a lake, most—if not all—Wiccans will feel very much in the presence of the divine. So then, what is Wicca? What does it mean to be a Wiccan? And what are the core religious beliefs?

April 12, 2025 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 13.51 days old and 98.66% illuminated with a tilt of 149.772°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 404,776.10 km and the moon sign is Libra.

The Moon phase for today is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Let’s Talk Witch – Altars and Circles, Oh My! c. 2013 by Lady Abyss


Let’s Talk Witch – Altars and Circles, Oh My!

When practicing Witchcraft the two most common elements that we all have in common are the magick circle and the altar.

Let’s talk about how to set up your own magick circle and altar.

The circle is a powerful Witch’s tool. It’s the space where your magick happens. It is a sacred space that only you can create for yourself.

The magick circle has been used by witches and other magicians of various cultures: American Indians, Babylonians, and many others have used the magick circle.

The magick circle protects the witch from the forces that he or she is raising. It’s also used to shut out any energy or forces from outside which will interfere with the ritual.

The circle also contains your own personal power while you are working magick, holding and channeling it or your purposes.

Essentially the circle creates the atmosphere for all the magick you will do. It is a sphere of energy that forms the boundaries of your magickal space.

You will need some kind of way of marking the boundaries of your circle.

You can use a long piece of cord, or if you are outdoors, draw a circle of chalk, or use other objects to mark the outside of your circle.

Traditionally, a magick circle is nine feet in diameter. If you have space constraints, make it as big or as small as you are able to.

As you set up your circle, try to feel its energy moving around you. Focus on creating your perfect magickal space, the place where you can access your true power.

Once you have your circle, it’s time to decide what will go inside it.

The altar is the space where your tools will go. It can be made of anything, but wood is the best choice. Your altar doesn’t have to be fancy.

It can be a cardboard box covered with cloth, two cinder blocks with a board on top, a small coffee table or even a large, flat rock.

Traditionally, the altar is set in the center of the circle, facing North.

But what items will go on your altar, and where should you place them?

On the left side of the altar you place items such as your crystal, your cauldron(if it will fit), and a silver or white candle.

Your broom also goes on the left side, next to the altar.

On the right side is the place for your magick wand and your incense.

You can be as creative as you wish with your altar. Make it personal, and choose items which are both powerful and meaningful to you.

In the middle you can place some flowers if you like, plus all the ingredients you will need for your spell. Don’t forget matches for the candles, and a place to put the used matches.

Make sure you have all your spell ingredients ready before you begin, so that you do not have to leave the circle once you have started your ritual.

The altar is where you will do your spell casting. That’s why it’s in the center of the circle—it’s the focal point of your ritual.

Again, how you choose to do this is up to you. There’s no one right way to set up an altar.

All that matters is that you choose items that are magickally powerful and that you feel a connection with.

The magick will do the rest.

April 10, 2025 Current Moon Phase for the Northern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 12.49 days old and 95.5% illuminated with a tilt of 155.322°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 403,021.93 km and the moon sign is Virgo.

The Moon phase for today is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.
