The irrepressible fire of our spirit and the power of our intentions propel the arrows of our thoughts into the distant future. Today’s inspirational Sagittarius Moon transforms everyone into an honorary Archer with his or her bow drawn tight and arrow aimed at the far horizon. Meanwhile, the Moon trines unconventional Uranus and interactive Mercury, arousing our curiosity and encouraging communication that opens doors to unexplored territory.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may entertain big dreams of amazing adventures, the routine drudgery of work calls today and you must answer. However, planning your getaway is not a very smart strategy. Forget about all your lofty ideas and focus on exactly what is expected of you now, leaving the great escape for some other day. You will have something tangible to celebrate once your work is done.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

An ambitious plan won’t necessarily lead to success because you may not have the patience required to pull it off today. Of course, you want to be seen as reliable, yet you’re still willing to attempt something new, even if it means putting your reputation at risk. Taking a calculated chance is probably a good idea now as long as you don’t gamble with more than you’re willing to lose.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

People may tell you tall tales and you might actually believe them, so make sure to verify everything you hear today. Take the time to discover how reality differs from what others are saying now. Listen in between the spoken words so you don’t miss what’s being left out. It’s best to know the shortcomings of a plan before you endorse it. Remember, even when something sounds really good, there is still more to the story than meets the ear.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Doing your job the same way you do it every other day is not a viable option today. You’re eager to try something radically different, but it’s hard to know the best method unless you test a few of them out. Ask your co-workers for their input since someone else can evaluate your work from a different perspective. Even a small procedural change could be enough to increase your efficiency and bring you more satisfaction.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Emotional obstacles may appear in your immediate surroundings today, even when you’re doing everything just right. However, don’t admit defeat too soon, for your current problems can be easily overcome if you face them with confidence. There’s no need to bury unresolved issues from your past; embrace your shortcomings by accepting who you and where you came from. You cannot change the current situation by reinventing your history. Instead, create your future by cultivating your dreams.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your life seems to be moving too fast these days, yet you really do have the power to slow it down. However, modifying your calendar is tougher than you think. Canceling activities that are already on your schedule enables you to decrease the noise in your life by reducing the internal stress. A firm commitment to meditate or practice yoga for a few minutes every day might be all that’s needed to see for yourself what is possible.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may mislead yourself today by acting on your hopes instead of paying attention to the current situation. You can further mix up fantasy with reality by trying to convince others to believe in everything that seems real to you. A relationship that is based on blind optimism or unproven assumptions might lead you astray. However, initiating conversations with your friends helps you ascertain the truth. Set your dreams aside now and stick strictly to the facts.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You know what’s expected of you today, but you may have other things that you would rather do. Meeting your obligations can be draining because you don’t want to waste your time on anything that’s not important to you. Conserve your energy to connect with a special someone or just to enjoy some downtime by yourself. Paradoxically, maintaining sensible boundaries now widens your horizons in the long run.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Sharing your feelings today may be rather exhausting, but it also can create moments of intimacy as you expand your social sphere of influence. You might prefer being less emotional, talking philosophically about ideas and events instead of discussing your changing moods. Remember, it’s healthier to express what’s in your heart now, even if you aren’t exactly sure yet why you’re doing it. A spontaneous connection could end up being the highlight of your day.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Keeping your emotions to yourself can seem like a sensible thing to do, especially if they are standing in your way of being effective. However, you are happier and even more productive at work today if you don’t suppress your feelings. Although it isn’t wise to overwhelm your associates with your inner process, don’t be afraid to share the truth. There won’t be any regrets later if your disclosures are on a need-to-know basis. Others will appreciate the opportunity to open up about their feelings, too.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Inviting a few friends over for a social gathering sounds like a great idea today. However, it might not be prudent to call everyone you know, for they all could show up all at once, transforming your idea for a casual little get-together into a major event. If you choose to go forward with your party, remember to give yourself enough time before for planning and after for recovery.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re eager to take care of nearly everyone at work now that the Moon is visiting your 10th House of Public Responsibility. You have a high level of dedication and are willing to be an integral part of a team. Unfortunately, there’s also so much going on in your private life today that relationships may be quite demanding. Luckily, you don’t need to choose between the personal and business dimensions of your life. You can sustain both worlds if you simply devote your mind and heart to it.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 12th

[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.] Keep a special notebook by your bed to record dreams, visions, and out-of-the-body adventures as the Moon parallels Neptune (1:29AM). With the Moon still in void mode in Libra until 1:19PM, psychic tensions can build up — especially as the Sun forms a subtle and yet still meaningful, 30-degree liaison to Mars (3:03AM). Hopefully, a sense of logic, common sense and decorum will return a few hours later during a Moon-Saturn parallel (6:02AM). A main shift of the day involves the Moon switching allegiance from airy Libra to watery Scorpio (1:19PM). The Moon transiting through the eighth sign of the zodiac is a diamond mine for anyone skilled as a would-be sleuth, psychologist or investigator. Over the next 48 hours, you have the dynamic power to explore forgotten realms of childhood fantasy and ferret out familial secrets. Take a time-out from the stressful happenings of the past week to experiment with a digital or video camera as the Moon trines Neptune in water signs (9:06PM). Try your hand at rhyme poetry, limericks or haiku for a change of pace. A respected mentor’s teachings reach deep into your core values during the monthly Moon-Saturn conjunction (11:49PM). Just make sure you steer clear of a tendency toward self-doubt and pessimism.

For The Weekend of Aug. 9th – 11th, Your Love Horoscopes

Weekend Love Horoscopes

August 9-11: Relationship Rehab

Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

Expect a few tests this weekend in the romance department, thanks to several grouchy aspects the Moon in partnership oriented Libra will make to other planets. The good news is that you’ll focus on your relationship with your significant other because Libra is the quintessential “we” sign. The bad news is that tense aspects connected to the Moon this weekend will make careful mediation necessary in order to avoid trouble in paradise.

Saturday will be beautiful, however — especially before the evening. The Moon will connect perfectly to Mercury, allowing an easy flow of conversation with your mate. You’ll both feel comfortable speaking from the heart and your emotions will be expressed in a way that your partner is receptive to hearing.

Don’t think you got away clean, however, because late Saturday night into Sunday evening the Moon will square Pluto, oppose Uranus and square Mars, which will be anything but easy. Lover’s quarrel, anyone? A tense square between Mercury and Saturn on Sunday fortifies the idea that compromise will be difficult … but necessary.

* Your Weekend Love Horoscope is now written by counseling Astrologer Maria DeSimone, who knows love, dating and relationships better than anyone. Maria tracks the planets so you can make the right romantic moves every weekend!

The Witches Spell for July 29th – Spell To Be Open To All Types of Love

Spell To Be Open To All Types of Love

Goal: To open yourself to love in all its forms

Optional extra: White or pink candle

Notes: This spell was originally published in the book “The Goddess Is In The Details.” It is mostly aimed at opening your own heart so that love can come in, rather than drawing in any specific other person. It doesn’t necessarily have to be limited to romantic love—if you are looking for a best friend, then substitute the word “friendship” for lover and put out that intention instead.

Light the candle, then visualize your heart being surrounded by a white light that protects it at the same time it helps you open yourself up to loving and being loved.

“I ask the moon and stars above

To open my heart to perfect love

Striving not, nor chasing after

But open wide to love and laughter.”

“Hopeful am I and willing too

To open myself to lover’s woo

But while I wait for love that’s meant

With myself I’ll be content.”

“I wish for love that’s true and right

Filled with joy and shining light

I release all that which blocks my way

And open my heart to one who’ll stay.”

Gardnerian Traditional Witchcraft –B.14. Skyclad (1953)

B.14. Skyclad (1953)
It is important to work naked from the start, so it becometh as second nature, and no thought of “I have no clothes” shall ever intrude and take your attention from the work. Also, your skin being so accustomed to unconfinement, when power is given off the flow is more easy and regular. Also, when dancing you are free and unconfined. . . .
And the greatest of all, the touch of the body of your beloved thrills your inmost soul, and so your body gives out its utmost power; and then it is most important of all that there is not the slightest thing to divert the attention, for then the mind must seize and mold the power generated, and redirect it to the desired end with all the force and frenzy of the imagination.
It has been said that no real knowledge may be gained our way, that our practices are such that they can only lead to lust; but this is not really so. Our aim is to gain the inner sight, and we do it the most natural and easy way. Our opponents’ aim is ever to prevent man and woman from loving, thinking that everything that helps or even permits them to love is wicked and vile. To us it is natural, and if it aids the Great Work it is good.
‘Tis true that a couple burning with a frenzy for knowledge may go straight to their goal, but the average couple have not this fire. We show them the way, our system of props and aids (i.e., magic ritual). A couple working with nothing but lust will never attain in any case; but a couple who love each other dearly should already be sleeping together, and the first frenzy of love will have passed, and their souls will already be in sympathy. If the first time or two they do stay a while to worship Aphrodite, ’tis only a day or two lost, and the intense pleasure they obtain only leads them again to the mysteries of Hermes, their souls more attuned to the great search. Once they have pierced the veil they will not look back.
This rite may be used as the greatest of magics if it be done with both partners firmly fixing their minds on the object and not thinking of sex at all. That is, you must so firmly fix your mind on your object that sex and all else are naught. You inflame your will to such an extent that you may create a strain on the astral such that events happen.

Single on Valentine’s Day? No Worries

Celebrate yourself on this day of love

Sally Philips on the topics of valentines day, love, astrology

Have you been dreading Valentine’s Day? Well, get over it! Cupid wants you to celebrate love in all of its manifestations, not just the romantic variety. As a single person, you have energy for loving friendships (which you might not have time for if you were part of a couple), so you have much to be grateful for.

Here are some tips for how each zodiac sign can use Valentine’s Day to affirm that a partner isn’t necessary when it comes to celebrating love — and a few suggestions for attracting a date as well!

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

If you’re single and loving it, more power to you … but if want to find a partner, try making this holiday your Valentine’s New Year. Write resolutions about new ways you can reach out while having fun in the coming year. Get psyched up and create a positive attitude. The world is your romantic oyster!

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You could use some pampering on this special day, so take yourself to a spa to enjoy a head-to-toe beauty treatment, massage or soak in a hot tub. Be your own best date by treating yourself to whatever sensual delights tickle your fancy. Invite a close friend along and indulge together.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

If you get the urge to call your friends and whine about your single status, go ahead. Get chatty and vent all you want … but whatever you do, resist the temptation to ring up your ex or that hottie you’ve got your eye on. Wait for another day to make those calls, when your emotions aren’t so volatile.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You’re one of the world’s biggest romantics, so don’t let being single stop you from celebrating love. Arrange a gift or card exchange in your circle of friends and invite them over for a Valentine’s party. Bake cookies and deck out the house in red hearts and candlelight. Declare a toast to the loving friendships that sustain you.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Okay, Leo, you may not have a date this year, but you can still spread some cheer. Offer to babysit your friends’ kids. Parents of young children often have trouble finding time for romance in their busy lives, so help them out. You won’t be alone, and you’ll have fun playing with their kiddos.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

This is going to sound crazy, but this might be the perfect day to clean and reorganize your space. De-cluttering improves Feng Shui, which creates chi (vital energy) that can help attract more magic into your life. If you’re looking for a relationship, enhance the southwest sector of your bedroom with gemstones, crystals and candles.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Being single isn’t easy for you, Libra. If you’re feeling sorry for yourself, here’s a sure-fire way to cheer up: help someone less fortunate than yourself. Seniors are often lonely, and not just on Valentine’s Day, so see if you can volunteer at a senior center in your neighborhood. Or, look for a church or non-profit group that could use your help.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

You love intrigue and the little white lies behind it, so find an online florist and order a bouquet of flowers to be sent to you at your workplace. Or have a local candy store deliver a big box of chocolates. Sign the card “From Your Secret Admirer.” The water cooler gossip will keep you amused all day.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Recharge your batteries by taking a short trip. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Just getting on a bus and heading to some new part of town can do the trick. Or, try this with a friend: get in your car, start driving, toss a coin at every corner and turn left (for tails) or right (for heads) accordingly. After a few tosses, have dinner wherever you end up.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

You’ve already got a handle on creating attractive energy that draws people to you. Your flair for success is irresistible. Now’s a great time to share some of the fruits of that success by treating your friends to a special event. Look for a movie, concert, comedy club or theater production you know they will enjoy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Okay, so you’ve figured out that Valentine’s Day is a plot by flower shops and greeting card companies to bump up their post-Christmas sales. If you’re part of this “bah humbug” group, gather your like-minded friends and have a Valentine’s Scrooge party. Give a prize to the guest who brings the snarkiest card.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Today is the day to amplify the compassionate traits you are known and loved for. Reach out to a friend or family member who needs an open ear. As you listen, offer your support and help them find their way back to a more cosmic perspective. This comes naturally to you, but it isn’t always so easy for others.

If only I’d read this great little book earlier: kidney problems are often associated with my sign. Now I know to pay better attention!)

New Moon in Aquarius Horoscopes

Fly free with February’s New Moon

Jeff Jawer on the topics of new moon, moon, astrology, aquarius

Get ready for a spark of genius! The quirky Aquarius New Moon on February 10 ignites unusual ideas and increases the urge for freedom.

This brilliant energy will affect some people more than others.

Mental Mercury’s challenging square with expansive Jupiter encourages a wide range of thinking, but it can also raise optimism beyond reason. A square between Venus and Saturn suggests that limited resources or relationship issues need to be addressed before we can tap into the full potential of this innovative and liberating lunation.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Friends and organizations can take you in a different direction with this Aquarius New Moon in your team-oriented 11th House of Groups. You may find inspiration while working for a cause or participating in a group project. Although you will probably be excited by a new idea, it’s best not to push it on others now. Do some research and let it simmer until you have studied it thoroughly before sharing it with the world.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

This cutting edge Aquarius New Moon lands in your 10th House of Career and Public Responsibility, where it can put additional obligations on your plate. The challenge is to adjust to changing conditions, rules or expectations that can take you out of your comfort zone. But if you’re ready to jump into the future, you can help to lead to way to breakthroughs in your professional life.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You may want to hit the road with this New Moon in your 9th House of Travel and Higher Mind. Broadening your experiences through school, intellectual pursuits and connections with faraway places helps to satisfy your curious nature. Your ruling planet Mercury’s conjunction with impatient Mars can provoke impulsive action or careless words, so think twice before leaping or speaking.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Relationship boundaries might be stretched with the unconventional Aquarius New Moon in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Attracting unusual people can be exciting if you’re willing to learn some different ways to connect. A flexible and open-minded attitude allows you to explore unfamiliar experiences that invite intimacy and can even help establish new business partnerships.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

The quirky Aquarius New Moon in your 7th House of Others attracts unconventional people. Relationships require more breathing space as you and your partner need more freedom. Keeping an open mind allows you to benefit from unique individuals who challenge your usual ways of thinking. Being friendly and open-minded prevents those differences from driving you apart.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

A fresh approach to work should make your daily routine more interesting now. The groundbreaking Aquarius New Moon lands in your 6th House of Employment, triggering changes on the job. Adjusting to surprises is a must because old systems may no longer be effective. It’s healthier to adapt and prepare for the future than to stubbornly stick to outmoded ways of doing business.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Fun and games are on the agenda with this lively lunation in your 5th House of Romance and Self-Expression. The inventive Aquarius New Moon puts a sparkle in your eye and enhances your creative capacities. This is a time to be a performer, even if you’re shy and uncertain. The support of a friend will help you come across with more confidence in your personal and professional lives.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

It’s never too late to change the past’s influence on you. The experimental Aquarius New Moon occurs in your 4th House of Family and Personal History, giving you a fresh perspective that can free you from old ideas and influences. This is a time to plant seeds for a more inspiring future, perhaps encouraging you to consider relocation or making a major change in your professional life.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Bright ideas are popping with this brainy Aquarius New Moon in your 3rd House of Information. Lively conversations can open your mind to radically different concepts that spur you to learn even more. Enthusiasm can add passion to your words, but try to keep your messages relatively simple. It’s easy to say too much and complicate matters when you don’t adjust your speech to your audience.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

The impulse to experiment triggered by this Aquarius New Moon lands in your 2nd House of Self-Worth, where fresh ideas about earning money can arise. It’s important to see yourself in a new light to cash in on this potential opportunity. You have undeveloped abilities that require an investment of time and energy, but even more importantly, faith in your ability to reinvent yourself.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

This unconventional New Moon in your sign lights up your personality. Taking chances with your appearance and approach is worthwhile, even if you’re uncertain how others are going to react. You can’t please everyone, but it’s essential that you please yourself. If you’re having fun, that’s the best way to make you more attractive in personal relationships and in professional matters.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

A change of direction in your spiritual path is possible with this New Moon in your 12th House of Divinity. It’s a time to renew faith in your current beliefs with a fresh perspective or to recognize how they limit you. Exploring different sources of inspiration, both religiously and creatively, renews your sense of purpose. Freeing yourself from sacrificial roles is also appropriate.

The Witches Correspondence for Friday, February 8th

Your Horoscope Guardian Trees

Annie B. Bond

The grounded grace and benign presence of trees have both awed and comforted humans since our earliest beginnings. In both Native American and Celtic tradition, every season has its tree-spirits. In astrology, too, each sun-sign has special trees standing guard over it, sharing their healing energy.

Find out which trees hold a magical healing key for your sun-sign here:

Aries, March 21-April 19: Holly, thorn, chestnut

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Feb. 1 – 3

Weekend Love Horoscopes

February 1 – 3: Get a Little Closer

Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

The weekend starts sweetly with the Moon’s presence in lovely Libra on Friday. Putting others first and acting graciously flow easily in this sociable sign. Finding pleasure in pairs or in groups comes from an open-minded interest in people and a commitment to cooperation. Conflict may be avoided at all costs by taking the path of least resistance, which hides deeper needs behind a smile.

Emotions intensify on Saturday morning with a lunar shift into passionate Scorpio. The desire for closeness is so strong that it’s better to connect in an intimate setting than to be out in public or part of a crowd. The Moon’s conjunction with responsible Saturn shadows the night and wee hours of the following morning with a somber light. It’s an auspicious time to get down to the serious business of addressing complex relationship issues.

Although this task may not sound like fun, it’s a great opportunity to get so real with someone that you both know exactly where you stand. When this conversation is done with kindness, it’s a moment when a partnership can be strengthened and trust is earned. This exchange is more realistic than romantic at first, but when honesty and compassion meet it can create a bond that will take intimacy to a much more satisfying level.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 2nd

The Moon leaves void status in Libra by entering fixed and potent Scorpio (4:03AM PST). Research, investigations and in-depth studies receive the proverbial green light with the Moon in the eighth sign of the zodiac. Don your detective garb to solve personal mysteries and ferret out ancestral secrets. Giving you an extra dose of psychic sensitivity is a Moon-Neptune harmonious trine of 120-degrees (7:46AM PST). Pressing the anger button is a no-no around the time-period when Mercury forms a caustic, 45-degree tie with underworld-ruling Pluto (4:01PM PST). Healing forces are back on the march — courtesy of a Moon-Chiron trine in water signs (5:39PM PST). Learn more about The Great Pyramid, Stonehenge, and the building of ancient megaliths. Don’t be surprised if feelings of deja vu pop up without warning. Turn the tables on self-doubt or pessimism later on during the monthly Moon-Saturn union (11:46PM PST).
