The Goddess And The Horned God In Wicca

 

Neither evocation nor invocation is part of modern witchcraft, however, and white witches do not recognize any demonic figures in their religion. When we refer to the Goddess and her son-consort, the Horned God of Wicca, we are referring to the archetype or source energies of the feminine and masculine aspects of ultimate power. They are the creative female and male principles, acting not in opposition to each other but as complementary and necessary parts of a whole. All the named goddesses and gods in witchcraft represent the different qualities of these supreme forms, for example the goddesses of the hunt, or specific forms in different cultures.

There are, of course, variations within Wicca; some traditions emphasise the importance of the Goddess, while others regard the Horned God as her equal, with each assuming different aspects according to the season and ritual. For example, the Goddess may appear as the Earth or Moon deity, and her male counterpart as the Corn God or the Sun.

Working With the Gods and Goddesses

By

There are literally thousands of different deities out there in the Universe, and which ones you choose to honor will often depend significantly upon what pantheon your spiritual path follows. However, many modern Pagans and Wiccans describe themselves as eclectic, which means they may honor a god of one tradition beside a goddess of another. In some cases, we may choose to ask a deity for assistance in a magical working or in problem solving. Regardless, at some point, you’re going to have to sit and sort them all out. If you don’t have a specific, written tradition, then how do you know which gods to call upon?

A good way to look at it is to figure out which deity of your pantheon would be interested in your purpose. In other words, what gods might take the time to look into your situation? This is where the concept of appropriate worship comes in handy — if you can’t take the time to get to know the deities of your path, then you probably shouldn’t be asking them for favors. So first, figure out your goal. Are you doing a working regarding home and domesticity? Then don’t call upon some masculine power deity. What if you’re celebrating the end of the harvest season, and the dying of the earth? Then you shouldn’t be offering milk and flowers to a spring goddess.

Consider your purpose carefully, before you make offerings or prayers to a particular god or goddess.

Although this is certainly not a comprehensive list of all the gods and their domains, it may help you a bit to get an idea of who is out there, and what sorts of things they may be able to help you with:

Artisanship

For assistance relating to skills, crafts, or handiwork, call upon the Celtic smith god, Lugh. Many other pantheons have forge and craftsmanship gods as well.

Chaos

When it comes to matters of discord and upsetting the balance of things, some people choose to to check in with Loki the Norse prankster god. However, it’s generally recommended that you don’t do this unless you’re a devotee of Loki in the first place – you may end up getting more than you bargained for.

Destruction

If you’re doing a working related to destruction, the Celtic war goddess the Morrighan may assist you, but don’t trifle with her lightly. A safer bet might be working with Demeter, the Dark Mother of the harvest season.

Fall Harvest

When you celebrate the fall harvest, you may want to take time to honor Herne, the god of the wild hunt, or Osiris, who is often connected with grain and the harvest. Demeter and her daughter, Persephone, are typically connected with the waning part of the year. Pomona is associated with fruit orchards and the bounty of trees in fall. There are also a number of other harvest gods and gods of the vine who may be interested in what you’re doing.

Feminine Energy

For workings related to the moon, lunar energy, or the sacred feminine, consider invoking Artemis or Venus.

Fertility

When it comes to fertility, there are plenty of deities out there to ask for assistance. Consider Cernunnos, the wild stag of the forest, or Freya, a goddess of sexual power and energy. If you follow a Roman-based path, try honoring Bona Dea. There are a number of other fertility gods out there as well, each with their own specific domain.

Home and Marriage

Brighid is a protector of hearth and home, and Juno and Vesta are both patronesses of marriage.

Love and Lust

Aphrodite has long been associated with love and beauty, and so has her counterpart, Venus. Likewise, Eros and Cupid are considered representative of masculine lust. Priapus is a god of raw sexuality, including sexual violence.

Magic

Isis, the mother goddess of Egypt, is often called upon for magical workings, as is Hecate, a goddess of sorcery.

Masculine Energy

Cernunnos is a strong symbol of masculine energy and power, as is Herne, the god of the hunt. Odin and Thor, both Norse gods, are known as powerful, masculine gods.

Motherhood

Isis is a mother goddess on a grand scale, and Juno watches over women in labor.

Prophecy and Divination

Brighid is known as a goddess of prophecy, and so is Cerridwen, with her cauldron of knowledge. Janus, the two-faced god, sees both the past and future.

Underworld

Because of his harvest associations, Osiris is often connected with the underworld. There are a number of other deities of death and dying.

War and Conflict

The Morrighan is not only a goddess of war, but also of sovereignty and loyalty. Athena protects warriors and imparts them with wisdom. Freya and Thor guide fighters in battle.

Wisdom

Thoth was the Egyptian god of wisdom, and Athena and Odin may also be called upon, depending on your purpose.

Seasonal

There are a number of deities associated with the various times of the Wheel of the Year, including the Winter Solstice, Late winter, the Spring Equinox, and the Summer solstice.

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

You can read into what is going on quite fast and most of the people you are close to, are like an open book to you. At times, you are indulgent with yourself. Prepare to read a comprehensive profile analysis in the following rows.

 The zodiac sign for May 18 is Taurus.

 Astrological symbol: Bull. This zodiac symbol is considered to influence those born April 20 – May 20, under the Taurus zodiac sign. It is representative for tact, strength, confidence and abundance.

 The Taurus Constellation lies between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East on an area of 797 sq degrees and has Aldebaran as its brightest star. Its visible latitudes are between +90° to -65°, this being one of the zodiac’s twelve constellations.

 The name Taurus is the Latin name for Bull. In Spanish, Tauro is the name of the sign for May 18 zodiac sign. In French it is used Taureau while in Arabic Al Thaur.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. In astrology, these are the signs placed opposite on the zodiac circle or wheel and in the case of Taurus reflect upon revelation and caution.

 Modality: Fixed. This quality proposes the diligent nature of those born on May 18 and their authority and adventure in taking life as it is.

 Ruling house: The second house. This house represents all material and non material possessions an individual gets in a lifetime. This only doubles the influence orienting Taurus towards wealth and life’s pleasure.

 Ruling body: Venus. This celestial body is said to influence enticement and bravery. Venus represents feminine energy opposing the masculine energy of Mars. Venus also suggests the faithfulness in the lives of these natives.

 Lucky numbers: 6, 8, 15, 17, 26.

 Motto: “I own!”

People born on May 18 are dependable and faithful but they also crave for a lot of security and a sense of stability from those close to them. They are generous and practical and are usually led by the most honest intentions, although things don’t always work the way they want them to. They are to be found in large social gatherings as they feel very comfortable so. They hate when they are forced in any way, especially when others are expecting quick decisions from them.

 Positive Traits: These natives possess a lot of elegance and integrity and they seem to show these attitudes in almost everything they do. They are reliable and almost everyone can count on them as long as they show the same respect as they how. They are quick to offer a helping hand and can be extremely affectionate with those dearest to them.

 Negative Traits: These natives are self indulgent and inflexible and this sometimes leads to them becoming resentful of the success of others and then diminishing even the last trace of motivation they had regarding that particular situation. They can be easily offended as well and should learn to see past the negative value of criticism. They should also stop being so indecisive because this coupled with their stubbornness makes them extremely difficult to reason with.

 Usually a joyful character, they sometimes find it hard to express their emotions and this can make them appear quite difficult and hard to understand. They need time to develop a real connection.

They are most compatible with those born on 3th, 5th, 6th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 21th, 23th, 24th and 31st. May 18 Zodiac people are very attached to the other two earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Taurus is in a constant search for someone attractive and mysterious that can keep their interest alive and the one to offer them this is the native in Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is thought to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

This makes you a wonderful friend and family member! Those closest to you adore having you around. However, it’s important to embrace change when necessary. If you’re blinded by commitment, you may never see the opportunities that lie elsewhere. Stick with those you love, but keep your eyes, ears, and heart open to all possibilities.

All Signs

The most dramatic astrological event this week is that Saturn changes signs on Saturday. This is a big deal. I’m going to discuss this next week because in the meantime, this week another event occurs, which is the Sun returning to Gemini for the first time in 11 months. Let that be our focus. Meanwhile, Monday is a lazy dreamy day, which will suit those who aren’t working. Midweek on Tuesday and Wednesday, everyone will bounce back to work with focused energy. The end of the week promises romance and fun socializing. Remember: the email of the species is more dangerous than the mail.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week the pace of your days will accelerate for the next four weeks. Oh yes, you have things to do, places to go and people to see! Fortunately, fair Venus is in your sign, increasing your desire to relate to others. Venus will also help you to compromise and get along with everyone. Because Venus ranks pleasure above work, you will easily attract social situations to you. This is timely because this is also a romantic week! Venus will help you increase your receptivity to others, while the Sun will increase your desire to communicate. In addition to this, your ruler fiery Mars will heighten your sexual desires and appetites for adventure! Oh my. (Note: This is the perfect week to buy wardrobe treasures.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

As I frequently mention, you are the financial wizard of the zodiac. This week the Sun will enter your Money House heightening your concerns with money, movable property and the things you value. You will examine your relationship to the resources in your life. For example, does your “stuff” serve your needs or the other way around? (And let us not forget that you are the collector of the zodiac.) Meanwhile, you might make a special purchase and enjoy showing it off. With Mercury in your sign, you’re keen to express your views to others, especially about history and politics. You also have a strong urge to get out and travel.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Good news! This week the powerful Sun returns to your sign for the first time in a year. It will stay there for four weeks, boosting your confidence and energy. Yay! It will also attract people and favourable situations to you. Meanwhile, Venus in your House of Friendships will help you schmooze with friends, groups and organizations. (A friendship could turn romantic.) Mars in your House of Communications, will accelerate the tempo of your everyday life; while making you identify with your ideas and beliefs. This is a fortunate time for you because Jupiter is still in your sign giving you divine protection. Take a moment and count your blessings. Ya think?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your birthday is looming ahead, which means your personal year is ending. This means the next four weeks are the time to do a reality check and think about how well you’re doing at the art of living. This is an auspicious time to do this because next week, I’ll discuss the impact of Saturn on your sign. Discussions with younger people are significant for you right now. In fact, someone younger might prompt you to rethink your future goals. Meanwhile, fair Venus at the top of your chart, is creating favourable circumstances for your business and professional life. Venus will also make authority figures admire you! (In fact, you might begin a romance with a boss.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week ushers in a four-week window of increased popularity. Everyone wants to see your face! This is also your chance to establish who you are with your friends. Be yourself without fear or apology. Life is too short to spend time with people who don’t appreciate you and have your best interests at heart. This is the best time of year to think about who you want to encourage in your life. Meanwhile, fiery Mars is still in your sign boosting your energy and giving you the ability to work out problems and accomplish a lot. (Mars will stay in your sign until June 17.) Grab every chance to travel or expand your world because you need this right now. Enjoy art exhibits, explore new neighbourhoods, or take a pleasure trip. Treat yourself!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week the Sun moves to the top of your chart to stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs, it symbolizes a flattering spotlight shining down on you, that makes you look great in the eyes of everyone, especially authority figures. This is why you might be offered increased responsibilities or a promotion. (You don’t have to do anything special – you’ll succeed. It’s smoke and mirrors.) Meanwhile, romance is affectionate and sexy! Plus, gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. You’ll also enjoy any kind of study or further education because you’re eager for knowledge and new experiences. This is an excellent time to learn a new language.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Exciting news! For the next four weeks, the Sun will travel through the part of your chart that makes you want to learn more and broaden your horizons. You’ll want to study new and unfamiliar topics. You’ll want to travel and meet people from different backgrounds. Any new course of study, a new hobby, or a new intellectual discipline will be invigorating and stimulating because you want more out of life! Meanwhile, fair Venus is in the best position for all relationships – a lover, a friend, coworkers, even enemies. Plus, fiery Mars is in your House of Friendships right now encouraging physical activity, such as athletics with groups. Now is the time to formulate your goals and actively pursue them.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

In the next four weeks, you’ll feel more passionate about life. This will happen for different reasons. You might encounter somebody that produces a need for some psychological self-inquiry within you. Or you might meet someone who challenges your value structure and makes you rethink everything? The result is you will want to experience life at a feeling level – not just an intellectual understanding of things. Meanwhile, Mars at the top of your chart will arouse your ambition as never before. You want to be your own boss. Fortunately, Venus will soften things, especially with coworkers. Venus can attract a work-related romance.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This week the Sun will move opposite your sign to stay for four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs, it means you’ll need more sleep. That’s because the Sun is now as far away from your sign as it can get all year. We’re not talking 93 million miles. We’re talking about 5 inches on your chart. (It’s symbolic.) Because the Sun represents your energy — and it is now “as far away from you” as it can get, your overall level of vitality will be lessened. Meanwhile, Venus is in one of the most fun-loving, playful parts of your chart, urging you to socialize and have a good time! This is the perfect time for a vacation, especially because fiery Mars wants you to expand your world and your mind! Ideas?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Each of us feels a shift of energy as the Sun changes signs this week. You will feel a strong desire to work and get better organized. You’ll want to work as efficiently and effectively as possible to get the best results for your efforts. By extension, you want to improve your health as well. This means physical efficiency will be a theme for you in the next four weeks. You’ll also enjoy redecorating where you live and entertaining at home. You will also balance your hard work with amusing past times, especially reading, writing and playing games that require mental agility. Romance with someone younger might blossom.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Lucky you! Once a year, the Sun takes four weeks to travel through the most fun-loving, playful part of your chart. This means your primary drive will be to do what you want, and set your own priorities. You will feel lighter and happier and more playful! Your attitude toward your relationships will be warmer and easy-going. You might have a greater concern for the welfare of children. Social outings, the arts and sports will appeal. In fact, life will feel so good, you’ll appreciate the appearance of your daily surroundings in ways that you didn’t see before. (Actually, as you change the way you see your everyday world, your everyday world will change.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

For the next four weeks, your focus will be on home, family and your private life. Pool your energy with others and focus on stabilizing your personal world. (Some will have stronger connections with a parent.) All of you will contemplate your past and how you have arrived at where you are today. Meanwhile, fiery Mars will help you be productive; while fair Venus will attract money and favours to you, and encourage you to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. It’s time to think more seriously about giving yourself the stable support that you need. Once you secure your home base, then you can pursue other goals with peace of mind and assurance.

For experienced crystal witches, use the Table of Contents to find the List of Correspondences for Wiccan stones and crystals.

What is a crystal?

So, what is a crystal exactly? Crystal is a generic term for a variety of geologic formations. Geodes, metals, gems, minerals, and more. They represent the most basic components of our physical lives and are a direct connection to the powerful and infinite Earth.

Sometimes they represent extraterrestrial components in the case of meteorites. They may even derive from natural processes occurring on the Earth, not directly form the Earth itself, as in the case of amber. The word crystals is an umbrella term to refer to all of these things.

Crystals can be translucent or opaque. They come in every colour imaginable. They can be all shapes and sizes. They can be a solid colour or patterned. They can be smooth or rough.

Each crystal is unique in its chemical make-up, density, and appearance. In addition to its chemical and physical attributes, each crystal has an energetic component. As Einstein discovered, matter and energy are interchangeable. Crystals are very sensitive to energy, conducting it and emitting it. We choose to work with one crystal over another based on its energy characteristicsOpens in a new tab., the correspondences of which is described a bit further below.

What do Wiccans use crystals for? (and other traditions of witchcraft)

Wiccan stones and crystals are powerful tools which witches use to enhance their craftOpens in a new tab.. As Wicca is a pagan religion which is heavily Earth-based, crystals are a natural incorporation since they come directly from the Earth. They are a direct connection with nature and they harness the perpetual power of the Earth.

Stones are alive and choose to work with us. They will not be powerful unless you recognize that they are your partner– not just tools which you alone control. 

Crystals serve as a container of magickal energies. Energies like thought and intention can be picked up by the crystals and then sent out to the world. They can be used either as a primary tool for your magickal work, or you can use their natural energies to supplement other work you might be doing.

The color of crystals is very important as well. Color is just energy too, just as we require light to see it. Each color has a different correspondence depending on its vibration and resonance. One color can be used to aid in healing work, but another color will be better suited to a love spell.

Since crystals are stores of energy, you should cleanse them thoroughly upon first use and periodically after that. You’ll also want to charge them before using them in any spells. Cleansing and charging are described towards the end of this article.

Here are some example uses of Wiccan stones and crystals in a witch’s practice.

Marking the circle.

Healing. Some crystals have specific healing properties, for instance to heal a particular system or part of the body. However most crystals (and even most stones like those you would find on a riverbed) can also be used for healing.

Jewelry like pendants, earrings, bracelets, and other magickal pieces. The stones can be charged for a specific purpose (protection, healing, etc) then worn to let the energies with which you charged it to surround you. Crystals can be charged and work in your daily activities or for a specific purpose like dealing with a negative person, a job interview, or giving a presentation.

Good luck charms and talismans.

Protection such as wearing crystal amulets.

Scrying which is peering into a crystal’s surface for visions. This works best with crystals that have smooth, reflective surfaces like hematite.

Meditation with the crystal.

Divination work.

Honoring deities.

Decorating magickal tools like wands, chalices, pentacles, etc.

Spellwork and manifesting change.

Astral projection.

Dream work, dream analysis, improving sleep, ending bad dreams, and lucid dreaming.

Changing the energy flow in the home.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%.

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

The Stars Rate Your Day

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because things are unpredictable. You might find money; you might lose money. Guard what you own against loss, theft or damage. On the upside, you might have an original, moneymaking idea? Who knows?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

**** Today the Sun is in your sign lined up with wild, wacky Uranus, which means your actions might surprise others. The overall mood of today will be electric, exciting and different. Plans will change. You might feel rebellious. Pay attention to what you say and do to avoid accidents.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** Today you feel restless. Something might happen that shakes up your daily routine? Or someone might change their plans and you might find this annoying. One thing is certain, nothing is reliable today because last-minute changes, accidents and new directions are taking place.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** You might meet someone unusual today; or someone you know might surprise you? You might also be involved in group or an organization that suddenly changes plans, or directions, or adopts a new mandate? This is because today is full of sudden changes and unpredictable events. Oy!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

*** Tread carefully when dealing with authority figures today because they might do something that surprises you; in turn, you might not like it, or you might feel rebellious about a new decision coming down the pipe? Your boss might suddenly be fired? Could be anything.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** Travel plans might suddenly change today. Likewise, issues related to legal or medical matters might also change, perhaps an appointment or an event? Anything to do with school and higher education is also subject to a last-minute detour. Stay flexible today!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** Make friends with your bank account today because sudden changes to your assets, your bank accounts, or anything to do with agreements about shared property could occur today. Something you thought was stable might be wobbly? You might receive a windfall or the opposite. (Yikes.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

**** Use your diplomatic skills to deal with partners, spouses and close friends today because this is a fast-changing landscape. Agreements and plans with others might fall through, or suddenly change. You might meet someone new who is different and unusual? Today is a crapshoot. (Exciting but unreliable.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Equipment breakdowns, staff shortages, delayed deliveries, computer problems and power outages are just a few things that might dog your steps today at work, or in your job, or even dealing with health issues. Stay light on your feet. Protect your pet against accidents or hazards.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

**** Parents should be extra vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change at the drop of a hat. You might receive an invitation – or a fun event might be cancelled? Romance is completely unpredictable.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** Your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone unexpected could knock on your door. (Get dressed.) Meanwhile, family arguments and emotional outbursts might take place. Stay chill. Be sensible. Do what’s best.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Think before you act. Count to three before you respond to someone. Guard against knee-jerk reactions when talking to others. New faces, new places and new ideas will energize you. Definitely.

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

The Stars Rate Your Day

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

** Tread carefully today. Watch your step and follow the rules because all aspects of authority could be a challenging situation for you. Furthermore, your relations with authority figures (parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs) are subject to confusion and misunderstandings.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

** You are the financial wizard of the zodiac; therefore, it’s important to know your financial dealings with others are subject to confusion, misinformation and even deceit. If you think something fishy is going on – it is. Double check important transactions.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

** When talking to close friends, partners and spouses, you might feel criticized or diminished in some way. Separations might occur for some of you today. You might have to say goodbye to someone. A close relationship might feel cold and insensitive. Double check financial transactions. (This is temporary.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

** Your job, or whatever work you’re doing, might feel onerous today. You might feel cut off from others. You might feel overwhelmed by your tasks. Discussions with authority figures could be confusing and unreliable. Please be reassured that things actually look worse than they are today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

** Children might feel like an increased responsibility today. You might also have serious discussions with someone, perhaps someone in authority or to do with postsecondary education. Be smart and take everything that you hear with a grain of salt because confusion (even deceit) are rampant.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

** Family discussions might be strained today because there might be a lack of warmth with other family members. You might feel cut off or misunderstood. Romance could be disappointing as well, or issues with your kids. Fear not, this is a tough day for everyone but it is temporary. Courage!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

** Today is a good day to remember that old saying, “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” Lighten up! Try to cultivate a positive attitude. Meanwhile, family discussions are confusing and possibly, not entirely true. Be aware of this.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

** You might be concerned about finances today. “Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money?” Many people feel this way today. Small wonder that you might spend time daydreaming lost in a fantasy world, without worries about practical matters.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

** This morning the Moon is in your sign at odds with stern Saturn which can create a fleeting depression or difficulty talking to parents and older family members. You might feel like you’re the one carrying the load. Later in the day, financial matters are confusing. Postpone important purchases or decisions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

** It’s easy to feel cut off and lonely from others today. Do not dwell on this because many people feel strained relations with others today, especially their daily contacts. Furthermore, family conversations, and dealings with relatives are hazy and unreliable. Be careful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

** Friendships are important to you, which is why you might be upset with a friend today who is critical of you or does not agree with your views. Do not take this personally. In fact, many conversations are subject to misunderstandings and confusion today. Relax. This is temporary.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

** This is a challenging day dealing with parents, bosses and people in authority – including the police. As the day wears on, you might find that discussions with others are confusing. Do not take anything at face value. Double check your facts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are trying to approach some serious subjects with your partner this Thursday but they seem more interested in relaxation and anything that can get your minds off troubles.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Lack of the financial resources you would hope for is something that keeps you in your tracks this Thursday and you are quite unforgiving with yourself for ending up in this situation.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Some sort of interruption might delay a process of some kind you were in the middle of. This will not only angry you entirely but might leave you without some of the activities you have planned for the day.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It seems that you will be offered more than an invitation to do something entertaining and active today. Perhaps you get the chance to go to a fancy sports club of some kind and get to mingle with important people.

You will use this as more than an opportunity to recharge your batteries and might obtain useful contacts.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your love life is quite fragile today and there is no need for you to hide beneath a finger. You don’t seem to have aligned your expectations with the ones of your partner and this is the reason both of you are not feeling as happy as you should.

Try not to delay that honest talk everyone knows you should be having at some point.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Before you react in any harsh way or make I don’t know what kind of decision, perhaps you should think of how you would like to be treated by someone else in a similar situation. You will then feel a lot calmer and perhaps more understanding.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might want to postpone any decisions you ought to take during this Thursday, not because of something bad going on but because there are higher chances for them to succeed later on.
