Calendar of the Moon for Thursday, Feb. 23rd

Calendar of the Moon
23 Nion/Anthesterion

Diasia: Day of Ua Zit

Color: Black
Element: Earth
Altar: Upon a black cloth set three knives, a sword, and a sickle in the shape of a serpent; two white candles, and a bowl of barley.
Offerings: Any atonement for a wrong done by you, your family, or your ancestors.
Daily Meal: Fasting until the following morning.

Diasia Invocation

We have walked upon the face
Of this our generous Mother
And done wrong to many,
Whether by accident or by design
Or only by our lack of mindfulness.
Before we walked here,
Those who made us walked upon the face
Of this our generous Mother
And did wrong to many,
And their wrongs made them strong,
And their strength gave life to us.
We are born of the pain and toil
Of others, and this price
Is etched into our bones.
There are none truly innocent
Anywhere on the face of the Mother,
And we must all atone
For ourselves and for our blood.
Therefore we shall live always
With this knowledge over us,
We shall share a bed with its presence,
We shall learn to love its painful truth
And yet never become accustomed to it.
We shall work to atone for this legacy
Even if we only do no more harm
Through action or inaction.
We are children of Fate,
And we cannot afford to be blind
To the wrath our footsteps leave behind them.

(All sit on the floor and meditate. At the end of the meditation, the barley is poured as libation.)

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, February 23

Stop, look and listen! The cosmos wants you to be patient, calm and receptive to higher guidance. As mentioned in Wednesday’s calendar entry, the Moon in Pisces remains in a void limbo cycle until 6:49PM PST when the Moon enters fiery, independent-minded Aries. There is no need to dash out of the starting gate too soon since tensions are filling up the psychic atmosphere early on as Mercury opposes Mars (3:26AM PST). Reflect on your recent and current investment plans as the Moon unites with Vesta in Pisces (5:13PM PST). It is also wise to review insurance rates and coverage, and make sure your residence has adequate safety and security systems. Relationships are on the questionable side of the astro-psychic spectrum due to a feisty Sun-Juno square from Pisces to Sagittarius (5:37PM PST). Wear kid gloves when handling love bonds. Once the Moon enters Aries (6:49PM PST), your tendency will be to push forward in an assertive, willful manner. However, Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Saturn (9:12PM PST) — becoming a further reminder to make sure you are safe at home and that your business affairs are rock-solid

Dragon Fire

Dragon Fire

 
 
Almost all dragons breathe out a type of energy we humans call fire. This fire-breathing from the nose and mouth was and is usually employed as a warning or a protective measure. However, there are a number of stories of dragons who, after being hunted and/or provoked to extremes, burned up all the houses and crops of a town as punishment and a warning to leave them alone.
 
A great many dragons are attracted by physical fire, which produces a form of energy. Burning candles in a ritual way is certain to attract dragons. If the magician does not have the time, opportunity or energy to perform a complete dragon ritual, candle burning is a quick, effective form of magick. It is the quickest ritual to learn and to do.
 
Do not become lazy, however, and substitute candle burning for every magickal occasion. If you are new to the field of magick, begin with candle burning and work up to the other, more involved rituals. A good magician constantly seeks to expand his/her field of knowledge and expertise.
 
This is a candle burning ritual using dragon magick. To increase the potency of the candle, time the burning to the correct lunar and/or solar phases. For increasing and obtaining desires, burn during daylight or the waxing Moon (from after the New Moon until the Full Moon), with the Full Moon being strongest. For banishing or cursing, burn during evening hours of the waning Moon (from after the Fulll Moon until the New Moon), with the New Moon being strongest.
 
A cast circle is not imperative with this ritual. Choose appropriately colored stones to draw the attention of the dragons with which you desire to work: arrange them about the altar. With your ritual dagger, carve your exact wishes on the candle. Dragon script is very good for this, but if it proves too difficult to carve into the wax, use your ordinary language. Then anoint the candle with an appropriate oil. For moving something away from you, anoint from the end up to the wick. For obtaining something, anoint from the wick down to the end. To further strengthen the spell, roll the candle in crushed herbs chosen to further correspond to the spellworking. Either tapers or votive candles can be used.
 
To further concentrate the appropriate power into a candle burning, make a wide circle of your robe-cord around the candle on the altar. For safety, choose a metal or non-flammable holder and set it in a safe place.
 
With your wand, circle the candle three times clockwise for increasing magick (three times counterclockwise for decreasing magick). Hold the dragon pentacle facing the candle and say:
 
Draconis! Draconis!Draconis! Hear my call.
Three times I hail You, Listen, All!
This candle’s flame is like Your fire.
Dragons, bring my heart’s desire.
Dragon Power, come to me!
Hear my words. So Mote It Be.
Draconis! Draconis!Draconis!
 
If you have been given a dragon’s name and particularly want to call upon him/her, use this name instead of the word “Draconis” at the end of the Call in this ritual.
 
Visualize the dragon power and fire streaming from the dragon pentacle and entering the candle. After several moments, light the candle. For the fullest benefit, the candle should be allowed to burn completely out after the ritual is ended.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, Feb. 22

Strange forces continue to be on the prowl following yesterday’s tumultuous happenings. Now you need to deal with a rather strident Mars-Saturn contra-parallel (12:01AM PST) that can send shock waves and negative emotions moving through primary partnerships. Be extra sensitive to dear ones under duress. Fortunately, the annual Sun-Pallas union in Pisces clocks in at 9:48AM PST. This solar conjunction to Pallas can help you perform some unconventional wizardry concerning problem-solving, strategy sessions, in-depth research, and strengthening your immune system. Communication channels receive an energizing burst during the monthly Moon-Mercury union (4:36PM PST), but shortly thereafter the monthly Moon-Mars opposition (6:25PM PST) ignites potential mischief-making with associates or dear ones while also beginning a lengthy void lunar uncertainty zone lasting for over 24 hours until 6:49PM PST tomorrow. Finish old business during the void-of-course lunar cycle, but don’t launch new, bold enterprises until the Moon enters Aries on Thursday evening. Meanwhile, Venus forming an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Mars (8:26PM PST) throws a potential monkey wrench into the affairs of sweethearts. It is doubtful whether a shock-bringing Moon-Uranus parallel (11:00PM PST) will add a sense of calm. Do your best to bring happiness to a significant other without exhausting yourself in the process.

CANDLE SPELL AGAINST PSYCHIC ATTACK

CANDLE SPELL AGAINST PSYCHIC ATTACK

–white candle red candle black candle
Imagine a blue ball of energy inside the candles. Caress the candles as you chant:
Goddess of Three, I call upon thee,
To protect from those who wish to harm me
Keep them from using the gift from thee
Keep them from using thy gift to harm me
When you finish chanting, imagine the blue ball exploding into lines of blue.
Imagine the lines surrounding you and wrapping you in warm blue energy.
See the blue light as a shield. Know that it is unbreakable.
Think about how it is the Goddess’ Light protecting you.
Then put the candles someplace where they can burn undisturbed and let them burn themselves
out, sending all the energy into your shield. This spell is best performed during the full moon.
For longer effects you can make it a seven-day spell.

CANDLE SPELL FOR JUSTICE OR HELP IN LEGAL MATTERS

CANDLE SPELL FOR JUSTICE OR HELP IN LEGAL MATTERS

It does not require a sword only Tarot and candles.
You might want to burn some herbs or incense associated with justice while doing this spell.
Also a simple yet incredibly powerful protection spell is done with a small or medium sized
mirror you can hold in your hands.
While holding the mirror facing outwards in other words not showing your reflection but
turned to reflect out, turn in a counter clockwise circle to banish while saying:
Circle of reflection, Circle of protection,
May the sender of all harm, Feel the power of this charm.
This does not send any negative energy at the sender hence eliminating the cause
and effect portion of negativity adding to negativity but it reflects back anything being
directed at you. So it bounces off you instead of affecting you.
Circle three times full round chanting this or until you feel it is complete, then make
a closing statement such as: So Be It

CANDLE SPELL TO STOP HARASSMENT

CANDLE SPELL TO STOP HARASSMENT

Timing: During the waning moon. Use a brown candle (an image candle, if you can)
to represent the person who is harassing you.
Write the person’s name on the front and back of the candle.
On a small piece of parchment paper, write:
‘From now on, (name) will say nothing but sweet words about me and to me.
By the power of Aradia, so mote it be!’
Put a drop of honey in the middle of the paper and roll it into a ball.
Heat a knife, pin or your athame, make a gash in the candle (in its mouth, if it’s an image candle)
and stuff the paper ball into it.
Let the candle burn a little while every night for an odd number of nights, to a maximum
of nine nights. Throw the remnants into flowing water, but save some candle drippings
or ash to sprinkle in the path of your oppressor.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, February 21

The magical mystery tour continues today as our dreams overflow into the real world. An elusive Venus-Neptune alignment spurs romantic fantasies while the Moon shifts into hypersensitive Pisces at 12:31 pm EST and joins surreal Neptune to further dissolve reality; but a hard-edged Mercury-Saturn aspect prevents us from floating away with our thoughts. The Pisces New Moon at 5:34 pm marks a turning point as we start to put the past behind us.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may feel as if you’re in an imaginative bubble and time is standing still today as the Pisces New Moon falls in your 12th House of Escapism. You know that big changes are on the way, but temporarily everything seems to be moving in slow motion. Don’t ignore what’s happening now because you have to finish a current project while you still have time. Once you tie up loose ends, you’ll be able to move into the next phase of your life.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Today’s Pisces New Moon triggers your need to be with like-minded people as it brings to life your 11th House of Friends. However, you can be so overwhelmed by your imagination now that your cohorts may think you’ve lost touch with reality. Thankfully, they’ll begin to take you more seriously if you don’t ramble on endlessly about your visions. Share your hopes, but stop talking once you’ve said what’s on your mind.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Getting a handle on what’s happening at work today can be challenging, but don’t just throw your hands up in frustration and walk away. Although you might not be able to make sense out of the instructions you’re given now, simply follow your intuition and take the most sensible course of action. Whatever you do, the rules are likely to be changed. Shift gears as necessary or take a whole new approach if your current methods no longer do the trick.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be obsessed with dreams of an exotic vacation, yet it would be a shame to waste the current opportunity without at least making a plan. At this point it really doesn’t matter if you cannot afford taking time off from work or if the costs are beyond your budget. What does matter is that you actually attempt to make your fantasy come true. Your preliminary explorations won’t require additional resources now, and you can always focus on the details later if you decide to embark on your escapade.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are often so self-sufficient that it may be difficult now to get the help you need. Your co-workers might be hesitant to offer assistance, even if you would appreciate a little support. Although you could be in over your head, you don’t want to appear as if you’re desperate. Thankfully, it isn’t too late; ask for what you need, even if it means revealing your vulnerability. You don’t have to be perfect; others will rally to your defense if you’re willing to meet them halfway.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Everyone seems a bit unreliable today as the Pisces New Moon confuses your 7th House of Partners. You may expect one thing to occur, but something else comes out of left field. You could quickly become anxious if you are overly rigid in your approach to the day. However, being less self-critical now also enables you to loosen your judgment of others. Being flexible is a smart strategy to get you through these uncertain times.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The imaginative Pisces New Moon lands in your 6th House of Habits, prompting you to start a new regimen to improve your well-being. A healthier diet and more effective exercise program usually sounds like a good idea, but you often lack the serious commitment required to make it work. Thankfully, your intentions go a long way today, and starting a new routine can have a lasting positive impact. An enduring little change makes more sense now than a big one that doesn’t last.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The magical Pisces New Moon smiles on your 5th House of Love and Creativity today. A romantic fantasy might be exactly what you need, even if you don’t actually do anything about it. Yet a wonderful experience that takes place only within your imagination can still have real implications if you choose to act on your feelings now or later on. Whether you tell anyone or not, give yourself permission to feel the current attraction without worrying about where it may lead you.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You would be wise to keep your feelings to yourself today as the confusing Pisces New Moon lands in your 4th House of Roots. Your emotions are best left at home now; sharing your private life at work might not be the smartest move. However, don’t slip into denial about what’s happening. Instead of shutting yourself off from your heart, it’s healthier to write in a journal or talk about your personal issues with a trusted friend.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A close friend or family member might do something that confuses you today, but don’t let this become the main focus of your day. You have important things to do and shouldn’t waste time trying to figure out someone else’s motives. If you’re really curious, be direct and ask them what’s going on. However, if satisfactory answers aren’t readily forthcoming, let it go for now; you can return to the conundrum another time.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s Pisces New Moon activates your 2nd House of Money, inspiring visionary ideas about increasing your income. But your thoughts won’t necessarily lead to financial rewards because you might be misled by your own idealism now. Be smart and consider everything that comes to mind, but don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Today’s New Moon falls in your creative sign, offering you a new lease on life. There’s no limit to what you can dream up in your mind now, but there’s also nothing to be gained by rushing into anything just yet. You are at the edge of an imaginative journey, but your thoughts will eventually solidify into reality. Move cautiously and consider all your options prior to focusing on any one path.

New Moon Report for February 21 – New Moon in Pisces

New Moon Report for February 21

by Jeff Jawer

 

New Moon in Pisces

Tuesday, February 21, 2:35 pm PST, 5:35 pm EST

Every New Moon in Pisces is an invitation to dive into an ocean of emotion. This boundless sea of feelings can inspire our dreams or flood us with confusion. Idealistic Neptune’s conjunction to this spiritual lunation brings us even closer to a cosmic sense of unity that stirs religious fervor and enhances imagination. Boundaries melt away to deepen our connections with one another and with nature, spurring compassion, hope, faith and charity.

The Pisces New Moon is like a warm bath that drains our worries away. It soothes the pains of isolation and disappointment by floating us above the complexities of daily life. Taking breaks from routine activities to nourish the soul with sweet music, tender touches and spiritual reflection restores hope and rewards us with a greater awareness of our divinity.

Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, February 21

Easy does it! Days like this don’t happen that often – when a New Moon (activating 3 degrees of Pisces at 2:36PM PST) occurs with a wide variety of significant alignments. In addition, until that 2:36PM PST moment, the dark-of-the-moon monthly cycle is in effect – reminding you to finish enterprises begun during the last four weeks. To get a sense of today’s complexity, examine the following list of aspects as the Moon forms a contra-parallel to Mars (12:22AM PST), the Moon parallels Mercury (8:13AM PST), a void-of-course lunar cycle in Aquarius happens from 8:18AM PST to 9:32AM PST, Venus makes a 45-degree link to Neptune (9:21AM PST), the Moon enters Pisces (9:32AM PST), the Moon unites with Neptune (10:49AM PST), Mercury forms a 135-degree tie to Saturn (12:38PM PST), the Moon unites with Pallas (3:37PM PST), the Sun makes a 30-degree contact with Uranus (3:59PM PST), the Moon unites with Chiron (6:55PM PST), Mercury forms a contra-parallel with Venus (6:56PM PST) and the Moon makes a 60-degree link with Jupiter (8:10PM PST). When a dozen solar, lunar and interplanetary aspects vie for supremacy and you are shifting from an Old Moon to a New Moon vibration, count your blessings. It is not a sign of weakness to take several time-outs in order to catch your breath and revamp your game plan for overall success and achievements during the next several weeks. Studying metaphysics and advanced subjects in any field of knowledge is encouraged as the Moon unites with the trio of Neptune, Pallas and Chiron during only an 8-hour time-span.

Cosmic Calendar for Monday, February 20th

Slow your tempo across the board as the universe takes a well-deserved siesta. Except for a gentle and peace-loving Moon-Venus 60-degree sextile pattern (4:29AM PST), a dreamy-visionary Moon-Neptune parallel (7:13AM PST) and a logic-enhancing Moon-Saturn parallel (11:33PM PST), the cosmic scene is relatively quiescent. Love vibrations increase in wavelength – thanks to the Moon-Venus and Moon-Neptune contacts. Allow your multi-faceted personality to express itself with an experimental and improvisational tone to match the lunar currents flying high in Aquarius. Continue enjoying your affiliation with groups, clubs and organizations that fit well with your outlook on society and cultural values. Think more about your exalted destiny on Spaceship Earth rather than superficial interests. Join forces with like-minded souls who are trying to help their fellow human travelers awaken to their global citizenship. This is especially the case as this Monday evening morphs into Tuesday morning when a torrent of cosmic aspects arrives in concert with the Pisces New Moon.

Color: White
Element: Earth
Altar: On a white cloth lay a single lit white candle and a bell.

Daily Meal: Soft food that does not make crunching noise, such as soups or cooked grains.

Tacita Invocation

Goddess of Silence,
You whose stop the tongue
Before it can speak harm,
Before it can speak lies,
Before it can gossip,
And finally
Before it can say anything
That is not necessary,
Teach us about the still spaces
Between ourselves and each other
Between ourselves and our path
Between ourselves and the Gods.

(The person doing the invocation then rings the bell, and from that moment on, silence reigns again. All sit in meditation about the altar for a time, and each may leave quietly when it seems right.)

Invocation to Pisces

Glimmer in the deepest waters,
Dweller in water salt as tears,
Sacrificed and sacrificing,
Neptune’s elusive child
Bathed in obscuring mystery,
Whose gift is Faith,
Bless us with the ability
To step beyond ourselves
And learn compassion
For all beings.
By the power of all believing,
You challenge us
To remember always
That we are part of a destiny
Much greater than ourselves,
One in the Many
And Many in the One.
May we go forth
Always in hope.

Chant:
Born of water, cleansing, powerful, flowing, healing, we are….

(Let one who is chosen to do the work of the ritual walk about with the chalice of water and bless each person on the head with the waters of Pisces. Then let them walk about with the pot of salve and ask, “Dost thy heart need healing?” If the answer is no, let them bow to each other, and the bearer say, “Then have thou compassion for those who do.” If the answer is yes, s/he will rub a bit of the salve on the person’s heart chakra, and say, “By the grace of the Gods, may thou be healed.” Then the water is poured out as a libation.)

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 19th

Once you make it through a Moon-Saturn square (1:23AM PST) – that also begins a void-of-course lunar cycle lasting until 2:29AM PST – the Moon arrives in airy, universal Aquarius for the next 2+ days. Group projects, team sports and community involvement are highlighted. A Mercury-Saturn parallel (8:11AM PST) points you in the direction of seriously pursuing career goals and professional milestones. The key alignment of the day is the annual Sun-Neptune union in Pisces (12:42PM PST) – a powerful conjunction that was hinted at yesterday when these same two celestial bodies were in parallel formation. The emphasis continues to be on exploring your spirituality, religious beliefs, and philosophy of life, as well as tapping into your creative imagination and psychic sensitivity. Steer clear of confusion, chaos and any kind of nebulosity that leaves you emotionally depleted and physically drained of energy. Enjoy board, card and word games to your heart’s content, but don’t press the anger button if frustration mounts since Mercury makes a contra-parallel to Mars (6:17PM PST). Breakthroughs in consciousness and problem-solving via your intuition can coincide with a subtle and yet still helpful 30-degree rapport between Pallas and Uranus (9:25PM PST). Inventions and innovations that can lead to real patents and financial benefits are par for the course whenever wisdom-generating Pallas hooks up with lightning-like Uranus.
