Current Moon Phase for November 18th – Waxing Crescent

Crescent Moon

(waxing/45-90 degrees)

During this Moon phase, there is a slight slowing down of enthusiasm due to an emerging desire to produce tangible results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. There is still plenty of forward motion, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon phase favors gaining more information and the input of others to further your plans.

Your Daily Horoscopes for November 17th

Although the mood of the day is still a bit somber, the heaviness of the earthy Capricorn Moon and Mars is eased today. Impulsive Mars forms a cooperative sextile with dreamy Neptune, luring us to temporarily escape into fantasies. Meanwhile, the complex Scorpio Sun joins retrograde Mercury to turn our thinking inward. Setting aside time for contemplation helps us resolve the tension between Neptune’s intuitive path and Mercury’s need for logic.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Recent promises become more pressing today, requiring you to do the right thing, but your desires may distort your sense of reality. You think you know what to do, but your thoughts could be so overrun with irrational fears and desires that you head off in the wrong direction. Ask for advice and listen to it before you set your course.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may believe that your mastery of detail is on point today, but it’s easy to skip over a critical piece of data. Others will appreciate your sincerity even in the most casual interactions. Thankfully, you don’t have to sell your ideas; instead, just imagine yourself as teaching people to better understand your vision of tomorrow. Keep an open mind so you can incorporate what you learn as you go.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You like having enough freedom to improvise, but you may not have this luxury today. You might possibly push back against authority, but you could wear yourself out in the process. This is like a training exercise that helps you develop your talents through a concentrated effort. A little self-discipline now enables you to grow more than you expect.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Balancing your needs with those of others can be a major issue today. You want to be caring and compassionate, but you also must establish clear limits. Unfortunately, this process isn’t as straightforward as a simple yes or no. Exploring the full range of possibilities between the extremes makes relationships easier to manage now.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you are tempted to run off and play, you may have to roll up your sleeves and get ready for hard work today. Organizing your schedule in advance is a more a more successful strategy. Be as resourceful as possible, for this is not a time to act like a diva. What’s most important when facing your chores now is to be humble and just do the best you can.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your natural sense of discrimination allows you to be very creative today by screening out extraneous distractions. The ambitious Capricorn Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Play enables you to enjoy expressing yourself while still being productive. Go ahead and proudly demonstrate your skills. Even if you don’t achieve your goal, you can still learn a valuable lesson by taking a risk.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Take care of your basic needs today before doing anything else because this gives you a sense of much-needed security. Pay close attention to your family, as outsiders might distract you from what’s most important. You may be able to impress others now, but don’t make that your primary goal. Instead, stick to the essentials to get the most out of this day.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Relying on your common sense is your best bet now, since it gives you the ability to see patterns where others see chaos. However, you might find it difficult to get anyone else to understand your intentions, so take your time and cover the details step by step. Fortunately, the Sun’s conjunction with retrograde Mercury in your sign enables you to communicate your position effectively as long as you don’t rush the process of telling your story.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 2nd House of Resources reminds you that managing your money is actually a matter of self-respect. You may prefer to have the freedom to ignore your financial responsibilities at times. Nevertheless, when you take control of your budget, you might actually wind up having more cash to spend. Be patient; doing less is better now than doing too much.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The receptive Moon in your hardworking sign prompts you to feel extra sensitive today. However, it also brings on feelings of heightened responsibility, possibly based on guilt. Although you’re not immune to experiencing low self-esteem, an honest show of emotions could be helpful. Remember, revealing your vulnerability to someone you trust is actually a sign of inner strength.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your powers of observation are quite strong today, as long as you trust your instincts. However, there’s no need to worry about every little thing down to the tiniest detail. Instead, back away from your regular routines so that you can gain a wider perspective on your life. Ask for help; wisdom might come from someone who you consider to be a valuable mentor.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Sometimes you exhibit more compassion for others than you do for yourself. Fortunately, you can be a great friend for someone you want to get to know better by offering calm and practical advice today. Remember, some of the difficulties you’ve recently had are now your most powerful sources of insight. Integrating your own experiences into the present moment empowers you to communicate with more conviction.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 17th

Keep your eyes focused on the prize. Being in charge and reaching the top of the totem pole make sense following last night’s Mars move into Capricorn and with the Moon in this sign until tomorrow morning. Looking upward and onward is a key to enhancing your stature in the greater community and in your main fields of expertise.  Assisting you in reaching important worldly pinnacles are a creative and imaginative, 60-degree tie from Mars to Neptune (6:23AM PST) as well as the Inferior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury retrograde at 26 degrees of Scorpio (7:48AM PST). A conjunction of this kind happens approximately every four months and can only occur when Mercury is in reverse and between the Sun and Earth. Visualize this astronomically as a line-up in the solar system of the Earth, Mercury, and the Sun. You can think of it as a New Mercury — when cosmic seed-ideas are seeking entrance into the eager minds of human beings.  Additional reinforcement is waiting in the wings later on as Mercury makes a subtle and yet still constructive, 30-degree rapport with Venus (6:20PM PST) while the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree tie with Mercury (7:47PM PST). Catch up with correspondence, literary and educational endeavors.  Another void lunar cycle intervenes when the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree link to the Sun (9:55PM PST). While this Moon-Sun contact may feel good and inspirational, it launches a void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 4:11AM PST tomorrow morning when the Moon enters service-oriented Aquarius. Keep a low profile as Saturday night morphs into Sunday morning.

Weekend Love Horoscopes

November 16 – 18: Channel Your Energies

Jeff Jawer Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

The Moon moves into responsible Capricorn on Friday morning, pushing us to strive for ambitious goals and commit to the hard work and dedication to reach them. Usually, this earthy sign inspires us to establish plans and stick to them in a particular order. This sense of control and predictability makes us feel safe enough to trust others and open our hearts.

But stability may be hard to come by on Friday, as the Moon crashes into volatile Uranus and opposes volcanic Pluto. Emotions can be intense and circumstances could shift in an instant. Instead of fighting these tides of change, it’s best to adapt to surprises with as much grace and flexibility as possible. Macho Mars also enters calculating Capricorn on Friday night, adding to the desire to restrain feelings and manage circumstances.

Taking on a practical project or setting a goal that demands some effort is a constructive way to channel this energy. Playing games is fine, as long as the activity itself is more important than the outcome. When one person tries too hard to win, the other can feel like a loser, which is not conducive to intimacy. A lunar move into airy Aquarius on Sunday morning should make things friendlier and less competitive. Inventive and unusual experiences are fun ways to connect if we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 16th

The cosmos is trying to come to your defense and ease your psychic pain — following the trio of discordant aspects that seemed to come out of nowhere yesterday. The big problem early on today is that the Moon makes its monthly union with the red planet Mars in late Sagittarius (1:45AM PST). This not only has the capacity to increase volatility across the board, but it begins a short void lunar uncertainty cycle that lasts until 2:37AM PST when the Moon enters earthy, industrious Capricorn.  Meanwhile, there is a potential mellowing-out taking place as Juno forms an inspirational, 72-degree link to far-out Neptune (2:20AM PST) while Venus trines Vesta in air signs (2:38AM PST) — happening just 1 minute after the void lunar cycle is over. The Juno-Neptune and Venus-Vesta alignments — occurring just 18 minutes apart — are a big boost for women in general, forging sisterhood ties, and creative artistic expression.  Once the Moon is solidly in the tenth zodiacal sign of Capricorn (2:37AM PST), it is natural to strive to reach the executive penthouse by climbing the ladder to worldly success. Determination and hard work are the dynamic duo leading you to new heights of responsibility. Helping you along the way is a sensitive and yet purposeful trine from Saturn to Chiron (3:24AM PST).  Mood swings can change quite a bit later on when the Moon makes its monthly union with Pluto in Capricorn (3:19PM PST). While this lunar connection with the planet of the underworld has a tendency to equate with rising worries and fears, your ability to tune into spiritual willpower and mental concentration — like a laser beam used in medicine and manufacturing — can become a saving grace right when you need it the most.  Keep track of the shift by Mars from Sagittarius to Capricorn (6:37PM PST). The red planet remains in its sign of exaltation until December 25, 2012. Mars in Capricorn can always be utilized to stimulate career planning and professional advances.

Crescent Moon Night Invocation

In the dark of night
You are the source of light.
Our ancestors gathered at this time,
Protected by the silvery glow
That drove the demons from the dark fields.
Selene, Moon Mother of the white breast,
Milk-giver, fountain of life,
You speak to us of sustenance,
Of bringing to fruition, to climax.
Yemaya, reflection of the full moon
On the surface of the ocean,
You speak to us of inner tides,
Of feelings swelling like waves.
Thoth, writer and calculator
Who took pity on a mother’s plight,
You count the days, the moments,
You speak of trust in the universe
Proven by the lunar cycle,
Something we can always count on,
Something we will always see.
What is done under Crescent Moon Night
Is seen by the gods both of Darkness and Light.

(Let each come forward and be given milk to drink, and a moon-cake to eat. Then let all process in a slow spiral dance, chanting.)

What is done under Crescent Moon Night
Is seen by the gods of both Darkness and Light.

Simple Wish Chant for Fortune

SIMPLE WISH CHANT FOR FORTUNE

You may use this only three times in between the new moons.

While gazing at the moon, repeat the following:

 

Moon, moon, beautiful moon, brighter then any star
Goddess of light and love, Diana
If it might be, pray bring fortune unto me.
 

A sign that the spell worked would be coins doubling in the purse or pocket, or seeing a hare before dawn.

Note: the spell won’t work if done with evil intent.

 

Spell Working

SPELL WORKING
by Koren

Because of the very nature of magick, each working should be highly
individualized and personal.  Even if following a traditional spell, it should
be tailored to your specific needs to be most effective for you.
Understanding the basics of spell construction will enable you to formulate
your own specific, effective spells for any purpose you desire.

Preliminary planning is necessary.  The very first step is to decide precisely
what your desired end result is to be.  Before you can start, you must decide
where you are going.  You must be very explicit.

It is important, also, that you choose your time carefully.  You should take
into consideration all astrological implications, energy currents and moon
phases.

The moon is the astronomical body closest to us and, therefore, has a profound
influence upon us, it is very important to choose a time when the moon is in
an astrological sign which is appropriate for your working.

For example:

Aries/action – enthusiasm

Taurus/renewal – sensuality

Gemini/communication – curiosity

Cancer/emotion – nurturing

Leo/vitality – determined

Virgo/organizing – studious

Libra/balance – cooperation

Scorpio/sexual – philosophical

Sagitarius/strength – humour

Capricorn/authority – ambitious

Aquarius/innovation – social

Pisces/sensitivity – idealistic.

Bear in mind that magickal workings for gain, increase or bringing things to
you, should be initiated when the moon is waxing (from dark to full);  when
the moon is waning (from full to dark), it is time for magickal workings of
decrease or sending away.

The highest energy occurs at the full moon and, therefore, this is the most
powerful time for magickal workings.  The new moon is the next most powerful
time for magick.

Whenever possible, follow nature’s natural energy currents.  There is a
natural time for starting things (a planting time), for maturing things (a
growing time), for reaping things ( a harvest time) and, of course, a time for
rest and planning.

Flowing with these currents will make your magickal work much easier. remember
to plan your project for a time of uninterrupted privacy.  It is important
that you have no distractions.  Generally speaking, it is best to work as late
at night as possible.  A time when there is less frantic energy is most
appropriate.  You might consider midnight or later.

In choosing a place to do your magickal working pay particular attention to
your needs, for you must be comfortable.  Your place should be private, quiet
and secure.  If at all possible, set aside a special place for this purpose
only.  An unused room, a special corner of your bedroom, a quiet, secluded
spot in your garden.  A place that is yours.  A place that you can come to
whenever need arises and that is as free from intrusion of others as possible.

Prior to the night of your magickal working, gather together the things that
you will need.  All of the things used are tools.  They have no inherent
magick.  They are to help you create a mood.  If correctly made and used, they
will trigger primitive responses from deep within you.  They should be chosen
with care.  Consider the purpose of your ritual and choose your tools
accordingly.  If your magick is to be sexual, your candles, oils, incenses and
so forth, should bring forth a sexual response.  If the desired result of your
magick is tranquillity, then the tools should make you feel calm, peaceful and
serene.  Any candles you might use should not have commercially added
fragrances as these may not be appropriate for your working.

Prior to your ritual, prepare yourself and your equipment by any means
necessary to clean and purify.  Historically, people have fasted, followed
meticulous and detailed bathing practices, practiced chastity and used many
other methods.

Most often a ritual bath is the preferred method.  A bath frequently utilizing
candlelight, fragrant herbs, bath salts or sensuous oils. A sumptuous hot
bath, special bathing preparations and appropriate lighting, combined, can
create the soothing effect which will help in the very important step of
relaxing and clearing the mind completely of all mundane thoughts and
experiences of the day.  Your ritual bath should, also, begin to set the
specific vibrations conducive to your purpose into motion.  You must not only
cleanse and purify but must, also, begin to create the type of energy
necessary. Once your purification process has been accomplished, you are now
ready to begin.  Proceed to the special place you have previously chosen in
which to perform your magick.  If at all possible, you should make use of the
primitive responses set into motion by a well chosen piece of music.  Your
music should start slowly and build to a rousing climax.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, November 15

Although we might choose to look at the brighter side of life today, the heavy footsteps of consequences are not far behind our actions. An anxious quincunx between karmic Saturn and erratic Uranus pushes us to take risks. Unfortunately, we may act too quickly; but then reality settles in, requiring hard work to make things right. Nevertheless, the uplifting Sagittarius Moon turns us into optimists, even if we must learn the truth the hard way.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

If you’re invited to join others on an adventure today, it’s tempting to just say yes when you really should say no. Naturally, you could argue that you deserve to overdo it a little when you are feeling good. This might be true, but a little intelligent self-restraint goes a long way toward saving you from a headache. Politely declining now doesn’t mean you can’t find a different way to have fun later on.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s challenging to get into the groove of working today, especially if the anticipation of an exciting experience is already pulling you toward the weekend. Pursuing pleasure sounds like a good idea, but it probably won’t pay the bills. Be your own boss; don’t wait for someone else to tell you what to do. The fun will be waiting for you once your job is done.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your friends and coworkers may be more positive in their current outlook than you, which can make it difficult to just go along with their plans. Your internal resistance might stem from fears of going too far, rather than any specific negativity. Nevertheless, reaching beyond your regular limits can be quite rewarding today. Perhaps the dark clouds really do have silver linings now.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Conflicts between current responsibilities and your desire for long-term freedom can trigger your anxieties today because it seems the two are irreconcilable. You could relieve the pressure by deciding there is no need to choose one or the other. Take care of the most important details right away while continuing to plan for the future.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might have settled into a frustrating pattern where it seems as if others are not as clear with you as you are with them. This problem could be even greater today as your desires run into this same dilemma of uncertainty. Instead of leaning on someone’s feedback for your direction now, just follow your own heart wherever it leads.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You like to be concise in your communications and precise in your definitions, especially when it comes to your job. Now, however, it’s more difficult to know exactly what’s going on. Even if the lack of clarity is bothering you, don’t push for more specificity than is currently available. The details will become apparent just in time.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus encourages you to act nicely to everyone, but being an entertainment director only adds to your stress today. Thankfully, you should be able to turn the pressure into a creative flow. But this isn’t necessarily about making something artistic; instead of focusing on production, work your magic in a relationship that needs your special attention now.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you may have plenty of work already on your plate, your inner world is brimming with new ideas that can increase your income. Don’t let yourself get so distracted by the demands of daily production today that you don’t have time to think about ways to improve your life. Simply taking a few time-outs from a hectic schedule enables you to consider your options. No action is required now as long as you are open to making changes in the near future.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Even if you think that you have reached the top, a higher peak on another mountain comes into view today. If you believed that you already maxed out, now you might realize that even more is possible. Remember, however, that there are limits to your current growth, even when the sky seems close enough to touch. Stop for a moment and just be proud of your achievements, instead of trying to reach even higher.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A political idea or a philosophical belief can become so important to you now that you start obsessing over it. You could even slip into denial about something quite important. It’s possible to get yourself into financial difficulties rather quickly today if you don’t pay attention to the bottom line. Don’t let your imagination run away with your stability. Ultimately, you’re better off trusting your innate common sense over temporary pie-in-the-sky dreaming.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be feeling more optimistic about your long-term goals today, but your chances of getting exactly what you want aren’t quite as good as they seem. Your tendency now is to avoid problems, even if it’s by denial. Confronting the truth isn’t always fun, but it’s exactly what you need at this time. Act on facts, not fantasy, to achieve greater success.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Someone who appears to be your ally now might not be as friendly as you think. Tread cautiously because it’s likely that you aren’t getting the whole picture today. It’s not that others are actually against you; it’s more likely that they’re waiting to see if you’ll be able to deliver on your promises. Instead of worrying about who’s on your side and who’s not, just do the best you can to ensure that you’ll receive the cooperation you want.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 15th

If you think that Tuesday’s Total Solar Eclipse and Wednesday’s shift by Chiron are ancient history, think again. As indicated on prior dates in this calendar, major celestial alignments and events from the day before or two days before are still percolating in the psychic atmosphere — influencing mega-millions of human beings around the globe.  Fortunately, the lunar orb in Sagittarius carries a note of positive thinking, opportunity knocking, and essential optimism. This is certainly reinforced during the monthly Moon-Juno union (7:33AM PST). Energize primary partnerships in a respectful, balanced and harmonious manner. Be more fashion-conscious and check out the latest clothing designs and hair styles. Love vibrations increase in frequency when the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree tie with Venus (2:30PM PST).  However, tensions start to rise shortly after this sky pattern occurs as Venus forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Pallas (3:54PM PST), Saturn makes a similar, 150-degree liaison with Uranus (4:28PM PST) while Mercury parallels Pluto (6:44PM PST). Ouch! These three challenging alignments — happening within three hours — can easily cast a pall over the rest of the day and send you to a corner of the school room with a dunce cap on your head.  Don’t go on an egocentric tear or push your agenda at all cost. The past (Saturn) and future (Uranus) are clashing, and problem-solving is more difficult than usual. Strive for greater objectivity, peace of mind and serenity to get through this 24-hour time-period relatively unscathed.
