If your feelings and emotions are tugging at your heart-strings, you are definitely tuning into the cosmic vibes right now. The Sun in Cancer and Moon in Pisces are a feast for the senses – especially since the lunar orb is uniting with Neptune (2:41AM PDT) as well as Chiron (2:38PM PDT). Read more widely in the fields of astrology, metaphysics and space travel. Interest grows in pyramid power, psychic sensitivity, meditation, affirmations, yoga, UFOs and ETS. Deja vu experiences and telepathic communications are not as far out as they used to be. Antique hunters can have a field day picking up old treasures having to do with oceanic scenes and nautical history. Weather-permitting, water sports magnetically draw millions to water resorts. Learn more about advances on the cutting edge of holistic healing as Venus squares off with Chiron (6:51PM PDT). However, leaping into an alternative medical treatment or heavy-duty pharmaceutical drugs without serious review and reflection is not advised. Assimilate as many facts and testimonials as possible before becoming a human guinea pig. The good news is that dancing the night away is in the cards as Pisces Moon gives you happy feet.

Current Moon Phase for July 7th – Waning Disseminating
Disseminating Moon
(waning /135-90 degrees)
This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.
Your Magickal Spell for Saturday, July 7 – Intuition Pouch
Intuition Pouch
One of the most important ways of strengthening your intuition is to believe in it and to set aside some time to sit quietly and see or listen to your inner thoughts. Traditionally, your intuition is stronger when the moon is either dark or full. At the next dark moon, make an intuition pouch to help you tune into your deepest thoughts.
Items You Will Need:
Choose three of the following oils: cloves, patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense
Choose three of the following herbs: bay laurel, cinnamon, cloves, mugwort
A small glass bowl
A low table covered with a clean cloth
A dark blue candle
A small circular piece of dark blue cloth
A length of black string or embroidery thread
Matches
A comfortable cushion to sit on
Best Time To Cast:
The last day of the waning moon (the dark moon).
The Spell:
Mix the oils and herbs in the bowl and place it on the table along with the candle, the piece of cloth and the string or embroidery thread. Light the candle and turn out the lights. Sit in front of the table on a cushion and look into the light. Relax, calm your mind, and focus on the light of the candle. When you feel ready, place the pile of herbs onto the cloth, saying the following words:
“Open the starlit veil of night,
so I may see with inner sight:
By magic’s art, reveal to me,
The hidden things I wish to see.”
Gather the cloth up, with the herbs still inside, and tie the ends together, so that it makes a pouch, with the string or embroidery thread. Wear your pouch at times when you want your intuition to be at its strongest.
Good Saturday Morning, my dear, dear friends!
Good Morning to all my dear friends! I hope you are having a fantastic morning and staying cool. This little guy above is about the way I feel today. We have nine days of temperatures above 100 degrees. Not a drop of rain for a month now, just hot, hot, hot temps. After a while the heat starts to take a toll on a person. According to our weather people (half the time they don’t know what they are talking about, lol!), today is suppose to be our last day in the 100’s for a few days. I think tomorrow is suppose to be 95 and that will feel like a cold snap has come through, lol!
I shouldn’t complain, I am more fortunate than some. I think about those poor people around Washington, D. C. No power, no A/C, they can’t even turn on a fan to beat the heat. They must be miserable. I feel so sorry for them. I pray their power will be restored soon and their lives can get back to normal.
There are so many in need in this country right now. We can’t forget those people in the West that are battling the wildfires. All the firefighters risking their lives daily. Plus all the homeowners that have lost everything. My heart truly breaks for them. I can’t imagine getting up one morning, everything perfectly normally. Then there is a knock on the door, a person telling you to grab what you can, you have to leave. You get in your car, as you look back, your house has already started going up in flames. Everything you have worked your entire life for, gone in a matter of minutes. Oh Goddess, how horrible.
With there being so much need in this country right now. Will you take a moment today to say this prayer with me and light a candle, please.
O dearest Goddess, Mother of the green
Earth, blue waters and the silver Moon,
please be with us now in our hour of
need. Stress, confusion and chaos have
take hold of our lives, and we can feel
the weight of life’s burdens suffocating
us. We are truly afraid, but we know that
You in all Your loving kindness will hear
us now, and we will feel the heavy weight
getting easier to bear.
O dearest God, Father of the dark forests
and shimmering mountains, grant us
your spiritual strength that we need so
much now, so that we may come through
this time of crisis and get back to our
normal life once again.
Blessed Be!
Today’s Tarot Card for July 6th is The Chariot
The Chariot
This Tarot Deck: Art Nouveau
General Meaning: Traditionally, the card usually entitled the Chariot points to a triumphal feeling of freedom, as if the charioteer is being paraded through the streets as a hero (or heroine). The card reflects congratulations for high achievement, and serves as a sign of empowerment.
Huge wheels and frisky steeds speed the rate at which the driver’s willpower can be realized. This kind of charge makes more of the world accessible to anyone ambitious enough to seize the Chariot’s reins. But there is danger in this feeling of freedom, because of the increased rate of change and its power to magnify mistakes in judgment. As a seasoned warrior, the Charioteer is called upon to be extra attentive to the way ahead.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 6
We may be more concerned with the larger issues of humanity today than with our own unique dilemmas. The emotionally detached Aquarius Moon encourages us to think about general concepts rather than individual concerns. However, looking at everything from a more global perspective can be problematic since the security-conscious Cancer Sun still pulls us back to more personal issues that involve our homes, families, and close relationships.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your life may be more complicated than it appears now, yet you don’t want anyone to see how much you are keeping to yourself. It’s easier to be socially engaged if you downplay your unorthodox interests. Restraining your impulsive behavior is wise because your need for independence clashes with your current desire to build lasting relationships. Remember, there’s no reason to share all your thoughts and fantasies with anyone else unless that’s what you really want to do.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You have an uncanny sense about the right thing to do in a relationship today. Unfortunately, choosing the responsible path over a more playful one may not be a lot of fun, but you can still feel good about acting in a self-disciplined manner. Being practical is not flashy, but it enables you to prepare for the future, which ultimately can bring you an enduring satisfaction.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Even the strongest dose of common sense may not be sufficient to keep you on task today because you are so easily distracted by the light of your own brilliance. However, shiny objects aren’t as enticing as great ideas now, so it’s hard to be motivated simply by the temptation of more money. Thankfully, a unique approach to your current job might enable you to make a long-awaited breakthrough. Keep refocusing on your goals if you want to achieve success.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
It’s difficult to express your feelings today. If you find yourself in a deep discussion with a powerful person, your fear of rejection might tempt you to withdraw to protect your security. But even if you face the resistance, your words might not flow easily now because your emotions are still in flux. Be patient, it becomes more natural to speak your mind once your changing moods begin to settle down. Take time to listen to your heart.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your expectations are very high today, increasing the chances of being let down by a close friend or family member. But others appear to be out of touch with their feelings. If someone very close to you seems to have lost her way, lending a sympathetic ear is better now than trying to make a heroic rescue. Concentrate on reaching your goals and setting an example for others to follow.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Most tasks handed off to you today are potential opportunities for you to develop a new and exciting method that saves everyone time. But it’s crucial to know when to quit or you could spend the entire day seeking the next great breakthrough, even if the tried and true way would have worked just fine. Sometimes the same old approach is the most reliable thing you can do. Demonstrate your keen intelligence by choosing which path makes the most sense now for the job at hand.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The sensitive Cancer Sun is halfway through its month-long journey through your 10th House of Career, possibly bringing you well-deserved recognition at work. But taskmaster Saturn is also in the equation today, requiring you to give your assignments all you can. Expect amazing results, for even if you don’t quite meet your goals, your chances for success are greatly enhanced by your confident attitude and your extra effort.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’re able to shine your light brightly today because you can see great potential wherever you look. However, blind optimism is not a wise strategy; it only inflates and then dashes your expectations. Nevertheless, your willingness to assume the best outcome could open one door after another to opportunities that you would have just walked by at another time in your life.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You’re not particularly interested in undertaking a major project by yourself these days. Fortunately, your world is full of amazing people, each with something special to offer. You might expect it to be easy to find someone willing to work with you, but everyone seems to be too busy now. However, don’t give up searching for a business or personal partner. Accepting less than you want may seem wise in the moment, but it’s even better to wait for the right person.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your ruling planet Saturn is softened by a harmonious trine from the nurturing Moon today. Normally, rational Saturn and the emotional Moon send conflicting messages, but your steady work now seems to garner beneficial results. Find the balance between knowing exactly what you want and realizing that you cannot fulfill every desire. Prioritize the potential pleasures in front of you, carefully choose your best shot at happiness and then take it.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You might be so confident today that you think you can do everything. Unfortunately, spreading yourself too thin makes it impossible to finish even the simplest chores. Don’t be so blinded by your own illuminating ideas that you lose sight of the practical realities that still govern your life. It’s more important now to be responsible than it is to act like a genius.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You could be undecided about a significant personal issue because you can see it from both sides now. Your enthusiasm tempts you to say yes and jump wholeheartedly into the new project, but your heightened common sense is screaming no. Forcing a decision today only leads you to change your mind farther down the road, so take your time before making a final choice.
Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for July 6 – 8
Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope
by Jeff Jawer
Go with the FlowJuly 6 – 8 |
Slow down, take a rest, breathe deeply, and then exhale. Remember that feeling this weekend: it’s a time to let go. The watery Pisces Moon wears down walls and washes away barriers; it’s a spiritual sign that draws us into collective seas of emotions. When we trust the universe we find peace and synchronicity, and when we fight it we become lost and confused. Put away old agendas and avoid making rigid plans. This is a very sensitive time when vulnerabilities float to the surface. Yet when feelings are flowing and hearts are forgiving, miracles happen.
A lunar conjunction with Pisces’ impressionistic planet Neptune floods the pre-dawn hours on Saturday, giving rise to inspirational dreams. Imagination also grows with a boost from boundless Jupiter before the Moon’s smart sextile with pointed Pluto sharpens perceptions and deepens conversations in the middle of the day.
The guileless Pisces Moon then squares erotic Venus in cerebral Gemini to set the stage for a memorable evening. We encounter a contrast between the Fishes’ urge to merge and the Twins’ love of change. If this experience doesn’t go well, feelings will be hurt. A sense of rejection or being underappreciated can be painful. But all you have to do is let go. Freedom and joy come from releasing expectations and appreciating the moment simply for what it is. Delight is plentiful when judgment gives way to faith.

Current Moon Phase for July 6th – Full Moon (Waning)
Full Moon
(waning/180-135 degrees)
A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.
The Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 4th
Let freedom ring today! We have an opportunity to express our desires as irrepressible Uranus electrifies communicator Mercury and romantic Venus. Nevertheless, we still want to gain ground today since the ambitious Capricorn Moon is like a sure-footed Mountain Goat who can climb steep hills and reach heights beyond our greatest expectations. Long-range planning becomes more important when the Moon shifts into futuristic Aquarius at 8:25 pm EDT.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It feels as if new information is bombarding you from multiple directions today, encouraging you to change your mind. However, what you learn now doesn’t necessarily arrive through normal communication channels. It’s as if you have been offered a direct pipeline to the center of the cosmos, but the truth is that it’s really coming from your own imagination. Write down your dreams, for they can tell you exactly what you need to know.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your current attempts at taking it easy are shattered as friends shock you into a new frame of reference. Normally, you’re resistant to this type of sudden change, but now your mind races ahead eagerly to integrate the exciting ideas. Make the most of your newly found intellectual freedom while you are still riding high from the adrenaline rush.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Sudden changes in your career can bring unexpected fluctuations to your financial condition in the form of an unexpected windfall or an unplanned expenditure. Remember, you are likely to react impulsively as your mind makes quantum leaps, so don’t assume that your edgy thinking is without flaws. Reconsider large purchases before you buy something you may later regret.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Your emotional sensitivity is strong now as other people insist that you do things in a specific manner. You may have a different idea, yet it’s hard to put your feelings into words. Meanwhile, others may think that you’re holding back a big secret because you appear a bit nervous, but don’t buy into their insecurities. Let your own emotions be your guide and not the fears of others.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your thoughts can tug you into strange and unfamiliar waters today, and you must travel alone on this short journey of the soul. You may be working on the solution to a particular problem, yet now you are poised to make a larger intellectual breakthrough. Nevertheless, don’t push your thoughts onto everyone else; you can share your ideas with your friends when you return.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Clever Mercury, your key planet, receives a brilliant electric shock from Uranus the Awakener today, brightening your dreams and bringing your nervous system into the present moment. Your interactions with everyone else may be precise, but don’t think that you know where each conversation will take you. Remain flexible and your willingness to change will teach you much about yourself and your world.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Be outrageously original and as unconventional as possible instead of trying to please everyone today. Your creativity is running strong now as your key planet Venus is zapped by the high voltage of Uranus. Breaking out of expected behaviors can actually strengthen your hand, so be experimental, even a bit rebellious, as you move outside your normal boundaries.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
It feels as if you’re watching short movie trailers of your future possibilities, and it may not be quite what you were expecting. Don’t worry; these fantasies don’t necessarily reveal your fate. Rather, they’re your way to rebel against the status quo. There may be ideas worth pursuing that get lost in the sheer volume of original thoughts sparking through your brain. If something makes sense, write it down quickly so it doesn’t get lost in the noise.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your initial reaction to grow and evolve may be a reflection of your need to control something that is beyond your sphere of influence. Thankfully, you can see that things are shifting for good reason. Unfortunately, you may not be ready to jump on the next opportunity that comes along. Luckily, tensions will release once you accept the new direction you are required to take.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Normally you try to build your reality on stable foundations, yet trouble develops if you become overly rigid. Today’s lessons can help you learn how much you need to loosen up, especially as you deal with other people’s feelings. Fear of change will likely work against you, so practice flexibility as you stretch and bend in the face of emotional transformation.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your key planet, eccentric Uranus, receives a power boost today from an inflow of useful information as intelligent Mercury harmonizes with it. Additionally sweet Venus brings her charm to the party and spices up any gathering. Nevertheless, you placed yourself in a data-rich environment, so make maximum use of what you know by stepping outside of the box. Be original while incorporating radical ideas into the flow of events.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You have a bit of magic at your disposal today. You can share your emotional spontaneity by communicating the feelings in your heart, but it won’t work if you take too much time searching for the right words. Instead, just reach out in a new and exciting way, for your well-intentioned overtures might be just what’s needed. There’s no need to rationalize your desire to establish a deeper connection with a friend.
Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wed., July 4th
Easy does it! The day after a Full Moon can sometimes be disconcerting due to your reaching an enlightening mind-set around the exact time of the Full Moon. Now the need – for today and tomorrow – is to distribute the illuminating energies just received across the globe. Making matters somewhat more challenging is the Sun forming a frictional, 45-degree link to Vesta (3:28AM PDT) – a sky pattern that can equate with tensions relating to safe and security issues, insurance rates and coverage, as well as investments. Meanwhile, it doesn’t help that the Moon in Capricorn enters a nearly exact 12-hour void twilight zone at 5:26AM PDT (during a Moon-Saturn square). The lunar orb stays void until 5:27PM PDT when the Moon enters service-oriented Aquarius. Nevertheless, while the Moon is void, Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree link to Venus (6:27AM PDT) while Mercury also trines its higher-guardian planet Uranus (10:54AM PDT). Revelations abound and your mind can pick up on ingenious ideas that can still be implemented in the days and weeks to come. Once the Moon enters Aquarius, consider becoming pro-active in group projects, team sports and community events. Creative and artistic vibrations dominate the evening landscape – courtesy of a supportive, 60-degree link between Venus and Uranus (7:37PM PDT) and a parallel from Mercury to Venus (8:14PM PDT). The love boat enters exotic ports of call as Venus continues to increase its daily speed following its shift from reverse to direct motion a week ago.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 3rd
Our struggle between the drive to accomplish goals in the outer world and the need to protect our security within is reflected by today’s ambitious Capricorn Full Moon at 2:51 pm EDT. The Moon’s morning conjunction with mysterious Pluto and square to unpredictable Uranus may serve up a surprise or two, requiring us to suddenly change our plans. Meanwhile, warrior Mars enters peaceful Libra, encouraging diplomacy over more forceful solutions.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Today’s Capricorn Full Moon brightens your 10th House of Profession, yet your heart may be drawn toward your family life. The dilemma arises from different strategies on how to best manage changes at work. On one hand, you are ready to fully engage and do whatever must be done. However, you also want to retreat into the safety of your personal world. Give yourself a few more days until the dust settles before making any long-lasting decisions.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The practical Capricorn Full Moon emphasizes your 9th House of Big Ideas, stressing your plans for the future. Although you may already know what you want to do, insecurities kick in, causing you to doubt yourself — even if you are aware of the obstacles in your way. This isn’t necessarily about real blockages; it’s more about what you need to do to overcome your self-doubt. There’s no reason for immediate change. But even while you stick to your current agenda, keep an open mind about what to do next.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Exercising self-control still won’t prevent your feelings from affecting your thoughts now that the Capricorn Full Moon is illuminating your 8th House of Intimacy. Your thinking is not as logical as you prefer, but your emotions are telling you something important about your relationship with someone you love. You are tempted to ignore your inner voice and follow the path of common sense, instead. It may be a stretch but trust your intuition, regardless of your fear of being irrational.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
The earthy Capricorn Full Moon pulls directly opposite the watery Cancer Sun, stirring tidal forces from the depths of your hidden subconscious. Your unspoken needs come precariously close to the shores of awareness, impacting your everyday life. Use your imagination to find balance; create a safe harbor for yourself and your loved ones where you can share your dreams and fears without worry. Instead of isolating yourself, spend time with those who will support you through times of change.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Current responsibilities may prevent you from diving into the warm and nurturing backwaters of your own fantasies. However, others don’t realize how deep and wide your imagination is, for you are not sharing everything that you feel now. The Capricorn Full Moon activates your 6th House of Habits, encouraging you to stick to your daily routine as much as possible. Just don’t get so caught up in what you’re doing that you forget to honor your unexpressed dreams, too.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Today’s goal-oriented Capricorn Full Moon occurs in your 5th House of Self-Expression, requiring you to exercise good judgment and self-restraint if you want to reach your desired destination. Holding back your feelings isn’t anything new to you since you understand the impracticality of emotions. Share what’s on your mind, but taking a conservative approach is the most effective strategy now. Others are more willing to listen if they feel that their ideas are acknowledged and appreciated just as much as yours.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The serious Capricorn Full Moon falls in your 4th House of Home and Family, possibly overwhelming you with domestic responsibilities. Yet superhero Mars enters your harmonizing sign today, reminding you that you cannot do everything all at once. Instead of fretting over deadlines, simply concentrate on the present moment. When the emotional currents settle down over the days ahead, you’ll be thankful for what you actually accomplished, as will everyone who depends on you.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Love grows complicated when you take an all-or-nothing approach to your needs. It’s a challenge for you to stay comfortable in the middle of the emotional spectrum. However, the calculating Capricorn Full Moon falls in your 3rd House of Communication, encouraging you to consider the consequences of your message before telling a loved one what’s on your mind. A healthy balance between expression and restraint can put you on the path to relationship success.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Today’s responsible Capricorn Moon lights up your 2nd House of Personal Resources and you might be concerned if you don’t see a way to balance your income with your expenditures. It’s challenging to separate your financial worries from deeper issues about self-worth. Rather than focusing your attention on what’s missing in your life, concentrate on the positive things, instead. Counting your blessings is a smart way to raise your self-esteem and also, possibly, your bottom line.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
This cautious Capricorn Full Moon can test your strength as you ride powerful emotional waves. It’s both challenging and invigorating to balance your strong feelings with the necessities of the outer world. The distinction between your dreams and reality is more apparent to you than ever before. But don’t fight the strong currents; there’s more to gain by just putting yourself in the middle and enjoying the ride. The intensity will settle back down over the days ahead.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You are eagerly anticipating indulging in some personal time as today’s Capricorn Full Moon shines in your 12th House of Escape, even if current obligations still require you to follow your regular routine. But don’t get too worked up trying to finish everything now. Just do what you can, while allowing time for short breaks throughout the day. Enjoy the distractions; you will return to your chores feeling refreshed and reinvigorated. Finding the right balance between responsibility and recreation is the trick.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Although you might feel as if you’re stretched to the max, you also recognize that you need to take time to recharge your batteries. The steady Capricorn Moon energizes your 11th House of Social Networking, giving you the opportunity to spend time with friends and relatives. Your current tendency is to be critical of yourself, which could drain your energy instead of increasing it. So, above all, cut yourself some slack, chill out and enjoy the camaraderie while you can.
New Moon Report for July 3rd – Full Moon In Capricorn
New Moon Report
By Jeff Jawer
Full Moon In Capricorn
Tuesday, July 3, 11:52 am PDT, 2:52 pm EDT
The Full Moon in reliable Capricorn is usually about self-restraint and discipline. However, this time the focus is on the relationship between power and freedom. Controlling Pluto’s conjunction to the Moon stirs resentment of authority figures, which is intensified by rebellious Uranus’ tense square to the Sun and Moon. A feeling that the world is about to change provokes fear but is meant to inspire action. Original thinking and masterful management of resources gives birth to a vision that can alter one’s career path and maybe even help to transform the world. Bold concepts are the fires that ignite action, but self-discipline is needed to sustain faith and focus in a radical plan.

Mars In Libra
Tuesday, July 3, 5:33 am PDT, 8:33 am EDT
Assertive Mars has been busy managing details since its entry into efficient Virgo last November. Its move into sociable Libra opens up new opportunities for personal and business alliances, making this a favorable time to launch a product or seek a job. Passive aggression is the shadow of this transit because anger can hidden behind insincere smiles. Mending fences and making compromises are fine as long as inner truth isn’t sacrificed to maintain appearances.
Calendar of the Moon for Tuesday, July 3rd
3 Tinne
Parvati’s Day
Color: Red
Element: Water
Altar: Upon a red cloth lay a great bowl of water, incense of lemongrass and vetiver, wreaths of dried flowers, and bowls of colored rice.
Offerings: Food. Coconut milk. Meditate on the nature of asceticism and love.
Daily Meal: Indian food.
Invocation to Parvati
Hail Parvati, dancer in the dawn,
Mother of Ganesha, wife of Shiva,
Living body of Shakti.
Parvati the sensuous one
Who knows the paths of self-denial,
Parvati the embodied one
Who knows how to leave the body behind.
When Parvati fell in love with Shiva
And yet he would not love her in return,
Being bound to his rites of meditation,
She danced before him in a dance
Beautiful enough to shake the world,
And yet he did not relent.
So she went to the top of another mountain,
Cast off all her fine raiment,
And meditated until her mind
Became one with the cosmos
And shone so brightly in the paths
Of the universe that great Shiva
Could not help but be awed by it,
And Shiva fell in love.
Lady who is the bridge between
The sensuality of the flesh
And the asceticism of the mind,
Help us to achieve that balance,
And never to fall fully to one side or the other.
Give us your blessing, Parvati,
Mother of Ganesha, dancer in the dawn.
Chant: Mother of Fortune, Parvati, Parvati,
Holy dancer, Shakti, Shakti
(Let there be drumming and dancing in a circle during the chant.)

Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.
Your Magickal Spell for Tuesday, July 3rd – Full Moon Ritual
Full Moon Ritual
Materials:
- A small globe of crystal or clear glass.
Initial Preparation:
The first time you starts this spell and every time you wish to use it for a new special purpose, you have to clear and consecrate the globe of crystal/glass by holding it up to the light of the Full Moon, so that the lunar image is caught therein.
Monthly:
After this has been performed, the globe may be used as a charm to procure the secret wish of the owner. On the night of each New Moon, hold the sphere in the left palm, by candlelight, gaze upon it, and chant:
Crescent be full and crystal fill: Thus my eye and thus my will: Fiat Voluntus Abdita! Fiat Voluntus Abdita!! Fiat Voluntus Abdita!!!
The globe should then be kept in a small bag of leather inscribed with figures of the Moon’s phases, and worn about the neck during those days and nights between the crescent and the full. While it is not being worn, the globe should be wrapped in a black cloth and hidden away.

Gibbous Moon
(waxing/135-180 degrees)
Distractions from the outside begin pressing into your world. Analysis is favored, reevaluating all the various factors you are dealing with. It’s a time to process information and effectively integrate your aims with the people in your immediate environment. This is a good time for organizing things. This Moon phase is suited for synthesis: coming up with a practical plan for getting from point A to point B. Adjustment is required
