Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might feel restless today because you’re unsure of something that’s going on behind the scenes. Perhaps you have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop? Relax. Enjoy schmoozing with others because people are happy to see you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you have to stay on your toes because for starters, a friend might surprise you. Or you might meet someone who is unusual or different, but definitely interesting. Possibly, news from a group will catch you off guard. They might say or do something that you can’t endorse or don’t agree with. Stay tuned!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because someone in a position of authority – boss, parent, teacher or the police – might say or do something that catches you off guard. Do you need to do any damage control? Tread carefully.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Travel plans might suddenly change today or be delayed or cancelled. Possibly, you have to travel when you did not expect to do so? News in the media might surprise you. Double check college and university schedules because something unpredictable will occur.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Make friends with your bank account today to make sure you know what’s happening because something unexpected could impact a bank account or something to do with shared property or how you are involved with the wealth and resources of someone else, including an inheritance.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Go gently today because a partner or close friend will almost certainly do or say something that surprises you. You might need to give yourself some time before you process how you feel about this. Definitely take time before you respond. Avoid a knee-jerk reaction.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your work routine might be interrupted today. Therefore, be smart and give yourself extra time so that you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected. This way you are better prepared for whatever happens, even if it comes out of left field. Surprising news about your health might also occur. Meanwhile, pet owners should be vigilant.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Parents should be aware of their kids today because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social plans might change today. Stay light on your feet because you might want to accept a last-minute invitation? Or possibly, social plans are cancelled.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your home routine will likely change today. Perhaps a small appliance might break down or a minor breakage could occur? Someone completely unexpected might knock at your door, catching you unawares. Get dressed. Stock the fridge so that you’re ready for anything.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. However, on the upside, you might have a sudden, brilliant idea that occurs you out of the blue. Zowie! This is because today you find it easy to think outside of the box.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions so that you can protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Meanwhile, you might find money or you might lose money. It’s a tricky day, which means something might impact your assets, which is why you must be on the alert.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Do not be hasty and jump to conclusions today, which might happen because you feel independent and rebellious! You have a strong need to be free and do exactly what you want. Nevertheless, think before you act. Don’t do anything you will later regret.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Parents and authority figures will be pretty intense today. Therefore, this is not the day to decide to challenge them. (Ya think?) If you do, you will encounter more than you bargained for. Step aside. “A lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a poor day for arguments and disputes about politics, religion and racial issues; nevertheless, you will probably be drawn into them! Try to avoid this if you can because people will be intense and convinced that they’re right and that you will be better off if you agree with them. Oy!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Don’t get embroiled in discussions about shared property, inheritances or insurance disputes because you might have to contend with someone who is trying to exert unreasonable power over you. People are intense today and they want to convince others to agree with them.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Keep things light today. (If you can.) Avoid intense discussions with partners and close friends because people can be quite pushy today. In fact, avoid dangerous areas and any possibility of a criminal element. There are some “heavy” vibes out there today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be determined to introduce reforms and improvements to your job today. However, don’t be pushy with others. (There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.) Likewise, you might be super determined to improve your health today. Lighten up a bit.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a terrible day for romantic arguments because they will get out of hand, possibly dangerously so. This is because people are intense and passionate today. They’re convinced they are right and others should agree with them. Come hell or high water!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Avoid intense family discussions and arguments today because they won’t be pretty. Someone will try to push their views on others, and they might be overwhelming and aggressive. On the upside, you personally, might see ways to make improvements at home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Discussions with others will be intense, even overwhelming today. You might have to contend with someone who is trying to exert power over you, which will force you to defend your own right to do things the way you want to do them. Oh yes, this is a day where people can be really pushy!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Avoid disputes about money and possessions today because they could be nasty. On the other hand, you might see useful ways to use money or something you own to make improvements somewhere or to help a third party. Hopefully, you can do this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be careful who you hang out with today. Avoid people who are aggressive, angry or potentially criminal. This is the kind of day that brings the worst out in people. In fact, everyone will be intense and a bit aggressive today so be discriminating. Be smart.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid dangerous areas today or places where there are few people because this is the kind of day where the criminal element might be felt, even in a threatening way. Take the high road in every sense of the word. (Plus, the view is better.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Very likely, you will encounter a friend who seems to be coming on a bit strong today. Or perhaps, you will talk to someone in a group situation or a meeting. If so, this is a poor day to contradict or cross swords with someone because you might be surprised at their reaction. People are intense and purposeful today!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress and voice actor Jane Horrocks (1964) shares your birthday today. You have dignity in a practical, conservative way. However, in the next moment, you are wildly impulsive! You are generous, kindhearted and helpful. This year is the time for you to receive promotions, awards and acknowledgement for what you do You might assume a role of leadership.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Many of you will earn more money and get richer this year. And yet, at the same time, you will go through cupboards, closets, garages and storage areas so that you can downsize and get rid of what is no longer useful or relevant in your life.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This year will be very fortunate for you because in May, lucky Jupiter will enter your sign for the first time in 12 years, giving you a marvellous boost until June 2024. Count your lucky stars! It’s time to learn not to sell out to others but to integrate your world with others.

A Thought for Today

Even on a cloudy day the Sun can be shining in your heart!

𝕎𝔸ℕ𝕋𝔼𝔻

The Witches of the Craft staff are in search of a “spinning” Wheel of the Year. One designed in this manner, is  usually comprised of several layers of wooden circles with different aspects of the Pagan way of life (i.e., Sabats, current moon phase, current corresponding flora), and turns freely to change the settings.

Moon Alert

Caution: Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 10:45 AM EST for the rest of the day (7:45 AM PST). The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a lovely day to schmooze! Because you want to travel, perhaps you’re talking to travel companions or people in another country? Either way, enjoy social activities, sports events and playful times with kids.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a feel-good day! You can cocoon at home with your favourite food and pamper yourself. Or perhaps, you want a little company? If so, this is a fine day and evening to entertain at home. Discuss travel or educational plans with a friend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’re pumped today because Mars is still in your sign (as it will be for the rest of year). This is an excellent day to converse and interact with partners, close friends and members of the general public. You have something to say and fortunately, others are willing to listen.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a tricky day. You will be tempted to pursue financial negotiations or spend money or shop. However, this is a poor day to do so! (See Moon Alert above.) Get your facts, or do window-shopping, but wait until tomorrow to act. (You’ll be glad you did.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with the Sun, which gives you a strong urge to socialize. Accept invitations to party. Enjoy lunch or Happy Hour with a friend. In particular, you will delight in playful activities with kids, sports events and anything to do with the entertainment world. Great date day!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Home, family and your personal life are your primary focus today. However, you’re also a playful, social mood! This means that this is the ideal day to entertain at home, and socialize with family members. Fun times with kids will delight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a fast-paced, happy day! Because you’re in a positive frame of mind, you will enjoy talking to everyone in a lighthearted way. Avoid important decisions today. Agree to nothing important. Don’t volunteer for anything. Wait until tomorrow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful today. The reason you have to be cautious is your mind will be drawn to financial matters, shopping, wheeling and dealing and money negotiations. However, this is a poor day to do any of those things! Don’t shop except for food and gas. Don’t agree to anything important. Forewarned is forearmed.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Sun is in your sign dancing with the Moon, which is sitting in your “home” in your chart. This makes you feel easy-going and relaxed. Enjoy socializing with others. You might want to kick around some ideas for future travel plans. You also have moneymaking ideas. Nevertheless, wait until tomorrow to act. See Moon Alert. Be smart.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Part of you wants to be low-key and hide behind the scenes today. However, with Mercury and Venus in your sign, you’re eager to schmooze and talk to others. Actually, this is a lovely day to relax and enjoy yourself. Postpone shopping and important decisions until tomorrow. Restrict spending to food and gas.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a lovely day to socialize with others, especially close friends and partners. You might also choose to be involved in a group. Nevertheless, because there is a Moon Alert all day – don’t volunteer for anything. Don’t shop. (Except for food and gas.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

People notice you today in a favourable way. Therefore, be careful. Do not volunteer for anything or agree to new responsibilities. Wait until tomorrow to respond. Do yourself this favour. Protect yourself.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor, comedian Dick Van Dyke (1925) shares your birthday today. You have a sharp, clever mind. You are perceptive and quick. You are also charismatic, charming and appealing to many. You are optimistic and confident. Simplicity is the key to life this year. Take charge of your health. Exercise is important. Stay grounded and levelheaded.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Full Moon in Gemini peaks at 11:08 PM EST tonight (8:08 PM PST).

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully! This is an accident-prone day; so, pay attention to everything you say and do. Stay calm. Use your common sense. Avoid arguments with others, which will arise because of the Full Moon energy today. Zip thy lip!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Avoid disputes about shared property, possessions, money and earnings. Admittedly, it’s tough to avoid these disputes because today’s Full Moon will aggravate these values for your sign. Plus, you’re never casual about money.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today the Full Moon is in your sign. (Happens once a year.) And this particular Full Moon is lined up with retrograde Mars. Holy cannelloni! This makes it easy to let old grudges fester and feel resentful about something from the past. Lighten up. Move forward.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a challenging day at work because of the Full Moon; and possibly with your pet and your health as well. Stop replaying past hurts because this is a waste of your precious time and energy. All you have is now. The past is a memory; the future is a hope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Try to avoid squabbles with friends or members of groups today. Or possibly, these arguments will take place with your kids, or a romantic partner? This is because the Full Moon today can remind you of old injuries and insults. Let it go.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today’s Full Moon creates the classic tug-of-war between home and family versus your career and public reputation. You might feel hurt by something in the past that damaged your reputation. Don’t get caught up in this again. It’s a waste of energy. “These are not the droids you’re looking for.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be careful because this is an accident-prone day for you due to the Full Moon energy. You might find yourself caught up in religious or political arguments from the past that still sting or make you feel resentful. Why carry this baggage? Let it go and lighten your load.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don’t get embroiled in disputes about shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and financial matters, especially if you resent how something was handled in the past. You might still feel this injury. But will your pain change anything? It only bothers you. Time to move on.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. To aggravate things further, it is lined up with retrograde Mars. This means you might be caught up by old resentments from the past, feelings which stop you from enjoying this relationship. Is it worth it?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be careful at work today. Likewise, be careful dealing with your pet and even your health because today’s Full Moon might aggravate or trigger something. It could create tension. It also might cause you to rehash past hurts and resentment. Lighten up for your own good. Let it go.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Romantic disappointments and pain from the past might come to the surface with today’s Full Moon. For some, these old resentments might involve dealing with one of your kids. It’s so hard to forgive and let go, I know. But why walk around with a pebble in your shoe?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Relations with authority figures and parents are stressed today because of the Full Moon. Possibly, this triggers bad feelings and anger from the past. Because lucky Jupiter is in your sign now, you have largess. You have the wisdom for forgiveness. Be wise.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Philosopher, linguist Noam Chomsky (1928) shares your birthday today. You have a fine intellect, which gives you a deep understanding and knowledge of the world around you. You are compassionate, caring and many of you have strong spiritual values. This year you have more solitude because it is a year of learning, study and teaching for you. You might also renew your spiritual beliefs.

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.
