A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.

May 19, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Move forward with confidence when dealing with financial matters today. These could relate to current earnings, or potential future earnings; but ideally, it will be matters that you have already set in motion. Trust your “big” ideas! You’re on a roll!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Sun in your sign is dancing with big daddy Pluto, which gives you a powerful energy to look around you and decide what needs to be changed or improved. Do you need to introduce reforms into your daily world? You can make these changes rather easily now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today your ruler Mercury is retrograde, and dancing with lucky Jupiter, which means you have lots of optimistic, hopeful energy to finish projects that you have already started. Your hopes and wishes are more important to you today. Write down your plans for the future. Get a bead on where you’re headed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will find that you will express yourself more forcefully talking to friends and members of groups today. Because you can do this so easily, you will make a strong impression on someone! (If you see the hair blowing back over their ears, take it easy.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A discussion with a parent or boss will be intense and powerful today. Be careful you don’t cross a line and threaten them in any way because you will be forceful. You want to get things done and you want to move quickly! Nevertheless, remember that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might want to avoid subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because these will be buttons that could trigger arguments with others. This is because you are coming on like gangbusters, even if you don’t realize it. Note: Someone else might come on just as strong! This is a recipe for a fight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You can see how to improve a financial arrangement with someone today. It might be about reducing debt or dealing with taxes and insurance issues. It might be a better arrangement on how to deal with shared property? One thing is certain: You’ll have no trouble making your case.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you might attract someone to you who is very powerful. (“Hi Darth.”) Nevertheless, you will also be powerful — so express yourself with care and good judgment. This is an excellent day to join forces with someone to investigate something.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you’re gung-ho to introduce reforms so that you can improve your health. Meanwhile, some of you will use this same energy to introduce reforms to your job or how you do your work. The bottom line is you intend to make things better!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Whether you are in sports or the arts or music, be aware that today is an excellent day to practice something. That’s because you will get way more results for your efforts than you usually would. Practice dance, arpeggios, catching a ball, batting, martial arts – whatever.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will see ways to introduce improvements to where you live today, especially in areas related to plumbing, bathrooms, garbage and recycling. Meanwhile, in a family discussion, a secret might come out. Or you might suspect that a secret exists.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are super convincing today when talking to others, which makes this a strong day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, acting as well as writing. Personally, you might want to determine what motivates you? What changes do you need to make?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Polly Walker (1966) shares your birthday today. You have a calm, detached even regal style. This can make you convincing when talking to others. Personally, you are focused and determined. This year you have a stronger zest for life, which is why you will enjoy socializing and reaching out to others. Let your hair down and have fun!

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence Digest for Thursday

From GypsyWolf.weebly.com

Thursday is the fifth day of the week.   In the Norse languages this day is called Torsdag, honoring Thor, the god of strength, fertility, thunder, the protector and defender in war, and son of Odin.  Thor is the counterpart of Zeus (Greek), and Jupiter or Jove (Roman).  Thor, the most beloved of the great gods of northern mythology, is the only god who cannot cross from earth to heaven across the rainbow bridge, for he is so heavy and powerful that the gods fear it will break under his weight.  It was said that whenever his hammer Mjollnir, was thrown, it would produce a thunderbolt and when struck against stone, it would create lightning.

Thursday

Latin: Dies Jovis (“Jove’s Day”), after Jove or Jupiter, the almighty Roman God.
French: jeudi
Italian: giovedi
Spanish: el jueves
German: Donnerstag
Dutch: donderdag

Rules: Expansion, wealth, prosperity, political power, legal matters, spirituality, meditation.
Colors: Purple, Deep Blue
Planet: Jupiter
Metal: Tin, associated with the thunderbolt of Jupiter (Zeus in Greek myth)
Stones: Amethyst, Lepidolite, Sugilite
Herbs: Anise, Cinquefoil, Clove, Honeysuckle, Hyssop, Maple, Nutmeg, Oakmoss, Sage, Sarsaparilla, Sassafras, Star Anise
Zodiac: Sagittarius

Spell for Today – Juno’s Prosperity Elemental Ritual

 

Juno’s Prosperity Elemental Ritual

 

calls for some natural magick supplies. Try working with affordable tumbled malachite stones. As for the wheat stalks, look at the dried flowers and fillers in the arts and crafts shops. Ditto for the feather, or peruse a fly-tying store; you can usually pick up a package of feathers for a few bucks. As to the green seven-day candle, if you look around, you can find green jar candles. I actually found some at the grocery store for a dollar apiece. They were in the ethnic food aisle and were called novena candles. I simply peeled the saint sticker off of it, and abracadabra! An instant seven-day candle for my witchery.

As mentioned before, all of these magickal supplies listed below correspond with the goddess Juno in two of her prosperity-drawing aspects, Juno Augusta (the harvest mother) and Juno Moneta (patron of the Roman mint).

1 malachite stone (to represent the earth element)

A few peacock feathers (to represent the element of air)

3 small stalks dried wheat

1 green seven-day jar candle for prosperity

3 drops honeysuckle, peppermint, or clove oil (all of these oils encourage prosperity)

A clean dropper (to add the oil to the candle)

A long, thin screwdriver (to put holes in the candle)

A dollar bill or coin

Matches or a lighter

A safe, flat surface on which to set up the spell

Carefully and slowly push the screwdriver straight down into the wax. Now pull it straight back up. Add two more holes for the essential oil. Now set the screwdriver aside; using the dropper, squirt a few drops of honeysuckle oil down into those channel that you just created.

Next, hold the green jar candle in your hands and transfer a little of your personal power and desire for prosperity into the candle. Then place the candle on your work area on top of the currency. Arrange the stone, wheat stalks, and feathers to your liking. Make your work area pretty, and enjoy the process. While you are doing so, you may chant the following (the chanting will help you raise some energy too):

By the power of three times three
Bring prosperity now to me!

When you feel that you are ready, light the candle and repeat the following verse three times:

Juno Moneta, Roman goddess of prosperity
Lend your power to this elemental spell that I weave
Juno Augusta, mother of the harvest, hear my plea
These three golden stalks of wheat are a gift to you from me
A peacock feather for air, and a malachite for earth
Lady, bless me with success, abundance, and rebirth
For the good of all, with harm to none
In Juno’s name, this spell has begun!

Allow the candle to burn until it goes out on its own. It will probably take five to seven days for the jar candle to burn out. When I burn seven-day candles, I tuck them inside of my large cast-iron cauldron, then I place the spell components around the outside of the jar. That way, the candle can continue to safely burn, and even if it gets knocked over, everything stays contained inside of the fireproof cauldron.

Once the jar candle is finished, pocket the malachite stone and the bill or coin. Keep the money with you, tucked in your wallet or in your pocket. Tie up the feathers somewhere where prominent where you will see them every day, like the rearview mirror of your car, your dresser mirror, or a chest of drawers’ handle. Every time you see the feather, tell Juno thank you. Take the dried wheat and crumble the pieces apart. Sprinkle the seeds outside as an offering for Juno. Abundance and prosperity will find their way to you soon.

Please note: If you cannot leave the ritual candle safely burning then snuff it out when you leave and relight it as soon as you are home. It may take a few days longer, but the magick will still turn out, especially since you are taking the time and energy to tend the ritual candle so carefully. As you relight the candle, say:
As this ritual candle relights, so does my magick one more ignite.

Enjoy your ritual work, and may prosperity come to you in the best possible way!

A Digital Lunar Eclipse

Image Credit & Copyright: Michael Cain

Explanation: Recorded on May 15/16 this sequence of exposures follows the Full Moon during a total lunar eclipse as it arcs above treetops in the clearing skies of central Florida. A frame taken every 5 minutes by a digital camera shows the progression of the eclipse over three hours. The bright lunar disk grows dark and red as it glides through planet Earth’s shadow. In fact, counting the central frames in the sequence measures the roughly 90 minute duration of the total phase of this eclipse. Around 270 BC, the Greek astronomer Aristarchus also measured the duration of total lunar eclipses, but probably without the benefit of digital watches and cameras. Still, using geometry he devised a simple and impressively accurate way to calculate the Moon’s distance in terms of the radius of planet Earth, from the eclipse duration.

Today’s Word is

Merry Andrew

Brought to you by wordoftheday.net

Merry Andrew / noun / mer·ry an·drew

“Merry Andrew” is an archaic definition we use to describe people who behave in a clownish or buffoonish fashion. This early 16th-century noun represents the silly antics or behavior of a person who others consider as being foolish and “jester-like.” Being called a “Merry Andrew” is not a compliment. Someone being called a “Merry Andrew” is being insulted and described as a fool. Merry Andrew is also the name of the 1958 American musical film directed by Michael Kidd and starring famed actor Danny Kaye.

In a Sentence

Look out, here comes that unfunny Merry Andrew from last night’s performance.

A court jester and a Merry Andrew are one and the same.

The king and queen demanded to be entertained by the local Merry Andrew.

Etymology

We saw the first use of Merry Andrew around the late 16th-century in 1670. Etymologists say the term was used to represent people who were kept around because of their entertaining qualities that regularly included them making foolish jokes and public spectacles of themselves.

Synonyms

Comedian, Jester

Antonyms

Wise, Humorless

A Jewel on the Flower Moon

Image Credit & Copyright: Tomas Slovinsky

Explanation: Cloudy skies plagued some sky watchers on Sunday as May’s Full Flower Moon slipped through Earth’s shadow in a total lunar eclipse. In skies above Chile’s Atacama desert this telephoto snapshot still captured an awesome spectacle though. Seen through thin high cirrus clouds just before totality began, a last sliver of sunlit crescent glistens like a hazy jewel atop the mostly shadowed lunar disk. This full moon was near perigee, the closest point in its elliptical orbit. It passed near the center of Earth’s dark umbral shadow during the 90 minute long total eclipse phase. Faintly suffused with sunlight scattered by the atmosphere, the umbral shadow itself gave the eclipsed moon a reddened appearance and the very dramatic popular moniker of a Blood Moon.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions until 8:15 AM EDT today (until 5:15 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are confident in your views today, especially when talking to parents, bosses and people in authority. You’re interested in big ideas – not little details. You might be surprised if someone challenges what you have to say. (Relax, everyone’s opinionated today.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you are fascinated with profound discussions about philosophy, religion and other intellectual ideas or life belief systems. You will discuss some ideas that you have, and you’ll be interested in hearing what other people have to say.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Because you feel generous and benevolent towards others today, you might do fundraising or think of ways to get help from a third party, or perhaps a friend or partner so that you can help someone in need. Perhaps you will encourage someone to be generous? Or set the example?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Enjoy intellectual banter with partners and close friends today. You have some definite ideas about something, and you’re interested to hear what others have to say. You will especially watch their reactions when you share your ideas. (You love an adoring peanut gallery.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Relations with coworkers will be warm and friendly today. In part, this is because you feel generous to those around you, which means people will likely respond to you in kind. You want to help others and encourage them in whatever they do. (Leos are inspirational leaders.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a lovely day to schmooze and enjoy the company of friends! Take a long lunch. In fact, play hooky if you can. You’ll enjoy the arts and any kind of entertaining diversion, including the theatre. Sports events will also appeal because fun activities are at the top of your list today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Enjoy relaxing at home in a luxurious way today. Grab good food and drink so that you can indulge yourself with some guilty pleasures. (Ben and Jerry’s?) Take an afternoon nap. Enjoy entertaining someone. Shop for something pretty for where you live. Make today feel special.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Discussions with others will be upbeat and interesting because you’re in a positive frame of mind today. You want to share your ideas and in particular, you want to discuss profound matters – something heady and meaningful. Enjoy learning something that expands your world.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Pay attention to your moneymaking ideas today because they might be worth consideration. Having said that, if you’re shopping, you’ll be tempted to be extravagant and perhaps go overboard. With this in mind, keep your receipts – and the box. (Happiness is having alternatives.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with lucky Jupiter, which makes you feel warm hearted to everyone. You will also be interested in “big” ideas and philosophies because you want to expand your mind and learn new things. You have Eagle mind today, not mouse mind.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will be happy to cocoon somewhere comfortable and read a book or explore new ideas or do something to expand your world but in a private, quiet way. One thing is certain, you have a strong appreciation for your daily surroundings. You’re happy to be in your skin.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Discussions with friends and groups will be happy and warm-hearted today. Someone might encourage you in a discussion about your future goals. If so, they will urge you to think big and expect more for yourself. Richard Bach said, “Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they’re yours.”

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Chow Yun-Fat (1955) shares your birthday today. You are warm hearted person who is helpful to others and often takes care of people. You are hard-working and focused. Many of you are multitalented. This year will be a gentler, slower paced year. Your focus will be on relationships and your own needs, especially determining what makes you happy.
