Efficiency and making the best out of everything are simply in your nature even if you also have periods of time in which you just prefer to relax and not be serious about anything.

Taking initiative is how you spice things up in your life. Get ready to better understand your horoscope profile below.

 The zodiac sign for April 4 is Aries.

 Astrological symbol: Ram. This relates to a strong individual who always take action quickly. This is the symbol for people born between March 21 and April 19 when the Sun is in the Aries zodiac sign.

 The Aries Constellation with the brightest stars being Alpha, Beta and Gamma Arietis is spread on 441 sq degrees between Pisces to the West and Taurus to the East. Its visible latitudes are +90° to -60°, this being just one of the twelve zodiac constellations.

 The name Aries comes from the Latin name for Ram. This is the most common used name to define the zodiac sign for April 4 zodiac sign, however in Greek they call it Kriya and in French Bélier.

 Opposite sign: Libra. This is the sign directly across the zodiac circle from the Aries zodiac sign. It suggests combativeness and naivety and these two are considered to make great partnerships.

 Modality: Cardinal. This modality indicates the moody nature of those born on April 4 and their elegance and fun in most life experiences.

 Ruling house: The first house. This house rules over novelty, initiative and individual self. It is also the house of the ascendant, second in importance after the zodiac sign.

 Ruling body: Mars. This celestial body is said to influence vitality and a certain sweetness. The Mars glyph is the inverted symbol of Venus, Mars being the masculine energy opposing the feminine one. Mars also suggests the courage in the lives of these natives.

 Element: Fire. This is the element of those who confidently pursue their plans and who are quick to reveal their fiery nature. It works so to the benefit of those born under the April 4 zodiac.

 Lucky day: Tuesday. This is a day ruled by Mars, therefore symbolizes passion and vitality and identifies best with the Aries natives who are dynamic.

 Lucky numbers: 5, 8, 12, 19, 29.

 Motto: I am, I do!

People born on April 4 posses a lot of sincerity and they prefer to name the truth at any time, no matter how thought it may sound. They are autonomous beings but can also be cordial when necessary. Just like a true Aries, they are resourceful and need frequent diversification in order to advance. They like to organize and argument about a wide range of things. They evade all situations where they have to wait for something to happen. Those born under this sign feel best when they are part of big informal gatherings.

 Positive traits: We’re talking about highly resourceful people who are reliable once you win their attention and respect. They have an amazingly quick response to any kind of change. Aries people are usually both efficient and imaginative, that’s something quite hard to find, right? Those born under this sign are also the starters of the zodiac and the most enterprising people but they sometimes lose enthusiasm before the completion of a project, although they probably have thought about it thoroughly at first.

 Negative traits: One of the things Aries needs to learn is to take more calculated decisions and not abandon ideas they consider good only because they can’t be realized as soon as their impatient temper would require. Those born on this day are overly confident and prone to building up depression or sadness feelings as they do not open easily to others because they don’t want to risk crashing their strong appearance. They are sometimes very undiplomatic, intolerant and self absorbed and this will damage some of their relationships with people if they don’t behave themselves.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on April 4 are both sentimental and passionate. They have no patience for courtship so they step this stage and go directly to professing their deep passions. They can be easily swept off their feet by eccentric and mysterious persons. Magic ends only if their partner can’t keep up with their incredibly active pace. Aries is also falling for simplicity and real enthusiasm. When they are single they focus on their ideas and plans and seem to be even more productive.

 They are likely to fall in love at a young age and have many interactions with different kinds of people. Once they settle for their loved one, they are patient and dependable and seek for peace and fulfillment. Usually a reserved person, once they are in love, everyone around them knows it. They surprise everyone with their warmth and devotion to their loved one, especially because love comes unexpectedly in their life. They are most compatible with those born on 1st, 8th, 10th, 17th, 19th, 26th and 28th.

 April 4 Zodiac people are very attached to the other two fire signs: Leo and Sagittarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Aries is in a constant search for and understanding partner with whom they can connect at a deeper level. The most suitable to offer this kind of relationship to them is the affectionate and loyal Libra. Aries is said to be least compatible with those born under the Pisces zodiac sign. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Aries, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: The color used in astrology for those with April 4 is red.

Red symbolizes passion, energy, attention and is the warmest of all colors. This zodiac color should be used in objects around the house and accessories.

People who have red as sign color are dynamic, attractive and powerful. They are outstanding personalities, gifted with all it needs to take the lead to success. On the other hand red is temper and anger so when provoked they tend to get aggressive. Red is favored by active and confident persons who need to feel in control and are always standing out and getting all the attention.

Other colors for Aries people are scarlet and carmine.

Representative Birthstone: The lucky Aries birthstone for those born under the April 4 is represented by Diamond.

Diamond presents a precious stone that reflects strength and elegance. The zodiac birthstone could be used in accessories and jewelry items.

This birthstone is said to enhance strength, generosity and courage and also keep away any dark forces. The Diamond used to be named the “teardrops of the gods” in ancient Greek.

Another precious stone considered beneficial for Aries natives is Emerald. It represents harmony and regeneration.

Characteristic Flower: Honeysuckle is the flower said to be representative for Aries people born with April 4.

Honeysuckle is a known symbol of delicacy and grace. This zodiac flower should be used in decorative items in the places these natives spend time.

This flower also reveals an individual ready to go through any hassle in order to accomplish his plan. This flower can be enjoyed during spring time but continue until early fall.

Other plants for Aries natives are Geranium and Ginger.

Symbolic Metal: The metal used in astrology for those with April 4 is Iron.

This is a metal that symbolizes action and purity. The zodiac metal could be used in accessories and jewelry items.

This strong metal suggests the force of fiery Aries who is easily stimulated just like Iron can be magnetized. Left in moist air, Iron rusts which suggests that it should be handled with care exactly like the Aries native.

Another metal considered lucky for Aries natives is Silver.

Characteristics: April 4 Zodiac belongs to the second decan of ARIES (March 31-April 10). This decan is under the supervision of the Sun. Those born in this period are lively but respectable just like a true Aries and loyal but proud just as the Sun makes them be. This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of Aries zodiac sign with a great accent on the positive ones.

 Being born on the 4th day of the month shows these people are hard working, meticulous and self disciplined. The numerology for April 4 is 4. This number reveals creation combined with logic and a bit of stubbornness. Those Aries associated with number four are surely imaginative but also hard working and critical.

 April is the forth month of the year, bringing great opportunities for starting courageous endeavors. Those born in April are attractive and dynamic. April 4 Zodiac people are fearless and determined. April symbols that resonate with these people are diamond as gemstone, Honeysuckle and Poppy as plants and Aphrodite the Greek goddess of beauty.

What Statistics Say: In the Gregorian Calendar, April 4 is the 94th day of the year or the 95th day in leap years, while until the end of the year there are 271 days left. The thirty fifth day of spring, this is also the International Day for Landmine Awareness and Assistance.

 Aries comes ninth on the list of most common to least common zodiac signs amongst births. Positive meaning and forceful energy, this is an odd numbered sign with a predominantly masculine symbolism. This is suggestive for extrovert natives who are kind and rather agitated than calm. The archetype used to describe this sign is the Combatant. Many billionaires are born with Aries as a sign.

 Famous people born on April 4 under the Aries zodiac sign: Robert Downey Jr, Maya Angelou, Heath Ledger and Davin Blaine.

If you were born on April 4, you are full of brilliant ideas that can often get you in trouble! You have a bit of a wild side, and when you mix that with your knack for creativity, you may end up in some seriously twisted places. This will lead to an exciting and fulfilling life! You will always have wonderful stories to tell — but don’t forget that a little bit of caution will keep you safe in the long run. Be bold and daring, while also remembering to consider your consequences before you leap.

April 04 Aries at Their Best: Innovative, lively, ambitious

April 04 Aries at Their Worst: Impulsive, unstable, rebellious

What to Wear: Leggings and tennis shoes. Aries could challenge all the party guests to a foot race on the spur of the moment, and you’ll want to be set.

What to Eat: Anything ready-made! Aries has no time to wait for anything that has to be cooked first. Sashimi could make an elegant choice.

Who to Invite: Everybody who even remotely knows this dynamic individual — life is, after all, all about Aries!

Where to Go: Outdoors (where there’s plenty of room to roam) or a sports complex that handles everything from basketball and tennis to golf and rock climbing. Everybody who even remotely knows this dynamic individual — life is, after all, all about Aries!

Charm Bag for Love

LOVE SPELL WARNING: Love spells such as this one take the person who you want to love you free will/spirit away. What happens with a spell like this is the person will become obsessed with you to the point of possibly losing their job, which in turn can make them lose their home, automobile, friends, their family, etc. I have heard of people under love spells dying from not eating or drinking when they are not in the presence of the spellcaster 24/7/365. So, unless you want some who only loves you because of a spell you put on them then go for it. But if you want someone to love you because they feel that emotion towards you then please do not do this spell. The same warning goes for animals, birds, reptiles, or anything else that has a heart and can create a bond with someone.

Ingredients:

  • Love charm
  • Red Pouch
  • Cinnamon stick
  • Paper
  • Pen

Make the love charm in my article on Fire Magic.

Draw the following love rune on the piece of paper:

The paper can be small. It will need to fit into the pouch.

Now visualize what love means to you. It can be romantic or sisterly. The type of energy you focus now will affect what will return to you.

Be very clear and certain with the intention. Wrap the love charm in the paper and set it in the pouch.

Say the words:

Charm bag for love:
I place this gem.
Goddess energy above
Grant your power to them.

Continue to place each ingredient into the bag and feel the energy flow out of you and into the charm bag. Take as much time as you need.

It is now complete.

THE WICCAN CALENDAR: OSTARA (SPRING EQUINOX)

When is Ostara: March 19-23
Ostara pronunciation: OH-star-ah
Themes: balance, renewal, action, beginnings, hope, new possibilities
Also known as: Alban Eiler, Rites of Spring, Eostra’s Day, Vernal Equinox, March Equinox, Spring Equinox, Lady Day, Bacchanalia

Ostara is the second of three spring festivals on the Wheel of the Year. Coming in between Imbolc and Beltane, this is a time for celebrating the balance between extremes that is found amid the seasons. Although it may still be chilly in many regions, this is the official beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere—it is the Vernal (Spring) Equinox, the moment of exact balance between the light and the dark.

Though it’s typically celebrated on March 20, the exact moment of the Equinox varies from year to year. This is due to a slight misalignment between the Gregorian calendar and the actual rate of the Earth’s rotation around the Sun. The Equinox also occurs at differing local times, so depending on where you live, it may fall the day before or the day after the date listed on any given calendar. For this reason, a date range of March 19-21 is often cited in sources on the Wheel of the Year.

In the Wiccan mythology, the growing daylight is evidence of the God moving from infancy toward maturity. Likewise, the Earth becomes warmer and more fertile as the Goddess is coming into the full power of her Maiden aspect. The promise of greener, warmer, more bountiful times is becoming apparent as buds and blossoms emerge from the trees and shrubs, bees return to begin the pollination cycle, and fields of grass wake up from their winter slumber. This is a time of innocence and child-like wonder as the end of Winter finally becomes a reality and being outdoors is pleasant again. We have not yet arrived at the passion and heat of Summer, but are instead enjoying the more balanced energies of this Equinox.

To honor the energies of this time of year, you can decorate your altar Click here to read the rest of this article about Ostara/Spring Equinox

Correspondences & Symbols of Ostara

Symbols used to represent Ostara include the egg-for fertility and reproduction, and the hare-for rebirth and resurrection, the New Moon, butterflies and cocoons. Symbolically, many Pagans choose to represent Ostara by the planting of seeds, potted plants, ringing bells, lighting new fires at sunrise, either in the fireplace, in the cauldron, or light a balefire outdoors. I always give myself a gift of a newly potted plant or take a seed and plant it within my cast Circle. Ritually, a fire may be lit in the cauldron during (not before) the rite itself. You may want to decorate your altar with a colorful bouquet of Spring wildflowers. Other traditional activities include working on magickal gardens and practicing all forms of  herbal work—magickal, artistic, medicinal, culinary, and cosmetic. author unknown

Happy and Blessed Ostara/ Spring Equinox

Who are the Harvest Gods and Goddesses? Archetypal meanings of Harvest deities.

Source: .triplemoonpsychotherapy.com

The practice of expressing gratitude for the harvest season and preparing for the onset of winter is a widespread and ancient tradition observed by cultures across the globe.

Festivals are held to celebrate the abundance of crops, offer thanks to Mother Earth, and bid farewell to Summer. Historically, mythologies worldwide have honored and revered various deities associated with the harvest and the Autumn Equinox. Although not a comprehensive account, this article briefly acknowledges some of the most prominent harvest and equinox deities from various cultures, listed alphabetically.

Autumnus, the Roman goddess of the Harvest

Autumnus, the fall season’s deity, embodies nature’s overflowing abundance during harvest. In addition, Autumnus is gender fluid, appearing in both male and female forms, which speaks to the inclusive and diverse nature of this season’s divine patron.

Banbha, the Celtic goddess and Earth Mother

Amidst the fall equinox celebrations, the Irish deity Banbha reigns supreme. As an Earth Mother, she presides over the culmination of the bountiful harvest. Banbha, much like the revered Greek goddess Gaia, is the protector and nurturer of all living beings and the land that sustains them.

Ceres, the Roman goddess of the Harvest, grain, and fertility

Ceres, the goddess of the harvest, was revered for her abundant generosity and for imparting essential knowledge to humanity.

In Greek mythology, she was known as Demeter. She was hailed as the deity who taught people the art of cultivating, preserving, and preparing grains and maize. Her divine powers were closely linked to the land’s fertility, and she was regarded as one of the most prominent guardians of the harvest.

Ceres’ influence and guidance ensured the earth’s bounty was always plentiful. Her legacy lives on as a symbol of abundance and fertility.

Çhicomecoatl, the Aztec goddess of abundance and corn

Çhicomecoatl, the goddess of fire and fertility, embodies vitality, community, and plenty. She is revered in Mexico, particularly during the harvest season, as the guardian of corn and all fertile things. Her emblems are hot spices, maize, and fire, representing her power and providence over the land.

Corn Mother, the goddess of the Harvest of the Indigenous Peoples of North America

With her bountiful presence, the Corn Mother embodies the qualities of abundance, vitality, and strength. Her powers of fertility and harvest are celebrated as she blesses the land with the promise of plentiful crops.

In addition to her agricultural emblems of corn and corn sheaves, she also holds the healing attributes of the earth, nurturing all who seek her aid.

Demeter, the Greek goddess of the Harvest and Agriculture

At the center of one of the most famous myths about the seasons and the Harvest lies Demeter, the goddess of grain and fertility and mother of Persephone.

When Hades, the god of the Underworld, abducted Persephone, Demeter’s anguish for her daughter resulted in a severe drought that threatened all life on Earth. With the crops perishing and humankind facing doom, Demeter embarked on a quest to rescue her daughter.

However, despite eventually reuniting with Persephone, now the goddess of the Underworld, fate demanded a sacrifice. Having consumed six pomegranate seeds, Persephone was bound to spend six months of the year in the Underworld, which begins with the Autumn Equinox when Persephone descends again into the depths.

Northern Hemisphere

March 19, 2024

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. This September Full Moon will be the forth and final supermoon of 2023.

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.

The third Lunar month is ruled by the Ash Tree. A large, relentless species that roots penetrate deep into the Earth. It’s strongly associated with the vertical link between otherworldly realms such as the underworld, middle earth, and the spiritual world. This gives it the status of the ‘World Tree’.

This tree that is linked to otherworldly realms is also medicinal, especially when it comes to treating childhood ailments. In Celtic Lore the tree is given the name of “Cradle of Life” and from it, remedies could be created that would cure children of their illnesses.

Part of the ash is used in protective rituals due to the energies believed to be held within the tree. Its leaves are thought to bring love and affluence.

Ash Tree Zodiac

Ash signs are empathetic, compassionate and very creative. They are in tune with nature and others around them and often look upon the world with an artistic perspective. They do well in careers of creativity. They constantly strive for self-growth and renewal they think freely without much care for what others may think of them. They are viewed as introverts but are often just immersed in their own world and people are intrigued with their enchanting personality.

Ash signs pair well with Willow and Reed signs.

In the Norse eddas, Yggdrasil, the world tree, was an Ash. The spear of Odin was made from the branch of this tree, which is also known by the Celtic name Nion, pronounced knee-un. This is one of three trees sacred to the Druids (Ash, Oak and Thorn), and this is a good month to do magic that focuses on the inner self. Associated with ocean rituals, magical potency, prophetic dreams and spiritual journeys, the Ash can be used for making magical (and mundane) tools — these are said to be more productive than tools made from other wood. If you place Ash berries in a cradle, it protects the child from being taken away as a changeling by mischievous Fae.
