August 17, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 17th, 2025 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 23.4 days old and 39.68% illuminated with a tilt of -55.035°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 370,836.03 km and the moon sign is Gemini.

The Moon phase for August 17th, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

Banishing and Binding Spells c2012

Banishing & Binding Spells From: “SpiritWolf”

Banishing and binding spells are a hot topic for ethical debates within the
Wiccan community. Some believe these spells should not be done at all. There
are however some situations that may warrant a banishing or binding spell:

1) You or a family member is being harassed or threatened by a person, group
of people or even an entity of some kind.

2) A spell backfires and you need to undo something that was done
unintentionally.

3) You own a piece of jewelry or other object that seems to be radiating
negative energy to anyone who wears or comes in contact with it. The most
famous case of this is of course the Hope Diamond.

4) To perhaps release someone who seems obsessed with someone or something.

The simplest banishment is to draw a pentacle in the opposite manner than
normal. Meaning you would start at the bottom left side of the star and
begin drawing upward away from you. This can be used to use to protect
yourself from strange people. Put up a defensive shield, then make the sign
of the banishing pentacle in front of me in the air, and push/throw it at
the person with your hand. Envisioned the pentacle having a burst of white
light behind it. So when we talk about banishment, it doesn’t always have to
be an involved process. It can be that easy. Another banishment that is
simple and effective if someone is making your daily life miserable, is what
can be called iron binding. Place something of the person, a gift they may
have given you, or something that you associate with them, inside a small
iron cauldron, on your altar. As you do this, simply say something like
“Name of person (or sigil of name), I am putting up an iron wall between me
and thee. No more will you upset me. No more be done, So Mote It be” The
only problem with this type of spell is that you have to leave the item in
the cauldron, for once it is removed the spell is broken. So if you need to
use it for someone you never want to have any contact with again, you would
have to bury the cauldron with the item in it, or perhaps burn the item in
the cauldron to finalize the spell. But if you just want a break from
someone at work, who is making you miserable, then it works well.

A Word About Binding Spells c2015

A Word About Binding Spells

Bindings should only be done when all other avenues have been exhausted. Try to work things out with the other person, as honest communication can often solve many problems. If the person in question is someone you’d rather not deal with, try as hard as you can to stay away from him or her. Bindings are one of those “last resort” spells — something to be done only when absolutely necessary to prevent harm from coming to you or your family. Always remember the Rede and the Law of Three when doing spells of any kind. And NEVER wish anyone harm — do all spells for “the highest good of all.” If you cannot do a binding from a place of peace, don’t do it at all.

Binding Spells: A Commonsense Guideline

If you don’t like the idea of using poppets and have decided to work a binding, and you have a handle on your emotions, then here are some commonsense guidelines that I suggest you follow:

* Bindings are best performed on a Saturday.

* Work the binding at sunset and you pull into the spell the closing energies of not only the day, but of the entire week.

* Work with black candles; they coordinate with Saturn’s energies and they are the classic magickal color for this type of witchery.

Finally, to be crystal clear, a binding is the act of psychically restraining a harmful person or criminal so that their actions cannot harm anyone else. The goddess to call on is Hecate, and she is a mighty magickal force. Consider your words and actions carefully when you call on her. How you choose to work a binding is up to you. At this point, I suggest that you take a moment and draft out your binding spell on paper. Go carefully, and remember to harm none.

You may experience some dramatic special effects when working with Hecate. Don’t be taken aback if the wind picks up….if you candles flicker and snap…..or if you begin to notice barking or howling dogs. The animals sense when Hecate is near. Yes, we have gotten very serious all of a sudden. That’s because a binding is a serious matter. Surprised? Don’t be. Just because I tend to look at things from a humorous perspective doesn’t mean I am not serious when the situation calls for it.

This invocation includes some of the correspondences for Hecate. If you choose, you can add these to your spellwork. (This would also be a fine addition to the opening of poppet magick). A general invocation for Hecate follows.

Binding and Cursing Spells c2015

Binding and Cursing Spells

Binding and cursing are often frowned upon in magickal circles. Many people like to believe they’ve been bound or cursed, but the truth is that very few people can do a decent binding or curse and those who can, even fewer would bother.

In binding, the idea is to prevent another person from doing something. Binding them from doing harm is a popular concept thanks to the 1996 movie The Craft. Binding someone to prevent them from telling a secret is another. It seems simple enough and well-intentioned too. However you must not forget that you will be bound along with them as you are the channel for the magic. You must be absolutely certain that you are right. There can be no doubt. The love spells that focus on a particular person are a binding. You want that one person, so you do a spell to make him or her come to you and love you. Then you’re stuck with them. They might be a total prat, might not be all that they seemed, or as my friend found, they might be violent and abusive. Unfortunately because of your binding, you’ve bound them to you and it’s not that easy to get rid of them.

For best results, a personal link is required for a successful binding. A photograph will suffice but hair, blood, nail clippings, clothing or a signed document work better. A doll or poppet can be stuffed with these, along with herbs or other materials. Baptise the doll with their name, every name for that person that you might know— full name, nicknames, online alter-egos, as many ways of clearly identifying that person that you can come up with. Then bind them with anything you desire; cord, chain, or even a piece of barbed wire. After they’re bound, seal it and deal with it as you will.

Paper cutout figures can work just as well. Write the person’s name in the middle and what you are binding them from and fold it up tightly. It can be secured with paperclips if you like.

Cursing is ill-wishing someone. Again, there is a chance that you will suffer alongside them, so be very careful before trying this. In the past, I have been somewhat creative in my cursing. I cursed someone to feel compassion for the victims of their actions. For me this wasn’t a problem, I am fairly compassionate by nature, but for him, it was a curse. Another person I’ve used this curse against committed suicide. I struggled with it for a day or two, but after thinking it through and processing things I came to the realisation that I was not responsible for her death. I wanted her to realise what she’d done and take responsibility for the damage she’d caused. How she chose to cope with that was completely on her and from what I hear, the consequences of her actions were catching up with her in other ways that were even less pleasant for her.

If you are going to curse, you first need to be sure that you mean it. You might want someone to have a nasty car crash, but if you aren’t also prepared to see them die slowly and horribly from cancer then you don’t really mean it. Even if you have the power to perform a curse of this magnitude, you need to think about a few things before you consider it. Working with dark energy is one thing. Cursing death is tantamount to murder. It’s no different from the person who chooses to use a gun, only this time your weapon is magic.

A family member of a friend was receiving death threats from someone. While she has cursed him, she has done it in such a way that the curse will only take effect if he crosses a boundary that she’s set around that family member and others that are close to him.

I’ve been accused of curses that I haven’t performed. My partner’s ex-wife believed that I was going to curse her when she started making trouble for him. In all honesty, why would I bother? She was doing it all to herself without me wasting any of my time and energy, what was the point?

Most of the time, if left to their own devices, people that you would consider binding or cursing manage to do it to themselves quite nicely. Some will suddenly realise that they’ve driven everyone away and maybe it was something they’re doing, some won’t. It’s never their fault as they’re perpetual victims. Cursing someone like this will only reinforce their mindset and behaviour. It won’t teach them a lesson so there’s no point wasting your energy.

There’s one last thing I want to say on this topic. In the Craft there is a saying, “if you can’t curse, you can’t heal”. Effectively what this means is that you need to destroy the illness in order for the healing to begin. You need to be balanced and work with both sides.

I ask you to really think about it before you bind someone else. This is one of those spells that if the Universe feels the person should not be bond it will not work. Plus, if you believe in the Law of Three/Threefold Law the consequences might not be to your liking as it could bind you from doing even the simplest spells depending on how strong your intention was to bind the other person when you cast it.

Who to Invite: If heads of state can’t make themselves available, check if Beyonce, Brad Pitt, or a Kardashian might squeeze the soiree into their schedules.

AUGUST 14 birthday horoscope predicts that you are likely to be complicated, Leo. You are strong, but with others, you are a force to be reckoned with. You are an emotional person but you seem to capture the attention of others, and they want to be around this magnificent lion. This is one person you will not like to mess around with.

If it is necessary to perform menial tasks, you will do so but grudgingly. It is typical of the August 14 birthday personality to leave work undone if they cannot find anybody to do the work they do not want to do.

However, put the same Lion a position of authority, and you have a proud leader. If this position additionally serves a purpose, then the lion is most satisfied.

It is not easy to upset or to disturb the natural calmness of an August 14th person, but when it happens, the lion is not to be underestimated. Things can get out of hand when the lion is angered. You sometimes like to show off in public.

However, the August 14th birthday astrology warns that you should not depend on others and should stay out of other people’s business. With your image on display and under the microscope, you should be careful to take care of your reputation.

As someone who is busy as a bee, you are full of dreams. Your plan to make it big drives you to be one active and intensely motivated individual. The August 14th horoscope shows that you would love to have someone to share it with. That someone needs to be able to provide some kind of stimulus to the Lion in question.

They say opposites attract but not in this case. It is the desire of this Leo birthday individual to accompany a partner who has as much influence as he or she has. You will not be happy with weak people.

Why not have the best of both worlds and shine independently and together with your partner as an equal. A combination of smarts and beauty will win the heart of the Lion born on this day. Nonetheless, a disturbed Lion is not a happy one. Do not take this Leo’s kindness for weakness.

The Leo boss born today on August 14, can be difficult to get along with if he or she cannot get any respect from the employees. It is unlikely however because you tend to take care of the people who take care of you. You have a certain way about you that the camera loves.

Ideally, you would do very well in the arts, radio, film or television. There are many rewards associated with these careers as well. You are no stranger to the spotlight as you attract the attention of many people from all walks of life.

Your heart is one the most important organs in the body. The person born on this day should take care of it physically and emotionally, as both can be affected areas of concern. You should exercise regularly and eat right. Stay away from drinks with caffeine and alcohol. A clear mind is so vital to your success as well as a healthy body.

An August 14 zodiac personality is awesome as a one-man band, but with other team members, you thrive and will surely find success in numbers. Emotionally, you are still a driving force that other people seem to find irresistible.

As per the August 14 birthday meaning, characteristically, the lion born on this day is a cool cat. Cool, that is until you upset the sleeping lion. You have many aspirations, but your biggest one is to have someone to share your life with.

The August 13 birthday meanings show that those born on this have excellent work ethics. Usually deep in your work, you do not relax until the project is closed. To close a file, all the details and fine print have to be considered and dealt with.

It is not likely to find this Lion relaxing in the sun. You like to be active and productive. “Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream,” is your motto. You will share your workload to provide someone with the same stimulation. Socially, you are amongst the popular choice of invites.

If today is your birthday, you may have an artistic trait. This creative streak is not limited to just going to the theater but performing. You are typically graceful individuals who are perhaps very proud.

As far as your money is concerned, the August 13 Leo is generally very cautious. The Lion does not go far away from his or her territory but will if there is a high probability of success. You do not like to fail, and you fear a public rejection when confronted with a setback. You worry how other folks see you, of your life’s accomplishments.

August 13 birthday Lions are generally people who like to learn. You like to discover life as you go along. You love to venture off into the unknown. An August 13 birthday personality also likes to learn and observe. Some think that you are the luckiest Irishman on earth. You born today are upbeat extroverts who are prepared for those “steals of a deal.”

A Simple Personal Growth Spell

Ingredients:

A white candle
A glass of coconut milk
Two tablespoons of saffron
A new sponge

How it’s done:

Light the white candle and stare at the candle flame without blinking; repeat this magic formula as long as you can with your eyes open:

“Dear Universe. Give me what I want. Blessed be.”

As the candle burns out, prepare a warm bath. Pour a glass of coconut milk and two tablespoons of saffron into the water. Then immerse yourself in the water and, rubbing your skin well with a new sponge, repeat the magic formula again.

If you want to increase its potency:

This procedure can be followed to increase the effect of a spell.

We will take the herbs we will need for the ritual and put them in a wooden or mortar bowl.

We light 4 candles on each side of the bowl, a white candle on the right (it will give us protection and represents spirituality), a yellow candle on the left (to increase psychic powers), and so on for the other two sides (i.e. the top and bottom of the bowl).

To do this you need to find a quiet place and try to be alone.

May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

As a Leo born on August 12th, you are agitated, enthusiastic and a courageous being. Nothing escapes your radar, unless you let it.

You tend to easily get attached to people and can also read into them quite fast. You are loyal and dependable when you care but can also be fierce and unforgiving if something goes wrong. Get ready to better understand your horoscope personality below.

The zodiac sign for August 12 is Leo.

Astrological symbol: Lion. This zodiac symbol is considered to influence those born July 23 – August 22, under the Leo zodiac sign. It suggests the majestic and empowering nature of these individuals.

The Leo Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, covering visible latitudes between +90° and -65°. It lies between Cancer to the West and Virgo to the East on an area of 947 square degrees. The brightest star is called Alpha Leonis.

The Latin name for the Lion, the August 12 zodiac sign is Leo. The French name it Leo while the Greeks call it Nemeaeus.

Opposite sign: Aquarius. It is considered that partnerships of any kind between the Leo and Aquarius sun sign people are the best in the zodiac and highlight relaxation and determination.

Modality: Fixed. This modality suggests the cautious nature of those born on August 12 and their loving sense and determination in most life aspects.

Ruling house: The fifth house. This means that Leos are at home in places that emanate energy, activity and competition. And so is the house of Enjoyment, the space of pleasures and games. This house also relates to children and their sheer joy and carelessness.

Ruling body: Sun. This planetary ruler suggests joy and logic. The Sun symbol in astrology is a simple circle. It is also relevant to mention about the enthusiasm component.

Element: Fire. This element makes things heat up in association with air, boils water and models earth. Fire signs born under the August 12 zodiac are versatile, enthusiastic and warm intellectuals.

Lucky day: Sunday. This day is under the governing of the Sun and symbolizes renewal and joy. It also identifies with the majestic nature of Leo natives.

Lucky numbers: 1, 9, 12, 14, 26.

Motto: “I want!”

People born on August 12 are bull headed and aspiring but at the same time they try to do things as correctly as possible. They are caring to those close to them but they can be quite fierce with those who cross them. They dislike cowardice and hesitance more than anything in the world and don’t dread anything but having to depend on such people. They are highly challenging and can often forget about a lot of things because of the higher goal they are trying to pursue.

Positive Traits: The natives in this sign are conversational and eloquent but motivated so they follow their interest and avoid wasting time. They prefer to work with facts and things are either white or black, never grey for them, unless of course, the grey is in their favor. They are however, sincere and try to enforce correctitude and confidence in their circle of mates and family. They are often the ones to motivate others.

Negative Traits: accepting that they need to be more cooperating and accept when others are right and embrace their explanation fixes without resentment should save these natives a lot of trouble. They are bossy and patronizing and they never seem to take a break from showing themselves in a boastful light. They often exaggerate things a lot and they never admit when they are at fault, despite the setting being blatantly clear.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on August 12 are passionate and sensual. They like to take time and invest both emotionally and materially in the dating ritual. They are attracted to exciting and adventurous persons who are also very ambitious and can keep up with them. You can conquer the heart of Leo if you know how to balance the moments when you recognize their merits and celebrate them for who they are with the moments where you temper their risky impulses.

They are either trying to win their lover’s heart while complaining about their unrequited love or they play hard to get. However they are an attractive and full of energy lover although they are prone to falling in and out of love quickly. A creative, freedom lover, once decided to settle will invest all their attention in their family and they will probably have brilliant children. Some struggle, trial and error will govern parts of their love life but in the end everything will be worth it. They are most compatible with those born on the 6th, 9th, 15th, 18th, 24th and 27th. August 12 Zodiac people are most attached to the other two fire signs: Aries and Sagittarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Leo is in a constant search for an active and visionary partner to expand their horizon and the best to offer this is the native in Aquarius. The least compatible with people born on August 12 are those born under Cancer. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Leo, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky color: Orange is the color defined for August 12 and in general for Leo natives.

Orange symbolizes energy and vitality coupled with strength. This zodiac color is advised to be used in accessories and items of clothing.

People with orange as sign color are always aware of their surroundings and tend to be adventurous and exploring all the time. Down to earth, they feel the need to fight for a peaceful and happy life and believe they can reach for everything they want through hard work and dedication.

Characteristics: August 12 Zodiac belongs to the second decan of LEO (August 2-August 12). This decan is under the supervision of the planet Jupiter.

August 12 Leo at Their Best: Faithful, dedicated, popular

August 12 Leo at Their Worst: Pushy, strict, overbearing

What to Wear: Nothing that could possibly out-class the guest of honor. Arrange to fade into the background when the “star“ makes a grand entrance.

What to Eat: Caviar, foie gras, Chateaubriand and, of course, truffles!

Who to Invite: If heads of state can’t make themselves available, check if Beyonce, Brad Pitt, or a Kardashian might squeeze the soiree into their schedules.

Where to Go: A palace (or a diner that can be decorated like one) would be rather appropriate.
