The Ten of Wands Tarot Card Description

A man is shown carrying a heavy burden of wood, in the form of ten bundled wands, approaching a town which is not too far. This image on the ten of wands indicates a person who has already struggled in life and has succeeded, and he is now carrying the harvests to his final destination. Although he is not near the destination, it shows that he has finished the hardest part of life struggle and he just needs a place to relax and revel in his success.

ALGIZ

Protection, Sedge and Rushes, a Moose

This is about the control of emotions. During transition periods, changing the course of life and accelerated self-change, it is important not to rush into emotions, either positive or negative. Remember that early action and right conduct are the only real protection. No matter whether your business flourishes or fades, don’t worry. Maybe you don’t win, but you will never lose, because you will always learn from what has happened. Moderation and civility are the strengths of the protective forces of this rune.

Amhancholl

Ae (sometimes represented as X or Xi), is Amhancholl or Eamhancholl, associated with Witch Hazel. This natural astringent is purifying and cleansing. The word Eamhancholl literally translates to “twin of Hazel”, so there is a strong connection to C–Coll in the Ogham. When Amhancholl appears, it’s usually an indicator that cleansing and purification is necessary or has taken place.

From a purely medicinal standpoint, Witch Hazel has long been used as a cleanser and astringent. Native American tribes turned it into a poultice which was used to treat swelling and tumors. Amongst the early settlers, midwives arriving in the New World found that it could be used to prevent sepsis following childbirth or an abortion. Today, it’s still in use as a treatment for skin inflammations, such as insect bites, mild burns, and even hemorrhoids.

Amhancholl Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means it’s time for a cleansing. Sometimes this is a physical cleansing of our Self, but often it applies to emotional clutter and baggage. Smudge your home, get rid of all the negative energies around you, and allow yourself to purify both your body and your mind.

Magical Aspects: This is a good indicator that you need to do a re-evaluation of your spiritual life. Are you studying things that no longer interest you? Are you hanging on to books or other magical items that you know you’ll never need–or worse, that you really dislike? If you’re feeling stagnant, or that you’re drifting a bit on a spiritual level, when this symbol appears it probably means you need to rethink your priorities. What are your spiritual goals? Do a cleansing ritual, and help yourself begin anew.

Hexagram Thirty – Two/32

Hêng / Durability

Arousing Thunder and penetrating Wind.
Close companions in any storm:
The Superior Person possesses a resiliency and durability that lets him remain firmly and faithfully on course.
Such constancy deserves success.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Endurance is the key to success in this situation.
However, durability is not synonymous with stone-like rigidity.
True resilience requires a flexibility that allows adaptation to any adverse condition, while still remaining true to the core.
Can you maintain your integrity under any circumstance?
Can you influence the situation without giving opposing forces anything to resist?
Then you will endure to reach your goal.

The Numerology Meaning of the Number 1: THE PRIMAL FORCE

From a spiritual perspective, the 1 is the number of creation – the primal force from which all other numbers spring forth. Some say once you truly understand the place and function of this elemental number, enlightenment will be yours.

This statement doesn’t apply to a Numerologist’s perspective alone, but perhaps it’s a good place to start since the personality of the number 1 aligns nicely with its elevated spiritual symbolism.

The 1 is a doer, a powerful force that produces results.

The 1 is aggressive – a necessary trait for creating, and not allowing anything to limit its potential. The 1 is the spearhead, always in the forefront directing and leading others.

The shape of this number reflects its meaning; the 1 walks upright with pride and purpose – strong, determined, and unwavering with a specific goal in mind. The 1 is capable of turning ideas into reality – pushing obstacles aside or simply drilling right through them.

The 1 tends to have a simple, straightforward view of life, heedless of its many complexities.

An individual with the dynamic 1 trusts their ability to separate right from wrong, doesn’t waste time on abstract ideas, and rarely follows a path that isn’t in line with their result-oriented goal. The 1 is no preacher, no philosopher, spiritual explorer, nor dreamer – and certainly not an idealist. They are pragmatic, ruthless conquerors, and warriors extraordinaire. The 1 is individualistic and independent to a fault. They will attempt to force their viewpoint on you but have no desire to hear yours.

The 1 can be confrontational, jealous, and exceedingly stubborn, but also courageous and willing to try anything new (with promise) even at great risk. They have a sense of honor and responsibility that demands respect and are the first to defend injustice and hypocrisy.

Befriend a 1 and you have a friend for life.

Fortunately, the 1 has a great capacity for humor, often self-depreciating, so you can poke fun at your friend and not worry about hurt feelings. But don’t cater to them to win love or friendship or you will lose their respect. Stand up to a 1 and you may lose the fight, but you’ll gain admiration. Working for a 1 you will be pushed to the limit, abused at all hours, and incapable of living up to unreasonable expectations. But you will also become the best you can be.

When in trouble, you want a friend with a strong 1 on your side, and you won’t find a braver partner or a more dedicated protector. But, if the 1 is your enemy, you could be crushed without mercy. And be forewarned, the number 1 is the most difficult of all lovers, demanding, jealous, confrontational, and impatient.

If you have a 1 in your core numbers, your happiness and sense of satisfaction will come from your work more than any other source.

All Signs

This is a positive, productive week with a romantic Friday evening leading to a wonderful weekend full of opportunities to socialize and enjoy the company of others. Yes — a fun weekend down the road! Naturally, there’s no free lunch. What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away. In this case, it’s the Full Moon on Monday the 27th. As this week begins, there’s a Full Moon in Gemini that occurs at the same time that Mercury is at odds with fuzzy Neptune. This means we will all have heightened, erratic energy due to the Full Moon, and at the same time, our communications will be like two ships passing in the night. “Marco?” “Heathcliffe!”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be careful on Monday because this is an accident-prone day for Aries. There’s a lot of Full-Moon energy taking place that will affect your conversations, any errands or appointments that you have, plus short trips. For example, you might encounter confusion about belief systems or something to do with politics and religion. Don’t believe everything you hear. (And don’t believe everything you think!) By Wednesday, your week picks up in a lovely way. Relations with partners and close friends are smooth and supportive. Travel plans look promising. Issues related to earnings and cash flow are encouraging. Get ready for a fun weekend! Make some exciting plans.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

As I have mentioned many times before, you are the financial wizard of the zodiac. This week begins with the Full Moon impacting both of your Money Houses, which bring issues to a head or some kind of culmination. However, at the same time, there’s a strong influence that will create confusion about financial matters (possibly even deceit) including cash flow, earnings and inheritances plus the wealth and resources of your partner or someone else. Therefore, wait until Wednesday, to make financial decisions so that you really know what you’re doing. In fact, Wednesday’s an excellent day to entertain big ideas. Enjoy the rest of the week!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You will feel a strange energy at the beginning of this week because on Monday, the only Full Moon in your sign all year will take place. Not only that, at the same time, your ruler Mercury will be at odds with fuzzy Neptune creating confused communications, misinterpretations, false assumptions and possibly, even deceit. This kind of energy coupled with the Full Moon in your sign, is enough to give you pause. (Little furry ones.) Avoid important decisions until Wednesday. Ironically, from Wednesday onwards, the rest of the week is fabulous! However, prior to Wednesday, don’t do anything you might later regret. Be smart.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

At the beginning of this week, on Monday, the Full Moon will take place in a hidden part of your chart, which could make you feel kind of discombobulated. You might feel indecisive or confused. This is because not only is the Full Moon creating some unusual energy for you, in addition, Mercury is at odds with fuzzy Neptune on the same day. This means you can expect confusion and misunderstandings in your conversations with others. You might even want to hold back information or keep a secret for some reason. You might have some unrealistic longings or pie-in-the-sky wishes? Until Wednesday, don’t act. Just coast. The good news is that after Tuesday, for the rest of the week, it’s smooth sailing!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It will be smart to zip thy lip and be as tactful as possible as this week begins (on Sunday and Monday) because the Full Moon on Monday could create misunderstandings or friction with friends or members of groups. In addition to which, because Mercury is at odds with Neptune at the same time, romantic relationships might disappoint. You might also have confused communications with your kids. The best thing for you to do is to maintain a holding pattern until Wednesday. Then voila! Wednesday, and for the rest of the week, turn into a fantastic time to socialize, enjoy vacations, sports events, the arts and fun times with kids. Therefore, tiptoe softly at the beginning of the week. Make no judgments. Say nothing you will regret later. Then, from Wednesday onward, enjoy good times!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Tread carefully on Sunday and Monday at the beginning of this week because your relations with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police are confusing and challenging. Don’t go looking for trouble because it will find you. Don’t try to defend yourself or correct someone in authority. Steer clear of family arguments. (Incidentally, someone might not believe you.) Fortunately, these potential problems will fade by Wednesday, which is a popular day! After that, the rest of the week is pleasant and easy going. Expect to focus on home and family more than usual, perhaps with home repairs. You will also enjoy shopping for beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Ka-ching!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do at the beginning of the week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) because this is an accident-prone time for you. Physical accidents or verbal gaffes. Furthermore, conversations with others will be misleading, confusing and prone to misunderstandings. Accept these restrictions, because on Wednesday, your impress everyone! And for the rest of the week, you’ll enjoy a fast pace of stimulating activity. You’ll love talking to others, especially young people. After Tuesday, it’s a great week to shop for wardrobe items for yourself. It’s also a great time to convince others about your ideas, which are excellent for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching and acting. (Remember: On Wednesday, you’re convincing!)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful with financial matters, including shopping, at the beginning of the week on Sunday and Monday, because Monday’s Full Moon could create stress for you in terms of financial matters, debt, inheritances, taxes, earnings and cash flow. Problems related to something that you own might also occur. These problems could be misunderstandings or arguments with someone else. They might also be an indication of some kind of financial deal gone wrong. Whatever the case, by Wednesday, everything changes. In fact, Wednesday is an excellent day to make travel plans or explore opportunities in medicine, the law and higher education. Continue to focus on ways to boost your earnings later this week. Trust your moneymaking ideas.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Tread carefully at the beginning of this week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) because the Full Moon on Monday is the only Full Moon all year that is opposite your sign. In addition to which, Mercury in your sign is at odds with fuzzy Neptune on the same day. This means discussions with partners, spouses and close friends could be adversarial and confusing. Misunderstandings will be rife. Wait until Wednesday when everything changes. On Wednesday, the resources of others and financial decisions will boost your health, your job and your general well-being! The rest of the week is lovely. Enjoy!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Whatever you’re dealing with at the beginning of this week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) will be confusing or disconcerting for some reason. You might second-guess yourself. You might lack confidence. Quite likely, you’ll have that feeling you’re not sure what’s going on. Fear not, this is all to do with the Full Moon on Monday happening at the same time that Mercury is odds with fuzzy Neptune. And you’re right. This is a disconcerting time. Muddle through until Wednesday, which is a great day to socialize! Relations with others will be upbeat and rewarding. Following that, the rest of the week is grand! Make plans for the weekend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

At the beginning of the week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday), you might find it challenging dealing with friends or members of groups. Likewise, you might find it challenging dealing with your kids, teammates in sports, and definitely a romantic lover. The reason for this is the Full Moon on Monday will create tension dealing with these people. Plus this Full-Moon tension is further exacerbated by the fact that on the same day as the Full Moon occurs, Mercury is at odds with Neptune, which further confuses your communications with others. Oy! This is frustrating! Not only will emotions be running high, but there will be confused communications. Fortunately, by Wednesday, all is well. Work-related travel and group efforts are blessed. The rest of the week and the weekend are fun-loving and playful.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be aware that dealing with authority figures (parents, bosses, VIPs and the police) will be challenging at the beginning of this week on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Arguments and misunderstandings are likely. The Full Moon on Monday might create a tug-of-war within you about the demands of home and family versus the demands of your job or your career. Furthermore, on that same day, Mercury is at odds with Neptune, which will create confused communications. Possibly even deception. This is a frustrating combo! Fortunately, by Wednesday, you’re in the mood to party and trip the light fantastic! Relations with kids and romantic partners will shine. These good feelings continue right on into the weekend at the end of the week. Make plans to socialize and enjoy good times with others. This week has a tough beginning but a great ending! (All’s well that ends well.)

A Proclamation on National Native American Heritage Month (November), 2023

Now we wait to see if this proclamation is carried out or just more lip service by another USA president.

A Proclamation on National Native American Heritage Month, 2023

During National Native American Heritage Month, we recognize the invaluable contributions of Native peoples that have shaped our country and honor the hundreds of Tribal Nations who continue exercising their inherent sovereignty as vital members of the overlapping system of governments in the United States.  We also recommit to supporting Tribal sovereignty; upholding the Federal Government’s solemn trust and treaty responsibilities; and working in partnership with Tribal Nations to advance prosperity, dignity, and safety for all Native peoples.

Since time immemorial, Native communities have passed down rich cultures, knowledge, traditions, and ways of life.  But throughout our history, Native peoples’ cultures, identities, and governments were not always seen as a part of this Nation but as a threat to it.  Native people were pressured to assimilate, banned from practicing their traditions and sacred ceremonies, and forced from their homes and ancestral homelands.  This violence and devastation cost countless lives, tore families apart, and caused lasting damage to Tribal communities and institutions.

Despite centuries of violence and oppression, Native peoples remain resilient and proud.  Today, Native Americans are essential to the fabric of the United States.  They serve in the United States Armed Forces at higher rates than any other ethnic group.  They continue to steward so many of our great lands.  Their contributions to science, humanities, arts, public service, and more have brought prosperity for all of us.  Their diverse cultures and communities continue to thrive and lead us forward.

Since the beginning of my Administration, I have been determined to help champion a new and better chapter in the story of our Nation-to-Nation relationships.  I started by appointing Native Americans to lead in my Administration — including the first Native American Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, dozens of Senate-confirmed Native American officials, and over 80 Native American appointees serving across my Administration and in the Federal courts.  I restored the annual White House Tribal Nations Summit to advance communication between key members of my Administration and the leaders of hundreds of Tribal Nations.  My Administration formally recognized Indigenous Knowledge as one of the many important bodies of knowledge that contributes to the scientific, technical, social, and economic advancements of the United States and our collective understanding of the natural world.

Together with leadership from Tribal Nations, we are making historic investments in Indian Country.  Our American Rescue Plan invested $32 billion in Tribal Nations — the largest one-time direct investment in Indian Country in American history.  Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invested more than $13 billion to rebuild infrastructure, the single largest investment in Indian Country infrastructure in history.  Our Inflation Reduction Act also made the largest investment ever to combat the existential threat of climate change, including $700 million dedicated to climate change response in Native communities.  Last year, I signed a Presidential Memorandum that improves consultation between the Federal Government and Tribal Nations.

My Administration is also working to address the impacts of harmful Federal policies of the past while ensuring Native communities are safe and healthy.  Through the Department of the Interior’s Road to Healing initiative, Native language preservation, public safety initiatives, and bold new investments, we are supporting Native American families and their communities as they heal.  We are also working to improve public health and safety for Native Americans.  I signed an Executive Order that helps us respond more effectively to the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous peoples.  Last year, when we reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act, I was proud to include historic provisions that reaffirm Tribal sovereignty and restore Tribal jurisdiction.  My budget for Fiscal Year 2024 also requested a $9.1 billion infusion for the Indian Health Service, and I have asked the Congress to make that funding a mandatory part of the Federal budget for the first time in our history.

We are also committed to partnering with Tribal Nations to protect and steward their sacred and ancestral lands and waters.  Through Tribal co-stewardship agreements, we work directly with Tribal Nations to make decisions about how to manage those lands that are most precious to them — recognizing and utilizing the invaluable knowledge they have from countless generations.  I established new national monuments protecting lands sacred to Tribal Nations at Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni in Arizona, the Camp Hale-Continental Divide in Colorado, and Avi Kwa Ame in Nevada.  I also restored protections for the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument in New England and Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah.

This month, we celebrate Native American history and culture.  We are reminded that with hard work and a commitment to our founding ideals, we can address the wrongs of our past and become a more perfect Union — one that ensures liberty, justice, dignity, and equality for all.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2023 as National Native American Heritage Month.  I urge all Americans, as well as their elected representatives at the Federal, State, and local levels, to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.  Also, I urge all Americans to celebrate November 24, 2023, as Native American Heritage Day.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth.

Ace Of Wands – Minor Arcana

The Ace of Wands Shadowscapes Tarot represents creativity in excitement, adventure, a challenge to motivate forward with courage and confidence.

Steadily, the wand plugged into the ground. From there, it spreads out a crimson light, like the usual reactions when flint stones collide in a pile of dust, so on, inspiration also originates from that light.

The spirits and wind goblins began to leave the residence. They hide in the shape of normal light spots, not very prominent, and then, escape from leaves, nooks, boulders and the sky. There was a flash of lightning. The challenge began to be revealed. Invitations were spread everywhere at dawn.

Once being set, the fire became unstable, seemingly unpredictable and was out of control. The source of that energy, unrestrained, exploded, frantically turned into a wildfire. Let’s take this wild opportunity and shine on the intense fire.

These animals are the spirits and guardians of the Wand: fox, cat, lion. They were brilliant with the light of wisdom and prudence, dashing like an arrow flying through the world, with the fiery flames of a fierce and powerful spirit.

Keywords related to the Ace of Wands Shadowscapes Tarot: energy, inspiration, innovation, optimism, invention, trust, enthusiasm, willpower, tenacity, fertilization, creativity, conception, growth, sexuality, motivation, initiative, new project, new business, the power of fire element, a turning point, new experiences, new ideas, new start, turning ambition into action.

 Crossroad

Since ancient times it has been considered that crossroads are very powerful places. They are often used for magic procedures. The crossroads also symbolize the crossed spears. Nevertheless, in spite of its mystery the fallen rune Crossroad doesn’t mean something bad. It only hints that you are on the way to choose as you are standing on the crossroads. And only you can decide what way to choose. You shall take much pain to analyze everything, make a decision and listen to your mind and intuition.

Key words: road choice, crossroad, gates, free will, your decision

Ioho

Grace, death, letting go, endings, rest, the beauty of decay

Tree: Yew (Taxus spp.)

Letter: Y

Ioho symbolizes the acceptance of enduring realities and legacies of the past. If you draw Ioho, look for the end of a phase or cycle. Ioho suggests you are handling or will handle the matter at hand with dignity and grace.

Modern culture has spent a great deal of time running away from the ideas of death and decay as natural, welcome processes. As a result, we have a society obsessed with launching our species into space for fear of extinction, a medical industry bent on extending life long after it has ceased to have any quality, and a fixation on youth that motivates the middle aged to undergo brutal, grisly procedures in order to look twenty. When we frame aging (not just of human beings) in a sensible way, we understand that getting old isn’t so terrible. People age and die. Technologies change. Weeks become years. Eras fade away. Letting go is for the best.

Ioho is about accepting limits gracefully. We cannot control much of what is around us or what happens to us in life, but we can control a great deal of how we perceive it and what we decide to do about it.

Though this Ogham has profound similarities to the Death card of the Tarot, like that card, 99.9 percent of the time it is not to be taken literally. Drawing Ioho does not mean you or someone in your circle is fated for immediate death. Instead, it signifies the necessary end and inevitability of all things decaying and dying. More often than not, the death process is much slower than we impatient humans are able to bear. Look for a lesson that comes from the acceptance of endings rather than literal death.

Six of Wands – Minor Arcana

Success after hard work

A woman with a small dragon on her shoulder stands with a crown on her head. A five-point star is centered on her forehead, directly over the spiritual third eye. This symbolizes the woman’s connection with spiritual guidance and her access to ancient knowledge.  Before her is a table covered with rolled scrolls, quill pens, and other magickal equipment. Prominently to the front is a brass vase holding six crystal topped wands. Other small dragon fly and sit about the room. The star (pentacle of protection and a symbol of the Goddess) and the crown (spiritual enlightenment) reveal that this magician is on a higher path of life. She has gathered her will power (the wands) and placed them in a position to bring about fertility an manifestation (the vase). This fertile energy is repeated in the Celtic scrollwork carved into the table, the magician’s center for working her will.

Divinatory Meaning: You are rewarded with success after hard work. A message of good news brightens your day. There could be advancement in career. Supportive friends give you the courage to follow your dreams.

Tinne/Teine

T stands for Tinne, or Teine, the Holly tree. This evergreen plant is connected to immortality, unity, courage, and the stability of hearth and home. Pronounced chihnn-uh by the Celts, the wood of the Holly was often used in the construction of weapons, and is known as a plant of warriors and protectors.

In the pre-Christian British Isles, the Holly was often associated with protection–planting a hedge around your home would keep malevolent spirits out, thanks in no small part to the sharp spikes on the leaves. In Celtic myth, the concept of the Holly King and the Oak King symbolizes the changing of the seasons, and the transition of the earth from the growing time to the dying season.

When Christianity moved into the Celtic lands, the new religion associated the Holly plant with the story of Jesus. The poky spikes on the leaves represent the crown of thorns worn by Jesus on the cross, and the bright red berries symbolize his blood.

Associated with the willow tree, Saille corresponds to letter S. Willow trees are associated with the moon and water. However, the tree used in the ogham alphabet isn’t the famous weeping willow, but the pussy willow.

Since it’s sacred to the moon, it also embodies the association of imagination, intuition, and instinct, as well as flexibility and flow. Also, it’s regarded as sacred to the Welsh goddess Ceridwen who rules over the moon.

General: Spiritual discrimination is as important as physical discrimination.

Love: Choose your thoughts and words wisely in your relationship and remember to be tolerant.

Business: Use the right words and you will help sustain and nourish your business.

Personal: Now is a good time to clear out all that is not worthy from your life.

Overview: I relates to nourishment. In the same way that food is used to nourish your body, I suggests that words and ideas be used in the same way. It cautions that as with food your words should be chosen carefully. Just as bad food can upset you or those around you, bad words can do the same. When the body and spirit are both well provided for then you will be at your most powerful and effective

Numerology

Seven

Seven, among numbers of the numerological core, is about wisdom, sophistication, high level of education and a philosophical attitude to life. The influence of this number defines you as a person who can achieve much, if not everything. Nature has granted you with sharp analytical mind, originality of thought and skillful fingers. There is hardly a field of activity you would be totally unsuitable for. That is why your personal image is not too appealing. The feeling of superiority gives rise to intolerance and cynical attitude to others’ weaknesses. And people don’t like those who look down on them.

Positive qualities

The main strength of the Seven is the ability to think. Think for real. That is, they can set a question and then use logic, erudition and insight to find the answer.

In fact, quite a few are capable of doing such, which gives you a distinct advantage in most situations. It is quite natural that people regard you as a wise advisor.

Another positive quality is your inner tranquility. You can fire up and start yelling because of any trifle, but it is virtually impossible to bring you out of balance and make you lose your head.

Negative qualities

Clearly negative features of the Seven are their inherent cynicism, misanthropy, groundless suspicion and certain wildness in their behavior.

You do not care about what they think or say, so you do not give yourself trouble to show good manners, or even common courtesy. If you want to, you can “teach a lesson in etiquette” in such an insulting form that the other person will feel offended.

Moreover, you seize every moment to demonstrate your independence and unwillingness to be part of the crowd. So you will never become a darling of all hearts.

Seventy – Six

Basic meaning of angel number “76”

Angel number “76” means that the path you are choosing is right and that if you keep going, you will seize the opportunity and gain success.

However, be aware that you can be negative yourself, so keep in mind that you are positive.

Angels are worried that negative feelings can make them more likely to think in the wrong direction and become more obsessed with their actual actions.

Understand that your destiny can change for the better with your heart.

Moon Phases And Simple Rituals

Source: wiccaacademy.com

Through the ages, the Moon has always identified as a celestial body that links to our emotions. There are many different religions that place an importance on the Moon. These religions range from pagan to organized religion. The moon’s lunar cycle is often used as a way to mark calendars and specific rituals are associated with each moon phase.

Like its natural counterpart, the Sun, the Moon also has a myriad of gods and goddesses linked to it. Not to mention the hundreds of myths and legends centering around the Moon. Have you ever used the phrase, ‘once in a blue moon’ or ‘there must be a full moon tonight’? Well those are a few examples of how the Moon was referred to calculate time and also tied to specific emotions.

So how does any of this relate to Wicca? (Witchcraft most traditions)

The Moon is often associated with the element Water and femininity. One of the most distinct symbols in Wicca that features the Moon is the Triple Moon Goddess. It contains three different phases; the waxing, full and waning moon phases.

A brief run down behind the meaning of this symbol is that it represents the three forms of the Goddess: The Maiden, the Mother and the Crone. When these three are together, it creates the complete experience of Feminine Power. It is a great symbol to use to form a connection with one’s feminine side. Let it be a reminder that everything in life is the way it’s meant to be.

Of course this isn’t a new symbol by any means. Archaeologists discovered a stone sculpture of the Goddess Hecate (Goddess of Magic) depicted as three goddesses in a single entity has been dated back to 5 B.C.E. The Goddess Demeter was also depicted as a tri-goddess throughout various stages of history.

If you aren’t familiar with the basic signs and symbols of Wicca, check out the course we offer on that subject. Sign up for a free account and we’ll grant you access.

But why are different moon phases important?

There are energies associated with different moon phases. Each one is great for utilizing in specific rituals and spells.

First Quarter Moon

The first quarter moon and third quarter moon phase are similar. They are both illuminated halfway through. This happens because the Sun is side by side with the Moon. The Moon has reached half its power during these two phases. The first quarter phase illuminates on the right side while the third quarter is on the left side.

The first quarter phase is great for inner reflection and taking stock of what is around you. Take the time to celebrate your own achievements. It’s also an excellent time to start planning rituals for the full moon phase. The laws of attracting material objects are strongest during this period too. Manifest these objects by journaling.

Questions to ask include:

What did I do in the past month that I would like to improve on?

What are some decisions that I made that I’ve regretted in the last month?

What can I manifest in the next month that can push myself forward? Either as a person or from the current situation I am in now.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, November 19 to Saturday, November 25, 2023

All Signs

A repeated warning for those who want to buy a car, truck, bike (any form of ground transportation) or a computer or cell phone in the next few months. Please know that Mercury is retrograde from Dec 12 to Jan 1, 2024. However, I recommend the buffer dates (when Mercury slows down before hand – and afterwards before it catches up to the degree it went retrograde.) These dates are: Dec. 5 – to Jan 21, 2024. Just saying….. This week the Sun enters Sagittarius to stay for four weeks. This will give everyone the travel bug! It will also boost our enthusiasm for life and encourage outdoor activities. Of course, Sagittarius is the philosopher of the zodiac, which is why we will ponder profound thoughts – like the fact that all the ancient Greek philosophers are now dead, and probably most of them died in Greece.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Good news! This week the Sun enters your fellow Fire Sign, which is supportive — like the third leg on a three-legged stool. This happens twice a year, four months before and four months after your birthday. You can expect your general energy level to get a boost; plus, you will have increased confidence to make plans for your future. This will be a good time to take stock and survey your past achievements. You will want to travel. You might also be hungry to learn and study new things, which is why some of you might take a course or ponder going back to school. An exciting month ahead!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week the Sun changes signs, which means in the next four weeks, you will be more focused on financial matters, especially shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. You might be involved with the wealth and resources of your partner or someone else. You might sign important papers or negotiate finances. Fortunately, coworkers are supportive. Furthermore, with lucky Jupiter in your sign, you have divine protection. You might meet someone in the next few weeks who challenges your values. This could be healthy. As each year goes by and you learn and experience new things, your values will change in a subtle way.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This week the Sun moves opposite your sign to stay for four weeks. (Happens once a year.) Some things are coming to a culmination; however, relations with authority figures might be challenging. Don’t provoke arguments. Expect to see failures as well as gains. It’s likely you’ll encounter someone whose ambitions conflict with yours. Your personal interactions are important now. Don’t withdraw from others. You will need more sleep in the next four weeks. This is a time when your successes and failures are obvious. This week in particular, accept invitations to socialize and enjoy the company of others, especially children. Romance is blessed!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For the next four weeks, you’ll be gung-ho to work hard and get as much done as possible. Your focus will be on efficiency and effectiveness because you want to make every action count. You will be focused more than usual on your health, perhaps seeing ways to boost your health through exercise or healthier eating. You might have to work according to someone else’s needs. You might perform a service or a favour for someone. Or perhaps, someone else is simply calling the shots? You will enjoy redecorating your digs as well as entertaining at home. Meanwhile, Mars will guarantee passionate romance, playful energy and an interest in competitive sports.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Lucky you! This week the Sun enters your fellow Fire Sign, which will be supportive for you in the next four weeks. It’s time to take stock and examine the projects you’ve been working on because some of them will come to a culmination. Success is near at hand. Meanwhile, this is the one time of year when you really want to play and do your own thing! It’s the perfect time to get away on a vacation. Make an effort to enjoy social outings, the theatre, musical performances, sports events, fun activities with kids and mini vacations. You want to set your own priorities and do your own thing. Fortunately, fair Venus will sweeten your words and make you charming and diplomatic.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week the Sun moves to the bottom of your chart, which makes you want to withdraw and enjoy your privacy. You will want more time to contemplate life. Memories from the past might bubble to the surface of your mind. You might be more involved than usual with a parent. Some of you will also tackle home repairs and be involved in family discussions. It’s a time for you to reflect. Meanwhile, you can attract money to you, and you will certainly want to spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Fiery Mars in your House of Communications will guarantee lively discussions because you will identify with your beliefs. Oh yeah!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Fasten your seatbelt because the next four weeks will be busy! Errands, appointments plus short trips will be some reasons your schedule will be packed. Many of you will also be reading, writing and studying more than usual. Some will teach. It’s important for you to feel confident about your ability to talk to others because in this window of time, you need to be heard. After all, we’re gregarious creatures. We need to go out to see others as well as to be seen. You are the most sociable sign in the zodiac, so it’s important for you to be bolstered by the knowledge that you have your immediate social network. With your ruler Venus in your sign now, you look mahvellous, dahling!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have energy to burn because with your co-ruler Mars in your sign, you’ll be more of a fighter for your own rights. Because your physical energy is high, you will get a lot done. (Mars is in your sign only once every two years for about six weeks.) Meanwhile, this week the Sun enters your Money House, which increases your focus on cash flow, earnings and your concern about your possessions. Remember George Carlin? “The whole meaning of life is trying to find a place for your stuff!” Now is an excellent time to take stock of what you own and figure out how to get rid of what you don’t need. Actually, more than any other sign, you’re good at purging your “stuff!”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Ta da! This week the Sun moves into your sign to stay for the next four weeks, which will boost your energy and increase your confidence! You will attract people to you as well as favourable situations. Plus, you will make a great impression on others. Mercury in your sign will increase your desire to express yourself, which you will do with conviction. Mercury will also make you want to get out and travel. (A boon!) Meanwhile, Venus in your House of Friendships makes this a great time to schmooze and party with others. Not only will you enjoy time with friends, you will thrive in group settings, business conferences and organizations. Enjoy!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your personal year is drawing to a close. Therefore, in the next four weeks, the Sun will be “hiding” in your chart before it makes its entrance, centre stage in your sign. This is the best time of the year to be contemplative. Make time for self-care and a bit of pampering. Ponder your life. Where you’ve been and where you want to go. What do you want for yourself in the coming year? Now is the time to set goals because they give you a clearer focus on what is important to you. They make decision making easier. Goals will even give you a sense of purpose. Others will ask for your advice about how to make something look better. And if you’re out of town – you’re the expert.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Friendships are important to you. This is why you will bubble with enthusiasm in the next four weeks while the Sun sits in your House of Friendships (the only time all year this happens.) You might ask yourself if you’re hanging out with the right people? (Only be with people who have your back. Life is too short to do otherwise.) You might also be more involved with clubs, groups and organizations, and again, you will ask yourself if you want to be in these groups? “Are these my people?” The next four weeks are an excellent time to set goals, which help to keep you on track. They also make future decision-making easier. Meanwhile, accept all invitations to travel because you’re eager for a change of scenery.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Once a year the Sun sits at the top of your chart for four weeks and casts you in a flattering spotlight. This lovely blessing begins this week! This is why in the next several weeks, you will be admired, even if you don’t do anything special. (Chalk it up to smoke and mirrors.) Obviously this four-week window will be the time to demand the advantage and go after what you want. Ask for permission or approval! (It doesn’t get better than this.) You might also be more involved with a parent than usual. Meanwhile, you’ll be eager to travel. Romance will be affectionate and sizzling. Others will give you with money and practical favours. (We like!) Looking swell!
