October 1, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for October 1st, 2024 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 28.03 days old and 1.97% illuminated with a tilt of -20.199°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 405,727.10 km and the moon sign is Virgo.

The Moon phase for October 1st, 2024 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.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 5 PM to 6:45 PM EDT today (2 PM to 3:45 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be clear with financial matters today at work, or with anything related to your health or a pet. This is because something unexpected might occur, in addition to which, an element of confusion might obscure what is really going on. Stay on top of things. Things are moving fast and no one is 100% sure what’s happening. Factoid.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Romance might disappoint today. It might also surprise you! However, make sure you really understand what’s happening because confusion is likely. Meanwhile parents should be vigilant with their children today, especially regarding poisons and bad food. Keep your eyes open.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a poor day for important family discussions, especially with parents because the wrong assumptions plus confused facts could create problems. Someone might even lie or stretch the truth to avoid embarrassment. Stock the fridge because something unexpected might happen.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Don’t believe everything you hear today because issues are confusing, even deceptive. Meanwhile, pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. However, on the upside, you might have meet someone new or have a clever idea!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Double check everything related to financial matters, cash, and even your possessions because something confusing is present today. (Someone might also be fast and loose with the truth?) In addition, unexpected events might suddenly occur that impact your assets. (Yikes!)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might be obsessed with something. Your freedom and independence will also matter to you. Basically, you might feel restless. Be careful and pay attention to avoid accidents. Meanwhile, conversations with friends and partners are confusing and possibly, disappointing. Stay chill.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a restless day. You might feel listless, confused or lacking in motivation and direction. (Don’t worry because many people feel this way today.) Pay attention to banking details and anything related to the wealth and resources of someone else because a surprise might catch you off guard.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don’t jump to conclusions when talking to a friend today (or perhaps a group) because confusion is rampant. Misunderstandings or hasty assumptions might occur. In turn, this could lead to needless disappointments. Possibly, a friend or partner will surprise you? Steady as she goes.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Don’t jump to conclusions when dealing with parents, bosses and authority figures today, including the police. Confusion and misunderstandings are likely, therefore guard against knee-jerk reactions. Furthermore, something out of the blue, related to your health or your job might occur. Tricky!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for you. In addition, conversations with others, plus media information, might be confusing or misleading. Parents should be extra vigilant because this is an accident-prone day for their kids as well.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unexpected might impact them. You might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Be leery of financial advice because someone might deceive you either on purpose or accidentally. (Yikes!)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be tolerant and patient dealing with partners and close friends today because confused communications could lead to disappointment. You might not have all the facts? Or the facts that you have might be wrong? Meanwhile, this is a mildly accident-prone day so pay attention to everything you say and do. Above all, cut others some slack.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Brie Larsen (1989) shares your birthday today. You are flirtatious, passionate and modest. You are also intelligent, capable and dedicated. This year is the beginning of a new nine-year cycle for you. Expect new adventures and major changes in your life. Prepare for a leadership role. Take the initiative and define your goals.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It seems that there are a lot of things around you, from small details, apparent coincidences that are happening to the way certain people have started behaving around you that point towards you being in need to put some order in some of your life aspects.

Don’t let yourself distracted or be happy with just half of the glass full.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It seems that the current disposition is prompting you towards new ways to increase your income but you will have to be very careful in return to really seize which is a good opportunity and which not.

Of course some things will be too good to be true while others might seem unfruitful but will in turn hide interesting rewards.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You need to put your mind in a different light and try something new before you want to be able to express yourself about that something, whether you are an artist or work in a highly scientific domain.

This day requires for you to be practical, to touch things, to feel them with your own hands and think them with your own mind before anything else.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It seems that the current disposition is trying to remind you what you might have lost in the past in a situation, either triggered by you or by someone close to you.

Whether you are feeling the same way as you did back then or things have changed and you moved past that, it will be interesting to see how you tackle that.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It seems that this Tuesday is set to teach you a lesson or two about being secretive and about not reacting properly to what is going on around you.

There might be some changes around or just some small transformations that you will have to react to and maybe your first answer will be to hide from them, something not advisable in the current context.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Some financial opportunities ahead for those with a taste for risk but just minor improvements for the ones who like to play it safe.

However, seeing things move finally will probably put things in a different context for everyone and you will feel a lot more motivated to do something. Some do risk being distracted by things around.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The current disposition seems to grow new feelings around you and to show you all nurturing and caring for a person you might have just met.

This is interesting to follow as looking at it from afar, there are two main outcomes, you either build up something more in this relationship or you get extremely disappointed, something you won’t be able to sweat off easily.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are trying to stay away from temptation, actively I’d say but it doesn’t really work out that well when there are so many resources lying out there for you.

What would be a good thing to do is count more on your intuition and imagination rather than imposing stuff on yourself. You have means to be efficient and don’t need to force them.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Try to be in contact with yourself this Tuesday because this will probably help clarify a lot of misunderstandings in your life.

Whether you have been looking for answers all wrong or you have been so stuck in the matter that you haven’t even searched for answers yet, you will see that a bit of introspection might show up some ideas.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You seem to be expecting feedback, whether it is something you are doing consciously or not. You want opinions about what you are doing but maybe you are not yet all that prepared to accept them as they come.

Although you feel at the moment you might find better courage if someone is supporting you, all you need should come from inside.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You appear to be quite needy this Tuesday and somehow fixated on your plans no matter what is happening around you.

This means that your main tendency will be to ignore the wants of those around you and to be fully demanding of them. You might even be put to make some decisions but you’ll only look at your own side.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are not anymore willing to overlook certain aspects in a matter that has been going on for a while now and things are going to become increasingly tense, especially if you don’t let go.

Although you might be right, maybe this is not the time to speak out, maybe you’ve waited too long or maybe you don’t have enough arguments at the moment.

Witchcraft Acts

In England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland there has historically been a succession of Witchcraft Acts governing witchcraft and providing penalties for its practice, or—in later years—rather for pretending to practise it.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the September 2024 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on September 30 has an illumination of 5%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On September 30 the Moon is 27.49 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You have strong energy to start your week! In particular, discussions with partners, close friends and members of the general public will be vigourous. This is a great day to reorganize things at home or make home improvements. (Don’t waste this day.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You can make headway in a number of areas today, in part because your communications with others will be vigourous and concise. This is a strong day to deal with children as well as creative projects. At work, you will be clear and to the point! (“Can you hear me now?”)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today is a playful day; nevertheless, you’re serious about financial matters and ways to earn money. Discussions with family members (perhaps a female) might concern finances. Don’t be discouraged by someone’s negativity. Meanwhile, accept invitations to socialize! Enjoy sports and fun times with kids.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you have the energy to work and go after what you want because the Moon is dancing with fiery Mars in your sign. Family discussions will be energetic, especially with a parent. Steer clear of controversial subjects, at least for today. It’s a work hard/party hard day!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you’re speaking with vigour and making a strong impression on others. You know what you want to get done. and you’re alert and mentally sharp! Trust your moneymaking ideas even though someone older (or a financial expert) might discourage you. Short trips will please.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Mars, which gives you strong emotional and physical health. Keep your eyes open for ways to improve your home or get richer. You will also be powerful in financial discussions, especially because group dynamics will be supportive to you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the Sun is lined up with Mercury in your sign, which makes you an effective communicator. You’ll be keen to talk to many people. You will also be interested in initiating and starting things. This is a strong way to begin your week because you’re motivated to get things done!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

When dealing with friends, groups and organizations, you might take on a leadership role today or steer things in a new direction. Be patient with kids today. Likewise, be patient with romantic partners. (This is a great day to shop for wardrobe items for yourself.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Do be aware that some people might know details about your private life today (in case you have to do some damage control). Meanwhile, others might see you as aggressive or bossy. (Really?) Certainly, you’re not afraid to take charge, which is why you’ll be confident and direct talking to groups and friends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re high viz. today! People notice that you’re willing to speak up and state your opinions. You’ll be strong when talking to partners and close friends as well. No surprisingly, you can expect opposition when it comes to controversial subjects. Easy does it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Disputes about financial matters, shared responsibilities, inheritances and shared property might arise today. If so, you’re in an advantageous position because you are strong, compelling and yet, diplomatic. (You will probably get what you want.) You will also work hard to improve your home and your job.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be prepared to be conciliatory when dealing with others today, especially because a partner or close friend might be feisty and opinionated! Nevertheless, you have strong opinions as well, especially if you’re discussing shared property or shared responsibilities. Meanwhile, travel for pleasure appeals!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Fran Drescher (1957) shares your birthday today. You are charming, insightful and knowledgeable. You will fight to reveal the truth about injustice. This is a slower paced, laid-back year. Take time to rejuvenate yourself. Focus on your needs and partnerships. Make sure you are with people who have your best interests at heart.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

There are certain tensions around you and although they might not be directed towards you, the likelihood is that you will feel their influence plenty.

You are also going through quite a sensual period so why not mix the two and aim at discovering new territories in your mind and new forces rather than dramatize all.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your love live is going to be quite challenging this Monday as it seems there are things you want to do but your partner might not be that eager to give you a green light for that.

Whether we are talking about couple ambitions or things that you want to do on your own, make sure you have a real agreement before anything.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

There might be some butterflies in your stomach that might be pushing you towards a certain person but maybe you shouldn’t let them act up entirely because who knows if they are right or wrong.

Maybe you miss enthusiasm and adrenaline but this is no reason to act up. Try especially not to complicate anyone’s lives but yours.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might want to position yourself differently this Monday as it seems that although you are feeling free and unrestricted, there might be some boundaries you really don’t want to go past.

No matter how enthusiastic or confident in your goals you will be, there are some things which won’t be tolerated, regardless of how you try to wrap them.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The current disposition seems to put a difficult to manage temptation in your hand and you might be prone to leave some of your responsibilities aside and maybe try and chase some sort of dream.

Whether it is related to personal life, especially love or just something you dream about doing in general, be careful what you give up for it.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are going to show yourself quite stubborn, I would dare to say revolted this Monday.

But while some natives might have a reason or two to behave like this, there are others who surely don’t try to protect anything or stand by a real goal and they are only acting up to get extra attention. Which group are you in?

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You seem to have adopted this attitude as if there are things others should do for you and it might do you more harm than good if you continue to behave like this.

You need to be harmonious in your interactions with people and not to let such views revealed. At the same time, the more cheerful you are, the more friends will be around you.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are trying to express exactly how unique you think you are but all you do is end up stuck because you don’t really seem to acknowledge what exactly makes those around you tick.

You are being preoccupied of looks instead of what you are doing or saying or maybe the other way around and this shows.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Try not to reveal to others exactly what is going on with you at the moment because you don’t really know how they are going to react and who they are going to speak to about your situation.

This is not a matter of who you trust more but a matter of needing to keep your mouth shut at the moment and of keeping things to yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your steps might cross with the steps of someone very special this Monday and who knows where this might take you.

But before making any scenarios be warned that things are going to be completely different from what you expect them to be, socializing with people you either never expected you’ll ever meet or who will propose very challenging opportunities.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Quite a calm beginning of the week so maybe you should take advantage of this peace and quiet for a while and maybe dedicate yourself to some artistic endeavors.

Other than that, don’t really expect your house chores, if any at the moment, to be done by someone else because it is not going to be the case and you still need to be responsible yourself.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might want to ponder a bit on the factors that are giving you a hard time and to try and eliminate them, at least from your thoughts.

The less you stress unnecessarily, the easier you will find even tasks that are more difficult in essence. You might also be up to take some initiative but who knows if you will be able to have your voice heard out.

30 September 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for September 30th, 2024 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 27 days old and 5.56% illuminated with a tilt of -20.787°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 404,313.46 km and the moon sign is Virgo.

The Moon phase for September 30th, 2024 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.

All Signs

This week begins with a strong, productive day. Many will be ambitious working on projects. Monday the 30th is also ORANGE SHIRT DAY, recognizing the abuse, and over 4,000 deaths that occurred at Canadian Residential schools. (It is formally known as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.) A shift of energy will make Tuesday somewhat fuzzy thinking and full of confusion. This in turn, leads into the Solar Eclipse on Wednesday. Every Solar Eclipse is a New Moon; and this particular one will be electrifying and give the answers to many of life’s questions. What are life’s questions? To go or to stay? To accept or reject? How long will I live? And of course, the classic – shaken or stirred?

Aries (March 21-April 19)

On Monday, you can get a lot done at home. (It will be especially fortuitous for those of you who work from home.) Either way, you will roll up your sleeves and get down to it, perhaps even shoving furniture around. On Wednesday, the Solar Eclipse will be directly opposite your sign, which means you will have an opportunity to discover new truths about your closest relationships – partners, close friends and spouses. This is an opportunity not to be ignored! In a relationship that is happy, you will be as good for your partner as he or she is for you. When it comes to dealing with those who are close to you – happy is good.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

On Monday you will be forceful in all your communications with others. This will make you effective if you’re doing public speaking or involved in sales, marketing, teaching, acting or writing. You will say what you mean and mean what you say! You will also be very careful about what you say because you will want to get things right. On Wednesday, the Solar Eclipse might reveal answers related to your job, or your health. It might even reveal answers or better advice related to a pet. Whatever the case, the upshot will be that you will organize your world better.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

On Monday, you’re determined to work hard to earn money. (There’s no moss growing on you.) This is an indication that there’s a lot of cash flow and energy related to your earnings and how you spend money. However, even if you’re spending big, it will be on practical, reliable, long-lasting items because you will be thrifty and careful. (Oh yeah.) The Solar Eclipse this week might reveal some kind of romantic interest for you. You might see that someone really cares for you – or not. Or perhaps you will see that you really care for someone – or not. Other revelations that might occur could relate to your kids, the arts and whether or not you value your creative expression. You might also have a realization of how important it is to take a vacation and socialize in order to balance your work life.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will be focused, self-disciplined and proactive at the beginning of the week because Mars will be in your sign dancing with stern Saturn. This means you will put your comforts second to your ambition to get something done. You want results! In fact, whatever you do will impress bosses, parents and VIPs. Midweek, the Solar Eclipse will affect your home and family, which means you might have some revelations about how to make improvements at home. You might also see how to improve your relationship with a family member, especially a parent. If you can see these things, your family relationships will improve. No question.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

On Monday, you’re ready to work hard and give something all you’ve got. In particular, you want to solidify things at home so that they’re running the way you want them to, in terms of being practical as well as pleasing to the eye. (Your home is your castle.) This might include securing things for someone older in the family, perhaps a parent. Pay attention to everything you do this week because the Solar Eclipse in the middle of the week is a slightly accident-prone influence for you. However, certain things about your daily world will be revealed to you in a way that is meaningful. Ben Franklin said, “Time is the stuff life is made of.” This realization will help you make decisions about how you want to live, i.e. how you choose to use your time.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It’s time to rouse the troops and set them marching! Use your energy to encourage friends and groups to help you achieve your goals and get something done. Someone older might be part of the picture, especially if they have street savvy or experience. The Solar Eclipse this week might reveal new approaches to how you make money or how you use your money and assets. Something favourable might impact your earnings. Whatever happens could help you to make careful, practical, happy plans for the future. With the support of others, it’s all coming together now, which is why you look good!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have high hopes for getting something done now — and you will do so because your determination, motivation and drive will make it happen. In fact, this ambitious energy will attract money to you or open doors so that you can increase your income and assets. You might get a raise. Meanwhile, the Solar Eclipse this week is taking place in your sign, which means something will change for you. You might see new possibilities, new avenues, new opportunities or new ways of looking at things – including your image and how you interact with others. You might choose a new game face because you hold all the cards right now.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You find it easy to be charming and diplomatic this week because fair Venus is in your sign. (Incidentally, this is an excellent time to shop for wardrobe goodies because you will like what you see in the mirror.) Meanwhile, this is an excellent time to make travel plans for future vacations as well as plans related to publishing, medicine, the law and higher education. The Solar Eclipse on Wednesday is powerful, and might reveal aspects of yourself that you have been hiding, ignoring or denying. It might also reveal answers you might have about your own spiritual beliefs or your inner world. This could be a time when profound answers are revealed to you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The beginning of this week is an excellent time to get your financial ducks in a row. Figure out what you owe and what you own. Make a plan to reduce debt. Check out inheritances, wills, estates, taxes and debt. US Pres. Eisenhower, who was a five-star general said, “In preparing for battle, I’ve always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” This is what happens when you take a look at your financial situation. Information is power, especially when it’s about your money and your assets. Meanwhile, midweek, the Solar Eclipse will reveal something about your friends. Your friends are important because they can shape your life. This is because they can affect your decision-making process, which in turn, creates your future.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have the willingness and patience to do difficult and exacting work on Monday. “Duty calls!” This means you will be able to work at a steady, controlled pace. Whatever you do, you will do carefully. You will want to be useful. However, you might seek to do this in conjunction with a close friend or partner because this way – you will get the most done. Tuesday is a confusing day leading up to the Solar Eclipse on Wednesday, which might reveal to you how you deal with authority figures – parents, bosses, teachers and the police. You might learn something that will help you be more confident and effective in the future.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’ll be PowerPoint on steroids on Monday because you’ll be gung-ho to work. Whatever you do – intellectual or physical work that requires attention to detail – will be done with precision and excellence. Make a point of using Monday to your best advantage. Glide through Tuesday and cope as best you can because the Solar Eclipse on Wednesday could reveal important answers to you. These answers might relate to further travel opportunities that will enrich your life or further education that would be good for you to pursue. It might also deal with legal, medical matters or something to do with publishing and the media?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Those of you in sports, or the performing arts, or in any craft or trade where you need to perfect or hone a technique – do be aware that Monday is the perfect day to practice something and get better and better. That’s because you will have the patience and willingness to persevere and keep plugging along even if you don’t see immediate rewards. You can definitely use this day to improve how you do something. Don’t miss this opportunity. Tuesday is a different matter. Take a break. The Solar Eclipse on Wednesday is an excellent time to take stock of your belongings and especially your debt or anything that you share with someone else. Get the full picture. Decide how to improve it.

It seems that this Sunday might require you to make some compromises, something that might come with a risk component attached to it as well.

For single natives, the area of focus might be the exactly dreaded love life while natives in families might have to worry more about the young people around them rather than of themselves.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This Sunday might come or should come with some lessons to learn for those natives whom have left their feelings and impulses run free in the past week.

Maybe it’s time to acknowledge the consequences of your actions and see what can be changed if those have affected someone you love. Don’t be afraid to make amends if this is the case.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You have your convictions and you won’t trade them for anything this Sunday, not even for peace and quiet in the family.

So what I would suggest is to be very careful with the arguments you are provoking around you and at the same time with the reactions of those around you. People might be too polite to tell it as it is but they have no remorse in blatantly avoiding and ignoring you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The current disposition will let you have your fun treat for the day but will then put you face to face with some interaction situations that might not exactly be your cup of tea.

And you will have to fight through all that because, with some people, you kind of wasted all your avoidance techniques and you need to finally confront them.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

If things would be as bad as you imagine them to be than you would be in a lot more trouble with everyone around you than you actually are.

Leave those close and in whom you trust show you exactly how things are and have patience in some regards. They can see things about you that you are too blinded by your own perceptions to see.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You either behave according to what you say or adapt your speech to your actions or else people are going to put a certain tag of irresponsibility on you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The current disposition prompts you to keep an eye on difficult situations and take challenges as they come.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might want to have fun today but this might interfere with what other plans those close to you might have with you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The walls are not getting tighter around you and neither are your plans, it might only be your pessimistic approaching speaking.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The stars are not going to allow to much free time this Sunday so don’t even think you will be able to isolate yourself or do something just for yourself.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Even if this is the weekend the less cheer you have about you and your energy levels are dropping vertiginously. So if you’ve planned a tiresome shopping raid you might want to postpone that for later.

This unless you have promised it to someone special in your life, like the little ones, in which case, you are better off respecting your promises.

Let’s Talk Witch – Making Wicca/Witchcraft a Part of Your Life c.2015

Making Wicca/Witchcraft a Part of Your Life

Keep in mind that you spent a year and a day studying and preparing to get to the point of becoming a Wiccan. Do not let that effort go to waste by not incorporating Wicca into your daily life. In Wicca, complicated Wiccan rituals are usually required only during Sabbats. In everyday life, being a Wiccan requires little but consistent effort. A good Wiccan tries to find a magical application to every routine thing they do. Wicca is a path of simultaneous empowerment and humility.

You are empowered as a Wiccan because you believe that many things in your life are under your control. You have the power to change them if you like. You can use your magic, spells and rituals to bring happiness into your life. You can also regularly perform protection spells to keep yourself from harm or healing spells on sick days.

However, remember that though you may have a lot of textbook and working Wiccan knowledge, you do not know everything. Do not stop learning about Wicca and growing spiritually. Keep an open mind to receive as much knowledge from the universe as you can. Wiccans can become set in their own comfort zone if they do not learn to accept new knowledge.

In your ordinary routine, stay mindful of the Rede and the threefold law. Remember, everything you do or say should have no intent of causing yourself or another being harm. Moreover, all your actions have consequences and as a Wiccan, you are fully responsible for them. Each act, good or bad, will find its way back to you three times over.

If you are planning to get married after you become a Wiccan, why not plan your wedding ceremony accordingly as a Wiccan rite of passage? Perform a Wiccan wedding or ‘handfasting’ with your coven family. Also, if you have a baby, have a wiccaning ceremony to put him under the protection of the God and Goddess. Observing rites of passage allows you to feel like part of a community greater than yourself.

As a Wiccan, respecting Nature becomes a part of your own innate nature. Recycling and low energy consumption, if they are not already, should become part of your routine as a Wiccan. Hobbies such as gardening and bird watching also are a good way of learning about the Natural world and connecting with it. Going on hiking trips or spending some time outdoors will help you immerse yourself in Nature. Remember, everything in the universe is a manifestation of the Divine.

The cyclical lunar patterns hold great significance in Wicca. Try to determine what effect lunar phases have on your life and work accordingly. Moreover, remember that each day and night is a gift from the God and Goddess. Try to consciously thank them and the elements every day.

The more you try to incorporate Wicca into your life, the more it will help you accomplish your goals. However, the catch is that you cannot be selfish. Remember, Wicca and Witchcraft are religions geared towards positivity in all respects. It may seem overwhelming at first, but the more regularly you practice it, the simpler it will get.

American Witchcraft Laws c.2015

American Witchcraft Laws

A reader writes in, “I notice that there are a lot of references made to the English Witchcraft Laws, but what about law in America? Didn’t the Salem witches in Massachusetts get burned at the stake because of laws against witchcraft?

The Salem witch trials were indeed held in Massachusetts. However, in 1692, when these trials took place, Massachusetts was not “American” at all. It was a British colony, and therefore fell under British rule and law.

In other words, the Salem Colony was not American in 1692, because “America” didn’t exist. In fact, it didn’t exist until about eighty years later. Also, no one has ever been burned at the stake for witchcraft in America. In Salem, a number of people were hanged, and one was pressed to death. It is unlikely that any of those people were actually practicing any sort of witchcraft (except possibly Tituba), and more likely that they were all just unfortunate victims of mass hysteria.

Now, that having been said, in some states, there are laws against fortunetelling, Tarot card reading, and other divinatory practices. These are not outlawed because of an injunction against witchcraft, but because of municipal leaders trying to protect gullible residents from being swindled by con artists. These ordinances are passed on local levels and are typically part of zoning regulations, but they’re not anti-witchcraft laws – they’re anti-fraud laws.

In addition, there have been cases in the United States where specific religious practices have been challenged in court.

In 2009, Jose Merced sued the city of Euless, Texas, when they told him he could no longer perform animal sacrifices as part of his religious practice. The city told him that “animal sacrifices jeopardize public health and violate its slaughterhouse and animal cruelty ordinances.” The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans said the Euless ordinance “placed a substantial burden on Merced’s free exercise of religion without advancing a compelling governmental interest.”

Again, this was not a specific injunction against witchcraft or religion. Because it was a specific religious practice, and the city couldn’t provide enough evidence to support their claim of it being a health issue, the court ruled in favor of Merced and his right to practice animal sacrifice.

In the 1980s, the District Court of Virginia court recognized witchcraft as a valid and legitimate religion, in the case of Dettmer v Landon, and this was upheld later on by a Federal court, determining that people who practice witchcraft as a religion are entitled to the same Constitutional protections as those who follow other belief systems.

Believe it or not, Pagans – and other practitioners of earth-based faiths – have the same rights as everyone else in this country. Learn about your rights as a parent, as an employee, and even as a member of the United States military:

  • Protect Your Legal Rights: Learn what you can do to reduce the chance that you’ll be a victim of religious discrimination.
  • Your Rights as a Pagan Parent: In the United States, we have the same rights as parents of any other religion. Learn how you can avoid discrimination in schools, simply by opening up the lines of communication.
  • Rights of Pagans in the Workplace: What rights do Pagans and Wiccans have in the workplace? Can your employer treat you differently just because you’re not part of a mainstream religious group?
  • Rights of Pagans in the Military: If you or someone you love is an active duty member of the military, you need to be aware of your rights as a Pagan or Wiccan soldier.

Spell For Saturday – Spiritual Cleansing: Maintaining Your Personal Energy and Your Homes Energy

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Spiritual Cleansing: Maintaining Your Personal Energy & Your Homes Energy

It is common knowledge that before performing any spell work it is important to set your space. This is most commonly done by cleansing yourself and your space, casting your protective “circle” and calling in the elements and spirits. 

Take preventative measures and create permanent sacred space in your home. Check out our spell to create a Sacred Space Herbal Blend.

Practitioners need to cleanse themselves to avoid carrying unwanted energy into their magical practice. It’s difficult to manifest money when you’re feeling stressed about that unpaid bill on your fridge. Being aware of the symptoms of energetic “clutter” can give you clues as to when you are overdue for a cleanse. 

Cleansing your environment is equally as important as cleansing yourself. It’s tough raising positive energy when there’s a pile of dirty clothes in your sacred space. Everything holds energy!

More importantly, the need to cleanse your energy and your space for everyday living is very real. We all have to function one way or another in order to survive in this society and that means we have to remain emotionally, spiritually and physically regulated. 

Cleansing Your Personal Energy

Simple cleansing rituals can be added into your routine by adding a little intention to an everyday occurrence. Add some extra power by stating your intention out loud or under your breath. 

To add another layer of correspondence perform your cleansing spells on a day that aligns with your intention. We suggest a Monday or a Saturday.

Monday is ruled by the moon which governs the sub-conscious, our shadow selves, and our intuition. This is an excellent day to work through heavy emotions, limiting beliefs and release what isn’t working. 

Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn. Saturn governs plans, our systems, order and time. This is a great day to break habits and clean up messes. 

Daily Cleansing Exercises 

Next time you wash your hands hold the intention that you are cleansing your personal energy of that which does not serve you in your minds eye. 

When you go to the washroom you can use it as an opportunity to tune into your body and focus on releasing any unwanted energy along with your bodily waste. 

When a gust of wind blows by you, say out-loud or under your breath all the different obstacles you wish to remove from your life. 

When you are walking or driving you can use that energy to leave behind that which no longer serves you. 

Bring a small cup of salt into the shower with you and use it to scrub every inch of your body stating that which you want to release. It’ll leave you feeling energetically cleansed while providing soft, well exfoliated skin. 

Next time you find yourself caught in the rain without an umbrella use it to wash off the energies that hold you back. 

These are a few examples of mundane acts we do every day or that are common in our lives. With a little intention we can turn them into on the go rituals that can greatly impact your personal energy. 

I find that the small, spontaneous rituals we perform in our every day lives have much greater effects than the grand rituals we perform.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the September 2024 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on September 29 has an illumination of 9%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On September 29 the Moon is 26.59 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.
