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 1 has an illumination of 2%. 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 1 the Moon is 28.08 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.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This morning you might be vaguely distracted by something. Or perhaps, something unexpected will occur and catch you off guard?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress, singer Zendaya (1996) shares your birthday today. You are practical, down-to-earth and a hard worker. You are tough and dedicated, but also charming and stylish. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to clear the decks and get rid of whatever is holding you back. Take inventory.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are going to be as moody as everyone keeps telling your sign is and you are probably going to show it in the wrong setting as well.

Meaning you will keep being unsatisfied and demanding for who knows what even in the context of you spending time with those dear to you, especially your partner if you are in a relationship.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is going to be an auspicious day in terms of education and learning new things, especially things that you are somewhat forced by a curriculum to learn.

So set your mind for work because it will be very focused and rapid. Don’t interrupt yourself with rhetorical questions and as well don’t stop in the middle to procrastinate.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A promising Sunday in terms of free time but as well in terms of time spent under the spotlight because chances are you will get a bit of both.

It is also a good time to create as much good image as you can but make sure you don’t build it on the flaws of those around or by criticizing because this won’t be regarded well.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are quite distracted this Sunday and I don’t really know whether it is because you are tired or because you don’t allow yourself to focus as you are not very interested in what you are doing.

If there are some chores you need to do, try to be responsible but if it’s something you chose to do, well, think twice why you chose it in the first place.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might want to give yourself extra time for activities this Sunday because you won’t really be in your best shape and you will be very easy to distract.

At the same time, the more stubborn you are and the more set you are on your own solutions, the harder you will find it to get to a good result, actually to any kind of result.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are making an effort to listen to others and this will probably turn to good results.

Whether you are doing this out of interest, because you feel you might get something from that mix or doing it just because you are in a good mood, it is good anyways to try and visit this side, not only the talking one as you usually do.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are under a strong tendency towards your family, therefore you tend to feel the most accomplished when you get to spend more time with them.

At the same time you are also quite sociable and get involved in all kinds of opportunities due to that. This means you will be set for quite a conflicted Sunday in terms of what you should choose.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Given the current disposition, do expect some minor changes that will affect where and how you focus your resources.

But on the other side, it only is Sunday so the stakes are not that big as to make you worry about it that much. Leave some time to see certain things how well or bad they go and then change direction.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It might be that you initially let yourself led by the wave of initiative and try to do even more than it is possible for you to accomplish at the moment and then find yourself disappointed by how things unraveled.

You also need attention, but those around you don’t seem very willing to give it to you and this is another aspect to affect you.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Love is in its right in your life and there is very little you can do to kick her out although it might not bring just milk and honey.

It is an auspicious period to meet people but at the same time you run the risk to be disappointed because you tend to put a lot more interest and hopes in that than you should at this stage.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Although you were probably expecting to use this day to rest and relax, some previous engagements and responsibilities are going to come all over you and it won’t be easy to respect everything you were expecting to do alongside with those.

Be flexible and engage family members in what you have to do, especially if they are somewhat involved anyways.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Since it’s Sunday why not make it all about fun and games, this meaning that you will search for all the possible ways to entertain you.

But given you have already experimented quite a few of the traditional ones, it is going to be very difficult to find something that engaging as to get you to be completely satisfied.

All Signs

This week has its challenges. One of them will be a sense of ennui or a feeling of general laziness. Be good to yourself. Don’t fight this influence. Cut yourself some slack. If you can get away with doing less – do less! If you have deadlines, pace yourself. On Labour Day, there’s a New Moon in Virgo; however, that day especially, it will be tough to get things done. Therefore – simplify! Simplify! Do yourself this favour. Take baby steps. (Remember the movie “What About Bob?”) Baby steps. By Thursday, the social energy will pick up a bit. However, romance will be confusing even more than usual (which is saying a lot). “You’re the reason I look down at my phone and smile. And then walk into a pole.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The New Moon is always an opportunity to make resolutions and set intentions. Each month, it occurs in a different sign, highlighting a different part of your chart, which in turn, gives you new areas to think about. This week the New Moon takes place on Monday, giving you opportunities to think how you can improve your health. You might approach this in a twofold way: What can you stop doing that is unhealthy? What can you start doing that is healthier? Likewise, how can you improve your job or how you do your job? Because your mind and your body are connected, remind yourself: “Today I am the youngest I will ever be.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The New Moon on Monday takes place in a part of your chart that relates to romance, creativity, children and leisure time: creation; procreation and recreation. What role does romance play in your life? Do you attract the wrong people? Is there a pattern? How would you finish the sentence “Every time I’m in a relationship____?” How can you improve your relationships with children? Do you give yourself enough leisure time and vacations? Do you respect your need for this in order to be productive and effective? Also, do you respect your creative abilities? We are all creative, and as children we love to draw, dance and sing. Why do we stop doing this as we age?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Monday’s New Moon is the perfect time to tackle (or plan) home improvements. Your home gives you a sense of security. It’s your safe refuge. Likewise, your relations with family members affect your attitudes and choices. In turn, these choices create your future. Is there something you can do to improve where you live? Now is the time to strategize how to begin to do this. Likewise, would a conversation with a family member improve family relationships? Might it be important for you to establish certain boundaries? These are all things to consider this week because of the opportunities of Monday’s New Moon.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Each month we have a New Moon, which is an opportunity to make resolutions. Furthermore, because the New Moon is in a different sign, we have chances to address different areas of our lives. The New Moon on Labor Day takes place in your Third House of communications, near relatives and daily routines. We are social creatures. We need to talk to others and be heard. We also need to hear what other people think and learn about what they’re doing. Do your attitudes cut off your communications? Acknowledge to yourself what you have privately decided not to discuss because this will be a revelation for you. When we don’t communicate to others, we are cutting ourselves off from the world.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The New Moon each month is a chance to set intentions. Furthermore, each month it occurs in a different sign, giving us different opportunities to improve our life. The New Moon on Labor Day takes place in your Money House giving you a chance to examine your attitudes about money. For example, if you unconsciously believe that money is the root of all evil, you won’t hold on to it for very long. How do you feel about investments, capitalism, credit, savings? Do you think “A penny earned is a penny saved?” Or are you casual about money – “Easy come, easy go?” Your attitude to money will affect how it accrues in your life and also how you handle it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week on Labor Day, we have a New Moon, giving us a chance to set intentions or make resolutions because it’s easier to begin things at the time of the New Moon. Furthermore, each month, the New Moon takes place in a different sign, which means we have fresh, new opportunities. Monday’s New Moon takes place in your sign! Take a realistic look in the mirror and see the image that you create on your world. We are judged instantly by the images that we create. What does your image say? Do you come across as open and friendly or reserved and guarded? Remember: You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

There’s a New Moon on Monday. Each month the New Moon is how we can introduce improvements in our life. Furthermore, each month, the New Moon is in a different sign, offering us different opportunities. This week’s New Moon takes place in a hidden part of your chart, which means it will highlight repressed feelings and secret emotions. These feelings can affect your health and your attitudes. Ask yourself what you do that is your most self-defeating behaviour? How do you undermine yourself? How do you fail to give yourself credit? By identifying these areas, you bring them out into the light of the day and weaken their hold on you. “Be gone!”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Every month, we have a New Moon, which is a chance for us to make resolutions. Each month it occurs in a different sign, giving us different opportunities. More specifically, it also means that these are the areas that will be easier for us to make some headway. This week the New Moon on Monday takes place in your House of Friendships. Examine the friendships you have in your life. Do these people promote your best interests or do they hold you back? Do you reach out to others or do you wait for them to make the first move? Your way of being will determine the kind of people who want to be with you – that’s a given. If you want more friends – be friendly!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

On Labor Day, we have a New Moon, which is your chance to make resolutions. Because the New Moon is in a different sign each month, it will give you different opportunities to initiate new beginnings. These are not just intellectual exercises. The physical energy of the universe will actually “help” you. This New Moon occurs at the top of your chart, which means it’s connected with your career and your attitude to authority. Very likely, your attitude to authority is related to your parents. In terms of you your career, where do you want to be one year from now? What new skills might you need? What changes do you have to make?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

On Monday, there’s a New Moon, which will be the best chance in the year for you to take stock of your education and ask yourself what further learning might enhance your life and improve your job. You might also consider how much you travel and how much you discover about the world. What further travel will enrich your life? If you can’t travel physically, you can be an armchair traveller. This is also a good time to examine your belief system. Do your spiritual beliefs give a deeper meaning to your life or do they hold you back in some way? Do your beliefs make you judgmental, which in turn, cuts you off from others? Or do they make you appreciate your world and how precious your life is?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This week the New Moon is your best chance all year to think about your responsibilities to others and how you handle shared property and shared resources. For example, what is your debt situation? Are you in over your head borrowing money on tomorrow? That can create a burden not only psychologically but it can almost feel physical. What can you do to reduce your debt? Small efforts on a regular basis will have an astounding impact over time. Do not underestimate this. This is a good time to take stock of what you own and what you owe. Don’t be like an ostrich with your head in the sand. Get the facts because information is empowering.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This week, the only New Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This means it’s your best opportunity to think about how you can improve your long term committed relationships – friendships and partnerships. Your attitude about relationships will colour the kind of people that you attract. For example, how would you finish this sentence: “Whenever I get involved in a relationship_____.” Generally, relationships mirror who we are. Anger attracts anger. Examine your relationships to learn what kind of unconscious messages you send out to others. If you believe people take advantage of you, these will be the people in your world.

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

Source: nineplanets.org

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

On this day, the moon is 27.74 days old and 3.06% illuminated with a tilt of -17.999°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 399,946.44 km and the moon sign is Leo.

The Moon phase for September 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.

Phase Details

Phase: Waning Crescent

Moon age: 27.74 days

Moon illumination: 3.06%

Moon tilt: -17.999°

Moon angle: 0.5

Moon distance: 399,946.44 km

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.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are enjoying a lot of popularity underneath the surface of what is going on in your life now and this tends to give you quite a convincing force with people around you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You don’t seem to get to a middle point with people in your family in respect to either just the plans for the day or some more important plans, like buying a very important item.

If you want your ideas to be recognized formally and to be given attention, maybe you need to make your research efforts more seen rather than just hope for the best.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You don’t seem to find pleasure in anything and although you might try a lot of activities and even join in the plans of those around, you still don’t find your place.

Spell for Thursday – A Spell to Release the Past

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

A Spell to Release the Past

Also known as the cord-cutting ritual, this spell helps release emotional, mental and spiritual ties that rob you of growth, peace and happiness. By using the power of your calm, clear mind and amplifying it, this spell helps end any unwanted relationships and ties in your life, leaving no harm behind if performed correctly. It doesn’t have to be directed towards another person – you can also release any part of your own energy that is ridden with doubt and darkness, such as harmful habits or negative beliefs.

The most important part of this sacred ritual is staying true to yourself. While you perform it, allow yourself to feel any feelings that come up in your heart, and allow the resulting energy to become the foundation of your work. If you wish, you can also call for help from any friendly spirits or deceased relatives (preferably those you worked with before). To perform this releasing spell, acquire the following items: Three candles: one red (representing your passion for life), one white (representing the purity of your intentions), and one blue (representing wisdom and calmness) A bundle of fresh basil A deep glass bowl filled with rain water (if you don’t have access to rain water, filtered water is a suitable alternative) This is how to perform the spell to cut cords and release your past: This ritual is best performed outdoors – however, if not possible, find a well-lit, quiet space. Light the candles – first, the white one , focusing on the divine pure light; then, the blue one, appreciating the wisdom of the universe; and finally, the red one, finding the passion within. Place basil in the bowl, and wash your face with the basil water. Clear your mind, focus and say the following: Cutting cords, releasing ties For my past, it’s just goodbyes Blow the candles and take as much time as you need to meditate and reflect on the ritual.

Thursday Source:  from FlyingTheHedge.com

Taking its name from the Norse god Thor, this is a great day to work magic regarding growth, expansion, prosperity, business, abundance, and success. See my prosperity candle magic spell.
Color: Royal blue, green, purple
Planet: Jupiter
Deities: Thor, Zeus, Jupiter, Juno
Crystals: Turquoise, amethyst, lapis lazuli
Herbs: Honeysuckle, oak, cinquefoil
Associations: Honor, loyalty, harvest, prosperity, abundance, wealth, healing

Thursday Source: whitewitchgrimoire.com

Planet: Jupiter
Colors: Blue and Metallic

Ahhh Jupiter, you giant dick. While he is the go-to for power, money and good fortune, he’s about the long game. Fast money? Nope. He will give you more of what you have, so if you’re broke, you may be even more impoverished if you use any of his influence. Be careful with them herbs. Looking for justice? Thursday. Signing contracts or making big money moves? Thursday. Abundance looks different to everyone, but this is the day of plenty….sometimes that is just plenty of what you already have man. I’m serious here. My money spells done in the past before I got my shit together created lasting wounds. Expansion is painful when it comes from a space of lack. I said “I need money! I am broke” and he said “Hold my beer you desperate witch” and then I cried. Great money day if you are attracting what you are, but not what you want. I speak from my own experience and yours may differ, but if your money spells have backfired, look at the day and associations. If you see anything, take note. Everyone is different but I am not even ashamed to say that it took me years to figure this one out for my own magic. Good day for court and child support I must say.

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.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is an excellent day for important family discussions. These might include talking about the division of labour or how to share expenses. Someone older, perhaps a parent, will have some input. Basically, you’re looking for ways to make things run more smoothly.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today your focus will be on learning practical matters and finding practical solutions to problems. You might hear some excellent advice from someone older or more experienced. Focus on mental work today because you won’t overlook details.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might have some solid, practical, moneymaking ideas today. Likewise, if you are shopping, you will only want to buy long-lasting, practical items. This is because you are in a sensible frame of mind and you don’t want to waste money. That’s smart.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with stern Saturn, which will help you to accept whatever duties and responsibilities you have. You’re willing to work and do what others expect of you. In fact, you’re willing to forgo pleasure for time-saving, practical results. Smart!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is an excellent day to research or study something, especially if you have to look behind the scenes for answers to problems. You will have the tenacity and perseverance necessary to do this task. Furthermore, you won’t overlook details. You’ll be like a dog with a bone.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A discussion with someone older or more experienced will benefit you today because very likely, this person will have practical advice for you. This person could be a friend or they could be a member of a group or an organization. (It never hurts to stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Discussions with parents, bosses and authority figures (including the police) today will be serious; however, there’s a good chance these discussions will benefit you. You might see practical solutions or better ways of doing something. You might even revise your goals or modify your life direction.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you have the ability to pay attention to detail and wade into the challenges of making travel plans, or changing travel plans, or learning something philosophical perhaps related to legal or medical matters. You’ll stick with the topic until you understand it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a good day for serious discussions about shared property, inheritances and how to divide or share something with someone else. You might want to know the facts about someone else’s wealth or their contribution to something. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to financial matters.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you have to go more than half way when dealing with others, which will require a little patience and tolerance on your part. However, you can do this, especially if others are observing your behaviour. (You like to look respectable.) Be gracious and charming.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You can get a lot done at work today because you will tackle mental problems with a practical frame of mind. For example, you will do your homework. You’ll read the small print. You’ll take things slowly and carefully so that you do it correctly. “Measure twice; cut once.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Children might be an increased responsibility for you today. Meanwhile, this is an excellent day to improve your skills in the arts, especially the performing arts, or anything to do with sports. Practice something until you can perfect your technique. It’s also a good day to teach children because you have the patience and the ability to do so.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Astronaut Chris Hadfield (1959) shares your birthday today. You are imaginative and not afraid to be unconventional. You have an analytical mind and are excellent at improvising. This is the end of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to take inventory of your life. Let go of anything that has been holding you back.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Given that you are trying as much as you can to fulfill your plans and also get some free time this Thursday, the whole day will probably fly by.

At the same time you are increasingly picky in terms of what you want to do with your spare time so you might end up with a lot of it on your hand but with few real ideas about what to do.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might want to steer clear from any confusion or lack of transparency today because there are the areas where most trouble is prone to appear.

Especially if we are talking about responsibilities you have in the office. At the same time you are quite sociable and it will be quite difficult to maintain this tight schedule and respect all that.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Quite a lovely atmosphere around you this Thursday and maybe you should make all efforts to keep it this way.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are going to need to partner up to get through all the work that is planned for you today, some that you already know and some that you will have the pleasure to discover along the way.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The current disposition might bring a bit of tension at home, some related to what you have been doing lately and the rest most likely due to you not having enough time to spend at home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It seems that you are quite emotional today and this will probably prevent you from being your usual self and at the same time leave you a bit baffled in the face of aversion.

You don’t really know how to react to rejection or to similar stuff and maybe you need a bit of guidance in that respect before you do anything.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will have to ward off some competition from around you this Thursday and although you usually meet no troubles in doing that, this time it might be different.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will discover this Thursday that you can get a lot of support from those around for your plans if you manage to convey the message properly to them.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

On one side you would prefer to have time for yourself and do something on your own, while on the other you are craving for human contact and looking quite jealous to those around you who are spending time with their partners or friends.

Spell For Wednesday – Tea Ceremony For Conscious Communication

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

Tea Ceremony For Conscious Communication

Mars is in Gemini. With this communicative air sign stationed in the planet associated with action, our words can become barbed. The impulse to speak before you think will be heightened under this astrological influence. We have a mindfulness practice that will help you avoid saying words you can’t take back. Grab your favourite mug and get ready to drink some delicious tea.

Mars relates to our drive and motivation. With Gemini’s influence, the urge to double and triple book ourselves may be heightened. We are prone to burn out under this astrological influence. It is time to strengthen our ability to say NO! A skill that is necessary in this world where we are pulled in a million different directions, now is the time to get comfortable with that word.

Only you are responsible for your energy, not that of anyone else’s. In part 2 of this spell we will walk you through how to build and activate a crystal grid that will help strengthen your communication. You can use them both separately or together for added strength.

TEA CEREMONY FOR CONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

Your favourite mug

Your go to tools to steep loose leaf tea (strainer, spoon, & saucer)

Temperance Loose Leaf Tea

Orris Root

Spearmint Leaves

A Charcoal Puck

A fire safe bowl filled with sand or salt to place your charcoal puck on

A cup of salt water

HOW TO PERFORM:

Before any magical practice it is necessary to cleanse your items and your space followed by creating sacred space.

To begin gather all of your materials. Light your charcoal and place it on a bed of sand or salt in a fire proof bowl. Grab roughly half a tablespoon of orris root and half a tablespoon of spearmint leaves. While holding them in your hands speak out loud your intention.

The intention we will be using throughout this spell is:

“With air on tongue and passion in mind

conscious communication I will always find”

Place your incense blend on your charcoal puck. Use this smoke to consecrate your tools that you will use to steep your tea. Collect as much smoke inside your mug as possible. While it’s still upside down trap the smoke in it by placing a plate over the mouth of your mug. Place your mug and plate down and visualize the mug filled with sweet words, positive talk and your ability to say no. Let the smoke sit in the cup for a minimum of 3 minutes.

Boil some water. If you have charged water like moon or sun water use that, but filtered tap water works just as well. Fill up your loose leaf strainer with the Temperance tea blend. Hold it between your hands and repeat your intention 3 times making sure to allow your breath to run over the tea.

Remove the plate from your cup and place your tea strainer inside. Pour the boiling water over your tea leaves and replace the lid. Allow it to steep for 3 minutes.

During these 3 minutes rinse out your mouth with salt water and think of a positive affirmation you’d like to say to yourself more often. I like to use “My words are magic” which reminds me that I have the power to manifest both the positive and the negative in my life with what I say.

Grab your spoon and your preferred sweetener and/or milk. Adding sweeteners will attract delightful energies to you. Adding milk and cream, whether plant based or animal based will attract earthly, stable energies to you.

Add your sweetener to your tea. Mix it into your tea using a clockwise motion, visualizing sweetness coming into your life. You can repeat your intention out loud or in your mind.

Add your milk to your tea. Mix it into your tea using the same motion but visualize stability in your life. Repeat your intention again.

Spend the next 10-15 minutes drinking your tea and visualizing your life moving forward communicating with clarity and intention. Visualize yourself saying no and honouring your time and your body. Finish up by closing your spell and dispose of your spell in an earth friendly manner.

You can repeat this spell as much as you like. We recommend repeating it on every new moon, or on every Wednesday which is associated with the planet mercury which governs communication.

29 August 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 29th, 2024 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 24.64 days old and 21.69% illuminated with a tilt of -38.674°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 389,430.66 km and the moon sign is Cancer.

The Moon phase for August 29th, 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.

Spell for Monday – Herbs of Communication Spell

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

Herbs of Communication Spell

This is one of my charms, easy to the herbs and cast I’ve listed are herbs you may have on your spice rack at home or if not they can be found in the local supermarket. Enjoy.

You will need the following items for this spell:

You use to comunicate with. Example : your mobile phone, home phone or even netbook or laptop.
A small bit of paper the size of a stamp.
A Pen
Dill
Oregano
Caraway

Casting Directions for ‘Herbs of Communication spell’

This isnt just a love spell, A good example of when I throw it was when I was waiting to hear about a project and that I was reckless with worry, everytime my mobile buzzed I would jump on it thinking it was a call to inform me that I had got it, I checked my emails twise a day, everyday. I waited and waited. I was going the way many girls go when they’ve been out on a few dates with someone they REALLY fancy and… not even so much as a like on Facebook or an email from him since and no explaination as to why he hasnt got in touch. I was like that over work. CALM DOWN! And do to whatever it is your obsessing about something none related. But rather than having any money, It was hard for me or a job at the time got me down. So I cast a spell. You need your comunication instrument or why not use more then one. Your phone or Notebook will do or use anything you desire. Write on the tiny piece of paper the initials of the person you need to call you or the name of this place if you are waiting for a phone call from to get work and dont know the name of the person who will ring you.Put this bit of paper beneath your telephone or laptop then slowly scatter the herbs in a clockwise direction around your phone.Picture that individual picking up their phone and texting phoning or calling your telephone or walking to your computer. What do you want this person do you just want them to see how you are with a friendly phone call or to say in their message to you? Consider it and concentrate. Say: Herbs or Mercury, speed to me the call I wish to receive or you may change the term call to text or email because we live in a busy modern world and texting has, in some instances replaced telephone calls and its some prefer comunicate. No worries. Leave your phone using the herbs scattered around it while you sleep, it to turn off not because of the spell but its good every time and concentrate on you. Not the person you need to call you or what results you want but you. Plus, getting facebook updates can be somewhat annoying when you are trying to get your forty winks! Turn the phone on in the morning. DO NOT ATTACH you’ll get your call and any feelings into the situation go on with your day/ text/ letter/ email. Ive tried this charm with friends I havnt heard from in years, Would – be employers and even men and It works. I get a response and I don’t call them I leave them to get in contact. Enjoy.

The Moon phase for August 27th, 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.
