What is Smudge? c. 2011

Smudge sticks are tied dried bundle of herbs that are lit at one end. The ensuing smoke is then directed towards whatever is to be empowered, cleansed or released into the cosmos. Large dried leaves can also be burned without charcoal in its abalone shell with holes in the base or in a flat clay dish.

Smudge stick do not burn for as long as herbs on charcoal, but this can be ideal for a shorter spell. Strictly, incense contains resin and is usually burned on charcoal. In practice the overlap between incense and smudge is considerable and incense can be cast on fires and some pure smudging herbs do need charcoal to burn.

The following herbs are good for smudging, whether you buy the sticks or leaves ready prepared or make your own sticks or leaf mix. Evergreen trees and bushy herbs are popularly used; rosebuds and lavender can be added to the center of it smudge stick, but generally smudge is not floral.

Spell for Wednesday – Three Times Three Spell

Three Times Three Spell

This is one of the best known binding spells. This three times three spell is to use on people who were corrupt in their ways. It has no negative consequence unless you think ill of the person while casting it.

“Wind in the north, run through the trees
Three times three, let them see, let them see
Sands of the east, rich soils beneath
Three times three, set them free, set them free
Fires in the south, awaken from sleep
Three times three, let them see, let them see
Water of the west, flow to the seas
Three times three, set them free, set them free.”

It works best if you have something representing that person, like a strand of their hair or a fingernail. The spell may not work instantly; you may have to repeat it for the person to see errors in their ways. Please be sure you’re not being hypocritical, because that may cause negative feedback.

22 August 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 22nd, 2024 is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 17.38 days old and 93.17% illuminated with a tilt of -70.006°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 360,632.03 km and the moon sign is Pisces.

The Moon phase for August 22nd, 2024 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping and important decisions from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM EDT today (2:30 PM to 4:30 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be careful about doing something spontaneously that could impact your finances. For example, you might want to buy something luxurious on the spur of the moment. Think twice before you do this. Be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert (see above).

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might want to help a friend today or you might want to do some volunteer work with a nonprofit group or a charitable organization. This is all well and good; however, be careful of impulsive decisions. Don’t agree to anything that makes you hesitant. Know what you’re doing.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Someone might appeal to you for help or assistance today, and you want to respond. Make sure this is something that you really want to do. Don’t react without thinking. You might also ask an authority figure for help. Think carefully before you do anything today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Travel for pleasure, especially to someplace luxurious, appeals to you today. This is why you might impulsively book a trip or agree to something like taking a course with someone. Make sure you have an option to be able to change your mind later. Happiness is having alternatives.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you might feel sympathetic to someone who is in need, which is why you might impulsively donate something, or give money, or be helpful in some way. Generosity is a good thing, especially if you are giving what is needed. Nevertheless, caution against knee-jerk reactions.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Don’t let a friend or partner talk you into something today by preying on your sympathies. You are someone who likes to be helpful, which is a good thing. However, sometimes someone can take advantage of this. Think carefully before you agree to do anything.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If you can help a coworker today, you will want to do so. Alternatively, you might be the person asking for a coworker to help you? This is all well and good; however, make sure you don’t regret a spontaneous decision. Think things through first.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

If you can help children today, by all means do so. However, think twice before making a spontaneous decision that involves an expensive social outing. This could be a vacation or you might simply spend too much on lunch? Don’t do anything you will regret later. Be smart.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A decision to help a family member might take place suddenly today. If the need is sudden, this explains your fast response. However, a sudden decision might also be an impulsive idea? Make sure that what you do gets the results you want. Think before you act.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you might be caught up in day dreams and a world of fantasy, which we all indulge in from time to time. However, this could lead to an impulsive decision that later makes you question what you were thinking? Make sure your decisions are based on solid reality.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be careful about impulse spending and sudden decisions about buying beautiful things for yourself and others. If your decision is wise, you’ll have no regrets later. That’s the key. How you spend your money today – will you regret this later?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with your ruler Neptune, which makes you feel sympathetic towards others. You want to be helpful if your help is needed. However, there is a quality of impulsiveness that is also present today. Keep your eyes open.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Carrie-Anne Moss (1967) shares your birthday today. You have a powerful, almost mysterious appeal to others about you, which is why you are noticed – you stand out. Yet, you don’t seek this. This is an exciting year because it has new beginnings and fresh adventures! What you do now will benefit your future.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Things are not going bad personally but maybe they could go even better so why not persevere in some of the ways you consider maybe there should be some movement.

Other than that, your energy levels are going towards zero so maybe you should take some measures in this direction as well and get some proper rest.

You can also read this special Aries Daily Horoscope.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This Wednesday you need to take a closer look to what is really going on in your life and to find ways to mitigate the risks you feel are coming ahead.

Maybe you feel some family members are drifting apart or maybe you feel you are not giving people as much attention as they would deserve. No matter what we are talking about, maybe it’s time to take some measures.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The current disposition is promoting a different love approach in your life and you are under the spell.

You seem to feel compelled to take some measures and to do some grand gesture either to put things in movement for a new relationship or to salvage something you feel is going wrong in your already existing relationship.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Maybe it won’t be such a bad idea for you to stay in your own routine this Wednesday and to make as few changes as you can.

This is not the best day to make any important decisions and you might find it quite easy to escape the responsibility of making them. However, remember that you can’t postpone them forever either.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You need to be very careful to how you are interacting with a person of the opposite sex who is very important for your career.

There might be things you risk saying and that won’t give out the best impression as well as other gestures that might seem out of placed and away from which you need to stand this Wednesday.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Don’t offend others because of their past but don’t flash yours either. Maybe it’s time for everyone to be quite diplomatic but secretive and just mind their own business.

Your tendency this Wednesday seems to be too open for the taste of some people and not everyone will have the same opinions as you so be prepared for criticism.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are dreading something and feel a bit stuck in your ways because of that but when challenged to explain what is going on with you, maybe you are not that articulate anymore.

So don’t complain and don’t put any ideas ahead of things you want to do or feelings just to keep you away from doing what you really want.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You should rely only on yourself today because although your partner or your close friend have the best intentions and are really there for you, maybe they won’t actually be able to support you up until the end and you don’t want to leave yourself uncovered.

So work harder than it is necessary just to have this peace of mind.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Sometimes it is best that we mind our own business and let others have their own way although we see this way as being wrong.

So maybe this is what you have to learn today, to stay in your own world and let others make and then learn from their mistakes. Sometimes you can’t prevent everything and things might get even worse if you tried to.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are craving freedom from who knows what, from the imaginary scenarios you are making about how stuck you are in some ways when in reality, it is only you who is keeping yourself from doing things you would actually enjoy.

So stop searching for the guilty ones and open your mind rather than complain all the time.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be careful to where you are using your energy this Wednesday or to put it more bluntly, where you are wasting it.

There are a million things that maybe you should be doing but it seems like you prefer to procrastinate and choose to do anything but what you know should be right to do. Set your priorities straight.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You need to gift something before you can receive something and it seems like this Wednesday will function exactly by this principle.

Other than that, you need to be very careful to the reactions of those around to your ideas because although they might say yes, you’ll see that their body language and other small details are actually showing them against.

Archangels Hamiel, Jeremiel, Raphael, and Raziel, I thank you for your Magical Divine energies and assistance with my spiritual sight now!

Victorious Horus, thank you for stationing your eye in front of my own, so that I may see multidimensionally like you!

Beloved Kuan Yin, I thank you for sending me energy from your third eye to my own so that I may see love in everything and everyone!

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you might be licking your wounds from yesterday’s challenges with others, which is why you feel the need to withdraw and seek out some privacy. This is probably a wise decision. Work alone or behind the scenes. However, if social invitations come your way – say yes!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

A friend or perhaps someone older or even a member of a group might say or do something that makes you feel diminished. They might be critical of you or question your suggestions. Don’t take this to heart. Decide quietly what you want to do on your own so that you feel in control of your world.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might be challenged when dealing with authority figures today – parents, bosses, VIPs and the police. Because of this, this is a poor day to ask for permission or approval. In fact, you might want to give these people a wide berth because they will discourage you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you might get tangled up or delayed because of rules, regulations and legal issues. People are more concerned about why you can’t do something as opposed to why you can. (It’s conservative, play-it-safe thinking.) It’s in your best interest to follow the rules today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

When you check out your debt today or have discussions with others about shared property, you might be discouraged. Don’t let this get you down. Approach things in smaller quantities, incrementally. For example, improve your life by 1% every day. Drip, drip, drip and soon a large pail is full.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Relations with partners and close friends are challenging today because negative thinking and discouragement are pervasive feelings that most people have. (“I’m navel lint.”) Don’t expect too much from others today. Go with the flow. This too, shall pass.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It might be challenging getting along with coworkers today; however, your greatest challenge will be relating to bosses and supervisors because people are inclined to be critical. Do what is expected of you. Get the job done. Stay positive within your own little world.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Children might be an increased responsibility today. Meanwhile, romantic couples might be discouraged because partners seem to be mean, critical or stingy. (That’s no fun.) Many people are uptight today because the Moon is lined up with Saturn. Relax.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Very likely, dealings with a parent or an older family member will discourage you today. You might have to deal with increased responsibilities. Or perhaps, someone is critical and difficult to deal with. We all have good days and bad days. Cope as best you can.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Don’t be critical of others today because this brings them down. Why do this? Of course, if you yourself feel down, it’s easy to fall into this trap of negative thinking. Don’t give in to worry mode today. “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money? Your finances might be discouraging today. (Join the club, we number millions.) Ironically, this month, money, favours and advantages might come to you. Expect a miracle.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with Saturn. The best way to deal with this is to work hard. Duty will be important. You might feel cautious, even inadequate but this is just a brief dark cloud on your horizon. Don’t give these negative feelings any fuel or strength. Things will turn out fine.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Amy Adams (1974) shares your birthday today. You are complex, self-contained and mysterious. You are also intelligent, humorous and caring. Take inventory of your life because it’s time to let go of people, places from the past of the held you back. This is the last year of a nine-year cycle. Clear the decks!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Trying to please everyone is going to prove a lot more tiresome than you’d imagined it to be, especially with people getting the hang of it and asking a lot more than expected.

So no matter how much you are in this helping mood, this will eventually get on your nerves. Try to get out of the situation diplomatically, rather than run out of it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You risk falling from one extreme to another if you keep listening to what everyone has to say and then try to follow their advice. You can’t please everyone at the same time and if you haven’t learned this yet, this Tuesday is going to point this as blatantly as it can be possible.

Be careful with those head aches as well as they are not taking you anywhere good.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Make sure you pay all your debt and review anything else you need to do as to be ready for the next couple of weeks.

You will feel a lot more reassured by doing this and you might also find out that there are some spare resources available, something you had no idea about and that you can use for a personal project or something similar.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Given that you are quite passionate about a certain subject this Tuesday, you are kind of set to overlook everything else and this is definitely not a good path to follow upon.

Other than that, as long as you try and manage to balance these two very important aspects of your life, you will probably be fine. You are stressing too much with unimportant aspects too.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The current disposition is helping you gain experience in a field you are actively interested in although you are not really aware of this.

You will eventually realize it and you will be happy for this happening to you. Just do your job and be there when other people, regardless of their field of work, ask for help or guidance.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You gain a lot of space in your relationship to pursue activities you considered relevant for you but maybe this is not actually as good as you’d imagined it to be.

Maybe you are compromising in the wrong area and maybe you should turn around before it is too late. Your health might suffer because of this too and this is definitely a bad signal.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might need to overcome some things this Tuesday and even go past something you’ve seen or done and just pretend it wasn’t there.

Otherwise you might, not only have to give some explanations but also you will find yourself in a situation hard to manage that didn’t involve you to begin with and away from which you could’ve gone.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You need to take it easier and perhaps you should listen to this before someone else tells you the same thing. It’s not easy to temper yourself but if you don’t do it now, you risk entering into some sensible situation.

The less you exhibit your thoughts to everyone, the less explanation you will have to give out eventually.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are very interested in finding new things but at the same time you are quite quick in forgetting them so what is the point of all that.

Also, you are a bit reluctant to the areas you don’t trust as much and would prefer to be shown only things you agree with. This isn’t too much illumination is it? Try to be more open.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might have to review the way you work this Tuesday, maybe involving a change of setting or the people you usually work with.

To begin with, this might scare you off a bit but eventually you will find it a lot easier to deal with this new situation than you find it in the usual setting. Enjoy this while it lasts because it is only temporary.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Make sure you recover anything you have lent as well as pay any debt you have outstanding to any official authorities because you definitely don’t want them chasing after you just because you forgot a small deadline.

Also be very careful with papers and rather act reluctant when it comes to signing anything than do something stupid.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will have to offer some sort of guidance or tuition to someone younger than you and although you might find it quite easy and to some point rewarding, you will also have a bit of trouble with your own controlling impulses and with the ambition you are putting in the whole endeavor.

So try to temper your expectations.

Spell for August Ful Moon – Full Sturgeon Moon Magic Ritual

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

Full Sturgeon Moon Magic Ritual (August)

Sturgeon Moon is the name of August’s Full Moon.🌕 Indigenous tribes of North America knew that in August, the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes were most readily caught. The sturgeon is a very large, prehistoric-looking fish that has changed very little in over 100 million years. It is truly a “living fossil.”

This Full Moon is also known as Red Moon

Having entered the second half of the year, we begin to notice things that need to be removed. In your life, what habit would you like to see go the way of the dinosaurs? What is hindering you or holding you back?

Here is a simple candle-burning ritual for banishing a bad habit from your life with Magic. 🕯️

How does this spell work?

The time of the Sturgeon Moon 🐟 is an ideal time for getting rid of “old dinosaurs” that continue to weigh you down. This powerful moon occurs towards the end of the Summer, signaling that all seasons must come to an end.

Black is a color that dissolves negative energies. The black candle 🖤 will assist you in truly getting rid of whatever is holding you back from becoming your best Self.

When you banish something from your life, it leaves a gap in your daily routine. It is therefore essential to fill the space left by the banished behavior with a conscious intention. The strength of the Full Moon 🌕 will lend power to a positive statement, to help give you the Will to create your new reality.

The best day for this ritual is a Tuesday but you can do this spell on any of the three nights in August when the Moon is full.

Before you begin, make sure you have set an intention for this ritual. It can be anything from quitting smoking / snacking / social media, to severing an unhealthy relationship. This is the time to be bold, clear, and strong in your determination.

Full Sturgeon Moon Magic Ritual

Recipe by Francisco Huanaco

Full Moon banishing ritual with the strength and magic of the Sturgeon Moon (August). This spell of positive witchcraft can help you get rid of a bad habit.

Ingredients

1 black candle of any size

Pen or pencil

Cauldron or fireproof container

2 strips of paper

Purifying incense (lavender, cinnamon, sage, palo santo, rosemary)

How to cast the spell

Light the candle and incense on your altar. Relax and take three deep breaths. As you breath out, see yourself expelling the negativity from your body and your space.

On a strip of paper, write down the habit you wish to break.

Make sure there’s an adult in the room for this part. Light the paper using the candle’s flame and quickly place it in your cauldron.

Watch the paper burn as you chant this spell:Full Sturgeon Moon Ritual of Magic

Take the second strip of paper, and write a new description of yourself in the present tense. For example, “I am a non-smoker.”

Say the statement three times. Paste the strip of paper on your book of shadows or your journal and leave it there.

Everyday until the next Full Moon, repeat the statement when you wake up, making eye contact with yourself in a mirror. This will strengthen the spell daily.

August 19, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 19th, 2024 is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.27 days old and 98.69% illuminated with a tilt of 92.136°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 365,016.07 km and the moon sign is Aquarius.

The Moon phase for August 19th, 2024 is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).

The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.

The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.

Moon Alert

The Full Moon in Aquarius peaks at 2:26 PM EDT today (11:26 AM PDT). Avoid shopping or important decisions from 2 PM to 7:30 PM EDT today (11 AM to 4:30 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves into Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today has its challenges. Parents should know this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Social situations might be strained. You want to break free from constraints. However, it will be wisest to sit this one out. Batten down the hatches.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a tough Full Moon-day! Family relationships, especially with parents as well bosses, will be tested. People will rebel against authority. Social situations are tricky. Therefore, handle everything with kid gloves today. Don’t make waves.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Practice patience to avoid arguments with others, especially daily contacts, siblings, relatives and neighbours. Be patient because people are on edge, ready to snap or make a big deal about something. Don’t throw your weight around.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today is not the day to make an issue about financial matters or anything to do with your possessions. Let things go. A year from now, will any of this matter? Relations with a friend or a member of a group might upset or surprise you. Stay chill.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Full Moon today is opposite your sign and it presents challenges. Issues with parents, bosses and authority figures might come to a head. You want the freedom to call your own shots. You certainly don’t want to be dictated to, especially about financial matters. (A smile can diffuse a lot of tension.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Don’t push things with parents, bosses and authority figures today because you’ll run up against a brick wall. Instead, be accommodating and postpone as much as possible for another day, especially issues where you need cooperation, permission or approval. Just coast today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Social situations as well as issues related to kids, finances and money are challenging today. That’s because the Full Moon and other planetary positions are difficult. Knowing this, pull back and be reasonable. However, if things are impossible – pack your bags.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don’t ask for permission or approval from authority figures, bosses, parents and the police today because people are at odds with each other. Things could blow up in your face. Knowing this ahead of time, keep your head down and your powder dry.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for you because feelings are running high with many people. Issues at work might also be challenging. The thing to do is to try to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Avoid rash decisions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Don’t get your belly in a rash about financial matters today or issues related to shared property or your possessions or anything that you own jointly with someone else. You might also be concerned about shared responsibilities. Whatever the case, stay chill and tackle these matters another day. Patience.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. It’s a particularly challenging time because other planetary factors are also tough today. Go gently when dealing with your kids or romantic partners. Most fights are just a clash of egos – but ego is pretty hard to ignore!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Take it easy when it comes to issues at work today, especially with coworkers because today’s Full Moon is challenging for everyone! Likewise, family members and something at home might also put you at odds with someone. Stay chill. The angst isn’t worth it.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Kyra Sedgwick (1965) shares your birthday today. You appear easy-going and smooth; however, beneath this mask is a serious person. You are careful about what you reveal. This year is a marvellous time for you because you will reap the benefits of your hard work! Expect a promotion. The limelight. An award or kudos. Bravo!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The current disposition is going to surface some thoughts you long had, maybe something you even forgot about and that will put you in a sensible position towards someone you only know as an acquaintance.

Make sure you don’t react on impulse and think twice what you are going to say to mend the situation if needed.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are trying to take everything as entertaining and only search for the fun in everything you have to do this Monday but perhaps this is not the best approach for a serious week.

Especially if you are supposed to lead some people, think of the example you are giving them and see whether you’d respect yourself after this.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are going to be quite sensible this beginning of the week, with a great focus on family members, especially young people around.

At some point you are probably exactly what they need, a bit of guidance and empathy but make sure you don’t turn this into more of a speech and patronizing attitude as this will not go down well.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You need to focus more on actual work rather than what you are passionate about and invest in reaching those deadlines rather than in rhetorical questions.

Pay attention to what is actually being said to you and follow the instructions provided rather than come up with your own better ideas, especially in strict work environments.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You will have to make up your mind quickly in regard to a purchase you might have in mind as time is ticking and you will either lose a great occasion or choose wrongfully if you take too much time to think and change your mind every second.

At the same time, don’t let yourself too influenced by those around as you will end up disappointed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You need to bear in mind that possibly the only confidantes you have are your partner or someone in your family.

No matter how good friends you are with someone, you never know when the wheel turns and you don’t want anything you ever said to weight against you exactly when you feel on top of everything.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The current disposition will probably put you face to face with an event you dreaded for some time now and it will be up to you to support yourself and find the means to get through this.

Your cries of help might not really be listened to but this is no reason to be demoralized but rather to grow stronger on the inside.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are projecting on your loved one something you wanted a long time ago and you don’t even realize it, furthermore can’t see that you, yourself have changed and now you are different.

Therefore the flames of conflict are set to show their teeth and for some natives, this fire might even be a purifying one, at least this time.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You need to leave your ambitions second place, stop chasing them blindly and just do the basic things you are supposed to do.

Fulfilling your tasks will get you one step closer to what you really want but without showing yourself opportunistic. Something that otherwise you risk doing, especially in front of someone important.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are trying to dedicate yourself to a personal endeavor this Monday but maybe you haven’t really chosen the right time.

It seems that you will also have a lot of extra work to do in the office so your focus will be a lot diminished when you get to your personal stuff. Don’t get too low because of that cause it is only natural.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You know your purpose and the way to reach your goals this Monday but maybe not everyone around you should know them too and maybe a bit of secrecy wouldn’t do you harm.

Other than that, you will see that some things around you are not as stable as you’d imagined them to be and perhaps you will thank yourself for not getting involved in that.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are too focused on the opinion others have about you that you completely forget about the impression you are actually giving them.

So instead of giving up and considering everyone had their own preconceived ideas, maybe take a closer look to how you behave and see whether you can do something to be regarded better.

What you’ll need

Focus

How to cast the spell

Think about the task you want to do, avoiding the words “I have to…” or “I should…”. These type of phrases imply that you have no choice, that you won’t do it unless you must. For example, never say to yourself: “I have to study”.

Say to yourself something like “I choose to study now”, or “I am ready to study” (replace with the task you are about to do). This way of thinking implies that you have control and it helps you avoid procrastination.

When you’re ready, count down in your head: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 — and do it!

Quit whatever it is you are doing and get to work on the task.

All Signs

Monday’s Full Moon is challenging for partnerships, especially if you’re in a toxic situation with a controlling or stagnant partner. Uranus could trigger rash actions. Generally, a serious decision should not be the result of a knee-jerk reaction. Here is advice I once heard at a lecture in 1981, in Portland, Oregon. “If you act with discipline, you will have no regrets. This means if you do something and you don’t regret it, then you acted with discipline. Or if you do something and you regret it, then you didn’t act with discipline. And if you don’t do something and you don’t regret it, then you acted with discipline. And if you don’t do something and you regret it, then you didn’t act with discipline.” For years, this has been a helpful litmus test for me when making decisions. Especially when buying bananas.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Full Moon will be challenging for you when it comes to romantic connections and relationships with your kids. In fact, this is an accident-prone time so be extra vigilant with your children to avoid mishaps. You must also be patient with them. (Remember that you are the adult and the role model for demonstrating tolerance and understanding.) This week also marks a shift in energy for you, which means in the next four weeks, you’re ready to work and bust your buns! You want to get as much done as possible, in an efficient, effective way. You might also improve your job or get a raise. Certainly, coworkers will be supportive. Even your health will be vigourous. Yay!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Many of you might feel tension and difficulties dealing with family members, especially parents or authority figures. Note: Monday’s Full Moon will bring situations to a head, especially related to old business. One example might be a quarrel because something isn’t finished or not done yet. In turn, this creates resentment and criticism. (Isn’t this fun?) Whatever the quarrel (and it’s likely about something from the past) – let it go. Ten years from now — how important will this be? Instead, you can look forward to four weeks of lighthearted fun, social outings, the enjoyment of sports events and fun activities with kids. It’s the truth!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

On Monday everyone faces a challenging Full Moon; and for Gemini, this includes an accident-prone influence. Therefore, from the moment you are reading these words, be extra cautious. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Don’t be hasty. Drive slowly and keep your eyes open because you are definitely in an accident-prone window. Even verbal gaffes will be embarrassing. The main thing is you want to protect your body. And your possessions. You will also notice a shift to home and family for the next four weeks as your interest in redecorating and entertaining at home grows. You might explore real-estate opportunities. Many of you will be more involved with a parent.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You save money and find bargains. You’re not casual about money. Right now, as Monday’s Full Moon approaches, you might be in an argument with someone about money, earnings, cash flow or something you own. Or perhaps, something you owe? Or it might be because someone has broken or harmed your possessions, or caused you to lose money. It’s sudden and you’re not happy. Cope with this as best you can because you are a reasonable, sensitive person. Meanwhile, fasten your seatbelt because in the next four weeks, the pace of your days will accelerate because you have places to go, things to do and people to see!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a tough time for friendships and partnerships. Monday’s Full Moon will bring things to a head, especially issues building up from the past. You might have to weigh the benefits and the disadvantages of staying in a relationship. You might want to strike a blow for freedom? “Enough is enough.” Before you make an important decision, please read the advice I shared in All Signs above. Meanwhile, you’re popular and enjoying the company of friends as well as interactions with groups. In the next four weeks, your focus on money, cash flow and your possessions will be stronger than usual. You will want to make what you own work for you in your own best interests. Natch!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a challenging time because issues from the past that have lingered with you are suddenly coming to the surface and can’t be ignored. They could relate to a relationship, your work, a pet, or even your health. Meanwhile, something unexpected, perhaps with another country or someone from a different culture might trigger things so that you feel you have to act. As I mentioned for Leo, please check out the advice I shared in All Signs above because it might help you. Fortunately, this week the Sun enters your sign to stay for four weeks and this will boost your confidence and your energy! It will attract people and favourable situations to you. It will be your turn to shine!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This might be a challenging time for you because, you are a people pleaser. You don’t like to rock the boat. You like harmony in your surroundings both physically and emotionally. The Full Moon on Monday is particularly challenging, which is why you might feel at odds with friends or groups. Something unexpected might happen that causes you to want to stop your interaction with someone or a group. Possibly, this pertains to difficulties in a romantic relationship? For some, it might even be challenges dealing with your kids. The unexpected urgency of something makes you want to act, even rashly. (This is why I shared the advice mentioned in All Signs above.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are a powerful sign. You’re determined and disciplined. Monday’s Full Moon will create tension between you and an authority figure (parents, bosses, VIPs or the police.) In fact, something unexpected, perhaps related to a friend or a partner, could trigger a sudden desire to make changes. At the very least, you’re going to clarify things and speak your mind. This could be about an ongoing problem (from your point of view) related to a boss or a parent. If possible, think about the ramifications of what you are about to do. Meanwhile, you’re heading into a popular four weeks ahead where everyone wants to see your face. Fun city!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Please be aware this is an accident-prone time for you. (Yikes!) Pay attention to everything you say as well as everything you do. Think before you speak, even though something unexpected might prompt you to act rashly. (Moi?) The thing is, you don’t want to say something you later regret. (See All Signs above.) In fact, this week the Sun moves to the top of your chart to stay for four weeks. This happens only once a year, and when it occurs, it casts you in a flattering spotlight, which makes you look great in everyone’s eyes. This is why people will ask you to take on increased responsibilities. They will admire you!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep an eye on money, cash flow and your possessions right now because Monday’s Full Moon will create some disruptions for you. It could challenge your responsibilities in a particular situation. It might relate to banking, shared property, insurance issues, and it will be something you did not expect that you have to deal with. Do not act rashly. Give everything a sober, second thought, which is your style. You’re prepared to work hard now and work smart. Meanwhile, beginning this week, travel beckons! If possible, get thee to an airport or start driving and watch those telephone poles go by because you want a change of scenery! Romance with someone different is in the picture. Woot!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Heads up because things are coming to a crescendo in some fashion in your world because Monday is a difficult Full Moon and it is the only Full Moon in your sign all year. You will definitely feel some kind of stress dealing with spouses, partners and close friends. And it might be because of something unexpected that suddenly occurs. It might even relate to an ex-partner. Could jealousy be a factor? Whatever the case, think before you act, even though you want to respond fast. Obviously, you don’t want to say or do anything that you will regret later. (See All Signs above.) Instead, channel your energy into issues related to taxes, debt, shared property, banking and the wealth or resources of your partner.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might feel unsettled. This could be due to your job, your health or a pet. Or perhaps you suspect that there is someone who is working against your best interests? (Sneaky and unsettling.) This might relate to unfinished business that’s been dragging on related to your work or even your health. You also have pressure right now dealing with family because increased chaos is a bit challenging. You might feel you’re not getting the support from a friend or partner that you wish. Whatever the case, resist knee-jerk reactions and doing something you might later regret. Be cool. In fact, partnerships will be your major focus in the next four weeks.
