Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Expect some financial surprises today. Everything is a bit up in the air with respect to cash flow, earnings as well as your possessions. For example, you might find money or you might lose money. Please be wise and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an exciting day for you with a fast tempo. All your communications with others will be stimulating and different. Thinking patterns are rapid and your intuition is active. Quite likely, you will have inventive, original ideas and suggestions. Why not write them down?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today your ruler Mercury is lined up with unpredictable Uranus, which will create a busy feeling within you. You might jump to conclusions. You might feel restless. Avoid rash behaviour. Be like the wise carpenter: Measure twice, cut once. Steady as she goes.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Parents should be extra vigilant about their kids today because this is an accident-prone day for their children. Meanwhile, an upset with a friend is likely. (This is also a rocky day for romance.) Social plans might change. Or possibly, a lovely invitation will come your way?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is not an ideal day to make your pitch to the boss or to ask for permission or approval for anything because your interactions with authority figures (parents, teachers or the police) are completely unpredictable. Things could go south in a New York minute. It’s a crapshoot.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you will might encounter new faces and see new places. You’re full of new, innovative ideas. Travel plans might suddenly change. Unexpected news about higher education, publishing and the media is likely. A surprise that is related to medicine and the law might also occur.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Double check issues related to banking, shared property, inheritances or insurance disputes because something unpredictable could impact these areas in your life. Be smart and guard your money and your possessions because you might encounter financial surprises.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with unpredictable Uranus. This could bring about some surprises when dealing with those who are closest to you – friends, partners and spouses. People might be rebellious? You might want more freedom? It’s a tricky day.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a restless day for you. Furthermore, unexpected events might throw you a curveball. Expect detours related to your work. Something unexpected might relate to your pet or even your health today. Be vigilant and ready to respond in a number of areas. Stay flexible. “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might encounter a new friend or someone who is unusual in some way today. Or possibly, a friend or a member of a group will do something that surprises you. You might learn new information about a group that you did not suspect. Keep your eyes open.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Relations with bosses, parents and the police are unpredictable today. For starters, something unexpected might take place at home. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. Get dressed.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might have to take a sudden trip today. Or possibly, a scheduled trip will be cancelled? Travel plans are unpredictable. Likewise legal and medical matters are up for grabs. Please note: Because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you, pay attention to everything you say and do.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Sean Bean (1959) shares your birthday today. You are high spirited with an excellent sense of humour. Your inner strength helps you overcome obstacles. You take your responsibilities seriously. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle for you. It’s time to take inventory and let go of people, places and whatever is no longer relevant in your life. Clear the decks for a new year next year!

A Thought for Today

Hoping you have a wonderful Saturday

Blessed be dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests.

April 16, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 5:30 PM to 9 PM EDT today (2:30 PM to 6 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Don’t get your belly in a rash today. The Full Moon is opposite your sign, which can create tension with partners and close friends. However, you are valid in wanting to feel free and demand the right to do your own thing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You feel very independent today because this particular Full Moon makes you want to call the shots at work, or with anything to do with your health or dealing with a pet. You’re not being pushy; you just want to be in charge of your own life. And why not?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you might be dealing with issues about romance, or recent challenges related to your kids, or possibly, something to do with a social outing or a vacation. Whatever the case, you will find that the problems that have been building up in these areas will diminish by nightfall. Cooperation will be easy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It has been challenging dealing with parents and bosses in the last few days. However, as the Full Moon peaks today, it’s time to leave behind controlling people or compulsive habits and replace them with cooperation and teamwork. Start to steer your own destiny.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today’s Full Moon can be a breakthrough for many of you regarding future travel decisions or something to do with the law, medicine and higher education. In addition, you will feel more assertive and confident in your daily communications with everyone, especially siblings, relatives and neighbours.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Financial matters concerning cash flow, earnings, inheritances, debt, insurance issues and taxes will come to some kind of culmination today. This will lead to clarity and some decisive choices that will boost your confidence and clarify your direction. Yes!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. This will tend to bring issues with those who are closest to you to a head. However, it will also give you the strength to resist controlling people and think for yourself. It’s time to call your own shots. What’s it going to be?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Health issues as well as matters related to a pet or your job are now coming to some kind of fruition. This means you will let go of what has been controlling you so that you have the freedom to pursue your own choices. This is so liberating!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Romantic issues as well as matters related to your kids have been a challenge recently. Others have felt challenged in sports or something to do with the arts and the entertainment world. Today’s Full Moon will release you in some way and help you break through these obstacles.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might feel caught between the demands of home and family and the demands of your career or your job today because of the Full Moon energy. Whatever happens, you cannot ignore what’s happening with home and family. (But you will feel liberated.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

From today onwards, you will feel more empowered in your daily communications with others. You’re ready to make your own plans and learn new things. It’s time to step up to the plate.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Financial matters have been challenging – no question. At times, you have wondered if the light at the end of the tunnel is a train. After today’s Full Moon, you will feel more confident and more secure about your finances. That’s a relief.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) shares your birthday today. You are friendly and sociable because you have a positive view of life. You are high spirited with a quirky sense of humour. You often resist routine. This is a wonderful year because you will get recognition for your past efforts. Expect a promotion, acknowledgement and the spotlight. You might also have increased leadership.

Scientists Come Up with Fresh Take on Moon Mystery

A very interesting article about the Moon’s surface and interior many, many millions of years ago.

https://share.newsbreak.com/urkkhkcj

April 15, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols’ Daily Horoscopes 

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign building to the Full Moon tomorrow. This could trigger tensions between you and close friends and partners. Fortunately, although problems increase as every Full Moon approaches – after it peaks, they diminish or disappear.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

As we approach tomorrow’s Full Moon, you might find it increasingly difficult dealing with coworkers. You might also be at odds with someone about a pet. Or you might feel increasing concerns about your health. This will all fade by Sunday.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Romantic partners must be patient with each other today; and likewise, parents must be patient with their kids because there is a buildup of energy happening today before tomorrow’s Full Moon that can create anxiety in everyone. Stay chill.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Moon is your ruler, which means you definitely feel the Full Moon. Tomorrow’s Full Moon will be a bit challenging because it is at odds with your sign. After it peaks, things will be easier. But in the meantime, today, be patient with others, especially parents and bosses and authority figures.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful today because this is an accident-prone day for you. We’re talking physical accidents as well as verbal accidents. (“Did I just say that?”) Therefore, go slowly and think before you say or do anything. Be cautious.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might find that financial matters are coming to a head. It could create a bit of angst for you. It’s encouraging to know that after the Full Moon peaks tomorrow, these problems will diminish and possibly, even disappear! (This includes worrying about dealing with something that you own.) Relax.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tomorrow the only Full Moon in your sign all year will take place, which is why you feel some buildup of energy or anxiety within you today. (It’s simply heightened emotions.) Therefore, do what you can to remain calm and grounded. By Sunday, everything will feel much better.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you have to be patient with coworkers, as well as yourself, because of the buildup of energy before tomorrow’s Full Moon. This buildup of energy might create a situation dealing with a pet, or perhaps something related to your health. Everything will improve after the Full Moon peaks tomorrow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Parents should know that this is a mildly accident-prone day for their kids so please keep an eye on them. That’s because there is a buildup of energy today before tomorrow’s Full Moon. You might sense that people are over animated in social situations. Easy does it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Tomorrow the Full Moon will take place at the top of your chart. This is the only time all year this can happen. This is why today you might have difficulty dealing with bosses, parents, teachers and the police. Everything is a bit tense. Relax. Go with the flow. Things will be much better by Sunday.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because today is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign due to the buildup of the energy before tomorrow’s Full Moon. Do not be hasty. Think twice before endorsing unusual belief systems and theories. Before you agree to what someone else believes, do your own thinking or research about the subject.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Financial matters might be challenging today, especially regarding other people’s money or the responsibility you have for someone else. (This includes wills, inheritances, bills, taxes and shared property.) By Sunday, you will have more clarity in these issues – one hopes.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Maisie Williams (1997) shares your birthday today. You are a goal-oriented person with a strong sense of ethics, who likes to be appreciated. Fairness and justice are important to you. This year is a time of reflection and learning for you. You might explore or renew your spiritual or religious beliefs. This year will become more exciting as it goes along.

 

April 15, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From Moongiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Visit the April 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on April 15 has an illumination of 98%. 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 April 15 the Moon is 13.37 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon.

Spell for Today – A Spell to Request Peace in the World

 A Spell to Request Peace in the World

This can be done at any time, there is so much civil strife and uneasiness that people must remember to ask for peace.

Burn jasmine incense and light a blue candle. Chant:

We strive toward Spirit again and again,
With faltering steps, unsure of the way.
Open the gates of enlightenment.
Make for us a new day
Of karmic purpose and goal,
A path to a new Earth soul.

Sit quietly visualizing a blue cloud of healing and peace slowly covering the Earth. If you have a specific area, work on mentally permeating that area with the blue cloud. Send out vibrations of love, understanding, cooperation, and peace. Do not visualize how this is to be done, just that it will. Follow the blue cloud of peace with a pink fog of universal love. Say:

Let there be peace among all lands.
Let there be harmony among all peoples.
Cosmic love enters every heart and mind.
All strife is replaced by peace.
By the powers of the Supreme Creator within me,
It is so!

April 14, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols’ Daily Horoscopes

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 2 PM to 5 PM EDT today (11 AM to 2 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Guard against a tendency to be nitpicking today, especially at work. Or you might be this way when dealing with a pet or with issues related to your health. Instead, decide to go with the flow and let it be. Sometimes perfection is overrated.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This can be a creative, fun-loving day unless you decide to fine-tune everything to a point where you have taken the joy out of something. Don’t do this. Let the chips fall where they may because in all likelihood, things will turn out just fine. Relax.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

In order to keep the peace at home, or when talking to family members today, your best option is to go along to get along. Of course, with your fast-moving mind, you see better options. But maybe others don’t want to hear of these possibilities. Keep it simple.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

When talking to others today, you might insist on something being correct, perhaps even correcting someone’s grammar? (People love that.) Keep the spirit and general intent of what someone means in mind and don’t get hung up with the details.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

People are never casual about money; and even though you are a very generous sign, you’re not casual about money, either. However, if you become a stickler today about financial matters or perhaps something that you own, someone else might be annoyed. It happens.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be patient talking to partners and close friends today because your penchant for getting things correct and observing little errors or seeing “what’s wrong with this picture” might hurt someone close to you. Relationships with others will be much better if you cut them some slack. Ya think?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

More than any other sign, you are affected by your surroundings. Lighting, colours, smells – they affect you. Today you might feel a bit uncomfortable or critical about something that is bothering you. This might be external; it might be internal. Fortunately, it’s brief. Relax.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It’s easy to be critical of others, not only our enemies but also our friends. Naturally, this means we are looking at the world with a “critical eye”, which means we’re coming from a point of criticism. It’s a choice. The flipside is you could come from a point of admiration. Feels better!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you might feel that someone is raining on your parade, especially someone in a position of authority like the police, a boss, a parent or a teacher. Bummer. This can definitely dampen things. However, don’t let this affect you. It’s just for today.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might be discouraged by the news today or something in the media. Some of you will also be discouraged because a planned trip seems to be threatened or impossible. This can be disappointing. After the Full Moon on Saturday, things might change.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Financial matters and issues related to shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt might be discouraging today. Things are not the way you hoped they would be. Relax. Join the club – we number millions. In fact, your finances will improve!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Relations with partners and close friends might be stiff today because one of you is critical of the other. Well, if one is critical, then the other will be critical, creating a vicious cycle. The secret is this cycle is easily broken by offering a complement. Voila!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Peter Capaldi (1958) shares your birthday today. You are positive, courageous and ready to take the bull by the horns. Nevertheless, you are also gracious and charming and playful. You have a strong spiritual side. This year is about service to others, taking good care of yourself, and your responsibilities to family. You might want to explore the arts or the possibility of a makeover.

April 14, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From Moongiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Visit the April 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on April 14 has an illumination of 93%. 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 April 14 the Moon is 12.33 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.

The 8 Lunar Phases

There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

Spell for Today – Dragon Prosperity

 

The dragon is a fantastic beast that appears in almost every mythological tradition throughout the world. Often depicted as a mix of several differen creatures, it represents the four elements of life: air, fire, water, and earth. The dragon has the wings of a bird and is covered with the scales of a fish or snake. It is capable of breathing fire, and usually guards a horde of treasure deep within the earth. In pre-Christian Europe and the Far East, the dragon was seen a symbol of power, virility, and superhuman strength, and was considered to be a friend of mankind.

In magick, the dragon is wholly beneficent and is seen as the manifestation of life-giving celestial power, and has the attributes of both the sun and moon, masculine and feminine, good and evil sides of nature.

The dragon and serpent are usually interchangeable as representations of the unmanifest and the creation of form and matter. The dragon represents the highest spiritual power, the supernatural, and the spirit of change. When you align your forces with those of the dragon, you gain strength and power. Its magick can help you overcome negative thoughts and it can teach you how to live abundantly.

 

Dragon Prosperity Spell

 

This spell is designed to create prosperity. It works best if you have a job and are looking for a pay raise or bonus.

Items needed:
One large green pillar candle, dragon’s blood incense, incense burner and charcoal, dragon prosperity oil, a green silk pouch, five new coins (a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and half-dollar), and an altar or small table.

 

Dragon’s Blood Incense Recipe

To make dragon’s blood incense, mix 1/2 tsp. dragon’s blood resin with 1/2 tsp. allspice, 1/2 tsp myrrh resin, 1/2 tsp. dried orange peel, 1/2 tsp. sandalwood powder.
To the mixture add 3-drops cinnamon oil, and 3 drops orange spice oil.

 

Dragon’s Prosperity Oil

To make dragon prosperity oil, in a small bottle mix 5 drops cinnamon oil with 3 drops orange spice oil, and 2 drops sandalwood oil.

 

The first thing you will need to do is engrave the figure of a dragon on the candle. This can be easily done using awaters (the serpent), and the breath of life (the bird). Generally it is considered to be a ball point pen or small sculpting tool. The engraving does not have to be an elaborate work of art, just a simple outline will do.

 

Begin on the night of the new moon. Place the dragon candle on your altar with the incense burner in front of it. Place the coins on the left side of the candle and the silk pouch on the right side.

 

Light the green candle and charcoal. When the coal is glowing red, sprinkle some incense on it. Pick up the penny, hold it tightly, close your eyes and visualize the dragon in his cave. See his treasure and all the wealth he guards. In your mind’s eye, slowly approach the dragon. Show the dragon your coin. Then, with great respect, ask the dragon to expand your wealth as you say:

 

O great dragon of wealth and power,
I greet thee in this sacred hour.
Great good fortune on me now shower.
That my prosperity shall blossom and flower.

 

Stay with the dragon for a short time. Listen to what he says, and take heed of his advice. When the dragon begins to fade, leave his cave and return to the present. Place the penny in the green silk pouch. Thank the dragon by saying:

 

I thank thee great dragon of power and might
For granting my wishes on this night.

 

Leave the candle to burn for four hours and then snuff it out. Repeat this spell every night until all of the coins have been placed in the green pouch. When the last coin has been placed in the pouch, allow the candle to completely burn out. The rite is then complete.
