Weekly Horoscope Sunday, April 10 to Saturday, April 16, 2022

All Signs

This week there is a major conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune. This is when two planets are in the same sign, at the same degree, at the same place and at the same time. (A bit of trivia: Jada Pinkett Smith has a Jupiter/Neptune conjunction in her chart.) The last time this particular conjunction in Pisces took place was on March 17, 1856, which was 166 years ago. It’s also interesting to note that was when Russia lost a religious war. Hmmm. What does this mean for the rest of us? Increased spiritual idealism, sensitivity and finely-tuned intuition. Marvelous creativity! But there will also be unrealistic expectations, and conspiracy theories, false news and disappointments where people are disillusioned. Needless to say, thousands, maybe millions, of young children will make the shattering discovery of who the tooth fairy is.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Perhaps more than any other sign, this major conjunction will boost your curiosity and appreciation of your spiritual world. Very possibly, something will happen that makes you more aware than ever about the interconnectedness of everything in the universe – and certainly, people. Nothing is individually separate. Everything is connected. You might find yourself in a situation where you are happy to be selfless and work for the benefit of someone else. For some reason, you might need to put your own wants and needs second to the wants and needs of another person. You won’t resent this. Au contraire! You will feel satisfied and rewarded. (Is that halo getting a bit snug?)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This rare conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune will take place in the part of your chart that is related to friendships, as well as your dealings with groups, clubs and organizations. You might find that you idealize a friend. Or you might be very grateful for your friends. You might also become committed to an organization with a mandate to help others because this compassionate ideology will appeal to you. This same part of your chart is also related to your ability to set future goals for yourself. This means you might find yourself modifying or changing your future goals to embrace your ideals in a more personally, rewarding way. (Mother Teresa had her Moon in Taurus.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This rare conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune will take place at the top of your chart this week. This is bound to affect your ideals and even your life direction. You will find gratifying if you have a chance to explore doing anything that will benefit others, especially those in need. You will want to be part of something bigger than yourself. You want to make a difference – even if it’s small. The point is it does make a difference. Because this conjunction is at the top of your chart your idealism will shine, and others will see that you are embracing these values. You will be admired by others. Someone might even approach you to ask for help.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This rare and unusual conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune will take place in the part of your chart that will inspire you to travel and do whatever you can to expand your horizons. You will see that travel will allow you to understand more about the world. In addition, it will connect you to a deeper part of yourself, which will make you feel more whole and more in touch with everything. You might also pursue idealistic philosophies and consciousness -expanding groups because you want to get in touch with higher truths – something meaningful. Someone from another culture might enter your world now. Hopefully, this is a beneficial contact. Nevertheless, be careful of over idealizing someone and not really seeing who they are.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Each of us will feel this rare conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune in a different way. For your sign, it will affect your financial scene, and especially how your finances interact with others – partners, close friends and anyone close to you. It will be easy for you to be generous, and give what you have to those in need. You won’t resent this. In fact, you will feel grateful that you’re in a position to be able to do this. In turn, because we know that everything in the universe is interconnected, then, most definitely – what goes around comes around! Therefore, you will also receive gifts, favours and a sense of abundance and self-respect because of your generosity to others.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

How very interesting! This rare conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune is taking place exactly opposite your sign, which means it will affect your relations with partners, spouses and close friends. Most likely, you will idealize someone close to you. You will certainly respect them more than usual. You will see their fine qualities and be happy to know that this excellent person is in your life. Having said that, this Jupiter/Neptune conjunction comes with rose-coloured glasses. Oh yeah. You might also feel disillusioned by someone close to and disappointed because you expected more. Work to find a middle ground that is realistic and yet, kind and compassionate.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are entering a lovely, dreamy, feel-good week! This is because the rare Jupiter/Neptune conjunction (the first that has occurred in 166 years) will affect your health, your job and your pet. Some of you might get a new pet and feel thrilled and lovey-dovey with your new pal. More likely, something will occur in your actual job or with work that you might consider doing that is humanitarian, or some kind of effort on your part that makes the world a better place. In turn, you will feel gratified and personally rewarded. With respect to your health, this is a tricky astrological influence because it could indicate an improvement in your well-being, or it could magnify something that is confusing. Oops.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Well, you are a Water Sign, and this rare and unusual conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces will definitely impact you, most likely in a favourable way. It will boost your good health and feelings of well-being. It will make you feel content and happy, and at the same time, more in touch with your creative potential. Your self-confidence will be strong. In fact, you will feel that you can do anything! Because Jupiter is associated with wealth, this is an excellent time for financial matters for your sign. Quite likely, you will work to make your surroundings more elegant and spend some money doing so. (“The colour is perfect! And definitely, the velvet.”) Children will be a source of joy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This week the rare conjunction of your ruler Jupiter with Neptune in the sign of Pisces will give you wonderful opportunities to improve your home. You will work to make it look more elegant and luxurious. You might want to entertain so that you can show off your clever ideas. Likewise, this will be an excellent week to pursue real-estate opportunities because they will almost surely bring you a profit now or in the future. This same influence will promote goodwill among your family members. In fact, relatives may want to help you or vice versa. You will be happy to help a family member who is in need of assistance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This rare conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune that takes place this week will be a wonderful boost to your overall sense of optimism. You will believe in yourself and your ability to do things. In fact, you will believe that nothing is impossible. This lovely influence will also improve dealings with daily contacts like neighbours, siblings and relatives. It will heighten your interest in learning and studying lofty ideas and philosophies, especially knowledge related to other cultures and different countries. Thank you! (English); Gracias! (Spanish); Merci! (French); Danke! (German); Arigatou! (Japanese); Tack (Swedish) and Dyakayu! (Ukrainian).

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Good news! This week the rare conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune takes place in your House of Earnings. Jupiter is the planet related to wealth and good fortune. Many of you will become richer or see ways to boost your income or get a better paying job. Some of you will perhaps buy something luxurious for yourself so that you “feel” richer. You might also see ways to use what you own to benefit others, especially someone in need. If so, this will be a gratifying and rewarding feeling for you. If you believe in past and future lives, then the only thing that you “take with you” after you die is your generosity. (Curious, when you think about it.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Jupiter and Neptune will line up perfectly this week in your sign. This is a rare and unusual event, which last occurred in 1856 – 166 years ago. This means for this entire week, you will feel blissful, peaceful and full of harmonious vibes filled with love, understanding and compassion for everyone. Humanitarian impulses and opportunities to be generous to others will present themselves to you, and in turn, if you act on these, you will feel personally rewarded and gratified. Teamwork will be easy. You will also find it easy to forgive those who have been petty and even harmful to you. (Actually, when you forgive your enemies, it drives them crazy.)

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Steer clear of power struggles today, especially with parents, bosses, teachers and the police. They will do you no good. You will not win. Instead, try to relax and go with the flow. Let things go. Don’t get your belly in a rash.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you might be doing a slow boil about something that rankles you; but you can’t speak up. (This is the worst, isn’t it?) You are probably wise to refrain from making a scene because things could get nasty today. Stay chill.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might find yourself at odds with a friend or a member of a group today. When it comes right down to it, this is really just a power struggle, isn’t it? You want your way; they want their way. But when the annals of history are written, will any of this make a difference?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Power struggles with bosses, parents and the police are likely today. Naturally, you have a choice. This doesn’t have to happen. Because these confrontations could be nasty (because they are power struggles), give them a wide berth! Run the other direction for your own peace of mind.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Lighten up about differences in religion and belief systems today because these will lead to unpleasant power struggles. Although we all have more in common than not — in other words, we all want to be happy and we don’t want to suffer — nevertheless, people do have different ideologies.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Quarrels about shared property, taxes, debt as well as shared responsibilities might erupt today. Very likely, these are basically struggles about power and control. Be smart and don’t get involved. Relax and instead – enjoy your day! Why not?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be patient with partners and close friends today because arguments might break out that are really based on ego battles. Not a pretty picture. They will do you no good because you like harmony in your surroundings. Even though you are a clever debater – you like to keep the peace.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Avoid arguments at work today because anger only makes everyone miserable. Possibly, some of you might get into an argument about a pet. Or it might even be something that relates to your health? Sometimes you feel you’re right and it matters. But what really matters is your own happiness. Stay chill.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Steer clear of arguments with your kids today. Once there is anger in the family, all family members suffer. Is this worth it? Life is short. Meanwhile, family is important; in fact, family is gold. Respect the peace and harmony of your family. Be forgiving and kind.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a classic day for a family argument, possibly with a parent or someone else. It might arise from a general discussion or it could relate to home repairs. More than most signs, you value family, tradition and security. Do what you can to keep the peace in your family. Harmony is invaluable.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are bright and clever, and today you might be tempted to get into an argument because someone says something that you know isn’t true. Or perhaps you disagree. Whatever the case, it will probably be a power struggle. Is it worth it to destroy everyone’s peaceful day? Not really.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Squabbles about money and possessions might ruin your day today. Why would you want to do that? Forget any power struggles that you encounter. Don’t take the bait. Put your own happiness first. Relax.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Charlie Hunnam (1980) shares your birthday today. You are goal oriented, you have a plan, you make lists, you want to achieve your objectives. Nevertheless, you are also playful and forever youthful! This year will be more quiet and slower paced. It’s the perfect year to focus on friendships and close relationships. Be willing to let others help you. Relax.

April 10, 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.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

National Unicorn Day – April 9, 2022 World (Holiday)

[This is posted a day early to give us all a chance to wear something Unicorn related. I am honored to have a Unicorn as a totem animal that has been with me through many lifetimes.]

National Unicorn Day on April 9 is a day to celebrate the most popular mythical creature ever. Why? Because if we don’t take time out to celebrate a beautiful, horned, rainbow–printed mythical creature then we’re most definitely missing a trick. The unicorn is a symbol of happiness, fantasy, and wonder. It’s an icon of color, of childlike splendor and magic. They often make appearances on birthday cakes and children’s clothing, and let’s be honest quite a lot of us adults still dig them too. National Unicorn Day is your chance to express some unicorn love, so show some color and delve into the magnificence of unicorns with us!

WHEN IS NATIONAL UNICORN DAY 2022?

We celebrate the myth and magic of unicorns on National Unicorn Day, which takes place on April 9 every year.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL UNICORN DAY

The unicorn is known as a creature of legend, one with a single large, spiraled and pointy horn which projects from its forehead. They were spotted in early Mesopotamian artwork and were often noted in myths and stories deriving from China, Greece, and India. In Greek mythology writers strongly believed that unicorns were running wild in a faraway distant realm. That distant realm was India and Greek physician Ctesias quoted in his book ‘‘On the Nature of Animals’’ that he believed India produced a one-horned horse. Some argued that he wasn’t seeing a unicorn, but instead was citing the Indian Rhinoceros. In Iran, unicorns were said to be found in Persepolis and the Hebrew Bible describes an animal called the ‘‘re’em’’ which some believe to be the unicorn.

The unicorn has always been depicted as a symbol of grace and purity, with its horn said to hold the power to cleanse poisonous water and to heal sickness. In medieval times, they would sell the tusks of the Narwhal whale and advertise it as a Unicorn horn.

The Celts, Romans, and Persians also described a white magical horse with a single horn. The creature was said to represent …

April 7 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols’ Daily Horoscopes 

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or major decisions from midnight until 12 noon EDT today (midnight until 9 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you will look around you to see what needs to be improved. You’re not concerned with being a carping critic; you’re concerned with making the situation better because you have a critical eye to see what needs to be changed or corrected in your environment. This is a good thing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your research abilities today are stellar! Use this opportunity to dig deep for answers to old questions or solutions to old problems. Because you might mentally isolate yourself today, you might feel a tad lonely. Hey, this is a brief dark cloud on your horizon.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might have a discussion with someone younger today, or perhaps a younger friend or someone in a group or organization. Very likely, this discussion will be about practical matters. Possibly, someone older or more experienced will be the teacher in this situation?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A conversation with a boss, parent or someone in a position of authority will be successful today because you are both concerned with making improvements and discussing long-range plans. These discussions won’t be frivolous but they don’t have to be dour either. Take a positive view of things.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You will find it easy to apply yourself to any kind of study today, which is why you might finish a paper or manuscript. You might also play the role of teacher to someone else or perhaps you are the student. You will definitely respect someone who has more experience than you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is an excellent day for practical discussions about shared property, taxes, insurance issues and anything that you own jointly with someone. Because you’re in a serious frame of mind, and you are patient, you will pay attention to details. This combo guarantees you’ll make good headway!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is an excellent day to clarify and explain issues to someone or to discuss any difficulties that might have come up in a relationship. It’s also a good day to sign contracts or enter into negotiations. However, be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert. (See above.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a great day for work discussions or practical discussions related to pets or your health. You’ll be focused and ready to give attention to detail. Meanwhile, someone older or more experienced might have helpful advice for you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Earlier in the week, you might have struggled with some obstacles or difficulties. Now your ideas might come to fruition or become a reality. Expect some creative, artistic and out-of-the-box solutions. (If you believe in fairies, clap your hands!)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Family discussions will be productive today. A parent or older family member might have practical suggestions or good advice for you. Fortunately, you’re in the mood to respect someone with more experience than you, which is why you will be open to listening to others. (You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will easily learn something new today because you have excellent concentration. It’s a good day to tackle mental tasks that require precise thinking, focus and attention to detail. (That’s because today you have mouse mind not eagle mind.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Financial discussions will go well today because you’re in a serious frame of mind and you won’t overlook details. You’re ready to listen to the advice of someone more experienced than you. If shopping, you will buy practical, long-lasting items. (Check Moon alert.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Clarke Peters (1952) shares your birthday today. You are a high energy person, ready to act. You are easy-going and have a warm heart. You are always creative and innovative. This year you might be in the spotlight for some reason because your hard work will pay off. You might get a promotion, an award or acknowledgement for your efforts.

April 7 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 Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

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

Today’s Waxing Crescent Phase

The Waxing Crescent on April 7 has an illumination of 34%. 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 7 the Moon is 5.8 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 to Stop a Person From Harming You

 

Spell to Stop a Person From Harming You

You will need:
White candle
Favorite incense
Brown paper
Lead pencil
Spoonful of used coffee grounds

Light a white candle and your favorite incense. Meditate a short while on the problem. Invoke the Spirits of Protection.

Take a piece of brown paper, like from a grocery bag, on it use a lead pencil to print and write the name of the offending person or people. If unknown people are involved, also print and write, ‘and all persons unknown that are causing harm to me!’

Cross off each line forcefully and say, forcefully:

I freeze name(s) to be bound by this spell,
unable to cause any more harm to (name(s)!
As I will, so mote it be!

Put a spoonful of used coffee grounds on the brown paper, fold it small, and place it in the freezer. Leave it until the problem is completely resolved. I wrap a rubber band, string, twist tie, or what have you, to keep the coffee grounds from falling out of the paper. You can also use a zip lock bag.

Be sure and burn the candle completely up. Don’t use that candle for a different purpose.

A Witch’s Lucky Candle Spell

This is as large as I could post this spell without the letter getting blurry so I suggest writing it in your Book of Shadows instead of printing it out.
