Moon Sign: *Cancer
* Cancer: Stimulates emotional rapport between people. Pinpoints need, supports growth and nurturance. Tends to domestic concerns.
Moon Phase: Second Quarter
Incense: Mulberry
Color: Crimson
Preparation:
At the time of the Full Moon, take your Book of Shadows (one that hasn’t been written in yet) and some incense (pennyroyal, anise or rue) outside.
Ritual:
Under the light of the Full Moon, draw a pentagram on the first page and under this write the following information: date, time, place, your magical name (and sigil if you have one), the moon’s phase and any other info you feel is important. Hold the book up to the Moon and say:
Here as the Full Moon shines upon me, Bless this Book I’ve made tonight. I humbly ask this of thee, Underneath your most sacred light.
The universe could be attempting to trap you into a void lunar twilight zone. This time it is the Moon in Gemini trine to Mars in Aquarius (3:43AM PST) that seems to gift you with a dose of physical, emotional and mental vitality. However, the rug is pulled out from under you as the void-of course lunar vibration begins simultaneously and then lasts for over 15+ hours until 7:01PM PST. It is always wise to count your blessings during a void Moon cycle and not overplay your hand. However, your abilities as a superb problem-solver and strategist may return with a burst of excitement when the Sun forms a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Pallas (7:52AM PST). Take a time-out from business as usual if possible. Visit a favorite bookstore or museum for a change of pace. Board, word and card games offer relaxation and can be an antidote for mid-week accumulated stress. The scene shifts to home and family interests once the Moon enters the sign of its natural abode — Cancer (7:01PM PST). Clean-up campaigns around your residence are back in style. Don’t be surprised if a wave of nostalgia washes over you when the Moon trines Neptune in water signs (10:37PM PST). Brooding over past failures, lost love, and things you cannot control are no-nos.

Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.
During this Moon phase, there is a slight slowing down of enthusiasm due to an emerging desire to produce tangible results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. There is still plenty of forward motion, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon phase favors gaining more information and the input of others to further your plans

Bear down and stay in command of all your faculties as the cosmos lowers the boom with a cavalcade of celestial seasonings. One minute after midnight (12:01AM PST), Mercury makes a caustic, 135-degree link to Jupiter. This puts communications and travel plans into temporary disarray while the Moon in Aquarius remains in void mode until 2:50AM PST. Once the Moon enters Pisces at 2:50AM PST, the monthly lunar union with dreamy Neptune is next on the agenda (5:21AM PST). Write down visions in a special notebook as dreams can often foretell the future. Watch out for over-optimism as Venus makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Jupiter (5:37AM PST). Logic and common sense come to the rescue as Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Saturn (10:28AM PST). Strive to add a sensitive and soothing touch to primary partnerships as Juno unites with Pluto at 10 degrees of Capricorn (2:18PM PST) while the monthly Moon-Chiron union takes place just a few minutes later (2:24PM PST). More creative, artistic and nurturing vibes can appear when the Moon in Pisces forms a supportive, 60-degree tie with Venus in Capricorn (3:23PM PST). Your ingenious mind may be working overtime this evening — thanks to an inspirational, 72-degree link from Mercury to Uranus (7:01PM PST). Interest grows concerning holistic healing modalities and alternative medical therapies as Jupiter squares Chiron from Gemini to Pisces (10:11PM PST). Meditate for peace of mind and emotional serenity.

You will need one onion, a black candle
Cleanse the onion in fresh water, consecrated by you for your purpose. During a waxing moon, preferably on a Monday (unless you need to do this sooner) otherwise, Monday for the moon’s emotions–Take the onion and light your candle. You can carve any protective symbols you wish on the onion to personalize it or leave it as it is. What you must remember is, the onion represents you.
As you sit in the light of your black candle, peel the onion, layer by layer, knowing that with each layer you peel, you remove one more layer of pain you hold within yourself, one more layer of hate, anger, rancor or greed.
After you have completed your task, and your onion is completely peeled, place the remains in a white bowl on your windowsill in the kitchen. Recognize that the Moon’s power will remove the negativity around you, (even if the light of the Moon is not visible, it’s the energy and thought that is important).
Once you have finished this spell, take a shower, or bath to cleanse and purify and complete your work. Now that you are now cleansed.
