Crescent Moon

(waning /4% of Full)

This is a time to rest, reevaluate and reflect, pulling back into yourself to reconnect with inner sources of strength. Now is not a time to initiate anything new. It’s a phase suited to spending time with friends and getting in touch with the “big picture.” A window of opportunity exists for seeing your life objectively and becoming aware of what is important to you. At this point, what are your dreams and aspirations? What larger goals can you aspire to that will bring vitality and excitement into your life? This is a time for resting and gaining inner strength to prepare for a new cycle.

Current Moon Phase for December 21 – Waning Gibbous

Gibbous Moon

(waning /75% illumination)

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

Current Moon Phase for Dec. 20th – Full Moon

Full Moon

(waning/80% illumination)

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, Dec. 12th

We feel more secure today as we stabilize recent gains and make concrete plans for the future. The Moon’s shift into sensible Taurus at 3:40 pm EST soothes our nerves. Fortunately, turning our dreams into reality is possible because optimistic Jupiter forms a harmonious trine with pragmatic Saturn, relieving the pressure that comes from frustration. It’s crucial to consider what we want to achieve now and set our intentions on reaching our goals.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You don’t have to take charge by acting in a dictatorial manner, even if you believe you know what needs to be done. Although you are a champion of choosing the fastest route to your destination, there are other ways to reach your goals today. Yours may be the best method for you, but it might not work as well for someone else. It’s better to give up control around the outer edges of your life now and let some things run their own course.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You should be able to accomplish your objectives today, but you might start out distracted by an inner conflict as you contemplate the best way to assert yourself in the current situation. You may struggle reining in your emotions this morning, but steadfast support from a close friend has a calming influence. Relationship dynamics improve as the day wears on, freeing you to find a sustainable pace at work. In the meantime, any movement is better than inaction even if you don’t see tangible results until later on.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s probably not a trivial issue if you’re concerned about your current obligations to coworkers. However, your mental gyrations might actually push you to a critical point as you turn your thoughts into effective action. You know that you shouldn’t let a crucial opportunity slip away now without making your move. Go forward with determination; your efforts will pay off in ways you can’t yet imagine.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your resolve deepens today and may turn into an obsession unless you’re able to put your goals into a healthier perspective. Fortunately, you seem to have a natural ability to know when to let go because your intuition is right on target now. Don’t waste energy second guessing your decisions. Overcome your insecurities and trust your judgment. If you keep your eyes on the prize, you’ll be amazed by the progress you make over time.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You must wield your power carefully because your actions have greater consequences now than you realize. However, it’s crucial to lead by example and not by intimidation. Use of force isn’t effective and only encourages others to resist getting in line with your goals. You have a deep pool of physical and mental energy today, so make these days as productive and positive as you can.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you may be unsure of your goals now, you can lean on your close friends and associates for a reality check. However, once you let others help you reach a decision about your course of action, you must rely solely on your own practical and efficient manner to achieve the results you want. The good news is your high level of integrity has come through for you in the past and it will do so again today.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your long-term career goals are on your mind today but you might not choose to share your plans with anyone else yet. You can achieve the greatest satisfaction by considering various scenarios and imagining your future success. Luckily, these thoughts are not just idle fantasies now because you also have the ability to work hard and improve your life. Don’t expect immediate results; some things are worth waiting for more than others.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your tendency toward concentrating on a single task might make you seem a bit ruthless now, but it’s a small price to pay for achieving your goals. Others may feel as if they are in your way unless they agree to do everything you suggest. But you don’t have to be so quick to push your agenda. Even if it doesn’t seem apparent at first, there’s always room for compromise. Success is within reach if you can establish a productive routine to follow during the next several weeks.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have a high level of concentration today, especially if you establish clear objectives because karmic Saturn is harmonizing with your key planet Jupiter. Instead of inflating your confidence to cover your uncertainty, you’re able to keep your optimism on a long slow burn, sustaining a steady level of production. Remember, practicing patience can buy you the time you presently need, but there’s no substitute for solid preparation and hard work. Don’t jump yet; leap only when you feel ready.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are very conscious of interpersonal boundaries now and could go out of your way to clarify the dynamics in your relationships. Thankfully, others can bring you a sense of well-being as your key planet Saturn harmonizes with generous Jupiter in your 7th House of Companions. You may feel disarmed by someone’s encouragement, prompting you to let down your guard. However, you’re acutely aware of your goals and how to achieve them, so there’s no danger in being subsumed by someone else’s agenda. Open your heart and let the force be with you.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You aren’t in a mood to be messed with today, especially if your work has piled up and you feel pressure to meet your obligations. You won’t let anything prevent you from accomplishing your goals. Thankfully, your coworkers may turn out to be a source of much-needed support. It’s a blessing to have good people around you who can jump in and offer useful assistance at exactly the right moment. There’s no need to shoulder the burden alone; gratefully accept the help in the manner it is intended.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Expressing yourself creatively might be more important to you than to anyone else in your environment. Other people may question your motives or even ask you to do additional tasks for them. Luckily, you’re not easily sidetracked now, even if you don’t have much to show for your efforts at first. But don’t slip into the tempting waters of irrational self-doubt. No one can pull the rug out from underneath you if you remember that your instincts are trustworthy and rarely steer you wrong

Current Moon Phase for December 9th – First Quarter

First Quarter Moon

(waxing/47% of Full)

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.

This spell can only be begun two nights prior to a full moon.

Put the soil or sand into the bowl. Fill the bowl halfway with spring water. Place the stone in the bowl of water. Place the bowl, with the stone in it, in a place where it will be exposed to the light of the moon. Leave it there for two nights prior to the full moon.

On the night of the full moon, remove the stone at midnight. Wrap the stone in the cloth and place it under your pillow as you sleep.

In the morning, you must be up before sunrise. Place the stone in a place where it will receive the light of the rising sun. When the sun has fully risen, the spell is worked.
