Current Moon Phase for October 11 – First Quarter

First Quarter Moon

(waxing/50% illumination)

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.

Your Ancient Symbols Card for October 10th is Venus

Your Ancient Symbols Card for Today

Venus

Venus represents those qualities we commonly associate with the female/yin persona. Venus traits include fertility and the drive to create, unblemished beauty, love, passion, and togetherness. The occurrence of Venus denotes the dominating presence or need of the qualities listed above. While often very subtle, Venetian influences may have a negative impact unless they are balanced with an influence that can temper the drive of Venus.

As a daily card, Venus suggest you should allow your more feminine traits to guide your actions through this period. Subtlety, efforts to bring people together and allowing your creativity to run free are likely to serve you well at this time.  However, like Mars, the powers of Venus are very strong and  can do more damage than good if not balanced by other influences.

Current Moon Phase for October 10th – Waxing Crescent

Crescent Moon

(waxing/42% illumination)

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.

Heads-up! Draconid Meteor shower coming tonight

Heads-up! Draconid Meteor shower coming tonight

(USA TODAY) – The Draconid meteor shower will sweep across U.S. skies early Monday evening just after sunset.

Although not among the showiest showers of the year, the Draconids stand out for one reason: Unlike most meteor showers, they are best seen in the evening rather than before dawn. That makes them a great introduction to sky-watching because they don’t require getting up early. Read More…..

Current Moon Phase for October 7th – Waxing New Moon

New Moon

(waxing/20% illumination)

The New Moon is a time best suited for new beginnings! For the first 48 hours following the exact time of the New Moon each month, a window of opportunity opens for making wishes that, if noted, come true in the days and months ahead. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.

General Superstitions

General Superstitions

It is unlucky to wash a baby’s head for the first twelve months.

Washing a child’s hand’s before his first birthday will take away his riches and
would live and die poor.

Nails should be bitten, not cut, for the same time, for that would make them
thieves.

Hair at no age must be cut at the waning of the moon, that would prevent it
growing luxuriantly.

Hair cut off should always be burned; it unlucky to throw shorn hair away;
otherwise, birds might make a nest of your hair, weaving tightly, so that you
would have difficulty rising on your last day.

Children’s first lost teeth are burned in order to prevent snaggle teeth from
coming in.

Coral necklaces are worn to ensure easy teething.

Coral beads are said to change color indicating whether the wearer is ill or
well.

All locks in a house are unlocked at birthing to ensure an easy delivery.

Cornishmen of the west are born with tails; they drop off when the Tamar River
is crossed.

When a boy is born under the waning moon, the next birth will be a girl, and
vice versa.

When a child is born under a waxing moon, the next birth will be of the same
sex.

A child born at the interval between the old and new moons is fated to die
young.

Babies with blue veins across their noses will not live to see twenty-one.

Moon Spell

Moon Spell

Materials:

  • A small globe of crystal or clear glass.

Initial Preparation:

The first time you starts this spell and every time you wish to use it for a new special purpose, you have to clear and consecrate the globe of crystal/glass by holding it up to the light of the Full Moon, so that the lunar image is caught therein.

Monthly:

After this has been performed, the globe may be used as a charm to procure the secret wish of the owner.  On the night of each New Moon, hold the sphere in the left palm, by candlelight, gaze upon it, and chant:

Crescent be full

and crystal fill:

Thus my eye and

thus my will:

Fiat Voluntus Abdita!

Fiat Voluntus Abdita!!

Fiat Voluntus Abdita!!!

 

The globe should then be kept in a small bag of leather inscribed with figures of the Moon’s phases, and worn about the neck during those days and nights between the crescent and the full.  While it is not being worn, the globe should be wrapped in a black cloth and hidden away.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, October 4th

With the New Moon approaching and forming exactly at 5:36PM (energizing 12 degrees of Libra), all of the hours beforehand represent the dark-of-the-moon monthly cycle when the lunar orb is depleted of solar light and is striving to once again unite with the Sun in order to start a 29.5-day forward-moving cycle of dynamic energy. During the dark-of-the-moon cycle, it is best to keep a low profile and focus attention on completing projects begun during the last four weeks.  Love vibrations are tilting more toward the challenging than the easygoing due to the Sun making a frictional, 45-degree tie with Venus (9:18AM). Nevertheless, some tweaking is possible regarding this Sun-Venus contact that can result in making progress on the creative artistic horizon.  The Libra New Moon (5:36PM) is certainly welcome for all earthlings as it can become a resourceful launching pad for many artistic ventures that require a major boost. In addition, primary partnerships can bask in a new glow thanks to the solar and lunar orbs merging their influences. However, as often happens in our solar system, the universal mischief-makers like to toss in a cosmic monkey-wrench into earthly proceedings to see how we respond as an evolving species. Thus, only 4+ hours after the New Moon, Saturn in Scorpio and Uranus in Aries form the third of three, off-kilter, 150-degree aspects (9:47PM).  They already formed this type of alignment in November 2012 and April 2013. This Saturn-Uranus clash pits the past against the future, the conventional against the revolutionary, and the status quo against radical change. Does it have to augur bad tidings? Not necessarily if you are willing to adjust your thoughts, feelings and attitudes to the vital situations confronting you and your family members at this time. While risk-taking and shots in the dark can backfire and lead to instant karma, well-reasoned and intuitively-sound approaches to problem-solving may guide you to eventual success and achievements. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Current Moon Phase for Oct. 3rd – Waning Crescent

Crescent Moon

(waning/8% illumination)

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.
