Today’s Word is
Faeries
From moonlitpriestess.com
Some refer to them as The Wee Folk; the word “fairy” is a synonym for “brownie.” Many Earth elementals are called faeries or the fey. A deeper study is required for better understanding.


English version
My lady, my beautiful lady,
Beautiful altar of Diana,
Goddess of the moon,
Merry one, sacred woman,
I pray you grant me a favor I ask,
The favor I ask now.
If you grant me this favor,
Always the Vangelo of Aradia
I will profess.
Italian version
Mia donna, mia donna bella,
Bell’ ara della Diana,
La dea della luna,
La gioconda, la sacerdotisa,
Ti prego mi assengno il favore che chiedo,
Il favore che ora chiedo.
Se questa grazia mi farmi,
Sempre it vangelo della Aradia
Io asseriro.

Explanation: Simultaneous images from four cameras were combined to construct this atmospheric predawn skyscape. The cooperative astro-panorama captures all the planets of the Solar System, just before sunrise on June 24. That foggy morning found innermost planet Mercury close to the horizon but just visible against the twilight, below and left of brilliant Venus. Along with the waning crescent Moon, the other bright naked-eye planets, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn lie near the ecliptic, arcing up and to the right across the wide field of view. Binoculars would have been required to spot the much fainter planets Uranus and Neptune, though they also were along the ecliptic in the sky. In the foreground are excavations at an ancient Roman villa near Marina di San Nicola, Italy, planet Earth.

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Taurus.
Be sensible and respect your money and your wealth because today, you’re tempted to impulse shop. “I have to have this!” Likewise, guard what you own against loss, theft or damage. This an unpredictable day for your wealth and your assets, which is why you might find money or lose money.
Today seems to be full of electric energy, and you can feel it! This is why you might impulsively do something or suddenly go off in a new direction without a word to anyone. Guard against doing something rash because your moods will change quickly today. You want some action! (No bores allowed.)
This is a restless day for you. That’s because both the Moon and Uranus are lined up together, but they’re in a hidden part of your chart. This could make I difficult for you to fully concentrate on something. You might also be unconsciously impatient with others. Relax and stay chill.
Very likely, a friend or a member of a group will say or do something that surprises you today. This could be intriguing – or irritating. Alternatively, you might meet someone today who is a real character. Something or someone might even cause you to rethink or change your goals for the future.
You will bristle if someone tries to stop you from doing something today, even if your plans are last-minute. You don’t want to be dictated to by others. You have a strong drive for freedom, and you definitely want to be able to do your own thing. Hello?
A chance to travel might drop in your lap today. (Who knew?) On the other hand (you have different rings) – travel plans might be cancelled, changed or delayed. Likewise, something in the media might surprise you or perhaps the surprise relates to legal or medical matters.
Double check details related to inheritances, insurance matters, shared property, taxes and debt because something unexpected could impact something related to these areas for you. Check your banking details. It’s important to stay on top of things because you snooze, you lose.
A partner or close friend might throw you a curveball today. Or they might say something that shocks you. Or perhaps you feel impatient with them? Tread carefully because why do something or say something that you will regret later. Think twice before you act.
This might be an accident-prone day for you because work-related accidents are likely. They might simply be equipment breakdowns. Meanwhile, staff shortages, power outages, late deliveries and unexpected surprises will impact your day. Check your pet.
Parents should know this is an accident-prone day for their kids. Meanwhile, anyone might discover that they have a sudden change in social plans or a sudden change in schedules related to sports. Be smart and guard against sports accidents.
Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone might knock at your door. It could be anything. Get dressed. Be ready for the unexpected because that’s half the battle.
This is an accident-prone day for your sign – no question. We might be talking about a physical accident; however, it also could be a gaffe – you might suddenly say something you regret later. (“I can’t believe I just said that.”) Take extra precautions driving, walking and jogging. On the upside, a brilliant idea might amaze everyone.
Footballer Lionel Messi (1987) shares your birthday today. You are a natural leader who is independent. You influence others. You’re an excellent problem solver; and you value home and family. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to wrap up things. Let go of people, places and things that are no longer relevant.

A spell is designed to initiate change on some level by shifting the balance of energy within a situation. The shift does simply occur in response to your wish for a change: there are certain stages through which you must pass. Let’s take a look at them.
The Basic Steps:
While every spell is different, most steps can be classified somewhere in the following:

Explanation: Beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 6744 is nearly 175,000 light-years across, larger than our own Milky Way. It lies some 30 million light-years distant in the southern constellation Pavo but appears as only a faint, extended object in small telescopes. We see the disk of the nearby island universe tilted towards our line of sight in this remarkably detailed galaxy portrait, a telescopic view that spans an area about the angular size of a full moon. In it, the giant galaxy’s elongated yellowish core is dominated by the light from old, cool stars. Beyond the core, grand spiral arms are filled with young blue star clusters and speckled with pinkish star forming regions. An extended arm sweeps past smaller satellite galaxy NGC 6744A at the lower right. NGC 6744’s galactic companion is reminiscent of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Explanation: A solar filament is an enormous stream of incandescent plasma suspended above the active surface of the Sun by looping magnetic fields. Seen against the solar disk it looks dark only because it’s a little cooler, and so slightly dimmer, than the solar photosphere. Suspended above the solar limb the same structure looks bright when viewed against the blackness of space and is called a solar prominence. A filaprom would be both of course, a stream of magnetized plasma that crosses in front of the solar disk and extends beyond the Sun’s edge. In this hydrogen-alpha close-up of the Sun captured on June 22, active region AR3038 is near the center of the frame. Active region AR3032 is seen at the far right, close to the Sun’s western limb. As AR3032 is carried by rotation toward the Sun’s visible edge, what was once a giant filament above it is now partly seen as a prominence, How big is AR3032’s filaprom? For scale planet Earth is shown near the top right corner.

Tools needed:
Bowl of natural spring water
7 day Purple candle
Altar Fire (red) candle
Anointing Oil
Sandalwood Incense
Options: Rune symbols
On your altar, or your quiet and sacred place, take three deep breaths of air and begin to ground and center yourself. Light the altar candle and sandalwood incense. Ask the Lord and Lady to bless this spell with the highest good of all. Gently sprinkle the purple candle with some of the spring water, repeating:
“I cleanse thee oh ye magical tool in the name of the Lord and Lady, removing all negative and disharmonious energies casting them out into the ethers.”
Now, move the purple candle over the sandalwood incense repeating:
“I consecrate oh ye magickal tool in the name of the Lord and Lady, removing all negative and disharmonious energies casting them out into the ethers.”
Take the anointing oil in one hand and the purple candle in the other. Starting at the mid-point of the purple candle, moving UP in a docile [clockwise] and circular motion, anoint the candle and repeat three times:
“I anoint you in the name of the Lord and Lady as a magickal tool to be used in the aiding of my magick. I charge ye to increase my spiritual awareness that Love is the Key! Love is the Law!”
Now, starting at the mid-point again, moving DOWN in a docile and circular motion, anoint the candle and repeat three times again:
“I anoint you in the name of the Lord and Lady as a magickal tool to be used in the aiding of my magick. I charge ye to increase my spiritual awareness that Love is the Key! Love is the Law!”
Option: If you wish you may draw the appropriate rune symbols on the candle.
Lastly, repeat:
“As my will, so divine will be done. So mote it be! “
Spend of few moments quietly reflecting on the magick. Thank the Lord and Lady for their presence in your life. Use a candle snuffer to extinguish only the altar fire candle. Place the purple candle in a safe place as to not be disturbed. Allow it burn out completely. Every time you notice the purple candle burning, repeat quietly to yourself, LOVE is the Key! LOVE is the LAW!

This continues to be a positive, upbeat week! Today’s Moon puts your focus on financial matters, which have been uncertain recently. (They might continue this way because Uranus is in your House of Earnings.) Cope as best you can.
This is a winning day because the Moon has moved into your sign, which admittedly, will make you more emotional. However, it also boosts your good luck! Why not test this by asking the universe for a favour? Ask for what you want.
Expect mixed messages today. With your ruler Mercury and fair Venus in your sign, you want to schmooze! Furthermore, Mars is boosting your desire to participate with groups. Nevertheless, today the Moon is hiding in your chart. And so will you.
This is a solid day for you. The Sun is in your sign and the placement of the Moon is favourable to you. Therefore, things will unfold much as you would like them to. Your big advantage right now is that you look like a winner to others. Hey, nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.
You are noticed today! More than usual. In fact, some people will be discussing personal details about your private life. (Whaaat?) Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. We all have skeletons in our closets – just make sure you close those doors.
Things will run smoothly today; nevertheless, you have an urge to shake things up a little. This is because you want a change of scenery and a chance to learn something new. A little adventure would be the perfect touch! Travel if possible – do anything to get out of your rut.
Be patient with partners and close friends because Mars is opposite your sign now. Nevertheless, the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight, which means people in authority admire you even if you don’t do anything special. Keep this in mind. You have a winning ticket!
Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Hey, no biggie. This simply means you have to be accommodating, friendly and easy going. You can do this. (Remember when you did this one day last summer?)
This is a strong day for important discussions about finances, shared property and who is responsible for what. Put your cards on the table. With Mercury and Venus opposite your sign, people will cooperate with you – perhaps, more than you think.
Increased chaos and activity on the home front continues! Fortunately, today is the ideal day to get away from all this and do something playful. Have a long lunch. Catch a matinee. Meet a friend for coffee. Enjoy playful times with kids. Explore your creative talents. Socialize!

Actress Melissa Rauch (1980) shares your birthday today. You can have mood swings because you have strong feelings and emotions. You are compassionate and caring. You are also an independent, freethinker. This is a marvelous year for you because you will receive recognition and acknowledgement for your efforts, almost certainly. You might win an award or get a promotion.

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!

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

You have been nursing moneymaking ideas and some potential major purchases. (You love beautiful things, especially antiques.) Today, you might decide to take action and go after what you want. (Someone or something behind the scenes will prompt you.)
Now both Mercury (your ruler) and fair Venus are in your sign. This means your words are golden! You are eager to talk to others, and they will listen because you will be charming and diplomatic with everyone. Small wonder, that this is such a popular time for you!
With the Sun in your sign now, you’re empowered. (Remember: This happens only once a year for four weeks.) In addition, a gaggle of planets at the top of your chart makes you look attractive to people in power. You have their attention. Use this!
You have a strong urge to do something different because you need a change of scenery. “Time to get outta Dodge!” Explore travel opportunities. Don’t hesitate to explore other opportunities in publishing, the media, the law or medicine. Enjoy schmoozing with younger, creative people.
In discussions about inheritances, shared property, insurance issues or banking matters, you will come out on top today. For starters, this is a popular time for you; secondly, with Mercury and Venus at the top of your chart, you have the upper hand.
Yesterday the Sun moved to the top of your chart where it will stay for the next four weeks, which gives you an enormous advantage when dealing with others. (You’ll look good, even if you don’t do anything special.) Today, someone might oppose you. Be diplomatic and keep smiling. You’ve got this.
Hard work and focus will allow you to accomplish a lot today because both the Moon and fiery Mars are lined up in your House of Employment. Expect results and you will get them. Financial discussions will go your way. A good day to make travel plans.

Be cooperative today. In fact, if you can, take a nap. (You will need more sleep in the next few weeks.) Today you have the energy to make big changes at home, perhaps domestic improvements. These changes might come about through a family discussion or because everyone pitches in and gets the job done.
You’re convincing today! This is because you’re prepared to put a lot of yourself into whatever you have to say. Since you are a networker extraordinaire, you will put out your feelers and stay in touch with your trap line to get things done. Good day to party!
Although the next few weeks are a playful time for you, today is a strong money day for you. You have strong feelings about a particular issue, which means you are going to press your advantage. And of course, with lucky, moneybags Jupiter in your House of Earnings – you have an advantage!
Singer, songwriter Cyndi Lauper (1953) shares your birthday today. People born in this day are very talented and accomplished in wide varieties and many walks of life.
