The Waxing Moon

Mother Nature Witch's invocationThe Waxing Moon

The Waxing Crescent Moon occurs 3 1/2 to 7 days after the New Moon. She rises in the mid-morning and sets in the evening. The Moon’s light is quickening. As the Moon has dropped back until she is about the ?th of the way behind the Sun, we see her lumination as a crescent shape.

You will see the first quarter Moon from 7 to 10 1/2 days after the New Moon. She will rise around noon and set around midnight.

As the Moon is at a right angle to the Sun the difference between high and low tide is minimized. Between light and dark are in balance, the Moon will appear to be a Half Moon, but the area of light will continue to grow each day.

The Waxing Gibbous Moon occurs between 10 1/2 and 14 days after the New Moon. She rises sometime in the mid-afternoon and sets in the early dark hours of the morning.

As the Moon has fallen back about ? of the way behind the Sun, one side of the Moon is seen fully and the light on the other side bulges out, but does not yet fill all of the Moon’s face.

Now your projects can get into their stride. Be aware, however, that overstrains are more likely at this time and that the body take things in and absorbs them more readily with a Waxing Moon.

It is also good time to build yourself up if you have been unwell or otherwise off-colour. Absorbing, boosting your energy and taking up supplies are crucial now. Go on an active holiday, get in touch with friends, plan a party, arrange meetings and increase communication.

As Full Moon approaches, notice what isn’t working and shed it in order to focus your energies more effectively. Remind yourself to slow down a little and conserve your strength. This is a time of regeneration and to gather information and resources.

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

The Moon



The Moon represents those forces which remain largely hidden to us. The light of the moon provides some illumination down a path into the unknown, but not enough to brighten the landscape like The Sun, or cut through the dark shadows from which the unexpected may leap. However, The Moon is not without gifts we can use. She spurs our imagination and creativity. She can be a portal to knowledge and experience beyond the realm of our everyday lives. But Her offerings are not available to the feint of heart. To receive what The Moon offers one must have the courage to follow uncharted paths and the intelligence to find truths hidden in a bewildering setting rife with illusion. For those who can make this journey the reward may be finding the key to making their dreams come true

Key Words: Magick, dreams, health, love, home and family In the word Monday, we can see part of the word Moon.

In the romance languages such as Italian or Spanish, this day of the week is called Lunes and clearly relates to the word lunar.

On Mondays, a variety of magick may be worked. Because Monday centers on the energies of the Moon, things like psychism, dreams, feminine energy, health, success in spiritual pursuits, domestic matters, and things of family origin are especially important this day. Mondays are best for love magick and anything concerning home or family, thus old saying, Mondays child is fair of face, which seems clearly to relate to the themes of love and health.

Angels of Monday are Gabriel, Arcan, Missabu, and Abuzaha. Arcan is known as the king of the angels of air and the “ruler” of Monday. Abuzaha (Abuzohar) serves Monday, and is very responsive to invocations and ritual magick.

Missabu is a ministering angel of Arcan. Check whether the moon is waning or waxing to determine what your spell will be. During waning moons, do spells to rid yourself of obstacles or for wisdom and protection. During waxing moons do magic for increase of any kind or to draw something into your life. On Mondays, the best hour to work is moonrise.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow….

Your Horoscopes for Wednesday, June 3rd

Aries 

While your focus on daily affairs may be keeping you bound to a desk or close to home these days, dear Aries, yesterday’s Full Moon has brought out a need for more adventure, a wider reach, or something non-routine. You could be coming out with a project, ready to announce something important to you, or promoting a recent project. Today, your personal appeal is strong. Avoid giving in to sudden impulses and desires, but do treat yourself to some form of light indulgence or extravagance – something that you won’t later regret. The Moon enters your career and goals sector tonight, where it will stay through to the end of Friday, and this can stimulate your ambitions.

Taurus

You might be in the position to play detective today, dear Taurus, or it’s about your disposition, as you tend to be investigating, researching, and analyzing. It’s a good time for probing and looking at old problems in a new light, but do watch for false information or a tendency to latch on to “facts” that support wishful or even fearful thinking, with Neptune clouding our vision. Today, you might suddenly become obsessed with something or someone, but this is only a mask for a deeper issue. Avoid overly impulsive moves right now, but do treat yourself with a small indulgence. People are drawn to you today – you have a little extra oomph.

Gemini

Today is a good time for giving your close relationships or significant people in your life their due attention, dear Gemini. Resolutions are likely now. It’s a time for showing how fair you can be. You might go so far as to people-please today, and this is just fine if you are truly feeling good about it, but know your limits on this front. Avoid going overboard to the point that you feel overloaded or put upon. Overall, the day is strong for connecting and bonding with others. The Moon moves into your solar eighth house tonight, where it will stay through to the end of Friday, and this can bring on a more introspective disposition.

Cancer

Health or work matters that have been brushed aside recently are in focus now, dear Cancer, and this is a good time to give them their due attention. There can be a good feeling that comes from being productive, useful, or helpful now, although the day’s energies may seem to favor emotions and pleasures over practical activities. It might be wise to allow more time for yourself to get things done. The Moon enters your partnership zone tonight, where it will stay through to the end of Friday. This brings out your need to be with others, but most of all, with a significant someone. One-on-one seems the most appealing and beneficial during this cycle.

Leo

You may have received a cosmic push to explore your creativity or to express yourself in special ways from yesterday’s Full Moon, dear Leo. Today, take the time to tune in to your heart’s desire, as it’s an important time for realizing your needs, even if they’ve been buried for quite some time. Watch, however, for desires that seem to come on too quickly, as they may only be masks for what you truly want. The Moon enters your work and service sector tonight, where it will stay through to the end of Friday. This can stimulate an emotional need to contribute and produce. Work and health can be in stronger focus.

Virgo

There can be an indulgent, passive quality to the day, dear Virgo. You are amenable and in the mood to spoil someone you care about. Family matters tend to attract your attention and thrive for you right now. Past issues can emerge, and it’s mostly a pleasant trip down memory lane. There may be a move or reorganizing of the home in the works, and new ideas about improving your home life or domestic activities. Later today, you are moving out of a domestic or withdrawn frame of mind, and could be itching to do something creative or share your ideas and feelings with others.

Libra

Teaching, authoring, and communications in general can be especially rewarding now, dear Libra. The day is more settled than it was yesterday, although you may not be certain where to direct your energies. You might find it nice to talk something through, spend time with others, and learn assorted facts. Personal magnetism is good. Later today, the Moon moves into your home and family sector for a couple of days, and this brings out the desire to surround yourself with familiar people and to stick with what you know just for the time being. Attention to personal matters is most appropriate now.

Scorpio

There can be special interest in, and focus on, money, possessions, valuables, and comfort today, dear Scorpio. You might want to look into ways to increase your income through networking, expanding your audience, and connecting with people far and wide. You could be looking into the past for benefits, or reviewing the past, especially with finances and close relationships now. The desire for comfort is very strong today. Tonight, the Moon moves into your communications zone where it will stay for a couple of days, stimulating your curiosity and desire for movement, learning, and connecting.

Sagittarius 

This is a day for being closer to your heart, dear Sagittarius, with the Full Moon having just occurred in your own sign. Today, there continues to be a lot of attention and focus on you. and with emotions still in the forefront but a little more settled, it’s a good time to consider what you need to feel satisfied or fulfilled. Desires can feel pressing, and you are giving off good vibes. Sometimes the Moon in our own sign can lead us to act childish or spoiled – avoid this as much as possible. It’s very appropriate to focus on your needs, but allow things and people to come to you. The Moon leaves your sign tonight, and will spend a couple of days in your values sector, prompting a stronger need to take care of what you have and own.

Capricorn

This is an important time for helping others, dear Capricorn, or for volunteering and performing other types of service for some of you. Others may need to go within and spend more time alone and resting with the Full Moon having just occurred in your spirituality sector and the Moon continuing to highlight this part of your chart until tonight. As much as possibly, avoid entertaining guilt about what you haven’t done. Do what you know is right at the moment and resolve to do so more often going forward. Tonight, the Moon moves into your sign, where it will spend time for a couple of days. This is a time for more emotional clarity as well as urgency, as emotional needs can feel pressing.

Aquarius

This can be a good time for reaching out to friends and people in your network, dear Aquarius. You may be especially aware of the need for their support, or simply the good feeling of camaraderie with others. You could be bringing something special to a group now, and deriving satisfaction from that. There may be surprises in your social life, but for some of you, there can be feelings of unrest if you are expecting more than you are getting from your friends. This is a day for being kind to yourself. The Moon enters your privacy zone tonight, where it will stay through to the end of Friday, and stirs the need for emotional renewal, rest, reflection, and healing.

Pisces

There is a stronger focus on performance, career, responsibilities, and what others expect of you today, Pisces. Keep a safe distance emotionally if you need to draw conclusions or deal with important facts and figures. Otherwise, entertain your feelings about where you’re headed and why – you can learn a lot about yourself in the process. Avoid impulsive moves on the career front today, but do watch for interesting and seemingly coincidental events now. Tonight, the Moon moves into your solar eleventh house, where it will stay through to the end of Friday. This brings less emphasis on performance and more interest in socializing.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for May 29th is The Moon

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Moon

Although men have stepped upon the moon and scientists have analyzed it almost endlessly, there remains in our collective unconscious a vision of the moon that shrouds it in mystery. And why wouldn’t there be? Being earth’s closest neighbor, having a clear influence on many of earth’s cycles and constantly changing in appearance, it is only fitting that our ancestors endlessly pondered and speculated on our magnificent moon’s powers. The Moon represents the pure feminine nature and the gateway to understanding the mystical world that cannot be explained by science. Its soft glow provides a gentle light in the darkness of night. Metaphorically, the powers associated with the moon supply the seeker with a light to explore the mystical aspects of our world. It empowers the sense of wonder in those open to psychic adventures.

As a daily card, The Moon is indicative of a time when your feminine side and connection to the spiritual world is very strong. Essentially you are “tuned in” spiritually which makes this an ideal time for you to investigate your place in our mystical world.

Your Horoscopes for Saturday, May 30th

 

Aries 

Today is strong for discovering new interests or reviving old ones, dear Aries. Ideas that come to you now, particularly about areas ruled by the third house (learning, mental interests, communication, neighbors, connections, and siblings), can be especially important, as they may very well kickstart a long-term interest or pursuit. There can be helpful conversations today about the past or about previously tricky topics. Your advice to someone can be sought and appreciated. You could benefit greatly from looking back at recent ideas or decisions now, as there is new perspective and energy available for doing so. As rational as the day feels, you’re also strongly intuitive now. Friends or networking can be helpful and possibly catalysts for ideas birthed now.

Taurus

When it comes to money, business, valuables, talents, and personal possessions, pay special attention to ideas coming in today and this week, dear Taurus, whether they come from within yourself or from information circling around you. Looking to the past for answers makes sense now, and can even be profitable for some of you! For example, money that you had written off could now come in. There is new, fertile energy with you for reviewing old problems and coming at things from a fresh perspective. Not everything is likely to make sense, as is often the case with new beginnings, but what comes out of conversations and thoughts today can be significant later. You are projecting a lot of warmth and love on a public or professional level today, and this can benefit you greatly.

Gemini

This can be a great day for making a review of sorts, dear Gemini, of recent decisions and ideas. Observations made now can lead to new ideas, improvements, or other developments that you could put into action later. It’s a time for taking stock and thinking about changes you’d like to make. The New Moon in your sign on June 16th will launch an especially good period for implementing your ideas. Even so, today is an important part of the process. What you communicate today has more impact than usual with Mercury in your sign and conjunct the Sun. People are hearing you, but not necessarily seeing the whole picture, so it’s important to be clear and mindful about what you’re saying and writing. Opinions and beliefs heard now can be inspiring.

Cancer

You can be very busy with your memories these days, dear Cancer, and you may be coming to some important conclusions. Ideas can come to you from within, from dreams, and from impressions, but information you come across today can be significant when it comes to letting go of bad attitudes or situations. There could be a secret revealed, a eureka moment, or you could otherwise be seeing old problems or a past matter in a very revealing new light. Discoveries can be rich now, and others supportive. The Moon’s move into your playful solar fifth house today brings out a more expressive side of you. It’s a good time for letting your inner child roam free.

Leo

You can be especially sensitive to what’s going on around you and to what’s said today, dear Leo, with your ruler, the Sun, in alignment with retrograde Mercury. What you communicate has a little more impact than usual, making it important to be mindful of how and what you’re saying/writing. A partner and/or friends can be giving you important feedback, but you’re also gathering valuable information from or through them now. It’s a powerful time for processing, reviewing, and rediscovering old interests, decisions, and ideas. Ideas coming from this period can be significant ones for you in the long term. A friend from the past may reappear in your life, or you could come to a new understanding of an old friendship. Interactions today are encouraging and possibly quite fruitful.

Virgo

This is a strong time for reviewing recent business projects, decisions, or ideas, dear Virgo. Alternatively, thinking about life direction and long-term goals in new ways can be fruitful now, and can also lead to significant new ideas. You could come to a significant conclusion about your next move, or about certain directions your life is taking. There is considerably more impact or punch to what and how you communicate today, so be extra choosy when it comes to your words, manner, and even whether or not to make a statement or observation right now. Work and health matters can benefit from a review or even a brainstorming session now. Think in terms of recycling or reviving old projects or ideas. The Moon moves into your communications sector today, and this brings a busier pace. This position tends to stimulate your curiosity.

Libra

The Moon leaves your sign this morning, Libra, and this tends to settle your emotions. Emotional needs feel less urgent, and this allows you to focus on other concerns. This is an important idea day for you, although a significant idea begun now is likely in a rather raw state. Pay more attention to what information comes in to you now, but also from your own musings. Thoughts might turn to the past, or to recent decisions and plans, but you’re looking at things in a very new light. This can be very helpful. The conversations you engage in now can be inspiring, especially interesting, and possibly quite enlightening. There is no need to force anything – just let your mind go. Children, a romantic partner, or friend can be especially considerate or encouraging now.

Scorpio

There can be wonderful energy with you for delving into your own psychology, intimate thoughts, and feelings, dear Scorpio. You can be quite self-absorbed, but in the good sense of the word, as you could be making some important discoveries now. Conversations about intimate or taboo matters can be helpful and particularly creative. Loved ones may be a little more open and considerate than usual. You could be coming to important conclusions, or gaining clues, to a mystery or other investigation now. New insight into an old relationship or into your own psyche can be helpful and enlightening. The Moon enters your sign this morning, reawakening emotions or emotional needs that you’ve recently set aside.

Sagittarius 

Illumination about a relationship matter can occur around now, dear Sagittarius, and it’s about looking at something (or someone) from the past in a new way. You won’t have all the facts or answers right now, but this is a time for some serious rethinking of matters. Today is strong for opening up conversations, particularly about the past, as there is more consideration for both sides of a situation. These conversations, whether about or with a significant other, can be important ones, even if you don’t yet see their significance. Counseling and advice can be in focus and helpful. The Moon moves into your privacy zone today, signaling the need for rest and emotional recuperation.

Capricorn

There can be a real desire to put everything into order today, and especially your thoughts, dear Capricorn. You can also feel the need to help or support others with information you’ve gathered for them, or with your own advice. Watch, however, for pressure to do things or to come to a conclusion too quickly. Let intuition work for you. Do take the time to consider problems, as you’re inclined now to come at them from a new angle and this can be very helpful. You might gain important insight into a work or health issue. Ideas born now can have significance later. This is also a fine time for dreaming up marketing strategies.

Aquarius

This can be a day of creative inspiration, dear Aquarius, and you might experience an epiphany of sorts about a creative or romantic matter. Reviewing old ideas can lead to a positive recycling experience, as new methods can come to light, which can be very important in the months to come. You are especially receptive to the advances of others and this openness can bring new opportunities into your life. This might also have to do with new “old” opportunities, as someone from your past could reappear and an old issue might be wrapped up or clarified. Whether this happens in the flesh or in your mind, it’s helpful and serves a good purpose. There is strong energy today for showing others you care.

Pisces

There is a strong inclination today to analyze, sort, and make sense of matters from the past, dear Pisces, particularly with (or about) family. In some respects, this is the case for the whole week. Try not to push for answers, but do some gentle exploration now, as ideas that come out of your conversations and reminiscing now can in fact be significant later – possibly even defining. Your communications, and what others are expressing as well, have more punch than usual. As such, it’s important to be mindful of what you’re saying, but also to let intuition in. This is a good day for releasing a problem through conversation with someone you trust.
