Ancestral Money Draw Spell

Description

While the moon is waxing (moving from new to full) it is the perfect time to perform prosperity magic. We want to bring things into our lives during this moon cycle, and who doesn’t want a little extra money.

As the saying goes, sometimes you have to spend money to make money. This spell requires a few ingredients but packs a powerful punch, calling upon the ancestors for aid. Feel free to purchase only the necessary products, customize it to your will or perform the spell in it’s entirety.

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

7 day candle jar and a green 7 day pillar candle

Prosperity Oil

A jar of Money Draw Herbal Blend

lucky horseshoe

Ancestor Money

A jar of Magnet Attraction Sachet Powder

A roll of charcoal pucks

Pyrite stone

HOW TO PERFORM:

Begin by cleansing your empty jar with some sage smoke and your candle by running it under cold water for 30 seconds. Take 3 full breaths while holding your candle and visualize money and prosperity flowing effortlessly into your life. Connect with your intention deeply, use all your senses. Breathe your intention onto your candle 3 times and whisper your intention.

To dress your candle first choose a symbol or create a sigil for prosperity. The dollar sign works like a charm. Carve your symbol or sigil and your intention onto your candle. Next run the prosperity oil over top of your candle. Move in a clockwise direction from the top to the bottom to draw prosperity to you. Finally apply the money draw herbal blend to your oiled candle. Once your candle is fully dressed and charged place your candle in a fire safe container on your altar.

Write down that which you want to draw into your life onto your ancestor money. Be specific, ask for a precise amount of money and if it’s to pay bills don’t forget to include when you need it by. Offer the money to your ancestors for their help. Call them by name and make sure to give them an offering they like.

Place your ancestor money under your candle on your altar. Continue by placing the lucky horseshoe around your candle so that it sits in the ring of luck. Don’t forget to charge the horseshoe with your intention. Light your candle stating your intention while doing so.

In a fire proof bowl, on top of a bed of sand or salt, light your charcoal puck. place a scoop of magnet attraction sachet powder onto the lit puck and allow the incense to surround your spell. Inhale it and feel rich from the inside out. After the spell you can also place some of the powder in your wallet and sprinkle it onto your money.

Take your pyrite stone and anoint it in the magnet attraction smoke. For an added bonus anoint it with your prosperity oil. Hold it in your dominant hand and spend 10-30 minutes focusing on your intention. Feel yourself financially rich. When you are ready, safely take your ancestor money and light it from your candle and burn it knowing with certainty that your ancestors will come to your aid.

Take some time to divine any messages your candle flame has to offer. Candle flames can indicate possible blocks or results of your spell depending on the way it is burning.

Allow the candle to burn out then dispose of your spell work. This can be over several days. Carry the pyrite stone on your for and extra boost of prosperity. Lastly, don’t forget to offer your ancestors some of their favourite treats. Tobacco, tea, beer, cookies work depending on their preference.

March 12, 2026 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

You can find more moon phase details on both of the websites used in this post by clicking on each hyperlink.

Source: nineplanets.org

The Moon phase for March 12th, 2026 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact:

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

Soul Contract

The idea bred false conclusions

And a fateful contract

Signed in blood

Ancient text with ancient rite

Demon summoning

Lonely crossroads

It sounded easy

No payment due

Saved until a future day

Bargaining with your soul

What’s the value

None can say

They rather trade it away

Earthly pleasures

They’re easy to see

Wealth, fame, power

Living life so lavishly

Yet time

Time’s a mortal enemy

Try not to think

That eternal damnation

A constant cycle of cremation

But only after pain

And so much suffering

Distract yourself

Try not to see

Deal with it eventually

You want it now

Everything

Eternal youth and diamond rings

Pleasures only flesh can bring

Forgotten was the ancient spell

Your private highway

Your road to hell

Tied now to the hourglass

Amazing run will travel fast

The pact fulfilled

The payment due

Now he comes

Comes for you

Famous Pacts with Demons

Robert Johnson – American Blues Musician – His shadowy life and early death at age 27 gave rise to the legend that he traded his soul to the devil for fame and fortune

Johann Faust – Fifteenth century alchemist, astrologer, and magician whose life became the focal character in the popular tale of Dr. Faust who entered into a pact with Mephistopheles, exchanging his soul for 24 years of service.

Urbain Grandier – A French Catholic priest who was burned at the stake for witchcraft in 1634.  One of the documents used in his trial was a pact between the devil and Grandier, written in Latin and covered in strange markings.  It was known as the  Pactum foederis Urbani Grandieri.

I am doing the best that I can each day with posts. The weather here is a yo-yo and not compatible with chronic pain problems. I will continue bring you what I can each day depending on my pain level.

Being a Pisces born on March 10th

 Astrological symbol: Fishes. The sign of the Fish influences people born between February 19 and March 20, when in tropical astrology the Sun is considered to be in Pisces. It refers to the intuitive and empathic nature of these individuals.

 The Pisces Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac and lies between Aquarius to the West and Aries to the East. The brightest star is called Van Maanen’s. This constellation is spread on an area of 889 square degrees and covering visible latitudes between +90° and -65°.

 The name Pisces comes from the Latin name for Fish, in Spanish this sign is called Pisci and in French Poissons, while in Greece the sign for March 10 zodiac sign is called Ihthis.

 Opposite sign: Virgo. This sign as the opposite or complementary of Pisces reveals simplicity and control and shows how these two sun signs have similar goals in life but they reach to them differently.

 Modality: Mobile. This indicates exposure and determination and also how eloquent natives born on March 10 truly are.

 Ruling house: The twelfth house. This zodiac placement suggests the turning point where an individual analyzes all life decisions and starts over after a success or a pitfall rising each and every time.

 Ruling body: Neptune. This planetary ruler symbolizes direction and wander and also reflects on sensibility. The glyph of Neptune is represented by the trident.

 Element: Water. This element symbolizes renewal and is recognized to rule over the emotional side that is sometimes controlling those connected to the March 10 zodiac and makes them base their actions more on feelings rather than on reason. Water also gets new significances in association with fire, making things boil, with air that dissipates it or with earth that models things.

 Lucky day: Thursday. This is a day ruled by Jupiter, therefore deals with confidence and seduction. It suggests the selfless nature of Pisces natives.

 Lucky numbers: 3, 7, 16, 18, 25.

 Motto: “I believe!”

People born on March 10 can be defined as independent and temperamental dreamers. Just like a true Pisces they are sensitive and devoted to their cause, once they find one. And this is quite easy for the accepting and idealistic Pisces who’s always ready to save the world. They enjoy introspection and spending time alone. They hate rudeness and materialistic people. The best environment for those born under this sign is placed somewhere near water with their loved one beside them.

 Positive Traits: These natives are perceptive and sincere and seem to face any life setting quite courageously. They might be a bit emotional at times but it is only because they have a forceful insightful nature and because they are also very romantic once they really connect with someone. They are also eager and rapid learners.

 Negative Traits: Moody and even prone to paranoia outings, these natives dwell between a state of victimization and over sureness. They are hesitant and sometimes confidence others more than they should. They either take things in a malleable slow motion or in an agitated state and sometimes fail to understand the real implications of a certain situation. They need to temper their impulsivity and not be so naive at times.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on March 10 are enthusiastic and adventurous. They seem to never rest and this is also how their love life is going. They love dating and meeting new and exciting persons but when it comes to settling down they avoid any kind of attachment. They are attracted to people who are as fun and open minded as them. You can conquer the heart of Pisces if you know how to keep their interest alive. However, keep note that even these wonderers can be struck by love and when they do they are very loyal and romantic. A passionate lover prone to jealousy fits when madly in love. They offer everything they have to offer to their loved one and ask for the same. They are used to living intense every aspect of their life and their relationships are no exception. They are likely to fall in love at a young age as they are attractive and positive persons. Regarding their family life they will marry when they are completely ready and they will probably be a cool parent if they choose to have a one big family. They are most compatible with those born on 4th, 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, and 31st.

 March 10 Zodiac people are most attached to the other two water signs: Cancer and Scorpio as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Pisces is in a constant search for someone who can understand and support them unconditionally and the best to offer them this is the native in Taurus. The least compatible with people born on March 10 are those born under Aquarius. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Pisces, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Turquoise is the representative color for those born under the March 10.

Turquoise symbolizes fertility and spirituality coupled with wisdom. This zodiac color should be used for objects that are sitting in places where these natives spend most of their time.

People having turquoise as sign color are personalities that have something to say, something to prove to humanity and follow their dreams no matter how impossible they might appear to all around them. This ever changing mix, ranging and changing shades appeals and stimulates the creative and visionary Pisces.

Other colors that suit Pisces natives are purple, pink and sea-green.

Representative Birthstone: The luring Aquamarine is the birthstone that is considered lucky for those Pisceans with March 10.

This is a precious stone that symbolizes reliability and courage. This zodiac birthstone should be used in pendants, bracelets and other accessories.

This is said to channel positive energy towards clarity of mind and on easing communication between two or more people. This was the stone of the god of the seas and comes in all kind of blue-green shades.

Another gemstone considered beneficial for Pisces natives is Amethyst. It represents refinery and sobriety.

Characteristic Flower: The flower for Pisces natives born with the March 10 is Water Lily.

Water Lily is a known symbol of dreams and hopes. This zodiac flower is advised to be used for gifts and decorations.

Water Lily relates to emotional reactions and responses. You can enjoy this flower during summer to early fall.

Other flowers for Pisces people are Violets and Jonquils.

Symbolic Metal: Aluminum is the metal defined for March 10 and in general for Pisces natives.

Aluminum is a metal that suggests innovation and creativity. The zodiac metal could be used in accessories and jewelry items.

Aluminum relates to travel, due to its lightness in weight. Although it is soft and lacks strength its malleability is its principal and most used feature. Pure aluminum is light and non magnetic and is the second most malleable metal.

Another metal considered lucky for Pisces natives is Zinc.

Characteristics: March 10 Zodiac belongs to the second decan of PISCES (March 1-March 10). This decan is strongly influenced by the Moon. This is representative for people who are friendly and intuitive just like Pisces and emotional just like the Moon. This period is said to temper the characteristics of the Pisces zodiac sign. Being born on the 10th day of the month shows great will power, eloquence and self confidence. The numerology for March 10 is 1. This number reveals revels leadership qualities, great will power and an original approach to life, all wrapped in a charming personality. Those Pisces can only be proud of this association as this is the number of achievers, of those who see the bigger picture and are set to follow their goals no matter what.

 March is the third of the year, bringing the enthusiasm and revival of spring. Those born in March are attractive, loving and fine observers. March 10 Zodiac people are determined and generous. March symbols that resonate with these people are Aquamarine and Emerald as gemstones, Daffodil and Shamrock as plants and Mars, the god of war.

Statistics Say:  March 10 is the 69th day of the year, or the 70th day in leap years, in the Gregorian Calendar and there are 296 days left until the end of the year. The tenth day of spring, this is also the Tibetan Uprising Day. Pisces as a common occurrence in the birth signs list is placed fourth. Of feminine symbolism and being an even number sign, it also has a general negative polarity with a magnetic energy. This is characteristic for introvert natives who are thoughtful and quite unfailing. An archetype often used to characterize this sign is the Guru. This sign was rated to have the highest risk of divorce compared to all the other zodiac signs.

 Famous people born on March 10 under the Pisces zodiac sign: Chuck Norris, Sharon Stone, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde and Carrie Underwood.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS March 10, you are an attention seeker! The zodiac sign for today is Pisces. You enter into a crowded room and own it. All eyes are on you, Pisces. People are drawn to you and your spotlight. You love it so you take in all you can. This is actually a cover-up for something more serious.

Your flirtatious attitude is only on the surface. What is behind that birthday trait is someone who has spunk. Yes indeed, Pisces, you can take care of yourself. You will not let anyone push you around. If that is what some people think, they are in for a little surprise.

Your birthday astrology predicts that those who are born this day are easy going. You are energetic which makes you more enjoyable. These are two more of your desirable traits.

One of your flaws of the 10 March birthday personality is that you are initially suspicious of people and their reasons for wanting to be in your life. You just do not trust people too easily especially when it comes to love. You have a need to protect yourself and those around you.

Pisces, you really have a difficult time figuring out who has your best interest at heart. Deep down, you know your friends and family members love you. You can count on their love and support as well.

Likewise, you are there for them. Sometimes you just have to have faith. Give people a chance to prove themselves worthy of your love and affection. I think you will find more often than not, you have real kinships and romantic interests.

While you may bask in all of this attention, your birthday love horoscope shows that you need your lover to be steadfast and true. You seek someone who is strong and someone who can handle the stormy weather. You need to know if you were broke, would they still love you, Pisces.

Until you know that for sure, you will not be willing to make a commitment of any kind or subject your heart to breaking. Once a Piscean does connect with someone special, he/she will surely be one fortunate and pleased individual.

In most cases, March 10 Pisceans need to know if what they do will have a positive and profound effect on someone or something. Those born on this day have a respect for the institution of learning especially at a higher level. Your birthday horoscope profile shows that will make an excellent professor and mentor.

We all know teachers make less than their worth but you are willing to make that sacrifice if it meant helping just a few children. You are inclined be dedicated to the cause. Pisceans have limitless possibilities when it comes to choosing a career field.

If your zodiac birthday is March 10, you may be competitive or even obsessed with fitness and health. You stay active year-round in sporting activities. However, you cannot get that delicious organic recipe at the sports pub like you can in the comfort of your own home.

The portions are normally high in calories when you eat at these joints. After which you belch down a few beers and just blow your diet. Those born on this date are Pisceans that do not have to stay strictly on your diet as others do.

March 10 birthday meaning also shows that you love getting attention but from the right people. You are a little standoffish with it comes to actually getting to know someone in addition to being a little suspicious of their motives.

Pisceans need to be sure of their loved ones or before they go giving their heart to someone. Pisces, your body weight is good just be careful not to binge on food and you will be fine.

One Person’s View Point About the Sun Phases Part 1 of 6

Sun Phases

The Sun emits an uncomplicated, direct masculine energy that is warm and golden-feeling. Unlike the Moon, He moves through several different phases every day availing the practitioner of unlimited opportunities for immediate spellwork. His wide range of properties can boost almost any magickal effort normally aided by the Moon.

 

My View Point of How to Use Sun Phases for Spells

While almost every witch follows Moon phases for doing spells, rituals, and other magickal works. I also use the Sun phases, especially because my patron God is Ra.

Every day there is a waxing, full, waning and new phases for the Sun besides the seasonal changes. From sunrise to noon is the waxing phases, the full phase is from 11:55 AM to 12:05 PM, the waning follows until sunset is the new phase.

For the seasons spring is the waning, summer the full phase, fall is the waxing phase and winter the new phase.

This idea and the phases may seem a bit strange to people but when the Moon is in the wrong phases for something I cannot wait to do I use the daily and if possible the Sun phases. This gives me more options of what I need to do.

(One Person’s View Point) Solar Witch: How to Cast SUN MAGICK in 11 Ways

All these witches be talkin’ about the moon. Moon phases, rituals and moon water. But what about the witches who prefer the sun? Do they exist? Yes, we do! I know because I’m one of them. If you feel empowered by the sun more than the moon, you might be a solar witch. And if you’d just like to incorporate more sun magick into your practice, we’ve got you covered!

A Solar Witch & The Sun’s Magick

What makes the sun magical? Is it the same type of magick as the moon? The sun fuels all life on this planet. While the moon has a huge effect on us, and pulls the tides, I’d venture to say the sun is more important. If I had to choose one. (Lunar witches don’t be mad at me!) The sun is necessary for many reasons including the growth of plants and trees, for our own physical and mental health, and to keep our planet warm and alive! Sun = LIFE.

11 Ways to Make SUN MAGICK

The way the solar witch makes sun magick is only limited by imagination and inspiration. Forge your own path, but if you need ideas:

1. Sunbathing

2. Magical Timing With the Sun

3. Sun Water

4. Sun & Fire Plants

5. Seasons & Sabbats

6. Sun Magick with Colors

7. Sun Tea

8. Solar Plexus

9. Sun Salutations

10. Sun Arts, Crafts, and Cooking

11. Solar Deities for the Solar Witch

• An item in sympathy with the spell that you are casting

You can also add the health, wealth, and success philter to this spell if you wish. Just anoint the spell candle with the solar-powered oil you have created.

What exactly is an item of sympathy? It is any item that is sympathetic to what you are working for. Since this is a job-related spell, an item in sympathy could be your recent paycheck stub, ID badge, or your business card. So, with that thought in mind, adding this sympathetic item to your other correspondences only helps to unify the magick. It does this by uniting the energies and giving you something very specific to focus on.

Arrange your items in front of the candle. If you wish, anoint the spell candle with the philter. Now, light the spell candle and focus on the cards and your item of sympathy, pathy, and then repeat the spell below three times. Check out the last line of the spell and adjust this as necessary.

Just like the golden child who rides under the sun
I call for recognition of a job well done
This spell candle illuminates my way
Bring success and wealth to all my days
Goddess, bless my ambitions, they are fair and true
While this higher career goal/promotion I do now pursue.

Close the spell by saying:

For the good of all, with harm to none
By the sun and stars, this spell is done.

Let the candle burn until it goes out on its own. Keep the carnelian in your pocket or purse, and the cards and your item of sympathy together and on your person for one week, until the following Sunday.

Six of Wands – Minor Arcana

Success after hard work.

A woman with a small dragon on her shoulder stands with a crown on her head. A five-point star is centered on her forehead, directly over the spiritual third eye. This symbolizes the woman’s connection with spiritual guidance and her access to ancient knowledge. Before her is a table covered with rolled scrolls, quill pens, and other magickal equipment. Prominently to the front is a brass vase holding six crystal topped wands. Other small dragon fly and sit about the room. The star (pentacle of protection and a symbol of the Goddess) and the crown (spiritual enlightenment) reveal that this magician is on a higher path of life. She has gathered her will power (the wands) and placed them in a position to bring about fertility an manifestation (the vase). This fertile energy is repeated in the Celtic scrollwork carved into the table, the magician’s center for working her will.

Divinatory Meaning: You are rewarded with success after hard work. A message of good news brightens your day. There could be advancement in career. Supportive friends give you the courage to follow your dreams.

“Music is essential to your healing and well-being, whether sing, playing an instrument, or listening”

In order to diagnose their patients, one of the questions, that shamans often asked was when the patient stopped singing. If it had been quite some time, the shaman was certain to recommend sing (among other remedies) as an essential aspect of recovery. All that’s involved when you sing — the fullness and rhythm of your breathing, the opening of your mouth and jaw, and the soulful and creative expressions of your spirit — serves to enhance your health and raise your vibrations.

Similarly, playing an instrument can touch those inner creative depths that yearn to be expressed through song. Simply Listening with your full attention to you favorite tune or melody can also inspire and heal. Make music as essential to your lifestyle as eating and breathing.

You can breach the inhibitions about expressing yourself musically that you’ve acquired over the years in some very simple and easy ways: Sing, chant, or play an instrument! Take a few voice lessons as a means to shore up your confidence. Let the magical child inside help you rediscover the joy of creating music. Dive in and play!

Associations: Singing; Breathwork; Sound Healing; Sensitivity; Alchemy; Ancestral Wisdom; Creativity; Inner Depths; Insight; Healing; Release; Guardianship

The Moon phase for March 10th, 2026 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

Fun fact:

Phase: Waning Gibbous

Moon age: 20.51 days

As a Pisces born on March 9th

 Astrological symbol: Fish. The sign of the Fish represents people born February 19 – March 20, when the Sun is placed in Pisces. It describes the ambivalence of the spirit and the versatility around.

 The Pisces Constellation with visible latitudes between +90° to -65° and the brightest star Van Maanen’s, is one of the twelve zodiac constellations. It is spread on an area of 889 sq degrees between Aquarius to the West and Aries to the East.

 The name Pisces is the Latin name for Fish. In Greece, Ihthis is the name of the sign for March 9 zodiac sign, while in Spain is Pisci and in France Poissons.

 Opposite sign: Virgo. This is important because it reflects upon the courtesy and orderliness of Virgo natives who are thought to be and have everything those born under the Pisces sun sign want.

 Modality: Mobile. This suggests the thinker nature of people born on March 9 and that they are a symbol of harmony and eccentricity.

 Ruling house: The twelfth house. This house governs mobility of cycles and perpetual renewal. It also suggests strength and rejuvenation that come from knowledge. Recycling and turning life around at one point after thorough analysis.

 Ruling body: Neptune. This planet is said to govern over excitement and modesty and also reflects the unicity inheritance. Aquamarine helps facilitate the energy of Neptune.

 Element: Water. This element makes things boil in association with fire, it’s vaporized by air and models things in combination with earth. Water signs born on March 9 are flexible, gifted and ingenious.

 Lucky day: Thursday. As many consider Thursdays as the most simplified day of the week, it identifies with the humoristic nature of Pisces and the fact this day is ruled by Jupiter only strengthens this connection.

 Lucky numbers: 4, 5, 12, 14, 26.

 Motto: “I believe!”

 People born on March 9 seem to have the life of an artist or at least crave for it. They appreciate fine arts and know how to keep themselves entertained. They try to surround themselves with interesting and elegant people to whom they can look up to and from whom they’ve got something to learn. They can sometimes be overcome by their selfish tendencies and isolate from others but most times they are friendly and highly imaginative.

 Positive Traits: Good natured and ingenious, these natives have a deep accepting of life and although when they are young they might appear as adventurous and reckless, with age they reveal how perceptive they really are. They are altruistic and utopian and often prefer to take just the good part from the people they come in contact with and just work with that ignoring the down sides.

 Negative Traits: Gullible and utopian, these natives seem to notice a lot of signs everywhere and prefer to believe that things will arrange themselves in the end without too much involvement from their part. They are indifferent and contradictory and often prefer to play the victim, amassing the attention and support of those around them. But they never seem to give anything in return and some people already deem this as nerve wrecking and can’t take it any more. They are fickle, moody and act like drama queens in a lot of respects.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on March 9 are versatile and enthusiastic. Their love life is all about dating and meeting new and exciting persons and they avoid commitment at all costs. However, if they do get struck by love they start behaving like the most loyal and romantic fool in love. They are attracted to mysterious, sensual and energetic persons who can keep up with their crazy lifestyle. Intuition usually helps them surround with only the best of people and they are rarely wrong about one’s character.

 Their love life is rather hectic and unpredictable because they tend to be in and out of love quite easy and for no particular reason. They find it hard to connect to a deeper level with one person. For them, relationships and settling will probably be a complex matter but once they decide to have their own family they will turn out to be very protective and patient. They are most compatible with those born on the 3th, 5th, 6th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 21th, 23th, 24th and 31st. March 9 Zodiac people seem to be most attracted to the other water signs: Cancer and Scorpio as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Pisces is in a permanent search for someone who can support and offer a stable environment and the most suitable to offer them this is the native born under Taurus. The lover in Pisces is said to be least compatible with Aquarius. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Pisces, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: Turquoise is the color of preference for Pisces natives, especially those born under the March 9.

This hue denotes healing and fertility. This zodiac color is advised to be used in accessories and items of clothing.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS March 9, you make many sacrifices. You get so involved with people that you think you can read their minds or feel what they are feeling. Your intuition and sensitivity are what defines you as a Pisces born on March 9.

Although Pisces, you have the gift of psychic abilities, you use it only when someone needs your assistance. You feel truly blessed to be able to enrich somebody’s life. You enjoy having this attribute. You will not use it for material gain, however.

Your birthday personality shows that this ability to “see” a situation forthright gives you joy and pleasure. Other times, you feel like this emotional boomerang. Having this gift has its pros and cons. It is mentally draining to have many burdens laid at your footstep. You want to help but some times, it can be overwhelming.

The March 9th birthday horoscope shows that your natural zeal puts you in the best situations to meet people although some Pisceans born on this day are shy, sensitive and at times, are withdrawn. But you don‘t stay this way forever.

You continue to carry out your daily duties as usual. You have too much to do to wallow in self-doubt. If today is your birth day, you realize you have to take care of your emotional needs in order to be effective or give your best to anyone else.

The 9 March birthday meaning predicts that you who are born this day are great conversationalists. You are expressive which makes it even better. These are two more of your desirable traits. You are loving and supportive of your close friends and family members.

You can count on them to be there for you as well. There is something about you though Pisces. You are the first to know when something is wrong with one of them. You can feel it. When it comes to your intuition, there is no fooling you.

If it is true that all Pisceans are loving, then they broke the mold when they made you. Once a Piscean has found someone special, you will be a faithful and compliant lover. You will give all of yourself to someone worthy of a royal pampering.

The March 9 birthday Pisces loves putting together romantic get-a-ways. Someone of a timid nature will not be suited for this Pisces. Your birthday astrology analysis shows that you have wild and vivid imaginations.

If most Pisceans could combine all their talents into a profession, they would make excellent troubleshooters or mediators. You love helping people. Your dedication to the cause deserves a reward. You have the mind of a creative genius. There are limitless possibilities when it comes to career options.

As a possible profession, those born on this day could be an attorney, veterinarian or bottom line, anything he/she so desires. Money is not necessarily the value that binds you to maintain a position, but rather reaping the benefits of those that were fortunate because of you.

If you have a March 9 zodiac birthday, you may be concerned with your diet. However, you can cook a delicious organic meal that even the master cooks would be proud. Pisceans look to meditation and the power of positive thinking to remain consistent in projecting a disciplined level of fitness.

You use quality products to ensure effectiveness when comes to what you put in your body. Although it is not healthy to eat a lot of red meat, you may have one glass of red wine with dinner. It will help you relax and sleep better.

When it comes to family values, your birthday traits show that you want to extend the institution of being a devoted parent to your children but somehow, some Pisceans missed the boat. Those born on March 9 are likely to have experienced struggles as a child.

Therefore, when it comes to parenting, you may like to take a more laissez-faire approach to nurturing. Perhaps the other parent should be the disciplinarian. To be honest, Pisces, you find it hard to train your children. Being indifferent today can cause a big modification later in life. Meet the challenge, Pisces born on March 9.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

To me my personal soul contract was found by doing shadow work. I strongly suggest if you are going to do shadow work that you do it with someone you trust 100% as looking at your shadows can bring up some pretty scary things from this and past lifetimes.

If you want to see information on any tradition of witchcraft, herbs, flowers, a Goddess or a God, or anything pertaining to any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and positive things!

Information About the Moon and the Sun In Magickal Practice

Something to me that gets over looked often is the place the Sun has in pagan/witchcraft traditions. There are many spells better done during the day rather than at night. I personally always do protection spells during the day as negative entities are weaker than and the Sun can and does help make this type of spell stronger in my experience.

The Sun has phases just as the Moon does. Where the Moon phases go on a monthly basis the Sun’s phases are daily. So I decided the topic of informationally posts this week will be about the Moon or Sun in witchcraft. I find the differences in working spells and/or rituals during the day rather than at night can make a spell and/or ritual either stronger or weaker.

If there is a specific Sun and/or Moon Goddesses and/or Gods you would like me to post more information about please leave the deities name or names in a comment on this post.

(One Person’s View Point) The Sun in Pagan Traditions

The sun has been a central figure in Pagan beliefs and practices for millennia. As the source of light, warmth, and life, it holds profound significance in many Pagan traditions. During the Summer Solstice, or “Midsummer”, Pagans celebrate the peak of the sun’s power and its vital role in the cycle of life.
