Make magick for Midsummer with the abundant plants that are all around you. I’ve got 13 Herbs for Litha to help you honor the summer solstice.

The earth is at it’s most abundant at Litha, the longest day of the year. It’s been absorbing the sun’s rays as the days slowly grow longer, and this sabbat marks the peak of the sun’s power. Because of this, it’s one of the most powerful days of the year to collect herbs for your witchcraft practice.

Some say that Midsummer herbs should be collected skyclad (aka naked) and they should only be cut with a consecrated silver knife. Some say metal should never touch the plants. There are all sorts of myths and legends, but your witchcraft practice is your own, so do what’s right for you.

Herbs for Litha

Really, any herb that’s growing in summer is a Litha herb, but some are more traditionally tied to this sabbat than others. Don’t limit yourself, but if you’re not sure where to start, this should give you a good idea. There were nearly 30 herbs I found in just one book which correspond to Midsummer, but I’ve narrowed it down to some of the more common or easy to find herbs to make things easier for you.

Remember that if you’re foraging for herbs and botanicals to only take what you need, and never take more than 10% of a plant. You might also want to consider leaving an offering for the plant or connecting with its energy to thank it for its contribution to your thriving.

Chamomile – With powers of regeneration, protection, and peace, this herb also attracts money and luck, so you definitely want it in your apothecary. Use it in tea or other infusions.

Daisy – Tied to innocence and purity, this flower can be used in spells for true love.

Dill – Can be used for protection and cleansing, as well as clearing the mind.

Elder – Gather leaves on Midsummer morning and use the flowers to make cordials or liqueurs.

Fennel – A plant for courage, purification, and protection.

Heather – Can be used for protection and to draw in luck and money. Also helpful in working with fairies.

Honeysuckle – Use for divination, dreams, and love spells.

Lavender – The classic herb for peace and harmony, it can also be used for purification and cleansing and to enhance meditation.

Lime – Add to spells for healing, love, and protection.

St. John’s Wort – Use this herb for protection, especially to repel negativity. Also effecting in clearing and purification spells.

Strawberry – Tied to blessings, love, and fertility, there’s nothing sweeter than a freshly picked ripe summer strawberry.

Berries of the Mistletoe is very poisonous to humans and animals

Source: witchdom.com

As we lead up to Yule, I thought I’d extol the virtues of magical mistletoe. Some plants really have that feeling of magic, and mistletoe, for me, is one of them. When I moved into my current home, I was delighted to find a large ball of mistletoe in an old apple tree in the back garden. Mistletoe grows prolifically in the county where I live and the nearby counties. These are Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, and Somerset and these counties supply the rest of the UK. One town close to where I live has a mistletoe festival every December. Many trees have several balls of mistletoe attached to them and, in the winter, they become more obvious in the bare branches.

Mistletoe grows in a variety of trees. A hemi (partial) parasitic plant, it attaches itself to a host tree. It can often be seen in apple, hawthorn, sycamore, ash, poplar, and lime trees. Orchards are a more obvious place to find it. It is a poisonous plant, and the UK varieties are more so than the US varieties. The effects of the poison can be seen more in children and animals than adults.

Historical References

In his Complete Herbal, Culpeper says of mistletoe (“misselto”) that it is under the dominion of the Sun, but even though it “rarely” grows on oak, when it does it takes on the nature of Jupiter. From these two planets, I would say together they promote positivity, success, and good fortune, strength, wisdom, provide protection, represent the self, and have life-giving properties. You should also decide what they signify to you. Therefore, if you find it on oak then you can double the magical qualities.

Culpeper also says he does not know why mistletoe takes on that nature of the oak (strength), above the other trees it grows on. However, he adds that mistletoe which grows on pear trees and…

The Fool – Major Arcana

The Fool Upright Meaning

Pamela Coleman-Smith’s artful rendition of The Fool in the Rider-Waite Tarot deck is often used to represent Tarot in general. Early classical versions of The Fool card, however, portray quite a different character — a person driven by base needs and urges, who has fallen into a state of poverty and deprivation.

In some earlier instances, The Fool is made out to be a carnival entertainer or a huckster. In others, he is portrayed as decrepit and vulnerable — as the cumulative result of his delusions and failures. Not until the 20th century do you see the popular Rider-Waite image of The Fool arise — that of an innocent soul before its fall into matter, untainted by contact with society and all its ills.

Modern decks usually borrow from the Rider-Waite imagery. Most Fool cards copy the bucolic mountainside scene, the butterfly, and the potential misplaced step that will send The Fool tumbling into the unknown. Don’t forget, though, that the earlier versions of this card represented already-fallen humanity, over-identified with the material plane of existence, and beginning a pilgrimage toward self-knowledge and, eventually, wisdom. The Fool reminds us to recognize the path of personal development within ourselves — and the stage upon that path where we find ourselves — in order to energize our movement toward deeper self-realization.

The Fool Reversed Meaning

When the Fool card is reversed, you are encountering an unfinished side of yourself, a part still caught in the shadows of ignorance or immaturity. An emotional reflex or psychological attitude could be holding you back from responding authentically and naturally.

Release yourself from any dogmas or taboos so your natural truthfulness and instinct for right action can be restored.

Thurisaz Giant

Thurisaz has a few different translations. In the Old Norse, it translates to “giant.” But, in the Old English, it translates to mean “thorn.” In divination, it’s indicative of an intense change or, sometimes, danger. It represents a powerful, disruptive force that shakes things up, similar to the lightning that Thor controls with the Mjolnir.

Keywords: disruption, change, destruction, obstacle clearer, wildness, lust, rage

Hexagram Twenty/20

Wind over Earth

The meaning of hexagram number 20 is meditation and contemplation, but the visual significance is that of a tower with a broad view which enables one to meditate on the wider landscape rather than immediate events. An additional meaning of this tower is that the tower itself can be seen for many miles, suggesting “an example” being set for others. This is a time to reflect carefully on what has gone before, and what is happening now in a broader sense. Decisions made at this time will be witnessed by many.

Numerology

Seven

The number 7 is both deep and wise. It is not satisfied with simple explanations and surface-level information — this is frivolous stuff. It knows that the real gold is buried deeper and won’t stop until it finds it … and then it’ll keep digging for more. Asking questions, researching, listening, and sensing are all special skills the 7 uses in its search for awareness.

Though spirituality is especially important to the number 7 in Numerology, it takes a more intellectual approach to life than an emotional one. It is an analytical number that enjoys gathering and filtering through information to find answers. Still, it has a more powerful intuition than you might expect which it uses as a guide. This combination of conscious and subconscious thinking allows the mind of the Numerology number 7 to shine a light into the very deepest realms to access hidden truths.

Strengths of the number 7

Spiritual: The 7’s understanding that there is always something deeper, something more we can’t see, instills in it a great sense of spirituality. While religion is too limiting for this boundless number, a very personal, intellectual connection to the spiritual world gives its experiences more mystery and meaning.

Curious: With infinite questions waiting to be answered, the world is an incredibly engaging place for the number 7. It finds interest in many topics and seeks to absorb as much knowledge and understanding as it can. Whether it’s practical or metaphysical doesn’t matter, the number 7 always wants to know more.

Analytical: The number 7 isn’t just an information sponge. While it is driven to take in all the data it can, its real strength lies in sorting through what it finds. Being able to separate what’s useful from what’s meaningless and identify fact from fiction helps the 7 stay on track and follow the most valuable wisdom.

Weaknesses of the number 7

Reclusive: The 7 spends most of its time deep in thought and study and doesn’t place much importance on the lighter side of life. Over time a lack of social involvement turns the 7 even further inward, limiting its life experiences and making it unable to forge new friendships and romantic connections.

Secretive: This number is more comfortable holding its cards close to its chest. It’s not that the 7 is trying to hide damaging secrets, it just doesn’t feel the need for everyone to know everything about it. The problem is, it’s impossible to connect with others in genuine way if you won’t ever let them see to the real you.

Suspicious: Because of its insatiable need to look below the surface, the number 7 may upset a good thing by making assumptions and accusations or digging for answers when there are none. It is always assuming there is more to the story, even when there really isn’t.

…

The Moon phase for December 18th, 2025 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:

5 Easy Decorating Ideas for Litha

Need some quick and affordable decorating ideas for Litha, the summer solstice? Here are some tips on how to bring the season into your home without breaking your bank account!

• Suns and Solar Symbols

The Litha sabbat falls on the longest day of the year – that means you have more hours of daylight on the summer solstice than on any other day, and that’s definitely worth celebrating! Solar symbols like suns and circles, gods eyes, Brighid’s crosses and sunwheels are all perfect representatives of this season – hang them on your walls and doors, or add them to your Litha altar. More »

• Fresh Blossoms and Blooms

By the time midsummer rolls around, our flower gardens are in full bloom. This is a time to gather up those blossoms and enjoy their beauty – collect an assortment of brightly colored flowers and bring them indoors to keep you company. Consider, especially, flowers in bright sunny colors like yellows and reds and oranges. Sunflowers, tulips, roses, tiger lilies, and black-eyed Susans are all associated with the sun at the height of its power.

• The Bounty of the Garden

In addition to fresh flowers, we’ve also got fresh produce rapidly filling our gardens. The sun brings warmth to the earth, which in turn brings new life to our plants. Harvest your midsummer fruits and vegetables, and leave them in bowls and baskets around the house. Some goodies, like onions and herbs, can be hung up to dry, which will allow you to enjoy the scents as well as the flavor.

Fire and Light

Carrying on the solar theme, Litha is a celebration of fire – after all, that’s what the sun is, right? Use big candles all around your home, in yellows and golds and other sunny colors. You can also string festively colored lights along your walls and windows, to bring that brightness indoors. For your outdoor decor, use a tabletop brazier or even Tiki torches to celebrate with flames and fire. More »

Litha is a time of opposites, between light and dark.Image by Alan Thornton/Image Bank/Getty Images

• Opposites

At Litha, the summer solstice, it’s the last day of the sun’s full power. For the next six months, darkness will begin to take over, growing stronger until Yule, the longest night of the year. At that point, the process will reverse once more and the light return. Decorate your home with symbols of opposites – fire and water, earth and air, darkness and light, yin and yang.

 

Litha Legends and Lore – Myths and Mysteries of the Midsummer Solstice

Litha Legends and Lore

Myths and Mysteries of the Midsummer Solstice

Litha, or Midsummer, is a celebration that has been observed for centuries, in one form or another. It is no surprise, then, that there are plenty of myths and legends associated with this time of year!

In England, rural villagers built a big bonfire on Midsummer’s Eve. This was called “setting the watch,” and it was known that the fire would keep evil spirits out of the town. Some farmers would light a fire on their land, and people would wander about, holding torches and lanterns, from one bonfire to another. If you jumped over a bonfire — presumably without lighting your pants on fire — you were guaranteed to have good luck for the coming year.

After your Litha fire has burned out and the ashes gone cold, use them to make a protective amulet. You can do this by carrying them in a small pouch, or kneading them into some soft clay and forming a talisman. In some traditions of Wicca, it is believed that the Midsummer ashes will protect you from misfortune. You can also sow the ashes from your bonfire into your garden, and your crops will be bountiful for the rest of the summer growing season.

It is believed in parts of England that if you stay up all night on Midsummer’s Eve, sitting in the middle of a stone circle, you will see the Fae. But be careful – carry a bit of rue in your pocket to keep them from harassing you, or turn your jacket inside out to confuse them. If you have to escape the Fae, follow a ley line, and it will lead you to safety.
Residents of some areas of Ireland say that if you have something you wish to happen, you “give it to the pebble.” Carry a stone in your hand as you circle the Litha bonfire, and whisper your request to the stone — “heal my mother” or “help me be more courageous”, for example. After your third turn around the fire, toss the stone into the flames.

Astrologically, the sun is entering Cancer, which is a water sign. Midsummer is not only a time of fire magic, but of water as well. Now is a good time to work magic involving sacred streams and holy wells. If you visit one, be sure to go just before sunrise on Litha, and approach the water from the east, with the rising sun. Circle the well or spring three times, walking deosil, and then make an offering of silver coins or pins.

Sun wheels were used to celebrate Midsummer in some early Pagan cultures. A wheel — or sometimes a really big ball of straw — was lit on fire and rolled down a hill into a river. The burned remnants were taken to the local temple and put on display. In Wales, it was believed that if the fire went out before the wheel hit the water, a good crop was guaranteed for the season.

In Egypt, the Midsummer season was associated with the flooding of the Nile River delta. In South America, paper boats are filled with flowers, and then set on fire. They are then sailed down the river, carrying prayers to the gods. In some traditions of modern Paganism, you can get rid of problems by writing them on a piece of paper and dropping them into a moving body of water on Litha.

William Shakespeare associated Midsummer with witchcraft in at least three of his plays. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth, and The Tempest all contain references to magic on the night of the summer solstice.

Enjoying the Holidays With Children – Make Reindeer Food for Yule c.2015

(SIDE NOTE: I love this recipe but make sure you do it somewhere in your home where if glitter falls it is not going to bother you when it still shows up in June even after repeat vacuuming or mopping)

Make Reindeer Food for Yule

If your family still gets visits from Santa Claus, it’s traditional to leave out a plate of cookies and some milk for him — after all, it’s hard work flying around the whole world in one night. But what about his reindeer? They do most of the work, so why not leave a treat for them too? You can scatter it on the lawn before your kids go to bed, or leave it in a bowl near the stockings.

Traditional reindeer food includes glitter with the ingredients.

Glitter is very pretty and sparkly, but it’s also a synthetic that doesn’t biodegrade. Instead, you can use other, earth-friendly ingredients to give your reindeer food some sparkle. Here’s what you’ll need:

Plastic baggies or baby food jars

Dried oatmeal

Chopped nuts

Raisins

Red and green sugar crystals

Ribbon

Cardstock

Place a scoop of oatmeal in each baggie or baby food jar. Add a handful of raisins, and then some sugar crystals. Shake well. Seal the bag or jar, and add a ribbon around the top. Print out a card that says:

Reindeer, Reindeer, pulling the sleigh,
We’ve left you something nice today!
Oats and raisins and sugar so sweet,
It’s a tasty reindeer treat!
Have a Merry Yule!

and attach it to the jar of reindeer food so you can share it with friends.

A Yule Story Just for Your Children – The Year’s Longest Night

The Year’s Longest Night

 

It was dark and cold within the middle of the forest. It was not a forest on this plain, but one in the hearts of our souls and in the chambers of our minds. Within the middle of this dark cold forest was a old log cabin blanketed by snow and frost. With in the cabin was a roaring fire and lighted candles, the cabin was warm and dry and full of warm animal furs spread about on the floor and bed. The cabin smelled of pine and spices and a touch of warm rum.

The old women sat at the dressing table looking into the mirror slowing brushing her long white hair. The Crone’s hands were pale and wrinkled and her face as pale and cold as the snow outside. She closed her eyes and breathed in the smell of pine from the tree she had brought in from the winters cold and the incense burning and smoking on the Yule log gave her soft warm visions. The Crone saw her future; she saw her hair turning a light brown and her eyes giving off a bright twinkle. Youth would return and the Wheel would turn and spin–turn and spin. With her hands still brushing through her hair she saw herself young again a Maiden–waiting to dance with the young Lord Bright Sun/Son and Lord of the Dance.

Mama Crone saw her Maiden belly swell with life and as the Mother gave birth to the spring– to flowers and trees and animals and to the very heavens gave it a new shine. This future was to be soon, but not too soon. The longest night must come and Winter must play it’s self out as the Sun grows stronger day by day. The Dark Mother looked to her crown of thorns and bones and in her mind’s eye saw the green of spring a yellow of flower spring from it. The Old One rose from her chair and thought “not yet” and put on her crown of thorns and bones and pulled her cloak closed and pulling up the hood tight around her face she went to the cabin door. She pushed open the door and went to the forest clearing taking slow steps chanting as she walked and sat by a prepared bon fire. Mama Crone sat in front of the fire and slowly rocked calling to the Sun–calling to the Light Of The World to return–calling for the new beginning to come and the new cycle to come–the wheel to spin– the seasons to move–the dark to retreat and the light to come. The blessings to come.

May in the forest of your heart the old cry out to the new the old change with the coming Sun–the coming of the new. Blessings called from your heart for yourself and others. Cry out to the new with hope and prayers and good tidings. Blessings to you and yours in this season of joy and change.

Yules Lessons from Days of Yore: Perfect Love, Perfect Trust

Yules Lessons from Days of Yore: Perfect Love, Perfect Trust
Author: Morbek

This is the season to celebrate! Over one third of the people on our planet celebrate the birth of a God around winter solstice. Point-two percent of the world’s population celebrate a major holiday of light during this time and twenty-two percent of our brothers and sisters in the family of man have a celebration of new beginnings and, a week or so later, another holy day, which commemorates freedom. All of this celebrating occurs around the Yuletide season. For Wiccans and Pagans, we celebrate the birth of the God and the waxing of his power as the days from Yule will get longer which leaves the night less frightening because it is getting shorter and less intimidating.

So, why even think about other religions during our holy season of Yule? I can sum it up in two words… Available Energy! With all the positive vibes roaming around think of the amazing magic that can happen if we harness and direct that energy for the good of our home. Well over half of mother Earths population considers this time of year sacred and, in western countries; those that are not religious still exude positive energy due to the consumer driven need to present gifts to one another in the spirit of Santa. That is a lot of people putting out positive vibrations!

Merry making is, indeed, infectious. Think of the community events, the parties that are held both in our workplace and our homes, the carols that are played twenty four seven by various media outlets, decking the halls and dressing up our pets that goes on in our culture. I will diligently search every year (and then be sure to watch) for Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and A Charlie Brown Christmas because it’s not the same on DVD as it is on commercial TV. The deeply held traditions anyone who celebrates during the Yule tied season adds a type of power boost to the energy already being exuded into the environment.

Do I feel that we should greedily gather up all of this energy and use it for our selfish ends? Absolutely not…no way! That point may be moot anyway. A great deal of the sentiment in our surroundings is that of giving and loving nature. I would be hard pressed to manipulate it so that it would become egocentric. I am a lazy person by nature and that sounds to me like way too much work just to attain something that I could have acquired with other magic or by simply going to a store. The attempt would leave me way too exhausted to trim the Yule tree. What, then, do I think we should do with it and why?

Let’s examine the basis of the season and discuss what drives human beings to celebrate our planets personal star’s return into our lives. The apparent reason for the season is the New Year aspect. Back in the day, thousands of years ago when knowing the seasons was a matter of life and death for the entire group, not just an individual, people had to know when the shortest day of the year was so that they could allocate their remaining resources in order to survive until mother Earth, once again, shared her bounty with all. But there must be more to it than that. After all, in a season where ancient man had to be frugal out of necessity, traditions of benevolent works arose and persist to this day!

From an anthropologic point of view, we could discuss all manner of reasons for this to be occurring but the most likely one is, in my mind, the need to draw closer to each other. We need love and acceptance. What better way to foster those emotions in others than by kindness? I expect that when humans were still nomadic or just beginning to settle into an agricultural lifestyle, kindness was a rare commodity. I find it hard believe that (wo) man didn’t desire to be kind; I just don’t think that there was a lot of time and opportunity to exhibit philanthropically motivated deeds. Life was short and hard what with procuring food and water, internal and external tribal struggles as well as trying to understand the greater world around an individual.

In a time of meager reserves, giving to another from what is essential rather than what is surplus without expecting payment of any kind would be seen as the ultimate act of perfect love and perfect trust. The act would have made a deep impression upon the receiver and any bystanders in the immediate area. It would have caused quite a commotion and, as we all know, humans love to gossip. There is no way that anyone can convince me that thousands of years ago, even before the advent of the city, (wo) man didn’t enjoy telling and retelling of an event that profoundly touched them. Every time the story was told, the original emotions were felt and the deed was imprinted a little deeper into the person’s psyche. The next thing you know, that person is committing similar acts of kindness and the circle begins again.

In order for my theory to be valid, one must recognize that there is an inherent and ancient respect for the concepts of perfect love and perfect trust. The people that walk upon this planet have known for millennia that if you live by those philosophies, you will live a wonderful life filled with more joy than sorrow.

Back to all that mirth filled energy! If you intend to do something for our world this Yule, as I do, take hold of as much of that joyous stuff as you can handle and visualize healing. Our planet needs to be healed from pollution, over grazing from stock animals and way too much concrete and blacktop. The animals that are supposed to continue evolving need healing in order to adapt and progress along the paths that are intended for them. They need proper habitat and to be untouched, as much as possible, by the hands of (wo) man. Last but not least, the amazing creatures that can ponder the problems and devise solutions need healing as well. Humans are struggling to become more than just a flesh sack that reacts to stimuli.

I have noticed throughout the years that spirituality is becoming, more and more, a central focus of many of my brothers and sisters in this very large family. The wounds that need healing are immense gashes in our spirits: fear, jealousy, hypocrisy, greed and loneliness. Those wounds lead to behaviors such as; addiction, selfishness, emotional pain that must be countered with physical pain and a worldwide economy that is in such a horrific state of hopelessness that the innocents among us are the ones who are paying the price. And that price is very high! It includes hunger, illness, illiteracy and homelessness. Saddest fact of all: Our children are the ones who are paying the largest percentage of that bill.

That list has been around for as long as we have been able to acknowledge ourselves as spiritual beings in a material world. We strive, generation after generation, to lessen the effects that those infections of the soul have on our lives. Now, with a little help from the witches, that healing can begin in earnest because the available energy that we will be using is already imprinted with the best desires that we have deep within ourselves.

Feel the amazing power that surrounds us this time of year, remember that it is borne from perfect love and perfect trust, visualize what you believe to be remedies for a planet and its’ inhabitants who are ill and send all of that imprinted energy out into the universe to work the amazing miracles that we know are just waiting in the wings for someone who respects, understands and strives to live within the construct of perfect love and perfect trust to give those miracles the cue to enter the stage and start dazzling all of us with the healing and understanding that we all need.

May you have a blessed Yule Tide season!

Tarot Card

The Star – Major Arcana

The Star represents a strong connection to the Cosmos, an open gateway to understanding “the big picture.” It is an optimistic card that promises peace, harmony, and hope realized. For the full power of the forces behind The Star to be realized one must have faith and accept that in cosmic terms all things balance out; that disturbances are sometimes necessary to ensure overall harmony. The reward for such faith is vision on a Cosmic scale, and sense of well-being that may well radiate to those around you through your warm, untroubled heart.

The Moon

Keywords: Change.

Meanings: The “x” marks represent the four main phases of the moon and so you can expect changes to happen within the next 28 days. This is a particularly feminine stone and often appears in response to questions about women’s issues. The Moon rune is a messenger. It is telling you to be aware that major changes are coming to your life. Consult the runes closest to it to determine whether those changes are negative or positive.

Ogham

Huathe-Hawthorn

The Celts often believed the hawthorn to be a portal to the Otherworld. The hawthorn is a hardy plant commonly used for hedges and great firewood. It can even be an invasive species at times. The key points to remember with the letter Huathe are obstacles, walls, and obstructions. Its ability to form a natural wall gives the diviner an idea in what this symbol can mean to them and their lives.

Fortune – To overcome obstacles and walls you must make a personal sacrifice, to gain we must lose something of ourselves!

Six

…

Positive qualities

The main virtue of the Six is true humanism and truly cordial attitude towards people. You can be a liquidator working for the government, or even a tax inspector, but, at the same time, stick to your ideas that human life is sacred, and the right of freedom of expression is undeniable.

Seriously, you are a really kind and sympathetic person capable of giving away your last possession to those who need it most. Your loved ones know that you are the person they can count on, always and everywhere.

Negative qualities

Weaknesses of the Six are, in most cases, their virtues that got out of control. Defending a friend, you can be cruel and merciless to an enemy. Your willingness to sacrifice your own interests for the sake of others may give rise to the desire for martyrdom, which is pride. The same is true about your confidence in the aptness of everything you are doing.

The latter can cause serious conflicts with the nearest and dearest. Ignoring all reasonable arguments, you can drive others crazy proving to them that you are interfering in their life and destroy their plans with the best of motives.

Basic meaning

Angel number “76” means that the path you are choosing is right and that if you keep going, you will seize the opportunity and gain success.

However, be aware that you can be negative yourself, so keep in mind that you are positive.

Angels are worried that negative feelings can make them more likely to think in the wrong direction and become more obsessed with their actual actions.

Understand that your destiny can change for the better with your heart.

December 17, 2025 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 December 17th, 2025 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:

Sagittarius people are usually altruistic, introspective and conscientious with the majority of people they know, unless someone lets them down. That’s when they turn the cold shoulder and move on. Those born under this sign are also funny and eager; they never seem to get any rest and are the spirit of every social situation.

 Negative Traits: Visionary but boastful, these natives sure don’t know how to lose and they can exhibit some farfetched choices when this happens.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on December 16 are romantic and passionate. As Sagittarius natives they aim high in all matters of life, therefore they are also very pretentious when it comes to love.

You can conquer the heart of Sagittarius if you check a lot of the items on their list of attributes their significant other should have.

 They’re a gentle and reserved lover that would rather suffer from unrequited love than fight to win the heart of the one they love. Their relationships are likely to grow on friendships as they need time to know the person that stays beside them. Despite the fact that they are friendly and a generally happy person it is quite difficult for them to settle for someone, probably because they are expecting things to happen instead of making them happen. They are most compatible with those born on 1st, 2nd, 10th, 11th, 19th, 20th, 28th and 29th. December 16 Zodiac people seem to be most attracted to the other fire signs: Aries and Leo as they tend to share the same vision of life.

DECEMBER 16 birthday horoscope predicts that you are a Sagittarius who smiles on demand at the sight of a camera. You’re not shy when it comes to the attention being directly on you. People come to know your reputation before they know you. They say you are amusing, friendly and you bring the sunshine wherever you go. You live life with a happy smile.

I bet you are invited to all the parties; probably first on the list! It seems as though you are at your best with an audience. This is just the quality you’ll need if you are considering a job in the media or one that needs a grouping of people.

The December 16 birthday personality is someone who knows how to hold an intelligent conversation or even discuss their deepest emotions and fears. You won’t find many like you. You have a great attitude and friends, family and business minds trust your judgment. You like what money can offer you, but at the same time, you plan to live a long time. You’ll need it in the long run, and you know that saving and investing can earn you a comfortable lifestyle.

Let’s talk about your friends and lovers. As the December 16 zodiac sign is Sagittarius, you are not an easy person to get to know. You may be a little intimidating or proud. A closed mouth is never fed! Don’t exclude those who love you, reach out to them when you need a hand. You feel the same way in relationships. You’re highly sexual beings, but when you’re not seeing anyone, you tend to keep to yourself.

The December 16 horoscope predicts that you can neglect your health. At least, you do as you please as you don’t like following rules on how or what to eat. You say, ‘enough with the daily requirements suggestions already.’ If it’s up to you, and it is, you will eat dinner at breakfast time and vice-versa.

Eating right and getting plenty of exercises will help you live longer and stronger, advises the 16th Sagittarius birthday meaning. Can you imagine winning a marathon at 70 years old? It’s possible. Exercise and the proper diet have more benefits than you know. It also relieves stress. Try an alternative lifestyle. You might turn out to love it and me for suggesting it.

As a means of employment, those born on this zodiac birthday, Sagittarius, are inventive individuals. You may have even started a profession of your own through a hobby or an idea you may have had. You know life is what you make it, but you don’t like setting goals, either. The future of person who born on 16 December can be rewarding provided they learn to have some focus in life.

As a rule, the December 16th astrology predicts that you don’t like being bossed around. You’d rather do your thing and let your gut instinct guide you in the direction that you think you should go. This is all well and fine but honey, you must plan for something if you are to accomplish anything. Let me tell you a secret. Life is too short to leave it in the hands of no one. Get on with Nike and “Just do it.”

Your friends and family members say this could be the reason why you get bored quickly. You don’t have anything to look forward to. You are creative. Why don’t you get away, do some traveling? Normally, this will give you a new perspective on things. As a career choice, the Sagittarius born today is capable of educating as a profession as well as consulting. Furthermore, careers in marketing could be a profitable decision, or you could choose one that will let you use your writing skills.

As success goes, you may have a different opinion of what it means as you are not a materialistic person at all. However, you’re somewhat the show-off. This December 16 birthday personality is private, and you will not tell people when you need help.

You’re stubborn, even with your health care professional. Imagine being stress-free because you can be if you eat right and exercise. While you may not be rich, this Sagittarius birthday person can be successful in their own right. When it comes to making a decision, whether it’s based on logical reasoning or your instinct, it’s all in your hands.

All Signs…

The big news this week is fiery Mars moves from fun-loving, breezy Sagittarius into business minded Capricorn. This will shift our focus from parties and socializing to work, career and getting stuff done. The last time Mars was in Capricorn was in January 2024. Actually, this journey of Mars in Capricorn is timely because the holiday season requires not only a light touch of shared joy, laughter and good times – it also requires focus, effort and crossing things off your To Do list. Mars will stay in Capricorn until January 23. I think that hectic times like this remind us of the wisdom of George Burns: “Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’ll feel pulled in two directions this week because three planets will make you want to travel and get outta Dodge. You want to explore and have fun! Ski slopes beckon. Rum and eggnog before a roaring fire. A new romance with someone “different” might be percolating on the back burner. However, the shift of your ruler fiery Mars to sensible, hard-working Capricorn will arouse your ambition, especially if you identify with a particular project you’re doing. It will be all systems go! Please be aware that your determination might create conflict with authority figures – parents, employers or bosses. Try to make your goals their goals or vice versa so that it’s a win-win.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week you’re more than usually concerned with money, shared property, taxes, debt, insurance matters and inheritances. (It’s a money month.) And the good news is that, money will come your way! This is a favourable time for financial negotiations because you can attract money through a spouse, a business partner or a financial institution. It’s an excellent time to seek out a loan or financial support. Meanwhile, fiery Mars has shifted signs, encouraging you to do creative intellectual work. You will defend your views! You will do something to expand your mind. You might be involved in legal battles. Pack your bags because you will travel.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

With the Sun, Mercury and Venus opposite your sign this week, your focus is on partners, spouses and close friends. (Note: you still need more sleep.) Mercury will increase communications between yourself and others, but you might have some minor disputes. Mercury will also help to clarify things. Venus will smooth things over in all your relationships because it will promote warm relations with everyone. Meanwhile for the first time in two years, fiery Mars has entered your Money House stirring up potential conflict about shared property and jointly-held resources, including inheritances. For example, you might disagree how to spend a fixed amount of money. What do you want?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’re in work mode, taking a hands-on approach to things. You’re also wired to do mental work as well, which is why you’re more attentive to details. Venus is supporting your desire to beautify your home for the holidays. (Venus can also promote flirtations with work colleagues. Some of which might blossom – who knows?) The big news is that for the first time in two years, fiery Mars is opposite your sign, which is a challenge. Mars can create tension with those who are closest to you; but on the upside, Mars will give you the courage to put your cards on the table. (Jus make sure you’re dealing with a full deck.) Speak your truth and do your best to keep the peace.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a playful week! Enjoy sports events, fun outings, socializing with others, and time spent with kids. You’ll enjoy using your mind for amusing past times – reading, writing and playing games; and you won’t feel you have to justify everything you do now with a practical motive. It’s easy to get along with others especially kids and romantic interests. Ironically, countering this (but really helping when you consider the season), Mars has just moved into a part of your chart that will make you work hard and get organized. Admittedly, you will work on behalf of others – but that’s the name of the game right now, isn’t it?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Home, family and your private life are your focus this week. Some of you are more involved with a parent. Many are having family discussions and doing home repairs. You’re also redecorating and doing things to make your home more elegant and gay because you want everyone (including yourself) to enjoy your surroundings. Guard against being lavish and spending too much money, which you might be tempted to do. For the first time in two years, Mars has moved into a playful part of your chart giving you permission to do your own thing. You’ll be like Popeye, “I yam what I yam!” Enjoy amusing activities. Be playful with kids. Romance will be hot and sexy. It’s a week of fun and pleasure!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a fast-paced, busy week full of errands, appointments and short trips plus, you’re talking to everyone. (This is because three planets are in your House of Communications making you eager to share your ideas.) This is not the time to settle down and relax. Your daily tempo is fast and you need intellectual stimulation! Venus will attract social opportunities to you and promote pleasant exchanges with others. You’ll enjoy the beauty of your everyday surroundings. Alas, what the large print giveth, the small print taketh away. This week’s shift of Mars brings increased chaos and activity on the home front. (Consider the season.) Do what you can to keep the peace and remember that patience is the antidote to anger.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week you’re focused on your assets. For example, you might look at what you own to determine if it’s an asset or a liability. (More than any other sign you can purge what you don’t need.) You might also use your assets to celebrate or throw a party or give others pleasure. It’s a great week for financial negotiations. (You’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.) You might buy beautiful clothes, jewelry and art objects. For the first time in two years, Mars is in your House of Communications, making you identify with your opinions. Beware of trying to provoke others. Don’t be defiant. Be nice to the little people.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This continues to be an energetic time for you with the Sun, Mercury and Venus in your sign. Ah yes, you are empowered! You’re eager to communicate with everyone. And you look good! (Buy wardrobe items for yourself because this will please you.) At this time, you’re in the enviable position of attracting what you need to you quite easily. However, you can be a big spender – we know this. On Monday, fiery Mars enters your Money House urging you to spend money because suddenly you seem to identify with what you own. Be careful about being extravagant and making purchases you will later regret. On the upside, Mars will also help you work hard to earn money. Ka-ching!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This week holds conflicting messages for you. There are three planets hiding in your chart, which means by extension, you want to keep a low profile and relax behind the scenes or work alone. You have that sense of waiting before your birthday arrives — so you’re taking this time to mentally and physically regroup. And rightly so. Nevertheless, for the first time in two years, fiery Mars enters your sign on Monday, bringing a very different influence! Mars wants to introduce activity into your life! Mars will inspire you to work hard! It will make you more of a fighter for your rights, because you’ll be in a warrior mode! The upshot? You might relax at home and take it easy – then slip into a phone booth and reappear, ready for anything!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

On Monday, Mars moves into a hidden part of your chart for the first time in two years. This might be a bit challenging because this placement can make you your own worst enemy. You might create a bad impression on someone without meaning to. Be aware of this. (It’s gone in six weeks.) Ironically, this is a popular week! Expect to hang out with younger people more than usual. Some of you might turn a platonic relationship into something romantic. This is a great time to socialize because you feel you want to establish who you are with friends and groups. What are their expectations? What are yours? This is a good week for team efforts.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You look fabulous because the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. Mercury will help you to make plans for your professional life, by promoting favourable discussions with bosses, parents and authority figures; while Venus will attract people who can help you run your professional life smoothly. Venus might also promote a romance with a boss or an authority figure. Meanwhile for the first time in two years, Mars will prompt you to formulate goals and actively pursue them. Your best option is to work with others. Coordinate your needs with the needs of someone else. Physical activities with friends, especially athletics – perhaps competitive – will appeal. You’re pumped!
