JUN. 24: TEMPLAR HOLY DAY. In the Roman calendar this day was thought to be Summer Solstice. The Church renamed this pagan holiday to St. John the Baptist Day. Templars revered it highly. On Jun 24, 1314 a mysterious band of knights joined Robert the Bruce of Scotland on the battlefield making his victory at Bannockburn possible. These knights could only have been the a troop of disbanded and now in-hiding Templars who had fled to western Scotland. St. John’s day was used by Freemasons in 1717 to found the first public (non-Scottish) Order of Freemasonry in London. Masonic teachings are said to descend from the esoteric Christianity of Templarism. St. John the Baptizer was beheaded because he wouldn’t give in and sacrifice his principles. This is a Templar ideal, as is the constancy and regularity — order out of chaos — of the solstices and equinoxes. So for both reasons, Christian and “pagan,” we observe this day.

January 1, 2023 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM EST today (4:30 AM to 9:30 AM PST). After that, the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today it’s easy to emotionally identify with your possessions, which is why you may be less willing to part with something or lend it to someone. You might also feel you have to defend yourself about something where there is really nothing at stake.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which will heighten your emotions. It will also create a greater need in you to belong to or relate to friends and loved ones today. The good news is that it tends to make you a little luckier than everybody else. Ask the universe for a favour.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a random date in the calendar. You don’t have to go out and paint the town red. It’s alright to stay home and hunker down. The reason I say this is because you don’t really feel much like socializing today. That’s quite alright. Relax.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A number of people are making a lot of demands on your time now. You’re busy with partners, close friends as well as groups, clubs and organizations. A female colleague might figure prominently in your plans today. Is this a time for a frank discussion?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For two days every month, the Moon is at the top of your chart bringing your focus to professional and business concerns. It calls attention to you. In fact, some people will be aware of personal details about your private life. Do you need to do some damage control?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you have an urge for a change of scenery. You want a chance to do something different that’s adventurous and exciting! Tread carefully because several other things might create some difficulties. Don’t be too ambitious. Just take baby steps today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The placement of the Moon today will draw your attention to financial matters, inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Family discussions about old business, especially about property or home repairs are likely today. Go gently because people will be defensive. (It is what it is.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

For two days every month, the Moon will sit opposite your sign. When this occurs, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. You have to be cooperative and ready to compromise. Today is one of those days. (No biggie.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you will have to put your own emotional considerations second to the demands of someone else. You might have to work for someone or perform a service for them. Nevertheless, this can be a gratifying experience. When we show kindness to others, we like ourselves more.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Romance might be more meaningful for you today because the Moon is sitting in the part of your chart that has domain over romance, fun, social occasions and all things creative. You might also be involved with children more than usual today. If so, you might feel overprotective.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you will enjoy the luxury of retiring to some place so that you can feel private and enjoy your own solitude. It’s the perfect time to go off by yourself and do a little navel gazing. You might see how strongly your habits control your life.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

When talking to others today, you want a real connection with them. That’s why you will feel frustrated if the conversation is superficial. You want to get right down to the nitty-gritty of something and share it with someone. Real feelings. Real facts.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Lance Reddick (1962) shares your birthday today. You are highly individualistic and always choose to walk to March to the beat of your own drum. You are friendly and value your relationships with others. Simplicity is the key to life this year. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise is important. Stay grounded and levelheaded.

Benefits of Casting a New Year’s Eve Protection Spell, Tips for Making the Most of Your New Year’s Eve Protection Spell, and Common Mistakes to Avoid When Casting a New Year’s Eve Protection Spell

From eclecticwitchcraft.com

Benefits of Casting a New Year’s Eve Protection Spell

Casting a New Year’s Eve Protection Spell can provide many benefits. It can help to create a safe and secure environment for the coming year, allowing you to focus on your goals and dreams without fear or worry.

The spell also helps to purify and cleanse any negative energies that may be lingering from the past year, allowing you to start fresh in the new year.

Additionally, this spell can help to open up your intuition and raise your vibration, allowing you to better connect with the Universe and manifest your desires. Finally, this spell can help to protect you from any negative influences or energies that may be present in the coming year.

Tips for Making the Most of Your New Year’s Eve Protection Spell

Once you have cast your New Year’s Eve Protection Spell, there are a few tips to help you make the most of it:

  1. Take a few moments each day to visualize the protective shield of light surrounding you and your space.
  2. Speak aloud your intention for the spell each day, reinforcing its power.
  3. Carry a small piece of salt with you as a reminder of the protection that the spell provides.
  4. Spend time in nature to connect with the elements and draw on their energy for protection and renewal.
  5. Make sure to take time for self-care and relaxation, as this will help to keep your energy balanced and protected.
  6. Call upon planetary energies for additional protection and guidance. Planets that can offer energy and protection in the new year are Jupiter, Saturn, and the Moon.
  7. Finally, remember to thank the Universe or the gods for their protection and guidance.

By following these tips, you can make sure that your New Year’s Eve Protection Spell is working to its fullest potential.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Casting a New Year’s Eve Protection Spell

When casting a New Year’s Eve Protection Spell, it is important to be mindful of the common mistakes that can occur. One of the most common mistakes is not setting a clear intention for the spell. Without an intention, the spell will lack focus and power.

There are times when it can be tempting to rush through the spell, but it is important to take your time and focus on each step. This will ensure that the spell is done correctly and with the right amount of energy.

Protection spells are very powerful, but if you do things that put you into a spiritually weak position, your protections can become fragile. Be sure to stay aligned with your highest self in what you do magically. If your highest self wouldn’t curse someone for stealing your parking spot, you probably shouldn’t either.

Finally, it is important to remember that protection spells are not a substitute for taking practical steps to protect yourself physically. While the spell can help to create a safe and secure environment, it is still important to take precautions such as locking your doors at night or avoiding dangerous situations.

By following these tips and avoiding common mistakes, you can ensure that your New Year’s Eve Protection Spell is effective and powerful.
