Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You have clever, innovative ideas at work today. Perhaps, you will consider explore unusual or “alternative” related to your health? Admittedly, power outages, staff shortages, late deliveries and surprising events might take place today, which could catch you off guard. Stay tuned!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might be excited about sudden travel plans or the possibility to travel today. Likewise, surprising news related to publishing, the media, medicine or the law could interest you. Meanwhile, a surprise invitation to a social event might make your day! (Guard against accidents.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your home routine will be interrupted today. Someone unexpected might knock at your door. Possibly, a small appliance or minor breakage could occur. A family member might have surprising news? Something related to technology will intrigue you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

New places, new faces and new ideas are the theme for your day. This is because today you find it easy to think outside of the box, which means you will entertain doing different things and meeting different kinds of people. Write down your ideas no matter how far out they sound. (You might be on to something!)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Keep an eye on your money and your assets today because something unexpected could impact them. On the upside, you might find money. On the downside, you might lose it. Be safe and protect what you own from loss, theft or damage. Guard against impulse spending. (Be smart and keep your receipts.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with your ruler Mercury and unpredictable Uranus. This gives you a hyped, electrical energy, which will help you to dream up imaginative, creative ideas. You might spontaneously socialize with someone. “Let’s dance!” (A strong attraction might trigger a flirtation.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might choose to work alone or behind the scenes today because you feel a bit low key. Nevertheless, you will have innovative ideas about home repairs. You might also be surprised by a family conversation. Stock the fridge in case unexpected company drops by.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

An unexpected encounter with a friend or member of a group will please you today. The tempo is upbeat and people are full of innovative, unusual ideas, which intrigue you. (Possibly, you’re the one impressing others with your slant on things?) An unexpected short trip is likely.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

For various reasons, you might suddenly be high viz. today. People will notice you, especially authority figures and the police. (It’s good to know this in case you have to do some damage control.) Guard your money and possessions today. However, consider your moneymaking ideas.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today Mercury is in your sign dancing with the Moon and unpredictable Uranus, which makes you restless and impulsive. However, it will also stir up your mind so that you are capable of unexpected, genius-like ideas. Why not run something up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Double check banking details and anything to do with shared property, taxes, debt, insurance and something that you share with someone else because little glitches and surprises are possible today. This could mean a windfall or an unexpected loss. (Yikes.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an interesting day! You might meet someone who is unusual or someone close to you might introduce you to a real character. Possibly, you will be involved with younger, creative people in a group setting. Someone younger than you might cause you to rethink future goals? Be open to fresh ways of seeing something.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Michelle Dockery (1981) shares your birthday today. You have a strong sense of justice and fair play. You are optimistic, friendly and charming. You have a genuine concern for others. This is about service to others, especially family members. Therefore, you need to take care of yourself first to be of support to others. Time for a makeover?

Spell for Today – DISPELING SADNESS

From flyingthehedge.com

It is quite simple and can be used for any type of sadness but you need to make sure you are very specific. Please refer to my post on primal language to ensure you do not end up making things worse.

  1. Hold a white candle in both hands while you think of all your sorrows and the causes of them.
  2. Write these sorrows onto a piece of white paper, preferably in red ink but any will do.
  3. Anoint the page with honey and fold it up.
  4. Light the candle and use the flame to burn the note while chanting:
    “I give my sadness to the flames,
      The fire eats my grief and pain.”
  5. Bury the ashes when you are done.

Again, make sure you are very specific. Because my sadness is connected to my husband and I don’t want to dispel him, I made sure to not say he was the cause of the pain. Instead I said it was his actions and his hurtful words. Magic can work as much for you as it can against you if you aren’t careful.

I hope this will help clear some of the sadness in our home and that has been smothering me. We can’t move forward together if we can’t move past our pain.
What do you do to help manage your emotions?

Caution: Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 10:45 AM EST for the rest of the day (7:45 AM PST). The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a lovely day to schmooze! Because you want to travel, perhaps you’re talking to travel companions or people in another country? Either way, enjoy social activities, sports events and playful times with kids.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a feel-good day! You can cocoon at home with your favourite food and pamper yourself. Or perhaps, you want a little company? If so, this is a fine day and evening to entertain at home. Discuss travel or educational plans with a friend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’re pumped today because Mars is still in your sign (as it will be for the rest of year). This is an excellent day to converse and interact with partners, close friends and members of the general public. You have something to say and fortunately, others are willing to listen.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a tricky day. You will be tempted to pursue financial negotiations or spend money or shop. However, this is a poor day to do so! (See Moon Alert above.) Get your facts, or do window-shopping, but wait until tomorrow to act. (You’ll be glad you did.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with the Sun, which gives you a strong urge to socialize. Accept invitations to party. Enjoy lunch or Happy Hour with a friend. In particular, you will delight in playful activities with kids, sports events and anything to do with the entertainment world. Great date day!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful today. The reason you have to be cautious is your mind will be drawn to financial matters, shopping, wheeling and dealing and money negotiations.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a lovely day to socialize with others, especially close friends and partners. You might also choose to be involved in a group. Nevertheless, because there is a Moon Alert all day – don’t volunteer for anything. Don’t shop. (Except for food and gas.)
