Spell for Today – Lodestone Love Spell

Lodestone Love Spell

Lodestone’s magnetic properties are used to draw love towards you and then keep that love close at hand.

Lodestones are believed to have genders, just like other living creatures. Their gender is determined by their appearance: the rounder looking ones are female, while the males are the more phallic looking stones.

Choose lodestones to match your desires, use one to represent yourself and another to represent the person you would like to draw into a romance.

 Choose a lodestone that represents you and soak it in ‘Come to Me Lover Oil’  Sprinkle it with magnetic sand and place it on the edge of a mirror

 Choose a lodestone that represents the person you wish to draw into romance.

 Soak this one in ‘Amor Oil’

 Sprinkle with Magnetic Sand and place it on the mirror, on the opposite edge of the first lodestone.

 Carve a candle dedicated to romance and dress it with ‘Lucky Lodestone Oil’

 Light it and focus on your wish for romance and move the two lodestones slightly closer to each other.

 Pinch out the candle

 Repeat this daily until the lodestones meet in the middle, and then allow the candle to burn all the way down.

Good Morning Planets from Chile

Explanation: On June 15, innermost planet Mercury had wandered about as far from the Sun as it ever gets in planet Earth’s sky. Near the eastern horizon just before sunrise it stands over distant Andes mountain peaks in this predawn snapshot from the valley of Rio Hurtado in Chile. June’s other morning planets are arrayed above it, as all the naked-eye planets of the Solar System stretch in a line along the ecliptic in the single wide-field view. Tilted toward the north, the Solar System’s ecliptic plane arcs steeply through southern hemisphere skies. Northern hemisphere early morning risers will see the lineup of planets along the ecliptic at a shallower angle tilting toward the south. From both hemispheres June’s beautiful morning planetary display finds the visible planets in order of their increasing distance from the Sun.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 2:30 PM to 6 PM EDT today (11:30 AM to 3 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Things are much cozier today. (Grumpy yesterday is gone.) While the Moon is in Capricorn, you are high viz. and people notice you, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. After it moves into Aquarius, (see Moon Alert), enjoy socializing with others!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you are a seeker looking for answers, and maybe even the truth with a capitol T. (Who knows where one will discover the meaning of life?) Later in the day, do be aware that people notice you, especially people in authority.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Things are pretty mellow today. However, they begin with the Moon in one of your Money Houses; therefore, be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert. (See above.) Later in the day, things are easy-going, fun and exploratory. You will thrill to new ideas!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Be prepared to go more than halfway today, while the Moon is opposite your sign. However, after it moves into Aquarius (see Moon Alert above), you will wrap up money matters, especially related to banking and shared property.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

As this day begins, you are keen to work hard and be efficient because you want results for your efforts. Nevertheless, during the Moon Alert, efficiency will wane and possibly disappear. (Just enjoy yourself.) Later in the day, a heart-to-heart discussion with someone will please you. “I concur!”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today begins with a playful vibe. (This is a much lighter day compared to yesterday.) A long lunch with a friend or a fun, social outing will delight. After the Moon Alert is over, you will roll up your sleeves and get busy. “Baby needs a new pair of shoes!”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Home, family and your private life are your priority this morning. In fact, some of you might want to cocoon at home for a good part of this day. However, once the Moon Alert is over (see above) – you’re ready to party! Make plans for a fun evening.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you’re eager to communicate your ideas because you have something to say. Be smart and be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert so that you do not agree to anything important or make an important appointment. Late in the day, home and privacy will appeal.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you’re focused on moneymaking ideas, cash flow and perhaps shopping. If so, be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert (see above). Late in the day, when the Moon Alert is over, short trips, appointments and conversations with others will appeal. Busy you!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have strong feelings about various issues today because the Moon is still in your sign. Always remember that for two days every month, when the Moon is in your sign, your luck improves! That’s the time to ask the universe for a favour. However, be aware of today’s Moon Alert. (See above.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a nicer day compared to yesterday. People are happier and up for some fun back-and-forth, which suits you just fine. Enjoy fun times and schmoozing with others. Sports events and playful activities with kids will appeal. By evening, you want to hide. (Need your rest.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A happier day! You will enjoy talking to others. You will also appreciate your daily surroundings more than usual. Home repairs and family discussions might also be on the books. Take it easy. After the Moon Alert is over, reach out and socialize!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Anna Cathcart (1003) shares your birthday today. You are forever youthful, persuasive and imaginative. You are quick-witted, articulate and sometimes sharp tongued. At times, you are guarded and keep your distance from others. This year is the beginning of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you, which means you must be courageous and ready to open any door!

Spell for Today – Fertility

EGG WISH SPELL FOR FERTILITY

“On an egg whose shell is brown or pink,
Sign these signs in grass-green ink.
[a simple sun, a male symbol, an encircled equilateral cross, a female sign,
then an upside-down 5-pointed star]
Bury it deep in an earth-filled pot,
Let this stand where the sun is hot;
Sow on its surface seeds of grass,
Water them well while nine weeks pass
Gather the crop, bind it with thread
Let it hang always above your bed

 

SACHET FOR THE EXPECTANT WITCH

To be used in the bath or as a dream pillow to soothe away the discomforts of pregnancy.

1/2 tablespoon lemon balm 1 teaspoon lemon verbena 3 tablespoons lavender
2 tablespoons rose petals 1 teaspoon mugwort 7 drops of pure jasmine oil

Mix together all of the ingredients in your cauldron or a wooden bowl.

Cut a three-inch square piece of light blue cloth (a natural fiber always works best). Place some of the herbal mixture in the center and tie up the loose ends with some matching yarn. While doing this, visualize the discomforts being soothed away. When you’re ready, either toss it into a warm bath or hide it in the batting of your favorite pillow (or, if you want it to stay your favorite pillow for very long, put it in your pillowcase) and you’ve got a special dream pillow. Pleasant dreams!

Strawberry Supermoon from China

Image Credit & Copyright: Jeff Dai (TWAN)

Explanation: There are four Full Supermoons in 2022. Using the definition of a supermoon as a Full Moon near perigee, that is within at least 90% of its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit, the year’s Full Supermoon dates are May 16, June 14, July 13, and August 12. Full Moons near perigee really are the brightest and largest in planet Earth’s sky. But size and brightness differences between Full Moons are relatively small and an actual comparison with other Full Moons is difficult to make by eye alone. Two exposures are blended in this supermoon and sky view from June 14. That Full Moon was also known to northern hemisphere skygazers as the Strawberry moon. The consecutive short and long exposures allow familiar features on the fully sunlit lunar nearside to be seen in the same image as a faint lunar corona and an atmospheric cloudscape. They were captured in skies over Chongqing, China.

In the Heart of the Virgo Cluster

Image Credit & Copyright: Saulius Adomaitis

Explanation: The Virgo Cluster of Galaxies is the closest cluster of galaxies to our Milky Way Galaxy. The Virgo Cluster is so close that it spans more than 5 degrees on the sky – about 10 times the angle made by a full Moon. With its heart lying about 70 million light years distant, the Virgo Cluster is the nearest cluster of galaxies, contains over 2,000 galaxies, and has a noticeable gravitational pull on the galaxies of the Local Group of Galaxies surrounding our Milky Way Galaxy. The cluster contains not only galaxies filled with stars but also gas so hot it glows in X-rays. Motions of galaxies in and around clusters indicate that they contain more dark matter than any visible matter we can see. Pictured here, the heart of the Virgo Cluster includes bright Messier galaxies such as Markarian’s Eyes on the upper left, M86 just to the upper right of center, M84 on the far right, as well as spiral galaxy NGC 4388 at the bottom right.

Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It’s a fact that patience is the antidote to anger. Remember this when dealing with parents and bosses today because you might want to lash out. However, this can often lead to regret. (“Did I just say that?”) Instead, be patient and let things cool down. All will be well.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because these are hot buttons, and today is a poor day to discuss anything touchy. Be smart and give these situations a wide berth. Instead, focus on moneymaking ideas, your cash flow and your possessions.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

With Mercury and the Sun in your sign now, you’re talkative and convincing! Nevertheless, disputes with others about shared property, bills, debt and banking issues could arise. Hello? You don’t need this. Steer clear of this and focus on physical athletics and fun competition.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Tread carefully today because disputes with others, especially authority figures, could ruin your day. Who wants this? Not you. You want to have a positive, happy day. Therefore, choose positive options. Don’t get involved in arguments. Don’t be critical of others. Stay chill.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Don’t get your belly in a rash today arguing with someone at work or about religion, politics and race. This is a bad day for any kind of conflict because things could get nasty. Wait for another day to state your case. (There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Parents must be patient with their kids today; and romantic partners must be patient with each other. Sports colleagues will also be tempted to fight. This is because today the Moon is at odds with fiery Mars, which makes people irritable, rash and hasty. Best to zip thy lip.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Domestic conflicts and arguments at home or with family members are likely today. Knowing this ahead of time, you can avoid nasty confrontations. Don’t even go there. Instead, focus on learning something new today. Perhaps you can make travel plans for the future?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Steer clear of friction and nasty arguments related to your work, a pet, or something to do with your health because these kinds of disputes will arise today. Fortunately, with Venus opposite your sign, you can charm everyone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Arguments about money or possessions might take place today with your kids or perhaps a romantic partner. But this is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon. Don’t give in to an urge to engage in disputes or be quick with a nasty retort. Take the high road. You’ll feel better.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which will always heighten your emotions. However, it will slightly increase your good luck, so go with that. Be smart and avoid arguments with family and relatives. Fortunately, relations with your kids are warm and friendly.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you will prefer keeping a low profile, even though you might be unhappy about something. In fact, your frustration might be that you are unhappy but you can’t speak up. (The worst!) Today your best option is to go along to get a lot. This is no biggie.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might find yourself at odds with a friend or a member of a group today, which is unfortunate because you want to get along with these people. Fortunately, Venus will save you by sweetening your words and helping you to see a win-win solution. (Especially about finances or something you own.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Rapper Ice Cube (1969) shares your birthday today. You are easy-going. You have a fine mind and intellectual interests. You are gifted and multitalented, which can be entertaining for others. You are generous and philanthropical. Because this year is the last year of a nine-year cycle for you, it will be a time of wrapping up things and finishing projects.
