Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

What a difference a day makes! You’re happy because you have a warm feeling in your tummy. Everything is improving at home; plus, romance and your social life look promising. Meanwhile, behind-the-scenes deals might make you richer! Keep an open mind and do not hesitate.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a completely feel-good day for you. This is a marvellous day to socialize with others, especially female companions. Group activities will appeal. Everyone’s happy to see your face – what’s not to like? Definitely, meet the gang at Happy Hour.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are in the public eye for some reason. In fact, people seem to know personal details about your private life. (Like, what’s with that?) Nevertheless, you look good! In fact, you appear prosperous and successful to others (even if you aren’t). Good press is everything.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you’re eager to do anything that will expand your horizons. You want to meet new people. You want to travel. You want to entertain new ideas and learn new things. Yes, you want to push the sides of the envelope! At least, try a new supermarket.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is an excellent day for business and commerce because the support that you need from others, financial or practical, will be forthcoming. Group feelings will be blessed. Bank and financial matters will go well. This is also an excellent day to do fundraising. (Cough it up.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a marvellous day to schmooze with friends and partners as well as members of the general public. People are happy to see you, and you’re glad to see them. In particular, group situations will thrive with joy and animation. Someone will encourage you to “think big.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Things will go beautifully at work today (or with whatever task that you set for yourself). In particular, group activities are blessed. Don’t hesitate to ask for help from others. Work-related travel is likely! Your confidence and optimism will make the day.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a fabulous day to schmooze! Accept all invitations to party. Extend a few yourself. Enjoy sports events, social diversions, the theatre, musical performances, romantic dates as well as playful activities with kids. Whatever you do – you’ll be happy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a marvellous day to entertain at home. Stock the fridge and invite the gang over! Any kind of gathering at your home will be a positive experience. In particular, you will enjoy hanging out with people from different backgrounds and different cultures. Grab this chance to learn something new and expand your world.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your sense of optimism is what empowers you today. “Build it and they will come.” It’s easy for you to have a strong belief in something and this is what is sustaining; and in fact, what will facilitate what happens next. Whether it is prayer or positive thinking – it works.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is an excellent day for business and commerce. Actions that you initiate and financial negotiations will almost certainly boost your income or lead to a financial benefit in the future. You might have to travel for work. Listen to ideas from other people – especially, unusual sources.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Jupiter, which makes you feel warm hearted, congenial and happy to be with old friends. Not only that, you are actually concerned about the welfare of others. Meanwhile this is an excellent time for any kind of group activity. Working together plus persuading others will bring the results you want.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Eve Hewson (1991) shares your birthday today. In many ways, you’re an imaginative dreamer. You are creative, open and honest. You are sometimes shy. This is a wonderful, fun-loving and social year for you. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit. Have fun but remember your goals. Old friends might reappear.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Friday you will be highly preoccupied by your health and by certain aspects in your lifestyle. Maybe you feel something is not ok and you want to go for a check up or maybe you figured you need to improve the way you eat in order to maintain your health.

There are solutions you can adopt and things you can change but you need to be motivated to do so.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This Friday you might feel like certain things around you are crumbling and that there’s nothing you can do to mend the current situation.

No matter how serious or how realistic your worries are, you should first of all share them with those whom are close to you because this might be one of those moments in which all you need is a helping hand.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

There might be some risk today for you to step on the wrong side with a person of authority in your life. This might refer to you being arrogant or saying something you shouldn’t say.

You should try to be as professional as possible at work and then, when leaving home, to leave all work talk behind. People are gossiping and you might lose points because of that.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you are strongly advised to keep to your own business and to try not to mingle too much with others.

Be discrete in regard of personal matters and also avoid dealing with the problems of others. This, of course doesn’t mean to deny any help if asked but it does mean to maintain a serious approach and not let yourself influenced by the worries of others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you might be seeking some consensus in regard to a personal issue. There might be the consequence of a previous conflict with your partner or just something that has been troubling you for some time.

Make sure you share how you feel but also keep to yourself the deepest things if you feel like your partner doesn’t understand you completely.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might get real caught in work, so caught as even to forget to go home or at least forget about certain plans you might have for tonight.

Make sure you stick to what is necessary and not tend to extra work because this might create some conflict at home and this is no atmosphere in which to begin the weekend. This might be a good time for spiritual endeavors.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Financially speaking, this is going to be a complicated day as the pressure might be rising. Maybe your partner wants something or the family has certain expectations in this regard.

Whether or not your earnings are ok in comparison with your spending, make sure you budget thoroughly and take everyone in consideration when doing so.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might feel the need to step aside for a bit and spend some time on your own. It could be a good moment for you to take some time to understand your feelings.

However, this auto isolation will make you feel quite irascible if you maintain it for too long. You are also benefiting from being very convincing so why waste these days when you can interact so well with others.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This Friday you will be quite concerned with your image and the way you appear in front of others. You are inclined to act all ambitious and to show everyone what you are capable of.

On one hand this is the way to go, on the other, you might risk appearing quite arrogant and selfish if you focus entirely on yourself. Make room for your family also.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Just as the work week ends, personal troubles appear. You might be faced with unexpected change that will delay most of your long term plans.

Expect to make necessary adaptations to your projects and try to sweeten up the delays that could appear. Luckily, communications with people you count on are benefited so no blunders will creep in.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today will be a day of revelation for you, a day in which you will be put in front of certain changes and in which you will be somewhat forced to understand that things aren’t always the way we picture them.

This is a good moment to see beneath the surface and to extract new ideas and life advice from the things that are happening around us.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This Friday will catch you all tired and stressed out. Since your body wants its share of repose it might be a good idea to stay at home and avoid going out tonight.

Why not turn the situation to your advantage and spend some time with your family or maybe just a quiet night in with your partner. Keep the peaceful schedule for the whole weekend ahead.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 9:30 AM to 2 PM EDT today (6:30 AM to 11 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today your home routine might be interrupted by something unexpected. It could entail a home repair. Family news might surprise you. Possibly a relative will make a surprising suggestion? Stock the fridge so that you’re ready for anything.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today has a lot of electrical energy floating around in the air – you can feel it. This is why you might impulsively change plans. You might suddenly take a short trip or cancel one. This is the classic day to see new places and meet new faces. You’re full of clever ideas!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you might have some excellent moneymaking ideas. If you think they’re worth your consideration, act fast because this window of opportunity will be brief. You might also impulsively shop today. (Be smart and keep your receipts – and the box.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Mercury is in your sign, and today it is dancing with unpredictable Uranus. This is why you feel a sense of excitement and heightened interest in your immediate environment. Startling new ideas might occur to you. It’s a great day for new insights and new plans.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you feel impulsive, restless and ready for action! You might also feel indecisive because there’s lots of unusual energy floating around. On the upside, exciting possibilities exist. On the downside, you might impulsively do something you later regret. Oops.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today a friend might surprise you. Or you might be caught off guard by a member of a group or something that a group does? Possibly, you are the person who surprises others? Be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking even though “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Prepare for a surprise when dealing with bosses, parents, the police or anyone in authority today. Someone might throw you a zinger! Give yourself time to process whatever happens because you don’t have to act fast just because someone else does. Don’t do or say anything you will later regret.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Travel plans might suddenly fall in your lap today. Alternatively, travel plans might be cancelled, delayed or changed in some way. This same unpredictable quality can affect school schedules or something to do with medicine and legal matters. Stay tuned!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Stay in touch with your bank account and any arrangement that you have with others, especially partners, about shared property, debt, loans or inheritances because something unexpected could change everything today. You snooze – you lose.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Stay on your toes today because someone close to you – a partner or a friend might throw you a curveball. Very likely, someone will say or do something you did not expect. They might want to change the arrangement of the relationship? Or they might have an unusual suggestion? Hmmm.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your work routine will be interrupted today. Power outages, staff shortages, late deliveries or break downs with machinery are some examples. On the upside, you could have a clever idea that is a solution to a problem. The downside – is obvious.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Parents should be extra vigilant because this is an accident-prone time for your kids, especially today. Therefore, know where they are at all times and make sure that toddlers are not near hazardous situations. Meanwhile social plans might suddenly change. You might receive an exciting invitation! If so, act fast. Or perhaps something will be cancelled.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Sylvester Stallone (1946) shares your birthday today. You are an optimist who is enthusiastic about every aspect of your life. You radiate energy. You are reliable, dedicated and passionate about what you believe. This is a slower paced year, time to rest. Do what you can to rejuvenate your energy. Search for relationships that are supportive and bring you happiness.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Thursday brings emotions and love at the center of your life. It seems that even what happens at work will prompt you to be more attentive to your love life.

It might be the case of an office temptation or just an honest talk with a colleague in which you really trust. You should be focusing on the practical aspects of your relationship.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

As the end of the work week approaches, it seems that things are starting to swirl out of control. There might be some things waiting for you that would change your plans for the next week but you shouldn’t worry that much about them.

It might also be difficult for you to come to an understanding with your fellow workers and you might have to dedicate quite some time to convincing them.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It seems that you are going to be quite busy this day as many responsibilities seem to have pilled up.

You might be under quite a lot of stress as your superiors will be pressuring you to finish some things real quick. You should maintain your calm and find ways to be more efficient. Don’t forget to take a lunch break to cool off a bit.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today there are plenty of chances for you to reconnect with your family, from long lost relatives to people that you are seeing on a daily basis.

You should however be careful what and how much you are sharing because you don’t really know whom you can really trust these days. It is a great time for you to socialize and wind up a little.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This Thursday might be a bit critical for you at home as everyone seems to ask something of you. There might be things you can help people out and there might be other activities that would come in direct contradiction with your own schedule.

Make sure you share your time efficiently and not postpone anything that is of importance for you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is going to be quite a difficult day in terms of money at some point. You might have to deal with an unexpected purchase or to be booking a trip in advance.

Such things will sort of depress you and get you thinking whether you are doing the right thing. If you move past your worries you will be as good to go and focus on other things that are more important.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today is going to be a great day for intellectual endeavors, from studying to writing something on your own.

It is also an auspicious time to conduct all kinds of research, especially those involving human subjects and dealing with philosophical subjects. You should also be spending time dealing with activities that require great dexterity.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The appreciation of those around you will be of great importance this day and you will see that by coming in contact with such people and how sharing your ideas will do you good.

It is also the time to indulge in cultural activities, from going to the theatre or to an art gallery to simply going to the movies. Make sure you stay close to people that share the same interests as you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This Thursday will bring you unexpected ambitions and you will probably feel empowered to do all kinds of things.

Seeing you so motivated and eager to succeed will determine you to work harder but also to be more demanding of those around you. Make sure you don’t appear as arrogant and insensitive to your colleagues or worse, to your family.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your love life will be in the center of everyone’s attention today and this means good for both those natives happily committed and for those whom are single.

It also seems that the singles will be able to express how they feel as they will be very eloquent and charming around the people they are interested in. There is a chance for great fun in the company of friends.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Quite a harmonious day ahead for most natives as there will be almost no clouds in their lives. There’s only one word of caution for the committed natives whom might be faced with minor misunderstandings and discussions created by some previous actions of theirs.

The current disposition also makes them prone to analyzing their feelings.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is going to be a quiet Thursday for these natives, one of those days in which only their intuition will spark things a bit.

It seems that you will be able to look behind the surface in many things and this observatory spirit will help you reach to certain conclusions regarding your life and even your relationships. Seeing things in a new perspective will get you through the day.

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends!

“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

Henry David Thoreau

I am slowly marching to my dream of bring WOTC back to its glory days when Lady Abyss was alive and could help me after turning her life’s work over to me. In many ways with including less posts I feel I am failing her. She would put out between 15 and 30 posts a day where as from the feed back from the surveys last month I am only doing a third of that. So, I guess I have a choice to make either put out more posts and possibly lose some follower or stick with what I am doing as the visitors and views keep going downhill. I am leaning more towards a few more posts covering a wider range of topics daily. If you feel I am blowing up you inbox I apologize but partly for my small income from WOTC which I will be getting paid every 3 months for the time I put in everyday instead of every 2 months and hopefully bring you more content that you can use or find interesting I will be going with a few more posts starting this Sunday. No, it will not go all the way up to 30 posts a day but probably around 12 or 13 instead of only 8. I know I will never be rich writing this blog but I would like to get a little more each month to go back to being paid at least a little every other month.

For anyone who decides to leave because of more emails from WOTC I wish you well on your journey and thank you for your support. For all of you who stay I thank you for sticking with us and for your support.

Hematite Meaning and Healing Properties

You Need Hematite If…

Do you feel as though the rug has been pulled out from under you? Does your life feel chaotic or hectic? Do you feel overwhelmed? Is your mind all over the place? These are all signs that you need a dose of grounding energy, and Hematite is exactly the stone for that. Read on and be sure to check out our selection of Hematite stones, jewelry, and crystals today

An Introduction to Hematite Crystal Healing Properties

If you’re drawn to the Hematite crystal, it could be a sign that you’re in need of grounding and balancing in your life. As soon as the Hematite crystal stone touches the skin, you’ll feel more centered and calm with its intense but subtle vibrations. While all crystals have powerful grounding effects, the Hematite crystal properties are a gem when it comes to clearing and activating the root chakra, the energy center that anchors us to the earth and provides a feeling of stability.

The Hematite crystal healing properties stem from the stone’s high iron content, which gives it a heaviness and a weightiness that gives you the feeling of being anchored to the earth. With the simple act of bringing you back down to earth, Hematite calms a troubled mind and puts your spirit at ease so you can release any feelings of stress, tension, worry, or nervousness. The stabilizing effect of the Hematite crystal stone makes it a trusted companion to keep by your side everywhere you go.

History & Lore

Hematite’s name is derived from the Greek word haima, meaning blood. This stone is known for connecting the body to the Earth. Ancient Greeks associated Hematite with Mars, the god of war. Many warriors, including ancient Greeks, Romans, and Native Americans, used crushed Hematite on their bodies to create a red paint-like appearance thought to keep them safe in battle. Hematite was believed to make a warrior invulnerable and give them courage and strength. During the Patheolithic era, early humans created cave paintings using the red pigment from ground-up Hematite.

Hematite was also used for medicinal purposes in ancient times. In Mesopotamia, Hematite was used to cool the blood. Similarly, in ancient Egypt, Hematite was recommended for treating inflammation because of its iron oxide properties.

Origin & Regionality

Hematite is found in Brazil, Canada, England, the United States, Venezuela, and many other places.

Hematite Crystal Meaning

The Hematite crystal meaning is linked to its connection to the root chakra, the center of security and survival. By creating a strong sense of energetic stability, this crystal works to align, clear and balance your root chakra so you feel centered and secure. Not only do the Hematite crystal healing properties lend a sense of grounded-ness and stability, but they can also help you to feel energetically protected by guiding you to release any energies that may be destabilizing you.

One of the most powerful ways to connect with and access the Hematite crystal stone meaning is to meditate with the stone. To enhance its energetic impact, hold one Hematite in each hand to balance both sides of the body and ground your entire being. By connecting you to your foundation, the Hematite crystal meaning can guide you to stand your ground in the face of stressful or intense situations. Meditating with this stone can also help you achieve a higher state of being by connecting you with your inner strength and power.

Getting Grounded

If you are undergoing or recently underwent a big life change like moving or changing jobs, you may feel unsettled. The grounding force of the Hematite crystal meaning helps you build a strong foundation so you can move through turbulent times with more grace and ease.

But even if you aren’t experiencing significant life changes, an extra dose of grounding energy can be extremely helpful. Have you been feeling overwhelmed or all over the place? The Hematite crystal stone can remind you to take everything one step at a time so you can stay grounded so you can approach your life from a cool, calm and collected state of being.

Protection

The Hematite crystal meaning is linked with its ability to absorb any toxic emotions holding you back from your natural state of joy and vitality. Using Hematite in your crystal healing first aid kit can clear away negative feelings from stress, anxiety, and worry. The Hematite works to pull any stray negative energy in the aura to the root chakra where it neutralizes its harmful effects by balancing and aligning all seven chakras. This explains why Hematite crystal also has a lesser-known protective energy.

As you move throughout the world, oncoming negative energy from other people or environments can leave you feeling unsettled. By stabilizing your energy and drawing out any unwanted energy that finds its way in, Hematite helps you go through life without the added weight of negativity and protects you from lower vibrational energy.

How to Use Your Hematite Crystal

Getting Grounded

The most powerful way to use the Hematite crystal properties for getting grounded is to create a crystal program for yourself. By wearing Hematite crystal jewelry, carrying the stone, and bringing it into your environment, you can connect with the grounding and stabilizing energy of this stone anytime and anywhere.

WEAR

Wearing the stone in the form of jewelry is a powerful way to connect with the Hematite crystal meaning throughout the day. Your hematite bracelet or hematite anklet can remind you to take a breath and slow down when you feel overwhelmed or unsettled.

CARRY

In addition to wearing the stone, carrying a Hematite stone in your purse or pocket allows you to bring its energy with you wherever you go. For those hectic moments when you can’t seem to keep your feet on the ground, hold your stone and feel the Hematite crystal stone meaning lend you a sense of rootedness and connection to your foundation.

PLACE

The last step in your crystal program for getting grounded is to bring the stone into your space. Place it somewhere prominent in your home to emit grounding and comforting vibrations into your environment.

HEMATITE CRYSTAL INTENTION FOR GETTING GROUNDED

When working with Hematite for getting grounded, use the following crystal intention: I am grounded.

Protection

To enhance your sleep, create a Hematite crystal program for yourself that includes wearing it, carrying it, and placing it in your space.

WEAR

For constant access to the protective energy of Hematite, wearing a hematite bracelet or hematite necklace is one of the most effective ways to connect with your stone. Keeping the Hematite crystal healing properties close to your body can help to draw out any unwanted or negative energy that throws you off so you can maintain your energetic security.

CARRY

To enhance your crystal program for protection, place a piece of Hematite in your purse or pocket so that it’s stabilizing energy is always available to you, especially when you face lower vibrational energy throughout the day.

PLACE

To complete your crystal practice, place a Hematite crystal point in your space. For protection, placing it near your front door or in the four corners of a room can keep lower vibrational energy at bay.

HEMATITE CRYSTAL INTENTION FOR PROTECTION

When working with Hematite for protection, use the following crystal intention: I am protected.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Focus on getting things done today. Home repairs might be an excellent choice along with DIY projects because anything to do with home and family has your attention now. Nevertheless, sports and fun activities with kids will appeal.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a busy, fast-paced day! You’re eager to talk to others, especially siblings, relatives and neighbours. You are equally eager to learn something new. Meanwhile, redecorating ideas and renovations on the home front might appeal to you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your communication skills are excellent today. You will be charming but you will also be persuasive. Meanwhile, travel plans or something that will help you to break free from a predictable routine is what you are looking for. You need a change of scenery!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’re no fool when it comes to money. You are certainly not extravagant (unless you’re fooling around). Today you might see ways to work harder to boost your income, which is a good idea because you definitely have ideas about how to spend it. Something special appeals to you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be cooperative with others today because that is the easiest way for you to deal with the middle of the week. Use your diplomatic skills to get what you want. However, don’t push things. Ideally, let them unfold at their own pace. This means you can pick the low-hanging fruit.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Whatever task that you set for yourself today, including your work and your job will very likely have to come second to the needs and wants of someone else. It looks like you might have to perform a service for someone. Fortunately, this is something you know how to do!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Once a year for four weeks, the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. This is still happening for your sign, which means it’s important that you know that you have the advantage! Go after what you want because you just might get it. Doors will open for you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’ll find it rewarding if you have a chance to study and learn something new. You will also enjoy travelling or talking to others about heady subjects like philosophy, religion, politics or astrology. Meanwhile, someone might ask for your advice about how to make something look better.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the perfect day for some lively conversation with others. The trick is to find someone who is interesting to talk to. They have to have something to bring to the table. The way to get the ball rolling is for you to bring up a fascinating topic. Ideas?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have a strong focus on money, cash flow and your personal wealth today, including your possessions. Fortunately, this is a time when you can actually attract money to you. You might benefit from the wealth of others, especially a partner. Ka-ching!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

With the Moon still in your sign, you have an edge over all the other signs. Knowing this, you can use this to your advantage. Ask for what you want. You want to be productive today, which is why you’re willing to roll up your sleeves and dig in. You want results.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’re in play mode! If you can escape on vacation or play hooky today, you will enjoy doing so. Having said that, two planets indicate that they’re willing to help you to work hard. They will even guarantee support and cooperation from coworkers. Go figure. It’s your choice.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Baseball player Shoei Ohtani (1994) shares your birthday today. You need variety. You energize whatever situation you’re in with sparkle and dynamic verve. You are charming conversationalist. This year is the beginning of a fresh new cycle for you. Stay flexible. Be courageous. Now is the time to take action initiative and define your goals.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today seems to be the best moment to repair relationships with your family or with your close relatives.

The current disposition makes rare encounters possible and brings together in the same place people that haven’t seen themselves in years. You might be presented with the occasion to spend some time with old childhood friends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is going to be quite a tense day in terms of relationships for you, especially at home with your partner.

If you can’t find a way to clear the air then maybe you shouldn’t be around them for too long. Conflicts can rise out of the simplest moments and it is going to be kind of hard for you to manage them. It’s time to compromise and to stop keeping your standards so high in some respects.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you won’t find a moment to breathe so easily as it seems you are going to be swamped with work.

Don’t even think of lunch breaks or other smaller breaks, everything will be on turbo action today. It might be a good time to purchase a household item or something similar so keep working if your efforts are being quickly rewarded.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you will be mostly interested in the material side of things and you won’t be that in touch with your spiritual side.

This means you will be denying any emotional connection for the day and this might create some animosity between you and your partner if they are in the mood for sharing feelings. Otherwise, you are optimistic and efficient at work.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you could get a hold of a new source of income, either due to a raise at work or due to a personal project.

All commercial and intellectual activities are favored as well as new work initiatives. Avoid any long term trips or other kinds of endeavors that would involve serious traveling. The next couple of days will bring some changes in the lives of these natives.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It seems like this Wednesday the week it’s just really beginning for you and lots and lots of work is pilling over your head.

It might be also the case of suffering from the consequences of your previous acts. So if you’ve postponed something important some time ago, then be sure it will come back now to bite you. It’s a good moment to prove whether you can work in a team or not.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

There are going to be a few beneficial aspects this day, especially regarding finances, so you could expect some earnings to come your way.

Today also favors new contracts and commercial agreements so if you have anything like that planned it doesn’t matter on which side you are, because it is going to be a win- win situation.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you might feel the need to indulge yourself in certain activities you like and even invest some money in such activities.

It could be the time to reconnect with a hobby you enjoyed but it might not be the best idea to take some money out of your pocket for that. Think of inexpensive ways to entertain yourself in the afternoon.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today is going to be a stable day and nothing out of the ordinary is likely to happen. This however doesn’t mean that things are going to be slow.

Today is more like a day to focus on mundane tasks and to be as efficient as possible with them because there won’t be any variables involved. Some natives might be faced with some communication issues in love.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It seems that the current transits are beneficial for all natives whom would like to rekindle a long lost connection.

It is a time when relationships from the past or from afar are surfacing back in their lives. If such thing is quite improbable then expect to have an interesting encounter with someone that will stimulate you both intellectually and emotionally.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you are going to be quite difficult to interact with as everything others say or do will somehow get on your nerves.

You are prone to exaggerate both in the way you understand the actions of others and in the way you react. The main cause of your irritation might be some changes in your life or you having a sense that some transformation is waiting for you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you might be prompted by the current disposition to take a step towards your partner and to center your whole day’s focus and energy on them.

It is a great time for relationships that are growing because the efforts of both partners will be equally rewarded. The only caution of the day is not to get side tracked from your goals by emotions.

Good Day, Hail and Well Met and Merry Meet to All Who Gather Here This Day!

Interesting question put to me by one of my students, “Do you just talk the talk or do you really walk the walk of a pagan and witch?”

So, I pose the same question to you.

To me walking the walk means being out of the broom closet to help other witches and pagans to do the same. We do not have to be ashamed or feel the need to hide your spiritual path. The more of us who stand up for our beliefs that more the world around us will accept witches and pagans. I am not saying to come out of the broom closet if it would have a major negative impact on your life. I am saying if you can step out of the musky broom closet do so proudly and with your head held high!

This day is going to be sort of difficult for some natives. There are people whom are currently stuck in their habits or in their thinking patterns and they feel like there is no exit.

July 2023 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

	Leaf days (Water Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants from which the intention is to use Leaves and Stems. Ex: Cabbage, Salads, Lettuce, Spinach, Green onions, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Celeriac. Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days). Harvesting in Leaf days is not recommended (products start decomposing in a shorter time). Beekeeping: Working with the hive is not recommended in Leaf days.
	Fruit days (Fire Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants that produce Fruits and Seeds. Ex: Cherry, Strawberry, Tomato, Pea, Bean, Corn, Pumpkin, Nut, Cereal, Courgette. Harvesting in Fruit days allows fruits and seeds to have a better storage quality. Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days). Beekeeping: Fruit days stimulate the collection of nectar. Bees are also supposed to be more gentle these days.
	Root days (Earth Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate Root plants and Root vegetables. Ex: Carrot, Turnip, but also Potato, Beet-root, Garlic, Onion, Leek. Crop should be stored in Root days. Beekeeping: Bees should be encouraged to build more comb.
	Flower days (Air Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant, cultivate and harvest Flower plants or herbs used for medicinal purposes. Flowers, if cut in these days, have a more intense scent and endure longer. Leaf plants should be harvested in these Flower days. Beekeeping: Flower days stimulate brood activity and colony development. Bees are also supposed to be more gentle these days.

WHAT PLANETS ARE RETROGRADE JULY 2023? TBH, IT’S KIND OF A LOT

From elitedaily.com

Here’s to longer days, shorter nights, as well as a booked and busy social calendar. It’s summertime, baby! As the sun prepares to shift into its home sign of Leo this month, you’ll be tapping into your main character energy just in time for a beach vacation. However, as you prepare to sit back and relax, July 2023’s retrograde planets are coming in extra hot. In total, there will be four planets reversing through the cosmos in July, which is a biiit much — but only one will actually be stationing retrograde this month: Venus. She’ll easily be the star of the show this summer, which means that you will be paying your relationships a lot of attention.

What’s A Retrograde?

A retrograde is an apparent change in movement of any planet through the sky. Each of the eight planets (excluding the luminaries, aka the sun and moon) maintain a consistent retrograde cycle, unique to their relative speeds. The inner planets, like Mercury, Venus, and Mars, experience shorter retrograde periods; the outer planets, like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, station retrograde for extended lengths, since they move at a slower pace. When a planet stations retrograde, it appears to be reversing its steps through the cosmos, but in reality, the celestial body is just moving at a much slower speed than normal. This is where retrograde mishaps tend to come from: The change in tempo tends to impact the planet’s ability to accomplish its usual objective.

What Planets Will Be Retrograde July 2023?

As previously mentioned, there will be a total of four planets retrograde in July, but only one Venus will be stationing retrograde this month. The planet of love, pleasure, and creativity will be joining Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, all of which stationed retrograde in the months prior. This is the first time Venus will station retrograde in Leo since 2015, so it’s bound to bring some important themes into focus specifically in the house Leo resides in everyone’s birth chart.

What To Expect From July 2023’s Retrograde Planets

Pluto stationed retrograde on May 1
Saturn stationed retrograde on June 17
Neptune stationed retrograde on June 30
Venus will station retrograde on July 22

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon in Capricorn peaks at 7:39 AM EDT today (4:39 AM PDT).

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you might have to do a juggling act to keep everyone happy because this Full Moon might make you feel caught between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your professional life or your public reputation. Today you cannot ignore home and family.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign due to the Full Moon energy taking place today. An accident does not have to take place; however, you might be distracted, especially emotionally. Stay mindful.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Financial issues might come to a head today because of the Full Moon energy. This could pertain to banking, inheritances, shared property, cash flow or your earnings. Note: problems intensify as any Full Moon approaches, and after the Full Moon peaks, these problems diminish! (Fingers crossed.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This is an indication that you have tension building up between you and a close friend, partner or spouse. The good news is that after it peaks, (see Moon Alert above), these problems will diminish or disappear. Yay!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Good news! The Full Moon today might have triggered some problems dealing with your health or your job in the last few days. However, today it will peak in the morning, which means as the day wears on, these same problems will likely diminish or disappear.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might have felt some tension building up between you and others, especially friends or groups that you belong to in the last few days. You’ll be happy to know that when the Full Moon peaks this morning, it could blow those problems away! (One can only hope.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Perhaps you were caught between the demands of home and family versus the demands of career and your public reputation, recently? This is because of the build up toward the Full Moon that peaks this morning. Hopefully, this day will bring a resolution.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Disputes about religion, philosophy, politics or travel decisions, or something to do with education, might have occurred in the last few days. If so, you’ll be happy to know that after today’s Full Moon peaks in the morning, these arguments will soften.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Financial matters might come to a head this morning, which means these problems might very well be resolved later today. (One hopes.) Every month problems tend to intensify as the Full Moon approaches, and then after it peaks, these same problems diminish. Go figure.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The Full Moon this morning is the only Full Moon that occurs in your sign all year. This is why you might have felt some tension building up between you and others in the last few days. Fortunately, after it peaks this morning (see above) life will get better! (Whew!)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Issues related to your health or your job or something hidden, behind the scenes, might have become a bit tense in the last few days. You have had to cope. Fortunately, the Full Moon peaks this morning, which means these problems will diminish. (That’s good to hear.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Romantic relationships, as well as relations with your kids, might have been challenging in the last several days. (Hard to keep everyone happy.) Fortunately, after the Full Moon peaks this morning, these problems will probably diminish or disappear. Expect the best because everyone will be happy again.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Olivia Munn (1980) shares your birthday today. You are rational, observant and curious about everything around you. Personally, you want to make the world a better place. You know how to charm. This is a powerful year for you. Expect recognition for your efforts. You might receive a promotion, a raise, an award – definitely acknowledgement.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are going to start this week feeling focused and serious as the current astral disposition dictates it to you. And it seems that today you are going to be as complying as possible.

Just try not to take everything so seriously and to lighten up a bit whenever the time is asking for it. This is a great time to spend with your nose in a book, learning something new.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Don’t expect to be all creative and inspired this day as such dispositions are kind of far away for you. This means you won’t be that art lover this day and it will be kind of hard for you to understand abstract situations.

Today it seems you feel the need to stick to what is real and to work with practical activities rather than make plans or imagine things.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are going to start the week quite tense as it seems that work place pressure is rising up. You might be more active when it comes to collaborations and all sorts of practical engagements but the stress is still extremely high.

Make sure you spend your free time doing something that relaxes you and not thinking for a bit about work or responsibilities.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This week you will be mostly inspired to appease conflicts and stay together with those you love. Maybe you are preparing an important journey and you want to make those around you feel how important they are for you before you go.

However, no matter what is the situation at hand, it seems that you will be able to share your emotions and connect with others easily.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are going to be very creative today but also very stubborn. This means that you will definitely feel compiled to show your ideas to those around you but at the same time you won’t accept criticism or people not taking you in consideration.

Try not to be all tense about these things because they might not seem so important tomorrow or later.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is going to be an auspicious day for most natives that are having important meetings scheduled or who are courting partners both in love and business.

It seems that you are going to appear as authoritative and serious and people will find it easy to confide in you. Highlight your skills but also keep being modest about your realizations.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are going to start the week getting busy with all kinds of intellectual activities as the current aspects are beneficial for you to engage in such endeavors.

See which are the areas in your life where you feel the need to learn something more and follow them. It is also a great time to make use of your skills and be sure people will notice them.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It seems that the current disposition is prompting you to be more responsible and to take cautionary measures to ensure your stability.

This means that you will be searching for the company of people that you consider are serious and whom you feel you can confide in. Those natives whom are currently on a short leave might be interested in finding a stable job.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It seems that this beginning of the week announces itself to be quite peaceful and with little troubles. The relaxation in your life will definitely be seen in your activities and in the way you handle your interactions with other people.

You should however try not to be too pretentious in regard of what you want or need for those around you to do.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might feel the need to step aside and spend a day on your own. Maybe you still need to recharge your batteries and you feel like some solitary time will do you good.

However, it is important to keep an eye on these tendencies because they shouldn’t be repeating that often because there is no need for you to isolate from those close to you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you are strongly advised to manage your efforts wisely. It seems that you will be tempted to throw yourself all in an endeavor and that this might not be the best idea.

It’s good for you to feel motivated and enthusiastic about something but this is not the best disposition to risk or spend all your energy in just one project.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are going to be quite a difficult person to deal with today but it seems that this is just temporary. Your only fault to this disposition is that you won’t be able to see that there are things with regards to which you are too stubborn.

Don’t put all your energy into convincing others of your beliefs because you won’t have any chances to succeed given this disposition.

The Self

Remain modest – that is the right of the oracle. Be in the world, but not from the world. Stay receptive to impulses, that come out of the divine in the inner and outer sphere. Seek to live the usual life in an unusual manner.

If you take the ‘itself’ rune and cut through it in the middle, you are going to receive the rune of joy and its reflection. So there is a fine warning not to be careless. The acrobatically dancing energy of the balance is asked here to bring its higher itself. Nothing in the excess – that was the second request that was to be read at the entrance to the delphish temple. The first advice read: Recognize you yourself!

Beith/Beth

Beith, or Beth, corresponds to the letter B in the alphabet, and is associated with the Birch tree. When this symbol is used, it is representative of new beginnings, change, release, and rebirth. In some traditions, it also has connections with purification.

Birch trees are hardy. They’ll grow just about anywhere, including on bare soil. Because they tend to grow in clusters, what may be just one or two seedlings now can be practically an entire forest in a few decades. In addition to being a sturdy sort of tree, the Birch is useful. In days gone by, it was used for infants’ cradles, and is still harvested today to make cabinets and furniture.

From a magical perspective, there are a number of uses for Birch. The branches are traditionally incorporated into the construction of a besom, and are used for the bristles. Use the white outer bark in ritual in place of paper or parchment–just be sure you only harvest the bark from a fallen Birch tree, not a living one. Ancient herbalists discovered that various parts of this tree can be used for medicinal purposes. Bark was once brewed into a tea to fight fevers, and the leaves were used alternately as a laxative and a diuretic, depending on how they were prepared.

Beith Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means it’s time to get rid of all those negative influences you’ve been carrying around with you. Figure out what things are bad in your life, which relationships are toxic, and find a way to leave them behind. Instead of being dragged down by the negative, focus on the positive things you have in your life, the blessings and abundance. Use these things as a focus, rather than the harmful or damaging ones.

Magical Aspects: Consider the property of renewal and rebirth, as demonstrated by the Birch. Use this as a tool for spiritual and emotional regrowth, and developing your own ability to regenerate where there has been emptiness or devastation.

I Ching

Hexagram Fifty – Nine 59

Huan / Dissolution

Wind carries the Mists aloft:
Sage rulers dedicated their lives to serving a Higher Power and built temples that still endure.

The King approaches his temple.
Success if you stay on course.
You may cross to the far shore.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Walls meant to protect have instead separated and isolated.
Your defenses have kept you apart from those whom you most need to touch.
Whatever the reason for discord between you, it is time to lay down your arms.
Dispel the inflexible demands and fears of the Mind so that you may reunite in the Heart.
If you have begrudged, forgive.
If you have torn down, repair.
If you have injured, heal.
If you have judged, pardon.
If you have grasped, let go.

Numerology

The numbers 1-9 are very important to the science of Numerology. The energy and meaning of each of these numbers is different, so whether we see them in our Numerology charts or wonder why they keep reappearing in our lives, it’s important to know what they mean so we can understand the messages they are sending us. The number 9, the very last of these numbers, has been on a long journey, and now shines its light of love and divine wisdom into the world.

What is the definition of 9 in Numerology?

The energy of the number 9 represents completion, but not finality. Think of it more in a cyclical sense; it’s about the ending of one cycle and the potential it creates for another cycle to begin. The 9 in Numerology acts as an usher in this process of transition or transformation, guiding and empowering us with its wisdom. It absorbs answers from a spiritual source, then delivers them to us in the real world.

This number is a humanitarian at heart. It is compassionate, kind, and intent on putting its efforts toward creating the greatest good. The 9 in Numerology has gone through its fair share of hardship and is wiser, stronger, and more aware as a result. These first-hand experiences make it especially understanding of others who are struggling and willing to provide valuable support.
