Spell for Today – Making Moon Water

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY COROSPONDENCES AND SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Moon Water Recipe

Recipe by Francisco Huanaco Difficulty: Easy

Moon water is simply regular water that has been blessed under the Moon. You can make it on any lunar phase (not just the Full Moon!) chanting this easy Wiccan spell.

INGREDIENTS

  • Drinking water (it can be tap/rain water if it’s safe to drink)

  • 1 bowl or a glass container of any size

HOW TO PREPARE MOON WATER

  • Pour water in the bowl. If it’s your first time, use 3 cups of water. Otherwise, feel free to experiment with the amounts.
  • Put the bowl in a place where it will be lit by the moonlight, preferably outside, but it could be near a window inside your home. It’s a good idea to use a glass bowl or a transparent bottle to allow the light to reach the water without obstructions. It doesn’t matter if it’s cloudy outside, since moonlight, just like sunlight, can pierce through the clouds easily.
  • As you place the water in the moonlight, consecrate it by saying out loud:How to prepare Moon Water
  • Your intention/petition could be attracting more money to your life, healing a part of your body, fixing a relationship, or anything else where you want to focus this sacred energy.
  • You don’t need to leave the water outside all night. A few hours is enough, but make sure to collect it before dawn, before the sunlight touches it.
  • Filter out any insects that might have landed on the water and pour it in a bottle or jar. Store it in a dark place such as a kitchen cabinet or refrigerator until you use it.

August 14, 2023 Current Moon 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 Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the August 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on August 14 has an illumination of 3%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 3:30 AM to 7 AM EDT today (12:30 AM to 4 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today begins a preparation for Wednesday’s New Moon. (It’s the big event of the week.) It’s time for you to value your creative talents. You love your hobbies. You approach so many areas of life with enthusiasm and imagination. Appreciate what you do!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today until the New Moon on Wednesday, your focus is on home, family and perhaps a parent. You want to put down roots. You want to make your home attractive, which is why you’re redecorating and tackling projects. You want the freedom to entertain. You want to do what you want to do.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are an idea person. You love the stimulation of new information be it neighbourly gossip or international news. This is because you were born curious. Today, and in the next few days, you will nurture independent ideas. In fact, you might impulsively travel.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Starting today and for the next few days, your focus will be on money, earnings, cash flow and your possessions. In fact, by Wednesday’s New Moon, you might have new ideas or resolutions about how you want to handle your wealth. (You’re never casual about money.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Moon moves into Leo where it will move forward until it lines up with the Sun on Wednesday – creating a New Moon! This is a powerful time for you. You want to do your own thing, which is why you might rebel against authority. It’s time to be your own person.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You feel a lot of things going on behind the scenes in an almost subterranean way. It’s there but you can’t see it. However, you can talk about it because Mercury and Mars are both in your sign making you eager to communicate your ideas to someone. Speak up!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are not a loner. You like to have others in your life. Right now, you are focused on friends as well as groups and organizations. In fact, your relationship with someone might start to simmer a bit until something explodes on Wednesday. Be alert.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are high viz. today and for the next few days. You look attractive to others, which is why you might have a flirtation with someone in authority. Nevertheless, by the New Moon on Wednesday, you will feel rebellious. You’re marching to the beat of your own drum.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You love to travel and this week is no exception. This is an excellent day to learn new things and meet people from other countries and different cultures. Be aware that in the next few days, travel or educational plans might suddenly change.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a fortunate time for you. Gifts, goodies and money might come your way. Nevertheless, keep your eyes open because starting today until Wednesday, something is uncertain. A deal might fall through or an unexpected change might occur. Stay tuned.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Beginning today and for the next few days, certainly until Wednesday, be prepared to accommodate others and go more than halfway in your dealings. This is because both the Sun and the Moon are opposite your sign. You have no choice. It is what it is.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’re keen to be productive and efficient in whatever you do. You are just as keen to improve your health as well. Yes – you want it all. This is wise. After all, why not be the best that you can be?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Myla Kunis (1983) shares your birthday today. You’re aware of whatever is going on because you’re perceptive and an excellent judge of character. You are also quick to see the subtext of things. This is a slower paced year that will focus on your closest relationships. Seek out people who are supportive of you.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It appears that the stars are prompting you to feel more and more confused because some things in your life are going to turn hectic.

Most natives that are going to find themselves in such a situation should blame it all on their past selves, more specifically on a certain decision they have taken in the past and that they knew wasn’t all right for them.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

During this start of the week you are recommended to reevaluate some of the most important aspects in your life.

This might have to do with your personal or with your professional life. There are choices you need to update and there are other things you need to some thought into. For some natives this might be a personal turning point.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Despite this being the beginning of the week, your mind will be all set towards enjoying yourself so there are little chances for you to be actually capable of focusing on something important.

It might not be such a bad idea, given the current disposition, to simply go with the flow and to try and resort to activities that are entertaining and relaxed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

There are certain things switching in a completely different direction in your life and you might not be completely aware of them.

You might want to be more observant, especially when it comes to personal aspects, more likely your relationship with your partner. Some things aren’t what they seem anymore and you need to update that in your mind.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today most natives are going to learn an important lesson, that of them not always being able to handle everything on their own and that of getting help not being such an offensive and demeaning thing.

They are going to get caught real bad in something important before they decide that it is best to ask for guidance and that asking for help doesn’t diminish their authority.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This Monday you might want to be careful to the way you are handling money, be them your own or of those around you.

This means that you should avoid all speculations and if you choose to invest or save them aside you should opt for methods that have no risk involved. Postpone any lending or borrowing money for a different time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you will be put in the situation to sell something, be it something physical like an object or something that has to do with a service you provide.

Or for some natives this might mean selling their skills to a prospective employer or partner. Make sure you have all your arguments in order and try not to distract yourself from the route you propose from the beginning.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today is a good day to be both focused at work and active afterwards. So why not tend to all your mundane tasks quickly, then put a bigger thought into what is new and needs to be resolved and then have the rest of the day at your disposition.

It is a good moment to spend some time outdoors, even go for a run or practice a sport.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you are going to be somewhat forced to take a break and tend to what your body needs. Maybe it’s taking revenge for all your ignoring or for all your excesses.

Make sure you don’t ignore it once again and that you take all the right measures to minimize the results of previous decisions and to start fresh. It is a good time to start exercising.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It seems that the current disposition looks into the changes you’ve recently made in your life and to the new program you now have and it’s like, why not mess around with all this balance.

So prepare for unexpected turns of events and really stupid misunderstandings going on. Check and double check everything important for the next few days.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you are going to be somewhat influenced towards doing something good for the community you live in.

Either that you simply volunteer or that you have the support of your company to put some money aside for a charitable fund. It is also a good time to take a rest and work towards improving your wellness and mindset.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you are going to be in quite a generous disposition, but only of showing off yourself and of giving others in order to appear better than other people.

You should set your priorities straight and figure that you have nothing to prove to anyone and that you should change the way you react in certain situations or in relation to certain people.

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

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be ready to cooperate with others today because the Moon is still opposite your sign. Quite likely, you will meet someone who is vigourous and interested in sports, socializing, or something to do with your kids. Stay light on your feet so that you can be flexible.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You can get a lot done at work today or in anything that you choose to do because you are motivated to follow through and go after what you want. Competition will only spur you on. You might also be interested in exploring a new health regime to get in better shape. (A minute on the lips is a lifetime on the hips.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A playful day! Accept invitations to socialize, enjoy sports events and fun activities with children. Your creative vibes are hot! You might initiate a social event yourself because you’re keen to have a good time. Nevertheless, you do have excellent moneymaking ideas right now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might have a vigourous discussion with a female family relative today. It could pertain to money or how to share costs related to home and family. With both the Sun and Mercury in your sign, you’ll find it easy to express yourself and put your cards on the table.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

In one way, you want to play things low-key and work alone or behind the scenes. In fact, research will appeal. But in another way, you’re keen to communicate to others because you have something to say. In fact, you will be convincing! And charming. (You devil.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have strong ideas about financial matters, earning money, spending money or making a purchase today. This is why you won’t hesitate to speak your mind, especially if you’re talking to younger people or groups. Meanwhile, a secret affair is taking place for some of you. Oh yes.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a great day to work with others or work alone because you have feelings of independence and at the same time, you have feelings of leadership. You’ll have no trouble expressing your feelings openly and sincerely. You will also attract strong people to you today.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will choose to work alone or behind the scenes today because you want to do this. Nevertheless, you might influence a group, especially in competitive, sports or a physical situation. Perhaps you will inspire others by your own example of ambitious knowledge of how to get things done.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Conversations with female acquaintances will be lively today! You might talk to someone from another background or a different culture. Or you might meet someone who is strong and competitive. You have a strong desire to take the initiative and make the first move.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

People notice you today. If you have to defend your point of view, you will do so, even if challenged. Nevertheless, people will respect you even if they don’t agree with you because you’re prepared to express your ideas openly and sincerely. Be a role model.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

People will admire you today because your idealism shows. You want to make the world a better place, and today, you’re prepared to speak up and defend your beliefs. This is why you will attract people to you who are strong and have the courage of their convictions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will vigourously defend your best interests when it comes to discussions about inheritances or how to share or divide something today. You might also defend the interests of someone else?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Toby Maguire (1975) shares your birthday today. You are strong willed with a vibrant energy. You’re eager for new experiences and willing to take a chance. You are competitive and persuasive. Simplicity is the key to life this year. It’s time to create solid foundations, plus take charge of your health. Work hard and stay grounded.

Click here for today’s or anyone’s birthday horoscope from thehoroscope.co

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Tuesday you might want to respect yourself and be honest and trustworthy with every person you come in contact with, especially those from work.

However, this doesn’t mean that everyone saying a friendly hello to you is your friend. People have their own expectations and reasons to act like that so don’t take anyone for granted.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The week continues in an ambiguous state for you. It seems that some of those personal aspects you were so very confident about, such as your partner’s feelings, are letting you down.

Maybe you’re not viewing the future with them so brightly or maybe it’s just a phase and everything will sort itself out. Take your time to see how everything unravels.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This Tuesday you will be all swamped with work, not professionally speaking but at home. This means that either your family or partner are very busy or that you’ve somewhat lost everyone’s support dues to past reactions and now you have to tend to everything all by yourself.

Act like a complete grown up and deal with it on your own.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The week continues in a more organized note for you. Maybe there are some preparations you have to do and you need to pack your things or you just feel the need to keep everything as neatly as possible.

Make sure you don’t get too excited about this cleaning thing and end up throwing something really important away.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This Tuesday you will be the most eloquent person around and of course you need to take advantage of this disposition.

Speak your mind and show everyone why your ideas are the best, but use wise arguments. This is going to be a passionate day for those natives whom are happily committed as they seem to sweet talk their way.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This Tuesday you are probably going to seem the most unapproachable person on earth. Maybe you are all swamped with work and you feel like every social contact will eat out of your work time or maybe you are just not in the mood.

In any case, just make sure not to get caught in this isolation frenzy because those around you can even help you with your work if you ask them to.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This Tuesday you are going to have to leave all work aside and deal with your health. It might not be anything of great importance or maybe that head ache of yours is acting up again.

The only verdict is that you might be all stressed out and your body is now taking revenge on you. Be careful what you are doing today and don’t avoid going to see a medical professional.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The week continues in a more sociable mood giving you some opportunities to spend some time in a company you like.

This is also a great time to present your partner to your friends if you hadn’t done it yet. For the single natives, it might be their friends trying to hook them up with someone. Who knows, maybe they will be inspired this time.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The week continues as you are kind of conflicted between not being able to spend time with your family and not being able to work the whole time.

It seems you want it all, despite knowing that this can’t be humanly possible. Make sure you don’t miss out on work but as well as home and try to create a balance between these two before it is too late.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This Tuesday you are going to be quite emotional and every little thing happening to you or to those around will have a deep impact on your mood and train of thoughts.

It is great for you to be intuitive and analytical about life but try not to see everything as worries and threats because it will definitely get to your head eventually.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The week continues in a more sentimental mood and now all your focus is on your love life. This doesn’t however mean that you are triggered by physical desires.

It is more an emotional need for stability and love that is making you act all romantic and ready to compromise. Make sure you don’t give up on your principles just to find momentary love.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This Tuesday will inspire you to be creative and bold in your endeavors. It is a great time to present what you’ve been working on to your superior, especially if your field of work is a creative one.

However, this heightened imagination of yours will also bring you a tone of insecurities that you will have to be battling so don’t be overly critical with yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today Mars is in your sign at odds with Uranus, which means you feel rebellious and reluctant to follow orders and play by the rules. Your personal independence matters more! This is understandable; nevertheless, pull back and see the big picture. Don’t do anything you will later regret.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Tread carefully today. If you think there is someone out there working against your best interests, you are probably right. Trust your gut instincts. Younger people might listen to your ideas, especially about future plans. If you make changes, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Parents, bosses and the police might be aggressive with you today. You might be busted for some reason. Certainly, they will do something you least expect, which creates feelings of rebellion or a strong reaction within you. Play your cards close to your heaving bosom.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a tricky day for finances. Surprising influences can create detours, mishaps and unexpected events. Make friends with your bank account. Know what’s happening with debt, credit and your financial arrangement with partners. Stay in the know.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you feel restless and eager for change. Perhaps this is because a friend, spouse or partner has done or said something unpredictable. Something you didn’t see coming. Guard against a knee-jerk reaction. Be smart and give yourself time to process how you want to respond.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Work events are completely unpredictable today. Expect staff shortages, equipment breakdowns, power outages, late deliveries and possibly a coup or a minor revolt. Things will not flow as you expect them to. Au contraire! This is an unpredictable day related to your job, anything you do, your health and even your pet. Caution!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This Monday will be more of endings and new beginnings for you. It is time for you to face the truth and see what can and can’t be continued.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The current disposition will show you that finally previous actions are showing their consequence. If you have a free heart you know that this means that good things are about to happen and results to come.

Tanzanite Properties

Tanzanite is a calcium aluminium hydroxyl silicate and belongs to the silicate family.

It’s also known as Blue Zoisite. It was Tiffany and Co. that renamed it to Tanzanite as a part of a branding strategy.

It was first discovered in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in 1967.

Deposits of Tanzanite can be found in the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, but there are also deposits found in Kenya.

Due to its rare availability, Tanzanite is commercially produced and reddish-brown minerals are subjected to artificial heat treatments.

Tanzanite exhibits different colors when viewed at different angles, and this makes it a pleochroicstone.

When you look at it in sunlight, Tanzanite will show a blue tone. During later parts of the day, the stone can display purple, yellow, and red hues.

When you look at Tanzanite in candlelight or under the light of an ordinary lightbulb, it will show a nice burgundy color with earthy brownish tones!
