Ten Of Cups – Minor Arcana
The meaning of the Ten of Cups Shadowscapes Tarot
The water embraced them both and welcomed them with a soft kiss of the sun. The water glowed warmly and invitingly. They drifted in a smooth and continuous hug and floated thanks to the light emanating from their hearts. Like a pair of sun twins, they were entwined in each other’s attraction and rotated in each other’s orbit. The world out there paused to honor the existence of the intense longing hidden in the twin’s heart. They wanted nothing more. They did not need anything else to be more complete than this moment, but there was always a link between them and the surrounding creatures.
The fish made the surface of the water bubble and surrounded their limbs. Their joy radiated a brilliant protective veil. Fish is a symbol of fulfillment and prosperity. They glided across the deep blue ocean, and their scales shined like gold. Moment of ecstasy in the overflowing happiness, as if this is the last full moment hidden deep under many outer shells, like a school of goldfish swimming in many deep layers of the sea.
Keywords related to the Ten of Cups Shadowscapes Tarot: serenity, unity, faith, reconciliation, fullness, joy-filled, contentment, safety, prosperity, protection, satisfaction, love, marriage, sincere friendship, cooperation, compatibility, peace, eternity, wish comes true, the Thanksgiving.

Ogham

Generosity, discretion, beauty, subtlety, the occult, perception of abundance
Tree: Honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.)
Letter: P
The Ogham itself is like a bunch of ZIP files waiting to reveal itself to the patient and the thoughtful. Learning the secrets of magic is not a matter of coercion but instead a dedicated pursuit of perceiving subtle meanings and gently working with natural forces. The occult, as much as some people may want to imbue it with paranoid, ghastly images of blood sacrifice, merely means “the hidden”, meaning that which is not obvious and must be gleaned, sussed out, and pored over in order to understand.
Whether you are an occultist or not, it’s a good life strategy simply not to talk about every one of your inner thoughts and to censor yourself depending on who you are with. Some of your secrets never need to be known by anyone besides you, and that is OK. Honesty is often NOT the best policy, except with yourself when assessing your flaws and strengths.
As this Ogham connects with honeysuckle, it also ties in with the concept of generosity and the perception of abundance. The honeysuckle’s graceful, arching habit and profusion of sweetly-scented flowers provides nectar and shelter for many bugs and small animals.
Generosity is in no way the exclusive trait of the rich; in fact, the poor are notably more generous than the rich. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, people in the bottom 20 percent tend to give more than their capacity to give while Americans in the top 40 percent are capable of donating two or three times more than they actually give. Perhaps this is because the poorer you are, the more likely you are to have empathy you have for those who equally poor or poorer than you. Or perhaps this is because poor people are likely to appreciate the small abundances they have instead of hoarding and jealously standing in constant, miserable guard of their wealth like certain types of rich people. The elites at the pinnacle of modern monetary wealth are latter-day ogres: monsters who skulk in caves full of stolen gold coins, plundered weapons, and blood-crusted jewels. The perception of plenty often is one and the same as plenty, which is why having “lots of toys” has never been the path to happiness. Abundance has to come from somewhere, and one of the reasons some rich people are so unhappy and mentally disturbed these days is because many have spent lifetimes denying their own privilege while hoarding wealth that came from unfair consequences offloaded on those poorer than them and the ecosystem itself. Such “abundance” has a hefty karmic price, and it is as if the modern day rich ogres sense this and it quietly drives them mad.
The secret here is that generosity is a form of living by the golden rule. Give without fear and worry and you will always feel contented. Conversely, clinging greedily to material abundance and status symbols out of fear of not having enough ensures you will never feel you have enough, no matter how rich you become. Uilleand tells you to spread your generosity and to send your wealth back into the flow of nature. Give whatever you can. You’ll always have just enough. Uilleand is the perception of plenty: be generous with what you have and like will attract like.

Hexagram Sixteen/16
Yü / Enthusiasm
Thunder comes resounding out of the Earth:
Similar thunder roars up from the masses when the Superior Person strikes a chord in their hearts.
Whip up enthusiasm, rally your forces, and move boldly forward.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
There is a rhythmic force, a world music, that lives deep in the Unconscious of each of us.
It’s a primitive drumbeat, a shaking rattle, a tribal chant that invokes the primal self to rise up and join the dance.
This is the enthusiasm that is generated now.
Not rhetorical persuasion, not a play on the emotions, but a charismatic, irresistible Call of the Wild.
Confucius said that the person who could comprehend this could ‘rule the world as though it were spinning in his hand.’
This is a time for instinct, not intellect — the Thunder from the Beneath.
Numerology

Nine
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.

September 9, 2023 Current Moon Phase and Northern Hemisphere’s Planetary Positions
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 September 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
Today’s Waning Crescent Phase
The Waning Crescent on September 9 has an illumination of 26%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On September 9 the Moon is 24.53 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

From MoonGiant.com
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. This upcoming Full Moon will be the second of August 2023 known as a Blue Moon.
During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.
Visit the August 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase
The Waxing Gibbous on August 27 has an illumination of 82%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On August 27 the Moon is 10.64 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon.

From MoonGiant.com
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.
Visit the August 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
Today’s New Moon Phase
The New Moon on August 16 has an illumination of 0%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On August 16 the Moon is 0.08 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

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
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:
- 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.

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.

Another day of riding in the Jeep for a few hours after I try to get WOTC stuff done. I am catching up on emails as quickly as I can.
For those who subscribe to Life in The Craft magazine via Patreon I am sorry but there will be no more issues I do not have the time for all the research and everything else to do the magazine justice. I am switching the Spell tier on Patreon to $3.00 USD per month so you will be able to get a spell once a week in place of the magazine. This is a $2.00 discount from where the spell tier cost per month is now. All spells that are already on Patreon will be switched to this new tier between today and tomorrow. The name of this special tier will still be “Luxury Witch” only for those who subscribed to Life in The Craft magazine before August 7, 2023.
