Moon in Libra - The Moon in Libra opens our sociability, brings a
friendly egalitarian vibe and encourages us to connect. This transit is a
time to seek justice, romance, meet, approach, create, beautify, find
out our balance, and balance our needs with others. This transit concerns
cooperation, harmony, focus on relationships and find artistic pursuits.
All partnership activity will be heightened during this moon transit. For
those not in a relationship - you may crave a partnership or feel alone
and lonely. Be aware of superficial bonding just to ease the pain of
aloneness.  Moon in Libra highlights the magick of the dance of inter-
relatedness - friendly, romantic and searching for a way to connect.
Libra asks us to treat those around us as equals and make sure our
politics and art, our lovemaking and our networks integrate. Tend to
the beauty of your garden and landscape - cultivate but don'e plant.
Those born under a Libra Moon sign came here to find beauty in
cooperation. They may need to learn to hear their own voice under
conflict. They offer us bone-deep kindness, ,meditation and justice.

The Moon goes void of course tonight at 9:30PM EDST and at
8:31AM EDST moves in the Cardinal Water Sign of Scorpio.
At 2:11AM EDST in the early morning hours it enters the Gibbous
Phase.  There will be a Full Moon next Monday on June 4th.

Thor's Day - Thursday has the planetary association of Jupiter and
this day of the week is associated with prosperity and abundance and
good health. While prosperity and abundance are a typical magickal
concern on Thor's Day - the way people define prosperity can vary
greatly between individuals.  Just by believing in yourself and working
towards creating abundance, health and prosperity you have already
begun to transform your outlook to life. Put on your game face and
think positively.  Work with Thor for perseverance and courage
and apply those qualities to your own prosperity spells and healing
witchery.

Moon in Leo:  The Moon in Leo illuminates our extroverted sides;
we brim with generosity but can get stuck in our own perspective.
Time to: shine, express, dramatize, celebrate, create, appreciate, stage,
reach out and be generous with our attention; watch assumptions and
do not push the stubborn. With the Moon in Leo we have the guts to
be visible and bring culture to life. In your garden or life, arrange, glorify,
and weed the extraneous so your star can shine, but don't plant or
fertilize. Dramatic happenings, especially concerning emotions, being the
center of attention, exuberance, vitality and working with patriarchal issues
are all hallmarks of the Leo Moon. It's high drama with a Leo Moon transit
as she steps out onto the stage to entertain us once again. You may feel like
acting out the drama queen part of yourself or just be romantic. This is a time
of vital energy, affection and romance and a Leo extravaganza. It's hard to
recognize limits in a Leo Moon transit. It's also time for power issues to
erupt. Who will be the center of attention? Ambition and independent leadership
are important issues. Leo has great pride which is evident now. You will want
to spend money during Moon  in  Leo.  Moon in Leo is the best time to work
magick involving authority, power over others, courage, fertility or childbirth.
Healing rituals for ailments of the upper back, spine or heart are also done during
this period of time. As the moon moves to Virgo, the ambitious energy of Leo
becomes unassuming and this happen late tonight. The Moon enters Virgo at
2:06AM EDST tomorrow morning. One born under a Leo Moon can fill a room
with personality and make the most of any situation, but may need to learn to honor
the quiet, the mundane or another's reality.

Crescent Moon - The Moon is 45-90 degrees ahead of the sum. The
crescent faces East, the gates of rebirth. The Moon rises at mid-morning
and sets after sunset. The crescent's greatest strength is at the midpoint.
Work for animals, business, change, emotions, matriarchal strength. She
is the first sliver of Moon seen in the western sky in the late afternoon or
early evening. The Crescent Moon is the SPROUT. The seed has broken
through the earth and reaches up as she ventures from the dark, moist earth
she has known. Keywords for the Crescent Moon are: expansion, growth,
struggle, and opportunity. It is the time in a lunar cycle that you gather the
wisdom learned in the New phase and communicate your intention to move
forward. Light a candle. Write or read an affirmation. LISTEN & ABSORB.
Commit to your goals. Those born during the waxing Crescent phase feel
they must break from the past to create their own destiny.

Moon in Cancer - The Moon in Cancer deepens our feelings; our moods
are stormy and vast, our hunger and desire to feed others sharpens. We protect
our own, nest in our cave, need to know we're safe. Hunger grows, but for
more than food. This transit is a time to water, plant, feed, nest, comfort, secure,
dive deep into feelings. With Moon in Cancer our feelings take the lead. Cancer
encourages the wisdom rising out of our oceanic unconscious through moods and
feelings Ground in the magick of our home as a temple. Ask what needs protecting
and feeding. Plant, fertilize and water your garden. Moon in Cancer is the best time
to work magick for home and domestic life. Healing rituals for ailments of the chest
or stomach are also done during this period of time. Those born under a Cancer
Moon sign search for what nurtures their soul and the world's. They may need to
learn to carry their security with them. They respect our deepest feelings, and ease our
past fears.

Thor's Day - Jupiter Day - the Day of  Vision, Spiritual Insight and Expansion.... Thrusday
has the planetary association of Jupiter, and this day of the week is associated with prosperity,
abundance, leadership and good health. Prosperity and abundance are the typical concerns
on a Thursday. However, the way people define prosperity can vary greatly among individuals.

New Moon - The moon is 0-45 degrees directly ahead of the sun,
rising at dawn and setting at sunset. It's age is 0-1 day. Magick should
be performed between dawn and sunset. A new moon's power is
embryonic, you can be assured that the power of any spell cast at
this time goes on. Working with Sun Goddesses such as Sekhmet, Vesta,
or Heartha or the God Ra will increase power. Work for self, carreers,
or romance. This phase is also known as the Dark Moon phase. Astrologically
the Sun and Moon are in conjunction. Because the Sun's light overpowers
the nearby Moon in the day, and the Moon is on the other side of the Earth
with the Sun at  night, she is not visible in the sky at all. The New Moon is like
a SEED planted in the earth. We cannot see Her but She is ready to grow, full
of potential and energy for Her new journey. Those who born during the New
Moon phase are impulsive, passionate and intuitive. They are risk takers and
pioneers. The New Moon is the beginning of a new cycle. Keywords for this
New phase are: beginning, birth, emergence, projection, and clarity. During this
phase the new cycle is being seeded by your vision, inner and outer. Engage in
physical activity. Spend time alone. VISUALIZE your goals for the 29.6-day
cycle ahead.

Moon in Gemini - The Moon in Gemini wakes us up; we lose our concentration
but quicken our communication. The conversation sparkles our thinking, broadens
but doesn't deepen. This transit is a time to: network, investigate, translate, brainstorm,
meditate, prune, edit, explain and broadcast. The Moon in Gemini quickens our nervous
system. Build a web of understanding - network, absorb new information. Speak to your
plants, trim but avoid planting. This is a time of communication and other means of expression,
freedom, adaptability, short journeys, reading or writing, a desire for variety and having more
than one thing going at once. You may feel talkative and might want to work with your hands
during the moon's transit in Gemini. All communication (talking, writing or reading) and intellectual
matters are easier during a Gemini Moon transit. We may be more adaptable and changeable, so
take all statements and promises with a grain of salt, especially if the person has proven fickle
in the past. It's a hard time to make any decisions, but a good time to use your wit and cleverness
in conversations. There is a strong desire for variety and freedom in emotional matters and
environmental issues. Issues of the practical world are set aside for now. Moon in Gemini is the
best time to work magick for good communication, change of residence, writing, public relations,
and travel. Healing rituals for ailments of the shoulders, arms, hands or lungs are also done
during this period of time. Towards the end of the transit, when the moon approaches the Sign
of Cancer (which will be Wednesday morning), interactions and communications become more
emotional. Those born under a Moon in Gemini can talk to anyone, think fast, multi-task, shift
moods with grace but need to choose depth and focus. These people want to understand and
they live and breathe communication but they need to learn to honor stillness and communication.
They translate for us and question us.

Sun Day - Sun Day is the Day of Intent, Creation and Renewal - The Latin term for Sunday,
our first day of the week, is Dies Solis ('sun's day'). In ancient Greek it was called Hermena 
Heliou; in the Old English language it was known as Sunnandaeg; in Middle English, Sonenday. 
All of these mean the same thing - the day of the Sunday. [from Ellen Duncan's Book of Witchery ]

Solar Eclipse - A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and the Earth and its shadows fall upon the Earth’s surface. But whether the alignment produces a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse or an annular solar eclipse depends on several factors, --- http://www.space.com/15584-solar-eclipses.html

Moon in Pisces - The Moon in Pisces reveals our Permeability. We dream

and need to ground our dreams. We care, but can become overwhelmed by
our awareness unless we feel spirit working through us. This transit is a time
to: imagine, share, sense, meditate, nurture, soak and find constructive ways
to be sensitive. When the Moon is in Pisces we feel the world with compassion,
heightened senses and strong imagination. We need quiet time in the temple or
back under our covers to deal with sensory overload. This is a time to vision,
listen to inner voices, allow creative juices to flow and touch each other in new
awareness. Plant, transplant, water, and fertilize. During Moon in Pisces
emotional life is more introverted, intuition is at its height and psychic energy
is powerful. You are now able to get in touch with your deepest self, but it can
also be a time of vagueness, unclarity and uncertainty. Pisces is about endings
as a result of internal processing. With this moon you may notice a moodiness
in others around you, yet it's also an opportunity to fully appreciate art and beauty.
Many women have a good cry during a Pisces moon transit, washing away their
troubles or perhaps you will be the compassionate friend for someone who needs
to share their troubles. We cry during Moon in Pisces because it's the most watery
of all the zodiac signs. Pisces Moon brings a retreat into the self to do the internal
processing and contemplation necessary at least once during a lunar cycle. The
outer world busyness becomes fuzzy and vague, issues are clouded and cold, hard
facts slide through your fingers like slippery fish. Things are  not what they seem, so
don't be confused by this transit.
  Moon in Pisces is the best time to work magick involving dreamwork, clairvoyance,
telepathy, music and the creative arts. Healing rituals for ailments of the feet or lymph
glands are also done at this time. Those born under a Pisces Moon came here to feel
everything; they may need to filter impressions and find their deep strength. They offer
us insight, imagination, and subtle, compassionate medicine while encouraging our vision.

Sun Day - is the Day of Intent, Creation and Renewal - Creation Day   The charms and
spells that would complement this magickal day of the Sun are ones for personal achievements
of any kind. Health issues, increasing personal power  or simply sticking to your diet and
being proud of what you have accomplished.

Disseminating Moon - The Moon rises at mid evening and sets at mid-morning.
The time of the souls (3 Am) would be the midpoint here. Banishing work starts
now. Workings should focus on addictions, decisions, divorce, emotions, stress
and protection.  As we go into the darkening phase of the Disseminating Moon,
we get the FRUIT of the moon plant's life cycle - the fruits of wisdom and experience.
This Moon is the waning full moon getting visibly smaller. She is visible from the time
she rises almost until she sets. Those who are born in a Disseminating phase find that
life must have meaning, purpose. They enjoy sharing their ideas with others.

Gibbous Moon - The Waxing Gibbous Moon is 135-180 degrees ahead

coming Full Moon. The Gibbous Moon rise midafternoon and sets before
dawn. She is the bulging Moon getting ready to be Full, visible soon after
She rises until She sets The Waxing Gibbous Moon is the BUD of the plant,
the pulse of life tightly wrapped,  wanting to expand. Keywords for the
Gibbous Moon are: analyze, prepare and trust. It is the time in a lunar cycle
to process the results of the actions taken during the First Quarter. During
this phase you are gathering information. Give up making judgments, it will
only lead to worry. Your knowledge is incomplete. Laugh, analyze and
filter. LOOK WITHIN.   For those born during the Gibbous Moon phase,
their talents lie in the ability to refine, organize and purify.  They are seekers,
utilizing spiritual tools as guides on their path.

Moon in Libra - The Moon in Libra opens our sociability, brings a friendly,

harmony, focus on relationships, and fine artistic pursuits. When the Moon is in
Libra you might enjoy attending an art gallery opening, the opera or taking your
partner to dinner. All partnership activity will be heigntened during this moon transit.
But those not in a relationship may crave a partnership or feel alone and lonely. Be
aware of superficial bonding just to ease the pain of aloneness. The Moon in Libra
is a nice time to throw a party. Everyone will be extremely social and try to please
and flatter others. Moon in Libra is the best time to work magick involving artistic
work, justice, court cases, partnerships and unions, mental stimulation, and karmic,
spiritual or emotional balance.  Healing rituals for ailments of the lower back or kidneys,
are also done during this period of time. Those born under a Libra Moon are
peacemakers, but need to remember to keep themselves in the equation. They see the
beauty and seek fairness, and help us to understand one another.
