The New Moon occurs on Friday, November 5, 2010 at 11:52 p.m. E.S.T. This moon, in the sign of Scorpio, is considered a “Fixed” Water sign, meaning that it is unchangeable, emotional and stable. The New Moon in Scorpio is a good time to devise and plan your candle spells but not act them out now. This is because your intentions might come to light with the “victim” or “target” and they may have a counter-attack up their sleeves! Observe, track and investigate your intended person, but do not begin your candle spell if it is be of an attacking Nature. Let things sit and stew until a more fortuitous Moon occurs.
The New Moon in Scorpio, along with the motion of other planets, causes a astrological “roadblock” for the plans of most. Do not worry, as this will clear in a few days, but the confusion it causes will be a head scratcher, as you will be wondering why there was a roadblock at all! The reason for the delay i that you needed to be given the time to examine alternatives and to ‘sit and think a spell’ on your motives, reasons and potential outcomes.
The New Moon is considered by old tyme candle burning practitioners to be the optimum time for burning candles to bring in “good things” into you life and into the home. Burning green candles for the next two week anointed with “Money Drawing” Oil is reputed to bring in needed funds for the home. Red candles anointed with “Fast Luck” or “Attraction” Oil boost the magnetic qualities for attracting all kinds of luck, love or money, as you so desire. Pink candles started now for love and romance gain power as the waxing Moon grows larger just as the heart grows fonder of the loved one. Yellow or Gold “Success” candles anointed with the appropriate oils can boost studying power for students doing mid-terms and those looking for new employment.
