Readers Questions | What is Waning and Waxing with the Moon?

Hi Jacqueline You have an awesome site! I couldn’t undrestand the waxing, winding, new moon ect…..When is the best day or what situation should be the moon for good luck? Thanks, Ralph ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Ralph, The time from the New Moon (meaning when the sky is dark until there is a full circle in the sky) is auspicious, or very lucky for bringing in good things – like money, lovers, jobs, business, etc. The Moon  is considered to be “waxing” at this time. This is a two week period for you to burn candles to bring in anything positive  that you need. The two week period from the first night of the Full Moon (full circle Moon until completely dark in the sky) is considered a time that the Moon is “waning”. This is the Moon time to work “banishing”, “reversible”, or “revenge” – type of work. You are working with the dark aspects of the Moon. This is for getting rid of bad girlfriends, gossipy co-workers, nosy neighbors – anyone who vexes you and just causes drama that you don’t need. You can also use this time for habits like smoking, biting your nails, etc. To find out where and when each Moon is going to occur, continue to read the Free Candle Spells site or invest in a subscription to one of the Horoscope magazines or seek an ephemeris on the Internet. Thanks for the good question!...

Full Moon in Leo | January 30, 2010 – Resolve Your Differences with Peace!

The Full Moon in Leo occurs on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at E.S.T. This lunation, in the sign of Leo, is considered “Fixed”; meaning the energy expelled is unchangeable, aggressive, consistent and creative. The message of the Full Moon in Leo is that it is time to resolve your differences and do it with a peaceful, loving manner. We are not all perfect and all make mistakes. You can be civil  in public to those who have wronged you – you just don’t need to invite them into your life again! This is an opportune time to recreate your altar and to create your most dramatic spell. Remembering that the Full Moon energy is “Release, “banish”, and “Reverse”, use this time for your most powerful Reversible Candle spells. For you that are new to candle burning, here is a photo of  the correct Reversible Candle to use – with the Black Wax on TOP, not the bottom  half of the candle. To read more about Reversible Candles, click the category on the right side of the page marked “Reversible Candles”. This is not the time for bringing in things like money, but use the same category to banish – meaning “banish” those bills, “reverse” that dwindling bank account, “release” those credit card bonds that hold you from finanacial freedom. This is also a good time to “send away” any bad boyfriends or girlfriends, crazies, nosy neighbors and the ilk. You need to do somewhat of a “house cleaning” to start anew in two weeks. The next New Moon will occur on Saturday, February 13...

New Moon in Capricorn | January 15, 2010 – Focus on Your Goals

The New Moon in Capricorn will occur at 2:12 am E.S.T. on Friday, January 15, 2009. The Moon in Capricorn is considered “Cardinal”, and the energy with this placement is the most materialistic of all lunar placements and signs. It is energetic, innovative and practical. There is also a Solar Eclipse on this date and since eclipses rule for about six months, the lessons from Capricorn that we need to understand are taking responsibility and working towards gaining self-respect and the respect of others in aspect of handling responsibilties in a proper manner. This is the time to do the ‘own up’! Please note: Mercury will turn direct on this day as well. You may hear some surprising news! Please watch what you say about others. Now is the time to put into place all of the candles to be burned for needed money from unexpected places. It is also most auspicious for burning candles for any kind of material necessities to continue to sustain yourself and your loved ones. This is especially true if you have been waiting for these items to come your way. ***Warning*** this is not the time to exact revenge on someone as it will protect the non-offender. You will need to wait until another time to give them a  “universal whuppin'”, so to speak. Try not to speak wrongly or accuse someone of anything at this time as Justice in on the side of the innocent and you might get the “cosmic” smack upside the head! I conduct a Prosperity Experiment twice a year to harness this energy and bring in needed money, prosperity and security in these tough times. For more information and to order your participation in the Prosperity Experiment ,click here. Our next Full Moon will be on January 30,...

Full Moon in Cancer | Thursday, December 31, 2009 – Things are Getting Better!

The Full Moon in Cancer will occur at 2:14 pm E.S.T. on Thursday, December 31, 2009. Not only is this a Full Moon but a “Blue Moon” as well; one of two Full Moons within the 31 days of December. There will also be a Lunar Eclipse today as well. The Moon in Cancer is considered “Cardinal”; it is emotional, energetic and innovative. Lighting candles during this time for swaying the influence of others or controlling and compelling others to do as they promised or as you wish is suggested. Full Moon candle burning rituals are used for banishing and sending away things that are negative in nature – bad relationships, nosy neighbors, bills – so remember to banish your credit card bills, banish bad habits that keep you healthy, send away unruly teenager attitudes andkick to the curb anyone who is keeping you down and from the success you want to achieve. Participating in a Banishing Ritual, such as the one I perform at the end of each year, is helpful in making these changes. To read more about it, click here. Remember that we are also under the influence of a Mars Retrograde and a Mercury Retrograde, so that ‘action’ and ‘communication’ are also hindered. You may find that you do not want to do anything or say anything, but remember that Cancer is the astrological symbol of home and hearth, food and family, so now might be a good time to ‘clean house’ – both figuratively and literally! This way, the New Year begins with a fresh start – a  clean house and a new set of home ruls that everyone can live, and love by. Our next New Moon occurs on January 15, 2010 and it will be a Solar Eclipse on that...
