As the Shadows get Bigger and Bigger all I can do is Fight the Good Fight.
Astrology, Art, and Magic November 20 2024
I have two blank canvases waiting for me in my studio. Yesterday, I volunteered in an art class for neurodivergent adults. I get so much joy working there. I have to say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made this year.
And as the shadows get bigger and bigger, I fight the good fight. I’m not ignorant of the shadows, I don’t subscribe to the “love and light only” philosophy.
Last night, before I went to bed, I thanked the invisibles for my little life, because I never know when my time is up. I figure gratitude helps me feel better, helps me fight the darkness.
I’m trying to set up a Pagan/witchy meet up in my hood. I’m working on taking a step out of my comfort zone. I’ve started teaching again. I’m ready to put on my witches hat and get busy, by running a group, and doing something positive for the magical community.
This is the song stuck in my head:
Astrology:
Moon moves into Leo
We have the opportunity to be brave, to be sparkly and to shine out. Dress to impress, plan something social. Work on building up your sense of self confidence. The Moon governs our emotions, and it’s a big boost to treat ourselves kindly and indulge in a small luxury. Leo is also about generosity, so give to others, and practice kindness so that the world becomes a better place.
Moon opposes Pluto in Aquarius: Pluto governs, power, control, and the underbelly of things. In the sign of Aquarius things get funky, it feels like the community has gone mad. Oppositions create an awareness. Conspiracy theories will be intense today, and in among the miasma of misinformation are some conspiracy facts. Watch your pride, it could blindside you. Listen to that gut feeling. Pay attention to the red flags. Step back and avoid getting into a battle with trolls on social media.
Moon conjuncts Mars:
Mars is the planet that guides our energy, anger, passion and drive, in the sign of Leo we are encouraged to feel pretty sexy, courageous and bold. Challenge yourself to do something that you’ve been too afraid to do. Life is an adventure! Pick up that big canvas, go to an open mike event, lead the way towards making life better for everyone.
Spell: Making a cleansing Mask as a beauty treatment when the Moon is in Leo.
What you need: 3 tbs of Oatmeal (the magical property of oats are love, trust and the ability to endure life’s ups and downs gracefully.)
and 3 tsp of honey (Honey has powerful protection magic it also has strong love magic properties)
Use a special mortar and pestle reserved for magic, to mix the two together into a paste.
Put it on your face for 15 min (test for allergy reactions before you do) Play soothing meditation music, and clear your mind as the magic takes hold.
Wash it off with water, seeing all the stress and impurities wash down the drain with the facial. Thank the invisibles for their magic.
Art: Temperance card. (sold and in a private collection). This painting is all about the alchemy involved in creating a balance between two opposing forces, and how this alchemy transforms us.
