SUN SIGNS: ASTROLOGICAL / ZODIAC SIGNS

 ARIES the Ram (21 Mar - Apr 19) Cardinal, Fire Sign. Independent, Aries is the
beginning of the Zodiac and the final age in the Correlian Calendar. Aries is the
pioneer. Ambitious and optimistic, Aries has energy to burn and usually speaks
bluntly, though not quite as bluntly as his fire-sign brother, the Sagittarian.
Headstrong, capable, impulsive, idealistic, daring and confident, the Aries has
many virtues. His weaknesses include a tendency towards being self-centered, hot
tempered, and impatient. Aries are good at planning and can work easily alone or
in a group. Aries is great at starting projects, but often has to struggle to finish
them.

head and brain. Use the moon in Aries to heal ailments found in these bodily

 TAURUS the Bull (20 Apr - May 20) Fixed, Earth Sign. Stubborn, but practical,
Taurus is ruled by Venus and is the most considerate of the three earth signs.
Though Taurus is often motivated by a need for material things, she usually
considers the greater good that those earthy items will have on her family.
Thoughtful, realistic, down to earth, patient and sensual. The Taurus can become
overly reserved or concerned with things like security, preserving and safety.
Usually these are good attributes, but can become a problem when the Taurus is
out of her natural balance. Being too possessive is a common complaint that other
signs will make about an unhealthy Taurus. However, when Taurus is healthy and
in balance, (which is often--she sees to it) she is great at managing finances,
negotiating, consulting, working with property and achieving concrete results.

conversationalists and easily make people feel heard and at ease when conversing.

and alert these people are easily capable of multi-tasking. Their weaknesses

sign of Cancer are the kindest and most considerate of the zodiac. They are highly
emotional and tend to "feel" other people's pain more acutely than other signs.
The home is their sanctuary from the coarseness of the world. They tend to worry
more than other signs, but this may be because of their heightened sense of
intuition. Their flaws include being moody, cranky and brooding at times. When
they are healthy and in balance, their pursuits of cooking, homemaking and crafty
hobbies prevent emotional disruptions. A cardinal sign in the zodiac, they are
adept at business and is able to manage others with remarkable ability.

 LEO the Lion (23 Jul - Aug 22) Fixed, Fire Sign. Leo's are direct, though not
quite as intensely as Sagittarians. However, they have powerful personalities that
command respect. Ruled by the sun, they have "sunny" personalities that ensure
that their charisma is unparalleled. Generous, loyal and dynamic, they are
adventurous and dramatic. Competitions fuel them and they are usually confident
with good reason. Instinctively adept at social situations, they easily reign at
parties. They are generally good at athletics, politics and teaching though find

all else. Highly analytical and often scientifically minded, these people are
obsessed with facts and can be very "Spock-like". Needless to say these people
have the seeds of profound competency in their genes. Their flaws include being
too perfectionist, cold and even discriminating at times. Ironically, they can be
reckless and expect too much in return for their favors. They often need to be
dragged into social situations lest they bury themselves in their work.

 LIBRA the Scales (23 Sep - Oct 22) Cardinal, Air Sign. Fairness is their name.
Balance is their game. In all areas of their lives, they seek balance. They eat to
balance, speak to balance and act to balance. Libra's are perceptive, sensitive and
selfless. They help the rest of the zodiac signs to see things from other people's
perspectives. One flaw they appear to have is an inability to make decisions--
though this is more often just a delay as they carefully weigh all their options
before making decisions. Libras are great jurors and generally wise about legal
issues. Remarkably adept at public relations, counseling and especially art.

 SCORPIO the Scorpion (23 Oct - Nov 21) Fixed, Water Sign. Highly sensual
and intuitive, the Scorpio has an intense magnetic and often secretive personality.
Few possess the innate psychic and clairvoyant skills that this sign has. Highly
complex, these people often seem aloof on the surface but below the skin a
simmering energy boils just within their control. Their flaws include a tendency to
be possessive once they choose a mate or even a friend. Most retain control over
their emotions unless imbalance or poor health strike them. Highly gifted at the
occult and unraveling the hidden activities of others.

purposes: lust, sexuality, power, possessing something, psychic development,

 SAGITTARIUS the Archer (22 Nov - Dec 21) Mutable, Fire Sign. Outspoken,
blunt and direct even to a fault. Truth is the highest moral of the Sagittarian. They
are also opinionated and charitable. Determined with the passion of their ruling
sign, fire, Sagittarians are also pragmatic but idealistic and even hopeful that
things will turn out right. Compassionate and friendly, these people often remind
friends of a carefree puppy who plays and seeks to turn anyone's frown upside-
down. They are highly sensual but need to work hard to maintain attachment to
others since they tend to be narrow-minded about other people's issues. When
they see problems with other people they are quick to help, but the problem is
getting them to see them. As a fire sign, they dislike authority and demand the
authority figures measure up in ability and confidence (though not arrogance) in
order to sit in the driver's seat. Highly intuitive (though not as much as the
Scorpio) and spiritual, they are great at psychic readings and nearly all creative
pursuits. Teaching, acting and ministry work are among their strong suits.

The moon in Sagittarius is the best time to work spells & rituals for the following
purposes: truth, legal cases, travel, confidence, creativity, any untested spells,
happiness and friendship. Sagittarius rules the liver, thighs and hips. Use the
moon in Sagittarius to heal ailments found in these bodily locations. Candle color:
DARK BLUE or PURPLE.

 CAPRICORN the Goat (22 Dec - Jan 19) Cardinal, Earth Sign. As Aries tends to
start projects and not finish them, Capricorn starts few projects but completes all
of them. They are cold at times and seem detached even from childhood.
 However they tend to out-grow this trait as they age. They are powerful behind-
the-scenes people and rarely take the spotlight for themselves but choose rather to
benefit from the shadows from the public successes of others. They are ambitious
and driven, but beneath it all they have a secret: they do everything to provide for
or gain the approval of their families. Professional, productive, responsible and
conservative, many people see Capricorns as overly reflective, but they are not
simply reviewing the past. They view history as cyclic and crave to know what
concrete details will affect them and their families in the future. They make great
matriarchs or patriarchs as they rule with determination but also compassion and
warmth. When they lack some skill, they make up for it with determination. Their
flaws include being moody & depressed at times. Practicality usually pulls them
out of their strange moods since they interfere with productivity. They make great
producers and directors.

The moon in Capricorn is the best time to work spells & rituals for the following
purposes: stability, organization, ambition, the manifestation of needed material
items, recognition, political maneuvering, career and completing projects that are
difficult or may have stalled. Capricorn rules the knees, bones and teeth. Use the
moon in Capricorn to heal ailments found in these bodily locations. Candle color:
BLACK or DARK BROWN.

 AQUARIUS the Waterbearer (20 Jan - Feb 18) Fixed, Air Sign. Public minded
and highly charitable, Aquarians have a deep-seeded need for equality. They are
determined and idealistic. They work better in crowds than one-on-one
interactions. Their compass for the needs of people they have never even met is so
strong that they are often moved to action. It is not uncommon to see and
Aquarian as a member of groups like the ACLU or other rights groups. With all
this they also tend to be detached and even impersonal with close friends and
family members. Lovers need to understand that it is not their fault that their
Aquarian lovers act this way. Aquarians while not Cardinal still need to be in
charge of themselves and hate giving up authority in their own backyard. Deep
down they believe that everyone is a kind. Their hope that society will one day
eliminate all controls is one that they keep to themselves. Highly intuitive and
psychic, Aquarians are excellent at creative pursuits, inventing new gadgets and
science projects. NOTE: Aquarius is the second age in the Corellian calendar. We
have just entered the age of Aquarius. It will last approximately 1584 years.
 The moon in Aquarius is the best time to work spells & rituals for the following
purposes: charity, freedom, creativity, social situations, psychic ability,
divination, friendship, banishing addictions, global changes for the good of
society. NOTE: Use this sign with caution. Be sure your intentions are pure and
your needs do not seek to control others or face reversal of your spell intent.
Aquarius rules the calves, ankles and blood. Use the moon in Aquarius to heal
ailments found in these bodily locations.

 PISCES the Fishes (19 Feb - Mar 20) Mutable, Water Sign. Highly reflective, the
Pisceans carry the burden of all the other signs within themselves. They are the
final stage of astrological evolution and many people believe that after completing
Piscean stage of reincarnation, that these people choose not to return to earth.
Pisces is the sign that is most understanding of the flaws and faults of all the other
signs. Unfortunately, they are also prone to addiction if they are not careful.
Addictions help them to cope with the overwhelming burden of empathizing with
other people's problems almost as though they were their own troubles. However
Pisces has a powerful nature and can overcome this final cosmic test if they just
remember how needed they are and how productive their contributions are to the
world. As a water sign Pisces is strongly psychic, clairvoyant and capable of
divining the future. Their intuition is one that they would be well to follow since it
rarely fails them. Their flaws include being overly impressionable and sensitive at
times. They can also be vulnerable, but held in check, this is hardly a bad thing.

The moon in Pisces is the best time to work spells & rituals for the following
purposes: psychic ability, divination, necromancy, past life regressions,
communing with spirits or ghosts, dream spells, lucid dreaming, astral projection,
creativity, music and love. Pisces rules the feet and lymphatic system. Use the
moon in Pisces to heal ailments found in these bodily locations. Candle color:
LIGHT YELLOW or PALE BLUE
 Planetary Influences in Magick
Use the following correspondences to align your ritual workings with the seven
planetary influences. Each of the Seven Stars correspond to different times and
objects in the universe. To determine the correct planetary hours, you can use the
system presented in the Planetary Hours Chart.
 Moon Traveling Through the Signs of the Zodiac

The above title looks complicated, but it's the best way that I can think of to describe this
section. The moon is constantly traveling through one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. It
imparts different energies to us as it moves from one sign and into another. Planning your
rituals around the appropriate dates is an extremely effective way of adding energy to
your magick. By following the below indications you can easily coordinate your
workings with the proper time periods. Keep in mind that the moon stays in each zodiac
sign for about 2 1/2 days before briefly becoming Void of Course and then changing to
another sign. This seems like a short period each month to be able to perform specific
spells, however, sometimes the moon will enter a sign early enough in the month that it
will return to it again at the end of the month giving you double the time to work with
that same sign each month. Also, some ritual intentions are compatible with more than
one astrological sign, and this increases the amount of time you have available to you as
well.

Moon in Aries

Aries is the beginning of the soul's evolution and thus the beginning of new projects is
especially favored at this time. As the zodiac's cardinal fire sign, Aries imparts massive
energy to workings that involve leadership, will power and authority. Aries is the infant
of the zodiac and as such is protected by the fierce energy of the planet, Mars. This is also
an excellent time to perform protection rituals as well as any kind of rituals for strength,
power, control, lust and sex.

As ruler of the brain, face and head, the sign of Aries is highly compatible with healing
spells for these areas. Rituals to relieve migraines and sinus trouble are especially
effective during Aries.
 Moon in Taurus

Taurus is the first earth sign in the zodiac chain. It is also ruled by the planet Venus,
which balances Taurus' need for material things with a great tendency for warmth and
love. Spells for money, material goods, and healthy relationships are best performed
during this time. The determined (and sometimes stubborn) nature of Taurus makes it
especially powerful in creating long term results.

As ruler of the throat and neck, the sign of Taurus is highly compatible with healing
spells for these areas.

Moon in Gemini

As an air sign, Gemini is most compatible with spells aimed at creativity, fresh ideas,
travel and diplomacy. Gemini can also help to uncover hidden motives, but it is a
difficult sign to work with because its inherent duality can make your ritual workings
shift gears suddenly and without warning.

As ruler of the lungs, shoulders, arms and hands, the sign of Gemini is highly
compatible with healing spells for these areas.

Moon in Cancer

Cancer is a cardinal water sign and as such it is perfect for all spells involving the
family, domestic life, the home, children, and especially fertility. Like all water signs,
Cancer is especially suited to divination work of all kinds.

As ruler of the chest and stomach, the sign of Cancer is highly compatible with healing
spells for these areas.

Moon in Leo

Leo is the second fire sign. All spells having to do with social popularity, leadership,
celebrity, courage, authority, employment and charisma are best performed when the
moon is in Leo.

As ruler of the back, heart and spine, the sign of Leo is highly compatible with healing
spells for these areas.

Moon in Virgo

Virgo is the second earth sign though it's attributes differ considerably from that of
Taurus. Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury and thus its material tendencies are not
tempered by the same degree of emotion that governs the planet Venus. However, spells
for education, intellectual matters, minute detail, health and/or healing are ideally
suited to this sign. With such a powerful mental influence as Mercury in Virgo's corner,
no detail ever gets left to chance, which makes it ideal for workings that necessitate
many different things going on at once to achieve a single goal.

As ruler of the nervous system and intestinal track, the sign of Virgo is highly
compatible with healing spells for these areas.

Moon in Libra

Libra is the second air sign and is represented by the scales as a symbol of its profound
balancing energies. Any spell which requires balancing out extremes is best performed
while the moon is in Libra. Rituals to ease legal problems in which you are in the right
are best suited to this sign. On the other hand, legal problems in which you are not right
and the other party has indeed been wronged will almost certainly fail when performed
under this sign. Also, spells for partnerships, unions, healings, romance, peace and
artistic expression are ideal under Libra.

As ruler of the kidneys and lower back, the sign of Libra is highly compatible with
healing spells for these areas.

Moon in Scorpio

Scorpio is the second water sign and is highly favorable to divination, psychic power
and advanced ritual workings as well as concealing or revealing secret matters.
Scorpio also carries great sexual energy and being a water sign, it is excellent for
workings of fertility. When in doubt concerning the best way to approach a particularly
difficult ritual working, meditation on a Scorpio day will usually provide the necessary
insight for success. Being ruled by the planet, Pluto, Scorpio is well suited to
transformations and reinventing an aspect of a situation or an element of your
personality.

As ruler of the sex organs, the sign of Scorpio is highly compatible with healing spells
for these areas. Rituals to recover from infertility are ideally suited to the sign of
Scorpio.

Moon in Sagittarius

Sagittarius is the third and final fire sign. It carries all the usual fire sign energy, but
being mutable, it also add a great deal of intellectual energy to the mix. Spells performed
for truth, publications, legal matters, healing, communications, protection,
optimism, travel, education and teaching are best suited to Sagittarius.

Also, while Scorpio is best suited to uncovering the mysteries of the occult through
divination (a definitive water sign trait), Sagittarius is best suited to carrying out those
newly discovered techniques (an active, fire sign trait).

Sagittarius, however, is not a good time to perform spells for diplomacy or divination.
As ruler of the thighs, liver and hips, the sign of Sagittarius is highly compatible with
healing spells for these areas.

Moon in Capricorn

Capricorn is the third and final earth sign of the zodiac. Being determined though not
quite as stubborn as Taurus, Capricorn is especially stable and best suited to spells for
organization, ambition, stability, career, acquiring material things and behind the
scenes political moves.

As ruler of the skin, bones, knees and teeth, the sign of Capricorn is highly compatible
with healing spells for these areas.

Moon in Aquarius

Aquarius is the third and final air sign and thus imparts its most advanced elemental
qualities through service to others and ensuring equity among all individuals. Great
creative power can be raised during this time of the moon's transit, but it should be
directed properly in the following areas to avoid imbalance and possible reversal of you
intentions. Work spells for freedom, friendship, psychic abilities, artistic endeavors,
creative flashes, problem-solving, overcoming addiction, learning or furthering
science and aiding the disenfranchised.

As ruler of the blood, ankles and calves, the sign of Aquarius is highly compatible with
healing spells for these areas.

Moon in Pisces

As the third and final water sign, Pisces is the strongest sign for divination
communicating with spirits and any other kind of Mental Magick including clairvoyance,
telepathy, telekinesis, lucid dreaming, Dream Magick and precognition. Creativity as a
form of Mental Magick in and of itself is also strong at this time, but only when
approached in the proper meditative state.

As ruler of the lymphatic system and feet, the sign of Pisces is highly compatible with
healing spells for these areas.

Fire opposes Water

Air opposes Earth

Spell intentions that correlate with fire are less successful when performed when the
moon is in the opposite sign of water. The same is true for air and earth spell intentions.
 *A Final Note on Luminaries
Hippocrates, the celebrated physician and a lesser known astrologer once said, "Man should
never cut into a body part that is ruled by the sign though which the moon is traversing." By this
he meant that we should not undergo operations on a body part when the moon is in that body
part's ruling zodiac sign, because it is a time when the operation could result in delayed healing
or even death. Hippocrates is the same person who developed the Hippocratic Oath that modern
day doctors take before they begin practice.

Planetary Hours

Each of the hours of the day are bound with a particular planetary influence. Use the
charts below to determine the best time for certain types of magick. To determine which
ritual purposes are governed by which plantary influences, visit Planetary Influences.
