But don’t worry. Tonight is not going to be the day Earth is destroyed, like on Deep Impact or Armageddon. On the other hand, tonight, is going to be the night, when the biggest asteroid pays a close visit to our beautiful planet. Don’t miss the chance to see “Florence” – as this celestial object is named – with the code name 3122.
Asteroid Florence will fly to Earth
“Florence” will come as close as 7 million kilometres, to Earth on September 1 2017. You cannot watch it without proper equipment. You will need a telescope. Of course, if you don’t own a telescope you will be able to watch it online!
Remember, the meteor pays no threat. We are not going to be lost like the dinosaurs. The celestial object will pass far away than the moon. Feel safe and have a wonderful, Celestial Night.
Astrologically speaking, the largest asteroid passing through Delphinus symbolises news in diplomacy. A war might be on the verge of breaking out but something always changes. The forces of evil try to corrupt the planet but right now balance prevails. Let’s dust off our wands and spread love and peace.
The keys are very old tools of magic. In fact, a key can be used for both divination and ritual purposes.
Key in Magic
It symbolises the power of the Witch/Mage to change reality and open the doors of the other realms. Usually an old key is used by a Witch/Mage to travel through realms and seek the guidance of higher and wiser entities. The Keys, can also be used later to summon these spirits without much effort.
Moreover, the keys are used in Love and Success spells in the same way. The Spell caster opens the gates of Love and/or success with his/her magic tool. Later, the key is used as a charm for success and love. (Of course we will give you the spells!)
One of the oldest forms of divination require a key and a book. The Witch/Mage asks for the spirits to move the book clockwise or counter-clockwise whether the answer is yes or no. Of course we will give you details for this spell too!

Astrology Explained as a wise art and mighty tool. Primarily known as a form of divination and foretelling the future, Astrology can also be used as a spiritual way. The ways of the Stars can tell us many things about who we truly are, who we were and how will we become in the future. When Explained Astrology can become really helpful.
Astrology Explained and Personality Traits
You already have the chance to read your Astrological Predictions daily – for your sign. If you know your Rising sign – Ascendant or your Moon sign, you are advised to read these predictions too. But why is important to read the Rising sign and the Moon sign ?
The Sun Sign
The Zodiac Sign where the Sun is located shows how the living energy (which is symbolised by the Sun) is channeled in us. The Sun Sign is the most important one as it gives us details on our personality. This is how our life looks like. As Sun is the center of our planetary system we could say that the Sun sign is the center of our personality.
The Moon Sign
Whilst the Sun sign is what is obvious, the Zodiac Sign where our Moon is, reveals what is hidden from plain sight. It shows our true nature, our hidden desires and feelings. The Moon Sign shows how strong our instincts are along with our intuitional capability. For women, it is considered more important than the sign sign as the Moon represents the female archetype, the Great Goddess. The Moon sign also reveals how we feel about love and romance. (See here more about the Secrets of Zodiac Signs)
The Rising Sign – Ascendant
Although the Sun sign shows the active traits of our personality and the Moon sign the passive – hidden ones, the Rising Signs gives us details on how others look at us. It actually is the “mask” we are wearing towards society.
The more harmonic the Rising sign is with the Sun and Moon sign, the more honest and straightforward we are. If it’s not compatible, we intentionally or unintentionally project an illusion when others meet us. Inevitably, we are misunderstood. In this case, people have to hang out with us much more, in order to understand who we really are.
Let’s taste the Wisdom of Astrology Explained for all of us… tell us who you are!
We all know and love that time of year. The time where technology goes splat and communication goes up the wazoo, but Mercury entering Retrograde isn’t all doom, gloom and communication breakdowns. I will endeavour do try and demystify Retrograde and shed some light on what happens and how you can help this time pass a little smoother.
What does Retrograde Mean?
When a planet goes into retrograde there is an apparent change in its movement, they appear to move “backwards”. Technically it’s not moving backwards, it has just slowed down. It’s our minds that make it appear to move backwards, like an optical illusion really, it’s just hanging around the sun. We can’t fully perceive the …changes in the planet’s so our eyes and brains do the best they can to make sense of it.
When does this happen? Each planet had its own retrograde phase, for example Mercury has 3-4 retrograde phases each year and are relatively short in duration, where as a planet such as Saturn will have less retrograde phases and last for longer periods of time.
What does it do to us? All the planets go through a retrograde phase, but we seem to be sensitive to Mercury and his retrograde phase for example. All kinds of things can happen during these times, but it’s like people have gone a little mad. people getting into nonsensical arguments over nothing at all. You may find yourself dragged into them too. Other planets will have other effects. Mercury’s retrograde of the most famous of the retrogrades.
What does Mercury in Retrograde do to us?
What does it do to us? All the planets and some of Moons and Asteroids go through a retrograde phase, but we seem to be sensitive to Mercury and his retrograde phase. All kinds of things can happen during these times, but it’s like people have gone a little mad. people getting into nonsensical arguments over nothing at all. You may find yourself dragged into them too. Mercury also governs communication, so you might find yourself getting tongue tied, or things just come out wrong. Being incoherent is quite common during Mercury retrograde. Recheck everything, save everything you are working on, especially if you are on computer. Electronic equipment is not immune from it, it actually suffers more than most things.
For some it’s a time to reflect on themselves and revert to a hermit-like mode and not interact with people. I really can’t blame them too much really, even the best intentions can get all cocked up by mercury. Others find themselves in an extra irritable mood. Guys, have you ever wondered how it feels for a woman to have PMS? Well, this is the time you can be as irritable as we can be,.
So what is the bad news? The bad news is, no matter how organised you are, no matter how much planning you do, no matter how well thought out something is, it can go to shit at light-speed. Is there any good news? Actually there is, mercury in retrograde can give a new perspective on things, it can literally make us stop and think. By doing this, it is making us look at things with new and fresh perspective. During these times of the year, we find that we have major personal breakthroughs, all because it has made us think and see things differently.
What s the best way to survive Mercury in Retrograde? As with anything in life, the more rigid you are, the more likely you are to break. Take a Piscean view, just go with it. Don’t force something, because you’ll break it, or worse, yourself. When you fight it, that is when you find your life going to crap. Don’t expect too much of yourself and others during this time either, because we are all in the same cosmic boat.
How can you make this phase go smoother?
? Take things people say with a pinch of salt. People become irritable and grouchy, and their communication skills are probably up the wazoo and not thinking straight.
? Save everything, and then save it again. Technology isn’t exempt from the horrors. Make sure whatever you are working on is backed up and saved.
? Don’t make any big decisions. When you aren’t thinking straight, you can make rash decisions that you may regret later. Life won’t stop because of funky planetary movements.
? Don’t pay out for anything uber expensive. If you have to, make sure that you have the receipt to hand. Things tend to go ka-splat, no matter how much you have shelled out.
? Don’t sign anything important. Okay, you can, but make sure know exactly what you are signing. Ask questions, re ask them until you are blue in the face, and then read and check the fine print. Don’t get caught out.
? Travel….. If you are travelling during mercury in retrograde, make sure you check everything thrice, and just to be sure, check it again. Check you have your tickets, times and everything is correct. It is possible for things to go wrong. Heck, be paranoid regarding travel arrangements. lol
? Be loose and free. Let this time take you on a journey, you might find what you have been lacking and what you have been looking for. Being open to new things is never easy, but Mercury will pull you whether or not you are willing, so it is much easier to let it happen naturally.
Advice from a Rainbow Witch
Can I tell you a little secret? Mercury in Retrograde is not as frightening, negative or horrific as some have made it out to be. Sure, things can go wonky, and you can get spun around so fast you get dizzy, but that can happen at any time of the year, Mercury in Retrograde or not. If it’s going to happen, it will, come what may. If you think negatively about it, then that is what you will attract,… and the 3 weeks that Mercury is in Retrograde, will end up being negative because YOU chose to attract it from the Universe.
So, the point of this small rambled advice is; just because you’ve had bad experiences during this time before, doesn’t mean it will be positive this time, however the old saying “your thoughts shape your reality” is very true. Use whatever means you have to keep these negative thought away.
Carry a transmuting crystals like Smoky Quartz, to change negative energies into positive ones.
Write all the negative thoughts you are having on a piece of paper and on another piece of paper (or on Bay leaves) write positive things, and what you’d like to bring into your life burn them with Sage and Rosemary. Once they are burned release the ash to the sky/Universe or bury it away from your house, or throw it in a river or brook and make sure the current move away from your home.
Don’t fear this phase, because once you fear it, it will always conquer you from the inside.

A total solar eclipse occurs when the New Moon comes between the Sun and Earth and casts the darkest part of its shadow, the umbra, on Earth. This is not a common phenomenon and neither humans nor animals reactions are easily predictable.
During the Solar Eclipse nothing feels normal
If it happens to experience the magic of the Solar Eclipse you will definitely feel that something is “wrong” with nature. Everything seems to go mad. Nothing feels normal. Moreover, if you are outdoors you will begin noticing weird stuff happening all around. The energy of the Eclipse will also affect your pets too! The Animals may act as bringers of omens! See here more about the Animals and their omens.
A word of Advice. BE EXTRA CAREFUL when you are driving during the Solar Eclipse. Animals might go mad causing several car accidents!
As we’ve already seen in the Eclipse Magic article, during this stunning phenomenon magical portals are opening and the Realms interact. If halloween is a time when the Veil of the Dead and the Living is extinguished, then the Solar Eclipse is when all Veils vanish! Therefore, it goes without saying that animals – who are more sensitive in perceiving spiritual activities – are affected!
Pets and Animals Reactions
Nocturnal Animals are alert.
Nocturnal Animals will feel more alive than ever. They will get violent. This happens because during the Solar Eclipse it will feel like the Night has come early. Owls will hunt during the day. Bats will go out of their caves filling the skies.
Farm Animals will feel sleepy.
Sheep will find a place to sleep. Cows will also try to have some rest. Chicken will climb the trees like it’s already night-time.
Birds will stop singing.
The magic of the Solar Eclipse will cause so much fear to the animal kingdom that even birds will stop singing. It will feel like they sense an enemy coming.
Birds will make mystic flying patterns.
You will also notice strange flying patterns. If you have time, observe these patterns as it will unveil secrets for your future.
Frogs might “attack” your house/roads.
Be very careful when driving during the Eclipse as – amongst other animals reactions – frogs might act strangely and dangerously. Due to the change of electromagnetic field, they might jump all over the streets causing accidents.
A Storm of Butterflies might appear.
Butterflies will be disorientated. Darkness will affect the way butterflies fly. This happens because they use the light for navigation. This may also cause “a storm of butterflies” manifest as butterflies will try to “communicate” with each other as if a storm is coming. This is one of the most scary and beautiful phenomena I’ve ever experienced.
Dogs will bark – and wolves will howl – all the time.
It’s no secret that Dogs and Wolves are very sensitive to magical activity. They sense the changes. Dogs sense the earthquakes and so they also sense the Eclipses. Even before the eclipse starts, you will notice an unusual behaviour. Most of the times they are scared, barking all the time like a stranger is on the house. Some other times they become violent like their end is approaching. If you live near Mountains wolves may approach your house acting strangely.
Cats will sense the Magic
Amongst the most interesting of the animals reactions are those of the cats. They are extremely sensitive to almost the slightest change of energy around them. Hence they will might act in a very strange way. There are numerous accounts of paranormal reactions or magical abilities manifested by cats during the eclipse. Of course, this is not common but it’s worth noticing your cat, during the time of the Total Eclipse.
It’s here folks, Mercury has entered Retrograde and I have put together a few top tips on how to get through the upcoming weeks. It can be tough, it can be perplexing and it can be really bloody annoying, however, if you are open, it can be an eye-opening time too…
Here are my Top Tips for getting through Mercury in Retrograde
1) Take things people say with a pinch of salt. People become irritable and grouchy, and their communication skills are probably up the wazoo and not thinking straight.
2) Save everything, and then save it again. Technology isn’t exempt from the horrors. Make sure whatever you are working on is backed up and saved.
3) Don’t make any big decisions. When you aren’t thinking straight, you can make rash decisions that you may regret later. Life won’t stop because of funky planetary movements.
4) Don’t pay out for anything uber expensive. If you have to, make sure that you have the receipt to hand. Things tend to go ka-splat, no matter how much you have shelled out.
5) Don’t sign anything important. Okay, you can, but make sure know exactly what you are signing. Ask questions, re ask them until you are blue in the face, and then read and check the fine print. Don’t get caught out.
6) Travel….. If you are travelling during mercury in retrograde, make sure you check everything thrice, and just to be sure, check it again. Check you have your tickets, times and everything is correct. It is possible for things to go wrong. Heck, be paranoid regarding travel arrangements. lol
7) Be loose and free. Let this time take you on a journey, you might find what you have been lacking and what you have been looking for. Being open to new things is never easy, but Mercury will pull you whether or not you are willing, so it is much easier to let it happen naturally.
You Shadow Self is a hidden force of tremendous power which when harnessed can bring great results in our lives. It’s a force made of star dust, of that very material all universe is made.
Your Shadow Self
“It is a frightening thought that man also has a shadow side to him, consisting not just of little weaknesses- and foibles, but of a positively demonic dynamism. The individual seldom knows anything of this; to him, as an individual, it is incredible that he should ever in any circumstances go beyond himself. But let these harmless creatures form a mass, and there emerges a raging monster. ~ Carl Jung, “On the Psychology of the Unconscious“
Let’s find more about your Shadow Self… What do you see first in this picture?
They say that 9 parts of magic fell on this world. 8 parts fell on ancient Egypt and the other one was scattered all over the Earth. From this ancient story we learn how important was – and still is – considered the Egyptian Magic. The History of the Egyptian astrology begins in prehistoric times. 5000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ (around 7000 ago), the circled stone formation (something like Stonehenge) at Nabta Playa is part of the Religious, astrological and astronomical alignments. By the 3rd millennium BCE, Solar Egyptian calendar was already in use and ready to determine the flooding of the sacred river of Egypt, Nile.
Egyptian Astrology and the Pyramids
It’s not a secret that the Egyptian pyramids were carefully aligned towards the pole star. Moreover the enchanting temple of Amun-Ra at Karnak, was aligned on the rising of the midwinter sun 9 (Winter Solstice). Astrology was part of a vast scientific and religious system – which could only be compared to India. Ancient Egyptians knew all about Planets, conjunctions, moon phases and the Ecliptic.
History of Egyptian Astrology
Ancient Egyptian Astrology is one of the most ancient forms of Divination – probably the beginning of Astrology – although Mesopotamia and India could have begun first but this is a subject of discussion. When the Greek King of Macedonia – Alexander the Great – conquered Egypt, the astrological system instantly become part of greek philosophy.
The date system Greeks used in Astrology was adopted in the Egyptian Astrology whilst the old system was also kept as reference. This is why you will find 2 possible answers in the Question “What’s your Egyptian Zodiac Sign”. One is the pharaonic system which was influenced by the Greek Astrology (the one we use until now thanks to Ptolemy) and the more ancient one.
What’s your Egyptian Zodiac Sign ?
Here is two Lists of the Zodiac Signs. One is the List based on the ancient traditional dates which were part of Egyptian cult for centuries. The other is the list which came to life after Egypt become part of the Empire of Alexander the Great. Notice that the two lists have both 12 zodiac signs but there are not exactly the same.
Therefore I would advice you to consult both lists and read both Zodiac Signs as the later list which was influenced by Greek civilisation has also something really important to say. Let’s see now… What’s your Egyptian Zodiac Sign?
Hathor was one of the most popular Deities in Ancient Egypt. She was worshipped by royalty and common people alike. In temples and of course tomb paintings, she is often depicted as “Mistress of the West,” who is welcoming the dead into the Afterlife. In other roles, she was a goddess of love, joy, music, dance, foreign lands, and fertility. She was believed to assist women in childbirth and to be the patron goddess of miners.

Hathor Zodiac Sign
Those born under the influence of Hathor are extremely charming. Their playful and adventurous natures make them undeniably the center of attention. Although their romantic nature can give them hope, when everything is lost, it sometimes lead them to traps and illusions. Of course, over the time, they learn to master illusions themselves, adding to their charms.
Moreover, Hathor Zodiac Sign is particularly loving life. Although mistress of the Afterlife, Hathor blesses the ones who influence with thirst of life and experiences. On the other hand, this passionate personality can easily become jealous and make mistakes in personal relationships and co-operations. They need to balance their caring nature with selfishness. Their creative nature will help them in their life finding solutions where everyone has given up.
Symbols – talismans for the Hathor Zodiac Sign: Sistrum, musical instruments, drums, pregnant women, mirrors, cosmetics
Those born under the influence of Phoenix are blessed by their might and stubbornness of the Sun. The Circle of Life lives in them. Thus, they never give up, although they might face a number of problems towards their success and happiness. Their magical essence some times make their goals unrealistic and forces them to ground their thoughts every now and then.
Thankfully, the Phoenix is blessed by the Sun Himself and this is why those born under His influence are blessed with Good Luck. Sometimes this Good Luck is hidden and these people have to look past the earthly depression to find these opportunities which always seem to accompany them – even in their darkest times. Their caring nature may trap them in toxic relationships who try to take advantage of them. Learning to break free from these kinds of traps is gold.
Symbols – talismans for the Phoenix Zodiac Sign: the Solar disk
Osiris is the King of the Underworld and master of the Afterlife. But more importantly he is the giver of resurrection and guide through the transition. Not only does he reign over the Dead but he is also master of healing. He is the god of the Thresholds.

Osiris Zodiac Sign
The Sign of Osiris may be considered as the beginning of Resurrection of the Light. The regenerative force of Osiris runs in the blood of this Zodiac Sign making those born under its influence, adventurous and reckless.
They have the power to see into the future with optimism as they’ve already been destroyed and they know that they have endured. Although straight forward – as a king should be – their self-doubt can delay their progress. This self-doubt cause insecurities which can be expressed aggressively or/and in a violent.
The key is to embrace all the parts of themselves by understanding that mistakes is just a part of our evolution. Rise again kings (and queens)!
Symbols – talismans for Osiris Zodiac Sign: Crook and flail, Atef crown, Ostrich feathers, fish, mummy gauze
Wadjet bears very significant symbolism in the Egyptian Religion as it closely associated with the Eye of Horus / Eye of Ra (Click here to see more about the magic and power of this symbol). The image of Wadjet with the sun disk is called the uraeus, and it was the emblem on the crown of the rulers of Lower Egypt. She was also the protector of kings and of women in childbirth. Her name means the Green One. She was associated with the land and depicted as a snake-headed woman or an Egyptian cobra.
They make great counsellors and mediums because of this empathic ability. Moreover, they are very cautious and proceed with strategy. Their mind is like a great chessboard, where every move is measured. Their weak spot and their great source of power at the same time is their libido. Once awakened, they are capable for great things or fall in lethal traps.
Symbols – talismans for Wadjet Zodiac Sign: the ostrich feather, Was-sceptre
Shu is one of the primordial Egyptian gods. His name, Shu, means “emptiness” and/or “he who rises up”. Shu is the personification of air and space.

Their true nature lasts for freedom and independence. On the other hand they always love to have the ability to meet and interact with people. They make great partners when they decide to co-operate or get married. When they decide to be in a serious relationship they bring “the breath of life” in it, making it strong and healthy.

Set is the ancient god of Chaos and deserts. He is associated with disorders, violence and storms. He was lord of the red (desert) land where he was the balance to Horus’ role as lord of the black (soil) land. Although he is sometimes identified as the evil god he once played a very positive role, helping Amun-Ra in his fight against Apophis (Apep). This is why Egyptians feared him but also respected him.
