Moon Magick
Lesson Four
Magick
and your Moon Sign
After the Sun, the Moon
has the most effect on a person. For those of us dealing with magick,
the Moon itself has a huge impact on our workings as well as our
lives.
The Moon effects our
intuition, emotion, instinct and change. It shows us how we deal
with everyday life and can give us incite into our magickal practices.
Where your moon is on
your natal chart reveals or inhibitions from which we must work
to be free. It powerfully affects our intuitive abilities, our physiological
makeup and our approach to the world. And these effects in turn
affect how we approach and practice our magick.
The chart below lists
some basic characteristics associated with different Moon signs.
Give some thought to what your Moon sign says about you. It may
shed some light on your magickal workings and point you in a direction
to make them stronger and more successful.
If you dont know
what your Moon sign is, I can run your chart, but I will need your
birth date, birth time and birth place. You can also run your own
chart online at http://www.alabe.com/freechart/

Effect
on you
|
|
Aires
|
You
are emotional and your instinct is to react quickly and sometimes
thoughtlessly, especially when the magick you are working
is something you feel very passionate about. As a result you
can sometimes go over the top with your magick. You don’t
need to throw all you have at a simple spell. Don’t waste
your energy. One thing to be aware of is that your quick actions
may cause you to be a little accident prone resulting in mistakes
in your magickal workings.
|
|
Taurus
|
Your
moon makes your conservative and conventional. You are determined
yet stubborn. On one hand, you are patient and dependable
with your workings; but on the other hand, you can be lazy
and unwilling to change. If a spell isn’t working the way
you want it to, try a new spell or change an element.
|
|
Gemini
|
You
tend to deal with everything at once instead of focusing on
issues one at a time. When you are working magick, instead
of trying to do a major working in one shot, try to break
it down into easier-to-manage steps, each focusing on a specific
aspect of the issue. You
look at your magick workings in an analytical, rational way.
Don’t be afraid to get emotional; that will give you more
power.
|
|
Cancer
|
You
are a natural at magick because your sign is ruled by the
Moon. You have a strong sense of your emotions and you can
trust them. But on the other hand, you can become overemotional.
Never work magick when you are overly emotional. You also
might tend to worry about your magickal workings. You need
to relax and let it go; the universe will take over once your
spell is cast. Stop second-guessing yourself and your abilities.

Libra
|
Overall,
Libras can move effortlessly between the realms. You have
the disposition to go to extremes in life and in your magick.
Make sure you don’t over do a spell or send out some negative
energy that might come back to bite you on the rear. You can
also be indecisive, which can make you take too long to act.
|
|
Scorpio
|
You
work magick well and have the ability to cut through the surface
of a problem. You are all about your powerful emotions. Just
be careful not to work magick when your negative emotions
are flowing. Also
be careful that you don’t get carried away with your emotions
and build too much energy when doing your spells.
|
|
Sagittarius
|
You
are optimistic and enthusiasm, which is great for magickal
workings. You are quick to find solutions to your problems,
but be careful not to overlook or ignore small details in
the process. And you also expect results immediately. You
need to be patient when it comes to magick. Also don’t get
hung up on the hows and whys and just have faith that it will
work.
|
|
Capricorn
|
You
tend to be cool headed and think things through. Be careful
not to become too analytical. Also you want to be very independent,
but sometimes you might need help. Don’t be afraid to go the
deities, ancestors and spirits as well as fellow witches when
the need arises.
|
|
Aquarius
|
If
your moon is in Aquarius, you already have strong psychic
abilities. But you can sometimes be stubborn and impersonal.
You need to think how your magick will affect others; look
at the big picture. You need to be a little more giving and
don’t be afraid to let your emotions show through because
they are the power behind your magick.
|
|
Pisces
|
You
tend to react intensely emotionally first. Be very aware of
this when you might be tempted to work negative magick. Don’t
let your emotions rule you. You don’t have a lot of self-confidence,
which can result in self-sabotage. You tend to just give up
when it doesn’t work. You need to preserver and try to come
after the problem from a different path if it didn’t work
the first time.

Exercise:
Read what your Moon sign
says about you. How do you think that relates to the way you practice
magick? Do you see any truth to it? If so, now that you are aware
of it, what might you do to help make your magick stronger?
