I'm celebrating my solitude on this gorgeous spring day. I've run my errands, cleaned my apartment and rearranged my front porch. I have a satisfying feeling of accomplishment. My partner is still out of town and won't be back until Tuesday. So, I'm basking in my solitude. I'm relishing the quietness. Don't get me wrong, I miss her...but, it's nice to spend quiet time alone. It brings a certain calmness that I don't have when she's here. So until Tuesday I'm going to soak it up.

Spring has arrived and the dandelions will be in full, sweet, tender bloom... the best time to harvest and enjoy these lovely 'weedlings'.

The Moon is New at 28º of Pisces
Sunday March 18th at 7:43 PM PDT / 2:44 AM GMT (3/19)

Major endings and fresh new beginnings are written all over this deeply powerful and potentially transformative New Moon! Why do I say that? First of all... it's a Solar Eclipse!
Secondly... it's the seventh and final New Moon in a row to occur at the tail end of a sign... and...
Thirdly... it's the last New Moon of the zodiacal year! Within 48 hours, the Sun will move into Aries celebrating the Equinox and the birth of Spring.

Good Luck Candle Magick

For this spell, you will need a candle the represents yourself in whatever you think appropriate, a gray candle, a black candle and an orange candle.

Light the candle that represents yourself and say, "This is me, me in all things"

Light the black candle and say, "This is all the bad luck that has dragged my footsteps. Trouble,
disappointments and tears are here. This bad luck now leaves forever."

Light the gray candle and say, "All that was bad is neutralized. All my bad luck is dissolved"

Light the orange candle and say, "This is the energy coming my way, to get my life moving and speed up the change"

Sit quietly for a while and visualize the negative energies being whisked into the gray candle and
dissolved into empty nothingness.

Visualize the orange candle drawing good energy and good luck, see the air stirring about you with possibilities and opportunities.

Let the candles burn completely whilst taking the usual precautions.

So mote it be.
