Magical Times for November & December 2019

Planetary transits – in conjunction with Planetary Hours – are a simple way to plan your activities to take advantage of the karmic ebb and flow of the cosmos. These favorable / unfavorable times to act (or refrain from action) hold true for everyone; but they are particularly effective when a celestial event occurs on or opposite a planet or angle (Ascendant or Midheaven) in your natal horoscope. You can ascertain the positions of the planets and angles in your natal horoscope for free from astro.com.

Moon-Jupiter conjunctions: best times to initiate (or pray / cast spells for) healing OR to move / travel (time of leaving home or takeoff): 11/28/2019 between 4:41-5:42 am; 12/25/2019 between 8:20-9:13 pm.

11/11/2019 – 10:22 am Mercury Inferior Conjunction Sun [rare transit of Mercury across the Sun’s disk] @ 18°SC56’ = Something that was hidden comes into plain view, giving you deeper insight and understanding about a current problem or relationship. You realize that you must go it alone, make it on your own, not depend on or rely on other people (act between 5:38-6:36 am).

11/20/2019 – 2:11 pm Mercury Stationary Direct @ 11°SC35’ = A new departure or new outlook on your current affairs. You may get past a blind spot or something that was hindering you, or launch new projects or relationships which become important later on (best time between 12:35-1:03 pm).

11/24/2019 – 8:34 am Venus Conjunct Jupiter @ 28°SG12’ = A joyous, harmonious time in which social and financial matters take a turn for the better. Excellent time for launching new projects and for casting love spells: between 7:48-8:22 am light a pink candle and imagine that you are right there in front of your beloved (or if you don’t have a beloved, a beautiful stranger). Look him or her directly in the eyes; take his or her hands in yours; and say everything that is in your heart. Then listen to what he or she has to say; let the thing flow as it will. Then embrace and kiss as if it were really happening right now, and feel yourself filled with joy and happiness! Then with a sigh, squeeze their hands, wish them well, and let them go.

11/24/2019 – 11:51 am Mars Opposition Uranus @ 3°SC/TA33’ = Tends to bring tension, anger, open conflict which surfaces in a sudden, unexpected blast. This is definitely not a good time to make changes or depend on other people. If you must confront, do it on Saturday between 2:11-2:36 pm for determination and strength.

11/27/2019 – 7:52 am Neptune Stationary Direct @ 15°PI56’ = Unusual or other-worldly occurrences or intimations may provoke powerful attractions or repulsions on your part. If you are not already channeling your spirit guides or tutelary deity (such as Jesus, Krishna, Buddha) via automatic writing what are you waiting for? It’s easy, and it is your point of entry into the world of magic – of doing it instead of just thinking about it or wishing for it! On Tuesday at exactly 1:01 pm in NYC (12:51 pm Boston; 1:06 pm Philly) light a white candle and follow the instructions given in Magical Living.

12/05/2019 – 6:43 am Mercury Greatest Brilliancy @ 24°SC30’ = heightened understanding: this week favors resolving intellectual problems (ask for the solution before retiring at night); signing documents / contracts; and opening / restoring blocked communications (Wednesday between 12:39-1:04 pm). This is also a good time to cast a spell for success in studies: light a blue candle, take a deep breath, and imagine that you are in school and are feeling confident and pleased with your understanding and progress!

12/11/2019 – 5:06 am Venus Conjunct Saturn @ 19°CP04’ = Tact and discretion are needed in addressing the feelings of a friend or family member, or else feelings may be hurt on both sides. On the other hand, this is a good day to break things off or cast a Scat spell to get rid of an unwanted lover: between 4:31-5:20 pm on Tuesday afternoon light a black candle and imagine your ex is standing right in front of you and telling you that they've decided that they've had enough of you. Don't feel rancor; feel relief. It’s important that you don’t do this spell in a mood of anger, particularly if your ex is a vampire who is sucking your energy by provoking your anger. You have to call it quits in the spell – not take pleasure when they get their comeuppance (as you do in normal daydreaming). Take deep breaths, or jump up and down and shake your body, until you are calm and in command of yourself. Then imagine taking your erstwhile lover’s hands in both of your own; look him or her squarely in the eye; and say in your own words and using your own sentiments, “It’s had its good times, hasn’t it? But now it’s time we each went our own way.” Then wishing him or her the best of luck in their future journey, turn around, wipe your hands of it, walk away and don’t look back.

12/13/2019 – 10:16 am Venus Conjunct Pluto @ 21°CP48’ = There may be hidden feelings or unspoken agendas that must be addressed consciously to avoid hurt. Objectivity (rather than obsessiveness) is called for – seeing clearly the other person’s motivations. Deal with them between 7:21-7:55 am.

12/27/2019 – 1:26 pm Sun Conjunct Jupiter @ 5°CP42’ = An excellent day to approach men for favors or ask for a raise, or to borrow/lend/invest money or launch new projects generally (between 10:32-11:00 am). This is also a good time to make prayers or cast spells for money: light a green candle, take a deep breath, and vigorously shake your body to cast off all your money worries. Imagine that you have plenty of money for all your needs and never need to worry about money ever again! It’s better to see yourself being a conduit for wealth into the world rather than indulging your every whim.
