The last New Moon of the year 2011 occurs on December 24, 2011 at 1:07 E.S.T. This Moon is in the astrological sign of Capricorn, the Goat and is considered to be a “Cardinal” earth sign. This means that this is the most materialistic of all zodiac signs and the energy of the Moon in Capricorn is energetic, practical and innovative.

The Moon in Capricorn brings new vitality and energy to your goals. You feel ambitious to turn over a new leaf with the coming of the new year. Establish your goals by creating a solid agenda that you can easily manipulate for a solid, concrete reality in 2012.

The Moon in Capricorn is an especially fortunate sign for casting candle spells for needed money and it may come for unexpected sources or in the form of surprises. In addition, this is the time to ask for any material necessities, especially if they have been needed for some time, as the Universe is more benevolent at during a New Moon in Capricorn.

Do not seek to harm anyone or light candles for revenge at this time, since the plane Saturn, which rules Capricorn, will protect the opposing party. This is especially true if the party you seek revenge upon is innocent, as the candle spell will backfire on you! Do not begin any candles of injustice or spreading mean and cruel accusations as drastic events may occur. Cast red candle spells for Fast Luck, green candle spells for Money Drawing and golden yellow candle spells for Success.

The first Full Moon of 2012 occurs on January 9, 2012.

The Full Moon occurs at 9:38 am E.S.T. in the astrological sign of Gemini. In addition, this is a Lunar Eclipse, occurring in its entirety at about 8:00 am E.S.T., but West Coast residents can watch it as the sky will still be dark enough to view the eclipse in its glory at 6:05 am. In astrology, Solar and Lunar eclipses bring a certain meaning to the Moon’s lunar station, and this one is no different. It has been said that any new endeavors, contracts or matters decided upon and commenced within the week before any eclipse will rarely work out as planned. All matters taken on the week before an eclipse take on a greater importance. In this case with the lunar eclipse, and other planetary factors, read the fine print on all legal documents and papers that hold particular personal importance. Be wary of “Ponzi” and quick-rich type of schemes, as fraud with securities such as money may occur now. Pay attention to the details. Group activites or a vision of a ‘common whole’ for a group will not materialize, as everyone is running their own agenda and will approach decisions on an independent platform. If your birthday is on the eclipse, you may find a sudden rise to fame or importance.

Full Moon time is traditionally the time to do any banishing or reversible work, to send away or ‘return to sender’ any negativity that has come your way.This will be you last Full Moon of 2011 to do any reversible candle spell work, so consider cleansing yourself of anything being sent your way by sending it “back to its origins”.

The Moon in the zodiac sign of Gemini, is consdered a “Mutable Air sign, meaning that it fluctuates between activity and passivity in matters of the logical, iltellect and mind. This is a good time to do research on the properties of oils and herbs used in candle spells, using calculations for timing of lighting candle spells and for reading and learning. Burning a “Crowning Glory” or “Crown of Success” candle during this time is an old-tyme way to boost your learning and retention skills. Many root workers and magicians suggest to parents to burn this candle whiletheir child is studying or taking an important test for added blessings of success.

The next New Moon occurs on December 24, 2011 on Christmas Eve.

The Full Moon occurs at 3:17 pm E.S.T. on Tuesday, November, 10, 2011. This Full Moon, in the zodiac sign of Taurus the Bull, is considered a “Fixed” Earth sign. This mean that the astrological energy of this Moon is stability, materialistic, protective and practical. Lighting white candles for Healing and Blessing and also Protection, anointed with Fiery Wall of Protection Oil, is strongly suggested at this time.

This Moon is not a good time to light candles to obtain anything new, as the energy is about “holding back” and “withdrawal”. The sign of Taurus seem to have an affinity for banks and banking and ask any Taurean if they like to take money out of the bank and spend it and you may find you hear a hearty “No!” more than any other answer. Lighting candles to attempt to break up someone will not go as planned because the energy is in a “holding” type of pattern. Better to wait to burn candles for any of these matters when the Moon changes to a New Moon.

Other planetary factors coming into play for the next two weeks are the cause of some finanacial shifts in power. Those who have may lose and there might be new winners in the money game.Use caution when gambling.
