Almanac Listings
In these listings you will find the date, day, lunar phase, Moon sign, color, and incense for the day, as well as festivals from around the world.
The Date
The date is used in numerological calculations that govern magical rites.
The Day
Each day is ruled by a planet that possesses specific magical influences:
MONDAY (MOON): Peace, sleep, healing, compassion, friends, psychic awareness, purification, and fertility.
TUESDAY (MARS): Passion, sex, courage, aggression, and protection.
WEDNESDAY (MERCURY): The conscious mind, study, travel, divination, and wisdom.
THURSDAY (JUPITER): Expansion, money, prosperity, and generosity.
FRIDAY (VENUS): Love, friendship, reconciliation, and beauty.
SATURDAY (SATURN): Longevity, exorcism, endings, homes, and houses.
SUNDAY (SUN): Healing, spirituality, success, strength, and protection.
The Lunar Phase
The lunar phase is important in determining the best times for magic.
THE WAXING MOON (from the New Moon to the Full) is the ideal time for magic to draw things toward you.
THE FULL MOON is the time of greatest power.
THE WANING MOON (from the Full Moon to the New) is a time for study, meditation, and little magical work (except magic designed to banish harmful energies).
The Moon’s Sign
The Moon continuously “moves” through the zodiac, from Aries to Pisces. Each sign possesses its own significance.
ARIES: Good for starting things, but lacks staying power. Things occur rapidly, but quickly pass. People tend to be argumentative and assertive.
TAURUS: Things begun now last the longest, tend to increase in value, and become hard to alter. Brings out appreciation for beauty and sensory experience.
GEMINI: Things begun now are easily changed by outside influence. Time for shortcuts, communication, games, and fun.
CANCER: Stimulates emotional rapport between people. Pinpoints need, supports growth and nurturance. Tends to domestic concerns.
LEO: Draws emphasis to the self, central ideas, or institutions, away from connections with others and other emotional needs. People tend to be melodramatic.
VIRGO: Favors accomplishment of details and commands from higher up. Focuses on health, hygiene, and daily schedules.
LIBRA: Favors cooperation, social activities, beautification of surroundings, balance, and partnership.
SCORPIO: Increases awareness of psychic power.
Precipitates psychic crises and ends connections thoroughly. People tend to brood and become secretive.
SAGITTARIUS: Encourages flights of imagination and confidence. This is an adventurous, philosophical, and athletic Moon sign. Favors expansion and growth.
CAPRICORN: Develops strong structure. Focus on traditions, responsibilities, and obligations. A good time to set boundaries and rules.
AQUARIUS: Rebellious energy. Time to break habits and make abrupt changes. Personal freedom and individuality is the focus.
PISCES: The focus is on dreaming, nostalgia, intuition, and psychic impressions. A good time for spiritual or philanthropic activities.
Color and Incense
The color and incense for the day are based on information from Personal Alchemy by Amber Wolfe, and relate to the planet that rules each day. This information can be taken into consideration along with other factors when planning works of magic or when blending magic into mundane life. Please note that the incense selections listed are not hard and fast. If you cannot find or do not like the incense listed for the day, choose a similar scent that appeals to you.
Festivals and Holidays
Festivals and holidays of many cultures and nations are listed throughout the year. The exact dates of many ancient festivals are difficult to determine; prevailing data has been used.
Time Zones
The times and dates of all astrological phenomena in this almanac are based on Eastern Standard Time (EST). If you live outside of the Eastern time zone, you will need to make the following adjustments:
PACIFIC STANDARD TIME: Subtract three hours.
MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME: Subtract two hours.
