What's Up?

What’s in Your Future?

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21^st): Emotions, in particular insecurities, may be running high at the beginning of the month, but while these emotions may be deep, they will be short-lived, fading by the end of the first week. Tension may be present in your personal relationships, which will be a theme for the same length of time. However, a positive during this time is that it is wise to review how you problem-solve because it is time to modernize. As the month continues, you may find the tension in your personal relationships continues, but some areas of your life clear up, such as your romantic relationships and good fortune. That good fortune may come your way towards the end of the month, but there will probably be a price paid for it. This price will be a forced transformation you may have to make to excel.

Taurus (Approx. April 21^st to approx. May 21^st): Are you an opportunist? If so, this is your time! If opportunities for growth and success have not come your way yet, they soon will. The theme of the first two weeks of September is physical manifestation, whether it is health, money, a career, or something equally grounded. Your romantic relationships may be challenged throughout the month, but this opens the gate to focus on what needs to be done in the workplace brought to the surface during this Mercury retrograde. These growth opportunities will continue for the whole month, as might the romantic challenges, so it would be wise to focus on what you can control rather than what you cannot. The difference between the beginning of the month and the latter is that the closer we get to October, the more opportunities in the workplace will be for growth rather than wrapping up outstanding work.

Gemini (Approx. May 21^st to Summer Solstice): Challenges in the workplace, particularly how personal communications are involved, may be the dominant theme at the beginning of the month, so it is wise to address what comes up. Romantic relationships and creativity may be two themes that are strong and positive for the most part as the month begins. Challenges may also be present regarding your spirituality and how you process emotions, but this process is ongoing. As the month advances, you may see that the vibe in the air lightens up and changes for the better. The emphasis may be on personal relationships, specifically building or re-establishing them. Personal communication in the workplace may still be challenged, but the emphasis may now be on moving forward rather than revisiting old themes. Romance may be in the air towards the end of the month.

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21^st): There may be challenges when it comes to your personal relationships as September begins, and while this may be a theme for most of the month, you may also note that the rest of the first half of September rolls along nice and smoothly in general. There may be communication problems in the workplace, but these will be resolved relatively easily. Money and other resources may flow to you easily, and while your emotions may be out of whack around the first, this will fade quickly, only lasting a few days. As the month progresses, the workplace may become more challenging, and your emotions may get tenser as a reflection. Resources and money will continue to roll along nicely and smoothly, giving you what you need to take care of yourself, even though challenges abound until early October.

Leo (Approx. July 21^st to approx. August 21^st): People with strong Leo in their charts may find September 2023 begins with more challenges than blessings. Even though optimism is high, and individual connection with people is going well, the ship will soon right its course when Venus moves direct a few days into the month. This is a good time for healing, specifically as it concerns your relationship with others. As the month moves forward, you may discover that things drastically improve. Even though the same challenges have been there for a while that has to do with money, your personal resources, and how you manage them, you may see that now is a good time to enjoy the company of others. Now that Venus is direct, your creativity may be stronger, romantic relationships may clear up and improve, and this is a good time for networking, particularly in the name of justice or bringing things into balance in your life.

Virgo (Approx. August 21^st to Autumnal Equinox): Happy birthday Virgos! Yes, I know many of you were born in August, but in modern times, September is your month, and your birthday gift from the multiverse is a nice, fat Mercury retrograde in your sign. Miscommunications, revisiting work situations, and maybe even health challenges may all be in the air as September begins. This is enhanced by the opposition to Saturn in Pisces, which may call on you to address your spiritual and emotional growth and maturity. When addressing, though, remember that Virgos can be overly critical anyway, so you may want to practice self-love. As the month continues, things get drastically better when Mercury directs. The latter part of the month is a good time to focus on your career and where you’re going. You may also find it wise to take another look at your resources because the potential for expansion is there.

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21^st): While you may have above-average energy levels, you may find that your ego, sense of being, and sense of self still need to be healed. The hidden key to unlock this is found in Pisces, but right now, you may be getting a backhanded boost from Venus retrograde in Leo. All of this tells us September is a good month to make the connections you want to make in your personal life. As the month moves forward, the energy changes for the better, and while the same internal issues are still there, your external life may take a turn for the better. Your creativity may be stronger than normal, and romance may be in the air, possibly resulting from a past flame. The last week of the month may bring out all sorts of emotions, but this will be short-lived.

Scorpio (Approx. October 21^st to approx. November 21^st): As September unfolds, you may find the challenges you have been dealing with having to do with money and blocked creativity continue, and this is not the time for expansion. Rather, this is a good time for reviewing and wrapping things up, particularly in the workplace. This may seem unrelated to your spiritual journey, but the two are intertwined. As the month matures, it is worth noting that romance and money through creative pursuits are still challenged but are now headed in the right direction. Your workplace communication is also clearer than normal, and the essence is this is based on forward motion rather than revisiting the past. It would still be wise to play things financially conservatively, but the last two weeks of the month is a good time to focus on what you need to do for yourself, and if you appear cold to others, well, that’s their issue, isn’t it?

Sagittarius (Approx. November 21^st to Winter Solstice): Where to begin? September 2023 begins with a lot of challenges around you. These include, but are not limited to, personal communication in the workplace, emotions, spirituality, pivoting on how you will achieve your goals, and facing your inner insecurities so you can see things are very challenging and intense right now. However, help is available to you through the people you know and how you use your creativity to handle your situation. As the month moves forward, though, the energy in the air clears dramatically, bringing many good opportunities and results into your life. Once the equinox arrives, you may find that your money through creative means starts flowing again, maybe better than anticipated. You may also find that romance becomes good. The emotional and spiritual wounds and situations are still there but are part of the initiatic process, so they will be around for a while. In short, September goes from highly challenging initially to very positive.

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21^st): As September rolls around, you may be dealing with a complex picture. Challenges may exist when it comes to personal communication and relationships, but a lot of this may have to do with your daily workplace, as the Mercury retrograde is coming along to encourage you to revisit past situations there. Your emotions may also be out of sorts as the month begins, and while this will be short-lived, the principles behind them will continue to exist after you deal with the immediate situations. As the month progresses, you may discover that more challenges come up that have to do with getting along with others, but now this may be occurring in your personal life, as your professional life is in a strong position for building towards the future. A major theme to assist you is emotional maturity because now is the time to handle your emotions in new and different ways.

Aquarius (Approx. January 21^st to approx. February 21^st): September begins with many challenges present, but these are nothing new. Rather, they are extensions of things unfolding for a while now. Tension may be present when it comes to money and your romantic life, and challenges may exist if you try to expand what you are doing because now is the time to play things financially conservative because random events may crop up. As the month progresses, you may find that your personal life, specifically friendships, rolls along nicely and smoothly, and now is a good time to indulge in the company of trusted companions. The challenges earlier in the month that have to do with money, romance, and expansion are all still present in the latter part of September, but there is less heaviness to them, and you may see a silver lining soon.

Pisces (Approx. February 21^st to Spring Equinox): Tension in personal communication and your daily work routine may be present as September begins, so it would be wise to stay as emotionally detached as you can while taking care of business. Even though money and work may be lacking or off-kilter right now, the good news is that all of this is clearing out to embrace the expansiveness yet to come. As the month continues, less emphasis is put on your daily work life, even though communication may still be tense. Now, the emphasis is on growth, maturity, and maneuvering yourself into a position for growth in the physical world shortly. Emotional control and focusing on your overall direction in life may be the priority, so it would be wise to put your personal life on the back burner so that you can seize certain opportunities when they come up.

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21^st): August 2023 may begin with a feeling of being between two worlds: the previous world of imagination and creativity and the upcoming healing world, with the only problem area being your daily work life. A good way to work with this is to stay optimistic and circle back to things you put on the back burner that may help your current situation. As the month progresses, you may find that the workplace might take up more of your time, requiring a lot of adjustments for success. You may also discover that reviewing your spending habits, particularly impulse buys, may be smart. Also of note is that you can expect an extra energy burst around the middle of the month, and if that is the case, it is wise to have an outlet for that energy rather than letting it boil over unexpectedly and inappropriately. 

Taurus (Approx April 21^st to approx. May 21^st): Manifestation is the theme for August 2023, so if you plan things right, you may find you can maximize many results during the month. However, towards the beginning of the month, you may find challenges regarding romance and situations from your past that have strangely come back up. As the month continues, you may find that things get a lot better, especially in the romance area and fun money. Throughout the whole month, diligence and discipline may be your two strongest allies. It is also worth mentioning that your emotions may be out of sorts around the twentieth, lasting for about a week. A lot of this will have to do with how you have processed emotional wounds and the limits they impose. This will be short-lived, though, so consider this a case of forewarned is forearmed. 

Gemini (Approx. May 21^st to Summer Solstice): Fun, good fortune, and romance may be some of the themes that occur as August 2023 begins, so it is wise to stay light-hearted. Even though the workplace and daily work life may be full of challenges, especially when it comes to communication, you may find everything else in your life is rolling along nicely and smoothly at the moment, with a lot of healing occurring. As the month matures, you may find the theme shifts to specifically communication in the workplace, as Mercury stations retrograde. Regarding your health, avoiding eating while driving or engaging in manual dexterity activity would be wise. In general, this is a good time to go within and change what needs to be changed to navigate the upcoming Mercury retrograde’s focus on your professional life. 

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21^st): Of all of the signs in the zodiac, you are the ones that are in a prime position as August 2023 opens, so it would be wise to ride the vibe as long as you can. This may especially be true regarding the workplace and the physical world in general. This is also a good time to get proactive regarding work-related projects and initiatives. As the month continues, things may go from good to great, and even the upcoming Mercury retrograde can bring surprisingly good work-related benefits if you stay humble and seize opportunities as they arise. In the latter part of the month, it is a good time to lay a foundation for emotional and spiritual projects. Be careful, though, as past hurts may paralyze your forward movement during the last two weeks. 

Leo (Approx. July 21^st to approx. August 21^st): Happy birthday Leos! This is your month to shine! The Venus retrograde complicates things a bit, as you may find a theme right now is to make do with less, especially when it comes to fun and discretionary spending. Unexpected expenses may come up that have to do with food, money, and all things related to the physical world, so it would be wise to play things safe and address whatever comes your way. As the month continues, things may go from extremely good to average, and with the Mercury retrograde, you may find your energy and attention are drawn to your work life. That means it is a good time to wrap up work projects and revisit tabled conversations. Your emotions may be out of sorts around the middle of the month, but this will be short-lived. 

Virgo (Approx. August 21^st to Autumnal Equinox): Work, work, work may be the theme of the start of August 2023, so it is smart to know that ahead of time to allocate accordingly. This is also a good time for long-term financial investments and solidifying your health and financial future. As the month continues, things may improve, but the Mercury retrograde is about to hit you hard in most life areas. Work, money, business, and health are all themes that will carry through most of the month, so it can be easy to focus and create your circumstances as necessary. This also means that August is not a good month for creativity and spirituality, so you may find it wise to return to either or both in September. 

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21^st): While your creativity may be flowing at the beginning of August 2023, you may find the romantic life requires some review, as is your discretionary spending. This is part of your ongoing healing process, which might create internal tension. As the month matures, you may find that the Mercury retrograde requires a lot of minor adjustments to achieve success in the workplace and with your health. Adjustments may be the theme of the last two weeks of the month, so if you stay alert, face what you need to face internally, and make the appropriate adjustments, you might hit the ground running when Mercury directs. If spiritual lessons are addressed, you may find a lot of spiritual and emotional healing, which could open the door to greater creative growth. 

Scorpio (Approx. October 21^st to approx. November 21^st): Ouch. This may be the word that best sums up the beginning of August, as challenges and growth opportunities may be common when it comes to money, romance, the love life, and stalled creativity, so it would be wise to do what you do best-take care of business by blocking out distractions. You may also find this is a time to play things financially conservatively and make the appropriate adjustments for your long-term physical world foundation. As the month continues, work, and all things related may take up the bulk of your time, and while money and love may still be challenged with the Venus retrograde, things otherwise roll along smoothly. Your emotions may become excited around the middle of the month, but this will be brief, allowing you to get back to work. 

Sagittarius (Approx November 21^st to Winter Solstice): Optimism, innovation, and extra energy may all be themes over the first two weeks of August. These themes you can easily embrace, even with the Venus retrograde impacting your love life and cash flow. Your daily work life may be full of challenges, particularly regarding communication, but it is also a good time to take the initiative when opportunities present themselves. As the month continues, it is worth noting the Mercury retrograde because you, along with Virgo, Geminis, and Pisces, will be the most affected, so consider this your alert. That transit may do more than bring communication issues. It may also uncover other issues you didn’t know about until now. The good news is that if you like to be the hero, this is an opportunity to showcase your skills. 

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21^st): Like Virgos, August 2023 may start with a lot of emphasis on your professional life and work routine, so it would be wise to focus on the practical. Also worth mentioning is that this is a good time to take a second look at how you process emotions and see if it is a good time for an upgrade. As the month continues, the workload only intensifies, and the Mercury retrograde will bring its fair share of unexpected projects and miscues. You may also find the latter part of the month is a good time to focus on the actual business side of what you do rather than just the daily grind. Playing it safe in areas of romance may also be smart to do for the whole month, but especially towards the end. 

Aquarius (Approx. January 21^st to approx. February 21^st): This Venus retrograde may make itself felt in your life as August 2023 begins, so it would be wise to handle money and romance cautiously until the retrograde ends. Additionally, you may find that prosperity, specifically investments, is at a crossroads and that unexpected expenses that are a bigger hassle than normal may come out. Also, watch your diet, as food poisoning may be possible. As August continues, you may find that things pick up when Mercury retrogrades, but what is coming up are details that need to be addressed, more than major situations. Your emotions may be out of sorts around the middle of the month, but this will only last a few days. All in all, compared to other signs, things might not be so bad. 

Pisces (Approx. February 21^st to Spring Equinox): Work and the daily work routine may be the major sources of tension as August 2023 begins, so it would be wise to detach and do what needs to be done. Prosperity may be rolling along nicely and smoothly, too, and much of what is happening now is karmic. As the month matures, you may discover that the workplace becomes tenser and that miscommunications and scheduling issues may be two areas to address. However, you are in a good position to lay a long-term foundation from a business perspective. You may also discover that magick is in the air somehow, whether it is a chance encounter or things miraculously coming together. This Mercury retrograde period will primarily have to do with how you spend your time daily to achieve success. 

*For all signs-Mercury stations retrograde on July 22, at twenty-one degrees Virgo, and will be retrograde until September 16, where it finishes at eight degrees Virgo.

Horoscopes for the month of May 2023

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21st): May 2023 may begin with a feeling that it is time to make some minor adjustments, especially regarding communication and how you handle electronics. You may also find pleasure with your friends, and money flows easily to you through the people you know. Opportunities for prosperity may exist if you act fast and have a contingency plan. As the month progresses, you may find that things no longer need minor adjustments and that friendships and communication are rolling along better than at the beginning of the month. However, challenges and growth opportunities may be present when it comes to your love life and your immediate family. You may also find that your house requires some TLC that costs money, but this may pay off better than expected in the long run.

Taurus (Approx. April 21st to approx. May 21st ): Happy birthday Taurus! This is your month to treat yourself and indulge in creature comforts. For the most part, May 2023 begins with a review process, not only of communication but also regarding how you approach your daily work and what you can do to ensure success in the long run. You may also find you are emotionally and spiritually growing, even though it may feel like it’s taking longer than you want. As the month continues, it is worth noting that your romantic life is rolling along well, as is the time you spend with your immediate family. You may also discover that your communication skills require some adjustments, but these are short-term. When the middle of the month arrives, you may find that your temper is shorter than normal but that you have above-average energy to get things done. It would also be wise to make sure your ego does not get in the way of growth.

Gemini (Approx. May 21st to Summer Solstice): Even though the sun does not move into Gemini until May 21st, you may find that love is in the air, as is good fortune, and both of these are especially true when it comes to people you know and how they can help. Your prosperity may continue to roll along easily, and if you are alert, you can maximize your gain. As the month progresses, things go from okay to spectacular, especially when Mercury directs. Towards the end of the month, your creativity may be stronger than normal, and your optimism may be infectious. While your daily life may require minor adjustments, these will only be needed in the short term. The opportunities present at the beginning of the month may be gone by the end, and now the attention turns to the maturation process of your emotions and spirituality.

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21st ): Even though there is a Mercury retrograde at the beginning of the month, you may find that otherwise, things are rolling along nicely and smoothly and that things are coming up that need to be dealt with anyway. Money may be tight, particularly when it comes to increasing your profit margin, and your ongoing work healing your wounds continues until the middle of the month. Once the middle of the month arrives, you may find that things clear up rather quickly, and while your daily life may be returning to normal, now is the time to make some communication adjustments. You may also find that good things may be coming your way in your romantic life and when it comes to your immediate family. Spiritual unfoldment and improving your ability to work with emotions may be two strong themes that last until June.

Leo (Approx. July 21st to approx. August 21st ): The beginning of May 2023 may bring a host of challenges, especially regarding your daily life and diet, so it would be wise to tread lightly. However, you may also find your friendships rolling along nice and smooth, and money may be easily flowing through your connections. Until the middle of the month, you may find opportunities for long-term growth, but this will dramatically change the later it gets. As May continues, the challenges from earlier in the month may still be present, but they are not as intense as earlier. Mars enters Leo on May 21st, the same day the sun enters Gemini, and both of these mean that through the middle of June, you may find your energy levels are higher than normal, your fortune is better than usual, and your creativity is stronger than average.

Virgo (Approx. August 21st to Autumnal Equinox): May 2023 may begin with strong
emotions, and the Mercury retrograde amplifies these at the start of the month, so it would be wise to keep control of your emotions and to address what needs it when it comes to your daily life and health. Money may flow through your fingers right now, and while your profit margin may not be that great, you are still treading water. There may also be challenges in communication when it comes to your love life. As the month continues, you may find that things line up for a strong foundation later this year if you keep working. The home life and immediate family may be rolling along well, and the romantic challenges from earlier in the month have dissipated as quickly as they arrived. Spiritual and emotional tension may also be present for the whole month, but these are
dull sounds in the background of your life and may not be overly intense.

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21st ): Even though home life and immediate family may have their share of challenges right now, you may find success when it comes to networking and spending time with friends. Money may be tight, too, but this will change later in the month. Your internal wounds that you have been working on for a while are still there to be healed, and one of the better ways to accrue the healing is through humility and honesty. As the month continues, you may see that inspiration is coming easier than normal and that this is a good time to lay the foundation for group participation. If you were born around the beginning of the sign of Libra, you are in a prime spot to lay a big, solid foundation that has to do with group participation and taking new approaches to old ideas. Mars moving into Leo may ignite your creativity and give you the energy to get things done.

Scorpio (Approx. October 21st to approx. November 21st ): Every May, tension is in the air, but this year you may find it is more so than normal, especially because of the Mercury retrograde, so it would be wise to bury yourself in your work since it is rolling along smoothly at the start of the month. This is also a good time to be proactive regarding how you practice and live your spirituality and decide how and where you want to grow from here. As the month progresses, it is worth noting that when Mars enters Leo, your temper may be shorter than normal, and you have a higher-than-average energy level. Your creativity may also be stronger than normal, even though optimism may be hard to develop. Tense communication may be in the air the whole month, but towards the end, the emphasis changes from wrapping things up to going through the birthing process of your next project.

Sagittarius (Approx. November 21st to Winter Solstice): Money and romance may be full of tension as May 2023 begins, but these will be short-lived and should resolve by the end of the month. The first two weeks of May are still a good time to lay the foundation for projects that have to do with your self-expression, but to achieve success; you may have to take a second look at your emotions and spirituality because it may be time for a change. As the month continues, it is worth mentioning that you may feel a second win as Mars enters Leo, and your optimism and creativity may be stronger than normal. However, emotional tension may be present too, especially regarding subjects of conversation and your daily life, but this will be short-lived. The last two weeks of May may contain a lot of challenges in general, but a key to dealing with these things is to look inward and see what you need to change and why.

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21st ): Your home life and immediate
family may be full of tension right now, so it would be wise to stay detached and do what needs to be done for the whole of the unit. The beginning of May 2023 may be a prime time to lay a foundation in your career and daily life, as long as you clean up what needs to be cleaned up and are willing to be patient for your results. While home life stays the same for the entire month, you may discover that you no longer have to clear space or clean up leftover issues like at the start of the month. Rather, now is the time for proactivity and calculations. Your emotions and spirituality may roll along smoothly for the whole month, and lining up your personal development with physical world values may be the key to long-term success.

Aquarius (Approx. January 21st to approx. February 21st ): The power of May 2023 should not be understated as you make your plans for the month. Pluto retrogrades in your sign on the first, and you may find challenges and growth opportunities related to your physical life and body. The Mercury retrograde may focus on electronics more than anything else, but in contrast, you may see that money and love are available to you through your friends and casual acquaintances. As May continues, it is worth noting that the challenges in the workplace and daily life are still there, but now your patience is
thinner and your temper shorter, prompting you to focus on keeping your ego in check and seeing where and when it would be wise to be humble and open to new approaches. The good news is that the later in the month it gets, the more fun there is to be had, and an outing with friends might just be what the doctor ordered.

Pisces (Approx. February 21st to Spring Equinox): Emotional tension and internal
maturation may be the two dominant themes at the beginning of May 2023, so it would be wise to detach as much as possible. You may also note that frivolous spending comes back to bite you in the rear, and your daily work life may call for adjustments. As May marches on, improvements may be common, and your daily life starts producing big results with some patience and dedication. Your emotions may still be tense, but this will be short-lived. Challenges as a theme may come into being around the 21st, and while some may be short-lived, they may still have ramifications that last for quite some time. ©2023 Bill Duvendack, 418 Ascendant LLC

Class Description

A year-long intensive apprenticeship in the science of Witchcraft. Through this course you will build a strong and solid foundation for your magickal work through the perspective of modern Witchcraft. You will:

• Understand the history and role of the Witch, from the ancient world to the current modern revival.
• Learn sound occult techniques for altering your consciousness and exploring the powers of meditation and trance.
• Explore the concepts of magickal theory found in both quantum physics and hermetic philosophy, and the ethics of the Witch.
• Use “instant” meditative magick to transform your inner and outer life.
• Experience practical application of energy manipulation, protection magick, psychic self-defense, psychic development, aura gazing, auric cleansing, chakra balancing, psychic healing, spirit guide contact, past-life exploration, shamanic journey and building your personal place of power; your inner temple or soul shrine.

Thus shall you begin development of a solid personal practice in the internal arts of Witchcraft.

Unlike many basic 101 courses, Witchcraft I will provide a deep foundation through thirteen detailed lessons and rituals for all magickal and spiritual studies for those desiring to meditate, develop psychic skills and start the path of the Witch, rather than relying on a quick spellbook. This is a foundation piece to further training in the five-level Temple of Witchcraft Tradition.

This year-long course fuses material from The Inner Temple of Witchcraft text (required reading) and The Inner Temple of Witchcraft CD Companion (required listening) with previously unreleased rituals and rites from the Temple of Witchcraft Book of Shadows. In-person students will work with a certified Temple teacher in monthly class sessions. Lessons can vary in size and scope with some months being light and others being more involved. Generally one month is given between lessons and you are expected to complete a lesson before receiving the next.
