If You Are a Cancer

If you were born between June 22 and July 22, Cancer is your sign. You are a person who loves the home and can succeed in any job pertaining to people, including teaching, care-taking, and cooking. You must stay out of quarrels because they upset your sensitive psyche and may adversely affect your health as well.

Financial security and sweetness in the home should be attended to lest they negatively affect domestic tranquility. What happened to you in the past is over; what will happen from now on will be important to your future health and well-being. Don’t trust those who are easily emotionally upset; find romance with someone who is as calm and home-loving as you. Mondays are magic for you.

The Cancer People in Your Life

The Crabs are of a questing nature, ever in search of new experiences. Wealth comes to them unexpectedly, and they are geniuses in many ways, with executive ability strongly marked. They make excellent counsellors, care-takers, and instructors, as they have a desire to be of help to others. They have charming personalities, are compassionate, emotional, talkative, brilliant, and witty; many are gifted with musical and dramatic talent. Their sensitive natures can become defensive, for their feelings are easily wounded through slights or criticism. Their deepest feelings are sometimes difficult to understand, hence marriage may prove elusive or unhappy.

An Orange Candle Spell for Obstacles, Delays, Stagnation

Mercury Retrograde has a reputation for crossed wires, unexpected delays, and obstacles appearing where none existed before. If plans stall or every task feels like pushing a boulder uphill, this simple candle spell will help open the roads and clear away any hindrances.

You will need:

• One orange candle
• Lucky Mojo Mercury Oil
• Lucky Mojo Van Van Oil
• Lucky Mojo Blockbuster Mix
• Chamomile herbs
• A small piece of paper and a pen

Write your petition on the paper. Keep it simple and direct:

“May all unnecessary obstacles be removed from my path. May communication be clear, roads be opened, and opportunities move freely toward me.”

Dress the orange candle with a few drops of Mercury Oil and Van Van Oil, stroking the oils from the top of the candle down toward the base to draw blessings and opportunities into your life.

Sprinkle a small amount of Blockbuster Mix and crushed chamomile around the base of the candle or roll the lightly oiled candle in the herbs if you prefer.

Place your petition beneath the candle holder and light the candle. As the flame burns, pray from the heart and visualize blockages breaking and paths opening before you. See delayed phone calls being returned, paperwork moving forward, and troublesome situations finding their resolution.

Allow the candle to burn safely, repeating your prayer daily until the work feels complete.

Orange is associated with success, opportunity, and opening roads, making it a fitting choice whenever Mercury’s backward dance seems determined to place detours in your path.

Light Blue Candle Spell for Peace, Clarity, Emotional Ease

Mercury Retrograde doesn’t only affect schedules and technology. It can also stir old worries, heighten emotions, and leave us feeling mentally scattered. This soothing candle spell is intended to quiet the mind and restore a sense of calm.

You will need:

• One light blue candle
• Lucky Mojo Mercury Oil
• Lucky Mojo Van Van Oil
• Lucky Mojo Blockbuster Mix
• St. John’s Wort
• Lavender
• A small piece of paper and a pen

Write your petition:

“May my mind be calm, my heart be at peace, and my thoughts be clear. Let confusion, anxiety, and emotional turmoil be lifted from me.”

Dress the light blue candle with Mercury Oil and Van Van Oil, focusing on your intention for peace and emotional balance.

Place a pinch of St. John’s Wort and lavender around the candle’s base, along with a small amount of Blockbuster Mix to help break apart lingering stress, negativity, and mental fog.

Set your petition beneath the candle holder and light the candle. As the flame burns, take several slow breaths and envision your worries dissolving like mist in the morning sun.

Pray for calm communication, emotional understanding, and the wisdom to move through delays with patience rather than frustration.

Light blue is a color often associated with tranquility, healing, and clear communication. During Mercury Retrograde, this simple act of slowing down, lighting a candle, and focusing your thoughts can become a welcome reminder that not every delay is a disaster. Sometimes the road bends simply to show us something we missed the first time around.

If You Are a Gemini

If you were born between May 22 and June 21, Gemini is your sign. You are given to versatility, intellect, and imagination. You are also prone to change and may be unreliable, even to your best friends. Lack of consistence may be offset by fresh ideas, but you need to follow through. You profit through travel and writing.

Faced with repetition, you may be slow and lazy, but your enthusiasm will pick up when offered new tasks. Undertake new projects regularly; do not gamble with those born in the sign of Cancer. Wednesday is your most fortunate day. Undertake journeys and make deals in the summertime, but try to stay focussed and don’t squander your energy by allowing yourself to be drawn in two directions at once.

These people, like Twins, have a double or dual nature which makes them restless, changeable, and fond of travel; they are always busy, yet never content, often leaving their work in an unfinished state, and at times wavering and uncertain in their love affairs. They are shrewd and clever, and as promoters and schemers they are at their best. They can discuss many subjects; are sure to grasp new ideas quickly; often engage in too many different things; delight in driving a shrewd bargain; and can always make money, yet seldom save it in early life. They are very affectionate, yet they often grow cold quickly on account of their changeful nature.

The Team-Up You’ve
Been Waiting For:
Saint Expedite and
Mercury Join Forces 

Mercury, the Roman god of speedy messages, and Saint Expedite, the Catholic patron of instantaneous results, have a lot in common. Magically speaking, they work well together in the hands of eclectic practitioners of the mystic arts. Here we see Expedite holding his badge of office, the cross marked “Hodie” — Latin for “Today” — while Mercury carries his own badge of office, the winged herald’s staff on which twin snakes entwine. The two guys are taking a quick break and swapping tales of who gets the job done the fastest, but in less than the blink of an eye they will be on the road and ready to run.

“We make both Saint Expedite Oil and Mercury Oil and now we have blended them!” announced Miss Catherine Yronwode of Lucky Mojo. Use the blend for dressing candles, dabbing on packages that just have to get there overnight, or drawing a cross on the soles of your shoes to give wings to your feet. “Available only in the big four-ounce glass bottle — half and half of the two formulas, lovingly mingled together — with this brilliant new label by the inimitable Shelby O’Connelly, for just twenty bucks.” For now this is a LIMITED EDITION run, but if 100 bottles of “Saint Expedite Mercury Oil” are sold, Lucky Mojo Curio Co. will put it into production. Do you like it? Would you buy it? Order OIL-SPE-EXME for quick delivery!

Not content with watching the sun set while on vacation, I’ve been gathering supplies for a once in a blue moon candle lighting for the Sagittarius Full Moon. Arjuna as a centaur archer graces a Palm Wax candle with the words “My Aim Is True.” A sandalwood-based oil along with lemongrass, frangipani, vetiver root, and aventurine pebbles mix for fortunate opportunities and rooted stability.

The May 31 Full Moon in Sagittarius comes with plenty of other aspects: Sun conjunct Uranus, sextile Saturn; Moon trine Saturn, opposite Uranus. Venus square Saturn. Sudden shocks, limitations, chaos, but also room for growth and learning. A grounding, calming influence seems to be in order!

I’m personally lighting these for my Full Moon Magic subscribers. (My thanks for your support.) If you’d like to join in, place your order for Full Moon Magic Services by Friday night, Midnight Eastern / 9PM Pacific. Only 40 slots are available.

If You Are a Taurus

If you were born between April 21 and May 21, Taurus is your sign. You are stubborn, self-reliant, intuitive, generous, and a lover of beauty. Your plain talk and unaffected sincerity win you friends. Your artistic nature is balanced by practicality; you work well with your hands and may enjoy nature, gardening, and the arts.

Because the most important things necessary for your happy existence are beauty, harmony, and pleasure, be sure to make time in your life for music and art. Your best alliances will be with people born in the signs of Pisces and Scorpio. The former will be helpful to you; the latter may prove dynamic partners in the fields of finance and real estate. Spring is your best season; Friday is your best day.

The Taurus People in Your Life

These people, like the Bull, have great strength and will power; they can be coaxed but never driven. Once their minds are made up, persuasion and arguments are useless. They do not anger quickly, yet they become very furious when they do. They display wonderful skill in developing and bringing to completion the ideas of others. Being warm-hearted and passionate, they often become strongly attached to sex. They are so clinging and lavish with their affection that many of them are led astray, and they may be more successful in money matters than in love affairs. Their first marriage usually takes place early in life and is often a hasty or secret one.

In the cycle of holy days, May Day also known as Beltane and Walpurgis Nacht marks the point in time that is directly opposite the Days of the Dead so it makes sense to think of this season as the Days of the Living.

Our surroundings reflect this. In South Central Texas where I live the cool days of March have given way to (much) warmer days and our fantastic annual show of wildflowers has mostly closed its curtains for another year. But the dewberries that grow in thick brambles along the roadside are ripening nicely and the wild white poppies that dot the grass like so many ballerinas are still swaying in the breeze and seducing many a bee. My grandparent’s mulberry tree is starting to bud out with green berries and the honeysuckle and jasmine are both in full force.

It feels at this time that the Earth itself says yes to life in every possible way and so it makes sense that this is a holy day for fertility and pregnancy. A wonderful question to enter into your May Day celebrations with is this: where am I ready to be fertile?

May Day is a very old celebration. In Germany it is celebrated on Walpurgis Night in honor of the Goddess Frigg, Odin’s consort and the mother to Thor and Baldur among others. Most folklorists believe that the ritual of dancing around the May Pole began with rites honoring Frigg and that the original May Pole was a living tree meant to call to mind Yggdrasil, the Wold Tree, from which Odin hung so famously.

In the United Kingdom the holy day is a celebration of union between the Goddess of the Land and her consort most often depicted as a Green Man or Jack in the Green. This is a time when faeries are believed to become quite active once more and May Flowers (flowering Hawthorn) are allowed to be brought into the house on this one day only in order to honor the faeries and seek out their favor. Decorations of greenery and Jack in the Green processions through villages are also common.

Beltane is the Celtic name for the holy day derived from Bel, the Celtic God of Fire. Bonfires were traditionally lit on this evening with the greatest being the “need” fire. People and animals would be driven through the flames very quickly to confer both protection and fertility on all of the living. Afterwards there is feasting and love making under the May moon.

Where I live this custom has been moved up in the season of the year and occurs in small towns in the Texas hill country during Easter and the fires are known as Easter Fires serving the same exact purpose.

I will be creating a Need Fire for this Feast Day and so, if you find yourself yearning for fertility, fecundity, the green verve of life and wildness and moonshine then do join me for this most holy and blessed Feast Day.

Petition deadline for this free ritual: April 25th 2026 by 12 noon Texas (central) time.

Areas to especially consider as you make your petition include:

• Favors from the Faeries and your Holy Helpers
• Protection for lands, animals, and family members as we go into the warmer season
• Fertility in whatever area(s) it is deemed needed
• Love love making and deeper intimacy
• Deepening your connection to the land where you live and all of the creatures, seen and unseen, that make it up.

As always, these Feast Day services are free to everyone so please share!
