Any recommendations for things to do during the upcoming eclipse

Honestly, I feel anything you wanna do will be amplified by a crapload. Any spell performed will be driven by an amazing cosmic power.

The new moon will be in Leo during that time, so look at what the new moon represents, and what Leo rules over, and spells in those categories will likely be super potent and amazingly charged during this eclipse.

Catch some of that potent energy in some water or crystals or charm or something, to be used later if needed. Store some of the eclipse’s energy away for after it has passed and you still want such powerful energy to use in a spell.

And don’t look directly at it for the love of all that is good in this world.

Here are some posts:

Planetary Rulers of Crystals

The list below is excerpted from Scott Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic. I did not write any of it.

This is copyrighted 1988 (although I believe the edition of the book I’m reading was published in 1996, 3 years after Cunningham died), so some of this information may be outdated. If you have anything you’d like to change or add, please do. I expect that there’s much more to be said about Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (you’re still basically a planet to me, lil’ pal) in 2017. 

SUN These stones are useful in legal matters, healing, protection, success, illumination, magical energy and physical energy. Candles used in rituals with these stones are usually orange or gold.

• Amber • Calcite, Orange • Carnelian • Crystal, Quartz • Diamond • Pipestone • Sulfur • Sunstone • Tiger's-eye • Topaz • Zircon

MOON These stones are suitable for use in rituals involving sleep, prophetic dreams, gardening, love, healing, the sea, the home, fertility, peace, compassion and spirituality. Candle colors: white or silver.

• Aquamarine • Beryl • Chalcedony • Crystal, Quartz • Moonstone • Mother-of-pearl • Pearl • Sapphire • Selenite

MERCURY These stones are used for strengthening mental powers and for eloquence, divination, studying, self-improvement, communication, travel and wisdom. Candle color: yellow.

• Agate • Aventurine • Jasper, Mottled • Mica • Pumice

VENUS Venusian stones are useful in rituals promoting love, fidelity, reconciliation, interchanges, beauty, youth, joy and happiness, pleasure, luck, friendship, compassion and meditation, and in rituals involving women. Candle color: green.

• Azurite • Calcite, Blue • Calcite, Green • Calcite, Pink • Cat's-eye • Chrysocolla • Chrysoprase • Coral • Emerald • Jade • Jasper, Green • Kunzite • Lapis Lazuli • Malachite • Olivine • Peridot • Sodalite • Tourmaline, Blue • Tourmaline, Green • Tourmaline, Pink • Tourmaline, Watermelon • Turquoise

MARS These stones are useful for promoting courage, aggression, healing after surgery, physical strength, politics, sexual energy, exorcism, protection, defensive magic and are suitable for rituals involving men. Candle color: red.

• Asbestos • Bloodstone • Flint • Garnet • Jasper, Red • Lava • Onyx • Pipestone • Rhodocrosite • Rhodonite • Ruby • Sard • Sardonyx • Tourmaline, Red • Tourmaline, Watermelon

JUPITER These stones are fine for spirituality, meditation, psychism and religious ritual. Purple candles can be burned in conjunction with these stones in ritual.

• Amethyst • Lepidolite • Sugilite

SATURN Saturnian stones are useful for grounding, centering, protection, purification and luck. Candle colors: gray, brown.

• Alum • Apache Tear • Coal • Hematite • Jasper, Brown • Jet • Obsidian • Onyx • Salt • Serpentine • Tourmaline, Black

NOTE: In common with other authors and magicians, I've just started utilizing the energies of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, the three planets unknown to the ancients, in magic. Magical information relating to them is limited at present, and opinions vary greatly. In the future more stones will be determined to be under the influence of these planets. In the meantime, here are lists of the stones I've tentatively placed under the rulerships of Neptune and Pluto. (Some of these stones are co-ruled by other planets.)

NEPTUNE • Amethyst • Celestite • Lepidolite

PLUTO • Kunzite • Spinel • Quartz, Tourmalated • Mother-of-pearl • Turquoise

Moon in Zodiac Signs

I found a great series of posts on a site called [lunaf.com] that speaks in-depth on the moon in each of the zodiac signs. This doesn’t so much refer to birth astrology, but the position of the moon in the sky at certain points, and what that can influence in regards to metaphysical energy. 

[Moon in ♈ Aries]

[Moon in ♉ Taurus]

[Moon in ♊ Gemini]

[Moon in ♋ Cancer]

[Moon in ♌ Leo]

[Moon in ♍ Virgo]

[Moon in ♎ Libra]

[Moon in ♏ Scorpio]

[Moon in ♐ Sagittarius]

[Moon in ♑ Capricorn]

[Moon in ♒ Aquarius]

[Moon in ♓ Pisces]

You can also track the progress of the moon as it transits through these phases [here].

Do you have any book recommendations on moon & it's phases etc? Ty!!

Mmm, no, I can’ say I do; I don’t really book-learn for witchcraft, all my research is online based, particularly from Tumblr. I can maybe give you some links for posts and things like that, but as far as books go, I can’t really point you toward anything.

@cosmic-witch is a magic user who focuses primarily on space and the planets, I am sure they will have even more information on working with the moon in regards to magic.

I hope that helps! :D

Happy International Astronomy Day!

Ok it was yesterday, but I just found out. Why can't every day be astronomy day though?

[heartmindalignedspirit]

Do any space witches out there celebrate Beltane? Do you have cosmic correspondences for the sabbat?
