Finally … something to write about! I’ve been waiting for this day for quite awhile and it’s here. Pluto will move into the Sign of Capricorn at 6:37 pm PST! The importance of this planetary movement is literally historic, and quite momentous.

Pluto has been in the sign of Sagittarius since November 11th, 1995. Chances are you remember exactly where you were, who you were with and what you were doing when Pluto switched signs — I know exactly what I was doing, that’s for sure. (Insert deep, private thoughts here.)

Whatever transformations you will experience depends on a few things:

1) The placement of Pluto in your Natal Astrological Chart and how this transit will aspect it; and

2) The placement of Saturn in your Natal Astrological Chart and how this transit will aspect it;

Pluto is considered the Planetary Ruler of the sign of Scorpio, itself the Zodiac Sign of Transformation, the Occult, Legacies, Sex and Death.

Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, which is the planet which rules Career, Recognition, Restriction, Karma and — you guessed it — Death.

What happens when the planet of intense transformation enters the rather harsh sign of Capricorn? Nothing less than a revolution. A physical, economic, spiritual and psychic meltdown of epic proportions.

Not to mention the fact that the end of the Mayan Calendar (December 21st, 2012) happens to occur during this particular placement. Coincidence perhaps? Yeah, right. Still, it’s not all bad news you know. Especially if you happen to have Capricorn Rising (or anticipate positive aspects as the result of this placement).

Still, it’s going to be time to wake up and smell the cat food, as it were. I’ll post more about this historical bit of Astrological news in my Magickal Forum under the Astrology Section as soon as possible.

In the meantime, take some time to light a Candle (Indigo Blue, Black or Dark Red) and meditate on how you can get the most out of this intense time.

Today marks the 109th anniversary of Aleister Crowley’s initiation into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (G.’.D.’.), which he joined on November 18th, 1875, receiving his Neophyte Degree (0=0). It was upon that occasion Crowley took his legendary Latin motto, “Perdurabo” (“I will endure unto the end”).

Crowley’s introduction to the magickal order was through George Cecil Jones, a gentleman whom he met after he had left Cambridge University. Jones further introduced Crowley to Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers (S.L.M. Mathers) who invited him to join the G.’.D.’.

Frater Perdurabo (as he was known in the group) rose rapidly up the ranks of the Order, and by the year 1900, Crowley had achieved the grade of Adeptus Minor, no small magickal feat.

In that same year, a huge schism took place within the Order that left it in ruins, with Crowley severing ties with the group altogether.

Still, today is a day to remember as Crowley’s first real step upon the road of Magick, without which (in my opinion), Western Occultism would most likely not exist as it does. Certainly, the art of metaphysics and the occult have been forever changed by the force that was Crowley.

Just wanted to wish all a great Samhain holiday this year! I’m out celebrating tonight … so I’ll be back with another post tomorrow!

The Full Moon will occur in the sign of Taurus at 9:51 pm (PDT) and 12:51 am (EDT), at 2:23 Degrees.

The Moon (also known as Luna), is considered exalted in the earthy sign of Taurus — a fact that lends more awareness of the preciousness of Life, despite its many ups and downs.Although Taurus is an earth sign, it is ruled by the planet Venus, Goddess of Beauty, Fertility and the Arts. It’s no wonder why many of us may feel incredibly inspired at this time, especially poets, musicians and artists.

A great way to celebrate the Full Moon in Taurus is to create something beautiful, create a sumptuous feast for yourself and your loved ones, paint a picture, enjoy music — whatever you choose to do, immerse yourself totally.The Venusian energy of this lunation offers a chance to heal and come to terms with harsher realities of life, something that many Southern Californians may need right now.

Have a mystical, magickal day!

Tonight’s eclipse will prove to be one of the most special in a long time. We’ll be seeing the longest total eclipse to happen in many years.

As far as Magick goes … may I suggest leaving any Magickal Rituals tonight to the more seasoned practitioners! Performing complex or unfocused Magick during such a powerful lunar phase can have unwarranted results, so be careful and plan your ritual in detail.  This is a particularly potent Full Moon as well, as Pisces rules the 12th House of the Zodiac, and is highly Karmic in nature.
