              Astrology is good for a number of reasons – many look in their 
              looking paper as a source of entertainment to help set the mood 
              for a hopefully positive prediction, then others actually use it 
              as a tool to help direct them into the sunlight and to avoid the 
              opposite. With Financial Astrology it’s a neglected feature 
              that Astrology has to offer that will keep us out of the red and 
              who knows maybe with those winning numbers! Look and see what keys 
              your Financial Astrology forecast has to give to you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aries &lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; March 21 – April 20&lt;br /&gt;
              You like money, you need money and you have the energy and enthusiasm 
              necessary to acquire money. Your best chance of finding a highly 
              paid job or new source of income is during the two weeks following 
              May 5. That’s when a new moon will attract a moneymaking opportunity 
              related to real estate, gourmet food, art, or luxury goods. The 
              two weeks following October 28 are also profitable for you, bringing 
              in unearned income. An inheritance, dividend, insurance payment, 
              scholarship, grants, bonuses, or tax refund could sweeten your bank 
              account during this phase. Extra benefits and perks from your job 
              could also add to your wealth.&lt;/font&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Taurus&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; April 21 – May 21&lt;br /&gt;
              A comfortable existence with all the necessary treats and trimmings 
              is what being a Taurus is all about. Your best earning opportunities 
              will come in the two weeks following June 3. Be aware, though, that 
              any jobs you accept during this period will involve lots of extra 
              work and responsibility. On the plus side, this will be both creative 
              and energising. Nearly seven months later, on November 27, you could 
              get a handsome and unexpected windfall. An inheritance, insurance 
              payment, tax refund, or alimony payment could be awarded to you, 
              but you may have to put up a fight to get what is yours. The threat 
              of negative publicity can help you get funds that are rightfully 
              yours.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Gemini&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; May 22- Jun 21&lt;br /&gt;
              You have the ability to earn large sums – but also to spend 
              them. Money could come pouring in this year and the best part is 
              you won’t have to work for it! If you’re in a relationship, 
              your partner could make a mint and share it with you. If you are 
              single, you could win the lottery, receive an inheritance, get a 
              divorce settlement, win a scholarship, or net a government grant. 
              Resist the temptation to spend all of these funds, as this year 
              may prove to be the exception to the rule. By putting a good portion 
              of this money into savings, you could retire early or live off the 
              interest of some wise investments. As far as earning money is concerned, 
              your best opportunities fall in the two weeks following July 3. 
              If you get a job, though, it may not have a lot of benefits. Therefore, 
              it’s wise to open negotiations for a higher salary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Cancer&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; Jun 22 - July 23&lt;br /&gt;
              You shop for quality and value – and expect things to last. 
              You won’t have to raid the sofa cushions in search of cash 
              this year. On the contrary, money will come from a variety of sources. 
              Your first windfall may arrive in the days following February 7, 
              when a solar eclipse brings you money from an inheritance, grant, 
              or scholarship. If you’re in a committed partnership, your 
              lover could make a mint and share their goodies with you. This chunk 
              of change may be so significant that you’ll be able to quit 
              a job that you hate; giving your notice around February 21 seems 
              likely. Your best time to get a lucrative job is near August 1, 
              when another solar eclipse shines in your second house of earned 
              income. Not only will this assignment be profitable, but it will 
              also help you use your creative and intellectual skills. Best of 
              all, this job will allow you to command more money for your services 
              in the future.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="5"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Leo &lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; (July 24 – Aug 23)&lt;br /&gt;
              Leos are naturally extravagant. You love to spend money on the people 
              and things you enjoy. The need to be resourceful with money will 
              be a continuing theme this year. Your job may not pay as much money 
              as you deserve, or it may be difficult to find work in your desired 
              field. It could be necessary to take a position that pays less than 
              the one you previously held. Alternately, you might have to do a 
              job that is beneath your educational level. This might be a good 
              time to work on a freelance basis, as you’ll have no trouble 
              finding pleasant short term assignments. You could also decide to 
              supplement your salary with odd jobs. Working at nights and weekends 
              may not be a thrilling prospect, but it will put extra money in 
              your pocket. This will be a comforting thought when a steady source 
              of income comes to a close near February 21, when a lunar eclipse 
              clears out an old, outmoded job for a bigger and better opportunity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="6"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Virgo&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; Aug 24 – Sep 23&lt;br /&gt;
              You are prepared to work hard for your money. And you devote far 
              too much time worrying about the money you have – as well 
              as the money you don’t have. A new job could come along in 
              the two weeks after February 7, when a solar eclipse lights up your 
              sixth house of work and service. It appears as though this position 
              will appeal to your inner visionary and while this assignment could 
              come to an end near August 16, thanks to a lunar eclipse, it will 
              put a nice chunk of change in your pocket. Fortunately, you’ll 
              have another opportunity to find work on September 29, but be aware 
              that this job won’t be nearly as fun as the one that preceded 
              it. A sudden windfall from an inheritance, insurance payment, or 
              tax refund could arrive near March 7. Be sure to put the majority 
              of this money in a savings account, where it will keep you going 
              during leaner times.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="7"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Libra&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; Sep 24 - Oct 23&lt;br /&gt;
              Libra is the sign of balance and that applies as much to money as 
              to anything else. Your finances continue to be erratic and turbulent, 
              thanks to an uneven and unpredictable job market. At times, you’ll 
              have too much, and at others, not enough. Keep in mind that your 
              best chances for receiving unearned income (tax refunds, alimony 
              cheques, insurance payments, inheritances, dividends, and prize 
              money) will be in the two weeks following May 5. An unexpectedly 
              lucrative earning opportunity could be found on or around October 
              28, when a relative tips you off to a fantastic job opening.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="8"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Scorpio&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; Oct 24 - Nov 22&lt;br /&gt;
              Money is power. And having power is what being a Scorpio is all 
              about. An inheritance, tax refund, or alimony payment could come 
              your way around June 3, but you may have to share this wealth with 
              a group of friends, relatives or fellow professionals. An impressive 
              career opportunity will present itself on August 1, when a solar 
              eclipse puts your CV in the hands of an important executive. Opportunities 
              related to art, entertainment, or gambling are highly favoured. 
              Your communication skills will be a strong asset to your new employer. 
              If you want a raise or bonus, lobby for one in the two weeks following 
              November 27. You might have to raise your voice in order to be heard, 
              but you will make your point successfully.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="9"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Sagittarius&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; Nov 23 – Dec 21&lt;br /&gt;
              Your optimistic nature leads you to believe that there is always 
              a stash of cash around the next corner – and, remarkably, 
              there often is. This year abounds with moneymaking offers; your 
              challenge will be to pick the most rewarding ones. Opportunities 
              related to law, publishing, education, medicine, and psychology 
              are all favoured. Ultimately, you’ll be able to turn a profit 
              wherever you go. An impressive leadership position may be handed 
              to you in the wake of a scandal around February 21. Telling off 
              your boss could result in your taking their job. Alternatively, 
              you may decide to go into business for yourself. Writing a book, 
              teaching a class, or guiding others on a personal learning curve 
              could make you a respected authority in your field.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="10"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Capricorn&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; Dec 22 – Jan 20&lt;br /&gt;
              Money to you means a secure and comfortable lifestyle. Moneymaking 
              opportunities will arrive suddenly and disappear again just as quickly. 
              Be prepared to move like lightning near February 7, when a solar 
              eclipse helps you find a job related to broadcasting, electronics 
              or research. Work that involves film, health care, or shipping is 
              also favoured. A windfall in the form of an inheritance, insurance 
              payment, alimony cheque or prize winning could arrive in the two 
              weeks following August 1. Be prepared for a source of earned income 
              to dry up after the lunar eclipse on August 16.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="11"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Aquarius&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; Jan 21-Feb 19&lt;br /&gt;
              To you, money is a commodity to be spent, used and enjoyed. Earned 
              income continues to be erratic and rather unpredictable this year, 
              but you’ve become used to this state of affairs. Your best 
              time for finding a job will be in the two weeks following March 
              7. Opportunities related to the film, food and drink, or healthcare 
              industries are especially favoured. An inheritance, tax refund, 
              or alimony payment could become available soon after August 30, 
              but there seems to be heavy responsibilities and lots of strings 
              attached to this little windfall. You may have to set it aside for 
              bills, house payments, or a child’s education.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name="12"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Pisces&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;/strong&gt; Feb 20 - March 20&lt;br /&gt;
              Pisceans tend to be either very good with money or very bad. Finding 
              a new job is favoured in the two weeks following April 6. Be prepared, 
              though, for this position to eat into your leisure time and bring 
              added responsibilities and duties in its wake. Getting into an office 
              romance could compromise your job so you’d be wise to resist 
              temptation and concentrate on your work. An inheritance, alimony 
              payment, insurance refund, or legal settlement could be awarded 
              in the weeks following September 29, but you may have to divide 
              these winnings among several other people.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Financial Blessings to You!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mona Magick&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=341645" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/archive/category/1687.aspx">Astrology</category></item><item><title>Why Some Spells Work &amp;amp; Some Do Not</title><link>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Mona_Magick/Why-Some-Spells-Work--amp--Some-Do-Not/341430.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Feb 2008 20:05:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8ca05964-da1c-4176-9dbc-9d0bc609bb83:341430</guid><dc:creator>Mona Magick</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/comments/341430.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/commentrss.aspx?PostID=341430</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;
  At first I thought to give you a blueprint on how to get your spells to work, 
  but we all know that spiritualism, energy and with all aspects of magick you 
  cannot possibly give a handover that will work for everyone! You don’t 
  have to believe in Magick but many for centuries have and Hollywood certainly 
  does! If you’re reading this article you obviously believe to some degree 
  that magick does work so by no means do not read any further if you are looking 
  on being convinced. I’ve met people from all over and many ask why didn’t 
  their spell work, how much longer will it take or ask even the biggest question 
  DOES MAGICK WORK?! From the surface I will tell you that if your magick did 
  not work, it may have not been done properly, and magick takes as long as it 
  has to lastly magick definitely works! &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;a name="top"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;If your general practitioner when affiliating yourself with 
  ANY magick make sure of the following:&lt;/font&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proper 
  Timing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  Proper timing the magick correspondences is key. This may start of with the 
  correct day, month, and time that the spell should start and in some cases should 
  end. The Moon phase is one of the keys to potency not to mention the success 
  in Spell casting. Farmers and botanist have been using these timing to a huge 
  degree for centuries. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt; The most popular correspondence 
  many practitioners use is by using the 4 phases of the Moon. There are four 
  phases of the Moon... New Moon, Waxing Moon, Full Moon and the Waning Moon. 
  Each of these phases has a 7 day period for doing your Magical workings. The 
  other popular timing is that of astrological positions of the planets to days 
  of the week. For instance you wouldn’t want to cast a spell during a Mercury 
  Retrograde for a grand announcement because during this time communication is 
  very mis- communicated to during this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;a name="2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ill Prepared&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/strong&gt; Just imagine having guest over at your new home for dinner and not 
  only did you not think about having beverages, or you didn’t bother to 
  stock the bathroom with the necessities. Need I say more? You may possibly need 
  herbs, colored candles, and in using sympathetic magick more and likely an object 
  that represents your spell objective such as a rose, a piece of clothing, lock 
  of hair etc, oils and of course the proper spell. The herbs, colored candles 
  and oils are specific ones that are associated with that type of spell. In other 
  words they have a vibration that is related to the what you are trying to accomplish. 
  For instance if you are doing a love spell you would not want to use green candles... 
  you would want to use red candles and if you were doing a money spell you would 
  not want to use red candles... you would use green. For Candles you can go to 
  my Candle Magic page to see what color corresponds to what need. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Right Practitioner&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
  Remember, not all practitioners are gifted equal. Just as you must shop around 
  for a medical physician you should do the same for your magick practitioner 
  until YOU feel comfortable. If you are trying to do a love spell, you must have 
  the emotion of love for that person to project out into the universe in order 
  for it to manifest. In other words you cannot be angry or depressed when doing 
  the love spell. The same goes for Black Magic Hexes and so forth... you must 
  be worked up into rage or a very hate filled mood to project hate at the Victim. 
  You cannot expect a Hex to work on someone if you are in a elated state when 
  performing the spell. Your mind must be in sync with the type of Spell you are 
  doing. Plus you must believe in your work and not have doubts. How can you expect 
  a spell to work if you don't believe in them (the practitioner) but you want 
  to try them just to see if they do work. In many cases to hire a practitioner 
  to do this work for you will cost you more than you’d pay to do it for 
  your self as the spell is not for them put for you and the desire is then thus 
  transferred. Last but not least and I must say out loud: Just because your practitioner 
  or you start to study or have had some interest in paganism, vodou, kabalah 
  etc. does NOT make you or the other person a guru at spell casting!!!! Again, 
  it only comes with practice and dedication!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consider the equation of Will Fate &amp;amp; Destiny’s 
  Timing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  This is one of the most trickiest of them all! Your “WILL” plays 
  a huge part in any given spell and so does the “WILL” of others 
  so do consider this notion. Now is it your Fate and Destiny to attain what you 
  want? Well…let’s just say that all that WILL Be WILL Be. This is 
  just too deep of a topic to go into one Newsletter but any wise practitioner 
  knows how to deal with this would be dragon! Finally, how long does or should 
  a spell take to work? Just know that the Universes and or spirits time does 
  not adhere to our universal clock work here down on this planet earth. If done 
  properly in time (undefined) your desire will manifest as the energy you have 
  put out to do so…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The experience of the Practitioner&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;Remember that practicing 
  magick is a building process. You won’t gain instant wizardry by going 
  to the nearest bookstore or via the internet etc and casting a few spells from 
  the book. Dabbling only begets you dabbled results. So start of with simple 
  spells if you’re new to the practice. If you go to a practitioner make 
  sure you interview them, and by all means don’t be afraid to ask for references. 
  If you do decide to use a practitioner make sure your relationship is an open 
  and honest one. One of my biggest peeves is a client that isn’t open about 
  his or her case and denies the obvious. &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The 
  Energy of the Practitioner &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  If you want results, potency and success ENERGY is a is KEY! From protecting 
  yourself during a ritual to casting a lustful love spell to boiling all the 
  energy needed into Hex spell – without the energy there is no result – 
  or at least the results you anticipate. Before you do any spell put every non 
  magickal energy you know to get things in order to help as magick is not a band 
  aid or blaster to put onto a problem!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Knowledge and Belief &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  You must believe in your magical workings not to mention understand what the 
  hell you’re saying. Don’t give an oath or pray to a god, goddess 
  or spirit that you aren’t even familiar with not to mention are unable 
  to pronounce their name! You must have faith, be patient and you must believe 
  but above all it’s more than helpful to know something about the origin 
  or why the spell should work for you. So many of you want to try some spells 
  first to see if they work and then you'll decide to believe. That's not the 
  way to do it! If you do not believe in the Occult and Magick... then I suggest 
  you stay away from it as Magick is a way of life. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The proper Spel&lt;/strong&gt;l...&lt;br /&gt;
  Let's face it... you must have a good spell as much as you should have the proper 
  prescription for your ailment! Some of the spells out there are pure crap and 
  some are really good. Some spells may work better for you than others, so experiment 
  and keep a journal of your workings so that you will know which ones work best 
  for you and which ones don't. Also just because a spell doesn't work for you 
  doesn't mean that it is no good... you may have not been the right state of 
  mind or maybe you didn't have the proper materials. All the above things on 
  this page come into play. So like I said... keep a journal and find the Spells 
  that work for you!&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;a href="http://www.spiritualminds.com/articles.asp?articleid=36283#top"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dedication&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  Some spells require several days and for you to be very loyal to the timing 
  of when you re-enforce them daily else the spell is incomplete and will not 
  work. This means from the start of preparation to even AFTER the spell has been 
  cast. Many first time casters forget the oaths they’ve taken or the seriousness 
  behind the words mentioned within their rituals during their spell casting. 
  Dabbling will only get you in trouble not to mention unsatisfactory results.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;a href="http://www.spiritualminds.com/articles.asp?articleid=36283#top"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One 
  spell at a time&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  Sorry, mixing spells is not prohibited. Mixing materials from other spells used 
  and finished is not going to work here as the energy from those items such as 
  your candles and materials relating directly to the spell done last has that 
  energy specifically as hopefully you had raised. I know you want Fame, Fortune, 
  Beauty, love, Luck and what ever else you can get but everything takes time 
  and energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;May your spells work!&lt;br /&gt;Mona Magick&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=341430" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/archive/category/1969.aspx">Spells</category></item><item><title>7 Helpful notes on Love Spells</title><link>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Mona_Magick/7-Helpful-notes-on-Love-Spells/338100.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 18 Feb 2008 10:17:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8ca05964-da1c-4176-9dbc-9d0bc609bb83:338100</guid><dc:creator>Mona Magick</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/comments/338100.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/commentrss.aspx?PostID=338100</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Love spells can be an effective tool for enriching your love life. But be sure 
  to remember the adage, "Be careful what you ask for, because you just might 
  get it." Think carefully of the type of love spell you want to cast, the 
  possible results and what you hope to receive from the spell. You will find 
  that love spells, as with any magick, can help turn your desires and wishes 
  into realities in your life.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Know the intended&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/strong&gt; One rule of thumb is that if you are in need of a spell on a particular 
  person or your relationship it is BEST that you are currently in a relationship 
  with the person intented. I once had a young man name several women he wanted 
  a love spell done on within 30 days and he knew none of them! You may however, 
  have an attraction spell done on your behalf - just make sure it's specific!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Stay away from manipulation&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/strong&gt; Is Casting a Spell an Attempt to Manipulate Others? Love spells, as 
  well as other love spells, work with the positive energy that is in all things 
  and all people. That means the practice of spell casting respects the free will 
  of the people towards which the spells are directed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Love spells can be just as effective when cast correctly and in the right spirit. 
  A responsible spell caster will use spells that are worded to not be manipulative 
  or violate free will.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Enhancement is Key&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/strong&gt; A reunited lovers’ spell can be worded to enhance, and bring 
  to the surface feelings that already exist for you until your lover thinks of 
  you so much they can’t wait to have you back. In this way the spell is 
  not creating new feelings, nor is it making your lover bind to you outside of 
  his or her free will. Don't forget that enhancement should not stop at the ritual 
  altar...work on your relationship as well!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free Will is Law&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/strong&gt; This is not only respectful of the free will of your lover, but it 
  is also a fullfilment of your deepest desire. You want your lover to desire 
  you from his or her own free will, not because they have been manipulated to 
  do so, or because they have been put in a kind of trance over which will have 
  no control over and mostly likely will always have to be re enhanced.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Know when to have your spell cast&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/strong&gt; An experienced spell caster is the best person to cast a love spell 
  for you. The most important of these is the wording of the spell itself, but 
  the date and time of the spell casting is also important. Experience has taught 
  me that casting on the best date in the lunar month yields far greater results 
  than if cast immediately regardless of the lunar cycle. However, you'll also 
  find in other traditions time ie. hour of the day etc may be more important 
  etc. If you do decide to go to a spell caster, tell them the truth about your 
  situation to "one" get faster results and "two" not to cause 
  damage with your advisors relationship and you not to mention potentially more 
  problems in the love relationship that you've gone to them for.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DYI&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/strong&gt; Consider taking care of the carnal things in life at hand on "this" 
  realm as spiritual energy is best done when you are well focused because it 
  should be a last resort of course. On the other hand, if you prefer to cast 
  the spell yourself, that is possible too. But obviously if you are inexperienced 
  you will need some guidance. If you feel that your spell isn't working you may 
  always contact me for a consultation as to the best route in making your spell 
  successful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

population of shopping at the last minute and in many cases the
eleventh hour! I know the feeling, you've know this person all your
life or perhaps only since last month - Why not shower that special
someone with the gifts that they'll appreciate? If you know their Sun
sign you're likely to get it if not on the mark to a satisfying smile
of gratitude close to it....maybe even more!!!! :-)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ARIES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;March 21 - April 19&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Aries
buys the first thing that catches their eye. For the Aries in your
life, a little red sports car is always a good standby. Anything in the
color red is important and things made of iron - bar bells, fireplace
accessories, equipment for their personal gym. Perhaps a day when their
wish is your command. This is the sign of the daredevil; they are in a
hurry to get everywhere and set the world on fire. Aries loves being
first; anything unusual and likely to make them stand out from the pack
is going to be appreciated. Aries rules the head.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;For women hair
accessories, earrings, sunglasses and stylish organizers are going to
be popular. For the men gadgety "toys" will win their approval as will
anything that confirms his status as an action man. Tickets to a
sporting event are also likely to be popular with the Aries male.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;TAURUS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;April 20 - May 20&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Taurus
knows how to appreciate the finer things in life. They enjoy classic
home and garden decorations. They don't mind the old standby - money.
It really does talk to them. Other ideas: perfumes, aromatherapy,
scarves, jewelry. They get good energy from things made of copper or
anything sensual. Emerald green is a great color for them.Comfort
features largely in the Taurus home and any gift that allows them to
wallow in luxury will go over well.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Taurus rules the throat and
vocal cords so music will always make a popular gift. A hamper full of
tempting and delicious delicacies will also win you their approval. For
women necklaces would be suitable. For either sex gifts that allow them
to express their own creative natures would be appreciated.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;GEMINI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;May 21 - June 20&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Gemini
rules the mind and these people are usually driven to investigate and
discover everything they come across. You could almost argue that there
needs to be two of them to cover all the ground they do.Ruled by
Mercury, they'd like anything silver or yellow. A Gemini might prefer a
bicycle; no, make that made for two with his/hers cell phones!! Nothing
that will make them stay in one place too long is for this sign.They
may also prefer a personally written book, telling how you feel about
them and adding some of your favorite poems, songs, etc. Diaries,
calendars, calligraphy lessons or pens are all good choices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;As
they are always on the go, travel accessories would be popular with
both sexes. Interesting and informative books and videos should also be
well received. Their ruler Mercury is the planet of communication so
telephone and Internet accessories are likely to be popular as well.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CANCER&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;June 21 - July 22&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Ruled
by the Moon, Cancerians are very attached to their family and their
homes. Cancer knits sweaters and makes fudge for the neighborhood. With
your Cancer, it's time to go ahead and hand down the family silver or
give them family photos for their desks in antique silver frames. They
appreciate a romantic evening at home with a home-cooked dinner,
candlelight and a fine wine. Pearls, silver, perhaps new cookware, or a
scrapbook with memories of the two of you. Rest assured that your
sentimental Cancer will appreciate the heirlooms and pass along the
stories that go with them. They tend to be very close to their mothers
or estranged from them. There tends to be no real middle ground with
them in this area.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Cancer loves to be pampered and coddled.
Hand-made and personal gifts that show that you really have gone out of
your way to pick something just for them will win you lots of points
here. Food and cooking are usually popular with both sexes so a hamper
packed with their favorites would be appreciated. Backing this up by
whisking them away for a romantic picnic or a weekend away will go over
incredibly well.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;LEO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;July 23 - August 22&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Leos
quite naturally think of themselves as the King and Queen of their
personal jungles.Ruled by the sun, don¹t forget things like a beach
chair, sun porch accessories, sun glasses, gold, and things in yellows
and oranges and ambers. Leo makes charitable donations on behalf of
their loved ones. They are often rather dramatic and are likely to have
a following of loyal friends who appreciate their rather regal charms.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Anything
that helps them stand out from the crowd will please both the lions and
lionesses. Just make sure it is quality and you will have a big old
pussycat on your hands here. Fine champagne, gourmet cheeses and
chocolates would be appropriate, as would gold jewelry. Vouchers for a
massage, facial or manicure will also be well received.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;VIRGO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;August 24 - September 23&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Virgos
are the most picky however practical sign of the zodiac and are likely
to appreciate gifts that they can use and that help to keep their life
in order. Your picky Virgo is the organizer of the zodiac. How about
color-coded coat hangers for the perfectly organized closet? No? Then a
leather desk set or matching sweaters for the Virgo and their pooch:
they adore their four-footed children. Perhaps a gift certificate for
their favorite health food store. They enjoy what I call 'care
packages': a big box full of many small gifts. Desk organizers,
personalized stationery, the colors khaki and peridot look well on them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;A
leather briefcase or Filofax/DayTimer would make good presents. Gift
certificates for a facial or manicure would also be well appreciated.
Books are likely to be well accepted by both sexes although you may be
better off buying non-fiction as opposed to fiction. Remember this:
Virgo's gifts don't matter quite so much as their impeccable wrapping.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;LIBRA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;September 24 - October 23&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;This
sign more than any other strives to create a balance in its life and
needs harmony and peaceful surroundings to help them leave the
sometimes too hectic world behind.You can bet your Libra will not be
alone - ever: so something like his/hers tanning beds or a day at the
day spa and whatever the equivalent would be for a guy. The blue topaz
is their signature color/stone. A gift certificate for a local renowned
designer would not be sniffed at, nor would designer bed sheets,
jewelry boxes or chests.Ruled by Venus the planet of love and beauty
you can't go wrong by buying gifts that reflect an inner peace and
harmony.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Elegant and tasteful knickknacks for around the home
would be appropriate, most particularly in pairs. Two beautiful candle
stick holders, silver photo frames or twin book holders will delight
women born under this sign. An elegant watch or dinner at an exclusive
restaurant will appeal to both sexes, as would a basket of gourmet
goodies.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SCORPIO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;October 24 - November 22&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Dark
and mysterious Scorpio more than any other sign inspires fear in the
other signs and with good cause. Your Scorpio would probably prefer a
regression session or a talk to the other side with that medium that
helped JLo. Their colors are blood red and black and sometimes white.
They will enjoy the sexy lingerie you purchase, or leather clothing -
anything sensuous.A good and loyal friend, they will never forget a
kindness but they also find it next to impossible to forgive an injury.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;For
either sex dark sunglasses to conceal just who or what they are looking
at while they are about and about would be appropriate. Known for their
passionate, sensuous side, in a close relationship, intimate lingerie
as long as it is expensive and classy will also be well received.
Scorpio also likes to know things - all things, so books and videos on
unusual and little-known but interesting subjects are likely to appeal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SAGITTARIUS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;November 23 - December 21&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Ruled
by Jupiter, They love to travel and hate to be tied down. Sagittarius
distributes strange souvenirs from exotic locations. They are also
likely to be quite sporty and active.A race horse for your Sagittarius
will be a hit. One or two tickets to Europe will be promptly used. A
set of "The Great Books" or nice luggage is great. A new snow ski
outfit, titanium golf club, or gym equipment will please your sporty
Sag. Their colors are orange or purple, sometimes, but rarely together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Travel
equipment or books and videos on travel to different exotic places will
appeal to this sign. They are also likely to be quite interested in
sport. Exercise equipment or gym membership will also be well received.
This sign can also be prone to accidents, so a traveling medical kit
would also be quite appropriate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CAPRICORN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;December 22 - January 20&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Capricorn
has an appreciation for history and tradition. Plant a big hardwood
tree for your Capricorn. Then put a solid gold knocker on their door
engraved with their name, and title, as well. Their colors are navy,
brown and black. Important stones for them are onyx, lapis and
diamonds. Get your favorite Cappy an old fashioned pocket watch. Give
them autobiographies of powerful people and mountain -climbing
paraphernalia.They like things to be done in the correct manner. They
are consistent and conscientious workers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Antiques will be well
received and a welcome present for a Capricorn. Anything that has a
stamp of class and good breeding on it will also be appreciated. Gifts
should be practical as well as beautiful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;AQUARIUS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;January 21 - February 19&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Aquarians
are known for being "out there".The Aquarian on your gift list will be
easy. Just be sure it is the latest gadget, gizmo or electrical fad.
The palm held computer or a tv/wristwatch are sure winners. Movie
passes, club memberships, motorcycles, New Age books, or sky-diving
gift certificates keep them from getting stale. Their colors are azure,
turquoise, sky blue and aquamarine. They are unusual and
individualistic and are often surrounded by friends. This sign can come
across as a little impersonal at times as they often feel more content
within a crowd of friends than in a one on one relationship.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Anything
unusual and one of a kind will please the Aquarian in your life. They
are likely to be into new age therapies so you may try your luck with a
gift certificate for aromatherapy. Astronomy is usually very popular
with Aquarians so telescopes are likely to be a very popular gift. To
really impress an Aquarian you could have a star named after them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PISCES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;February 20 - March 20&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;The
dreamy types and anything romantic or sentimental will appeal to them
immensely. Send a contribution to the "save the baby seals fund" in
their name. Well, what about a UFO vacation trip? Pisces will enjoy an
aquarium (something similar to the one in Chattanooga should do), a
stained glass window, a lily pond or a psychic reading. Their colors
are purple, amethyst, and blue-green.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Photographic equipment and
frames would make good gifts for the Pisces. Luxury bath oils and
scents will appeal to the women as will perfume. Water accessories for
surfing, diving or swimming should be well received. Pisces often have
some musical talent as well so music and or musical equipment are
likely to be a good choice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Stellar Blessing &amp;amp; Happy Shopping,&lt;br /&gt;Mona Magick&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=317196" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/archive/category/1687.aspx">Astrology</category></item><item><title>New Age Paraphernalia</title><link>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Mona_Magick/New-Age-Paraphernalia/227574.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Sep 2007 06:11:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8ca05964-da1c-4176-9dbc-9d0bc609bb83:227574</guid><dc:creator>Mona Magick</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/comments/227574.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/commentrss.aspx?PostID=227574</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;div id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;You’ve been there before:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;You buy that crystal
for it’s magical properties but then you decide that one is never
enough to do the job so you buy that special amulet, however soon you
find out that perhaps it’s a different shape that’d make the difference
in attaining the result you want – before you know it, you’ve a
collection of assorted “what not’s” to start your own ebay online store
if so chose to sell them at one point.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;The same goes for all
those do-it-your-self spell kits, candles, and my favourite, those
annual astrology compatibility books that you’ve kept for years…”why?”
They say if you don’t use it, you’ll loose it” Well, because it’s not a
human ability to go back into time, lose the outdated books that
reference yesteryear not to mention the spiritual and new age items you
purchased that you have no intention of using again or have ever used
in some cases.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;The tools you use for spiritual enhancement and
magick is like the ingredients of medicine. Some medicines loose their
effectiveness, some should only be used for a designated timeframe, and
some medicines need to be reinforced sometimes to be stronger but for
crying out loud they should be used else thrown away. After all the
tools that you purchase unless displayed as ornaments are to be used
less that contain no power at all.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;It’s not hard to keep up with
your tools, and know what to do with them…but very some very simple
guidelines below to assist with the clutter on your altar:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;/b&gt;Your
tools should be charged properly with the correct corresponding
activating spell, incantation etc. Don’t just purchase that “Money
Tree” amulet and that that you’ll be able afford to go to P Diddy’s
party’s on a regular basis.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;/b&gt;If your amulet has served
it’s purpose and has proven to work for you keep it and disregard all
the other crap that you have that’s not working… the amulet, charm etc.
that you use will continue to be charged with working for only you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;/b&gt;Be
mindful that those tools you purchased in that New Age store or online
can carry negative energy, so make sure you are aware of what you have
hanging around your home and you in fact are acting spiritually
counterproductive to what it is that you want.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;/b&gt;A note on love:……it’s going to take some work…a little more than a Rose Quartz!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5.&lt;/b&gt; Books:
Do your homework and look on the internet first – it’s free! Don’t get
stuck purchasing something that just going to collect dust. The best
books on spiritualism, the occult and new age are timeless compact with
priceless information not found on the internet!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;6.&lt;/b&gt; Study
the significance behind what you want to purchase. Many spells,
incantations, and amulets have words, and symbols that you don’t know
what they hell they say. Make sure you lean the meaning and feel the
meaning less it’ just becomes a novelty.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;/b&gt;Lastly, however
foremost, change your mindset and focus on the energy and power you
have over purchase anything as your inner power IS stronger than any
item you can buy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;You don’t have to through everything away that
you have as I’m sure if not magical some items may be sentimental to
you…like your first tarot set or your first pendulum etc. Go ahead and
keep those but get rid of all the other garbage that 1) you don’t use
and 2) Haven’t done crap for you!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Keeping all that doesn’t matter
just becomes the stereotypical “mumbo jumbo” it just doesn’t work. Once
you’ve cleared you altar, cupboard or room up unwanted or unused items,
you’ve only your dedication, and knowledge on the matter at hand to
deal with attaining your spiritual goals which is a job in it self…but
at least you’re closer than you were before than to have tools that
don’t contribute to your cause.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Many Blessings,
 &lt;br /&gt;Mona Magick&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="link_51" target="_new" href="http://www.monamagick.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=227574" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/archive/category/1689.aspx">Spiritual</category></item><item><title>Financial Astrology &amp;amp; Your Success</title><link>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Mona_Magick/Financial-Astrology--amp--Your-Success/227551.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Sep 2007 05:53:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8ca05964-da1c-4176-9dbc-9d0bc609bb83:227551</guid><dc:creator>Mona Magick</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/comments/227551.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/5454083/commentrss.aspx?PostID=227551</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;div id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Where do you suspect your money troubles come from
your star sign? This may be true in many cases however, did you also
know that you the why in which you were brought up also contributes to
your money habits, such as what sun sign your guardians were to help
encourage who you are today? Based on your astrological sun sign (for
those well versed in Astrology your Rising sign as well) you may also
want to look at the sun sign of the person who you feel has contributed
towards your financial habits…take the good… and extract the bad onto
your way of financial bliss!:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ARIES &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (Mar 21 – April 20)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: Arians and money is a bad combination, as most live they live
for the day and don’t think of the consequences. Arians are likely to
have lied at some point to a loved one about their finances.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial
Success:Arians are competitive… as friend, lover, or partner it may be
best to “show them the money” or allow them to live by your example and
they’ll soon learn the financial ropes that way. It’s not a good thing
to dictate the numbers to these Rams if you want results. If you’re the
Arian reading this…look over the shoulder of someone who knows what
they’re doing!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;TAURUS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (April 21 – May 21)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At Heart:
Generally not as adventurous and stick with the same deals even if they
aren’t the best rates. Therefore Taureans are more confident about the
status of their credit rating.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial Success: Unless, you as
a Taurean is looking to make more money, it would be best to live by
the saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. However, by not looking
into competitive rates you may be doing yourself at a disadvantage by
not keeping up with the best options as in some cases it’s forced some
in the red. Make sure you review your accounts from time to time and be
aware of new offers that businesses give in order to keep your
business, as in the end you’ll become a very valued customer – thus
receiving a “Star Rating”!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;GEMINI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (May 22 – Jun 21)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: Good salesmanship! Excellent wheeler and dealer when it comes to
finances. Could it be because they’re “other” half (the Gemini is a
Twin Zodiac sign) is always helping them out? Gemini’s are always on
the lookout and searching for the best deal in town. You’re not one to
argue about cash.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial Success: Dear Gemini, you could have
so much more if you were just a little more astringent about the money
that did go through your hands! I know you can be generous at times but
it would be helpful to your pocket if you helped others understand that
you do not have an endless pot of gold!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CANCER&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (Jun 22 – Jul 23)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: You look after your money as much as you have the huge ability
to splurge! F.Y.I. You’re considered one of the biggest financial
liars. However, for some reason you’re very believable as you always
find a way to get back on top.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial Success: Save yourself
from “you”. Open up a secure savings gaining the best interest rates
that cannot be touched for at least a year. Keep multiple ways to
invest your money by even investing in several small piggy banks around
the house, as you’ll be less tempted to go to the bank. Your mantra is
avoid ATM cards and anything to do withdrawing money. Have your
automatic bill paying services already set up for you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;LEO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (Jul 24 – Aug 23)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: “King of the Jungle” that is…always expressing their good
intentions…their “many” good intentions” eventually racking up the
debts! The more they borrow, the more they spend as the cliché goes.
However, these lions aren’t all that bad as they do end up paying for
what they set out for…it just takes a while as they go through the list
of all those pricey “intentions”.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial Success: Leo’s you
should do your research, stop and think about each purchase. Don’t
think too long as they deals that you come up with aren’t always around
for long. Why not share your new “intentions” with that of someone you
trust to help you decide on what to invest or purchase before you’re
broke, as a result. You can financially successful if you’re just wise
in the choices you make.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;VIRGO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (Aug 24 – Sept 23)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: Considered “thee” most meticulous sign of all the Zodiac signs,
so it shouldn’t surprise you they Virgos are just the same with money –
accounting for every penny. Most have a very good to excellent credit
rating. Sometimes, they may miss out on taking advantage on
opportunities for they’re worth as they can also be very cautious –
thus missing out on more money making avenues.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial Success:
How do you make something right into better and then perfect? You keep
on polishing it! Virgo, you’ve taken risks before, the opportunities
are still out there. You don’t have to put all you have into an
investment, there are always ways to test the waters before you get the
waves going. Since you won’t make too many financial mistakes it would
be good for you to study up on financial investments as you’ll
meticulously choose the best options!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;LIBRA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (Sept 24 – Oct 23)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: All the Libra has to see is the sign that says “ON SALE” or “BUY
THREE and GET ONE FREE”. Most Libras are swayed by attractive offers
and jump into deals without looking. This can put a Libra into great
debt. Granted a Libra will always make sure to have some of the nicest
things money can buy for the money they have left to spend of course,
but there has to be a “balance” with this zodiac sign if they want even
more money to spend!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial Success: Take your time with each
purchase, with each financial investment and read things over, and over
and over and over again…then come back the NEXT day and do it all over
again! As a Libra it’s best to invest one at a time and within time to
make sure no one has pulled a “fast one” on you, and you’ll do fine.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SCORPIO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (Oct 24 – Nov 22)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: Wanting that “doggy in the window” is never an issue for that
Scorpio cause it they want it bad enough – a Scorpio gets it! This even
means if they have to seek out dozens of lenders before getting the
right offer. This can become a problem if a Scorpio is in a joint
venture with someone else...Furthermore, a Scorpio is also inclined to
choose the top of the line item which only will add more salt to the
financial wound.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial Success: The good news is that most
Scorpios over time learn from their mishaps and tend not to relive them
again. As a Scorpio you’ve a keen since of quality so most of you’re
investments are well worth the money. However, it would be good
practise to save up for that ticket item rather than investing in
increasing your debt. Remember that thing called “Saving”? Do this and
you won’t be so popular with the banks on the giving side anymore not
to mention saving your relationships.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SAGITTARIUS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (Nov 23 – Dec 21)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: Hmmm… we all know that there’s nothing wrong with your sense of
memory, so why did you forget…rather – ignore paying that bill? Because
you’re considered one of the luckiest Zodiac signs of the chart you’ve
an ability to always land on your feet with many or if not all your
mishaps. This should not be an excuse to take, Lady Luck for granted.
Sagittarius tend to be very happy go lucky with money and investments
as well, which is why they tend to loose and gain as much as day and
night.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial Success: “Control” is your mantra! If possible
set up automatic payments via your bank, save your money from your self
and “then” keep on living the way you live best. Life shouldn’t be
about being uncomfortable and restriction is a not good place for you
so learn to have what you don’t do best managed by someone who does so
you may continue with the luck that the heavens have given you! Lastly,
as a Sagittarian you are very trusting so from time to time know that
not all carry your luck or can be trustworthy… check up on your manager
to make sure they’re keeping on top of things from time to time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CAPRICORN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (Dec 22 – Jan 20)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: You manage your financial accounts very well my dear Capricorn!
You even look for the best deals…Most are proud of their credit rating
and even have money saved for “Rainy Day”…and even a “Sunny Day”! So
how can one almost so close to perfection need any type of advice? Oh
yeah that’s right… live on a planet where there are so many others that
we must interact with that DO NOT manage their money well thereby
somehow trickling into the demise of your account handling!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial
Success: Keep on doing what you’re doing by keeping your accounts tidy,
secure and safe. Look into investing a little more than you’re
accustomed to add revenue – which you’re so good at. Finally, learn
that as “things happen” others will see your pot of gold and will
naturally want some of it. Establish your limits and keep your mouth
shut about what you have in the bank and I can assure you that it won’t
decrease. You may at one point in your life be taken advantage with
financially by those closest to you – (perhaps more than once)… so be
on the look out and you’ll be fine. Why not show them how to manage
their money so they never come back asking for yours!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;AQUARIUS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (Jan 21 – Feb 19)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: One would say that there’s always a rumble in your financial
department. There’s times you’re rolling in cash and then times you’re
in the red – big time! Why is this? Uhhhh…. if you take the time to
reflect on the past events causing this each time, you’ll see the
answer right in the mirror! Since you can’t run away from yourself it’s
not your surroundings, your family and friends to blame….it’s just you.
This is not to say you are incapable of making money nor saving. It’s
only to say that you’ve got to be careful with money more than most.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial
Success: Take your time and think before spending. Can you really
afford it? Do you really need it? Is it really worth the money? How
much do you really know about what you want to purchase? Is it to
appease everyone else? Be totally brutal in your decision making
process when it comes to money and you’ll be on top. You do however,
know how to spot a gem when you see it. Just make sure you can afford
it first, moreover, you’ll be able to afford it if you don’t purchase
other ticket items frivolously in the first place.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PISCES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 (Feb 20 – March 20)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;At
Heart: Money issues are at the bottom of your agenda therefore it may
appear that you let a lot of things slide. Be careful about this in
regards to partnerships as the other half may think that you do not
care resulting in misunderstandings. You enjoy action and tend not to
be into the detail of that action therefore it’s only likely that it
would appear that you let your financial matters slide.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Financial
Success: Since it’s very likely that your money matters will involve a
partner, why not have your partner or a financial advisor take care of
your money matters and you handle the other details that the money is
paying for? You a normally very good within your chosen trade so who
wants to be bothered with that which isn’t your expertise – learn to
give that to the financial experts and you’ll be much happier.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;Happy spending and investing,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mona Magick&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=227551" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
