Walpurgis Night
The Walpurgis Night is named after the holy Walburga. She was a Benedictine abbess from England (710-779). Walburga is the catholic patron saint of plague, and her Walpurgis oil is said to have healing powers. She was also the patron saint of pregnant women and protected them from starvation. Even today, you can see a representation of St. Walpurga at the stained glass windows of Regensburg Cathedral.
After her canonization, the annual celebration took place there on 30 April. The nine days before that was called Walpurgis Days. Nine is a mystical number, which is also associated with witches. The figure stands for strength and mighty power.
Especially in Bohemia and Lower Austria, these days are celebrated. During this time, a window is always opened to protect the Walburga from ghosts. You should receive a piece of gold from her, as thank you.
Quote of the day
Witch’s one-times-one
This, you must ken!
From one make ten,
And two let be,
Make even three,
Then rich you'll be.
Skip o'er the four!
From five and six,
The Witch's tricks,
Make seven and eight,
'Tis finished straight;
And nine is one,
And ten is none,
That is the witch's one-time-one!

Daily aspects
When Saturn stands in Taurus, we are calm and thoughtful; we are powerful and purposeful. We are stable, and we never let go of what we have achieved. We are economical, develop persistent energy, methodology, and tenacity. If Saturn's aspect is unfortunate, we can be selfish and uninhibited. We can reveal a low attitude and rough behavior.
One can feel insecure and inwardly unbalanced. Strong passions are possible, but also inhibitions in love. It may not be easy to harmonize your emotions with your rational desires and needs.
extile Mars (Sagittarius) This aspect gives you the ability to communicate well with the opposite sex. Good relationships will occur at work, and you'll feel a lot of drive to achieve more - or even have a side project working from home. You may also have a craving to eat hot and spicy food, so go take your partner, or friends, to the closest Indian or Mexican restaurant! Just know that it'll be easy to burn off the extra calories, as you'll be inspired to exercise more.
If Mercury stands in Gemini, then we show an exceptionally bright and sharp mind. Our attitude toward languages and the economy is encouraged, maybe we prefer to read now and more than usual, plan to go on a journey and are particularly witty. Mercury, in Gemini, encourages curiosity and openness to everything new. We could tolerate a change from everyday life.
