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
The Cancer Moon supports the unfolding of the pleasant side of life. The longing for home and homeland, rest, and security are in the foreground. It is an excellent opportunity to relax and develop new energy in our soul.
extile Uranus (Virgo) This is a great time for going out with friends and having fun! You may change things up at home, with either how things are conducted, or by redecorating. You may bring new technology into the house, such as smart televions, laptops and security. This transit is perfect for creating memorable romantic dates that are out of the ordinary! It's also a good transit for any sort of business dealing with hi-tech and women, or feminine products.
extile Jupiter (Taurus) This is a wonderful time to get together with family and share, and remember, joyous memories. Business opportunities are abound, and good money can be made. It's a wonderful time to decorate your home, or look at buying a beach house, or something close to the ocean. It's a good time for romance. International travel can occur, and plans should go smoothly! You may want to adopt a pet to snuggle up close to.
This opposition can cause a lot of trouble at home, where fighting may occur over children and finances. It's not a good time to get advice from elders, or people in authority. Your mental state may not be good right now, as you may feel very melancholic. Right now, it's very important to get good sleep, fresh air, keep a clean environment around you, exercise and eat healthy.
Your emotional life is active during this time but could be one-sided. You experience the awakening of your feelings. You might feel the desire to experience adventures, extreme actions, traveling, and discovering new places. It is an excellent time for discarding items you no longer need or use at home. You may desire a beauty makeover!
extile Moon (Cancer) Your energy will feel slightly passive today, and you will be able to think rationally acting with your head, instead of just your emotions. You will treat your fellow human beings as equals. Employer and employee relationships will run smoothly. You feel at home everywhere during this time. Relatives and friends are helpful, so you should turn to them, but quickly because, unfortunately, this aspect does not last long.
