Today is Sunday, October 18th 2026 / Pacific Standard Time
In the western hemisphere, we’re in the first quarter phase of the moon. The sun is in Libra, the moon is in Capricorn. With the sun in Libra, balanced relationships with others will be a focus, while the moon in Capricorn will motivate you to work on your personal goals and dreams. Not so much in your feelings today, which is good.
There is also a void of course moon for most of the day, until the moon enters Aquarius at 6:40pm:
The Moon is said to be void of course during the period after it makes its final major aspect to another planet before leaving its current sign. During this time, the Moon is no longer forming significant connections and is considered astrologically inactive until it enters the next sign.
Traditionally, the void of course Moon is associated with a sense of pause, uncertainty, or non-resolution. Actions initiated during this time may drift, lose momentum, or fail to produce expected results. It’s often seen as a better time for reflection, rest, or routine tasks rather than beginning something new. However, in certain contexts—especially for endings, spiritual work, or releasing attachment—the void period can be meaningful and supportive.
Because the Moon changes signs every two to three days, these void periods occur frequently and vary in length. Tracking them can help bring awareness to natural pauses in the rhythm of daily life and support more intentional timing.
Today is a good day for balanced activities that relate to duties and responsibilities. With the moon in Capricorn, you’ll feel compelled to work on your ambitions. What are your goals, what are your dreams? You’ll be able to focus on that while enjoying time with your family, friends, or by yourself.
While doing all of that, don’t forget to rest your mind, body, soul and spirt and have fun. The sun in Libra wants to see harmony and balance.
Suggested crystals and stones: whatever you have, whatever you’re drawn to. Follow your own inner compass as there is way too much information out there as it is.
But if you do need suggestions. Since it is Sunday, Citrine, Quartz crystals, Sunstone or any crystals that remind you of the sun are good to work with. Pair that with Moonstone, Smoky Quartz or any crystal and stones that remind you of the Capricorn moon are great as well.

In between writing this blog post, making breakfast and playing with my 2 cats – this Smokey Quartz point with Golden Rutile wanted to show itself. It is available for purchase here.
Witches and magical people have aligned the days of the week with the planets (the sun and the moon count as planets by the way) to their practice for hundreds of years. It’s called Planetary Magick.
Here is an excellent breakdown from Google’s AI:
Planetary magic is a Western esoteric tradition that works with the seven classical planets—the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—as living forces and intelligences rather than just astronomical bodies. [1, 2]
The Seven Classical Planets and Correspondences
According to the College of Psychic Studies, practitioners align rituals, colors, metals, and timing with specific planetary traits: [1]
Sun: Vitality and success (Colors: Gold, orange; Day: Sunday)
Moon: Intuition and emotions (Colors: Silver, white; Day: Monday)
Mercury: Communication and intellect (Color: Yellow; Day: Wednesday)
Venus: Love, art, and harmony (Colors: Pink, green; Day: Friday)
Mars: Courage, action, and strength (Colors: Red; Day: Tuesday)
Jupiter: Abundance, expansion, and luck (Color: Purple; Day: Thursday)
Saturn: Discipline, boundaries, and structure (Colors: Black, dark gray; Day: Saturday) [1]
Key Practices
Planetary Hours: Working magic during specific days of the week and planetary hours ruled by the target planet helps synchronize intentions with cosmic currents, a view shared by community discussions on Spells8. [1, 2]
Talismans and Rites: Practitioners use traditional grimoires (such as the Picatrix) or texts like Planetary Magick by Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips to craft specific seals, invoke planetary spheres, and consecrate astrological talismans. [1, 2, 3]

So for today, we are aligning ourselves with the Moon on a Monday. Only rightfully so; for most people Monday is the start of the work week. Monday is when we ease into the week, for example our response to early morning chatter or demands from us without our coffee or breakfast usually makes us moody and irritable, amirite?
Or being forced to get to work right away on a Monday…why?
Moon = intuition, dreams, subconscious, feminine energy. Working with the moon also opens up your psychic faculties.
So today if have some time before getting ready for school or work – create some quiet time for yourself. Allow your mind to rest, wander, dream and receive psychic information. Doing this before you start your day will be beneficial for your mental health.
I’m aware that not everyone gets to have quiet moments at work. So if you don’t have time, then you can sit in front of the computer and allow your mind to wander. Only do this if you’re not super busy at work.

I put together this money crystal grid in 2021. I also noticed people would search for “money spell” on Google and somehow end up here on my blog.
So I am going to attempt to share some activities on how to attract more money to you:
All I know is I am Lord Jupiter, 11:11
Write it down, then take action
+ Most people start off wishing for more money. Wishing and daydreaming about having money is great (it plants the seed in your imagination) but writing it down and keeping it near you – like sleeping with the note under your pillow or even writing it down in a journal and taking it with you wherever you go – the thought you wrote down starts to permeate into your subconscious thoughts.
+ When the thought you wrote down over and over again starts to enter your subconscious, you’re going to want to do some kind of action. You start doing your research on how to make more money whether it’s online or through buying books. For example, many times years ago I was writing “I am creating multiple streams of income” without any clue how I was actually going to do this. It’s okay if you don’t know how you’ll get there, but write it down anyway. The fun part is looking back on things you wrote in the past and realizing you manifested that.
+ You start building up your skill sets – whether that’s learning how to do marketing, social media, copywriting/SEO, video editing, graphic design, web design, etc. You apply for a job or a gig that you saw that fits your exact skills and they hire you? Boom, you just made your wish come true.
+ You acquire more knowledge and skills from paying more experienced people to show you how to make money by investing in yourself. When you do this, you can now create your own system on how to make money. Money must circulate so in order to make money, you have to invest in yourself by learning from others.
To really pinpoint what your strengths and weaknesses are, it is best to study yourself through astrology.
+ Perhaps if I’ve gotten to know myself sooner, I’d be a millionaire by now. But don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t understand astrology.
+ Let’s keep it simple for now and focus on your sun sign, moon and rising sign.
+ You can even ask Chat GPT, Grok or Gemini to analyze your birth chart, specifically asking it to analyze your personality based off your birth data. Again, for accurate results you must provide your exact birth time.
I’m going to add more to this but for now, start where you are. If you have no money at the moment, then start writing down your goals. For example, I wrote at some point and wrote it over and over again:
I am making $88,888.
I am making $88,888.
I am making $88,888.
I am making $88,888.
I am making $88,888.
I am making $88,888.
I am making $88,888.
I am making $88,888.
10 years later, I passed that amount at my job. Was it magic? Yes but my will was involved. I was determined to be the best at what I do and the effort paid off.
I learned this from a book – when we write statements starting with “I am” – we are making our wishes happen in the present moment. If I started with “I will make $88,888” – you won’t see results right away as you’re writing it as if it hasn’t happened yet, you are writing it in the future.
To increase your prosperity, talk about your abundance. Words are important. Everything you say has the potential to create the reality you experience. The universe responds to your positive talk.
Repetition, imagination and emotions are key
+ You must keep writing it down (example: I am making $88,888) and draw magical symbols around it – hearts, pentacles, stars, numbers, infinity and sacred geometry symbols, etc. The universe will start to plant ideas in your head on how to make money. For example, I started selling minerals in 2017 (idea). I learned healing modalities such as Reiki and Trans Crystal Therapy (another idea).
+ You must also visualize what it would look and actually FEEL like to have this money that you’re asking for; how does it feel? This is the trickiest part because you must see yourself in another timeline where you are happy because you have this money. Feelings of joy, happiness, peace and gratitude – imagine yourself feeling this in the present moment WHILE forecasting the future that hasn’t happened yet. Because in a parallel timeline, it already happened. I know this sounds really trippy and complicated but really though; it’s all about picturing the future version of you that ALREADY has this amount of money in their bank account.
Go and commune with trees
+ Not sure why but trees have long been associated with money, wealth and abundance. I love trees or looking at anything green, it heals me. Trees take a long time to grow, the same as investing and acquiring knowledge and skills to generate money.
Time your money magic with the days of the week
Mondays are associated with the moon – a good day for tapping into your dreams, intuition.
Tuesdays are associated with the planet Mars – a good day for taking action, creativity
Wednesdays are associated with the planet Mercury – thinking, coming up with ideas, working with data, communications, travel.
Thursdays are associated with the planet Jupiter – expansion, faith, good fortune
Fridays are associated with the planet Venus – payday for most Americans, money, leisure, art, pleasure
Saturdays are associated with Saturn – karma, responsibilities, adulting
Sundays are associated with the Sun – joy, happiness, wealth, abundance
I bought this money candle from House of Intuition in Los Angeles circa 2015
Try working with candle magic and minerals
+ With candles, results may vary but usually within 2 weeks, something happens. You can even get a green candle from the grocery store and sprinkle it with cinnamon.
+ With minerals – crystals and stones – results may also vary but it’s best to work with green stones (Green Aventurine, Jasper, Agates, etc) and pair it with an orange/or gold/yellow stone such Carnelian, Pyrite, Tiger Eye. As always, including Quartz crystals will help amplify your wish. Smoky Quartz attracts money as well by the way.
Keep living your life
Continue to live your life, moving towards your manifestation. Andy Warhol says – as soon as you stop wanting something, you get it. What it really comes down to is a balance between wanting it with a calm state of mind with an inner knowing that what you want is already yours and not wanting it out of desperation. Keep practicing your magic, keep experimenting to see what works with you and you will get there.
Conclusion
There are many ways to attract money, wealth and abundance to you. Just know that it all starts with you and how you think about money. Hopefully this helps a little.
Stare at this money crystal grid and write your wish down. Know that whatever you want is already yours. And so it is.
