My husband and I are starting a new business - an elk farm.
I would like to know if it is okay to register it now as it is a full moon. I know that it's more auspicious to wait for the new moon but then it will be ruled by Gemini is that still okay for farms I thought that Taurus might be better. do you have any idea what sign Elk are ruled by. Do you have any spells that are good for starting off a new business.
Love & light Julie

Dear Julie,
An elk farm? What a delightful prospect!! I asked my wife, who has more business acumen than I do, and she recommended starting the farm under the full moon of Taurus. Taurus seems more appropriate, as both elk and bull are bovine beast. Gemini is good for business ventures though, especially if you plan to diversify. So you might want to dedicate the business under the full moon of Taurus, and begin the actual financial work under the new moon of Gemini. You might also comsider setting up a small outside altar to Herne, the Horned Forest Lord, protector of the wild beasts. A spell to bless a new business? Try this simple one... Write your hopes and ventures on a piece of parchment, and wrap it, together with a green candle and gold (those new gold dollar coins are GREAT for magick...!) in an orange cloth, for attraction, and bury it under or near the altar. May the Lord and Lady bless you and your farm with a future of prosperity and joy!!
Blessed Be, Satyr

Thank you both so much for your quick and excellent reply. I would like to draw on your obviously wide resources once more. Do you have a special dedication that I can say or some sort of symbolic gits that I can make to Herne, it sounds like a wonderful idea. We have a large garden and I certainly wnat protection for our elk especially as 13 of them are pregnant and due to deliver within a month. Which direction should the altar be in etc. Where should I face when I do the ritual which watchtowers etc. Who else should I invoke along with Herne. What time should it be performed. What colours should my husband and I wear. Actually I was given a wonderful cauldron that should be arriving for my garden pretty soon. Which direction should that be placed in.
Hope I haven't troubled you both too much. What about moon in Aquarius as I read that it governs most animals. My husban is an Aquarian and I am a Pisces.
Blessed be and endless universal abundance to you both.
Julie
