February 9 through February 15, 2026

A couple of planetary shifts will keep us on our toes this week, as Venus moves into ethereal Pisces on Tuesday and Saturn enters Aries on Friday. Monday’s Scorpio Moon may have us procrastinating, as we drift along with the easy vibes from last weekend, but come Tuesday, a Sagittarius Moon will have us up and running at full speed! Lasting through Wednesday, this is the time to make decisions, set new concepts into motion, or finally complete a project that’s been getting pushed to the back burner since the first of the year. The Capricorn Moon, from Thursday through Saturday, is all about the art of grounding, attending to our physical and financial worlds to bring them back into balance. Designate Sunday as an open concept day, as the Aquarius Moon will change our direction at a moment’s notice. Everything works out in the end, and we’ll find ourselves quite happy with what we do (and don’t) get done!

Infuse Your Spellwork with the Power of Color, by Ileana Abrev

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

I'm amazed at the way color can slot right into our magical workings, matching dozens of different needs to any particular color. In my new book A Rainbow of Spells, you'll understand the importance of color in not only in magic but also how color affects change and harmonizes everyday life.

Everything has a color; everywhere we look, there is an associated color. Our skin, our clothes, the interior of our homes, even the color of our bath towels. (There are obviously loads more, too many to mention!)

In magical work, color is just as important as crystals, candles, and even herbs. All crystals have a meaning, and the color of that crystal also reinforces its meaning. There is nothing as soothing as a white candle burning peacefully while you relax away the stressors of your day. Once a color is added to that soothing candle, it transforms into a magical tool.

Lighting a candle with a positive affirmation for money is a simple spell, but if you change the white candle for a green one it gives this simple spell strength—not to mention a little bit more oomph to connect with Universal forces. This is because the color green is associated with money and growth. (Think about nature: a large part of our planet is green, and where there is green there is always growth.) Your intention could be anything from financial growth to healing, stimulation, and even hope. This is but one smidgen of how to manifest with color.

The planets in our solar system play an integral part in magic, as well, and each planet has a color associated with it. When I first started working with color magic, I liked to keep a yearly calendar where I could just glance at it and know what was happening in the magical world on a particular date and how I could apply those correspondences to my magical workings each day. I started with a weekly calendar on my fridge, but now you can do it digitally, whether you print it out or use it on a computer or smartphone.

Here is one idea that you can also apply to your calendars, whether physical or digital. For each week that I wrote down the name of the Planet and the date of the week with which it corresponded, I then shaded in the color assigned to that planet. For example: on Sunday, yellow for the Sun; on Monday, white, silver, or purple for the Moon; on Tuesday, red for Mars; on Wednesday, brown for Mercury; on Thursday, blue for Jupiter; for Friday, pink for Venus; amd on Saturday, Volcanic Red for Pluto.

I also highlighted the phases of the Moon and their meanings. When I did this, I was able to match them to what I needed to achieve or for the spell I wanted to do. For example, on the full moon, I concentrated on emotional healing. On the new moon, I concentrated on my wishes and what I wanted to create. The waxing Moon is when the moon starts to grow and is a time for growth needs, and the waning moon is to rid of anything you no longer wish in life, and and excellent time to get rid of negative energy.

Once I did that, I then wrote the magical attributes of the day. Sunday, growth and financial stability; Monday, health, wisdom, and comfort. Then there is Tuesday, a day of courage and strength. Wednesday is the day for communication and study. I like Thursdays for money and stability. Friday, of course, is for love and forgiveness, and Saturday is for combating negative energies.

Here is an example of how you can put it all together. Let's say you want to do a love spell. First, look at your weekly calendar. As you can see, Friday is Venus Day. Venus is associated with love. This is a great day for a love spell. Now that you have that sorted, look at the moon phases and see what day the full moon or a waxing moon falls on. Both are good days for a love spell if one of these falls on a Friday. If not, and you need something done straight away, then do it outside of the Moon phase correspondences.

From there, you will need to gather color for your spell. A few things you can start adding include a pink crystal, a pink candle, a pink piece of paper, or even a pink ribbon (to name but a few). When you do this, you are telling the universe that you need love or self-love. These are some of the tools you will need when manifesting with color and energy.

In A Rainbow Spells, I have added bath spells. In the bath spells, I have used food colouring for manifestation using the water element. To get started with your magical bath, just refer to your calendar again. Look at what you wish to manifest and go from there (or search in A Rainbow of Spells for one that I'm sure will match your needs). Another magical way to incorporate color and water include magical water sprays you can do using crystals. You can carry these with you in a small bottle, or use a large bottle to spray your home for a particular need. For peace in the home, get a spray bottle and add water, a few drops of lavender essential oil, two drops of purple food dye, and an amethyst crystal. As you add these magical tools to your water, think of the peace you want to have in your home. Leave this bottle outside for one day and one night to settle. Then you can spray this inside the home like an air freshener for peace in your home.

You can also fill your family home with love, hope, happiness, and financial stability (not to mention protect it from unwanted energies) by using color. This can be done with things as simple as a tea towel, a vase, a rug, wallpaper, or paint, and don't forget your bed sheets, which are very important for a good night's sleep. If you are exhausted, try purple or white sheets. If you want a passionate night, red is the color to use.

If you are going to paint the home, have a look at the color meaning in A Rainbow of Spells. There, you can see which colors are good for studying, for sleep, for manifestation, and for peace in the home. Additionally, you can implement the practice of Feng Shui, which is the Chinese art of placement of items and elements in the home to maximize wealth, health, happiness, love, and more . In magic, I call it the Rainbow placement for the home. For example, you would not want to paint your child's room red, which will just excite them and in turn, make it hard for naps or sleeping at night. Instead, try painting the walls in pastel colors, like pink, green, or blue. You can always paint it yellow to stimulate learning. Even a yellow cushion on their bed will do wonders for this.

Never place anything in the home without reason or just because it looks good. I know, I've done that as well, but you can work around it. Instead of painting a wall light purple for peace, find a painting you can hang up with all those peaceful shades of purple; when you hang it up, visualize it bringing peace and happiness into the home.

Always keep in mind that color is not just color; rather, each color of the spectrum has a meaning and is a major contributor to our daily life. Use A Rainbow of Spells as a guide to color in magic when needed. Just tab a color and you'll find a variety of spells for your needs.

Enjoy, have fun, and harm none.

Blessings,
Ileana

Lately, I have been sleeping with a stone (rhondite) on my third eye. This stone is said to help with meditation and the recall of past lives. Twice now I have found, when opening my eyes, that there is a silvery thread from the ceiling to my forehead. The first time I thought it might be something like dust or a spider web, so I climbed on the bed to touch the ceiling. Of course, there was nothing there. What do you think this silvery thread may be, and what is this experience telling me?

Astrea:

Each of us has a Ka or life force that extends from various chakras and reaches out to others. Most people can't see this as a visible aura, but those of us who meditate and seek Enlightenment may develop the ability to do so.

What you saw extending from yourself to the ceiling was your life thread, the silver cord that connects all living beings. It probably extended way beyond that, but since you were awake, you couldn't see that part of it. It will wrap around the whole Earth if you let it. You will soon learn to see it when you want to, and use it to help you.

You've chosen to try to find out where you were in your Before Times, and even where you'll be in your After. This path can be difficult, but with time and patience, you can succeed.

You're on the right track! In mentioning that you've been working with stones, you gave me your answer. Since you're seeking to learn about your past lives, your Life Force has been reaching out to try to connect with others in your Ka-Tet or karmic family. Some of those people are alive here on Earth, but many of them are probably waiting for you in an afterlife or sacred place that is as much a part of you as your physical environment is now.

When we pass and cross over, we encounter others we've been with before who for some reason didn't return with us in our current incarnation. Either they didn't want to leave Heaven or they had some other reason for not wanting to be here with us this time.

Coming back as a human being is a choice, and not every member of our karmic family makes that choice every time. Some choose to remain in Celestial Incarnations forever, and the only time we see them again is in meditation or when we join them after we die. Though sometimes it's sad to think that we don't always all return together, everyone is an individual and can make their own choice.

You'll be able to learn to communicate with all of your Ka-Tet now, no matter where they are, by using that silver cord that connects all of you forever.

When you see that light, instead of chasing it, try to bring it closer into your body. If it resists your efforts, try to bend it around your body, going in and out your fingers, toes, and every orifice such as your eyes and nose. Once your meditation gets to that point, you will be able to do more, and the things you want to discover will be revealed to you bit by bit.

Susyn:

Minerals and stones can awaken, heal and protect our spirits. Sleeping with this stone directly on top of your third eye is opening up a channel to Spirit. As you may be aware, once our third eye opens, we gain the ability to see many things that are indiscernible to the physical eye.

The silvery thread you saw is an opening to another dimension, one that should continue to grow stronger and more evident as you continue this practice. It represents a direct connection to the Universe and your spiritual source of power.

We are all surrounded by many spiritual threads and chords that connect us to Spirit and the world around us. Like the energy centers within us known as the chakras, these become more evident as we grow in our spirituality.

Just as when we feel a connection to another person, there are invisible attachments we make that can be described as metaphysical strands or threads that tie us to one another. This is why, when we lose a relationship, it can be difficult to detach from it or let it go.

These spiritual ties can be strengthened when we give them energy or diminished when we move away from the connection. When people move away from their higher source, these threads diminish, wither and close up. When we are seeking spiritual growth and enlightenment and practicing daily to awaken metaphysically, these threads become stronger and begin to create a powerful ribbon of connection.

Rhondite is a wonderful stone for opening up your heart, grounding and healing your physical body, and awakening your inner spirit. Now that you have created a visible bond between yourself and the Universe, you may want to consider alternating different stones to awaken your psychic gifts and intuition. Stones such as tanzanite, amethyst and moonstone will make wonderful additions to your spiritual quest for enlightenment.

You can also wear or carry these stones with you or meditate with them in your awakened state. As you continue to work with these stones, you should witness the thread of silvery light growing stronger and more visible.

To learn more about the various stones and their metaphysical powers, there are a number of books on the market that can help. I recommend Scott Cunningham's Gems and Minerals Magic, which identifies the properties of the stones and offers spells you can perform to awaken the power within them - and within you!

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
