Friday the 13th Full Moon (Sept 13, 2019)
On Friday, Sept 13 2019 there will be a full moon, what does this mean?
A magical full Moon is set to rise on Friday the 13th. Well.... that is if you live in Western half of the Western Hemisphere (West side of the Americas). Those in Europe and the Eastern United States / Canada will technically be in September 14th when the Moon hits the 100% full mark (but we won't mind too much if you claim you saw a full Moon on Friday the 13th).
Ok, so what does this mean?
Full Moon
Full Moons are often seen as a time of maximum magical effect. This is pretty much true, some spells or rituals are better timed at new Moons, or when the Moon is waning (shrinking) or waxing (growing), but generally people prefer full moons to do spells or rituals.
You may have heard about charging magical items. One way to do so is to leave the item outside over night and let the moonlight and starlight "charge" the item. So when there is a full Moon this effect is magnified because it receives as much moonlight as possible.
Friday the 13th
The number 13 has magical properties in many civilizations, and not always in a bad context. For example, in France the number 13 was a prediction of a better future. But most of the time 13 is seen as an unlucky number.
In Christianity it is particularly bad. Judas, who was said to betray Jesus was often called the 13th disciple. The 13th chapter of Revelations is dedicated to the Anti-Christ. And years with 13 full Moons were especially hard on the monks who had to calculate religious holidays.
From ancient tarot cards which often had the 13th card as the Death card, to a movie franchise about a mass murderer, to modern computers that get hit by viruses which only appear on this one day, Friday the 13th is a date with a lot of spiritual and magical meaning.
Bringing it Together
Like with all magic, intent is one of the most powerful ingredients of your spell. You can cast a good fortune spell on a full Moon on a Friday the 13th following the French belief of the day being lucky, or use the date as a day to bring misfortune to a rival or enemy. The choice is yours!

CANCER (June 21 - July 22) Assets and possessions monopolize your time and resources. Some of you may be longing for scintillating experiences and if so, sexuality will be the motivating force. Literally or symbolically, something will reach its conclusion today. Both romance and finances will be in the spotlight. Stay away from commitments.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22) Worldly pursuits appeal to you immensely right now. You are the life of the party wherever you go. Enjoy the successes of recent days with friends and family but be sure to take precautions. Accidents or thefts may occur if you party to extreme. You may have overindulged yourself and be in need of a friend to bail you out. Avoid major decisions related to work right now. You need more time to think and plan. Time with family may inspire new ideas. Remember that dreams and ideas remain invisible until you work hard to realize them.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21) This is a time of good fortune. Legal affairs resolve in your favor. You may have the opportunity to travel abroad, perhaps with a mentor or father figure.

You miss someone -- after all when there is love in the home, there is joy in the heart. Reach out to friends and acquaintances. Mend relations that have decayed over time and display your appreciation for those who have made a difference and supported you over the years. Care is the ingredient that keeps friendships alive. Care gives latitude to another person and forgives past wrongs. Quite simply, caring sustains love.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) Communication is vital right now. Reach out to family in need, especially a younger sibling. A short journey, perhaps shared with family, may be on the horizon. You are feeling confident enough to face any conflicts in front of you at this moment. Speak up or put your ideas on page. Others are ready to listen. You have worthy ideas in place but the world hasn't recognized their value yet. Your energy has the potential to impress though. Staying positive and looking for the right connections can yield success. Redirect your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.
