Or to develop better my psychic abilities?
(I'm not saying that I noticed some supernatural abilities, but I would like to develop something like that)

All that Libra, Cap, and Virgo make me think you'd probably do best with a structured path, that is something clearly explained and traditional. So perhaps starting with this classic that many who prefer that path swear by:
http://www.amazon.com/Mystical-Qabalah-Dion-Fortune/dp/1578631505

You should be able to get this through the library, using ILL (Inter Library Loan) if necessary. If the ILL form wants the ISBN, then it's the ISBN-13. For your convenience (this would be the answer for ISBN on the ILL form): "978-157863150."

Others by Israel Regardie and Donald Kraig would also be for this path. There are covens of witches (male and female, often having the genders as balanced as possible) will encourage members to read these books as well.

That said, I must say two things. One, don't mistake metaphysics for physics. Many of this mind often do, and think of the metaphysical and metaphorical as just another layer of the physical universe that pretty much works by the same laws, when the metaphysical is more poetic than that. (That's the best I can explain it to someone outside that view.)

And two, I experimented with this path and it was bad for me. But obviously, it works for many people. I have reasons to think that this going bad for me is due to my upbringing (in which one did not trust higher entities, be they parents or judges, without getting hurt) and natal chart (in which my packed 5H requires a more creative approach, nothing else will work, and again going with my upbringing, what I do for myself is what I can trust, a lesson my subconscious has latched onto and it affects any magical or mystical practice of mine).

In any case, you should consider your upbringing. Your background, and that which you repress in yourself, can manifest right along with what you intend (or affecting what you intend), which can help and hinder depending on the specifics of your upbringing and your current practice. 'Course that's true of life in general actually.

To better develop your psychic abilities, find a mantra or sign you can focus on and then get a timer. Set the timer to how much time you want to spend on it, 20 minutes a good starting point. Focus on that One Thing, trying to block all else out, including stray thoughts, what you've got planned, etc.

This will take practice and frustrating at times (especially at first), but all the Cappie energy in you makes me think you can do it.

Once you can do it, then increase the time.

The really advanced path is to focus strictly on your breathing, and then, when perfectly calm and relaxed, is to tune everything out besides that. Again with the timer. At first the timer is to help so you don't keep looking at the time, but at this stage the timer is to remind you to come back because you'll lose all sense of time. It's as refreshing as sleep in its own way, and back when I did this I had some incredible psychic experiences and awareness. However, this isn't always a good thing, and one time a mentor of mine had to shut me down psychically because of some disturbing experiences (and that included an ending to my practice of this).

It's said that being vegetarian can help with being psychic while eating meat hinders that. I'm not convinced that's true (as some of the most psychic people I know are meat eaters, though arguably they'd be even more so if they were vegetarian), but I'm throwing it out there, especially as one of the ways my mentor shut me down to the astral was having me eat lots of meat.

With Saturn squaring your ascendant descendant mars and mercury you have your work cut.out for.you in terms of spiritual development which focuses very much on your gentle self expression at all costs. Saturn mars looks to Venus jupiter there for healing in the esoteric realm, given Jupiter*s rulership of the 8th. It makes sense you should consider this enjoyable given.the 5th house placement

first of all first time i hear anyone wants to become one,so i have to ask this: why do you want it,what would it bring to you?

Second of all i tought that most real mystical abilities are runing trough the family and cant be learned or bought or something else if you dont have it in you,so,do you?

you have Neptune and Uranus personalized, so the potential is there, and the way Neptune and Uranus's energies work are more erratic and mysterious vs pluto is more conscious and directed..

sooooo, when asking "how to become a witch" you should first find out what you actually consider a "witch".. are you just trying to search around occult avenues and see what fits? something to remember when doing research on occult subjects is to validate the persons opinion/knowledge your studying as competent and valid, there are plenty of INCOMPETENT occult writings out there, and its easy to get lost in fantasy, vs a search for truth. so when you say "witch" I think of pagan religion Wicca, which focuses on the powers of goddesses, the earth, moon cycles and herbs, essentially worshipping the earth, ive read a few "shadow books" which are journals of knowledge, findings witches will write down to share with other witches. my best friends mom growing up was wiccan, she taught me how to do tarot when I was 15, she was truly a perceptive being, but I personally found wicca still to not be in-depth enough. its like hitting the surface but there's still so much more to uncover.. I find patterns and correlations throughout all philosophical and spiritual notions, you can find validity in anything.. you just need to know where to look..theres so much mysterious potential its all just accumulative experience. theres an underlying truth of quantum measures that pulses and literally vibrates through all occult studies/just being and its a basic notion that we are indeed..all one.

there are plenty of ways to "attune" your senses since its almost like a muscle.. practicing on focusing the mind through meditation is helpful. there are tooons of different kinds so I would recommend experimenting with what feels right for you. REMEMEBER THIS : our path, is unique to our journey! that's what's so beautiful about it, you make your own choices and validations of growth. a key signifier of good truths, are open to the freewill of individuals, you can tell that the more "dogmatic" and complex something is, the more likely your dealing with fragments of others egos and subjective info thrown in. unfortunately these kinds of studies are littered with that.. so its up to you to figure out what makes sense to you and what draws you in.

you can start by just researching, researching different philosophical books, mystical books, esoteric, theres sooo many!! connect with like minded people, spiritual connections with others are so fulfilling, they really are the best IMO. experiment with energy work.. meditations.. just going within. that's what it comes down to.. is being able to sit still and break past the veil within yourself into our souls our true selves, which will always be the purest truth we can ever find here.

It is my belief that you either are or you aren't.

Do you have the ability to manifest things easily?
Are you in tune with nature? Animals? Insects?
Do you read energy easily?
Do you pick up on spirits?
Are you naturally psychic?
Naturally drawn to the tarot or astrology?
Drawn to herbal remedies or self healing?

You very well could be and don't realize it (this is what happened to me). Studying, strengthening and practicing should only be done only with the purest and best intentions.

My advice is to do your research and go with what feels the most natural to you. Go with what comes to you instinctively.

Being a witch isn't just about being psychic, it's about being universally in tune. It's a very beautiful thing when handled properly.

I want to be a witch so I can have some power.
I don't feel like one, at least not yet.

What I forgot to say is that I'm quite sure that in my past life I was somebody who had very deep knowledge about esotery... I do have Sirius and asteroid Prometheus on my South Node. I think I was high priestess in Ancient Egypt. However, in this life I'm nobody, know almost nothing and don't have any support. I feel like somebody who was ripped off from my status.

Power over your life is one thing, power over others is unacceptable. Free will is a huge part of cultivating the craft. Example: you can summon a lover but you cannot, ethically, summon a particular person to be your lover. You ask the universe to bring you the person that is meant for you at this time.

Trying to exert power over others will not end well for you.

Maybe you were someone of high standing in a past life and maybe you abused those powers. Perhaps you are supposed to develop an understanding of universal law in this life?

I did have very interesting and convincing past life reading app. two years ago. It was said that I was a spiritual leader but many people didn't agree with me so I had problems. In this life I am suppossed to continue to preach about spirituality, but on more grounded level. I should also learn how to deal with other people, because in the past life I failed to connect with others.

How can I summon persons/things in my life? I'm afraid to bring wrong person in my life. I also feel so powerless.

You meditate and ask the universe to bring you the people that are meant to be there. Whether it's people that are supposed to teach you or people that you are supposed to help.

Try to practice some positive manifestation at the coming new moon. Make sure your intentions are pure.
