Your Daily Horoscopes For Tuesday, May 21st

Instead of overreacting to circumstances we cannot control, today’s objective Libra Moon inspires us to reflect on our changing situations, without necessarily doing anything about them. However, contemplation alone can be isolating, unless we’re willing to take action or, at least, talk about our dilemma. Chatty Mercury’s connection with the evocative Moon enables us to discuss our feelings with ease while stern Saturn keeps us on point.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be eager to resolve a relationship issue today, but the discussion might not go as smoothly as you wish. Unfortunately, hiding your emotions isn’t a smart strategy in the long run. Your good intentions won’t be enough — you must also be willing to compromise in order to get what you want. Acknowledge the reality of the other person’s feelings first, and then work together to find common ground where you both can stand.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

The reliable methods that help you finish your work on another day won’t be good enough now because of your unwavering desire to surround yourself with beauty. It isn’t sufficient to just answer a nagging question or handle a lingering problem … today’s Libra Moon also wants the solution to be elegant. Nevertheless, you may have to let go of your unrealistic expectations to arrive at a plan that will be practical enough to work. Luckily, making a small sacrifice pays off sooner than you think.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You can breathe a sigh of relief and finally enjoy some playtime now that the Moon is dancing in your 5th House of Fun and Games. Take this opportunity to do something special with children today … or if that isn’t possible, try unleashing your own inner child. Even if you have to throw out previous plans, a spontaneous activity could turn the day into one that is delightful for all involved. Laughter is contagious, so start spreading it around.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may be feeling some ambiguity about socializing with close friends or family members today. You look forward to relaxing and catching up with everyone, yet you can’t help but worry that others might pressure you into taking sides in an ongoing conflict. Spending some time alone could be your wisest option … there’s no need to justify your choices to anyone else. Once you have had a chance to regroup, you can return to the fray in a much clearer state of mind.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You prefer to maintain some control over the flow of events, but your long-term planning may fall apart when an unforeseen obstacle slows you down. Instead of struggling to stick to your schedule today, respond with common sense and quick thinking. Take immediate care of the most pressing issues and let the less important ones fall temporarily to the wayside. Setting priorities is a great idea as long as you are flexible when change is required.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You find it difficult to make financial decisions if you’re yearning for something that’s outside of your budget. But rationalizing your extravagance is a waste of energy now, even if your potential acquisition is a good deal. Save your money and spend it on another day when you are more certain about what you want. A cool and collected approach today can help to stave off unnecessary stress when it’s time to pay the bills.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Now that the reflective Moon is back in your sign it’s even harder to take sides because you can see an issue from both perspectives. Don’t give in to someone else’s pressure to choose one answer over another unless it’s quite clear to you. Your ambivalence may annoy others, but it’s also your greatest strength. Maintaining an open mind enables you to save the day as you play the role of a shuttle diplomat, going back and forth until the best solution becomes apparent to all.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Spiritual Mystery amplifies your dreams today, but you may have trouble giving them concrete interpretations. Although you want to understand the symbols of your subconscious mind, you could work yourself into a state of frustration if you assume that everything has a hidden meaning. Excessive analysis can detract from the magic of myth, so trust in the process and let go.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be discouraged today if you share something significant with your friends, only to receive their disapproval. But they probably aren’t as negative as you assume because you could have set your expectations too high before giving anyone a chance. You’ll receive more support if you involve others in the process than if you overstate your case in the beginning with a dramatic show and tell. Start off slowly and build a solid foundation before adding another level of complexity.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If you feel strongly about a current situation, let others know your opinion today instead of playing games and keeping it to yourself. Rather than trying to manage hidden agendas, it’s healthier to put everything out on the table so everyone knows exactly where you stand. Don’t worry if you meet resistance now … overcoming people’s objections will only serve to strengthen your plan and define your character.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It might appear as if your friend or partner is jockeying to get credit for something that he or she doesn’t deserve. Your annoyance could become an issue because you don’t think that others are paying enough attention to you today. Even if you believe that you’re being completely objective, you may have biases that arise from a temporary lack of support. Don’t blame anyone else for your hurt feelings now — work on improving your own game.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have a low tolerance for people who make plenty of promises and then spend too much time on public relations, rather than just doing the work. You don’t want to make judgments, but it becomes more challenging if someone doesn’t hold up his or her end of the deal now. Unfortunately, openly criticizing others probably won’t help the current situation. Take the high road today … bite your tongue and wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, May 21st

Once you wake up from yesterday’s karmic onslaught, it is time to figure out who is the new you! Did Monday’s Uranus-Pluto square-off, plus the other potent alignments, shift year psychic gears into park, neutral or super-drive? Four more Uranus-Pluto 90-degree aspects will keep humanity on its proverbial toes until March 2015. Therefore, the spiritual process of shape-shifting into your higher self is more unfinished than complete.  In the meantime, the universe gives you a 24-hour time-period to playfully enjoy the brand new Solar Gemini vibes — offering you a cornucopia of delights on the communication, literary and educational horizons. Amplifying this trend are flowing trines via the Moon in Libra to Mercury in Gemini (7:34AM PDT) and Venus in Gemini (12:25PM PDT).  Keep up your valiant efforts to move ahead across the board, although the evening atmosphere is muddled due to a frictional, 45-degree aspect from Pallas to Uranus (9:41PM PDT) and a square from Mercury to Chiron (11:50PM PDT). While anxiety and stress may suddenly be rampant, you can still manage to tweak both sky patterns into bringing you divine and healing resources that allow intellect and intuition to blend their magic.

Invocation to Gemini

Light twin of daytime
Dark twin of night
Speaker, writer, storyteller,
Riders of the wind,
Quicksilver child of Mercury
Whose gift is Thought,
Bless us with the ability
To think sharply as a razor,
And to separate the True from the False.
By the power of all that is spoken,
You challenge us
Not to underestimate
The power of Mind.
May we all go forth in clarity.

Chant:
I am word
I am wind
I am breath
I am spinning
On the edge
Of the blade.

(All shall be given paper and pens, and all shall write down some secret thing to be whispered only into the ear of the Gods, and all shall tear the paper into tiny pieces and fling it into the wind, to be taken to Their ears.)

Gibbous Moon

This Moon phase is suited for synthesis: coming up with a practical plan for getting from point A to point B. Adjustment is required.

Amazing Grace

Goddess Comments & Graphics

Amazing Grace

How sweet the Earth,

That bore a Witch like me.

I once was burned,

Now I survive.

Was Hanged but now I sing.

‘Twas Grace, That Drew

Down the Moon,

and Grace that Raised

the Seas,

The Magick in,

The people’s Will

Will Set our Mother Free.

We Face The East,

and breathe the winds,

That move across the Earth,

From gentle breeze to hurricane,

our breath will bring forth change.

Turn Towards the South,

and Feel the Fire,

That burns in you and me,

The Spirit’s flame shall rise again,

and Burn Eternally.

We Greet the West

Our Souls awash,

In Tides of Primal Birth,

Our Pain and blood, Our Tears and love

Shall cleanse and heal the Earth.

Reach in to North,

and Know your roots,

Down Deep ancestral Caves.

We find the Wisdom of the Crone,

of Circles we are made.

Amazing Grace

How Sweet the Earth

That bore Witches like We.

We once were burned

Now we survive

were hanged and now we sing.

Goddess bless,

So mote it be

Our Magick Spirals on,

Merry meet and Merry Part

and Merry meet Again.

For Success on an Important Occasion

 

Steep in a bath A bowl full of leaves

From three or four or five of these:

Marigold, Celery, Mint and Grass, Nasturtium, Parsley, Fennel and Cress.

When the brew is green and the steam sweet,

Lie in the water and thrice repeat:

And I shall be

As green and strong

Good herbs, as thee

Draw me favor

Draw me fame

Draw bright honor

To my name

Rise from the water

Thrice empowered

Wear those virtues

You have conjured.

So Mote It Be.

Life As The Witch – Self Dedication

Witchy Cat Graphics & Comments

Self Dedication

Before you decide to dedicate yourself to any religion, Pagan, Wicca, The Craft, Druidism, etc., it is important that you take time to contemplate what this will mean to you & also to those around you. Any religious dedication once taken becomes a lifestyle & not just an occasional ritualistic worship or prayer.

To dedicate yourself is a promise to the Creator & to yourself to not only explore the Craft and its ways of life, but to “live” it & stand behind your choices. It is a commitment of respect and tolerance for yourself & others. Members of the Craft realize the no one, no even themselves, can be “all-knowing,” but once “dedicated,” then they are committed to a lifetime of education. Education will come in many forms, for this is “the way” of the Craft and has always been. You will embark on a continuing study of  not only the mysteries of the world but the mundane as well. You will desire to learn many thing and to learn them well.

As members of the Craft, we know that to change the world, we must first change ourselves, and in order to change ourselves we must know who & what we truly are, both good and bad. This is possibly the most difficult commitment of all.

A Practitioner must learn to completely be honest with themselves & become intimately acquainted with all aspects of themselves as well as all the aspects of the unending mysteries of life and it’s brethren as well. You must do this to the fullest extent possible. Dedication is the first step on this sacred life’s journey. You be prepare to commit yourself to respecting not only all religions, but all life forms including yourself.
