Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, April 17th

An alignment of spirit and force encourages us to fight for our convictions today as assertive Mars hooks up with the willful Sun. The Sun brings light and vitality to warrior Mars, prompting tempers to flare. We can act without thinking, inviting hostile reactions. It’s most important to find constructive outlets now for our cantankerous energy. However, the Moon in supersensitive Cancer reminds us to be caring when we express our feelings.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Crash! Bam! Kapow! You are feeling empowered now that your planet, Mars the Warrior, is lined up with the brilliant Sun. However, you may try to impose your will on everyone around you due to your exuberance. Be aware that your energy level is exceedingly high today and others might not be as engaged as you are in life. Petty ego disputes can lead to unnecessary conflict which would be a total waste of this planetary boost; use this powerful momentum to push toward greater accomplishments, instead.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Unexpressed emotions are currently being stirred and confronting them may bring up old unresolved feelings of anger. You are usually down to earth and have a common-sense attitude toward life. But today you might be mixing up memories from your childhood with current circumstances, making it more difficult to manage the situation. Being aware of the differences between then and now can free you from repeating old patterns once again.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You are likely to share your thoughts on a regular basis — either verbally or in writing. Usually, you can say what you want and be done with it. But it may be more difficult now to separate your ideas and opinions from your identity. Unfortunately, you might end up being too aggressive in your own defense if you’re overly attached to your position. Moderate your extreme emotions by acknowledging that others also have valid thoughts to bring to the table. Listen more than you talk and everything will work out fine.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Sometimes it’s easier to express your annoyance by not saying anything at all. Crabs can retreat so far into their shell that no one on the outside can establish communication with them. This passive-aggressive tendency tempts you to withdraw from interpersonal interactions today. The problem with this strategy is that your anger doesn’t go away — in fact, it continues to hurt and eventually turns to resentment. Seek ways to gently express your feelings without going silent.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might feel irritable today and yet you can’t put your finger on the source of your malaise. There may be hidden issues cooking in the minds of your friends now, and it’s to your advantage to get them to talk about their secrets. However, others could misread your intent if you ask too many pointed questions. Ultimately, it’s your insecurity that could exacerbate the problem. Setting your ego aside and expressing your willingness to listen makes all the difference in the world.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

There’s some powerful energy coming your way today. However, the question is whether or not you can acknowledge it and put it to good use. If you are unable to ride the creative waves, you may take your frustration out on a friend by overstating your anger. However, if you find a way to integrate the intensity, you could come alive with amazing ideas. Be open to the potential of new ideas as your originality runs strong now. Draw your inspiration from the deepest wells in the most unexpected places.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your professional ambitions are riding high today. You are driven to accomplish more than normal now, yet this excessive behavior poses some danger. You may inadvertently create conflict with others in your quest to achieve your objectives. Remember that your happiness doesn’t have to come at the expense of anyone else. Even if your ego is telling you otherwise, there is plenty of room for multiple winners. The more the merrier when it comes to success.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today’s planetary patterns bring a mixture of messages. The good news is that your high energy level is off the charts now. You’re feeling invincible and think that you can do whatever needs to be done. Although you are outwardly optimistic, the bad news is that you might realize there’s something you forgot. Keep revisiting recent events to uncover the missing clue. Don’t give up … you can find it if you just believe.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

One of your ongoing concerns is how to drive yourself along toward your goals without pushing others too hard. If you act too forceful, you’ll feel the negative consequences as someone backs away from you. Your passion is hot right now — maybe even too hot. Use your moral compass to keep yourself in line. You don’t have to put out your internal fire … you just have to find a constructive outlet for your irrepressible energy.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you are experiencing any health problems these days, this is a smart time to think about what you can do to improve your physicality. Take responsibility for your own body, but don’t just rush off to another doctor looking for the latest amazing cure. Instead of trying to discover a magical fix, make changes in your diet and lifestyle that positively impact your well-being. Set yourself up for success by starting with small but significant improvements and build from there as you begin to see results.

Calendar of the Sun for November 29th

Calendar of the Sun

 

29 Blutmonath

Sekhmet’s Day

Color: Red
Element: Fire
Altar: Upon a red cloth set two torches, the figure of a lioness, and a clay pitcher of beer mixed with red fruit juice.
Offerings: Meat. Blood. Wrestle with the Beast Within.
Daily Meal: Beer. Meat from a hoofed animal. Barley.

Invocation to Sekhmet

Long, long ago, Ra Lord of the Sun
Was wroth with the people of the earth,
For their disrespect and their carelessness,
And his anger was so great
That he called forth into existence
The lioness goddess Sekhmet
As a manifestation of his wrath,
And he set her upon the people,
Intending her to eat a few of them
And teach them all a lesson.
And Sekhmet leaped upon them,
But she did not stop her destruction,
And after three days she had killed so many
That Ra begged her to stop, regretting his error,
But she refused, saying that there would be no end
To her appetite for blood and death.
So Ra had beer dyed red as blood, and spread it
Over the field of carnage, and she drank,
And fell asleep, and was enspelled.
And so we hail Sekhmet, for within each of us
Is the beast of wrath whom we must propitiate,
And never let run wild, lest it slay
All that we hold dear. Hail Sekhmet!
(All respond: “Hail Sekhmet!” )
Be merciful to us, we who cower
In your shadow, and feel your footprints within us.
(All respond: “Have mercy upon us!”
And may your hunting be plentiful,
And all your days bright with sun.
(All respond: “Hail Queen of the Desert Sun!” Then the red beer is poured as a libation, and the torches are carried outside, where they are left to burn out.)

Daily OM for November 26th – Lifting Pain’s Veil

Lifting Pain’s Veil

Bitterness

by Madisyn Taylor

 

Bitter feelings allow us to become perfect victims in that we no longer feel obliged to work toward healing.

 

It is natural to feel resentment or anger when life does not unfold as expected. We consciously or unconsciously anticipated one experience, and we grieve for the loss of it when the universe puts something else in our path. Most of the time, we work through these feelings and they pass. Occasionally, our anger and resentment do not fade and are instead transformed into bitterness. Bitter feelings allow us to become perfect victims in that we no longer feel obliged to work toward healing and choose instead to identify with our pain. Yet as unwholesome as bitterness can be, it is also a natural element of our emotional palette. When we acknowledge that it is okay to feel bitter, we reconnect with our hurt in a constructive way and can begin the process of working through it.

The nature of bitterness is rooted in the fact that the pain we feel provides us with a rationale. We may feel that we deserve to embrace our bitterness to its full extent. And to be bitter is, in essence, to cut ourselves off from all that is positive, hardening our hearts and vowing never to let go of our hurt. But just as bitter feelings can be self-defeating, so too can the release of bitterness be life-affirming in a way that few other emotional experiences are. When we decide that we no longer want to be bitter, we are reborn into a world filled with delight and fulfillment unlike any we knew while in the clutches of bitterness. The veil it cast over our lives is lifted, letting light and warmth touch our souls.

Divesting yourself of bitter feelings can be as simple as truly forgiving and moving on. Even when your bitterness has no concrete object, you can forgive situations too. Healing pain can be challenging but may be easier if you remind yourself that you are the only entity truly affected by your emotional state. In time, you will discover that letting go of your bitterness frees you to initiate the healing process and allows you to once again celebrate the possibility of the more wonderful life you deserve

Gather bones of chickens and dry them in the sun for a few
days. Then when you are ready to do this hex make sure you
are worked up into a frenzy of anger and hatred. This will
add to the potency of your hex! Be thinking of all this
while doing this hex and when it says “With these bones I
now do crush,” take a hammer or use your feet to stomp and
crush these bones as if they were your enemy before you!

will then want to sprinkle the dust and remains of the bones
on your enemy’s property around his house.

If you have a bell ring it 3 times and say…

I call upon the Ancient Ones from the great abyss to do my
bidding I invoke Cuthalu, God of Anger and the creatures of
the underworld hear me now…

Bones of anger, bones to dust
full of fury, revenge is just
I scatter these bones, these bones of rage
take thine enemy, bring him pain
I see thine enemy before me now
I bind him, crush him, bring him down
With these bones I now do crush
Make thine enemy turn to dust
torment, fire, out of control
With this hex I curse your soul

So mote it be!

Quiz of the Day – Are You Controlling?

Are You Controlling?

By Deepak Chopra

How much resistance are you in now? Our psychological defenses are extremely good at hiding this from us; by definition, stored-up emotions are the ones we can’t feel. However, resistance gives rise to a telltale behavior pattern—control. Having to be in control is a compulsion rooted in fear and threat.

Give yourself a point for each statement that applies to you frequently, most of the time, or almost always. Some of the statements do not sound very flattering, but try to be as candid and honest about yourself as you can.

1. I like to be in control of work situations and am much happier working alone than with others.
2. When I’m under pressure, the easiest emotion for me to show is anger or irritability.
3. I rarely tell anyone that I need them.
4. I tend to harbor old hurts. Rather than telling someone that he hurt me, I would rather fantasize about getting even.
5. I have quite a few resentments about the way my brothers and sisters relate to me.
6. The more money I spend on someone, the more that means I love them.
7. I keep to myself how unfairly others treat me.
8. If a relationship starts to go bad, I secretly wish I could take back everything I bought for that person.
9. If it’s my house, the people in it should follow my rules.
10. I find it hard to admit being vulnerable. I don’t often say “I’m wrong” and mean it.

11. It’s better to nurse my wounds than to show someone that I’m weak.
12. I’m a better talker than listener.
13. What I have to say is usually important.
14. I secretly think others don’t take my opinions as seriously as they should.
15. I have a pretty good sense of what’s good for people.
16. At least once in my life I got caught opening someone else’s mail.
17. People have called me cynical or negative.
18. I have high standards, which others sometimes mistake for criticism.
19. I tend to be a perfectionist. It bothers me to let a sloppy job go out.
20. I feel uncomfortable if someone gets too close to me emotionally.
21. After a relationship breaks up, I look back and think I was mostly right.
22. I’m neat and orderly. I like my way of doing things and find it hard to live with someone who is sloppy.
23. I’m good at scheduling my day and put a high value on punctuality.
24. I’m good at caring for other people’s needs, but then I get disappointed when they don’t think as much about mine.
25. I have a logical explanation for the way I act, even if others can’t always except it.
26. I don’t care that much if other people don’t like me.
27. In my opinion, most people don’t usually express their true motives for the way they behave.
28. I’m not good at handling noisy or rambunctious children.
29. I still blame my parents for a lot of my problems, but I haven’t told them so.
30. When I get into an argument with my spouse or lover, I can’t resist bringing up old grievances.

Next: What you score means

0-10 points

Your personality isn’t dominated by an excessive need to be in control. You are likely to be comfortable with your feelings and tolerant of other people. You realize that you are imperfect, therefore you understand the failings of others. It is easy for you to let events take their own course, and surprises don’t throw you off balance. You probably place a high value on spontaneity and the expression of emotions.

10-20 points

Being in control is a frequent issue with you. You have more fears and hurt feelings than you let on, but you don’t work hard to resolve these feelings. Being in charge isn’t necessarily that important to you, but having your way usually is. You consider yourself organized and efficient, yet it isn’t a major event if things get a little out of control. You have found someone whom you can be honest and open with, but there are limits to how much you can safely say or do, even with that person.

Over 20 points

You are a controlling person. You feel that control is necessary because people hurt your feelings a lot, and your memory of this goes back into your painful childhood. To keep from being hurt more, you try to control your feelings, which basically means you are very selective about revealing yourself to others. Your overriding need to be in charge or to have things your way drives people away from you, despite the fact that you work very hard to take care of their needs. The only emotion you show easily is anger or irritability. You constantly explain your motives and give reasons for why you are the way you are, but somehow this doesn’t help you get you what you want, which is other people’s love and affection.

Daily OM for August 24 – A Chance to Contribute

A Chance to Contribute

Disarming the Know-It-All

by Madisyn Taylor

People that are know-it-alls are simply stuck in a pattern and may actually have feelings of low self worth.

Most of us have encountered a person in our lives who can accurately be referred to as a know-it-all. This person seems to know everything about anything that gets brought up and tends to dominate the conversation. They don’t take well to being questioned, and they have a hard time ever admitting that they were wrong.

Being around a know-it-all is inevitably tiring because there is no shared energy between the two of you. Rather, you become an audience member to this person’s need to be the center of attention. Attention and respect are probably the two things this person most longs for, and at some point in their lives, they learned that knowing it all was the way to get those needs met. Over time, they have become stuck in this pattern, regardless of the fact that it is no longer working. They may feel afraid of the experience of listening, being receptive, or learning something new, because it’s so unfamiliar.

On the one hand, when we see the childlike need underneath the know-it-all’s mask of confidence, we feel compassion for the person, and we may tolerate their one-sided approach to conversation out of a desire not to hurt their feelings. On the other hand, we may be feeling drained and tempted to avoid this person altogether. In the middle of these two possible ways of feeling, we may actually like this person and wish for a closer relationship. If we come from a place of kindness, we might attempt to bridge the gap that this person’s habitual way of relating creates. Simply expressing a desire to be closer may open their heart, and give you a chance to ask for what you need in the relationship—a chance to contribute.

August 22 – Daily Feast

August 22 – Daily Feast

Every time we think we make a mental picture. The more we look at the picture on the motion picture screen of our minds, the more real it becomes. We forget that it is imaginary, but our emotions pick up on what the mind has seen and the image causes delight, or tears, or even anger. Our emotions manipulate us and cause us to do things we would never do under different circumstances. When we give in, these mental suggestions cause us pain, jealousy, and even anger. If our mental vision tells us we have been wronged, anger causes us to react foolishly. In such cases, we tend to go on the warpath, not for any commonsense reason, but because we fed ourselves the wrong mental pictures.

~ We do not take up the warpath without a just cause and honest purpose. ~

Please forgive me for running late……

Good Morning, dearest of friends! I must apologize for running late. My mouse died this morning on me. I had to drive 50 miles to get another one. That’s what I get for living in the boonies, lol! It’s not funny I know. I have done buried my mouse, I threw it in the garbage on the way out the door. Needless to say, I uttered some words that wasn’t very nice to give it a proper send off. If I had had time I would have blew it up with a firecracker. I’m not violent, I just hate to be inconvenienced, lol!

So now on with the show…..
