Today’s Tarot Card for May 18 is The Moon

Today’s Tarot Card for Everyone:

The Moon

This Tarot Deck: Universal Waite

General Meaning: What has traditionally been known as the Moon card refers to a deep state of sensitivity and imaginative impressionability, developed within a womb of deep relaxation. Here we dream and go into trance, have visions and receive insights, wash in and out with the psychic tides, and experience deep mystical and/or terrifying realities beyond our ordinary senses. The full moon and/or eclipse cycle charted by the Magi (as in some of the earliest Moon card images) exemplify this as a mechanism that Nature uses to expand consciousness.

The variants of the courtly lovers (representing skillful use of the sex force) or the man sleeping it off under the tree (use of drugs to alter consciousness) are also traditional avenues for tapping this primal force. Human interest in higher states propels us to the frontiers of consciousness, where we cannot always control what happens. The Moon card represents the ultimate test of a soul’s integrity, where the membrane between self and the Unknown is removed, and the drop of individuality reenters the Ocean of Being. What transpires next is between a soul and its Maker.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, May 18

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Today’s philosophical Sagittarius Moon widens our horizons and expands our visions beyond the normal boundaries. Fully opening our eyes allows us to see the world from a new perspective. However, we are tempted to resist inspirational ideas now as the Moon forms discomforting sesquisquares with Venus, Mercury and Mars in pragmatic Taurus. Fortunately, it’s possible to feel enthusiastic about the possibilities without needing to act on any them.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your impatience could get the best of you today. Even if you have important responsibilities to fulfill, you still might try to sidestep them so you have time for more pleasurable activities, too. Although you could feel invincible now, you probably won’t be able to escape unnoticed. Don’t be surprised if you are held accountable for any inconsiderate actions. As is often the case for you, thinking about the consequences before leaping into action is the smartest strategy.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s not productive to spend too much time questioning your values today, even if someone’s behavior makes you wonder about your own priorities. Nevertheless, your desires may not be as altruistic as someone else’s now. Keep in mind that everyone is different and comparing yourself to anyone else is a pointless exercise. What’s most important is simply being true to yourself.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The enthusiastic Sagittarius Moon is visiting your 7th House of Partners, indicating that others may encourage you to take on more than you want to handle. Fortunately, you can be revitalized by what you accomplish if you agree to participate in someone’s project. But you might already be busy today, and turning down an invitation could place you in an awkward position. Nevertheless, it’s better to be honest now than sorry later.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be rather surprised with your current willingness to get involved in someone’s plan now, especially if you need to relinquish control. It might even be a relief to be a passenger without having to also play the role of a back seat driver. It doesn’t matter what kind of activities you have on your calendar; the thought of doing something different today brings a smile to your face.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The upbeat Sagittarius Moon is traveling through your playful 5th house now, giving you the green light to kick up your heels and have fun. No matter how busy you are, make a little time today just for yourself. Get outside for a walk, schedule a massage, or do something creative that helps you to unwind. Take care of yourself and recharge your batteries. Today, it’s truly all about you.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Usually others rely on you to think critically and analyze the situation. But you may not be very logical now because you’re seeing the world through a very optimistic lens. Fortunately, your life could be in really good shape, but you still might be happier if you delay an important decision and simply enjoy yourself today. The Moon’s visit to your 4th House of Family suggests that you should take time to relax at home instead of making your imprint on the world. Even if there’s plenty of work to do, grab the chance to play for a while, instead.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your idea of making it through the day might not include keeping so busy that you cannot find a moment to relax. Unfortunately, you may not have time to slow down and enjoy yourself. Thankfully, your willingness to be flexible can be your secret weapon, allowing you to have fun while maintaining your hectic schedule. You can always do what you wish on another day.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be lost in your current exploration of grandiose ideas about what you want to accomplish now, but you won’t make much progress if you try to do too much. Your energy level is high, enabling you to respond to others quickly, but you can easily burn through your reserves faster than you expect. You might think that you’re like the Energizer Bunny, but it’s smarter to react slowly and steadily like the tortoise if you want to finish the race.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You cannot contain your excitement now that the Moon is back in your enthusiastic sign. You are already aware that you are dealing with some challenging issues, and this increases your desire to have some fun now, while you can. Don’t waste energy feeling guilty about being spontaneous and avoiding your responsibilities. If you’re not gone for too long, you can slip back and finish your chores before anyone realizes that you stepped away.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Playing down your confidence is one way of sneaking in below the radar today. If your co-workers are aware of your positive energy, they will likely expect even more from you. However, if they can’t see the glint in your eye, you could get away with some mischievous behavior. Your strategy may be sound, but your plan can backfire. You’ll have a better shot at having fun now by letting the good times roll instead of holding yourself back.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your friends are the source of inspiration today as they include you in their adventurous plans. Unfortunately, things get complicated when there are overlapping events because you can’t do two things simultaneously. Make choices early in the day to lessen the stress that will arise if you try to juggle too many activities. For now, less is still better than more.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s current visit to your 10th House of Public Responsibility can temporarily turn you into a mother hen as you realize how much others need your help. But you would be wise to carefully examine your motives, even if you think that your intentions are honorable. Your need to save another lost soul and cure the sick is admirable if you are driven by true compassion. But your assistance might not be as helpful as you think if you’re trying to prove to others how much you care.

the daily humorscopes for Wednesday, May 18

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
You will watch a lot of TV today. But that’s ok, if that’s really what you want.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You will narrowly avoid a collision on the sidewalk today, as a small giggling person runs past you, being hotly pursued by a weeping incoherent person waving a ham sandwich. Aside from that, a pretty typical day.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Someone nearby will make disgusting slurping sounds in your favorite restaurant. You’ll retaliate by glaring pointedly, and by eating your linguini with your fingers.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You will snidely snicker at someone today. That’s not going to make you many friends, you know. Instead, you should cheerfully chuckle.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You will send away for the pamphlet titled “The Manly Art Of Knitting”, today, but sadly, it will be out of print. You should check with a rare books merchant.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Your friend will betray you today, and will hide from you under office furniture. Hey, don’t ask me. I just see the future, I don’t explain it.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Due to a bump on the head today, you will lose all memory of what you did with your keys. Or at least, that always makes a dandy excuse.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
You will decide to go into the swimwear market, and will become famous by making things out of stainless steel.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
It’s ok to whistle while you work. Your co-workers will draw the line at yodelling while you work, however. They’re probably just jealous.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Excellent time to show the world that plaid and stripes do too mix. (Tip #12 of Arnold Pinknobble’s “How To Get Noticed.”)
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Today you will be “mooned” by a cat. Fortunately, you won’t notice.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You will be struck by an odd thought, today. Fortunately it will be only a glancing blow, and will do little actual damage.

Happy Wednesday my sweets!

Good Morning my sweets! I hope everyone is having a good day. I got up at 6:30 a.m., thanks to my husband. He wanted to know if I wanted to make the coffee or him (is that a hint or what?) He is still griping about me sleeping all day yesterday. He can’t understand what is wrong with me no matter how much I tell him or the doctor tells him. But anyway I got up and actually felt good for an hour or two. I cleaned the kitchen, even drug out the Swiffer, feed all the cats, feed the fish, clean the living room and then cleaned me up. I came in here to sit down and take my medicine and drink a cup of coffee. That’s when it hit me. I had one of those things the Doctor has been calling “shingles” just pop out pretty as you please. If you bend your hand, that is about the size of it. And this one is hurting like an SOB. I took my back medicine which includes a lot of pain killers. So I figure if the pain isn’t gone by my 2:00 dose, I am going to the hospital. I think the doctor doesn’t know what is the matter with me and she is going to kill me.

I didn’t know if I had been acting goofy with my postings or anything, if so I apologize and you know what is wrong. I am sick and I can’t seem to kick this. If you have an extra minute or two today, please remember me again in your prayers. I have said it a thousand times and I will say it again, when this group sets their mind to something………..GREAT THINGS HAPPEN!  If I should disappear before my posting is done, it is because the pain has got so great, I have had to go to the hospital. I found a gem that eased the pain but I can’t figure out how to get it to the spot it needs to be. I am going to start the postings. Please remember me in your prayers today.

Goddess Bless,

L. A.

Today’s Tarot Card for May 17 is The Sun

Today’s Tarot Card for Everyone:


The Sun



 


This Tarot Deck: Spiral


General Meaning: What has traditionally been known as the Sun card is about the self — who you are and how you cultivate your personality and character. The earth revolves around the sun to make up one year of a person’s life, a fact we celebrate on our birthday.

The Sun card could also be titled “Back to Eden.” The Sun’s radiance is where one’s original nature or unconditioned Being can be encountered in health and safety. The limitations of time and space are stripped away; the soul is refreshed and temporarily protected from the chaos outside the garden walls.

Under the light of the Sun, Life reclaims its primordial goodness, truth and beauty. If one person is shown on this card, it is usually signifying a human incarnation of the Divine. When two humans are shown, the image is portraying a resolution of the tension between opposites at all levels. It’s as if this card is saying “You can do no wrong — it’s all to the good!”

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 17

 

General Daily Horoscope

The emotional power of the Scorpio Full Moon at 7:08 am EDT hangs heavy as our complex needs are contrasted by the simplistic Taurus Sun that pulls us back to the basics. We want to experience emotional intensity, but the Moon’s shift into free-spirited Sagittarius at 1:22 pm squares Neptune to fire up a round of unrealistic fantasies. Although a Sun-Saturn alignment restricts our actions, the Moon-Uranus trine allows our thoughts to surprise us.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Following your desires can really get your adrenaline pumping, but things can become more complicated than you bargain for now. You must be cautious when expressing your needs today because it can be difficult to stop once you stir up some excitement. Although you can talk yourself into risky behavior, it might not be such a good idea. Believe it or not, sometimes your feelings should be kept to yourself.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be overcommitted in a relationship now, making you feel as if you won’t be able to deliver on what you promised. You are normally able to manage your time and resources without difficulty, but today you should be extra careful with your assumptions. You might not even notice that you have taken on too much until it’s too late to change your course. Nonetheless, you would still be wise to reconsider your plans and reset your goals once you realize that you made a mistake.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your daily regimen has a significant effect on your overall health, and today’s stress makes you stop and consider how to make things better. It’s not wise to turn your life upside down all at once. However, you can make a small improvement by doing something that builds your strength and rejuvenates you without making your day any more chaotic. Even a slight upgrade to your current exercise program or a minor modification to your diet could be sufficient to increase your feelings of well-being.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You could take a relationship too seriously now and try to transform a casual friendship into a full-blown romance. It seems as if it would be easier to lighten the emotional weight, but the Full Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance may mean that your feelings are beyond your conscious control. Don’t try to redirect what is in your heart; just let the currents carry you along for the ride. Remember, it’s prudent to observe your changing desires without impulsively acting on every one.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be misled by a close friend or family member who is very convincing today. It isn’t that you’re gullible, but you do tend to trust others if they appear to know what they are doing. Exercise extra caution by investigating more than usual before making any promises you’ll later regret. Withholding your strongest desires might be your best move until you can tell what’s really going on.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could have a really great idea today that sweeps you away with your own grandiose thinking. You might attempt to keep everything in a practical perspective, but your point of view is bent out of shape by your belief in your own story. Thankfully, you’re able to minimize any problems that arise from inflating a sensible strategy into an overextended one. Wait until next week to finalize your plans.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Today’s Full Moon in your 2nd House of Resources indicates that you might need to be extra careful about spending money on discretionary activities. You may agree to a purchase prior to thinking through the real costs. If you’re unsure of what to do, get advice from a trustworthy friend or a financial expert. Thankfully, involving someone else in your decision-making process will bring clarity as to whether or not you can really afford satisfying your desires now.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Full Moon in passionate Scorpio emphasizes the urgency of your feelings. It may seem as if time has run out, making you aware of how much work you have on your plate today. You might have to postpone your previously scheduled escape to finish a project that’s on a very tight schedule. You would be wise now to acknowledge your frustration and delay the fun, rather than turning a difficult deadline into an impossible one.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your schedule may be totally booked, yet you’re still able to turn your work into fun. However, it probably won’t unfold the way you planned it. Your temporary lack of judgment encourages you to get involved in one too many projects now. Ultimately, it’s less stressful for you and certainly more considerate of everyone else if you set sensible limits before making any more promises you can’t keep.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be overloaded with commitments because today’s Scorpio Full Moon illuminates your 11th House of Social Networking. You want to be more involved with others, even if you don’t have enough time for yourself. But avoiding your responsibilities won’t solve anything. Delaying the inevitable just makes you even more nervous. If possible, take a little time off for some play, but not at the expense of fulfilling your obligations.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You want others to acknowledge your wisdom by coming to you for advice, and you might even feel hurt if they ask someone else for help first. However, your motives may not be completely clear today. You could be more interested in being distracted from your own problems now than you are in solving anyone else’s predicaments. Fortunately, you can still be of assistance to those you love, no matter what your reasons are at this time.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Today’s Full Moon in your 9th House of Higher Education may indicate your need to make an important decision about going back to school. If you have been dreaming about furthering your studies, this is your chance to pursue something completely different from your current interests. Unfortunately, you must think about the unrealistic side of your dreams. But rather than setting your plans aside, try modifying them to align more closely with reality. Bringing your vision down to earth makes it simpler to manifest.

New Moon Report for May 17th – Full Moon in Scorpio

Full Moon in Scorpio

Tuesday, May 17, 4:08 am PDT, 7:08 am EDT

The hungry Scorpio Moon faces off with the contented Sun in Taurus, causing us to reconsider our goals and the effort required to fulfill them. The psychological depth of this lunar placement tunes us in to the deepest levels of our feelings. This connection is very helpful for those willing to explore an emotional underground where unconscious fears and desires are often buried. Awareness of what we’re missing can either motivate us to invest more to fulfill our needs or lead some to give up in despair. This Full Moon presents a stark contrast between safety and danger, pacification and passion, illuminating the underlying values that drive much of our behavior.

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for May 16th is 58:Joy

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for Everyone:

58: Joy

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Hexagram 58

General Meaning: A joy that is shared is symbolized by a group of friends playing, or a carefree young girl singing to herself while engaged in her work. Happiness is rising within, and spreading out into the world.

Joy arises through gentle means, but springs from a solid inner base. The power of pure joy should not be underestimated. The enjoyment of learning and discovery, for example, has let to great innovation and much material progress. Accordingly, that which brings the most joy into the world — love — is the source of life itself.

If happiness is supported by personal stability, it will eventually wear down the stiffest barrier and win over the hardest heart. True joy is a beacon in the world, and though it is indeed rare, its presence is an indication of great good fortune, both now and in the future. How could it be otherwise?

Your Daily Number for May 16th: 1

Your Daily Number: 1

Exercise leadership today, and don’t hesitate to push your ideas and agenda forward. Others will look to you for direction. You’re also likely to meet someone new. Today is a day of progress if you don’t let fear get in the way.

Today’s Tarot Card for May 16 is The Star

Today’s Tarot Card for Everyone:

The Star

This Tarot Deck: Sacred Rose

General Meaning: What has traditionally been known as the Star card is about reconnecting one’s Soul with the Divine — the transcending of personality, family, community and reputation. It has to do ultimately with the freedom to be one’s Self. The Soul is responding to celestial influences — forces that can provide the personality with a stronger sense of purpose. The Star card helps us to remember our exalted origins and our attraction to a Higher Union.

This card could also be called the “Celestial Mandate” — that which refers us back to our reason for being, our mission in this lifetime. The Star reminds us that, in a sense, we are agents of Divine Will in our day-to-day lives. If we let go of the idea that we are supposed to be in control, we can more easily notice and appreciate the synchronicities that are nudging us along. In this way, we become more conscious of the invisible Helping Hand, and we better understand our place within — and value to — the larger Cosmos.
