You may have a tendency to be a bit hard-headed and stubborn today; caution yourself against engaging in domestic squabbles. You have all the self confidence you need at your disposal. Much to your delight, others won’t hesitate to show you their support.
About the Number 1
Theme: Masculine, Creative, Independent, Aggressive
Astro Association: Mercury
Tarot Association: MagicianThe Hierophant
This Tarot Deck: Esoterico
Because monasteries were the only places a person could learn to read and write in the middle ages, a Hierophant was one to whom a student would petition for entry. He was the one to set the curriculum for the neophyte’s course of study.
Often pictured with the right hand raised in blessing, the Hierophant is linked with the ancient lineage of Melchezidek, initiator of the Hebrew priestly tradition, the one who passes on the teachings. All shamans of any tradition draw upon this archetype.
You believe that you can justify almost anything you want to do today; however, your logic might not seem all that rational to someone else. Even if your motives are admirable, your impulsive behavior may not go over well with others. Be careful of your overconfidence leading you to do something you will later regret. Keep in mind that it’s wiser to heed the cautionary advice that you’re given now, even if it temporarily puts a crimp in your style.
You might have wonderful ideas today, but could lack a clear plan that helps you reach your goals. Although your footing can be shaky now, your sense of urgency motivates you to reach for the stars anyway. Unfortunately, this may not be the best time to start a project, yet you can’t wait for some magical moment to arrive when everything is perfect. If you encounter delays along the way, remember that they are not valid reasons to give up hope and walk away.
Your quick wit often helps you smooth over sketchy situations, but you may not be satisfied with this evasive strategy now. You’re not interested in hiding your feelings any longer, but facing serious underlying issues isn’t as much fun as delivering the next clever comeback. Don’t worry about stepping into unfamiliar territory; your friends and family will jump in to help when they realize that you are attempting to keep it real.
Today’s inspirational Full Moon Eclipse rattles your 6th House of Details, turning your attention to all the loose ends that are still left untied. But being aware of what you need to do is not the same thing as doing it. Don’t try to complete everything now; there is no need to apologize for what remains temporarily unfinished. Handling your chores one at a time will help you to concentrate your efforts and accomplish as much as possible.
Although you may not want to admit it, your thoughts are a bit scattered today, challenging you to follow any one idea to its logical conclusion. Thankfully, the fiery Sagittarius Full Moon Eclipse activates your 5th House of Self-Expression, helping to free you from your own self-limiting beliefs. Just don’t get so carried away with all of the amazing possibilities that you turn a practical plan into an unrealistic dream.
You could get caught up in a struggle to balance quantity with quality today as the Full Moon Eclipse in boundless Sagittarius whets your appetite for adventure. Unfortunately, your newfound desires might be at odds with your usual preference to narrow your field of perception so you can focus your energy and be more efficient. Consider this eclipse as an opportunity to practice your powers of discrimination. Wrapping up your work early allows you to do something exciting later in the day.
This is an information-rich day with the Lunar Eclipse shaking up your 3rd House of Communication. You could even become caught up in a debate without knowing which side is right. Unfortunately, you may have a strong opinion that isn’t well thought out. Ironically, withdrawing from the discussion and seeking a quiet place may be your smartest strategy now. Contemplating your own thoughts is healthier than impulsively reacting to someone else’s ideas.
It’s easy to overestimate your cash flow with the optimistic Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse illuminating your 2nd House of Money today. On the other hand, you might be fully aware of your financial situation, yet still decide to take a dream vacation anyway. Either way, you could end up discouraged if your fiscal reality doesn’t measure up to your wishes. Nevertheless, fretting is a waste of time and energy; save your nickels and dimes, instead.
It’s not easy to contain your dreams as today’s Full Moon Eclipse occurs in your exuberant sign. But rather than going off on your own, you’re likely to tag along with a friend or partner when the Moon opposes chatty Mercury in your 7th House of Companions. Unfortunately, you can’t rely on others for advice now because they will probably encourage your scheme, even if it’s not very practical. Wait until the Moon enters realistic Capricorn tomorrow before embarking on your next big adventure.
You typically handle your responsibilities early in the day so you can relax later on. But you might feel so overwhelmed by the sheer number of items on your agenda now that you don’t know where to begin. Don’t despair; instead of starting on your list right away, take time to review your priorities. Once you decide what you’re going to do first, break down the job into manageable tasks. Successful small steps assure the steadiest progress.
The extravagant Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse in your social 11th house tempts you to say yes to every invitation you receive today. Although interacting with others sounds like fun, you may already be overcommitted. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to enjoy yourself if you’re supposed to be somewhere else. Don’t wait until your schedule is out of control; eliminate some of the extraneous activities before you’re in over your head. Ironically, you will have more fun if you have less to do.
Today’s indulgent Sagittarius Full Moon activates your 10th House of Career, tempting you to set unrealistic professional goals. But it quickly becomes obvious that you cannot live up to your own exaggerated expectations. Ultimately, this Lunar Eclipse can reveal your excesses and require you to restrain your enthusiasm. Gradually apply the brakes to maintain control of your energy before things go awry.

This lunation occurs in optimist but judgmental Sagittarius where the need for absolute answers can lead to philosophical fundamentalism. It is a Total Eclipse of the Moon, signaling the need to let go of past beliefs and prejudices. Emptying ourselves of old truths can feel like stepping into the void of ignorance, but what we gain by opening our minds to let outmoded concepts fall away invites in a greater range of awareness. Being wrong might feel embarrassing yet is often the first step to acquiring more knowledge.
Good Morning or Afternoon my lovely readers! How are all of you doing today? As you know and probably noticed I have been rather quite since my momma wildcat was found dead in the field. She had been shot and then the people brought her over here for me to find, well on our property. I am dealing with this rather well now. I am still trying to find where my hubby hide the gun cabinet key but life is good. He keeps telling me, “No way in hell are you getting that key now. You will go to the pen.” No, I won’t. Anyway we are having a battle over the key. I know he is right. But you know how we hate for men to know they are right!!!
I have to tell you something funny though, we found the little babies the momma left behind. There were three of the little devils and they are absolutely adorable. I found out something funny last night. I came in the house to get their food to feed them. Stinker was up on the table mad and jealous. So I took the time to love him and reassure him, he was the best cat on the planet. Well he had loved all over my hands and my arms. I didn’t think a thing about it. I went back outside and two of the babies thought I was their mother. They came running, meowing and looking for a tit. When I sit on the ground, I sit Indian style. These two little brats found my toes and they did everything they could to get milk out of them. Well I finally got them to bed. I came up the porch steps and at the back of the porch sit two of the big male wildcats. I came in the house to get their food and by the time I got back out there, they were eating the babies food. I reached for the one shotgun hubby will let me have (because it is filled with rock salt). I took it outside, aimed at their butts and let them have it. Rock salt won’t hurt them just stings like hell and scares them. They ran off. Well I had to come back outside and count the kids to make sure they were all right. When I did, I found two of them sitting on the steps. I noticed another tail under the car where I had been hiding their food. I thought this is strange. I went to check to see if this was the little runt that was missing. I got down on both knees and peeped under the car and looking back at me was the biggest skunk I had ever seen in my life. I screamed the skunk jumped up and hit its head and we both run. After I calmed down and got to thinking about how that skunk looked when he saw me, I started laughing. The poor fella, if he had sprayed me, he wouldn’t have been a poor fella. I thought about that also. What if he had sprayed me? Oh my goodness! I don’t even want to think about it. But this place has turned into wild kingdom. All I can say is, “Wish you where here!”
Rigidity in the hearts of men and women tends to breed a separateness that can only be thawed by a greater force: typically, some strong spiritual stirring. The thawing of cold hearts always improves conditions.
The first thing to dissolve is any internal rigidity that separates you from others. Try to work more closely with your mates, concentrating on common activities which evidence your integrity and native goodwill. Sudden, strong action in support of a greater good can lift the spirit, and lead toward new possibilities in many areas. Spiritual impulses — including a strong sense of justice — should be honored, and acted upon. They can provide the initial impulse to important and constructive change.
And if you should have any lingering business or partnerships which are inactive or not working, you might consider dissolving these as well.
You’re ambitious today, and this is good for business. You may engage in work planning, and be looked upon as a source of authority. On the personal front, healing in relationships is possible. You’re a person of influence today, and you may be the recipient of promising news. A lack of care for detail is something of which to be aware.
About the Number 8
Theme: Power, Responsibility, Good Judgment, Financial Rewards
Astro Association: LeoTarot Association: StrengthThe Emperor
This Tarot Deck: Dragon
The more enlightenment and cosmic perspective this energy brings, the better life is for all. The Emperor archetype masters the world of matter and physical manifestation. When you apply this card to your situation, acknowledge your potentials for mastery. Reinforce a sense of sovereignty within yourself, despite any self-limiting beliefs, habits or appearances to the contrary.
You may think that you’re going to cruise through the day, but that’s because you aren’t expecting the obstacles that might appear in your path today. Your intended playtime quickly shrinks because meeting your obligations takes longer than you expected. Unfortunately, having a great idea doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a workable plan. You need to initiate action to get things going now or you won’t be able to take some time off for fun later.
You have responsibilities that take precedence over everything else today, so don’t accept a new job unless you believe it to be very important. If you promise to do something simply because of social or family pressure, you’ll probably fail anyhow. However, if your heart is fully engaged, then things should fall into place, even if it’s a struggle at the beginning. Don’t even try to assess your progress for several weeks; concentrate on the long-term picture, instead.
Your focus is on relationships now that the Moon is visiting your 7th House of Partners. Although the farseeing Sagittarius Moon encourages you to set lofty goals, you might encounter someone who embodies the Sagittarius spirit of big thinking. But don’t get overly excited or you could inflate one another’s expectations so much that your dreams become impossible to reach. Sharing your enthusiasm is a great place to start as long as you also have a practical plan in mind.
Although the Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Employment doubles your workload, you may believe that you can finish everything in a very short period of time. Unfortunately, you are being very impractical with your optimistic assessment. Luckily, your amazing friends come to the rescue by offering to help. But leaning on them too much isn’t a good idea right now because they may not be as reliable as you wish. Nevertheless, some assistance is better than none at all.
Your friends may be moving too quickly for you today. It’s not that you are unable to keep up with them; it’s just that you are bored of engaging in clever conversations without any lasting meaning. Unfortunately, going along with the group can backfire when your level of frustration rises, prompting you to express exactly what you feel. Balancing your abrupt words with a little sensitivity is wise since you might not realize the power of your message.
Your high expectations are not a guarantee that anyone will deliver exactly what you want. It may even be your boss or someone in power that lets you down today. Although you are able to recognize the dynamics, it’s still challenging for you to let go of your preferences. Protect yourself from being disappointed by remembering that other people’s actions are beyond your control. However, you can always change your response.
A current relationship could become awkward today. It may be apparent that you each want something different and although you both talk about compromise, neither of you are in the mood to negotiate. Unfortunately, it’s tough to sustain a heart connection while you are disagreeing about basic values. Don’t waste your energy trying to resolve the current tension; you’ll only feel worse if you attempt to force a resolution now. Fortunately, a conflict will likely dissipate on its own in a few days.
You might be frustrated by someone’s behavior today. A loving friend is only trying to help, but chances are that everyone else’s solutions will be so far off target that assistance from others is more troublesome now than productive. You may be left feeling that no one truly understands what you need. Don’t try to justify your beliefs; just retreat enough to reclaim your center of gravity and then move on.
The Moon’s current visit to your sign might be overwhelming if you are flooded with emotional messages that contradict each other. You wish you could set aside logic, but it’s smart to resist the temptation to react to every single whim. Instead of being irrational, observe your changing moods until they reveal a larger story. Being patient with your process allows you to honor your feelings while also acting in a responsible manner.
The pursuit of love may be unsatisfying today if an unattainable goal leads you around like a carrot on a stick. You could waste precious time chasing an unreachable dream if you don’t pay attention to the bigger picture. Fortunately, you can redirect your focus toward more practical goals by consciously changing your priorities. Once you have decided on a sensible destination, your hard work will pave the road to success.
You want to socialize today as the Moon moves through your 11th House of Networking, but previous commitments may require so much energy that you don’t have enough time. Your quiet frustration could turn to anger, but there doesn’t seem to be an available outlet for your emotions now. In spite of your desire to be with others, a temporary retreat could be what’s needed to shift the current dynamics. You might not have the best plan, so be as flexible as possible and don’t try to control everything.
You Fish may feel as if you have been left high and dry today. Professional demands require logical long-term planning, yet your heart’s desires could get left out of the equation. There is a significant amount of activity in your life now, and your personal needs might have to be put on hold so you can manage the complexity of the present moment. This state of emotional suppression is temporary; give it a few days to see where this strategy leads before trying a new approach.
Opening the Gateways Simultaneously
After a suitable meditation time with the tattwas, when you feel you are ready, stand and face the north. Visualize the northern gate with the tattwa of earth carved upon it. The entry can be a golden gateway or a monolithic stone structure, or even a simple wooden gate. Stare into the tattwa until its aura begins to become visible, then shift your focus to the gateway. You should begin to see the fog lift, and the portal will be clear. It may look like a swirling vortex at first, but it will eventually take on a form that represents that element. Turn east and repeat the process. Continue with all four of the elements if you wish, or you may choose to open only one gateway at a time. If you wish, you may protect yourself with a personal bubble and enter into the realm of the elements. Be sure to ask that the gate remain open. Explore and commune as long as you like. When you are done, make sure to close each gateway by allowing your vision to blur as you look at it. The vortex should become active again, and the fog will settle.
Meditation to Meet Your Fire Guide
Create a simple altar with an orange cloth and a red candle. Use an amber- or wood-scented incense. Take several deep, cleansing breaths. Get comfortable. Focus on your breathing and close your eyes. Visualize the gateway to the elemental realm of fire. Make the gate as strong and elaborate as you wish. How does it open? Take several slow, deep breaths. See the gate open and walk through it. Everything is dark. Before you is a pathway illuminated with candles on each side. It is a broad, safe pathway. Begin to walk down it. Slowly stars become visible in the dark sky. Take a moment to appreciate the twinkling lights. Focus on the candle flames and note that no two candles are exactly alike. They dance in various colors on the tips of the candles. You feel warm, safe and happy. Focus on your breath. Further on down the path you see your elemental guide for the realm of fire. Approach him slowly and greet him warmly. Listen to what he has to say. When you have heard all you wish, thank him and then turn to go back up the path. As your approach the gateway you notice it is still open. Walk through it. Take several slow deep breaths and then open your eyes. Write down all you learned in your journal. Close your personal circle.
Meditation to Meet Your Water Guide
Create a simple altar with a bowl of water and floating blue candles. Use a rain-scented incense. You may keep a chalice filled with wine or a favorite herbal tea on the altar. Take several deep, cleansing breaths. Cast your personal circle. Close your eyes. Visualize the gateway to the elemental realm of water. What does it look like? How does it open? Focus on your breath. Keep your breathing deep, slow and steady. See the gate open, and walk through it. Amazingly, you find yourself walking across the bottom of the sea, yet you can still breathe easily, encased in your own personal bubble. The sand is firm under your feet. Around you are bright coral shells, starfish, sea horses, and dolphins. Schools of brightly colored fish swim by. Walk slowly toward the figure you see in the distance. Focus on your breath. You are calm, relaxed and happy. Greet your elemental guide for the realm of water, and listen to what he has to say. When you have heard all you wish, thank him. Begin to walk back toward the gateway. Stay focused on your breath as you take on last look at the beautiful world beneath the waves. Walk through the gateway and see it close. Take several deep breaths and then open your eyes slowly. Write down what you learned in your journal. Close your circle.
