Month: August 2011

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, Aug. 13th

A quirky Aquarius Full Moon at 2:57 pm EDT sparks our awareness with ingenious solutions to an existing dilemma. The Moon opposes the heart-centered Leo Sun, reminding us that a bit of emotional distance can prevent over-personalizing a situation. But quick resolution may be elusive because the Sun, Moon and Venus all form anxious aspects with passionate Pluto. Although we can fix our problems in theory, our plans still may run into resistance.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You want to tell others your opinion today, even if you think that it will stir up resistance. You may not be concerned about what anyone else thinks now because you’re pretty certain that your perspective is the right one. Although your plan could work just fine, your words might sound more belligerent than you actually feel. Gain the support you seek by toning down your message and acknowledging the validity of an alternate approach.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your unwavering commitment to accomplish a task can prompt you to do things your own way at any cost, turning a positive attribute into a negative one. Your determination is admirable, but you can be so stubborn today that those closest to you wonder why you are sabotaging your own possible success. Unfortunately, your plan might be in jeopardy without the cooperation of your friends. Your blind optimism could prevent you from seeing things objectively, so be open to the advice others have to offer.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Maintaining an optimistic perspective about a current project is not easy now. You’re tempted to overinflate an idea which turns it into a less useful one. Today’s Aquarius Full Moon in your 9th House of Adventure inspires you to dream about the amazing possibilities ahead, rather than concentrating on the present moment. If you drift off into daydreams about the future, gently bring your thoughts back to the specific tasks at hand.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s Full Moon overwhelms your 8th House of Shared Resources with brilliant ideas, raising issues around jointly held possessions or investments. Someone’s appeal to your egalitarian principles can provoke enough guilt so you lessen your demands. However, it’s healthier for you to be an equal partner now, rather than being subservient in any way. Don’t just say yes to make another person feel better, because your self-esteem may suffer if you do.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today’s Full Moon illuminates your 7th House of Others, possibly reactivating an unresolved relationship issue. If you are experiencing difficulties in love, this lunation’s cool logic can offer a powerful opportunity to heal. Reframing a past relationship in a new light changes your perspective and frees you to be more fully alive in every moment.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The conceptual Aquarius Full Moon falls in your 6th House of Details, tempting you to lean on your analytical skills to solve a current problem. However, you may be so logical that you cannot feel the emotional warmth coming your way now. Although you think you’re listening carefully, you might not be able to pick up other people’s messages unless they come in on your exact frequency. Opening your mind to new channels of communication today can teach you a very important lesson.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your creativity may be erratic today with the Full Moon brightening your 5th House of Self-Expression, yet you could put on a brilliant performance if you don’t try to control the process. A smart strategy is to have a variety of things to keep you busy while you’re waiting for the muse to visit. Meanwhile, stay open to riding a creative wave if it comes along, but don’t be hard on yourself if nothing extraordinary happens.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s Full Moon stretches you between your personal and professional goals. Although you may feel as if something could suddenly give way, your determination to restore balance to your life should override any emotional upset, even if the stress seems overwhelming at first. But denying your feelings isn’t wise either, for they can lead you to an important lesson. In the meantime, focus on the present and reestablish your priorities.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This is a rather intense Full Moon because it opposes the dramatic Leo Sun in your 9th House of Philosophy, reactivating a familiar theme in your life. You are aware that your wanderlust makes it difficult to follow through on existing commitments. Although you might be frustrated by your current limitations, you can improve your life by simply acknowledging your adventurous desires while simultaneously managing the circumstances of your immediate environment. Be creative in everything you do.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your current financial condition could be rather unstable, for today’s unconventional Aquarius Full Moon stresses your 2nd House of Money. Maybe you discover that your cash on hand is less than you thought or, perhaps, your bills are greater than previously calculated. Either way, don’t try to avoid an issue that arises now, because handling it intelligently is much better than putting it off, even if you don’t have a final solution.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s Full Moon in your sign indicates that sweeping changes are necessary to get your life back on track. However, you won’t need to put too much effort into solidifying your plans because unexpected events will likely require you to adapt to other people’s schedules anyway. It takes courage to be flexible now instead of rigidly sticking to an old agenda that no longer works. Although this might be an exercise in cooperation, don’t lose yourself in the process.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You yearn for more meaning to your life because events at work continue to require an increasing amount of your attention. Your friends and colleagues may not even notice that you’re struggling as you reassess your goals, and it’s probably better to leave them out of your current dilemma. But this isn’t about escaping from your routine; it’s about developing a more spiritual approach to everything you do.

New Moon Report for August 13th – Full Moon in Aquarius

Full Moon in Aquarius

Saturday, August 13, 11:57 am PDT, 2:57 pm EDT

The Full Moon in Aquarius represents a time when we can step outside of ourselves to see a more global picture of reality. Its opposition to the Sun, Mercury and Venus in self-conscious Leo gives us the choice of falling into infantile patterns or recognizing that there are at least two sides to every story. This is an opportunity to express Leo’s heartfelt warmth without burning others with an overheated need to dominate, but rather to engage in shared experiences that honor the uniqueness of everyone.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Most people are aware that it’s supposed to be good luck to toss a pinch of salt over your left shoulder. Today you will discover that it’s even better luck to toss a carton of yogurt over your right shoulder.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Good day to bring an asparagus sandwich and a nice thermos of Cream-of-Meatloaf Soup for lunch.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
You will discover a bassoon player hiding in the shrubbery. That’s not something you should try to deal with yourself — call in the professionals.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You will be plagued by feelings of inadequacy, and will have a feeling of ennui mixed with malaise. But don’t let it get you down!
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Beware of turnips.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
In one of those amusing misunderstandings that often happen due to bad phone connections, you will show up to go on a hike with something unexpected. If you stop and think about it, you’ll realise that it isn’t that likely someone would say “It may be cold, so be sure to bring a goat.”
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Oh go ahead. You know you want to. Besides, nobody is watching.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Beware the toilet plunger of Doom.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
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.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Hmm. Hard to read this one. The carrot stopped right between “kidnapped and tortured” and “wins the lottery”. Probably a little of both, I’d guess.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Today you will be either snug as a bug in a rug, or smug as a thug on a drug. Hard to say for sure.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You’ll go out to dinner with a new person, soon. Remember the advice of my old Uncle Stonebender, though: “It’s fine if someone eats like a bird, as long as they don’t have kids.”

Oh brothers and sisters, It Is Indeed A Very Happy Saturday!

It is a very happy, happy Saturday! Or should I say a very enjoyable and pleasurable one. I am getting to see my favorite man today and all weekend long, yeah! Who is this hunk, why no other than Vin Diesel. That man has it all. I love all his movies and I have just got through watching “The Fast and The Furious” for the hundredth time. USA network is showing “Fast and Furious” all weekend long, so I am in fan heaven. Yes, you heard right, your favorite witch is a Vin Diesel fan. I remember the first time my daughter mentioned one of his movies. I can’t remember the one right off the bat but she was totally surprised when I said, “Oh yeah, Vin Diesel, he is hot!” She turned around and liked to have fallen out in the floor. “Momma, you know who he is?” I think my reply was, “Hell yes, I ain’t dead yet!”  She told me I shouldn’t make comments about men being hot. I asked her what the harm was.  My daughter quickly informed me that her Father never commented about women like that. I told her, he knows better (besides when I made the comment he wasn’t even in the room).  But he now knows I love Vin. Last night, when the movie started to come on, he got up and went to play on the computer. 

I was sitting here thinking about it, my hubby and Vin. I believe that is what first attracted me to my husband. He was very muscular and worked out everyday. I loved his arms. I don’t think I have ever mentioned he is twelve years older than me. I believe at times, he thinks he is getting old and I don’t look at him the same way I use too. But in my eyes, I still see the man I fell in love with so many years ago. He hasn’t changed a bit to me. We were talking the other day and I was curious. I know in my mind I still think and sometimes act like I am still a kid. But the important point I was trying to make and ask him, does his brain still feel like it is young? I know that might sound crazy but really have you ever stopped to think about it. Our bodies grow old but our young brains are trapped in them? It is not only my brain but also my eyes, I can look in the mirror and I don’t look like I have changed a bit. The same way with my husband. So what is it, our brain and eyes are playing tricks on us? Or our we seeing what we want or wish we could see? Given you anything to think about?

Lady A’s Spell Of The Day for 8/12: Breaking a Binding Spell

BREAKING A BINDING SPELL


Some binding spells can cause physical manifestations.
You feel as if invisible strands of hair or thin strings are wrapped around you.
You can’t see them but you can feel them and nothing you do can make that sensation stop.
Here is a way to dispel a binding.
Cut a bit of your own hair and set it in a small bowl.
Light 3 candles, 1 red, 1 white and 1 green. In a fire safe bowl or incense brazier, light a
piece of charcoal and add some myrrh, patchouli and sandalwood incense (powdered kind
not cone or stick). Take a sterile needle or pin and prick your right index finger.
Squeeze three drops of blood into the smoldering incense.
As you drop the hair onto the lit incense repeat these words:
With blood, candle and scent times three
No longer shall this binding be
Free to live and free to soar
Let me leave the house once more.
As I burn this hair, a part of me
Let my heart and soul be free!
And for those who doth cast despair
Binding me with sightless hair
I send to them this well-earned curse
Let their evil spell reverse!
Teach them mercy and love’s sweet gift
Once learned, this simple spell shall lift.
As is my will, so mote it be!
Let the incense burn out and scatter the ashes outside.
Lifting the binding spell should take care of the problem. Keep an eye on those around you.
Someone who wished you ill will start to experience the torment they put you through.
Once they understand that what they did was wrong, then the sensation will fade
and they will be back to normal.

“Think on These Things”

‘THINK on THESE THINGS’
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler

Before we can share with others, we must have something to share. And all of us do have something to give. Not material things, but we can share our peace and our love and our loyalty.

Before we can share with others, there must be others with whom to share. For if we are selfish and self-centered enough, we will never have to worry about sharing anything. We will be alone.

Before we can expect others to share with us, we must be capable of accepting. We must be worthy of others who desire to share with us; we must deserve their love.

Before the two of us can ever find anything in this world of mutual interest, we must have enough concern and enough love to feel a need within to produce something good enough to offer; not only to others, but to ourselves. If we have abused our own nature with thoughts of bitterness, harboring painful experiences, self-condemnation for little progress regardless of circumstances, then we have nothing to offer.

The French philosopher Achille Poincelot once said, “Some people think that all the world should share their misfortunes, though they do not share in the sufferings of anyone else.”

Elder’s Meditation of the Day August 12

Elder’s Meditation of the Day August 12

“With one mind we address our acknowledgment, respect, and gratefulness to all the sacred Cycle of Life. We, as humans, must remember to be humble and acknowledge the gifts we use so freely in our daily lives.”

–Audrey Shenandoah, ONONDAGA

The sacred Cycle of life – the baby, the youth, the adult, the Elder. Let us respect all directions, the four directions of the Grandfathers; let us respect their power. Let us remember we belong to the earth, the earth does not belong to us. Help us to be respectful to all the gifts You have given us.

Oh Great Spirit, help me this day to be humble. Let me not attack anything in deed or in my thoughts. Let my thoughts focus on the beauty You have created in all things.

August 12 – Daily Feast

August 12 – Daily Feast

 

Time and space mean nothing to friends. They find each other again and again, to share the things that are important – and a great many things that are ordinary, everyday events. Tsu na li I, friends or close ones, forgive us whether we deserve it or not. They know how easy it is to get off center. But they have high hopes for us – maybe even higher than we have for ourselves. We are at our best when someone chooses to be that kind of friend, to make allowances for our lapses of memory – for no other reason than precious, loyal friendship. It is a quiet, peaceful and dear relationship that never grows old and never ends. Being such a friend is a sweet and blessed responsibility.

~ The Great Spirit has smiled upon us and made us glad. ~

Daily Motivator for August 12 – Meaningful doing

Friday, August 12, 2011

Meaningful doing

Do you ever find that you are merely trying and not really doing? If so, you’re not being who you truly are.

You don’t have to try to authentically be yourself. And in being yourself is where you’ll be most effective.

There is no power, only conflict, in trying to be someone or something you’re not. Instead of fighting against yourself, use your energy to more fully be and express yourself.

What you experience as trying, is not really you. What you step forward and do, without hesitation, without excuses and with great enthusiasm, is where you’ll create the most meaningful value.

Trying wastes precious time that could be much more gainfully invested in doing. Trying means that the direction you’re headed is not the direction in which you’re committed to going.

Yes, by all means make the difficult, challenging, complicated and effective efforts. Go beyond the meaningless trying and fill your life with meaningful doing.

— Ralph Marston

Feng Shui Tip of the Day for August 12th – Use the Command Position

The “Command Position” simply means placing furniture so that you have a clear view of main doorway into a given space. Having a solid wall behind you for support and pushing the furniture to the side of the main ch’i pathway add to the effectiveness. This usually is diagonally across from the door. If you can’t rearrange furniture into the command position for one reason or another, place a mirror in such a way that you will be able to see the doorway in it’s reflection. If your having trouble sleeping, putting your bed in the command position could be the answer. Try it out!
