Very little stands in your way of success right now. A Venus-Ceres 45-degree skirmish (6:49AM PST) and Moon-Neptune parallel (9:29AM PST) can bring in some consternation temporarily regarding your productivity in arts, crafts, hobbies and your fields of expertise, but these two alignments are not the primary sky patterns during this 24-hour time-period. The main event is the monthly Moon-Pallas union in Aquarius (12:13PM PST) that receives a gentle boost about an hour before-hand when the Moon forms a communication-enhancing and supportive, 60-degree alliance with Mercury (11:02AM PST). The Moon with Pallas is definitely a wonderful opportunity to energize your skills as a problem-solver, strategist and researcher. Pallas is also associated with engineering, city planning, software programming, needlepoint, weaving, the genetic code, DNA and the immune system. Learn more about herbs and health foods that help you build a strong defense against fatigue and illness. Mercury approaches a 60-degree rapport with Pallas overnight and this keeps the high-level, ingenious Pallas themes very prominent in the psychic atmosphere.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Better have that spot checked out by a doctor. Sure it may look benign, but sometimes those carpet stains can spread.
As Buckaroo Banzai said, “No matter where you go, there you are.” Oddly, this will not be entirely the case for you, today.
You will discover that you can wiggle your ears today, and will actually become quite good at it. People will invite you to parties.
You will get a notion to become a street food-vendor, and will make yourself a food serving cart for the “Bulghur Baron.” You will sell pint containers of hot bulghur wheat, cooked with sauteed onions, garlic, and other vegetables. To everyone’s amazement, you’ll succeed fabulously, eventually making millions off the franchise rights alone.
You will join the ranks of the hipster cognoscienti. It’ll be fun at first, but later you’ll start secretly craving casseroles, and it will eventually become such an intolerable pressure that you’ll abandon your pale, pierced friends with the clever haircuts and move to Minnesota.
Today you will wake up in somebody else’s body. The strangest thing about the transition will be that you’ll have all the memories from the new body, and none of your own from before. Despite that, you will be somehow quite certain that you’ve “traded down”.
While cracking your knuckles today, you will be a bit startled to hear a “ping” sound rather than a “pop”. That’s a bad habit, anyway.
You will spend a lot of time contemplating four-dimensional space. Unfortunately, you’ll keep getting distracted by things popping into non-existence around you.
An old man with bad teeth will whack you with his cane today, as you walk past. He’ll pretend it was an accident.
A haunting melody will float through the air this evening, with no apparent source. It will turn out that a renegade oboe player is hiding in the shrubbery.
You will realise soon that you’ve missed your true calling in life — that of a New Vaudevillian, a theatrical marvel of the Age of Cable. Starting as “Professor Snibble and the Yodelling Pigs!”, you’ll rapidly achieve notoriety, and (much later, with a different act) respectability.
In an attempt to simplify your life, you will discard all of your footwear. Later you will regret this, but will be too proud to admit it.
Tuesday, December 27th is a great day for……
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
………..2 Turtle Doves
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
……..A Partridge in a Pear Tree
Origin Of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”
The twelve days in the song are the twelve days starting Christmas Day, or in some traditions, the day after Christmas (December 26) (Boxing Day or St. Stephen’s Day, as being the feast day of St. Stephen Protomartyr) to the day before Epiphany, or the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6, or the Twelfth Day). Twelfth Night is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “the evening of the fifth of January, preceding Twelfth Day, the eve of the Epiphany, formerly the last day of the Christmas festivities and observed as a time of merrymaking.”
Although the specific origins of the chant are not known, it possibly began as a Twelfth Night “memories-and-forfeits” game, in which a leader recited a verse, each of the players repeated the verse, the leader added another verse, and so on until one of the players made a mistake, with the player who erred having to pay a penalty, such as offering up a kiss or a sweet. This is how the game is offered up in its earliest known printed version, in the children’s book Mirth without Mischief (c. 1780) published in England, which 100 years later Lady Gomme, a collector of folktales and rhymes, described playing every Twelfth Day night before eating mince pies and twelfth cake.[2]
The song apparently is older than the printed version, though it is not known how much older. Textual evidence indicates that the song was not English in origin, but French, though it is considered an English carol. Three French versions of the song are known. If the “partridge in a pear tree” of the English version is to be taken literally, then it seems as if the chant comes from France, since the red-legged (or French) partridge, which perches in trees more frequently than the native common (or grey) partridge, was not successfully introduced into England until about 1770.
The song was imported to the United States in 1910 by Emily Brown, of the Downer Teacher’s College in Milwaukee, WI, who had encountered the song in an English music store sometime before. She needed the song for the school Christmas pageant, an annual extravaganza that she was known for organizing
Good Tuesday Morning/Afternoon to you, dearies!
Good Tuesday to you all! I hope everyone is having a great day. I know it is back to work. But there is a good news this week, it is a short work week. I am sure you have already figured that out, lol! I thought about doing something just for the fun of it but I didn’t know how you might react. You remember yesterday, I mentioned in one of my posts that the Twelve Days of Christmas started. Well I thought about take each day and tracking down a photo of that day’s gift and posting it. Then the next day take the previous day’s gift and add to it with the next day’s gift. I was just curious to see what a massive amount of gifts this person gave to his true love. I hope you don’t mind but after thinking about it, I think I will do it. I am sure after I start it your curiosity will get the best of you too. I have never been able to imagine that many gift and it is something I have always wanted to do. Who knows I might not be able to find twelve drummers drumming, lol! First, I got o track down the song, that is one I never learned in school. Anyway you know what I am up to now, on with the Magick……

Spellcrafting for Tuesday
A CHARM TO BREAK A TROUBLESOME HABIT
You must take a white egg, and through small holes made in each end, blow forth the contents from the shell. Plug up one end with a little softened beeswax, then fill the shell, using a fine funnel, with sour red wine. Carefully seal the second hole with more wax, and in red ink write upon the surface of the shell the name of that plaguing compulsion you would be rid of.
Take this egg in secret to a place where great rocks cover the ground. Stand there and say these words:
“Hall of blood where life has fledWalls of bone that close me round
I break thy reign, thy yoke I shed
I cast thy powers to the ground.”
Hurl the egg against a rock so that it shall burst into fragments and the contents be spilt upon the earth. Then gather up the broken bits of shell, take them home, and grind them into a powder in a mortar. This charmed dust should be kept within a small jar, a pinch of it to be placed on the tongue and swallowed whenever further treacherous temptations may appear.
