Your Daily Horoscopes for January 10th

We may be feeling a bit out of sync with our feelings today as the proud Leo Moon forms challenging aspects with rational Mercury and passionate Pluto. Even if we’re clear about our needs, it’s difficult to find the right words to say what we mean. But we’re not likely to quit, even if we realize achieving satisfaction might not be so easy. Nevertheless, keeping a positive attitude enables us to rise above nearly any setbacks we face now.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may grow bored unless you have an opportunity to do things your way today. The lively Leo Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Self-Expression encourages you to share what you’re feeling, even if it means shaking everything up a bit. However, actually setting your plan into motion could require more forethought than you want to invest. But don’t let that stop you; it’s your time to take a risk and be as creative as you feel. Original thinking helps you find the best way to make it happen.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You could be so caught up in your own thoughts today that you can miss an opportunity for fun that’s right in front of your nose. Don’t worry if you’re not motivated to work hard because indulging in pleasure might be exactly what you need now. As long as you don’t totally avoid your previous obligations, there’s nothing wrong with a quick escape to replenish your energy. After you have relaxed for a while, you should be much more amenable to returning to your responsibilities.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re motivated to make it appear like you’re enjoying yourself today because you’re trying to set an example for others to follow. You may think if your co-workers see you having a good time, they will want to join in. Unfortunately, this tactic isn’t the smartest strategy since your game playing could alienate the same people you want to attract. Just be straightforward from the start or you’ll end up being so clever that you outsmart yourself.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might be so stubborn when it comes to spending money today that you disagree with someone who thinks you should be more frugal. Although this conflict may not be worth an argument, you still need to be careful about denying your feelings. You could grow irritated if you bury your real needs and remain completely silent. Ultimately, it’s best to say what’s on your mind now. Even if you must compromise, you’ll be more optimistic about what’s ahead once you express yourself.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Even if you have a serious to-do list in front of you, you’re not necessarily in the mood to work today. The Moon’s visit to your dramatic sign makes it more difficult to hide your feelings, yet expressing them might not help your day run any smoother. Instead of setting a good example for others by being responsible, you’re tempted to evade your chores now. However, handling your obligations early in the day so you have time to play later settles your resistance before it grows into rebellion or resentment.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This can be an enjoyable day even if you don’t have a lot going on. The Leo Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Spirituality allows you to find great enjoyment, even from the simplest pleasures. There’s no need to go out of your way to make something special happen. Instead, just grab a bit of well-deserved rest and relaxation while you can. No fretting is required; your life will grow busy again soon enough.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Going out and seeking unusual experiences with your friends today sounds like a good idea. However, you might become so involved with a project at home that you reconsider your previous commitments. Finding a creative flow can be very satisfying, but think twice before you just cancel an engagement. Even if it’s a challenge to get moving now, you’ll be glad you did once you’re in motion.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Oftentimes you enjoy working behind the scenes, but the Leo Moon in your 10th House of Status encourages you to ask for the recognition you have earned. You may even be tempted to overdramatize your feelings to ensure that they are heard and acknowledged. Unfortunately, being too assertive today might actually produce results that are opposite to what you desire. Ironically, you won’t have to practice self-restraint once you realize that grandstanding is counterproductive.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your eagerness to let your imagination dream up future adventures may be stronger now than your ability to turn them into reality. However, you might discover that you don’t have to be so pragmatic to make your fantasies real. Lean on using your common sense by eliminating all but the most practical ideas. Then, allow plenty of time to develop your plans before you put them into motion. Mapping out your strategy in terms of weeks and months maximizes your chances for success.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are usually capable of working hard and waiting for personal satisfaction if your goals are clearly defined. However, you may feel very disappointed once you realize that you don’t have what you want today. Even if your most important needs are being fulfilled, you might still think that there’s something missing — yet you don’t know what it could be. Your ongoing frustration can get the best of you unless you truly believe that there’s no hurry to find the answer. Take your time; you have a few more weeks to sort it all out.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have to stand up for yourself today if others try to bully you into taking a different course of action. Don’t let someone get away with assuming power that wasn’t earned. If you see a friend or co-worker misusing authority, be brave and speak up. But don’t get hooked into believing that you have to prove anything. Simply getting the truth, as you see it, out into the open helps everyone involved.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You probably have plenty to accomplish today now that the Moon is visiting your 6th House of Work. Although your mind could meander off course, others can see through your attempts to make it look like you’re highly focused now. Don’t bother trying to hide the obvious; it will only take extra time and energy. Acknowledge the richness of your current fantasy life while still doing your best to cross tasks off your list one at a time.

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
You will spend most of the day attempting to tie knots in a piece of cord, using only your toes. You will be unable to say why, but this will seem like a useful skill to you, at the time.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
If you want someone to change, it’s often good to give them a painful option and a less painful option, and let them choose their own course. For example, “Do you want to pick up you own wet towel, dear, or would you like to have a live weasel stapled to your leg?”
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Oh go ahead. You know you want to. Besides, nobody is watching.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Watch out for vines, today. Sometime’s it’s hard to tell the difference between a vine and a creeper, until it’s too late.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Excellent day to study entomology — particularly the order hymenoptera. Be prepared to leap about, howling and whacking your trouser legs.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Between now and the vernal equinox, trust anyone with freckles. After that, trust no one.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Remember that silly song The Monster Mash? Beginning today, you will start sounding a lot like the lead singer in that song.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
You will decide to change your life by taking up fishing. Unlike the average person, however, you will be “strictly bass”. One must have standards, after all.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Excellent day to fill some pantyhose with popcorn and do the reindeer dance.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
You will find a biography of some famous dead person, at a garage sale, and buy it on a whim. It will change your life. You will also soon take up bricklaying, as a hobby.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
People will begin complimenting you on how clean you are. You will find this strangely irritating.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Good time to learn to play the harmonica. If you get one of those coat hanger thingies to hang around your neck, you can even play it while you’re typing!

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 10th

Every so often the universe decides to take a siesta and cease bombarding Earth and human souls with challenging alignments. Right now only a trio of minor lunar aspects – the Moon in Leo contra-parallel to Venus (8:54AM PST), the Moon moving 45-degrees to Mars (9:15AM PST) and the Moon forming an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Pluto (10:23AM PST) – has the capacity to throw you off course. It is more likely that you can continue to distribute the cosmic goodwill vibes that descended from divine planes of consciousness during Sunday night’s Full Moon. In addition, Leo Moon contains that built-in playful and child-like sensitivity. Take a break from the dog-eat-dog, hectic pace of life by visiting an art gallery, museum or national landmark. This is a good point in the Cosmic Calendar to let you know that Mars is slowing down with each passing day until it makes a station and turns retrograde in earthy Virgo on Monday January 23. [Mars in Virgo will remain in reverse until April 13.] Once Mars is retrograde, it is a good time to review and re-evaluate your desires, passions, and overall emotional demeanor. Working on issues like anger management and being too egocentric are appropriate during every Mars reversal (which happens approximately every two years). Between now and January 23, Mars remains in direct motion and you can keep moving ahead with many of your independent, assertive and dynamic enterprises – as long as you do so with some care, efficiency and organizing skills (some of the gifts that the sign Virgo provides to the red planet during its long stay in this sixth sign of the zodiac).

Ilithyia Invocation

Slim maiden with quick hands
That bring forth the life of others,
Daughter of Hera, child of marriage,
Daughter of Zeus, child of kingship,
Your hands reach forth
To every matron’s opening womb,
Bringing the new bride into the world of family,
Bringing the maiden into the time of mothering,
Bringing the tribe a new life.
Let us learn from you, maiden midwife!
For though we do sometimes find ourselves
Bringing new life into the world,
More often we kneel in your place,
As you kneel between the laboring woman’s thighs,
Watching the opening of the sacred door,
Kneeling in honor of the power of birth,
We find ourselves assisting in the birth
Of the others who struggle,
Who writhe and twist and despair of being done,
Who need out skilled hands, our urgent voices,
Our love and care and attention
That what must be birthed shall come to be.
Teach us, Ilithyia, of how to better hold the labor of another
In our waiting hands.

Chant:
From the dark of the womb we bring forth life
From the dark of the mind we bring forth light
From the dark of the dream we bring forth sight
From the dark of the Wheel we bring forth fate
From the dark of the night we bring forth day
From the dark of the heart we seek the way.

Inspirational Comments
Merry Meet, all my dear friends! I hope you are having a great day! I don’t know I am out of sorts. Yesterday felt like a Saturday all day. Now today feels like a Sunday. I always say the weekends don’t last long enough. Perhaps I am stuck in a time warp. But that sounds like something off of Star Trek, lol! I guess it is time for a reality check, huh? All I have to do is turn around and look at the TV. I know it has to be a weekday, my man is on TV. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry Springer, of course! I can’t help. It amazes me that people actually go on TV and air all of their dirty laundry. I believe if I ever saw the “Jerry Springer” show up on my caller ID, I would throw the phone. Then go jump my husband and ask him what the heck had he been up too, lol! The guests on the show always say, “well, I am on the Jerry Springer Show, I know it ain’t good news.” They know that but they still go. It is either curiosity to see what is the matter or they just want their 15 minutes of fame. And besides if they didn’t go on the show, I wouldn’t have anything to watch while I post, lmao! Have a great one, my luvs!

Spellcrafting for Tuesday

  

SPELL TO REFLECT NEGATIVITY

You will need your magic mirror or a consecrated small round mirror,
a wide-mouthed glass jar, ashes, vinegar, a knife or something else sharp like a razor blade or piece of broken glass, and an apple.

After sundown, set the jar before the mirror and place in it some ashes.
Fill it up about 2/3 of the way with vinegar. Take the apple and carve into it something that will represent the person or the negativity which follows or attacks you. Try and make it as clear as you can-while you carve, infuse the apple with all of the negativity you perceive around you. Raise the apple above the jar and say:

“Evil send must come to rest
Reflect it back to who knows best
Energy spent for evil and bane,
Go back now from whence you came
Far away I send you this hour
May all your attempts to harm turn sour!”

Place the apple in the jar-for best results do this spell for three consecutive nights.
