Daily Feng Shui Tip for Aug. 12 – ‘IBM PC Day’

What better day than ‘IBM PC Day’ to talk about alternative ways of ensuring that your PC doesn’t crash? Feng Shui says that hanging a clear and faceted quartz crystal over the top of your computer will not only keep it running smoothly but will also make sure that you do the same. This philosophy says that doing so will also enhance your own clarity of mind and your decision-making processes. For full effect, hang the crystal with a red ribbon cut into multiple of nine inches in length. As you put this crystal into place, visualize all the facets inherent opening your mind to new dimensions of understanding while also seeing distractions and negative thoughts being swept away. This very basic but very powerful Feng Shui cure also promises to protect you from ailing Chi while encouraging you to have a brighter outlook for your future — and that of your precious PC too!

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for August 12 is 34: Great Vigor

34: Great Vigor

General Meaning: Congratulations! There is strength and vigor in this situation — like a ram who has knocked down a fence to free himself from captivity. This points to a time when a powerful force comes into its own and achieves influence.

When a leader finally comes into power, his or her personal strength usually has peaked. Great strength is required in climbing to the mountaintop, but once at the summit, the support of others is needed to maintain that lofty position. A shift in attitude becomes necessary. Raw strength must be tempered by wisdom; to maintain power, a strong leader must learn to give it away, to share it with others. Only then will his or her position be secure, for she will not only be the possessor of power, but the source of it as well.

If you find yourself in a high or strong position, it is especially important to act responsibly and react with care. Your personal power must not be allowed to degenerate into raw force that rides roughshod over everything in its path. A strong sense of responsibility to the collective good of all is the key to the successful exercise of strength. By following what we intuitively know to be for the greater good, we avoid reckless abuses of power that in the end undermine the source of our strength. Arrogance always contains the seeds of its own undoing.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, August 12

We may have so many things to do today that we don’t know where to begin. The fickle Gemini Moon makes it tricky to set priorities because we can change our minds at the drop of a hat. Fortunately, this lack of stability is counterbalanced by the Moon’s harmonious trine to the stabilizing Mars-Saturn conjunction that’s exact on Wednesday. Although Mars says go and Saturn says stop, the dualistic Gemini Moon enables us to do a little bit of both.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may have recently experienced a resurgence of creative energy, whether you made progress on an existing project or are fired up about a new one. However, today you could be torn between continuing your productivity and just taking time to enjoy the summer weekend. Indulging in pleasure is a great idea, but be sure to balance your play with something more practical, too.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Even if you wake up raring to go, you may lose steam during the day. You feel as if your energy level is high, encouraging you to say yes before you consider the whole picture in a realistic manner. Set clear boundaries to avoid running out of fuel before the day is over. Be conservative as you make your plans; doing less ensures you’ll have the necessary resources to finish what you start.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Don’t let anyone talk you out of doing what you want today. However, keep in mind that your antennae might pick up on more potential fun than you have time for now. Ultimately, you need to monitor your own behavior so you don’t overextend your energy. Ironically, acting in a responsible manner enables you to enjoy yourself and still complete your chores.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your feelings seem to go back and forth between hot and cold today. Although you are upbeat about the possibilities, reality sets in as you meet up with unavoidable obstacles. Taking care of your obligations outweighs other more exciting plans. Listen to the voice of reason; doing the right thing now will have a positive impact on the week ahead.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you’re often the life of the party, this weekend you might take things to a whole new level. You may be temporarily free from some of the more serious responsibilities that have kept you occupied these past few days. Go ahead and let your hair down, but don’t overdo the fun and games because you will need to be at your best for the busy week ahead.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s likely that you will become more involved within your own community today, possibly even in a leadership role. Although you might not have the inclination to take on additional obligations at this time, the Moon’s presence in your 10th House of Status prompts you to jump in and help others anyway. Everyone appreciates your willingness to come forward and lend a hand.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your fortune seems to be swinging back and forth today, like a pendulum. One moment everything appears rosy, yet a few minutes later you feel stuck. The optimism rises and falls, making you uncertain about your choices now. There’s no need to be self-critical; just keep your goals in sight and continue to do the best you can to achieve them. Observe your emotional variations without trying to stabilize the movement. Although it may take a few days, your feelings will settle down on their own.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might be reconsidering your life’s direction in a way that gives you a deeper perspective. Sometimes it’s challenging to think clearly when your emotions are stirred, but you have a chance today to be passionate while still being logical. Don’t try to make any long-term decisions now; just let your mind meander through the various scenarios and mull over all the possibilities.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

A friend’s scattered behavior may be distracting now as you unsuccessfully try to finish what you started. But others are not the real problem; your attention span is rather limited today and you might be eager to jump at the opportunity when someone suggests something fun to do. Even if you don’t complete everything you begin, staying focused long enough to make a bit of progress will bring you more satisfaction.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s time to improve your current exercise program or, at least, get off the couch and go for a walk. You’re thinking about options today you normally might ignore, and hopefully one of them is exactly what you need for inspiration. But making plans is not enough now; you must put your best ideas into action as soon as possible. The sooner you start, the better your chances are for success.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Creative activities are highlighted now, whether you are redecorating around the home, working on an artistic project or planning an adventure with kids. Since the Moon is traveling through your 5th House of Fun and Games, it’s also possible to channel your own inner child. Even if you feel young at heart, there’s still a serious tone to the day. Successfully balancing work and play is your current key to happiness.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s current visit to your 4th House of Security reminds you that it’s important to make time for contemplation. Write in your journal today or talk about your needs with a close friend or family member. An unusual mixture between self-reflection and a desire to connect with others may prompt emotional disclosure now, which can lead to increased intimacy. However, it’s your choice; you must be willing to take the risk and confide in someone you trust.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 12

The Moon Gemini continues some of its highly-favorable, celestial gymnastics this morning as the lunar orb unites with productivity-enhancing Ceres (1:17AM PDT) while making a second parallel to Jupiter (8:08AM PDT) — the previous Moon-Jupiter parallel only happening about 12 hours before. Keep thinking like a winner who has a self-confident vibration emanating from your primary, seven energy-chakras. The radiant Sun adds its emphatic luminescence to the morning’s proceedings via a supportive, 60-degree tie to the Moon (6:02AM PDT). However, life becomes a little more tricky and uneven several hours later when the red planet Mars picks on wounded-healing comet Chiron (11:25AM PDT) in a tense, 135-degree connection. Being too egocentric, aggressive or rash won’t win you any brownie points with dear ones. You also need to hurdle over any apparent obstacles to forward progress as the Moon trines Saturn (2:51PM PDT) — where this seemingly positive and discipline-building aspect also begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 1:29AM PDT tomorrow. Keep your primary partnerships flowing smoothly and empowered emotionally as Mars makes a subtle and yet still important, 30-degree link to Juno (4:59PM PDT). Card, board or word games top the charts tonight.

Current Phase of the Moon for August 12

Last Quarter Moon

(waning/32% illumination)

The time of reaping is at hand. There is a feeling of completion infused into the atmosphere during the Last Quarter Moon. The opportunity opens to recognize how far you’ve come in various parts of your life. This is not a good time for new beginnings, but rather a reflective period suited to evaluating how you have been using your time and what has been accomplished. Issues of authority may arise. This Moon phase supports taking responsibility for actively tying up the loose ends of projects that are already underway.

Magickal Thinking For Everyday Living – Finding Your Personal Goddess

Find Your Personal Goddess

For The Solitary Witch

If you walk your path alone, here is a ritual you can use to try and find the name of your personal Goddess. Of course, it can also be used by Witches who usually practice in a group; just pick a night when you will be by yourself instead of with your coven or circle. Since you are in search of the Goddess, the best night to do this ritual is on a Full Moon – outside, if you can manage it. But inside works too, if you can’t be out under the moonlight.

You will need: a quiet, dimly lit space (if you are outside, a bonfire is nice, but completely optional); rhythmic music (preferably without words) or a drum; a large white or silver candle to represent the Goddess ( a candle in a woman’s shape is nice, but any good-sized candle will do); a large bowl filled with pure water; a slip of blank paper or parchment; a pen; and a sage smudge stick or any purifying incense.

Prepare you space by setting the bowl on a level surface (the ground, an altar, or a low table). Place the candle behind the bowl and inscribe it with your name if you wish; if you have a magickal name, use that. If you are using prerecorded music, start it now. Place the slip of paper in front of the bowl along with the pen.

Light the sage or incense and waft it around the space and around yourself to clear and cleanse your energy. Then sit or stand in front of the bowl and light the candle. Breathe slowly and deeply, feeling the light of the Moon coming down from the sky and into your body. If you will be drumming, start now. As you drum or listen to the beat of the music, think about the thythm of your heart. Feel that rhythm expand to fill the area around you, just as it did whe you were in your mother’s womb. Then, you could feel her heartbeat, too. As you listen to the drum beats, hear the beating of the Great Mother’s heart surrounding you.

You may enter into a light trance state, or you may just be relaxed and tuned in to the energy around you; either one is fine. Go with the beat as long as you want, and send out your desire to learn the identity of your personal Goddess. Close your eyes and send that yearning out with all your heart, opening yourself to an answer.

When you are ready, open your eyes and look into the bowl. Can you see her? Do you see the form of a maiden, a mother, or a crone? Do you see birds or animals or symbols? You may even see her face or hear her name echoing in the music. If you need quiet now, turn off the music. Pick up the pen and paper and write down her name without thinking about it. You might be surprised what will come to you.

If you don’t get a clear answer right away, try putting the blank piece of paper under your pillow that night, with the intention of dreaming of her. In the morning, pull out the paper and write down whichever name pops into your mind first, while you are still half asleep. (Be sure to leave the pen by your bed.)

Don’t be discourage if the ritual doesn’t work. Perhaps the time isn’t right for you to know, or you are torn between two paths and the Goddess is waiting for you to make the choice that will lead to her.

Find Your Personal Goddess

For The Solitary Witch

By Deborah Blake

The Wicca Book of Days for August 12 – Aset Webenut

The Wicca Book of Days for August 12

Aset Webenut

The great Egyptian Goddess Isis (who was also known as Aset the Bright) was honored on August 12 thousands of years ago by means of a festival of lights called the Aset Webenut, or, in Greek, the Lychnapsia. The Lychnapsia commemorated Isis’s frantic search for the body of her husband Osiris, whom their brother Set had murdered and cast into the Nile, as she roamed the earth holding aloft a flaming torch in an attempt to see in the pitch darkness. Thus torchlight lit up the night as devotees re-enacted her search and a boat bearing her likeness was paraded through the streets.

The Allusive Ankh

Fill your home with candlelight tonight as you recall the story of Isis and Osiris. You may also wish to wear or carry an amulet in the form of an ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol of immortality that combines the oval that signifies Isis and the T-cross that represents Osiris.

Good Morning, Dear Friends! Here is Today’s Affirmation, Thought & Meditation Especially For You!

Today’s Affirmation for Sunday, August 12

“I resolve to speak and act with a pure mind. When I do, happiness follows as my shadow.”

Today’s Thought for Sunday, August 12

Do not assume that only those lives marked by grand achievements or spectacular heroics have value. An ordinary life, striving for virtue and wisdom, is an achievement in itself.

Today’s Meditation for Sunday, August 12

Listen for the Bells

According to myth Celtic shamans used sacred branches hung with silver bells to open doors between the material and spirit worlds. Close your eyes and imagine hearing the music of the silver bells. Approaching the sound you see a gateway formed by two blossoming trees. Passing through, you find yourself in another world. Ahead of you the guardian of the gateway is tending a cauldron over a fire. The guardian fills a chalice with liquid from the cauldron and hands it to you. The spicy drink replenishes your strength. The guardian tells you to return whenever you need to, reminding you to listen for the silver bells. You pass back through the gateway and open your eyes. You feel full of life and energy.
