The Abraxas, the curious divide Jeo, of Jehovah of the Gnostics, has a fowl’s head, signifying watchfulness and foresight; the shield, wisdom; whip, authority; two serpents, mystery, eternity, vitality. These rings were worn as talismans for protection against physical ills.

Badger
Badger is a ferocious opponent, unwilling to back down over any issue. Unfortunately, this unwavering stance leads some Badgers to their demise. If Badger has dug into your reading, he is asking whether you are fighting the right fight. Is this issue the hill you’re willing to die on, or are you fighting for no other reason than pure stubbornness? Think about it.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today
![]()
The Beacon
The Beacon symbolizes both guidance to safe harbors and a warning of dangerous waters. The Beacon is represented by a lighthouse atop jagged rocks with its powerful light cutting a path that leads to an adjacent entrance to a calm harbor on a stormy night. The Beacon suggest that if you look for it, there is a general path for you to follow to reach a place of peace and harmony. However, The Beacon itself sets upon rough ground, so you must still step carefully as you follow it to quiet waters.
As a daily card, The Beacon provides guidance away from conflict. It implies that the path to resolving differences is marked and visible to any who look for it. The Beacon also warns that while there is a way to quell strife, you still must move carefully towards a solution.

Daily Overview
Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, November 21st
Our moods change so often today that we might worry that we can’t keep up with the watery Cancer Moon. Crabs vigilantly watch the tides, since survival depends upon their ability to anticipate the ever-shifting currents. Similarly, we must learn to increase our sensitivity and rely on our intuition. Our emotions receive an uplifting boost later this evening when the Sun slips into inspirational Sagittarius and the Moon joins jolly Jupiter.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Even if intense concentration is required at work today, you still may be distracted by a lingering personal issue. Thankfully, you can be so skilled at hiding what’s really happening that your associates believe you’re doing an amazing job. Accept whatever praise you receive; you don’t have to blow your cover — and you probably deserve the accolades anyway.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You enjoy working out of sight today, as long as you can readjust your action plan a few times during the day. Usually, you’re not a great fan of change, but shifting gears is easy now as you respond to what’s happening. It’s not useful to act as if you have all the answers. Listen to what others are saying and take their wisdom to heart.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Bringing your accounts current might require more time than you have now as the Moon visits your 2nd House of Money. Fiscal change appears to be in the air, but the results of your actions may not come quickly enough for you. However, impatience won’t lead to success today. Do what’s right and wait for the consequences of your extra efforts to work their magic.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You can be so psychic now that you know what’s happening even if no one tells you. Today’s Moon in receptive Cancer extends your emotional antennae even deeper into other people’s lives. Watch your moods swing back and forth throughout the day, and try not to make any significant decisions that could alter the course of your life. Nevertheless, considering all possibilities might pay off as soon as tomorrow when your optimism returns
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your day is mixed with paradox because you know that you’re on the edge of something big. And although it’s exciting to think that there are no limits to your far-reaching ideas now, you might have to face an unexpected obstacle that could feel like a setback. Fortunately, a seemingly insignificant social event can send you in a direction that is very advantageous to your career. Combining business with pleasure isn’t always a wise idea, but today it may be just what the doctor ordered for your success.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You might choose to leave your personal worries behind by attending a social gathering today or participating in a team project. Either way, the Moon’s current visit to your 11th House of Community allows you to grow beyond your individual needs and to share your expertise with others. Don’t miss this opportunity to give something back to your peers. Fortunately, your positive attitude will be reflected back to you sooner than you think.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Although your friends might accuse you of playing the role of a mother hen at work today, your motives are purely altruistic. You want to share your love by taking care of others in the best way possible and the current Cancer Moon encourages you to express your emotions and nurture those around you. Pay close attention to subtle clues so you know when to back off or someone may get the idea that you’re just trying to control things, when you’re only trying to help
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Instead of letting personal issues overwhelm you now, blow off some excess energy by volunteering for a social cause. You can easily understand complex interpersonal dynamics so don’t be afraid to tell others exactly how you feel. Your perceptions are clear and your perspective is balanced while the Moon is moving through fellow water sign Cancer, so there’s no need to back down. Even if you make someone uncomfortable, honesty is almost always the best policy.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are often drawn to philosophical discussions and can usually talk about ideas and concepts with a deep passion. However, you are likely to be more interested in personal issues today as the Moon moves through your 8th House of Intimacy. There’s no need to shy away from your emotions, even if they make you uncomfortable at first. Go right to the very edge of the abyss, since your feelings could teach you plenty about life now.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
If someone tells you his or her sad story today, you don’t have to take immediate action and fix what’s wrong. Instead, just be receptive and listen with a sympathetic ear. Your mistaken belief that you have to be in charge and demonstrate your competence only brings dissatisfaction and frustration. Sometimes it’s not easy to sit quietly and hold a space in your heart for other people’s issues; nevertheless, it’s a good idea now to incorporate this compassionate practice into your life.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You’re done trying to please everyone else. Instead of playing the role of superhero, be smart, work quietly behind the scenes and stay out of trouble. You can emerge victorious if you are secure enough to allow others to take center stage and receive recognition for their accomplishments. Even if you played a supportive role in someone’s success, it may be time to let that go. Learning to love yourself is likely to bring opportunities from somewhere you do not expect.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You might not be very concerned about what others think of you today because you are acutely aware of what makes you happy now. Your clear perspective brings a new sense of emotional power. Nevertheless, you might not be overly eager to express your feelings out in the open. Go ahead and trust in the process; there is a direct correlation between showing your vulnerability and the amount of pleasure you experience later on.
Sagittarian Dreams – Bright possibilities emerge with the Sun in Sagittarius
Sagittarian Dreams
Bright possibilities emerge with the Sun in Sagittarius
The Sun shifts from deep-feeling Scorpio to farseeing Sagittarius on November 21, marking a turn away from the reflective side of emotions and toward a dynamic expression of our aspirations.
Scorpio is a glass-half-empty zodiac sign that tends to combine concerns from the past and pressures of the present to interpret life as a struggle. Sagittarius, on the other hand, is able to ignore yesterday — and in some cases even the present — to project hope forward to a more desirable future.
The likelihood for fulfillment grows
Transforming Scorpio-style fears into Sagittarian dreams doesn’t happen automatically, though. Even if the shifting cosmic tides start flowing in an optimistic direction, we’re as likely to get lost in them as we are to find the happiness that we seek. Yet when we do Scorpio’s work of diving into our desires, assessing our resources and establishing priorities, the likelihood of achieving fulfillment grows.
This is not a process of denying doubts and fears, but one of examining them, determining which, if any, are useful, and letting go of those that have outlived their usefulness. Eliminating these negatives seems like it should be easy, yet we often are so identified with our wounds that we resist releasing them and turning our lives in a new direction. So much of who we think we are is enmeshed in a sense of limits where even the most consciously desirable freedoms are often resisted.
Do your dreams have a chance of coming true?
Refusing to look forward and dive into the future is only one way we hold back the tides of change. Another way to ensure our lives stay the same is to invest in dreams that have little likelihood of turning into reality. The potential to get lost in clouds of illusion is common with the Sun in Sagittarius, especially this week, when it squares nebulous Neptune on Sunday. This is an indirect and usually unconscious way to undermine progress, because the reward for failing to advance is getting to stay where we are.
A secret to bringing Sagittarian visions down from the clouds is to use the concentrated powers of Scorpio. The focus and determination of the latter cuts through the promises of the former, tapping into the essence of our aspirations. Scorpio is not about what we like; it’s about what we absolutely need. When a dream goes from being a vague hope to a detailed picture of desire, it finds the soil in which it can take root. The obstacles that stand in the way of achieving our goals are broken down by the intense commitment and drive that’s at the heart of Scorpio.
Look back with courage and forward with faith
When we think about the future, we usually don’t want to look back. Yet when we use the model of the zodiac sign preceding the one that we’re in, we will often determine whether we advance, stay stuck or regress. The promises of Sagittarius grow from the depths of Scorpio, and it will draw sustenance from the hunger or struggle it represents.
This reminds us that there’s little value in drawing a line between positive and negative, as they are essential parts of one another. The alchemy of achievement is created when both the faith to look forward and the courage to look back are a stirred together in the pot of possibility.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, November 21st
With a major portion of today occurring with the Sun in the last degree of Scorpio, it is a good time to reflect on your gains and losses of the past four weeks. Have you excelled at exploring the depths of your consciousness in order to eliminate old fears and doubts that may be blocking the flow of your creative artistry? Are you more adept at tuning into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration to be an entrepreneur with clout and finesse? Steer clear of questionable investment offers as Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with often hazy Neptune (7:43AM). The Moon in Cancer continues a primary focus on healing old family wounds and pains. A big change happens at 7:49PM when the Sun leaves watery Scorpio for fiery Sagittarius. Don’t be too surprised if you feel a sense of relief that some of the recent tensions may be in the process of dissolving away. A happy-go-lucky disposition is the right frame of mind to have during the monthly lunar conjunction with providential Jupiter (8:00PM). Avoid overdoing a good thing a couple of hours later when the Sun makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Venus (10:17PM). Keep a low profile overnight and avoid the social scene as the Moon begins a void uncertainty zone at 11:12PM that lasts until 3:58PM tomorrow. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Current Moon Phase for Nov. 21 – Waning Gibbous
Gibbous Moon
(waning /74% illumination)
This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.
The Witch’s Magick Spell for Nov. 21 – Long Term Career Spell
Long Term Career Spell
On a piece of paper, write down all the obstacles you can think of that you are blocking your success. Include everything: the economy, specific people like your nasty boss, every circumstance, and every situation that opposes your success. Try to be as specific as possible.
Now for each obstacle on your list, get a black candle. And for each candle, carve one of the obstacles on your list onto the candle.
It’s best if you have an odd number of candles.
Anoint each candle with cinnamon oil.
Burn one candle each night, and scorch the edges of the paper a little bit each night. Do not burn your list completely until the final night and the final candle.
After you have burned your last black candle, take a gold or green candle. Gold and green are the colors of success. Choose a green candle if your main goal is to make more money, a gold one if it is to find a more satisfying career.
On a new piece of paper, list everything that you want in a job. Your dream job, if you will. Be specific as possible. As your green or gold success candle burns, burn this paper as well.
Focus and concentrate on manifesting your dream job. Now that you have eliminated all obstacles in your path with the black candles, it’s time to start focusing on attracting success.
Be patient, the answers will come to you and new opportunities will make themselves available.
Don’t be afraid of these opportunities. Recognize them for what they are—and go for it!
Celebrating Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Festival of Kukulcan
November 21
Festival of Kukulcan
It was on this day that the ancient Mayan people paid homage to the God Kukulcan. His name means “the feathered snake whose path is the water.” Later merged with Quetzalcoatl (Plumed Serpent) he was the great God of wisdom, wind and fertility—the inventor of agriculture and the calendar. He was identified with Venus as the morning star and portrayed as a feathered serpent and sometimes as a bearded man. The Mayan religion permeated all aspects of life. Their festivals were times of great celebration and focused on seasonal changes and agriculture. Generally their festivals included games, feasting, dancing and human sacrifice.

So Mote It Be
‘THINK on THESE THINGS’ for November 20th
‘THINK on THESE THINGS’
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler
How much voice do we really have in our own affairs? How free are we to speak out on the things we know and believe and want to say? How much voice do we have in public affairs?
How much goes unsaid because it may be bad for business, or it might make us look foolish? How often we should speak up but think it is none of our business? How quiet we are when someone’s unethical hand does wrong.
What is it that inhibits us? Our own fears. Fear of our own ignorance, fear of losing, fear of the bugaboos we know lurk somewhere, but just aren’t sure where.
Who are the people who are free of fears? They are the individuals who govern themselves in such a manner as to have thought out their own ideas enough to be able to speak freely for themselves.
Ethics would seem to be something to ignore if you wish to be successful in business. Many people strive harder today than at any other time to divide their lives so that being seen in church is good taste, and being unethical in business proves they are shrewd. Being successful isn’t nearly as important as proving that they’ve gotten that way by the clever undoing of their opposition.
There was a time when building a better mouse trap by the most efficient methods gave us satisfaction, but too often these days we are impressed because someone is smart. Not smart with intelligence, but smart with the cunning that goes along with the jungle code of getting before someone gets you.
The person who tries to get ahead by ethical methods, and by wanting only to provide something better than is already in existence, must also be equipped to withstand ridicule.
Frankly, the race of the tortoise and the hare is still on, and while the hare is tearing around showing off its ability to be a fast runner, the tortoise is making progress, and never losing its way.
Socrates, being asked the way to honest fame, said, “Study to be what you wish to seem.” Success takes time and moral discipline, but our successes will be as human beings first, and then the crown of success in business will sit easily and firmly.

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – November 20
“Money cannot buy affection.”
–Mangas Coloradas, APACHE
In these modern times we put too much emphasis on material things and on money. We believe that money is power. If we have money, people will respect us. If we have money, people will admire us. If we have money, we can have anything we want. Maybe we can purchase anything in the material world, but we cannot purchase anything in the Unseen World. The Unseen World is not for sale. It can only be given away. Love, affection, admiration, trust, respect, commitment — these must be earned or given away. If we use these things from the Unseen World, we are using real power.
My Creator, let me demonstrate Your power today. Let me be loving to all I meet.
November 20 – Daily Feast
November 20 – Daily Feast
Always take into account what your mind has in it. What of the world have you taken in and stored in all the little crevices and avenues of your mind and thinking? Guard your mind, for out of it comes what you think is possible for you. If you have stored defeat and rejection, those are the only things you have to draw on. Our voices record everything we say within our minds and hearts. Blessing or swear words, sarcasm or snappy cynicism, all are there, and all have a part in ruling life. This is the hardest part to sweep out and control, but it can be done – and it is better than storing trash.
~ Neither anger nor fury shall be found lodging in their minds. ~
IROQUOIS – CIRCA 1570
