Daily Feng Shui News for March 28th – ‘Something on a Stick Day’

Today is ‘Something On A Stick Day’ and I thought I might share something positive and proactive with you. A powerful Feng Shui method called the ‘Six True Color Light Flags’ cure is believed to hold great power for healing and transformation. You will need six small sticks and six small squares of fabric in the following colors and sequence: white, red, yellow, green, blue and black. Make each flag a solid color. On the white flag write the word Om, while on the red flag write the word Ma. On the yellow flag write Ni and Pad on the green flag. On the blue flag write the word Me and Hum on the black flag. Bless your flags by repeating the words associated with each flag and then blow on it. Keep them together in that exact color sequence and place them in the ‘Wealth’ area of your home or office in order to attract health, happiness and prosperity.

Your Charm For March 28th is The Dorje

Your Charm For Today

The Dorje

Today’s Meaning:
You are at a physical peak–particularly from a sexual perspective. Enjoy the next few weeks, for they can be remarkable if you let them.

General Description:
In India and Tibet the Dorje or Thunderbolt of Jupiter, is a favorite and greatly valued talisman. It is worn to protect against magic, all spiritual evils and to bring abundance, fruitfulness, and riches. The Dorje is shaped much like a dumb bell with pointed ends, and is the symbol of power and indestructibility. It is supposed to overcome the Buddhist gods Ahi and Vrittra, the serpents, which the Buddhists believe swallow up the waters and cause drought, starvation and death; compelling the serpents to disgorge the waters, and to pour down the fertilizing showers.

Your Animal Spirit for Friday, March 28th is The Eagle

Your Animal Spirit for Friday, March 28th

Eagle

Eagle soars high enough to see the grand panorama of life, and yet has vision keen enough to spot a fish a mile away. How’s your vision? Are you seeing the big picture or are you only concentrating on the fish? Eagle is asking you to take a step back so you can once again see the whole. You’ve gotten so lost in the trees you’ve forgotten the forest.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for March 28th is The Sun

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Sun

The Sun is our Cosmic Nurturer. Life flourishes under its radiant beams. It provides the illumination to find Truths and lights one’s path so we do not get lost. To stand in the rays of The Sun is to shine. To absorb its energy promotes growth, exceptional physical and mental health, and good fortune. The Sun is empowering, elevating and fills those who bask in it with confidence and sense of self-worth. While The Sun certainly doesn’t promise a life’s path without some bumps in the road, The Sun indicates all will be well.

As a daily card, The Sun indicates a time when you should be at your zenith. At moments like this all should be very clear to you. Solutions to dilemmas that have confounded you will become obvious. The opportunity to take giant steps towards attaining your goals is upon you.

Your Tarot Card for Friday, March 28th is The Lovers

The Lovers

Friday, Mar 28th, 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although it has taken on a strictly romantic revision of meaning in some modern decks, traditionally the Lovers card of Tarot reflected the challenges of choosing a partner. At a crossroads, one cannot take both paths. The images on this card in different decks have varied more than most, because we have had so many ways of looking at sex and relationships across cultures and centuries.

Classically, the energy of this card reminded us of the real challenges posed by romantic relationships, with the protagonist often shown in the act of making an either-or choice. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.

Modern decks tend to portray the feeling of romantic love with this card, showing Adam and Eve at the gates of Eden when everything was still perfect. This interpretation portrays humanity before the Fall, and can be thought to imply a different sort of choice — the choice of evolution over perfection, or the choice of personal growth through relationship — instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, March 28th

Exploring our inner worlds empowers us today, but we still may feel as if we are bumping into walls. The psychic Pisces Moon joins messenger Mercury in a supportive alignment with mysterious Pluto, enabling us to communicate directly with our subconscious. However, taskmaster Saturn requires persistence to discover the magic hidden in the shadows. Our vivid imaginations allow us to gain access to information normally obscured from awareness.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It doesn’t seem fair if you have to address an unpleasant issue that you thought was already handled. Nevertheless, you can’t let go of your concern if someone abuses a position of power. You’re likely to fight for an underdog now, even if you have nothing personal to gain. If you attempt to turn the situation to your advantage today, your efforts might backfire and won’t accomplish anything positive. Thankfully, working for the benefit of all produces more fulfilling results.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You might want to speak up for someone at work today, but be careful about assuming that other people’s goals are in alignment with yours. The differences between you are not apparent at first glance, but start to grow obvious as you become more involved. Don’t take a position that you can’t personally support or you may have to back down and let your coworkers fend for themselves. Rallying to the defense of your peers is admirable as long as you know your limits.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Making a choice between taking care of your personal needs or handling a relationship issue at work is tricky business today. Your career objectives might be in a state of flux, making the dilemma even more complex. It’s difficult enough to decide what you want for yourself; adding others to the mix just increases your anxiety. Alleviate the pressure by giving yourself as much time as you need to reevaluate your current priorities. In the meantime, turning on the charm allows you to play both sides of the fence for a while longer.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may unwittingly be a part of a coworker’s power play today, yet your instincts could warn you of a potential problem before it fully manifests. Although you can prevent an unnecessary confrontation by sharing your feelings, you must communicate in a manner that avoids any accusatory words. Just casting light on someone’s secret agenda might be enough to turn the tables in the right direction. Let everyone know that you believe honesty is the best policy and see what happens next.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could be misunderstood today when something you say with the best of intentions is interpreted as a grab for power. But you’re not interested in usurping anyone else’s authority now; you just want things done the correct way and may believe it’s necessary to intervene before anything goes awry. Don’t be too authoritative in your approach; be patient and explain your motives as clearly as possible. Once you’ve spoken your piece, simply let events take their own course.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although a coworker or friend may seem unsure of the current dynamics in your relationship now, the confusion could be all yours. Perhaps you are seeking more clarity than is possible at this time. Ironically, your insistence on having more information might actually cause the other person to overcompensate by avoiding your questions. Don’t push so hard that you scare someone away with your intensity. Taking a kinder and gentler approach might actually lead to the closer connection you seek.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Pay attention to every word that is said today, even in a casual conversation, for there may be more at stake than is apparent at first. A simple discussion about the weather could reveal a crucial piece of information. Keep in mind that if you receive a significant message now, you’re not obligated to respond right away. Take the time to consider all your options before deciding what to do next.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your tone may be more intense than you think as interactive Mercury activates passionate Pluto today. However, you’re not interested in establishing common ground; you know what’s right and are willing to fight for it. Unfortunately, you could lose your advantage if you believe that your perspective is the only valid one. State your case without attempting to change anyone’s mind. Agreeing to disagree is healthier now than drawing battle lines that cannot be erased.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Instead of trying to persuade others to conform to your agenda today, attack scheduling problems the other way around. You may think it’s nearly impossible to change your calendar, but ultimately a simple modification could free up enough time to make your entire day flow smoother. Going out of your way to be flexible now might reward you with a golden opportunity that you otherwise would miss.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your words pack quite a punch today and you could come across as cold and calculating, even if you believe that you are acting out of kindness. You might not even be aware of how much power you wield as mental Mercury supports intense Pluto in your ambitious sign. Toning down your delivery may be enough to soften your impact. Don’t wait until it’s too late; practicing a little conscious compassion can go a long way to creating harmonious relationships

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It might feel like everything is taking longer than it should today and the faster you try to complete a project, the more there is to do. Don’t work yourself up into a nervous state, for your current deadlines are likely more flexible than you think. Before getting bent out of shape, explain your situation to those involved. Coming up with a practical game plan removes some of the pressure. Luckily, you can nip the problem in the bud by maintaining an open dialogue right from the start.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your emotions are very close to the surface today, making you more vulnerable in your own skin. You might employ uncharacteristic stoicism as a tactic now, denying your sensitivity and sidestepping the crucial issues. However, another strategy is to show up as you are and share your irrational side with the world. Once you realize that you don’t need to hide your feelings any longer, your inner strength will shine through for all to see.

Your Weekend Love Horoscope for March 28 – 30

Weekend Love Horoscope

March 28-30: Hot and Cold

What a crazy, confusing weekend for love this will be! The Moon in Pisces on Friday offers your best evening for romance and soul bonding with someone special, but it won’t last long. You’ll go from sweet and sentimental to fiery hot frustration by Saturday evening, when the Moon shifts into impatient Aries.

In addition, love planet Venus connects beautifully to Mars on Saturday, allowing an opportunity for incredible sexual gratification. You may think you’ve got yourself a weekend made for lovers — but not so fast!  Merely hours later, you may feel sorely rejected or disappointed. It’s as if the universe is playing tricks on you, teasing you and dangling a cupcake just out of your reach. You were allowed to taste the decadent passion for a few hours, but then Venus will square off with Saturn, and you’ll get a slap on the wrist for even thinking you could have that delicious treat!

Fortunately, the Moon in Aries becomes a New Moon on Sunday, and you’ll have an opportunity to chase after what you want in matters of the heart with renewed zeal. Nothing will stop you — not even the temporary freeze!

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 28th

Hold fast to your higher values and philosophy of life during today’s lunar tidal wave in Pisces — while the Moon unites with visionary Neptune (3:28AM), intellectual Mercury (5:21PM), and wounded-healer Chiron (5:49PM). Be a force for good in the world as the big chill attempts to frustrate business owners and budding entrepreneurs as the Sun makes a caustic, 135-degree tie with time-keeper Saturn (5:59AM). It doesn’t help that Mercury makes the same kind of frictional, 135-degree link with Ceres (6:22AM). What can jolt you — positively — out of this morning funkiness is one of two, monthly lunar trines to optimistic Jupiter (11:43AM). Stay as upbeat and convivial as possible during the second half of the day. Let your compassionate, empathic nature rise to the surface. Strut your stuff on the dance floor with an eager partner as the Moon in the twelfth sign of the zodiac can give you happy feet. A late-night conjunction of Mercury and Chiron (10:10PM) gives you a chance to play a mentor or shaman role with clients, associates or the world-at-large. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight 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 March 27th – Waning Crescent

Crescent Moon

(waning /7% of illumination)

This is a time to rest, reevaluate and reflect, pulling back into yourself to reconnect with inner sources of strength. Now is not a time to initiate anything new. It’s a phase suited to spending time with friends and getting in touch with the “big picture.” A window of opportunity exists for seeing your life objectively and becoming aware of what is important to you. At this point, what are your dreams and aspirations? What larger goals can you aspire to that will bring vitality and excitement into your life? This is a time for resting and gaining inner strength to prepare for a new cycle.

The Witch’s Magick for March 28th – Spell To Protect Magickal Objects from Prying Eyes

Celtic & British Isles Graphics
Spell To Protect Magickal Objects from Prying Eyes

Have a bowl of water, a bowl of salt, and one of those cheap misters you can get in the drugstore. Put candles in the four corners and light them.

Cast a circle and Call the Corners. Then Hold your hands over the bowls of water and salt, and allow your magic to flow through your arms onto the objects, surrounding them with protective light.  Say:

Protect from prying eyes
What only I can see
Protect from prying eyes
These magic things of me
Make a veil of mystic worth
Protect this magic (whatever your object is)’s hearth
Let our lines be blurred
Blended smudged and slurred
Only my eyes can see
The secrets which entrusted be
Then hold your hands over the water, and say:
I consecrate this water for protection
In the name of the Lady and the Lord
so mote it be!
 
 

Then hold your hands over the salt, and say:

I consecrate this water for protection
In the name of the Lady and the Lord
so mote it be!

Then put the water and salt into the mister and lightly mist your object(s) your personal
belongings are protected!

WOTC Extra – Book Blessing

Hearken as the Witch’s word
Calls the lady and the lord
Moon above and earth below
Sky’s cool blue and sun’s hot glow
In this right and ready hour
Fill these pages with thy power
May no unprepared eye to see
The secrets which trusted be
To I who walk the hidden road
To find the hearthstone’s calm abode
Guardians from the four directions
Hear me and lend thy protection
May these truths of Earth and skies
Shaded be from prying eyes
But to the witches whose map this be
May the way be plain to see
And through all the coming ages
May we find home in these pages
So mote it be!

 

Let’s Talk Witch – Magickal Books

Celtic & British Isles Graphics
Let’s Talk Witch – Magickal Books

There was a drastic increase in persecution and prosecutions for witchcraft, sorcery and paganism in late antiquity. Among the charges, besides astrology, divination, the making of love potions and the presentation of petitions at pagan shrines, was possession of magick books.

Books serve many purposes in magick beyond serving as a source for spells. The book may itself be a form of a spell, serving as an amulet. Certain books don’t have to be read; their very presence in the home provides protection from a host of ills. Besides the Bible and Koran, other books of this ilk include “The Book of Raziel, Book of Pow-Wow: The Long Lost Friend” and “The Russian Dreams of a Virgin.”

Books serve as magickal tools. Specific books are often used as sources of divination. These especially include the Bible, the Koran, Homeric verses, works of Virgil and your own Book of Shadows.

The Books of Psalms possesses an alter ego as a magickal book. Psalms are used to cast a host of spells for a variety of reasons. Many assume that this originated with Hoodoo, where recitation of psalms is a common practice, but this is based on the false assumption that the Hoodoo doctors were uneducated and thus must have “made stuff up.” If fact, it is quite the contrary-incorporation of psalms into magick stems back centuries. The practice was popular enough to stimulate publication of a medieval compilation of the uses to which psalms and their individual verse might be put. The Magical Use of the Psalms, a popular work of its time, was frequently reprinted in pocket-sized editions and was translated from Latin into several European languages. It was eventually placed on the Indes Librorum Prohibitorum of the Roman Catholic Church.

Similarly spells from the Islamic world may incorporate recitation of appropriate verses from the Koran.

Celebrating Spirituality 365 Days A Year – The Sacrifice of Tombs/St. Mark’s Eve

Celtic & British Isles Graphics

March 28th

The Sacrifice of Tombs/St. Mark’s Eve

According to the cosmological text, De Pascha Computus, written in 243 A.D., the sun and moon were created on Wednesday, March 28. This was also the date of the nativity of Jesus of Nazareth before it was changed by the Catholics at Rome, in 336 A.D., and again by the Orthodox at Constantinople 377 A.D.

March 28th was the date of the old Roman festival of The Sacrifice of Tombs, when the departed ancestors were remembered and honored, similar to present day. Catholic services in cemeteries on All Soul’s Day. This is also St. Mark’s Day, a time of divination, when the other world is a little more accessible than usual.

Friday belongs to Venus, and its energies are warm, sensuous, and fulfilling. Efforts that involve any type of pleasure, comfort, and luxury, as well as the arts, music, or aroma (incense and perfume) works well on this day. As Venus lends its sensuous influences to the energies of this day, use it for any magical work that deals with matters of the heart.
