Daily Feng Shui News for April 17 – ‘High Five Day’

On ‘High Five Day’ I’d like to share a powerful Feng Shui healing ritual that uses all five elements and their related colors to balance the Chi in your living space and to promote good health. First, you must clear your mind of all negative or unpleasant thoughts. Next you will acquire five objects — one black (water), one white (metal), one red (fire), one green (wood) and one yellow (earth). Place the yellow object in the center of your living area. Walk to the west of your space and place the white object there. Leave the black object in the north and place the green in the east. Finally, put the red object in the southern part of your space. By representing all of the Feng Shui elements you bring balance and harmony to all of your endeavors.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for April 17th is The Phoenix

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Phoenix

The mythical, endearing Phoenix has long been a symbol of rebirth, renewal, and coming full circle. Tired in both body and spirit the aged Phoenix combust into flames and from its ashes is reborn. The Phoenix does not indicate change so much as it does renewal and revitalization. It denotes the completion of a cycle and beginning anew.

As a daily card, The Phoenix suggest you are at a place where some aspects of your life have reached the end of a cycle. Your energies may be weakened from use and stretched over too many arenas to be as effective as they once were. As a result, now may be a good time for you to take a step back and allow yourself time to revitalize both your physical and spiritual self.

The cooking pot symbolizes nourishment and rejuvenation. Sooner or later, good comes to those who do good; joy comes to those who bring humor to others; opportunity comes to those who persist in their dreaming. Rejuvenation is a returning to innate desires — and a re-charging of batteries through the fulfillment of these wishes. This reading suggests nourishment and transformation for people of goodwill. Great good fortune and success are indicated for nourishing relationships.

Healthy, regular sustenance is important, as symbolized by the cooking pot, which provides nourishment to all. When a cycle of humanity reaches its peak, each person’s sustenance comes in the form of his or her deepest needs and highest aspirations.

Rejuvenation means that men and women of talent and insight are being properly nourished and valued. When a society or group is functioning properly, these people are supported, and encouraged to contribute to their best abilities. A fresh approach to old habits is indicated in a period of rejuvenation. Look for ways of putting new life in old forms. Only when great vitality is present can breakthroughs be achieved.

Your Tarot Card for Thursday, April 17th is The Lovers

The Lovers

Thursday, Apr 17th, 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.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow, Your Horoscopes for Friday, April 18th

We continue to float on the currents of love but emotions intensify today as sweet Venus shifts her connection from optimistic Jupiter to passionate Pluto. A lighthearted attraction may deepen as we grow aware of the price we must pay. Fortunately, the philosophical Sagittarius Moon enables us to maintain a healthy perspective by focusing our attention on the future. Remembering our long-term goals helps us get through these challenging times.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might not know what’s around the next corner, but you can see unexplored possibilities everywhere you look. Unfortunately, you don’t have enough time in the day to pursue every intriguing opportunity. Therefore, establishing priorities is the most crucial component to your happiness now. Luckily, the idea of slowing down and doing less sounds good to you today, making it easier to pare back your activities. Spreading yourself too thin could prevent you from finishing what you start. Choose quality over quantity for a change.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re not too eager to jump into something new today even if you’re feeling more confident about a recent decision. It isn’t that you’re worried about the uncertainties ahead; it’s just that you have a better chance of achieving success if you take your time now and proceed slowly. Remember, there’s no reason to stress out because of someone else’s arbitrary schedule. Set a pace that works for you and then stick to it.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

People seem to have unrealistic expectations about what you might accomplish today, and you aren’t interested in arguing with them. Nevertheless, you don’t want to make yourself crazy by working extra hard when you know you can’t meet an impossible deadline. Even if it is uncomfortable to address the real issue up front, everyone will feel relieved if you do. Don’t turn your disclosure into a major drama; simply be honest and clearly tell others what you know you can deliver. Revealing your vulnerability is scary, but it will serve you well in the long run.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You are often all too aware of your limitations, but may get so caught up in your eagerness to please today that you commit to more than you can possibly manage. Unfortunately, your good intentions aren’t enough to power you through the day, especially if you’re delayed by unforeseen obstacles. However, there’s no reason to sell yourself short. Don’t be too concerned about completing your tasks on time; it’s better to strive for perfection now than to sacrifice quality by rushing your work.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your roar may be a bit muted today but, thankfully, no one seems to notice but you. Your coworkers see your positive attitude and unwavering commitment in action and they believe that you’re rock solid even if that’s not how you actually feel. However, it’s not a smart strategy to talk about your insecurities now; there’s no point in exposing your weaknesses unless you have no choice. You can improve your chances for success by keeping your feelings private for a few more days while you concentrate on giving the best performance of your life.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have a clear picture of where you want to go now, but cannot find a direct route that gets you there quickly. All the roads before you appear more circuitous than you prefer. Fortunately, whatever path you pick will probably straighten out once you are on your way. The best strategy might be to just head off in the most sensible direction without worrying if you are making the right choice. There are many ways to reach your destination; just don’t forget to appreciate the scenery along the way.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your illusions intertwine with reality today, making it tricky to separate fact from fiction. Paradoxically, it might not matter which is which because your visions have the potential to become real if you believe in yourself. Putting too much faith in the analytical data sets up artificial limits that could end up preventing you from realizing your highest potential. Thankfully, a bit of magical thinking now can inspire you to manifest your dreams.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your emotions may settle down today, enabling you to concentrate on your backlog of work. But your newfound ability to remain objective doesn’t necessarily mean that production will be a piece of cake. You have to work extra hard for everything you want to accomplish now. Although setting your goals unrealistically high motivates you to reach for the stars, you could grow discouraged and give up too soon. Remember, dreams are wishes your heart makes, so don’t let the limiting thoughts of your head stand between you and success.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have the chance to catch up at work today if you roll up your sleeves and get busy. The Moon’s monthly visit to your optimistic sign can be revitalizing while she harmonizes with brilliant Uranus and energetic Mars. As long as you stay in motion, you should be fine. Don’t stop to think about what you’re doing; just continue to do it. Normally, logic is an essential tool for making decisions; however, it only clutters your path with confusion now. Instead of wasting time justifying your choices, simply remember that actions speak louder than words.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be struggling between two mindsets today. You can see the advantage of initiating decisive action based on your ambitious plans. Your organizational skills come to the rescue, enabling you to make substantial progress now. However, you also understand the risk of doing too much too fast. Nothing positive comes from erecting a house on an unstable foundation, so take your time and make sure you build it right.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your friends and associates are eager to give you extra words of encouragement today. But you still need to maintain a healthy perspective on what you can finish or you could quickly burn yourself out in the process. Although positive feedback from your allies feels great, it might fill you with so much confidence that you take on one too many challenges. Proceed with caution; if it’s a great idea, it will look even better tomorrow. In the meantime, let others know how much you appreciate their support.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your compassion is normally one of your greatest strengths, but it could actually get in the way of your productivity today. Although the Moon’s visit to your 10th House of Public Responsibility encourages you to nurture nearly everyone, this is an impossible task. Nevertheless, you might wear yourself out trying to help more people than you can. Creating healthy boundaries is a crucial step in your current efforts to positively impact those who need you the most. Keep in mind that there’s a fine line between being a saint and being a martyr.

Your Horoscopes for Thursday, April 17th

Thankfully, relief is on the way today. We may start the day in a rather serious mood as the profound Scorpio Moon runs into stern Saturn. Although the road is emotionally bumpy at first, we begin to see signs of hope since pleasurable Venus forms a smooth trine with buoyant Jupiter later this evening. Additionally, the Moon’s shift into inspirational Sagittarius at 5:43 pm EDT reveals clear blue skies and the beauty of the distant horizon.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be worried about the consequences of taking time off now because you believe that you shouldn’t receive the goodies without putting in the effort. So, instead of heading out to play with your friends, you’re probably working like a busy bee today. Although your conscientious attitude is admirable, it’s also important to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Make the most of your day by setting aside a bit of time to live in the present moment and have fun.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you might set out to be practical today, common sense quickly loses ground to the possibility of finding pleasure. Your desires are intense and satisfaction appears to be within reach now, so it’s difficult for anyone to talk you out of your pursuit of happiness. Happily, your key planet Venus is harmonizing with indulgent Jupiter this evening, indicating that there’s no reason to deny yourself a delightful experience. Stop questioning your luck and gratefully accept the blessings of the day.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You have a charmed day on your hands and you may not even be required to wave your magic wand or recite a secret incantation to make everything go your way. Ironically, you don’t have to work hard to have your wishes fulfilled; it might feel as if you won the lottery for no reason at all. So, let go of any lingering negativity and take the good fortune as it comes. Put off some of your chores until tomorrow. Go out and play while the planets are smiling in your direction.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s probably not your style to express everything you feel, but you still might find yourself stepping beyond your normal limits today. Even if you believe you’re being cautious, your need for an emotional escapade is heightened now — and you’re ready to stir up some excitement. Although the current opportunity for finding pleasure may be quite unexpected, there’s no time like the present to say yes. You’ll never know unless you try.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It may be nearly impossible for others to hold you back from having your fun today, and yet you might not be able to contain yourself either. The good news is that you have an excellent chance of finding the love, money or acceptance that you are currently seeking. The bad news is that whatever wonderful experiences come your way now, they probably won’t last. Don’t try to capture the magic; just follow your bliss and let your heart dance with joy.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Rewards for your creativity are closer than you realize, but you need to set clear priorities and pay attention to what’s most important. Luckily, an opportunity to enjoy yourself might be a part of your payoff. Even if you’re worried that your feelings are based on wishes rather than reality, you are still likely to go ahead and express them anyhow. This lack of inhibition isn’t your normal style, but you may feel certain that this is your chance to create a memorable experience. Jump right in; the water’s fine.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You feel like you’re rolling in a field of four-leaf clovers today because not much can go wrong when your key planet Venus forms an easy trine with auspicious Jupiter. It may not matter what’s specifically going on for you now because you can create something magical, even if you don’t have the best ingredients. However, if you overindulge your senses or overspend on unnecessary luxuries, you could wake up tomorrow regretting your lapse of good judgment. Fun is yours for the taking, but moderation is essential.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you might not be able to break free from previous obligations, you can still find ways to make the day more enjoyable than you expect. Even in the midst of a tough situation, your long-term opportunities are looking great. You must do whatever makes you feel good about yourself, for the rewards will follow if you do. Don’t be afraid to take a risk; expressing your heart’s desire now can move you closer to achieving it.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can see fabulous possibilities nearly everywhere you look today. Your positive attitude is capable of inspiring even those who are lost in the doldrums. It’s difficult for others to remain down in your presence while your key planet Jupiter harmonizes with beautiful Venus, casting a lovely glow onto most everything in your life. You may even be on the most wanted list now — not for punishment, but rather for fun and games. Enjoy the temporary notoriety while it lasts.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your optimism grows throughout the day, but you can be in danger of overextending yourself. Everything appears to be coming up roses, but it might not be as awesome as you think. You may have a quiet sense of self-satisfaction now that temporarily releases you from the stresses of your everyday life. Others appreciate your support and admire your ambitious nature. Nearly everyone wants to help you today and you would be wise to let them.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

All kinds of positive events are happening in your life now, yet they might not be apparent to anyone else. The real action is taking place deep within the recesses of your own subconscious mind — yet you can tell these changes are real. Be careful not to get so sidetracked by your current optimism that you fail to see potential trouble spots. Coworkers may share their plans for fun today and you’re ready to join them without a second thought. Remember, it’s all too easy to say yes, even if there are other things you should be doing first.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Even the stickiest of circumstances will smooth out today without too much effort on your part. A potential conflict that appears to be heading toward a showdown can be effectively averted with just a simple gesture of compromise. However, it’s not that all your problems are vanishing into thin air. More likely, the rain clouds are simply dissipating and you are reminded how delicious the sunshine feels. Enjoy your bliss while it lasts because your responsibilities will call you back to work soon enough.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, April 17th

Stay on target as an ambassador of goodwill since today is the second 24-hour time-span following Tuesday’s potent Full Moon. In addition, Juno in Aries opposite Ceres in Libra (12:08AM) represents a miniature version of the Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse that are still having ramifications throughout the kingdoms gracing our struggling planet. Yesterday’s burst of euphoria and happiness — under the aegis of a grand trine in water signs, composed of the Moon, Venus and Jupiter — may come to an early end at 12:10AM this morning during the monthly Moon-Saturn union in Scorpio. The Moon conjunct the beautiful ringed planet does have the capacity to energize wise business or professional aims. Plus, it offers you the opportunity to reflect on ways to be more successful via logic, pragmatism, and tuning into your executive management skills. However, this Moon-Saturn alliance also starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 2:45PM when upbeat, adventurous Sagittarius Moon enters the picture. The lunar alchemy every month when fixed-watery Scorpio transforms itself into mutable-fiery Sagittarius may be the most powerful Moon change in the 27.3-day lunar cycle through the zodiac. Today’s headline-grabbing celestial event is Venus trine Jupiter (6:20PM) — building a nurturing-comforting bridge between Pisces and Cancer. Love vibrations increase in frequency and golden opportunities arise for achievements in the realms of big business, literary, publishing, and educational pursuits. Let the good times roll tonight as fun, games, and athletic contests give you a notable boost. [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 April 17th – Waning Gibbous

Gibbous Moon

(waning /94% of Full)

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 Witches Magick for Thursday, April 17th – The Vexation Box Spell

Celtic & British Isles Graphics
The Witches Magick for Thursday, April 17th – The Vexation Box Spell

 

THE VEXATION BOX SPELL

This spell is for dealing with someone who is more of an annoyance than a threat, someone who really gets on your nerves or stresses you out by intruding in your life or violating your space. It is for someone you have already asked to stop but who persists in bothering you. It is not a spell to use on someone whose actions you object to within their own life or space.

You need:

A box
Herbs for protection
Two heads of garlic (or more, if you are using a big box or dealing with a group of people)
A photograph of the person, or their name written on a piece of paper

Put everything in the box. Cover the box and give it a good hard shake, mentally yelling at the person to modify the behavior that annoys you. Put the box away, in a drawer or up on a shelf. Take it out and give it a hard shake, yelling at them, every time they annoy you.

After the first week or so you should seldom need to shake the box. Throw the box away in a few months, when the garlic begins to spoil.

Let’s Talk Witch – Using Stones in Magickal Work

Celtic & British Isles Graphics

USING STONES IN MAGICAL WORK

 

Crystals and stones are gifts from nature and can be used to enhance your rituals and magic. They can become sacred, magical tools in their own right. When consecrating a circle, creating your sacred space or making a shrine, you may like to search out stones which can represent the elements, so here are a few suggestions:

Air

When looking for stones to represent air, you need to think of crystal-clear stones or yellowish tinged ones. A quartz crystal point can often be picked up quite cheaply and, of course, it does not matter if it is flawed because, with a little imagination, these flaws can often look like clouds. Quartz pebbles are often found on the seashore weathered by the water.

Fire

Stones to represent fire should be red or orange or sometimes black. Any stone which has the feeling of passion or fiery emotion will do very well – carnelian or red jasper work particularly well. Volcanic rocks, or other very hard ones, often signify fire since they are the outcome of fire from the earth.

Water

Blue or blue-green stones are good if you wish to represent water and if you are near the sea you might find a piece of salt or sandblasted glass which is ideal. Although glass is man-made, nature has done its work. White or greyish pebble stones actually found in water are also very useful whilst a piece of stone with seaweed attached is also good. Some agates are very pretty and can echo some wave patterns.

Earth

The colours for earth are green and brown, and many of the stones associated with earth are green as well. All stones are the product of earth so almost any stone will do, particularly if you have got to know it as we suggested above. Use it wisely and it will always repay you. Remember that you do not need polished stones for this – the more natural they are the better.

Spirit

Most clear crystals can be used to represent the fifth element of Aether, or spirit, as can the purple hued ones. Amethyst is particularly good as it is both a transmitter and a receiver of psychic and spiritual energy. Mostly, those stones which are capable of representing spirit will ‘speak’ to you and if you choose more than one you will have to use your intuition so that you choose the right one for your purpose.
