Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of Monday, Oct 26th, 2015

General Horoscope
How much does your love relationship fill you up? How much does it truly sate you? This week your answer to this question will determine how enjoyable Tuesday’s Full Moon is. Falling in Taurus, it’ll be quite sensual — you can count on that. However, if you’re feeling insecure in your partnership, issues of lack may come up to present a problem. The good news? It’ll be easy to resolve. Then, the Sun will trine Neptune on Friday offering you extraordinary support to get everything you want in matters of the heart — or anything else. If you believe it, you can achieve it.

Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19
There’s incredible support if you’re ready to take a leap in your relationship and show your mate a side that you have been too insecure to reveal in the past. This might feel a lot like baring your soul — and it is. The good news is that your partner will only love you more for being brave enough to reveal a part of you that is deeper than you usually allow. Keep breaking down those barriers Aries — you’re doing great!

Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20
Your love life couldn’t possibly feel more gratifying than it does these days. A Full Moon in your sign on Tuesday will leave you more emotionally open than you have been in quite some time. Tell your lover exactly how you feel! Then, on Friday, you can expect your heart’s desire to come true when it comes to love and relationships. Your wish is the Universe’s command. Make it a good one!

Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20
Give yourself a time out from the chaos of life and go within. As you do so, you’ll decompress enough to consider exactly what you need in terms of romantic sustenance. Does your lover have what it takes to bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan? Is that really a deal breaker for you if he or she doesn’t? What about sex? Physical presence? The ability for your lover to feed your soul? All of these questions will be answered this week. If you dare to ask.

Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22
Your love and social life will truly be divine this week. On Tuesday, you’ll feel as if you can truly count on your circle of friends — through thick and thin. Then, on Friday, you might feel as if you’ve stepped into the most enchanting fairytale ever. A special date with your sweetheart or a new love interest will prove to be absolutely hypnotic. Enjoy the love spell!

Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22
You’ll be in the spotlight for a major achievement. Since all eyes will be on you, you’ll want to make sure that you can truly show off your partner as well. Fortunately, it’ll be easy to do. There will be little doubt in your mind that your partner is truly worthy of “arm candy” status. It might sound superficial but it’s actually deeper than it appears. Taking pride in your partner is a vital component of relationship for you. Honor it.

Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22
Communication with your partner will be divine this week. You’ll find it easy to share your dreams and know that they’re fully supported by your mate. In fact, you and your partner will likely inspire one another to go after a “pie in the sky” dream that each of you has. It’s wonderful to know that you’re with someone who is not only your greatest cheerleader, but also loves you unconditionally.

Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22
The physical, more material aspects of your relationship will take center stage this week. You’re not interested in only having fun with your lover. You want more. You want to be certain that the person you’re with is someone you can build a life with — one with lasting security. Don’t be ashamed of feeling this way — it’s a reality of life to need to pay your bills and put food on the table. You can’t live off of love alone.

Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21
A Full Moon in your relationship sector on Tuesday will allow you to see exactly what you have in terms of love and partnership. Thankfully, you’re more likely to feel genuinely content with your mate than anything else. On Friday, you’ll enjoy an off the charts romantic evening. If single, this is the perfect night for a first day with someone special. Expect to see stars!

Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21
The Moon in your partnership sector this Thursday and Friday will help you and your mate connect emotionally. If you have been stressed out over the duties and responsibilities of life you might have been putting your relationship on the back burner. Although you may feel as if you can always count on your mate, it’s not a reason to stop nurturing your relationship. Put some focus there this week — you’ll be glad you did.

Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19
This week you and your lover will feel determined to live life to the fullest. In your view, this has everything to do with indulging your senses — each and every one of them. You and your partner might spring for a couple’s massage — or even a couple’s spa day. You might also make a reservation at a five star restaurant to celebrate the special occasion that is your love for each other. Feeling frugal? Enjoy a fall picnic at the beach or at your favorite park instead.

Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18
The Moon in your romance sector on Thursday and Friday will provide ample opportunity to show your sentimental side to your sweetie. He or she might not always see this part of you since you’re typically more of the “think before you feel” kind of sign. Still, this week you’ll have ample opportunity to reveal your softer side. Don’t overthink it — just allow the emotions to flow!

Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20
Communicating from the heart will be important this week — and fortunately will be easy for you to accomplish. Tell your partner how much you need to feel a spiritual connection to him or her. Although it’s likely that your mate already knows this, it’s possible that the two of you have been paying more attention to practical matters lately. This week you’ll have an opportunity to balance the physical with the mystical — successfully.

Two Suns and a Super Moon in Taurus/Orion

Two Suns and a Super Moon in Taurus/Orion

The 11/11/8 Star Gate and Sacred Union Creative

So it has been a powerful time and the power energies just keep coming. Usually this can be explained in relation to the activities of the Sun and Solar Flares. But, in this case, there has been very little actual correlation, and so it seems indeed that there must be another explanation. There is! The powerful waves that we are feeling now are Galactic and Cosmic in origin, and although they include Solar activity, there is so much more going on. I wanted to share with you my understanding of some of these powerful forces that are driving our Transformation and Ascension right now.

I have called this piece “Two Suns and the Taurus/Orion Super Moon” because these are the Primary Galactic forces at work right now. Firstly, you may remember in August I wrote a piece explaining how the heliacal rising of Sirius at dawn in the sign of Leo created a time when the Earth in fact had two suns, Solaris, as I call our Sun, and Sirius, the powerful Blue Star. This alignment of the two Star systems, Solaris and Sirius, continues in the Heavens as they journey through the Golden Rose Galaxy (Milky Way) and interact with Planet Earth, the newly emerging Blue Star Planet.

This alignment becomes more and more intense until it culminates around the 11th of November on the 11/11, which this year will be an 11/11/8.

In holographic terms, this means that Sirius and the Sun/Solaris create a Vesica Pisces, or a Star Gate, which allows powerful Cosmic and Galactic Energies to be transmitted to the Earth which is in a birthing/rebirthing process. In terms of Sacred Geometry and the Sacred Union energies, the two Star Systems merge their energy fields creating a Portal for the exchange of energies and the creation of something new.

The Ancients who were taught the wisdom of the Sirian Star Nations knew this, and they encoded this wisdom in a set of “Keys” which are, ironically,  freely available today yet very little understood by those who have access to them. Yet, as we emerge into Higher Consciousness, we are reconnecting with the Ancient wisdom and beginning to understand the power of these keys in our Ascension process.

The Two Suns and the Taurus/Orion Super Moon

In this period of late October and leading into early November, we are still feeling the effects of the Lunar Eclipse and Equinox transitions, but we are moving at speed towards the 11/11/8. Many people are feeling a little flat as they integrate these powerful waves, but we are still heading into another and even more powerful. It is all focussed on that part of our Galactic “heaven” that contains Sirius and Orion.

So, in this week, October 21st and 22nd, we have just completed the Orionid meteor showers, which are the remnants of Halleys Comet paying a visit. It was spectacular and beautiful, but those of you who go back a bit may remember that Halley’s Comet played a big part in shifting consciousness and raising awareness back in the 1980s, just before Harmonic Convergence on August 16th and 17th in 1987, which was the Earth’s First Major Shift on the journey of Global Ascension. Halleys Comet always drops around when the Earth is ready for a big shift, and these meteorites that are showering down now are a Galactic reminder that we are in the Big Shift and that the original impetus of Harmonic Convergence is still moving us forward.

The Orionid Meteor Shower originates in the Constellation of Orion, near the star Betelgeuse. And, in this week two we will be experiencing the last of the Super Moon Full Moons, which will be in the Astrological house of Taurus, which is the closest neighbour of Orion. Another blast of Galactic power from the Orion/Sirius area of the Galaxy. This blast will be amplified by the magnetics of the Super Moon.

What is the importance of this? Well the Sun and Sirius are already in alignment creating a Star Portal. But, the Orion system is also a powerful Star Gate and Portal. It is well known that the three Pyramids of Giza are aligned with the three stars of Orions Belt. This reflects the Ancient Egyptian/Sirian Star Nation teaching that the Orion system was in fact a Cosmic Stargate that connected to other Galaxies in our local Universe.

So, are you starting to get a picture of the kind of powerful Cosmic energies that are lining up right now! Can you feel the openings in the Galactic Grids that are allowing us to connect with deep and powerful energies that we have not felt for a very long time as Humans. We needed to begin our Ascension at Harmonic Convergence in 1987 to reach this point where our Light Body and our Physical Body were crystalline enough to be able to receive these waves of Light and resonate or vibrate with them! This is a Wow moment, even if it feels maybe physically uncomfortable! Homo Luminosa receiving the Diamond Codes from the Great Central Sun or the Divine Cosmic Heart! The Orion Star Gate will be amplified at the Full Moon, as the Two Suns, Solaris and Sirius, continue their journey to the moment of Sacred Union when their Star Gate also opens and allows for incoming energies from the Great Central Sun.

So, as I understand it, the Orion gate allows us to access the Osiris Consciousness, which is the Ascension into Immortality and the ability to move between the veils. I am not suggesting that we all become immortal at the Full Moon, but rather that an understading of the possibilities and processes of Ascension will become more profound as we receive these Codes and Teachings from beyond our Solar System and connect with those who have guided our Transformation from beyond the stars. This is a powerful moment for the reception and transfer of energy and codes. “They”  are waiting to hear from us too, as we celebrate through Activation and Ceremony. Our Star Nations and our Home Stars are waiting for our progress reports, even as we await the transmission of new Light Codes to assist our process.

Sacred Union at the 11/11/8: Sirius, Solaris and Earth

On the 11th of November, Solaris and Sirius will be in perfect alignment for the creation of the Vescica Pisces, also known as the “Eye of Horus”, which is Creation Portal.

In Sacred Geometry when the two come together, they create an energetic overlap in which creation processes are originated and it is a very powerful moment. When Solaris and Sirius create this energetic overlap, they birth new Light Codes for Planet Earth that assist in the “rebirthing” or “ascension” process.

Sacred Union is one of the Key processes of the Ascension energies, both in the Cosmic/ Galactic frame and also in our personal lives. It is a Template that assists us to fully know ourselves and to understand that what is “above” is also “below” down here on Earth where we are receiving these powerful energies in our Bodies and Light Bodies.

The 11/11 is traditionally a “portal” where deep understandings of Cosmic Truth are gifted to Humanity. The 11/11/8 includes the number 8 which is associated with the 8 pointed Star of the Twin Flame Sacred Union, which also tells us that what will be coming through this portal of the 11/11/8 will be teachings and understandings of the Cosmic and Galactic nature of Sacred Union, and of our Ascension and Transformation Processes.

Your Weekly Karmic Forecast: October 25 – 31, 2015

Weekly Forecast: October 25 – 31, 2015

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.

*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.

Weekly Forecast: October 25 – 31, 2015

10/25 ~ Venus (values) ~conjunct~ Jupiter (truth):

This is an extremely powerful energy that makes you very mentally “present” to the fact that both your values and your truth are shifting. You can connect to material abundance. This is usually a pleasant shift because it is about expanding your sense of authentic beauty, as in nature, and the interrelatedness of all living things. There is an energy of enthusiasm around new or growing relationships which attracts more positive energy. This is the best time to create and “expect miracles”!

10/25 ~ Mercury (thoughts) ~oppose~ Uranus (radical shift):

This energy tends to make your mind work in over-drive. Not that you think too much, you will think and speak faster than usual, making others seem slow to you. However, when you are moving that fast, sometimes you can overlook something important. The negative expression of this energy tends to make you feel scattered and nervous, but the positive expression of it is understanding things faster, perceiving what is going on around you quicker, and connecting with your intuition on a level you normally cannot access. All the information that comes should be subject to a review in the near future because while it may be valid and useful, there will likely be some oversights due to the speed at which you connect with the information. You will be very impatient with normal routine. It is a good time to breathe and be flexible because ideas and information may come at you at a rapid speed. If you are impatient with this energy, you are more likely to make mistakes. Also, be aware of the need or tendency to be too blunt; sometimes we say things to shock people or just to get a reaction. If this is something you are prone to do, be prepared to back up all that you say eventually.

10/30 ~ Sun (authenticity) ~trine~ Neptune (intuition):

This energy triggers your idealistic side and provokes a desire to understand things on a deeper, more spiritual level. Try to use this energy to reflect on where you are and where you want to be, mentally, spiritually and physically. Take time to meditate and be still, quiet and alone. You may feel compelled to do things today that have no direct benefit for you; finding satisfaction in giving. Just be sure to ‘help those who help themselves’. Your intuition is heightened also, so pay attention to any ‘messages’ that come through to you.

Digging Deeper into Divination for Samhain – Scrying/Crystal Gazing

Mabon

Digging Deeper into Divination for Samhain – Scrying/Crystal Gazing

 

Halloween, the most sacred of the eight witches’ Sabbats, has long been regarded as the ideal time for engaging in all manner of psychic work. It is a mysterious night when witches throughout the world clairvoyantly peer into the past, the present and the future.

The traditional Halloween divination method favored by those who belong to the Craft is that of scrying (or gazing) into crystal balls, magick mirrors, and the flames of candles, cauldron fires, or outdoor bonfires. The term “scrying,” derived from the Old English word “descry,” means “to perceive from a distance; to discover by the eye.” The divinatory use of crystals is said to date back to circa 1,000 b.c. Undeniably, it is one of the oldest forms of divination that continue to be practiced in modern times.

The proper method of scrying a crystal ball is as follows: Before consulting the crystal, allow yourself to enter into a meditative state. Focus your mind on a particular question or issue, and then gaze into the surface of the crystal ball. (You will most likely find that the best results are achieved when your scrying is performed in a darkened room with the bright light of a full moon, the gentle glow of a candle’s flame, or some other light source that reflects off the crystal’s surface.) In time, a vision should form. It may be an entire scenario or simply one or more symbols that will require interpretation on your part.

It is common for many crystal gazers to experience the formation of “clouds” within or around the crystal ball. The colors of the clouds and the directions in which they move are said to be highly significant. Traditionally, clouds that move to the right are considered to be a sign that a benign guiding spirit is present; clouds that move to the left indicate that the spirit is unwilling or unable to offer guidance at the present time. Clouds that move in an upward direction indicate an affirmative answer to the scryer’s question, while a negative reply is shown by clouds that move in a downward direction.

 

Color Meanings of Clouds

White clouds are believed to be favorable omens.

Black ones are viewed as being unlucky.

Red clouds, depending upon the scryer’s personal interpretation, can either indicate a fiery, passionate love affair or serve as a warning of impending danger.

Green clouds, a color associated with money, generally indicate an increase in riches, unless the clouds are seen moving in a downward (negative) direction.

Yellow clouds are said to indicate betrayal.

Blue clouds are signs of peace and tranquility.

Violet clouds indicate spiritual strength, psychic growth, and enlightenment.

Sometimes a crystal ball’s clouds regardless of their color—will gradually or suddenly yield to a clear vision of a future, present, or past event.

The art of crystal gazing (which is technically known as “crystallomancy”) is one that requires a good deal of concentration and practice, and a novice scryer should not become discouraged if he or she does not achieve immediate results. As with any art, some people require more time to master the crystal ball, while others seem to be born with a natural flair for it.

Many crystal gazers ritually “recharge” their crystal balls once every month by placing them either on an outdoor altar or on a windowsill where they can absorb the rays of the full moon. Most keep their crystal balls covered by a black silk handkerchief when not in use, and don’t allow anyone to handle the crystal ball, for they believe that this action disturbs or diminishes its occult vibrations, requiring it to be reconsecrated and recharged with the gazer’s own psychic energy.

In addition to gazing into crystal balls, many witches utilize the steady flame of a candle, a water-filled cauldron, or what are known as magick mirrors as a focus for their Halloween scrying rituals.

The Best of Divination Methods for Samhain

Goth

The Best of Divination Methods for Samhain

 

Communication between worlds is at its best on Samhain, so any divination you perform on this night is rods, or a pendulum to find answers to yes-or-no questions.

Tea leaves. A traditional way of seeing the future by interpreting the leftover tea leaves in a cup.

Tarot. Reading the pattern of the cards and the symbols to discern past, present, and future. There are many forms of tarot cards available.

Reading palms. Following the lines on the hand to foretell life events.

Runes. Interpreting symbols painted or engraved on sets of stones or wood.

Automatic writing. Writing without thinking, usually done in a meditative state.

These are just a few divination methods you can try; this is by no means an exhaustive list. One technique may suit you better than the others. This is definitely the right time of year to have a go and pick up a new skill.

October 26th

Ludi Victoriae Sullanae

The Ludi Victoriae Sullanae were the games held on October 26 to honor the Goddess Victoria. This festival was established in 81 B.C. to celebrate Sulla’s victory over a large army of Sammites at the Porta Collina in Rome.

Victoria was the Goddess of victory, and her temple was on the Palatine Hill in Rome. She was the equivalent of the Greek Goddess Nike and was pictured with wings. Victoria was an important Goddess to the Romans, and she appears regularly on coinage from the late third century B.C. Victoria came to be regarded as the guardian of the empire, and her altar became a symbol of Paganism.

DAILY MAGICKAL APPLICATIONS FOR MONDAY

 

Monday is named after the moon. The Latin term for Monday is Dies Lunae (“moon’s day”); in the Old English language, this day was Monandaeg; in Greek, it was Hermera Selenes. All of these different names and languages translate to the same thing: the “day of the moon.”

Working with the different phases of the moon is an important skill that takes a bit of time for Witches to learn. So why not cut to the chase and experiment with the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon in all of its magickal energies and aspects?

Magickally, Monday encourages the lunar energies of inspiration, illusion, prophetic dreams, emotions, psychic abilities, travel, women’s mysteries, and fertility.

Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment

Think for a moment on all of the witchery, magick and enchantments that you have discovered. Don’t be afraid to adjust spells to suit your own specific needs. Any gentle, illusory, and dreamy charms and spells can be enhanced when you work on the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon. Mondays are a fantastic day to boost your psychic abilities and to tune in to your intuition and empathy. It also gives you the opportunity to work with a different lunar phase each and every Monday, which means in one month you could work four different types of moon magicks on Mondays. How’s that for adding to your repertoire? You are going to have mad skills in no time at all.

So light up those lunar scented candles and add a little mystique to your outfit by wearing an enchanting lunar color. Wear your sparkling silver jewelry and maybe add a pair of dangling silver earrings or a pendant shaped like a crescent moon. Create lunar potions and philters; make a dream catcher and give it as a gift to someone you love. Burn some sandalwood or jasmine-scented incense today to inspire the glamour and magick of the moon. Slice up a favorite variety of fruit that is in season for a snack or share it with your love and enjoy his or her lunar and romantic qualities. Brew up a cup of chamomile tea, enchant it with a little moon magick, and relax and get a good night’s sleep.

Most importantly, get outside tonight and watch the moon for a while. What phase is she in? What color was the moon as she rose? Why not start a journal and write down at what location the moon rises and sets for a few seasons? This is a great way to teach you to tune in and to become more aware of the moon and the influence that she pulls into our lives. Try calling on Selene for her magickal assistance, and call Thoth for wisdom and strength. Get to know the Norse Mani and the Latvian Meness. These gods of the moon have plenty to teach, and if you allow their influence to cycle through your life, you’ll receive many blessings. Be imaginative, and create your own personal lunar magick and witchery. Go on….the moonlight becomes you.

A Very Glorious & Blessed Monday Morn’! The Count Down To Samhain Is On! Can You Feel the Veil Thinning?

Wiccan magicThe Veil Is Getting Thin

As I went out walking this fall afternoon,
I heard a whisper whispering.
I heard a whisper whispering,
Upon this fine fall day…

As I went out walking this fall afternoon,
I heard a laugh a ‘laughing.
I heard a laugh a ‘laughing,
Upon this fine fall day…

I heard this whisper and I wondered,
I heard this laugh and then I knew.
The time is getting near my friends,
The time that I hold dear my friends,
The veil is getting thin my friends,
And strange things will pass through.
