Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, December 8th

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

A Sun-Uranus trine today stimulates wonderful forward-looking energy, dear Aries. You are likely to want to put something behind you and to look to new horizons now, and your attitude is optimistic. A strong urge to rid yourself of restrictions, particularly in the mind or in your attitude, can motivate you to take charge. You may be excited about new projects or interests or old ones that you are ready to push forward. Look for opportunities to publish, promote, travel, share, and learn. You can be happy to put an old method behind you and embrace a more open or authentic way to express yourself. There can be a desire to enjoy an entirely new adventure of sorts, whether this is in the mind or physical.

Taurus

Taurus

You might enjoy a desire to put a problem behind you today, dear Taurus, related to a relationship or your own emotional state. Embracing change comes more easily to you today than it does on most other days as you are able to detach yourself from some elements of the past. There is readiness when it comes to approaching typically tricky or deeper emotional issues, if only to move past them. There can be a bonus received now, either material or emotional, that seems to come up out of the blue. If you’re in need of a regeneration of sorts, including kicking a bad habit, this is a good time to do so. A pleasing connection can be made today. You can experience a strong emotional need to do something spontaneous or taboo – to break through barriers. Behind the scenes efforts are favored now.

Gemini

Gemini

The day brings good energy for connecting with others, dear Gemini, whether it’s a one-on-one situation or a friendship that develops from a friend of a friend or group connection. It’s an excellent time for being around people, networking, pairing up, and following through on recent connections. You are a little more spontaneous than usual, and people around you seem to be open to change and progress as well. Putting your head together with someone, you might come up with a great idea or opportunity that may not occur to you on a regular day. It’s also a good day to socialize and fraternize, join a group or attend a meeting, and otherwise make connections. You may open your eyes to someone who appears more friendly, or someone could see you in a new, more positive light. You’re also less anxious about social situations today.

Cancer

Cancer

This is another strong day when your ruler, the Moon, forms supportive aspects and you feel freer to be yourself, dear Cancer. Romantic and creative activities are favored. Also today, a Sun-Uranus aspect encourages a healthy desire to improve and make changes, particularly in practical areas. You can come to a new understanding about certain career, health, or financial matters today, or an overview of sorts as to where you are headed or want to head. Goals seem realizable. The desire is to move past problem areas or situations that truly hold you back from realizing your potential. New insights can be experienced now, and should not be ignored. A money-making idea may very well be golden. You might come across a new and innovative method for getting your work done or a way to update technology or methods of doing your business that free you to pursue other opportunities that require your attention. A sense of turning over a new leaf with a health or fitness goal can be with you today.

Leo

Leo

You can experience a desire to put something behind you or pull yourself out of a rut today, dear Leo, and this is especially so on romantic, recreational, and creative levels. This is a good time to break the routine in little or subtle ways – there is no need to force. Small personal triumphs are the goal now, and you might consider opportunities in areas of recreation, hobbies, higher education, travel, or publishing and promotion. You can find that others are agreeing with you or harmonizing in key ways, particularly a partner or significant other. You may be feeling more confident about pursuing a personal interest, creative endeavor, or even a relationship than you have been. There can be an opportunity to learn a new way of thinking through a connection or recreational activity (even an inspiring book or movie) or to inspire someone with your ideas and perspective.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

The chance to put something behind you on an emotional level can emerge today, dear Virgo. This can be about a financial or home matter for some of you. This is a time for exploring ways to break out of a rut with family, in your home life, or in terms of your attitude towards how much you are in control of your own world. Allow yourself to enjoy your relationships with others by detaching yourself a little from your fears and insecurities, as good energy is with you for pushing beyond your usual limits and barriers, which are often self-imposed in the first place. There can be cooperation with someone close to you now. Some might enjoy good news on a financial level. This can also be a day when you or someone you love opens up about an intimate matter with nice, liberating results.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

Circumstances are such that it’s clear a relationship needs a fresh approach today, dear Libra, or you begin to see your relationship needs in a brand new way now. You’re approaching life with more spirit and faith, particularly as you interact with others and in your communications. There can be unexpected assistance or kindness, and possibly pleasant surprises, from a neighbor or acquaintance, partner, or close friend. Communications are more open-minded and forward-looking than usual. It’s a good day for reaching out, checking in with others or extending simple gestures that show you care, and learning new things. A new mental interest or project could reach a nice turning point or you might refresh an old project. The attitude today is “out with the old and in with the new” particularly for you as this pertains to relationships, learning, transportation, and communications.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

Today brings good energy for getting over things – living in the present and looking forward to the future, rather than dwelling on the past, dear Scorpio. It’s also strong for planning and formulating strategies. Your intuition is serving you well. New insights into your career path, money and resources, or a work project can emerge today that can truly push you forward. You are drawn to new ways or methods for improving your daily life, income, and health now. In fact, alternative healing methods can be a draw now, or you might discover new ideas about approaching your health that liberate you from methods that haven’t been working for you. You certainly need to break out of any ruts that have kept you from thriving. The Moon occupies your sign all day, bringing visibility and an open pipeline to your emotions. Once again, the Moon is finding easy outlets for expression, and you’re in a great position for personal appeal and creative insight.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

The Sun in your sign is forming a beneficial, supportive aspect to progressive Uranus today, dear Sagittarius, and this can stimulate some nice feelings of moving forward, particularly on creative levels. Others may be noticing you and appreciating your point of view, and they can be drawn to your optimism and ability to detach at appropriate times. You could be feeling freer to be yourself, to express your ideas or your affections, and even to put on a little show with your talents if it so pleases you. Your tastes may seem a little offbeat or different today, and you are also interested in new and different hobbies, pastimes, and recreational activities. It’s a great time to breathe new life into old projects and even relationships, or to pick up a new interest and pursue it with confidence. Don’t ignore the emotional opportunities of the day in the process: good energy is with you for connecting with family.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

An important change occurs today, and while its benefits may not be clear to you just yet, dear Capricorn, you’re likely to feel rather brave and confident as you sense you’re moving past something. There is more openness to change in the family unit or within your own mind as you are willing to let go of an expectation or a burden that you may have put on yourself. Family matters can thrive with an open mind. You might consider ways to improve your living space. This can be a time for receiving or giving support and help, and it can be gratifying. The key theme of the day is some form of liberation. You need to feel the weight of burdens lift. Look for opportunities to pull yourself out of a rut or to free yourself of an energy-draining habit.

Aquarius

Aquarius

This can be a strong day for communications and relationships in general, dear Aquarius, as your ruler, Uranus, forms a strong, supportive aspect to the Sun, currently a guest in your solar sector of friends, groups, and long-term dreams and goals. You are likely to feel quite confident and optimistic, and possibly excited to share ideas and plans with others. Networking can be beneficial or enjoyable now. You’re in an especially open frame of mind about making changes. There may very well be a new avenue of communication that opens up with someone special today, and agreements might be made or easy interactions with others are featured. There could be good news or encouraging, inspiring conversations. Open the airways, communicate, and encourage others to do so as well.

Pisces

Pisces

You might enjoy a pleasant surprise now, dear Pisces, related to your work, long-term goals, and finances. Some of you could enjoy a bonus, raise, or some form of recognition for your efforts. Others might come up with a new idea related to business or money-making plans. This is a time when you’re feeling especially open to new ideas and opportunities, possibly acquiring a new item that improves your life, or discovering a method that improves your work or business. Your intuition is strong when it comes to new ideas to make improvements. It’s a good idea to present yourself professionally today, as people can be drawn to your ease with practical affairs and your open-handed, open-minded approach. This is also a fine day for learning and teaching, legal matters, and travel plans.

You are a quick study. Not only do you love to learn, you love to teach or at least share your knowledge. There is a youthful quality to you no matter your age. A little mischievous, and perhaps temperamental too, some might say you think too much. Your love relationships may be considered unusual, as you are attracted to uncommon people and set-ups. Independence and freedom are qualities that you value most in any partnering.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, December 7th

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

You are sharper and have much thinking to do today, dear Aries. There is a strong desire to solve problems or to get a jump on a project, and again today, there can be success through brainstorming and action taken with a partner. You are again quite independent-minded, but open to input. The Moon moves into your intimacy sector this morning and then cozies up to Venus midday, and this enhances your desire for more warmth and depth in a relationship. Later today is especially strong for intuition, understanding an emotional matter better, and accessing your imagination.

Taurus

Taurus

Giving is the key that unlocks doors today, dear Taurus, with the emotional Moon aligned with loving, gracious Venus in your partnership sector. You can use the gentle energy of the day to refine your values, observe your interactions with others with an eye for making improvements, and extend help and support or simple gestures that show you care for someone. It’s a fine day to attract people to you, and especially warm or helpful people into your experience. Obstacles can disappear with love, compassion, and cooperation. It also helps that there is good energy with you today for thinking on practical terms about work and health.

Gemini

Gemini

The energy of the day is an odd combination of pleasure-seeking and productivity, dear Gemini, but somehow you’re able to make it work. Mixing work with pleasure is not always successful, but today it may very well be. It certainly can also be useful to bring some intuition and imagination into your routine or your work projects. You need some recreation and perhaps a little pampering, but you also need to get things done in order to feel complete today. This can also be a time for showing you care about someone through help and support, not only through words, although words can work as well! In fact, you’re in a good position to express affection creatively now, and your thinking about relationships is polished and on point.

Cancer

Cancer

The day’s energies are excellent for artistic pursuits, dear Cancer, although they can also inspire some self-indulgence. This is a time for gentle attraction – for letting people and things come to you. However, you can certainly help them out by making sure your emotional or spiritual doors are open, as well as by treating people the way you’d love to be treated in return. You have charm, sensuality, and magic at your disposal today. There is also good energy for problem-solving, particularly related to family, work, and health matters. Once again this month, you’re in a great position to organize, plan, and sort.

Leo

Leo

There is good energy for acceptance and love, as long as you let things flow, dear Leo.  Accept others for who they are, and let go of what you expect them to be today for best results as the Moon connects with Venus and Neptune in your sectors of soul. It’s a fine day for harmony in the home, whether through seeking balance in your interactions with close loved ones, or adding artistic touches to your home environment that create a sense of harmony and balance. You’re also once again in a good position to communicate in a more creative manner and to push a communications or creative project forward. Your thinking skills are strong and you tend to make quick decisions. You’re also more able/motivated to plan and organize a project effectively.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

Negotiations can bring very successful outcomes today, dear Virgo, as you are keeping your expectations reasonable and seeing beauty rather than difficulty in differences. This is an excellent time for sharing ideas, writing personal emails and notes with added flair, and ironing out differences with siblings, neighbors, and acquaintances. There is also strong energy for problem solving, finding the missing puzzle piece in a long-standing dilemma, or picking up a new interest. You can feel quite motivated to get moving on a project that requires sorting and planning on a mental level.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

There is creative strength and quiet inspiration to the day, dear Libra, as your ruler, Venus, and the Moon align in your sector of resources. This energy can be channeled into business and practical matters quite successfully. Aim to be as centered, open, and receptive as possible right now for best results. Comfort and pleasure are in high focus, and may drive decision-making when it comes to spending. Do watch for overindulgence, but allow yourself some room for pampering, which can be good for you in moderation. A creative relationship between Mars in your sign and Mercury today, however, suggests that there are rewards in putting a communications project into motion or to share your ideas and interests with others.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

The Moon moves into your sign this morning, and then hooks up with Venus and Neptune, dear Scorpio. This is a day to greet with love, compassion, and understanding. The Moon is in your sign bringing unfulfilled or unexpressed emotions up to the surface, and aligns with receptive, attractive Venus, also in your sign. There is a stronger desire than usual for love and new beginnings. Neptune adds elements of imagination, compassion, and mystery to the mix, and the result is heightened intuition as well as personal magnetism. Access your more gentle, kind, and patient qualities today. You are also well-equipped to make decisions about personal finances now.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

This is a time for taking a step back and observing rather than pushing forward with plans, dear Sagittarius, with the Moon and Venus aligning in your privacy sector today. Allow your intuition to guide you, and allow patience to show you that life is unfolding the way it should. Some things can’t, or shouldn’t, be rushed. It’s a good time to detach from the world in some manner and retreat into a reflective space. Even so, there is good energy for thinking and communication skills today, and you might reach out to a friend or share an important and helpful idea with others with success now.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

This can be a good day for enjoying friends, group or teamwork, and networking, dear Capricorn, although all or any of these can be major distractions if your attention is required elsewhere! Nevertheless, there are benefits from making connections and enjoying the company of people who allow you to be yourself. It’s also a fine time for attracting someone, or good will, your way. There are also good influences for making business-related decisions, especially those that require planning and organizing, so aim to reach a satisfactory balance between work and play.

Aquarius

Aquarius

Although procrastination may be a problem today, dear Aquarius, this can be a nice time for attracting positive attention to you, particularly on professional or public levels as the Moon and Venus align at the top of your solar chart. Ride the wash and wait for motivation to pick you up. Ultimately, you’ll be most successful in areas that you feel passionate about, and there is good energy for feeling out areas of special interest or for discovering something altogether new that interests you. The day is more about letting things and people seek you out rather than aggressively pursuing desires. You’ll learn much through observation today.

Pisces

Pisces

There can be a stronger focus on values, travel plans, education, and play today, dear Pisces, as well as self-expression. You are framed very well now – others tend to see you in a positive, if a bit mysterious, light. The day can be a dreamy one, filled with possibilities, but also a good one for communicating and making sharp decisions, particularly related to money and career. You might be in the position to teach, advise, guide, or instruct others. It’s a good day for drawing upon your intuition to construct ideas and future plans. Movement and fresh air are desirable and helpful now with an emphasis on your solar ninth house from early morning forward.

Your Karmic Forecast for the Week of December 6

Weekly Forecast: December 6 – 12, 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: December 6 – 12, 2015

12/6 ~ Sun (confidence) ~sextile~ Mars (action):

This is an excellent time for action! You may have some good, positive energy brewing that, if it does not find an outlet, could turn negative or destructive. So DO something – get moving – take action! Work on accomplishing some long sought after goals, physical, spiritual, emotional, mental or material. The Universe supports action at this time. Call in help from other like-minded souls – reach out – share this energy and see where it leads. During this kind of energy, you could secure a stronger position and if you have to fight for something, you will do so more effectively with this energetic support.

12/6 ~ Mars (lower will) ~square~ Pluto (Higher will):

This is a test of what you are made of, on the deepest core level, and will require surrender as well as focus. This energy challenges you to evolve and will make you want to push through all obstacles but you must be careful not to be so aggressive that you are stepping on anyone to get where you’re going. This is a potent energy that can facilitate major transformation in your life if you know who you are, what you want and what you are willing to sacrifice to get there – that includes parts of your Self that may need to shift to be more effective. This energy can bring power struggles, within or without, so be mindful because this energy is affecting everyone at this time. This is the time to tie up any loose ends if you are close to beginning anew. If you do not finish what you already have in the works, it may get in the way of things you want to do in the future. It is time to align your true inner power with balanced outer actions & choices.

12/8 ~ Sun (core identity) ~trine~ Uranus (individuality):

This energy is wonderful for a little self-examination and taking action on your own behalf. Look at your habits, home situation, work or anything else that is important to you and look at how you’ve gotten to where you are. What kind of choices led here? This is a good time to look around and see how you can conserve what is useful and release that which is no longer relevant for you going forward. It’s also a good energy for organizing & clearing the decks, so to speak, of things that have piled up but still need to be dealt with (or released altogether). You may be feeling very practical, possibly selfish, but it’s actually self-preservation.

12/10 ~ Mars (energy) ~oppose~ Uranus (radical shift):

This is a mixed blessing. On one hand, this energy can bring on impulsive, reactionary behavior. You can have sudden outbursts of anger or frustration with a strong need to be ‘free’ from whatever you are perceiving as a limitation or holding you back (person or circumstance). The best use of this energy is to consciously direct your energy to free yourself from any restrictions – self-imposed or otherwise. This is a time when you will be extremely motivated to do whatever it takes to live freely (by your own definition). Do not suppress this energy as that will only make it blow up in your face, at a most inconvenient time. Use this activation to check your Self and determine what you deeply desire, what your definition of freedom is and what you are willing to do to live a more authentic life.

12/11 ~ Venus (relationships) ~trine~ Neptune (vision):

This is a very supportive energy for dreaming your world into being! Allow your imagination some latitude to wander and see where it leads. You may be very connected to others and what they are going through. You may have a very spiritual encounter with another, friend, family or lover, but only time will tell if it is Neptune playing tricks on you or it is truly a spiritual union.

Let’s Talk Witch – THE GODDESS


Egyptian Comments & Graphics

 THE GODDESS

 

One of the things that sets Paganism apart from most of the other religions in the world is our belief in not just a patriarchal male god but in a matriarchal goddess as well. Father and mother, if you will.

As a nature-based religion, it makes sense to follow the patterns that we see everywhere in nature: male and female, that is, not just one or the other or neither (unless you’re an amoeba).

The goddess we worship comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and we call her by various names, depending on our personal preferences or the needs of the occasion. There is even a common goddess chant that merely repeats the names of some of the most well known: Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna.

As you can see by this list, our goddesses are drawn from many cultures, including Greek, Roman, Celtic, Indian, Egyptian, and Sumerian. Does anyone know where Sumeria was, by the way? I certainly don’t. Many times, the goddesses we call upon have actually outlived the culture that spawned them. Now that’s immortality.

The goddess is generally known in three forms: maiden, mother, and crone, collectively referred to as the triple goddess. She changes shape as the year changes: young in the spring, middle-aged in the late summer, old in the winter, and young again as spring returns.

Most Pagans find one or more goddesses who appeal to them in particular (or who speak to them in an especially loud voice-sometimes the goddess picks you, and not the other way around) and call on her most often. Some just say “goddess” without feeling the need to attach a name. Either way, our belief in the goddess strengthens our connection to the female in all of us (yes, guys too) and to the duality in the natural world that surrounds us.

No matter what name you call the goddess or goddesses you worship, remember to treat her with respect and a bit of caution as well. These are powerful, many-faceted deities, after all. Even the lovely Venus, goddess of love and beauty, was known for her twisted sense of humor on occasion. Ever have a bad blind date? Yup, that’s her too.

Celebrating 365 Days of Legends, Folklore & Spirituality for December 7th – LaQuema Del Diablo

Egyptian Comments & Graphics

December 7th

LaQuema Del Diablo

 

In Guatemala, as part of the Advent season, people bundle up their old belongings and garbage, which is then ritually burned to ward off evil spirits. It is believed that by doing this the people will be purified and live longer.

During Victorian times, this day was dedicated to the evergreen green rosemary-the rose of the Virgin Mary and special plant of Christmas. It was believed that the plant blossomed on Christmas mas Eve and acquired its scent from the garments of the infant Jesus. In English households, the plant is picked on this day and dried for winter potions and potpourris. There was an old saying, ing, “where rosemary grows, the woman rules the house.”

*Getting outside and looking for the moon in the heavens. Sit under her light and absorb a little glamour. Call on the moon goddess Selene for practical help in magical issues.

*Invoking the god Thoth for wisdom and insight

*Empowering your silver jewelry under the light of the moon. Wear moonstone or pearl jewelry today to add a lunar and magical shimmer to your outfit. Be mysterious and subtle and wear moon-associated colors such as white, silver, and blue.

*Working spells for safe travel with a simple moonstone

*Gathering bluebells, jasmine, gardenias, or white roses to create a little garden witchery with the flowers that are associated with the moon

*Setting up a lunar Tarot spell today to increase your psychic powers

*Eating a lunar fruit such as a melon to be healthy, serene, and at peace

*Brewing up a cup of chamomile or mint tea and enchanting it for sweet dreams and restful sleep

Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment

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.

Monday

 

In the word Monday, we can see part of the word Moon. In the romance languages such as Italian or Spanish, this day of the week is called Lunes and clearly relates to the word lunar.On Mondays, a variety of magick may be worked. Because Monday centers on the energies of the Moon, things like psychism, dreams, feminine energy, health, success in spiritual pursuits, domestic matters, and things of family origin are especially important this day.

Mondays are best for love magick and anything concerning home or family, thus old saying, Mondays child is fair of face, which seems clearly to relate to the themes of love and health.

Angels of Monday are Gabriel, Arcan, Missabu, and Abuzaha. Arcan is known as the king of the angels of air and the “ruler” of Monday. Abuzaha (Abuzohar) serves Monday, and is very responsive to invocations and ritual magick. Missabu is a ministering angel of Arcan.

Check whether the moon is waning or waxing to determine what your spell will be. During waning moons, do spells to rid yourself of obstacles or for wisdom and protection. During waxing moons do magic for increase of any kind or to draw something into your life.

On Mondays, the best hour to work is moonrise. Get this information from your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac.

 Moments

 

As fleeting as time can be

I try hard not to get too caught up

Our lives but a vapor

Recycled throughout time

What is time

It is but a moment

We all know moments come

Though there can be many

Remember they are fleeting

Only to last a moment

As sure as the clouds and stars above pass

So do all the moments we have

I try hard to remember

To be ever thankful for each

Always remembering

The choice is what we do

With each moment

So never take for granted

Each and every moment

For they pave the way

For the enlightenment of the soul

–From our favorite poet, T. J. WhiteWolf
