Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for March 2nd is The Chariot
Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today
The Chariot
The Chariot is the representation of Victory and the personality traits required to attain victory. The Chariot indicates self-awareness and control. Courage—the ability to overcome fear and confront the unknown head on–is a primary ingredient of any victorious campaign and is denoted by the Chariot. So too is force of will. Often success is as much the product of will power and a refusal to surrender as it is anything else. The Chariot also represents the healthy personality of someone who believes in themselves; someone who can take control of the situation and bring events to a positive end. His successes come in competition with others.
Your Daily Rune for March 2nd is Isa
Your Rune For Today
Isa
The Ice Rune, represents stagnation and a passionless existence. Your life’s course may seem blurry at the moment, but if you persevere you will move onto better days.
Alternative Names
Anglo-Friesian/Germanic: Isa
Norse (Viking): Is
Old English: Is
Other Names/Spellings: Eis, Icz, Isar, Isaz, Iss
Pronunciation: Ee-saw
Meaning
Ice, cold, freezing. Lack of change. Stagnation. Lack of emotion. Storing binding. Bridge across danger.
Characteristics
Isa means ice. Although ice can be beautiful, it is also dangerous. It can be slippery or treacherously thin, or block your progress. Isa means that you may have to delay your plans until a more favourable season. But it can take the heat out of a confrontation, or protect against magical attack. Emotionally, Isa implies a cooling of affection, or frigidity. It has a freezing, delaying, or preserving effect on other runes around it.
Personal Interpretation
A period of non-action is indicated. Do not let yourself get into a rut. Do not take anyone for granted. Be not afraid to show your feelings. Crossing water will be beneficial. Things appear to be at a standstill and this is not a time to try to force movement. Patience and wisdom are called for. This is not the time to abandon goals, but an opportunity to reaffirm them. This is a time for contemplation and preparation, not despondency or regrets. Things will change as surely as winter changes to spring and then summer.
Reverse
Isa has no reverse.
Converse
Coolness hides emotion. An impending change will not be of benefit. Smiles mask evil intentions.

Tarot Tip of the Day for March 2nd
Your Daily Tarot Card for Wednesday, March 2nd is The Moon
Your Personal Daily Tarot Card
The Moon
The Moon represents those forces which remain largely hidden to us. The light of the moon provides some illumination down a path into the unknown, but not enough to brighten the landscape like The Sun, or cut through the dark shadows from which the unexpected may leap. However, The Moon is not without gifts we can use. She spurs our imagination and creativity. She can be a portal to knowledge and experience beyond the realm of our everyday lives. But Her offerings are not available to the feint of heart. To receive what The Moon offers one must have the courage to follow uncharted paths and the intelligence to find truths hidden in a bewildering setting rife with illusion. For those who can make this journey the reward may be finding the key to making their dreams come true.

Get a Jump on Tomorrow….
Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, March 3rd
by Rick Levine
General Horoscope
Dilemmas become more pronounced today as conflicting cosmic messages prompt us to vacillate between expansive and contractive behaviors. The optimistic Sagittarius Moon runs into resistance at 5:01 am EST when she enters pragmatic Capricorn. But anything seems possible when a sanguine Venus-Jupiter aspect removes obstacles in our path. Meanwhile, the ambitious Capricorn Moon forms several otherworldly aspects that can widen our horizons.
Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19
Although you may wake up feeling invincible, running into an unexpected problem could motivate you to reconsider your strategy. You might question your chosen path even if you have recently been hopeful about your future. Luckily, your self-doubt won’t likely last for very long if you stand back and reassess your strengths and weaknesses. Nevertheless, be careful not to overdo it by attempting to make up for lost time once you’re back on track. A wise superhero knows her limitations.
Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20
You might actually believe your thinking is extremely practical today, but you could be sadly misleading yourself. You’re tempted to take a risk if you are playing catch-up with your work now, but you may try so hard that your extra efforts actually complicate matters more. Instead of worrying about doing the right thing, just follow your instincts without hesitation. Aligning your actions with your intent will enable you to reach your goals in the nick of time.
Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20
A friend who recently encouraged you to be more adventurous may suddenly turn on you for no apparent reason. Fortunately, you know better than to listen to someone who assumes authority without having earned it. Nevertheless, it’s still smart to avoid confrontation if you find yourself in a conflict with a previous ally today. Your current actions produce unpredictable results, but the tension will subside on its own if you are willing to wait it out. Taking the tolerant route is a winning strategy.
Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22
There’s a touch of cosmic luck in your corner and you might receive a helping hand from an unknown person today. Or perhaps the missing piece of a puzzle just fatefully slips into place as if guardian angels are working on your behalf. However, fulfilling your destiny won’t happen without work, so be prepared for a challenging road ahead. Nevertheless, focusing your mind on your goals — even if distracted by an odd twist of circumstances — should minimize your delays.
Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22
You really don’t know what to make of a rapidly changing situation at work now. You shift from being fine with the instability to freaked out and back to okay in a matter of minutes. Although these extreme mood changes may be mildly confusing to you, your emotional intensity can be truly disconcerting to others. Consequently, you’re wise to keep your feelings to yourself until they settle down. Channel your passion into your art and your clarity will soon return.
Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22
You’re feeling quite confident about your role in your relationships today and may even appear a bit self-righteous if you offer advice to those around you. However, your swagger could put someone off, especially if it doesn’t seem to resonate with what’s actually going on. Instead of sounding sincere now, you might come across as pompous or even overbearing. Toning down your enthusiasm prevents you from stirring up unwanted resistance. Demonstrating your vulnerability inspires others to do the same.
Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22
You are excited to see a world full of opportunities today, but for some reason can’t seem to turn any single one of them into anything real. Instead you could waste too much time chasing rainbows, only to discover that someone beat you to the pot of gold. Ironically, pacing yourself at work is currently your smartest strategy. There’s no need to try so hard to impress others. If you relax your expectations now, good fortune will come to you on its own accord.
Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21
You might believe you can’t win today, no matter what you do. If you choose to change your mind, you could later wish that you didn’t. But if you stick to your recent decision, you may end up frustrated at yourself for being too rigid. Luckily, neither of these approaches means you will fail to reach your goal. Remember, there’s a big difference between judging yourself harshly and actually missing your mark. Treat yourself as kindly as you would treat someone else.
Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21
You could feel like a yo-yo spinning on its string today as your moods swing up and down, again and again. As soon as you figure out something important, your perspective shifts along with your goals. Your peers may grow weary of listening to your latest and greatest plan, especially if you present it each time as if it is a closing argument in front of a jury. Don’t rush your final proclamation because it’s going to change before you know it. Talk less, think more.
Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19
Don’t be so certain that an impulsive urge will set you on the right path, even if it seems like the right thing to do. The Moon’s return to your sign today may leave you feeling on edge as she stirs an array of intense feelings. Keep in mind that it’s senseless to engage in philosophical debates that have nothing to do with managing the practicalities of life now. Keeping your priorities straight and taking one step at a time is not a guarantee for success, but it certainly moves you in the right direction.
Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18
Sticking with an apparently successful plan doesn’t necessarily mean progress will be a piece of cake. You might assume your persistence is the key to obtaining results, but in fact, success is more likely tied to your flexibility now than to sheer determination. Show others how well you can listen and let them know that you’re willing to incorporate their best ideas into your own strategy. The willow tree persists because of its ability to bend in the wind.
Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20
Avoid making any long-term decisions today because your thinking is so inconsistent that it’s running you ragged. Unfortunately, it might be all too easy to make a bad choice now because you can see the big picture just fine but you can’t concentrate on the details. Nevertheless, you still could create an innovative plan with the right resources and community support; just remember that your ideas will need further development and clarification in the days ahead.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries is a Fire sign ruled by the planet Mars. Plants associated with this element and planet usually have thorns or prickles. They are also spicy or bitter in flavor or are red in color. Because Aries rules the head, eyes and face, the best plants for Aries are those that purify the blood, stimulate the adrenal glands, or are high in iron (Mars rules the mineral iron).

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus is an Earth sign ruled by the planet Venus. Venus is the planet that represents desire and beauty, so Taurus plants often have gorgeous flowers and enticing fragrances.

Because Cancer is a Water sign and is ruled by the Moon, Cancer’s plants generally have soft or Moon-shaped leaves, contain a lot of moisture, or are found near water. Oftentimes they are white in color, or have white or pale yellow flowers. Cancer rules the stomach, breasts, diaphragm, and liver, so plants that aid digestion or affect the subconscious are associated with the sign of the Crab.
Fruits and Vegetables: Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, endive, kale, lettuce, watercress, kohlrabi, mushroom, turnip, sweet potato, cantaloupe, cucumber, gourds, watermelon, pumpkin, squash, seaweed, mango, banana, apple, pear

Leo’s plants are usually large and gold or orange in color, or have heart-shaped leaves or a radiating shape. Plants that regulate blood pressure and have an uplifting effect on the spirit are most beneficial to Leo.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Libra is an Air sign, and is ruled by the planet Venus. Because Venus is the planet of beauty and love, Libra’s plants often have light, lovely flowers and gorgeous scents. Libra rules the kidneys and the adrenals, so her plants help to bring balance to these areas of the body.

A Water sign ruled by both Mars and Pluto, Scorpio’s plants are often found in remote places or underground. They will likely have thorns, be red in color, and grow under adversity. The reproductive organs are ruled by Scorpio, so plants that balance the hormones, regulate the menstrual cycle, or help with childbirth and pregnancy are very beneficial to Scorpio.
Fruits and Vegetables: Mushroom, peppers, rhubarb, leek, onions, chives, pepper, garlic, horseradish, radish, mustard
Flowers: Calendula, rhododendron, geranium, holly, black-eyed Susan, scarlet monkey flower, anemone, heather, gardenia, honey-suckle, peony, hibiscus

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Sagittarius is a Fire sign that is ruled by the planet large and optimistic planet Jupiter. So the Archer’s plants tend to be large in size and fairly conspicuous, with a pleasant odor. The best plants for Sagittarius will support the liver, are high in the mineral silica, and promote a positive frame of mind.
Fruits and Vegetables: Asparagus, endive, rhubarb, beets, tomato, turnip, watercress, olive

Herbs: Dandelion, horsetail, Oregon grape root, wild yam, sage, feverfew, sage, anise, nutmeg, mint
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
As an Earth sign ruled by the planet Saturn, Capricorn’s plants usually have few flowers, are knobby or woody, and may have an unpleasant smell or taste. Saturn rules plants with long lives and slow growth, so plants with annual rings are also associated with the Goat. And because Capricorn rules the knees, joints, bones, and teeth, plants that are high in calcium can be very beneficial.
Fruits and Vegetables: Spinach, mushroom, beets, parsnips, barley, rye
Flowers: Calendula, black poppy, henbane, nightshade, African violet, snowdrop, jasmine, love-lies-bleeding, pansy, baby’s breath
Herbs: Comfrey, sarsaparilla, rue, kava kava, mullein, thyme, horsetail, shepherd’s purse
Aquarius the Water Bearer (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Aquarius is an Air sign ruled by odd-ball Uranus, so the Water-bearer’s plants will often grow in unusual places and may vary in appearance. The most healing and beneficial plants for Aquarius are ones that help circulation, relax the nervous system, or promote inspiration.
Fruits and Vegetables: Spinach, beets, rye, barley, parsnip
Flowers: Bird of paradise, orchid, gladiolus, trillium
Herbs: Chamomile, catnip, skullcap, passion flower, valerian, hops, aloe, myrrh, frankincense, spikenard, kava kava, comfrey, cinnamon, cloves

Pisces plants may also catalyze expanded states of awareness and be helpful in dream work.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, March 2nd
Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, March 2nd
Aries
There is strong energy with you today for cultivating relationships, dear Aries, particularly with friends and networks, but also for bringing a pleasant element of surprise to a partnership or love relationship. There is a good spirit of openness, adventure, and progress. This can also be a strong time for inventive new ideas, dreams, wishes, plans, and possibilities. Look to friends and group activities for opportunities to mingle with someone special. Inviting energy is with you for all things romantic and social, but also for shopping and finances. You are attracted to new-fangled, improved, and progressive objects, people, and ideas today!
Taurus
There is an open, progressive spirit to the day, dear Taurus, and to your personality as well, particularly in your professional or public life. You are in the position to charm superiors, and perhaps a few people in your personal life as well. There can be an opportunity to draw upon your inner wisdom in order to solve a problem. You’re bringing inventiveness and unique insight to the day, and you may very well get credit for it. You are not one who is known to easily part with traditions and tried-and-true methods, but today holds just enough detachment that you’re going in that direction – not abandoning these things, but trying out something new – and it’s working for you.
Gemini
This is a strong “people” day for you, dear Gemini. You are especially willing to see the other side of the story, and this is endearing to others. Personal appeal is strong today, largely as you’re expressing your unique qualities. Experimenting with ideas can bring you opportunities, and so can networking. Learning, sharing, promoting, and publishing can be in good form today. You seem to intuitively know future trends, enabling inventive, timely ideas and solutions. New friendships are possible for some of you, and refreshing or renewing current connections can be in focus for others. This can be a fine day for business efforts, particularly those that involve promotion.
Cancer
Negotiations can be successful and compromises can be reached quite easily today, dear Cancer. People around you seem to be willing to move past problems. There can be a happy intimate connection, a financial advance, or a workplace improvement that puts you in a fine mood now. People on the job may be seeing and appreciating you for your unique input. Problems might be solved, not necessarily through great effort or focus, but through a general willingness to let things go and put things behind you. Freedom from an obligation might be experienced by some, which comes as a nice relief!
Leo
There is strong energy for moving a relationship forward, and connecting with others who inspire you mentally, dear Leo. There can be a mind-expanding experience today. Relationships are enlivened and refreshed with an especially open approach to one another. You may be attracted to someone with an interesting mind, and attracting others to you who appreciate your unique way of thinking. Interactions with others and the ideas that are generated can be exciting and inspiring. Some of you could be partnering up for business purposes, or finding that sharing activities leads to better use of your time.
Virgo
There is an especially positive, progressive approach to practical matters today, dear Virgo, that benefits you greatly. Solutions to problems are unlikely to be traditional ones, or they aren’t arrived at from a conservative mindset. Positive vibes while pursuing your daily routines or in your work are likely now, and quite possibly, social opportunities can result. You may have new ideas, or discover alternative methods, regarding health, nutrition, or fitness. Relationships benefit from an open, accepting approach to desires and needs. Cooperation is natural now. The Moon continues to transit your domestic sector all day, and while there can be some early-day worries to deal with, your good mood pulls you out of a funk.
Libra
There is wonderful spirit to the day that suits you well, dear Libra. Creatively speaking, you’re in good form, and others are drawn to your quirkier, more unique qualities, which you’re happy to share. There can be good exchanges with a love interest, friend, or child. Whether the topic is typically taboo or dull, you are able to turn it around with an open-minded, fun approach. It’s a good day to extend an invite, although you might be on the receiving end. You are in some way breaking the chains that have bound you to past, restrictive behaviors in the ways you deal with others, and while this is true in a general sense with long-term guest Uranus in your partnership sector, today it feels especially freeing and positive.
Scorpio
This is a good day for coming to agreements with others, dear Scorpio. You have added panache in your dealings, and know exactly how to approach situations. Family, home, and work matters can move forward pleasantly – you are open to new ideas for improving your situation as well as trying out new and improved ways of relating. You can approach domestic matters and routines or work in a new way. Alternative methods or approaches to health and wellness deserve a second look today. Mixing things up at home can be fun now, and you may very well discover a new interest that excites you. If you want to extend an invite, today is strong for doing so. It’s also good for moving past a grudge, resentment, or insecurity.
Sagittarius
Socially, you’re in wonderful form today, dear Sagittarius. The Moon is in your sign all day, harmonizing with Venus and Uranus, which happen to be connecting in a pleasing way in sociable, communicative sectors in your chart. This is a good day for romantic matters, learning, sharing, and connecting in general. You feel freer and more spontaneous than usual. There can be interesting things to learn through a sibling, classmate, or friend. There can be much enjoyment derived through learning endeavors. Updated technology or new gadgetry can open up a new channel of communication for you, or you may discover a new friend now. Be sure to mingle today.
Capricorn
You are especially open to new ways of doing the usual things today, dear Capricorn, and you can have some fun in the process. It’s generally good for financial matters and even for shopping or acquiring new things. You might even discover a new taste or interest. Home improvement efforts can be successful now. You are a little more daring and willing to experiment with designs, ideas, and ways of relating to others. Practical, business, and financial affairs can benefit from some fresh thinking. Inventive solutions to problems are yours to discover. Romantic matters can move forward, and on a social level, things speed up just enough that you’re feeling more at ease with others and a little flirtatious as well.
Aquarius
There is easygoing energy with you today for relationships, dear Aquarius, with the Sun and Juno connecting by parallel boosting your connections with business and money people, and Venus in your sign in harmony with your ruler, Uranus, increasing your powers of attraction. People are appreciating your special qualities more than usual. There can be good news received, but it’s also quite possible that something you communicate, or how you deliver your message, is helping you achieve what you desire. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests can work well for you now. Communications and learning are favored. This can be a strong day both personally and professionally.
Pisces
The month ahead is a big one for you, dear Pisces – one in which a personal re-invention of sorts is not out of the question. It starts off with fresh energy – the kind that allows you to let go of some of your inhibitions in order to pursue your desires. Some of you could come across interesting news or even a revelation. This is a time for growing and improving situations, relationships, attitudes, and projects through a spirit of openness and a progressive approach. With increased freedom and respect, relationships flourish now.

The Triple Upgrade and Big Breakthroughs – March 2016
Beautiful Light,
We are on the cusp of a powerful trinity of celestial alignments that are going to create big breakthroughs in the consciousness and psyche of humanity.
Before we get into all of the new and exciting updates, I’d like to share a few highly important events that happened in February, which have set the stage for massive personal and global breakthroughs to occur.
One of the events that took place recently, which captured the attention of more than 100 million people around the world, was the NFL Super Bowl game, which occurred on February 7 in the United States.
Most people don’t usually think of competitive sporting events when they think of spirituality. However, during this year’s Super Bowl halftime show, Coldplay was the featured band chosen to rock in front of the world stage. It’s also during the halftime musical performance that even more people tune in to watch.
During the halftime show, Coldplay drenched their set, their performance, every television set tuned in, and the consciousness of more than 100 million people around the world with sacred geometry symbols, which included the Flower of Life symbol, among many others.
These symbols, as many on the spiritual path know, serve as potent activators that bring into one’s consciousness and auric space the frequencies of Divine Love, Wholeness, and Oneness.
The result was that at the exact same time, more than 100 million people around the world who may not have been actively choosing to pursue a path into higher consciousness, were seeded with the sparks of Divine Love, Wholeness, and Oneness, so that their awareness could begin to shift from the “me” consciousness to the “we” consciousness.
This brief unification of humanity has created a large opening in the collective human psyche for us to be able to embrace higher states of existence, and to finally transcend the illusions of separation, fear, greed, and anything else vibrating at a similar frequency.
This event was definitely not a coincidence, and is playing a key role in the next chapter of our collective journey.
So far in 2016, we’ve also experienced some other events that have been asking for us to pay attention to them.
Some of these events include the recent stock market crash, the rise of the outsider (non-establishment) candidates in the U.S. presidential elections, and the emergence of refocusing on resolutions that were once brushed to the side, but that are now being valued as important human rights issues that desire to be addressed and resolved.
The First of Three Upgrades
On March 8, 2016 we will experience a total solar eclipse.
Eclipses are some of the most powerful astrological occurrences, because they often usher in major changes.
During an eclipse, humanity is upgraded energetically, so we may feel highly charged. It might be a good idea to write down whatever inspirations we receive at this time, so we have them available for easy access later on, to integrate into our lives.
An eclipse is also a great time for healing, because it brings to the surface deeply buried patterns that are no longer aligned with our highest potential.
If you find yourself and others feeling a bit more emotional or sensitive than usual during this time … be gentle with yourself and them, as this will allow the healing to be a much smoother experience.
As we use this time for healing, it’s also a great opportunity to let go of the illusions of separation, and to remember that we have always been One with all of Life, including with each other.
This particular total solar eclipse is asking us to take inspired action towards creating the kind of reality we truly desire for ourselves.
A big part of this action will begin by asking us to let go of the unnecessary pressure and judgmental patterns we’ve projected onto ourselves and others.
Once this pressure is addressed and resolved, the path will be cleared for us to align with the people, places, and experiences that will support us in creating our desired reality.
One of the greatest ways to work with this solar eclipse is to be clear about what our intentions are, and to be willing to follow through on them when the opportunity to do so presents itself.
During a total solar eclipse, meditating on the Sun strengthens our internal Sun (located in the solar plexus/stomach region), which represents our Divine power.
This helps us to express ourselves more openly and freely, without holding back. It also helps us build confidence in ourselves, including our gifts, talents, and overall presence in this world.
The Second Upgrade
On March 20/21, we will receive another energetic upgrade with the equinox.
The spring equinox signifies that days are getting longer, while the autumn equinox represents the days getting shorter.
During an equinox, the length of day and night become equal. This reminds us to look within ourselves, to create balance between our own inner Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine Self.
The equinox is also a time of renewal and new beginnings. This is an excellent time to focus on what we are grateful for, while also moving forward with fresh pep in our step.
An equinox is an excellent time to:
- Simplify our living space/environment, so that we are able to release many of the things we haven’t been using. The general principle I follow is: If I haven’t used it in the past year, it can now find a loving new home with someone who will truly benefit from receiving it.
- Try something new that feels to be out of our comfort zone.
- Switch up our routine every few days over the next few months, to keep ourselves open, fresh, and available to the opportunities presenting themselves to us.
- Begin a new class or spiritual practice, to reconnect ourselves with our true nature of love.
- Forgive any and all people, places, and experiences in our lives that still trigger us emotionally in any way.
- Create a balance between our Divine Feminine aspect (our creative, nurturing, playful side) and Divine Masculine aspect (our passionate, action-oriented, motivated side).
- Begin a new project or creative venture that feels to be aligned with our heart’s desires.
If any of these suggestions feel expansive and joyous to you, know that it’s a confirmation that it may be time for you to integrate them into your life, so that you can make room for fresh new blessings that are aligned with your heart’s desires.
The Third Upgrade
On March 23, we will experience a penumbral lunar eclipse.
A penumbral eclipse occurs when the moon only enters the penumbra area of the Earth’s shadow. This type of eclipse causes the moon to only darken slightly when viewed from Earth. However, this doesn’t take away from the impact it will have on us energetically.
The lunar eclipse is a great time to illuminate ourselves from within.
A lunar eclipse gives us time to be introspective, and to look a bit more closely at the way we are choosing to express our emotions. It gives us the opportunity to look within ourselves, and to release the blocks we’ve been carrying that have weighed us down.
This eclipse will serve as the third major energetic upgrade we will receive in March.
The key right now is to continue being gentle with ourselves, and to align with what brings us joy and fulfillment. If we focus on what’s not working in our lives, we magnify them, and manifest more of those things into our lives.
By being kind, loving, and gentle with ourselves, it becomes much easier to focus on the blessings in our lives, and in doing so, we can expand into creating more of them.
We will leave March completely different from when we entered it. So hold onto your hats, and get ready for a fun, fast, and transformational month!
Till next time,
Miraculously yours,
Emmanuel
