Today’s Witches Rune

The Star

Meaning: In many cultures, the Star is a symbol of hope, dreams and destiny, and in the Witches Runes this symbol has a similar connotation. When the Star rune appears, it’s green light for you to go after what you want.

Note that the Star does not say you’ll get everything you want without any work. No. This symbol is a not about easy success, but about having faith in what you are doing – and doing it. In fact, the goals suggested by the Star are usually the highest and most significant ones – the ones that are hardest to get. It does not matter what the dream is, but its significance in your life. This symbol also represents ideals, and they can be both individual and collective ones.

In a more down-to-earth way, the Star is related to revolutions, changes, risks, speculation and all things motivated by faith and ideals. It can represent a sudden spark on inspiration, a windfall, a sudden rise to fame or a promotion. Though the sudden changes brought by the Star are usually positive, they are also fast: you can get back to point zero as quickly as you rose. So don’t be afraid to jump forward when the opportunity arises.

The Star urges you to take the risk, to have hope and to trust. After the staleness of Crossroads, the Universe finally begins to move again. If you believe in Higher Powers, this symbol shows that They are guiding you in this moment. The Star is a very positive rune, but in a more negative context it can represent revolution for revolution’s sake and the constant idealization of people and situations. It can also stand for excessive individualism when going after a dream.

In relationship readings, this rune represents hope and an idealistic kind of love. Usually the people involved in the relationship have high expectations about the other. They easily put their partner on a pedestal, only to feel frustrated when reality strikes. The Star can also represent unrequited love, or the love for someone who is unattainable. On the other hand, this rune tells you to not give up love entirely – keep looking, because someone is coming.

Your Horoscopes for Monday, June 13th

by Rick Levine

Part of the Daily Insight Group

If Today is Your Birthday: June 12

You are sociable, popular, and insatiably curious. You have writing and/or speaking skills and enjoy expressing yourself. At the same time, others find you an interesting conversationalist. Moodiness and restlessness come when you are not intellectually stimulated or on the move. Even so, it would be wise to slow down from time to time in order to get in touch with your deeper needs and intuition. Famous people born today: Anne Frank, George Herbert Walker Bush, Charles Kingsley, Jason Mewes.

Your Birthday Year Forecast

Your birthday occurs around the time of a First Quarter Moon this year, and you are reaching an important turning point in terms of personal growth. You may be more emotional this year, and should watch for unnecessary conflicts and making hasty decisions as a result. Otherwise, this is a year of great energy, motivation, and growth. You are more ambitious and desirous of action in the year ahead. This should be a busy, dynamic period in your life.

There are likely to be quite a few doors opening for you this year. Negotiations, marriage, and business partnerships benefit. Artistic talent is emphasized this year, and respected – you can truly shine. You are motivated by the desire to strike a balance in your relationships and in your personal environment. Smooth negotiations with others are sought. You are more diplomatic and gracious this year. This is a good period in your life for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance.

Uranus transits in harmony with your Sun this year. Exciting changes and new interests are likely during this period. It’s easier than ever to express your unique individuality, and if this involves changing careers or jobs, a new love affair, or an entirely new hobby, it’s something that takes you forward into unexplored territory. You are more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations. It’s a good time to join organizations and groups and to attend meetings or social events. You are able to find creative solutions to problems now. Flexibility is the key to success. Your personality is sparkling, which is sure to attract new circumstances and people into your life.

However, watch for stress and tension this year. Good energy is with you for energetic mental work, but there can be an argumentative or easy on the trigger quality to you at times during this period that should be watched for. Be careful to avoid cutting words and aggressive driving, and watch for putting ideas into action too quickly.

There may be changes in work schedules or life’s circumstances could challenge you in such a way that you need to change your goals or actions. This can also be a time when you tend to resist others and challenge them if they are trying to hold you back. Energy fluctuates this year. If you can avoid rash or impulsive moves, you could enjoy more courage than usual to do things that break the routine or clear the air.

Saturn forms an opposition to your Sun from January 2017 forward. Saturn calls upon you to identify the weaker areas of your life, and to fix or strengthen them. Take the time to sort out your life, improve your work, and to become more efficient. Taking a slow and steady approach to life is necessary now. Pushing too hard will likely lead to frustration and setbacks. Take it easy and work on self-improvement. Results are not immediate, but will eventually come and bring healthy rewards.

Venus-Uranus is a favorable influence in your solar chart this year, and you can benefit from social meetings and events, as well as situations that call for treating others with equality and respect. You may lose your fear of taking risks at this time, and happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. This could be a good year for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as group activities. You have a taste for the offbeat and this energy can bring sudden or unexpected romance into your life, perhaps a scenario that feels like love at first sight.

Your unique manner of expressing and asserting yourself is in focus and appreciated this year. Suppressed anger is more effectively released in creative ways. Physical healing can help inner healing, and vice versa.

Needs and cravings seem to be in harmony this year, or at least not in conflict, with those of your loved ones. It makes you feel especially good to help and support those you love.

Relationships are in strong focus this year. Your charm and attractiveness can be in the spotlight, and artistic tendencies come to the fore. It is easier than ever to express your individuality in a manner that is true to you. Communications projects move forward. Love and social matters can be exciting, although at times a little destabilizing. New and interesting experiences are likely, but energy can fluctuate and impulsive moves should be watched for. 

2016 is a Number Nine year for you. Ruled by Mars. This is a year of completion and transition. It is a time when we need to let go of things that no longer serve their purpose, and hold on to things that have a future. It is a time of cleaning out dead wood, not necessarily for new beginnings. It can be a time when a burden has been taken off your shoulders, and it can be a year of giving of yourself. Advice – let go of things that are holding you back, give of yourself and express your sympathetic, compassionate side.

2017 will be a Number One year for you. Ruled by the Sun. This is a year of action. The seeds you plant now, you will reap later. Others might find you less sociable, as you are busier than ever and you focus on your activities and your needs. Still, you are outgoing and your initiative is stronger than ever. Advice – Stand alone, take action, start fresh, express independence.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, June 12th

Aries

It’s easy for you to win people over through your words these days, dear Aries, and today, this possibility is pronounced. Your wit and charm are noticed and  appreciated. A new way of getting around or connecting can open up. There can be good news, conversations that inspire good feelings and optimism, or a surprise meeting with a friend. A small change in your look or surroundings can be very favorable now, lifting your spirits in large ways. An aloof and independent, yet friendly, manner wins admirers right now. Mercury moves into your communications sector today, where the Sun and Venus are already influencing. This transit lasts until the 29th and  gives your communications more oomph. It’s easier to convince and persuade others, and people can be quite attracted to your natural wit and intelligence.

Taurus

Your thinking along practical lines is especially original today, dear Taurus. You can also be quite attracted to new things and situations now. Solutions arrived at now are inventive and can involve seeking out hidden or previously unknown sources. You are open today, and this improves your personal attractiveness. It’s a good time to bring a little change or surprise into a relationship. There may be a small turnaround in a relationship – a positive one. You might make a surprising ally. Mercury leaves your sign today and enters your sector of personal resources, where it will transit until June 29th. New ideas can be applied to business and money during this useful cycle. Natural talents are highlighted – you can find more practical use for what you do best. Agreements and contracts can be made/signed, or there may be a lot of discussion about practical affairs.

Gemini

You might be the center of attention today in some way, dear Gemini, with attractive Venus in your sign and in positive aspect to Uranus. Your unique qualities are subtly enhanced or more noticeable, and well-liked. It’s a good time for personal magnetism, especially in social situations, so mingle, connect, and network. Remember that Venus doesn’t push, it attracts, and that’s your best approach now. Whether this comes naturally or not, consider ways to improve your image and experiment with your style. Mercury enters your sign today and will continue to transit Gemini until the 29th. This brings more clarity to your life – you might jump off the fence about a matter, for example, or decide to speak about something that you were keeping to yourself. You have a stronger “voice” and more of an impact as a communicator during this period. You can be more communicative and “present” with others.

Cancer

This is a great day for enjoying private moments and thoughts, dear Cancer, with Venus in your privacy sector forming a happy aspect with Uranus. You are finding beauty in hidden or not very obvious places. There is an open and spirited mood even if you are not being especially forthright with your affections. You readily give of yourself on the level of support, help, and service, but you keep a bit of a distance emotionally. There is a real sensitivity to and appreciation for private or hidden elements in every situation you encounter today. There could be an opportunity to understand someone, or love/feelings, on a spiritual level. Venus and the Sun are already in your soul and privacy sector, and today, Mercury joins them. During this cycle that lasts until the 29th, private matters and past issues can be a strong mental focus. You could be (or should be) doing more contemplative or meditative activities, research, and reflection. Know limits when it comes to crossing the line from analyzing the past to obsessing over things that you can’t change or redo. There can be more secretiveness or indecision in your life as you sort things through.

Leo

This is a good time for loosening up, enjoying yourself, and trying new things, dear Leo. Interesting people and ideas can figure strongly today. This can be a good day for making connections, boosting a friendship, and communications in general. There can also be especially easy and happy relations with a partner or love interest. There can be a spiritual awakening of sorts now, wherein people you meet can learn a lot from you, and you from them. Conversations tend to spark sudden awareness and eureka moments. Enjoy yourself today, mingle, and don’t hide yourself away, as new approaches and ideas can be explored now. Mercury moves into your solar eleventh house today, where it will stay until the 29th. Your mind is more inventive and open during this cycle. You can also be quite focused on happiness goals, dreams, wishes, and hopes. Sharing your thoughts is a strong interest and your input and conversations are well-received. Group activities, friendships, and community events can be in focus. You can also be quite technical, business-minded, and progressive now.

Virgo

Respect comes your way very easily today, dear Virgo, and relations with those in authority, such as parents or bosses, can be improved, perhaps in surprising ways. This is a time for pleasant surprises and advances, particularly related to life path goals. You’re looked upon well, so take advantage. Connections might be made that prove to be especially favorable over time. Someone might sponsor you or give you support. Mercury begins transiting your career and reputation sector today after a longer stay than usual in your adventure sector. This signals more career or goal-oriented thinking. This influence that is with you until the 29th stimulates interest in, and thought to, career and business affairs. Your work may very well require or demand more communicating, mixing, and connecting on your part. You speak with more awareness of your audience, and also with more authority. For some, there is more public or professional attention to your ideas.

Libra

There is beautiful energy available to you today for making nice with a lover or partner, dear Libra. Charm is on your side, and this is increasing day by day. Openness to new ideas is a major factor in your attraction. Surprising pleasures, good news, or stimulating ideas can be part of the picture now. There can be a refreshing change of pace and an uplifting of spirits now. Mercury begins its transit of your adventure sector after a long stay in your deep solar eighth house. Symbolically, your thoughts are lifted up and out. Until the 29th, you are thinking in broader terms and entertaining big ideas. While this is not the best time for practical implementation, you are able to expand your thinking and gain new perspective on matters during this period. You are a little braver when it comes to expressing your opinions and sharing your ideas.

Scorpio

This is a great day for addressing unusual, taboo, or complicated matters, dear Scorpio, with a very open mind and rather detached emotional state. People in your life can be pleasantly surprising, bringing light and fun into your life. There may be a good turn on a financial or business level. People are backing you up, and this feels good. Today and until the 29th, Mercury transits your solar eighth house after a rather long and sometimes challenging stay in your partnership sector. This is a period for picking up all sorts of information and cues that are overlooked at different stages. You are a person who tends to read between the lines more frequently than others, and this trait is pronounced now. Financial strategy and planning, research, analysis, and investigation can be especially successful under this influence, particularly when Mercury forms strong aspects. In your personal life, you are bringing more logic and objectivity to matters that are not as rational, whether it’s because they are sensitive, intimate, or taboo. When Mercury is challenged, however, you could be overthinking things.

Sagittarius

Giving your time to someone, or allowing a person to shine in their own way as they take the lead, can be very rewarding for both of you today, dear Sagittarius. You may be in a wonderful position to seek or give advice, and leaning on someone can be fun as it’s not excessive right now. This is a fine time for meeting people, and you are feeling especially open and receptive. There is a spirit of freedom and acceptance today that is key to good feelings and enhancing bonds. Make peace now, with both friends and enemies. Mercury begins transiting your opposite sign today, and will do so until the 29th. This brings your ideas out of hiding and thoughts become more social. During this cycle, you tend to need catalysts to jumpstart your own thinking. You might crave one-on-one conversation, advice, or simply a little input in order to eventually come to your own opinions. You might naturally attract intelligent people into your life, or seek out people who are willing to converse and listen.Negotiations and compromises can figure strongly now.

Capricorn

This is a good time for seeing your life in positive, progressive ways, dear Capricorn, and for solving problems or ironing out differences. Personal and practical matters improve. It’s a good day for sharing your plans for the future with others you trust. Work benefits from openness to new methods or teamwork. When it comes to love relationships, there is a sense that you’re growing, moving forward, and improving. Generally speaking, this is not about making commitments but rather exploring options. Home and personal updates can be quite successful now – even small improvements can feel wonderful now. Mercury enters your solar sixth house today, where it will transit until the 29th, stimulating more attention to detail. This is not a time for really being “out there” when it comes to communicating — you’re more likely to enjoy some tidying up in the background. Your work or daily routines can be especially busy. You could also be working on improving your skills.

Aquarius

This is a day when upgrading and updating figure strongly, dear Aquarius, and this can involve equipment and material things, but can also take place on a  mental level – new ideas, perspectives, and experiences are in focus. You could learn of something exciting, get good news, or simply have positive communications now. Your personal appeal is strong today. “Being yourself” is always encouraged, but today you’ll see instant proof of why this is so. Use this time to break from a bad situation. Mercury moves into your solar fifth house after a long stay in your home and family sector. This turns your thinking outward. You’ll be tapping into your more creative or playful side during this cycle that lasts until the 29th. Your ideas are more popular, your conversations more playful and friendly, and your thoughts often very creative.

Pisces

This is a generally good time for bringing more harmony, balance, and style to the home, as well as for boosting family bonds, dear Pisces. Even little improvements and advances can feel big and exciting. Today is good for resolving problems and ironing out differences. You are learning a little about letting go of some sentimentality towards your personal possessions, either making room for things that improve your life, or getting rid of excess. While this is an ongoing process that is sometimes on the difficult side, today it feels good to unburden. The key now is to offer freedom and space to the people you care about. Mercury enters your sector of home and family today, and while this is not the most verbose or articulate cycle, it’s a good time to bring some objectivity and productive conversations to your home life. This Mercury cycle continues until the 29th.

House of Mirrors – Tips for Clarity in Unsettling Times

a message from Selacia

To view more of Selacia’s insight, please visit her website, Selacia and the Council of 12

Living now can be unsettling and exciting at the same time. With so much in flux on our planet, it can feel intense and uncertain – yet the wise part of you knows something wonderful is in the making.

Divine Changemakers Role

On those days when you feel stressed or just on overload from the plethora of incoming information, take a time out to remember the wonderful new world being birthed. As a divine changemaker you are an instrumental part of this birthing!

Clarity in House of Mirrors

On some days, you may feel like you’re living in a house of mirrors. So much is being reflected back to you from so many places and dimensions. It can be mind boggling to get perspective on all you are experiencing, and to know what to believe about the reality you are witnessing.

By now you’ve heard countless times that life itself is your mirror and that each relationship you have helps reflect back to you something you need to see or understand.

Example: you engage with a loved one who has fallen in love and sees the world through “new love” eyes. This may remind you of a time when you felt exactly the same way and help you remember the feeling of being loved without preconditions. This may make you smile.

These are not ordinary times, to be sure. During a typical day, you have lots to focus on and the constant challenge of prioritizing things. You as a being are synthesizing incoming images and data nonstop, even while you are at rest.

In these moments, we indeed have so much changing so fast that internalizing it and making sense of it can be quite a challenge. Many things you will encounter in your house of mirrors can be a combination of truth and fiction.

How do you get clarity? With wisdom you learn to avoid taking things you see literally and you master the art of inquiry. You question what you see, hear, and feel. Rather than simply rejecting what might appear as crazy or even dangerous – you reflect on the mirror of what’s being presented. You ask for a higher view to better understand the larger picture.

Factoring in Cosmic Energies – Neptune Retrograde

It’s helpful to factor in current cosmic energies while responding to events, people, and your own next steps.

Example: Neptune the planet of illusions,visions, fantasy, and the ability to tell fact from fiction, goes retrograde June 13 until November 19 after the US elections. During that time frame it’s vital to apply even more discernment. Something may look like a very good thing or a very bad thing, but the mirror showing it to you may have distortions.

Similarly, you may get strong intuitive guidance to move a new direction, yet something about that choice may be slightly off – like timing or some other detail. Therefore, question things with more scrutiny. Don’t put your life on hold but act sensibly.

In your external world, if news about politics or other issues seems too silly to even bother with, ask within for a higher perspective. Nothing is all good or all bad. Look fearlessly at what you see so you are informed. Walk the middle path of staying conscious as you encounter what a mirror is showing you.

Big Shifts are in the Making

Under the surface of things is percolating an amazing development in humanity’s evolution. You know this at your core. Your heart knows this. You understand intuitively that big shifts are in the making, even if world events illustrate the opposite. Your soul wants you to be here now for these mega transformations of life on Earth – not only to witness them but to actively engage in creating them.

Walk gently the next several months. Be kind to yourself and others as things play out. Watch the fireworks without taking them personally or getting burned by them. Receive the joy and blessings of being the light being that you are, without insisting on knowing all the details.

Apply this daily mantra: “I now let go and trust the universe supports me.”

First Quarter Moon

The First Quarter Moon phase occurs when the Moon is 90 degrees after the Sun.

This is a time of action. We become aware of differences, and this can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also of great energy, motivation, and growth. We may be feeling especially ambitious and competitive. Things are beginning to take off or to turn a corner. This is a time when we want to get something going, but we may not know the next step or the exact direction we want it/us to take. Most suitable activities now include taking action, pushing forward, making offers, researching more options, meeting new people, and gathering new/additional supplies you may need to further a project. Watch for overconfidence or overshooting the mark. Use the stress generated now to make changes.
