Your Charm for Today

Today’s Meaning:
The frog represents good health, physically and emotionally. This aspect shall remain in a good light as long as you maintain good health.

General Description:
This is an old Roman Amulet but the charm dates from prehistoric times. The Frog was the emblem of Hegt, the Egyptian goddess of abundance fruitfulness, fertility and plenty. From Egypt these myths spread and similar goddesses were worshiped under different names — Ishtar in Assyria, Belit in Babylonia, Al-ilat in Arabia, Aphrodite in Greece, Venus in Rome. The Frog, cut in amber, is a popular talisman. In Italy Greece and Turkey, it is still worn to bring good health, prosperity, and abundance of all the good things of this earth.

Your Three Dragon Reading for the Upcoming Weekend

In Chinese Culture the Dragon is generally considered a sign of great luck and power. However the Red, Green and White Dragons in Mahjong represent three distinct influences that can affect your life. The Dragon Reading creates a relationship between sets of tiles to each Dragon to explore how the Three Dragons will influence you now and in the near future.

 

The White Dragon is indeed a wily fellow. His domain is the great unknown, and the tile set under him suggests an area or areas that could affect your life in unexpected ways.

 

 

 

 

West Wind
Symbol: Metal
The West Wind tile represents an obstacle that must be faced before you can make progress towards your goals. This obstacle may be anything from a person to needing to find work.

 

 

Fall
Symbol: The Farmer
The Farmer represents rewards gained through hard work and faith in oneself. He harvests riches from the planting and nurturing of his crops.

 

 

 

Bamboo 2
Symbol: Duck
The Duck tile symbolizes a long lasting relationship with the strength to overcome all obstacles. It suggests fidelity and trustworthiness as well. Regardless of the type of partnership in question, the 2 Bamboo tile indicates a strong, healthy relationship.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

Balance

 

Balance denotes the benefits of keeping the use of your energies justifiably proportioned between your pursuits. The symbol Yin and Yang is used to represent the balance. Yin and Yang is possibly the most elegant and sometimes elusive definition of Balance there is. While Balance is rarely if ever perfect, being far out of Balance means that while one part of you may be thriving tremendously, another part of your life may be wilting.

Your Ogham Stave Reading for Today

Luis

 

Luis corresponds to the letter L in the alphabet, and is associated with the Rowan tree. This symbol represents insight, protection and blessings.

The Rowan tree has often been associated with protection against enchantment and magic. Rowan sticks were often used to carve protective charms on, and hung over a door to prevent evil spirits from entering. The berries, when split in half, reveal a small pentagram inside.

The Rowan indicates protection as well as knowledge – insight about what is taking place in your surroundings.

Luis Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: Keep your awareness high, and go with your intuition when it comes to the people and events in your life. Trust your judgment, and don’t allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security.

Magical Aspects: Keep yourself true to your spirituality, staying grounded even in times of doubt. This will help protect you from that which might bring you emotional, physical or spiritual harm.

 

Reference

Today’s Witches Rune

Woman

Meaning: The first meaning of this rune is quite obvious: it represents women. Any woman that is important in the question, whether you know her or not, will be represented by this rune. Mother, sister, aunt, grandma, a female boss, friend, lover or even enemy… all can be symbolized by the appearance of this rune.

In a more general sense, this rune is related to traditional female abilities and characteristics, such as giving birth, nurturing, comforting and healing. When this rune appears, you can count on the sympathy of others towards you or your situation. In its most negative aspects, the Woman rune can show over-protectiveness, a patronizing attitude or co-dependency. It often strives to maintain the status quo, refusing to change even if the situation is bad.

The Woman rune is connected to nurturing – nurturing a relationship, a person or a project. Like the Moon rune, it can be related to finding a safe place to rest and heal, but while the Moon implies a solitary retreat, the Woman often shows that you need to go back to the people you trust, the people you feel safe with.

Healing is another strong aspect of this symbol, as well as teaching. You can be both the patient/student or the healer/teacher when this rune appears. This rune is also connected to creativity, but in a way that is different from the Romance rune. While the latter is about the conception of a project – the initial stages of creation – the Woman is about the birth of this project. When your creation is brought out into the world, fully manifested.

In relationship readings, this rune isn’t bad, but rather weak. While it can indicate subtle ties between people, these are usually so, so subtle that the partners can easily drift away from each other. It can show that one of the partners sees the other as someone who needs to be protected and healed, rather than an equal. Usually, the romance is a bit stagnated when this rune appears, or very close to becoming a friendship.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow…..

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, June 25th

 

Aries

You need more than usual rest, time to yourself, and opportunities to digest and process recent events today, dear Aries. Even so, you are in a good frame of mind for work and long-term goals. You are entertaining strong ideas about where you’d like your life to go, and how to get there! Motivation builds as you feel a sense of purpose or destination. Others may be showing you more respect or they may be admiring your work. There can also be more demand for your work or projects opening up to you. This can also be a good time for making big, positive changes in your daily routines or with your habits.

Taurus

You are more sensitive to the needs of others today, dear Taurus, but also to your own need to feel that you belong. While you may be wrestling with your expectations of others right now, you are very far-sighted when it comes to projects and goals. These days, you are commanding attention in a positive way, and you are approaching your life with more confidence and self-assurance. There may be opportunities to study, travel, and connect to people and ideas that expand your mind and worldview. You are in a strong position to sniff out good opportunities and to gravitate towards pursuits that are destined to be successful.

Gemini

Demands on your time are rather strong today, dear Gemini, and you’re especially sensitive to how you’re coming across or how you’re performing. Fortunately, you’re appreciated by others for the most part, although there can be some criticism coming from a partner. This is a good time to get your priorities straight and to put in a little extra effort. With Jupiter and Pluto coming to their final trine tomorrow, this is a good time for improved family and domestic matters as well as for making positive lifestyle changes. Financial support may be available to you. Business and home matters can expand or improve, and you’re likely to find more support or backing for what you’re doing.

Cancer

Satisfying the wanderlust in you, even in a small way, can be rewarding now, dear Cancer. Break the routine and do something different, creative, and imaginative. Allow for some freeform activities, but also take advantage of the focused, ambitious Jupiter-Pluto influence with you now. Learning, sharing, and connecting are in strong focus and can take on deeper, more meaningful layers. Your views toward love and commitment can transform. You could find motivation to pursue a dream project. Transportation and communication opportunities can open up. There are wonderful opportunities emerging for friendships as well as personal influence.

Leo

You are paying closer attention to those things you normally sweep under the carpet, dear Leo. This can be helpful in moderate doses, after which you may be inviting a bit of drama! Self-improvement endeavors are highly favored now, not only because the Moon is in your psychological solar eighth house, but because of a Jupiter-Pluto connection that stimulates personal ambition. This can be about money on the surface of things, but it’s more likely to be about gaining the ability to experience more of life on your own terms. While it’s a more introspective day than most, you are getting along with others and feeling supported. A project begun last fall may be spreading its wings or could need your attention. You can be especially motivated to produce, build, accumulate, and prove your worth.

Virgo

With the Moon in your opposing sign all day, dear Virgo, this is the time of month when you seek out companionship and tend to avoid executive decisions in favor of collaboration. However, with Jupiter’s trine to Pluto occurring now, you’re actually in a great position to make decisions that further personal plans and goals. Your confidence in yourself is building, and you are likely to find it easier to ask for – or take – what you want from life. This is a good time for picking up or renewing a satisfying hobby. Look for opportunities to express yourself in new or improved ways. Some of you could be trying out a new look or attitude, and it’s likely to be quite successful now.

Libra

While this is a good time for focusing on work and routines, dear Libra, there is nothing ordinary or routine about your attitude today. In fact, you’re looking to make some long-term changes as Jupiter and Pluto move towards their final trine in a set that began in October. This is a great time for giving a lifestyle change an extra push. It’s a time of emotional bravery – you are ready to face up to fears that may have been holding you back from pursuing happiness wholeheartedly. Improvements can be especially noticeable surrounding finances, family and home matters, and personal development. Support from or of family can be rewarding now. You find it easier to address tricky issues and to express your deeper emotions. This can be a good time for physical renovations in addition to emotional ones, particularly around the home.

Scorpio

This is a good day for entertaining your more playful and/or creative ideas, dear Scorpio. Even so, it’s also a time for tuning into your serious ambitions and ideas with Jupiter and Pluto coming together in a trine. This is the last of three such aspects in a set that began in October, and it’s an empowering influence. This is a time for discovering more meaning and purpose in your life, particularly related to communicating, connecting, and sharing. You are building more faith in yourself, and others more readily see and appreciate your efforts. You are turned to as an expert on a matter, and/or teaching and guiding others can figure strongly. You’re feeling more passionately about what you do and what you believe, and this is reflected in the work you do.

Sagittarius

With the Moon in your sector of family and home all day, dear Sagittarius. You are more likely to stick with familiar and comfortable people and situations rather than venturing out or taking a risk, just for the time being. Even so, with Jupiter and Pluto connecting in a trine tomorrow, this is a strong period for entertaining personal ambitions. You are coming across well and attracting respect. Whether it’s about work or an important goal, you’re more focused on achieving. Look for ways to boost relationships with higher-ups. Your talents may be recognized and appreciated, or you could simply enjoy developing and using them.

Capricorn

You are more curious than usual today, dear Capricorn, looking to branch out and experiment. The pace of your life seems quickened, mostly in a pleasant way. It’s best not to be rooted to one place or task, as this is an important time for diversifying. A Jupiter-Pluto influence with you now stimulates your ambition and encourages belief in yourself and your future. It’s a good time to put your feelers out, make connections, do research, and pay special attention to your intuition. This can be a time for sharing ideas and teaching or guiding others quite successfully. It can be very satisfying to learn new things and meet new people.

Aquarius

Balance is sought today, dear Aquarius, and emotions tend to settle down. You are seeking out more comfort and safety, but you’re also prepared to temporarily upset the balance in order to secure these things. A Jupiter-Pluto connection motivates you to make important, empowering lifestyle changes. Ambition to get to the bottom of emotional problems in your life is strong now. This is about facing fears and breaking through taboos. There can be a nice feeling of growth and improvement experienced in a special relationship, or through more honesty with yourself. Bonds are strengthening. This is a solid period for support and counseling as well.

Pisces

The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Pisces, and you can feel as if you are beginning anew on an emotional level. This is an appropriate time for leaving behind emotional issues that have been annoying you or undermining your personal comfort. It’s time to start fresh. There can be some challenges meeting the expectations or demands of others today, but you are in a good position to make adjustments that get you to a better balance. A Jupiter-Pluto connection enriches your relationships with more meaning and understanding. Relationships can prosper and grow, and mutually beneficial partnerships may be formed.

If Today is Your Birthday: June 24

There is a gentle element of your charisma that is unmistakable, and yet your quiet strength is also obvious. You have a real homebody streak in you. Work and home life are two very strong drives. Security is important to you, more than most, and you don’t make big lifestyle changes easily. Your love life is often laced with drama.

Famous people born today: Jack Dempsey, Jeff Beck, Michele Lee, Minka Kelly, Mindy Kaling, Mick Fleetwood.

 

Your Birthday Year Forecast

Your birthday occurs around 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.

This can be a year in which you are bolder, more assertive, and energetic. You are especially interested in setting goals and challenges for yourself this year, and taking the necessary action to meet them. You may meet or interact with others who encourage or inspire you in some way to have more confidence in yourself. Your energy levels are generally strong this year, and your sense of timing better than usual. Independent work is favored and competitive activities may also thrive this year, although you may need to tone things down at times, and learn more patience. Your passions and enthusiasm run high, and the trick is to channel this extra energy constructively.

You are attracting relationships that are fair and balanced. Your decorative or artistic sense is more strongly developed this year. Making new contacts through learning and mental pursuits figures strongly at this time in your life. You might find that others are more cooperative with you this year.

Even so, with Mercury in challenging aspect to Neptune in your Solar Return, some difficulties with communications are possible during this period. There can be misunderstandings, misinformation, wishful thinking, confusion, carelessness, and deception. Verify the facts before making decisions and avoid taking precipitate action. Read all the fine print before signing a contract or making an agreement.

You tend to crave more activities with a partner or meaning and purpose to what you’re doing together. This can be a strong year for dedication to a particular craft, personal interest, or your work. Pleasing circumstances surrounding your love life, finances, and creative pursuits are in store this year. You are more generous, and others return the favor. You might receive financial backing or special gifts in the period ahead. You seek a little more from your love life and you are likely to receive it. Some of you could fall in love this year, or existing relationships are enhanced. Adventure-seeking is a theme.

Your open heart is likely to attract easygoing friendships or love opportunities into your life. This can be a good year for social meetings and events. You tend to happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. You have a taste for the offbeat this year, and this energy can bring sudden or unexpected romance into your life, perhaps a scenario that feels like love at first sight.

A Jupiter-Uranus trine in your Return chart suggests that an enterprising spirit this year can really take you places. Sudden opportunities for advancement in different areas of your life appear. At the heart of this is your ability to recognize and capitalize upon opportunities and potentials. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of your willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. This aspect favors group activities, financial endeavors associated with groups or organizational efforts, educational pursuits, writing, publishing, speaking, and humanitarian efforts.

You are bolder and more courageous this year, and you’re quick to take the initiative. You might watch for impatience or rebelliousness, which can trip you up at times. Overlooking important details can also be a problem. It can be a good year for both independent work and partnerships. Others are more cooperative and generous with you, and you’re more willing to branch out and try new things. Your social life is likely to blossom.

2015 is a Number Two year for you. Ruled by the Moon. This is a year of potential companionship. It is a quiet, gentle, and mostly harmonious year that is less active than other years. Instead, you are more responsive to the needs of others. If you are patient and open yourself up in a gentle manner, you will attract both things and people. This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future. Advice – be patient, be receptive, enjoy the peace, collect.

2016 will be a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time, when it is easy to enjoy life and other people. Focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure. It is likely to be a rather lighthearted year, when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a good year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out, but avoid scattering your energies.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, June 24th

 

Aries

There is greater love for family and/or personal time and domestic life these days, dear Aries. You tend to protect your heart more than usual at this time, and you might often seek out, and even cling to, secure and familiar people or situations. Today, if you’re feeling a little restless, your instincts could be to take little risks or to stir up a bit of trouble. Interactions can be stimulating but perhaps a little too competitive for your liking this morning. As the day advances, you’re less bothered by little problems and differences. A Jupiter-Pluto aspect comes into influence and stimulates a desire to grow, improve, and succeed. Priorities become clearer.

Taurus

This morning, there can be heightened sensitivity to relationship problems, dear Taurus, and much impatience with mechanical things, slow responses, and other small delays. People can very easily grate on your nerves. You can choose to react to what feels like insensitive comments, or you can choose to rise above them. As the day advances, however, it becomes easier and easier to put small differences aside and to see potentials, priorities, and the bigger picture. Pouring yourself into a creative project or hobby can be healing.

Gemini

This morning, you may be feeling conflicted as part of you wants to especially productive, dear Gemini, and another part would prefer to bask and enjoy the moment. Some of you could be tempted to buy something expensive, splurge, or otherwise live beyond your means. It can be hard to have healthy conversations when both parties are trying to get their way. Ego conflicts can ensue, and it can be too easy to lose sight of what’s truly important. However, as the day advances, a Jupiter-Pluto aspect comes into influence, reminding you of more empowering goals. This is a good time for bonding with people you love and for home improvements.

Cancer

Watch for worries about relationships eating away at the happiness of your day, dear Cancer. Love is easy to attract, but it can be difficult to get the timing right. Watch for impatience or impulsiveness, particularly on a social level. You may need to take a look at the hard issues now so that you can take action on them later. You may not be feeling especially supported at the moment. Dissatisfaction is likely right now, but this discomfort can motivate you to make improvements. Tension irons out as the day advances. Certainly by tonight, you’re ready to move on.

Leo

There may be some resentful feelings this morning if you feel put upon or pressured to make a decision, dear Leo. For some of you, vague tensions leave you feeling restless until you get in touch with your true desires. You could feel that others are trying to take the reins while you remain in a state of limbo. You need more time to sort out your needs and wants. Tensions today tend to come from a feeling of pressure to push a matter that’s not ready to go. Hot-headedness only leads to more trouble. Moodiness of family members or troubles on the home front are quite possible now.

Virgo

You could have a hard time deciding whether you want space or attention today, dear Virgo, with a Venus-Mars challenge this morning. In truth, you may not be completely content with either. Sharp, impatient wording should be avoided, as it can really make waves now. It can be all too easy to get worked up over minor issues. If others are not as warm as you might like them to be, do your best to set feelings aside and instead concentrate on those things that you can control, change, and improve. In fact, it’s a good time to solve problems in your work or to discover new or innovative methods.

Libra

There can be social opportunities through your work or connections these days, dear Libra, although today, you might feel a little put off by someone who is trying to push an issue with you, or by poor timing in general. Watch for impatience that can lead you to seek out expensive or indulgent things and activities. Consciously try to slow down and tame your desires, which can seem very immediate and urgent now but may not seem as important later. The second half of the day plays more in your favor. There is good energy for coming to agreements with others, and, with less pressure, timing issues become a problem of the past.

Scorpio

If you’re harboring frustrations about a relationship, dear Scorpio, these can emerge in small but disruptive ways today. You can be on the offensive and on the defensive at different times today, but pushing matters will only lead to further tension and possible discouragement. It can be difficult to satisfy ego desires this morning. Wait it out and avoid pushing matters that need more time to unfold naturally. Try to keep things straightforward and aboveboard so that there are no resentments or regrets. You’ll be coming out of your shell in the coming days, starting tonight.

Sagittarius

Early today is not the steadiest of times for your emotions, feelings, and affections, dear Sagittarius. Money matters may be problematic for some of you. You might also struggle with whether to tend to others’ needs or your own, when a compromise is truly the solution. As the day advances, you feel stronger and more focused. Your ruler, Jupiter, moves into harmony with Pluto, stimulating your ambitions and deepening your faith and confidence, particularly in material pursuits.

Capricorn

Confrontations early today tend to be fruitless, dear Capricorn, rather than lead to improvements. Mildly difficult energies now seem to get in the way of healthy, open relationship patterns, but if you aim to learn from the differences that seem so glaring now, you can discover problem areas that need extra attention. Stubbornness is likely now but should be avoided. Tame impatience, which can lead to messy situations. As the day moves forward, you’re inclined to lift your thoughts to more important goals and ambitions. Tonight and tomorrow are good for personal appeal, magnetism, and persuasion. You’re also in good shape when it comes to matters related to publishing and promotion.

Aquarius

Unrest with friends and lovers is quite possible this morning, dear Aquarius. People are focusing too much on what they want while neglecting to see the other side. Exacerbating problems is some confusion about true desires and needs. Be patient with others, but don’t get pulled into game playing. It will sap you of energy that you can better use elsewhere. As well, treat others with care, while doing the same with yourself. Priorities become far clearer as the day progresses. A Jupiter-Pluto trine is entering the picture, and this can stimulate a strong desire to grow, improve, and transform your life in positive ways. As these rather lofty goals come into focus, the smaller conflicts and problems of the morning begin to fall out of your vision.

Pisces

Venus is in a playful area of your chart and Mars in your adventure sector, dear Pisces, and while these sectors complement one another, a challenging aspect between the two planets occurs this morning, pointing to some tension. You can feel restless, uncertain where to direct excess energy. You feel pulled in different directions, with demands from others either too much or strong but unclear. There can be pouting, drama, and all sorts of tricky relationship maneuvers going on now. Avoid letting these things drain you. Impatience won’t move things forward if they’re not ready to go in that direction. As the day advances, conflicts seem less pressing as priorities come into strong focus. The Moon enters your sign tonight, bringing you more visibility and clarity.
