Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 15th

Aries

It will be especially important to avoid going over the top today, dear Aries particularly when it comes to what you’re saying. You might communicate something, likely very positive but perhaps exaggerated, and this can lead to complications down the road. Try not to count on plans that appear to be a little too unrealistic, but do stretch your mind and entertain bigger ideas and plans. You are very much geared towards having some fun these days with planets entering your entertainment center, and you are craving more time to get creative, but work and chores also call strongly. Consider finding a balance between work and play rather than overdoing one or the other.

Taurus

There may be some scattering of energies today, dear Taurus, as it can be difficult to truly know what you want, although it would be a good idea to try to uncover the source of any discontent you feel now. You can be on the fence about whether to play things safe or to take a personal risk. Check in with yourself to understand whether your impulses are based on real need and not just boredom! The tendency is to exaggerate and overstate your feelings, but this can get you into tricky territory.

Gemini

Your responses to others are generous today, dear Gemini, and while this is wonderful on some levels, there is a tendency now to overstate or exaggerate. This can happen quite sincerely in the moment, but may be based on restlessness or an overestimation of your needs. As such, later on you may question why you made the statements you did! You might also misjudge your energy to follow through on something as motivation levels can be very high but then dip rather dramatically.

Cancer

A big part of you wants to settle in and enjoy a slower pace, dear Cancer, but your curiosity and some emotional restlessness can stir the pot now. There is a tendency to either talk too much or too prematurely, and for your mind to wander away from the here and now. While some woolgathering is just fine, it might also be a form of procrastination when time might be better spent focusing on current practical needs. If you can tame these unproductive tendencies, the day can be wonderfully positive.

Leo

You’re ready to take on challenges without much in the way of further thought today, dear Leo, but remember that a little circumspection and strategy can go a long way now. You have a real zest for action, but not necessarily a solid plan to go by. Watch for taking things too far, particularly when it comes to spending and indulging, but also with regards to speaking too soon about a matter. Look for new ways to get creative.

Virgo

Generally speaking, you are talented at taming expectations, dear Virgo, as you are a predominantly practical soul. You typically don’t want to get too hyped about what might only be a pipe dream. However, Jupiter challenges this ability today. The temptation is strong to take on more than you should, to count on something to come through, or to make promises that can eventually be difficult to keep. Dare to dream, but don’t overlook the fine print in the process. If you choose to help someone today, choose carefully. You may be reading people incorrectly just for now.

Libra

You can present yourself as especially sociable and may be seen as everyone’s friend today, dear Libra. While it’s sincere, you may not feel like following through or taking on new commitments later on, as energy and confidence tend to lift up very high and then dip, much like a sugar high. As such, be moderate with promises – or don’t make promises at all. This is about thinking you can do more than you truly can. Remember your limits. Keeping busy is a must with the Moon moving into your communications sector this morning.

Scorpio

Your professional duties or personal responsibilities can be pressing today, dear Scorpio, but a good part of you would prefer to go your own way. It can be difficult focusing on priorities now, as much as you’d like to. Look for a balance rather than trying to push either one drive or the other. Watch for some tendency for friends to exaggerate, or for news you hear to be exaggerated. Distractions aside, you can be feeling quite optimistic now.

Sagittarius

Today, you are likely craving something deeper from your relationships than your manner implies, dear Sagittarius, so that there can be some mixed signals or letdowns. The drama of intimacy attracts you, but you’re coming across as lighthearted, playful, and casual making it difficult to get the kinds of responses you want. The key to handling the day well is to be moderate – avoid going over the top. Your opinion may be sought and delivering it humbly will make a world of difference.

Capricorn

You are a little more sensitive than usual today and probably prefer to keep to yourself, dear Capricorn, with the Moon retreating into your solar twelfth house. It would be wise to avoid situations that might demand too much of your emotional energy. However, you may end up committing to something that will probably end up draining you. As such, reconsider and remember your usual limits when you’re tempted to go above and beyond. Your dreams and plans can be very grand today. Let your imagination go. The finer details may need attention later.

Aquarius

You seek out company today, dear Aquarius, and begin to focus less on achievement and accomplishment. While the day should feel good on many levels, there is some inclination to feel restless which can stimulate the urge to go to excess. Overstating is a potential problem right now. In truth, you may simply be looking for more meaning to your life and a deeper connection to the world around you, and it would behoove you to explore the roots of dissatisfaction, particularly in the world of relationships. What you tend to say today may not accurately reflect what you truly want and need.

Pisces

Watch for a tendency to gloss over or neglect important details today, dear Pisces, both personally and professionally. In your relationships, you may be wanting more drama or “proof” that someone cares. Alternatively, someone may be seeking this from you. True equality should be the goal right now, so if the thought “I am doing all of this for you” arises, you know you’re heading in the wrong direction. Do only what you want to do, and this way you won’t have to deal with resentful feelings. When it comes to work or chores, you might feel you can take on a lot, but keep in mind that energy and time may not match your optimism today. The Moon’s move to the top of your solar chart this morning stimulates a desire for more order and purpose in your life for the next couple of days.

Thoughts from your Hostess of Light July 2016

a message from Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

To view more of Gillian’s insight, please visit her website, The Quantum Awakening

This month has been thick and heavy like the gravitational pull in this dimension weighs us down a little more each day. We feel like an egg on a Texas sidewalk, cooked over-hard! Life demands that we get out and celebrate but the she-crab in all of us says ‘no thank you’, I would rather stay in my shell, a place of safety. The world is turned upside down and we all pray for peace, and kind of peace, but the dove of comfort comes not.

Life has become primordial oozing like the Florida gulf sludge that was birthed out of the ancient seabed by mechanical probing and digging. Everything comes to the surface and most of it seems toxic in the form words, actions and promises. We look at our species and wonder what went wrong. We look at our lives and wonder the same thing. All that we were taught does not hold up in the light of this new day. truths are hung out to dry in a wind created by political lips flapping. We get on bended knee and pray this is the’ comedy zone dimension’ and not our final home. We change channels and dreams more than we change our sheets. People are afraid the root chakra is blocked and they have all put tinfoil all over their windows afraid to look out afraid to feel afraid to love. Everything hurts and the wounds can be seen in the heart and eyes of those around you.

Everything screams for justice but it seems the goddess of justice has left the outcome in our hands and not divine creation. The light and the dark within everything fights with itself, from ancient DNA to cell towers pinging,  the outcome is uninviting as humanity begins to lose its compassion for itself.

In this month of Cancerian she-crab energies none of us wants to feel. we are all in liquid overload in a tidal pool planet. Truths are ripped from us faster than a speeding bullet as the big reveal becomes our inner truth. we all don shield-maiden gear trying not to sink into the San Andres fault or LA tar pit of despair. Every emotion from past beyond time, we do not even remember, sticks to us like an electrical charge and winter dust particles.  emotional tar and feathers has a way of sticking to you until you are ready to let go. Most times it is all about self and not another.

During this time of cleaning and purification we are all stripped down to our emotional birthday suit  trying to catch a cool breeze. The feeling of drowning is seems real as we learn to swim in deeper waters.  The dross is consumed by the summer phoenix star alignment as it flies thru the fires over and over again.

Hold tight to whatever is your blessing, as it will keep you a float until the tides are clear. Distraction and pending disaster keeps everyone busy. Running about and amuck like the mad hatter we leave the tea party, seeking the many rabbit holes of possibly.  Meeting your mark is not necessarily a date with destiny, for what you marked thru out history is as varied as apples in a cherry orchard.  the water level changes as the world swims into the month of liquid learnings from see to shining sea

‘Day out of time Portal’

On July 25th we enter the day out of time portal, a place were all and nothing exists simultaneously. A powerful place of flux that could tie the ‘string theory in a bow’. The Mayan ‘day out of time’ is the last day of the galactic year in the Mayan calendar. This day is observed as a day free of time, a day of reverence. This ‘free day’ re-aligns the 13 Moon calendar to the solar year. It is aligned with the feminine aspect of nature and reckons them in time.

Each and every day we need to allow a few moments and ‘step out of time’ to realign and reckon our energies. To swim in the void for that timeless minute and realign with your heart and souls desire. Everything you had given up on and tossed to the wind landed in the sacred place known as ‘the day out of time’. The energies are loud and dynamic as we swim along the shorelines parallel trying to avoid the time rip tides. The sun explodes in all of her glory exposing her underbelly to all.

Weekly LightBlast: Foretelling Futures

a message from Jamye Price

To read more of Jamye’s insight, please visit her website, Jamye Price

Blessed Being, as always, you are at a culmination point and a point of focus creating the future. This multidimensional time flow is the truth of your linearity. The past is within All, All past is within you. The future is forming in your now moment, though not yet visible—it’s full culmination into form depending on many moments. Your resonance is ever culminating and ever creating. What Future will your resonance Foretell?
This is an exciting time. You are culminating into an illumined being that connects, that informs with an amplified Light of Love.

Your empathic nature is your clue to connection. Have you become strong enough to feel and transform? Have you become strong enough to understand and apply change? What is your comfort level with your connective nature, that you are connected to those that are not of your same Loving focus? Is it culminating into a point of focus that sees beyond the point into the whole?

Your empowered Love is your resonance that Foretells your Future.

Fear disconnects, it dims. It is loud, but not enlightened. Perfect as it is, for it is a mechanism of resonance that creates an individual that chooses to evolve beyond it. All experience offers a choice of evolution or devolution, of connection or disconnection. Yet the details of these must be chosen by an individual in a moment. In one moment a “yes” may evolve you, in another—the opposite. Do not fear the “incorrect” answer, for all answers create and continue to call you to more empowered Love. It is the nature of evolution. Movement creates.

Your physical individuality is a clue that you, as an individual, must be so in Love with Life that the Love of Self is first paramount. For when an individual chooses for the Self from true Love, All Life is benefited. In this state, all that is chosen will have been observed through your powerful empathic connection with Life. This creates a being that is connected, enlightened with Love, and creating a future of empowered individuals—diverse, divine, united.

Choice is the door to connection, only an individual can choose to open it and walk through.

Foretelling Futures is no longer a matter of prediction, to speak words of possibility as if they are fact. It is now your time to inform the future, to speak loudly with your Love, your choice, your energy, your flow. This involves commanding your own energy and boldly emanating your choices into your future. Apathy, non-participation, anger or fear suppression, allowing your victimhood or feeling of powerlessness to dominate yourself—these all effect your future. With this resonance, you are Foretelling a Future of the same.

Participate first with your own healing to empower your Inner Being, then begin to add the outer world into your focus and connect more. This requires a courage of authenticity with yourself that is paramount for your empowerment.

Do not fear your own authenticity. If it is present, instead of letting your anger or fear implode within you, most often in ways unseen as a direct connection, allow it to transform into a new doorway for yourself and the choice of others. Your positive thinking, with the resonance of denial and avoidance, has no value of creating. Your positive thinking, with the resonance of courage to trust yourself and Life, creates a new available doorway. Always there, yet now available, the veil has been lifted, your resonance has aligned. Your future responds.

As we sit to Blast Foretelling Futures, we are boldly emanating our Love into our lives, unabashedly choosing to connect with Life. We are observing our healthy boundaries, a flow that honors sharing rather than just sacrifice. We are authentic in our feelings and allowing the evolution to begin within and grow exponentially with the co-creation of Life. We are empowered, amplified, and Lighting up our world, signaling the cosmos that our Light has won our world. The battle, it was inside us first, but we found our Light. We are never letting fear or foe dim our Divinity again. Our Future isinformed. Blast on!

Travectio Equitum/Rowana

In ancient Rome, this was the parade of the cavalry in front of the temple of Castor and Pollux, the great Twin Horsemen, men, to thank them for their part in the victory of Lake Regillus in 496 B.c. The parade consisted of 5,000 riders wearing purple togas with red stripes and decorated with olive garlands.

This day is sacred to the Goddess of the rowan tree, Rowana-patroness of the secret knowledge of runes. The wood of the rowan tree is used for making protection amulets, and the wood is especially efficacious when cut on this day.

Magickal Fridays

Friday falls at the end of the work week for many of us, and that means we get a chance to relax for a little bit! Mark your Fridays with colors like pink and aqua, and metals such as copper. This is a day ruled by the planet Venus, so it should be no surprise that Venus and Aphrodite – goddesses of love and beauty – are associated with Fridays. This is a day named for the Norse goddess Freyja, so be sure to take a moment to honor her as well.

Gemstones associated with Friday include coral, emerald and rose quartz, and plants like strawberries, apple blossoms and feverfew are also related. This is a good day to do spellwork associated with family life and fertility, sexuality, harmony, friendship, growth. Take advantage of Friday’s correspondences and plant a seed, make something grow, and enjoy your blessings

*Note: There are a lot of disputes as to the origins of the word Friday, because there is still a great deal of discussion as to whether it was named for Freyja or Frigga, and whether they were the same deity or two separate ones. Some scholars believe that while they may have eventually become two distinctly different goddesses, they could have had their origins in a single, common Proto-Germanic deity.

The Witches Friday

Friday is traditionally considered the sixth day of the week, falling between Thursday and Saturday, as it does in countries that adopt a Sunday-first convention (see Days of the week for more on the different conventions). In countries adopting the Monday-first, and, in work-based conventions, it is the fifth day of the week.

The name Friday comes from the Old English frigedæg, meaning the day of Frige the Anglo-Saxon form of Frigg, the Germanic goddess of beauty. In most Germanic languages it is named after Freyja—such as Freitag in Modern German, vrijdag in Dutch, fredag in Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish—but Freyja and Frigg are frequently identified with each other. The word for Friday in most Romance languages is derived from the name of Venus such as vendredi in French, venerdì in Italian, viernes in Spanish, and vineri in Romanian. In Hindi, Friday is Shukravar, named for Shukra, the Sanskrit name of the planet Venus. Russian uses an ordinal number for this day of the week– piatnítsa, meaning “fifth.” Similarly, the Portuguese is sexta-feira.

The modern reason why Friday the 13th is considered unlucky is said to come from Friday October the 13th, 1307. On this date, the Pope of the church in Rome in conjunction with the King of France, carried out a secret death warrant Against “the Knights Templar”. The Templars were terminated as heretics, never again to hold the power that they had held for so long. The Grand Master, Jacques DeMolay, was arrested and before he was killed, was tortured and crucified. The destruction of the Templar Knights was so complete and terrible that it will always be remembered as an unlucky day.

Astrology
In astrology Friday is connected with the planet Venus. This associates Friday with love, peace, and relaxation, as well as, with emotional intensity and quashed dreams. And also is connected with the Astrological sign Libra.

Today We Celebrate…

Mount Fuji Climbing (Japan)
FUCHI

Themes: Inspiration; Courage; Safety (protection); Fire (ancient); Skill (sports); Relationships

Symbols: Mountains; Fire

About Fuchi:
This goddess gave her name to the sacred volcano Fujiyama. As a fire goddess, she rules natural energy (heat) sources, and also those generated in our hearths, homes, and hearts. This energy, along with summer’s sun, joins together in our life today, generating strength, endurance, keen vision, and relationships filled with genuine warmth.

To Do Today: July and August mark the climbing season at Mount Fuji. For most people, attempting this is a pilgrimage of sorts dedicated to “climbing the mountain because it’s there.” On a deeper level, however, the mountain houses the deities of Shinto tradition, challenging all who dare visit to stretch their limits and do their very best. While most of us can’t go to Japan to visit the goddess in her abode, we can climb stairs to help us reconnect with Fuchi’s uplifting powers. Today, instead of using elevators, climb stairs whenever and wherever possible. As you do, visualize the area(s) in your life that could use a boost from Fuchi’s energy, those areas that really challenge you somehow, or those where emotional warmth seems lacking. When you reach the top, claim your reward with some type of affirmation (such as I am strong, I am loving), and then act on this change with conviction!
