TAROT CARD MEANINGS

You are in the right place at the right time.

General Meaning

The Sun card is about the self — who you are and how you cultivate your personality and character. The Sun’s radiance is where one’s original nature can be encountered in health and safety. The limitations of time and space are stripped away; the soul is refreshed and temporarily protected from the chaos outside the garden walls. Under the light of the Sun, life reclaims its primordial goodness, truth, and beauty. If one person is shown on this card, it is usually signifying a human incarnation of the divine. When two humans are shown, the image is portraying a resolution of the tension between opposites at all levels. It’s as if this card is saying “You can do no wrong — it’s all to the good!”

In the Advice Position

Let your light shine. Be confident in the sacred power of your original nature.

The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.

The Sun card advises you to have confidence in your natural divinity. Throw off any cultural conditioning that keeps you from being authentic with yourself. Step into the full light of truth and reveal your motives and principles. Once done, you will no longer give away power to the people that criticize and shame you. Focus on the positive and the real. Your authentic shining self can be a light for others if you project it without contrivance.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, March 11th

Aries

You’re dealing with competing urges today, dear Aries, largely between going it alone and sharing your activities with a companion. As much as possible, try not to procrastinate or commit to something that seems a little beyond your means today. In an effort to do it all, you may overreach and regret it later. Taming restlessness can go a long way towards having a good day, and with your ruler, Mars, in parallel aspect with Venus, there can be fantastic opportunities to enjoy yourself. Old personal plans or pursuits can capture (or recapture) your interest, and you can have a lot of fun with them. Of course, old problems may emerge now, but resolving them can lift a burden from you and life feels that much easier as a result.

Taurus

Relationships energize you today, dear Taurus, and you can be feeling particularly motivated to get what you want or to pursue your desires. Personal appeal is strong, although you can also be a little retiring and not very easy to get close to just for now. As well, you have a tendency to weigh pros and cons rather than jump into action now. You experience equally powerful pulls to socialize and to do your duties now, and it can be difficult to settle on any one thing. This can either keep you on the fence and in a state of limbo or overdoing something when it would be better to blend and compromise.

Gemini

You are less decisive today than you have been, dear Gemini, and this is a sign to make adjustments rather than forge ahead. Take steps to narrow things down, pace yourself, and prioritize if you feel a little overwhelmed. Wait a couple of days before launching new projects or buying big items, just to be sure you maintain interest in these things. Expectations of others, or of your own goals, may be too high, and adjustments need to be considered. If you can rise above the minor irritations of the day, you can recognize clear opportunities to enjoy yourself, particularly with friends or throwing yourself into ventures that excite you.

Cancer

You are eager to learn and experience new things these days with a strong emphasis on your adventure sector, dear Cancer, but you might find yourself very frequently house-bound and really quite enjoying the peace and comfort of this position. Today you can feel a little torn between sticking to what’s familiar and chasing a new experience. Allow your thoughts to wander, but take more care when making the bigger decisions. Plans may not get off the ground just for now, but this is a temporary condition. If you stay on the fence, you are likely to feel like you’ve missed out, so you’ll need to decide whether to adjust your expectations, find a compromise, or make a decision and own it.

Leo

The Sun (your ruler) forms a minor but challenging aspect with Jupiter today, dear Leo, and interactions with others may not go especially smoothly just for now. You may be wavering between keeping things light and taking things a little further. Mixed signals can be the result. This is a time for adjusting your expectations if you’ve been overshooting. Enthusiasm can run high but then fall suddenly, much like a sugar high. There can be some opportunities for pleasure and enjoyment emerging now, and you’ll have better luck with them if you aim to let go of the tendency to overthink.

Virgo

It can be difficult to feel truly satisfied today, dear Virgo, as an awkward angle between the Sun and Jupiter can divide your interests. The key is to get over the idea that you need to go hard or not at all. Moderation can be difficult to practice today but will help bring you down to earth, ready to see and grab the opportunities of the day. Focus on freeing yourself of unnecessary mental burdens. Relationships can feel a little out of sync, but merely need adjustments, particularly when it comes to expectations of one another and of the relationship itself. Avoiding big purchases or business decisions may be wise.

Libra

You can be anxious to help others or get your work done today, dear Libra, but you also have a strong need to do things independently or to pursue personal interests. This dilemma can only be resolved by toning things down and compromising, but it can be challenging getting to that state. Decisions about work or health can be difficult to make today. You can be in an indulgent mood, often feeling more like relaxing than working, yet not truly comfortable if you let things go. The tendency to gloss over problem areas is strong, and as a result, decisions made now may not be very wise. Even so, if you can act moderately, you’re in great shape to enjoy the creative opportunities coming your way now.

Scorpio

Decisions can weigh on you quite heavily today, dear Scorpio, and the answer may be to avoid overdoing things. Moderation is wise right now, but difficult to practice with the Sun and Jupiter in aspect. You have equally strong desires to connect with others and to keep to yourself right now, but if you get too hung up on decision making, you can miss out on getting much of anything accomplished. This is a day for making adjustments and compromises that are not especially straightforward but necessary. Clarity will come in your personal life within a couple of days.

Sagittarius

Conflicts between sticking with what’s familiar and breaking new ground can emerge today, dear Sagittarius, and for many, this may instead be about trying to balance your social and familial life and having trouble deciding how to do it all. You can swing between remaining in a state of limbo to acting upon impulse today, but it’s better to find the middle road and aim for moderation. You don’t need to go hard in more than one area now. If you can manage to resist pressures from others, this is an intense day for creative thinking. You can be filled with a need to create, connect, and share, and some of your motivation can be to capture someone’s interest.

Capricorn

Routines and regular life seem particularly dull to you today, dear Capricorn, but restlessness is likely to irritate you until you tame expectations, which can be way too high right now. There can be equally powerful and competing desires to produce and accomplish, as well as to pursue your personal interests or explore your options. Becuase you’re only human after all, you can’t manage both at once, so aim to tone things down. Otherwise, you’re likely to be stuck in limbo, not quite satisfied with anything that transpires. There could be a misstep in a work matter or a disconnect with a boss or parent. Wires can get crossed. The chances of being misquoted also run high. However, there can be quite a bit of enjoyment at home or with family today.

Aquarius

You can feel on one hand that you want to do something out of the ordinary and explore new places or ideas, dear Aquarius, and on the other, the need to get comfortable. This is due to the Sun in your resources sector encouraging you to play it safe and stick to what you know brings you pleasure in an awkward aspect with Jupiter in your adventure and spirit sector stimulating the desire to branch out and trying something entirely new. Attempt to dream up ways to satisfy both your freedom-seeking side and your equally strong need to keep things straightforward and familiar, and aim for moderation so that whatever you decide to do doesn’t feel overwhelming.

Pisces

You’ve had some great days for thinking and expressing yourself, dear Pisces, and today you may need to give things a rest. Try not to overthink. However, if you are leaning towards making a commitment today, make sure you are considering all the factors. You might end up taking on a challenge or project that eventually becomes a burden, as there is a tendency to overestimate your interest in something or underestimate the time and energy that you’d need to complete it. Today is excellent, however, for putting new spins on old ideas, as well as for renewed interests and finding something valuable to you that you’d lost. Do your best to enjoy the moment.

If You Were Born Today, March 10

This is a powerful birthday. You are meant to rule or lead in some manner. Even with a sensitive Pisces Sun sign, you are also a very proud and determined person who is charming and attractive. You are a trendsetter, always looking forward. Independent and self-reliant, you do best in a job in which you set the pace and the schedule. You have many ideas how to improve the world around you, and you have an unmistakable idealistic streak. Famous people born today: Carrie Underwood, Chuck Norris, Sharon Stone, Shannon Tweed, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, Paul Haggis.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

Pluto transits sextile your Sun this year, and your attitude towards life is changing. What used to satisfy you may not continue to do so, particularly if your goals have been superficial or a poor reflection of your inner desires. You are no longer willing to make compromises in the important areas of your life, particularly with regards to career and your life path. You are more determined this year, and it’s an excellent time for getting rid of bad habits. This is a year in which to get your life back on track, as you have the willpower to do so. Others are bound to recognize your leadership skills and talents, or, at the very least, your potential. You want your life path and your objectives to reflect what you’re really about. You benefit from being more decisive than usual, and your ability to concentrate and focus help you to achieve what you set out to do. A new project or goal begun this year has a good chance of being successful and long-lasting.

You also benefit from a supportive Jupiter transit beginning in December, and you have a stronger than usual desire to improve, grow, and learn. This is a fortunate aspect that helps boost optimism and confidence, and you are able to attract fortunate circumstances into your life as a result. Problems are easier to resolve. Matters related to universities, higher education, organized religion, publishing, legal affairs, and foreign interests can be especially strong. It’s a strong time to further your education. You are likely to enjoy a larger perspective on matters that keeps you from getting lost in details or overly frustrated by everyday stresses.

You can find satisfying channels for directing your energies during this period, and you might enjoy increased focus or dedication to a project.

This is a potentially excellent year for putting dreams into motion and giving life to your ideas. You are capable of very hard work when you’re inspired, and you can produce some pretty fantastic things now.

You are willing to put in the effort for a mental interest or project, and you can feel pleasantly dedicated to your work or ideas. You are more able to focus on what you’re doing and communicating, and you are more inclined to notice and consider details.

Mars harmonizes with Saturn around the time of your birthday this year, helping to ground you. Work is solid this year, and you can see results from your efforts, or at least foresee success down the road. This gives you a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. Practice or refining a technique is favored this year. The approach that seems to work best with this aspect is a step-by-step one, with modest ambitions and the appreciation of slow but steady progress.

You may gain some profound new insights into your life this year. You can be especially persuasive and convincing in your communications, whether written or oral, and your perceptions are especially acute. You are inclined to do a lot of “digging”, researching, analyzing, investigating, and getting to the bottom of things. Increased psychological awareness of yourself and others can benefit you greatly, and employing strategy in your decision making is easier than usual this year. Relationships with younger people may be especially rewarding and meaningful. There may be a project, idea, or person that demands much of your attention or occupies much of your thoughts. It’s a strong year for any project or studies that require concentrated effort. You are especially resourceful.

You’re able to bring both enthusiasm and practicality to your endeavors this year. It’s a potentially excellent year for making positive lifestyle changes and for dedication to your work or special projects. You are more patient than usual, having the follow-through to finish what you start. When you are motivated, you can accomplish great things, bringing new life to old goals. 

2017 is a Number Five year for you. Ruled by Mercury. This is a year of exploration and freedom. It’s a time when exploration and reaching out to others brings opportunities. It’s a good time to advertise and sell. Surprises are in store, and the routine is broken. This is a year when exciting relationships can be formed or, if you are already in a partnership, new life is breathed into the relationship. Advice – explore, look for adventure, keep your eyes open for opportunities, mingle.

2018 will be a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It is a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are able to attract others, and material things as well, this year. This is a good year for establishing harmony in the family and in the home. Advice – develop existing relationships, be positive and receptive because these kinds of energies help you to attract what you desire.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, March 10th

Aries

After a few days of assessing or analyzing situations, dear Aries, today you’re more focused on the human element. Mercury and Chiron align in your privacy sector, and this can prompt an inventory of your feelings, a new approach to understanding a tricky situation, or the playing of a supportive role to others. You may be opening up about a personal issue, or you could be listening to someone else’s big reveal. Either way, an open mind helps. Unloading a mental burden may figure strongly now. Today is also suitable for home and family-related work or commitment. Devoting yourself to a domestic project or family activities can be particularly bolstering and fruitful.

Taurus

With Mars now in your sign, you’re a little more assertive and quicker to take action, dear Taurus, and today, these qualities help you attract the right situations and people into your life. The creative juices are flowing. You’re in a particularly excellent position to open up communications with friends, siblings, and possibly even neighbors for some of you. It’s a good day for getting the information you need, for test results, or for a resolution to a problem that has been weighing on your mind. Conversations can be revealing and extraordinarily open and exciting, and this impacts friendships, both platonic and romantic. You might be freed from a problem or a burden. You may be feeling a sense of creative renewal, and in fact, this is a good time to begin anew on a creative level.

Gemini

Today is particularly strong for intuitive insight into money, work, life direction, and earning power, dear Gemini. You’re also in particularly good shape in your emotional life today. You may be laying low to some degree, but also quite active, perhaps behind the scenes. You are driven be productive or to take part in constructive activities, but you’re not necessarily seeking attention. There is much openness to conversations and more willingness to learn, and you may assume the role of a guide or teacher now. Positive reinforcement is the best approach in both professional and personal worlds today. You may feel that you’re turning over a new leaf when it comes to communicating more openly. When it comes to ideas, mainly related to work or business, yours are particularly uniquely your own, and you’re not afraid to go your own way with them. Others may be recognizing your words of wisdom, even if it’s something you’ve said in the past.

Cancer

There can be a pleasant focus on putting ideas into motion or communicating with the goal of taking action on a matter today, dear Cancer. You are particularly interested in making progress now. People are sensitive today, and this can be in both the touchy and compassionate meaning of the word, to varying degrees. You are inclined to express more compassion, and your words are more inclusive and caring. You might take particular care making sure that others understand the intentions behind your words. People are sensitive but willing to learn today, and there can be a nice feeling of liberation on a mental level. You want to learn, grow, and improve, and this is reflected in your communications. Conversations can be gateways to fascinating new information and interests. Someone’s unique perspective may inspire you or you might be the one doing the inspiring!

Leo

Mars has just reached the top of your solar chart and has begun working on your drive and ambition to set and meet goals, dear Leo, and today’s Moon gently supports and encourages this. Your practical side emerges later today, and the desire to build, grow, and improve is pressing. You’ve had an unusually good week for gaining new insight into your feelings and relationships, and today continues this theme. Your instincts for research are spot on – you seem to gravitate to the information you need most naturally. Deeper thinking is also favored now. Topics that are typically rather sensitive or complicated can be addressed fruitfully. You can thoroughly enjoy going your own way with your thoughts and ideas, and others may appreciate your wonderfully unusual and unique approach to understanding motivations. You can be especially inspired by an idea that leads you down a new path or that sets off interesting tangents of thought.

Virgo

The day may begin a little sluggishly, dear Virgo, but energies seem to work increasingly in your favor as the day advances, and enthusiasm builds. The Moon enters your sign late afternoon and then harmonizes with Mars, and you may feel liberated from a problem, at least temporarily. A change of pace or scenery can do you a world of good. Mercury and Chiron come together in your partnership sector, improving conversations. Even if openness is surprising or leaves you feeling vulnerable, it has the power to redirect you and motivate you to start anew, particularly in a relationship. An opportunity to clear up a problem with someone can emerge. Conversations can be revealing, perhaps to the point that it feels a little too much so, but ultimately helpful.

Libra

While you may begin the day in a pleasure-seeking, playful frame of mind, dear Libra, the desire to get things going or work towards your goals increases as the day advances. Fortunately, you have plenty of cosmic support for this. Discoveries made now can be useful. It seems that thinking outside of the box or following your instincts with work, health, and wellness work particularly well for you today. This can be an important day for discovering information or solving a problem that clears the path for new beginnings. You might come across new ways to heal or to improve your health. Helping or guiding others comes naturally to you today. The Moon moves into your privacy sector late afternoon, and the urge to pull back from pressures and demands is strong. You need a break!

Scorpio

This is a potentially excellent day for joining with others to accomplish something constructive, dear Scorpio, or for invigorating activities with a partner or friend. You can have a pleasant feeling coming from a sense of devotion or commitment. There can be cathartic release through a creative pursuit or a meaningful conversation with someone you care about. Communications and thoughts focus on healing and resolving problems and the bigger picture, although they can certainly get into tricky territory today. You are going your own way when it comes to ideas about how to best approach matters related to romance, fun, entertainment, art, and children, and you can benefit greatly from doing so. Thinking about these things in a more holistic way can be particularly useful right now.

Sagittarius

You can find satisfying channels for directing your energies today, dear Sagittarius, particularly through intensive or passion projects. You can feel particularly dedicated to your loved ones or home life right now, and significant conversations or deep thinking and insights can occur now related to home, family, and your personal past. Resolving conflicts or solving problems can figure strongly again today, but now you’re looking at things less for their details and more from a larger, wider perspective. Conclusions can be rather satisfying this way. In fact, stress can lessen as you see the big picture. You stand to learn much through open and humble communications right now.

Capricorn

Mars has just moved into your sector of pleasure and self-expression, dear Capricorn, and today, the Moon supports Mars, helping you get off to a good start within the framework of this transit. You may be seeking out new ways to explore the world and make an impact on others around you today. You are ready to experiment, but you can also feel pleasantly dedicated to a project or goal. You’ve had excellent energy for analyzing and paying attention to details recently, but today, you benefit from seeing things from a larger perspective – you are looking at problems as a whole, and this can benefit you tremendously, helping you to move on, draw conclusions, and gain perspective. There can be revealing conversations that open your heart. You may be supporting someone through a difficult stretch or offering helpful advice.

Aquarius

This is a suitable day for working through personal matters, dear Aquarius, but it’s also quite excellent for attention to your practical affairs. You’ve had special insight into your money situation and practical goals this week, but today, you’re looking at the same things in a new way, approaching problems from a holistic angle. This allows you to understand a problem further and perhaps draw conclusions. This is a good time for assessing money matters and for making responsible purchases. On another level, there can be a healthy distancing from a recent dilemma that allows you to gain perspective. You may find a reason to put more faith into a person or situation. You are also ready to come to someone’s defense if need be now.

Pisces

This is a potentially excellent time for clearing away problems, dear Pisces, or at least getting a better handle on how to resolve them. You are particularly productive today, and you see yourself and your life far more clearly. Recently, you’ve been focusing on the details, sometimes getting lost in them, but today, you’re looking at the same things in a new way. You are likely to find especially satisfying channels for directing your feelings and personal energy, and you are likely to feel motivated and dedicated. With Mercury and Chiron coming together in your sign later today, you’re in a strong position to express your ideas or point of view, as well as for going your own way and shining in others’ eyes as you do. This influence sparks especially creative, unique, and helpful ideas. Interactions can be progressive and revealing, although perhaps a little sensitive, as is often the case when we are encouraged to grow.

Stay Calm During March Madness

a message from Selacia

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

March begins with a fiery energy, adding tensions on the world stage and within individuals seeking a respite from turbulence unfolding as 2017 began. Continue reading for tips on how to stay calm and find your center. Doing that regularly throughout the month is your key to progress on many fronts, including work and spiritual breakthroughs.

Progress Potentials

Despite the craziness playing out in the world, you indeed have many potentials to move forward this month.

One helpful factor is that there is an energy of change in the air. While that’s normal in many respects, the March energies support taking more risk and applying what you know with more confidence.

As you read those words, you likely connect with some ideas of practical application. Example: a project you want to take to the next level could benefit from your focus and action. Likewise, a new habit or even a new way of presenting yourself could be created.

On days when you feel intensity, step back and use spiritual alchemy so the intensity works for you and not against you. How? One way is to channel the intensity into something that stirs your passion. This is a way to supercharge a creative project or other activity.

Creatives know that some of the best songs and books are written during tense and difficult times. Use the material of your life for good.

March Goals

In the early days of March, consider making a short goals list of projects you want to manifest and situations you want to shift. If you keep your list specific and limited to 3-5 things, it may be easier to stay focused and on track.

Once you have your list, be sure to energize it daily with intentions and visualizing. The idea is to imagine the outcome as though it’s here now, with your enjoying the fruits. Avoid projecting it into the future, or it remains a future goal.

Do not be stingy with yourself. Remember that you are the creator of your life. Set the bar high and see yourself achieving your dreams.

You are a divine changemaker after all!

Calming Tips

To remain calm during March’s bumpy times, come back to basics. These include daily grounding and centering – essential for clear inner guidance, inner peace, and outer world success. You can’t be too grounded or too centered this month.

Also helpful will be taking short breaks from routine, sitting, and technology. Get up and out of your usual setting often, moving your body and your consciousness into different environments. Observe people enjoying the day, also taking moments to smile at strangers.

At least once daily become still and go within to ask this simple question: “What is the gift of X situation or dilemma?” The answer to that can help you move into a higher view that includes gratitude and perhaps even foresight about how a successful outcome can be achieved.

Energy Markers

Energy markers this month include the full moon in Virgo on the 12th, the change of seasons with the Aries equinox on the 20th, and a supercharged Aries new moon on the 27th. On such high-energy days, allow for heightened sensitivity and volatile situations. Strive to use the expanded energies for the good of yourself and others. Daily remind yourself that there is a higher purpose for your life, and even for current challenging life circumstances. Trust that divine right action helps you as a soul to live your best life.

Aspects of the Moon in Virgo

After the progressed Moon in Leo has passed, and the individual is convinced they are royalty and cannot do any wrong – the progressed moon moves into Virgo, and we don’t feel like we’re all that, anymore. Truly, this is a humbling tough lesson. The needs change abruptly. It would be like the king surveying his kingdom and not having a housekeeper for those 2 1/2 years and looking around and say, ”Oh dear, I guess I better clean up the place.” And not just cleaning up the physical space, but the inner space, as well. This could be a time of awareness of one’s personal health issues and get him one and start taking care of them. The real work here is about self-improvement – not self-abnegation or being self-critical, although that can be a part of it – but self constructive work. This is truly an opportunity for self-examination in minute detail. Bottom line – and “getting it right” within one’s self.

Witchery for Your Fridays

Love magick is a perennial popular topic. However, there is more to this topic than meets the eye. There are many enchanting layers here for us to explore on this day of the week. What about creating a loving home, or producing a loving and nurturing family? What about keeping your intimate relationships vital and on track? How about promoting happy, healthy, and enduring friendships? See, there is more to be considered than just the “You shall be mine…” type of fictional love spell.

Don’t forget that many of the deities associated with Fridays are also parents. So, yes, while this is the day to work on romance, sex, and love spells, there is additional magick to be considered here, which makes Fridays a more well-rounded and bigger opportunity for witchery than many folks ever truly realize. The truest, strongest magick always comes from the heart.

The Witches Guide to Fridays

Ruler: Freya, Venus

Colors: Emerald green or pink

Power Hours: Sunrise and the 8th, 16th, and 24th hours following.

Key Words: Love, money, health

It is easy to spot the ruler of this day by its name. In the word Friday, we see the roots of the name of the Norse goddess Freya, a goddess of love and fertility, and the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses thus the verse “Friday’s child is loving and giving.”

In Spanish this day of the week is called Viernes and is derived from the goddess Venus. Matters of love, human interaction, the fluidity of communication, sewing and the creation of artistic garments, household improvement, shopping, and party planning all fall under the aspects of Friday and its ruling planet, Venus.

Friday’s angels are Ariel/Uriel, Rachiel, and Sachiel. Rachiel also concerns himself with human sexuality and is a presiding spirit of the planet Venus.

On Fridays, the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Venus, and that makes these times of the day doubly blessed. These four hours are the strongest four hours for conducting ritual.

Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.
