If You Were Born Today, June 26

You are wonderful at organizing and directing, but you are not afraid of hard work either. In fact, your success generally comes from your own efforts. You may need to make a conscious attempt not to live in the past, as this tendency is very strong and can sometimes keep you from moving forward. You have a strong idealistic streak that can lead to a colorful romantic life, but also quite emotional. Famous people born today: Pearl S. Buck, Peter Lorre, Chris O’Donnell, Ariana Grande, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Sean Hayes.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

Saturn forms an opposition to your Sun until October (since February). Saturn calls upon you to identify the weaker areas of your life and to fix or strengthen them. Take the time to sort out details, improve your work, and become more efficient. Taking a slow and steady approach to life is necessary during this period. 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. Relationships may be (or seem) more challenging than usual while Saturn opposes your Sun.

You have Uranus transiting in harmony to your Sun from May 2019 forward helping you along, and exciting (not jarring) changes and new interests are likely. It’s easier than usual 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 during this period. 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 under this influence.

You might often get frustrated if results of your actions are not instant, but it’s best to cultivate some patience when it comes to realizing your goals. As well, if you are not getting the results you crave, consider that you might be aiming too high or too wide.

Venus in hard aspect to Jupiter in your Solar Return chart brings love and romance into your life, but you could encounter problems due to overblown expectations or excessive behavior. You may overindulge and would do well to strike a balance between pleasures and the obligations of daily life.

If there are health issues this year, look for blockages or constrictions since Saturn is involved with the Node.

Idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface this year. Making connections with others from different backgrounds may figure strongly. Widening your mind through unusual or different experiences can be part of the picture. You more easily make personal sacrifices for what you believe to be the greater good this year.

You’re firming up some areas of your life until October, and this can be a period of harder work and discipline and perhaps some challenges. However, as the year advances, you’re sure to feel freer and attract more positivity into your life. Some relationships may be feisty or complicated and there can be a significant break in your social life, but improvements are possible. With work, you’re expanding your interests in satisfying ways.

2018 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.

2019 will be a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It’s generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice – take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.

I am speechless. I honestly don’t know what to say. How do you thank someone for saving your life? How do you? From the time I made our first post and had to get off the internet because of the tornado warning, the money came in to purchase the medicine I need to survive. I have always prided myself on being rather calm, laid back and sort of hard hearted. My experiences over the years had made me that way. I would still like to think I am calm and laid back but not heart hearted anymore. You have changed that so very much. When I opened our PayPal account, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had to take a second look. Then this old witch (I ain’t that old, now) broke down and cried. I have met a lot of people over the years. I don’t believe any of them have ever shown me the love and caring you all have. Most of them want to befriended me then stab me in the back. None of them were friends. In fact, I never really started to know the meaning of friendship till we came here. I have met so many wonderful, loving individuals at this site. You are caring and compassionate and I believe you love to make me cry. There is no way I can ever thank you for what you have done for me this time, you saved my life, literally.

When I opened the PayPal account, I started sobbing. Eleanor and Lynette thought that there was something else wrong with me until they saw what I was looking at. They started crying also. In fact, we all have been crying. You can’t imagine what it is like to be at the edge, thinking your days are numbered and then suddenly being  pulled back. It is breath-taking. You have to stop and pinch yourself to make sure it is real. And, oh yes, it is very real. Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much. The feelings I have right now for you are indescribable. I wish I could come to everyone of your houses and give you a great big hug, kiss and tell you, “I love you” in person. Unfortunately, I can’t do that. But I want you to know I love you and I always will. You are my family and what a family you are. I have never been so proud and honored to call anyone brothers, sisters and family as I have all of you.

I guess I clean out that chatroom now and we have that celebration of life and blessing ritual, what’cha say? First though, I would like to honor those who helped me in my most darkest hour. Say a prayer for them, ask the Goddess to bless them and also thank the Goddess they were given the hearts and compassion they have. Know you will always have a very special place in my heart and if there is anything, and I mean anything I can do for you do not hesitate to ask. That’s what family is for.

I didn’t put your last name because of security reason especially since I am the one preaching about security but you know who you are. Thank you so very much. I would also like to thank those who sent prayers, blessings, healing energy and lite candles for me. I don’t know your name, I wish I did. Because it seems like it takes a village to heal a witch these days, lol! I should mention Lynette just flew out of here with the prescription to get the medicine. Pfizer told Eleanor it would take about 3 to 4 weeks to get me on their program. So it looks like you are stuck with me for a bit longer. Thank the Goddess and each of you!

I will be announcing when we are going to have our ritual and celebration. I have to check with Lady Beltane and make sure it doesn’t interfere with any of her plans. Then I will let you know. What a night it will be! Praise the Goddess!

I love you,

Lady A

Good Tuesday Morning, my sweets! How are you doing today? Up and ready to kick the world in the rump? I will make this short I promise, I know once I get going I don’t have sense enough to hush. I might get hushed before I am ready to quit talking. We have some severe thunderstorms rolling through here again. I believe it has rained 40 days and 40 nights or at least it seems that way. About ready to build the witch’s version of Noah’s Ark, lol! Seriously though, I don’t know if it is the other medication I am on or what but I read Lady Beltane’s post this morning and cried. I got to wondering why does it take facing your own mortality to realize what wonderful friends you have surrounding you and what you have truly been blessed with. The out pouring of love for me in the past few months has been unbelievable. Maybe I have been put in this situation so my eyes will be opened to the many blessings I do have in my life. They say there is a reason for everything, maybe there truly is. Lady Beltane is truly an amazing person. No, amazing isn’t the right word for her, she is a very warm, caring individual who I now know loves me very much. I believe she loves me more than the individuals that are around me on a daily basis(well except for my two sons). She has touched my life in many ways, now to plead for it, made me cry. Thank you Lady B, I do love you, sis.

I do have good news. I am now sitting $175 away from getting the medicine I need to survive. I know Lady B explained to you how the program works so I won’t go into details about it. But I have did a lot of thinking this morning. I have thought back to the wonderful people who have given so freely of themselves so I can survive. At first I honestly didn’t think I would but now I know I am. It is thanks to all of you that my thinking has changed. Love can do so much. It can heal a broken heart, it can provide you comfort and most of all it can give you hope. I didn’t have hope when I came out of the hospital but thanks to you and the love you have shown me, I do now. I was thinking that when the goal to get my medicine is reached what if we have a celebration of life and a blessing ritual for all of you. It is the least I can do for you. We can have it in our old chatroom. I feel it in my soul that I am going to have something to celebrate and I want to celebrate it with each of you. I haven’t told anyone because of all the other issues that keep popping up but I actually when ahead and finished my High Priestess training. I started it when I was still in the mountains and just recently finished it. The Elders have been after me for years to finish it so I did. I want to share my new talents, my new life you have given me and my love with you. I can’t wait. I was thinking what a joyous occasion it would be. I might be putting the cart before the horse but I don’t think so. I want us to have that celebration and I want you to receive a special blessing for all you have done for me. You have enriched my life so and most of all you will be giving me life itself. Just something to mull over because you have done so much for me, I want to do something for you.

Now for the next topic at hand, as you have probably noticed we have been doing the postings two different ways. One way, we run the posts individually giving you the opportunity to comment on them and reblog them. The other way, is the daily digest or journal, rather cramp as far as information goes but…..I want to know which way you prefer. Today we are going to do the posts individually, tomorrow the digest style. I am going to post a poll and I want you to tell us which way you want the daily posts delivered to you. Personally I like the individual ones because you can comment on them and we can communicate back and forth but I will leave the decision up to you. After today’s posts, look for the poll and also tomorrow. When we get the results, we will deliver the daily posts the way you want them.

Well like I said I might get cut off by the weather. Tornado warning was just issued and the sky looks awful. Got to get to the basement. So I am not proofreading this. Think over what I said and when the storm is over, hopefully we will be back and not in Kansas, lol!

Love ya,

Lady A

Good Monday Morning to all our wonderful family & friends! As of yesterday, you heard from Lynette something I did not want to be known to the public. Since it is out, you might as well hear the truth from me. It is true, I am dying. I could have had my spleen removed but I didn’t. I would have had to have this gadget installed inside of me and then a mess on the outside of my body. After seeing the photos of operations they had did like this, I decided not too. I believe if you were in my situation and had seen them too you would have made the same decision. There is a drug that I can take that will remedy this entire situation but it is very costly. I have talked to the people at Pfizer and they told me it takes about a month to get on their program. This program allows you to receive this drug for free. The catch is coming up with the money to make the payments for the drug till you get on their program. As of this date, this goal seems impossible to meet.

I know several of you have made donations toward the purchase of this medication and I do deeply appreciate it. Unfortunately, I am still a long ways off from even coming close to buying the first round of medicine. I have decided today to get off my ass and do some work on the store. My main goal is to get some advertisers and also get it advertised, to get traffic flowing in there once again and start turning a profit. Because my time is running short and I am not ready to leave this world just yet. I have to admit I have been depressed and did nothing to aid in my own survival. But that changes today, I start the fight for my own life.

Due to some of the work I have got to get done today, we will not be on the internet. We will be back tomorrow. I hope you understand and have patience with us especially me. It is high time I got off my ass and fight for my life. We will see you tomorrow. Till then….

If You Were Born Today, 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:

With the Sun and Moon in harmony in your Solar Return chart, the year ahead should be satisfying and balanced overall. You are in comfortable demand and personally popular, and you are able to achieve a decent balance between work and play; personal and professional life. For the most part, you are on top of your game this year, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there is less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!

Saturn forms an opposition to your Sun until September (since January). Saturn calls upon you to identify the weaker areas of your life and to fix or strengthen them. Take the time to sort out details, improve your work, and become more efficient. Taking a slow and steady approach to life is necessary during this period. 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. Relationships may be (or seem) more challenging than usual while Saturn opposes your Sun.

You have Uranus transiting in harmony to your Sun from April forward helping you along, and exciting (not jarring) changes and new interests are likely. It’s easier than usual 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 during this period. 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 under this influence.

Your affections are strongly stimulated this birthday year, and you are more acutely aware of your powers of attraction. You can enjoy an increase in personal magnetism, but be wary of competitiveness or tension in existing love relationships, as your passions are ignited in general, whether they’re feelings of love or anger! Incompatibilities are emphasized in relationships this year, and this can be stimulating on the one hand, and tense on the other. Watch also for impulse buys during this period.

You might often get frustrated if results of your actions are not instant, but it’s best to cultivate some patience when it comes to realizing your goals. As well, if you are not getting the results you crave, consider that you might be aiming too high or too wide.

2018 is a Number Five year for you. Ruled by Mercury. This is a year of discovery and freedom. It’s a time when exploration and reaching out to others brings opportunities. It’s a good time to advertise, promote, and sell. Surprises are in store, and the routine is broken for the better. 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, diversify, mingle.

2019 will be a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It’s a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are especially 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.

The Witches Guide to Sunday

Ruler: Sun

Colors: Gold or yellow

Power Hours: Sunrise and sunset.

Key Words: Love, happiness, health, wealth

It is easy to spot the ruler of this day by its name. Sunday is the day of the sun. Community work, volunteer services, exercise, outdoor sports, buying, selling, speculating, meeting people, anything involving groups, running fairs and raffles, growing crops and taking care of all health matters fall under the influence of the Sun. With all this activity and the brightness of the sun, it’s easy to see why the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

Michael is the primary angel of Sunday but each hour of this day also has it’s secondary angel. These angels are Michael (first hour), Anael (second hour), Raphael (third hour), Gabril (fourth hour), Cassiel (fifth hour), Sachiel (sixth hour), Samael (seventh hour), Michael (eighth hour), Anael (ninth hour), Raphael (tenth hour), Gabriel (eleventh hour), and Cassiel twelfth hour). Notice some of the angels do double duty this day.

On Sundays, (unless you are invoking a specific angelic energy) the hour of sunrise will be the most powerful time to work, especially if you want to infuse energy into your work. Sunset is the second best time and is favored when you need to calm down a situation. Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.

Gypsy Magic

The Magickal Days of the Week — Sunday

In many traditions of Paganism, days of the week are very important aspects of effective spellcasting. For example, spells to do with abundance or prosperity could be done on Thursday, because it is associated with riches and desire. When casting a spell concerning business or communication, one might prefer to work on a Wednesday due to its associations.

While not all traditions follow this rule, when you’re doing any sort of magical working, always be sure to document the day of the week you’re performing the spell.

You might be surprised later on to see some connections!

Sunday Magical Correspondences

Sunday is associated with the colors yellow and gold, which shouldn’t be surprising – it’s the day of the sun, right? Because of this planetary association, this is a day that’s also connected to solar deities like Helios and Ra. Interestingly, in some Celtic traditions, Brighid’s day is Sunday as well.

When it comes to crystal use, Sunday is related to quartz crystals and diamonds, as well as the yellowish hues of carnelian and amber. For herbs and plants in magical workings, use marigolds, sunflowers or cinnamon.

What kind of magic is best performed on Sunday? Well, it’s a day that generally has a number of associations – agriculture, beauty, hope, victory, self-expression and creativity are all connected to this particular day. Plant or harvest something new (not just material crops, but metaphysical ones as well), create something from nothing, and prepare to win at everything.
