Your sex life gains some serious momentum today with the appearance of the Strength card. You have tremendous inner strength when it comes to getting what you want, and that includes sexual conquests. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to try out some new moves, the Strength card urges you to act now! There may be some obstacles in your way, but you welcome any and all challenges. Anyone playing hard to get right now is like putty in your hands.
Has someone promised too much and delivered little lately? If so, that someone lacks integrity. Promises that aren’t kept erode trust and trust is critical. You can’t ignore the fact that their actions do not match their words. The first caveat is to avoid being seduced by what someone is saying as they talk their way into your emotions. The second, and the advice now, is to step back and analyze the situation.
10.25.18
Traditionally, the Five of this suit references the grim and sobering process of cleaning up the battlefield after a conflict. The war as a whole has not been won or lost yet, but in this skirmish there were grievous casualties. This card admonishes the loser to study carefully what went wrong, so that a new strategy can be devised and more setbacks forestalled. There is a need to regroup and rethink the game plan, discover your blind spots and weak links, and take corrective measures before getting back into the field for another round.
In these modern times, when the battle is more often being waged with words, laws and contracts instead of weapons, we have even more reason to examine our approach, our style, strengths and weaknesses. If we have underdeveloped communication skills or lose our objectivity in tense moments, our ability to reach our goals and dreams will decline. But, if we avoid letting ourselves be haunted by the misfortunes and detours that inevitably befall us, we will go on to achieve those goals. Do not obsess. Try to learn something.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:
A Full Moon in your Solar Return chart marks this as a year of great personal significance, when major new beginnings, endings, and activities occur. This period is the culmination of a stage of personal growth and development. Events occurring this year may bring various developments in your emotional, psychological, or spiritual life over the past several years to a head. Relationships are especially important. There can be increased activity in your professional and public life, causing a conflict with your domestic and personal goals. There is little moderation in your life this year. Connections are made or ended, or your job focus may change as one focus fades to make way for a new direction. The year ahead is certain to be a very busy, dynamic, and significant period in your life.
Your mind is often working at top speed and perhaps ahead of itself in the period ahead! You find it easier to assert your desires and opinions. However, there can be times when you’re too hasty or impatient. You might often get frustrated if the results of your actions are not instant, but it’s best to cultivate some patience when it comes to realizing your goals.
Even so, Uranus finishes its transit opposite your Sun in April 2019, and this can help stabilize your life tremendously. Until then, personal freedom issues continue to be in strong focus. Others may seem to be introducing changes into your life, whether you feel ready for them or not. In truth, you are readier than you think! Changes in how you relate to others on a one-to-one level are essential to your personal growth, even if it feels a bit unstable for the time being. Something you have had to give up might now be available to you again, and you need to decide whether you still want it.
With certain projects, you’re willing to go all in, however, and you can feel pleasantly dedicated to your work or ideas. This is a good time for serious and determined study and investigation as long as you’re engaged and motivated. You’re drawn to unexplored topics and ideas as well as looking for truths. You’re persuasive, too! 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.
There may be a project, idea, or person that demands much of your attention or occupies much of your thoughts. You are especially resourceful and determined.
You are, for the most part, optimistic, helpful, and ready to share your wisdom with others. It’s an excellent year for guiding, learning, and sharing. Big picture planning and thinking are in strong focus and quite excellent.
This is a year in which you seek out nourishment and naturally nurture and support others. Needs and cravings are in strong focus, and you’re drawn to those things you feel are more wholesome, healthy, and natural. This can be a year in which you make significant lifestyle improvements and/or positive changes to your home and family life.
Excellent energy is with you for imaginative pursuits. You are more sensitive artistically, your imagination is stirred, and you have an increased appreciation for subtleties. You are inspired and could even inspire others with your words. Some of your hunches could be prophetic. You are thinking more creatively, too.
You’re also quite driven to make improvements and effect positive change in the year ahead. This impacts many areas of your life beyond the personal, including relationships and work.
Certain elements of your social life and financial life are stabilized, secured, and more reliable this year. You may solidify a romantic relationship, enjoy stable energies in an existing partnership, or become involved with a mature partner. Circumstances may be such that you need to handle money more carefully this year, or this may simply come naturally to you now. Support from older people or authority figures may come by way of solid advice or more tangible help. Renewed ties to old friends are possible, or a new sense of responsibility in existing friendships, are also highly likely.
Relationships are in strong focus this year, and you can find yourself in high demand! This is a year of initiative and energy, and it’s a period of powerful and enterprising ideas. Focusing will be the key to success. You are exploring new things, interests, places, and situations this year, and it becomes you! Do watch for impatience in both your actions and communications, however. You certainly have more courage than usual now, but rushing through things can unnecessarily complicate your life. Creativity blossoms in the period ahead.
2018 is a Number One year for you. Ruled by the Sun. This is a year of action. The seeds you plant now, you will reap later. Others might find you less sociable, as you are busier than ever and you focus on your activities and your needs. Still, you are outgoing and your initiative is stronger than ever. Advice – Stand alone, take action, start fresh, express independence.
2019 will be 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.
During the two days after any full moon, it is always helpful to play the role of goodwill ambassador to family members, friends and dear ones around the globe. Giving you a mighty boost is a Venus-Jupiter parallel (7:03am) that can function like a superlative conjunction in the zodiac. Artistic, literary and educational endeavors are glowing with an exalted sheen throughout the day. Be more productive in your main fields of expertise as Ceres forms an inspirational, 72-degree tie to Saturn (4:54pm). Be ready for a big day tomorrow when a potent sun-Venus retrograde union in Scorpio has the capacity to illuminate key issues regarding your primary partnerships.

I believe there are time I really don’t realize how much I can do and can’t do. As you know I am the one who makes daily postings here in this site. I am now also helping out a great friend get his website up and running. It is the Commentary Gazette. He asked me if I could think of a few topics to add to his site that might spark interests in it. I thought about it and decided I would do two categories on “This day in History” and “Today’s Quote.” I think so far I have done maybe four posts over there and feel awful about it. We were joking last night and he asked me what was I going to start doing, “telling people I just flew in on my broom and let them guess what happened today in history.” Of course, he was kidding. I feel bad about not participating anymore than I have but…..I have a tendency to overload my ass at times, lol!
That is not the real reason we are jumping right into things today, I thought I would do another shameless plug while I had your attention, well can’t blame a witch for trying. The reason we are jumping right in is because I have made several promises to different customers in regards to our store. I don’t know if you are aware of it or not but I have took back full control of the store. The store was going to pot and now it is my job to try and turn it around. So in order to keep my word to some of our good customers I have dealt with over the past few years, I have got a ton of work to do over there. I have some merchandise that I have to remove from one of our suppliers that we were getting merchandise from. HA, that’s a laugh, it seems the merchandise that we got from them when we couldn’t get it from our other supplier, never arrived at any of our customers’ doorsteps. I have tried and tried to contact this second supplier and they will not pick the phone up. They probably have caller ID and know it is me calling. The last time I talked to them, we had a rather heated conversation. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but when they are ruining your reputation by not delivering the goods, it is time for them to go. And today they go. I have also promised several people that are looking for certain merchandise that I would go through and make the merchandise in a way that they would know it was for them. I need a secretary, anyone want to apply, lol!
I keep hoping things will slow down but that doesn’t seem likely to happen. I hate having a witchcraft site and not providing some fresh info daily. Tomorrow, if it kills me, we will get back to providing some fresh witchcraft info. Just have patience and hang in there with us.
Now to get busy, I ain’t getting anything done if I keep on talking. You know me once I get started I don’t have sense enough to stop. So I will stop for now, my sweets, and get to work.
Love ya,
Lady A

Created with love on the edge of time
The Silver Goddess so beautifully fine
Her hair of stars and eyes so bright
She bathes the land in her soft moonlight
Lovers caress in her tender glow
She touches hearts and helps love grow
Her magical fingers will touch you too
Her light is her gift to me and you
So when the full moon begins to rise
This Silver Goddess with sparkling eyes
Bathes this land with beams of love
In silent thanks you’ll look above
Unconscious though your glance may be
You’ll look in wonder and you’ll see
Her eyes are looking back at you
And the smile that says “This light is for you”

The black widow. The mistress. Skeletons in your romantic closet. Secretive about money and love. A sexy, magnetic, deliciously irresistible intimate encounter. A healing and transforming bonding experience. Venus in Scorpio has the power to elicit all of this … and more.
Astrology considers Scorpio to be a tough placement for beautiful and sweet Venus. Scorpio isn’t concerned with superficiality, and prefers chasing after a transcendental kind of love. The Scorpion likes to get below the surface to examine issues of power, fear, sex, and desire. When Venus is in Scorpio, Venus trades in social niceties for digging deeply and sparking needed change.
Venus is about relationships, and is sociable, friendly, and affectionate. Scorpio is about passion, and likes to dive headfirst into love. This means we’ll crave meaningful and intense experiences when Venus is in Scorpio. Depth and intimacy become more important, urging us to trade in frivolous flings for long-lasting romance. Love can border on obsessive when Venus is in this sign, compelling us to go all-in when it comes to matters of the heart.
Venus in Scorpio is a time when we’ll want to shine a light on the shadows of our relationships. Those nagging thoughts that we’ve been pushing aside to make peace? Well, they become impossible to ignore when Venus and Scorpio get together. It’s a time to go beneath the surface, find the truth, and hold it up to the light of day. We’ll try to figure out what we can do to make it work — or if it’s time to let go. This transit gives our relationships a major reality check, whether we want one or not!
Venus in Scorpio can also bring power struggles and money concerns out into the open. Subtle issues become more obvious than they were before. How money is spent becomes a focus in partnerships where financial resources are shared. This could also be a time when we have a stronger interest in making financial investments or decisions about loans, insurance, or other areas of our lives having to do with money.
Yes, Venus in Scorpio can be pretty heavy, but it can also be truly amazing. All of this intensity leads to a stronger bond, so if you’re up for the challenge both emotionally and physically, this could end up being a transformative and sexy time that ends up bringing you and your partner much closer together.
As someone with their Venus in Scorpio, you take love very seriously. While others might be fine with a fling here or there, you’re always in it for the long haul. You are one of the most dedicated Venus signs in the zodiac, and you enjoy the deep, emotional connection that comes with being in a committed relationship. This doesn’t mean it’s easy for you to open yourself up to people. You are extremely skeptical of others at first, and believe actions speak louder than words. If someone does end up toying with your emotions, they will end up on the receiving end of your stinger!
Your intuition and penetrating mind make it easy for you to see past facades and understand who people really are. You are the private investigator of the zodiac, seeking to uncover every last detail — and secret — about someone. Yes, this is partly because you want to see if they are who they say they are, but you also want to learn what makes them tick so you know how to nurture them once you do get closer. Your Scorpio Venus may compel you to search for everyone else’s secrets, but your need for privacy makes you unwilling to share your own.
The raw passion and power of Scorpio coupled with the romantic nature of Venus creates an aura of mystery that other people can’t help but be drawn to. You might find yourself in the sights of quite a few admirers! However, you have very high standards for potential mates, and won’t allow someone to get close to you until they’ve proven their loyalty and trustworthiness. This makes you appear distant or disinterested at first, but you’re simply protecting the sensitivity Scorpio is known for. Once someone has shown you that it’s OK to let your guard down, you are as devoted as they come.

The 9 today represents your creativity. You don’t have to be an artist to be creative. You have a special way of inspiring people that come in contact with you and your work. Whatever you create plants seeds in the minds of others. It happens in ways that expands into arenas that you don’t know about. Be careful of what you create, as it is an extension of you. Everything you are passionate about has the capacity to be a tool for teaching others. Keep living with the freedom of doing what comes naturally to you. At some point others will follow your example.

The Crossed Spears
Meaning: The presence of the spear signifies arguments, negative events, and all manner of strife of an upsetting nature. However similar to the ‘Tower’ tarot card if next to a positive rune it could mean the end of an argument or quarrel. If with the rings it means the healing or renewal of a relationship. If there are military connections it could mean promotion. If illness is within the equation it means a speedy and successful recovery.
