WELCOME SPRING (AND GROWTH) WITH YOUR ARIES SEASON TAROTSCOPE

WELCOME SPRING (AND GROWTH) WITH YOUR ARIES SEASON TAROTSCOPE

  • PER ERIK BORJA

As the sun shifts into Aries, spirit offers an encompassing message for all signs to ponder. Picture icicles thawing and fresh leaves catching the droplets of water. There is a feeling of growth, spring, and the (natural) warming of Mother Earth.

Our past experiences, though frigid and difficult, can actually bring new life. By healing and transmuting heartbreaks, failures, disappointments, we give ourselves the chance to be reborn. The key is to find the lessons in the past, to not hold on to the hurts, and to let experiences move through us.

As the ice becomes water, allow what was to transform so that it may nurture us and fuel us to forge ahead in the next cycle of our life.

Your intuited Tarotscope will help you tune into what your soul needs to focus on or address during this Aries season. Read with your sun, moon, and rising signs in mind.

ARIES

QUEEN OF WANDS AND KING OF CUPS

Dear Aries, during your birth season, you are asked to embody the nurturing quality of fire and the powerful force of water.

The Queen of Wands is warmth and grace, her fire burns gently and steadily. Her charisma radiates and attracts others like moths to a flame. She has a beauty not dependent on her physical appearance, but her glowing aura. The King of Cups is emotional depth. He wants to know you—not what you do and who you hang out with, but instead what inspires you, what brings you joy, what hardships from the past brought you here.

The Queen asks you to carry quiet confidence, to be authentic in who you are, as there is no need to boast or seek attention. The King asks you to connect with others on a deeper level, to see past a person’s presentation, and into their soul.

 

TAURUS

THE HANGED MAN AND 6 OF PENTACLES

Dear Taurus, this Aries season it is time to pause and carefully examine your beliefs around the universal principles of giving and receiving.

The 6 of Pentacles is about generosity and charity—whether you are the one doing the offering or the one on the receiving end. Gifts, money, and favors are all forms of energy, and energy wants to move, and expand, and transform. If you fear scarcity, you block the energy of giving, if you feel unworthy, you block the energy of receiving.

The Hanged Man invites you to look inward, to be aware of how you feel when someone asks you for assistance, any sort of assistance, and to be aware of how you feel when others try to help and assist you. To be in alignment with abundance, we must prove to ourselves and the universe that we can give without expectation, and we can receive without shame.

 

GEMINI

5 OF SWORDS AND THE STAR

Dear Gemini, this Aries season it is time to forgive, not because what happened to you was okay, but because you owe it to yourself to feel better.

The 5 of Swords validates that at some point in the past, we have all been involved in conflict and turmoil. We’ve engaged in heated arguments, we have dragged each other through the mud and destroyed each other’s characters. The Star calls you to forgive, to forgive others or to forgive yourself. Because on the other side of hurt and anger, there is light, there is healing, there is hope—and beauty.

It is in your power to receive this grace, we cannot change the past, but with intention, we can send healing energy to what happened, and to everyone involved. It is your choice whether you want to stay in your turmoil—or let it all go.

CANCER

10 OF SWORDS AND 3 OF SWORDS

Dear Cancer, this Aries season let us look deeply within to uncover the hurts we still hold on to. We call it heartbreak because that is what it literally feels like. It feels as if our hearts are being stabbed, cut open, left to bleed and suffer. The 3 of Swords knows this pain, and it knows that it is a part of life, part of the contrasts.

The 10 of Swords offers relief from this pain, not through forgetting it or pretending like it wasn’t as severe as it was, but through acknowledging that we have gone through it, and we are transformed because of it.

Be aware of how we keep picking at the scab, preventing the wound from healing. Perhaps the pain will not fully go away, not yet, but through acceptance and insight, we can find the hidden gifts in these tragic experiences. We can acknowledge the strength we gained, and the new person we have become.

 

LEO

QUEEN OF CUPS AND 4 OF PENTACLES

Dear Leo, this Aries season become aware of your motivations. Do you aspire out of fear or out of love?

The 4 of Pentacles speaks to attachment—to money, to material things, to a false sense of security. Are we driven only by what we can physically attain? The Queen of Cups asks us to balance our quest for material abundance, which in itself is not wrong, with heart and spirit. She is nurturing, intuitive, loving and spiritually minded.

There is a reason why even the most famous and rich feel empty. It is because money does not fill your soul. Helping others, healing others, caring for others, guiding others, connecting. This is what it’s about.

It is time to be mindful of our aspirations. It is time to put our efforts into what truly matters, whatever that means for you.

 

VIRGO

10 OF PENTACLES AND PAGE OF WANDS

Dear Virgo, this Aries season ask yourself what “making it” means to you. For a lot of people, it used to be a nice house, a fast car, a beautiful family, a 401k, and retirement at an early age. It is okay to strive for this, but consciousness is changing.

The 10 of Pentacles asks us to review what would make us truly happy? What would make us feel like we truly made it? Not by society’s standards, but by our own. The Page of Wands invites fun and adventure into this inquiry. She wants us to be free, to not buy into what everyone tells us happiness should be.

What is your version of a happy home, a harmonious family, a successful career, a life fulfilled?

 

LIBRA

THE SUN AND THE CHARIOT

Dear Libra, this Aries season, you are invited to move forward toward the next chapter of your life with joy and vitality.

The Sun blesses you with clarity, optimism, and warmth. This does not mean that everything will be magical all of the time, but it does mean that no matter what happens, you know you will always be okay. You understand that the dark nights and destructive storms always give way to bright, clear skies.

The Chariot assists you in moving through whatever you are experiencing with power and conviction. If you are facing difficulties at this time, tap into the warrior inside to conquer your obstacles. If your life is wonderful at the moment, tap into the present, be in your physical body, and express your appreciation.

Celebrate life, and even if things are hard for you, celebrate the knowing that it is only temporary. Have faith and shift your perspective, you will have the opportunity to make things better because it is your divine right to experience happiness.

 

SCORPIO

ACE OF WANDS AND THE FOOL

Dear Scorpio, this Aries season is the true start of your new year.

If you feel that the new year has been heavy and dark, the Ace of Wands and The Fool make an appearance to signify new energy, new excitement, and new beginnings.

Know that these are only invitations, the fire of the Ace of Wands is the spark of inspiration, but you have to feed the fire, you have to put the effort, and it is your responsibility to push forward to fruition. The Fool marks this new cycle—carry only what you can, there is no room for oversized baggage. The Fool asks you to be light, to integrate the wisdom from the past, but to not be caged by it. Be open to taking risks, be open to the unknown, be like a child, wide-eyed and curious, ready to take on the world.

 

SAGITTARIUS

3 OF WANDS AND STRENGTH

Dear Sagittarius, this Aries season you have the opportunity to expand and make progress, and if it doesn’t make you a little bit anxious or scared, you aren’t challenging yourself enough.

The 3 of Wands is about direction, a plan of action, and doing all you can to follow through on your goals. How amazing it is when you are in the zone when everything is working out just as you had planned. You can feel the momentum, and nothing can stop you, you are emboldened and energized.

However, what if something unexpected happens? What if you begin to feel fear? What if an aspect of your goal completely falls apart? The Strength card lends her power to assist you, to remind you of the importance of perseverance. When we hit a roadblock, we can maneuver around it, plow through it, climb over it, or even dig under it. On your journey, Strength asks you to be nimble, to be flexible, and to know that these difficulties will only make you wiser and more capable.

 

CAPRICORN

JUSTICE AND 8 OF SWORDS

Dear Capricorn, this Aries season you are being guided to release the beliefs and patterns that limit your growth.

The Justice card deals with fairness, truth, and balance. It also asks us to take responsibility for where we are and to review how our past actions have led us to our present circumstance, whether positive or negative.

With the 8 of Swords—which deals with false entrapment and blocked energy usually by our own cause—we must look at the ways we have held ourselves back. Ask yourself if you ever stopped yourself from asking that person out, or going after that promotion, or speaking your truth, because you justified in your head that you weren’t attractive enough, or qualified, or that no one wanted to hear what you had to say.

Let’s put our ego on trial and take our power back. You are truly the only one who can make you feel small, and you are truly the only one who can make you understand your worth.

 

AQUARIUS

2 OF SWORDS AND THE EMPEROR

Dear Aquarius, this Aries season you are guided to lead yourself—to carefully weigh your options then stand by your choices.

The 2 of Swords often signifies indecision, lack of clarity, and the need to gain more information before choosing a path. It is okay to take your time to do this, but once you do, have conviction. It is a waste of time and energy to always go back and forth to wallow in regret.

The Emperor stands by you and reassures you that even if you made the wrong decision, there is a reason. There is something you needed to learn. He does not see failure, only opportunities to evolve.

I am reminded of two people walking down the street at opposite directions, they stop in front of each other and no one makes a move, both are too afraid to go one way or another because they may collide. The Emperor declares it is better to collide than to stand in hesitation. Choose, and have conviction—failure is never a reason to not do something.

 

PISCES

THE DEVIL AND ACE OF CUPS

Dear Pisces, this Aries season open up and explore the darker aspects of who you are.

We live in a world of duality, of contrasts. The Devil signifies our shadow self, the part that wants to experience pleasure. The Ace of Cups signifies an open heart, compassion, and love.

If we create a healthier relationship with what we judge as dark, we can learn to live with our whole being, instead of shutting that side away. Sex is good for the body. Anger is good for empowerment. Discernment allows us to move toward our truth.

However, sex can also lead to addiction, anger can also fester into hatred, and discernment can also turn into judgment. Be mindful of your habits and be compassionate and loving towards your entire being as you learn to achieve balance.

Your Egyptian Love Tarot Card for March 24 is The Moon

Egyptian Love Tarot Card

card_150x285-egyptian-horoscope-18

The Moon

The Moon card indicates that there is more going on than meets the eye right now in regard to love and relationships. The best way to gain clarity at this time is to patiently allow your intuitive mind to bring you the answers you are looking for. Trying to understand what is happening from a logical point of view will probably only confuse you more and prolong your impatience.

Your Egyptian Tarot Card for March 24 is The Judgment

The Judgment

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Judgment is the card at the crossroads of life. Whenever you get to a place of change, Judgment is the card that rules. No matter how confusing life gets, proper Judgment is the key to getting through it. Whether these are opportunities or entanglements, you only have three choices: bully your way through, leave it to destiny, or use your Judgment. Judgment dictates that it isn’t as important what you do as long as you do it right.

Your Daily Love Tarot Card for March 24 is The Chariot

Your Daily Love Tarot Card for March 24

 

The Chariot

Keywords: victory, (material) success, mastery, graduation, completion!

Astrological Correspondence: Cancer

The Chariot symbolizes enthusiasm, competitiveness, and triumph. Success and victory are achieved by employing all powers at one’s disposal – physical, spiritual, and intellectual. The Chariot symbolizes the positive side of the self, being strong and self-controlled, balancing conflicting emotions, triumphing over obstacles, sustaining an effort, and support attaining goals, thereby leading the way to transformation and self-knowledge. A dictatorial approach, recklessness, and extreme ambition can be on the other, negative side of the equation.

Your Daily Tarot Card for March 24 is The High Priestess

Tarot Card of the Day

The High Priestess

2

The High Priestess is a Major Arcana, or “trump” card, that represents human wisdom. The High Priestess can be viewed as a kind of female Pope (a Papess), or the ancient Egyptian Priestess of Isis, the even more ancient snake and bird goddesses, the Greek goddess Persephone, or Eve, before the fall.

For the accused heretics who were burnt at the stake for revering her in the 14th and 15th century, the Priestess symbolized the prophecy of the return of the Holy Spirit, which was perceived as the female aspect of the Holy Trinity.

In terms of the Major Arcana ordering of cards, The High Priestess appears in the sequence as soon as the Fool decides he wants to develop his innate powers, making a move toward becoming a Magician. The High Priestess is his first teacher, representing the inner life and the method for contacting it, as well as the contemplative study of nature and spiritual mystery.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a lovely day to start your week. The Sun in your sign gives you lots of energy and good fortune; while the placement of the Moon makes you want to seek adventure and do something different! Do something out of the ordinary. Travel or meet new people.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a feel-good day and you have a warm feeling in your tummy. You will enjoy hanging out with younger people as well as creative and artistic types. Friends from the past might still be in the picture. It’s a strong day to focus on taxes, debt and shared property.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a popular week and today is a very popular day! Sit down with friends or partners to discuss your dreams and hopes for the future so you can identify specific goals, perhaps with deadlines (always the litmus test). Relations with bosses and parents are congenial.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight, which is why bosses and parents admire you. Obviously, this means things at work will go smoothly, especially today. You will feel nurturing and supportive to a coworker. (Gosh.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your urge to travel and explore the world is still strong this week. Basically, you want adventure and a chance to encounter new ideas, new places and meet new people. (Yeah!) You will love to take a course or learn a new language. Today you feel romantic and playful!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a strong day for you because the Moon is in your sign dancing nicely with the Sun. However, you don’t feel super productive. Instead, you would rather be on vacation or playing somewhere with your pals. Sports events, the arts and fun times are great choices.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is an excellent day to deal with parents or authority figures within the family or to discuss domestic matters because things are flowing smoothly. You might want to explore real-estate opportunities. It’s a playful week and you are particularly charming!

This is a fast-paced week filled with errands, appointments plus increased reading, writing and studying. You want to enlighten others about something. Today a conversation with a female friend or acquaintance will be productive.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’re focused on money and possessions this week. Some of you might see ways to boost your earnings or get a better paying job. You will be forceful about going after what you want because Mars energizes your speech and your communication style right now. Fortunately, Venus softens and makes you gracious. Awww.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Your Aries Season Horoscope

Your Aries Season Horoscope

The Ram reignites your passion this spring

Emily Trinkaus

By Emily Trinkaus
Aries, Astrology, Horoscopes, Seasonal Horoscope, Zodiac

The Sun moved into Aries on March 20, marking the Spring Equinox — the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere — and the Astrological New Year! Light and darkness are equal this day, and from that point on the days will begin to grow longer.

Spring Equinox is traditionally a time to celebrate fertility and nature, and the renewal of the life force that went dormant through the winter. Spring fever strikes during the Aries season, inciting the urge to connect and create new romance.

Check out your horoscope sign below and find out where the Ram is calling you to take a brave leap forward, and what other cosmic events might encourage you to take a step back:

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Happy Birthday, Aries! The Sun in your sign and your 1st House of Self signals the start to your personal new year. Pay attention to what enlivens you and commit to making changes that free up more space for following your enthusiasm.

 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

The Sun in Aries fires up your 12th House of Dreams and Imagination, inviting you to invent a new vision. Slow down your social life and spend time in solitude to tap into your inner guidance and reignite your inspiration.

 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

In your 11th House of Friends, the Aries Sun energizes your social life. Recharge your batteries by participating in group activities and reaching out to people who inspire you. This is an auspicious time for connecting with people who can help you realize your dreams, so take advantage of any networking opportunities.

 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The Sun in Aries shines on your 10th House of Career — an industrious time for focusing on achievement and success. Take the risk of making new connections and taking courageous steps toward your professional goals.

 

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

In your 9th House of Travel, the Aries Sun stirs up your desire to explore new destinations. This is an auspicious time for adventure in any form, whether physical or intellectual. Stepping outside your comfort zone reignites your inspiration and gives you a higher perspective on any challenges.

 

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

The Sun in Aries sets off sparks in your 8th House of Intimacy, so prepare for the flames of desire to flare! Seek new ways to connect and share yourself with others now.

 

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Activating your 7th House of Partnerships, the Sun in Aries puts relationships on the front burner — even more than usual. You can keep it all in balance by making sure you’re seeing to your own needs and obligations; in fact, you must be careful not to shirk responsibilities, no matter how small.

 

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

The Sun in Aries energizes your 6th House of Work and Health, calling for innovative approaches to everyday routines and responsibilities. Use this surge of energy to revamp your self-care and work habits — how can you experience more pleasure and enthusiasm in your daily life?

 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Lighting up your 5th House of Fun, the Sun in Aries summons you to revitalize your creativity by taking time to play. Consult your inner child to discover what feels like fun, and take the risk of following your heart’s desire.

 

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

The Sun in Aries stimulates your 4th House of Home and Family, signaling new beginnings on the domestic front. Making changes in your home — redecorating, rearranging, or adding a new accessory or piece of furniture — strengthens your inner foundation and reinvigorates your energy for outer-world activities.

 

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Empowering your mental realm, the Sun in Aries energizes your 3rd House of Thought. Take the risk of following your curiosity into unknown territory by opening your mind to new ideas and perspectives. It’s also an auspicious time for sharing your ideas with others, through teaching, writing, sales or marketing.

 

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

The Sun in Aries and your 2nd House of Finances inspires new approaches to building prosperity, and perhaps new sources of income. This is a time to get clear about the details of your existing financial picture, and what you want to create in the future.

Born on March 24, Happy Birthday Aries!

happy belated birthday to you dear Mira..from Piedad
Happy Birthday Aries!

IF YOU ARE BORN ON March 24, you are a visionary and you have a third eye for beauty more so than any other Arian does. You are also graceful, sensitive and independent. According to your birthday personality, you are honest, sympathetic and modest people. You are also free-spirited. Your compassion for others is commendable.

If today is your birthday, people often remember you when they see you in social settings. You have a way about you that has an impact on others so they demand your company. You have a positive blend of quality traits that produce a harmonious Aries.

March 24 Aries birthdays normally have an optimistic outlook on life. What could be viewed as a negative quality in Aries is that you work too hard. When your brain is in overload, you can act like an airhead or become indecisive. Otherwise, you are extremely perceptive and could possess physic abilities.

March 24 birthday meaning shows that you are a gentle and honest soul. You tend to encourage relationships with people whom you admire. Having like-minded associates helps you to remain vigilant and encouraged.

With any relationship, Arians born on this day should learn something from it. People come to us for a reason… some relationships only last a season. With that being said, once you realize the reason, it is time to move forward.

The March 24th birthday horoscope predicts that Arians want love more than anything. In relationships, you tend to think with your heart rather than your mind. Therefore, you can be naive when it comes to love.

You look for a partner that would give you a long-term relationship that is filled with chocolate roses and milk baths. It would not hurt if there were someone to taunt you with some pillow talk. While it is true you love receiving, giving is just as important. When you fall in love, you would do anything to please your soulmate.

Everyone here on earth has a purpose. You believe that anything you do should be in support of that case. Whether the cause is for someone else or due to your own beliefs, you feel the labor should be enjoyable and fulfilling.

According to the March 24 birthday astrology, handling financial matters is one thing that you do not find pleasurable and would do well to seek other professions that will benefit from your creative expression. In this case, Arians born on this day have no problems asking for help.

What your birthday says about you is that you find it difficult to follow programs or itineraries. Arians love their freedom and one could say this confines any spontaneity. You like to go with the flow of things when it comes to planning your life.

You say it does not matter how you get there, as long as you get there. Aries, do not overlook those small and seemingly inert details as they could prove to be important. You could slow down enough to stay focused or grounded, it would be to your benefit.

The 24th March birthday characteristics show that you are sometimes physically connected to emotional issues. It is not often but stress has its effects on you making you feel sad or unhappy period. Just assembling your daily routine could be stressful enough to cause you problems relating to your mental health.

You do not drink enough of the right things to flush the toxins out of your body and this can cause you to feel sluggish. Arians should not drink a lot of caffeine based beverages or alcohol.

Arians with zodiac birthday March 24 have an eye for beauty in people, places and things. You are a creative thinker that is susceptible to heartbreak or to breaking hearts. You have some difficulties following rules and directions.

Those born on March 24 believe that everything and every person have a reason for being and we should serve this purpose to the best of our ability. You will need a clear mind so stay clear of things that will impair your judgment.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, March 24th

Moon Alert

Until 10 PM EDT today (7 PM PDT) we have the “all clear” to shop and do business. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you will be attracted more than usual to mysterious secrets. (“Where is that Ouija board?”) In fact, secrets might be revealed. However, at the very least, an element of intrigue and mystery will surround you today. Or it might be a false alarm? Is it just your imagination?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

When dealing with friends and members of groups today, you might be confused because they’re sending out mixed signals, or at least, it seems to be that way. If you’re not sure what’s going on, just watch and do not commit to anything. Be observant – but be safe.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is the classic day for confusion to happen during communications with bosses, parents, VIPs and the police. Since this is a strong possibility, make sure you clearly understand what they expect from you. And vice versa, make sure that they understand what you are saying. Capisce?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Because your imagination is heightened today, you will love to explore distant lands, other cultures, different belief systems and anything that is unusual and intriguing. You might also be fascinated by details closer to home. You want to discover new truths or explore new territory.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Make no assumptions about the wealth of someone else today, especially your partner or someone close to you. Furthermore, make no assumptions about what they will give you or share with you. Because today is ripe for confusion and false expectations — tread carefully!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might expect too much from someone today, which is why you could end up feeling disappointed. If this is the case, ask yourself if your expectations were realistic. Or more to the point – were they expressed? Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If you are at work today, you might feel sympathetic to a coworker, or someone might feel sympathetic to you. However, this is also a day where things are not quite as they seem. People will embroider the truth either by accident or intent. “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are in touch with your muse today, which is why you will welcome a chance to express your creative, artistic talents and energy. You will also appreciate the artistic talents of others. Meanwhile, intimate relationships are so romantic! (Oh yeah.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the classic day for family confusion. This could relate to unrealistic expectations or just misinformation. Therefore, if you are having an important discussion – make an extra effort to clarify both sides of the conversation. Be smart.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you will love to study anything that’s mysterious, different and off the beaten path as it were. The occult, astrology, metaphysics, existential questions, UFOs, paranormal events and what really is happening next door are just some possibilities.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be very clear about all financial transactions today because confusion is rampant. For starters, you might be tempted to spend too much money on something luxurious and later, you will regret it. (Keep your receipts.) Make sure that financial transactions are correct. Double check everything.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today Mercury (planet of communication) is lined up with fuzzy Neptune, which promotes idealism, subtlety, artistic nuances as well as confusion and delusion. Oh yes, the entire gamut. If you know this ahead of time, you can be mindful and aware. For example, if you think something fishy is going on – it is!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Academic, environmental activist David Suzuki (1936) shares your birthday today. You are impulsive, and yet, you can be self-composed. You are well liked and a natural leader. This is a party year! Enjoy a heightened popularity and warm friendships with others. You will have much to be grateful for this year. Learn to appreciate the happiness and beauty around you. This year you will make an important choice. Happiness is having alternatives.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of March 24th

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of March 24th

Sarah Bartlett, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

With delightful Venus moving into laid-back Pisces, we can perhaps all take a break from the tensions of life and live a little. Time to show your flirtatious, carefree side and let love be unconditional too.

 

Mercury’s move forward also means that after much reflection, you can now start to activate all your romantic intentions.

 

ARIES

If you’re willing to put up with the same old routines, then question whether you’re actually denying your right to some fun? An attitude such as ‘I must take responsibility and I can make it alone,’ means you are denying the right to sharing and being loved too. By opening up to others, you’ll be liberated.

 

 

TAURUS

There’s some positive ideas coming through you right now. And that’s because you’re loving yourself, a little bit more, every day. You’re slowly seeing that to take a chance on yourself, might actually make you feel secure inside. With Uranus working your sign, even though you feel a little defensive, you’re becoming a lot more self-contained.

 

 

GEMINI

People seem full of themselves, lovers eager to take control, and you, perhaps still fooling yourself that you don’t need to take a risk here and there. But you do. This is a week when you begin to truly know what matters to you. It’s also a time when your awareness of your love values is truly in focus. With a little patience, you’ll see fabulous results in the months ahead.

 

 

CANCER

With the current planetary changes, you’re reminded that you’re a bit of a paradox: willing to give, but also withholding. Ask yourself these questions. Is your life fulfilling? Are your true desires being met? Are you distant with others because you’re so insecure in yourself? Answer these questions honestly, and be rewarded.

 

 

LEO

Relationships are intriguing yet often frustrating when we have to guess how others feel about us, aren’t they? But now’s the time to take action, take the odd risk in love, or throw a little caution to the wind. The timing is right this week, and that means the enchantment which you truly long for can at last begin.

 

 

VIRGO

Single or attached, be prepared for a romantic debate this week. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship or in the middle of a series of dates, make your needs clear to your partner or admirer. This is one of those weeks when sign-posts and new roads beckon. And love, unpredictable as it is, begins to appear down the pathway ahead of you.

 

 

LIBRA

There are times when the easy-going you wants to be a little more ruthless. Yes, you want to stamp your foot and make a few demands and not always be the compromising one. This week, you may feel this urge more than usual, and in fact, the more someone plays the role of boss, the more you resent and seethe beneath your calm exterior. Time to make it clear you have needs and feelings too, and let your emotional self see the light of day.

 

 

SCORPIO

As Venus still reminds you that life is about enjoying yourself, you now feel liberated and rebellious. But your partner or new admirer also begins to realise that you’re not just a fun-loving extrovert, but also a vulnerable soul who needs true respect for your extraordinary talents. So stir the ingredients of love and bring it all to life.

 

 

SAGITTARIUS

You and a lover or new admirer need to understand each other’s desires and decide whether a compromise can be found. However, if you both want it all your own way there’s little chance of ever coming to a satisfactory middle-ground. But if you can just put yourself in the other’s shoes, that kind of compromise will see rewards beyond your wildest imagination.

 

 

CAPRICORN

Venus stirs you back to romantic life as you cruise into a week of negotiating and fun-loving times. Personally, you know you’ve got to do something to make a relationship move forward. But the next few weeks will give you time to define your love goals. So check out your true values and start loving from the heart.

 

 

AQUARIUS

There are admirers out there who are welcoming the chance to celebrate the new, self-motivated you. By the end of the week, you know what you want to change – your lifestyle. The communication channels open again, and you can now ask the very questions you’ve been avoiding. Make sure you gently demand to be loved the way you truly want to be.

 

 

PISCES

This week, it seems your need for personal space prevents true togetherness. The price is high, but the changing cosmic influence will give you the chance to probe the depths of your true intentions and follow them through. Make sure others know the real you, otherwise in the weeks to come, misunderstandings will abound.

Your Horoscopes for the Week of March 24th

Your Horoscopes for the Week of March 24th

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

Talk is cheap this week. It’s action others want to see, so try to put your best foot forward and don’t pretend to know or have done things you haven’t. Time you spend with older faces this weekend, teaches you much about the kind of person you want to be. Try to be on time for all appointments of a professional nature. Ring now to hear why it is so imperative to your success.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

I know you think you have been working hard for nothing and that your efforts are unappreciated, but you are wrong. You are about to find out how many admirers and supporters you’ve got. It took a while for others to find out how special you are, but you’re finally getting there. A fake friend is revealed, and about time too. Ring now to make your life a better place to be.

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

Setting goals is the first step in turning the impossible into the possible. Try not to avoid the places you must go and the people you must see as it’s all part of the process to you ending this exhausting chapter. Showing faith in those who are younger than you between Friday and Sunday can work a miracle. Ring now to hear why you can and should put your heart on the line this week.

 

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

Sometimes you can’t see yourself clearly, until you see yourself through the eyes of others. This week offers you the chance to find out what others think of you and I think you’re going to like what you hear. A responsibility you didn’t want, can be passed to others if you make it known you no longer want to take charge. Ring now to hear how you’re definitely taking charge in love!

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

Don’t let your pride stand in the way of saying who you want and why. You are the one who must live your life and with the choices you make, so take the lead and make this the month you move on from the past and towards the future of your dreams. Travel is well starred and you start to find the courage to explore where your destiny can lead. Ring to hear who can’t stop thinking about you.

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

Although your energy levels are not what they should be, I see that your brain power is bright and able to make enough progress to ensure that you secure your place in an important work project which can change your financial status by the end of this year. Try not to lend money to those you know may not be able to pay it back. Ring now to hear how moral support is most valuable to you both.

 

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

Showing love and care for your nearest and dearest is what this week needs to be all about. You spent so much of last month trying to repair financial damage that you missed out on giving the TLC which your sign is so famous for. It’s all about getting the balance back in your life for sign such as you. Ring now to hear who I think has been your most negative influence so far.

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

There really is no stopping you this month Scorpio. You are a sign on a mission who knows they have what it takes to move on from what and who held them back. In fact, I see that you are richer for experiencing the pain which occurred. You now know what to avoid to stay in tact. An upcoming meeting requires you to put on some sort of an act. Ring now to know how far to go.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

Your soulmate is the one who makes life come to life. You begin to feel more aware of the standards you want to keep and you won’t be mixing your words when faced with any confrontations. Try not to sell things you know you would regret. You would be far better to look for alternatives to current hiccups. Ring now to hear why I know you can do what’s required.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Someone who once meant a lot to you has changed the way they talk and act towards you and this seems to have left you with a bitter taste in your mouth. Rather than accept defeat, try to fight for what you want or you will only end up questioning your actions for months and not just weeks to come. You have the willpower to make anything you put your mind to work. Ring now to hear why you don’t need to tell friends and family everything about your love life this month.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

Emotions make it difficult for you to know the difference between fact and fiction. Slow your pace my friend and work on taking in the moment. It’s what will make your life a better to be. Unusual phone calls you receive open up a whole pandora’s box which could well change where you see yourself living in the years ahead. Ring now to find out how great your future can be.

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

Friends try to make it hard for you to tell them the truth, but don’t forget that your sign is known for being able to play their cards close to their chest. This is your life to live and these are your standards to keep. This week you make up your mind about what and who you want from your future. Ring now to hear what a life changing year you’re in.

The Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 24th

The universe is beginning to hear your complaints and offer you some solace after throwing you an array of curveballs over the past four days. The moon in Scorpio in trine with Mercury in Pisces (12:11 a.m.) and the moon parallel Venus (3:16 a.m.) open the gates of enhancing your literary and artistic talents. Romantic overtures can often be more effective when the lunar orb and Venus are magnetically attracted to one another. Mercury, still in reverse motion until March 28, makes an imagination-boosting conjunction with Neptune at 17 degrees of Pisces (10:29 a.m.).

Ward off any tendency to create confusion with loved ones as the moon adds to stress levels by opposing Mars (3:39 p.m.) and squaring Venus (7:25 p.m.). This latter aspect also begins a 3 hour void lunar zone that lasts until ebullient Sagittarius moon takes charge at 11:07 p.m. Look forward to a cosmically-energized start to a new work week tomorrow.

[Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Spirit Message of the Day – Remember Your Happily Ever After

Spirit Message of the Day – Remember Your Happily Ever After

Once Upon a Time…

“we took a journey that led us through a forest of self-discovery. It was here where we encountered the wolves, monsters, fairies, and all those things that helped to define who we are and where we were going. And now we have finally arrived.”

SYMBOLS AND MEANING
“We can see the castle on the horizon. It shines like a beacon and heralds the end of a long journey well traveled. Through the tangle of the roots and trees, the calmness of the reflecting waters welcomes the traveler to a more placid place, where light and dark integrate and synthesize into greater awareness. The castle represents the anima of knowledge. Access to these offerings of wisdom is the ultimum reward. There are all manner of spirits hidden within the elements, ready to assist us through our path to maturation. They represent collected wisdom and can only be discerned if our hearts and minds are open to receiving their messages.”

“The flying birds symbolize the spirit. They are launching themselves from the safety of their nests and into the multifaceted splendor of the golden castle. They represent transcendence and the ability to balance mind and spirit. The serene water is the unconscious fully mirroring consciousness, representing the balance between the physical body and our spiritual essence. The outside of the castle represents the physical place of conscious thoughts, while the interior supports the unconscious, collective unconscious, and spiritual matters.”

“The wild woods in the foreground contrast the softness of the clouds and are a reconciliation of opposites. The branches represent the earthly plane and physical reality of our being against infinite, ever-changing layers of the world beyond. Together they compose the wholeness of the universe.

By traveling through dark forests and encountering creatures and spirits, we have the opportunity to expand ourselves in ways we did not necessarily think possible. We have been provided lessons through innumerable situations that feed into our psyches and help us become more attentive to our conscious thought processes. Through it all we have learned to follow our intuition and to listen to a deeper part of ourselves that has finally brought us to happily ever after. We can only attain ‘wholeness’ once the shadow, omni present in our journeys, has been confronted and integrated into the psyche.

YOUR MESSAGE
“We have arrived at happily ever after. We have full integrated the many and often complicated elements of our being and have eyes wide open to the illuminative power of wholeness. We embrace the multivalent layers of our inner life and can now appreciate the treasures that lie within.”

Today’s message is from The Fairy Tale Tarot by Lisa Hunt.

REMEMBER YOUR BLISS
If for only a moment – imagine right now- this is your happily ever after. You have everything you’ve always wanted. How does it feel? Where are you? What are you doing? Whom are you with? What are you thinking? Sit quietly for a minute. Remember these thoughts and knowlingly carry this feeling with you tomorrow. Watch what you’ve just imagined come to life right before your eyes. Transcend. Align your will with your desire. Remember your bliss and find your happily ever after…again.

The Witches Magick for Sunday, March 24 – HOME PROTECTION WARD

HOME PROTECTION WARD

A ward is something that protects or defends, and when placed around a home it works like a barrier, preventing negativity from entering. However, you have to check on this regularly, just like a wall used to defend a city. How often you need to refresh your ward is completely dependant on your neighborhood and the sort of things following you home. I live in a nice little neighborhood, but right down the street is a not so nice one. Last December my car was stolen from our driveway while I was home by some kids that lived down the road. That being said, my ward needs refreshing rather often. Two to four times a year is usually good, but just remember to keep an eye on it. If you notice it needs refreshing, take down the old ward and reconstruct it.

My favorite ward ritual also comes from The Way of the Hedgewitch by Arin Murphy-Hiscock. Like her threshold protection spell, its easy, quick, and informal.

Supplies
Candle with holder
Dish of water
Dish of earth or salt (you will be sprinkling this outside)
Incense of your choice
Matches or lighter

Directions
Light the candle and, beginning at your threshold or where ever you deem fit (I started in my back yard at the fence since it was easiest for me), walk clockwise around the outside of your home. As you do say:

“I build this boundary with fire.”

Repeat this over and over until you have walked completely around your home.

Next pick up the dish of earth. Again, walk around your home sprinkling dirt as you go.

Repeat:

“I build this boundary with earth.”

Pick up the incense and light it. Walk around your house for the last time repeating:

“I build this boundary with air.”

Standing at your threshold (or starting place), reach out your hands and visualize a shield of energy forming a bubble around your home and property. As you visualize say:

“Fire, water, earth, and air,
Guard this home against all ill will and danger.
Keep this house and those who live in it safe.
I declare this ward to be raised and active.”

And there you have it, a home protection ward! Now sometimes a ward needs to be dissolved. These times would be to refresh a ward, if you move, or if there are major changes that occur in your life or the life of the house, i.e. career change and remodeling.

To disolve a ward, walk counter-clockwise beginning at the same starting point you did to construct the ward. As you do so hold out your hand and visualize it slicing through your ward. As you walk say:

“I dissolve this ward.
You have my thanks for your protection in the past.
I release you with my blessing.”

A little word of warning about wards and protection barriers. If you are keeping something out you are also keeping something in. It is in your best interest to dissolve your barriers once in a while to let out any trapped energy.

Let’s Talk Witch – The Spiral of Rebirth

The Spiral of Rebirth

Reincarnation seems to be one of the most controversial spiritual topics of our time. Hundreds of books are being published on the subject ject as if the Western world had only recently discovered this ancient doctrine.

Reincarnation is one of Wicca’s most valuable lessons. The knowledge edge that this life is but one of many, that when the physical body dies we do not cease to exist but are reborn in another body answers many questions, but raises a few more.

Why? Why are we reincarnated? In common with many other religions, Wicca teaches that reincarnation is the instrument through which our souls are perfected. One lifetime isn’t sufficient to attain this goal; hence, the consciousness (soul) is reborn many times, each life encompassing a different set of lessons, until perfection is achieved.

No one can say how many lives are required before this is accomplished. plished. We are human and it’s easy to fall into non-evolutionary behavior. Greed, anger, jealousy, obsession and all our negative emotions inhibit our growth.

In Wicca, we seek to strengthen our bodies, minds and souls. We certainly live full, productive earthly lives, but we try to do so while harming none, the antithesis of competition, intimidation and looking out for number one.

The soul is ageless, sexless, non-physical, possessed of the divine spark of the Goddess and God. Each manifestation of the soul (i.e., each body it inhabits on Earth) is different. No two bodies or lives are the same. If this wasn’t so, the soul would stagnate. The sex, race, place of birth, economic class and every other individuality of the soul is determined by its actions in past lives and the lessons necessary to the present.

This is of utmost importance in Wiccan thought: we decide the lay of our lives. There’s no god or curse or mysterious force of fate upon which we can thrust the responsibility for the trials in our lives. We decide what we need to learn in order to evolve, and then, it is hoped, during incarnation, work toward this out for number one.

There’s no god or curse or mysterious force of fate upon which we can thrust the responsibility for the trials in our lives. We decide what we need to learn in order to evolve, and then, it is hoped, during incarnation, work toward this progress. If not, we regress into darkness.

As an aid in learning the lessons of each life, a phenomenon exists which has been called karma. Karma is often misunderstood. It is not a system of rewards and punishments, but a phenomenon that guides the soul toward evolving actions. Thusly, if a person performs negative actions, negative actions will be returned. Good brings good. With this in mind, there’s little reason to act negatively.

Karma means action, and that’s how it works. It is a tool, not a punishment. There’s no way one can “wipe out” karma, and neither is every seemingly terrible event in our lives a byproduct of karma.

We learn from karma only when we’re aware of it. Many look into their past lives to discover their mistakes, to uncover the problems inhibiting progress in this one.

Trance and meditation techniques can help here, but true self-knowledge is the best means of accomplishing this.

Past-life regression can be a dangerous thing, for much self-delusion delusion exists here. I can’t tell you how many Cleopatras, King Arthurs, Merlins, Marys, Nefertitis and other famous persons of the past I’ve met walking around in high-top tennis shoes and jeans. Our conscious minds, seeking past incarnations, easily hold onto such romantic ideals.

If this becomes a problem; if you don’t wish to know your past lives, or lack the means to discover them, look at this life. You can learn everything of relevance about your past lives by examining this life. If you’ve cleared up problems in previous existences, they’re of no concern to you today. If you haven’t, the same problems will reappear, so look at this life.

At night, study your day’s action, noting both positive, helpful actions and thoughts as well as the negative. Then look at the past week, the past year, the past decade. Refer to diaries, journals or old letters if you’ve kept them to refresh your memory. Do you continually make the same mistakes? If so, vow to never repeat them in a ritual of your own design.

The Energy of the Sun

The Energy of the Sun

The planetary energy of the Sun is stimulating and warm. It encourages growth and expansion as well as general good feelings all around. It may be used for magick related to the growth of anything; career, family, public influence, wealth, the garden, friendships, love, general abundance, employment opportunities, business. Because the Sun shines down on the whole world, and thus sees everything that happens, the Sun’s planetary energy is occasionally used to find objects as well as protecting us from deception or being “kept in the dark”. Looking at the Sun’s universality in a different way, this energy can be used to find a common thread (we’re all warmed by the same Sun) to encourage new friendships and partnerships and reconciliation where existing ones are threatened.

Many things that correspond to the planetary energy of the Sun also correspond to the elemental energy of Fire.

Healing

The sun is associated with the heart, circulatory system, the spinal cord and the thymus gland.

Solar Minerals

Metal Gold

Crystals/Stones

Yellow, red and particularly bright, shiny crystals and stones tend to correspond to the energy of the Sun. diamond, ruby, chrysolite, yellow topaz, citrine, red garnet, chrysoprase and amber- fossilized tree sap said to contain the energy of the Sun as metabolized by the tree. Corundum and yellow Tiger’s Eye show sparkling designs that remind one of the sun and of course, there is sunstone.

Crystals and metals that correspond to the planetary energy of the Sun can be worn, carried or placed on the body to encourage healing or to draw planetary energies ruled by the sun, such as abundance to the individual. They may also be used to create a gem elixir and ingested, assuming they do not contain toxic materials. Crystals can be placed in a location to draw the desired energies to your home, place of business or vehicle as desired, placed on the altar, held, or gazed upon to enhance energies being raised during spellwork or other focusing and manifesting exercises.

Solar Plants and herbs

Plants that resemble the sun in shape or color, that open during the day and close at night, that follow the sun’s movements during the day, and those plants that are traditionally associated with the winter solstice as well as those that provide winter nourishment when fresh plants are unavailable, such as grains and nuts. Physically, edible Sun plants tend to encourage a feeling of warm satisfaction and medicinal plants affect the heart. sunflower, calendula, marigold, daylily, orange, citron, saffron, pine, mistletoe, rosemary, buttercup, heliotrope, bay laurel, daisy, walnut, acorn, maize, wheat, hops, cloves, cinnamon

Herbs can be incorporated into magick by placing them on the altar in the form of fresh flowers or dried potpourri or incorporated into incense to enhance energies raised during spellwork and ritual of a solar nature. They can also be carried or worn in a pouch or placed in an area to attract these energies. An herbal floor wash will infuse an area with the desired energies, or this may be accomplished via fumigation. Edible plants can be consumed as part of a meal or as part of an elixir or other herbal preparation. Those herbs that are skin-safe can be added to massage oils or fragrance sprays and ritual baths. Whole herbs or essential oils may be used.

*Incense* cinnamon, clove, pine, citrus, Benzoin, Pine, Frankincense, Labdanum, Olibanum

Sun fragrances are generous and, to me, home sweet home types of smells, with the exception of a few, which have “special occasion” feels to me. The sorts of smells that fill a temple, or the house on a day when lots of company is coming.

Days and Holidays

The Winter Solstice is the day most strongly associated with Solar Energy, though it peaks at the Summer Solstice, it declines thereafter.

 

Sunday is the Sun’s day

Zodiac Leo is ruled by the sun.

Other Solar Correspondences

Animals Lion, Sparrowhawk, Griffin, hawk

While animal parts are used for magick in many traditions, they can be difficult or impossible to obtain and some animals are endangered, though you may find using feathers and fur of local animals to be feasible, using important bits of animals that aren’t already raised and slaughtered for food isn’t within the reach or moral compass of most modern witches. Using live animals subjects animals to discomfort and fear and is also not recommended. However, images of animals have a long history of use in magic and images of animals are quite easy to obtain as 2D pictures and 3D sculptures. If you are artistic, the very act of creating these images can help you more closely attune to their energy.

Colors

Orange, amber, gold, yellow, red

Many magic-users bring color into their working through their choice of colored candles, altar cloth and other items placed on the altar. If you wish to bring solar energy into your daily life, you may choose corresponding colors for your clothing or even chose paint, curtains and carpet colors to draw solar energy into your space.

Magick Prosperity, wealth, wealth, growth, confidence, clarity, commonality, abundance, truth, harmony, partnerships.
