The World card, regarded as the most fortunate card in the major arcane, is a symbol for all that we can accomplish on our path through life, for perfection, beauty, success, and public recognition. This is where the cycle ends and begins again. Happiness and wholeness are key elements that provide a sense of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Signaling accomplishment and reaching of one’s goals, the World card makes us aware that in completing this cycle we are ready to embark on a new adventure. We are prepared and preparing for another journey with higher awareness, knowing that active engagement and service are called for. In a negative situation, this card can point to major obstacles in our path, to setbacks, to loose ends we have left untied as well as lack of commitment.

After 9:30 AM EDT today (6:30 AM PDT), we have the “all clear” to shop and do business. The Moon is in Taurus.
Keep an eye on your finances today because something unexpected will impact your wealth in a major or minor way. You might find money; you might lose money. Something you own might be lost, stolen or damaged. You might have a brilliant moneymaking idea – or not.
Today you feel impulsive and tempted to act rashly. Your moods are changing rapidly, which will make you as surprised as everyone else. (You might be euphoric and depressed all before noon.) The best way to handle this is to do nothing. Ya think? Be smart and be safe.
You feel a bit on edge today – restless and nervous. Be aware that you might be sending out signals to others that you want to be left alone. There’s a tendency to look on the dark side of things today and be fearful or pessimistic. Lighten up. It’s always darkest before it gets pitch black.
You might meet a real character today, someone who is unusual, avant-garde or bohemian. Or perhaps, someone you already know will do something that amazes you. A member of a group might say something or make a proposal that is surprising. Be cool.
Relations with parents and bosses are unpredictable today. They might say or do something that catches you off guard. (This is a brief zinger, so for sure, do not quit your day job.) Don’t overreact. Do as little as possible and conceal your surprise. (Unless of course, you are the surprise.)
Travel plans will change today, almost certainly. Be prepared for this. Double check all details if you are travelling to make sure that everything is still on schedule. Allow extra time to deal with the unexpected. Expect cancellations, delays or the sudden need to travel.
Stay on top of matters related to banking, inheritances, wills, taxes and debt because something unexpected could impact these areas and possibly cost you money if you’re unaware of it. Stay informed. Whatever happens will have a brief window, which means you have to act swiftly.
Quite likely, a partner or close friend will throw you a curveball today and you will be surprised. They might demand more freedom in the relationship? They might want some changes? You might be introduced to someone who is different and unusual. Stay on course.
Expect interruptions to your job today due to machinery breakdowns, problems with equipment, computer crashes, staff shortages, fire drills or unexpected delays. Give yourself extra time so that you have wiggle room to cope with these delays. It’s the only thing to do.
Capricorn parents should be extra vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social engagements might be suddenly cancelled, delayed or changed. Conversely, you might receive an unexpected invitation to something. Wow!
Small appliances might break down at home today or minor breakages could occur. Someone unexpected could appear at your front door; or perhaps a family member has surprising news? Brace yourself for the unexpected. Don’t be in a rush. And don’t squat with your spurs on.
This is an accident-prone day for you so pay attention to everything you say and do. Be alert. (The world needs more lerts.) Think before you speak and guard against knee-jerk reactions. You might hear surprising news from siblings, relatives and neighbours.
Actor Paul Rudd (1969) shares your birthday today. You are imaginative, creative and adventurous. You like to set goals. Finally, all your hard work is starting to pay off!

Explore yoga, martial arts or jogging — any physical discipline that you enjoy.
For centuries, ancient and indigenous cultures have harnessed the power of the moon cycles in their rituals and routines.
We’ve all heard the term “lunatic.” Relating to “luna,” this reference comes from the idea that people act out in bizarre ways when there is a full moon. The lore goes like this: because the phases of the moon control the tides, and our bodies are made of mostly water, the energies have an irrevocable impact on human behavior.
The two most potent times of the month are during the new and full moon. During the new moon, the sky fades to darkness. It is a time to plant seeds, develop a vision, and ground oneself. During the full moon, the light is brightest, and the moon is at its strongest gravitational pull. It is a time to take action, and also to observe how far we are on the goals we have made since the new moon.
Below are suggestions for how you can best harness the energy of the full and new moon, based on your Zodiac sign.
NEW MOON: Articulate your desires. Because Aries are so thought-driven and mindful, it is more common to find an Aries reading other people’s ideas than documenting their own. The best way to gain clarity on your goals and what you want moving forward is to express yourself in a way that you don’t always feel comfortable doing.
FULL MOON: Listen to feedback. Aries are leaders, but they can also have a “know-it-all” dark side to them as well. The best way to gauge how well you are doing is to truly take in feedback, to listen to what other people are saying and how they are responding to you.
NEW MOON: Let yourself be “unpresentable.” What holds a Taurus back is their need for things to seem “perfect” all the time. If you want to build something new in your life, start with a blank slate. Begin by letting the night of the new moon represent a shedding for you, a moment that reveals your true, core self. In connecting with that place, you will be able to then make choices that better align with it. Perhaps this means not wearing makeup, or being transparent about a difficult part of your life with someone close to you.
FULL MOON: Paint your visions with a group of friends. A Taurus is so driven by visuals that the best way to choose what they want to manifest is by doing something that is just that. However, what trips a Taurus up is needing their lives to seem too perfect, that’s where being around friends comes in. Show people your process, share your dreams, share what you fear. The process will empower you by humbling you.
NEW MOON: Take yourself on a date, and think about what you want to create next in your life. Because it is your instinct to want to connect with people as often as you can, often it’s easy for you to forget that at the end of the day, you need to affirm yourself, you need to be there for yourself, and you need to believe in yourself. Developing this aspect of you will actually help you harness your inner power, and feel less reliant on other people.
FULL MOON: Dance alone, in the dark. You need to completely allow your energy to course through you without judging it, trying to change it, or wondering what other people think. You should turn off the lights in your house, put on your favorite song, and just move as you feel called to. Give yourself some time to warm up, and then connect with your untapped energy potential. It’s calling for your attention.
NEW MOON: Create a playlist that makes you feel the way you wantto feel. Do you want to experience more joy in your life? Do you want to feel safe enough to mourn or grieve the loss of something? Do you want to feel excited, at ease, or happier? Whatever it may be, use the power of your raw emotions to channel it. Work on evoking them through sound.
FULL MOON: Try to meditate outside. During the full moon, your emotions are going to be at an absolute peak, which means that you may not be able to think very clearly, or really evaluate how you are doing in terms of the progression of your goals. What matters most for you right now is your ability to ground yourself. Do so by being in nature.
NEW MOON: Write a letter to your future self. Leos are so driven by their sense of self, the best way to set intentions is for them to talk to… themselves. Try writing a letter to your future self about how you feel right now, what you hope they are doing, and what you want them to learn from what they have experienced.
FULL MOON: WNow, on the full moon, flip the exercise and write a letter to your past self. Nothing will help you evaluate how you’re doing in life better than identifying how you’ve grown as a person. Seeing how far you’ve come is your motivation, let it fuel you at this time.
NEW MOON: Donate some clothes you don’t wear. This is a symbolic act for a Virgo, who is both a humanitarian at heart yet someone who struggles to let go in their personal life. Start by releasing some belongings in your space, and giving them to other people who would love and appreciate them. The act of doing so will help you set the intention of moving on, and focusing on what you can give the world.
FULL MOON: Meditate with crystals. Virgo’s are the low-key adventurers of the Zodiac. It usually eludes people, but Virgos are typically very interested in anything that seems unique and different than the “norm.” Perhaps try clearing your mind and focusing on the next steps you want to take with the aide of something you haven’t tried before.
NEW MOON: Throw out whatever is keeping you off-balance. If your closet is messy, organize it. You know that junk drawer that’s been frustrating you? Clean it out. Wipe down your surfaces, light some incense, and just be in your space. A Libra can only feel at peace if their life is in balance. Sure, there’s no way to fix everything in a single night, but given how aesthetically-oriented Libras are, starting the moon cycle with a clean, blank slate is an amazing way to start.
FULL MOON: Write a list of intentions. Make a bullet point list of things that you want to have or experience in your life. If writing isn’t your thing, maybe make a new board on Pinterest, or cut out photos from a magazine and then make a collage. Keep these things in a place where you can see them often.
NEW MOON: Open up to your best friend about what’s really on your mind. The way a Scorpio’s thoughts start to rule their lives is when they are left to fester in the dark. By shedding light on the irrational worries, jealousies and fears you have been carrying around, you will be freed to start imagining what you’d like to experience next.
FULL MOON: Put yourself out there. Go on a first date. Apply for a new job, or work on your résumé. Write some new music. Look for the dog you want to adopt. Take a single action step toward what you really want to be doing, but often feel too afraid to actually start doing. Use the full moon’s energy to help propel you forward.
NEW MOON: Go for a hike. As the adventurer of the Zodiac, the best way to clear your mind and press the “restart” button is to go be outside in nature, and reconnect to your roots. Exploring new, uncharted ground is exactly what you need to do to plant seeds of more adventure and experience in your life.
FULL MOON: Start your new project. Whatever it is that you really, really want to be doing, whether it’s for work, travel or in your relationships, use the full moon to begin taking steps toward what you want, and put all of your self-doubt and second thoughts aside. You’re risk-averse because you’re a logical person, but you’re also at odds with yourself often because you crave that aforementioned adventure. Defy your logic just for one night… see where it takes you.
NEW MOON: Be honest about what’s not working in your life. Of everyone, Capricorns have the hardest time admitting when they are on the wrong path (at the wrong job, in the wrong relationship, etc.). And that causes them a lot of unnecessary stress, hanging on past the expiration date. Know that admitting what isn’t working doesn’t mean you’re a failure, it means you’re ready to move onto something else.
FULL MOON: Be honest about what is. Are you succeeding in some aspect of your job, do you have a friend who you think could be a potential partner, do you know that you need to return to a field you have expertise in, but you aren’t ready to take the dive? The flip side of admitting what’s not going well in your life is acknowledging what is. That’s what will truly clear your slate and move you forward.
NEW MOON: Make amends. In your endless pursuit of greatness, it’s very possible that you’ve lost some friends, haven’t always valued your relationships, and have come across as brash now and again. Maybe you don’t need to directly apologize to someone, but set your intentions for the new cycle by connecting with people in a genuine way. Do not forge that you need others to make your dreams come true. You cannot do everything yourself.
FULL MOON: Take an action step toward your most unrealistic goal. You are notorious for being an outrageously big-picture thinker, and often other people talk you out of your ambitions by encouraging you to be more realistic. Use the energy of the moon to see whether or not you can make those big ideas a reality. This is the time to try.
NEW MOON: Watch a movie that makes you cry. No matter what it is that you need to let go of, whether it’s an old relationship you can’t admit you still care about, the feelings of other people you empathize with far too much, or even just your own lingering self-doubt, set up some time to let yourself have a complete emotional release, even if you have to trigger it with your favorite sad romantic drama. Don’t beat yourself up for needing a night to just feel what you’re feeling.
FULL MOON: Write a poem, or whatever form of art most speaks to you. As the creative kings and queens of the Zodiac, your energy is best spent in any kind of creative endeavor. Challenge yourself to be even more honest and expressive than you’ve been before, and perhaps to share your work with someone that you never have before. Your gift is in what you can create for the world – work on doing so more proficiently.
When it comes to love and dating, the moon is arguably one of the most powerful yet overlooked astrological bodies in the sky.
Usually, folks look to the lover planets Venus and Mars for guidance when it comes to romance. And while there’s definitely nothing wrong with using those two as your guides, adding the moon into the mix certainly can’t hurt.
Lunar cycles give us a ton of insight into our emotional well-being. The moon shows us how we nurture ourselves and what feelings we are processing. She shows us where we have blocks, where we can push a little further, and where some healing is needed.
When it comes to dating, we can use the moon phases of the lunar cycle as markers for when to slow down, when to go faster, and when to just stop.
Here are the ways that each phase of the moon cycle can affect your dating life.
by Shereen Campbell
As most people know, the new moon is a great time to start something new. Immediately after the new moon, or balsamic moon, is the perfect time to set your intentions and plant seeds you wish to manifest in your life.
If you are single, this is when you could light a pink candle for the love you wish to bring into your life. Write your list of dream relationship qualities or create a manifestation vision board. You could also schedule a first date, create or update your dating profile, or even ask a friend to set you up with someone exciting.
If you are already attached, this is a great time to take your relationship to the next level. You can have conversations with your love about becoming official, moving in together, engagement, or starting a family.
Pay attention to this time, as often new folks or circumstances will enter your life. This is heightened when the new moon falls into your fifth house of love, creativity, and children or seventh house of long-term partnerships and marriage.
The two weeks that follow the dark moon phase is the perfect time for building up momentum and pushing forward on new projects and experiences. First dates, trying for babies, connecting with new suitors, and connecting with your higher self are all must-dos when the moon is waxing. This is the time of doing and being.
If some circumstances have recently come up for you that need some healing, this is when you want to do the work. Don’t be scared to create new habits, and try new things during this moon phase – it might lead you closer or deeper in love.
When dating someone, this is where a lot of the work will happen. It’s a great time to focus on learning about each other and figuring out how – and if – your lives fit together.
After you’ve done the work of building your foundation during the new moon and pushing deeper into discovery and learning during the waxing crescent, the first quarter is generally at time when you find out where you need to make adjustments. This two- to three-day time period might catch you feeling a bit down, so let yourself just… take a breather.
Don’t make any rash decisions. Sit with your feelings.
During the first quarter moon, you might discover quirks you’re not so sure about in yourself or your boo. Ponder if you can move past your faults and those of others.
Now that you have given yourself a couple days to absorb all you have done thus far in the lunar cycle, you will find that during the gibbous moon you have all you need to reassess and make a couple more strides forward.
This is also what could be called the calm right before the storm. Or that calm feeling you get right before you buckle your seatbelt on a rollercoaster. You know something major is about to happen, and right now, you have time to take some deep breaths. It’s spooky calm.
When it comes to dating during a gibbous moon phase, we’re talking spa days with the buds and crystal water before bed. This is a good time to get in some “me time,” if you can.
And if you really need to hang with bae, then make sure to keep it super low-key. Do something fun and active, nothing too emotionally charged. Emotions tend to run a little high and erratic right before a full moon. Don’t get caught in the crosshairs.
Ok. Now is a great time to go into observation mood. Slowly, take in everything happening around you. Process it. Push yourself to figure out what there is that is left to learn.
This is the start of a very reflective time. Allow things to fall where they may, then collect the pieces of information you were gifted and prepare to make your next moves.
If you’re single, perhaps an issue within your dating life might come up. Someone ghosts, a secret is revealed, or a blowout fight could happen. If you’re in a relationship, maybe your love wants to take your relationship up a notch, or informs you that they got a new job in another city.
However this energy manifests, just remember: whatever happens around this time is all about helping you discover more about yourself and how you relate to others.
When it comes to love, a full moon could put us in a my-needs-versus-their-needs mindset. That’s ok. Think of it as a way to double-check the balance of our relationships. A full moon occurs when the moon opposes the sun perfectly, which is essentially the universe showing us what to do. Balance!
So, maybe something comes up, like an argument that’s been brewing for a bit. Initially, it might feel like an awful experience, but maybe it’s finally giving you a chance to sort through any lingering issues that are blocking the relationship from progressing further.
Try to avoid making any rash, emotional decisions at this time. Take some time to center and ground yourself. Do what you need to do to move into a state of calm and observation. This can help you approach your next move with the clarity you need to align with your higher self.
Meditate, do yoga, play with some crystals, dance in your underwear in your house! Whatever it is, find a way to release the energy in a healthy way without doing something you regret.
Also, don’t forget, if you have any stones, especially the love stones like rose quartz, leave them out under the full moon for some cleansing.
This time period is all about processing the information that you received during the full moon and learning to integrate it into your psyche for healing.
On the dating tip, first dates might not be the best idea, but second dates won’t hurt anyone. Take whatever you learned during the full moon and apply it to your second and third dates… or towards your already established relationship.
Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable during this time period. This is an optimum time for emotionally connecting with others. Make sure that you are spending time focusing on self love and self care.
This is not the most favorable time for starting anything new, but it’s a great time for picking up something old you forgot about.
This doesn’t apply to your ex, though. It’s best to leave them in the past unless they have really, really, really earned a comeback.
When the moon is disseminating, as the word suggests, it’s time to share the knowledge. This is a great time for some BFF time!
Sharing your energy and stories with others tends to feel soooooo needed during the days of the disseminating moon. If you’ve been having issues in your relationship, this is the perfect time to get some outside advice and perspective. Reach out to a friend in a healthy, happy relationship and share your story with them. Ask them what would they do if they were in your shoes. Once you’ve gained a little outside perspective and your intuition approves it, feel free to have a little chat with your boo. Share your feelings. And be sure to listen to theirs as well.
If you’re single and mingling, hang with your single gals and share your stories. Dating can definitely suck sometimes and commiserating with your gal pals about your woes can make it a little more bearable.
Next, similar to the first quarter moon, the last quarter moon might bring about a chance for the readjustment. This two- to three-day time period is great for reevaluating what went down during the full moon and how you planned to push forward.
Does your initial plan still make sense? What holes can you identify, and can they be filled? Plus, you got some relationship advice, commensurate with your gals and chatted with your significant other. So, what’s next? Are you staying or are you going?
Is your relationship where it needs to be?
The last quarter moon is the time to break up if you don’t plan on making up. If you are making up, then make up! Have the convos you need to have, and let the past go. Focus on the future and how to move forward in a healthy relationship. If you’ve given them the boot, then now is the time to refocus on you, your needs, and what you want in the future.
This time is all about simply surrendering, taking a last rest before the next new moon, when you will start again and plant new seeds. This is the second time in the lunar cycle where it’s undoubtedly time to Netflix and chill. Relax, love. Take long baths, sip tea, watch emo movies.
If you’re chilling with your boo, just enjoy each other’s company and be. It’s the quiet moments like this we all secretly live for. The moments of quiet and tenderness. Tenderness with ourselves, and compassion for others. You’ve made amends, with either yourself or your love, or both. It’s time to reward yourself with some quiet moments.
When the new moon is in Aries on April 5, we receive a one-two punch of power: a moon phase that encourages us to get moving, and a sign to give us the energy to do it. This means change is likely coming—which is almost always be a daunting prospect—but with Aries‘ bold sensibilities, forging ahead is a natural act. Should you need a bit of help, this appropriately fiery clearing ritual should help make room for a welcome dose of daring. You’ll need a red candle to represent courage; bay leaves to promote healing, success, and wish fulfillment; and a desire to break free of the frustrations that have held you back for too long. Make yourself known and let Aries’ new moon do the rest.
Happy new moon!
At 1:50 a.m. PST on April 5, 2019, the new moon will be in Aries.
New moons have a way of stirring us into action, but the new moon in Aries really lights a fire under us! As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is super-charged with the energy of new beginnings, and when the sun and moon meet up in this cardinal fire sign, it’s like hitting the cosmic reset button. More than any other new moon of the year, this one has the potential to spark some major change.
Venturing into the unknown is always risky. But with warrior Mars as its ruling planet, Aries has no fear—and at this new moon, its courage is bound to rub off on us. If there’s something you want, there’s no time like the present to go out and get it! Be brave, be bold, and trust in your ability to face down any challenges along the way.
With its quick-thinking sensibilities, Aries is great at putting out fires; but its tendency to act and speak without thinking make it just as likely to fan the flames. Under this moon’s influence, we’re more prone to knee-jerk reactions (or overreactions), hotheadedness, and rude/reckless behavior.
One thing’s for sure: Wild, untamed Aries energy is not for the faint of heart! But, if we’re up to the challenge, it’s a source of power that even the meekest and mildest of us can tap into. The trick is learning to master it and make it work for us, rather than the other way around.
This headstrong sign knows what it wants—and wants it now. But if we push too hard for instant gratification, we may end up cheating ourselves out of something more worthwhile. As with any new moon, it’s best to think things through before rushing into action.
Still, with go-getter Mars calling the shots at this lunation, we won’t want to waste too much time. Decide what your intentions are—then get out there and take the ram by the horns!
Joseph Campbell said it best, Aries: “The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” But in order to be yourself, you’ve got to knowyourself, and the best way to learn is by getting out there and confronting life’s challenges head-on. This new moon in your sign kicks off the next chapter in your own hero’s journey.
Keep calm and carry on Taurus. You may not be the type who thrives under pressure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t stay cool in a crisis. The trick is not reacting to every stressful situation as if it’s a major emergency. This new moon coaxes you out of fight-or-flight mode so you can make a more reasoned response.
You never know when inspiration will strike, Gemini—so you’ve got to strike while the iron is hot! Still, you can only focus on so many bright ideas at once, and at this new moon, you’ve got more than you can handle. Choose the one you’re most fired up about right now and put the rest on the back burner.
Who’s the boss, Cancer? If you play your cards right at this new moon, it could be you. But there’s a lot more to leadership than just ordering people around. It’s about showing grace under pressure, taking decisive action, and being prepared to make tough calls when the situation demands it. Anything less is just risky business!
It’s time for a vision quest, Leo! Whether it’s geographically, mentally, or spiritually, you’ve been stuck in the same place for far too long. And if you ask us, a heart like yours is way too big to be contained by borders or barriers. At this new moon, what’s to stop you from breaking free? Only the limits of your imagination.
You’ve got a lot of things on your to-do list, Virgo—but what about your bucket list? As scary as it may be to think about, none of us will be here forever, so it’s important to make every moment count. This new moon asks what you’d do if there were no tomorrow; then asks, “Why wait?”
Nice guys and gals don’t always finish last, Libra—but they can have a hard time speaking up for themselves. At this new moon, it’s time for some assertiveness training! First lesson: Worry less about being “nice,” and more about being real. If it scares some people off, just remember that those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter won’t mind.
Old habits die hard, Scorpio. But it’s always easier to quit the bad ones when you replace them with something better. Whether your vice is junk food, cigarettes, binge-watching, or being glued to your phone, we bet you can think of a healthier alternative. At this new moon, it’s time to get off your butt and just do it!
Hey, Sag…take a walk on the wild side! For seasoned adventurers like you, it’s easy to assume you’ve “been there, done that.” But we’re willing to bet there’s something you haven’t tried. If so, this fun and fearless new moon is the perfect time to check it off your list—and maybe meet some cool people while you’re at it!
Feeling stir-crazy, Capricorn? It may be time you got out of the house…but at this new moon, it’s also a clear sign to change things up around the house. There’s no better time to get on a home-improvement kick. Just make sure you take it one project at a time, so you don’t end up living in a disaster area!
It’s a war of words, Aquarius—and at this new moon, you’re in it to win it! But it’s not just about who can raise their voice the loudest. It’s the person with the best ideas, and the most effective way of getting their point across, that will ultimately come out on top. Be direct, but don’t lose your cool.
Declare independence, Pisces! After all, it’s your life, so shouldn’t you be the one calling the shots? Still, before taking charge of your destiny at this new moon, you may need to take charge of your financial situation—it’s a lot easier to do things your way when you’re the one footing the bill.
Enjoy rest and relaxation in the void lunar hours preceding the moon’s entry into Taurus (6:07 a.m.). Once the moon is picking up on the exalted earthy vibes of the second sign of the zodiac—generally favorable for developing lucrative money-making plans if logic and common sense are present—stretch your intellectual prowess into the intuitive stratosphere as breakthroughs in higher consciousness abound during the monthly lunar union with eccentric and unconventional Uranus in Taurus (9:10 a.m.). Expect the unexpected if you are visiting estate sales and art fairs in search of overlooked treasures. Find time to let your green thumb glow in the garden or revel in the beauty of a favorite nature trail. Start preparing for the largest asteroid Ceres—so connected to mothering and nurturing themes—to make a station and turn retrograde in Sagittarius on Monday.

Invocation to Artemis
Hail, Lady of the deer hunt!
You who are both hunter and hunted,
You who wield the bow
And bring the prey to their knees,
You who are the doe
Who flees and eludes the pursuers,
Come to us and bless our hunt!
We too seek in the darkness,
We too flee through the darkness,
We too are both predator and prey.
Virgin of the crescent moon,
Implacable one with silver gaze
Who is called She Who Slays,
Fearless huntress, skilled tracker,
Shy deer who runs from our
Groping hands and clumsy feet,
Ray of moonlight that shows
Secrets beneath the forest leaves
That are glimpsed once and then
Never seen again in our lifetimes,
Archer with the fierce pack
Who hounds us through our weaknesses
And will not let us compromise,
Remind us that to shun compromise is to remain true
To something that we must keep alive or lose.
Chant:
New moon shining, Artemis, Artemis
(Pass around the chalice and pour out the rest as libation. Pass around the elaphoi and put the rest out for the woodland creatures as an offering.)

Aequinoctium Vernum Invocation
Earth, you begin your awakening
To the touch of the life-giving Sun
Whose rays stroke you like a lover.
Earth, your joy in awakening
Springs forth first golden
And then the green of life.
We awaken to your new life
And your new season,
And you help us to believe
That no matter how long the winter,
Spring will always come again.
We stand in the time of the year’s morning
And, like all living things,
We reach upwards for the sky.
Chant:
We open Earth and
Earth receives you
She gives you life and
We believe in you
(Each takes a pot of seeds and goes to the garden, and hoes or otherwise prepares a space for planting, and then plants their seeds, chanting while doing so. The pitcher of rainwater is carried out and ritually poured onto the seeds.)
Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others;
even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their stories.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself to others you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career …
however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is:
many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly to the council of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune;
but do not distress yourself with these imaginings;
many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars
You have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with your Gods, whatever you perceive them to be,
and whatever your aspirations in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace with your soul.
With all of it’s sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be careful. Strive to be happy.
–-Max Ehrmann
I hope everyone is having a very beautiful and relaxing Saturday. I wanted to touch base with you real quick and let you know what is going on.
If you remember about a little over a month ago, I was assaulted. At the time is was discovered that I had a few cracked ribs, a sore back and numerous bruises. Since that time, I have had a hip that has slowly but surely gotten worse. It started out a small pain and now if I accidentally sleep on that side, I can hardly walk in the morning when I first get up. Whatever it is, is causing my entire right side to draw up. I can’t straighten the leg out and the is pain, I can’t even begin to describe. The final straw was the other night, I woke up with a box cutter knife pointed right straight at the pain in my upper thigh. I had been thinking before I went to bed, “if only that tendon or whatever it was could be loosened, then perhaps I could straighten my leg out and stop hurting.” I guess that is what I was getting ready to do when the point of the knife woke me up. It is the only thing I can figure out. I decided that night it was time to stop battling this by myself and go to the doctors. I figured after I told them that story, they would lock me up in the nut house but they didn’t. They both understood a person will do whatever it takes to stop hurting.
Both of the doctors have checked out the pain in my hip and leg. Both of them agree, that it is my hip causing the problem. I have several tests coming up within the next few weeks. They also put me on another pain medication and it knocks me on my rump. So if you see “zzzzzzzzzzzz” across the screen, don’t think anything about it. I am taking a brief nap. That is the reason our posts have been so sporadic, my trips to my favorite men, the doctors. Both of them also agree that more than likely I will have to have my hip replaced.
Due to the numerous tests coming up and the doctors’ appointments our posting schedule will be a tadbit from normal. I apologize for this but the doctors don’t work on my schedule, they work on their own. I wanted to let you know what was going on. Right now with this extra pain medication, I am pretty much a zombie. But at least I don’t hurt right now, which is the important thing.
Between the doctors’ appointments and tests, we are going to try to keep our normal schedule. I know they have said for sure that I would have to have some type of surgery done on that hip. It all depends on what the tests come back showing. I could have a simple torn tendon or ligament they could repair or else I could need a total hip replacement. Who knows? The only thing they have said for sure is that I must have took one heck of a lick when I hit the desk when I was assaulted. Ah, hell, with me it is one thing right after another. I am about ready to go dig a hole and stick my head in it and never, ever come out again.
I thought it would be best to let you know what is going on instead of keeping you in the dark. If you would like to say a prayer or light a candle for me, it would be greatly appreciate it. I will keep you up-to-date on everything and when it comes to the surgery, I will give you the date for that. I asked one of them if they could just jack this old body up and run a new one under it. He just laughed. Funny, I don’t see this as a laughing matter. So you now know what is going on, today we are doing a condensed version of our usual postings. It is a trial run to see if I can stay awake during the postings, lol! Won’t be the first time I have passed out at the computer.
Now I am off to get our postings up and running. Got a moment say a prayer or two for me. Till tomorrow…..
Love ya,
Lady A
