Little Pagan Acorns – Website for Pagan Children

[Not just for Pagan children that are homeschooled but for any Pagan child)

WHY PAGAN?

The world of homeschooling is dominated by Christians, and the majority of online resources are Bible-based. For someone who is Pagan, it gets pretty frustrating to find great printables that aren’t filled with Bible scriptures or Christian phrasing. So I wanted to create a resource for all of us who are parents and/or homeschoolers who are following other spiritual paths.

My purpose is to create pages that can be mixed in with other resources to add some Pagan terminology, ideals and history so that people can teach their children something that is uniquely Pagan.

I also intend to have selections of nature-based and generically “spiritual” material that could be used by folks who aren’t really Pagan but want an option away from the Christian materials as well.

I know that the term “Pagan” covers a huge range of faiths and beliefs, and I hope that I can properly respect them all here. My own path is more Wiccan and you’ll tend to see more material along that slant (lots of altars, Sabbats and pentacles!). I’d welcome any comments or suggestions from other beliefs so that I can accurately cover them. I apologize in advance if I have included anything that is inaccurate about other religions. Feel free to let me know.

So, welcome to Little Pagan Acorns and I hope that there is something here to help with your Pagan homeschooling and parenting!

Public Service Announcement About Your Webcam

(This is not being posted to try to sell you anything. It is for safety reasons only I copy and paste this information.)

Why Webcam Security Matters

By Click&Clean – Updated Friday, May 8, 2020. Nowadays, webcams are standard equipment on most devices, including desktop and laptop PCs, tablets, and smartphones. A webcam allows you to send a picture in real time from one device to another through an Internet connection.

However, this does not mean that we know what we are doing with them, and many people simply forget that they are vulnerable to being hacked. Recent Wizcase research showed that more than 15,000 private webcams are accessible to the general public.

Webcam hacking attacks are one of the most popular activities of malicious users and have been actively exploited by them for many years; for example, to obtain visual information about the details of your home.

In most cases, webcams have indicator lights that show when the webcam is in use. However, hackers and cybercriminals create malware that can turn off the activity indicator. If your webcam has been hacked, then even though the notification light is off, the webcam can capture video, and someone can spy on you.

Security Tips to Protect Yourself Against Webcam Hackers

1. Cover Up Your Webcam

The simplest solutions are the most effective. To be absolutely sure that no one is spying on you through your webcam and your webcam is protected from potential attacks, use some electrical tape or a webcam cover to physically cover up your webcam.

2. Unplug or Disable Your Webcam

The next best step to protect your webcam is to unplug or disable it. If you are using an external webcam connected via USB, just unplug it when not in use. If your laptop or desktop has a built-in webcam, disable it completely via Device Manager.

3. Scan Your Device for Webcam-Focused Malware

It is crucial to regularly run anti-malware scans to protect your webcam. But traditional antivirus software may not catch webcam-focused malware or spyware. Therefore, you should consider downloading a second opinion anti-malware scanner, such as Malwarebytes.

4. Don’t Open Email Attachments From Unknown Sources or Click on Suspicious Links

Often, scammers use phishing emails to trick users into opening harmful links or downloading malicious files from email attachments. If you receive an email from someone you don’t know, don’t open it, and don’t click on attachments or any suspicious links.

In addition, many webcam hackers use shortened links on social media sites that will redirect you to a malicious website or automatically start downloading malware. Therefore, never open any unknown files, shortened URLs, or any links, unless you’re sure that it’s from someone you trust and know.

5. Keep Your Webcam Software Up-to-Date

To prevent your laptop or desktop computer from catching malware, it’s important to keep your operating system, web browser, and any other type of software up-to-date. If you use outdated vulnerable firmware, this could compromise your privacy, and cybercriminals can easily exploit these vulnerabilities and flaws.

Crafting Your Own Sacred Schedule – Part 2

Anniversaries, Birthdays, and Other Important Life Moments

The first category may seem pretty obvious, but we often tend to not look at these dates in a spiritual context. We may even view them as obligations versus observances over time. Birthdays aren’t just about getting older; they are opportunities to reflect on the events that took place in the past year and set goals for the next year. A birthday can serve as a reminder for us to be kinder to ourselves.

Marking the beginnings of a relationship (wedding, union, handfasting, etc.) is a great time to remember what brought you together and what you have accomplished along the way. Similarly, anniversaries of endings can be moments to recall we have come and how we have changed. For example, nearly a decade after the fact, I still remember the date when I finally decided to end an abusive relationship. It marks not only the end but also a new beginning, the new me. Celebrate your moments of strength in dark times as well as your triumphs in the best of times.

What other important moments mark significant changes in your life? A college graduation date, the day you arrived in a new place, an initiation or elevation into a tradition, the day you met you best friend, or the day you reconciled with someone — all are possible things you might choose to acknowledge on a yearly basis.

Daily Horoscope Monday, May 11, 2020

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you must be patient because Mercury is now in the part of your chart that deals with communications (plus it’s the planet of communication); and today specifically, it is at odds with Mars. This encourages arguments! Stay chill. Be smart.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Avoid disputes about financial matters or something you own because it’s very easy to be at odds with someone today, especially about money and wealth. Perhaps the dispute is about earnings? Either way, anger will not help. Be cool.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

“It was Monday. It was Monday all day.” Heads up. Your ruler Mercury is in your sign now at odds with fiery Mars, which is at the top of your chart. This could trigger arguments with parents, bosses, VIPs and the police. You need this like a fish needs a bicycle. Stay chill.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you might be doing a slow burn about something. You are not happy. This unhappy feeling might be triggered by the media, the news, dealing with a foreign country or something to do with medicine or the law. Whatever the case, let it go. For your own peace of mind. You come first.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

An argument with a friend or a member of a group might erupt today because Mercury is at odds with fiery Mars. This could relate to funding or how something is divided or shared. Regardless of the issue at hand – for your own peace of mind, don’t get involved. Chill out.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Mercury is your ruler and it’s at the top of your chart right now at odds with Mars. This is bad news for dealing with authority figures – parents, bosses and the police. Hey, don’t take the bait. Remain calm. Never underestimate the power of courtesy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you might fall into an argument about politics, religion or racial issues. So easy to do right now when people are so divided and biased. Step away from his argument. There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Steer clear of disputes about inheritances, shared property and insurance issues. Perhaps you are unhappy about expenses related to kids and social events? Whatever the cause of this conflict, do your best to avoid it because it benefits no one. (Especially you.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Steer clear of arguments with partners and close friends because they can easily occur today. Each person things that they’re right. That’s how people end up at loggerheads. Remember that optimism and a positive attitude are what you need in life. Not arguments.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Work-related arguments might occur today, which benefits no one. Not only do these arguments make people unhappy, they are anti-productive. Likewise, disputes about a pet or possibly something related to your health might arise. Demonstrate grace under pressure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Parents must be patient with kids today to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns. Everyone is too ready to argue and disagree with each other. But what does this accomplish? It only makes everyone miserable. Take the high ground and be a role model for others. Be cool. You can influence others by setting a calm tone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Family disputes are par for the course today because of the placement of Mercury and Mars in your chart. Do be aware that you might be coming on too strong. “Moi?” Yes, you. Step back and give each exchange with someone else some breathing room. Whew!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Mary Elizabeth Ellis (1979) shares your birthday today. You are loyal and tenacious. You give careful thought before you make an important decision but then you stick to it. This will be a more relaxed year for you. Because your interactions with others will be important, do your best to cooperate with others. Look for ways to be kind and helpful. Be open to engaging with others because others will benefit you.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, May 10 to Saturday, May 16, 2020

All Signs

“These are the shadows of things that have been.” Charles Dickens wrote these words in 1843. By the end of this week, four planets will be retrograde – Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. (In reality, they always move forward in space; but in astrology, relative to Earth, they appear to be moving backwards.) Until Nov., there will be a sense of the past influencing our lives. Remember that everything that happens has both negative and positive aspects. One positive reality about these hard times is there are many more opportunities to practice kindness and generosity. And isolating at home has given new meaning to the idea of dressing for dinner.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week you continue your focus on money, earnings, possessions and your assets in general. This is because despite the fact that you’re an adventurous warrior, you are always concerned about your security, which is a good thing. When you get down to basics, the most important thing to know is where your bed is at night. Because lucky Jupiter is at the top of your chart now, you have divine protection! Therefore, do not worry. This particular blessing comes along only once every 12 years and for you, it’s for this whole year! Enjoy a chance to reconnect with siblings, relatives and neighbours because this will give you a warm feeling in your tummy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This continues to be a powerful time for you because the Sun is still in your sign, where it will stay until Wednesday, May 20. This is nothing to be dismissed. The Sun is in your sign for only four weeks each year, and this is always your best chance to re-energize yourself and feel rejuvenated. Meanwhile, two planets are in your Money House. It looks like you might decide to purchase something beautiful that you have been thinking about for a while. Some of you will also have a chance in the near future to explore travel that was delayed or postponed. Looking good!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Until Wednesday, May 20, when the Sun enters your sign for the first time in a year, you will continue to be low profile and stay in the wings. You’re happy working alone or behind the scenes; but you’re no shrinking violet because your ruler Mercury (plus Venus) are both in your sign now, making you talkative and sociable – even charming. Meanwhile, Mars is moving to the top of your chart, arousing your ambition! This is a strong influence and it occurs only once every two years, and when it does, it lasts for six weeks. Therefore, act on your aroused ambition. Get something done that matters.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are warm, emotional, nurturing person. And lately, you have a stronger than usual desire to reach out and contact with friends or members of groups. Act on your instinct to talk to others whether in person, by phone, online, Facebook or zooming because you need this emotional reinforcement right now. Maybe you need to nurture? Maybe you need to comfort someone? You like to be needed. Some of you might be in contact with a secret love from your past. (You devil.) Enrich your involvement with others because as much as you need to be in contact with them – they will feel happy and gratified to be in contact with you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have 10 more days to enjoy the Sun at the top of your chart. (This happens only once a year for four weeks.) It’s a blessing because it creates an illusion whereby others see you in flattering terms! They do not see your failings or flaws. Quite the opposite. They admire your talents! This means you don’t have to work to live up to anyone’s expectations because from their point of view, you have already succeeded. Obviously, this is the time to advance your agenda and make your pitch! Go after what you want because doors will open for you because you look like success waiting to happen. (Applause sign.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are a fact junkie. (Who knows more trivia than you?) In some ways, you have enjoyed the last few weeks because there’s been so much buzz about so many things – so many opinions – so many insane ideas – jaw-dropping events and the adventures of coping with a new way of being. This is all grist for your mill. You have 10 more days of having the thrill of discovering new ideas and meeting new contacts. The only downside is that with Mars moving opposite your sign for the next five weeks, you will be easily annoyed with partners and close friends. If you express your criticism – things will get worse. (You know this, it always does.) Consider this a personal challenge for cultivating patience, which is a virtue.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Good news! While some of you are busy with essential jobs, and others have their hands full with kids and homeschooling; nevertheless, many of you are schlepping around home in your robe while in isolation. And even though you are such a social sign, you find it easy to lay around for three days doing nothing. The good news is that this week Mars will start to energize you and inspire you to work hard and get all kinds of things done. Oh yeah! You’ll be PowerPoint on steroids until June. Not only will you be busy, efficient and productive, you will strive to get better organized in every aspect of your life. (Gasp.) Marie Kondo ain’t got nothing on you!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You must deal with your low-energy factor for about 10 more days, and then it will disappear and you will rise like a phoenix from the ashes. Oh yes. In fact, your creative urges are starting to percolate on the back burner, which means that until about mid-June, you’ll want to express your creative talents! Set up that easel. Pick up that guitar. Grab those knitting needles or do whatever it is you do to feel your creative juices flowing! In this same window of time, you will enjoy fun activities with kids. You will also want to explore sports in any way possible. You will also find it rewarding to be in contact with relatives, siblings and neighbours. Yea, get the scoop.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

For the next 10 days, your energy to work hard and get better organized will continue. It’s amazing what you’ve accomplished! Do be aware that this week, as Mars changes signs, it ushers in a new kind of increased activity and chaos on the home front. Visiting relatives or residential moves or repairs or renovations will suddenly make demands on your time and your patience. This unexpected activity might also create tension with family members. Fortunately, with Venus opposite your sign now, you will handle this with aplomb. You’ll be so cool, you’ll even where your shades in the shower.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This lighter, fun-loving, more playful time continues for the next 10 days, which is great for you. This same influence makes it easier for you to relate to kids and romantic partners. Meanwhile, Mercury and Venus promote warm relations with coworkers and colleagues, so in this respect, you are blessed as well. Nevertheless, a subtle shift begins this week. Mars moves into the part of your chart that influences your everyday life and especially your communications. It will encourage conflicts because you will be opinionated! It makes you want to “sell” your ideas to everyone. Lighten up. (This influence lasts until mid-June.) Oy! But you will be productive doing mental work.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Home, family and your private life continue to be your focus for the next 10 days. This influence, which has been at play for almost a month, has helped many of you who are working at home. It’s been easier for you to accept the “confinement.” (Which is a lot considering how freedom loving you are.) Starting this week, a new influence will creep into your life that makes you want to work harder than ever to earn money. And for many, this same influence will make you want to spend money, because you feel that what you own represents your personal worth. Don’t go crazy with this impulse and do keep your receipts and paperwork. Meanwhile, both Mercury and Venus sweeten your life in a playful way, which is a blessing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s been frustrating in some ways for you if you have been confined at home because in the last month, you’ve been more restless than usual. You want to get out and about. You want to interact with others and ideally, you want to travel or take short trips – all of which might be impossible. Beginning this week, Mars will be in your sign until June, which is a mixed blessing. The upside is that it boosts your energy in an amazing way. It will make you work hard to further your own interests and assert yourself with others. You will definitely be a fighter for your own rights and even the rights of others. You’ll have more physical energy and zest for life! But — you could be too pushy and come on too strong. Keep this in mind. Be nice to the little people.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have always been able to think “big.” That’s why this an excellent day to talk to bosses, VIPs, parents and anyone in authority. Pick up the phone or send that email because you’ll get results. Others will see that you have a knack for seeing the big picture – and they will listen to you.

The musing of a witch

Study session by Dawn

Beltane is know as the fertility Esbate, it is the time for the earth to be transformed from the cold and rain of spring to the bright and sunny time of summer. The god is building his strength as the days grow longer and the crops strengthen to give us life through the winter and early spring. The animals are fertile and some are even up to their second or third litter of the year. I saw a fat robin this morning with a big worm in its beak and I was wondering how many little birds she has and how many times so far this year has she raised a brood. (Life is Good)

I love this time of year as the crops start to come up, we as a household will have a wonderful garden this year thanks to Deacon Charles Mead, the days are lengthening so you can work outside for a longer time as evident of the painting I did yesterday.

One of the positive items of this year with the Corona Virus is I have had time to do many home improvement projects to make the ole homestead look the best it has in years, and these will continue through the summer. Thank goodness for the time and the beautiful weather so i can do this for the people I love

I hope you all take a minute or two in the next couple of days and give thanks to Gaia for all her bounty, take your shoes off and walk through the newly green grass or even spread a blanket and lay down and look at the clouds. This is the time of Earth’s abundance take a minute and appreciate the gift in whatever manner you chose to, just know that report, phone call to the boss, work assignment can wait 10 minutes as you pause to enjoy life.

There is no Time Like the Present- 8

  1. Detach

In the previous series- ‘There is no Time like the Present- Part 7’, I mentioned the power of ‘Release’, such a liberating word. However it is through ‘Detachment’, or non- attachment as it is used in Buddhism, that allows us true liberation from what Buddhists call Samsara or what is known as Karma.

What a wake up call we are receiving now!

A time to reflect, gain clarity, see fairness and evaluate ones responsibilities for themselves, their family, their community and their environment. It is important to recognize such patterns that are destructive as these are what keep us in Samsara. Its starts in your own head and ripples outward. It spills into the family, the community and into the rest of the world. Yes we are all responsible, we are a collective.

Moon Alert

Until 11 PM PDT today, we have the “all clear” to shop and do business. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Lately, you’ve been thinking about money and cash flow. Today you want to really look at something to see the underbelly of the situation. You know that if you can see the bottom line, you might see ways to improve things or make the best use of what you’ve got.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you’re attracted to mysteries and secrets, which is why you want to know what’s going on beneath the surface of things. Because you have these thoughts, you might also attract someone to you who has the answers. Or maybe, they just have the same questions?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your ability to research and discover solutions to old problems is excellent today. Your mind is penetrating and sharp, which is why you will go for the jugular, the minute you know you are near the answers that you seek. Keep working behind the scenes.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A conversation with someone else will be powerful today. This person might influence you in some way; or the situation might be reversed. You might have something to teach this person, and in fact, you might influence a group. (Heady stuff.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You make a strong impression on bosses, parents and VIPs today, which is why they will sit up and listen to you. Actually, as is often the case, this kind of powerful exchange goes both ways, which is why you are listening to somebody else as well. Take notes.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your ability to study something and get to the heart of the matter is excellent today. You see the subtext of things and the reason behind what is being said – or written. If you are finishing a manuscript, screenplay or an important paper, you will get to the heart of things.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

An exchange with someone close to you will be serious and profound today. People are talking about serious stuff. That’s why this is also a good day to consult an expert, a counsellor or psychologist because you’re willing to look at deep truths, including your own inner world.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Look around you to see how you can make improvements to your job or how you communicate to coworkers. Likewise, you might see ways that you want to improve your health. Of course! We can always do better. You might start by getting rid of something or stopping a harmful habit.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Because you are attracted to secrets today, you might enjoy spending time reading a mystery or a horror story or seeing this kind of movie. You definitely want to know what’s going on beneath the surface of things. Boo!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A conversation with a family member will be intense and profound today. You might learn something about yourself. You might learn something about someone else? Whatever you learn might be powerful enough to change your way of looking at something. (Wow.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It’s easy to be trapped or caught up in obsessive thinking today because you tend to be possessed by an idea that crowds out every other thought. Try to be aware of this. If you are really obsessed by something, you are the victim. Right? Try to distance yourself from the issue.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your communications are so powerful today, you will be able to persuade others to agree with you. You might also teach others to think the way you think. You might also show people the subtext of something so that they see the whole picture.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Wendy Crewson (1956) shares your birthday today. Sometimes you are bold, yet, sometimes you are cautious. Once you embrace an idea, you will patiently pursue it. This year you’re winding up many things you began nine years ago by letting go of what is no longer relevant and moving on to something new and different. You are lightening your load to get ready for new beginnings!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you’ll be productive with red-tape details about inheritances, taxes, insurance issues and such. Get this stuff out of the way so that you can feel pleased with yourself. Your ambition is strong, and Lady Luck is with you because the Sun is in your sign!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A serious discussion with a partner or close friend will yield practical results. Take advantage of this influence because sometimes serious talks go haywire. One person is serious and the other one is out to lunch. Today you can both agree on something.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a productive day for you either at work or with any task that you set for yourself because you are full of common sense and motivated to get things done. Someone older or in a position of authority might influence you or give you advice.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You look great in the eyes of others, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. This is why discussions with authority figures will go well. (People are willing to listen.) Meanwhile, today you can teach or impress young minds. Even they will listen to you!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

An older family member or someone in a position of authority at home or within the family will hold sway today. Be courteous. Listen to what is offered. After all, why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you? Learn from their experience and their mistakes. Eh wot?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a productive day because you’re in a sensible frame of mind. You have the mental tenacity to tackle routine work. You won’t overlook details. You have excellent follow-through. Later – you can reward yourself. (“Fresh horses and whiskey for my men!”)

If shopping online or doing financial negotiations today, you will be sensible and frugal. No feather boas today! Instead if you do shop, you will choose to buy long-lasting, practical items. You might also attend to banking details and do your best to save money.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Saturn, which means you have a wilful acceptance of duty. It will give you pleasure to keep things practical and orderly. Physical comfort will be secondary – results will be first. Expect to get a lot done!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Research of any kind will go well today because you are focused and mentally alert. Furthermore, your personal comfort is secondary to what it is that you actually want to accomplish. Work alone or behind the scenes. You might also research something that you will teach children.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A discussion with someone older or more experienced, probably a female, will be helpful today. It’s a curious how the older you get, you see how smarter your elders are? (My dad left home at 17 and when he returned four years later, he was surprised how much his dad had learned.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Relations with parents and authority figures will go well today because primarily, you are concerned with practical situations. Your approach will be steady Eddie and not flashy. The main thing is you know you want results. You also know the shortest distance between A and B is a straight line.

MAY 8 Moon Goddess’ Current Phase

The Moon will be in a Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with an illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9am and Midnight, depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning. During this phase, the Moon can also be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon.

How to See the Last Supermoon of 2020

Even if you’re stuck indoors during the pandemic, you can still catch May’s full moon, the last supermoon of 2020, which will appear full from Tuesday evening through Friday morning (May 5-8).

Technically, the full moon, which will be in the constellation Libra, will last only a moment. That will happen at 6:45 a.m. EDT (1145 GMT) on Thursday, May 7, when the side of the moon that faces Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, according to NASA. Skywatchers may also notice the “evening star” planet Venus, which was shining at its brightest of the year just last week, according to Space.com, a Live Science sister site.

May’s full moon is also known as the flower moon, a fitting moniker given that wildflowers and gardens are blooming all over the Northern Hemisphere. Other names for May’s full moon include the corn planting moon, milk moon and Vesak festival moon, which commemorates the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.

Daily Horoscope Thursday, May 7, 2020

Moon Alert

Until 10:15 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)

Financial issues might come to ahead today because of the Full Moon. Nevertheless, as Mercury dances with Neptune, you might be tempted to paint a rosy picture on things. Perhaps something looks better than it really is?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year. This is why you might be at odds with a close friend or partner. Nevertheless, your ESP is heightened, which allows you to “tune in” to others with greater sensitivity. Interesting! (“I see dead people.”)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today’s Full Moon might bring a situation related to your health or a pet or your job to a head. If so, you will instinctively know what to do because you are in touch with your vibes and your inner being. Trust your hunches.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Issues with kids might arise today. They might have hissy fits or meltdowns because of the energy of the Full Moon. Meanwhile, you are tuned in to the needs and wants of friends or a member of a group. It’s as if you can read someone’s mind. (Maybe you can?)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and public reputation today because of the opposition set up by the Full Moon. Whatever happens, you will stay in touch with your outer world and your public status.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be careful because today’s Full Moon creates slight accident-prone influence. This means you have to be aware and mindful. Think before you speak; think before you act. Make sure you are clear about important ideas before you endorse them.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Disputes with the government or with someone about an inheritance or anything to do with taxes and debt, today this situation might be resolved. Furthermore, you will feel sympathetic to the needs of others. This is a good thing but do not ignore your own self-interests because you count, too.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. This could introduce increased tension with you and someone close to you. Fortunately, Mercury, opposite your sign, in touch with Neptune, will increase the sensitivity of your communications with others. It also increases someone else’s ability to “read” you. (You’re all vowels!)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Avoid work that requires attention to detail and solid logic because today an element of confusion exists at your job or for any task that you set yourself. (This also includes important decisions regarding pets.) Think carefully before you make any decisions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Fun activities with kids might appeal to you today because you’re in a playful, fanciful mood. You might bring this same mood to a romantic situation. Nevertheless, today’s Full Moon could create confusion. Tread carefully.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You cannot ignore the demands of home and family today even though you feel pulled in another direction. If you explore matters at home or within the family, you will find that this is where your sympathies lie. People are aware of you today because you are high viz.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an accident-prone day for you because of the energy of the Full Moon. This means you have to pay attention to everything you say and do. Slow down and take it easy. Meanwhile, your psychic abilities are heightened today. (Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

CBE, physicist/meteorologist Joanna Haigh (1954) shares your birthday today. Although you value your security, you put the needs of others before your own. Because this is a year of teaching and learning, you will learn something that sets you in a new direction, which could be crucial for your success next year. Explore meditation, yoga or any discipline that will help you to get a better understanding of who you are.

May 6 Moon Goddess’ Current Phase

Today the Moon will be in a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.
