A Thought for Today

I saw this quote and knew it would be in time with many of our personal drummers. Always be proud of who you are and hold your head high with your shoulders up and squared no matter what others might say or post on social media about you, or even the way someone looks at you. Remember you are who you are supposed to be and to Hades with what others think about you.

Until we meet again blessed be dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Sun enters your sign where will stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs it gives you a wonderful boost to your energy. It is your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. It also attracts people and favourable circumstances to you. Yay!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

As your birthday looms ahead, this means your personal year is coming to an end. Therefore, the next four weeks are an ideal time for you to do some reassessing about where you are and imagine what you want for your future. Start to strategize a new path.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For the next four weeks, you will be more involved with friends as well as participating in clubs, groups and organizations. This is the perfect window of time to examine the role that these friendships and relationships play in your life. Remember, your friends are a reflection of you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Sun will be at the top of your chart for the next four weeks. This can only occur once a year and when it does, it symbolizes that you are in the spotlight.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Home, family and your private life will be your main focus in the next four weeks. Many of you will be more involved than usual with a parent. Memories of the past will be bubbling to the surface of your mind. Good time to see a counsellor.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because you’re busy! You’ve got places to go, things to do and people to see! This is also an excellent time to study and learn. Enjoy meeting new faces and seeing new places.

April 20, 2022 Birthday Horoscope Digest

May the next year of your life be better than the past year!

IF YOU ARE BORN ON April 20, you are an Aries birthday individual who is capable of being very logical and considerate. In certain situations, you remain calm when other people would go nuts. That kind of collectiveness is certainly useful in management positions or while parenting.

If today is your birthday, you are likely to think with your heart sometimes instead of your brain. This can give people the impression that you are spacey or wishy-washy even.

The April 20th birthday personality seems to like the tranquility of peaceful and undisclosed settings. This Arian likes to take his or her time and tends to have a soft-spoken and pleasing disposition. You do not like massive crowds nor do you like to be hurried. Some may think that you are a little precarious or moody because of it.

Most of your friends love your warm and caring attitude but more so your imagination. You have always been a curious individual and like to be in control over your state of affairs.

However, there are times when you get a little depressed and feel out of sorts. Nothing, not even a day out with your favorite people would cure you. Treating yourself to a spa day or a picnic would change your mood in no time.

The 20th April birthday horoscope predicts that you are close to your friends and family. You are a valued loved one but there could be a lot of pressure associated with these relationships. Arians born today want to live by their own set of rules and may have developed other values than what was forced upon them as a child.

As an Aries born on this zodiac birthday, you love to be chased. This is unlike most other Arians. In a relationship you look for someone who is loyal, has emotional maturity, and who has compelling urges for momentary pleasures.

The April 20 birthday astrology rightly shows that you can be taxing, at times, persistent and controlling but you try to remain realistic. You give your word… people can count on it. You, as a rule, do not go around making impossible promises.

You who are born on this day have ambitions. With your mind set on living a worry-free lifestyle, you work on achieving financial goals. You know how to use the salary you were given to your advantage but you will accept the highest paid position offered.

Money management is one your best assets. You know when to buy and when to save. Some say that money is evil but you believe that not having enough makes people do desperate things.

The 20 April birthday meanings show that you need to have a balance between eating nutritious meals and fitness. Since you are usually active, you need to eat better food than what they serve at the drive-thru windows. Stay away from those tantalizing dessert trays and make regular appointments with all health care physicians.

Those of you born this day have careers that come with stress so be watchful of signs that something may be wrong. Working out or meditation will be useful tools to help with nervous tension. In addition, it will help maintain that youthful appearance you desire.

The 20th April birthday personality is said to live in their own world. You have the ability to stay calm during stressful times or crises. You have problems, however, staying away from junk foods. Your image is important to you, as you want to live the tranquil life of one who is respected and successful.

This Aries prefer the peaceful sounds of the country rather than the hustle and bustle of city life. If you were born on April 20, your birthday characteristics show that you are good with handling money.

You know how to save for rainy days, as you are no stranger to disappointment and setbacks. Aside from bouts with slight depression, you are in excellent mental health.

Five of Swords Tarot Card Description

The Five of Swords card depicts a young man who has a very convenient look of contempt on his face. He is looking at the enemies that he has managed to conquer. There are five swords that he possesses – which he has taken from the other combatants who are in the card. The two other figures are walking away from him in a slow manner with a sense of loss and sadness. Above them, the sky is tumultuous and cloudy, which indicates that not everything is well, despite the fact that the battle is already over.

Rune

This Rune indicates that you have to fertilize the soil for your own liberation. Everything is changing, and we cannot live constantly in the midst of obstacles.

 Uillean

Ui (sometimes interpreted as Pe) is Uillean, the Honeysuckle. Associated with the manifestation of will, the Honeysuckle starts as a small seed and creeps along, growing and spreading over time. Honeysuckle twists and spirals up and over its surroundings, its soft yellow flowers releasing a sweet scent. It is the flower of unspoken desire, hidden needs, secret wants, but it also represents our goals of finding our true Self.

From a medicinal standpoint, the honeysuckle can be useful as well. Dioscorides says,

“the ripe seed gathered and dried in theshadow and drunk for four days together, doth waste and consume away the hardness of the spleen and removeth wearisomeness, helpeth the shortness and difficulty of breathing, cureth the hicket (hiccough), etc. A syrup made of the flowers is good to be drunk against diseases of the lungs and spleen.”

Uillean Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means you need to allow yourself the freedom to pursue your desire. If you’ve got hopes or dreams that are unattained, now is your time to start considering whether they’re remain just dreams, or become reality. Denying yourself the chance to enjoy life is unfair.

Magical Aspects: Take the time to experience joy, but make sure you stay true to your values and beliefs as well. In many Wiccan traditions, the Charge of the Goddess is quoted as a reminder of this: All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. Another aspect of this symbol is that sometimes, mysteries which seem to be hidden may not be as hard to delve into as you think–sometimes, you’ve just been sidetracked by distractions.

Sage rulers dedicated their lives to serving a Higher Power and built temples that still endure.

The King approaches his temple.
Success if you stay on course.
You may cross to the far shore.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Walls meant to protect have instead separated and isolated.
Your defenses have kept you apart from those whom you most need to touch.
Whatever the reason for discord between you, it is time to lay down your arms.
Dispel the inflexible demands and fears of the Mind so that you may reunite in the Heart.
If you have begrudged, forgive.
If you have torn down, repair.
If you have injured, heal.
If you have judged, pardon.
If you have grasped, let go.

Four

Positive qualities

 

The positive qualities of the Four could be described as purely men’s virtues if thousands of women didn’t have them. This is high endurance, exceptional working ability, personal organization, commitment to principles and equanimity. You are firm in your beliefs, most important of which is that nothing in this world comes for free, and any reward is to be deserved.

That’s why people of your kind are the foundation of any society. They know what to do and can implement it in practice. There is nothing heroic in your manifestations, but all your life is a feat. As a consequence, only few admire you, but everyone respects you.

Negative qualities

When someone wants to point out the Four’s weakness, they first mention their stubbornness, slowness and tediousness. From a certain point of view, so it is: you always take your time not to make mistakes, and you’ll hold your ground up to the end without losing a chance to rub your opponent’s nose in their errors.

Moreover, you never hide your skeptical attitude towards rattle heads, shallow and irresponsible people. Therefore, you are often accused of being too suspicious, and your zero-tolerance of idleness and unwillingness to waste time on idle pleasures gives others a reason to consider you sullen and hard-grained.

Name Numerology…

Angel Number

From Angel-Numbers.com

Forty – Four

Angels are close to you. If you need help from them, ask them. It can be about anything that brings good things to your life and to people around you. Don’t waste your time and energy to come up with a solution to your problems. There is no need to. Gods infinite wisdom will guide Angels the right way. Just tell them whats bothering you and it will be solved the best way possible.

Planet Line over New York Bridge

Image Credit & Copyright: Stan Honda

Explanation: There’s an interesting sky to see if you wake up before the Sun. Lined up on toward the eastern horizon are four planets in a row. The planets are so bright they can even be seen from the bright sky inside a city. In fact, the featured image was taken from New York City, USA, with the foreground highlighted by the RFK (Triborough) Bridge. Pictured, the planets are, left to right, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Saturn. The planets all appear in a row because they all orbit the Sun in the same plane. This plane, called the ecliptic plane, was created in the early days of our Solar System and includes all planets, including Earth. The morning planet parade will continue throughout April and May, and will even be joined by Mercury in June.

A Great Website for Irish Pagan Information

I have been following this website Irish Pagan School for about two years and have taken a couple of courses through them about Irish Celtic Paganism. The first course I took was on Ogham and even though I have been reading ogham Staves for years I learned somethings I was doing wrong that would affect a reading and some new ways to go about using the Ogham alphabet. Their courses are do not cost a lot for the information you can gain plus you can go back to the material time and time again.  You will get almost daily information usually in the form of a video through youtube.com. You can find the list of a variety of topics here by Irish Pagan School Videos I highly recommend watching a few if you are all interested in Celtic Paganism. Even with their Irish accent they are easy to understand.

Yesterday’s email announced a new way to gain information and I am really looking forward to listening to their podcasts. Here is the email I received including the link for the podcasts.

 

Printable – April 2022 Northern Hemisphere Gardening/Planting Moon Calendar

Thank you to Dr. Digital Philosophy for giving me the little push I needed to put the idea in my head to post this. I will post whatever other months I can find the month before, hopefully for both hemispheres.

Please read this first:

From Astro-Seek.com

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

  • a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
  • b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

  • a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
  • b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

Biodynamic Calendar – Icon Legend

  • Ex: Cabbage, Salads, Lettuce, Spinach, Green onions, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Celeriac.
  • Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days).
  • Harvesting in Leaf days is not recommended (products start decomposing in a shorter time).
  • Beekeeping: Working with the hive is not recommended in Leaf days.
Fruit Days Fruit days (Fire Element)

  • It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants that produce Fruits and Seeds.
  • Ex: Cherry, Strawberry, Tomato, Pea, Bean, Corn, Pumpkin, Nut, Cereal, Courgette.
  • Harvesting in Fruit days allows fruits and seeds to have a better storage quality.
  • Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days).

  • Flowers, if cut in these days, have a more intense scent and endure longer.
  • Leaf plants should be harvested in these Flower days.
  • Beekeeping: Flower days stimulate brood activity and colony development. Bees are also supposed to be more gentle these days.
