Month: September 2022

No Posts Today

I am very sorry. I know I said I would be back with all the regular daily posts today but I do not have the energy or mental capacity to do them. I only got three hours of sleep as my mind was full of thoughts about Sonny, all our children, my four and his eight besides our son, our grandchild and other descendants. When I got woken up this morning by mine and Lord Beltane’s fur daughter Dreamer my pillow was wet from tears shed while I was dreaming. I know dear Sisters, brothers, and honored guests that you understand that grieving is a personal thing and everyone handles it different and through a different time span. I will be back to regular posts I hope tomorrow until than may each of you have positive blessings through out your day.

Thank You for Your Loving Support

Thank you all for your loving and continuous support. All the physical things are done and Sonny’s body has been laid to rest. Over time the emotional part will heal.

I hope to get back to regular posting and answering emails on Friday. I need to get my mind back from the dead to the living but more just have some quite time with Lord Beltane and our fur kids. I am a wreck and totally exhausted from the roller-coaster my emotions have been on this past 8 days.

Until wee meet again blessed be Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests.

Lady Beltane Unavailable Until Thursday, September 22

I am taking the next 3 days to celebrate and mourn the life and death of my former partner. I will not be reading and answering emails or doing any posting. The birthday horoscope and current Moon phase will be posted.

I am sorry but the Mabon/Imbolc issue of Life in The Craft is not ready to be published. The Samhain/Beltane issue will also have articles covering the previous 2 Northern and Southern Hemispheres Sabbats.

A Death in Lady Beltane’s Family

My middle son’s father crossed the veil Tuesday night. Although it was expected it still saddens me deeply. I am not in a frame of mind to do posts this morning. I will try to get both hemispheres today and tomorrow posts done later today but this new development in my life has caused a very bad fibromyalgia flare so I am limited on how long I can type.

Sonny was a man whose later years revolved around his 9 children and all his descendants. He proudly served in the U. S. Army and belonged to the V. F. W. and served as a Commander for his post. He was also a member of the American Legion and Elks clubs.

I remember him most for the close friendship and love we shared for over 40 years. He is my only ex I talked to regularly. We might not have been a couple for many years but our shared love of our son always kept us close. I got to spend time with him at the end of July when we celebrated our or at least my youngest grandson’s 3rd birthday.

I send him off with love and the wings of an eagle to the Summerlands.

A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!

September 13, 2022 Daily Horoscopes

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today until 9:30 PM PDT. The Moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a powerful day for you, and an excellent way to begin your week. You might decide to be more low-key and enjoy your own solitude. If you spend time with others, your choice will be to seek out older or more serious people. Someone might have advice for you today.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Solitude in beautiful surroundings will appeal to you today because you feel the need for peace and quiet. This is a good day for serious discussions with bosses, parents and VIPs, especially about future plans and career options. This is a playful time for you; nevertheless, today is more serious.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You have lots of energy to give to home projects and redecorating. You might also entertain this week. Today a conversation with someone older or more experienced might benefit you. Perhaps this person has good advice for you? (It never hurts to listen.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you are high viz., which means people notice you more than usual. Fortunately, you will make a strong impression on others because you look conscientious, conservative, and reliable. People in authority will listen to you (and vice versa).

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a good day to study, or finish a writing project or a manuscript. Your excellent powers of concentration will help you make travel plans, and explore legal matters or anything related to medicine and higher education.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a solid day to address issues related to shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances because you’re in the right frame of mind to deal with routine, red-tape matters. Your powers of concentration are excellent; furthermore, you will be patient and persevering. This is good.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A discussion with a partner or close friend will be serious today. You will stick to the facts because you’re in a sober frame of mind. Whatever you do, you will do it carefully and thoroughly, which is why this is the day to hammer out the details of an agreement.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a productive day for you because you’re ready to work conscientiously and persevere at any task until it is done. You will put duty before pleasure; furthermore, you will be frugal and thrifty in your decisions. You’ll be pleased with your accomplishments!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a good day to teach children or younger minds. Likewise, it’s a good day to train them in sports or any other discipline that requires perfecting a technique. You might also improve your own technique in the arts or in sports. You want to get something right.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A discussion with a parent or an older family member will go well today because all parties seem to be concerned with practical results. You won’t overlook details. You will persevere in whatever you do because you will be thrifty, careful and thorough. (Admirable!)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a solid day to study and learn something because you have the concentration necessary to do so. You don’t want to spend time chatting over the proverbial fence. Instead, you want to get something done, especially something that yields practical results. Bravo!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

When it comes to financial matters today, or shopping, you will be frugal, thrifty and practical. This is because you’re in a conservative frame of mind. This same frame of mind will help you to come up with solutions and better approaches on how to handle domestic matters and issues at home.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress, singer Emmy Rossum (1986) shares your birthday today. You are clever. You are a quick study, and accurate when it comes to sizing up a situation. You are also hard-working, generous and warm hearted. This year is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means take stock, wrap up things and get ready for new beginnings next year.
