A Thought for Today – Soul Contract

The idea bred false conclusions

And a fateful contract

Signed in blood

Ancient text with ancient rite

Demon summoning

Lonely crossroads

It sounded easy

No payment due

Saved until a future day

Bargaining with your soul

What’s the value

None can say

They rather trade it away

Earthly pleasures

They’re easy to see

Wealth, fame, power

Living life so lavishly

Yet time

Time’s a mortal enemy

Try not to think

That eternal damnation

A constant cycle of cremation

But only after pain

And so much suffering

Distract yourself

Try not to see

Deal with it eventually

You want it now

Everything

Eternal youth and diamond rings

Pleasures only flesh can bring

Forgotten was the ancient spell

Your private highway

Your road to hell

Tied now to the hourglass

Amazing run will travel fast

The pact fulfilled

The payment due

Now he comes

Comes for you

Famous Pacts with Demons

Robert Johnson – American Blues Musician – His shadowy life and early death at age 27 gave rise to the legend that he traded his soul to the devil for fame and fortune

Johann Faust – Fifteenth century alchemist, astrologer, and magician whose life became the focal character in the popular tale of Dr. Faust who entered into a pact with Mephistopheles, exchanging his soul for 24 years of service.

Urbain Grandier – A French Catholic priest who was burned at the stake for witchcraft in 1634.  One of the documents used in his trial was a pact between the devil and Grandier, written in Latin and covered in strange markings.  It was known as the  Pactum foederis Urbani Grandieri.

March Astrology Events Taking Place in 2023

From msn.com

Ready to stop and smell the roses? March astrology events not only usher in a new season—hello, spring equinox—but a new mindset that’ll help us embrace deep transformations.

There’s a lot to jot down, so we hope you have your 2023 planners handy (which make great astrology gifts, as you likely know).

March astrology events in 2023

This month, we will part ways with Pisces season, enter Aries season and gear up for the “hugely impactful movements” headed our way, according to our March 2023 horoscope. If you’re curious to see what the stars have in store, allow our cosmic experts to give you the scoop on the Universe’s next moves.

(Oh, and better enjoy the calm before the storm—no planets are in retrograde, but that will change come April with none other than Mercury retrograde 2023.)

Pisces Season

  • When: February 18 to March 20, 2023

Pisces season 2023 is making room for the newness that’s about to enter your life this spring.

“Clearing out the old is exactly what will make you thrive during and after this season,” Nebula’s astrologer, Patrick Price previously told us. “To do this, you must declutter. And, yes, this means your physical space and things, but also the mental and emotional.”

Jupiter conjuncts Venus

  • When: March 1, 2023

When Venus conjuncts Jupiter, things will feel auspicious, particularly for the luckiest star sign in March.

“It’s the perfect time to celebrate love, friendship and new opportunities,” says astrologer Michelle Bell, the founder of the Cosmic Fusion app. “For Aries in particular it could also mean travel, new business opportunities and money-making ventures.

The Full Moon

  • When: March 7, 2023

The March full moon 2023 is going to be an exciting lunation for everyone, regardless of what their astrological birth charts say.

“There is a lot of positivity to look forward to around the full moon: increased clarity, bold action-taking, attracting money easily and even connecting meaningfully with loved ones,” Price, previously told us.

The New Moon

  • When: March 21, 2023

“The new moon in Aries at the end of March is one of our last chances to set lunar intentions and manifestations before the first eclipse portal begins in April,” says astrologer Liz Simmons. “The new moon is bold, fresh and fiery—a perfect lunation to ring in the astrological new year and spring.”

Spring Equinox

  • When: March 21, 2023

It’s like spring cleaning for the stars. The equinox is a motivating and rejuvenating experience.

“It’s a time of renewed energy, motivation and outward focus, so reach out to friends and start putting a fire under your personal goals,” astrologer Nina Kahn previously told us.

Aries season

  • When: March 21 to April 20, 2023

It’s OK to be a little selfish during Aries season—it’s actually encouraged.

“It’s a great time to set intentions for you as a person, not including anything else or anyone else in that vision,” Simmons said. “[It’s time to] do things for us: honor ourselves, honor our bodies and do things that work for us.”

Happy March, friends! Enjoy all that the cosmos have to offer.

March 2023 Moon Details

The Full Moon for this month will occur early in the month on Tuesday, March 7th. The New Moon will happen later in March on Tuesday, March 21st.

March Full Worm Moon

March’s full moon is commonly called the Full Worm Moon. This is because of the earthworms that wriggle out of the ground as the earth begins to thaw in March. Here’s a little known fact about March’s full moon: it was called the Worm Moon only by Southern Native American tribes. In fact, there’s no way the Northern tribes would have ever called it the Worm Moon – and the reason why is fascinating.

Essentially, earthworms did not exist in Northern America. It would be literally impossible for Northern tribes to see worms popping up in March. All the earthworms you see in Northern America today are invasive species brought in by colonists. These earthworms were brought over either out of a misguided intent to help fertilize the soil, or as an accident along with transported plants or the soil used for ballast in ships. Little did the colonists know that during the last ice age, glaciers had spread so far across Canada and the northern parts of the United States that all earthworms had been completely wiped out.

When the deep ice melted 12,000 years ago, the native forests in those areas grew back and adapted to the loss of earthworms. The growth of these forests became dependent on a layer of duff, which is a compost layer comprised of decomposing leaves and other rotting organic matter. If you ever visit one of these native forests, you will be asked to clean your shoes and make sure it’s free of earthworm eggs. That’s because while it’s normally harmless everywhere else, earthworms will aggressively destroy the native forest’s duff layer by eating right through it.

This is why in Northern American tribes such as the Shawnee tribe, the Worm Moon is called the Sap Moon instead, as a reminder for the tribes that they can begin tapping maple syrup. In general, March’s full moon is known as a herald for the beginning of spring and new agricultural cycles. The Anglo-Saxons even used the Worm Moon as a way to predict the state of their crops. They called it the Storm Moon if it was stormy, which was a sign that their crops would fail. But if it was dry, they called it the Rugged Moon, an indication of a bounteous harvest.

One of its other names is the Chaste Moon, symbolizing the purity of early spring. The Pueblo tribe named it the Moon When the Leaves Break Forth, while in Shoshone culture it was known as the Warming Moon. Sometimes it is called the Crow Moon, after the crows and other birds that appear as winter draws to a close. Other times, it’s called the Crust Moon, because of the snow that becomes crusty when it thaws in the sun and freezes in the moonlight.

In India, March’s full moon is also seen as a symbol of the arrival of spring, and coincides with the festival of Holi. This is a riotous party where Indian communities all around the world engage in a huge water fight. Everyone goes out into the streets and sprays each other with colored water and powders, singing and dancing with strangers and loved ones alike. Playing and feasting together is a chance for you to repair relationships that have gone bad, reaffirming your existing social bonds as you move forward together into the new year.

March 2023 Gardening Moon Calendar

From mooncalendar.astro-seek.com

Please read this first:

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.

Please read this first:

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.

Days and nights are exactly equal, the sun rises and sets in the exact east and west. This holiday represents the first creation, but also the annual creation (planting so crops grow each year) and most symbolic, the perpetual creation. Fertility symbols abound such as eggs and rabbits. Spring or Vernal Equinox begins a forty day period which culminates with May Day, another fertility Spring festival of ancient origin. The other three forty day periods are: Fall Equinox (Sept 22 or 23) to Halloween/AllSaints Day (Oct. 31, Nov.1), Dec. 25 to Imbolc/Candlemas (Feb 1 or 2) and of course, Lent. Lent is the forty day period beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending on Easter Sunday every year.

Since 1970, the Catholic Church no longer recognizes this day for Gabriel, ending a thousand year plus tradition by opting to lump him in with Raphael and Michael for a Feast of the Holy Archangels Day on Sept 29. Originally the Church had an angel for each of the four “corners” of the year, the solstices and equinoxes. It was the Church’s only recognition of these “pagan” holy days.

A Laugh for Today

Wishing you love and laughter everyday of your life!

Goddess OF The Day: MIELIKKI

MIELIKKI

Tyvendedagen (Norway)

Themes: Change; Providence
Symbols: Bear; Grain; Woodland Plants

About Miellikki: The Finnish Goddess of game, hunting, and the forest,
Mielikki protects our resources during the remaining cold season by
keeping the pantry filled. As the Goddess of abundant grain, she also
encourages the return of fertility to the earth.
To Do Today: Go into your kitchen and get a small handful of any
grain-based cereal. Take this outside and release a pinch of it to the
earth, saying,
Mielikki, see this grain and bless, return to earth in fruitfulness.
Hear the prayer that fills my heart; to my home, providence impart.
Take the remaining pinch back in the house and store it in an airtight
container, symbolically preserving your resources.
Tyvendedagen means “twentieth day after Christmas.” In Norway, today
marks the official end of the Yule season. It’s celebrated with races,
sleigh rides and the storage of ornaments and by burning the Christmas
tree to drive away winter. So, when you dismantle your Yule tree, keep a
jar full of its needles handy. Burn these throughout the year to banish
frosty feelings or to warm up a chilly relationship. The pine smoke,
being from a woodland tree, also draws Mielikki’s attention to any
pressing needs you may have.

Cattywampus

Brought to you by wordoftheday.net

Cattywampus / Adjective / cat·​ty·​wam·​pus

Cattywampus is an American-based colloquialism or slang that etymologists believe to be of Scottish influence. We use “cattywampus” in the English language as an adjective. The word has alternate spellings and we also use it as “catawampus.” This American-based noun modifier has a multi-part description. In one sense of the word, “cattywampus” describes people, places or things we believe to be fierce, animal-like or savage. When used in this sense, the word describes someone we see as frightening.

In a Sentence

The cattywampus became upset and lunged at me!

I’m terribly afraid of a “cattywampus” staring at me when I ride public transportation.

That “cattywampus” of a woman is coming this way, and she looks very upset!

Etymology

Etymologists say we find the word “cattywampus” used in North American-based slang in the late 1800s. American English-speakers used “cattywampus” to describe people with outrageous temperaments and those seen to go “off-kilter” or ‘awry’ with little provocation. This colloquial slang has been in use with its original definition since its inception in 1864.

Synonym

Awry, Twisted

Antonyms

SIDE NOTE:

In my family we used this word to mean something being off kilter.

Flower Meaning, Symbolize, and Spiritual Meaning

White Flower Symbolism and Meanings from uniguide.com

White flower symbolism includes purity, innocence, faith, spiritual enlightenment, and messages from angels. In addition, it can symbolize femininity. Because of these meanings, many people associate the color white with new beginnings, such as weddings, births, and memorial services.

Because white flowers are given at funerals and memorials, many think white flowers represent death. However, the gift of white flowers is to honor the transition of the loved one to the spiritual realm. In a sense, the color white exemplifies honor for the cycle of life.

It’s important to keep in mind that white flower symbolism can have slight variations based on the type of flower. For example, white poppies symbolize restful sleep and the eternal life of the soul. White irises symbolize hope for new beginnings.

Thus, people often give them as gifts when babies are born or christened. In addition, brides and bride’s maids will carry them in their bouquets. A white lotus flower, on the other hand, symbolizes divine feminine energy, fertility, and spiritual enlightenment. While white lilies symbolize purity, beauty, faith, and angels.

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a lovely day to schmooze with others because you are upbeat, optimistic and ready to think big! However, think twice before you commit to anything or agree to do something for someone because you might bite off more than you can chew. (And you can chew a lot.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be careful with financial matters today, this includes financial negotiations as well as spending money or shopping. You might think something looks better than it really does, which means you should give everything a sober second thought. If shopping – keep your receipts.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Moon is in your sign today dancing with Jupiter, which makes you feel friendly and popular with others, especially groups. You will feel benevolent and generous to those around you. Furthermore, you will be forgiving and willing to take the high road if disputes occur. Practice moderation.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your interest in spiritual and religious matters will be strong today. It will be interesting to talk to a group that has information that is intriguing or mind expanding. You want to learn more and you have an open mind today. It’s a good day for self-reflection.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a wonderful day to enjoy the company of others, especially female acquaintances. You will love the stimulation of meetings and interactions with clubs and organizations. In particular, you will find it rewarding to work for a charitable group where you can do some good.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You make a wonderful impression on others today, which is something you might be able to use to your advantage. However, be aware that you will be tempted to be excessive or go overboard in some way. You might feel you should go along with things or agree with others. Be careful!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Fascinating conversations plus a chance to explore studies or ideas about philosophy, metaphysics, politics and religion will appeal to you today. Look for ways to help others if you can. You’re hungry to learn and expand your world! You will also jump at any chance to travel. Bon voyage!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you might be involved with third-party finances or dealing with the wealth and resources of your partner or someone else. This includes discussions about inheritances, shared property and insurance matters. Don’t give away the farm! Maintain a healthy self-interest.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You feel benevolent and caring to others today, which is why you will overlook little details that might normally be irksome. Possibly, you will attract someone who is “thinking big” to you. If so, you will have an uplifting conversation about thought-provoking ideas. Enjoy!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Work-related travel is likely for many of you today. In either case, you will benefit from working with others, especially groups. As you interact with others, you will want to benefit someone in a caring way if you have a chance. You might join like-minded friends to improve your neighbourhood, or your country.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a lovely day to kick back and relax. Accept invitations to schmooze with others. You’re full of good feelings and you’re in a positive frame of mind. In discussions about politics and religion, keep things light because it’s easy to suddenly get self-righteous and opinionated. Yes, even you.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Lupita Nyong’o (1983) shares your birthday today. You love beauty and see the world through the eye of an artist. You are determined and have the strength of your own convictions. This is a slower paced year. Take time to rejuvenate yourself. Concentrate on your needs and what brings you happiness, especially in relationships.

March 1, 2023 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Visit the March 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase
