The Hierophant – Major Arcana
Meanings in a Tarot Reading
The Hierophant is the fifth card in the Major Arcana. He is represented by a religious figure that sits in a church environment and is also known as the High Priest in some decks.
The Hierophant Tarot Card represents a group with obligatory rules, procedures and rituals. These groups can be everything from churches, schools, clubs, teams, even companies or societies.
This card tells of a time to pursuit knowledge or seeking a deeper meaning and increasing understanding.
When The Hierophant appears in a reading, it indicates having a belief system, learning a religious tradition or following a discipline.
Upright Position
The Upright position of The Hierophant suggests that you are thinking about joining a group, religious or any other type.
That would mean that you should conform to their rules, adapt to the system and fit in.
Doing what is expected and devoting energy to the group is the next thing to do.
The appearance of this card in a reading might indicate that you are giving your power away to someone or even to a group of people.
You might not be taking responsibility for your life and beliefs so you surrender your free will to others.
The Hierophant might also represent a role model in your life, someone you look up to.
Learn what you need from this person and then create your own beliefs and opinions.
This card represents initiation so you can expect some kind of change to occur in your life.
It can represent baptism, marriage, a funeral, entering a college or graduation. You can also expect some kind of spiritual initiation.
When it appears in a spread, The Hierophant might suggest you are following a new belief system.
The loss of some individuality in your life will be balanced by the great sensation of being a part of something bigger than yourself.
Work
The presence of this card in a reading might suggest that a mentor or a teacher you were waiting for appears in your life now. He could improve the way you understand problems at work and increase your productiveness.
The Hierophant tells you this might be a good time to join a group, be it a religious group or any other kind. You can learn many things from them and the closeness to other people will do you good.
Love
The presence of this card in a spread can suggest you are in a very traditional and conventional relationship and you might not be happy.
If this is the case, maybe you should think better and see that breaking the rules of the conventional is not the end of the world. You deserve to be happy.
If you are in a fulfilling relationship, the appearance of The Hierophant indicates that you are thinking of taking a traditional approach with your relationship such as getting married and settling down.
Health
The appearance of The Hierophant now might mean that you should take the traditional therapeutic way for maximum success.
You can try meditation and other types of rituals to increase your health state. It is good to have rituals and positive habits in your diet and in your life-style.
Finances
When this card appears in a reading, it suggests that you should take a conservative and traditional path when it comes to handling your finances.
Maybe you can hire a professional who can help you manage your assets better.
It is not a good time for taking risks with investments.
Reversed
When The Hierophant comes in a reversed position, it talks of rebellion and breaking the rules. You might be feeling oppressed by the old rules so now it’s the time to be free and take your own decisions.

Hagall
Sound: “h”
Stands for: Hail
Casting meaning: Just like hail will eventually transform into water we need to see that situations in our lives will do just the same. They will make a transformation from something restricting to something that flows more readily for us. This is what Hagall represents, a transformation of a situation into something more simple.

Nuin
Communication, transit, distribution, messaging, swiftness, sense of humor
Tree: Ash (Fraxinus spp.)
Letter: N
Social intelligence is a highly underrated skill. The thousands of factors that go into communicating effectively with others (human or otherwise) takes a level of intelligence that is too subtle and complex to be measured… social intelligence is an art. Nuin is a Few that speaks to speed and dexterity in communication, usually in putting a message out there to the community. Nuin means you are linked in to a community and are open to both receiving and transmitting messages. If you are working on your communication skills and reaching people (which we should all be doing) then Nuin indicates it is working.
Nuin has ties to the Norse god Odin (Germanic Wotan) who has ties to the Roman god Mercury. Mercury is the messenger, god of commercial enterprises, communication, and thieves. You can see why ancient Mercury might have a liking for the modern internet. Odin purposefully blinded himself in one eye as a price for accessing Knowledge. This myth is not meant to be taken literally, of course. Some deep thought would suggest that Odin forced himself to brutally limit himself to half the information (becoming Odin One-Eye) in order to gain all the knowledge. The lesson in the Odin myth is that great knowledge comes at a price: you have to ruthlessly limit the noise to receive the signal.
Questions when you draw Nuin:
-Think of three casual acquaintances who you have liked instantly. What made them approachable?
-Think of three casual acquaintances who wanted to know you better but who you did not respond to because they were immediately off-putting. Why did they fail?
-How can you limit the noise of what information comes into your head on a daily basis in order to receive more signal — that which helps you rather than harms?
-What would happen if you eliminated half the media in your life? What would this entail?
Ill-dignified excess: Too much information
Too much information equals distraction. Allowing too much news, internet chatter, television, movies, gossip, and random information into your mind is often a recipe for overload and misery. Limit your diet of electronic babble and make sure to temper exposure to our toxic modern culture with time spent with growing things, rivers, forests, and meadows. Instagram, social media, television, advertising, and petty politics cast a form of black magic upon the beholder, hypnotizing us into feelings of inadequacy so we will buy more products. Nuin ill-dignified in excess could also indicate you are watering down your message by giving too much away about yourself. Don’t write a novel or orate a speech when a well-considered paragraph or epithet will do.
Ill-dignified dearth: Failure or unwillingness to communicate
Presuming people know your mind is problematic, but presuming they both know your mind and agree with you is ten times worse. Has anyone ever tried to reach you via any method possible, including spam advertisements, cold calls, or stalking? Don’t be that spammer/caller/stalker guy. This could also indicate you or someone else is not using resources at hand to communicate or is not putting the care into communication that it deserves. Don’t be the boob who can’t be bothered with the formalities of hello, goodbye, please, thank you, unabbreviated words, and spell check. Whether not being able to communicate with others is born out of misanthropy or earnest bumbling, the result is the same: you still send a clear message about your shortcomings. Nuin is suggesting you or someone affecting your life should learn the challenging skill of how to communicate with others.

Seven
The 7 is the seeker, the thinker, the searcher of truth.
The Numerology Meaning of the Number 7: THE PHILOSOPHER
The 7 doesn’t take anything at face value, and always strives to understand the hidden truth. The 7 knows nothing is exactly as it seems and reality is often hidden behind illusion.
A person who has a chart dominated by the 7 is easily picked out in a group.
They will be somewhat introverted, perhaps shy (not to be confused with low self-esteem), and never entirely comfortable in social settings.
The 7 is an intellectual, but their intellect isn’t always obvious, especially at an early age. (As a child, Einstein had dyslexia and wasn’t a particularly bright student.)
The 7’s intelligence appears in the form of a dreamer. They are intellectual explorers of the obscure and tend to have an off-beat perspective of the world around them. Many 7s are interested in the metaphysical, not because they are believers, but because it allows access to the abstract world of questions that have no clear answers.
The number 7 is spiritual but not religious.
The age-old questions surrounding what life is all about- why we are here, who we are, and so forth – are essential to the 7’s life-experience. They don’t stop looking for the answers they seek until they die.
The number 7 can be aloof, hates gossip, and is immune to small-minded backstabbing. Money means little to the 7, and they will rarely make a decision based on an expected financial outcome.
There is a dry, usually misunderstood sense of humor to the 7, yet it is unable to recall jokes easily. A 7 individual is rarely cheerful and never superficial.
7 has excellent taste, along with a natural love and understanding of art.
They dislike or entirely ignore fashion, and popular beautiful-but-shallow people bore a 7 to no end. Rather, 7s are attracted to the eccentric. They are not always interested in politics but have a strong sense of justice.
A 7 doesn’t typically care about professional sports or other team activities. They are not warriors, but you may find some people who have the 7 dominating their charts in the military, most likely as analysts or strategic planners. More often, you will find them in the world of academics and science. Police detectives, laboratory researchers, and other careers where logic and methodical analysis are the main requirements fit 7s well.
On the negative side, the 7 can be cynical, verbally abusive, arrogant, and oblivious to the pain and suffering of others.
The 7 is opinionated and tends to know a bit about everything, which can be annoying to others. They are not always honest, often choosing a more “interesting” truth than the actual truth.
Many people are uncomfortable around 7s due to their penetrating eyes – creating the sense that, even when they seem to be listening, they’re actually analyzing the shape of your face and the crevices of your earlobes.
They can be cold-hearted, cruel, and show a lack of empathy. Other peoples’ problems simply don’t interest them, but when it comes to their troubles, they expect everyone to feel for them. They can be selfish, anti-social, demanding patients, exasperating know-it-alls, and just plain rude.
The essence of the number 7 symbolizes our struggle to know and understand.
What’s unique about the 7 is that their mind is their greatest tool as well as their most significant limitation. Logical, flexible, and hungry for knowledge, the 7’s mind goes places other numbers rarely approach. Their imagination is vast and powerful, which guides them into spiritual stratospheres others will never know. The 7 digs deep, but is always intellectual and rational.
The satisfaction they derive from mental exploration allows a 7 to enjoy many hours in solitude. At the same time, they put too much faith in the power of the mind; this can limit their ability to experience the essence of life, which can be known only through experience, not through thought or words.
The Tao Te Ching mentions, “Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.” Similarly, life in its purest form can only be felt and experienced, never defined. For 7s to reach a height of spiritual wisdom, they must travel beyond their mind’s limitations and allow the inner silence to spill its secrets.

Plantain (Plantago major): Why It’s an Herb and Not a Weed, Uses, Benefits and More
From healthyandnaturalworld.com
Plantain is a common garden herb with healing properties. Although many people refer to plantain as a weed, it’s actually an edible medicinal herb with a number of health benefits. You can use plantain leaf as a poultice for insect bites, a plantain tea to improve digestion or soothe bronchitis, or a healing plantain salve for helping wounds to heal quickly.
Many of the benefits of plantain herb come from its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Plantain leaf is also a good source of antioxidants, vitamin c, beta-carotene, and minerals such as calcium and potassium.
Far from being an unwelcome weed in your yard, plantain herb should be prized for its medicinal uses.
In this article, you will learn about the many health benefits of plantain. You will also learn how to use plantain as a medicinal herb.
Why Plantain Is an Herb and Not a Weed
Plantain is called a weed because it is an invasive plant that can quickly take over a garden. However, plantain should be regarded as an herb due to its many health benefits. Plantain is among the edible weeds that are good for you.
You shouldn’t confuse plantain with a type of cooking banana that has the same name.
Broadleaf plantain (Plantago major) is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows in most areas of the world. Other names for broadleaf plantain include common plantain, greater plantain and wild plantain. The ribwort plantain is related to the Plantago major. It has narrower leaves and sometimes called narrowleaf plantain.
The plantain plant has broad leaves that grow to around 2-4 inches wide. It is mostly the plantain leaf that contains many of its therapeutic benefits. However, plantain seeds are also used medicinally. (1, 2)
People say that plantain leaves taste similar to spinach or asparagus but with a slightly more bitter taste. Young plantain leaves are said to be the tastiest; whereas the broader and older plantain leaves taste bitter and have a fibrous texture.
Nutritional Benefits of Plantain Herb
Broadleaf plantain is an extremely nutritious wild herb that contains a number of bioactive compounds.
The journal Ecology of Food and Nutrition reports that plantain leaf is a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C. Plantain leaves also have calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and manganese. (3)
One of the reasons why plantain is a medicinal herb is that all parts of the plant – the leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds – contain a lot of antioxidants. Flavonoids, polysaccharides, and caffeic acid are just a few of the phytochemicals in plantain. (4)
Researchers say that plantain compounds are good for wound healing, reducing inflammation, managing diabetes, treating diarrhea, and killing germs. (4)
Benefits and Uses of Plantain Herb
Let’s look in more detail at how to use common plantain for its many health benefits.
Plantain Weed Can Boost Your Immunity
Wild plantain is an amazingly useful herb that can help in strengthening your immunity.
Various studies have shown that plantain compounds have immune-strengthening properties to fight infection. For example, plantain leaf extract can help boost the number of white blood cells. (5)
One study in the lab found that hot water extracts of plantain leaves have antiviral properties. (6)
You can take a few young plantain leaves to make a medicinal herb tea. Roughly chop the fresh leaves and put in a cup of boiling water, cover, and allow to steep for 10 minutes. Strain and add a teaspoon of raw honey when the tea has cooled down to increase the antimicrobial properties.
Consume the plantain tea to help fight infection whenever you have a cold or the flu.
Find out about more herbs and supplements to boost your immune system’s health naturally.
Plantain Herb has Antimicrobial Properties
Studies have found that plantain leaf extracts have good antimicrobial action. Tests in the lab have shown that compounds in plantain leaves can help to kill off various bacterial and viral pathogens. (7, 8)

Plantain Herb Benefits Your Gastrointestinal Health Due to its Anti-Inflammatory Properties
One of the most popular uses for taking plantain leaf tea is to treat gastrointestinal disorders.
A 2017 survey found that herbal weeds such as plantain are good for digestion. Herbal digestive remedies can help to soothe intestinal pain and treat other symptoms of gastric upset. (9)
The astringent and cleansing effect of compounds in common plantain also helps resolve symptoms of diarrhea. (10)
Drink a cup of plantain leaf tea every day if you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, or heartburn.
Studies have shown that if you have abdominal pain from a peptic ulcer, then taking plantain tincture could help treat your ulcer. It is best to use leaf extract for gastric ulcers rather than seed extract. (11, 12)

How to Use Plantain Herb for Healing
It is very easy to make your own plantain leaf tea from this medicinal herb. Because common plantain grows wild in many places, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find fresh leaves.
How to make plantain tea
To make your own health-boosting plantain leaf infusion, this is what you should do:
- Wash and roughly chop 1 cup of fresh plantain leaves.
- Put in a heatproof bowl that has a lid.
- Pour over 4 cups of boiling water, cover, and leave until cold.
- Strain the liquid and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
You can drink 1-2 cups of plantain tea daily to benefit from its healing power. You can also use this tea topically to cleanse your skin, help clear up acne breakouts, and promote healthy wound healing.
You can also use the leftover leaves from the plantain tea to apply to pimples, wounds, insect bites, and sunburn to help your skin heal without scarring.
How to make a plantain poultice
A poultice made from crushed plantain leaves can help to soothe pain and reduce inflammation caused by bites, allergic skin reactions, or irritated skin.
To make a healing plantain poultice, this is what you should do:
- Pick and wash a few fresh plantain leaves.
- Crush them between your palms or chop the leaves to create a mash.
- Place the plantain poultice on the inflamed bite, pustule, or cut and loosely cover with a bandage.
- The enzymes in the plantain leaves should help to soothe pain, reduce inflammation, and start the healing process.
- Reapply the healing poultice when the remedy has dried out.
Precautions When Using Plantain Leaf
It is generally safe to use plantain leaf tea or a plantain leaf poultice for medicinal purposes.
Doctors from WebMD advise that people with a pollen or melon allergy should avoid using remedies made from plantain. Also, plantain tea, tinctures, or tonics may not be safe to take if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. (29)
When picking wild plantain leaves, always ensure that no chemicals or pesticides have been used on them. Always thoroughly wash the leaves before using them to make tea or a poultice.

Full Moon Rituals & Spells: 8 Easy Ways to Harness the Magic & Use it to Your Benefit
The full moon is always an incredibly potent time for magic, divination and spiritual practices of all kinds. Take advantage of Luna’s culminating energy by performing any of these easy full moon spells and rituals. You don’t need expensive tools or accessories in order to make your ritual a powerful one. In fact, it’s often the simplest rituals that invite the most love and abundance into your life.
Every month, we are influenced by all eight phases of the moon. While new moons are a time to set anintention and embrace a new beginning, full moons mark a time of endings, release and renewal. Taking place around every 28–30 days, a full moon always arrives in the sign sitting opposite from the sun sign (ex: during Pisces season we have a Virgo full moon). When a full moon arrives, we can expect to feel the sensation of spiritual “shedding” or rather, the clearing-out process that allows you to release old friends, thought patterns, habits, responsibilities, clutter and more. Because full moons are the most illuminated phase of the moon, its celestial glow literally “sheds light” on whatever (or whoever) is no longer aligned with your future, giving you the opportunity to see things more clearly.
Because full moons represent a time of endings, your rituals are best suited to amplify this energy and encourage a sense of surrender, release and letting go with grace. It can sometimes be uncomfortable to sit with the pause that happens on a full moon; as humans we naturally want to fill empty spaces, so it’s best that you use a full moon to get comfortable in the void space by reflecting on all that you have accomplished and moved through over the last lunar cycle. Harness the magic that full moons bring by engaging in the following full moon rituals:

Under the full moon, you’ll want to first prepare by cleansing the mind. It’s also believed that epsom salt soaks in the tub can clear your energy field or aura, so this is a great ritual to add into your day. While you are soaking in the tub, put on binaural beats, frequency sounds, a guided meditation or any audio that helps you to relax. You can also add to your experience by lighting candles or incense and adding some of your favorite essential oils or dried flower petals into the tub!
Clean & organize your home
Full moons ask us to cleanse our internal and external environments of any clutter. When cleaning your home, try to remember certain energy centers like clearing out the space around your front door to allow abundance to travel more effortlessly into your home or deep cleaning the oven to amplify prosperity for the lunar cycle ahead. Washing the bathroom, the floors and windows, cleaning out your closets and junk drawers, reorganizing and everything in between are great ways to use the full moon energy. If you have an altar, this is a beautiful time to clean it up and adorn it with fresh offerings for your spirit guides, deities and/or ancestors.
Perform a releasing ceremony
Under the full moon, spend time alone with your journal to write down all that you are ready to release. Once this list is complete, fold it several times and then find a fire-safe bowl (glass, iron and ceramic) to place your list in. Safely light the edge of your list on fire and watch as all of the things that have been weighing you down start to burn away. After the list has turned to ash, you can bury these ashes outside or flush them down the toilet and (again) say “I release what no longer serves me with love” and allow yourself to leave it behind you.
Place your crystals in the moonlight
Putting out some of your favorite crystals or objects of importance on a window sill or balcony is a great way to savor the full moon’s shedding energy. However, you will want to make sure that the full moon is not happening during eclipse season. In my professional opinion, eclipse energy is much too chaotic and powerful to keep around! Additionally, you can leave a glass jar or spray bottle full of water in the moonlight as well to have moon water that you can use throughout the lunar cycle ahead any time you need an extra dose of shedding, clearing or releasing.

Cleanse your home & bring in new energy
Cleansing your energy space and living space with sacred smoke is a great way to celebrate the full moon. Using sustainably harvested sage or palo santo is a great way to do this, but you can also use herbs like cedar, mugwort, lavender, sweetgrass, and more. You can also use resins and incenses. While cleansing, make sure you start from the back of your home or room and then go to each corner of your space with an energy that you would like to bring into your newly cleansed home. Calling forth the energy of love, abundance, health, prosperity, joy, peace or anything else that feels aligned for you is best.
Tie up loose ends & relax
Because full moons are a time of endings, make sure that anything on your to-do list gets done and closed out today. This may look like sending emails, submitting projects, running errands or even making phone calls you’ve been meaning to. Full moons are not a time to start new projects or make reactionary decisions so try to let yourself rest if you have nothing on your agenda for the day.
Sing, dance & play
After your mind, body and home space have all been cleared, it’s time to bring joy forward! Putting on your favorite music and dancing it all out is another great way to shake off old, stagnant energy and feel liberated in the here and now. Make this present moment one worth living by allowing yourself to sing, dance and play during a full moon day!
Remember, full moons are beautiful reminders of how cyclical life is. When we align with the natural rhythms of life, we allow ourselves to feel the eternal “oneness”, ground ourselves in the present moment and truly enjoy life’s magic! Happy full moon, celestial babe!

Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) occurs in Scorpio at 1:34 PM EDT today (10:34 AM PDT).
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Do your best to avoid arguments about money, possessions and financial matters, including inheritances or how something is shared. People will get angry today in a split second. It’s potentially explosive day. Don’t go looking for trouble because it’s already looking for you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today the Lunar Eclipse is occurring opposite your sign, with the Sun, retrograde Mercury and Uranus. This is an explosive, sensitive combination! The best way to handle this is to check yourself. Take a breath before you respond to others. Don’t take the bait.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today something going on behind the scenes might get your goat. Basically, what you’re dealing with is an unusual buildup of Full Moon energy that makes people restless, ready to fight, and emotionally angry. Do nothing. Steer clear of difficult situations, especially secrets or something going on behind the scenes.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Avoid difficulties with friends or members of groups today by postponing contentious discussions for another day. Today there is a Lunar Eclipse that will definitely trigger explosive feelings with others. Therefore, do not choose today to set things straight. Be smart.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a poor day to challenge authority figures – parents, bosses, VIPs and the police. Likewise, you might find it challenging dealing with family members, especially females. For your own best interests and peace of mind, avoid challenging others. Stay cool.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Be careful because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. No question. Travel plans might suddenly change or be cancelled or delayed. Avoid controversial subjects because they will lead to nasty arguments. Keep your mind on what you’re doing. Pay attention.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Disputes about shared property or who is responsible for what might erupt into a nasty showdown today. It’s Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Be smart and rein in your impulsive feelings because personality clashes today will not be resolved. Stay chill. If you play your cards right, you won’t have later regrets.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a tough day relating to others, especially partners and close friends. People will be quick to argue, and you might reach an impasse and create a situation that is difficult to resolve later. Be smart and avoid this. There is no winning today. (Don’t come on too strong, which you can do.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Work-related arguments might be nasty today. Don’t get involved because you might be in a situation where later, no one wants to forgive or forget. Meanwhile, today’s Full Moon energy is accident-prone, especially at work – or perhaps with your pet.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Parents should be extra vigilant about their kids today to avoid accidents. Remove toddlers from potentially hazardous situations. Be patient with your kids. Likewise, this stressful day could create breakups in romantic relationships. Today patience is your best friend.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today’s Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio taking place at the top of your chart. This creates tension and emotional challenges between your dealings with family and home versus your dealings with your career and your public reputation. Take a step back. Don’t get involved.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is an accident-prone day for your sign so pay attention to everything you say and do. The Full Moon today is actually a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio at odds with the Sun, Mercury and Uranus, which is an explosive situation. Anything might suddenly occur – out of the blue! Keep your eyes open.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Author, social activist Naomi Klein (1970) shares your birthday today. You are an excellent communicator and a great conversationalist.

May 5, 2023 Birthday Horoscope
May the next year of your life be more positive than the past year!
To read anyone’s birthday horoscope from sunsigns.org
IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS APRIL 5, you are mixed with a fire and a free spirit. Your imagination is sharply innovative with a charm that is typical of the other Rams. Those of you born this day can be bold and persuasive.
The zodiac sign for April 5 birthday is Aries. You are unbiased and are capable of discussing controversial topics, which means people like talking to or debating the issues with yours truly, the Arian.
You care about your reputation so you carry yourself in a confident but cool, calm and collected manner. Having said all of this, Arians worry about what some folks think about them. Do not worry about them… people are never satisfied.
According to the April 5th birthday horoscope profile, friendships with an Arian can be a bittersweet occurrence. You work hard. It is a quality your friends admire. However, it cuts into the time they could have with you. You are likely to make friends effortlessly and quickly.
What most do not know about you is that you are impatient and are easily agitated. Your temperament usually shows up when people disagree with you. Come on, Aries. Get real. People are entitled to their own opinion. It is what makes us different. You certainly are. Perhaps you are happiest when you are in control of others.
For the person that falls in love with an April 5 Aries birthday, be ready for a romantic fairy tale! The Arian born on April 5 is impulsively loving and sentimental. This partner is appreciative of your needs, wants and desires.
The ideal relationship with an Aries is one that is open to expression and views intimacy as a commitment to loyalty and trust. Security is a must for someone like you. You are inclined to make your lover feel special by making his or her needs first in the relationship.
The 5 April birthday personality traits show that you have an overflow of energy and absorption levels. Most Arians will use this trait in the decision-making process of locating a career. A suitable profession tends to be more of a factor for decision rather than salary.
Aries born, you need a challenge. In fact, you need to experience a certain level of job stress before you will feel truly appreciated. Having put out fires during the day and having met deadlines gives you a since of pride.
A couple of flaws typically associated with you, Aries, are that you do not finish what you start and you are likely to splurge. You are spontaneous so you could be guilty of impulse spending, predicts the April 5 birthday astrology analysis.
Be slow to buy, Aries, to ensure this is a necessary purchase. If not, then put it back. If you still want it the next time, then buy it. Although you like to spend it, the Arian born on this day is proficient when it comes to handling the purse or wallet. You rarely suffer with money worries.
If today April 5 is your zodiac birthday, you love to look good. You will find them shopping at the out of the way places for something different. Aries born, you like to be fit on the inside as well so you eat right.
You should be encouraged to drink more water, however. Dehydration can have many side effects so drinking the required amount of fluids can even eliminate those headaches you may be suffering. Although you do not drink a lot of water, you have an overall great health report.
The April 5th birthday meanings show you can be a loving Aries but you can be controlling at the same time. Arians born on this day, love to as good as they feel.
Although you have an odd sense of style, people look up to you. You sometimes worry too much. Relax. You cannot please everyone all the time. Besides, you are Aries the Ram!

How to watch the Flower Moon lunar eclipse on May 5 in a free livestream
A lunar eclipse will be joining the full Flower Moon of May 2023.
On Friday (May 5) at 11:15 a.m. EDT (1515 GMT), a lunar eclipse will begin as the moon enters the outer edge of Earth’s shadow. This particular type of lunar eclipse is known as penumbral, meaning skywatchers will be able to see the face of the moon darken without completely disappearing. The event will reach its peak at 1:24 p.m. EDT (1724 GMT), some two hours after beginning, and end at 3:32 p.m. EDT (1932 GMT) as the Earth’s shadow leaves the moon once again.
Unfortunately for those of us in the Western Hemisphere, this event will only be visible from Australia, Antarctica, Eastern Africa, Oceania and Asia. Luckily, the Virtual Telescope Project will host a free livestream of the lunar eclipse of the full Flower Moon beginning at 2:45 p.m. EDT (1845 GMT) on Friday (May 5). The livestream will be available on the project’s website or YouTube channel.

Dreamer and Lady Beltane Update
Dreamer went for her blood tests yesterday afternoon. We are anxiously waiting for the results to come back sometime today. As soon as we know the results you will too. Because of donations not only we were able to get the blood tests we were able to get her 30 days worth of the medication that is helping to improve her quality of life. She is walking, getting up and down of of the bed and couch easier, playing a little bit again, and is once again enjoying going for a small walk twice a day! Thank you to everyone who made this possible!
Today I officially go back to my maiden name! I am keeping it after Big Dawg and I get married. The reason is I am an only child and wish to honor my father’s blood line. If I could I would add my mother’s maiden name to my father’s last name to honor the woman who raised me by myself from the age of 12-years-old and helped me raise my 5 children. If not for my mom my 3 younger children might have wound up in the foster care system because of my drinking and drugging in my 30’s and 40’s. I owe more to her than I can ever express and miss her still every single day. I miss my dad too but he crossed over when I was so young that unfortunately I can no longer see his face except in dreams and pictures. Thankfully I am a spirit talker so I can still hear my parents voices.
