I woke up with a migraine I can’t shake thanks to a night of nightmares causing really bad sleep thanks to my PTSD. Big Dawg and I were coming home yesterday from serving paperwork and were almost hit head on by a women in a SUV larger than our Compass which trigger my PTSD. My PTSD stems from a few auto accidents in my life including the one that took my dad’s life in 1970. I’ll be back tomorrow to do Monday’s and Tuesday’s posts.
Day: April 28, 2024
A Laugh for Today
I hope the rest of your day and evening is relaxing, filled with fun and love. Blessed be.

All Signs
Tra la, tra la, Monday is filled with vibes that are romantic, creative and artistic – the stuff of poetry! But on Tuesday, Mars zooms into its own sign Aries, galvanizing everyone into action. “Hut! two, three, four!” Actually, Tuesday and Friday are excellent days to get things done. They’re also wonderful days to make a great impression on someone. However, tread carefully on Wednesday, because people will be touchy or a bit grouchy. (A small price to pay for a week that’s positive and promising.) Of course, Oscar Wilde said, “It is absurd to divide people into good or bad. They are either charming or tedious.” But I like Betty White’s take the best: “Get at least eight hours of beauty sleep. Nine if you’re ugly”
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Once every two years, your ruler Mars is in your sign. When this occurs, it means there’s lots of activity taking place in your life; plus, you’re working really hard! You’re pumped with energy, proactive and coming on strong. You will be much more of a fighter for your own rights than usual. You might even fight for the rights of others because this lovely blessing gives you an amazing boost to your physical energy. Meanwhile, money, cash flow and earnings are on your mind. (Join the club. We number millions.) Fortunately, you can attract money to you now. In addition to which you will be spending money on beautiful things. Ka-ching!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a powerful time for you because the Sun is in your sign (happens only once a year). Plus, you also have fair Venus, lucky Jupiter and Uranus in your sign as well. (The gang’s all here!) Without question, this is an excellent time to buy wardrobe goodies for yourself because you’ll like what you see in the mirror. Meanwhile, you’re confident, charming and diplomatic with everyone. Good fortune is coming your way because lucky Jupiter is in your sign for one more month. (Jupiter visits your sign only once every 12 years.) Yes, life is good! A word of caution: In the next two months, be aware of the possibility of hidden enemies. If you think someone out there does not have your best interests at heart – pay attention! You’re probably right. (Gulp.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This continues to be your time of harvest, which means you see clearly what is working in your life and what is not. (Important to know.) After all, your first loss is your cheapest loss. However, don’t focus on failure, instead put your energy into what IS working. Competition with groups or teams and physical athletics is on the menu for many. You might also hang out with younger people. Meanwhile, your birthday is a month away, which means your personal year is ending. This also means the next few weeks are the perfect time to think about what you want for your new year ahead. Ideas? Remember: Goals keep you on track and make future decision-making easier!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Enjoy your popularity! (And if you’re not, get dressed and go out because people want to see you. They want to hear from you. They want to see your face.) In turn, you’ll love to catch up on what’s happening. You might be more involved with creative, artistic people at this time. Some of you will turn a platonic friendship into something romantic. You’re ambitious, and going after what you want! Nevertheless, make time in your schedule to be friendly with others. For example, contact friends and make an effort to interact with groups and organizations. This is the perfect week to think about your hopes and dreams for the future and make some goals. (“I want a pony and I want to be a ballerina.”)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
“All hail Leo!” You’re in the limelight, and you look mahvelous dahling! This is because the Sun is at the top of your chart, symbolically casting you in a flattering spotlight. (It’s smoke and mirrors.) You look attractive, capable and oh so competent, even if you don’t do anything different. This is why someone will ask you to take on increased responsibilities. (You can demure modestly – or not.) Venus is also at the top of your chart boosting this attractive quality, creating favourable circumstances for your professional life. Venus also encourages romance with people in authority. Meanwhile, a desire to travel and spread your wings will grow within you in the next two months. Get outta Dodge if you can.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your desire to spread your wings and travel or learn more through study, schooling or courses is very strong. You value knowledge. And you love trivia. (Your mind abounds with useful and useless facts.) But lately, you hunger to have a better understanding of politics and philosophical issues. If you can polish this understanding through travel – this would be ideal. Incidentally, romance with someone from another culture or a different country will blossom for many of you. Meanwhile, in the next month or so, disputes about shared property, taxes, debt or insurance issues might arise. This could be a sticky wicket.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are private about money. Even your left hand doesn’t know what your right hand is doing. Meanwhile, you’re thinking about taxes, debt and insurance issues. Plus, inheritances and the wealth and resources of your partner or someone else. Dealings with the government might also be on the table. Fortunately, the gods are smiling and things will likely be settled in your favour. You’ll benefit because decisions will go your way. Expect favours and money. However, relations with close friends and partners might be tense in the next six weeks because Mars, opposite your sign, makes it easy to feel annoyed with others. (Of course, they are annoying.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Remember that you need more sleep now because the Sun is opposite your sign, which means it is as far away from you as it can get all year (in your chart). The Sun, of course, represents energy. (This might mean taking some naps and getting more sleep.) Fortunately, you might have more objectivity when dealing with friends and partners, which will be helpful to you. Furthermore, with Venus opposite your sign, all your relationships are more affectionate and easier. (How cozy!) You don’t have to worry about alienating anyone. As Mars enters a new sign this week, it will boost your energy to work hard and increase your productivity, which will make you look good!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You are someone who believes “Work hard, party hard!” is a pretty good motto. This week is no exception. This is because you’re keen to work hard and give everything your best shot. You’re focused, determined and energetic. Furthermore, coworkers are supportive, so it will be easy for you to accomplish a lot. In fact, many of you will either improve your existing job or get a better job. Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, fiery Mars has moved into the part of your chart that makes you want to enjoy sports, social outings, vacations, fun times, the arts, the entertainment world as well as rewarding activities with children. Lucky you! You can have it all!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a wonderful, playful time! It’s perfect for a vacation. If you can’t slip away on a vacation, grab every chance to party and socialize! Accept invitations to fun outings — power breakfasts, long luncheons, dinner parties, matinee’s, sports events and coffee with friends. Whatever entertaining diversion comes your way – grab it! Time spent with children will also be rewarding. Meanwhile, romance might blossom, so look your best. Nevertheless, increased chaos and activity on the home front will require your attention. Home repairs, renovations or even residential moves might make demands on your time. This also requires you to be patient with family. It was ever thus.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Home and family are highlighted. Many of you are hunkered down and hiding under the covers. Others are entertaining! This focus on home and family might attract opportunities to improve where you live or to find better digs. This blessing will even extend to making money through real estate. (It’s all tied up together.) Invite family over for good food and drink because everyone will enjoy their visit. Meanwhile, you will love to learn new things. Short trips and chances to study and absorb new data by meeting new people will fascinate you. Be careful in communications with others because you might be coming on like gangbusters. Lighten up.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
It’s a fast-paced week. Short trips, errands, appointments plus increased time spent with family members as well as demands on your time related to writing, studying and reading will all combine to give you a busy schedule. (Gasp!) But you’re up for it. In fact, it’s easy for you to be optimistic at this time. In particular, you have a sense of appreciation of who you are and what you have. You even appreciate your daily environment when you look around you. However, you’re also working hard to earn money; in part, because you have some excellent moneymaking ideas. Admittedly, you’re spending money as well because it’s what’s happening. (Mars has just entered your Money House.) Don’t go overboard.

King of Wands – Minor Arcana Court Card
The King of Wands is pure fire energy, but strangely enough, he has the least to do with actual creation and creativity. His forte is not in dreaming up ideas and implementing them himself, but in taking an idea and changing the world to match his vision. As such he is a natural leader and commander of all kinds of people. They flock to him to hear what he has to say and leave just as eagerly when he gives them something to do for him. Like the rest of the Kings, the ruler of the Wands suit will appear in two ways in your life: either as a person or as a part of yourself that must be awakened.
As a person, the King of Wands is the ultimate leader, who looks forward to challenges because he enjoys the rush of adrenalin that solving a difficult problem can induce. He not only dispels his own fear but that of others, by ensuring them that they shall succeed. He is not all talk, though; when the going gets tough no one hangs in there longer than he does. The King of Wands has a deep and innate respect for other people, and his compassion extends farther than most people would expect. For a King, he has a remarkably good relationship with the common people. When he is unable to assist by himself, he will empower and enable others to help in his place.
As with all of us, the King’s faults emerge from his strengths. Most of the time he does not show enough restraint to know when assistance is not needed or wanted. He can sometimes make things even worse by doing what he thinks is the right thing – and he always thinks that what he is doing is the right thing. Most of the time his high sense of ethics proves him right, but in those few times where he is on the wrong side of the argument, he can do more harm than good. But one thing that can never be said of him is that he walks away from problems, whatever they are. He will defend another man just as vigilantly, if not more so, than he would protect himself.
An inner spiritual change is often heralded when this card appears. The King of Wands invites us to act as he would to solve our problems. His vision is one of ideal reality, and his vision is that humanity might always be better than it is. He is the warrior of light who stands up for something that matters, and his appearance is an invitation for you to do so as well. If there is a cause you wish to support, but you are unsure of your position, you may proceed with the knowledge that your base of power is strong. Enjoy the King’s power and authority, but be sure to use it for productive means. Take your responsibilities seriously, think of new ways to do things, and never stop believing in yourself.

URUZ
MANHOOD
The rune is an indication of the new phase beginning in a person’s life and the termination of the old one. The rune symbolizes the future changes that are yet to happen in the night. It speaks of ending one part of life and how a man goes out of his childhood frame. This means it must be left behind to attain manhood.

Sun
Always a good omen, the Sun Rune means something of value is coming your way. You can look forward to taking a bold step, embarking in a new direction.
Some may be carried out of their daily grind by unexpected and fortunate events. Other will be made aware of added responsibility and will have to deal with it.
Expect public promotions and public affairs. Look to be amazed, dazzled or even shocked by scandals. An older person, or person of authority could have the answers you are now seeking.
Accept your position as a mover and shaker of the world. For you, the time is right to head for the spotlight.

Huathe-Hawthorn
The Celts often believed the hawthorn to be a portal to the Otherworld. The hawthorn is a hardy plant commonly used for hedges and great firewood. It can even be an invasive species at times. The key points to remember with the letter Huathe are obstacles, walls, and obstructions. Its ability to form a natural wall gives the diviner an idea in what this symbol can mean to them and their lives.
Fortune – To overcome obstacles and walls you must make a personal sacrifice, to gain we must lose something of ourselves!

Name: P’i.
Keyphrase: Stagnation.
Formed By The Trigrams: Heaven over Earth.
General: Although this is a time of adversity you should remember that all things change and there is always hope.
Love: A lover or potential lover may not be what they seem. Beware of falling in love.
Business: New business ventures may be too good to be true. Examine them carefully.
Personal: Strengthen your moral and ethical senses. Don’t be led astray.

Beware of individuals trying to subvert your sense of ethics or the consequences will be far-reaching for you.

A Witch’s Chant
Thou art weary, weary, weary,
Thou art weary and far away,
Hear me, gentle spirit, hear me,
Come before the dawn of day.
I hear a small voice from the hill,
The vapour is deadly, pale, and still—
A murmuring sough is on the wood,
And the witching star is red as blood.
And in the cleft of heaven I scan
The giant form of a naked man,
His eye is like the burning brand,
And he holds a sword in his right hand.
All is not well. By dint of spell,
Somewhere between the heaven and hell
There is this night a wild deray,
The spirits have wander’d from their way.
The purple drops shall tinge the moon
As she wanders through the midnight noon;
And the dawning heaven shall all be red
With blood by guilty angels shed.
Be as it will, I have the skill
To work by good or work by ill;
Then here’s for pain, and here’s for thrall,
And here’s for conscience, worst of all.
Another chant, and then, and then,
Spirits shall come or Christian men—
Come from the earth, the air, or the sea,
Great Gil-Moules, I cry to thee!
Sleep’st thou, wakest thou, lord of the wind,
Mount thy steeds and gallop them blind;
And the long-tailed fiery dragon outfly
The rocket of heaven, the bomb of the sky.
Over the dog-star, over the wain,
Over the cloud, and the rainbow’s mane,
Over the mountain, and over the sea,
Haste—haste—haste to me!
Then here’s for trouble, and here’s for smart,
And here’s for the pang that seeks the heart;
Here’s for madness, and here’s for thrall,
And here’s for conscience, the worst of all!
