All Signs

This week promises social opportunities and exciting romance! Monday is an ideal day to break free from routine and explore new vistas. (At least a new coffee shop.) Monday night is a great date night! Tuesday continues to be friendly and sociable; but Wednesday is crunchy. Oops. Wednesday is tough. Fortunately, Friday sets the tone for a fabulous weekend for romance, socializing, exploring the arts and having fun! Love at first sight can happen on Saturday when Venus is lined up with unpredictable Uranus. And in some cases, this will lead to marriage where two people take turns mashing the trash down in the hopes the other one will cave first and empty the bin.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Although this is a fun-loving, sociable week, your primary focus will be on money, cash flow and earnings. Ka-ching! You’ll have moneymaking ideas, and because your ruler fiery Mars is in your sign, this means you won’t be afraid to act on them. Oh yeah! In fact, you have boundless energy this week! By the end of the week, you might receive a windfall or a gift, or you might literally find money. Or you might score something amazing when shopping, perhaps a surprising antique? Expect ways to sweeten your assets and fatten your coffers in a sudden way at the end of the week because this is entirely likely! Keep your eyes open because you might have to look. Be alert.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a lovely, friendly week for you. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus are all in your sign, boosting your energy and enthusiasm, which will make you a powerful communicator. Many will be attracted to your optimistic energy. (Enthusiasm is contagious.) This is an excellent week to buy wardrobe goodies. And because something unexpected and fortunate will happen at the end of the week, you might want to shop on Saturday to take advantage of this lucky influence of sudden good fortune. Saturday is also a great day to look for a job or negotiate because unexpected opportunities will bless you. The weekend will be a productive time for you. (Meanwhile, do be aware of the possibility that someone around you does not have your best interests at heart. Keep your eyes open. Trust your hunches.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Although social opportunities abound this week, many of you will choose to play things low-key and enjoy your privacy because this is what you really want to do right now. Basically, this is because your personal year is coming to an end, and before your birthday arrives, you need some time to let the dust settle and think about what you want for your personal new year ahead. Nevertheless, competition with sports or groups or classes might take place for some of you. One thing is certain: with Mars in your 11th House, (something that can occur only once every two years for about six weeks) this is the perfect time to formulate goals for the future! Ideas?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Get ready to socialize this week because it will be a popular time for you! Many of you will be active with younger people more than usual, as well as creative and artistic people. You’re also ambitious at this time about achieving your goals, which is why you might attract help from others. This weekend, especially Saturday, something unusual or unexpected will occur that changes things for you. You might meet someone unusual. You might spontaneously join a club or an organization. You might fall in love with someone. In fact, this person might be a friend or a casual acquaintance and suddenly voila! Things are turning romantic! Who knew?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re looking swell this week, dear Leo because four planets are at the top of your chart. Not only will people notice you, they will listen to you. Because of this celestial advantage, this is an excellent time to go after what you want. Push the limits. Demand the advantage. Talk to bosses and authority figures. Make your pitch. (You get the idea.) Meanwhile, grab any chance to get outta Dodge because you need a change of scenery. Oh yes, you want some adventure in your life! You should know that these qualities combined will give you the ability to influence others. In part, this is because you identify with your beliefs now and will defend them with passion!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Life is thrilling for most of you at this time because you’re motivated to do something different. You’re eager to learn, which means many of you are studying or reading or meeting people from different backgrounds so that you can expand your knowledge of the world. Likewise, you’re motivated to travel because you want a change of scenery. You want adventure! You want the thrill of discovery! Because of this strong desire and motivation – you will make these things happen. If you can’t travel far, you can be a tourist in your own neighbourhood. All kinds of exciting, fresh things will be revealed to you. Perhaps even new love because Saturday is a time that is ripe for love at first sight!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re a social sign and this is a sociable week! Nevertheless, you’re dealing with taxes, debt, shared property, inheritances and insurance issues. (These are loose ends you have to work out.) Fortunately, the gods are with you! Gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. And they will surprise you. Therefore, keep your pockets open and hope for the best. Meanwhile, be patient with partners and close friends because fiery Mars is opposite your sign, which makes you irritated with others. Hint: Visualize these feelings of irritation floating up into a little cloud above your head that drifts away and dissolves.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week there are many possibilities for you in terms of close friendships, relationships and partnerships. To begin with, your focus is strong in these areas, and the presence of Venus and Jupiter will ensure smooth relations with others. Everything is hunky-dory. However, this same astrological influence might suddenly provoke new love, unexpected flirtations and sudden introductions that turn into something exciting! With this in mind, look your best when you go out. And if love at first sight doesn’t happen, walk by a second time. Even though you have this strong focus for socializing with others and meeting potential new love, you’re also working hard this week. (You deserve dessert.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

More than any other sign, the phrase “work hard/party hard” applies to you because you love the outdoors, you love animals, you love physical activities and you love to party. And when it comes to work – you’re no slouch. This week typifies your impulses in these areas. You have a strong work ethic to be productive and accomplish as much as possible in an efficient, effective way. And you will do this with unexpected praise, bonuses and perks. Surprise job opportunities might fall in your lap. Meanwhile, fiery Mars is in a playful part of your chart urging you to do exactly what you want. Romance will be passionate and competitive sports will appeal. Awright!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Throughout the year, different parts of your chart are highlighted as the planets move through them. This week there is a handful of planets in the most fun-loving, playful part of your chart. Therefore, accept invitations to socialize and party. Don’t hesitate to express yourself, especially creatively. Enjoy sports events and fun activities with kids. And do be aware that for all signs, romance is percolating in the background; however, for you, it’s upfront centre stage! In fact, on Saturday, love at first sight, unexpected flirtations, surprise invitations and other exciting diversions will happen. (However, be careful about sports accidents.) Enjoy!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Home, family and your private life continue to be your primary focus at this time. Fortunately, this is also the same area that will give you pleasure and surprising rewards this week. Bonus! Family discussions and home repairs are likely. You might be involved with a parent more than usual. Redecorating projects will excite you making this is a fabulous week to entertain at home! Meanwhile, by the weekend, especially on Saturday, something unusual and surprising might occur. Stock the fridge because it could be a spontaneous get-together or a surprise party. You might make an unusual purchase that pleases you – something artistic or high tech. Real-estate opportunities might also drop in your lap. Stay tuned!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your busy, fast pace continues this week. However, now life is more upbeat and fun-loving because Mercury will join the Sun, Venus and Jupiter, as well as Uranus in the part of your chart associated with everyday activities, schmoozing with relatives, siblings and neighbours plus, finding opportunities to learn, travel and meet new people and hear new ideas. In a nutshell – this is an exciting week! And by the weekend, something unexpected will surprise you. You might meet someone new and unusual. Sudden romance, especially with someone you already know, might catch you off guard. Meanwhile, you’re working hard to earn money because it’s going out as fast as it comes in. This is a great week to sign up for a course or explore learning opportunities.

Spell For Monday – To Be Free of Something Negative

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

To Be Free of Something Negative

Draw an outline of yourself in the soil. Next, over it draw a symbol representing that which you wish to be free of.

Draw this symbol over the image. Gaze at it, see the symbol as part of yourself, as you are now.

Then, with careful strokes, completely erase the symbol with your fingertips. Make sure you don’t damage your original outline, however, if this happens, redraw immediately. Now gaze at the new you, free of the negative aspect and ready to start again with a cleaner slate.

Repeat every day for seven days.

Tarot Card

Eight of Wands – Minor Arcana

The Eight of Wands describes eight sticks soaring in the air with dizzying speed. This image shows changes, moves and travels. On the card, the background is very clear, showing that there are very few obstructions in your way and there is a beautiful and peaceful river that brings life to all things which are nearby.

In the movie Ten Commandments, Moses touched his stick into the water to spread the waves. His stick is a symbol of power to initiate events. The stick of Moses evokes the image of those sticks in the Eight of Wands Tarot card. They are the symbol of the beginning of action and the effects as well as consequences of such actions. Before we act, we think, imagine, study, exchange, and delude. This is the place of the element Air which is the sky. We give practical and possible ideas, then turn them into action.

This card also has a different meaning which is the appearance of news or new information. You can see or hear something important. The news may appear as a metaphor, so stay awake and pay attention to everything that happens to you at this time.

This card also implies an end. Sooner or later everything ends. Those eight sticks in this card not only focus on starting the events, but also bringing these events to an end. It seems the sticks in this card are about to fall to the ground. If you see this card in a Tarot spread, this may be the time to stop whatever you are doing. You can celebrate the events that happened, but also prepare to receive new things.

KODA

Grove, convergence, ecosystem, review, crossroads, harmony

Tree: Collection of various trees

Letter: Ch

Koad represents a point on the map of your life and cause to reflect on what got you there as well as where you are headed. Many factors conspired to bring you where you are today. An entire ecosystem exists in and around you that is as unique as a fingerprint. This ecosystem is neither entirely good nor entirely bad, which is why this Ogham and the rest of the Forfedha (Oir, Uilleand, Phagos, and Mor) are too complex to be read as well or ill-dignified. Koad is one particular harmony/dissonance at this point in your life. If your life is going well in some respects, this could mean a feeling of competence and capability or a feeling of love and being loved. If you are in a time of stress, Koad may represent the s**tstorm whirling around you. Or all of the above could be going on at once.
You are here to learn a certain set of unique lessons in this lifetime. There are many roads you can take any given day, and like one of those old Choose Your Own Adventure books, each road has its own outcome. Sometimes two seemingly different roads have the same outcome. Koad indicates a feeling of responsibility and ownership of your decisions, however, other factors you cannot control should be taken into account as well, such as family history, social norms, laws, and the era in which you dwell.

Many people do not realize that orchestral symphonies are major works that are frequently an hour in length. A symphony is an elaborate ABA form (think Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on steroids) with mini-breaks between three sections. If your life is a symphony, imagine Koad as one moment in one measure of a huge programmatic work of music. What harmony have you achieved? Are you in a slow or fast movement?

Hexagram Thirty – Five 35

Chin / Aspiration

The Sun shines down upon the Earth:
Constantly honing and refining his brilliance, the Superior Person is a Godsend to his people.
They repay his benevolence with a herd of horses, and he is granted audience three times in a single day.

Promotion.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is a time of reward for good works.
Those you have helped want to show their gratitude.
Benefits come both from on high and from the humble you uplifted.
Accept all gifts graciously, though the reward may not be what you truly need or hoped for.
Some may bestow more than they can afford to give, but you must realize that they need to feel that they have repaid you.
