A Little Humor For Your Day – What is your Southern Sign?

What is your Southern Sign?

 

Some of us Southerners are pretty skeptical of horoscopes and the people that read them. If we are to ever fully understand all the star signs and the people they represent, we need symbols that all true Southerners understand: See the list below…

OKRA (Dec 22 – Jan 20) Are tough on the outside but tender on the inside. Okras have tremendous influence. An older Okra can look back over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. You can do something good each day if you try.

CHITLIN (Jan 21 – Feb 19) Chitlins come from humble backgrounds. A Chitlin, however, will make something of himself if he is motivated and has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful they may surprise you. They can erupt like Vesuvius. Chitlins are best with Catfish and Okra.

BOLL WEEVIL (Feb 20 – March 20) You have an overwhelming curiosity. You’re unsatisfied with the surface of things, and you feel the need to bore deep into the interior of everything. Needless to say, you are very intense and driven as if you had some inner hunger. You love to stay busy and tend to work too much. Nobody in their right mind is going to marry you, so don’t worry about it.

MOON PIE (March 21 – April 20) You’re the type that spends a lot of time on the front porch. A cinch to recognize the physical appearance of Moon Pies. Big and round are the key words here. You should marry anybody who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It’s not going to be easy. You always have a big smile and are happy. This might be the year to think about aerobics. Maybe not.

POSSUM (April 21 – May 21) When confronted with life’s difficulties, possums have a marked tendency to withdraw and develop a don’t-bother-me-about-it attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn, people actually think you’re dead. This strategy is probably not psychologically healthy but seems to work for you. You are a rare breed. Most folks love to watch you work and play. You are a night person and mind your own business.

CRAWFISH (May 22 – June 21) Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in an office, you’re hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer the beach to the mountains, the pool to the golf course, and the bathtub to the living room. You tend not to be particularly attractive physically, but you have very, very good heads.

COLLARDS (June 22 – July 23) Collards have a genius for communication. They love to get in the melting pot of life and share their essence with the essence of those around them. Collards make good social workers, psychologists, and baseball managers. As far as your personal life goes, if you are Collards, stay away from Crawfish. It just won’t work. Save yourself a lot of heartache.

CATFISH (July 24 – Aug 23) Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the heart, although one’s whiskers may cause problems for loved ones. You Catfish are never easy people to understand. You run fast. You work and play hard. Even though you prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear surface of life, you are liked by most. Above all else, Catfish should stay away from Moon Pies.

GRITS (Aug 24 – Sept 23) Your highest aim is to be with others like yourself. You like to huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits. You love to travel though, so maybe you should think about joining a club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese, gravy, bacon, butter, or eggs and a good time. If you can go somewhere where they have all these things, that serves you well. You are pure in heart.

BOILED PEANUTS (Sept 24 – Oct 23) You have a passionate desire to help your fellow man. Unfortunately, those who know you best, your friends and loved ones, may find that your personality is much too salty, and their criticism will affect you deeply because you are really much softer than you appear. You should go right ahead and marry anybody you want to because in a certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the road of life, you can be sure that people will always pull over and stop for you.

BUTTER BEAN (Oct 24 – Nov 22) Always invite a Butter Bean to a party because Butter Beans get along well with everybody. You, as a Butter Bean, should be proud. You’ve grown on the vine of life, and you feel at home no matter what the setting. You can sit next to anybody. However, you, too, shouldn’t have anything to do with Moon Pies.

ARMADILLO (Nov 23 – Dec 21) You have a tendency to develop a tough exterior, but you are actually quite gentle and kind inside. A good evening for you? Old friends, a fire, some roots, fruit, worms, and insects. You are a throwback. You’re not concerned with today’s fashions and trends. You’re not concerned with anything about today. You’re almost prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You probably want to marry another Armadillo, but a Possum is another somewhat kinky mating possibility.

Daily Feng Shui News for May 4th – ‘Lemonade Day’

On ‘Lemonade Day’ let’s take the sugar out of the equation and look at the benefits associated with drinking warm lemon water, especially first thing in the morning. Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C that can help strengthen the immune system and protect against deficiencies. The juice from fresh lemons is also considered to be a powerful antibacterial and drinking it will also balance pH and acid levels in your body. Drinking fresh lemon juice in warm water will also help to cleanse and regulate the liver, so squeeze some fresh citrus into your system to flush away toxins. Forget about making lemonade and make yourself happier and healthier by drinking warm lemon water. Life might hand you lemons but now you can use them to your health advantage.

Your Charm for Sunday, May 4th is The Cross

Your Charm for Today

The Cross

Today’s Meaning:
This is probably the most popular of charms. You will be protected in this aspect. No one will be able to harm you or your state of being.

General Description:
The Cross has always been a favorite device. It was used by the sun-worshippers as a symbol of the sun, and their warriors carried the Cross upon their shields. In olden days kings and nobles, when they could not write, used the sign of the Cross. That sign was used in breaking spells and for protection from evil spirits. In the East the Cross has been used as a talisman from time immemorial. The Eastern Cross as illustrated was worn as a charm against sickness, accidents and witchcraft, also to attract good fortune. Sentences from the Koran were often inscribed upon the small pendants to make the charm still more potent.

Your Animal Spirit for Sunday, May 4th is The Ant

Your Animal Spirit for Today
May 4, 2014 

Ant

Ant is dutiful, patient, industrious and focused. If you ever put an obstacle in the middle of an ant trail, you’ll notice that ant will go over it, around it, or even under it—but ant will NOT let the obstacle drive him backwards. Above all, ant is a team player, and knows that if each member of the team does his assigned task, the team will succeed. Do you have goals that are best met by team effort? If so, get the other players off the bench and let them into your game.

Your Ancient Symbols Card for May 4th is The Hourglass

Your Ancient Symbols Card for Today

 

The Hourglass

The Hourglass is a gentle reminder that time passes and with it goes opportunity. Every moment is a moment we cannot retrieve or relive, and there are no guarantees that what we put off today really can be done tomorrow. The Hourglass urges us to make every second of our lives as rich and fulfilling as we possibly can.

As a daily card, The Hourglass suggest you may be allowing opportunities to pass you by. If you’ve been procrastinating or putting too much of your precious time into activities with no lasting value to you, now is the time for you redirect your energies into actions that will enrich your life.

Your I Ching Hexagram for May 4th – 62: Attention to Detail

62: Attention to Detail

Sunday, May 4th, 2014

hexagram09

 

 

 

 

 

Ambitious undertakings are not in order now, but attention to small matters brings progress. Such is the case of a person whose resources are meager, but who, through modesty and perseverance, rises to accomplish great things.

The key to success when small potential influences the larger scene is to avoid pretentious ambitions and grandiose goals. The power of the small is served by slow and steady advancement, and succeeds through an honest awareness of its own limitations, without reservation.

Modesty stemming from recognizing your limitations is a fine quality, but it can be seen as weakness if it is not accompanied by conscientiousness. It is important to understand the demands of your situation, and not to expect success in big things right now. The wise person recognizes the nature of the time. So, know your own role, carefully attend to details and act with humility, and you can achieve your goal even with few resources.

 

Today’s Tarot Card for Sunday, May 4th is The Empress

The Empress

Sunday, May 4th, 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traditionally entitled “Empress,” this major arcana or “trump” card portrays the energy of the Great Mother. She is Nature, around us but also within us, the ever-unfolding Source of life-giving power. She is often pictured as a pre-Christian Goddess, as the one whom the High Priestess is channeling down to earth for the rest of us.

In medieval Europe, the Empress card was painted to represent whatever Queen currently ruled the land, probably to satisfy the Inquisitors. But the scholars of the Renaissance and beyond had no doubt of her true identity, although she could not be fully revealed on Tarot cards as the “woman clothed with the sun” until after the French Revolution.

This supreme archetype of femininity also symbolizes fertility. It is She who provides us nourishment and security. She is also sometimes seen as delighting us with flowers and fruit. A potentially terrifying aspect of this archetype manifests itself whenever karmic mood swings wipe out our plans, like a storm that has come upon us. Whatever happens, the Empress is the Source of our Embodiment and of Natural Law. She might even be called “the Great Recycler.”

 

Get A Jump On Tomorrow, Your Horoscopes for Monday, April 5

We direct our attention inward for the first part of the day, but our emotional energy shifts outward later on. The Moon’s entry into dramatic Leo at 1:55 pm EDT encourages us to share what we kept secret for the last few days when she was in moody Cancer. Meanwhile, flirty Venus in impetuous Aries is attracting us to the excitement of new experiences. However, we can quickly lose momentum if we say yes to everything without managing our time.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You feel hot to trot and might not be able to slow down today. In fact, you can be so self-confident that you may say something you later wish you could take back; however, you only get to create a first impression once. Exercising a little caution along the way enables you to make quite a bit of progress now. Just make sure that you are taking the correct path before you start or you will pay the price for your impatience later on.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

The needs of your friends or coworkers may be in direct conflict with your personal desires today. Thankfully, your confidence empowers you to talk about your feelings. You believe in your ability to succeed, but might feel cheated if you don’t get the chance to share your point of view. Instead of trying to impress everyone with your sensible outlook, listen carefully to what others have to share with you before you go out on a limb. If you’re lucky, you won’t have to say anything at all.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Although a healthy self-esteem is admirable, you can find yourself in hot water today if you are overly cocky about what you think you know. You may be gifted with the ability to see what others can’t now, as if you have x-ray vision. But currently there is so much going on in your life that it’s hard to know where to begin. Don’t be afraid to rely on friends to help you determine your most practical course of action, but trust your intuition in the end.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Life would be a breeze today if you could just respond instinctively without having to rationalize your actions. But there is a plethora of information coming at you from a variety of sources that it’s challenging to choose which data to trust. Your emotional concerns may have to be temporarily set aside now if you want to get to the truth. Give yourself extra time to separate the facts from the fiction. Nothing is gained when you buy into someone else’s arbitrary schedule; only you will know when the time is right.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Several extraneous ingredients have been recently added to the recipe, and there is not much you can do about it today. Unfortunately, you might not even realize that things have grown more complex than you expected. The good news is that you’re fully capable of making the best of nearly any situation, so don’t fall into the trap of thinking you are in a weakened position now. Luckily, the Moon’s return to your sign empowers you to cook up a winning plan with whatever you are given.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re naturally skillful at integrating new information in a cool and methodical manner as you discern what’s true and what’s not. But you may be so eager to utilize the data today that you forget to do your usual careful analysis. This hurried approach can spell trouble as it leaves room for you to draw incorrect conclusions. Check your sources; facts are only as useful as their reliability. Don’t act in haste; maintain your integrity at all costs.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be so sure of the outcome today that you miss an important piece of information. Although you could be dealing with a very positive situation, don’t be afraid to ask tough questions in order to reveal any undiscovered flaws. If a possible love interest tickles your fancy, play it cautiously now until you have all the specifics. It feels good to run through the happy possibilities in your mind, but you’re only courting trouble if you make premature assumptions before you know the entire story.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Storm clouds continue to clear now, revealing new horizons that appear in the distance. The intensity recedes, but you still may be left with too many unresolved questions. The power of positive thinking is a real help today, but don’t let false optimism create a blind spot if you are still coping with a serious issue. Attempts to avoid unpleasant details will only make for an unstable situation in the future.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Everything seems to be coming up roses today as your desires are amplified by your key planet Jupiter. You’re viewing the world through a magnifying glass now, tempting you to interpret the circumstances in such a positive manner that you could overlook something crucial. Although you’re inclined to act first and ask questions later, your best bet is to wait a few days for a more realistic perspective to return. Take the next step once you can see things in their true light.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Others usually rely on you when they need to know the truth, but the roles may be reversed today. You’re tempted to swing into immediate action because an unexpected opportunity stirs your ambitious nature. Nevertheless, be prudent and dig up all the facts before you say yes. Even if you think you have a handle on your current choice, asking a close friend or family member for a second opinion is always a good idea. Thankfully, you have more time than you think to share your plans with someone you trust.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re not as rational as you believe you are today. Your logical mind is being bent out of shape by your dreams and you may not even realize that you have lost your perspective. You aren’t seeing people as they truly are now, but as you wish them to be. You can compensate by slowing down and listening to what others have to say before jumping into an unstable relationship. Fortunately, an open line of communication is all you need to keep your balance.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your feet barely touch the ground today as your key planet Jupiter amplifies your feelings of self-worth, inspiring you to feel optimistic about your future. This can be an auspicious time when you can transform your positive thoughts into concrete reality. But first you must check your facts so you don’t get too far off track. You are riding a powerful surge of energy now, so keep your wits about you or you could find yourself arriving somewhere that was never your intended destination.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, May 4th

We’re uncertain that making too much progress too quickly is a good idea today, causing us to worry about the inherent instability of the changing circumstances. The empathic Cancer Moon sensitizes us to the reactions of others, tempting us to slow down or even retreat into our own worlds. However, the Moon’s discordant aspects make action as uncomfortable as inaction. Nevertheless, we push ahead even though middle ground is hard to find.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You mean well when you ask the right questions, but sometimes others still perceive you as being too brash. However, today you are so connected to the moods of those around you that you might attempt to fix an awkward situation in order to make everyone feel at ease. You could appear to be someone’s champion at first, but assuming responsibility for another person’s emotions can lead to dependency issues and power struggles. Be a good friend without trying to run the show.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You can take a positive feeling to extremes now that the Moon joins joyful Jupiter in your 3rd House of Communication. Unfortunately, you probably won’t get away with sharing too much information today because instant karma is lurking just around every corner, ready to remind you when you have pushed a topic too far. It’s better to acknowledge your limits prior to stepping over them. Be wise and don’t say anything you might later regret. Keeping your message simple paves the road to success.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You can find your groove today, even if it’s a bumpy ride at first. You’re capable of seeing what works best for you now, inspiring you to focus on your skills rather than your weaknesses. Pay attention to the amount of energy you expend so you know when to call it quits. Remember that over-inflating your expectations only sets you up for disappointment later on. Observing the emotional weather gives you the chance to know when to stop pushing. Work smarter not harder if you really want to make a difference.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Feelings of insecurity can be quite overwhelming now that the emotional Moon is visiting your self-protective sign. Fortunately, you shouldn’t have too much of a problem today pursuing something that you want. However, you could create trouble if you demand more than you need. Ironically, you may feel frustrated even if you don’t ask for anything because you want more than you receive. The point is that this isn’t the best time to share all of your desires. Instead of bemoaning what’s missing in your life, count your blessings; a grateful attitude will take you far.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might have a very specific idea about how you want to change the dynamics of the day. However, reality doesn’t necessarily agree with your plans. Instead of digging in your heels and preparing to challenge anyone who blocks your way, try a more radical approach. Direct confrontation only isolates people’s differences now. However, adapting to the needs of others puts them more at ease, enabling you to find your way back to what you ultimately want. Oddly enough, sometimes the direct route isn’t the most effective one.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you want to demonstrate your magnanimity today, you could grow tired of dealing with people’s hidden motives and decide not to engage in the games any longer. But your emotional withdrawal is a very powerful statement on its own, for nearly everyone understands that you analyze all the possible moves before deciding what to do next. Make sure not to burn any bridges today that you might want to cross in the days ahead. Compromise is only possible if both parties agree to meet somewhere in the middle.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have mixed feelings about a significant relationship now. On one hand, you’re ready to put your plan into motion and do anything that is necessary to get your way. On the other hand, you’re weary of feeling like you’re the one who does all the work. In either case, you might end up wishing that you followed the alternative course. However, the obvious solution is to keep busy in your pursuit of success without expecting too much from others. Shift the focus and don’t let your happiness depend on anyone else.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Everyone seems to be telling you something different and, ideally, you would like to benefit from their wisdom. However, it’s tricky to find the right balance between trusting your own experience and learning from others. Ironically, you can best see what is around the bend by relying on your intuition now, instead of seeking one more perspective. Although it’s usually advantageous to have multiple points of view, today your own opinion counts more than anyone else’s.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your enthusiasm is contagious as you talk about a project that is coming together at the very last minute. But the evocative Moon’s current conjunction with buoyant Jupiter is a mixed blessing, instilling you with confidence, yet also luring you into a familiar trap that makes everything appear better than it is. There’s no cause for panic; it’s wiser to act with a well thought-out plan tomorrow than with reckless abandon today. Channel your passion into your work for positive results.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Someone attempts to manipulate your feelings today as the Moon travels through your 7th House of Partners, bringing an emotionally needy person to the forefront of your life. But this may not be such an easygoing relationship since you don’t like the possibility of having your heart toyed with now. Attempting to reach a compromise or even bringing in a mediator can raise the stakes on a developing power struggle. However, you have another choice; you could take the high road and temporarily disengage from the disagreement. Stepping back for a while might be the simplest answer of all.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel as if you’re in the midst of an emotional tug-of-war today, tempting you to seek solace from a more intellectual approach. Although you naturally excel in conceptual realms, the Moon’s square to your key planet Uranus charges your actions with intensity and quickly pushes you to the edge of discomfort. Avoiding the urgency of your emotions sounds enticing, but it’s actually a distraction from the real work at hand. The way out is the journey through the center, and nothing less.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your process of self-expression receives an energetic boost today when the reflective Moon connects up with visionary Jupiter in your 5th House of Creativity. Your active imagination is temporarily freed from fear and other emotional constraints, allowing your fantasies to take you nearly anywhere. There’s no reason to dwell on the negatives now when you can trip the light fantastic; channel your dreams into your art.

Where Will The Planets Be Next Week, Weekly Astrology for May 4 – 10

Weekly Astrology: May 4-10, 2014

If only you could cash a reality check…

Maria DeSimoneMaria DeSimone on the topics of taurus, solar eclipse, new moon, moon, eclipse, astrology

Optimism and clever ideas — all tempered with a good old-fashioned reality check. Yes, the stars appear to have every angle covered this week.

Tuesday, May 6: Sun in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer

On Tuesday, the stable Sun in Taurus will be at a friendly angle to expansive Jupiter, now in security-oriented Cancer. You’ll have a special ability to carve out the perfect blend of physical and emotional stability in your world, allowing you to feel safe, optimistic, and grounded in your current reality. You might decide to make a real estate purchase or other move in your life that will add to the feeling of support between you and your clan. Go for it!

Wednesday, May 7: Mercury in Gemini

Then, on Wednesday, Mercury enters chatty Gemini,, where he’ll remain until May 29. Ideas will fly off the page, out of your brain, and into the energy field of just about anyone you can get your hands on to listen. Expect lively conversations and the general feeling of “business” to increase. You may feel more scattered than usual during this time, so if there’s a vital project you need to focus on or a looming deadline, do your best to make it a priority.

Saturday, May 10: Sun opposite Saturn in Scorpio

Saturday’s energy should help direct you. The Sun will oppose Saturn on this day, bringing with it a certain type of karmic comeuppance. If you use your vital energy wisely, you may not feel this as an abrasive day. If, however, you’re not respecting the current boundaries or responsibilities life has thrown your way, you’ll likely feel overwhelmed and even crushed by them.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, May 4th

Slow your tempo in the early going today as the Moon in Aries remains void until the lunar orb enters earthy Taurus (7:24AM). Before the Moon can reach the Sun in this zodiacal sign — forming tonight’s New Moon at 9 degrees of Taurus (11:15PM) — the lunar orb has one main stop to make as it conjuncts Juno (9:32AM). Tune into the realms of fashion, design, and elegance for a change of pace. Consider redecorating plans for a favorite room in your home. Very often success and monetary rewards come to those who dress with style when they go to their workplace or ride the elevator to the executive penthouse. Don’t let worries and self-doubts hinder your forward progress as Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Mars (4:45PM) followed by a contra-parallel between Mercury and Saturn (6:05PM). There’s no reason that these two challenging aspects have to lower the boom on you. Tune into an inspirational, 72-degree contact from Venus to Pluto (7:29PM) to reorient you toward the path of strong-willed achievement. Once the Annular Solar Eclipse (11:05PM) and its Taurus New Moon companion (11:15PM) clock in, it is the right time to seize the bull by the horns and feel a wave of overall encouragement prodding you onward. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Calendar of the Moon for Sunday, May 4th

Calendar of the Moon
4 Huath/Thargelion

Arianrhod’s Day

Color: Silver
Elements: Air and water
Altar: Upon a white and silver cloth lay several silver moons, in order from new crescent to full to old moon, four white candles, and incense of myrrh.
Offerings: Clean something white.
Daily Meal: Cool white food.

Invocation to Arianrhod

Silver Wheel that spins in the sky,
Keeper of the Spiral Tower,
Keeper of deep mysteries,
Unforgiving moon that stares down
Upon our hapless dreams,
Lover of the ocean and its spirits,
Lover of the sky and its spirits,
Lady of the night horizon,
The point where starry sky touches starry sea,
We call you forth upon this day
To ask for your blessing on us,
As you blessed your son Llew Llaw Gyffes.
And even as that blessing was not easy
In forthcoming, we know that you will not
Give out your benedictions at our will.
So this we say, Lady: We have worked,
And willed, and created a dream
And made it reality, and here we stand together,
And if that is not worth something to the world,
Then nothing is. Arm us well, Lady of the Silver Wheel,
With weapons sharp and keen,
Tongue and mind of steel that yet yields
To the spear of Truth that strikes.
Bless each name that we have taken,
As you gave your son his name,
And bless us with divine inspiration
That we might bring more beauty
To the world and all its beings.

Chant:
Light up the night
Light up the night
Bring your dreams into the circle
