Your Lucky Clover’s Advice
A word is more enduring than worldly wealth.


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!

The World
The World card is the last card of the Tarot, and as such, signals a time of completion and accomplishment. If there is anything you have left unfinished in regard to love and romance, now is the time to tie up these loose ends. You have the potential to enjoy the fruits of your labor in relationships now, resting on your laurels and receiving praise and recognition from others.

The High Priestess
Whenever the High Priestess card comes up, the essence of womanhood is involved. The High priestess rules over the spiritual realm of the female psyche. It’s a card that makes you feel one with nature and those around you instead of separated. Although the High Priestess herself is a recluse, she remains involved with all facets of your life from an unseen spiritual place. The High Priestess guides you toward a profound love instead of a frivolous one.

The Magician
Have you fallen under a spell today and do not want to let go of the fantasy? Do you think you found the ideal? Could you be ignoring what you feel might destroy the ideal? Think twice. Put the brakes on and contemplate as you work to see things in perspective. If in a relationship, criticism might be a turn on for someone, but does it work for you?



Your reading for Today:
You’ll be feeling a bit on edge today, dear Jane. The Moon that represents your state of mind is indicating a heightened sensitivity and a fertile imagination, and a romantic vision of love. The Empress is the sign of personal fulfillment, and the marriage of these two cards indicates an emotional life that is full of mutual and true feelings. Follow your intuition, it won’t let you down. In your professional life, the Empress and Death indicate a change in your activities, provided you manage to improve communication with the people around you. In order to achieve this you need to make an effort to express your ideas without constantly fearing that they will automatically be met by a negative response. If you want to progress your career, you have to believe that you are being taken seriously and that people will listen to your ideas if they are well founded.
You are an especially clever and knowledgeable person. Your intuition is powerful, and you’re able to quickly size up a situation or person. Others frequently turn to you for your wise and unique advice. You’re generous with your time and energy, always willing to help out those who really need it. Still, you are not a pushover and although you don’t need much of it, you do appreciate gratitude. You are extremely hard-working. You can be impulsive in love, as you need some level of change and variety on a romantic level. Your enthusiasm is one of your most attractive traits. You are especially able to breathe life into your relationships.

With the Sun and Moon in a waxing semi-square (Crescent Moon) at the time of your birthday this year, the period ahead is one of new initiatives and action. You possess quite a bit of energy, but you must be aware that emotions color much of what you do this year. It can be hard to be objective as a result.
This can be a year in which you experience important turning points, or you could begin new projects or goals that have a long-term impact on your life.
This is a time when you feel confident and supported enough to pursue your desires. It’s a good time to take steps towards making yourself feel more secure and safe, and for family or domestic activities. This is also a period when you more readily support or defend your loved ones, and they do the same! New connections and opportunities can be sudden but welcome.
Energy fluctuates this year, however. If you aren’t too rash or impulsive, you might be able to free yourself from restrictive circumstances. You could also have more courage than usual to do things that break the routine, and confrontations engaged in this year could clear the air and help you to move forward.
With Venus and Mars in a square aspect to each other in your Solar Return chart, your affections are strongly stimulated, and you are more acutely aware of your powers of attraction. Romance, love, sexuality, competition, and creative projects occupy your mind more than usual. You can enjoy an increase in personal magnetism but be wary of competitiveness or tension in existing relationships, as this aspect ignites your passions in general, whether they’re feelings of love or anger!
You’re also quite driven to make improvements and effect positive change in the year ahead. This positively impacts many areas of your life beyond the personal, including relationships and work.
From March 2019 forward, you benefit from a transiting Saturn trine to your Sun which is an especially grounding influence. This gives you a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. Practice or refining a technique is favored this year. The approach that seems to work best with this aspect is a step-by-step one and the appreciation of slow but steady progress. Stabilizing elements in your life add value.
New beginnings are likely this year as your life takes on new directions. In certain areas of your life, you’re inclined to rock the boat this year so that you can break free from a limiting situation. Be mindful when/if making sweeping changes. In other areas, you’re hunkering down and getting organized. It’s a good year in which to do detail work and to prepare for the future. Some relationships (or a key one) can be competitive or up-and-down, but you’re also making special connections. Special care with finances is wise this year, particularly when it comes to impulse buys.
2018 is a Number Five year for you. Ruled by Mercury. This is a year of discovery and freedom. It’s a time when exploration and reaching out to others brings opportunities. It’s a good time to advertise, promote, and sell. Surprises are in store, and the routine is broken for the better. This is a year when exciting relationships can be formed; or, if you are already in a partnership, new life is breathed into the relationship. Advice – explore, look for adventure, keep your eyes open for opportunities, diversify, mingle.
2019 will be a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It’s a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are especially able to attract others–and material things as well–this year. This is a good year for establishing harmony in the family and in the home. Advice – develop existing relationships, be positive and receptive because these kinds of energies help you to attract what you desire.
Do you believe in real magic? And by magic we mean serendipity, messages, signs, odd happenings, mysterious manifestations, and getting what you want with the power of your mind. We’re all magical to some degree but how magical are you according to your sun sign?
Note:
Aries, your strongest abilities lie in your adventurousness and courage. Therefore, your magical abilities lie in these areas too. How many times do things work for you when they would not work out for anyone else? Your sheer willpower carries you through. Tip: when you really want something to manifest for you, think about it at that magical moment before orgasm. All that power will be focused on your desire. Have fun with that.
Taurus, you are so connected to the earth that your power seeps up from the very ground. Earth magic is a powerful force. Draw upon it to create security, stability, and refuge. Love and money spells work well for you because you are already tuned into abundance and certainty. Tip: next time you are thinking of bringing something new into your life, imagine the energy pulsing up through your feet. Like a magnet it attracts exactly what you need.
Gemini, your magical talent is in your ability to free up your mind. You are like an antenna, tuning into the wild network of thought and communication which surrounds us. You have a skill for picking out the important details, for anticipating what a person will say. This sensitivity can help you in all walks of life. Tip: This is a skill you can develop, don’t ignore it.
Cancer, you are empathic and emotional. You know how someone feels instinctively. You can feel moods and tune into the atmosphere in a room. Therefore, you would be very good at tarot reading or other divinatory skill. Your ability to counsel someone through a difficult time is also part of your magical repertoire. Tip: Don’t underestimate your own abilities, you have magical skills that can help others.
Leo, your magical abilities lie in the realm of inspiration. You somehow always know what your next move is. It is as if you are guided by an invisible hand. Your personal charisma can be so magical that you always get your way. People always turn up when you need them. Tip: think about how you can use your magical abilities for good things. Giving leads to increased satisfaction.
Virgo, you have a natural ability for healing. People calm down in your presence. You can call on that earth energy to give you all the strength you need to bring peace to any situation. You are the negotiator, the mediator, and the conciliator. Tip: if you haven’t already, explore the possibilities of becoming a professional healer. You will excel.
Libra, your magical skills lie in your ability to bring beauty, harmony, and balance. As an air sign, you are excellent at communication and you are able to see situations from both sides, including beyond the veil of life and death. You can even tune into messages from the past. Tip: Give yourself permission to listen to those soft, whispering voices.
Scorpio, you have a range of magical abilities. From knowing what other people’s true motives are, to communicating with the dead. The main downside is that you are drawn to the black arts as well as using your power for good. Tip: Stop, breathe, and think before you cast that curse. You are more powerful than you know.
Sagittarius, your positive attitude brings what you want, even things you didn’t know you wanted. Your optimism means you are constantly pleased and surprised by these magical, spontaneous deliveries. Tip: If you set your mind to it, your manifestations could be even more deliberate and satisfying. Take time to learn how to manipulate energy.
Capricorn, abundance and manifesting your desire are your top skills. However, you have others. That strong pulsing earth energy means you are far more spiritual and magical than you ever thought. You just need to keep an open mind and be prepared to try new things. Tip: buy yourself a book on witchcraft and see what you can do.
Aquarius, you are probably among the most magical people on the planet. You have the ability to communicate with faery folk and entities hidden from the rest of us. You can see and hear beyond the normal realm. Aquarius, you can create anything you want when you focus your power. Tip: the magical world is your oyster, explore everything.
Pisces, your abilities lie in the realm of imagination. If you can imagine it, you can create it. Like the other water signs you are also a healer, a visionary, and can empathize with any living soul. Tip: Your special skills are in your dreamworld. Study the language of dreams and develop the ability to lucid dream. A whole new universe of magical possibilities will open up for you.
We all have the capability to tune into the magical world, if we want to. Why live a mundane existence when you can delve into powers and skills you didn’t know you have? Be adventurous, live your life with a touch of magic. Discover how magical you really are.

With Equinox just around the corner, it’s helpful to understand the key potentials and things to pay attention to, as part of your preparation for this next big energy gateway. Continue reading to discover 5 things you will want to factor into your week.
Equinox as a reminder marks a change in seasons and is often associated with new starts and breakthroughs. The energy of Equinox can be palpable, too, waves of transformation arising and catalyzing mega shifts on both a personal and planetary level.
5 Things to Know Now
FIRST: At our second Equinox of the year, we often reflect about where we are and progress we are making. Given this year’s turbulent energies, it’s even more essential to take these moments to reassess, renew, and reset our energies. Since this Equinox is in Libra – representing a search for balance – we have a significant catalyst for our reflections and assessments. It’s like the universe is supporting our taking a pause and looking at things more deeply before moving on.
SECOND: as we consider where we are and the state of our world this Equinox, it’s essential that we factor in the big picture that includes more than the mundane and often crazy-making squabbles and polarization we witness day-to-day. Yes, that’s going on and it’s troubling to say the least. Remember though that we are quantum beings – a vast amount of change is happening in the background before it becomes readily apparent. Many of the most profound changes in how life is lived have been percolating within peoples’ hearts and minds for a very long time. Those changes have an inner level template already existing!
THIRD, the energies now support mega changes. Trust that. Be heartened by that. Take this knowing within, too, for you as a divine changemakers play a key role. Step into the Equinox window with an open mind and open heart. Be willing to go deeper with yourself, allowing Equinox to illuminate key blocks to address, things you are ready to leave behind, actions you have been avoiding, and what you need to more fully understand at this juncture. Meditate on these things, on your own, and with a group on Equinox. Time and energy well spent.
FOURTH, for three months after Equinox, planetary energies will catalyze opportunities to heal what you discover on a personal level. In other words, Equinox is like a set up helping you to go to a deeper level with your spiritual transformation. You may, for example, become aware of ancestral or past life DNA level patterns that are keeping you stuck. You may all of a sudden one day wake up with an insight that puts a convoluted issue into context – so you can heal it at its root.
FIFTH, your emotions may be more on the surface now and throughout the next three months. Honor them, be with them like you would be with a best friend. Process them, however, before you text or take a significant action. Strive for neutrality, applying an open heart to yourself, others, and life events. Remind yourself daily that you are here for the journey. Happenstance comes and goes. It is the life journey itself that’s important. Treasure the moments, the smiles, the hugs, and the exhilaration of simple things. Treasure the people who stream in and out of your life experience – each one is a jewel.

If you allow it, the whole thing can be completely overwhelming, it’s true. But don’t stop there. It is for you to be a change maker in the midst of it, without feeling like you have to shovel dirt to move the mountain. You are a very powerful light bearer with much work to do, so start. Remember. When you hear about something that tugs your heart, send light. See the highest outcome transpiring. Send light to those on the front lines. Envision the entire planet and all of the sentient beings and intricate systems in harmony, peace and balance. Hold the light of possibility in order to make it so. Do not lower your energy field in compliance with those who may doubt you. You are what you have been waiting for. Send love to those in turmoil or darkness, or in the path of a hurricane. Send light to the planet as she heals from what we humans have done to her and to lessening the impact on sentient beings of weather changes, earthquakes, volcanoes, storms. You are powerful light and influence the whole with every ripple, why have this great power be wasted or joining the problem over the solution? It is your moment by moment choice. You know what to do. It is we who are “the second coming”; it is we who are in charge of anchoring unconditional love in every aspect of our Earthly experience. It is our choice. Time to make haste; there is no time to waste.
So what draws your heart in positivity will expand that for the collective. Your out-picturing of the highest outcome will contribute to that; the reverse is also true. Choose your team and get on with it. This extraordinary time of unveiling the deceit and corruption is traumatizing, but of course, it is also cause for celebration. Let the truth be shown. There are no borders in this process, we are all one, all Earthlings, all joined by our original cause. This is not a political process, it is a spiritual one. It is a joining of the hearts. It is time that we take charge of our own experience, our own creations, our own lives. Choosing peace and love and harmony and well-being and health and vitality and expansion and abundance, holds the light of possibility for everyone to experience it too. It is time. There will be chaos and upheaval before things settle, but choosing your team in advance helps with that. Choosing your intentions and knowing your purpose in it helps. You are here to help create the New Earth filled with all that you know in the depth of your true heart to be good and right. Hold the light for that always. When the external world gets you down, receive nourishment from your rich internal world, fuelled by your deep spiritual connection to All That Is, the boundless resource for all. When you need external refuge, seek nature. Walk among the trees and near the water and witness the extraordinary miracles of the animals and the birds. All you need do is really look at a cobweb in the sunlight, or consider the migration of the monarch butterflies or the whales in the ocean, or the awesome cloud shapes…and you are reminded of what is true and right in our world. Seek solace in nature; it will rejuvenate you in times of thirst. The desire to protect it is as vital as protecting ourselves, and reminds us that we are part of it.
This time of the equinox provides a great opportunity to anchor greater balance within ourselves, and consequently in our world. The time of equal light and darkness creates a balance point, a fulcrum by which we can choose the Buddha’s Middle Path…the grounded, neutral, centre point from which we wield our great power and light for the highest outcome of our home: Heaven on Mother Earth. It is time. You know what to do.
With great love, support and camaraderie, we stand with you.
The Council of Light Within Everyone

As we move through the Equinox, we are called to demonstrate being in the New. In the old, we reacted in fear, judgment, anger and all things of being emotionally insecure. In the New, we maintain our neutrality. We are Compassionate Observers, detached from taking things personally and wanting to retaliate in familiar old ways. Yet in the New, we are not only detached, but we are calm and non-judgmental; we are Love; there is no need to lower our vibrations to match others. Use the energy of the Equinox to be more in the New than of the old. The Equinox helps us leap into a very different landscape where there is much unknown, and when you observe yourself, you realize you have changed so much…from not reacting to others’ judgments of you to a complete reversal of how you used to be. The energy of the Equinox can be integrated within so you may let go of the last vestiges of old beliefs and patterns. With the energy of the Equinox there are many energetic changes. This means that a lot of the changes happen deep within you. You see, you might look at your life and decide that nothing has shifted and yet, when you go within you notice that everything has changed.
As you focus on being a master of Love, you will undoubtedly see, feel, hear and knowthat you are in the New; where magic happens. Release all doubt that this true. You have all and are all you need to do and be this. The Equinox is when there is great Balance within you and in your environment. It is the merging of equal partnership within you and all around you. This means that there is a potential for a complete merging of your Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine in your relationships and all of life. Balance is a stabilizer of dark and Light (with darkness transforming to Light) and there is Balance in close relationships as well, which may precipitate a closing of a chapter and an opening to that which more fully is aligned with who you are. Do not be afraid to let go. You are supported in all choices; especially those choices in which you align yourself with Love. Remember that letting go can be a lot more loving than clinging to any fear you may have; it is loving to self and to others (even when it doesn’t seem that way, especially if one is not fully awake).
During the period before, during and after the Equinox, there are energies that are designed to expand consciousness. To many, this may look like endings and disruptions. My mother said it seems this is the end of times. Yes; it is the end of 3D. Those who choose not to wake up from the illusion of 3D certainly may see that all is ending. For these ones, yes it is. Those who are awake know there are no endings; only Transformation.
Some gifts that have the potential of becoming stronger are Intuition and a dissolution of more illusions (illusions can be lies, how a person adheres to their old stories or a view into things that appear real but aren’t. Illusions can be old beliefs as well. Beliefs are attachments to how you think things should be). There is more awakening and more Wisdom. This particular Equinox has the potential to bring very high vibrations and transformations for all, including our Earth. We can experience more awakening, more energy along with many more opportunities (oh no! More choices?!). There is an increase of Love as well. You may want to be near water, in Nature or in the mountains, as there is much Peace and Awareness in these high vibrational places. Are you ready to completely leave behind old patterns and beliefs? If so, use the Power of this Equinox to make choices that are aligned with who you are now.
If you are in a meaningful relationship, don’t rush into making a decision to leave. Be patient and take a breath. Realize that many relationships are transforming. Choose what is right for you…choose with Awareness and not fear. Be patient and be in your Integrity. Realize that how you choose creates the next moments. Realize that you may be intolerant of old energies; see who drains you and who energizes you. You see, those who drain you and yet you still choose to be with those folks not only shows you where you drain yourself, but also points you in the right direction. You may want to go somewhere alone and be in touch with what you truly want and what you are no longer willing to endure.
This is a time to see things clearly. You may want to make amends (Forgiveness) and you may want to release much: drama, old beliefs, codependency and all that limits you. Be sure to let go of old emotions such as shame, guilt, anger and energies (for these truly are all energies) that limit who you are. Let go of your old stories (things others or you keep telling yourself to explain why things are the way they are). You are not your stories. Your stories are of the old. You are New. If you feel ultra-sensitive, amped up, quite emotional, along with some other phenomena, realize that all these energies are helping you be into a more rarified state of being. Remember, you are becoming more sensitive to energies and you are intuiting much. You may also experience restlessness, vertigo and disorientation. Pay attention to when you see number sequences and experience synchronicities. You may also have sleep changes and may be thirstier and hungrier as well (or just the opposite). Don’t compare yourself to others, as we are all individuals. We may be One, yet we experience everything uniquely designed for just ourselves…we experience whatever helps us transform.
As we move into the next phase; the Equinox; there may be a lull beforehand. Use this time to integrate all you’ve learned and experienced. Perhaps view the last six months and notice how you’ve shifted, what Gaia’s been doing and all that has brought you to this New Now. It’s a great time to nurture yourself and be kind to yourself and others. This time of preparation definitely helps you be grounded before the energies begin again. Breathe deeply. Remember that you are in charge of how you feel. Life doesn’t happen to you; youcreate life. Be true to yourself. This doesn’t mean you yell to everyone how different you are; you can be silent and maintain your own Integrity. Be who you are (not the old familiar you; the New you).
Be sure to use your Discernment. When you discern what is true for you, you are in your Integrity. Feel what is right for you and let the rest go. The words that expand your Heart are true for you; those that constrict your Heart are false for you. By now, your Heart is strong, while your intellect is quieter. Having a strong Heart helps you be more intuitive and wise. It helps you feel into things (Discernment). Use words that empower rather than separate or minimize. Words are energy and they are symbols of what beliefs you hold. When you are clear of all old beliefs, your words reflect your Clarity and are positive. See all that you attract into your life as a mirror. It’s a beautiful way to clear yourself of outmoded beliefs and behaviors. Feel into everything. For too long, most have relied on their intellect and still do. Feel; it’s the only way to truly know what is true for you.
Much is completing now; this is to prepare us for what’s ahead. Many have ascended multiple times and others are ascending for the first time. It matters not who is doing what; just pay attention to your own journey. Remember that Ascension is not a one-time event; it is ongoing. You don’t stop evolving (unless you choose to). The next three months surely will see much shifting; many “humans” and other lifeforms will go through much. How we perceive it all is up to each being. For me, I always see the positive even in the most horrendous events. This is how I choose to be.
Please do integrate all you’ve learned into your everyday life. It’s the only way to move ahead. Is there anything you’ve forgotten? (It is the first thing (or more than one) that comes to you.) The bottom line is you are Source. You are Soul. You are a master of Love.

Astrologically, at the root of depression, I believe, is a starving Moon. If your natal lunar needs are not being met then the rest of your horoscope has a difficult time functioning. I have always said this to my clients and have found it to be true over and over again. The Moon is our instinctive feeling nature. It’s where we feel safest, most nourished, and nurtured. The Moon represents the deepest needs we have as individuals.
Stifle someone’s Moon and you’re stifling their emotional well-being. PERIOD.
A while back I went through a mild postpartum depression episode, my friends. No, I didn’t have another baby. I did, however, take home a three month old puppy. Unless you’ve been through postpartum depression, you may not relate to the feelings of sadness that accompany what is supposed to be such an incredibly joyful event. I did suffer through postpartum depression with the birth of my first child, more than 18 years ago. It was one of the darkest times of my life and I don’t ever want to go there again.
At the root of my depressive episodes is always a starving Moon. I was born with the Moon in Sagittarius, in the 8th House of Depth and Transformation. My Moon is closely conjunct Neptune, square my 12th house Jupiter in Pisces, and trine my 12th house Venus in Aries.
In English? With the Moon in Sagittarius my overwhelming need is to have freedom of movement to expand my horizons, pursue the deeper meaning of life, and experience adventures. I also need to spread my wisdom on deep psychological (8th house) and metaphysical matters (Sagittarius) so that I might heal (8th house) and inspire others (Sagittarius). The Moon next to Neptune and square Jupiter in Pisces in the 12th house speaks to my deep, over-exaggerated need for alone time and privacy; for peace. And the trine to Venus helps me experience pockets of joy in those moments of helping to heal the suffering of others.
With the birth of my son I was suddenly put in this prison that is otherwise known as motherhood. I realize it’s a dramatic statement for some to read but please, understand my needs and my visceral reaction. I felt that all of my freedom was suddenly gone. That I would never again have the time or peace and quiet or personal space to pursue the interests that fed my soul.
It had nothing to do with loving my son. I loved him with all of my soul. But it had everything to do with not being able to blend my new life of chaotic motherhood with getting my lunar needs met. I would nurse my son and look at him so peaceful and I would cry. I would cry because I felt very much at the time that making sure he had all of his needs met came at the sacrifice of my own needs.
It took time but after about eight months the depression went away. I adjusted to motherhood and I found ways to feed my Moon in little ways. What really helped me was that my ex-mother-in-law would watch my son for me for a few hours each week so I could have my “alone time” and do whatever I needed to in order to nourish my soul. My Moon. Having the freedom to go out without the shackles of baby stuff was really all I needed at the time.
And here I was again recently, with this little adorable puppy, feeling a lot like I felt all those years ago. The difference? These days I know Astrology, and I know exactly what I needed to do in order to make sure the depression didn’t get worse.
For the puppy, for my children, and most importantly, for myself, I had to feed my Moon. Are you a caregiver? Then remember to put your oxygen mask on first. Otherwise, how can you take care of anyone else?
What is your Moon sign? What house does it live in your horoscope? And what are the aspects that the Moon makes to the rest of your chart? Learn more about this and you’ll make sure that you never starve. Happy Moon equals happy life.
