Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, January 10th

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, January 10th

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope

As ambitious as you are these days, there can be many distractions preventing you from mastering all that you want to accomplish, dear Aries. Today, it may be your inner need for change that’s doing all the interfering! Watch for a tendency to challenge authority or tradition in ways that stir up trouble rather than help bring positive change. Look within for a need to make changes and answer that call, rather than simply reacting to others and circumstances. Tone down rough edges and consider ways to make changes without making so many waves. Fortunately, you become far more strategic as the day advances. You might decide to take charge of a private, past, or health matter now as you instinctively hone in on your priorities. Good energy is with you for tackling long-standing problems or work. Working anonymously or from behind the scenes can prove beneficial.

Taurus

Taurus Horoscope

While you’re seeking out new ideas and experiences these days, dear Taurus, there can be roadblocks along the way, mostly in the way of unmet responsibilities. Today, you may be your own worst enemy in this regard. Unresolved problems from your past or issues that were left up in the air can stand in your way. There can be surprising new information or circumstances that throw off your schedule or plans with a Sun-Uranus square coloring the first half of the day. Seek to satisfy your cravings for something different by varying your routine, learning something new, or enjoying a new activity, rather than stir up trouble or remain in limbo, doubting yourself. Later today, good energy is with you for networking and for feeling that you are part of a team. If it means giving up something for the sake of the group, be willing. Group work can be beneficial, or a friend can build your confidence or convince you to pursue your goals and desires.

Gemini

Gemini

Surprises or changes in plans and moods can point to the need to adjust expectations and attitudes today, dear Gemini. If you’re feeling especially tense or restless, try to channel excess energy into worthwhile pursuits. Investigating new approaches and experimenting with new methods can satisfy an itch for doing something different and unusual. While it can seem natural to part with things or even people now, wait until you’ve thought or talked things through. There can be uneasy feelings about commitments temporarily. As well, there can be conflicting feelings as you crave intimacy and independence in equal measure. With Mars in your career and reputation sector, you’re feeling more ambitious these days, and later today, either people or
circumstances seem to work entirely in your favor. You are especially detail-oriented, and with research and analysis, you can solve a difficult problem.

Cancer

Cancer

A square between the Sun and Uranus colors the first half of today with some tension and rebellious energy, dear Caner. It may be particularly challenging following all of the rules or sticking to a schedule. There can be some difficult or erratic energy in a relationship, particularly with a partner, parent, or authority figure. If a change in approach is needed, try out one now. Rigidity seems to create more resistance, so aim to be flexible. While you crave more understanding in a close relationship, if long-term goals are clashing, find ways to work around and accept this. You’re not in any mood for others telling you what to do today, but as the day advances, you see the benefits and strategic value of working with instead of against someone. You may be teaming up with a significant other to achieve a goal with great success. It’s a commitment-friendly time. Your instincts are excellent for putting your energy into activities that are likely to thrive and leave you feeling accomplished or empowered.

Leo

Leo Glyph Symbol Horoscope

You may stumble upon a new way to approach an old health or work problem today, dear Leo, so try to stay positive and centered if your schedule changes abruptly. There can be difficulties concentrating with numerous things distracting you. There can be a real disdain for routine now, however, and even if you want to stick close to your plans, something can come up that changes them. New interests can distract you from the task at hand. Aim to find ways to fill your need for change, new horizons, and learning new things, but keep your routines going so that you stay grounded. The key is to find a better balance. The second half of the day has great potential to be increasingly more productive and satisfying. You are rather fearless when it comes to problem solving and might discover a solution to a problem now, or you can turn a negative situation into a positive. You are willing to make important changes and to put the necessary effort in as well. Sharing work with someone can be enjoyable and productive now.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol Horoscope

In the first half of the day, a Sun-Uranus influence challenges you to better understand your feelings and expectations of others, dear Virgo. The atmosphere can be a little excitable or chaotic, and it can be difficult to discern how you feel. However, Uranian energy is also useful for awakening your mind to new ways of doing things that pull you out of ruts. You might find creative inspiration right now. Expect the unexpected and avoid hanging too tightly to traditions or the past. If you can manage to work at your own pace today, take the opportunity. Consciously pull your energy away from tense situations and let go of stress, but keep an open mind to new approaches and fresh perspectives. In the second half of the day, you are in a more focused and deliberate frame of mind. There can also be very productive activities with a significant person in your life. You seek out more intensity and passion in a relationship or project, and you’re likely to find it now.

Libra

Libra

Competitive energies with family or a partner may keep you on edge in the first half of the day, dear Libra. Uranus is active today and can be a fickle and rebellious energy, but it also has the effect of awakening us to new ways of thinking and new spins on old traditions. Change can be unsettling, but if it helps us to move forward and away from bad habits, then it’s beneficial. What’s important now is to work with Uranus instead of resisting it. Think of new ways to relate to others, freshen your mind with alternative possibilities, and open your heart to change. Interruptions to your plans may set you on a detour that ends up feeling right. In the second half of the day, focus improves tremendously, and you can barrel through tasks that usually would take much longer to complete. Concentration and commitment are the keys right now. This is a great time to get a leg up on work or health routines.

Scorpio

Scorpio Horoscope

A Sun-Uranus square aspect today suggests some unrest or interruptions of plans, dear Scorpio. However, this can inspire a new perspective on a matter and, ideally, sends you in happy new directions. A minor work or scheduling crisis may need managing. If you’ve been suppressing frustration, it might emerge suddenly. It can be difficult to be productive with scattered energy, and stress can have a way of aggravating health problems, so do what you can to center yourself and relax. Today and tomorrow as well, remember your limits and avoid over-scheduling. In the second half of the day, your confidence builds. You can successfully channel your energy into creative or productive pursuits. This can be a great time to begin a new project or to apply yourself to important works in progress. You have more influence and persuasive power than usual.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Horoscope

The desire to stick with what’s comfortable and familiar is strong these days, dear Sagittarius, but today, there can be some wild cards that keep you on your toes. Playing it by ear is necessary. Changes in plans can stimulate new approaches and ideas, so keep an open mind. Watch for some impatience, particularly in dealings with romantic interests or friends. Also be careful with your valuables, as you are a little more inclined to lose or misplace something. Later today, you might consider getting a new project started as you have the foresight and patience for devising a long-term strategy. This is also a strong time for romantic relationships and interactions with children. Home renovations may be in focus, but reorganization may just as well be in order. Take a closer look at expenses and think in terms of what you already have and how to better use these resources.

Capricorn

Capricorn Horoscope

With the Sun and Uranus forming a square to one another today, if you’ve been burying frustrations, they may very well emerge and disrupt things now, dear Capricorn. Family relationships can be a little tense or strained, or unexpected events in your personal life have you feeling off schedule. Try to take a break from the routine and find new ways to enjoy yourself if your current setup seems stifling. However, be sure to entertain ideas for incorporating more stimulation into these things going forward so that abrupt mood changes are less likely. Changes of plans can sometimes lead to new ways of looking at a matter, and this can be helpful even if the initial disruption annoys you. Later today, your energy reserves are strong, so you may want to take on projects that require concentration or competitive activities. You may uncover answers to complex problems.

Aquarius

Aquarius

This morning, there may be changes to plans to deal with, dear Aquarius, or possibly news or conversations that touch a nerve. There may also be a tendency to speak of a matter prematurely. You can be quite stubborn when it comes to doing things on your own or your own way, and this can lead to conflicts with others now. Don’t be afraid to look within for answers. Uranus is your ruler and is also known as the awakener, stimulating change. Even if disruptions seem abrupt, they offer you a chance to see yourself and your inner motives more clearly. Boredom with your routine can lead to new adventures or a bit of mischief now! Later today, focused energy and determination can help you turn around a financial or emotional matter. Satisfaction comes from a job well done. This is a great time for getting rid of excess baggage in your life, as you have a stronger ability to see what needs to be left behind.

Pisces

PiscesThrough the events of the day, and possibly disruptive ones, dear Pisces, you become aware of the need to make changes to your long-term goals or approach to friendships. People may be emotionally excitable, and schedules may not be honored as the Sun and Uranus clash in the first half of the day. You can feel pressure to come up with ideas for new projects. Erratic returns on your projects can be a source of tension. Some of you may feel motivated to fix a friendship, or you may want to break free of someone’s hold on you. Address the need for change and a little more freedom, but aim to make these changes consciously rather than reacting abruptly to the limits or restrictions you may be feeling. Later today, your display of strength of character can open up opportunities to you, as others are seeing you as particularly competent. Your desire to make things happen has been strong recently with Mars in your sign, and now you benefit from the support of Pluto to make positive changes and improvements.

 

2017: New Beginnings and the Year of Sacred Earth

2017: New Beginnings and the Year of Sacred Earth

To read more of Celia’s insight, please visit her website, Starchild Global with Celia Fenn

Welcome to Sacred Earth!

Beloved Family, as you move forward into this New Year of 2017 we would welcome you all to a New Beginning, a New Cycle of Time and a very special time for the Planet.  This will be the year when “Sacred Earth” energy becomes more manifest, and when those who are awakened and living with Higher Consciousness will engage their Creativity and Intention to celebrate the Sacred Nature of Life and the Sacred Earth herself.

In this period of time since the Lion’s Gate portal in August, the Earth has made a major “Time Line Shift” which has caused huge waves and tumultuous shifts in the last few months.  This has been done to align Earth and Humanity with the path that will lead to the renewal of the Earth and the re-establishment of Sacred Paths on the Planet.

How can this be?  You may well ask, as you look around you and see chaos and changes that do not seem to be in the interest of the greater good.  But, we ask you to know that this is the way forward that will allow all the Diamond Heart Warriors and the Rainbow Earth Warriors to stand up and stand for the highest good of Earth and Humanity, and all Beings who live on the Earth.

In this New Time Cycle, which commences now, this path will take you forward to a pristine and re-birthed Earth.  But, this will not happen without your efforts to manifest and create.  Now is the time that you were born for, now is the time when you must connect with your Soul and Spirit, and with your deep Passion for Life, and set your intentions and create the kind of Earth that you desire.

We ask that you do this in a Sacred Way.  Not with violence and aggression, but with strength and power and walking always with Spirit.  Remember that in the last cycle of Time you were trained to be Warriors of the Heart.  Now in this Cycle of Time that you will create, you will be Warriors and Creative Artists of the Diamond Heart.  You will carry and transmit the Energy Signature of the Diamond Star Fire, and wherever you are this powerful energy will do its transformative work.

Beloved Ones, do not underestimate the transformative power of awakened presence and of the Diamond Fire.  When you are aligned with your Heart and Soul and you carry the Diamond Codes in your Light Body and energy field, then you are a potent energy for change and transformation, simply by allowing your Energy Signature to “imprint” on your environment.

The Energy Signature : Sacred Self, Sacred Space, Sacred Earth

As we move into the New Beginning, and as we call it, the Big Re-Set, let us consider a little the nature of the Energy Signature that is carried by awakened and Conscious Beings.

This Energy Signature begins with the work that you have done within yourselves in the last 9 year cycle.  You have learnt to focus within and to find the Divine Essence and the Divine Creative Power that lives within each one of you.  As you have worked to “embody” Soul and Spirit, you have discovered that true Peace lives within you, and not outside of you.  And so you have worked to connect with that deep peace of the Soul, and to identify the shadow self that might hold you back.  And so you have arrived at the point where the Light within your Heart, Soul and Body is so powerful that you are a Transmitter for the Divine Light.

This continuum of Spirit, Soul and Body is most powerful when you pray, whether alone or in groups, when you meditate and when you do Sacred Ceremony for the Earth.

So, we ask you to understand that as a single Being, you are so powerful when you hold and transmit the Diamond Light.  You create a Quantum Energy Field that is of such high frequency that it impacts and changes the energy field around you.  You don’t have to do anything, other than ensure that you hold this frequency in your Heart and Light Body.  Through a process of simple resonance, you will lift the energy field around you.

But, it will be necessary this coming year, to also remember that even as a single person you can also shift your environment through intention, focus and effort.  Your environment is a reflection of you, and is created by you.  If you feel that your environment is chaotic and low frequency, then work to change it where you can.  Create order and harmony and the frequency of Beauty. Yes, this will require focus and effort and energy, but this is how you create Sacred Space.

Begin with a small area, maybe create an altar.  Then perhaps create a single room that is Sacred Space.  And then maybe create your entire living area as Sacred Space.  As you do this you are signaling to the Earth and to others that you are ready to transform your environment, your community and the Earth itself into Sacred Space.

In the course of this New Time Cycle, many of you will come together with Soul Family and Soul Groups to gather to do meditations and Sacred ceremonies that will generate the energy for the re-establishment of Sacred Earth Consciousness in your World.

What was lost will be found and re-established.  The Consciousness of Sacred Earth will start with you, with your groups and communities, and with the Sacred work and Ceremonies that you do.

Let 2017 be the time when you “light up” your Diamond Energy Signature and gather in groups to perform Sacred Ceremonies and create Sacred Space.  The Earth is ready to anchor these new energies in her own Journey back to Sacred Space.

Sacred Authentic Self : Who Am I in this New Cycle

Many of you have lived with a feeling recently that you no longer “belong” in this place, and that you are tired or bored with life in the old 3D type matrix.  Well now is the time to accept the challenge of the New and begin to create a life that truly expresses who you are in an authentic way.

In order to do this, Beloved Ones, you will need to know yourself, and to know who you are on a very deep level.

Who are you….outside of the economic matrix of socialization and work?  Are you simply a “unit” who works, lives and procreates, or is there a deeper and more soul-based meaning to your life on Earth?  Do you have a “Soul Mission” and if so, what would it be?

Do you remember that you are a Galactic Being, a Being of Light and Energy and that the Stars are your home?  Do you remember that you chose to come here, and that you had a purpose for wanting to be here on the Earth at this time?

Each living being that incarnates on the Earth comes with a desire to grow, to evolve and to express their Soul Energy or “Soul Signature” in a new way.  But, Beloved Ones, in order to connect with what that would be, it requires that you “lift the veil” so to speak, and connect with the creative energy of your Soul.

Here you will find that you are a Being of Light and Spirit, and that you are infinite.  You will find that your “essence” is Light, Compassion and Creativity, and that your desire in this incarnation is to thrive, experience abundance and to create according to the template for manifestation of your Soul.

To reach this place of pure Creative Essence, is to “know yourself” and to be able to express your authentic soul essence. No matter what happens “out there” in the lower frequencies of experience, you will remain anchored and centered in your own Higher Consciousness of Love, Compassion and Peace.

You will understand that you are “Sacred Space” incarnate in a Human Body, and you can draw on that Sacred Energy to live in Divine Grace.  We would define Divine Grace as a deep sense of Connection with the Divine Heart and a sense of continual and continuous well being.  Knowing that You are Love and that You are Loved at all times!

So, Beloved Ones, as you enter into 2017 and this New Beginning, we wish you all Creative Joy, Abundant Manifestation and Diamond Light on your Sacred Path on the Sacred Earth.

2017 at a Glance

2017 at a Glance

As I look deep into the very lengthy hallways of 2017 my heart quickens with both anticipation and caution. The doorways of 2017 are great and full of expectations. Like a very immense Egyptian God of old, our human door of expectation is so much smaller in comparison to what 2017 asks of us. We all stand side-by-side, antechamber to vestibule, arm in arm. We think about the panorama of 2016 that showed our weakness and shadow in ‘fool Technicolor’. All that we could have been laced with all that we once were, and divided by all that we are destined to be.  This powerful year comes in full regalia and ceremony to give us our new year’s orders.

2017 will unfold its beautiful wings, into a year of enchantment, 365 days filled with adventure, and unexpected inexplicable serendipitous overlays, disguised as every day events.  Like all ‘new’ years, 2017 is a living breathing entity, a life form birthed from Source. Every ‘New’ Year is actually a living radiance that has wrapped itself around earth’s hologram of dates and times, wants and needs. Every year has a different taste, a different truth, a different memory attached and a different teaching.

This year will bring Earth into a place circumventing its self, creating an invisible Fibonacci bridge to the future. Like a merry-go- round humanity will pick which water colored horse it will ride. The sky and Earth will be unveiled and filled with celestial messages. Eyes will be forced opened, as all see what unfurls its many wings into a pattern of new flight.  Everything that scientists once knew as solid truth will now be discharged, like a student in the vice principal’s office on the first day of school. Ancient Stellar truths demonstrate themselves newsworthy without any scientific voice or proof. All is heard loud and clear, in the halls of records, as molecules shift; beliefs turn upside down, life is hardened by old sticky truths.

2017 will ask you to move through the nuances, the hidden levels, and instructions of what is invisible to the human spectrum, like a stealth warrior in the dark of night. Gathering much data, this Light seeks to know itself as a parent that has been absent for eons of time.  Without expectations, without anchors, without regrets or even questions, a smoothness of alignment occurs. Like two oceans from opposite poles, meeting each other for the first time, blending swirling, becoming one again. In this time of extreme precision and acute mirroring of every thought, one is able to create a fine mix of compromise laced with compassion.

2017 moves the awareness into a Holy Sector of the human biology. It is in this place of filled emptiness that many will find exactly what and who pulls the strings of so many lights. In the plethora everything is turning and swirling, dying and birthing itself simultaneously, nothing is stagnant, nothing is still, all is constantly in movement, as it should be!

It is this place of Holiness that humanity will enter in 2017.The many Mansions of what is divinely holy will reign as each creates their own mysterium. Time shifts in accordance with its own needs not looking at the little human picture.  Completion of person plan and plot occurred last year. Leaving an empty spot, that is open for creation.  A holy place that is yours to decorate with wishes come true and dreams made manifest. After the completion of 999, all that once was changed clothes in the see-saw dressing room of the cosmos. The roles have shifted, the eyes have opened. People look in the mirror and do not recognize their reflection. Blueprints of old have been disposed of and DNA placed away for safekeeping.

Pagan Crafting for Tuesday, January 10th – Lavender Bath Treatment

Black Cats - My entry #4Lavender Bath Treatment

Lavender essential oil is reassuring, soporific, and is often their first choice of aromatherapists for treating emotional or mental stress. It also reduces muscular pain, whether from illness or physical exertion, and soothes the skin. I can’t think of a more perfect herb for a relaxing bath.

Ingredients for a lavender bath treatment:

4 cups epsom salts
2 cups Sea salt
1 cup non fat powdered milk
2 cups oatmeal ground to a very fine powder in a food processor or
coffee grinder-use the old fashioned kind
40 drops of lavender essential oil

Mix together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, sieve if you wish, then add the lavender 10 drops at a time, thoroughly mix it through. Do this 4 times, so that the lavender essential oil is distributed.

I then put the mix in glass jars and put a pretty sticker on the jar with all the ingredients and the date when I made it.

 

The Witches Spell-A-Day for Tuesday, January 10th – Happy and Prosperous

Magic Cat ::: Magie der Katze
The Witches Spell-A-Day for Tuesday, January 10th – Happy and Prosperous

Invoke Ebisu, the jolly Japanese god of commerce. Plan for a financially sound year by setting a simple budget. Make a spreadsheet to track the coming twelve months. Under “Expenses,” list all of your regular expenses, including utilities, housing, food, insurance, transportation, medical, dental, entertainment, and recreation. Under “Income,” list all sources of money that flows to you, such as wages, trust funds, child support, disability allowance, and government support payments.

Knowledge is power, and knowing exactly what you earn and spend will give you the power to manage your finances wisely. Place the budget on your altar with a coin, an offering to Evisu, and say:

Bless me, Ebisu, you happb, prosperous God.
May I have sufficient resources to cover my expenses.
May I be happy. May I earn more than I spend.

Review your budget monthly adding current data.

Let’s Talk Witch – Finding Where You Fit In

Halloween Black Cats
Let’s Talk Witch – Finding Where You Fit In

Everyone wants to fit in, that is no secret. You want to feel like you are a part of something special, and it is the same with this religion. Just as there are several different sanctions of Catholicism and Christianity, there are many different branches of Wicca as well. In fact, it seems that the Wiccan religion is more flexible than even Christianity because Wiccans can make their own groups based on their belief system. Find your Wiccan community, and if you don’t feel like you fit in, just go on your own way, and be a lone wolf. There are a lot of lone wolf Wiccans.

Covens
This is one of the best known types of Wiccan groups. Think of it like the country club for Wiccans. This is a large group of Wiccans that schedule regular meetings, and they often have club dues. Along with having dues, they often have a lot of rules and regulations that you don’t see in a less strict group of Wiccans, but that is because they want their coven to stay on the straight and narrow, and when you have too many witches in one group, then you could have some serious issues if one of them go rogue. You as a part of the coven could get taken down with the rogue. So covens have to be kind of strict to keep things organized.

Covens are also great for beginners because there are rules. It may feel confining to not be able to find your style in the beginning, but you could grow to appreciate having so much help as you are learning. With covens, it is an all hands on deck deal. If one member is not up to par, all members of the coven pitch in to help the weak link. However, within a reasonable amount of time, there are possibilities you may get kicked out if you are in a pretentious coven. It is for the best if you are kicked out of a coven like that. A coven based on pretenses is one that has the most risk of turning to dark magic.

If you feel like a coven could be a good fit for you, you can go online to find one that is near you. There are a lot of online forums for Wiccan covens. This is often how they find new members in their area. If you are interested in it, try it for yourself.

Circles
A circle is a little different than a coven. The main difference is the size. A circle is always five people no matter what. One person for each element. The best part about this is, you can build your own circle pretty easily if you know four other Wiccans. Circles have rules and regulations like a coven, but they are often less strict due to the fact that they do not have the sheer volume that covens have.

Circles are a great way to establish rituals, and learning how to cast spells. If you do not feel like starting your own circle, you can look to see if there is a circle that is needing a new member online. Circles are great because you have people who can help you get to their level, and you don’t have to worry about pretentiousness. You also don’t have to worry about information overload, because there are a lot fewer people who are helping you.
When you are a part of a circle, it can be a great bonding experience as well. Since you don’t have to pay dues to be in a circle, you find yourself making true bonds with the people you are working with. In a coven you are making forced bonds because you paid your money to be there, and you have to drag your butt there at least once a month. More if there is a celebration that month.

With a circle, you don’t have to meet a certain amount of times if you choose not to. Most circles only meet when there is a need, or they feel they need to practice a spell. Needs could be a pollution problem in the area, and needing to cast a protection spell on the trees and the earth. Or it could be a drought, and you need to beg to Mother Goddess to please bring rain. These are some of the needs that circles meet for.

If one of you finds a spell that you think is useful, you may meet several days in a row to practice it until you have it down.

Circles also meet for celebrations, but rather than a whole ordeal where an Elder gets up and speaks about how you should thank the great goddess and horned god that you are able to gather with your brothers and sisters in this time of power and all the other things that Elders drone on about, you can actually be out there using your power. This is one of the best perks of being a part of a circle.

If you feel like you might fit in with a circle, you can either start your own or look for one in your area looking for a new member. You never know, you might find the place that you belong.

Eclectic
This is a group of Wiccans who really don’t have a lot of rules, and are all at multiple different levels. It is great if you do not want to be pressured into having to become great in a short period of time, but the lack of rules and structure can cause a lot of rogues if you are not careful.
Eclectic groups are made up of a lot of different Wiccans, of all different ages. This makes it the most different from covens and circles because with circles, it is generally people around the same age, and with covens, there are groups of ages. And by a certain age, you are expected to be at a certain level. With an eclectic group, you may find a twenty-one-year-old at a level seven, and a forty-year-old at a level two. There is no limit for what level you have to be at what age. You just have to be willing to put in the time, and the effort to become the best you can be. Electic groups are also a little out there when it comes to beliefs. They are like the hippies of the Wiccan world. They have some radical ideas that could change the world, but they are often looked down upon by “civilized” groups such as covens or circles. Because eclectic groups are so different, there is not a lot of information on what they do, but if you want to find out what they do, you could look online for an eclectic forum and learn more about if there is a group in your area taking members

Solitary

Some Wiccans choose to learn the ropes by themselves, rather than let someone else take the reins. This is because they do not want to be steered in the wrong direction due to choosing the wrong group, or because they are just more comfortable being alone.
If you choose to be alone, you have to be good at self-motivating. However, it is a lot easier to learn at your own pace and you don’t have to search for a group.

On January 10th, We Celebrate…

 BLACK CATS ARE BEAUTIFUL...by Piedad5007On January 10th, We Celebrate….

League of Nations Day (United States)
IRENE

Themes: Peace; Cooperation, Reconciliation

Symbols: A Peace Sign; White; Gates and Entryways

About Jrene: Look to this Greek goddess of peace to get the year off harmoniously with your neighbor and with all those you meet. Irene is Zeus’s daughter and one of three Horae who together preside over matters of peace, order, and justice. They guarded the gates of Mount Olympus to ensure that all who passed had good-intentioned hearts. Offerings to Irene were always bloodless, in honor of her amicable energy.

To Do Today: In 1920, the League of Nations was founded on this date to encourage harmony between nations. To commemorate this and honor Irene, extend the hand of truce to someone with whom you’ve been bickering. Let the energy of this day pour through you to begin healing that situation. Peace is something that really begins in our own backyards.

To generate harmony at home and in your heart, make this simple Irene charm. On a piece of white paper draw a peace sign. Fold this three times, saying,

Order—never cease, justice—release,
let there be peace.

Put this somewhere safe in your home so Irene’s gentle warmth can fill your words and actions all year. Better still, make two charms and carry one with you to keep the peace in all your interactions! Wear a white piece of clothing today as a reminder to approach life with peaceful intentions, words, and actions.

Today Is: Tuesday, January 10th

Black Cats Are BeautifulToday Is: Tuesday, January 10th

The day of Mars…also Ares, Tiwaz, Tiw (from whom it is named), Tuisco, and Tyr. Tuesday is ruled by Mars, whose Magickal influences are: Passion, courage, aggression, and protection. Tuesday comes under the influence of Mars, the planet associated with vitality, passion, ambition, and raw, unabashed power. Mars energy makes the mind acute, and the body restless; therefore, on Tuesday we are likely to exert ourselves physically and take action to achieve goals. This day is dynamic and high-spirited, and the prevailing energies may include carelessness and destructiveness as well, so it is good to be cautious—especially while traveling. Tuesday is the proper day of the week to perform rituals involving courage, physical strength, revenge, surgery, and the breaking of negative spells.
