Wednesday Wisdom Seeds: Sending light

Wednesday Wisdom Seeds: Sending light

Dana Mrkich
a message from Dana Mrkich
To read more of Dana’s insight, please visit her website, www.danamrkick.com

We often hear people ask, well if the planet has more light than ever right now, and if this light is supposedly increasing, why all the craziness?

Light amplifies everything. Light shines a torch on everything inside us and outside us. So we can see our sabotaging beliefs more clearly, and we can feel our potential in a greater way. We see the crap and corruption going on around the world with more transparency, and we are more aware of alternatives and solutions.

So this brings up a question. If Light amplifies everything, then what is the best thing to do when thinking of a crisis area or a location that is about to be affected by a storm? A lot of people say ‘send light’ but if light amplifies then sending ‘light’ can potentially increase the chaos. Sending light to someone with some major issues, without also sending in a therapist, could heighten their unresolved anger without providing a healthy outlet for the expression of that anger.

This brings up another question – is then light different to consciousness and awareness? Can a person be exposed to ‘light’, which is energy of a certain vibration, but their level of consciousness determines how that light is received by them, physically and emotionally?

So on this topic of energy regarding people and situations, is sending love then a better option? Or sending a general prayer for best possible outcome? Or do you prefer to just mind your own energy as it were, and know that simply doing that will affect the whole in the best possible way?

What are your thoughts on all this?

Magickal Days of the Week – Wednesday

winter animal
Magickal Days of the Week – Wednesday

Wednesday is named for Woden himself, although the Romans called it dies Mercurii. This is a day associated with the color purple, the planet Mercury, and the metal quicksilver – which is also called mercury. See a pattern here?

When it comes to deities… yes, Mercury! However, there are a few other gods associated with Wednesday, including Odin and Hermes, Athena, and Lugh. Gemstones like adventurine and agate come in handy as well, as do plants such as aspen trees, lilies, lavender and even ferns.

Business and job-related issues, communication, loss and debt, traveling, and journeys are all tied in to Wednesday. This is a good day to do a working to open up lines of communication – especially if your own actions are preventing you from being an effective speaker or listener. Go someplace new or return to an old favorite stomping ground, step up your game, and settle up your accounts.

Wednesday Witchery

Be bold and daring today! Expand your knowledge of the Craft by working with the planetary energies of Mercury on this multifaceted day of the week. Consider the Greco-Roman gods Mercury and Hermes and all of the many lessons they have for you. Embrace change and movement, and work on your communication techniques. Conjure up a little good luck for yourself with that Mercury dime spell. Call on Athena to inspire you to try magickal arts and crafts and to be more creative in your own spellwork and witchery.

Meditate on Odin and see what you can discover about him. I wonder what sort of fabulous and fascinating magickal wisdom you will uncover? Odin is a shaman, after all; he may appear in many guises and faces. I guarantee that he will make you laugh at yourself before he is through with you, but you will learn. It’s up to you what you do with that knowledge. Will you let it shapeshift into wisdom?

Wednesday is the wild and wily day of the week, so try to go with the flow; don’t fight the quirky energies of the day. Most importantly, follow your heart, and always keep a good sense of humor, because of Wednesdays you will really need it.

WiNtER ChAlLeNgE

Odin – the Norse god
Wednesday between Tuesday and Thursday and is named after Germanic god Wodan and Odin, the Norse all father of the gods.

Naming Wednesday
The English, the word Wednesday is derived from Old English and literally means “Wodan’s day”. The Germanic god Wodan is also known as Odin, the Norse all father of the gods.

In most languages with Latin origins, the day is named after the god and planet Mercury.

Middle English – wodnesday or wednesday or wednesdai

Old English – wōdnesdæg – Woden’s day

Latin – dies Mercurii – “Day of Mercury”

Ancient Greek – hemera Hermu – “day of Hermes”

Third day of the Week
Wednesday is the third day of the week according to the international standard ISO 8601, but in the US, Canada, and Japan it’s counted as the fourth day if the week.

Did You Know This Is A Leap Year?

Rotwild im Winter
Leap Day: February 29, 2016

A Leap Day, February 29, is added to the calendar during leap years. This extra day makes the year 366 days long – not 365 days, like a common year.

On February 29th, women can ask a man to marry her.

Role reversal on leap day.

When Is the Next Leap Day?
2016 is a leap year, so the next leap day is February 29, 2016.

The last Leap Day was on February 29, 2012.

Why Add a Leap Day?
Leap days are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth’s revolutions around the Sun.
It takes the Earth approximately 365.242189 days – or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds – to circle once around the Sun. This called a tropical year.

Without an extra – or intercalary – day on February 29 nearly every four years, we would lose almost six hours every year. After only 100 years, our calendar would be off by approximately 24 days in relation to fixed seasonal days days like the vernal equinox or winter solstice.

Caesar Introduced Leap Years
Roman general Julius Caesar implemented the first leap day in his Julian Calendar, which he introduced in 45 BCE (Before Common Era). A leap day was added every four years. At the time, leap day was February 24, and February was the last month of the year.

Too Many Leap Years
However, adding a leap day every four years was too often and eventually, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian Calendar. This calendar, which we still use today, has a more precise formula for calculating of leap years, also known as bissextile years.

USA 1752: Why Are Some Days Missing?

Traditions & Folklore

Leap day as a concept has existed for more than 2000 years, and is still associated with age-old customs, folklore and superstition. One of the most well-known traditions is that women propose to their boyfriends, instead of the other way around.

What’s a Leap Second?

Leap Months

The ancient Roman Calendar added an extra month every few years to maintain the correct seasonal changes, similar to the Chinese leap month.

May The Goddess Bless You & Yours On This Glorious Wednesday Morn’!

Frau mit Wolf im Winter

Ode to the Goddess

Who is the Goddess?
Who is she to me?
All the women I love,
My Mother, Me! All of us Goddesses,
Goddesses all!
She comes to us all
We must only call
In childhood laughter
In children’s games
She is the one with a
thousand names. Isis,
Astarte, Demeter, and more,
She is Gaia, the earth’s very core
She sings in the breeze
And the leaves on the trees
She is the keeper of birds and of
bees
The Goddess is part of all of us
you see
She’s in everybody, I feel her
in me!

Astronomy Picture of the Day – The Rise and Fall of Supernova 2015F

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2016 February 9

The Rise and Fall of Supernova 2015F
Video Credit & Copyright: Changsu Choi & Myungshin Im (Seoul National University)

Explanation: Sit back and watch a star explode. The actual supernova occurred back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, but images of the spectacular event began arriving last year. Supernova 2015F was discovered in nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2442 by Berto Monard in 2015 March and was unusually bright — enough to be seen with only a small telescope. The pattern of brightness variation indicated a Type Ia supernova — a type of stellar explosion that results when an Earth-size white dwarf gains so much mass that its core crosses the threshold of nuclear fusion, possibly caused by a lower mass white-dwarf companion spiraling into it. Finding and tracking Type Ia supernovae are particularly important because their intrinsic brightness can be calibrated, making their apparent brightness a good measure of their distance — and hence useful toward calibrating the distance scale of the entire universe. The featured video tracked the stellar disruption from before explosion images arrived, as it brightened, and for several months as the fission-powered supernova glow faded. The remnants of SN2015F are now too dim to see without a large telescope. Just yesterday, however, the night sky lit up once again, this time with an even brighter supernova in an even closer galaxy: Centaurus A.

Earth Sky News for February 9th : Go young moon hunting on February 9

Go young moon hunting on February 9

Tonight, look for the young moon. The February, 2016, new moon came to pass on February 8 at 14:39 Universal Time. For us in the United States, that translates to February 8 at 9:39 a.m. EST, 8:39 a.m. CST, 7:39 a.m. MST and 6:39 a.m. PST. So as the sun sets on February 9, the moon will be well over one day old.

Given an unobstructed horizon in the direction of sunset, and a clear sky, the thin waxing crescent moon will appear low in the sky and close to the horizon around one hour (or sooner) after sunset. Because the view is sometimes murky near the horizon, binoculars may come in handy for sweeping for the February 9 young moon near the sunset horizon.

At comparable latitudes in the world’s Eastern Hemisphere – Europe, Africa and Asia – the young moon will exhibit a thinner crescent hovering closer to the horizon. Click here to find out the time of moonset in your sky.

On the average, the moon moves some 13o eastward per day in front of the backdrop stars of the Zodiac.

Meanwhile, as seen from Earth, the sun appears to move one degree eastward per day along the ecliptic. In other words, the moon moves an average 12o east of the sun daily.

For reference, the angular diameter of the sun and moon span about one-half degree of sky.

If you miss the young moon on February 9, try again on February 10 or 11. Day by day, the moon will move farther east of the setting sun, to appear higher in the west after the sun goes down.

By the way, the new moon on February 8 passed to the north of the sun; but one month from now, the moon will swing directly in front of the sun, to stage a total solar eclipse in Indonesia on March 9, 2016.

Bottom line: Given an unobstructed horizon in the direction of sunset, and a clear sky, the thin waxing crescent moon should appear low in the sky and close to the horizon around one hour (or less) after sunset.

Get a Jump on Tomorrow….
Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, February 10th

by Rick Levine

 

General Horoscope

Although sexy Venus is emotionally reserved while traveling through Capricorn, her auspicious trine to bountiful Jupiter graces us with pleasurable experiences. Meanwhile, an overindulgent Sun-Jupiter alignment lures us past our limits. Although four planets in practical earth signs encourage common sense over passion, pursuing our desires will likely bring satisfaction now. However, the imaginative Pisces Moon makes our dreams sweeter than reality.

Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19

Remaining upbeat about your contributions is helpful as you move toward your destination, whether you’re making plans to achieve a professional goal or striving to be noticed within your community. Luckily, you may receive assistance from an important ally now that friendly Venus is visiting your 10th House of Public Status. Do your best work without looking back, but be sure to ask for the credit you deserve. Although tangible results will still take a few days to manifest, you could be happily surprised with the outcome if you believe in yourself.

Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20

It’s always quite rewarding to be appreciated for who you are. Today may be exceptionally sweet because you’re likely to receive an abundance of positive energy from the buoyant Venus-Jupiter trine. However, it isn’t appropriate to overwhelm people with your exuberance, especially at work. A small touch of self-restraint can help you win the admiration and respect of everyone you encounter. Relax and soak up the good vibes; the finish line is not as close as you think.

Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20

You’re clear about what you want out of a relationship now, especially if you have already been working to redefine your needs. The time is now ripe to make something special happen, and you could blow your chance if you wait too long. Maintain a positive attitude while sharing your feelings, even if you’re unsure about where the conversation will lead. But don’t allow the present moment to pass without following your heart. No risk; no reward.

Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22

You may be emerging from a very trying period, yet you’re still able to overcome any disappointment and rationalize what you want. However, delicious feelings are bubbling up from your subconscious now and tempting you to set aside your newly found emotionally detached objectivity. Stick to the facts as you know them and keep your eyes on the current opportunities because this energetic wave should ultimately bring about a positive transformation.

Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22

You might feel like a lazy lion with a stack of excuses to justify your unproductive nature. Nevertheless, you still harbor dreams of being highly successful at your career. Cheerful Jupiter is expanding your 2nd House of Income, and his trine to resourceful Venus in your 6th House of Work resonates with your ambitious plans to accomplish a lot today. Thankfully, you don’t have to prove anything to anyone at all. You deserve a bit of downtime now, so grab it while you have the chance.

Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22

You could wake up in a positive mood, willing to patiently go along with whatever happens today. You realize you’re okay waiting for satisfaction because of the limited potential pleasures that are currently available to you. Even if you try to fight against the changes, your resistance fades quickly once you sink beneath your noisy thoughts and into the less familiar non-verbal world of emotions. Ultimately, your feelings will steer you in the right direction now if you let them.

Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22

It feels as if your boundaries are paper thin today, prompting you to withdraw into the world of your feelings so that you don’t have to deal with anyone’s judgement. You really don’t want to waste energy rationalizing what’s in your heart. The positive signals coming from your subconscious are integrally connected with your truth. Your negativity is the biggest thing standing between you and your success. Jump in and follow your instincts before you change your mind.

Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21

It is in your best interest to temporarily set aside your personal pursuits so you can concentrate on selfless acts of generosity now. But don’t spoil the moment by asking what’s in it for you. If you really need to know the answer, you’re entirely missing the point. Ultimately, if you focus on exhibiting the highest expression of love, the emotional rewards will circle back and touch your heart in ways you would never expect.

Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21

You might bury your anger because you don’t want it to interfere with the lovely energy that’s floating through your environment today. Thankfully, it may seem as if everything you touch turns to gold as magnifying Jupiter harmonizes with valuable Venus in your 2nd House of Money. But acquiring riches isn’t your key to happiness. Your willingness to work in service to others is the priceless gift that brings you true spiritual satisfaction.

Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19

Unfortunately, you can’t hide from your responsibilities today just because good times are calling your name. Thankfully, you can still enjoy yourself by expressing your creative urges within a practical project. The good news is that gracious Venus harmoniously trines joyous Jupiter in your 9th House of Big Ideas, encouraging you to play new games. Adventure awaits if you’re conscientious enough to meet your obligations before leaving work behind.

Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18

Your feelings are so raw now that you don’t know how to say what you’re thinking without upsetting others. However, maintaining silence isn’t a smart strategy either, since suppressed emotions will find a way to blast their messages to the surface sooner or later. In fact, the longer you pretend everything is fine, the more likely you are to strike out at the wrong target. Fearlessly expressing love transforms obstacles into meaningful learning experiences.

Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20

You’re a bit too eager to please others now with accommodating Venus hard at work in your 11th House of Social Networking. Jolly Jupiter’s current magnanimity makes it easy for you to be a wonderful friend, but you must be cautious about only acknowledging the good news. The power of positive thinking is contagious, but you could take your optimism too far today. Obsessing on potentially negative outcomes isn’t useful, but neither is burying your head in the sand. Work within the constraints of reality for the best results.

2016 Year of the Monkey Love Horoscopes

 

 

 

 

 

2016 Year of the Monkey Love Horoscopes

Adventure and play rule in this year of fun love!

By Stephanie Dempsey, Videos, Love, Horoscopes, Chinese, Astrology, 2016

 

The Year of the Red Fire Monkey brings different gifts of love to each Chinese sign. Read your horoscope here to see what your sign can expect in 2016!

Rat Love Horoscope

The instinctive Rat has a marvelous opportunity to secure the affections of someone special this year. The Year of the Red Fire Monkey’s passionate energy resonates well with your affectionate nature. Single Rats can find love at museums, concerts, and movie theatres, while those who have partners might feel as though you’ve embarked on a second honeymoon. Thanks to the inventive spirit of the Monkey Year, it’s easy to have sensual desires fulfilled. All Rats should be open to learning new lovemaking techniques now.

Ox Love Horoscope

The Year of the Red Fire Monkey invites the stubborn Ox to be more flexible in love. Instead of trying to convert your romantic partner, show respect for your mate’s beliefs. Working as a team will strengthen romantic ties, since Monkey Years shower rewards on collaborative efforts. Single Oxen have good prospects for finding love this year, especially if you venture out of familiar territory. Travel can also put you on the path to romance in 2016, since this is a year of adventure.

Tiger Love Horoscope

Single Tigers will have great fortune in love, thanks to the outgoing energy associated with Monkey years. You’ll have no trouble meeting someone special at a party, sporting event, or family celebration. Although it’s not an especially good year for the Tiger to get married, 2016 is a wonderful time to fall in love. If you’re already in a committed relationship, resist the temptation to flirt with others. Deferring to a partner can bring welcome balance to established relationships.

Rabbit Love Horoscope

The sensitive Rabbit may feel snubbed in love during the Year of the Red Fire Monkey. People have a tendency to move quickly and speak thoughtlessly under this active influence. For Rabbits in committed relationships, this can result in hurt feelings. Developing a more playful attitude toward love can be tremendously helpful for this timid sign. Single Rabbits who want love should be more outgoing. Learning to flirt and be more aggressive in love will be a great use of the Monkey Year’s irreverent energy.

Dragon Love Horoscope

The decisive Dragon who wants to find love will surely realize their goal in the Year of the Red Fire Monkey. Meeting someone special at a party, professional gathering, or book club is a strong possibility for you. Getting engaged or married is also highly favored for Dragons in 2016. Those that are in committed relationships will receive plenty of tender loving care from your partners. It’s a great year to conceive or adopt a child for Dragons, too. Monkey years bestow youthful energy on you.

Snake Love Horoscope

Sultry Snakes will be in a hurry to find love in the Year of the Red Fire Monkey. The passionate energy of this year may prompt single Snakes to rush into relationships. 2016 isn’t a good time for you to get married, as it tends to trigger hasty decisions. Focus on having fun instead. Snakes that are in committed relationships may be tempted to stray from their partners. Spending more quality time together and being more attentive to each other’s needs is critical in restless Monkey years.

Horse Love Horoscope

Love won’t come automatically to the easygoing Horse in 2016. The Year of the Red Fire Monkey demands that you go out and seek romance. Making an intellectual connection with a love interest is essential. Monkey years place great emphasis on intelligence, so hold out for a partner that is both smart and good-looking. If you’re in committed relationship, make more of an effort to wine and dine your partner. Taking a mate for granted will be disastrous in a restless Monkey year.

Sheep Love Horoscope

The pessimistic Sheep has reason to look on the bright side during the Year of the Red Fire Monkey. Love will flow easily to single Sheep. The best way for to meet someone special this year is through online dating and social networking. But if you’re in a committed partnership, avoid dwelling on the past. Monkey years reward those who live in the moment. Taking a romantic vacation can strengthen a relationship that has grown predictable. Vow to fall in love all over again.

Monkey Love Horoscope

The enthusiastic Monkey should have no trouble finding love in the Year of the Red Fire Monkey. Fueled by the passionate energy of 2016, single Monkeys will be even more determined to win hearts this year. Cultural events can put you on the path of love; an attractive mate can be found while attending a movie, concert, or gallery opening. Monkeys that are in committed partnerships should make exciting plans with your mate. The optimistic energy of 2016 will help you recommit to a lifetime of love.
