Wan 4
Symbol: Lute
The Lute tile indicates a need for relaxation—a break from the stress of your everyday life. For people nearing the end of their career it may suggest that the time for them to retire has come.

Your Animal Spirit for Today
February 11, 2016 

Owl

Many cultures associate Owl with death, while others see Owl as the “night eagle”—the bird that embodies shamanism. Owl has exceptional hearing, and his medicine is one of clairaudience—the ability to hear spirit. If Owl has silently glided into your life today, he is asking you to face your own fears, and listen to the messages spirit is sending you.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Golden Egg

The Golden Egg denotes the opportunity for substantial material gains. However, the Golden Egg is also a reminder that unmanaged greed ensures what gains are made will be lost.

As a daily card, The Golden Egg suggest that the prospects for you to increase your financial wealth are very strong today. Seize whatever opportunities come your way, but don’t ride them too long or you may find yourself no better off than you were before they came along.

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

The Hermit

The Hermit denotes a need to have some space between you and everyday hustle and bustle of our busy world. The Hermit needs to retreat. Indeed, happiness for The Hermit requires seclusion, freedom from material wants, and time for intense introspection. The answers The Hermit needs cannot be found in our physical world. The truths he seeks are internal, spiritual, and the distraction of a well developed social life can only impede his quest for his personal truths. Still, although not anything remotely resembling extroversion, The Hermit does sometimes need to share time with others; so he can learn or teach, guide and be guided. The Hermit’s time spent amongst people depletes his energy rapidly. To avoid an overload he has to retreat from social settings quickly.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, February 11th

Aries

The Moon’s move into your sign early today is energizing on an emotional level, dear Aries. Your creative and enterprising impulses come to the foreground now. Your mood is strong, as you’re especially in touch with your feelings, but given to fluctuations. You could feel driven to pursue a goal or dream, although you could miscalculate some details. Avoid trying to bring others on board just for now, as it may only frustrate you – others seem to be in their own dream worlds. Focus on those things that make you happy.

Taurus

Early today, the Moon moves into your privacy sector, dear Taurus, where she will visit until early Saturday. This brief transit stimulates a need for less stimulation! You are in need of some emotional refreshment. With Venus, your ruler, and dreamy Neptune forming a minor challenging aspect, this is in fact an important time for some form of healthy escape. You’re not in the most practical frame of mind. Plans are not going to move forward at lightning speed right now, and that suits you just fine for the time being. Your imagination and private world can be especially appealing now.

Gemini

The Moon moves into your social sector early today, dear Gemini, where she will stay until early Saturday. This brief transit inspires you to reach out to others. Decisions about or with friends can be made quickly today. You could also find inspiration for a new project today. Inspired can turn to tired later today, however, as a bit of doubt or confusion tends to set in. This shouldn’t do anything important except to slow you down a little, which you may very well need. Let your mind go if you’re able to tonight.

Cancer

The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart early today, dear Cancer, and this tends to turn your attention to long-term goals and responsibilities. While it’s a fine time to look at these things in a new way, it’s not the best time for setting anything in stone. Your imagination can get a little wild later today. As long as it takes you to positive places, then you’ll be in fine shape. You are especially sensitive to what’s going on around you and to others’ reactions. It might be difficult to turn off your runaway thinking, but it would be a good idea to give your brain a rest. Sometimes you simply don’t need to know. Aim to go with the flow and enjoy a timeout.

Leo

With the Moon’s move into your spirit sector early today, dear Leo, where it will stay until early Saturday, you’re more inclined to want to take action than simply to observe. You’re a little more spontaneous and impulsive than you have been in recent days. Later today, there can be a real desire to focus, but part of you is also looking for an escape. There could be a false lead in your work or research. Take a deep breath and recognize that you may simply need to unwind and let your imagination go before returning to goal-chasing.

Virgo

You are more sensitive to power and its use in your relationships today, dear Virgo, particularly if you feel it’s out of balance. You’re also inclined to observe different layers of any given situation. If you’ve been concerned about your finances, and particularly debts, this can be a time when you’re inclined to want to do something about it. However, you may want to think about changes you’d like to make rather than pursue any definite plan just yet, as emotion tends to win over reason at the moment. Let your imagination take you to a healthier place tonight.

Libra

The Moon moves into your opposing sign early today, dear Libra, and focus is on coming to some level of balance and harmony in your life. While your aim is to see eye to eye with others, as much as you try, a lack of synchronicity right now can interfere. It’s minor, and nothing that patience won’t fix. Be gentle with others and don’t expect too much from yourself later today, as your system is a little more sensitive than usual. Your defenses are not as strong as usual which makes you susceptible to vague physical and emotional complaints. Take the time to make yourself especially clear if you have something important to say.

Scorpio

From early today until early Saturday, dear Scorpio, the Moon is transiting your work and health sector. This is a brief but important cycle for getting your life into order by making minor adjustments and edits. You may be focusing on improving order, particularly in your daily affairs and routines. There can be a growing desire to be anywhere else than where you are later today, however, or you may need to find a way to escape. Sensitivity in your communications will be especially important now, although you may very well prefer to keep to yourself for the time being. Instead of battling it, let your imagination flow.

Sagittarius

Starting early today, dear Sagittarius, you’re more inclined to break out of your shell and enjoy yourself rather than stick to your regular routines. There is a creative flow to much of the day that is gently energizing. Your mind can wander later today, however, and it can be hard to focus on practical tasks. Keep in mind that misunderstandings are likely right now, simply because people are having a hard time expressing themselves effectively just for the time being. Relations with family might be confusing temporarily. This may be a better time to enjoy some creative fun.

Capricorn

The Moon moves into your solar family and home sector early today, dear Capricorn, where it will be a guest until early Saturday. This points to a more domestic emotional orientation, whether you’re inclined to stick around home more often, or to be a little more cautious and traditional in your approach to the world for these couple of days. Either way, it’s a time for centering yourself emotionally. Tonight’s Venus-Neptune challenge is minor, inclining you to entertain fantasies rather than consider realities. While you should watch that you don’t lock yourself into something important, it’s a fine time to let your imagination go.

Aquarius

The Moon moves into your solar communications sector early today, dear Aquarius, and life becomes busy, or at least you are more inclined to seek out mental stimulation. This is not an especially focused time, but it’s a fine day for learning a variety of different things. A Venus-Neptune challenging aspect coming into orb towards the end of the day tends to incline you to dream and reminisce, making it a good time to unwind, but not necessarily strong for clarity, particularly surrounding money and personal possessions.

Pisces

The Moon moves out of your sign early today, dear Pisces, and this tends to turn your attention to practical affairs. Even so, this is not the best time for attention to details – it’s better for drawing on your intuition and imagination and how these can apply to business and money matters. There may be a disconnect or confusing situation with a friend today. You may feel that you’re being leaned on a little too heavily. Be sure you take care of your own needs and goals as well.

Seducing the Zodiac

Get sexy Astrology tips to seduce every sign

By Stephanie Dempsey, Zodiac, Love, Astrology

Want to drive your lover wild and make ’em yours forever? All you needs is a few sexy tips tailored to the object of your desire’s zodiac sign.These magic moves work for established relationships, too. Be sure to read your lover’s zodiac sign the next time you want to turn up the heat!

Seducing an Aries (March 21 – April 19)

When it comes to courtship, your Aries wants you to be bold and aggressive. Don’t ask permission for a kiss — just plant a breathtaking one as soon as the moment seizes you. The more forceful your approach, the better. Rams are also susceptible to compliments. These folks want to hear that they’re the sexiest person in the room. If you’ve just met an Aries, feel free to contradict them. Spirited debates act like aphrodisiacs on this sign.

Seducing a Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Slow and steady wins the race with Taurus. These folks want to savor the courtship phase of a relationship. Be sure to show up on the first date with a bouquet of flowers or some other beautiful token of your appreciation. Bulls love presents. A subtle splash of cologne will work like a love magnet on Taurus, as this sign is extremely responsive to sensual stimuli. If you’ve got an earthy sense of humor, don’t hide it. Nothing gets Taurus in the mood like a spicy joke.

Seducing a Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

The fastest way to Gemini’s bedroom is through the brain. Ask this sign for a reading recommendation — Geminis love to be consulted about intellectual matters. If you’ve got specialized knowledge of a particular subject, be sure to bring it up. People born under the sign of the Twins are wildly attracted to experts — the more obscure your subject, the better. If Gemini mentions their latest hobby, be sure to ask for a crash course. Nothing gets this sign in the mood like showing off their know-how.

Seducing a Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

These Moon Children are notoriously soft-hearted. If you’d like to make your way into this sign’s bedroom, show off your sensitive side. Express an interest in charities, especially ones involving children. Cancers secretly love being babied, so it’s a great idea to fix this sign a home-cooked meal. Keep the lights low and the music soft … Cancer is very responsive to romantic atmospheres. If you’ve got your sights set on a female Crab, ask permission before you kiss her. If you’re dating a guy, make the first move and then apologize for being so bold.

Seducing a Leo (July 23 – August 22)

If you want to seduce a Leo, focus on this sign like a laser. Compliment the way they dress, eat and breathe. Treat him or her to the best of everything, whether it’s the center table at the fanciest restaurant in town or the choicest spot on your picnic blanket. When the lights are turned low, run your fingers through the Lion’s mane. He or she will purr with delight. Murmur words of praise into his or her ear during foreplay. Your lovemaking will build to a beautiful crescendo.

Seducing a Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Cleanliness is definitely a virtue when seducing Virgo. Make sure that your sheets are freshly laundered before taking a tumble with this sign. It’s also a good idea to be impeccably groomed yourself. Nothing turns a Virgin on like the smell of French-milled soap. In fact, you may want to take a bath together as a prelude to lovemaking. If you’re having trouble even getting a date with Virgo, ask him or her to help organize your desk, proofread a letter or find your keys. This is a great way to break the ice with this service-oriented sign.

Seducing a Libra (September 23 – October 22)

When it comes to seducing sophisticated Libra, it’s best to summon the spirit of Cary Grant or Audrey Hepburn. This sign needs to be romanced in high style … think champagne and evening dress versus beer and baseball caps. Librans love music, so taking this sign to a concert would be a terrific prelude to lovemaking. It’s a wise idea to perfect your kissing technique before making the first move on Libra. This sign wants a lover with finesse.

Seducing a Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

It may be challenging to seduce secretive Scorpio, since it’s hard to gauge this sign’s reactions. Don’t be fazed if your moves are met with an inscrutable smile … that’s just Scorpio’s own form of seduction. A good first move? Take this sign’s hand in a darkened movie theater and trace delicate patterns on the inside of his or her palm. Make love wordlessly and urgently, letting your body do all the communicating.

Seducing a Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarians are easily seduced through humor. Crack a few jokes, make a few pratfalls, and leave some funny voicemails if you’d like to get acquainted with the Archer’s bedroom. The prospect of making love outdoors always excites the Archer. Invite Sagittarius on a camping trip and be sure to bring a double sleeping bag. Last but not least, people born under this sign are ruled by the thighs and hips. Playful Sagittarius will become deadly serious when you zero in on these areas.

Seducing a Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Dignified Capricorn can be quite intimidating on the sexual front, but rest assured that this sexy sign is worth seducing. A slow, steady approach works best with Goats. Limit your first encounter to a lingering kiss. Then the next time you see each other, caress Cappy’s back, neck and shoulders, applying firm, insistent pressure. Make a strategic retreat when Capricorn begs you to finish what you’ve started. Deep down inside, this sign knows that the best things in life are worth waiting for.

Seducing an Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Quirky Aquarius can be a tough nut to crack when it comes to sex. If you’d like to seduce this sign, try an unconventional approach. Claim that you’re doing research for a sex clinic and need their help with an experiment. Declare that, while you’re not interested in pursuing a physical relationship with Aquarius, you’re willing to make the sacrifice in the name of friendship. The more offbeat your manner, the more attracted Aquarius will be. All Water-bearers have a rebellious streak. Dare one to kiss you.

Seducing a Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

If you’d like to seduce a Pisces, transport him or her to another world. Invite your favorite Fish to look through your telescope or check out your aquarium. Make your move as soon as Pisces becomes absorbed in the action. A quick kiss on the back of the neck will lead to bigger and better things. Pisceans have many erogenous areas including especially sensitive feet. A friendly foot rub can fan the flames of desire.
