Love and Sweetness Candle Dressing

Not all candles dressings have to include oil. There are many other creative and meaningful ways to make your herbs stick to your candle, like in this recipe. Instead of using oil, the candle will be coated with maple syrup. As a sugary liquid, maple syrup is associated with sweetness and attraction. If you find it to sticky, try mixing it with a few drops of water to dilute it.

For anointing, you will need:

1/2 teaspoon maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon white sugar

1/2 teaspoon crushed rose petals

1 pinch orris root powder

This dressing can be used on any candles that are burned during love spells, including those surround the place where you do your magical working. If you are doing a spell for attraction using two candles (for example, two candles shaped like human beings bound together), the stickiness of the maple syrup serves to fuse the couple together even further. If you don’t like maple syrup, you can use honey, sugar water, or even a really sweet beverage.

Goddesses – Echo A Greek Mountain Nymph

(While Echo is not a goddess, she did play an important part in Greek mythology for consorting with the gods.)

Echo was an Oread in Greek mythology, a mountain nymph that lived on Mount Kithairon.

The curse of Hera
Zeus was quite attracted to nymphs and often visited them. Hera, his wife, jealous of his various affairs, followed him trying to catch him. However, Echo would engage Hera in long-winded conversations, giving the time to Zeus to evade her. At some point, Hera realised the plot of Echo and cursed her to only be able to repeat the last words that another person just said.

Narcissus rejects Echo
After being cursed, Echo came across a beautiful young man named Narcissus, but was unable to talk to him because of the curse. She simply followed him in the woods. Narcissus, having lost his companions with whom he had gone hunting, started shouting “Is anyone there?” Echo, given the opportunity, repeated the words. He shouted again “Let’s come together” to which Echo rushed onto him repeating his words. However, Narcissus rejected Echo, and she was left in despair.
The end of Echo
Narcissus came across a lake and there, he fell in love with his own image, causing his death, unable to move. Echo mourned for him and eventually died away herself, leaving only her voice behind.

Dream Interpretation and Symbolism – Crossing Any Type of a Bridge

(SIDE NOTE from Lady Carla Beltane – If you have a topic in your dreams that you would like to know more about please put it in the comments below.)

Dream About Crossing A Bridge (Spiritual Meanings & Interpretation)

So you just had a dream about crossing a bridge before waking up and you wish to know what this could mean for you. You might have heard the saying that says “Sometimes you have to burn the bridge to move on” and in this case, this saying perfectly fits the dream interpretation.

A dream about crossing a bridge is a good sign. A bridge in a dream means that you are going to go through a period of bliss, joy, and pleasure.

Bridge in Dream Symbolic Meaning

The bridge is a symbol of hope. It is a metaphor for a person’s spiritual journey, progression, and growth, as one crosses a bridge to get to the other side. Additionally, bridges are symbols of passage. They can represent a connection to your soul and emotions.

Bridges are often reflective of the things in life that are trying to connect us. To dream about crossing a bridge is an auspicious sign in many cultures, as it indicates that the challenges you are currently facing will be easily overcome.

A bridge can also mean connecting with distant memories and reliving them, which would help you understand yourself better. It can also represent a strong connection to someone, a way in which to reach someone or something, or a new way to approach an issue, a new situation, and even new love.

11 Bridge Dream Meanings and Interpretation

1. You’re Starting Out In Life

The symbolism of crossing a bridge in a dream is often associated with someone who has just started out in life and is still trying to find their way through the maze of opportunities available to them at this point in time. It represents the progress you have made in life and how far you have come toward achieving your goals.

2. You Want More Independence In Life

You are ready to move on from the past and make a fresh start. You want to be free of restrictions, old habits, old people and relationships, or any kind of belief that life keeps you from taking control of your own destiny.

Crossing a bridge in a dream can represent the process of resolving inner conflicts and establishing more harmony in one’s life. Another interpretation is that you are approaching maturity.

3. You Need To Make Connections

On the other hand, this dream indicates that you need to make new friends and connections in order for your business, or yourself, to grow. Perhaps through these connections, you will find the right people who can help you reach your goals, which could indicate a positive interpretation of this dream.

4. You’re Lost and Confused

It’s also possible that the bridge represents a period in which you were lost or confused about what path would be best for yourself. If no particular events were happening in your life right now where you need to choose, crossing a wooden bridge in your dream could also indicate how you feel like you don’t belong where you are right now.

This caused your subconscious mind to tell you that perhaps, you must be somewhere else. You will never grow if you remain in one place forever.

5. You Should Consider Your Next Step

To dream of crossing a bridge means that there are going to be some kind of life changes coming up soon. The bridge is likely representing something new and different for you, and crossing it means that you are about to take a major step forward in life.

In this case, we suggest being careful with your next step as it will likely change the rest of your life greatly.

6. You’re Making a Major Decision In Life

Crossing a long bridge means that you are about to make an important decision in your life. You may be considering leaving an old job or career path, moving on from someone else’s bad behavior or relationship, or starting fresh with a new goal in mind.

The bridge is a symbol of a transition period and transformation from one phase of life to another or from one way of lifestyle to another. It can be used to represent obstacles that need to be overcome or it can symbolize the end of a journey.

7. You Are Loyal and Faithful

The bridge can also symbolize faithfulness and loyalty between two individuals who share a strong bond. If you dream about crossing a bridge together with someone special, it means that you’re bonded by mutual trust and love for each other—whether or not it was intentional!

8. You’re Frustrated Of Being Held Back

If you dream about building a bridge, some things are likely holding you back from achieving what matters most to you—a relationship, career goals, or financial security. The dreamer may be feeling frustrated by the barriers they face or perhaps even afraid of what happens when they cross over this new path toward success.

The bridge can also represent attachment, if you cross the bridge regularly, it will indicate that you don’t want to leave your family, friends, and colleagues behind.

9. You’re Stuck In The Past

If you dream of crossing a bridge, it may be time to let go of your past. You may be stuck in a place where you can’t move forward because of some painful memories or experiences from the past. You need to let go of all of them so you can move on.

The dream might be talking about reconciliation, and what it means for you to repair a relationship with someone you care about.

10. Your Relationship/Connection With Others

To dream of crossing a bridge may mean you have the ability to connect with others on an emotional level. In many cases, this dream could mean that you have made a new connection with someone or something.

Crossing a bridge in a dream usually refers to the current life, people, and circumstances of the dreamer. The bridge can be a symbol of your relationship with others. It may refer to family ties and relationships or the relationship between you and another person.

11. You Want To Express Yourself

The bridge in a dream could also represent mental health issues as well as be used as an analogy for overcoming obstacles in life, such as grief and loss or even depression.

The appearance of such a dream might mean you are looking for new opportunities and new ways to express yourself at work, or in your personal relationships with friends and family.

Another way to interpret this dream is to look at the condition of the bridge in your dream.

Different conditions of the bridge

1. Crossing a bridge over a body of water

Crossing the bridge over the river or ocean means you will be successful in your business. If you dream of crossing a bridge, it means that someone is helping you with something and they are holding up their end of the deal.

If you dream about crossing a bridge with a friend, it means that friendship is good for business and that there’s someone who was once an enemy who now has changed their mind about working together.

2. Falling from the bridge

To fall from the bridge is a nightmare. This is a warning sign that you will find it difficult to stabilize yourself financially. It reflects your worries, disappointments, and anxiety. You may have been in a stable position, but now your finances are in danger of being lost. You need to take immediate action if you want to avoid this scenario and keep your finances where they should be—steady and secure.

3. Walking on the bridge

In most cases, when a person sees bridges in dreams, this is often a good sign that signifies successful relationships with friends and associates. Walking over the bridge suggests that you will achieve your goals despite all odds.

If you are standing on the high bridge and see storm clouds coming, it could signify that you are experiencing emotional turbulence or have some unresolved issues.

4. Broken Bridge

A broken or destroyed bridge is a symbol of disaster, burdens, and destruction in life. There may be bad news coming soon. It means that something unexpected has happened in your life, which is why you might feel emotionally troubled by this dream.

If you dream of a suspension bridge due to some reason, it means that your current connections are weak and unstable. A broken bridge can symbolize a lack of communication in your life. This can mean there’s something wrong with your relationship with another person and perhaps even with yourself as well.

5. Collapsing Bridge

If you dream that a part of the bridge collapses and you are on the other side of the bridge, it may mean that you are feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of life. You may be feeling stressed or anxious about your work or family. It could also mean that you need to take some time out to relax and unwind. A bridge shaking may mean that you haven’t found a solution to a problem yet.

Conclusion

We hope this article has shed some light on the spiritual meaning of a bridge in your dreams. It is an exciting time to explore the possibilities of your life!

In general, dreams about crossing bridges indicate that your life situation is changing for the better. The bridge may represent the bridge of life, which we all must cross to reach the other side. You will need to face your fears, and take risks if you want to continue to grow and live your best life.

Gods – Pan Greek God of Nature

Pan – Greek God of Nature

The culture of Ancient Greece involved a complex spiritual world of major and minor gods that oversaw human events and engaged in dramas of their own. One of these, called Pan, ruled over nature and pasturelands. He is frequently depicted in literature and artworks. Although he is not one of the major gods of Ancient Greece, he is one of most often referenced figures in Greek mythology.

PAN FACTS
Name(s): Pan
Rules over: Nature, The Wild, Shepherds, Flocks, Goats, Mountain Wilds. Often associated with sexuality
Title: God Of The Wild
Gender: Male. Also a satyr (half man, half-goat)
Symbols: Pan Flute
Sacred animals: Goat
Items: Corsican Pine, Water-Reed
Parents: Hermes and Penelope (some accounts vary)
Consort: Syrinx, Echo, Pitys
Other significant others: —
Children: The 12 Panes (mountain spirits), various others including Iynx, Silenos and Krotos
Roman name: Faunus

Pan the God of the Wild

Pan is considered to be one of the oldest of GREEK GODS. He is associated with nature, wooded areas and pasturelands, from which his name is derived. The worship of Pan began in rustic areas far from the populated city centers. Therefore, he did not have large temples built to worship him. Rather, worship of Pan centered in nature, often in caves or grottos. He ruled over shepherds, hunters and rustic music. He was the patron god of Arcadia. Pan was often in the company of the wood nymphs and other deities of the forest.

Pan’s Appearance

Perhaps because of his association with nature and animals, Pan did not have the appearance of a normal man. The bottom half of his body was like a goat, with the top half of his body being like other men. However, he is often depicted with horns on his head, and his face is usually unattractive.

Pan’s Lineage

The parentage of Pan is uncertain. Some accounts say he is the son of HERMES and Dryope. Others say he is the son of  ZEUS or the son of Penelope, wife of Odysseus. The story of his birth says that his mother was so distressed by his unusual appearance that she ran away, but he was taken to Mount Olympus where he became the favorite of the gods.

Pan’s Powers

Like the other GODS OF OLYMPUS, Pan possessed enormous strength. He could also run for long periods of time and was impervious to injury. It was believed he could transform objects into different forms and was able to teleport himself from Earth to Mount Olympus and back. He is depicted as very shrewd with a wonderful sense of humor.

In Ancient Roman mythology, a SIMILAR GOD is called Faunus.

Pan and Music

The MYTHOLOGICAL STORIES involving Pan usually involve his romantic interest in a lovely goddess of the woods who spurns his advances and gets turned into an inanimate object to escape him or who otherwise flees from his ugly appearance. One story concerns Syrinx, a beautiful wood nymph. She flees from Pan’s attentions, and her follow GODDESSES turn her into a river reed in order to hide her from him. As the winds blow through the reeds, they make a gentle musical sound. Because he does not know which reed Syrinx is, he cuts several from reeds from the group and set them in a line to make the musical instrument, the pan flute. Pan’s image is often depicted with this instrument.

Pan Gave Humans the Word “Panic”

One story involving Pan is the tale of war, in which Pan helps his friend survive a vicious struggle by letting out an immense cry that frightened the enemy and caused him to run away. From this story, we get the word “panic,” the sudden, uncontrollable fear that leads people into irrational behavior.

Pan in the Modern World

Over the ages, Pan has been a symbol of the force of nature. In the 1800s, interest in this mythological figure revived, and communities organized festivals in which Pan was the central figure. Mythical stories of his antics abound, and he continues to be a figure representing the ancient mystery of the forest, hunting activities and wildlife.

Like the OTHER GODS of Ancient Greece, Pan embodies many of the qualities of the world over which he ruled. He is depicted as energetic, sometimes frightening, with the wild, unbridled creative force of nature that makes him an interesting, and often entertaining, character.

Marriage (Fully Committed Relationship) Numerology Meanings

So, after my day off yesterday I am having a hard time focusing on work as it is beautiful outside and the temperature is mild. As I was doing the weekly horoscopes I looked to see if there was a weekly horoscope on thehoroscope.co but their wasn’t. I decided to scroll down the page a little way to see what else this website might have on it. Found out they have numerology stuff also. Below the picture of the numbers 1 through 9 I saw “Marriage Numerology Meaning” since our wedding is just 16 days away (eeks I need to get busy on the flowers…tee hee) I decided to see what our marriage number will be. It is a 7 as I was reading the meaning for this number, I was surprised that it fits us to a T.

I believe these numbers will work for anyone in a committed relationship if you have “pledged” yourself to your partner and they to you.

Here is the link and the information for how to figure it out your marriage number Marriage Numerology Meanings.

If you would like to share your number with us and let us know if it fits the two or more of you and your relationship, please put it in a comment below.

Here is the link and the information for how to figure it out your marriage number Marriage Numerology Meanings.

Let’s discover what the day we are married in has to say about our relationships and the way the marriage will unravel. In order to discover which your marriage numerology is you need to extract a single digit number out of your marriage date.

The marriage date is considered to be the first date when the two of you have said yes (for some cultures this refers to the first ceremony, the one in front of the law in which you are released the marriage certificate). You transform the month in a number, from 1 to 12 (1+2) then add the day (for the two digit days you need to add them separately) then the year unfolds just the same.

For instance, if the marriage date is February 29, 2010 it means: 2+2+9+2+0+1+0=16, 1+6=7. So the marriage number for the above example is 7. Below you will find the meanings for all nine numerology numbers.

When the number of your marriage is 1:

This suggests dynamism, enthusiasm and determination. This relationship gathers two powerful personalities that can deal on their own with everything that goes in their couple. Sometimes one of you would try to take charge but will definitely come to an agreement when the other starts persuading. Number 1 is a number of beginnings therefore shows that this marriage has been built on a heated passion that will in time switch to a mutual agreement to leading a responsible life. 1 is also a number of selfishness but in the case of marriage there is no such thing, both partners are there because they wanted to connect their lives and can behave in a mature and loving way.

When the number of your marriage is 2:

It suggests romance and peace. It is characteristic for two individuals that have decided to stay together and are connected through a strong feeling of belonging. Two is a number of the couple so you will probably discover in time that you match just like puzzle pieces as long as you lean on each other and spend as much time together as possible. However, a number 2 marriage might be under the risk of possessiveness and jealousy if the two of you don’t know how to balance your impulses. It’s also important for you to synchronize your activities or even work in the same domain. This marriage is also based on home comfort and you both have the desire to have a house and a big family.

When the number of your marriage is 3:

This number suggests modernism, exuberance and general success. It defines a couple that is sociable and open to new experiences but also relies on the comfort of each other. 3 is for a relationship that is liberal in movement, decision and thought and might represent quite a hard test for some people. If you manage to understand and be honest with yourself and with your partner it will definitely be a marriage in which both of you can grow and follow your paths. So don’t even think of changing any of your partner’s habits. This is a full of live relationship that can surpass many of life’s troubles. Just as 3 is the number of the 3 wishes this marriage can work if the two of you wish for it to work.

When the number of your marriage is 4:

This is the number of the four elements, of the four seasons and suggests stability and practicality. It defines a relationship that is soon to escalate and become serious. This couple is stable and reliable and usually with little chances to break apart. However, they are prone to frustration and to growing apart because of boredom and of not being able to resist to outer temptations. These two form a stable and safe family but should not forget of the feelings that first united them and just remember to be romantic from time to time. This is a marriage in which the two permanently invest in the base of their relationship and are often more interested in practicalities in life.

When the number of your marriage is 5:

This is a number of romance and entertainment. It suggests a marriage built on passion and common interests. It usually gathers complex personalities with a mind of their own that are in a permanent search for adventure and new experiences. It is a partnership between two creative persons that can help each other grow. These two are stubborn, fiery and quick to argue when things don’t go the way they want them to. On the long run this relationship has quite a risk to be under the influence of change and the two should be able to adapt and compromise in order for things to work out. This is also a number suggesting a big family and frequent challenges in family life.

When the number of your marriage is 6:

This is a powerful number that symbolizes equilibrium, love and good health. It is usually a lucky number and indicates mutual powerful feelings. The two persons involved in this marriage are close friends and life partners above all and usually their love develops from a great friendship relationship. These two know how to work together to raise a family and they rarely grow apart as they usually have the same view on how to live life. This marriage is optimistic, practical and usually build on affection and loyalty. This kind of union usually leaves behind a great legacy.

When the number of your marriage is 7:

(Side Note from LCB: This fits Big Dawg and I like a glove!)

This number suggests great attachment and love and it usually defines a couple that feels best when alone or just surrounded by close friends. These two know how to live their love in a protective far away place. This kind of marriage is above all based on intellectual affinity and cooperation. Both of the partners are aware of the great responsibility they have towards their significant other and they usually make sure to be as much supportive as they can. They might have moment in live when they feel stuck but otherwise, the number 7 couple the partners manage to keep their individuality but also build something new together.

When the number of your marriage is 8:

This number suggests wealth, prosperity and loyalty. This is a marriage that is entirely based on mutual affection and understanding that started as a heated passion. These two have complex personalities and a strong intellectual affinity so they usually have similar occupations or work as a team. This is that kind of relationship in which both partners have the same goals and expectations in life so they rarely argue. What these two need to learn is that sometimes they should be a lot more open to the outer world and not only count on their own powers.

When the number of your marriage is 9:

This is a number suggesting generosity, loyalty and romance. This is a marriage based entire on good communication and management of feelings. These two usually pair up quickly and can’t even remember how life was when they were single. They might come from different backgrounds or even cultures but this will only spice up their relationship. A couple like this won’t meet many outer obstacles but might have some difficulties in understanding and working with the need of freedom of one partner. Each of the partners tries to put the happiness of the other above his but there might be some sacrifices needed to get this goal to completion.

All Signs

We are halfway through this year, so let’s look at where we’ve been and where we’re headed. This can help us make plans. It can also increase our confidence and hopes for the future. What can we expect? Where should we put our focus? We know that meteorology can predict the weather; but astrology is the only discipline I know that can forecast the future primarily because the planets have predictable cycles. But astrology aside, there is one truth that is solid, certain and cannot be ignored and it is that you will never again be as young as you right now. Oh yes. As you read these words, you are the youngest you will ever be. (Some things are hard to lose forever – like youth and toilet paper.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You will get richer this year or next depending on if you’re an early Aries or born after April 10. Either way, the wealth is coming! This is timely because meanwhile, in the next few years, you will be letting go of what is no longer relevant in your life — people, places and possessions. It’s time to streamline your world and lighten up! An interesting combo. On one hand, you’re attracting abundance, and on the other hand, you have different fingers. Seriously, on the other hand you’re letting go of the past. You will notice that things that you used to do, which got a certain result – somehow no longer get that result? Something has changed. This will lead to fresh, new beginnings in 2026.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a beneficial year for you because for the first time since 2011-2012, lucky Jupiter is in your sign for an entire year. This is a boost to your good fortune! Relationships and encounters with others will work to your advantage. Your self-confidence and poise will increase. This also means you’re beginning a new 12-year cycle of growth where you will discover more deeply who you really are. Meanwhile, one of your challenges will be to learn how to deal with the demands of others (especially based on your recent successes), and at the same time, protect your own world so that you don’t sell out to everyone. You have your own needs! Meanwhile, in 2024-2025, you will get richer! Ka-ching!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are now beginning your time of harvest, which will last for the next few years. (This last occurred 1994-95.) This means that you will be able to see what is working in your life and what is not. Don’t dwell on failure. Instead, focus on what is working because this is a time of great achievement for you. You will reap the rewards of everything you have done since 2008-2009. Personally, this year will be more spiritual for you. You will discover more about your inner world and deeper values. By June 2024, lucky Jupiter returns to your sign bringing you good fortune and an opportunity to boost your confidence and poise! Looking swell!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This year and next year, you’ll be a more popular — more involved with friends, daily contacts, groups and organizations. Meanwhile, this is also a time of preparation. You need to get performance ready for your time of harvest, which will arrive in 2026-2027. This will be a time when you reap the benefits of the seeds you have sown in the past. Therefore, as part of your preparation for this special time in your future, explore what courses or further training you might get that put you in a better position for when that time arrives. Likewise, grab opportunities to travel to enrich yourself so that you can dazzle others when it really matters.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Because lucky Jupiter is at the top of your chart for the first time since 2012-2013, people see you as successful, affluent and happy. (Next year for later leos.) Obviously, this increased admiration is because you are reaping some success – a promotion, a published book, an award, your own business, a marriage, a first child – something that makes you feel proud. Nevertheless, while you shine in the eyes of others, you are also getting along with less. It might be less from the government. A scholarship might end. You might end a relationship. Something has forced you to stand on your own 2 feet. Both these influences are occurring. Verrrry interesting.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a similar time to what occurred around 1994-1995. (Saturn opposite your sign.) This influence can be stressful on partnerships and marriages, which is why relationships that are more trouble than they’re worth will end. All your close relationships will undergo an adjustment; however, most of these relationships will endure and come out stronger in the end. Meanwhile, this year you have marvellous opportunities to travel and expand your world in exciting ways. You might go back to school. You might take courses. You might explore opportunities in publishing, the media or medicine and the law. Next year, your success is obvious. You will shine!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are in a two to three-year window of hard work. There might be times when you will feel overwhelmed with the demands and responsibilities you have to face; however, do not fear. You will handle this! In fact, by 2026-2027, you will get recognition for busting your buns in the next few years. Fortunately, many of you will become richer and have favours and practical wealth come to you via a third party, your spouse, a business partner, an inheritance or a friend. Possibly you will have the use of something that someone else owns? You definitely will get a financial boost this year or next year. Keep plugging!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Many of you will have increased responsibilities with children for the next few years. Personally, you might find yourself feeling at loose ends. The thing is, no matter how old you are, you’re wondering what you really want to be when you grow up? What is your calling? How can you find out? In the next few years, these answers will present themselves to you. In the meantime, this is a fabulous year for relationships – professional partnerships and marriages. In fact, it’s the best year in over a decade to get married! (This year or next, depending on if you are an early or late Scorpio.) Fun times ahead!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the perfect year to boost your health and become stronger. This is also a wonderful year to improve your job, or how you do things, or get a better job. (These opportunities to improve your job and your health will come later if you are born after December 10 – but they will come!) Meanwhile, in the next several years, you will work to establish your roots. If you continue living where you now reside, you will tackle some basic home repairs and restructuring. Others might change residences. You might also be more involved with a parent than usual. Basically, you want to solidify your home base to feel secure in your future.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Lucky you! This year and next are the perfect time to have fun, take vacations, explore the arts, enjoy enriching times with children and encounter thrilling opportunities in romance and new love. Yes, it’s play city for Capricorns! In fact, children will be a great source of joy to you. However, you are also looking at a two to three-year window where you might change residence, change your job or both. Starting around 2015, you had to give up things and let go of what was no longer relevant in your life. By 2018, you set off on a new journey and now you are testing the waters. You know that you want to feel secure about where you are living by 2026. And you will.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a wonderful year for home and family. In fact, some of you will expand your family through birth, adoption or marriage. Family members will get along better with each other and they will be more generous to each other. By extension, you might also improve your home or expand it through renovations. Some of you might even move to something that you like better. This benefit to your private life will last this year (or next year, if you were born after Feb. 10.) Meanwhile, you are taking a more serious view about cash flow, earnings and your assets. At a deeper level, you’re also wondering about your values and what really matters in life? “These are serious times for the Federation.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a significant year for you because Saturn is back in your sign for the first time since 1994-1995. This means it’s the beginning of a new 30-year cycle for you. Serious stuff! And yet, you’re laughing. That’s because lucky Jupiter is going through your House of Communications boosting your sense of optimism and pleasure in your everyday world. In a word – you’re happy! You’re content. In fact, next year (or 2025 for those born after March 10) will be a time when you really enjoy where you’re living because you will move to something better or be happier with your home life. (It could expand through marriage, birth or adoption.) The more the merrier!

Moon Alert

After 4 AM EDT today (1 AM PDT) there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a productive day for you if you don’t get sidetracked with your kids, money issues (especially extravagance) and difficulties with romantic partners. These are touchy issues. Nevertheless, you’re actually focused and raring to go.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week you’re involved with financial deals and cash flow. (There’s something cooking on the back burner.) Possibly, this relates to redecorating or renovating projects? You have strong ideas now about what you want to accomplish and you’re thinking big!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It’s all about you dear Gemini because the Sun is in your sign, which is energizing and empowering. This means you can use your clever verbal skills to avoid arguments with daily contacts, siblings and relatives, especially if they stand in the way of your behind-the-scenes plans.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You prefer to be low-key by working alone or behind the scenes this week. However, very likely, you will get drawn into a power struggle about money, possessions or how you use the resources of someone else or how you respond to the request. It’s tricky. (But so are you.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a popular week for you – no question. Nevertheless, it begins with fair Venus and Mars in your sign opposing big daddy Pluto, which could indicate a power struggle. Some aspect of this power struggle might even be public. Or it could involve your successful reputation. (Curious.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have the upper hand this week because the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. This means no matter what happens, you look pretty good in the eyes of others. (This is handy because something going on behind the scenes might challenge your work or your health.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Small wonder if you have a strong desire to “get away from it all” today. It appears that difficulties with friends or groups, and financial resources, (possibly even related to your kids) are going to create a few problems this week. Time to get outta Dodge.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today, tomorrow and especially on Wednesday, you will need to be tactful and diplomatic because you will encounter power struggles with bosses, partners, friends and family members. With your steely self-discipline, focus and skill, you can weave through this unscathed. It’s who you are.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The easiest way to survive the first half of this week (actually, maybe all of it) is to avoid controversial subjects, especially related to politics, religion or racial issues. Keep a low profile. No need to stand on your soapbox. These difficulties could impact your work and even your health. Stay cool.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Disputes about shared property, earnings, cash flow and how money is spent on children, vacations and social outings are just some examples of challenges that you might encounter today and in the next few days. You can’t avoid these challenges — but who better then you can demonstrate grace under pressure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid power struggles with partners and close friends today. Likewise, don’t involve family as well, because things will turn into a circus. (You don’t need this.) Fortunately, you’re in a playful, upbeat frame of mind, and you want to have a good time! Go with what works.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be patient with work colleagues today, and later this week, because you’ll be glad you did. (After all, you have to see these people next week as well.) Instead, swing your focus to home, family and your private life. You might even hide.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Musician Kenny G (1956) shares your birthday today. Because you’re multitalented and try to do everything — learn to pace yourself. Take time off. This is the perfect year to take inventory of your life. You might have let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It seems that you are starting this week with your mind all wondering over your love affairs. There might not be anything troubling you or in fact you might have many reasons to rejoice.

The whole point is that you will probably find it hard to focus. Maybe it’s not the best time to take any important decisions and you should hold this, waiting for better times.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Maybe its time for you to listen to someone in your family that has been talking to you about a certain subject for some time now.

You should finally succumb to his or her insistence and see whether their plan is as bad as you thought it was. You might be surprised how the opinion of another person will shed some light on your own troubles.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You should be warned that at this beginning of the week you will be quite convincing and this means you should start talking to people about your plans and endeavors.

You will definitely have all the resources at hand to convince them of the benefits. However, you should be careful not to cross the line between convincing and manipulating.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This beginning of the week comes with some material gain opportunities for you. This means that you will benefit from unexpected resources coming from certain areas of your activity.

You should be using this influx to establish other contacts and invest in your activities. However, you should take some time to think everything through before signing any new contracts.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You should take advantage of this popularity you will be experiencing this beginning of the week. People will look up to you and search your company.

Be the model they are expecting you to be and don’t hesitate from leading them in the right areas. However, this also triggers the risk of you taking some rash decisions for yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This Monday will be a great occasion for you to participate to some sort of official reunion. In most cases, it will be something that refers to your professional life.

Keep your eyes wide open and your mind even wider because you will be able to seize some unexpected opportunities. It is also a great moment to make sentimental partnerships official.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It seems that you will have a lot more luck today than you’ve previously experienced on a Monday. This is a great time for you to show what you are able to do, especially at work.

It’s also a good moment to impose authority in front of those in your team and to argument logically why your decisions should be followed. These activities will be later rewarded.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This Monday is going to be an auspicious day for all natives who are ready to make bold investments. This observation does not refer only to professional actions but also to personal endeavors.

This means that not only will you be able to complete good contracts at work but also make official a sentimental partnership. Other than that, a calm day ahead.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This Monday there are great chances for you to be all melancholic in regard of places you’ve been. Your mind will be wondering for the whole day thus making it kind of difficult for you to focus on work.

The luckiest natives are those who are on vacation right now. Dwell in your memories as long as it doesn’t make you postpone any real plans.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It seems that you are not going to start this week in the best of shape as your health might be troubling you. Make sure there is nothing serious and try to maintain a healthy diet.

If there are worse symptoms maybe it would be time for you to go for a consult with a medical professional. Keep positive and avoid any unnecessary stress.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This beginning of the week will teach you an important lesson. It seems that you need to take big risks to advance and you might be forced to make some quick decisions or invest a large amount of money.

Don’t be stubborn and evaluate every opinion that comes your way. You might find unexpected information from someone you never thought of.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It is going to be quite a calm beginning of the week with little changes to be announced. All you can do is stick to your plans and embrace any change with peace of mind.

You will probably have some spare time for fun and games in the afternoon so don’t avoid it. It’s a good time to be spent with children of your own or from your family.

More Information

 People born on June 5 have a lot of hidden talents that they are not necessarily keen on revealing. They unravel slowly and only to those who seem to have the same values in life as they do. They can be quite discriminating with those who don’t share their opinions and are quite eloquent when trying to explain them to others. They enjoy travelling and feel at ease when surrounded by numerous people, not necessarily people they are familiar with.

 Positive traits: Searching for experience and trying to widen their horizon is the law these natives respect. This is what triggers their vivacity and positivity. They are also caring and kind hearted with their peers but only when their own empathic and social needs are being met. They are both polite and blunt and seem to adapt between these two quite easily but not necessarily in the way that is desired of them.

 Negative traits: These are some of the most energetic natives and they are rapid to react and enter in all kinds of controversies just for the sake of the controversy. They are not very good at keeping their pacts, especially if they were forced in any way to make them. They can take even relevant things easily and this sometimes predisposes them to taking speculations without really accepting what concerns them.

Magpie

The magpie is one of the most intelligent birds on the planet. It is one of the very few birds that can produce a wide range of calls and songs.

Having a magpie as your spirit animal draws attention to your wide array of skills and talents. When this black and white bird flies into your life, it means you are no ordinary person.

This bird is attracted to shiny objects, and it has been known to swoop down and make away with pieces of jewelry.

This reflects on your personality as a go-getter. You don’t wait for things to happen in your world: you push them to happen.

In many cultures and mythologies, the magpie signifies good luck, progress, and success.

What’s the Magpie Meaning and Symbolism?

Symbol of Creativity and Imagination

Rune

Witch’s Rune

Crossed Spears

Keywords: Arguments, negativity.

Meanings: The Crossed Spears is a rune that signifies arguments and negative events. Often this can be of an upsetting nature, rather like the Tower card in the tarot. It is not all bad though. If it is near to a positive rune it may indicate the end of a quarrel and healing. Especially if it lies near the Rings. This rune could mean a promotion at work, or a fast recovery if you’re ill.

Nion/Nin

N is for Nion, sometimes called Nuin, which is connected to the Ash tree. Ash is one of three trees which were sacred to the Druids (Ash, Oak and Thorn), and connects the inner self to the outer worlds. This is a symbol of connections and creativity, and transitions between the worlds.

In Norse legend, Yggdrasil, the World Tree, is an Ash. Its roots grew down far into the Underworld, and its branches reached all the way up into the heavens. Odin hung himself from the tree for nine days as a sacrifice. Ash also features prominently in the Irish myth cycles, and is often depicted growing beside a well or pool of wisdom.

Nion Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: Remember that for every action, there is a consequence, and these effect not only ourselves but others as well. What we do in our life will carry into the future and possibly even beyond. Every one of our words and deeds has some sort of impact.

Magical Aspects: The Universe is like a giant web. Strands bind us all together, either closely or at a distance. We are all connected in one way or another, so it is important to find harmony between the spiritual realm and the physical, and between all living beings. Endeavor to live a spiritual life that considers the needs of the natural world around you.

I Ching

Hexagram Twenty – Three/23

Po / Splitting Apart

The weight of the Mountain presses down upon a weak foundation of Earth:
The Superior Person will use this time of oppression to attend to the needs of those less fortunate.

Any action would be ill-timed.
Stand fast.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is a situation easily mistaken for Stagnation (Hexagram 12) or Revolution (Hexagram 49).
It just depends on which side you’re on.
During a time of Stagnation, human worms invade to feed on the decay.
During a time of Revolution, oppression is being overthrown.
But in this situation, oppressors are violently seizing power.
Pay special heed when you receive this hexagram, because the oracle is often warning you of a situation of which you are totally unaware.
You are about to be blindsided.

Numerology

From numeroscop.net

Two

Two, as one of the Core Numbers, is an Axis of Symmetry, a point of equilibrium which provides peace to your inner world. Any disturbance of this condition you perceive as a direct threat to life and well-being. It provokes you to action with the main goal of the restoration of order and harmony in the world.Intuitive confidence in the rationality and justice of the world order makes you stick to the view that all the troubles come from the people’s inability to hear and understand each other. Therefore you voluntarily assume the responsibility of a peacemaker.

Positive qualities

The list of positive qualities of the Two fully matches the list of canonical human virtues. They are good nature, peacefulness, generosity, ethic and tact based on intuition, insight and understanding of the human soul.

Add romantic, artistic nature and an exceptional sense of beauty here, and you get a genuine Masterpiece. One can only regret that it is almost impossible to have this figure in all numbers of the numerological core, and that people whose positive qualities completely supersede all the negative ones simply don’t exist.

One should clearly see the borderline between diplomacy and commitment to the peaceful coexistence, and compliance and timidity.

Negative qualities

The most obvious negative qualities of the Two are the disposition to dependent position, appeasement, depression and indecisiveness.

Being passive can cause undue flexibility in matters of principle which should inevitably lead to failures in all spheres of life, and as a consequence, resentment of oneself, anger and alienation.

One should clearly see the borderline between diplomacy and commitment to the peaceful coexistence, and compliance and timidity.

 

Gods – Overview The Olympian Gods and Goddesses

There will be a more detailed post for each god and goddess in the upcoming weeks.

The Olympian Gods and Goddesses, Main Greek Gods and Goddesses

The Olympian gods or Olympians are younger gods who got the name after their mythical place Mount Olympus. They had gained rank as the rulers of the world after dethroning the elder gods, known also as the Titans, in a ten-year war called Titanomachy. The Olympians, as they called themselves, were the main gods of Ancient Greece and were representing civilization of the world.

The first generation Olympians were descendants of a titan couple Cronus and Rhea. Together they gave birth to six children, three sons and three daughters. The sons were Poseidon, Hades, Zeus and daughters Hera, Hestia and Demeter. Zeus, Poseidon, Hera and Demeter are always considered as Olympian gods while Hestia and Hades are only included at some point of their existence. Hades was supposed to live on Mount Olympus and had every honour and right to but was given the realm of death under his control, when the three brothers had to split the cosmos after the victory over titans. And Hestia lived there just for a short period. After being granted a place on Mount Olympus by Zeus she eventually, because of her modesty, gave away her place to keep peace among gods because there were only twelve places on Mount Olympus, and the desire for these was huge among gods. The second generation Olympians were Athena, Ares, Hermes, Dionysus, Apollo, Artemis and Hephaestus. Aphrodite is also sometimes considered as the second generation goddess but is in general referred to be from the titans generation. Anyway, all of these gods are referred as Olympian gods and together they presided over every aspect of human life.

Overview Flower Meanings: The Language of Flowers

I will do a more detailed post on each flower in the coming weeks

Flower Meanings: The Language of Flowers from almanac.com

What Does Each Flower Symbolize?

Discover the language of flowers with the Almanac’s complete chart of Flower Meanings. When selecting flowers—for a Mother’s Day bouquet, for your garden, or even for a tattoo, know their meaning.

The History of Flower Meanings

The language of flowers has been recognized for centuries in many countries throughout Europe and Asia. They even play a large role in William Shakespeare’s works. Mythologies, folklore, sonnets, and plays of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Chinese are peppered with flower and plant symbolism—and for good reason.

Whether you’re giving flowers to a mother for Mother’s Day, a friend on their birthday or a beloved on Valentine’s Day, nearly every sentiment imaginable can be expressed with flowers. The orange blossom, for instance, means chastity, purity, and loveliness, while the red chrysanthemum means “I love you.”

Flower Language of the Victorian Era

Learning the special symbolism of flowers became a popular pastime during the 1800s. Nearly all Victorian homes had, alongside the Bible, guidebooks for deciphering the “language,” although definitions shifted depending on the source.

Following the protocol of Victorian-era etiquette, flowers were primarily used to deliver messages that couldn’t be spoken aloud. In a sort of silent dialogue, flowers could be used to answer “yes” or “no” questions. A “yes” answer came in the form of flowers handed over with the right hand; if the left hand was used, the answer was “no.”

Plants could also express aversive feelings, such as the “conceit” of pomegranate or the “bitterness” of aloe. Similarly, if given a rose declaring “devotion” or an apple blossom showing “preference,” one might return to the suitor a yellow carnation to express “disdain.”

How flowers were presented and in what condition was important. If the flowers were given upside down, then the idea being conveyed was the opposite of what was traditionally meant. How the ribbon was tied said something, too: Tied to the left, the flowers’ symbolism applied to the giver, whereas tied to the right, the sentiment was in reference to the recipient. And, of course, a wilted bouquet delivered an obvious message!

More examples of plants and their associated human qualities during the Victorian era include bluebells and kindness, peonies and bashfulness, rosemary and remembrance, and tulips and passion. The meanings and traditions associated with flowers have certainly changed over time, and different cultures assign varying ideas to the same species, but the fascination with “perfumed words” persists just the same.

Flower Meanings by Color

Flowers provide an incredibly nuanced form of communication. Some plants, including roses, poppies, and lilies, could express a wide range of emotions based on their color alone.

Take, for instance, all of the different meanings attributed to variously colored carnations: Pink meant “I’ll never forget you”; red said “my heart aches for you”; purple conveyed capriciousness; white was for “the sweet and lovely”; and yellow expressed romantic rejection.

Likewise, a white violet meant “innocence,” while a purple violet said that the bouquet giver’s “thoughts were occupied with love.” A red rose was used to openly express feelings of love, while a red tulip was a confession of love. The calla lily was interpreted to mean “magnificent beauty,” and a clover said, “think of me.”

Unsurprisingly, the color of the rose plays a huge role. Red roses symbolize love and desire, but roses come in a variety of colors, and each has its own meaning.

White rose: purity, innocence, reverence, a new beginning, a fresh start.

Red rose: love; I love you.

Deep, dark crimson rose: mourning.

Pink rose: grace, happiness, gentleness.

Yellow rose: jealousy, infidelity.

Orange rose: desire and enthusiasm.

Lavender rose: love at first sight.

Coral rose: friendship, modesty, sympathy.

What Wedding Flowers Mean

One tradition is to select the flowers of a wedding bouquet based on plant symbolism. As an example, look to the royal flower bouquet in the wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, to Kate Middleton (now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge). Her all-white bouquet had lily-of-the-valley (representing trustworthiness, purity), sweet William (gallantry), hyacinth (loveliness), myrtle (love in marriage), and ivy (continuity). Altogether, these flowers’ meanings reveal the hope of a loving, everlasting marriage.

The groom, too, wore a flower that appeared in the bridal bouquet in his button-hole. This stems from the Medieval tradition of wearing his Lady’s colors as a declaration of his love.

One fun modern idea is to give each bridesmaid a bouquet featuring a signature flower whose meaning suits her personality.

There is a language, little known,
Lovers claim it as their own.
Its symbols smile upon the land,
Wrought by nature’s wondrous hand;
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of life and joy, to those who seek
For Love Divine and sunny hours
In the language of the flowers.
–The Language of Flowers, London, 1875

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends Here is a Poem/Song Lyrics for Today

To me this song/poem says a lot about accepting life on how I choose to live it. It is used as the theme song for Star Trek Enterprise. Great prequel television series for the Star Trek many of us grew up with.

I Believe I Can Fly

R. Kelly
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I’m leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly (woo)
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly (woo!)
Hey, ’cause I believe in you
Oh
If I can see it (woo!), then I can do it (I can do it)
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it (hey)
I believe I can fly (woo!)
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly (I can fly)
I believe I can fly (I can fly)
I believe I can fly (I can fly)
If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly, I can fly)
Woo (I can fly)
Hm-mm… fly, fly, fly
