Playing fast and loose with recent financial and business gains is not recommended in the early hours as Mercury forms a frictional, 135-degree link with Jupiter (10:45AM). While it is true that both Mercury and Jupiter are back on the move, in direct motion and gaining more speed with each passing day, any of the hard aspects between them (45-degrees, 90-degrees, 135-degrees and 180-degrees), can pack a wallop and potentially send you to the back of the class with a dunce cap on your head. Therefore, keep utilizing the Moon in Leo in creative, artistic, and childlike ways to feel personally upbeat and content with social affairs. Later on — when the Mercury-Jupiter connection starts dissipating — a harmonious trine of 120-degrees between the Sun and Saturn in water signs (2:17PM) can enrich your career aims and exalt your worldly stature. Tune into the realm of fashion, design, style and elegance for a change of pace as Juno forms a supportive, 30-degree tie with Neptune (7:24PM). Exercise some caution and restraint overnight regarding communications, correspondence, and travel as the Moon makes its monthly opposition with Mercury (11:29PM). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

The Witches Magick for March 11th – Control Your Elment Spell
Control Your Elment Spell
To help and understand the practice of using your element to its highest ability.
The first step is to become one with the element you want to work with. Allow it to fill you completely and become a part of you.
Remember you are working with an energy greater than yourself. You must be at one with the element before it can affect you. Feel that you are made of only the element you have chosen. Say to yourself, “I am one with Infinite (name of element),” until you feel as though you are that element. Feel the infinite energy of the element coursing through you, and know that it has the power to affect you. See yourself as taking on the characteristics that this larger power possesses.
A useful exercise is practicing becoming in tune with the different elements.
For water, float in a pool or play in the bath;
for earth, go lie down in a field or forest, or even in your own backyard;
for air you can visit a windy hill or sit in front of a fan;
for fire, sit in a desert or a dry sauna. If this is unavailable, you could turn up the heat in your home.
Breathe in the element feeling its energy fill you, cleansing you, then breathe out letting the element take out any impurities with it. Spend at least a week on each element. Then practice becoming the element. With steady practice you will get results.
Now you can guide how this greater energy will specifically affect you. A good way to do this is to think about the area you are trying to heal (if you are interested in healing yourself, for example), and give yourself affirmations such as: My stomach is peaceful and tranquil. Or: The pain is gone. Or you can even just use one word affirmations like: Peace, tranquility, soothing, etc. You are in effect taking the broad characteristics of an element and trying to narrow it down to your specific problem.
Keep up your concentration until you have an effect, which is not always easy to do, especially if you are experiencing great pain. Feeling one with the element, focusing it on a particular problem, while saying your affirmations, all at the same time. It can get a bit difficult, but the rewards are worth the trouble. It may take several minutes to achieve results, depending upon the problem.
If after many minutes of concentration you have not received the full benefit, try letting go of the images and let the element follow through on its own. This is especially true in cases of diarrhea, which usually takes several hours. You may have to use several treatments until you achieve the desired effect.
After you know what each element can do, you can tailor your treatments to a specific purpose.

Earth
Solid and strong – Earth is the mountain, protective it is the shelter of the cave, nurturing it is the food from the fields and the animals of the hunt. It is life. It is ancient and it is replenishing. Earth is also the direction of the North where the great mountains reside, it is midnight, it is winter and it is the point between death and rebirth when things sleep to gather strength. It is the embrace of death and the promise of rebirth.
Earth is traditionally thought of as a feminine element for from the Earth springs life and that is the realm of women. Earthy things are practical, protective and nurturing. In astrology it is represented by Capricorn (Ambitious, Hard-working, Miserly, Grouchy), Taurus (Calm, Traditional, Sensual and Greedy), and Virgo (Organized, Conscientious, Fussy and Anxious). It is the color of green (or brown).
Earth is the element of the North and the gift of the North is the Lia Fial or magick stone that would cry out when a righteous ruler touched it. This person would be a protector (mother/father) to a nation.
Air
The breath of inspiration, serenity and logic, creativity and the wonder that fills us as we look to the skies and see shapes and dreams within the clouds. Air is also the raw power of a cyclone and the precision of a lightning strike, it is the violence and turbulence of the thunderstorm that also mimics the creative process.
Air is traditionally a masculine element. It is thought and action, inspiration and wonder. It is youthfulness and it is boundless energy. In astrology it is represented by Libra (Charming, Tasteful, Easygoing, Indulgent), Aquarius (Progressive, Inventive, Eccentric and Rebellious) and Gemini (Lively, Talkative, Flirtatious and Crafty). It is the dawn of a new day, it is Spring time, new beginnings and the directions of the sunrise – The East. It is the color Yellow.
Air is the element of the East and brings the gift of the Sword of Nuada that was said to embody the power and knowledge of the Celtic people.
Fire
Burning passion, desire, heated arguments, rage, shouting, screaming, laughing, and crying. All acts of passion and the heat of the moment. Explosions of temper and passionate embraces. Fire is all this but it is also devotion, determination and drive. It fuels us to great accomplishments and gives us hope when all else is lost.
Fire is also traditionally a Masculine element often associated with wars and the Sun. Fire gives us purpose and direction. In astrology Fire is represented by Aries (Energetic, Competitive, Impatient, Selfish), Leo (Commanding, Colorful, Superior and Self-Centered) and Sagittarius (Adventurous, Jovial, Careless and a Spendthrift). It is the mid-day sun, it is summer, it is the prime of our lives. It is represented by the color red.
Fire is the Element of the South and its gift is the Spear of Lugh that when wielded in battle would emit a blinding light stunning ones foes and leading to victory.

Fire is the Element of the South and its gift is the Spear of Lugh that when wielded in battle would emit a blinding light stunning ones foes and leading to victory.
Spirit
We are physical beings born of flesh and blood, yet at the same time there is a piece of us that will outlive our bodies and that connects us to each other. This is our astral selves, our aura, the touch of divinity. In traditional alchemy the four traditional elements (earth, air, fire and water) were easily found in nature and within ourselves, but alchemists devoted thier lives to looking for the fifth element (spirit) that would only manifest when there was a balance of the other four within our lives.
Spirit is the fifth point on the Pentagram and the center of our circles. It provides balance by connecting us to not only the other Elements but to each other and divinity. The gift of spirit is the akashic records from which we are connected to all things.
Spirit is not associated with any time of day for it rides with us, it is also not associated with a season or stage of life except perhaps for the point between death and rebirth. Spirit exists apart from time and space. We invite spirit into our rituals when we call on Diety. It is represented by the altar itself, and by the pentacle.

‘THINK on THESE THINGS’ for March 11th
‘THINK on THESE THINGS’
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler
What is it that keeps us from doing the creative things we want to do? Fear of venturing and losing, fear of the unknown. And yet, every day of our lives we venture and seldom acknowledge the fact that we didn’t lose. We too often accomplish something because circumstances forced a courage we could not muster from mere desire.
Frequently we must simply have the audacity to lay aside the taboos we have built for ourselves, for fear of appearing foolish, and follow a creative curiosity.
When Robert Louis Stevenson wrote, “Give me a young man with brains enough to make a fool of himself,” he didn’t mean intentionally acting foolishly. He meant that a fearlessness of appearing foolish can enable us to step outside the realms of what others would call the limits.
The simplest ventures often bring joy to many, particularly to those who in the beginning dared to stand on their own chances of winning or losing.

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – March 11
Elder’s Meditation of the Day – March 11
“The symbol of wholeness, represented by the medicine wheel, is still being used in D/Lakota ceremonies today. The center where the “X” crosses is considered the home of Tunkasila, Wakan-Tanka, God. I speculated, `If this is the symbol of wholeness, the symbol of the psyche, with Wakan-Tanka at the center, then Wakan-Tanka or God would be within you.'”
–Dr. A.C. Ross (Ehanamani), LAKOTA
The Medicine Wheel represents everything. All the directions originate from the center outward. The center is the home of the Creator. The Medicine Wheel represents the human being. At our center is the home of the Great Spirit. This is why we are spiritual. The easiest way for us to find God and talk to Him, is for us to become centered. This means, relax our bodies, still our minds, let go of our emotions and listen quietly. Shhh. Be still.
My Creator, let me walk in the stillness today.
March 11 – Daily Feast
March 11 – Daily Feast
Can you see the wind? Can you see the fragrance of flowers floating on the breezes? Can you see thought or what it is that changes a tree from bare limbs and brown leaves to lush green? Can you see love or joy or peace? We can only see evidence of these invisible things, and it is enough to make us know they do exist. The substance of life is so evident, so real and beautiful. Why is it that we ever question the existence of our Creator, who set all things in motion? Are we so base, so grounded that unless it gives us momentary pleasure, feeds our starving appetites, we cannot recognize the greatest help available? It is Galun lati, the Great Holy Spirit, invisible but more real than all we see that is tangible.
~ We see the changes of day and night….the seasons, the stars, the moon, the sun. Anyone must know it is the work of some one more powerful than man. ~

Daily Motivator for March 11th – Live your life
Live your life
Actual problems are problem enough. Don’t let yourself be stopped by the mere possibility of problems.
Go ahead and live your life in the way you choose. Though the challenges and setbacks will come along, you have what it takes to deal with them as they appear.
Instead of being intimidated by what might go wrong, let yourself be inspired by all that can go right. Make the choice to live the best life you can imagine, and make the commitment to put forth whatever effort is required for that.
Let the resistance you encounter serve as confirmation that you’re moving forward. Let the problems keep you motivated to fulfill your most treasured dreams.
Live your life, today, right now, with the passion, attention and love it deserves. Embrace the abundance and add your own special meaning to it all.
Remind yourself of what a truly great opportunity you have with the dawning of every single day. You have the miraculous gift of life, with its limitless possibilities, so live it with purpose, courage, richness and joy.
— Ralph Marston
The Daily OM For March 11th – As You Believe
As You Believe
Create Completeness
When we affirm that we are fulfilled rather than deficient, we are asserting that contentment is a natural way of being.
The creative power of the universe is infinite. A single molecule’s destiny is as important as the consequences of the largest supernova. Human potential is subject to this power, but because we are sentient beings, each of us is permitted to choose whether we will struggle against it or work in tandem with it. When we give voice to our desires through focused meditation or solicit the help of spirit guides, we draw upon the universe’s creative power to achieve certain ends. However, because our words are not all the universe hears, the response we receive may surprise us. The discourse we establish through our appeals is a blend of speech, thought, intention, and subconscious reflection. When we ask the universe for something, the unspoken message is that what we want does not exist, and the universe accepts this as truth. Conversely, we manifest completeness through affirmations in which we declare our desires as if we have already obtained them.
When we affirm that we are fulfilled instead of articulating deficiencies, we are asserting that contentment is a natural and necessary element of human existence. Our essence is an expression of fulfillment—the universe wants to satisfy our needs and desires. When we describe our realities in positive terms, we are not denying the challenges inherent in existence. We choose not to focus on lack or dissatisfaction because we understand that the energy of our thoughts will determine the response we receive to our entreaties. Ask yourself how you would feel if your wishes were granted, and then allow yourself to internalize that emotional state. Try to create a picture of satisfaction so vivid that its reality is unquestionable and tell the universe that your vision is fact. At the close of your appeal, express your gratitude, as it is your acknowledgment of the truth of your fulfillment that will set the creative power of the universe into motion.
Working in perfect unison with the creative power of the universe will empower you to manifest spiritual realities in your material existence. As you affirm the beauty, peace, and goodness that already exist within in your life, your capacity to sense and understand their influence will become increasingly sophisticated. To meet your needs and achieve your desires, you need then only banish all thoughts of emptiness so that the energy of completeness can attract fullness into your being.
Goofer Dust
Goofer Dust
Goofer is a Kikongo word (kufwa) that means ‘to die’ or ‘to kill’ – this stuff ain’t for the faint hearted. Goofer dust is used to cause harm and illness, but can also be used to create domination over a loved one. Be under no illusions, as far as I am aware goofer dust is only ever used to cause harm.
Some of the ingredients you can use in goofer dust are graveyard dirt, dried ground snakeskin, sulphur, salt, ash, ground bones, powdered insects, herbs (mullein works well), spices, black or red pepper, magnetic sand and dried manure.
Goofer dust is used in much the same way as hot foot powder; it is foot track magick. Sprinkle the powder in the path of an enemy. The goofer dus is then taken up through their feet to do its work. Again, as with all powders, it can also be utilized by sprinkling on the victim’s clothing or bedding or added to a mojo bag or bottle and burried on their property.
Laying a trick with this powder is referred to as having ‘goofered’ someone i.e. cursed.
Using goofer dust in a love spell will cause the intended people pain and suffering in order to force them to submit to the will of the person laying the trick on them. This interferes with the free will of any person.
To counteract or reverse a goofering you can use spiritual washes, candle spells and uncrossing rituals.
Spring Break Horoscope 2014
Spring Break Horoscope
Provided by Fern Feto Spring
Looking for love, adventure, or parties this spring? The planets are shaping up a different scenario for each sign. What’s in store for you? Read on, and make the most of your well-earned vacation! The stars can show you the way to a vacation filled with fun and relaxation.
Aries
Aries, as a natural born leader, you don’t like to follow the crowd. Instead, try leading the way and creating your own vacation destination. Most well-known spring break locations are very crowded, and this is great if you’re looking for high energy, but if you are looking for something a bit more private and adventurous, go someplace less traveled and experience something different.
Taurus
Taurus, your grounded and home-loving nature may not take you to a faraway location, but you could still go to a local place you haven’t been before, especially if you are traveling with the right person. It’s not where you go, it’s who you’re with. This companion can make the less-than-stellar places great and the best places even better, so look for love to lead the way this spring break.
Gemini
Flirty and busy Gemini can’t resist the crowds and action on spring break. You’ll want to be where the biggest parties are pumping, but refrain from partying so much that you can’t see a real love connection when it is right in front of you. Go to where your communication skills are most appreciated and you may find someone special to talk to.
Cancer,
Imaginative Cancer, take that special someone on an unforgettable arts and culture-themed spring break so they will remember it for the rest of their lives. Anyone can find the hot spots, but you can create a getaway that refreshes the mind and spirit. You have the gift of adding romance and mystery to the mix, so make the most of it.
Leo
Dramatic and fun Leo, what would be more appropriate than entertaining others on your spring break? See if you can get a job or internship on a cruise ship, hotel, or comedy club. While you are exercising your best skills in public, that special audience member may pick you out of crowd and encourage you to put on a private performance.
Virgo,
Natural you will probably enjoy a peaceful and relaxing spring break more than partying hard with the rest of your friends. Indulge in a spa retreat or just pamper yourself at home. Remember that love often hides in quiet places, so stay away from the crowds on your vacation and look for romance at yoga retreats, book stores, and museums.
‘
Libra
Nothing refreshes Libra more than beauty and this can be manifested in a variety of forms. Try to spend your spring break vacation in a soothing environment that provides you with plenty of opportunities to get your beauty fix – get a new look at a high-end salon, go on a shopping spree at your favorite boutiques, or you could soothe your soul with a trip to the beach.
Scorpio
Intense, deep, and sexy Scorpio could easily get into a hot affair that lasts the entire spring break. Look for your partner in crime in a learning environment, and then invite him or her to disappear with you to someplace private. You won’t need anyone or anything else when you find that special person.
Sagittarius,
Adventurous wanderer Sagittarius, you don’t need set plans to take a journey, so throw caution to the wind and hit the road with no destination in mind. A road trip with no maps is perfect for you – just let your intuition guide you. Along the way, you may find a special person or even come to new realizations about yourself.
Capricorn
Studious Capricorn, you can use the upcoming weeks to catch up on your work and get prepared for the future. You’re best off saving up for a big vacation down the road than a substandard trip now. For you, being ready is more satisfying than having frivolous fun. Though some may mock you for not living life to the fullest, remember that you’ll be the one ahead of the pack in most ventures.
Aquarius
Quirky Aquarius, you love leading others into new and unusual adventures. This spring break, try organizing a fun event for your group of friends. As the master of ceremonies, you will be at the center of things, sharing your ideas and theories with everyone. The weirder your plan is the better because you like to shake things up.
Psychic Love Advice
Pisces
Fantasy, romance, and music rule your realm, Pisces, and the right combination of these three pastimes will turn your spring break into an affair to remember. Visiting an area known for its theater, amusements, or artistic events is your best bet. Bring someone who inspires you and reach a new height in your relationship through your shared experiences.
