Elder’s Meditation of the Day – March 7

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – March 7

“We are responsible for the condition of the Earth. We are the ones who are responsible and we can change that. If we wake up, it is possible to change the energy. It is possible to change everything.”

–Hunbatz Men, MAYAN

The environment we want outside will be created by the mental pictures we have inside our heads. We must have the right environmental picture as well as the right values. These values will give the mental picture its true meaning. If we respected Mother Earth, we would not throw garbage on Her, nor would we put poison in Her. We would not misuse Her in any way. Mother Earth is like She is today because of the mental pictures of previous generations as well as the mental pictures of our own generation. If we want the environment to change, each individual must change their mental picture. “As within, so without.”

Great Spirit, today, let me be alert to Your guiding voice.

March 7 – Daily Feast

March 7 – Daily Feast

The first thing in the morning when our feet touch the floor, our feelings begin to feed us impressions. Not only do they review our situation in a few seconds, they decide if this is a good day or if it should be one of anxiety. This is the precise time to hush feelings and paint the day the way we want it to be – not to be fed from the negative side. We tell the wrong impressions that they are not acceptable, that we feel different than we have in the past. This is a new day and we are free and happy, able to change what needs to be changed, to do what needs to be done. There are times when we must go against our own feelings and dictate what we will have, shaping and reshaping the hours as we see fit.

~ When I make peace, it is a long and lasting one. There is no end to it. ~

Daily OM for March 7th – Choose a positive outlook

Choose a positive outlook

Life will always challenge you, yet it never has to defeat you. Even when  things are extremely difficult, there is no good reason for despair.

In fact, your best choice is always a positive outlook. That is what will  give you the most power to deal with whatever life brings.

Yes, it is certainly possible that things could get worse. However, it is  just as possible, and much more preferable, that you act to make life  better.

The future hasn’t happened yet. A large part of the way it unfolds is up to  you, your attitude and your actions.

Make your future the best it can be by making your outlook the best you can  imagine. Though it can be easy to be discouraged based on past and present  experience, you have a much better choice.

Choose to look forward with the highest, most positive expectations. And get  busy bringing those high expectations fully to life.

The Daily OM for March 7th – Spider Energy

Spider Energy
Weaving Your Life

by Madisyn Taylor

The feminine energy of spiders reminds us that we have the ability to weave our lives into strong beautiful works of art.

We may not realize that the sight of a spider’s web glistening in the sun, the beads of morning dew catching the light to shine like diamonds on an intricate necklace, may carry a message for us. Their beauty belies their strength because though they are spun from thin strands of silk, they can hold the weight of the dew and capture nourishment in their nets as well. This paints an accurate picture of the traits of the weaver, the spider. Their feminine energy reminds us that we have the ability to weave our lives into strong, useful, and beautiful works of art. Though people may have an instinctive fear response to spiders, we can look beyond the physical instinct to understand the spiritual message they may be bringing us.

Among the various Native American traditions, spider medicine has been known to represent creativity. Her eight legs represent the four winds of change and the four directions on the medicine wheel, while her body is in the shape of the infinity symbol, which represents infinite possibilities. Spider was said to have woven the alphabet, creating the means for people to communicate and record their history through language. Just like the Greek myth of the Fates, three women who weave the tapestry of life, spiders are said to weave the creative forces that bring forth the intricately symmetrical patterns of our lives.

So if a spider has wandered into your line of sight, she may be bringing you one of several messages. She could be reminding you of the infinite possibilities you can draw from to create your life. Perhaps her message is to check your email or “the Web“ to see if communication you sent has captured something. You might even want to refer to old journals to look for patterns recorded in your personal history. As spider weaves her web, you too can weave your reality and your future. Her medicine could be reminding you that as the creator of your life you need to have the courage to reach out and create your own intricately beautiful and strong tomorrows. If you don’t pay attention, spider may feel the need to bite you to get your attention. If this happens, investigate what that part of the body represents to gain further information about your message from spider medicine.

Daily Feng Shui News for Mar. 7th – ‘World Day of Prayer’

Today’s ‘World Day of Prayer’ is one that’s after my own heart and soul, so I thought it apropos to follow suit and share a prayer for the entire planet. This prayer comes from angel archeologist and author Joann Cornug and it appeals to a band of angels called the ‘planetary intelligences.’ They are considered to be the guardians of our environment and when invoked will allow us all to live in harmony. The prayer is as follows: ‘I Am All This. I Am All This. I Am All This. The beginning is always now.’ You already know that you are alright. This prayer proves it.

Your Charm for Today

The Fish

The Fish is one of the most ancient of all charms, and was probably introduced into Europe from Alexandria. Originally the Fish was the symbol of the Egyptian goddess who controlled the rising of the Nile, which brought prosperity and abundance to Egypt. The Palm branch has been used from earliest times as an emblem of victory. The Crook was the symbol of the Good Shepherd who watches over the welfare of his sheep. The Ring (early Christian) was worn for success, protection, prosperity, riches, and happiness.

Otter represents one of the most playful feminine energies on earth—and she has swum over into your reading to bring a message of joyful play.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for March 7th is The Magus

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Magus

The Magus is the physical embodiment of decisive action based upon knowledge and aimed squarely at specific goals. Thoroughly Yang by nature and firmly set in the material world, he none-the-less has a powerful spiritual connection as well. His knowledge, wisdom and skill are all encompassing. He is complete. His power as a creator is unmatched on our earthly plane. He is self-aware and unafraid to act. His enormous strength gives him the freedom to act as he chooses. However, responsibility comes with that freedom. Because he is not bound to the restraints of others he must choose how to act. The question that always lies before him is should he act morally, or forsake ethics for personal gain.

As a daily card, The Magus suggest you currently possess a tremendous power and freedom to move your life in any direction you choose. In short, you can make things happen. Your true challenge at the moment is to move forward without trampling the dreams of others. Fortunately your moral fiber is strong as well, and will guide you down the right path.

Your Tarot Card for Friday, March 7th is The Hierophant

The Hierophant

Friday, Mar 7th, 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traditionally known as the Hierophant, this card refers to a Master and the learning of practical lessons from the study of Natural Law. This energy of this card points to some agent or resource that can reveal the secrets of life, the cycles of the moon and tides, the links between human beings and the heavens.

Because monasteries were the only places a person could learn to read and write in the middle ages, a Hierophant was one to whom a student would petition for entry. He was the one to set the curriculum for the neophyte’s course of study.

Often pictured with the right hand raised in blessing, the Hierophant is linked with the ancient lineage of Melchezidek, initiator of the Hebrew priestly tradition, the one who passes on the teachings. All shamans of any tradition draw upon this archetype.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, March 7th

We can feel the energy shift in a positive direction after several days of sluggish progress. Today’s breezy Gemini Moon sets the stage for a fast-paced day full of clever conversations and witty repartee. There’s no reason to stop talking now that there are four planets in mental air signs. Even Mercury adds fuel to our ingenious ideas. But with all our cerebral activity, retrograde Mars still makes it difficult to accomplish as much as we wish.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Setting priorities and focusing on the most important tasks first maximizes your productivity today. However, you may be fighting an uphill battle because the Gemini Moon tempts you to scatter your energy. Nearly every thought you have now inspires you, making it tough to complete anything before running off with another great idea. Thankfully, you can take control of your restlessness by consciously committing to finish whatever you start.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re excited about sharing a recent spiritual experience or an interesting dream with someone special. However, once you get started, you might say more than you initially intended. Ironically, you could use a lot of words now and still not tell your whole story. Omitting significant pieces of information is one way to avoid the truth. There’s nothing wrong with this evasive strategy if you promised to keep a secret for someone; however intentional forgetfulness just to save your own skin will lead to trouble.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re more responsive to others now that the Moon is back in your sign, but your coworkers may not fully understand your message. Your words are clear enough; however, your moods change so quickly that you might be on to feeling something new before you’re finished describing your previous emotion. Fortunately, no one needs to know about every single whim that crosses your mind. Your internal process can unfold on its own as long as you are attentive to those around you.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The words are running through your head so fast today that it’s challenging to find a place to jump in and start talking. Your fantasy life is very rich now, yet nearly everything feels too complicated to explain. It’s tough enough sharing even a simple idea. You might know what’s going on, but still may choose to remain silent. Trust your instincts and wait for just the right moment to tell everyone your thoughts.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You seem transparent to your friends now, but there’s more happening in your world than meets the eye. You’re not going out of your way to hide anything; it’s just that your words can’t quite describe the nuance of your feelings. It’s easier to throw yourself into work than share what’s on your mind. Everyone seems to appreciate that you’re putting in extra effort today, yet it’s the tangible projects that endure over the long run that truly count.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t want to reveal your true feelings today because you’re worried that others will sense your scattered energy. While the restless Gemini Moon could have you bouncing off the walls, you somehow manage to hide your high anxiety anyhow. You’re not likely to accomplish as much as you want now, but you’re not quite as unfocused as you think. Keep bringing your attention back to your current obligations, rather than losing yourself in a sea of distractions.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Don’t avoid confronting the source of your current tension just because it’s easy to escape from your mental struggles today. The Moon is visiting your 9th House of Travel now, indicating that distant horizons are the most attractive subjects of your fantasies. Your visions may be rather captivating, but real satisfaction requires you to work things out closer to home. You can be the king of the world in your dreams, yet it’s in your best interest to create a more honest relationship with reality.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sometimes, complicated issues are best met with simple solutions. Set aside the allure of unconventional emotional entanglements and avoid the intriguing possibilities of interactions that may never happen. Carefully steer clear of all drama now that doesn’t directly concern you. Although you’re tempted to spin tall tales today, you’re wise to keep things as uncomplicated as possible. Discretion is the better part of valor.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re alternately pulled between being quite serious and very silly today since the emotional climate changes on a moment’s notice. Both extremes make perfect sense, but only for a while and only one at a time. Keep in mind that your moods are more dependent than ever on those around you. Stay flexible now while openly responding to the current dynamics by sharing what’s in your heart.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your need to sort through all the information at work today could test everyone’s patience. This incoming mountain of data may create a rather delicate situation, especially if someone is waiting on your assessment. It’s not that you are any less reliable now; it’s just that you could take on more than you can finish. The smartest way to avoid unnecessary conflict is to set boundaries early in the day so you don’t make unrealistic assumptions and tempt others to have unreasonable expectations.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Managing your disappointment might require extra effort today, especially if you’re dealing with a variety of obstacles. Fortunately, your hope is buoyant and you know that things will only improve if you keep the faith. Your positive attitude could be enough to transform a difficult situation into an opportunity that ultimately works in your favor. Even if you can’t control the outcome, you’re still responsible for how you respond.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your tender heart inspires you to assist those less fortunate, but you may be required to contain your feelings today. Ironically, your current compassion might quickly lead you astray and provide a coworker with easy ammunition to put you in your place. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to help others as long as you meet your obligations first. Although it’s wise to acknowledge when your timing is off or your actions misguided, don’t waste energy apologizing again and again. It’s better to just work harder now than it is to harbor unproductive feelings of guilt later on.

Your Love Horoscope for the Weekend of March 7 – 9

Weekend Love Horoscope

March 7-9: Two Sides of a Coin

Maria DeSimone   Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

Romance might feel duplicitous early this weekend, but soon you’ll realize that it’s more a case of an overactive imagination than anything real to concern yourself with. The Moon will be in chatty Gemini on Friday and Saturday. An early morning run-in between the Moon and Neptune might leave you feeling unclear or have you question a situation in your love life. No worries — by the evening you’ll be fine.

In fact, you’ll likely enjoy plenty of signature Gemini intellectual stimulation with your lover by Saturday. In fact, this weekend will remind you that it’s important to get your sweetheart to weigh in on things so that “he said/she said” can become a fun bantering game rather than a frustrating battle of the sexes.

On Sunday, the Moon will enter Cancer, and emotions will go from lighthearted and jovial to hypersensitive. Fortunately, you’ll have a gorgeous opportunity to connect with your mate by being emotionally open and available. Love is always best when it comes straight from the heart

Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 7th

It would be great to report that yesterday’s nurturing and possibly euphoric shift by Jupiter into forward motion is clicking on all cylinders without interference. However, Venus, Saturn and Ceres attempt to crash the good-vibration party hosted by lofty Jove, King of the Gods.  A Venus-Saturn parallel (1:09AM) can send a temporary chill moving through love and money matters while Venus square Ceres (11:20AM) is a reminder to stay as productive as possible in your favorite arts, crafts and hobbies. Brainstorms can lift your consciousness to a higher place as the Moon in Gemini forms a supportive, 60-degree connection with Uranus in Aries (4:01PM). Think up novel ways to promote important literary, publishing or educational endeavors that have been on the back burner and waiting for an infusion of confidence. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Current Moon Phase for March 7 – Waxing Crescent

Crescent Moon

(waxing/42% of Full)

During this Moon phase, there is a slight slowing down of enthusiasm due to an emerging desire to produce tangible results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. There is still plenty of forward motion, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon phase favors gaining more information and the input of others to further your plans

The Witches Magick for March 7th – Love Attraction Mojo Bag

Love Attraction Mojo Bag  

Red flannel bag

2 small lodestones

Magnetic sand to cover the lodestones  

This love bag should be carried or worn close to the body, preferably touching the skin. It is used to attract real love to you, not to attract random partners for dating or having fun, but to find a true soul mate.

Additional items that may ge included in the bag are petition papers with the qualities yuo have and the qualties you seek in a soul mate, or the petal of a rose. If you choose to add petition papers, choose either red paper or red ink to make them.

To fix the bag, breathe onto it several times, you may add a personal prayer asking for a lover if you like, Venus may help you if you are sincere and deserving.

Feed the bag with Come to me Oil:

¼ ounce carrier oilo

3  drop sandalwood

3 drops rose

1 drop cinnamon

The bag may be fed with one drop of red wine as a representation of your blood.

Once you have found a lover, you may undo the bag, and bury the lodestones, together, in your backyard.
