Energy Gateway Tips for Chaotic Times  Connecting with the Sacred

In these chaotic and often intense times, it’s helpful to remember that positive transformation energies exist alongside the challenging ones. Example: many things in our outer world are in turmoil and uncertain. Despite this, we have an opportunity to regroup our energy and access a higher view with meditation and connecting with the sacred at the core of all things. When we do this, we bring wisdom and perspective to our experience.

On some days, like the upcoming 11/11 energy gateway and 11/18 new moon, we can benefit from additional spiritual openings and insights. New awareness can come to the surface, allowing us to see ourselves more clearly. In those moments, solutions for longstanding issues can come to light. Letting go of the old may be easier too, once we have recognized we are ready to move on and embrace new adventures.

The Sacred and Lightness of Being

Key to your progress now is staying present and conscious to what you are creating. There are many distractions and situations that could get you off track and unfocused – like dramas with people you know and on the world stage. Do your best to self-monitor where you put your energy. The more present you are, the easier it will be to pull yourself back from dramas so you can go within and connect with the sacred. A daily connection with the sacred helps you to bring a lighter energy into everyday things and interactions with others. Your life flows better, you feel more connected, and you have the inner resource to face difficulties.

Intend now that you will use the energies of this month to deepen your connection to the sacred and discover expanded ways to express your higher purpose for this life.

11/11 Next Weekend

Since it’s November with 11/11 next weekend, consider exploring sacred numbers and the symbolic importance the ancients applied in spiritual rituals and in the architecture of temples and pyramids. Chances are, you or your ancestors were alive during one of the great civilizations of Egypt or Greece, having utilized sacred symbols to mark a special day. Invite a knowing of this.

Meanwhile, trust that there is a reason for everything that unfolds, and that you can learn and grow even when you feel stuck and immobile. Use the vast amount of love and light

11:11 Gateway into Full Embodiment

Dear Ones,

From the beginning of time there have been clear moments when the Portals of Awakening open for those who are called. The 11:11 Gateway is a collective, high-vibrational opening to assist the evolution of consciousness on the Earth at this time. The new Light frequencies are enabling this 11:11 Gateway to open for you to move into your original blueprint, your most divine essence, represented through your Light Body, in oneness with All That Is.

We will offer suggestions and visualizations at the end of the message so your own guidance system can empower a Light-filled 11:11 Ceremony if you are unable to join with others. It is highly encouraged that you work with at least one other person in sacred ceremony to honor the 11:11 Portal in Time.

You have been coded within for this awakening moment. It is another step in your evolution, one with great power and support. The Archangels stand at the 11:11 Gateway to hold you in strength and courage. Those who are attracted to this time of Grace, can avail themselves of the opportunity to soar, greatly empowered by the Angelic Realms. This conscious dedicated action, in harmony with Divine Light, will accelerate the evolution of consciousness within your own life and on the planet now.

The powerful energies you have been experiencing in your lives and on the Earth since August have led to activations within your Light Body Field. The Archangels have been diligently involved and are creating greater awareness within you of the field of Light around your heart. As you know, there is a magnetic field around your heart that is in the shape of a Torus.

This sacred geometry creates a regenerating field of energy which you can purposely integrate into your heart chakra. Because of the auspicious nature of the frequencies the Earth is moving into, we have activated your Torus regeneration field to include Divine Love as the main tool of awakening your new life.

This field is the beginning point for your new Merkaba – the light body field that works for your spiritual growth and ascension. This activation strengthens your awareness of the freedom that is possible when you expand your heart energy and open these new high frequencies into the cells of your body.

Divine Union

The 11:11 Gateway opens the way to Divine Union within yourself. The Archangels stand ready to welcome you into the new creative power of exalted awareness. Retraining and guiding the fearful thoughts that may plague your days are only a prayer away. Each prayer raises your vibrational frequencies and could be the one that unleashes the critical mass for Spontaneous Evolution within your life and on the planet. Imagine that your prayer is the turning point – the key that fits the codes for your newly evolved Self.

For the past few months, the downloads of Light have been working to empower your light body. With the 11:11 gateway the integration of that Light Body will now be fully possible. The intentions you hold for this time of your life are paramount.

Remember that at your true core, you are a radiant being of Divinity. This connection is key for your new life unfolding. It is the expanding field that activates the corresponding codes which allow your light body to come into manifest form.

Regardless of the energetic manifestations, you have witnessed in your own life or in the world, this field has been developing. You are literally growing your divine human body from the inside out.

Anchor Love

Before walking through the 11:11 Gateway, know that the love you anchor in your heart is key to the activation of the light body field. Fully integrating Divine Love within your being is creating the resonance that opens the way to fully activating your Divine Human Form.

As you walk through the Archangel’s 11:11 Portal, you will be synchronizing both the higher and lower expressions of yourself to bring forth your most authentic, blended and empowered Divine Self. This is a connection to your Soul that will allow you to more fully access and express yourself with Grace and Ease, to bring forth your highest Soul’s Destiny.

Call in your Angelic support and know that you are being inspired, guided and led through the 11:11 Gateway with full honor and respect for all the work you have given to the world during this time of massive change.

A ritual prayer offering for your own personal ceremony of the 11:11

Divine Presence and the Archangels of Light:

As I prepare to be guided through this 11:11 portal of time, I ask that the Light of Divine Love clear any disharmony within my energy field. I willingly let go of the burdens of old beliefs so I may stand tall and move freely through the gateways to Unity Consciousness and into my new Light Body Field.

Within the spaciousness of my cleared energy field, I ask that it be filled with the power of Divine Love, Harmony and Unity Consciousness. I ask to receive and radiate the strength and courage to embody this Divine Light and ground the presence of Love and Healing energy into the Earth to assist its evolution.

I join with the Angelic forces and the millions of those who work in the Light of God, as we are led through the 11:11 Gateway. I know that as one is lifted up, all are uplifted. I allow new patterns of exalted Light frequencies to engage my human structure in the completion of my crystalline light body  Union within my being with the Divine.

I dance through the Light-filled gateways, feeling your guidance and knowing that loving awareness for new possibilities in my life is being provided in every moment, with every heartbeat. I awaken in your Light and embrace my Soul’s gifts being offered to me now with supreme gratitude. You are giving me the Divine Connection to greater life and I gratefully receive this. I am honored to anchor this Light into the Earth as the presence of Nature awaits my awareness.

Hold me with Love and guide me as I step through this gateway into the higher dimensions, where my most Divine Self awaits me. May I bring greater Life, Peace and Joy through my being and be a blessing for the Earth.

For these and all your blessings, I say Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

So be it, Be it so.

Your Cosmic Weather Report for Saturday, November 11th

Jane Lyle, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

Thought for November:

‘Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn’.

Elizabeth Bury Lawrence (1644-1720)

There’s A Lot Going On!

Without doubt, it’s a busy time in the cosmos. Here are three significant astrological signposts this weekend:

1) Saturn in Sagittarius trines Uranus in Aries for the final time

This refreshing and constructive link between sensible, mature Saturn and lively, inventive Uranus has been a key pattern during 2017. Its first exact appearance was on Christmas Day, 2016.

Saturn and Uranus are dancing around all month long, making this a potentially positive phase for new ideas, product launches, coming up with fresh, imaginative ways to look at old problems, or bring cutting edge ideas into practical reality.

Saturn and Uranus meet at 25 degrees, slowly moving apart until November’s end. If you have planets or points between 24 – 28 degrees in your own horoscope, you’re likely to be in a good place to blend old and new, or traditional and modern in some way that benefits you and others.

2) November’s Moon Wobble

Today, 11th November, we have a Moon Wobble, which is  – technically – when the Sun aligns in one way or another with the Moon’s Nodes. This time, the Sun is in Scorpio, squaring off with the Nodes in Leo and Aquarius.

Moon Wobbles signal upheavals, dramas, and turbulence – emotions can feel stronger, and logical thinking weaker in the days before, and for several days afterwards. So the wobbly window to watch is from around 8th November – 15th November.

It’s not really the right time for taking important decisions that will have a lasting impact on our lives. Our thinking may be out of synch with what’s favourable in the long run. Resolving to stay calm and open-minded is a helpful way to negotiate this bumpy phase. This could require some effort.

And, just as during eclipse seasons, a Moon Wobble also signifies stormy weather, wild weather events, and often highlights the awesome, dramatic powers of nature.

The Moon’s Mean Nodes are currently at 20 degrees of Leo and Aquarius.

 

3) Big Love – Venus conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio

It’s always a special moment when the goddess of love dances with the king of the skies. Here is Venus in Scorpio, meeting with Jupiter for a glimpse of graceful hope and joy in all our romantic and social relationships. And perhaps a little smouldering passion in the shadows too.

Yet, with planets in Scorpio there could be a sting in the tail, jealousy can expand as easily as affection – but not if we’re trying our best to be aware of what’s going on.

This can be a delightful time of serendipity, so do watch for little opportunities or chance encounters – what develops from these could be very favourable to you, or even offer ways to increase your income. Scorpio is a financial sign, and Venus rules money – sometimes Venus in Scorpio likes to say ‘ker-ching’.

Financial affairs linked to foreign investments, overseas projects, or foreign business partners should thrive at this time.

Venus and Jupiter can also be giddily extravagant and hedonistic, so possibly this isn’t the ideal time to go shopping. Why not enjoy some sumptuous art, a pleasurable experience, or a stunning landscape instead?

Venus and Jupiter align between 5 – 7 degrees of Scorpio. If you have planets, points, or angles at those degrees in Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn or Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces in your own personal horoscope you may sense this seductive energy more than most.  If you have planets in Leo or Aquarius, this could be a pivotal moment for you.

Venus and Jupiter align in Scorpio between 11th and 13th November.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, November 9th

Aries

Aries
Aries

There is pleasant intensity in your relationships and interactions today, and there may be helpful resources coming your way, dear Aries. It’s an excellent time to investigate a matter further. However, as the day advances, your focus tends to diffuse. Be wary of giving off mixed signals. The temptation may be to push when someone backs away or to retreat when someone pushes you. This is not the best time for healthy relating patterns, but consider that you might only need some personal space to get in better touch with what you actually want. Plans may not move ahead just ahead, and that’s okay now. You’re in a good headspace overall.

Taurus

Taurus
Taurus

The morning is excellent for getting to the heart of a matter, dear Taurus. Pluto helps to boost your sense of purpose as it forms a harmonious aspect to the Sun in your partnership sector. You may very well feel more purposeful through a significant other now. As the day advances, you need some rest or a break from action. Uncertainties with a friend or co-worker can be vague yet on your mind. While in a general sense you should watch that friendships don’t dissolve through unintentional neglect, if some friendships are changing or ending, this may be due to evolving interests. And, some ups and downs are not something to worry about unless the “downs” are growing to disproportionate levels. Watch also for slip-ups on the job due to distraction or daydreaming.

Gemini

Gemini
Gemini

Relationships are mutually beneficial this morning, dear Gemini. You’re in good shape for applying wisdom and experience to manage a situation. As the day advances, while it’s likely to get busier, it can also be less decisive or clear. This is due to a Mars-Neptune influence that has us questioning our actions. It’s, in fact, a useful slowdown moment – it’s a good time to reassess things or merely take a bit of time to understand what it is you truly want. Consider that it can be all too easy to believe what you want to believe (or fear) about a career or romantic matter today. It is also possible that you’re on the fence about an issue. Even if it’s uncomfortable, try to stay on that fence for the time being. You may very well need some time to process things before moving on.

Cancer

Cancer
Cancer

When it comes to a close relationship, if appreciation is due, it’s a great time to show it this morning, dear Cancer. Through a relationship or accomplishment, you can enjoy a nice confidence boost now. The Moon moves out of your sign this morning and into your resources sector, and you begin to seek out some order and predictability. As the day advances, clarity can fall by the wayside, however, and it’s best to accept this rather than fight it. Sometimes we benefit from some reassessment or slowing down, and this can be the time for doing so. Family or a home matter may involve confusing elements which can undermine your confidence or your overall happiness temporarily. Do what you can to uncomplicate your life by clearing your mind and possibly your schedule.

Leo

Leo
Leo

The Moon in your sign from the morning onward gives you visibility today, dear Leo, and a Sun-Pluto aspect this morning adds extra depth. It can also serve to boost your confidence. It’s a good time for new ideas and accomplishing more than usual. You might decide to rid yourself of something that’s outlived its usefulness since it’s easier to part with things now than it is on another day. As the day advances, you’d benefit from letting go a little, however. Uncertainty is likely, and this tends to heighten the more we push something that can’t be pushed. Money or intimate matters can be confusing now, and it’s best not to bank on something (or lend and borrow) until you have a better sense of what’s happening.

Virgo

Virgo
Virgo

You could discover a project that genuinely absorbs your attention this morning, dear Virgo, and you can make significant progress. Don’t be afraid to show your creative side now. While you’re decisive and clear this morning, as the day advances, you may want to let go of overthinking or, temporarily, of ambitious projects. However, acting on a whim may not have especially desirable results, either, as you may not be entirely in touch with your desires and timing is slightly off. In addition, others may not be clear with you today. Whether deception is intentional or unintentional, or if it involves self-deception, there is a confusing element now that may require a slowdown. It may also be best to avoid significant purchases. The Moon moves into your introspective solar twelfth house this morning, which gives you another hint to take things easy – relax, decompress, and have back at it tomorrow.

Libra 

Libra
Libra

This morning, you may come across information that helps you feel more comfortable, respected, or secure, Libra. Continuing from yesterday, you see your priorities clearly. You’re in good shape to adjust your plans so that they more accurately reflect who you are today. As the day advances, you may want to slow down and allow for some uncertainty. A Mars-Neptune aspect suggests that you don’t have all the answers just for now, and you may have been pushing your desires a little too hard. Energy levels may be below par quite suddenly, but this could also be a signal that you are not as sure as you think you are, and you need to keep things simple for the time being. Taking a short breather can help clarify things for you.

Scorpio

Scorpio
Scorpio

There is continued good energy for you to straighten out your life in some way this morning, dear Scorpio, as you feel compelled to take action to correct things that have been making you unhappy. Improvements made now are likely to be significant and lasting. Later today, take a sudden lack of energy or delay as a sign that your plans need refining, however. Life can feel more complicated, or you may feel a little drained and lacking purpose temporarily. Adjustments may need to be made to a creative project, or delays in a romantic relationship need to be dealt with and accepted. This is a time for reflecting a little before moving your plans forward.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius
Sagittarius

This morning, you enjoy continued sharp focus, dear Sagittarius. You might gain new and valuable insight into a money or business matter, or you get a fresh look at an old problem that empowers you. Later today, however, a Mars-Neptune aspect points to the need to let some things go. You could feel a little frustrated with stop-and-go energy that doesn’t suit your style. You prefer to have everything out in the open, but the day asks you to adopt a “wait and see” approach. You might find it challenging to depend on others’ actions or words, or some insecurity might keep you at home or in limbo instead of out and about. Allow yourself the extra rest you need, if this is possible, as you simply require a breather.

Capricorn

Capricorn
Capricorn

You can be quite persuasive early today, dear Capricorn. You have more influence than usual. You’re in a good position to feel stronger through your connections as well as for investigating a matter further and gaining some critical insight. As the day advances, things seem less certain, and this suggests it’s better to rest and reflect than to push ahead. Be more precise than usual in any business or even personal communication to avoid overcommitting. Take advantage of a Saturn-Uranus aspect coming into influence that helps you feel more confident about bringing your ideas to fruition, particularly related to home and family.

Aquarius

Aquarius
Aquarius

The morning is excellent for investigating a matter further, dear Aquarius, and it makes sense, as a result, to tackle the harder jobs or to manage an issue that requires more focus than usual. You have a compelling desire to resolve problems and little patience for waiting things out. However, as the day advances, some uncertainty is likely, and it’s best to avoid pushing forward against resistance. Some reflection is in order. Money matters can be unclear or complicated temporarily, particularly those connected to travel or educational pursuits. Avoid signing contracts or making solid travel plans just for the time being. Indecision about where you are going in a general sense is likely now. However, you benefit from a Saturn-Uranus influence active this week that gives you a general sense of progress.

Pisces

PIsces
Pisces

If you’ve traveled a little off course in pursuit of a long-term goal or dream, dear Pisces, circumstances are such this morning that you clearly see what you can improve, and you’re on it! As the day advances, it’s best to take your foot off the accelerator as a Mars-Neptune challenge favors slowing down and getting in better touch with our desires before going forward. You may, in fact, all too easily draw and attract situations, people, or things that drain you or leave you feeling confused. It can be challenging to feel purpose or direction for an extended period now. Just when you possess the drive to go towards something, it either becomes elusive, or you question whether you want it. Use this time for creative instead of practical activities as much as possible.

 

If You Were Born Today, November 9

You are an articulate, sensitive, and intuitive person. You can also be quite stubborn! Your mind is such that you absorb a lot of diverse information and you can be a jack of all trades. You are a true problem solver. Your sarcastic sense of humor can be biting at times. Not everyone knows that it hides a sensitive, self-protective soul. You can easily get yourself into a rut because of your rather fixed, stubborn nature. Famous people born today: Lou Ferrigno, Carl Sagan, Dorothy Dandridge, Spiro Agnew, Anne Sexton, Analeigh Tipton, Scottie Thompson.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

With the Sun and Moon in harmony in your Solar Return chart, the year ahead should be satisfying and balanced overall. You are in comfortable demand and personally popular, and you are able to achieve a decent balance between work and play; personal and professional life. For the most part, you are on top of your game this year, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there is less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!

Jupiter transits conjunct your Sun this year, expanding your opportunities and boosting your confidence. This transit brings more awareness of moral issues and long-term goals, as well as a stronger than usual desire to improve and learn. This is a feel-good transit that boosts your popularity. Optimism is with you, and you are able to attract fortunate circumstances into your life as a result. Problems are easier to resolve this year. You are more sociable and might meet especially helpful people during this period. Travel opportunities are more likely. Your broader perspective on matters this year keeps you from getting lost in details or overly frustrated by everyday stresses and strains.

This is a strong period for strengthening and supporting others as well as for building trust. Mutually beneficial relationships are in focus. This can be a pleasantly ambitious period.

There can be helpful interactions with superiors or with older or more experienced people during this period, and benefits can come as a result. There can be a choice to structure, limit, or simplify your life in a significant way that leads to major improvements in your life.

Pleasing circumstances surrounding your love life, finances, and creative pursuits are in store this year. You are more generous, and others return the favor. You might receive financial backing or special gifts in the period ahead. You seek a little more from your love life and you are likely to receive it. Some of you could fall in love this year, or existing relationships are enhanced. Adventure-seeking is a theme.

Developing existing businesses is highly favored this year. You’re in excellent shape for editing, refining, and overhauling your work and projects. Long-term alliances can be made this year. This is a potentially excellent year for making prosperous connections.

This is an excellent period for enjoying new opportunities, experiences, and perspectives. Your faith increases and you seek out more meaning from your life. You’re in good shape for staying on track and meeting your responsibilities as well, but you need to make extra time for downtime. Useful contacts can be made during this period.

2017 is a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time when you find it natural and easy to enjoy life and other people. The focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure than you are in other years. It’s likely to be a rather lighthearted year when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a favorable year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out and connect but avoid scattering your energies.

2018 will be a Number Four year for you. Ruled by Uranus. This is a year of work and development. It’s “nose to the grindstone” time. It’s a time to pay special attention to practical matters, and it’s not a time to be lazy or especially gregarious. Sometimes, it can be a year that feels hard, monotonous and routine, and/or lonely. Positive new relationships are often not formed in a Four personal year. However, it can be a wonderful year for building, development, and laying a solid foundation for future successes. Advice – get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, November 10th

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Close ones are pressuring you because they can see that a certain situation is making you unhappy. All you can see and feel is the anxiety it is causing. Use today to step away and look at the bigger picture.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
The way you look at life is changing and many of you bulls may in fact be thinking of making some of your most dramatic moves you’ve made in years. You won’t be doing it alone though, which makes this week’s events all the more interesting.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Some of the signs really do seem to be speaking for the sake of it. Try not take what others say too much to heart, especially if you know it has been said on impulse. Group events make your career a more interesting place to be.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
Try distressing your life by de-cluttering. Many of you Cancerians have been gathering things you don’t really need in the home. Getting rid of them can help you see what you really need materially and emotionally.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
You have gone through so many emotions that you are finding it hard to know which are real and which you are imagining. Children bring clarity and wise words. Sometimes it takes a fresh mind to see what older faces can’t.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
You may not realise it, but subconsciously you have been building a base and it’s a good one. You didn’t know why you felt more secure, but when you look around today you will see why. You will also see what you no longer need.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Could a friendship be something more? This is something your sign is likely to have asked themselves before in the past. Take your time. Patience will give you true answers.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
You say you want changes, but do you know what these changes are? You’ve been listening to what others tell you that you need. Use the wise attitude of Saturn, he is offering to help you find the answers in your own heart.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
There’s an urgent need in your chart to make extra funds. You are trying to find ways to make your options more flexible. You can and you will, you just have to relax if you want to convince others you are worth trusting in.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
I know you are a sign who needs to be loved unconditionally. However, your communication skills need working on. Listening when others talk is the best starting point you will find.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Do you think you have been acting spoilt? Or do you think you needed to be this dramatic to get the attention of those around you? I think you need to stop and wait for others to make the next move.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
Positive anything is better than a negative nothing. Stay away from people and situations that give nothing back, before you become addicted to this pain.

 

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Hermit



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

Your Personal Daily Love Tarot Card

The Fool

You deserve a partnership that deepens as you get to know each other. Wait for the person who has risen above commitment immaturity if commitment is your desire. The Fool reminds us that dating someone is not a mistake. It is falling in love and marrying them if it is not right. If your long-term relationship is encountering a difficult patch, now is the time to work together to rebuild.

Your Personal Daily Erotic Tarot Card

The Judgement

The Judgement card indicates that you’ve had some sexual hang-ups in the past, but you’re working toward getting over them. This is a period of transition, and although you’re doing the work, you may not be getting the exact results you desire. Forgive yourself for past missteps in order to take a sexual step forward today. Being afraid to express your true erotic self can even effect other areas of your life, so getting beyond your sexual inhibitions translates into a happier overall existence.

Psychic Tip of the Day

NEW SURPRISE
Your first big shock of the new year has arrived. It could be a welcome relief, but you may not know what to do with it. Were you expecting company?

Your Animal Spirit for Today

Porcupine

Porcupine has appeared in your reading today to bring a message of innocence and trust. Although Porcupine can throw quills when cornered, he is gentle, loving, and non-aggressive. Is there an area of your life that need Porcupine energy? Have you lost the ability to trust??

Brace yourself. The number 3 as it appears for you today signals that your spirit guides are close by, eager to help you with your needs. You have been on a path of taking care of yourself and your efforts are being rewarded. They have always been there, but you are in a position to sense them more now. Ask them for help with anything. Your mind, body, and spirit are integrated into a seamless unit. You are one with the Universe. Let the Universe benefit you as you send out your own positive energy.

Your Daily Charm

Today’s Meaning:
A course of events that cannot be altered has been set in motion within this aspect. Accept whatever happens in the near future and do not waste your time fretting about it–you can do nothing.

General Description:
This was a favorite charm in Egypt, worn in order to frustrate magicians, sorcerers and evil wishers from bewitching the wearer and stealing the soul from the heart; for it was the general belief that if the soul left the heart, the body would soon fade away and perish. The ancient Egyptians also believed that, after death, the heart was taken, in the underworld, and weighed against the symbols of the law; if found perfect, it was restored to the body, which at once came to life again and enjoyed everlasting felicity.

Crack the Cookie

The Wisdom of Buddha

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

A Little Humor for Your Day

Your Monthly Horoscopes for November 2017

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

It would serve you very well indeed to keep a sense of humour to the fore this month. Close ones seem to enjoy giving you the run around. What you’re about to find out though, is that you hold the power to make your own decisions. Don’t ignore this fact, but use it to get what you could not obtain last month. News of a baby links to major changes which should give you more ability to see what has really been going on in the lives of your close ones this year.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

Family have not been easy to deal with and you may have had to pay out for something or someone that was not your responsibility. Games are being played in love, but it’s vital that you don’t join in with them. Your house of work is full of opportunity but you may be required to pay for something you don’t feel is your responsibility. By the 22nd you will realise why it is worth doing so.  An ex is on your mind for all the wrong reasons. Beware of getting in contact until you can work out why you are thinking about them.

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

You begin this month with the Moon trying to convince you to get back in contact with those from your past. You will learn over the course of this month that you have friends and supporters in high places who are ready, willing and able to help you shape your life to your true needs and desires. Jealousy in love mid-month could well be your undoing if you’re not careful. Know how far is too far to go when making accusations you have no proof of. It is clear from the placing of Mercury in your chart that your imagination is working overtime.

 

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

With your house of love looking full of mischief, yours is the sign others will be watching. Just make sure you know what to keep behind closed doors, remember what happened last year Cancer! The chance to try your hand at something you had given up is looked upon favourably by the stars. In fact, the majority of your sign should be feeling full of fresh hope and inspiration. Don’t entertain the childish behaviour of family any more. Back away until they learn how to behave.

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

You have been focusing on the little things and ignoring the big things. It’s time to bring your life back into some semblance of order. You know exactly who has been taking advantage of you and it’s time to put your foot down. Time spent going over paperwork and financial figures between the 12th and 18th can help you turn an average month into an above average one. Friends turn into lovers for some of your sign and November marks a time where you no longer worry about what looks right, only what feels right.

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

I see from your stars you have had so much to cope with lately. Luckily for you, help is on hand from the 5th and you see the return and support of those who last month were ‘otherwise engaged.’ Knowing what you want from your career can help you skip the queue between the 20th and 28th. You find out you have friends in high places and no longer have to do things in the way other expect. If you were hoping to tie up a deal then this is the time you should do it.

 

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

With the relationship sector of your chart demanding more of your time and attention, you are going to be feeling the need for questions and answers. Try not to accuse close ones of things you have no proof of, or it could well be your undoing. Knowing where you need to be professionally, can go a long way to you improving your reputation and repairing that damage caused last month. Your daily routine is under constructive change and you start to realise you want to and can simplify your life.

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

Don’t ask for things you don’t actually want just to test close ones. It would be far better for you to relax into November and just to wait and see what each day will bring. Unexpected travel after the 19th makes this a month you will not forget in a hurry. You’ll be making new friends which will last a lifetime and which are sure to lead to some unforgettable travel in the months ahead. Jupiter helps you to replenish missing funds. Just be careful of lending money to family. You are unlikely to get it back when they say.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

This is an excellent week to try and break bad habits. The stars are on your side for successful outcomes. I know that you have a full social calendar, but don’t you want to arrange some downtime to think about the path you want your career to take? Taking time out to focus on yourself is the key to you feeling more confident about where your life is going. An argument in the family around the 25th should not really concern you. Try not to get involved if you don’t have to. A more psychic nature for the last three days of the month tells you much.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Try not to tell tales on your close ones or it will come back on you. It would be far better for you to spend your time on tying up the many loose ends which October left for you. Trips you make for personal reasons make you very emotive and force you to do a lot of soul searching. Try to be more honest with yourself my friend. It is the only way your heart can give your head the answers it needs. Don’t be afraid to commit to training which will benefit your career. Mars sees you like a sponge absorbing facts this month.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

Stop leaving such important tasks until the last minute, or you will cause yourself unnecessary stress. Your sign is known for their ability to handle more than one thing at once. Try to make a game plan for yourself sooner rather than later and you’ll soon see that you’re firmly back in the driving seat. A new attraction after the 17th makes you question what you thought you wanted from your personal life. Take your time, there is much for you to learn this month before you make any permanent personal decisions my friend.

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

An unpredictable mood is making it hard for you to know what you want or who you should trust. Try to trust in yourself and what you want. You have put your own needs to one side for so long that you have forgotten how to make yourself a priority. Preparation is everything in your work over the coming days and weeks so make sure you go over what you know, even if you think you are well prepared. It’s the key to you coming across as the ultimate professional. Travel plans you make for the end of this year say a lot about where you want your future to lead.

 

Your Dark Stars: Horoscopes for November 2017

Jane Lyle, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

ARIES
Do you have a quirky goal or unusual ambition? Are you and a group of friends trying to achieve something special? If so, now’s the time to focus on whatever is close to your heart, and ignore those who’re trying to rain on your parade. And, of course, with Mars in your opposite sign, Libra, you’ll have to find tactful ways to deal with your critics, and subtle ways to sidestep anyone who is actively trying to block your progress. Mid-November could be particularly irksome, while a stand-off at the end of the month is also dramatic – yet could be avoided if you resolve to remain icily calm – easier said than done, admittedly. An old lover or friendly ex-partner could turn out to be very helpful to you at this time. Perhaps there’s still a little spark there? Meanwhile, some heartening financial news, offers of support, or a shy, new admirer promise to put a smile on your face.

TAURUS
Much of November is all about other people. How do you feel about your relationships? How do others feel about you – do you have any idea? For some of you the possibility of a shimmering romance is deeply alluring. Your more poetic side is activated by November 4th’s powerful Taurus full Moon, a Moon of strong feelings,  deep attractions, music and cake. This theme also activates your intuition and artistic flair, something you’ll want to pursue now, and during the year ahead. Your challenge is to keep things flourishing in a creative, spiritual sense while avoiding anything involving dubious get-rich-quick schemes or risky liaisons with strangers. Something magical could appear mid-month, when Venus and Jupiter align – do welcome whatever arrives on your doorstep, but don’t feel bad if you want to take a little time to process your thoughts and feelings. It’s the right thing to do.

GEMINI
Thought-provoking conversations and surprising news are sprinkled throughout November.  But you may not know what you really think until things come to a head at the Gemini full Moon in early December. Mars in charming Libra is boosting your creative, playful side – and if you’re single some exciting attractions could pop up out of nowhere. Some of you fancy taking a few risks – if these involve any kind of financial gamble, take great care and be exceedingly cautious. Meanwhile, other interesting possibilities are brewing as you question current goals, and review the way you earn your living. There are lucky chances around, especially if you want to explore a wider world – perhaps through travel, perhaps by extending your knowledge and skills. Saturn leaves your opposite sign, Sagittarius, next month. So it’s a useful time to think about where you are with your partnerships, longstanding friendships, and commitments. What would you like to nail down, and what would you like to change in 2018?

CANCER
Deep feelings and a delicious kind of restlessness rise up with the potent full Moon in Taurus on 4th November. It illuminates neglected parts of your imagination, reminding you just how fabulously intuitive you really are. This is more than just a passing mood, for with Jupiter now in Scorpio you’ll benefit from a fertile year of enhanced spiritual, romantic, and creative energy. There’ll be all sorts of domestic things to sort out now, and chances are you’ll be more involved with visitors and neighbourhood projects than usual. These familiar distractions cannot prevent you from sensing a shift in your world. Those feelings, subtle at first, strengthen as the weeks pass. So if you’d like to make changes to your intimate life, your artistic outlets, or your relationships with family and children – a clear Scorpio new Moon (18th) might be a positive time to set your intentions – if only in private. There’s no rush – why not just feed your imagination and see what happens?

LEO
Happiness lurks close to home in November. It’s a fortunate time for home improvements, or setting up a home office. But digging a little deeper, you could find inspiration in your family, or unearth a fascinating story about an ancestor. Whatever you discover this month can be the start of a new journey, as the planets encourage you to dabble in a little alchemy and learn how to blend what’s established with what’s unusual and different. A spirit of adventure refreshes relationships too – and some of you could find a very different kind of friendship or love affair this month. November’s full Moon in Taurus (4th) brings something to a head at work, or encourages you to focus on your goals – do they still matter, or are you in the mood for something fresh or unexpected? What surfaces now hints at a fork in the road ahead. When Uranus enters Taurus next May it’s opening a phase of change for your life direction and even your status. Coming events cast their shadows before them.

VIRGO
Your conversations and communications this month are way more entertaining and informative than usual. It’s quite amazing what you can find out, or how a casual chat can lead on to all manner of things – including boosting your income, finding a hot date, or finally tracking down a reliable plumber or electrician. Venus and Jupiter in Scorpio encourage you to use your wit and charm – so whether you’re on social media, or applying for a job, your subtle charisma can attract many positive situations and some magical, mystical people too. Since Mercury will be retrograde in December, you might like to strike while the cosmic iron is hot. Otherwise, you should be prepared to review things next month. If you want to plan a trip, or if someone is planning a journey to come and visit you, it’s worth making meticulous arrangements now. Mercury will be backtracking from 3rd – 23rd December in travelling Sagittarius, just in time for the festive season. So it’s worth having a Plan B up your sleeve, just in case.

LIBRA
With Mars in Libra you’ll want to get things moving. But tread softly – there’s no need to push too hard. You’ll only come up against the law of unintended consequences if you do – particularly between 15th-20th and again at the end of November. Others can send your best-laid plans flying – so it’s better to prioritise teamwork and bide your time. Your ruler, Venus, smoulders in Scorpio during November, bringing a focus on cash and values. That’s a major year-long theme anyway, thanks to Jupiter – when the two meet up mid-month you could benefit from a little windfall or some artistic and romantic inspiration. Avoid speculation though –  instead, why not try opening up to some higher thoughts and spiritual vibrations? With an open mind, you’re in a great position to benefit from exciting ideas and possibilities that crop up in conversations or during short trips. An old friend or contact could really surprise you, in a good way too. Take care of your wellbeing, keep options open, and enjoy a thought-provoking month.

SCORPIO
Your uncanny ability to sense any disturbance in the force is both strong and spooky this month, with planets and a new Moon in Scorpio strengthening your mind, body, and spirit. It’s a fortunate beginning to your astrological year ahead. Jupiter is now in your sign, bringing a year of expansiveness and all manner of possibilities. Your challenge is to refine your sense of timing, and listen carefully to your intuition. Jupiter and Neptune will be boosting our sensitivity to all things mysterious, musical, and creative now, and during much of 2018. So what you have to offer is likely to be very popular – whether that’s your imagination, quiet loyalty, or fearless emotional depths. You’ll be right in tune with the times. Others may have important things to say to you early in November, and you might need to win them over. But with Venus in Scorpio, your charisma should dazzle – particularly between 16th – 21st. Use it wisely, and use it well.

SAGITTARIUS
Saturn is coming to the end of his visit to Sagittarius, moving to Capricorn in late December. So it might be helpful to look at what you’ve learned over the past couple of years. Some of you may have felt restricted in some way, while others have worked very hard without gaining huge rewards. Yet the foundations you’ve created during this time are solid as a rock, and you’ll be able to build on them and reap rewards in the future – what you’ve established will endure. There’s a lively, flirty social atmosphere on and off this November, with enough to keep you amused. However, with your mighty ruler, Jupiter, in Scorpio now you’ll want to explore your more intuitive, sensitive side too. Paying attention to gut feelings and vivid dreams will guide you towards all manner of interesting possibilities, and perhaps prompt some new routines designed to boost mind, body, and spirit. It doesn’t have to be complicated – a daily walk or some meditation could be all you need to unlock your inner treasure chest.

CAPRICORN
Changes in how you deal with your home or family are partly out of your control. And some of your feelings, questions, and ideas haven’t been clear. But if you’ve been puzzling over what to do next, you can expect enlightenment this month when Saturn meets innovative Uranus for the final time. Your ideas may surprise you, or others. Meanwhile, much that’s creative, romantic, or even spiritual is waiting for you to notice its dreamy presence in your world. It may be hard to find a space, but it’s worth making the effort, particularly at the romantic full Moon in Taurus on 4th November. Although Mars in Libra brings action and focus to your career and your desire to forge ahead, you may find yourself questioning your current aims and ambitions. Talking to close friends will help, as will tuning in to your own instincts. As you approach the arrival of Saturn in Capricorn in December, you’re crossing a bridge into a pivotal new phase of life. Taking the time to carefully consider all your options now is the first step.

AQUARIUS
Thinking and talking about your personal world is highlighted this month. Everything from friendships to your parents – and even ancestors – seems to have a deeper meaning, or a message for you. Take it step by step, and bounce ideas and notions around a bit. What you discover has a part to play in decisions you make about your home, your ambitions, and your desire to understand how you arrived at your current situation in life. Something demands attention at home early in November, with the full Moon in Taurus. However, with a new Moon in Scorpio on 18th, you don’t need to rush into any new projects or make sudden moves – adjustments will be needed, or compromises made. With Uranus, your ruler, reversing in Aries until January 2nd, you’ll see that the past, and certain charming individuals from the past, has a vital role to play in current events. Unexpected insights or news at the end of November make it clear that flexibility is your key to finding peace of mind, happiness, and success.

PISCES
You’ve got plenty of strong, emotional support around you this month with Sun, Venus, and generous Jupiter in Scorpio. If you’d like to explore new skills, knowledge, or plan a special trip – now’s an excellent time. And even if your desires are less focused, you’ll benefit from seeing a movie with friends, or listening to music you’ve never heard before. You might even find a new friend, or romantic possibility. Feeding this side of your complex personality is healing and energising – you may have neglected it this year. Saturn in Sagittarius has brought responsibilities and hard work, and for some of you it has been difficult to see much beyond the daily grind. But Saturn is on the move, heading for Capricorn in December. Bit by bit this will change your focus and attitude towards goals and ambitions – and you’ll see just how much you have achieved too. Jupiter in Scorpio will be encouraging you to dream of far horizons until next November – so why not free your visionary Piscean spirit and go on a quest?

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, November 4th

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Your ability to make changes quickly when under pressure has been, and will continue to be, your saving grace. Be careful telling tales on those you work with. You may have to work closer to them than you think in the future.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
If you think you can, you will and if you think you can’t, you won’t. Having faith in what you want will help you to keep centred. It will also ensure you don’t get led astray by someone you’ll soon realise is a negative influence.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Don’t talk down to those you meet today. You won’t realise it, but there’s an arrogant side to your chart this week which could see you making enemies of those you have only just made up with.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
You’ve attracted such a vast array of characters into your life. There will be an opinion for all subjects if you need it. The most important question is love, but you’re the only one who can answer that, from your heart and lips.

 

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
Money matters come to the fore. You find yourself arguing over the little details instead of the big ones, as certain characters try to lead you away from the mistakes they have made. Make your own plans and trust your own instincts for answers.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
You begin to feel more contented with your life and where it’s going. However, you’re still being too easily ruled by those you feel indebted to. Make a break. Be a leader not a follower. New career options are about to make you smile.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Make more of an effort to listen when others speak today. There is much you can and will learn. A new flirtation links to the workplace, so make sure you know what you want from it before you end up with an ‘awkward atmosphere.’

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Love and hate can sometimes be very close together for you, too close for comfort even. Try to take a step back today and look at things from other people’s perspectives. You will soon see you have more reason to make up than fall out. Ring now for a relationship revelation.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
Try not to say negative things about those you meet, but instead work on finding out why they have said or done the things that you can’t stop thinking about. Fellow Sagittarians help you blow off some much-needed steam. Seek them out.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Our life is what our thoughts make it. You have spent far too long trying to please other people. Your element of earth has pushed you into trying to make sure everyone else is ok before you are.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Open your eyes. See the truth of the situation before you. An air sign such as yourself should have learnt by now that no situation is straight forward. Being flexible is what will make your journey a more exciting one.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
Make the effort to re-read any forms or documents, especially those that will require your signature. You make friends in high places and you learn where you were going wrong in a financial issue.

 

If You Were Today, Saturday, November 4th

You possess a versatile and creative mind, yet you have a strong appreciation for concrete results. Although you indulge in the pleasures of life, you are also very hard-working and take much pride in your work and in your hobbies. You deal with pressures rather well, and you are able to right yourself quickly when things do go wrong. Inside, you are passionate and ardent. Your sensitivity and your emotional nature are not very apparent on the surface of things. You have the ability to stick to a project and make sure it functions properly. Determined and quietly bold, you have what it takes to succeed in life. Famous people born today: Matthew McConaughey, Sean Combs, Walter Cronkite, Laura Bush, Loretta Swit, Markie Post.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

A Full Moon in your Solar Return chart marks this as a year of great personal significance, when major new beginnings, endings, and activities occur. This period is the culmination of a stage of personal growth and development. Events occurring this year may bring various developments in your emotional, psychological, or spiritual life over the past several years to a head. Relationships are especially important. There can be increased activity in your professional and public life, causing a conflict with your domestic and personal goals. There is little moderation in your life this year. Connections are made or ended, or your job focus may change as one focus fades to make way for a new direction. The year ahead is certain to be a very busy, dynamic, and significant period in your life.

You can be feeling good about your work, obligations, and commitments, which are seen not as burdens, but rather as purposeful activities. Independent work is favored this year. You are more disciplined and efficient.

This is also an excellent period for opening up communications with others, as you are more sensitive than usual and more willing to listen. Getting your point across is easier, as it’s not only about what specific words you choose to communicate, you intuitively express the meaning and intention behind the words. You can effectively use words to soothe, heal, and teach this year. You are also more open to new ways of looking at problems, thus it’s considerably easier to find solutions.

You have a larger than usual desire to improve and learn during this period of your life. Optimism and confidence are with you, and you are able to attract fortunate circumstances into your life as a result. Problems are easier to resolve. Your broader perspective on matters keeps you from getting lost in details or overly frustrated by everyday stresses and strains.

There can be ups and downs in your personal relationships and romantic attachments at times this year, but ultimately your social or romantic life settles in. The same may be true of finances for many. Destabilizing circumstances can be part of the picture, but these motivate you to improve and level out your situation.

There can be helpful interactions with superiors or with older or more experienced people during this period, and benefits can come as a result. There can be a choice to structure, limit, or simplify your life in a significant way that leads to major improvements in your life.

You’re taking your responsibilities to others more seriously this year. You could find that you’re attracted to unusual pleasures and objects this year, but that you ultimately know how to save and spend wisely.

On business and financial levels, you’re best off if you develop and improve existing businesses than breaking entirely new ground. In fact, you’re in excellent shape for editing, refining, and overhauling your work and projects. Long-term alliances can be made this year. This is a potentially excellent year for making prosperous connections.

Physical attractiveness and energy levels are excellent during this period. You’re more comfortable with yourself and this increases your popularity.

This is an excellent period for getting organized. You’re in better shape than usual for staying on track and meeting your responsibilities. You are taking your social or romantic life more seriously this year although there can be some ups and downs as you make important changes. Useful contacts can be made during this period.

 

2017 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.

2018 will be a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It’s generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice – take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, November 5th

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
You’re sick of being lied to. You experienced it in the past and you’re not going to go through it again. What you have to do first, is prove that those around you were telling tall stories. Or do you? Move on. Don’t look back.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
Travel brings new relationships and also puts a very large smile on your face. You begin to experience new aspects of your personality and you like what you see! Don’t rule out planning new journeys at the last minute.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Stop trying to make things more complicated than they have to be. Try to focus on enjoying the simple things in life. It will help you to get your life into perspective. A flirty feel could see some of you saying things you’ll regret.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
The feeling that you need to get things tied up is strong. There will be a fear of starting new things, but with good reason. You want to know that you have cast yourself in a professional light. Don’t worry, you have!

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
I know you’ve been feeling out of your depth, but I also know that you don’t have to be. Trust in your instincts and do what they tell you today. You have all it takes to be successful, both personally and professionally.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
Happiness comes not from having much, but from being content with little. You know you aren’t materialistic, but you come across that way when you test close ones to see how far they will go for you.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
You’ll find it hard not to believe some of the rumours going around this week. Act only on what you see, not what you hear. Many of the signs are talking for the sake of it thanks to the arrogance of Mars.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Work and play both take centre stage and you begin to see that you were experiencing the life others told you to live, rather than the one you wanted. You’re back though Scorpio and you’re stronger than ever.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
You can do anything you want if you stick to your plans Sagittarius. Part of the problem has been that you’ve spent too much time doing things that look right, instead of the things that feel right. Ring now so I can help you find your self confidence.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Sometimes, it’s only when we don’t know what we are doing that we discover the right path in life. Old contacts hold the key to you sorting out new problems in business and financial areas. Ring me so we can put the magic back into your month.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
I’m so happy it’s not the beginning of the month any more. You’ve had chance to enter November now and get an idea of what’s expected of you and you’re about to learn that you can easily do what others expect.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
Regretting wasted time, leads to more wasted time. Knowing what you want is half the battle. All you have to do is admit your dreams and not the aspirations of those around you. Family proves demanding.

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Chariot



The Chariot is the representation of Victory and the personality traits required to attain victory. The Chariot indicates self-awareness and control. Courage—the ability to overcome fear and confront the unknown head on–is a primary ingredient of any victorious campaign and is denoted by the Chariot. So too is force of will. Often success is as much the product of will power and a refusal to surrender as it is anything else. The Chariot also represents the healthy personality of someone who believes in themselves; someone who can take control of the situation and bring events to a positive end. His successes come in competition with others.

The Witches Daily Horoscopes & Divination for October 31

The Witches Daily Horoscopes & Divination for October 31

Weekly Forecast: October 29 – November 4, 2017

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.

*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.  

Weekly Forecast:  October 29 – November 4, 2017

11/3 ~ Venus (relationships) ~sextile~ Saturn (responsibility):

This energy has to do with your obligations within the context of relationships. They are not difficult obligations (in this case) but more emphasis is placed on enjoying serving those you love. This is also what I would call the “keep it real” energy, regarding relationships. This energy makes you want to really sit down and define your terms within your relationships (which I am a total advocate of). It’s really hard to grow to the next level when each person is not clear on what the other expects. Of course, this starts with you knowing what you want/don’t want and what you are willing to compromise about so you can articulate that clearly.

11/3 ~ Sun (authentic Self) ~trine~ Neptune (intuition):

This energy triggers your idealistic, altruistic inclinations, but remember that help has to be invited. But if you have the energy to share & to spare, then dedicate your Self to something greater than you. Choose a cause to support or help those less fortunate for the sheer pleasure of giving. If your energy is low at this time, it is better directed inward. If you can, take some extra time in intentional solitude, praying, meditating and connecting to Spirit this week, you will be rewarded with deep revelations & mystical discoveries within you. It’s a great time to do divinations, ritual or ceremony if you’re into that. Your intuition is heightened also, so pay attention to any ‘messages’ that come through or to you. Try to use this energy to reflect on where you are and dream a little about where you want to be, mentally, spiritually and physically in 6-months to a year from now.

11/4 ~ Venus (values) ~oppose~ Uranus (freedom):

Any time Uranus is involved, it becomes the “wild card” and hard to predict how things will unfold, but right now there is a push-pull between your apparent values and your unique individual self. Venus also represents relationships, so you may begin an unusual relationship or you may have something unusual happen in an established relationship.  It is not necessarily a “good/bad” thing, as much as an unpredictable shift or sudden awareness, which requires some compromise & integration. This energy works beautifully if your personal Truth and values are in alignment. It will be very disruptive if they are not. Be open and flexible, while looking for the win/win situation for all involved.

Nightmares of the Zodiac

What’s your Sun sign’s deepest fear?


It’s that time of year again, when Americans like to scare themselves with ghosts, goblins and the rest of Halloween’s spooky tomfoolery. You might call it our annual fear fest, but are these truly our worst fears? Of course not. To find qualms that really make our skin crawl, we need to dig a little deeper.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You are at the end of a long line hiking up a tall mountain. The group’s leaders are Virgos, arguing about which way to go, while everyone else plods along at a snail’s pace. You’re going to have to push your way to the head of the line and stage a coup … or tear your hair out. Which will it be?

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Wait a minute … whose car is that in your garage? Okay, the one you had was breaking down every other day and you were thinking about replacing it … but it was a comfy jalopy and, besides, you hadn’t finished your research. Now someone has gone and made up your mind for you. That’s not fair!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Can’t someone just change that muzak? If orchestral string covers weren’t bad enough, you work in a room all alone, your iPhone is dead and you can’t even get your browser to load. Communication breakdown … your private version of hell … has finally come true.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

As you open your door, your friends shout “surprise!” It’s your birthday and they’ve got an all-you night planned. As you squeeze between co-workers you barely know, they start projecting a PowerPoint featuring your naked baby pictures, every bad hairdo and ugly date you’ve ever had, plus your fat phase.

Leo (July 23 – Aug 22)

Amidst booing and hissing, olives and cocktail umbrellas flying through the air … you’re cowering on a karaoke stage after what you thought was a knockout rendition of Wild Thing. Returning to your table, you find your date has bailed and left a napkin note telling you what a complete loser you are.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

You’re behind a counter, facing a long line of angry customers waiting to tell you in detail about everything that’s wrong with the product you designed. That’s right, the one you slaved over for years and were sure would be a best seller. They don’t want exchanges or refunds … they want your head!

Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22)

Your partner’s quirks have been gnawing on your last nerve for what seems like eons. You’re about to explode when … sure enough, like clockwork … he/she pulls one more stunt. Arms flailing, screaming at the top of your lungs, you lunge for his/her throat. So much for your famous emotional control, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You trust your new sweetie implicitly, but that doesn’t keep you from indulging in a little snooping while he/she is in the shower. Rummaging through bedside drawers, you discover a set of sexy underwear you’ve never seen before. Two can play at this game, you vow, as you plot your revenge.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The jury has come back with its verdict and you’re guilty. You’ll be spending the next decade of your life in one place. But don’t worry … it’s a minimum-security prison with a lovely view of the freeway. You can still dream about all the places you’ll travel when you get parole.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Who’s that waving his finger in your face? Why, it’s that guy you used to supervise before your job was outsourced. Now you’re wearing stonewashed jeans and sitting at a tiny workstation in a row of cubicles that never ends. What happened to your Gucci suits and private corner office?

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A security guard meets you at the entrance to your new workplace and whisks you away to a room where you undergo a complete makeover. When you’re finally escorted into your new office, you discover everyone looks exactly like you. Next on your newbie schedule … brainwashing!

Pisces (Feb 19 – March 20)

You hear a loud knocking on your door and open it to find three IRS men ready to rip into your tax return. They want you to account for every latte expense you listed and are suspicious of your self-employed income, too. Tearfully, you open the shoebox where you shoved your receipts to face the sorting and organizing you dread

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Samhain

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Mars pushes you to say things you would normally think but never say. You begin to understand that by bringing everything out into the open, everyone will have the chance to be more honest about what they want.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
You’re trying to make sense of what you want, but things you have recently heard have left your heart and head in a spin. Don’t be pushed into what you don’t want but instead insist on having more time.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
You will find this week that if you love life, then life will love you back! Don’t be forced into doing something you know you will regret. Remember you’re a Gemini and that sometimes your stubborn nature can be a blessing.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
The Moon gives you reason to trust those you would not normally place faith in. You see with ease that by feeling your way through events, you build up confidence in yourself and all you do.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
I know you want to see things progress quicker than they have been, but sometimes it’s more important to take your time to build a more secure base for yourself so that it can last. Ring now to hear who I think is bringing negativity into your life.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
You seem to be looking at life with fresh eyes and fresh inspiration. Finally, you’ve moved on from what and who was dragging you down. Good times await if you can find the confidence to say yes to that you normally say no to.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. You work out that in order to enjoy life, you have to try things which make you feel nervous and scared. You’re about to discover a new life goal. Ring now so I can help you enjoy this ride you’re on.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Someone you didn’t think was on your side, is about to prove that they always were by the words they offer and the actions they take today. Things will not go to plan today, but they will teach you much about what you want. Ring now to talk love and commitment.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
You yearn for a healthier life style and today’s the day many of you will put it into action. You realise you want a constructive plan and that you’re better for it. This means no longer contacting the person who brings you down.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)?
The very thing you were beginning to give up hope on now stands a chance of actually happening now that you’re willing to work as a team. That stubborn mood which overtook you last week slowly starts to melt away. Ring now to hear how the Moon brings you a confession.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Life is like photography. We develop from the negatives. Work on making sense of what recently occurred and how you can move on from it to be a better person. Get the things on your agenda for the week done today

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
A happier Pisces is slowly but surely evolving. You know now that you were accepting second best when you deserve the better. Announcements you make tonight most definitely distance you from those who are no good for you.

If You Were Born Today, October 31

You are a dependable person who can also be spontaneous and unique while steady and reliable overall. Some people might call you hard-headed! You can stick to something (or someone) longer than most people, and your ability to read between the lines is outstanding. People generally admire your conviction and your wit, and you inspire trust in others due to your “no-nonsense” approach to life. Family oriented and committed, you are also typically quite organized.

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
You feel you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, but I know you’re more than capable of making a success of what’s ahead. Your time with an ex is on your mind and thoughts today help you decide on a current relationship issue.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
Although you have experienced a rather independent mood in your work recently, today sees you having to work as a team. Not easy for a stubborn sign such as yourself, but try your best.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
The spotlight is on you and others will be coming to you for advice and attention, or just to bask in your glow. Think before you speak, as others will be acting on what you say today.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
Be careful when telling others’ secrets today. You would be far better to let people share their own news in their own time. Being more open with family can help them accept a new situation in your life.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
Life isn’t a dress rehearsal, grab it Leo! I know you’re frightened of rejection, but I know that with the clarity Saturn is offering, it will be easy for you to see which situations can work and which you need to move on from.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
Can you feel the excitement from the stars Virgo? This is the month in which many of your sign will be realising who you want to spend your life with. It’s also the month you’ll be breaking contact with those who have been using you.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
You can’t expect things to go to plan today, but you can expect to see sides of certain characters that have never been revealed before. From here on in there will be the knowledge that you can and will work as a team.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Try to resist the temptation to get involved in business that does not involve you. You could end up putting someone’s nose out of joint after you only just made up with them. Ring now to hear how flirtations could be the making of something long term and successful.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
You haven’t failed until you quit trying Sagittarius. I know you’re low on energy levels, but taking some time out to do something which inspires you will give you back your passion for your journey.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Don’t settle for anything than the best Capricorn. You should know by now that you’re a sign that needs a mental and a physical attraction. The Sun helps you to heal a rift you were beginning to lose sleep over. Ring now for a glimpse at your future.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Opportunities multiply as they are seized. Begin by taking life one day at a time. You have been worrying about what might happen next, when you should be working on what is happening now.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
Don’t let jealousy stand in the way of a perfectly good friendship. For a sign who is usually so confident, you’re allowing little words and actions to hit you like a tidal wave.

 

We hate to cut and run but we have some items that we still have to pick up for tonight’s rituals and spells. Besides everyone is running around here like a bunch of wild monkeys running and you can’t get nothing done.  We wish everyone a very beautiful & magickal Samhain!!

(Daily Horoscopes & Divination)

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 12

 

Aries

Aries
Aries

This can be another day when you’d prefer to stick close to home and stay out of trouble, dear Aries! It’s a good time for accomplishing something practical, in fact, and for anything that involves counseling, consultation, or collaboration. Important or useful information can result. One-on-one communications can be quite successful and productive today. This is a strong time for prioritizing your long-term goals and gaining perspective. You might be considering other viewpoints with maturity and benefit from this willingness. Plans might be formed or fine-tuned and cemented now, particularly related to relationships, health, work, travel, or education. Loyalty and reliability are themes to emphasize and boost.

Taurus

Taurus
Taurus

While the morning is good for bringing an imaginative or creative spin to your work or projects, dear Taurus, as the day advances, you’re in an excellent position to lock something down or deal with the practical side of things. Do your best to take advantage of this steady, methodical, traditional energy. This is a time for truly seeing the value of patience, small but effective efforts, and a step by step pace. Good things can take time, and you are instinctively tuning into this truth today. Focus on the details and show your strong work ethic now. This is a good day for making plans, mainly related to work or health, but it’s also a time for gaining new and useful information that helps clarify these things for you. You might find yourself absorbed in a project or pursuit, especially if research or investigation is involved.

Gemini

Gemini
Gemini

You can be feeling playful and creative this morning, Gemini, but you’re quick to tap into the steady, productive energy of a Mercury-Saturn influence as the day progresses. Teaming up with someone can be advantageous if you have a clear goal in mind or if you’re focused on purposeful tasks. You can be especially focused on coming to a balance in a relationship, and negotiations are fair and fortunate. You’re in particularly good shape with communications, and someone may recognize you for being a good friend. Be reliable with others for best results now. Relationships can benefit from a serious conversation or a clearer definition, or you feel stronger through your association with someone. The secret to happiness later today lies in balance and patience.

Cancer

Cancer
Cancer

The Moon spends another day in your sign, dear Cancer, and emotions are more colorful than usual. Even so, there is a decidedly practical bent to the day. You’re in particularly good shape for organizing areas of your life related to the home, family, real estate, work and services, and habits or health, for which your thinking is especially clear. You’re more interested than usual in tackling chores and duties. Efforts to shape up your work or body can be productive and invigorating now. Information you discover today can clarify matters and may even benefit you now and for years to come!

 

 

LLeoeo

While the morning inspires imagination and creativity, dear Leo, later today favors conservative moves and traditional methods. Activities related to commuting, teaching, writing, learning, and connecting can come into practical focus. People value your opinion and input even more than usual. Information coming in now helps clarify things for you, enables you to make a significant decision, or is otherwise especially useful to you. Projects benefit from attention to detail and an organized approach. Mental clarity feels great now! You also have a good eye for what’s most valuable and viable. Some of you could make a special, quality connection.

Virgo

Virgo
Virgo

You can come up with wonderful ideas to boost your business or to enjoy your earnings today, dear Virgo, with Mercury, your ruler, in supportive aspect with practical, realistic Saturn. As the day advances, you’re in particularly good shape for giving or receiving advice, learning something beneficial to you, and conveying your ideas to others. There is wonderful energy with you now for taking care of important business, especially if your finances, valuables, personal possessions, or home life can use some tidying and upkeep. Your eye for detail shines through now. People in your life are likely to notice and appreciate your spiritual maturity and intelligent viewpoint today. You could be focusing on organizing and straightening your home environment or routines with family, which can ultimately lead to improved inner clarity.

Libra 

Libra
Libra

You are a uniquely engaging speaker or communicator this morning, dear Libra. You can delight in your discoveries or imagination now. The second half of the day, on the other hand, is particularly suitable and fortuitous for doing virtually any kind of technical work or taking care of business. Good advice or useful information is circulating now, and you’re tapping right in. In fact, your sense of what’s valuable and useful is strong. Somebody may be putting in a good word for you. Serious conversations make sense now, and they can be comforting as well. You have a no-nonsense approach to your life at the moment, and this can indeed work to your advantage. It’s a time to organize, sort, tidy, and prioritize in ways that improve your life and sense that you’re on top of things.

Scorpio

Scorpio
Scorpio

While you can delight in freeform thoughts and a dreamy approach to the world this morning, dear Scorpio, as the day advances, you’re in great shape for focusing on priorities. You’re also in an excellent position to learn useful information or gain clarity and insight into a matter that feels great. Self-discipline improves. Look for a particular project that requires a narrow or precise focus and apply this energy to it, if possible. Tie up loose ends and focus on tidying up and organizing your life so that you can put an end to guilty feelings. Money matters or taking special care of personal possessions can figure strongly now. Your resourcefulness now can lead you to valuable conclusions.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius
Sagittarius

You’re in a fabulous position to apply both imagination and common sense to a matter today, dear Sagittarius, and the support of or from friends is comforting. You gain clarity or insight about a friendship, goal, or project now that aids your decision-making process. Your self-discipline improves, and a steadfast, conservative approach wins points today. Socializing can be helpful and rewarding. Be moderate, steady, and reliable in your dealings with people and disciplined with your goals, planning ahead, to take full advantage of a Mercury-Saturn connection active now. You’re able to tap into the necessary patience to get important duties and chores out of the way so that you can gain inner clarity.

Capricorn

Capricorn
Capricorn

Particularly as the day advances, it plays in your favor, dear Capricorn, with Mercury in harmony with your ruler, Saturn. This aspect generates practical, useful energy and a stronger inclination to draw upon common sense, even if the morning is a little hazy. You’ll do best now in the areas of communicating and getting the job done. Interactions and information surfacing today can be exceptionally useful and an important point can be clarified for you. You’re communicating with authority and coming across very well. You are likely to be leaned upon or admired from afar, particularly for your sound mind and trustworthiness. Tie up loose ends and tidy up areas of your life that may be causing you guilt or dread. The Moon is in your partnership all day, drawing out your desire for companionship.

Aquarius

Aquarius
Aquarius

You are feeling particularly inspired and imaginative this morning, Aquarius. As the day progresses, however, you’re in excellent shape for getting serious and picking up truly handy information. This is a good time for assessing ideas and projects with a clearer head and a better feel for what’s both valuable and viable. This is also an excellent time for uninterrupted, solid work, beginning a long-term project, or cementing a business alliance or connection with an associate. Good news may arrive about publishing, studies, legal affairs, or travel for some of you. Consider areas of your life that can do with concentrated focus and attention to detail, and use this steady energy to take care of business. Teaming up to get something accomplished or brainstorming with others can be productive.

Pisces

PIsces
Pisces

The Moon is in your creative sector all day, and Mercury forms a parallel with Neptune this morning, dear Pisces, encouraging imagination and flights of fancy. However, it would be wise to tap into the useful energy of a Mercury-Saturn aspect as the day advances, which is quite practical and realistic. You could be brainstorming with someone and coming up with very workable ideas and plans. You are primarily concerned with the details and practical side of conversations and projects or tasks now, and you may be reassessing or fine-tuning recent plans. Expressing your more responsible and competent or mature side can have tremendous benefits for you at the moment. You quite readily become absorbed in what you’re doing, and research or digging deeper into a topic or idea is especially attractive. Order and predictability are themes now, and work issues seem to be coming together. It’s a good day to benefit from mature or realistic advice and for speaking to superiors.

 

If You Were Born Today, October 12

You are a charming, enigmatic person with a dual personality. Sometimes extravagant, and at other times cautious, your contradictory nature often baffles others. However, overall, you possess personal charisma and others find you fascinating. You have an unusual intelligence and insight into human nature. You are not always successful in your attempts to use tact, however! Curbing your excesses is something you can spend a lifetime attempting to do, simply because although you are aware of the self-indulgent side to your nature, you are not always in control of it.

Famous people born today: Luciano Pavarotti, Aleister Crowley, Hugh Jackman, Josh Hutcherson.

Your Horoscopes for Friday, October 13th

 

Aries

Aries

Aries

You’re coming out of your shell with the Moon’s move into your playful solar fifth house, Aries. This transit becomes you, as you feel more in your element with the Moon in a fellow Fire sign (Leo). This transit brings easy energy for emotional and creative expression. If you’re not fighting the waves right now, you’re in touch with this nice flow. This is also an excellent day to make up for lost time with someone or to forgive or better understand a person in your life. You enjoy collaborating with others these days, but you’re also very focused on your work or projects, and it’s not always easy to juggle the two, which may become evident today. However, there’s no need to stress about this now. Tomorrow, Venus moves into your partnership sector, launching one of the best periods for close relationships in the year.

Taurus

Taurus
Taurus

Your mind is on your work or health and practical affairs, but your heart is with play and relationships right now, dear Taurus. Do watch for talking ahead of yourself. While you can feel a little divided, you’re still in good shape today. The Moon moves into your home and family sector, and it’s important to focus on strengthening your feelings of support and security at this time of the lunar cycle. This can happen on both outer and inner levels. Centering yourself makes sense now since inner assurance will go a long way towards meeting upcoming busier days with confidence. There can be a stronger need for close loved ones and family today, as well as familiar situations. For now, some self-pampering and nest building will do you good.

Gemini

Gemini
Gemini

Your mind is on fun and games these days, dear Gemini, and you want to share your ideas with others, but a good part of you would prefer to stick with the familiar. You’re still in a stage of building your confidence, which can lead to some choppiness but shouldn’t stop you from prospering today. The Moon’s move into your communications sector increases your interest in reaching out to others, making connections, and keeping busy. Do keep in mind that you might experience remorse for sharing too much later on, but if kept in check, you can thoroughly enjoy the conversations you have now. This is a day for honoring your need for more variety and stimulation.

Cancer

Cancer
Cancer

You’re not as ready to communicate or share as you’re letting on today, dear Cancer, which can confuse a person or two! Possible mixed signals aside, however, this should be a good time for settling in or building something important to you with increased patience. You could be focusing on adding more comfort and padding to your life now. The Moon moves into the sign just ahead of yours which can have the effect of downplaying emotions enough to help you focus on practical priorities. Seek out earthy activities that help you feel present and grounded at this time in the lunar cycle for best results.

 

Leo

Leo
Leo

If allowed some personal space, aside from minor challenges, the day can play very much in your favor, dear Leo. The Moon enters your sign early on, bringing you out of an emotional slumber of sorts. Emotional needs take top billing now, and while it’s an essential time for acknowledging them, be careful not to seek out too much in the way of instant gratification, as this can take power out of this part of the lunar cycle. Instead, aim to recognize and attach yourself to true emotions now. Aim to embrace your feelings rather than be under their control. As well, it’s important to avoid talking ahead of yourself today.

 

Virgo

Virgo
Virgo

You’re more action than talk these days, dear Virgo, which is not your usual state but is generally working for you right now. The Moon moves into your privacy sector today, and this can draw your attention to behind the scenes, background, and private matters. This is an integral part of the lunar cycle in which you find ways to rest, reflect, and regroup. Don’t waste your time trying to prove to yourself that you’re over something from the past. It’s better to face it and jump right into the work on letting go. In fact, excellent energy is with you today for doing just that. Take time making decisions and time out for emotional recharging.

Libra 

Libra
Libra

Watch for talking ahead of yourself today, dear Libra. Be sure you’re “all in” before revealing something or making a commitment. Part of you wants to spill all, and another part is more withholding or private, and you can’t please both sides. With the Moon changing signs today, your emotional attention turns to friendships, social life, happiness, hopes, and happiness goals. Recognize your needs to mingle now for best results, as this is a natural part of the larger lunar cycle. Keeping an open mind and your options open can invite positive, interesting experiences.

 

Scorpio

Scorpio
Scorpio

You’re more action than talk right now, dear Scorpio, with Mars in harmony with your sign and Mercury in your private solar twelfth house. This can work well for you these days, although today, you may throw someone off course by not speaking about something and doing it anyway! Also today, the Moon moves into your career and reputation sector, and with responsibilities strong in your mind, or new ones surfacing, it’s probably best to tackle them promptly. It’s a day for giving yourself a gentle challenge. Try not to waste time trying to convince yourself that you don’t care what others think of you, and instead, jump straight into tasks that build your confidence in your performance or what you’re currently doing.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius
Sagittarius

You’re strongly motivated to achieve your goals these days, dear Sagittarius, but your mind just isn’t on the same page today. The Moon’s move into your adventure sector is a happy, easy one for you, however, which is a nice change from recent activity that has been somewhat limiting or challenging. You quickly find ways to enjoy a change of pace, however big or small. This can be quite an outgoing, adventurous day, in fact, if you go along with this flow, even if the settings you’re currently in are pretty usual or routine fare. Venus is set to move into your social sector tomorrow, launching a quite excellent several-week cycle for enhancing or forming friendships.

Capricorn

Capricorn
Capricorn

You’re drawn to exciting or non-routine activities and ideas these days, dear Capricorn, but you could find that your mind is stubbornly and squarely on your work or responsibilities! Part of you is devil may care, and the other is fretting over your performance. While you may not be able to satisfy either drive fully without feeling some level of restlessness or dissatisfaction, you may be able to divide your time just enough to get a bit of both. The Moon moves into an introspective area of your solar chart today, and this part of the lunar cycle is excellent for learning both about yourself and important people in your life through observation. You’re looking to get to the root of problems, and you have much to discover.

Aquarius

Aquarius
Aquarius

Do your best to avoid talking ahead of yourself today, dear Aquarius. You may do the part of you that’s busy strategizing and planning a disservice if you spill the beans impulsively! You’re more excited and enthusiastic about your projects or interests these days than usual, but you’ll also do well for yourself if you hold off on quick conclusions until you’re truly on board. Also today, the Moon moves into your opposing sign for a couple of days. This part of the lunar cycle is excellent for gaining perspective and seeking out balance by considering your life from a different angle — and perhaps from a partner’s point of view. The need for others emerges clearly now. Sometimes this transit prompts the seeking of advice or increased activity with a companion.

Pisces

PIsces
Pisces

Especially this morning, there are excellent influences with you for personal appeal and magnetism, dear Pisces. This can also translate to personalized attention, as others seem to value the very energy you radiate naturally. There is increased imagination and compassion with you now, and you’re drawn to activities that reinforce your own sympathetic and caring nature. Even so, the Moon moves into the part of your solar chart that emphasizes the details and practical side of your life, and this can also be a great day for fixing problems and tying up loose ends. Enjoy the extra boost of motivation to get your life organized now.

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Hermit



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

Your Personal Daily Love Tarot Card

The Fool

You deserve a partnership that deepens as you get to know each other. Wait for the person who has risen above commitment immaturity if commitment is your desire. The Fool reminds us that dating someone is not a mistake. It is falling in love and marrying them if it is not right. If your long-term relationship is encountering a difficult patch, now is the time to work together to rebuild.

Your Personal Daily Erotic Tarot Card

The Judgement

The Judgement card indicates that you’ve had some sexual hang-ups in the past, but you’re working toward getting over them. This is a period of transition, and although you’re doing the work, you may not be getting the exact results you desire. Forgive yourself for past missteps in order to take a sexual step forward today. Being afraid to express your true erotic self can even effect other areas of your life, so getting beyond your sexual inhibitions translates into a happier overall existence.

Psychic Tip of the Day

NEW SURPRISE
Your first big shock of the new year has arrived. It could be a welcome relief, but you may not know what to do with it. Were you expecting company?

Your Animal Spirit for Today
October 12, 2017

Porcupine

Porcupine has appeared in your reading today to bring a message of innocence and trust. Although Porcupine can throw quills when cornered, he is gentle, loving, and non-aggressive. Is there an area of your life that need Porcupine energy? Have you lost the ability to trust??

Daily Karmic Number

Brace yourself. The number 3 as it appears for you today signals that your spirit guides are close by, eager to help you with your needs. You have been on a path of taking care of yourself and your efforts are being rewarded. They have always been there, but you are in a position to sense them more now. Ask them for help with anything. Your mind, body, and spirit are integrated into a seamless unit. You are one with the Universe. Let the Universe benefit you as you send out your own positive energy.

Your Daily Charm

Today’s Meaning:
A course of events that cannot be altered has been set in motion within this aspect. Accept whatever happens in the near future and do not waste your time fretting about it–you can do nothing.

General Description:
This was a favorite charm in Egypt, worn in order to frustrate magicians, sorcerers and evil wishers from bewitching the wearer and stealing the soul from the heart; for it was the general belief that if the soul left the heart, the body would soon fade away and perish. The ancient Egyptians also believed that, after death, the heart was taken, in the underworld, and weighed against the symbols of the law; if found perfect, it was restored to the body, which at once came to life again and enjoyed everlasting felicity.

Crack the Cookie

The Wisdom of Buddha

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

Earth Sky News for Thursday, October 12 – What bright star flashes red and green?

onight, check out one of the flashiest stars in the sky. Every year in northern autumn, we get questions from people in the Northern Hemisphere who see a bright star twinkling with red and green flashes, low in the northeastern sky as seen from Northern Hemisphere locations. That star is likely Capella, which is actually a golden star.

In fact, if you could travel to it in space, you’d find that Capella is actually two golden stars, both with roughly the same surface temperature as our local star, the sun . . . but both larger and brighter than our sun.

So here is a golden point of light that flashes red and green when it’s low in the sky. Why does it do that?

The reality is that every star in the sky undergoes the same process as Capella, to produce its colorful twinkling. That is, every star’s light must shine through Earth’s atmosphere before reaching our eyes. But not every star flashes as noticeably as Capella. The flashes are happening because Capella is low in the sky in the evening at this time of year. And, when you look at an object low in the sky, you’re looking through more atmosphere than when the same object is overhead.

The atmosphere splits or “refracts” the star’s light, just as a prism splits sunlight.

So that’s where Capella’s red and green flashes are coming from … not from the star itself … but from the refraction of its light by our atmosphere. When you see Capella higher in the sky, you’ll find that these glints of red and green will disappear.

By the way, why are these flashes of color so noticeable with Capella? The reason is simply that it’s a bright star. It’s the 6th brightest star in Earth’s sky, not including our sun.

Capella is in the constellation Auriga the Charioteer, but since antiquity it has carried the name “Goat Star.” Capella climbs upward through the night, and soars high overhead in the wee hours before dawn.

Bottom line: If you’re in Earth’s Northern Hemisphere, a bright star twinkling with red and green flashes, low in the northeastern sky on October evenings, is probably Capella.
