The Moon is in Cancer all day (until Friday, June 19th, at 2:22 AM).
The Moon is waxing and in its New phase.
Mercury is direct and in its shadow until it reaches 13 Gemini 09 on June 27th.
Falling in love with someone doesn’t happen every day. And marriage? That’s an even rarer occurrence. But BOTH of these life changing events can be predicted in the birth chart! Of course, it’s up to you and your free will whether or not you’ll actually open your heart or walk down the aisle, but astrologically speaking, an astrologer can smell these cycles from a mile away.
I’ll try my best to put this in terms that a beginning Astrology student can understand. Every single arena of life has a place in the birth chart. Falling in love is the domain of the 5th house in your birth chart. There may or may not be planets in the 5th house but that doesn’t matter – when your 5th house or its ruling planet is triggered in a positive way by planets in the current sky, then love is most certainly in the air.
Getting started
Now, look to the sign that is on the cusp (or beginning) of your 5th house and find out what planet rules that sign (see the chart below).
Once you know which planet rules the sign of your 5th house, find where that planet is in your particular birth chart. This planet, when triggered in a positive aspect in the current skies (a conjunction, sextile or trine) will put you in a cycle of love.
Using my chart as an example, I have the sign Leo on the 5th house cusp. That means my 5th house is ruled by the Sun. My Sun is placed in Taurus in the 1st house of my chart. So I know that whenever the Sun in Taurus is receiving positive aspects from any outer planet in the sky (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto) that I am in a positive love cycle. Why only consider the outer planets? Because the inner or personal planets move too quickly to matter much when you are making a major life prediction. For the major events of your life to occur, the outer planets must be transiting one of your ruling planets, personal planets, or an angle in your birth chart.
So how can I use this example to illustrate falling in love? In Astrology, the best way to predict the future is to look at your past.
How it happened…
The Astrology connected to my 5th house and the ruler of my 5th house is uncanny! In September 1991 I met the man I would marry, but initially, I didn’t even like him. It took a couple of months to fall in love, and the Astrology corroborates why. When we met, transiting Jupiter and Venus were both in my 5th House of True Love, but Venus was in a retrograde cycle. Venus stationed direct two days after we met and this is probably the reason why I decided to give things a second chance. Sure enough, we started to date and within a few short months I realized at 17 years old that I had fallen in love with a soul mate. It hit me suddenly. I went from not liking this man at all to gradually getting to know him and starting to really like him to then, all of a sudden, realizing I was completely in love.
So what do you think was going on with my Sun, the ruler of my 5th house? At that time Neptune, the planet of dreams, and Uranus, the planet of sudden surprises, were trine my Sun! And Jupiter was moving through my 5th house when we met, then went back into my 5th house when I realized I had fallen in love…
Jupiter opens your heart
In fact Jupiter, the planet of expansion and blessings, was involved in a positive way to either my 5th house or its ruler BOTH times I’ve fallen in love. You will find in your own chart the same is true for when you fall in love, because the job of Jupiter is to open your heart. Yes, underline this sentence. Say it out loud: A significant love opportunity cycle can be predicted by a happy Jupiter transit to your 5th house or its ruling planet! So pay attention to when Jupiter is making its once-every-12-year visit through your 5th House of True Love or is making a conjunction, sextile or trine to your 5th house ruling planet.
Using this method I can predict when I might fall in love again. In November 2015, Jupiter will make a trine to my Sun, ruler of my 5th house. Then in March 2016, there will be a second hit of Jupiter trine my Sun, while Pluto will also trine my Sun! If I meet someone special during these cycles I will certainly tell you about it!

Greetings Beloved Souls,
I am Sanat Kumara and I am here with you in this communication, to share with you about this time in your world. About the upcoming Solstice alignment. About your lives – what is emerging, what is possible, what is important and what might be the most significant aspect available to you, in your experience now. The experience of the return of love.
Love is returning to Earth in wave upon wave of higher frequencies energies being grounded here. Of course all things are made of divine light energy which is love, but the higher frequencies of love the quality of love that you experience as the emotional experience of love, that is what we speak of when we say, love is returning. Love is returning to Earth as you increasingly are embodying the higher frequency aspects of your being.
This is no small thing. It is making life very sweet that all this is happening.
You are living in an amazing configuration. A sphere of experience in which the arrangements are changing. The correspondence is changing. The ways of translating vibration are changing. The relationship to consciousness is changing. All of this is changing in your experience, in this way, and as it does, love is becoming more available to you and in this experience of knowing more love, you are feeling more alive. More hope is available on the Earth, for the sense of potential within human life is opening up.
This is an extension, a mirroring of the way in which the energetic field of the planet Earth has also opened up. The whole way in which Earth is present in the galaxy energetically, has been transformed and is continuing to change. It is becoming a more uplifted sphere of experience.
Why is this?
For one thing, for some time now there has been a momentum in your world about positive thought. About the value and benefit of positive thinking. This idea, although it has it’s flaws, is fundamentally positive! It is fundamentally beneficial to think positively about life and because you are learning this as a species, you are more aware of the tone of your thoughts. The mood you are in and the way your thoughts might relate to this and how all of this is also affecting your body. The mind-body connection is clearly recognized. This is transforming what it means to be human and what is possible for humanity.
It is important for you to realize that you are living in a time of great change and that your very life is the fulcrum — the pivot point on which this change is being created and experienced. You are the humans with links to the past building bridges into the future. You are setting forth new examples of what it means to be human. There are still on your Earth those who think money and material things are at odds with the spiritual life. There are still those on your Earth who have not awoken to their inner connection and are completely captivated by the sensory experiences. Then there are those of you who are blending and bridging into something very new and expanded. Those of you who are working more unconditionally with the qualities of experience here and letting yourself learn how to be more free.
You are revising your family history, your genetic and soul family lineage as you in embodied form become more free. We have said many of this things to you before and you may be familiar with all of them and yet because you are living in a time of immense transformation and transition, we continue to remind you of these amazing changes you are creating and the context of your experience so as to help you stay focused on the clarity of the experience. We want you to see clearly how much you are revising and how much you are changing. We want you to claim this and to use it to become even more loving and unconditional in relating to yourselves, which you know is such a huge key to the empowerment you are opening up. Self-love is making it all possible.
We greet you too, today, knowing the energies on your planet have been very high pitched lately and the Solstice is this week. It is a time of wonderful possibilities and for you, to use these energies by coming together to feel your connection with the land, with the sky, with the sun, with one another and with all that you are. To live out your blendedness with one another. To open up to the magical experience of conscious multidimensionality, together and to celebrate the shifts and turns of your lives. The Solstice might symbolize for you too, how much light you are letting in. How sometimes it truly ebbs away and other times it’s at such a pitch you cannot imagine holding any more energy. Yet all of it is part of your movement through space. A movement which you are using quite intentionally to temper your energetic capacity and grow your embodiment.
It is amazing and inspiring to behold and we relish each opportunity we have to share with you and celebrate your success.
As we come into this communication, we have one further thing we wish to share at this time and this is perhaps the most important gift we could give you: dear ones, have fun. Let yourselves have fun. Play more. Do what you want, more often. Let yourselves be free. Let yourselves choose to be free and see how it changes your life. See how much more is possible then you grew up believing. Let yourselves make the choices you want whenever you feel ready. Do not consider yourself late to the game, for it is that kind of game you’re in — one which is ripening and changing and you meant for it to be so. That you would continually open up new ways of being and some of that will be reclaiming things you put down long ago, for now you are more whole and can take them up again, with innocence and freshness and without any concerns about anything you might have called aging, or older-ness or whatever.
The ideas that there is a time for things is true and then again, it’s not true at all. It’s poetic to say, “it’s the perfect time.” It’s a wonderful way of being in accord with life. Of being fully present. It is also wonderful to be surprised by the timing of things. To have things return that you thought were gone. To like something you thought you hated. To feel open to something you thought was over. To notice you’re interested in something you never thought “at your age” you would consider. All of this is fresh and alive and for those reasons alone, worth celebrating and enjoying.
Let yourselves have more fun. And all that might mean to you. Fun is important and it is more of a key to living fully than you typically acknowledge and operate from. So why not do that at this Solstice? Declare your intention to be more sunny. More happy. More whole and to get there by having more fun. It’s a valid pathway you know? To all that you are and to all that is. Fun. The effortless way of connection. How is that for an idea?
We love you very much and we celebrate with you, your ongoing return to the fullness of your being, while here — in this most beautiful and abundant world, of so much beauty and such great and continually expanding potential.
I am Sanat Kumara

You have reached a culmination point, a midpoint. The two seem so opposite, and yet they are similar. A cycle within a cycle. Here you teeter on the point, a moment of rest as equilibrium is reached. How high have you traveled? What do you see from your broad vista? Take a moment and observe, for in this moment of balance, your stillness speaks volumes to you of your energy, your resonance, your vibrational foundation.
You are in a time of much movement, and yet you are building a new way of moving. Are you Forging a path, or Forcing a path? This question you can only truly answer in a balanced moment of stillness. As you observe the vista before you, you assess your energy, your resonance, your vibrational foundation. You ask the self, “Have I reached this point through Forging or Forcing?” You need a balanced moment of stillness to find the subtle truth.
To Forge a path, to create in your world, requires a directing of your energy, a transmutation of the elements around you; the audacity to own your world. Who are you to have the audacity to burn (Forge) a metal into new form? You, blessed being, are the vehi8cle [sic] of movement that the metal has been waiting for. It is through you that the metal transforms. It would give its life to you to experience new life, whether in sword or art. All potentials are available at the point you have reached. Do you have the audacity to own your world? Are you Forging a path of Love in your world?
The subtle difference in Force is available in a balanced moment of stillness. As you observe the Forging of the metal, it appears as if it has been Forced into new form. Indeed, if you look only with the eyes, you are correct. Yet in a balanced moment of stillness, as you observe creation, you see the metal has transformed. It is an obvious one, for you still see metal in a new shape. What transformation do you see around you that may not be as obvious? Do you see a person renewed by a loving glance? Do you see another finding new solution because of a ‘no’ they received? Do you see challenge and triumph alike as Forging a new creation? Force stops. Where do you feel Forced in Life? What new Self are you Forging?
Life wants you to have the audacity to ‘own’ your world. Indeed, it is your Love that transforms Life. Do you have the metal (mettle) for this, Lightworker? At this beautiful point you have reached, Life is showing you ‘it’s all downhill from here, the expanse is yours.’ Forge ahead.
As we sit to Blast Forging or Forcing, we are nurturing our inner courage to Love Life into new creation. We are boldly taking the reins and leading our lives to our freedom of Love. We are releasing the need to stop the flow of a government, an institution or the choice of another and allowing our own flow to find the path of least resistance toward creation. We are the water, gently eroding the rocks and shaping a new world. Not by force, but by the flow of our Love being so strong that it softens the rocks into new form. Some will even roll with us. Blast on!

The Moon today is in a Waxing Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.
Use this charm to make your deepest wish come true.
Lapis lazuli means stone (Lapis) and blue (azul). The master painters of yesteryear used pulverized lapis lazuli to create a rich ultramarine blue paint. Many of the early paintings of the Mother Mary were done using this vibrant blue paint.
For this charm, you will need a piece of lapis lazuli, a clean sheet of paper, bright blue paint, and a paint brush.
After dark, hold the piece of lapis lazuli in your power hand. Merge with the divine, and say:
Lapis blue, may my deepest wish come true!
State your deepest wish. Put the sheet of paper on your altar, and paint your dearest wish with the paint and paintbrush on the paper. Keep it simple. Fold the paper in half, and in half once more. Put the folded paper on the altar, with the lapis lazuli stone on top of the paper. Keep it there until your wish comes true. Every now and again, hold the lapis and the folded paper in your power hand, and repeat:
Lapis blue, my deepest wish is coming true!

Spells really work. Why? Because there is magic in everyone, each person, everyone creates their own reality. We are the creators of our universe of our world. We create magic when we wish for something or intend something to happen. We create magic by imagining what we want and holding it in our hand even if we don’t have it yet. For example, you may want to have a new car, or you may want to attract your soul mate or whatever you with to yourself. So you think about it first, and if you believe, and I mean really believe with unwavering faith then you get your wish. It is as simple as that.
Some folks will say that they tried a spell once and it did not work for them. My grandmother would have told them they didn’t believe in the spell itself, or even in the “wish.” Those who make a wish and believe it will come true, always comes true.
Now in the 21st century, it has become scientifically proven fact that “thoughts become things.” Quantum physics say that we draw thing to us, good and bad things through the law of attraction so of course a spell would work, even if we give it a scientific explanation. Magic has always been here and it has always worked.
Spells are the conscious desire and the mixing of elements with incantations, like following age old formulas much like your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, in order to have a desired effect come into being. Spells tap into the universe, which we are all part of, to aid in a desire, or a powerful intention. Spells also tap into your psyche. Spells are very simple rituals to make something happen in your life. I choose to make good things happen for me.
Casting spells is an age-old skill and talent used by many, but known to few. In casting a spell you frequently need to have the support of a god or goddess or universe to give you the ‘oomph’ you need. Picking the right deity is for some the first step. I choose the universe because everything I am, everything I use in all my spells are made of the same elements as the universe. So to me, a spell, is 10 times more powerful when I use the universe to help me manifest a desire or intention. You can call the universe anything you want, universe, spirit world, God, Goddess, you choose. I choose to call the universe God. My gypsy grandmother, Antolina’s deity was the Virgin Mary. Whatever you identify with best is what works best.
It is important to always be grateful for what has been given you, for what you have manifested in your life already. In order for a spell to work, a prayer of thanks for all you have should come first. Even if the only thing you have to be thankful for is the clothes on your back. The ancient gypsies were always grateful for what they had since many lived a “hand –to-mouth” existence. Therefore, the very food found that day was always appreciated.
Once you master the art of gratitude, THEN and only THEN can you truly master magic. The first step in invoking a magical way of life is Intent. Intent is the beginning of all Spells- the consciousness of what it is that you want or need help with, even how to get rid of something. It is the intent that helps with the focus and the desire to create the true magic and the start of what you want. Having too many desires or intents only clouds the ideas of what is it that you truly want. Is the spell that you consider casting realistic? To spend your magical energy on casting a spell or to get a job that you are unqualified to perform is not the best way to have a spell become real. Be pragmatic and be methodical. It is the same with any spell; you cannot cast a spell on someone to love you with whom you have had little contact. It just is not a strong enough connection.
Not only that, we are all given the gift and power of FREE WILL. NO magic can MAKE someone love you and dump his wife or girlfriend. Because he has his own power, his/ her own free will to choose to either like you or not. However, you can conduct a spell to change something within you. In other words you cast a spell to make someone notice YOU, or make them see qualities in you that are good for them, you can cast a spell on yourself, to make yourself more attractive to the person you wish to be with. Then you let it go into the universe and allow the universe to unfold the way it’s supposed to.
The next step in magic is to banish. You cannot create something new unless the old is taken care of. Clean the area where you will perform the spell. Look at it as performance art and you need a clear stage. Get rid of all that clutters your mind, heart and soul. Make your banishing internal. Do not perform magic with a full stomach, heart, or a stuffed soul. You need to be rested and tranquil. Your feet planted firmly in the astral plane where magic takes place. This is where you need to clean the space. Where you do your meditation or your holy spot in your home or garden. One of the key elements in casting a spell is to get a feeling of centeredness. It is not to your advantage to be thinking of your grocery list or your pile of things to do when you are ready to cast a spell for something like ‘health and well being.’ Keeping focused and in tune is the first step in the art of casting a spell.

CUSTOM-MADE DAILY MAGICK FOR THURSDAYWell, let’s see … abundance, prosperity, and good health has been our focus for this day. Now how about a little more information and ideas for working practical magick with one of our fascinating featured deities of the day?
Juno was the Queen of Heaven. As the matriarch of the gods, she guarded over women in every aspect of their lives. Juno was thought to have renewed her virginity every year. Similar to other goddess stories, Juno was a triple goddess-a virgin who belonged to no one; a mother and woman in the prime of her life, sexual and mature; and also a crone, powerful, wise, and sometimes vengeful (as she made her husband’s many mistresses’ lives either fairly unhappy or short).
There are references to an early all-female triad of goddesses known as the Capitoline Triad. This triad consisted of Juventas, Juno, and Minerva. To the Greeks, they would have been known as Hebe, Hera, and Hecate. Ultimately the triad became Juno, Minerva, and the male Jupiter. Jupiter, another of Thursday’s gods, was Juno’s consort.
As mentioned earlier, Juno, in her aspect as Juno Moneta, was the patron and protector of the Roman mint. The coins produced at her temples were blessed by Juno and imbued with her powers of abundance and prosperity. In another of her aspects as Juno Augusta, Juno was the goddess of an abundant harvest.
In addition, another of Juno’s magickal correspondences is the semiprecious stone malachite. Malachite is a beautiful green-banded stone that was also called the “peacock stone” in Italy. The peacock was a sacred animal of Juno’s, and the magickal energies of malachite encourage health and prosperity.

Try wearing some honeysuckle-scented perfume to encourage prosperity. Bewitch someone by wearing deep royal blue or brighten up a dreary day by wearing lucky, prosperity-drawing green. Brew up a pot of mint tea to help increase your cash flow. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to an unscented candle to encourage some fast cash. Bake up a loaf of wheat bread for the family, and celebrate abundance and be thankful for all that you have.
Conjure up a witchy craft and create a philter or two for your magickal needs. Work with the deities and the magickal plants corresponding with Thursday.
How did the energies of the plants of Jupiter enhance your magick? What did you learn by working with Juno, Jove, or Zeus? The truth is that by adding these new techniques and information into your spellcasting repertoire, you will indeed advance your skills, thereby moving up in the ranks to become a more adept magickal practitioner
Just by believing in yourself and working toward creating abundance, health, and prosperity, you have already begun to transform your outlook on life. Put your game face on; think positively. Work with Thor for perseverance and courage, and apply those qualities to your own prosperity spells and healing witchery. Break out the tarot cards; How could you incorporate that symbolism into other spells of your own design?
Use your imagination, check Thursday’s correspondence list, and see what other bewitching things you can conjure up for prosperity magick all by yourself. Call on the gods and goddess of Thursday and bring some positive change, abundance, health, and prosperity into your life!

Thursday’s WitcheryToday is the day for prosperity work of all kinds. It can also be used for healing work, whether that is a physical healing of an illness or an emotional healing. Also remember that you have to follow up your healing work and prosperity magick and physical action.
I can’t tell you the number of times I have met new witches who complain to me that their prosperity spell or “I need a better job” spell did not work as they expected. They’ll ramble on and on about how much time and money they spent working their magick….but, alas, they had no glorious manifestion of wealth or fabulous job that suddenly dropped out of the sky and landed in their laps.
Then, when I gently ask them, “Did you enchant your resume or application when you filled it out? Did you do a little confidence-boosting spellwork when you went to apply for the job or went to the interview?” typically they give me a blank, confused stare.
Nine times out of ten, their response is, “You mean I have to go out and actually look for the job too?” Um, yes, my dear, you certainly do. Magick follows the path of least resistance, which means it’s going to manifest along the simplest, quickest route. Get out there and hit the pavement. See what you can find. Times are tough and competition for good jobs is fierce, so you need whatever edge you can get. For folks like us, we’re going to get the edge by using our magick and our spellcraft.
Thursdays have such a rich source of magick for us to draw upon that, honestly, the sky is the limit. This is the day associated with the gods of the sky and heavens, after all. Get to know these deities and add their wisdom and magick into your days.

Get Lady A home to us all, please!
Good morning brothers & sisters of The Craft. I know you are not use to hearing from me but today is not a good day for me or anyone else here. We received a phone call from down in Tennessee yesterday. It was in regards to a cougar that was going to be killed unless it could be relocated. As you know, Lady Abyss is an enchantress and does this work all the time. She immediately got into the truck we use for such captures and relocations. Lady A and two others went to retrieve the cougar and relocate. She managed to calm the cougar and entice it into the container. All seem to be fine.
On the way back to Kentucky is when the disaster struck. The driver of the truck lost control of it and ran off the road. Thank goodness, they were traveling on an interstate and ran off the side into the grass, not all the way down the embankment. The truck had to be towed to a small town in Tennessee (Troy if you know where that is at). The cougar was taken to a motel believe it or not. Lady A had to guarantee the animal was secure and could not make an escape. Right now, all three of our people are stuck in Troy along with the cougar. The damage done to the truck is going to cost about a $1000 to fix. We have collected all the money we can and so has Lady A and the two with her. The garage wanted half up front to start and the rest when they finish. They got the half up front. Now we are short several dollars on getting the money when the job is through.
I would not ask you unless this is an absolute emergency. But we have to get Lady A, her companions and the cougar home to us. I am asking from the bottom of my heart and for my love for Lady A, please help us get her home to us, please. I have never begged but I am now. We are nothing without her, you know this as well as I do. Please, no matter what you can donate, please do so. We need her home desperately. She is our driving force without her we are lost. Please, help us.
We love Lady A and we want her home, please help us get her home, please.
At the bottom of every post today will be a donate button to get Lady A back home, please give what you can. Thank you.
“THINK on THESE THINGS”
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler
Leave yourself a choice. It is a sorry state of affairs when a person’s life becomes so regimented that it is impossible to make even one change in plans. There is a story about a gentleman who kept a record in minute detail of his living and every cent he earned so that he could make a trip abroad. The record keeping became such an obsession that when he could make the trip he took along crackers to keep from eating in the dining room aboard ship. The journey was nearly over before he discovered the price of his meals was included in the fare.
How much do we miss by refusing to accept the bounty of choices? “If only” and “I wish” are so over used. We bind ourselves daily by refusing to recognize the volume of opportunities open to each of us. All of life is not free, but there is much available for our personal selection.
Dr. William S. Sadler wrote of a woman who was so orderly and systematic in her living that she inquired of her minister how to go about dying since she had never done it before. Living in a systematic world is possible, but there are limits to what we can prepare for and about which to be orderly. Daily we meet and settle many small emergencies, and some not so small. And it is our developed ability to meet these things successfully and on the spur of the moment that makes a well-rounded individual.
But the steady, uniform methods of doing things do not necessarily mean a person is ready to meet every situation in life. In fact, such living often makes change practically impossible when change is sorely needed.
Order is heaven’s first law. But order means first things first. A place for everything and everything in its place. Then, if we’ve learned how to live, we never have to worry about the art of dying gracefully.

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – June 17
“Your power comes from the songs.”
–Ethel Wilson, COWICHAN
If you do not know any of the songs, ask an Elder to teach you. Get yourself a drum. When you sing a song and play the drum, you’ll be surprised how your mind, body, and spirit will react. Everything becomes calm and joyful. Our bodies love the songs. The songs allow us to touch the hand of the Creator. When we sing and touch the Great Spirit’s hand, He gives us power. Songs are another way to pray.
My Grandfather, teach me a song today.
June 17 – Daily Feast
Pressure destroys some people and helps others rally to do their best. One seeks peace and order and another heads toward noise and chaos. A little of both keeps us on our toes, but it means we have to have good judgment. Peace is necessary – even under pressure. Like the rhythm of the sea, we rise to high tide and relax back to calm. No different from inhaling and exhaling, we are created to keep the balance.
~ I am much indebted to the Father of us all – Him who made us and placed us on this earth. ~

If you knew someone in your own situation, what advice would you give that person? What course of action, what priorities, what strategies would you suggest?
Think about that, and then think about this. Are you, right now, following your own advice?
It’s easy to know what to do when you’re not the person who has to do it. When you actually have to implement the advice, things get complicated and uncomfortable.
Yet good advice is good advice. And you are well positioned to give yourself good advice.
Yes, it will involve some real work to do what you know must be done. Fortunately, as difficult as it may be, you can absolutely do that work and follow the advice you yourself would offer.
So go ahead, be brutally honest and give yourself the advice you need to hear. Then take it to heart, put it into action, and make the progress you know you can make.
