Because of circumstances beyond your control, you have no choice.

General Meaning

In practically all renditions of the Tower card, disaster is striking or has just struck. The demons of madness and despair are released from ancient hiding places, and nature conspires with human failings to destabilize a society. The upheaval is collective and impersonal. Let us remember these images were created for the educated nobles and clergy — reminding them that they have the most to lose if the hierarchy is toppled.

Lightning is a fitting karmic payback for the guilt of those whose fortunes come from the exploitation or abuse of others. A modern subtitle might be “revolution,” indicating that through drastic social change, oppressed people can find renewed hope of better times. The Tower experience comes like a flash of lightning to topple the hierarchy of the old order, after which everyone can have a fresh start on a more equal footing.
In the Advice Position

You are the one to serve as a catalyst for change.

The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.

With the Tower card, think of yourself as an agent of transformation. This self-sacrificing role is likely to create stressful situations. Your vision shows you that a radical change has already been unleashed by forces much larger than mere mortals, and therefore you are no longer resisting.

Now you may be at the forefront, acknowledging and accepting the bracing presence of the future bursting in on the present. Try to mediate the harsher parts of the changes as they unfold, so the most vulnerable are the most cushioned. Acknowledge yourself, as well as the others in your life, who are offering their resources to usher in a better future.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, January 11th

Aries

This morning is good for feeling accomplished and decisive, but as the day advances, dear Aries, instincts might tell you one thing, and people say something else. You want to do more than is currently possible, and you’re getting conflicting messages from your ambitions and from what others seem to want you to do. Keep things as real as possible. Don’t be swayed by promises made now, as they may be hard to keep. Watch for errors made as a result of ignoring or glossing over details, and avoid skipping steps in your haste to accomplish something. Recognize that pushing too hard towards a goal can wear you down or overwhelm you, which is counterproductive. Aim to pace yourself, but do keep your mind open to new ideas and possibilities. In fact, we’re building towards a Full Moon, and this is a time for reaching a little further than you usually do. It’s an imaginative time!

Taurus

This morning is good for feeling connected to someone or excited and motivated by a personal interest or cause. As the day advances, emotions build. You can have fabulous business ideas now, but they may not yet hold a lot of weight. Don’t discard them! Instead, take note and aim to fill in the details later. Restlessness can lead to mistakes today if you’re stuck in a routine. You can be feeling some pressure and a sense that you don’t have the time or energy to accomplish your larger goals. Avoid skipping important steps so that you can reach a goal. Pacing yourself is difficult today but can be the key to success. Remind yourself that going bigger isn’t necessarily better. Becoming overwhelmed by things to do will not help you to achieve more, and right now, the desire for some freedom from restrictions and routines is strong. Fortunately, the Full Moon tomorrow brings true feelings to the surface, and it can be an excellent time for great ideas.

Gemini

More than usual today, dear Gemini, you need happy company, but you may be swinging from a generous mood to a more serious frame of mind. While you can be very playful and affectionate, there can be some confusion as to the depth of your feelings and whether you want more or less from someone! There can be questions about commitment, whether to a person, idea, or project. Some of you could be unsure about a person’s feelings about you or the viability of a project. Jupiter has been encouraging you to take a risk with your heart or your creativity these days, but the Sun is stimulating a desire for deeper bonds and connections, and this mini struggle can come to a head now. Watch that you don’t take risks that are over the top, particularly with money, as instincts for financial matters may be out of step. A Full Moon is building and is likely to reveal buried feelings or open your eyes to something you’ve been overlooking, however, which can help you make better decisions about money.

Cancer

The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Cancer, and emotions are in the spotlight. A Full Moon will occur in your sign tomorrow morning when feelings come to a head. This can be a very revealing and creative time for you. Today, going overboard is a potential problem. You may think you can keep the peace by pleasing everyone, but this is a taller order than you think! A Sun-Jupiter square energizes your sectors of home, family, and partnerships, and all of these things can place demands on you. Restlessness is a possibility if you feel overwhelmed with things you want to do or if you are caught up in a dilemma that leaves you wondering what your next step should be. You have a stronger need for security as well as a sense of belonging now, but it’s important to take independent steps to achieve these rather than wait for others to fill these needs. Certainly, the Full Moon will help draw out the need for extra attention to your personal needs and plans.

Leo

This can be a time for taking stock of a recent project or endeavor, possibly something that began in September, dear Leo. You are assessing just how far you’ve come or how much you have accomplished. If you’re falling short, there may be a need to adjust expectations or to renew your motivation. There could be some moodiness if your personal “report card” isn’t up to par. Try not to move forward on a new idea right now, at least not too quickly, and avoid taking on too much in an effort to catch up or get somewhere fast. Spreading yourself out too thin will not lead to success. With a Sun-Jupiter square tonight, look for areas of your life where you’ve been overextending yourself, particularly related to your daily affairs, communications, studies, and other forms of busy work. If you’ve been putting too much pressure on yourself to do it all, it’s time to focus more on priorities, especially with a Full Moon occurring tomorrow morning in your privacy sector, encouraging you to take some down time.

Virgo

We are building towards a Full Moon that will occur tomorrow morning in your social sector, dear Virgo. It happens at one of the most romantic times of the year for you as Venus and Neptune come together in your partnership sector. This can be a time for discovering your feelings for someone or a heartfelt project. Some of you could be learning how someone feels about you or could receive praise for your work or creativity now. However, today there can be a tendency to go a little overboard. Whether it’s about wanting to impress someone you love or simply because you’re in a good mood and want to share today, the tendency is to go over the top. Other possibilities are spending too much or making big statements or promises. You can have a good time today, but it’s best to know your limits. Gambling is unlikely to pay off right now. If you’re investing yourself into the wrong things, moodiness can ensue. Remember that bigger isn’t always better, and look for ways to simplify.

Libra

With a Full Moon about to occur at the top of your solar chart, dear Libra, you may need to take the lead or you could be called to perform. In the meantime, there is a tendency to feel restless and to blow things out of proportion, and this should be monitored. Optimism can trip you up right now if it’s blind to practical elements. Your confidence radiates, and it could very well attract good things to you, as long as you control the tendency to go over the top. As well, some of you could experience a conflict between nurturing your high need for security and safety and your similarly big desire for personal experiences and expansion or freedom. Avoid exaggeration or dramatic displays of independence in favor of managing your expectations. Plans that haven’t panned out or moved fast enough may reveal themselves now, but the answer is not to push yourself too hard but rather to prioritize and simplify.

Scorpio

The Full Moon occurring tomorrow morning can feel a little chaotic, dear Scorpio, but has its magical side as it lights up your feelings and awakens you to important insights into your life. Today, the Sun and Jupiter form a square, and you may be swinging between overoptimism and disappointment. Try not to take on too much, particularly when it comes to serving and helping others, which you have been doing more than your fair share of in recent months. Instead, take a deep breath and open your eyes to flaws in your plans that need some polishing. Consider your needs and aim to balance things out. Aim to look at the big picture and consider whether you’re headed in the right direction. Get all the facts before you jump into something or to conclusions. If you’ve become a little too short-sighted recently due to a hectic schedule, you’ll feel the need to broaden your horizons and outlook today and tomorrow, and this is very good for you now!

Sagittarius

The Sun in your solar second house these days turns your attention to the practical side of your life, dear Sagittarius, but also to creature comforts and comfortable routines. Its clash with your ruler, Jupiter, in your social sector today can point to some feeling of being torn between wanting to do something different and exciting and preferring to stay put and stick with what you already know. A friend or even a project or idea seem to promise more than can be delivered, or there can be a sense that things are not coming along quite as well or as quickly as you had anticipated. The answer to this is not to push yourself harder or to take on more endeavors, but to work on problem areas and make improvements. There is a general feeling that we can do more than we actually can today, and while there are likely good intentions involved, it’s better not to bank on promises made now. As well, tame spending and overdoing. A Full Moon will occur tomorrow morning, and there can be a sense that feelings are reaching a bursting point now! It’s a good time to awaken to your feelings about a matter.

Capricorn

This morning brings wonderful energy for credibility, dear Capricorn. Your enthusiasm runs high, but as the day advances, there is a tendency to blow things out of proportion or to hitch your horse to the wrong wagon. Allow yourself to dream and think big, but try not to overdo things, as you’ll end up too exhausted when true opportunities present themselves. You may be reassessing a recent business or professional endeavor now, and it’s best to aim to make changes that get your expectations down to earth before going forward. Tonight, the Sun in your sign magnifies your ambitions through a square aspect to Jupiter at the top of your chart. The trick is to avoid investing too much of yourself or your hopes into ideas and feelings that may not be realistic. Draw upon your huge stores of common sense. Enjoy yourself and celebrate, but keep things real and avoid going over the top. The Full Moon occurs in your opposing sign tomorrow morning, and this can serve to draw out your true feelings and desires. It’s a somewhat chaotic but quite magical time!

Aquarius

The day begins with a pleasant sense of a mission, dear Aquarius, but as the day advances, we have a harder time feeling satisfied with the status quo. A Full Moon will occur tomorrow morning and can serve to pull up feelings that have been buried or ignored. With a rather charged atmosphere, debates can quickly turn into arguments. Be discreet today. A part of you can be very restless and hungry to experience something different, but a plan or specific direction is not yet in the offing. As well, you may be uncertain about pursuing these things, held back by guilt or tied to obligations. Plans are compelling, but part of you may be clinging to the past or finding excuses. Where you’re headed may not yet be clear, but that’s just fine — don’t push this realization or decision-making. What you should push, however, is the usual boundaries of your imagination, as this is an excellent time for coming up with unusual but workable ideas.

Pisces

This morning is good for connecting with others or for feeling connected to an idea or cause, dear Pisces. There is a nice sense of mission. As the day advances, there is a tendency for people around you to dramatize or exaggerate, so take things with a grain of salt. There can be some pressure on you from friends or groups or difficulties balancing your intimate life and your social life. If you’ve been expecting more from a recent endeavor or even relationship, this can be a time when you question what needs to be done to either revive it or put it behind you. Any waning in enthusiasm may only be temporary, so keep this in mind before making final decisions. While thinking in big terms is useful sometimes, today’s energies point to a tendency to be immoderate or to overshoot. Avoid overcommitting, which can be the go-to tendency as a way to appease others or to put something behind you. Consider dreams and ideas that emerge now, but avoid investing too much of yourself into these things. We are building to a feel-good and possibly a romantic or exotic Full Moon, and emotions run high.

If Today is Your Birthday: January 10

You are exceptionally hard working, organized, intelligent, and efficient. Some of you can be accused of being workaholics, and sometimes this comes from a fear of being poor or needy. You are a friendly person and you carry yourself especially well so that others easily respect you. Others generally appreciate your straightforward approach to life, as well as your practical and sound mind. Famous people born today: Rod Stewart, Linda Lovelace, Pat Benatar, Ronnie Hawkins, George Foreman.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

You crave and seek more freedom this year, and how you deal with this issue makes all the difference as to the overriding themes of the year. If you recognize your need for changes in key areas of your life and adapt accordingly, this can be an exciting year of discovery. However, if you resist change and insist on keeping things status quo, you are bound to feel very restless, tense, and rebellious. Either way, making healthy changes should be the focus instead of change just for the sake of change. Spontaneity, not impulsiveness, is the key to success this year. Optimism is wonderful, but when it’s blind optimism, life becomes a rollercoaster ride, so aim to keep your feet on the ground. Fortunately, you have a lot of cosmic support for this.

Business benefits from a more creative approach, but you should be especially careful that you aren’t missing important details. This can be a year in which you are building faith and confidence in your personality, skills, and talents. You can experience a stronger desire to seek out meaning, wisdom, and mental stimulation in your life during this period. Others might frequently turn to you for guidance.

You might find that you become more goal-oriented this year, as superficial goals no longer satisfy you. You want your objectives to reflect what you’re really about, and you are likely to rid yourself of unsatisfying goals this year. You benefit from being more decisive than usual, and your ability to concentrate and focus helps you to achieve what you set out to do. A new project or goal begun this year has a good chance of being successful and long-lasting. Your sexual and physical activities tend to be more intense, passionate, and focused. It’s an excellent year in which to make a lifestyle change, as your ability to concentrate on what really matters to you is enhanced.

Venus conjunct Neptune in your Solar Return chart this year is an extremely romantic influence. This could be a year in which romance enters your life or is enhanced. The only real danger with this aspect is the tendency to be starry-eyed about your romantic and social relationships. Fresh beginnings on creative levels are likely. Heightened sensitivity to, and awareness of, beauty and spirituality characterize the year ahead. You are easily influenced, seducible and seductive, and given to strong powers of imagination. You are more attuned to the world of beauty and romance, and gentleness with others is the best way to harness this energy. It can certainly be a magical time on a romantic and social level, but it could also be a confusing or illusory influence as well. You should be more vigilant with money matters and watch for a tendency to glamorize your situation or relationships at times.

This can be a powerful year for friendships. You are especially concerned with being fair to one another in your relationships. You seek out balance and peace, and the platonic elements of a relationship may be emphasized now with great success. There can be a focus on sharing or blending beliefs, morals, and values; or there can be a strong focus on growing and improving through one another. This can also be a very creative, artistic time.

This can be a year in which you reassess your love relationships or friendships to determine whether they’re helping you grow or holding you back.

The year ahead is an enterprising one, particularly along creative lines. It’s also a very important period for making lifestyle changes. You have much energy to pour into your pursuits, although you can be a little moody when it comes to motivation for your projects – you need to feel inspired for the energy to flow well. Romantic and creative energy runs very high this year. Work on your ability to pace yourself, as it will lead to greater happiness and health. As well, temper enthusiasm with practicality for best results.

2017 is a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time when it is easy to enjoy life and other people. Focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure. It is likely to be a rather lighthearted year when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a good year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out, 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 deal with 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 generally not formed in a Four personal year. Advice – get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, January 10th

Aries

As ambitious as you are these days, there can be many distractions preventing you from mastering all that you want to accomplish, dear Aries. Today, it may be your inner need for change that’s doing all the interfering! Watch for a tendency to challenge authority or tradition in ways that stir up trouble rather than help bring positive change. Look within for a need to make changes and answer that call, rather than simply reacting to others and circumstances. Tone down rough edges and consider ways to make changes without making so many waves. Fortunately, you become far more strategic as the day advances. You might decide to take charge of a private, past, or health matter now as you instinctively hone in on your priorities. Good energy is with you for tackling long-standing problems or work. Working anonymously or from behind the scenes can prove beneficial.

Taurus

While you’re seeking out new ideas and experiences these days, dear Taurus, there can be roadblocks along the way, mostly in the way of unmet responsibilities. Today, you may be your own worst enemy in this regard. Unresolved problems from your past or issues that were left up in the air can stand in your way. There can be surprising new information or circumstances that throw off your schedule or plans with a Sun-Uranus square coloring the first half of the day. Seek to satisfy your cravings for something different by varying your routine, learning something new, or enjoying a new activity, rather than stir up trouble or remain in limbo, doubting yourself. Later today, good energy is with you for networking and for feeling that you are part of a team. If it means giving up something for the sake of the group, be willing. Group work can be beneficial, or a friend can build your confidence or convince you to pursue your goals and desires.

Gemini

Surprises or changes in plans and moods can point to the need to adjust expectations and attitudes today, dear Gemini. If you’re feeling especially tense or restless, try to channel excess energy into worthwhile pursuits. Investigating new approaches and experimenting with new methods can satisfy an itch for doing something different and unusual. While it can seem natural to part with things or even people now, wait until you’ve thought or talked things through. There can be uneasy feelings about commitments temporarily. As well, there can be conflicting feelings as you crave intimacy and independence in equal measure. With Mars in your career and reputation sector, you’re feeling more ambitious these days, and later today, either people or
circumstances seem to work entirely in your favor. You are especially detail-oriented, and with research and analysis, you can solve a difficult problem.

Cancer

A square between the Sun and Uranus colors the first half of today with some tension and rebellious energy, dear Caner. It may be particularly challenging following all of the rules or sticking to a schedule. There can be some difficult or erratic energy in a relationship, particularly with a partner, parent, or authority figure. If a change in approach is needed, try out one now. Rigidity seems to create more resistance, so aim to be flexible. While you crave more understanding in a close relationship, if long-term goals are clashing, find ways to work around and accept this. You’re not in any mood for others telling you what to do today, but as the day advances, you see the benefits and strategic value of working with instead of against someone. You may be teaming up with a significant other to achieve a goal with great success. It’s a commitment-friendly time. Your instincts are excellent for putting your energy into activities that are likely to thrive and leave you feeling accomplished or empowered.

Leo

You may stumble upon a new way to approach an old health or work problem today, dear Leo, so try to stay positive and centered if your schedule changes abruptly. There can be difficulties concentrating with numerous things distracting you. There can be a real disdain for routine now, however, and even if you want to stick close to your plans, something can come up that changes them. New interests can distract you from the task at hand. Aim to find ways to fill your need for change, new horizons, and learning new things, but keep your routines going so that you stay grounded. The key is to find a better balance. The second half of the day has great potential to be increasingly more productive and satisfying. You are rather fearless when it comes to problem solving and might discover a solution to a problem now, or you can turn a negative situation into a positive. You are willing to make important changes and to put the necessary effort in as well. Sharing work with someone can be enjoyable and productive now.

Virgo

In the first half of the day, a Sun-Uranus influence challenges you to better understand your feelings and expectations of others, dear Virgo. The atmosphere can be a little excitable or chaotic, and it can be difficult to discern how you feel. However, Uranian energy is also useful for awakening your mind to new ways of doing things that pull you out of ruts. You might find creative inspiration right now. Expect the unexpected and avoid hanging too tightly to traditions or the past. If you can manage to work at your own pace today, take the opportunity. Consciously pull your energy away from tense situations and let go of stress, but keep an open mind to new approaches and fresh perspectives. In the second half of the day, you are in a more focused and deliberate frame of mind. There can also be very productive activities with a significant person in your life. You seek out more intensity and passion in a relationship or project, and you’re likely to find it now.

Libra

Competitive energies with family or a partner may keep you on edge in the first half of the day, dear Libra. Uranus is active today and can be a fickle and rebellious energy, but it also has the effect of awakening us to new ways of thinking and new spins on old traditions. Change can be unsettling, but if it helps us to move forward and away from bad habits, then it’s beneficial. What’s important now is to work with Uranus instead of resisting it. Think of new ways to relate to others, freshen your mind with alternative possibilities, and open your heart to change. Interruptions to your plans may set you on a detour that ends up feeling right. In the second half of the day, focus improves tremendously, and you can barrel through tasks that usually would take much longer to complete. Concentration and commitment are the keys right now. This is a great time to get a leg up on work or health routines.

Scorpio

A Sun-Uranus square aspect today suggests some unrest or interruptions of plans, dear Scorpio. However, this can inspire a new perspective on a matter and, ideally, sends you in happy new directions. A minor work or scheduling crisis may need managing. If you’ve been suppressing frustration, it might emerge suddenly. It can be difficult to be productive with scattered energy, and stress can have a way of aggravating health problems, so do what you can to center yourself and relax. Today and tomorrow as well, remember your limits and avoid over-scheduling. In the second half of the day, your confidence builds. You can successfully channel your energy into creative or productive pursuits. This can be a great time to begin a new project or to apply yourself to important works in progress. You have more influence and persuasive power than usual.

Sagittarius

The desire to stick with what’s comfortable and familiar is strong these days, dear Sagittarius, but today, there can be some wild cards that keep you on your toes. Playing it by ear is necessary. Changes in plans can stimulate new approaches and ideas, so keep an open mind. Watch for some impatience, particularly in dealings with romantic interests or friends. Also be careful with your valuables, as you are a little more inclined to lose or misplace something. Later today, you might consider getting a new project started as you have the foresight and patience for devising a long-term strategy. This is also a strong time for romantic relationships and interactions with children. Home renovations may be in focus, but reorganization may just as well be in order. Take a closer look at expenses and think in terms of what you already have and how to better use these resources.

Capricorn

With the Sun and Uranus forming a square to one another today, if you’ve been burying frustrations, they may very well emerge and disrupt things now, dear Capricorn. Family relationships can be a little tense or strained, or unexpected events in your personal life have you feeling off schedule. Try to take a break from the routine and find new ways to enjoy yourself if your current setup seems stifling. However, be sure to entertain ideas for incorporating more stimulation into these things going forward so that abrupt mood changes are less likely. Changes of plans can sometimes lead to new ways of looking at a matter, and this can be helpful even if the initial disruption annoys you. Later today, your energy reserves are strong, so you may want to take on projects that require concentration or competitive activities. You may uncover answers to complex problems.

Aquarius

This morning, there may be changes to plans to deal with, dear Aquarius, or possibly news or conversations that touch a nerve. There may also be a tendency to speak of a matter prematurely. You can be quite stubborn when it comes to doing things on your own or your own way, and this can lead to conflicts with others now. Don’t be afraid to look within for answers. Uranus is your ruler and is also known as the awakener, stimulating change. Even if disruptions seem abrupt, they offer you a chance to see yourself and your inner motives more clearly. Boredom with your routine can lead to new adventures or a bit of mischief now! Later today, focused energy and determination can help you turn around a financial or emotional matter. Satisfaction comes from a job well done. This is a great time for getting rid of excess baggage in your life, as you have a stronger ability to see what needs to be left behind.

Pisces

Through the events of the day, and possibly disruptive ones, dear Pisces, you become aware of the need to make changes to your long-term goals or approach to friendships. People may be emotionally excitable, and schedules may not be honored as the Sun and Uranus clash in the first half of the day. You can feel pressure to come up with ideas for new projects. Erratic returns on your projects can be a source of tension. Some of you may feel motivated to fix a friendship, or you may want to break free of someone’s hold on you. Address the need for change and a little more freedom, but aim to make these changes consciously rather than reacting abruptly to the limits or restrictions you may be feeling. Later today, your display of strength of character can open up opportunities to you, as others are seeing you as particularly competent. Your desire to make things happen has been strong recently with Mars in your sign, and now you benefit from the support of Pluto to make positive changes and improvements.

2017 New Year Message from Shelly Dressel

As we begin a new year, this talks about the completion of a cycle; both 9 year and cosmic. It talks about the shifts in energy, about opening to your inner voice and about how changes can create greater ease for you. We WILL see greater balance in the world and in our lives.

2017: New Beginnings and the Year of Sacred Earth

a message from Archangel Michael channeled by Celia Fenn

2017 at a Glance

a message from Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

To read more of Gillian’s insight, please visit her website, The Quantum Awakening

As I look deep into the very lengthy hallways of 2017 my heart quickens with both anticipation and caution. The doorways of 2017 are great and full of expectations. Like a very immense Egyptian God of old, our human door of expectation is so much smaller in comparison to what 2017 asks of us. We all stand side-by-side, antechamber to vestibule, arm in arm. We think about the panorama of 2016 that showed our weakness and shadow in ‘fool Technicolor’. All that we could have been laced with all that we once were, and divided by all that we are destined to be.  This powerful year comes in full regalia and ceremony to give us our new year’s orders.

2017 will unfold its beautiful wings, into a year of enchantment, 365 days filled with adventure, and unexpected inexplicable serendipitous overlays, disguised as every day events.  Like all ‘new’ years, 2017 is a living breathing entity, a life form birthed from Source. Every ‘New’ Year is actually a living radiance that has wrapped itself around earth’s hologram of dates and times, wants and needs. Every year has a different taste, a different truth, a different memory attached and a different teaching.

This year will bring Earth into a place circumventing its self, creating an invisible Fibonacci bridge to the future. Like a merry-go- round humanity will pick which water colored horse it will ride. The sky and Earth will be unveiled and filled with celestial messages. Eyes will be forced opened, as all see what unfurls its many wings into a pattern of new flight.  Everything that scientists once knew as solid truth will now be discharged, like a student in the vice principal’s office on the first day of school. Ancient Stellar truths demonstrate themselves newsworthy without any scientific voice or proof. All is heard loud and clear, in the halls of records, as molecules shift; beliefs turn upside down, life is hardened by old sticky truths.

2017 will ask you to move through the nuances, the hidden levels, and instructions of what is invisible to the human spectrum, like a stealth warrior in the dark of night. Gathering much data, this Light seeks to know itself as a parent that has been absent for eons of time.  Without expectations, without anchors, without regrets or even questions, a smoothness of alignment occurs. Like two oceans from opposite poles, meeting each other for the first time, blending swirling, becoming one again. In this time of extreme precision and acute mirroring of every thought, one is able to create a fine mix of compromise laced with compassion.

2017 moves the awareness into a Holy Sector of the human biology. It is in this place of filled emptiness that many will find exactly what and who pulls the strings of so many lights. In the plethora everything is turning and swirling, dying and birthing itself simultaneously, nothing is stagnant, nothing is still, all is constantly in movement, as it should be!

It is this place of Holiness that humanity will enter in 2017.The many Mansions of what is divinely holy will reign as each creates their own mysterium. Time shifts in accordance with its own needs not looking at the little human picture.  Completion of person plan and plot occurred last year. Leaving an empty spot, that is open for creation.  A holy place that is yours to decorate with wishes come true and dreams made manifest. After the completion of 999, all that once was changed clothes in the see-saw dressing room of the cosmos. The roles have shifted, the eyes have opened. People look in the mirror and do not recognize their reflection. Blueprints of old have been disposed of and DNA placed away for safekeeping.

Tuesday is Ruled by Mars

Tuesday is a Mars day, and just like the god of war, this is the time to tap into magicks to call for strength and courage. This day of the week is for rebels and warriors. If you are facing a challenge of any kind, need a boost to your courage, or want to enhance your passions, Tuesday is the day of the week for you.
Some suggestions for Tuesday enchantments would include:

*Wearing the fiery colors associated with this day: scarlet, red, black, and orange. Don some of the more daring and bewitching colors of your wardrobe on Tuesdays and turn a few heads

*Carrying a bloodstone in your pocket or wearing garnet-studded jewelry to reinforce your convictions

*Working with protective and fire-associated plants such as the snapdragon, thistle, and holly to boost your shields and bravery

*Burning spicy-scented energy-enhancing candles to add a little magical aromatherapy to your home
