The Wisdom of Buddha

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.

Your Charm for Today

Today’s Meaning:
This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is emotional, loving, intuitive, imaginative, shrewd, cautious, protective and sympathetic. This could be an elder you look up too.

General Description:
Fourth sign of the Zodiac, June 22nd to July 23rd. Ruled by the Moon; correct metal, Silver. Those born under Cancer’s influence were supposed to be keen observers, imaginative, strong willed, reliant, tenacious, impressionable, brilliant, reserved, exacting, and sometimes over anxious.

Your Animal Spirit for Today
July 19, 2016 

Coyote

Taking yourself too seriously? If you are, Coyote will throw a banana peel in your tracks just to see you take a silly spill. Coyote medicine is Trickster medicine—the practical joker, the chaos maker. If Coyote appeared in your reading today, be ready for a curveball thrown in your direction. Remember, though, Coyote uses the bizarre to help us learn lessons we just can’t seem to get any other way.

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for July 19th is Fortune

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

Fortune

Fortune represents that aspect of life that is directed by forces and events we may not understand or even be aware of. In short, Fortune deals with chance—those occurrences that manage to alter even the most structured of lives, usurp man’s “best laid plans.” While the effects of Fortune are unpredictable, the outcome is always change; sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Our path through life is never a ride down a perfectly straight highway. Sometimes we may even experience hairpin turns or complete reversals of direction. Fortune is strong reminder that despite our plans, the Universe has its own agenda from which we cannot escape participation.

Strength is not as much about winning as it is about achieving balance, overcoming hardship, and using well crafted persuasion to gain allies.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow, Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 20th

Get A Jump On Tomorrow….

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 20th

by Rick Levine

 

General Horoscope

We take ourselves pretty seriously today, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Although the reflective Moon slipped into conceptual Aquarius last night at 11:10 pm EDT, we can’t escape from the power of our feelings now. The Moon’s opposition to Venus in majestic Leo can create awkwardness in a relationship. However, a trine between romantic Venus and responsible Saturn encourages us to value stabilization over fun and games.

Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19

There is no question about it — you are a force to be reckoned with in the department of love today. Venus gives you the gift of heightened charm while her proud trine to taskmaster Saturn tempers your behavior with deliberate actions. However, your lack of motivation could be a problem as your present comfort zone creates a temporary bubble of safety around you. Nevertheless, initiating a discussion on a sensitive topic strengthens a relationship. It’s smarter to build stability in calm seas than to wait for the next storm to hit.

Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20

Your interactions with others are so smooth today that you can charm your way into someone’s heart. Luckily, your ability to approach new relationships with both vitality and responsibility enhances your personal life. Your impulse to create art, establish a new enterprise or organize a social event can infuse you with an enduring passion. Whatever attracts you now becomes part of you, bringing lasting pleasure and well-earned respect.

Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20

You may feel as lucky as a four-leaf clover today, and you won’t even have to kiss a leprechaun to make your dreams come true. However, you must move the energy out of your head and into your body. Treat yourself to a therapeutic massage, go out for an evening of dancing or tell that special person how much you care. But don’t just drift through the day; make well-defined plans and commit to them. Ultimately, you will be judged by your actions, not your intentions.

Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22

You may not set the world on fire with the heat of your passion today, but you can reliably keep the love light burning on a very low flame. Although romantic Venus is traveling though playful Leo, somber Saturn places a more serious spin on things. Relying on common sense works effectively now as you establish the authority needed to further your personal or professional goals. But don’t waste time looking for immediate gratification; passing pleasures can’t hold a candle to the enduring connection that comes from mutually earned respect and admiration.

Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22

Deepening a current relationship makes much more sense now than running off to initiate a new one. Loyalty becomes more important than frivolity when friendly Venus in your flirtatious sign is subdued by stern Saturn. It’s best to work closely with someone else to establish priorities and then focus on one subject at a time. Avoid leading anyone on with your good intentions. People’s expectations could become burdensome when your need for freedom grows. As Abraham Lincoln said, “Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.”

Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22

You wish you could perform your everyday tasks differently today because the old ways seem tiresome and inefficient. Although the quirky Aquarius Moon may steer you away from emotional intensity, attractive Venus harmonizes with realistic Saturn to bring you a reasonable attitude about love. Impulsive behavior can create problems so you really must lay the groundwork before rushing into a major project. Move slowly and surely toward that which makes you happy.

Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22

Normally, your high tolerance for ambiguity enables you to maintain your composure when the universe sends you mixed signals. However, you have no time for indecision while a Venus-Saturn trine offers you the opportunity to strengthen an existing relationship. Breathe deeply and consider your options, for conscious action will bring better results now than recklessness. Remember, there’s no need to hurry; change will continue to happen at just the right speed if you let it.

Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21

You are super-productive and extra-efficient today, especially when it comes to making money. However, you may be so self-sufficient that working with others is not on your radar now. Establishing trust is essential while loving Venus harmonizes with accountable Saturn. Supportive relationships should flow easily now if you share a common goal. But throwing in the towel is not a wise strategy, even if the going gets tough. Don’t lose a diamond while chasing glitter.

Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21

You are free to create new goals now as long as they are on the practical side of the fence. Fortunately, a methodical approach enables you to turn your big ideas into reality. Don’t be afraid to ruthlessly narrow your focus today, because eliminating extraneous activities is a key to your success. Be wary of getting bogged down in the minutiae; details and distractions will only disrupt the inevitable learning that ultimately is meant to expand your world.

Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19

Climbing the ladder of success leaves you feeling empty today. You are intent on finding personal enjoyment, but even a wonderful experience must be part of a larger package that also includes a heart connection. Unfortunately, your unflappable sense of determination puts your emotional desires in direct conflict with your goals. Ultimately, you can find the money and love you seek as long as you avoid getting swept up in the urgency of the moment. Never underestimate the power of persistence.

Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18

You can turn your creativity and charm into professional assets today as resourceful Venus forms a superconductive trine with productive Saturn. Luckily, you could use your charisma to graciously guide people where you want them to go without stirring up any resistance. You might be pleasantly surprised at how simple the process is and how well it all turns out. Nevertheless, it’s also tempting to take the easy way out and do nothing at all. As Pablo Picasso said, “Action is the fundamental key to success.”

Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20

You may be overly protective of someone at work today. Unfortunately, distinguishing your feelings from those of others around you can be tricky until you draw clear boundaries. You are receiving support from the cosmos that gives you inner resolve now when you need it. Your strength of purpose empowers you to secure a safe haven for you and your friends. Remember, you won’t be swept away by any drama that isn’t yours if you firmly hold onto your center.
