Your Daily Tarot Cards for Saturday, April 20th

The Daily Tarot Card for April 20 is The Fool

The Fool

Keywords: open to possibilities, journey, quest (for something, to realize a dream, etc.)!

Astrological Correspondence: Uranus

The Fool is the card without a number. It usually is positioned at the beginning of the major arcana but can be either at the beginning or the end as it depicts our learning experience through life from beginning to end. The Fool signifies one’s potential and abilities. Embarking on his journey toward self-knowledge, the Fool is at the same time adventurous and fearful, seemingly open to all possibilities, yet apparently unaware of the dangers along the way. It is a card of pure adventure. Irrational impulses, foolishness, and poor judgment are some of the negative aspects of this card. At the end of his journey the Fool has learned life’s lessons and is aware of his place in the world and is at one with himself.

*********

The Daily Love Tarot Card for April 20 is Temperance

 

Temperance

The card says Romance with a capital ‘R,’ and it vibrates to a higher frequency. When it is real, you have no doubt someone loves you. It is why you love them so much. You are high on each other and the pursuit of happiness. Trust your instincts and wisdom. Resonate with confidence that attracts and holds the partner who looks for real substance and is sure they have found it in you

*********

The Tarot Power Card for April 20 is The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man

You’ve denied a call to action that came from the most important person: yourself. As a result of pushing away parts of yourself that you don’t like, you may find yourself going around in circles or not making any progress at all. You’re not the victim here, as you have the power to release yourself at any time. Trust your gut feelings more, even if it doesn’t look good on paper. You have to address this sometime soon.

The Aries-Taurus Cusp

The Aries-Taurus Cusp

Discover the unwavering success of the Cusp of Power

 

If you’re born on the Aries-Taurus cusp, from April 17 to April 23, you are a firecracker and a force to be reckoned with! You were born on the Cusp of Power, so it’s no surprise that you’re authoritative, resilient, and dedicated to your passions and goals.

Born on this cusp, you are influenced by both active Mars and sensual Venus — the ruling planets of Aries and Taurus. Mars is a planet of motivation and drive, while Venus embodies the power of persuasion. Together, this combination of energy is an unstoppable mix that has you leading the way up the ladder of success!

Being born on the Cusp of Power blesses you with a great deal of strength and influence. You’re a natural born leader who’s destined for success at home and in the workplace. Others will continually turn to you for guidance and inspiration, so make sure to be kind when they do! You have a tendency to be quite forceful, and your strong opinions can sometimes rub others the wrong way. If you lead with a smile on your face, nothing will get in your way.

People born on the Aries-Taurus cusp are incredibly independent with a sassy sense of humor. You love spending time out and about with friends and family, but you don’t need others to support you. While this makes you a pretty exceptional individual, it can confuse your loved ones and sometimes drive them away. Make sure to tone down the harsh, blunt, or sarcastic comments when you’re around others who are more sensitive than you — which is practically everyone. Let your fun-loving, understanding side shine more often and watch your fans and followers grow.

If you’re born on the Cusp of Power, you know how to have a fun time while working your way to the top, and your outgoing social skills can get you anywhere. You have thick skin and can handle a lot, but try not to let your independence detach you from your loved ones — you need them more than you know! Practice patience and remember that kind leaders can do incredible things.

Strengths:

Strong, energetic, fun, smart, humorous, courageous

You have the energy and determination to climb mountains in both your professional life and your home and family life. You want to be the best and want to lead your team to success! You love to be out and about, and you play even harder than you work — if you can imagine that. You’re your own best friend and are strong enough to know that you’ll always be OK no matter what happens.

Weaknesses:

Stubborn, pushy, harsh, selfish, controlling

It’s very hard for you to let things go or let others do things that you know you could do better. You tend to get fired up about an opinion, idea, or project and then you dig in your heels and refuse to drop it. You like things done the best way possible, and you aren’t able to easily trust others to do your bidding. Sharing responsibilities is tough for you — almost as tough as it is to share your feelings and life! Your independence and freedom are important, but try to be sensitive to your friends and family and realize that their desires and opinions matter, too.

Compatibility:

You’re a tough one to pin down! You have your independent, wild ways and it takes a strong individual to make you commit. But when you’re ready to tie the knot and have a family of your own, you’ll do anything to make sure they’re happy and secure. Earth signs will understand your desire for success and will also be busy pushing themselves, allowing you to maintain a lot of your freedom. This hard-working romance will probably feel more like a partnership than a close or cuddly relationship. Air signs would also make great partners for you, because their detached nature means they will not be hurt by your strong opinions or your need for independence. They are also free-thinking and will have some strong opinions of their own, leading to a few passionate debates!

Advice:

Learn to let go and love more! Your initial reaction is to control the situation in front of you, which is part of what makes you a great leader, but work on handing over the reins once in a while — it will make you more likeable and improve your relationships. Pay attention and have patience with your friends and family. If you stop being so stubborn, you’ll learn how nice it is to be able to care for and share things with them.

Celebrities:

Born on April 20th, Happy Birthday Aries!

Happy belated birthday Pennysword..from Piedad

Happy Birthday, Aries!

 

IF YOU ARE BORN ON April 20, you are an Aries birthday individual who is capable of being very logical and considerate. In certain situations, you remain calm when other people would go nuts. That kind of collectiveness is certainly useful in management positions or while parenting.

If today is your birthday, you are likely to think with your heart sometimes instead of your brain. This can give people the impression that you are spacey or wishy-washy even.

The April 20th birthday personality seems to like the tranquility of peaceful and undisclosed settings. This Arian likes to take his or her time and tends to have a soft-spoken and pleasing disposition. You do not like massive crowds nor do you like to be hurried. Some may think that you are a little precarious or moody because of it.

Most of your friends love your warm and caring attitude but more so your imagination. You have always been a curious individual and like to be in control over your state of affairs.

However, there are times when you get a little depressed and feel out of sorts. Nothing, not even a day out with your favorite people would cure you. Treating yourself to a spa day or a picnic would change your mood in no time.

The 20th April birthday horoscope predicts that you are close to your friends and family. You are a valued loved one but there could be a lot of pressure associated with these relationships. Arians born today want to live by their own set of rules and may have developed other values than what was forced upon them as a child.

As an Aries born on this zodiac birthday, you love to be chased. This is unlike most other Arians. In a relationship you look for someone who is loyal, has emotional maturity, and who has compelling urges for momentary pleasures.

The April 20 birthday astrology rightly shows that you can be taxing, at times, persistent and controlling but you try to remain realistic. You give your word… people can count on it. You, as a rule, do not go around making impossible promises.

You who are born on this day have ambitions. With your mind set on living a worry-free lifestyle, you work on achieving financial goals. You know how to use the salary you were given to your advantage but you will accept the highest paid position offered.

Money management is one your best assets. You know when to buy and when to save. Some say that money is evil but you believe that not having enough makes people do desperate things.

The 20 April birthday meanings show that you need to have a balance between eating nutritious meals and fitness. Since you are usually active, you need to eat better food than what they serve at the drive-thru windows. Stay away from those tantalizing dessert trays and make regular appointments with all health care physicians.

Those of you born this day have careers that come with stress so be watchful of signs that something may be wrong. Working out or meditation will be useful tools to help with nervous tension. In addition, it will help maintain that youthful appearance you desire.

The 20th April birthday personality is said to live in their own world. You have the ability to stay calm during stressful times or crises. You have problems, however, staying away from junk foods. Your image is important to you, as you want to live the tranquil life of one who is respected and successful.

This Aries prefer the peaceful sounds of the country rather than the hustle and bustle of city life. If you were born on April 20, your birthday characteristics show that you are good with handling money.

You know how to save for rainy days, as you are no stranger to disappointment and setbacks. Aside from bouts with slight depression, you are in excellent mental health.

Your Daring Dating Horoscopes for the Week of April 20th

Your Daring Dating Horoscopes for the Week of April 20th

David Wells, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

Aries
Your soulmate is a misunderstood word, it literally means a mate of your soul, not ‘the one’ not ‘your other half’; a mate of your soul. Anyone who helps you along the way on a deeper level will qualify so why not start there? A helpful soul could be just the one you’re looking for mate. Venus agrees.

Taurus
As the Sun comes over the horizon and into your sign the focus is on you and yes, you’re another year older so that begs the question; what are you really doing about your love life? Uranus in your sign says shake it up T, by that he means outrageous behaviour for someone of your age. Fabulous.

Gemini
Is there any point? You’ll meet someone, fall head over heels, do the thing you do, fall into complacency, get bored, fall out of love, seek marriage counselling and start all over again. All right happy-head? Stop with the stories, start an adventure without a script. A free spirit is about to help you with that.

Cancer
There aren’t enough hours in the day for you to fit everything in, but you know who flutters his or her eyelids and suddenly you’re free. That’s all the clue you need Cancer. Who do you put first, who do you set others aside to spend time with? Still looking for something you’ve already found?

Leo
Love advice comes in many forms but there’s only one way to find out if any of it is going to work. Go on Leo, that blind date, dating site, courageous hello or foolish stumble may be all you need. Jupiter suggests a plethora of opportunities; Venus adds adventurous spirit. Make the most.

Virgo
As far as someone is concerned you’re hardly at the top of his or her list, sorry about that Virgo but isn’t it better to know than not? Harsh as it may seem, a mate lets you know the truth and that’s a great big favour as it drops the scales so you can see who is more than interested. Better deal ahead.

Libra
Surprisingly, you’re in demand! It’s no surprise to me or anyone else Libra, it may be to you but that’s because you’ve failed to notice the queue forming. You’ve been so busy doing goodness knows what, now things are quietening down you can concentrate on your love life once more.

Scorpio
At the start of the working week you’re likely to meet a new starter or two, a new face that could take you by surprise as you find yourself thinking about him or her a little more than you usually would. You’ve got a secret crush, how long before you make it public?

Sagittarius
There are those who’d call you irresponsible, call you reckless or call you foolish and you get to call them boring. Who are you and what have you done with Sagittarius? An air of devil may care, a touch of over the top activity could shock some but delight others, one in particular. New exploits from Venus.

Capricorn
You’re in one of your most persuasive times Capricorn, not only for your love life by the way, those dulcet tones of yours could persuade someone off the fence and into the garden for a sherry or two. The caveat is not to try too hard, allow space for the woo to happen Cap.

Aquarius
With Mars in your new love, true love sky you’re pretty much set for some action over the next few weeks. Yay! Before you set off the fireworks you should know that by action Mars means conversation. Light the blue touch paper with charm, wit and sparkling bonhomie.

Pisces
Venus is out of your sign and into making mischief elsewhere, so now you’re left with Neptune on his own. After weeks of flirting, hair flicking and smiling until your mouth hurts you’ve reached a point where someone should have emerged as the front runner. Run after them.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of April 20th

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of April 20th

Sarah Bartlett, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

With the sun moving into creative Taurus, and Venus moving into madcap Aries, we can all enjoy the pleasures of love tinged with a few romantic escapades.

There’s a feeling of warmth from loved ones, a better sense of direction in all close relationships, and some of us may even have commitment or serious bonding on our minds. Whatever the case, use this energy to stir your own love cocktail in any way you desire.

 

ARIES

While Venus is still working your sign, there’s really no choice but to open up about your true values. Consider whether you feel under some obligation from others, from your partner if attached, or if single, just from your own sense of self-doubt? Knock them all, metaphorically, on the head, and get on and live.

 

TAURUS

The Uranian energy will be in your sign for quite a few years, so don’t fear it, go with its flow of impetus, radical ideas and waking up to the truth of who you really are. This week, a sudden realisation occurs that you’re about to embark on a course of romantic fun or you discover exactly the truth about your own feelings and someone else’s. So let the unpredictable aspects of love work its magic for you – it’s now or never to make a commitment to your happiness.

 

GEMINI

Admirers, lovers or partners are probably more worried about their own self-development than about any spiritual affinity with you right now. But behind any hard-edged ego is also another lonely child who has a soul like your own. This week you can start to make romantic tracks again towards the merger of true soul-mates.

 

CANCER

If single, it feels a chapter maybe closing, or maybe a new one beginning? If attached, maybe just a realisation that it’s time to welcome change, or evolve together, rather than apart. This week, all the ‘maybes’ aside, relationship wounds can be dumped, but more importantly, you can free yourself from your attachment to those very psychological injuries.

 

LEO

It’s a time when, if you don’t accept that you need to rethink the way you love, you will simply end up sabotaging your feelings. Similarly, you might deny your desire for someone, saying ‘no, of course I don’t feel that, who me?’ That ‘feeling’ is something you’ve got to now acknowledge and express. With Venus and Mercury in fellow fire sign, hot-headed Aries, it makes sense to crack on and get your message across.

 

VIRGO

Thanks to the influence of the sun in fellow Earth sign, Taurus, you maintain the charm factor and diplomatic skills to keep relationships light-hearted and creative. This week you face the mirror and realise you are also more self-aware. If single, you draw intelligent characters into your life. In fact, you are natural, seductive, authoritative and balanced again.

 

LIBRA

If you can be less worried about staying in control of a romantic situation, and more open to what may be, you will discover better communication with someone too. Thanks to Venus and Mercury in your love angle, sexual honesty, tolerance, space and acceptance of your differences is on offer. Try it all out and see how vitalising it can be.

 

SCORPIO

Now no-one likes to be emotionally blackmailed. But there does seem to be someone who’s intent on profiting from your generous heart right now. This week, you really have no choice but to break free from the chains of those who are taking advantage, and show that you have the courage to be a little selfish too.

 

SAGITTARIUS

It’s time to stop telling yourself you’re not good enough to be loved. Also, give up on that distorted thinking where you pick out something negative about your admirer and dwell on it to the exclusion of anything else. Welcome the positive, and you welcome true love into your world.

 

CAPRICORN

You’re either falling in love with someone new or tangled up in a love knot. Of course, you might simply obey the ‘rules’ of the love game and play safe. But can you honestly say that you will ‘obey’ anyone apart from yourself? Do whatever it is you have to do your own way, but at least honour your independence.

 

AQUARIUS

It’s time to listen, appreciate and open your heart to what you truly want. If you are loving your partner because of their talents, then please remember that you have those gifts too. The planets simply confirm to you that it’s never too late to be as ambitious in love as you are for your future.

 

PISCES

This week, you have every opportunity to achieve great personal happiness in any new venture. But remember, there will be times when you feel like you’re having to battle a lover or partner to be heard. So enjoy a little light-hearted banter and some intriguing fun.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 20th

COSMIC CALENDAR

Following the 48 hours of preparation before yesterday’s enlightening full moon, we now have the two days afterward to continue spreading goodwill around the world. Helping everyone to live up to their higher-destiny paths in this lifetime is the sun entering earthy Taurus (1:56 a.m.) until May 21, Venus entering fiery Aries (9:12 a.m.) until May 15 and Juno entering watery Cancer (9:39 a.m.) until June 20. It is rare to have three celestial bodies making impresses into new zodiacal signs within less than eight hours.

The moon in Scorpio trine to Neptune in Pisces (11:41 a.m.) supplemented by an inspirational, 72-degree link between Mercury and Pluto (10:53 p.m.) should boost your morale while Venus squaring Juno (8:51 a.m.) and Mars opposing Ceres retrograde (10:15 p.m.) gnaw at your feelings of self-reliance. Be aware of the nearly 12-hour void lunar uncertainty zone that begins at 9:01 p.m. and lasts until fiery Sagittarius moon arrives at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.

[Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

The Witches Moon Phase for Saturday, April 20th

Wandering
The Witches Moon Phase for Saturday, April 20th

Waning Gibbous
Illumination: 99%

Tomorrow the Moon will be in a Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with a illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9am and Midnight depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning. During this phase the Moon can also be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon

 

Ok, You Asked for It……Second Question of the Day

Well you really didn’t ask for it but since no one has replied to the first one yet, I thought why not try a second one. I know, I know, good grief does this witch ever stop? No, you should know that by now.

I will try to make this as short as possible. All the ladies have the weekend off and I am here by myself except for my trusted familiar Kade. So to add a little noise to the office, I turned on the TV in the ladies’ area. I like to watch shows that involve murders, who-done such as, “Wives with Knives,” “In Ice Cold Blood,” “Snapped,” well you get the idea. Don’t get me wrong, I am not secretly a mass murderer or Jack the Ripper reincarnated at all. Stuff like that just fascinates me. But one thing that puzzles me when I listen to these shows…..at the end they do a short interview with the victim’s families. One, two or all of them generally say, “We forgive them for killing so and so.”

To this day, every time I hear that I am baffled. I don’t know if I could forgive someone who had killed someone I loved or not. Could you? That is my question to you, could you forgive someone who has killed or taken the life of someone you loved?

 

 

*My opinion, I don’t believe if I was an average person I could. Now being a witch, that’s a different story. I am a gray witch, I make no denial of that. I believe I would cross the line and give Karma a little boost in dealing with that person. Or else I might just skip Karma altogether and deal with that person directly. I know the topic might be a little morbid but I have the channel on Oxygen and they have all these good murder-mystery shows on Saturdays. Every time I hear someone say, “they forgive the person who killed their loved ones,” I have to stop and scratch my head. I was just so of curious, have the drugs effected my mind or how do other people feel about this?”

And you are hoping they never leave me in the office again by myself, lol!

Witch Tip #139 for April 20

Spring Fantasy 2

Witch Tip #139

Many Witches believe that turning or stirring things clockwise (Deasil) will bring positivity, luck, and success. Using the counterclockwise (Widdershins) motion, however, can bring chaos and misfortune. These two are often reversed when practicing in the Southern Hemisphere.

Spirit Message of the Day for April 20 – You are Limitless

DON’T DO IT

“In this greatest of all adventures, you cannot ever be less than you really are: limitless, forever, and totally awesome. But you can think that you are less than you really are. Don’t!”

“There are very, very, very few don’ts in this kingdom of thoughts. But seeing yourself as less than you really are should be one of those don’ts. Actually there are just a few should bes in this kingdom, too. Let’s keep it that way!”

“What if you were born a healthy, wealthy, and wise as you now dream of becoming? Or, what if you didn’t have any of the challenges you now face? If this were the case, you wouldn’t be a fraction of the person that you already are today. There’s a reason to the madness, a reason you sometimes feel trapped, stuck, fallen, and bruised. And it has everything to do with the enlightenment you sought and the triumphs that are only now possible. You wanted more –more than having everything handed to you on a silver platter — and you got it. And this makes all the difference. Angels sing your name.”

Let’s Talk Witch – How to Cleanse Your Living Space

SPRING FANTASY

Let’s Talk Witch – How to Cleanse Your Living Space

Clear away any clutter that’s collected on floors or surfaces. Recycle those stacks of newspapers, throw away those old bills, and send out that dirty laundry.

Using an old cloth or your broom, dust the corners of your ceilings for cobwebs. Dust the tops of your curtains and windowsills as well.

Starting at the doorway of your house, sweep the floors in a generally clockwise direction. Sweeping is an excellent example of practical magic, cleansing on both a physical and spiritual level.

Be sure to take the dustcan with you as you sweep. As my mother used to say “bring the garbage to the dustpile, not the dustpile to the garbage.”

Once you’ve finished sweeping, fill the bucket about halfway with hot water and floor cleaner. I recommend Murphy’s wood oil soap, or a pine-scented cleaner.

Add a few drops of the pine oil and eucalyptus oil to the bucket of water. Crumble up a leaf or two of sage and add that as well. Drop the pennies in.

Say a little prayer over the water to the God of your own understanding. Ask that your house be blessed, peaceful, and harmonious.

Starting again at the door of your house, mop the floors in a generally clockwise direction. Envision the charmed water clearing away old, muddy energy and leaving your house sparkling and new.

When you discard the old mop water, be sure to save the pennies from the bottom of the bucket. Wash them under warm tap water and say a blessing over them.

Now, place the pennies in the outer four corners of your house, beginning in the north and moving clockwise. Ask the spirits of the four directions to make your home safe, secure, and prosperous.

Using the lemon-scented polish, lovingly polish any wooden furniture in your house. Once again, envision old vibrations being cleared away.

Light your sage or sweetgrass and smudge the outer corners of each room, moving once again in a clockwise direction.

If this feels comfortable, use either your athame or the index finger of the hand you write with to sketch a pentacle in the air over each door and window of your house, envisioning the opening sealed against unwanted energies.

Tips:

Pagans believe that moving clockwise (“deosil”) invokes and that moving counterclockwise (“widdershins”) banishes.

If you have wall-to-wall carpeting or are very allergic to dust, you can perform this ritual with a vaccuum cleaner instead of a broom. Simply sprinkle a small amount of the charmed water (minus floor cleaner!) on the carpet.

You may wish to chant softly to yourself while cleaning. Any simple, rhyming chant will do. Here’s one example: “Gunk away, good stuff stay.”

When I smudge, I like to chant the names of the Goddess to myself: “Isis Astarte Diana, Hecate Demeter Kali, Innaana.”

Feel free to experiment with what you place in your mop water. I also like to use rose oil (love) and patchouly oil (prosperity).

The Energy of Saturn

The Energy of Saturn

SATURN: THE PLANET OF KARMA

Saturn doesn’t make things easy. That’s the role of the taskmaster of the zodiac. Saturn commands us to get to work and to work hard. Discipline and responsibility are important to this planet, yet if we’re eager to conquer the world, that’s okay, too.

Much like Father Time, Saturn implores us to look at the clock (its glyph, after all, is the sickle of Chronos, the God of Time). Is there time for everything we want to do, or are there limits? Those limitations are important to Saturn, and we must learn to manage them. Restrictions are the province of this planet, as is any form of discipline or delay.

In keeping with the passage of time, Saturn governs old age along with the lessons it teaches us. Learning life’s lessons is key to this planet, in keeping with its role as teacher. The majesty of older age also brings with it a certain sense of tradition, conventionality (our learned patterns of behavior) and wisdom, and Saturn is mindful of these characteristics. This planet applauds our perseverance and the fact that we’ve withstood the test of time (yes, time comes up once again). This senior status further brings with it a measure of authority, and Saturn lords over that as well.

Structure, order and the way in which we conduct our affairs are all ruled by this ringed planet. Contraction and the reining in of assets are also important here. Lastly, Saturn, again in its role as teacher, concerns itself with karma and the lessons which past experiences might bring.

It takes Saturn 28-30 years to complete its orbit of the zodiac. It is masculine energy and rules both Capricorn and Aquarius, and the Tenth and Eleventh Houses.

The Witches Guide to Saturdays

Saturday is a day filled with opportunities to clean up and clear out. So if you are wondering why Hecate is assigned to this day, take another look at what she symbolizes and the magick that is associated with her. That should answer the question.

Hecate was the oldest form of the Greek Triple Goddess, as she presided over heaven, the underworld, and earth. Crossroads where three roads met were especially sacred to Hecate, earning her the title of Hekate of the Three Ways. It’s interesting to note that even after the worship of other goddesses waned, ancient people still worshiped Hecate as the Queen of the Underworld and the Guardian of the Three-Way Crossroad. It was also believed that if you left her an offering of food there, she would grant you her favors. As Hecate Trivia, her triple images were often displayed at these crossroads, where she was petitioned on the full moon for positive magick and on the dark of the moon for cursing and dark magick.

While this last bit of information sounds a little ominous, keep in mind that Hecate/Hekate was known by many titles and is a shapeshifter. Her appearance could and did change often. As a dark moon goddess, her faces are many. To some she may appear as a old crone, hunched over a smoking cauldron and draped in a midnight cape. To others she may appear as a dark beautiful, mysterious, and mature woman wearing a shimmering crown. To some she may be perceived as a maiden priestess. She was called the “most lovely one,” the Great Goddess of Nature, and the Queen of the World of Spirits. This dark goddess knows her way around the earth and the underworld. All the powers of nature, life, and death are at her command.
