Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 31

August ends on a fairly stable note under the moon’s transit in Taurus — the sign of the lunar orb’s exaltation. Physical fitness, gardening, cooking and baking are back in style. Gains can be made in money matters and career endeavors thanks to the moon making a grand triangle with Saturn in Capricorn (last night at 11:18pm) and the sun in Virgo (9:43am). Perseverance to reach sensible aims appears realistic although emotional tensions can knock you off course as Venus makes a testy, 45-degree aspect with the sun (1:10pm). Tweak this solar link with Venus in the direction of strengthening your creative artistry and friendship-building skills. Enjoy an evening of music, dance or other forms of entertainment as the moon makes a supportive, 60-degree link to the soulful vibrations that emanate from God of the Seas and treasure-laden Neptune (10:34pm).

[Note to readers: All times are now 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.]

Wiccan
It is Friday morning and as usual we are running late. Since we are, I am going to start with the horoscopes and other divination first. If we have time afterwards, I will post some material on Witchcraft. Since today is Friday, everyone is in a hurry to get out of here early to start their long weekend. I will be working tomorrow and Monday both. I am especially excited about tomorrow and also a nervous wreck at the same time. I will be your host for the chat tomorrow. If you do not know the chat start time it is 10:00 a.m. central time. I look forward to chatting with each of you. I have one request, please don’t laugh at me when I make about a dozen mistakes trying to chat. I have never chatted before. I probably need to go this afternoon or tonight and see what I am getting myself into. I am sure we will have a very good time and I look forward to seeing you there. The addy for the chat room is below.

Have a blessed day,

Lynette

Your Karmic Number for August 30

22

Multitasking has you unfocused and disorganized. This number reveals that you feel overwhelmed and under appreciated. Somehow you got lost in the details and forgot about the big picture. You haven’t been asking for help because you feel a burden you didn’t work through from a previous life. It is okay to say no. This is a time to walk away and take a breather. Transform your skills of rebuilding the world in your mind into accomplishing something on a small scale. Take baby steps instead of attempting huge strides. You will thank yourself for taking an easier way.

Your Daily Ogham Reading for Aug. 30

Saille-Willow

saille

The willow tree is often found growing along rivers and in areas of high water concentration. In nature it can protect riverbanks, but in human populated areas it can be a destructive force to drainage systems and walkways. This is why the letter Saille, the willow, is often associated with emotions, dreams, and the subconscious. It is a tree that longs to break up our outer protective world to get into the deep recesses to find more water and nourishment. Drawing this letter is a cause for serious soul searching.

Straif-Blackthorn

straif

This thorny tree is known for it’s negative uses over the years. It has been used for cattle proofing with its thorns, the berries have been turned into alcohol, and the thorns were once dipped in poison as a weapon. Drawing this letter brings forth ideas of pain, negativity, pessimism, and potential conflict. If Straif comes up in your reading it is very wise to pay attention to any warnings.

Fortune – This Ogham can denote very bad signs ahead. Pay very close attention to matters in life that way you can avoid the warning that you were given.

 

 

Ura-Heather

ura

The beauty of heather flowers is one reason it is associated with the Irish Goddess of love, fertility, and new growth. Be happy when you draw this letter because it denotes love, companionship, and passion. Whether it will be a new love or an old love rekindled, Ura is a powerful symbol and one that may bring great luck in your love life.

The Emperor

card_150x285-bruegel-horoscope-4

When the Emperor card shows his face, it’s a sign of dominance and strength, two qualities that may be lacking in your love life right now. An overall loss of self-confidence could be to blame, or maybe you just aren’t feeling as sexy as usual. Either way, the Emperor is a sign that it’s time to face your sexual demons head on. Whatever’s holding you back from experiencing pure pleasure shouldn’t be a problem much longer if you’re willing to confront and conquer your sexual insecurities.

Tarot Card of the Day for August 30

 Six of Wands

27

This suit, most often called “Wands” and sometimes called “Rods” or “Staves,” represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.

The Six of this suit points to the respect and acknowledgment due to you for your efforts to solve the problems of your community. The image is usually of a victory parade, after the celebrated leader helped troops win a pivotal battle.

It took the whole tribe to win the victory, of course, but it was the leader’s heroism and clarity under pressure that inspired them to overcome. The team is thrilled that the leader led them to victory. This card points to a time to let everyone relax and celebrate — if you are the leader, let them applaud you. They are seeing their better selves reflected in you — a victory indeed!
