Witches celebrate the winter solstice with the lesser sabbat of Yule (or Midwinter). This may be the year’s shortest day, but it heralds ever-lengthening hours of daylight as the sun grows in strength. For thee Horned God has been reborn as the Sun Child, or Child of Promise, so that while we may still be light-deprived and shivering in the depths of winter, there is now real hope of being bathed in sunshine and warmth once again.
(Lady A’s escape proof bed)
Jacob thought it would be nice to add a little humor to this difficult situation. And I am listening to a kid, what the hell is wrong with me? As you know, we promised you an up-date on Lady A yesterday, which didn’t happen. We were all exhausted by the end of the day. They came and got Lady A about 9 something to take her to surgery. We were going to walk with her part of the way to surgery but we were told no we weren’t. They told us we could wait in the room or the waiting area. I decided to wait in the room. After you wait for so long the walls start to close in on you. I waited in that room for about 3 1/2 hours, sitting, walking, sitting, walking. I finally decided to go find Lord M. He had went to the surgery waiting room. The doctor had already came out and talked to him. The surgery went fine and she was in recovery. He did say he repaired another spot while he had her on the table. He said she would be sore for a few days but not in the pain she was in.
Lord Myst said we should go back to the room. The room, really. It wasn’t a room it was a cage. By the time we got back to the room, they were bringing Lady A back to it. She was asleep. After they got her situated, they told us to try and keep her awake for a bit.The first thing she said was when can I go home? Her speech was slurred and I couldn’t understand her. I really did but I pretended not too because I knew what her reaction was going to be when she found out. Lord M told her probably by this weekend. That woke her up. He told her the doctor wanted to keep her in the hospital a little longer to make sure her back was going to do the way it was suppose to. I don’t understand the medical community. They do surgery on you to fix a problem, then they have to wait and see if it does what it is suppose too. They are doctors and they are suppose to fix the problem the first time, right?
The surgery went fine. I hope we didn’t worry anybody since we didn’t do an up-date yesterday. We were just give out. We all walked the halls, up and down stairs, anything to make the time go a little faster. I thought Lady A was suppose to only be in surgery for about 45 minutes. The doctor said he took longer because he saw a few minor things that he might as well fix. I guess that is the signs of a good doctor.
Lord M called and Lady A got on the phone. She said her back was tender but there wasn’t the ripping pain that was there. She is feeling better. She told me to get up in the morning and go to the office and go to work. She is upset because she is going to miss Yule. We are planning on having a little Yule celebration in a Catholic hospital. Ought to go over well. She did tell me that this site had been down too long and if I was going to stay out here instead of the hospital, I could go to work. I have been getting a taste of what she does this morning and I don’t know how she does it. She took nothing and turned it into an organization and a business. She is one hell of a witch and one hell of a business woman. I have met many witches over my life times and I must say, she is the only one I have stuck with and admire. You might get tired of hearing me speak of her but you have never met her. I know you can feel her presence through the computer. Their have been many who say they can feel her power coming through the computer when she is on here. In person, she expresses herself as confident, in control, hard but loving and caring. I have never seen her afraid in my life. I wonder what she thought when she woke up to see the bottom of her cabin in flames. I can see her calmly walking over to the window, busting it out and pick up Kade and jumping. I would like to think that was the way it was but I would imagine she was scared just like anyone else. She did have the good sense about her to go through the window and get out. I don’t know if I would have been able to think that clearly. I am glad she was.
I have to go. It is time for the 8 pound ball of furry terror’s medicine. We will honor Lady A’s wishes and resume operations tomorrow. Think you can put up with me, cackle, cackle, cackle!

I believe that is it. Thank you.
It is your favorite wicked witch Eleanor with an up-date on Lady A, otherwise now known as the Grizzly Bear. As you know, we were told that Lady A would be getting out of the hospital this weekend. We were mis-informed by the neurologist. The neurologist assured us that she was perfectly fine to go home. The orthopedic specialist said no, she wasn’t. You can imagine how that news went over with Lady A and the rest of us, not good at all. The neurologist should have consulted with the main doctor in charge before he ever gave us false hopes. The orthopedic doctor told us he had done two scans on Lady A’s old fusion. I believe most of you know she has a three-level fusion in her back. Screws, rods, cages, and probably a few things I have forgotten over time. The scans showed she has a fracture in that fusion. She had been complaining about unusual back pain. The neurologist would just up her pain medicine to stop her from hurting. The other doctor said no matter how much pain medicine she is given, it will not stop the pain. The fracture has to be fixed. He is planning on doing that surgery tomorrow. He said she is now strong enough to hold up to a second surgery. He won’t have to open her back up that much. He said she should have a scar about 3 to 4 inches long after he is done. He is going to glue the fracture. Yes, I said glue. I had never heard of it before but I know Lady A said she had. Her sister had it done on her back when she had a small fracture in hers. I am not a nurse nor do I know all the medical procedures but I guess if Lady A knows it has been done before it is alright then. I know we were both disappointed when we heard the news she wasn’t getting out of the hospital this weekend. I tried to lighten her spirits by telling her I was going to start calling her Elmer, after the glue. You can imagine how that went over.
We don’t have any idea when she will be out of the hospital now. I have stopped listening to the neurologist. As far as I am concerned he is out of the picture. If I want to know anything anymore I will ask the orthopedic doctor. I know the reason Lady A has to stay in the hospital is not a good thing. But it does give us more time to furnish the house before she comes home. We still have several pieces of furniture to get, mainly a bed for Lady A. I want to go down to the cabin and see if there is anything left that is salvageable. Lord M told me no. That is all I have been hearing from him recently, no! I am not use to being told no. I know Lady A had a brass bed in the guest room downstairs. I don’t know if brass would burn or what shape the bed might even be in. I am going to find out. If it is able to be saved, I am going to try to save it. It was a family heirloom. Lots of heirlooms went up in that fire.
I haven’t been up close to the cabin. I have only seen it from a distance and it breaks my heart. I stood and cried. Jacob, Mystie’s son, was with me. He put his arm around me and cried. I told him that cabin held a lot of memories for me. Even though it wasn’t my home, Lady A always made everyone there feel like it was. I told Jacob I could remember his mother, Lady A, myself and a few other staying up late, talking, doing rituals and just having a big sleep over. I could see Mystie walking the hall, sleeping in the guest room or in the kitchen. I could see Lady A chasing the bobcat around the cabin trying to catch her and put her up when we came over. I could see us sitting around the fire place telling tales and spinning yarns. It is strange you never stop to think how a place is much more than a home till it is gone. All the fond and loving memories I had of Lady A’s home went up in the flames that horrible night.
I do have a heart after all. I don’t like to admit it but it does occasionally emerge. I also wanted to thank you for your donations. I was wrong about the people here. You do care and you do love Lady A as she loves you. I know she misses you and asks daily how the site is doing. I never actually knew what a tight knit group had formed here. Lady A is very fortunate to have each of you. You know as well as I do, we are very fortunate to have her. To think we almost lost her because of sick son of a bitch. But we have a long way to go and we still need donations. If you would like to give, I will put the email addy to our PayPal account below. I will also include the address to our Post Office Box.
I do want you to do one thing for me tomorrow. Light a candle and say a prayer tomorrow for Lady A as she undergoes this surgery to fix the fracture in her back. The doctor told us the surgery is due to start or scheduled for 10:00 in the morning. If you could say your prayers and light your candles at that time, I would appreciate it. I will admit I am scared and I don’t know why. I don’t want her to have this surgery but I don’t want her to suffer either. I am scared because I have no control over this situation instead I have to put my trust in a mundane doctor. Please remember our dear Lady, sister and friend tomorrow morning at 10:00. After she is out of surgery, we will up-date you sometime tomorrow.

Thank you.
Hail and Well Met, brothers & sisters. A few up-dates just for old time’s sake. First, Lady A is not getting out of the hospital this weekend. It was her dear buddy the neurologist who insisted that she would. But we have other doctors to consider in this matter, mainly the orthopedic specialist who has put Lady A back together once too often as he stated. She will not be getting out this weekend. He wants to give her upper thigh bone more time to heal because it was broken into and through her skin before he sends her home. He tried to explain to us how he put it back together but it went over our heads. We just agreed with him, what else can you do? Then the neurologist came in and told Lady A, “oh, you’ll be going home this weekend. I know you are happy about that.” She almost came out of the bed after him. We told him the other doctor disagreed and she would be in there till he decided it was time for her to go home. The neurologist flew into a fit and he said he would just see about that. I believe the neurologist has taken one too many of his own drugs. I talked to Eleanor this morning and the orthopedic doctor has been in and he said she was still staying. I guess we know now who is top doctor in that hospital.
Took Lady A’s familiar to the vet yesterday. Someone forgot to tell me that the dog hates men. When you would think of a small Pomeranian, you think they are so cute and adorable. That is what I thought of Kade(the Pom). I always saw him climb up into the car, get in his seat and look so cute. I thought he automatically did that. Was I wrong? I told him we were going bye-bye, Lady A uses it all the time. When I used it, he went and hid under the bed. I had to crawl under the bed and get him. I also got teeth prints on my hand from the adorable pup. I thought I probably scared him. I put him in the car and tried to pet him on the way to the vet’s office. That was a mistake, he took a bite out of me every time he could. Got to the vet’s office and I went in and talked to one of the ladies behind the counter. I told her I had Kade with me but he just didn’t want to cooperate with me. She is the one who told me he hated men. She went and got him out of the car without a moment’s problem. When he saw me, he would growl, snarl and acted like a rabid ball of fur. I stayed out front while they examined him. He did have some congestion in his lungs. The vet put him on a steroid and an antibiotic for a week. The medicine should clear up his cough. They did a good exam and he was fine. They were nice enough to give him a small sedative so I could get him home and out of the car. Now Eleanor and I are switching spots. She is coming to give Kade his medicine and I am going to stay at the hospital with Lady A. Eleanor told me Lady A was like a grizzly bear after she found out she wasn’t getting out of the hospital this weekend. I might be trading a small, angry ball of fur for a big grizzly bear. I tried to tell Lady A with everything they had to do to her leg and then some redo’s, she wasn’t getting out this weekend but she didn’t believe me.
Her stay in the hospital does give us more time to put furniture in the house Eleanor just had to rent. Eleanor wanted to decorate the place like a palace. I told her that they were not going to live there forever. The plan so far is to demolish what is left of the cabin and rebuild on that site. I don’t know if that would be too much for Lady A to bear or not. I know she loved the spot and I believe if we do rebuild there, it might be what the doctor ordered. But with her doctors, you never know.
I have to go to the hospital now. El (is what we call Eleanor) is ringing on the phone to see if I am on my way. If I don’t up-date you tomorrow, she will. Don’t forget the store is open and doing business. Jacob is filling orders as quickly as you purchase merchandise. He is the only one getting any peace and quiet out of this whole ordeal. He is working his heart out. Every time I tell him to take a break, he tells me, “Mom is going to need this or Mom is going to need that, I can’t.” It is amazing in just a few months time, he is calling Lady A, Mom. He grew up with her and always thought of her as a second mother. The boy has good intentions and I should leave him alone. I should also get going to the hospital.

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.
*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.
12/10 ~ Mercury (voice) ~trine~ Uranus (individuality):
This activation gives you access to your Higher Mind and opens the way for new, deeper insights that can guide & direct you at this time. Business as usual will not work, it’s time to open up to the unusual, do something different, look at things from another angle and watch the ah-ha’s start pouring in. Your intuition will be firing on all cylinders, giving you access to unprecedented clarity. While your thinking may lack discipline, your ability to access solutions to any recent (or long-standing) challenges will be off the charts. This energy will not be contained, even though it is generally all mental, you really will have a hard time keeping up with the ideas, thoughts, concepts & intuitions that come to you under this influence so try to take notes that you can refer to later when the grounding will be necessary. Pay attention to the messages that come through/from others as well since you never know how the Universe will show up. This alone is an indication that whatever your consciousness may not have been previously ready to assimilate or process is awakening now to that which is just for you!
12/10 ~ Venus (love, finances & relationships) ~square~ Neptune (illusions & delusions):
This energy is great for creative flow. If you are artistically inclined in any way, you will have access to an energy that will allow you to create something amazing. Dig deep and allow your Self to free-flow! This energy can also challenge relationships (personal or professional) to ‘keep it real’ in some way and ones which are not on a true, solid foundation are likely to dissolve under this influence. When Neptune is involved, we see life through a completely different kind of lens, often seeing the potential rather than the reality of the situation. Detach & Trust. This activation is just helping you align your true values & priorities with the vision in your mind & heart, but you will have to expand your consciousness in some way, follow your inner compass and take practical steps going forward.
12/12 ~ Mercury (communication & self-expression) ~conjunct~ Sun (core essential Self):
This energy will compel you to express yourself on many levels. Communication will be a focus, just make sure it is reciprocated. You will have access to some powerful energy that can (and probably will) make quite an impression on others (if you need to). This is a good time to travel if possible too. However, if not physically, than mentally and certainly within your own area, you will take in more information per square inch than usual. Pay attention! You may even gain the much-deserved recognition from others that you have worked so hard for.
12/15 ~ Mercury (ideas, thoughts & concepts) ~conjunct~ Venus (values, priorities & resources):
This energy encourages you to see the Divine Order or the unifying theme running through the events of your life ~ good, bad & indifferent as well as past, present & future. This is an initiation of new values around communication, self-expression and the value of your ideas. You may finally be able to express ideas that have been percolating in your head, some people say “I love you” at this time, or articulate their feelings in deeper, more expressive ways. It’s really *juicy* for your Inner Artist, this is the beginning of expressing your creative ideas in altogether new & different ways than ever before. Allow your Imagination to free-flow. Play with ideas with no attachment to outcome. Take advantage and explore all that this energy stirs within you, but don’t give in to over-thinking/processing things. These connections are richer, giving you access to deeper personal growth & development through a new understanding of how all the events of your life work together for good, ultimately. You can see the necessity of certain challenges and clearly see your own personal mastery thus far. Celebrate and choose to create some new thought patterns that integrate and reflect more beauty throughout your life.
12/16 ~ Sun (core identity) ~trine~ Uranus (individuality):
This energy is wonderful for a little self-examination and taking action on your own behalf. Look at your habits, home situation, work or anything else that is important to you and look at how you’ve gotten to where you are. What kind of choices led here? This is a good time to look around and see how you can conserve what is useful and release that which is no longer relevant for you going forward. It’s also a good energy for organizing & clearing the decks, so to speak, of things that have piled up but still need to be dealt with (or released altogether). You may be feeling very practical, possibly selfish, but it’s actually self-preservation.
With Mars moving into passionate Scorpio dark horses abound or clandestine romance gets even more secretive, if single.
If attached, the desire to scrutinise and probe the depths of your partner’s feelings brings to light more than one expected answer. In fact, right now, transformative loving is the key to long-term happiness.
ARIES
What comes to mind this week, is that maybe you need to be more compassionate with yourself? For however hard you search for that ‘special someone’ out there, perhaps it’s your own inner richness which needs to be discovered? This is the week to bravely liberate the wealth of who you are, so others can find it too.
TAURUS
This week, thanks to Mars in your opposite sign, you’re thinking some pretty deep thoughts. So count your blessings and realise that perhaps it’s time to enjoy who you are, and what you have. Whether single or attached, be the down-to-earth, laid-back person that you are meant to be. Bless yourself, as well as the rest of the world.
GEMINI
Have you glimpsed a new romantic beginning? Take care. Throughout life, we have many pathways to follow, and quite simply they are all right for the given moment that we chose to go down them. This week, be realistic and don’t give in to some fantasy future; give life to your true beliefs, and most of all, follow your instinct.
CANCER
There’s a great feeling of relief when we come full circle to a place we know, whether it’s a literal home, or the ‘home’ of ourselves. And that’s the point you’ve finally reached. In the past weeks you’ve started to enjoy a sense of harmony in your romantic life, and now you can see how comfortable you can be with someone special in the future.
LEO
Saturn’s influence may be holding you back, but there’s no going back either. Your sensual charisma is irresistible and you’re ready to throw all caution to the wind. It’s not often you feel this certain about someone, but deeper reflection gives you the insight to see their true potential.
VIRGO
With a deeper understanding of your needs, you attract the right kind of attention at last. Don’t let a moment of self-doubt take you by surprise or make you behave out of character. This week, stay focused, speak from the heart, and it may well be one of the best weeks you’ve experienced for a long time.
LIBRA
OK, so you’ve been a little wrapped up in yourself, and haven’t had much time to think about someone else. This week, nurture others too. Once you show you care, then they’ll give you enough time to run around the world and back. Just a few kind words and your life will change for the better.
SCORPIO
Your need for security and a sense of belonging is what drives you on, underpinning all your hopes, romantic yearnings and attitude to life. With Mars plunging into your own sign this week, it’s time to see how to actually make this work for you. And if single, you know now what you didn’t know a few years back: that you need to be in control of your life, and no-one else can do it for you. At last, everything will start to fall into place.
SAGITTARIUS
Enlightening moments abound concerning your independent spirit. No longer do you see commitment as giving up your freedom, but of gaining something better. So make this a week to be with someone who shares your deepest thoughts and your most exciting hopes and dreams.
CAPRICORN
You’re always there when needed: reliable and resourceful. And this week, you might wonder why it is that others are being a little distant and independent. In fact, so confident are they in their plans and schemes, they don’t seem to fall back on your good advice. Time to make it clear you need to be heard again.
AQUARIUS
It may be that you’re listening to what’s good for you, and what’s not. But there’s something else that needs to come to light, and that’s your own take on love. What makes you feel good to be alive, and how can you live with someone and still have the freedom you need? This week, you will find the answers.
PISCES
This week, it feels like your survival in the love stakes is literally, at stake. Do you reveal your frustrations, or your need for more romance? And if single, do you leap into a new relationship for the sake of it, because secretly you don’t want to be alone? Questions aside, you will find your way at last.

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Your ruler Mars is settling into his new home, looking at deep, intense emotions and secretive love affairs; hubba-hubba! Ok, it’s maybe less hubba-hubba and more furtive glances and wondering if you can really be bothered, but it’s passionate, powerful, even obsessive. Yummy. Get into it.
TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
There’s nothing wrong with living a little, nothing wrong with picking the wrong sorts every now and again. How will you know who is right if you don’t see who is wrong? Get your defences down Taurus, new romance is on its way and it needs to be lived.
GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
When you’ve sorted through three years of Saturn in your relationship sky and had Mars chasing someone new your way, you know your stuff. If someone has made it this far he or she is going to be worth the hassle. Relax, enjoy a new intimacy Gemini.
CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
When you look through any window at any time of day you’ll see people going about their business, getting on with it. How about getting on the other side of that window and do a bit more yourself? Mars wants to show you a good time, put that mince pie down and go find it.
LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
You can try and try, flirt and flirt, smile and laugh at his or her terrible jokes; or you can trust in Saturn’s last days in your new love sky and realise he’s been working up to something special. The Sun, Mercury and Venus agree with him. Shine, that’s more the enough.
VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
Neptune is fogging up the love lens, you can’t quite see if someone is all in or wishing they were somewhere else? Where are you Virgo? Are you all in or do you think it’s ok for now, but maybe not for new year? Signals are confused, lead the way. Have that chat.
LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
As you lose your relationship planet Mars, from the 9th, it’s a lot quieter. That may not sound like much fun Libra, but maybe it’s just what you need; if not what you want? It’s surprisingly liberating, and we all know what happens when you’re truly not all that bothered.
SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Mars is in your sign, he’s energetic, bold and passionate and he’s got plans. Ok, so maybe they’re not all about your love life but Jupiter and Neptune’s plans most certainly are. Romance is up, energy to get on with it is up, make of that what you will Scorps.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
Hello Venus! She’s getting some extra attention from Neptune, a romantic planet, but this seems to be more about nagging from family about your current single status and that’s maybe not so exciting. However. Don’t ignore their attempts at fixing you up with a hot date. They may get it right this time.
CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
When you know you’ve had enough, when you know it’s not for you, you’re one of the better signs calling it, saying it’s done. The same goes when you know he or she is the one, undeniably yours. Truth is truth, be it about love, money or calories; honour your truth.
AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Some of these so called social events are drearier than a dreary thing, hopeless when all you want is a hot water bottle and an early night. Go along Aquarius, show your lovely face and let Venus single out someone who will be glad you did. Sparkle.
PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
When other people can see what you can’t it’s a good idea to listen to them. If mates are telling you that bloke from accounts fancies you, they know it. If they suggest someone isn’t doing you any favours, listen to them. Watch-keepers on duty.

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Today marks the halfway mark in a personal project which last month you were ready to give up on. Now you know you have the talent and the know how to succeed. Keep going Aries, you’re nearly there!
TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
Today will be forever marked in your mind as a turning point. A time when you realised what and who wasn’t working for you. Start to make a promise to yourself that you will live life to the full.
GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Speak from the heart and don’t worry what others think of your dreams and desires. This is your life to live as you see fit. You may have to make a large outlay, but aspects suggest it will pay back tenfold.
CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
Your earning potential is well starred and if you want to ask for more money, then this would be the time to do it. Look out for loose talk losing you a friendship tonight. Let others divulge their own news Cancer.
LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
Your finances don’t seem to be your own and indeed, many of your sign may be waiting for money to come in which was expected to have arrived before now. Breathe and stay calm. Your first reaction will dictate how others help you.
VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
You can and should make life fun for yourself again. How do you do this? By cutting contact with those you know have been bringing you down. Your element of earth sees you finally willing to commit to something you resisted last year. Ring now for honest talking.
LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Are you over analysing what’s going on, or do you really know that the path you are on is one you have to push others to help you walk down? Or could it be a case of you wanting what you cannot have.
SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Don’t rush what you are doing, or you’ll give others the impression that you don’t really care about the path you are on and that you are only reacting for effect. You and I know that’s not true, so pay attention to detail.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
Mix ups earlier in the week left you feeling as if life had escaped your control. That is not true, even though it may seem so. Show you are in control by putting your own time into professional matters today.
CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Recent events saw you let down by a face you thought you could trust. This would all be very well if you had shut them out of your life, but they still seem to be a secure part of your routine.
AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Someone you thought was not your ally is in fact very much on your side. You’d see this if only you would give them a chance Aquarius. Hear others out when they speak to you today. It can turn a financial problem into an advantage.
PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
A delicate personal issue reaches a head, as you decide to make others’ decisions for them. Try to keep your manner a calm one, or you will only make those concerned think you are acting out of malice.

Published on The Astrology Room
You have a distinctly dual nature that, at your best, makes you versatile, and at your worst, downright confused (and confusing!). While a great lover of peace and harmony, you are also determined and fiery. While idealistic, you mostly have your feet on the ground. In relationships, the need for partnering and cooperating is strong, but freedom also matters to you. You are a natural counselor, offering excellent advice. There is usually quite a bit of drama and colorful emotion in your relationships, whether it’s because you bring this to the table or attract these kinds of people. Famous people born today: Frank Sinatra, Edward Koch, Connie Francis, Jennifer Connelly, Bridget Hall, Bob Barker, Dionne Warwick.
Your Birthday Year Forecast:
With the Sun and Moon in harmony in your Solar Return chart, the year ahead should be satisfying and balanced overall. You are in comfortable demand and personally popular, and you are able to achieve a decent balance between work and play; personal and professional life. For the most part, you are on top of your game this year, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there is less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!
The year is good for motivation levels regarding work or projects and personal interests. There can be opportunities to pursue absorbing topics and projects of interest. More joy and meaning can be found in your work or obligations.
Your ability to concentrate and focus is enhanced this year. You may, in fact, have a lot of work to do in relative solitude or you might often retreat to study, work, or think. You might be required to travel for business purposes. Thinking in realistic and practical terms is your best bet, and the need for tangible results for your efforts is strong.
You are likely to establish connections and/or relationships with people that help forward your own personal growth. Teamwork and camaraderie, as well as meaningful connections, are themes. You feel your life has a definite purpose this year. Through your contacts with others, you are encouraged to grow.
You express yourself more clearly and you can be excellent at guiding and instructing others. There is a pronounced ability to order your thoughts and ideas, come up with designs, and recognize patterns. You can especially enjoy making plans, lists, and connections this year.
This is a strong year for spirituality and commitment to spiritual or metaphysical goals. Higher learning, mind expansion, or travel can also be in focus and very rewarding.
Helping ground you is a Mars-Saturn sextile that gives you a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Traditional methods work again this year, and thoroughness brings rewards. Practice or refining a technique is favored. The approach that seems to work best with this aspect is a step-by-step one, with modest ambitions and the appreciation of slow but steady progress. This is particularly true of mental projects and special interests. You can be prolific when your heart is engaged in what you’re doing.
This can be a good time for updating your electronics and technology in ways that open up new avenues for communication or ease. Wonderfully creative ideas can fill your head this year.
Making connections with others from a different background is likely to figure in the year ahead, or widening your mind through unusual or different experiences can be part of the picture. Generosity and compassion increases and your faith is boosted. You more easily make personal sacrifices for what you believe to be the better good.
This is an excellent year for new ideas and projects. You’re in good shape for staying on track and meeting your responsibilities, but also for tuning into new and progressive ideas. This is also a great period for connecting with people and projects who/that inspire you.
2017 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.
2018 will be a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It’s generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice – take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.
ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Double check any figures you have to deal with today, as aspects suggest you may have got your sums wrong. Your need to see a certain person could see you telling lies to those who trust you.
TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
Gossip may get the better of you and you’d be wise to follow the advice that if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Boredom could well see some of your sign doing things which you know will get you in trouble.
GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
A relationship which developed a stale taste, can and will be rectified once you admit where you went wrong. Your element of air has made you more of a gossip than usual and if you owe an apology this is the day to make it.
CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
The need to spend more time in the company of someone you care for could see you cancelling things which others were relying on you for. Try to be fair and work out a compromise. You and those involved will feel better if you do.
LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
You may be forced to change your plans because of others dragging their feet. What you don’t realise, but you would if you tried, is that you hold the power to complete all that is ahead alone.
VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
The stars line up to make you the centre of attention, so be prepared to have to answer for all you say and do today. You’ll be asked direct questions and giving honest answers helps you to gain back respect you recently lost.
LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Always listen to your heart. It will save you a lot of time and energy and will ensure that you end up with a life you want to live. Contacts signed now make your life a better place to be.
SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Work you were dreading doing will actually turn out to be a challenge you will enjoy and excel at. Find time to call the person who has been on your mind. They will feel lifted by your contact and you’ll feel glad you made the effort.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
There is a really sentimental feel to your chart today. You find yourself telling stories of your past to new faces you meet. You have unfinished business with something which if settled today, will never need to worry you again.
CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
A softer side to your character is emerging and you find it easy to admit what you want without feeling the pressure just to say what others want to hear. You’ve come a long way and I’m proud of you.
AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
You have been looking at your problems from the wrong angle. Deal with your worries one at a time, and bit by bit you will build up your confidence and see that you can change your destiny to be a happy one.
PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
You’re growing in so many ways and although I know your journey has been a painful one, it has also been a very learned one. Your element of water helps you connect to those who have been closed off lately.

The Seven of this suit is typically a paean to the humble laborer who is willing to show up every day and sweat in the sun for next season’s bounty. The traditional concept is cultivation, with an attitude that slow and steady wins the race, with faith in nature’s assistance. The protagonist of this card doesn’t make excuses, isn’t whimsical or moody, but is dedicated and sees the job through. Of course, it’s no good to count your chickens before they hatch, but there’s no question that the person who is vigilant over a project is more likely to get the desired result.
Someone who works with nature, cooperating with her ways, will waste less energy and time than the person who works against her. As a side meaning, we sometimes see this normally humble farmer in a moment of frenzy, betting the crop on a roll of the dice. This represents a moment of dementia, addiction or desperation which hopefully will not last long enough for the farmer to lose everything!

The Judgement card represents a sexual awakening, and now that you aren’t afraid to move in a new direction, a whole new world awaits you. What sex positions do you want to try, and which fantasies have you been dying to act out? Being honest with yourself and potential partner(s) about the details of what you desire will help you get what you want faster, and the end result will be much more satisfying. And above all, enjoy your sexual liberation!

An up-date on Lady of the Abyss first, she is starting to be weaned off her morphine. Which is good but they intend to let her stay on it and do the weaning because they have started to try therapy. She made small progress yesterday. She was able to get up and stand on with the aid of a walker. She didn’t stand long because of the intense pain. I have been trying to lighten her spirits. I told her if anything ever happened to her, I was going to resell all the metal she now had in her body. That did not go over well. She told me to shut up. When she landed on that side, all the metal in that leg was twisted and moved out of place. The doctor started at her foot and used microscopic surgery to put the rods and screws back in the proper place. They did not want to open her leg completely up. Due to the damage, they were afraid she would be out to long and wouldn’t survive the surgery. She also suffered several broken ribs in the fall and another knock on the head. This time she didn’t lost her memory. I think it is too soon for her to even start therapy but I am not a doctor. The doctor and I talked in the hall. I voiced my concerns over her starting therapy. He told me if she didn’t get up now, she would never get up. He has not only been Lady A’s doctor for years but also a friend. He told me he knew her well enough that he knew she would never want to live life in a wheelchair. She had to start therapy no matter how painful, he would take care of her pain. He wanted her to walk and if I would stay out of it except to encourage her, she would. He is a man of his word, after the therapy yesterday, she was in great pain, in tears. A nurse came in with a shot and gave it to her. In about 10 minutes she was resting peacefully. I was relieved to know he meant what he had said to me. I do not trust doctors.
I took a break from the hospital this morning to see what has been going on here. To see if we couldn’t get the site back up and running. I know Lady A always said doing the site took her mind off of things that were bothering her. I hope the same hold trues for myself. Eleanor and I will be rotating back in forth as far as the hospital goes and the site. I see you have already been introduced to Eleanor. Eleanor is devoted to Lady A. She is the one that gave Lady A’s memory back to her when she had the wreck. Now she is here to stay till Lady A makes a full recovery. Full recovery might take up to a year. I am sure you agree with me, we are very fortunate to have her with us. I don’t believe I have to tell you anything about Eleanor that she hasn’t already told you. She is rough around the edges and she doesn’t mind telling you what she thinks. As I have found out recently. She has been with Lady A for a very long time. She tries to pull her stunts on Lady A and they go head to head. I have seen the two of them go at each other till I thought the building was going to explode. I keep thinking that is what Lady A needs. A motivation to get her to take her therapy seriously so she will walk again on that leg. May Eleanor is that motivation, we will see.
The ladies are arriving. I have to see what we need to get done to get the WOTC back up. I will keep you up-dated on her progress. We are also collecting donations. I would like to thank those of you who have already contributed to rebuilding Lady A’s life.

The store is also open, Jacob is running it. Purchases through there also helps.
I know most of you don’t know me but within the next few months, you will. I am Lord of the Myst. I am Lady A’s good friend and Mystie was my sister. Lady A wished for me to inform you that she will be away from the WOTC for the next several months. The reason being, she lost everything she owned late last night to a fire in her cabin. The fire started around 3 or 3:30 according to Lady A. She was asleep along with her little dog, Kade when it started. They were asleep in the loft area when the fire started. There was no way for them to escape the fire except to exit through a window in the loft. She grabbed Kade and out the window they went. Neither one suffered any injuries from the fire but Lady A did suffer a broken leg from the fall. She was taken to the hospital and was admitted overnight for observation. The neighbors did come over and try to assist with the fire and Lady A till the emergency crew arrived.
As much as they tried, their efforts were in vain. The cabin was completely destroyed. One of the neighbors has picked up Lady A and moved her away from the cabin. They stayed with her and her little dog while she watched everything she owned go up in the flames. The fire has been ruled suspicious and the Fire Marshall is due to arrive this morning to start his investigation.
Lady A told me over the phone she heard a window break and she woke up. When she when to look over the edge of the balcony, the fire had already engulfed the bottom floor. At that moment, she thought she would perish in the fire. She remembered the window and to save her dog and herself, she jumped. I know from phone conversations, she had been having a problem with one man in the area. If it is determined that the fire was arson and it was him. He will pay for destroying everything that our beautiful lady owned.
As I come to you this morning, Lady A has decided to take a break from The WOTC and the store to try to gather her thoughts and see how to start to put her life back together. She has nothing except the clothes on her back. I told her I would try to keep the WOTC going and the store open. She needs the money now more than ever. She has no place to stay, no place to call home. Her heart is broken. What a horrible time of the year to lose everything you have. She had bought the boys some presents for Yule, they are gone. The tree is gone. Everything is gone. I have known this lady since she was a child. I love her dearly. If you care about her and love her, she needs all of us now. I really don’t know what to say. I am shocked and horrified about the events that occurred overnight. I do know I am committed to seeing she gets back on her feet. She has given so much to me and all of you. She has sit tirelessly at a computer and worked for all of us. Is it too much to ask that we help her in her hour of desperate need.
I will take over running the WOTC and the Store. The WOTC next week, the Store now. While I run the WOTC, I will have one goal and that is to raise funds to help Lady A rebuild her life. The Store will be open for the same exact purpose to help our Lady and our friend, rebuild. She needs our comfort, our love and most of all some time to heal. How long that will take I don’t know. But when she is ready to come back in a few months, we will be here waiting for here.
If you would like to make a donation to helping her rebuild her life, it would be great appreciated.
Thank You,
Lord Myst
It has been called to my attention, that perhaps dark forces are at work when it comes to Lady A. That is the furthest thing from the truth. The truth is a man has been stalking her for several months now. She rejected him on several occasions. The boys and I strongly believe he threw something through her window to start the fire due to her rejecting him. The boys informed me that the man would show up every time he saw them outside with her. When they went hunting or fishing, any place and any where. They did tell me the last time he showed up, that Lady A and him got into a huge argument. They went over to see what was going on and he left. She told them that would be the last time he bothered any of them. This man knew she was witch and no telling what she told him. We believe he tried to burn her in the house. No dark forces, just an evil, lustful, meth head preying on an innocent woman.
We are now in the most hectic time of all the year between Yule, Christian, Jewish, and other religions holidays. This is often times some may feel depressed, anxious, overwhelmed or just plain out of sorts. This is also the time of year it is so important to take a minimum of ten minutes a day for yourself. You need to make sure you are grounded and at least semi relaxed. An easy way to do this at home is to find a quote place take some deep breaths with your eyes closed, arms dangling lose at your sides and if you are sitting down feet flat on the ground or if you are standing up have legs spread about shoulder length apart. Imagine roots growing out of your feet through whatever you are standing on going deep into Mother Earth. Pay a quick visit in your minds eyes to a bit of running water imagine throwing all your worries and negativity into the water and it being swept away. Now take another couple of deep breaths, open your eyes slowly, get a refreshing drink of water and go on about your day. Remember this can be repeated as many times as you want or have time to every day.

Due to a tremendous amount of traffic this morning, the WOTC crashed. It is only temporarily and they are currently working on bringing it back up. We got 75 group invites while we were in the process of doing the horoscopes. Then in the middle of the horoscopes it when down. First time that has happened in a while. In case you are wondering, I am posting outside the side. They don’t have that part fixed yet. But give it time and the WOTC will be back up and running good as new.
Just wanted to let you know what was going on especially after those earlier posts. I didn’t want you to think we run off, just crashed.
Hopefully, we will talk to you soon. Till then….
Love ya,
Lady A
I believe that the veil between the spirit plane and our plane is thin not only on Samhain but on Beltane also. Why you may ask yourself? Well, let me explain my theory and then decide for yourself if you agree or not.
Both Sabbats are fire festivals. Beltane for fertility and to bless the fields and livestock to produce a bountiful harvest and Samhain for celebrating the end of that bountiful harvest for the year.
As one is occurring in one hemisphere be it northern or southern, while the other is happening in the other one. So I feel the veil does not just thin out for one half of the planet it would be thin everywhere.
While one is celebrating Mother Earth waking up the other celebrates her going to sleep to restore herself.I
So what do you Beltane and Samhain may be two sides to the same coin or not?
May what you sow on Beltane give you a final bountiful harvest on Samhain!
