Your Weekly Karmic Forecast for March 26 thru April 1

Weekly Forecast: March 26 – April 1, 2017

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.  

Weekly Forecast: March 26 – April 1, 2017

3/26 ~ Mercury (your thinking) ~conjunct~ Uranus (the Awakener):

It is said that this energy depends on your “normal mental speed” which is not the same as intelligence. If you are naturally quick mentally, then you will be downloading more than usual during this initiation. Uranus acts as a Lightning Rod that strikes and briefly illuminates an area of your life, in this case, Aries, a new, clean slate for one and all. Ah-ha moments will lead to more freedom and independence, but only to the degree that you can maintain them yourself. If you are in like-hearted circles, the conversations could be really stimulating, unlocking perceptions across the board. If you are not naturally quick mentally, then this will be helpful for you as you are more likely to experience awakenings and connections to your own intuition that help strengthen it within. The Shadow side to this energy is being over-sensitive and jumping to conclusions. Test & Ground your insights before hardwiring them into your Being in any way. Over-taxed nervous system is widely available for all, so try to connect with Mother Earth often. Whatever gets zapped (loosened) can thus be moved to the compost pile. Whatever gets illuminated (becomes conscious) is to be further investigated for merit, but valuable nonetheless. Keep records of ah-ha moments as you won’t be able to immediately act on all of them at the same time and, those you cannot (at this time) often turn into nuggets of gold in your future.

3/27 ~ Mars (action) ~sextile~ Neptune (dreams):

This energy puts action behind your dreams! This is the perfect time to reflect on what you really want and if the path you’ve chosen thus far still serves your ultimate goals. Your intuition is heightened and you’re more alert and ready to act on the information you receive. This information is trying to point you toward a more enlightened plan (than you have right now) for manifesting your Truth and Purpose. It’s also a good time to help others realize their dreams in a more tangible way. This energy is that of the volunteer, idealistic and committed to change!

3/29 ~ Mercury (your thinking) ~trine~ Saturn (structure & organization):

This energy is good for deep thinking. You are sharp and your standards are high because you are in ‘strategy mode’. This is a more solitary energy though, so communications with others may be hampered a bit because it is time for you to hold your own, at some new level. It’s time to focus on the details that hold the big dream together, all the little things that make the grand vision work. Some respect that attention to detail while others may consider it nit-picky but it is what the energy supports at this time so don’t worry if others don’t understand at this time. By the same token, you may also feel a little overwhelmed by the many “little things” that cannot be denied or delayed and thus a sense of urgency to get it all done. Beware of a tendency toward pessimism, depression or overwhelm. Try to stay focused on all the blessings that you do have and all that you have accomplished instead of what’s still on the list of things to do (in life). This energy is not intended to make you feel bad about all the things left yet to do, but encourage you to begin the necessary steps for manifesting your dreams. This energy just makes you focus on the practical side of manifesting. Clear the debris, and begin to lay a new, clean, solid foundation beneath your goals. Saturn gets you present to the necessary steps and Mercury helps you think clearly.

3/30 ~ Jupiter (your story) ~square~ Pluto (transformation): (2 of 3: 11/24 ~ 3/30 ~ 8.4.2017)

These two energies are potent by themselves, but when challenging each other like this, permanent change is underway. Squares push you “out of comfort zone – in to – new territory”, that, essentially, you could not get to on your own as you need the friction or the push. Keep your own motivations pure to avoid getting hurt by the karmic debris swirling nearby, know your own Truth & Story and allow what’s no longer true to fade, while embracing a renewed sense of purpose and dedication to something larger than you. Pluto is the Purifier and Jupiter represents justice and laws and is a social planet, so look for changes in government and revelations of the movements and machinations that are covert or hidden from the public view. There is a cleansing happening as we speak. It is time to question everything ~ especially your own belief systems. Reflect to see if what you hold as Truth is still adequate or even accurate.  This energy is best for working toward positive change and restoring clean power structures within and out in the world, and helping the individual transform their personal story considerably.

Current Moon Phase for Monday, March 27th is Waning Crescent

March 27
Waning Crescent
Illumination: 1%

The Moon today is in a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this phase the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

And, like all living things,
We reach upwards for the sky.

The sky’s brightest asteroid, magnitude 7.5 Vesta, shows up quite easily through binoculars this week. To find the minor planet, start at magnitude 1.2 Pollux in northern Gemini and then drop 2.4° southwest to magnitude 4.1 Upsilon (u) Geminorum. Vesta lies 0.7° due south of Upsilon this evening.

New Moon occurs at 10:57 p.m. EDT. At its New phase, the Moon crosses the sky with the Sun and so remains hidden in our star’s glare.

 

Surprise Lady A on her birthday

Think of me what you will

But I really don’t care, I am fighting for the Lady I love. That Lady happens to be Lady Abyss. I love her very deeply and have stood by her through many horrendous times. We go Friday to see how big the tumor is on her hip and what our next steps are. I made a post last night about wanting everyone to chip in and purchase a bottle tree for her. It is what she wants.

For those of you who haven’t donated, have you stopped to think this might be her last birthday on this plane. If that turns out to be the case, why not make it extra special.

Someone mentioned these trees are expensive. Yes, they are. Last year, my sister raised $500 to get the pup to Lady A’s door stop. Lady A is a very special witch in our clan and we feel it is our honor and duty to provide her with what she wants. I know you are not of the same clan as we are but if nothing else, donate out of love for our Lady.

Thank you.

In the Dreamtime

Ageless wisdom comes again
Unknown to watcher’s clouded eyes.
Aerie glimpse of ancient truth’
is strange to all who hold the lie.

Feelings deep and known to Mother
Part are we of nature’s bowels
We who belong to dust and depths
are only keepers of the sheep and fowl.

Dream me now with light and goodness
Heal and bless to stop the cries.
Whisper softly to the night winds.
Cast your vision in her sighs.

Call to west and eastern shores,
as half of all that makes us whole,
Voicing now the sleeping reason.
deep within primeval soul

Rocks and trees and loamy earth,
Part of One as part are we,
All creatures of the sky and forest,
Beasts of earth and watery sea

Dream me now with light and goodness,
heal and bless to stop the cries,
Whisper softly to the night winds,
Cast your vision in her sighs.

Lady Abyss Took A Day or Two Off & When The Cat’s Away The Mice Will Play

Lady Abyss has taken a few days off. My sister, Mystie is busy getting her life back together after the fire. She is still living with Lady A and I think that might be why Lady A took some time off to get away from her. They recruited me to fill in while they are both out. I had to do a name change since WordPress said my old name was already taken. Most of you know me by my old name Lord Myst, now I am using the Gentleman Druid but I prefer the other and will be using it.

Lady Abyss’ has a birthday coming up and every year for her birthday we all chip in and purchase her something nice. She is the hardest, most ambitious witch I know. She works long hours in the service of our Lady and the organization. She is currently negotiating a deal with a syndicated radio network for the WOTC to be featured on. After that, she will negotiating another deal to be a consultant on a new movie that is being produced. I am sure you know her reasons for doing this just as I do. She wants our history and the truth about us being portrayed accurately.

The first year, we all chipped in an got her a beautiful onyx pentagram, last year we got her a beautiful pup after her beloved Kiki passed. As you know the pup was killed in the accident. This year we were baffled as to what to get her. We were talking to the witch who came up from Louisiana when Lady A had her wreck. She mentioned Lady A said something about a bottle tree. Lady A got the idea for a bottle tree after hearing about the history from the witch from Louisiana. According to legend, the bottle tree is placed outside the home. It is a wire frame in shape of a tree. It has branches and on the branches are shiny, glittering bottles. Legend has it, that evil spirits that come out at night and around the home are attracted to the shiny bottles. They get trapped in the bottles and at the first light of dawn, they are destroyed by the light. Swampy (the witch from Louisiana) told her of this legend from the deep South and said it might not be a bad idea for her to get one. Now Lady A is convinced that she needs one for her cabin. Perhaps with the year she has had she just might.

We all love Lady A and this is what we would like to get her for her birthday. We have a picture of what a bottle tree look likes. They aren’t cheap and again, we were wondering if you would be interested in chipping in on her birthday present. Who knows if the legends about the bottle trees are true but we love our Lady and if it will offer her some comfort and peace of mind, then she deserves it. As in the past, the card to her will read from all of the WOTC  and you will know it because she will be over joyed and thank you.

For the next few days, we will be collecting donations for Lady A’s birthday present. The last year hasn’t been kind to her. It would be nice to get her something for her birthday that she actually wants and would be a smile on her face and give her peace of mind. If you would like to contribute to her birthday fund, you will find a button below to do so. We have also included a photo of what a bottle tree looks like. In case you are wondering, Lady A will never see this post, Mystie has blocked her from her viewing it. She will never know what we are up to, so ssh is the word.

Thank you in advance for making Lady A’s birthday the best yet.

Energy Report – March / April 2017

Energy Report – March / April 2017

We have reached a turning point, one that marks the crossing over into a new cycle of being. The beginning of this new cycle is marked by the Equinox on March 20th / 21st and is indicative of the new reality we will now inhabit. A new reality, which is the culmination of all the many, many shifts, changes and transformations that we have endured. This new cycle is the realization and actualization of your true divine self.

The first three months of 2017 have been a time of cleaning up and clearing out all that is no longer need. In this time you have descended into the depths of your soul to access your hidden qualities. You have ascended into elevated aspects of your being to gather expanded states of consciousness. You have shifted timelines and crossed dimensions retrieving long forgotten aspects of your soul. You have accepted your grief, your pain and your suffering. You have healed, realigned and reunited these aspects so that you may move forward unhindered by your past.

You are now in the midst of creating a new life, one that honors difference, accepts individuality, embraces creativity and allows balance. You are weaving a new world into existence. A world that unites all aspects of your being and enables you to truly feel and experience life from the center point of your soul. The next three months will involve a period of rejuvenation, which will accelerate your soul’s embodiment process. With this acceleration your personal growth and spiritual development will rapidly increase. You will travel beyond confusion and into the light of clarity. You will awaken to your soul’s truth and begin to know yourself as whole in the midst of all that life has to offer.

The incoming energies are fully activating your original divine blueprint and releasing your pure essence. The unique codes of light and energy, which define your soul, are shifting the patterns of subtle energies that have shaped your soul’s form and experiences. With this shift your energy field is naturally expanding and linking you to multidimensional consciousness. Your ability to see, hear and feel truth is being enhanced, enabling you to step fully into your soul’s consciousness. Clarity and wisdom are emerging, which is helping you to being creating a new life filled with the light of your soul.

If you can imagine that you are a microcosm of the macrocosm, then you can understand that the new reality you are inhabiting also contains a divine blueprint. This divine blueprint reveals its self as you surrender control of your reality to your soul. As you do this your place and your purpose in the new reality begins to emerge and you are able to fully actualize your own divine blueprint. You are then able to work with what arises without the need to control and manipulate reality.

In April of 2017 the energy of rejuvenation and renewal will come in to sooth and to heal any remaining mental anguish and control issues you may have. You will need to surrender to your soul, which will enable you to enter into its inner sanctuary and ignite the seeds of wisdom germinating therein. These seeds of light and energy contain the inspiration and insights you need to rekindle the awakening of your soul’s gifts.

Connecting with these gifts initiates a journey into your soul’s mysterious depths. In these depths you will unveil your soul’s divine messages and find your way to greater self-knowledge. As you access this knowledge you will discover your true nature, your purpose, the dreams, prayers and hopes your soul has for this life. You will remember that your soul is also a keeper of divine wisdom and truth. You will come to understand that no real separation exists when you are in constant communion with your soul. Your soul then becomes a sacred sanctuary where your body, mind, heart and spirit can truly merge aiding you in becoming an embodiment of divine love.

In the coming months you are encouraged to dive into the depths of your soul, to unlock the sacred messages of your divine blueprint and to immerse yourself in its flowing light and energy. It is this that will support you in embracing the many blessings of this new reality, as well as the shifts and changes you will be required to make.

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

Death



First and foremost Death does not specifically pertain to our physical death. The Death card marks ends and beginnings. Although most illustrations of the Death card tend to be morbid, the forces behind the Death card are actually quite exciting. Yes Death does mark the end of something. But ends are often brought about by completion and not loss. Most endings are actually good, and make room for us to begin new adventures.

What This Lunar Eclipse Looks Like

The animation shows approximately what the eclipse looks like from the night side of the Earth.

It is often difficult to tell the difference between a penumbral eclipse and a regular Full Moon. However, this eclipse is easier to spot than an average penumbral eclipse because the Moon travels through the darkest areas of Earth’s penumbra, only just missing the umbra, the shadow’s dark core. As a result, the Moon looks considerably darker on one side, making the shadow visible to the naked eye – weather permitting.

Penumbral lunar eclipses are generally less spectacular than total lunar eclipses, also known as Blood Moons.

Regions seeing, at least, some parts of the eclipse: Europe, Much of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, Antarctica.

Group Ritual To Honor Brighid at Imbolc


Imbolc/Candlemas Comments
Group Ritual To Honor Brighid at Imbolc

This ritual is designed for a group of individuals, but could easily be adapted for a solitary practitioner. Imbolc is the time between Yule and the Spring Equinox, the halfway point in the dark months of the year. It’s the time when the days suddenly seem to be getting longer, and the snow is beginning to melt, showing us small patches of earth and green. At this time of returning spring, our ancestors lit bonfires and candles to celebrate the rebirth of the land.

In many areas of the Celtic world, this was the fire feast of Brighid, the Irish goddess of hearth and home. She is the keeper of the flame, the protector of the home, and a goddess of holy wells and springs. At Imbolc, we acknowledge her many aspects, especially that of her role as a deity of transformation. As the world awakes from the dark slumber of winter, it is time to cast off the chill of the past and welcome the warmth of spring.

Cassia is part of a Pagan group in New York that honors Brighid each year with a small, private ceremony at Imbolc.

She says, “We see the Imbolc season as a time of change and renewal. It’s when we’re all coming out of hibernation, getting off the couch and peeking out the window to see if the snow has started to melt yet. We try to do a ritual each year on Brighid’s feast day, and we honor her as the keeper of the hearthfire that kept us warm and fed all winter.”

To do this ritual, set up your altar with the symbols of Brighid and the coming spring — a Brighid’s cross or dolly, potted daffodils or crocuses, white and red yarn or ribbon, young fresh twigs, and lots of candles. Also, you’ll need an unlit candle for each participant, a candle to represent Brighid herself, a plate or bowl of oats or oatcakes, and a cup of milk.

If you normally cast a circle in your tradition, do so now. Each member of the group should hold their unlit candle before them.

The HPs, or whoever is leading the rite, says:

Today is Imbolc, the day of midwinter.
The cold has begun to fade away,
and the days grow longer.
This is a time in which the earth is quickening,
like the womb of Brighid,
birthing the fire after the darkness.

The HPS lights the Brighid candle, and says:

Bright blessings at midwinter to all!
Brighid has returned with the sacred flame,
watching over home and hearth.
This is a time of rebirth and fertility,
and as the earth grows full of life,
may you find abundance on your own path.
Imbolc is the season of lambing, of new life,
and a time to celebrate the nurturing and warmth of Brighid.

At this time, the HPs takes the cup of milk, and offers a sip to Brighid. You can do this either by pouring it into a bowl on the altar, or by simply raising the cup to the sky. The HPs then passes the cup around the circle. As each person takes a sip, they pass it to the next, saying:

May Brighid give her blessings to you this season.

When the cup has returned to the HPs, she passes the oats or oatcakes around in the same manner, first making an offering to Brighid. Each person takes a bit of the oats or cakes and passes the plate to the next, saying:

May Brighid’s love and light nurture your path.

The HPS then invites each member of the group to approach the altar, and light their candle from the Brighid candle. Say:

Come, and allow the warmth of Brighid’s hearth
to embrace you.
Allow the light of her flame
to guide you.
Allow the love of her blessing
to protect you.

When everyone has lit their candle, take a few moments to meditate on the warmth and nurturing nature of the goddess Brighid. As you bask in her warmth, and she protects your home and hearth, think about how you will make changes in the coming weeks. Brighid is a goddess of abundance and fertility, and she may help you guide your goals to fruition.

When you are ready, end the ceremony, or move on to other rituals, such as Cakes and Ale, or healing rites.

Full Moon Magick for When The Full Moon Falls on a Thursday

Full Moon Magick for When The Full Moon Falls on a Thursday

Happy, Healthy Family Spell

You will need:
• A green 7-day jar candle (green for prosperity and to align with Jupiter’s energies)
• A permanent marker to draw Thursday’s planetary symbol of Jupiter (4) and the names of each household member
• A photo of your entire household (make sure all of the members are in the photo; if necessary, use a couple of photos to get your kids, spouse, and your pets)
• 3 oak leaves gathered from a living tree (oak leaves are linked to Thor as well as the planet Jupiter)
• i tumbled turquoise stone for prosperity and protection
• i small tumbled moonstone for loving emotions
• The Ten of Pentacles and Ten of Cups tarot cards
• A 6 x 6-inch square of green fabric or a green sachet bag
• i2 inches white satin ribbon
•A lighter or matches

If possible, set up this spell on a safe, flat surface where the light of the full moon illuminates your working area. If weather permits, this would be a nice spell to work outdoors-just be sure to move the candle indoors when you finish the spell. To start, take the marker and draw the planetary symbol of Jupiter on the jar candle.

Next, add the names of all the members of your household; this includes pets!

Place the candle and the other components of the spell on your working area. The stones can nestle around the jar candle. Lay the photo(s) of your family in the center of your altar, with the two tarot cards, the Ten of Cups/Cauldrons and the Ten of Pentacles, one on each side of the photos. Place the oak leaves above the photos and the cards. Keep the sachet bag or fabric and ribbon within reach.

Light the candle, and place your hands on the photos. Then repeat the spell verse:

Abundance flourishes on the night of the full moon
May the deities of Thursday heed this Witch’s tune
Thor, hear my call and bless my family
Bring us love, support, and prosperity
Keep us healthy, happy, and secure, come what may
As we stand strong together through all of our days.

Gather the photos, one of the oak leaves, and the two tumbled stones, and place them in the center of the fabric. Gather up the edges into a small bundle, and use the ribbon to tie it closed or place the items inside the sachet bag and pull the drawstring closed.
Knot the ribbon three times, and say:

By all the power of three times three
This magick strengthens my family.
Finally, close the spell with these lines:
May the full moon bless all of the ways
I work my witchery on this day.

Allow the candle to burn out in a safe place; it will take about a week. I typically put jar candles on my brick hearth, inside of a large cast-iron cauldron, so even if it somehow how got tipped over, the flame would stay contained in a fireproof area.
Clean up your other spell supplies. Save the two oak leaves and keep them for future magick. Return the cards to the tarot deck. Keep the bag with the photos, stones, and leaf together in a safe place until the next full moon. Then, on the night of the following full moon, open it up. Keep the photos and the crystals, and return the oak leaf to nature
