Daily Horoscope Sunday, May 17, 2020

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 3:45 AM to 10 AM EDT today (0:45 AM to 7 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

There’s bad days and there’s good day and this is a good day! The Moon is in your sign and the Sun is dancing with moneybags Jupiter. Ask the universe for a favour because the answer just might be yes. After the Moon Alert is over, this is a strong day for financial matters.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an excellent day because the Sun is still in your sign and today it’s dancing with lucky, moneybags Jupiter. Trust your optimism and positive take on things. Look for ways to expand your world, perhaps even internationally.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You will still prefer to take a backseat; nevertheless, this is a feel-good day and you are happy! Interaction with a female friend might be important. Even though you are pulling strings from behind the scenes, your ambition is strong.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Because you are upbeat and enthusiastic today, you will attract the attention of others. You might take a leadership role in a group whether online or in person. You might also encourage others to pursue positive goals. This is a powerful day for you!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You look fabulous in the eyes of others, which is why people will praise you today or ask for your advice. In particular, your relations with people in authority are excellent. Whatever you do today might bring you future profits or expand your career in an excellent way.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a wonderful day to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, the law or anything to do with higher education. For example, you will enjoy studying anything that expands your horizons. If you can’t physically travel, then discover the world in other ways.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Discussions with others might enrich your coffers today because something might attract wealth to you. You might hear news of an inheritance or money or wealth might come to your partner? (Be cooperative with others today because the Moon is opposite your sign.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Relations with partners and close friends are super positive today! This is a good day to enjoy the company of others because you want to be included in something bigger than yourself. Reach out to good friends and partners either in person or online.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Meetings whether virtual or in reality that are work-related will be positive today because people will enjoy the company of each other. Furthermore, it’s a great day to make plans because everyone is thinking about the future in positive terms!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a fun-loving day! Enjoy socializing with others in any way that you can. Likewise, enjoy playful activities with kids. You will also welcome any opportunity to express your creativity. (Nevertheless, the placement of the Moon will make you happy to cocoon at home as well.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

If it is possible for you to entertain family at home today, this will bring you great joy. This might be in person or it might be a Zoom party! Not only are you happy to talk to family members, with the placement of today’s Moon, you have an emotional need to reach out to someone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Enthusiasm is contagious and today you are enthusiastic! This is why others will enjoy your company in person or online. Reach out and make contact with others. This is also a great day to write because you are keen to communicate!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Musician Taj Mahal (1942) shares your birthday today. You have a sharp mind, excellent business savvy and wonderful self-discipline. The good news for you is that this is your time of harvest! Yay! Now you will begin to reap the benefits of your efforts in the last decade. You deserve this time of success. Expect to enjoy an increased influence and leadership in your relationships. Yes!

Crafting Your Own Sacred Schedule – Part 6

Local Festivities

Where we live has a huge impact on how we turn the Wheel. The landscape, the seasons, and local culture all affect how we experience the world around us. The community in which you live probably all ready has festivals that honor certain changes, such as a harvest festival, an annual block party, a yearly parade to commemorate an event in the town’s history, or a natural phenomenon that happens like clockwork (monsoons, fog season, second summer, etc.) These modern-day observances can have just as much power as the commonly accepted sabbats — and even more personal meaning for you because the event directly reflects the spirit of where you live. Remember everything has an origin!

Tools of Ancient Priesthood

Pictures from the National Hellenic Museum Athens, taken 2019.

Above is a wonderful display of ancient Greek ritual objects used by the priests and priestesses of the ancient Hellenic, Minoan and Egyptian world.

Nothing more connects me to my magickal ancestors than when I visit the museums of Europe, this one is in Athens. 2000BC Couldrens, drinking cups, ritual containers no wonder I am drawn to the craft.

Magick was part of their everyday life. Temples were overflowing with devotees and ritual of daily devotion.  Magick has become part of my daily life too, the only difference is my temple has become the Great Earth Mother or Gaia as the Ancient Greeks knew Her.

When I visit these great temples, to me they are a place of devotion, to most a place of amusements and to others a place of mysteries long…

The musing of a witch

Study session by Dawn

Beltane is know as the fertility Esbate, it is the time for the earth to be transformed from the cold and rain of spring to the bright and sunny time of summer. The god is building his strength as the days grow longer and the crops strengthen to give us life through the winter and early spring. The animals are fertile and some are even up to their second or third litter of the year. I saw a fat robin this morning with a big worm in its beak and I was wondering how many little birds she has and how many times so far this year has she raised a brood. (Life is Good)

I love this time of year as the crops start to come up, we as a household will have a wonderful garden this year thanks to Deacon Charles Mead, the days are lengthening so you can work outside for a longer time as evident of the painting I did yesterday.

One of the positive items of this year with the Corona Virus is I have had time to do many home improvement projects to make the ole homestead look the best it has in years, and these will continue through the summer. Thank goodness for the time and the beautiful weather so i can do this for the people I love

I hope you all take a minute or two in the next couple of days and give thanks to Gaia for all her bounty, take your shoes off and walk through the newly green grass or even spread a blanket and lay down and look at the clouds. This is the time of Earth’s abundance take a minute and appreciate the gift in whatever manner you chose to, just know that report, phone call to the boss, work assignment can wait 10 minutes as you pause to enjoy life.

  1. Detach

In the previous series- ‘There is no Time like the Present- Part 7’, I mentioned the power of ‘Release’, such a liberating word. However it is through ‘Detachment’, or non- attachment as it is used in Buddhism, that allows us true liberation from what Buddhists call Samsara or what is known as Karma.

What a wake up call we are receiving now!

A time to reflect, gain clarity, see fairness and evaluate ones responsibilities for themselves, their family, their community and their environment. It is important to recognize such patterns that are destructive as these are what keep us in Samsara. Its starts in your own head and ripples outward. It spills into the family, the community and into the rest of the world. Yes we are all responsible, we are a collective.

Detaching, stepping back from situations that are not…

Insomnia

How many people out there have suffered from this wonderful word. What are the causes, they are as varied as the cures. is it stress, anxiety, depression or a child or parent that is sick and needing tender loving care.

What are the cures that you know of, certain teas, no caffeine after 6, melatonin, and then there is the serious stuff, prescription meds, Ambiant and others, ugh.

I have been suffering from this the last couple of months getting somewhere between 3-5 hours of sleep a night. taking multiple bathroom breaks, trying a little food, maybe watching a rerun for a bit to get my mind to quiet, I have become the queen of solitaire at 2 in the morning lol.

So what to do, what has helped get me through this is to think how lucky I am, I have a loving family worried about my health and looking up remedies for me. I have my health in every other way, I can do most everything I need to do in a days time,although my family worries about all the work i do lol, I try to use the time to lay quietly and think about what the goddess would like for me to do, what steps she wishes for me to take, am i following my heart and making the decisions that are right for me or am i making decisions for others that are leading to more stress and anxiety.

I am lucky in so many ways and although I do wish I had never heard the word insomnia I try to remember all my blessing and not the few trials and tribulations that I am facing along the way. I hope the insomnia will pass but at the same time try and understand that the new day can and will be a good day depending on my attitude when i do get the day started

Ego…

Merry Meet,

I wanted to discuss today about the three parts of all of us. The first part of us is our spiritual part, which is represented by the upper 3 Chakras. Then there is the Ego part of us which is represented by the lower 3 Chakra’s. Now, the third part of us is the Heart.

Now, we have to choose everyday about what we are going to listen to…will it be the spiritual/heart part of us which is the “I AM” or the Ego part which is “I AM NOT”

Very important because the ego can and will ruin our lives if we let it take over and it will lead to devastation because it will lead to greed etc.

Thought this was the perfect time to let everybody think about this which to me is a very important decision for all of us.

I choose “I AM” but we each have the decision to make.

Blessed Be!

7.Release

In the previous series I mentioned about remembering the Flow . Today I will be remembering one of my most liberating words- RELEASE………

We are now entering a phase in humanity where if we do not release what has not been working for us as a collective we will not be able to survive.

This not only includes the way we think about the environment, but also the way we organize our health systems, our economy, manage our land, resources and respect our surroundings in general. Science has dubbed this era as the 6th mass extinction. This basically means that we have been over the last couple of decades in a ‘biological annihilation’, yes, we are speeding up extinction of not only us but all other species that include animal, insect and plant on this earth.

So for today I…

  1. Flow-

Today we will be remembering the word that allows all energy to exist, as without this there is nothing, literally……….

I have been excited even thinking about writing what this word means to me at this time. To me the flow exists beyond time, in the dark and light of the universe, in different dimensions, in alternate universes, it is the ingredient that brings to life from the smallest of atoms to the largest of black holes.

Now some call this universal energy, cosmic flow, others call it God, Goddess, prana, some call it time, spirit, life and some name it the Big Bang. Call it whatever it is you want, it is the one thing that gives meaning and existence to all that is. The flow exists as the ‘rhythmic pulse’ one that creates the magick that we can see…

May 2 Moon Goddess’ Current Phase

Today the Moon will be in a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Now in the previous series of  ‘There is no Time Like the Present’  I mentioned how we need to Nurture the most important person in our lives and that is ourselves. In such times make sure that you save some of your energy to nurture your gifts, your love for the Divine, your loved ones that matter the most in your life and of course nurture a better version of you.

Today I will be briefly remembering the word that empowers us to move forward. It enlightens our inquisitive mind, it makes us a better version of ourselves and it allows self reflection in times of solitude.

  1. Seek-

When I think back of the times that I have taken self-exploration, seeking, journeying, going on a quest, call it what you may, it has been in a space where I have…
