Your Daily Tarot Card

The Emperor

The Emperor is blessed with the skills to successfully lead others. He can turn chaos into order and provide structure to that which is unbound. He is quick of mind and confident in his power and right to rule, and does so in a just manner. Although stern by nature, he truly is the ultimate father figure. He will provide as needed, teach those with unanswered questions, protect the vulnerable, set and maintain boundaries. His perfect world runs on schedule and is free of any disturbances. What the Emperor must be wary of is setting boundaries and rules where none are needed. If he isn’t careful not to over use his powers he may well become a tyrant.

Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase 5/31/2019

TODAY – FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2019

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.

N. H. Moon Phase 5/31/2019

 

Daily Horoscope – May 31, 2019

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Keep your eyes open because an unexpected financial benefit might present itself to you today! You might have a chance to earn money in a new way. You might have a financial windfall. You might also impulsively buy something you really like that is practical and long lasting.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is a bit restless, and it will certainly have some surprises! Nevertheless, in the bigger picture, you can make excellent travel plans or solid plans for higher education, publishing, the media, the law or something to do with medicine. A good solid day! You might meet a guru or teacher today as well.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Although in some ways, you will be restless today and a bit excitable for some reason, nevertheless, this will be a feel-good day for you. You might make some private plans that will bring you a long-term benefit in the future. Someone might also help you – secretly. Something is cooking on the back burner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Expect to be surprised by a friend today or a member of a group. Hopefully, it’s a fun surprise (and it probably will be). Or possibly, you will meet a real character? Someone older might become affectionate. In fact, a friend could become a lover.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be prepared for a surprise with a boss, parent or a member of authority today. (Could also be a member of the police.) Be careful with a knee-jerk reaction. Remember the power of courtesy. Your relationship with this authority figure might also deepen in a dependable, long-term way.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Unexpected opportunities to travel or get further training might fall in your lap today. This will be quite thrilling! In turn, you might make long-range plans for travel or further education, which will benefit you in a lovely way. A new romance with someone different might also begin. Woot!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A sudden inheritance, an unexpected windfall, or perhaps gifts, goodies and favours from others might bless you today. Anything can happen so keep your pockets open! Perhaps you will benefit indirectly through an unexpected bonus for your partner?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A partner or close friend will say or do something that surprises you today. However, something will definitely please you as well. A shift might occur that gives you a long-term feeling of security and stability. Someone older might benefit you in some way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your work routine will have some surprises today – staff shortages, power outages, computer problems or equipment breakdowns. However, in the bigger picture, you will benefit from something – perhaps a raise, praise or a favourable promise or expectation for the future.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Parents should be extra vigilant because this is an accident-prone day for their kids. Meanwhile, romance might turn from something casual into something serious and committed. Does this mean the M word will morph from ‘maybe’ to ‘marriage’? A surprise invitation might delight.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Something unexpected will impact your home or family life today. But in the bigger picture, you might benefit from a gift from an older family member. Or you might buy something long-lasting and beneficial for your home. Good day for real-estate speculation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Keep your eyes open because this is a mildly accident-prone day. However, you also have clever, original ideas! You might meet new faces or see new places. Quite likely, you will hear news that pleases you and gives you a warm feeling in your tummy.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Archie Punjabi (1972) shares your birthday today. You act tougher than you are, which is actually more conventional. You live very much in the present. This is a fun-loving year! Enjoy increased popularity and warm friendships. This year you will be more grateful for your life and will appreciate the happiness and beauty around you in a daily way. You will make an important choice — choose wisely.

Tarot Card of the Day

The Pope

Keywords: teaching, school, blessing, ritual, marriage, acting!

Astrological Correspondence: Taurus

As a priest, the Pope, or Hierophant, represents traditional values and moral development. He is the wise teacher or counselor guiding groups or collectives on their path in search for spiritual truth or meaning. Depicted as a religious figure in ceremonial vestments he interprets secret mysteries, divine law, and theological doctrine. Although this card implies that he is linked to the church, the Pope signifies not only organized religion but also focus on groups in general, such as schools, teams, companies – any group with fixed roles and assigned responsibilities. The Pope is a symbol for rules, procedures, structure, and ritual, creating harmony within groups and staying their course so they can find identity and progress as a whole. The negative imagery symbolizes dogmatism and inflexibility, extreme conformity, or conventionalism.

Posts are going to really short today because I can barely keep my eyes open. We have had thunderstorms come through every night since Saturday. One of my familiars is terrified of thunder so if I’m asleep she wakes me up and wants a light on with her human cuddling her. If I’m still awake when the storm starts there is no going to sleep until after the thunder stops. Needless to say, my eyes are at half mast right after only 2 hours of sleep but you are important to me so here I am and now on to the posts…

The Devil

Keywords: materialism (sex and money), lies, grounding, slavery, bondage!

Astrological Correspondence: Capricorn

The card of the Devil represents the darker side of humankind, all that is shameful, base, and that we avoid to confront. Its imagery connects to sexuality, irrationality, obsession, and addiction. Being enslaved by our fears and desires, we find it hard to let go of unhealthy relationships, addictive behavior, excessive attachment to material things, and obsession with power. Accepting the shadow side in us can help channel the energetic powers that this card also represents. Understand that confronting our dark side can indeed lift the chains that tie us down, and by not letting self-hatred and shame take over we are empowered to be free. Qualities of this card in a negative situation include excessive ambition, rigidity, and abuse of power in the emotional as well as the material realm.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, May 26, 2019

Instead of doing daily horoscopes I am going to post one for the week. The reason for this is we have readers from all over Mother Earth and it will be timely for both hemispheres. The post will go up on Saturday morning so those down under get Sunday’s when it’s ready Sunday there. If you would like to read your daily horoscope you can use the link at the bottom of the page.

All Signs

This week planetary aspects with Mercury are tricky. Mercury is the planet of communications. It governs how we think and it influences our daily activities and choices, as well as ground transportation. (This is why errors, delays and car problems occur when Mercury is retrograde.) This week two different planetary events will occur with Mercury: It will be at odds with fuzzy Neptune, which creates confused thinking and deceit; while at the same time, Mercury will oppose Jupiter, which will magnify things and create false confidence. This is classic. We’ve all seen this character in the movies. He’s the guy who doesn’t get it but he’s super confident! (Do you think this is the perfect week to hit a few karaoke bars?)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be careful, dear Aries, because this week, you see the world through a different lens than anyone else. Obviously, you will think you are seeing the real world (which in itself is a debate) but believe me, you’ll be seeing your own version. This is why misunderstandings with others will take place. Neighbours, friends and siblings will not grasp what you mean, and vice versa, you will miss their meaning as well. Nevertheless, your enthusiasm for something will encourage you to go blindly ahead! This means you must listen if someone is urging you to put on the brakes. Fortunately, by the end of the week, issues that relate to your finances look solid and safe. Be thankful for this blessing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Please be careful this week because the challenges with Mercury that I refer to in All Signs above will impact your finances. If you’re making big money decisions, this could be dangerous. For starters, your take on financial matters and cash flow, earnings – whatever – might be faulty because you don’t have enough information, you have the wrong information, or someone has deceived you or perhaps even you are deceiving yourself? Combined with this is a rosy confidence – a false optimism about what is taking place. You are hopeful and sure about what you are doing but you could be kidding yourself or acting in error. For your own protection, give everything a sober, second thought.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Because Mercury is your ruler, you will definitely feel influenced by its adverse relationship to fuzzy Neptune. You might misunderstand something. You might misinterpret it. Someone might give you false information or mislead you. Or perhaps, wishful thinking is what will trick you? This tendency for erroneous thinking will be magnified and further confused because of a false sense of optimism about things. You feel you can’t lose! You’ve got the winning ticket. You know what’s going on! But do you really? At the very least, this could lead to behaviour that makes you feel sheepish. One of those “me duh” moments. But at worst, you might make a terrible gaffe with a boss or someone important whom you want to impress. Ouch.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This week you might be your own worst enemy. For some reason, silly, self-defeating behaviour patterns seem to surface and they’re beyond your control. You mean well. You feel that you are acting responsibly in a caring fashion; and yet, you will say or do something that upsets someone or makes them lose confidence in you. Be careful. More often than not, when you try to make an impression, chances are that’s the impression you make. (One of those pathetic moments that make us wince.) Be careful of false bravado. Instead, be circumspect and perhaps even hold your tongue. Fortunately, someone older or more experienced has excellent advice for you. At least, listen.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Misunderstandings with friends as well as members of groups will be classic for you this week. You might assume someone wants something or doesn’t want something because to you, this is obvious. However, what you don’t know is that your assumption is false. This could be because you are confused or because you don’t have all the facts. Therefore, tread carefully when talking to friends and assume nothing. Make a strong effort to clearly hear where they are coming from. Jupiter will trick you into thinking you see the whole picture – easy peasy – when in fact, you do not. This is humiliating because you will end up with egg on your face. (Ketchup helps.) Fortunately, relations with bosses, parents and VIPs are solid – in fact, excellent!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The area where you have to be careful, and make every effort to be clearly understood relates to your dealings with authority figures – parents, teachers, bosses, VIPs and the police. Because these people have power over your life, if you create a wrong impression or make a fool of yourself, there’s a cost to pay. You are an analytical, logical, intelligent sign. You don’t need this. Do your best to edit what you say to important people, especially if you think you have a great idea because it’s so easy to be misunderstood this week and also to misunderstand others. However, this is a great week to make solid travel plans and move forward in publishing, the media, higher education, medicine and the law.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The confusion that can impact you this week from Mercury being at odds with both Neptune and Jupiter will affect you in areas related to the law, medicine, higher education and publishing. It can also create errors or misconceptions in matters related to travel and dealing with foreign countries and people from other cultures. In particular, you will be susceptible to religious and political propaganda. Do not believe everything you hear! Likewise, be careful about proselytizing your own ideas because later, you might not even agree with yourself. This week is confusing for millions of people. Don’t get caught up in something you will later regret. Remember that what the large print giveth, the small print taketh away.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

In All Signs, above, I discuss how we can all be confused in different ways because of the challenges to Mercury this week from both Neptune and Jupiter. For your sign, you have to be careful in matters related to inheritances, wills, taxes, debt, insurance issues and anything to do with the wealth of your partner. In a similar way, confusion about who is responsible for what might arise. You might think you have a clear idea of things – but perhaps you don’t. It’s easy to kid yourself this week, but it’s also easy to operate on false information. Postpone important financial decisions until next week if you can. Fortunately, relations with partners and close friends are solid and supportive.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This week you have to be mindful of your communications to spouses, partners and close friends because confusion and misunderstandings are highly likely. You might assume they want something or they do not want something. Perhaps they assume the same about you. Basically, what is happening is your conversations with others will be like two ships passing in the night. A complete impasse. Therefore, when in doubt, say nothing. Obviously, do what you can to clarify communications. Ironically, you will be sensitive to criticism and rejection, which due to misunderstandings will likely happen! Seek expert advice if you have to sign important papers. Tread carefully!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might encounter misunderstandings and a complete breakdown of communications with coworkers, bosses and supervisors, clients and customers this week. This is because people will be easily misled and frequently misunderstood. The reason things can get out of hand is it’s easy to be cocky and confident this week, when in fact, your facts and assumptions might be wrong. This same erroneous confidence can apply to your decisions regarding your health or even a pet. Therefore, ask someone else what their opinion this? Get feedback from others. Clarify giving and receiving instructions – definitely. Be as mentally disciplined as possible.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It’s curious that the very things that will make people confused and happily living in their own bubble this week are the same influences that can promote marvellous creativity on your part. Why? Because you can think outside of the box and your imagination can run free! Music, art, poetry, the theatre and the entertainment world are marvellous outlets for your fantasies and your imaginative ideas. You might want to escape your everyday reality either through the arts or by taking a vacation. However, romance might disappoint because your expectations are unrealistic, or perhaps your expectations are unexpressed? Likewise, be patient and understanding with children.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

In different ways, and in varying degrees, this week people will suffer from mixed-up communications, misunderstandings, false assumptions and in some cases, outright deceit. These fuzzy moments will be magnified because parties on both sides will be confident about their stance and what they say. But it could be a blind confidence – on their part or on yours. In particular, you might see this happen in family discussions or with family members. The result might be hurt feelings and the creation of a rift. Be aware that everyone is subject to these illusory misunderstandings this week. Go gently. Don’t be critical. Don’t overreact. Wait until the dust settles to make important decisions. And remember: the email of the species is more deadly than the mail.

Current Moon Phase

TUESDAY, MAY 28, 2019

On this day the Moon will be 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.

May their family and friends find comfort and support to help ease their grief.

So mote it be.

The Sky This Week from May 24 to June 2

By Richard Talcott  |  Published: Friday, May 24, 2019

Jupiter’s largest moon seemingly disappears as it slides into the giant planet’s shadow to start the week, while a waning crescent Moon passes near Venus to wrap it up.

Head outside late this evening and you can’t miss Jupiter. The giant planet rises before 10 p.m. local daylight time and climbs highest in the south around 2 a.m. Jupiter shines at magnitude –2.6, which makes it the brightest point of light in the sky until Venus rises in morning twilight. The planet currently resides among the much dimmer background stars of the constellation Ophiuchus the Serpent-bearer. A telescope reveals dramatic cloud features on the gas giant’s 46″-diameter disk as well as the four bright Galilean moons. And tonight provides a rare opportunity to see the solar system’s largest satellite disappear. As Jupiter rises, Ganymede appears west of the planet. If you keep watching, however, you’ll see the moon slowly fade from view. At 1:41 a.m. EDT, Ganymede starts to enter Jupiter’s shadow while it is still 16″ from the planet’s limb. The moon is so big that it takes 14 minutes to disappear completely.

Saturday, May 25
Binoculars open a world of wonders invisible to the naked eye. Did you realize you could see several galaxies without resorting to a telescope? One of the spring sky’s best is the Blackeye Galaxy (M64) in Coma Berenices. This constellation stands high in the south once darkness falls. The 8th-magnitude spiral galaxy appears about 1° northeast of the 5th-magnitude star 35 Comae Berenices. M64 is barely in range of 50mm binoculars under a dark sky, although you’ll need 80mm or larger binocs or a telescope to spot the dark dust lane that gives the galaxy its “black eye.”

Sunday, May 26
Last Quarter Moon occurs at 12:34 p.m. EDT. When it rises around 2:30 a.m. local daylight time tomorrow morning, it will appear slightly less than half-lit. Earth’s only natural satellite then appears against the background stars of Aquarius the Water-bearer

The Sun in Gemini
The tug between opposite ideas and the need for answers are very strong influences while the Sun crosses Gemini. Getting things done may prove to be a bit more challenging than it is in other periods. Staying focused on goals and avoiding impulsive behavior could be difficult. The desire to lead is likely to be somewhat dull. Creativity and the pursuit of truth are at an apex. Enjoyable socializing and effective communication are positive byproducts of the Sun’s current position. A light-hearted spirit is pervasive.

Sun Sextile or Trine Moon
Keeping a healthy balance between autonomy and the need for personal relationships is very important at this time. The degree of one’s success may be significantly increased by maintaining healthy relationships with family members and friends.

Sun Conjunt Mercury
One’s ears may be closed to the advice of others.

Moon In Aquarius
Friendships are likely to become stronger, but deeper emotional relationships may be a little “subdued.” Overly effusive behavior and negative behavior like jealousy are certain to meet with ridicule and intolerance.

Moon Sextile or Trine Mercury
Insight into the psychological motivation behind individual’s behavior is very strong at this time.

Moon Opposition or Square Venus
Passions may run high during this aspect. Many are likely to desire deeper emotional relationships, but have difficulty defining the form they would like these powerful emotional bonds to take.

Moon Opposition or Square Uranus
The need for adventure and risk is likely to be heightened during this aspect. Many will be so influenced by the powers of this aspect that taking on new challenges may become a short term addiction.

Mercury In Gemini
Curiosity and the need to know everything possible will influence behavior. Mental challenges are likely to be addressed with gusto. Intellectual powers are at a peak.
Venus In Taurus
Emotions run deep and desire to express one’s love will influence behavior. The need to express one’s love both physically and spiritually is heightened. Jealousy may be a problem if one allows their emotions to run wild. Music and art are likely to be very attractive at this time.

Venus Conjunct Uranus
The need for personal freedom will be very acute in many, and may cause strain in their personal and professional relationships.

Mars In Cancer
Focusing energies on family and friends is favored during this period. Ambition and the drive to succeed may be lacking. Protecting what one has already is likely to be more of a motivator than attaining new goals.

Mars Sextile or Trine Uranus
This is an energizing, empowering aspect that favors those who act decisively. Generally, focusing on short term goals will produce positive results.

Jupiter In Sagittarius
Free thinking may be favored at this time. Life is likely to take on an adventurous air. During this period changes can be made that will favorably affect the future.

Jupiter Opposition or Square Neptune
More idealistic goals are favored during this aspect. Aspirations that emerge this time are likely to be non-traditional, even avant-garde in nature.

Saturn In Capricorn
Extreme Focus on completing tasks at any costs may lead one to sacrifice almost anything to get the job done.

Saturn Sextile or Trine Neptune
Those who take the time to understand the real motives behind the behavior of others are favored during this aspect.

Saturn Conjunct Pluto
Now may not be a good time to be the center of attention. Feeling vulnerable may make many withdraw emotionally and socially.

Uranus In Taurus
The astrological influence of Uranus is measured in increments of 7 years. What this means is that the effects of Uranus influence an entire generation. Day to day the Uranian influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Uranus is likely to be strikingly apparent.

This influence generates enlightened thinking and a drive to make everyday life better for all. A warm-hearted, romantic and acutely sensual spirit will be prominent as well.

Neptune In Pisces
Because Neptune takes approximately 14 years to move across Pisces its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Neptune in Pisces is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Gentleness, creativity, and the pursuit of spiritual truth are strong influences at this time. Many may find mysticism and unorthodox religions very attractive.

Neptune Trine Pluto
The exploration of spiritual issues is favored during this aspect. Introspection should lead many to better understand the underlying motives behind their behavior.

Pluto In Capricorn
Because Pluto takes approximately 15 years to move across Capricorn its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Pluto in Capricorn is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Strong economic gains can be made during this period. Pluto in Capricorn favors those who are able to make logical decisions and devise pragmatic solutions to the challenges before them

A Way to Honor Your Mother and/or Father

High Priestess Raven Spirit Walker's avatarEnchanted Circle of Witches®

I really do not know if every country sets aside one day a year to honor a person’s mother and/or father.

A tip to have candles burn longer and drop less– Out the candles in your freezer. Leave them in there until the morning of the day or night you will use it. Always let candle come to room temperature especially if they are in a glass container. I can tell you first hand if you light the candle, especially any size pillar or one in a glass container, they will explode. I had a few blisters on my face and eyelids from a regular, non-empowered ritual, candle exploding and the wax was very difficult to get out of my couch and rug. Please keep in mind safety first When using any size or shape candle for any reason.

Even though mine crossed the veil almost 4 years ago I…
