Almighty Goddess, Mother of Us All,
We come before you to ask for your help
Not for ourselves but for our brothers & sisters
Who now face disaster and devastation in the
Wake of Hurricane Florence.

We ask from the depths of our heart that
You acknowledge their needs for a great Power
than our own to assist them now and their
most dire hour of need.

Goddess, protect our brothers & sisters
During this Hurricane that is to come.
Wrap them in Your Almighty Protection.

When they feel scared and afraid
Let them know You are there,
Watching over them, protecting them
From all harm.

When they are in trouble or despair,
Let them know You are there,
Guiding them and giving them courage
to face and conquer the challenges
before them and to come.

Dear and Almighty Goddess,
Bring our brothers & sisters through
this Hurricane, unharmed, safe, sound
and back to those who love them.

Let them know that we cannot be there
with them but we are there with them in
our thoughts, prayers and spirit.

We ask, dear Mother, that you keep
our brothers & sisters safe from all harm,
bring them through this Hurricane and
return them to us safe and sound.

We pray this Almighty Mother
From the inner depths of our heart.
Let them feel our love for them during this storm.
Let our love surround them and
become a powerful circle of protection.

Keep them safe,
See them through this storm
Let them return to us
From these are our brothers & sisters
We love dearly.

We ask this Almighty Mother in Your
Divine Name and Love.

So Mote It Be

–Lady of the Abyss

 

Aries

While you may be itching to change your situation now, dear Aries, risky moves are not advisable at the moment. Have faith in your ability to better manage your life, but avoid the traps of thinking that’s too quick or cocky, which can put you in a state with blinders on. You might be odds with someone today over an issue of values or money owed, although it’s likely to be resolved (or put behind you) later today. These days, you do need to be careful about lending to others, or giving so much that you feel put upon. Today, there is a strong tendency to jump to conclusions or argument, when you’re far better off observing and using a wait-and-see approach. Tomorrow, this comes more easily to you.

Taurus

Stifling situations and activities that restrict can frustrate you more than usual today, dear Taurus. Your awareness quickens. Unresolved misunderstandings may be glaring now, but you might be uncertain about how to tackle them. Your feelings are straightforward, but your fears or worries may be up and down. Watch for band-aid solutions to problems that require more depth and energy. With Uranus in your sign these days, intuitive flashes are becoming a regular part of your daily life. Try to keep one foot on the ground, but do listen to your intuition. Making too-quick decisions today may not be the best idea, though. Distinguish between making changes for the sake of change, and making changes that will genuinely move you forward.

Gemini

Your thinking is otherworldly today, dear Gemini. You may even be receiving prophetic glimpses into your future through dreams or ideas picked up from the atmosphere around you. Profound inner changes are brewing, and today you may not know exactly what they are, but you feel that change is necessary. Actions today can be impulsive, however. If driven by a desire to rid yourself of certain unpleasant elements of the past, consider that a better solution may be to face the consequences of your past actions and to work on freeing yourself of guilt. There is no quick fix at the moment, even if you truly wish there to be one. Be honest with yourself. Note that mental stress could be interfering with your ability to think clearly and to take action confidently today. Impatience or insecurities can also interfere with your creative process now, although this should change radically towards the end of the day when strategy makes far more sense.

Cancer

Unusual and surprising energy is with you for social activities today, dear Cancer, with Uranus in your social sector connecting with Mercury in your communications sector. However, watch for some impatience with others, and perhaps also with your work or communications. Mixing friends and personal projects right now could be an adventure in risk. This is not the best of times to lend someone money or to make a commitment either, as all of the facts are not yet available or they’re under your nose, but you don’t see them! There is a certain impatience to the day that makes it all too easy to skip steps or jump to conclusions but keep in mind that neither of these things is advisable now. As the day advances, though, you begin to see the benefits of a wait-and-see approach.

Leo

Off the cuff remarks are more likely than usual today, and can cause quite a stir, dear Leo, but keeping things to yourself can be frustrating as well. Try to arrive at a compromise wherein you choose your words more carefully but express your discontent nonetheless. You are not inclined to enjoy feeling caged in, but neither are you happy with what feels like neglect when given the freedom to do your own thing. New insights into your career are coming now, and it’s important to listen not only to what your intuition is telling you but also to what seems to be coming from out of the blue – synchronicity and other chance events. Be careful when it comes to relationships with a partner, best friend, or business partner, as you may be too quick to jump to conclusions. As the day progresses, though, you’re more inclined to pace yourself, seeing the value of taking everything in before passing judgment.

Virgo

Disagreements or inner conflicts experienced today can stem from a sense that your desires are not exactly in tune with your higher ideals, dear Virgo. The way you view the world and how you experience the meaning of life is changing, and sometimes this can leave you feeling frustrated, or you can feel as if you’re spinning your wheels. The desire to explore the world beyond your usual daily routines is strong, but you may not yet have a plan of action to do so. Avoid jumping to conclusions. Towards the end of the day, you are likely to be feeling more at peace with others and with yourself, and this fuels your ambitions and improves your productivity, too. In fact, tomorrow and the next day hold excellent potential for useful conversations or making clear plans and connections that leave you feeling positive and confident.

Libra

There can be times today when impatience gets the best of you, dear Libra. Don’t let it rule you. Even though life tends to smooth out later today, do watch that you don’t jump to conclusions about someone or something. If you’ve been holding yourself back or suppressing your feelings, you may no longer tolerate the situation, and you can come on quite suddenly now. Unexpected events can occur that force you along a different path. Insight into your finances or something in your intimate, inner life may emerge, but don’t be too quick to draw a conclusion. This is a period of freeing yourself from compulsive behavior that has been holding you back. You might experience a moment of truth that motivates you to kick a bad habit and to live a freer life as a result.

Scorpio

It can be difficult to rely on both people and schedules today, dear Scorpio, and especially a partner or close friend, whose desire for freedom, or whose impatience, can produce some waves in your own life right now. Changes in relationships in recent times seem to have been thrust upon you, as if you had no say in the matter. However, you might come to an enlightening realization now that the changes are something that you need to grow. Freeing yourself from the role of a passive bystander in your own life is what this is all about, and it’s empowering indeed. Nevertheless, this is likely to be a mixed day, and it’s best not to push too hard particularly with a friend. Impatience should be tamed. As the day progresses, you’re likely to find it far easier to observe and strategize.

Sagittarius

You may see the changes that you’ve experienced with your work and daily routines in recent months in a new light today, dear Sagittarius. Adapting to a changeful working environment or daily affairs can be stressful at times, although also more rewarding when you realize you can meet the challenges. Avoid jumping into something prematurely, however, and watch for tensions over expectations from or of others. Someone could rub you the wrong way, and this can frustrate you. It may be difficult to understand a partner or a job requirement, as messages you are receiving are unclear and conflicting right now. Later today, however, tensions are likely to dissipate, and you find it far easier to concentrate on priorities.

Capricorn

These days, new insights can come in bright, empowering flashes, dear Capricorn, with Uranus transiting your solar fifth house although some changes happening now can be upsetting or jarring as you make adjustments. Avoid an abrupt, impatient, or defensive manner today as you deal with tensions and alterations. You don’t always do well with sudden changes of plans, but it’s best to roll along with them for now. Avoid making rash decisions today since the tendency to skip steps or ignore certain facts or precautions can lead to poor choices. However, as the day progresses today, your patience kicks in, and you’ll find tomorrow and the next exceptional for communicating, choosing, deciding, and observing. You are likely to enjoy rewarding interactions with others and may very well find precisely the right information you need.

Aquarius

Changes in your domestic situation or your inner world may be more frequent in recent months with Uranus beginning its long-term transit of your solar fourth house, dear Aquarius. Or, you may feel a bit caged in and desirous of change. Feeling unsettled or insecure is possible today if you’re thrust into a situation in which you feel inexperienced. While this is generally a good time for looking forward and feeling positive about making changes, taking quick action may not have desirable outcomes today. The tendency to jump to conclusions or to make swift, unstudied choices is strong. Listen to your urges, but judge whether you may be temporarily blowing things out of proportion. The next couple of days are strong for having the patience and foresight to make good decisions.

Pisces

Generally, this is an important time for paying particular attention to ideas that seem to come out of the blue and unexpected communications, dear Pisces, with Uranus in your solar third house. Your intuition is working over-time now. However, there is a tendency for impatience today such that you skip steps or information, which can trip you up if you jump into something too soon. While emotional honesty is a beautiful thing, this is the case when it’s expressed maturely. If emotions are released in spurts, or if you are not representing yourself confidently, then your proclamations may bewilder others now. Take more time with your ideas — get them straight and choose tomorrow or the next to share.

We apologize for being closed to Monday, September 10. Lady of the Abyss’ son, Jacob, was four-wheeling with some of the boys around the neighbor while she was at the doctor. They were riding a trail that they have rode for years. While on this trail, Jacob’s four wheeler hit a fallen branch. The branch flipped the four wheeler and threw Jacob from the four-wheeler. He hit a tree and was knocked out. The guys he was with picked him up and carried him back to the cabin. Lady A was arriving home as she saw the guys bringing Jacob home. She immediately panicked and called 911. He was still out when the ambulance arrived. He was taken to the hospital. He had an cat scan ran on his brain. He has a concussion plus a broken arm. He arm had to have immediate surgery on it. It had a bone showing through. He came out of the surgery fine. He also woke up while in the ICU unit. The doctors said there was no damage or injury to his head and brain. His arm will be fine but it will be in a cast for several weeks. Jacob was extremely fortunate that he came out of this wreck with only a few injuries. After looking at the four-wheeler, it is astounding he did not suffer more grave injuries or even killed.

 

Lady A is upset and decided it would be best just to close the site for a few days till Jacob comes home. He is expected to be released in two or three days. They want to keep him for observance. I am sure you can understand why Lady A made this decision. She has more to worry about right now instead of the site. There is no insurance to cover any of Jacob’s ambulance, doctors and hospital bill. If you would like to help Lady A out on these expenses, we would greatly appreciate it. We ask that you keep Jacob and Lady A in your prayers at this time.

Lady A also asked since there will be no chat tomorrow that no one takes over and run the chat. I am going to post this over in the chatroom right after I post this. The chat is open if you would like to talk to a friend but as far as the group chat there is to be no one.
