A breath of fresh air! This week our self-esteem is stronger and we’re pumped with confidence. Fresh opportunities blossom along with the promise of romance. (Be still my beating heart.) Singles will have calloused fingers from swiping their phones; and committed partners will feel happier and reassured. At the beginning of the week, a demand for freedom will be the rallying cry. Some will be rebellious, ready to mutiny. Routines will change. People want to be free to do their own thing! I read somewhere that a large part of happiness is letting go of what you think life is supposed to look like. This means be open minded. Be the best you can be. Veni, vidi, viccu! I came, I saw, I vacuumed!
This week holds exciting financial opportunities for you. Something unexpected might impact your earnings, your cash flow or your possessions at the beginning of the week. For some it could be a new job, a new income stream or new, moneymaking ideas. You will see ways to make lovely improvements at home. You’re keen to solidify a financial situation. Whatever this is might be secretive or done privately. Certainly, the home improvements that you make now will have a long-lasting benefit in the future. Remember that your finances will improve because this year, you’re getting richer!
This is a powerful week for you. Admittedly, at the beginning of the week, you will feel impulsive even rash. Guard against accidents. But you will also feel freer and younger and ready to do new things and explore new horizons. Listen to the advice of someone older or more experienced because this could help you. Conversations with others will be warm and friendly because Mercury is in your sign dancing with fair Venus, which makes your words smooth and sweet. (Handy in case you have to eat them later.) This week it pleases you to make your everyday surroundings more attractive. This is a good idea because whatever you do (perhaps gardening or landscaping) will have a long-term benefit. Bonus!
You feel restless this week because lots of activity is taking place in a hidden part of your chart. This means your bursting at the seams to do something, but somehow it’s not manifesting – not yet. The good news is that you can attract money, wealth and favours to you this week. Someone older or in a position of authority will help you. Listen to their advice. You’ve been spending a lot of money lately; now it will be nice to see some of it coming back your way. This is not surprising because this is the most powerful time for you in a 30-year cycle. Since 2008, you have been steadily building towards this time of fruition and success. Now you see clearly what is working in your life and what is not. Trust in your good fortune.
Your popularity is strong this week, particularly with younger people. Everyone find you charming because fair Venus in your sign. However, with Mars in your sign as well, you’re ready for action. Those of you involved in group efforts or an organization will shake things up this week. Perhaps a new mandate? You might even leave a group? Discussions with others might lead you to change your future goals? Certainly, someone older or more experienced has advice for you, especially related to philosophy, religion or politics. Listen to what is offered because it might benefit you. After all, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you?
This continues to be a powerful time for you because the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. Something might happen, especially in the beginning of the week, that causes you to change your life direction. It’s sudden but you are certain now about what you want to do. As a result, you feel freer and certainly more excited about your future. New possibilities! New ways of doing things! You might get wise advice from someone about financial matters especially related to inheritances, wills, estates, taxes and debt. You might also be attracted to a boss or someone in authority; however, this attraction is secret. In fact, this is the perfect week for a hidden love affair.
Grab every opportunity to travel if it comes your way. Having said this, at the beginning of the week, travel opportunities might suddenly change or be cancelled. Or possibly, you suddenly have to travel when you didn’t expect to do so? Exciting breakthroughs will come through study, involvement in politics or something related to writing a book, an important paper or a manuscript. You might have an epiphany — that “Eureka!” moment. Romance with someone different or from another culture might begin for some of you. Conversations with long-term partners (or someone older) about future travel plans will be encouraging. The bottom line for you right now is you want to feel free to be who you are!
You might encounter a surprise or something unusual regarding shared property, taxes, debt or inheritances at the beginning of the week. Nevertheless, most of this week is about warm relations with others, especially people from your past, long-term friends or someone older or more established. Romance with a boss is likely. At the least, you will admire someone in authority. You can get a lot done if you have to deal with “red-tape” details regarding shared property and inheritances. With Mars high in your chart, you’re ambitious. This means you can accomplish a lot if you choose. Or you might just play the bureaucracy game. That’s where everyone stands in a circle and the first person to do anything loses.
This week has a different vibe! A partner or close friend might surprise you. They might demand more freedom or a different arrangement in the relationship. You might meet someone new who is unusual. (The difference is what you find attractive.) You might be stimulated by an encounter with someone in the general public. Discussions with someone older might yield helpful advice. You might also discuss future plans to travel for pleasure. Life is starting to feel that it holds the promise of an exciting future. And you’re right!. Very soon, Jupiter will sit opposite your sign for the first time in 12 years, encouraging you to go after everything that you want. (And you want a lot.)
This is an exciting, productive week! At the beginning of the week, be careful. Accidents might happen, especially to a pet. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Something unexpected might also impact your job or your health. Fortunately, a discussion with someone older, especially in the family, will help to solidify your home base. This is a romantic, passionate week for you as well. A new romance might begin with someone who is connected to something you own or something you share. Passions are running high! Use money and assets that come to you now to solidify your home base because that is your number one priority. Your second priority is to escape on a marvellous vacation.
This is an exciting time for you! You feel like you are suddenly breaking free from a chrysalis and being reborn. It’s a whole new world! You are a hard-working sign; nevertheless, this is the perfect time to party, take a vacation, enjoy the arts, see the theatre and the entertainment world and also delight in playful activities with children. Meanwhile, romance is full of all kinds of possibilities for you, especially this week! Many of you might begin a relationship with someone of an age difference. (This is your style.) Remember that you are in a two-year window where residential moves and job changes are likely.
Home and family continue to be a primary focus right now. Expect some sudden changes on the home front at the beginning of the week. It could even be a family mutiny. In fact, you might be the one shouting the rallying cry, “To the gates!” Certainly, something will happen this week that makes you feel freer and younger. It will be an unexpected change – possibly minor, possibly major. As a result, family discussions, with older family members or parents will ensue. These discussions could have financial repercussions. They might also affect your job. However, in the long-range, they will benefit you and clarify things for your long-term future.
A busy, fast-paced week! Please be mindful of the beginning of the week to avoid an accident. This is because sudden changes are likely, and these changes are slightly accident-prone. New ideas, new places, new faces, new trips, new ways of learning – it could be anything. One thing is certain – your daily world will be stimulated or suddenly changed. As a result, you will have discussions with someone older and more experienced, which will ultimately benefit you. You might encounter new romance because new love is highly likely for your sign! Accept invitations to socialize because you’re eager to grab your dancing shoes and trip the light fantastic!

Is it time to measure the cat for a magick wand? Perhaps the parrot needs to learn some chants? Maybe there is a set of dominations spells so that the dog can force you to walk him on the schedule he chooses? No, spells regarding animals are still meant for people to perform, although some benefit from some animal assistance. Many of these spells involve protecting animal from physical and spiritual harm. Others benefit humans, through the power and gifts of animals.
Animals who participate in your spells and rituals, enhancing them with their own powers, tend to fall into one of two categories:
* Familiars
* Allies
The concept of an animal as a pet is a modern one. Those who possessed this concept of interspecies friendship ahead of their time often found themselves condemned for witchcraft on grounds of familiarity with demonic creatures like cats, birds, rabbits, black dogs, reptiles, and amphibians. Sound like what’d find for sale in any local pet store? Well, familiar animals are exactly that: Familiar. The classic witch’s cat, rabbit or toad, a familiar is an actual, individual animal with whom one can live and share an intense psychic, personal bond. If this characterizes a relationship you have ever had with an animal, then you have had a familiar, regardless of whether you engaged in magickal practices together. A dog who won’t sleep unless it’s under your bed, the cat who follows you from room to room the bird who spends the day perched on your should: these all qualify as familiars.
A familiar’s presence may be sufficient to spark and enhance your magick, whether there is any conscious active involvement or not. For others, the psychic and magickal bonds possible between animal and human create profound power and satisfaction and working closely with other species–those species that usually do not life amongst people—-may discover psychic and magickal bonds, as well. Wild animals that remain wild can also qualify as familiars, though invariably they choose you rather than the other way round. These include those birds or bees that, taking a liking to someone in the family, stop by daily. Scandinavian witches traditionally favored flies as familiars. Wild dolphins occasionally single out as individual human and initiate a relationship. It is not unknown for people living on the edge of woods or in a wilderness place to develop a special relationship with an individual creature.
A familiar is a specific, individual creature with whom you have established a psychic bond. Of course, the limits the creatures with which you can magickally interact. What if your magick requires a rhinoceros or crocodile? What if it requires a dragon or unicorn?
A familiar may be considered an animal ally but animal allied transcend the boundaries of familiars. Animal allies are a form of spiritual relationship: because the relationship may occur entirely in the realm of spirit, any animal may be approached. The presiding spirit of the animal may also be approached, rather than any individual creature.
A person may have as many familiars and/or allies as needed.

Archangels (/ˌɑːrkˈeɪndʒəl/) are the second lowest rank of angel in the hierarchy of angels. The word “archangel” itself is usually associated with the Abrahamic religions, but beings that are very similar to archangels are found in a number of other religious traditions.
The English word archangel is derived from Greek ἀρχάγγελος (arkhángelos), the Greek prefix “arch-” meaning “chief”. A common misconception is that archangels are the highest rank of angel. This misconception stems from John Milton‘s Paradise Lost and likely confusion over the “arch-” prefix.
Michael and Gabriel are recognized as archangels in Judaism, Islam, and by most Christians. Some Protestants consider Michael to be the only archangel. Raphael—mentioned in the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit—is also recognized as a chief angel in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael are venerated in the Roman Catholic Church with a feast on September 29 (between 1921 and 1969, March 24 for Gabriel and October 24 for Raphael), and in the Eastern Orthodox Church on November 8 (if the Julian calendar is used, this corresponds to November 21 in the Gregorian). The named archangels in Islam are Jibra’il, Mika’il, Israfil, and ‘Azra’il. Jewish literature, such as the Book of Enoch, also mentions Metatron as an archangel, called the “highest of the angels”, though the acceptance of this angel is not canonical in all branches of the faith.
Some branches of the faiths mentioned have identified a group of seven Archangels, but the named angels vary, depending on the source. Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael are always mentioned; the other archangels vary, but most commonly include Uriel, who is mentioned in 2 Esdras.

Buddhism is a faith that was founded by Siddhartha Gautama (“the Buddha”) more than 2,500 years ago in India. With about 500 million followers, scholars consider Buddhism one of the major world religions. Its practice has historically been most prominent in East and Southeast Asia, but its influence is growing in the West. Many Buddhist ideas and philosophies overlap with those of other faiths.
Some key Buddhism beliefs include:

Plantain is a common garden herb with healing properties. Although many people refer to plantain as a weed, it’s actually an edible medicinal herb with a number of health benefits. You can use plantain leaf as a poultice for insect bites, a plantain tea to improve digestion or soothe bronchitis, or a healing plantain salve for helping wounds to heal quickly.
Many of the benefits of plantain herb come from its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Plantain leaf is also a good source of antioxidants, vitamin c, beta-carotene, and minerals such as calcium and potassium.
Far from being an unwelcome weed in your yard, plantain herb should be prized for its medicinal uses.
In this article, you will learn about the many health benefits of plantain. You will also learn how to use plantain as a medicinal herb.
Plantain is called a weed because it is an invasive plant that can quickly take over a garden. However, plantain should be regarded as an herb due to its many health benefits. Plantain is among the edible weeds that are good for you.
You shouldn’t confuse plantain with a type of cooking banana that has the same name.
Broadleaf plantain (Plantago major) is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows in most areas of the world. Other names for broadleaf plantain include common plantain, greater plantain and wild plantain. The ribwort plantain is related to the Plantago major. It has narrower leaves and sometimes called narrowleaf plantain.
The plantain plant has broad leaves that grow to around 2-4 inches wide. It is mostly the plantain leaf that contains many of its therapeutic benefits. However, plantain seeds are also used medicinally. (1, 2)
People say that plantain leaves taste similar to spinach or asparagus but with a slightly more bitter taste. Young plantain leaves are said to be the tastiest; whereas the broader and older plantain leaves taste bitter and have a fibrous texture.
Broadleaf plantain is an extremely nutritious wild herb that contains a number of bioactive compounds.
The journal Ecology of Food and Nutrition reports that plantain leaf is a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C. Plantain leaves also have calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and manganese. (3)
One of the reasons why plantain is a medicinal herb is that all parts of the plant – the leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds – contain a lot of antioxidants. Flavonoids, polysaccharides, and caffeic acid are just a few of the phytochemicals in plantain. (4)
Researchers say that plantain compounds are good for wound healing, reducing inflammation, managing diabetes, treating diarrhea, and killing germs. (4)
Let’s look in more detail at how to use common plantain for its many health benefits.
Wild plantain is an amazingly useful herb that can help in strengthening your immunity.
Various studies have shown that plantain compounds have immune-strengthening properties to fight infection. For example, plantain leaf extract can help boost the number of white blood cells. (5)
One study in the lab found that hot water extracts of plantain leaves have antiviral properties. (6)
You can take a few young plantain leaves to make a medicinal herb tea. Roughly chop the fresh leaves and put in a cup of boiling water, cover, and allow to steep for 10 minutes. Strain and add a teaspoon of raw honey when the tea has cooled down to increase the antimicrobial properties.
Consume the plantain tea to help fight infection whenever you have a cold or the flu.
Find out about more herbs and supplements to boost your immune system’s health naturally.
Studies have found that plantain leaf extracts have good antimicrobial action. Tests in the lab have shown that compounds in plantain leaves can help to kill off various bacterial and viral pathogens. (7, 8)
You can drink plantain tea as a health tonic to improve your digestive health. Or, you can use plantain leaf tea as a cleansing skin tonic.
One of the most popular uses for taking plantain leaf tea is to treat gastrointestinal disorders.
A 2017 survey found that herbal weeds such as plantain are good for digestion. Herbal digestive remedies can help to soothe intestinal pain and treat other symptoms of gastric upset. (9)
The astringent and cleansing effect of compounds in common plantain also helps resolve symptoms of diarrhea. (10)
Drink a cup of plantain leaf tea every day if you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, or heartburn.
Studies have shown that if you have abdominal pain from a peptic ulcer, then taking plantain tincture could help treat your ulcer. It is best to use leaf extract for gastric ulcers rather than seed extract. (11, 12)
It is very easy to make your own plantain leaf tea from this medicinal herb. Because common plantain grows wild in many places, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find fresh leaves.
To make your own health-boosting plantain leaf infusion, this is what you should do:
You can drink 1-2 cups of plantain tea daily to benefit from its healing power. You can also use this tea topically to cleanse your skin, help clear up acne breakouts, and promote healthy wound healing.
You can also use the leftover leaves from the plantain tea to apply to pimples, wounds, insect bites, and sunburn to help your skin heal without scarring.
A poultice made from crushed plantain leaves can help to soothe pain and reduce inflammation caused by bites, allergic skin reactions, or irritated skin.
To make a healing plantain poultice, this is what you should do:
It is generally safe to use plantain leaf tea or a plantain leaf poultice for medicinal purposes.
Doctors from WebMD advise that people with a pollen or melon allergy should avoid using remedies made from plantain. Also, plantain tea, tinctures, or tonics may not be safe to take if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. (29)
When picking wild plantain leaves, always ensure that no chemicals or pesticides have been used on them. Always thoroughly wash the leaves before using them to make tea or a poultice.
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) occurs in Scorpio at 1:34 PM EDT today (10:34 AM PDT).
Do your best to avoid arguments about money, possessions and financial matters, including inheritances or how something is shared. People will get angry today in a split second. It’s potentially explosive day. Don’t go looking for trouble because it’s already looking for you.
Today the Lunar Eclipse is occurring opposite your sign, with the Sun, retrograde Mercury and Uranus. This is an explosive, sensitive combination! The best way to handle this is to check yourself. Take a breath before you respond to others. Don’t take the bait.
Today something going on behind the scenes might get your goat. Basically, what you’re dealing with is an unusual buildup of Full Moon energy that makes people restless, ready to fight, and emotionally angry. Do nothing. Steer clear of difficult situations, especially secrets or something going on behind the scenes.
Avoid difficulties with friends or members of groups today by postponing contentious discussions for another day. Today there is a Lunar Eclipse that will definitely trigger explosive feelings with others. Therefore, do not choose today to set things straight. Be smart.
This is a poor day to challenge authority figures – parents, bosses, VIPs and the police. Likewise, you might find it challenging dealing with family members, especially females. For your own best interests and peace of mind, avoid challenging others. Stay cool.
Be careful because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. No question. Travel plans might suddenly change or be cancelled or delayed. Avoid controversial subjects because they will lead to nasty arguments. Keep your mind on what you’re doing. Pay attention.
Disputes about shared property or who is responsible for what might erupt into a nasty showdown today. It’s Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Be smart and rein in your impulsive feelings because personality clashes today will not be resolved. Stay chill. If you play your cards right, you won’t have later regrets.
This is a tough day relating to others, especially partners and close friends. People will be quick to argue, and you might reach an impasse and create a situation that is difficult to resolve later. Be smart and avoid this. There is no winning today. (Don’t come on too strong, which you can do.)
Work-related arguments might be nasty today. Don’t get involved because you might be in a situation where later, no one wants to forgive or forget. Meanwhile, today’s Full Moon energy is accident-prone, especially at work – or perhaps with your pet.
Parents should be extra vigilant about their kids today to avoid accidents. Remove toddlers from potentially hazardous situations. Be patient with your kids. Likewise, this stressful day could create breakups in romantic relationships. Today patience is your best friend.
Today’s Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio taking place at the top of your chart. This creates tension and emotional challenges between your dealings with family and home versus your dealings with your career and your public reputation. Take a step back. Don’t get involved.
This is an accident-prone day for your sign so pay attention to everything you say and do. The Full Moon today is actually a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio at odds with the Sun, Mercury and Uranus, which is an explosive situation. Anything might suddenly occur – out of the blue! Keep your eyes open.
Author, social activist Naomi Klein (1970) shares your birthday today. You are an excellent communicator and a great conversationalist. You are a problem solver because you are quick to see the heart of the matter. This year you will reap the benefits of your previous work. Expect to attain a leadership role, kudos, a promotion or be in the spotlight.
IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS APRIL 5, you are mixed with a fire and a free spirit. Your imagination is sharply innovative with a charm that is typical of the other Rams. Those of you born this day can be bold and persuasive.
The zodiac sign for April 5 birthday is Aries. You are unbiased and are capable of discussing controversial topics, which means people like talking to or debating the issues with yours truly, the Arian.
You care about your reputation so you carry yourself in a confident but cool, calm and collected manner. Having said all of this, Arians worry about what some folks think about them. Do not worry about them… people are never satisfied.
According to the April 5th birthday horoscope profile, friendships with an Arian can be a bittersweet occurrence. You work hard. It is a quality your friends admire. However, it cuts into the time they could have with you. You are likely to make friends effortlessly and quickly.
What most do not know about you is that you are impatient and are easily agitated. Your temperament usually shows up when people disagree with you. Come on, Aries. Get real. People are entitled to their own opinion. It is what makes us different. You certainly are. Perhaps you are happiest when you are in control of others.
For the person that falls in love with an April 5 Aries birthday, be ready for a romantic fairy tale! The Arian born on April 5 is impulsively loving and sentimental. This partner is appreciative of your needs, wants and desires.
The ideal relationship with an Aries is one that is open to expression and views intimacy as a commitment to loyalty and trust. Security is a must for someone like you. You are inclined to make your lover feel special by making his or her needs first in the relationship.
The 5 April birthday personality traits show that you have an overflow of energy and absorption levels. Most Arians will use this trait in the decision-making process of locating a career. A suitable profession tends to be more of a factor for decision rather than salary.
Aries born, you need a challenge. In fact, you need to experience a certain level of job stress before you will feel truly appreciated. Having put out fires during the day and having met deadlines gives you a since of pride.
A couple of flaws typically associated with you, Aries, are that you do not finish what you start and you are likely to splurge. You are spontaneous so you could be guilty of impulse spending, predicts the April 5 birthday astrology analysis.
Be slow to buy, Aries, to ensure this is a necessary purchase. If not, then put it back. If you still want it the next time, then buy it. Although you like to spend it, the Arian born on this day is proficient when it comes to handling the purse or wallet. You rarely suffer with money worries.
If today April 5 is your zodiac birthday, you love to look good. You will find them shopping at the out of the way places for something different. Aries born, you like to be fit on the inside as well so you eat right.
You should be encouraged to drink more water, however. Dehydration can have many side effects so drinking the required amount of fluids can even eliminate those headaches you may be suffering. Although you do not drink a lot of water, you have an overall great health report.
The April 5th birthday meanings show you can be a loving Aries but you can be controlling at the same time. Arians born on this day, love to as good as they feel.
Although you have an odd sense of style, people look up to you. You sometimes worry too much. Relax. You cannot please everyone all the time. Besides, you are Aries the Ram!

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Full Moon phase. The Moon will be visible throughout the night sky rising at sunset in the east and setting with the sunrise the next morning in the west. During a Full Moon the moon is 100% illuminated as seen from Earth and is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The point at which a Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time it takes between full moons is known as a Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long. Keep track of all the Full Moons throughout the year on the Full Moon Calendar >
Visit the May 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
The Full Moon on May 5 has an illumination of 100%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On May 5 the Moon is 14.53 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.
There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

A lunar eclipse will be joining the full Flower Moon of May 2023.
On Friday (May 5) at 11:15 a.m. EDT (1515 GMT), a lunar eclipse will begin as the moon enters the outer edge of Earth’s shadow. This particular type of lunar eclipse is known as penumbral, meaning skywatchers will be able to see the face of the moon darken without completely disappearing. The event will reach its peak at 1:24 p.m. EDT (1724 GMT), some two hours after beginning, and end at 3:32 p.m. EDT (1932 GMT) as the Earth’s shadow leaves the moon once again.
Unfortunately for those of us in the Western Hemisphere, this event will only be visible from Australia, Antarctica, Eastern Africa, Oceania and Asia. Luckily, the Virtual Telescope Project will host a free livestream of the lunar eclipse of the full Flower Moon beginning at 2:45 p.m. EDT (1845 GMT) on Friday (May 5). The livestream will be available on the project’s website or YouTube channel.
