The Two of Wands Tarot Card Description

The Two of Wands card features a man standing on top of what looks like a castle and in his right hand he holds a miniature globe. From the way he is standing, the man is looking down upon the vast terrain, in which an ocean lies on the left-hand side, whilst the land stretches over on the right-hand side. The man is wearing an orange tunic and a red hat, symbolizing his enthusiasm towards life itself and hunger for adventure respectively. The miniature globe in his hand represents potential for possible expansion of his reach to broader life experiences.

Isa

Sound: “i”, “ee” as in “east”
Stands for: Ice
Color: Brown (Black)
Casting meaning: Like an icicle formed at the start of winter, with this rune we can only wait until the warmth of the sun allows us to be free from a constricting form. Isa represents a halt in activity until a change is made.

The Birds

Keywords: Unexpected news, change.

Meanings: The Birds Rune means some unexpected news that may alter your life completely. Especially if this is the leading rune. Generally the news will lead to a positive change but pay close attention to the nearest runes to determine its nature. It can also mean news of riends or family that you haven’t had contact with in quite a while. Letters and documents should be watched for as they may well bring happiness.

Koad

Grove, convergence, ecosystem, review, crossroads, harmony

Tree: Collection of various trees

Letter: Ch

Koad represents a point on the map of your life and cause to reflect on what got you there as well as where you are headed. Many factors conspired to bring you where you are today. An entire ecosystem exists in and around you that is as unique as a fingerprint. This ecosystem is neither entirely good nor entirely bad, which is why this Ogham and the rest of the Forfedha (Oir, Uilleand, Phagos, and Mor) are too complex to be read as well or ill-dignified. Koad is one particular harmony/dissonance at this point in your life. If your life is going well in some respects, this could mean a feeling of competence and capability or a feeling of love and being loved. If you are in a time of stress, Koad may represent the s**tstorm whirling around you. Or all of the above could be going on at once.
You are here to learn a certain set of unique lessons in this lifetime. There are many roads you can take any given day, and like one of those old Choose Your Own Adventure books, each road has its own outcome. Sometimes two seemingly different roads have the same outcome. Koad indicates a feeling of responsibility and ownership of your decisions, however, other factors you cannot control should be taken into account as well, such as family history, social norms, laws, and the era in which you dwell.

Many people do not realize that orchestral symphonies are major works that are frequently an hour in length. A symphony is an elaborate ABA form (think Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on steroids) with mini-breaks between three sections. If your life is a symphony, imagine Koad as one moment in one measure of a huge programmatic work of music. What harmony have you achieved? Are you in a slow or fast movement?

Hexagram Fifty – Two/52

Kên / The Mountain

Above this Mountain’s summit another more majestic rises:
The Superior Person is mindful to keep his thoughts in the here and now.

Stilling the sensations of the Ego, he roams his courtyard without moving a muscle, unencumbered by the fears and desires of his fellows.
This is no mistake.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

There is a higher vantage point available to you, but it is obscured by the visible peak of personal ambition.
To climb to this higher plane, you must shake off the desires and fears of the conscious, visible world around you.
To make this journey you must quiet the Ego, empty your mind of past and future, and dwell totally in the moment at hand.
Thorough mindfulness of what is before you is the only tranquility.
Be. Here. Now.

All Signs

It’s Valentines Day on Wednesday. Last year, Valentine’s Day was challenging and I suggested celebrating it later in the week. This year, it might be dicey in the morning, but later, things will get warm and cozy. (Warm and cozy is what we want.) However, the truth of the matter is that the beginning of the week, on Monday and Tuesday is when the vibes will be the sweetest and most amorous. Later in the week, there will be people who want to take control of everything. Downright pushy. Do yourself a favour and avoid them if you can. In the meantime, the wise will ponder this:

Roses are red.

The grass is green.

Take me to Valentine’s dinner,

Or I’ll make a scene!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week both Venus and Mars move in to your House of Friendships to join the Sun, Mercury and Pluto. This gathering of planets will definitely boost your desire to schmooze with friends. It will also encourage you to interact with clubs, groups, organizations, conferences and conventions. Oh yes, you’ll be out there flying your colours! There might be a particular event that will amplify your competitive nature. You’ll enjoy hanging out with younger people as well as creative and artistic types. This is an unusual emphasis in this one area of your chart so make the most of this. You will shine with your friends. You will also be a natural leader in any group activity. Don’t leave home without your megaphone.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week is unusual because you literally have a gaggle of planets at the very top of your chart. What this will do, among other things, is arouse your ambition as never before! You’ll be determined to do what you set out to do and nothing will stop you. Fortunately, because the Sun is also at the top of your chart, casting you in a flattering spotlight, people will make way for you. They will admire you and very likely, they will not oppose you. Of course, because Mars and Pluto are lined up at the top of your chart as well, you’re coming on like gangbusters! Actually, this is an unusual influence so while you have this advantage – use it. Go after what you want!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You will have the wanderlust this week because five planets will meet in a part of your chart that makes you want to explore the world to broaden your horizons. If you can’t travel, then be a tourist in your own neighbourhood. But do something different! Make an effort to study and learn new things. Meet people from different backgrounds and other cultures. Meanwhile, medical matters, as well as legal situations, might come to a head. You might be challenged, but you will very likely end up with a favourable outcome. This is also a good time to explore opportunities in higher education, publishing and the media. Make hay while the Sun shines!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This continues to be a popular time for you; nevertheless, this week you can’t ignore a strong influence that is taking place in one of your Money Houses (And why would you ignore it?) This Money House (you have two Money Houses) is the one that deals with the money and wealth you share with others, including debt. This blast of energy will mean you have a strong focus now and possible disputes about debt, insurance issues, inheritances and anything to do with shared property. Despite the possibility of disputes, the presence of other planets indicates that difficulties will likely be settled in your favour. Yes, take the money and run!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s unusual, but this week there are five planets sitting opposite your sign, which means they are in your House of Partnerships and Marriage. Obviously, your focus on close friends and partners will be strong! Because Mars is lined up with Pluto, these dynamics will be powerful. You might attract someone to you who wants to take charge of the situation. Fortunately, Mercury, Venus and the Sun will soften things, and encourage discussion, compromise and genial compatibility. Meanwhile, you’re a romantic; so hopefully, you’ll be pleased with Valentine’s Day. If you’re on your own –treat yourself! You’re worth it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It pleases you if you can be useful and productive. Of course, you like to relax and party as much as anyone else; but personally, you have high standards for yourself. You like to make things happen. Furthermore, you like to get them done in an efficient way so that you can feel proud of your efforts. This week you’ll have no trouble doing that because five planets have gathered in your House of Employment, which will activate your desire to be as productive as possible. You might be a bit bossy about giving orders and delegating to others; nevertheless, people will help you. Discussions about work, as well as health issues, and even your pet will take place.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It’s play city for your sign this week! Lucky Librans might be too busy to read this column because they’re off on an exciting vacation somewhere. In any case, you will enjoy schmoozing with others, especially on romantic outings. The arts and the entertainment world will appeal. Meet friends for dinner, for lunch or for Happy Hour. Sports events and fun activities with kids will also be great choices. This is an excellent time for romance, especially at the beginning of the week, so keep your eyes open. New romance might blossom, and existing relationships will be cozy and supportive. This is also a strong week to work in the arts or in any creative project that interests you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Without question, this week is all about home, family and your private life. You might be more involved than usual with a parent. Family discussions will definitely take place, in part because you are redecorating and making improvements and repairs to where you live. For some reason, increased activity and chaos on the home front will require your attention. In fact, expect a few intense discussions with family members, as people debate certain issues and each party wants their own way. Nevertheless, your wishes will likely prevail because you’re holding all the cards. And let’s face it, not only that – you’re a Scorpio. “Don’t mess with the kid.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a fast-paced, energetic week for you – just the way you like it. Get out and travel if you can. You will certainly love some short trips. Conversations with siblings, relatives and neighbours will delight. Your ability to communicate will be excellent, which is good news for those of you who write, act, teach or sell. This same strong astrological influence will help you learn, which is why this is the perfect time to take a course or study something. This makes sense because this year you can truly improve your job or get a better job. Let us not forget, you can also improve your health. Go team go!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You like status and respect; and you know that sometimes money can help to create this. (Not always.) No doubt this will encourage you this week when five planets are sitting in your Money House of earnings and personal wealth. Trust your moneymaking ideas. Be open to opportunities that come your way that could mean a raise or even a better-paying job. Not only are you alert to these possibilities but you will be proactive about going after them. Good stuff! Possibly, this strong emphasis on money and cash flow means you’re spending big and making ambitious purchases. Or maybe you’re doing both? Ka-ching!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Holy Moly! This week there are five planets in your sign: the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto. (Yeah, yeah, astrologers are lazy and we call the Sun a planet.) To put it mildly, this certainly means it’s all about you. The Sun, Mars and Pluto will make you energized, dynamic, focused and intent about going after what you want. Mercury will encourage you to be talkative, convincing and persuasive; and fair Venus will make you charming and diplomatic. Oh yes! An amazing and fortunate combination that favours you in a most unusual way. Therefore, if there’s something that you want to achieve or you want to make work for you – go after it! It will never be as easy as it is right now.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

In some ways, the world is stealing your thunder right now because a strong handful of planets is actually hidden in your chart. Ah well, it is what it is. On one hand, this certainly means that whatever work you do quietly, by yourself, or behind the scenes might have enormous consequences of which many will not be aware. You might make amazing deals “behind closed doors.” You’re like a swan gliding gently along the water while your feet are furiously paddling unseen. Naturally, this means if you have to do something that is supposed to be “hidden” or is yet to be announced – then you have the advantage! (Good news for spies and those who work in intelligence.) More likely, this means that many of you might be indulging in love affairs and secret trysts.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, 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. 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.

Four Of Wands

The Four of Wands card describe a couple dancing under a wreath hanging among four sticks. This wreath is similar to the kind that used in traditional Jewish ceremonies and therefore, it represents the time spent completing work and the satisfaction with achieving a goal. Surrounding them is a group of people, and behind them is a large castle which is also decorated with flowers. It seems to be a celebration, an opportunity to return home or a celebration from within the castle.

Phagos

Teaching, education, mastery, virtuosity, legacy

Tree: Beech (Fagus spp.)

Letter: Ph or F

Phagos is a reminder of the mental discipline it takes in the process of acquiring knowledge. When you get to the point of knowing a subject so well, you can teach it effortlessly, then you have mastered the subject on the mental plane, which reverberates through the other planes. Saturated knowledge is knowing a thing inside and out. Those who believe in reincarnation believe this is the kind of knowledge that does not go away when you shed one mortal body for the next one: for instance, a skilled midwife will stand a good chance of coming back as a competent ob/gyn who stumbles upon their talent in a seemingly random way. Or a lute player may be reborn and pick up the guitar at age twelve and learn it faster than any other kid in their class because of knowledge picked up in past lifetimes.

Hexagram Twenty-Four/24

Name: Fu.

Keyphrase: Turning point.

Formed By The Trigrams: Earth over Thunder.

General: If matters are progressing and showing steady improvement then there is no need to push them.

Love: New romance will be rekindled in your life.

Business: The next few months will show a steady improvement of your business.

Personal: It is a good time to plan for the future.

Overview: Fu relates to a gradual improvement over time. It is a very natural progress and will occur without any effort on your part. In some ways the progress is unstoppable. However, you should not make any attempt to force the issue and hurry it along. Let it take its own course and time. Treat this new beginning with care and do not make the mistake of handling it roughly by trying to force it.

Six

If your life path number is 6, you are someone who thinks, speaks and acts from the heart. You are sincere, loving, warm and affectionate. It would serve you to find a job where you can bring and apply these wonderful qualities, such as a kindergarten teacher, pediatrician, social worker, or a therapist. You are made for long-term relationships and family life. Shallow pursuits and one-night stands aren’t your thing. When you touch someone, it’s real. But because you are too focused on the relational aspects of your life, you may end up bringing those people who don’t care as much as you do, into your life. If the digits of a date add up to number 6, it’s a wonderful time to create love! Work on a universal theme, help poor communities in distant places or the homeless on your block. It’s the best time to be there for other people.

One Hundred Eleven

Number 111 means that energy gate is opened and your thoughts are materializing so quickly right now. Choose carefully your thoughts at this time. They need to be in harmony with your wishes and desires. Give absolutely no energy to fears, otherwise they can become reality and get fulfilled quicker than you thought.

Spell For Tuesday – Sun Stone Physical Energy

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Sun Stone Physical Energy

You will need the following items for this spell:

Sun stone

Casting Instructions

Take a piece of sunstone to an eastern windowsill at sunrise

alternatively, place the stone outside in the East where it can absorb

the rays of the morning Sun. Offer the stone to the Sun and chant:

 “Flaming Orb of rising power

Add vital energy hour by hour

To this stone with flecks of gold

Give it Your power, great and bold,

And when the light of day is through

And with your zest this stone is imbued, It shall come back home to me

To impart Your zestful energy.”

Leave the stone absorb the energy of the rising Sun, but don’t retrieve it until sundown this gives the energy time to ‘settle’ in the stone. Carry the sunstone with you.

You might change a romantic partner, or attract a new romance, especially midweek! This is because our wishful thinking is lined up with a vortex of energy that will make some dreams come true. It’s possible this requires a new way of “seeing” things. Especially what you expect for yourself. We know that when we change the way we see things, the things we see change. In the same way that language can limit our choices, many unrealized dreams are eclipsed by fear and lack of imagination. Remember Dumbo’s magic feather? “Saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band, saw a needle that winked its eye. But I think I will have seen everything when I see an elephant fly.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a popular week for you! You might have a position of leadership in an organization or a group. You will definitely have busy discussions with others, especially younger people. Do be aware that this is the perfect week to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone because their feedback might help you. Run your ideas up the flagpole because whatever feedback you get will be critical to your success. This week, your plans to accomplish something now or in the future are predicated on whether or not you believe it’s possible. Remember, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark. Think big!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You have an advantage over all the other signs if you want to achieve your dreams right now. The fact is that the Sun is at the top of your chart, which casts you in an imaginary “spotlight,” which is flattering! This means others are impressed with you and have respect and faith in you even if you don’t do anything different. Meanwhile, you might have longed-for ideas about travel plans, dealing with foreign countries, issues related to publishing, medicine and the law or anything to do with higher education and getting training or teaching. It’s important for you to believe that your dreams are achievable. Knock on the door.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Plans to travel or do something to expand your world fill your thoughts. These plans might include publishing, the media or something to do with higher education. They might also relate to medical or legal matters. Whatever the case, if you need to attract the financial support or the practical support of a partner or third party in order to make your dreams come true – this is a strong possibility this week. Look for ways to support what it is that you want to do. After all, lucky Jupiter enters your sign this year for the first time in 12 years, which means good fortune is coming your way! This is your chance to go for the gold!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It’s not surprising that you’re focused on financial matters related to taxes, debt and insurance issues. You might also be thinking a lot about inheritances, shared property or how to divide or share something. As you ponder these issues, it’s important to know that this week, you can get practical or financial assistance and help from another source — perhaps a close friend, partner or even an organization or business. The key is to believe that you can get this help. Obviously, you’ll have to ask for it. If you’re turned down, you’re no worse off than you are right now. But this week has magical possibilities for all of us! Reach out for assistance. See what happens.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your focus on close friends and partners is strong. Fortunately, you have more objectivity to see these relationships, which in turn, gives you the insight and awareness about how to improve them. (Obviously, the improvements will be based on your own choices and behaviour because you can’t expect the other person to change.) Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, all kinds of possibilities related to your job or your health might offer radical changes this week. You might see that something is doable because you learned about it for the first time, or you have more information about it. The key is to believe that it’s possible! The rest is up to you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re still in work mode, which is why you’re giving everything your best shot. It’s also why you want to be efficient and effective in everything you do. You want your actions to count, which is why you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get the job done. Nevertheless, it’s important to know that romantic possibilities abound for your sign this week! Oh yes! It’s glass slipper time! Don’t be afraid to dream the impossible. Make the first move. At least, smile a little or flirt. Existing romantic relationships can also feel recharged in an exciting way. Think positive! Remember Richard Bach: “Argue for your limitations and they’re yours.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a playful time for you, which is why many of you are socializing more than usual. You might also enjoy sports events and fun activities with kids. You will certainly enjoy a vacation! Nevertheless, be aware that exciting changes related to romance are possible this week. New romance, especially midweek, is a definite promise for many of you. Think positive and keep your eyes open! Be friendly. Be receptive. Meanwhile, some of you will bring about changes within your family dynamic or your home — perhaps something that you’ve always wanted to do? These changes might be something you thought were impossible; but now it appears they might be a reality. Good luck!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is an interesting week for you. For starters, home, family and your private life are your primary focus. In fact, many of you might be dealing with a parent more than usual. Family discussions and home repairs will take up some of your time. However, perhaps more than any other sign, you have the ability now to make some wishes come true! If you focus strongly or believe in something that you want to achieve, and make the effort to do so, your chances for success will be excellent. Yes, this sounds like clap your hands if you believe in fairies. But this kind of astrological influence is actually at play for you in your chart this week.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have a full schedule of errands, tasks, increased reading, writing and studying as well as visits with friends, siblings, neighbours and relatives. Yes, you’re busy! Some of you are also learning and studying as well as teaching. Despite all that is going on, it’s good for you to take a beat and think about your finances and cash flow. You might also consider your belongings and everything you own. This is because it might be possible for you to change your financial status, or wealth, or assets by acting on a wish that you have. You might have had this wish before but you doubted it would come true. Why not try it?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your focus on earnings and cash flow continues this week. In fact, some of you might have excellent moneymaking ideas or you might see ways to boost your income. However, an unusual influence is present in your chart this week that will make you more perceptive than usual, particularly to the needs of others. You will feel fulfilled if you can help friends or family who are in a pinch or suffering in some way. You might also seek time to meditate or pursue self-care. Some of you might be more interested in psychic phenomena and occult literature because you’re in touch with your imagination and realm of possibilities. Don’t hesitate to act on some of your wishes because they might materialize.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are an idealistic sign, especially when it comes to helping friends or working to improve society and this global village we call planet Earth. Therefore, it’s important to know that you are particularly strong now because the Sun, Mercury and Pluto are in your sign. When you speak, you’re convincing! Others will listen to you. Meanwhile, a particular astrological influence is present this week that means you might work behind the scenes to benefit someone or to benefit a group. There’s no question that your idealism is aroused and you want to make a difference. This is also a strong time for a hidden romance, especially midweek. You might meet someone. Anything could happen. Keep an open mind to all kinds of new possibilities.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This week you prefer to be private and play things low-key. Nevertheless, you might be pulled out of your personal space if you have an opportunity to help someone. Or you might work on behalf of a charitable organization or a group that provides aid to people who are less fortunate or in trouble. If you see an opportunity to do this, you will definitely act because you will have a genuine concern for the welfare of others. However, you might also use this same influence in a creative, artistic way. You might work with a theatrical group or the entertainment world by using your imagination.

Snow Moon: Full Moon in February 2024

Source: almanac.com

Got your snow shovels ready? February’s full Snow Moon reaches its peak on Saturday, February 24, 2024! It’s also a micromoon! How is that different from a supermoon? Why is it called the full Snow Moon? Find out in our February Moon Guide!

When to See the Full Moon in February 2024

February’s full Snow Moon reaches peak illumination at 7:30 A.M. EST on Saturday, February 24. It will be below the horizon at this time, so for the best view of this Moon, look for it starting the night before or later on Saturday; it will drift above the horizon in the east around sunset and reach its highest point in the sky around midnight. See when the Moon will be visible in your area.

February Micromoon

February’s full Moon is a “Micromoon” this year. Think of this term as the opposite of a “Supermoon.” It simply means that the full Moon is at its farthest point from Earth (not the nearest point). In astronomical terms, we call this “apogee.” Specifically, February’s Micro full Moon is about 252,225 miles from Earth.

Why is the Moon nearer or farther (in this instance) from Earth? Simple: The Moon orbits Earth in an elliptical path. One side is nearer to Earth, and one side is farther. This distance affects the Moon’s size and brightness, although it’s probably not visible to the naked eye. The perceived size of the Moon from Earth is more related to the “Moon Illusion” and how close the Moon appears to the horizon; in this case, it’s high above the horizon, so it may not appear to loom over us the way it appears when it’s near the horizon.

Why Is It Called the Snow Moon?

The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not just to the full Moon itself.

The Snow Moon

The explanation behind February’s full Moon name is a fairly straightforward one: it’s known as the Snow Moon due to the typically heavy snowfall that occurs in February. On average, February is the United States’ snowiest month, according to data from the National Weather Service. In the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver, who had visited with the Naudowessie (Dakota), wrote that the name used for this period was the Snow Moon, “because more snow commonly falls during this month than any other in the winter.”

Alternative February Moon Names

Names for this month’s Moon have historically had a connection to animals. The Cree traditionally called this the Bald Eagle Moon or Eagle Moon. The Ojibwe Bear Moon and Tlingit Black Bear Moon refer to the time when bear cubs are born. The Dakota also call this the Raccoon Moon; certain Algonquin peoples named it the Groundhog Moon, and the Haida named it Goose Moon.

Another theme of this month’s Moon names is scarcity. The Cherokee names of Month of the Bony Moon and Hungry Moon give evidence to the fact that food was hard to come by at this time.

Moon Facts and Folklore

On February 6, 1971, Alan Shepard became the first man to hit a golf ball on the Moon.

Did you know that the Moon’s diameter is 2,160 miles? This is less than the width of the United States (approximately 3,000 miles), and 0.27 of Earth’s diameter (7,926 miles).

Wolves have howled at the Moon for centuries, yet it is still there.

And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the Moon.
—Edward Lear, English poet (1812-88)

Sun

Growth, new beginnings, fertility, prosperity, solar magic, god

When this witches rune pops up in a reading, I typically smile. The sun means different things to different people; however, the fact that it sustains the planet also means it sustains our lives and brings an abundance of good things. Also linked to our solar plexus, vitality, health and self confidence.

Beith/Beth

Letter B

Beith, or Beth, corresponds to the letter B in the alphabet, and is associated with the Birch tree. When this symbol is used, it is representative of new beginnings, change, release, and rebirth. In some traditions, it also has connections with purification.

Birch trees are hardy. They’ll grow just about anywhere, including on bare soil. Because they tend to grow in clusters, what may be just one or two seedlings now can be practically an entire forest in a few decades. In addition to being a sturdy sort of tree, the Birch is useful. In days gone by, it was used for infants’ cradles, and is still harvested today to make cabinets and furniture.

From a magical perspective, there are a number of uses for Birch. The branches are traditionally incorporated into the construction of a besom, and are used for the bristles. Use the white outer bark in ritual in place of paper or parchment–just be sure you only harvest the bark from a fallen Birch tree, not a living one. Ancient herbalists discovered that various parts of this tree can be used for medicinal purposes. Bark was once brewed into a tea to fight fevers, and the leaves were used alternately as a laxative and a diuretic, depending on how they were prepared.

Beith Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means it’s time to get rid of all those negative influences you’ve been carrying around with you. Figure out what things are bad in your life, which relationships are toxic, and find a way to leave them behind. Instead of being dragged down by the negative, focus on the positive things you have in your life, the blessings and abundance. Use these things as a focus, rather than the harmful or damaging ones.

Magical Aspects: Consider the property of renewal and rebirth, as demonstrated by the Birch. Use this as a tool for spiritual and emotional regrowth, and developing your own ability to regenerate where there has been emptiness or devastation.

All Signs

This week begins with a high-energy influence on Monday and Tuesday, which will help all of us to be able to get a lot done. Do get out of bed and get cracking! Quite literally, we can make hay while the Sun shines. By contrast, following this marvellous two-day burst of energy, we will suddenly want to relax and indulge in favourite pastimes, accompanied with the requisite guilt. (Guilt really does enhance the pleasure of something.) By the weekend, romance will flourish! Eyes across a crowded room and all that. Actually, the Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) will really dazzle this week. The rest of us will applaud from the sidelines. And naturally, we want our 15% cut.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your ruler fiery Mars is at the top of your chart lined up with unpredictable Uranus in one of your Money Houses. This means that if you want to really put it out there, and be proactive, and let your ambition channel what’s happening — you might be surprised at the payoff! But what it takes at the beginning of this week will be your commitment to an idea. Bosses, parents and VIPs will be impressed with your commitment and from that, it naturally follows that their favourable view of you will lead to a situation that ultimately can boost your earnings or attract a better job your way. Keep your eyes open. This week – you can’t lose!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You make a fabulous impression on bosses, parents and teachers because the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. (Happens for four weeks once a year.) This is your time to go for the gold! Something unexpected related to foreign countries, higher education, medicine, legal matters or publishing might yield a surprising opportunity. If so, you have to be ready to act. Stay off your heels. If you want to capitalize on this opportunity, be aware that because you look so good to authority figures – they will likely help you or promote your good name. (What’s the point of having an advantage if you don’t use it?)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are a freedom-loving soul, and right now you want to “get away from all this.” You want a change of scenery. Ideally, you want to escape to sunny climes with white beaches and people in tropical apparel. (Lots of skin showing.) And because of this desire, many of you will travel and escape to a place that pleases you. Meanwhile, financial matters are favourable this week. It’s an excellent time to ask for a loan or mortgage. Doors will open for you. In fact, gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. Personally, feelings of desire are heightened. (Be still my beating heart.) Plan on a romantic weekend at the end of the week. Your adoring fans await you. Yay!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Dealings with others are tricky because three planets are opposite your sign right now – Mercury, Venus and Mars. Naturally, Mercury will encourage conversations and attract talkative people to you. Fair Venus will pave the way for warm, loving relations with those who are closest to you plus members of the general public. However, Mars will make you easily annoyed with someone (probably because they are annoying). This means you will have to demonstrate grace under pressure. You are more sensitive than most people know, which means you have to deal with these feelings as best you can. Fortunately, this is a popular time for you! Furthermore, your time of harvest (happens once every 30 years) is about 18 months away! You have much to look forward to!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Well, for starters, we do know that you need more sleep. Appreciate your need for more rest and get it. Don’t be a hero by ignoring this because it will only make you impatient or grumpy. Fortunately, this is a productive week for you because three planets are in your House of Employment giving you drive, motivation and the energy to finish what you begin. Furthermore, coworkers will help you. For example, it’s an excellent time to improve your workspace. Of course, with Jupiter at the top of your chart, your reputation is shining! (A gold star for you!) Make the most of this. Now is the time to make your pitch because you look successful!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re pumped to work and get as much done as possible. Because you’re ambitious to achieve, you will work efficiently and effectively. (Don’t be smug.) (Well, maybe a little.) In addition to your desire to work hard, you also want to improve your health. (You want it all — but why not?) Meanwhile, three planets are highlighting the part of your chart that is about play and vacations! This s why you will particularly enjoy socializing, and meeting friends for lunch, Happy Hour, the movies or drinks. Sports events will also appeal along with playful activities with kids. Take note that this weekend is full of romantic promise, especially Saturday. Enjoy!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

More than any other sign in the zodiac, you are the one who wants to play. In fact, you might even play hooky because your desire for fun and goofing off is so strong. By all means, slip away on a vacation if you can. Make time to socialize with friends. Enjoy sporting events as well as fun activities with children. Naturally, romance will flourish, especially this weekend. Having said this, there are also three planets that want you to focus on home, family and your private life. This is why you might redecorate and dabble in home repairs as well as entertain at home. Make lists. Keep a schedule. You’re busy!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re focused on home and family, and perhaps a parent. Like last week, the universe is giving you a double message. Three planets want you to schmooze, which is why you’ll enjoy short trips, meeting people and appreciating your daily surroundings. Many of you will also write, read and study more than usual; plus, all this will happen at a busy, accelerated pace! However, by contrast, part of you will wants to hide at home and eat Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. Of course, you will bounce back and forth between these contrasting energies. Fortunately, you can eat ice cream wherever you are.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re PowerPoint on steroids this week, especially on Monday and Tuesday. Make the most of the energy that you have at the beginning of this week because you will get a lot done. Your daily pace will accelerate because you have a busy schedule of short trips, errands, conversations with everyone, appointments plus increased reading, writing and studying. It’s a great week to write, sell or teach. Whatever you do, you’ll be productive, especially in the beginning of the week! Meanwhile, three planets are in your Money House attracting money to you and giving you moneymaking ideas. Therefore, make the most of the beginning of this week — then kick back, relax and enjoy yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your schmooze factor is strong this week because Venus is prominent in your sign. Oh yes, people see you as charming and diplomatic. (And you are!) Plus, they think you’re attractive. (Note: This is still an excellent time to buy wardrobe goodies.) With Mercury and Mars in your sign, you’re proactive, confident and ready to speak up. Meanwhile, the Sun is in your Money House giving you a strong desire to boost your earnings. Therefore, decide what you want and make a bid for it. As the saying goes, you can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket. If you ask for more money and you don’t get it, you’re right where you are now – and you haven’t lost a thing, except your pride. Do it!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You reign supreme now with the Sun in your sign. Take advantage of this once-a-year blessing, especially in the beginning of the week on Monday and Tuesday when you can go after what you want and probably get it. Yes! You might be involved in some behind-the-scenes deals or work very quietly on your own. Keep in mind that real estate holds a lot of potential for you in terms of speculation or earnings. This weekend is an especially romantic time, and many of you are having a secret love affair. Hmmm. In fact, much of your life is a bit “secretive” right now. This is also an excellent week to do research, perhaps to enrich your family life.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Once again, two opposing influences are at play for your sign. One of them will make you want to seek out some privacy and enjoy your own solitude in beautiful surroundings. However, by contrast, the other influence wants you to schmooze and socialize! It urges you to hang out with younger people and see creative artistic friends. Very likely, some of you are feeling competitive right now perhaps with teams or groups. The important thing to know is that the beginning of this week will bring you wonderful opportunities to achieve your goals. Therefore, use the influence of these social planets to be commanding, confident and get things done. Later in the week, enjoy schmoozing with friends.

Spell for Sunday – Intuitive Guidance Candle Dressing

Intuitive Guidance Candle Dressing

Often in life we find ourselves in situations where it is difficult to separate a gut feeling from facts. Life is full of contradictions, and sometimes it can be impossible to know which way to turn, which course of action to take, or what really is right for you. This candle dressing can be used whenever you’re facing a hard choice or when outside opinions are at odds with your inner feelings.

For anointing:

1 drop sandalwood oil

1 drop lavender oil,

1 drop frankincense oil

1 teaspoon dried crushed mugwort

1 teaspoon dried crushed eyebright

1 pinch powdered nutmeg

Draw an X shape on a piece of paper to symbolize the many choices you’re facing. Anoint and dress a light purple or light blue candle. Secure it safely in a holder and set it on the intersecting lines of the X. Light your candle when you’re asking for guidance or allow it to safely burn throughout your day. The answer will reveal itself.
