July 2023 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

  • a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
  • b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

  • a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
  • b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

WHAT PLANETS ARE RETROGRADE JULY 2023? TBH, IT’S KIND OF A LOT

From elitedaily.com

Here’s to longer days, shorter nights, as well as a booked and busy social calendar. It’s summertime, baby! As the sun prepares to shift into its home sign of Leo this month, you’ll be tapping into your main character energy just in time for a beach vacation. However, as you prepare to sit back and relax, July 2023’s retrograde planets are coming in extra hot. In total, there will be four planets reversing through the cosmos in July, which is a biiit much — but only one will actually be stationing retrograde this month: Venus. She’ll easily be the star of the show this summer, which means that you will be paying your relationships a lot of attention.

What’s A Retrograde?

A retrograde is an apparent change in movement of any planet through the sky. Each of the eight planets (excluding the luminaries, aka the sun and moon) maintain a consistent retrograde cycle, unique to their relative speeds. The inner planets, like Mercury, Venus, and Mars, experience shorter retrograde periods; the outer planets, like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, station retrograde for extended lengths, since they move at a slower pace. When a planet stations retrograde, it appears to be reversing its steps through the cosmos, but in reality, the celestial body is just moving at a much slower speed than normal. This is where retrograde mishaps tend to come from: The change in tempo tends to impact the planet’s ability to accomplish its usual objective.

What Planets Will Be Retrograde July 2023?

As previously mentioned, there will be a total of four planets retrograde in July, but only one Venus will be stationing retrograde this month. The planet of love, pleasure, and creativity will be joining Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, all of which stationed retrograde in the months prior. This is the first time Venus will station retrograde in Leo since 2015, so it’s bound to bring some important themes into focus specifically in the house Leo resides in everyone’s birth chart.

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign due to the Full Moon energy taking place today. An accident does not have to take place; however, you might be distracted, especially emotionally. Stay mindful.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Financial issues might come to a head today because of the Full Moon energy. This could pertain to banking, inheritances, shared property, cash flow or your earnings. Note: problems intensify as any Full Moon approaches, and after the Full Moon peaks, these problems diminish! (Fingers crossed.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This is an indication that you have tension building up between you and a close friend, partner or spouse. The good news is that after it peaks, (see Moon Alert above), these problems will diminish or disappear. Yay!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Good news! The Full Moon today might have triggered some problems dealing with your health or your job in the last few days. However, today it will peak in the morning, which means as the day wears on, these same problems will likely diminish or disappear.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might have felt some tension building up between you and others, especially friends or groups that you belong to in the last few days. You’ll be happy to know that when the Full Moon peaks this morning, it could blow those problems away! (One can only hope.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Perhaps you were caught between the demands of home and family versus the demands of career and your public reputation, recently? This is because of the build up toward the Full Moon that peaks this morning. Hopefully, this day will bring a resolution.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Disputes about religion, philosophy, politics or travel decisions, or something to do with education, might have occurred in the last few days. If so, you’ll be happy to know that after today’s Full Moon peaks in the morning, these arguments will soften.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Financial matters might come to a head this morning, which means these problems might very well be resolved later today. (One hopes.) Every month problems tend to intensify as the Full Moon approaches, and then after it peaks, these same problems diminish. Go figure.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The Full Moon this morning is the only Full Moon that occurs in your sign all year. This is why you might have felt some tension building up between you and others in the last few days. Fortunately, after it peaks this morning (see above) life will get better! (Whew!)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Issues related to your health or your job or something hidden, behind the scenes, might have become a bit tense in the last few days. You have had to cope. Fortunately, the Full Moon peaks this morning, which means these problems will diminish. (That’s good to hear.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Romantic relationships, as well as relations with your kids, might have been challenging in the last several days. (Hard to keep everyone happy.) Fortunately, after the Full Moon peaks this morning, these problems will probably diminish or disappear. Expect the best because everyone will be happy again.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are going to start this week feeling focused and serious as the current astral disposition dictates it to you. And it seems that today you are going to be as complying as possible.

Just try not to take everything so seriously and to lighten up a bit whenever the time is asking for it. This is a great time to spend with your nose in a book, learning something new.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Don’t expect to be all creative and inspired this day as such dispositions are kind of far away for you. This means you won’t be that art lover this day and it will be kind of hard for you to understand abstract situations.

Today it seems you feel the need to stick to what is real and to work with practical activities rather than make plans or imagine things.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are going to start the week quite tense as it seems that work place pressure is rising up. You might be more active when it comes to collaborations and all sorts of practical engagements but the stress is still extremely high.

Make sure you spend your free time doing something that relaxes you and not thinking for a bit about work or responsibilities.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This week you will be mostly inspired to appease conflicts and stay together with those you love. Maybe you are preparing an important journey and you want to make those around you feel how important they are for you before you go.

However, no matter what is the situation at hand, it seems that you will be able to share your emotions and connect with others easily.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are going to be very creative today but also very stubborn. This means that you will definitely feel compiled to show your ideas to those around you but at the same time you won’t accept criticism or people not taking you in consideration.

Try not to be all tense about these things because they might not seem so important tomorrow or later.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is going to be an auspicious day for most natives that are having important meetings scheduled or who are courting partners both in love and business.

It seems that you are going to appear as authoritative and serious and people will find it easy to confide in you. Highlight your skills but also keep being modest about your realizations.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are going to start the week getting busy with all kinds of intellectual activities as the current aspects are beneficial for you to engage in such endeavors.

See which are the areas in your life where you feel the need to learn something more and follow them. It is also a great time to make use of your skills and be sure people will notice them.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It seems that the current disposition is prompting you to be more responsible and to take cautionary measures to ensure your stability.

This means that you will be searching for the company of people that you consider are serious and whom you feel you can confide in. Those natives whom are currently on a short leave might be interested in finding a stable job.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It seems that this beginning of the week announces itself to be quite peaceful and with little troubles. The relaxation in your life will definitely be seen in your activities and in the way you handle your interactions with other people.

You should however try not to be too pretentious in regard of what you want or need for those around you to do.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might feel the need to step aside and spend a day on your own. Maybe you still need to recharge your batteries and you feel like some solitary time will do you good.

However, it is important to keep an eye on these tendencies because they shouldn’t be repeating that often because there is no need for you to isolate from those close to you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you are strongly advised to manage your efforts wisely. It seems that you will be tempted to throw yourself all in an endeavor and that this might not be the best idea.

It’s good for you to feel motivated and enthusiastic about something but this is not the best disposition to risk or spend all your energy in just one project.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are going to be quite a difficult person to deal with today but it seems that this is just temporary. Your only fault to this disposition is that you won’t be able to see that there are things with regards to which you are too stubborn.

Don’t put all your energy into convincing others of your beliefs because you won’t have any chances to succeed given this disposition.

The Self

Remain modest – that is the right of the oracle.  Be in the world, but not from the world.  Stay receptive to impulses, that come out of the divine in the inner and outer sphere.  Seek  to live the usual life in an unusual manner.

If you take the ‘itself’ rune and cut through it in the middle, you are going to receive the rune of joy and its reflection.  So there is a fine warning not to be careless. The acrobatically dancing energy of the balance is asked here to bring its higher itself.  Nothing in the excess – that was the second request that was to be read at the entrance to the delphish temple.  The first advice read:  Recognize you yourself!

Beith/Beth

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.

Wind carries the Mists aloft:
Sage rulers dedicated their lives to serving a Higher Power and built temples that still endure.

The King approaches his temple.
Success if you stay on course.
You may cross to the far shore.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Walls meant to protect have instead separated and isolated.
Your defenses have kept you apart from those whom you most need to touch.
Whatever the reason for discord between you, it is time to lay down your arms.
Dispel the inflexible demands and fears of the Mind so that you may reunite in the Heart.
If you have begrudged, forgive.
If you have torn down, repair.
If you have injured, heal.
If you have judged, pardon.
If you have grasped, let go.

Numerology

From numerology.com

The numbers 1-9 are very important to the science of Numerology. The energy and meaning of each of these numbers is different, so whether we see them in our Numerology charts or wonder why they keep reappearing in our lives, it’s important to know what they mean so we can understand the messages they are sending us. The number 9, the very last of these numbers, has been on a long journey, and now shines its light of love and divine wisdom into the world.

What is the definition of 9 in Numerology?

The energy of the number 9 represents completion, but not finality. Think of it more in a cyclical sense; it’s about the ending of one cycle and the potential it creates for another cycle to begin. The 9 in Numerology acts as an usher in this process of transition or transformation, guiding and empowering us with its wisdom. It absorbs answers from a spiritual source, then delivers them to us in the real world.

This number is a humanitarian at heart. It is compassionate, kind, and intent on putting its efforts toward creating the greatest good. The 9 in Numerology has gone through its fair share of hardship and is wiser, stronger, and more aware as a result. These first-hand experiences make it especially understanding of others who are struggling and willing to provide valuable support.

All Signs

Saturn is now retrograde until November. This is like the violins in an orchestra holding one note. Saturn is associated with production, plans, structure and the reality of events. It is also associated with chronology and how things unfold. But while its retrograde, everything feels “hung up”. Serious plans might float off into the ether. Construction might slow down. The way to deal with this is to remember that negativity is “wanting things to be different from the way they are.” Therefore, if you ACCEPT what’s happening, then there’s no negativity. In fact, this acceptance gives you a chance to regroup, rethink, re-plan and check out hotel rates in Belarus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It’s time to make serious plans and get feedback from others. Many of you are already starting to downsize and let go of what you don’t need. (This will continue until 2026.) This is a fantastic opportunity to lighten up and get rid of dead weight in the next several years. Streamline your world! Meanwhile, good fortune is with you because you can count on getting richer this year because lucky Jupiter will be travelling through your major Money House. This week is fast-paced with errands, short trips and visits with relatives. However, you will welcome a chance to cocoon at home and focus on home repairs and DIY projects. Enjoy family discussions and perhaps increased involvement with a parent.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a fortunate time for you because lucky Jupiter is in your sign. In 2012, Jupiter was in your sign for only for six months. This time, Jupiter is in your sign from last month until June 2024. (Bonus!) This will boost your confidence, attract favourable opportunities to you, and in general make your life more fortunate. Increased activity and chaos dealing around family and home are unavoidable right now. However, you will enjoy entertaining as well as redecorating. Financial and money discussions are likely. Get ready for a very fast pace because short trips, increased travel, appointments and errands will keep you on the go! (Be patient on Thursday because that is a tough day.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’re focused on cash flow, finances, earnings and how to boost your income. In fact, if not now, then very soon, you will have some excellent moneymaking ideas! Your style of communicating with others is bolder and direct because fiery Mars is igniting how you talk and how you negotiate. You will be aggressive! Expect to dominate and win disputes. Mars will also push you “out into the world” so that you’re busier on a daily basis. (“I’ve got places to go, people to see and things to do!”) You will enjoy schmoozing with everyone because you feel loved and happy to be in the company of others. Monday is the Full Moon. Tread carefully. Ditto for Thursday. The rest of the week looks grand!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Tread carefully on Monday because the Full Moon is the only Full Moon all year that is opposite your sign. The best way to handle this is to be patient with everyone. Keep smiling. After that, it’s clear sailing; although Thursday is a challenging day. Nevertheless, this is a strong, financial time for you, which is why the cash is flowing. Work to earn money and enjoy spending it, especially on beautiful things and special gifts for yourself and others. Your popularity is increasing and will continue to increase in a lovely way until the summer of next year. Buy some new duds so you feel attractive and confident. (On sale, of course.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

There is a mixed message from the universe for you because astrological influences want you to cocoon at home and keep a low profile. And yet, in another way, you’re eager to schmooze! You feel attractive, warm and friendly. And in fact – you are! You’re diplomatic and charming because fair Venus is in your sign. This means you can call the shots. You can be reclusive when you want; and you can go out there and fly your colours when you want. At the beginning of the week, the Full Moon might create tension with coworkers. Meanwhile, make a note that Thursday is challenging for everyone. Aside from that, with Jupiter at the top of your chart – you rock!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are impressing bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police, which will soon gain you more popularity. Expect to make new friends; or join groups, clubs or professional associations. Now is the time to make plans for the future, even though Saturn is retrograde. You have time to rethink and regroup ideas, especially how you want things to unfold next year. You might be more involved with younger people. (Their feedback to your hoped-for goals will be helpful.) You might be involved in some secret activities. (Most likely a secret love affair.) Note: there’s a strong chance someone is working against your best interests. Be aware of this.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The Sun is now at top of your chart, which symbolizes that you are in a flattering spotlight. You look capable and competent to authority figures, even if you don’t do anything special. While you have this advantage, (next few weeks) — you can push your agenda or go after for what you want. Ask for approval or permission. In addition, relations with friends, especially artistic people, are warm and rewarding. You might also be involved competitively with others in physical sports or athletic activities. On Monday, the Full Moon might test your loyalty to home and family versus your obligations to your career and reputation. Juggle this as best you can.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have a strong desire now to create a home base that you feel you can rely on in the future. You want something solid. The last time you felt this strong urge was 1994-97. This means it’s totally appropriate for you to assess where you’re living and make repairs to your home. Or possibly, you will think about where you might move to next, so that you feel more settled. (We all need a safe refuge.) Meanwhile both Venus and Mars are at the top of your chart making you look attractive to some people in authority especially romantically). You also have a desire to spread your wings, which is why many of you will be travelling in the next few weeks. Get out and see the world! Expand your horizons!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are the traveller of the zodiac. You like to see new places, meet people and learn new things because you love to discover and study, and have heady conversations over a bottle of the local brew on a cobblestone courtyard somewhere, or admiring a Serengeti sunset. At the beginning of the week, financial disputes might be a drag. You might also have disputes about shared responsibilities. These will be settled quickly because they are related to the Full Moon. (Over fast.) This week is a fine time to clean up loose details with inheritances, bills, taxes, estates, insurance issues and anything to do with shared property or the wealth of your partner. Just do it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Tension with others on Monday is likely because the Full Moon is in your sign! (Only once a year.) When you’re unhappy with how things are unfolding everything seems very real and static — as if this is the way things are and always will be. But not so! Life is a constantly changing landscape. Don’t get hung up on the now because things are coming to fruition in your life. You are in a window of time that’s all about flux and change. In the next two years, you will change residences, jobs or both. You will also change your ideas about many things because you are finishing a journey that you began around 2018, which was to reinvent yourself.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Many of you are still in play mode, enjoying vacations, socializing, having fun activities with kids as well as sports events. However, very soon, (if not already), you’re keen to be productive. Suddenly, you want to work hard and you want to work smart because you want to accomplish as much as possible. You will set high standards for yourself, which will also apply to your health. Oh yes, you’re on a mission. Fortunately, close friends and partners are supportive. This is good news because you can look forward to opportunities to improve where you currently live or explore the chance to move to something better.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Many of you are downsizing and getting rid of deadweight that is holding you back. Bravo! Others have already moved on and started off on an entirely new course – one in which you will reinvent yourself in the next seven years. Your new path is so different, many of you have actually changed your daily wardrobe. Despite your recent focus on home, family and your private life, you are now starting to look towards to fun options. Vacations! Romance! Sports events and exciting activities with kids. In other words, you want to have fun and enjoy the good life! A work-related romance might begin for some of you. Parents: please be patient with your kids at the beginning of the week. Enjoy!

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 9:15 AM to 1:30 PM EDT today (6:15 AM to 10:30 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Parents should be extra vigilant about their kids today because this is an accident-prone day for your children. Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change today. They might be cancelled, delayed or you might receive a surprise invitation? Caution about sports accidents.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Surprise changes to your home routine are likely today. Unexpected guests or family members might drop by. Be smart and stock the fridge so that you have food and drink on hand. However, this same kind of surprise could affect real-estate negotiations.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Expect detours to your day today; hopefully, pleasant ones. Something surprising and out of the blue might change your routine. You might get an invitation or an opportunity to go in a different direction, see new people or visit new places. Interesting day!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unexpected could impact them. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. You snooze, you lose.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you’re restless for adventure! You will be bored with routine. This is why you will be spontaneous and suddenly do things or say things that will trigger some variety or stimulation in your life. You might even fall in love. You’re certainly ready for fun.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Something going on behind the scenes might create a surprise for you today. In all likelihood, it will be something pleasant but unexpected. It will also be something about which only you (and possibly a few others) know anything about. (It’s a fun secret.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you might meet someone who is unusual and different from the kind of person you normally know. Or possibly, someone you know will do something that surprises you? You might be approached by a group with a special offer or invitation? Could be anything.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Unexpected praise from a parent, or a boss, or someone in authority might delight you today. You might even be surprised. For some, it could be a promotion. For others, it might be a flirtation or the beginning of a new romance. Quite likely, someone will seek your advice today.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Surprise opportunities to travel might fall in your lap today. If so, act quickly because this window of opportunity will be brief. Others will explore unexpected opportunities in legal or medical fields, and possibly something to do with higher education or publishing. Act fast!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep your pockets open because unexpected gifts, goodies and favours from others can come your way today. If you are negotiating for a loan or mortgage, or dealing with insurance disputes, you might be surprised with good news. Likewise, you are favoured in disputes about shared property.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A partner or close friend will likely surprise you today. If so, you’ll be pleased because very likely it will be good news. Or perhaps, you will meet someone today who is unusual, bohemian or avant-garde? This person is different from the kind of person you know in your personal circles.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A pleasant surprise related to your work or any task that you set for yourself today will please you. Likewise, positive news related to a pet or even your health might catch you off guard, but pleasantly so. This is the classic day to go overboard with sweets or have seconds on desert. (Yummers!)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Margot Robbie (1990) shares your birthday today. You are imaginative, intuitive and you have excellent organizational skills. You have the confidence and ability to make things happen. Nevertheless, privately, you are a sensitive person. This is a year of learning and teaching for you. It’s also time to renew your spiritual or religious beliefs. Be a seeker.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are going to feel somewhat inclined to expand this day. Maybe there are things you are not content with or maybe there’s time to set your plans in motion.

As long as you are packed with both ambition and persistence, there will be little things to stand your way. It is also a good time to travel or to go places to display your ideas or your work.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you are going to be quite stressed out and probably wondering why you feel that weight on your chest on a simple Sunday.

It might be something related to your work, bothering you in background. You should be very careful with those things but also to the relationships you have at work. You might be feeling like someone has been stabbing you behind your back.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a great time to keep a close focus on your loved ones, especially on your relationship. So dedicate the day to spending a quiet afternoon in the company of your partner.

Single natives will be feeling especially melancholic and discontent this day as their rarely appearing but realistic need of companionship and support kicks in for some time.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are going to have the occasion to contribute to a good cause this day but you are also going to have to strengthen your budget a bit.

Things are running smoothly at home in terms of relationships but in terms of money you should think of putting some more aside and start saving or investing wisely. The family is getting bigger and more responsibilities are appearing.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is going to be quite a tense day as you might be confronted in respect of some choices you’ve made some time ago.

Maybe something from the past is surfacing right now and ready to bite you. Any kind of situation will need raised awareness from your side and you shouldn’t even think of resorting to lies to get out of it. Truth is going to be the only option.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You should be real careful to whom you are entrusting your thoughts today as some people around you might not be carrying the best intentions for you.

If there are things bothering you, then discuss them openly but refrain from making any personal remarks. Despite this being Sunday you should keep a professional and diplomatic appearance at all times.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are going to get the time to relax and you are going to feel like your worries have come to an end. Enjoy this time as it won’t last longer, especially for those natives with big families of their own.

Responsibilities will be flooding you and there will be little time for yourself. So enjoy this unexpected peace as longs as it lasts.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is going to seem quite a boring and uneventful day at the beginning but it will soon transform into an unexpected string of events.

You might be receiving company from abroad or a sign from a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while. Don’t avoid dealing with people you’ve met in the past because you are doing just fine nowadays and you should be presenting yourself with full confidence.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are going to greet this day full of enthusiasm and this is how you should be remaining throughout it. There won’t be any important events troubling you so it seems that you will get the occasion to find your own ways to spoil the quietness.

You are probably not going to get to a complete grip with the fact that everything is so quiet and relaxed and you will probably scream from boredom.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are going to benefit from a great eloquence today and you will be able to be very convincing this day.

Unfortunately this is only Sunday so you won’t get the chance to use you abilities at work. Why not think of ways to convince those around you of some ideas they’ve neglected or completely disagreed upon in the past.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will probably be occupied with home activities today and you won’t feel for a second how time flies. This is a great time to sit and have an honest talk with your family and tackle financial issues.

Maybe it’s time for everybody to start saving and you should all think of ways to stop spending so much or at least stop buying things that you don’t get to use in time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are still making realistic plans and searching for ways to bring your ideas to completion. However it might not be the best time for all endeavors so you should refrain from taking any personal decisions or from opening sensible topics with close ones.

You are going to be remarked by other people through your professional work later this week.

Goddesses and Gods – Greek Olympians – Goddess Artemis and God Aristaeus

Greek Olympian – Artemis – Goddess of Hunting

ARTEMIS FACTS
Name(s): Artemis, Aeginaea, Aetole, Agrotera, Kourotrophos, Locheia, Cynthia, Amarynthia, Phoebe, Alphaea, Alpheaea, Alpheiusa
Rules over: the Hunt, Forests and Hills, the Moon, Archery
Gender: Female
Symbols: Bow, Arrows, Stags, Hunting dog and moon
Sacred animals: Deer
Parents: Zeus and Leto
Siblings: Ares, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Dionysus, Hebe, Hermes, Heracles, Helen of Troy, Hephaestus, Perseus, Minos, the Muses, the Graces
Roman name: Diana

Greek mythology is filled with respected gods and goddesses that continue to inspire. Artemis is known as the goddess of the hunt and is one of the most respected of all the ancient Greek deities. It is thought that her name, and even the goddess herself, may even be pre-Greek. She was the daughter of ZEUS, king of the gods, and the TITANESS LETO and she has a twin brother, the god APOLLO.

Not only was Artemis the goddess of the hunt, she was also known as the goddess of wild animals, wilderness, childbirth and virginity. Also, she was protector of young children and was know to bring and relieve disease in women. In literature and art she was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrow. She was the goddess of many things, but most remember her as the most recognizable of the hunting deities.

Artemis was a virgin and drew the attention and interest of many gods and men. However, it was only her hunting companion, Orion, that won her heart. It is believed that Orion was accidentally killed either by Artemis herself or by GAIA, the primordial goddess of the earth.

In one version of the stories of ADONIS – who was a late addition to Greek mythology during the Hellenistic period – Artemis sent a wild boar to kill Adonis after he continued to boast that he was a far greater hunter than her.

The Origins of Artemis

Artemis’s origin story is a tumultuous one. She is the DAUGHTER OF ZEUS and Leto. Zeus is the well-known King of gods and the leader of MOUNT OLYMPUS. Despite the many stories of his greatness, Zeus’ weakness was infidelity to his wife, Hera.

Zeus impregnated a Titan called Leto. Hera became angry upon learning of Zeus’ unfaithfulness. In retaliation, she forbade Leto from giving birth on land. Eventually, she found solace on the floating island of Delos. There, she gave birth to Artemis and Apollo.

According to the Homeric Hymn to Artemis, the twins were born on Ortygia. Either way, most of the accounts say that Artemis came first. As a result, she was a fierce protector and nurturer of Apollo.

Not much is known about Artemis’ childhood. Some scholars say that she spent her time participating in archery, perhaps leading to her excellence in hunting.

Artemis Depictions

Artemis was the subject of many works of art throughout Ancient Greece and beyond. Usually, she was shown as a young and beautiful woman carrying a bow and arrow. Typically, she wore a knee-length tunic and was accompanied by various animals.

She was shown alongside various other SYMBOLS when talked about as the goddess of the moon or fertility. For example, she often wore a crescent moon crown or stood by women and nymphs.

Greek Olympian – Aristaeus God of Useful Arts, Countryside and Pastoral Places

ARISTAEUS FACTS
Name(s): Aristaeus
Rules over: Animal Husbandry, Bee-Keeping, Fruit Trees, Cheesemaking, Olive-Growing
Title: Minor Patron God of Animal Husbandry, God of Useful Arts
Gender: Male
Symbols: —
Sacred animals: Bees, Sheep
Items: Vine, Olives
Parents: Apollo and Cyrene
Consort: Autonoe
Other significant others: Chiron and the Muses that taught Aristaeus
Children: Actaeon and Macris, Charmos, Kallikarpos
Roman name: Mellona

In Greek mythology, Aristaeus was the god useful arts, such as bee-keeping and cheese-making, olive-growing, herding, and hunting. He was a rustic god, a god of the countryside and pastoral places.

Aristaeus was a minor god in Athens but a prominent god in Boetia, a farming region in central Greece, where he was known as “the pastoral Apollo.” Aristaeus is often pictured on Boetian pottery as a young man with wings.

Aristaeus also appears prominently in the mythology of Macedonia, Arcadia, Sicily, Sardinia, Thessaly, and Ceos. Later, stories about his travel emerged in order to account for his prominence in all these different regions.

Over time, Aristaeus became a popular Greek name, given to many famous public figures in ancient Greek politics and society.

 

Aristaeus’s Birth and Training

Aristaeus was the son of APOLLO and Cyrene. Apollo seduced Cyrene by promising she would be the founding mother of a great city raised in her name if she would go to Libya with him. After Aristaeus was born, he was taken by HERMES and raised on nectar and ambrosia. The Earth GODDESS GAIA then made him immortal.

Various GODS AND GODDESSES taught Aristaeus the rustic arts. Apollo taught him the art of healing with herbs. The goddess DEMETER taught him how to hunt and how to skin the animals he caught and tan leather. The god DIONYSUS taught him to make beer and wine. The great Earth mother Demeter taught him the arts of herding and agriculture.

From the Myrtle-Nymphs Aristaeous learning to make olive oil, keep bees for honey, and to make butter and cheese.

When Aristaeus became a man he sailed to Boetia and was schooled in deeper mysteries by the Centaur CHIRON. He married Autonoe, a daughter of Cadmus, founder of THEBES. They had a son named Acteon, who was also trained in hunting and other mysteries by the cave-dwelling Chiron.

 

Aristaeus, Ceos, and the Dog-Star Sirius

According to one myth, the Delphic Oracle advised Aristaeus to visit Ceos, where he would be greatly honored by the local people. When he arrived he found them falling ill due to the early morning rising of Sirius, the Dog-Star. Aristaeus put together a healing ritual that involved a sacrifice to Sirius at its first appearance, thereby cooling the weather and healing the sick populace.

Aristaeus also found that Ceos was overrun by murderers. He found them and had them executed, making Ceos safe once again.

Happy Birthday July Witches! and a another topic

HAPPY BIRTHDAY from WOTC!!

May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to along with a little left for fun than the past year! Plus a lot of positive energy in everything you do!

To keep from flooding your inbox with first of the month posts I will be doing some today and the rest tomorrow.

July 1, 2023 Moon’s Current Phase, Northern and Southern Hemisphere Planetary Positions

Moon’s Current Phase

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.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Visit the June 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on July 1 has an illumination of 95%. 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 July 1 the Moon is 12.55 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.

The 8 Lunar 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.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Family discussions will go very well today, especially discussions about home repairs and DIY projects. This is also an excellent day for a gathering of any kind of family members or friends where you live. Stock the fridge and invite the gang over!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a winning day for you, primarily because you’re in such a positive frame of mind. You believe in yourself. You believe in your abilities. You believe that you have a positive future. That’s all it takes. Attitude is everything – and you know this.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Sun and Mercury are both in your sign dancing with lucky, moneybags Jupiter, which makes you feel positive, adventurous and courageous. Oh yes, you’re willing to push the sides of the envelope! It’s a great day to schmooze with friends and groups.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

With both Venus and Mars in your sign now, you are charming, diplomatic and yet, proactive! Today your dealings with others will be successful because you are quietly pleased and confident. In fact, it is this inner confidence that gives you a lovely sense of self poise. Go after what you want.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a wonderful day to schmooze! Interactions with groups, clubs and organizations, particularly with younger people will be successful. This is also an excellent day to think about future goals, and your hopes and dreams for down the road. Share your ideas with someone to get their feedback.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Discussions with parents, bosses and the police (anyone in authority) will go well today because everyone is in a positive frame of mind. Not only that, they feel generous of spirit. It’s a perfect day to do fundraising. It’s also a good day to settle disputes about how to divide something

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

If you make travel plans today, they will be adventurous and ambitious! This is also an excellent day for legal matters and anything to do with medicine, higher education and the media. You will enjoy studying and learning. Some of you will be happy and over the moon about a pet.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a great day for financial discussions about shared property, inheritances, insurance disputes or anything regarding the wealth or responsibilities of someone else. People will be reasonable and mutually generous in these discussions, which will ensure a happy outcome.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Make a point to hang out with members of the general public today. You will also enjoy time with partners and close friends because people are upbeat and enthusiastic. Discussions about sports, the care of children, and anything to do with the entertainment world will be exciting.

Click here for today’s or anyone’s birthday horoscope from thehoroscope.co

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your usual recklessness and avoidance of all medical concerns will take a turn and now you’ll become one of the most careful advocates of healthy life.

But don’t worry, this is going to last just as much as the weekend. It’s a good time to start a healthy diet and to eliminate some excesses in your life, just make sure you stick to your choices longer.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are going to be all focused and ambitious towards your goals this weekend. On one hand this is a beneficial mood for you to be in, on the other hand you might jump in the other extreme and turn it all in some sort of obsession.

As long as you pay attention to keep a straight line and not exaggerate with your convictions, everything will be just fine.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Things seem to be going in the direction you want them to so there will be little things for you to really worry about.

It seems that real concerns will haunt you only in your dreams so don’t expect to have an easy sleep tonight. There might be things troubling you or things that you feel responsible for. The single natives have a chance of meeting someone new.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Despite this being Saturday it seems you’ve kept your work week desire and you are set to deal with some tasks that were scheduled for next week.

If you can work from home, then you should give it a try, otherwise there might not be a great idea to commute today. You should also be careful not to neglect your partner or your family because they will get irritated by your choices quickly.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you are set to have some fun and you are quite eager to find ways to entertain yourself. For some natives, just the company of their children will keep them busy and filled with enough adrenaline.

Younger and less responsible natives will search for adrenaline pumping activities to get rid of all that bottled up energy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are somewhat driven by today’s events to strengthen your beliefs and faith. It might not be something strongly connected to your spiritual life but it is definitely something that has to do with your life principles.

Maybe someone close is stepping on them or maybe you feel you are not respecting them so closely anymore.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are going to be surrounded by plenty of mental energy this weekend and you should definitely be using it to get to the bottom of things and solve some personal issues.

Keep things separately to avoid burdening your personal life with professional issues or otherwise but try to deal with all of them at the same time to be more efficient.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Things are going to be slowed down a bit, this means that both personal and general endeavors will be delayed and minor complications might appear.

Remember that these things are only temporary and that soon things will come back to their usual speed. Focus on strengthening your beliefs and preparing back up plans during this slow period.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

ou are going to feel somewhat reborn today as you will feel the energy flowing in yourself. The only downside is that you might not use it in the right directions.

So instead of focusing on work and on such things you should be spending your energy with your family. Natives with children are double challenged to spend time with the little ones.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are going to feel somewhat slowed down this day by certain events or simply by your low levels of energy.

You shouldn’t be worrying that much in any of those cases as you should be using this opportunity to take a break and recharge yourself. Spend time doing something that relaxes you or spend the afternoon in a great company.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will probably notice that you are feeling physically tired but incredibly active, mentally speaking. It’s some sort of reverse activity of your body that you have to lead to balance.

You should use your newly acquired heightened senses but in the same time tend to activities that let you take a physical rest. You could use the help of friends too.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are maintaining the great motivation you’ve had the other day so this means you are probably going to continue with the work you’ve already started.

If you haven’t done anything important yesterday, maybe it’s time to get bold and take matters in your own hands. Stop expecting for change to come upon you, bring it yourself.

In my house as a child the only time I got to eat a meal while sitting in front of the television was my breakfast on Saturday morning as long as my mom did not consider it messy. So, I think I ate cereal or toast with peanut butter on it every Saturday for most of my young childhood. After my dad crossed in 1970 I did not watch cartoons as much on Saturday mornings because whether he was at home or work, he drove an ambulance for what is now a large company in Illinois, providing he was not out on a call. I remember these times as some of the best in my childhood!

Who remembers the name of these cartoon characters below from Saturday morning cartoons? Please only put the charter’s initials so you do not give their names away to others. 

This cartoon was mine and my dad’s all-time favorites!

I watch reruns of both of these and other cartoons from my childhood any time I can. I will try to find pictures of the characters for coloring.

Let’s really let our inner child out to play and have some non-grown-up fun this weekend!

Prize for the right answers for both pictures wins a 5 card Animal Spirit Guide or Helper reading FREE! This reading is for the 5 elements, Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit, that are inside all of us. All entries must be in the comment section below. REMEBER INTIALS ONLY OF THE NAMES. Anyone putting the full name of the characters will be disqualified from the contest and your comment removed. If I like your comment and say “email me” in a reply to your comment, it means you win a reading. Please put 3 dates and times that would work for you on or after Saturday, July 8, 2023 for your free reading, and I will pick the one that fits into my schedule the best.

Contest ends on Tuesday, July 4, 2023, and the post will be removed around 8:00 PM CDT on this date. Your reading can be scheduled starting on Saturday, July 8, 2023.

Good luck and have some fun!

June 30, 2023 Moon’s Current Phase, Northern and Southern Hemisphere’s Planetary Positions

(Trying out a new combination post. Please let me know if you like it or not. Thank you!)

Moon’s Current Phase

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.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Visit the June 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on June 30 has an illumination of 88%. 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 June 30 the Moon is 11.47 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.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Make friends with your bank account today because something unexpected could impact your finances. Double check details regarding taxes, debt, inheritances and anything you own jointly with others. Someone might back out of an agreement?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Someone close to you might throw you a curveball today; or a partner or close friend might want to change the arrangement in your relationship? Whatever happens, you will be surprised by someone today. They might be rebellious or perhaps it’s you?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your work routine will be interrupted today. Staff shortages, power outages, late deliveries, mixed-up communications or people you know might rebel or start a little coup? Likewise, something unpredicted related to your pet could occur – or even your health.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Parents should be vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Know where they are at all times. Be particularly vigilant with toddlers and keep them away from hazardous situations. Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change. They might be cancelled or you might receive an invitation?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone you least expect might knock at your door. Because you don’t know what will happen – get dressed. It might be smart to have some food and drink on hand.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. This means you have to be mindful. Slow down and know what you’re doing. Make sure you don’t do anything or say anything that you will later regret.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unexpected could impact them. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Guard against impulse purchases that you might later regret. Keep your receipts (and the box).

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might feel rebellious today because the Moon is in your sign at odds with wild, wacky Uranus. This makes you feel energized and ready for anything. You want some excitement! You might stir the pot in a relationship just to see what happens. (Be kind.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you feel restless. You don’t know why but you have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. You might hear some news that puts you on edge. You might also disagree with someone (just to be contrary.) Really?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Very likely, a friend will surprise you today by doing or saying something you least expect. Or possibly, you will meet someone who is a real character – someone bohemian or avantgarde. Or you might be surprised by the mandate of a group to which you belong. “Let’s all wear suspenders.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Tread carefully because a boss, parent or someone in a position of authority might surprise you or catch you off guard today. (“Busted!”) You might be unhappy about some news that you hear. Whatever happens, might also make you feel rebellious.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Travel plans are likely to change today. They will either be cancelled, delayed or in turn, you might have to travel even if you did not plan on doing so. Some of you might also be shocked by something in the media or in the news. You might also take your own personal stand on something related to politics, religion or racial issues. (People are defiant today.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress, singer Camilla Mendes (1994) shares your birthday today. You are sensitive and intuitive, which is why you have such a good read on people. You grasp their situation. This year is about service to others, especially to your family. Therefore, take care of yourself so you can help and support others. (Time for a makeover?) Focus on personalizing your home.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

t seems that today you will be fighting off some contradictory feelings. On one hand there is this need of yours to feel wanted and looked up to and on the other hand you’d like not to have everyone’s eyes on you so you can enjoy your privacy.

Keep your huge ego bottled and not try to look other than what you really are.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you will be more interested in work than you’ve been for the whole week. It seems that you are going to invest all your energy and attention in your tasks.

Your ambition will probably be noticed so there is a great chance for you to be given a more important project or to receive some sort of raise. It is also a good time to learn a new skill.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you are going to prove just once more how incredibly eloquent you are and how convincing you can be when you really believe in something.

The current disposition will offer you the occasion to speak your mind and to advocate for your ideas. The only word of caution for you is to be patient and not lose your temper if met with skepticism.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you are going to act all inquisitive and spiritual and to try to find answers to all kind of life dilemmas you’ve gathered in time.

It is great for you to leave all frolics behind and see to what your mind has to bring up front. There might be the case of you reconsidering some sort of commitment and whether it deserves to be kept or not anymore.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you will be all charismatic and quick to react. It is a great time to offer support to those around you and you are even strongly advised not to step away whenever someone is asking you for help.

There is a general tendency to look things straight but also to take advantage of personal charm in order to deal with personal issues.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you will be strongly benefited in terms of asking questions and getting answers. This doesn’t exactly mean that you will be getting the answers you expect but it does mean that it will be easier for you to get to the bottom of things.

Maintain a sober and analytical appearance and you will see that people will start talking to you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today will be marked by discretion for you and there will be some things you will prefer to keep quiet about.

It is important for you to maintain your privacy and to discuss only with people you know you can trust but this doesn’t really mean that you will have to deal only with secrets and hidden issues. You might also start being interested in a new person.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you might be somewhat forced by the way events unravel, to rely more on your friends than on your own family.

This means that you will ask for moral support from someone close and prefer to open up to them rather than take the safe way of talking with your family. No matter what is the origin of what is troubling you, be sure you will receive well meant advice.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The current disposition is set to bring important change in your life, things are starting to unravel and it’s your time to see what is going on in your life.

Take a good look at what you are now standing for and start envisioning what you want to change. You might be forced to make some transformations you are not really ok with but in the end it will all be worth it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will be able to take some time off today and spend it at your own discretion. You will probably be inclined to use it all on dreaming with your eyes open.

This might not be the worst idea as such activity could help you clear your mind and find new meanings for yourself or for those around you. It is also a good time to think of what you will be doing during the weekend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will benefit today from a great deal of energy ready for you to use it. It would be best to center it on doing something with a group or even initiate a group activity.

This is a great time for humanitarian activities so think of those in need and see what kinds of resources you have that could help those people. Pursue a goal in which you believe most.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you are mainly focused on your goals so you might seem out of reach and quite selfish for those people that are trying to get a hold of yourself.

It might not be something too important but you should however make sure not to leave the wrong impression. Otherwise, it is a good time to focus your energy on pursuing a goal you really believe in.

Hello Our WOnderful WOTC Family and Friends! What is On Your Mind Today?

We have this in abundance in our home. I feel very lucky and blessed to have a man that loves me unconditionally and fur kids that do to! I feel the same about all of them.

What is your take on this quote?

This morning I did something hard, I opened the metal box my former familiar’s ashes came in, in 2007 to remove the last of his hair to be put into a clear container. I had just done the same with Dreamer’s hair and nail clippings so I am a little melancholy as I type this. My Boots was gotten as a family dog in August 1992 but it was apparent from the first day I met him he and I had a special bond. He crossed the rainbow bridge in November 2007 after having multiple grand and petti mal seizures over a six hour period. Was the decision super hard to assist him into eternal sleep? Hell, yes it was. At the time I was going to school to earn my veterinary assistant certification and as luck or a deity had decided I had just finished the lessons about seizures, so at least I knew what was happening and could make sure he was safe while in one. They started about 5:00 AM and did not stop until his assisted crossing of the bridge was done.

As the human who is in charge of keeping a furry family member fed, plenty of water, going out for bathroom breaks and exercise or keeping a litter box clean it can be a very hard task when it comes time to decide if our furry family members quality of life has gone down hill enough, not as the furry’s mom or dad but looking at it from a clinical distances (I know easier said than done), to assist them into their eternal sleep or not. I had to stand back and look at things through the eyes and brain of an animal medical person and tuck my breaking heart away for a little while to make a decision that was best for them. Yes, with Boots I could have spent a lot of money with a vet specialist and anti-seizure medications but after the third grand mal seizure, there were I think 6 or 8 total, his hearing had gone and he had trouble trying to get up from the floor onto his favorite blanket. He was whimpering as he had always went outside to relive himself that’s what he wanted. So, I picked him up and carried him outside than to my astonishment he got up walked to his favorite bush in the yard and did his things. Immediately afterwards he collapsed on the ground in another grand mal. Now in between the grand mal seizures he was having petit mal ones too. How many? I have no idea as I lost count after about 20. He was about 14 1/2 years old at the time of his crossing, he had come to live with myself, my mom, and children when he was 5 1/2 weeks old.

Boots was loved, well cared for, and played with all his physical life just as Dreamer was. Now I know they are together playing with Dreamer’s mom Gyspy and Dreamer’s pups that went before her. They both come often to visit. I feel Boots talked Dreamer into visiting us so soon after she crossed knowing how much his visits have helped me over the years since his crossing.

The main reason for this post is while we may not want to give up a furry family member when they are old and in pain or even young but injured badly we have to take what they need to be comfortable and have a good quality of life. If the way they have lived their life has been really compromised we need to do the right thing for them and let them go to cross to the other side of the veil. If you tell them or better yet ask them to come visit you after they have crossed the bridge I know for a fact that 9 out of 10 times they will do just that! Humans who have crossed come it they feel like it, if they don’t try another day.
