Stars, Dust, and Gas Near Antares

Image Credit & Copyright: Mario Cogo (Galax Lux)

Explanation: Why is the sky near Antares and Rho Ophiuchi so dusty yet colorful? The colors result from a mixture of objects and processes. Fine dust — illuminated from the front by starlight — produces blue reflection nebulae. Gaseous clouds whose atoms are excited by ultraviolet starlight produce reddish emission nebulae. Backlit dust clouds block starlight and so appear dark. Antares, a red supergiant and one of the brighter stars in the night sky, lights up the yellow-red clouds on the lower right of the featured image. The Rho Ophiuchi star system lies at the center of the blue reflection nebula on the top left. The distant globular cluster of stars M4 is visible above and to the right of Antares. These star clouds are even more colorful than humans can see, emitting light across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Flashback 2000 Imbolc

Daylight hours are gradually lengthening, and the Earth is beginning to stir. Although she is still in the middle of her winter’s rest, our planet subtly begins to plan. It’s appropriate that this period is represented by Aquarius, an air sign, since all change begins first in the mind. Every new thought or idea is full of raw potential as the Earth is now,nailing for the touch of fire to ignite her new growth period. Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius, and the planet best known for its jurisdiction over the future. This electric energy only looks forward, never back. It is during Imbolc, in fact, as the Sun is passing through Aquarius, that many ideas are born. As we prepare for the upcoming Equinox, then, it’s important to be sure that we’re looking ahead, as Uranus does, with all the electric enthusiasm and genius of Aquarius. Honor the potential of the coming spring by uncovering your gift of prophecy. Whether you use a crystal ball, a dream journal, or another type of predictive tool, prepare for the Equinox in your heart, by understanding how much is possible now.

Flashback 2000 Lammas

At Lammas, the Sun is at the very peak of Leo, the sign this planet loves above all others. Our star’s warmth is at its most powerful now in the Northern Hemisphere, as it appears directly overhead. At this time, life too, ia at its peak—as are the crops. The ancients celebrated this festival by giving thanks for their first harvest, most especially the grain harvest, even as they accepted the beginning of the God’s descent into the underworld. The myth of the asteroid-Goddess Ceres (Demeter), giver of the grain, also relates to this season. It was now when she would bid her daughter Farwell, since Persephone was obligated to return to the Underworld to rejoin Hades (Pluto). So bereaved was Ceres to see her daughter leave her, she refused to all the Earth to produce grain until her return. At this time,nothing, modern practitioners should be remind of both astrological principles: the fullness of life the Sun brings, and the necessity for rest, as signified by the coming fall.

Printable Full Moon Affirmation

Thank you for everything.

All my needs are met in all areas of my life.

I have all that I need while walking towards what I desire to have in my life.

I release thoughts, worries, fears, attachments, relationships, situations, and all that doesn’t serve my Higher Purpose or Higher Self.

And so it is.

 

A Thought for Today

Blessed be dear Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests.

Salute to Aningan – the Inuit God of the Moon

The northern sky is broad and flawless black, 

A vast expanse from which most look away,

But Aningan the Moon is on the track

Of caribou and seals, and will not stray.

His barking dogs work hard to pull his sleigh,

Weighted down with fur, and ivory tusks, and meat.

Watch over us, Brave Moon. We pass your way.

And come as brother hunters, on hushed feet.

We ask for your forbearance as we meet

The challenges laid out along the trail.

We brave the winter’s cold, the summer’s heat,

But know that with your wisdom, none shall fail.

Though harsh the path, your patience will not pall;

You serve as an example to us all

Wolf Moon January Tarot Spread Find Pack
Finding Your Pack – Tarot for the Wolf Moon

🐺

Begin by placing a small token in the middle of where you will lay your cards (marked by the pawprint 🐾 on the picture of the tarot spread above).

This token will serve as a taglock to you– it could be a piece of jewelry you wear, a lock of your hair, a picture of yourself, etc. Choose something that you feel represents yourself!

When you are ready, shuffle and draw your tarot cards. Lay the cards in the order depicted in the tarot spread picture above.

——————————————————————————-

1. 🌕The moon rises– who am I looking for?

The card you draw in this spot is symbolic of who you are seeking. The card may reveal a trait or characteristic of the person or group or are looking for.

2. 🐺The hunt begins– how can I find them?

This card will advise you on what you need to do in order to locate what you are seeking. Keep an open mind here– the card may suggest something you have not thought of before.

3. 🐇 Catching your prey– how will I know it’s right?

This card will reveal a sign or symbol to look for to know that you’re on the right trail. It may represent something tangible or it could hint at an emotion you’ll feel when you’re with the right group or person.

4. 🎉Victory howl– when will I meet my pack?

This card points to when you can expect to meet your pack, should the current path you are on play out as expected. Time and dates can be tricky to read in tarot, so look for seasonal symbols or numbers and rely on your intuition to help you interpret.

 A SPELL TO HELP LIFT HARD FEELINGS AND HEAL EMOTIONAL RIFTS

Item needed: 1 Quartz crystal
Find a nice quiet place where you can lay down, place the quartz crystal on you third eye and say:
“I call upon Gula, great goddess of Healing,
Guide the help to direct any bad feelings,
See this dark specters reeling.
By the grace of your power I ask you to heal them.
Teach each to feel what the other feels,
By the power of three, I wish it to be.”
If you focus on one person the spell will affect that person a little better than just doing in general.

A Gorgeous Ritual for Tonight’s Magic

  1. Light any of the following scents/incenses: Clove, Eucalyptus, Lilac, Musk seed, Nutmeg, Sage, Sandalwood. These herbs and oils help activate the psychic nature of tonight’s Moon in Pisces.
  2. Invoke the open-minded energy of the Fish with this chant:
    “Like the stars above, I’m in a constant and fluid movement.
    I explore and develop my spirituality like a smart and diligent student”.
  3. Take a piece of paper. Write in clear letters your deepest wish. Don’t overthink. Instead, just start writing. Visualize your idea of a perfect future and write it down in the present tense. The First Quarter Moon is a time of abundance and growth, so think BIG! Be clear and precise, whether it’s a love request, a money target, or just a dream to work towards.
  4. Light a white candle on your altar. Place it next to your petition and leave it there.
  5. Next to your candle, place a Black Tourmaline, Sapphire, or Amethyst. These crystals are great for Saturdays, they will absorb the energy of tonight’s moon and release it gently during the next few days.
  6. Meditate for a while. Then take the paper and paste it in your diary, Book of Mirrors, or (optionally) hide it in a secret place.

Tarot Cards Vs. Playing Cards

1. Fortune Telling Tools of Tarot cards and Playing cards

Playing cards use the deck of 52 cards. Although it is known as the Western deck of cards, and currently there is no document proving the origin of this deck, it is assumed that card playing began in China at an early date before they eventually arrived in the West. Later on, Western fortune-telling became one of the Eastern divination categories, considered superstitious.
Tarot reading uses the deck of 78 cards. Tarot cards are from Europe, originally used for entertainment. Then, the occult associations in England and France have discovered the symbols on the card and used it for the interpretation of fate and prophecy. In the West, Tarot reading is very popular, professional and recognized.

ANGEL NUMBERS

(I will start including an Angel number in the Daily Divination Journal. It is for general knowledge only as your Angel number may be different than the one I post.)

Do you see repeating number sequences several times during the day? They are angel numbers and you can see them everywhere. 1:31 on your watch, 131$ payment for shopping, duration of your phone call, licence plate on the car and so on.

Possibilities to see angel numbers in your life are endless. If you keep your eyes open, you will notice them. They repeat daily, sometimes you can see the same number even for weeks! It can mean a lot and you can use these messages for your advantage. On this page you will find true meaning to each one of them.

These messages are from your guardian angel or Higher Powers standing by your side to guide you through specific phase of life. These powers from above can change very often or you can have the same one your entire life. It depends on your thoughts, desires and wishes. Higher Powers tend to have specific sphere of activity. You like sports and you devote all of your daily time to it? Sport related powers will find you and help you archieve your goals. More skilfull and powerfull you become, the closer relation between you and them. Workers will attract other powers and scientists completely different ones. Later in your life, if you decide to focus all of your time and energy to love instead. Sport, work or science specialists will go help elsewhere and you will attract Higher Powers of love instead. It’s that simple.

August 16th Daily Divination

Tarot

Today’s reading comes from The English Magic Tarot by Rex Van Ryn, Steve Dooley, and Andy Letcher ©️ 2016.

General

Page 99

Two of Cups – Romatic love; marriage and all that entails

Description: A young couple toasts one another at their wedding dance. There hands are entwined and they are looking at each other intently.

Interpretation: This is obviously a marriage but is the couple looking at each other with smoldering passion or with contemptuous disdain? It’s either a fabulous match or a complete sham.

If I’ve learned one thing about weddings, it’s that the externals, the trimmings,  don’t matter a jot. If the couple aren’t dancing together as one, then no amount of cakes,  chintz, or confetti will make it work.

Weddings are important, not in a preachy or moralizing way, but in a magical way. The ritual act knits together the couple, their friends, families, and the community.  That’s why, when couples decide to break up,  we all feel shaken. Conversely,  a good wedding renews our vows.

So while the Two of Cups is undoubtedly a wonderful, romantic card that you should beb delighted to receive in a reading, it is also a reminder to consider carefully the ritual of marriage and all that it entails. Marriage is hard at the best of times and deserves a good start. If you choose to do it, you might as well do it right.

Reading: The card signifies the culmination of romantic love,  perhaps even a wedding.

Rune

From The Rune Site

Logr

Sound: “l”
Stands for: Power of water
Casting meaning: Unlike other “water runes” this rune concentrates on the power of water – waterfalls, ocean wave, flowing rivers. It is a purification or washing away of unwanted or unneeded thing, a way to cleanse oneself.

Witch’s Rune

Star: guidance, a light in the darkness, wishes, gifts, other worlds, astrology

When you look up at the stars, how do you feel? Incorporate that into your readings when the star witches’ rune shows up. The star is indeed a gift and grants wishes to some. It may be a guiding light to others lost in the darkness.

Animal Spirit Guide and Helper

From Spirit Animal

Bat

The Bat arriving in your life signifies an omen of change. He asks that you pay attention to signs around you. The transition may seem frightening at first, but you must let go of your old habits and patterns that no longer serve your higher calling. They will only hinder your growth.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you feel empowered dealing with shared property, and anything you own jointly with someone else. You see a way to improve the arrangement. You might also feel rewarded and gratified to be able to be generous to someone.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a great day to socialize with someone who is close to you. Even a casual conversation might have a deep imprint or effect on you. (It’s amazing how we can all affect each other and yet, we often don’t know this.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This can be a productive day because you will see ways to be efficient, and also better ways of doing things. Of course, there is no end to better. Enjoy meeting groups or individuals from different cultures and different backgrounds.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a fun-loving, playful day! You might be deeply moved by the creative artifacts of others, especially different cultures. Interaction with children will be meaningful. Romantic relationships will be joyful and yet, also deeply moving.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Enjoy family get-togethers today. In fact, a family discussion might be surprisingly deep and profound; however, it will be meaningful and impacting. You might entertain at home or have a group meeting of sorts at your home. Whatever you do today will expand your world.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Casual encounters with siblings, relatives and neighbours will actually have a deeper meaning for you today. This might surprise you. Or perhaps, something that you say will have a deeper meaning for them? Either way, your interactions with others today will be important – and joyful.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you might see new uses or applications for something that you already own. (Could that old Volkswagen be a floor lamp?) Be open to the ideas that occur to you. Likewise, some of you might even see new ways of earning money. Basically, this is a good day for business and commerce.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the Moon is still in your sign dancing with your ruler Pluto as well as lucky Jupiter. Pluto will deepen, in a profound way, any emotions that you have today. It will also help you see the subtext of things. Meanwhile, Jupiter will lift your spirits and inspire you!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you might choose to be low-key and withdraw from the busyness of the world around you. You need to rest and take a break from it all. You might do some serious, deep self-scrutiny; however, you will also feel uplifted and inspired by something.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might discover some secrets about a friend or a group today because this is a kind of day where things are revealed. People can see beneath the surface of things. In another way, you will feel elated and happy to deal with groups. You might learn something new?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might confront someone in authority today and have an emotional power struggle with them, especially if you think they are trying to manipulate you. Fortunately, this will be brief. Basically, you will use your own positive frame of mind to feel good about dealing with the world.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Do not let others coerce you in your way of thinking today because you have the right to your own opinions and beliefs. Instead, be open to learning and exposing yourself to all ways of looking at the world. Plato said, “Knowledge is the function of being.”
