Moon Alert

Caution! After 11:30 AM EDT today (8:30 AM PDT) avoid shopping (except for food and gas) and major decisions for the rest of the day. The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be careful with money and shopping today because you’re not in a practical frame of mind. Au contraire! You might spend money extravagantly or buy strange exotic things and later, wonder why. Be smart and restrict your shopping to food and gas.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a lovely day for romance and flirtations because you will tend to see the best in people because you’re wearing rose-coloured glasses. Enjoy warm, rewarding times with others; however, don’t volunteer for anything; and don’t give the farm away.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Because your idealism is aroused today, you might want to be generous to those in need. This is a noble thing. However, wait until Tuesday or Wednesday next week before you make your final decision because today is full of fuzzy and wishful thinking.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’ll enjoy interesting conversations with friends and different groups because people want to discuss all kinds of things today. They want to explore the unknown. They want to understand hidden mysteries. If you meet someone exotic who seems to have the answers — tread carefully.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s easy to idealize someone today, perhaps a boss or parent. Keep this in mind if you’re ready to sign on the dotted line and support someone unquestionably. (You could have Vaseline on your lens.) This means you can’t really see the truth of someone, especially someone in authority. Caution.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, you’ll enjoy museums, galleries and an opportunity to see the creations of people who work in arts and crafts. You’ll enjoy stimulating discussions. (It’s okay to have your head in the clouds if you keep your feet on the ground.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Many people feel idealistic today, which makes you want to help others in need, which is a good thing. However, if you’re thinking of a magnanimous, generous gesture – be realistic. You might want to postpone this impulse until next Tuesday to make sure you know what you’re doing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might be impressed with close friends and partners today. Very possibly, they’re impressed with you, as well. It’s a bit of a mutual admiration society, isn’t it? Nevertheless, agree to nothing important because wishful thinking might blind your true vision.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

At work, your visionary powers might create something wonderful. Or you might see excellent solutions. Work-related relationships are also very supportive today, and possibly romantic. Nevertheless, stay grounded and realistic. Postpone important decisions until next Tuesday.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a fabulous day to schmooze! Accept invitations to socialize with others. Enjoy the arts, galleries, museums, sports events and fun activities with friends, especially children. Romance will boggle your mind. You feel like you have the world by the tail. Enjoy this day but avoid practical decisions.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Because your idealism is aroused, you will want to help family members today. This same energy will encourage warm and happy gatherings at home. However, if you’re going to make a financial commitment to someone – wait until next Tuesday to be sure. (For your own best interests.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might spend time today daydreaming or being lost in a fantasy world, especially because you have an amazing imagination. This can be a very creative day for those of you who write and draw or express your creative talents in any way. However, be leery of discussions, especially promises from others because fuzzy, idealistic thinking is rampant.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Polly Walker (1966) shares your birthday today. You have magnetic, persuasive communication skills. You also have clear ideas of what is fair and just. This year is full of exciting changes. It will likely bring you increased personal freedom. Seek out new opportunities and be ready to act fast. Trust your intuition.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You aren’t going to take criticism easily today and neither anyone else should expect that from you.

A boastful emotional display and a lot of sensible arguments, yes, this is you and it seems that this Sunday, the world is you play field and you are somewhat allowed to be as dramatic as you want and to defend your choices in front of everyone.

A friendly day ahead of you so if you, by chance, have any plans with your friends today I wouldn’t worry about the outcome of the day.

If the day announces to be boring, some phone call or even your own intervention might eventually change it. It will still be entirely up to you how you decide to handle this situation.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You risk compromising some sort of commercial relationship you have created with someone if you are not considerate enough.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Don’t be afraid of your past but don’t parade it either is the advice for you today.

If there is some situation where you need to disclose certain things from your past, make sure you are aware of what you are disclosing and don’t hide anything or make any alterations because these things will eventually come to surface.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be open to yourself before you are to others, remember? For you this Sunday this kind of translates into you being honest with your self instead of going around spreading made up stories about the things you care about,

in a pitiful trial to make them somewhat become true, even though you are not really feeling those things.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Don’t complicate your relationship even further by introducing any elaborate story, misconception or manipulation in the game.

It might look like a good idea at the moment, an idea to save a dangling situation, but later on, you’ll probably regret it and might have two head aches on your head to try to resolve.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Don’t even think you can leave in your own little cozy box this Sunday and relax because this is not going to happen and period.

Joyful birthday wishes from Lady Carla Beltane with the WOTC Family and Friends!!

May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

Being a Taurus born on May 19th, you tend to be very respectful, have an elegant demeanour and often think of others more than you think of yourself. You are at times stubborn, especially when you feel you can’t go forward with your plans.

Some may say you are materialistic but this is just for your safety and comfort and your life desires go beyond this. Prepare to read a special horoscope profile below.

 The zodiac sign for May 19 is Taurus.

 Astrological symbol: Bull. This is representative for stubborn individuals who are also patient and tactful. It influences people born between April 20 and May 20 when the Sun is in Taurus, the second zodiac sign.

 The Taurus Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, with the brightest star being Aldebaran. It covers an area of 797 square degrees. It lies between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East, covering visible latitudes between +90° and -65°.

 The Spanish call it Tauro while the French use the name Taureau for the May 19 zodiac sign but the real origin of the Bull is in the Latin Taurus.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This suggests excitement and authority but also means that this sign and Taurus can create an opposition aspect at some point, not to mention that opposites attract.

 Modality: Fixed. The modality reveals the volunteering nature of those born on May 19 and their caution and majestic sense in treating life in general.

 Ruling house: The second house. This zodiac placement governs material possession and all resources an individual gathers in time, whether we’re talking about money, friendships or moral principles.

 Ruling body: Venus. This celestial planet reveals experience and determination and also highlights seriousness. Venus is considered the yin side while Mars is the yang side.

 Element: Earth. This is an element that easily combines with the other three and while it lets itself be shaped by water and fire it incorporates air, this being similar to the reactions of those born under the May 19 sign when in relation to the other elements.

 Lucky day: Friday. This is a day ruled by Venus, therefore deals with support and appreciation. It suggests the passionate nature of Taurus natives.

 Lucky numbers: 3, 7, 15, 16, 27.

 Motto: “I own!”

 People born on May 19 are constant and steadfast but also very accommodating and accepting people. Just like a true Taurus, they have a tender and malleable frame of mind and they are usually tranquil, unless of course they are provoked. They enjoy owning as many material holdings as possible and having mates around at all times. They dislike emotions of uncertainty and settings that ask for rapid transformation. Those born under this sign like to spend time in the highest circles of society, surrounded by very potent people.

 Positive traits: These natives have a great deal of generosity and elegancy but they seem to show how kind hearted they truly are to people who are as honorable and conscientious as themselves. Therefore they tend to create some sort of circle of confidence around them and are always open for those who’ve won their respect.

 Negative traits: These natives are self indulgent and lazy at times and their preferred negative leisure time activity is dwelling in past behaviors and getting all frustrated about what they see as chances missed. They are greedy and selfish when they have the chance and sometime they don’t even realize how they prove they have such a narrow vision. They are easily offended and very positive with those dearest to you but this only happens when those people allow them to behave this way.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 19 are passionate and committed. They are rather affectionate and stable rather than adventurous and they prefer to settle for a serious relationship rather than date many people. They are attracted to creative and fun people whom can keep their interest alive and with whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you are all eyes on them but also maintain your individuality and degree of independence. This single native is not making a drama out of his single status but even enjoys time alone and enters a relationship only when is prepared to.

 They believe in love at first sight and don’t need much time to get attached to someone. They are persons of extremes in love and sometimes this attitude will have them prone to disappointment. A passionate lover prone to jealousy fits when madly in love. They offer everything they have to their loved one and ask for the same. They are likely to fall in love at a young age as they are attractive and positive persona. Regarding their family life, they will marry when they are completely ready and they will probably be cool parents if they choose to have a one big family. They are most compatible with those born on 4th, 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, and 31st.

 May 19 Zodiac people seem to be most attracted to the other earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Taurus is in a permanent search for someone to keep them active and interested and the most suitable to offer them this is the native born under Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is said to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: The lucky color for those born under the May 19 is represented by green.

Green suggests the fertility or nature that regenerates each and every time. Green is a safe color that transmits balance and harmony. This zodiac color should be used in objects around the house and accessories.

People having green as sign color are balanced, friendly and down to earth nurturers by choice. Green is favored by lively, generous people that have high moral standards and for whom doing the right thing is most important.

Other colors that suit Taurus natives are pink, yellow and most earth tones.

Representative Birthstone: The magnificent Emerald is the representative Taurus birthstone for those born under the May 19.

Emerald symbolizes rebirth and is in a strong relation with the goddess of life. This zodiac birthstone should be used in pendants, bracelets and other accessories.

This birthstone is beneficial for the heart, lungs, pancreas and eyesight and is also said to be a great immune booster. This stone can be found in Colombia, Brazil and Zambia.

Another gemstone considered influential for Taurus natives is Lapis Lazuli. It suggests honesty and intelligence.

Characteristic Flower: Poppy is the flower of preference for Taurus natives, especially those born under the May 19.

Poppy is a plant that symbolizes refinery and sensibility of the soul. The zodiac flower could be used in gifts and decorative items.

It was considered to symbolize eternal life and remembering of the lost souls. This flower can be enjoyed during late spring for about two weeks.

Other plants indicated for Taurus are Violets and Lilies.

Symbolic Metal: The metal used in astrology for those with May 19 is Copper.

Copper is known to represent a helping and creative nature. This zodiac metal should be used in bracelets and other accessories.

Copper is a metal of currency and prosperity. One of the first materials discovered by mankind, this metal is said to bring prosperity and influence romantic affairs.

Another metal considered influential for Taurus natives is Steel.

Characteristics: May 19 Zodiac belongs to the third decan of TAURUS (May 11-May 20). This decan is influenced by the planet Saturn. Those born under this influence combine the connections and ambitions of Taurus with the financial wisdom of Saturn. This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of Taurus zodiac sign with a great accent on the negative ones.

 Taurus is the seventh zodiac sign in order from most common to least commonly met. It is of feminine symbolism, considered of even number and with a negative polarity.

Natives born during months of spring are said to be less active and less interested in sports.

 Famous people born on May 19 under the Taurus zodiac sign: Ferdinand Magellan, Nora Ephron, Malcom X and Andre the Giant.

If you were born on May 19, you are bursting with passion! No matter what you’re putting your energy toward, you give it all you’ve got. You’re especially interested in fighting for the underdog and making sure that the little guy has strong representation. You’re a bit scrappy, and sometimes get caught up in the drama or theatrics of life. Don’t lose your fire, but remember to pay more attention to yourself and your own needs instead of others. Make sure you’re your number one priority!

May 19 Taurus at Their Best: Energetic, just, balanced

May 19 Taurus at Their Worst: Controlling, disruptive, frustrated

What to Wear: Anything plush, leather or suede — even if it’s hot outside. Due to the foodie tendencies of this birthday honoree, you might also consider an expandable waistband.

What to Eat: Taurus lives for sensual pleasure, so deliver it with several courses of creamy, rich and savory dishes — and don’t forget the wine!

Who to Invite: Taurus might pretend to not care who comes, but unless you invite everybody on this territorial person’s buddy list, you could be in for some sulking.

Where to Go: Pick a venue that at least looks posh. Taurus always likes to experience a nothing but the best kind of birthday.

May 19 birthday horoscope predicts that you take a royal approach to life. You are brilliant and have an independent quality that makes you a great leader. People will thrive under your guidance.

Naturally, those born on this birthday are independently secure in their values. You take your duties responsibly and enjoy being around others. The Taurus birthday individuals born on May 19 are likely to make new friends with ease and perhaps have too many acquaintances.

More often than not, this Taurus chooses a few close relationships to come to in their time of need. These friends know their dreams, hopes and ultimately, their fears.

If today is your birthday, you hold dear certain family members although you enjoy the family reunions. You love being a part of this diverse group of ancestry. But you might have to wait to have children of your own. When this Bull does decide to have children, they will be brought up with morals and a sense of knowing.

The May 19th birthday astrology analysis predicts that you fall in love hard when you do fall. It is so hard for this Taurean to trust people, it makes it difficult to share any feelings, hopes or dreams. Being friends first is paramount to you to make a lasting partnership.

You have your burst of energy but still, need to develop a workout routine to stay fit and tone. Just being full of energy is not enough. This energy should be focussed on the right things.

Typically, these Taurus natives are instinctively competitive. If you like outdoor sports, try establishing a routine of playing your favorite game. Include the people that you love so much and make it enjoyable as well as functional as quality family time. Be careful though Taurus, you are accident-prone.

People born on May 19 exemplify c. These Taureans are very smart and value their independence as being essential to their privacy. Normally, you will maintain a close relationship with few family members although you make friends easily. Not all your friends can be your close friends.

The May 19 birthday analysis shows that you will become parents late in life. As a career, you look for the original job titles. The pay does not have to be a factor on whether you will succeed but rather the kind of work you do will make you ambitious. Once financial stability has been obtained, the May 19 Taurus is generous and shares with their family.

Lion and cat and woman, goddess of war and fertility—the Egyptian goddess Bast (also known as Bastet) contains multitudes. While she’s not the only cat goddess from ancient history, Bastet is probably the most famous cat goddess today. She has a strong presence in pop culture and a select few even still worship her!

In this complete guide to Bastet, we’ll go over exactly what makes this Egyptian cat goddess so compelling. We’ll describe her attributes, how she was depicted in ancient Egypt, her major relationships, how she was worshipped, her major myths, and the history of her worship. We’ll close out with where you might encounter Bast, goddess of cats, today.

Who Is Bastet? What Are Her Attributes?

 

 

The goddess we most frequently call “Bastet” today was known as both “Bast” and “Bastet” in ancient Egypt.

“Bast” was her earlier name. It possibly meant either “Soul of Auset” (Auset being an alternative name for “Isis,” who is sometimes considered her mother), or “devouring lady.”

Later, priests called her “Bastet” to indicate that the “t” in her name should be pronounced. “Bastet” shares one of the same hieroglyphs for the bas jar, which held perfumes and ointments. So “Bastet” also meant “she of the ointment jar.”

Bast was originally a lioness goddess, but as time went on, she was more closely associated with the housecat. The cat was her totem animal.

As one of the main goddesses of the Egyptian pantheon, Bastet had a huge number of attributes and aspects:

  • She was a goddess of cats, the sun, of the East, of fire, of love, intoxication, music and dancing, joy, celebration, fertility, secrets, magic, and sex.
  • However, she was also a goddess of war known for her wrathful vengeance.
  • She protected households and individuals from disease and evil spirits, guarded pregnant women, and protected cats.
  • She served as the divine nurse and mother of the Pharaoh.
  • Due to Bastet meaning “she of the ointment jar” she also became known also as a goddess of perfume, and was called the “perfumed protector.”
  • Bast/Bastet was the protector and guardian of Lower Egypt.
  • She was the patron goddess of fire fighters, because the Egyptians believed that a cat running through a building on fire would draw the flames out.
  • She was also one of the goddesses who was known as the “eye of Ra” or the “eye of Atum,” the sun. In this aspect she symbolized Ra’s feminine counterpart and was sent out to take vengeance on his enemies. The “eye of Ra” was both a part of Ra and a separate being from him, and was considered his mother, sister, wife, and daughter simultaneously. She had life-giving, protective and also destructive capacities.

Bast was first depicted primarily as a lioness, then later as a cat or cat-headed woman. In her aspect as a cat-headed woman she frequently holds a sistrum decorated with cats and Click here to read the rest of this article

Avoid shopping and important decisions from 5 AM to 6:30 AM EDT today (2 AM to 3:30 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is the perfect day to shop for wardrobe items for yourself because you might buy something unusual and perhaps a bit daring. Whatever you buy might make you look younger or more flamboyant or bohemian? This is a wonderful day to reach out to others and meet new interesting people.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might feel restless today. Nevertheless, it’s a wonderful day to meditate or ponder profound ideas because you might have some kind of breakthrough or an epiphany that makes you sit up and see things with new eyes, or view life in a new way. Could be exciting?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you might meet someone unusual who is thrilling, stimulating and interesting. They might be creative or artistic. You might feel very fond of them. For some of you, an unexpected romance will blossom from a friendship or an association with someone in a group.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Something might happen today that makes you look really good to important people – parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs. They will be impressed! Possibly, the reverse will occur and you are suddenly impressed with the talents and achievements of someone you admire. (Great day for mutual appreciation society.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Sudden opportunities to travel might fall in your lap today. If so, act quickly because this window of opportunity will be brief. Likewise, you might have an unexpected chance to get further training, or take courses or learn something that’s exciting. Be open to unusual interactions with others.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Keep your pockets open because gifts, goodies and favours from others can come your way today. This might be something substantial; or it might be quite minor. Perhaps someone will treat you to lunch or buy you coffee? Whatever happens – you will benefit.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Keep an open mind today and stay in a friendly state of mind because you might meet a real character – someone who is unusual, avant-garde or perhaps scientific or very high tech. Whatever the case, this person will intrigue you because they are original and unique.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your health might get a marvellous boost today. Or perhaps you will get a promotion at work or play a better job or have a successful, reassuring conversation with someone important work. Quite likely, a pet will be a source of joy. Perhaps a work-related romance will begin?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Sudden romance might begin today because this is the classic day for love at first sight. However, you might also be pleased with an unexpected invitation or a chance to enjoy the arts or a fun getaway. Children might be a source of joy. Sports might surprise you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Stock the fridge because impromptu gatherings might occur at home today. People might drop by unexpectedly and create a fun time for everyone. Sudden opportunities related to real estate might also materialize. Be alert!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you might see new places, meet new faces and be full of new ideas because this is the kind of day where pleasant, unexpected events will occur. You might take a short trip. You might have a stimulating conversation. Possibly, a neighbour or sibling will surprise you.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Comedian, actress, writer producer Tina Fey (1970) shares your birthday today. You are passionate and care deeply about everything around you. You have a strong sense of justice and will defend the rights of others. It’s time to create solid foundations in your life both externally and internally. Simplicity is the key to this year. Take charge of your health.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Friendly or not today, better think twice?! Although you are longing for a get together it seems that the stars might have other plans for you and to put it briefly, they are to let you long and think of what could be but without moving any fingers in any direction.

You are dreamy and emotional but this doesn’t mean that real life will apply to all your mood swings.

 The zodiac sign for May 18 is Taurus.

 Astrological symbol: Bull. This zodiac symbol is considered to influence those born April 20 – May 20, under the Taurus zodiac sign. It is representative for tact, strength, confidence and abundance.

 The Taurus Constellation lies between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East on an area of 797 sq degrees and has Aldebaran as its brightest star. Its visible latitudes are between +90° to -65°, this being one of the zodiac’s twelve constellations.

 The name Taurus is the Latin name for Bull. In Spanish, Tauro is the name of the sign for May 18 zodiac sign. In French it is used Taureau while in Arabic Al Thaur.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. In astrology, these are the signs placed opposite on the zodiac circle or wheel and in the case of Taurus reflect upon revelation and caution.

 Modality: Fixed. This quality proposes the diligent nature of those born on May 18 and their authority and adventure in taking life as it is.

 Lucky numbers: 6, 8, 15, 17, 26.

 Motto: “I own!”

People born on May 18 are dependable and faithful but they also crave for a lot of security and a sense of stability from those close to them. They are generous and practical and are usually led by the most honest intentions, although things don’t always work the way they want them to. They are to be found in large social gatherings as they feel very comfortable so. They hate when they are forced in any way, especially when others are expecting quick decisions from them.

 Positive traits: These natives possess a lot of elegance and integrity and they seem to show these attitudes in almost everything they do. They are reliable and almost everyone can count on them as long as they show the same respect as they how. They are quick to offer a helping hand and can be extremely affectionate with those dearest to them.

 Negative traits: These natives are self indulgent and inflexible and this sometimes leads to them becoming resentful of the success of others and then diminishing even the last trace of motivation they had regarding that particular situation. They can be easily offended as well and should learn to see past the negative value of criticism. They should also stop being so indecisive because this coupled with their stubbornness makes them extremely difficult to reason with.

 Usually a joyful character, they sometimes find it hard to express their emotions and this can make them appear quite difficult and hard to understand. They need time to develop a real connection. For them, relationships and settling will probably be a complex matter but once they decide to have their own family they will turn out to be very protective and patient. They are most compatible with those born on 3th, 5th, 6th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 21th, 23th, 24th and 31st. May 18 Zodiac people are very attached to the other two earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Taurus is in a constant search for someone attractive and mysterious that can keep their interest alive and the one to offer them this is the native in Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is thought to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Three of Rainbows

The Explanation of Three of Rainbows Osho Zen Tarot

The angelic figure with rainbow-colored wings on this card represents the guide that each of us carries within. As the second figure in the background, we may sometimes be a little reluctant to trust this guide when it comes to us because we have a habit of believing signs from the outside rather than from the inside.

The truth from the very deep self indicates where we should go, and when Three of Rainbows Osho Zen appears, it means you can trust the guidance from the inside you are given. His words are a whisper, and sometimes we hesitate, not knowing if we have the right understanding. But the signs are clear; following the instructions from within you will feel more complete, more integrated as if you move away from a very central place of being. If you go with it, the light beam will bring you exactly where you need to go.

The Energy of Three of Rainbows Osho Zen Tarot Based on Osho’s Teachings

You have to look for guidance because you don’t know your inner guide is hidden inside you. You have to find the inner guide, and that’s what I call your witness. That’s what I call your dharma, that’s what I call your intrinsic buddha. You have to awaken that buddha and your life will shower blessings, benediction.

Your life will become so radiant with good, with godliness, more than you can possibly conceive. It is almost like light. Your room is dark, just bring light in. Even a small candle will do, and the whole darkness disappears. And once you have a candle you know where the door is. You don’t have to think about it: “Where is the door?” Only blind people think about where the door is. People who have eyes and the light is there, they don’t think. Have you ever thought, “Where is the door?”

You simply get up and go out. You never give a single thought to where the door is. You don’t start groping for the door or hitting your head against the wall. You simply see, and there is not even a flicker of thought. You simply go out.

Tree: Witch hazel (Hamamelis spp.)

Letter: X

Sea change” is a term for profound or holistic change. Change is the foundation of existence. The interplay of opposing forces creates and destroys ad infinitum. Mor bookends the concept of change introduced by the first Ogham, Beith. The intention that sowed an action reaped a habit, the habit reaped a character, and the character reaped a destiny. The new track in space has been laid and change is inevitable.

When you draw Mor, look for the changes in and around you. These are not necessarily good or bad. Often, drawing this Ogham can mean something as basic as “oh look, the season of Spring is arriving”. Mor doesn’t have to indicate any kind of drama, although it could. Mor calls out to you to look at overarching influences, new factors or people, and to examine the permutations and possibilities of how they affect the environment.

Mor is a bird’s eye view of opposing forces in our lives rather than being upswept by the random forces that weave in and…

Hexagram 43 – Forty-Three

Kuai / Breakthrough

A Deluge from Heaven:
The Superior Person rains fortune upon those in need, then moves on with no thought of the good he does.

The issue must be raised before an impartial authority.
Be sincere and earnest, despite the danger.
Do not try to force the outcome, but seek support where needed.
Set a clear goal.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Your iron will must come to the forefront now.
It will take great personal determination to resolve the situation in question.
Your adversary would love to force you into an angry display.
That would legitimize his opposition to you.
Such a berserker rage would drag you down to his level.
You must resolutely take a public stand against what he represents, but refuse to engage him.

Without compromise, you show others the way to higher ground.

One

What is the definition of 1 in Numerology?

There’s so much motivation and momentum surrounding this single-digit number. It is a true pioneer, eager to break ground on new endeavors and pave the way for others to follow. It is a natural leader and a proactive force. The number 1 represents newness, movement, and the possibilities that await us. In spiritual symbolism, it is the number of creation and the birth of all things — the divine origin of the universe.

In Numerology the number 1 is the root of opportunity in our lives. It is a symbol of confidence, power, and action. It pushes us to look at our current circumstances and realize that we have the power to turn them into anything we wish. Even if we are afraid, the 1 inspires us to take control of our future and embrace new beginnings.

Strengths of the number 1

Independent: Of all the numbers in Numerology, the 1 is the most self-sufficient, needing nothing but itself and its energy to thrive. It doesn’t sit around waiting for opportunities to come about, it makes its own luck by capitalizing on circumstances others may be afraid to explore. The single-digit number 1 doesn’t want to waste any time getting stuck negotiating or discussing plans. Going it alone allows for greater flexibility and quick, efficient movement.

Goal-oriented: With a positive outlook and unwavering self-determination, this number excels at setting and going after its goals. It has a hard time standing still because it sees a world packed with possibilities just waiting to be taken advantage of. It’s not that the number 1 can’t be satisfied, rather, its satisfaction comes from staying active and always progressing. In a few words: Why stand still when you could advance?

Innovative: Roadblocks don’t exist for the strong-willed 1 — not because they don’t arise, but because this number’s innovative mindset can find new ideas and creative solutions to work around them. Instead of being daunted by obstacles, the 1 looks at them as a challenge that must be (and will be) overcome. Seeing a door where others see a wall is a major asset to the 1’s success.

Weaknesses of the number 1

Forceful: While this number can come across as ambitious, its stop-at-nothing attitude can also make it seem uncaring or domineering as it pushes its way forward. More physical than spiritual, it doesn’t need anyone else’s help and is too focused on its own pursuits to even realize when it’s made an offense. Softer energies of cooperation and patience get shoved aside in the interest of movement and progress.

Risky: The number 1 would call itself fearless, but a lack of foresight can all-too-easily lead it into trouble that could have been avoided. Tunnel vision and an extreme sense of invincibility makes the 1 so focused on the path before it that it can miss the warning signs in its peripheral vision.

Doubtful: With such an extreme drive to accomplish and succeed, self-doubt is this number’s Achilles heel. Though it won’t show it on the outside, the number 1 harbors a deep fear of making mistakes or coming up short of its goal. It takes even minor criticism to heart but will ultimately use it as motivation to improve.

Spell For Friday – Increase Memory and Focus

Increase Memory and Focus

This spell features some of our favorite ingredients for increasing memory and focus! If you find yourself unable to focus with a side effect of a bad memory, like me, this spell will work wonders on you! This memory spell utilizes rosemary, an herb well known for repairing the memory; it’s also great for protecting your confidence, which plays a large role in our ability to recall things!

We’ve incorporated a few different types of crystals, depending on your specific need, and we’ve also brought in some symbolism and numerology to aid in the energy of the work. The number 4 vibrates stability and focus, as does the shape of the square.This spell is best performed on a Sunday or during the hour of the Sun. Keep in mind that you will still need to perform real-world follow-up.

Spell Ingredients

Orange Candle

4 Crystals [Carnelian for analytical focus. Citrine for creative focus. Regular or Orange Calcite for learning new things.]

1.5 tsp. Dried Rosemary

Teacup

Tea ball or tea bag

Crystal Grid or Flower of Life Grid, optional

Boline or an item to carve into your candle

Spell Instructions

Bring your water to a boil. In the meantime, create your sacred space by cleansing with sage, followed by palo santo or sweetgrass. You may also cleanse your candle, crystals, and rosemary with the sage.

Bring all of your ingredients into your sacred space. You may choose to cast a protective circle, if that’s part of your practice.

Hold your hands over the Rosemary and visualize remembering everything. Say “To increase my memory.

Pour the Rosemary leaves into your tea ball. While continuing to visualize your memory working better than you think it will, pour the water over the Rosemary leaves.

Hold your hands over the steaming cup once more. Say “To increase my memory.

Hold your hands over the crystals, and visualize yourself successfully focusing on your work. Say “To increase my focus.

Arrange the crystals in a square around the coffee cup. Imagine the energy of the crystals forming a solid square around and through the cup. This square represents a solid foundation of focus, empowering the tea with the energies of focus.

Hold your hands over the square of crystals and tea. Say “To increase my focus.

Using your carving tool of choice carve “+ Memorae” down one side of the candle. Say “Memorae. To increase my memory.” Again, visualize that your memory is recalling everything it needs to and more!

On the other side, carve “+ Focus”. When you are done, say “Focus. To increase my focus.” Again, visualize that your focus allows you to complete your work perfectly!

Place the candle above your crystals and tea. Hold your hand over the candle and chant “Increase my memory. Increase my focus!” until you feel convinced that the spell is working! You’ll feel your hair stand on end, you may feel slightly faint, or you may notice that you’ve begun chanting very loudly! Say “Increase my memory. Increase my focus” one last time and light the candle.

Visualize all of the energy from chanting is the light of the candle, the spark of the spell. Visualize that energy going down the candle, drawing a straight line to your square grid and into your cup.

Know that the energy of the spell is now in your cup. Drink your Memory and Focus Tea and feel your mind opening, your memory working, and your focus kicking in.

Clean up, say Amen, say So Mote It Be, close your circle, do what you need to do and enjoy the effects of your tea!

You can let the candle burn out or extinguish it and use it for the same spell. You can also use it for a quick memory boost later.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This morning you might find yourself at odds with others, especially about something to do with a possession that you own or perhaps it’s a financial issue. (Isn’t this fun?) Furthermore, health issues or something to do with your job might be depressing. Fortunately, as the day wears on – everything gets better!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Children might be an increased responsibility, especially this morning. This might be (or not) why you have an argument with an authority figure like a parent, teacher or even the police. Someone older might also rain on your parade. Thankfully, the late afternoon and evening are much better!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Family issues are difficult today. Quite obviously, this is not the time to ask for permission or approval from a parent or an older family member. In fact, behind-the-scenes arguments might take place. Ironically, later in the day, everything is smiles and happy. Go figure.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Avoid arguments with others today. Furthermore, don’t let yourself get into a funk by worrying about something too much. “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” Arguments with friends and groups about financial support might arise. All this subsides later. (Whew!)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Money quarrels might arise today. Or perhaps you just feel broke. (The cost of food is astronomical.) Difficulties with parents, bosses and authority figures might also arise. However, believe it or not as the day wears on, this afternoon and this evening are agreeable – even happy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The Moon is in your sign today at odds with stern Saturn, which creates difficulties with your closest relationships. Work-related arguments might also arise. (Bummer.) Nevertheless, once the dust settles later in the day, your afternoon and evening will be quite agreeable. Who knew?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Work might be onerous today. In addition to this, you might also feel worried about finances, taxes, debt and the cost of educating and feeding your kids. Life can be challenging. Fortunately, today is a curious time because as the day wears on, these problems seem to melt away.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Lovers’ quarrels might arise today. Parents might also have difficulty with their kids. In addition, family arguments, especially with partners and spouses, are likely. (This ain’t easy!) Be reassured that as this day wears on, the late afternoon and evening become happier. Saved by the bell!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Dealing with bosses, parents and authority figures might be depressing today. “Talk to the hand.” (No help there.) Avoid work-related arguments or arguments with healthcare workers or anything to do with your pet. Be cool. Everything improves later in the day.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Avoid controversial subjects and talking to others because this might be pressure. Furthermore, romantic arguments or difficulties with kids might also arise today. Yes, challenging! However, as this day wears on, it gets better and better! Courage.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid financial arguments, if possible, today. Postpone these for another day. Meanwhile, be patient with family members, especially this morning because arguments and power struggles might take place. The good news is that later in the day, the sun comes out from behind the clouds and everything is fine! (A welcome surprise.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you might have difficulty talking to friends, partners and spouses. In fact, arguments with other daily contacts are also possible because people are looking for a fight today. Steer clear of this if you can. The good news is that as this day progresses, it gets easier and easier.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Sasha Alexander (1973) shares your birthday today. You have a sharp mind and business moxie. You’re also personally self-disciplined. You are straightforward and to the point. This is a fun-loving year for you! Socialize and enjoy yourself. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit. Old friends might reappear once again.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Certain social or professional issues might arise today and chances are they are highly connected with something you’ve done or said previously and that you might not necessarily remember at the moment.

It will be quite difficult for some natives to understand why they are being looked at the way they are and what they have done to deserve that.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You seem to be quite inclined this Friday to trying to convince others that your ideas are the best route to follow.

It is indeed a breath of fresh air and a change in your old habits of just commanding but at the same time, you can be quite tiresome and frustrating and people will definitely close themselves to any of your try outs.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might want to take a break from all your negative scenarios this Friday and just enjoy the ride.

Of course no one can promise you that everything will run smoothly but it seems that, given your current situation, whether you know what is going to happen or not doesn’t change the fact that is going to happen and the consequences it causes.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The current disposition will probably prompt you to get all creative in love and it seems that the more hopeful you are and the more motivated you are to make your loved one feel special, the easier it will be to find the right scenario for your couple.

At the same time, you might be quite spoiled and not have to worry too much about money.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful in regard to children and matters that involve the little ones today, especially if you are responsible for them, either your own or at work.

Don’t make any decisions that you would otherwise consider risky just at the whim of the moment and ensure that you are fully aware of the decisions and wants of other people as well.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You seem to be quite preoccupied about physical aspects today and this will kind of give you a shallow image in front of people who don’t know you well enough.

Whether you are searching for exterior appraisal and a place in the spotlight or just trying some things to make yourself feel better in your own skin, try to keep your efforts private and parade just the results.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Don’t hurry up building any barricades around you at the first feeling you have that those in your family aren’t really listening to you because this might not be the case.

Maybe that particular person is busy with some troubles of their own or simply had a bad day. Take your time to dig deeper before you close communication lines.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This Friday you are going to display quite an altruistic attitude and indeed you will probably feel like that deep inside as well.

However, it seems that the general praise you will receive for being so thoughtful might open some sort of Pandora box in you and wake up some opportunistic thoughts you might have as well.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Don’t expect any outstanding results this Friday, especially if you are not investing as much as you should.

Several fields are to be benefited in your life, mostly related to communications and interactions with others but this is not enough so you shouldn’t expect any results to just knock on your door for you to welcome in.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might have set the wrong objective to be passionate about this Friday and this will probably give you this off sensation you are experiencing at the moment and that you cannot explain to yourself.

Maybe you’re also conflicted because you feel you cannot mix career and family life properly and you feel a choice is a must.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Chances say that today you will meet someone, now don’t get too high on this and imagine something romantic or something overly opportunistic in regard to work.

You might actually be disappointed and not even get the meaning of the day. If you want to be proactive, just be polite and open with everyone, because people still have things to unravel.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Whether your holiday has just begun or is about to end or worse, just ended you still have many other things to worry about, then complain about the current work – leisure situation.

May 17 Taurus at Their Best: Dedicated, responsible, powerful

May 17 Taurus at Their Worst: Abrasive, excessive, cruel

What to Wear: Anything plush, leather or suede — even if it’s hot outside. Due to the foodie tendencies of this birthday honoree, you might also consider an expandable waistband.

What to Eat: Taurus lives for sensual pleasure, so deliver it with several courses of creamy, rich and savory dishes — and don’t forget the wine!

Who to Invite: Taurus might pretend to not care who comes, but unless you invite everybody on this territorial person’s buddy list, you could be in for some sulking.

Where to Go: Pick a venue that at least looks posh. Taurus always likes to experience a nothing but the best kind of birthday

Queen of Rainbows – Flowering – Major Arcana

The Explanation of Queen of Rainbows Osho Zen Tarot

The Queen of Rainbows Osho Zen looks like an imaginary tree that is at its peak of flowering and freshness. She is very erotic, lively, and full of surprises. She snapped her fingers to the music of love, the zodiac necklace was cleverly placed so that the Venus symbol would be at her heart. Her sleeves contain lots of seeds, and when the wind blows through, the seeds will be scattered to take root where they may. She didn’t care whether they land on the soil or on the rocks – she just scattered them everywhere while enjoying life and love. Flowers fall on her from above, in harmony with her own flowering, and the stream of emotions swirled mischievously beneath the flower on which she sits.

You can feel blessings from everywhere like being in a flower garden at the moment. Welcome the bees and invite the birds to drink your nectar. Spread your joy around for all to share.

The Energy of Queen of Rainbows Osho Zen Tarot Based on Osho’s Teachings

Zen wants you living, living in abundance, living in totality, living intensely – not at the minimum as Christianity wants you, but at the maximum, overflowing. Your life should reach to others. Your blissfulness, your benediction, your ecstasy should not be contained within you like a seed. It should open like a flower and spread its fragrance to all and sundry – not only to the friends but to the strangers too.  This is real compassion, this is real love: sharing your enlightenment, sharing your dance of the beyond.

The Crossed Spears

(Mabon)
Opposite viewpoints.  Conflict, arguments, negativity.  A stalemate or pause in action.  In readings, “probably not.”

Ogham

Source: druidogham.wordpress.com

Mor

Change, shift, the sea, maps, realm of the subconscious, great undercurrents

Tree: Witch hazel (Hamamelis spp.)

Letter: X

“Sea change” is a term for profound or holistic change. Change is the foundation of existence. The interplay of opposing forces creates and destroys ad infinitum. Mor bookends the concept of change introduced by the first Ogham, Beith. The intention that sowed an action reaped a habit, the habit reaped a character, and the character reaped a destiny. The new track in space has been laid and change is inevitable.

When you draw Mor, look for the changes in and around you. These are not necessarily good or bad. Often, drawing this Ogham can mean something as basic as “oh look, the season of Spring is arriving”. Mor doesn’t have to indicate any kind of drama, although it could. Mor calls out to you to look at overarching influences, new factors or people, and to examine the permutations and possibilities of how they affect the environment.

Mor is a bird’s eye view of opposing forces in our lives rather than being upswept by the random forces that weave in and out of our daily existences. Understanding your own subconscious gives you the ability to calmly deal with challenges that come your way. The work you do on understanding yourself is the sails you build on your boat in the great sea of life. You still need to figure out which way the wind is blowing, of course, but knowing a thing or two about your own position, your tendencies, desires, faults, and strengths will give you the power you need to dodge rocks and survive storms.

Hexagram Seventeen/17

Sui / Following

Thunder beneath the Lake’s surface.
The Superior Person allows himself plenty of sheltered rest and recuperation while awaiting a clear sign to follow.

Supreme success.
No mistakes if you keep to your course.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Thunder from the Lake — the lulling, rhythmic roar of the faithful tide, eternally wearing away the stone of the shoreline, forever obedient to the phases of the moon.
The pull of the moon on the tide is the Following called for now.
As mighty as the tide is in its own right, it is ever the puppet of the invisible, irresistible gravity of the moon.
What cyclical forces pull you along?
Are you futilely attempting to resist a natural attraction?

Seventeen

It is spiritual growth, faith, and balance. It is also wealth or bankruptcy. It is an inner struggle to remain true to spiritual and moral values, while at the same time dedicating itself to the material world – one of the most conflicting numbers.

Dedication to the Goddess

 

Dedication to the Goddess

The Goddess brings us no more or less than we
are to her
She is the power for us to find ourselves
She is the light that guides our ways
She is the hand that extends when we are lost
She finds our heart and soul
For she knows what we hide
She bears all for us
For she is Mother and we are child

Fig Potion for Prosperity and Success

This potion is a delicious combination of spices and figs that has a rich purple color and an amazing cinnamon, cardamom scent mixed with the delicate tones of earthy, fresh figs.

You can use this potion drizzled on top of foods such as muffins, pancakes, berries, yogurt, and meats like ham and chicken. You can also add it to cocktails and mocktails for a light, spiced earthy drink with a vivid pink color.

I love making this potion in the fall, during the time of Mabon because figs are in season and it is a harvest festival of abundance.

ITEMS NEEDED

½ cup whole fresh figs

2 whole cloves

1 small cinnamon stick

½ cup sugar

½ cup water

¼ tsp cardamom ground

¼ tsp nutmeg

¼ tsp vanilla

 STEPS

1. Slice the figs

2. Combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for and simmer for 20 minutes, until the syrup has darkened and thickened.

3. Remove from heat and strain to remove the fig pieces and cinnamon stick

4. Let the syrup cool and use it drizzled on foods or in drinks. Recite the incantation below when you eat the syrup and focus on bringing in prosperity and success. (see below for a delicious cocktail using this fig syrup)

*Refrigerate the syrup to keep it for later. It will last about 1-2 weeks

Fig Cocktail Recipe:

Add ice to a glass and then add 1 part fig syrup, 1 part gin (or gingerale for a mocktail), top with club soda or tonic water, and add a squeeze of lemon
