Moon Alert

Caution! Avoid shopping or major decisions from 9:30 AM to 6 PM EDT today (8:30 AM to 3 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is another day with confusion and possible deception, especially related to your work, your health or a pet. This means you might be kidding yourself about a health issue. Think about that. Meanwhile, if you think a coworker is not on the level with you, look into it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Some kind of confusion and misunderstanding related to your kids or a romantic partner or a social situation continues to blur things for you. This might also have something to do with sports. The main thing is to know that there is possible confusion. Don’t take things for granted.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Like yesterday, relations with parents, bosses, teachers and the police are fuzzy or unclear about something. They might not know what you want; or perhaps, you don’t know what they want. Don’t hide anything for fear of embarrassment. Come clean now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Don’t fall for propaganda related to politics, religion and racial issues today, which will be very easy to do. Don’t let other people do your thinking for you. Listen to ideas that others have but make your own mind up. Test them in your own mind. Don’t be a sheep, be an eagle.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is another day where there is confusion about money, earnings or something to do with your possessions. Don’t turn a blind eye to these issues. Make a personal resolve to face them and figure out what’s going on. In a case like this, procrastination could cost you money.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Expect confusion talking to close friends, partners and spouses today. Possibly, you’re disappointed because you did not express your expectations to someone? Others can’t read your mind. You have to be clear and ask for what you want. If you are disappointed – say so.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something going on behind the scenes might introduce confusion to your job or something to do with a pet. It might relate to your health. You are ambitious now because you want to achieve a lot. This also means you need your body as a resource. Take care of it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be observant with your kids today because they might need your help and not even know it. Possibly, they are in trouble or hiding something from you. Likewise, romantic relationships might be fuzzy and unclear (more than usual). Pay attention.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Do your best to avoid misunderstandings when dealing with parents or bosses and VIPs today. Anyone in a position of authority might make the wrong assumptions about you; and vice versa, you might make wrong assumptions about them. (Never underestimate the power of courtesy.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If you are making travel plans, double check all details because today is rife with confusion and errors. Do not assume that everything is flowing the way you hoped. Go back and double check details. Be extra clear with people from other cultures or different countries.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is the second day in a row where there is confusion about money, banking, earnings or your possessions. Whatever it is it can affect your wealth. Make sure you know what’s going on. And if you are suspicious about a certain area – investigate it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be extra clear talking to others today. Make no assumptions. Be ready to accommodate and go more than halfway when dealing with others so that you can keep the peace and keep everyone happy. Just do it.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Robert Downey Jr. (1965) shares your birthday today. You are daring and charismatic. When inspired, you generate amazing energy for organization, activity and inducing others to leap on your bandwagon. This year service to others is a theme, which is why you need to take care of yourself. Perhaps a makeover? Others will turn to you for guidance.

Moon Alert

After 7 AM EDT today (4 AM PDT) there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today might begin in a sober way because you have duties and responsibilities to perform. Nevertheless, as the day wears on, your energy will pick up and you will see ways to make home improvements and have energetic discussions with family members. Who knew?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Children might be an increased responsibility today, especially in the morning. Likewise, you might be discouraged about social plans and relationships with romantic partners. Fortunately, as the day wears on, you have more energy to give to your social scene and to children.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be patient this morning when dealing with family members, especially parents and authority figures because things could go sideways in a New York minute. (You don’t need this.) Fortunately, later in the day, you have the enthusiasm and energy to make improvements at home and mend family relationships.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your moods can change frequently throughout the day. (You know this.) This morning you might feel world-weary and discouraged. Don’t worry because as the day wears on, you will feel increasingly energetic, optimistic and hopeful. Go figure. It was ever thus.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be discouraged about financial matters today. Or perhaps something that you own is broken or damaged. Bummer. Fear not because later in the day, you might see things in a new light and either a solution is at hand or things don’t look as bad as you thought.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign. In the morning, it opposes stern Saturn, which is a depressing influence. Fortunately, this is just a brief dark cloud on your horizon. As the day wears on, you feel lots more energy and more emotionally upbeat. A real transformation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

In one way, today you might feel lonely and cut off from others. “Nobody loves me.” But do not take these feelings too seriously because they’re temporary. Later in the day, you will feel energetic about taking advantage of opportunities to boost your good name. It’s all good.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Difficulties with a friend or even a group might be discouraging today. You might feel shutout of something or ignored. However, later, someone from another culture or a different country or perhaps the idea of exciting travel plans will lift your spirits.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you might encounter difficulty dealing with bosses, parents, teachers and the police. “Talk to the hand,” will be their response. Do not ask for permission or approval. Later in the day, financial help or assistance from another source will be encouraging. All is not lost.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon opposes your ruler Saturn, which can make you feel judgmental, even depressed. Or maybe not? But in all likelihood, life will feel hard. Fortunately, this is a fleeting feeling because your interaction with a friend or partner will turn things completely around for you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Financial matters look discouraging today. You might feel broke or disappointed at the lack of support from a third party or someone from whom you expected more. Nevertheless, later in the day, you will see how you can recoup any losses through your own work because you’re so clever.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

As this day begins, the Moon is opposite your sign and opposing Saturn in your sign. This is basically discouraging. Relations with friends and partners might disappoint. Fortunately, social news, opportunities in sports or something to do with children will completely lift your spirits. Saved by the bell!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Pedro Pascal (1975) shares your birthday today. You will be forever young. You have an optimistic look on life and are realistic about your hopes and dreams for the future. This year it’s time to create solid foundations in your life both physically and in an interior way. Let simplicity be a theme as you become grounded and more levelheaded.

Coll

C, sometimes read as K, is Coll, which is the Hazel tree. August is known as the Hazel Moon, because this is when Hazel nuts appear on the trees–the world Coll translates to “the life force inside you”, and what better symbol of life than the nut itself? Hazel is associated with wisdom and creativity and knowledge. Sometimes it is connected in Celtic lore with magical springs, sacred wells, and divination.

Hazel was a handy tree to have around. It was used by many English pilgrims to make staffs for use upon the road–not only was it a sturdy walking stick, it also provided a modicum of self-defense for weary travelers. Certainly, it could have been used as well for ritual. Hazel was used in weaving of baskets by medieval folk, and the leaves were fed to cattle because it was believed this would increase the cow’s supply of milk.

In the Irish myth cycles, there is a tale that nine hazel nuts dropped into a sacred pool. A salmon came along in the pool and gobbled up the nuts, which then imbued him with wisdom. A variation of the story appears in the legend of Finn Mac Cumhail, who ate the salmon and then took on the knowledge and wisdom of the fish. Note that Mac Cumhail is often translated as Mac Coll.

Our guardian angels are quite creative in the way they communicate with people. Never one to converse directly, they usually speak to us in the form of signs, symbols, and numbers.

Now, these numbers called angel numbers carry special meanings that we must decipher into normal language; only then can we receive and interpret our messages from the celestial beings properly.

Angels can find solutions to problems from different perspectives—perspectives that are beyond our imagination.

After all, unlike us, our angels are not limited by time nor space. They can look at a problem from different angles and guide us in the right direction.

So, if you see angel numbers, decipher them and adhere to the suggestions provided. There are many such numbers but today, let’s talk about angel number 14.

GENERAL

Three of Wands – Minor Arcana

This suit, most often called “Wands” and sometimes called “Rods” or “Staves,” represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.
A Three in this suit symbolizes an inner balance that allows you to feel more optimistic about new endeavors you are committed to, or want to commit to. In the illustrated Tarots, the human character is standing on his balcony, watching ships leave the harbor, loaded with his goods for far-off ports, dreaming of the fortune he will reap if all goes well. Summon the optimism within you.

This energy must be patient and trusting, because he or she will have to wait some time to find out how the ships have fared. Meanwhile, a lot of resources are tied up until they return with the bounty. Only those truly confident in their ideas and abilities would undertake such a risk. This card represents the energy a person needs to take on great adventures and accomplish noble (and remunerative) deeds.

A detail that sometimes appears in the more esoteric Tarots is a winged wand with two snakes twining around it, called the Caduceus, which is Mercury’s wand. This is an ancient symbol of the healer or shaman, one who can travel between the worlds to rescue souls from death or possession. Perhaps the feeling of empowerment this card represents points to the internal mechanisms of self-healing. Perhaps it refers to the courage it takes to be an entrepreneur or an inventor, which is in itself a magical process — bringing not only opportunity for success, but also an awakening to higher potentials.

Love

The Wheel of Fortune – Major Arcana

Today, the truth is told and clears up a situation that has hung on and on. Take direct action now to clear up something that should have been handled long ago. The Wheel of Fortune selected you because you need to know that some parts of the conditions were out of your control. Some events are not the result of something you did. You do have control over how you deal with matters now.

Health

King of Wands – Major Arcana

This suit, most often called “Wands” and sometimes called “Rods” or “Staves,” represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.

Traditionally representing the energy of a dynamic King, this card represents the classic conquering hero. He’s a charismatic leader, entrepreneurial and ambitious, always creating new adventures. He does this because he doesn’t like to stay home or to have to “mind the store” — he gets to feeling restless and bored with the predictable. If you need a crusader, or someone to take on a big challenge, he’s your man. He needs a big assignment, and would rather lead than follow.

It could be said that he has a bit of an ego, as evidenced in his enjoyment of flattery and praise. A bit of a performer, he overachieves in situations where it will be noticed, but in private he wants to be served and adored like the head lion of a pride. A benevolent dictator, he makes life wonderful for those he loves and just the opposite for those who displease him.

Finances

Eight of Wands – Minor Arcana

This suit, most often called “Wands” and sometimes called “Rods” or “Staves,” represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.

The Eight of this suit often shows a flight of spears or staffs moving through the air in formation, as if a hidden group of archers had let them fly all at once. This can refer to swiftly unfolding events, whether of unintentional or intentional design. There are also versions that emphasize the agricultural cycle, paralleling the yearly crop cycle with the swift growth of children into adults with children of their own.

In each case, the emphasis is on the necessity of change and the challenge of keeping up with it. With the turning of the seasons, we are constantly being forced to deal with change and there is no remedy but to live with that in mind. So, get busy — there is no time to waste!
