Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today

Creation

The Creation card suggest that your creative powers are at or near their peak and that the raw material from which you can craft new and lasting creations is all around you. The question is can you free your mind from your everyday routines to take advantage of this powerful moment in your life? As Eric Fromm said, “Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.” The full force of Creation can only be realized by those who are prepared to sacrifice the comfort concomitant with sticking to the tried and true.

As a daily card, Creation indicates your are currently bursting with creativity. Where others see chaos and waste, you see the stuff from which great things arise. If you have the courage to look beyond the comfort of your day to day life, you have the command to soar creatively at this time.

Ansuz / Signals reversed

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for June 30 is 42: Increase

42: Increase

Hexagram 42

General Meaning: Substantial progress and increasing prosperity is pointed to. In whatever forms it takes, periods of increase are exhilarating, as long as you go with the flow while it lasts and keep the interests of others in mind. Like white water on a river, periods of increase are often of short duration; it furthers one, therefore, to shoot the rapids now, while the opportunity is there.

A good sense of direction in times of opportunity involves commitment to the needs of one’s cohorts and dependents. Only by realizing that to lead is really to serve, can an effective leader contribute to a lasting increase in prosperity for all. In times of general increase, those who contribute most directly to the common good will also receive the greatest rewards.

When opportunities for increase arise, supreme good fortune comes to those who act swiftly and boldly, while avoiding the trap of letting their actions be only self-serving. If you aspire to a position of prominence, the most enduring strategy is to work to raise the tide of your entire pond, rather than to try to swim upstream on your own.

When the times favor prosperity, and when leadership is in the hands of the broad-minded, supreme good fortune results.

Today’s Tarot Card for June 30 is The Fool

The Fool

This Tarot Deck: Chinese

General Meaning: Pamela Coleman-Smith’s artful rendition of an “innocent Fool” archetype (Rider-Waite deck) is often used to represent Tarot in general. Early classical versions of the Fool card, however, portray quite a different character — a person driven by base needs and urges, who has fallen into a state of poverty and deprivation.

In some instances, he is made out to be a carnival entertainer or a huckster. In others, he is portrayed as decrepit and vulnerable — as the cumulative result of his delusions and failures. Not until the 20th century do you see the popular Rider-Waite image of the Fool arise — that of an innocent Soul before its Fall into Matter, as yet untainted by contact with society and all its ills.

Modern decks usually borrow from the Rider-Waite imagery. Most Fool cards copy the bucolic mountainside scene, the butterfly, the potential misplaced step that will send the Fool tumbling into the unknown. Don’t forget, however, that the earlier versions of this card represented already-fallen humanity, over-identified with the material plane of existence, and beginning a pilgrimage towards self-knowledge, and eventually, wisdom. The Fool reminds us to recognize the path of personal development within ourselves — and the stage upon that path where we find ourselves — in order to energize our movement toward deeper self-realization.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 30

The Moon’s shift into emotionally sensitive Cancer at 12:12 pm EDT prods us to reflect on our need for security. But we can overreact just like the Crab at the seashore — we’re afraid of being washed away by the changing tides as we approach tomorrow’s New Moon Eclipse. Meanwhile, the Moon forms difficult aspects with erratic Uranus and potent Pluto, bringing intense emotions to the surface that provoke worry about losing control of our lives.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be panicking because you think that you’re running out of time, but it’s smarter to wait a day or two before taking any drastic measures. Don’t overreact; it’s not the best time to rush ahead and show everyone how well you can handle an emergency. There’s no need to try to inspire others with your courage. Instead of mustering up false bravado, observe your emotions without trying to prove anything.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You probably have quite a lot to do, but others may not realize how busy you are today. You’re not interested in being in the spotlight now, so working quietly behind the scenes suits your mood. However, it’s not that you’re purposefully trying to avoid recognition; you just don’t want to waste energy seeking attention. There’s nothing wrong with graciously accepting acknowledgement for your contribution.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your moods are rapidly fluctuating today and every time you make up your mind something happens and your feelings shift again. You could be overly concerned with how others interpret your instability now, but you don’t really have the ability to change their perceptions. Instead of trying to fix something that’s beyond your control, concentrate on being true to your values. Wait to share your opinions until your emotions settle down.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s return to your sign today can fill you with pride or it can raise fears that you would prefer to avoid. Either way, be ready to go on a ride. It’s best to handle your feelings as they arise or they will just get in the way of the next emotional cycle that starts after tomorrow’s Solar Eclipse. Relinquish your expectations; maintaining an open mind will help to make everything flow smoother.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s okay to keep to yourself today, for you could benefit from some quiet time to listen to your heart. It can be challenging to hear your own voice if you’re busy running around for everyone else. It’s not your fault if people are pushing you to perform. Instead of feeling like a dancing bear in a circus, do what’s best for you now. Others will probably forgive your current need for privacy once you show them what you accomplished.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might confuse others with your scattered energy today and inadvertently draw them away from their chores. Although your intentions are good, you’re not interested in setting the agenda for everyone else. But before you claim that you don’t want the extra responsibility now, consider the practicalities involved in the trade-off. It may be smarter to negotiate for what you want than to just walk away from the situation.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might set yourself up for disappointment today because it seems like you’re willing to take care of everyone at work. However, you shouldn’t spread yourself too thin, even if you care about others a whole lot. Try weaving an invisible protective shell around you so you don’t get pulled off track. You’ll probably do fine in the long run, but your current feelings of scarcity can impede your progress. It may feel like a stretch to change your attitude, but you certainly have the power to do it.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You must stay focused on the present moment instead of holding on to an old dream that gets in the way of your current happiness. If someone questions your life strategy today, avoid falling into the trap of feeling the need to defend your goals. However, keep in mind that clinging to your past or dreaming about the future doesn’t leave you with much time for now.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It seems like everyone wants to spend time with you now because you know how to have fun while still remaining emotionally sensitive. However, you can avoid the hot seat today by redirecting the subject of a conversation away from you and onto a friend. Your cleverness may get you through the day, but don’t set aside what you should be nurturing in your own heart.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You don’t like it when a friend or partner is holding out on you. You prefer others to be forthright and say what’s on their minds; otherwise your imagination transforms the unknown into something worse than the simple truth. Unfortunately, your desire to know another person’s feelings could drive your own emotions deeper into hiding. Relax your intense curiosity; an indirect approach may be the perfect catalyst to trigger a necessary conversation.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your desire for an intellectual discussion may be thwarted today as other people’s feelings keep cycling back into the conversation. You might try to steer the topics away from nonfactual biases. But your attempts to modify the natural flow of the group process could anger someone, eliciting the very same emotional outbreak you wish to avoid. Instead, allow the dialogue to meander naturally without imposing your agenda.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you believe that a co-worker is trying to take unfair advantage of you at work, your swift response today could catch him or her off guard. Sometimes you are more forgiving, but now you could overreact if you feel that you’ve been pushed too far. Don’t be afraid of a power struggle; just keep in mind that your compassion is your most effective weapon.

Happy, Happy Thursday! TGIF and a loooong weekend ahead!

Hello world, how are you today? You can definitely tell Summer is here. The temperatures here are almost in the middle 90’s and you can tell it. I have a wonderful case of sun poisoning on my arms. My fault, I am a red-head and we don’t tan. I wouldn’t tan if someone paid me too.  Besides it’s my own darn fault, I was outside for hours playing with the wildcat kittens and no sunscreen nothing on me.  And now I am paying for it. In case, some of you don’t know what sun poisoning is, like my doctor (neurologist). I couldn’t believe it, I had got up and got some of their cool packs and had one on my arm when he came in. He didn’t care but he wanted to know what was wrong with my arm. I told him sun poisoning and he said, “what’s that?” (Hmmm, I thought doctors would know this stuff :s ).  Back to what it is, sorry, sun poisoning doesn’t hurt. It is where you have had excessive amounts of sun in the past and your skin just can’t take anymore rays. Small, prickly bumps pop out on you and it itches like the devil. If you scratch too much, you will have some awful scars left on you when it clears up. I have one down by were my watch will be, that is absolutely horrible. There was three bumps there together and I scratched and scratched and I am going to be left with a bad scar. Enough about sun-poisoning……..

We went yesterday afternoon to release the wildcat kittens. They are finally big enough to care for theirselves and I don’t want to keep them too long. If I do that, they will come to think all humans are friendly and kind and that could be very dangerous for them. Hubby and I loaded the cages on the back of our four-wheelers. We rode to the creek bed. I went to the back to both cages and opened the doors. I walked away and called the cats. One jumped out and followed me a little bit. The other two decided to join their brother. They got to looking around and playing. My hubby told me they would be fine and it was time to go. My eyes swelled with tears and I got on my four-wheeler and started back up the creek. Too my delight and my hubby’s dismay, I felt the back of my wheeler go down and then a thump! I turned around and it was one of the little cats we were trying to release. Hubby stopped and here came the other two just a running. I was so happy, I got down laughing and crying. Hubby walked over to me about half pissed and asked me, “what now?”  I told him that I guessed we would have to bring them out more and more to reintroduce them to the wild. So we shut the cage doors and off we traveled. I cried all the way back but I didn’t let hubby see me. They were tears of joy, I have become so attached to these three little guys it ain’t even funny. To a person who has never worked with wild animals, you might not understand how you can fall in love with some of the most vicious animals on the planet. It just happens. The more you are around the animal, the more you start to become attached even while they are showing their teeth at you, lol! Then the animal starts to trust you, cuddle up beside you and then you know, in that animal’s own special way they love you too. It is a wonderful experience that I wish everyone would have at least once. Maybe then, there wouldn’t so much cruelty and killing of these precious creatures.

*Personal Note*

I have never mentioned it but I foster animals for two local clinics. I have fostered about everything under the sun except snakes. No snakes, never!

The Throat Chakra

Your Throat Chakra – What Does it Need?

 
Adapted from The Triple Goddess Tarot, by Isha Lerner (Bear & Company, 2002).

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. – Mother Teresa

The throat chakra is a transmitter of truth, freedom, and clarity. It is located in the throat and neck region of the body and extends upward to include the lower region of the brain or cortex. This area of the physical body holds the communication center, and the gateway to inner and outer worlds. What does your Throat Chakra need so you can fully express who you are?

Singing, chanting, acting, and toning are all activities that vibrate from the Throat Chakra. Holding tension in the Throat Chakra is often due to lack of support in the early years regarding self-expression and freedom of speech. With a healed and healthy Throat Chakra, one’s words are kind, thoughtful, clear, and truthful. The voice is strong and alive with many tones of expression. Usually there is ease with writing, speaking, and sharing thoughts with others. A healthy Throat Chakra cannot sustain lies, coercion, or manipulation.

Attributes of the Throat Chakra:
Function: Communication, creativity, and connection
Color: Blue
Musical Note: A
Healing Flower: Morning glory
Animal Totems: Hawk, whale, and hummingbird
Foods: Fruits
Herb: Frankincense
Gemstone: Turquoise

Through the Throat Chakra one may speak long-held truths of past hurts and, in the process, find much inner peace and a sense of personal freedom. In this way, the throat is a gateway between the mind and body.

Affirmations:
I am the messenger.
I speak the sweet whispers of the heart.
I sing my song.
I speak my truth with clarity and courage.
I am the essence of sound vibration.
