Today’s I Ching Hexagram for June 6 is 53: A Steady Pace
53: A Steady Pace
General Meaning: Like an ancient old-growth forest — where the subtle play of light, texture and shadows is the product of a process measured in centuries and inches — most things of lasting value develop gradually, at their own pace. The ability to learn from experience — one of humanity’s greatest capacities — implies constant yet gradual progress. The combination of stillness within and determination without are the essence of this dynamic. Good things sometimes sprout quickly; the truly delightful take much longer.
The principle of gradual development applies also to human relationships. For love and marriage or any important partnership to endure, progress must be slow but steady: slow enough to allow for the bonds to knit properly; steady enough to keep moving in the right direction.
You can’t expect to have everything all at once. Development must be allowed to take its proper course and allotted time; events must neither be rushed nor manipulated, but allowed to unfold naturally. In this way, you will come to enjoy long-lasting relationships and achieve success.
Magickal Intentions – Fidelity
Although magickally forcing your loved one to remain faithful is violating one of the precepts of magick (harm none), there are herbs which can be used to gently remind him or her of you and to guard against unwanted temptations used them with love and care.
Your Daily Number for June 6: 1
It’s a take charge day in which you should rely on yourself. Thanks to your focus and independence, a project may finally reach completion, or you may start on a new challenge. You may have an important introduction to someone new. Material losses are likely, however, so make sure to remember your keys, wallet, etc.

Tarot Association: MagicianAn Ancient Spell to Invoke The Protective Guardians of Your Home After Dark
In Iceland and part of Scandinavia it is still accepted that land and homes are protected at night by land wights, tall shadowy guardians who watch over boundaries and stand where roads or path meet, keeping away ill wishers, both earthly and paranormal. This belief was once upheld throughout northern and eastern Europe and Russia. In Iceland offerings are left for these spirits in field sacred to them. No one will build on this land. If you live in a place that is lonely or where vandalism often occurs after dark, try this spell. The spell will also protect against evening phone calls or visits from anyone who make you unhappy and perhaps pressurised you.
Items You Will Need
3 tall white candles; 3 candle-holders or a three candle holder in which the candles are at different heights, the tallest in the middle; a mirror (optional)
Timing
After dark whenever you feel your home needs protection.
The Spell
-
Place the candles in a row in a darkened room, facing an uncurtained window that does not have a street light directly outside so that when you light the candles, you can see the flames reflected in the window. If you have no such windows place the candles before a mirror.
-
Light the candles one by one, for each candle saying: Be those the guardian of my( or name the Person to whose house you are sending the protection) home. turn back the phantoms of the night, So all is till day remains as light.
-
Each candle now represents a guardian. Give each one a secret name. These may be for example, the names of angels or deities, or they may be names of your own making.
-
Blow out each candle in turn as you do so, naming the guardian and saying; Go peacefully (name) and in peace return.
-
Replace the candle regularly but keep the same names.
Magickal Intentions – Protection
From the overwhelming number of herbs used for this purpose it is obvious that protection is (and has been) of the utmost concern for many people. Most of the protective herbs are general in their effects; they guard their bearer against physical and psychic attacks; injury; accidents, poison, snake bite, lightning strikes, wicked spirits, the evil eye and so on. In other words they are protective in a general way.
Naturally they won’t do you much good once something has happened–protective herbs should be a preventative. This doesn’t mean that if you wear a protective root or carry a sachet you’ll breeze through life unfettered with annoyances. But carrying some of those herbs will certainly help screen out potential harmful situation.
In today’s world we should guard ourselves with every available means. Protective herbs are one of these. They create a type of force field around your home, possessions, or self. When carried they also increase the effectiveness of your body’s natural defenses.
An ounce of prevention, after all, is worth a pound of cure.
Your Daily Horoscopes for June 6
We can find a workable balance today between the lightheartedness of the Gemini Sun and the heaviness of Saturn in relationship-oriented Libra. Fortunately, the expressive Leo Moon mediates the day as she forms collaborative sextiles with both Saturn and the Sun. Although we’re confident, we still need to be cognizant of our limits because of an exuberant Sun-Jupiter semisquare. There is power in having a positive attitude if we don’t go too far.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may not get caught up with your work as fast as you wish today, for your mind is preoccupied with pleasure rather than production. It’s a smart idea to get the distractions out of your system now, for you have too much to do and won’t be able to procrastinate forever. Nevertheless, returning to your unfulfilled obligations with a smile on your face will help you accomplish more in the long run.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You have an opportunity today to finish up lots of little tasks at work and at home, including emailing friends, paying bills and cleaning your office. However, don’t be too concerned if you don’t make measurable progress by the end of the day, for it may take a while to get ahead. Nevertheless, your optimism now can motivate you to reach your goals as long as you don’t try to do everything all at once.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You may be holding on to negative feelings about an unfinished conversation yesterday, but you would be wise to let go and move on. You have other fish to fry now and it’s more important to look forward than waste time replaying an interaction that didn’t go as smoothly as expected. Planning for new successes throughout the coming week is much more useful than worrying about the past.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
It’s dangerous to make assumptions or jump to conclusions today because once you make up your mind, you’re pretty certain that you are correct. Unfortunately, you could be a victim now of believing your own hype. The good news is that your current breadth of vision can fuel amazing discussions on a variety of interesting topics. As fascinating as your conversations might be, specific things that remain unsaid may be even more important than what is stated out loud.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may find it challenging today to handle the consequences of your anger that seems to resurface from time to time, even if you already dealt with the original source of the problem. Thankfully, you can lean on your friends for support now, which may be enough to help you over a rough spot. But don’t ask anyone to fix anything; instead, take responsibility by learning from your past mistakes and being flexible enough to adapt to the changing tides.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
It’s hard for you to relax today because you have so much to do at work. Although you’re buzzing all over the place with the Sun and Mercury in your professional 10th house, you probably wish you had a few more days to your weekend because you need more time to think. Nevertheless, your time for contemplation may be over for a while. Just enter the flow of activity and figure it out along the way.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
It’s often challenging for you to make a long-term decision about your plans, especially when there are so many amazing choices. But don’t let anyone tell you that you need to decide today, for you would be smarter to keep your options open. There is currently a lot of blue sky around you, making everything appear better than it is. Wait until a few clouds return and see where the shadows are cast before going on record with your final answer.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your anger may develop throughout the day if anyone is trying to talk you out of your actual feelings. Uncharacteristically, you might be willing to change your mind today, but only on your own terms. If others don’t take the time to find out how you truly feel, then you’re probably not going to compromise. However, if they are really interested in your perspective, you can be more open-minded now than they expect.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Establishing your priorities can be a real challenge, especially since you don’t want to make important decisions today. It’s not that you should let go of your objectives; it’s just that you have a lot to gain now by following an intelligent friend or partner for a while. Don’t worry about a missed opportunity because a new situation for advancement at your current job is likely. Paradoxically, easing off on your grip can actually solidify your position and increase the possibility of doing something special.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Don’t be afraid to ask for help navigating through unfamiliar territory today. It’s hard to make sense of it all because there could be one too many options, leaving you overwhelmed and exhausted from trying to figure it all out. Your stress multiplies if you believe that your decision must be final now. Rest assured that you will still be able to change your mind later without much difficulty at all.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Instead of booking your day too rigidly, try giving yourself the flexibility you need. One way to accomplish this is to leave large blocks of time completely unstructured for you to do as you please. It may also help to examine your motives for keeping so busy. Remember, you don’t have to put lots of activities on your schedule now in order to be considered a success.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Talking about your feelings can help to dissipate negativity, but you could easily go overboard now and pretend that everything is fine. You must be careful not to whitewash the truth just because it’s not pretty. Don’t worry about other people’s reactions to your opinion; instead, concentrate on the usefulness and accuracy of your message. Avoid the temptation to share your personal information as a way to get your friends and workmates to take notice.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Good day to burst into song. Nothing too fancy, mind you — no arias. The theme song from “The Beverly Hillbillies” will do nicely. Why not see how many people you can get to sing along?
Today you will attempt to capitalize on the success of SPAM by inventing SPEEF. Unfortunately, you would have been much better off trying to make SPICKEN, instead.
Beware of giant squids today. Other than that, a good day for a nice walk along the beach.
You are developing a strangely magnetic personality. Soon people you don’t even know will begin hanging around with you, hoping for some small sign of your attention. Also, iron filings will begin sticking to the tip of your nose.
About your new idea… Sure, I’ll bet you could sell your handmade voodoo dolls by marketing them over the Internet. The competition, however, can be “fierce.” You might want to stop and consider how many flights of stairs you’re interested in falling down, before you commit yourself to that course of action…
Today you will discover that you are capable of “channelling”, when you start spouting ancient sumerian curses at a short little dweeb who cuts you off in traffic. You will start taking notes in cuneiform.
You will join a team, and have lots of fun. I’m not sure what sport it is, but the team name will be “The Screaming Weasels.”
An odd smell, probably like that of chocolate milk drying on a linoleum floor, will bring back a flood of childhood memories. You will remember your locker combination from seventh grade, for example. Ironically, this will happen during a boring yet important meeting, and you will disgrace yourself by calling someone “booger-face”.
Beware of Doug.
You will get the peculiar urge to go outside and roll around in something yicky. Also, you’ll notice your ears are getting hairy.
Good day to put strange labels on your binders and file cabinets, such as “launch codes”, “who’s been naughty”, or “Snerge”. This will be quite effective in distracting visitors, so they will often forget what ever they were preparing to bother you about.
Remember: you can’t tell your boss to get lost. You can, however, give him the wrong directions.
