Ehwaz
Ehwaz represents movement. You may be closing in on reaching your current goals. Your life may be changing for the better. Harmony with others should come easy for you at this time.
Although we act in a rational manner today, common sense isn’t the only viable solution. The pragmatic Taurus Moon helps us stabilize our lives, but our emotions are quite active now that the Sun creates a cooperative sextile with passionate Pluto. We may think we can contain our feelings, yet we might not be able to avoid getting hooked into an intense drama with a few surprising twists and turns from the Moon’s aspects to Uranus and Pluto.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Watch your spending today since it will be all too easy to make a foolish purchase that is based upon a whim. Instead of buying an item that just gives you an endorphin rush, invest in something more meaningful. Using your time and money to learn a new skill is wiser than distracting yourself with pleasure in the present moment.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You will feel better about your productivity if you don’t waste too much energy today on details that won’t matter in the long run. The Moon in your earthy sign reminds you of the importance of following through with your commitments. However, you can still derive pleasure by consciously opening your senses to enjoy good smells, sights and sounds, even while getting your work done.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Think about the consequences before you open your mouth or click on the send button, since it’s all too tempting to share what’s on your mind today and then quickly regret it. Inappropriate gossip or incorrect information can now slip right past your mental security guard, so practice self-restraint to avert unnecessary trouble. Use your quick wit to spread a positive message wherever you go.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Your desire to please your friends and family might provoke complicated explanations that don’t lead anywhere positive. Spend your time with people who will accept you without requiring a song and dance. You may be better off leaving the verbal justifications for another day since there’s just too much going on now to fit it all into words.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You naturally see yourself as in charge because others so often look to you for leadership. However, you may not want to take on additional responsibility at this time because there are so many things that already feel out of your control. Instead of making yourself crazy by trying to handle more work, you could be happier going your own way for a while. You don’t always have to live up to someone else’s expectations if you’re living up to your own.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You enjoy learning effective ways to get ahead, and usually you are quite a dedicated student. Unfortunately, your desire for such knowledge might not be fully satisfied today. Try as you might, the information you acquire now doesn’t seem logical. You can turn your mind in every direction to make sense of what’s happening, but this may not be the best time to stick to your regular routine. Be open to change and return to the tried and true only when you run out of options.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You often enjoy being the accommodating one in a relationship, yet you expect others to return the favor on occasion. After all, it seems fair to compromise for the sake of harmony. Now, however, you may run into someone who is particularly stubborn. Keep in mind that the messages you’re receiving might not be the real source of the problem. Ask different questions, dig deeper, and you’ll get closer to finding the answer
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
A strong connection with someone can make this a delightful day unless a disagreement gets out of hand. Savoring the simple sweetness of a loving partner or a good friend may be enough to smooth over the rough spots. Fortunately, you won’t have to resort to struggle or trickery to have a good time. All you need is the willingness to open your heart.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Finding pleasure in work around the home makes sense for you today with the dependable Taurus Moon in your 6th House of Routine. But don’t worry about getting a specific task done, for the secret to your current success is to indulge your feelings rather than just doing the first thing that comes to mind. Experience the present moment in its entirety now, instead of trying to meet your goals. Beauty is the guiding force that can make this a very sweet day.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
This can be one of those delightful days that remains in your memory for a long time. Still, it’s up to you to turn something mundane into a special event by sharing it with someone you love. If this option isn’t available, just be as playful as you can. Allowing yourself to express your inner child enables you to fully experience this opportunity for joy.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Spending quality time with those who are near and dear to you can make this a special day. In particular, tender moments with family members feel precious, especially if you still need to head out to work. You’re not necessarily the sentimental type, but today may be an exception. You don’t need to be overly ambitious now, for you are capable of finding great happiness close to home.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You are in your comfort zone today, yet it’s important to make sure that your positive outlook is not based upon a faulty illusion. If a conversation doesn’t go according to your plan, quit attempting to control it. Go with the flow and don’t frustrate yourself by trying to get anywhere special. There will be plenty of time to follow your pursuits later on. In the meantime, keep gathering information to clarify your position
If you were ever looking for a sabbatical away from cares, woes and worries, this is your 24-hour time-period to fly the coop and seek peace and quiet wherever possible. A main reason to get away from business-as-usual is due to the very long void lunar uncertainty cycle in Taurus that began yesterday, continues all of today, and then ends tomorrow at 11:41AM PDT. Every so often, the Moon enters what seems like a bottomless pit of void activity — when the Moon has ceased making its major alignments to other celestial bodies and seems to be drifting along more aimlessly than usual. However, the void Moon experience can be filled with spiritual studies, creative arts and crafts, and plenty of fun and games. The key is not to set up unrealistic expectations or force your will on others. Think more about going with the flow and simplifying your life. Today and tomorrow also constitute a 48-hour time-span to distribute the enlightening vibrations received during yesterday’s revelatory Full Moon experience. The main alignment of the day clocks in at 3:31AM PDT when the Sun and Pluto orchestrate a supportive, 60-degree liaison. Although this aspect occurs early, it can stay influential for most of the day. Learn more about your core values and what makes you tick — deep down inside. Hit the psychology and metaphysical books with a vengeance. Prepare for a shift by Ceres in Cancer into retrograde motion tomorrow.
A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

Hi there, Bye there, lol! Sorry I am running late. I am worse than Lady A on being prompt anywhere. But today I have a good excuse. We were debating over what we were going to do for Samhain. We still didn’t come up with anything and we were at it for about two hours. Maybe by the time Samhain gets here, we will know what we are doing. I hope!
That would be a good topic for discussion, what are your plans for Samhain?

‘THINK on THESE THINGS’
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler
We have often heard it said that God never closes one door unless He opens another. It is a great comfort to know we never really lose when we believe, for any defeat can be turned to good if we will absorb the lesson in it.
And yet, how often we refuse to go through that door that has been opened for us. It is so much easier to stand back and wail about the closed one. There seems to be a certain amount of glorification in defeat. It is a subtle something that hides in us and keeps us from doing well that which we know we are capable of doing. If we show strength, we are afraid we will have to stand alone.
Sometimes a door will close for us because that particular one would have caused us more unhappiness, but it never closes for punishment. God is love and love does not punish, nor does it have any power but to give what is right and good for us. With this knowledge, we can by grace walk through those doors that open to us and know it is right.
Elder’s Meditation of the Day – October 29
“Mothers must protect the lives they have helped to bring into the world.”
–Haida Gwaii, Traditional Circle of Elders
Every child is subject to the seeds each adult plants in his/her mind. If we plant praise and “you can do it”, the child will grow up with certain predictable behavior patterns. If we plant ideas that there’s something wrong with you or you’re good for nothing, the child will grow up with predictable behavior patterns. We need to honor and respect the mothers who protect the children and plant positive seeds for their growth.
Great Spirit, bless each mother and give her courage and faith.
October 29 – Daily Feast
Something new is always an exciting prospect. It can be anything that changes the face of daily life and brings it into a new pattern that makes us feel better. Drudgery can take over our thinking and then our actions. Sticking too close to one routine and never having a change is an obvious sign we are heading for drudgery. If renewal is to come there must be change – even if it is to walk a short distance, talk to someone out of the ordinary, and do something for someone. These things sound simplistic but if they turn our thinking to more creativity or more relaxation, it is worth doing.
~ I felt that I was leaving all that I had but I did not cry. ~
