Spiritual Unite: The Mystery Of Rising Sign In Your Horoscope

Before we begin and get into all sciency stuff, let’s make sure you are familiar with the concept of Horoscope.
Horoscope is an account of the exact position of all the planets and stars at the time of one’s birth. It attributes towards forecasting future predictions and also the characteristics of an individual. Based on this date, time and location sphere, everyone is assigned a specific zodiac sign which represents a particular set of traits and features. It is also referred to as the life sign.

Daily Good: A Call to Caring

“At the heart of caring is an ‘and’ not an ‘or’. Deep within us lies a potential that transcends our artificial limitations. Can we embrace the possibility that we are fully capable of caring globally, in every direction — that the compass of our caring could open 360 degrees?” In his new book ‘Caring’ Tibetan lama Tarthang Thulku dives deep into an exploration of caring the potent antidote it offers to the ills of our time. The following excerpt, authored by his daughter shares thoughts on how to create a more caring world

Elephant Journal: How to Stop Spewing your Past all Over your Present.

An old lover of mine recently posted on social media:
“You’re going to date a few cowards before you meet someone brave enough to love you.”
My initial response: What a fucker.
My sarcastic response: Jeez, thanks.
My annoyed response: But wait…I thought you didn’t believe in love?
My snarky response: Shit…she must be brave to love you.
My snarkier response: Mirror mirror.

EarthSky News: Watch for Taurid fireballs!

Various sources give wildly different dates for the peak date of the long-lasting South Taurid meteor shower (active from late September to late November). November 4, 2018 is one of those predicted dates. Thus both November 4 and November 5, 2018 are good nights to watch for meteors, possibly featuring a higher-than-average rate of South Taurid meteors.

Inner Journey: 

INSPIRED TO CHANGE?

Are you getting the most benefit from these short Inner Journeys? Here are some ways to progressively stimulate more and more growth and change from these messages:
•Read them quickly for momentary inspiration and move on to the next email.
•Print them and keep them visible so you are conscious of the message during the day.
•Take just 30 seconds and write in your journal as little as one word or a few sentences about how you connect with each message.
•Take just 3 to 5 minutes to relax, reflect and contemplate on the messages that touch you. And then write a short note in your journal.
•When a message really hits home, make the effort to explore the program that delves into that topic more deeply.

At a minimum, if a message strikes any nerve at all, take a few seconds to become aware of what nerve was struck and what it means to you.

This process builds awareness, and awareness brings change and growth – automatically!

“Everyone stumbles over the truth from time to time, but most people pick themselves up and hurry off as though nothing ever happened.”
— Sir Winston Churchill

Beauty

“Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.” -Kahlil Gibran

When does life unveil her holy face? When we remove the veil of illusion before our eyes. We see things so obscured by the pressures and demands of our lives. Never mind the forest for the trees – we don’t see the blessings for the bills! But every once in awhile, it catches us by surprise. We are moved by beauty. It is a gentle reminder of God’s presence. Maybe it’s a dandelion growing through a crack in the sidewalk – a sign that life is meant to be lived despite any obstacles. Maybe it is a neighbor’s smile, or a beneficial “coincidence.” In any case, our lives are beautiful, we are beautiful, even if we need to be reminded of it every once in awhile.

Taking the Risk: Cat’s Angel Message for November 5, 2018 

November’s Theme: Our goal this month lies in watching our thoughts.  Remember that POSITIVE opens and draws and NEGATIVE closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear.



Could you risk believing that everything will unfold just fine if you completely let go of all concern about everything else, and simply are here, now – if only for a moment? – Dmitri Bilgere




115:  Initiating change in our lives is an ongoing endeavor and it’s important to support our goals and thought seeds with positive intentions. Today’s number, 5 , relates to changes and transformations making this an excellent day to initiate something new or tend what we’re currently working on. Take time each day to affirm what you want and where you want to be, remember that “I Am ” and “I Will” are powerful motivators that will help to boost your energy levels. Remember that change should not be feared but seen as a new adventure. One that will enrich your life in ways that will benefit your growth (personal, spiritual, emotional). Today the Universe is reminding us not to force these changes, simply get them started then  allow them to grow and unfold naturally as it makes for a much smoother transition.




Archangel Jeremiel gently helps us to let of the worry and fear that can accompany change and thoughts of what the future holds. The Ascended Master Saint Germain  surrounds us with loving protection. He teaches us how to clear the way and free our minds from worry so that we can work on more important things. And the Egyptian goddess Isis reminds us to  “Be grateful for the baby steps that move you along your path, for they are milestones on your inward journey. Celebrate these steps and appreciate every kindness shown as they are all part of a grand celebration!




Our Sacred Stones for today are Iolite which helps to ease the change process and Cerussite promotes understanding of the changes we initiate while keeping us grounded.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Beauty & Goodness: Cat’s Angel Message for November 4, 2018 


 November’s Theme: Our goal this month lies in watching our thoughts.  Remember that POSITIVE opens and draws and NEGATIVE closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear.




Good things just keep happening. – Bob Edwards




114:  We are all unique and beautiful. And each individual is a powerful creator who has many gifts to share. Through our own self awareness we ultimately see the best in ourselves and in others. We also increases our ability to see the world around us in a different light. By trying to see the best in everything we find that good things are drawn to us, doors open and new opportunities appear out of the blue. Today the Universe is asking us to put on our rose colored glasses and see things in a new light. Acknowledge that you are an amazing being and that there is still much beauty and goodness in the world. Send love out and be open to receive the blessings that come back!




Archangel Jophiel helps to see the beauty within and around us. This beauty creates energy that is both positive and creative and helps set us free of negative actions and thoughts that keep us imprisoned. The Chinese goddess Kuan Yin helps to fill our hearts and souls with compassion for self and others. She tells us “”You are a beautiful soul and have so much to offer. I can guide you on the path of self love and help you to embrace the confidence you need to free your mind, heart and spirit.” And the Ascended Master Krishna helps to awaken us on a spiritual level. By accessing our own spirituality we find the path to seeing the best.




Our Sacred Stone for today is Larimar which helps us to acknowledge blessings of love on all levels.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

The Impact of Choice: Cat’s Angel Message for November 8, 2018 


 November’s Theme: Our goal this month lies in watching our thoughts.  Remember that POSITIVE opens and draws and NEGATIVE closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear.




In all things and in all ways, choice impacts virtually every element of our life. It bears repeating that even those things which seem out of reach of our choice are governed by how we choose to perceive them. – Mary Anne Radmacher 




118: The key word for today is balance. In order for things to fall into place and move forward our energies must be perfectly balanced between giving and receiving. Today we are being are asked to perform a self check up. Are you balanced or are you tipping the scales in either direction. By maintaining this balance we are allowing the Divine flow of abundance and prosperity to go out and return to us. This also helps us during periods of change and personal transformation. Our ability to stay balanced brings us untold blessings, opportunities and other goodies that we need to prosper. Stay centered and focused as you allow things to come full circle.




 Archangel Haniel can assist us today through grace and poise. She  tells us that by handling events and situation with grace helps our overall balance. The Ascended Master Buddha is the original “poster child” for balance. He teaches us that the way to inner peace can be found through balance and moderation. he reminds us that balance is achieved through gentle actions instead of forceful ones.  And the Egyptian Goddess Maat offers clarity through truth and by strengthening our integrity and commitment. She reminds us to “Honor yourself by being truthful. It is truth that creates order out of difficult or confusing situations. It is also truth that keeps your inner scales balanced, your energy free and your heart feather light.”




Our Sacred Stones for today are Opal which helps to promote harmony and balance. Green Amethyst helps balance the emotions and Yellow Jasper helps provide clarity on mental and emotional levels. It also starts us in a positive direction while helping us to find realistic and workable solutions.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Looking Inside: Cat’s Angel Message for November 3, 2018 


 November’s Theme: Our goal this month lies in watching our thoughts.  Remember that POSITIVE opens and draws and NEGATIVE closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear.




Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. – Carl Jung




113:  Today the Universe is giving us a little boost in the upbeat energy department. After yesterday’s peek into the future the Universe is reminding us that we have the power to make those visions a reality. You have the ability to do whatever makes your spirit sing and makes you feel whole. Embrace new challenges and opportunities without worrying about success, remember that enjoyment is part of the adventure). Your divine helpers are here to assist you and help things fall into place. It doesn’t matter whether others understand you or not so do your best to stay above the energies of those who want to rain on your parade. Walking away is in your overall best interest and will help nurture the thought seeds of yesterday!




Archangel Uriel gives us essential information that we need when we need it. This assists us during the manifestation process by enhancing our problem solving skills so that we can make the decisions that are best for our current situations. The Ascended Master Vywamus teaches us that change can be healing opportunity. This happens as we allow ourselves to let go of things that have held us back. Along the way we unearth talents that we had set aside, which will help us to move forward, and the Greek Goddess Persephone teaches us how to liberate ourselves from the things that are holding us back so that we can forge ahead on a new path. This lady has both an iron will and compassion. She tells us “Don’t be afraid to unearth what lies beneath. By shedding light in dark places we often find treasures we had forgotten. These treasure can form the foundations that you need.”




Our Sacred Stone for today is Blue Quartz (Clear Quartz with blue inclusions). This stone cleanses the energy of our outer environment as it supports peaceful interactions with those around us.  Blue Quartz also promotes clarity and eases any fear we may experience as we continue to explore.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Last October, I went to Louisiana to visit my brother and his son, Walker, who at that time had just turned five.

The first day I was there, the three of us went to a pumpkin patch in the swampy October heat, where my brother and I stood between haystacks and watched my four-foot-tall nephew hunt for the scariest pumpkin, before deciding on one so large my brother had to bend his knees a little to heave it in and out of the truck.

Coughing happens when viruses, bacteria, dust, pollen or other substances irritate the nerve endings in the airways between the throat and lungs. A cough is the body’s way of trying to clear the passages, and what a valiant effort the body makes in this endeavor.

Patheos-Pagan: Magical Properties of Seeds


The Seed as a Metaphor

Metaphorically seeds have been used to describe abstract ideas and influences that grow in our minds and souls. The seeds of desire are planted to inspire love and lust while seeds of doubt cause us to question our own motives and self worth. Seeds as ideas and inspiration are planted by teachers and mentors cultivating them in their students to grow into their full potential.

Inner Journey: 


CALM THE MIND


“All man’s miseries derive from not being able to sit quietly in a room alone.”

— Blaise Pascal


Meditation calms our minds and makes it easier for us to pay attention to the reality around and within us. Meditation breaks through the masks that have built up as our identity. It helps us see through our defences and connect with unacknowledged and unloved aspects of ourselves. It opens us to higher mind and the voice of intuition.


We can consciously choose meditation as a way to become more aware of who we truly are. If we don’t take the initiative to open to our authentic selves, we can be certain that deep challenge and pain from life experience will push us to awaken.


“Meditation helps me feel the shape, the texture of my inner life. Here, in the quiet, I can begin to taste what Buddhists would call my true nature, what Jews call the still, small voice, what Christians call the holy spirit.”

— Wayne Muller


“In a world filled with noise, we need to quiet ourselves to hear God’s voice.”

— Paul Borthwick

Self-Knowledge


“It is not only the most difficult thing to know oneself, but the most inconvenient, too.”


-Josh Billings


I guess from one point of view, life would be easier if we just had to get up and go to work everyday – we could pretty much be on auto-pilot and navigate through life without much effort. But what a waste of time and energy that would be. And how boring, too! Sure, spiritual growth takes effort – we need to make time to meditate, read, serve and take care of ourselves and the planet. But isn’t that the best part about this life? Once you get started on “the path” and see all the wonders that a spiritual life offers, you want to keep going. Sure, self-knowledge is difficult, messy, challenging, and inconvenient – but it is also the most magnificent and amazing gift that life has to offer.

The Open Road: Cat’s Angel Message for November 2, 2018 


 November’s Theme: Our goal this month lies in watching our thoughts.  Remember that POSITIVE opens and draws and NEGATIVE closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear.




Drive into your future looking at the open road ahead rather than into the rear-view mirror of your past. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




112:  Today the Universe is opening a window so that we may look ahead into   our own future. Like change, the future can be a scary thing. However, once again we are reminded that truth lies in our perspective and is all in how we choose to look at things. As you peek into the future ask yourself “Is where I am right now where I want to be in the future?”/ ” Am I allowing myself to move forward or am I letting fear and indecision dictate my thoughts and actions?” Remember to be honest with yourself. As we enter this new month take some time to plant a few positive thought seeds, this will pave the way for the future that we desire both for ourselves and our loved ones. Remember to stay focused on your goals and aspirations as you craft the future that you deserve. Your powers of manifestation are strong right now so use them to set things in motion!




Archangel Michael helps to take the necessary steps to keep us moving forward, he infuses our spirit with courage, self esteem and direction. Archangel Jeremiel, who is also helping out today, reminds us that concern about change is normal. Ask him to help you see your path clearly and to assist you in taking the necessary steps to embrace your future. The Greek goddess Artemis teaches us to access and honor our intuition. This virgin goddess, associated with the crescent moon and hunting, helps open the doors to new beginnings which is an essential part of change. As huntress she helps us to track our goals, dreams and desires as we move forward in our quest for evolution.




Our Sacred Stone for today is Chiastolite (aka Cross Stone/ Andalusite). This stone can help you find harmony and balance while bringing your purpose and visions of the future into focus.

Tonight … a constellation you might or might not see, depending on your latitude. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Big Dipper is probably the sky’s best known asterism. In other words, it’s a recognizable pattern of stars – not an official constellation. The Big Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major, otherwise known as the Great Bear.

Inner Journey: 


IT’S A MATTER OF BALANCE.


“My soul is the bridge between spirit and body and, as such, is a uniter of opposites. …Without soul at center, I would either transcend into spirit or become mired in matter.”

— Marion Woodman


Ram Dass talks of how his first spiritual goal was to be rid of his physical existence. He came to understand, though, that our spirituality lies in bringing higher consciousness to our world of form. When we can do so, we can delight in all aspects of creation.


Soul exists in the balance of spirit and matter. For a soulful life, we pay attention to both, seeing spiritual qualities in material forms. As our awareness grows, we begin to use consciousness to influence and create form. It’s through form that our spirit expresses.


“Walk in balance with one foot in your spiritual understanding and one foot in your physical world of accomplishment.”

— Lynn V. Andrews

Today’s Recipe: Walnut Potato Bread


By Jean Genie


I received a book last Christmas called “Whole Grain Vegan Baking” and have recently have had a lot of fun making the recipes in it. The jist of these recipes is they replace the egg and dairy with potatoes, squash, and other vegetables. Also oils and vegan yogurt.

Self-Knowledge


“A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us.”


-Antoine de Saint-Exupery


Sometimes one single event is all it takes to totally wake us up to the Truth that is here all the time. But for most of us, it is a process that gradually unfolds, giving us clues, hints, and glimpses of Reality in small doses so that we can assimilate them into our lives. We become familiar with who we are, we get to know ourselves day by day, as we come to understand and accept that we are much more than the roles we play.


-Lissa Coffey
