Exemplore: How to Read Birds as Omens and Signs
Since ancient times, people have looked to the heavens for signs, and since birds fly, it makes sense that people would perceive birds as messengers of the gods or fates. After all, a bird’s-eye-view is significantly more omniscient than an earthbound perspective.

Is the summer sun starting to get to you? In Ayurveda, the world’s oldest system of health and healing, the heat of this time of year is thought to cause the vata dosha (the bioforce responsible for movement) and pitta dosha (the bioforce responsible for all transformation and digestion) to manifest in different ways.

On August 7, 8 and 9, 2020, look eastward before going to bed, and you might just catch the waning gibbous moon and red planet Mars. After this brilliant twosome rises, the moon and Mars will travel westward across the nighttime sky. They’ll reach their high point for the night at or near morning dawn.

Patheos-Pagan: Why You Should Practice Divination Before Magickal Work
Admittedly, it’s been while since I’ve read a book on witchcraft. However, I don’t recall ever reading the advice to practice some sort of divination before doing any spell work in most of the books I’ve read.

Inner Journey:
NATURAL VIBRATIONS
“I sing the body electric.”
— Walt Whitman
The water that makes up so much of our bodies is like oceann water. The salt crystals in this water vibrate at ever-changing frequencies. Our hearts are the emotional centers of our bodies, and they put out frequencies that are 10 times the power of the frequencies of our brains.
When we are happy, we vibrate at a higher frequency than when we are angry or sad. Our emotions change the chemical composition of the water in our systems. That’s why happy tears taste different than tears of sadness.
Experiencing physical, emotional and mental stillness harmonizes the vibrational output of the body, heart and mind and we become stronger.
“The message we give our bodies — one of irritation or acceptance — is the message to which our bodies will answer.”
— Deb Shapiro

A Note from the Universe
Question: What would it take, what would have to happen in your life these days, for you to allow yourself to really kick back, relax, and just enjoy?
Answer: Whatever it is, whatever, you will achieve it, earn it, acquire it, or experience it so much faster if you first kick back, relax, and just enjoy.

Interdependence
“We all act as hinges – fortuitous links between other people.”
-Penelope Lively, 1987
Hinges open doors! Isn’t this great? We have the power, and the privilege, to open doors for people, to create opportunities, to make life better! And when we work together, doors come flying open, one right after the next. It can be easy if we are “open” to helping each other.
-Lissa Coffey

Daily Tarot: Temperance
Patience is your secret weapon to face down all obstacles today. Take your good old time to make sure you understand what needs to be done, for whom, why, and how. This methodical approach may not be your natural or favorite one, and it might annoy someone who has a different opinion of how urgent the issue is. Nonetheless, patience will get you through the day with fewer, if any, mishaps
