MBG: You Know Your Astrological Compatibility — But What About Numerology?
Relationship compatibility is naturally everyone’s favorite topic when it comes to astrology and numerology. While I believe any number can be with any number, compatibility can be examined through a couple’s Life Path Numbers. The Life Path speaks to a person’s core set of values and traits, which are forever present in an individual’s personality. (Here’s how to quickly calculate it using your birth date.)

Daily Good: The Wayfinders: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World
What is even more astonishing is that the entire science of wayfinding is based on dead reckoning. You only know where you are by knowing precisely where you have been and how you got to where you are.

The Wayfinders: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World
Wade Davis, anthropologist and passionate scholar of indigenous cultures that span the globe, shares the value of learning from these dynamic, living societies, as we face the challenges threatening the earth. He takes us on a journey to “the heart of the world” and asks the question, “What does it actually mean for a people to believe that the earth is resonant and alive and responsive to their desires and that they themselves have a reciprocal obligation to that landscape?” { read more }

Elephant Journal: Life Lessons from our Cats.
There’s no better teacher in life than a cat.
Well, maybe apart from the greats like Buddha and Dalai Lama, to name a couple.
Cats have been creatures who brighten up our day and send our hearts into a tizzy when they purr and meow. They’ve done this soothing for centuries. However, they can teach us many things about life too.

EarthSky News: Moon, Jupiter, Saturn August 27-29
These next several evenings – August 27, 28 and 29, 2020 – watch for the waxing gibbous moon to flit by the gas giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn. The king planet Jupiter, the brighter of these two worlds, easily outshines any star in the starry heavens. Although Jupiter shines some 8 times more brilliantly than Saturn does, the ringed planet is nonetheless no slouch.

Patheos-Pagan: Refrigerator Remedies, and Making Time For Magic
If you’d walked into my grandmothers house back when I was just a little girl, you might not have guessed that she was a witch, certainly she wouldn’t have called herself that. She’d have said she was cunning folk.

Inner Journey: KNOW YOURSELF
“What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.”
— Abraham H. Maslow
STOP AND PAY ATTENTION! Set an intention to be more aware. Become a watcher, of yourself and what’s around you. Develop the witness, the part of you that can step back from life and impartially observe how you react and think and feel. We learn so much aboutwho we are!
“Knowing others is wisdom; knowing the self is enlightenment.”
— Tao Te Ching
“The true profession of man is to find his way to himself.”
— Hermann Hesse

A Note from the Universe
I want for you what you want for yourself.
What you want, therefore, is quite literally what I want.
But do you realize that you can’t get “there,” without me, just as I can’t get “there,” without you.
That the things I can do, you cannot? And that the things you can do, I cannot?
That’s big… and so is what we can do when we work together.
You’re just another part of me,
The Universe

Cause and Effect
“In the spiritual life, every cause is also an effect, and every effect is at the same time a cause.”
-Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
What came first? We don’t know what came first because there is no beginning, and there is no end. What is real is eternal, and timeless. And even though there is no timeline, there is perfect order, perfect organization, definite purpose. So here we are, a part of it all, a cause and also an effect
-Lissa Coffey

Daily Tarot: The World
Take your place in the World and be in your element all day long. Your practical mind and easy nature let you cruise through the regular maze that is daily life. If anything out of the ordinary arises, you’ll know instinctively how to approach it and resolve things to your satisfaction. Today may not be easy or effortless but it will be rich in success and approval – from yourself and probably others as well.
