The hollow winds begin to blow,
The clouds look black, the glass is low;
The soot falls down, the spaniels sleep,
And spiders from their cobwebs peep.
-Dr. Edward Jenner (1749-1823)

EarthSky News: Use the Big Dipper to find the Goat Star
Tonight – or any autumn or winter evening – if you can see the Big Dipper, use two of its bowl stars to find the bright golden star Capella in the constellation Auriga the Charioteer. Some of you may already know how to use famous pointer stars on the outside of the bowl to find Polaris, the North Star. And it’s the top two bowl stars that guide you to Capella. We depict both methods on the chart at the top of this post.

Inner Journey: MIND CONTROL
“Concentration is the ability to think about absolutely nothing when it is absolutely necessary.”
— Ray Knight
“Eventually, meditation will make our mind calm, clear, and as concentrated as a laser which we can focus at will. This capacity of one-pointed attention is the essence of genius. When we have this mastery over attention in everything we do, we have a genius for life itself: unshakable security, clear judgment, and deep personal relationships.”
— Eknath Easwaran
“The successful man is the average man, focused.”

A Note from the Universe
“Happily-ever-after,” I’m happy to tell you, begins with “happily”… in more ways than one.
So the next time a loved one sets out to find it, maybe have them consider that the trail may turn frosty, if it’s not set out upon happily.

Daily Wisdom

Emotion
“Ninety percent of our lives is governed by emotion. Our brains merely register and act upon what is telegraphed to them by our bodily experience. Intellect is to emotion as our clothes are to our bodies: we could not very well have civilized life without clothes, but we would be in a poor way if we had only clothes without bodies.”
-Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947)
We need both heart and head to function in this world. And we function best when they are working in tandem. There is a reason why we are wired this way, and we figure it out when we try to use one too much without the other.
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The High Priestess
From the moment your eyes open, you’ll know that you’re not the one in charge today. That’s fine, too. Intuition is sharp and will not lead you astray, no matter what oddness the world tosses at you. Any challenges or problems will prove to be small ones. Keep a low profile, speak calmly and softly (when appropriate), and glide through a very lucky day
