Spiritual Unite SPIRITUAL MEANING OF HOLDING A KEY IN A DREAM: UNLOCKING THE DOOR TO PERSONAL GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION
Dreams are truly fascinating, aren’t they? They are this great realm of our psyche where the common and the extraordinary merge, often weaving narratives that leave us puzzled upon awakening.

The Attributes of Two
I always think of two as being a gentle, feminine number. When I was pregnant with my youngest child, I drew a tarot card to see if it was a boy or a girl. The card was the Two of Cups. Absolutely a girl. And she is.

Treehugger: These Special Bees Craft Nests From Flower Petals
The colorful papier-mache cocoons provide a safe haven for bringing baby bees into the world.
Back in 2009, in a coincidence that was clearly instigated by flower fairies, two separate teams of scientists stumbled upon the exquisite handiwork of Osmia avosetta bees.

EarthSky News: Exquisite Albireo, a much-loved double star
Albireo is 2 stars
Albireo, also known as Beta Cygni, is the second-brightest star in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. At first glance, it doesn’t particularly stand out. But viewing this star through a small telescope can take your breath away.

Patheos-Pagan: The Moon’s Nodes; soul evolution
JULY 12, 2023 BY STARLYS
As I type, the Moon’s Nodes are hovering exactly on the cusp of Scorpio and Taurus and in just a few hours will move back into Libra and Aries. All of the planets have Nodes, which simply means the point where the orbit of the heavenly body intersects with the ecliptic.

Inner Journey:
A FOCUS ON YOU OR ME?
“Our deepest need is for the joy that comes with loving and being loved, with knowing we are of genuine use to others.”
— Eknath Easwaran
Are you more self-conscious or other-conscious?
Watch your motives for the day. Are they generally about you (your own desires and needs) or are they about others and their needs? There are no right and wrong answers here.
We must guard, though, that we aren’t using service to others as a means to get our own ego needs met. If we are, we would be wise to meet our own needs first so our interactions with others are not primarily self- serving.
“We are able to be of service to those who suffer only to the extent that we have been able to transform fear in our own lives.”
— Robert Sardello

A Note from the Universe
Not everyone can say they’re all-powerful, eternal, loved beyond imagination, and followed around by hordes of angels.
Well… yeah, actually, they can.
But the point is, do you?
Love,

Today’s Recipe: Chili Garlic Shrimp
Try this slightly spicy chili garlic shrimp for dinner tonight. Honestly, the trickiest part of this dish is making the sauce, but you can easily make it early in the day and refrigerate. If you do, your dish will be done in a flash! Serve as an appetizer with toothpicks, or as a main dish with rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Today’s Tarot: Friday: The Tower
People may be expecting or needing you to be laid-back and easy to deal with but your own inclinations may make you seem more difficult and demanding. You may see yourself as just being direct while others consider you as being tactless. Save yourself a lot of grief and use extra care with your words and actions. If someone gets bent out of shape, try to catch it instantly and stop it as soon as you can.
