Spirit Library: Feminine power rising – Venus is a morning star
Kari Samuels
Something special happened this weekend. We’re past the midpoint of Venus’ retrograde journey.
She began her sojourn in Leo as an evening star. For a few days disappeared from our view as she traveled close to the Sun. Now, she is reemerging as a morning star – bright in her beauty and bolding shining in the sky while the Sun illuminates her brilliance.

Fall Is the Best Time to Make Your Necklace
When autumn comes to Britain and Ireland, the trees and hedgerows come to life with bright bunches of berries. Typically, September is the month to gather and use the fruits for jams, jellies, wines, and of course, magical purposes!

Have you ever seen the moon pass in front of a bright star, temporarily blocking it for a period of time? We’ll get a chance to see the moon pass in front of the bright star Antares in the constellation of Scorpius the Scorpion on August 24, 2023. The reddish star will disappear under the darkened limb of the half-lit moon. Then Antares will reemerge from behind the lit portion of the moon.

Inner Journey: REFLECT ON YOUR LIFE
“Reflection is one of the most underused yet powerful tools for success.”
— Richard Carlson
Regularly, take time to reflect on what has been happening in your life. Step back to work ON your life instead of IN it. See yourself as the C.E.O. of your own personal company, or as the captain of your own ship. Are you navigating the waves as well as you might?
Stepping back helps us see a bigger, more inclusive picture. Small events make more sense in the bigger scheme of things.
“Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.”
— James Levin

Today’s Tarot: Wednesday
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.
Today’s Tarot; Thursday
The Magician: You have your A game going today, but don”t let it go to your head. As the Magician, you”re at your most capable. If someone tries to spring a surprise request on you, you”ll probably see it coming. Be low-key, don”t build expectations, and then excel. So long as your ego doesn”t exceed good sense, you”ll be able to accomplish just about anything!
