Spirit Library: Pisces ~ Energy of the Month
a message from Kelly M. Beard
As we enter the current Pisces energy, many people will be feeling more sensitive than usual, picking up all kinds of information via all six senses. Over-sensitivity that disrupts your flow and takes you away from your center is one thing, but a better way to think of this energy is to ponder the concept of how sound penetrates when you put your head under water.

ThoughtCo: Living a Magical Life
People find themselves drawn to Paganism and Wicca for a variety of reasons. Some may be trying to escape some other religion. Others may be looking for a sense of personal empowerment. Still, others may realize that the beliefs they’ve held all along are in tune with those of a Pagan path.

Daily Good: Accepting What Is
“When the word acceptance enters a room, but is never far behind. But what about suffering and injustice? What about the pursuit of our personal goals? What about our individual and collective potential? As soon as the idea of acceptance surfaces, we seem to, ironically, brace ourselves against it as though it will render us incapable of anything other than complacency and apathy.” This thoughtful passage explores other ways of approaching acceptance. { read more }

Elephant Journal: Screw Gratitude: Why we All Need an “It’s Not Fair” Journal Instead.
I remember sitting on the couch in my therapist’s office, my simple, lined journal open in my lap with the attached ribbon bookmark perfectly placed like the good patient I was.
Each week was like this: I would write down things I wanted to discuss throughout the week, and we would approach each topic as if it were an item on a grocery list.

EarthSky News: For those at southerly latitudes, Canopus!
Tonight, think about – or look for – a star that northern stargazers rarely see. It’s Canopus, and it’s the second-brightest star in the entire sky. That means this star is easily visible, even on a moonlit night.

Patheos-Pagan: The Wortcunner, the Witch, and the Plant Spirits
It is rumored in folklore that the witches of days gone by where taught the wisdom of the wortcunner, herbal lore and ways taught by the magickal folk… the fae, elves, and spirits of the wood. The word wortcunner is defined by the word Wort meaning “root,” or herb,” and cunning (from the Middle English cunnen) meaning “to know.”

Inner Journey:
SMART QUESTIONS TO KEEP HANDY
“Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”
— Anthony Robbins
Last time, we talked about questions to avoid. Today, let’s consider some that are truly empowering:
• Is there a message for me in this experience?
• What’s the gift in this situation?
• What can I learn from this?
• What’s the most loving thing I could do now?
• What’s the most important thing for me to focus on now?
• What would I do if I knew I could not fail?
• What would I do if there were nothing to fear?
“A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.”
— Francis Bacon

A Note from the Universe
You know how sometimes when you visualize you end up daydreaming, too?
Or when you finally remember to perform an act of faith, it feels kind of hokey?
Or sometimes you catch yourself worrying, or thinking too much about the past, or wondering whether or not you have invisible limiting beliefs holding you back?
Well, that’s exactly what all Illuminates go through (especially the good-looking ones). But they arrive in spite of it, and so will you.
Worry not; just keep chugging.
Hugs,
The Universe

Sharing
“Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed and hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world.”
-John Lennon (1940-1980)
With the world in such a state of flux, it might be difficult to imagine ALL the people sharing all the world… but it is not impossible. There’s a saying: “Think Globally, Act Locally.” If we each started there, kind of a “grass roots” or “backyard” approach, imagine the impact we could make house by house, neighborhood by neighborhood, community by community.
-Lissa Coffey

Your fearless approach to romance is going to pay off, says the Emperor. You’re working hard to put yourself in the position to be able to sustain a long-term successful relationship, and all of your efforts are starting to come to fruition. Be willing to take responsibility for past romantic failures, but don’t let them get in the way of future success.
