Daily Words of the Buddha for July 14, 2018

Pāli Word a Day for July 14, 2018 == avyāpajjha — kindness of heart; freedom from suffering

Sahassamapi ce vācā anatthapadasaṃhitā
ekaṃ atthapadaṃ seyyo,
yaṃ sutvā upasammati.

Better than a thousand useless words
is one useful word,

Card of the Day – 2 of Swords – Saturday, July 14, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

What lies ahead? Between all of the retrorades, there are currently five, and an Eclipse season with three eclipses rather than two, who could possibly know what twists and turns there will be. There are several more weeks of this to navigate, so be patient with yourself, especially should you feel unable to make a decision. You are not stuck, even if you feel your inability to see what is going on is preventing you from moving forward right now.

Give this feeling a couple of days, perhaps until Monday, or Tuesday, for you still have some sorting out left to do. In the long run, it is all for the better, so, for today, use the tranquility represented in this card to maintain peace in your corner of the world.

See you here tomorrow!

Card of the Day – The Tower – Friday, July 13, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Well, here it is! The cards have been pushing you to break out and break free, and for there to be some form of release. The Tower pretty much lets everything loose at once, so to speak. I have been saying massive change is on the horizon; it has arrived with yesterday’s New Moon Supermoon Partial Solar Eclipse at 20° Cancer. This Eclipse was in direct opposition to Pluto, signaling the time has come for transformation to the extreme. There was also a trine with Saturn and Uranus, creating a very harmonious vibe for you, leaving you with no choice but to break out and set yourself free.

When the Tower appears, it can bring about the complete abolition of a way of life, but, in this particular case, I feel that most are only seeing the greatest changes with regards to the areas which have needed them the most…

Pantry Profile: Basil {Ocimum basilicum}

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Bright green, tall, and aromatic, basil is a beauty. An ancient plant with a long history and strange folklore, its sweet, peppery flavor has been used for centuries in cuisine and medicine.

Basil is native to Africa and Southeast Asia and was eventually cultivated in the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Roman scholar Pliny the Elder described basil’s {now well-known} benefits as a carminative and digestive, explaining its effectiveness in relieving flatulence, colic, and nausea. It also has a long history of use for coughs associated with colds, and the leaves were routinely used topically as an insect repellent and poultice to relieve bug bites and stings.

Much myth and legend surrounded this plant we now consider a simple culinary herb. The ancient Egyptians believed basil would entice the god Osiris to open the gates of the afterlife. In his book the English Physician Enlarged, 17th-century botanist Nicholas Culpeper…

Reclaiming Friday the 13th Solar eclipse

Tara Greene www.taratarot.com's avatarTara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

Friday the 13th and a Solar Eclipse in GMT and parts East of North America

The very powerful Cancer North Node Solar eclipse also falls on Friday the 13th is many areas of the world. Take it as another sign of The Divine Feminine reclaiming the #13 as a sacred Number- the number of lunar cycles in a Year.

Most people are very superstitious

Are you superstitious? Were you born under a bad sign?  The scientific name for fear of #13 is called triskadekaphobia and the fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia. Why is the #13 feared and supposed to be bad? The origin of the number 13 needs to be understood and shifted from fear and superstition.

The fear of #13 is really a misogynist brainwash which originated with the Catholic church.

 I love #13. The truth will set you free. Pet a black cat today and break a…

Pāli Word a Day for July 12, 2018 — sabbaganthappamocana — freedom from all bonds

Sabbe saṅkhārā aniccā.
Yadā paññāya passati,
atha nibbindati dukkhe;
esa maggo visuddhiyā.

Impermanent are all compounded things.
When one perceives this with true insight,
then one becomes detached from suffering;
this is the path of purification.

Card of the Day – 7 of Swords – Thursday, July 12, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

New Moon blessings to all! Today, or tomorrow, depending upon where you live, we will have a New Moon Supermoon Partial Solar Eclipse at 20° Cancer. Things are ready to shift in a very big way. The politics of life; very often to make it through the day, you need to use one face for this person, and one face for another. It is not about being two-faced at all, rather playing things close to the vest and not showing your complete hand for whatever reason. I am not at all surprised to see this after yesterday’s 8 of Swords (stay tuned to tomorrow), for there is some form release taking place in the lives of many.

We seem to have a theme going on here, one which I explain better in my Patreon video – Eclipse Season #2 of 2018 https://patreon.com/tarotbycecelia/ – let’s just say it is not all…

Card of the Day – 8 of Swords – Wednesday, July 11, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

When I first began this blog, over three years ago, this was the most frequent card which I would draw as the Tarot Card of the Day. Nowadays, when it shows up, it is less frequent, and also taking on a whole new vibe. Tomorrow is a New Moon Supermoon Partial Solar Eclipse in Cancer, which promises not to disappoint, especially since there is so much more happening than just a straight up typical New Moon.

Saturn (restriction), will be in a harmonious trine with Uranus (shock, surprise, release) at the time of the New Moon, and obviously you are already feeling this. Pluto also is in on the action, poised to transform your life in some dramatic fashion; I discuss this in my Eclipse Season #2 of 2018 video, exclusive to the $10 tier on Patreon https://patreon.com/tarotbycecelia – Over the coming weeks, you are being released from situations which…

The things we learned (but donʻt know yet that we learned)

ReverendRoxie22's avatarThe Ghetto Allegory

IMG_20180413_185714

The things that we learn from our experiences are the things that also, we teach…

This is not news to anyone, the fact that the things that we learn, that we do not know we are learning, that we go through and that feel like our lives have turned on us are the things that, as these people who help others learn to heal their lives, we also will teach.

Right now, I am learning the fine art of letting go, am relearning and honing my own prowess with Hoʻoponopono healing, and am pretty much seeing in all of it more of who, and more importantly, what, I Am.

What I was reminded of, throughout these last three months, is that when there are things that allow someone elseʻs ego to thrive, and when it feels like your soul is in need of rest, that it is time, right in…

New Moon Supermoon Partial Solar Eclipse 20° Cancer – Thursday, July 12, 2018 10:48pm EST

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

This is an emotion-packed New Moon with so much happening in the skies, that it will be difficult to know which events to attribute to what. Nevertheless, it is all designed to move you along toward your hopes and dreams. Success is possible only when you truly know what it is that you hope to achieve. Given all of the retrogrades, and a trine, and an opposition, etc., you will likely worry about the outcomes because you can not see everything which is going on behind the scenes. Do your best to remain grounded through this and focus on your own security and power, not in a selfish way, but more in a self-care type of way. You can be of no use to others when you do not take care of you. Balance the give-and-take in your life; eclipses do their thing by clearing away what is no longer…
