Venus Retrograde Ends. Mercury Retrograde begins, Nov. 16 WTF.
We are only, 6 more excruciating days away from Venus finally turning Direct. Thank Goddess for that. Venus’ station happens

How do we get through these last 6 days of the Retro which began on October 5th five weeks ago. I know it feels like a few lifetimes ago. Many people have gone through so many breakups its crazy. Everyone has reconsidered their relationships and their values. Its a huge time of cleansing and clearing with Chiron at the last degrees of PISCES
2018 will be remembered as the Retrograde Year I am sure.
And as a cruel twist of fate Mercury turns retrograde 14 hours later on the same day!
that means we only get 14 hours of breathing time…

Hirīmatā ca dujjīvaṃ

Rainbow Wave Ramping Up | Energy Update, 11/9-11/10/18
Check your physical symptoms – they are becoming quite noticeable now.
I posted about the rainbow wave Event or purple mist Event in March if anyone is interested in listening to that to get an idea of what they may experience.
All are experiencing this, whether it is conscious or unconscious depends on the perception, vibration, prior light integration, consciousness, timeline, etc. … the visual physical experience is conscious perception of the Rainbow wave Event. It is something you will NEVER forget!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Daily Words of the Buddha for November 10, 2018
jita — conquered, subdued, mastered, victory
Ayasāva malaṃ samuṭṭhitaṃ
tatuṭṭhāya tameva khādati,
evaṃ atidhonacārinaṃ

Just as rust arising from iron
eats away the base from which it arises,
even so, their own deeds
lead transgressors to states of woe.

The Truth About Magickal Women
Magickal Women – We are everything that you cannot believe we are, and more…
…including honest, sometimes beyond fault.
I did not know that this is what I was being taught I would Be, through all those years in the company of the …empowered…women in my life, throughout my life, and the ones who have no idea what they taught me, or more, the means through which I was taught that thing called Truth and the revealing of it.
Most of the time, it is not because we called it into Being, Truth….
…most of the time, we merely show up in the lives of certain others and at certain times because those certain others have called us into Being in their lives and typically they do not know that this is what they have done.
Always….it is the Goddess who prompts us to either answer those Truths, or, allow…

Card of the Day – Ace of Wands – Saturday, November 10, 2018
Another amazing card! By the way, this month we will see all four Aces! This is the second one, so stay tuned! What a week it has been! I have been watching the changes all around, sparking new beginnings for so many of you. Uranus is now back in Aries, bringing up issues where you felt you lost your power between March 11, 2011 and May 15, 2018. Today’s Ace of Wands is inspiring you to do the things necessary to take back your power and create the life of which you dream.
Jupiter is now in Sagittarius, its rightful home, until December 2, 2019, so, if you know where Jupiter is for you, you can begin to expect blessings in that area, bringing increased optimism to your outlook on life in general. The North and South Nodes are now in Cancer/Capricorn, shifting focus to that which will truly make…

ENERGY UPDATE – NOVEMBER 9, 2018
Thank you to the ones who are here with pure intent, encouraging others & speaking your truth without creating more division… Ive noticed Divine Feminines rising in every way right now and because of that- being attacked/gas lighted by the Masculine 3D archetype. Its not the person attacking you, slandering, gossiping, judging, etc… its the darkness attached to them or the darkness within them. And right now you will see the darkness with full transparency. STAY STRONG & FOCUS ON YOUR PATH NO MATTER WHAT.
The star family/galactic family says: “Humanity’s Upliftment” instead of Ascension so when I speak of “The Upliftment” in videos, it is the Ascension.
This shift is really going to start picking up, there will be an increase with the poles shifting very soon. As soon as we start seeing certain volcanic eruptions at specific energy points on the planet, that’s when we know the 3D matrix grid overlapping the natural grid system of The Mother energy, is removed at a level where the collective will be tuning in to the original memory structure of Gaia & galactic memories/template of humanity and sychronicity (4D) Stay strong if you’re dealing with a lot of changes & purging. Stay dedicated to your inner work. And remember, this is just a stop, not the destination💜 We each have different roles that evolve and grow over time… we are all pieces of the puzzle.
*We are each like flash drives of information or conduits needed in order for one system to fully operate.
If you have anything that you’ve been working on or if you’ve been sharing your experiences & would like to share, Feel free to link your channels, websites, etc.. in the comments for others to connect.
Daily Words of the Buddha for November 09, 2018
anoma — not inferior, superior, perfect, supreme
Acchecchi vaṭṭaṃ,
byagā nirāsaṃ.
Visukkhā saritā na sandati.
Chinnaṃ vaṭṭaṃ na vattati.
Esevanto dukkhassā.
One has broken the cycle,
attained freedom from desire.
The dried-up stream no longer flows.
The cycle, broken, no longer turns.
This, just this, is the end of misery.
Udāna 7.62
Hauʻōli aloha Pōʻalīma
Maikāʻi kākahiāka a pau e Hauʻōli aloha Pōʻalīma kākou. I kā pōmaikā’i oʻ kā lā. Ō kā maluhia nō me ʻoe.
Good morning and Happy Aloha Friday to all. Have a blessed day. Peace be with you.
Card of the Day – The Star – Friday, November 9, 2018
Have you been feeling the shift yet? The stars have been aligning this week to bring change, positivity, and increased optimism to many. The North and South nodes are now in Cancer and Capricorn, we are fresh off a glorious New Moon in Scorpio, and Jupiter is getting cozy at home in Sagittarius. Uranus is back in Aries, asking what parts of life you wish to fix. Think of events which occurred between March 11, 2011 and May 15, 2018; there are bound to be some you would like to permanently close the door. Once Uranus returns to Taurus on March 6, 2019, it will not return to Aries for eighty-four years.
Seeing the Star card brings a renewal of hope and optimism, very much indicated by this current Jupiter transit. It is like seeing another wish card and knowing that the Universe truly has your back.
See you here…

Yeah it is funny that I would title this writing “Believe” and of course, I do not until this moment realize the photo that I have chosen is of Cher.
I am a huge fan of Cher. Anyone who knows me knows this about me.
Right now there are things that I believe about me that are not that great, that make me cry, that make my heart just ache.
My intuition is serving me with a lot of shattered feelings, a lot of feeling dismembered, feeling like something is afoot, that something is about to become my reality and really, I am not certain that I am ready for it as much as I want to believe that I am.
I am terrified, really.
Of what, I have no clue – it is just there, and scaring the shit out of me. I realize that as the teacher of…

Card of the Day – 5 of Wands – Thursday, November 8, 2018
Today, Jupiter, the great benefic, giver of gifts and good luck, enters its home sign of Sagittarius to stay until December 2, 2019. It has been about thirteen years since we have seen Jupiter here, and it will open up tremendous possibilities for many. In the meantime, our Everyday Witches appear to be bickering, or, at the very least, trying to decide what will be the perfect recipe for success. This is a card of conflicts, struggles, and competition, but, it is also a good indicator that it is entirely possible to come together and find accords within one’s ranks.
Today’s 5 of Wands shows us that progress is doable now, and you should take it where you can get it. There will not be smooth, retrograde-free sailing until January 6, but you are poised to accomplish so much now, putting you in great shape for that January timeframe, with…

La’au Lapa’au | Food as Medicine Update: Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas, Convolvulaceae)
The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas, Convolvulaceae) is a trailing, herbaceous perennial in the morning glory family.1,2 It is indigenous to Central and South America and grows best in subtropical climates, spreading along the ground and producing oblong, tuberous roots. There are more than 400 sweet potato varieties, and most have yellow-brown or copper-colored skins with bright orange or yellow-red flesh.3 Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (OFSPs) are the most common varieties consumed, but white, cream, yellow, pink, and deep purple varieties also exist. The sweet potato plant has alternate, heart-shaped leaves and produces funnel-shaped white, pink, or rose-violet flowers that appear in clusters in the leaf axils as the plant matures.4
Taxonomic confusion can arise over the common name “yam” that often is given to sweet potatoes in the market. Botanically speaking, true yams belong to the genus Dioscorea (Dioscoreaceae) and are much less common in the United…

La’au Lapa’au | Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Compounds of Mexican Propolis
Propolis is made by bees from a combination of plant resins, wax, and saliva. It is used in the hive as a building material, disinfectant, and embalming agent. Propolis has many reported health benefits for humans, due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Multiple factors impact the composition of propolis, including location, the season of harvest, local flora, and species of bee. Mexico is a major honey producer, with production in Yucatán, Campeche, Jalisco, and Chiapas; each region producing propolis which contains a variety of active compounds. This study assessed the antioxidant properties of five samples of propolis from two states in Mexico.
Propolis samples were collected from five regions in Mexico; four from the state of Chiapas (1-4), and one from the state of Yucatán (5). Samples 1, 2, 3, and 5 were collected from Apis mellifera bee breeders, while sample 4 was collected from a wild colony…

The True North Node of the Moon, a Fated highest collective directive, our “True North” leaves the fiery, dramatic, leadership sign of Leo and enters the emotional, nurturing, watery, feminine sign of Cancer, the Mother, November 6th for the next 18 months until June 4, 2020.

Card of the Day – 4 of Wands – Wednesday, November 7, 2018
New Moon blessings, everyone! Today is the New Moon in Scorpio and it falls smack dab in the middle of the biggest week of the year! Scorpio can not take the credit for all of the intensity in the air this week, but you can claim this powerful transformational New Moon for yourself to really put the wheels in motion for your changes. Karmic moments abound here, and one can not help but notice.
The 4 of Wands is all about celebrations and community, making it one of the most sought-after, popular cards of the Tarot. It is no typical Wednesday, and there are bound to be many things which one can be celebrating. The community aspect of this card is very important to you today. It would seem that your reaction, whether it be cheers or boos, very much depends upon your affiliations. On a global, more communal scale…
