Musings …

Sometimes it’s easier to hold onto some things than it is to share them because sharing means opening up … it means letting people in … it means exposing the things that hurt us, embarrass us, haunt us. That’s why so many of us try to hide the things that scare us. We hoard them away. Trouble is … if you’re not careful, all that baggage … it can crush you.

Card of the Day – The Tower – Saturday, January 26, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

I am not a believer of coincidence.  The last time we saw this card was July 13, the day after the Cancer Solar Eclipse, and here we are again, very much in Eclipse energy following the Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo on the 21st.  Yesterday, we reached a turning point, and one way or the other, things are about to become interesting.  For a very long time, I have been referring to the battle between good and evil, and said that good would win, and I am certain many days you have doubted this.

The Tower signifies drastic change, often instantaneously, with the tearing down of old structure in order to erect new ones.  Here, this image from the Major Barkana, a deck-in-progress, we can see the dog trying to build a wall, but ultimately he fails, and his hopes come crashing down around him.  Unlike our unfortunate pooch here…

Card of the Day – 3 of Wands – Thursday, January 24, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

The cards certainly have a theme going on this week – planning, delays in plans, and planning ahead for the future. It would appear that even if things did not go according to plan at the beginning of the week, that you know the future is still on the horizon. So, when you know the changes are coming, what do you do? You prepare. I think that any amount of preparedness is a good thing, as long as you realize the Universe is still going to have its way.

Perhaps you are trying to put all of your ducks in a row, knowing that change is indeed imminent. Today is about what you do in anticipation of these changes. There is no doubt in my mind that you know they are on the way, and a little foresight on your part can definitely aid you further down the line. That…

atthasaṃhitā — attha + saṃhitā = aim, purpose, goal, profit, advantage, gain, good + possessed with, connected with, bringing – connected with bringing good, with the goal, useful, profitable, having meaning

Diso disaṃ yaṃ taṃ kayirā,
verī vā pana verinaṃ;
micchāpaṇihitaṃ cittaṃ
pāpiyo naṃ tato kare.

Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy,
or a foe to a foe,
the ill-directed mind
can do to you even worse.

Card of the Day – Knight of Wands – Wednesday, January 23, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Change is in the air. By all counts, you probably already know what the changes should be. Delays, however, may be preventing you from moving forward at the pace, and in the direction, you thought you should be. One thing is for certain, you are passionate about seeing these changes through to fruition.

Our Knight of Wands is the Bringer of Change, but his direction is not always straight as an arrow. With Mars still in Aries until February 14, it is possible to make rash moves in the interest of change. This Knight, at times, can be a bit too impulsive, so do be careful not to do something you may later come to regret.

See you here tomorrow!

Yadūnakaṃ taṃ saṇati,

Card of the Day – 3 of Pentacles – Tuesday, January 22, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

For many of you, at least here in the United States, today may be your Monday this week. It is a good day to assemble the troops and put together a game plan. Perhaps you attend a meeting to strategize your actions for the coming weeks. It is also possible that this is a more personal matter, requiring you to find the right people to help you get the job done. As far as aspects and transits go, the skies have been very busy. Today there is a glorious conjunction between Venus (love, money, beauty) and Jupiter (good fortune, expansion, the big picture). It is in your best interest to know where this energy is beneficial to you, with both currently in Sagittarius.

The time is here to get it together, what ever IT is. It is also important to remember that no plan is perfect and may need some…

Card of the Day – 7 of Cups – Monday, January 21, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

img_7120

Again, Full Moon blessings, everyone! We are in the heart of the Leo Eclipse, and it is a Total Lunar Eclipse at that. As previously stated, there is so much happening right now, that an Eclipse of this magnitude, being a Supermoon and at 0, one can not possibly have a clear view to know which way the wind is blowing. The 7 of Cups today shows us just how confounded we may all be by the “What should I do?”s.

It is possible for it all to feel a tad bit overwhelming at the moment, for while the 7 of Cups can represent wishful thinking and daydreaming, it is currently saying that something is absolutely too much. More than likely you find yourself faced with options, but no knowledge of the consequences which could be related to your choices. Choice does not always come easy during Eclipse season, and…

An Open Letter To People Who Boil Animals Alive

https://goo.gl/images/PTby8G

Dear Reader,
Being boiled alive is easily one of the worst ways to dieImagine this:

As boiling water touches your body, your extremities are the first to burn. These extremities include your fingertips, which have more nerve endings than many other areas of your body.

Once your outer layers are “cooked,” your organs will begin to heat up until the liquid in your body starts boiling them. Your entire body will turn red and start to blister. You may even smell yourself boiling. (Are you gagging yet? Did the body-boiling-your-organs line get you?)

You’ll feel the intense pain. It will be prolonged. And you’ll be conscious for most of it, provided your brain doesn’t boil first. It’s not a quick death by any means.

I always knew how horrible boiling animals alive was. So much so that I refused to eat animals killed in this way (mainly lobsters) before I went vegan. Even as a child I knew what it felt like to be burned by boiling water and steam simply from cooking pasta. I couldn’t imagine inflicting that pain on an animal’s entire body.

I was appalled last week reading of a restaurant in Maine that purportedly gets lobsters stoned before boiling them alive. Can you even believe? […]

Nova Scotia to allow First people to swear on eagle feathers rather than a Bible

The RCMP has officially introduced eagle feathers into the Nova Scotia justice system.

On Monday the force announced the feather is being added alongside affirmations and the Bible as an object to swear upon while giving a testimony under oath.

“To wear or to hold an eagle feather causes our creator to take immediate notice,” explained Donald Julien, a member of the Mi’kmaq community and former veteran for the Canadian Armed Forces and United Nations. He emphasised the important symbolism of the eagle feather to First Nations people. “[This is a] wonderful show of understanding and the acknowledgement of our traditional ways of expressing our prayer,” he said.
