Vacīduccaritaṃ hitvā,

Let one guard oneself against irritability in speech;
let one be controlled in speech.
Abandoning verbal misconduct,
let one practice good conduct in speech.

Welina mai a Hau’ōli Aloha Pō’alima a me nā kānaka! ‘Ua maikā’i i no pule kikipani me ‘ohana a me nā hoaloha. Ō kā maluhia no me ‘oe.
Warmest greetings and Happy Aloha Friday, People! Have a great weekend with family and friends. Peace be with you.
August 11 2018 is a new Moon eclipse in Leo. Fire sign Leo rules the fifth house of creativity, romance, and children. Leos are know for their lion heart, made stronger on this new Moon as Venus trines Mars. This very fortunate aspect brings love, compassion, and appreciation in relationships. What’s hidden in the heart is felt more deeply during an eclipse, and this is the final eclipse of 2018.
The Sun, new Moon, and Mercury are all in Leo to start a lunar month of self expression and generosity. Personal power and a strong sense of ego can blend well with working together to create opportunities. Jupiter squares the Sun, Moon, and Mercury so people could bite off more than they can chew. Yet there’s little interest in details or following plans because…
This new Moon starts the month of…

Balance, patience and moderation are the three most common meanings of this card. With all of the current retrograde energy, and tomorrow’s Leo Solar Eclipse, things may feel anything but balanced. Seeking that necessary balance, through proper focus, can be very helpful now. Over the course of this next week, and even beyond, there is a form of leveling out taking place here. Curbing excessive behaviors which may be impeding your progress is beneficial to your long-term goals. Anything which diverts your focus and prevents balance can be up for review. Common topics I usually bring up with the Temperance card are drinking, drugs, cell phones and devices, gambling, and any other type of obsession which means something else is not receiving its proper attention.
As this ‘leveling out’ occurs, things can come back into proper focus and life not only becomes more balanced, but ultimately more peaceful. The Temperance…

Those to whom the Dhamma is clear
are not led into other doctrines;
perfectly enlightened with perfect knowledge,
they walk evenly over the uneven.

I don’t think I need to remind anyone that it is Eclipse season, and the third and final, a New Moon Supermoon Partial Solar Eclipse at 18° Leo, is only two days away. The Death card is indeed very appropriate at this time; the Death card gets a bad rap and is probably the most feared card of the Tarot, together with the Tower and the 3 of Swords. Let’s just say there is no such thing as a bad Tarot card. However, it is not uncommon to see people eclipsed from our lives in this very permanent manner. This Eclipse is in Leo; the Sun and Mercury are currently there as well. Remember, the lion is king, and the sign of Leo is one of royalty and celebrity. It is normal at this time that we hear of the passing of life’s true icons.
Those of you who have…

Today is 8/8/18, otherwise known as the lionsgate portal, brought to you courtesy of the Sun in Leo, the star Sirius, and the Earth. To make today even more special, the Sun, which is currently at home in Leo, is conjunct retrograde Mercury, which is also in Leo. This is a great day for communcating, despite Mercury’s retrograde. The Sun amplifies this and helps add to the clarity of your words and your thoughts. Be certain to make them count.
Normally, when we see the 8 of Pentacles, everyone is all about not knowing how to find a solution for a particular situation which may have had you feeling really trapped. This card is likely the most frequent visitor to the blog, but, ultimately, it is all about you and your perceptions. Remember, the only one who can stop you is you. Harness the energy of today’s conjunction, together with…

Diso disaṃ yaṃ taṃ kayirā,

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

Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Welina mai ōukōu a me hau’ōli lā Pō’alua. Ē Ōla ʻole Lōkahi. Ō kā maluhia no me ʻoe.
Warm greetings to you all and a Happy Tuesday. Let’s live in harmony. Peace be with you.
Wipe away the tears and turn your back on any losses or disappointments which you may have incurred. Shut that door firmly and prepare for new beginnings chock full of abundance. Bear in mind that Uranus does things in a very unorthodox manner, so it can bring both endings and beginnings quite abruptly, not leaving you time to pick up the pieces. Focus on that which is whole and good in your life, and before Uranus backpedals into Aries on November 6 you will have found reason to celebrate, likely by the tail-end of October. There is a tremendous urge to break out and break free from that which binds you. The opportunity will present itself to you by November.
Success over struggles is possible; you may have been feeling disillusioned after encountering a brick wall more times than you care to count. Uranus will remove the barriers on your…

Warm greetings and happy Aloha Monday to each of you! Strive to reach the highest. Peace be with you.

One by one, little by little, moment by moment,
a wise one should remove one’s own impurities,
