Card of the Day – 8 of Swords – Wednesday, August 8, 2018

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…

Daily Words of the Buddha for August 08, 2018

Kāyappakopaṃ rakkheyya;
kāyena saṃvuto siyā.
Kāyaduccaritaṃ hitvā,
kāyena sucaritaṃ care.
Let one guard oneself against irritability in bodily action;
let one be controlled in deed.
Abandoning bodily misconduct,
let one practice good conduct in deed.
Dhammapada 17.231

Daily Words of the Buddha for August 07, 2018

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.
Udāna 4.33
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Hau’ōli lā Pō’alua

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.

Through the Eyes of Tarot – Uranus Retrograde – August 7, 2018 through January 6, 2019

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…

Yadūnakaṃ taṃ saṇati,

the full is always quiet.
The fool is like a half-filled pot,
the wise one is like a deep still pool.

Daily Words of the Buddha for August 05, 2018

Anupubbena medhāvī, thokaṃ thokaṃ, khaṇe khaṇe,
Kammāro rajatasseva,

One by one, little by little, moment by moment,
a wise one should remove one’s own impurities,
as a smith removes dross from silver.

Card of the Day – 4 of Cups – Saturday, August 4, 2018

Welcome to the weekend! The Moon will be in Taurus today, its sign of exaltation. Do not be surprised if you were planning on doing so much and you turn into a veritable couch potato, snacking on potato chips and brownies, and binging on Netflix. The 4 of Cups can be all about the boredom, and with the Taurus Moon, just chillaxing may be in order.
However, the 4 of Cups is also about things such as contemplation and meditation. Currently, the energies may not be such so as to move forward with something new, but you can certainly review your ever-changing status quo. Remember, while you may be uncertain as to what you truly want, half the battle is in knowing what you deem totally unacceptable. Start there with the re-‘s of this retrograde season, then repeat, redo, review, and remove. When the timing is right you will have…

Na tena paṇḍito hoti
yāvatā bahu bhāsati.

One is not wise
because one speaks much.
One who is peaceable, friendly and fearless

Card of the Day – Page of Pentacles – Friday, August 3, 2018

What a beautiful card from a beautiful deck! It is great to see our money Messenger of the Tarot show up today with the promise of new beginnings and perhaps an incredible financial opportunity in the mix. But, wait! Mercury is retrograde, so what, oh what should you do? The Page of Pentacles can be about that good news for which you’ve been waiting…the possibility of a new job, interview, promotion, or raise. So, how do you handle it?
Ok, so the primary rule of Mercury retrograde when it comes to jobs is not to accept a new one at this time, unless…this offer comes to you through someone for which you have previously worked. That is the basic gist of it. So, if you are working for a company, and they offer you a dream promotion, with greater pay, go for it. But, what if you are a regular…
