Anthropology:  Dark Skin and Blue Eyes: European Hunter-Gatherers Did Not Fit with Common Representations

The popular image of the light-skinned European hunter-gatherer is not correct. DNA taken from a 7,000-year-old wisdom tooth found in Spain in 2006 shows a different story. A study of the tooth shows that the man who owned it had dark hair, blue eyes, and the dark-skinned genes of an African  […]

Cassis-Truffle-Chocoloates-1Romantics, lovers, chocoholics, rejoice! Valentine’s Day is nigh~! While basically everyone I know is firmly rooted on the rather jaded “It’s just a holiday for the greeting card / flower / chocolate industry” side of the matter, exactly the same people also spend the exact same holiday trying to hide the fact that they’re doing something of the exact same shape, size and color the “hopeless victims of the ad-powered machinery” do for their loved ones.

Daily Words of the Buddha for February 10, 2018

Pāli Word a Day for February 10, 2018 — anabhāva — the utter cessation of becoming

Yogā ve jāyatī bhūri,
ayogā bhūrisaṅkhayo.
Etaṃ dvedhāpathaṃ ñatvā bhavāya vibhavāya ca,
tathāttānaṃ niveseyya yathā bhūri pavaḍḍhati.

Wisdom springs from meditation;
without meditation wisdom wanes.
Having known these two paths of progress and decline,
let one so conduct oneself that one’s wisdom may increase.

Dhammapada 20.282

Card of the Day – King of Swords – Saturday, February 10, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

We are now only five days from the New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, and no doubt many are feeling this eclipse season. So, there is no doubt that this guy would show up; he is even more intense than the Queen, who is so well known for making an appearance at the time of a New or Full Moon. If there were to be a vote, this King would not likely win any personality contests, if we voted on personality traits. In his negative aspect, he is not the nicest person, and very often represents the narcissist in our midst.

However, even the King of Swords has some endearing qualities, and those are the ones which we hope to emulate today. He is highly intelligent, organized, and a no bs kind of person. If you are looking to use his energy to your advantage, then cut to the…

Health:  Does Sparkling Water Cause Weight Gain? Here’s What You Need To Know

It’s messing with your hunger hormones!

Plain water is too, well, plain, for many people, causing them to opt instead for sparkling. Sparkling, seltzer, fizzy, bubbly, club, or soda water is water that has been put under pressure to create fizz. In other words, water is “married” with pressurized carbon dioxide to create those delightful little bubbles that dance all over your tongue.  […]

The MOON conjuncts MARS in SAGITTARIUS

Daily Words of the Buddha for February 09, 2018

Pāli Word a Day for February 09, 2018 — adhivāsa— endurance, forbearance, holding out

Appaṃ vata jīvitaṃ idaṃ!
Oraṃ vassasatāpi miyyati,
yo cepi aticca jīvati,
atha kho so jarasāpi miyyati.

How short this life!
You die this side of a century,
but even if you live past,
you die of old age.

Sutta Nipāta 4.810
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Card of the Day – 2 of Swords – Friday, February 9, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Pondering one’s direction in life is much like deciding on your next move in a game of chess. Indecision is often based on two things…our lack of certainty as to the outcome of our choices, and fear of the unknown itself. Very rarely are we given a glimpse into the realities of our future, and a roadmap as to where our choices may lead.

If you should find yourself uncertain about a decision right now, and you are rather sitting on the fence trying to decide, know that it is ok. I feel very strongly that the time to act upon clear choices before you is coming after the New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on the 15th. Right now we are in the space in between, and there are simply too many variables. So, you are not wrong to hesitate. Wait, for before month’s end, you will have…

Card of the Day – High Priestess – Thursday, February 8, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

OMG! Have you ever had one of those moments? “I knew that was going to happen!“, is a phrase that many of us often hear ourselves saying. Today appears to be no exception, as our High Priestess is the all-knowing, the keeper of intuition. How we develop that intuition, and treat it as our ally, can indeed aid us on life’s journey.

There is a quote “Silence the mind and the soul will speak“. This is so very true, and sometimes, in order to gain a better perspective, we need to take that time out, go within, and listen to our inner voice. Some days it is absolutely screaming, wanting you to pay attention. Today is one of those days you need to heed the words of your inner voice.

Hidden opportunities Astrology today

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

This is an unusual day as 4 planets including the SUN connect through semi-sextile aspects.

semisextile Astrology Tara Greene

semi-sextile glyph

A semi-sextile is a 30-degree connection between planets and considered a minor aspect.  They are in neighboring signs to each other-ahead or behind. Are they good neighbors or bad neighbors? It largely depends on the two planets qualities themselves and how the two signs get along. All neighboring signs have qualities very different to each other. 

A semi-sextile is an unseen opportunity requiring activation. A sextile is 60 degrees and considered to be an easy positive aspect. Some astrologers consider a semi-sextile to be like an inconjunct but softer. Other astrologers see a semi-sextile as a hidden opportunity.

Daily Words of the Buddha for February 08, 2018

Pāli Word a Day for February 08, 2018 — anāsasāna — an + āsasāna = not + wishing, desiring, longing = not longing after anything

Dosaggiṃ pana mettāya,
nibbāpenti naruttamā.
Mohaggiṃ pana paññāya
yāyaṃ nibbedhagāminī.

By love they will quench the fire of hate,
by wisdom the fire of delusion.
Those supreme ones extinguish delusion
with wisdom that breaks through to truth.

Music – In Conversation: Quincy Jones

In both music and manner, Quincy Jones has always registered — from afar, anyway — as smooth, sophisticated, and impeccably well-connected. (That’s what earning 28 Grammy awards and co-producing Michael Jackson’s biggest-selling albums will do.) But in person, the 84-year-old music-industry macher is far spikier and more complicated. “All I’ve ever done is tell the truth,” says Jones, seated on a couch in his palatial Bel Air home, and about to dish some outrageous gossip. “I’ve got nothing to be scared of, man.” […]
