Lilith at last critical degree Aquarius
Lilith, one half of the Feminine aspect of god or the archetype of the necessary “negative” or death bringing aspect of nature is sitting at the last critical degree of Aquarius asking us to take the higher consciousness route.. Lilith is critically bringing all the Aquarian aspects of feeling different then others, like an outcast and appearing detached as a result. Lilith in airy Aquarius is also an unconscious negative value of Technology and its impact on our lives. Lilith in Aquarius symbolizes social media revenge issues- like “cancel culture” to which Lilith herself was subject to for 5,000 years . Lilith also challenges us to be open minded and accepting of all beings as equal.
Lilith enters Pisces May 3/4th where she will be deeply emotionally and psychically engaged in our collective unconscious. Lilith will be appearing in dreams a lot while she is in Pisces. She is not…

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau | Clinical Trial Finds that Walnut Leaf Extract is Ineffective for Reducing Cardiovascular Risk Factors Associated with Type 2 Diabetes
Walnut (Juglans regia, Juglandaceae) is a large deciduous tree native to Central Asia. It has been in cultivation across the Eurasian continent for thousands of years. While it is primarily grown for its exceptionally nutritious nut, it is also a source of dye, wood, and other products. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, clinical trial, the researchers evaluated the effects of a walnut leaf extract on glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Walnut leaves for this study were collected in the Dasht-e Naz agricultural area outside the city of Sari, Iran. They were positively identified and certified by a botanist, and a botanical quality voucher specimen was deposited at the Sari School of Pharmacy. The walnut leaf sample was air-dried at room temperature. One kilogram of the sample was ground and percolated, using three 2.5 L measures of 70% ethanol over 24…

Daily Words of the Buddha for April 25, 2019
Kodhaṃ jahe vippajaheyya mānaṃ,
saṃyojanaṃ sabbamatikkameyya.
Taṃ nāmarūpasmimasajjamānaṃ
akiñcanaṃ nānupatanti dukkhā.
One should give up anger, renounce pride,
and overcome all fetters.
Suffering never befalls one
who clings not to mind and body and is detached.

Card of the Day – 9 of Wands – Wednesday, April 24, 2019
“You will never know strong you are until being strong is your only choice.” I could write an entire post using quotes about strength, resilience, persistence, falling down and getting back up, but I think you get the point. This has been your life up until this point, and, in recent days, we have been talking about the urge to break out, break free, and rise above it all, entering a new life. The 9 of Wands urges you to get up each day and make the most of it, no matter how tired, no matter how difficult, and continually reminds you of all that you are, all that you can be, and all that you have overcome.
If you need some sort of anthem to get you through your day, and to help you get back out there and do it all over again, as you attempt to make…

Card of the Day – The World – Tuesday, April 23, 2019
Common sense generally dictates that you do not just wake up one day living an entirely new life. So how do you get one? The best way to work your path in the direction of the picture in your mind is through integration. Gradually begin to introduce the new way of life into the current one, thus allowing time to adjust to the changes. There is less chance of having things backfire, if you give yourself, and those around you, that cushion for becoming accustomed to a new way of doing things.
It is important to understand that you are in a crucial phase of transition, so in order for your actions to stick and have long-lasting consequences, or benefits, it is necessary to implement new ways of doing things in a manner which is comfortable for you. Ultimately, the goal should be to have an actual life rather than…

“I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew. The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure Soul. Love has befriended me so completely it has turned to ash and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known.”

Card of the Day – Knight of Pentacles – Monday, April 22, 2019
Mr. Reliable…our Knight of Pentacles is pretty much the most predictable, routine card in the deck. Not a bad card for a Monday, he can help you make it to work in a punctual manner, put forth a consistent work product, and never do things in a haphazard fashion. Ok, so maybe he sounds a bit boring, and not very adventurous, but slow and steady wins the race, right?
Today, with the Sun newly in Taurus, and Uranus there for the next seven years, one might think this earthy Knight was the perfect vibe for kicking off your work week. Somehow, there is always a catch, and you have probably been feeling it build over the last couple of days; go back and look at Saturday and Sunday’s cards…the 5 of Wands and the Devil, that struggle to break out and break free of old ways and constraints. Your intentions…

People who only see one side of things
Engage in quarrels and disputes.
