If the Mosquitos Always go Straight for You, Here’s What You Need to Know 

We all love the summer and the warm weather and everything that goes with it.. beach, light clothes, cocktails, barbecue in the yard, splash pads..well not everything, as I bet we all hate mosquito bites! These insects are good in ruining a great day at the beach or by the pool, but apparently, we do […]

Synthetic Marijuana Approved By DEA for Medicine While The Real Thing Remains Illegal 

The DEA has just announced in the Federal Register that the same manufacturer of the notorious fentanyl has produced a synthetic marijuana product which they believe is more medically valuable and safer than real cannabis. Namely, the drug Syndros, a liquid form of synthetic THC, will be now classified as a schedule 2 controlled substance, […]

Card of the Day – Page of Pentacles – Saturday, March 30, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

If opportunity knocked today, would you be ready? I always love to see the Pages show up, each with their respective message, but today feels as though it is possible to miss the mark. Very often, the message being conveyed here is a financial opportunity, or a new job prospect, but, as of late, the vibe has felt a bit slow, perhaps containing a bit of procrastination.

Where there should be progress, there appears to be lack. Where there should be manifestation, it appears to be maybe tomorrow. So, I went looking for the reasons. I know Mercury is direct, but the fog there is still pretty thick, and, with Mars in slow-moving Taurus (today being the last day), well, true progress feels in short supply. Now, that does not make it a complete loss, mind you. There will be a semi-square between Venus and Saturn which will bring your…

Daily Words of the Buddha for March 30, 2019

Pāli Word a Day for March 30, 2019 — pabhāta — daybreak, dawn; become clear or shining

Gataddhino visokassa
vippamuttassa sabbadhi,
sabbaganthappahīnassa,
pariḷāho na vijjati.

The fever of passion exists not for one
who has completed the journey,
who is sorrowless and wholly set free,
and has broken all ties.

Dhammapada 7.90
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita

Daily Words of the Buddha for March 29, 2019

Yathā naro āpagamotaritvā,
mahodakaṃ salilaṃ sīghasotaṃ,
so vuyhamāno anusotagāmī —
kiṃ so pare sakkhati tārayetuṃ?

If one going down into a river,
swollen and swiftly flowing,
is carried away by the current —
how can one help others across?

Womens History Month || Smithsonian Shines Light on Hawaiian Queens for Women’s History Month

The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center’s Learning Together program announced in an emailed statement last week that, as part of Women’s History Month, it will share teaching materials on two women who were critical to the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

The Center’s Learning Lab, an online resource for educators, includes a wide range of content focusing on Queen Kapi‘olani (1834-1899) and Queen Liliʻuokalani (1838-1917)—two of the most important leaders in a rich native culture that existed long before the establishment of the United States.

On Consciousness …

There is only one consciousness, and it permeates the fabric of the Universe and is within all things. Check out Mind Over Matter – Consciousness and the Nature of Reality to explore this idea more deeply. We are all individuated threads of universal consciousness — that’s why it is sometimes referred to as SOURCE consciousness.

This one consciousness created multiple focal points of awareness within itself birthing many selves. These many selves are all part of and within the One Self and one of them is YOU — that makes the One Self is your highest self!

You are WITHIN Source, and paradoxically Source is within you.

The authors of a new study conclude that healthful food prescriptions in Medicare and Medicaid would be more cost-effective after 5 years than preventive drug treatments.

As the cost of healthcare rises, could prescription vegetables save money?

Medicare and Medicaid are the two largest healthcare programs in the United States.

Approximately 57 million people received coverage from Medicare plans in 2016, while Medicaid had about 66 million enrollees in 2018.

Medicare is the federal health insurance program that supports certain groups of people, including those who are 65 years or older, those with permanent kidney failure, and some younger people with disabilities.

Medicaid is a federal and state program that helps people who have limited income and resources.

Medicare accounted for 15 percent of the federal budget in 2017. As the population ages and healthcare costs rise, experts estimate that healthcare spending will continue to grow. According to projections, Medicare spending will reach 18 percent by 2028.

Card of the Day – Knight of Pentacles – Tuesday, March 26, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Punctual. Reliable. Methodical. Our Knight of Pentacles is a steady, slow-moving character, at times so slow that he has become symbolic of the tortoise in the age-old fable, ‘The Tortoise and the Hare.’ One might say that taking the slow and steady approach is the safe route, and that being so consistent and reliable can earn you great rewards down the line. With Mercury being retrograde for two more days, this would seem like sound advice, but something tells me that when you look around, not everyone can succumb to the absolute boredom which can ensue from this Knight’s routine.

It is important to note, the Moon is still in Sagittarius, and the Sun is currently in Aries. Venus, the goddess of love, enters Pisces today, its sign of exaltation. We are on the lead up to a sextile which will occur tomorrow between Venus and Uranus, which, I feel…

This is the mother of all mothers, the Great mother of attraction energy, Feel the maternal Sagittarius Luna influence as Dwarf planet Ceres/ Demeter, the Great Mother is conjunct Moon in the next 2 hours at 13 Sagittarius conjunct to the Great Attractor.

This is also conjunct to my Natal Moon and makes perfect sense for the re-mothering work I am engaged in right now. And which I am channeling that the whole planet needs to be doing, to heal the wounds of the inner child. The destruction of Mother Earth. The erasure Of woman’s herstory,

How to work with this energy.

And being synchronized with the Great Attractor

When we feel securely loved, held, worthy and unconditionally accept ourselves and deserving of love and abundance then we can attract everything we need. Whatever stands in the way of that will…

Dhammapīti sukhaṃ seti

Card of the Day – King of Pentacles – Monday, March 25, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

One of the keywords, and probably the one at the top of the list right now, is power…your power. Many of you out there have felt robbed of it, at the very least a little bit cheated, in some way shape, or form. This particular phase of your journey is all about you taking the necessary steps to reclaim your power, and to manifest a new and more secure identity for yourself. If there is anyone who can help you to do this, it would be the King of Pentacles. He is an earthy, grounded fellow, someone who works hard to reap the success of his labors and create the comforts he requires in his life, for both himself and those whom he nurtures. That is his power, often financial, but definitely feeling secure within himself and his surroundings.

Normally, we tend to see this King show up on the…

Musings …

All of us struggle with our identity. Maybe, we date someone we shouldn’t … maybe, we’re related to someone we wish we weren’t. Maybe, we need rules … maybe, we shun them. Maybe, we need to shake who we always thought we were and try on something new. Maybe, we should loosen up … maybe, we should take a leap … because when we do, maybe we just might surprise ourselves.
