Pāṇaṃ na hane na ca ghātayeyya,
na cānujaññā hanataṃ paresaṃ,
sabbesu bhūtesu nidhāya daṇḍaṃ.
Ye thāvarā ye ca tasā santi loke.
One should not kill a living being,
nor cause it to be killed,
nor should one incite another to kill.
Do not injure any being, either strong or weak, in the world.
Sutta Nipāta 2.396
The Discourse Collection: Selected Texts from the Sutta Nipāta, translated by John D. Ireland
New Moon blessings, everyone! Today is the New Moon occurring at 15° Pisces, a positive New Moon indeed, but there is so much more happening. Mercury retrograded yesterday at 29° Pisces, surely putting the old fog machine on HIGH, so you will have to go back over a few things before your new beginning can begin. Early today, a few hours before the New Moon, Uranus, planet of shock and surprise, left Aries to take up residence in Taurus until April 26, 2026.
So, who else picked up on our Queen of Swords showing up exactly on the New Moon? She is beautiful, but perhaps a bit temperamental. Don’t poke the bear; New Moons have a way of bringing out razor-sharp tongues, and once those words are out there, they are impossible to retrieve. Normally, she possesses the mental acuity and determination to make things happen, but all of this…

I never want to be seen as an equal to settler society.
Nor do I ever want to be seen as an equal in the eyes of the colonizer.
And I never want to be seen as “successful” within colonial systems.
It started when I was young.
It was lurking in the beginning stages of public speaking, of meeting with ministers, of being groomed in this space of false indigeniety to achieve colonial success.
It was intertwined in the statements of “you are going to be the next Prime Minister of Canada!” And the “you are so resilient. This is your line of work!”
I would sit there and melt into this feeling of success. These feelings of “I’m gonna do something big with my life.”
The feelings of “I am destined for greatness.”
But the greatness I thought I was destined for was only colonial greatness.
These colonial systems…

Pisces is the last in the circle of 12 signs of the Zodiac. All circles are infinite and have no beginning and no end.
All New Moons mark the beginning of a new cycle as the moon disappears for 2.1/2 days. This is a very powerful New Moon to set new intentions with and to release the past for many reasons. Pisces represents the end of life and the return to the source from where we came. It is a sign or release, of letting go, of forgiveness and compassion and releasing from the physical world to join with our ancestors. Pisces is the completion of our human journey and now we have to deal with whatever karma we have experienced and accumulated in our lifetime and to prepare for the next soul adventures.
This is a…

Idha socati pecca socati;

From March 5 to March 28, communication planet Mercury is retrograde in Water sign Pisces.
People communicate through their emotions. Impressions are strong, but not always clearly conveyed. If there are miscommunications, wait out the Mercury retrograde cycle to discuss it.
Apply the usual Mercury retrograde precautions such as allowing extra time for travel, driving slowly and carefully, and backing up important technology files.
March 6 is a new Moon in Pisces. The new Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Neptune are all in Pisces. This planetary stellium can inspire dreams and ideas about new goals. People are guided by their emotions, and have increased sensitivity to their surroundings. You can succeed by following your hunches, and being receptive to the feelings of others. Some dreams can become reality as Mars in Taurus trines Saturn in Capricorn, bringing inspirational concepts down to…

This is a pretty perfect card for today when you consider everything that is happening right now. Mercury, at 29° Pisces, retrogrades today through the 28th, Uranus, at 29° Aries, moves into Taurus tomorrow, and Chiron is at 0° Aries. We have some huge endings going on, ready to bring forth new beginnings.
When we look at the Judgement card, we typically see souls rising up, as an angel blows a trumpet. Important life moments are taking place now; your judgment at this point is critical. What are you being called to do? Answering a calling and making such choices very often lead one to a rebirth. Mercury will be leaving shadow on April 16, then entering Aries on the 17th. You will have clarity then and an understanding of this phase and why you were called upon for this judgment to be made.
See you here tomorrow!

Since i started studying herbalism 4 years ago, I have felt my in urge to get back on track with my spiritualism, Now i know that may sound strange to some. But 12 years ago, I was a reiki healer, tarot reader and spiritualist, but when my youngest was born 16 weeks premature, i turned it all off to focus on her, now again, i can hear you stay, but isn’t that the time you needed it the most, and yes you are probably right, but for me, i found my spiritualism distracted me from helping her, because i still had the demand from other people, and my head wasn’t in the game, and when i explained to one lady, that i couldn’t do her reading she got angry with me, so i thought NO, i cant do this, so i walked away from the whole thing, don’t get me…

There are many new and old research related to cannabis and cancer treatment.

There may be an added benefit of using cannabis during cancer treatment because THC kills cancer cells. Studies in laboratory and animal models show that THC is an effective killer. […]

Many associate Aloha shirts, hula dancing, and surfing with Hawaiian culture. Beloved by many around the globe, the paradisiacal islands exude romance and relaxation. However, the story of how America acquired Hawaii is much less pristine than the sparkling oceans and beaches on postcards and travel brochures. Struggle and oppression fill Hawaii’s history, as the United States forced the islands into becoming US territory. Much like the Native American Trail of Tears, the story of how Hawaii became a state brims with hostile takeovers, as well as displaced and mistreated Native inhabitants. […]

Standing strong in the face of the winds of change; the 7 of Wands is our don’t back down card, prompting you to stand your ground. This seems easier said than done, considering this is the biggest week of the year, but sheer determination and resolve can accomplish quite a bit.
So, what type of energies are you facing this week? First up, the retrograde-free wave you have been riding since January 7 crashes, giving way to the first retrograde of 2019, with none other than the little trickster himself doing his backward dance. Mercury will retrograde tomorrow through the 28th, starting out at 29° Pisces, the end of the end. Apparently, the Universe wants you to go back over a few things before you arrive at the actual end. This is followed on the 6th as disruptive Uranus comes into Taurus with a bang, to stay until April 26…
