Card of the Day – The World – Sunday, December 9, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Life is much like a relay race. No sooner do you finish one leg of the race, hand off the baton, and the next leg begins. However, unlike the relay, there is no handing off, you just keep going through one cycle after another. Thankfully, the cycle which included Mercury retrograde is out of here. Chiron in Pisces will go direct today. The only retrograde heavenly body left is Uranus which will go direct on January 7. And, let us not forget the cycles of the Moon, as you just exoerienced a glorious New Moon in Sagittarius, which lends itself to the true kickoff for Jupiter in Sagittarius through December 2, 2019. What will you do during this Jupiter cycle? Jupiter is home, and stronger than it has been in years, so the possibilites are indeed endless.

Yesterday, the Tarot Card of the Day was the Death card, and I…

Pāli Word a Day for December 09, 2018 — paṇītaṃ — excellent, precious

Jayaṃ veraṃ pasavati.
Dukkhaṃ seti parājito.

Losing, one lies down in pain.
The calmed lie down with ease,

Health and Food || 13 Incredibly Cleansing Effects That Happen After Eating Or Drinking 1 Beet Per Day – Healthy Food House

Beets are definitely the most beneficial root vegetables, and their leaves are full of chlorophyll and other essential nutrients, and their greens are even more nutritious than the roots. Their deep red/purple color is due to the presence of a phytochemical known as betacyanin, which can drastically lower homocysteine levels. Beets detoxify and strengthen the blood, […]

Health || 7 Foods That Flush Mucus From Your Body – Healthy Food House

A persistent cough and a constantly blocked nose indicate an excess of mucus in the body. Mucus is important in the body as it nourishes the skin and organs and hydrates the body,  but in the case of an infection, the body overproduces it. Thickened mucus can result from common colds, infections, and congestion, but it […]

Na paro paraṃ nikubbetha
nātimaññetha katthaci na kañci,
byārosanā paṭighasaññā

or despise anyone anywhere,

Card of the Day – Death – Saturday, December 8, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

The beginning of the End. There is a door which very much needs to be closed; you have just entered the transitional phase of doing so. To have a better understanding as to what is ending, what needs to change, think back to your life since early 2011. You can not go back to that life, therefore now you need to take the necessary steps to allow that part of you to die away. A new and better you is on its way.

The underlying themes of this transition, I feel are very much connected to Uranus’ current retrograde in Aries. It will go direct by January 6, and you should be seeing by then that you will be able to successfully close that door. You will have completed this cycle when Uranus then enters the sign of Taurus on March 6, not to return to Aries for another 84…

Card of the Day – King of Wands – Friday, December 7, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

New Moon blessings, everyone! Behold the glorious New Moon in fiery Sagittarius! Mercury is now direct and it is time to step up and take charge of life. Jupiter in Sagittarius is coming into its own now. What is the vision of change you hold for yourself? Make those intentions and aim that arrow high and far.

The King of Wands is a natural-born leader, someone with the ability to see what needs to be done and take charge of a situation. While often a boss, this need only be you, being the boss of you, aiming for the changes you desire, and having the passion and drive to make them happen. This won’t be an overnight venture. It is an important leg of your journey; keep that fire burning within you and know that what you are creating is long term.

See you here tomorrow!

Law of Attraction New Moon in Sagittarius

Attract anything you want at Sagittarius New Moon December 6 @ 11:20 pm PST/ December 7 @ 2:20 am EST and 7:20 am GMT because the New Moon is conjunct the Great Attractor at 15+ degrees of Sagittarius.

Great Attractor, Astrology Tara Greene The Great Attractor 2MASS_LSS_chart-NEW_Nasa IPAC Caltech, by Thomas Jarrett [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Our Galaxy and nearby Galaxies are being sucked into The Great Attractor. Our Solar System is hurtling through space at a furious pace of 2.2 million kilometers an hour.  Were not clear as to what the G.A. really is but apparently its an  Intergalactic gravitational anomaly at the center of the local Laniakea Supercluster, where the Milky Way is located, called the Zone of Avoidance. This Z of A is called this because it’s very difficult to observe wavelengths because of the obscuring effects of our own galactic plane.

La’au Lapa’au || Mix Bananas, Honey, and Water: Cough and Bronchitis Will Disappear 

During the winter season, colds and coughs are always there to remind us of our frailty.  Additionally, coughs can be a result of smoking, air pollution, second-hand smoking, and old age.

Card of the Day – Queen of Pentacles – Thursday, December 6, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

First let me say Happy Mercury Direct Day! And also New Moon blessings to everyone, even though the New Moon at 15° Sagittarius will be today or tomorrow, dependent upon your time zone.  As much as you may be raring for that moment to go forward, you may wish to put more than a moment between yourself and Mercury retrograde, but do put forth those New Moon intentions. Make them count.

Known for her sense of practicality, the Queen of Pentacles is one who always remains very down-to-earth, very grounded, if you will.  Finding that grounded space may be easier said than done today, for not only do you have the fog associated with Mercury Direct, there is a conjunction building between Mars and Neptune, both of which are currently in dreamy Pisces.  Your actions may become more idealistic and romanticized as you view the world through rose-colored glasses.  Use your…

Lāʻau Lāpāʻau || Aloe Vera Juice Improves Thyroid Function in Patients with Subclinical Hypothyroidism

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

The leaves of aloe vera (Aloe vera syn. A. barbadensis, Asphodelaceae) contain more than 200 phytochemical substances, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, active enzymes, anthraquinones, sterols, lignin, saponins, and salicylic acids. Among its amino acids, the most abundant one is arginine; the rarest one is tyrosine, a precursor to thyroid hormones T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). These authors examined the effects of aloe vera juice (AVJ) in women with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT)-related subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and high levels of thyroperoxidase auto-antibodies (TPOAb). The personal experience of one of the authors who had a history of HT-related SCH prompted this study. She began drinking 50 mL of AVJ in the morning on an empty stomach as a skin soother and laxative. After three months and more so after six months, she observed remarkable improvements in her thyroid function.

Recruited for this study were women aged 30 to 55 years…

Lāʻau Lāpāʻau || A Review of Herbal Treatments for Viral Respiratory Tract Infections

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Viral respiratory infections (VRIs) like the common cold, viral pharyngitis, acute bronchitis, and influenza (flu) are among the most common human illnesses. Annual vaccines for flu lack acceptance and have variable efficacy. There are no vaccines for other VRIs, and the flu vaccine cannot prevent them. Conventional treatments for VRIs are generally lacking; even neuraminidase inhibitors (e.g., oseltamivir, zanamivir) are only marginally effective, with substantial adverse effects (AEs). Antibiotics do not affect viruses; nonetheless, lacking effective conventional medicines, patient demand for antibiotics continues, contributing to bacterial resistance. Many herbal medicines are used to prevent and treat VRIs. Some are backed by research; others, by traditional use; some, by both. Generally, no one herb can resolve VRIs. Multi-herb treatments tailored to the patient are most effective. Yarnell discusses a range of herbs useful for treating and/or preventing VRIs, adding his insights as a clinician.

Many herbs act directly against the viruses…
