Card of the Day – 7 of Cups – Thursday, September 20, 2018

It is possible that today may come off feeling a bit distracting. Perhaps there are too many things in front of you which need your attention, or even an intentional situation designed to redirect your focus. In order to understand what I mean, think of it in a political sense, with something aimed to divert your attention from the reality of what is really happening. You could find the idea of making decisions difficult today, especially when dealing with those who may wish to deceive you by pulling the wool over your eyes.

The 7 of Cups can be a bit of a reality check, whether it be with your own hopes and dreams, decisions, or intentions. You may need to step back and analyze your options with a more down-to-earth approach. There can be disillusionment, perhaps through a feeling of being overwhelmed. Choices are not always easy.

The Promise Of A Shaman

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment


If you come to me as a victim I will not support you.
But I will have the courage to walk with you through the pain that you are suffering.
I will put you in the fire, I will undress you, and I will sit you on the earth.
I will bathe you with herbs, I will purge you, and you will vomit the rage and the darkness inside you.
I’ll bang your body with good herbs, and I’ll put you to lay in the grass, face up to the sky.
Then I will blow your crown to clean the old memories that make you repeat the same behavior.
I will blow your forehead to scare away the thoughts that cloud your vision.
I will blow your throat to release the knot that won’t let you talk.
I will blow your heart to scare fear, so that it goes far away where it cannot find you.
I will blow your solar plexus to extinguish the fire of the hell you carry inside, and you will know peace.
I will blow with fire your belly to burn the attachments, and the love that was not.
I will blow away the lovers that left you, the children that never came.
I will blow your heart to make you warm, to rekindle your desire to feel, create and start again.
I will blow with force your vagina or your penis, to clean the sexual door to your soul.
I will blow away the garbage that you collected trying to love what did not wanted to be loved.
I will use the broom, and the sponge, and the rag, and safely clean all the bitterness inside you.
I will blow your hands to destroy the ties that prevent you from creating.
I will blow your feet to dust and erase the footprints memories, so you can never return to that bad place.
I will turn your body, so your face will kiss the earth.
I’ll blow your spine from the root to the neck to increase your strength and help you walk upright.
And I will let you rest.

After this you will cry, and after crying you will sleep,
And you will dream beautiful and meaningful dreams,
and when you wake up I’ll be waiting for you.
I will smile at you, and you will smile back
I will offer you food that you will eat with pleasure, tasting life, and I will thank you.
Because what I’m offering today, was offered to me before when darkness lived within me.
And after I was healed, I felt the darkness leaving, and I cried.

Then we will walk together, and I will show you my garden, and my plants, and I will take you to the fire again.
And will talk together in a single voice with the blessing of the earth.
And we will shout to the forest the desires of your heart.
And the fire will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the mountains will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the rivers will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the wind will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And then we will bow before the fire, and we will call upon all the visible and invisible guardians.
And you will say thank you to all of them.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
And you will say thank you to yourself.

Card of the Day – 4 of Cups – Tuesday, September 18, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Feeling in a rut? That urge to break out peaks today as Mars and Uranus square off once again. A reminder that this energy is one best put to good use, and not to let yourself be overrun by it. Since May, you have been trying to do something, and there have been many zigs, zags, detours, and holdups along the way. Sorry, but the same old, same old will just not cut it anymore. Boredom with the status quo may run rampant now.

So, what to do when you are feeling like this? First, ask yourself what it is that you don’t want in your life; that should be pretty clear. Meditate, contemplate, do whatever it is that helps you achieve a place of clarity. Next is considering what you do want, and this may be where it can become tricky with the 4 of Cups involved. Don’t rule…

Autumn Equinox, September 22nd, 2018 ~ The Shift

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

L'Aura Pleiadian's avatarThe New Divine Humanity

As I sit here, amazed, bathed in the heat and sun of summer in the air and on my skin, I know that very soon, the Fall Equinox will arrive. I am in the Northern Hemisphere and here our equal days and nights, takes place at the beginning of Libra, astrologically. The Balance, the scales.

As the daylight becomes shorter and almost becomes the same length as the night-time, we celebrate the Harvest, the beginning of Fall. September 22, 2018, 10:54 pm ADT. Equinox ~ equal light.  As the daylight becomes less and less, and the darkness becomes greater, we then celebrate the shortest day of daylight, the winter solstice and the return to greater light.

For those in the Southern Hemisphere, you will too be celebrating equal days and nights, although for you, it will be the beginning of spring, leading up to the summer solstice, the longest day…

Card of the Day – 10 of Swords – Monday, September 17, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Rock bottom…down and out…the only way to go is up. The last time we saw this card was in the beginning of May. Uranus’ stay in Aries was growing in intensity and nearing its end before moving into Taurus on May 15. These last few months, since that sign shift, have not been easy ones for so many of you. Tomorrow, Uranus, which is retrograde in Taurus, will square Mars, which is in shadow in Aquarius. You are likely to be feeling these energies.

The urge to break out and begin a true recovery (10 of Swords) may very well hit you now. Go ahead, stand up and move toward the light which is the dawn of a new day. This square can also prove stressful (10 of Swords) to some of you, if you, or those around you, are not harnessing the energy to break out and break free…

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

An upbeat optimistic moon energy.

Mercury in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio

Mercury sextiles Jupiter it’s a great day to communicate your deepest feelings, and to listen to your soul. This is where we are very real and honest. Don’t lie to anyone, Don’t lie to yourself.  Tell the truth from your soul. Listen. You already have all the answers,

It’s idealistic, romantic, dreamy, honest, intense and you can be obsessive. Get your long-range plans and adventure into form. Good for a budget for school or publishing or any financial undertaking.

Moon in Sagittarius squares Mercury in Virgo

The Sagittarius Moon amplifies all of this truth of your soul energy.

Optimistic honest, lighthearted, crack jokes about this funny detailed, maintenance experience programme we call Life.

Moon squares SUN

We are halfway to the next Full Moon. Our feelings and sense of self-are pressured.

Gotta go I’m hiking to Oak Creek…

Pāli Word a Day for September 16, 2018 — anasuropa — absence of abruptness

Yadā have pātubhavanti dhammā

To the ardent meditating brahmin,
All one’s doubts then vanish since one understands
Each thing along with its cause.
