Pāli Word a Day for August 24, 2018 — attamano — becomes joyful

Māvamaññetha pāpassa, “Na mantaṃ āgamissati.”
Udabindunipātena, udakumbhopi pūrati.
Bālo pūrati pāpassa, thokaṃ thokampi ācinaṃ.

Think not lightly of evil, saying, “It will not come to me.”
Drop by drop is the water pot filled.
Likewise, the fool, gathering it little by little,
fills oneself with evil.

Card of the Day – 8 of Cups – Friday, August 24, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

The promise of new opportunities beckons on the horizon, but what about your current life? It has served its purpose up until now, some good, some bad, but so much more awaits you just on the other side of the impending Full Moon in Pisces which we be here in two more days.

The 8 of Cups is often associated with disappointment, abandonment, and moving on, likely in search of a better life. The timing is right, especially as Mars turn direct in three days, to set out on a new adventure of discovery. If there has been nonsense, whether it was Eclipse and retrograde related or not, being able to turn your back on this part opens you up to new possibilities. There is no remorse with this card; you are ready and willing to venture forth and see what the Universe has in store for you next. The…

Card of the Day – 7 of Swords – Thursday, August 23, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Wow! This card is aptly placed today. First, let us start with you, continuing to fly under the radar during this heavy retrograde period. While Mercury is direct, it is currently in shadow through September 2, and Mars remains retrograde until August 27. It is still stealth mode time for you, and soon you will be able to emerge from the shadows and move forward full force with your plans. Keep things under wraps and basically to yourself for the time being.

Next up is the shady business, lies, deceit, and betrayals, associated with this card. Let’s not forget that a direct Jupiter, planet of expansion, is still in Scorpio, the sign of the great detective. Over the course of the coming weeks, and likely moreso once Jupiter leaves shadow in October, you will see more and more of what has been hidden in the shadows being brought to light…

Yo sahassaṃ sahassena

Myers-Briggs Compatibility: Does It Matter In Relationships?

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Do opposites attract? Or should you look for a partner who is just like you?

Romantic relationships are a vital part of our lives, so it makes sense that we’d want to maximize our chance of finding the best possible life partner. But is there a way to use science and psychology to give us an edge? Many people feel that the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) is a tool to figure this out.   […]

Card of the Day – Queen of Pentacles – Wednesday, August 22, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

What an appropriate card for today! Our Queen of Pentacles, a/k/a Queen of Earth, is here to keep you in grounded practical mode today. She is the proverbial nurturer, a provider, not just in the financial realm, but in life’s comforts as well. She does not need to be rich to wield her power, for it comes through her hard work and ambition to be secure.

Today, we have no less than three energies in the earth sign of Capricorn. Retrograde Mars, retrograde Saturn, and the Moon, are all hanging out here. There is a tendency to want to get things done, perhaps tie up a few loose ends, and taking the projects at hand seriously in order to see them through to completion. Use all of this grounded energy which the Universe is providing to see to it that the job gets done right. You’ll be glad you did.

Perspectives | The Upside To Criticism, with Matt Kahn

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Hello Luminaries

Reality is literally an expression of consciousness coming to life.
From its birth, each manifestation is constantly growing in an upward trajectory.

Because of its ever-evolving nature, along with a growing sense of self-awareness throughout the tapestry of time and space, we refer to everything as a creative expression of source energy.

That which lives as an expression of Source (or creative energy) manifests the creative energy of Source in those who view it.

One of the first levels of creative expression is how creatively someone imagines changing the landscape of perceptions in view.

This occurs through the formation of an opinion. As opinions get formed, one decides how they feel about the things in view, unaware how their feeling is not due to what exists to be seen, but reflective in the quality of how they choose to see it.

Instead of thinking of criticism as a personal attack, rest in knowing it is your creative energy, whether expressed simply in your existence, or
reflected in the artistry of your creation that inspires a greater wellspring of creativity in others.

As creative energy matures, each of us is able to spontaneously pull inspiration out of the ethers. This occurs without projecting our need for change onto the perfection of existing creations, in order to express the artistry of our aliveness.

“As creative energy matures, each of us is able to spontaneously pull inspiration out of the ethers.”
From this space, the upside of criticism occurs in recognizing that while others may critique your existence, they are merely in the process of cultivating a deeper inner awareness; preparing to bring out the inner artist waiting to be born in their heart.

Those who criticize may not know their criticism as a crucial rite of passage along the journey of awakening. It might just be mindless projections keeping at bay the potential for intimate connections where one has more to lose in being open and vulnerable when hiding behind the mask of ego.

No matter how cold-hearted or mean-spirited others seem to be, as long as you know the deeper inner workings that occur, you are less likely to judge and condemn those whose evolving creative energy is internally fighting for a more expanded way to see their world in view.

May all be met with patience, tolerance, and compassion with respect to the evolving artist in every heart — no matter how often they use their creativity to limit themselves by how often they ridicule another.

May all be healed by the light of love, so our creative energy may be used consciously for the greater good of all.

All For Love,
Matt Kahn

Through the Eyes of Tarot – Sun in Virgo – August 23 through September 22, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

While you have the free will to choose, it is possible that, at the time of the Sun entering Virgo, you remain undecided how to take charge of a situation. This can either be due to fear on your part of the unknown, or a lack of clarity which lingers as a result of Mercury shadow and some continuing retrogrades. There may be questions as to laws and authority as to whether you should circumvent a few rules in order to achieve your goals, or whether you should follow them and just continue working behind the scenes as you await your new beginnings.

Keep giving everything its necessary attention, but be mindful of your own needs as well. As the Universe prepares to push you forward toward your hopes and dreams like a slingshot over the next four weeks, it is important to have come to terms with what you…

Card of the Day – The Emperor – Tuesday, August 21, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

What a perfect Emperor card with which to close out the Sun in Leo! As the Sun winds up its last two days in its home sign, there is no doubt that you are excited to see some new energy in town. The Cancer and Leo stints have been tough with the Eclipses and retrogrades, so by now you are ready for something new.

The Emperor is the father figure, authority figure, protector, solid-as-a-rock, unwilling to budge, and you can probably think of a person or two who fits the bill. He is also your stable foundation. You have worked for a long time to get to this point. Many of you suffered at least one serious implosion in life, which left you picking up the pieces and cleaning away the debris from a life which is only a memory now. So, if the Emperor is your new, better-than-ever, solid…

Health | Weaponizing oxygen to kill infections and disease

The life-threatening bacteria called MRSA can cripple a hospital since it spreads quickly and is resistant to treatment. But scientists report that they are now making advances in a new technique that avoids antibiotics. Instead, they are using light to activate oxygen, which then wipes out antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The method also could be used to treat other microbial infections, and possibly even cancer.  […]
