Pāli Word a Day for June 27, 2018 — appamāṇo — without measure, immeasurable, endless, boundless, limitless

Atītaṃ nānvāgameyya,
nappaṭikaṅkhe anāgataṃ;
yadatītaṃ pahīnaṃ taṃ,
appattañca anāgataṃ

The past should not be followed after,
and the future not desired;
what is past is dead and gone,
and the future is yet to come.

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – 7 of Cups – Wednesday, June 27, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Today we have the privilege of seeing another card from the upcoming deck, Whispering Spirits, from Joanna Nelson Studio. This 7 of Cups reminds me of tomorrow’s Full Moon in Capricorn and the Moon card itself. In some ways, this card is somewhat a lower octave of the Moon card, whereas it represents confusion and fears, the 7 of Cups can represent confusion, disillusionment and choices.

Things right now may not appear as they truly are. There may be smokescreens everywhere designed to prevent you from getting to the truth. I want to say proceed with caution, as there may be those who are trying to pull the wool over your eyes. The 7 of Cups is a good indicator that there are phonies, those who wear masks, and do not reveal their true selves. This can apply on so many levels. Since we are entering a time which places…

The CAPRICORN Full Moon is hard as a rock covered in Honey. The natives named this the Honey Moon Rose Moon, Flower Moon or Strawberry Moon, and the Oak Moon, Cold Moon or Long Night’s Moon from the Southern Hemisphere – and look in the moon’s glare for a starlike point. That point is a planet, Saturn. MARS is also at its brightest having just turned Retrograde. 

Capricorn Astrology Tara Greene

As seen from the entire Earth, the terrible duo-the two most malefic planets traditionally will climb highest up for the night around midnight and will sit low in the west at dawn on June 28 and 29.

Saturn is opposed to Sun and conjunct the Moon. Full Moon is exact at 6 degrees CAPRICORN June 27 @ 9:52 pm PDT/ June 28 @ 4:52 am GMT 

Mars has just turned Retrograde at 9 Aquarius for the next two months.

Pāli Word a Day for June 26, 2018 — sakhi — a companion, friend

Upanīyati jīvitamappamāyu.
Jarūpanītassa na santi tāṇā.
Etaṃ bhayaṃ maraṇe pekkhamāno,
lokāmisaṃ pajahe santipekkho.

Life is swept along, next-to-nothing its span.
For one swept to old age no shelters exist.
Perceiving this danger in death,
one should drop the world’s bait and look for peace.

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – King of Wands – Tuesday, June 26, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Please take note that today, Mars, our action and energy planet begins its retrograde through August 27. Mars retrograde occurs less frequently than any other planet, so there is good reason to sit up and take notice. Today, our King of Wands is here to serve as a reminder to maintain that passion and drive to achieve your vision for change. Now is a good time to stand up for yourself and take charge of your life in some area.

The King of Wands can be you, male or female, or anyone else for that matter. It can pertain to a particular person, or even a state of being. This guy is the “Boss Man”, a leader among men, who stands up and takes charge, and you are not likely to find him down in the trenches with everyone else. He is more of an overseer, due to his entrepreneurial…

Astrology | Full Moon in Capricorn – Thursday, June 28, 2018 12:53am EST

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Take advantage of the earthiness of this Capricorn Full Moon to ground yourself; this is good for perspective. Allow yourself to see through the bs and all of the illusions that others may create in trying to pull the wool over your eyes. The only way to go is straight through, not around, above, or below. You do have some solid goals in place, and need to remain focused on them, rather than on any controversies which may be surrounding you. Divine Intervention will inspire you toward new beginnings at the time of this Full Moon.

By July 4, you will see an important cycle completed, but so much more is ready to begin, and you are the one in charge of making your own choices. Remember, sometimes with creativity, you need to throw things out there until something sticks. Pay attention to all of the messages coming your way…

Pāli Word a Day for June 24, 2018 — okappati— to believe in, arrange, make ready, settle on, feel confident in, trust in

Kodhaṃ chetvā sukhaṃ seti.
Kodhaṃ chetvā na socati.
Kodhassa visamūlassa, madhuraggassa devate
vadhaṃ ariyā pasaṃsanti,
tañhi chetvā na socatī.

Having killed anger you sleep in ease.
Having killed anger you do not grieve.
The noble ones praise the slaying of anger
— with its honeyed crest & poison root —
for having killed it you do not grieve.

La’au Lapa’au | A Summer Herb: Ground Ivy {Glechoma hederacea}

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

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

Also, Known As:

  • Alehoof
  • Cat’s-foot
  • Creeping Charlie
  • Field Balm
  • Gill Run Over
  • Ground Ivy
  • Haymaids
  • Hedge Maid
  • Wild Snakeroot

Ground ivy is a herb-like plant that grows perennially up to a height of 8 inches to 20 inches (20 cm to 50 cm) and has a square stem that produces circular, having well-serrated leaves. The flowers of this herb have a purple-blue hue, which has the propensity to become pale mauve. This is primarily owing to the fact because the blossoming may endure for three months or even more – which is basically extraordinary for any wildflower. The leaves emit a camphor smell having an essence of peppermint and citronella.

There was a time when ground ivy was very well accepted for its therapeutic as well as culinary properties. However, currently, homeowners consider this plant bearing violet-blue blooms as a weed since it invades the lawns. Even herbalists practically neglect…

Card of the Day – The Tower – Saturday, June 23, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Whoa! So, if you have been keeping track of these things, you will know that the last time we saw the Tower card was May 16 (Note, this info is always included in my post). There is no such thing as coincidence people, and its previous appearance coincided with the entrance of Uranus into Taurus. Uranus is the planet of shock and surprise, bringing many things to light, and events which could not possibly be anticipated, basically mimicking the Tower card itself. Now, mind you, the drastic changes, and shocking turn of events which this card represents do not need to be negative ones. There will be noteworthy global events, even climate-related, Mother Earth-type of news, so pretty muchanything can and will happen.

However, insofar as our Tower card and Uranus in Taurus are concerned today, I do feel that out-of-the-blue occurrences will indeed run the gamut, both positive…

Peppermint

Botanical Name: Mentha x piperita.

Family Name: LAMIACEAE or LABIATAE

All true mints belong to the genus Mentha. Peppermint is a hybrid plant, a cross between watermint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata). 

Common Names: Peppermint, mint, menthol

Habitat: Peppermint is found growing wild in the moist soils of the warmer parts of Europe, Asia, and America. It was cultivated in Europe but also in America, where it has become a vital crop over the last one hundred years. Peppermint is a perennial shrub which grows best in very moist soils with high water-holding capacity. While the plant has proved invaluable in medicine, for both topical and oral uses, it is also used widely in the perfume, soap and of course the food industries, becoming the most commercially important of the Mentha species. It has a fresh odor and a persistent cooling…
