Pāli Word a Day for May 17, 2018 — nirābādha — free from sickness or distress

Imesu kira sajjanti,
Eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā;
Viggayha naṃ vivadanti
Janā ekaṅgadassino.

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – 8 of Cups – Thursday, May 17, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

It is time to leave something be for a while, perhaps not permanently, but at least for the interim, because it appears you have better things which you need to be doing. This is a card of moving on and abandoning something, likely due to disappointment because it just wasn’t turning out the way you planned. At one time it appears to have been a good thing, but lately there may simply be too much nonsense attached and this does not suit you.

Right now, you have only a few short weeks to really make things happen before the big slowdown of 2018 begins, so turning your back on situations, people and projects, which are not currently worth your effort, can free you up to explore new possibilities. It could be at a later date that you choose to revisit this topic, but, for now, it is in your best…

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – The Tower – Wednesday, May 16, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Holy guacamole, Batman! Can you say Uranus? Uranus is now officially in the sign of Taurus, and this planetary shift brings with it sudden, shocking, even earth-shattering events. If you thought you knew how things were going to go down, chances are you will be very surprised. The Tower card signifies exactly the type of sudden, drastic change which Uranus can bring. We are to believe that Uranus has a plan, and that by the time it moves into Gemini in 2026, it will have totally rearranged an area of your life, not once, but multiple times, until you are where it is you truly belong with a particular facet of your journey.

Among the things we can expect from the Tower card are the possibility of catasrophic weather and earthly uproars, which tend to occur when Uranus shifts signs. However, this time we are dealing with Taurus, a…
