New Moon blessings to all! Welcome to the biggest day of the year! If you have already listened to the video below which is over on YouTube, then you are aware what a big deal we have going on today. Not only is today the New Moon in Taurus, but, after spending seven years in Aries, Uranus, planet of shock and surprise, moves into Taurus only a few short hours after the New Moon takes place. Taurus is a bit like an immovable object which is hard to budge, similar to our Devil card with his subjects being held captive in chains. Uranus plans to shake things up in a bigway, and if you are aware of how your life was affected over the last seven years while in Aries, then expect to be released from those shackles.
The Devil card covers situations which we think we can not…

Errata: The story incorrectly stated the Taro Security and Purity Task Force was involved in the GMO taro issue. They were not in existence at the time and are mandated not to become involved.
Attā hi attano nātho;
ko hi nātho paro siyā?
Attanā hi sudantena,
nāthaṃ labhati dullabhaṃ.
One truly is the protector of oneself;
who else could the protector be?
With oneself fully controlled,
one gains a mastery that is hard to gain.

As the energies shift, there is a restless vibe to put plans into motion to manifest your greatest wishes. This can present itself as a challenge, perhaps because Mars is already in its shadow phase, but the urge to push forward and move on still remains. There is a sense of building taking place here during the first three months; the idea of moving into new territory does not seem to available until Mars is direct in late August. Hasty actions will not do during the first several months of this transit, and may leave you chomping at the bit to make it a new phase. Aquarius is a group-oriented sign, so do be sure to work well with others to help bring about your desired changes.
Hang in there; remain steadfast in the pursuit of your hopes and dreams. You have certainly come too far to give up now…

It’s back to the rat race today with the nose-to-the-grindstone energy of the 8 of Pentacles. This card demands that you show up on time and do the job right. The scope goes way beyond work itself, asking that you block out the distractions of the outside world and put your focus into the task-at-hand. Today is one of those days which could see you staying long after everyone else is gone, whether there is overtime pay involved or not.
This is a good time to review your To-Do List and see what you can accomplish today. It is important to be meticulous and give your projects your all. Take pride in your work ethic, even if it is only for a personal matter on which you are working. There is a tendency here to want to get it right the first time. It is also a good time to…

Hawaii Maolis – we LOVE our mountains….LOVE them – even the dormant ones.
The photo is of Kilauea, and the deity is none other than the one that the world knows the very most about – The Goddess of the Volcano – Madame Pele.
Most of us Maolis call her “Mama Pele” and mostly “Tutu Pele” and either way it matters. Respect is a big deal to #AllUsGuys…respect….Maolis everywhere are BIG on it, no matter which island nation we originate from. It doesnʻt matter.

Happy Mother’s Day to Moms of all types out there, whether you’re doing it on your own, a Dad pulling double duty, Mom to furbabies, or even a more traditional Mom. After having the Empress card yesterday, I wondered how could we equal, or top it…the Strength card fits the bill. When we think of Mom, we typically think of an incredibly strong individual who has been our rock and our support system, no matter our age. Soft control comes to mind here. One does not need to be bossy or confrontational in a situation, and Moms everywhere have a tendency to use these methods of persuasion to keep the peace and control outcomes.
On the flip side, there are those who find themselves in situations which, ifone is trying to keep the peace, they feel they must bite their tongue and refrain from verbalizing what they are really…

A new commitment is blossoming at the time of the New Moon in Taurus. Talk about giving birth to a new phase! Exchanging ideas with the right people can heighten creativity to the max and prove to be very fruitful indeed. In some way, however, you still feel stifled, as there is so much more you wish to be and do. Accept the new beginnings which are coming your way at this time and use them to aid in your search of all that you desire.
You are seeing things differently now, especially with regard to your past and how you would go about manifestation. There is much more clarity available to you, and through this clarity, you are able to free yourself from any type of restraints by the New Moon in September. What you begin now may take time to bring to complete fruition, likely due to the…

Whether you’re an experienced farmer or completely new to the world of gardening, medicinal herbs offer a unique growing experience. In this article, you’ll learn the steps you need to take to create a living herbal apothecary outside your door. If you have the land to cultivate and would like to grow your own herbs, start right here.
Gardening begins with the soil; it’s the “ground of our being,” to borrow a phrase. If you take care of the soil, the soil, in turn, will nourish and feed the plants you grow for healing and health.
An important first step in growing outdoors is to find what kind of soil you have. Take a handful of soil from a couple different places in your yard or on your land, make sure each one is somewhat moist, squeeze it gently in your fist, and…

The familiar heather plant – Calluna vulgaris – belongs to the Ericaceae plant family. The plant is an evergreen shrub that has many branching stems and can reach one to two feet in length when fully grown. The heather is characterized by the possession of minute and needle-like leaves, each of which is about one-sixteenth to one-eighth of an inch in length.
