Justice Prevails

March 3rd, 2010



I went to court today. I was nervous this morning so I asked my tarot deck for some words of encouragement and drew the 3 of pentacles… again! Three times I have laid a spread for this specific issue and all three times, the 3 of pentacles told me that with teamwork and adequate preparation, I was up to the challenge and would prevail.

Well!! The three of pentacles was right! I kept wondering what the teamwork was. I wondered fleetingly if I should make my Husband take the day off and go along. I’d heard that the small claims judge is, himself, a landlord and wondered if it was teamwork from him that would prove useful.

As it turned out, the person who worked most completely to my aid and advantage was the woman whom I was suing! Between the two of us, we got judgment in my favor in the amount of $3000 for abandoned bills and damages. I almost didn’t even have to talk. She dug a great big gaping hole and then jumped right into it. It was amusing to say the least.

So! Justice really does prevail while that gorgeous Moon transits through Libra.

~ Today, Wednesday (3-3-10) @ 3:43pm EST, the Moon will v/c until 9:11pm this evening ~

I managed to have my court time land first thing this morning so I was victorious and finished before noon and while still firmly in Libra’s balance of justice.

The rest of today I’ll be happy to just be home. I’ve got roaster chickens going into the crock pot at 3, and then some basic household chores to do. I’m ALMOST done listening to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! It’s wonderful! Listening to audio books could very well be described as something that makes me look forward to housework :)

~ When She rights her course @ 9:11pm EST, She’ll move into Scorpio where She’ll remain, from Wednesday evening until 11:32pm EST on Friday (3-5-10) ~

My almanac says:Scorpio increases awareness of psychic power. Precipitates psychic crises and ends connections thoroughly. People tend to brood and become secretive under this moon sign.”

In the zodiac, Scorpio has rule over taxes, inheritances and investment banking. This House is also said to govern those things or forces that are invisible for example, the world of magic.

~ Moon Manifestation Tarot Card ~

*Eight of Swords*
I believe this card is telling me to be well aware of my options for they are many. I am not powerless, but to the contrary, I have much power right at my fingertips.

~ My Plan: Wednesday evening through Friday Night ~

Well!! Tonight I print out the paperwork needed to claim an official business name so we may take it with us to the meeting we have in the morning with a business development office before we head to the bank to speak with an investment and loan officer.

How wonderful to have the eight of swords reminding me that we have more options than we may think. I might’ve maybe sort of been the teensiest bit worried about it. Not anymore! Things are just going wonderfully with all clear skies and smooth sailing as far as the eye can see!

Ya know, it also occurs to me that I’m very actively in the market for a new laptop. I feel pretty powerless in this area because I am admittedly technologically challenged. I’m improving and learning as I go, but when it comes to being in the know and understanding the options on computers, I’m sort of… inept.

When I draw a tarot card for the moon transit, I ask, “Please give me a piece of guidance to take me through this next short cycle, from now through (whatever day).” For today, I said Friday.

I was thinking about doing a little bit of laptop shopping after our appointments tomorrow. I suppose that eight of swords covers THAT little adventure too.

I’m really loving this magical life. It seems the more completely I embrace it, the faster it rises up to assist me in everything I wish to do. I don’t feel like I NEED a lucky charm. I feel like I AM a lucky charm. Anyone want to carry me around in their pocket?

Creeds, Coins, & Courts

March 1st, 2010



Here is a very cool little poem I found. I like it very much and have printed it out for my book of light.
The Kitchen Witch’s Creed


In this pot, I stir to the sun
an’ follow the rule of harming none.

Banishment of bane when goin’ widdershins;
an’ with water and salt negativity is cleansed.

Household duties are more than chores.
Magic abounds when mopping floors.

With this broom, I do sweep
to clean my house and safely keep.

Marigold, Basil, Thyme, and Yarrow
my spell is cast for a better tomorrow.

Lemons for joy and apples for health
the pow’r within brings great wealth.

And, in this kitchen, I do pray
To truly walk the Witches’ Way.

~ Today, Monday (3-01-10) @ 12:36pm EST, the Moon will go v/c until 7:31pm this evening ~

I’m off to do some grocery shopping today. I spent yesterday getting household chores and schedules ready for this new month that’s upon us. I LOVE to organize. I usually organize the lists and schedules far better than I carry out the plans I set. This month will be different. I intend a different result and I will begin with different actions.

My first new plan of action is to only cook 2-3 times per week. I will make at LEAST 2 different meals per shot. One cooked meal, and one thrown together with leftovers. For example, cooking a whole roaster chicken and creating 2 chicken meals in a row using all the meat. The first meal being roasted chicken and the second being something making use of the already cooked chicken that can be thrown together with little to no cooking involved.

Today is the day I’d intended to put this plan into action, so while I’m doing very little during the v/c time, I’m going to hit the store with my list and collect the ingredients I’ll need to being said plan later this evening :)

~ When She rights her course @ 7:31pm EST, she’ll move into Libra where she’ll remain, from Monday evening until 3:43pm EST on Wednesday (3-03-10) ~

My almanac says: Libra favors cooperation, compromise, social activities, beautification of surroundings, balance, and partnership.

~ Moon Manifestation Tarot Card ~

*Seven of Swords*
When I was shuffling in preparation of drawing a card for this cycle through Libra, I had in mind specifically what was coming for me on Wednesday morning. When I began typing this post, I realized that I am due in court on Wednesday morning while the beautiful Moon still rests in Libra, the sign of balance and justice! I took it as good sign and decided to ask the cards.

The seven of swords speaks of a shirking of one’s responsibilities. Of deception and theft. Of running away and cowardice.

I found this card a bit disconcerting because I am the plaintiff in this law suit. We are suing our ex-tenants for $3000 for abandoned bills and damages. I found myself wanting clarification, so I decided to draw again.

*Does this first card represent ME or HER?*
*Eight of Swords*
Victimization. Feeling powerless. Confusion. Not understanding what’s going on.
That is DEFINITELY her. She signed a lease and then in the face of thousands done in damage, in only THREE MONTHS TIME, turns to me incredulously and declares, “None of that is MY fault!”

So hoping for a little more clarity, I decided to draw one more card and just turn this into a 3 card spread. I’m getting the impression that this is going to go easily my way, but nothing wrong with triple checking! *wink*

*What will be the outcome for me in court Wednesday?*
*Three of Pentacles*
Yay! This one tells me that so long as I’ve planned and prepared and am ready, it’s in the bag. It can also speak to working together and contributing to a group, and I have to wonder if it’s a peek at who our Judge will be. I know that there’s a judge in the small claims court that is, himself, a landlord. I’ve also heard that he’s not lenient with people who destroy other people’s property.

What a great spread for me. I’m VERY happy with it!

~ My Plan: Monday evening through Wednesday afternoon ~

Well, I plan to cook one large meal and throw together one small one. I plan to pick up my pictures (for court) while I’m out shopping today for the previously mentioned meals. While I’m gone, I intend to charge coins with expansion and abundance and leave them around the places I visit to share and spread the wonderful highness I’m experiencing today!!

Tomorrow I’m sure to be found collecting all my paperwork and organizing myself for my Wednesday date with Justice in Libra :)

Quickening Moon in Virgo

February 27th, 2010



Blessed Saturday to All!!

I’m having a very slow weekend.  As I sit here typing this, I still don my bed hair, jammie pants, and a big, over-sized sweatshirt.  Ah, the joy of a lazy weekend!

Today my only interest is relaxation and enjoyment, so in the spirit of my goals for today, I give you some things to smile about!

~ Today, Saturday (2-27-10) @ 3:15pm EST, the Moon v/c until 7:52pm this evening ~

As I’ve already stated and HAVE been saying for days now, my only interest at this time is rest and relaxation!  Coming out of illness and my personal moon cycle AND a lot of stress, being at peace and relaxed and calm are my only concerns right now.  The moon going void of course is always supportive of rest and recuperation mainly because it’s NOT supportive of beginnings or manifesting, which today, is fine by me!

~ When She rights her course @ 7:52pm EST, she’ll move into Virgo where she’ll remain, from Saturday evening, through our Quickening (Full) Moon @ 11:38am on Sunday, and until 12:36pm EST on Monday (3-01-10) ~

My almanac says: Virgo favors the accomplishment of details and commands from higher up.  Focus on health, hygiene, and daily schedules.

Virgo is an Earth sign and places emphasis on things that you might describe as grounding.  Things that are practical, functional, nurturing, stabilizing, etc..

** The Quickening Moon falls Sunday and it’s an AMAZING time for ritual and creation!  We know the Earth below us is stirring to life and we are but a few short weeks away from seeing the first visible signs of life emerging from our Mother.  Preform rituals for self growth and purpose.  What do you want to achieve personally? **

~ Moon Manifestation Tarot Card ~

*I find it ironic that I spilled a potted plant and covered my tarot deck with Earth as I reached for them to draw a card for my Earthy weekend :) *

** Queen of Cups **

The Queen of Cups is telling me to focus upon my intuition and psychic development during this Quickening Moon.  To say I’ve been feeling the quickening of psychic development a lot lately would be an incredibly accurate statement.  As I typed about personal goals and achievements above, I wondered in the back of my mind just what I should personally focus upon.  Looks as though I’ve gotten my answer.

~ My Plan: Saturday evening through Monday afternoon ~

The Full Moon is recognized over 3 days time.  The day before, day of, and day after.  I am very excited about this grounding and centering, Quickening Moon in Virgo.  Especially so now that I’ve drawn the Queen of Cups and am intending to focus upon that little psychic voice inside of me.  That little voice excites me quite thoroughly.

I’ve got no plans, nowhere to be, and nothing happening this weekend.  Not only that, but we’re in the middle of a 3 day snow storm and are quite literally snowbound right now.  How wonderfully perfect!

Today I’m simply going to spend time watching this beautiful storm and communing with my Spirit.  Tomorrow I will take advantage of the Full Moon and do a ritual for the expansion of my psychic vision.  Then Monday is my “Day Spa Monday” so i see no reason why I shouldn’t spend the day honoring my inner and outer Goddess & being at one with the Universe.  Sounds like pure bliss to me!

Plenty of grounding and centering going on.  Oodles of personal focus.  And my personal favorite, lots of rest and relaxation. As a side note, I need to pay some attention to my household cleaning schedule. Time to re-evaluate and rearrange some things. I know I’m not the only person who has some clutter and chaos at home. This weekend is a wonderful time for setting chore lists and schedules. Virgo’s energies are quite conductive to lists and schedules for the household.

What sort of personal goals will you focus on?  What do you want for you?!
