July 24 Moon enters ARIES in the A.M. and we get re-energized, pepped up, restless and easily bored. We need to start something. We want action. We are fired up. Aries Moon makes people’s tempers flare up quickly. Watch out for the back fire and at BB Q’s. I did Sunday’s astrology for the Weekend update in previous article.
Inspirational DAILY CARD
OSHO TAROT 7 of pentacles/ disks/ coins/ earth
The 7 of disks is related to the Planet SATURN in TAURUS
It is after the balance of the 6’s and before the 8’s of transformation.
Saturn in Taurus symbolizes a karmic test by the architect of Reality, of working through the 3D earth reams. Working in very earthy, practical, hard working, sensuous, patient plodding ways. Salt of the earth, daily maintenance stuff. This card represents the patient toiling on a project, business, growing a garden and the long term steps necessary to create a great project.
You may be feeling weary, tired and depressed from Saturn’s tests. You may feeling this pressure more if you have Planets at 5-15 degrees of SAGITTARIUS, VIRGO or PISCES or GEMINI. Trust me, I do.
It can be easy to feel somewhat defeated but this is an important turning point. This is the liminal point, the event horizon as it were. It’s like the crowning of the baby;s head during the birth, its all ready but the baby still needs to move down the vaginal canal to be born. It’s time to look at all you have done so far, take a breath and get ready to go forwards again renewed.
Have a great Sunday.

March 8 Pisces Solar eclipse is also a SUPER MOON when the moon is closes to the earth.
Today we are asked to dive deep with the Dolphins,whales, Mermaids and Mermen into the oceanic waters of consciousness to dream new dreams. This is a Super NEW MOON to plant seeds of pearlescent positive, miracles. We dream it then it happens. Everything began as a dream. You are a dream which became real. On this special day-dream awake, be clear about your emotions.
We transition from spirit into the physical realm through the water in our mother’s wombs. We are mainly made of water. Dr. Emoto demonstrated how our thoughts affect the structure of water. So think pure positive thoughts. Send lots of positive energy to heal the Pacific ocean which has been irradiated from Fukushima every day for the last 5 years. Many dolphins whales and fish are stranding themselves from radiation poisoning and this isn’t being featured in the media. Water is our most important resource and there are many droughts worldwide. The Kogi People up in the high mountains of Columbia who work in the most spiritual realms have had drought for the last two years. Flint Michigan is the canary in the coalmine as well, as other parts of the world with bad contaminated water including the Alberta Tar Sands in Canada.
Spend some time today chanting and doing mantras. According to Tibetan Buddhists you can get ONE HUNDRED MILLION TIMES the Good Karma during solar eclipses from saying specific mantras and following certain precepts. Seven million times good karma on a lunar eclipse.
You don’t have to be a strict Tibetan Buddhist to get 100 million times the benefits on this auspicious day.
ChantOM MANI PADME HUM at least 108 times will give you great blessings. Catholics also say 108 Hail Mary’s.
My Western born {Hamilton Ontario} Tibetan Buddhist guru translated the famous mantra as “O mama take me home.” You can say that too if it works for you. Especially on International Women’s Day. Ask to become enlightened quickly for the sake of all sentient beings. This is called taking refuge.
At the very least, do not kill, do not get angry, do no harm.
“Do what thou wilt and harm none.” LOVE IS ALL, Love thyself without vanity or ego attachment.
The strict rules are to take the 8 Mahayana precepts for at least 24 hours and understand why
1. Not killing: human beings or others, even with the mind. 2 .Not stealing: anything of value possessed by another being, or taking anything with force; also borrowing things for a long time so that maybe the owner will forget. 3. Not having sexual intercourse: the power of the physical thing going out; any action that brings an orgasm. 4. Not telling lies. 5. Not taking intoxicants; not smoking poisonous plants. 6. Not sitting on a high and rich throne without Dharma reason, or on a high rich bed. 7. Not eating after noon until the following sunrise. This is mainly to control the negative mind of greed. Also, eating at night makes the evening meditation hard. The one meal is taken to protect the life for Dharma. 8. Not putting on perfume or jewelry with greed that is attached to temporal comfort; also no singing, dancing or playing music with samsaric desire, being attached to the temporal comfort. All of these are totally to combat greed.
These precepts have to be taken when there is just a little light, from one dawn time till the next.
