My 2nd 13 Thursday
1.
Many Native Americans share the knowledge of the thirteen moons on a turtle’s back. As children they are taught to examine the segments on the back of every turtle. There are thirteen large segments which represent the thirteen moons which make up the lunar year. By counting the smaller segments around the lower edge of the shell, you will find there are 28, which represents the 28 days between new moons.

Thursday's Horoscope:
With the Moon in your sign, you are driven to action, yet it's not as essential as it seems to do anything today. If you cannot get away for a retreat in the next week or so, at least set aside 10-20 minutes a day for quiet contemplation. Your thoughts are operating at a subconscious level now and it is less important for you to communicate them than it is for you to hear them. Meditation can bring increased awareness and soothe your nerves.
