Apr 2, 1513:
Ponce de Leon discovers Florida

Near present-day St. Augustine, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon comes ashore on the Florida coast, and claims the territory for the Spanish crown.

Although other European navigators may have sighted the Florida peninsula before, Ponce de Leon is credited with the first recorded landing and the first detailed exploration of the Florida coast. The Spanish explorer was searching for the "Fountain of Youth," a fabled water source that was said to bring eternal youth. Ponce de Leon named the peninsula he believed to be an island "La Florida" because his discovery came during the time of the Easter feast, or Pascua Florida.

In 1521, he returned to Florida in an effort to establish a Spanish colony on the island. However, hostile Native Americans attacked his expedition soon after landing, and the party retreated to Cuba, where Ponce de Leon died from a mortal wound suffered during the battle. Successful Spanish colonization of the peninsula finally began at St. Augustine in 1565, and in 1819 the territory passed into U.S. control under the terms of the Florida Purchase Treaty between Spain and the United States.

"With children we always have to think about seven generations to come but yet unborn."

-- Janice Sundown Hattet, SENECA

What we do today will effect the children seven generations form now. How we treat the Mother Earth will affect the children yet to be born. If we poison the water today, our children's children will be affected by the decision we made. Our children are the gateway to the future. Let us conscientiously think about the children and the seven generations to come.

My Creator, I thank you for my ancestors, seven generations ago

"Tell the people not to cry. Tell them to be happy."

-- John Fire Lame Deer, LAKOTA (told to his son, Archie, as he died)

Our Elders know about the two Worlds, the Physical World and the Spiritual World. Many times, before we pass to the Spirit World, our relatives, who have gone there before us, will come for us and they will help us. The Spirit World, the Elders say, is a good, happy, and harmonious place. When we die, it means we have only entered another world. We will all see one another again.

Great Spirit, allow me to understand both the Spirit World and the Physical World. Today, let me be happy

ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Feelings are harsh today. Someone wants to be in control and will do almost anything to achieve it. You need to be prepared to stand up for yourself without being as ruthless as anyone who would victimize you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You want to make a good impression and do a good job. You're willing to endure a lot to see projects to completion and perfection. The day favors learning and travel.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You require a large group of people around you, the better to stand out and be noticed. You want to lead but more than that you want to take people someplace where they can feel fulfilled.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It's very important to treat people fairly. The wrong move could create a vindictive reaction. Your actions must have good reasons to back them up, which must be made clear to all involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are, in some way, a personal trainer today. You have a good idea of how to teach someone. You meet someone who wants to be like you or who needs to be shown how to achieve the same as you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): People are attracted to you because you can articulate what's already on their minds. You need to stay genuine and speak only for yourself, however. You could become trapped by trying to be what others want you to be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You feel as if you're in a prison and can't get out. Your options are limited and the chains of obligation, guilt and shame are strong. You are highly challenged to break free of them and live more free and more honestly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There is a great need to share information and probably just as great resistance to do so. Someone with a need-to-know mentality is hard to convince that you really do need to know it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are highly sensitive now. You desire approval and can feel crushed by disapproval. You must remain low-key and undramatic. Becoming the center of attention could turn out bad.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You feel a strong need to protect yourself today. In most cases, this is simply protecting your vested interests but, in many cases, this could also mean protecting your reputation, your possessions or your person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Issues of personal integrity are important to you now, especially since it seems in short supply. However, don't alienate people with unfounded suspicions. You need to work on feeling and cultivating trust.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you are preoccupied by money, then you aren't managing it well. A good investment should be taking care of itself, by and large. You must endeavor to set your money on a path that needs only occasional tweaking.

"Sacred sites and areas are protection for all people — the four colors for man — and these sites are in all areas of the earth in the four directions."

-- Traditional Circle of Elders, NORTHERN CHEYENNE

The Elders say that values come from the Mother Earth. Different places and areas around the Earth have different values. The Water people live in harmony and know the values that correspond to that particular part of the Earth. The Desert people know the values of the desert and respect and live in harmony with that part of the Earth. The Woodland people know the values of their part of the Earth and live in harmony. If you live in harmony with the Earth, you will live a life that is full of values. We should have great respect for the Mother Earth.

Grandfather, today, let me learn values from Mother Earth.

ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Relationships can relax now after a bit of tension. Relief is at hand but this can be joyful for some and sad for others. This is a day that seems like a postscript to the main event.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have cause to feel anxious about finances today. You may not have the Monet you were expecting. It's important to heed your concerns but act wisely about the situation instead of being paralyzed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You feel that you aren't living up to your job standards. Someone can make you feel inadequate. From the start, you need to go to work determined to do your best and live up to your employer's mission.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Suspicion attaches to someone in charge. You feel you can't believe everything you're told. You need to make your own decisions based on what you can verify, while still doing what's expected of you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You tend to doubt reports, perhaps without good reason to do so. It may make good sense to suspend belief on early stories but don't let it linger as the evidence comes in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are easily displeased but hold your feelings inside until you know the whole story. Many people are having a bad day, so don't make it worse than it already is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It may be that you relent from a stubborn position today. You can see the sense in an idea you've been resisting. You can move forward if you stop resisting and use good sense.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You're feeling low on energy today. It's best to stay within your limits and not push yourself too hard. Pay careful attention to a proper diet and to the proper doses and schedules of any medications you may be taking.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You take situations too personally today. It would be better to ignore unpleasant things people say and do since they aren't indications of a permanent attitude but of a passing mood instead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A sense of privation moves you to hoard. You want to stem losses but you should also give careful consideration to letting go of what you no longer need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be wise about spending money but creative about how to earn it. Don't rely on just one plan for anything but have a variety of approaches and several alternatives to your main path.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You feel very apprehensive today. You may feel you're being led down the wrong path. Stop and think things through. You must trust your instincts and distinguish them from baseless fears.

"...you have to believe it first. Not wait until you see it first, then touch it, then believe it...You have to say it from the heart."

-- Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA

We are designed to function from faith. First we pray. Then we use our imagination to create a vision or picture in our mind. We surround this mental picture with our emotions or feelings. These feelings are available when we ask or say it from the heart. The combination of the mental picture and asking from the heart to create the emotions will cause us to believe it. Then we just need to wait. We need to believe as though it is already done.

Great Spirit, remove from me any doubt that comes up today

ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You mobilize resources toward a goal today. A big enterprise is begun. The more unique it is, the more successful it's likely to be. It's important that you feel passionate about the success of your venture.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Inwardly, you are confident but when it comes to action you try to accomplish too much. Moderate your efforts, and strike a balance between what you have the energy to do and the results you get from it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You're liable to become agitated unnecessarily. Whether good or bad, fantasies are blown out of proportion to what's really going on. Calm your mind through meditation, for example, and don't let your imagination get out of control.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Progressing toward your goals involves what you do to succeed, as much as how many impediments you get rid of. Emotional, intellectual and physical blocks must be addressed and eliminated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are positioned for success today. Expand your contacts, which for some can mean an international outreach. The wider your audience, the more likely you can connect with people you can deal with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You want to be right but in order to win your motives must be honorable. The truth must be your overriding concern now, so set partisanship aside so that justice and fairness may reign.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Some are inclined to make a financial contribution to a worthy cause. Many can begin projects with a big result, though they must start out small. Don't do something because someone makes you feel obligated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There is a lot of drama in relationships today. You gain and lose friends. A general shake-out occurs probably leaving you with associates who are more compatible with your ambitions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You see how it is possible and necessary to step up from a hobbyist to a skilled worker or from a worker to a professional. An upgrade in work or health is clearly seen as important.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You make a big impression today but your delivery can be too dramatic. You're challenged to push your agenda forward instead of simply getting attention. Combine compelling flair with genuine arguments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your awareness of what's going on in the world makes you concerned for your family. You seek ways to think globally and act locally. You want to upgrade and improve home and property.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have an excellent grasp of details and how they connect to big ideas and theories, You may be lacking in ways of acting on your understanding, however, and should try harder in this.
