Bringing happiness to others[edit]
Celebrating Vesākha also means making special efforts to bring happiness to the unfortunate like the aged, the handicapped and the sick. To this day, Buddhists will distribute gifts in cash and kind to various charitable homes throughout the country. Vesākha is also a time for great joy and happiness, expressed not by pandering to one’s appetites but by concentrating on useful activities such as decorating and illuminating temples, painting and creating exquisite scenes from the life of the Buddha for public dissemination. Devout Buddhists also vie with one another to provide refreshments and vegetarian food to followers who visit the temple to pay homage to the Enlightened One.
In Indonesia, Wesak lanterns are made from paper and wood. Feed the birds, feed the dreams.

Enhanced Energy Today: Love, balance, harmony, law, order and spirituality. Be courageous and follow your passion. Preparing a creative field to harvest the benefits within the proper time.
The two main stars of this constellation are:
1. Zubeneschamali, the north-pan of the Libra which means 'price received' (benevolent).
2. Zubenelgenubi, the south-pan of Libra (claw of the scorpion) which means 'price to be paid' (malevolent).
This describes the constant struggle between good (god) and evil (devil).
Light Energy: When the moon visits this Mansion it is a good time to be assertive. When we are courageous and assertive it makes us powerful beyond measure. It demands respect and builds strength of character. It is a good time to get rid of all unwanted things. Throw out all the old stuff and clothes that are no longer needed. Put an end to bad habits and energy patterns that are no longer useful. You may be called on to be the mediator between two parties who disagree. You will have to take the scorpion by the claw, tell it as it is, address issues by the name and point out what is wrong and what is right. Today is also a good day for legal and medical advice. It is time to step up to your life's purpose without delay, hesitation or compromise. If you don't know your purpose, follow your passion, it will lead you straight to your life's purpose. Today is also a good day for L O V E, romance, flowers, chocolates, champagne, sushi and whatever it takes to spoil yourself. A good day to buy merchandise for later profit.
Dark Energy: I see a bad moon rising: Double Trouble! Domestic violence, miscarriage of justice, psychotic killings! This is not a good day for travel and also warns us against violence, crime, disgrace, disease and poison.
Manifest Magic and Miracles: Work for justice, fairness, balance, harmony, courage, strength and to sort out differences between people. Do a love and romance spell and remember to include flowers, candles, champagne, chocolates, fragrance and rose quartz. Burn Camphor to form a protective smoke.
Magic in the Bible: Read out loud psalm 20 for justice; psalm 39 for courage to confront and sort out problems; psalm 91 for protection.
