About Fortuna Redux: This aspect of Fortuna specifically watches over all travelers, especially now that the weather might make for unsafe conditions. Whenever you travel, she goes with you to make a happier, luckier journey filled with success. She can also give you predictions about what to expect during your travels.
To Do Today: If you've been thinking about planning a trip, today is
the perfect time to start. Fortuna Redux will make sure you get good connections, directions, hotels, or whatever you need so your journey will go off without a hitch. No matter where you have to go today, you can take this goddess's blessing with you simply by carrying some chamomile tea bags or placing an oak leaf in your shoe. This invokes her protection on your car, the bus, train, or any other mode of transportation to help you avoid mishaps and traffic jams en route! Better still, if the day gets hectic, you can drink the tea for improved luck! To see what the future holds in terms of travel, try sprinkling some loose chamomile over a damp surface (ideally your car's hood). Look to see what patterns emerge. If the flowers form an octagon, for example (the shape of a stop sign), this might be a message to stop your plans temporarily. If they form a wheel, the pattern could be interpreted as an omen to travel by car or bus.
