Merry Meet Everyone! Welcome to our first week of tarotscopes! I will be working on posting these each Sunday evening so that you’ll have them for your week to come. This being our first time out with them, I’m going to be aided in my work with the amazing limited edition Gaian Tarot which came out this week from one of my favorite artists, Joanna Powell Colbert. I will be posting a review of the deck on Monday and will be sharing some of my thoughts on this incredible piece of art and magick that I think any Pagan/earth-centric reader should have. All the images used here are from the deck and can be found at the Gaian Tarot site (view the Major Arcana cards here or the Minor Arcana cards here). But enough gushing, on with the tarotscopes!
Tarotscopes for Monday, March 15, 2010 through Sunday, March 21, 2010
Aries The Builder
This week you will find yourself coming face to face with making some important decisions either at work or at home that will require you to take on the role of leader, whether you like the role or not. The key will be to take the knowledge and wisdom that you have and use it in a way that encourages those around you to want to rally together and work as a team rather than feel that they are being dominated by you or cast in your shadow. There is a fine line to walk between being a good leader and being a bossy whip-cracker and this week those lines will need to be clearly walked and understood. Know that you are good at what you do and people respect you for your skills and wisdom, but if you don’t have the gentle touch when you’re doing these things, those skills will be lost on everyone around you.
Taurus The Tree
If you’ve been feeling like you’ve been stuck, hanging suspended in time with little movement toward the goals that you’d like to see yourself achieve, it may be that you’re missing a lesson in the process. Sometimes in order to get where we want to go we need to stop and slow down, take a moment to relax and find out inner peace, find our center, and then we’ll be able to move forward. A lot of the time when we get to this point our ego gets in the way, telling us things like “you’re better than this” or “nobody knows what is really happening, only you do”. Stagnation in a project, problems moving ahead at work, even problems between friends and family that have resulted in a stalemate and that frustrated “why can’t you listen to me and do what I ask” feeling might be of your own making. Stop and take some time to think about things and find your inner peace before you snap and do or say something you might regret later.
Gemini Five of Fire
If you’ve been holding on to anger, holding a grudge or not addressing the real issues that might be bubbling under the surface these days, then it’s time to stop and consider what it is that you might fear concerning the situation and those involved. Now is the not the best time to be playing with fire and this week, if you find yourself feeling that inner rage for whatever reason, let cooler heads prevail and give yourself the chance to see what it is that you’re really avoiding once the smoke clears. This week watch your temper and be especially aware of your words; think before you speak and remember that you run just as much risk of burning yourself with your anger as you do someone else.
Cancer The Lovers
This week your focus and direction should be to find and seek out whatever it is that drives you, whatever it is that you’re passionate about, and whatever it is that you love. If you’re in a relationship, whether you’re only just starting to date someone or if you’ve been married for years, make sure to take time this week to let this person know how you feel and let them know you care. An unexpected surprise date, a handmade gift as a token of your appreciation or just a few well placed kind words will do wonders at fostering that loving connection this week. Remember to look at your love for yourself as well. Sometimes we spend so much time thinking about how we express the love we have for our partner that we neglect love of the self. Take some time this week, even if it’s just an hour or two one evening, to really spend time on something that fuels your love of life and sparks your personally passion.
Leo The Moon
Monday of this week brings us a New Moon, and it’s a time to welcome new beginnings and start new projects. Begin your week anew with this moon cycle this week and pay attention to how you feel as the growing power of the moon increases throughout the week. Do you feel your energy raising and your passions growing? Monday is a great day to make plans for something that you’d like to draw some energy of growth to for the week, whether it’s something at home or at work. Pay extra attention to your dreams this week as you may find that they are more vivid or helpful than usual. Go to bed each night with the intention to gather this growing lunar energy in your dreams to find the answers to anything that has been troubling you from the previous weeks. Let your intuition guide you.
Virgo Seven of Fire
Change doesn’t happen without action, and now is the time to make some big changes but you need to make a risk first. It’s time to get down and dirty and deal with things in a direct and exact manner. This week you might find yourself faced with people and situations that you have been trying to handle in a gentle and cautious manner up to now, but the braking point to really make a move and create the change you desire is here. This week look for the things in your life that you want to change, whether it’s ending a bad relationship, making a play for a job promotion, or taking the risk to see your ultimate life’s dream come to pass. You need to make a move, take a risk, and do something that might be a little frightening, but necessary, in order to create the happiness you deserve and the life you desire. Nobody else is responsible for these things other than you, so make them happen.
Libra Ace of Fire
You’ve been holding back on wanting to try something new and that energy and desire can’t be contained any longer. You’ll find yourself this week in a place of fiery passion, ready to be reborn of the ashes of the past and ready to move into a fiery rebirth of creativity. If you’ve been considering taking a risk with something creative, anything from an artistic venture to a new business project, now is the time to start putting the steps in motion. There is possibility that your own personal fears and worries of failure could hold you back and if you let this take over you could miss a great opportunity to make this project happen. If you’ve had false starts in the past, this time you can make it happen, so don’t hold back and let your inner fire fuel that desire!
Scorpio Four of Fire
This week it might be time to stop and take a little “me” time to celebrate yourself rather than focus so much of your energy on everyone else around you. If you’ve been feeling a lack of energy, a feeling of depletion or a sense of restlessness, it’s because you’ve let the outer world intrude too much on your inner personal world and those inner fires needs to be fanned once again. Set aside time on a daily basis, if possible, to have some time in sacred space for meditation and honoring yourself and your accomplishments. The New Moon this week makes this a perfect time to start a new tradition of taking time to tend your spiritual fires on a daily basis, even if for only 10 minutes each day, so that you don’t find yourself hitting these burnout points in the future. For all the energy you give to others, never forget to give some to yourself as well.
Sagittarius Child of Water
Sometimes listening to our emotions and letting them flow naturally can be difficult, but this week it will happen in a way that will be gentle, yet carry some urgent messages for you. Let your child-like sense of wonder give you a new perspective on emotional issues, allowing you a chance to really listen to dreams and intuitive signs this week in order to help guide you through any challenges you might be faced with. If you find you start to get overwhelmed with your personally feelings and reactions when dealing with others that are particularly prone to emotional imbalance this week, pull yourself gently from the situation and all them to stir the waters of someone else’s life for the time being. Don’t be afraid to see out help from those around you if you need it, you are loved and you will have the support you need if you just ask.
Capricorn Eight of Earth
Patience and diligence are the keys for you this week especially if you find that you need to help others in a student/teacher situation. No matter who you are or what you do, you are a teacher for someone and a student of someone else in all areas of life at all times. This week you may find yourself in a position of having to help guide and share your skills and knowledge with someone at work who is in need of training in a specific area. Have patience as they begin their work and remember that you were once in their shoes, hoping that the one to guide you would have the patience to let you learn and grow. If you find yourself in the role of student this week be patient with yourself and know that no skill, no task, is mastered overnight. Give yourself the time to learn whatever new skill presented to you and allow yourself the chance to enjoy the experience of your new journey, always remember that’s what life is really about, not the destination.
Aquarius Three of Earth
It’s time to start thinking this week about some of the aspects of live that really make it worth living; out friends, our community, the people that we connect to on a deep and spiritual level. Family is always a wonderful thing but this week take some time to focus on and foster some connection with your family of choice as opposed to your family of birth. If you have been so focused on home and work these weeks and months past, then this week give your free time over to those who make up the spiritual family you have placed yourself in. If you feel you don’t have the time, you need to make the time; when we use the “I don’t have time for friends” excuse we cut ourselves off from some of the most rewarding experiences life affords. This week gather together friends to either work on something together, a creative or artistic project (come together for a scrapbooking night, try your hands at a “cooking class” together at someone’s home, try making a friendship blanket together) and do something that not only gives you the chance to create in the physical but in the spiritual as well.
Pisces Nine of Fire
When people see you they often see someone of power and confidence; you know what you want and you usually know how to get it. You have come to a point of self-awareness and others around you look to you to feed off of that energy. And while it’s great to be able to have that and share that with others, don’t forget to recharge that battery on a daily basis. This week look at how you project yourself and your sense of self to others. Observe how people look at you, react to you, and how they listen to you and weigh that against how you see yourself and how you feel about yourself. Take some time to find inner peace and balance this week, remembering that we are beings composed of light and dark. Give yourself some time to center and harmonize your inner and outer selves.
Have a great week everyone!!
