For this week’s tarotscopes I brought out a deck that I haven’t really worked with much but that I have really been wanting to spend some time with. The Vampire Tarot of the Eternal Night is one of the newer vampire themed decks that came out in the last year. Thanks to things like “Twilight” and “True Blood”, vampires are hot again and a number of tarot decks focused on vampires have come out recently. This one is easily one of my favorites because, not only is the artwork beautifully sleek and modern, but it also have a unique and different way of interpreting the cards. The companion book, written by Barbara Moore, walks you through the cards showing both the dark and light side of each card but also tying the card and it’s imagery into a unique vampire themed story. I really enjoyed working with these cards and will be writing up a review of the deck this week.
This week’s running theme within just about all the readings is that of letting go, trusting yourself and your intuition and dealing with some of the more difficult issues in relationships that we may have been working hard to try and cover up and hide. There are bumps in the road here and there for just about everyone this week, but nothing that can’t be taken care of with a little determination and desire.
Tarotscopes for Monday June 21, 2010 through Sunday, June 27, 2010
Aries Knave of Cups
Dealing with personal relationships this week may be a bit of a fragile thing and something that may have a bit of a one sided feel. You may find yourself somewhat obsessed with taking care of issues with certain people this week, determined to work out long standing issues that still hang in the air. Don’t let these things overtake your week and throw you off course from other things that need your attention. Not everyone is going to share your view on how to handle things and it will only make matters worse if you spend your time annoying everyone like a child that can’t handle being told no. Instead, if you find that communication is breaking down, step back and give yourself and everyone around you some room and soon enough the right opportunity for commutation will present itself.
Taurus Judgment
The time has come to make some serious life changes. You may have given some passing thought to changing your diet, changing how you spend your free time, or even changing the way you deal with those around you. Whatever it is, it’s time to make the changes and do what you need to do to move into a new phase of being who you are rather than just thinking about it. Part of this is the need to let go and release things that no longer are working for you. Is it possible that you haven’t made the change to your health because you don’t feel you have time for exercising or time to cook healthy meals at home? You need to let go of that self-imposed limitation and make the change. Rebirth only happens when you make the room for the change to really happen; stop being afraid to let go and change and instead welcome the dawning of a new you.
Gemini Six of Wands
Victory at last! You’ve worked hard to overcome obstacles and challenges lately and you have come out on top, but are you truly happy with where you have ended up? Have you come to a point where your victory is a lonely one? Victory won through “any means necessary” can end up being anything but a wonderful reason to celebrate. This week you may find yourself looking back at your recent personal victories wondering not only why nobody is celebrating with you, but also looking at the possible wounds that have been left through the process of your victory. While not always an easy process, if you find that you need to go back and make amends with people you may have hurt in order to gain what you desire, now is a time to start that process so that, in the end, you can heal your own wounds.
Cancer The Empress
Sometimes when we think about things like creation, life, and the power of the earth mother, we think of just the things that create physical life. All of us, male and female alike, have a mothering aspect that can create and nurture from a very deep place within, but it’s realizing the power that we have and then being bold enough to work with it, rather than against it, that makes all the difference. This week look to see what in your life needs nurturing and mothering. It could be that you yourself are the one that needs that care; take the time to do what you feel you need to in order to make yourself feel loved and nurtured. This is also a great time to start looking for ways to create, specifically from an intellectual perspective. Look into classes or workshops that interest you and find ways to use this inner creative energy to nurture your own intellectual self.
Leo Three of Wands
This week opportunity to make move on to something new and exciting may present itself but you’ll need to make the decision as to whether or not you’re ready, and willing, to jump without much forethought. There wont be a lot of time for considering and research and it’s possible that you could end up taking too long and seeing this opportunity pass you by. So don’t wait! A possible job opportunity that could mean a sudden change may present itself and you might not have a good deal of time to make the decision of whether or not to take it before you have to give your answer or see it pass you by. Sometimes changes are best made quickly like this otherwise we talk ourselves out of something that at first glance might seem great; how many times have you find yourself mulling over an opportunity, passing it up in the end, only to regret it later? Don’t wait, don’t think, just go with what feels right this week.
Virgo Three of Cups
It’s time to celebrate good friends and solid bonds with those around you. This week presents a great opportunity for you to get together with a few friends who truly mean something special to you and express to them how you really feel. Share with each other your thoughts and feelings that you may have been keeping inside for some times. While you’re taking the time to realize those around you who are special and who you have a lifelong connection in your heart to, also consider those around you that might not be the true friends that you have thought they were. Friendships created too quickly and under false pretense can lead to drama and problems down the road that nobody wants. If you find that there are people around you that fill this description, it might be time to cut those ties and focus on those who truly have your best interest at heart.
Libra Knight of Swords
Charging ahead, righting wrongs and clearing the way for future plans is the energy surrounding you this week. You may find that you’re ready to start cutting out the people and situations that are holding you back, but be careful that in your enthusiastic desire to move ahead and change your path that you aren’t just swinging your sword too carelessly. Sometimes when we get on a role with any sort of clearing and cleaning, we get to a point of doing it without even thinking; who hasn’t realized a few months after a rousing bout of spring cleaning that they threw away important papers or something sentimental that you never should have gotten rid of? When you make the decision to clear your path, try and do it with some thought first. If you need to get a better perspective and some helpful assistance, turn to a close friend who can give you an outside view to give you.
Scorpio Ten of Swords
For whatever reason, whether because you have just reached a point where it seems like the thing to do, or because you feel a sense of sadness and defeat, you have come to a point where you’re ready to release and let go of a long held dream or desire because things haven’t worked out how you had hoped. Whether it never came to pass or maybe because it isn’t turning out the way you had originally imagined, you’re ready to let go and give yourself release from a dream that may have become a confining nightmare. However, don’t deny the fact that there will be pain and sadness in making this decision. Give yourself time to mourn if you need to but know that a new dawn is coming.
Sagittarius The Fool
When we find ourselves at a crossroads, we forget to let our intuition guide us. We often get so hung up on the unknown and not knowing what the “right” thing to do is that we do nothing or find ourselves wandering around, somewhat aimless, not knowing what to do. This week you may find that you’re much like the Fool in the sense that you don’t have a specific path laid out for you, but instead of moving aimlessly let your inner guidance be the light that you need to find your way through any patches of darkness. There is order in chaos and you can find your way by just doing what feels right. As the week goes on you will find that situations, especially with friends, which have seemed somewhat confusing will finally begin to make more sense as you let this inner light show you the way to go.
Capricorn Strength
One of the biggest challenges with strength isn’t always being strong during difficult times but rather working through our own inner strength and overcoming temptations and finding ways to resist some of our more negative instincts. This week if you find yourself tempted to do things that you might normally be willing and able to pass up, take the time to sit down and give room for your rational thought process to come into play. When we are controlled or ruled by our instincts we sometimes forget to think through our actions before doing something that we might later regret. Give yourself the chance to think through your actions this week before possibly doing something that could ruin a lot of hard work you’ve put into so far.
Aquarius The Tower
In recent weeks it’s possible that you have been building up a wall, a barrier of sorts, surrounding yourself to create a form of protection to keep you from having to deal with some difficult decisions and emotions. By not gracefully dealing with what you had going on around you and creating this emotional fortress you are about to find that watching it tumble down around you, exposing you when you’re not ready, to be even more painful and difficult than if you’d just dealt with things head on from day one. You can stop the complete destruction of this metaphorical tower by heading off at the pass, so to speak, and beginning to address issues that you have been trying to hold back or avoid. One by one as you remove the layers of issues and concerns that are surrounding you you’ll find that any possible toppling of this “tower” will be less devastating overall.
Pisces Three of Swords
The pain and suffering that is caused by others around us can sometimes find their way into our own lives even when it’s not directed at us. This week you may find that something that someone else is doing, whether to others in their lives or even to themselves, begins to have a strong, profound and painful impact on you. Don’t try and deny it and don’t try and give this person more credit or leeway than they deserve. Maybe it’s watching the way someone is treating someone you care about or watching how someone around you is destroying their own life. Whatever it is, while it isn’t directed at you, you feel the pain nonetheless. Let this person know how you feel because by sitting idly by, you’re helping to keep this cycle going.
Have a great week everyone!!
