Tarotscopes for September 7 to September 12
Sep 7th
The long weekend here in the US has us looking at the tarotscopes this week a day behind; for this week we’ll be looking at Tuesday through Sunday with the cards. I have gone back to working with my current favorite deck, the Gaian Tarot. I also felt drawn to work with reversed cards this week so you will see those annotated with the Rx next to the cards pulled. This week is all about building, growing and creating foundations for the future. It’s going to be a week to start making change and progress, or at the very least, creating the important ground work for change or various kinds in the near future. We always look to the fall season, which is rapidly approaching, as the time of harvest, and rightly so. But we sometimes forget that in the harvest there also comes a time for growth; growth from our experiences that brought us to the harvest and the growth to come as we prepare to clear things away for another planting season in the future. This week be sure to take time to honor your growth and foundation for other big changes you’d like to see in the future.
Tarotscopes for Tuesday September 7, 2010 through Sunday, September 12, 2010
Aries The Canoe
This week you’ll find that, whether you want to or not, it’s time to get moving on some project or plan that has been sitting somewhat stagnate for a while. Make no mistake about it, you have your work cut out for you, but you’ll find there will be others willing to help you, especially if you are willing to put out the vibe that you would like some assistance. Don’t rush through but instead take the time to get a look at the bigger picture in the process and know that moves you make this week will be ones that shall have a big impact on where you’ll see your work go next.
Taurus Seven of Earth (Rx)
Delays may be possible this week as you try and get new plans or projects to take root. These delays could very well be of your own doing because of some impatience and a desire to hurry things along to their later stages before they are truly ready. This week you’ll want to take time to slow down, letting yourself be patient with everything, especially with yourself. Giving yourself and others around you a little breathing room and letting things flow in a more organic sense will bring you better results down the road where as rushing things will easily stunt the growth of your hard labor.
Gemini Six of Fire (Rx)
During the week you may find that the best use of your energy is to keep it in a low and contained state. Whether it’s been a wild three day weekend behind you now or the fact that Mercury Retrograde is coming to its end and you had a tough time with it this time, you’re certainly burning out and probably feeling it in more ways than one. Rather than push yourself this week, work to rekindle your inner fire by surrounding yourself with people who refresh and replenish you rather than those that you find draining. Give yourself time to relax and recharge this week.
Cancer Six of Earth (Rx)
Every now and then we may find that we are in a position where, financially, we just can’t be as generous or giving as we might like to be. And then there are times where the lack of generosity goes from necessity to habit. Do you have resources that you have been keeping all to yourself and not sharing with others when you easily could with comfort? This week look and see what you have in abundance that you could share with your local community. It doesn’t have to be cash but maybe extra canned or boxed food in the kitchen that could be donated to a food drive or clothes you no longer wear that a homeless shelter could use. Take a moment to find what you have that you no longer need and share it with those who could use a helping hand.
Leo Ten of Air
Letting go of emotions, ideas, and plans that have either been weighing you down or keeping you from moving forward will finally be at a point where they can be released and positive change will begin to make its way into your life. No matter how dark or difficult things may have been in the past you’ll now finally feel the clouds part and see a path forward. This week you may at last start to feel that sense of relief and peace that you’ve been looking for by easily being able to let go of something that was so hard to release previously.
Virgo Five of Fire
This week you may find yourself a little challenged to keep tempers and frustration in check. Remember that quite often fear can be misdirected as anger towards the person or situation causing us stress. Be sure that, before you potentially explode in anger or rage, that you check your emotions and see who or what it is that you are really angry at. In may just be that something has you nervous, scared, or caught off guard. You may find that the problem is a long time fear or concern that you just haven’t fully addressed. Let the people and situations that raise these emotions this week serve as mirrors to reflect your true feelings for you, and do your best to stay calm and in control.
Libra The Moon (Rx)
A concern or worry that has been nagging at you over the last few weeks may finally become too much to deal with and you may find your mind assuming the worse for lack of evidence to the contrary. You may find yourself especially suspicious of others this week, feeling they are keeping something from you. If you feel really off this week with these things know that often what seems scary and fearful in the twisted shadows of night become harmless in the light of day. You may find yourself in too dark of a place to see that light so ask a trusted friend or family member to help sort things out with you in hopes of an outside opinion being all you need to see things more clearly.
Scorpio Child of Fire
There are some great opportunities for fun and laughter coming your way this week, especially if you’re willing to break out of your shell and your routine a little more than normal and really try something new. The Child of Fire is willing to get out there and take a risk to try something different and discover more about themselves and the world around them. This week take a chance and do something you never do on a normal week. Go rock climbing, go to a karaoke bar and belt out a Whitney Houston song no matter how bad you think you sound. Do something daring and keep in my the old saying “Dance as if no one were watching; Sing as if no one were listening; And live each day as if it were your last.”
Sagittarius Three of Earth
Working hard at things that really matter and taking pride in the results will be an underlying theme for you this week whether that means taking on a special task at work or making things seem extra nice at home this week. You’ll find that things will not only work out smoother but also have better final results by working with others who are also looking to see the same goals meet a positive end. A group effort may bring out more ideas and future opportunities as well, especially if you find yourself able to work with close friends. Be sure to keep thing light while working and take time to toast to a job well done at the end of the day.
Capricorn Four of Earth (Rx)
Have you ever stopped and wondered what the difference is between collecting something and hoarding something? Sometimes there can be a real fine line between the two and this week will be a good time to try and see where you may fall in the frame of things here. When we hoard we have the mentality of either willingly wanting something all to ourselves or we may feel that we’ll never have enough of something to sustain ourselves for a period of time. What might you be hoarding in your life? Take time this week to begin that too often over-looked idea of fall cleaning and get a jump on clearing things in your home that you truly don’t need. Donate or sell what is taking up space in your life and make some breathing room for yourself for the coming fall season.
Aquarius Three of Air (Rx)
It’s not uncommon to find that from time to time we get caught in a web of negative thought or even a state of depression. Sometimes we know exactly what triggers this and that makes it easy to find a way to change things around when we are ready and able. But we do go through bouts of having no clue why we just have the glass half empty days. If you find this week that you can’t break free of some negative thinking start keeping a gratitude journal to help you remember what you have to be grateful for and to open doorways to binging in more positivity and abundance into your life. All that you write about serves as positive thoughts and as you send them into the Universe you will begin the process of reprogramming that negative thinking and soon you’ll see things in a whole new light.
Pisces Seven of Water
Making decisions this week may seem quite difficult and complicated especially if more and more options are being presented to you. It’s important to make sure that this week, especially in this winding down of Mercury Retrograde, that you take the time to do your homework before making any final decisions. Once you do make a decision fully embrace it and take it on with gusto. At that point there’s no sense in holding back and changes are you’ll have made the best, most informed choice possible that will lead you to where you need to go.
Have a great week everyone!
Tarotscopes for August 30 to September 5
Aug 30th
This week I thought I would take a sort of “back to basics” approach with doing the tarotscopes and I found myself pulling out the Universal Waite Tarot Deck
Tarotscopes for Monday August 30, 2010 through Sunday, September 5, 2010
Aries Ace of Cups
After a somewhat emotional and draining few weeks you may find that this week, for the first time in a while, you’re feeling as though your proverbial loving cup of emotions is so full that it’s running over. Be open to possibility of using this week and this feeling of emotional fullness and balance to repair and smooth over any problems that developed over the past few weeks with friends and loved ones and know that you’ll always have “up” times like these after you’ve been down. Don’t dwell on the things that are in the past now and just move forward with a loving and grateful heart.
Taurus Page of Cups
Help may come from an unlikely source this week, especially when you’re not looking for it. The seas may seem a little rocky this week but someone who may be younger and more of a quiet “in the background” type comes to your aid with support and love when they see you’re struggling. Your challenge will be accepting that support without questioning their motives or their ability to truly help you without you being condescending to them because of their age or perceived lack of experience in life. This person will surprise you in more ways than one!
Gemini The Emperor
You’ve come to a point now in your path where it’s time to start looking at other ways to handle situations that may challenge you from a less “head first” perspective. Rather than going into everything with brute force intending to overpower others you’re dealing with, it’s time to consider more logical, planned, thought out action. This week, rather than dealing with things with a solider mentality, running in to do battle, do things from the place of an emperor as someone who knows how to do battle and who’s been through the war before but who’s gained the wisdom and knowledge to deal with their opponents from a more peaceful angle. Take the higher road this week in arguements and struggles with friends and coworkers and you’ll feel better about things in the end.
Cancer The Empress
This week is a great week to take a moment to sit back and enjoy to things in your life that bring you true happiness, especially family and friends. It takes a lot of work to keep families and groups of friends together and happy and you have a natural ability to nurture these relationships in your life. Not everyone in your life might need this sort of tending to and you may not always feel driven to be the one that holds things together, but when you are in the mindset of wanting to care for those around you in a “motherly” way you give it all you’re got. So it’s about time you sit back and just enjoy these relationships and all they give to you in return. And if this week you have kids going back to school, feel proud seeing them off and know you’ve done the best you can to prepare them for this next page in their lives.
Leo King of Wands
Fire and passions will ignite this week, especially in the creative mind, but you’ll need to be willing to actually put in the time and effort to making them provide something tangible. Sometimes it can be so easy for us to just sit back and come up with some great ideas for things that we would like to do or wonderful plans for the next great invention that the world needs, but if we don’t actually get up and do something about it the idea itself is useless to us. Make sure that if you find yourself coming up with some great idea that you just can’t seem to push aside this week that you do something with it and make something happen rather than sit on it letting it go nowhere. Let your natural, bold and fiery Leo nature give you that push to do what you need to do.
Virgo Five of Pentacles
There’s a reason that the poor often stay poor and the rich get richer and it comes from their mental projection of their circumstance. This week try and keep in mind the basic ideas that often come into place with the Law of Attraction; you get back what you put out there, especially in the way of thoughts. If you think yourself poor, you make yourself poor. If you think you never have enough to be happy or comfortable, then you’ll find that no matter what you never feel like you have what you truly need to be happy. You can easily begin to turn your luck and fortune around by letting your mind put the right vibes out there and then the Universe with follow through with what you think into existence. It’s not an easy transition to make, but it’s one that you will find, once you get into the habit of doing, you will begin to see and feel the results of.
Libra The World
Things that you have been working away at are finally going to start to come to fruition and to an end that will give you a little bit of a reprieve, at least long enough to catch your breath before the next big thing comes along to occupy your mind and time. There may be a few small glitches in the process of this during the week, especially if getting paid for something you’ve been doing is part of the closure part of things this week (be prepared for a possible delay there). Even with any delays you’ll find that your efforts will be rewarded well and that you will really feel like you’ve done some great work to be proud of.
Scorpio Strength
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself having to be the one that does the most work and take on the most struggles this week both at the workplace and at home. If you’re dealing with kids going back to school this week you can be sure that they will be anything but helpful around the home; at work you may find that everyone is a bit distracted and they turn to you for a little extra help and support. You’ll do fine with all of this but you may begin to feel that by the end of the week you need someone to come in and help you stay upright because you’ve stretched yourself so thin. Being strong also means knowing your limits so if you have to say no to someone, don’t feel guilty. Just know that you’d be of no use to them anyway if you pass out from exhaustion.
Sagittarius King of Swords
You have the power to really do a lot of good this week with really well placed words and thoughts, especially if you find yourself in a position where you have to be the one to moderate a problem in the workplace or be the one to keep things from exploding in a heated situation with friends. This week you’re power of calm control and rightly placed words will be key to preventing a possibly explosive situation from being set off. It’s important to remember that having your feet firmly planted on the ground and keeping your head out of the clouds this week will keep you able to see things from a clear perspective and that will help you to really see just when you may be needed to help out those around you this week. You’ll find that being fair and logical will be the best approach but don’t allow yourself to be too cold or too calculated. Listen to your emotions as well and let your intuition guide you a bit as well, but know that in the end it’s your ability to really sort things out and put everyone in order that will be at work here.
Capricorn Page of Swords
This week you might find yourself feeling a bit frustrated with those around you, especially in situations where you are doing what you believe to be is your best at asserting yourself and trying to get your points across in a kind and congenial way. The problem is it’s possible many people really don’t take you seriously, especially in the given situation you may find yourself in, because in the past you may have done a good job at distancing yourself from similar things or seeming as though you don’t care about the outcome. So, for example, if this is the week you decide to step up at work and take charge of a department meeting when every other week you’ve shown up late and spend the whole meeting with your nose buried in your phone sending emails and text messages, don’t be surprised that nobody really jumps up to listen to what you may be trying to say. Let this be a sign for you for the future and begin to show your interest and emotions instead of always trying to be the impartial observer.
Aquarius Queen of Cups
Over the course of this week it might be helpful for you to spend time reflecting on your emotions and how your emotions impact you on a deeper level, especially when it comes to your health. Our emotions can really have a big role in whether or not we recover quickly from an illness or injury. We also know that we can easily fall into illness when we let negative emotions and stress rule our lives. If you find yourself feeling extra tired this week, run down and like you’re starting to feel sick, take a little time to think about how you’re doing emotionally and pay attention to any cues you may get from that. It’s possible that a stressful situation at work or in a relationship is just draining too much energy from you and by clearing away any negativity tied to that and turning your emotions around into a positive direction could bring you to a healthier you as well.
Pisces Two of Cups
Sometimes we can give and give and give to someone really close to us and it seems that they are never quite satisfied and they still come looking for more. This can be in the sense of help in the physical world, like the friend who’s always asking to borrow money or who seems to only ever ask for you a ride, or it can be in the way of emotions because somehow you’re the only one who could possibly ever understand this person and their problems. Giving and caring for those around us is an important part of life but you need to remember that the give and take of a relationship should go both ways, not one person always giving and the other always selfishly taking. This week you may find yourself in a position of having to reevaluate a close friendship because of these very issues. You may find that putting a little distance between you both for a time will help but you may end up needing to end the relationship altogether. Don’t feel bad and know that you need to care for yourself too! Your life can’t always be about the needy people around you.
Have a great week everyone!
Tarotscopes for August 23 to August 29
Aug 23rd
Happy last full week of August everyone! Can you believe it!?! When I was getting down the dates for this week’s tarotscopes I was in absolute shock to see that August has just about completely passed us by! And to think it’s been a whole month since I was in New Orleans! It feels like just yesterday. So the month is flying by, Mabon is quickly approaching here in the Northern Hemisphere and we’re in the beginnings of a Mercury Retrograde that started this past Friday. All I can say is many of these things show up in this week’s tarotscopes. I also decided to do something a little different this week. I’m working with a deck that I haven’t worked with for the tarotscopes yet, Norbert Lösche’s Cosmic Tarot (the image to the left is the High Priestess card from this deck). I decided while getting them out that this week I would work with traditional reversed cards. Usually I don’t work with reversed cards and instead, if a card comes out reversed, I take that into consideration when reading it but I don’t automatically assign anything specific to it, like a specific upright verse reversed meaning. But for today I have and they have been noted by the Rx next to the card name.
Tarotscopes for Monday August 23, 2010 through Sunday, August 29, 2010
Aries Two of Swords
This week you’re mission is to pick your battles. At least, if you want to get anything done, you’re going to need to make some choices. You can easily sit and be distracted by other things this week and you’ll find that it will be simple for you to get pulled into doing something other than what’s on your already overcrowded “to do” list. However, if you take the time to decide what needs to get done and prioritize what you have to do there will be a better chance of you getting something productive done.
Taurus Queen of Swords
You mind yourself thinking back fondly on the past, especially past relationships, looking for ways to bring some of the passion and joy of the past into your life now to spice things up a bit. The Queen of Swords can often come to us to remind us that we might be getting a bit too serious, maybe a little sterile and boring, especially when it comes to love. In many of the stories of the tarot this Queen is the lonely divorcee or widow, so seeing her can be a reminder that if we make a few changes we wont end up in the same state as her. Take time this week to make room for love and fun, even if you have to move mountains to do it.
Gemini Nine of Swords, Rx
If the last few weeks have had you feeling a bit stressed and feeling like things were never going to slow down so you could take a break, this week should provide a bit of that room that you have been in need of. A time of anxiety and non-stop motion is coming to a slow end and you’ll begin to feel this as the week moves on. This is especially good for you with the current Mercury Retrograde going on since the last thing you’ll be looking for this week is to add more stuff to your plate during a time knowing for complications to pop up. Take this time and use it to rest and get your head on straight again and don’t fight the urge to take a name or veg in front of the TV. You’ve earned it.
Cancer Three of Wands, Rx
You may find yourself feeling somewhat stuck or blocked, both creatively and spiritually this week, and you may find that you point this feeling inward blaming yourself for this lack of flow. Don’t fall into this trap and instead, consider that there could be others around you either holding you back or projecting their own lack of balance and creativity onto you. Is there someone around you that might get a little jealous at things you create, whether it’s a beautiful piece of artwork or a really nice Sunday dinner? Do you have family over and find that, no matter how hard you try to make things perfect, you have that one person that is always looking for something to criticize and ruin your day? These people are the ones that you need to distance yourself from for the time being, this week especially, so that you can refocus and find your flow once again.
Leo Ace of Wands, Rx
Your creative work, ideas, and projects are at a point where you’re still working to grow and develop them, but you may be in a bit of a hurry to get them out there into the public realm, looking to share your work with the world. Whether this is something that you’re doing on the side, like a creative writing project, crafting a line of jewelry or something else that you’ll be marketing to the world, or if it’s something related to work like a project proposal, be sure that you’re excitement for what you have to offer others isn’t pushing you to work too fast. You may find that what you think is perfect and ready to be out on the market is actually still in it’s infancy and needs some work. Better to take your time and perfect your work than rush and find yourself having to redo things later.
Virgo Five of Wands
This week you may find yourself a bit on edge around certain people in your life, especially those that you may work with in some capacity whether it’s at your job or on some sort of volunteer committee or in some other group. Certain people may push you in a way that often causes you to feel that you have to compete for attention or compete for praise; this could also be someone that makes you feel that you just have to compete to be heard! If you find yourself challenged by a few people in this way, remember that you need to keep your cool otherwise, when you are heard, you may say something that isn’t going to do you any good. Rather that let this person or persons get you agitated, use this sense of competition as a way to push yourself to do more and do better, but do it with grace.
Libra Judgement, Rx
This could prove to be a bit of a sticky week for you, one where things from the past could come to sort of “haunt” you. If you find that this week you feel as though past decisions are coming back to effect you now, whether ones that might not have been made with the best intentions or ones that may have been made when you weren’t thinking clearly, don’t beat yourself up over them and don’t feel that you have created a terrible hole for yourself. Instead, focus on how you can bring things back into balance. What karmaic issues may be connected to your past decisions and how are they impacting things now? Can you find a way to easily work with them and make amends? Even if this means using the old “write a letter but don’t send it, burn it” trick in order to set things right with someone from your past that you have no contact with currently, you are still putting the energy out there and creating some balance. Just remember that nothing is ever completely set in stone and your path can always be changed.
Scorpio Eight of Wands, Rx
You know how some people find that Mercury Retrograde impact them in such a way that they almost go into hiding during the whole 28 days of the cycle while everyone else wonders what the heck they’re doing? This week you may find that you learn a little bit about why some people react that way. This is going to be a week of delays, missed opportunities, and unfortunate mishaps. This is not going to be the week for planning anything big and definitely not a good time to plan to sign any contracts, make any major purchases or do anything really big that could be considered “life changing”. This will be a great week for looking into these sorts of things more, though. If you are planning on buying a new car, for example, rather than running down to the dealership and making the purchase this week, do a little more research into the car you’re looking at and maybe do a little shopping around for a better price. If you’re thinking of looking for a new job, this week would be a better time to double check that your resume and references are tip-top rather than pounding the pavement. Take it easy and try to just go with the flow as much as possible.
Sagittarius Two of Cups
One of the most important things that we have in our lives besides our family are our friends. Whether you have 100 good friends or 3 really close ones, it doesn’t matter. They are important and special people in our lives that deserve to know we love and care for them in a very special way. This week, take time to honor and appreciate your friends in a way that you maybe haven’t recently. We all have busy lives and things can get away from us, but it’s always important to keep our friends close to us as best we can. Give a close friend a call this week and make plans for a night out for dinner and conversation; make plans to reconnect in some way that will be meaningful for both of you that will help you to remember just how special this relationship is for you both. Close friendships, especially ones with best friends, are like marriages in a sense; this person is someone we are committed to and who we stick with for better or for worse. Like marriages, they need to be kept fresh and alive.
Capricorn Queen of Wands
The Queen of Wands can be a very enchanting woman, a Queen among queens who really stands out and shines above all else. This week the Queen of Wands reminds you that you too can shine and be the sparkle in someone’s life if you really wish to be. The Queen of Wands and her creative energy and her ability to keep people captivated is something that we can all use from time to time. Is there something coming up this week where you’ll need to be the center of attention? Is there someone that could use a little cheering up this week through your shining personality? You may find this week that you are the one that has to be “on” and has to pull from their creative minds to uplift and entertain those around them. You can do this because we all have the power to wield her wand if we’re willing to put ourselves out there and take the risk.
Aquarius Eight of Pentacles
Over the course of this week you may find that you’re both thirsting for knowledge and looking to show the world what you have learning so far. Knowledge and education, whether for personal enrichment, career advancement, or traditional school learning, are all important aspects of our lives. When we stop learning we stop growing. But, at the same time, it doesn’t do us any good to gather information and never put it to use or share it with others. This week take the time to find ways to share your skills and knowledge with others while adding to this storehouse of wisdom. Learning more about yourself and your area of expertise though teaching someone else. So whether it’s teaching your teenage kids how to change their own tire, showing a friend how to bake that awesome cake they’re always asking you to make for get togethers, or sharing professional knowledge at work, you will learn more about yourself through this process and you’ll probably find yourself pulling even more bits of wisdom from places to help answer questions and thus, learning more!
Pisces The Tower, Rx
You may find yourself on a bit of unsteady ground this week, especially when it comes to work or areas where authority are involved. Things could always be worse, and that’s one thing that you can do well to keep in mind, but it would also benefit you to do all that you can to keep things calm on your end of things by staying cool and focused. Any disruptions this week are likely going to be ones that you have had some sort of idea were coming up, whether through actual first hand knowledge or just having that feeling. None of these disturbances should come as a big shock. Don’t make any big plans this week and don’t do anything to try and change existing plans that have been set for a while. Just go with the flow.
Have a great week everyone!
Tarotscopes for August 16 to August 22
Aug 16th
For this weeks tarotscopes I’m working with the very interesting and unique Twilight Realm Faery tarot. These card work with some interesting images and symbolisms that hearken to the RWS tarot but with a very strong twist. The cards this week all lend to a feeling of people dealing with issues of balance and possibly working through feeling of confusion and things just being a little “off”. This isn’t too unusual since we are about to hit a Mercury retrograde this Friday the 20th that will last until September the 12th. Be sure to use the early part of the week to take care of any business dealings, wrapping up projects, and anything that might require any signing of papers or working out contractual agreements. Remember that everyone is going to get a bit edgy by the end of the week to be patient with them as well as yourself.
The Magician from the Twilight Realm tarot.
Tarotscopes for Monday August 16, 2010 through Sunday, August 22, 2010
Aries Three of Wands
Goals and projects that you have been working on will start to move a little bit faster this week by accepting the help of others around you. You have be trying to do too much on your own and this could be part of what is causing delays or feelings that you’re not getting to where you want to be right now. Working with others helps to ease some of your tensions this week and brings along some much needed connection time with others who have been trying to get your attention but you may have been too busy too notice. Accept the help and use the extra time this may give you for nurturing yourself a bit and doing something you really want to do for yourself rather than just something you feel you have to do.
Taurus Ace of Wands
Are you ready for a week of getting things done? If you truly are willing to get up and get things done the energy surrounding this week will be able to really help you reach your goals and push you through seeing some real progress. Keeping in mind that Mercury goes retrograde on Friday, use the early part of the week to define your goals, especially around personal projects or things that you’d like to do for yourself, and make progress. Grab that magick wand in front of you, focus your intentions and direct that power toward your goals and go for it!
Gemini Ace of Rings
A number of new possibilities are coming your way and this week could be the beginning of some new financial changes. This will be a good week to sit down and take a look at your personal finances and see where some change could possibly be made. Things that before might not have made sense or might not have been possible will start to be clear now and changes for bringing in a little extra income may start to pop up as well. Look for opportunities to use your magickal talents to fill any of those gaps in the bills that might show up.
Cancer King of Swords
This week you may find that there are reasons for you to step up and take the leader role with those around you. A desire to see things get done in an organized fashion will have you ready to take up the sword and rule things your way this week. Keeping balanced in your desire to help everyone else around you while filling a much needed “take charge” role, especially in the work place, will have you busy this week. But it will end with all good things and by the time the end of the week comes around you’ll be feeling like this have really gotten done.
Leo 2 of Rings
You’ve been working hard, juggling two things, maybe even more, all at once and trying to do far too much at once. This is OK sometimes but over time this can it can lead to confusion and not knowing which way is up. With the Mercury retrograde coming up at the end of the week it’s important to make sure that you have things as balanced as possible with your juggling act before the week is out. Make sure that this week you take a little time to look at the things you’re juggling and see what needs to be prioritized and then take things one at a time once Friday comes and as we move through this retrograde.
Virgo 7 of Rings
We all know that hard work over time yields better results in the long term than trying to make money in a “get rich quick” sort of way. We can chase all the rainbows we want looking for that mystical pot of gold losing time looking for nothing while we could be using that time to work on making real progress towards our financial goals with hard work. This week will be a good time to take a look at where you’re progress is with regards to financial progress to see where you’re at now and see how much further you have to go to get to your goals. It’s important to remember that patience is part of the hard work, but you’re on the right path so keep working!
Libra Ace of Swords
Challenges may be abound this week and it’s possible that things will be a bit of a challenge for you with the upcoming Mercury retrograde, but remember that being balanced in everything that you do can help make challenges a bit easier to work through. The sword can be used for good or ill depending on the why it’s used and the motivation within the person that holds it. Keep this in mind this week as you are faced with challenges, especially in the case of personal relationships with friends and family, and remember to use your words carefully and pick your battles wisely.
Scorpio 5 of Rings
The feeling of being frozen out by those around you, especially if you’re looking for support or help, may be a key element to your week this week. It’s important to keep in mind that there’s always power in our perceptions of things as well. What we might be seeing and feeling might not be what is truly going on around us. Instead of letting your thoughts mount and become more than they really are, letting your mind run wild, try and really see what it is that is really going on around you while also being sure to look to others to try and keep you balanced, focused, and in the here and now. Also be sure to get your rest this week and keep yourself healthy; you could find yourself easily falling ill this week.
Sagittarius The Chariot
A lot of progress will be made this week, especially in the area of work and financial obligations, but you need to keep yourself motivated and ready and willing to work and do what needs to be done. There is an element of balance necessary in all of this during the week, especially with regards to dealing with your emotions and how you approach things. By keeping yourself focused and staying on track this could be a week where you finally see some progress and possibly see some of your goals met. Just keep cool and keep on course.
Capricorn 9 of Wands
You may find that this week your defenses are particularly on guard and you may being to feel a bit suspicious of people you have been working with on projects either at work or on a personal level. You’ll find that being prepared to possibly have to deal with the unexpected this week will keep you from possibly having some real problematic road bumps in your path. Just be careful that your preparedness doesn’t turn into stubbornness with those around you this week.
Aquarius 10 of Swords
If you’ve been dealing with some difficult problems and situations, especially with specific people in your life, over the last few weeks you’ll find that this week will bring a few moments of hope to possibly see things more clearly through. Things may be difficult but you’ll have a chance to start to make some progress towards seeing how to work things out thanks to a bit of a reprieve in things. If the problem is strain in the family you’ll find that by laying down your sword, taking a moment to see yourself in someone else’s shoes, you’ll be able to get through everything a bit easier.
Pisces Prince of Swords
This week you’ll want to be careful with how you approach those that may try and challenge you this week. You might find that your natural reaction is to fly off the handle, so to speak, with the way you’re approached, but it’s important to remember that giving people more fuel to add to their fire can only fall on you when things explode later. Make sure that you get any of your important conversations or potentially confrontational issues out of the way in the early part of the week before the Mercury retrograde to help quell any of these possible problems later on.
Have a great week everyone!
Tarotscopes for August 9 to August 15
Aug 9th
The Wheel of Fortune from the Otherworld Tarot
Tarotscopes for Monday August 9, 2010 through Sunday, August 15, 2010
Aries Three of Swords
This week is going to be one where you may feel, come the end of the week, you wish you’d just stayed in bed and called in dead. Since this isn’t an option in the real world, being on your toes and allowing yourself a little extra time and space with those around you may prove to keep things from being too out of control as the week plays out. Be on the look out for how you perceive things as well. You have a tendency to take things to heart in a way that they aren’t always intended and this can sometimes make situations seem worse than they truly are. While it’s quite possible that you will find yourself dealing with some people looking to intentionally cause you trouble this week, don’t make it worse by letting your mind run wild either. Instead, take it one day at a time this week and don’t overfill your schedule so that you can give yourself some downtime in the evenings to recover from the days events.
Taurus Four of Swords
You’ll find that you and your Aries cousins are going to be on somewhat similar tracts this week as you move along doing what you do. While your Aries brethren may be dealing with trying to keep their calm, you’ll find that you’re not only ready to take a bit of a break from things but the world around you is ready to give you a bit of a break. You’ll find this week that things are naturally giving you a little more breathing room or you may find that you have more opportunities opening up for some downtime. Take it and don’t try and push yourself too far. You’re in need of a good rest from everything that’s been going on lately, especially at home. Take a little time this week to lay down your proverbial sword and just take a break; everything will be there next week, ready and waiting for your renewed sense of self upon your return.
Gemini Five of Swords
The time has come to start to make some reevaluation of your position in some situation you have found yourself in. Whether it’s at work or at home, something that you have been working for just isn’t panning out. Has someone stolen your thunder for you or have you just let things get to the point where you’ve missed your opportunity to really run with things and shine? Either way, regardless of how you got to where you are now, the overall sense of defeat is going to finally catch up with you this week and it may finally come to be time to look at what you’re doing and find out what exactly you need to do to start over, but start over with a different approach. If you’re working on personal creative project or a work project it may be time to find a different angle to work from and start from square one. If it’s a relationship that isn’t working out, it’s better to cut your losses and move on than cause you or anyone else any unnecessary pain by prolonging the inevitable. This isn’t going to be what you hoped for, but remember “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you might find, you get what you need.” This could be what need to get to something better.
Cancer The Hanged Man
Over the course of this week it’s possible that you’ll find yourself feeling like everything is hanging in the air and nothing wants to come down. This is going to be a week of delays, things not coming through when they’re expected, and overall waiting. Anything that you have planned for this week should be given a little back up plan “just in case”. You’ve been on a roll lately with getting things done and feeling like you’re making progress at work, at home, everywhere! This week is going to feel like a big giant set back, but it isn’t. It’s more of a speed bump telling you to slow down, give yourself a break, and let things flow how they need to for now. You have driven things as far as you can for the time being so take a breather and know you’re doing a great job.
Leo The Magician
The power to make anything happen is in your path this week, but with a few things to keep in mind. Balance is the key to everything. If you want to have things work out for you, you need to make sure that everything else involved are getting something they want as well since this is what keeps everyone else happy and, thus, off your back so you can do whatever it is that you want. It’s also important to remember that keeping clam when things are getting a bit hectic can help keep things going at a fine pace otherwise things will just spin out of control if you can’t keep a lid on them. You are the one driving the train this week and that means you’re in control of not only directing where it goes but making sure it stays on the tracks. You may find that this week you’re not only having to deal with your own business but others may start coming to you looking for you to wave a magic wand and make their troubles go away as well. Don’t get frustrated at their intruding on your work or your time, but instead be flattered that they see you as their only hope and do what you can get them to feel in control of their own work again, then they can leave you be once more.
Virgo Nine of Pentacles
Hard work is paying off and this week you’re going to finally find that the answers you’ve been looking for to give you the confidence that you’re on the right track will start to make themselves known. While you’re doing great and you’re on your way to seeing your goals finally come to pass, don’t get lazy and don’t start to let the signs of progress give you too much confidence. You still have a lot of work to do but you’re at least doing the right things and you’re heading in the right direction. This week you’ll especially start to get a sense of the wisdom and growth that you’ve had over the last handful of months and you’ll start to find that the path to get to your final goal will become more clear. Don’t slow down, instead start working on those last steps with the confidence that you’re so close to what you have worked so hard for.
Libra Queen of Wands
Passion and creativity are only good when they are put into action; if we sit around and do nothing with our great ideas they can go from wonderful dreams to haunting nightmares. This week is a week to start putting that power to work for you and start doing something with your thoughts, dreams and ideas rather than just letting them be nice happy distractions. Even if it means nothing more than doing a little redecorating of the dining room to bring to live the vision you’ve been having of what it would be like to have tea with the Queen of England in her dining room, it’s better than sitting on the couch wasting away watching another episode of “The Real Housewives of whatever city is fashionable this month”. You can be a quiet lap cat or a roaring tiger ready to pounce on its prey, it’s all up to you and how badly you want something. Now is the time to set things into motion, not sit and wait to see if it just falls at your feet.
Scorpio Two of Swords
Something is going to feel off this week and you may not be able to pinpoint exactly what it is right off but as the week goes on, if you’re willing to really see all the possibilities, things will be made clear and answers will be revealed. Sounds simple enough, right? It’s not. It’s quite possible that the root of the problems you’re dealing with could be from your own inability to see the whole of the situation for what it is. It could be that a relationship isn’t what it seems or how you make it out to be; there could be an illusion of sorts going on right in front of you that you refuse to see through because the illusion is easier to deal with than the reality. Stop and think about the fact that it takes more energy to perpetuate a lie or something that isn’t real than it does to just let the truth of something come to the surface. This week you’ll find that you have no choice but to face the reality of a situation, unless of course the imbalance and the possible stress of not facing things is OK with you. It’s all in your hands at this point.
Sagittarius Ten of Wands
If ever there was a time to take a seat and let someone else do the hard stuff, it’s this week. You’ve been working hard, pulling overtime and double duty in all areas of your life lately, and it’s time to take a break. It might be hard to say no to some people and it may also be difficult to put off some things that you have really been wanting to do, but if you don’t take a break and let yourself have a chance to refresh and renew, you’re going to find that you’ll be seeing all this extra work catch up to you mentally, emotionally and physically. Summer colds, snapping in the department store while having to deal with parents and screaming children doing back to school shopping and having a bit of a breakdown while consulting your two best friends, Ben and Jerry, are all quite possible in your future, even this week, if you don’t take it easy. Take a little time to sort of what you are obligated to get done right away and what can wait for next week or even a few weeks from now. Summer will be over before you know it so take a moment to enjoy yourself and unwind this week.
Capricorn Eight of Pentacles
There are a lot of things that you’re good at, some that you have worked really have at and others that just come naturally to you. But now you have to ask yourself, “Am I putting my skills to good use?” This week is a good time to start looking at you skills and seeing how you can not only out them to use but how you can share them with the world. Whether it’s a work related skill, something that is more of a hobby, or something that plays out at home, find out what it is and then work to make it work for you. A great example of this can be found in Julia Child’s story of how she went from a military employee who liked cooking for her husband to a world renowned chef all because she took a skill she had, developed it and shared it with others who appreciated it. What skill can you share with others to help them better themselves while also bettering yourself? Need a little inspiration? Get a bottle of wine, rent “Julie & Julia” and have a little beef bourguignon to help and then follow your inner muse.
Aquarius King of Cups
This week you may find that you are the one that everyone wants to come to for a little help. Nothing major, but just a little push, a little advice, or a little guidance. You have a lot of love to give those around you but you don’t always give it freely and sometimes people have to come and flat out ask for your love, your attention, your appreciation. This week that’s what you’ll see happening so use this as a sign that you may need to start being a little more open with those who you love and trust. Keeping yourself under wraps with some people is only natural, but for the long time and long trusted friends and family in your life, they shouldn’t have to come to you asking for love, it should be given freely. Take the time to share your overflowing cup of love with those around you this week and you’ll find that when the tables are turned that love will come back to you in spades.
Pisces The Fool
There’s something you’ve been wanting to do that you have been giving far more mental energy to than you should when you really ought to be working to make this dream become a reality. This week is going to be about taking a leap of faith and following your dreams and doing it without too much worry or fear or what will happen if it doesn’t turn our perfect. Nothing is ever perfect the first time around! But if you spend all your time sitting inside and daydreaming while staring out the window you aren’t going to gain anything. Take that leap of faith, know that you’re going to run the risk of getting a horrible sunburn trying to climb a giant mountain in the August sun, but know that when you reach the top of that mountain you will have overcome a great hurdle, that of laziness and fear! Now anything will be possible. Get out there this week and take the first steps in making something you really, truly want to do finally happen and don’t worry about what happens along the way. It’s all part of the experience and the journey.
Have a great week everyone!
Tarotscopes for August 2 to August 8
Aug 1st
This week we’re back to our Tarotscopes after a little vacation break and we’re back to having the weekly forecasts provided by the Gaian Tarot deck. This week there seems to be a number of issues for people with regards to balance and taking time to find and honor our power, our true paths and our hearts desire.
Tarotscopes for Monday August 2, 2010 through Sunday, August 8, 2010
Aries Five of Earth
You may be feeling like you’re trapped right now; stuck in a situation that you can’t find any way out of or that seems bigger than you. If it’s not you who is dealing with this difficulty you may find that seeing others around you in difficult relationships or financial situations doesn’t elicit the empathy that it may have in the past. Instead you may find yourself wondering what it is that these individuals have done to bring on these hardships themselves; if it’s you who’s in trouble you may be feeling like you’re stuck in the role of the victim. This week may be a tough time to try and focus on any major projects or transitions but instead it may be a good time to just sit with the things that may be playing on your mind and give yourself some time to let them work themselves out naturally before taking on anything else.
Taurus Explorer of Air
High up in the trees the Explorer of Air looks for the best vantage point to see where to go next. This is where you might find your energy and focus best directed this week. If you’re trying to find answers to what to do next or how to handle a specific situation that you’re hitting some road bumps with, you may find that you’re answers are found by changing your perspective. Nothing is ever what it seems and when we give ourselves permission to looking at things differently we can usually find that the answers we were after were right in front of us all along. There can be a risk in doing this, naturally, since climbing those proverbial trees can be tricky, but in the end it’s always worth it.
Gemini Four of Air
Over the course of this week you may find that creating and maintaining your boundaries, especially in the workplace, will be important and helpful to keeping you from having any unnecessary and unwanted confrontations. This will help with not only reducing your personal stress level but it will also help you with protecting your work, your ideas and your projects. Create a boundary this week that says “my work and ideas are my own” while also giving yourself permission to move away from those around you and have time to yourself to nurture and develop those ideas and projects as well as giving yourself a break from the hustle and bustle of work and life. Nurture yourself this week and you’ll find everything comes and goes with ease.
Cancer Seven of Water
Choices and decisions can particularly difficult this week, especially if you find that there are a lot of options and possibilities around you. The important thing to keep in mind when making your decisions is that you need to be true to yourself. As you find yourself faced with decisions and you work to narrow down your choices ask yourself of each option if this is what fills your heart and feeds your spirit. This is how you will know that you have found the right choice for you. When you find yourself making your decisions and making your path, drink deeply from the chalice your hold and enjoy this new adventure.
Leo Ace of Water
Following your heart and seeking what you really desire is something that you are being called to do but you may find that you feel a little stuck or confused with where to go and how to reach out and grab the proverbial “Holy Grail”. Sometimes you have to go against the usual flow of things in order to get to where you’re going because what you’ve been doing just hasn’t been working. There is courage that you need to have to go after what you really want and this week you will find yourself at that breaking point where you’re ready to muster that courage and go for it. Take a little time this week to define what you want and start making a new path to it knowing that you have the support and love of the Goddess and the Universe along the way.
Virgo Awakening
As the summer has been rolling on you may have been feeling like it’s time for some change, like something is calling you to wake up and take notice. The Universe is calling you. Spirit is trying to get your attention. The Gods want you to look to them for answers and guidance. This week is a great time to start revitalizing your spiritual practice, especially if you’re working with a meditation practice. This week set aside serious meditation time, working with different guided meditations for specific purposes or to commune with specific Gods and spirit allies, and seek out what it is that can help to bring some balance, peace and renewal into your life. It’s time to bring in some new spiritual awareness to your daily life and let it help liberate you.
Libra Elder of Air
This week you may find that your abilities to bring peace and calm to a situation is called on more than once. You have a natural ability to help people come together and work through their difficulties. One of the best ways that you can do this over the course of the week is to lead by example. If you find yourself involved in a difficult situation with others, let yourself be the one that sets the example. Rather than arguing be the one that brings peace. Make the effort if you have to over the course of the week to go that extra mile to keep yourself balanced and keep peace between yourself and those around you.
Scorpio Eight of Water
Are you doing what you love? Are you living the life that you feel you’re supposed to live? Are you being true to yourself? This week you may find yourself faced with situations and thoughts that will bring this very thing up. It’s always a little scary to move away from one way of live into another and to make changes to our lives, especially if we’re moving into a territory that we know nothing about. But this is the time to take action. What is it that you aren’t doing that you’d like to do? What are you doing now that isn’t leading you to living as your authentic self? Find what it is that you’re doing, or not doing, and change that. Take action and make some changes and move forward toward what you really want knowing that what you leave behind is no longer serving your highest good.
Sagittarius Child of Earth
With summer coming to it’s height, ask yourself if you’ve taken enough time to really enjoy the summer season outside in nature. Have you taken a sunset walk on a warm night or gone and spent some time letting the cool waters of the ocean, lake or river wash away the sticky summer air from your body? Have you rolled in the grass or watched the clouds float overhead? If you haven’t, make time this week to do something outside every day, even if it’s only for 15 minutes each day during a work break or before turning in for the night. Nature, and our personal relationship with it, helps to bring us peace and balance and helps to cleanse us. Taking advantage of what the earth has to offer by spending time in nature and adjusting our diets to be more natural can help to bring us to a place of alignment with the Divine and our higher self.
Capricorn Three of Water
Having joy in your life is wonderful, but when you don’t have others to share it with it’s just not as sweet. Is there something you’ve been wanting to celebrate or something coming up that calls for a little celebration? Now’s the time to do it but do it with close friends that can appreciate your happiness. Come together this week with a few close friends and do something fun, something that together will not only bring you closer together but that will also give you the chance to find and share joy together. Taking time out to honor the good things and the good people in your life help to keep the flow of love and prosperity coming to you.
Aquarius Four of Fire
If you’ve been feeling like your personal power is a little low, this week you’ll be feeling things pick up, but it’s important to honor your personal power and use it. Take time this week to do some cleansing; cleanse yourself spiritually and have a small ritual to release any unwanted energy that you may have been carrying that has been weighing you down. Then take the time to acknowledge and honor your personal strength through a formal act of ritual. Perform a self-dedication or a right of passage and welcome a new flow of energy and power into your life.
Pisces Eight of Air
Working with others may be difficult this week and you might feel that you’ve either reached your burn out point or as though you just don’t have anything to contribute anymore to a group that you may be working with. You might find that dealing with others at work this week leaves you drained, especially if you’re usually in the position of leading things. Instead, this week find a way to take a supportive role so that you can sit back and recharge yourself but still lend your expertise and your abilities to those that count on you to be there to work with them.
Have a great week everyone!
Tarotscopes for July 12 to July 18
Jul 12th
Here we are! Another week and another round of interesting energies for everyone. This week there seem to be a lot of issues concerning acceptance and nurturing for almost everyone in one way or another. Lots of issues with nurturing relationships and working towards goals with active manifestation and planning. The thing to keep in mind this week is that whenever we are making change and working on relationships with others or working on moving forward with our own goals that we need to take our time and be gentle with ourselves as well as everyone else involved. This weeks readings were done using The Pictorial Key Tarot which is a nice Rider Waite Smith clone and one I’d recommend to beginners looking for a similar deck to the RWS to learn with.
Tarotscopes for Monday July 12, 2010 through Sunday, July 18, 2010
Aries 6 of Wands
Victory and a warm reception will fill your week. Projects you have been working on and goals you have been striving for will finally be reached, or at the very least so close that the finish line is clearly in sight. You may find that friends or co-workers are willing to help so that they can enjoy your victory with you. Don’t let your pride get in the way of accepting the help. And don’t forget the little people in the end.
Taurus 4 of Wands
If romance has been a problem lately, especially if there have been problems between you and a current partner, this will make for a good week for working things out. Discussions will go smoothly if you keep things focused on moving forward in a positive direction. Remember the reasons why you were together in the first place and the reasons you wanted to create some sort of life together. Renewed life and love will be easy to find.
Gemini Queen of Swords
This week you may find certain women in your life a little difficult to deal with. Mothers, female bosses, women in places of power and authority in your life may be hard to communicate with. This is certainly not the week to ask for a raise or a loan, and it’s not the week to look for help from these women. Step lightly and give them lots of love and light but just be sure to give them their space. If she decides to wield her sword you don’t want to be in the way.
Cancer Justice
Finding balance this week will be an important key to maintaining your own personal sanity. We all may find ourselves in the role of “Lady Justice” with friends and family from time to time. The balance comes in our words, our approach, our actions. This week if you find you need to bring some justice to a situation or relationship be sure to balance your words. There is a difference between firm and sincere and being downright harsh and mean. Finding your balance and coming from a place of love will help to keep your messages pure and well received.
Leo The Moon
Dreams, both at night while sleeping and the ones that steal us away during the daytime, will be one of your most valuable sources of information this week. You may find that successful situations in walking consciousness begin to be worked out easily in your dream state. Be sure to keep a journal or notepad with a pen next to the bed this week and make notes when you wake so you can keep this information handy. Remember though to give yourself time to absorb, rationalize and give full consideration to what you find in your dreams before acting on it. Consult your intuition and take everything into account. Following your inner path of knowledge will be the way to go this week.
Virgo Knight of Cups
Your “Knight in Shining Armor” could take one of many forms this week. Whether a man or woman, someone is going to come along this week to help relieve stress and concerns you have been dealing with over the past few weeks. A gift of help and support from a loved one, friend or family, will help, but don’t be surprised if some of these gifts take a physical form too. Being grateful and returning the favor when you’re clear across whatever emotional waters you need to cross this week will the cycle of gifts coming.
Libra The Magician
The power to create and manifest is strongly focused around you this week, but you will need to find ways to create the world you want without completely burning yourself out. There is no need to work harder than you should to get what you want. You have all the power and resources around you, the trick is knowing how to use them and having the ability to really tap into your manifestation power. What are you passionate about and what do you truly desire? Find that thing this week, define it, and start laying a plan to take toward reaching it.
Scorpio King of Cups
This week will be a good time to seek out the help of those older and wise around you. This will bring a challenge for you however; the ability to listen to and work with the wisdom from someone else, especially someone that you may feel is out of touch or “too old” to understand your position or problems. The Universe has an interesting way of delivering messages to us through other people in our lives. So this week keep your ears and heart open to what others around you have to say. Especially those with life experience to share. Think of it as the passing of the cup of knowledge.
Sagittarius 4 of Cups
Have you been feeling a bit like you can’t catch a break? Feeling like nobody around you wants to help you out or like someone’s got it in for you? It is entirely possible that this has been a matter of perception rather than one of reality, Help is there and people who care about you are looking to help but you’re perception and “down on my luck” sense of being may have you just not seeing what you already have and what is being offered to you. This week work to turn around any of these feelings you may have whether they’re small or large. If you find yourself having negative thought, just imagine a big red circle with a line through it canceling out the thought and replace it with something positive to bring yourself back to a place of abundance. Remember: Law Of Attraction!
Capricorn Ace of Pentacles
Every great progress starts with a single step. Great wealth can be created from the starting point of a single dime if you have the right vision, the passion and drive, and most of all, desires. If you’ve been focusing on money or trying to make arrangements to do something that will require more money than you currently have access to, take a little time to find some creative ways to take what you have and expand it. Whether it’s through investing, saving, or even taking things you have but no longer need and finding ways to turn them into cash, you’ll find this week affords some great chances to grow your money. Be careful though of “free money” opportunities that seem too good to be true. They are and the cost in the long run will never be worth the short term gain.
Aquarius Knight of Swords
Charging forth and getting things done is what is on tap for this week. With the energy from this weekend’s solar eclipse and new moon a growing sense of energy may be easily sense around you and that may be all it takes to get you in the mindset to really get things accomplished. Just be sure that your excitement doesn’t have you completely bowling over everyone in your path. The chance to use this energy to transform things that have been sitting stagnant for a while will be one that you wont want to pass up.
Pisces 2 of Cups
All relationships whether romantic ones, ones with friends, or even relationships with co-workers, they need care and attention from time to time to make sure that everything is happy and healthy. This week you might find an issue or two between you and those close to you pop up in a way that asks for your direct attention. Don’t worry, it’s nothing earth shattering; it’s just those little cords that connect us together getting a little tangled and asking for some help being released. Take a little time to nurture those relationships while gently addressing any of these issues knowing that at the heart of things are two people who care for and need each other in one regard or another.
Have a great week everyone!
Tarotscopes for June 28 to July 4
Jun 28th
Can you believe June is almost over!?! Before the week is out it’s going to be July!!! Where has the time gone? This week it looks like themes of balance and blockages finally breaking free will have most everyone ready to start soaking in that powerful sun energy and going forward full force. For this week I used the Robin Wood Tarot, one of my all time favorite “go to” decks, to do our readings.
Tarotscopes for Monday June 28, 2010 through Sunday, July 4, 2010
Aries 8 of Wands
Things this week may start off exciting, with a lot of energy and positive movement with the best of intentions, but be really aware of things that might jump in your path to create roadblocks. In the past few weeks issues of stagnation and slowed progress have been an issue and this boost of energy will be very welcomed but, at the same time, it brings with it a high chance for burn out if you don’t space out your activities. Go with the excitement and the energy but be sure to pace yourself in the process and you’ll be sure to see results.
Taurus Page of Swords
The best way to describe the energy surrounding you this week is to say it is akin to the sense of excitement like that of a teenager who is having their first experience of being away from home. There is a lot of opportunity for exploring new territory this week and you’re ready for that change and are charging ahead to see what you can get yourself into. Use that energy this week to do something you have been wanting to do but have been holding back on. The only thing that you need to keep aware of is how you use your words with those around you. If you find that other people aren’t so supportive of your adventures of this week and they vocalize it to you, remember that words can cut deep like a sword wielded without care. So be careful where you’re swinging.
Gemini Knight of Pentacles
Your often warmhearted and hero-like nature, especially with those close to you, will be called into action this week. You may find you need to come to the rescue to help a friend out of a difficult situation. The challenge in it for you is to try and hold back judgment and just be the grounded and caring force, the rock, that this person needs in the moment. For you this could be a challenge, but you will be able to give more to your friend and all those involved by holding back and just lending a healing hand and keeping your personal thoughts about them and their situation to yourself for now.
Cancer 10 of Wands
You’ve been working hard, almost to the point of carrying too much, working harder than you should be, because of a sense or feeling of obligation. The problem now is that you’re doing what you’re doing without the heart, excitement and emotion that you need to have. You have a way to go before your feeling of obligation has been fulfilled but this week take a little time to look at and evaluate all the things you’re doing, work wise and for other people, and see if any of these things can be released from your burden. Find which of these things truly fill you with joy and pleasure and find a way to bring that back into all you’re doing. Don’t break your back working harder than you should, especially when you’re doing so much for others who don’t want to do these things for themselves.
Leo The Moon
Every day we experience two very distinct energies; the masculine and the feminine. During the daytime the strong, powerful and active energies of the masculine side of things overpower us, but at night the softer, more feminine side comes out. You have been so strongly connected to the masculine/sun energy but the feminine/moon energy is calling for your attention this week. Take time at night to go outside and observe the moon, taking time to bring yourself to a quite place for a small time and allowing yourself a change to tune into the moon’s energy and your own intuition. Get plenty of sleep this week, tuning out the busy day and tuning in to your dreams and your natural, feminine and intuitive side. This will help to bring more balance and clarity to what is going on around you.
Virgo The High Priestess
Your inner wisdom will be your greatest asset this week, not only for yourself, but for those around you as well. Drawing from both experience and your inner knowing, you’ll find this week that everyone looks to you for guidance and answers. As long as you can keep your ego and personal biases in check and in the background, you’ll find yourself able to help serve and guide those around you for their highest and best. Help people around you to see clearly and see through the fog or illusions around them and their difficult situations.
Libra 7 of Wands
If you’ve been feeling like you need to be on the defensive lately it will be good for you to take some time this week to really look at why you feel that way. Is there a real issue or threat that you are concerned about or is this all in your head; possibly it’s a feeling that stems from a real situation but you’ve blown it out of proportion. Spend time this week checking in with yourself on your anxiety levels and your feelings of needed to be in that defensive space. Find the real sources of your stress and then see if your reaction is truly warranted or if your over reacting. It might be time to let your guard down.
Scorpio Judgment
It’s time to start over in an area that you have felt has either fallen apart, gone to the wayside or even where you feel you failed in the past. You may feel that you are passing judgment, almost too harshly, on yourself. This is part of the process, and while it can be a hard part of it, it’s always a necessary one. By judging yourself in the sense of where you’re at emotionally and mentally with these tasks and challenges, you’ll be able to better evaluate your best course of action for the future. You and the projects and work you truly desire to accomplish will be reborn, like a phoenix from the ashes, if you’re ready to transform.
Sagittarius 2 of Wands
Balance this week between what is going on around and what is out there in the world for you will be important. In other words, finding a way to balance what you have and what you want. You may find yourself wondering what it is that’s out there for you that you haven’t found you. This week you run the risk of getting your head a little lost in the clouds so be sure that you keep your eye on something stable. You may also find yourself feeling like you’re just sitting around waiting for things to come to you rather than getting out there and grabbing what you want. Keep your patience intact and things will work themselves out in the right time.
Capricorn The Sun
Victory and a feeling of empowerment surrounds you and dominates this week. Be careful though that your bright and shiny aura (or is it your ego?) doesn’t blind you! You have ever right to celebrate this week, even if your victory is a small one like getting up on time every day this week, but remember that there will always be more victories to celebrate down the road after more things have been accomplished. Keep your bright, victorious light together in a humble way and others will be glad to celebrate with you. Remember, nobody like a bragger.
Aquarius Justice
This week may feel like you’re in one giant holding pattern. Expect and prepare yourself for delays, especially in regards to any issues surrounding contract, working through legal matters, and any big changes at work, especially if you’re looking to negotiate a position change or a raise. Balance is going to be the best place to put your focus right now. Are you feeling out of whack or like you’re time and energy is completely concentrated in one area of your life? With this bit of stagnation this week you’ll find it to be a good time to evaluate and rebalance yourself. Take a time out, do something cleansing and healing, maybe have a Reiki session done or you, and look to bring balance back into your life so when things get moving again you’ll have the strength and energy to move ahead with gusto.
Pisces The Hanged Man
Any feelings of being stuck or feeling like you need to wait or hold on before making change will begin to break up this week and you’ll be felling free and ready to move on to where you need to go to get moving in various aspects of your life once more. The important thing to keep in mind is to not allow yourself to feel like you’re hands are still tied behind your back so to speak; you may be at a point where you’re so used to having no control that having it again is a bit staggering. Find your footing and start moving ahead with enthusiasm. You may have been sacrificing yourself for the sake of others, so now it’s time to find your purpose in your heart, set your goad, and go forward.
Have a great week everyone!! And be sure to have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend!
Tarotscopes for June 21 to June 27
Jun 21st
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!!
Tarotscopes for June 14 to June 20
Jun 14th
Sometimes the cards come with a little bit of a snarky and smarmy feel. It’s not often that I feel that snappy, somewhat “in your face” feel when I do the tarotscopes but this week seemed to have a lot of that energy. This week everyone should take things with a grain of salt and give people a bit of extra room. It’s important to remember that the way we see things isn’t always how everyone else sees them, and they may never share our personal, unique vision. The key this week is to just be true to yourself. The cards used this week were Ciro Marchetti‘s wonderful Legacy of the Divine deck, a deck that everyone should have by now and if you don’t, treat yourself when the week is out. You’ll have earned it!
Tarotscopes for Monday June 14, 2010 through Sunday, June 20, 2010
Aries Eight of Cups
Have you been wondering if something is missing lately? Like maybe something from your past that you turned down or walked away from seems to be haunting you now. Did you make the right decision? Are you in the place you are now because of what you DIDN’T do in the past? Are you feeling like things might be greener on the other side? This week don’t be surprised if you start to feel like you’re reaching out and grasping at something to fill a hole in your heart that you can’t explain. When you’re doing this be sure to think about why you’re reaching out. Why do you want to make changes and is it just time to move on to bigger and better things?
Taurus The Lovers
Oh, temptation…how it tempts us. When you’re not looking something seems to just grab your attention with a strong and unrelenting grip. But is temptation always all bad? Sometimes when we give in to temptation and we try something that we have told ourselves in the past that we needed to stay away from we learn something about ourselves that we other wise never might have discovered. If you find yourself tempted this week to do something that normally you’d not do, give it some genuine consideration. At the same time don’t compromise who you are; let this be a chance to explore who you are but not something that causes you to lose who you are.
Gemini Five of Wands
This week you may find things a little out of step with friends and family this week. You may find that just when you thought everything was fine and that all is well, something shifts. Things that you have been doing for months might suddenly bother someone and thoughts and emotions that they may have been holding back suddenly coming out, and coming out strong. Give your loved ones room to voice their thoughts and opinions and remember that they love you. Don’t let things get out of control and do your best to contain your own thoughts and feelings. Respond, don’t react.
Cancer Five of Cups
Accepting loss and moving forward can be some of the most difficult steps to take when we talk about picking up the pieces. But, the fact of the matter is, if we don’t do those things we remain in a state of depression and sadness with no end in sight. It’s easy to let that turn into a state of emotional paralysis. Don’t let disappointment from a failed relationship or a project that didn’t go as planned hold you back any longer. Brush aside the shattered pieces from those things that didn’t work out and allow yourself to see the beauty in what have rather than shedding tears over what you’ve lost.
Leo The Moon
This week you will find yourself looking at things around in a somewhat different light. You may find that this week things that have been being hidden from you start to be reveled. Secrets could start coming out of the most unlikely places and you may find yourself feeling little caught off guard. Take time this week to be gentle with yourself and those around you, especially if matters of the heart become affected by any sudden reveals. Dreams this week may be especially active and it’s quite possible that a nightmare or two could pop in. Make notes in the morning because it’s possible some of the answers to your true feelings about what’s going on around you will be found in those dreams.
Virgo The Tower
Any changes that you have been holding off on making because you didn’t want to go through the process or because you just felt like it wasn’t ever the right time are going to happen now, like it or not. Do yourself a favor and don’t to be the hero that goes down with the ship. Change happens for a reason and when we aren’t willing to make the changes ourselves the Universe has a way of forcing them on us. This week you might especially start to feel like where you’re living isn’t quite right for you, for one reason or another. Maybe it’s time to think about making a move before you find yourself forced to make one.
Libra Seven of Coins
Hard work is paying off and a little time off is going to be well deserved and on the way, but not quite yet. There is still more work to be done, but be sure that you’re not spending so much time patting yourself on the back about how well things have gone so far that you miss out on taking care of the vital last steps of your projects and work. Be proud of what you’ve done so far though! You’ve come a long way and worked hard. Let this week be a time for planning out how you’ll finish things off with a bang.
Scorpio Two of Coins
If anyone can balance things this week and keep everything moving along smoothly, it’ll be you. You’ll find yourself motivated this week to really get the ball rolling on more than one thing at once and as you start making the steps to do them, you find you’re more than capable of performing the necessary balancing act like a pro. You may find this week that your ability to keep finances at home under wraps challenged; trying to make sure the bills get paid while also being able to afford a vacation or something special will be tricky, but easily worked out. Remember to just go with the flow this week and any sudden waves will be easily overcome with grace and easy.
Sagittarius King of Coins
This week at home you will find that it’s time for you to fill the proverbial “King of the Castle” role. You might have to take care of some problems at home, get the kids in line (summer vacation is starting so you need to manage their time), work out some things on the job front, all things that demand your ability to lead and guide and get things done. But remember not to be too heavy handed. The kids are just being kids, money goes but it always comes back, and not everyone shares your strong work ethic. Be gentle and kind with those around you and you’ll get a much better reaction.
Capricorn Queen of Coins
You may find that searching within to try and find and unearth the proverbial “earth mother” mentality this week will be useful in dealing with those around you that can’t seem to help themselves. Keep in mind that, unlike you, not everyone wants to be well; some people wear their illnesses and dysfunctions like a life jacket while the Titanic is sinking. Instead of trying to save people from themselves look within and find how you can best help them to understand why they may need to make a change by being an example. Show them how you have been able to make positive changes in your own live and lead them in making changes as well without holding their hand every step of the way.
Aquarius The Star
The light at the end of the tunnel, the silver lining, the guiding light of the North Star. Whatever you want to call it, the sign of hope that you’ve been looking for in a particularly dark or dreary situation is finally going to come to you this week. The important part is going to be keeping your eyes and your heart open to hearing and seeing the signs and then following them. It’s easy to be so blinded by the darkness that when the light starts to shine in that we automatically want to close our eyes from its bright intrusion. It is definitely time for a change and there’s no reason to feel too proud to accept whatever help comes your way this week to help make those positive changes take root.
Pisces Page of Swords
This week you might find yourself presented with two very unique and opposing opportunities, especially with regards to work or creative projects. Which one to take is going to depend on which one is going to give you the best chance to really express yourself and shine creativity, especially if it means that you have the chance to truly express yourself. Set some time aside this week for personal intellectual pursuits as well. When’s the last time you read a book just for the sake of it? Keep your mind as sharp as you can and you’ll shine no matter what you’re presented with.
Have a great week everyone!!
Tarotscopes for June 7 to June 13
Jun 6th
This week our tarotscopes are once again brought to you by the Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law and Barbara Moore. This week it looks like a lot of issues of emotions and choices, as well as letting creative energy flow, come into play for many of us. We’re in the waning stage of the moon and the New Moon on Saturday gives us a chance to get things in fresh state for the coming week.
Tarotscopes for Monday June 7, 2010 through Sunday, June 13, 2010
Aries Nine of Wands
This week you might find yourself feeling a little caught off guard with projects and people around you. Normally you may be ready for anything but something this week might catch you at the wrong time, at a time when you are trying to take a little bit of a break from always being in that stance of readiness. Being prepared for anything never hurts but letting yourself become lax and asleep at the wheel can. Make sure that if you take time out from your normal routines this week that you get right back to them quickly and that you don’t let a moment of rest become a habit of laziness.
Taurus Page of Wands
Taking the first steps to making a vision become a reality can be very difficult, but making the effort and working to really get the ball rolling this week will soon have you making beautiful music and flowing with ease towards your goals. While you might find that you energy this week is at a high and you feel ready to go and make things happen, you might find yourself feeling a bit overwhelmed at the same time. Don’t hesitate to call on others to help you where you need it and let them add a bit of their vision and energy to your work. Remember, the sound of one instrument can certainly make beautiful music but the power of a whole orchestra working and playing together in harmony can be powerfully moving.
Gemini Four of Swords
This week you may find yourself in need of a break from everything. A need to step back, refocus yourself and find clarity will help you to come back to things with a more level head. Taking time for meditation when you start to feel overwhelmed will help you to come to a better place of understanding, especially with any situations this week that have you feeling like you’ve been kicked when you’re down. Dreams may also yield some really interesting insights and information this week as well. Be sure to take notes and journal your dreams since not everything may make sense right away. When you start to feel a little discouraged think of the lotus flower. The lotus is born from the muddy, murky depths of the water but when it emerges from it’s journey it is one of the most beautiful things on the surface. Give yourself time to make that journey.
Cancer Nine of Pentacles
Trust in yourself this week as you work hard to bring some plans and projects into their final stages. You’re at a point now where things that you have been working toward for months are finally going to come to completion; you’re heading into the rebirth stage and a stage of balance. But the work isn’t over yet. Keep your “eyes on the prize”, stay focused, keep your direction clear. You may find that this is the time when you really have to create something out of nothing to brings things to the point where you can feel you have reached a goal. Like the saying goes “if you want something right you have to do it yourself”, so do for yourself this week however you need to.
Leo The Devil
If you find yourself feeling trapped this week, feeling like someone is pulling your strings and keeping you from doing what you truly wish to do, take a moment to step back and look at things again. You are never completely helpless and never completely without a way to navigate your own life. Someone might be holding you captive in a sense but their tactics may be more intimidating than truly threatening. They may know that by doing simple things to make you feel threatened that they have you wrapped around their finger. Don’t let yourself feel trapped or victimized. Look up from your own despair and confusion and find a way to take back your power.
Virgo Death
Turning to the light and letting the power of the sun cleanse you and bring you back from a state of sadness or confusion this week will give you the strength to overcome whatever obstacles get tossed in your way. The process of rebirth happens in both an instant and in time. Let this week provide the instance for you to break free but know that the process and the work of overcoming the things that are holding you back, of recreating yourself, and coming out on top will come with its growing pains. Let the divine spark within be the light and guidance that you need to help you find your way this week.
Libra Queen of Wands
Taking the time to really nurture your creative side can help to being balance and harmony into your life, but the hardest part can be making time for it. When you are working on the creative work in the world you find yourself to truly be in your element; you find that you move through life with a strong confidence, knowing that anything you want you can find a way to manifest and knowing that, if you desire it, all eyes can be on you. This week take time to nurture this self-confidence by doing the things that really sing your song to the world, but be mindful that this confidence isn’t presented as arrogance. All eyes may end up on you for the wrong reasons.
Scorpio Three of Wands
Spiritual journeys and adventures are being laid out before you but making a decision about which path to take and which road to travel seems to be holding you back. Are you taking too much time to ponder your choices on purpose or are just waiting for the perfect thing to come along. This week it’s time to really take a good look at the opportunities that are presenting themselves to you in all aspects of life and deciding which path to take, but be sure to take into consideration which path will also nurture the spirit and soul. If something, such as a new job opportunity, makes it way to you be sure to consider the ethics and morals of the work as well as considering the financial rewards. This is a week for making decisions, so be ready to possibly take a step out into the unknown.
Sagittarius Knight of Wands
This is a week for doing; no more sitting around and waiting for things to fall into place. As you charge ahead this week be sure to keep your eyes on where you’re going. Don’t let blind passion or excitement cause you to end up out of control. You might also find that this week your aggressive, go-getter attitude will be helpful to a friend or coworker who needs a little extra push in their own lives and work. Don’t be so driven on your own path that you can’t take a moment or two out to help someone else. Just remember to keep the beast within tamed this week and everything will stay level, high energy, and productive this week.
Capricorn The Fool
As the week unfolds you might find yourself filled with the energy of The Fool. Ready to move off into the unknown, looking for adventure, you may find that others around you are looking to warn you of the possible ills you could face. Where it’s a radically different hair cut, a change in job or a move, you’re ready for something completely different but the challenge for you with this will be keeping everyone around you from driving you crazy with their words of caution. Keep in mind that sometimes the reason we might find people trying to keep us from doing something is because they may envy our ability to be bold and do something different. Listen to what those who care for you have to say but follow your own heart in making your decisions.
Aquarius Seven of Cups
Decisions abound this week but a great deal of distraction will get in the way. Many choices may be presented in front of you, particularly in the area of social engagements and even travel, and picking the best and most reasonable uses of your time and money will be a bit of a challenge. While a trip to Paris might sound like a great idea and possibly a lot of fun, a weekend camping trip might be more attainable. Take the time to weigh your options before making any hasty decisions. Be sure to keep your head about you, especially if others try and distract you while trying to sway you to their suggestions.
Pisces Page of Cups
A desire for a time of personal exploration, especially to look deeper into the emotional and intuitive side of yourself, may become a much needed escape for you this week. The crazy motions on the surface will be easy to leave behind for some time away this week but use that time wisely. Take time for meditation and reflection, taking care to really look at how you’re feeling and how you’re dealing with things up there on the surface. You may find that you feel a bit sentimental this week, which may be good for the chaos around you since you will probably have an easier time giving people a little more leeway and space.
Have a great week everyone!!
Tarotscopes for May 31 to June 6
May 31st
This week for the tarotscopes I have decided to work with a new deck, one that I long anticipated coming out and have really enjoyed since it’s arrival. Our tarotsopes this week are brought to you by the Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law and Barbara Moore. Be sure to visit the website for the deck too. I’ll be posting a small review on the deck later today as well since this is a new one that I haven’t talked about or reviewed yet. This week there seems to be a lot of energies floating around that call on us to work and live from a place of gratitude in order to let go of energies that are holding us back. Others might find that this is a week for giving rather than receiving. This is going to be a week for everyone to go within in some aspect in order to bring some outward changes for the coming weeks.
Tarotscopes for Monday, May 31, 2010 through Sunday, June 6, 2010
Aries Three of Swords
This week you might find yourself feeling a bit isolated and emotionally worse for wear. Like a sword through the heart someone’s words or actions will lead you to a feeling of betrayal. And while heartbreak and loneliness will naturally lead to state of sadness and feelings of loss, do not bring yourself to a place of victimhood. Feel the emotions that you have within and let them run their course, but don’t hold on to them. Let the tears and sadness be a reminder that you are in fact human, not superhuman, and even the strongest of people find themselves lost and betrayed from time to time. Rise above these feelings and by weeks end you should be ready to move forward with a renewed sense of self and purpose.
Taurus Queen of Pentacles
Whether you feel it these days or not, you are in a places of great strength and grounding. Like a mighty oak tree you have the ability to stand firm and strong in those things that are you earthed and grounded in while lending protection and aid to others. You might find yourself called on to lend some of that strength to others this week, especially in the form of emotional support. Know that you can draw on your great strength with grace and ease by simply seeing and sensing yourself like a large, rooted tree, drawing up the power and strength of the Earth Mother through your roots and radiating that energy to those in need through the shelter of the mighty branches that tower over you. Your desire to protect and care for those who have cared for you in the past will be the fire to keep you going.
Gemini Nine of Swords
There is an energy around you this week that will seem to call on some of the fears and worries that you have been trying to suppress and hold back for some time. Rather than face them in the past you have tried to work to put them in a place where you can ignore them, a place where they aren’t nipping at your heels or standing out in the light of day. Try as you might, they are going to start surfacing again and this time they will come with a Dark Night of the Soul, not willing to be put back in a box under the proverbial bed, but ready to be confronted. The thing to keep in mind in order to keep your head above water is that you have the power and the strength to break yourself free of these emotional bonds but you need to be willing to do the work. There is help waiting for you as well, whether it’s in the form of spirit guides or actual people in your life, but again you need to be willing to accept the help. Don’t allow your fear or worries to immobilize you. Stand up, be strong and fly free in the face of adversity.
Cancer Nine of Pentacles
You have worked hard to find your place of balance, a place within yourself where you can feel of the physical world while being firmly rooted in the spiritual world. You have done well on this search for balance and have come to a place where you can now truly sing your song and play your tune in harmony with the world around you. The key for you this week will be to really allow yourself to trust in your own knowing, allowing yourself to rely on your own perceptions and impressions from the world around you to guide you through any challenges you may face. You have a great and growing understanding of things on a deeper, psychic and spiritual level at this point, but now it’s time to use that skill for your benefit.
Leo The World
Hard work, especially work that you have had to put your very heart and soul into, is coming into its final stages this week and the rewards and benefits are going to begin to come to you. This could be something non-tangible, such as effort put into a relationship, work that you have done to cultivate emotional changes in your life, or something that has brought you to a new and deeper understanding of the world and people around you. It’s something that you have worked hard to achieve and it’s finally going to come to the point of completion. As you find yourself enjoying the fruits of your labor, remember that you need to continue to turn the wheel, so to speak, and keep feeding energy to your work, even in the phase of reaping. If we stop too long to pat ourselves on the back some of the fruit we carelessly leave on vine will die. Enjoy your rewards but know your true work is never done.
Virgo The Moon
This week be ready to keep a keen eye on things going on around you that might otherwise be ignored or forgotten. Illusions and deceit, people saying one thing only to turn around and do another could play a part in the way your work week plays out. On one hand you will have your true heart, your gut feelings and the things that you know in your heart to be true, but on the other you’ll have the things that are presented to you in such a way that they just seem “right”. Keep in mind the old saying “if it looks too good to be true, it probably is”. The illusion and intoxication of the light of the full moon can make even some of the most unpleasant and dangerous things look enticing and beautiful.
Libra Eight of Cups
The time has come to release and let go of emotions that have long been holding you back and keeping you in a place that hasn’t allowed you to see the truth of either a certain situation or even the truth in your own heart. There has been a neglect of the spiritual side of things for favor of that which is held brightly in the sometimes too harsh light of day. By giving yourself some time this week to leave the “real world” behind for a bit you will be able to see things more clearly later on. The depths and darkness of the inner world is where you’ll find some peace and balance, some solace from the busy and hectic things happening on the surface of that “real world”. Leave behind your worries and cares and let yourself rest and “be” this week so that you can find some more balance around you.
Scorpio The Magician
The power of the Magician is the power to create, but it’s not just the power to create in a magickal sense but in the mundane as well. This week pull on your resources so that you have the ability to truly create whatever it is that you most desire. You have the strength within yourself to bring whatever you truly desire into your life but it’s a matter of both believing in yourself and knowing just what energies and resources to work with. You may find that help in the most unlikely of places will present themselves to you this week to make something you’ve long desired finally happen in your life. As things begin to bloom around you remember to move forward with gratitude and a willingness to return the favor.
Sagittarius Three of Cups
This week is a great week to get together with a few old friends to celebrate each other and your long histories together. We may lose tough of each other on a daily basis and we may find that from time to time we fall off one another’s radars, but those who are truly our friends and family of the heart need us, we always hear that call and answer it. Make some calls, send some emails, plan a visit; do something to get in touch and bring together those who have truly been there for one another over the years. If it’s been a while since you’ve seen each other, try and begin to plan a reunion weekend for some time in the coming months. It’s a time of celebration for you and doing that with those that have always been there for you and who will truly feel your joy are the ones you should share it with.
Capricorn Ace of Cups
A sense of emotional renewal surrounds you this week as stress and emotional issues from the past few weeks seem to ripple far out in the distance, no longer carrying much weight for you. New emotional tides are moving in this week but with a feeling of joy and excitement. You may also find that you’re really tapped into the things happening with those around you this week, almost to the point of thinking you’re reading everyone’s minds. You’ll seem to find yourself in just the right place at just the right time with just the right words for helping out those in need of someone’s thoughts and input. You hold that proverbial loving cup this week and now is a great time to lift it high, thanking the Gods for their gifts, drinking deeply.
Aquarius Seven of Pentacles
The time for reward, especially reward for hard work, is upon you…or is it? This week you may find yourself at a point where it seems like something you have been tending to has come to a point of completion, a point where it’s time to pull the fruit from the vine, but are you doing this a little prematurely? Take some time to look at what you have been working so hard at and make sure that nothing of importance has been missed. Look at things with another “eye” so to speak. This is a time when being self-critical could mean the difference between great work and spectacular work. There is also an essence of sadness or uncertainty of what to do once you have completed this project. Don’t worry; there are many more opportunities coming your way if you’re willing to put in this same effort and energy. You’re garden if far from fallow.
Pisces Five of Pentacles
Like the song says “every rose has its thorn, just like ever night has its dawn”. With each negative a positive is sure to come to help bring things back into balance, but sometimes we are so consumed by that darkness that we can’t ever see the light on the horizon. Right now you might be feeling as though, in some aspect of your life, you are at the all time low, the bottom rung of the ladder and at a place where nothing good seems to be in reach. Instead of being so clearly focused on the things that are holding you back or spending time wishing on the things you don’t have, take a moment to look up and see what is plainly right in front of you. Many times we might long for material things that we can’t afford, thinking that these things are going to make our lives better, but we forget to be thankful for what we do have like our health, a roof over our heads, friends and family, etc. If you’re finding that everything around you seems to just come back to a place of loss and want, take time to really begin to look instead at what you have to be thankful for. Some people might find it a bit too “new age” or hokey, but read, or re-read, “The Secret” and you will find that working with these principles of living in gratitude really do help bring those things we want most in our lives to us with effortless grace.
Have a great week everyone!!
Tarotscopes for May 24 to May 30
May 24th
Tarotscopes are a little bit late today and I am very sorry! I know it’s going to be the lamest answer to why something is late but, in complete honesty, I was still getting over the emotional drain from watching the “Lost” series finale. This week’s tarotscopes are interesting since there is a lot of earth and a lot of call for those that have an earth card to look for connections to and balance within earth. Only two major arcana cards came up this week and they were both somewhat loaded cards. A lot of what is going on this week looks to have many people looking within and working on finding balance. Make the most of this week because by Friday all effects of the most recent Mercury Retrograde should be in the past!
Tarotscopes for Monday, May 24, 2010 through Sunday, May 30, 2010
Aries Four of Air
It’s time for a time out. The last few weeks have been physically and emotionally hectic and even draining at times. This week be sure to take time to create and enjoy sacred space. Spend a little time setting up or reworking a meditation altar and permanent sacred space, even if it’s just a small corner of a dresser or on a nightstand. Be sure to set boundaries with those in the home as well, setting aside time for yourself to meditate and enjoy this space, getting the most out of this time creating a loving and nurturing spiritual nest to go to. Stand by your decision to take time for yourself.
Taurus Six of Water
Taking time to flow with the community around you, whether it’s in your physical neighborhood, an coven, or a distance spiritual group, can help you to remove occasional feelings of being isolated or on the outside of things. All yourself to be “naked”, being your authentic self, so that those around you can know who you really are will make this a rewarding and special experience. This will allow them to fully embrace you into their circle.
Gemini Seven of Fire
This week opportunity may knock so you need to be ready to answer. As the saying goes “strike while the iron is hot”, so don’t let chances pass you by this week. You have a lot more power and creativity than you may give yourself credit for, so when someone else comes around and recognizes it within you, be sure to take notice. You may find that the fire you need to tend to this most is the one within that fuels your courage and self-confidence.
Cancer Child of Water
You might find yourself living truly within your watery element this week. Take time to hear and acknowledge your feelings and emotions. There will be some unexpected treasures found within this experience, you’ll learn some new things about who you truly are at a heart level as you allow yourself some time to really be in the moment with your emotions.
Leo Lightning
A change is on the horizon and it’s been hanging in the wings for some time. Something has been calling out to you to make some big changes but fear, especially fear of failure, has been holding you back. This isn’t a catastrophic change but it will be something that will change your daily life. Whether it’s the need to change personal habits, change jobs, or make changes to a relationship, the final catalyst will, like it or not, push you into change this week. Be prepared and let it happen because resisting is definitely not the answer.
Virgo Ten of Earth
Sometimes we can find ourselves preoccupied, almost to a fault, with abundance and security. Many of we have found ourselves hyper-focused on our personal thoughts about abundance because of things in our modern day culture like “The Secret” trying to remind us that our thoughts create the energy that manifests in our lives. Don’t allow yourself to worry about your state of abundance; you have all you truly need. Instead this week allow your thoughts to be focused on the attitude of gratitude, acknowledging what you have rather than worrying about what you either don’t have or what you could lose.
Libra The Moon
This week issues of illusion and facing your shadow self could surface, possibly through the help of a close friend or family member. If you start to notice negative or darker aspects of yourself coming out, take the time to acknowledge them, address them, and work with them. When we try to suppress this other half of our personality and psyche we can find our intuitive side closes down and that nightmares manifest from our fears. Take the time to face those fears and worries this week as they start to come to the surface.
Scorpio Explorer of Earth
Has it been a while since you spent time really connecting to the earth? When we spend time apart from the natural world we lose a small piece of ourselves. For some people reconnecting to the earth and reconnecting to the earth element within can mean actually working within the earth and for others its about caring for the earth through acts of kindness, like recycling. What connects you to earth? Explore earth this week, both literally and spiritually. Take a walk in your neighborhood and observe earth and its magick around you. Set time aside to meditate on earth, maybe working with the earth element and connecting the root chakra.
Sagittarius Seven of Water
Sometimes the hardest thing about choices is having so many different options. We can sometimes find ourselves, almost frozen in place because we can’t decide, and when we do, we might not know if we made the “right” choice. This week you may find yourself in a position to make a decision that could stop you in your tracks because of the enormity of the options, but take time to steady and ground yourself and let your intuition guide you. Don’t force yourself to make a choice, let yourself feel truly called and trust in that knowing and you will be on the right track.
Capricorn Ten of Air
Any feelings of being stuck or trapped will begin to life this week. You will be flying free into the sunset and leaving behind any of the darkness and loss. If you find this ends with a painful transition do not hesitate to call on those close to you who can listen and support you in these changes. The key this week is letting go. Take time to say goodbye to any projects, ideas, plans and even relationships that have been holding you back. What awaits on the horizon will lead you to where you need to truly be right now.
Aquarius Nine of Earth
Hard work is paying off and this week you’ll find yourself able to truly observe and feel the fruits of your labor. Look around you and see the beauty of what you have created in your life. This doesn’t just pertain to things like money and work but also to family and friends. Be open to honoring your part in the creation and thriving relationships around you and know that many other wonderful things are on their way to you.
Pisces Guardian of Earth
The power of earth is particularly important for you this week, but specifically in the sense of honoring the earth through honoring your body. Give some time this week to evaluating how you feel physically, listening to your body and honoring its needs, specifically paying attention to your diet. Work to make changes to eliminate heavily processed, chemical filled foods with more natural, organic and pure foods to help purify and attune the body back to the earth.
Have a great week everyone!!
