Oracle Card Reading of the Month – October 2018

This is going to be a two card spread for the month of October 2018. I’m using the Oracle of Mystical Moments by Catrin Weiz-Stein for this reading.

The first card is the card of where you are now. It’s Like a Bird. This is a card of forward focus and forward movement.  A card of motivation to move forward.  When a bird is flying, it’s focus is ahead, not behind.  So you may be in a place in your life (with some area of your life) that is very focused. Which is a good way to be. The only way to get anything done is to have focus and intention. It has to start there.

The second card is the  card of where you’re headed and that card is All is Connected. One of my favorite cards in this deck. It’s about the push and pull between growth and release.  And how those two dynamics are intertwined and can’t ever be disconnected. You can’t have one without the other.  If you think of a child literally growing, as they get taller or bigger, they have to release certain things.  Maybe the most obvious, the clothes they were wearing. Because they don’t fit.  It’s not a bad thing, but it’s necessary.  You can’t grow and expect to hold on to all the things you had before.  That’s part of what evolution and growth is all about.  Remember that things don’t really end, they just change.  And sometimes what we leave behind ends up coming back to us. Sometimes in the same form or way it was before…sometimes in a transformed way that suits us even better.

We just ended a five month Pluto retrograde. It will take about four months for him to really regain his forward momentum, but he’s at least stationed direct.  Issues of power and control may have played a role in your life the past five months.  And now, you can take those lesson and hopefully apply them to yourself and your life in a more evolved way.

The month of October (and the first half of November) will be characterized in part by a Venus retrograde. A time to review relationships and the things we value and what we love. And why we love it. Or to ask ourselves if we love it at all.  Relationships may transform or change.  Or ask us to transform and change. Always remember what’s meant to be yours will never leave you and will always find you.  So if you have to let something (or someone) go, release them with love and blessing. It’s for your higher good.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – September 30, 2018

The card in the past position is the Four of Cups upright. This can be a sense of boredom with something. And it may be relationship related.  The suit of cups corresponds to relationships, feelings and emotions.  It can also indicate an offer being made to you but you’re not really excited about it.  Maybe a new relationship or a new dynamic within an already existing relationship.

The card in the present energy is the Four of Pentacles upright.  Two “four” cards.  The number four in the traditional tarot speaks to stability.  Which is good.  This card is about holding on to what you have in terms of money or finances/resources. It can sometimes be viewed as a miserly card.  Hoarding, in a way. But it could also just indicate somebody being more responsible with their money or possessions. Not spending frivolously or irresponsibly.  But it is a sense of stability with money.

The future card is the Nine of Cups reversed.  Maybe you did accept the offer that was given up there with the Four of Cups, or maybe you thought that by holding on to your money you’d be happy…and this card is indicating a sense of being dissatisfied.  It’s as if now you have this THING or PERSON you thought you wanted, that you thought would make you happy…and you realize…eh…it’s not all that great. Or, maybe things weren’t so bad the way they were before I had this thing or this person.  This card can also indicate just a block or delay to having what you want. This is often called the “wish fulfillment” card. So it’s just a delay to having that wish fulfilled.

I drew another card out of curiosity and it’s the Eight of Wands upright. A card of action and movement and communication. Sometimes called the “arrows of love.” So it can suggest communication or something related to love or a relationship in some way.

The First Acorn on Mabon…

Yesterday was the start of autumn in the northern hemisphere. Called Mabon if you follow the wheel of the year, it’s a time of harvest and reaping what has been sewn.

For good luck, keep the first acorn you find on Mabon (or in the days after). Keep it with you in your wallet or purse, or on your altar or somewhere in your house for good luck. I like to charge and empower the first few I find with the things I’d like to manifest during the season.  Then I put each one in a specific place. One on my ancestor/Samhain altar, for example. Another in my purse.  Or in the love corner (if you feng shui your living space) for a new relationship or a new dynamic within an already existing relationship.

Return the acorn (or acorns) back to the earth after the season is over as a thanks for their blessing and manifestation and good luck.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – September 23, 2018

The card of the past energy is the Nine of Swords reversed. So this card can indicate being really, really consumed with anxiety and fear. Not just that it’s keeping you up at night, but that it’s controlling your life.  So an unhealthy sense of worry.  To the point of being disabling.  Thankfully, it’s energy we are leaving or have already left behind.

The card in the present energy is Judgement upright. A major arcana card about rebirth and renewal.  Being born anew in some way.  Maybe in some practical, tangible way in our lives. Or in the way we think about something. Or somebody.  But a good card because it indicates a new beginning to something significant.

The future card is The Tower reversed. Also a major arcana card – so this is about big shifts or energy.  This card reversed can indicate that this sudden tearing down of something is happening to somebody else around us. So not to us directly, but maybe to a friend or family member.  Or that it’s something we have somehow narrowly escaped. But it’s the sudden, unexpected end to something. A source of stability.   So even if it’s not happen to us directly,  it can impact us all the same if it’s happening to somebody we care about who is close to us.

So a lot of up and down this week.   Hold fast to Judgement upright because it’s indicates rebirth and “new.”  The seasons just shifted with the autumnal equinox (in the northern hemisphere).  So shift is all around – not just with the seasons but also with the energy.  Flow with it…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – September 16, 2018

The card in the past position is the Six of Pentacles upright. A card of give and take.  Equality and balance, especially where it concerns money or things you value as much as money. The suit of pentacles generally speaks to money, resources, finances. But not always.  So this dynamic of give and take. Or, what is coming in (financially) and what is going out (in terms of spending).  “Six” Cards are generally thought to be cards of stability and balance. So this could also indicate a sense of balance returning to your finances or your income.

The card in the present position is the Four of Pentacles reversed. Another pentacles card. This an be a card of not holding on to your “stuff” so much.  Instead of being miserly and hoarding it all for yourself (as this card can sometimes indicate upright), it’s giving some things away. Maybe money, maybe your possessions.  Or things you value as much as money and your possessions. Like your time, for example.  So just a letting go a little bit. More charitable, more giving.

The future card is The Emperor upright. A major arcana card. This card is associated with the astrological sign of Aries, but it doesn’t have to be. An emperor’s rank is higher than that of a king. So this is a man (or person, or energy) with an immense amount of power, control and command. In a good way.  Very sure of who he is, where he’s going and what he wants. And he will get what he is going after.   Dominant, but again, not in a negative way. Just in a very certain way.  Maybe this is you (or the energy around you) when it comes to your finances as the week goes on. Or, maybe it’s a boss or some sort of authority figure around you – around your job or where you work.

There may be a focus around money or finances this week. Not in a bad way, though. If anything, finding a little more balance with your money. And finally reaching a place of certainty and stability.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – September 9, 2018

The card in the recent past position is the King of Pentacles upright.  Pentacles people can be earth sign people (Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn), but they don’t have to be. And a king has attained the highest level of accomplishment within that suit. Pentacles is about money, career, job, finances, resources. This can be a feeling of financial security. Or maybe an actual person who is accomplished in their career as well as with their finances.  Generally a stable and responsible energy.

The card of the present is the Six of Pentacles reversed. Not being able to, or not wanting to, give and take.  This can be with regard to anything – money (it is a pentacles card), relationships, your health, on and on. But it’s a difficulty with give and take. However that may resonate for you and in your life.

The future card is the Six of Wands upright. A great card because it’s about victory and success. And being acknowledged by your peers and those around you. Sometimes this card can indicate an aware (or reward) coming to you in some way.  So something is going to end very well.  Success and a victory.

There’s a new moon today in Virgo which is a great time to set forth new intentions when it comes to areas of your life that need a little attention.  Especially, attention to detail.  And to get very specific about what you want to accomplish, manifest or welcome into your life.

Cosmic Correspondence – Saturn Direct

Saturn has been retrograde since the middle of April. He stations (a fancy astrology term for “goes”) direct on September 6. He’s currently transiting his home sign of Capricorn and will remain there until 2020. Saturn is an outer planet (like Uranus and Pluto) so his transits are longer and slower.  Inner planets like Mars, Venus and Mercury move faster. Their direct affect on us may not be as serious or significant.  For me, I pay attention to the outer planets more than the inner planets.  Perhaps not as exciting (because they will stay in a place for years), the shift they can present can be life altering.

Saturn is all about growing up, restriction, responsibility, life lessons. Perhaps the two biggest areas of our lives (or of ourselves) that concern responsibility are our health and our job/money. So there may be a focus for all of us in some way on these two areas. But any plans that have felt stagnant will now get a cosmic push to go forward. Put another way, you can’t blame the universe for your plans not moving ahead. Mercury is direct and now so is Saturn.

The two most affected signs by Saturn’s transit through Capricorn are Capricorn and Cancer.   It’s always important to note if your sign is the opposite of the sign directly affected, because you will feel the shift as well.  While Capricorn is going to take the most direct hit of Saturn (their very core, their sense of self, their purpose or place in the world), Cancers will feel it when it comes to issues of job and service, daily routine, health/nutrition and responsibilities.  It’s in the sixth house for Cancers.

Saturn transits a sign two to three times in a typical lifetime. Thankfully, only two or three times in a typical lifetime.  The transits can present significant shifts in our lives and massive change.  Which is necessary, but as with any kind of growth or evolution, some growing pains are involved.

And because nobody lives on an island, if we don’t experience these changes ourselves, it could be that we experience them through others.  Our family, friends, co-workers, even our neighbors.

As with all transits, flow with it.  Always remember that if one thing is constant and consistent, it’s change.  What is good, won’t stay good forever. What is bad, won’t stay bad forever.  And we need both – the good and the bad. The light and the dark.  But use this forward movement of Saturn to propel your goals and plans. A universal push forward for all of us.

The Suit of Pentacles…

The suit of the traditional tarot that corresponds to the earth element.  And to earth signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.  Pentacles are pentagrams with a  circle around them. And I hope all of you reading this know that the five points of a pentagram are about the elements (fire, water, air, earth) and spirit.  They are also a symbol of protection. Many sheriff deputies wear a five pointed star as their badge. And a lot of Christmas decorations in the form of a star have five points.

Pentacles are all about earthly things, possessions, materialistic goods.  Money is the first and probably most prominent that come to mind.  But also your job, career, finances, resources. And sometimes, depending on how the cards present and what the other cards are around them and where, the suit of pentacles can be about something you value as much as money. 

The court cards are slow moving people.  In part because they are stable and grounded and responsible.  Just like their earth sign counterparts, they don’t do anything in haste or without thinking it through.  They are hard working and dedicated to their jobs and careers (or whatever it is that gives them money). Even the Knight of Pentacles is slow moving.  But if you think about it, when it comes to things like money or your job, slow development may be the best way to go.

Reversed, these people are irresponsible and lazy.  They can also be cheap and not very giving when it comes to money. These are the people who don’t tip anybody. Or who let whoever else they are with do the tipping.  There’s a slight undercurrent of entitlement with these people when they present reversed.  Why should they work hard when somebody else can do it?  Why should they tip when who they’re out with can tip? Why should they financially plan for the future when they can just rely on the money or the investments of their partner?  That sort of energy.

But for the most part, this suit is one of stability and responsibility.  And maturity, in a way.  The court cards upright are generally mature in their approach to their jobs or money. Or how they conduct themselves around these things.  Which is certainly reassuring and refreshing…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – September 2, 2018

The card in the past position is the Two of Wands reversed.  Fear of the unknown. And, sometimes, consequently,  a lack of planning. Any time there is a “2” in the traditional tarot, it can indicate a choice or a decision that needs to be made. With this card there may be two things you are hoping or wanting to pursue (creative endeavors or passions) and there’s a fear of how it’s going to work out. Or IF it will work out.  Fear can sometimes paralyze us and prevent us from doing anything. So be mindful of this energy around you.  It’s leaving – this is the card in the past position.

The present card is the Page of Wands upright. Pages can be children (or people who act like children…). They are also messengers.  The suit of wands corresponds to the fire signs – Leo, Sagittarius, Aries.  So it could be a message from or about one of these people. Or it could just be a message of the beginning of something that is exciting for you.  In a way, Pages are a little like Ace cards – there’s an element of beginning with these cards. So if this isn’t the actual beginning of it, it’s news of it. Maybe you were waiting to hear about a job opening – and this is the message you receive that it’s open. Or for a house to be put on the market.  Pages are novices, Kings are the most accomplished in their particular suit. So this could also indicate you being new at something.

The future card is The Star reversed. This card is the major arcana wish fulfillment card. The Nine of Cups is the minor arcana card.  It’s reversed, so there may be a wish that isn’t fulfilled for you. Not yet granted. Or just a feeling that you aren’t blessed, or were born under an “unlucky star.”   Reversals, for the most part, indicate a blockage or a delay to things. It doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t ever happen. Just that the energy around this is blocked right now.   Sometimes, the universe (God, spirit, your angels, guides…whoever you resonate with) will block something because there’s something much better on its way.  We just can’t see it or don’t know it yet. So flow with it. Whatever is meant  for you won’t pass you by…

Be open to what calls you…
