Tarot Reading of the Week – April 2, 2018

Intersting energies this week.  The first card is The Magician reversed. Which can indicate a manipulative energy. Or, somebody with an immense amount of talent that squanders it.  But be mindful of somebody who is a bit manipulative.

The second card is The World upright.  Completion. Accomplishment.  The major arcana portion of the traditional tarot starts at zero with The Fool. It’s his journey through life. It ends with card twenty one – The World.  Having it all. Having received what you came for and found success with completion.

The last card is the Eight of Cups upright.  Walking away from an emotional situation.  Leaving it behind. I view this as leaving something that is probably not good for you to begin with.  Perhaps an abusive relationship, or just a relationship that was no longer serving you. If it isn’t making you better or happy, it’s probably not serving your higher good.

It could be that we realize we already have it all and we don’t need a relationship or person we’re clinging to. And we make a decision to walk away towards better things.

Tarot Reading of the Week – March 26, 2018

The first card is The Emperor.  A major arcana card. This could be an Aries male since this is the major arcana card that corresponds to Aries.  But not necessarily. An emperor outranks a king.  This is a very commanding, in control energy. He’s not somebody you mess with or push boundaries with.  He commands respect and he gets it.

The next card is the Queen of Cups reversed. She can be a water sign (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) woman over 35, but not necessarily.  When the water signs present reversed, they can be manipulative. Especially when it comes to emotions.  She can also just be a woman who isn’t in control fo her emotions. Not in an angry way – more of a crying, whining sort of way.  In any case, be mindful of emotional manipulation.  Perhaps coming from or around a woman.

The last card is the Seven of Swords upright. You’re on top of this…you got this.  A bit of a struggle, but you’re standing your ground.  So if something in your life feels a little daunting or exhausting (maybe dealing with that emotional manipulation around you), don’t worry – you can handle it.  And as with all energy, good or bad, it’s temporary and will shift.

The Spring Equinox

The spring equinox is upon us (in the northern hemisphere). March 20, 2018, we have the spring equinox  and the Sun entering Aries. Which also brings the astrological new year.

This is an ideal time set forth intentions. I always say that the universe gives us lots of opportunities to start anew. Not just with each new day, but the beginning of every week, of every month, with each full and/or new moon. And when there is an equinox.  If there are ideas you thought to put into motion on January 1, but never got around to doing or truly fulfilling, this is a good time to do it.  The season changes, the amount of light and dark changes and if you can herald that energy to change something within yourself or for yourself, all the better.

I welcome the shift in energy.  We move from the watery, sensitive, emotional sign of Pisces to the dynamic, cardinal fire sign of Aries.  It’s about action and doing things.  Pushing forward.  And doing so fearlessly.  So don’t be afraid to start something new or to change your perspective on something.  Sometimes, just changing one thing in a small way can lead to significant, positive change.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Reading of the Week – March 18, 2018

The card in the recent past, or the energy we are leaving is the Two of Cups reversed. A lack of union.  This can represent the breakup of a relationship or just this energy of not coming together in some way.  A block or delay to love, perhaps.

The card in the present energy is the Queen of Wands reversed. She can be a fire sign female (Sagittarius, Aries, Leo) over 35. Reversed, as she is here, she’s…..not a nice woman. Difficult. Demanding. Moody. Prone to angry outbursts.  If this isn’t a  person, it can just be an energy around you.  Difficult energy, lots of tension and anger.  It’s the “walking on egg shells” energy.

The card in the future is The Star. It’s a major arcana card, so it speaks louder than the other cards. This is a card of blessings. It is the “wish fulfillment” card of the major arcana (the Nine of Cups is the minor arcana wish fulfillment card).  It’s about balance and peace and…wishes coming true.

So we may be coming into the week off the heels of a failed or tense relationship.  But the  future seems to hold a wish fulfilled.  Just be mindful of the tension that may present at some point this week as well.

We’re about to enter the sign of Aries, astrologically speaking. Any time we’re at the end of a sign (or a particular planet’s energy) and about to enter another, there can be some tension.   Just the shift in energy. So in this case, it’s moving from the sensitive, watery sign of Pisces into the dynamic, motivated fire sign of Aries. We may all feel that shift in some are of our lives.

Tarot Reading of the Week – March 11, 2018

The card in the past position is the Seven of Wands reversed.  Feeling overwhelmed by something.  Not in control or in command of it.

The card in the present position is the Knight of Swords upright. Knights are about movement and action.  The suit of swords corresponds to air signs (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini) and to the mind, thinking, thoughts, communication. So this is a fast moving knight and he’s all about a quickness of thought and quick communication. He’s upright, so it’s positive.  But fast paced.

The future card is The Lovers reversed. A major arcana card that corresponds to lovers or a love relationship and also to not taking responsibility for a relationship or a certain dynamic within a relationship.   It’s reversed, so it can be a lack of love or union. If your values or ideas for the relationship are not in alignment.  Not coming together.

This week there could be a focus on relationships because the energy from The Lovers card is prominent.  But given that this is a general reading, it doesn’t have to be that way. Expect quick paced action and communication around something, though.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Reading of the Week – March 4, 2018

In the past position we have The Hermit reversed.  So an energy we are leaving or have already left is one of being a little isolated. Perhaps a bit of a recluse.  Upright, this card is about seeking solitude to gain wisdom and insight. It’s about learning and studying, but with a hint of withdrawing to gain more knowledge. Reversed, this card is about being a little too isolated.

The card in the present position is the Two of Wands reversed.  Perhaps not planning ahead very well. Or having over-looked something.  Or some necessary details. This may have been due to impatience.  So it’s almost like there was a sense of excitement and a real desire and push to move forward. But in the process of all of that, some important details and elements were left out.

The card in the position of the future is the Queen of Pentacles upright. She can be an earth sign female (Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn) over 35. But she doesn’t have to be.  It doesn’t even have to be an actual person, just the energy of the card.  So this is about having your money in order. She’s a woman who is good with her resources and good with making everything run smoothly.  Perhaps a homemaker, or somebody with a family – but she’s able to juggle her family and running the household.  And it’s all done with a nurturing and caring attitude. So she’s not ruthless about it. She’s just very organized and practical and money and time savvy.  So a good energy to end the week with.

Perhaps we learn through our lack of planning or impatience with the Two of Wands reversed how to become better organized and structured.  Or, a woman (or person) comes to our aid who is really skilled at organization and planning (and even money) and she helps us make it all work.

Three Witchy Wishes…

March 2018 has two full moons. Just like January of this year.  There’s a full moon in Virgo on March 1 and then a full moon in Libra on March 31. A new moon in Pisces on March 15.  That’s a lot of lunar energy in one month.

One of my ways to celebrate moon cycles is to have wishes for each full moon.  Because March is the third month, I will have three wishes for the full moon. In this case,  on March 1. For the month of April, there will be four. So on and so forth.

Write them down and meditate on them every evening for a few moments.  And see how they manifest by the completion of that moon cycle.

My New Favorite Oracle Card Deck

Wisdom of the Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid.

So many reasons why I’ve fallen in love with this oracle card deck. The pictures are beautiful.  And in each picture, there’s a face.  Colette Baron-Reid explains it as an oracle living inside the cards.  I love the idea of each of the cards having an individual little spirit of their own.

The art work is adorable. Most of the cards have an animal of some sort. So if you’re an animal lover, this deck may appeal to you.  Bright and pretty colors are used as well.

And the meanings are easy to understand.  There’s a guidebook that comes with the deck in case you need it. And it gives additional insight into potential ways to read the cards.  This is also a deck in which the cards can be read reversed. I personally don’t read reversed oracle cards, only tarot cards. But for those people who look for alternative meanings and spreads, this may also appeal to you.

It’s a beautiful deck and an easy to work with deck as well.  My new favorite oracle card deck for sure.

Sun in Pisces

On February 18, 2018 the sun shifted from the intellectual air sign of Aquarius to the water sign of Pisces. Venus is in Pisces as well – so there’s an emotional, sensitive dynamic at play right now.

Ruled by Neptune, there can sometimes be a draw towards escapism with Pisces. Sometimes prone to substance abuse, but any habit or person that they can get lost in to distance themselves from their own sensitivity will work.

Use this energy and the energy of all planets moving direct (morning will retrograde until March 8 when Jupiter retrogrades for a few weeks) for creative endeavors. And to get in touch with all things emotional or that can elicit an emotional reaction.

Pisces is not a sign of aggression or confrontation. Reacting that way won’t get you very far right now. Going with the flow will probably be better all around.

Cosmic Correspondence – Full Moon Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse in Leo, New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius

On January 31, there will be a full moon in the sign of Leo. It’s the second full moon of the month – hence, a blue moon. The first was on January 1.  It’s also a lunar eclipse.  So a lot of energy is packed with this lunation. Especially given that it’s in a fire sign.

Full moons represent the completion of a cycle. Something being “finished” or “done.” Endings. They are generally viewed as ideal times to give thanks for receiving gifts as well as releasing what doesn’t serve you.

February 2018 won’t have any full moons.  But it will see a new moon solar eclipse in the sign of Aquarius.  New moons are ideal times for new beginnings.  To start something or begin.  Aquarius is an innovative sign.  A sign about “new ways of doing things.”   They are also community oriented.  As an air sign, it’s a communicative intellectual energy as well.

So the next few weeks are going to full of a lot of shifting energy, that’s for certain.  What you want to release, release. And what you want to begin, begin.  All the planets are moving direct until March 8.  Good energy to use to DO and CREATE and BEGIN.  Or to at least be open to the new beginnings the universe may have in store for you…
