Tarot Card Reading of the Week + Oracle Card – December 30, 2018

Because this is a card reading for the week that flows into the next calendar year, this reading and these energies can carry over throughout the year. Think of it as a preview of what the year ahead holds.

The energy we are leaving (the past week, the past year) is the Knight of Pentacles reversed. This can be an earth sign person in their twenties or thirties (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn). Knights are about movement and action, but this knight is the slowest moving knight of the deck. He can also be about money or material goods. Tangible goods. Reversed, he may be moving a little faster than usual. Because upright, he’s plodding along.  Which isn’t necessarily bad if it concerns money or your property, right? You want to be methodical and to be thorough about decisions and actions.  But reversed, he’s moving on something. Which is good.

The present energy is the Two of Cups upright. A beautiful card of love and relationships and union. It doesn’t have to be romantic in nature – it can just as easily be a partnership around business or a deepening of a friendship or becoming closer with a family member.  But it’s coming together. It’s love. It’s union.  Beautiful.

The future card is the Nine of Pentacles upright. Which is kind of the opposite of the Two of Cups in a way. This is the “happy single person” card. It shows a woman dressed in a beautiful gown, surrounded by nine pentacles with a bird on her shoulder. I love that this card shows a woman with her pet critter with her.  Pentacles generally refer to money and tangible goods (our stuff).  She’s doing quite well financially and she’s happy. She’s also by herself.  So this can indicate making peace with being single if that is a dynamic in your life. It can indicate success with a private business or a solo venture. j

The oracle card is Here and Now.  It’s about being present in the moment.  Not getting stuck in the past and not being super concerned about the future, but about being content and at peace with this moment, right now. With what you have, right now.  Finding happiness with where you are now. We tend to be very focused on the future at the beginning of a new year. What the next year will hold, the things we’d like to manifest or create, what we’d like to accomplish. But there’s something to be said with just being content with right now.  With all that you have and all that you have already accomplished.

Astrologically speaking, towards the end of this week, all the planets will be direct and they will stay direct for about two months.  There’s no excuse to NOT start that new thing or go after that new goal now. Not just because of a date on the calendar, but also because the universe is giving us all a cosmic push to go after what we want.  It’s about forward moment and forward momentum.  Take advantage of it.   There’s always a period of about 6-8 weeks every (calendar) year where all the planets are direct.  Those weeks/months are the time to GO. And to DO.  It’s not about planning and figuring out and calculating. It’s about doing.  Use this energy – it’s truly a gift from the universe.

Be open to what calls you…

Cosmic Correspondence – Three Moons and All Planets Direct

January 2018 is starting off with a lot of energy. Lunar energy, specifically.  On January 1, there will be a full moon at 11 degrees of Cancer.  We have the beginning of a new year. And with this full moon, the end of  a cycle. That dynamic coupled with the polarity between Cancer (emotional, sensitive, family oriented)  and Capricorn (work horse, responsible, grounded),  January 1 may feel a little…off.  But as with all things – it will pass.  It’s a good day to give thanks for the completion of a cycle. A lunar cycle as well as a year that has just passed. And then be open to the new year ahead.

Then on January 2, Uranus will go direct.  This will mark a period of about 8 weeks or so when all planets are direct. From January 2 until March 8, nothing will be retrograde. Whatever you have wanted to begin, or look into…this is the green light from the universe.  New Year’s Resolutions…you won’t have the stars to blame for not following through.   We get this period of a few weeks of everything moving direct every year. It’s not a time to gloss over. Take advantage of that energy moving you forward.

There’s a new moon in the middle of the month, and it is also involving Uranus and Mars. Surprising events may take place. New moons are also a time to start things – to begin. So it may be just the surprise you need to encourage you to move something forward.

The month is bookended by another full moon. This one is at 11 degrees of Leo.  And it’s a lunar eclipse.  Eclipses end things, more so than with an ordinary full moon.  Leo is a different energy than Cancer.  A lot more dynamic and rushing in to get things done. It’s as if the first month of this new year is almost forcing us to take a look at what we need to let go of in order to really move forward. And if we do it on our own, it will be a lot easier than if we wait for the universe to do it for us. So be sure to use that first full moon to release and let go. The full moon in Leo may be a little more aggressive with things.

The start of a new year or a new lunar cycle (with a new moon) is an ideal time to work on a manifestation board.  You cut out words or images that you want for yourself that year or in the lunar period.  The idea is that you put it  in a place that you will see every day and just by looking at the pictures and the words, the ideas get put in your head. The same way advertising in magazines or billboards or TV ads work.  The manifestation board can focus on one specific area (let’s say money or career) or everything and anything you want for yourself in any area.  After the year has passed or the lunar cycle, look back at the board and see how many of those things actually came into you life. You may be surprised.

I hope this new year is full of blessings and miracles for all of us.  And the cosmic push to move forward with our lives.

Be open to what calls you…
