Tarot Card Reading of the Week – March 3, 2019

The card in the past energy (what we are leaving) is the King of Pentacles reversed. This can be an earth sign person – Taurus, Capricorn or Virgo. But it doesn’t have to be. And the suit of pentacles is all about money and material goods.  Upright, this card would indicate an earth sign person who is very money savvy.  Or, who jus might have a lot of money. But he’s smart with it.  Reversed, we may have a person who is irresponsible with money or their resources.  Their save-to-spend ratio is a little off. Or…a lot off.  And they can be stubborn and defensive and difficult when confronted with this. Or with anything they don’t want to listen to or hear. If this isn’t a person, it can be the energy this card represents. Maybe you’ve just been spending more than you’d like the past week or so. Maybe you found out you won’t be getting a tax refund…and you were hoping for one. And you spent money assuming you’d get one. It’s energy in the past, energy we are leaving. Which is good.

The present energy is the Three of Wands upright.  Waiting for your ship to come in.  Whatever work or effort you’ve put towards something, you’re waiting for the payoff.  For the good to come back to you. And you can see it, but it’s out there at sea.  So you have to wait. This card can be indicating that patience is needed.  It’s there, it’s coming. Just be patient.

The future card is the Page of Swords reversed. Pages can be children under the age of 10-12. Or people who act like children.   The suit of swords corresponds to air sign people – Libra, Gemini, Aquarius.  Pages are also messengers. So this could literally be a child (air sign or not) who is being a little mouthy.  Either to you or to others. Saying things that are hurtful or that you don’t tolerate.  This card is also considered the gossip card.  And it’s not positive gossip. Is there such a thing?  But it’s negative gossip. Spreading rumors, saying things to demean and hurt, or just outright lying. Unfortunately, this exists everywhere for most of us. If it’s not at work, it’s where we live. Or among certain circles of friends. Clubs or organizations we belong to.  Remember that you cannot control other people. What they say or what they do. You can only control your reaction and your response to things.  People often use gossip as a way to feel a sense of power or control. And that’s often because they feel powerless in their own lives.  Keep that in mind.

Astrologically speaking, Mercury goes retrograde from March 5-March 25. Give or take about a week on either end.  So communication is bound to be a bit of a mess.  Mixed messages, things not sent or received, and lots of misunderstanding.  It won’t last forever (thankfully).

The saying, I believe none of what I hear and half of what I see.  That may come into play a little this week as well.

Be open to what calls you…

Cosmic Correspondence – New Moon, Jupiter Shifts Signs…

There’s so much going on in November 2018.  I’ll briefly touch on some things that are important, but I want my focus to be on the New Moon and on Jupiter.

Uranus will retrograde back into Aries until March 2019.  Of course, it all depends on where Aries is in your chart. If you are a Libra sun for example, then Aries is in your seventh house of partnerships and relationships. So you’ve probably been going through some significant change.  And they were probably sudden and unexpected.  Uranus will go back into Taurus from March 2019 until 2025.  And then the focus will be on value and our relationship with money and luxury.

The moon nodes are also shifting from Leo/Aquarius to Cancer/Capricorn.  Moon nodes are location points on the moon – north and south. And they shift every 18 months. They’re about karma and karmic lessons and lessons from past lives.  If you’re a Cancer or Cap, the next 18 months may feel fated, or have some strong karmic lessons for you.

But what I want to talk about is the new moon in Scorpio on November 7, 2018. New moons are all about new beginnings. An ideal time to set forth an intention and to allow the universe to help manifest it into reality.  And Scorpio is the most intense sign of the zodiac. So if it’s something you feel very strongly about or if you want to begin something that is, well…intense, this is a great time to do it.

This new moon is also in a nice aspect/placement to Neptune and Pluto.  The Neptune aspect will make the new moon (and the few days before and after the lunation) have a magical, day dreamy quality to it.  Like a fantasy.  No complaints there.  Pluto is hanging around to help add a little stability to all of this.

And Jupiter is also shifting signs.  Jupiter has been in Scorpio for the past 13 months and he will move on to Sagittarius for the next 13 months.  Jupiter isn’t at ease in Scorpio.   My guess is Scorpio is just too intense for Jupiter.   But Jupiter rules Sagittarius. So it’s like visiting your aunt and uncle you see once every 5 years somewhere across the country and you can’t sit on the furniture or put the glass on the table unless there’s a coaster (because it will leave a mark….heaven help us all). And going home to your own parent’s house. Or, your own house. Where you can go in the fridge and eat whatever you want and put your feet on the furniture.

Jupiter is a giver. The benefic of the skies.  Where Jupiter is,  he brings gifts, luck, expansion and growth.  Sagittarius people should be loving the next 13 months.  Jupiter usually transits a sign a year or so after Saturn goes through.  So it’s like the universe tests you with Saturn and then blesses you for your putting up with it with Jupiter.  It all evens itself out.  The universe has an amazing way of keeping things in balance.

We’re in the middle of a Venus retrograde. She will go direct around November 16. But just as she moves forward, Mercury will start to retrograde.  The one thing these two retrogrades have in common (other than they are relatively quick transits, because they are inner planets) it’s that they can bring exes back into our lives. People returning.  So be mindful of that. I’m not saying it’s good or bad exactly…just be mindful of it.  And  if nothing else, just wait until these two retrogrades are over with. See if the ex (or person) remains. If they do, the relationship (or friendship or partnership) may have some longevity to it.

Having said that, we kick off 2019 with eclipses.  Starting a new year with things being eclipsed out.  It will be interesting to see how that year progresses. And if you think about it, maybe that’s not a horrible way to start a new year.  To start it getting rid of the things that no longer serve us or help us on our soul evolution.   Eclipses are pretty powerful, though.  Like a full moon (also an ideal time for endings and closure) on steroids.

Let’s just welcome in this New Moon in Scorpio and Jupiter going home for 13 months.  Those two things will benefit all of us in some way in our lives.  It’s time to be open to receive blessings and new beginnings…

Be open to what calls you…

Cosmic Correspondence – Full Moon in Gemini

The last full moon of 2017 is on December 3. A full moon in Gemini.  Full moons are a good time to release and let go.  They represent the culmination of a cycle.  This is a good time to let go of what you don’t want to carry into 2018.  This time of year is naturally a time of reflection – on what has been and on what we hope for and look forward to.  Use this energy to cast off what doesn’t serve you, so you can move into 2018 free of heaviness.

Mercury also goes retrograde today.  Mercury is Gemini’s ruling planet, so there’s a little conflict with this transit. Mercury retrograde always speaks to some conflict. Having said that, given that it is happening along with the last full moon of the year, it’s an even better time to “re” in your life. Review, revise, re-do (what you can, if you can).  This is also a particularly good time to do this because when Mercury goes direct, it will be when Saturn starts his transit through Capricorn.  A new Saturn cycle for all of us.

One simple way to “release” what you want to let go of is to flush it.  Write down on a piece (or several pieces) of toilet paper what you want to “flush away.”  Attitudes, people, things.  Be sure to also write down that you wish them well – you don’t want any bad energy flowing.  The idea is to release with love and in peace.  Examples can be an old relationship or person you need to be freed from, literal weigh you want to lose (5 pounds, etc), feelings of lack or fear or worries (worrying about money or not having enough)…flush it away.  Let it go. This is an easy release technique you can use at any time. For anything. But it’s particularly useful during full moons.

You have to release and let go of all that weight in order to freely move forward. If it drags you down, if it doesn’t serve your higher good, if it brings you worry and frustration and a lack of peace…let it go.

Be open to what calls you…
