The Emperor shows us that domination of the mind over the heart is sometimes not wanted, but in some cases is it necessary and even welcomed, and that this is part of what we must think about when he appears.  When hard choices must be made, it’s important to maintain your concentration and focus; this is something this time period will make easier for you to do.  Enjoy the assertiveness and confidence:  it that this self-control and focus bring.  Forge ahead and do what you know is best.  If you can master yourself, then you ought to have little problem mastering the world and all the things in it.

This is a very spiritual card, often with sexual overtones.   It can mean that you are in a phase where you are going to be much more physically attractive to others.  The High Priestess is tied to the Moon, to femininity and to inspiration.  This is a time to rely on your intuition and your inner knowledge, rather than your conscious mind or intellect.  Pay attention to your dreams.  Synchronicities are likely now.  When the High Priestess appears, she also often represents a woman that he will want badly, but whom he may not be able to get.  Messages can come to you from all sorts of places.   Make a point to look at spirituality in ways that you have not done before.  Talk to people whose experiences and beliefs are different than your own.  Move out of your comfort zone.  You will be the richer for it.

Work ought to be going well.  If you’re looking for work, now that you have the wherewithal and the skillset to find it.  If you’re already employed, and there is room for upward mobility, don’t hesitate to negotiate for what you’re worth.  You might be surprised at the positive reception that you get.  If there’s not room for a raise or promotion where you are now, give serious thought to finding something where there is this possibility, or consider what it would take for you to strike out on your own business-wise.  You may have more options than you typically think possible.

Strength has rectified itself from a couple of days back, when it was reversed.  This is likely to be a very spiritual time for you, even if you don’t have anything close to a religious belief.  To be truly strong, you must pay attention to and develop each leg of the triad we are made from:  body, mind and spirit.  Be sure you are spending time on all three.  That’s hardest to do when things are difficult.  If you are at a low point today, know that things are very likely to be looking up soon.  This card is a reminder that you are stronger than you think.

The Chariot indicates a lot of energy, but not free-for-all energy.  It’s directed, controlled and has a goal in mind.  Today, you are likely to be fairly clear on what your hopes and dreams involve and what you are willing to do to get there.  The Chariot is about determination and ambition, getting things done and testing and proving what you’ve got.  Move forward with whatever you have in mind (and in your heart) and give it your best shot.  Remember, though, that you’ll need to use both your intellect and your heart in order to be truly successful.
