Month: September 2017

Love ought to be going well.  If you’re committed, this is very likely to be a strong relationship that is mutually supportive and beneficial.  If you’re looking for someone, this is a much better-than-average time to meet people.  You should be in a self-confident phase, so get out and mingle.  You might be very pleasantly surprised by how things work out.  Money ought to be in a positive cycle.  Be sure to save some, even if it’s only a little, and even if you’ve been doing without for quite some time and feel a desperate need to treat yourself or the people that you care about. You may actually be getting ready to purchase a home or other big-ticket item. Of course, don’t borrow more than you can comfortably repay.

It has long been said that the full Moon has a powerful effect on our emotional state, creating tides of emotions within us.

When we experience such turbulent emotions, it is difficult to believe that we could ever feel harmony and peace within ourselves again.

Highly charged feelings cause havoc in our lives, and when The Moon appears in your readings, you can be sure there are issues in your life that are causing confusion and mixed emotions.

When this card appears, it is suggesting you take a step back and view your situation from a different perspective and with a calmer logic.

However, The Moon does represent powerful feelings and it isn’t always easy to gain clarity: we often can’t ‘see the wood for the trees’. The path to clarity and understanding is a challenging one, yet despite the emotional wrenches you may feel, it is right for you.

For example, if you are in a situation where you need to let go of a lover or partner for whatever reason, but emotionally cannot summon up the courage to do so, even though you know it’s the right thing to do, trust that the new path you seek is right for you.

Often when a decision is very difficult and causes strong emotional resistance within us, we allow our weaker nature to rule. However, in many of these situations it is a brave heart and clear mind that help us see through the fog of unruly emotion and step onto our true path.

The Moon not only represents illusion caused by powerful emotions, but also illusion or trickery created by other people’s lies or misleading behavior. Therefore, when The Moon appears in a reading, it’s a good idea to question your motives and those of people close to you, and it is best to refrain from making firm decisions until you know and feel a sense of certainty about your choices.

The wan light of The Moon does in some way shed light upon the right path for us, but because we cannot see clearly in dim light we doubt ourselves and hold back from taking the steps forward.

The Moon may suggest that your avoidance to take action or make a tough decision about a certain situation is simply due to fear of loss. Fear has much to do with The Moon, and courage is always needed to conquer fear, so take your time when The Moon appears in your readings and search for your inner courage. With patience you will find the clarity you seek.

This card shows a need for discipline, logic and order to make your finances work better for you.  What we pay attention to in our life grows.  Are you treating your money with respect? Do you know how much you have, where it is going and so forth?  Do not focus on lack now, because lack is then what grows.  Pay attention to what you have and be the best steward of it that you can be.

Be sure to take time out for yourself in order to honor your need for spiritual growth.  Do not focus totally on your left-brained aspects (logic, reason, order), but allow your right brain to have input also.  Logic can lead you to the spirit if you allow this and if you don’t get too stuck in your logical self.  Meditation (which requires great discipline) will come easier for you now if you make the time and effort.

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, and this is something this time period will make it control and focus brings.  Forge ahead and do what you know is best.  If you can master yourself then you ought to experience fewer problems mastering the world and all the things in it.  It looks as though a kind, older man may be part of your scenario.  This could be a work colleague, or your father or father-type figure.  Perhaps he will be interested in you romantically.  If so, don’t rule out, just because of his age.  You may feel that this man sort of “rules with an iron fist”  and that can be frustrating at times, but he is trying to help you to see that rules have their place and their reasons — and you will come out all the better for it.  Above all else, this man teaches — without even trying, perhaps — the benefits of structure and logic ruling over the emotions and lesser desires.

The Magician is about making higher, and better, use of all of one’s power: spiritual, emotional and otherwise.  This is another card that often signifies new beginnings and great expectations.  This is a very powerful, positive omen.  You are reminded that you have the power to make a difference in your life and in the greater world, if you simply make a point to try.  You may notice many synchronicities which point towards deep spiritual events taking place, regardless of importance of their superficial appearances.  You ought to be finding that you have the knowledge, strength and inspiration needed to meet your challenges.  In general, this is a very positive time for you.
