The King of Cups is my absolute favorite. He is a kind and gentle soul, generous and compassionate toward all living beings. It is possible he could cross your path today, or that this is even you, whether you are male or female. This Cool-as-a-Cucumber guy never sweats it; he keeps his emotions checked and is the one running toward harms way in times of crisis.

I do feel the need to mention that we are so close to the Full Moon at 0° Virgo, that this could bring up the exact opposite effect with some people. It is entirely possible to encounter someone who can not contain their emotions as this Full Moon approaches. Remember it is only a passing phase, so do not allow things to get out of hand.

In life, there will always be disappointment and loss, but to focus on that, or to throw oneself a pity party, is not in your highest and best interest. Remember, what is done is merely water under the bridge.

The 5 of Cups is a Card of focus, and urging you to embrace the positives which remain in your life. They are meant to be nurtured so as to create new growth. We are post-Valentine’s Day, and not all relationships may have survived, while others may be beating themselves up over the lack of a love life. Time is the most important thing you’ve been given; let it all go and make good use of yours by cultivating your remaining Cups, however they may be filled.

To reconnect…

Think back to life during the second half of April last year.  Did you enter some sort phase which you have been trying to bring to a conclusion?  I very often view the Hermit card as the proverbial light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel, and sometimes as the tunnel itself with the dim light of the lantern to show us the way.  Yesterday I spoke of not being able to see everything, and today’s card does not provide clarity either, but it does show that the proper guidance is available to traverse this portion of your path.

Remember, no matter where you are on your journey, you will always need guidance of some form, but, you will also have the experiences which make you qualified to give guidance to others as well.  Think of it a spiritual paying-it-forward, and know that you can give as well as receive.  With this Hermit card today, it is…

Under today’s Taurus Moon, do you know how it affects you and how you will react? Our Knight of Pentacles, who very much embodies Taurus energy, is reliable, slow-moving (you see him sitting on the snail), and very down-to-earth. If used properly on this Monday, you can work in a thorough, meticulous manner, knowing that doing the job right the first time, and with proper care, avoids the necessity to redo things down the line.

Pretty much how this card translates for you today is dependent upon the attitude you wake up with on Monday morning. Taurus can be a hard worker with a fabulous reputation, or not. It is also possible under this Moon to be a bit of a slacker, which may not go over well with coworkers if they feel you are not pulling your weight. For the most part, I feel you can put this card…

‘We Shall Never Pass this Way Again’ was a popular hit from the duo, Seals & Croft, back in 1973. This phrase very much typifies the use of our Death card today. It is not to be feared, rather it should be embraced. Currently, we are at the tail-end of two very important transits. Chiron in Pisces and Uranus in Aries, are both hanging out at 29°. This is known as the anaretic degree, and it brings us to the end of the cycle. What makes these two transits stand out more than anything else at this degree right now, is the fact that it will be decades before they make their way back around the zodiac to these spots once again. Chiron will move back into Aries on February 18, and Uranus will move back into Taurus on March 6. This marks the end of two key cycles, and…

As the Aries Moon continues today, Mars will square the North Node in Cancer, and Mercury will sextile Uranus. You are ready for your destiny, and not willing to budge or give an inch. You have come too far to back down now. This is our Tom Petty card, urging you to stand your ground and not back down.

It does not matter what others think at this point, this is all about you. In the card depiction, you see what looks like an angry mob. They are either with you, or they are against you, but do not change your stance.

See you here tomorrow!

And away we go! Today the Moon enters fiery Aries, the leader of the pack, and it is time to jump back into the fray and get things moving. It is a busy day, with the hustle and bustle associated with communication and travel.

If you felt like a slug all week, or simply not productive enough, then today should help you make some viable progress. Delays which may have been holding you up from taking appropriate actions can begin to dissipate today, as the pace around you quickens. Take note of the energy you feel today under the Aries Moon and put it to good use.

Let the good luck flow with today’s sextile between the Sun in Aquarius and Jupiter in Sagittarius. Be mindful of what you consider to be good fortune, and you will always be blessed.

With the 6 of Pentacles, we very often speak of resources, such as money and time, with time being the more important of the two. It is possible today to spread yourself a little too thin, simply because you do not feel you are keeping up with your projects. Remember, this too shall change, so devote the necessary attention to each to keep things flowing, until the moon hits fiery Aries tomorrow and gets things moving again.

New Moon blessings, everyone!  Today is the New Moon in Aquarius at 15°. The 7 of Pentacles from the Sawyer’s Path Tarot is such an appropriate card for today.  At each New Moon you sow the seeds of your intentions, sending them out to the Universe, for rewards to come at a later date.  This is the Garden of Life card, so do give careful consideration to the seeds you wish to plant now; remember, you reap what you sow.

Any good farmer knows a couple of important points.  The first is not to expect all of the various crops to be harvested at the same time; surely something would suffer that way.  In other words, cultivate a variety of different projects in your life so as to bring them to fruition at appropriate intervals.  The second is to not overload; seeds crowded together produce smaller vegetables, so choosing your…

Excitement is the word of the day as Venus trines Uranus. If you were expecting a typical Saturday, then expect the unexpected. Our Page of Wands shows exciting changes are indeed possible. And, of course, with Uranus in the mix, you can never be quite certain what will happen.

The Page is a Messenger, signifying inspiration and new beginnings. It is true that the changes you wish may not be here just yet, but it is inevitable that they will occur. Our dancing goddess depicted here may have a good idea. Go out, socialize, and dance the night away. You should like today, and, if single and mingling, Venus may just send a surprise your way.

See you here tomorrow!

Welcome to February! Today it is time to pick up the reins of your life, jump in the driver seat, and get this show on the road. It does not matter that it is Friday, you can resume control of something today, and begin to feel as though you are putting life back on track.

I have been speaking of a square between Mars (action) and Pluto (transformation), and today you may feel compelled to take charge. However, keep it to your own self and situations, for messing with the higher-ups simply will not work today. Victory in an important area is totally possible now, and you should become clearer, as in black and white, with no gray areas. Good moves on your part today can be a much-needed confidence builder, pushing you toward the changes necessary to have the life you desire.

See you here tomorrow!

Our curious Page of Swords possesses the type of restless mental energy that reminds us of Mercury, the planet of thinking and communication, which, tomorrow, will be making several aspects. We always seem to see energy creeping in the day before, and today is no exception, especially with a square forming between Mars and Pluto. Can you say power plays?

I believe if you stick to the personal challenges before you today, pertaining to your life and your work, then you will navigate all of this quite fine. The Page of Swords can be a bit impulsive, scattered and easily distracted, so if you want to achieve success with a project today, you may need to shut out the outside world. Seems like just the other day I was saying don’t poke the bear. With the Mars/Pluto square tomorrow, and the New Moon in Aquarius only a few days a…

Your spiritual beliefs are highlighted today, not only by the Hierophant card itself, but thanks to the Sagittarius Moon, Jupiter in Sagittarius, and a sextile building toward tomorrow between Saturn and Neptune.  Saturn demands hard work and Neptune is all about your hopes and dreams, and the optimism provided to you today should help carry you far in your quest for your true desires.

And what of your beliefs?  Sagittarius allows you to see the bigger picture, perhaps expand on your spiritual horizons.  This card is very much about those spiritual beliefs, and it is even possible under the Aquarian influence of the Sun and Mercury, that you are considering new affiliations which resonate deeply with your soul.

In the more worldly scope of things, this card represents teaching and learning, very much a Sagittarian thing, and, it could be as simple as hearing of massive school closings in the…

As the Scorpio Moon continues today, the Queen of Cups shows up to represent this highly-intuitive water sign. She is the Queen of Cool, and Scorpio is known for being cool-as-a-cucumber. This is a great energy and card for attending an interview for a coveted position for a new job. You could really nail the interview today. Remember, never let them see you sweat. Rely on your intuition, which will be stronger than usual, to help you navigate this Monday, as you begin your work week, striving for a drama-free environment.

The Queen of Cups is known for her kindness and generosity, and her compassion toward others. If this is not you, you will witness her caretaker, charitable side today in your midst. Under the Scorpio Moon, it is also possible to see the flipside of this Queen emerge, underscoring yesterday’s semi-sextile between Venus and Pluto, bringing out the more…

I always try to stick with the most common of celestial happenings, but to explain our card today, I need to go one step further…Venus semi-sextile Pluto. It may become noticeable today that someone is more demanding of your attention, perhaps trying to keep you all to themselves.

Our 4 of Pentacles is a clingy little fellow, and this could come across as simple as your children asking that you look up from your phone and notice them, to a possessive lover who wants you to look in no direction but theirs. Some may view this as jealousy, but I see it more as an inability to share. This type of behavior may still be witnessed tomorrow as well when the Moon glides into possessive Scorpio. Just be sure that anything, or anyone, to which /whom you may be clinging, is worth keeping.

See you here tomorrow!

I am not a believer of coincidence.  The last time we saw this card was July 13, the day after the Cancer Solar Eclipse, and here we are again, very much in Eclipse energy following the Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo on the 21st.  Yesterday, we reached a turning point, and one way or the other, things are about to become interesting.  For a very long time, I have been referring to the battle between good and evil, and said that good would win, and I am certain many days you have doubted this.

The Tower signifies drastic change, often instantaneously, with the tearing down of old structure in order to erect new ones.  Here, this image from the Major Barkana, a deck-in-progress, we can see the dog trying to build a wall, but ultimately he fails, and his hopes come crashing down around him.  Unlike our unfortunate pooch here…

The cards certainly have a theme going on this week – planning, delays in plans, and planning ahead for the future. It would appear that even if things did not go according to plan at the beginning of the week, that you know the future is still on the horizon. So, when you know the changes are coming, what do you do? You prepare. I think that any amount of preparedness is a good thing, as long as you realize the Universe is still going to have its way.

Perhaps you are trying to put all of your ducks in a row, knowing that change is indeed imminent. Today is about what you do in anticipation of these changes. There is no doubt in my mind that you know they are on the way, and a little foresight on your part can definitely aid you further down the line. That…

For many of you, at least here in the United States, today may be your Monday this week. It is a good day to assemble the troops and put together a game plan. Perhaps you attend a meeting to strategize your actions for the coming weeks. It is also possible that this is a more personal matter, requiring you to find the right people to help you get the job done. As far as aspects and transits go, the skies have been very busy. Today there is a glorious conjunction between Venus (love, money, beauty) and Jupiter (good fortune, expansion, the big picture). It is in your best interest to know where this energy is beneficial to you, with both currently in Sagittarius.

The time is here to get it together, what ever IT is. It is also important to remember that no plan is perfect and may need some…

Again, Full Moon blessings, everyone! We are in the heart of the Leo Eclipse, and it is a Total Lunar Eclipse at that. As previously stated, there is so much happening right now, that an Eclipse of this magnitude, being a Supermoon and at 0, one can not possibly have a clear view to know which way the wind is blowing. The 7 of Cups today shows us just how confounded we may all be by the “What should I do?”s.

It is possible for it all to feel a tad bit overwhelming at the moment, for while the 7 of Cups can represent wishful thinking and daydreaming, it is currently saying that something is absolutely too much. More than likely you find yourself faced with options, but no knowledge of the consequences which could be related to your choices. Choice does not always come easy during Eclipse season, and…

Here we are more than halfway between eclipses, and the cards in recent days have been teasing the changes to come. What will it take to recover in your life? What will it take to overcome stress? While things can often appear to be down and out when this card appears, our bright little spirit from Joanna Nelson will have none of that. Help of some sort is always available, it is important to reach out for it.

After today, you will begin to notice the shifts available to you in a very big way. Pick your head up, look around, and do not fear reaching out, for just as the 10 of Wands never show anyone helping, there is support available to you here, with the 10 of Swords, and alternative methods for overcoming stressful situations. The dawn of a new day offers another opportunity to pick oneself up…

The beginning…of The End. You are entering a transitional phase which allows you to close a very heavy door. You will not be closing it today, but things are beginning to get real, and chances are, you know soon they will be very different. This is not a card to be feared, although the path ahead may be a bit chaotic and less than smooth. Any transformation which is taking your life to a better space in the long run is certainly worth the expense of a slightly bumpy ride.

This particular part of your journey is allowing you to bring to closure events which have been occurring since 2011. It is time, for when you finish with this part, the biggest transition of your life awaits, as new doors will begin to open for you soon. You will be reborn, rise up better and stronger, with a new purpose…

The. Fork. In. The. Road. Which way should you go? It has been several months since we have seen this card, and, while I am not a betting woman, I am willing to bet that, back on October 28 you thought you had something figured out and were headed in the right direction. Chances are, between the Venus and Mercury retrogrades, life’s sound effects sounded more like the beep-beep, beep-beep of a large truck moving in reverse. However, life is wanting to move forward again, now that there are no retrogrades in sight and the road ahead is wide open. Which begs the question – Which road do you take?

I always say that unless there is a dire emergency, choose the road which benefits you over the long-haul, rather than choosing short-term gratification. You have the ability now, at this crossroads, to truly begin making progress. I do not…

Here it is again! The 8 of Swords is notorious for showing up more frequently than any other card here on the blog. However, this time around, how you handle it appears to be changing. Yesterday, I mentioned that the Sun would conjunct Pluto today and that personal transformation is imminent. Something has left you feeling powerless and trapped for far too long, and the urge to break free is likely overwhelming.

One of the things which I always say with this card is “The only thing that can stop you is you”. Truly, this transformation which is needed at this time is not as much about transforming your outer world as it is your headspace. Your mindset is particularly important now, and it is time to step out of the box in which you have been living. There exists solutions and answers to your problems, you merely need to…

It never ceases to amaze me how the cards line up with the skies. We are approaching an aspect, occurring tomorrow, where the Sun will conjunct Pluto. The Sun is a positive life force, and Pluto is all about transformation. And, today’s card is all about you.

The energies are perfect to break some firmly-rooted habits, for very often you may be prone to self-sabotage. It can be as simple as eating the chocolate cake, or a little more complicated, where you are in the habit of repeating certain ways of doing, or not doing things, thus preventing yourself from making the progress you desire. You have free will to choose to do differently and free yourself from the shackles of your mind. Avoid the temptation.

See you here tomorrow!

January Love and…

What a great time to see this card! You should have a pretty good idea by today all of the things which you need to undertake in order to reap your rewards. Chances are there are multiple endeavors on your part to manifest some truly important changes in your life. Today is a good opportunity to assess all of the various things which need your attention, to provide attention where necessary, and to cultivate your options for the long term in order to produce the best possible results.

To me, this is the Garden of Life card; you reap what you sow. What seeds are you planting in 2019? This is a great year for a bumper crop, so truly putting effort into your projects now, and in the coming weeks can have tremendous payoffs later. Like any good farmer, you need to tend to the crop which comprises your…

Oh, my, my! If you have been following me for a little while, then you may already be gasping at the sight of this Queen. Keep in mind her image is a pleasant, gentle one. Two days ago, we experienced a New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Capricorn, and the Queen of Swords loves hanging out with us around New Moons. There is much to be said about her appearance today.

First let us begin with the obvious…the New Moon. Bear in mind that this one was an eclipse, so events surrounding it can be of a permanent nature. With that being said, we know that the Queen of Swords can be that individual who lashes out at another, regardless of consequences; she can be mean, critical, bullying, or merely brutally honest. Her wicked tongue has a reputation which precedes her. This person can be in your midst, and not…

Happy New Year, everyone! Welcome to 2019! This promises to be, dare I say, an easier year. For the second day in a row, our Card of the Day is the Temperance card, very befitting indeed. Some of what we discussed does still apply today, after all, the day begins at midnight as we ring in the New Year with celebrations which, dependent upon where you are may continue for hours.

Temperance is all about balance, patience, and moderation, very appropriate for a holiday with such a party atmosphere. Should you choose to go the more social route, and travel is a part of the plan, then do assign, or be, a designated driver, schedule an Uber, call a cab, but, by all means, be safe. We want you here with us to enjoy what 2019 has to offer. Resolutions for the New Year are typically on the minds of…

It is possible to encounter a speed bump, a glitch, or the tiniest of hiccups today. Do not let any of these slow you down. You are still working on the process of moving forward, and the Universe may just be trying to get you to take notice of a different approach. A change in perspective does us all good from time to time. The Moon is in Libra, so the only real setback is likely to be indecisiveness with you trying to decide if you should or shouldn’t do something. Do not worry if you can not make up your mind today. The Moon will move on into Scorpio tomorrow and you will be able to choose one way or the other.

This time of year, everywhere you turn, there are reminders of events which occurred over the past year. Some may call it a year-end review, highlighting the…

All aboard! Once again it is time to set sail as we leave behind 2018, and set forth on the shores of 2019. The waters are smoother up ahead, but, right now you are in a transitional phase, which at times can even feel a bit depressing, as you navigate the ripples which greet you on your journey each day. Never fear, the Universe is guiding you; safe passage is guaranteed, and before you know it, your destination will be in sight.

The 6 of Swords is a card which requires tremendous trust on your part; you are not 100% in charge here. This is more about where you are headed over the next 6-7 weeks, rather than being just for today. Keep Valentine Day in sight, and see where your boat has come ashore by then. After all, we are in eclipse season, and all of those ripples in…

If you are one of the millions of parents around the world who has taken this week off to spend time with their children over the holidays, then this may be a familiar scene to you today.  Eventually, the roughhousing begins, the holiday cheer subsides, and whether it be through boredom, or sibling rivalry, some form of clash ensues.  Unless of course everyone received light sabers as a gift and they are all just practicing to be extras in the next Star Wars movie.

The 5 of Wands is a card of conflict, competition, and tension, but it is not an indicator of the way things will be.  You as an individual can always strive to do your best to bring everyone together on the same page, put down conflicts, and work toward building rather than tearing down.  When it comes to competition, remember you are in competition with no…

The party is over!  Depending upon where you live, at some point in your day, the Moon which has been partying over the holiday in festive Leo, will move on into more serious and grounded Virgo.  Once this switch occurs, it is more likely you will feel like it is time to clean up, especially if your home was a happening place over the last couple of days.  The Leo Moon was great for celebrating, but now it is time to perhaps resume a somewhat more responsible routine.

The Knight of Pentacles is a very practical and meticulous fellow, very suited to this Virgo Moon.  He will insist on taking the time to do the job right; he stakes his reputation on it.  This is not a day for rushing into things; that will happen soon enough as we enter the New Year.  For now, regroup and organize your surroundings…

Change is in the air! Divine Inspiration abounds! Truth be told, the timing for all of this feels to be a bit off, poor timing if you will. Not much chance of creating those changes this week. But, that does not mean you still can’t be inspired. Write those great ideas down and keep them handy for the coming days.

It is more likely that you will feel delays for your changes. There is not much you can do about the holidays and all of the associated distractions. However, this does not mean you should not try, if indeed there is a possibility of trying. Let your passion burn bright now; do not worry, that flame will not go out before you have a chance to get things underway.

See you here tomorrow!

Full Moon blessings, everyone! Today is our annual Full Moon in Cancer at 0°. You may remember me saying in November that the North and South Nodes are now in Cancer/Capricorn, respectively, therefore these are the signs where we will see Eclipses occur over the next eighteen months. We do now have an Eclipse season underway, at this Full Moon in Cancer, but this Full Moon is not an Eclipse. Two weeks from now there will be a Partial Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on January 5. Take note, the Moon is at home today. Over the next eighteen months, there will be a few twists and turns, putting you in alignment with a special kind of happiness.

As for our 9 of Cups, it is considered the wish card of the Tarot. Go ahead and make a wish, if you like. Today, though, it is more important to have an…

‘Tis the season! This makes twice in one week we have seen a card of celebration. It stands to reason, with so many already on extended holiday, and the many types of get togethers taking place. This goes beyond actual parties. Yesterday was said to be the biggest travel day of the season, giving way to hanging with your tribe today, and in the days to come.

If you are sitting there saying that you have no one with whom to celebrate, you are not alone. However, today, we celebrate the glorious entrance of the Sun into Capricorn at the time of the Winter/Summer Solstice. Who doesn’t celebrate the Solstice? Here in the Northern Hemisphere, this is the shortest day of the year, meaning the least daylight, followed by the longest night. For me, this is one of my favorite days, because I know over the next six months that…
