The Queen of Cups is one of my favorite Queens; it is perhaps a tossup between her and the Queen of Pentacles. She is the emmbodiment of all that is good, kind, compassionate, and right with the world. She possesses a basic calm between both inner and outer emotions which makes her the perfect ally in times of crisis, often counted among first responders and medical professionals. Whether this is you, or someone you know, and it can be male or female, there is a sense here today of taking care of the children, and being admired by them. The gentleness of this person shines forth a light to bless the little ones.

If you are seeking a new job, and have been wary as to what to do now that Mercury has entered shadow, as it prepares to retrograde on the 26th, never fear. Go ahead and live your…

Today marks the fifth appearance of this card for the calendar year. Its timing today is right on cue, indicating that, this year, yes, you are working on your goals and manifestations at long last. This is our “Garden of Life” card, as I like to refer to it, and it is the proverbial “You reap what you sow” vibe.

Today is a good day for assessment. Take stock of your projects which are currently in the works. This is not the time to begin anything new, but rather to invest your efforts in those things which you have already begun. We are on the last Mercury-free day, as tomorrow, Mercury will begin its shadow phase prior to turning retrograde in the sign of Leo later this month. You can continue to work on everything you have in the works, but some things may ultimately require a little extra TLC…

This is an interesting card, and there are numerous ways to view it. Let’s start with winning, shall we; today the mighty Sun conjuncts Jupiter, planet of expansion, bringing fort some very positive vibes for many. You could very well feel as though you are winning in some way with this feelgood energy all around you. Also today, Mars continues its retrograde, and most of you will spend your day under an Aries (ruled by Mars) Moon. I bring this up because some of you are really beginning to fester anger which is looking for an outlet, and Aries can be impulsive and combative. I am not certain if knowing this can help you, because at some point over the next couple of months you are bound to feel it.

There are different types of winning, and those who make it their priority, as in winning at all costs, can…

Welcome to July! Our Empress card, courtesy of Joanna Nelson Studio, reminds us today that Mother Nature rules the roost. Her presence is strong today, and no matter where you are, you will surely be talking about her in some fashion. If at all possible, do not forget to go outside and stay in touch with nature. It is always good to put your bare feet in the grass if you can, in order to remain truly grounded.

The Empress can be indicative of thingssuch as abundance, fertility, and even related females in your life, i.e., Mother, daughter, sister, and Aunts, but I am not feeling the abundance thing at this time. It is more likely you will hear of a birth which has taken place, and even the outside chance of the announcement of a pregnancy. The abundance will have to wait until another day. This is a new…

Here comes the Sun! After all of the weighty energy of the Full Moon in Capricorn conjunct Saturn in Capricorn, it is time to lighten up and go have some good, old-fashioned fun! When the Sun returns, it is indicative of good favor from the Universe. The Moon will be void-of-course ALL day before its entrance into the sign of Aquarius tomorrow, so less serious times are begging to be had. Unless it is a project already begun, today is a day best left for relaxing and enjoying life.

In the Northern Hemisphere, for many, today kicks off a very lengthy 4th of July holiday, as many will take advantage and celbrate through the 8th if they can. The weather promises to be hot with the Sun blazing, and Summer in full swing. Should you be elsewhere, and experiencing Winter, I do hope the Sun is shining its life-giving…

Today we have the privilege of seeing another card from the upcoming deck, Whispering Spirits, from Joanna Nelson Studio. This 7 of Cups reminds me of tomorrow’s Full Moon in Capricorn and the Moon card itself. In some ways, this card is somewhat a lower octave of the Moon card, whereas it represents confusion and fears, the 7 of Cups can represent confusion, disillusionment and choices.

Things right now may not appear as they truly are. There may be smokescreens everywhere designed to prevent you from getting to the truth. I want to say proceed with caution, as there may be those who are trying to pull the wool over your eyes. The 7 of Cups is a good indicator that there are phonies, those who wear masks, and do not reveal their true selves. This can apply on so many levels. Since we are entering a time which places…

Please take note that today, Mars, our action and energy planet begins its retrograde through August 27. Mars retrograde occurs less frequently than any other planet, so there is good reason to sit up and take notice. Today, our King of Wands is here to serve as a reminder to maintain that passion and drive to achieve your vision for change. Now is a good time to stand up for yourself and take charge of your life in some area.

The King of Wands can be you, male or female, or anyone else for that matter. It can pertain to a particular person, or even a state of being. This guy is the “Boss Man”, a leader among men, who stands up and takes charge, and you are not likely to find him down in the trenches with everyone else. He is more of an overseer, due to his entrepreneurial…

With Neptune newly retrograde, it is highly possible for dreams to be off the charts. It can be very easy to want to escape into that dream world, having the kind of vibe that says…”I don’t want to be here; I just want to be there”. In due time you will be arriving there, if the Universe so intends. The 8 of Cups has a feel of moving on associated with it, and your current desire to be somewhere else may seem overwhelming at the moment.

Now is not the time, unfortunately, but the actions you take now in your waking hours can aid you in making the choices to find your way to that new destination. You will be much closer by the end of August, so, for the moment, pay close attention to what your dreams are telling you, for they contain some shreds of truth which will…

Triumphant! This is the word which immediately sprung out to me when I saw this was the Card of the Day. Go ahead, seize your power today; you more than have this! Think of the Ace of Swords as your helper to clear your path of obstacles and lead you to victory. There is definitely a change here which feels good, to say the least.

Very often, we can see this card as some form of Divine Intervention, where the Universe says to you, “Here you go!”, and suddenly you have what you need. In this instance, you have the support of truth, clarity, justice, victory, and above all, finally feeling triumphant over something which perhaps you were not certain you could overcome.

See you here tomorrow!

This Queen is one of my favorite cards in the entire Tarot. She is the embodiment of that nurturing Mom who makes sure, no matter what, that the needs of her loved ones are met. It being Sunday, and all, it is a perfect time to reach out to Mom, if you are so blessed. This can also be you, whether you are male, or female, being that gentle spirit who looks after the wellbeing of others.

The Queen of Pentacles is a very grounded individual, concerning herself with the physical necessities of life, and therein lies her power and her security. She can be the single Mom, raising her children all alone, working three jobs just to get by, or sadly, perhaps even the homeless Mom, who above all else, ensures that those under her care have what they need. She does not need to be a woman of…

This is the Queen of Cups from a deck-in-progress by Joanna Nelson Studio; it is due out later this year. When we see the Queen of Cups, she is such a beacon of light for all, a buoy of calm in any storm, and she represents the kindness and compassion which all should have, but not everyone does. Things I was saying yesterday with regard to the Grand Water Trine with Jupiter in Scorpio, Venus in Cancer, and Neptune in Pisces, still apply today.

This Queen of Cups could be you today, whether you are rescuing a less-fortunate creature in need of human help, or stepping up to offer a kind gesture to someone who needs it. Remember, this Queen can be you, or someone around you, that person upon whom you can count in times of crisis, the “helpers”, if you will, who always rush in to…

Today we have another card from a deck-in-progress, tentatively titled ‘Whispering Spirits’, by Joanna Nelson Studio. You can follow Joanna and watch her create this deck which will be available later this year. Our Lovers card is making a very timely appearance today, and, yes, I am actually going to bring up the word “love” itself. For today, and actually in play from the 28th through the 31st, we have a rare occurrence in the Universe which is known as a Grand Water Trine. This is a positive and beautiful thing. Jupiter is in Scorpio (water), Venus is in Cancer (water), and Neptune is in Pisces (water). When we see this type of trine, emotion ispart of the equation, yes, but also intuition is running at peak levels.

It is important to pay attention to one’s intuition, especially when it comes to relationships. With Venus (relationships/love), being a…

Full Moon blessings to all! Today is the annual Full Moon in Sagittarius, and it is a very special Full Moon, one where you can begin the work on one of those important wishes which you hold so dear. The Moon card, which is so awesome to see today, is just like the Full Moon itself, asking you to let go of your fears in order to move forward on your path. The light of the Moon is dim, thereby making it difficult to see exactly where you are going. But, by releasing those fears, you open yourself up to the guidance of the Universe, and know that, when the timing is right, you willemerge in a place which is exactly where you are intended to be.

Today’s Moon card is from a deck-in-progress by Joanna Nelson Studio, tentatively titled ‘Whispering Spirits’. If you love Joanna’s work (she’s…

Well, just look at you! Happy Memorial Day to all those who celebrate, and a shoutout to all those who made this holiday possible through their sacrifices for our freedom. The message of the 9 of Pentacles is very strong today, and as you look around at all of your accomplishments and accoutrements, you can be proud of the person you are becoming. You have come very far, and your identity has indeed grown; very often we question who it is we will be when we grow up, but, truthfully that person is a lifelong quest. We never stop growing.

The 9 of Pentacles is all about you, your independence and your ability to stand on your own two feet. This does not mean you are meant to be alone, rather it means you are a stronger individual who can maintain their identity when in a relationship and who does…

Everywhere you look at this time of year, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, there is always a party happening somewhere. There is no shortage of weddings, graduations, retirements, anniversaries, and birthdays to be celebrated. The 4 of Wands can often represent the sheer joy of attending such a special occasion. Not to mention, that here in the United States, this weekend is an extended one, for the celebration of Memorial Day, considered to be the unofficial start to the Summer season.

Currently, Mars is traveling in the sign of Aquarius for an extended stay. This is 11thhouse energy, with an emphasis toward groups, and it is very often in your best interest to be a part of one where you can make positive connections to assist you on your journey. Remember, your vibe attracts your tribe.

See you here tomorrow!

What a terrific card to kick off a new cycle! For the next four weeks the Sun will be in Gemini, and I have been talking about Gemini season for a while now. Expect some of those doors to begin opening, not all at once, but more like one at a time. You can do and accomplish so much over the coming month, and you may even find yourself amazed at the things with which you finally begin making headway.

The Circle of Life is part of this card, and itwill be prominent now, as we see new babies arriving, after the departure of someone held dear. The World card is much like a relay race, and in some ways, when you successfully approach the Finish Line of a part of your journey, you find yourself at a Starting Line for the next phase. Expect new opportunities to become…

I believe the anticipated number of royal-wedding watchers is over three billion people; whatever it is, it is an insane amount of people. So, today, whether you are watching Prince Harry marry his American starlet, or not, the chances of you not knowing about these nuptials is pretty nonexistent unless you have been living under a rock.

By now, you may be asking what this has to do with the card of the day. The 10 of Cups is the wedding card, that happy happy, joy joy, and all of the bliss which comes with emotional fulfillment. Perhaps you are even attending a wedding this weekend yourself, or, at the very least, spending some quality time around the home and family. The cards never cease to amaze me, so when I happened upon this today, my first reaction was the inability one will have to escape all of the coverage…

You’ve got the power! Yes, indeed you can make the magic happen, but it doesn’t likely come through slight-of-hand. Utilizing all of your skills and the resources which are available to you can help you pull off a good ending to your week. The Magician has the tools to create anything; it may feel like a bit of a juggling act, but you can do this.

Your creativity is peaking today, and you are in a position to accomplish something important. What matters here is knowing what it is that you should be creating. It helps to have one’s priorities straight to really see your magic working. Whatever it is you choose to manifest now may not have seemed totally possible before, but, today, you have everything you need to do whatever it is you desire. You are the creator.

See you here tomorrow!

It is time to leave something be for a while, perhaps not permanently, but at least for the interim, because it appears you have better things which you need to be doing. This is a card of moving on and abandoning something, likely due to disappointment because it just wasn’t turning out the way you planned. At one time it appears to have been a good thing, but lately there may simply be too much nonsense attached and this does not suit you.

Right now, you have only a few short weeks to really make things happen before the big slowdown of 2018 begins, so turning your back on situations, people and projects, which are not currently worth your effort, can free you up to explore new possibilities. It could be at a later date that you choose to revisit this topic, but, for now, it is in your best…

Holy guacamole, Batman! Can you say Uranus? Uranus is now officially in the sign of Taurus, and this planetary shift brings with it sudden, shocking, even earth-shattering events. If you thought you knew how things were going to go down, chances are you will be very surprised. The Tower card signifies exactly the type of sudden, drastic change which Uranus can bring. We are to believe that Uranus has a plan, and that by the time it moves into Gemini in 2026, it will have totally rearranged an area of your life, not once, but multiple times, until you are where it is you truly belong with a particular facet of your journey.

Among the things we can expect from the Tower card are the possibility of catasrophic weather and earthly uproars, which tend to occur when Uranus shifts signs. However, this time we are dealing with Taurus, a…

New Moon blessings to all! Welcome to the biggest day of the year! If you have already listened to the video below which is over on YouTube, then you are aware what a big deal we have going on today. Not only is today the New Moon in Taurus, but, after spending seven years in Aries, Uranus, planet of shock and surprise, moves into Taurus only a few short hours after the New Moon takes place. Taurus is a bit like an immovable object which is hard to budge, similar to our Devil card with his subjects being held captive in chains. Uranus plans to shake things up in a bigway, and if you are aware of how your life was affected over the last seven years while in Aries, then expect to be released from those shackles.

The Devil card covers situations which we think we can not…
