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…

Are you tired of adulting yet?  Perhaps building a blanket fort in your family room is sounding more and more like a good idea.  Putting a layer of protection between you and the outside world may be just what the doctor ordered. Try not to be totally obvious about it; perhaps you could claim to be doing it for the children.

Today’s 4 of Pentacles can actually manifest itself in many ways, some of which may include not spending your money all too frivolously during this holiday season.  Venus retrograde is totally done, but you do still have a few days left before Mercury leaves shadow.  Those new tech purchases may be better left for the post-holiday sales.

The chances of encountering an Ebenezer Scrooge type in your midst is entirely possible; let us hope this is not you.  The 4 of Pentacles is a miserly card, and grinch-like people…

Oh, how I have come to love the Pages! The Page of Swords is a restless sort, itching to go, go, go. They are all four of them Messengers, this one dealing very much with thoughts and curiosity. Following yesterday’s Ace of Swords, you may find yourself ready to strike, flooded with new ideas. When thoughts are racing, remember it is always best to keep a pen and paper handy. You do not want to forget any!

I find that the normal caution I would bring to this card does not feel to apply. It may do you good to break out of any rut you may have been in, throwing caution to the wind, and acting in an impetuous manner. Strike while the iron is hot, and just go for it!

See you here tomorrow!

Truth! Justice! Clarity! Breakthroughs! Seizing your power! Lately, the cards have been showing you striving to regain your power, and indeed you are, if only, at times, in increments. Today proves to feel a bit more monumental, perhaps showing you that you can come back stronger and better than before, rising to the challenge of creating a better life.

The Universe is offering you an opportunity today; seize it. After treading the waters of so many retrogrades since April, you are gearing up to take on 2019 with renewed vigor and cut through all the red tape. More than anything, this feels like a change in mental attitude, which has been greatly needed by so many of you in recent weeks. Perhaps you found Mercury retrograde to be more than challenging, but now that it is basically over, leaving only post-shadow to deal with through December 24, you are experiencing…

‘Tis the season of giving, and no one does it better than the King of Cups. His kindness, compassion, and generosity are among his remarkable qualities, endearing him to many. This is a great day to do a kind deed for another, be it as simple as allowing someone to pull out in front of you in traffic. Remember, kindness is contagious; the more you practice it, it rubs off on others.

The King of Cups is among the most balanced of all Tarot characters. We see him in the news every day. The firemen, police, rescue personnel, all who rush in to help, as others flee the scene. He embodies the spirit of emotional balance, making him the perfect person for the job. True heroes possess the qualities of the King of Cups, as they maintain the composure necessary in times of crisis. Let us not forget these heroes…

Abundance comes in many forms. With the Ace of Pentacles, we very often tend to think in terms of finances, but it does not necessarily need to be so. However, the outstretched hand of the Universe does indeed have something awesome in store for you today. It may not be something toward which you had been working, and may, in fact, come as more of a surprise, as Mercury and Uranus get in on the act today.

In the financial realm, opportunities can be made available to you with regard to your career, i.e., new job prospect, raise, promotion, perhaps a substantial year-end bonus if you have a really exceptional employer. Learn to recognize the gifts which the Universe has to offer, for over the coming year, all the way through December 2, 2019, Jupiter is touring home sign of Sagittarius, making the possibilities, at times, over the top. It…

First let me say Happy Mercury Direct Day! And also New Moon blessings to everyone, even though the New Moon at 15° Sagittarius will be today or tomorrow, dependent upon your time zone.  As much as you may be raring for that moment to go forward, you may wish to put more than a moment between yourself and Mercury retrograde, but do put forth those New Moon intentions. Make them count.

Known for her sense of practicality, the Queen of Pentacles is one who always remains very down-to-earth, very grounded, if you will.  Finding that grounded space may be easier said than done today, for not only do you have the fog associated with Mercury Direct, there is a conjunction building between Mars and Neptune, both of which are currently in dreamy Pisces.  Your actions may become more idealistic and romanticized as you view the world through rose-colored glasses.  Use your…

To conform or not to conform. You may find yourself questioning the status quo today, whether it be in regard to your spiritual beliefs, or the rules by which we are all governed. Church and state have both occupied the news as of late and you can expect more of the same.

Today, Venus in Libra at 29° will square retrograde Uranus at 29° Aries. You are likely to be feeling this today in the areas of love or money, but with Uranus in the mix things are often out of left field. Relationship drama is possible, or even an impromptu date with an Internet stranger. Sudden changes in finances can occur. But insofar as the Hierophant is concerned, you will probably not wish to conform.

What a great image!  Today’s Death card comes to us from a new deck titled Sawyer’s Path Tarot.  I am loving the entire deck, but you must admit this Death card really rocks!  Sailing off into a beautiful sunset does indeed make for the perfect ending.

We are still under the influence of the Full Moon, which occurred at  0° Gemini, even though today’s Moon is actually in Leo.  Endings, or in this case, it feels like being done, or, at the very least, wanting to be done.  That  was the first of five Full Moons which will be at 0°; at this point, it feels as though you are more than ready for a next chapter to begin.  We all know the Death card is not only about endings, but also about beginnings, and they do feel as they they are drawing closer every day.

I mentioned feeling done with…

Here he comes, and there he goes! The Knight of Wands has a tendency to be all over the place at times. In an effort to effect his desired changes, he can become brash and cocky, a bit restless, and yes, rather scattered. The caution here for today is especially toward the scattered part; you are still under the influence of the Gemini Full Moon at , and the Moon is still residing there. Gemini energy is generally focused on more than one thing at a time, which can be great for multitasking, but, perhaps not so great, given that Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, is currently retrograde in the sign of its detriment.

Feeling like a bit of a gadabout may be unavoidable today, what with the holiday now in full swing, and all that. It becomes necessary for many to fit in extra errands, often foregoing the more mundane ones…

It’s back! The 8 of Swords is here once again to remind you to get out of your own way, get out of your head and limited ways of thinking, and to open your eyes to the possibilities. But, wait! Today is the first full day of Mercury retrograde, and it is in the sign of Sagittarius, the one that brings us the BIG Picture. Very often, when we see the 8 of Swords, we feel powerless to find the way out of a particular situation. I will be honest with you, between today and tomorrow, I believe it is possible this can go either way. Everyone, of every sign, is affected by Mercury retrograde differently. So, while it is not unlikely that you can achieve a breakthrough in one area, you may feel as though you are in a complete fog in another. Mercury will remain retrograde through December…
