Free Weekly Tarot Reading April 16 -22, 2017

Though you may be feeling alone and emotionally constipated (8 of cups and Moon reversed), now is the time to get out and connect with others (3 of cups).

Get together with people you enjoy doing things you enjoy just to do it.

At least for this week, stop trying to make every single minute of your day be productive and working toward future goals (Queen of swords reversed).

Creativity can appear when you let down your guard and do something out of the ordinary.

Full Moon in Libra and Mercury Retrograde

Free Weekly Tarot Reading for April 9-15 2017

This week starts off with a Full Moon in Libra and Mercury turning retrograde it Taurus. You should start seeing some rewards for your efforts but don’t let up on the gas.  Pay special attention to your thoughts and point of view as that is most likely what is holding you back.

Full Moon in Libra

full moon in libraWe have a full moon in Libra at 21 degrees. Hanging out with the Sun is Uranus at 24 degrees and hanging out with the moon we have Jupiter at 17/18 degrees.

The Sun and Uranus are calling for you to be the most you you can be and to move forward bravely and authentically. This is illustrated through the Strength card and The World card. We aren’t messing around here, you are creating your destiny!

The Moon and Jupiter are bringing forth signs of the harvest (7 of pentacles).  This week you may receive a small inkling or reward for all of your efforts. Keep adding stitches until you finish the piece.

Mercury Retrograde in Taurus

Mercury turns retrograde in Taurus on April 9th. This one snuck up on me!

Mercury retrograde or any retrograde is about reviewing the past as the Creative Whack Pack pull underlined.

The Strength Card came up again highlighting the need to love yourself warts and all, while the 8 of pentacles encourages you to continue to perfect your craft.

Finally the 5 of pentacles lets us know that past performance is not an indicator of future performance. In other words, past failures do not indicate future failure. Keep vigilant and don’t let your mind play tricks on you.

This week’s deck is the Wild Unknown Tarot.

Venus Square Saturn

Free Weekly Tarot and Astrology: Venus square Saturn April 2-8, 2017

This week is a continuing saga between Venus and Saturn.  Late in January of this year Venus and Saturn had a conversation that didn’t go to well.  The rest of this month (April) is round two.

VenusVenus

We talk about Venus as the Empress card in Tarot and relate the 3’s of each suit back to her.  The empress is about creativity and growth, and not necessarily organization and planning.  Think of your garden near the end of summer, after everything has grown wild for a couple of months or more.

Saturn

We talk about the Emperor card and The World and how they relate to Saturn.  Taking action and providing structure, long term goals and planning these are the realms of the Emperor.  The World is about knowing our limitations and how to work within them.

Saturn’s pack is too heavy so he’s got to empty it out and leave some items with friends while he runs back to check on something along the road of Why.

Venus Square Saturn

Venus complains to Saturn that everything is too hard and she wants to enjoy life a little. Saturn is in a hurry to leave and find something he lost along his pilgrimage to the Why of Life.  But he does tell Venus that she’s got to do it on her own.

Sun Enters Aries March 20

Happy New Year!  The sun’s entrance into the sign of Aries marks the beginning of the astrological New Year.  If the first quarter of 2017 has been a bit of a disappointment, you make a fresh start this year.  The moon is still waning, so the energy won’t kick off entirely until March 27th.

Mercury is busy this week

forecast for March 19-25Mercury will square Pluto, oppose Jupiter and conjunct Uranus.  What this means is you will get messages about what scares the shit out of you, how to break free from stuff that doesn’t support your individual, authentic and freaky self, and how to keep all parties concerned at least moderately happy.

You’ve had some success, but is success all it’s cracked up to be? – Mercury opposing Jupiter

Get out your foil hat and get ready for a download from the Universe when Mercury conjoins Uranus. You may experience a Eureka moment or get hit by a bright idea.

See you next week!

venus retrograde
As we approach equal day and equal night and Venus turns retrograde, we are called to weigh in on relationships of all kinds.

Your Weekly Fortune Cookie for the First Week of March 2017

This shift is coming as Venus and Mars start to separate and we approach the equinox (day and night of equal length).  Time to weigh things out as we finish up the first quarter of the year.

Venus retrograde in Aries March 4 – April 15 2017

Venus in Aries is a bit feisty as she turns retrograde on March 4. This is symbolized by our jumper card, the 5 of wands.  Venus in Aries is feisty in general, but as she turns retrograde, she will be examining fairness and worth in relationships, friendships, and collaborations.

If a relationship of any kind is out of balance, expect to be notified or to be the one giving notice!

Full Moon in Virgo March 12, 2017

The full moon at 22 degrees Virgo could bring fruition to your hard work and attention to detail.  Where have you been accepting nothing less than perfection?  This is perhaps where you will see the payoff.

Mars moves into Taurus March 9 – April 21 2017

We’ve been lit up with fire sign volatility and mutable movement for the past several weeks.  With Mars in Taurus we will be able to have grounded activity and perhaps a bit more pleasure symbolized by the Ace of cups.  Mars in Taurus is very appropriate for doing yard work and planting your garden.

Your Weekly Fortune Cookie for the Last Week of February 2017

death tarot cardThis is a week of big endings and possibly small beginnings.

In this weekly tarot reading, the message is loud and clear — let go of the old, the outdated, the no longer useful, the dead wood, and any place you are just going through the motions.  You might want to make a list of throw away and keep, helpful and not helpful, exciting and boring.

It’s also possible that some things may be cleared for you.

The North/South axis of this week’s reading is asking us to manage our thoughts and manage our resources wisely. Don’t let the thought train take you to disaster and don’t be miserly with your resources.  Instead expand your thoughts and resources to meet the new you that is emerging through the cracks in the sidewalk.  Tips for doing so are in the video.

Finally, a short day trip to the land of fantasy is a good idea right now.  Just remember to mark your path with something more substantial than bread crumbs so you can find your way back.

Free Weekly Tarot Reading February 19-25, 2017

free weekly tarot reading feb 19 through 25This week ends with a solar eclipse at 8 degrees Pisces!  Get ready to let go of old patterns, even those from past lives and move into the new you.

Mercury is busy this week and might bring you some missing information that will allow you to structure and add details to your plans.

With Mars conjunct Uranus and square Pluto you might want to kick some ass and get going on something, just be willing to accept the consequences. This is a repetition of the energy we’ve been dealing with since 2012, so if you fight authority and authority always wins, don’t expect a new outcome.

The cards brought forward the new you that is rising with the sap of the spring.  The future is so bright, you gotta wear shades!
