The Hanged Man in the Moon's Clothing

Hanged Man dressed as the Moon

Neptune moves into Pisces tonight and stays there until August 5th.

Looking at this transit from a tarot perspective, it’s like the Hanged Man is dressed as the Moon. He’s dangling in the dark.

The Hanged Man is about patience, sacrifice and new perspectives. Nothing needs to be rushed and there’s nowhere to go.

He wants you to see things differently than you’re used to. And to do so you have to take some time out from the bustling turmoil.

The Hanged Man chooses to be where he is. Turning things upside down might be uncomfortable at times, but without some inversion, there’s ultimately no balance.

The Moon is darkness, mystery and the secrets of the night. It’s daytime in reverse, a time when shadows reign.

Instincts become more valuable than rules, and dreams more real than consciousness.

The Moon reflects the light, like a mirror or the ocean. It distorts and reconfigures what’s familiar. Sometimes in ways that make us afraid.

The Hanged Man doesn’t mind being here. He’s intrigued by the shadows, amused by how they transform what he sees.

Neptune in Pisces, or the Hanged Man in the Moon’s clothing, is a good time for spiritual exploration. It’s easier to be open when all boundaries have melted.

During this period it’s useful to pay attention to recurring thoughts, symbols and dreams. If an idea keeps presenting itself, take a closer look.

And don’t be afraid to turn your ideas around, facing them from a different angle. Emotional and intellectual flexibility can be rewarding.

Be still, watch and listen. Enlightenment can shine bright in the dark.

Moon in Taurus – High Priestess in the Hierophant's Clothing

The High Priestess dressed as the Hierophant

High Priestess in Hierophant's Clothes

The Moon moves into Taurus tonight and stays there until Thursday.

If you look at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Hierophant. She’s sitting before two acolytes and sharing the secrets she usually guards.

The High Priestess is understanding, receptive clarity, and quiet, yet profound, spiritual conviction.

She is the holy feminine, the virginal priestess. She willingly submits to life’s realities, but isn’t confined by the physical.

The High Priestess holds the book, the word, the codified explanation to the mysteries of the universe. But unless required, she keeps these secrets to herself.

The Hierophant is also a keeper of secrets, mysteries and the word from on high. But he’s actively willing to share.

In fact, the Hierophant sees his role as the ambassador of the spirit, the arbiter of truth in its most sublime form.

Bring the big questions before him and he will decide. He’s the human connection to the divine. He is Holy Law.

The High Priestess feels all right in this position. She might not be so accustomed to making decisions for others, but she’s certainly comfortable in her faith, and in her ability to interpret the law.

The Moon in Taurus, or High Priestess in the Hierophant’s clothes, is a time of spiritual and emotional certitude.

There’s a sense that the truth can be explained, understood and incorporated into daily life. Rules can and should be followed.

Instead of trying to force others to recognize what you know to be certain, try using this time to simply share your emotional, intellectual and spiritual perceptions.

Celebrate the diversity of spirit in our world, while figuring out for yourself what rules, spiritual or otherwise, work best for you.

#11 – Strength

Learn to direct your inner wildness during this period of fiery intensity and your personal power is likely to grow.  Innocence and purity work together to balance your passion with wisdom.

Explore ways to act assertively but without aggression.  The gentle touch might go a lot further than a loud voice or an impetuous rage.

It’s a very creative time and you’re encouraged to allow yourself room to flourish.  Don’t be shy.  This is the moment to take action and move forward with plans you may have held off on until now.
