Tower Strikes the Hermit

Mars moves into Virgo today and will stay there until July 30, 2012. It will be retrograde from January 23 to April 13th.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit is like the Tower’s crashing around the Hermit and the night skies are on fire.

The Tower is raw power exploding from out of nowhere and shaking down everything in its wake.

It’s great for breaking through blocks and stale ways of thinking, but it can sure make things uncomfortable.

The Tower might be shocking, but at least if provides a chance to start fresh. Things that once seemed solid crumble like sand and it becomes apparent that they weren’t so solid after all.

The Hermit isn’t particularly keen on surprises. He’s slow moving and likes his fire contained.

He’s concerned with the inner realms, and spends a lot of time by himself just thinking. Wisdom is within, and it takes time alone to discover it.

The Hermit isn’t lonely or morose, just contemplative. He likes it where he is. And though he might not throw a lot of parties, he’ll welcome you if you drop by.

When the Tower shows up in the Hermit’s realm, it certainly messes with his routine, but he’s been through more than one shake up in his long life, and faces the commotion unruffled.

Mars in Virgo, or the Tower striking the Hermit, is a time to throw away your old routine and start building a new one.

A new perspective is almost certain to arise, and it’s likely to come from somewhere unexpected.

Don’t be afraid to look beyond your comfort zone, and don’t give up the details just because things around you seem chaotic.

It’s time to energetically reorganize and create a new plan of action that will be even better than before.

Stick with what you need to do and keep going. Things will calm down soon enough, and you’ll know so much more by the time it’s done.

High Priestess dressed as Lovers' Angel

The Moon moves into Gemini today and will stay there until Monday.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Lovers’ Angel. She floats above the naked couple, blessing their sacred union.

The Moon in Gemini, or High Priestess dressed as the Lovers’ angel, can be an emotionally confusing time, one where internal conflicts arise in order to be reconciled.

But it can also be a time of clarity, honest communication and almost intuitive understanding about yourself and those around you.

Quiet faith teams up with commitment and the Angels approve of the whole thing.

Try to keep your emotions in line with your reason. Going too far either way could disturb a really nice balance.

Today it might seem like you’ve got it all, and yet there’s still something missing.  Emotionally, you’ve got plenty of support.  People around you love you and you love them back.  Despite it all though, there’s a nagging feeling that it’s just not enough.

Perhaps you’re fantasizing about a new love, a new friend, or at a new spark to make what you’ve already got even more special.

Examine these feelings carefully and determine what it is that leaves you slightly unsatisfied.  Are you being reasonable – or a bit of a brat.  Pay attention to what you’ve got and don’t forget to give thanks.

At the same time – if there is something missing, it’s missing and there’s no getting around it.  Meditate on what it is that leaves you wanting more and figure out whether or not it’s something you should pursue.

Remember though, what you wish for might just appear out of thin air – make sure you really want it?
