the tarot room

Though the holidays can be a time of good will and good cheer and all that happy stuff, they can also be a time of stress.

From gift shopping to party attending, it’s fun, but exhausting. And the parties themselves aren’t always so easy to navigate.

We gather together with people we love, or at least share something in common with, and practice giving and receiving and generally making merry.

But sometimes despite our best intentions, the gathering of family and friends can set off more emotion than intended.

It’s not unusual for toasts over turkeys to quickly transform into brawls that bring the tree down.

So just in case you’re anticipating unintended fireworks at any of the celebrations you might be attending, I’ve come up with a spread to prepare for potential problem areas.

It’s called the Make It a Merry Holiday Spread, and is meant to be done before setting out to your next party or holiday event.

4. Is there a response you might try instead?

5. Where can you find a unifying bridge between you and the other person or the situation itself?

6. What advice does the ‘Holiday Spirit’ have to help make this the merriest event it can possibly be?

High Priestess dressed as Lovers' Angel

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

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.

Page of Cups

Sweetness abounds when the page of cups is around.  This is a great day to communicate emotions – enthusiastically and without censor, especially to those you love.

There’s a lightness in the air and the sense that something new could be starting.  And it just might be.

It’s good to remember though, that there’s no need for you to commit to anything serious right now.  It’s still the time of freshness and beginnings.  Becoming heavy now would only dampen what’s still just growing.

Express yourself and let your imagination wander.
