The Moon moves into Pisces today, and stays there until Friday.
Described in Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Moon.
She’s lost her material body and has disappeared into the celestial body that usually rests at her feet.
The Moon in Pisces, or High Priestess dressed as the Moon, is a time of increased perception, ill-defined understanding and what might be described as night vision.
During this time you could find your dreams feel more real than your daylight hours and what’s not said is louder than what is.
Fears might grow like a boogieman under the bed, but if you just take a peek, they’re as likely to be dust bunnies as demons or ghosts.
Be still, aware and fearless. It might be dark outside, but if there was ever a time you can navigate the unknown, this is it. Listen, breathe, flow.
And again we have the Star – three times in less than a week ….
Optimism and rejuvenation are the themes for the day. Active generosity and compassion come easy so don’t hold back. Give and you will receive.
Embrace the Universe’s capacity to provide you with what you need when you need it most. That’s what miracles are and the Star is the goddess of miracles.
If things have been tough lately, now’s a time when you can finally lean back and take a bit of a break. Surround yourself with as much beauty as you can. It will help to replenish your soul.
Art, music, and the glory of the night sky are all worthy subjects of meditation. Let them fill you with the inspiration you need for the next leg of your journey.
Created by students Thorvaldur S. Gunnarsson, Jonatan Brüsch, Ágúst Kristinsson, Arna Snæbjørnsdottir, Esben J. Jespersen, Touraj Khosravi, and Polina Bokhan, it’s an ode to sci-fi cartoons from the 80’s.
I’ve posted it here primarily because I think it’s amusing and a fine waste of four minutes. But it does, inadvertently I’m sure, feature some Tarot imagery as well.
Most obviously, the four main characters Optica, Ion-Ray, Sun-Ray and X-Ray represent exactly the same energies as the Knights in the Tarot deck do.
Each are young, eager, powerful, and working together to master their elements. They’d do very well as the Knights of Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles.
And with the Empress energy of the Mother Mustang on their side, they’re sure to overcome the Devil nature of Destructo, and get that poor guy off the terrifying Wheel of Fortune.
Take a look for yourself. And enjoy the Space Stallions song, it’s really catchy.
It’s a good time to get to work. Nothing exciting, just keep moving forward step by step. It’ll go a lot faster now that you’re seriously on your way.
Enjoy this building process. You’re making steady progress. If you keep moving like this, you’ll reach your goals soon.
And if you’re feeling a little dull because all you do is work, work and plan for more work, that’s okay. That’s what the energy is right now and you might as well go with it.
Creating stability is worth the effort. There’ll be plenty of time for fun soon enough.
The Sun moves into Pisces today and will stay there until March 20th.
Looking at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it’s like the Sun is wearing the Moon’s clothing. He’s still smiling, but most of him has been eclipsed.
The Sun is open, enthusiastic, and bright. He wants nothing more than a good time, and celebrations for all.
There’s nothing hidden with him. He’s bare as a baby, direct and clear, no artifice or masks. He’s unafraid because really he’s in charge, of himself at least, if no one else.
The Sun seeks freedom and awareness. His consciousness is clear, and his joy in living unbound. He’s victory over darkness, a retired warrior at play.
The Moon is quite different. She’s dark and moody, uncharted and unclear.
She feels her way around, sensing and emoting. And she’s not one for overt displays, you’re more likely to feel her power than see it.
The Moon is the unknown in all mysteries, she’s our deepest inner self. Though she’s more a mirror than a lantern, she can still guide our way.
The Sun is completely out of his element here, but he’s not afraid to dive in. It might be really dark, but he’s still going to shine.
The Sun in Pisces, or the Sun dressed as the Moon, is a time when what’s hidden is brought to light, and what’s been unconscious can suddenly be known.
Clarity is likely to arise from the haze and your own inner wisdom may be exposed.
So might be some elements of yourself and others you’re not as fond of, but at least now you can see what’s normally not so apparent.
Let your intuition guide you, and your dreams act as messages to help make you stronger.
It’s a powerful time when the Sun and Moon get together. Conflicted though it may be, it can open up a whole new world.
The Moon moves into Aquarius today and stays there until Tuesday.
Described in Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Star. In other words, her robes are gone and she’s naked as the bird in the tree behind her.
The Moon in Aquarius, or High Priestess in the Star’s clothing, can sometimes be emotionally stressful. Hope may be in the air, but it’s a cautious hope.
Emotionally you feel like sharing, bubbling over with dreams for the future. But your mind keeps getting in the way, reminding you that dreams can sometimes be nightmares.
Try not to spend what could be a nice time double guessing yourself or listing off all the reasons things could go wrong. They might. But they probably won’t.
Be real, but not a wet blanket. Rather than smothering your dreams, direct them with intelligence.
You’ll probably be feeling quite loving today. Emotions are open and flowing and you’re getting along with everyone.
People will likely find you even more attractive than usual, and you them. But don’t confuse that with getting serious.
Emotions may have been high lately, or at least all over the place. You might find yourself thinking a lot about what in life (and love) truly makes you happy.
It’s a good time to think about it. But don’t worry, there’s no need to make any firm commitments right now. Just look around you and experience what life has to offer.
You’re in the process of building a new emotional maturity. Enjoy and play friendly.
It’s coming up fast so you better book your ticket soon!
Created by Wald and Ruth Ann Amberstone, the Readers Studio 2012, aka RS12, is the largest gathering of Tarot enthusiasts in North America, maybe anywhere, and it’s celebrating it’s 10th Anniversary.
It really is an incredible event, and an opportunity to meet and mingle with Tarot lovers from all over the world. Not to mention, spend some time in New York City.
The conference runs from April 27th through the 29th, with the pre-conference Master Class on the 26th.
Take a look at the video below by Chris Deleo to see what was up at last year’s conference.
You might find yourself wanting to spend some time alone today. It’s probably a good idea. Take time to look within and see what’s up inside your soul.
Have things been moving pretty fast lately? Don’t worry, it’s finally going to slow down a bit, giving you a moment to clean house and tie up loose ends.
Trust your own experience through this period. It’s through an examination of your own personal journey that you’ll discover your inner wisdom. You probably know a lot more then you give yourself credit for. But you might need some silence to notice.
Give yourself permission to be quiet. You won’t be missing anything by taking a break. It’ll only make things more fun when you finally re-emerge from your cave.
It’s not hard to see why I thought of the 2 of Pentacles when I saw this video. This guy is amazing!
In the RWS deck, the 2 of Pentacles features a man by the water juggling a couple of disks.
Often it represents the need to take care of a lot of details as you move from one state of affairs to another.
It reflects a situation where many little decisions need to be made, errands to be run, and tasks to be accomplished. It’s usually not a hard time, just a very busy one.
The juggler in this video has everything under control though. Even when it looks like things are about to fall apart, he just uses his foot and makes it all look easy.
