Leprechauns and shamrocks might be what first come to mind when we think of St. Patrick’s Day, but as a Tarot reader I couldn’t help but notice how much St. Patrick himself looks like the Hierophant, at least in this stained glass rendition of him.
And like the Hierophant, the patron saint of Ireland was very much concerned with tradition, religion, morality, and spreading the word he’d heard from on high.
St. Patrick’s energy is an interesting mix with that of the Leprechauns that usually share his stage. While he was known to be upright, and at least looks stern in this picture, Leprechauns are quite different.
They’re known for their mischievous ways, tricks and wishes, and all things unconventional.
It’s like the Fool is playing with the Master. And I for one think it’s great.
It keeps the Hierophant from gaining too much control with imposed structure, yet reigns in the wildest antics of the Fool. Kind of a perfect mix.
So today as you raise a glass of green beer to toast Saint Patrick and the Leprechauns, you might want to add an extra toast to the Hierophant and the Fool.
They might not be Irish, but they’ve got the spirit. Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!

High Priestess in Star's Clothing
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.

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.
