6 of Disks
The reckoning’s done and it’s finally time to dole out the rewards. Have you done your fair share? Are you ready to accept what’s due?
Success is coming to those who have done what they can to manifest their goals. It may seem like manna from heaven but look again – it’s more likely compensation for a job well done.
And don’t forget to thank those who have been helping you. We’re never alone in either our successes or our failures.
Mars in Sagittarius – Tower Strikes Temperance
October 7th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
Mars moves into Sagittarius today and will stay there until November 17th.
From a Tarot perspective, it would be like the Tower’s lightening strikes behind the Temperance Angel. His usually tranquil environment is shaking up around him.
The Tower really gets matters charged up. It’s powerful and energizing, loosening all blocks and obstructions in its way.
More often than not, it’s unexpected, a bolt from the sky that throws everything into chaos.
The Tower reminds us that solidity is just an illusion. Everything is always in flux, and no matter how many walls we build up, eventually they’re all going to come down.
Temperance, on the other hand, is about easy flow. He balances earth, air, and fire in perfect harmony and isn’t often caught off guard.
Steady, yet fluid, he’s able to control nature as if by magic. His wings connect him to the divine, while his feet lightly plant him in earth’s soil and water.
Temperance is about following the mean, not cascading one way or another. He’s about balance and movement even when standing still.
And though typically serene, Temperance is well able to manage the force of the Tower. He’s fluid, and willing to realign.
Mars in Sagittarius, or the Tower’s lightening striking behind the Temperance Angel, is a time of energized flexibility.
Though you might be surprised by some of the events swirling around you, you can find strength in the opportunity to let go of old ideas, situations, or relationships that might be hemming you in.
Take control, but be flexible. Attaching yourself too strongly to one particular concept or way of doing things isn’t necessary or even desirable right now.
Keeping yourself balanced as you take action towards change is more important. And for the time being at least, probably a lot easier and more productive.
Moon in Cancer – High Priestess Dressed as the Charioteer

High Priestess as the Chariot
The Moon moves into Cancer today, and stays there until Tuesday.
Looking at this transit through the lens of the Tarot, you might describe it as the High Priestess dressed in the clothing of the Charioteer. She’s left the safety of her pillars and veil, and has hit the road.
The Moon in Cancer, or the High Priestess dressed as the Charioteer, can be a powerful time of comfortable change and emotional resilience.
Knowledge gathered in silence has coalesced and it’s time to share without fear of being hurt.
Emotional loyalty, intuitive direction and strength of character can give you the resolve to go forward. Even into the unknown.
Try not to coddle yourself. You can only win if you have the courage to play to the end.

Ace of Cups

Ace of Cups
It must be a weekend of emotional renewal because I pulled the Ace of Cups again! Enjoy!! …
Emotional renewal is the name of the game today. A new way of feeling about something and/or somebody is about to emerge. Perhaps you’re feeling it already – it’s like that first hint of spring or when a magnolia tree finally blossoms after a long cold winter.
Joy and hope are in the air and accessible to you. Throw away any gloom you’ve been dragging around and wake up to the inspiration of postive emotions. There’s a sense that anything can happen and it’s probably going to be good. Be receptive to the love that’s around you and give it back in kind.

Saturn in Scorpio – The World Riding Death's Horse
October 5th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink
Saturn moves into Scorpio today and will have a long stay there through December 23rd, 2014.
From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the dancer in the World card is riding Death’s horse. She’s put down her batons and is taking survey of what needs change.
The World represents the culmination of a long and triumphant passage through a cycle. It is completion in its most euphoric sense.
Everything is coming full circle. A unity has been established out of the chaos, and all that’s left to do is dance.
The World reminds us to celebrate as we prepare to begin again on a new plateau. What’s ending can be looked upon with joy, and what’s beginning can be looked forward to with enthusiasm.
The Death card is also about completion, though it has a much more somber take on the subject than the World does.
It’s transformation through putrefaction and decay. It holds nothing sacred and takes on all who cross its path, saints and sinners alike.
Death is the end of what no longer works, but also the trigger for transformation into something that does.
Though the World would rather dance than play the heavy, she’s up for the challenge of riding Death’s mare. If anyone knows how to end things with grace, she does.
Saturn in Scorpio, or the World riding Death’s horse, is a time of extraordinary change.
Personal and global cycles are coming to a close, and though some of the endings might be unwelcome, there’s a sense of optimism in the air as well.
There’s a chance now to really clear out that which no longer serves you. Take this time to purge and release whatever’s blocking you from moving forward.
Though some of the shifts might be uncomfortable at first, they’re necessary and likely inevitable. A new perspective on the world is emerging. Embrace it and dance.
Mercury in Scorpio – Magician in Death's Clothing

Magician dressed as Death
Mercury moves into Scorpio today and will stay there until October 29th.
From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the Magician is wearing Death’s clothing. He’s in black armour and riding a white stallion.
Mercury in Scorpio, or the Magician in Death’s clothing, is a good time to concentrate on cycles of change. Use them to inspire, rather than to bring you down, or rehash the past.
With all that’s changing, where do you want to focus next? This is a fabulous time to think that through, clear away any stagnant emotions, and start redirecting yourself towards the future.
It’s easier during this period to talk about what’s passed, even if it usually makes you sad. Reminiscences can be fertile soil for new ideas, and clarity of mind protects against letting things get too sappy.
Surrender with your mind wide open, and don’t be afraid to get deep. Transformative miracles most often start with the magic of the awareness.

Page of Cups

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.
