As readers of this blog know, I regularly post pictures of graffiti images I come across that remind me of Tarot cards. I might even do so again tomorrow.
Today though, I’m posting a video I came across of Rone & Meggs actually creating graffiti that reminds me of a Tarot card – the Strength Card to be exact.

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.

Queen of Wands
We just saw her on Wednesday, but the Queen of Wands is back again …
Be yourself and be it fully. This is a day for you to shine. You know yourself and you’ve been true to your soul. It’s always worth it and now you’re remembering why.
As you harness your energy to create your will, do so with compassion. Remember what you suffered to get to your present state. Have compassion for those that are still struggling. They can use your inspiration, but remember your strength. Be careful not to burn them.
Take pride in your self and your work and be the best you can.

The video below shows Parisian artist Yué Wu talk about his Absolut Art-Stream project where he painted 60 bottles and used them to create a beautiful animated short.
Though it has nothing overtly to do with Tarot, I couldn’t help but notice the four suits of wands, cups, pentacles, and swords represented in the film through the four elements of fire, water, earth, and air.
It’s kind of like a story of Tarot’s four elements told in sixty frames.
Take a look …

King of Cups

King of Cups
Compassion, emotional strength and mature love are key energies today. The King of Cups understands well the joys and sacrifices involved in relationships of all kinds.
Concern yourself with how others are feeling, what they need for support and how you might help. Through concern for the needs of others you might unexpectedly fulfill your own.
And if you know you’re needing some assistance yourself but have been afraid to ask – get over it. Emotional generosity and support are there if you’re willing to let someone help. But they have to know you need the help before they can offer it.

Hannah Manocchio is a fourth year art student at Elmhurst College in Illinois who’s decided to make Tarot’s Major Arcana her Senior Art Capstone Project.
Manocchio is making 22 colour reduction woodcuts of all the Major Arcana cards, and the ones she’s done so far are great.
You can see them at her Kickstarter Page, where you can also read a little more about her and her project.
I wish she was willing to deliver her pledge gifts to Canada. I’d love to have a t-shirt with one of her card images on it.
And if she ever makes a full deck, I’d certainly be interested in getting one.

High Priestess as the Devil
The Moon moves into Capricorn today and will stay there until Saturday.
If you were to describe this transit using the Tarot, you might say that the High Priestess is wearing the Devil’s clothing. The virginal goddess has gotten downright beastly.
The Moon in Capricorn, or High Priestess in the Devil’s clothing, is a period of potential internal conflict. The physical world might seem to draw you away from what you typically believe to be right.
You might feel driven or compelled by behaviours and attitudes that go against the grain of your morality. It could be liberating or disturbing, depending on your secrets.
Whatever’s going on though, don’t be too hard on yourself. Get obsessions out of your system, and learn what you can about yourself while you do so.
You should be ready to move on soon. There’s nothing wrong with a little focused physicality. Just don’t get stuck.

#0 – The Fool
This is a great day to take the leap and do something different. It might seem crazy and you have no idea how it’s going to turn out, or maybe even how you got on this path in the first place, but here you are. It’s time to make your move and do so without fear.
The Fool card isn’t telling you to be an idiot, but rather to stop double thinking yourself all the time and worrying that every single thing is in order before you can make a move.
Life isn’t really that logical. There’s no way to prepare for all eventualities, no matter how smart you are. Do what you can and let the universe take care of the bigger story.
