If The Knight Of Pentacles Were An Artist …

Knight of Pentacles from the Smith Waite Tarot

The video below of artist Tony Plant creating a beautiful temporary painting in the sand reminded me of Tarot’s Knight of Pentacles.

As an artist this Knight would probably be a lot like Plant – natural, steady, earth oriented, and fascinated by circles.

And what a perfect name – Plant. That’s what the Knight of Pentacles is especially good at, planting.

Also, both Plant and the Knight keep moving forward when their work is done. They let nature takes its course and simply go on to the next task.

We had this card just last Thursday, but it’s back ….

This is a day to take your time and think things through – calmly and quietly. Trust your inner voice and let silence be your friend. There’s probably a lot of emotion behind your thoughts these days. Try to keep balance.

Make sure you’re not overthinking things. It’s all about listening to both your logic and your intuition. Both have something to say to you right now. Try not to let your emotions sweep you away or your thoughts crush you down. You’ll know what to do when you need to do it. No need to act right now, just sit.

Mental peace is the energy you’ll discover in your quietude. Keep still. Keep calm. Your thoughts may be heavy, but you’re more than strong enough to hold them.

Moon in Sagittarius – High Priestess in Temperance's Clothing

The High Priestess dressed in Temperance's Clothing

High Priestess as Temperance

The Moon moves into Sagittarius today and will be there until Wednesday.

Looking at it through the eyes of the Tarot, you can describe this transit as being like the High Priestess wearing Temperance’s clothing. She’s dressed like an angel.

The Moon in Sagittarius, or High Priestess in Temperance’s clothing, indicates a time when intellect, practicality, emotions and passion can work together in relative ease.

What’s normally only an idea might find its way to becoming real. Even-tempered inspiration and emotional playfulness can create what look like miracles.

Take this time to bring your emotions in line with your passions. And play with your most serious ideas. It’s in combining the unexpected that you’ll likely find gold.

Uh oh … it’s another animal predicting a sporting event.

This time it’s Emma the Otter from New Orleans divining the winner of today’s Super Bowl.

It looks like she’s picked San Francisco for the win … we’ll see soon enough.

The King of Swords from Georgie's Tarot

King of Swords

Clear rational thinking is at the fore today.  Is there something you need to take control of?  Have you been wavering and wishy-washy lately?  Stop procrastinating.

Focus, take charge and get it done.   Have the courage to be clear and rational.  Cut through the fog and let logic rule the day.

You know who you are, you know what you want and you’re sure you deserve it.   Go to it.  But beware of dictating what’s best for those around you.

You might know how to take care of yourself, but let others take care of their own lives, their own way.

Mars in Pisces – The Tower's Lightening Strikes the Moon

February 2nd, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

Mars in Pisces, the Tower's Lightening Strikes the MoonMars moves into Pisces today and will stay there until March 12th.

In the language of the Tarot, this transit could be described as the Tower’s lightening striking the dark landscape of the Moon. Its night sky has become unexpectedly bright.

When the Tower’s lightening appears, it usually does so with little notice, but with a great deal of energy. It’s fast, bright, and somewhat shocking.

The fire it ignites is strong enough to topple kings, and make solid structures seem like sand.

The Tower asks us to let go, and we might as well listen. Sometimes it’s safer to leap than to languish.

The Moon on the other hand, moves more slowly, and is certainly less decisive.

It’s dreamy and unclear, mysterious and mostly silent.

Under the Moon’s gaze, feelings make more sense than words, and instincts are more dependable than logic.

Though the Moon isn’t particularly comfortable with the Tower’s sudden flash of fire, there’s no denying its energizing effect.

Mars in Pisces, or the Tower’s lightening striking the Moon, is a great time to stir up the muck and start recharging.

Though you might rather avoid new ideas, situations, or even people, doing so could cost you the opportunity to see something more clearly than you had before.

Pay attention to flashes of sudden psychic insight you might experience, and don’t shy away from looking your emotional fears straight in the face.

Though new perspectives might throw you for a bit of a loop, you’re going to be fine. Follow your instincts and you’ll stay on path.

Venus in Aquarius – Empress Dressed as the Star

Venus in Aquarius, or the Empress Dressed as the Star

Empress as the Star

Venus moves into Aquarius today and will be there until February 26th.

If we look at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it would be like the Empress is wearing the Star’s clothing. In other words, she’s thrown off her robe and is in the nude.

Venus in Aquarius, or the Empress being as naked as the Star, is a wonderful time to give and receive love.

It’s a love beyond romance or sexuality. It’s a deep compassion and empathy for everyone and everything.

This is a great time to recognize not only our own hurts and scars, but those of others as well. Offer emotional support where you can, and be open to accepting it in kind.

And if there was a better time to visit a spa, I can’t think of one.

Let yourself heal and hope. Whatever’s gone on before, there’s a beautiful new day soon to come.

Moon in Scorpio – High Priestess in Death's Clothing

February 2nd, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

The High Priestess in Death's Clothes

The moon moves into Scorpio today and stays there until Monday.

If you translate this transit into the Tarot, you could say that the High Priestess is dressed as Death. She’s in the midst of a great transformation.

The Moon in Scorpio, or High Priestess in Death’s clothing, suggests a time when feelings run deep. The ability to end relationships that don’t work, or release stagnant emotions is accentuated.

If there’s a situation in your life that’s nearing its completion, especially if it’s emotional or relationship-oriented, this might be a good time to let it go. At least explore it with emotional clarity.

This isn’t a time to be afraid, but rather a time to face your fears with equanimity and intelligence.

You’ve got what it takes. Don’t back down from the scary stuff.

There’s so much to do right now you probably feel you can’t keep up.  Don’t worry –  you can.

Just keep things in motion and try to stay focused on whatever task you’re working on at each particular moment.  You’ve got more than enough energy for everything right now, try not to give up.

Emotionally things might get a little hairy, but as with your work, you’re more than able to cope.

The changes going on in your life right now are good ones. You’ve put them into motion yourself and you’ll be just fine.

Archeologists Ep.2

The video below called Archeologists Episode 2 by Bart Batchelor is absolutely hilarious.

Though it has nothing to do with Tarot, the video does involve a sun god, ankhs, and a ghostly mind-reader.

Take a look …
