Magician as Hierophant
Mercury moves into Taurus today and will stay there until May 15th.
Translated into Tarot, this transit would be like the Magician is wearing the Hierophant’s clothing. He’s replaced his light robes for heavy holy vestments.
Mercury in Taurus, or the Magician wearing the Hierophant’s clothing is a time when communication might take a turn towards the spiritual, and the rules of morality.
Tradition, faith, and religious world views are all open for discussion and some conflict might be expected between new ideas and old.
This is a period when it’s not good enough to just say one thing, then jump on over to the next. You might be asked to stop and focus.
Say for real what you believe. And don’t fall for, or become, a trickster guru.
Take this opportunity to review what you have faith in. Look at it from all sides and be willing to play with the ideas.
New life can be pumped into stale old structures, and solid traditions can offer grounding to inspiration.

High Priestess in Star’s Clothing
The Moon moves into Aquarius today and stays there until Friday.
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.

#3 The Empress
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
#3 – The Empress
Creation and the celebration of the senses are highlighted today. Art, food, music – anything that inspires our physical and emotional selves will inspire you and be well worth the time.
Nurture yourself and others. It’ll probably be hard not to. Nurturance isn’t just a luxury. You need to maintain and even increase your strength in order to create what you’ve been working on. Eat delicious, healthy foods, surround yourself with beauty, take warm, aromatic baths . . . it’s all part of the Empress’ path to creation.
If you’ve been dealing with issues surrounding motherhood, women, or femininity in general, this would be a great day to take a closer look. There’s wonderful energy now to help you resolve issues you might have thought irresolvable.
