I just love the short film below called 850 Meters produced by Thuristar and written and directed by Joeri Christiaen.
It’s about a young knight seeking fame, fortune, and the love of a princess.
To do so though, this Knight of Cups type needs to become a Knight of Swords. He’s up for the quest, but it’s not exactly what he thought it would be.

Queen of Cups

Queen of Cups
The energy today is full of nurturance and love. Let yourself give and receive. Share your feelings, your dreams and what it is that makes you human. Let your imagination run away with you (while holding on to reality if you can).
The Queen of Cups loves romance and laughter and beauty in all its forms. Take a leap into your emotional depths. Don’t be afraid, you won’t stay under too long. This Queen understands emotional limits – how to push them and how to pull them back gently without hurting anyone’s feelings.
Today would be a great day to enjoy the company of loved ones. Or call or write them – one way or another, be sure they know you care.

The Moon moves into Aries today and will stay there until Thursday.
Translating this transit into Tarot cards, it would be like the High Priestess is wearing the Emperor’s clothing. She’s in scarlet and armor and is ready for battle.
The Moon in Aries, or High Priestess in the clothing of the Emperor, is a time of intensified emotions. You might feel an increased desire to shape your own world.
Rather than sitting back in stillness, this transit encourages the loosening of emotional restrictions and the conscious expression of enthusiasm and/or passion.
It might be uncomfortable at first, but allow yourself to speak out loud. Take steps forward to let people know what you know and what you love.
Try to remain objective and open-minded while acting with determination and direction. It might sound impossible, but you can do both if you try.

I know we had this card yesterday, but it came back again today …
This is a good day to get your thoughts as clear as possible. And you may have some emotional issues that could use a little focused attention. It’s a great time to think things through.
What choices are you being asked to make at this time? Look them squarely in the face and choose. If you can’t choose now, when do you think you can? At least decide that. Ask yourself what will bring you closer to your own truth – a union of mind, body and soul.
You’re sharp as a tack today. Take advantage of the energy to decide what needs deciding. You can do it. How will you get to your next step if you don’t?

If you’re looking for a unique (though pricey) holiday gift for that special mystic on your list, you might be interested in this set of Spiritualist photographs being auctioned off by Swann Galleries.
The collection is from 1920 through 1922 and is described as an,
“Album of 27 Spiritualist photographs taken during seances at Dr. Thomas Glendenning Hamilton’s Psychic Room in Winnipeg, Canada. With images of camera equipment, levitation experiments, teleplasm, materializations, and psychic mediums in deep trances with supernormal ephemera.”
Sounds intriguing …

The Moon moves into Pisces today and stays there until Tuesday.
Described in Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Moon. She’s lost her material body and has disappeared into the celestial body that usually rests at her feet.
The Moon in Pisces, or High Priestess dressed as the Moon, is a time of increased perception, ill-defined understanding and what might be described as night vision.
During this time you could find your dreams feel more real than your daylight hours and what’s not said is louder than what is.
Fears might grow like a boogieman under the bed, but if you just take a peek, they’re as likely to be dust bunnies as demons or ghosts.
Be still, aware and fearless. It might be dark outside, but if there was ever a time you can navigate the unknown, this is it. Listen, breathe, flow.

Creative vision, a fiery temperament, inspirational thinking – it could be an exciting day. You have the capacity to focus your passionate energy into something constructive.
If it’s been difficult to get going with an enterprise that really matters to your soul, this is a great day to clear through the cobwebs. Take your fire and run with it.
But don’t forget to enjoy your strength wisely. No one likes a tyrant. Get to work on your goal, but don’t assume that everyone else is going to follow your lead. They might be feeling a lot like you are today and are probably looking for some followers themselves.

Take a look at this wonderful graffiti Strength card I came across.
I like how the traditional RWS maiden in white has now become one with her beast.
And the balance of fire/passion and water/emotion is perfect.

Mars moves into Libra today and will stay there until July 26th, 2014.
From a Tarot perspective, this transit is like the Tower’s lightening is striking the seat of Justice. Balance is being mightily realigned.
With Mars in Libra, or the Tower’s lightening striking Justice’s throne, definitions of what’s right or wrong become less clear. Mental paradigms begin to shift.
During this time, take advantage of any unexpected changes in your life to look at things from a new perspective.
Old connections, patterns, and methods of decision-making might be open for review. Don’t be afraid to shake things up.
Out of the chaos, a new balance will emerge. It might not be what you expected, but it will be just right.
