High Priestess as Temperance
The Moon moves into Sagittarius today and will be there until Tuesday.
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.

You’ve made it! Enjoy! What a good day! After the long journey you’ve finally managed to get to the other side of the night.
There’s no need to be shy – express yourself and let everyone see you smile.
You have confidence now and boundaries no longer pen you in. Creativity carries you forward as if in a dream.
Focus your imagination and you can manifest what you will. Be open, free and alive.
Let’s see you shine!

Here’s a sweet animated video by Nisamohi using images from the Rider Waite Smith Tarot and a song called Break the Spell by Ellis.

Waiting and watching will probably be a bit of a preoccupation today. You’ve begun the process and have done all you can for the moment.
This might be a good time to review the steps you’ve taken so far. Make sure that you’ve got yourself balanced before the real journey begins.
Virtue is likely to be a key concept. Virtue here means being true to yourself within and between all your layers – mind, body and spirit.
Are your emotions in line with your thinking? Are you acting in a way that accurately reflects you’re beliefs and feelings? Explore these questions and relax. Your ship will arrive soon.

Here’s an interesting Tarot oriented Kickstarter Project … Mysteries of the Arcana, Chapter 5 by James Gray and Keith Wood.
Mysteries of the Arcana is an LGBT-friendly action comic book series based on Tarot’s Major and Minor Arcana, and it looks great.
Four issues have already been published, and you can see them all for free on-line at the Mysteries of the Arcana website. Take a look.
But to learn more about Chapter 5, the Kickstarter campaign supporting it, and the rewards you can get for donating, watch the video below and/or visit the project page.

King of Cups

King of Cups
He was just here last Sunday, but the King of Cups is back …
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.

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

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.

Great news for fans of the Beyond Worlds Tarot Intensives … they’re starting up again! Or should I say, they’re continuing where we left off.
The last cards we looked at were the 3’s in the Minor Arcana. I’m not sure exactly when, but very soon the 4’s will finally get their day.
I’ll let you know as soon as I do!
Till then though you might want to listen to a couple of new Beyond Worlds episodes we recently recorded.
The first was with Nadine Bernadette Roberts who shared her own personal (and rather inspirational) story of how she became a Tarot reader when the world around her seemed to be saying ‘no’.
And the second features Richard Abbot of the Hermitage Development Centre. He spoke with us about the power of numbers and how we might use them for self-development and understanding.
Interesting stuff.
Take a listen to these and other great episodes at Beyond Worlds.

Charge forward with strength and vitality. This is a day of power, passion and growing energy. Your plan is in place and now’s the time to take it to the next step. Use your internal fire to take you where you’re tying to go.
You don’t need to wait till everything’s perfect to start moving. In fact, more often than not, things don’t start falling where they should until you start shifting them up and get some excitement going. Take a chance that you know what you’re doing and act on it. Believe in yourself and don’t be shy.
