High Priestess as Strength
The Moon moves into Leo today and stays there until Sunday.
Translated into Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is wearing Strength’s clothing. She’s thrown off her heavy cape and is spending some time outside with her lion.
The Moon in Leo, or High Priestess in Strength’s clothing is potentially a time of emotional power. Something beautiful that’s usually under wraps can finally be revealed.
The silence is broken. Quiet wisdom and passion can be united. During this time, it might be difficult to keep your ideas to yourself. But why should you?
Try finding an outlet for plans you’ve been sitting on? This is an opportunity to shine if you’re not over-burdened by self-consciousness.
It might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but letting your wilder side out right now could be positive. The sun isn’t always shining. Take advantage of it when it does.

Swift communication is at the forefront today. Have you applied for something and been waiting to hear back? Expecting some news to finally come down the wire?
Or maybe it will be a surprise. One way or another, the message is on its way and your wait is almost over. You’ll know soon enough.
Now that your plans are in action, things will start moving quickly. Communicate what you want and don’t be shy about it.
How else will people know what you’re thinking? This is the time to get your ideas out there and your message heard.

#19 – The Sun
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!

The Moon moves into Cancer today, and stays there until Thursday.
Looking at this transit through the lens of the Tarot, you might describe it as the High Priestess dressed in the clothing of the Charioteer. She’s left the safety of her pillars and veil, and has hit the road.
The Moon in Cancer, or the High Priestess dressed as the Charioteer, can be a powerful time of comfortable change and emotional resilience.
Knowledge gathered in silence has coalesced and it’s time to share without fear of being hurt.
Emotional loyalty, intuitive direction and strength of character can give you the resolve to go forward. Even into the unknown.
Try not to coddle yourself. You can only win if you have the courage to play to the end.

Do it now! It’s a fantastic day to get going on whatever project (especially a new one) you’ve been thinking about. Opportunities abound for you to finally move forward with your plan.
Don’t be afraid if you think you can’t do it? You’ve been spending plenty of time thinking about it. Look close, you’ll see you have all you need to make it work.
The only thing that will slow you down is doing things the same old way. Start fresh now. You’re ready to go.

Last week, I came across the website cardcow.com. They specialize in buying and selling vintage postcards of all sorts.
Many of the postcards featured on the site are physically available for purchase, but there’s also an option to buy image downloads, or to use them for free on your website (if you use the handy embed code they supply).
I spent some time looking around, and as usual when faced with a multitude of images, I started TarotSpotting. It was a goldmine!!
Below, you’ll find a Major Arcana I put together rather quickly. I found some great images for many of the Minor Arcana as well, but I’ll probably put them together in a future post.
I’d love to purchase these images and make actual cards with them, but for now the Virtual PostCard Arcana is what we’ve got …
The Fool

The Magician

The High Priestess

The Empress

The Emperor

The Hierophant

The Lovers

The Chariot

Justice

The Hermit

The Wheel of Fortune

Strength

The Hanged Man

Death

Temperance

The Devil

The Tower

The Star

The Moon

The Sun

Judgement

The World

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.

Take a look at the tragic, yet very funny, video animation below by John Andrews called Dumb Joe & the Psychic.
Dumb Joe visits a psychic, but the visit doesn’t go so well.

#6 The Lovers

#6 – The Lovers
Are there choices to be made? Decisions you’ve put off for another time? Well this is the time. The Lovers card asks us to finally make up our minds – either commit or get out now.
On a personal level, the Lovers reminds us to balance the opposites within ourselves. Are your ying and yang in sync? Does your conscious experience compliment your unconscious dream state or do they seem at war? Are you living a life that satisfies your soul?
Heavy questions, but this is a great day to think about them. In fact, you might find it difficult not to.
This is a serious commitment you’re thinking about. To help you make up your mind, ask yourself which direction brings you closer to your soul’s call. You probably already know the answer.
