The Tarot Room – Georgianna

Mercury moves into Aquarius today, and will stay there until January 31st.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the Magician is wearing the clothes of the Star. In other words, he’s bare and in the dark.

Mercury in Aquarius, or the Magician dressed as the Star, can be a time of focused rejuvenation and empathetic communication.

It’s safe now to share your feelings, hopes, and sadnesses.

And if doubt and confusion have created a stalemate, or a climate of distrust, you might soon start to feel a more easy flow, and reason for optimism.

Be open with your heart, and unafraid to speak with love. A few kind words can change everything.

The Moon moves into Gemini today and will stay there until Tuesday.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Lovers’ Angel. She floats above the naked couple, blessing their sacred union.

The Moon in Gemini, or High Priestess dressed as the Lovers’ angel, can be an emotionally confusing time, one where internal conflicts arise in order to be reconciled.

But it can also be a time of clarity, honest communication and almost intuitive understanding about yourself and those around you.

Quiet faith teams up with commitment and the Angels approve of the whole thing.

Try to keep your emotions in line with your reason. Going too far either way could disturb a really nice balance.

Queen of Wands

Be yourself and be it fully. This is a day for you to shine. You know yourself and you’ve been true to your soul. It’s always worth it and now you’re remembering why.

As you harness your energy to create your will, do so with compassion. Remember what you suffered to get to your present state. Have compassion for those that are still struggling. They can use your inspiration, but remember your strength. Be careful not to burn them.

Take pride in your self and your work and be the best you can.

I joined Pinterest last week. What fun it is!

Though I really don’t need something new to distract me from getting down to work, I’ve been having a great time cruising around and seeing all the things people are Pinterested in.

One of the websites I came across in my virtual travels (via Andrew McGregor of The Hermit’s Lamp’s board) was Doodler’s Anonymous – a permanent home for spontaneous art. If you want to see fun drawings of pretty well everything, visit this site.

And what a great place to do some TarotSpotting. I came across one artist named Jon Carling whose picture of a girl and her cat got me thinking about the Page of Swords. And there was another that I thought would make a fabulous Moon card.

There was also a video called Luis Vs. The Skeletons which I’ve posted below. It reminded me of another young Page of Swords tackling the most frightening enemy of them all.

Take a look at the video, and visit Carling’s site when you get a chance. Whether you’re TarotSpotting or not, it’s well worth a peek.

Today it might seem like you’ve got it all, and yet there’s still something missing.  Emotionally, you’ve got plenty of support.  People around you love you and you love them back.  Despite it all though, there’s a nagging feeling that it’s just not enough.

Perhaps you’re fantasizing about a new love, a new friend, or at a new spark to make what you’ve already got even more special.

Examine these feelings carefully and determine what it is that leaves you slightly unsatisfied.  Are you being reasonable – or a bit of a brat.  Pay attention to what you’ve got and don’t forget to give thanks.

At the same time – if there is something missing, it’s missing and there’s no getting around it.  Meditate on what it is that leaves you wanting more and figure out whether or not it’s something you should pursue.

Remember though, what you wish for might just appear out of thin air – make sure you really want it?

The Moon moves into Taurus today and stays there until Saturday.

If you look at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Hierophant. She’s sitting before two acolytes and sharing the secrets she usually guards.

The Moon in Taurus, or High Priestess in the Hierophant’s clothes, is a time of spiritual and emotional certitude.

There’s a sense that the truth can be explained, understood and incorporated into daily life. Rules can and should be followed.

Instead of trying to force others to recognize what you know to be certain, try using this time to simply share your emotional, intellectual and spiritual perceptions.

Celebrate the diversity of spirit in our world, while figuring out for yourself what rules, spiritual or otherwise, work best for you.

#14 Temperance

Thursday, January 9, 2014
#14 – Temperance

This is a great day to even things out. Balance and temperance are the energies surrounding you now. Can you bring your physical world into harmony with your emotional state?

Temperance is about that perfect mix, neither too much nor too little. It’s about becoming conscious of what you want to be both inside and out, and courageous enough to try.

You are responsible for any healing you might need. The first step is to acknowledge what might be out of balance and then start readjusting.

Sometimes it’s about finding a new way to meld your internal opposites; sometimes it’s about casting out what no longer works. In all cases though, it’s about being true to your self and connecting to the grander universe.

Try asking an angel for some help today. You might be surprised at the result.

#1 The Magician

#1 – The Magician

Were you thinking of starting something new? This is the time to do it. The energy of The Magician encourages you to start fresh.

Look around – I bet you have all the tools you need for this new enterprise. It’s only up to you to start making things happen.

Name your goal and start listing the steps you need to get there. Especially important is that first step. It can be big or small – just take it! You’re at the very beginning right now, don’t let the long journey ahead dissuade you from going forward.

You can’t go back, so what the heck? Focus on what it is you want to achieve and you can make anything happen.

Beware though, don’t try fooling yourself or others, there’s no need for deception. It will only lead you down the wrong road right from the start. Stay true to your plan and keep yourself focused.

You can do what you need to without resorting to trickery or lies. It’ll work out much better in the long run if you stick to the truth.

I mentioned it a while back, but now it’s actually happening … the Elora Tarot Project is coming to Toronto.

The Elora Tarot Project is the brainchild of Shelley Carter who, after a trip to Italy in 2011, came home to Elora, Ontario inspired to create a ‘made in Elora’ Tarot deck.

She gathered some of her artist friends together and they liked the idea too. Next thing you know, the deck was born.

You can see it online at the Elora Tarot Project website. But if you’re lucky enough to be in the Toronto area from January 9th through the 12th, you can see it in person.

All 78 artworks will be on display in the 2nd floor gallery of the beautiful old Gladstone Hotel. Though the show will already be hanging a few days earlier, the reception for the event will be held on Saturday, January 11th from 7 to 10pm.

Hope to see you there!!
