David Stoupakis and menton3 are putting together a two-man show called The Kindly Ones, opening at the Last Rites Gallery in New York City in July 2015.
Below is a video of the two artists working on one of the pieces for the show that’s based on Tarot’s Justice card. It’s pretty amazing.
If you’re interested in learning more about the show, and the book they’ll be releasing at the same time, please visit The Kindly Ones Kickstarter project page.

7 of Cups
Are you having a hard time making a decision, maybe trouble moving forward? Are you blaming yourself and everybody else for your emotional problems?
It might be a little confusing right now but don’t give up. Try to pull yourself together and start making some choices.
Don’t waste your time worrying about what anyone else is doing. Concentrate instead on getting a grip on yourself.
What do you really want next? Think about it clearly and with as much focus as you can muster. Once you finally choose, it’s going to be a lot easier.
Wallowing in misery or hiding in whatever escape you feel most comfortable in won’t help for much longer. In fact, it’s likely to bring you down instead.
Pull up those boot straps and decide what’s next. The only real way to feel better is to start taking action. There’s lot’s to do, get going!

The Moon moves into Leo today and stays there until Friday.
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.

#9 – The Hermit
You might find yourself wanting to spend some time alone today. It’s probably a good idea. Take time to look within and see what’s up inside your soul.
Have things been moving pretty fast lately? Don’t worry, it’s finally going to slow down a bit, giving you a moment to clean house and tie up loose ends.
Trust your own experience through this period. It’s through an examination of your own personal journey that you’ll discover your inner wisdom. You probably know a lot more then you give yourself credit for. But you might need some silence to notice.
Give yourself permission to be quiet. You won’t be missing anything by taking a break. It’ll only make things more fun when you finally re-emerge from your cave.

Empress as Devil
Venus is moving into Capricorn and will stay there until January 3rd.
From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the Empress is dressed in the Devil’s clothing. Hairy and winged, she’s trying out a darker look.
Venus in Capricorn, or the Empress in the Devil’s clothing is a time of creative intensity and physical manifestation.
Focus on getting things done and making them real, but do so with compassion for yourself and others.
Pushing through a task without connecting to it on an emotional level, or with an eye to the beautiful, will only lessen the value of what you create.
Celebrate and love with passion, but try not to chain yourself to anything for too long.

You’ve worked hard for your keep, with discipline and perseverance. Physically, some important goals are finally being achieved.
You’re moving towards a place where you feel more at ease, towards a practical stability. The fruits of your labour can now be recognized and finally enjoyed.
Take some time today to quietly congratulate yourself. You’ve worked hard and deserve what you’ve received. Though the road hasn’t always been easy, developing patience and inner strength will prove well worth it.

Tarot readers should definitely not act like this, but it sure made me laugh. Take a look at this very funny video by Kate Lane called Choose the Right Tarot Card …

#17 The Star

#17 – The Star
Optimism and rejuvenation are the themes for the day. Active generosity and compassion come easy so don’t hold back. Give and you will receive.
Embrace the Universe’s capacity to provide you with what you need when you need it most. That’s what miracles are and the Star is the goddess of miracles.
If things have been tough lately, now’s a time when you can finally lean back and take a bit of a break. Surround yourself with as much beauty as you can. It will help to replenish your soul.
Art, music, and the glory of the night sky are all worthy subjects of meditation. Let them fill you with the inspiration you need for the next leg of your journey.

The Moon moves into Cancer today, and stays there until Wednesday.
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.

#8 Justice
Sunday, December 7, 2014
#8 – Justice
Today’s themes are balance and justice. It might be time to stand up or into your own authority by being strong, sure and most importantly, just. This isn’t the time to play around and think you’ll get away with not doing your share. On the other hand, if you do the work required, the Justice energy is happy to reward you.
Have you been playing fair? It’s not so much about the mundane rules as it is about the bigger universal justice. And it’s not necessarily about ‘work’ per se, but rather the energies that you’ve been putting out there. Are you speaking up for what you believe in? Are you taking responsibility for your own life? Do you help others as you might expect them to help you?
What you send out is what you’re likely to get back. This is karma in action and it’s generally quite profound. On days when the Justice card appears, the karmic force is typically more obvious than usual. Look around and see if you can find it.
Take time to rebalance yourself, and if possible, find some time to get out into nature. It usually puts things into perspective pretty fast. Think carefully about your next move. It’s what you’ve already done that has brought you to where you are now. What you do next will determine what you’ll be reaping in your future. Try to make it something good for everyone.
