Last week I posted about Robert Place’s new New York Lenormand Oracle Cards. In the post, I mentioned that Place is the creator of The Alchemical Tarot, one of my all time favourite decks.
As it turns out, while working on his new Lenormand cards, Place has also been re-working his Alchemical Tarot and is now ready to print a 4th edition of these fabulous cards.
To see the new deck (each of the cards has been reworked and renewed), visit The Alchemical Tarot: Renewed Four project page. There you’ll find images of all the cards, and a description of what’s changed since the last printing.

What a wonderful day. You feel open and loving and willing to let the world know – at least if they ask. You might not feel like running out and embracing everyone you see, but there’s a sense of contentment and well-being that’s impossible to ignore.
This is an excellent time to enjoy and share. Be generous with your feelings. There’s really nothing to fear in letting people know you care.
Give as you can and laugh out loud as much as possible, even when you’re alone. It may have been some time since you’ve felt this good. Enjoy. You deserve it.

The Moon moves into Aquarius today and stays there until Thursday.
Described in Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Star. In other words, her robes are gone and she’s naked as the bird in the tree behind her.
The Moon in Aquarius, or High Priestess in the Star’s clothing, can sometimes be emotionally stressful. Hope may be in the air, but it’s a cautious hope.
Emotionally you feel like sharing, bubbling over with dreams for the future. But your mind keeps getting in the way, reminding you that dreams can sometimes be nightmares.
Try not to spend what could be a nice time double guessing yourself or listing off all the reasons things could go wrong. They might. But they probably won’t.
Be real, but not a wet blanket. Rather than smothering your dreams, direct them with intelligence.

The Sun moves into Aquarius today and will be there until February 18th.
Looking at this transit from a Tarot perspective, it would be like the Sun child is dressed as the Star. He’s as naked as he ever was, but now he’s a lady, and up past dark.
The Sun in Aquarius, or the Sun dressed as the Star, is a time of active grace, perfect for healing and emotional renewal.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to dream, and to allow yourself a ray of optimism, especially if the going’s been a little rough lately.
Trust yourself, and the universe. It’s not out to get you. In fact, it wants to help.
Find your flow and don’t be afraid of letting your feelings spill out. You might have needed to for a while now.
And if there was ever a time to wish upon a star, this is it. She’s listening.

#11 – Strength
Learn to direct your inner wildness during this period of fiery intensity and your personal power is likely to grow. Innocence and purity work together to balance your passion with wisdom.
Explore ways to act assertively but without aggression. The gentle touch might go a lot further than a loud voice or an impetuous rage.
It’s a very creative time and you’re encouraged to allow yourself room to flourish. Don’t be shy. This is the moment to take action and move forward with plans you may have held off on until now.

In Tarot, the 2 of Disks is all about change, harmonious change that flows easily forward as one detail after another is taken care of.
In the Rider Waite Smith version of the card, this idea is expressed through the image of a juggler who keeps his disks in motion with great dexterity and what appears to be little effort.
I couldn’t help but think of the 2 of Disks while watching Ravi Fernando not only juggle a Rubik’s Cube, but solve it while juggling. Unbelievable!!!
And as if that’s not impressive enough, click here to see him juggle and solve three cubes at the same time!!!

Physically things will likely be pretty good today. You’re probably feeling strong and have enough of everything that you really need. You might even have more than enough and can give some away.
If you do, take advantage of this period to be generous. You’ve done wonderfully in building your world, see if you can help someone else do the same.
Prosperity and stability are highlighted. Enjoy the fruits of your labour. It’s been your steady steps and sometimes less than exciting work that has brought you to where you are. Good work.

The Moon moves into Capricorn today and will stay there until Tuesday.
If you were to describe this transit using the Tarot, you might say that the High Priestess is wearing the Devil’s clothing. The virginal goddess has gotten downright beastly.
The Moon in Capricorn, or High Priestess in the Devil’s clothing, is a period of potential internal conflict. The physical world might seem to draw you away from what you typically believe to be right.
You might feel driven or compelled by behaviours and attitudes that go against the grain of your morality. It could be liberating or disturbing, depending on your secrets.
Whatever’s going on though, don’t be too hard on yourself. Get obsessions out of your system, and learn what you can about yourself while you do so.
You should be ready to move on soon. There’s nothing wrong with a little focused physicality. Just don’t get stuck.
