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.
July 6th, 2025 § Comments Off on Moon in Sagittarius – High Priestess in Temperance’s Clothing § permalink
The Moon moves into Sagittarius today and will be there until Wednesday.
Looking at it through the eyes of the Tarot, this transit is like the High Priestess is 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.

#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.
July 5th, 2025 § Comments Off on Venus in Gemini – Empress in the Clothes of the Lovers’ Angel § permalink
Venus moved into Gemini and will stay there until July 31st.
From a Tarot perspective, this transit is like the Empress is wearing the clothes of the Lovers’ Angel. She’s switched out her robes and grabbed some wings.
Venus in Gemini, or the Empress in the clothes of the Lovers’ Angel, is a fantastic time to commit to someone or something you love, or care about greatly. The blessings of Mother Earth are on side.
Assuming of course, you’ve explored all aspects of the issue, be they romantic, familial, professional or academic.
The Lover’s might be in love, but they’re no fools. They insist on looking carefully before they leap.
And during this time, we’re all encouraged to do so as well.
Explore everything that makes up the sensual world. Take part in life. Revel in it even. Then give some serious thought to all that you’ve experienced.
Learning more about the magic of the world won’t break its spell. It’s beauty will only become more awesome through educated eyes.

#2 – The High Priestess
This is a good day to give your spirit some serious attention. Take a little time by yourself to think about what it is that you believe. What do you think of the world and your place in it? What ultimately gives your life meaning?
It’s also a good time right now to pay attention to the messages other people have been sending you. Let yourself absorb the world around you without feeling the need to jump in right away and take action. This is a better time to sit and receive than to act.
Observe, listen and think about what it is you’re doing. Through reflection you’ll start to see all sides. Through this wider perspective you’ll find the priorities and direction that can help you on your path.
July 4th, 2025 § Comments Off on Moon in Scorpio – High Priestess in Death’s Clothing § permalink
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.

Queen of Disks
It looks like you may have set yourself up just right. You’ve created the space you’re in through determined effort and hard work.
Step by step you’ve manifested your own prosperity and this is a wonderful time to enjoy it. It hasn’t always be easy but the rewards are well worth it.
Be generous with your prosperity, and kind to those that haven’t quite done it yet. People might come to you for practical advice or help. Or maybe it will be you taking that step to approach a kindly soul who could help you.
Don’t hesitate either to help or to ask for help. We’re here for each other and create the most beautiful of worlds when we work together.
July 3rd, 2025 § Comments Off on My Favourite Deck § permalink
The other day I wrote a myth-busting post about how one might store one’s Tarot deck. In the process, I took a picture of one of my own decks and the box I made to contain it.
I liked the picture – so I drew it. Here’s my Thoth Tarot in its box, with a couple of crystals …

Money might be tough to come by, while time is even more precious. Wherever you look, though, it seems like someone else is asking for more. The tendency here is to gather yourself and your resources and go off alone to think.
Go ahead and do that if you’d like, but try not to get yourself too closed off. You probably have more than you think you do. Maybe even enough to share.
If you’re being asked to spend on something that will help establish an even firmer foundation than you presently have, give it some serious thought. It might be more than you had anticipated, but the pay offs are probably well worth it.
Extravagant or foolish spending is not recommended, but remember the old adage – it takes money to make money. If you don’t put it out there, be it actual money, your physical effort or something else you consider really important, nothing’s coming back.
This is true about your emotions as well, don’t hold them too close to the chest. Be generous with your heart. Remember, you get what you give.
July 2nd, 2025 § Comments Off on Card Compare – 8 of Swords § permalink
Today’s Tarot Card Compare looks at 3 versions of the 8 of Swords.
The first card is from The Medieval Scapini Tarot by Luigi Scapini. The second is from The Shining Tribe Tarot by Rachel Pollack . And the third card is from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith.
How are themes of constriction, mental interference, and an inability to move forward expressed in each image? How are they similar? How is each unique?
In the Medieval Scapini, the connection to the Major card #8, Justice, is particularly evident, while the RWS version hints at emotional murkiness with the water puddles on the ground.
The Shining Tribe’s woman divining seems a little different than the other two, replacing the overbearing swords with birds circling around a volcano. Could it be saying that communication restricted will one day explode?
Take a look and see what you think.
