Magician as the Moon
Mercury moves into Pisces today and will stay there until April 14th.
From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the Magician is wearing the Moon’s clothing. He’s all but disappeared except for his face.
Mercury in Pisces, or the Magician in the Moon’s clothing is a time when it’s possible for the unexplainable to be explained, or at least demonstrated more consciously than usual.
Use this time to connect with your unconscious, or those areas in your life you keep most hidden from even yourself. Then journal about it, blog, or talk with people you trust.
Dreams are likely to be a rich source of inspiration, and psychic communication enhanced.
Be wary though of silver-tongued story-tellers trying to convince you to buy something in the dark. It’s best to wait till day, and to look over the goods in the light.

Magician as the Star
Mercury moves into Aquarius today, and will stay there until February 5th.
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.

Magician as Temperance
Mercury moves into Sagittarius today and will stay there until December 31st.
Looking at this transit from a Tarot perspective, it’s like the Magician is wearing Temperance’s clothing. His cape has turned into wings and he’s playing with water.
Mercury in Sagittarius, or the Magician in Temperance’s clothing, can be a time of balanced inspiration.
It’s great for expressing ideas that might normally seem too big to consider. Give them some thought, you never know what you’ll come up with.
Issues or situations that seemed impossible to figure out might suddenly come together, as if by divine inspiration.
But really it’s clear vision and a good dose of faith that’s probably at work. Direct it with will and you can make miracles happen.

Magician dressed as Death
Mercury moves into Scorpio today and will stay there until December 11th.
From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the Magician is wearing Death’s clothing. He’s in black armour and riding a white stallion.
Mercury in Scorpio, or the Magician in Death’s clothing, is a good time to concentrate on cycles of change. Use them to inspire, rather than to bring you down, or rehash the past.
With all that’s changing, where do you want to focus next? This is a fabulous time to think that through, clear away any stagnant emotions, and start redirecting yourself towards the future.
It’s easier during this period to talk about what’s passed, even if it usually makes you sad. Reminiscences can be fertile soil for new ideas, and clarity of mind protects against letting things get too sappy.
Surrender with your mind wide open, and don’t be afraid to get deep. Transformative miracles most often start with the magic of the awareness.

Magician as Justice
Mercury moves in Libra today and will stay there until October 5th.
Looking at this transit from a Tarot perspective, it’s like the Magician is wearing Justice’s clothing. He’s put down his wands and taken up the scales and sword.
Mercury in Libra, or the Magician in Justice’s clothing, can be a time of intellectual clarity, quick decisions, and balanced inspiration.
Use it to make the choices that have seemed cloudy till now. Arguments on both sides should be clearer, and what’s right for you apparent.
Questions of fairness and balance are highlighted, especially within matters of communication, travel, relationships, and the law.
Be inspired, stable and clear, and the world’s ruling will be in your favour.

Magician as Hermit
After a return visit to Leo during the retrograde, Mercury moves back into Virgo today, and stays there until September 16.
Through the eyes of the Tarot, this transit is like the Magician is wearing the Hermit’s clothes. He’s left his garden and is trekking through the snow.
Mercury in Virgo, or the Magician wearing the Hermit’s clothes, is a time of intense internal clarity. You know what you know, and can see it with fresh eyes.
It’s a good time to clear out stale old perspectives. Shine light on your inner wisdom and don’t be afraid to let others know what you’ve found.
There’s a tension now between the old and the new. Use it to dig through past ideas and experiences. Not for nostalgia’s sake, but in order to figure out what’s worthy enough to revitalize, and what might as well be discarded.

Magician as Strength
Mercury moves into Leo today and stays there until September 1st.
Looking at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it would be like the Magician is wearing Strength’s clothing. He’s still floating his lemniscates, but now he’s wearing a dress.
Mercury in Leo, or the Magician in Strength’s clothing is a time of energetic and maybe even exhilarating communication.
During this cycle, it’s easy to express your ideas with enthusiasm, and you’re encouraged to do so. Don’t be shy, but try not to walk all over anyone else’s sunshine.
Watch out for ego talk, either from yourself or others. Everyone likes a good storyteller, but boasters are less welcome.
Let yourself be inspired and your desires be clear and focused. When innocent passion is directed by an intelligent will, the possibilities are infinite.

Magician as the Lovers’ Angel
Mercury moves into Gemini today, and stays there until June 7th.
Looking at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it would be like the Magician has taken on the clothes of the Lovers’ Angel. He’s put down his tools and put on some wings.
Mercury in Gemini, or the Magician in the Lovers’ Angel’s clothing, is a time of quick thinking and brilliant communication.
It’s a great opportunity to exchange ideas, share thoughts, open hearts and let yourself think things you might not have ever before.
You don’t have to commit to anything you’re not ready for. But if you do decide on something, it’s a good time to get as educated about it as you can. If ever there was a time to learn something new, this is it.
From the Magician’s ‘I will,’ to the Lovers’, ‘I do’, this is a call to take your ideas to the next step.
What is it that you’d like to do? If you’re really serious, try it now.
