The Hanged Man in the Moon's Clothing

Hanged Man dressed as the Moon

Neptune moves into Pisces tonight and stays there until 2026. That’s right 2026, this is a slow moving planet.

Looking at this transit from a tarot perspective, it’s like the Hanged Man is dressed as the Moon. He’s dangling in the dark.

The Hanged Man is about patience, sacrifice and new perspectives. Nothing needs to be rushed and there’s nowhere to go.

He wants you to see things differently than you’re used to. And to do so you have to take some time out from the bustling turmoil.

The Hanged Man chooses to be where he is. Turning things upside down might be uncomfortable at times, but without some inversion, there’s ultimately no balance.

The Moon is darkness, mystery and the secrets of the night. It’s daytime in reverse, a time when shadows reign.

Instincts become more valuable than rules, and dreams more real than consciousness.

The Moon reflects the light, like a mirror or the ocean. It distorts and reconfigures what’s familiar. Sometimes in ways that make us afraid.

The Hanged Man doesn’t mind being here. He’s intrigued by the shadows, amused by how they transform what he sees.

Neptune in Pisces, or the Hanged Man in the Moon’s clothing, is a good time for spiritual exploration. It’s easier to be open when all boundaries have melted.

During this period it’s useful to pay attention to recurring thoughts, symbols and dreams. If an idea keeps presenting itself, take a closer look.

And don’t be afraid to turn your ideas around, facing them from a different angle. Emotional and intellectual flexibility can be rewarding.

Be still, watch and listen. We’ve got a long time with this one. With patience, enlightenment can shine bright in the dark.

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.

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.

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

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.

Mercury in Aquarius – Magician Dressed as the Star

Mercury in Aquarius, the Magician Dressed as the Star

Magician as the Star

Mercury moves into Aquarius today, and will stay there until February 14th.

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.

The Magician is a communicator and master of initiation. His clear expression of new ideas is inspirational, and he gets us thinking like few can.

His world is one of big concepts and pure ideals. And his dreams are fresh and unsullied by the intrusion of practical details.

It’s the Magician’s determined will and unflinching focus that gets things started. And all the tools of life are at his command.

The Star is much more quiet. Her communication is subtle, dreamy, and less intellectual than emotional.

After times of chaos or shattered hope, she inspires us to renew and refresh. Her soothing presence can heal with just a wish.

The Star hides nothing, though her language is often one of symbols. She stirs up the unconscious to let us dream again.

The Magician isn’t used to being quite so gentle, but he’s happy to turn his attention to bringing a quiet light to 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.

It might be uncomfortable at first, but allow yourself to speak out loud. Take steps forward to let people know what you know and what you love.

Try to remain objective and open-minded while acting with determination and direction. It might sound impossible, but you can do both if you try.

Moon in Pisces – High Priestess in the Moon's Clothing

High Priestess dressed in the moon's clothing

The Moon moves into Pisces today, and stays there until Friday.

Described in Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Moon.

She’s lost her material body and has disappeared into the celestial body that usually rests at her feet.

The Moon in Pisces, or High Priestess dressed as the Moon, is a time of increased perception, ill-defined understanding and what might be described as night vision.

During this time you could find your dreams feel more real than your daylight hours and what’s not said is louder than what is.

Fears might grow like a boogieman under the bed, but if you just take a peek, they’re as likely to be dust bunnies as demons or ghosts.

Be still, aware and fearless. It might be dark outside, but if there was ever a time you can navigate the unknown, this is it. Listen, breathe, flow.
