High Priestess in Chariot's Clothing

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

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.

High Priestess dressed as Lovers' Angel

The Moon moves into Gemini today and will stay there until Saturday.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Lovers’ Angel. She floats above the naked couple, blessing their sacred union.

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.

But it can also be a time of clarity, honest communication and almost intuitive understanding about yourself and those around you.

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.

High Priestess in Hierophant's Clothes

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

If you look at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Hierophant. She’s sitting before two acolytes and sharing the secrets she usually guards.

The Moon in Taurus, or High Priestess in the Hierophant’s clothes, is a time of spiritual and emotional certitude.

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.

High Priestess dressed as Emperor

The Moon moves into Aries today and will stay there until Monday.

Translating this transit into Tarot Cards, it would be like the High Priestess is wearing the Emperor’s clothing. She’s in scarlet and armor and is ready for battle.

The Moon in Aries, or High Priestess in the clothing of the Emperor, is a time of intensified emotions. You might feel an increased desire to shape your own world.

Rather than sitting back in stillness, this transit encourages the loosening of emotional restrictions and the conscious expression of enthusiasm and/or passion.

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.

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

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.

High Priestess in Star's Clothing

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

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.

High Priestess as the Devil

The Moon moves into Capricorn today and will stay there until Monday.

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.

The Sun as the Devil

The Sun moves into Capricorn today, and will stay there until January 20th.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the Sun child is dressed as the Devil. He’s gotten hairy and has gone underground.

In his element, the Sun is joyous exuberance unfettered by boundaries. He’s made it beyond the wall and is victorious after a long dark journey.

Everything is open now, there’s nothing to hide. He bares it all and asks us to do the same.

The Sun’s lesson is to celebrate and to laugh. Each morning is new and each day another chance to enjoy and live fully.

The Devil has a very different energy about him. He’s dark and somber, some might even say scary.

He’s an obsessive type, engaged fully in the material world. He’s physicality at its most profound, holding issues of spirit at arm’s length.

The Devil likes control and boundaries, and doesn’t trust the light in anyone’s hand but his own. He promises to get things done, but he has to be the one in charge.

The Sun has fun everywhere he goes, even the Devil’s lair. He lightens it up a bit, and gets everyone smiling.

The Sun in Capricorn, or the Sun dressed in the Devil’s clothing, is a good time to look at areas in your life that feel restrictive, whether from the outside, or from within.

If you feel chained, unchain yourself. But if you like your chains, then just enjoy. Be aware though that you’re the one to choose.

Serious play, or structured freedom is also highlighted during this transit. And that makes sense with the holidays.

You might not be working at your regular job, but you’re not completely free either.

There’s an obligation to celebrate, whether you want to or not. And since that’s the case, you might as well dive in and enjoy this time for all it’s worth.

Work hard and play hard, but try not to take any of it too seriously.

High Priestess as Temperance

The Moon moves into Sagittarius today and will be there until Saturday.

Looking at it through the eyes of the Tarot, you can describe this transit as being like the High Priestess 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.

Empress as the Star

Venus moves into Aquarius today and will be there until January 14th.

If we look at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it would be like the Empress is wearing the Star’s clothing. In other words, she’s thrown off her robe and is in the nude.

The Empress is profoundly feminine. She’s the great mother of the Tarot, the one who gives birth to the real world and all we find in it.

She is compassion and love, beauty and harmony. She breeds luxury around her and bounty for all.

The Empress teaches us to nurture and receive, and to create from our heart. True external beauty grows first from within.

The Star shares the Empress’ compassion and gentle spirit. She too is always there to nurture, calm, and replenish the soul.

Her focus though is on what’s been shattered, what needs healing and renewal. She’s the light in the dark, ready to console, and give hope.

The Star is grace, perfect balance, and love. Even in the deepest night, it’s always bright around her.

The Empress isn’t so sure about the Star’s fondness for nudity, but she fully enjoys any and all opportunities to nurture.

Venus in Aquarius, or the Empress being as naked as the Star, is a wonderful time to give and receive love.

It’s a love beyond romance or sexuality. It’s a deep compassion and empathy for everyone and everything.

This is a great time to recognize not only our own hurts and scars, but those of others as well. Offer emotional support where you can, and be open to accepting it in kind.

And if there was a better time to visit a spa, I can’t think of one.

Let yourself heal and hope. Whatever’s gone on before, there’s a beautiful new day soon to come.
