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.

Tower Strikes the Hermit

Mars moves into Virgo today and will stay there until July 30, 2012. It will be retrograde from January 23 to April 13th.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit is like the Tower’s crashing around the Hermit and the night skies are on fire.

The Tower is raw power exploding from out of nowhere and shaking down everything in its wake.

It’s great for breaking through blocks and stale ways of thinking, but it can sure make things uncomfortable.

The Tower might be shocking, but at least if provides a chance to start fresh. Things that once seemed solid crumble like sand and it becomes apparent that they weren’t so solid after all.

The Hermit isn’t particularly keen on surprises. He’s slow moving and likes his fire contained.

He’s concerned with the inner realms, and spends a lot of time by himself just thinking. Wisdom is within, and it takes time alone to discover it.

The Hermit isn’t lonely or morose, just contemplative. He likes it where he is. And though he might not throw a lot of parties, he’ll welcome you if you drop by.

When the Tower shows up in the Hermit’s realm, it certainly messes with his routine, but he’s been through more than one shake up in his long life, and faces the commotion unruffled.

Mars in Virgo, or the Tower striking the Hermit, is a time to throw away your old routine and start building a new one.

A new perspective is almost certain to arise, and it’s likely to come from somewhere unexpected.

Don’t be afraid to look beyond your comfort zone, and don’t give up the details just because things around you seem chaotic.

It’s time to energetically reorganize and create a new plan of action that will be even better than before.

Stick with what you need to do and keep going. Things will calm down soon enough, and you’ll know so much more by the time it’s done.

High Priestess dressed as Lovers' Angel

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

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 Friday.

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 Wednesday.

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 Sunday.

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.

Empress as Temperance

Venus moves into Sagittarius today and will stay there until November 26th.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the Empress is wearing Temperance’s clothing. She’s changed her gown and has sprouted some wings.

The Empress is nurturing, kind, and creative. She looks for beauty everywhere. And if she doesn’t find it, she makes it appear.

She’s femininity personified, the grand mother of the cards, supportive, and powerful, and willing to fight for her young.

The Empress lives in luxury, reveling in the senses. Her world is lush and green. Everything around her is growing, bursting with life.

Temperance lives in lush richness as well, though instead of reclining, he’s up and about stirring the waters.

He takes nature past itself, and asks you to believe in the divine. Five senses aren’t enough for him. His third eye connects to a sixth. It must be the one that the angels use.

Temperance is balanced and calm, practical and peaceful. It’s not that he’s without fire, he just knows how to keep it even.

The Empress is very comfortable in this environment. It’s a chance to spread her wings and make a little magic.

Venus in Sagittarius, or the Empress in Temperance’s clothing, is a time of creative harmony.

It’s perfect for opening your heart and senses to the beauty around you. Things might feel more magical than usual, but it all comes down to perspective.

The magic of the earth is everywhere always, we just don’t always notice it. Right now though, it’s hard to miss. Enjoy and give thanks.

Use this time to balance your emotional and practical life. It could be easier than you think. Miracles are possible, but you have to open your heart to let them in.

Magician as Temperance

Mercury moves into Sagittarius today and will stay there until January 8th. It goes retrograde from November 24th to December 14th, so things might be upside down for a bit.

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.

The Magician is the master of his will, able to direct the universe with the focus of his thoughts.

He’s clear, quick, and an inspiration to be around. New ideas and fresh perspectives flow easily through him as he reaches beyond the limits.

He communicates without effort, rarely if ever at a loss for words. And he’s able to charm or curse with the flip of a finger.

Temperance is more concerned with the inner realms, focusing his energy on the magic of balance.

With one foot on the earth and one on the water, he’s able to remain upright, unconstrained by natural laws.

He’s dynamic but sure, and a master of emotional equanimity.

The Magician enjoys his time as Temperance. He appreciates the magic of the angels, and likes playing in new dimensions.

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.

High Priestess in Star's Clothing

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

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 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.
