High Priestess as Strength

The Moon moves into Leo today and stays there until Sunday.

Translated into Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is wearing Strength’s clothing. She’s thrown off her heavy cape and is spending some time outside with her lion.

The Moon in Leo, or High Priestess in Strength’s clothing is potentially a time of emotional power. Something beautiful that’s usually under wraps can finally be revealed.

The silence is broken. Quiet wisdom and passion can be united. During this time, it might be difficult to keep your ideas to yourself. But why should you?

Try finding an outlet for plans you’ve been sitting on? This is an opportunity to shine if you’re not over-burdened by self-consciousness.

It might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but letting your wilder side out right now could be positive. The sun isn’t always shining. Take advantage of it when it does.

High Priestess in Chariot's Clothing

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

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.

Try not to coddle yourself. You can only win if you have the courage to play to the end.

Tower Strikes Strength

Mars moves into Leo today and will be there until November 11th.

Looking at this transit from a Tarot perspective, it would be like the Tower is tumbling around Strength and her lion.

The Tower is a surprise, an unexpected change that gives you no time to prepare.

It’s a powerful force that rips down everything in its path with the shocking speed of a wildfire on grass.

Though the changes the Tower brings might be unsettling, they’re typically liberating, freeing us from stagnant behaviours and thought patterns.

Strength is full of fire herself, though she likes it contained and within her control.

Though unassuming in her white robe and floral head-dress, she’s a force to be reckoned with.

Creative, enthusiastic, and courageous, she won’t step back from a challenge. And she’s not afraid to take up arms for a battle she believes in.

When lightening strikes and the Tower falls, Strength is someone you might want by your side. She’s well able to take charge when the going gets wild.

Mars in Leo, or the Tower falling around the Strength’s feet can be a time chaos contained.

Tempers might flare as unexpected situations arise, but you have the power to deal with pretty well anything that comes up. Just believe it and keep going.

See if you can harness the high energy to really make a difference, positively shaking up your life to get it more in line with your spirit.

Don’t fear change, embrace it and see how strong you really are.

High Priestess dressed as Lovers' Angel

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

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.

Empress as Justice

Venus moves into Libra today and will be there until October 9th.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the Empress is wearing the clothes of Justice. She’s gotten tough and taken up the sword.

The Empress is about creation and abundance. She encourages play and wants to shower the whole world in joy.

She’s a hands on type mother, and maybe a little indulgent, but she knows the world can be tough. If she can provide her children with protection from what’s ugly and cold, she’ll do it.

And she’ll do it with style. The Empress is beauty in all its manifestations, and love fills everything she touches.

Justice, on the other hand is a little more hard-core. It’s not that she doesn’t love, but she’s more concerned that things are fair or right.

She insists on balance, clarity and respect for authority. Not the authority of the dictator, but the authority of a more universal law.

Rules are guides to ‘right living’, and can be very useful. But Justice is more than just rules, she’s the guardian of nature’s interplay.

She recognizes the power of a butterfly’s wings, and does her best to remind us all about the complicated relationships between cause and effect.

The Empress would rather throw a sumptuous dinner party than wield the sword of karma, but if hard decisions have to be made, at least she’ll make them with love.

Venus in Libra, or the Empress in the clothes of Justice, is a time of creative realignment, a chance to lovingly balance what’s most important in our lives.

Use this period to focus on what’s working for you, especially in terms of your relationships. Not only between yourself and others, but also between yourself and the activities you engage in.

Are they leading to the results you set out for, or might this be a good time to prune back, and/or fertilize particular areas of your life’s garden.

No need to be harsh, in fact, it’s best to be gentle, but being decisive is important. With a clear mind and compassionate heart, you’ll know what you have to do next.

High Priestess in Hierophant's Clothes

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

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 Thursday.

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 Tuesday.

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.

Magician as Hermit

After a return visit during the retrograde, Mercury moves back into Virgo today, and stays there until September 25.

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.

The Magician has inspirational power. He’s focused, clear, intent on his goal. And he gets others excited about it with him.

He’s a master communicator, spinning words like silk, able to convince anyone of pretty much anything.

The Magician is quick, fresh, and eager to discover where his next idea leads. If it gets dull he moves on. There are infinite possibilities, no need to get stuck in anything that doesn’t inspire.

The Hermit, on the other hand, is an old man, wise and slow. He’s not at all concerned with being quick, fresh or starting new. He’s much more interested in digging in and seeing what he’s already got.

His wisdom comes from experience, earned day by day through a long life. Nothing much surprises him. He’s seen it all, both within himself, and in the world outside.

The Hermit’s a solitary walker, though not at all unfriendly. If you’re interested in where he’s going, he’s happy to have you along.

But he won’t push, and isn’t particularly interested in convincing you of anything, except maybe to look within yourself to find what you need.

The Magician has to really slow down when he’s dressed as the Hermit, and it’s not always easy for him. But he likes the meditative atmosphere of the mountain, and is confident he’ll leave it knowing something more about himself.

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.

High Priestess in Star's Clothing

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

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.
