High Priestess in Hierophant's Clothes

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

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 Friday.

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 Wednesday.

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 Sunday.

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 Friday.

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.

Mercury moved back into Leo today, and will be there until September 9th.

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, and for part of the time, he’ll be going backwards.

Mercury in Leo, or the Magician in Strength’s clothing is a time of energetic and potentially exciting communication.

Ideas can be expressed with enthusiasm, and it’s worthwhile to share. You can inspire others, and be inspired right back.

Watch out for boasting though, and keep to the straight and narrow when you tell a story. It’s easy to get carried away when the sun’s shining and everyone seems to be smiling.

Be inspired, clear, and focused. But please note, until August 26th, Mercury will be retrograde. It’s sort of like the Magician is running backwards.

Communication and travel are especially prone to mix ups, and with Strength’s energy involved, the results can be dramatic.

It’s nothing to be afraid of, just remember to check your schedule twice, and try to think before saying anything that might cause a stir. It’s hard to take things back once they’re out.

And on a more positive note, it might be a good time to catch up with old friends. Wherever the Magician looks, he sees something interesting, and right now, he’s looking back.

High Priestess as Temperance

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

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.

The moon moves into Scorpio today and stays there until Sunday.

If you translate this transit into the Tarot, you could say that the High Priestess is dressed as Death. She’s in the midst of a great transformation.

The Moon in Scorpio, or High Priestess in Death’s clothing, suggests a time when feelings run deep. The ability to end relationships that don’t work, or release stagnant emotions is accentuated.

If there’s a situation in your life that’s nearing its completion, especially if it’s emotional or relationship-oriented, this might be a good time to let it go. At least explore it with emotional clarity.

This isn’t a time to be afraid, but rather a time to face your fears with equanimity and intelligence.

You’ve got what it takes. Don’t back down from the scary stuff.

Tower Rides the Chariot

Mars moves into Cancer today and will stay there until September 19th.

From a Tarot perspective, it would be like the Tower is taking a ride on the Chariot. Lightening might strike, but the Charioteer just keeps moving forward.

The Tower is a wild card, wild in the sense that there’s no telling how it might play out in our lives. It’s always a surprise, though not always welcome.

It shakes things up and gets us back to basics. It shatters the walls we build up around ourselves.

Freedom can arise from chaos, and often that’s what the Tower brings. Liberation through the destruction of what we once thought to be solid.

Freedom is important to the Chariot as well, though it’s typically less dramatic. The Charioteer likes to be on the open road, free from restraint and able to move as he wills.

He’s a warrior, armoured and powerful, able to keep his back strong and his courage steady. He’s not without emotions, he just keeps them to himself.

The Charioteer is perseverance personified. He won’t give up till there’s no road left to travel.

When the Tower appears, it’s usually a little uncomfortable, and when it’s travelling with the Chariot it can be like a tornado on wheels.

But the Charioteer’s less bothered by turmoil than most. Travel at the best of times can be chaos, and he’s a traveller extraordinaire.

Mars in Cancer, or the Tower taking a ride on the Chariot can be a period of powerful change, it’s movement that can seriously alter your direction.

Travel might be less predictable than usual, and it’s likely that unexpected circumstances will get you rethinking plans in general.

Don’t be afraid to change course if suddenly your first path is blocked. There’s a great deal of energy available now. Use the push to get things really happening.

Stay armoured, but keep moving. It could be an exciting time.
