High Priestess dressed as Lovers' Angel

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

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 Tuesday.

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 Saturday.

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.

Lightening Strikes the Lovers' Angel

Mars moves into Gemini today and stays there until August 3rd.

Looking at this transit from a Tarot perspective, it’s like the Tower’s struck the Lovers’ Angel. The heavens are shaking. Are the Lovers about to go for a tumble?

The Lovers are naked, open and vulnerable. They’ve courageously exposed themselves in their quest for truth.

The Lovers yearn for union, desiring to commit to one another under the blessings of the divine.

They understand what it means to say ‘I do’ because they’ve looked at all sides before making their decision.

Once they’ve finally chosen, they’d like the world to know what they’ve done. And they’re happy to be the ones to share the news.

The Tower, on the other hand, is about dissolution rather than union. It shakes things up so that they’re never quite the same again.

A bolt of lightening from out of nowhere – it could be a blast of inspiration or a revelation that we’d rather not have had. Either way, it motivates us to action.

The Tower sees no difference between a fortress and a prison. Both are easily brought down with a little fire from the sky. And usually not much can be salvaged from the blaze.

The Tower probably wasn’t what the Lovers were hoping for when they planned their day of union. But if there were ever a couple flexible enough to cope, it would probably be them.

Mars in Gemini, or the Tower striking the Lovers’ Angel, can be a time of disruption in relationships, and mental attitudes. Commitments you thought were sturdy, might suddenly not seem so solid.

But paradise lost could actually mean freedom from choices that no longer satisfy.

New information and circumstances can ultimately lead to expansion of the mind and a deepening of commitment. A new solidity can be established, but the foundation is likely to shift.

Look at this period as a challenge to be as open-minded as you can. Ideas will likely be flying fast and furious. Options you hadn’t considered might soon seem quite reasonable.

Go with the flow. Liberation and illumination are possible. Not despite the chaos, but because of it.

Sun Dressed as the Charioteer

The Sun moves into Cancer today, and stays there until July 23rd.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the Sun is dressed as the Charioteer. He’s put on some armour and exchanged his horse for a chariot and a couple of sphinxes.

The Sun is sunshine. He’s enthusiasm, joy and visibility. He’s warmth, freedom and victory.

He’s a child who’s not really a child, but a soul that’s been on the road for a very long time, and his destination is finally in view.

The Sun only seems young in that he’s open, unattached and looking to play. But if we look a little deeper, we see that he’s actually the source of life, the innocent infinity within us all.

The Chariot has also been on the road a while. But when the Charioteer travels, he shields himself from the sun with his starry canopy, and wears reflective moons as his lapels.

He’s a soldier, capable of both aggression and defense. He’s carried forward by the power of his convictions, and by commitments he made back home.

The Charioteer doesn’t give up. He’s determined to complete whatever task is before him, and he typically does it well.

The Sun is always up for adventure, so he feels all right in this position. Though forced to cover up more than he’s accustomed to, he’s enthusiastic about getting out on the road.

The Sun in Cancer, or the Sun dressed as the Charioteer, is a time when the fight might not seem as important as the journey. And it might be more productive to play a little than to battle.

It’s a period of strength, vitality and the will to succeed. Use it to push through emotional blocks, or attitudes that may have been holding you back.

And get back to work on any projects you’ve been letting languish. Perseverance should be the word of the month.

But try looking at what you have to do as a game, rather than a taxing burden. As long as you keep playing, you’ll be winning.

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

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 Monday.

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.

Magician as Charioteer

Mercury moves into Cancer today, and stays there until July 2nd.

If we translate this transit into the Tarot, it would be like the Magician is wearing the clothes of the Charioteer. He’s hit the road in some pretty snazzy armour.

The Magician is really good at getting things started. He’s a man of ideas and focused attention.

His inspirational thinking can move one to greatness, and his ability to manifest his will is unparalleled.

The Magician communicates with brilliance and can spin your head with how fast he can talk. He can convince you of anything, whether he believes it or not.

The Chariot can move pretty fast itself. And it moves with determination, like one’s will in motion.

The Charioteer is a strategist and a warrior. With careful planning, he’s willing to take on any battle, confident that few others have his ability to fight to the end.

Perseverance is one of his strong points, and he has the capacity to help others find their own power to keep going.

The Magician is okay in this position. He’s comfortable on the road, and can hold a sceptre as easily as a wand.

Mercury in Cancer, or the Magician wearing the Charioteer’s clothing, is an excellent time to turn your ideas into action.

Inspiration abounds, as does the strength to follow through on your commitments.

Don’t give up if the going gets tough, or communication gets murky. Just recalibrate and try again.

Clearly let others know what it is you need from them, but don’t wait around if they can’t help you.

A determined focus and the intention to move forward will get you to where you need to go.

Charge forward with faith in victory. Success is calling.

High Priestess as the Devil

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

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.
