The truth is an important commodity right now. Getting through the fog and cutting out that which no longer works is a priority.
You might be feeling a little hardcore, a little less sympathetic to sob stories and other tales of woe than usual. That’s all right. Sometimes it’s more important to be clear than to be sweet.
Get the job done and do it with the determination, diligence and discernment that you expect from others.
Keep in mind though that the bigger picture includes compassion. You need not be cruel or mean to be truthful and serious.
Not everyone is as tough-skinned as you are right now, so be aware of the potential effect your words might have.
It’s more political than it is oracular, but the episode of Rap News by The Juice Media posted below is kind of funny.
It’s an entertaining and irreverent look at the hoopla surrounding the year 2012, making fun of both the ‘mystics’ and the ‘realists’.
Will the end of the Mayan calendar mean anything more than the end of our own calendar every 365 days? I doubt it.
Though I expect it’ll be an interesting year ahead, I don’t think that the world is facing an apocalypse, at least no more than it normally is.
The card I pulled when I asked about 2012 was #7, the Chariot.
It suggests change, but that we’re moving steadily forward. This card often recommends working hard and persevering with determination.
It’s not an easy energy, but it’s one that indicates strength and a willingness to keep going.
After all is said and done, the Charioteer typically represents victory. Primarily because he doesn’t give up when he hits a rough patch on the hi-way.
Let’s all have as smooth a ride this year as possible.
And if we see anyone needing help by the side of the road, why not give them a hand.
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.
It looks like you may have set yourself up just right. You’ve created the space you’re in through determined effort and hard work.
Step by step you’ve manifested your own prosperity and this is a wonderful time to enjoy it. It hasn’t always be easy but the rewards are well worth it.
Be generous with your prosperity, and kind to those that haven’t quite done it yet. People might come to you for practical advice or help. Or maybe it will be you taking that step to approach a kindly soul who could help you.
Don’t hesitate either to help or to ask for help. We’re here for each other and create the most beautiful of worlds when we work together.
The Aces in the Tarot are all about new beginnings. They’re the seeds of the four suits in the deck, the very first inclination of an energy about to be born.
The Ace of Wands is the first spark of life. It’s new passion, new fire, and the core of all spirit.
The Ace of Cups is new love. It’s emotion at its most fresh, sweet and pure.
The Ace of Swords is new direction, innovation, focus, and communication.
And the Ace of Pentacles is the new seed of what’s real. You can experience it with your senses, and as an Ace, it’s still ideal.
I wish everyone all four Aces for 2012!!
May you start the year full of new spirit, new ideas, new love, and a solid grounding for all your new projects.
It’s a day to dissolve the fog and start looking at things with fresh and honest eyes. With a commitment to clarity, new ideas and a new sense of authority will be close on the horizon.
Take things in hand and energetically start slicing through any fuzziness you’ve not wanted to look past till now. Are you happy with what you’re seeing? If yes – go forward with strength. If not, figure out what you actually want, re-direct yourself towards it and go forward with strength.
In either case, you need to see things for what they really are before you can intelligently decide what your next step might be. This is no time to fool yourself. It’s a time to take charge, be realistic and be strong.
