#8 Justice
Sunday, April 7, 2013
#8 – Justice
Today’s themes are balance and justice. It might be time to stand up or into your own authority by being strong, sure and most importantly, just. This isn’t the time to play around and think you’ll get away with not doing your share. On the other hand, if you do the work required, the Justice energy is happy to reward you.
Have you been playing fair? It’s not so much about the mundane rules as it is about the bigger universal justice. And it’s not necessarily about ‘work’ per se, but rather the energies that you’ve been putting out there. Are you speaking up for what you believe in? Are you taking responsibility for your own life? Do you help others as you might expect them to help you?
What you send out is what you’re likely to get back. This is karma in action and it’s generally quite profound. On days when the Justice card appears, the karmic force is typically more obvious than usual. Look around and see if you can find it.
Take time to rebalance yourself, and if possible, find some time to get out into nature. It usually puts things into perspective pretty fast. Think carefully about your next move. It’s what you’ve already done that has brought you to where you are now. What you do next will determine what you’ll be reaping in your future. Try to make it something good for everyone.

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

#18 The Moon

#18 – The Moon
Things might seem a little dark today but don’t despair. It’s always night before it’s day. The moon card represents this darkness before dawn.
You might be challenged to face your fears, or at least name them so you can see whether they’re really as powerful as all that. Things often seem a lot scarier in the dark than they do the next day.
Try taking some time today to really explore those things that you usually shy away from. Psychic energy is especially strong and it will be well worth your while to find some silence and listen carefully to your inner voice.
Secrets and mystery, hazy half-truths – they’re all part of the moon’s power. How you feel might prove to be more informative than what you see. Pay attention to the shadows, it’ll be light soon.

On a recent TarotSpotting walk through the alleys in town, I came across a great Ace of Wands for the Graffiti Tarot …
I also saw this fabulous Cat of Cupcakes, who might serve well as the Page of Cups.

Gather and celebrate! It’s a day to enjoy what you’ve been working on. The project might not yet be finished, but at least you’re on your way. Well done! You have reason to smile.
Follow your passion and create from the heart. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how it will all turn out, just keep at it. The hard work’s been paying off, and you can take a moment to enjoy before heading on to the next step.
But don’t forget, you probably aren’t doing all the work yourself. Share the glory or you’ll be hearing about it later.

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.

#17 The Star

#17 – The Star
Optimism and rejuvenation are the themes for the day. Active generosity and compassion come easy so don’t hold back. Give and you will receive.
Embrace the Universe’s capacity to provide you with what you need when you need it most. That’s what miracles are and the Star is the goddess of miracles.
If things have been tough lately, now’s a time when you can finally lean back and take a bit of a break. Surround yourself with as much beauty as you can. It will help to replenish your soul.
Art, music, and the glory of the night sky are all worthy subjects of meditation. Let them fill you with the inspiration you need for the next leg of your journey.

In Tarot, the final card in the Major Arcana is most often called The World, or in the case of Aleister Crowley and Frieda Harris’ Thoth Tarot, the Universe.
The World, or Universe card, can represent a culmination of events, and an exciting return to being whole.
It reflects a connection with the grander scheme of existence, and an enlightenment that serves as reward for the long journey through the Major Arcana from the Fool to Judgment.
When it appears in a reading, it’s most often a joy, and indicates a chance to catch your breath and have a good time before jumping right back in and starting again at zero.
I like to think of the Universe card as a step back into the ether from which the Fool first emerged.
It’s the celebratory dance with the divine after a long haul through the muck of daily life, a chance to float with the stars, at least for a short time.
And though I love what the World, or Universe, represents in Tarot, what science has to say about it is at least as enchanting.
Take a look at the MinutePhysics video below to see how physicists might describe the 21st card of the Tarot deck.

#6 The Lovers

#6 – The Lovers
Are there choices to be made? Decisions you’ve put off for another time? Well this is the time. The Lovers card asks us to finally make up our minds – either commit or get out now.
On a personal level, the Lovers reminds us to balance the opposites within ourselves. Are your ying and yang in sync? Does your conscious experience compliment your unconscious dream state or do they seem at war? Are you living a life that satisfies your soul?
Heavy questions, but this is a great day to think about them. In fact, you might find it difficult not to.
This is a serious commitment you’re thinking about. To help you make up your mind, ask yourself which direction brings you closer to your soul’s call. You probably already know the answer.
