High Priestess dressed as Emperor
The Moon moves into Aries today and will stay there until Monday.
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.

#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.

Do it now! It’s a fantastic day to get going on whatever project (especially a new one) you’ve been thinking about. Opportunities abound for you to finally move forward with your plan.
Don’t be afraid if you think you can’t do it? You’ve been spending plenty of time thinking about it. Look close, you’ll see you have all you need to make it work.
The only thing that will slow you down is doing things the same old way. Start fresh now. You’re ready to go.

The Moon moves into Pisces today and stays there until Friday.
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.

This is a day to take your time and think things through – calmly and quietly. Trust your inner voice and let silence be your friend. There’s probably a lot of emotion behind your thoughts these days. Try to keep balance.
Make sure you’re not overthinking things. It’s all about listening to both your logic and your intuition. Both have something to say to you right now. Try not to let your emotions sweep you away or your thoughts crush you down. You’ll know what to do when you need to do it. No need to act right now, just sit.
Mental peace is the energy you’ll discover in your quietude. Keep still. Keep calm. Your thoughts may be heavy, but you’re more than strong enough to hold them.

If you’re in the market for some beautiful occult themed jewelry, you might want to take a look at the video below by Bona Drag Jewelry and The Wild Unknown.
From Apparition and Ouroboros rings, to Pentagram cuffs and Pyrite pendulums, they’ve got it all.
And The Wild Unknown Tarot cards are pretty nice too …

You’ve been working hard and the people that matter are starting to take notice. Take pride in doing a good job.
You’re becoming a master at your trade, and mastery requires not only technical skill, but also an appreciation for the art in what you do.
When you care about your job or the tasks you’ve taken on, the work involved is rarely a chore. Look at your tasks as the creative processes they are.
Whatever you’re doing, you’re creating something, bringing something new into the world. Consider your role as creator with the seriousness it deserves.
You’re becoming very good at what you’ve been working hard on. Congratulations, keep it up.

Sun as Strength
The Sun moves into Leo today, and stays there until August 22.
If we look at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it’s like the Sun Child is dressed in Strength’s clothing.
He’s traded in his horse for a lion, and has thrown on a light gown.
The Sun in Leo, or the Sun dressed in Strength’s clothing is a time to shine. Even if you want to hide, there won’t be many dark corners to crawl into.
Creative energies are high, as is the confidence to share what you create.
Don’t be shy. As long as you keep your ego in check, it will be hard to go wrong.
Let openness and enthusiasm rule whatever it is you’re engaged in. There’s a lot of power in play, so enjoy.

Venus moved into Virgo today and will be there until August 16th.
From a Tarot perspective, this transit is like the Empress is wearing the Hermit’s clothing. She’s out in the snow, wearing the robes of a monk.
Venus in Virgo, or the Empress in the Hermit’s clothing is a good time to examine the parts of yourself you normally keep under wraps.
Take the opportunity to look carefully at the experiences you’ve been accumulating. Shift through your own inner shadows, and be unafraid to face whatever you find.
Compassion towards yourself and others will help heal both fears and sorrows, while introspection can provide creative insight you may not have thought possible.
And with all this seriousness, don’t forget to enjoy yourself. There’s as much to celebrate in the dark as there is in the light.
