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.

Moon in Aries – High Priestess in the Emperor’s Clothing

High Priestess dressed as the Emperor

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

Translating this transit into Tarot cards, it would be like the High Priestess is wearing the Emperor’s clothing. She’s in scarlet and armour 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.

Tarot Card of the Day 3 of Wands by Georgianna

Tuesday, November 12, 2024

Waiting and watching will probably be a bit of a preoccupation today.   You’ve begun the process and have done all you can for the moment.

This might be a good time to review the steps you’ve taken so far.  Make sure that you’ve got yourself balanced before the real journey begins.

Virtue is likely to be a key concept.  Virtue here means being true to yourself within and between all your layers – mind, body and spirit.

Are your emotions in line with your thinking?  Are you acting in a way that accurately reflects you’re beliefs and feelings?  Explore these questions and relax.  Your ship will arrive soon.

Venus in Capricorn – Empress Dressed in the Devil’s Clothing

Venus in Capricorn, the Empress in the Devil's Clothing

Venus just moved into Capricorn and will stay there until December 7th.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit would be like the Empress is dressed in the Devil’s clothing. Hairy and winged, she’s trying out a darker look.

Venus in Capricorn, or the Empress in the Devil’s clothing is a time of creative intensity and physical manifestation.

Focus on getting things done and making them real, but do so with compassion for yourself and others.

Pushing through a task without connecting to it on an emotional level, or with an eye to the beautiful, will only lessen the value of what you create.

Celebrate and love with passion, but try not to chain yourself to anything for too long.

The reckoning’s done and it’s finally time to dole out the rewards.  Have you done your fair share?  Are you ready to accept what’s due?

Success is coming to those who have done what they can to manifest their goals.  It may seem like manna from heaven but look again – it’s more likely compensation for a job well done.

And don’t forget to thank those who have been helping you. We’re never alone in either our successes or our failures.

Moon in Pisces – High Priestess Dressed as the Moon

Moon in Pisces - High Priestess in the Moon's Clothing

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

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.

You’ve worked hard for your keep, with discipline and perseverance.  Physically, some important goals are finally being achieved. 

You’re moving towards a place where you feel more at ease, towards a practical stability.   The fruits of your labour can now be recognized and finally enjoyed.

Take some time today to quietly congratulate yourself. You’ve worked hard and deserve what you’ve received.  Though the road hasn’t always been easy, developing patience and inner strength will have proved well worth it.

The Lost Tarot – a book review

November 9th, 2024 § Comments Off on The Lost Tarot – a book review § permalink

The Lost Tarot by Sarah Henstra and Tangello's sweet little kitty feet and tail

It’s not part of Georgie’s Magic Card Collection, but it is part of my Magic Book Library, and it is Tarot themed … The Lost Tarot by Sarah Henstra, published in 2024 by Doubleday Canada.

5 Points About This Book

  1. Genre: The Lost Tarot is a novel, fiction, not a how-to guide on how to read Tarot (but it’s good anyway!)
  2. Chapter Titles – Tarot anchors the book with chapters running from the Fool through the World, finally ending with the Fool again.
  3. Themes: Not only does the story of The Lost Tarot swirl around Tarot themes, it also features a couple of my other obsessions – cults and art. Not to mention, two of the main characters are from the University of Toronto … my own alma mater. If you were putting together a novel that I might be interested in – this one is almost too on point …I love it
  4. Story: Tells the story of a search for a surrealist Tarot deck thought to be either a fake, or mostly burnt up in a terrible fire. It’s a fabulous tale taking us from Toronto to England to Wales, and across time from 1938 to today… through cults, galleries, psychedelic trips, and university politics. The Lost Tarot explores the idea of what it means to be a Seer.
  5. Tarot: Not much actual Tarot reading in the story (I think there was a three card spread in the Devil chapter), but some of the cards being searched for are described. Wow, I’d love to have a copy of the Ringold Tarot (the name of the deck in the book). I wish they’d made one as a companion piece… sounds gorgeous, if not a little disturbing.

All in all, I think Tarot enthusiasts (and non-enthusiasts alike) will really enjoy The Lost Tarot. Plenty of unexpected twists and some absolutely beautiful imagery. And of course, underneath and above it all, the inspiring magic of Tarot.

Tarot Card of the Day 4 of Wands by Georgianna

4 of Wands

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.

Tarot Jokes – Tarot and AI

November 8th, 2024 § Comments Off on Tarot Jokes – Tarot and AI § permalink

I tried ChatGPT again today … this time to see if it could come up with some clever Tarot jokes.

My Prompt: As a Tarot expert and master comedian, tell three Tarot jokes …

Answer: Here are three tarot-themed jokes for a tarot expert with a flair for comedy:

  1. Why did the Fool bring a ladder to the tarot reading?
    Because he heard he might be pulling the Tower card and wanted to get a head start!
  2. What’s the Hermit’s favorite kind of music?
    Soul searching tunes!
  3. Why did the Magician break up with the High Priestess?
    She had too many secrets, and he just couldn’t make them disappear!

Hmmmm …

So I tried again.

My New Prompt: Tell me three good tarot-themed jokes as told by a popular comedian tarot expert

Answer: Here are three tarot-themed jokes, delivered in the style of a witty tarot expert with a comedian’s flair:

  1. “I went to a tarot reader the other day, and she pulled the Death card…I freaked out! She said, ‘Relax, it’s just transformation.’ I said, ‘Cool, cool. So my bank account is transforming into something bigger, right?’ She pulled another card… ‘Five of Pentacles.’ Guess not.”
  2. “People say tarot readers can see the future, but let me tell you: I once predicted I’d go on a juice cleanse for a month… Then I pulled the ‘The Devil’ card… And bam! Two hours later, I was knee-deep in pizza rolls!”
  3. “When I first got into tarot, I thought I’d always pull the ‘Sun’ card – you know, success, joy, abundance. But after a few readings, I realized my spirit guide’s just trolling me with the ‘Tower’ card. Every. Single. Time. Now I’m like, ‘Can I at least get some popcorn before the chaos?’”

Hmmmm. Probably funnier than my jokes would be, but still … I don’t know.

The experiments will continue. Stay tuned.
