The Empress in the Lovers' Angel's Clothing - Venus in Gemini

Venus moved into Gemini and will stay there until July 31st.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit is like the Empress is wearing the clothes of the Lovers’ Angel. She’s switched out her robes and grabbed some wings.

Venus in Gemini, or the Empress in the clothes of the Lovers’ Angel, is a fantastic time to commit to someone or something you love, or care about greatly. The blessings of Mother Earth are on side.

Assuming of course, you’ve explored all aspects of the issue, be they romantic, familial, professional or academic.

The Lover’s might be in love, but they’re no fools. They insist on looking carefully before they leap.

And during this time, we’re all encouraged to do so as well.

Explore everything that makes up the sensual world. Take part in life. Revel in it even. Then give some serious thought to all that you’ve experienced.

Learning more about the magic of the world won’t break its spell. It’s beauty will only become more awesome through educated eyes.

Tarot Card of the Day #2 High Priestess

Saturday, July 5, 2025
#2 – The High Priestess

This is a good day to give your spirit some serious attention.  Take a little time by yourself to think about what it is that you believe.  What do you think of the world and your place in it?  What ultimately gives your life meaning?

It’s also a good time right now to pay attention to the messages other people have been sending you.   Let yourself absorb the world around you without feeling the need to jump in right away and take action.  This is a better time to sit and receive than to act.

Observe, listen and think about what it is you’re doing.  Through reflection you’ll start to see all sides.  Through this wider perspective you’ll find the priorities and direction that can help you on your path.

Moon in Scorpio – High Priestess in Death’s Clothing

Moon in Scorpio – High Priestess in Death’s Clothing

The moon moves into Scorpio today and stays there until Sunday.

If you translate this transit into the Tarot, you could say that the High Priestess is dressed as Death. She’s in the midst of a great transformation.

The Moon in Scorpio, or High Priestess in Death’s clothing, suggests a time when feelings run deep. The ability to end relationships that don’t work, or release stagnant emotions is accentuated.

If there’s a situation in your life that’s nearing its completion, especially if it’s emotional or relationship-oriented, this might be a good time to let it go. At least explore it with emotional clarity.

This isn’t a time to be afraid, but rather a time to face your fears with equanimity and intelligence.

You’ve got what it takes. Don’t back down from the scary stuff.

Tarot Card of the Day - Queen of Disks by Georgianna

Friday, July 4, 2025
Queen of Disks

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.

My Favourite Deck

The other day I wrote a myth-busting post about how one might store one’s Tarot deck. In the process, I took a picture of one of my own decks and the box I made to contain it.

I liked the picture – so I drew it. Here’s my Thoth Tarot in its box, with a couple of crystals …

Tarot Card of the Day 4 of Disks by Georgianna

Thursday, July 3, 2025
4 of Disks

Money might be tough to come by, while time is even more precious. Wherever you look, though, it seems like someone else is asking for more. The tendency here is to gather yourself and your resources and go off alone to think.

Go ahead and do that if you’d like, but try not to get yourself too closed off. You probably have more than you think you do. Maybe even enough to share.

If you’re being asked to spend on something that will help establish an even firmer foundation than you presently have, give it some serious thought. It might be more than you had anticipated, but the pay offs are probably well worth it.

Extravagant or foolish spending is not recommended, but remember the old adage – it takes money to make money. If you don’t put it out there, be it actual money, your physical effort or something else you consider really important, nothing’s coming back.

This is true about your emotions as well, don’t hold them too close to the chest. Be generous with your heart. Remember, you get what you give.

Card Compare – 8 of Swords

July 2nd, 2025 § Comments Off on Card Compare – 8 of Swords § permalink

Today’s Tarot Card Compare looks at 3 versions of the 8 of Swords.

The first card is from The Medieval Scapini Tarot by Luigi Scapini. The second is from The Shining Tribe Tarot by Rachel Pollack . And the third card is from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith.

How are themes of constriction, mental interference, and an inability to move forward expressed in each image? How are they similar? How is each unique?

In the Medieval Scapini, the connection to the Major card #8, Justice, is particularly evident, while the RWS version hints at emotional murkiness with the water puddles on the ground.

The Shining Tribe’s woman divining seems a little different than the other two, replacing the overbearing swords with birds circling around a volcano. Could it be saying that communication restricted will one day explode?

Take a look and see what you think.

Tarot Card of the Day The Magician by Georgianna

Wednesday, July 2, 2025
#1 – The Magician

Were you thinking of starting something new? This is the time to do it. The energy of The Magician encourages you to start fresh.

Look around – I bet you have all the tools you need for this new enterprise. It’s only up to you to start making things happen.

Name your goal and start listing the steps you need to get there. Especially important is that first step. It can be big or small – just take it! You’re at the very beginning right now, don’t let the long journey ahead dissuade you from going forward.

You can’t go back, so what the heck? Focus on what it is you want to achieve and you can make anything happen.

Beware though, don’t try fooling yourself or others, there’s no need for deception. It will only lead you down the wrong road right from the start. Stay true to your plan and keep yourself focused.

You can do what you need to without resorting to trickery or lies. It’ll work out much better in the long run if you stick to the truth.

Moon in Libra – High Priestess in Justice’s Clothing

Moon in Libra The High Priestess in Justice's Clothing

The Moon moves into Libra today, and will stay there until Friday.

Looking at this transit through the lens of the Tarot, it would be like the High Priestess is wearing Justice’s clothing. She takes on the mantle of the Karmic Decider.

With the High Priestess as Justice, or the Moon in Libra, we might be required to face up to something and decide.

Our emotions will demand respect. If we’ve leaned too far back or forward, we’ll probably find ourselves moving just as dramatically the other way.

It can be a slightly challenging period, perhaps a little manic. But by the time it’s done, something is likely to have been decided upon.

Don’t be alarmed by conflicting emotions. They’re there because you can see both sides. It’s not good enough though to just acknowledge them and walk away.

During this transit you’re being asked to take a stand one way or another. And you’ve got the wisdom and power to do so.

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.
