Lightening Strikes the Hierophant

Mars moves into Taurus today and stays there until May 31st.

Looking at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it’s like the Tower’s lightening has struck the Hierophant’s throne. And his acolytes are tumbling down.

When Mars moves into Taurus, and the Hierophant’s stone throne is struck by lightening, we might find that what we thought was certain, no longer seems so obvious.

Belief structures might shift, and rules that used to make sense might now feel outmoded.

Old ways of seeing the spirit, religion or traditional structures are all up for review. As could be our perceptions about who really has moral authority.

Don’t be afraid of letting tradition for tradition’s sake fall away. And if an idol or two falls with it, that’s all right too.

It might be a bit chaotic for a moment, but this is your chance to find faith in yourself. Use it as an opportunity to start being your own last word.

Tower as Emperor’s Throne

Mars moves into Aries tonight and stays there until April 20th.

Looking at this transit from a tarot perspective, it’s like the Emperor was sitting in his castle just as the lightening struck. His stone throne is exploding.

Mars in Aries, or the Tower as the Emperor’s throne, is likely to be an exciting time. What you thought would never change suddenly does.

It could just be a way of seeing things. Old ideas are shattered and inspiration to begin afresh becomes overwhelming.

Or things might really be changing. New circumstances present themselves without warning and the way you were approaching a situation no longer works.

Destroy inertia and create a new world for yourself. This is a time of great power.

Potentially challenging, yes. But also a chance to take charge in your life like you never thought possible.

Mars moves into Pisces today and will stay there until March 12th.

In the language of the Tarot, this transit could be described as the Tower’s lightening striking the dark landscape of the Moon. Its night sky has become unexpectedly bright.

When the Tower’s lightening appears, it usually does so with little notice, but with a great deal of energy. It’s fast, bright, and somewhat shocking.

The fire it ignites is strong enough to topple kings, and make solid structures seem like sand.

The Tower asks us to let go, and we might as well listen. Sometimes it’s safer to leap than to languish.

The Moon on the other hand, moves more slowly, and is certainly less decisive.

It’s dreamy and unclear, mysterious and mostly silent.

Under the Moon’s gaze, feelings make more sense than words, and instincts are more dependable than logic.

Though the Moon isn’t particularly comfortable with the Tower’s sudden flash of fire, there’s no denying its energizing effect.

Mars in Pisces, or the Tower’s lightening striking the Moon, is a great time to stir up the muck and start recharging.

Though you might rather avoid new ideas, situations, or even people, doing so could cost you the opportunity to see something more clearly than you had before.

Pay attention to flashes of sudden psychic insight you might experience, and don’t shy away from looking your emotional fears straight in the face.

Though new perspectives might throw you for a bit of a loop, you’re going to be fine. Follow your instincts and you’ll stay on path.

Mars moves into Aquarius today and will stay there until February 2nd.

Through the eyes of the Tarot, this transit is like the Tower striking around the Star. A shot of fiery energy has made its way into the night garden of the goddess.

The Tower is a powerful source of change. Its lightening strikes and the sky ignites giving us the chance to see things from a very different perspective.

And though shifting foundations can certainly be disturbing, they can also open doors to freedom, and a new way of organizing our lives.

The Tower breaks down old concepts of authority and asks us to be in charge of ourselves. It’s a call to action, and one that’s not easy to ignore.

The Star, on the other hand, is typically quite peaceful, a calm respite after changes brought on by Tower-like disruptions.

Her focus is on emotional stability and physical nurturance. She is hope and serenity, peace, and faith in the future.

The Star gains her strength from compassion, and a willingness to bare truth and love for all to see.

And though she’s quite comfortable quietly doing her own thing, the Star’s more than capable of handling a lightening bolt or two.

Mars in Aquarius, or the Tower’s lightening striking around the Star, might be described as a time of energized benevolence.

It’s easier now to see how much we have in common with our neighbours, and how extending kindness beyond our usual circle of loved ones is good for everyone.

Let situations that might normally surprise, or even upset you act as opportunities to open up to more compassion, not shut it down.

It’s a fabulous time right now to amp up our empathy, and to set universal love on fire.

Mars moves into Capricorn today and will stay there until December 26th.

Looking at this transit from a Tarot point of view, it’s like the Tower’s lightening is striking the Devil’s lair.

When the Tower appears, it always bring surprises with it, especially for those who think they’ve got things under control.

It’s not causing trouble for trouble’s sake, but when ideas or situations become too entrenched to grow with change, the Tower swoops in to clear the air. It’s not always pretty, but it always gets things moving.

It’s important to remember though, that the Tower does provide an enlightenment of sorts, it’s just one that usually comes from out of nowhere, and can knock you off your feet for a moment.

Unlike the Tower, the Devil is usually quite stable, or at least he likes to think he is. As long as he controls the chains, he’s happy to keep things as they are.

It’s all about the physical with him, the tangible and the real. The material world is his domain and he maintains an obsessive watch over it all.

The Devil needs to be careful though, not to become too oppressive. If he keeps trying to run the whole show, there’s always a chance he’ll face a rebellion within the ranks.

And the Tower’s appearance can cause just such a challenge. When the lightening strikes, all the old rules are out the window.

Mars in Capricorn, or the Tower’s lightening striking the Devil’s lair, can be a time of powerful recharge.

If you’ve been stuck in an oppressive mindset, or in a situation where you’ve felt a lack of control, this is an excellent time to positively mix things up.

There’s a chance now to let go of rigid thinking and to break free of rules, self-imposed or otherwise, that serve only to dominate rather than to guide.

Be open to sudden illumination, and willing to take charge of your own material domain. You might not control everything, but you do control yourself. Don’t give your power away.
