ARIES:
King of Pentacles + Strength
Your leadership ability will be called into action this month, Aries. This can be a situation of managing your finances or managing “abundance” in any other area of life, including family and relationships. Leadership also requires self-discipline, so know that you need to “practice what you preach” this month in order to set a good example for others to follow.
The best way to lead will be through a gentle and compassionate approach. Strength will give you an opportunity to gently persuade others to your views. With a calm and kind approach, you will be an effective leader. Leadership is not about force or pressure – it’s about compassion. See how this makes a difference in your life this month and how much more cooperation you gain from others when you take this calm and gentle approach.
TAURUS:
Page of Wands + 3 of Swords
Taurus, you may feel very passionately about something (or someone) and are ready to impulsively dive in to new territory. But do be careful, as you could get burned!
Take your time, especially when learning new things or learning about another person. This month, you will be called upon to learn a lesson of value, and it’s always nicer when you don’t have to learn it through the school of hard knocks!
And if you have children, Taurus, know that they could test your patience. We’ve all heard the story of how little children step on our toes, and then when they get bigger, they step on our hearts. Be aware of what’s going on with your kids this month, because there may be an issue to contend with.
GEMINI:
8 of Pentacles + 6 of Cups
This is a time to focus on something of value, Gemini – and something you enjoy. You might be picking up a project or idea that gained its roots in the past, but for whatever reasons you had to let it go at that time. That may come back for your attention now, but it’s something that can be rewarding now.
Whatever you are working on, it’s something you can share with others. You and another may benefit from a particular project this month. You may be working on something in conjunction with another person, possibly even someone from the past. But whatever it is, it can bring you enjoyment. It can be like a gift to yourself and to others as well. All good things take time and work, so be patient and enjoy every step of your progress.
CANCER:
Hermit + Page of Cups
Someone needs your attention this month, Cancer. You may be focused in a different direction, so be sure to turn around every now and again and see what is going on around you. With the Page of Cups here, it may be a child who needs your attention or perhaps needs some wise emotional advice from you.
Your “alone time” might be important to you during May, but don’t spend all of your time alone and absorbed in your work or projects. If you let loose a bit, you may find a nice surprise that you would have missed otherwise. This is a time where you will need to carefully choose how and where to focus your time, effort, and attention. You want to make sure that you don’t miss the little things that might be more important than you realized.
LEO:
8 of Cups + Knight of Pentacles
This month may bring you an opportunity to move on to something else, Leo – perhaps moving from one job to another for some of you. There is something in your life that has gone as far as it can go and no longer brings you the joy or rewards that it once did.
This awareness can bring a bittersweet moment, but it can also take you to a new adventure as well. Be patient in this process, as it looks like you will be going through a “graduation” of sorts during May.
For some of you, this can literally mean a May graduation in the educational process for yourself, your kids, or your grandchildren. But it could also mean a transition for you as well where you seek a new adventure while maintaining a practical approach in the process. In other words, you can find more fun and enjoyment – and perhaps even more abundance when you finally let go of something that’s been holding you back.
VIRGO:
Reversed 9 of Swords + Judgement
Virgo, whatever has troubled you and caused upset is now coming to a head and clearing up this month. You will find that your worries have not helped anyway, and you can begin to find productive ways to deal with matters once again.
A new choice will enter the picture that brings a new opportunity or a new chance for you. Don’t be afraid to accept it. Don’t let past hurts or past mistakes get in the way of this chance to move ahead!
LIBRA:
Reversed 10 of Wands + Justice
Libra, you are carrying a heavy weight. Take a look at your many responsibilities, because it’s time to prioritize and delegate. What are you doing that someone else should be doing? You have enough of a load on your own without taking on the burdens and tasks of others – no matter how much your generous nature really wants to help others out.
The only way to find balance in a very busy life is to ensure that others are carrying their fair share of the load and not putting things off on you that they could and should be doing themselves. It’s time to balance the scales. See what obligations or commitments you can release, and then put the remainder of your responsibilities in a better perspective. It will feel great to get some of the weight off your shoulders!
SCORPIO:
Knight of Swords + 7 of Swords
Scorpio, things could get rather chaotic this month, so be prepared. You may be scurrying in a number of different directions and trying to do many things at once without enough focus.
But here is the downfall of this kind of activity. It’s not productive. It emphasizes quantity instead of the quality that needs to be there. It promotes unfinished tasks as well. Essentially, it robs you of enjoying a sense of pride for a job well done, because the quality starts lacking. It’s time to focus, Scorpio . . . and give yourself that real sense of pride that you should be enjoying.
SAGITTARIUS:
Queen of Wands + Reversed Fool
Sagittarius, you are trying so hard, and your efforts should be commended. You have the will and desire to accomplish big things. The problem is that you may be encountering yet another situation that says “back to the drawing board.” Some kind of false start may frustrate you this month. You aren’t getting back nearly enough for the efforts you are putting into something.
You may also need to find a way to lead your life so that you are not merely following the rest of the crowd. Think things through and don’t let impulses get you into trouble. Even if you are excited about something, ask yourself if it’s realistically doable or feasible for you. At the same time, don’t let fear hold you back either. Find the middle ground and try again, Sagittarius.
CAPRICORN:
4 of Swords + Lovers
Capricorn, you may have to lay low when it comes to love or partnerships this month. Take a step back and evaluate the choices in front of you. This is especially important for those “big” choices in life and love.
If you’ve been in conflict with a partner or you’ve just broke up with someone, this is all the more reason to step back and reflect. It’s not the time to be on the rebound in matters of love. Get things settled in your head, and then your heart will soon follow as well.
AQUARIUS:
6 of Wands + 8 of Swords
Does victory elude you, Aquarius? Well, a victory is possible for you this month, but you are going to have to make some difficult choices to get to that triumphant place you desire. Your victory this month will come through opening your eyes and going through a tough situation to come out on the better side of things.
You are not trapped, and you’re not without options, Aquarius – even though it may seem to be the case, because the options in front of you don’t seem all that desirable. But just know that there is a victory available if you are willing to do what it takes. It won’t come easy, as it will be a hard-earned victory . . . but it will be worth it, as such a victory will also take you out of a rut you’ve been in lately.
PISCES:
Star + Emperor
Make a wish, Pisces . . . and know that it can come true! You’ve got the Emperor on your side this month to back you up in making a dream or a wish become reality.
Know that making a wish is just a part of it. It sends that vibration out to the universe and sets the intentions of your desire. But you must also take the appropriate actions to help that wish manifest. You’ve got people in your corner who can help you, Pisces. Don’t forget to reach out to them when you need some help and guidance in your world.

Note: For this Forecast feature, I have used traditional Western Sun signs of the zodiac, but if you’re curious what your Vedic Astrology Sun sign is, check out the Vedic Astrology Sun Signs page and compare. If your Vedic Sun sign is different than your traditional Western sign, you might even see how information from both of the signs could apply to you – or perhaps one may be more prominent for you than the other.
Please keep in mind that the entries listed above could not possibly represent everything you will experience during the month, nor does it mean that two people of the same sun sign will encounter the same situations or energies.
What is presented for your enjoyment is a significant theme for the month you may see or relate to this month in one way or another. But it’s not the sum of the whole. It is, however, one important aspect or theme that the cards wish to bring to the attention of each Sun Sign.
Many Blessings,

This month, I’m using both Lenormand and Tarot to explore the forecasts for each of the Sun Signs in April. In addition to Pamela Colman Smith’s Commemorative Tarot, I’m also using the Lenormand Revolution by Carrie Paris and Roz Foster.
The Lenormand Cards will bring us the main theme for the month, and the first tarot card will tell us a little more about that theme; the second tarot card will offer a piece of advice or wisdom.
You can learn more about the Lenormand Revolution here:
http://lenormandrevolution.com/
And check out the Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative edition Tarot here:

Enjoy!
********************
ARIES:
Lenormand Theme – House + Sun
Tarot’s Wisdom – Reversed 10 of Pentacles + The Fool
Aries, there is luck and success with house, home, and family matters this month. If you’re looking to buy or sell property, this is a lucky time for those endeavors as well.
With that said, if you are looking to invest in property, or you’re trying to sell, be aware that no matter how much you want to sell or buy, you MUST consider the fair market value and make sure that everyone involved is getting value for money paid and spent.
The Reversed 10 of Pentacles tells us that there may be some hardships to overcome before you reach the success that is there for you. Losses could come before you see the success of gains that puts a brighter spin on the whole picture.
And this is true whether your issue is related to property, or whether it’s something in relation to your home and family life. In regard to family, you may see how the family unit is more closely knit when you spend less money and focus more on the people you love instead. Family values may come up for evaluation during this month.
The Fool advises you to keep an open mind. Don’t fight the process of change. Move with the flow instead of against it. Let go of any attachments to a predetermined outcome. Live in the moment of each day you are granted, and know that even when changes comes calling, it can be a good thing. Sometimes you have to trust more and worry less that everything will work out. If you spend all your time worrying, you could miss an important opportunity that you may have otherwise discovered. Something may require a bit of a risk this month, but if your ducks are all in a row, it could be a risk worth taking.
********************
TAURUS:
Lenormand Theme – Coffin + Anchor
Tarot’s Wisdom – 10 of Cups + 10 of Wands
Taurus, your job stability and security may be uprooted. The Coffin + Anchor can signify either a bad scare in relation to your work or an actual job loss.
The 10 of Cups provides us with more information on your theme for April, and this energy is in stark contrast to Lenormand’s message. It’s an indication that despite whatever happens on the job front, you and your family will be okay.
If there are some uncomfortable changes or endings with regard to job and stability, in the long run it may be what you really needed so that you aren’t stuck in a rut where you find yourself unable to grow, progress, or advance.
The 10 of Wands indicates that the burdens will be heavy this month in regard to work matters and the things you must deal with, so get some help where possible! Your goals are in sight, but you may have to carry that heavy load for a while, or you may have to take on a job you dislike until the upheaval is smoothed out.
There may be a lot of responsibility on your shoulders this month, Taurus, but ultimately it will be worth this temporary time of hardship. One thing is ending, but another one is beginning, and when the dust settles you can finally find peace and comfort in all of this.
********************
GEMINI:
Lenormand Theme – Child + Tree
Tarot’s Wisdom – 10 of Pentacles + 10 of Wands
Gemini, the Child + Tree says that you’ll want to pay attention to a child’s health this month. And for yourself, be aware of any new health problems that crop up.
This is likely to just be a time to be cautious, but certainly not paranoid, as the 10 of Pentacles confirms stability in health matters within the family. And for anyone who might be thinking of starting a family or adding to an existing one, this can be a great time to consider that!
The main thing for this month is to take care of yourself and your children. If it’s time for a check-up, make that appointment and enjoy peace of mind.
The 10 of Wands, as the advice card, suggests that there may be a hill to climb on some matter. For any of you Gemini ladies who are expecting, this can literally signify the birthing pains of bringing new life into the world.
For the sake of your health and to prevent the downfall of your projects and commitments, see where you can get some extra help. Decide on your priorities this month. What is most important? How can you manage your time that will also allow some time for yourself and time with the kids? An important goal is within reach, so don’t give up. Put one foot in front of the other, and you will overcome! Lighten up a bit this month, and see that there are a lot of good things around you.
********************
CANCER:
Lenormand Theme – Letter + Tree
Tarot’s Wisdom – The Star + Page of Pentacles
Cancer, you may receive some kind of health news or health-related notification this month. This could come in the form of a written prescription from your healthcare provider. It may even be news that it’s time for a check-up.
It’s also possible that you may have a day or so that you need to call in sick from work, and if so, you might require a written doctor’s note for your job – or the kids may need a written note to be out of school.
But not to worry, the Star indicates that there is light at the end of the tunnel. This card’s energy brings you calmness and the faith that everything will be all right. If you are taking care of your own health – or that of kids and family – there will be a reward of healing in the midst of those worries. The Star would remind you not to worry so much, as you will find that your worries were without merit, because all will work out nicely.
The Page of Pentacles asks you to be aware of details with regard to your health or that of loved ones. By paying attention to signs and symptoms, you are likely to get to the root of things in a timely manner – before you or others have a chance to feel worse. So you or loved ones can feel better sooner rather than later.
It’s definitely a month to be observant of your health and tend to those needs practically. Researching symptoms online is fine to educate yourself about health concerns, but don’t let that replace a need to see a doctor.
********************
LEO:
Lenormand Theme – Garden + Fox
Tarot’s Wisdom – Reversed Queen of Wands + Queen of Pentacles
Leo, you may be keeping company with the wrong crowd! You could be involved with a group of people who really don’t have your best interests at heart and are all wrong for you, even though you might not see it that way right now.
The Reversed Queen of Wands indicates that you may have to learn the hard way from experience, but if you can take a good look at the circles you participate in, you might be able to save yourself from getting duped, cheated, or otherwise lied to or manipulated – perhaps even “outfoxed” in a not-so-nice kind of way!
Someone in your life or associations may be pretending to be what they are not. Be aware of snarky attitudes that show narrow-mindedness, pettiness, selfishness, or jealousy. Those will be some really big flags to tell you something important about a person or group of people that you are involved in.
The Queen of Pentacles encourages you to “kill ‘em with kindness” when you encounter some nasty individuals this month. Even if you finally see someone for what they really are, you don’t have to bring yourself down to that level. This doesn’t mean you should continue participating in the group that’s all wrong for you and your standards . . . but it just means that you will choose to conduct yourself with grace and style. It will garner you respect from others as well – even if it’s not from the ones who are inflicting unfairness.
********************
VIRGO:
Lenormand Theme – Mice + Snake
Tarot’s Wisdom – 5 of Pentacles + Wheel of Fortune
Complicated losses may be a significant theme during this month, Virgo. It’s also possible that such losses may relate to or be caused by a woman who is lying or deceiving. You may find yourself consumed by problems during this time.
The 5 of Pentacles unfortunately doesn’t give us any better of a spin for the situation either. In fact, it confirms that you may be dealing with a hardship – and it could influence your financial situation. You may feel “left out in the cold,” or you could get scammed for money. Make sure to use caution if you’re shopping online with vendors you’ve never done business with in the past.
One of the things with this Tarot Five is that you do need to sometimes put aside pride and ego and look for the help that is available to you. We don’t usually like to ask for help, but if you can make yourself do it, that window of opportunity is there to help you get back on your feet again – especially with the Wheel of Fortune which advises you to what can help turn a situation around more favorably, even when that feels like taking a risk.
The Wheel of Fortune advises you to remember that even when times are tough and you are down, that wheel turns again to bring you to a better place. Know that choices and actions of the past are coming back to you now. And the choices you make now will also influence your tomorrows as well.
The 5’s of Tarot also portray a temporary situation, and the Wheel confirms this to indicate that you’ll get through this and things will look up again. It’s not going to be the end of the world, even though it may miserably feel that way while the harsher experiences are happening.
********************
LIBRA:
Lenormand Theme – Clover + Child
Tarot’s Wisdom – Page of Pentacles + Star
Libra, you’ve got a little bit of luck coming to you this month – or a new opportunity may be presented to you.
With the Page of Pentacles, this lucky opportunity (or even a second chance for something) could be related to money, a new job, learning, or some kind of educational opportunity. Pages of the Tarot can also signify children or birth.
Be alert for messages that come your way and try to grab your attention. You may find something significant as well by paying attention to details that you might normally overlook or skim over. Take your time this month and give yourself a chance to see how luck will be in your favor if you pay attention.
The advice of the Star is to believe that your dreams can come true. Listen to your inner wisdom and allow intuition to guide you. You’ve got to trust yourself to discover and embrace the opportunity that comes your way. Know that the more positive your outlook and plans, the better your prospects for success will be.
Better times are heading your way, Libra, and this will come, in part, through positive attitudes and creative solutions. If you’ve been in the midst of troubled times, this month’s message is indeed a lucky one for you to remind you that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and you are almost there! Something you wish for may come true! And in whatever way it arrives, it will be something you appreciate.
********************
SCORPIO:
Lenormand Theme – Whip + Book
Tarot’s Wisdom – King of Pentacles + The Empress
Scorpio, beware of the problems that secrets can cause this month! You may experience a conflict because of a secret – whether it’s your own secret or one that someone else is keeping from you. There may be private arguments that happen as a result.
The King of Pentacles suggests that such secrets and/or arguments could occur in the workplace, or it could happen around financial management with someone close to you. If you have information that someone else needs to know, then it’s time to come forward before it turns into an ugly mess – even if it means you have to ‘fess up to something you would prefer not ever reveal.
If you are in the position that you feel something is being kept from YOU, then it may be time to discuss such matters and start asking questions. Whatever is hush-hush probably impacts you in some way, and you need to know what it’s all about, as it could influence your own financial position or overall stability. As the King of Pentacles is also about leadership, it could be a secret regarding your position at work or your overall standing in a group or community.
The Empress advises, however, that you approach discussions with gentleness. Don’t jump into it with accusations from the beginning – because you’ll only get an angry response. Find the patience within you so that you handle such situations with unconditional love – especially if this happens to be a situation involving your partner. A calm approach will get you further than an angry one.
Additionally, no matter what you may find out, open your heart and be willing to forgive – especially if someone is genuinely sorry. And if you need forgiveness, ask for it with sincerity. Don’t wait for a situation to blow up to the point where someone can’t trust you – or where you can’t trust someone else. Honesty is always the best policy, even when it’s hard.
********************
SAGITTARIUS:
Lenormand Theme – Letter + Cross
Tarot’s Wisdom – Wheel of Fortune + Page of Pentacles
This month may bring news that is painful, Sagittarius. This could also come in the form of correspondence being halted where you had expected to hear something, but nothing is forthcoming. Either way, such “news” is burdensome.
With that said, the Wheel of Fortune does tell us that “no news is good news” in this case. While it may be troubling to get upsetting messages – or hear nothing at all . . . something is churning and turning to bring a favorable change. Despite that something may be unsettling for you and may not seem to be in your favor at all, ultimately it CAN work out quite favorably for you.
The winds of change are blowing in your favor, but it’s possible you might not be fully informed of the outside actions that are creating this. The lack of news or the unwanted news you get will not provide you with the whole story of what is happening behind the scenes. Just when you least expect it, beneficial change enters the picture of your story!
The Page of Pentacles, as the advice card, asks you to become a patient observer during this month. Pay close attention to details, and remain persistent and determined to reach your goals. Keep yourself educated on things, even if it seems you are otherwise left in the dark without information. Ask questions, listen, watch, and observe. You’ll learn what you need to know – and what you learn can be quite pleasing to you.
********************
CAPRICORN:
Lenormand Theme – Heart + Gentleman
Tarot’s Wisdom – Reversed Moon + Reversed Ace of Wands
Capricorn, if you’re a man, you may be in love. If you’re a woman, the Heart + Gentleman suggests the man that you love.
You may not know whether to trust this love you feel for another person. Something has likely been confusing, unclear, and rather murky. But the reversal of the Moon’s energy indicates that things are coming into the light for your awareness – and you won’t have to keep second-guessing yourself or the intentions of another person.
Now you can see things clearly for what they are – and not just look at situations of love and relationships through rose-colored glasses, as you may have been doing previously. Whatever truths you need to find out, the confusion is coming to an end, and secrets will be revealed. Depending on your individual circumstances, this could mean discovering that someone isn’t what you wanted after all . . . or it may mean that you finally know how you feel about someone and/or how that person truly feels about you. This knowledge will allow you to choose the next steps that will either bring you closer to that person . . . or allow you to move on.
The Reversed Ace of Wands, however, is like a “thumbs down” card, so for some of you, it’s going to be obvious that now is not the right time to get serious about a relationship in question. It’s not the time to rush anything before it’s time. If you try to push forward on something that is simply not ready or not right, you’ll only end up with crippled and ineffective results. This is true, whether love is on your mind, or something else of importance comes to your attention during this month.
********************
AQUARIUS:
Lenormand Theme – Gentleman + Letter
Tarot’s Wisdom – 8 of Pentacles + Reversed 9 of Swords
You may be sending a letter/message to a man or receiving news or a message from a man, Aquarius.
With the 8 of Pentacles, this letter or information may be related to work or a project of some kind. You could receive a letter of acceptance or confirmation, or perhaps it will be an invitation to participate in a project. This news can help you achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
If this goal involves money, the compensation might not be big in the initial stages of things, but it will have the potential to grow as your reputation and status become more well-known. If you are applying for studies in a college or university, this is also very good news for you – as you may hear positive news that puts you on target with your career goals.
The Reversed 9 of Swords indicates that this month will bring new hope and promise, so be ready for the sunshine to grace your world once again! You can look forward to brighter days, especially if you’ve been worried about things. Embrace the visions and ideas that will help you rise above any linger worries or concerns. Life is about to move forward once again!
********************
PISCES:
Lenormand Theme – Letter + Tree
Tarot’s Wisdom – Queen of Swords + The World
Pisces, your message this month relates to health notifications or possible written prescriptions. This could also mean a “sick note” from the doctor for you or child to be out of work/school. You may have a day or so in which you have to call in to work due to feeling under the weather or needing to see the doctor.
The Queen of Swords can indicate following through on checkups, physicals, and regular healthcare to ensure that you stay in good health – or regain your health. This is a month to focus on good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.
Pay attention to what your body is telling you, and if you feel that something may be wrong, listen to that inner wisdom and make an appointment with your healthcare provider.
The World would encourage you to find ways to reduce stress in your life as much as you can. Do you really need to worry about all the things that have been eating at you? Less stress will help you feel more lively and energetic, and a positive attitude will help you feel better faster if you’ve been under the weather. Good health isn’t just about your physical health, Pisces – it’s also about your mental and emotional health, too. So take care of yourself this month so that you can enjoy life and find the fulfillment that you are meant to have 
As you overcome any obstacles, difficulties, and disappointments you have had to face, it will be a good feeling to find positive resolutions for those issues. Things are coming full circle, and you need to be fully present to enjoy it – which means you need to feel good, too!

Question from Vicky: “What changes are coming up in my family’s economic well-being?”
King of Swords – The Tower – 7 of Swords
The Tower is one of those cards that forces us to sit up and take notice! And while I sincerely wish I could tell you that a nice improvement is up ahead, it looks like things will get worse before they can settle down and get better. It’s as if the slate needs to be completely wiped clean to allow you to create a fresh start in matters of economic concern.
The King of Swords is like your “ace in the hole,” Vicky! This tells me that you will have some important decisions to make. You will need to be strategic and look for what you are able to take control of in financial and economic matters. With the 7 of Swords, this may involve some serious cutting out of things you don’t have to have – which can understandably make you feel “cheated.” But this is very important, because the cards are showing us that you may have to cut your losses – and/or you will need to make some decisive cuts to work on improving the financial department of your life which will also impact your family as well.
For some people, the Tower in economics can signify a bankruptcy, or it may portray a serious debt consolidation. At the very least, Vicky, with the King on board here, the cards are asking you to find ways to take control through some tough decisions – before things explode around you. The Tower is an energy where it’s like the roof is about ready to blow on a situation. It’s something that you really can see coming and can look for ways to mediate or circumvent as much as possible. But if left ignored with just “hoping for the best,” things can fall apart – often prompting people to wonder what happened, when there were likely some signs along the way.
The sting can be greatly reduced if you make some tough decisions now to clear the path for a clean slate in whatever ways you can. The King of Swords shows us that there are some things for which you can control and work on to alleviate some of the Tower’s upheaval. Look for ways to create a fresh start, even though this can take some time to get through. Good decisions now can spare you a lot of upset – even though such decisions may not be easy ones to make.
Wishing you all the best, and many blessings!!

Question from Lola: “I am in love with a man I met a while back, but he lives in Houston. He is very into God and very focused on his business. He says that if God grants him me for him, he would be the luckiest man on earth. I want to know if he really does have feelings for me, or if he is just telling me what I want to hear. I feel such a connection to him that I have never felt for anyone before, and we have never met in person. Thank you so much for allowing me to participate!! God Bless You!!”
5 of Wands – The Hierophant – The Lovers
I have done this reading on the basis of a Feelings/Intentions/Advice layout.
The only real problem at present, Lola, is that the two of you haven’t met yet – and this needs to happen in a safe public place so that you both will have an opportunity to connect on an in-person basis to explore how you truly feel about one another. The 5 of Wands shows us that his feelings contain a struggle, and that may very well be because he hasn’t met you, nor have you met him. Until you and he actually meet, it will be hard for a relationship to come together on a genuine basis.
His intentions, however, seem honorable with the Hierophant. He seems to be a man who is ready to settle down. With this card, followed by the Lovers, he seems like a marriage-minded kind of guy. But again, to get rid of this struggle and confusion in the area of feelings, the two of you will obviously need to finally meet. But do consider doing this safely, Lola, when the opportunity arises.
The advice of the Lovers speaks of a choice to be made. Obviously there will be choices about when and where the two of you might meet in order to create the opportunities to truly get to know one another. This card encourages you to make healthy relationship choices. It encourages you and this man to find a way to meet to decide once and for all if you still feel the connection in-person as you feel across the distance.
This is something to pursue if you continue to be interested, Lola. But work on erasing the confusion of the 5 of Wands so that you can choose a clear direction that feels good for you. If you both feel the same upon getting to know one another in person, this relationship has the potential to become a solid one.
Many Blessings!

This month, I’m using the Rainbow Traveller’s Tarot deck by Carmen Waterman along with Tierney Sadler’s Deck of 1000 Spreads! The Deck of 1000 Spreads will provide a situation that will be explored through the beautiful Rainbow Traveller’s tarot cards.
In the book that accompanies Tierney’s Deck of 1000 Spreads, she offers many uses for these cards. You can even make up your own ideas! I have simply pulled, at random, two cards to use as a focus and topic for 2 tarot cards for each sign.

********************
PISCES:
What to Use in the Future – 6 of Pentacles
Partner – 6 of Swords
Pisces, the focus for you this month involves how you can utilize past-gained assets in the way of partnerships to help you get the most from the partnerships in your life this month and beyond!
The 6 of Swords is showing us a partner of some kind in your life – it could be work, love, friendship, or some other association. You may find that you want to know more about this person in order for the partnership to either evolve or be released, whichever may be the case. Honesty with this person is going to be of utmost importance in order to learn whatever you need to know about him or her.
But how do you find out about this person? How do you get them to talk to you on a more personal or intimate level? The Six of Pentacles speaks of give and take. The more generous and open (and genuine and honest!) you are with that person, the more he/she will trust you to open him/herself up and talk.
Think of a past partnership or association where someone was finally willing to trust you and talk to you. Return to the skills you used to help that person be straightforward with you. Perhaps you didn’t realize how well you did in communicating with that individual, but there was something of value there that you can once again apply to a current partner in your life – whether it’s a love partnership, a work association, or some other form of partnership.
********************
ARIES:
Friends and Family – 4 of Swords
Blocking/Covering – 9 of Wands
This month’s theme for you, Aries, is all about what is blocking your associations with friends and/or family. Have you had a “falling out” of sorts with a friend or members of your family? Whether this has happened on a major or minor level, it can be troublesome. And if it hasn’t happened to you yet, it’s certainly something to be on the watch for during this month of March!
The 4 of Swords suggests that you may find an inner need to just remove yourself from a friendship or family situation. You need some down time from the experience. You have things to think about and work out in regard to an issue with the people you care about. Or perhaps someone may be causing you to feel left out or pushed out of the “circle” in some way.
The 9 of Wands suggests that you have (or will have) your guard up about these people in your life. Someone has likely hurt you recently, or this may be an experience you deal with in March. And the problem is that the more you think about the issues, the more barriers you may subconsciously be putting up around you – even to the point that you become unwilling to forgive or try to work it out with them.
Take a stand for yourself, but know that you can’t properly do this if you put up so many barriers that you shut others out. Let others know what is acceptable to you and what isn’t. You’ll fare much better if you do not put yourself in the mode of victim mentality. You have a right to just be yourself whether others like it or not.
Being you doesn’t have to be such a lonely path. Remember, you do have the right to choose who your friends and family-like group will be – essentially choosing who you will keep in your circle and whom you will release.
********************
TAURUS:
Situation – 5 of Pentacles
Positive Influences – 3 of Pentacles
This month’s topic for you, Taurus, is about financial and material concerns. With the 5 of Pentacles, these areas may pose a problem for you. You may be feeling “down and out” or left out in the cold. If it’s not a financial concern, you may be feeling the sting of a rejection.
Yet generally, the 5 of Pentacles indicates that there is help available, even though times can be tough. The 3 of Pentacles points to positive influences in a tough situation. No matter what hardship has befallen you in this month, or what difficulty you might encounter before this month is through, the 3 of Pentacles indicates that you can recover from this hardship (or a rejection, if that is the case) by looking to the people or associates that you share common ground with. Who are the like-minded folks in your life that you can feel more comfortable to align yourself with?
You need to acknowledge the accomplishments that are happening in your life right now, in addition to recent endeavors that have worked out well. Perhaps not everything is going as smoothly as you wish – since the 5 of Pentacles is looming in front of you as the situation at hand. But your experiences this month may be trying to show you another way – and perhaps some new associations for which you’d be a better fit.
They say not to try putting a square peg in a round hole, because it simply doesn’t fit. If you are trying to involve yourself with groups or situations that are not truly a good fit for you, you’ll miss out on the ones that can be a nice and comfortable fit for your life. If material concerns are happening because you’ve tried to “keep up with the Joneses,” so to speak, realize that this only hurts you and does not give you any perceived status in the long run. Just be who you are, take one day at a time, and join with those who share things in common with your own needs and interests this month.
********************
GEMINI:
Past Life – 5 of Wands
Hobbies – 3 of Swords
Gemini, for this month the focus points to either a past life situation or lesson — or it will simply portray an experience of your past that can help you discover and nurture the hobbies and talents you have in your present life.
In the past, the 5 of Wands suggests a competitive atmosphere. It may have been hard to let your talents shine when so many others tried to reach in and take the spotlight. Situations like this can cause you to feel “not good enough” and unacknowledged. As you think about past events, you can likely recall some kind of group event that ended up in disorderly chaos with little to show for accomplishment.
The 3 of Swords in the position of Hobbies and Talents can leave you feeling like you don’t have any special skills that stand out enough to be noticed. You may have tried to share a gift, skill, or talent in the past, but met with little success in doing so.
But ask yourself this, Gemini: Is the hobby or talent you want to express the one that really fuels your passion? Or are you pursuing something because you just think it’s what is or will be popular in some way? The Universe works in odd ways to bring us closer to who we truly are. And if your past skills have been ignored, realize that there may be some new or untapped talents within you that will be worth exploring this month. If you’ve felt kind of “washed out” and depressed, that’s a sure sign that you need to engage in and learn something new – and whatever you choose to learn, make sure you love it!
********************
CANCER:
Friendship – Shadows
What to Know – Reversed 7 of Swords
Friendship is the topic for you this month, Cancer. But be very aware, because it looks like there may be a “shadow friend” in your midst! This person may tempt you toward things that you know are not right or that don’t feel good to you. Someone you meet this month may be hiding his or true nature. This person can be like the sociopath or psychopath who lures you in for their own gain or pleasure – and it comes at your own expense. You usually won’t realize this until it’s too late. So let this serve as a warning that you’ll need to carefully evaluate who your real friends are and who is not a real friend to you.
With that said, if you’ve had a falling out with a friend recently, the Reversed 7 of Swords indicates that you may receive an apology from that person. When someone apologizes to you, look for genuineness in that person. If that person has been hurting to know that he/she hurt you, it’s genuine. But if they are merely making apologies out of a sense of obligation or expectation, they probably don’t mean a word of it and could once again proverbially stab you in the back when you aren’t paying attention.
Navigate through your friendships with care this month, Cancer. By the time this month is done, you’ll likely have some valuable new perspectives about your friends. You will learn who your real friends are, and you’ll learn who is not a friend. That awareness can be painful, but it’s necessary to prevent you from being lured into the trappings of a negative association that is hard to escape from once you’re hooked into it.
********************
LEO:
Question – The Lovers
Surprise – 9 of Pentacles
Leo, if you’ve got love on your mind this month, the Tarot is here to address those questions. If love isn’t a primary concern for you, then the aspect of “choice” will likely be applicable to you for this month. And for some of you Leos, you may be encountering choices with regard to a specific relationship. A few of you may even be questioning whether love will ever come your way.
No matter what your individual question about love is, choice always plays a part in how you shape the future – and how you and a partner will co-create the future of a relationship. Everything we do today (whether related to love or not) has the potential to change or otherwise influence our tomorrows. Keep that in mind, Leo! Your choices have power, so how you decide to make choices this month could have a big impact for you later on.
The 9 of Pentacles comes up as a “surprise” in regard to your love concerns and/or your choices. You may find that everything around you is good overall, but that something is missing. What is that “something” for you, Leo? What is missing for you in an otherwise good life? Are you ready to take the next steps? It seems that you are, but you have to be the one to realize how ready you are.
Whatever you need to bring that extra measure of comfort, stability – or even love – it’s up to you to make the choices that will lead you in that direction. You may discover that what you desire it closer than you thought – or at least more possible to attain that you initially realized. Make good choices, and you can enhance the abundance and comfort in your life this month. The power of choice is indeed powerful!
********************
VIRGO:
Finances - 10 of Swords
Cons – Protector of Pentacles
Financial concerns may be at the forefront this month, Virgo, and with the 10 of Swords, things look rather shaky. You may find yourself feeling cheated or somehow “victimized” by financial circumstances. What or who do you feel is “ruining” you?
It may be time to cut your losses and come to terms with a reduced situation. Financial difficulties can make you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom. Asking for help can also feel like a demeaning experience. But you may need to ask for a little help in order to pick yourself up and start anew.
The good news is that with the number 10, you are reaching the end of a cycle – a phase that has perhaps been difficult or chaotic. There is light at the end of this tunnel.
While you may need to find some help to gain relief from a rocky situation, the King of Pentacles is shown in the position of “cons” for this situation. Be careful whom you confide in and/or whom you ask for help. Be aware, too, that even when you find the right person who can help, you may have to swallow your pride to do it. It’s usually much easier to be the giver or the helper than it is to be the benefactor or receiver.
Be sure that you ask for help in a way that shows you are not trying to be needy or dependent. Show someone that you just need a helping hand in order to help yourself, and that person may be a lot more willing to lend you the assistance you need right now. Whatever help or path of assistance that you use, dear Virgo, times will get better for you once you get past this icky bump in the road.
********************
LIBRA:
Health – Reversed 3 of Cups
What to Leave in the Past – Ace of Swords
The Tarot brings health matters to the forefront as a topic of interest this month, Libra. The Reversed 3 of Cups is telling you that too much of a good thing will not be a good thing for you. Be careful about over indulging, because excess can lead to some nasty addictions or habits that will be hard to break later.
Food or drink may be the most obvious culprit for many of you Libras this month. If you are using these as a means to escape a situation of unhappiness, please realize that this is not the way to find real and solid happiness. In fact, it is quite possible to make a situation worse. Comfort eating may seem like the right idea for a little while, but your body will resist by growing in ways you don’t want!
To find a state of inner happiness, the Ace of Swords appears to show you something that needs to left in the past. Something you had hoped would let you start anew or enjoy a new beginning might now be a situation that is no longer available to you. A new idea, a new relationship, or some new start will not be the right path for you after all. But this means that you are now free to find another brand new route that is not related to your past.
Physical activity and exercise can be especially beneficial to you, Libra. Consider joining a gym or establishing a routine at home that you can be happy with. Your body will thank you for it!
For any Libra ladies who do NOT wish to become pregnant, there is also a strong warning in the cards that you better be using protection if the family lifestyle is not yet one you’re ready for. So okay . . . you have been warned
********************
SCORPIO:
What to Take – 9 of Cups
Resolution – 2 of Swords
Scorpio, some happy and fulfilling moments of the past can lead you toward a resolution in the present. No matter what your current experiences, happiness is available to you! If things have felt gloomy of late, you may have to dig for pleasurable memories to revive you and remind you that you can be happy once again! But go ahead and dig, because if you can recall one of the most fulfilling moments in your past, the Tarot is letting you know that you can experience that happiness again!
Look at happy mindsets of the past that you enjoyed experiencing. You can leverage those moments for the future. It may just be a matter of tapping into past happy times so that you can gather the faith that such happiness can be there for you now and in the future. Remember, being or happy is actually a choice, no matter whether external circumstances are helping or hindering you to feel good about yourself and life.
The 2 of Swords indicates that you may have some choices to finally face, and those choices will be a determining factor in achieving a happier state of being. You might be in a time of waiting before full resolution comes and things are out in the open more completely. And the choices presented might not be easy ones to make. But realize that if you don’t face some temporary discomfort now in making some new choices, you will only make yourself feel even more “stuck” in life. Are you willing to confront some temporary discomfort for the sake of gaining what you want in life? It will be worth it, so I hope you’re willing, Scorpio!
********************
SAGITTARIUS:
Heart of the Situation – 10 of Cups
You – Reversed Moon
The Heart of the Situation for you this month, Sagittarius, are loving connections and finding genuine happiness in life and among family. It seems you are reaching a point of making dreams come true in your world – at least, you are certainly doing all you can to achieve this. Give yourself credit for your efforts. Contemplate on how love factors in to your accomplishments, too.
Love, happiness, and a good home and family life are at the heart of the 10 of Cups – and at the heart of an important situation in your life right now. This Moon represents you and your attitudes and energies that you are applying in a situation right now. This shows you moving out of an emotionally deceptive situation and seeing things a lot more clearly than you did before.
This is a beneficial change in attitude that will help dry any tears and put a smile back on your face. You are no longer dealing with the torment of whatever demons have been haunting you. Love truly can win in difficult situations. So while you may have been dealing with illusions recently, you can now find the truth as certain secrets and information will be revealed to you. These revelations will help you create a stronger sense of happiness and family harmony that you’ve been striving to attain.
You’ll still need to work on maintaining control of emotions that want to go awry, Sagittarius. Don’t let your imagination run away with you now – not when you’ve come this far in your endeavors! Be honest with yourself and with others. And know that you can trust your intuition, even if you felt lately that you couldn’t.
********************
CAPRICORN:
Coworkers – Protector of Swords
Attitudes – Muse of Wands
The Tarot shows a focus on work for you this month, Capricorn – specifically in matters with coworkers. You may be dealing with some strong-minded and decisive coworkers this month. Some might even seem short with you or blunt. But don’t take it all so personally. Keep the work setting in mind, and know that if you are given constructive criticism by a Protector of Swords personality at work, this can be beneficial to you. Someone has your best interests at heart in the work setting, but you may have a hard time using the information to your advantage – because you might be too busy focusing on how a message was so bluntly delivered, without any seeming consideration for feelings.
So put emotions aside and see what messages from coworkers or colleagues may be the very messages that give you a gem in terms of information you can use to your advantage. Let constructive criticism be the growth for you that it’s meant to be. You may also see how you gain respect for using such information wisely. Others may complain and say that someone is being too nit-picky or demanding . . . but you can be the one who gets that “aha moment” and makes it all work to your benefit!
The Muse of Wands is ready to learn and explore, as this character is like a Tarot Page. If you take all information thrown at you this month, there will be something of value to learn – and something to help you grow and advance yourself. As you shake of the manner in which a seemingly harsh message is delivered, you’ll be a step ahead of the others who spend time dwelling and boo-hooing about such a message. There will be something of value in even the most difficult-rendered messages . . . so choose to be the one who makes it work for you. Others might not, but you can secretly enjoy using information and messages in a way to learn, grow, and rise above others.
********************
AQUARIUS:
Hopes and Fears – 2 of Wands
Clarification – Reversed Hermit
Aquarius, something you are hoping for might not come about as quickly as anticipated. Your hopes could literally turn fearful if you let your imagination get too overactive. Look at this month as one that is best suited for planning and creating good strategies for the moment when things start picking up and becoming more active.
For now, there might not be a lot actively happening, and it can get frustrating when you’re ready to get on with it already. You hold hope about the possibilities in front of you, yet you may be fearful as you wonder how and when you’ll get there.
The Reversed Hermit is the clarifier card with regard to the hopes and fears that prevail in your mind right now. It’s telling you that, although there will be a time of waiting – or some down time – you do have control over the situation, and things will finally start moving. Upright, the Hermit is more withdrawn or isolated, as he studies a situation. But when he shows up reversed, things are starting to come out into the light and are starting to move again. You might not immediately see it, but things are changing.
Use your current down time to learn all you can about the situation that brings you both hopes and fears. Bide your time, and finally, the light will shine in a way that puts matters into better perspective. You will finally see a situation through new eyes. Whatever is making you feel fussy and complaining will come to an end if you give it time. Find the positives in your circumstances, and learn what you can through these experiences.
********************
Note: For this Tarot-Scopes feature, I have used traditional Western Sun signs of the zodiac, but if you’re curious what your Vedic Astrology Sun sign is, check out the Vedic Astrology Sun Signs page and compare. If your Vedic Sun sign is different than your traditional Western sign, you might even see how information from both of the signs could apply to you – or perhaps one may be more prominent for you than the other.
Please keep in mind that the entries listed above could not possibly represent everything you will experience during the month, nor does it mean that two people of the same sun sign will encounter the same situations or energies.
What is presented for your enjoyment is a significant theme for the month you may see or relate to this month in one way or another. But it’s not the sum of the whole. It is, however, one important aspect or theme that the cards wish to bring to the attention of each Sun Sign.
Many Blessings,

January 31, 2013 | Author Velvet Angel
This month, I’m using Tarot and Lenormand to bring us insights for each of the Sun signs. Both of the decks I am using were created by our much loved artist and designer, Ciro Marchetti.
Incidentally, our beloved artist, Ciro Marchetti, will be retiring from the world of Tarot and Oracles. So in honor of this amazing artist, I present our February 2013 insights with two brilliant decks that he has created.
The Lenormand featured here is the Gilded Reverie which has been an extremely popular Lenormand deck. It’s currently in its third and final production. (Hint – if you love Lenormand and haven’t gotten this deck, it’s your last and final chance over at his website.)
The featured Tarot deck this month is the Gilded Royale Tarot, and it’s also available at the artist’s website: http://www.ciromarchetti.com
For February, I have drawn 3 Lenormand cards to tell us about the theme for each Sun sign, followed up by the wisdom of Tarot to correspond with the message of Lenormand.
As with any type of Sun Sign forecast, please keep in mind that this is quite general and could not possibly encompass every single unique individual under a particular Sun Sign, nor could it foretell of everything that you’ll experience over the month.
Enjoy!
********************
AQUARIUS:
Lenormand: Bouquet + Lilies + Tree
Tarot: 5 of Cups + The Hanging Man
Aquarius, the theme for you this month focuses on happy family gatherings and traditions. It’s about the happiness you find through close and extended family and the traditions that you enjoy with them.
The 5 of Cups and the Hanging Man suggest an “emotional limbo” of sorts. Perhaps you’ve been on the “outs” with someone in your extended family, and you’re not so sure you could enjoy a happy reunion with them. But it could work out better than you expect.
All is not as lost as it feels like in this moment. Keep an open mind to the possibilities. Let go of the baggage. Allow yourself to enjoy the connections that are available to you.
If you choose to avoid those who have hurt you, you’re really only allowing them to win. You’ll be missing out on something, and it would then only be you who is responsible for such losses. It’s time for a new perspective on what family means to you and how you can achieve a more positive experience with the ones you love.
********************
PISCES:
Lenormand: Clouds + Ring + Key
Tarot: 3 of Wands + Page of Pentacles
Problems or confusion in a partnership, relationship, or a contract will be clearing up, Pisces. The relationship is secure which affords the ability to work through issues when they come up. Focus on the value of that partnership to help you see past the confusing issues that can arise.
The 3 of Wands indicates that your ships are coming in! If you have been dealt a confusing hand with regard to a relationship, partnership, or a contract of some kind, pay attention to the details. Those details matter a lot at this time, and they can make all the difference.
There is opportunity to start anew on the right track if you’ve found yourself off course or otherwise confused. Work with others and promote teamwork.
Be practical, be patient, and see what new things you can learn from the experiences with your important associations. The lessons will help you form positive alliances and focus on the value that those offer.
********************
ARIES:
Lenormand: Bouquet + Heart + Scythe
Tarot: Queen of Pentacles + Strength
Your focus for February, Aries, is on the happiness that love can bring. If you’re single, you may find yourself suddenly falling for someone. If you’re already in a relationship, you may suddenly feel a stronger connection. Things are happy, and this is especially welcome if you’ve encountered a difficult time recently.
With the presence of the Scythe here, you may have been hurt, but the cutting point of that Scythe is facing in the other direction, meaning that the danger of sharing your heart is now passing.
Thus, it’s safe for you to love again, Aries – even if you’ve been recently hurt in matters of the heart. The Queen of Pentacles puts you on firmer footing now. Let your inner strength shine so that you can enjoy the romantic opportunities that come your way.
Don’t be afraid – just open up your heart, and go for it
********************
TAURUS:
Lenormand: Mice + Path + Scythe
Tarot: Reversed Ace of Pentacles + The Empress
I won’t kid you, Taurus – there may be some difficulties up ahead this month. You may find yourself in a situation where you are out of options or alternatives. You might also be turning down offers, or you’re simply afraid of making a choice for fear it may be the wrong one.
The Reversed Ace of Pentacles shows us an opportunity could be missed. If you’re turning down offers at this time, make sure you are doing so for the right reasons.
Opportunity will be there with the Empress, but you may be afraid to make a change or try to move forward – especially if you feel like you have no choices in front of you. Thus, it can be hard to identify the opportunities that are real versus those that don’t have the capacity to get you anywhere.
Instead of just throwing your hands up in the air and calling it quits, Taurus, look to those who can offer you some support, guidance, and encouragement during the challenging times.
********************
GEMINI:
Lenormand: Ship + Garden + Clouds
Tarot: King of Wands + 8 of Swords
A focus for you this month, Gemini, is group travel or commutes that are problematic. You may experience controversy about travel matters, or you may find yourself uncomfortable with a carpool situation. Confusion about travel and who you travel with may have to get sorted out – whether it’s for a special trip or whether it’s a daily commute situation.
The King of Wands suggests that you’ll need to take control of this situation, but with the 8 of Swords energy from the Tarot here, you may feel like you’re backed into a corner without any good options in front of you.
So you can either choose to stay in the rut that is causing you discomfort . . . or you can take a stand and make some new “executive decisions.” The former option will certainly not change anything, and the latter option will require you to address the issues head-on, which can certainly give rise to further complications.
But the only way you’ll ultimately feel settled about what confuses you or bothers you this month is by going straight through the problem to get to the other side. It’s time to take charge and get yourself out of the stuck mess you find yourself in. You might not feel you can take action, but action will be the only way to settle things.
********************
CANCER:
Lenormand: Fox + Letter + Moon
Tarot: Page of Wands + 4 of Cups
Deceptive news may be at the forefront of things this month, Cancer. You probably can’t trust everything that comes to your attention. This may relate to job issues with both Fox and Moon presiding in this Lenormand trio. Are you chasing the wrong dreams and goals? Is it a form of self-deception that is leading you astray?
The Page of Wands indicates that you may be eager to get started on something – perhaps something brand new for which you feel passionately about. But if you jump right in without doing your homework, Cancer, you may somehow feel like you’ve missed the boat and aren’t getting what you bargained for.
The 4 of Cups brings a gift or an opportunity that you could easily overlook. Make sure that you aren’t looking in the wrong direction, as you could miss your chance for something that will suit you well. Don’t deceive yourself by untrustworthy information. Get the facts, and you’ll know what the real opportunities are and what the illusions are.
********************
LEO:
Lenormand: Fox + Moon + Tower
Tarot: The Wheel + 7 of Wands
Illusions with regard to someone’s reputation may come up for attention, Leo. You might have some pretty high expectations for something or someone, but is this realistic for the situation?
The Wheel shows us that something is changing and evolving. On the surface, it looks like everything should be great. But there’s a significant problem here nevertheless. Everyone may be fighting against you or trying to push you in a different direction. You may find that you have to really stand your ground and defend yourself. And you may even have to defend your reputation on some level as well.
Making desired changes will require a lot of effort on your part. Just make sure you are approaching things honestly and ethically so that nothing can come back later to bite you in the @ss. Know what you believe in first and foremost. Understand your own values. Then you can take a stand for the right things that are worth fighting for.
********************
VIRGO:
Lenormand: Garden + Mountain + Letter
Tarot: 4 of Wands + 8 of Swords
This month, Virgo, you may be trying to get into a club, group, or some organization, but you find that you’re met with blocks or resistance to get what you want. You may have delays in response time as you wait on an answer that you hope will be an acceptance letter. For now, that lack of “acceptance” might be blocking your ability to participate with a group that you wanted to be a part of.
Instead of focusing solely on where you can’t get in, Virgo, focus where you are already welcome and well-received. There are groups around you, including your own family and friendships, that are already welcoming you into the circle.
If you dwell on that which you cannot have right now, you will feel trapped and unable to identify other potential alternatives. This big important thing that you feel blocked from isn’t likely your “only” option. So look around and see if there really might be other possibilities and other doors that are currently open to you without all the red tape and delay.
********************
LIBRA:
Lenormand: Lilies + Snake + Sun
Tarot: Reversed 10 of Wands + King of Swords
Libra, you may be facing some complications with family (and/or in love matters) this month. These cards speak of entangled relationships. It may be with an older woman who is causing some disruption or problems. The Sun brings light to any deceptions and illuminates who this is in your life. So if you don’t know who this is right now, by month’s end, you’ll know then.
You may be carrying quite the heavy load, but the 10 of Wands indicates you can’t keep going on this way. If you don’t get some help or delegate some responsibilities, things are going to collapse. You may even be carrying the load for an older female, just because you’re nice like that. But will it pay to be nice at your own detriment?
The King of Swords encourages you to get firm about this. Exercise discipline for a fairer distribution of responsibilities. You will be called upon this month to make some important decisions as a leader on some level. Those decisions will likely involve the identification of who and what is hindering your efforts, delaying you, slowing things down, or is otherwise not fair to you.
And if you’re focused on matters of love, watch out, because there could be “another woman” who is ready to strike at any moment to bring you down. Avoid those complications and entanglements at all costs. They won’t be worth it, and you’d likely get a lot of slack from those who are close to you about your choices in relationships.
********************
SCORPIO:
Lenormand: Child + Bouquet + Path
Tarot: Queen of Swords + 10 of Swords
A surprise invitation could open up new decisions and options for you that are pleasing, Scorpio. You may find a positive new direction this month.
This may come for you at a time where you feel like the last straw has already happened. You may feel like you are down on your luck with this 10 of Swords from Tarot. But you have the opportunity now to get back up and start anew on better footing.
Be disciplined to see things through. Be fair and honest with yourself and others – even if others haven’t shared that courtesy. When you do the right thing, you will ultimately win. Give yourself reasons to be proud of how you are choosing to conduct yourself. Look at the new opportunities that are presenting themselves, and choose wisely so that you can get back on your feet again.
A new start seems to await you after something unpleasant. This new start may take you in a whole new direction – but certainly a better one.
********************
SAGITTARIUS:
Lenormand: Storks + Anchor + Dog
Tarot: Page of Pentacles + Emperor
Work improvements are the focus during this month, Sagittarius. Stable grow with steady development is highlighted. You may experience partnership changes for the better, and you might even find a loyal friend in a work situation. Some associations may change in your work environment, but it’s all for the good.
This month may afford you the opportunity to work on something new. You are in charge, and there may be some unfamiliar things in front of you – things you have to learn in order to properly apply. Pay close attention to the details when learning new things in work matters, because those details are very important to your ultimate success.
Take charge and apply a firm, guiding hand to your efforts. You are the one you have to count on right now, so do a good job and make yourself proud! You can achieve mastery of the new things you are studying or learning – and then use it in your work to add stability to your endeavors.
********************
CAPRICORN:
Lenormand: Dog + Clover + Key
Tarot: Knight of Swords + Page of Wands
Luck may come to you through a friend or ally this month, Capricorn. There is a definite window of luck or opportunity here. But keep in mind that the opportunity of the Clover is a short one, so you have to seize it right away . . . or miss it!
The Knight of Swords suggests that something is moving fast, and that corresponds to the quick time table of the Clover above. Something can come in quite quickly and unexpectedly, so you have to take advantage of it immediately . . . or watch it pass you by.
Be swift in taking action this month. Get things done, and go for what you feel passionately about. It’s not a time to hang back in the shadows and be shy. You have to step forward. A friend may help you discover an opportunity or some lucky find that you’ll be grateful for. You’ll have reasons to get excited this month. Watch carefully for news that is coming your way – because you don’t want to miss out on what it will offer.
********************
Note: For this Lenormand + tarot-scope feature, I have used traditional Western Sun signs of the zodiac, but if you’re curious what your Vedic Astrology Sun sign is, check out the Vedic Astrology Sun Signs page and compare. If your Vedic Sun sign is different than your traditional Western sign, you might even see how information from both of the signs could apply to you – or perhaps one may be more prominent for you than the other.
Please keep in mind that the entries listed above could not possibly represent everything you will experience during the month, nor does it mean that two people of the same sun sign will encounter the same situations or energies.
What is presented for your enjoyment is a significant theme for the month you may see or relate to this month in one way or another. But it’s not the sum of the whole. It is, however, one important aspect or theme that the cards wish to bring to the attention of each Sun Sign.

December 29, 2012 | Author Velvet Angel
For our brand new year in 2013, I’m starting it off with some Lenormand insights. This is where I normally post Tarot-Scopes, but as this is going to be a year of new creations at Tarot Wisdom Readings to expand my available services (to include Lenormand and more in the mix), I decided to start 2013 with a change of scenery.
We could even call this “Lenormand-Scopes”
But not to worry, Tarot will still be highlighted at Tarot Wisdom Readings. I’m just going to be expanding things in this new year to feature even more goodies to bring you wisdom, insight, advice, and most importantly the empowerment that puts you in the driver’s seat of your life!
For this feature, I’ve posted a card trio for each Sun Sign (starting with our birthday Capricorns) to represent the month of January. The fourth card is a “sum of the numbers” card to bring you a piece of advice. This card is determined by adding up the numbers from the card trio.
As with any type of Sun Sign forecast, please keep in mind that this is quite general and could not possibly encompass every single unique individual under a particular Sun Sign, nor could it foretell of everything that you’ll experience over the month.
I am using the Shabby Chic Lenormand by Lynnette Monrean (a.k.a tarotlyn)
********************
CAPRICORN: Clover + Storks + Path
A lucky and perhaps unexpected change or opportunity will put you on a favorable path, Capricorn. But, you’ve got to make a decision to take it or leave it. The opportunity will not likely be there for long, so if you want it, grab it while you still can.
Advice of the TREE: While this opportunity may almost land in your lap, it will be something that takes time to grow and develop if you accept it. Success is quite possible, but keep in mind that it won’t happen overnight. It’s up to you to nourish it and develop it into the greatness it has the potential to be.
********************
AQUARIUS: Man + Clouds + Moon
If you are a man: As this card features the dark side of the Clouds on the right (versus the left), it looks like you may be coming out of a confused period as you get started on the new year. However, mood swings and sensitivity may strike yet again. You may have concerns about your reputation. Look to your life where this lies – perhaps in work matters. Your reputation is probably not as bad as you think, but this off-and-on shift of moods may be leading you astray in your thinking and what you believe about yourself.
If you are a woman: A man in your life may have changing moods that go from hot to cold, and you can’t seem to pin this person down. You may be dealing with someone who is not sure of himself, despite that you see he has a creative or romantic side that appeals to you. These moods will pass, but it may feel like an on-again-off-again sort of situation until it settles down.
Advice of the BIRDS: Rethink your current plans, as continuing in the same ways could create more anxiety and worry than it’s worth. Have you taken the time to get a birds-eye view of the situation? Look at an issue through your own eyes, and don’t necessarily believe everything you hear from others. Take things with a grain of salt, and find a way to calm down in the midst of too much noise or mind chatter.
********************
PISCES: Lilies + Woman + Heart
If you are a man: It looks like romance will be prominent for you, Pisces. It’s a sexually fulfilling liaison, but it’s not just lust . . . it’s love. A special woman might have your heart, or you may meet her this month if you don’t already know who she is. She might be a bit older than you, but she could be the one that tugs at your heartstrings in a meaningful way. If she’s already in your life, the relationship can sizzle as the two of you bring in the new year.
Oh, but what if you’re single, you ask? Then get out there and look for her!
If you are a woman: Lady Pisces, you are in love! Romance is in the air, and you’ve captured a man’s heart. If you happen to be single, you might not stay that way for long. Although, don’t go counting on a wedding just yet. Love is there, but this is not a promise of wedding bells. At least not yet . . . you’ve got to enjoy the love first!
And if you happen to be single, it’s time to work on changing that if you want a partner, because you’re the perfect fit for someone who’s out there looking for you.
Advice of the WHIP: Love and sex can be exciting, but don’t get too hasty just yet! Why not slow down and enjoy what’s there? No need to start planning a wedding yet. Pull back on the reigns a bit and slow things down so they don’t turn sour.
********************
ARIES: Flowers + House + Woman
If you are a man: A happy and loving home is shown for you, Aries. The cards feature domestic harmony, and it looks like you have a stable woman to share this happiness with. It looks like you’re keeping her happy, and the romance looks to be very much alive as you get started on a brand new year.
If you are a woman: Enjoy the domestic tranquility this month. You’re the lady of the house, and there is happiness for you right where you are. Your sweetheart might even surprise you with a gift of flowers or some other present that makes you happy.
Advice of the CLOUDS: You’ve got a lot of harmony surrounding you at this time, Aries, so don’t rock the boat and create confusion around what’s already working in your life. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. Now is not a time to take chances, nor is it the time to leave things to chance. If you do, there could be misunderstandings that arise and cloud your happiness.
********************
TAURUS: Moon + Child + Book
Taurus, it looks like there is something for you to study and learn this month. You might be undertaking a new study which can be successful for you. You might have an interest in psychology or esoteric studies. Whatever it is, something is hidden in the shadows and waiting to come to the light for your attention. It seems to be something new for you to learn and use in your life. If you leave the book closed, however, you’ll never gain the wisdom that could be yours.
Advice of the COFFIN: Perhaps the reason that this month focuses on studying and learning new things is because you need to let something go from your life. A great way to find that closure is to start in a new direction with something brand new that holds your interest. When one door closes, another will open! This change in direction might be exactly what you need to move forward.
********************
GEMINI: Rider + Woman + Key
A woman may be entering your life this month. She is someone who brings security, because she is reliable and holds the key to a question you have now or that you will have during the month. She is a woman who can bring opportunities and help open up doors. She may bring a message about a new start – it’s a positive message for you, Gemini!
Advice of the FLOWERS: Be pleasant and friendly to others around you. Be creative and make your surroundings attractive and pleasing. Be charming, and don’t forget your manners to others. Honey is sweeter than vinegar, and will therefore, get you further to be nice.
********************
CANCER: Coffin + Key + Birds
Something seems to be definitely coming to end this month, Cancer. You may learn about a loss or ending through a phone call. Conversations could be key to finding what you need to know or getting answers.
Advice of the COFFIN: Your card of advice seems to confirm some kind of loss, and it recommends that you cut your losses and move on, Cancer. Find the needed closure in your life. A change in ideas or attitudes may be necessary as you transform from one phase to another.
********************
LEO: Anchor + Clover + Fish
Leo, what a wonderful beginning you have for this new year! A lucky opportunity may present itself which will provide you with security and more money! If you are currently unemployed, this can be very good news for you. If you already have a job, things look stable for you, and there might be an increase in money for you as well. Work matters are likely to go well this month – and may land you some extra cash in your pocket as well. If you’ve been waiting on that bonus, it looks like it’s coming.
Advice of the COFFIN: Something may have ended, Leo, but January looks great for you. So let go of the old so you can get on with the new in your life. Some changes may be happening, but change is not always a bad thing!
********************
VIRGO: Ring + Clouds + Tree
Confusion or problems with a contract or partnership might finally be clearing so you can see the light. However, this doesn’t mean that all your troubles are vanishing, dear Virgo. You need to be careful with your health, as a particular issue might be hard to pinpoint. You might start out feeling generally tired and fatigued. It might be time to go get that checkup you’ve been putting off.
Advice of the CROSS: The Cross suggests that there is something going on which is unavoidable. Do you need to see a doctor or a counselor to help you feel better and be you again, Virgo? Remember, your action (or inaction) today will shape the possibilities of your tomorrows. Do what you can to make those tomorrows the best they can be.
********************
LIBRA: Flowers + Heart + Path
Love and romantic happiness may be on your mind this month, Libra. But be careful about who you give your heart to at this time. Either you or someone you get involved with might not be committing. He or she may have multiple partners on the line and isn’t willing to make a commitment to anyone. But in the same token, it looks like you yourself will have multiple invitations and opportunities coming at you. It’s probably not the best time to settle down and commit to any one person or thing, but it’s definitely a time in which you can keep your options open until something more definite appears for you.
Advice of the SCYTHE: It’s time to cut away what you no longer need, Libra. Cut out the baggage of unnecessary attachments. Don’t procrastinate or delay . . . just do it!
********************
SCORPIO: Clover + Flowers + Dog
Scorpio, it looks like you may receive an invitation or a gift this month from a friend. Enjoy your positive friendships – and enjoy the possible good luck that could arise through a friend or ally during this time.
Advice of the WOMAN: It’s not a time for a bold or aggressive approach, Scorpio. Be receptive and open to the people around you. No need to bully your way through. Use your charms, and that will help you more than a tough exterior will do at this time.
********************
SAGITTARIUS: Flowers + Clover + Birds
Sagittarius, you might receive a surprise invitation or attend a nice party this month. An invitation may come to you by phone. You may enjoy some fun conversations, and it’s quite possible that you could receive two special invitations this month. Two is more fun than one
Advice of the MICE: Don’t sweat the small stuff, Sagittarius. Take special care of your relationships. If you see problems surfacing in some area of your life, start working on those matters right away, doing what you can. Otherwise, something will just keep nibbling away at the issue until things are in chaos. You don’t have to let it get that far . . . so don’t!

This Week’s Wisdom Message . . .
King of Batons/Wands
An influential and independent person may be in a position to help you in some way. This person could be your father, a boss, a mentor, an advisor, or someone who can help you get your foot into the door of opportunity for a job or career. He can make things happen for you. If not an actual person, this card can refer to a group or an institution that may help you this week.
You are in a position of strength with the appearance of the King of Batons. A situation will likely go favorably for you. This energy is about getting results, reaching goals, and fulfilling ambitions.
You could be inspired by a man like this King who will push you to excel and use your full potential. He is one to encourage and support your dreams, whatever those may be. He is a mature, strong, and generous man who will give you sound advice.
The strong-willed and positive King of Batons energy indicates you are in control of your own desires. You are called upon to be decisive and take action on something that is important to you and that you would like to manifest. This is the energy that allows you to take a leadership role . . . to be in control of yourself, your actions and decisions, and to also be a guiding force for anyone else under your influence that might need the kind of inspiration that you are capable of providing.
At this time, you may also find it a little easier to persuade others to your way of thinking — so take advantage of this opportunity if you need someone to see and appreciate your point of view on a matter.
With this card appearing, you are encouraged to stretch your creative capacity and re-evaluate your personal potential. There is a time of dreaming about goals, and there is a time to get busy in order to achieve them. This King indicates it’s time to get busy . . . because you can do or be anything you want.
Many Blessings,
Velvet Angel

This week’s Tarot Wisdom message has been brought to you by the Old English Tarot.
December 1, 2012 | Author Velvet Angel
ARIES: Ten of Pentacles
Family, stability, and prosperity are your themes this month, Aries. Count your blessings and be thankful for all you have. While some financial blessing or improvement may come your way, remember that wealth is more than just money. It’s love given, wisdom gained, and ideas shared. We find this kind of wealth in hugs, smiles, and in laughter.
Real wealth is found in the part of yourself that you give away freely – the part that expects nothing in return and lives long on after you do. That is a legacy in and of itself, and it’s worth more than what money can buy!
Focus on the long-term, and work for lasting solutions and stability rather than just “quick fixes” or whatever it takes to just get by, Aries. Think ahead. Work on the kind of arrangements that will carry you far into the future – versus being satisfied with just living or existing week by week or paycheck to paycheck. You can have more than that, but you do have to earn it and plan for it.
********************
TAURUS: The Chariot
What a busy month this may be, Taurus! You’ve got places to go, people to see, and things to do. Among all of this, you’ll likely find changes that will take you places. Once you decide on your direction, it’s time to get moving toward that destination.
In your goals and endeavors, there may be a number of things that compete for your time and attention, Taurus. Don’t let outside influences distract you from the real goals that you are striving for.
If you choose to keep going, even when things feel a bit bumpy or rough, a victory awaits you at the end of the road you are traveling. Put on your armor of determination and perseverance and get cracking – there is much to be done, and much to be satisfied about if you persist.
********************
GEMINI: Queen of Swords
Gemini, it’s okay if you are not liked by every single person. As you find a need to exercise some discipline, tough love, and assertiveness this month, you may find that you simply cannot be liked by all. And you certainly can’t please all the people all of the time.
You will be called upon to demonstrate common sense and logic. This may require you to cut away what you no longer need so that you are free to create what you do need and want. And you’ll find that not everyone will agree with your stance. Not everyone will favor you for new rules and boundaries that you put into place at this time. But those rules are necessary to protect yourself and your goals.
You may be seeking some changes in your life. To create them, you will have to cut through the fog and confusion, eliminate what’s not necessary, and get straight to the point. Be honest with yourself and others – no time for beating around the bush or sugarcoating anything. Yes, you may come across as being somewhat critical to others, and you may indeed be a little less sympathetic or less tolerant of whining and sob stories than usual. But this is okay – the goal isn’t to be seen as “nice” or “sweet” . . . the goal is to be clear, firm, and direct if you plan to achieve the goals in front of you and create the changes you want in life. You’re in command of this, so it’s up to you to see it through.
********************
CANCER: Reversed Three of Cups
With all of my might, I pushed this “larger than life” 3 of Cups to try to bring it upright for you, Cancer. But when it didn’t happen, the message was that only YOU can turn this energy around yourself.
While December is supposed to be a merry and jolly sort of month, this reversed energy can signify disappointment. Something you hoped for might not happen, or you find yourself waiting for something . . . only to be let down when that doesn’t arrive as planned.
If you don’t know who your real and true friends are by now, life may find a way to show you exactly who your friends are . . . and who they aren’t! Sometimes we really think we know, but it’s only through a problem or hardship that we find out that some so-called friends are little more than “fair weather” friends.
Someone you love might not love you back, and when you realize this, it is very disappointing and hurtful. Don’t waste your love on someone who won’t return that to you. Don’t wait around and hope that someone will magically love you just because you want them to. Move on. You’ll find happiness if you do. Whatever problems you may be experiencing, don’t feel sorry for yourself! Instead, make new plans and look ahead. Fill your life with new interests and creative outlets.
********************
LEO: Page of Cups
Leo, a positive emotional shift is happening this month which will allow you to more openly communicate and express your feelings to others. It’s a great time to play, be creative, and spend time with children, friends, and loved ones.
A happy surprise or a welcome new start may be in store for you – this could even be a message from a love interest if you’re single. If you are already partnered, this energy will work its magic to bring you and your sweetheart even closer.
This isn’t a time to take life so seriously, because you are meant to enjoy it. Take some time to play and do fun things. Let down your hair and let your imagination and creativity come forward. Listen to your intuitive hunches, because those will be strong within you. It’s an inner guide that you can trust, so don’t ignore it. Believe in your dreams, because when you dare to dream, all things become possible
********************
VIRGO: Justice
Issues of balance and fairness are the themes for you this month, Virgo. So make sure that you’re “playing fair” and being honest, because if you aren’t, the bite of karma can be painful.
If you are conducting yourself with honesty and fairness, you will have more balance and peace in your life – and more opportunity for karmic rewards (instead of karmic consequences) to come into the picture.
Even when you are doing right, it won’t always seem like justice is being properly served. In those cases, take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Realize that some things take time to rebalance, and you just need to be patient. Karma is being worked out, and in time, you’ll see it more clearly.
You may be put in the role of mediator, and if so, be sure to take an objective approach. Don’t try to take sides, but look at the issues on both sides of the situation to render a fair judgment or solution for all concerned. Do what you know is the right thing. Be fair. Practice the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Strive to treat everyone fairly, yourself included, and the scales will tip in your favor.
********************
LIBRA: Ace of Swords
You are sharp and alert, Libra. Use this focus to your advantage, and nothing will get past you. Clarity also allows you to rationally get to the heart of any problems that arise. You can cut through the adversity – and the BS – and get straight to the truth.
The sword is double-edged, and thus, you can use it as a weapon against yourself (i.e., whining, blaming the world, and not accepting responsibility) . . . or you can use it to cut out the negative mind chatter and allow for a more positive and productive frame of mind.
Take charge of your thoughts. There may be a sense of urgency in a situation, but remember to think practically first before acting. Once you know what needs to be done, be bold and deal with a problem head on. Don’t let setbacks discourage you, because the little potholes in the roads of life can become some of our greatest teachers.
Conflict is not always bad — sometimes it’s necessary to clear the air and to forestall wrongdoing and negativity. Without confronting and exposing what is bad, the good influences won’t have a chance to grow and develop. “Strength in adversity” is a hallmark of this Ace . . . out of something “bad,” something good emerges.
********************
SCORPIO: The Sun
It’s a perfect time to say YES to life, Scorpio! Happiness, fun, and excitement are the vibrations of the month for you. Connect with your inner child, and go out and PLAY! Be alive, be radiant, be carefree, and be happy! Good times are waiting for you, so be sure to do something you enjoy.
Success and victory are there for you! You will likely get what you want. There is potential for you to fulfill a dream or reach a goal that you’ve been working on. You may realize now that you can’t just wait for life to happen . . . you have to make things happen in life!
Feel free to try something different . . . draw “outside of the lines” . . . or think “outside of the box.” Don’t be afraid to “toot your own horn” and let your light shine boldly at this time.
If you’ve been having a difficult time, the Sun brings you the message you have been waiting for – that things are going to get a lot better! The rain clouds will soon make way for the sun to shine again and warm your soul. Find something to be happy about today! Get excited! See the blessings, because they are there!
********************
SAGITTARIUS: The Hermit
There’s nothing wrong with seeking some quiet time to be alone, Sagittarius. In fact, the Hermit prescribes that for you this month. While you don’t literally need to become a secluded hermit, you may find that some time to yourself is exactly what you need.
Take some time to study and learn about subjects that are of interest to you. This is a time of taking things in, absorbing, seeking truth, or gaining mastery over something. It’s not a time to rush through things. Slow down and enjoy the journey, whether you are learning or teaching, because it’s possible with the Hermit that you may find yourself in both roles this month – that of teacher as well as student.
When you put a little space between yourself and the hustle and bustle of a busy world, you are in a better position to listen to the voice of your soul. Some important lessons may be there for you, Sagittarius – and “lessons” do not imply something bad, so don’t be alarmed by the idea of a soul’s lesson. Shine your light on learning and enjoying some quiet moments this month when you can grab that time for yourself
********************
CAPRICORN: Six of Cups
Love, giving, sharing, and caring are your themes for the month, Capricorn. It’s also a time to look back on the nostalgia of sweet memories. And this month, new memories will be in the making, too!
This isn’t a time to get overly caught up in the bigger things of life. Relax and enjoy the simple things of life instead! This isn’t to say that your bigger goals in life aren’t important, because they are. But you reach those bigger things in life through a day-to-day process. You might as well enjoy the journey of getting there instead of running on “stress mode” all the time!
Some precious and sentimental moments will be there for you to embrace and enjoy, Capricorn. Whether this is related to the holidays and/or something else, it’s a treasure you don’t want to miss because of spending your time worrying about all the tomorrows. Just enjoy the moment and the day. Take one day at a time. Set a comfortable pace for yourself . . . and see how much more love you create for yourself and others around you by doing so!
********************
AQUARIUS: Queen of Pentacles
A calm and practical approach will serve you well, Aquarius. Consider doing some organizing and decluttering before the holidays. You’ll find that you can be all the more productive, because when your physical space is orderly without clutter, your thoughts will be orderly and uncluttered as well.
Focus on nurturing yourself and others. You may be taking on the role of caretaker in some way and assuming responsibility – even if it’s not necessarily “your” responsibility to handle. But people can depend on you. People are counting on you. And you’ve got what it takes to come through for yourself and others.
You might be the rock that others tend to lean on. Being in high demand is indeed a big responsibility, but chances are, you wouldn’t want it any other way. You will feel better by “doing” this month – and perhaps by creating as well!
If you are considering a major purchase this month, Aquarius, it’s a good time for this, as you are likely able to negotiate a good deal – and that’s not necessarily due to holiday sales happening. You’ve got a good business head on your shoulders when you acknowledge that, and this is an asset that can help you save money in practical ways, including the negotiation of favorable deals.
********************
PISCES: Page of Pentacles
This may be a month of learning or study, Pisces. Pay attention to details, as that can be a key to you grasping the bigger picture. Take your time with whatever studies or apprenticeship you are working on. Slow and steady wins the race, so take a practical approach and not a hurried one.
A new beginning or practical message related to work, business, money, or education may come up. A new “seed” may be planted that will allow you to grow and prosper. Time invested in new skills will be time well spent.
Through hard work, you can make the most of any situation. And sometimes you need to take a risk in order to get ahead. Being “daring” does not have to be the same thing as being “reckless.”
Taking a risk can be a necessary step, but it does not imply that you should make reckless choices without first giving it careful thought. Approach risks in a practical and thoughtful manner.
********************
Note: For this tarot-scope feature, I have use traditional Western Sun signs of the zodiac, but if you’re curious what your Vedic Astrology Sun sign is, check out the Vedic Astrology Sun Signs page and compare. If your Vedic Sun sign is different than your traditional Western sign, you might even see how information from both of the signs could apply to you – or perhaps one may be more prominent for you than the other.
Please keep in mind that the entries listed above could not possibly represent everything you will experience during the month, nor does it mean that two people of the same sun sign will encounter the same situations or energies.
What is presented for your enjoyment is a significant theme for the month you may see or relate to this month in one way or another. But it’s not the sum of the whole. It is, however, one important aspect or theme that the cards wish to bring to the attention of each Sun Sign.
Many Blessings,
Velvet Angel
Wishing you a happy December – and a Merry Holiday!!

This Week’s Wisdom Message . . .
Elemental Centaur (Page of Pentacles)
It’s a great week to be a student again! This doesn’t imply you must take up a formal study, for there are many ways in which we can learn about new things. Focus on the things that interest you and that you have a desire to learn more about. Gather up the same kind of excitement you felt as a child when you were learning new things of interest.
It may be time to take a risk in some area of your life in order to create a new and desirable beginning. Pay attention to the details in order to assess your personal situation. If you are one who always likes to “play it safe,” it’s okay not to be much of a gambler in life. However, do realize that just about all we do in life has some level of risk attached to it. It’s just that we don’t think about those risks as being the “risks” that they are.
For example, you get up in the morning, and you decide that you’ll go to work – because you are expected to show up. Perhaps you have a half hour commute to arrive at your work destination. Did you realize that the choice to show up for work involves a risk? There is the risk of a highway accident, and although such risk is minimal, it’s still there nevertheless. Yet we don’t always see how some kind of risk is attached to most of the decisions we make in life.
When you take a good risk in life, you will have tried and put for the effort – which counts for a lot! When the outcome turns out to be a “winning” one for you, then you see how the risk was worth it in gaining the desired outcome. For the work example above, the risk you take to go to work each day gets you a paycheck and gets some bills paid and food put on the table.
This Elemental Centaur (known as the Page of Pentacles in traditional Tarot) is asking you to go the extra mile this week. Persevere through both the good times and the bad. This level of determination may show you that you have more strength under pressure than you knew you had! It all relates to how you choose to approach a situation.
You may have an opportunity this week to “learn by doing.” This will often involve some trial and error, so don’t be afraid of making mistakes during this learning phase, because it’s a part of the process. Be committed to the tasks you take on, be willing to work hard, pay attention to the details, and take responsible risks as needed. By doing so, you may find some hidden talents or interests within yourself . . . or you’ll at least discover the “drive” within your life that pushes you forward when you need that extra boost of self-motivation. That ambition can help propel you toward the achievement of your ideas and goals. You do have the ability to find new strengths within yourself, even while under pressure.
This can be a week of important self-discoveries. You may find yourself starting something new this week – whether it’s a new job, a new project, a new relationship, or something else that is “new” in your world. This can naturally create both anxiety and excitement at the same time. The Elemental Centaur would encourage you to jump in and learn as you go. Don’t let doubt or uncertainty rob you of the results you are striving to attain.
And don’t forget how important your instinctive abilities and common sense will be this week. Use those inner guides as you take aim for what you wish to pursue in this week.
Many Blessings,
Velvet Angel
