Tarot To Go

This month, I’ve pulled a card from the Radiant Rider Waite deck + a card from the Deck of Shadows Oracle (by Scott Grossberg) to see what messages we have for each of the Sun Signs.  Keep in mind that this is general information, and it could not possibly describe every single person under an individual sign.

 

ARIES:

Reversed 6 of Cups + Wisdom

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteJune may hold some bittersweet memories for you, dear Aries. Taking a walk down memory lane might not be a whole lot of fun for you. But there is wisdom to be gained as you take your experiences from the past and learn from them.

As difficult as some memories may be, you may also have a moment of epiphany as you look at what you’ve learned and see how you can apply those valuable lessons in the present.

 

 

 

TAURUS:

10 of Wands + Descension

KCRadiant Rider WaiteIs the load you’re carrying getting heavy yet?  You may find that you are doing a lot but still getting nowhere.  With such a big burden you carry, it’s difficult to see the finish line just yet.  This leaves you in disappointment – and it’s no wonder why, dear Taurus!

Sometimes it’s not so much the load as how one handles the load that’s carried.  Things may be rather awkward in how you are approaching things.  Is there a better way you could be doing things, Taurus?  It’s time to get some help and/or delegate to ease the burdens you carry.

 

 

GEMINI:

8 of Cups + Healing

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteGemini, you may find that it’s time to walk away from something this month.  Something that once brought value and meaning into your life simply doesn’t cut it for you anymore.

By letting go, you will find healing, and you will find opportunities for new things to nourish your life.  Don’t try to hang on to outdate beliefs and systems when it’s clearly time for you to move on.

 

 

 

CANCER:

Knight of Wands + Urim

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteThere’s a lot going on for you in June, Cancer!  Some things will be quite exciting that will

feed your spirit of adventure.  But you may get so busy that you also need to learn how to say NO when excess demands are made upon your time.

Learn how to say NO without guilt!  It’s time to be finished with commitments that you shouldn’t be taking on.  Stick to the commitments that truly belong to you and leave the rest of them for their rightful owners to handle.

 

 

 

LEO:

3 of Wands + Life

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteAre you waiting for your ships to come in, Leo?  If you did the work to set them out to sail, they will indeed bring a return on your investment.

Your theme this month is all about your creations in life.  What are you building and creating, Leo? What do you want to manifest?  Be sure to also take care of your health and well-being, as you are also a creation that needs proper tending, too!

 

 

 

 

VIRGO:

3 of Pentacles + Triumph

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteJune’s theme brings you triumph through hard work, Virgo!  You may be working with others to get the job done.  Because you care about the details and rendering a job you can be proud of, you can expect a handsome reward upon completion.

You’ll have a special victory to celebrate this month, Virgo, and whether it’s a big or a small accomplishment, enjoy that victory with all of the folks who helped and participated.  Because you really couldn’t have done it on your own.  Give credit where it’s due, including credit to yourself.

 

 

 

LIBRA:

Ace of Swords + Sacrifice

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteThat great new idea you have Libra might look really good on paper or in theory . . . but is it as realistic as it sounds?  Don’t get me wrong – you do have a valid idea somewhere in that intelligent mind of yours, but some of your ideas may require more sacrifice than what they’re worth.

This month, consider the cost of your ideas and actions before you end up sacrificing too much of yourself – or even having to break promises when you see that things can’t quite manifest in the way you envisioned.

 

 

 

SCORPIO:

2 of Cups + Cross the Threshold

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteIt looks like love and partnerships are a big theme for you this month, Scorpio!  It may be partnership in love or in business, but whatever the case may be, you are ready to cross that threshold and move into new territory.

You are tired of things being just “half way” now, and you are ready to go the distance and pledge your commitment to someone or something.  That feeling of readiness means you have grown, and you are answering the call of your destiny.

 

 

 

SAGITTARIUS:

3 of Swords + Dreams

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteSagittarius, I truly hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m right there with you as a fellow Sun Sagittarian!  Your dreams, hopes, and desires may meet with heartbreak this month – or at least some serious disappointment.

Be prepared for someone or something to crash the party of your dreams.  It’s not much consolation, but at least something will be out in the open now.  And it’s easier to deal with when you’re working in the light of awareness versus working with false hopes in the dark, Sagittarius.

 

 

 

CAPRICORN:

The Emperor + Destiny

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteYou get the opportunity to be in charge and to be in control this month, Capricorn.  Others will follow your lead, so be sure to set the example you want them to model.

Use this time of “calling the shots” with wisdom and compassion for others.  In some way, you may be “the boss,” but that doesn’t mean you should abuse the privilege.  It’s inevitable that you take the lead in some situation, but this will also bring you good karma if you handle things well in your leadership and guidance.

 

 

AQUARIUS:

Ace of Pentacles + Forbidden Love

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteIs a relationship or partnership really offering you a brand new start, or is it just seducing you into some kind of unwanted triangle, Aquarius?  This month, you’d best look both ways before moving into a tempting situation.

You could be walking into a forbidden love or otherwise find yourself in forbidden territory of some kind.  Detach your emotions when deciding if something is really right for you – before you answer the call of a siren that will just tear you down.

 

 

 

PISCES:

The Hanged Man + War

Deck of ShadowsRadiant Rider WaiteYou may have to make some sacrifices this month to resolve a battle responsibly, Pisces.  Until you do, things will be left hanging in the air with a lot of tension and stress.

Can you be the bigger person in a conflict and step up to take responsibility – even if a situation isn’t your fault?  Taking responsibility doesn’t mean you are taking the blame.  It just means that you are choosing to do the right thing to find some much-needed resolution in an uncomfortable situation.

 

 

********************

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,

ARIES:
Tarot-ScopesKing 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:
Tarot-ScopesPage 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:
Tarot-Scopes8 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:
Tarot-ScopesHermit + 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:
Tarot-Scopes8 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:
Tarot-ScopesReversed 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:
Tarot-ScopesReversed 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:
Tarot-ScopesKnight 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:
Tarot-ScopesQueen 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:
Tarot-Scopes4 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:
Tarot-Scopes6 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:
Tarot-ScopesStar + 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.

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-April

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotAries, 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

April Forecast

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotTaurus, 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

April Forecast

 

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotGemini, 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

April Forecast

 

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotCancer, 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

April Forecast 

 Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotLeo, 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

April Forecast

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotComplicated 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

April Forecast

 

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotLibra, 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

April Forecast

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotScorpio, 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

April Forecast

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotThis 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

April Forecast

 

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotCapricorn, 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

April Forecast

 

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotYou 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

April Forecast

 

Pamela Colman Smith TarotPamela Colman Smith TarotPisces, 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!

 

********************

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.

Lenormand ShipFor 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

CloverPathsThe Storks


The TreeA 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

The Man The CloudsThe 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.

BirdsIf 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

LiliesWomanHeart

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!

WhipIf 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

FlowersHouseWoman 

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.

CloudsIf 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

MoonChildBook

 

CoffinTaurus, 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

RiderWomanKey

 

FlowersA 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

8CoffinKeyBirds

CoffinSomething 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

AnchorCloverFish

CoffinLeo, 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

RingThe CloudsThe Tree


CrossConfusion 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

FlowersHeartPaths

ScytheLove 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

CloverFlowersThe Dog

WomanScorpio, 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

FlowersCloverBirds

MiceSagittarius, 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!

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.

********************

tarot cardsThis month, I’m doing something a little bit different for the Tarot-Scopes.  I wanted to shake things up a bit and make it interesting for you.

I have incorporated Lenormand + Tarot for the forecasts.  Two Lenormand cards have been drawn for each sun sign, along with a Tarot card.

The Lenormand card pair will tell us the practical side of what is actually happening, while the tarot card will add in how you may feel about it as well as possibly bringing in a piece of advice.  This gives us both a practical and psychological perspective to work with.

I am using the Piatnik Lenormand with the Radiant Rider Waite Tarot deck.


ARIES:  Flowers + Birds and 6 of Pentacles

Happy conversations arise for you this month, Aries – from telephone conversations to get-togethers . . . it’s all good!  You may have the gift of gab and enjoy conversing with others.  You might also receive invitations this month – perhaps even a surprise invitation.  You might give or receive a gift.

Don’t be afraid to use your voice, Aries.  It can get you what you want and/or give someone else what they need.

The Six of Pentacles from Tarot indicates that you will feel good about this.  Some of the conversations you have may relate to “give and take” with others.  So you’ll feel especially pleased to be able to help someone who needs you.  And if you are on the opposite side where you are the one who needs something, you will be pleased to know that the support you need is going to be there for you.

********************

TAURUS: Whip + Letter and High Priestess

Whip - Lenormand Letter - LenormandHigh Priestess

A letter or document may create conflict for you, Taurus – it might even make you angry, or the contents of the letter may express anger towards you.  This message may come to you in written form, via email, or a text message.  There may be a lot of communication with a lot of messages happening this month, and not all of it will necessarily relate to confusion or anger.  You might also be signing a contract of some kind.

The High Priestess suggests patience even when you want to rush out there and act quickly.  Wait for the information you need to arrive, and you will then have the facts in hand to take the appropriate actions.

Even the High Priestess holds a document in her hands, so letters, messages, and/or documents may be prominent for you during this month, Aries.  Don’t be quick to make snap decisions, though.  Your intuition will help you out a lot, so be sure to listen to that message, too!

********************

GEMINI:  Whip + Scythe and Page of Pentacles

Whip - LenormandScythe - Lenormand Page of Pentacles

Gemini, you may be facing some kind of troubles or strife this month that demands your attention. Ready or not, here it is – and this could be happening faster than you feel you can keep up with it.  It is possible that something keeps coming back to you in repetitive form, possibly something that needs to be cut out of the equation in order to be settled and resolved once and for all.

The Page of Pentacles is a calm energy in the midst of the turmoil from the Whip and Scythe.  It suggests that you may have something to study and learn about what’s coming at you this month.  You may find yourself needing to step back and look at a situation from various angles.  Doing this can help you cut away what you no longer need, allowing room for something better to come in.

Take extra care this month to avoid accidents, and don’t tangle with those who are violent or dangerous.  Steer clear of the troublemakers.  The Page of Pentacles indicates that you can be logical and perceptive, so use those skills to weed out the bad apples from the good ones in your life.

********************

CANCER: Clover + House and Justice

Clover - LenormandHouse - LenormandJustice - Lenormand

Something lucky surrounds house, home, and family this month, Cancer.  This can signify happiness within the family, or it may be a stroke of good luck regarding where you live.  If you are looking for a different house or dwelling to live in, luck is with you.  If you are looking to sell your home, you’ve got luck for that as well.

Clover’s luck doesn’t last long – perhaps for a couple of days or so – thus, be sure to seize opportunity when it comes knocking at your day.  Don’t delay, as you could miss it.

Justice indicates you will feel vindicated or pleased at something that works out so fairly for you during this month.  If you are feeling like it’s time for you to get a lucky break, it looks like that is coming to you.  It will certainly help to balance out your feelings, especially if things have felt unfair or unjust to you lately.

********************

LEO:  Child + Key and Death

Child - LenormandKey - LenormandDeath - Lenormand

Leo, there are a couple of ways that your cards may apply, so let me mention them both as one thing might be more applicable for you, and another possibility might be more fitting for one of your fellow Leos – or maybe you’ll see both of these ideas in your own life.

If you are trying to have a child, it looks like the opportunity is going to be there – or a child in your life may be particularly important this month.  A new door is opening, and you’ve got the key to access this.  There might be some kind of opportunity that comes up for or with a child – or perhaps because of a child.

Conversely, if you aren’t planning to add to your family or you don’t have children, the Child + Key indicate a new beginning or opportunity coming into your life this month.  A new beginning definitely seems to be on the way – something for you to nurture so that it will grow and develop into what you want.

Death from Tarot indicates that while there is a new beginning in some way for you, this will also bring some major changes.  For example, having a baby means that your whole life shifts and changes in dramatic ways – even though it’s still a positive thing for you.  So with the change coming into your life, Leo, it looks like there will be some adjustments to be made in order to accommodate that change.  Things may feel a bit stressful, even in light of a favorable thing you wanted.  You may also see how you have to let go of something in order to give the proper time and attention to the new experience coming into your life.

********************

VIRGO:  Gentleman + Ring and Reversed 7 of Wands

Gentleman - LenormandRing - LenormandReversed 7 of Wands

If you’re a Virgo man, a proposal of some kind may be presented – possibly by you, or at least for you.   This could be a marriage proposal, or it could be the proposal of some kind of contract that you will consider.

If you’re a Virgo woman, a proposal of some kind is also presented to you!  If you’ve been longing for your guy to propose . . . it could happen.  Or you may be considering a contract of another type.

But whether you are male or female, please be careful with whatever proposals – or propositions, offers, promises, or contracts — come your way.  The Reversed Seven of Wands indicates that you might be taking on more than you can handle or more than you are really ready for.  Think things over carefully before you sign on the dotted line, or before you say “yes.”

********************

LIBRA:  Path + Heart and Knight of Cups

Path - LenormandHeart - LenormandKnight of Cups

Choices for love may be prominent for you this month, dear Libra!  How sweet it can be, especially when you find a lovely partner to share with.  It is possible that some of you may even have more than one potential love interest to choose from.

But either way, you may have some decisions to make in matters of the heart this month.  This is about following the path of your heart and deepest feelings.  If love isn’t on the agenda for you, Libra, there are still options around you that bring contentment.  Follow your feelings to choose the right thing for you.

The Knight of Cups is a lovely addition to this Lenormand pair, as it emphasizes the idea of love in your life.  Love is coming to you, or you may be making a choice about a current love relationship possibility.  If you are already in a happy relationship, your cards for this month emphasize that relationship and making positive choices to help it keep growing.

This Knight ushers in very happy, content, and satisfied feelings.  It’s a calm energy, but also exciting at the same time!  Follow your heart, Libra!

********************

SCORPIO:  Fox + Fish and Judgement

Fox - LenormandFish - LenormandJudgement

Scorpio, please beware of deception surrounding money matters this month!  This can go either way – it can be some kind of impact on your money in a situation where you get duped, swindled, or somehow cheated or fooled . . . or it could be you who feels tempted to get something that you don’t really deserve or that doesn’t belong to you.

Make sure that you rise to your higher standards with a willingness to do a fair day’s work for a fair day’s compensation – and that you also insist upon fair value for whatever ways you are spending your money.

Judgement indicates making the right choices that you can feel good about, Scorpio.  It represents the understanding of something you might not have fully comprehended before.  It’s about achieving the understanding to make the right choices that will have an impact on your future.  The feeling here is like a “Judgement Day” where you will either reap the rewards of good choices, or you’ll face the consequences for bad ones!  Do what you know is right, dear Scorpio!

 

********************

SAGITTARIUS:  Bear + Birds and Queen of Swords

Queen of Swords

Negotiations may be on the table, Sagittarius.  This might be a conversation that you have with a boss for a pay raise, or it might be some other kind of negotiations or conversations that you have with an authority figure.   You may be talking to someone who is in a higher chain of command, or someone that holds the control over a matter.  It’s someone who may, in some way, be “in charge.”

If you need to talk to such an authority, don’t hesitate to do so.  The Birds is a vocal card, and it asks you to use your voice to help you get what you want or to resolve an issue.  Keeping quiet and just hoping for the best isn’t likely to help.

The Queen of Swords indicates that you will feel empowered to have made yourself heard in whatever circumstances are around you.  She can bring a good feeling to a no-nonsense situation where you want the truth and not the bull.  She encourages you to insist upon truth and honesty from those you converse with – and be equally as honest yourself.  You may find that you’re a better negotiator or communicator than you thought!

********************

CAPRICORN:  Lady + Letter and King of Cups

Letter - LenormandKing of Cups

You may send or receive a letter of importance, Capricorn.  If you have expected to hear something, it looks like the news or message is coming.  The message may come from a woman, or if you are a lady, it may be a letter, message, or document that you are sending out.

This Lenormand card pair might also indicate that you will be doing some writing this month, or perhaps you are looking to get published or you are already a published writer engaged in correspondence about what you have written.  In some way, letters, documents, writing, and communication will be significant.

The King of Cups gives you plenty of reasons to feel happy and satisfied with the communication, letter, or documents.  Whatever news you receive will be pleasing.  It will give you a good feeling – perhaps that boost of inner confidence that you’ve needed.  And it looks like, with this King of Cups, that you’ll be able to get people to listen to you.

It’s also possible that a “love letter” might be involved with this King of Cups – or some kind of communication or correspondence with a gentle man.  Whatever emotional support you might need is going to be there for you – enjoy!

********************

AQUARIUS:  Dog + Gentlemen and 8 of Cups

Dog - LenormandGentleman - Lenormand8 of Cups

A loyal male friend seems prominent for you this month, Aquarius.  If you’re a female, this is not likely a romantic companion we are talking about here – but a good friend that you can count on.  This portrays someone that you already know in your life, versus a newcomer.

This person may be a good listener to you, especially if you have emotional issues you need to talk about – as suggested by the 8 of Cups from Tarot.  This familiar person you know might help you through a time of letting go and moving on.  This person may help you in your search for what is “missing” in your life.

On a more mundane level, you may have a friend who needs to find a new home for his pet.  You might take on that pet yourself, or perhaps you will look for someone else you know who would want to care of that pet and allow it to transition into a new life and home.

In some way, this month will feel like you are letting go of something, but also searching for greater meaning in your life.  A loyal friend or a loving pet may be the encouraging support you need during this time.  Overall, it’s like a graduation of the soul as you grow and advance in your life and in your personal associations.

********************

PISCES:  Rider + Mouse and Ace of Swords

Rider - LenormandMice - LenormandAce of Swords

News of a loss may come to you this month, Scorpio.  You may be informed of something that “eats at you” or troubles you.  Something may cause you some serious concern.  It’s also possible that what troubles you or creates stress is in regard to a lost letter or message that you expected but did not receive.  If you were expecting to hear from a friend or loved one who is away, and you hear nothing at all . . . this can create worry for you.

On another note (and perhaps a less worrisome one), you might simply receive news that something has been canceled.

The Ace of Swords suggests a new beginning or new thoughts and ideas that may emerge from this loss, cancelation, or deterioration that you learn about.  Whatever the matter may be for you personally, Scorpio, the Ace of Swords indicates that you will learn the truth of a matter.  Strength in adversity is the hallmark of this Ace – “out of something bad, something good emerges.”  Sow whatever you’re dealing with, Scorpio, there is victory in at least finding out the truth by cutting through the layers of confusion and illusion.

Even difficult situations are better when we are aware of them and understand, because that means we can work on changing, adjusting, or correcting where possible.  You are not going to stay in the dark – you’ll learn what you need to know so that you can act accordingly.

********************

Note:  For this 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.

Wishing you an abundant and happy November!! 

Many Blessings,

If you liked this month’s Tarot-Scopes, let me know in the comments below – so that I will know to do this again in the future.

tarot cardsHere are the Tarot-Scopes by Sun Sign for the month of September.  For this feature, I am using 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 both of the energies listed below could apply to you – or perhaps one may be more prominent for you than the other.

Keep in mind that a single card pulled for a given sign will not represent everything you experience during the month.  It is a significant theme of the month that you will probably see or relate to in one way or another. But it’s not the sum of the whole.  It is, however, one important aspect or theme that the Tarot wants to bring to the attention of each Sun Sign.

This month, I am using the Morgan Greer Tarot deck.


Hierophant - Morgan Greer TarotARIES:  The Hierophant
If you need guidance or answers, Aries, you can find what you need through a mentor, teacher, adviser, or an authority figure.  You may have to follow the traditional “chain of command” and adhere to certain rules, but someone holds the wisdom that you seek.

This month, you may have to stick to convention and tradition; it’s not a time to fix what isn’t broken.  Instead, follow the procedures that are tried and true – and that work.


For now, you might have to “play the game” with groups or institutions, but consider that this is also a way to get answers when you show cooperation and respect.  This doesn’t mean that you have to agree with everything coming at you, but there is always a “right” time to initiate change, and now is probably not the best time for that.


3 of Swords - Morgan Greer TarotTAURUS: 3 of Swords
Dark clouds are looming, and the resulting rain can bring a shower of heartbreak, Taurus.  Something may be amiss in your life, so don’t get caught looking the other way.  Acknowledge a difficult issue, even if it’s painful to do so.

It’s time to confront your pain and difficult feelings to get to the heart of the matter that troubles you.  This is probably something you can no longer ignore, Taurus.  What you thought was true may not be true at all, and avoiding such an issue won’t create what you really want.

Your challenge this month is to rise above past attachments and any coinciding fears.  Look at what can still be – instead of trying to look at “what could have been.”  Cut through the disappointment or heartbreak and see what can still be, or what you can still do or create.




7 of Swords - Morgan Greer TarotGEMINI:  7 of Swords
Something around you may feel secretive or deceptive.  It’s time for you to be stealthy, Gemini.  When dealing with opposing forces, you need to be just as crafty and cunning to prevent something being taken from you or having something happen behind your back.  Also be careful about using words that somehow can get twisted or turned against you.  Someone may try to “put words in your mouth” to make it seem as if you said something else entirely different than what you meant.

Locked doors and windows are said to keep the honest folks out, and this month, it’s best that you do exactly that.  Don’t leave something to chance, and don’t assume that nobody wants what you have or that they would never go to the effort to take something from you – and this applies to others taking undue credit that belongs to you, Gemini!

If you’re thinking of doing something less-than-honest, Gemini, think again!  You could very well be caught, and it’s just not going to be worth it.  And know that living a lie is not the way to go either.  It’s just not going to be worth it in the long run to betray or deceive others.  After all, you know it’s not how you want to be treated either!  Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you!


Reversed 6 of Swords - Morgan Greer TarotCANCER: Reversed 6 of Swords
Feeling like you’re in a rut, Cancer?  This may be a time of spinning your wheels and not getting anywhere.  You may long to be set free from some burden, but you can’t seem to find the way out.  Old issues could come to your attention once again – things you thought were resolved long ago.  Those issues and the patterns created need to be dealt with in order for you to be set free.

Be prepared to do some rethinking on your issues to determine if there is something from which you need to detach so that you’ll be freer to move forward – and without that excess baggage to trip you up and cause restrictions.

You may need to change your attitude about something.  However, making such an adjustment may be difficult for you if you are too caught up in feelings of hopelessness and self-pity.  If you can find the strength to step back from all of this, Cancer, take a deep breath, and start working first on how you really feel about things, you can start making the shift from the stormy thoughts and feelings toward the kind of attitudes, beliefs, ideas, and views that will allow you some relief.


7 of Cups - Morgan Greer TarotLEO:  7 of Cups
A lot of choices may be in front of you this month, Leo – but which choice is the best one for you personally?  That may be the tough question.  But you have to decide in order to make strides!  Let your daydreams and imagination show you what you want to accomplish, and then know that you have to find a way to ground those visions into reality.  Consider which options among various choices will be of most help to you.

Be clear about the choices in front of you.  Don’t be ruled by emotion alone, as tempting as it may be.  Let some logic have a say, too.  This is not the time to trust everything at face value, as something might not be what it seems on the surface.

Fantasy, imagination, and dreams do have their own importance, Leo.  But nothing ever really comes from that unless you make it a reality through your own planning, effort, and action.  Commit to doing what it takes to reach your goal . . . even if your immediate goal is as simple as cleaning house or getting the laundry done.  Do what you need to do, whatever is, and stop putting things off.  Procrastination will get you nowhere.

 

King of Rods - Morgan Greer TarotVIRGO:  King of Rods
You may encounter an opportunity to be a leader or role model for others to follow. Show everyone what you’re made of, while you also show them what they are capable of accomplishing as well. Your guidance, direction, and good advice to others could make an important, positive difference for someone.

This month, you may be called upon to take charge of a situation.  Perhaps you will have to take a bold stance, as this is not going to be the time to sit back among the crowd and play it safe.  Be the leader that you are capable of being – whatever that will mean for you personally.  And sometimes, it can be as simple as taking charge of your own life, Virgo.  Be willing to step up and do it.

A desire to begin something new may be strong, but be careful that you are also following through on things and not leaving a lot of loose ends to tie up later.  This card asks you to be determined to stick with anything that you start now.  See it through to reach your goals!  The King of Wands calls on you to learn the lesson of leadership — and the determination and reliability that a leader needs.  A leader will sacrifice many of his own needs for the good of his followers.  A leader needs to be strong enough to carry his decisions through, and he needs to be self-disciplined.


3 of Rods - Morgan Greer TarotLIBRA:  3 of Rods
In whatever way you’ve set your ships out to sail, Libra, they are coming back with reward!  Favorable things are on the horizon, and while these things might still feel a bit out of your reach in this moment, they are just around the corner for you.

Opportunity is on the horizon, so remember that when you ask yourself, “What’s next?”  Look toward the future.  Give yourself credit for how far you’ve come to date, and set some new goals for yourself.  If you make some solid intentions and apply the required efforts, you’ll soon be watching some positive things unfold.

You’ve probably had to exercise a lot of patience lately, dear Libra – but the good news is that your patience pays off!  If you feel as though you’ve had to “go it alone” and have had no help, this may finally come to an end.  Someone may arrive who helps eliminate any apprehension you’ve been feeling and may provide you with something that could help you turn an idea into reality.  This is a card that often comes up when you are being offered help — or when help is on the way, even if you don’t realize it yet.

 

The Chariot - Morgan Greer TarotSCORPIO:  The Chariot
It’s a time to get things done, Scorpio!  But you are going to have to focus.  Competing interests may try to sway you from the goal, but the reigns are in your hands to pull things back into alignment.  It’s up to you to guide your life responsibly and in the directions you intend to go.  The reigns represent your control and your responsibility in life.

Be self-motivated so that you don’t have to wait on others to see what they will do.  You know what you want to do and where you want to go . . . so go for it. Utilize self-discipline, and get it done!  Success awaits you if you drive forward.

Put problems in your rear view mirror, and move onward!  Leave your troubles behind in the dust.  You can master whatever you are doing.  Triumph can be yours.  What is it that has you fired up and ready to go?  That’s a lot of inspiration calling out to you, Scorpio, and you are being urged to answer that call of inspiration.  Don’t hold back.  Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

 

6 of Rods - Morgan Greer TarotSAGITTARIUS:  6 of Rods
This month speaks of success, Sagittarius!  There is victory for a job well done.  The 6 of Rods brings with it a nice feeling of accomplishment after completing a challenge.  Recognize how hard you’ve been working and how far you have come!  Your battle to gain victory has not likely been an easy one, but that victory is there for you!  It’s hard-earned and much deserved.

Don’t forget to credit those who helped you reach this place of victory and success!  Remember, somebody has helped you along the way, whether in big or little ways, so share the glory with others.

If you ever get discouraged this month and feel like giving up . . . DON’T!  Your efforts will be rewarded.  Somebody appreciates what you are doing, and you can make a difference.  So don’t give up the battle.  You are working on something worthwhile, and it’s important for you to stay the course.


Page of Rods - Morgan Greer TarotCAPRICORN:  Page of Rods
Capricorn, say YES to opportunities that will allow you to learn and grow this month.  Something may get you excited and interested, and you feel a strong desire to pursue it further.  Go with that feeling, because this is a great time for you to launch a new project or undertake a new avenue of study.

Messages or exciting news can make their way to you at this time, Capricorn. The Page of Rods brings high energy and a lot of enthusiasm to go with it!  Enjoy the people and the things you are engaged in.Life is prepared to give your self-esteem a nice boost.  The experiences which present themselves to you will include new knowledge about yourself and all that you are truly capable of doing.  It’s a time to let your confidence and your ability shine.  You are encouraged to set goals for yourself according to your real ambitions — not the second rate ambitions you may have previously set for yourself — but instead, goals that truly reveal your own personal talent and skills.  You just might surprise yourself at how much you actually know and can do – and what you can learn!

 

9 of Rods - Morgan Greer TarotAQUARIUS:  9 of Rods
If you’re feeling like a battle weary solider right about now, Aquarius, know that the battle is nearing an end.  Something may have wounded you recently or in the past, but you really are wiser – and a lot stronger – for it!  Don’t let your guard down just yet, Aquarius.  You still need to keep a watchful eye on your surroundings or on the matters which have been troublesome for you.  Be aware, and this will help you avoid making mistakes that you made in the past.

There may still be some issues ahead before you reach the finish line and can put this chapter to rest.  But you’ve learned a lot about what is happening and how others are behaving, so it won’t be a surprise if they make one last ditch effort to gain or “win” at your expense.  Be prepared, alert, and watch your back.  You are in a good position to deal with this now.  Stand up for yourself, and don’t let others push you around or bully you.

Remember, Aquarius – you are not beaten unless you decide that you are!  Know that victory comes to those who endure.  Be patient.  Plan your next course of action, and think before you leap into something.  Preparation and planning are important at this time.  Even if someone or something is demanding a lot from you, discipline will get you through to carry out whatever tasks are required.

 

The Sun - Morgan Greer TarotPISCES:  The Sun
Happiness and playful times are in store for you this month, Pisces!  You may experience a happy ending to your story or otherwise receive some really good news.  This is your time to embrace life like never before!  Warmth, optimism, and great joy are the vibrations for you to claim this month!

Success and luck are there for you; in fact, you may be like a magnet for positive experiences.  Attracting love and pleasurable events will be easy for you.  What you want can be yours (within reason of course).

If things haven’t been going well, expect a turn for the better, Pisces!  The Sun is liberating, and its energy helps you get beyond the trappings of a brick wall and back out into the light of life.  Live your life with enthusiasm and joy, Pisces, and watch even more of that come your way!

Many Blessings,

Velvet Angel

Wishing you a Happy September!!

Here are the Tarot-Scopes by Sun Sign for August 2012.  For this feature, I am using 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 both of the energies listed below could apply to you – or perhaps one may be more prominent for you than the other.

This month, I have used the Glastonbury Tarot.  Written and Illustrated by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma; © 1999 Wieser Books

 

9 of Staffs - Glastonbury TarotARIES:  9 of Staffs (Strength)
Set your boundaries this month, Aries, and be prepared to enforce them as needed.  Boundaries are only useful if they are enforced.  You may need to guard or protect something that is important to you.  Because of a past battle or hurtful issue, you know you must be “on-the-ready” for whatever comes.  And you need to be prepared so that the element of surprise doesn’t sneak up on you.

Be like the warrior or the soldier, Aries.  Take a stand for what is yours.  Protect your interests in a matter.  You may have to defend yourself or your beliefs.  Stand strong, and stick to your convictions.  Be confident, even in the face of disagreeable people.

Just don’t let your guard down, Aries.  Not yet!  A battle may have been won, but the “war” is still ahead before you can cross the finish line and finally rest and relax.  There is still a challenge ahead, but being prepared will take you far.  You are stronger than you know!  Somewhere within you, that last reserve of strength is waiting for you to claim it as you prepare to conquer a final battle before the finish line.

 

Hierophant - Glastonbury TarotTAURUS:  The Hierophant
If you are in need of answers, Taurus, it’s a good time to consult with a mentor, guide, teacher, or other adviser.  Guidance is available if you need it.  Your situation may have certain “rules” that need to be followed.  It’s not a time to fix what isn’t broken, but a time to stick to convention and tradition.

It is also possible that you may have an opportunity to share your knowledge with others.  Someone may be asking you for advice or guidance.  Whatever knowledge you have may be the missing piece of the puzzle for someone who is seeking answers.

It’s a time to stick to the tried and true this month.  It’s not the best time for stand out and draw attention.  So even if you have some innovative ideas on the front burner, you might have to place those on the backburner for now instead.  This doesn’t mean those ideas won’t have value, but keep in mind that there will be a right time for all things.  It’s not a time to rock the boat, but just go with the flow. 


4 of Vesicas - Glastonbury TarotGEMINI:  4 of Vesicas (Integrity)
Are you putting up too many boundaries, Gemini?  Or conversely, not enough?  It’s a time to be practical and focus on business and stability this month.  If you are determined to just hold on and protect what you already have, this doesn’t allow any leeway for more to come to you.

On the other hand, if you don’t have sufficient boundaries in place, who is guarding the hen house from the foxes?  See what I mean?  It’s necessary to pay attention to what is happening in your financial life.

What you need is available, but it’s necessary for you to take care of your resources and structure your foundations so that there is room to build more.  It’s a great time to consider spending money on the things that will help you enhance a business.  Don’t let things become stagnant.  It takes money to make money, but the right investments will pay off for you in the future.

 

Queen of Staffs - Glastonbury TarotCANCER:  Queen of Staffs
Have you taken a good look at your horizons lately?  What do you want to manifest, Cancer?  What creative fire is burning with you?  Whatever it is, it needs to be nurtured.  If you ignore your passions, eventually they will diminish like the waning embers of a fire.

You’ve got a take-charge energy waiting for you to use it, Cancer.  This is a great month to get in there and get things accomplished!  Be that go-getter and handle things with authority.

This is a very impressive, competent, and self-aware energy.  It brings you the conviction that you are doing what is right for you in the life you are living.  It involves nurturing your self-confidence, ambition, and competence.  If you are in need of support or encouragement, this Queen signifies that you are likely to receive that support in a way that is fulfilling and truly helpful to your needs. 

 

8 of Chalices - Glastonbury TarotLEO:  8 of Chalices (Renewal)
Leo, it’s time to shed what is outworn, outdated, and simply doesn’t work for you anymore.  This is like shedding a coat when the weather changes.  Wearing a coat when it’s warm out would be uncomfortable.  The same is true in life – wearing or holding on to that which now makes you uncomfortable will only slow you down.

It’s graduation time, as you move from one thing that may have once been meaningful into something new that may be somewhat unfamiliar territory for a while.  You are ready to move to the next level.  A new journey awaits you, and it’s your choice to get on that path or stay on the old and familiar.

Life continually changes, Leo.  Nothing stays the same.  If it does, it only becomes stagnant.  What are you ready to walk away from and change in your life?  While you might not know what’s ahead on that new path, trust your inner guidance to lead you.  It’s time for a change.  It’s time to let yourself grow!

 

6 of Swords - Glastonbury TarotVIRGO:  6 of Swords (Perception)
Virgo, this month can take you away from some things that have troubled you.  Situations may now begin to bring smoother and calmer roads ahead.  It’s a time where you can put conflict and stress behind you, so that you can find the peace you deserve.

This month can be like an important transition point for you.  While all the struggles might not be over, for now, there is a time to rest and find peace from the storms.  And in this, you can become renewed to handle what is ahead of you.

This transition also brings to you a new perception of your situation.  You may be leaving some things behind, but new and fresh horizons beckon you.  A change of pace may be in store for you this month.  Welcome that change, because it’s leading you to something more fulfilling.

 

5 of Staffs - Glastonbury TarotLIBRA:  5 of Staffs (Empowerment)
When lightning strikes, it also illuminates, Libra!  A difficult situation or a competitive situation may be the opportunity for you to bring out your personal best!  Look at challenges as a force of motivation in your life.  Show yourself and others that you are up to the challenge.

Through a challenge or a struggle, the 5 of Staffs from the Glastonbury Tarot suggests that you will become empowered and more aware than you’ve been in a long time.  There can be strength in conflict, so if you have felt like giving up, get back in the game instead.  Engage!

Muster a competitive spirit and know that you’ve got what it takes.  Go for what you believe in, even if you have to push a few buttons in the process.  You can’t please all the people all the time, so you might as well put some focus into pleasing yourself, Libra.


Chariot - Glastonbury TarotSCORPIO:  The Chariot
You’ve got control of a situation, Scorpio.  While there may be competitive distractions trying to move you off course, you hold the real control, so it’s a matter of using that control for your benefit.

Stick to your goals and you’ll reach the finish line.  Triumph is the reward you seek, so keep your eye on the prize, because you can achieve it!

If things have felt stuck lately, this is a time when you can expect things to start moving.  It’s a time where decisiveness and focused willpower will help you get ahead.  As you start gaining momentum, that energy feeds upon itself, and you have opportunity to create the path that you desire.  There is triumph over adversity!  Progress is at hand!

 

3 of ChalicesSAGITTARIUS:  3 of Chalices (Celebration)
There is love in abundance for you this month, Sagittarius!  Make the most of this happy energy that can bring reasons for you to celebrate in August!  Look around and see all that you have to be grateful for – especially the people you love and cherish.

Opportunity for fun times will be there, Sagittarius.  You may have a chance to spend time with a small group of friends or family.  And the time is meant for you to enjoy and create happy memories.

Allow yourself to lighten up and relax.  Life doesn’t have to be taken so seriously every single day.  Focus on the people and the things you most enjoy.  If you’ve had to be patient for something, you may find how that patience is starting to pay off for you.  Good news may be on the way to you!

 

7 of Chalices - Glastonbury TarotCAPRICORN:  7 of Chalices (Fantasy)
Various options may be in front of you, Capricorn, and you might not be sure which one to choose.  Think carefully before making a firm choice.  Base your choices on something more than just a short-term goal or a pleasure in the moment.  Base decisions on your long-term and future goals.  Essentially, avoid seeking instant gratification when your choices and resources might be better spent in a different manner.

You may find yourself daydreaming about possibilities, ideas, or desires.  Daydreaming is a creative process.  But know that a time will come for which you need to turn those dreams into something more tangible – or else they will merely remain pie-in-the-sky hopes.  So look for ways to start grounding those dreams and hopes.  Make choices that will help you manifest what you really want for the “bigger picture” of your life, Capricorn.


8 of Vesicas - Glastonbury TarotAQUARIUS:  8 of Vesicas (Patience)
It’s a time to really apply yourself to your work, projects, or important endeavors.  Success is available if you pay attention to details and be patient with the process.

You may find joy from your work or personal projects this month.  Productive days can be yours, and one of the best rewards is the feeling of accomplishment and having done a job well.

The bigger rewards might not come right away, but remember that what you are doing and learning right now will lead the way to bigger things to come.  Others may appreciate what you are doing or creating, and that acknowledgment is a wonderful force of inspiration and motivation to keep you going.  Stay focused, and enjoy the pleasures of getting lost and absorbed in something that has meaning and value to you.  That project can be even more significant in times to come!


10 of Chalices - Glastonbury TarotPISCES:  10 of Chalices (Happiness)
Pisces, joy and happiness vibrate strongly for you this month!  If you’re not happy, you should be!  The 10 of Chalices suggests that there is or will be something for you to be quite pleased about this month.

This is a good time to put your family ahead of other things.  Enjoy the people you love and who you love you back.  Family connections can bring a lot of happiness, so don’t miss out!

With this uplifting card, your wishes and dreams may have already come true for you, leaving you fulfilled, content, happy, and thankful.  There is a sense of satisfaction, and you may be “taking it all in” and be pleased with what you see.  This is a beautiful energy that is most welcome in our lives!  And if you don’t see it right now, look for it just around the corner, Pisces.

Many Blessings,

Velvet Angel

Here are the Tarot-Scopes by Sun Sign for July 2012.  For this feature, I am using 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 both of the energies listed below could apply to you – or perhaps one may be more prominent for you than the other.

This month, I have used the Waking the Wild Spirit Tarot deck.  This deck is by Poppy Palin and published by Llewellyn in 2002.


Queen of FireARIES:  Queen of Fire (Wildwitch)
Aries, there is no one person on this Earth who is exactly like you.  Appreciate who you are and be confident.  Don’t let it matter who believes in you or who doesn’t.  The only thing that matters is how you believe in yourself.

The energy is strong for you to get things done and accomplish a lot this month. So there is no time for self-doubt or questioning who’s on your side.  Focus on being on your own side.  You can literally be your own best friend.

Make goals and then be prepared to take action in order to achieve them.  It’s time to be proactive and not allow anyone or anything to get in your way.  It’s time to take charge of your life and actively participate in the world that you are creating.  This is your spark of life and your time to shine brightly.

Nurture your creativity and enjoy the process of manifestation.  This energy can be used for your benefit, so you are encouraged to make the most of it.  Get excited!  Your go-getting behavior can serve as an excellent role model for anyone else who needs to get moving in their own lives.  Show them how it’s done, Aries!

Aries:  What will you manifest this month?  What gets your excitement, enthusiasm, and passionate fires burning strongly?  That is where to focus!

 

Ten of WaterTAURUS:  Ten of Water (Calm)
Stay calm, Taurus.  Be like the heron who patiently waits until it’s time to take further action on a situation.  Don’t jump to conclusions or make needless assumptions.

This is a time to consider your personal dreams.  What is that makes you feel the happiest?  Do you have that in your life right now?  If not, how can you get it?  The Ten of Water suggests that haste will not get you what you want, but a calm approach will do wonders to help you attain your heart’s desire.

Joy, happiness, and abundance are there for you, Taurus.  Take some quiet time to give thanks for the people and things in your life that you’re grateful for, and this will help you achieve even more joy.

Whatever support you need will be there – including the inner support that is a gift you can give to yourself when you need it.

Taurus:  How can you create a calmness in your life that brings you peace and joy?  What fulfills you emotionally?

 

InterpreterGEMINI:  Interpreter (Spirit Guide)
Wondering whether to follow tradition or whether to stand out and rock the proverbial boat, Gemini?  The Interpreter asks you to fully “interpret” a situation so you’ll clearly see which option is right for you.  Make your choices based on wisdom – and if you need guidance, be sure to ask someone who’s been there and knows what to do.

When communicating with others, practice the art of truly listening.  If you are merely “hearing” what someone is saying, you’re probably spending too much time thinking of what you’ll say next or thinking about how you feel – and that’s not listening.  Be fully present in your communications with others.

If you are seeking answers, consult with a mentor, teacher, guide, an authority figure, or a spiritual advisor who can help.  Lead others by example and take the high road when in doubt.  As you examine the beliefs of a group or a community, this will also help you to establish your own beliefs.

Adhere to the rules at this time, but know that if you’re following a tradition that you don’t resonate with, you can work on making the changes.  But consider that for right now, it’s not yet time to announce it if you are choosing a different path than what someone else expects of you.  A better time will come later to make that kind of announcement.

Gemini:  What traditions are you following?  What expectations do others have of you, and what expectations do you have for yourself?

 

Reversed 7 of EarthCANCER:  Reversed Seven of Earth (The Journey)
Whatever journey you are traveling at this time, it could be a bit bumpy, Cancer.  You might feel that you’re not making big accomplishments or getting very far with regard to your goals.

Don’t ignore the need for assessment in your life.  By taking the time to evaluate where things stand, you may find some gems that were previously overlooked – and you may also find some areas that needs revamped in the overall scheme of things.  But that’s what assessment is all about – to help you get back on the right track, especially if you find yourself straying from an original plan or goal.

Try to appreciate your efforts to date – as long as those efforts were made in a genuine spirit of real intention.  After your time of assessment, you can get back on the move again with a renewed sense of purpose.

But do be sure to take the time needed in order to evaluate where you stand.  Work on getting back on the right footing, and as long as you are paying attention to this, you need not let anxiety ruin things.

Cancer:  What needs your attention and evaluation at this time?  Can you identify at least one thing that is working and one thing that needs to be adjusted?

 

Page of EarthLEO:  Page of Earth (Jack-in-the-Green)
You can’t rush the seasons, Leo, so why should you expect to rush a task in front of you now?  And are you trying to be too many things all at once or attempting too many adventures for your eager mind to truly handle and grasp?  Page energy still needs some maturing and fine-tuning, but there is opportunity if you take the time to sort things out.

You need not try to be everything, like a Jack-of-all-trades.  Focus on being a practical “Jack-in-the-Green” instead.  Commit to gaining the skills and experience you need in order to get good at one important thing at a time.  This is especially important if you find that you’re a “newbie” in some area of interest.

This is a good time for study or learning a new skill.  Eliminate as many distractions as you can and let yourself absorb new and useful information in an area of interest.  Pay attention to potential opportunities, including messages that may arrive regarding money, work, or something that will bring improvement to your current circumstances.

Leo:  What will you commit to?  What do you need to study or learn in order to grow?

 

WiseWomanVIRGO:  Wisewoman (Dream Weaver)
Listen to your wise instincts this month, Virgo – and trust what you are feeling.  No need to second guess those inner thoughts, because the answers are right there within you.

But know that you may need to wait before you take action on something of particular importance.  The WiseWoman knows when to wait and when to act.  This time of “waiting” is not truly a delay – it’s a time for you to gather whatever facts and information that will be needed in making a final decision about something.  So if you jump into something with haste, you may wish you had waited for that extra piece of information that could influence your overall decision.

Even if you don’t want to accept what your “inner knowing” has to say, don’t ignore those hunches and feelings.  Let yourself be patient so that you can discover a deeper meaning that is waiting to be revealed.  Pay attention to what feels “off” as well as to what feels right.  Some answers may already be right there within you, and additional information will come to the light – so just be patient.

Virgo:  What does your intuition have to say about a matter?  Will you pay attention and trust that inner guidance?  It’s a radar to pay attention to!

 

Sky DanceLIBRA:  Sky Dancer (Morning Star)
This month presents a beautiful summer time energy for you to enjoy, Libra!  Are you planning any trips to the beach for doing something fun – such as a vacation?  The Sky Dancer is all in favor of doing exactly that!  A lot of feel-good energy is surrounding you to warm you with happiness and a sense of magical freedom.

The Sky Dancer is like childlike joy, and it’s with you to help you see the bright side of things in life.  Think of something you loved doing as a child, Libra.  Could you perhaps take part in that activity in your adult life?  The child within you wants to come out and play, and if you let her/him shine, you’ll shine in lovely ways yourself.

Happy and good news can be your story this month, Libra.  So pay attention to all that you’re blessed with and watch for more of those welcome blessings to appear.  Things are looking up, and positive change is in the air.  And the more you appreciate all your blessings, the more room there will be for even more abundance to be yours.

Libra:  What is making you happy in your life?  Don’t let negatives intrude on this question.  Just think of the people and things that are making you happy.  Focus on them, and take note of how lucky you become throughout this month!

 

Knight of AirSCORPIO:  Knight of Air (The Storyteller)
Communication is especially important for you this month, Scorpio.  This can be in the form of verbal or written communication.  The Storyteller speaks of messages or news that you may receive.

And while this version of the Knight of Air presents a calm demeanor, your own mind may be anything but calm.  You may have many things on your mind – or possibly many ideas spinning around in your head as well.

Just try not to over analyze things, Scorpio.  Take the calm approach like the Storyteller featured in this card.  It will be easier to sort things out than if you jump around to the point that you lose your focus or direction.

Change is in the air this month.  That change begins with a thought and an idea, and works its way through planning and strategizing . . . and finally the opportunity to be on a mission to manifest that idea into reality.  It’s up to you, Scorpio, to create your own story . . . and your own ending to the story.

Scorpio:  Do you have something to say?  If so, say it!  Don’t beat around the bush about it.  Work with your ideas and find your focus among all those thoughts.

 

 

Knight of FireSAGITTARIUS:  Knight of Fire (The Gypsy)
Energies run high this month, Sagittarius, and you are encouraged to make use of this zest and enthusiasm.  This isn’t a time to be shy.  Let your courage shine through.

With that said, there can also be temptation for some of you dear Scorpions to get a bit hasty in your impatience.  While taking a good risk may represent an opportunity for you at this time . . . just don’t get too hasty.  Don’t let yourself appear overly eager.  Try to tone it down a bit so that someone won’t think that you will be happy with less than what is possible.

You may feel very passionate about something you are pursuing, and the Knight of Fire Gypsy is giving you the special glance to go for it.  It’s as if he’s peeking out and looking ahead for you to let you know that the path is clear.

This is an action-oriented energy where you feel raring to go.  Just make sure that you don’t go so fast that you lose your direction in the process.  Try to keep a clear head in whatever you are engaged in.

Sagittarius:  Are you ready to take action?  What kind of excitement and adventure is waiting for you this month?  Are you ready to get things moving?  Get excited, because this is a vibrant and fiery energy that will help you get things done!


Five of AirCAPRICORN:  Five of Air (The Council)
Be aware that you could be working under flawed logic, Capricorn.  Something you thought was true may turn out to be anything but the truth.  Someone might not be playing fairly, or someone might not be sharing all the facts with you.

This is an energy of dishonor, so be prepared to do battle with some struggles that may come up for your attention.  Know which battles are truly worth fighting for, and which ones you’ll be better off to let go.

Be on guard for those who are taking the “my way or the highway” attitude.  And make sure that it’s not you, dear Capricorn, who tries to gain a victory through deceitful means.  Those kinds of victories will be short-lived and not worth the loss of respect that would taint your own reputation.  Some people like to play dirty and unfair, but just make sure you’re not among them.  Check yourself before you wreck yourself!

Capricorn:  It takes more courage to walk away from a confrontation than to engage in the struggle.  Will you think twice before engaging in battle? – at least to make sure it’s really worth your effort and your reputation that gets put on the line?

 

Two of FireAQUARIUS:  Two of Fire (Flame)
The Two of Fire is like a light to show you the way, Aquarius.  You have choices and opportunities to choose from this month.  You hold a lot of potential in your hands at this time, so what you do with that is important.  It’s up to you.

Taking action on a solid plan can bring you rewards a bit later.  All the rewards might not come immediately; there may still be some time to wait in order to see those ships come in with a return on investment.  But action is the key word.

Have you ever thought about the Law of Attraction and how the word “action” is contained in attraction?  There is your secret to the Law of Attraction, Aquarius!  It’s all about action.  Wishes, hopes, and dreams are all wonderful things, but to make them real, it takes effort and action.

Aquarius: Can you take a look at the big picture and see how the things you do right now fit into that scene?  Do some planning and then take action to ultimately bring the returns you seek.

 

P4 of WaterISCES:  Four of Water (Blood Bond)
We normally see a more dreary scene behind the Four of Water energy.  But in a typical of Four of Cups/Water card we also see the gift within the clouded hand.  Here, the bonds between people are expressed.

So even in those moments of confusion, doubt, lethargy, or unhappiness, there is something of value that’s trying to get your attention.  Look at the important bonds you have in your life.  There are people you love, and people who love you.

On page 276 of the Wild Spirit book, we are told:  “We have joined hands and that we, as a couple, will show the others how to work in harmony with each other, acting as a living sign of the love that can flow between us all.”

Take a second look, Pisces, because things are probably not as bad as they might at first seem!

Pisces:  Remember that what you do in life sets an example for others.  What can you look around and appreciate in your life right now?  What are your gifts?  With whom do you share bonds?



Many Blessings,

Velvet Angel

Here are the Tarot-Scopes by Sun Sign for the month of June.  For this feature, I am using 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 both of the energies listed below could apply to you – or perhaps one may be more prominent for you than the other.

This month, I have used the Housewives Tarot deck.  This quaint deck is by Paul Kepple and Jude Buffum.  © 2004 Published by Quirk Books.

 

ARIES:  Death
This month, you may have a need to look at what is outdated or expired in your life. Yet you may be reluctant to let it go.  Know that hanging on to what can no longer serve you in healthy ways is detrimental to your progress.

Death is a card of change and transition, and while change can be uncomfortable to deal with, Aries, consider the alternative . . . where stagnation keeps things stuck without any progress or gain.

Please don’t resist the necessary changes, Aries.  Resistance and denial only makes it harder.  Whatever ending you are facing, know that it’s necessary to make a fresh new beginning and a tastier future.  Out with the old, and in with the new!

What has turned sour in your life, Aries, and is ready to be thrown out?

 


 

TAURUS:  Queen of Cups
You may spend time with your mother at this time — or someone who is like a mother figure to you.  This could even be a loyal, supportive friend and confidante whose presence helps lift your spirits and makes you feel cared for.

Unconditional love, warmth, and compassion surround you.  Find the people who exhibit this kind of love in your life.  Look for the good in others, but at the same time, don’t let people take advantage of your kind-hearted and giving nature.

The Queen of Cups has the ability to look on the bright side of things, and she encourages you to do the same, Taurus.  Sometimes the reliance on your intuition is more important than common sense and what is logical.

Be calm and patient.  Don’t try to control things.  Just wait until the situation shows you what it requires.  Release your attachment to the outcome.  When you do so, you will go easier on yourself, which will also help you see the larger reason that events unfold as they do.

What is your intuition telling you now, Taurus?

 

GEMINI:  King of Cups
You’ve got lots of feelings inside, Gemini, and even if you are not always comfortable with them, the King of Cups invites you to express more of yourself to others.  Lead with your heart, and let others know how you feel about them.  Tell people you love that you care.  Your actions may show that you care, but sometimes the words themselves make a positive difference.

A father or father figure may be prominent in your life – or even someone who is like a big brother.  This person could play an important role in your life this month.

Guide others with compassion and love.  You may be called upon to be that “rock” that others need to lean on.  Kindness can accomplish great things for you at this time.  Be supportive of others.  Listen with your heart, and open yourself to the emotional side of life.  This can be uplifting for you as well as others.

Who in your life needs to hear how you feel about them, Gemini?

 

 

CANCER:  Justice
This month, a situation may require that you be completely objective as you listen to all sides of a story.  And you may have to show some tough love to others as you come to conclusions that are unbiased and fair.

Justice reminds you, Cancer, that life holds both karmic consequences as well as rewards.  The rewards are always what we enjoy, but the consequences also hold valuable lessons in one’s personal growth.

The truth of a situation may come out, and some decisions may have to be made.  It’s a time to see things clearly, as situations start coming together.  Decisions should be made impartially and without letting emotions rule the game.

As you reap, so shall you sow.  You will receive what you deserve, whether it seems fair at the time or not.  What goes around, comes around.  So in the end, just make sure that you are doing the right, honest, and fair thing . . . and Justice’s scales will be balanced.

How are you minding your karma, Cancer?

 

LEO:  Nine of Cups
Something you have wished for may manifest this month, Leo!  Something your heart desires may come true, so think carefully about what you want.  Be clear what you are asking the universe for, because that wish just might come true!

Make time to put worries aside this month and focus on pleasure, fun, and the things and people in your life for which you feel grateful.

You may be pleasantly surprised this month with how things fall into place and turn out better than expected.  Things flow easily and gracefully.  Enjoy these happy times and make the most of them.  Outer situations will be there to help you claim this happy place.  But remember, happiness is always a choice.

What do you wish for, Leo?

 

 

 

 

VIRGO:  The Fool
A new journey awaits you, Virgo!  It’s time to start a new chapter in some area of your life – and you are the person who knows better than anyone else exactly what area this is in.

You may feel a little disorganized or confused, but fear need not hold you back!  Instead, let enthusiasm and excitement propel you forward.  You don’t have to know all the answers to get started.  The important thing is to just start already!

You will find what you need as you go along.  Sometimes the best things in life don’t start with a firm plan.  This doesn’t mean to approach things blindly, as we should always at least “look before we leap,” but the Fool is all about having faith in yourself and the possibilities.

The Fool shows how you can be a “diamond in the rough,” Virgo.  Even if you are starting something new and have little or no experience, this new beginning can offer a lot of potential.  So don’t be afraid of it. Embrace it with a smile, while you follow your heart to do something you’ve always wanted to try.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, Virgo.  What will you do with it?

 

LIBRA:  High Priestess
Don’t expect answers to be spoon-fed to you, Libra.  In fact, you may have to wait before some answers are finally revealed, so be patient.  In the meantime, pay attention to your intuition.  Pay attention to what feels right – and also what doesn’t feel so right.  There’s a reason for you to feel the things you do, even if you don’t understand it all just yet.

Silence is golden.  If you are trying to decide whether to reveal something or keep it to yourself, now is the time to be silent about it and just keep things to yourself.  Wait until the time is right to reveal your secrets – and to the people you know you can trust.

Try to simplify things.  Find some quiet time for yourself.  Take some personal time away from endless distractions, television, empty talk, etc.  Use the quiet space you create for yourself to recharge your intuitive batteries.

Keep in mind that outcomes depend on a lot of choices, and more than likely, not all of the choices are yours to make.  You as well as others are making decisions that will shape the future.  Thus, it’s a time to rethink a situation, listen carefully to your feelings and intuition (or gut instinct), and wait for things to unfold a bit more before taking definite action.  You may need more solid information to make good choices, and only time is going to provide that to you.

What does your intuition have to say, Libra?

 

SCORPIO:  The Star
It’s a great time to be hopeful, Scorpio!  The Star is a good omen which surrounds you this month.  It’s the positive kind of energy that literally invites you to “wish upon a star!”  It also asks you to reach for the stars. Believe in yourself and the dreams you wish to manifest.

The star is a light in the darkness — it is hope!  Anything in life is easier to cope with when we have hope.  If there has been something that hasn’t been going as well as you wanted in your life lately, the Star lets you know that you can expect a turn for the better!  Even when problems seem overwhelming, we can still feel hope; it is part of our survival instinct.  Those who carry hope in their hearts will always fare better than those who don’t.

Use the positive light of the Star to guide you in your efforts.  Your life is what you make of it.  Focus on your blessings and work on realizing your true potential.

Now is a time to make your wish!  Although the idea of wishing upon a star might seem silly sometimes . . . the card of the Star lets you know that wishes, hopes, and dreams can come true!!  A wish made with hope, faith, and belief can bring so much to you!

Hang on to hope and faith, because better times are on the way. Your quest has not been in vain. There is light at the end of the tunnel! Wish upon a star, because dreams CAN come true!!

How are you shining in life, Scorpio?

 

SAGITTARIUS:  Nine of Pentacles
Look at all you’ve accomplished so far, Sagittarius!  Doesn’t it feel great when you pause for a moment and really see and appreciate your progress to date?

You are in a very good position to reach a goal this month, so continue applying practical effort, and focus on the results you want to achieve.  Stay organized and disciplined in your efforts, because any sacrifices you’ve been making are about to pay off quite nicely.

Now is your time to prove that you are able to independently get the job done.  You may not be relying too extensively on others.  In fact, a lot of what you are doing may be solo.  But you’re finding the rhythms and cycles that work for you, and that’s what matters.

Whatever gift comes your way through this wonderful energy, Sagittarius, be sure to appreciate its value as the treasure it is and what it means to you for now and the future.  Even if the only gift you find is the simple realization that you’re going to make it . . . things are going to work out . . . and you’ll have enough, just know that the improved times you find now can lead to even better ones ahead. The secure feeling you get with this card is a gift in itself.  You’ve made it this far in whatever you are striving for, and it feels pretty darn good!   Be sure to enjoy that feeling!

What are your successes so far, Sagittarius?  (It’s okay to take a moment to brag on them!)

 

CAPRICORN:  Reversed Ace of Wands
Something doesn’t seem to be quite as productive as you hoped or expected, Capricorn.   While you may think you are clearing away the dust for a fresh start, it looks like something is holding back on you and refuses to budge.  This can make all of your efforts feel in vain.

Identify where you are experiencing a false start.  Understand where the plan went wrong so you can readjust some things to try again.

You may experience some delays or some kind of setback which can make you anxious.  Look at this kind of issue as a chance to work out and fine tune some details that could make all the difference between your ultimate success . . . or failure.

Things are still early in the game, so now is a better time to go back to the drawing board than later on.  And just make sure that whatever you are trying to achieve is something you still feel passionate about.  If you don’t feel excited about something that isn’t quite going right . . . maybe it’s a sign that you are involved in the wrong thing.

What is holding you back, Capricorn?  Have you lost your passion and excitement for something that seemed right, but now might not be right for you after all?

 

AQUARIUS:  Reversed Seven of Swords
This month, the air may be cleared on some kind of dishonest or deceptive situation.  You may be “seeing the light” now on a situation for which you were recently “in the dark.”  Someone may have lied to you or misled you, but the truth is now revealed or soon will be.  It’s possible that you might even get an apology from someone who has done you wrong.

If it is you, Aquarius, who needs to make amends, know that it’s better to handle this sooner rather than later.  Procrastination only makes an apology all the harder to make.  The truth can hurt when it’s faced, and confessions aren’t easy to make, but just remember that consequences can be worse if you don’t just come forward and come clean with things.

The truth does a great job of clearing the air.  It brings a new perspective to a situation when you stop believing lies and excuses . . . and when you stop lying to yourself as well.  The 7 of Swords is about coming to terms with the truth, and that can be a very uncomfortable, but necessary, thing to do!

You may have been allowing someone to get away with something for which you should have put a stop to long ago.  This is the time to stop pretending that something unfair or deceitful isn’t happening.  Things are out in the open now.  You may be clearing the air once and for all . . . and calling a spade a spade!

What is the real truth, Aquarius?  What have you opened your eyes to? 

 

PISCES:  Four of Swords
Ahhh, life can be peaceful and refreshing, Pisces.  The Four of Swords suggests that it’s time to take a break.  Take some downtime – or even take that vacation you’ve been thinking about but haven’t made time or plans for yet.

This is your chance to take a break on some level.  Retreat from the noise of life and let mind, body, and soul recuperate and recharge.

This is not the time to rush into big actions or make earth-moving decisions, Pisces.  Things are meant to be calmer and more contemplative for the time being.  There will be opportunity later to get back into full swing.  But for now, take your time.  Slow down.  Give yourself the break you need and deserve.

When excess demands are made on your time, the Four of Swords encourages you to say “no” to this.  You need to protect your own limits and boundaries, and sometimes it means that you’ll have to say “no” to others.  Put that word in your vocabulary, and don’t be afraid to use it!

Can you sit back and allow yourself be cool, calm, and collected, Pisces?

 

Many Blessings,
