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

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

This Week’s Wisdom Message . . .
Mother
The Mother of the Master Tarot corresponds to our traditional Tarot Empress. This week, the theme is all about unconditional love. Here we see Mother Mary who represents those who have the capacity to love beyond themselves, who care deeply, nourish, and surrender. We meet the Mother in us when we unconditionally give and love.
Look for the situations and people in your life this week who awaken this selfless love within you. Perhaps it will be a child – either yours or someone else’s. Perhaps it is an elder parent who now requires your care. It might be a friend, or it may even be a perfect stranger who needs someone to care and show them warmth and compassion.
Whatever the occasion or situation, it is our capacity for mothering (loving and nurturing, whether you are male or female) that is put to the test this week. You may be called upon to be a caregiver in some capacity – an opportunity to render nurturing, guidance, and unconditional love to someone who needs that in his or her life. And if you find yourself to be the one who feels abandoned by the world and needs this kind of loving support from others, the Mother says to ask, and it shall be given. Sometimes we receive exactly what we need in ways that we could not have expected or anticipated.
Unconditional love is a source of strength that everyone needs. It is the pure confidence of knowing deep within yourself that you are accepted, cherished, valued . . . and that you are enough — strong enough, smart enough, good enough, generous enough, and impressive enough to be loved . . . just for being yourself.
As a mother, you are teacher, guide, counselor, nurse, therapist, cook, laundress, housekeeper, taxi cab driver . . . and so very much more! But it’s pretty great to be needed, and it takes a special person to fill the role of mother The Mother reminds you today how very important you are to someone . . . . and/or that someone is very important to you!
The opportunities of this week ask you to consider the judgmentalism that may permeate your world at times . . . much more obviously than love does. You judge others. They judge you. We all judge ourselves as well. And while this is happening, the concept of love and simple acceptance gets trampled beneath all the “shoulda, woulda, oughta’s” and the “have-to’s” that make up life.
For at least this week, the Mother asks us to try not to criticize anyone, to not think badly of anyone or be angry with people. And of course . . . also apply this advice to yourself, too!! Through the week, try to let go of expectations that might normally arise within you. Doing this could be harder than it sounds, but if someone irritates you or gets on your last nerve . . . try to just let it go and shrug it off. Letting go doesn’t mean your feelings are unimportant or discounted; it simply means that by hanging on to the annoyances, you are hurting yourself more than the wrongdoer hurts you.
Realize that this is definitely not an invitation to become a doormat. Part of loving yourself is the willingness to protect yourself from mistreatment, and to not feel guilty for using your strength when necessary. But see if a smile, an extra measure of tolerance, or the simple act of kindness and gentleness makes a difference in your life as you go through the week
Many Blessings,
Velvet Angel

This Week’s Wisdom Message . . .
Three of Cups
The 3 of Cups is a lovely card to represent our week. It gives us hope, even on the darker days, to know that we will have reasons again to enjoy life and celebrate – even if that mood isn’t there in this moment.
Look to friendship and family this week. Relish in the comfort of being surrounding by loving and supportive people in your life who are there for you emotionally. Look to your true friends who are always there for you, ready and willing to be at your side like family.
Focus on the growth of relationships this week – and this includes all types of relationships in your life. The 3 of Cups is a reminder that we are meant to enjoy life. We are meant to celebrate life itself.
I know that life isn’t always good to us. Yes, there can be very bad things that happen in this world – and to us, too. But if that’s all we focus on, we are missing out on so much of the goodness that is also there. We shouldn’t wait for “this” or “that” to happen before we believe we can be happy. Happiness is not truly dependent on “this or that” to occur. Certainly there are things in life that make it a whole lot easier to feel happy in comparison to when shit hits the fan and makes it harder to feel happy within ourselves.
But regardless, happiness is a choice no matter what. The 3 of Cups asks you to embrace a happy mood this week. Be positive. Look to others for the emotional support you need in order to get there if you are having trouble doing it on your own.
The best pleasure is shared pleasure, and this card encourages you to find a reason to celebrate with someone this week – whether it’s with a significant other, your friends, or relatives. If you can’t find any reason at all to celebrate, then you are losing sight of blessings that do exist around you. So take a closer look, and see that you can at least celebrate the people in your life who love you and whom you love in return!
If you get an invitation this week, but you can’t decide if you want to go . . . the 3 of Cups urges you to say YES and accept that invitation. Don’t spend too much time alone this week. Be among friends and/or family. Do something fun just for the pure pleasure of it. Life may hold many responsibilities and commitments, but it’s supposed to be fun, too!
With such a positive theme from the Three of Cups, it’s okay (and recommended!) to put aside your troubles for a bit. You can tend to them after you’ve given yourself, family, and friends the attention that each of you need. Take a deep breath . . . and relax! You’ve worked hard, you’ve dealt with issues that needed to be handled, and you have earned the right to have a little fun and time for something that brings you pleasure! Life can be really good this week – but you’ve got to decide for yourself that it can be.
Many Blessings,
Velvet Angel

This Week’s Wisdom Message . . .
Virgo (from Astro-Tarot)
The message for us this week comes from a neat and orderly Virgo mindset. Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow? Virgo reminds us this week to be practical, organized, and to be of service to others.
Being practical and organized might seem a bit ho hum and boring, but these skills will help you be more accurate with whatever you are doing.
It’s a great week to be of service to others, especially in the work place. Lend a helping hand wherever you can. If your job involves helping others, then things should go very well.
Gardening activities can go very well this week – but if you’re in the colder zones like I am right now, you may fare best to tend to your flowers and plants in a green house or take care of them in your warm and cozy home.
Communications are on the up and up this week, and this also helps you to express your thoughts, feelings, and ideas into words.
Feeling a little crafty and creative! If so, great! This is a favorable time to work on creative projects. Your best ideas can come forward and be expressed.
Many Blessings,
Velvet Angel

This week’s question is from Deanna: “I’ve been unemployed for a year now. Do you see me finding work within the next few months?”
6 of Pentacles – The Hanged Man – The Moon
The Six of Pentacles is promising for acquiring a new job position, Deanna. But I don’t think this is going to happen within the “next few months.” It looks like the wait will be a little longer, as the Hanged Man suggests that things are still suspended for a little while.
You have been out of work for a year now, and the Hanged Man’s number is 12. The Moon’s energy is 18, so if we add six months to your total time of unemployment, this could be indicating that your time of unemployment will be about 18 months. So I am thinking that a new job will come to you in about 6 months from now.
The Moon also indicates that there may be an untapped resources that you haven’t seen yet in terms of opportunities. Perhaps there is something you have overlooked because you didn’t think you would qualify, or you didn’t think you would like it. Take a second look at any of those types of options, because you might find a gem in there. Things are not always as they seem on the surface with Moon energy.
Many Blessings!

This Week’s Wisdom Message . . .
Four of Wands
The Four of Wands foretells of a happy week with good fortune, fulfillment, and even perhaps a celebration. Now, this doesn’t mean that every single moment of every day this week will feel this nice . . . but as a whole, some nice things can come from our experiences during the week.
Take a look at your accomplishments so far. Look at what you have to be satisfied and pleased with. While you may have more to go before reaching completion of an important project or endeavor, the Four of Wands gives us reason to be pleased with our accomplishments to date.
Life itself is a gift which holds both joys and challenges. Even the small pleasures and triumphs you encounter deserve their special notice — at least as much recognition as you would give to the petty hassles and pet peeves which are annoying to you.
Life is a gift, filled each day with miracles and wonders. Look around and see all the blessings that have been bestowed upon you. It will help you appreciate all the miracles in your life — both the large and the small ones . . . all of them are important! If you take time to notice them, you not only increase the quality and enjoyment of your life, you also greatly increase the energy you use to create more of the same kinds of experiences in the future.
Count your blessings this week. Look around you. Look inside of you. Look at the good things. If you feel you don’t have a single blessing to be thankful for at this time, then take an honest look at all the things you are taking for granted! Would you miss a lot of the people or things in your life if they didn’t exist anymore? Now take a look at the things in your life which are problems to you. If they disappeared, would you be grateful for that? Look closely at the problems. See what you can do to minimize them or to at least cope with them more easily. See what you can accomplish in the area of problem resolution right now . . . so that soon, you’ll have something new to celebrate.
With the Four of Wands, you have reached a place of peace, harvest, prosperity, and reliable foundations in some area of your life. You may have reached an important milestone in your personal journey, and this is a time to pause and enjoy the results, if not an actual celebration of your arrival and completion. You may either be finishing something important that is proving to be successful with this energy, or there is evidence that you are well on your way, even if additional work is required to cross the finish line. The end zone is certainly in sight, and you can see how your efforts are paying off. This energy represents a time of happiness, reward, enjoyment, fruition, comfort, productivity . . . and even “happy endings.”
Wishing you a fabulous Four of Wands week!
Many Blessings,
Velvet Angel

This 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,

This Week’s Wisdom Message . . .
Ace of Broomsticks (Swords)
Here we are in another brand new week, and for this week, I’ve chosen the Witchy Tarot in the spirit of Halloween fun – as that is just around the corner. This deck does not really follow the traditions of RWS, so it’s a deck to get creative with. I think it’s important to read the imagery of a deck perhaps even more so than the meaning we traditionally associate with a card.
In looking at the Ace of Broomsticks, the poor rabbit ducks with a certainty that he’s going to be the witch’s lunch. But the witch holds an apple in front of her – along with that knife that looks poised and ready to carve. I don’t think the rabbit is going to be her lunch at all. He’ll be spared.
The lesson of the rabbit is that sometimes we fear things that are not going to happen. Appearances on the surface may lead us to believe that we have reason to fear, when perhaps there is no reason at all. After all, rabbits are fast. He has plenty of time to hop away and out of reach if he truly felt in danger.
So why doesn’t he run away? Chances are, this rabbit has established trust with his witch friend. He certainly looks well fed – and perhaps the apple is going to be shared with him (instead of him being the main dish for lunch). We certainly don’t see a cooking fire in the scene, so his worries seem to be leaning on the side of paranoia.
Traditionally, the Ace of Swords (Broomsticks in this deck) speaks of new ideas and beginnings. The hallmark of this Ace is “strength in adversity.” In other words, it means that out of something bad, something good emerges. Perhaps once this rabbit realizes that he didn’t need to be afraid after all, he will enjoy sharing the apple with his witch friend and develop a stronger bond of trust with her.
This Ace gives us the ability to cut through all the layers and get to the truth and heart of a matter. Understanding comes by cutting through confusion, illusion, fear, and peeling away the layers to find the core of the truth. And this witch will be doing exactly that as she peels the apple. She holds the knife, so she’s the one in control here – but contrary to the rabbit’s momentary fear, she will utilize that knife for constructive purposes.
A sword has a double blade, so we must think of both sides of an issue and weigh the pros and cons before we fully engage – or perhaps before we jump to conclusions. There are always two sides to every story, and to take the first steady steps in any endeavor, we should be aware of both sides. New beginnings may arise out of some kind of difficulty that you face this week. Stay focused and determined, because the Ace of Broomsticks can take you to a welcome breakthrough in a situation.
If problems have hindered you from achieving a goal, this Ace energy indicates a time of finding solutions and solving problems through greater insight and education. The experiences you are going through at this time (even the difficult ones) can make you wiser!
The Ace of Broomsticks also reminds us that there is opportunity in every challenge. Facing a challenge with courage, honesty, and firm resolve is the best way. The promise of this Ace is that you have the inner resources and strength needed to overcome any obstacles and to start anew.
Many Blessings,
Velvet Angel

This Week’s Wisdom Message . . .
Six of Bolers (Wheels/Pentacles)
This week, the concept of “giving and receiving” is a predominant theme to pay attention to. You may be in the position of giver, where someone can benefit from you sharing with them. It may be money, it might be a service, or it might simply be the sharing of your time.
On the other hand, you could be on the receiving end of this help or charity – so don’t be too proud to accept what is offered to you. Everybody wins from this give and take situation. Don’t deny the person who wants to help the right to feel good about providing assistance to you. Those good feelings are a reward in themselves!
Perhaps you may work out an exchange of services with someone this week – providing something for them that they need in return for what you need, whether it’s monetary or otherwise. Consider what you can spare this week and/or where you could be of help and service to those who need a helping hand. Conversely, consider what you need but don’t yet have – and who it is that may be able to help fill in the missing gaps where you are lacking.
The Six of Wheels is about giving generously. It’s not because you have to, it’s because you truly want to be of help to someone who needs your wisdom, time, or other assistance. It’s about giving graciously, but also accepting graciously if you are on the receiving end of things.
Pride does not need to stand in the way! I’m sure you’ve heard the concept of “pay it forward.” Even if you are receiving help during this week, one day you will be in a position to pay it forward and help someone else without expectation of reward or payment.
If we all strive to “pay it forward” in some way, think of what a wonderful difference we can make in this world. Together, we can touch lives through the simple act of giving and caring.
Many Blessings,
Velvet Angel
