Tarot and Art-Cast for week of Jan. 15, 2023

juli_artworld

The artist this week is Juli, @juli_artwork.  She is just starting out, so there isn’t much about her that I could find.  She is a student studying illustration and her “art captures canids and otherworldly animals with a creative twist.”   I especially love her riffs off classic paintings see:  Taurus, Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces .  Also check her on Patreon.   I love Patreon.  It is another way I choose to support artists, 5% of my profit goes to artists there.  A way to give back, what art gives to me.

And if you haven’t caught the theme yet, the month of January is in honor of this year being the Chinese year of the Water Rabbit.  Rabbits are represented in a variety of cultures.  Last week we looked at cultures where they are seen as tricksters.  However, in Chinese folklore, rabbits accompany Chang’e, the goddess of the moon, and is represented as one of the zodiacal animals.  In Japanese and Korean mythology, they also live on the moon, but they make mochi, a snack of sticky rice.  In Vietnam rabbits are seen as symbols of innocence and youthfulness, however, they have replaced the zodiacal rabbit for a zodiacal cat.

Your pondering for the week:  What is your favorite food that reminds you of your youth?  Why was that food experience special.  For fun, try to recreate that feeling.

 

Solar System highlights

This week the moon starts in Scorpio – follow your passions.  On Wednesday it moves into Sagittarius – you might want the weekend to start sooner, but if you have a defined goal this will help you stay on track.  And on Friday the moon is in Capricorn – try not to take your work home with you.  Hang your problems up with your coat.

No change from last week for the rest of the planets.  Mercury (communication and knowledge) is in Capricorn (work and discipline) compromising is key to grease your work wheels.  It is also still in retrograde until the 18th.  This is a perfect time to reflect, review and redo. After Wednesday we can finally start 2023.  Mars (action) is now direct but still in Gemini (communication and knowledge), until March 25th, 2023.  This is a 7-month stopover instead of it’s usually 1-2.  Mars is pushing us to truthfully talk and follow up with actions.  The challenge with this time is your politeness filter has been switched off.  So, it is having us double down on how to be constructive with our voice – to promote action not reaction.

Venus (beauty and harmony) is in Aquarius (innovation) until January 26th – where we can focus on updating our environment and how we experience sensuality in our lives.  Jupiter (growth) is in Aries (action) until May 24, 2023 – great for manifestation, expansion, and action.  And lastly, Saturn (structures) remains in Aquarius until the beginning of March 2023 – so innovating and modernizing your everyday life is its intention.

 

PS. Signs with an * it is a big week for you.  Capricorn this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Cancer it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in now is the time. And if you need a quick stocking stuffer.  I can supply gift certificates for all my readings.

May light be on you, around you, and within you.  Happy Solstice no tarotcast next week so I’ll “see” you all in 2023.

*****I have changed using the RWS version of the tarot names and now call the suits:  pentacles/coins is now Earth, cups is now Water, swords is now Air and wands is now Fire.  I did this because I want to work more closely with the elements that these suits represent.

 

Aries

*Chariot – Finally your planet Mars is moving forward and so the Muse of Movement would like you to take that energy and run with it.  This is a great week to start a project, set goals, move your body, and/or take a project to the next phase.  And if you don’t know where to start take the advice of Agnes Martin: “Your path is at your feet whether you realize it or not.”  The key to this week is just start moving.

 

Taurus

Eight of Fire – This week has a plethora of messages from a variety of sources.  The problem is which one to focus on.  The Muse of Messages advises to either write them all down and sort them out next week.  Or prioritize the first 8 you receive and focus on working with them.   No matter which way you choose, eyes and ears open.

 

Gemini

Nine of Earth – The Muse of Self Reliance is your cheerleader this week.  The path to ease is being confident that you can handle whatever is thrown at you.  That you will not only survive but thrive.  She reminds you if you are reading this you have endured way worse.  Use what you already know to tackle any challenges this week.  You got this.

*Magician – Where the past couple of weeks the muses have had you hold back, this week you are given a wand to conjure whatever you need.  The Muse of Manifestation is passing you the tools required to experiment and create.   This week use your imagination and curiosity to play with ideas and projects that you would like to manifest in the coming months.   She reminds you this is not about perfection or expectations.  This is about the actions that lead to discovery and materialization.

Queen of Fire – The Muse of Vibrancy is asking you to turn up your volume.  Whether that is to add vibrant colors to your wardrobe, show your art or raising your voice to be heard.  This Muse would like you to stand out.  To express your uniqueness for all the world to see.

Knight of Air – This week you need to slow down.  The Muses warns you to be careful of your extremities.  Like not running with scissors, be careful when chopping vegetables and watch where you step.  These missteps may happen on the material plane, but you also need to be careful of your words.  You can step into a situation with all good intentions but end up stepping on toes.  This week walk with more mindfulness.

 

Scorpio

Ten of Fire– The Muse of Burdens suggests relinquishing some of your tasks this week.  Be aware of not overextending your commitments and be realistic of what you can handle.  The lesson with working with this muse is to take responsibility for some things but not all things.  Others need to learn how to carry their load or learn to help you carry yours.

 

Sagittarius

Three of Earth – The Muse of Collaboration advises you to work with others this week to create more efficiency and innovation.  As they say two heads are better than one, but three heads and six hands are better still.

 

Capricorn

Page of Earth – The Muse of Critical Thinking is your helper this week.  The basic elements of critical thinking are keeping an open mind, asking questions, gathering relevant information, having cognitive flexibility, thinking through to solutions and conclusions.  This week is about being reasonable.

 

Aquarius

Five of Air – This week holds the energy of tension.  You can be pulled taunt by the interactions of others.  The Muse of Tension advises how to navigate this stormy weather by doing these five things:  take a breath before entering a situation or conversation, let go of your ego, be still, let any chaos flow pass you not through you and use silence constructively.

 

Pisces

Knight of Water – The Muse of Compassion is here to help you navigate the emotional waters within you and others.  Choice wisely who you open up to this week.  You need to practice your vulnerability but also to discern who is worthy of your heart.  This is not a lesson on guardedness but one on ask

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of April 3, 2022

Hegel’s Holiday Rene Magritte

As the saying goes April showers bring May flowers so this week, I wanted to focus on the umbrella.  Historically the first umbrella was actually a parasol. By definition, parasols are used for sun protection and umbrellas for rain. The earliest known parasols were in Egypt (2450 BCE).  They were shaped like a fan on a long handle often attached to chariots or carried over a person of the Egyptian elite while walking.  Usually, they were made with feathers or palm leaves.  The first apparent collapsible parasol appears in archaeological record in Persia around 100 years later.  The parasol spread to ancient Greece then Rome as status symbol mostly used by woman but for the first time referenced in shielding one from sun and rain.  These semi-umbrellas were made of leather.

The prototype of the modern-day umbrella was invented in China in the 11th century BCE.  Where the first silk and waterproof umbrellas were used by the nobility. After the fall of Rome, the umbrella disappeared from European fashion, until the mid-17th century and was reintroduced into Europe from China where now it was used by a wide variety of the social classes.  But the umbrella didn’t gain popularity until 1710.  Where a Persian merchant, Jean Marius, created the first light-weight umbrella, and 40 years later a French scientist, Navarre, invented the automatic push button designed umbrella we still use today.

This week is a variety of artist that use the umbrella.  Your pondering for the week:  what is your metaphorical umbrella that protects you from the harsher aspects of life?

Solar System Highlights

The Moon starts this week in Gemini – conversations can run deep and healing if you spend the time.  Also, it is a great time for brainstorming.  Then it moves into Cancer on the 7th – in the workplace watch mood swings but by the time you are into the weekend things calm down.  Nestling at home, self-care and curling up with loved ones (movie night and a nice meal?) are recommended.  Mercury is in Aries until April 11th – great for hashing out ideas but watch bossy tones. Mars (action) is in Aquarius (innovation, perspective, and long-term thinking). This is a period to experiment with innovations, but if you are trying to get something done quickly, be aware that for the next couple of weeks there might be more talking then doing.

Venus moves into Pisces on Tuesday and for most of April.  So, we move from experimenting and long-term planning to dreaming and creating more beauty and harmony in our environment and relationships. Jupiter is in Pisces until May 10th; this aspect is dreamy and holds opportunity and luck.  And from the 8th to the 18th (exactly on the 12th) Jupiter and Neptune are conjoined for the first time in 166 years. This a time for creativity, art, spirituality and hopefully will boost our collective spirit.  (Personally look at where Pisces is in your natal chart).  And lastly, Saturn remains in Aquarius for all of 2022 – so innovating and upping your game is the focus again for another year.

 

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you.  Aries this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Libra it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.

May light be on you, around you, and within you,

*Tower and Eight of Swords – The Muses of Deconstruction and Bondage has come in during your last month of your birth cycle.  Together these muses focus on fixing places where you give others power over your life.  This is about how you are not aligned to your truths like: your negative though patterns reinforced by others for their benefit or not seeing your self-worth as important as others.  Take time these next weeks, get your power back and equalize your goals with others’ aspirations before your birthday.

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of Feb. 6, 2022

Ava Roth

One of February’s vibrations is about collaboration.  How can we work and create together?  This week’s artist is Ava Roth. She has found a unique and interesting partnership.  This series is called the Honeycomb Collection.  Roth calls this an inter-species collaboration with local honeybees.  She first creates an encaustic collage (painting with or uses hot beeswax) inside embroidery hopes or frames. Roth combines elements of nature with embroidery.  Then the hoops are fixed to hive frames and placed inside honeybee hives.  The bees then build their comb around her art and sometimes on it.  Roth’s work has us ponder our interactions with nature.  Can we interact instead of colliding? And can this interaction create something even more beautiful?

*Chariot – The Muse of Momentum has given you the reins to move towards your goals with more ease this week.  However, though the Universe has given you the vehicle and gassed it up, it is up to you alone to focus this energy into a direction.  Or you will end up spending this week going in circles.

 

Taurus
Ava Roth

*Hanged One – The Muse of Inertia has come to slow things down. When everyone else is getting pushed to get things done by the planets, you may be blocked.  Instead of being frustrated see that your work is to reflect and ponder possibilities.  For this muse only shows up when something needs to be look at before acting.  This slower movement is a blessing providing you time to think and readjust before moving forward.

 

Gemini
Ava Roth

Seven of Cups – The Muse of Daydreams is inviting you to play in your imagination.  Your work is to dream bigger.  This muse gently prompts you to look at the how and why you stop yourself from imagining a bigger brighter future.  Focus on changing your “it’s impossible” to “it is possible.”

*Hermit – Last week the Muse of Organic change challenged you to let go of the old to fertilize the new.  Now the Muse of Hermitage adds to that energy with perspective and asks you to pull back from the everyday.  You need to work with the big picture.  It can be as simple as stepping back from a project to see which steps need to be tweak.  Or as complex as thinking about deeper concepts like why I am here at this place and this time, and what can I do to better my world and the world of others.

 

Virgo
Ava Roth

Page of Cups – The Muse of Joy has come to help you through an emotional time.   This energy reminds you that life though complex and at times hard also has moments of sweetness.  Your work is to see the joy.  Think of ice cream on a hot day, sun showers, fireflies, a child’s giggle, or a cat’s purr.  It’s being present to these small moments of joy that reminds us that life is good.

 

Libra

King of Wands – Last week the Muse of Metamorphosis wanted you to up your game by running your goals through the 4 components of evolution: Potential, can it be done?  Variation, are there multiple avenues to get there?  Competition, do you have to vie for resources?  And proliferation, can it be done more than once?  The Muse of Vibrance lets you spend another week on this process and cheers you on with shouts of “You got this!”

 

Scorpio

Five of Cups – This week can have its disappointment and missteps.  But the Muse of Silver Linings reminds you that with each challenge there are positive aspects that you can only find by going through this process.  Your work is to find those positive aspects that are left after the proverbial milk has been spilled.

 

Sagittarius

*Lovers – The Muse of Relationships wants you to reconnect with the ones you love.  Your work is to spend quality time with your “peeps” and fine tune your people skills.  She reminds you this quality time promotes intimacy.   So don’t try to fit everyone in this week.  Maybe just home in on the one you haven’t connected with in a while.

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of Jan 16, 2022

Betye Saar House of Tarot

This week’s artist is Betye Saar. Saar is an assemblage artist and print maker.  As she says:  I’m a person who walks looking down, because you can find lots of great things on the ground.  I’m basically a recycler… I find other people’s stuff and junk and recycle it into my stuff and junk.’  But how she puts them together creates deeper more complex meaning, a story.  Saar believes that that an object carries its past.  Not only it’s physical past of where it has been and who held it, but also it mystical past why did someone make, buy, and then discard the object.

Saar by assembling these disparate items, they become reborn with a new voice.  Her visual storytelling ranges from political like The Liberation of Aunt Jemima (1972) or delves into mysticism like Legends in Blue (2020).  It her unique ability to combine items from society that can disparage and reimagining them to tell stories of freedom and spirit that makes her a remarkable artist.

We all create our own assemblages in our homes, souvenirs, knickknacks, photos, etc… Your pondering for the week:  Look around your space and what things have you put together?  What personal altars have you consciously or subconsciously created?  What do these altars represent?

Solar System highlights:  The Moon starts this week in Leo –time to shine into the world.  Then moves into Virgo on the 20th  – organize and clean.  Onto Libra for the weekend- perfect timing for bonding with partners and friends.  No major planetary changes from last week. Except Mercury is retrograde in Aquarius – not a great time for action but a great time for your mind: Review, Reflect, and Reassess.  Venus is in Capricorn – where beauty and harmony are achieved through practicality.  Mars is in Sagittarius a lovely time to expand and explore not only your environment but your mind.  Jupiter is in Pisces; this aspect is dreamy and holds opportunity and luck.  And Saturn is still in Aquarius – so innovating and upping your game is its focus for another year.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Capricorn this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Cancer it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.

 

May light be on you, around you, and within you,

*Chariot – The Muse of Self Propulsion is handing you the keys to your future this week.  However, the challenge is you need a direction/focus to apply this energy towards.  If you do not, you will drive in circles.  If you do then everything is within your reach.  So ready, steady, go.

 

Taurus
Betye Saar

*World – The Muse of Endings and Beginnings is here to help you tie up loose ends and clean your plate, so you may start anew.   Take this week to tidy your desk, inbox, entry ways, etc.… Literally or metaphorically you need to clean your portals so “the new” can walk in unimpeded.

 

Gemini

*Strength – To get through the next couple of months with more ease you need to strengthen your core.  This can be as simple as starting an exercise regime to work on your abdominals.  Or it can be as complicated as re-working your life’s mission statement and/or goals.  These exercises in inner strength will lead you to more ease not only this week but also well into your birth month.

King of Coins – The Muse of Fiscal Abundance has come to help you set goals for your finances.  They ask what do you need to make yourself feel financial safe?  It could be getting your taxes ready early, paying off your debt, having a larger savings goal, or buying a house.  Take this week to review, reflect and reassess your finances.

 

Leo
Betye Saar
Vanity Betye Saar

Six of Cups – This is your second six so a quick dive into six.  Sixes in tarot represent the give and take that happens in the world. Last week it was about the balance of the cost and profit of success.  This week it is about the balance of the past and future.  The past has valid information for your future, but the lesson is not caring the pain or expecting repeated patterns.  You bring the lesson and tools forward to use, so you do not have to relive past experiences.

 

Virgo
Betye Saar
Betye Saar Imitation of Life

Four of Swords – The Muse of Rest is here again after also coming two weeks ago.  This is a divine week for you to pull back and work with the Mercurian energy of Review, Reflect, and Reassess.  Pull in and ponder to your hearts content.  Healthy food, plenty of rest and a comfy couch or chair are your friends this week.     

 

Libra
Betye Saar
Betye Saar Window of Sirens

Six of Swords – The Muse of Mini-Transitions has come to get you out of a rut.  This week make little changes that will affect your life in big ways.  Releasing the past and finding new paths are key.  This can be done by rearranging your furniture, finding a new places to hang, and/or releasing things that no longer work for you.

 

Scorpio
Betye Saar
Betye Saar, The Long Memory

King of Cups – The past two weeks had you update your prime directive, a past paradigm or thinking process.  And gave you clues either through dreams or synchronicities.  Well, that theme continues this week with the Muse of Emotions.  This energy asks you to make friends with your emotions because each of them that arise this week do so with a message.  And as always with this muse Rumi’s poem Guest House is a reminder of how to do this.

 

Sagittarius
Betye Saar Black Girl’s window

*Fool– Ok so third big energy week.  The past two weeks the muses asked you to use your intuition or spiritual practice to tap into the flow of information masked in synchronicities, riddles, and Fae energy.  Then the Muse of Mixology had you honing the skill of spontaneity with knowledge by experimenting and combing different aspects of your life (ex: shadow/light, rest/action). And now with these skills and information the Muse of New Adventure is pushing you out the door to find new experiences. This can be as simple as finding new routes home or as complex as making a leap into a new job field or lifestyle.

 

Capricorn
Betye Saar Blackbird

Two of Swords – This week with each of your decisions you need to get in touch with how that decision feels with all your senses.  This muse reminds you that it is not the goal but the journey that is important.

 

Aquarius
Betye Saar The Palmist Window

*Hierophant and Page of Swords – The muses this week want you to investigate your structures.  This can look as simple as looking through Zillow for new places to live, finding a new way to organize your life (did someone say bullet journal), or health blogs for new workouts.  Or it can look as complex as doing some research into how you prioritize the structures of your life.  For example, you say family is important but spend most of your time at work?

 

Pisces
Beyte Saar Legends in Blue

*Magician – The Muse of Manifestation is here to help you bring the divine into existence in your life.  Even though Mercury is in retrograde you all can begin manifesting.  The challenge is that with each item, wish, manifestation you conjure it must also have a broader divine aspect to it.  That can be as simple as you want a raise, but you also give more to charity this year.  Or as complex that your new path has a higher purpose then survival.

Tarot and Art Forecast for Weeks of Dec. 19 to Jan 1, 2022

 

picture by Charles Pinion

Happy Solstice.

It’s that time again.  Every Winter Solstice to New Years, I reflect on what has been and plan for what is to be.  Also, I’m data geek.  I keep excel sheets collecting data points from the tarotcast’s cards that each sign gets throughout the year.  So, this tarotcast is dedicated to our rearview mirror of 2021.

I look at the data in two ways, how many times each card was pulled (for anomalies) and what the actual cards were for each sign (trends).  For fun I want to see if the data shows some statistical difference and or trends, and so far, it has.  This means that certain cards get pulled outside the average (which this year is 8 times).  Now, to be truly scientific I would have to do this for many years. I am only on year six, but let’s see how this works with the data I have so far. (You can see a year in review for  2016 , 2017 , 2018  2019 & 2020).  Also, some of you had asked why I include the tarot card’s name.  I do this for my readers that want to learn more about tarot, so for you all that just want the trends, skip over the card names.

First, the look at anomalies or card pulls outside the norm:  This is a look through a societal lens.  This year the most pulled cards were the Justice & Devil in the higher Arcane, all the court cards but especially Queen of Pentacles and Four of Pentacles in the lower Arcane.

  • The Justice card is energy around what is Justice and Truth. The lesson is about us wanting yes/no answers but to gain the truth we must attend to the complexity of why and how for each specific case. This also relies on us seeing the truth of ourselves and our lives.  So, a direct correlation of this is we saw a lot of energy around our judicial system.  Think about all the cases that came up this year:  George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Trump varies cases in court ie: voting, executive privilege and his private cases, the insurrectionists’ cases, the supreme court cases….  Society is being challenged to stand behind it’s concept of Truth and Justice.  Personal it is about living our truth and understanding cause and effect.  As Racheal Pollack says: It is not enough to foresee a likely outcome for us to change or prevent an event.  We must understand why it is coming, and we must work on the causes within ourselves for the things we do and the ways we react.  Free will exist and this energy helps us learn how to do it with integrity through understanding the complexity of truth in each situation.
  • The Devil’s energy checks who we are as people. We have been tested as countries, society, democracy, workers, economics, health, and our sanity, to name a few.   The list feels endless on what we have been tested on personal and as a world community the past two years.  The lesson with the Devil is did we pass our tests.  Are we choosing the higher path?  Are we releasing the ego?
  • Even though Covid and lock downs started this year, people or humanity came to the forefront. We had the highest amount of court cards dealt since I started doing this 6 years ago.  The Court cards in general mean that people were integral, good or bad, in our lives.  People provided lessons on refining our skill sets, our pace, our creativity, how we nurture and how we establish authority or present ego in the world.  We were being asked to define how we “human.”
  • The Queen of Pentacles represents not only our essential needs but also luxury, self-worth, and this energy holds quality of life first and foremost. An example how this played out is with people trying to navigate how to go back to work without sacrificing quality of life.  This energy has us seeing our self-worth in what we do, asking for raises and better working conditions, moving out of urban areas, or finding a new career.
  • The Four of Pentacles, it also was a big energy in 2020. This card governs resources/frugality.  An example is Covid highlighting the systems that distribute our resources locally and globally, equality in distribution, and how we support others.  In some instance we learned from 2020 e. not buying out all the toilet paper. However, new sources of fuckery have arisen, like our supply chain being an issue and triggering inflation.  And people being self-oriented and not societal driven is also a challenge we still are working on.

The lowest pulls for the year are places where we did not have enough support from the Universe.  The lowest card was the Ten of Swords.  This card’s energy is about drama – the universe didn’t give us any help in this area.  This causes things like a divided country, insurrections, people beating up flight attendants, and choosing violence as the only means to an end.   Another unsupported energy was the Hermit.  Usually, this energy helps us stand back and see the big picture.  But we were not supported by the Universe, so it was up to us to stand back and see the cycles to gain perspective.  This is still a challenge that some of us face.

Below in the cast are the trends within each sign in comparison to the norm.   With my favorite art from 2021.

Lastly our Solar System highlights until the end of the Year

On December 24th we have the last Saturn(restrictions/structure) squaring Uranus (freedom), so watch for structures somehow bumping against freedom.  This could be a snowstorm or the new variant raising its head keeping us in our homes.  The Moon starts this week in Cancer – self-care is important- get it while you can.  Moves into Leo on the 21st – time to shine.  Then onto Virgo for the 24thth – great for running a tight ship but it’s the holidays maybe let things go a bit.  Slides into Libra on the 26th -relationships are highlighted.  Scorpio on the 28th – watch you don’t start partying too early- maybe a better time to clean up and tidy your emotional closet. Then a Sagittarius moon guides us with a philosophical approach to the end the 2021.

Mercury is in Capricorn – great for working out difference but must have a practical side to all convos.  Venus is in Capricorn – where beauty and harmony are achieved with practicality.  Mars is in Sagittarius – a lovely time to expand and explore not only your environment but your mind. And play is vital to let off some steam.  And lastly, Jupiter moves into Pisces on the 28th, we saw a hint of what was ahead in the summer, and now we have until May to explore Jupiter (expansion) in Pisces- opportunities and broadening your horizons.

May light be on you, around you, and within you.  Happy Solstice no tarotcast next week so I’ll “see” you all in 2022.

Aries
Toni Frissell
Weeki Wachee spring, Florida. Frissell, Toni, 1947

This year compared to other signs was a very energetically charged year for you all. You were one of the three signs that had the most karmic cards.  Every month you had at least 2 highly charged weeks, until October and things kinda slowed down.  If anything, this was a year of change for you.  In some form or fashion, you were on the move.  Your big themes for 2021 were building, action and learning to manage the pace of your life.  And if you found your rhythm you got a lot done, even though it may have felt scattered.  So, take the end of the year to relax.  And if you didn’t then spend the last couple of weeks of 2021 figuring out what pace (follow your heart, follow inspiration, marathon, or sprint) you want to work at in 2022.

 

Taurus

This year you had the highest karmic cards in comparison to other signs.  2021 started slow but by the beginning of March you were dealing with 2-3 big energies every month.  And they varied from building, growing, nurturing, emotions, metamorphosis, relationships, structures… And even though these energies were all over the place, they also had a general theme of expansion.  Try to spend this last part of the year reflecting on all that you have done and take a break!  Consolidation and focus maybe required for the beginning of 2022.

Gemini
Bisa Butler The Equestrian

Where 2020 you had the highest karmic energy to deal with this year you had the lowest compared to other signs.  You had time to focus on a few themes: growth, a test from the past, your purpose, and structures.  You did have the highest amount of Ace cards and threes.  Aces pertain to new projects, ideas, and inspiration. The threes’ themes are around collaboration, planning the future and friendship.   If you can, ponder what things you did start in 2021 that you would like to continue. Then make a sketch of what it would look like and who you would like to be there to experience it with.

 

Cancer

Maelstrom Monstrous whirlpool (Norse) Rachael Talibrat

This year you were one of the three signs that had the most karmic cards in comparison to the other signs. And April and may have been particularly hard.  You also had to deal with at least two major tests from the past at the beginning and middle of the year.  Then scattered in between those times you were investigating themes around healing, emotions, your purpose, being stuck, deconstruction, balance, metamorphosis, and creation. In many ways you have shed your shell numerous times in 2021.  Take the last part of this year to applaud yourself for making it through this maze of karmic interactions and ending up better than you started.

You had slightly less than average amount of karmic energy cards this year compared to other signs. The year started off slow with some healing you needed to do, which you returned to in the summer.  Though by September and into October karma was taking you on a roller coaster ride. Where your themes of justice, metamorphosis, wrestling with integrity, growing, letting go, stagnation, balance and life purpose were pushed into your field of vison week after week.  And like most of the signs you also had a test from the past to make choices around.  If you can, try to take the next couple of weeks off and tap back into that balance and healing aspect that started off your year.

Virgo
Sabine Pigalle
Sabine Pigalle

You along with the world dealt with the big energy of Justice but you were one of the few that didn’t have to personally deal with the Devil – tests around morality.  You had your tests in 2019 and 2020.  So, this year was a year of learning especially on the physical, emotional, and spiritual planes.  Your first three months of 2021 were busy with checking items off your to-do list and then in March karma started to kick in.  From then on, once a month, you dealt with a karmic theme.  And they varied from luck, purpose, structure, subconscious, bring the divine down, and healing.  Your biggest theme, which you revisited 3 times, is self-propelled change.  So, take the next two weeks to tally all the things you have learned and how your life has changed from where you were in 2019.

Libra
Tamara Natalie Madden

You all were dealt the average amount of karmic energy this year compared to the other signs.  Like most of us, you were karmically tested at least once this year. But you are one of the few that personally did not have to deal with Justice- choices around balance, truth, and consequences.  This is your life card, so you explore this theme all your life and can take off a year 😉.  However, you kept busy with Karmic themes of healing, organic change, self-growth, self-propelled change, moderation, opportunities, relationships, growth and bring the divine down into the world.  Overall, this was a year to explore possibilities and express your power creatively in the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual realms.  The next two weeks think about how you have incorporated the divine feminine (creativity and nurturing) into different parts of your life.

Scorpio
Shaman Hassani

This year you all were dealt the average amount of karmic energy compared to the other signs.  Like most of us, you were karmically tested at least once this year. But you are one of the few that personally did not have to deal with Justice- choices around balance, truth, and consequences.  You did however deal with the Tower, deconstruction of what is not working in your world, four times.  Usually, this deconstruction starts from an outside source that you cannot control.  Hopefully you could navigate these earthquakes without too much unease. If you’re reading this then you have survived.  YES you!  Because that 4 Tower occurrences are no joke.  However, the Universe did not just give you a bag of coal as a present for 2021.  This year you were also dealt more helpful karmic themes of inner strength, recognition, freedom, healing, enlightenment, and opportunities.  Take the next two weeks acknowledging how strong you are and how much you have learned.  Then starting as early as Dec 28th taking advantage of Jupiter (luck) moving into a water sign and celebrate the amazing job you have done surviving 2021.

Sagittarius
Hung Lui
Crane Dance Hung Lui

This year you had one of the two the lowest karmic cards dealt this year to a sign, and the only sign to not personally do the year’s theme of the Devil and Justice (read intro) .  Your karma gave you time to focus on finding your groove, metamorphosis, balance, healing, luck, and building up your “empire”.  You also worked with the divine feminine (creation) on the physical, emotional, and intellectual planes.  You did focus on the numerical six cards all year more than any other sign.  This numerical group works with cause/effect, past/future and karmic balancing. So, take these next two weeks to ponder the scales in all parts of your life.  Where do you want to expand  balance in 2022 to create even more flow in your life?

Capricorn

Fanny Sanin

Happy Birthday Month! You all had an average year in karmic energies compared with the other signs in 2021.  Your themes were freedom, fortune, inner strength, structures, and organic change.  And you were tested at least twice this year on a lesson from the past.  However, the trend that stood out was having the most court cards dealt, specifically knights and pages.  This means that people were flowing in and out of your life all year.  They never stayed for long, but they are the map pins in 2021.  Also, this year learning was emphasized, and this flow of people helped you define “pace” in your life. For the next two weeks contemplate who you surround yourself with.  You have collected a vast variety of characters to enhance your life story.  How have they influenced your life?  And make sure you balance in some “me time” before the end of the year.  Even if it is just a quick walk under the stars.

Aquarius
New star Nasa
New star Nasa

You had an above average amount of karmic cards as compared to other signs. Not the worst hand dealt but you “came in” fourth.  Meaning you were dealing with one or two karmic themes each month.   You like most of us this year had personal tests from the past and dealt with the karmic theme of fairness and balance.  Your personal karmic themes for 2021 were issues around structures, building or deconstructing your profession, purpose, healing, creativity, freedom along with stagnation, relationships, personally finding your shine, and learning to work with organic change.  With all that 2021 has brought to your door, you have survived, healed, and even prospered.  Saturn (restriction and structure) is still playing in your sign until 2023.  So, the place of “freedom” where you flourish will be hinder, but you can take advantage of this time by grounding yourself in your work, your purpose and mooring to the structures that you will need as a foundation for jumping off in 2023.  And remember you all are the Royals of daydreaming and innovation, and the next 20 years are yours.  Take these two weeks to write a list of what you need on the physical plane to support your freedom going forward.

Pisces
Richard Whadcock Passage

You all were dealt the average amount of karmic energies compared with the other signs in 2021.  Though you are one of the few signs that did not deal personally with tests from the past.  The themes you did explore are transformation, structures, freedom, self-propelled, change, and emotions.  And your big theme that you visited three times was organic change.  You started this year explore how to work with the Universe more intuitively and continued that theme the rest of 2021. Jupiter on the 28th is going into your sign which means it joins your sun sign.  So next year has huge potential for growth and expansion for you.  Spend the final two weeks of 2021 writing an expansive and imaginative wish list for 2022.

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of Nov. 7, 2021

Artemisia Gentileschi
Artemisia Gentileschi

The artist this week is Artemisia Gentileschi.  She lived in the 17th century mostly in Italy.  Gentileschi was one of the few woman painters of that time and was well known enough that she made a living with selling her paintings to nobles and royals like Charles I of England.  She is also known for being the daughter of Baroque painter Orazio Gentileschi and being raped and winning her case against her rapist when she was 17.

When men write about her, they note the power of her brushstroke likening it to men of her time, or her boldness of portraying strong women characters, unlike the men of her time.  Feminists write about her through a lens of a survivor and a woman who made her way in the patriarchal system.  When female art historians write about her, they see her in a broader context with a variety of aspects that contributed to what she painted and why.

As a viewer we do look through our personal lens.  Asking questions like did this feminine perspective become her selling point?  Or was it the subjects she chooses?  her “fame” of the rape?  Or did she exemplify Baroque art with its drama, rich and deep color and intense light and dark shadows?

All of these are pertinent questions, but also, maybe we just like her work, amazed at how she can capture candlelight.  As we view and relate to art or our lives, one must remember that a point in time resonates throughout our lifetime, but it does not solely define us or our actions.  We are a sum of all the things that makes us.  And at the same time, we are beautiful, amazing, and valid for just being alive as any other thing in nature.

Solar System highlights:  The Moon starts in Capricorn – focus on getting things done on material plan. Then on Tuesday it moves into Aquarius – use your intellect and thinking outside the box is needed.  The Moon then finishes in Pisces for the weekend – follow your dreams and soul’s desires. Mercury is in Scorpio – the focus is passion and letting go of forms of communication that no longer work for you.  Venus is in Capricorn – where beauty and harmony are achieved with practicality.  Mars is in Scorpio – desire is in the air, as well as, it is a great time to finish up projects.  And lastly, Jupiter and Saturn are in Aquarius – so innovating and upping your game is their focus until end of December.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Scorpio this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Taurus it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.

May light be on you, around you, and within you,

Three of Swords – The Muse of Heartbreak has come to help you heal from a hurt you have been holding on too.  This hurt usually shows up as self-criticism.  These are deep wounds that keep cyclically happen in your life.  So, fill in the thought “I’m not lovable because….”  And heal that wound so you can accept the love that is already in your life or coming around the corner.

 

Taurus
Artemisia Gentileschi

Eight of Swords – The Muse of Self-binding Thoughts has come to trigger beliefs that no longer serve you.  Your challenge is to release yourself from these mind ghosts.  The keys to these emotional handcuffs are the upsets/traumas happened in the past, were put there by others, and you have made them your own.  Release and free yourself.

 

Gemini

*High Priestess – Last week the Muse of Fortune calibrated your karma, good or bad, a debt has now been paid.  Now, the Muse of Higher Purpose has come to realign you with your path.  You are here for a variety of reasons: being a parent, sibling, work, your passion, etc.… If you listen to your inner voice or external synchronicities, this Muse will guide you to resources that help you gain traction on your path.

*Empress – Your third big energy week.  So, you may be feeling a bit tired, stressed, and/or overwhelmed.  Because you had the Muse of Destruction dismantling some aspect of your life that needed fixing. Then the Muse of Stabilization shored you back up.  Now it’s time to create with the Muse of Creation.  Ugh but your tired.  Breath.  This energy would like you to focus on a project that will take you through the New Year.  She asks, what will you birth into 2022?  Grow it slowly, and nurture yourself as you nurture it.

Five of Cups – The Muse of Spilled Milk is here to remind you that every mess you encounter this week is not your responsibility.  Yes, you have things that need cleaning, but this Muse reminds you that some problems are meant for others to deal with.  So, your challenge is to see why you are doing it.  Are you avoiding your own messes?  Do you like the attention even though it is co-dependent?  Or is it if not you then who?  Focus on your mess only this week.

 

Virgo
Artemisia Gentileschi

Two of Swords – The Muse of Decisions is here to help you make more aligned choices. We all are making choices every day, but are they aligned with how we want to feel as we make them?  This muse suggests this week pick a feeling or word that you want to live by and then make choices from that feeling or word.

 

Libra
Artemisia Gentileschi

Ace of Cups – The Muse of Love has come to fill your emotional cup.  She suggests noting all the loving things that happen in this week.  Your pet greeting you, your kid’s hug, someone opening a door for you, or a smile.  But here is how she challenges you.  When someone does a wrong, mentally thank them for the reminder of how you don’t want to be or show them some compassion.  They may be having a shitty day.  You see, kindness fills the cup coming and going.

 

Scorpio
Artemisia Gentileschi

Two of Cups – Next energy up for your new year is the Muse of Relationships.  This year highlights relationships.  The challenge with this energy is by 2023 all your relationships should all be built on equality.  They fill your cup as you fill theirs.  Start this week cleaning out the emotional vampires.

 

Sagittarius
Artemisia Gentileschi

Seven of Coins – The Muse of Work has come to help you further a project on the material plane.  This energy is like those people that give out water during marathons.  Look for moments to re-energize yourself, take small breaks like a walk if you are stuck, drink tea, or tiny 10-minute desk naps; and keep going.

 

Capricorn
Artemisia Gentileschi

Page of Coins – The Muse of Learning has come with books in tow.  This week is great for acquiring a new skill or useful bit of information.  You might have to hit the books, watch documentaries or informational podcasts.  Knowledge is power.

 

Aquarius
Artemisia Gentileschi

Eight of Coins – The Muse of Mastery comes when you need to focus on a project and move it to completion or tweak it to a more valuable form.  Art is taking the everyday and lifting to a place where we can see its beauty.  This week take something to the next level.

 

Pisces
Artemisia Gentileschi

Three of Wands – The Muse of the Productive Waiting has arrived reminding you to use this time and space to prepare for what is about to happen.  For example, if you were going on vacation in 2 weeks, pack now and you might find that you need a new bathing suit.  Something needs to be done while you are waiting for the next thing to happen.

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of Oct. 24, 2021

Dorothea Tanning Self Portrait

The artist this week is Dorothea Tanning.  When you play the game Having a Dinner Party, where you pick 10 people alive or dead that you would have over, I would pick Dorothea Tanning as one of them.  She is a creative.  Tanning is well known for her surreal paintings, but her endeavors include drawing, painting, sculpting, installations, costume design, set design, writing poetry….

She published a book of poetry the year before her death in 2012 at 101 years old.  The span of her work in her words is “her enigmatic versions of life on the inside, looking out.” Tanning draws us into her mind as well as her physicality.  She also often paired her work with poems from other poets, to give even more depth into her painterly ponderings.  As we view her work one feels not only acquainted with her investigations of self but also, we identify ourselves in her.  For me, I would learn more about me by my conversations with her.

Your pondering, as the veil thins this week, who would you invite to your party, dining with the dead? And I have attached a line, bolded, of Tanning’s poem All Hallow’s Eve to each of your casts.  Start with the first 2 lines here and read down.

 

Be perfect, make it otherwise.
Yesterday is torn in shreds.

Solar System highlights:  On Monday the Moon starts in Cancer– get cuddly with a partner or pet and self-care should be on the agenda. Then it moves into Leo on Oct 28th – a time to shine.  The Moon then finishes in Virgo – so you can categorize your candy haul. Mercury is in Libra– great for communication, creating networks and getting in touch with friends.  Venus is in Sagittarius asking are we feeding and nurturing our relationships enough to keep them growing?    Mars is in Libra until Oct. 30th  – the last week investigating relationships around the question are your actions following your words?  Then it moves into Scorpio – passion is in the air and a great time to finish up projects.  And lastly, Jupiter and Saturn are in Aquarius – so innovating and upping your game is their focus until end of December.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Scorpio this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Taurus it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.

Page of Wands – The Muse of Inspiration has come this week.  You will find that she has hidden at least one “Easter egg” of insight in each day.  These small gifts are here to help you motivate or bring your work/life up a notch.    Lightning’s thousand sulfur eyes

 

Taurus

*Hierophant – The Muse of Structures has arrived with rulers and T-squares.  This energy comes around when you need to check the structures that support you in life.  Something is off kilter.  Whether it is your schedule, eating habits, your rules/morals, or your boundaries one of these is not aligned with your way of life.  The challenge with this energy is making sure when you do this re-structuring that it remains flexible enough that you can still grow.  Rip apart the breathing beds.   

 

Gemini
Dorothea Tanning

Five of Cups – The Muse of Clumsiness is here to spill liquids and disrupt emotions.  So, on a practical side, don’t put your fluids by electrical devices.  And on a heart side, be careful how you interpret emotional outburst- yours and others.  This week can also be full of fret.  Your challenge is to clean up your mess and leave others to clean up their own.  Hear bones crack and pulverize.

 

Cancerian

*Tower – The Muse of Destruction has come with a sledgehammer to  dismantle some aspect of your life. You don’t really have any power in this deconstruction; except to lessen the chaos by finding what needs to be fix before this energy does it for you.  This can be as simple as your desk has been a mess for weeks – clean it up.  Or as challenging as leaving a job or relationship that is no longer working for you.  Look around and find out what you have pushed off for ages and know well and good that it needs to be done so do it.  Doom creeps in on rubber treads.

 

Leo
Dorothea Tanning

*High Priestess – The third high energy week for you.  The last two weeks advised you to pause and evaluate, then the Muses suggested remixing to balance your fabrication.  Now the Muse of Higher Purpose ask you to tap into your intuition and ask what’s next? Now this Muse is asking what the purpose is behind your next steps?  Are they leading you to where you want to go, who you want to be?  If not, time to take a hard look at your plan and re-do.  If so, you still have a few insights to round out the picture.  Intuition and asking your spirit guides are keys to unlock the secrets to the next steps.    Countless overwrought housewives,

 

Virgo

*Moon – The Muse of Unconscious is here to help with your fears.  This energy wants you to investigate the darker hidden aspects of what you fear.  This Muse reminds you that interacting with your worries as if they are friends, allows you to see that they are like helicopter Moms.  Trying to keep you from harm, but also keeping you locked up.   So, this week converse with your fears, and coax them to see that they really don’t have to save you.  You are doing just fine.   Minds unraveling like threads,

 

Libra
Dorothea Tanning

Seven of Coins – The energy this week is all about work.  Time to get things done and off your to-do lists.  The challenge is you will not see the benefits from your labors for a couple of  weeks.  Try lipstick shades to tranquilize

 

Scorpio
Dorothea Tanning

Page of Coins – Last week you started off your birth month with the Muse of Deconstruction and The Muse of Potential.  They wanted you to strip away what is not working so you can re-divine a new you and your surroundings.  Now the Page of Coins joins this duo declaring that  one of your roles this coming year is being the student.  This is a year to learning new skills on the material plane.  This can look like going back to school, learning new skills for work, or trying on different hats in the workplace.  Fears of age and general dreads.

 

Sagittarius
Dorothea Tanning

Two of Coins – The Muse of Juggling comes when you need to adjust at how you get things done.  This week is not made for multi-tasking.  This muse advises to take on one thing and do it well before adding a new something to your attention.  Sit tight, be perfect, swat the spies, 

 

Capricorn
Dorothea Tanning

Four of Cups – The Muse of Introspection has come to help you remove the metaphorical lint from your belly button. She advises that you spend ¾ of your time navel gazing, but you must spend the other fourth doing and being in the world.    Don’t take faucets for fountainheads.

 

Aquarius
Dorothea Tanning

Three of Cups – The Muse of Friendship comes when your emotional glass is empty.  She reminds you that friends can uplift your spirts the best.  Find time this week to just hang and talk shit with loved ones.  Drink tasty antidotes. Otherwise

 

Pisces
Dorothea Tanning

Queen of Coins – The Muse of Keep Calm and Carry On is here to remind you to do just that.  She advises that practicality, down-to earthiness, and compassion are the elements to work with this week.  Also, a great week to invest in your future.  You and the werewolf: newlyweds.
