Tarotcast for the Week of March 25, 2018

Common Moth

I think I fell in love with moths when I saw the Godzilla movie Mothra versus Godzilla.  Where a giant moth saves Tokyo from Godzilla.  Moths are a group of insects related to butterflies.  But where butterflies are considered beautiful and helpful, moths are generally considered ugly, eat our clothes and are not worthy of our attention.  I would like to change your opinion.

Moth are close relatives to butterflies but evolved millions of years before them.  There are over 160,000 species of moths.  the out number butterflies 10 to 1.    Most moths are nocturnal,  some species are seen at only twilight and dusk and a few hang out in the day.  Therefore all night-blooming plants rely on moths to pollinate them.  Moth can smell each other up to 7 miles away with their antennae.  They come in the same variety of colors as any butterfly,

Despite a few species being notorious for eating natural fabrics and fur, many adults moths do not eat at all or eat nectar.  Actually, several species of moth’s cocoons are used to make one of the yummiest fabrics, silk.  A moth species represents the largest living flying insect, as big as a songbird, which is an amazing aeronautical feet.  Now, do you agree that  these cute fuzzy insects are pretty amazing?

P.S. You can now reach me for quick questions on the Instantgo app.

Aries – Nine of Swords

The Nine of Swords comes around when we need to put our worries aside.  Worries are helpful to make us plan and think things through, but if you find yourself ruminating, you need to balance your worries with more optimistic outcomes.

*Taurus – Sun

The Sun is peeking out this week.  Things are coming into the light.  You are starting to plan for your next birth year. The Sun card challenges you to say yes more than no this week.  No need to say yes to everything, but if your interest is peaked, try to find the time to add the idea, project or person on your list of to-dos.

 

*Gemini – Lovers

Big three weeks for you all.  The last two weeks the Fool and the Hierophant have been demanding that you need a more carefree lifestyle.   The Lovers, which is your sign’s karma card, arrives with the key to making your life have more flow.  The Lovers’ key is to create something more than you.  For example that could be art, a business or children. The challenge is you do better if you have a partner or someone who can cheer you on, so find someone who can help you joyfully stay on task.

 

Cancer – Queen of Swords

The Queen of Swords is a card of strategy and planning.  Take this week to step back and make sure you are still heading on the path you wish to take.  Take this week to re-alter your course if needed and make sure you have what you need for the next leg of your journey.

 

Leo – Queen of Pentacles

Last week, the Moon challenged you to shine light on things that are hidden.  This week is more grounded, less emotional and heady.  The Queen of Pentacles is challenge you to take baths, eat good food, and wear clothes that make you feel good.  After last week you need to pamper yourself.

 

Virgo – Three of Pentacles

This week pay attention to the masters, gurus, or people you look up to.  They have useful knowledge that you will utilize.  The challenge is if you don’t have any mentor figures go out and get some.

 

Libra – King of Wands

The King of Wands is wanting you to up your game.  Your challenge this week  is to figure out how to play and work smarter not harder.

 

 

*Scorpio – Death

The Death card sounds scary, but it is one of the cards of change.  Change needs to happen this week and it happens when you learn to work with your environment.  This card represents change that comes about through your abilities to work with your environment.  I like to think of it as a garden.  Your part is to plant, weed and work with what the environment doles out to grow something to harvest.  Your challenge is have a goal but be flexible with how it comes about.

 

Sagittarius – Queen of Cups

The Queen of Cups is about spreading joy and play.  She challenges you to flirt, make people laugh, and give small gifts of gratitude or affection. This week the motto you catch more flies with honey than vinegar works in your favor.

 

Capricorn – Ten of Pentacles

The Ten of Pentacles wants you to finish up loses ends with work or business.  Because, the challenge this week is after you have done what you needed to do this card wants you to fully relax and enjoy the good life.

 

Aquarius – Ace of Pentacles

New beginnings this week.  You get this week to start a new project or get a fresh start at work and in your environment.  The challenge with this Ace is to focus on one item and get it firmly planted before moving to the next..

 

*Pisces – Fool

The Fool is Mister Clean Slate, Mister Blank Canvas.  His challenge is pick a direction and go, learn something new or take an adventure,  You goal is anything you want it to be as long as it is new and fresh,

 

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

Amanda Parer

Happy Spring Equinox

The art installation Intrude Bunnies by Amanda Parer is traveling all over the word inspiring spaces, thoughts and people. Amanda’s aspiration is “to raise questions about the nature of the world and our role in it.”  I find it so interesting when we play with scale how that enlightens us in such a unique way.  What is the sense in our evolutionary make-up when we feel physically smaller that the two emotions that come up are awe and/or fright?

This month Intrude Bunnies were part of the healing process of Parkland, Florida’s school shooting where they team up with STEM bunnies.  STEM bunnies is a non-for-profit started by Calb, a 13-year-old who takes real rabbits to negatively affected children to provide comfort and play.  Yes to bunnies, art and inspiring teens!

PS.  Below are more of Amanda’s creations. Remember you can now reach me for quick questions on the Instantgo app.

Aries – Four of Cups

Amanda ParerThe Four of Cups wants you to center your emotions without diving too deep.  The challenge is gaining enough space from your emotions to contemplate your high and lows.  If you find yourself uselessly ruminating, then look up, get outside and experience the positive in your life.

Taurus – King of Wands

Amanda Parer

The King of Wands shows up when you need to make life more Zen.  Your challenge week is to create without force but with The Force.  Tune into the flow.

Jan Soon Kim

Jan Soon Kim photographs a collections of items from the immediate area she is in.  Each photograph highlights the hidden treasures that surround us.  I find it interesting the paradox that occurs because of her process. By grouping them she also singles them out in their arrangement.  This shows off their individual grace and diversity and at the same time how they complement their collective environment.  May we all see our individual beauty and place in the world.

Jan Soon Kim is a photographer, art director and certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor.  All of her photographs are amazing not just this series.  Please click to her site to see more.

Aries – Knight of Wands

Jan Soon Kim

 

The Knight of Wands means you are on the right track.  Do not change a thing this week.  Get into your flow and go.

Taurus – Three of Swords

Jan Soon KimThe last two weeks have been big weeks for you all.   The Chariot arrived the second time this year, challenging you to deal with balance issues while making a change in your life, and then the Hanged Man had you take time to sit in the sacred and reflect.  With all that big work you have done, the Three of Swords is asking you to deal with the three issues that have surfaced the first part of this year.  One of the swords I can guaranteed is around communication.  Remember communication is a two-way street. Part of your pain is not expressing your part of that pain.

Tarotcast for Week of March 4, 2018

John Bauer: Prinsessan och trollen.

John Bauer is an artist known for his illustrations for Among Gnomes and Trolls first published 1907.  He had a unique process when painting.  He would start with a small sketch about the size of a stamp with the basic shapes of the image.  Then he would slightly scale it up adding more detail. He would do this many times until he reached the size of a square piece of paper between 20-25 centimeters (8-9 inches).

Gnomes and trolls are associated with the earth but come from different origins.  Troll mythology comes from ancient Norse and Scandinavian oral history.  They said to be beings that are human-like, usually associated with nature or areas of landscape, and are not typically helpful to humans.  Gnomes, on the other hand, didn’t show up until the 16th century in writings by Paraceisus who classified them as earth elements.  He describes them as two spans high, living underground and not liking human interaction.

Paracelsus was a physician, alchemist and astrologer.  He is considered the “father of toxicology” and promoted chemistry as one of the corner stones in medicine.  Interestingly, he had a lot in common with gnomes and trolls.  He worked with minerals, was small in stature, and did not suffer fools gladly.

PS.  Don’t forget your Astrological Tarot Reading for this year.

Aries – King of Cups

The love continues this week with the King of Cups.  This King reminds you that your emotions are one of  big principles of human life.  Your challenge this week is to be in your emotions.  The more you deal with your emotions now, the less you will see them as a burdens in the future.

*Taurus – Hanged Man

Last week, the Chariot arrived the second time this year, challenging you to  deal with balance issues while making a change in your life.  This week is still big work, but where last week was about movement, this week is about stillness.  The Hanged Man is time to sit in the sacred and reflect.  This can be as simple as sitting on your porch and just reflecting on day, or as complex as mediating on big questions like Who am I, What is my purpose, and/or Why am I here?
