Happy birthday Gemini!
This is the last week in May and the last flower art for now. Sometimes the sweetness of art is left behind for the dramatic contour of color and complexity of technique and meaning. But there is something that needs to be noticed when the capturing of a simple gesture can tell a story. Carolyn Clayton’s small intimate sculptures do just that. They embody a feeling in the simplest tilt of the head or crossing of a limb.
The audacity and tenaciousness of a dandelion to the delicacy and vulnerability of an orchid – flowers change a dismal day to a happy one with their divine beauty. It is simple act to brighten some one’s day by giving them a flower. We should do it more often.
P.S. Remember signs with an * it a big week for you. Gemini this is a great time of year to get your Astrological Tarot Reading to prepare for your next year.
Aries
Eight of Swords – Last week the Chariot told you to take the reins. That the path that you are on is correct and you have the power to complete all that you need to do. This week the Eight of Swords can put a halt to your momentum. But just like the Chariot this stop is also in your hands. The challenge is not to be bound to the outcome of this week or the road to get to your destination. Flexibility is key.
Taurus
Ace of Swords – Decisions and knowledge are on the forefront this week. The Ace of Swords advises a new way of thought is needed to overcome a problem or find a solution. Think outside the box this week.
Gemini
*Tower – Ok Gemini, the Tower is your first birth year card. What a way to shake up the new year. The Tower is one of the three cards of change. This year the first lesson with this card is you need to do some major renovating in your life. If you don’t know what it is or how to make the change happen, the Tower card comes to shake things up and makes it obvious what needs to be deconstructed and reconstructed. Examples are moving out of a space, job or relationship that doesn’t work for you, or doing a major overhaul of your health regime. The theme this year is take control of the change yourself or the Universe will change it for you.
Cancer
Page of Cups – The Page of Cups is the card of love and joy. This week find and do simple things that make you smile. Simple acts of kindness to yourself and others is just the cure for your heart and the world around you. Think like a puppy, kitten or 3-year old.
Leo
Ten of Pentacles – Last week it was all about beginnings. This week is all about wrapping things up on the material plane. The Ten of Pentacles advises that your prioritiey this week is to tie up loss ends at your work. And then when you get home luxuriate in that feeling of accomplishment. This has challenges around work/life balance. Your motto all work and no play makes Jill or Jack an unhappy person.
Virgo
*Star – Last week was hard with the Ten of Swords, but the Star has arrived advising you in a big way to rest and heal this week. The Star is the card of healing after the storm. It doesn’t come often so take advantage and do things that restore your health both mental and physical. Whether that is hermitizing with a book, fishing, taking a spa day, relaxing with friends over diner or anything that lets your nervous system rest. Take this week – relax and restore.
Libra
Queen of Wands – Intuition is the key this week. The Queen of Wands advises you to get in touch with your inner guide for you will need its guidance in the coming week. She advises that nature, the spirit or the arts will help you tap into your insight. Also be aware that with this card’s arrival solutions/avenues are found with non-linear thinking.
Scorpio
*Chariot – Change continues to be the theme this week with the Chariot. This card represents change that you have total control over. This is great for no outside source can ultimately stop you. However, it is also a challenge for you are the only one to make the momentum happen. This can look as simple as moving your office or living room around creating better flow, or as complex as moving yourself out of that job/space/relationship that you hate, or finally taking that step to be your own boss. Also, on the practical side of this card: Check your means of transport this week ie: check your tires, fluids, shoes, bus schedule… they can sometimes be wonky when this card shows up.
Sagittarius
Nine of Swords – The Nine of Swords is the card of worry or overthinking. This week can bring on a variety of things to worry about. However, this card foretells that there will be only a few that you can fix. The first thing to do is discern which ones are fixable or completable and fix them. The rest write down and literally throw them away in the trash. Ultimately this is a lesson in – you don’t have control over everything nor are you responsible for it all either.
Capricorn
*Emperor – The Emperor is the card of doing. The biggest lesson with this card is that you have a good plan and good resources, and now is the time to manifest what you want to happen in your environment. He is the materializer. So, this week is all about the work. Your only challenge is that especially for you Capricorns does the work fulfill you? If not, then realize you are in it for the money and make the money. If it is then you are one happy camper waking up each morning doing what you have always want to do. This week MAKE.
Aquarius
*Strength – The Strength card comes when you need to strengthen a resolve, be more resilient, and/or support your self-worth. For some of you it can be as simple as sticking to your diet/exercise regime or for others it can be as complex as finally telling your side of the story. The paradox and complexity with this card are true strength comes form the combination of being rigorous but also with a soft application. As they say, you attract more flies with honey then vinegar, whether that is with yourself or declaring your boundaries.
Pisces
Page of Wands – Last week, the Fool came advising either you will be given a choice and this choice will ripple through your future, or for others to take a leap of faith where there seems as if there is no choice. This theme of journeying and choice continues this week with the Page of Wands. This card ask you to focus on the question “what turns you on?” This journey that you are on must have components that ignite your passion. You need stimulus like a fish needs water. If you want to be productive you need to visit the waters of inspiration, and this is the week to do it.
May light be on you, around you, and within you,
Nina
*Chariot – The Chariot comes this week to tell you to take the reins and go. The path that you are on is correct and you have the power to complete all that you need to do. The only challenge with this card is that getting anything done is all in your hands. Therefore, your focus and a destination is essential. This mean you need to be simple and clear with yourself and others with what needs to be done this week. Thinking linearly will help. The practical side note is to literally check your tires on your vehicle and wear sensible shoes.
Eight of Cups and Five of Swords – Last week The Emperor (your birth year card) gave you a pat on the back that your project/business is going in a good direction, and is giving you the strength and the due diligence to get a big part of what you want done – done this year. The Eight of Cups and Five of Swords, however, are chiming in this week saying simplify and take your ego out of details, you are creating more chaos then required to complete your task.
Knight of Swords – Last week the Justice card reminded you that as much as you want decisions or ideas to be yes/no – good/bad, there is more to be considered. This week the Knight of Swords is fore-warning you to take heed to that and slow your roll in decision making. Haste is your enemy this week not only with conversations and ideas but also literally where you put your feet.
Ace of Cups – Ace of Cups is the card of new beginning when it comes to the heart and the spirit. Take this week to cleanse yourself and start anew. This can be a literally bath or aromatherapy shower, or a dip into the ocean or any other body of water. Your soul needs a reboot and water will help.
Ten of Swords – The Ten of Swords is a hard card no lie, however there are ways to ease the pain. One watch your mouth, conversations have a way of turn back on you no matter what your intention this week. Two, no self-sabotage. If you must, wear a rubber band on your wrist and snap it if you say anything mean to yourself. Final remember this too shall past. A cycle is ending – no need to carry anger, regret or any other negative emotions with you- let it go.
Four and Eight of Pentacles – Last week the Hierophant came asking you to examine and question your structures – morals, laws, schedules. Are they hindering you? – then break free and create new ones. If they are supporting you, build on them. This week the Four and Eight of Pentacles has you continuing your examinations; however, this week focusing the inquiry on the structures of how you make, spend and save your money. Somewhere fiscally you are not balanced, and this is the week to start fixing that.
Queen of Wands and Ace of Pentacles – The last couple of weeks the cards have advised you to pull back. Now the Queen of Wands and the Ace of Pentacles says this is an auspicious time to create some material change in your life. The combination of these cards is whispering – Now is the time to start creating what your heart and soul desire. 
Knight of Wands – All knights represent movement. This Knight wants you to create or expand on your passions. This is a great week to do creative things or be out in nature. He foretells you are on the right path; however, your one challenge this week is to watch your anger. There is more behind your ire than exasperation or frustration. And the solution is more creative or non-linear than practical and straightforward.
*Fool – The Fool is the card of the traveler and new beginnings. For some, you will be given a choice and this choice will ripple through your future. For others, you will need to take a leap of faith where there seems as there is no choice. For both, the key is to know that the journey is way more important then the destination. The first step to a new future starts this week. Stay true to what calls your spirit and makes you enjoy the journey.
Nine of Wands – The Nine of Wands is the card of preparation and perseverance. Take steps before you start each workday to prepare. You can’t plan for everything that is coming your way this week and that is where perseverance steps in. Put on your Wellies and slog on.
*Emperor – You are in the midst of building something pretty amazing and it is time to fully concentrate on it this week. The Emperor gives you the strength and the due diligence to get a big part of what you want done – done. Also, it is a great time to stand back and do some “city-planning.” This can look as simple as rearranging your priorities for this week to find time to do what you need to do. Or as complex as rearranging some gender roles in your life. Either way this week has all the materializing energy supporting you to make this a very productive time.
*Justice – The Justice card comes when, as much as we want decisions or ideas to be yes/no – good/bad, there is more to be considered. For true decision making you will need to see the background and context of each choice, and the answers maybe wrap in the complexity of paradox. Ultimately your decision(s) should be based in integrity and fairness. This is one week where intellect reigns over emotions.
Ten of Wands – The Ten of Wands is the card of over obligation or burdens. You have the tendency to take on too much this week. Take your to do list and move at least two things to next week. They will be there at the end of the week or their urgency or need will vaporize.
Page of Pentacles – The Page of Pentacles is the card of the student. Your assignment is to learn something new each day. It can be something little like having fun going down the google rabbit hole. There is a message or a skill to what you learn this week that you will need for the coming weeks.
*Hierophant – The Hierophant comes when you are having problems with structure in your life. Here is the key to this card: structure is supposed to be like the best house – making you feel safe, stronger and protected. It is not meant to make you feel frustrated, bound or obligated. So, this week examine your structures – morals, laws, schedules. Are they hindering you? – then break free and create new ones. If they are supporting you, build on them.
Page of Swords – Last week the Hermit and King of Pentacles advised, to get anything done and some perspective, you had to create some solo space and time. The Page of Swords wants you to continue in information gathering that perspectives buys you; however, you will have to be more devious about hiding or gaining physical space.
Two of Wands – Last week the Moon and Page of Cups suggested that you get in touch with your inner child by following the plot of Where the Wild Things Are. This week the Two of Wands still wants that inner child to play but the book changes to Harold and the Purple Crayon by expanding your horizons. Your inner child is craving for you to dream a bigger life for yourself.
Five of Cups – The last couple of weeks you have been dealing with some big energy. The High Priestess advised you to stop long enough to hone your intuition and listening to your inner voice. Then Justice had you focusing your mind’s eye to the concepts of integrity, fairness, and seeing other’s points of view. Now, you will need the last two weeks guides to help you through this Five of cups’ week. Five of Cups foretells that this week’s happenings get to you and can color it with melancholy. The challenge with this card is to see the silver lining. Think of this week as your cups/emotions that no longer work for you will be spilled, however, the ones left standing are far more refreshing and enlivening. Your motto this week: Don’t cry over spilt milk or wine, lol.
