This week’s artist is Jason DeMarte is a digital artist that combines images of fabricated nature with commercially processed products. This juxtapose of natural and unnatural elements having the viewer questions what is real. Real being defined as (of substance or thing) not imitation or artificial; genuine. We are surrounded by both natural and commercially produced landscapes. This is the modern terrain that not only that humans need to navigate but in modern times other living beings. As half the world heads into the season of consumerism, let’s make sure that when we give and in our gratitudes we highlight and try not to be lead away from those things that are real.
P.S. Remember signs with an * it a big week for you. Sagittarius this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Gemini it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in now is the time.
Aries
*Chariot – The Chariot brings you back into that high energy saddle this week. The energy helps you with the processes of change. The benefit of this force is that change is your hands solely. This can also be the challenge. The more balanced you are with your goals the easier the change can happen.
Taurus
King of Coins – This week’s energy is about building upon your empire. Whether that is physical making things happen in your home. Getting that honey-to-do list down or if it is about building your business prospects. This is a great week to get things done. The only challenge with this energy is not to start new something brand new. This is energy is best used with things already in process.
Gemini
Page of Wands – This card’s energy pertains to you re-igniting your passion. This is best done by doing things that bring awe into your life. Whether that is doing art or being in nature or just going out to museums, music venues, or national parks, the goal is to re-inspire you.
Cancer
*World – The World is here for another week of opportunities. The beauty of this card is that it is opportunities in all areas, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes. The challenge with this energy is taking a world view when trying them out. Ask questions like: Does this get me to where I want to be in five years? Does this feel right? Is this interesting to me? Does it connect to my purpose?
Leo
Ten of Swords – Last week, Devil card showed up testing you on what you stand for. Well the Ten of Swords continues that theme but the push back from others may feel more intense. The best way to deal with this card is be very attuned to your intuition about situations. If the back of your neck prickles up, turn around and walk away. And if you must go into a situation put up your shields. The challenge is not to let your ego rule your behavior.
Virgo
Queen of Wands – The Queen of Wands embodies all the muses. This energy is best used to promote your inner artist. Whether that is the arts in all its forms, the art of parenting, or the art of creating the best chocolate chip cookie. This week use this energy to create for the joy of creation. The only challenge is balancing focus and flexibility.
Libra
*Empress – Where last week the Death card energy was about letting something die off, this week the Empress comes in with strong growth energy. Wow this is a magnificent combination. I hope last week you did some weeding of things not working in your life, so you created room for the Empress’s energy. Because the Empress is the highest energy card of growth. The seeds you plant now the universe will help you grow to fruition in 9 to 10 months.
Scorpio
The Knight of Cups – The energy this week is about vulnerability. The Knight of Cups is the champion of the heart. This is a time to wear your heart on your sleeve. Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path. – Brenne Brown Daring Greatly.
Sagittarius
Ten of Coins – Great week to start off your birth month. The Ten of Coins is the card of physical completions with the balance of enjoying life with all your senses. So, get things done this week on the physical plane, but then after the work sit back and enjoy. (Lol for those that celebrate Thanksgiving this is easy, work Monday through Wednesday and eat and be merry Thursday through Sunday. For those that don’t celebrate it try to do the same with equaling work and play.)
Capricorn
Ace of Swords – Decision making time. This card energy promotes making decisions, increasing your knowledge and just all-around thinking. This is a great week to plan, schedule, sign documents, philosophizes with friends.
Aquarius
Knight of Swords – The energy this week is high, but you need not get caught up in the rush. This will be a challenge for you, but you need to slow your roll. Before walking out of the door, into a situation, and/or crossing the street. Take a breath, know where you are going, and look both ways before moving forward. It is easy for you to take on others’ rushing energy this week, but I advise you your cooler calmer head is needed. I always add with this card be conscious of your appendages – mindlessness can make you sprain an ankle or cut yourself.
Pisces
Four of Coins – The Four of Coin’s energy has you grasping for time, space, and/or money. When this card arrives, it is telling you that you are feeling ungrounded. But you do not need to grasp so tightly to the physical realm. This week is best worked by finding the one thing you can control the best as your grounding point and let the rest go.
May light be on you, around you, and within you,
Nina
Eight of Coins – The last three weeks you have been running with some high universe energy. The Wheel of Fortune having you trying to change your fortune. The Hermit advising pulling away from civilization and using this solitude creating, experimenting, and philosophizing. Then the Empress advising you to put that energy into a new concept/idea that will come to term in about 9 to 10 months. Luckily, you have the Eight of Coins this week to continue this process of materializing aspects of this project. The big hint is you already have all the skills that are needed. This week is just about honing those skills.
Ace of Swords – This week’s energy is about making decisions and changing mindsets to a clearer and possible new direction path. This is a great week to plan, learn, think, and communicate. The key is finding new ways of thought and communication to help clear your path.
King of Cups – The last two weeks have had you running some high energy. With the World card presenting a variety of opportunities and new beginnings. Then the Sun card focusing appropriate energies on these new areas that you have chosen. This week slows down with the King of Cups. This King asks you to work with your emotions. Practicing not only how to emote your emotions without harming others, but also accepting any emotions that come up. Vulnerability is the key to courage this week.
*Devil – Where last week was innocence this week takes on darker elements. The Devil card shows up testing you on what you stand for. Think of the trials this week as your final exams. You have learned you lessons now can you practice them? This can look as simple as you preach or complain about people being late and you end up three hours late to work. Or as complex as you lying to someone dear to you, so they don’t get hurt. This week practice what you preach. Stand in your morals do not let the outside world influence what you know to be best.
Six of Coins – The Six of Coin foretells this week is all about mini occurrences of karma. The more positive you put out in the world the more positive you get back. Of course, this works for negative energies too. The challenge is this karma takes convoluted routes and has its own timing.
*Death – The Death card shows up when something in your life needs to die off so something else can grow in its place. The great thing is the universe will be helping you make this transition. The challenge is you will have to put some energy in weeding the old and seeding the new, but the universe will help with the growth.
*High Priestess – Ok you get another karmic card to work with the coming year. Last week, the Hierophant declared that 2020 is the year to create or shore up your structures and institutions. The challenge will be dealing with self-judgment and possible judgement of others. Next year it will be vital for you to be flexible, compassionate and empathetic, so that the structures you create don’t bind but bend. Now, you can add the feminine version of the Hierophant- the High Priestess. This card suggests that working with the big picture, questions of purpose, knowledge, and spirit will also be important in 2020. This will help with your challenges from the Hierophant card. The challenge with the Priestess is finding time and space to ponder these big questions. Retreats will be as necessary as creating your civilization in the coming year.
Knight of Swords – Last week, The Fool suggested letting loose and be a more carefree. Challenging you to find new places to visit, encounter new people, roam byways less traveled. I.e. Answering the call of the wild, the mystery of the unknown… This week continues this theme of discovery BUT the Knight of Swords warns you to slow your roll and be more careful while exploring. Your warning is not to be the fool running in where angels fear to tread. Side note: always with this card I caution to be careful with your appendages.
Six of Swords –The important energy this week is simplification. Working smarter – not harder is the theme. Also, when this card shows up its always a good time to take small trips or find time to hang out around or in water to clear your mind.
Ten of Coins – Your second ten card in a row, so let’s dive into the meaning of tens. Tens are about the completion of cycles but also being in that completion. Last week, the Ten of Cups ask you to literally count your blessings, noticing and feeling your blisses that you have created. Now the Ten of Coins has you completing physical tasks. This can be cleaning out your inbox or getting ten things crossed of your to-do list. The challenge is that you will need to work but you will need equal time to relax. Motto: All work and no play – makes Jill/Jack a dull person.
Five of Swords – The Five of Swords warns this can be a week of tension especially around conversations and thoughts. This is not a good week to get into heavy discussions for they can easily turn into battles. The best way to work with this energy is to turn up your empathy knobs. Standing in others shoes this week can lower the conflict thresholds.
Page of Cups – This week is all about getting in touch with your inner child. Pull out your crayons, get out your bubble bath, play in the rain or snow. The task is about rekindling your heart. Life is about joy. This week you’re being challenged to go find it. Second star to the right and straight on til morning – JM Barre – Peter Pan
*Hierophant – Ok so this is your big karma card for the coming year. The Hierophant declares that 2020 is the year to create or shore up your structures and institutions. This can look like going back to school or getting more certifications, creating a balanced schedule of work, play and self-care, creating or building upon traditions, getting to know your personal morals, and spirit. The challenge with this year is dealing with self-judgment and possible judgement of others. The hard work is around being flexible, compassionate and empathetic, so that the structures you create don’t bind but bend. Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind – Bruce Lee
*Fool – The Fool suggest this week to let loose and be a more carefree. When this card shows up it challenges you to find new places to visit, encounter new people, roam byways less traveled. Rediscover your freedom by driving down open roads, meandering paths, moving just for the joy of moving. Your horsey side needs to run. Answer the call of the wild, the mystery of the unknown…
Knight and Three of Coins – The Knight comes to tell you that you are on the right path and challenges you to slow your pace. Slow and steady wins this week. Then the Three of Coins adds that cooperation and collaboration also ease the journey. The challenge is picking your companions wisely – only the ones that build you and your projects up. No time for naysayers this week.
Ten of Cups – This card is about noticing and bring bliss back into your life. Take this week to literally count your blessings. Put them all on a sheet of paper and hang it on your mirror to see each day. Acknowledge all the abundance that you have and have created. Life is good. If you aren’t feeling the Love, then it is time to reassess. You are idealizing or being unrealistic of your expectations.
