Art in Space. The Hubble Telescope just had its 30th birthday in space. Above the latest picture is a giant red nebula (NGC 2014) and its smaller blue neighbor (NGC 2020) part of the Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located 163,000 light-years away. The blue we see is oxygen emitting from stars. The red is the presence of nitrogen and hydrogen. And the wave/cloud is actually the “wind” made by those stars’ energy pulsating out. How magnificent is this!
On April 24th, 1990 Hubble was launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida attached to the Discovery space shuttle. It has been serviced and upgraded by 5 more missions from 1993 to 2009. To date Hubble has taken over 1.4 million observations. Data from this telescope has helped astronomers measure the expansion and acceleration rate of the universe, study black holes, take in depth looks at planets and their atmospheres, just to name a few of the advances in astronomy.
Below are more incredible photos from the Hubble Telescope take this year and last.

Aries
Six of Cups – Last week the World card heralded the concepts surrounding completion and triumph versus incompletion and disappointment as your coming year’s driving force. This week’s energy has you starting that search in the past. Look for useful models about completion in personal and/or world history to help process and expand your knowledge on how to maintain resilience no matter the outcome.
Taurus
*Universe – Another great energy for your birth month! Last week’s energy had you ponder: How does information from your past effect the planning of your future? And does this process to get to the future holding you back? Can you plan without knowing the outcome? Now the Universe card has you looking towards a more distant future. This energy asks you: If everything were possible and you had infinite energy how and what would you grow? This is a call from the Universe to evolve but it can only help you if you give it some ideas. So, think big!
Gemini
*Wheel – This is the last month before your new birth year and the universe is giving you a chance to change your fortune for the coming year. It is pushing you to take a chance on yourself. Yes karma, fate and luck are all part of the cosmic design, but you can and do have some control of where the ball lands on the cosmic roulette table. Your part is to show up and make the bet to change your destiny. Yep you got to play, so what you going to do?
Cancer
*Strength – So if anything, this time has taught you that you have control issues to work on, and that you need a lot of self-compassion to tame these inner demons. The amazing bit about this energy work you been doing is that your inner strength is getting stronger. This week’s energy will help you in taming your insecurities and self-doubt and make you more resilient to boot.
Leo
Page of Swords – The energy around you this week is not helping your restlessness, but you can let your curiosity tame your gitchiness. As you let your curiosity roam more ideas start popping up. This exercise will not only divert you but also take you on a better path than the one you are on now.
Virgo
Three of Swords – Forgiveness is key to this week’s energy of suffering and sorrow. Stop licking your wounds and let them heal. Now is the time to move on and take a more optimistic look into your future.
Libra
*Death – The energy this week is about transitions. There are places in your life that need to end so others can begin. Utilize this energy like weeding a garden. You need more space for what you want to harvest, so something needs to give. Let what doesn’t work go.
Scorpio
*Fool – Last week’s energy had you pondering the concepts of nurturing versus smothering, codependence versus interdependence, and growth versus obstructions. If you did this, you are now giving yourself and others the space, time and energy to grow with just enough structure to feel rooted and secure. Which readies you for this week’s energy of new beginnings and spontaneity. Now you have the space to take advantage of the free spirit energy that prevails this week. If you did not do this pondering, you may fall on a foolish path. So think before you leap.
Sagittarius
Eight of Cups – This week is about creating some space and simplification. You need the space to spread out your mind and body, but your environment is cluttered. So, clean out the closet, your inbox, and/or your desk, so you can walk away from the old and into the spacious horizon of the new.
Capricorn
Ace of Wands –This week’s energy is full of opportunity and potential, but you must stoke your fires of inspiration. Create a vision board, daydream, dig into social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram to rouse your muses, write lists of your wishes, peer into fire and conjure visions. Now is the time for new beginnings.
Aquarius
Two of Coins – Balance is key this week. The more flexible you are the better you can attend to your priorities. This sounds like a paradox, but it is key to not overcommitting yourself and giving away time to do not actually have.
Pisces
Page of Coins – This is a week of possibilities that lead to achievements and victories. You will need to be diligent to make it manifest but anything you put effort to will move towards success. This energy comes to validate that your dreams are flourishing, and you are moving towards goals you have wished and worked into being a while back.
Two of Coins – Last week, change was in the air if you didn’t try forcing it. The energy wanted you to work with the ebbs and flows of natural cycles. Sharing the job of creating movement with the universe continues this week. If you share the burden, you will feel less like you are spinning plates and/or overwhelmed. The part is to work on your balancing act and be flexible.
*Death – Change is in the air this week if you would just let go of trying to force it to happen. This energy wants you to work with the ebbs and flows of natural cycles. Though this downturn in energy feels like stagnation, it is actually waiting for you to sort out what you fear will change. Take your hand off the wheel and let the universe drive. 
*Judgement – Again big energy and I know you might be feeling wiped out. All of March was a roller coaster of forces guiding you through your triggers, compassion for the universe and yourself, challenged you to weed to find room for the new, and then asked you to connect deeply with your spirit to gain more information on how to lead by example. And now this week’s energy is about rebirth. Your challenge is to answer what has this past month taught you? What has awakened you to be closer to your calling and the understand of it? 
*Hanged Man – You are resisting using this time as a moment to gain perspective. You are percieving this energy delaying you, but it challenges you by asking delaying you from what? This is big energy and has the potential for you to stockpile this inert energy like a pulling back a rubber band. This time is just a pause a place to reset or to reimagine your destiny. Take this time to gather your strength and gain perspective on where to you want to go after this pause. 
Nine of Swords – Last week you were feeling the chaos like energy of the worldwide change. And you had to wrestle with the idea of not having control over these big outside forces of change. The forces advised controlling only your small sphere and then allowing the rest to wash over you like a wave. This week you are still grappling with letting go. Worries still needle you like tiny gnats. The energy this week advise you to focus on hope instead of hopelessness. 
Six of Coins – Last week you needed to heed and hone your inner voice. Looking for the hidden truths, the synchronicities and cycles. Your discoveries have you feeling as if you do not have enough resources to deal with this week’s energy. However, if you put selfcare first, you don’t have to be stingy with the rest of your energy. So, heed the phrase put the air-mask on yourself first before helping others with theirs. But keep in mind they do need help and you can expend yours. 
Ace of Coins – The energy of grounded beginnings is rumbling under you. This is a great week to start a new project. Do not loss this opportunity even though you may be staying at home. All seeds are started in the dark. This is a time to water some ideas and see what sprouts in the coming weeks. 
Messenger – There are messages all around you this week. Your spirit guides are in your midst, protecting and divining to you what is and isn’t important. You will get some straightforward clues but also look for hidden meanings in synchronicities. 
Nine of Coins – This week energy is about abundance and finding ways to reward yourself and others. However, luxuries have a new meaning at this time. What were you taking for grant that now this week has become a luxury? And how can you share and enjoy them with yourself and others? 
Four of Cups – The energy this week continues your need for mediation. Where last week you needed to pull away from the everyday to gain perspective, this week you will need to occasionally look to your outer sphere to gain a fuller picture. Try to divide your time in to ¾ introvertive behavior and the last 1/4 as an extrovert. 
Three of Coins – Relationships and creation are again the resonating energy this week. However where last week your investigation where in the notions of contentment and choice respectively. Putting energy into relationships that bring serenity and envisaging the implementation of creating is based in choice. This week there is less contemplation and more active collaboration. Even if you are stuck inside take time to zoom, skype or face time with others. You need people as bouncing boards and to challenge you to get to the next level, not to mention some playful banter to liven your spirits. 
Page of Cups – This week’s energy is about looking for the brighter side of things. Your sign is the one that inspires humanity and raise us up to the next level. So, use your curiosity and rose-colored glass envisioning you and us a brighter future. 
Page of Wands – Pull out your paintbrushes, crayons, pencils, scissors, glue, wood tools and create. The challenge with this creative energy is not about having a goal but about investigating your mediums. This energy is best used in discovery and exploration. Doing so will bring you closer to a place where movement can happen.
