Happy birthday Sagittarians!

The artist this week is Irene Febry @irenefebry.  Her collage work reminds the viewer of coral reefs.  Small bits of life clinging to one another and creating a larger ecosphere in which a variety of organisms can live and thrive and do so only because of this collaboration.

As Febry says her work does come from nature: “My inspiration comes from nature and the things around me, such as sand, stone, fungus, bacteria, insects, microorganisms, a pattern on the wall, etc. My collage always begins with a small size of paper scrap as it grows in size and detail. A growth which results in a kind of microcosm of colour and shapes on its own. They interact with one another as if forming a relationship or a new dynamic.”​ As a viewer this dynamic is what resonates with us. We see how our lives interconnect with others.  That these relationships create families, friends, neighborhoods, businesses, countries and ultimately the World.  The past 2 years has again proven we can no longer be just an individual organism.  We are all part of this Ecosphere called Earth.

 

Solar System highlights:  The Moon starts this week in Virgo – finish tidying up.  Then moves into Libra on the 29^th – to a focus on relationships.  Then onto Scorpio for the 1^st– lighting up our passions.  And ends the week, on the 3^rd, moving into Sagittarius -when personal freedom is key. Mercury is in Sagittarius until December 12^th – great for deep philosophical conversations with folks but watch for right vs. might attitudes.  Venus is in Capricorn until the end of the year – where beauty and harmony are achieved with practicality.  Mars is in Scorpio – desire is in the air, and it is a great time to work on long term projects that you care about.  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. 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.

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

Nina

 

 

Aries

King of Wands – The Muse of Inspiration’s energy surrounds you this week.  Using innovation and thinking outside of the box is the way to success and ease.    Your challenge is to make sure you don’t have unrealistic expectations around the implementation of these new avenues.  Mistakes give more information then successes.

 

Taurus

Ten of Wands – The Muse of Obligations is here to help you navigate this week’s to-do list.  You can get things done this week, but you are also easily overwhelmed.  She has you prioritize your list either from old to new or least time to most time.  Then tackle one task at a time, and if needed breaking those into even smaller steps.

 

Gemini

Four of Wands – This week and last week you got fours so a bit of a dive into this number.  These Muses come when you need or want to create some stability in your life.  Last week it was about stabilizing your physical and mental health by laying low.  This week to stabilize put your energy into your making your home cozy.  Whether that is setting up for the holidays or tidying up from the last one.  Take time to care for your home and it will care for you.

Virgo

Ten of Cups – Where last week had its downs, this week has it ups.  The Muse of Happiness comes with rainbows, ice cream and dance.  This energy bears small gifts of joy throughout your week.  Look for flowers growing out of cement, bird songs, crickets, hugs, smiles, etc.  Feed the aspects of your life that give you joy and both you and they will prosper.

 

Libra

Seven of Wands – Last week the Muse of Experimentation suggested finding ways to bring magic and the unexpected to your life.  This week the Muse of Focus adds to the energy mix by asking what are you using your energies on? Hopefully things are smooth sailing and if so, just keep putting coal in your engine.   But if you are stagnating maybe, it is time you reevaluate what you are aiming at or how you are allotting your energy.

 

Scorpio

Ace of Coins – The Muse of Material Beginnings is here.  Growth is in the air and soil.  This is a great week to start a venture, put out new inquires on expanding your career, or working on long-term projects.

 

Sagittarius

Six of Pentacles – Your second energy to work with this year is the Muse of Small Kindnesses.   This year it is important that you see that many of your actions lead to reactions.  This year is a study in this cosmic energy exchange.  When this Muse shows up, she challenges you to consciously walk on this Earth and see that the little decisions at times resonate more than the larger ones.

 

Capricorn

Queen of Swords – The Muse of Detail has come with her magnifying glass to help you sort through the finer elements of your life.  You can easily see the big picture but the steps to get there might be elusive or overwhelming.  Make you tasks bite size so you can get checks things off your lists.  If you have any legal matters, contracts, or agreements read and discuss the fine print.

 

Aquarius

*Sun – The Muse of Positivity is shining on you this week. This energy shows up to have you bask in literal sunlight (ie get outside) and to also see that you have a pretty good life.  Not that this energy doesn’t also cast shadows, but the ones that show this week are amendable.  And their contrast to the good things in your life make them feel less “shady”.

 

Pisces

Two of Coins – The Muse of Balance has you juggling work and play.  If you are not doing both well, stop one to re-balance the other then start again.  No matter where your weekend lies in the next seven days find the time to relax as hard as you work or vice versa.

Needed a mental health week so no artist this week.  Your forecast is below and here are some pictures of my cats, mom’s dog, and scenery around me.  Pics by my partner @durocair and me.

Solar System highlights:  The Moon starts this week in Cancer – self-care.  Then moves into Leo on the 24^th – do things that make you happy.  Then onto Virgo on the 26^th – leftovers and tiding up.  Mercury is in Scorpio until the 24th – it focuses us on our passion and letting go of forms of communication that no longer work for us.  Then moves into Sagittarius – great for deep philosophical conversations with folks, but watch talking politics at the table or right vs. might attitudes.  Venus is in Capricorn – where beauty and harmony are achieved with practicality.  Mars is in Scorpio – desire is in the air, and it is a great time to work on long term projects.  And lastly, Jupiter and Saturn are in Aquarius – so innovating and upping your game is their focus until end of December.

Aries

*Justice – The Muse of Fairness has come to your dinner table.  She comes when injustices are in the air.  The challenge with this energy is how to be a champion for the cause.   This Muse helps us navigate the complexity of right and wrong.   Most people are reactive to injustice instead of proactive of the reasons behind the unfairness.  Make sure when you defend, you defend from a place of compassion and fix the why behind the problems.

 

Taurus

Ace of Coins – Last week the Muse of Vitality came highlighting your successes, bringing good luck, and giving you strength to spread positivity.  The Muse of Material Beginnings rides on that wave of achievement giving you ease in all projects that you start.  The only challenge is focusing on one at a time.

Gemini

Four of Swords – The past couple of weeks were deep.  The Muse of Higher Purpose helped realign you with your path.  And the Muse of Creation came to help seed any new endeavors you want to grow in the coming new year.  This week the Muse of Relaxation and Restoration is here.  Your challenge is to find the quiet still moments.  Great week for a book, fire, and intimate chats.

*Moon – The Muse of Sentimentality has come to go through your emotional closet.  It is defined as of or prompted by feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia.  Whether you are in the states where we are starting the holiday season or in other parts of the World this week will stir your heart strings.  The key to navigating the Nether Regions of Emotion is to be gentle with all that show up at your emotional table, especially nostalgia.  New research has come out that nostalgia gives us a sense of belong as much as a hug.

 

Virgo

Three of Swords – The Muse of Healing Wounds has arrived to pull splinters out of fingers and hearts.  This week’s events can trigger old wounds.  These hurts are meant to be pulled out, examined, and healed.  This is not a week to stuff down or mask your pain but also do not expect everyone to be able to help or relate to your healing process.

 

Libra

*Magician – The Muse of Experimentation is here this week.  This is a great time to try on new traditions. Like adding new meals to the menu.  Switch who sits at the head of the table.  Eat by candlelight only.  Read a story instead of watching a movie.   Find ways to bring magic and the unexpected to the celebration.

 

Scorpio

Queen of Coins – The Muse of Luxury has come to remind you that you work hard and deserve something special.  You have her blessing to buy or do something frivolous this week.

 

Sagittarius

Queen of Swords – The Muse of Details is your first birth year card, and she is here to up your game.  This year the little things count more than sweeping gestures.  Whether that is buying a flower for your loved one, holding hands, putting a sweet note in your child’s lunchbox, making the bed, opening a door for another, etc.…All the little flourishes you do will be appreciated and bring you more joy this birth year.

 

Capricorn

Six of Wands – The Muse of Success comes with garlands in her hands.  This muse wants you to note everything you have accomplished this year.  She reminds you there is still a war to win, but you have gotten to a place where you can see the finish line.  Take this week to celebrate how far you have come in the 11ish months since your last birthday.

 

Aquarius

Two of Wands – The Muse of Imagining is here to help you plan for the future.  Take this week to play with ideas and scenarios of where you would like to go, who you would like to be and what you would like to do in 2022.  Also messages may come from far away to help you day-dream.

 

Pisces

Ten of Coins – The Muse of Long-Term Success is here to put a pin in at this point of your timeline.    Take this week to see how your hard work is paying off.  You are on the right path to physical stability.  Whether that is a good home, building a family, a job, adding education to what you already know.  Take this week to express gratitude and celebrate fulfilling some of your material-plane dreams.   Also, a great time to finish off an old project.

The Fall night sky calls us to look up as eclipse season begins. On Friday November 19th we start with a Lunar eclipse in Taurus starting the Taurus/Scorpio eclipses that will last until 2023, and on December 4^th a solar eclipse in Sagittarius ends the Gemini and Sagittarius eclipse pairings.  What does this mean?    By definition it means, an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination. One can look at their natal chart and see if your planets or nodes are energized by being in these signs.  But for all of us its a dance of constancy and passion.  These eclipses illuminate aspects in our lives, so we may work on making our dreams come true.

This week art highlights Nasa’s library, of visual and audio files of plants, moons, nebulas, and universes.  @nasa The library spans 101 years of space exploration.  These visuals show us how amazing and vast the Space we live in is.

Solar System highlights:  The Moon starts this week Aries – great for tapping into energy to start projects.  Then moves into Taurus on the 16^th– great time to grow anything you focus on. We have a lunar eclipse in Taurus on Friday the 19^th and moves into Gemini by midnight.  So, through the weekend the focus switches to intellect, learning and conversations.  Mercury is in Scorpio – it focuses us on our passion and letting go of forms of communication that no longer work for us.  Venus is in Capricorn – where beauty and harmony are achieved with practicality.  Mars is in Scorpio – desire is in the air, and it is a great time to work on long term 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,

Aries

Nine of Swords – The Muse of Worry will be knocking on your door this week.  Yes, there is a lot to still worry over, but when is worry useful?  Worry is only positive when what you worry over has a solution.  So, for everything you can’t do anything about, let that go, and fix what you can.

Taurus

*Sun – The Muse of Vitality has come to shine joy and abundance in your life.  This week’s energy not only highlights your successes and brings good luck, but it also gives you the strength to spread positivity to your community.  The challenge with this card is you need to let the Sun in.   So go out for a walk, smile at other people, and share your joy.

Gemini

*Empress – This is the second powerhouse divine feminine to lighten your doorway.  Last week, the Muse of Higher Purpose helped realign you with your path.  So now that you are more allied with your purpose – what needs to be planted?  This week the Muse of Creation is here to help seed any new endeavors you want to grow in the coming new year.  The challenge is if you are still at a loss for what to do.  If so, spend this week writing a list of what would you grow if you had no limitations, for this Muse is handy with creating something out of what seemly is nothing.

Cancerian

Eight of Cups – Finally a week to take a breath.  The Muse of Simplification is here to help you streamline your life.  Remember last week the Muse of Creation had you thinking on what you want to grow in 2022.  Well to do this you will need to par down what you are doing.  Spend this week sifting through items/thoughts/projects into two piles.  What needs to be done to create for 2022 and what you can let go off that stunts that creation.

Leo

Five of Swords – Your second five so let’s look at fives for a sec.  Fives signify chaos.  Last week it was about which chaos are you actually responsible for and this week it’s about chaos of the Ego.  This Muse points out how you, at times, define your sense of self around other people’s ego.  This can look like getting into arguments you know won’t change people’s minds, or taking on another person’s mood, or believing you can harness the chaos.  The challenge is for you to sidestep the drama this week.

Virgo

Four of Coins – The Muse of Fiscal Responsibility has come to help with your financial outlook.  This is a great week to balance your books, save money, pay off some debt, invest wisely, and even spend if you choose quality and long-term gains.  This Muse challenges your ideas of where and what you spend your resources on.

 

Libra

Six of Wands – The Muse of Success is here.  This week’s energy is about highlighting your accomplishments.  Not only does it bring small victories, but it is also a week you can take some time to relax and celebrate.  This Muse reminds you that the war has not been won, but your success so far has given you some time to regroup and have some fun.

Scorpio

Six of Swords – This is your final week of energies that will work with you in the coming year.  Let’s review.  First the Muse of Deconstruction and The Muse of Potential.  The first Muse comes to show you some aspect of your life is not working for you, and you have not been dealing with it or making excuses around it.  The second Muses will help re-divine a new you. Then the Muse of Education declares this coming year one of your roles is the student.  Next, the Muse of Financial Security will help you accumulate resources.  And the Muse of Relationships challenged you to let go of energy vampires and only fill the emotional cups of people who fill yours.  Lastly the Muse of Transitions is rippling back to your first karmic card of Deconstruction, 2022 is a year of change the challenge with these energies if you don’t do the deconstruction and move to the next realm the Universe will step in and make its own changes.

Sagittarius

Six of Coins – The Muse of Karma has come to play with you this week.  So, as you do good in the world, she will make sure you are compensated for it.  The challenge is that this works for the bad you do too.   Motto: what goes around comes around.

 

Capricorn

Seven of Wands – The Muse of Competition is here to help you navigate challenges.  Lately it feels as if you are having to constantly prove yourself.  She asks to whom?  She reminds you, the truer you are to your self and purpose(s), the more self confidence and preservation you will have on your path.  Your soul came to live your life not the life that others have prescribed to you.

Aquarius

*Lovers – The Muse of Connection spends this week reminding you that a feeling of belong is as vital as having space.  This Muse comes when you have either lost connection to yourself and/or to parts of your chosen family.   Socializing this week is about balancing your time to reconnect with your self and time spent with loved ones.  Find time for both.

Pisces

Seven of Swords – The Muse of Ethics has come to hold you to yours.  This can look like someone trying to get away with not telling the whole truth or possibly deceiving yourself.  The challenge is how you handle this dilemma. Deciphering the why behind the deception will get you a lot farther

The artist this week is Laura Makabresku.  Makabresku works within the genre of surreal photography.  Surrealism was defined by Andre Breton in 1924 in the Manifesto of Surrealism.  He characterized the movement as “psychic automatism in its pure state.”  In other words, it is a genre that explores the unconscious, dreams, and emotions by putting together images that are chimerical and spark intellectual ponderings of what is real.  Makabresku’s photos uses symbolism, fairytales, but also seems to pry into the chaos of our dreamscapes.  Her photographs are often underexposed or show a hint of a scene.  Like when we wake from our dreams, her images leave us more with a feeling then with certainty of what we dreamt/seen.  Thus, with her work and our dreams, we investigate more of the why then the what.

Your pondering for the week as we enter Scorpio season of death, birth, transformation, sexuality and psychology:  When we wake from our nightly dreamscapes what do we consciously care into our days?

Solar System highlights:  On Monday the Moon starts in Aries– a time to start new projects. Then on Oct 20^th the full Moon is in Taurus – a great time to move projects forward.  The Moon then finishes in Gemini – conversations and knowledge are the keys to enjoying the weekend. Mercury goes direct in Libra– great for communication, creating networks and getting in touch with friends.  Venus is in Sagittarius and asks are we feeding and nurturing our relationships enough to keep them growing?    Mars is in Libra – another planet sending energy into investigating relationships this is around the question are your actions following your words?  This theme and work around your relationships is big until Mercury moves into Scorpio Nov. 7^th.  And lastly, Jupiter and Saturn are in Aquarius – so innovating and upping your game is their focus for the rest of this year.

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,

Aries

Ten of Wands – Last week the Muse of Creation challenged you to begin a project.  This week the Muse of Burdens suggests you par down your workload into more doable chunks.  The way to ease this week is realism, by downsizing your schedule and prioritizing your to-do list.  Plan for things taking twice as long and using more of your resources faster.

 

Taurus

Nine of Coins – The Muse of Fiscal Independence is here to help you plan on creating more wealth and sovereignty.   Her motto is “Work smarter not harder”.  Time to ask for compensation, a raise or raise your prices.

 

Gemini

Six of Swords– The Muse of Transition has come to help you unblock and move into new landscapes.  Something is holding you back.  This week is the perfect time to identify, remove these obstructions and move on.  Though the future is foggy there is land on the other side.

 

Cancerian

Three of Coins – Last week the Muse of Truth came to help you make an important decision and/or search for your personal truth.  She asked are you aligned with your higher self and your credos?  Now the Muse of Implementation has come to help you plan your next steps.  She also reminds you to use your network to help in your preparations.

 

Leo

*Temperance – Last week the energy suggested a rest stop to do some needed reevaluation.  Now the Muse of Mixology has come to help you take your next steps.  This energy suggests that a remix of items will help in balancing your fabrication.  The challenge with this process is imbalance often shows the way to balance.  So, a material plane exercise is moving everything in an area to the center of the room and then put back the items in a different way/place/combination.  Keep doing this exercise and you will find the mundane items you have remixed bring a new flavor into your life.

 

Virgo

King of Wands – The Muse of Growing Pains has come to push you on.  This week is challenging but all that you do is moving you to the next level.  The surer you are of your direction the faster the growth.

 

Libra

Five of Swords –  A bit of a review of the energies to work with in your coming birth year.  First, the Muse of Adventure is pushing you out of the door this year to discover the new.  Then the Muse of Material Success has you reviewing last year’s successes and setting goals for the coming year with them as a foundation. And the Muse of Pace has you finding what tempo you work the most efficiently at.  Then the Muse of Creation’s goal is co-creating and growing more abundance and beauty into your life. Lastly the Muse of Discord reminds you that conflict cannot be avoided this year.  As much as you like Harmony to truly create something new you will have to work with some chaos and dissonance.  This is not a year to moderate but to push through.

 

Scorpio

*Tower and the Ace of Wands – Not only did you finish the year with a bang, that was meant to create space, but you are starting your birth year with the Muse of Deconstruction and The Muse of Potential.  The first Muse comes to show you that you have some major cracks in your foundations.  This can be taken literally or in any area of your life.  Something is not working for you, and you have not been dealing with it or making excuses around it.  These Muses want you to strip away what is not working so you can re-divine a new you and surroundings.  The challenge with these energies if you don’t do the deconstruction the Universe will step in.

 

Sagittarius

Nine of Cups – The Muse of Contentment is here with a bag of cider donuts.  Yep, this energy wants you to find the little things that make life pretty darn good.  Whether that is apple picking, carving pumpkins, being out in nature, mulled wine or making pie.  This week enjoy the season.
