This week I have picked another Virgo songster, Leonard Cohen. He turns 82 on September 21. To me he has gotten better with age. In his later albums, his phrasing has become more deliberate but smoother and his voice has gotten grittier and more soulful. Leonard Cohen’s work is dark and smoky but he is a wordsmith all the same. In that I mean that his words take me somewhere. They conjure up a magical image for me or pluck at the strings of my soul. Below is one of my favorite stanzas, so I’ll let him speak for me.
“Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic till I’m gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love”
P.S. Remember, when signs have * it’s a big week for you. I have attached some of Leonard Cohen songs that may or may not go with your tarotcast.
*Aries – Emperor – This is week four with you all getting big cards. The past four weeks you have been trying out new experiences, making small changes, having some amazing epiphanies and now it’s about Creating. Yes, that is Creating with a big C. These four consecutive cards are here to challenge you to expand your vision of who you are and what do you want to do and then to do it. This can be a simple exercise in redecorating your living room so you can actually enjoy it, creating a new project, or it can be as complex as expanding your career or life’s passion. The really cool thing that these card and even astrology has been saying is the Universe is challenging you to grow. And Aries, you thrive when you are challenged. You like a fight as long as it is fair. And at this time, the cards and the stars are saying the fight is right. I’m your Man
*Taurus – The Chariot/Five of Swords – The past two weeks you have been working on honing your people skills. This continues just a bit with the five of Swords. The lesson of Five of Swords is to be aware of one’s ego and how it can impede what you want to accomplish. Now with your ego in mind The Chariot asks how can you move your ideas forward in a balanced and objective way? Amen

*Aries – Death – Another big week for you with the Death card. Last week, The Wheel of Fortune had you try out new experiences without judgments or expectations. That should have given you a fresh perspective at what is possible. Now the Death card’s lessons around organic change can go more smoothly this week. Now again, this is two big cards in a row, so take heed – something needs to change in an essential way. The Death card recommends making small changes that will lead to a major shift. This can look like getting a new organization system that will expand your productivity and then brings you recognition at work, or getting rid of all the processed food in your cabinets because you need to improve your health. The Wheel gave you big picture ideas. And Death is giving you the time to make that change happen – one step at a time.
Aries – Nine of Cups – Now that last week’s challenge to build a simpler and more balanced solution is over. You have a week to tie up looses ends and contemplate your next move. The challenge with the Nine of Cups is to balance your “work life” with your “play life.” Even if you love your work, you have got to give your mind a break to reset.

Taurus – Eight of Pentacles – The Eight of Pentacles heralds another busy week for you, the last couple of weeks were about asking for help. This week you have a choice to collaborate or not. But I recommend trying to find some time alone to improve your skills. The Eight of Pentacles’ challenge is to improve a technique you need at work. For artists it can look like working on your sketching skills, for others it will be learning something new on computer or for teachers it can be learning a new way to teach fractions.
