Emma Kunz was a healer and a reluctant artist. She created these drawings by a process she called radiesthesia. She used large pieces of graph paper, she would meditate visualizing a series of dots and lines and then with her pendulum beginning to draw the patterns with colored crayons and pencil. Her drawings were not made as an artistic endeavor but to be used for medicinal purposes. She often used them in her healing sessions. Placing them between her and her patient as they visually walked through the designs.
Though now her work is seen as outsider minimalist art and has been displayed in galleries. Her main body of work resides in a museum in Wurenlos, Germany. She described her creative process as follows: Shape and form expressed as measurement, rhythm, symbol and transformation of figure and principle.
P.S. Remember signs with an * it a big week for you. Pisces this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Virgo 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
Three of Swords – Sorrow is in the air this week. This is the ups and downs of being human. However, this kind of sadness brings with it an opportunity for forgiveness and a step to begin moving on. There are three things to learn with this suffering. Learn them and a begin the journey anew feeling lighter and enlightened.
Taurus
Six of Swords – You have just gone through a rite of passage. However, the path still is in a misty haze but now is the time continue on. Don’t get stuck in the miasma. To move forward the energy suggests simplification. Even though the future is not so easily seen, the lighter your load- the simpler the solutions -the easier your journey.
Gemini
Five of Swords – The aftermath of this past Mercury in retrograde still has its tendrils of chaos in your communication land. The energy this week is still full of disagreements and concealment. The best way to disengage with this dynamism is surrender and compromise. The disputes are really about ego, resentment and not worth your time.
Cancer
Ace of Swords – The energy in the beginning of this week has a sharp tone to it as we navigate out of this mercury retrograde. This can lead to confusion and possible antagonism. Situations cannot be dealt with by old ways of communicating. Look for new ideas and ways to connect to bring clarity and eventually a breakthrough.
Leo
*The Tower – The energy this week is about shaking things up. Pay attention. There are some cracks in your foundation, and they need to be tended to. This can look as simple as eating better, getting 8 hours of sleep, or being more efficient with your time because you are overly critical or trying to fit into “normal” work hours. To build stronger does not always mean with stagnate forces like brick and concrete, bamboo is strong and flexible. To go through an earthquake buildings are now being built on springs. Find new ways to shore up your foundations that are more innovative and adaptable. For instance, work two days a week for 12 hours, 2 for 8 hours and then you can fit in a 3-day weekend or make a protein packed smoothie for that forgotten meal.
Virgo
Five of Cups – This week’s energy has an air of regret and pessimism to it. The key to navigating this energy is realizing you can help solve the world’s problems by solving the ones in front of you first. Clean up some mess around you and be grateful for what you have that is not in disarray. The lesson is you seeing the left-over cups are half full and ready to be filled to the brim.
Libra
Seven of Cups – When was the last time you laid around just daydreaming- letting your imagination flow? The energy this week is allowing and advising you to do just that. Your challenge is letting yourself dream big enough. To help with this process, instead of thinking of dreams as illusions and fantasy, see them as seeds spreading out in the wind planting mystery plants of unknown bounty.
Scorpio
Eight of Swords – The energy this week highlights where you are being wronged. Whether this is self-affliction or allowing others to entrap you, this is the time for self-compassion about you allowing the harassment and strength to walk away from it without engaging in anger. The situation is like a Chinese Finger trap the more you struggle the more you are entrapped, but if you disengage in the fight you can get out of the bindings of it.
Sagittarius
Two of Swords – Once Mercury goes out of retrograde on the 9th or 10th depending on where you are at, it will be time to make some choices. The challenge is thinking that the choice will solve the problem. However, this week is about moving out of stagnation and avoidance and walking into the journey of discovery.
Capricorn
Knight of Wands – This week’s energy is all about adventure. Take to the road, try new places, things to eat, look around for inspiration outside your normal environment. The more you step out of the mundane the more you will get in touch with your passion, your joie de vie.
Aquarius
Queen of Swords – Last week change was in the air, but it was and is slow in coming. You were advised to take time to weed and till your soul’s soil. Clearing blocks from your forward moment so the Universe has a clearer path to create the change that you are wanting and waiting for. Well, lucky you this week’s energy gives you unbiased thoughts, clearer solutions and honest ideas to do just that. The challenge is that it can come from not only your subconscious (look to your day and night dreams for clues), but it also can come from outside sources. So, ears on and mind open Aquarius. Focus on details not the big picture.
Pisces
*Lovers – You are at a 
crossroads in a relationship. The energy around this week is making choices that involve, self-love, commitment and/or separation. To truly be harmonious in a relationship you must love yourself first and then work on being your best self. This is also true of the other person in the relationship. But they have free will and it is their responsibility alone to do that growth. So, this energy reminds you that relationships are work and advises love yourself and the other enough to see that creation and growth can happen, but it is up to both of you to decide whether that is together or apart.
May light be on you, around you, and within you,

This year compared to other signs was the bumpiest year energetically. (Average was 11 cards you got 18). Though the year started out slow, it gained speed by March and hasn’t stopped since. Your main theme this year, was change then build/create. You did this with 3 cycles of the Chariot card coming 3 times and the Empress or Emperor following. And since that change was solely in your hands, your Will to get things done created all the movement in your life. You had one respite in the months of July and August where you had time to catch your breath and focus on details instead of big picture. Though during that time you had 2 knight cards that continued the theme of change but with a more practical application. So in your reflection look back and see what places you made the change and progressed.
Overall your year was average in big themes, people and beginings/endings. However, this year was literally the year of ups and downs. You would have two karmic cards, high energy, to deal with, and then a month or two with your head either in the sand or buried in detail. Even your karmic energy was supporting you to pull away from society with the Hermit card dispersed throughout 2019. Hopefully you spent some of this time gathering wool of a bigger perspective about how to live your life going forward and what is your purpose. In your reflection look to places you have gained a wider or more holistic perspective on.
This year overall was average in comparison to other signs. However, karmically you started out the year with a bang and since your birthday it has been karmic point after karmic point to deal with. Also, this year you had six “9” cards. Nines are cards of preparation and signs that change is coming for the better. So, though you see glimpses of a better future, 2019 was spent working towards it. In your reflection look at all the work you have done while pondering what can be produced from it.
This year started out pretty slow. With your focus on getting things completed and starting up new projects. When you look at the average number of karmic energy cards, your sign has one of the lowest. But this big theme energy started in July, and is cramming it all in until the end of the year. While you are still trying to create the new. As sun babies you all like to particularly hibernate in the winter, but winter is calling, and you are answering it. In your reflection see all that you have accomplished and all that you have begun.
This year’s theme was finding balance especially around your emotions. The Moon card (the card of the subconscious, things hidden and emotions) showed up evenly at each changing of the seasons. Then Temperance (card of moderation) followed quickly thereafter. So at least for the first two-thirds of the year your lessons of balance and moderation turned inward. Then in October the energy shifted from inward to outward. The World card (opportunities outside of one’s self) followed your last internal journey with the Moon. In between these big shifts you also had more “6s” than other signs. Sixes represent finding ways to harmonize your mind, heart and spirt, and that small acts of karma, good or bad, reverberated through out the year. In your reflection focus on where lie your balances and imbalances.
For Libras this was a particularly low energy year. Compared to the other signs you have a below average year for having to deal with Karma, people and change. However, you also had the most Aces (new beginnings). This year had the potential to be a place where you started new relationships, projects, ideas, and investigated your purpose. To help you plant you had the most Queens than any other sign. Which is like having a green thumb in all areas of life. Your theme for 2019 was seeding creation. In your reflection see the garden you have planted.
Unlike 2018 where you all had the highest number of karmic cards-big themes (17 the average was 13), you had an average amount of karmic energy, people, beginnings and endings throughout the year. The interesting trend is that you took on two big ideas each season and worked on them before moving to the next. And within that focus and season, you dealt with one of the “5” cards. They represent chaos in each suit (thought/communication, material/wealth, spirit/purpose, emotions/love). So, though it was an “average” feeling year the trend of 2019 was finding ways in which to work through chaos or with it. In your reflection see the ways that you have made your life have more ease.
You had an average year compared to other signs within the realms of big themes and beginnings. You were the only sign that had no “10s” which are the completion cards. To add, you had six queens showing up about every two months having you focus on creation and comfort. 2019 you seem more focus on creation the completion. And with that, out of all the signs, you also had the most court cards. This means this year was a people year. So, though it was “average” you spent your time wisely connecting with friends and family and creating a personal life that is full of fun, savory-ness and a sense of home. In your reflection see the people that you love.
Though you had the average amount of higher arcane cards (karmic or big energy themes), people, beginnings and endings. You had the pairing of Justice and Judgement three times. This means that this year’s big trends where about equality/fairness, epiphanies and rebirth. Also, you had the most knight cards out of the signs. So even though you had the average amount of karmic energy, you had a year where you didn’t stop moving. The challenge with 2019 was did you give yourself enough time to do some big thinking around fairness and the progress you have made towards your rebirth? Or is it possible, you learned that by keeping on the move and the air beneath your wings made the path easier towards your awakening? In your reflection see how far you have flown.
Where 2018 you had an average amount big trends, this year you are one of three signs that had the least. And they were evenly dispersed throughout the year. You also fell within the average of new beginnings, endings and people in your life. So this year might have had the feeling of being blah; however, you all had the most pages then any sign. They started marching in right after your birth-month. Pages are the cards of learning within each suit, and you covered each suit: emotions, work, ideas, and purpose. This was a learning experience year, or I would like to call it – Your Year of the Sponge. 2019 was about absorbing new information and seeing the world with a new set of eyes. In your reflection look back and seeing all that you have learned.
To all of you in the Bahamas and on the East Coast, may you find refuge and be safe.
