Tarot and Artcast for Aug 3-16

Ledelle Moe
Foldings, Ledelle Moe

The artist highlighted is Ledelle Moe.  Moe mostly works in sculpture and installations using dirt, concrete and steel.  Her pieces seem to hold a presence.  They ground us.  Maybe it is the size for some pieces but also her choice of material and process is palpable.  In her words:  “I have been exploring notions of monumentality and the human form through a series of sculpted figures. Created with a process that begins with the digging and gathering of soil from various locales and progresses in the studio through such actions as welding, casting, modeling, and carving, I create these figures in order to open up narratives that speak through both image and materiality…. Also, in play are what have been recurring themes in my work. These are issues of permanence and impermanence, location and dislocation, and place and displacement.”

 

Your pondering:  We are in the midst of summer.  Somedays seem to lazily stretch on-and-on and others are a flash of sunlight and heat. Time has been on my mind a lot lately.  So, this statement, by Moe about her installation Congregation (a series of small concrete heads where she collected sand, dirt and detritus from places she has visited- See Sagittarius below for pic), struck a chord with me and maybe you would like to ponder it too.  “Time is a very interesting shape, it folds, and it weaves and it’s a wave.  And sometimes a circle but its definitely not a line.” 

 

Solar System highlights

We start the week with the moon in Sagittarius – take a wander.  On Wednesday the moon moves into Capricorn – great for all things work related.  On Friday the moon moves into Aquarius with a full moon on Saturday – ponder the stars.  It then moves into Pisces on Sunday August 10th  – daydreaming is the vibe.  Then Tuesday August 12th the moon is in Aries – grab this energy to make things happen.  And we finish the two weeks with the moon moving into Taurus on Friday August 15th– rediscover your senses.

Mercury is in Leo until September 3rd.  Giving us an 11-week crash course in expressing ourselves with the caveat that we don’t shade others’ shine while we spread our own light.  Mars is Libra having us work on collaborations and cooperation. Venus is in Cancer when cuddling and beauty rest become the precedent. And mark August 11th for Venus sidles up to Jupiter this is the best configuration of the year.  Make wishes. Bring in the abundance and changes for the good.

Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, is in Cancer until June 2026.  This placement is exalted, because Cancer boosts Jupiter’s positive aspects and vice versa.  Jupiter creates more ease in our emotional growth, intuition, feeling nurtured as well as giving it.  However, the two-fold challenge is that growth needs time to cultivate and may bring growing pains.  So be kind and patient with others and yourself as we grow into our abundance.   Saturn is in Aries until September 1st for its first round of pumping up energy levels. This aspect is about calibrating how you burn your “candle”, so that you don’t burn out while everything is on the move around us.

Lastly, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are in their new signs for a tiny month-long peek into what the next social cycle, potential and places that need change will be highlighted.  Saturn represents structures and institutions, and Aries is about new ways to do things.  Uranus is the planet of revolution, freedom and innovation and Gemini is all things around the mind, information, and communication. Neptune represents our dreams and aspirations and in Aries how to make dreams real.  For society and personally this is the time to investigate new ways of evolving. So, get out your sketch books and draw out a new future for us and the world.

 

EXTRA

*Signs with an * it is a big week for you.    Leo this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Sagittarius it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in, now is the time.

**** I have a tip jar if you want to leave a gratuity for the tarot & art-casts.

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

Aries
Undulations, Ledelle Moe

Body of Earth – The Muse of Slow and Steady will be your companion for the coming weeks.  With Mercury in retrograde and Neptune (dreams) and Saturn (structures) in your sign.  Use this time to slow down and do some daydreaming and castle on the hill planning.  This muse reminds this energy isn’t about solely retreating or nose to the grindstone energy more about taking some time to get into the sandbox and play.

 

Taurus
Erosion, Ledelle Moe

*Star – The Muse of Hope is here to work with you for the coming weeks.  She asks you to contemplate what happens after deconstruction or completion.  Where, what and how do you want to rebuild.  What do you hope for?   What is your north star?

 

Gemini
Ledelle Moe
Moth, Ledelle Moe

*High Priestess – The Muse of a Higher Calling is walking with you for the coming weeks.  She comes when you have strayed from the path.  It can be as simple as you have deviated from what you want to do or as complex as you have lost your connection to yourself and thus have dimmed your purpose or intuition.  She advises spending the next two weeks finding time to padiddle.  Padiddling is the exercise of just sitting and listening. Your inner muse has messages though they may be hidden in synchronicities, whispers or the moon’s reflection in water.

 

Cancerian
Return, Ledelle Moe

Mind of Fire – The Muse of Sovereignty is your partner in the coming weeks.  Sovereignty is defined as supreme power or authority.  This muse comes because you have given your power away and it is time to wrest it back. One of the pillars in Stoic philosophy is that we can only control how we perceive and then respond.  By allowing others to dictate your responses, time or energy you have released some of your power.  Now is the time to get it back.

 

Leo
Relief, Ledelle Moe

Mind of Earth – These next two weeks are awesome for building in your material plan.   This Muse of Material comes when you need to focus on finances, your body and the physical work that needs to get done.  This muse asks to create action steps to increase your wealth and health. And to check off your to-do list.  By working on the physical plane, you create more self-authority in what you do with your time as well as creating a more materially abundant future.

 

Virgo
Ledelle Moe
When, Ledelle Moe

Three of Fire – For the next two weeks the muses would like to create and then act upon the steps for the future you are trying to materialize.  The Muse of Waiting comes when bigger plans are in the works, and you do not have control over their timing.  So, this muse asks, what do you need to do while you wait?  What needs to be set up to receive the abundance that is coming.

 

Libra
Transitions, Ledelle Moe

*Emperor – The last two weeks the Muse of Creativity wanted you to stand in the flow of inspiration by scheduling more time to bask in creative energy.  To be re-inspired- to plant what needs to grow.  Hopefully you found time to do this because these next two weeks the Muse of Building would like to start bringing those inspirations into the material world.  This muse challenges you to walk your talk.  She asks you to look around, what needs to be done?  Even the smallest tasks are steps in building a more bountiful future.

 

Scorpio
Exploding Geographies, Ledelle Moe

Ace of Wands – All aces signify new beginnings, and the ace of fire would this beginning to inspire you and possible the world.  So hopefully you got to work with the Muse of Tomfoolery the past two weeks and gathered some fun ideas.  If you did, then the muses are ready for you to begin bringing something new into your world. If you could not, then take these two weeks to ponder on what you would like to spring up in your life.  And if that is even too hard, take some actual seeds and spread them around your neighborhood.  And then pay attention to what the Universe puts in front of you.

 

Sagittarius
Ledelle Moe
Congregation, Ledelle Moe

Four of Water – So it seems the muses would like you to continue your work on pondering what you are evolving.  For the Muse of Belly-buttoning would like to work with you for the coming two weeks.  Now remember the Muse of Evolution predicted this is a perfect time to begin transforming.  See the last tarotcast if you are still feeling directionless or have trouble pinpointing where to start.  This Muse would also like you to remember that 3/4 of the time you can do this inward search and work, but the other 1/4th needs to be done in the world.   You need to practice your inner work out in the real world and gain a broader perspective and/or new ideas how to tweak your evolution.

 

 

Capricorn
Transitions Displacement, Ledelle Moe

Mind of Fire – Hopefully you got to work with the Muse of Perspective the past two weeks to pull back and ponder the bigger picture. The broader your view the better the understanding of what is next.   And now the Muse of Sovereignty is your dance partner.  Sovereignty is defined as supreme power or authority.  This muse comes because you have given your power away and it is time to wrest it back. One of the pillars in Stoic philosophy is that we can only control how we perceive and then respond.  The mind is the only aspect of yourself that you have the ability to take control of.  Time to burn the rest away and reclaim your core.

 

Aquarius
Collapse, Ledelle Moe

Seven of Air – The Muse of Simplicity comes when you need to streamline your life.  She asks you to prioritize your needs and then to spend your mental energy working on them only.  So, if you are fed, watered and done with work, do not add more to your to-do list.  This muse reminds you that you just being – can be enough.

 

Pisces
Lament, Ledelle Moe

*Justice – During these next two weeks things are not just yes/no or right/wrong.  The Muse of Gray has come for you to do work on the whys behind things.  This is a balancing act of making decisions and discernments but realizing that paradox and complexities still exist.  She has you working on making the best decision with what is now at hand and not what was or what it could be.  If you believe and trust in the why behind your decision, then it is the right one for now.

Tarotcast

Tarot and Art-cast for July 6-19, 2025

Kawase Hasui
Kawase Hasui

The artist highlighted is Kawase Hasui.  Kawase was famous for his landscape paintings and prints.  He was part of the Shin-hanga (new prints) art movement in early 20th century Japan. Shin-hanga artists incorporated the impression of light and the expression of individual moods. Kawase’s sunset landscapes and his choice of everyday scenes instead of famous landmarks show how he is capturing a mood more then highlighting the subject.  He moved away from ukiyo-e traditions of emulating hand-drawn brushstrokes, seeking instead to “create works replete with creativity and rich with artistic quality, by avoiding enslavement to hand-drawn painting or old models”

 

Your pondering: Two ponderings around this art.  Is your creativity or work stunted by an established norm?  How can you change or focus on how your environment influences your mood?

Solar System highlights

We start the week with the moon in Sagittarius – explore.  On Wednesday the moon moves into Capricorn – great for business or for working through projects.  On Saturday the moon is in Aquarius – spend some time pondering.  It moves into Pisces on Monday July 14th – daydreams and wishes are on the agenda.  Then Wednesday July 16th the moon is in Aries – now that you have had some time to think put things into action.  On Friday July 18th it is in Taurus – great for hanging with family and friends.

Mercury is in Leo.  Giving us an 11-week crash course in expressing ourselves with the caveat that we don’t step on other’s shine while we spread our own light.  Venus moves into Gemini work on your sweet talk.   Mars is Libra – work on collaborating and cooperating.

Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, is in Cancer until June 2026.  This placement is exalted, because Cancer boosts Jupiter’s positive aspects.  While Jupiter creates more ease in our emotional growth, intuition, feeling nurtured as well as giving it.  However, the two-fold challenge during this time is that growth needs time to cultivate and sometimes this growth brings growing pains.  So be kind and patient with others and yourself as we grow into our abundance.   Saturn is in Aries until September 1st for its first round of pumping up energy levels. This aspect is about calibrating how you burn your “candle”, so that you don’t burn out while everything is on the move around us.

 

And we have another shift in the social planets. Uranus is dipping its toe into Gemini until November 7th.  Uranus is the planet of revolution, freedom and innovation and Gemini is all things around the mind, information, and communication. The last time it was in this sign democracy was being reborn.  It will return to Taurus, which holds back Uranus tendance for uprisings until April 2026, so the old guard still has the reins.  But we get a taste of the what that revolution needs to stand for in the coming months.

Aries

*Three of Air – The Muse of Emotional Healing comes when you need to spend the next two weeks focusing on healing old wounds. Often present situations trigger an old wound that you thought was healed.  The key is doing a deeper dive into where this scar originated.  She advises you to keep picking at it until you find it source and heal it from the past forward.

 

Taurus
Kawase Hasui
Kawase Hasui

*Chariot – The Muse of Self-Motivation comes when you need to stop and recheck if the road you are on is taking you to your desired destination.  This muse advises to spend these next two weeks revising your path and securing the resources you will need to move forward.  And then when you are reoriented begin your journey again.

 

Gemini
Kawase Hasui
Kawase Hasui

*Fool – Another big energy period for you. The last two weeks the Muse of Metamorphose ask you to look around and see what needs to evolve to the next level and transforming it into its higher form.  Now the Muse of Leaps would like you to make a blind or semi-blind leap of faith to further this evolution.  This can look like going out on a date, a new friend excursion, trying a new cuisine or art form or applying for a new job.  Tomorrow has the potential to hold a variety of “fill in the blanks”.  This muse asks, what will you write in them?

 

Cancerian
Kawase Hasui
Kawase Hasui

Ace of Earth – This is a lovely energy for your coming birth year.  All aces signify new beginnings, and the Ace of Earth signifies new beginnings on the material plane.  This is a great wishing card for manifesting.  The muses recommend a fun exercise of planting actually seeds or plants with an intention imbued in it. You can write your wish on paper and put it in the dirt with the seed/plant.  Or if you are not sure what to wish for, ask the Universe for blessings and throw the seeds into the wind.  PS. Happy Birthday.

 

Leo
Kawase Hasui
Kawase Hasui

*Death – Your third big energy.  So, the muses made you make sure you have a road map for the coming year and then had you unload something that you didn’t want to carry into your new year.  Now the Muse of Stillness is here for the last two weeks of your old birth-year to have you stop and contemplate.  This isn’t so much about rest, though it is a part of this energy, but it is about sitting still and listening to your inner voice.  To still your mind, get bored, stop being on the wheel and see what comes up for you.  This is not a time to judge anything but to let things rise from the void. The goal is to metaphorically let the cream rise to the top, and to do so you need to be still.

 

Virgo
Kawase Hasui

*Wheel – The next two weeks the Muse of Fortune would like you to take chances.  She reminds you that if you don’t spin the proverbial wheel, you never have the chance of winning.  For with this mercurial energy, you can win big right away, it can take a meandering path to get to you, or you cannot win.  (This is different than losing because you just didn’t get a prize, but you didn’t lose anything.)  And an interesting result with this exercise of trying is it always leads you to positive returns.

 

Libra
Kawase Hasui
Kawase Hasui

Nine of Air – The Muse of Worrying comes when you are fretting over something you have no control over.  Your thoughts are a whirlwind of apprehension and doubt.  The muse suggests this exercise when your thoughts begin taking over.  1) Write them all down. 2) Cross off the ones you have no control over their outcome.  3) Prioritize the rest.  Also, she reminds you not to chastise your mind for worrying.  Worries are helpful by preparing us for the future; however, once you have prepared for what you can accomplish that is all any human can do.

 

Scorpio
Kawase Hasui

Heart of Air – The Muse of Investigation comes when there is information that needs to be ferreted out. In most scenarios people are not trying to hide something or thwart you. They also may not have all the pieces to the puzzle or need help digging for the truth.  This is also true when those around you generalize their answer to your “how are you?”  They may need gentle coaxing to spill their proverbial beans.

 

Sagittarius
Kawase Hasui

*Emperor – The Muse of Building is here to help you build upon something that is already in progress or that you have put on the back burner for too long. This muse heralds this is the right time to invest in yourself and your projects.  This can be as simple as knocking of some of your “honey-to-do lists” or as complex as pulling down that idea of starting your own business and begin.  Now is the time to make things happen.

 

 

Capricorn
Kawase Hasui

Spirit of Fire – The Muse of Purpose asks you to spend these next two weeks pondering not only what do you want to create but why does it burn inside of you to do so.  She advises spending time in museums, music halls, art galleries, or nature.  To quiet your mind by observing what other masters of creativity and beauty inspire in you.   And thus, connecting you to your own creative fire.

 

Aquarius

Kawase HasuiSeven of Fire – The Muse of Standing your Ground comes when either you need to strengthen your boundaries or reevaluate them.  The latter is harder because maybe you are too dogmatic for the situation, compromising too much or giving up because you can’t see a solution.  For any of these, this muse suggest that you engage a friend or supporter for help with either redrawing your boundaries, seeing your needs and/or just having another person by your side.

 

Pisces
Kawase Hasui

Two of Fire – The Muse of Imagining comes when you need to do some planning and envisioning of your future.  You can do this with a vision board or just write down a futuristic July 1st, 2027, journal entry that sums up what you have accomplished and experienced.    She does advise that you get as detailed as possible as well as envisioning general feelings that your future self will be feeling.  By doing both you give the universe some concrete things to work on with you, as well as, giving the universe room to create what you can’t imagine for yourself.

 

 

Tarotcast

Tarot and Art-cast for June 22- July 5, 2025

Jamil Naqsh
Jamil Naqsh

The artist highlighted is Jamil Naqsh.  His work is an intersection of figurative, cubism and graffiti.  He was fascinated by the layering of civilizations, calligraph, women and pigeons, so these are his predominate explorations in his art.

Your pondering:   His friends say that Naqsh was not political but he also said “Not talking about an issue does not deny its existence“.  This week with Mercury in Cancer work on having hard conversations while still being nurturing and loving.  As Mary Poppins says “a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down, in the most delightful way”

Solar System highlights

We start the week with the moon in Gemini – communication is in the forefront.  On Wednesday is a new moon in Cancer – focus on what you want to nurture and don’t forget nurturing yourself.  On Friday the moon is in Leo – time to be in the sun.  It moves into Virgo on Sunday – get organized for the week ahead.  Then Wednesday July 2nd the moon is in Libra – harmony and cooperation are key.  On Friday July 4th and the rest of the weekend it is in Scorpio – go watch some fireworks or make some of your own ;).

Mercury is now in Cancer – great for expressing our emotions but watch family squabbles.  Then on June 26th Mercury spends 12 weeks in Leo.  Giving us a crash course in expressing ourselves with the caveat that we don’t step on other’s shine while we spread our own light.  Venus is back in Taurus until July 4th. Take advantage of this gorgeous energy.  Find time to experience the beauty that surrounds us by using your senses.   Mars is in Virgo settling the overall energy into a rhythm that helps us sustain our oomph for get things done.

Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, is in Cancer until June 2026.  This placement is exalted, because Cancer boosts Jupiter’s positive aspects.  While Jupiter creates more ease in our emotional growth, intuition, feeling nurtured as well as giving it.  However, the two-fold challenge during this time is that growth needs time to cultivate and sometimes this growth brings growing pains.  So be kind and patient with others and yourself as we grow into our abundance.   Saturn is in Aries until September 1st for its first round of pumping up energy levels. This aspect is about calibrating how you burn your “candle”, so that you don’t burn out while everything is on the move around us.

Aries

*Chariot – The Muse of Self-Motivation comes when you need to make a major alteration either in your life or by beginning a project or moving along one that has stalled.  First, this muse reminds you need to define a clear or clearer destination.  Therefore, asks yourself what are my goals?  The next step is to plot a road map of the steps needed to reach your destination. It is important that you remember that you are in the driver’s seat so the speed in which you go is up to you, but it is imperative that you start your journey in the coming weeks.

 

Taurus
Jamil Naqsh
Jamil Naqsh

Heart of Water – The Muse of Joy comes when you have forgotten to add joy into your daily priorities.  Do things like take in a sunset, cuddle something that loves you, hug a tree, kiss a butterfly, play in a sprinkler, do chalk drawings, etc.  The key is being totally present when expressing or taking in joy.

 

Gemini
Jamil Naqsh
Jamil Naqsh

*Judgement – The Muse of Metamorphose comes when you need to up your game.  She asks you to look around and see what needs to evolve to the next level.  A relationship?  Your skills?  Your living space?  Parts of your personality?  The key with this energy is transforming something that already exists into its higher form.  The timing of this energy is perfect for the launch into your new birth year.

 

Cancerian
Jamil Naqsh

Nine of Earth – You start off your birth month with the Muse of Self-Awareness.  She would like you to take these next two weeks thinking about what your accomplishments were this past year.  What would you give yourself a gold star for? And then ponder how you will build upon these successes in the coming year.  Jupiter is in Cancer aspecting with your sun sign for a whole year.  This is a wonderful alignment for creating more of whatever you focus on.  So, analyze your past success and use them as a jumping point to your coming birth year.

 

Leo
Jamil Naqsh
Jamil Naqsh

*Death – Your second big energy.  Last week the Muse of Self-Motivation reminded to reconfirm your goals, the road map to get there and then to begin the journey.  Now the Muse of Release is asking you to unload some of the baggage you are still carrying with you, so you can move with more ease.  Your metaphorical trunk needs space to collect more paraphernalia along this coming leg of your journey.  Whether that is literally going through your material stuff or letting go of old routines that no longer serve you.  The challenge is not filling up your empty suitcase too quickly.  You have a full year to fill it up.  Use this time before your birthday just to release.

 

Virgo
Jamil Naqsh

Mind of Water – The Muse of Emotional Intelligence comes when you need to work on yours.  Emotions are gateways to insight but should not rule our nature.  Happiness tells us when we are surrounded by what feeds us.  Sadness can mean we have lost something that we have deeply loved.  Anger can mean that you really care about or for something. Take these next two weeks to talk to your emotions and glean the information they have for you. And read The Guest House by Rumi if you feel stuck.

 

Libra
Jamil Naqsh

*Magician – The Muse of Experimentation has come to have you work on manifesting something new into your life.  This muse recommends spending some of these next two weeks pondering on what you want.  This pondering could be deeply philosophical or intensely practical.   The key is answering: How will it expand or help you and/or others?   Then start playing around with the pieces/steps to get there.  During this experimental phase mistakes will be made but they are always a place of learning not of sole suffering.

 

Scorpio
Jamil Naqsh

Ace of Air – New beginnings continue for you.  Last week the muses wanted you to embark on a new journey or exploration.  Now they would like you to focus on changing, enhance your learning from information supplied by others.  This means gathering information from new sources.  Read new books, explore genres, listen to new podcasts, etc.  This energy comes when information is out there to help you along your journey, but you need to open new doors of knowledge to find it.

 

Sagittarius
Jamil Naqsh

Three of Water – The Muse of Friendship comes when you need to fill your emotional cups.  And the best way to do this is to have some quality hang-time with your chosen family.  The interesting thing with this energy is that you need a refill as much as your friends do, so this hang-time is mutually beneficial.

 

Capricorn
Jamil Naqsh

Eight of Earth – The Muse of Mastery is working with you in the coming weeks. She says you have all the tools and skills you need but you need more practice using them.   This is about tweaking how you are doing things, not spending energy fixing something that isn’t broken or creating something that isn’t really needed.  Her motto to you: You got this.

 

Aquarius
Jamil Naqsh

Mind of Earth – Resourcefulness is needed these coming weeks.   Resourcefulness is defined as the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties.  The challenge for you all is the quick part.  For as a sign you have an innate ability to ponder things for too long, trying to find the best solution.  Also, this can often lead you into time-consuming tangents.  So as you are working on projects, your day, even conversations, look for the quickest easy solution for now.

 

Pisces
Jamil Naqsh

Nine of Fire – The Muse of Elasticity has come to help you become more resilient.   Resilience is defined as the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties.  But the challenge is you becoming dogmatic or “my way or the highway” conversations.  This muse challenges you to be more pliable with your boundaries, point of view, values, without losing their main themes.  She advises engaging in compromise and conciliation before waging war.

Tarotcast

Tarot and Art-cast for May 25 – June 7, 2025

Evgeniya Gor
Evgeniya Gor

Since the dogs had there day and June is Adopt a Cat month, the artist highlighted this Tarot and Artcast is Evgeniya Gor @evgenya.gor.  One of the subjects she photographs is street cats. She explains: “most of the adorable animals in my photos are homeless.”  Not only does she highlight these animals’ plight, but she also carries food to them and supports shelters by donating.  She strives to show us not only the strays’ resilience amidst the harsh winters of Astana but also the vital role animals play in our lives – a way to connect with another living being.

Your pondering: We have four indoor pets, and a variety of hummingbird and bird feeders (which are also frequented by squirrels and chipmunks) in our yard.  And this year I planted a hummingbird and butterfly garden to strengthen my stewardship and companionship with other beings of earth.  How can you increase your stewardship for the cohabitants of the little piece of earth you live on?

Solar System highlights

On Sunday the Moon moves into Taurus – time to ground yourself and set your goals.  On Tuesday it is a new moon in Gemini – time to voice your emotions and work on your emotional intelligence.  On Thursday the moon is in Cancer – self-care is the focus.  On Saturday it moves into Leo – get out in the sun.  Monday June 2nd the moon moves into Virgo – great time to organize and prioritize for the week.  On Thursday June 5th it is in Aries – great time to start a project.  And on Saturday June 7th it moves into Scorpio – explore your passions.

Mercury is now in Gemini – its home.  This aspect is great for enhancing your communication skills and networking.  Venus is back in Aries until June 6th, for round two of implementing action steps that bring more harmony and beauty into your daily routines.  Mars is in Leo until June 17th, so there is an energy surge for action, change and new beginnings.

Our longer aspects: Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, is in Gemini until June 9th.   This placement helps us to work with opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written pursuits.  However, we must also watch its challenging aspects: not following through, gossip, too much information and fickleness.   Saturn is moving into Aries for its first round hoping to up your energy level. This is about calibrating how you burn your “candle”, so that you don’t burn out.

*Emperor – Hopefully you all rested because the Muse of Building and Work is here.  She helps with projects and any kind of construction move along.  She challenges you by asking is what you are spending all this energy on is it durable?  Does it help in the realization of what you want to materialize?  If so, great steam ahead.  If not use this time to recalibrate and shift energy to what does.

 

Taurus

Body of Air – The Muse of Rushing In comes when you need to slow your horses and think before you speak or act.  The challenge with this energy is defining when you need to be the heroine/hero of the day or put in your two sense.  This muse advises to ask yourself does the person I am helping actually need my help or my opinion.  This energy is a lesson around where the lines sit between co-dependence, interdependence and self-reliance.

 

Gemini

*Star – The Muse of Hope has landed on your doorstep.  This muse challenges you to find and then write down what in your life promotes hope.  Then she would like you to post these inspirations and illuminations all around your home.  For this birthday-month is about healing, resting and filling your cup of inspiration.

 

Cancerian

*Temperance – The next couple of weeks will have some serious energies that feel as if they are trying to push you off-kilter.  However, the Muse of Harmony has come to help.  This Muse reminds that in music harmony is defined as the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions having a pleasing effect. And to resonate with this energy you need to recalibrate your notes to make your chord of life ring truer and stronger.  So, she asks what part of your life is missing or imbalanced as you play your symphony of life? And remember the silence between the notes is as important as the notes themselves.

 

Leo

Three of Water – Where the last two weeks the muses wanted you to step back and gain perspective. These next two weeks the Muse of Friendship wants you to hang out with people.  She prompts you to socialize and especially catch up with friends.  Whether that is an lazy late lunch or going out and dancing until dawn.  This energy is about finding/creating the joy of the hang.

*Empress – The Muse of Gardening comes when you need to tend to your life garden.  She challenges you to weed out what no longer serves you and then seed the empty beds.  Then she pushes you to grow something new.  Something that you were too scared or tired to start.  And she reminds you that while you are doing this work of growth and creativity that patience is a much-needed virtue in this process.  Patience with yourself and the process.

 

Libra
Evgeniya Gor

Five of Air – The Muse of Ego shows up when the chaos that surrounds you is partially your fault.   Whether you put in your two sense when it wasn’t needed or accidentally stepped on toes.  This muse advises to step back, see your part in the problem and fix just that.  For this is just partially your problem.  The rest is totally up to the other party and their ego to wrestle with.

 

Scorpio

Nine of Earth – Sometimes things just work out and these coming weeks there will be frequent occasions for this to happen.  The Muse of Discernment comes to help you make them more likely to occur.  Discernment is defined as the ability to judge well.  The key to enhancing that quality is honing your self-awareness.  The muses ask, are you capable of handling these situations of potential positive progress solo?  Or do you need help or more information?  Judge your next steps wisely.

 

Sagittarius
Evgeniya Gor

Four of Fire – The Muse of Happy Home is here to help you implement stability into your personal environment.  This can be as simple as tidying up your space or fixing a leaky faucet. This muse advises you to look around your personal space and fix the minor things that can make your home cozier and ease instead of dread and a list of to-dos.

 

Capricorn
Evgeniya Gor

Mind of Fire – The Muses would like you to spend the next two weeks planning what are your needs so that the implementation of your intuition can come with more ease.  Whether that is having a flexible plan for the coming months that allows for progress but also the agility to course correct when needed.  Or removing mental obstacles that hinder your ability to feel the freedom of believing in yourself.  Or enough resources to keep your creative fires burning for longer stints.  These two weeks are a combination of structuring, confidence and resourcing so that you can follow your intuition as it bobs and weaves.

 

Aquarius

Five of Fire – These next two weeks have the potential to be very chaotic.  The Muse of Chaos advises, if you can, not to participate in the competition and commotion. Use this time to survey the lay of the land.   However, if you must play the game the key is to commit to playing but while having sight of a clear exit strategy if needed.

 

Pisces
Evgeniya Gor

Five of Earth – The Muse of Poverty comes when you think you do not have the resources to carry on.  She advises if this is financial, look over your budget.  If this is time oriented, look over your schedule.  And if it is about physical space, doing something like rearrange your furniture.  These are things you can do solo.  But she also advises that you should have a support group that helps you emotionally and/or on the material plane for the bigger/overwhelming stuff.  For this is also a time to ask for help and take advantage of collaboration. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Tarotcast

Tarot and Art-cast for April 27- May 10, 2025

Romare Bearden
Romare Bearden, Mysteries ii adjusted lores

The artist highlighted is Romare Bearden.  He is a painter, collage and mix media artist. He is best known for his collages and Photostats.  Throughout his career, he had practiced copying, redrawing, and reworking his own images.  An extension of that are large-scale photo reproductions (called Photostats, after the machine used to make them) of these worked collages.

The results are significantly larger, in black and white, and flatter, with the edges of the distinct paper pieces muted. By doing this process to his collages he made his pieces occupy a larger part of the viewer’s space rather than being drawn into the details of the original collage.  These reminds us that there is a broader aspect/perspective to any story or situation.

Your pondering: Bearden once said, “I really think that the art of painting is the art of putting something over something else.”  Not only can this be applied to art, painting and collage, but it also can apply to the building of who we are.  Our memories are applied layer upon layer to create our perspective and identity of who we are.   Investigate your layers and then pull back and see what you have become because of them.   

Solar System highlights

On Sunday the Moon moves into Taurus – use your senses to navigate the beginning of the week.  On Tuesday it goes into Gemini – your communication skills are needing adjustment.  On Thursday the moon is in Cancer – self-care is good care.  On Saturday it moves into Leo – get out in the sun.  Tuesday May 6th the moon moves into Virgo – great energy to get down to work.  On Thursday May 8th through the weekend, it is in Libra – relationships and harmony are at the forefront.

Mercury is back into Aries for round two until May 9th. Great time to work on expressing your wants and needs but watch your tone.  Venus is still in Pisces until April 30th.  This is your second chance to work with your dreams, art and creativity. The it moves back into Aries for round two of implementing action steps that bring more harmony and beauty into your daily routines.  Mars is in Leo until June 8th.  There will be an energy surge for action, change and new beginnings.

Our longer aspects: Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, is in Gemini until June.   This placement helps us to work with opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written pursuits.  However, we must also watch its challenging aspects: not following through, gossip, too much information and fickleness.   Saturn is in its last 4 weeks in Pisces wanting us to learn how to be more fluid and inclusive in our structures.

 

EXTRA

*Signs with an * it is a big week for you.   Taurus this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Scorpio it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in, now is the time. `

Ace of Fires – All aces signify new beginnings and growth.  The Ace of Fire is the energy of passion and creativity.  The muses would like you to spend the next two weeks using your imagination and creative side to explore what makes you energized.  And then find a way to incorporate that activity into your schedule in a more consistent way.

 

Taurus
Romare Bearden, La Primavera

Queen of Fire – The Muse of Nature is calling you to come out and play.  This muse suggests picnics, birdwatching, gardening, walking, sitting under the stars (a planetarium will work too), etc…. Her reasoning is that your creativity and mental health needs time in wide open spaces and/or feeling connected to something bigger than yourself.  The bigger the horizon or more intimacy with nature the better.

 

Gemini
Romare Bearden
Romare Bearden, The Return of Odysseus

Heart of Earth – The Muses would like you to spend the coming weeks as if you were a new student in a new school.  Looking at your surroundings and relations with the spirit of curiosity.  There is new information that is vital for you, but you can’t see it because you believe you are familiar with it.  The Muse of Learning challenges you to learn something new from what you consider well-known.

 

Cancerian
Romare Bearden
Romare Bearden, Carolina Morning

*World – The Muse of Opportunities is working with you for the coming two weeks.  She challenges you to look at your aspirations and to-do lists and ask yourself, is this really what I want to spend my energy on?  Your birthday is not far off, and the muses would like you to finish up what you would like to release before entering your new year and experiment with what you would like to accomplish for the coming one.  This muse is reminding you that the future is not set in stone.  Opportunities will come if the universe has some idea of what you want.

 

Leo
Romare Bearden

Eight of Water – Finally you get a break for the big energy surge of the last month and a half.  The Muse of Cleaning is working with you the next two weeks.  She challenges you to clean up literal and metaphorical messes.  To sort through your actual closet and your emotional one.  Get rid of what no longer works for you, so you can make room for the new.  Now is the time to walk away from the old and into a new cleaner simpler horizon.

 

Virgo
Romare Bearden
Romare Bearden

*Strength – The last month the muses wanted you to work on building and brainstorming.  Now the Muse of Resolve is challenging you to strengthen your backbone and do what you have planned on doing.  If you find that you are blocked or procrastinating this muse reminds you to go back to your sense of self, ask, does this align with who I am?  If it does, then tap into that energy.  If it doesn’t go back to the drawing board and work on your plan until it does.  And she would like to remind you, you are stronger then you think.

 

Libra
Romare Bearden, Mama’s Knee

Body of Earth – The Muse of Steadiness is working with you for the coming two weeks. She comes when you are not firm in the reasons why you are doing what you are doing.  And because of your unsteadiness you have plateaued, slowed or come to a stop.  This muse advise that you work with your body to figure out where to go next.  Do exercises like putting one solution in one hand and one in another, put your arms out straight and feel which hand is heavier.  That will be the right solution, so you can carry on.

 

Scorpio
Romare Bearden, Serenade

*Lovers – Relationships are highlighted during this time.  So, the Muse of Relationships advises to observe the give and take in the relationships you are committed to right now, both personal and business.  She asks, are these commitments balanced?  Are you seeing growth of both you and them?  Or are you paying off a debt that no longer needs paying?  She suggests pondering, would you still be committed to them if you were stuck on a desert island with them for a year, for 5 for 10.  If so, great, focus on those relationships,; if not maybe it’s time to “vote them off the island.”

 

Sagittarius
Romare Bearden, Season

Heart of Air – The Muse of Investigation comes when people you are conversing with in the coming weeks are not telling you the full story.  This is not done maliciously; it is more that they need you as a soundboard and co-investigator to help them solve a problem or deepen an understanding.  So, put on your detective hat and help those around you find the true meaning behind their words.  This will also help you gain a clearer understanding of the thought processes of the ones you hold dear.

 

Capricorn
Romare Bearden

Ten of Water – The Muse of Happiness has come to hang with you for the next two weeks.  The challenge is, can you put your work horse mentality off to the side and enjoy the bounty.  This muse would like you to spend these two weeks finding happy places and savoring them.  You have worked hard for where you are now and it is time to celebrate just a bit before getting back in the saddle again.

 

Aquarius
Romare Bearden, The Block

*Devil – The next couple of weeks hold a few tests for you.  The Muse of Exams reminds you that these are just tests.  You have already done the work and learned the lessons.  Don’t re-learn or re-do the work.  You only need to answer the questions that are posed with a simple yes or no.

 

Pisces
Romare Bearden, Falling Star

*Magician – I hope you stabilized and did some game planning the past two weeks because the Muse of Materializing is here.   She wants you to start manifesting the destiny you have planned.  She reminds you that you should still feel comfortable tweaking and make sure your manifestation truly aligns with your divine calling.  Making sure you have the room and flexibility to experiment and adjust along the way.  Time to bring your desires and intentions into the real world.

Tarot and Art-cast for March 30 – April 12, 2025

Vasilisa Romanenko
Vasilisa Romanenko

The artist highlighted is Vasilisa Romanenko @vasilisa.romanenko. Vasilisa Romanenko is an illustrator, designer, and fine artist. “She creates paintings and drawings inspired by botany, natural history, and textile design. Her artwork depicts the mystery, beauty, and fragility of nature using botanical elements, intricate patterns, and vivid colors. Vasilisa sees her paintings as windows into a magical world, much like the one she enjoyed getting lost in as a child while reading fairy tales. She creates artwork using both traditional and digital mediums.”

Your pondering: My favorite childhood stories were about people being able to talk to animals or understand them. Dr. Doolittle was the big one for me.  What were your favorite fairy tales or stories as a child?  Did they have a common element?

Solar System highlights

On Monday the Moon moves into Taurus – keep yourself and projects moving.  On Wednesday it goes into Gemini – communication is highlighted.  On Friday it is in Cancer – get snuggly with the ones you love.  On Sunday April 6th the moon moves into Leo – your time to shine.  On Wednesday April 9th it goes into Virgo – keep things tidy and organized.  And on Friday the moon enters Libra – another weekend to hang with the ones you love.

Mercury is back into Pisces for round two figuring out how to communicate your dreams.  Also, it is in retrograde until April 6th, so remember to use this time to recharge, reflect and redo. Venus has also retrograded back to Pisces until April 30th.  This is your second chance to work with your dreams, art and creativity. Mars is in Cancer, so movement forward still takes alternate routes to get to your destination.

Our longer aspects: Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, is in Gemini until June.   This placement helps us to work with opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written pursuits.  However, we must also watch its challenging aspects: not following through, gossip, too much information and fickleness.   Saturn is in Pisces until May 25, wanting us to learn how to be more fluid and inclusive in our structures. And it is the last time it will work with Venus (love, beauty, creativity and art) for another 28 years, so it is a good idea to work on inking in some Venusian activities into your daily schedule.

 

EXTRA

*Signs with an * it is a big week for you.   Aries this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Libra it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in, now is the time. `

Six of Fire – The Muse of Jubilation is working with you for the next two weeks.  This is quite appropriate because it is your birth month.  She would like you to celebrate all that you have worked so hard at doing for the past year.  Yeah, she acknowledges that there were challenges, but you have overcome them if you are reading this.  She also wants to remind you how amazing and unique you are, and now is the time to celebrate the you that you have become.

 

Taurus
Vasilisa Romanenko

*High Priestess – Okay so for these next two weeks the muses have given you a divine task(s).  The key with this energy is knowing that you were put on this earth to bring your divine unique presence into this world and these two weeks that are especially highlighted.  To do so you must be your most authentic self – that beautiful human flaws and follies included.  This is good practice for considering what you want to do with your new birth year.  What do you aspire to even when you are perfectly imperfect?

 

Gemini
Vasilisa Romanenko

Eight of Air – The Muse of Bondage comes when you are being held back by old thought patterns that no longer work for you.  These thoughts were put there by other people and you took them on as yours.  Possibly to fit in or you didn’t have the knowledge of experience and grabbed the first thing you could, to protect yourself.  Now is the time to release them, to fly and be free of others’ expectations and rules.

 

Cancerian
Vasilisa Romanenko
Vasilisa Romanenko

Seven of Water – The Muse of Imagination would like to work with you for the coming weeks.  She suggests you do exercises to expand your dreams.  Pondering what if scenarios that do not have boundaries or limitations.  Then she would like you to decipher the feelings behind those dreams and from those feelings create a wish list/vison board.  An example, you want a new car, the feeling behind it is freedom, so freedom becomes the wish.

 

Leo
Vasilisa Romanenko

*Fool – Your second round of big energy. Last week the Muse of Manifestation reminded you that you have all the tools to manifest your desires, you just need divine inspiration and focus to manifest them.  So, I hope you did some goal setting, for now the Muse of Exploration would like you to experience new things without judgement.  This challenge is to make sure your manifestations are not a rehash of old ideas or outdated means to materialize them. Clean off your workspace and start with a proverbial new canvas and just play around.

 

Virgo
Vasilisa Romanenko

*Emperor – The Muse of Building is working with you for the coming weeks.  This muse suggests only working on projects that are already in process.    This energy likes to build onto whatever is already in existence but needs adding on to make it more lucrative and efficient.  The challenge is building in durability as well as building for the common good.  This is a quality or over quantity vibe.

 

Libra
Vasilisa Romanenko
Vasilisa Romanenko

Nine of Fire – The next couple of weeks are going to present some challenges that will be hard for you as a justice loving sign to deal with.  The Muse of Boundaries suspects that an aspect in your environment will try to test your endurance and resilience. The key to navigating this energy is to know where you stand before you go into a situation.  And if you are called on to deal with something immediately at the very least take a moment before you engage.  This is not a time to fight so don’t cross others’ boundaries while at the same time being very clear where yours are.

 

Scorpio
Vasilisa Romanenko
Vasilisa Romanenko

*Temperance – The Muse of Mixology would like you to recalibrate aspects of your life.  Imagine your life as a bread recipe.  There are main ingredients (flour and water) that all lives are made of.  But depending on the bread you make, add some yeast to make it airier or bananas and chocolate to make it sweet and moist, the quality and tastes are different.  So, this muse would like you to figure out/tweak, what are the ingredients for your good life?  And in what quantity do you need each element to be to feel balanced?

 

Sagittarius
Vasilisa Romanenko
Vasilisa Romanenko

Three of Fire – The Muse of Endeavors would like you to use this retrograde time to reflect, restore and redo.  This is not a time to start new projects but to stand back and gain perspective on projects that are in the works now.  See this as a time of preparation.  A time to refuel and possibly rethink better mechanisms and routes to get what is in progress to the next stage.

 

Capricorn
Vasilisa Romanenko

Seven of Earth – Nothing like a Capricorn to use a time where you should be pulling back to work harder moving forward.  The next two weeks the Muse of Work is with you helping you make progress on things that you are focusing on.  However, she also challenges you to take at least a few days off to rest and restore your body and mind.  Yes, this can be a working vacation, but you also need to have some fun without goals, a schedule or a payout.

 

Aquarius
Vasilisa Romanenko

Eight of Earth – The Muse of Mastery is hanging with you for the next two weeks.  She would like you to tweak a skill you have mostly mastered.  So, think along the lines of, if you do woodworking, learn a new way to join wood without nails.  Or if you love baking, tweak your favorite recipe.  The challenge is to know what you are good at and then make it a bit better or be able to do it more efficiently.

 

Pisces
Vasilisa Romanenko

*Emperor – The Muse of Realization would like you to take a project you have on the backburner and bring it forward.   Look around your environment or work and see what needs to be done.  Maybe it’s getting an ergonomic chair, fixing the squeaky door, or that art project that has sat there for months. The challenge is working through the blocks.  You have got this, you know how to swim upstream.

Tarotcast

Tarot and Art-cast for March 2- 15, 2025

Bennu and Futuraheliopolis, Rithika Merchant

The artist highlighted in this tarotart-cast is Rithika Merchant @rithikamerchant. Merchant’s work “explores the common threads that run through different cultures and religions. Similar myths, stories, and ideas are shared by cultures all around the world; her paintings explore this concept while also featuring creatures and symbolism that are part of her personal visual vocabulary.”

Using collage, painting, drawing and geometric paper folds, she gets the viewer to perceive and examine our connections between the mind, body, and Earth. And perhaps ponder that we have similar pieces that make us relatable to another, but it is how we put these pieces together that makes us unique. As she stated in an interview for Colossal: “I think there is something powerful in taking whatever scraps you can find and putting them together to create something meaningful.”

Your pondering: I have always been intrigued by our use of symbols, especially those that we see cross cultures like the image of an eye or the sun.  Symbols are often simple and at the same time hold a larger content.   What symbols or images would you use to represent you?    

Solar System highlights

We begin with the Moon in Taurus on Monday – great energy to get things done.  On Thursday it moves into Gemini – communication and information exchange are emphasized.  On Saturday it moves into Cancer – do things around the house.  On Monday March 10th  the moon moves into Leo – your time to shine.  On Wednesday the 12th it moves into Virgo – great for organizing.  We have an eclipse on the 14th lay low if you can.  Then on Saturday the 15th the moon is in Libra – relationships take priority.

Mercury is now in Aries – great for using communication to move things forward. The challenge is realizing compromise is the only way to do it.  So, watch “my way or the highway” kind of thinking. Mars is retrograde in Cancer, so movement forward still takes alternate routes to get to your destination.

Venus is still in Aries.  This is not one of Venus’s favorite spots. But it does teach us to follow through with our actions and to take this Aries “go for it” energy to make the world a more loving place.  Just watch for stubbornness or over reaction.  Lead with curiosity and create win-win situations that move you and others forward not backwards.

Our longer aspects: Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, is in Gemini until June.   This placement helps us to work with opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written pursuits.  However, we must also watch its challenging aspects: not following through, gossip, too much information and fickleness.   Saturn is in Pisces until May 2025 wanting us to learn how to be more fluid and inclusive in our structures.

 

EXTRA

*Signs with an * it is 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
Quantum Fluctuations, Rithika Merchant

Six of Air – The Muse of Tiny Transitions will be traveling with you this week.   She challenges you to make little doable changes in your life that will move you to a clearer more efficient headspace.  For example: wanting to get up earlier, she advises just starting to set your alarm in 10-minute increments until you get to the hour you are wanting to rise at.  Look for small simple ways to make your life and thoughts more efficient and your daily life easier.  And on a side note, this muse says water is an important element to make this transition.  Whether that is going to the beach or lake or taking a bath, this exercise is a great way to hear yourself think.

 

Taurus
Deliverance, Rithika Merchant

*Tower – The Muse of Deconstruction comes when you need help seeing what isn’t working in your life.  This can be something like physically not taking care of your body, mentally not taking care of your mind, being in the wrong vocation, or as simple as oiling a hinge that’s squeaking and is driving you crazy.  The key with thus energy is not ignoring the cracks or wishing away the irritants that can be fixed.  So, look at what in your daily life resources you and dismantle what does not.

 

Gemini
Plant Medicine, Rithika Merchant

Nine of Earth – The Muse of Discernment challenges you to see what and who you are dependent on.  Are you being realistic with your expectations of them? Are you taking action instead of being reactive?  This Muse reminds you that relationships are important to your well being, but they also can be a detriment if interdependence changes to dependance.

 

Cancerian
Halcyon Days, Rithika Merchant

Body of Earth – The Muse of Pace advise during the next two weeks to watch your pace as well as move at the appropriate one.  These coming weeks need a slow and steady movement to gain ground. This may seem contrary to Mars being in your sign.  For most people this aspect of working on sideways movements to gain traction is hard, tries their patience but is meant to help see alternatives to the narratives.  However, this is old tromping grounds for crabs. You all by instinct can find alternative solutions to any problem.

 

Leo
Midnight Sun, Rithika Merchant

Spirit of Water – The Muse of Compassion is working with you for the next two weeks.  She advises that kindness and sincerity are not only useful to get things done with others but also will tame your inner lion(ness).  These challenge times bring out the protective side of you all and most of the time this is helpful and appreciated.  Who doesn’t want a big cat in your corner.  However, this muse recommends for the next two weeks to be more kitten-like, cute, playful and if they scratch, they are easily forgiven.

 

Virgo
Providence, Rithika Merchant

King of Fire – The Muse of Vibrancy is challenging you this week.  Vibrancy is defined as the state of being full of energy and life.  This muse wants you to be the beacon in helping us, as a community, to become more vibrant in our own lives as well as others.  So, this muse tasks you to help others become more of who they are instead of who they should be.  So, the muses ask you to shine in your uniqueness to inspire others to shine in theirs. Your motto: I am the change I want to see in the world.

 

Libra
Rithika Merchant
Panorama II, Rithika Merchant

Body of Fire – The Muse of Adventure would like you to do two things.  One to see your life as an adventure full of curiosities to discover and puzzles to unravel.  And secondly to take a real-life adventure.  It can be a day trip or a weekend.  The where is less about the destination and more about the journey there.

 

Scorpio
Rithika Merchant
Altered Destiny, Rithika Merchant

*Magician – These next two week the Muse of Experimentation is hanging with you.  She would like you to experiment with some part of your life where you are trying to manifest or conjure up something new.  The key is that this new aspect’s what, how and when need to be played around with to manifest something truly unique and useful.  So, she challenges you to let go of expectations and work on bringing the divine (excellent; delightful) into the world.

 

Sagittarius
Rithika Merchant
Rithika Merchant

*Lovers – The Muse of Relationships is working with you for the next two weeks.  She challenges you to be more intimate with people.  Maybe of late you have pulled away or felt the need to be independent and freewheeling, for this is your natural state.  However, this muse is asking you to engage more deeply with the people around you.  You all are the philosophers of the zodiac and easily see how all things are interconnected, but the Muses are challenging you to take actions to prove it.

 

Capricorn
Mothership II, Rithika Merchant

*World – The Muse of Integration is choosing to walk with you in the coming weeks.  This energy shows up when you are in an alpha and omega moment.  Where aspects of your life are coming to an end while simultaneously things are beginning. You are here at this moment because of all your hard work and therefore ending a chapter.   While simultaneously you are walking into a new cycle of evolution.  She advises that you let go of the past as you finalize it, so your arms are open to embrace the future.

 

Aquarius
Panorama III (Aether), Rithika Merchant

Mind of Earth – The Muse of Building comes to give you energy to build upon what already is in existence.  This is a great time to finish off things on your to-do list, and to bring projects that were on the backburner to the front.  This muse suggests using this Mars in Cancer energy to find alternative ways to get past the blocks you might have with unfinished projects.

 

Pisces
The Inner Sanctum, Rithika Merchant

*Hanged One – The Muse of Suspension comes when you need to put things are hold so you can contemplate new perspectives.  This energy’s mythology is based on Odin hanging from the Tree of Life and discovering the runes.  The key to this story is him discovering the runes not that he created them.  There is a little quantum theory with this energy.  It is the concept that everything already exists, and we just need to align ourselves with that thing’s frequency to tune into it.  So, use this time to sit back and just ponder – let your mind wander and see what it discovers.
