The egg symbolizes new life. It is used by many artists as a symbol of everyday life, birth, sexuality, hope, and nature. The use of this oval subject dates to pagan’s rituals of Spring and was adopted by Christianity to represent Christ coming out of tomb. Some scholars hypothesize that the decorating of eggs started around the 13th century, for eggs were forbidden to eat during Lent. Therefore, people decorating eggs was part of celebrating the ending of their fast.
In German they took it a bit farther with the tradition of making nests for the Osterhause, a hare who lays colorful eggs but only to good children. This tarotcast is just for visual fun. In each picture there is an egg some are hard to find and some not so much. I stole this idea from Google Art so for more click Happy hunting.

Then the energy shifted trying to guide you towards self and universal compassion, so you could believe in you and the world at large. This week the energy embodies change and transitions.

So, take only what you need and let go of what doesn’t work.
Two of Swords – The mist that surrounds you is making decisions hard and/or is adding undue confusion to situations. So come to terms you are at a stalemate this week and it is best just to sit and wait out the bad weather. The fog will lift, and the road will be clear soon. Just not this week.
Two of Pentacles – Take this week’s energy to slow down the spinning plates. This is a time to look at what overwhelms you and where you are over committed.

Life is a balancing act, and this is a good week to regain some of your balance and dexterity.
Four of Cups – Meditation and retreat are key elements to your week. And the atomic structure of this energy lies within the concepts of apathy and acceptance. How do you allow acceptance into your life without feeling apathetic? Contemplating on that goatfish will lead to avenues of ease.
*High Priestess – Listening to your intuition is vital this week. However, figure out what your subconscious is trying to convey is hard to hear through all the static of everyday life.

The definition of fate is the development of events beyond a person’s control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power and luck is success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions. This is an important lesson for you this week. When your luck is favorable grab it and when it is unfavorable let it go. While realizing neither outcomes had anything to do with you.
Five of Wands – Compromise is key to the chaos produced this week. The more that you find solutions that lead to agreement and harmony the easier the path.

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.
*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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
