Tarot and Artcast for Sept 14-27

Kirsty Elson
Kirsty Elson, Fox

The artist highlighted for this Artcast is Kirsty Elson @kirstyelson.  Elson is a found object sculptor and specifically with driftwood artist.  I picked her this week because I needed some whimsy and calm.  She originally started making seaside townscapes and has now moved to more whimsical animals.  As she says, “I’m thoroughly enjoying this new path, as I can be even more playful and inject some humor into my work which I think is a nice distraction in these troubled times.”  I also highly recommend watching a beautiful documentary short, Seawood about her, the ocean and her work.

 

Your pondering:  Her mother said, “she was a bit like a magpie, collecting things”. We all collect things around us.  What do your collections say about your emotional needs?  Calm? Whimsical? Colorful?

 

Solar System highlights

We start the week with the moon in Cancer – self-care is the focus.  On Wednesday it shifts into Leo – and we shift from inner to outer shine.  Saturday the moon is in Virgo and there is a new moon on Sunday – time to organize. Monday September 22nd the moon moves into Libra – relationships are the focus.  Then Wednesday September 24th it shifts to Scorpio – put time into what makes you zing.  Then we begin the weekend with the moon in Sagittarius – go exploring.

Mercury is in Virgo until September 19th having us make our communication more efficient and clearer.  Then it moves into Libra where this energy is best used to work on balancing equalizing listening and speaking.

Mars is Scorpio until November 4th. This aspect is a perfect time to work on our passion projects.  Venus is in Leo until September 19th, amplifying all parts of Love in your life.  Just watch that you don’t get too dramatic especially in your personal relationships.  Bath in Love without the cling. Then Venus moves into Virgo where working on making your environment welcoming becomes the focus.

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.

Lastly, Saturn is back in Pisces until February of 2026.  So, we are back to our structures having trouble being…well… structured.  And I am sending out extra feel-good vibes for you all with a Saturn in Aries or Pisces and are dealing with this erratic Saturn return.

 

 

EXTRA

*Signs with an * it is a big week for you.    Virgo/Libra this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Piscis/Aries 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
Kirsty Elson, Ram

*Star – Things have been a bit bumpy as you move out of the summer season.  Luckily you have the Muse of Healing and Hope to inspire you.  She suggests spending the next two weeks future-tripping around what you would like to heal in the coming months and with that healing what would change.  This muse advises doing this through writing or any creative endeavor by expressing what it would feel and/or look like in this new paradigm shift.  The more nuance the better.

 

Taurus
Kirsty Elson
Kirsty Elson, Bull

*Chariot – The Muse of Momentum is your co-pilot for the coming weeks.  This muse gives you the gas and grease you need for any project you have in the works.   However, she does require you to have a clear destination and route laid out.  Otherwise, you will be doing donuts in the proverbial parking lot.

 

Gemini
Kirsty Elson
Kirsty Elson, seahorses

Ace of Earth – All aces promote new beginnings.  The Ace of Earth is energy to begin a project on the material plane.  This is a great time to fix up your house, begin a business, invest money, move, or buy something you really need.  The only caveats the muses warn you about are to be clear on the first steps and have all your materials in place.

 

Cancerian
Kirsty Elson
Kirsty Elson, Crab

Three of Air – The Muse of Healing is your companion for the coming weeks.  This muse works with thought patterns that hurt your heart.  These are usually old wounds from outside sources but that still need mending.  And in the coming weeks these traumas may reappear.  These are not reenactments but phantasms to clue you in on what still needs healing.   Remember your brain has the capacity to rewire itself, but it takes time.  So, use this energy to tend to these wounds daily until the road of joy is used more than the road of trauma.

Leo
Kirsty Elson
Kirsty Elson, house lion

*Chariot – The Muse of Momentum is lending her energy to you for the next couple of weeks.  This is a great time to get projects off the back burner or to begin a project.  She will grease the wheels of movement, but you must provide a clear direction to this kinetic time.  If you find this hard to do, she suggests that you corral a companion to keep you on task and a good playlist to keep the energy up.

 

Virgo
Kirsty Elson, Deer

*Fool – Okay so either you are not trusting the process of jumping into the unknown or you need more of this energy.  Because the Muse of Spontaneity is your companion again.  And possible a theme for your whole new birth year.  So here we go again, this Muse would like you to say yes to invites, strike up conversations with strangers, take new routes going home, or take a passion project off the back burner.  Use this energy to be let go of perfectionism and goal orientation.  This Muse would like you to open yourself to the unknown.   To have more faith in yourself when you step into the void, for you will find stable ground even if you can’t see it.

 

Libra
Kirsty Elson, Bluebird

*Moon – These next two weeks will be a deep dive into your emotional realm.  The Muse of Reflection would like to work with your shadowy side.  She reminds you that the shadow side is not something to fear or fix, but a place to dive into the why of the past and reflect on how your reactions helped you at that time. This process works with self-parenting “the you that was” when you did not have support or positive role models and then by caring for and forgiving “the you that was” with the amazing you that is now.

 

 

Scorpio
Kirsty Elson. Lantern Fish

Heart of Fire – Hopefully you spent some time the past two weeks working with the Muse of Inertia rediscovering what is important in your life, creativity and innovations.  Because the Muse of Spark would like you to play within your creativity. She suggests doodling or experimenting with your choice of inspiration without a goal, for this will reengage your spark and intuition.   The key is playing and surfing your creative currents, so you can realign with your inner path.

 

Sagittarius
Kirsty Elson, Horse

Three of Earth – The Muse of Collaboration comes when you are trying to do something on your own but you need outside help or perspective.  These coming weeks get out your contact list and call on others to keep you aligned to your task, aid you with advice or physical person-power.   It’s not that you can’t do it on your own, but collaboration will make the workload lighter and inspire you to broaden your imagination.

 

 

Capricorn
Kirsty Elson, Goat

*Magician – The Muse of Manifestation is your co-conspirator these coming weeks.  The key with working with this muse is to first connect with the why behind what you want to manifest.  Is it aligned with divine inspiration/your soul?  The second task is to allow for experimentation. Mistakes bring more success.  And lastly to realize you have all the tools you need to do this task, no need to hit the books to learn something new.  Utilize what you have around you.

 

Aquarius
Kirsty Elson, Penguin

*Hierophant – The Muse of Structures is perfectly aligned with the planetary energy of Mercury and then Venus in Virgo.  This month’s energy will best be utilized by optimizing and streamlining your structures, schedules, resources, and environment, for potential growth and building.   This muse advises to spend this time tweaking what needs enhancement for your serenity and ease as you moved into this fall season.

 

Pisces
Kirsty Elson, Narwhale

Eight of Air – The Muse of Letting Go is your co-collaborator for the coming two weeks.  She would like to work with you on letting go of old thought patterns that no longer serve you.  These paradigms where helpful and protective at an earlier stage of your life, but now they bind you from stepping into your future.  She advises writing down your negative self-talk and finding its origins and then comparing it to where you are now.  If you find it no longer rings true to your present circumstances, then it is time to let it go.  And if by chance it still rings true then update how you deal with it.  Because either way the old recordings are no longer working.

 

Tarotcast

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.

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 Dec 15-31, 2024

 

Mila Zemliakova
Mila Zemliakova

Happy Solstice to all of you.  May the light shine on you, in you and with you.

The artist highlighted this tarotart-cast is Mila Zemliakova, @milazemlia.   Mila’s anthropomorphic creations are pieced together from her and her family’s collection of textiles.  The artist shares that she sees this menagerie as an expression of “the connection of Belarusians with their nature, as well as with their traditions, which are now in a dangerous position and under repression.” cite Colossal.   This is one of the many things that artists and their art do for us viewers; they connect us to culture and perspectives that are not our own.

Your pondering: Mila often takes pictures of these soft sculptures outdoors in what could be called their natural setting.  Often sitting in quiet repose, staring of in the distance or if we are lucky into the viewer’s eyes.  Take time this season to sit in quiet contemplation (hopeful within the view of nature) and see what comes up.  May this new year bring peace to you and to collective we call life.

Solar System highlights

We begin with a full moon in Gemini on Sunday night.  Go out and howl at that beautiful, illuminated globe in the night sky.  On Monday the moon moves to Cancer – find ways to nurture yourself.   The on Wednesday the moon shifts into Leo – your time to shine.  And then on Friday it moves into Virgo – great for prepping for your festivities.  Solstice is that Saturday. Release the old and make wishes for the new.

On Monday December 23 the moon moves into Libra- great for hanging with friends and family.  On December 25th the moon is in Scorpio- it’s all about celebrating pleasure.  And then on Saturday the moon is in Sagittarius – go exploring.  And we end the year with a new moon in Capricorn on Monday December 30th – a great time to think about what action steps you would like to take but see Mars below for the challenges.

Mercury is in Sagittarius until January 8th, 2025, and is now out of retrograde.  So, we can keep exploring big ideas, truth seeking and growth in communication. The challenge is still being blunt or soapboxing.  Especially because Mars is retrograding in Leo until Jan 6th, 2025.

This aspect is fiery when direct – great for getting things done but be careful around egotism in yourself and others.  However, when in retrograde it is hard to keep momentum. Also, Mars stays in retrograde though it moves into Cancer until February 23rd, 2025. Which if you remember action moves sideways not in a straight line.   So, with all that New Moon in Capricorn energy for planning our moves forward, it will feel like a very slow start to 2025.

One of our brighter spots is Venus, which is in Aquarius until January 2nd, 2025.  This aspect is all about hope and love.  So, shower the world with hope, harmony and love.  Be the Change….

Our longer aspects: Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, is in Gemini until June of 2025.   This placement is here to help us 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.   And Saturn is in Pisces until February 2026 teaching us how to be more fluid and inclusive in our structures. And lastly Pluto in Aquarius is still feeling very new.  So is you are feeling wobbly, remember to take things slowly.  We have lots of time with these aspects.

 

EXTRA

* I usually do a year looking back as my last tarotcast for a year.  That is, I look at the statistics of the most pulled cards.  I am doing this as a 10-year study on whether pulling cards had an even probability.  Or does woo come into play.  Well, my inquiry ends next year at the end of September. So, I decided this year that I will hold off at looking at the trends and do it as a bigger post in October 2025.  Though if I have time, I might post an abbreviated version of this year’s trend on my Instagram @thefoxandthetarot.  Will post around solstice.

** Signs with an * it is a big week for you.  Sagittarius/Capricorn this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Gemini/Cancer 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.

*Hierophant – These final weeks of 2024 the Muse of Structures challenges you to ponder are the structures in your life supporting you.  Now is the time to tweak or dump what isn’t working for you. This new year is asking you to innovate the structures in your daily life and for some of you investigate your belief systems. Are they giving you the support/foundation you need/want for the year ahead?  Get out your pencil (and I do mean pencil because of the flexible criteria – you will need to erase and rework all next year) and start creating your stronger but more flexible foundations.

 

Taurus
Mila Zemliakova
Mila Zemliakova

Heart of Fire – The Muse of Spark is accompanying you through these final weeks of 2024.  She challenges you to create more space for your passions, for the things that get you up and running, for art, and for more nature.  She would like to see AWE in your everyday life.  So, stay curious, discover and then support the things that make you go: Whoa! Wow! OOOOooo! Yum! Love it!

 

Gemini
Mila Zemliakova

Six of Earth – The Muse of Generosity is here to help you enter the new year with more ease.  She challenges you to look at what you do, see if you can’t make it into a positive and then extend that positivity outward.  Make it magical.  Say you clean the counter – you imagine you are cleaning away old karma for yourself and/or anyone who needs it.  Or you are feeding your family – see it as giving them energy to accomplish their dreams.  Where washing your hair or brushing your teeth becomes a spell for self-care.  And where smiling at a stranger creates a wave of goodwill spreading across the globe.

 

Cancerian
Mila Zemliakova

Three of Air – The Muse of Healing is you co-pilot into the new year.  These coming weeks are meant for parenting that inner child and pampering the adult you have grown resiliently into. You might feel some barbs or twinges of past hurts.  Take this time to see where your scabs are and make sure you have taken the time to properly attend to them.

 

Leo
Mila Zemliakova

Two of Water – The Muse of Love is hanging out with you for the final days of 2024.  She challenges you to figure out what you need and need to heal to be truly in love with someone as well as yourself.  This self-love is especially hard for you lions.  You are all tough on the outside but a mushy kitten on the inside.  Remember to tend to the kitten these coming days.  So, lots of play, naps and cuddles.

 

Virgo
Mila Zemliakova
Mila Zemliakova

*Death – The Muse of Organic Change will be your guide these final weeks of 2024.  She first asks you to excavate what no longer works for you.  What purpose, project, person no longer is appropriate for the new you?  Now is the time to compost these outdated aspects.  By doing so you are creating more fertile ground and resources for growth in 2025.  And then she challenges you to write out a baker’s dozen (13) of things you would like to grow in this coming year.  Your motto: Out with the old and in with the new.

 

Libra
Mila Zemliakova

Four of Water – During these final days of 2024 the Muse of Contemplation hangs with you.  She challenges you to do a deep dive into your emotional well.  Is it full?  Do you have some emotions you haven’t dealt with this year?  What has your heart been saying that you haven’t had time to hear?   But it is not all inner naval gazing part of these insights come from outside sources.

 

Scorpio
Mila Zemliakova

Nine of Air – The Muse of Worry is working with you these final days to slow your mind.  She challenges you to spend these final days of 2024 to set aside any worries you have that you do not have a solution for.  Spend the rest of 2024 creating or doing action steps to clear your plate of solvable scenarios.  So, by the time Mars goes direct in February you are focused and have more time to work on new things.

 

Sagittarius
Mila Zemliakova

Five of Earth – During these final weeks of 2024 the Muse of Refuge is hanging with you.  Refuge is defined “as a condition or something where you are safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or trouble.”  You are the explorers and wanders of the signs, but everyone needs a homebase, a place that grounds and protects you. She asks where is your refuge?   So, she would like you to spend this time shoring up what, where and/or who of the that question.

 

Capricorn
Mila Zemliakova
Mila Zemliakova

Seven of Water – The Muse of Dreams would like you to spend the final days of 2024 daydreaming.  2025 will be full of opportunity.  Now with Pluto off your proverbial back, you will feel freer than you have for the last 16 years.  So, spend time cleaning your plate and dreaming bigger than the practical side of you usually allows.

 

Aquarius
Mila Zemliakova

*Devil – The Muse of Final Exams is here to help you finish out 2024.  She asks what business is unfished?  What would you like to wrap up so by the time your birthday comes you are ready to begin anew.    As Pluto moves in with your Sun sign for the next 2 decades these will be very transformative years for all of you, water bearers.  New careers, new lifestyles, new relationships are all on the horizon.  So clean/finish up what you do not want to carry forward.

 

Pisces
Mila Zemliakova

*Wheel – For the final days of 2024 the Muse of Surprises comes to hang out with the fishes.  She challenges you to go with the flow.  Take opportunities as they show up.  Work on being spontaneous. This is not a time to push things through or make things happen.  The world has its own agenda and wants you to loosen up and roll with the surprises. If you do, you will end up in a better place then you started.

Tarotcast

Tarot and Art-Cast for week of Oct 1, 2023

Caitlin McCormack , Aequalis

It is my favorite month for spooky inspired artists.  The artist this week is Cait McCormack, @mister_caitlin. 

 In their words:  “My self-taught practice primarily involves meticulously crocheted cotton thread that is dredged in a mixture of non-toxic glues, natural dyes, and foraged pigments, and fashioned into sculptural forms. The string central to this process is typically sourced from estate and garage sales, as well as collections inherited from my deceased family members, who used it during the Great Depression to create delicate adornments for their homes and bodies. My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was a kindergartener, and the practice is deeply entwined with my lifelong compulsion to produce hand-wrought objects in response to the world around me.”  

I love that during this month the veil between life and death gets thinner. McCormack’s work reaches through this veil. She sources their material, skills, and subject matter from the past.  And then their subject matter brings up these transgenerational questions of death, gender, sex, isolation, and ruination.   And within this process they memorialize the trauma or triumph of living.  

 Your pondering for this week: How do you memorialize your traumas and triumphs?  

 

Solar System highlights 

The moon begins in Taurus – start this week by grounding yourself.   On Tuesday it moves into Gemini – hone your communication skills.  On Thursday, the moon moves into Cancer – self-care is needed.  Then for the weekend the moon is in Leo – find a bit of sun and relax in it.   

The planets are starting to move.  First Mercury (communication and knowledge) is going into Libra on October 4th.  We moved from lessons to being clear and concise when communicating to finding the balance of listening as well as communicating clearly.   Mars (action) is also in Libra until Oct 12th. Having us purview that our actions justify our goals    While Venus (beauty and harmony) is in Leo until October 8th.  It is in its last week having us explore the question: Does your outward expression of yourself harmonize with who you are within?  

The outer planets until the end of the year and into next are having us work on nurturing the pleasures in our lives, be aware of dipping into overindulgence, making our structures elastic and responsive to change, and lastly looking back to 2008 to see if any lose ends need to be tied up especially around the house and planets that sit in your natal Capricorn.    

 

***Signs with an * it is a big week for you.  Libra, this is a perfect time to get a Astrological Tarot Reading  for your coming year.  And Aries, it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading  for a check in now is the time. And I have a tip jar if you want to leave a gratuity for the weekly forecasts.   

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

*Temperance– Last week the Muse of Possibilities asked you to expand your horizons.  This muse reminds you that experiencing “the new” not only expands your environmental space but also allows expansion in your mind and your soul.  Now that you have created space, the Muse of Intention would like you to do a deep dive into the why behind what you intend do.  Do your actions align with your intentions?  And now with the background in exploration of what is possible, you have opened yourself to new intentions and/or the space to redesign the old ones.

Queen of Water – Last week you had tea with your more sobering emotions getting to know them more intimately.  This week the Muse of Fun would like you to reacquaint yourself with the sunnier side of your emotional spectrum.  Time for playing in puddles, ridiculous dad jokes, and spreading random joy to others.  

 

Gemini

Queen of Fire – The Muse of Spirit has come to inquire about yours. How is your passion level?  Your spirit? How are you creating in your life?  What is getting you up in the morning?  If you cannot answer one or all these, this is the week to contemplate on finding those answers.  And if you can, take this week to create space for your spirit to grow.

*Sun – The Muse of Radiance would like you to apply some shine to your life and grow.  She reminds you, however, not to step into the full sun without some sort of metaphorical sunscreen. You need protection so that you do not spend your solar energy solely on others’ well-being or growth.

Four of Earth – The Muse of Savings would like you to not overspend in the areas of money, space, or time this week.  She would like you to bank some of these material commodities, so you can spend them with more leisure later this month.   

 

Virgo  
Caitlin McCormack, Cat

Ace of Earth – Material new beginnings are blessed this week.  The muses say that this energy is great for starting new projects on the material plane.  Time to plant those bulbs in the fall so they can bloom in the spring 

 

Libra  
Caitlin McCormack, Can’t Go Back There

Eight of Fire – Messages and information surround you this week.  So, the Muse of Messages advises you on how to sort through this pile of “paperwork” in two ways.  One, you have a single focus and only access the messages through that lens.  Or two, you can collect everything you hear and see without discernment.  And then next week categorize and prioritize it.  The key is that all this information is useful and if you miss some along the way it will come back around.   

 

Scorpio  
Caitlin McCormack, Best Behavior

Three of Water – The Muse of Friendship comes when you need to hang with your BFF’s, for your emotional cups need filling.  The interesting thing is that their cups need filling too.  So don’t be shy or worried about interrupting, the hang is beneficial to all of you. 

 

Sagittarius

Libidinous Drifter

Seven of Air – The Muse of Simplicity would like you to work smarter not harder this week.  She advises working on only the things that are easy to deal with.  You will have more success and gain more ground than you think you will if you do so. 

    

Capricorn  
Caitlin McCormack, Cold Soil Kettle

Knight of Air – This week has the potential to be full throttle.  So, the Muse of Rushing is advising you to slow down.  Watch getting pulled into situations or conversations that have potential of requiring a heroine or hero.  This week take the slow road and the metaphorical back seat.  And if you have to take action, watch and listen before you leap. 

 

Aquarius  
Caitlin McCormack, Different On The Phone

*Hierophant – The Muse of Structure ask what are your foundational needs? She asks you to be specific like you need healthy snacks in the house, to wind down before bed by reading, more alone time or more time with friends. And then she advises to take one foundational need and implement it solidly into your schedule.   

 

Pisces

King of Pentacles – Last week the Muse of Intention wanted you to dive into your intentions and make sure they align with your goals and vice versa.  Now the Muse of Action would like you to start doing the action steps that are now more in line with your desires and therefore your destiny.  Take the step.

Alissa Alfonso
Alissa Alfonso Orange Cannabis

The artist this week is Alissa Alfonso  @alissaalfonso.  Alfonso works with repurposed fiber, found metal objects and fused plastics.  Her series Nature’s Medicine is focused on creating traditional medicinal plants and botanicals from these discarded items.  Her work exemplifies seeing the beauty of nature alongside its disappearance. She also has a series of puffy landscapes that are beautiful.  Part of the beauty of her art is that it is not only based on awareness, the fleeting beauty of nature, but also hope. 

In her words: “I dream of puffy clouds, idyllic landscapes, and kaleidoscope skies super-enhanced with phytotherapy. I have always embraced a deep connection with the natural world through my art. That connection is rooted deep in my subconscious where my imagination refabricates nature into my artful practice. My creations are a complex mix of emotions, memories and passions that preserve the natural world the way I enjoy seeing it. They highlight the beauty we can find in nature, without downplaying the devastation that we have and are causing.” 

 

Your pondering for this week: This is more of an exercise than a pondering. Record, either through a photo or writing, a moment in your day. It does not have to be exceptional, but I would like you to describe that moment to yourself or another with an essence of preciousness.  

 

Solar System highlights 

The moon begins in Scorpio focus your passions.   On Wednesday it moves into Sagittarius – free up some time to wander.  On Friday, the moon moves into Capricorn– focus on getting items off your to-do list.  

Mercury (communication and knowledge) is now halfway through its 10 weeklong stay in Virgo (analyzation) and out of retrograde.  So, lessons continue with getting to the point when communicating.  Being clear and concise is the goal.  Mars (action) moved into Libra (balance) until Oct 12th. Having us purview that our actions justify our goals    While Venus (beauty and harmony) is in Leo until October 8th.  This is a four-month exploration on the question: Does your outward expression of yourself harmonize with who you are within?  

The outer planets are still having us work on nurturing the pleasures in our lives, dipping into overindulgence, making our structures elastic and responsive to change, and lastly looking back to 2008 to see if any lose ends need to be tied up especially around the house and planets that sit in your natal Capricorn.    

 

***Signs with an * it is a big week for you.  Virgo, this is a perfect time to get a Astrological Tarot Reading  for your coming year.  And Pisces, it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading  for a check in now is the time. And I have a tip jar if you want to leave a gratuity for the weekly forecasts.   

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

Ten of Earth- Last week the muse wanted you to push through projects.  This is another week of hard work.  But the Muse of Completion would like you to work on only projects that you can finish or getting a project to its next stage.  This week the muses want you to see that your hard work has end points.  So, at the weekend you are directed to relax and enjoy the break. 

 

Taurus

*Emperor – The Muse of Manifestation wanted you to get a head start on manifesting last week and that even makes more sense now, for the Muse of Building has arrived.  I hope you brainstormed last week what you wanted to bring into the world because this week the muses want you to start on it.  Go on, stop reading and get on it.  

 

Gemini  
Alissa Alfonso White

Eight of Earth – The Muse of Mastery reminds you that you have the skill set for whatever comes at you this week. This muse advises you to get on it and do it.  So, if you had to focus on something focus more on the schedule of when to do it than the how. 

 

Cancerian

Alissa Alfonso Dandelion

Queen of Air – You are in a rut or not able to see the long-term or what is in store going forward.  So, the Muse of Details has come advising to focus on the small and forget for this week about the big.  Take this time to tidy up what’s right in front of you.  

        

Leo

Alissa Alfonso Sea Grass

Seven of Water – The Muse of Daydreams comes when in some way you are letting the reality of now over-rule the hope of tomorrow.  She reminds you that your life’s work is to feel comfortable in shining.

Virgo

*Devil – This week has every potential to be a bit of a roller coaster ride.  The Muse of Distractions advises setting goals early in the week so you can have something to focus on if the tempest arises.  Set your sights and hold the course. And do not let the metaphorical sirens call you off your path. 

 

Libra  
Alissa Alfonso Double Dose Cloudberry

Six of Air – The Muse of Transitions comes when you are going through or need to go through a subtle change.  She advises making just a few adjustments.  These incremental maneuverings can not only change the landscape but even change the outcome.  Steer with a light hand. 

 

Scorpio

Queen of Water – Your second Queen.  Queens rule creation.  Last week the Muse of Senses wanted you to engage your senses to ground you in the abundance of life.

Sagittarius  
Alissa Alfonso Aloe

*Hierophant – The Muse of Structures would like you to examine your everyday schedules.  How are they working out for you? If you need to, this is the week to adjust or redesign what is not working for you.  Your structures should support you not the other way around. 

    

Capricorn  
Alissa Alfonso
Alissa Alfonso Ylang Ylang

Six of Earth – This week will have some twists and turns.  So, the muses advise to watch your reactions.  The Muse of Karma reminds that positivity creates positives and negativity creates negatives.  The challenging aspect with this energy is that karma does not always follow a straight line.    

 

Aquarius  
Alissa Alfonso Passion Flower

Queen of Earth – The Muse of Luxury would like you to indulge in some.  This muse advises the most memorable way is by using your senses.  So, each day indulge at least one of your senses.  Think scrumptious tastes, delectable smells, fuzzy feels, melodic sounds, and gorgeous sights.  

 

Pisces  
Alissa Alfonso Dandelion

Nine of Fire – The Muse of Preparation advises you to spend this week restocking your physical, mental, and spiritual resources.  Yes, winter is coming but not in the “John Snow” sense.  It is just that a new season is coming and the more prepared you are the better you will fare through it.

Tarot and Art-Cast for week of August 27, 2023

Ruth Asawa
Ruth Asawa Desert Planet

The artist this week is Ruth Asawa. She is known for her intricate wire sculptures. However, she also painted, did printmaking and was an activist for the arts and education.  She was a co-founder of Alvardo School Arts Workshop and instrumental in building a public high school for the arts in San Francisco in 1982.

What I find interesting is her daily drawing practice.  Drawing was her way to hone her perception and concentration.  By doing so she heightened her awareness of her surroundings.  In her words: “My curiosity was aroused by the idea of giving structural form to the images in my drawings.  These forms come from observing plants, the spiral shell of a snail, seeing light through insect wings, watching spiders repair their webs in the early morning, and seeing the sun through the droplets of water suspended from the tips of pine needles while watering my garden.”

Your pondering for the week: Asawa said: a child can learn something about colour, about design, and about observing objects in nature. If you do that, you grow into a greater awareness of things around you. Art will make people better, more highly skilled in thinking and improving whatever business one goes into, or whatever occupation. It makes a person broader.” How has art made you broader in life, understanding of self, and/or more attuned to your surroundings?

 

Solar System highlights

The moon begins in Capricorn – so we can jump into the week energized.  On Tuesday it moves into Aquarius – think outside the box.  On Thursday, the moon moves into Pisces – go with the flow. Then on Friday it moves into Aries – a great time to do small projects around the home.

Mercury (communication and knowledge) is now halfway through its 10 weeklong stay in Virgo (analyzation).  So, lessons continue with getting to the point when communicating.  Being clear and concise is the goal.  Mercury is in retrograde through Sept 13th.   Use this time as a pitstop to Reflect, Review and Redo.   Mars (action) moved into Libra (balance) until Oct 12th. Have us purview that our actions justify our goals    While Venus (beauty and harmony) is in Leo until October 8th.  This is a four-month exploration on the question: Does your outward expression of yourself harmonize with who you are within?

Jupiter (growth) is in Taurus until May 2024, an aspect that nurtures the expansion of pleasure in our lives.  The challenge is dipping into overindulgence while investigating this aspect.  Saturn (structures) is in Pisces (flow) until 2026.  Wanting us to make our structures elastic and responsive to change.  The challenge is our boundaries can get too bendy or have gaps, so we need to work on being flexible but resilient.

And lastly Pluto (the hidden, death, wealth, and shadow) is in Capricorn (work, structure, business, and discipline) until January 2024.  So, Pluto is back to playing in the world of business and capitalism. This cycle started in 2008, so whatever you started back then this is the time to tie up any lose ends especially around the house and planets in Capricorn in your natal chart.

 

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

*High Priestess – Your higher self is calling for a consultation.  So, the Muse of Intuition has come to help you integrate this deeper understanding.  One thing this energy tries to convey is confirming that you are here, as you are, for a reason.  You may not see it but this week you just being you is needed in the world.  As Carl Sagan said: “We are made of star stuff” and that is magic in and of itself.

Ace of Earth – Last week the Muse of Stops told you to slow down.   Now the Muse of Flourishing would like you to ponder what area of your life would you like to grow something.  We are still in retrograde season, so seeds can be planted but know they will take time to flourish.

*Magician– The Muse of Manifestation would like you to ponder what you want to manifest in your life.  Now this is not just a list of wants and needs.  You will have to ponder the intentions behind them too.  Remember intentions are the children of your desires and the grandparents of your destiny.

*Moon – The Muse of Subconsciousness would like you to turn your shine inward.  This energy is perfectly in sync with retrograde season’s reflection period.  During this week pay attention to your nightly dreams or subconscious murmurings.  For example, maybe songs pop into your head for no reason.  Go read the lyrics.  This week is full of personal subtext.

 

Virgo

*Chariot – Another high energy Muse to work with this coming year.  The Muse of Momentum would like you to plot out your road map for the coming year. The last two weeks you have worked with the muses reflecting backwards and figuring out what you would like to carry forward especially around the aspect of daily life.  Now this Muse would like you to plan your exploration of the world around you in the coming year.  Think of things like trips, goals, and destinations.

 

Libra

Two of Earth – The Muse of Juggling is here this week.  You all usually balance two things pretty well.  But this Muse would like you to focus on just one thing at a time this week.  This is less about your skill at multi-tasking and more about practicing laser like focusing on one thing so you can enhance it to its fullest.

 

Scorpio
Ruth Asawa

Four of Air – Perfect energy for this retrograde season the Muse of Rest has come to visit.  She advises that this week you work on restoring your body and mind as much as possible.  So, eat well, go to bed early and try to lower your technological input as much as possible.

Ace of Air– Hopefully you all got to do some daydreaming last week, because this week you need to start making plans and gathering more knowledge around how to bring some of those daydreams to fruition.  It is also a great week to read a book, listen to podcasts, watch documentaries, and write.  Any of those activities also help you focus your mind.

 

Pisces
Ruth Asawa

Three of Fire – The Muse of Planning comes when some background work needs to be done before you start on a new venture or plan.  This week investigate and work behind the scenes so you can execute the next part of a project or mission with more ease.

Tarot and Art-Cast for week of June 11, 2023

Yayoi Kusama
You Who are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies, Yayoi Kusama

The artist this week is Yayoi Kusama.  Her art is both joyous and deep.  She works in a variety of forms: painting, sculpture, performance and installations, and the thing most of them have in common is dots.

Her fascination with dots started with a hallucination as a child.  In this vision she was in a vast field of talking flowers.  Each flowerhead was a dot.  As she looked out into this infinity field, she felt as if she was disappearing or as she says “self-obliterating” into the landscape.  By adding these marks and dots, or putting us in multi mirrored installation, she makes herself and us, as viewers, melt into and become part of the work and in a deeper level part of the cosmos.

In her words: “Our Earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos.  Polka dots are a way to infinite.  When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots, we become part of the unity of our environment.”

Your pondering for the week:  Be a polka dot.

 

******Just a heads up I am moving in this month, so I cannot guarantee what June will look like when it comes to the tarotcast. However, I will try to still put up some form of it, though it might be very abbreviated.  Also, I am booked for readings until July 14th.  However, I will have my cards with me during the move for Quick Draws so you can text or email me.  Though realize my response may take over 24 hours for me to get back to you.  And thanks again for reading the tarotcast.

 

Solar System highlights

The moon begins in Aries – good for ideas and moving your body.  On Wednesday it moves into Taurus – great for work and spending time in nature.   Then on Friday through the weekend it is in Gemini – communication and relationships are the focus.

Mercury (communication and knowledge) is in Gemini it’s ruling planet so exchange of knowledge and how you do it is highlighted.  Venus (beauty and harmony) moves into Leo (expressing who you are, light) until October 8th.  This is a four-month exploration on the question: Does your outward expression of yourself harmonize with who you are within?  Mars (action) is also in Leo, so find a few (2-3) tasks that you want to finish by July 10th and put your focus solely on them.  This combo guarantees success.

Jupiter (growth) is in Taurus, an aspect that nurtures expansion of pleasure in our lives.  The challenge is dipping into overindulgence.  So, we have until May 2024 to work on perfecting our balance between work and play.  Then Saturn (structures) is in its two-year stint with Pisces so we can make our structures elastic and responsive to change.  The challenge is our boundaries can get too bendy or have gaps, so we need to work on being flexible but resilient.

And lastly Pluto (the hidden, death, wealth, and shadow) in Capricorn (work, structure, business, and discipline) until January 2024.  So, Pluto is back to playing in the world of business and capitalism. This cycle started in 2008, so whatever you started back then this is the time to tie up any lose ends especially around the house and planets in Capricorn in your natal chart.

 

***Signs with an * it is a big week for you.  Gemini 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. And I have a tip jar if you want to leave a gratuity for the weekly forecasts.

 

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

*Justice – The Muse of Fairness is asking you to defend yourself and/or someone else this week.  Accountability is in question.  But she asks is it fair to have only one person culpable or for one person to take all the credit for a success?  As the say “there is no I in team”.

 

Taurus
Yayoi Kusama first infinity room

Five of Fire – Chaos is in the air this week, so the Muse of Breath is wanting you to take one deep breath each time you encounter the “Mess.”  She also reminds you that some of that chaos is caused by competition.  So, watch for one-upmanship.  And don’t get pulled into playing that game because someone will get hurt.

Three of Fire – Last week the Muse of Motion reminded you that the world awaits your participation. This week the Muse of Venture continues the theme of momentum, but now asks what is next?  Does what you do this week/month/year lead to what you want to do the next?  At least a partial roadmap is needed.

*Judgement – The Muses of Evolution would like you to ponder what are you evolving in your life?  For example:  you want abundance in your life.  What skills or mindset do you need to acquire it.  Or do you want gentleness – what people are you attracting?  How are you being gentle with yourself?  So, start this process by discovering the word that you would like to become part of your evolution.

Nine of Air – The weather patterns for past and future-tripping is stormy this week.  So, the Muse of Worry is here to help you stop overthinking situations.  She reminds you that “worry is like paying a debt you don’t owe.”  So, your assignment is to stay in the here and now.

 

Libra

Queen of Water – The Muse of Fluidity is recommending you go with the flow this week.  Take things as they come, try not to make abrupt changes, and allow what cycles in, to cycle out on its own accord.  If you find this challenging, she advises listening to calm ocean waves and sync your breathing with them.

 

Scorpio
Yayoi Kusama, Flower

Eight of Earth – The Muse of Craft is here to remind you that you are successful.  She would like you to list all that you have mastered.  This includes what might be considered mundane, like brushing your teeth daily, not yelling at someone, or paying your bills on time.  She would like you to realize humaning is hard and even though you have had some challenges you have survived and thrived.   So, keep on keeping on.

 

Sagittarius
Yayoi Kusama, Dots Obsession

Four of Fire – The Muse of Home would like you to spend time in yours.  Not as a punishment but more like a staycation.  Find ways to enjoy your abode.   And if you are away from home, she would like you to buy something for it.  Think – new pillow, a plant, a picture – what would make your home happy and feel appreciated.

 

Capricorn
Yayoi Kusama

*Hanged One – Last week the Muse of Spiritual Purpose wanted you to partake in sacred mysteries.  And now the Muse of Suspension would like you to ponder what you found out.  She suggests turning it inside out, looking at it upside down or the meanings in reverse.  By circumnavigating around, over and under this knowledge, you get a fuller understanding and if you’re lucky an innovation/revelation/revolution.

 

Aquarius
Yayoi Kusama

*Star – The Muse of Inspiration is one of your life energies.  She is helpful by encouraging you and leading you to new ideas.  However, the challenge comes when you almost have too much inspiration/choices.  So, she would like you to focus on one idea that you want to have happen and let that lead your actions for the week.   Also, you get one free wish from the universe.  What is it?   Remember only one, so make it good.

 

Pisces
Yayoi Kusama, Infinity Nets

Eight of Air – The Muse of Bondage shows up when your thoughts are tying you down.   She reminds you these negative thoughts were put there by others and you have adopted them.  But she also prompts you that since you hold the chains you can let them go.
