Emma Kunz was a healer and a reluctant artist. She created these drawings by a process she called radiesthesia. She used large pieces of graph paper, she would meditate visualizing a series of dots and lines and then with her pendulum beginning to draw the patterns with colored crayons and pencil. Her drawings were not made as an artistic endeavor but to be used for medicinal purposes. She often used them in her healing sessions. Placing them between her and her patient as they visually walked through the designs.
Though now her work is seen as outsider minimalist art and has been displayed in galleries. Her main body of work resides in a museum in Wurenlos, Germany. She described her creative process as follows: Shape and form expressed as measurement, rhythm, symbol and transformation of figure and principle.

Aries
Three of Swords – Sorrow is in the air this week. This is the ups and downs of being human. However, this kind of sadness brings with it an opportunity for forgiveness and a step to begin moving on. There are three things to learn with this suffering. Learn them and a begin the journey anew feeling lighter and enlightened.
Taurus
Six of Swords – You have just gone through a rite of passage. However, the path still is in a misty haze but now is the time continue on. Don’t get stuck in the miasma. To move forward the energy suggests simplification. Even though the future is not so easily seen, the lighter your load- the simpler the solutions -the easier your journey.
Gemini
Five of Swords – The aftermath of this past Mercury in retrograde still has its tendrils of chaos in your communication land. The energy this week is still full of disagreements and concealment. The best way to disengage with this dynamism is surrender and compromise. The disputes are really about ego, resentment and not worth your time.
Cancer
Ace of Swords – The energy in the beginning of this week has a sharp tone to it as we navigate out of this mercury retrograde. This can lead to confusion and possible antagonism. Situations cannot be dealt with by old ways of communicating. Look for new ideas and ways to connect to bring clarity and eventually a breakthrough.
Leo
*The Tower – The energy this week is about shaking things up. Pay attention. There are some cracks in your foundation, and they need to be tended to. This can look as simple as eating better, getting 8 hours of sleep, or being more efficient with your time because you are overly critical or trying to fit into “normal” work hours. To build stronger does not always mean with stagnate forces like brick and concrete, bamboo is strong and flexible. To go through an earthquake buildings are now being built on springs. Find new ways to shore up your foundations that are more innovative and adaptable. For instance, work two days a week for 12 hours, 2 for 8 hours and then you can fit in a 3-day weekend or make a protein packed smoothie for that forgotten meal.
Virgo
Five of Cups – This week’s energy has an air of regret and pessimism to it. The key to navigating this energy is realizing you can help solve the world’s problems by solving the ones in front of you first. Clean up some mess around you and be grateful for what you have that is not in disarray. The lesson is you seeing the left-over cups are half full and ready to be filled to the brim.
Libra
Seven of Cups – When was the last time you laid around just daydreaming- letting your imagination flow? The energy this week is allowing and advising you to do just that. Your challenge is letting yourself dream big enough. To help with this process, instead of thinking of dreams as illusions and fantasy, see them as seeds spreading out in the wind planting mystery plants of unknown bounty.
Scorpio
Eight of Swords – The energy this week highlights where you are being wronged. Whether this is self-affliction or allowing others to entrap you, this is the time for self-compassion about you allowing the harassment and strength to walk away from it without engaging in anger. The situation is like a Chinese Finger trap the more you struggle the more you are entrapped, but if you disengage in the fight you can get out of the bindings of it.
Sagittarius
Two of Swords – Once Mercury goes out of retrograde on the 9th or 10th depending on where you are at, it will be time to make some choices. The challenge is thinking that the choice will solve the problem. However, this week is about moving out of stagnation and avoidance and walking into the journey of discovery.
Capricorn
Knight of Wands – This week’s energy is all about adventure. Take to the road, try new places, things to eat, look around for inspiration outside your normal environment. The more you step out of the mundane the more you will get in touch with your passion, your joie de vie.
Aquarius
Queen of Swords – Last week change was in the air, but it was and is slow in coming. You were advised to take time to weed and till your soul’s soil. Clearing blocks from your forward moment so the Universe has a clearer path to create the change that you are wanting and waiting for. Well, lucky you this week’s energy gives you unbiased thoughts, clearer solutions and honest ideas to do just that. The challenge is that it can come from not only your subconscious (look to your day and night dreams for clues), but it also can come from outside sources. So, ears on and mind open Aquarius. Focus on details not the big picture.
Pisces
*Lovers – You are at a 
crossroads in a relationship. The energy around this week is making choices that involve, self-love, commitment and/or separation. To truly be harmonious in a relationship you must love yourself first and then work on being your best self. This is also true of the other person in the relationship. But they have free will and it is their responsibility alone to do that growth. So, this energy reminds you that relationships are work and advises love yourself and the other enough to see that creation and growth can happen, but it is up to both of you to decide whether that is together or apart.
May light be on you, around you, and within you,
Nina
Four of Swords – The energy this week is all about rest and healing. This energy warns you that your immune system, soul and mind needs rest. Take time to pull away from the maddening crowd (this includes social media) and relax.
Poetry has its own way of inspiring visuals. This week I am adding to your sign’s forecast a line from the poem To a Dark Girl (1927) by Gwendolyn Bennett. To read the whole poem just read the first line in bold for each sign.
Four of Swords – This week rest is needed. Your immune system is weak and only rest and a bit of self-coddling will set it right. Go to bed early, eat well, and try to find time to relax into a thoughtless stupor.
Six of Coins – Karma is the resonation this week. What you do for others and to others comes back three-fold. The trick with this card is the payback good or bad is unpredictable in timing and does not always come from the source it was given to. Your song: 
Ten of Coins – Get things off your to-do list and finish up projects that have been around for a while. This week’s energy is about work and completion, so don’t start anything new. Now is the time to clear your plate of the old so the new has room to grow.
Seven of Wands – Last week, the energy was about experimentation with the tools and skills you already have in your arsenal. Creating without purpose and exploring what comes from it. This week to continue doing that, you are going to need to defend your rights to experiment, create and explore. Stand up for yourself. Your mantra: I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can’t ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won’t stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you’d be surprised that people say ‘Can I be of help? – Maya Angelou
Ace of Wands – This week you get to switch gears from all work to the act of creation. Inspiration and ambition is lite by your passion. This is a great week to start new projects, play in nature, and inspire your spirit. Use your natural fiery temperament to ignite what is listless and dark. Your song: 
King of Wands – After last week’s chaos you are stronger and wiser which helps this week’s energy: public relations. This is a great week to meet and greet, send out resumes, beef up your social media page, and be as charming as you can be. You have Pied Piper energy around you. The challenge is figuring out where you want to lead your throngs.
Four of Coins – Resource stability is the energy this week. Great time to start doing your taxes, contributing or starting a savings account or IRA, and/or scheduling in “me-time” or more family time. The challenge is feeling as if you need to do it for fear of losing resources, time, money or space. However, this energy is really about saving in case of, so you don’t have to spend precious time worrying about a lack of those resources in the future.
*Fool – Adventure and new beginnings are the energies to work with this week. Itch feet? Go wandering. Bored? Partake in something you have never done. Melancholy? Watch silly movies all week. Feeling old? Go swing on a swing set or have a snowball fight. Feeling naïve? Go learn something new. This week newness is the key to rekindling your faith and joy of life.
*Hermit – This week’s energy is getting some much-needed alone time. You need space and perspective. And the only way you are going to find it is setting up a sacred space and time. It would be great if you could do a little retreat from your life. But if you can’t do that. This can be done simple by taking the long way home, taking the bus instead of your car, going on silly errands solo, turning off your phone for 2 hours, or eating outside for lunch. The key to obtaining this is telling people that you are turning off your phone from 2-3 hours each day, going to be late coming home, or gone for the week. Because if people don’t see your proverbial do not disturb sign on the window, they will bug you to find out why.
Knight of Wands – Ok I warned you. I hope you rested last week because the energy this week is getting on your horse and riding it the next destination and doing it with some flair. First this energy says you are in the right space at the right time all this week, if you can work with this fiery energy. You must willfully reign in your aspirations and steer them to your desired goals without extinguishing your passion.
Knight of Pentacles – Last week’s energy was about saying yes to opportunities coming at you from unexpected places and learning that saying yes doesn’t mean forever. This energy likes you to try out new things so you can find what best fits the new you. This week’s energy continues the theme of moving forward into new worlds. However, staying open is now focusing down to only areas of work, how you make your money and/or hands-on projects. This is a great time to work on to-do lists and to get far with any plans, while being open to new input. The challenge this week is working this as a marathon not a series of sprints. So, hydrate and feed yourself at regular intervals.
Queen of Swords – Details are the focus this week. This energy is best utilized by examining the specifics of situations and boning up on your communication skills. If you come up to a block, asking questions, deep listening and overall communication will lead you out of any maze.
Nine of Cups – Last week, the Hanged Man advised you to look at situations with a different perspective. Taking time for contemplation with an emphasis of out-side the box thinking. This energy of out of the box thinking is needed this week, to explore the concept and your actions around your feelings on contentment.
Five of Coins – Chaotic energy is prevalent this week. Be careful this does not send your head spinning into loss and feeling as if you have scant resources. Your read on this energy is right; it is not a week to invest into new projects. So the challenge is realizing that you are not alone, nor lost, nor poor. Your wealth and help lies in the family, friends and/or the community at large.
Queen of Pentacles – Last week, the energy was about creating harmony while still maintaining a duality in your nature and/or with others. Your challenge is connecting with the ones you love without losing either’s selfhoods, and/or harmonizing your own masculine and feminine energy. This process will help you with this week’s energy of being a provider and comforter. The challenge in being both is having a solid foundation built on your own needs and allow others to maintain their freedom while you nurture theirs.
Page of Swords – The energy this week is about information lying hidden. The goal this week is finding truths that are hidden or disguised. Start asking subtle but leading questions to the answers you want to find. The challenge is hearing what is said and then discerning which avenue to take to discover the information at its fullest. The truth is there but you are going to have to dig for it.
Four of Swords – Last week your energy work was gardening and growth. Create and design. Plant and nurture. Tend and weed. And finally, balance the work with the pleasures that you have reaped from that work. That last task is extended to this week. Your challenge is slowing your roll and being still. Learning how to rest is a needed skill to practice this week. This is a big year for Capricorns. So, with all that cosmic activity you will be dealing with (from January 2020 until December 2020), this is the only week with Mercury in your sign that your personal needs are easily heard. After the this your purpose and will take front stage. So, I must repeat take this week to relax, talk and physically listen to your body and soul.
World – This energy shows up when opportunities are at your doorstep to take and other doors can be closed. This is a great time to start something new. To say yes to things that you wouldn’t normally say yes to. The challenge around this card is feeling as if you say yes means that you can’t back out of it, and/or you might close doors you are not ready to. Oh contre mon ami. This energy likes you to try out new things so you can find what best fits the new you. So any closed door can be open again, but you might find the new landscape better fits who you are now.
