The planets: Just a heads-up Mercury is retrograde until February 18th. People are often fearful of this planet’s retrograde period. Though it is not the best time to sign contracts, buy things that have electronic components or start something new. And we need to be careful how we communicate and timing in general. This is a great time to Review, Reflect and Revise.
Now to this week’s artist, Shelley Muzylowski. Muzylowski is a glass artist. You would not know it from her pieces for they look like they are sculpted in clay instead of molten glass and fire. The movement of her work, the emotions they convey, and the depth of color is extraordinary. Muzylowski subjects are animals. The viewer can see she pulls inspiration from a wide variety of cultures, history, and art mediums. Though realistic in form her work seems to connect to the spiritual realm. They are creations of myth, magic, and storytelling.
To genuinely appreciate this art form. There is a show on Netflix called Blown Away. It will show you how much physical work in combination with artistry that this art form requires. Most glassblowers have to do their work with assistants. To obtain this level of art the artists and assistants must be in sync. Dependent on precise communication while also aware of each other’s nuances, it is like a dance. This art form reminds us that we do not do our work alone. We rely on others to help us create, live, and express our stories.
Light and Love

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Aquarius this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Leo 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
Justice – Justice is defined as just behavior or treatment. Someone is not aligned with their integrity. The challenge is this could also include you. Use Mercury’s retro-energy to review how you are treating people as well as how you are being treated. Take this week to make sure you are aligned with your truth and is it holistically fair before you sentence or censor others… or yourself.
Taurus
Two of Coins – Last week, The Muse of Integrity asked you to look for imbalance picking only two issues to rebalance. You get another week to work on this. However, if you now can confidently balance those two issues, you can add more. This energy advises to add one at a time. And if something feels off or you drop the ball, you have taken on one too many. Subtract and try again.
Gemini
Ace of Swords – Of course you Gemini’s can navigate this Mercury retrograde and start something new. The challenge is to make sure this new idea is an innovation and not a repeat of old thought patterns dressed in new clothes. The key is this aligns with a new emerging truth. So supple thinking is required.
Cancer
Queen of Wands – Last week the muses had you tying up loose ends. Now, The Muse of Inspiration is here to help you imagine and innovate what is next. This week commune with the ethers and nature to clear your mind and connect with the conduit of the divine. Look for synchronicities and serendipitous to help you find the “easter eggs.”
Leo
Knight of Swords – This week you will need to slow your roll. The energy around you is ginchy. This is that feeling when you are tired but also feel as if you should run or you are easily agitated. So, the best course is to slow down, take deep breathes and be aware of your surroundings before leaping. And as always with this energy on a practical level, watch your appendages and wear comfortable shoes. This energy tends to have you absent mindedly cut your fingers, twist your ankles, and stub your toes.
Virgo
Seven of Coins– This week is all about getting things done. It is a great week to check things off your to-do list, tackle that pile of paperwork, get your taxes done early, clean your inbox, etc.… Yes, this is the week to get up early and work. If you do this, the fruits of your labor will be bountiful. Not to mention raise your energy level and mental state.
Libra
Knight of Coins – The Muse of Pace is here. She comes when you are not in sync with how you like to work. There is something off kilter that is interfering with your flow. Are you getting enough sleep? Eating well? Moving enough or too much? Is your desk unorganized? Is your chair making your back hurt? This is the week to fix your material plane to help you mental and emotional one.
Scorpio
Six of Swords – The Muse of Transitions is knocking. She is inviting you on a cerebral trip, a step up and out in thinking. Certain thought patterns need to transmute, and in doing so you will find that some thought patterns are now obsolete. This is a time to simplify and begin again.
Sagittarius
Six of Wands – This is a good week. Small jewels of luck and synchronicities line up for you. Pay attention to these gems of inspiration, they are pats on the backs from the universe. Telling you that you are doing good in the areas where you find these small treasures.
Capricorn
Two of Swords – The energy this week is about making decisions; however, there is a twist. The decision is not as important as the path this decision has you taking. This muse asks you to tune into your heart and your truths. Making sure the route you take to your goals aligns with how you want to feel and your integrity.
Aquarius
King of Coins – I hope you rested last week because its back to work. Time to put energy into your material plane ie: work, home, garden. This muse is here to help you build whatever you want short or long term, and aids those projects to increase your future abundance. However, if you find a block, then it is not the time to force a project forward. This energy paves paths of ease for some work and puts up walls for things that are not timed correctly.
Pisces
Four of Wands – The Muse of the Hearth and Home has come to hang. This is a great week to put time into your home and family (adopted or born with). Make your abode more comfortable and then bring out the board games and hot chocolate. Connect anyway you can to your inner community and solidify the foundation of your relationships with care and comfort.
Two of Swords – The energy this week advises now is the time to make some decisions. The challenge is that it feels like you are surrounded by mists of uncertainty. Sadly, it is not going to get any better this week and stagnation might become an overlying issue. So, this muse advises just make a choice left or right, move. You can always retrace your steps or continue. Have faith in yourself. 
*Tower – The Muse of the Tower is knocking, and you need to listen to her. Something(s) is not working in your life. This Muse of Kali is here to help you identify it. What have you been trying that is not working because it is too dogmatic, strict, or rigid? The challenge is you cannot blame this on others or your environment. This is about how you are coming at something, and if you continue to go on this path, the Tower will shake your world to make the change for you. Get ahead of this potential seismic downfall, be flexible, open and change things up. 
Two of Swords – Last week the Muse of Seclusion had you contemplating what needs to shift for the eclipsed full moon in your sign on November 30th. I hope you did your homework because this week is primed for making decisions to start on the path of 2021 before the rest of the signs. If you did your work, then then the challenge of choosing will come easily. If you didn’t, you’ll have to make a leap of faith. For the lesson either way is realizing the movement is more important than which direction you are heading. 
Knight of Cups – The energy this week is calling on your superpower of being in touch with your emotions. If you can channel them into your creative work, you will gallop into this week. The challenge is you will be wearing your heart on your sleeve, but no worries your emotions are like the rain – play in their puddles. 
Four of Wands – The energy this week centers in your home. This is a great week to make your abode comfier, inviting, and/or flexible. This can look as simple as getting some good smelling candles, fresh flowers, a plant, getting that big TV you have been wanting or making an area a tech free zone. Make your lair a place that makes you purr when you come home. 
Four of Swords – This is a great week to find moments to relax. Your “well” as been drained and this is the week to find space and time to unwind and pay a bit more attention to your health. Take walks in nature, turn off the tech for half a day, or mediate. The challenge is putting your thoughts down for a bit. Your video/song this week: 
Seven of Swords – Pay attention to your gut instincts and not your head this week. Everything is not exactly as it seems. There are some hidden objectives, but it is not for you to ferret it out. A better course of action is to avoid it. Or if you must interact follow your instincts instead of trying to follow or find logic in it. 
Two of Cups – Relationships are the focus this week. Make time to spend with your people. You need to sort your emotions out and have a good laugh. The only challenge is making sure you pick your companies that fill your cups as equally as you do theirs.

You have all year to manifest so no rush but use the energy this week to start setting up your goals. 
Nine of Cups – The energy to work with this week is contentment. As a sign goes you do best if you have something to do. You rest in the flow of work. The challenge is you also need to find places of contentment in space, time, and the stillness within the doing and not doing. For it is one in the same. 
*Wheel – The Muse this week has left breadcrumbs of fate for you to follow. Life has its ups and downs, as signs goes you all can see this very well. The challenge is not being too grounded nor too head in the clouds to see these signs. So, this muse suggests that you spend this time getting in touch with how you want to feel. Your feelings will guide you like a fairy dust trail. Do not worry the Willow Wisps will not lead you into the bog, this time. 
Knight of Wands – The energy to seek out this week is inspiration and awe. You are needing a recharge. Your spark of passion needs some fuel to keep the fire lit. Listen to music, dance, experience art, and/or be in nature. Do activities that make you zing. 
Nine of Wands – Boundary setting is the issue this week. To get things done and to find time to rest you are going to have to adhere to well set rules and regulations. Planning is also key. This is not a week to go with the flow. Orderliness is imperative.
*Chariot – Time to harness your emotions and start creating momentum. The places that you have once floundered are no longer a hindrance, for you have learned from your mistakes. What lays before you is the known. Now you have the experience to avoid the potholes on your path. So get a move on this week. Use this Mars energy to your advantage and get a head start on 2021. Your tale: The Three Princess of Whiteland, Norway.
*Tower – This is the second time you got the Tower this year. What have you not dealt with that is not working in your life? If this is the same thing that was not right back in May, get it fixed now because the third time around tends destroy to create movement. If you dealt with the May issue, then look for small cracks in your foundations. These usually have to do with the material plane, like not having a solid exercise regime, not liking your job, not have 6 months of savings or still in debt. You might need to make some sacrifices to mortar up the holes, but it is worth it in the end. Your tale: Rapunzel, Germany.
