Tarot and Artcast for Aug 31-Sept 13

August 30, 2025 Nina

The artist highlighted for this Artcast is Jennifer Packer. On the surface one would say, Packer paints portraits and flowers, but how she portrays her images makes the viewer feel more by seeing less. This is embodied in one of her idioms: “I think about images that resist, that attempt to retain their secrets or maintain their composure, that put you to work…” What I love about Packer’s work is her ability to convey more with less. That her portrait can be almost monochromatic, but we walk away with a connection with the person being portrayed. Or perhaps it is the feeling of Packer’s perception about that person’s aura. Either way it is the connection that becomes the centerpieces of her work.

Your pondering: Packer said about her exhibition “Every Shut Eye Ain’t Asleep” at MOCA LA “I hope to make works that suggest how dynamic and complex our lives and relationships are.” On our path of learning how to human we must remember that most of our experiences with others are just glimpses into their life. That fellow commuter may be asleep or maybe just trying to keep the world out so they can keep their feelings in. Ultimately, we need to remember that all the people we meet have stories behind them, all unique but also all dealing with the same range of human emotions. We should never take for granted or overlook that that person across from us – you don’t know them intimately – what they have dealt with – but you have felt what they have felt at some point. One of the great human paradoxes is that we are all unique and the same.

Solar System highlights

We start the week with the moon in Sagittarius – great for exploring but hard to get work moving. On Tuesday the moon moves into Capricorn – now work week begin. Thursday it is in Aquarius– great for innovation and outside of the box thinking. And on Sunday September 7^th we have a full moon in Pisces – this is a dreamy full moon good for creativity. Then Tuesday September 9^th the moon is in Aries – great for getting those dreams out of the ether and into the material plane. On Thursday September 11^th the moon is in Taurus – ground your emotions. Then we begin the weekend with the moon in Gemini – communication becomes the focus.

Mercury is still in Leo until September 3^rd, finishing off our 11-week course in expressing ourselves with the caveat that we don’t shade others’ shine while we spread our own light. Then it moves into Virgo having us work on making our communication efficient and clear. Mars is Scorpio until November 4^th. This aspect is a perfect time to work on our passion projects. Venus is in Leo until September 19^th, 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.

Lastly, Saturn is back in Piscis 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 this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Piscis 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.

Nina

Aries

Body of Earth – You continue working with your structures. The Muse of Slow and Steady rides with you for the next two weeks. This muse counsels you with idioms like “Rome wasn’t built in a day” or “Nature doesn’t hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” Now that Saturn is back in Pisces you can look at the answers to the last tarotcast’s questions of: are your structures laying a solid foundation to your desires and intentions? Are you well-resourced emotional, physically, mentally and spiritually? And begin slowly processing the solutions. This is not a time to fall into the rush of things. Begin the slow process of stocking up resources, fixing the cracks and/or doing a slow deconstruction of what isn’t working.

Taurus

Four of Swords – You continue with the energy of stillness. Where the last two weeks were about listening to your internal ponderings and looking at alternative and innovations. This next period the Muse of Rest is your companion. Where the Muse of Stillness wanted you to process this muse wants you to turn off your mind. She advises to disconnect from technology and information gathering in general. To let your body, mind and spirit take time to rest and restore.

Gemini

Heart of Water – The Muse of a Play is your companion for the coming weeks. This muse shows up when you are taking life too seriously. This energy is about being open to the wonder of a snail crossing the sidewalk, crickets’ songs at night, playing in puddles, doodling, finding animals in the clouds, playing with children and using your imagination. The key with this challenge is not to make everything you do have a goal.

Cancerian

*Fool – The Muse of Possibilities is hanging out with you as you step into September. This is big energy that promotes new beginnings and being open to new opportunities. This can be as simple as reading a book outside your favorite genre or eating at a new restaurant. Or it can be as complex as exploring a new passion, relationship or profession. The key to aligning with this energy is to be open to the new. You don’t have to commit and especially do not bind yourself. This energy is about freeing your spirit and being more curious about the world around you.

Leo

Eight of Earth – Now that your birth month is over it is time to get to work on your new year. The Muse of Mastery is hanging with you for the next two weeks. This Muse advises putting productivity into your daily/weekly practice. The key to working with this energy is seeing how accomplishing the small steps gets you farther then grasping for long term future goals. And seeing mistakes as learning tools to drive your outputs with more efficiency and ease. This muse advises putting gold stars on your calendar for any kind or size of headway you make.

Virgo

*Fool – The Muse of Spontaneity is your companion for the coming weeks. 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. And 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

Eight of Fire – These next two weeks will be filled with information and messages. So much so that you may feel overloaded. The Muse of Messages advise navigating this onslaught by prioritizing the important subjects you need to focus on for just these next two weeks. The lovely thing about this energy is that even if you miss or can’t process the messages they will come around again.

Scorpio

Blessed Are Those Who Mourn, Jennifer Packer

*Hanged One – That past two weeks may have felt or been very tumultuous, luckily you have the Muse of Inertia as a companion for the next couple of weeks. This energy is about slowing down possible even to a standstill. This muse comes when you need to step out of the fray and take personal time to ponder your life. She challenges you not only to look at it logically but also to turn it on its head with what ifs, both positive and negative. Ultimately this contemplation is about rediscovering what is important in your life, creativity and innovations. This muse even suggests putting your head at the bottom of the bed and seeing what dreams are conjured up with this new position.

Sagittarius

Two of Fire – The Muse of In-between hangs with you for the coming weeks. She is the master of the present. By living in the moment with this muse you can gain more clarity on where it is you may like to wander to next. What will your next project, travel, relationship be? What do you want to experience next? Only by being ground in the present can you more confidently move into the future.

Capricorn

Four of Air – The Muse of Restoration is your companion for the next two weeks. You “go-go goats” often don’t get along with this muse, but she logically reminds you, you must be well resourced before you get onto the next project or phase. She recommends unplugging your phone and spending some time resting and restoring your mental, spiritual and physical coffers. Though body rest is important, she acknowledges movement can be restful for some of you. The key is decreasing your goal orientation for this small period so you can hear yourself think.

Aquarius

An exercise in tenderness, Jennifer Packer

Six of Earth – The Muse of Mini-karma comes when you need to watch your p’s & q’s. You can easily step on toes while your head is in the clouds. This muse reminds you to stay present and pay attention to the vibe in the room. By being more present and vigilant you can dole out your natural kindness with more accuracy.

Pisces

*Lovers – The Muse of Relations is your companion for the coming two weeks. This muse usually shows up when it is important for you to put energy in the relationships you want to keep and release the ones you don’t. Love is the ultimate vibe with this muse, but if you are finding difficult to be around a friend, co-worker or companion now is the time to do a deep dive into the why behind it. It could be them, or it could be you.

Tarotcast

Tarot and Artcast for Aug 17-30

August 15, 2025 Nina

The artist highlighted for this Artcast is Carla Accardi. Accardi is one of the major figures of Italian formalism. One of the hallmarks of formalist art theory is the idea that the work of art should be experienced in itself, and not in relation to anything else. Her calligraphic abstractions and artistic explorations utilize the hybridization of geometric and gestural painting. Accardi used both traditional canvas as well as a material called Sicofoil (a transparent plastic) to produce her paintings. Thus having the viewer more clearly see the paint and the gestures of the painter.

Your pondering: Where do you box in your talents? We often try to put science and art into separate and often opposing categories. Being misled by the saying of left versus right brained people. New research using brain scans of mathematicians and artists while they are working has demonstrated that both sides of the brain work in tandem during creative and quantitative tasks alike. As Accardi says about her inspirations for painting: “I was following two approaches: one focused on a scientific biological perspective, with growing and shrinking amoebas. The other approach was more geometric, with work that was sharper…”

Solar System highlights

We start the week with the moon in Gemini – the focus is communication. On Tuesday the moon moves into Cancer – self-care is top priority. On Thursday it is in Leo – your time to shine. It then moves into Virgo on Saturday which is also a new moon – great to start organizing or cleaning projects. Then Tuesday August 26^th the moon is in Libra – focus on relationships and balance. And we finish the two weeks with the moon in Scorpio on Thursday August 28^th– explore your passions.

Mercury is still in Leo until September 3^rd, but no longer retrograde. Finishing off our 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 until the 23^rd, having us work on collaboration and cooperation. Venus is in Cancer when cuddling and beauty rest become the precedent. Not to mention it is hanging with Jupiter, the planet of abundance so doubling the goodness for both planets.

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 1^st for its first round of pumping up the 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 during August for a peek into what the next social cycle, possibilities and places that need changing. 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.

Nina

Aries

*Hierophant – The Muse of Structures visiting you makes perfect sense while Saturn the planet of structures is in your sign. This Muse asks are your structures laying a solid foundation to your desires and intentions? Are you well-resourced emotional, physically, mentally and spiritually? If so, then great use this time to move projects, ideas, intentions forward. But if you are not resourced adequately to build the future you want, take these two weeks to do what is necessary to fill your coffers, reinforce your structures, and put boundaries around time and energy needed for stabilizing your future.

Taurus

*Hanged One – The Muse of Stillness comes for two reasons. One to make you slow down either willing or not. This muse will put roadblocks and detours in front of you to slow your roll. And the why is the second reason. This muse wants you to use this time to ponder alternatives and innovations that can up your game. However, to fully access this muse’s information you need to be quiet, be still, observe instead of doing. I know that Mercury just turned direct and there is an urge to get going, but the muses are suggesting you need more time to percolate.

Gemini

Two of Air – The Muse of a Choice comes when you are ruminating and not totally committing to moving forward. You are hesitating on something. Thinking you do not have enough information to make a secure choice. This muse suggest that the problem is not in the logic of pros and cons but stepping into what your heart already knows is a better path/choice.

Cancerian

Six of Earth – The Muse of Kindness is hanging with you for the next two weeks. This muse comes when you need to evaluate who you are giving to. Giving comes in a variety of forms. It can be through material resources as well as time and/or energy. Is your energy placed where you are optimally utilizing your skill set? Does it align with your morals and values? You don’t have to just direct your attention to big world problems. Pick a part of your local situation/environment that you would like to see improve and then take this time to make it a kinder and more compassionate place.

Leo

Body of Earth – You continue with the energy of building on the material plane. The Muse of Slow and Steady rides with you during the next two weeks. This muse counsels you with idioms like “Rome wasn’t built in a day” or “Nature doesn’t hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” With all this Aries energy and you are just beginning a new birth-year you ‘all may feel the need to rush or use these last days of summer to procrastinate and then rush to finish. This muse advises to do a little something everyday to move your plans forward. The combo of steady work with lounging breaks during the high heat of the day balances out your energy for this period.

Virgo

Five of Earth – The Muse of Poverty Mind-set would like you to work on yours. This muse usually comes when you feel as if you have no resources or they are running low. And this might be very true; however, she reminds you that you also have an amazing community to ask for support from. This can look like venting to a friend, asking your partner to take on some housework, switching up roommate chores, asking around for new job opportunities, bouncing ideas with a mentor figure, or taking out some of your savings for a rainy day because it is raining. You have resources in the wings but first you must admit that you need help and you don’t have to do it alone.

Libra

Ten of Air – The Muse of Drama is working with you these next two weeks. She often comes when your environment is slightly or not so slightly toxic. She suggests handling this in two ways. One walk away from anything even slightly dramatic. Do not engage. Or if you must interact then spiritually put on your toughest armor and use your intuition to navigate these turbulent waters. Logic does not work well in these situations, so if engaging – float like a butterfly and avoid stinging like a bee.

Scorpio

*Tower – The Muse of Destruction comes when something in your life is not working and needs a major over-haul. Take these next two weeks to take inventory on everything that is not working in your life. Literally write a list. And prioritize it from biggest to smallest/easiest to fix. Examples can be as simple as your toilet constantly running or as complex as your job sucking the life out of you. Then take the smallest easiest issue and fix it. And move up list as far as you can. The muses advise start doing this work in the coming weeks because it can cause disruption later if not fixed or at the very least identified.

Sagittarius

Queen of Earth – Finally, you can stop the last four weeks of looking inward, for the Muse of Senses is joining you for the next couple of weeks. She would like you to work with your five sense on the daily to ground yourself in life. Stop and smell the flowers, witness the sunsets, play in water, cuddle, let your tastebuds linger over your favorite foods, listen to music… The muses remind you that you are incarnated in a human body, time to get in touch with the finer parts of being in it.

Capricorn

Five of Fire – The Muse of Games has come to hang with you for the next two weeks. She uses the metaphor of the childhood rope game, double-dutch. First, she reminds you that you have a choice whether you want to play. You can walk away and find another game with other rules or make up your own. But if you do decide to play there are rules and “ropes” that you need to abide by. So, if you decide to participate you must commit to those rules. However, no matter which choice the keys are to listen to your soul/heart and have an exit plan before starting.

Aquarius

*Judgement – The Muse of Evolution would like to work with you for the coming two weeks. Some aspects of your life need an upgrade, transformation or maybe you are about to enter a new life phase. This Muse shows up when you are not clear on what you want to transform into. Think of this time like being a cocoon. A caterpillar partially dissolves itself before it begins the process of recreating the butterfly it is going to be. This muse would like you to envision the future you want to evolve into. And she wants details as well as generalized feelings. Then she would like you to start sloughing off the old, leave what is necessary and begin evolving into the new.

Pisces

Five of Air – All fives herald chaos. This one portends chaos of the mind. The Muse of Ego is here to help with this issue for the coming weeks. This muse advises to check your ego when interacting/reacting. Your mind maybe jumping to conclusions, running old thought patterns or reenacting past scenarios instead of being open to the reality of the now and new. This is not about denying past experiences or well-earned wisdom. This energy is about being open to new paradigms so you can shift your thought patterns toward healthier scenarios.

Tarotcast

Tarot and Artcast for Aug 3-16

August 1, 2025 Nina

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 10^th – daydreaming is the vibe. Then Tuesday August 12^th 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 15^th– rediscover your senses.

Mercury is in Leo until September 3^rd. 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 11^th 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 1^st 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.

Nina

Aries

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

*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

*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

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

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

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

*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

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

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 1/4^th 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

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

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

*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.

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

May 24, 2025 Nina

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 2^nd the moon moves into Virgo – great time to organize and prioritize for the week. On Thursday June 5^th it is in Aries – great time to start a project. And on Saturday June 7^th 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 6^th, for round two of implementing action steps that bring more harmony and beauty into your daily routines. Mars is in Leo until June 17^th, 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.

*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 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. `

Nina

Aries

*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.

Virgo

*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

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

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

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

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.

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

March 29, 2025 Nina

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 6^th the moon moves into Leo – your time to shine. On Wednesday April 9^th 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 6^th, so remember to use this time to recharge, reflect and redo. Venus has also retrograded back to Pisces until April 30^th. 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. `

**** 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.

Nina

Aries

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

*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

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

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

*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

*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

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

*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

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

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

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

*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

March 2, 2025 Nina

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 10^th the moon moves into Leo – your time to shine. On Wednesday the 12^th it moves into Virgo – great for organizing. We have an eclipse on the 14^th lay low if you can. Then on Saturday the 15^th 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.

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. `

**** 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.

Nina

Aries

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

*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

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

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

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

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

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

*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

*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

*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

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

*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.

Tarotcast

Tarot and Art-cast for Jan 19 – Feb 1, 2025

January 17, 2025 Nina

The artist highlighted this tarotart-cast is Bernice Bing. Bing’s medium was paint and her mode was color and tone. Her paintings are big and bold. The viewer can see her fascination of the duality of light and dark, whether that was her landscape paintings or her later explorations of the unconscious world, Zen Buddhism and Chinese calligraphy. Abstraction as a practice gave her the ability to investigate her faceted self. Abstract art emerged primarily because artists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries wanted to break away from the traditional focus on realistically depicting the physical world, instead seeking to express emotions and ideas through color, line, and form, rather than recognizable imagery, leading to a movement that emphasized the inner experience and artistic interpretation over strict representation of reality.

Society and its constructs are often set in place to give us meaning and a sense of community. It is very human characteristic to want to define, categorize, create structures to explain and predict outcomes. But it also can constrain growth. This is the beauty of abstraction when we or aspects don’t fit into just one box we can explore without constraints.

Your pondering: Bing once said about doing art. “It’s like the highest form of art becomes a vehicle, like a mantra.” What is your mantra this year? Can you apply it to take an action to the highest level? Can your action/mantra both hold structure and allow growth?

*to those new subscribers and a reminder – pondering is just a place to flex your critical thinking muscle. You don’t have to find the answer – there can be right or wrong. It is just a place to reflect.

Solar System highlights

We begin with the Moon in Libra – relationships are on the forefront. On Wednesday it moves into Scorpio – time to let something go. Then on Friday it moves into Sagittarius – spend the weekend exploring. On Monday the 27^th it moves into Capricorn – focus on work. Then on Wednesday the 29^th the moon moves into Aquarius – work on innovating something to the next level. And lastly for the weekend the lunation moves into Pisces – daydreaming and intuition is key.

Mercury is still in Capricorn until January 26^th, having us working on being efficient and succent with our conversation. Though be careful about coming off as too bossy or harsh. Motto: “I know things, but I don’t know everything.” The it moves into Aquarius. Mercury is now about socializing and innovating the way we communicate. Mars is retrograde again in Cancer until February 23^rd, 2025. So once again action moves sideways not in a straight line. But this is our second opportunity to find new and better avenues then the obvious or easiest ones.

Venus is now in Pisces until Feb 3^rd. This aspect is lovely – a dreamy haze. Though be careful with this stop and go energy of Mars that you don’t just daydream the month away. There still is action needed but it is a meandering organic evolution of your concepts of beauty and harmony. And Venus will retrograde back into Pisces in the spring. So don’t stress, once things get moving you will have a second chance to come back to this growth.

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. 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 this aspect.

EXTRA

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

*** Since it is a new year and I have some new subscribers, to explain my naming convention and experimentation with card titles. I have switched from using the older suits name (pentacles, cups, swords, and wands) to a more elemental way of reading them which is earth, water, air, and fire. Also, I would like to leave the binary and feudal system of the RWS’s court cards. So, the RWS old version is Page, Knight, Queen, and King is changing to Heart (pure embodiment of element), Body (moving the element), Spirit (living the element) and Mind (taking care of the element). Or at least that is what I am playing with now.

**** I have a tip jar if you want to leave a gratuity.

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

Nina

Aries

Ace of Fire – All aces support beginnings and this ace’s realm is creativity, nature and spirituality. The muses would like you to incorporate into your schedule for the next two weeks a ritual of awe. Awe is defined as a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder. Yes, they want you to push your boundaries just a bit, so it feels a little intimidating, but the rewards are awesome.

Taurus

Six of Earth – The Muse of Giving is challenging you to extend a helping hand. She reminds you that little acts of kindness have a way of reverberating and multiplying in unique ways. So, smile at a stranger, open the door for someone, pay for the coffee order behind you. And since this energy is about both giving and receiving. The bonus is that goodness will meander its way back to you.

Gemini

*Magician – During the next two weeks the Muse of Manifestation would like to work with you. This Muse reminds you that at this time you have all the tools you need; however you have two challenges. One you will need to investigate new ways of using them. And secondly focus, she advises that during these trials that you are clear on the why behind this manifestation. You have the power, but if it is not focus or has a reason behind it, it can get out of hand.

Cancerian

Nine of Fire – The Muse of Resilience comes when you need to set boundaries and firmly ground yourself. She reminds you that you have the strength to do what needs to be done and protect what you have fought hard to safeguard. You can huddle into that crab shell if need be if the waves hit – remember you were built for the give and take of the tides.

Leo

Seven of Air – The Muse of Deception comes when you are not being truthful with yourself. Now for most of you cats this comes out as you are not good enough, unsure or feeling like an impostor. This muse reminds you that overall, this is not true you know things and are good at what you do, but there is a small truth in it. She asks, “do you need to strengthen a skill? Do you need to find more resources? Do you need help? There is a lack though it is not in you innately. The challenge is seeing it as something missing that needs to be found and fixed not as a lack that needs to be hidden or disguised. Time to find out, fess up and fix it.

Virgo

Spirit of Air – For the next two weeks details become vitally important. The Muse of Specifics reminds you that the small stuff actually matters during this period. So read the fine print. When negotiating, do not assume. Read the room before starting conversations. Ask for clarification. This muse is not a harbinger of doom, but she does advise that a “laissez faire” attitude will lead to more chaos then flow.

Libra

Body of Water – The Muse of Flirting is hanging out with you for the next two weeks. She wants you to strengthen your “charm muscles”. Charm is defined as the power or quality of giving delight or arousing admiration. These next two weeks smile at strangers, dole out compliments, and even wink at yourself when you walk by a mirror. You have some “fine” qualities and now is the time to show off and remind yourself how irresistible you can be.

Scorpio

Body of Earth – The Muse of Pace walks with you for the next few weeks. This energy comes when you need to readjust your pace to be appropriate to the work that needs doing. She advises to ground yourself in purpose, the why behind what you do, and examine your surroundings before moving forward. And for some of you this is about moving your physical body in a new way. So, if your old exercise regime is not working now is the perfect time for a change.

Sagittarius

*Fool – The Muse of Journeys is roaming with you for at least the next two weeks. She asks you to strengthen your exploration muscles. Maybe some of you feel stuck or others on the precipice of new but haven’t taken the leap. This energy wants you to jump into the unknown. This can be as simple as taking a different way home or trying a new place to eat lunch. Or as complex as starting a new relationship, project or job. The key with working with this muse is to have faith not in the destination but in the journey itself.

Capricorn

*Tower – Where the last two weeks were about seeding the new, these two weeks are about deconstructing what no longer works. The Muse of Sudden Change forewarns that change is coming and there are parts of your structures that are not retrofitted for this evolution. She advises spending the next two weeks clearing the decks of unnecessary clutter, making sure your resources are stocked, planning how you want to rebuild, etc… This energy is not about fear but about preparation, so when change happens you can mitigate the chaos around it.

Aquarius

Heart of Earth – The Muse of Study is hanging with you for the coming weeks. She shows up when you need to learn a new skill. Now the key is putting energy into learning something that you actually want to do or grow. She asks what do you need to know that will ground you in your purpose? And she reminds you not to get too philosophical with this question. This should be fairly simple and practical. Like learning how to file you own taxes, fix a squeaky door, keep your plants alive….

Pisces

*Moon – The Muse of Emotional Literacy is hanging out with you these coming weeks. She comes when emotional tides are high, and you need to work on navigating them. The issue with you, fishy-folk is that you can be very susceptible to the influence of others’ emotions. So, your work for the coming weeks is to decipher what you are feeling and what you are picking up from someone else. However, this muse does remind you that other people’s emotions can reflect areas needed for your personal healing. If you still feel in the dark, an exercise she suggests is asking your subconscious for guidance before you go to sleep. Dreams are gateways to information during this time.
