Tarot & Energy Update this week: 2/3/25

This week’s energy brings fresh starts and exciting possibilities! With Venus entering Aries on the 4th, she infuses our lives with confidence and passion, especially in the areas pertaining to love, creativity, and personal pursuits. It’s the perfect time to take bold steps toward what (or who) lights you up.

Jupiter stationing direct in Gemini that same day helps conversations flow more easily, making it a great time to connect, share ideas, and entertain new perspectives. A surprise opportunity may pop up when you least expect it—go with the flow and see where it leads (just remember to stay safe and use common sense, of course).

Later in the week, Neptune’s alignment with the North Node in Pisces on February 7th turns up the volume on our intuition, prophetic dreams, and synchronicities. This ethereal aspect has us drifting into uncharted waters, testing the integrity of our connection to the divine. If certain signs keep appearing—a recurring thought, repeating numbers, an image, or an uncanny coincidence—don’t brush them off. If your intuition is picking up on these subtle signs, trust they hold meaning or a message for you.

That said, there’s another side to this energy—Neptune is the planet of illusions and dreams, and in Pisces, this aspect is even more amplified. Remember, not everything may be as it seems. When our intuition is heightened, so is the potential for confusion, escapism, or wishful thinking. If you feel as if you are floating on a cloud this week, this is your reminder to stay grounded and discerning—dreams are powerful motivators, but they need a practical plan to manifest into reality. Stay inspired my beautiful dreamer, but look before you leap.

Tarot Card Advice: The Page of Cups (Upright)

The whimsical Page of Cups often brings messages of good news, so stay open and curious this week—something delightful may be waiting for you just around the corner! I can’t help but smile at his expression of surprise as he finds a fish in his cup. It’s a playful reminder that magic doesn’t always come in grand, sweeping gestures; sometimes, it’s the little moments that catch us off guard. A small synchronicity that makes you pause is proof that magic is always around you. You only need to be willing to see it.

Have a great week! ❤

Full Moon in Cancer 1/13/25

The full moon is in the sign of Cancer on 1/13/25

The Full Moon in Cancer on January 13th, 2025, is an emotional powerhouse! With the Moon in its home sign of Cancer, emotions rise to the surface, and its conjunction with fiery Mars amplifies feelings of urgency and intensity. This “hot water” dynamic stirs the pot (or cauldron) of your innermost feelings, making it almost impossible to ignore what’s bubbling up. While this energy can offer profound emotional insights and clarity, it’s essential to be mindful of your words and actions this week!

If something comes up which upsets or triggers you, take a deep breath and ask yourself: Are you about to RESPOND from a place of autonomy and self-awareness, or are you REACTING from a place of past pain or defensiveness?

This Full Moon invites you to recognize your emotions as important signals that something in your life may need attention or a change. However, acting impulsively when emotions are running high rarely leads to a positive outcome. Instead, alchemize this raw, intense energy by transforming it into purposeful, authentic action. By directing your emotions with intention, you can create meaningful changes that benefit both yourself and those you care about.

Below is a three-card tarot/oracle spread designed to help you both constructively process your emotions and make empowered decisions this week under the intense energy of this Full Moon. You can also use this spread with other divination methods and/or as journaling prompts.

New Moon in Taurus 5/7/24: Six of Pentacles

The Six of Pentacles tarot card from the Rider Waite Smith deck

The Taurus new moon this week invites you to be kind, and to pursue opportunities that enhance your overall long-term stability.

The tarot card associated with this transit is the six of pentacles. A few key words for this card are generosity, investment and reciprocity.

This is an interesting card as depending on the situation, you may be the one giving or receiving. For those that are doing well, you are reminded to appreciate what you have and to offer assistance to others or a good cause when you are able. For those that are going through rough times, the six of pentacles upright in a reading is an auspicious sign that your luck is about to change for the better. 😊

What goes around comes around and the karmic wheel of life is perpetually in motion. More often than not, an act of kindness, no matter how small, circles back to its source bringing a blessing with it at a later date. If you are presented with an opportunity to do a good deed that is feasible for you in the next two weeks, consider it.

We are all capable of giving in ways that cost very little. Hold the door for someone, offer a listening ear, give someone a compliment, thumbs up a friend’s post and/or write a review for their business, let someone in front of you in line, tip an extra dollar, etc. You get the idea.

On the flip side, the six of pentacles card invites you to examine situations where you may be over-extending your resources to the point of tipping your own scale out of balance. You should not have to deplete yourself to satisfy or help others.

If the above paragraph resonates with you, the new moon in Taurus encourages you to recognize your inherent value as you prioritize self-care as well as your own sustainability. Invest wisely. Not just financially, but also when it comes to your well-being and happiness.

Have a great week! ❤️

Virgo Full Moon & Saturn moves into Pisces: A moment of clarity.

Nine of Cups & Nine of Pentacles from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

This week we have the full moon in the sign of Virgo and Saturn changing signs into Pisces! Don’t be surprised if some changes come about in your life! Reconciliations, breakups, new relationships, as well as making the decision to change jobs, move, start a new health regime, start a new endeavor, or end one. Anything is possible!

The sun in Pisces (nine of cups) and the moon in Virgo (nine of pentacles) has us reassessing important areas of our life wherein we have known for a while that a change is needed. Emotional fulfilment, one’s spiritual path, self-worth and independence may be a few themes that come to light. You may have an eye-opening epiphany or a truth that comes out, that literally stops you in your tracks. As you decide on whether or not if this road is still the one that you want to be on. Whether it is or is not, this transit serves as a reality check that gives you the motivation to do what is best for you.

This particular transit, has an air of endings, the future and maturity. It’s asking us to take stock of where we’ve been and where we are going from here. Its almost the spring season. Time once again to cultivate our gardens. This week, the universe is asking us to evaluate the quality of the soil with fresh eyes. Do you plant your seeds again here? In the same spot as last year? Or is it time to cultivate some new soil?

Have a great week everyone! ❤️

Weekly tarot message 2/27/23: Making progress, getting it done.

Knight of Pentacles, The Emperor & Queen of Swords from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

Weekly tarot message 2/27/23:

Making progress, getting it done.

Knight of Pentacles has his eye on the prize and urges his faithful steed forward each day as he keeps his future goal ever present in his mind’s eye. As an earth element card, the Knight of Pentacles moves the slowest, as it represents the physical realm. Progress here takes time and action on your part. What steps do you need to take this week to make progress on a project or goal? You may have gone off track. Is it time for a realignment?

The Emperor is smack dab in the middle of this reading! He represents the sign of Aries. Controlled, masculine fire. This is my discipline and strategy card. Adding structure to your daily routine would be helpful. Cut out distractions and be aware of “time bandits” that sap your focus and energy. Be firm and stick to it when setting personal boundaries. Next month, the sun moves into Aries on the 21st. This could be a time marker for some of you. Take care of those small details now before the spring season kicks in!

The Queen of Swords as the final card is not one to be trifled with! She does not have time for excuses! She’s my “self-made” Queen. Smart and to the point, she holds us accountable for our own thoughts and actions. She made it and so can you! Be prepared for some tough love. See the truth for what it is and own up to your responsibilities. It may be time for a conversation. Then you will know exactly where you stand and what needs to be done. Both the Emperor and The Queen of Swords can also indicate that consulting with a professional advisor, a successful older person or mentor may be helpful.

Have a great week!

Leo full moon 2/5/23. Solar plexus activation. Tarot card: Six of Wands

The Six of Wands from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

First, let’s talk a little bit about the symbolism of this transit. The numerology is interesting. It occurs on the 5th day of the month. As well when one adds up the entire date 2+5+2+0+2+3 = 14. It also breaks down to the number 5. The sign of Leo rules the 5th house on the zodiac wheel. The fifth house relates to joy, children, self-expression, confidence, drama, romance and overall good times. It’s planetary ruler is the sun. Its archetype is the majestic lion.

All I’m going to say here is, get ready! The lion does NOT sleep tonight!

This energetic Leo full moon is activating our solar plexus chakra big time to give us an extra boost to reframe areas of our life that are overdue for a reboot. The corresponding tarot card is the six of wands. In this card, we see someone in the spotlight. This person is a winner and is ready to take on the next challenge. It can denote achieving a goal, overcoming obstacles, as well as future success. There is also an element of respect in this card. As full moons often shed light on shadow areas in our life, you may find that this transit highlights situations and people that may not be or no longer be suitable for your highest good.

Are you respected and “seen” at work, in your relationships, friendships, etc.? Do you surround yourself with people and places that support your well-being? Do your friends and family cheer for you when you win? Or not so much? Where in your life do you feel confident, happy, sexy. And in what areas of your life do you feel overlooked, disrespected, closed-off or in general is not moving in the direction that you want it to?

After the full moon, it will enter its waning phase. Banishing, clearing, cleansing, de-clutter are some keywords for the waning moon. Often, we yearn for change, but our lives are so busy and cluttered, that we don’t have room for anything else to come in. I would also recommend an aura clearing bath, as well as energetically cleansing one’s personal space to “clear out” stagnant energies that may be lingering. If you would like advice on how to do this that is personalized for your situation, contact me.

When it comes to Leo, it’s all about heart. It has been recently scientifically proven that the heart has it’s own “consciousness”. Pay attention to what your heart and body is telling you. Stress and painful emotions often manifest as sensations in the chest area. The heart doesn’t lie. Be kind but honest with yourself. What needs to go or what do you need to limit your exposure to, in order for you to be happier and healthier? The Leo Moon is not complicated. It really is as simple as that.

Leo, as I mentioned above, also corresponds to children. And a Leo moon further amplifies this energy. Spending time with young ones has a way of bringing out our silly side. We laugh and play alongside them. Honestly, is there anything more joyful than a child’s smile? Spend time with kids if you can or nurture your own inner child by engaging in a youthful activity or watching funny, cute videos online. If you are trying to conceive, this week leading up to the full moon may prove favorable for you.

Crystal suggestions: Amber, citrine, malachite, carnelian, clear quartz, green jade, moonstone, tigers eye, sunstone

Have a great week! ❤️

This week: New Moon in Aquarius, Ace of Wands, Tigers Eye: Yes!

Ace of Wands from the Rider Waite tarot deck & Tiger’s Eye crystal card

This Saturday, we have the first new moon of 2023 in the sign of progressive Aquarius. New moons mark the beginning of a new cycle. I find it interesting that the tarot card that came out for this week is the Ace of Wands and the crystal card is Tiger’s Eye. All the Aces in the tarot indicate new beginnings and potential. And both the Ace of Wands and the tigers eye crystal carry the frequencies of courage, fire, clarity, self-sovereignty, and faith in oneself. With this dynamic trio working together, you may be feeling inspired to make some positive changes or start something new this week!

There’s a saying that five seconds of courage can change your life. This may be your message to initiate a plan of action. The Ace of Wands upright is a “yes”. Weigh your options carefully of course. But don’t let self-doubt, fear or overthinking stand in the way of a good opportunity!

Tigers eye is an “all purpose” crystal that assists with psychic clarity, courage, protection, and helps one to channel their personal power in a constructive manner. It is also aids in lifting one’s mood, while at the same time, calms an overactive mind. Tigers eye carries a mid-level vibration which is well-tolerated by even very sensitive empaths. Try carrying a tigers eye tumbled stone or wear a bracelet or pendant this week to connect with this powerful, yet gentle, stone as you embark on your exciting new quest!

Have a great week everyone! ~Christine ❤️♒️🔥

Friday the 13th unlucky? Not!

Friday the 13th belongs to the goddess!

Friday the 13th unlucky? A few thoughts…

Friday, is the day of the Goddess! Corresponding to the Goddess Freya and ruled by the planet Venus, this day is a powerful time to set intentions and honor the gifts that the Goddess bestows upon us (creativity, sensuality, fertility, health, love, wisdom, beauty, the cycle of life/death/rebirth & magic).

Number 13 corresponds to the Death card in the tarot. This card is symbolic of the cycle of death and rebirth. Speaking of cycles, interestingly enough, number 13, also corresponds to the average number of monthly cycles a woman has during the year.

The number 13 adds up the number 4 which carries the energy of stability. And how does the Goddess with her never-ending, tumultuous cycles provide stability? By being the vessel from which all life on the planet springs forth from. The Goddess ensures the continuance of the cycle of life on this planet. No matter what happens, the earth continues to turn, and life goes on.

I hope this post was helpful in offering you a different perspective!
