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!

Tarot cards Nine of Swords, Nine of Wands for the Full Moon in Gemini
As I look at these cards today for this transit, I sense a lot of collective pent-up internal energy. The Gemini moon represented by the nine of swords, has us all up in our head! And the Sun in the sign of Sagittarius, represented by the nine of wands, has us battle weary, but holding strong, as we are in the final month of 2022. Full Moons have a strong effect on us and the planet, as they intensify energy. Add the hustle and bustle of the holidays to the mix, and we have quite a dynamic smoothie whirling in the blender!
The advice card that came out is #53 use your hands. Ground some of this energy by getting out of your head and into your physical experience this week! Exercise, get out in nature, walk, run, do yoga, cook, bake, make crafts, spend time with your partner, etc. Make lists to help organize your thoughts. Try to schedule your day to focus your intentions & add structure.
It is also important to understand that December, collectively, is the time of the year where there are interruptions and delays due to the holidays. December as well as full moons, are also when cycles are generally finishing up. Make peace with the process and try to work with the tide instead of against it. Some arrangements, resolutions or important decisions may be best deferred to 2023.
Gemini is a dynamic energy that is quick witted, active, social and highly adaptable. This is not one of those “deep thoughts” kind of full moon. Its more about swift decisions and action. I feel both the 9 of swords and the 9 of wands in this reading indicate a strong desire for connection and new positive experiences. Perhaps you would like to make a difference in your community? Volunteer at a church, charity, animal shelter, fund raiser, etc. Host a holiday party. After what we have been through the last few years, I’m sure friends and family would love to get together! Do some fun activities with the kids. Knock out that holiday list by getting your shopping done early. Do that final closet clean out and donate items to charity. Dress up and go to a local community event. Attend a local market. Rediscover yourself and your surroundings.
Gemini rules communications! Now would be a great time to pare down social media feeds that no longer contribute in a positive way to your well-being! As well as maybe add some new interesting feeds to your experience.
Collectively, this full moon is quite active and expressive! The pent up energy we are experiencing may seem a little frustrating, but channeled in a positive way, it gives us the opportunity to make some sustainable and positive changes as we approach the end of 2022.
Helpful crystal suggestions: Black tourmaline, black obsidian, smoky quartz, pyrite, tourmalinated quartz, howlite, tigers eye, moss agate, ametrine, moonstone, nuummite, chrysocolla, quartz pyramid or point.
Post eclipse tarot spread. A clean slate. A choice to move forward.
I don’t know about ya’ll but this eclipse season whipped my ass! But I do now feel a sense of relief and newfound motivation that I haven’t felt in a while. You guys are all “tapped in” too, so I know I am not the only one feeling this way!
Today, the moon has just begun its waning decreasing phase. Illumination is 99% and it is in the sign of Gemini. The Sun is in Scorpio and its corresponding tarot card is the 6 of cups. This is full-on transformation energy! Realizing the past is done and making peace with it in order to move ahead. We have a decision to make as to which direction we want our Chariot to go. Backwards is not an option.
The eclipses showed us what was dragging us down or holding us back. Much of this we may have realized were not necessarily outward forces, but rather internal blockages that were manifesting in our life. I received an image today of the ocean tide sweeping the shoreline clean as it pulls back into the ocean. Removing all of the old footprints of the past and replacing it with a clean water swept beach. Go ahead and look back, but the footprints are gone.
I have a feeling its going to be very interesting from here on out. Have a great day!
Breakthrough transformation! New moon solar eclipse in Scorpio 10/25/22
Hi everyone here is your tarot message for this week!
This reading has an emphasis on the new moon solar eclipse that is occurring tomorrow, October 25th. This transit gives us the opportunity to release what has become excessive and/or toxic to make space for healthy, organic, positive changes.
The nine of cups is reversed in this reading. The chalices behind the character are spilling out their contents, reflecting an emotional disconnect or dissatisfaction. This card reversed, can also indicate unhealthy habits or behaviors such as overspending or overindulgence. Something has reached a tipping point. All may look well and great on the outside, but this card reversed says that this may not necessary be the case when one digs a little deeper.
The Death card, which coincides with the zodiac sign of Scorpio, to me is representing the eclipse energy. It is clearing away the false perceptions and facades to get down to what is real. The solar eclipse combined with the new moon in Scorpio, is calling our attention to an aspect of our life that would benefit from the result of a change. Whatever this is for you, the powers that be say its time and it may very well bring in a person, circumstance or situation that highlights a hard truth that in turn, challenges you to make a change or a choice. This is the “mirror moment” breakthrough that shakes you out of the 9 of cups reversed.
The Queen of Pentacles is a lovely final outcome card. Yes, she is a Queen, but she is not hidden away in a lavish castle, nor do we see an abundance of material possessions in this image. She has high standards, but is practical and grounded at the same time. Oftentimes, she comes up in my readings when someone is, or needs to, focus on their health or on practical matters concerning their home, business, money or family. She can also reflect a strong feminine presence/matriarch at home or work (or both). This is echoed by the Goddess oracle card grounding the reading “healing feminine energy”.
What are you ready to release, change or transform in your life?
To work with this energy, get two candles (one black, one white) and two small pieces of paper. Write down what you want to release on one piece of paper. Light the black candle. Then light the petition with the flame of the black candle and allow it to burn to ash in a fireproof container. Do this BEFORE the time of the eclipse. After the eclipse is over, write down what you want to bring into your life on the second piece of paper. Light the white candle. Then light the petition and allow it to burn to ash in a fireproof container. I recommend using chime or tealite candles so you can allow them to burn out on their own. Feel free to journal any insights you receive during this time.
Hi everyone! Here is your tarot forecast for 9/5-9/11/22:
The moon continues to increase its frequency as it travels through the signs of Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces this week, ending its waxing cycle with the full moon in the sign of mysterious Pisces on Saturday. The full moon occurs the day after Mercury goes into retrograde. A full moon and mercury retrograde so close together can certainly pack a “one-two punch”, which can catch us off guard. But this cosmic energy is being nicely balanced with both the Sun and Venus in the practical earth sign of Virgo. Slow down, stay calm and you’ll be fine. Let’s get to the reading…
Moon in Capricorn: Two of swords. At the beginning of the week, it would seem that some of you are at a crossroads of some sort resulting in a temporary stalemate. There are two options, but which one is correct? You may seek or receive advice from trusted source(s), but ultimately it is your decision. This will not go away on its own, it could even become more difficult as time goes on. So, a plan of action or a choice will be necessary. It is important that YOU make the decision to avoid having someone or a circumstance make it for you. You got this. Find a quiet space without distractions so you can think clearly. Drop into your heart space and tune into your intuition. Put your psychic antennas up, higher guidance is available if you ask for it.
Moon in Aquarius: The Moon. Things may get a little darker towards the middle of the week as the energies progress from the two of swords to The Moon. Shadow and light, dreams, illusions, lies, truth. The Moon in Aquarius can be strange indeed, and let’s not forget we have Mercury Retrograde peeking around the corner! Texts and emails should be proofread more than once before sending. Conversations and/or oral agreements should be followed up in writing to avoid misunderstandings. Trust your instincts, if something appears “off” make a note of it. Do yourself a favor and keep idle chit chat to a minimum this week, especially at work. The potential is there for you or maybe someone else, to inadvertently overshare. As well, do not partake in any kind of gossip or drama, as it could escalate quickly. Look at the image in this card. See how the crawfish is following the path laid out before it? My advice to you is along those same lines. Stay in your own lane as much as possible. You’ll be glad you did!
Moon in Pisces: The Sun reversed. The Sun is still the sun, but when it is in the reversed position, it indicates there could be a few clouds in the forecast. I feel the end of the week is when a decision, truth or information may come to light. It may not be exactly the outcome that you would have preferred, but you are still A-okay. Things are still on track, but there may be a delay. With Mercury retrograde fresh and active, perhaps something needs to be re-evaluated or reviewed again before proceeding further. The Sun, whether upright or reversed is a good sign. You end the week, much more savvy and confident than when you started. Have a great week everyone!
Tarot & oracle cards for the Capricorn Full Super Moon 7/13/22
Tarot message of the week w/an emphasis on the Capricorn Super Moon:
On July 13th, we have a full super moon in the sign of Capricorn. A super moon occurs when the moon’s orbit is in its closest proximity to the earth, while in its full moon phase. Visually, a super moon appears larger, and up to 30% brighter in comparison to other full moons. As such, super moons tend to bring deep, hidden truths to the surface. In the sign of Capricorn, themes centered around time, money, career, karma, long standing structures, authority figures & investments are highlighted.
Capricorn is not a “warm and fuzzy” energy. It balances out the nurturing, emotional waters of Cancer with a mature, no-nonsense, practical perspective.
The moon in Capricorn is encouraging us to put our feelings aside in order to clearly assess the facts of a situation. What in your life is no longer a “viable investment” for your time, energy and/or money? Depending on what this is for you, admitting the truth, can be a tough pill to swallow. Perhaps this is why you’ve been putting off letting it go or hesitating on making a necessary change. Look at the images in the four of pentacles and four of cups. The tarot cards that correspond to this full moon. Both of them are portraying a “closed” energy and lack of movement.
This realization although disheartening, can also set us free. When we continue to put our resources into something that is no longer serving our best interests, or when we allow what is past its expiration date to remain in our space, it takes its toll on our psyche. We become so focused on trying to “make this fit” or “make this work” that we are unable to see that in reality, like a potted plant that has outgrown its vessel, we too, have outgrown this, and are ready to begin something new.
Hecate & The World card is a reminder that everything has its season. A cycle ends, a new one begins.
Capricorn full moon crystal suggestions: Black tourmaline, black obsidian, black onyx, tigers eye, red jasper, moonstone, black moonstone, garnet, hematite, laboradite, carnelian, smoky quartz, rutilated quartz, howlite, azurite, malachite, clear quartz.
Tarot & oracle cards for the Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse 5/16/22
Not only is this moon in the dark, mysterious sign of Scorpio, it includes a rare blood moon lunar eclipse, which exponentially intensifies its energetic influence! Look at the cards in this tarot & oracle card spread. It’s pretty intense. Wouldn’t you agree?
This transit is activating the collective as well as the individual on a profound level. Literally, we are being guided to allow things to end in our life that are or have been exerting a negative influence and/or pulling us off our divine path. In our daily lives, you will see these aspects intensify so that whatever this is for you: people, situations, environment, habits, etc. cannot be ignored any longer. The universe is removing all doubt you may have about needing to release them! But as always, you have a choice. It is YOU that must initiate the change or decide on a new direction. Look at the moon oracle card #19. It’s as if the universe is standing at the fork in the road with you, waiting for your decision.
Take time to be still and access your inner voice. That is where the truth is.
Knowing your truth is what causes the excess to fall away. The choice becomes easy.
Lilith is the goddess energy influencing this transit. She was demonized because she would not submit. Her truth was that she was not “lesser” and deserved to be treated as an equal. To her, staying where she was not allowed to live the fullest expression of herself would in fact, trap her within the limits of someone else’s reality. In other words, she refused to sell herself short in order to please someone else. The price she paid for her conviction was high, but not as high as if she had stayed. We all have been in situations like this. Whether individually or collectively, the result is the same. When we allow others to limit or define us, we give them power over us. As most of you probably already know, these types situations tend to get worse over time, not better.
Does Lilith’s story resonate with you?
Scorpio energy has no choice but to transform itself continuously. Its symbol is the phoenix, which repeatedly goes through the death and rebirth cycle. That is what this moon is activating within us. An internal transformation. Who are you? I’ll bet you are not the same person that you were two years ago, two months ago, two weeks ago, or even two days ago.
What in your life is ready to be released? What have you outgrown? In what area(s) of your life are you over-compromising? Is there an agreement that needs to be renegotiated or voided completely? Are you feeling “blocked”? Do you feel it is time to align yourself with a more empowered archetype?
As a side note, some of you that are psychically sensitive may be physically feeling this moons effects, especially if there is a significant emotional transition and/or psychological breakthrough coming to light at the same time. You may feel confused, dizzy, angry, overly emotional or mentally foggy. Be patient with yourself. If you are feeling this way, protect your energy. Give yourself permission to withdraw for a little while in order to recalibrate. Just as when a snake is shedding its skin, it knows it is vulnerable. Therefore, it withdraws into its hide until the process is complete. If you are resonating with this message, save the big decisions and heavy conversations for after this transit.
I’m going to take this post to the next level here. Yes, this is a powerful moon. But in addition, this transit is supported by other beneficial planetary alignments. As such, we have the ability to work with this potent energy to release the chords of ancestor karmic ties, soul contracts that do not serve our highest good, energetic blockages, painful stories, and patterns that have been repeated over and over due to soul wounds that we have incurred in this life, or even from past lives.
Mercury, the planet that corresponds to communication, is retrograde during this transit. I refer to Mercury retrograde as “Repeat a Grade”. This transit is giving us a chance to “RE-view” our story. Many of these stories have been a part of our experience for far too long as I mentioned before. Every time we re-visit the old narrative, we re-open the old wounds and we re-live the pain of it. Is time to re-lease ourselves from this toxic storyline? The Death card in this reading is our message that a cycle has reached its conclusion.
The Scorpio Moon in regards to agriculture is an ideal time to plant hearty vegetables such as squash, beans, tomatoes and leafy greens. It is said that the roots of plants are able to recover quickly from being transplanted into new soil during this moon phase.
We have Temperance in this reading. One of my nicknames for this card is “spiritual alchemy. This moon is our catalyst, if we have not begun the process already, to do “the great work of inner transformation” by burning away those old narratives and subconscious programs, in order to access the divine “gold” within. If you are reading this, this is your wake-up call. If you are not satisfied with the current trajectory of your life, you have the opportunity with this transit to turn the page and begin a new narrative.
Shifting ones thoughts to a healthier state of being can be difficult at first. If you need help with this, seek the assistance of a trusted counselor or therapist.
Spring is the time for new growth, new beginnings, warmth, beauty, abundance. It is when birds build their nests and lay eggs, the trees begin to show sprigs of green, and hibernating animals, goddesses, gods and nature spirits wake from their winter slumber. It’s an exciting time!
The zodiac symbol for Aries is the ram. An animal that is known for its tenacity and assertiveness. In human terms, we often associate Aries with the warrior or athlete. In our lives, this translates into having the drive and confidence to take action. Whether this is a new project, a career move, athletic endeavors, buying a home, the pursuit of love, or going through with the decision to get that first tattoo, Aries inspires us to achieve.
The card associated with this particular new moon is the three of wands. We see how the character in this card has their eye on the horizon. The three of wands denotes potential as well as future opportunities, some of which may at this point, may be just beyond our reach. Or perhaps we don’t have our plan all together quite yet. But it won’t be like that for long! We are talking about the fiery suit of wands after all! The inner fire of inspiration gives us the courage we need to keep moving. The number three is one of creative potential. It’s that idea that wakes you up at 3:00 am. It’s that feeling that one must “go for it”. It’s thinking to yourself, “it’s crazy, but it just might work”, it’s knowing that you CAN do this, that your vision is within the realm of possibility. The three of wands can also indicate a potential for traveling.
It’s interesting that the New Moon falls on April 1st also known as April Fool’s Day. I see this indicative of the universe further inspiring us to have faith in ourselves and to break the mold, if we are feeling a bit stagnant. Aries, like The Fool in the major arcana, goes its own way. Aries can be a bit much for some people, but personally I love Aries energy! Ask a well aspected Aries person how they will do it, and they will respond “I don’t know how yet, I just know I will.” Just as the ram aligns with its target and charges forward, full speed ahead, their motto is often “get behind me, be beside me, or move out of my way!” Like the warrior archetype they rise to the challenge. They will push themselves to the limit to accomplish their goals.
This new moon in the sign of Aries on April 1st, is asking us to align our courage with our intentions. Are you ready to be bold? Be more independent? Begin a new diet/exercise regime? Have more faith in your potential to succeed? Maybe it’s time to show your leadership skills at work or at home! Perhaps you are ready to set some new rules in your life and assert yourself more. Is it time to step out of your comfort zone and take action? Just as our modern day athletes train and regularly push themselves beyond their physical limits in order to become stronger, this Aries new moon is pushing us to strive beyond our perceived limitations. If you really want it, exert yourself. Put in the extra effort to make it happen.
With Aries, fresh and bold is in vogue! The time is right to put yourself out there! Go ahead, try something new! Change your hair, your clothes, wear some funky footwear. How about showing a little more skin, show us what you’ve got… if you dare…. (laugh). Introduce a bold, sexy, fresh new you to the world! It’s good to shake it up once in a while. It gives everyone else something to talk about! Have some fun.
This Aries New Moon inspires us not to give in to fear. Lean in, and keep going. Now more than ever, it is vital to not allow oneself to become distracted with large scale events that for the most part, are beyond the stewardship of the individual. Instead of focusing your attention outward, turn your powerful gaze inward. Aries represents the self, the individual. Its motto is “I am”.
The major arcana tarot card associated with Aries is The Emperor. There was a saying that I read once that reminded me of this archetype. It stated “I never lose. Either I win or I learn”. That statement in my opinion, reflects the persona of The Emperor, as well as represents the zodiac sign of Aries, perfectly.
So, think about the Aries motto for a moment. “I am”. I am what? What word(s) would you use to finish this sentence?
To work with the Aries frequency, below are a few helpful correspondences. But as I always say, if something resonates that is not on this list, by all means, use it.

Full Moon in Virgo. “I analyze” It’s time to get real….
This full moon in Virgo on 3/18/22, is the culmination of energy from the New Moon in Pisces we had on 3/2/22. See my previous blog or facebook posts for more information on this transit. To sum it up, that new moon’s theme was about connecting to one’s subconscious / spirituality. To plant the seeds of what we have been dreaming about, in order to make it a reality. It was also about wrapping up Karma and releasing old paradigms to shift into a new persona. To align our outside with who we are or are striving to be, on the inside.
So we had a chance to do some lucid dreaming at the Pisces New Moon. Now, Virgo says it’s time to get real. Virgo represents the sixth house in the zodiac. She represents work, health, service to others, self-care, attention to detail, organization, schedules, diet, the body, structure, holistic healing, and everyday commitments. She can be a bit bossy, but it stems from good intentions. She is opposite of the sign of Pisces. She balances out this dreamy water sign with a dose of physical, earth element practicality. The Virgo frequency, has pen and paper in hand and is ready to assist us. She is a mutable earth sign. She has the ability to walk into a current construct and make it better, healthier, more organized, etc. She loves to be of service, and being a mutable sign, she works best when she can improve upon something that is already there. She can take us to the next level. Virgo’s mantra is “I analyze”.
Tonight’s Full Moon in Virgo is asking you: Okay, what do we need to do make your dreams a reality? Do you want to look and feel better? Let’s initiate a diet and exercise plan. Do you want to have more money in savings? Let’s put pen to paper and make a budget. Virgo, being in charge of details, helps us micro-manage the daily aspects of our lives. For it’s what we do or don’t do each day, that add up over time. This includes consideration of how we serve others, and how we take care of ourselves. Virgo energy is spiritual and intuitive with a healthy dose of grounding.
As a side note, this full moon is in a beneficial aspect to Pluto (the planet of destruction & transformation) This additional boost gives us an opportunity to analyze and release once and for all what is not serving us, so that we can embrace fresh, new, holistic, balanced lifestyle choices for ourselves and those that we love.
The Hermit tarot card RWS
The tarot card for Virgo is The Hermit. The Hermit takes time out from society, in order to re-charge and to access inner wisdom. The Hermit also speaks of being a source of light and wisdom for others. But we can only be this source of light for others, by living true to ourselves first and foremost. If you are able to help others, do it. There truly is no better feeling. But when your own light starts to become dim, have the wisdom to “know when to say no”.
The Nine of Cups is the primary energy for this New Moon in Pisces
Tonight’s Pisces New Moon – Make a wish! The New Moon in Pisces tonight is in a beneficial aspect to Jupiter – the planet of growth, luck and expansion. Interestingly enough, the corresponding tarot card for the new moon is the 9 of cups which is known as the “wish fulfillment” card. The Moon in the sign of Pisces (both corresponding to the element of water) is a dreamy, mysterious, sensitive, intuitive, creative energy. Combined with other powerful astrological transits this month, as well as the vernal equinox on March 20th , (the beginning of the spring season) it would appear that the divine is giving us the opportunity to plant the seeds of our intentions of this new moon in VERY fertile soil here!
This frequency is ethereal in nature, therefore she is difficult to grasp with the conscious mind. This New Moon is asking us to “walk between the worlds”. Go ahead, allow yourself to float in the realm of the subconscious for a while. As I write this, the image of one those sensory isolation tanks is coming into my mind’s eye. The New Moon in Pisces is calling you to step into the world of dreams and explore what you find there.
This is an excellent moon phase/transit to do some automatic writing! Light a candle (or two or three LOL), burn some incense and allow yourself to “let go”. Be in a quiet space with no distractions. Pulling an oracle or tarot card(s) may be helpful to get the “conversation” started with your angels, guides, higher self, divine, etc. Let spirit guide your hand during this exercise. Feel free to ask questions, but you must allow the writing to flow without your conscious intervention to get the most benefit from the session.
We have Saturn and Mercury Conjunct in the sign of Aquarius. Both of these planets are comfortable in this sign. This is the house of groups, friends, the collective. This is a nice energy for brainstorming with other like-minded people! Be humble, listen, really listen, to other’s ideas. You just might learn something! Or you may receive an idea that tweaks your idea into something even better! Mercury is direct and Saturn gives form to function. Where this all leads to though, is up to you. The tarot card associated with this placement is the six of swords. This is a card denoting moving forward, making a change. It’s not easy in the beginning, as one can see in the image. But I tell my clients the people in the boat begin to perk up at about the halfway point. This is where they have crossed over the rocky waters and begin to see the new opportunities up ahead. Being the number 6, it denotes a certain amount of faith is required. How do we acquire faith? By having a strong connection with spirit, as I mentioned above. Piscean vibes!
This New Moon also denotes an easier approach, or an end to a cumulative amount of work or building. For example, some of you may be graduating from college, be recognized for a promotion at work, or perhaps you are beginning to reap rewards and/or recognition from a project or business that you have been working on for a good while now. You may also have the opportunity to release karma or energetic chords from a traumatic experience. All planets are direct this month, indicating a forward momentum that allows one to break out of dark psychological cycles or any kind of shadowy energy.
Don’t worry too much about the details right now. We have the full moon in Virgo on March 18th. She will bring us back into reality and shine a light as to what our next steps should be. As I mentioned above, the tarot card associated with this new moon is the nine of cups. Take advantage of this potent, uplifting energy, and make a wish! Be careful what you wish for because it is likely to come true! So make it a good one!
2022 is a “six” year. There is a lot of potential for growth, expansion and for shifting your life into the one that you want. We have the opportunity starting with this New Moon, to release some old paradigms. Perhaps you are ready to make changes in your appearance, your job/career, where you live, etc. to align your outer projection more authentically with who you are on the inside.
