Full Moon in Virgo

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
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”. 🌷🌕♍️❤️

March 2022 Pisces New Moon – Make a wish!

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. ❤️

Knight of Pentacles from the Shadowscapes Tarot deck

Look carefully at this card. See the forest dwelling spirits dancing all around our Knight, attempting to seduce and distract him as he embarks on his quest through the enchanted forest? They’ve even hung some shiny baubles in the trees in the hopes they will catch his eye. To tempt him to stop short, to pull him away from the divinely lighted path in front of him, which represents his future.

His gaze remains steadfast however. This is a realistic, grounded Knight. He knows a successful future is laid down from each step of what has been achieved today. His future is worth more than a few shiny trinkets, that represent the folly of instant gratification. No, he understands his path has a greater purpose. He did not come this far, for the journey to end here. Flights of fancy will not ensnare this one. He urges his dragon onward.

The Knight of Pentacles represents movement within the earth element. Practical and steadfast, this card encourages one to remember that the small decisions we make every day lead us one step closer, or farther from our future goals.

I call the Knight of Pentacles the “slow and steady wins the race” card. This Knight reminds us not to give up. Even though sometimes it may feel like we are not making as much progress as we would like. It can seem insurmountable at times. But keep moving forward, even if it’s just one solid step each day. You will see. Your future self will look back and thank you. Because those small steps added up to a lot!

“It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.” – Quote by Robert H. Goddard

Have a great week everyone! ❤🦋❤🌷❤

This week: What is casting a shadow on your sun?

Eight of Swords reversed and The Sun reversed this week.

Is there something that you are holding on to that no longer suits you, but you are having mental and/or emotional challenges regarding releasing it? This push/pull effect on our psyche can result in one feeling “trapped” or “stagnant”.

The first two cards in this reading are numbers 8 + 4, This adds up to number 12 which corresponds to the Hanged Man in the major arcana. The Hanged Man is a card of taking a pause to look at something from a different perspective. I find it interesting that the Eight of Swords has come out reversed here, which puts her in a similar position as The Hanged Man. But, as you can see, the characters have two very different perspectives regarding their current predicament.

The Eight of Swords next to The Hanged Man

In this reading, the Universe is asking you to release fear and see your circumstances within a more proportionate frame of reference. In otherwords, are you thinking in terms of what-ifs and worst-case scenarios?

The number eight corresponds with the eighth house of Scorpio. Although the eight of swords is not technically a Scorpio card, one can see the psychological energetic ties to this energy within its image. Deep psychology, death, hidden fears, the shadow realms, etc. It can get pretty dark and scary in there… Do not despair, the Eight of Swords reversed indicates you are not a victim. You have more power than you think. You just don’t see it…. Yet…… 🦋

The Sun reversed supports this theme. The Sun is a positive card regardless of its position, but when it is reversed, I tend to read it as there is some cloud cover blocking its optimism.

The Universe is asking you to challenge the validity of your self-doubt. As we have the waning moon in Scorpio Monday and Tuesday this week, this energy presents an opportunity to analyze where this is coming from. Most likely, this is an emotional chord linked to a trauma from the past that at this point in your life, no longer holds truth for you.

We have a waning crescent moon in Sagittarius on Thursday. Sagittarius corresponds to the Temperance card. If you have a tarot deck, I recommend you pull this card and meditate on its symbolism and meaning. There is an opportunity for some amazing spiritual alchemy this week! Archangel Michael is the angel depicted in Temperance. Call on this powerful force of the Divine to aid you in the process of transmuting self-doubt into confidence and faith in yourself. ❤

Have a wonderful week everyone ❤🙏🦋❤

Temperance from the Major Arcana

The Death Card

The Death card can be a disconcerting image, but its not what most people think….

#13 Death card in the tarot. Its image can be disconcerting, that’s for sure. When this card comes up in a reading, it rarely indicates a literal death of a person. 99% of the time, it represents a symbolic death or transition.

Associated with the zodiac sign of Scorpio, it is a message that a cycle has reached its conclusion. In most cases, the circumstance cannot or should not be resurrected. The healing waters and sunrise in the background are symbols of renewal. A new cycle is about to begin.

It not a “bad or good” card. Death and cycles are a part of life. It just “is”. When Death sweeps through, it clears the path by removing the chords of the past, to allow freedom and new opportunities to emerge. This is not an energy that indicates a dramatic “blow out” ending. The Death card tells us to make peace with what was and to move on with dignity. Tomorrow is a new day. ❤🦋❤

Six of Cups: Holidays and Exes – Oh My!

Six of cups can indicate the return of people from the past….
Video version of blog post

I got the feeling that somebody needed to see this today….

The holidays… It’s not surprising that the six of cups comes up quite a bit in my readings this time of year within the context of relationships and ex-lovers. It’s easy to get swept up in the nostalgia of the season. Especially now, as depending on where you live, things may be opening back up. Friends, family, wine, twinkling lights, smiling faces, laughter, presents, mistletoe. There you are, holding a glass of wine, eating hors d’oeuvres having a good time.

The doorbell rings, and guess who comes walking in. Looking better than ever. Your eyes meet and here they come. Your heart skips a beat. Crap….

A casual conversation which leads to the question “Are you seeing anyone?” “No.” “Are you?” “No.” Or perhaps they say “not really”. You’re not sure what that means 🤔but you let it go. “Can I get you another drink?” “Sure.” 😈🍷🍸🍺

Next thing you know the night progresses and in a moment of weakness you do something that you regret later. I’m sure ya’ll meant what you said during those moments of passion. This time it will be different… 💕🎁💣⌚️💔

How many times as a tarot reader have I heard this story? Lots. Have I been there? Sure. We all have. I get it.

However, this time it will be different! Because you saw this post. Forewarned is forearmed!

If I have caught your attention, this is your message. Stop and think. Remember why they became your ex in the first place! They had their chance and blew it. And believe me, they don’t just look good to you. YOU LOOK GOOD TO THEM!!!

Have you forgotten how awesome you are? You are light years ahead of who you were back then. Of course they want you back!

Breathe, take a moment.

Remember how much inner work you did to get over that relationship? The strength it took for you to patch yourself back together. How you believed them when they said that YOU were the problem. As they gaslighted you and told you that you were crazy or paranoid. When you wondered if there truly was something wrong with you. Remember, when your chest literally hurt from the heartbreak, the tears, the anger. The times they ghosted you. When they made you feel like you were not worthy of love. The valuable insights you received from the experience. How you love yourself more than ever now because of it.

I am reminding you because I remember. I remember our tarot readings while you were going through all this. The tears, the denial. As you slowly began to realize how how beautiful, strong and powerful you are. That you never needed them. THEY NEEDED YOU. I watched your eyes light up as you came to this realization. You learned that self-love is the most powerful love of all. I watched you as you transformed into your own best friend. And that this is what opens the doors to healthy relationships. And that it is better to be alone, than to be with someone that is toxic for your soul.

You trust your intuition. You are much more confident now. You smile more. You may have even dated a few other people since then. We both laugh when the Universe sends you someone similar to your ex to test you to see if you are paying attention. Sort of like a pop quiz. Of course, you pass with flying colors. Only those worthy of all that you have to offer are allowed in. You send the rest packing as soon as the red flag appears.

Wow. You’ve come a long way! Tell me again, why are you going back to them?

Yeah, I didn’t think so either. 😉🦋❤️You got this! 😉🌲❤⭐

Happy Friday! The Star

One of the “positive” cards in the Tarot. The Star is a message of hope, healing & inspiration

Happy Friday everyone! The card I pulled today is The Star. This card appears after the upheaval of The Tower in the Major Arcana. Notice the eight pointed stars on this card. The eight pointed star traditionally carries the frequency of resurrection, salvation, abundance, healing, and hope. The Star card in a reading is a positive sign that divine/universal blessings, and opportunities will soon appear in your life. You will experience a renewal of mind, body and spirit. As well, divine wisdom is bestowed upon you in the form of a renewed source of inspiration. This higher and wiser perspective gives one a positive outlook for the future. ❤⭐️🌈

Gemini season: The Lovers 5/21/21

The zodiac sign of Gemini is represented by The Lovers card in the Major Arcana

Today, the sun moves into Gemini. An air sign which is represented by The Lovers in the Major Arcana. One of the more popular cards in the deck, The Lovers represents, balance, unification, clear communication, decisions and connections on all levels (within ourselves, with other people, as well as our connection to Source, God/Goddess, Universe, Divine, etc.)

Today’s message:

The Lovers, as it is the next card that comes after The Hierophant, is a reminder to be mindful of our internal moral compass. Are you considering all the long term effects of a current decision? Is there something tempting that is being presented to you that looks good on the surface, or may appear be a shortcut to something that you have been wanting to achieve, but is there a caveat attached that requires you to compromise your personal values or integrity in some way?

The Lovers encourages you to bring into balance the information received from both the conscious mind and the heart. But ultimately, your heart will lead the way. What FEELS right to you? Stay solid in your truth. Take the “high road”. Although it appears to be the more challenging path now, it pays off with big dividends later. ❤

“The human heart feels things the eyes cannot see, and knows what the mind cannot understand.” Robert Valett

What is your personal year tarot card for 2021?

In numerology, your year number is calculated by adding up the numbers from the month you were born, plus the date and the current year. If it is a double digit number, add them together to come up with a single digit number. For example, if your birthday is on October 15th. You would calculate your year number as follows: 1+0+1+5+2+0+2+1 =12/3.

If your year number is a number 11, that is considered a “master number” that has particular significance, and is normally read as both an 11 and a 2.

Okay, so you did the math and are ready to see what 2021 has in store for you. Let’s do this! Click on the video below:
