Tarot forecast 9/26-10/2/22

Five of Swords, Nine of Cups & Judgement tarot cards

Hi everyone, this is Christine with your tarot forecast for this week!

We begin the week with the new moon in Libra. The tarot card that came out for this aspect is the five of swords. Libra is a sign associated with balance and justice. However, the fives in the tarot indicate a disruption or change. Is there an area in your life wherein the scales require an adjustment? This may evolve into a conflict that requires you to assess your position carefully.

If you love/care about the others involved, use the Libra New Moon to rise above egos in order reach a mutually beneficial compromise. If tempers flare, give each other space to calm down so that no one says anything that they may regret later. Others of you may have had enough and are ready to speak your truth or draw that line in the sand. You may be dealing with someone who refuses to listen/compromise or that has a negative impact on your well-being.

I’ll let you decide if this is card’s message is one of “good riddance” or “hold on, maybe I shouldn’t go there”. Our words yield great power. Use them wisely. Let’s move on….

Mid-week, the moon travels through the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio loves digging deep to get to the real truth and it is empowered by the waxing moon. Here we have the 9 of cups. This is a card of achievement, success, happiness, accolades. A job well done. What does your vision of happiness and success look like? Are you currently in alignment with that goal or dream? This card corresponds to Jupiter in Pisces. Artistry, imagination, generosity, happiness.

The world is your oyster here as long as your intent is pure and you have joy in your heart. This is a great energy for projects, friendship, laugher, sharing ideas. If you are open and honest, the right people and circumstances will be drawn to you and will support your vision.

At the end of the week, the moon continues through the sign of Sagittarius. And away we go with the tarot card, Judgement. There is certainly momentum building as you are bringing about some positive changes into your life or a situation. You may be making peace or coming to terms with, a decision or action (maybe from earlier in the week with that five of swords?). You have Archangel Gabriel here delivering your message. There is no denying that it is time to get up and get moving. The card is upright, so I see this is as a positive change and/or transformation. This may also be a sign for some of you that you are being inspired by a “divine calling” in some capacity.

Although Judgement tends to generally be what I consider a “larger themed” card, this can also denote your making positive changes in your daily habits, routines, patterns, etc. that positively impact yourself and those around you. There is no going back when we see this card. Judgement is the next to last card in the major arcana. It is the moment that one steps out of the casket of what was, and into a new destiny, life or career path, or calling. On a smaller scale, it could simply be that of embracing a new perspective or a “new lease on life”.

Have a great week everyone!

Tarot message for 9/19-9/25/22: Two of Pentacles & “Spirit”

Hi everyone, things are a little bit hectic on the homestead this week, so I am going to keep this short with a one tarot card and one oracle card pull for this week’s message:

Two of Pentacles & “Spirit” Heavenly assistance from your angels and guides:

I think all of us can sympathize with the character in the two of pentacles card. His hands are full as he is juggling work, school, responsibilities, a budget, time for family, etc. It often seems that there are not enough hours in the day. I often refer to the two of pentacles as the multi-tasking card.

The message that is sometimes overlooked here, is that this character is artfully skilled at balancing all that needs to be done. Kudos to you! But it is advised not to take on anything else at the moment. This may require you to put less important tasks on the back burner for now, until this settles down or is concluded.

You’ve got this, but it’s kind of like walking on a tightrope. It’s tricky, as you are making adjustments with each step. So you are going to need to carefully focus on keeping your feet underneath you. Usually, the two of pentacles denotes a relatively temporary situation that is challenging, but certainly doable.

Notice the infinity symbol that is wrapped around the two pentacles. The oracle card “Spirit” is an interesting message as the infinity symbol in the tarot denotes connection to the infinite possibilities of the universe/divine, as well as a connection to the higher spirit realms. If you are pulling double duty right now, you may be asking, how long can I keep this going? Your answer from spirit is “as long as it takes to get through this, or to get this done”. You are supported by spirit, so be sure and ask for divine help and guidance if needed. Remember, they will not interfere unless you ask!

I often see this card come up for clients when they are burning the candle at both ends. Working during the day and going to school at night. Single parents, I’m sure you can identify with this image, as well as those that may be caring for elderly parents, young children or family members that need help. These are just a few examples to help you understand the tone of this card.

The last message is to be sure that you are finding a healthy balance between your responsibilities and own well-being. It’s easy to forget about yourself when you are focusing on the juggling act at hand. Remember, you are a crucial component in all of this. Take care of yourself.

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Tarot forecast 9/12-9/18/22: Dust ups, apologies, good news…

Five of Wands, Page of Cups & Ace of Pentacles from Rider Waite tarot

The moon is currently in its waning (decreasing cycle) this week as it travels through the signs of Aries, Taurus and Gemini. All three cards that came out for you, indicate a young fresh energy, with a little bit of drama thrown in. I’m not surprised at this, as full moons tend to heighten emotions for about three days before and three days afterwards. That being said, let’s dive in!

Moon in Aries: Five of Wands. There’s some tension early in the week as there may be competition at work, or this could be a creative brainstorming session or a debate that gets heated. This card can also indicate drama, disagreement or infighting within a close-knit group. All involved want to be seen and heard. Egos abound, tempers flare, but it’s not long lived. The key for you is to not get caught up in the fray. It is certainly tempting to want to add in your “2 cents”. But see how the sensitive Page of Cups is looking on, but not participating? My eye is also drawn to the young man in blue in the Five of Wands card that has the wand over his shoulder, instead of up and in the battle. You do need to stay informed, but be careful not to be drawn in to this emotionally charged tornado. This will calm down just as fast as it started as long as no one keeps poking at the fire.

Moon in Taurus: Page of Cups: Things calm down towards the middle of the week. You or someone else may be owed an apology from the dust up that happened a few days ago. Some of you may have to be the bigger person here and open the communications back up. Within the drama, there were probably some good ideas in there too! Now that everyone has had a chance to settle down, perhaps it is time to revisit this. The Page of Cups upright brings good news whether this is friendship, financial opportunities, or creative projects. Better times are up ahead now that everyone is on the same page (no pun intended).

Moon in Gemini: Ace of Pentacles. It would appear that the chaos earlier in the week, was the catalyst for a new opportunity and/or blessing to emerge! Whatever this is, there is certainly potential for growth here. The Ace of Pentacles may very well be the beginning of an investment, idea or endeavor that could grow into the ten of pentacles over time as long as all involved continue to work together towards a common goal.

Have a great week everyone!

Tarot forecast 9/5-9/11/22: Shadows, light, mercury retrograde

Two of swords, the moon & the sun reversed

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 Forecast for 8/15-8/21/22. The only way to go from here is up! Karmic shift, justice, crystal information.

Eight of Swords (reversed), Wheel of Fortune, Justice (Light Seers Tarot)

So, we are in the aftermath of the recent powerful Super Full Moon in Aquarius, and now the moon is just beginning its waning (reducing) phase traveling primarily through the signs of Taurus and Gemini this week.

At the beginning of the week, we have the eight of swords reversed. Let’s be honest. We’ve all been here. Sometimes life gets rough and it gets the better of us. We can feel stuck, depressed, trapped. But look closely at this card. I love the artist’s interpretation of the reversed eight of swords in the Light Seers Tarot. We are witnessing the moment wherein she realizes who she is. The bonds are broken, the blindfold is off, and she is just about to rise up off her knees. A shift in perspective makes all the difference. If this is you, I’m cheering you on! The only way to go from here is up!

Mid-week, we have the Wheel of Fortune upright. Your mental shift earlier in the week pays off! This has freed up space for the Universe to bring in some good things. Stay open as the energies are influx. Literally, when the Wheel of Fortune is upright, anything could happen! You may get a new job, raise or promotion, begin a new project, experience a renewed sense of faith, health or confidence, receive good news, have a download of creative ideas, or perhaps a legal matter is finally concluded. Look at the images in the first two cards. This is a big shift. Our lady goes from being on her knees, to a perfectly balanced yoga “tree pose” at the top of the Wheel of Fortune! What just happened? Your future just took a turn for the better.

At the end of the week, as the moon travels through the quick moving air sign of Gemini, we have another major arcana card, Justice. You might sign a contract, wrap up a negotiation, speak your truth, give notice at work, sell or buy a home, or perhaps karmic or court justice (or both as the case may be) is served. Two, out of the three cards here are major arcana. This can denote important life themes or that universal/cosmic energies are exerting their influence.

This could be a big week for some of you. There is an opportunity for a peaceful resolution or a positive change. Something is granted, rewarded or released. Balance is restored.

The crystals I chose for this reading are kyanite and labradorite.

Kyanite is a potent stone that clears away negativity. Similar to selenite, it has the ability to cleanse and clear other crystals that are in close proximity to it. Its “broom” shape can be used in a symbolic “sweeping” motion to clear away negative or foggy energy from our auric field, other crystals, altar or space.

Labradorite is primarily used as a meditation and/or “psychic stone”, although it has many other properties as well. It aids us in connecting with higher realms of consciousnesses and the Akashic records. It promotes peace within our mind, body and emotions, allowing for restful sleep. Its protective nature helps to banish fears within our subconscious aiding us in releasing blocks so that we can access the full potential of our magick within. It inspires faith in oneself and trust in the divine process.

The dove feather symbolizes peace and restored faith. Have a great week everyone! ❤️

Tarot forecast 8/1-8/8/22. Stay in your grace, keep it moving.

This week’s tarot forecast for 8/1-8/7/22

The moon is in its waxing, increasing phase this week as it travels through the signs of Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. It will be in its first quarter phase on Friday. The sun is currently in the zodiac sign of fiery, charismatic Leo.

This energetic combination has us feeling good! For ya’lls tarot messages this week, I’ve pulled three cards corresponding to each of the signs that the moon will be traveling through. Let’s do this!

Libra: (Tues/Wed): Knight of Pentacles. This is my slow and steady wins the race card. Keep your eye on the prize! Stay balanced in your thoughts and actions. If you begin to drift, ask yourself is this leading me closer to my goal, or taking me further away from my goal? I also received the message that some of ya’ll have been in Hermit mode for far too long. Knights indicate movement. Get up and get moving! Take advantage of this fabulous Leo sun energy! Make the effort to meet some new people, network, check out some different places, etc. Our Knight of Pentacles is heading in the direction of two beautiful upright Queens! There is an opportunity or special someone that is out there waiting for you. Look at this image again. These two Queens appear to be beckoning our Knight to them. Whatever this is, it will not come to you. You must go to it.

The Leo sun is squaring the moon in Scorpio (Thurs/Fri): This is an interesting aspect. Something weird may come up. I don’t see this as a big deal though. Perhaps someone with a dry sense of humor makes a comment for example, that makes you wonder, what the heck was that supposed to mean? Or maybe someone said or did something earlier in the week that rubbed you the wrong way, and you are replaying the interaction over again in your mind. They probably weren’t even aware of it or maybe it was just a little dig, because they just can’t handle your fabulous vibe! If need be, write down your observation or make a mental note, and move on. Believe me, you have better things to focus on. LOL!! Stay in your grace and put this behind you.

(Saturday/Sunday): Art, music, magick, travel, socializing, what lights your fire? The Queen of Wands is pure inspiration! Look at the image here! She is asking you to tap into a “flow” state of being to access your creativity. Don’t overthink it. There is magick in the air. The Universe is manifesting something special for you. Trust your intuition and pay attention to the signs spirit is sending you. You may experience some unexpected good luck this weekend. This is also a good time to do some manifestation and/or candle magic.

I love you all, have a great week!

Tarot message this week w/an emphasis on the Full Super Moon in Capricorn

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.

Have a great week everyone!

The Hermit & Goddess Sulis – tarot message for this week

Tarot message for this week from the Goddess Sulis and The Hermit. It appears some of you out there may be feeling the need to withdraw for a little while. Perhaps you have recently gone through a stressful experience, or maybe you are just exhausted, and even a bit jaded from the demands of daily life. Others of you may be contemplating an important decision or reflecting on your life path and purpose.

The Goddess Sulis, recommends spending time with the healing element of water to aid you in calming your mind so that you are able to access the wisdom of your inner voice.

If you are able to spend time this week or this weekend at a lake or the beach, that would be helpful. Another option is to indulge yourself with a soothing mineral bath. Put some Epsom salt in there as well as a small handful of Himalayan Pink salt. Light some candles & incense, turn off the cell phone and embrace your solitude.

If you have a decision to make, take all the time you need to carefully think it through.

Have a great week everyone!

Take a step forward every day…

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!

Tarot Message this week: You are worth it…

The Five of Swords, The Empress & Page of Pentacles

The Empress is a card of creation, nature, and beauty. Ruled by Venus, this divine feminine, embodies abundance and self-love. Look how relaxed she is. She is not a machine – go, go, go. She is nature. And nature is not full speed ahead all of the time. It ebbs and flows in cycles.

I feel that in this reading today, she is saying that you require some “me” time this week. And more importantly, you are to be okay with it. There is no need to explain, no excuses, no guilt. The Empress says “you are worth it”.

I love the Page of Pentacles card grounding this reading. Isn’t she beautiful? She appears to be in a modified “tree” yoga position. Balanced, full of potential, optimistic. She gives me a “tribal” sort of vibe. Her unique gifts and talents are an asset to herself and others. They are the keys to manifesting abundance in her life. But only if she takes care of herself first. She is but just a Page. She must take care not to burn herself out. And more importantly she must be careful not to squander her potential on those that do not appreciate it. I find it interesting that she too, is out in nature, just like The Empress card above her.

What’s with the Five of Swords here? I sometimes refer to the Five of Swords as the “screw you” card. But I don’t recommend you tell anyone off this week! (laugh). However, this could indicate a more direct approach is required to cut some circumstances, people, or prior commitments out of your life that are draining you. The Empress is very generous, the Page of Pentacles is young and energetic, but even they have their limits.

We have the quirky, innovative Aquarius New Moon this week, coinciding closely with the Chinese New Year in the sign of the powerful Water Tiger. These are additional energies coming in serving as an energetic “push” to aid you in making any changes that you wish to make to allow space for other, more positive experiences to come in to your life.

People grow, develop other interests. This is normal. If you are ready to do something else. It’s all good. People will get over it. You cannot be all things to all people, as if you try, you will lose yourself in the process.

The Empress does not exhaust herself to “prove” her worth to anyone. She is enough. You are enough. You are always enough.

Have a great week everyone!
