Valentine’s Day Messages: New love, established couples & singles

For this Valentine’s Day, I pulled three cards. One for each of the following: New love, established couples & singles. Which one are you? Scroll down to find your appropriate message.

Queen of Wands from the After Tarot deck

New Love: Queen of Wands Upright

The Queen of Wands upright embodies confidence, allure, passion, and independence. It’s possible that these traits are what drew you both to each other. With a blend of Pisces and Aries energy (water and fire), your new relationship exudes charisma, passion, and a touch of unconventionality. Ahh, isn’t new love grand!

In tarot, the Queen represents maturity and wisdom, hinting that you might be open to a more serious commitment if things continue to progress positively. Your connection mirrors the uniqueness of the Queen of Wands herself – both of you possess intelligence and a quirky sense of humor that not everyone understands. But they do!

There’s also a tender sweetness between you. A smile, the sound of their voice, or a simple touch is all it takes… The Queen of Wands reflects that undefinable “it” factor that radiates magic and allure.

Enjoy the journey and allow your relationship to evolve naturally. No need to rush. Drawing the Queen of Wands upright is a favorable card when it comes to matters of the heart.

Established Couples: The Chariot Upright

The Chariot upright symbolizes the union of opposing forces, moving forward with focus, determination, and a shared objective. If you and your partner have drifted apart lately, it’s time to be proactive in getting your love life back on track!

The Chariot often hints at travel, suggesting a weekend getaway or exploring new destinations together. What are some activities that you both enjoy? Check travel sites for creative ideas. You may be pleasantly surprised by what is available in your own city or town!

Interestingly, this card is linked to the throat chakra, emphasizing the importance of communication in relationships. This Valentine’s Day, foster a deeper connection by asking your partner to jot down six things they love about you, while you reciprocate. Compare notes and have fun chatting about happy memories, such as when you first met.

Valentines Day is once a year. While a grand gesture on this day is appreciated, it’s the small things both of you do on a daily basis to show that you love and appreciate each other, that truly matter.

Nine of Pentacles from the After Tarot deck

Singles: Nine of Pentacles

Self-love takes center stage when this card appears! Content with her independence, the Nine of Pentacles cultivates herself while spending time in her garden.

This Valentine’s Day, treat yourself to something special. Indulge in those delicious chocolate-covered strawberries, pamper yourself with a spa day (whether at a salon or at home), spend quality time with friends, pets, participate in a class or group activity, etc. Go out, stay in, do whatever makes you happy! That’s one of the many perks of being single!

Valentine’s Day often portrays singles as lonely and in search of love. But let me tell you, that’s usually not the case! The freedom you possess is admired by more people than you realize. Don’t get caught up in the hype.

This card corresponds to Venus in the sign of Virgo, symbolizing serenity, achievement, and comfort. It frequently appears for entrepreneurs or individuals (often recently divorced, but not always) who enjoy the freedom to focus on their business or creative endeavors. It also arises when a client has a hobby, idea, or talent that has the potential to be financially rewarding over time. Some of the happiest and most accomplished people I know are single.

The Nine of Pentacles indicates an abundant life. You have the freedom to surround yourself with the things you love and the luxury to prioritize your own happiness and needs, without feeling guilty about taking time and attention away from someone else.

The Nine of Pentacles, the tarot card associated with beauty and fulfilment, is THE card for singles for every day of the year. Not just Valentines Day!

Mid-week the Page of Swords: 1) Great idea, but more information is required. Check your facts and maybe dig a little deeper. 2) Good news! An offer is accepted, or a contract is signed or renewed.

Have a great week!

11/13/23: New moon in Scorpio. 7 of Cups. Purpose & Growth.

Tarot cards for week of 11/13/23. Death, 7 of Cups & Judgement.

Today, we’ve got the new moon in Scorpio and this is a very significant transit. I don’t have the space to go into all the planetary influences, but let me say there is a lot of power to this one! Many of us have been feeling the frequency of this new moon for about a week. You may have been experiencing an influx of energy, motivating you to make a change. If you have been feeling stagnant in an area of your life this could have resulted in feelings of frustration or anxiousness as Mars is opposite Uranus, which can have the effect of a racehorse in the starting gate chomping at the bit!

Our words & actions this week, can have lasting effects for up to six months. Unexpected shake-ups and disagreements are possible. But so are breakthroughs and fresh starts! Keep your vision focused on what you want to see in six months. Particularly in the areas of health, close relationships, finances & investments.

The seven of cups is the main theme card this week. Whenever the 7 of cups comes up in a reading, it does indicate a few things. 1) There are too many distractions and/or clutter. This can be physical clutter as well as emotional/mental clutter. 2) It is time to pick a cup. You have contemplated this this long enough. Make a decision, and take positive action. 3) Be realistic. Illusions, hopes and dreams are an aspect of this card. Such things can inspire us, or keep us stuck behind a veil of escapism and/or wishful thinking. 4) Don’t accept what you are told at face value. Do your own research.

The Death card is riding up behind the seven of cups indicating the end of a cycle and/or some sort of transformation. As we have Judgement as the underlying energy below these two cards, this further supports a change in the status quo. An opportunity for growth.

This week, there is a shift in the collective mindset that provides the motivation to let go of what is past its expiration date. Losses will have the profound effect of placing things back into perspective. Resulting in gaining back control of something that previously may have felt chaotic or disorganized.

Scorpio is a deep, dark archetype. It oftentimes presents us with a situation that challenges us to face a fear, or break an undesirable habit/pattern to overcome external or internal limitations that stand in the way of our life’s progression. Death and Judgement here both indicate a fresh perspective that leads to a new way of doing things.

For example, we have the holidays coming up, which is very much a seven of cups type vibe! Illusions, music, pretty lights all contribute to overspending. Think about it before adding months of debt to your credit card! How many of us make purchases and then when we get the bill in January, don’t remember everything that we bought? Consider paying in cash this year, to help you stick to a budget. Shop purposely for people that you truly care about. Despite the holiday hoopla, I see a trend this year to less spending and more practical gifts. Quality over quantity will be the motto of the this year’s savvy shopper!

Fresh starts and new timelines are possible this week! Make a commitment to what you want to see in about six months and plan accordingly. Finances, health, home, food and investments will be of particular importance at this time. Stick to a budget, get rid of what you don’t need and put money in savings as much as possible. Psychologically, forgive others, release the past and/or have that difficult conversation to give yourself (as well as others) the freedom to heal and move forward. Tune out distractions and focus your energy on what has intrinsic value.

Have a great week!

Full moon lunar eclipse. Five of Pentacles. Turning the corner!

Five of Pentacles is the card representing the moon in the 10/28/23 full moon eclipse in Taurus

This week: Full moon lunar eclipse: Five of pentacles. Turning the corner!

On Saturday, we will be experiencing a full moon lunar eclipse in the sign of earthy Taurus. This ends the intense Taurus-Scorpio eclipse cycle which has been active since November 2021. Below are the dates of the eclipses that occurred while the nodes were in Taurus & Scorpio.

November 19th, 2021 – North Node Lunar Eclipse at 27° Taurus

April 30th, 2022 – North Node Solar Eclipse at 10° Taurus

May 15th, 2022 – South Node Lunar Eclipse at 25° Scorpio

October 25th, 2022 – South Node Lunar Eclipse at 2° Scorpio

May 5th, 2023 – South Node Lunar Eclipse at 14° Scorpio

October 28th, 2023 – North Node Lunar Eclipse at 5° Taurus

Eclipses are powerful agents of change. Its a good idea to pay attention to what is happening in your life around the time of eclipses. Because most likely, the events that transpire will have a significant effect on your life in some way. The 10/28/23 full moon eclipse closes the chapter of this 2021-2023 nodal eclipse cycle. Take a deep breath and turn the page.

This moon occurs on the north node axis. Also known as the “dragon’s head” in astrology, the north node direction indicates forward momentum. The theme for Taurus is “I have”. This transit highlights the material aspects in our lives that make us feel fulfilled, safe and secure.

Our possessions, home, health, money, relationships as well as themes of self-worth, are all things that fall under the Taurus influence.

The last leg of a difficult journey….

Timely endings are poised to unfold with this transit. The dragon’s “tail” is in the sign of Scorpio, the sign of transformation & rebirth. Scorpio is represented by the Death card in the tarot. Which reminds us that endings lead to new beginnings. This final nodal eclipse will help us break free of paradigms that we have outgrown.

The Five of Pentacles is the tarot card that represents the moon in this transit.

What does the image in this card signify to you? For sure its image brings up our worst fears: Loneliness, challenges in finances, health, relationships. But there is another aspect to this card. Look at the lighted window behind them.

This couple literally has just a few more steps before “turning the corner”. Webster’s definition of this term is “to get past the most difficult area or period of something and begin to improve”.

This final eclipse in the Taurus-Scorpio nodal cycle, marks the conclusion to an old storyline. The North node is in Aries in this transit, giving us the courage and drive to implement positive, practical changes that are in alignment with who we are now, at the completion of this two year journey.

What good things await for you behind the door that is just “around the corner”?

The energetic window of time for this eclipse can be up to six months.

Have a great week everyone!

New Moon in Aries, Spring Equinox & Pluto changes signs!

The Aries new moon is coinciding with the Spring Equinox, super charging the energies of renewal & courage.

This fiery, independent new moon reminds us to reflect on how far we have come and to tap into our sovereignty as we begin nature’s new year. The Spring Equinox brings with it an influx of vitality that lights the spark for creative ideas and motivates us to initiate new projects.

Be aware, that on Tuesday, the Aries new moon is squaring Mars. This could result in conflicts or disagreements that can quickly escalate. Resist the urge to give in to impulsive words or actions! Rather, understand that this could be a truth being revealed. Take a deep breath and a step back. Ground your energy so you can see this through fresh eyes. A conflict resolution and/or a new path forward will be shown to you.

Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd for about three months before it goes back into Capricorn. Pluto’s activity this week, is enhancing the theme of changes & growth. In your personal chart, knowing what house transiting Pluto is in, will offer insight on what area of your life is being affected by this planet of hidden truths & transformation. If you would like to schedule a reading on this, let me know.

All in all, this is an exciting week! There is a lot of energy for us to process for sure. But we can tap into it and use it wisely to initiate a clear plan of action. Ideally, as this new moon is the beginning of a waxing (increasing) moon cycle, try to set at least a few goals this week, that can be achieved before the full moon on April 5th.

Below are helpful correspondences for the sign of Aries:

Aries Keywords: Confidence, goal-setting, health, new beginnings, action, independence, passion, courage, drive, assertiveness, dynamic, decisive, risk-taker.

Element: Fire
Gender Archetype: Masculine
Colors: Red, orange, yellow, white
Ruling Planet: Mars

Crystal Suggestions: Carnelian, citrine, red jasper, hematite, tiger’s eye, amethyst, garnet, green aventurine, pyrite, bloodstone.

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!

Tarot message this week: First quarter moon in Taurus. Invest wisely.

Queen of Swords & Seven of Pentacles from the Wandering Star Tarot

Towards the end of this week, the moon is entering its first quarter phase in the sign of Taurus. The first quarter moon tends to bring up obstacles or highlight potential problem areas that need to be evaluated. It tests our resolve by encouraging us to come up with creative solutions. In the sign of Taurus this may be in the area of one’s finances, health, relationships, and other “earthly” matters.

It’s interesting that one of the cards that came out today, is the seven of pentacles, which corresponds to the sign of Taurus. The seven of pentacles reminds us to invest wisely. This is the classic “you reap what you sow” card. Progress is slow and steady, and this card indicates a certain amount of time and effort is required to make it work. This card can also speak of frustration if progress is slow. It also may ask us to carefully consider if we should continue to invest in something that is not yielding the results that we anticipated.

What in your life this week could use a careful review of the investment versus profit ratio? The Queen of Swords is in this reading, indicating that perhaps you would benefit from seeking impartial advice from someone you trust. She may also have shown up to encourage you to look at the facts and make a decision. It may be time to cut your losses and chalk it up to experience. Or she may give you some constructive criticism, tell you to roll up your sleeves and get to work!

Be prepared to hear what you need to hear, and not what you want to hear. The Queen of Swords either as a person, or as an archetype, tells it like it is! If you are connecting with this reading, what advice do you think she would have for you?

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
