Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of Nov 28, 2021

Happy birthday Sagittarians!

The artist this week is Irene Febry @irenefebry.  Her collage work reminds the viewer of coral reefs.  Small bits of life clinging to one another and creating a larger ecosphere in which a variety of organisms can live and thrive and do so only because of this collaboration.

As Febry says her work does come from nature: “My inspiration comes from nature and the things around me, such as sand, stone, fungus, bacteria, insects, microorganisms, a pattern on the wall, etc. My collage always begins with a small size of paper scrap as it grows in size and detail. A growth which results in a kind of microcosm of colour and shapes on its own. They interact with one another as if forming a relationship or a new dynamic.” As a viewer this dynamic is what resonates with us. We see how our lives interconnect with others.  That these relationships create families, friends, neighborhoods, businesses, countries and ultimately the World.  The past 2 years has again proven we can no longer be just an individual organism.  We are all part of this Ecosphere called Earth.

 

Solar System highlights:  The Moon starts this week in Virgo – finish tidying up.  Then moves into Libra on the 29th – to a focus on relationships.  Then onto Scorpio for the 1st– lighting up our passions.  And ends the week, on the 3rd, moving into Sagittarius -when personal freedom is key. Mercury is in Sagittarius until December 12th – great for deep philosophical conversations with folks but watch for right vs. might attitudes.  Venus is in Capricorn until the end of the year – where beauty and harmony are achieved with practicality.  Mars is in Scorpio – desire is in the air, and it is a great time to work on long term projects that you care about.  And lastly, Jupiter and Saturn are in Aquarius – so innovating and upping your game is their focus until end of December.

 

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Sagittarius this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Gemini it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.

May light be on you, around you, and within you,

Nina

King of Wands – The Muse of Inspiration’s energy surrounds you this week.  Using innovation and thinking outside of the box is the way to success and ease.    Your challenge is to make sure you don’t have unrealistic expectations around the implementation of these new avenues.  Mistakes give more information then successes.

Ten of Wands – The Muse of Obligations is here to help you navigate this week’s to-do list.  You can get things done this week, but you are also easily overwhelmed.  She has you prioritize your list either from old to new or least time to most time.  Then tackle one task at a time, and if needed breaking those into even smaller steps.

 

Gemini

Four of Wands – This week and last week you got fours so a bit of a dive into this number.  These Muses come when you need or want to create some stability in your life.  Last week it was about stabilizing your physical and mental health by laying low.  This week to stabilize put your energy into your making your home cozy.  Whether that is setting up for the holidays or tidying up from the last one.  Take time to care for your home and it will care for you.

Seven of Wands – Last week the Muse of Experimentation suggested finding ways to bring magic and the unexpected to your life.  This week the Muse of Focus adds to the energy mix by asking what are you using your energies on?

Six of Pentacles – Your second energy to work with this year is the Muse of Small Kindnesses.   This year it is important that you see that many of your actions lead to reactions.  This year is a study in this cosmic energy exchange.  When this Muse shows up, she challenges you to consciously walk on this Earth and see that the little decisions at times resonate more than the larger ones.

 

Capricorn
Irene Febry

Queen of Swords – The Muse of Detail has come with her magnifying glass to help you sort through the finer elements of your life.  You can easily see the big picture but the steps to get there might be elusive or overwhelming.  Make you tasks bite size so you can get checks things off your lists.  If you have any legal matters, contracts, or agreements read and discuss the fine print.

 

Aquarius
Irene Febry

*Sun – The Muse of Positivity is shining on you this week. This energy shows up to have you bask in literal sunlight (ie get outside) and to also see that you have a pretty good life.  Not that this energy doesn’t also cast shadows, but the ones that show this week are amendable.  And their contrast to the good things in your life make them feel less “shady”.

 

Pisces
Irene Febry

Two of Coins – The Muse of Balance has you juggling work and play.  If you are not doing both well, stop one to re-balance the other then start again.  No matter where your weekend lies in the next seven days find the time to relax as hard as you work or vice versa.

Aries

*Justice – The Muse of Fairness has come to your dinner table.  She comes when injustices are in the air.  The challenge with this energy is how to be a champion for the cause.   This Muse helps us navigate the complexity of right and wrong.   Most people are reactive to injustice instead of proactive of the reasons behind the unfairness.  Make sure when you defend, you defend from a place of compassion and fix the why behind the problems.

 

Taurus

Virgo

Three of Swords – The Muse of Healing Wounds has arrived to pull splinters out of fingers and hearts.  This week’s events can trigger old wounds.  These hurts are meant to be pulled out, examined, and healed.  This is not a week to stuff down or mask your pain but also do not expect everyone to be able to help or relate to your healing process.

 

Libra

*Magician – The Muse of Experimentation is here this week.  This is a great time to try on new traditions.

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of Nov 14, 2021

Eclipse
Nasa

The Fall night sky calls us to look up as eclipse season begins. On Friday November 19th we start with a Lunar eclipse in Taurus starting the Taurus/Scorpio eclipses that will last until 2023, and on December 4th a solar eclipse in Sagittarius ends the Gemini and Sagittarius eclipse pairings.  What does this mean?    By definition it means, an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination. One can look at their natal chart and see if your planets or nodes are energized by being in these signs.  But for all of us its a dance of constancy and passion.  These eclipses illuminate aspects in our lives, so we may work on making our dreams come true.

This week art highlights Nasa’s library, of visual and audio files of plants, moons, nebulas, and universes.  @nasa The library spans 101 years of space exploration.  These visuals show us how amazing and vast the Space we live in is.

Solar System highlights:  The Moon starts this week Aries – great for tapping into energy to start projects.  Then moves into Taurus on the 16th– great time to grow anything you focus on. We have a lunar eclipse in Taurus on Friday the 19th and moves into Gemini by midnight.  So, through the weekend the focus switches to intellect, learning and conversations.  Mercury is in Scorpio – it focuses us on our passion and letting go of forms of communication that no longer work for us.  Venus is in Capricorn – where beauty and harmony are achieved with practicality.  Mars is in Scorpio – desire is in the air, and it is a great time to work on long term projects.  And lastly, Jupiter and Saturn are in Aquarius – so innovating and upping your game is their focus until end of December.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Scorpio this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Taurus it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.

Nine of Swords – The Muse of Worry will be knocking on your door this week.  Yes, there is a lot to still worry over, but when is worry useful?  Worry is only positive when what you worry over has a solution.  So, for everything you can’t do anything about, let that go, and fix what you can.

Eight of Cups – Finally a week to take a breath.  The Muse of Simplification is here to help you streamline your life.  Remember last week the Muse of Creation had you thinking on what you want to grow in 2022.  Well to do this you will need to par down what you are doing.  Spend this week sifting through items/thoughts/projects into two piles.  What needs to be done to create for 2022 and what you can let go off that stunts that creation.

Five of Swords – Your second five so let’s look at fives for a sec.  Fives signify chaos.  Last week it was about which chaos are you actually responsible for and this week it’s about chaos of the Ego.  This Muse points out how you, at times, define your sense of self around other people’s ego.  This can look like getting into arguments you know won’t change people’s minds, or taking on another person’s mood, or believing you can harness the chaos.  The challenge is for you to sidestep the drama this week.

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of Nov. 7, 2021

Artemisia Gentileschi
Artemisia Gentileschi

The artist this week is Artemisia Gentileschi.  She lived in the 17th century mostly in Italy.  Gentileschi was one of the few woman painters of that time and was well known enough that she made a living with selling her paintings to nobles and royals like Charles I of England.  She is also known for being the daughter of Baroque painter Orazio Gentileschi and being raped and winning her case against her rapist when she was 17.

When men write about her, they note the power of her brushstroke likening it to men of her time, or her boldness of portraying strong women characters, unlike the men of her time.  Feminists write about her through a lens of a survivor and a woman who made her way in the patriarchal system.  When female art historians write about her, they see her in a broader context with a variety of aspects that contributed to what she painted and why.

As a viewer we do look through our personal lens.  Asking questions like did this feminine perspective become her selling point?  Or was it the subjects she chooses?  her “fame” of the rape?  Or did she exemplify Baroque art with its drama, rich and deep color and intense light and dark shadows?

All of these are pertinent questions, but also, maybe we just like her work, amazed at how she can capture candlelight.  As we view and relate to art or our lives, one must remember that a point in time resonates throughout our lifetime, but it does not solely define us or our actions.  We are a sum of all the things that makes us.  And at the same time, we are beautiful, amazing, and valid for just being alive as any other thing in nature.

Solar System highlights:  The Moon starts in Capricorn – focus on getting things done on material plan. Then on Tuesday it moves into Aquarius – use your intellect and thinking outside the box is needed.  The Moon then finishes in Pisces for the weekend – follow your dreams and soul’s desires. Mercury is in Scorpio – the focus is passion and letting go of forms of communication that no longer work for you.  Venus is in Capricorn – where beauty and harmony are achieved with practicality.  Mars is in Scorpio – desire is in the air, as well as, it is a great time to finish up projects.  And lastly, Jupiter and Saturn are in Aquarius – so innovating and upping your game is their focus until end of December.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Scorpio this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Taurus it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.

May light be on you, around you, and within you,

Five of Cups – The Muse of Spilled Milk is here to remind you that every mess you encounter this week is not your responsibility.  Yes, you have things that need cleaning, but this Muse reminds you that some problems are meant for others to deal with.  So, your challenge is to see why you are doing it.  Are you avoiding your own messes?  Do you like the attention even though it is co-dependent?  Or is it if not you then who?  Focus on your mess only this week.

 

Virgo
Artemisia Gentileschi

Two of Swords – The Muse of Decisions is here to help you make more aligned choices.

Three of Wands – The Muse of the Productive Waiting has arrived reminding you to use this time and space to prepare for what is about to happen.  For example, if you were going on vacation in 2 weeks, pack now and you might find that you need a new bathing suit.  Something needs to be done while you are waiting for the next thing to happen.
