Happy Leap Year. Leap year happens every four years to recalibrate our solar calendar with the season. There is a tradition that is associated with leap day. Woman can propose to men on February 29. Legend says this tradition came from St Bridget complained to St Patrick that woman had to wait too long to for suitors to propose. So they struck the deal that woman could propose on February 29 every four years. Got to love the Irish ladies for taken control of their destiny. I loosely have my own tradition, on February 29. I think and journal about where I want to be in on the next leap year. I feel like it recalibrates my destiny. 😉

P.S. Remember signs that have * it’s a big week for you in the tarotcast.

Aries- Eight of Rods – Wow you all are moving through the rod’s suit- first Five, then Six and now Eight of Rods. So the good energy you put out the past two weeks is coming back to you. Especially look for news in email and snail mail.. The challenge is ideas, information and news will be coming at you fast this coming week just make sure you keep your goal(s) in focus.

Taurus – Queen of Cups- This week the Queen of Cups is here to remind you that all work and no play is fine if you find joy in the work. If not then it is time to step back and find what or who is sucking the joy out of your work life and do something about it. The Queen of Cup’s challenge is to find a way to do it without hurting anybody’s feelings including your own.

Gemini – Eight of Swords – Last week you and the High Priestess were processing information. This week the Eight of Swords is reminding you that you have to be careful about over processing. This week’s challenge is to let go of processing in your conscious mind and let your subconscious work on it instead. It doesn’t have the mental blocks or circles your waking mind seems to be leaning on

Cancer – Knight of Rods – Last week’s challenge was to move one bigger “to do” off your list. This week without that big weight on your shoulders – you have the Knight of Rods. The knights challenge you to keep moving towards your goals. And the rod tells you when you feel depleted to do something that creates some awe in your life- watch the clouds roll by, hike, be by water, sing, dance, art anything that connects you back your spirit.

Leo – Ten of Swords – Ok so the past few weeks you have been advised to pay attention to the people around you, how they help/harmed you in your life and how their qualities could also resonate in you. And this week the Ten of Swords is telling you to heed that knowledge that you have learned or it will come back and bite you.

Virgo – Four of Pentacles – Last week’s big question was: What road are you going to take? With the Four of Pentacles this week, you need to take some more time to answer that question. I know this February has been a busy month for you; however it’s leap year you have an extra day, try to use the time to slow down and answer – What road are you going to take?.

Libra – Ten of Cups – Ok last week was a heavy week and weekend for you all. It has been non-stop. And this trend continues but the Ten of Cups challenges you to step back and gain some perspective. You have a lot to be grateful for. For example look at all the support you got last week to get you through it. Try to find some time to nod to all the good things that are in your life.

Scorpio -Four of Pentacles – Last week ‘s message about balance, patience, and timing continues on with the Four of Pentacles. Last week you needed practice juggling two things at once before adding more. I advise you to continue with just doing two or three things at one time. The Four of Pentacles is warning you if you add a fourth, something important will be neglected or overlooked. And I’m afraid this is not a week to delegate that fourth thing either. You have to keep your eye on all the balls.

*Sagittarius – Magician- Wow, another big week for you. You all are now on the same page and have a good idea of what your desires are. Now the Magician’s challenge is to assess if you have all the tools to get you what you desire. This week this take time to line up all your tools to get things done. Samuel T Coleridge said it best. “He who is prepared can serve best his moment of inspiration.”

Capricorn – Five of Rods- Ok, more distractions this week but they come from outside sources and not your own mind. Your challenge is to stick to your guns and keep your integrity intact. People this week will be trying to push your boundaries and buttons to distract you from your life’s goals and ethics. Better to walk away from confrontation this week. If you can’t do that, start wearing your psychic armor for the week, let their pushiness flow over you without leaving a mark.

Aquarius – Ace of Rods/Five of Cups-This is a two card week for you all. The last couple of weeks have been busy for you, but you made it through with more strength and integrity. This week things you had planted/started in the fall are starting to emerge. At the same time, you will be needing to let go of or walk away from emotional issues that you found out in the past two weeks just don’t work for you anymore.

Pisces – Page of Pentacles- The Page of Pentacles is the student card. This week take your time and learn about a situation or idea before you act on it. The best thing to do with Page of Pentacles is to take tiny thought out steps. If you don’t you will have to learn from your mistakes and the process will actually take longer.

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