The hero theme has continued in my ponderings this week. I have noticed that the theme of superheroes has escalated since 2000. Let’s just look at what’s on Hulu/Netflix TV line up right now: Flash, Green Arrow, Heroes Reborn, Stitchers, Shadow Hunters, Legends of Tomorrow, Agents Of Shield, Agent Carter, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, with nine more in the works for 2016. And then the movies: Ant-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Fantastic Four Series, The Avengers Series, Spiderman Series, X-men Series and that’s just to name a few. A friend of mine has this fun and enlightening exercise about super heroes that I would like you all to try this week. 1) Identify at least three of your super powers. 2) Give yourself a super hero name. 3) Identify what is your kryptonite. (I recommend doing this with someone. They can help you think of things. Because sometimes we don’t see our own amazingness. Also, for fun I have listed two superheroes to give you a starting point.)
P.S. One more day left with Mercury in retrograde. Remember signs that have * it’s a big week for you.

Aries – Ten of Pentacles- Hope you found some solitude last week because this week is full on. This is a week to get things checked off your to do list. With the Ten of Pentacles in your court, things will get easier and easier as the week progresses. Superheroes- Wonder Woman and Superman

Taurus – Knight of Cup- The Knights means movement and Cups are emotions. So last week you had some time to use your imagination. This week experiment with and get a moving on some of those ideas…and always remember to follow your heart. Your heart will lead you down better paths this week then your head. Superheroes- Vixen and Daredevil

Gemini – Nine of Cups- Last week’s e challenge was to learn to add a little fun in to your life. The Nine of Cups is giving you another week to intertwine fun with your work. The challenge is to realize that you don’t have to be at work and then flip a switch and be at play. If you are doing it right, this week’s work should have some play in it and play should have some work in it.. Superheroes- Tankgirl and Gambit

Cancer – Seven of Swords- This week Seven of Swords reminds you that there is still work ahead. However, there will be a lull in the work flow this week or if there isn’t, make time so there is. During that lull take a bit of time to see what you have already accomplished. This card’s challenge is about pace yourself and not add to your to-do list. Don’t worry – you can slow down a bit without losing momentum. Superheroes- Devi and Wildcat

*Leo – The Hangman- The Hangman is a card of stagnation. Sometimes this stagnation is driven by you and sometimes it’s driven by your environment. This week I think you will find that things are not going to go as planned, like an extended Mercury in retrograde for you. So it’s not you. However, I hope you will use this time to gain a new perspective on what’s inert in your life. If you are having a hard time finding a new way to look at a situation, try standing on your head or sleeping with your feet where you usually put your head for a night. Superheroes- She Hulk and Doctor Strange

Virgo – Three of Swords- The Strength card’s motto from last week’s “you are enough” will be put to the test this week. The Three of Swords warns you that there are three thoughts that are messing with your emotions. Usually these are negative thought patterns that you need to deal with for example “I’m dumb” or “I’m Unlucky”. If you can pull these thoughts out of your mind, then you will stop doubting your intuitiveness. Superheroes- La Lunatica and Hellboy
Libra – Four of Rods-This week try to spend some quality time at home. Your home life is needing some of your tender care. This could be redecorating a room or wall, spending quality time with loved ones at home, and/or just sitting in your living room with a beverage and a good book or movie. Superheroes- American Maid (look her up she’s great) and Luke Cage

*Scorpio – The Star – Yes- Mental Mantra- Score. Ok, you all did you hard work-mental mantras in hand. Welcome to 2016. The Star brings enlightenment and guidance in your life. This mantra is your north star. The thing that will help you navigate your best course this year. And the work you have done will continue to enlighten your path. (If you are new to my tarotcast go back and read my 5 last Scorpio tarotcast I think this is really important work for you to do) Congratulations, and bask in the starlight. Superheroes- Dawnstar and Kyle Raner

Sagittarius – Seven of Pentacles- Last week I hope you had time to prioritize and strategize which items will be the first things you check off this year’s to do list. Because this week is all about “to do”. The Seven of Pentacles means work. The challenge for you is to get enough sleep and eat well while doing it. You will need to replenish yourself, so you can keep up with the pace. Superheroes- Philippus and Nakamura Hiro

Capricorn – Nine of Pentacles- Last week you hopefully got to pull back emotional from people. If you didn’t I think this week’s card is really re-recommending you to do so. This week your best work is done alone. The challenge is that people like to knock on closed doors, so work on not answering – without guilt. Superheroes- Invisible Woman and Black Panther

Aquarius – Eight of Pentacles- This is a week is a week to do what you know. So, work on projects that you are already engaged with or on your to do list. In so doing, you might find there is more to add – but the challenge is not to start anything new this week. Recognize and stay focused on what is already in the works. Superheroes- Zealot and Silver Surfer

Pisces – The Five of Rods- I hope the last week wasn’t too hard with The Tower card. This week I think you will still be dealing with the aftershocks of Mercury in retrograde and The Tower card from last week. So, be careful with your wording with other people; they may not understand what you are talking about. The challenge: Don’t take it personally- just listen and if necessary reword what you are trying to say. They will get it eventually as long as you stay calm. Superheroes- Elektra and Rorschach
