Mother’s Day… I’m thinking about all the people who Mother’s Day maybe hard to celebrate. I’m thinking of all the mothers who have lost children. I’m thinking of my friends and others that have lost their mothers. I’m thinking of those people who have a hard relationship with their mom, or mothers that have tense relationships with their children. I’m thinking about all of those that have chosen not to be a mother, like myself. You should be celebrated too because you choose an alternative way to give that energy. And I’m also sending energy for all those who want to be mothers. May you find mothering with ease.
I’m lucky, I have a wonderful relationship with my Mom. She is the person I learned unconditional love from. She is the first best-friend I ever had. I learned strength from her and laughter. I learned it was okay to be an intelligent woman and to choose to live a life outside of the norm.
We all have someone who was that for us – a teacher, a dad, a dog, an aunt, a sister, a friend. Toady take a moment to see that spirit that held that mother-energy for you. Celebrate that entity or even Mother Earth for taking care of you. Mother’s Day to me is a celebration of the creative, caring, and comforting feminine energy that is not attached to gender, sex, color, species or any specific outside packaging. It is a celebration and a commitment to foster love in the world. May you all sit in that energy of love and warmth today.
P.S. Please share.
*Aries – Tower
I see why you needed your rest last week, you got the Tower card for this week. The Tower’s challenge is about change in which we have no control over. The best way to deal with this card is to react as if you are either surfing or kayaking white waters. Know you cannot stop the force of the water but you can navigate it without danger by subtly shifting your stance or dipping in your oars.
Taurus- Four of Pentacles
The Four of Pentacles challenges you to save your resources this week. Whether that is your time, space, or money, you can identify what is precious with how it feels when you are limited by it. It is a great time to start saving but be aware not to be miserly to those close to you.
Gemini – Queen of Swords
Last week, the Chariot asked you to make a simple or complex change to your life and to pace it according to how you want your life to flow. The Queen of Swords continues this theme by challenging you to plan out how to make the change long-term.
*Cancer – High Priestess
The High Priestess challenges you to work on your intuition skills. You will gain more insight when you step back and look at the big picture then to focus on details.
Leo – Ten of Cups
The Ten of Cups is the party card of the deck and it doesn’t come up too often. This card challenges you to have a good time.
*Virgo – Hanged Man
The Hanged Man is the card of stagnation, side projects and spiritual quests. Take the down-time this cards brings to you to go off the beaten path and tend to your spirit to find peace and stillness. This can look like mediating at a Zen garden, or taken a left turn when you want to go right.
Libra – Five of Cups
Be careful of melancholy this week. When the Five of Cups shows up it challenges you to find two things good in every “bad” thing that happens. There are lessons for you in losses this week.
*Scorpio – The Emperor
Last week, the Wheel gave you the choice of changing your fortune by saying yes to opportunities. The Emperor continues this by having you build on things you said yes to and found that you like it. This can look as simple as building a friendship that started last week, or as complex as building on that new business idea.
*Sagittarius – Nine of Pentacles and Tower
This week is all about your choices. Last week you had two big karma cards of Judgment-evolution and the Star – healing and hope. The theme of choosing to heal the past to pave the way to the portals of evolution continues this week. For those of you that choose or are chosen for the Tower, you still will have to deal with healing but you will have released the pace or outcome of that change/evolution. For those who choose to take the slower more controlled path the Nine of Pentacles challenges you to pull back from the world and contemplate what to do next.
Capricorn – Six of Pentacles
The Six of Pentacles continues the theme of last week’s World card looking for opportunities that lead to the next phase sometime after mid-July. Remember last week challenging you to make your micro-cosmos represent your macro-cosmos. The Six of Pentacles challenges this at a karmic level. For all the good little deeds you put out in the world, they will come back to you three-fold in your macro-karma however so does the negative. So this week open doors for people, say thank you, or make someone cookies just because it is a nice thing to do. Be careful not to purposely offend someone, flip someone a bird on the road, or in general be aware of your material, spiritual and emotional footprint.
Aquarius – King of Cups
The King of Cups wants you to master your emotions. This King has you look at how you emotional deal with the outside world. Your challenge – to open up and reveal a bit of yourself to acquaintances.
Pisces – Four of Wands
The theme of last week’s Magician card bringing in the divine to the material world continues this week. Refine your focus to your home and home life, so this week your challenge is to focus on projects at and about your home. You will feel more at ease and accomplished in the outside world if your home is in order.
May light be on you, around you, and within you,

Science says that rest is a valuable component of your health regime and the Four of Swords recommends you will need it. The Four of Swords also challenges you actually to not push anything through this week.
The Two of Cups recommends applying your energy to deepen your close relationships. Our emotions are set into memory with our senses. So look in your love ones’ eyes, breathe in their scent, touch them with love, and listen to their feelings behind their words. 
The Ten of Wands warns you not to take more on this week. You have more than enough on your plate as it is. Your hint: Be aware of obligations that sprout from guilt. If it does, don’t do it.
The Ten of Pentacle is about completion that creates success. This week focus on projects that are near completion. For now ignore projects that have just started or take on anything new this week. 
The Page of Swords represents the act of gathering information and doing it subtly. This info is important to your future; however, gather your intel more behind the scenes than usual.
The Seven of Cups represents imagination and dreams. Take this week to envision imagine your dream goals. Use all your senses to conjure up what it will feel, smell, sound and look like.
This week you will come to a cross-roads. The Two of Swords tells you now is the time to trust your intuition and make a decision. You have been going back and forth long enough. The funny thing with this card, no matter which road you pick you will end up in the same place. This card is about the journey. The destination is already set.
The Sun card is still shining on you. Last week, the Sun foretold that something you started around February 18th needs tending again. The Nine of Wands is the card of preparation. This gives you another week to gather your resources and continue to work on last week’s project(s).
Whatever you learned last week with the Page of Pentacles the Queen now wants you to start move forward with what you have learned. This Queen is the kinder less pressing version of the Empress. Anything you create this week will be more helpful in the short-term rather than the long. And remember help is help in any form.
The Page of Wands tells you that your energy is being drained. To ignite your passion again take a romp in the woods, color, go to a concert. These kind of activities are necessary to rekindle your fire.
The Hanged Man comes when inertia sets in and there is nothing to do but wait it out. The best way to handle a Hanged Man week is either to go totally off course and do a short project, or to look at what is on your plate now with a different perspective. This is not a week to start anything.
Yippee you all finally get a break. The Ten of Pentacles card says that you have done a good job these past four weeks and it is time to bask in your success. You get this week off so enjoy what you have sown.
Last week, the Justice card challenged you to see how to champion justice with the mind and spirit and not with the heart and sword. This week, the Moon card is having you investigate and add integrity to the mix. The Moon is about things that are hidden, coming to light. So you will start to see that the Justice you sought last week is becoming illuminated. The big challenge with this card is to make sure the justice you serve isn’t backed by the dark side of the Moon – the subconscious and/or overly emotional motives. So the clearer you are of why you are championing this cause, the better protector you will be.
The Sun continues to shine for you this week with the focus of the Ten of Wands. You have come to a place where you have completed something but you are not letting it go. Is this the perfectionist in you? Or are you afraid of where to go next? The Ten of Wands challenge is to release the projects that are finished, so you can continue growing the things that actually need work.
The Eight of Pentacles is the card of mastery. Your challenge this week is to master a skill. This week is all about practice, practice practice.
Okay, this is an interesting week for you all. You got the Star which is the card of hope and success. and you got the Ten of Swords which is not listening to your instincts about people who end up hurting you. So your big picture is you are on the right path, keep going, and follow the Star, and then in the details “beware of enemies bearing gifts.”
The Strength card last week seems to be your birth year card, so throughout the year you will be tested or learn ways to strengthen all aspects of your life. The Strength card energy this week is with the King of Pentacles. This card wants you to strengthen the activities that ground you. This King asks you if you don’t believe in what you do for money than why are you doing it? And if you do than be proud of the path you have chosen.
The Queen of Pentacles is all about healthy indulgences and creating spaces of comfort. Do things that pamper you this week. The more you do for yourself the more you will be ready to be there for others.
The Sun continues to shine this week for you with the focus on home life. The Four of Wands challenges you to make your home a place where people and things can grow. This is a great week to Spring Clean or bring nature into your abode. Throw open your windows no matter the temperature you need to let some fresh air into your life.
This is the second time the Sun has “shone” up for you this year. Look back and see what you started around February 18th that needs tending again. The Sun foretells that you will find success in what you have started. If things aren’t growing or moving, this means you are missing only the last piece to the puzzle and with the light of your conscious mind you will find it.
The Page of Pentacles declares that this week you should spend your time hitting the books. The challenge is to be open to learn something new. You will find that you will need that knowledge in your near future.
The Three of Cups challenges you to go get your friends and hang out this week. Yep that is right your challenge is to enjoy this week. Since this card has shown up twice this year, seems you need to hang out with friends more constantly.
You are carrying too much again Libra. Time to let go of some of your duties and obligations. The Ten of Wands warns that you have chosen to take on more burden then is necessary or healthy. Lighten your load this week. Even letting go of one thing will make you feel better.
This is the fourth pivotal week in your life. Last week Death returned to push you to learn how to work with the environment to make change that sticks. Now the Devil is here in all his glory trying to divert you from that path. This week people, events, environment, and even that little voice in your head will try to sidetrack you. Keep strong. Keep to your integrity. And Keep moving forward.
Justice is the card of fair play. Here is the interesting thing with Sagittarius and the Justice card, you both believe in fairness and equality and are willing to fight for it. But Sagittarius, like their forebears the centaurs, you have a bit of a wild streak. When you think you are right, well, you all can get a bit fiery about it. Where Justice card many times teaches us to let karma take its natural course. So your challenge this week is to see how to champion justice with the mind and spirit and not with the heart and sword.
Success is on the horizon for you. The Sun is here to help you grow anything you put your focus on. The question is where do you want to direct your gaze first? This is a big karma card so take your time but don’t let your dreams wither away with indecision.
The Queen of Cups is all about the 3 Cs: calm, compassion, and comfort. The challenge is to make sure you have at least two out of the three first then you can spread it around.
The Ace of Cups of cups heralds the beginnings of emotional fulfillment. The challenge with this card this week is seeing that no matter how full the cup that it is “good to the last drop.”
This week will be easier if you fortify your inner strength. Now I’m not suggestion drinking for courage especially for anyone with an addictive personality. You should work on having habits in place that ground you and give you courage in more positive ways. But if a glass of wine, chocolate, or binge watching BadLands grounds you can do it without guilt, but only this week.
Since mid-March you all have actually been in a good place. The Knight of Wands is confirming that even the hardships you have gone through are starting to make sense and you are seeing the purpose behind the movement. Your challenge is to keep moving and know you are on the right path.
