Emma Kunz was a healer and a reluctant artist.  She created these drawings by a process she called radiesthesia.  She used large pieces of graph paper, she would meditate visualizing a series of dots and lines and then with her pendulum beginning to draw the patterns with colored crayons and pencil.  Her drawings were not made as an artistic endeavor but to be used for medicinal purposes.  She often used them in her healing sessions.  Placing them between her and her patient as they visually walked through the designs.

Though now her work is seen as outsider minimalist art and has been displayed in galleries.  Her main body of work resides in a museum in Wurenlos, Germany.  She described her creative process as follows: Shape and form expressed as measurement, rhythm, symbol and transformation of figure and principle.

Aries

Three of Swords – Sorrow is in the air this week. This is the ups and downs of being human.  However, this kind of sadness brings with it an opportunity for forgiveness and a step to begin moving on.  There are three things to learn with this suffering.  Learn them and a begin the journey anew feeling lighter and enlightened.

 

Taurus

Six of Swords – You have just gone through a rite of passage. However, the path still is in a misty haze but now is the time continue on.  Don’t get stuck in the miasma.  To move forward the energy suggests simplification.  Even though the future is not so easily seen, the lighter your load- the simpler the solutions -the easier your journey.

 

Gemini

Five of Swords – The aftermath of this past Mercury in retrograde still has its tendrils of chaos in your communication land.  The energy this week is still full of disagreements and concealment.  The best way to disengage with this dynamism is surrender and compromise.  The disputes are really about ego, resentment and not worth your time.

 

Cancer

Ace of Swords – The energy in the beginning of this week has a sharp tone to it as we navigate out of this mercury retrograde.  This can lead to confusion and possible antagonism.  Situations cannot be dealt with by old ways of communicating.  Look for new ideas and ways to connect to bring clarity and eventually a breakthrough.

 

Leo

*The Tower – The energy this week is about shaking things up.  Pay attention. There are some cracks in your foundation, and they need to be tended to.  This can look as simple as eating better, getting 8 hours of sleep, or being more efficient with your time because you are overly critical or trying to fit into “normal” work hours.  To build stronger does not always mean with stagnate forces like brick and concrete, bamboo is strong and flexible. To go through an earthquake buildings are now being built on springs.  Find new ways to shore up your foundations that are more innovative and adaptable.  For instance, work two days a week for 12 hours, 2 for 8 hours and then you can fit in a 3-day weekend or make a protein packed smoothie for that forgotten meal.

 

Virgo

Five of Cups – This week’s energy has an air of regret and pessimism to it. The key to navigating this energy is realizing you can help solve the world’s problems by solving the ones in front of you first.  Clean up some mess around you and be grateful for what you have that is not in disarray. The lesson is you seeing the left-over cups are half full and ready to be filled to the brim.

 

Libra

Seven of Cups – When was the last time you laid around just daydreaming- letting your imagination flow?  The energy this week is allowing and advising you to do just that.   Your challenge is letting yourself dream big enough. To help with this process, instead of thinking of dreams as illusions and fantasy, see them as seeds spreading out in the wind planting mystery plants of unknown bounty.

 

Scorpio

Eight of Swords – The energy this week highlights where you are being wronged.  Whether this is self-affliction or allowing others to entrap you, this is the time for self-compassion about you allowing the harassment and strength to walk away from it without engaging in anger.  The situation is like a Chinese Finger trap the more you struggle the more you are entrapped, but if you disengage in the fight you can get out of the bindings of it.

 

Sagittarius

Two of Swords – Once Mercury goes out of retrograde on the 9^th or 10^th depending on where you are at, it will be time to make some choices. The challenge is thinking that the choice will solve the problem.  However, this week is about moving out of stagnation and avoidance and walking into the journey of discovery.

 

Capricorn

Knight of Wands – This week’s energy is all about adventure.  Take to the road, try new places, things to eat, look around for inspiration outside your normal environment.  The more you step out of the mundane the more you will get in touch with your passion, your joie de vie.

 

Aquarius

Queen of Swords – Last week change was in the air, but it was and is slow in coming. You were advised to take time to weed and till your soul’s soil.  Clearing blocks from your forward moment so the Universe has a clearer path to create the change that you are wanting and waiting for.  Well, lucky you this week’s energy gives you unbiased thoughts, clearer solutions and honest ideas to do just that.  The challenge is that it can come from not only your subconscious (look to your day and night dreams for clues), but it also can come from outside sources.  So, ears on and mind open Aquarius.  Focus on details not the big picture.

 

Pisces

*Lovers – You are at a crossroads in a relationship.  The energy around this week is making choices that involve, self-love, commitment and/or separation.  To truly be harmonious in a relationship you must love yourself first and then work on being your best self.  This is also true of the other person in the relationship. But they have free will and it is their responsibility alone to do that growth.  So, this energy reminds you that relationships are work and advises love yourself and the other enough to see that creation and growth can happen, but it is up to both of you to decide whether that is together or apart.

 

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