Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of July 25, 2021

July 25, 2021 Nina

Happy birthday month Leo!

This week’s artist is Peng Wei @pengwei_weipeng. Wei uses classical ink and painting techniques on rice paper. Though as the viewer examines more closely you see that there is always a twist. She applies them on torsos, inside shoes or presents them in “playful combinations of harmony and discord”. For instance, her shoes are titled a Beautiful Pair and show a couple in an intimate embrace but in the next insole another figure interacting with the woman. Or she presented her landscapes on musical stands accompanied by calligraphed translations of Chopin letters to friends with erotica played in the background. She has the viewer questioning our surface perceptions and therefore has us questioning who we are and what the world expects us to be. Your pondering for the week what are your assumptions and how do they guide you in your perception of reality?

Solar System highlights: Moon starts in Pisces – keep on dreaming. Then moves to Aries on the 28th – great time to start or finish tasks. It then ends in Taurus on 30th – this is where it is exalted- good vibes wherever you focus. Mercury is still in Cancerian a great time to express your emotions and have deep convos with your besties. It then goes into Leo on 27^th great time for PR and making yourself shine.

Venus is in Virgo this can be a hard configuration around your relationships, so watch frustrations and critical talk – patience is key. On the positive side a great time to weed and fertilize anything you want to grow or create space for. Mars is in Leo until the 29th, so continue manifesting your desires, then switch focus as it goes into Virgo – time to clean and tidy up anything. And I just want to remind everyone that Jupiter returns to Aquarius on the 28^th, so until then it gives you a window into 2022, so if you do not like what you see, time to start making changes. After that it is back to the drawing board innovating and upping your game for the rest of this year.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Leo this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Aquarius 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

Aries

Eight of Swords – The Muse of Bondage has come to teach you a lesson of limiting beliefs. You have allowed societal thought patterns to hold you back. Now is the time to let go of those now self-restricting patterns and walk with autonomy to your true north.

Taurus

Five of Swords – The Muse of Conflict has come to your door with boxing gloves in hand. This week is full of conflict, but also the potential for resolution to situations that have bubbling under the surface. The key is how and what you choose to fight for. You are advised by this muse to come at each round with a deeper understanding of your opponent’s fighting style and navigate if it worth the fight for the long game?

Gemini

*The Fool – The Muse of New Beginnings is here to divinely guide you to your next endeavor. This is a great week to explore your surroundings, experience something new, start a class, start anything. The challenge she poses in that you must have faith. Even if things seem to not work out as you have planned, there is a divine scheme that is in place. Trust.

Cancerian

Ten of Wands – Finally the Spotlight has moved off and you can go back to you doing you. However, don’t forget this year’s theme is about creating structures that promote contentment, sustainability, and stability. Your challenge is to remain flexible and innovative so as you grow so does your “shell.” But this week the Muse of Burdens has come to try and knock you off course with obligations and responsibilities. Your goal is to par down your workload to only things that are necessary to your themes above. Let go of the obligations that society or your worrying is trying to put on you.

Leo

Three of Wands – Last week the Muse of Death had you cleaning your decks for the coming year. Well, this week that energy continues with The Muse of Forethought. Put your thinking cap on and start looking at the steps you will need to take to make this coming year all that it is meant to be. She also emphasis that you will need space to allow new things into your life. So, the first step is setting up the space to think, so you can simplify your surroundings.

Virgo

*Hierophant – Last week the Muse of Higher Purpose has come to remind and/or deepen your commitment to the many reasons you are here on this plane at this time using synchronicities and cycles to help guide you. Now her partner has joined the ranks emphasizing that you need rituals and structures set up, so you doing your purpose comes with more ease. Your challenge is to set up the constructs that support your desires and destiny. Look at your schedules, self-care regime, and workload.

Libra

Three of Cups – Last week the Muse of Bondage came to help you find freedom. Asking what are you “wedded” to that just feels wrong? This Muse lovingly reminded you that these bindings were beneficial for time to soothe yourself or make it through tough times. But now you have learned healthier ways to combat these struggles. One of these ways is gathering good friends around you. This week it is time to cull the herd if any of them do not support the new you.

Scorpio

Four of Coins – The last couple of weeks you have been dealing with the Kali like energy of Deconstruction. You needed to dismantle what was no longer working for you. Now it is time to rebuild; however, your challenge is using your resources wisely. This week is very much about quality versus quantity and working smarter not harder.

Sagittarius

Three of Coins – The Muse of Cooperation is here with two more friends. This muse prophesizes that networking and bouncing ideas off colleagues will be vital to create ease on your work front or any other material plane concern. She reminds you that you do not need nor should do this week’s task alone. Also, look for triangles and threes as markers of good tidings.

Capricorn

Page of Swords – The Muse of Investigation comes with notepad in hand. This week nothing is clear cut. You will need to ask questions to get to underlying issues. The challenge is crafting questions and ponderings that don’t shut down your investigation. This week takes a lite touch and good listening skills to get at the truth.

Aquarius

King of Swords – The Muse of Long-Term Planning asking you to ponder where you want to be in 10 years. She does this not to get you to set things in stone, but to realign your actions to desires for your future self. Finding what is off kilter in what you do today will ensure your tomorrow and taking the long view will help you recalibrate.

Pisces

*Lovers – The Muse of Duality has come to your backdoor and let herself in. Her favorite pastime is to point out the paradoxes and conundrums in your life. Like Gemini, Pisces deals with duality all the time, but instead of feeling comfortable with them working at the same time, you try to deal with them separately. However, this is the week to start dealing with double truths, or conflicting wants like: stability and freedom, love and frustration, happy and sad etc.…Try to think of these dualities like salt and pepper; if you use both, your cuisine becomes better flavored.

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of June 20, 2021

June 20, 2021 Nina

Happy Summer Solstice, Happy Birthday to all you fellow Crabs out there and Happy Father’s Day. There is a lot happening today. Let’s take the celestial portion first. Summer Solstice happens every year and marks the beginning of the summer, or winter depending on which hemisphere you live on. It is the one of two times the Earth is farthest away from the Sun within a year. During this season, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun to get the most rays and the Southern to get the least.

On this day, the Sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Cancer hence its name; however, it has been over 2,000 years since the Sun enter the constellation for Cancer on solstice. This is because of a motion of Earth called precession, the sun is always moving along the zodiac. The cycle of this movement is 26,000 years long. The sun moves toward the west. Thus, relative to the zodiac’s backdrop of stars, the sun on every solstice appears a bit westward of the previous year’s solstice sun. So, this solstice the sun is actually entering Taurus.

And lastly today is Father’s Day. A shout out to all those men out there that co-parent or single parent the next generation. Above pic is a male Cardinal fish that holds the eggs in his mouth until they hatch. He doesn’t eat for about a month while they mature. And below are other father’s in the animal kingdom that take a larger part of the hatching/rearing of their young.

Planet highlights: Moon starts in Scorpio this week, so be in touch with your sensuality. It then goes into Sagittarius on 22^nd – great for discovering new things, and then ends in Capricorn – focusing on structures. Mercury is out of retrograde but still in Gemini until July 16th. So, time to make those revisions of the last two weeks live. Jupiter goes retro today, June 20. It does this cycle every 399 days and lasts 4 months. It is a great time to slow your roll but not to stop forward motion. Remember while it is in Pisces, until the end of July, this gives you a window into the energies that will be around you in 2022.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Cancer this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Capricorn 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

Aries

*Sun – This week it is time for you to shine. Take a step into the light. Feed energy only in the things you want to grow. But be aware, your fiery, all-action temperament does not give “shade” to those that are around you. Helping others shine adds to your shimmer.

Taurus

Six of Coins – The Muse of Charity has come to your door. This week the more positive energy you put into the world the more optimistic your surroundings become. However, this energy works with negative energy also. The lesson is what you feed is what grows.

Gemini

Six of Cups – The Muse of the Past is knocking around in your attic. This energy advises you to investigate your past for answers this week. You are playing out old patterns and you need to find where it all began to releasee or innovate out of them.

Cancer

Ace of Cups – Of course at the beginning of your birth month you get the Muse of Emotional Beginnings. This is a great week to make wishes on how you want this new year to feel. And then riff off that feeling and innovated on how to make it happen. This muse recommends finding a word to encompass that mood and write it somewhere that you can see it throughout this month.

Leo

Nine of Wands – The Muse of Commitment is asking you to spend this last month of your birth year tiding up looses ends, so you have a clean slate to start off on your birthday. All the tasks will not be completed within this months’ time. Boundaries are essential to create space and time to do this work. The more you deal with now the more energy and focus you will have to innovate the future.

Virgo

Knight of Swords – Last week the Muse of Taking Charge challenged you to create momentum in your life. She left you in charge of everything: the what, where and how to get to you closer to your destination. Well, you have another week to keep that momentum going; however, you need to slow down and think things through at each step. This is not a week to make rush decisions or fly by night moves. Thoughtfulness and patience are the skills you are utilizing this week to create ease.

Libra

Seven of Cups – The Muse of Dreams has arrived to boost you to imagine bigger. You have limited your desires in someway and this had left you feeling hollow. This feeling of scarcity has created a hungry ghost that uses anything to fill that space. However, if you follow your dreams that hunger will be abated.

Scorpio

King of Wands – The Muse of Inspiration has come to play with you this week. This is a great week to plan and start a modernization to drive you into your future. The challenge is thinking outside of the box and for the long term. It will take time for this to mature, but this week has the momentum to start the ball rolling.

Sagittarius

Eight of Swords – You are stuck in some part of your life/work and are clinging to a thought construct that does not work for you. The Muse of Theories is here to help you meditate revise or release what no longer serves you.

Capricorn

*Devil – The Devil card is one of your life cards, so that means this week has some karmic components to it. The sun is going into Cancer which is opposing your natal Sun. This happens every summer in June and July. It is a time to stand back, re-group and begin again. You are halfway through your birth year. Take this week to assess how far you come and readjust how you want to continue. This muse also challenges you to relax and slow down to do this evaluation correctly. As they say the Devil is in the details, but you need to modulate your speed to pay attention to the small.

Aquarius

Five of Swords – The energy this week brings with it a feeling of chaos and distraction, like a nest of bees outside your window. However, the Muse of Best Interests is here to keep you focus and on the right path. Your challenge is to stay true to your integrity and humanity. Go into any situation with the question: What is best for me and for the other person I am interacting with? And if those conflict enact compassion and compromise for the both of you.

Pisces

Nine of Swords – The Muse of Processing Difficulties has come to have a beverage with you. This week has a feeling of melancholy to it. Melancholy comes when one is having difficulties processing new situations by using old models of coping. Take this week to innovate ways in which you handle the troubles in your life.

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of June 6, 2021

June 6, 2021 Nina

Happy Pride Month! The artist this week is Marcos Chin @marcoschinart. Chin’s illustrations are vibrant! Vibrant is defined as full of energy and enthusiasm, quivering; pulsating, bright and striking. He draws the viewer into environments and turns the volume up a notch or three. Having the viewer wanting to jump in and join the parade of color. As an art form illustration often gets categorized outside high art.

This critique disregards the technical skill and imagination of the artist as well as turning a blind eye to the cultural significance of its form. This is why politics and advertising employ illustration to visual inform and create solidarity. Illustration like street art is the art of the people. There is not one person that has not enjoyed the artwork on albums, story books, T-shirts, or posters. Illustration is the Pied Piper of art and art appreciation. This form brings vibrancy to our lives and sparks our imagination. Illustrators need as much highlighting and fanfare as any gallery artists.

Of course, I am a tarot reader that relies on illustrations. To tarot readers illustration is a gateway into the soul’s journey. I believe this is why we collect decks. Each deck is another interpretation of the soul’s path. Each deck increases our knowledge and therefore our skill as a reader. And yes, Chin has some illustrations of tarot cards (see the last three pics) but no deck. So need I say, tarot lovers lovingly hound this fellow to make more.

Planet highlights: We have a New Moon in Gemini with a solar Eclipse on June 10th. And Mercury is still retrograde in Gemini until June 23rd. So, make time and space for snafus and do the 3 R’s: Review, Reflect and Revise. Pay attention to triggers this week, for eclipse time gives us hints on where to heal and fix what is not work. Mars goes into Leo on the 11th. While it’s still in Cancer chat with your emotions so when the fiery planet goes into Leo you can work on your sovereignty and resilience without getting hurt. For with Mercury still retro spats can occur, so remember check your ego. Also, Jupiter (expansion) is in Pisces until July 28^th giving you a heads up what your 2022 will be like and what area your growth will take place.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Gemini this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Sagittarius 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

Aries

Ace of Cups – The energy of love surrounds you this week. Your cup spillth over. Employ this energy to refresh yourself and the ones you love. This is a new beginning; how are you going to use the power of love and spread it?

Taurus

Three of Swords – The past two weeks you have been working with the energies of Creation and Supportive Partnership. However, this week you are solidly in Mercury’s retrograde and the eclipse, so amid this creation process (remember this is an energy in play for the next 9 months), you might be triggered. The energy, this week is about healing deep wounds around self-worth, grief, and sorrow. This is a perfect time to pull back and do the 3 R’s to sort through the feelings of your shadow side.

Gemini

Eight of Swords – The Muse of Boundaries has come to break down limitations that were set by others and create more healthy boundaries that do not constrain you. This is a great exercise for Mercury and eclipse energy this week. Take this time to see what thought patterns are holding you back and let them go.

Cancer

*Death – The Muse of Letting Go is here to clean your literal and/or metaphorical closets so you can move into the next phase of your new birth year. By letting go of the decay you are creating fertile grounds for your new garden of delights. Go through closets, junk drawers, emotions, thoughts, and structures that are no longer of use or do not work well. This coming birth year is setting you up for an upgrade, so clear space.

Leo

*Empress – Last week the Muse of Justice and Truth came to aid you on setting boundaries and goals with the assistance of Mr. Flip if needed. Now with your new boundaries, goals and a helper if you get stuck you can start creating. The Muse of Creation has arrived, and she is asking for a 9-month comment to growing something in your life. Luckily, she is also giving you some time (until the end of this retrograde period) to play and nurture a few ideas before you commit. So, crayons out, vision boards up and have some fun.

Virgo

Six of Swords – The Muse of Tiny Excursions is here to help you find the beauty of the intimate world around you. She asks you to take strolls in your neighborhood, investigate intimate venues, read a short story or poem to deep dive into a vignette of emotion. Her lessons are small and simple but holds as much profound as the large.

Libra

*World – The Muse of Success is knocking. Success is defined as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. What have you accomplished since June of 2020? Take this week to tie up loss ends and to celebrate your triumphs. Examine what you have created as your legacy. What is going to reverberate into the World because of you? For these coming months will bring you new opportunities to build upon what you have already started or start a new adventure with a clean slate.

Scorpio

Two of Cups – Relationships are the theme this week. This energy is all about equity in relationships. Are you getting your cups filled by others around you and are you doing the same? If the people around you aren’t supporting, then it is time to cut the chords and spend that energy on the people that do.

Sagittarius

Seven of Wands – The Muse of Perseverance is here to help you continue the fight or a stance. You are on the right path even though it may feel like you are walking against the wind solo. Yes, something is off but that just means there is more work to do on this project or where you are at. Keep on keeping on.

Capricorn

*Justice – The Muse of Fortune came last week to shake things up for inertia had set into someplace in your life. Now the Muse of Balance has come to settle your world back into some form of your “new normal.” The challenge with this Muses’ wisdom is balance is not the same as equity. The Goddess Maat knew that the good versus bad depended on circumstances. For example, a solider and husband who murdered his wife would weigh differently around killing. So, take note in how you judge situations, people, and yourself.

Aquarius

*High Priestess – The Muse of Intuition is here to bestow some information though she makes you work for it. This week look for patterns and synchronicities for they will lead you to gems of knowledge need in the coming weeks. She also is the Muse of your many purposes on Earth. So don’t be surprised if this egg hunt brings up doubts or confidences in what you are doing. She reminds you that one’s path does not need to be difficult to be worth it, but it does need your undivided attention.

Pisces

*Judgement – The Muse of Structures came last week to help you stabilize your life and work. You needed a clean and organized slate for the Muse of Evolution is here this week. It is still advised that you tweak the Feng Shu in your space and life but with the lens of making it a place where you can metamorphosis into the next phase of your life. To evolve into a better you, you need a nurturing space to cocoon in. Take time this week making your spaces and plans comfortable to grow in and into.

Tarotcast

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of May 2, 2021

May 2, 2021 Nina

This week’s artist is Betsey Batchelor @betseybatchelor. Batchelor is an artist’s artist. Some artists are meant to be followed not only for their art but because they are willing to show their process. Batchelor, maybe because she is a teacher, lets us into her process. She allows the viewer to see through her posts not only the finished piece, but a blank canvas, scraps of paper pinned to a wall, under sketches, daily practices, detailed parts of her work, and pieces in progress. Batchelor reminds us that art is work. That there are sketches, experimentation, and honing skills before an artist even gets to the white void. Then it is honed, thought over, reworked, mulled again or even abandoned.

The humanity of Batchelor’s Instagram is worth you following her, whether her posts remind fellow artists that what we love to do is messy, not just the polished perfection of a gallery exhibit or even our feeds. And for viewer in general that each piece we see takes hours of unseen work and adds another layer to the awe of art. As an artist or a viewer, it reminds us that the work itself is the life blood of the art and the artist. That the essence of art and life is the work, not just the goals and successes. This week ponder this quote by Aristotle. The aim of art (and Life) is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

Planets: Mercury enters Gemini on the 3^rd and stays until July 11^th . This is a place where it loves to hang so lots of evolutionary conversations can happen. And Venus enters Gemini on 8^th to help with the good vibes. The only challenge is being careful of over-promising or saying yes to everything.

*All pictures below are from Batchelor’s Instagram posts some are completed pieces some are just her “work.”

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Taurus this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Scorpio 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

Aries

Knight of Cups – The Muse of Sexuality is here to help you boost your libido. Whether you go shopping for new toys, trying new ways to excite all your senses, solo or with a partner. This week you should work on emotional switching on and stimulation of all kinds.

Taurus

*Empress – Your first big energy for your coming year is Creation. This energy is best when it is used to generate anything that nurtures, consoles, and promotes growth. The challenge is there is growing pains but there will also be compassion and comfort waiting in the wings to support you. And with all things that are extraordinary, it will take time to grow. So be patient with your self and whatever you begin growing in the coming year.

Gemini

Knight of Wands – The Muse of Perfect Timing is working with you this week. Good or bad you are in the right place at the right time doing the right thing, if you do you. Her only requirement is not to second guess yourself, for there is much to glean from this week.

Cancer

*High Priestess – You get another week working with your Shadow side. This Muse helps you see cycles and the bigger picture to work out old karmic patterns and snip their threads. Use ritual, meditation, singing bowls… to connect with your inner knowledge and outer guides. There are breadcrumbs in synchronicities and patterns, so keep all your six senses open.

Leo

*Devil – The Muse of Distraction is here to challenge you. She only shows up when you are near completion of a goal or learned lesson. The key is to say no or walk away if something does not feel right or in some cases too right. The positive consequence of this card is, if you renege this temptation, it will no longer have the hold it had before.

Virgo

Nine of Coins – This Muse has come to help you maintain your workflow and energy by keeping to yourself or only allowing a few supporters in. She advises that you create a sacred space and time so you can ponder your thoughts without any outside influences.

Libra

*Strength – Last week the Muse of Momentum asked you to use her energy to plot out your course for the coming month. This week, the Muse of Strength has come to help start and maintain that route. Often this energy comes to help combat apathy, misdirection, or self-doubt. She reminds you that you have come through trials before and are stronger and more resilient. This week is not about things being hard but about you seeing you can accomplish anything you set your heart (not your mind) to.

Scorpio

Ten of Cups– Another good week in store for you. Last week the Muse of Optimism and Success shone on all the wonderful things and opportunities that are awaiting you, if you want them and allow yourself to glow and grow. This week the Muse of Bliss reinforces that life has these beautiful moments of heaven on earth. The challenge with this energy is realizing that these moments are fleeting. It is important to thoroughly bath in their light when they come and recognize that you cannot maintain that ecstasy. So, do not to fret their passing but know they will come again. Your motto: Aloha and Mahalo

Sagittarius

*Temperance – The Muse of Balance and Moderation has come to work with you. She asks you to do a dive into what is not working and needs to be healed in both your inner and outer world. The conduit for the energy flowing between them is clog. So doing something like Tai chi, Feng Shu, balancing your nutrition, sweating, brainstorming, massage …will get you back into balance and a rhythm that is more suitable for you and your work.

Capricorn

Ace of Swords – The Muse of New Truths is calling on you this week. She comes with bountiful information to help you shift or create new paradigms. This week mind ON.

Aquarius

Nine of Wands – Last week the muses where all about creating things out of what seemingly is nothing or build on what already is. Using these energies for formation, moving forward and growing outward. This energy is still here this week to work with; however, you will need to pace yourself if you wish to accomplish anything. So prioritize, prepare for, and only work with the items on the top of your list.

Pisces

*Hierophant – Last week the muses were here to aid you in letting go of something to enable growth. This energy continues this week; however, you also get the assistance of the Muse of Structure. She advises that you look at and rearrange your timing and/or your priorities. When these two energies come together often your logic is off, like you are putting your cart in front of your horse or not realized the problem of contingencies. Step back and look at the frame/goals before painting the picture.

Tarotcast

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of April 25, 2021

April 25, 2021 Nina

Planets: There is a Full Moon in Scorpio tomorrow which lights up our shadow side and since it squares off with Saturn and Uranus things can get harsh. So, the next couple of days pull back, stay calm and work on yourself. Also, Mars just went into Cancer. That is not its favorite position, fire versus water, so things can get sensitive, but it is great configuration for anything that has to do with sprucing up your home, hanging out with family, or self-care.

This week’s artist is Pan YuLiang (Pan YuLin). Pan was one of the first woman artists in China to paint in Western style. However, until recently, her work was controversial for she painted or drew nudes instead of the traditional subjects for women at the time, florals, and still-life. Often having to pose as her own model. Even though she was appointed Dean of Western Art at the Shanghai Art Academy her nudes were often taken down at her shows in China. She permanently moved to Paris in late 1930’s and stayed until her death. Posthumously, she is getting the notoriety due to her, not only in China but worldwide.

Pan’s paintings combine the traditional lines of Chinese ink drawings and the bold colors of Fauvism. Her images much like Frida Kahlo’s show the strength and poetic gestures of women being woman. Through art expressing the concepts of feminism, celebrating the strong female image without extinguishing our beauty. She also worked in the disciplines of sculpture, watercolor and print making. In each she pursued the adage Finding oneself through our forefathers, yet not forgetting oneself in the past. So, I pose this pondering to you: how do you use your past without getting tethered to it?

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

Nina

Aries

Three of Wands- This week planning and preparation are the forces to work with. Spend Sunday looking at the steps that need to be done for a project in the future. The rest of the week set about working setting up and gather the materials so those steps can begin.

Taurus

Two of Cups – The Muse of Relationships is here to help you work on intimacy in yours. Take time this week to put energy into your close relationships. The challenge is you must also ask for equity from your partners. As you fill their cup so should they fill yours.

Gemini

Three of Cups – The Muse of Friendship is here to remind you that you need a solid hang with your friends. Your emotional cup needs spilling and filling. So, crying with grief or laughter is the prescription your heart requires, and only do it around those you can be vulnerable with.

Cancer

*Moon – Use this week’s full moon energy to its fullest. Dive deep into your shadow self and lovingly cajole some of your monsters/protectors to vacate your subconscious or begin metamorphosing into champions of the light. Remember, be kind to both yourself and them for neither of you like to be sternly confronted or pushed.

Leo

Queen of Swords – The Muse of Details is here to help you. By drilling down and focus on the details you can create enough energy to push through any inertia or apathy. One metaphorical or literal exercise is to clean your sink, groat in your shower, or the edge of baseboards with a toothbrush. Before you know it, you will bring out the bigger tools and clean the whole bathroom. By attacking one small to-do, it will start the domino effect needed to help you gain momentum to do more.

Virgo

King of Swords – The Muse of Long-term planning is here. This week is best to deal wit looking at the big picture of the whys. Take time to make sure what you are planning is still consistent with what you are wanting. Then spend time planning the how and when before working on the who and what.

Libra

*Chariot – The Muse of Momentum has come to help. The only problem she has the metaphorical gas but no car or plan. That is up to you to find. The best way to use this energy wisely is plot your course before you move, or you will be driving in circles all week.

Scorpio

*Sun– The Muse of Optimism and Success is here to shine on all the wonderful things and opportunities that are awaiting you, if you are wanting them. Life is on the path of getting a whole lot better, your work is to allow yourself to glow and grow.

Sagittarius

Three of Swords – The Muse this week reminds us with ever failure or loss comes a lesson, enhancing your resilience and sharpening your skills. There are messages in your mistakes, sadness, or pain. Do not turn away from these for there is a gem of truth and healing in each.

Capricorn

Page of Wands– The Muse of Artistic Experimentation has come to break you out of some restraint or inertia. Innovation is born out of trial and error. Try new recipes, combine new mediums, color outside the lines. The more you allow yourself the freedom to dabble with your mistakes the more you will revolutionize your paradigms.

Aquarius

*Empress and Emperor– The Muse of Creation is here with her companion the Muse of Building. So you can choose create things out of what seemingly is nothing or build on what is already there. It is a great week to start projects or drill down or getting a project to the next level. Either way this week is about using these energies for formation, moving forward and growing outward.

Pisces

Death – This Muse is here to aid you in letting go of something to enable growth this week. Something on your lists of to-dos or wants is no longer serving what the new you needs. So, reexamine your desires something is not working and needs to be chucked. This release allows new things you cannot even fathom the space to flourish.

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of April 18, 2021

April 18, 2021 Nina

My Dad died this week so this tarotcast will be a little different.

Above is my favorite picture of my Dad and I; however, it is also the summer we had two of our worst fights, one about a cat and the other about my schooling. I did not really talk to him for a full year after that, only answering in monosyllabic sentences when he called. Memories like these have been cascading into my conscious- some good many difficult. A friend said to me this week that complex relationships have complicated completions.

However, one subject where my Dad and I did have deep discussions, and also harbor my fondest memories, were around spirituality. These discussions started a year after this picture, the same year I started reading tarot cards.

Many people are drawn to tarot because of its visual presentation often its beauty. However, the real work is complex as this picture of me and my Dad, where there are both ease and challenges to learn from each card. The aim with tarot, discussions, life in general is being open to their lessons and learning the skill of exchange. These experiences define who we are and strengthen our spiritual core. So, I am not going to do my regular tarotcast this week, which is a bit of a monologue in this format. The pictures are from some of my favorite tarot decks, and each sign will get two words that references that card. And you choose which energy you want to exchange with this week.

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

Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of April 11, 2021

April 11, 2021 Nina

It is a New moon in Aries today. Since Aries starts the astrological wheel, this New Moon is about beginnings. The Ram is all about action, launching and creating the new, this week set goals, start projects, plant seeds etc… Also, the Sun, Moon and Venus will parley with Pluto which can highlight power struggles but also can gives us the tenacity to solve them.

This week’s artist is Richard Whadcock. Whadcock paints dream like landscapes. They transport the viewer to the pastural dewy dawns, foggy aftermaths of a storm, the misty breath of a cold lake… Having us ponder those times when we can see the potential, but nothing is yet fully in focus. Where we question and contemplate what we are actually perceiving. Navigating our surroundings more with our emotions then with tactile knowledge. Pondering the unknown and times of transitions.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Aries this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Libra 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

Aries

Eight of Coins – So first let’s sum up your big energies to work with this coming year. Your Muse energies are balancing excess, blending binaries, cultivate and assessing what intensity and focus to beam this energy with. And by doing this you can make leaps that take advantage of places that others cannot reach. And now this week’s Muse reminds you this will take work and you will be busy. But do not fret for you already have the primary skills to obtain these new heights. It is just about fine tuning your assets.

Taurus

Queen of Coins – Last week the Muse of Reflection reminded you of the cyclic nature of intention. That your higher purpose connects to your emotions which in turn supports your energy flow to carry out your purpose. This week’s Muse is more rooted in reality than the philosophical headspace of last week. This week it is hands-on energy or really your five senses on. You need some grounding after all that pondering, so this week use your five senses each day to integrate your ponderings into actions.

Gemini

Ace of Coins – Last week was creating plans, goals, and schedules for the next three months. This week’s energy helps put those plans into action. Remember this is just the beginning no need to rush. It is vital to create grounded foundations so you can build higher and better.

Cancer

Three of Swords – The Muse this week helps you connect with the emotions of sorrow, grief, loss, and disappointment. As a water sign you know that there are lessons and value in all emotions. Take time to come to an understanding with at least one of these emotions. Learn its lesson and then heal the wound.

Leo

King of Cups – The Muse of Emotions is here to help you celebrate your emotional depth and width. It is a great time to enrich your emotional IQ and befriend your emotional monsters. Your challenge is when working with these entities not to get triggered and let them drive the car. The poem Guest House by Rumi will aid with this skill.

Virgo

Nine of Wands – Preparation and defense is the name of the game this week. The more you are prepared for the day the more you can pivot, weave and swat away any hindrances. As they say the best defense is a good offense. So, carry protein bars, fill your gas tank up, leave 10 minutes early, etc.…

Libra

Queen of Cups – The Muse of Fun is visiting you this week. Reminding you that all work and no play makes Jack/Jill a dreary person. So, watch comedies or stand-up, tell bad dad jokes, dance in your room, share laughs as often as you can, for laughter is the best medicine.

Scorpio

Sagittarius

Two of Wands – Last week the muses asked what metamorphosis you would like in your work, purpose, life, and/or relationships, and to choose your pace in that innovation. Well luckily, you have another week to work on this pondering with the Muse of Future-gazing. This muse challenges you not to just think of what you want to achieve in the coming year but what do you want to be doing in five, ten, twenty years from now. You do not have to have a clear vision but at least a vague outline of the landscape will help.

Capricorn

Six of Cups – The Muse of the Past is here. This energy arises to give you information, but you will need to cull it from your memories. Whether you go through old journals, photos, or allow it to seep into your dreamscape find a way to spark this download.

Aquarius

*Temperance – The Muse of Moderation is here to help you navigate this week’s surges. She helps you blend desperation with patience, hopelessness with faith, and changes frustrating nothings and burdensome everythings into manageable somethings. Your work is to get enough sleep and subsistence to keep you even keeled.

Pisces

King of Coins – The Muse of Building Prosperity is here to do just that. This is a great week to look over your finances and create some action steps to increase your fiscal wealth.
