Tarotcast for the Week of November 4, 2018

Happy Birthday Scorpio.  The above is what I consider the cutest snake in the world; however it is venomous.  It is the tree dwelling bush viper found only in ancient rain forest of sub-Saharan Africa.

Scorpio is represented by a scorpion, eagle and/or phoenix, the only sign given multiple forms.  I sort of get the Scorpion part because of the constellation, but the personality of Scorpio and scorpions never really jived.  Scorpions are desert dwellers; Scorpio is a water sign.  Scorpions’ sting can cause death but don’t really portray Scorpios’ sexy and fun side. The sign of Scorpio also rules the underworld and transformation; though this is somewhat cover by the phoenix but it just doesn’t say scorpion. Scorpio is more than just the scorpion hence people attaching more animals real and imagined.

An animal that does jive better with Scorpio’s domains and personalities are snakes. Snakes can live in a variety of environments but they definitely can do water. ie: sea snakes, water moccasins, pythons etc… This portrays how Scorpios can fit in almost everywhere.  Snakes can be harbingers of death. However unlike scorpions, snakes are super sexy especially when they move. They also do the transformation and growth every time a snake sheds their skin.  Even if you look at the constellation you could easily see a snake instead of a scorpion. So what do you say Scorpios let’s change your animal to the snake. An animal that is as diverse as your own personality.

To help convince everyone I’m highlighting the adorable trend of Snakes in Hats which also proves my point how bad ass, funny and cute snakes like Scorpios can be all at the same time.

PS.S. Remember signs with an * it’s a big week for you.  And please share.

Taurus – King of Pentacles

Snakes in hatsThe King of Pentacles is the doer and builder of the lower arcane.  Take that energy he brings to you expanding on work, projects and anything that has to do with the material plane.  Your only challenge is not to “bulldoze” anything into existence.  So be careful how and what you are treading on to get to get things done.

Tarotcast for the week of Nov. 20, 2016

ultraviolet-scorpions

Well Scorpios, your birthday month is coming to a close. I would like to talk about your most known symbol (you have three: scorpion, eagle and phoenix). We know that scorpions fluoresce in the moonlight. Scientists have found that this blue-green glow comes from a substance in the thin coating of the scorpion’s exoskeleton. When scorpions molt, they loses their glow until the new hyaline layer hardens. Why a scorpion glows is still up for debate. The theories out there are: protection from sunlight, seeking out a mate or it might confuse prey. To humans and predators it is a warning to stay away.

This month Scorpion energies, just like the scorpion, illuminated the shadows of hurt and division that exist in the U.S. We cannot heal what we do not know is broken. We cannot see potential danger unless it’s lit. The shadow work we do in the Scorpio month is essential to see the reality of what is, so we can transform it into what we want it to be.

P.S. Remember, when signs have * it’s a big week for you. I have added some other pictures of animals that illuminate the dark.

Aries – Ten of Cups – Ten of Cups is the card of joy and festivity. This week create some lovely moments in your life and in the midst of a moment stop and really soak it in. Bask in each of your senses. This can look like Thanksgiving dinner – that perfect point when all is on the table, you have eaten about half your meal, and you relax into the communal chatter. Or for those who don’t celebrate T-day, take a break with a friend and chat over a nice cup of tea or a pint. This week, partake in the joys of being with others.

*Taurus – The Chariot – You will have to keep your work boots on for another week. However, The Chariot is about balancing work and whatever else motivates you for example family, friends, art, or food.   You will need to balance out the “shit that’s got to get done” and “cool I have time to enjoy this process.”   Use last week as a gauge of a “hard work” week. Then spend half the time this week doing the hard work and the other half doing the “I can’t believe I get do this” stuff. This week is about noticing and then balancing the gain with the pain.
