Above is the iconic photograph Glass Tears by Man Ray. He was born on August 27, 1890, a Virgo. Not only did he influence fashion photography, he was also a painter, film-maker, collagist and sculptor but as he said I have finally freed myself from the sticky medium of paint and am working directly with light itself. His exploration of photography and film became the birthplace in making his dreams a reality. I would photograph an idea rather than an object, a dream rather than an idea.
That freedom is seen in how he styles the photograph and plays with techniques. Like his technique of rayographs, placing a variety of objects and parts of himself and models on sheets of photosensitive paper and then exposing them to light. Where his image of a spring (see Sagittarius) highlights the concept of movement and three dimensions in one still image. He begs the viewer not to judge his work solely on technique or to just see the subject in one dimension but expand your awareness and curiosity by prompting you to ask the why within the image.
P.S. Remember signs with an * it a big week for you. Virgo this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Pisces it is your half way mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in now is the time.
Aries
Knight of Swords – Last week the Page advised finding out more information before moving forward. Now with that information, the Knight of Swords pronounces moving ahead but taking your time thinking before action. This is a week to slow down in general for you will miss vital information or missteps. This card’s practical application also warns, watch out that you don’t hurt your extremities. Look both ways when you cross the street. Curl your fingers in when you cut veggies and be careful when you are walking.
Taurus
*High Priestess – Last week the Chariot, card of change that you are sole responsible for, pulled up to give you another chance to make transformations happen around areas that you want to alter. Now the High Priestess shows up advising that you need to do some deep reference work on the how and why of your changes. The great thing about this card is, if you ask for signs from the heavens, she can scry you some answers either in your dreams, synchronicities or in deep contemplation. This can look as simple as you need a new plumber for that drip in your bathroom sink, you see a black cat in the window, then you google a plumber near you and see one named Black Cat Plumbing. Or as complex as doing dream work with your desires. Motto: Insight and inspiration comes from many sources.
Gemini
*Hanged Man – Last week, the Devil card came to test you on who you are and what you stand for. This week the Hanged Man keeps you in a purgatory like state to let you contemplate how you were triggered last week. You need to see the patterns and/or places that are working against you. You can blame your failure on others, or you can see that maybe the game you have willingly played is rigged. Time to figure out what really is important in your life and how you want to be seen in the world. Take this week to center back to who you really are.
Cancer
Eight of Coins – The Eight of Coins is the card of mastery. This week your focus should be around how to work smarter not harder. This week do not start new projects but tweak and oil what is already in process.
Leo
Eight of Swords – Your thoughts get in your way this week. The Eight of Swords advises to stop over analyzing a situation. If you let old thought patterns go, you will make room for feelings that are more helpful then harmful.
Virgo
Ace of Wands – Last week you all got your first big card for your birth-year, the Strength card. This card comes to help you ground yourself and acknowledge your resilience, self-compassion, and mental acuity. By 2020’s birthday you will feel more comfortable in you own skin. This week, the Ace of Wands joins the Strength Card having you strike the match to create passion in your life. This year has the potential for new beginnings. The question for you to answer is what is your deep desire? Then write it on a scrap of paper and burn it on the Virgo moon, August 28th or 29th. And then let the Universe finds ways to gift it to you in the coming year.
Libra
Page of Cups – Time to get out your rose-colored glasses. The Page of Cups advises to look at the events and people in your life this week with compassion and empathy. Everyone needs a little love. The challenge with this card is being vulnerable enough to receive the love back.
Scorpio
Six of Wands – The Six of Wands is the card of victory. Take this week to see all that you have accomplished and pat yourself on the back. The only challenge with this card is even though you deserve this break and win, be aware that the battle is not yet totally won.
Sagittarius
*The Magician – The Magician is the card of bringing the divine down into the material plane. It is a great week to create! This can look as simple as making an exquisite meal that delights the senses. Or as complex as writing the next great novel. Then only challenge with this card is that your creation must have meaning behind. This is not a week for mundane chores and to-do list. If you reach with a higher purpose you will be able to grasp the brass ring.
Capricorn
Page of Wands – The Page of Wands comes when you need to create or live with a flourish of passion. This card shows up to re-ignite your purpose and enhance your innovation. If you are not vibing with this energy or your muse has gone on vacation. Time to immerse your self in the arts, music or nature to realign yourself with your passion.
Aquarius
Two of Coins – This week can get out of balance. The challenge is figure out what you need to do to stop your internal and/or external vertigo. This card suggests juggling one thing well before picking up another. Or even better, don’t multitask at all this week.
Pisces
Queen of Wands – Last week the Tower, card of change coming from an outside source, shook up something that was not working. But if you were proactive in initiating the change, the Tower promised it would lessen the blow. So, if you did nothing and shit hit the fan, the Queen of Wands advises to use your intuition to help clean up the mess this week. If you did initiate the change, then she helps by staking out the easier path with the breadcrumbs of synchronicities. Making you surer of the path you are now on and more instinctive with every step. Either way your Spidey Sense is key this week.
May light be on you, around you, and within you,
Nina
Page of Swords – This week is about information gathering. The Page of Swords is the card of truth. Though to obtain that truth one will have to do some undercover work. When this card shows up ask questions and listen closely to the answers. The truth does not lie on the surface.
*Chariot – Lol, you all got the Chariot, card of change, two weeks ago. This repeat of cards happens for two reasons. Either it has come by again picking up where you left off, or you didn’t take up the reins last time and you get a do-over. The Chariot proclaims again that it is time to make transformations happen around areas that you want to alter, and it is your sole responsibility in powering that change. I highly suggest you take up the reins and make stuff happen. Life rarely gives us do-overs. Motto: Be the change you want to see in the world. Ghandi
*Devil – The Devil card comes when one is getting tested around who you are and what you stand for. This week plays out like finals week. You have gone through all the hardships. And now situations and people will test you around your resolves. This can look as simple as a co-worker asking you out for lunch when you are trying to save cash, or boss asking you to work another long day or weekend when your child hasn’t had time with you all week. Or this can be as complex as speaking up when you see/hear discrimination happening at the bus stop. You will have to walk your talk.
Six of Swords – The last two weeks have been all work and no play. This week the Six of Swords still has movement, but advises that you need to step back, gain some perspective and simplify your process/life. You need this paring down so you can be more focused. Also, this is a great week to hang in or around a water source.
Five of Wands – The Five of Wands ends your birth month with a bit of chaos. This week is just a hint of some things you need to focus on and straighten out in the coming year. On a positive note with all that isn’t working and bring chaos into your life this week, you have a whole year to lay the foundations and structures. By 2020 birthdate you can begin to create your empire on what you accomplish this year.
*Strength – Right out of the gate your first big card for the coming birth year. The Strength card helps you ground yourself and acknowledge your resilience, self-compassion, and mental acuity. This year you will have opportunities to show you how far you have come. That though you have been bent you have never broken. By 2020’s birthday you will feel more comfortable in you own skin. And to do so the best exercises are ones that keep you in your body. If you don’t have those practices this is the week to start them. This can look like doing body scan meditations each night, learning how to rock climb, or start journaling. Just find a way to notice how you walk and feel on the Earth in the day to day.
Eight of Pentacles – The Eight of Pentacles is the card of mastery or bettering your skills at how you make money. This week is not about learning new things but more about tweaking, so you work smarter not harder.
The Seven of Cups – Last week, the Hanged Man card of stagnation and inertia ruled the roost. This week with the Seven of Cups movement is still on hold. But where last week the goal was using the time-out enjoying whatever life brought you or listening in silence to your inner voice for some enlightened contemplation. This week’s card suggests your contemplation focusing on your dreams. The goal is to investigate if you are dreaming big enough while at the same time making sure you are not being delusional. Motto: head in the clouds – feet on the ground.
Five of Pentacles– Two fives in a row, so first lets stress fives represent chaos. So last week it was looking at emotional chaos. This week the Five of Pentacles are focusing on loss on the material plane. This can be as simple as you misplace your keys or wallet. But it also can be complex as loosing time or losing confidence in your work. The big way to work through this week is asking for help. I know you all like to do things on your own, but four hands or eyes are better than two.
Nine of Cups – Last week, the Empress wanted you to start planting seeds for projects/relationships you want to produce in 10 months. While challenging you that you must commit to it for the next 10 months to get a well-formed outcome, and it must have a component of helping others. Well the Nine of Cups continues that theme of growth and is begging you to drop your perfectionism down a half a notch this week. Remember this “project/s” is supposed to represent how you want to grow and what you want to grow. And no “baby” can grow without the freedom of learning from missteps.
King of Wands – The King of Wands comes to remind you how special you are. You have gone through a lot this past year. And this week you can build upon your successes. This is a week for you to take back some control you may have given away.
*Tower – The Tower is the card of change that comes from an outside source, to shake up something that is not working. This is the energy of Kali, goddess of destruction and rebirth. There are a couple ways to deal with this card. One way is do nothing, let the shaking happen and deal with the aftermath. The Second way is to say, “nope I would like not to deal with this”, some tiny shit will hit the fan and this card will come back around with more force next time. Or lastly see what needs to be changed and initiate that change before an outside source does. This is as simple as seeing that engine light on your dashboard lit up and then getting your car fixed this week. Or as complex as seeing that your relationship is not based on equality and having a discussion about it.
The idiom stop and smell the roses advises us to slow down and enjoy the finer things in life. This week’s artist, 
Ace of Swords – This is a great week for communication and decision making. The Ace of Swords brings new beginnings in the land of communication and information. If you can keep your mind open and sharp you can discover new pathways for thought and ideas. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in. Isaac Asimov
*The Chariot – The Chariot is the card of Change. This is a great week to start a journey, travel, and/or move along projects. In other words, it is a great week to make things happen to change things that you want to alter. The only issue with this card is to make this transformation happen it is all up to you. No outside force will swoop into help. This train is run solo by the power of your engines, but don’t worry you will have the energy to power this modification. PS on a practical note this card does have you literally check your means of transportation before setting off – check tire pressure, gas, make sure your shoes are appropriate, check your tickets etc…
Seven of Swords – The Seven of Swords is the card of small victories. This week you will have a surfeit of small successes. The only challenge with this card is that though you come out victorious there is more to be won in the near future. So, save some of your resources this week for the battles to come.
*Empress – The Empress represents the Goddess of Growth and Abundance. This is a great week to plant seeds for growth you want to see happen in 10 months’ time. The big questions this card has you answer this week are: What do you want to grow? How will you sustain that growth for the next 10 months? Does this growth have an aspect to help others? And if this growth doesn’t happen what is your plan B.
Nine of Swords – Okay Leos, what’s up this is your birthday month and this week you are letting worry play outdated sad songs for your party. This is where that Hierophant that showed up two weeks ago can help. First sort through your worries and only pick out which ones have a possible solution. Second dump what is left over, for they are not worth your Leonian gaze. Lastly, take those workable worries and set up structures and timelines (starting next week) to take them from worrying nightmares to doable to-do list items.
Five of Wands and Four of Swords – Chaos is in the air this week with the Five of Wands showing up. So, you as always have a choice jump into it or walk around it. However, the Four of Swords advises that you walk around it or even better turn around and walk away from it. If you do decide to jump in- take your vitamins and make sure you get lots of sleep because your immune system will be taxed.
Ace of Wands – Ace of Wands is the card of passion and all things that light up our lives – bring us awe. This is a great week for any kind of beginning – projects, relationships, roads, experiences. The only caveat is that the things you focus on this week must bring or ignite some zing in your life. Otherwise, why are you doing it?
Knight of Wands – All Knights foretell that travel is good for this week. And the Knight of Wands loves it when you travel to events or places that bring awe into your life. This card also comes when you are on the right path doing the right thing. So, keep on keeping on and try taking to the road and letting your soul pick the place.
Eight of Wands – The Eight of Wands foretells that whatever you focus on this week will hit the mark. This is a great week to send out correspondence or PR – it will be well received. It is also a great time to open conversation that normally are not easy to discuss – they will play out with ease and balance out power struggles. Or a great time sending out wishes for they will come true. The only thing to be cautious about is if your goal is not clear then your outcome may not be what you were aiming for.
Queen of Cups – The Queen of Cups is the card of fun and parties. This is a great week to celebrate your halfway point of your birth year. Take this time viewing all that has happened since your last birthday. I sure you will find a few things to celebrate about. Therefore, take this week off and raise your glass to yourself, what you have accomplished and to the prospects of the next 6 months.
Four of Swords – After last week’s Moon card, where you felt a little lost and moody, the Four of Swords advises you to take this week to rest and build up your immune system. When this card shows up you are fooling yourself that you are fine or bad-ass enough that this week’s stresses won’t get to you. This card highly suggests that bed-rest and vitamins are vital. You are running on fumes and you need this week to recharge.
Page of Swords and Ace of Pentacles – The Page of Swords is the card of information gathering and the Ace of Pentacles is the card of new material beginnings. Together they mean that this is a great week to start new projects that are on the material plane. Any projects you start will bring money in the future. However, the Page of Swords also says to start this project you need more information that maybe behind the scenes. The best way to work with this Page is, before you start this project, ask questions and listen to the answers with open ears and mind for something is not exactly as logical as it would seem.
My partner and I often create outlandish stories and conversations that we believe our cats are having with us, each other, the two squirrels that chatter on our screen porch, and one woodpecker that taps on the window every morning to converse with our younger cat. Artist 
*Hermit – Second big card in a row. Last week, the Sun card brought with it a sense of accomplishment and energized the week for getting things done, growing healthier, and succeeding in new ways. So last week it begged you to stay out in the Sun. This week is the opposite with the Hermit card. Where last week was getting out and meeting new people, this week you will need to pull away from society to get things done. The Hermit advises in all things gain perspective before acting on anything. This can look as simple as closing your office door or as complex as going on a retreat. Quiet is of the essence so you can hear yourself think.
Eight of Cups – Last week the World card close out your birthday month. With the Tower advising that to use this coming year to shake down the things that aren’t working in your life, so the world can bring you great opportunities. So, the first thing on your to-do list this week is clean your closets/drawers/shed/garage. It is a great week to unload some of the physical things that no longer work in your life. Lighten your load.
Four of Wands – No better way to start your first week of your new birth year then to make your home more comfortable. The Four of Wands is the card of a happy home. And Cancers home, as you know, is important to you. So, do what you must this week to make your abode feel more homey.
King of Wands – The King of Wands heralds this is a perfect week to be creative. He is the king of DIY, art in all its forms and inventions. And if you can’t do it then go and experience it. Go out in nature, museums, places that create awe and inspire you. 
Four of Cups – You are on a bit of an emotional roller coaster the past few weeks. This week continues the theme of ups and downs but with less altitude. This card advises that now is a good time to play in your inner world. But you must experience your outer world at least twice this week. Coming up for air is vital to your emotional health.
*Chariot – This is an auspicious week to create change. The Chariot is one of the big three cards of change. The challenge with this card is the change is all in your hands. Your work is to make sure you have a plan on your route and you are prepared for the long haul. Spend today plotting out where and what you are going to do, and you will get far. However, remember to remain flexible as you traverse through this week, for if your way is blocked it is all up to you to find an alternate route.
Five of Pentacles – The Five of Pentacles foretells a physical (material objects, projects, money) loss or break down can happen this week. To ward against this: Put your keys and phone in the same place, don’t invest in anything, nor decide to sell. The best way to work with this energy is stay the course, be frugal and ask for help.
Page of Cups – Last week, the Fool wanted you to take new journeys and indulged your 5 senses in new experiences, enjoying the varieties in life. The Page of Cups continues this theme whole-heartedly. This card challenges you to see the world through the eyes of a child. Find your wonder and curiosity with the world again.
*Judgement – Big week for you all with the Judgement card. This card’s energy is evolution. It is challenging you to awaken. Enlighten yourself. Make the big move to totally change your life. This can look as simple as starting a meditation practice to change your mind, health regime to change your body, committing to you’re a relationship to change your heart. Or as complex as change all three.
*Star – Last week the Judgment card had you pick something you want to evolve in your life. The Star continues that theme but also challenges you to heal. Think of your evolutionary phase like a crab changing its shell, a butterfly coming out of a cocoon, or a snake shedding their skin. All of them take their time to adjust to their new body and harden the softer parts. Take this week to heal. It can look as simple as taking a mental health day or as complex as taking the whole week.
Ace of Pentacles – New material beginnings this week. It is a great week to increase your resources, start a job, project, invest money. The only challenge with this card is you must do the work to get things started.
Queen of Pentacles – Last week, Justice had you questioning what your truth is and having you make decision from that. This week, the Queen of Pentacles continues this concept of truth but now wants you to put these truths into actions. This week practice your skills in walking the talk.
Knight of Wands – This week is an easier week then the last two. The Knight of Wands has you working on bringing the energy and passion back into your flow. The interesting thing with this card is that you have all that you need already around you for inspiration. Though a small trip out to nature is always advised when this card shows up.
Two of Cups – Relationships are the priority this week. These are relationships of your creation so that is either with your love partner or collaborating with someone in your soul group. As Grace Jones sang, “
*Moon – The Moon card comes when you need to shine light into the darkness of your subconscious. The challenge is shining the soft ambient light of the moon and not the harsh light of a summer sun. Your subconscious either has some healing, growing or disposing that needs to happen this week. So, watch areas you are triggered. These are places where fear has been embedded. The more you try to pull it out the more it digs in its heels; however, if you coax it with food or love, you will not only tame the fear but also befriend it. This week do activities that soothe your psyche.
Four of Cups – This week it is time to deal with your disenchantment of a situation or person in your life. There are two ways this card advises you to deal with this. One, your expectations were not appropriate – recalibrate. Two, there is a solution, but you are not looking outward for it – look up and out for resolutions.
Nine of Pentacles – The last couple of weeks have been full of change and movement. This week the Nine of Pentacles lets you sit back and absorb what has been and still needs to happen in your life. Take this week making your workload more manageable. Whether that is slowing your pace or holing yourself up for a couple of days to get things done, the goal is work smarter not harder.
Seven of Pentacles – The Seven of Pentacles is very straightforward energy. It signifies this is a great week to work. The only challenge with this card is the work you do this week will not show up for harvesting until at least a month from now.
*Chariot – The Chariot is one of the three cards of change. This change is defined by movement that is solely created by you. This card has you practicing not only your balance but also your fortitude. Therefore, this card’s challenge is know thyself. You have all the control of the energy that is whipping up in you and around you. You need to figure out what is the best way, time, space to harness it and figure out at what pace to set so your stamina increases. Also, on a very practical side of this card – check your mode of transportation for possible issues ex: your tire pressure, that the shoes you are wearing are appropriate, your bus card is valid etc.…
en of Cups – The last two weeks, the Strength card came having you reinforce a resolve, be more resilient, and/or support your self-worth. And then the Lovers brought relationships in challenging you to bring out the best in others which in turn brings out the best in you. This week the Ten of Cups continues the theme of relationship building. However, it now focuses on enjoying the love you have created not only for yourself but for others. Drink it in.
Page of Swords– Last week the Strength card advised you to see how resilient, confident and worthy you are. The Page of Sword continues this theme of seeing the truth of your strength and resilience. This card is the card of information gathering and pondering the facts. Spend time this week seeing the facts and reasons you are so strong. If you need help seeing your self as such, ask others. On a practical note information gathering is pertinent this week in all things.
*Empress – The Empress is the gardener card. When she arrives, she asks you to focus on what do you want to grow and or tend to. Nurturing is the skill most needed this week. But don’t forget as they say on airplanes you must put the mask on yourself first before you tend to others. The gardener tends the garden but who tends the gardener?
*Justice – Justice is the card of truths. This card has you questioning what is your truth? How do you show it in your daily life? Are you living your truth? Those are the big questions, but then Justice also plays out in practical matters. This is a card of decision making with cool intellect, only the facts, pro and cons list etc… Justice wants you to use your head this week and then act.
Ten of Swords – Last week you all got the Tower for your first power card for this birth year. The first lesson with this card is you need to do some major renovating in your life this year. If you don’t know what to start on or how to make the change happen, the Tower card comes to shake things up and makes it obvious what needs to be deconstructed and reconstructed. The theme this year is take control of the change yourself or the Universe will change it for you. Well this week will hold some clear clues on what needs changing with the Ten of Swords. This card is about people and situations that just are not good for you. This ten will help you see these items clearly and then it is up to you to rid yourself of them.
Five of Coins – The Five of Coins is about suffering and loss. This week holds clues as to what is not working in your life. The interesting thing with this card is that this suffering is easily remedy by you just by asking for help. You do not need to suffer alone this week. On a practical note this can just mean you might lose something like your keys or glasses – so ask for help to find them.
Six of Wands – The Six of Wands is the card of victory. This week is a good stopping point to take break, enjoy what you have accomplished and rest up. However, this card also says the work is not done. So keep in mind, there is more to do but this isn’t the week to do it. 
King of Cups – Last week the Star had you restoring your health both mental and physical. You get to continue that theme with the King of Cups this week. He would like you to focus on the restoration of your heart and emotions. This week is about lifting your spirits, and any form of water is helpful in this endeavor. However, the practical warning of this card is do not overindulge with liquid spirits.
*Death and Six of Cups – Okay another change card. Last week the Chariot challenged you to take the reins and create momentum in your life. Now change takes another form, Death. Death is the card of change that is partly in your control and partly in the spin of the Universe. So, the weight of responsibility of making change happen has been lifted somewhat. However, because of the Six of Cups joins in, you will need to make amends with the past to allow the Universe to lift some of that responsibility off your shoulders. This can look as simple as forgiving a past aggression or as complex as letting go of the incidences from the past that can no longer be resolved.
Knight of Cups – This week emotion is the key to movement. The best way to make this happen with ease is to be forthright with your emotions. This does not mean you have to wear your heart on your sleeve for all to see, but you must at least be honest with how you are feeling with those that are close to you. The challenge is remembering that what you are feeling is just that, a feeling – it does not always represent the absolute or whole truth.
Eight of Cups – Last week, the Emperor gave you his energy to materialize and do. But he also had you checking in with does your work fulfill you? If it doesn’t, then being honest with what this work is bringing you (like money or time), and if it is fulfilling then keep doing it with more gusto. This week, the Eight of Cups still has you working on the question what is fulfilling. Though this card’s exercise is to get rid of some excess emotions, ideas or items that no longer serve you. This can literally look like cleaning out your closets and drawers. Time to release.
*Lovers – last week, the Strength card came having you strengthen a resolve, be more resilient, and/or support your self-worth. And now that you are stronger in your self you can now pair up with others. This week will bring relationships in focus. Pay attention to how you interact with them. This card’s work is how to bring out the best in others which also as a bonus brings out the best in you.
*Strength– Strength is the card of resilience, confidence and self-worth. This week you need to boost these qualities in yourself. You are not seeing how far you have come or how you could have taken routes that would have sent you into shadier outcomes. So here is an exercise to see how strong you have become. Think of a decision you made recently and now think of at least 3 ways you could have chosen that would have create a more negative outcome. This could be as simple as you didn’t give someone the finger on the highway – it could have been worse if 1) you ran them off the road. 2) you shot them the bird and they ran you off the road 3) you held on to your anger until you yelled at your significant other, your boss or a cashier. See, you are making decision every day and most of them are smart and damn good for yourself and the rest of the world. Take this week confirming how you are a decent human being.
Eight of Swords – Last week the Chariot told you to take the reins. That the path that you are on is correct and you have the power to complete all that you need to do. This week the Eight of Swords can put a halt to your momentum. But just like the Chariot this stop is also in your hands. The challenge is not to be bound to the outcome of this week or the road to get to your destination. Flexibility is key.
Ace of Swords – Decisions and knowledge are on the forefront this week. The Ace of Swords advises a new way of thought is needed to overcome a problem or find a solution. Think outside the box this week.
*Tower – Ok Gemini, the Tower is your first birth year card. What a way to shake up the new year. The Tower is one of the three cards of change. This year the first lesson with this card is you need to do some major renovating in your life. If you don’t know what it is or how to make the change happen, the Tower card comes to shake things up and makes it obvious what needs to be deconstructed and reconstructed. Examples are moving out of a space, job or relationship that doesn’t work for you, or doing a major overhaul of your health regime. The theme this year is take control of the change yourself or the Universe will change it for you.
Page of Cups – The Page of Cups is the card of love and joy. This week find and do simple things that make you smile. Simple acts of kindness to yourself and others is just the cure for your heart and the world around you. Think like a puppy, kitten or 3-year old.
Ten of Pentacles – Last week it was all about beginnings. This week is all about wrapping things up on the material plane. The Ten of Pentacles advises that your prioritiey this week is to tie up loss ends at your work. And then when you get home luxuriate in that feeling of accomplishment. This has challenges around work/life balance. Your motto all work and no play makes Jill or Jack an unhappy person. 
*Star – Last week was hard with the Ten of Swords, but the Star has arrived advising you in a big way to rest and heal this week. The Star is the card of healing after the storm. It doesn’t come often so take advantage and do things that restore your health both mental and physical. Whether that is hermitizing with a book, fishing, taking a spa day, relaxing with friends over diner or anything that lets your nervous system rest. Take this week – relax and restore.
Queen of Wands – Intuition is the key this week. The Queen of Wands advises you to get in touch with your inner guide for you will need its guidance in the coming week. She advises that nature, the spirit or the arts will help you tap into your insight. Also be aware that with this card’s arrival solutions/avenues are found with non-linear thinking.
*Chariot – Change continues to be the theme this week with the Chariot. This card represents change that you have total control over. This is great for no outside source can ultimately stop you. However, it is also a challenge for you are the only one to make the momentum happen. This can look as simple as moving your office or living room around creating better flow, or as complex as moving yourself out of that job/space/relationship that you hate, or finally taking that step to be your own boss. Also, on the practical side of this card: Check your means of transport this week ie: check your tires, fluids, shoes, bus schedule… they can sometimes be wonky when this card shows up.
Nine of Swords – The Nine of Swords is the card of worry or overthinking. This week can bring on a variety of things to worry about. However, this card foretells that there will be only a few that you can fix. The first thing to do is discern which ones are fixable or completable and fix them. The rest write down and literally throw them away in the trash. Ultimately this is a lesson in – you don’t have control over everything nor are you responsible for it all either.
*Emperor – The Emperor is the card of doing. The biggest lesson with this card is that you have a good plan and good resources, and now is the time to manifest what you want to happen in your environment. He is the materializer. So, this week is all about the work. Your only challenge is that especially for you Capricorns does the work fulfill you? If not, then realize you are in it for the money and make the money. If it is then you are one happy camper waking up each morning doing what you have always want to do. This week MAKE.
*Strength – The Strength card comes when you need to strengthen a resolve, be more resilient, and/or support your self-worth. For some of you it can be as simple as sticking to your diet/exercise regime or for others it can be as complex as finally telling your side of the story. The paradox and complexity with this card are true strength comes form the combination of being rigorous but also with a soft application. As they say, you attract more flies with honey then vinegar, whether that is with yourself or declaring your boundaries.
Page of Wands – Last week, the Fool came advising either you will be given a choice and this choice will ripple through your future, or for others to take a leap of faith where there seems as if there is no choice. This theme of journeying and choice continues this week with the Page of Wands. This card ask you to focus on the question “what turns you on?” This journey that you are on must have components that ignite your passion. You need stimulus like a fish needs water. If you want to be productive you need to visit the waters of inspiration, and this is the week to do it.
