Tarotcast for Week of November 11, 2018

Above and below are photographs by Christy Lee Rogers. Her style is reminiscent of Baroque paintings.  She, like the siren, lures her friends and family into a pool at night and submerges them with an array of sinuous fabrics.  Rogers has created a technique of using the refraction of light, water and movement to craft images that are lively with color and deep in complexity.

Her subjects show a sense of beauty and strength at the same time vulnerability and fragility that exemplifies the human condition.  She explains: What I want more than ever is to express and inspire hope and freedom, a sense of wonder and tranquility, to create a safe place to dream wildly, and most importantly to inspire the idea that there are still mysterious, impossibly beautiful things on Earth—not solely in our imaginations.

That is our challenge in life and especially in the arts is to bring forth and to light the beauty and mystery of our humanity.  This week be open to investigating the mystery and embodying the beauty that is uniquely human.

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

Aries – Ace of Swords

 

The Ace of Swords foretells that your mind is your best asset.  You are going to need your logic and wits about you this week.  This card’s advice is to cut through the malarkey and make decisions.

 

Taurus – Ten of Pentacles

The Ten of Pentacles brings another week of focusing on building your net worth.  What you have going right now is a pretty good gig.  Keep at it and adding to it.

Tarotcast for Week of October 28, 2018

Happy Halloween or Good tides for Samhain

My love for classic and cult horror films came from a TV show called Creature Features which aired every Saturday morning after cartoons. Creature Features was a title used by a variety of TV format shows that broadcasted on local stations all over the US throughout the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s.  They usually had a host dressed in a costume or portraying a persona that introduced the movies, shared trivia or did some bits. The movies shown were generally classic and cult 1930’s to 50’s horror movies, horror/sci-fi films of the 50’s and 60’s, British horror films mostly by Hammer Productions, and Japanese “giant monster movies.”

Of course before these movies landed on TV they played in movie theaters and had film posters to match.  Classic Horror film posters are the most sought after posters and sell for big bucks. Though the artists behind them are not as famous as the movies, it is illustrators’, like Lang, Kulz, Grosz, and Froelich, whose images lured us into the dark.  Their time has come, for now the most expensive film posters sold at auction are horror posters from the late 20’s through 30’s. The top five are Metropolis, The Mummy, The Black Cat, Bride of Frankenstein and Dracula.

P.S. Remember signs with an * it’s a big week for you.  Halloween is a great time for a reading.  Please share.

*Aries – High Priestess

The High Priestess comes into your life when you need to take your own counsel.  She challenges you to go within, find your center and then watch.  The answer lies within the cycles you see with your intuitive gaze. This can look as simple as pulling  back from a conversation when it feels a bit wonky and listen to what is really being said, or as complex as taking a retreat to find the keys to why your life isn’t really working the way you want it to.

 

Taurus – Four of Cups

This week you move from the material plane to the emotional one.  The Four of Cups challenges you to tune into how emotional wealthy you are right.  This is not a week to turn inward.  You have a lot of support and love in your life.  This week take notice, drink from your cups of plenty and say thanks.

 

Gemini – King of Swords

The King of Swords is the diplomat of the deck.  He also plays the long game.  This week it is important to be very aware of how you communicate and negotiate.  What you say this week reverberates through the end of this year and into the next.

 

Cancer – Two of Swords

The last two weeks the Fool challenged you to acknowledge and let go of the excess so you can pack lighter for the road ahead, and the Lovers challenged you to pick good companions for this journey.  This week the Two of Swords continues the theme with decision making. This card advises that which you pick isn’t the point but making the decision which is the key, or in other words, indecision is your foe this week.

 

*Leo – Chariot

The Chariot advises you to get out of the house.  Your soul is craving change and the open roads.  In the simplest form this can look like taking a long drive to cure your itchy feet.  In a more complex way make movement part of your life whether that is a joining an exercise class, changing jobs or moving to another state.  You need a change of scenery.

 

*Virgo – Justice

The energy level is running high for another week with the Justice card.  The last two weeks the theme was building and growing with Magician and Sun calling in new ideas and processes. This week Justice shows up and wanting you to balance the energy with the process of simplification.  Take each thing that you been creating and streamline it.

 

Libra – Seven of Cups

The Seven of Cups is the card of dreams and imagination.  You will need to think outside the box this week, and to do so, your subconscious and imagination needs to run free.  I know this sounds counter intuitive, but the more you time you spend day dreaming the more you get done.

 

Scorpio – Seven of Swords

The Seven of Swords asks you to be careful by making sure you know the whys behind what you are doing this week.  Your thoughts and communication skills will be challenged.  This can come in a variety of forms.  This card advises you to stay true to your morals and if you are feeling challenged see if you can postpone the conversation or project until you can gain your composure and thoughts.

 

*Sagittarius – Death and the Eight of Swords

You all have the most Halloween like reading with Death and Eight of Swords, but no need to be spooked.  This week is just asking you to let go of limiting thoughts, so you can move with the organic change and growth that is happening in your life.  This is as simple as when confronted with a limitation or boundary or what seemly is a road block, take what looks like the darker and unfamiliar path.  It is the places that are dark and unknown that hold the secrets of fertilization and growth.

*Capricorn – World

The World card heralds moments of beginnings and ends.  Use this week’s big energy to finish off projects and start the investigation of new opportunities.  Don’t worry you don’t have to commit to any doors you walk into.  This week is more like walking in and trying out as many doors/environments/projects that you can.  This can look as simple as finishing off 3 to-do items and then celebrating by going to a new restaurant for a new food experience, or as complex as sending out your resume to a bunch of jobs and see if anyone bites.

 

Aquarius – Eight of Pentacles

Last week, the Wheel said your fortune was changing. What came last week was a gift no matter its packaging, and your challenge was to see what you would do with this gift.  Now the Eight of Pentacles takes that gift and challenges you to work on it by refining your skills, and finding your flow.  They say it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill, so practice, practice, practice.

 

Pisces – Page of Swords

The last two weeks the High Priestess challenged to sync yourself with your life-path, and the World challenge you to close old doors and open new ones. The Page of Swords says you need more information to continue moving forward. So it is time to get out your Sherlock hat and keep your ear to the ground.  Information abounds this week you just need to find it.

 

 

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

Tarot-cast for week of August 12, 2018

Jane Wilson

Weather has been on my mind as we are in the dog days of summer.  Where I live huge thunderstorms can rage in the afternoons and are a brief respite to the heat of the day.  You can feel them coming as the air cools, breeze picks up and you can smell the rain on the wind.

The phrase dog days comes from the Latin term Dies Caniculares referring to the time that Sirius, the Dog Star, rises before the Sun, and it referred to the time period of late July to late August, the hottest part of summer in ancient Greece.  So the phrase through time has become associated with the hot and muggy days of August.  Even though now, since the constellations have shifted, we see it before sunrise starting July 12th to August 12th.

Jane Wilson was an artist in tuned with the weather.  She painted a wide variety of subjects but landscapes became her focus. Jane moved to New York at 25; however, growing up on an Iowa farm highly influenced how she saw our relationship with weather.  She said that living on the farm you learn to feel the weather coming. So when she painted she would aim for moments of strong sensation ⎯ moments of total physical experience of the landscape, when weather just reaches out and sucks you in. When you look at her landscapes you can really feel the dew of dawn, the heat of the afternoon, the spray of a stormy ocean or the coolness of the air as the sun sets.

P.S. Please share.  Also, I have put up another quote to download for your vision board.  Enjoy.

Aries – Ten of Wands

The Ten of Wands tells you that this week might feel like an uphill battle.  It will be full of responsibilities.  Your challenge is to figure out which ones are yours and which are others, and then make the conscious choice as to which you will do first.

 

Taurus – Page of Pentacles

The Page of Pentacles is the card of the student.  Take time to learn something new.   The area where you need to do your studies is in the material plane:  your work or environment.

 

Gemini – Queen of Pentacles

Jane WilsonThe Queen of Pentacles is the gardener of the deck.  You need to tend to your personal environment.  These activities for example are deep cleaning part of your home, putting up shelves, stock your pantry, or gardening.  The challenge is enjoying the space you are creating.

 

Cancer – Four of Swords

The Four of Swords would like you to take a respite.  For some, you will need to take time out to reconsider something and for others you will just need the rest.

 

Leo – Page of Swords and Nine of Swords

Jane WilsonThis week is a two card week and that means that there is a couple of messages for Leos.  For all Leos, it is a week to do some investigative work.  There are messages that are hidden out there.  They just need you to do a little digging to find them.  And for some of you this info will help you with what has been worrying you.  The challenge is realizing what to actual worry about and what is just in your head.

 

Virgo – Ten of Pentacles

Jane WilsonLast week, the High Priestess challenged you to see the bigger picture while seeing the synchronicities in the details. This week the Ten of Pentacles shifts you from watching to doing.  This is a great week to finish projects, which is appropriate for Virgos, because you are in your wind down month before your birthday.   The challenge is finishing things you don’t want to carry into another year.

 

Libra – Seven of Pentacles

Jane WilsonThe Seven of Pentacles is the card of hard work.  This week is a nose to the grind-stone week.  The challenge is that the work you do is more of a long-term investment than an immediate return. But it will be worth the wait.

 

*Scorpio – Queen of Swords and Justice

Jane WilsonOkay, two cards for you again this week.  Last week Hierophant came to the rescue advising you the more organized and prepared you are the easier it will be to navigate in and around the chaos.  The Queen of Swords continues this theme that prep and strategy will be needed this week.  And Justice comes in to warn you that things are more black and white then what they seem.  Your challenge with both cards is not to be too harsh or cold to those around you or yourself.

 

Sagittarius – Six of Cups

Jane WilsonThe Six of Cups has two parts.  One is that the past holds some important information for you to use this week, so no need to create new tricks.  And the second is you need to take a child-like view to freshen your perspective.  This card advises, if you have forgotten how to freshen up your point of view, get on the floor, color outside the lines, spin in circles or go swinging.

 

Capricorn – Eight of Pentacles

Jane WilsonThe Eight of Pentacles wants you to feel and practice your mastery this week. This is not a week to learn new tricks but hone the ones you already have.

 

Aquarius – Two of Rods

Jane WilsonThe Two of Rods foretells success though it also involves a lot of waiting.  The challenge is keeping busy during the waiting periods. This is a great time to catch up on your to do lists, read or start little projects.

 

Pisces – Page of Wands

Jane WilsonThe Page of Wands comes around when your Awe meter is low. Your challenge this week is get yourself into nature, go to a museum, a music show or anything that has to do with nature or art.  Your passion for life needs to be re-lit.  Life is good Pisces you just need to be reminded.

 

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

Leaving Behind 2017 and Welcoming 2018 Tarotcast

Leaving Behind

This tarotcast is short and sweet.  On New Year’s Day many of us set up resolutions or we wish for a thing to manifest in our new year.  And last week, the tarot gifted something to carry forward into 2018.  However, the first law of thermodynamics says that energy cannot be created or destroy, or that energy in its totality remains the same. Therefore for you to gain something, you must leave something behind.  This tarotcast is dedicated to creating detritus in 2017 to open up space for the new in 2018.

The ritual I suggest for tonight is to get rid of something.  With that thought in mind, I pulled a card and picked one or two words that can help you start the process of evaluating what you no longer need or use and leave it behind.

Talk to you all next year.

Aries – Empress

Tarotcast for week of April 30th, 2017

Cassini Saturn space probe

Cassini is a space probe that was launched in 1997. Its mission is to take pictures of Saturn, its moons and its rings. On April 27 Cassini started its final chapter, to dive between the rings and the planet, finally plunging into Saturn’s atmosphere on September 15, 2017. Real time data from the initial dive is helping scientists and engineers protect the spacecraft on the 21 trips through the rings of dust, rocks and ice formed from ancient meteor impacts. As Cassini flies through the rings not only will it teach us about the debris but also how to protect itself.

When I was a child, Saturn was my favorite planet. I used to draw it all the time. Now as I learn more about Saturn in astrology, its status as my favorite has been challenged. In astrology, Saturn is the planet of restrictions and limitations. Some astrologers even think that it represents karmic lessons from past lives.

Throughout our childhoods we are impacted by our surroundings with little control. This aspect of our experience creates the bad self talk that is in our minds, or our debris. Each time we dive into this detritus we become better at protecting ourselves, we get a better view of ourselves, and what is limiting us. Eventually, we become like Saturn. We can never fully discard the flotsam and jetsam of childhood but we can get it far enough away from us to make a beautiful, unique planet.

P.S. Remember, signs with * it’s a big week for you.

*Aries – Justice – Justice is the big sister of the Ace of Swords, your card from last week. This means you have another week to change your mind. Justice is here as a reinforcement to the Ace of Swords, because this is either a major mind shift or you didn’t take last week’s tarotcast seriously. So to repeat: you can change your mind by learning something new, changing an old thought, or changing your stance on something. With any of these choices you will gain a new perspective on how you think.

Taurus – Page of Swords – The Page of Swords advises that the best use of your time this week is as an investigator. Spend this week asking questions, learning about others’ thoughts and ideas, and doing research. You can learn a lot by asking questions and listening, or even just listening. This week, keep your thoughts to yourself.
