This week’s artist is Tawny Chatmon.  She creates the most beautiful portraits.  As she states they are ‘loosely inspired by art from the 15^th-19^th century with specific intent of bringing to the forefront faces that often under-celebrated in this style of work.”  She believes that “our memories and our experiences are directly responsible for who we become.”

So, if we want equality, freedom and peace for all people, we need to experience all of our faces as commonplace and in positive light.  Look around in your environment and see if you are expanding your creations, experiences, memories – who you are – wide enough to encompass all of you, humanity, and the world.

P.S. Remember signs with an * it a big week for you.  Capricorn this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Cancer it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in now is the time.

Aries

Ace of Wands – Last week, you were tasked with the study of cycles and holistic ways of looking situations or projects.  This knowledge hopefully inspired you, for this week is a great time for beginning new projects or growth in places of purpose and inspiration.

Taurus

Nine of Cups – Last week, the Hanged Man advised you to look at situations with a different perspective.  Taking time for contemplation with an emphasis of out-side the box thinking.  This energy of out of the box thinking is needed this week, to explore the concept and your actions around your feelings on contentment.

Gemini

Three of Cups – Last week called for you to do some healing and take time aligning with the positive.    This energy continues this week if you hang out with friends as part of the process.  The Three of Cups comes when your emotional wells are needing to be filled, and the people who know you well can help.

Cancer

*Magician – The energy this week is experimentation with the tools and skills you already have in your arsenal.  Take time now to tap into your intuition and pull out some ideas to play with. Create without purpose and explore what comes from it.

Leo

Eight of Coins – Another week that is all about business.  This week’s energy is all work, but you are also totally prepared and skill for all you must do.  The only challenge is to run this week like a marathon not a sprint.  Keep hydrated along the way and by the weekend you can fully relax.

Virgo

Five of Coins – Chaotic energy is prevalent this week.  Be careful this does not send your head spinning into loss and feeling as if you have scant resources.  Your read on this energy is right; it is not a week to invest into new projects.  So the challenge is realizing that you are not alone, nor lost, nor poor.  Your wealth and help lies in the family, friends and/or the community at large.

Libra

Eight of Cups – It is time to let go of emotional baggage that you have been carrying.  The energy this week is about releasing.  The challenge is letting yourself do it without guilt.

Scorpio

Queen of Pentacles – Last week, the energy was about creating harmony while still maintaining a duality in your nature and/or with others.  Your challenge is connecting with the ones you love without losing either’s selfhoods, and/or harmonizing your own masculine and feminine energy.  This process will help you with this week’s energy of being a provider and comforter.  The challenge in being both is having a solid foundation built on your own needs and allow others to maintain their freedom while you nurture theirs.

Sagittarius

Page of Swords – The energy this week is about information lying hidden.  The goal this week is finding truths that are hidden or disguised.  Start asking subtle but leading questions to the answers you want to find.  The challenge is hearing what is said and then discerning which avenue to take to discover the information at its fullest. The truth is there but you are going to have to dig for it.

Capricorn

Four of Swords – Last week your energy work was gardening and growth.  Create and design.  Plant and nurture. Tend and weed.  And finally, balance the work with the pleasures that you have reaped from that work.  That last task is extended to this week.  Your challenge is slowing your roll and being still.  Learning how to rest is a needed skill to practice this week.  This is a big year for Capricorns.  So, with all that cosmic activity you will be dealing with (from January 2020 until December 2020), this is the only week with Mercury in your sign that your personal needs are easily heard.  After the this your purpose and will take front stage. So, I must repeat take this week to relax, talk and physically listen to your body and soul.

Aquarius

World – This energy shows up when opportunities are at your doorstep to take and other doors can be closed.  This is a great time to start something new.  To say yes to things that you wouldn’t normally say yes to.  The challenge around this card is feeling as if you say yes means that you can’t back out of it, and/or you might close doors you are not ready to.  Oh contre mon ami.  This energy likes you to try out new things so you can find what best fits the new you. So any closed door can be open again, but you might find the new landscape better fits who you are now.

Pisces

Ace of Cups – New beginnings on the emotional front are this week’s energy.   Manifesting joy and love is the energy form to work with.  The challenge is truly feeling you deserve it.

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

Nina
