Vincent Bal is a Belgian filmmaker and illustrator who works in the shadows of everyday objects. I love this concept, of looking at the everyday to create a tiny hidden world. My love for the small and hidden started in my childhood with a book series called The Borrowers. Mary Norton, a Sagittarian born on December 10, 1903, created a fantasy world where tiny people lived in the walls of an English home. They borrowed everyday objects to make their tiny hidden world cozy. In their home a wooden spool became a seat, a thimble a vase, and a postage stamp a painting.
Imagination meeting the everyday is one of the lessons taught to us by Sagittarius. Sagittarians use their amazing imagination in a practical yet at the same time fantastical way. Try it sometime this week, take an everyday object and see what your imagination can do with it.
P.S. If you need a stocking stuffer or “woo woo” holiday gift, I do gift certificates for my tarot readings. And, I have added links at the bottom for holiday gift ideas from a few artists and shops I love.
P.P.S Remember, when signs have * it’s a big week for you. I have attached some pictures of Vincent that may or may not go with your tarotcast.
Aries – Seven of Wands – The Seven of Wands warns you that it will be difficult to stay focused this week. The best way to work with this card is to have a plan or a to do list and stick with it, but don’t be too hard on yourself if you keep getting taken off tasks. Sometimes dealing with the Seven of Wands can be an exercise of letting go of control and going with the flow.
Taurus – Four of Wands – That’s two four cards in a row. Let’s step back and review what fours mean. Fours want you to focus on ways to create more stability in your life. Last week, your focus was aimed at work, this week your focus should turn towards your home. Either your work and home-life are not balanced or something in your home is literally not working. This could look like you are spending too much time at work or like drippy faucets, hinges that squeak, or drawers that don’t close all the way. Whatever the reason, it seems you should be spending some time at home.

Aries – Four of Pentacles – The Four of Pentacles’ lesson is letting go of trying to control everything in your life. It is time to manage and be aware of your available energy and resources, but not hold them too stringently. It is possible this week that you could squeeze the life out of your projects. Your challenge is to figure if you need to ask for help or just let go a little and see how things work out naturally.
Taurus – Ten of Cups – Last week, The Star challenged you to walk forward into your Future with more energy and a new sense of hope. The Ten of Cups continues the theme this week. This card’s challenge is making sure you are creating a happy environment for yourself. For example, if your home is feeling uncomfortable, do you need to do some house cleaning, or do you need to lower your expectations of cleanliness just a tad? “Happily ever after” is not obtainable, but contentment, 75% of the time, is within your reach.
*Taurus – The Fool – Last week you got the Eight of Pentacles telling you to “get into the zone” because that is the birth place of your epiphanies. The Fool is the big brother to last week’s card. The Fool’s lesson is about being in the moment with ease. And for earthy Taurus, this is best done while “doing.” This week your challenge is to practice your mindfulness in your daily life and to loosen up. For your mindfulness exercise it can be as simple as mindfully rake up leaves, washing dishes or cutting your vegetables for diner. For exercises in loosening up, you can do silly walks in your hallway, make funny faces at yourself in the mirror, or wiggle your body for 30 seconds while saying “milk” over and over. Your goal is to find yourself becoming aware and enjoy being in your skin.
