The artist highlighted this tarotart-cast is Lita Cabellut @litacabellut Cabellut employs an array of techniques in her art. This includes fresco, silk screen, digitization, collage to name a few. The scale of her portraits makes the viewer dwell in a face-to-face visual dialogue with her portrayals of humanity. Expressions become exaggerated at that scale. Skin becomes more than a covering. In her words, “My greatest obsession is to give a skin to the characters I portray, then I apply brushstrokes.” Not only is she known for her large-scale paintings, but she is also versed in sculpture, photography, scenography, visual poetry, installations, video and film.
Your pondering: Cabellut said “… in everything that is ugly, find that point of beauty. Because it is there, always it is there, in the most horrible things that may happen to you. I always say: if you have not stepped on the tapestry of anguish, you cannot kiss life.” How has suffering, sorrow or pain helped you experience life more fully?
Solar System highlights
We begin with the Moon in Aries which gives us a shot of “go juice” to start the week. On Tuesday it moves into Taurus – great for work but also remember to balance it with indulging your senses. On Thursday it moves into Gemini and conversation and information are highlighted. Then for the weekend the moon is in Cancer – stay around your home and practice self-care. On Tuesday February 11th the moon moves into Leo and our second full moon – acknowledge places where you have shined in the last 4 weeks. On the Thursday the 13th the moon moves into Virgo – great for organizing and cleaning.
Mercury is in Aquarius- socializing and innovating the way we communicate. Mars is retrograde again in Cancer until February 23rd, 2025. So once again action moves sideways not in a straight line. But this is our second opportunity to find new and better avenues than the obvious or easiest ones.
Venus moves into Aries February 4th. This is not one of Venus’s favorite spots. But it does teach us to follow through with our actions and to take this Aries “go for it” energy to make the world a more loving place. Just watch for stubbornness or over reaction. Lead with curiosity and how to create win-win situations that move forward not backwards.
Our longer aspects: Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, is in Gemini until June. This placement helps us to work with opportunities to grow and succeed through intellectual, verbal, and written pursuits. However, we must also watch its challenging aspects: not following through, gossip, too much information and fickleness. Saturn is in Pisces until February 2026 teaching us how to be more fluid and inclusive in our structures. And lastly Pluto in Aquarius is still feeling very new. So is you are feeling wobbly, remember to take things slowly. We have lots of time with this aspect.

Eight of Fire – For the next two weeks information will be valuable but overwhelming. The Muse of Messages says that this download is from a variety of sources and has some challenges. First, some of the messages are not meant for you, so let them fly past. And secondly this is not the time to answer all of them. She advises you can do a couple of things to manage the onslaught.
