Happy birthday Gemini!

This is the last week in May and the last flower art for now.  Sometimes the sweetness of art is left behind for the dramatic contour of color and complexity of technique and meaning.  But there is something that needs to be noticed when the capturing of a simple gesture can tell a story.  Carolyn Clayton’s small intimate sculptures do just that.  They embody a feeling in the simplest tilt of the head or crossing of a limb.

The audacity and tenaciousness of a dandelion to the delicacy and vulnerability of an orchid – flowers change a dismal day to a happy one with their divine beauty. It is simple act to brighten some one’s day by giving them a flower. We should do it more often.

P.S.  Remember signs with an * it a big week for you.  Gemini this is a great time of year to get your Astrological Tarot Reading  to prepare for your next year.

 

Aries

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.

 

Taurus

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.

 

Gemini

*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.

 

Cancer

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.

 

Leo

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. 

 

Virgo

*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.

 

Libra

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.

 

Scorpio

*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.

 

Sagittarius

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.

 

Capricorn

*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.

 

Aquarius

*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.

 

Pisces

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.

 

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