Tarot and Art Forecast for Week of April 12, 2020

Egg hunt
Salvador_dali_-Teatro Museo Dali 1974

The egg symbolizes new life.  It is used by many artists as a symbol of everyday life, birth, sexuality, hope, and nature.  The use of this oval subject dates to pagan’s rituals of Spring and was adopted by Christianity to represent Christ coming out of tomb. Some scholars hypothesize that the decorating of eggs started around the 13th century, for eggs were forbidden to eat during Lent.  Therefore, people decorating eggs was part of celebrating the ending of their fast.

In German they took it a bit farther with the tradition of making nests for the Osterhause, a hare who lays colorful eggs but only to good children.   This tarotcast is just for visual fun.  In each picture there is an egg some are hard to find and some not so much. I stole this idea from Google Art so for more click Happy hunting.

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

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

Aries

Egg huntTwo of Coins – Last week, change was in the air if you didn’t try forcing it. The energy wanted you to work with the ebbs and flows of natural cycles.   Sharing the job of creating movement with the universe continues this week.  If you share the burden, you will feel less like you are spinning plates and/or overwhelmed.  The part is to work on your balancing act and be flexible.

Six of Coins – Finally a break in the heavy energy.  This is a time to rebalance and recoup some of your energy spent.  To get this week to work with ease, self-care is on the top of the list.  The more positive compassionate love, space and time you can pour into yourself the more you will be available to the outer world.  This is a time you can also call in some unpaid debts. Your energy cupboards are bare.  Find ways to re-stock them.
