Saturn has just entered Capricorn. For many astrologers, this planet is one of the big markers in our lives.   Saturn changes signs around two and half years, and it takes it a full 29.5 years to get through all of the zodiac.  So in an average life span we get two or three tries with the lessons Saturn is trying to teach us.  Saturn hasn’t been in Capricorn since 1989, and this made me think about the path of our lives.  How we twist and turn, visit new places, and revisit old ones. How our course can traverse the world or encompass a street.

Andrew DeGraff‘s art work reflects my pondering of paths. Above and below are some of his pieces where he maps out the path(s) of one or several characters in a variety of movies.   He  is a freelance illustrator and artist living and working in Maine. He recently published his second book, Cinemaps: An Atlas of 35 Great Movies.  What details of your path would be on your art piece?

Can you guess which movie corresponds with your picture?

Aries – Ten of Cups

Last week, the Judgment card pointed out the new steps to take in your life.  This week the Ten of Cups wants you to add the concept of joy into your new life’s structure.  Your challenge is to be mindful of what makes you smile and do more of it.

 

 

Taurus – Three of Wands

 

The Three of Wands is about action and planning.  Your challenge this week is getting things in place.  Big things are on the horizon are you ready for them?

 

 

 

Gemini – Page of Cups

Last week, the Hangman had you look at where and why you are stalled out in your life.  The Page of Cups continues this theme, and suggest this exercise to help jump-start your passion.  Focus on things that you enjoyed in your childhood.  Do things this week without goals – just for the joy of doing them.

 

*Cancer – Justice

The Justice card advises you to focus on fairness, truth, and clarity in your life.  Your challenge is to see what you are creating may have a longer half-life than what you are expect.  For all things end up fair in the end, but the results may take longer than what you think or want.

 

 

Leo – Six of Pentacles

 

The Six of Pentacles is the mini karma card.  Your challenge this week is for every good thing you put out there you get three-fold back, but that works for negative things too.

 

 

 

Virgo – Five of Pentacles

 

Five of Pentacles challenge is to realize this is a week to ask for help.  If you could just ask someone to help get your metaphorically mattress unstuck in your hallway, you would find that another head and set of hands saves you time and a lot of grief.

 

*Libra – Sun

With the Sun here to shine on you and your environment, this week should go by with ease.  Anything you turn your spotlight on will grow this week.  Your only challenge is not to focus too intensely on any one thing or person.  It will be like focusing the sun through a magnifying glass.  Your energy beam may start a fire.

 

Scorpio – Ace of Pentacles

 

The Ace of Pentacles suggest that this is a great week to start new projects and plant new seeds.  This Ace challenge is to get your hands dirty and create new things.

 

 

 

Sagittarius – King of Swords

Last week, Temperance challenged you to be patient, adaptive, cooperative, and to mediate.  Well those themes continue with the King of Swords in a big way.  When he is at his best, he does not wield his sword but uses his mind and wits to win the battle.  Your challenge is to remember the mind is mightier than the sword.

 

Capricorn – Two of Wands

 

Two of Wands is telling you that you are on the right path., and what you are doing is working.   This week continues ahead without any deviation or additions.

 

 

 

Aquarius – Five of Cups

The past two weeks the Strength card advised you to strengthen your sense of self, and the Moon asked you to get in touch with your emotions without getting too melancholy.  This week the Five of Cups challenges you to walk away from the negatives and carry forward the positives in your life.  Your inner life has had its ups and downs but this week it is time to be more optimistic.

 

Pisces – Page of Swords

 

Time to put on your Sherlock Holmes’ hat and do some investigating.  You are not seeing the whole picture and the Page of Swords challenges you to do some investigative work.  Only then will you be able to figure out some solutions.

 

 

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

Nina
