,

February is here already. I feel like it has been a moment ago that I heard 108 bells toll in 2017,  yet at the same time it feels like it has been years. This year so far has been busy and I have not had time for much music in my life which is highly unusually for me. I finally tuned into the radio while I was doing this tarotcast. It was an classics rock station, and the songs seemed to sync up with the cards and many of them came fro the 80’s.  As I was putting them into your tarotcast, I realized that what was alternative now is a standard.

Thirty years ago, 1987,  the big news in America was Ronald Reagan and the Iran-Contra Affair, high temperature superconductors, Supreme Court rules that it’s unconstitutional to require schools to teach creationism, the unemployment rate drops to 5.7% an all time low since 1979, the stock market goes through Black Monday – largest loss in DOW to date, Michael Jackson releases Bad, Microsoft releases Windows 2, and Prozac makes its debut. Which made me wonder, what will this year’s big moments in history be? Will 2017  be seen as an alternative or just a replay of the standard?

I have added links to the songs that were on when I pulled your card. Listen to the song there are messages in them too.

P.S. Remember, signs with * it’s a big week for you.

Aries – Knight of Swords – The Page of Wands last week wanted you get out and live. You still need to remember that Mars is in Aries,  until March 4th so  this gives you time. The Knight of Swords is warning you that this is a marathon not a dash. This week is all about finding slower steady pace. And she was

Taurus – King of Wands – The Star last week asked you to practice being passively active. This week the King of Wands would like to use that practice and apply it to your work. The challenge is to periodically pull yourself out of your work, take a glimpse at the big picture and then dive back in. You will dance better and enjoy it more if you take these active breathes on a regular basis. Let’s Dance

*Gemini – High Priestess – The fiery atmosphere brought on by Mars in Aries all this month is igniting your frustration. You keep saying if you all would just step back and be logical about this but nobody is listening. The High Priestess is reminding you to navigate this week with your intuition and a broader perspective. Try not to get too caught up in the crazy. As a last resort, you might have to escape into your inner sanctum, so you don’t ruffle other people’s feathers any more than they already are. Solsbury Hill

*Cancer – Ten of Swords and The World – Four big cards in a row. The High Priestess wanted you to turn inward to gain self knowledge. Judgment wanted you to realize what you needed  to live a more aligned life to who you are at your core. The Hierophant asked you what kind of support you need to make this new life/project/idea happen. Now, the Ten of Swords and The World show up. The Ten of Swords warns you to listen to your intuition this week to avoid disaster, and the World card provides opportunities. The disaster comes from  Mars being in Aries, so there is a fire in everybody’s belly. Which is a bit too self centered for Cancer’s sensibilities. So if an opportunity doesn’t feel right, listen to your intuition for guidance. And if you can’t figure it out just put it on the back burner this week. If it is really for you, the opportunity will come again.   Everybody Rules the World and Sweet Dreams

Leo – Seven of Cups – Okay, the pressure has eased off. You started 2017 with The Fool cleaning the slate and having you ask yourself, Who am I? Then the Chariot told you to grab the reins and say, Yes. Then the Wheel of Fortune challenged you to learn to play the game without focusing on winning or losing. The Seven of Cups gives you this week to think about all you learned last month.   This seven wants you to think and dream about where you will go from here. Should I Stay of Should I go

Virgo – Nine of Swords – With all the fiery energy of Mars in Aries, you might feel burdened and tired this week. At times, you will want to blurt out don’t you all see how self-centered you are?. However, the interesting thing around Nine of Sword’s gloom and adversity, is that it not only has a tendency to show people’s true colors but it is also an agent of cohesion and solidarity. This week, remember to not fall into despair and solitude but find solace that people do have your back. Sledgehammer

Libra – Knight of Cups – The Knight of Cups advises you this week to love. Yep it is your foundation. Love is what flows under all that you do. Love is the silence force that drives who you are. This week spend time doing what you love with people you love. But remember it is also a week to spread love where there is none. Once in a lifetime

Scorpio – Four of Cups – Two weeks of fours, so let’s look into this number. Four mean stability. Last week, Four of Wands challenge you to work on making your environment more supportive, yet flexible to your wants and needs.  Now,  the Four of Cups want you to focus on your relationships and emotions, so do the same exercise. It challenges you to see which relationships  are supportive yet flexible to understand your growth.    Would I lie to you

*Sagittarius – The Magician – Last week, The Star challenged you to give yourself a gold star, acknowledge that you are resilient, and that some of the good things in your life were born in poop. With these ideas in mind, you now have the courage to start experimenting in your life. The Magician is here to challenge you to putting some magic back into your life. Do something you haven’t done in a long time or even better do something you have never done but have always wanted to. Remember this can be as simple as learning how to paint or as complex as traveling to those faraway places you have wanted to visit. Black Dog

Capricorn – Five of Pentacles – The last two weeks you had both tricksters. The Devil had you look at the three concepts of illusion, temptation, and materialism. Then The Fool challenged you to walk the talk. These themes continue this week but with a harsher feel but a more practical application. The Five of Pentacles has do with a sense of loss and rejection. But it is also is a card of spirit, fortitude, standing up for others, and being charitable. So take your loss and convert that energy to something positive. I suggest and listen to these lyrics as a call of injustice but also of hope. We are the Champions and Changes

Aquarius – Four of Cups – This week is going to feel like you don’t have the energy in you to make it. But it honestly not as bad as you think or actually feel.   You are trying to do it all on your own when all you need is to look up and ask for a little support. A hug and some love can take you a long way this week. Pressure

Pisces – Ace of Cups – Death challenged you last week to shed that old skin. Last week’s Release, Release, Release was your motto because you had to make space for new growth, and here comes that growth with the Ace of Cups – love. So spread the love, take love in, and then make some more of it to spread around again. Here Comes the Rain Again

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