Hi all you lovely people.

Well, it has been a year since I started writing this foxy blog adventure. We are in Libra the sign of relationships, so I want to thank some key people who helped this “kit” grow. First and foremost, I want to take a very grateful moment to thank all of you for reading my tarotcast, giving me input all along the way, and sharing it. Without you all reading it- well, why would I write it.

Next is  Daryl- honey, thank you for all your support and believing in me. You have giving me the time and the space to do this work. Thirdly, my editors Elise and Bobby Ruth for giving me your time on the weekends. Last but not least, I want to thank Amber, Anna, Kerrie, Niki, and Thanna for being my cheerleaders, Kaylynn and Michelle for being my number one sharers, and Jennifer for liking every single one of my posts.

I have decided to continue to do this for another year and see if I can get to my goal of 500 people or more engaging and reading my posts. So far, I am up to 200 between Facebook and web subscribers because you all are sharing my tarotcasts. I am now on Instagram, Pinterest (Nina Fox Baldwin), and Twitter(thefoxandthetarot) too. I hope you enjoy reading this outpouring as much as I like providing it for you! May light be on you, light around you, and light within you!

P.S. For all you email subscribers who click to my site, there will be a little something extra in your email box in a couple of weeks. Remember, when signs have * it’s a big week for you.

Aries – Two of Cups – Whew, you can now take a breath from your five weeks of “big work”. So let’s just review what you all have accomplished – you have tried out new experiences, made small changes, had some amazing epiphanies, Created, and Conjured. Now it is time to use this wonderful new moon energy in Libra to relax and re-connect with your partner.   And if you don’t have a partner, this is a great week to put yourself out there. Love is in the air.

Taurus – Nine of Pentacles – The Nine of Pentacles continues the message of balancing your work and play.   Hello Libra balancing the scales. However, the Knight last week warned you to watch lowering your energy because it could take you off course. This week the Nine of Pentacles wants you to do a bit more contemplating. The planets are helping this contemplation for the next three months by asking – where or what do you want to be/do by 2018.

*Gemini – The Star – Last week your challenge was to step back and re-evaluate your game plan. Now that you have figured out what you are missing or isn’t working in your life, you can start to mend, heal, and think towards the future. The Star’s lessons are around peace, harmony, healing, and trust. The Star challenge is, especially after these past 2-3 years, to pick optimism over pessimism. The Star asks you is to spend time listening to your inner voice this week and ask yourself what do I need to heal in my heart, body or soul. This can literally be putting band-aids on your wounds (and knowing Gemini maybe you need to stock up your dwindling supply and don’t forget the antibiotic cream) or as complex as cuddling with your lover/child/pet and trying to figure out how can I do more of this.

Cancer – Ace of Swords – I hope you took some time to replenish some peace, healing, harmony, and/or trust in your life last week, because that mini reboot gained you a balanced perspective to do this week’s work. The Ace of Swords’ challenges you to start strategize what you want your next two years to look like.

*Leo – The Hermit – Okay, I hope you had your fun in the Sun with your peeps last week. Because this week the Hermit’s lesson is about pulling back and gaining that big picture perspective. And you will definitely need some solo time to hear yourself think. You are working on creating some big changes that started a week ago with the High Priestess. Your timing is perfect because the planets are revving up for a new two year cycle. So The Hermits challenge can be as simple as just stepping back from your work and tweaking what seems off. Or The Hermit card can be as complex as stepping back from your life and seeing if the road you are traveling is getting you to where you want by 2018. You might be surprised at how far you have come.

Virgo – Three of Swords – The Three of Swords’ lessons are all around thoughts that hurt your heart. Here is the amazing and challenging thing with this card, if you voice your sadness and hurt then your heart will heal. This does not mean go tell off the person who hurt you. This is about letting yourself feel your feelings and find it in your heart to forgive yourself for feeling hurt. Then you can walk away from the situation without carrying around someone else’s useless and hurtful thoughts.

Libra – Nine of Swords – The Nine of Swords’ lesson is around letting go of control. There will be some things that will be out of your control this week. Your challenge will be to accept that. The more you try to control either people or situations the more it will deplete your energy. I know you Libras like everything balanced and everyone taken care of. However, you don’t need to take on that challenge alone. Let other people be responsible for their own happiness, so you can work on yours.

*Scorpio – Moon – The Moon’s lessons are around the hidden and the unconscious. This higher arcane card is the beginning of your wind down to your next birth year. It is challenging you to go into the shadowy realms and to find treasure. This can be as simple as finding what is hidden under your couch cushions, mediating and letting your subconscious tell you your deepest desires, or as complex as mediating/sitting quietly and getting to your unconscious for the real hidden jewels.

Sagittarius – Eight of Swords – Argh, Eight of Swords. This week you are laced with the indecision. The lesson around the Eight of Swords is you are binding yourself with all the “what ifs”.   So your challenge is to ignore the thoughts that based in your insecurities.   Then you can tackle the thoughts/questions which actually have a solutions.

Capricorn – King of Wands – Last week you hopefully began figuring out who you collaborate well with for up- coming projects. This week the King of Wands continues the theme of creation but adds authority. The King of Wands is asking – What do you want to create in the next two years and are you taking the right steps to get there? So now you have a good idea of your collaborators for the next 3 months to two years,  the King is challenging you to start doing your part  even though they may not be ready.

Aquarius – Knight of Swords – Knight of Swords lessons are around rushing in without thought. So his challenge is pretty easy – slow down and think before you go. Just a little extra caution for air signs you can be a bit “head in the clouds/mind” and clumsy, so pay extra attention this week to crossing the street, walking up and down stairs, and no running with scissors.

Pisces – Two of Wands – For the last month you have been working on tying up loses ends on the material and thought planes and thinking about new beginnings on the emotional and spiritual planes. You have another week to continue this theme. This week the Two of Wands is about tying up losses ends and planning for the coming three months to two years. Your plans are solidifying and you are about to start the new path, so make sure the past is settled.

Nina
