Tarotscopes April 2011

I guess lovelies, that you could say I am on an oracle deck kick. This month I am using the Journey Oracle created by Adrienne Trafford, it is a 48 card deck the imagery inspired by Vincent VanGogh, Gustav Klimt and Alphonse Mucha, I find the deck itself to be both inspiring and whimsical. The simplicity of the cards, warm colors and intriguing figures are very inviting. I love how she mixed iconography, and played with the female figures, each one is incredibly similar but absolutely different. This is a great way to discover aspects of our own multifaceted nature, with roles such as the Adventuress. It is also great when asking a question about a particular situation or just drawing a card in the morning to recognize what aspect of yourself will come into play that day.  This deck is useful in many different ways, and I have to say it is my new favorite oracle!!!

So like last time I will be pulling one card for each of the signs this month, letting you know what facet of your personality to make use of or what ability will be most useful!

Aries (March 21 - April 20) – Happy Birthday Aries!!!! Just a shout out Happy Birthday Alysia! XOXO  Unfortunately for a birthday month you may not be feeling quite as free as you would like, the Confined card appears for this month. Trapped within your own body and craving for a light to show you the way out. You may feel a little bit like an outsider this month, and somewhat introverted, take advantage and reassess your own life. Creativity abounds this month so do not be afraid to play around with new ideas and artistic mediums!

Taurus (April 21 - May 20) – Appreciation greets you for this month bringing with her the message to enjoy everything around you, recognize that things take work and don’t forget to thank those involved! Apprecation also reminds you to give yourself credit and a pat on the back for your own good deeds and progress!

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) – Mother Earth asks you to bask in her glory, lay in the grass, relax and rejuvenate this month by connecting with nature. Pampering yourself this month by using organic products and eating organic foods will give you that extra pick me up you’ve been looking for while trying to recuperate from March’s absolute madness.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) – The refined Queen of Diamonds  almost reminds me of a Marie Antoinette type figure, if you remember one of Marie’s most infamous quotes, “Let them eat cake!” Good luck and abundance can happen to anyone, but will you be giving or greedy? Remember to give back to those less fortunate around you and your good luck will be returned three fold!

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) – The Queen of Hearts comes to you during this month to deliver a heart. Trust in her judgement when it comes to new relationships, but recognize that just because she is giving you someone’s heart does not mean that it is necessarily the One.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) –  Instinct calls to you, telling you to trust your gut no matter what. Do not let your analytical nature get in the way, now is not the time. You are faced with two choices, one on the surface is an obvious path, the other may take some risk and calculation but could pay off more in the end. Go with your inner voice, trust in more than just logic and pay attention to the urgings of your intuition.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) – Some news is headed you way this month Libra via The Messenger she also warns that it is important to remember your censor filter during April. It is necessary that you think before you speak as lately you may have been a little more harsh in your words than you intended, forgetting how impactful a couple of sentences can be.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) – The Actress reminds you of the many masks you wear in order to fit into the world around you. Sister, brother, mother, father, lover, spouse, worker, CEO, counselor, friend, each one of these masks, contain an essence of you, but now is the time to embrace all of you. Be honest in your feelings to those around you this month it is vital that you remove the camouflage and allow your true self to breathe a little.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) – You have been pushing more than usual, Drifting lets you know that right now you extra energy isn’t necessary. At this moment you need to just relax and let life take you where it will, granted not all of the stops will be wonderful, successful and fun, putting extra focus onto your current position will not give you any extra momentum.

      
Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 19) – Sirens blair and the sky turns black Storms are on their way. Just hold down the fort this month and wait till things pass over. Skies will clear soon and everything will be even brighter than before.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) – Now is the time to focus on Home and family, make it your place of relaxation, cleanse some of the stale energies from the winter months and get motivated. No one is saying you need to be Mr. Mom or Susie Homemaker,  but you need to rejuvenate yourself by being surrounded by the familiarity of the homestead wherever that may be.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) – You exemplify The Goddess this month, let your feminine self shine! Glory in your curves as a woman, those around you will notice your beauty and be inspired by your strength! Enjoy the attention and allow yourself to be led by your connection to the Divine!
