Tarotscopes - July 2015

Hello Lovelies!

It has been over a YEAR since I've posted Tarotscopes, I had determined to just take a small break and so many things have happened since then. I am so ready to come back with these monthly readings, I have missed doing them so much. I also would like to remind my readers that I am currently running a special for the 4th of July so be sure to check that out here to get in on the deal.
July is going to be a killer month (in a good way) for most of the signs and I sure hope you take advantage! That said, let's get to it!

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) – HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANCER!!!! You walk right into the Tarot at the beginning of the month, typically indicative of sudden change. A lot of my clients look at the Tower in a negative light, but I prefer to look at it as an opportunity in the midst of chaos to recreate something beautiful and new. For instance, there may be some upheaval or shifting going on around work, and you may be bored in your current position. However, these shifts may allow you to change positions and grow within work. So the Tower tells us chaos this month will bring great changes. Next we see you sliding by the Ace of Swords giving you the mental clarity you need. It's definitely a light bulb moment, but I feel this has more to do with love/relationships than anything else, it could be that "Aha!" moment when you realize how to communicate properly with a loved one, or the second when you realize your dating pattern and how to change it. We see you end the month in the Five of Wands which tells me that there is a test of faith coming your way, this is a powerful moment for you to realign spiritually.

Aries (March 21 - April 20) –   You begin the month as the Knight of Pentacles indicating that now is a time to relax in your routines, enjoy them for the stability they provide, if you need to focus on anything it is time management! Next we see you sitting beside the Queen of Cups you are stepping into your intuition during mid-month it is a great time to work on spirituality and following your 'gut feeling'. Emotionally we see you feeling confident and ready to face tough situations, don't be afraid to have "those" conversations. This is the perfect time to do so! You end the month with the Page of Wands indicating that there are new projects that you want to set into action. Unfortunately this guy tells you to slow down and don't get frustrated, there are going to be a couple of set backs but you just need to be patient.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20) –  The energy of the Five of Cups greets you in July bringing with it some sense of disappointment, and a fear of being 'stuck' in a situation. I feel like this is all down to perspective, what I would suggest is looking at the situations around you with this in mind: Is it real? or Does it FEEL like it's real? The reason I would have you pose these questions to yourself is because oftentimes things in reality are much more manageable than our emotional self perceives it to be. The Wheel rolls on by during the middle of the month indicating that you are entering a time of good luck and a proverbial fork in the road regarding life itself. Just remember no decision is truly a wrong decision! You end the month with the Chariot, your will is strong and your nature is passionate, this card tells you to harness both and now is the time to push for what you want!

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) –  You begin the month influenced by the Moon reversed ready to take on fears and face them! Nothing will stop you right now, push through anxieties and worries recognizing that once you deal with them they will no longer hold power over you. You move into the Two of Wands which draws you towards planning for the future, your riding the momentum high! You end the month with the Seven of Pentacles, indicating a feeling of reward for your perseverance earlier in the month, it also indicates a time of great profit.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22) - We see you heading into the Six of Pentacles right off the bat, now is the time to be generous with those around you. It's also a time where financially you will be feeling at ease and able to help. Mid-month you bump into the Eight of Wands reversed which reminds you that sometimes, life is just about waiting. We wait for people, elevators, phone calls, etc. Unfortunately at this time, your going to have to practice patience and learn to wait. You end the month in the Seven of Cups war

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) –  The month of July is going to prove interesting for you Virgo! You begin with the Three of Swords reversed giving you the message that now is the time to let go of past pain, and to embrace forgiveness. It is also a supremely optimistic time for you which creates the perfect storm to aid you in getting past the pains and opening your heart to truly release and forgive. You then move on to The Hermit who points you toward a moment of inner guidance and introspection after having released so much he tells you it is time to listen to your soul self and reevaluate your current position. You end the month with the Ten of Wands telling you that after so much hard work there is still more to be done, this however is more work oriented than spiritual. Lots of stuff being put on your plate Virgo, time to trim the fat and release some of those physical demands before you burn out!

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) –  Nostalgia hits you at the beginning of the month Libra! We see you thinking about and talking about the past a lot, you may even bump into someone from your past who helps refresh your memory! A fun time for you reminiscing and remembering but be sure not to get stuck in the past because there is a ton to do here in the present. Next you slide into the Page of Cups who brings new creative influences, and good news! This is also a great time to look for new opportunities as synchronicity is definitely at work for you mid-month. You end July with the Sun which shines brightly and emits a fun, energetic, successful vibe to usher you into August.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) –  The Five of Pentacles reversed knocks on your door at the beginning of the month, telling you not to worry about money or bills. You are balancing out financially and it will happen on it's own. Spirituality may take a back burner at the beginning of the month as you focus on bringing harmony into the home. You bump into the Lovers mid-month indicates a new partnership, this could be in love or business, it also indicates harmony in the home life. You end the month with Temperance giving you a sense of purpose and balance in your life.

Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 19) –  You begin the month in the Seven of Wands telling you to shoot for the moon, now is the time to get into a competitive mindset and focus on the finish line! Next you move into the Fool who represents that free spirited nature, don't restrict yourself and get a little spontaneous especially with family and friends. It also indicates a time where your spirit will be pushing towards a new destination. You end the month in the Knight of Wands which tells you now is the time to act, he encourages you to unleash your innate sense of curiosity and yield to your adventurous self, this is a great time to try something new.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) –  You start off the month a little slowly Aquarius, feeling like you are just trying to keep up with things rather than getting ahead of them this is due to the influence of the Ace of Wands reversed. You may also feel energetically low during this time. I would caution you to follow the advice your body is giving you and try to spend that extra time sleeping in or resting if at all possible. Next you move into the Two of Pentacles upright giving you the moment necessary to balance your time and your finances. This is also the perfect time to re-prioritize and figure out what you need to do right now or what can be put off until later. You end the month with the Death card indicating a time of great transformation, but not without sacrifice (i.e. sacrificing an old job for a new one or losing a car but gaining another) embrace the change. Unlike the Tower when I see this card come up in a reading typically it tells me the client is conscious of the change, and either have a hand in the decision or have an idea that it was coming.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) – You run into the Devil in reverse right off the bat but he is a helper in this situation, allowing you to break free from unhealthy things, like a dead-end job, a bad relationship, drug addiction etc. Take the energy he gives you and run with it, allow yourself to move forward past the obstacle in your life! Mid-month we see you bump into the Emperor he is someone who gives guidance like a father figure would, he is there to remind you that you are not alone in this life. His solid presence offers a sense of stability to you during this part of the month. You end the month with Strength indicating a time where you need to call on your compassion. This is an interpersonal issue, and at this point you really need to sit back and reflect on the situation and try to look at the other person's side with understanding. Basically its a "Kill them with Kindness" attitude at the end of the month.

Alright my lovelies, this has been the first Tarotscope in over a year and I have to say it felt good getting back in the seat here. I am excited that I picked now to start as it seems that many of you have a lot going on. There will be more articles, scopes and other things posted as well so be sure to check back often!

Brightest Blessings,

Tarotscopes: May 2013

Hello Lovelies!

May is here!! I hope with it we get some really nice weather, up here in the northeast it has still been wicked chilly! I want to give a shout out to my Taurean sister, Happy Birthday!! This month I am working with the Inspiring Butterflies deck, a 27 day course of self-discovery. The butterfly is one of the most recognized symbol of transformation, perfect for this month!! It is a 27 card oracle deck that you can use for yourself everyday or use the outlined booklet to help you transform your spiritual consciousness!
Each inspiring card has an affirmation on the back to help you feel more at peace with your day, it is great to meditate on the cards themselves or use the affirmation as a mantra during your daily centering rituals. Not  necessarily a deck that is made for the professional or even novice reader, however, it is one that is made for the person just getting into spirituality or looking for a deeper connection with their higher self.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20) – Happy Birthday Taurus! A beautiful pink butterfly comes forward for you, it is not the time to hold in Feelings. The butterfly is pictured with almost a ripple of colors coming from it. Indicating that by OWNING your FEELINGS this month it will release them to Universe.  If you are currently in a situation where you feel you cannot express your feelings, then write them down somewhere or speak them aloud to yourself! It is a way of saying, "This is how I feel" and letting it go.

Aries (March 21 - April 20) – Remember that you are worthy of blessings and abundance. The Survival butterfly indicates that this month you may feel slightly defeated, but this card serves as a reminder that you are meant to do more than survive you are meant to thrive. This month may be a little difficult to navigate but it will pass and remember to channel your higher self to overcome your obstacles!

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) – The butterfly of Confidence reminds you that no matter what decisions need to be made and opinions given your voice and your opinions are the only ones that matter! This month is about you gaining confidence in your thoughts, ideas and decision making, so no hesitating just let the thoughts flow!

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) – Be mindful not to just say things so you don't hurt a person's feelings. The butterfly of Truth encourages you to be honest with those around you and yourself, even if it hurts. Approach people respectfully, this isn't a free pass to be blunt. But it is an endorsement to speak from the heart.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) – Fun is the name of the game this month Leo, the beautiful butterfly that represents it is filled with active colors like red, orange and yellow to help fuel your playful fire! Don't take anything to seriously this month and put a light hearted spin on any troubles. Do something outrageous, to make yourself giggle. Share a ton of those LOL cat Facebook pics, or get together with a friend who always gives you a good laugh. It is the key for you this month!

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) –  Three butterflies in green and pink are headed your way in May Virgo, they represent Balance, something that is going to be essential to your spirituality and your sanity! We give so much to others everyday, and rarely take the time to appreciate or pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. It is time to express some self love, which will help Balance your compassion and joy. The soothing green tones of the butterfly represent the heart chakra and aid you in soothing away any obstacles when it comes to embracing who you are and the awesomeness of that! 

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) –  So many beautiful colors for you this month Libra! The soft green and blue tones of this butterfly represent the Unity of earth and air or water, the yellows represent the sun which is the unifier of these elements. More than creating connections with people it is a reminder that the love and care you give to other people must be unified with that which you give yourself. Otherwise it will lead to feelings of bitterness, resentment and anger. Now may be the time to pull back a little so you can reassess your own self-worth and image, readjust that image and then go back into your friendships or relationships with a new sense of understanding.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) – Lots of purple butterflies surround you this month Scorpio, tons of them!! These vibrant purple butterflies are a sign that you need to work on Communication. Have you ever been angry but not been able to figure out why? Or maybe you knew why but the words wouldn't come out to express it? What about a situation where someone asks you a question, you know the answer but you can't articulate it correctly? What happens? Sweaty palms, tangled words, and a lack of eye contact. In essence a lack of confidence or conviction. When we look at someone who has these things it is the opposite, direct eye contact, great words etc. This month is about facing obstacles that will help you to increase your confidence and conviction, that will allow you to blossom in the area of communication. Expect some fear, and maybe even some tangled words, but take advantage of the situation and see it as the life lesson it truly is.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) – OoOoOo...look at all the pretty colors!!! Yellow, purple, green, blue this beautiful butterfly is pretty darn inspiring. That makes sense though Sagittarius, it's the butterfly of Creativity! What a great theme for you this month, creativity at it's essence doesn't have to read 'artsy' it can be thinking outside of the box when it comes to solving a problem. When we do look at art though you can think of it as a form of self-expression and therapy. This butterfly is here to tell you to find a new creative way to express yourself and get your messages across, whether through pen and paper, drawing, creative problem solving or painting a room in the house a new color! Creativity allows you to experience that child like glee again of finding something new that you enjoy!

Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 19) – Its all about Love this month Capricorn!! Your desire to love and be loved creates compassion in your heart, which is why the predominant color of your butterfly is green! But there are hints of azure, blue and purple as well, indicating the ever changing nature of life, the ability to see others in a different light once you are connected to the source of Love & a reminder that you are never alone as long as you are connected to that source! This is a totally reassuring message for you this month when things may be a little off balance and crazy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) –  Lovely olive colors with pinches of bright fuchsia and deep blues this butterfly is one of Peace. It's colors are not overly stimulating but the blue background it lays upon reminds you that when you "Go with the Flow" you are more in alignment with universal energy! Let passion and forgiveness ignite your spirit, this allows the people around to be their most authentic selves  giving YOU the gift of peace!

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) – Get a boost to your Self Esteem this month as the butterfly flits around you! It is time to embrace your strengths and recognize that they ARE valued by the people around you.  From early on we are taught never to think to much of ourselves or get a "big head" personally I don't see a problem with you acknowledging that you are the god of your own microcosm. This is a truth, YOU should be the center of your universe. More often though we fall into the cheer leading role for others and forget that! This butterfly is a gentle reminder for you to be your own cheerleader, acknowledge you innate abilities, talents and strengths, give yourself a moment to realize how wonderful and amazing you really are!

Tarotscopes: May 2012

Hello Lovelies!
May is here!! I hope with it we get some really nice weather, up here in the northeast it has still been wicked chilly! I want to give a shout out to my Taurean sister, Happy Birthday!! This month I am working with the ShadowFox Tarot by Richard and Jennifer ShadowFox. I have to say that I respect all tarot creators, that there is so much work, heart and soul that goes into creating any deck! However, when it comes to this deck I have to say I LOVE the book more than the deck. For those of you who have been following the Truthful Tarot you know that I never encourage people to read the books that come with decks, that I feel it is better to use your own interpretations but this book is AWESOME. I seriously feel it could have been sold on it's own without the deck and been worth the money! From astrological & alchemical correlations to the cards mood music and mythological connections it details everything you ever needed to know. I just want to know how they discovered the blood types of the cards!!
The deck itself is all based off of the idea of shadows, and I get that, there is a ton of negative space and the computerized imagery is not all that dynamic to me. I personally don't get a ton of inspiration from it and it's not the lack of color, I have read many black and white decks. There was no one card that jumped out and said, "Hey, look at me!" or any emotion coming through the cards. Again though, I do respect the time and effort put into deck and the ShadowFox Tarot is no different I respect what these creative individuals were aiming for but it felt to me as though the deck was more of an afterthought to the book.
I may get some flak for that, just know it is MY experience in working with this deck and MY opinion. I do feel this deck and especially the book is GREAT for any beginner or even advanced reader! It is phenomenal!

Taurus (April 21 - May 20) – Happy Birthday Taurus! You begin May in the Seven of Swords be sure to take advice given to you at the beginning of the month! Mid-month you meet the Hermit  telling you to let go of old grudges, and do some soul searching to help you move forward. You end the month in the Six of Swords giving the impression that you will be moving forward at light speed!

Aries (March 21 - April 20) – The Four of Swords greets you at the beginning of the month bringing with it a sense of stagnation and a break from hostility or a truce. Take advantage of it and allow yourself some time to rejuvenate! Next you move into the Queen of Pentacles follow the impulse to take a closer look at your financials, now is a great time to rework your budget and take a second look at your bank accounts. You finish out May in the Page of Cups indicating that now is a great time to head out on your own, there may be some extra obligations that you need to take care of but they are short term. This card can also indicate the birth or conception of a baby!

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) – Pay attention to your communication sources Gemini! The Page of Swords warns that your inbox, text or IM may get flooded with people wanting your attention. Vet them out and be sure to not take on to many obligations. Go into things with a curious and open mind over the first few weeks of May even the oddest opportunities may be worthwhile. Career changes, abundance, prosperity, goals reached! Sounds good right? Well you are in luck! Your in the Ace of Pentacles mid-May, indicating that your financial  and career goals will be met. You finish the month out in the Ace of Cups indicating that now is NOT the time to hold back your feelings, whether you are currently in a relationship or been keeping quiet with your crush don't hold back!


Cancer (June 22 - July 22) – Get comfy in your creativity because the Empress says it's time to be the idea person!! Just remember to remember those ideas! Write down your genius so that you have plenty of ideas just in case later on you hit a creative drought. You move into the Ten of Swords mid-month bringing with it a sense of foreboding, financial issues will become apparent during this time so just be careful with your money. This card can also indicate a possible bankruptcy or bad advice. You end the month in The Fool who tells you to be careful of extravagance and now is the time to walk on the conservative side, really weigh you options and look before you leap.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) – Rule with benevolence says the Queen of Wands some may interpret your current way of decision making as hasty or aggressive but you know what your doing. Do not let your pride get in the way over the next couple of weeks though and be open to criticism. Work, work, work! But are you working because you love it or because it's a great way to keep your mind off of other things? The Ten of Wands wants you to remember your friends and family need you too! The Moon tells you to pay attention to your intuition even if it means taking a more difficult road at the end of the month.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) –  Death greets you at the beginning of the month indicating that there is big (and possibly uncomfortable) change on the horizon. It is important that you go with this change, and learn to detach a little bit in order to take a step back and see where this change leads. Mid-month brings you to the Two of Wands telling you that you have had success with the changes at the beginning of the month but that patience is still called for in order to attain your goals. At the end of the month you move into the Four of Pentacles saying that although you may go by the motto, "If you want it done right, do it yourself." You may be inadvertently pushing away others around you. Now is the time to delegate responsibilities and trust the people around you to fulfill the tasks necessary to get the job done.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) – Balance dear Libra balance!!! I know your frustrated with this seeming eternal struggle as depicted by the Two of Pentacles but Universe tells you now is not time to try to control the situation around you rather stay fluid and go with the flow. The Hanged Man greets you at the middle of the month telling you that now is the time to stand backstage and be a supporting character rather than center stage. At the end of the month your focus should be on your total commitment to new projects and your current path as told by The Lovers.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) – Take time for your family Scorpio! Now is the time to recollect old family stories, and traditions says the Ten of Pentacles. Pass it down to your family, look to imbue them with the strength of your ancestors. Don't let you passion get the best of you! The King of Swords indicates that now is the time to collect the information, analyze, check and double check before making any important decisions! The Queen of Cups tells you to use your innate ability to help & heal for those around you at the end of the month.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) –  Discipline and determination have brought you thus far Sagittarius keep going The Chariot promises you success at the beginning of May. Try it again, and again, and again. In order to achieve sometimes we have to do the same things in repetition to know that we have it EXACTLY right! The Eight of Pentacles warns that you must not become frustrated, that you will gain recognition or promotion in your chosen field of study or work but right now it is about finding the formula for the perfect result you are looking for in the task at hand. This will help you to gain that respect from co-workers and leaders within your field. The Seven of Wands ends the month for you with a great big

Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 19) – Events have been set in motion Capricorn now all you can do is wait to see if your efforts, planning and diligence were worthwhile. In the meantime the Eight of Wands encourages you to get ready for some new adventures coming up which include some possible travel plans. Mid-month brings with it the energy of The Magician, giving you permission to truly seize the day! Recognize that you CAN and WILL become who you aspire to be by using your determination and your talents.

Either way it is a binding and lasting affair in which you will find much contentment and happiness.

You end the month in the Six of Wands reminding you to give credit where it is due and to recognize that your successes (and failures) are due to more than just your efforts.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) – You begin the month in the Six of Cups bringing a sense of nostalgia and thinking about the 'good ol' days' it is also a time to focus on the younger generation and their growth. Mid-month you meet the Emperor carrying with him a call to action, now is not the time to sit on your laurels! Get up, and get motivated! Assert control over your current situation and bring order to the chaos surrounding you.
