Tarotscopes: December 2012

Hello Lovelies!

 It is time for the December horoscopes!!! This month I am working with Major Tom's Tarot of Marseilles by Tom Schick. Named after the author's father it is a really beautiful attempt at bringing one of my favorite tarot styles back into popularity. The Tarot of Marseilles is what was THE tarot deck all the way up until the time of the Rider-Waite deck, it was the standard. Arthur & his partner changed that in creating more elaborate environments for the pips. But personally I love the simplicity of the pips cards from the Marseilles style decks as I feel it truly shows the beauty & importance of the Major Arcana. Major Tom's deck continues that tradition with bright, bold color choices, updated clothing styles (no it's not your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandma's deck) that still retain the classic feel of the Marseilles tarot style. Aside from the deck itself the book is comprehensive & one of the only decks I've seen where they show the importance of the colors & numerology of the tarot.

Aries

Career – You've got the Devil in your Career sector, which means that you may be encountering some issues at work. Try to let it roll off your back, because it almost seems like someone might be causing mischief intended to piss you off. You have a lot of supportive people around you, so feel free to depend and rely on them for the truth.

Health – Watch your hip area and lower back in this week; be aware how you're lifting or bending.

Relationships – Right now is not a time to lash out or for confrontation. Just let things go if you can and take things easy. Relax!

Taurus

Leo

Career – There may be some obstacles in your way when it comes to your Career this week, but they feel to me like they're karmic obstacles. You've been here before – and now is the time to understand what you can do differently. You can only push so far. Right now is the time to release and surrender. And see those lessons for what they are.

Health – Pay attention to your stomach, specifically your lower abdomen. There may be some sensitiveness there this week.

Health – Pay special attention to your hands this week, and also watch out for some negative thinking that may be trying to get into your head – it may bring you down.

Relationships – There's an emotional out-pouring that may be coming right now. Let people know who you are and what you want in life. Be emotionally honest with your loved ones and yourself.

Health – You're going to maintain balance this week as far as your health and emotions, and that's a real good thing for such an emotional sign.
