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: Theme of the Year for 2014

Hello Lovelies!!
As I'm sure you are aware I did not post a Tarotscope for December. Unfortunately as of late my schedule has become insanely hectic and I have not been able to keep up! That said, I am not by any means stopping!!! I will begin doing seasonal Tarotscopes. Structured similarly to the regular the ones I've been doing but covering the entire quarter of the year! So please keep an eye out! For right now we are going to be delving into your theme for the year. For this I use Major Arcana only. This can help us understand the life goals for this year, give you a glimpse of possible challenges or give you insight into the strengths you may need to use in 2014. Lets begin!


Aries - March 21 - April 19 - Embrace your Mr/Mrs Fix It this year Aries, The Magician encourages you to get resourceful and focused in order to create your own destiny. This is a great year to use your wit and intelligence to manifest change.


Taurus - April 20 - May 20 - The Moon tells you this is the year to let go of fears and insecurities that may be holding you back from hitting your goals. The energy of the moon brings the idea of being in a dark basement with just a penlight, you can see a lot of shadows, bit and pieces but never the whole room. It's time to turn the light on Taurus and face the light.


Gemini - May 21 - June 20 - Creativity, ideas and prestige Gemini, this year you step into the Empress and embrace your power. Abundance surrounds you, just reach out and grab it. Time to recognize that you are deserving!


Cancer - June 21 - July 22 - Kill them with kindness Cancer, Strength asks you to control your more volatile emotions and allow your compassion to shine through this year. You will be tested with it this year so expect meet many difficult personalities during 2014.


Leo - July 23 - August 22  - The most trans-formative card in the deck is yours to be had Leo, Death is your theme for the year in 2014. Now we aren't talking physical death, rather many transitions and changes this year. There is a catch though Leo, this is change with a price, so it could be sacrificing one job for a new one, or breaking the heart of another to fill your own with true love. Either way you need to just go with it.


Virgo - August 23 - September 22 - Time to take charge Virgo! The Emporer gives you the ability to truly step into a leadership role. Expect to be looked to for information and positive reinforcement from the people around you as they may regard you as a parental figure. It's also time to bring strict structure into your life, routine is incredibly important for you this year!


Libra - September 23 - October 22 - The Wheel of Fortune spins in front of you Libra bringing an energy of good luck, change and destiny. You will hit a cross roads this year that will bring you forward into your destiny, the ending of one life cycle (think of it like ending a semester of college) and the beginning of another (Woot Woot a new class and new learning opportunities) much like death it is not a physical end but more of a spiritual/circumstantial one.


Scorpio - October 23 - November 21 - This year is all about tapping into your subconscious, Higher Intuitive Self, the High Priestess calls you to your spiritual path. Where mundane things may have bogged you down in years past 2014 is time to ride that energetic high and let your God-Self speak.


Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21 - Take some quiet time Sagittarius! The Hermit guides you towards introspection and soul searching. What do you really want? What is really important for you in this life? Ask yourself the important questions, in the dark and quiet we can hear our true selves speak.


Capricorn -December 22 - January 19 - The World is open to you this year Capricorn! 2014 is a time of accomplishment, completion of projects and literally the world at your feet. Expect this year to be a busy one as you wrap up all the loose ends and spend some time travelling!


Aquarius - January 20 - February 18  - Justice is keeping a close eye on you this year Aquarius! Expect the law of cause and effect to truly rule around you! This is also affect those around you, so if you've been waiting for someone to get their "karma" this year would be when it happens. The truth will come out in every sense of the world so 2014 is a great year to unburden yourself to people in your circle. If you choose to hold things in they will come to a head no matter what you do.


Pisces - February 19 -March 20  - The Devil is around you this year Pisces. It is not representative of external forces (although it can feel that way) but actually internal ones. The Devil is a master of illusion and deception, and can give you the sense that you are somehow bound to him, while you truly the one in control. Time to retake that control and take accountability for what is truly yours. This is the only way to take the power back from the Devil. Look at situations where you are currently feeling stuck, restricted or caught in a negative cycle and recognize your own role within the situation then will yourself to change it. Break free from the chains of the Devil inside you, that is your task for the year.

Tarotscopes: November 2013

 Hello Lovelies!!

Its time again for the Tarotscopes! I hope you all had a wonderful October and are well rested for the holiday blitz that will soon be upon us! Sit back, just for this moment and enjoy the energies of autumn. Aside from spirits and spooky tales its one of my favorite seasons, waking up to chilly mornings that make you want to be a bed bug for just a little while longer, leaves falling on the ground for kids both large, small and furry to play in. Allow for expansion and change during this season, typically fall is a restive energy but I believe this season is the opposite, it is one of great momentum and a wonderful time to begin projecting your energy to manifest your desires!

Scorpio -  Happy Birthday Scorpio! You immediately hop into the Five of Swords, indicating that you are open to changes at the beginning of the month and you have released past resentments. Mid-month the Four of Pentacles shows that you are in a place of financial stability, right now is a good time to show how frugal you can be. You end the month with the Fool in reverse which warns that you should take some time to get guidance from the people around you as you may be missing details or forgetting to read fine print in new deals and opportunities heading your way!

Aries - Make use of your skills by embodying the Magician and using your resourcefulness to pull things together last minute. Now is the time to work on your most important projects as your ability to concentrate will be at its best this month. Remember that whole law cause and effect? The middle of November is a great time to keep that in mind as you move into Justice, be sure that all of your decisions are really well thought out both in the details and the big picture. Now is a great time to get out your pro/con list! You end the month in the Three of Pentacles giving you the opportunity to flourish in a team environment where you will learn a ton from the people around you!

Taurus - Let go of your baggage Taurus! Right now you may be feeling a little held back by old problems or redundant issues, now is the time to confront them and let them go as you sit in the Six of Swords reversed. The Knight of Wands greets you mid-month indicating a very impulsive mind set and an energy of action as you shuck off the burdens brought to light by the Six of Swords earlier in the month. You wrap up November with Temperance helping you to find your balance in this month of extremes!

Gemini - Immediately you meet up with the Six of Pentacles indicating that you are prosperous are now focused in helping those in need around you, charity and generosity are at the top of your mind. You then move into Six of Cups which brings a sense of nostalgia, whether meeting up with an old friend, going over pictures or reuniting with family, expect a lot of joy to come from this. You end with the Ten of Cups (which to me has always been a wish card as it has such a joyful and pure energy) which brings with it a sense of harmony, and can indicate a marriage or rekindling/reconnection between you and your spouse!

Cancer - Embrace your ability to communicate as you will need it as predicted by the Knight of Swords. It is important to retain your own voice within your discussions but be sure not to get to opinionated and react hastily to things that are said. Take a moment to speak to your higher self before responding to any comments or criticisms. You hit your balance with the Two of Pentacles during the middle of November, but it is important that you pay particular attention to time management as that will be your biggest challenge throughout the month! You end things on the Ace of Wands where everything feels new and inspiration is everywhere. Typically indicative of a new idea or new passion that you will be discovering be sure to remember to keep time management in there so you don't get so embroiled in it that you burn out!

Leo - The Star greets you at the beginning of the month bringing you a message of hope and a renewal of spirit. Soak in the good vibes to help prep you for the packed month ahead! At mid-month you meet the Queen of Cups who bestows on you a sense of calm and asks you to be compassionate towards others around you, particularly in work situations. You end the month with the Ten of Swords reversed telling you that you have recovered from a traumatic situation and the end of the chapter is about to be closed! 

Virgo -You passion can be felt from  mile away Virgo! The Knight of Wands comes in to help you find the proper channels for all of the energy. You may find yourself giving in to impulse at this time as new ideas flood your creative mind! Mid-month we see you moving into the Nine of Cups reverse which indicates that during this time you will find yourself focusing more on the physical world and trapped in materialism comparing your situation to others. Don't feed into this mindset and count your blessings. You end the month in the Eight of Swords reversed which indicates a great release of fears and things holding you back. We then see you moving into a new state of being with a different perspective of the world!

Libra -You begin November within the Ace of Pentacles! This a is a fabulous card to start out the month giving the promise of new financial opportunities and wealth, it can also indicate that you are in a state of manifestation so be careful how you think as it will come about whether positive or negative. You roll on into the Four of Cups reversed next giving you the sense that you need to pull back and maybe be a little more aloof with the people around you. You end the month in the Four of Wands denoting celebration, a sense of community and deepening of romantic relationships which could lead to further commitment!

Sagittarius - We see you bumping right into The Fool at the beginning of the month, who bestows on you the gift of feeling free! A new beginning is yours you merely need to take the leap! Mid-month you enter the Ace of Cups giving great depth to your emotions, they may actually become overwhelming in their intensity, there is also a great sense of compassion surrounding you. You end the month hanging out with the Hierophant who tells you that not is a great time to get some spiritual structure back in your life, developing routines that allow you to connect with your higher self, deity and the universe.

Capricorn - Get ready for an intense month! Beginning with the Queen of Wands you greet every challenge with a sense of will and a steely determination. Now is the best time to take on tough tasks and get them out of the way. Next you see the Knight of Pentacles who helps you break down your goals into their smallest steps giving you a more methodical system to work within. You end by meeting with Death, all of this work you've put in this month leads up to dramatic change, but this is change with a sacrifice (i.e. selling your house and moving for a better job) be prepared to give a little bit to gain big rewards!

Aquarius - You start out November by hooking up with the Queen of Pentacles reversed who warns you to keep balance between work and family, it is a tough situation right now making time for everything but it is imperative that you strike as close to even as possible right now. Next we see you drifting through the Five of Cups reversed, you've recently picked yourself up after a major loss or change and you are finally ready to truly move on. You end the month in the Princess of Swords creating this vibe of restlessness, as though you are not being challenged enough right now. Time to break out the puzzles and get that mind moving!

Pisces -Temperance tells you to take a moment and look for the purpose and meaning of the things going on around you at the moment. She also cautions balance and moderation right now, you may feel like going to extremes within emotions, she tells you to pick and choose your battles. Remember your feelings are not facts. Mid-month you shift into the Lovers reversed giving you a sense of disharmony within your relationships. You end the month in the Three of Pentacles reminding you that this month has been chock full of life lessons, sit back in the quiet moments and reflect on the changes your experiences have created.

Tarotscopes: June 2013

Hello Lovelies!

Welcome to June! This month I am not reviewing a deck, instead we are going to go back to the usual tarotscopes that I began with, simply giving you what you can expect for this month! The theme for this month overall is Judgement, whether making decisions or dealing with legal proceedings it is all about change and adaptation. This does not necessarily indicate a hard time or obstacles, it could mean that someone has judged you to be great for a new position at work but it is more responsibility and you have to adapt to it.

The number for Judgment is 20 which boils down to a 2 in numerology, if you look at the number itself picture the position someone must get into to form a 2, kneeling with back arched and head bowing it is a number of servitude, but also that of a survivor, when we see this numeric come up it shows someone who no matter the confrontation or issues, will bend but never break.

The number 6 (the number for this month) represents the caretaker or mother hen, it is seen as one of the most harmonious of the numbers. Don't get me wrong, it comes with issues and upsets but overall the numeral is considered be the peacemaker, teacher, protector and the "glue" within a family or community. A great number for the month and one that pushes you to focus on family, community and creating a healthy/peaceful environment in which you and others can blossom!

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) – Happy Birthday Gemini!! This month you start out in the Page of Pentacles, an inspirational card of new beginnings a young man stands in a field of blooming flowers holding up the pentacle coin. A new business or financial venture may be in store for you, Pentacles is considered a representation of the element Earth, this card deals with all things physical, since it is inspiration it could include beginning a new health regimen. Midmonth you move into the Seven of Pentacles, a man is depicted resting his head on his hands, almost like he is day dreaming or contemplating the seven pentacles in front of him. The results of hard work finally greet you and you are able to take a long due break to bask in the glory of your creation. You end the month in the Seven of Swords, like a thief in the night a boy holds five swords and drops two as he runs away looking back over his shoulder. This card is one that indicates struggles within the mind, there may be a situation you don't want to deal with or find to overwhelming to handle anymore and are tempted to just sneak away. However you decide to handle the situation just do not put it off, either continue your path or let everyone involved know that you just can't take anymore. Plenty of people are there to support you, reach out and use your resources.

Aries (March 21 - April 20) – Lots of Wands for you this month Aries! The 5 of Wands kicks off June for you indicating some disagreements coming you way. Rather than being able to move forward with plans instead you find yourself hitting numerous walls and obstacles. This may not just be people affecting you though, for instance if you are painting your home, it could be the painters or even your spouse giving you trouble over the color. We are our worst obstacles, this is also a good time to assess whether or not you are getting in your own way. No matter what do not to fret it will pass. Be careful for headaches or stomach issues related to stress and tension during June.  Next you move into 10 of Wands, giving you a sense of achievement, but still carrying with it a sense of burdens and hard work finally paying off. You end the month with the Tower in reverse, you are holding things together when you need to let go! Release and let Universe show you what you need right now, it may create more chaos but the lesson is there. You are holding off the inevitable and much like a band aid you just have rip it off to see how things look.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20) – Tap into your creativity and imagination at the beginning of this month Taurus, a unique situation will put you in need of 'outside the box' thinking. Use your charms to better your chances in the romance department and be ready for the unexpected there too! Don't judge books by their cover, don't get stuck looking for your 'type' the person to sweep you off your feet may the exact opposite of what you think you like. You move into the The Star reversed mid-month don't lose faith, things may not be heading in your direction right now but that does not mean you need to despair, it may indicate a need to change direction a little to get inspired again or reengaged with the world. You end the month in the 9 of Cups reversed, you may be getting a little to stuck in the concept of 'things', remember you can be rich in money but poor in everything else, the reverse is also true. Take time to enjoy the things you do have and count your blessings. Try not to focus on the 'I don't haves' and the 'I wants'.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) – You begin in the 5 of Swords reversed indicates that you are ready for the tension to be over, no matter the cost you are over it! This card indicates that you are now more open to change than ever, this can also indicate a change in perspective allowing you to understand what the arguments are truly about or where the issues you are currently facing come from. The Chariot swings by next with a message of control and will power, these are your strengths and you need to use them!! You end the month as the Queen of Swords, your quick thinking mind will help you greatly at the end of the month. The great thing is you will have a lot of new opportunities around the end of June beginning of July!

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) – You are greeted by the Queen of Cups she tells you that now is the time to take emotion out of your judgment, be impartial with your thinking during the beginning of June. There may be a lot of people expressing their opinions around you or telling you (with the best of intentions) how to handle the situations that arise, don't listen to them, right now you need to be completely independent in your thinking. Next we see you move into the Devil in reverse, a place where you break free from bondage and empowered again! Now is the time to focus on you and nothing else! Lastly you work your way into the Wheel of Fortune giving you a sense of good luck, and destiny,  you will be heading up on a turning point close to the end of the month. Continue to invoke your Queen of Cups to help you make decisions all throughout the month.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) – You start the month in the 7 of Wands indicating that after a sense of satisfaction with a project or deal there will be some big competition coming. You will have to stand your ground in order to get through the challenges ahead. Mid-month you enter Justice reversed which puts you in a position where either you feel you have to be dishonest or someone is being dishonest or that there is a lack of accountability. You end the month in the 9 of Wands helping you to embrace your innate resilience. You have essentially made it out of the muck and just have to continue holding strong and being courageous as you deal with the aftermath of the month.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) – You come upon the King of Swords sitting upon his throne, a determined stare upon his face as he holds his sword in his left hand. Quick and decisive thinking is what is necessary right now, weigh your pros and cons but do so with speed in mind! Next you move into the King of Wands reversed, who reminds you that as perfect as we all want to be it is not attainable. You may have set the bar to high for yourself Libra, now is not the time to be frustrated with the lack of progress in your life at the moment. Also be sure to take stock in the friends and people around you to see if you might be getting held back from your success. Wrapping up the month you land in the Knight of Pentacles seated upon his horse he is the epitome of all that is methodical, practical and successful. He has a great sense of responsibility and reminds you to be patient in accomplishing your goals, now is the time to establish daily routines so that you will feel secure and able to take new risks in order to gain your own success.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) – Entering June is guaranteed to be abundant with creative energies that the Page of Cups brings. Now is the time to explore your talents and use them as a way to connect to spirit and the Divine. Inspiration abounds, don't hold yourself back, you may find yourself getting exploring many different creative avenues, go with it! Next you find yourself in the 8 of Pentacles, this is a hardworking card, one which indicates you are working on the finer details of your life, you've got the goals now you have to figure out how you are going to get there! You finish the month in the 10 of Pentacles no matter what the challenges, issues or obstacles in your path this card is a harbinger of good tidings. Financial wealth is always indicated, as is retirement or the ability to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) – New discoveries await you at the beginning of this month Sagittarius. The 2 of Wands indicate that there are going to be a lot of decisions to be made from the new information that you research or find out! Discipline is the name of the game mid-month, you are under the influence of the King of Pentacles who brings a need for focus to your life. Pay attention to all of the details and you will have the abundance you are looking for. Be sure that you are eating and drinking enough of the right things during this time, otherwise you may find yourself getting dizzy and possibly dehydrated. Lastly you move into the 8 of Wands where you are under the challenge of extreme changes, chaos all around and in your life will cause quick changes that need equally swift action. Hopefully if you followed the advice for mid-month you are in a healthy enough state to be up to taking advantage of it! If you choose to bury your head in the sand, expect to deal with this energy for the next couple of months as it will flourish without direction.

Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 19) – Pay attention to your dreams Capricorn, the Moon promises that your intuition will be insane this whole month! The subconscious mind is working overtime during the beginning of the month, be sure to take some time to decode it. It seems this entire month is geared towards your inner journey at the Hermit guides you towards introspection and connection with your Higher Self. You end the month with the Fool who tells you it is okay to take that leap of faith and after releasing your stuff earlier this month with the Hermit you now are allowed to be the free spirit you need to be.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) – Lots of emotion coming your way the beginning of the month, the Ace of Cups indicates that those emotions may become overwhelming so prepare yourself. Even so you will find your compassion and ability for love will change the lives of those around you so feel free to spread it around! Mid-month we see you moving into the 6 of Cups bringing with it a sense of nostalgia, you may be thinking of childhood memories or meeting with an old friend. At the end of the month we see you move into the Ace of Swords with all of the overwhelming emotions of earlier in the month breakthroughs are guaranteed at the end of it giving you a sense of victory and clarity in life.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) – Starting the month in the 6 of Swords tells us that you will be facing one of your life challenges, almost like a rite of passage you will come out of this as a different person than when you went in. Moving into the middle of the month we see that you have let go of old constraints as you fall under the influence of the Page of Wands a sense of looking at the world with new eyes and a fresh exuberance to explore the world around you. You finish off the month with the Queen of Wands which continues to help you stay enthusiastic and feeling connected to the world around you, but now there is a sense of determination underlying it all. Work will prove fruitful but there will be some definite challenges, they are just that though, feel free to put yourself on the front line in order to garner the attention of new clients or bosses.

Tarotscopes: April 2013

Hello Lovelies!!

Who doesn't love pictures of their pooch???
I know I take plenty and I'm very sure Emily Carding does too! In her deck Simple Wisdom of the Household Dog we follow Albus Dumbledog who has seen many of Emily's tarot & oracle decks floating around and is overall unimpressed (except for the cards with the sticks on them), soooo he manipulates Emily into creating a deck with his own spin on it!
We follow Albus on a wonderful adventure filled with simple wisdom derived from life as an everyday house dog. The black and white photographs of this 44 card deck range from whimsical to stunning and Albus is such an expressive pup that every picture is entertaining. If you are looking for a daily oracle that will lighten your heart, give you a solid message AND sometimes make you giggle, this is the one.

Aries (March 21 - April 20) – Happy Birthday Aries!!!! Albus encourages you to take chances this month! It is time for a new Adventure, whether you take a walk in a part of town you've never been before, change jobs or buy a new home this wonderful energy will help you to take risks and gain rewards!

Taurus (April 21 - May 20) – Albus comes by, sits at your feet and just lays there. His message is clear, just be, this means be present in the Now and stop worrying about the future, the past & all of the things you cannot change. Enjoy this moment for what it is and worry about the future in the future.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) – Mr. Dumbledog brings his food bowl to you asking for Din-Dins this card is a reminder that food is a great fuel for you body, but remember to treat it (and your body) with the respect it deserves. Just like Albus is greatful for a good dinner, so should you be for a good meal.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) –Sometimes the Bark is worse than the bite. But a barking dog for most owners is a warning, whether the dog is fearful or letting you know that some stranger is walking two blocks down the street! This card tells you to be careful this month and pay attention surprises await you!

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) – Playtime is soooo important in a dog (or human's) life! Be sure to carve some out for yourself this month Leo and let those worries take a backseat for a while!

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) – It's time to make a Splash! As Albus says, "Stop sitting on the sidelines!" You will enjoy yourself, or at least get the task done! There is no reason to be hesitant you will feel great once you finally get in the water!

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) – There's Albus in the middle of his biting through his favorite toy when his head suddenly perks up and he looks at a nearby tree "Squirrel!!" off he goes running for the darn thing without a thought to his toy. Will he ever get his Squirrel? No...I don't think so. Will he get distracted and lose focus on his current endeavor? Absolutely!! In this instance don't be Albus, keep your focus locked on and do NOT get distracted!

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) – A dog/human relationship is all about Sharing sometimes talking (even to a pet) about your problems is a great way to unload. This month be sure to utilize kind ears (and fuzzy ones too) in order to let go of issues that you wouldn't otherwise have closure with.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) – Albus is almost always a Good Boy and you are being acknowledged for your own sterling behavior this month! Also look for those around you this month that deserve praise and give it accordingly. A simple 'Good Job' could turn someones week around!

Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 19) –You've been working hard Capricorn and Albus says it's time for some Rest. Give yourself a moment to clear your head instead of running at full speed or else you may veer off course and find yourself in a place you never intended to be.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) – Value your Friends this month! You never know when you will make new ones and this month is all about group activities and connecting more socially!

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) – Albus is in the car and ready to go on a new Journey! Best not disappoint him!! Whether it be a spiritual journey where signs come up to let you know you are on the right path or a physical journey now is the time to pull on your strongest talismans of faith and trust that you will end up in a better place than you were.

Tarotscopes February 2013

Hello Lovelies!!!

It's that time again! February heralds an 8 for the month's Universal number, which is a number of Karma! It actually makes a lot of sense for February considering we are just coming off the New Year (and looking back on that past year) and looking into the future for this year. Karma always looks in both directions, expect rewards for past actions & continue to put efforts out there so that you can grow exponentially within this year. I like to think of February as a power month in that it is an in between, not necessarily a month of action it is a great one to plan and set your intentions. Speaking of planning this month I am working with the Star Road Map influenced by the Mayan calendar it is 'Divination Beyond Time & Space' created by Patricia Padilla & Marlena Freelove it is a brightly colored card set that includes a 208 page guidebook to help with your journey to self discovery!
When opening the box initially I presumed the deck was more like a traditional tarot with the 78 cards including major arcana, minor arcana & the pips. The cards themselves are a little bulky to handle (they are more like oracle cards with their width) but they are very well done. However, in looking at the deck you will soon come to realize they are very different, they may include some very obvious similarities to a normal deck of tarot (with a mesoamerican flair) however, you soon come to discover huge differences. There are a few recognizable figures in the major arcana such as Death, The Lovers, The Emperor etc, the World has been changed to The Universe and then there are cards such as Self Love & Stillness which are completely new. The pips look and work nothing like the typical tarot there are 20 cards for Days, 13 for Overworlds, 9 for the Underworlds, 9 Intercessions (think Divine intervention) and another 4 for each of the directions. This deck is an insight into how this culture sees the cosmos, time, spirituality & how it connects us all and helps us along our path. This is a wonderful deck for anyone interested in the mesoamerican culture, or in any ancient history. It is a great way to learn about their world view & how to look beyond the future but into the past & present to see it's affect!

Aquarius - Happy Birthday Aquarius! And what a birthday it will be with the Ancestors who implore you to sacrifice and be reborn, it is time to start another life or another chapter of your life. Let the Ancestors help you to accomplish this goal. Initiation comes next which allows you to begin a grand new journey, all of the tools necessary for growth & abundance is already at your fingertips you need only begin to put things into action. You end with Acceptance, the first Day card in the deck this is about an acceptance of self and your place in the world. Its important to be both independent and cooperative within your community at this time!

Aries -  It is time to look to the East Aries! Look into the direction where the sun rises, take that energy and run with it! You are empowered by your own ability to motivate as yellow energy invades your aura giving you the ability to push things into fruition! Authenticity is the name of Day 7 challenging you to be free and secure in your relationships. Don't be the chameleon blending in with your surroundings and your friends ideas, now is the time to embrace your individuality! You finish February with the 11th card of the Overworld which brings you Clarity giving you a wonderful chance to turn a floodlight in the dark and see things for how they truly are!

Taurus - The World Tree comes through as Divine intervention reminding you that you are a small part of a much bigger picture. Now is the time to 'Let go & let God' you've done all you can to push things forward now take a passive role and see how things unfold. The 4th card in the Overworld set comes forward for you indicating Stability put your best foot forward because nothing less will do during the mid-month as long as you do you will get the best out of ANY situation you are in. You end the month in the 5th card of the Underworld set entitled Regional and it reminds you that that you are not your culture or religion your cannot be put into a box and no definition can truly encompass who you are. Look to art and writing to access the greater reality what will serve your soul's evolution!

Gemini - The Vision Serpent comes to you in the beginning of the month letting you know that you already have the answers you have been looking for. You need to get away from all of the opinions, confusion & chaos surrounding you to find them. You then move into the 14th Day (Wisdom) indicating it is time to gain education with counseling skills and healing arts in order to assist you in giving clear, concise communication regarding your thoughts and ideas. You end the month in the First Father considered the highest spiritual card  in the deck freed from illusions & deceptions our mind has only to catch up with your state of grace. As we move from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius, you will recognize that you have no limitations and whatever images, ideas or notions that your mind can construct will indeed become reality.

Cancer - Flow is the 6th card in the Overworld series, indicating a time self-awareness is upon you. This card comes up often for people who are involved in physical activities such as athletes, people trying to become fit or stay fit, sometimes it will also come up for those just discovering illness. It is all about truly becoming aware of our physical self & attuning to the energy of focused physical movement in order to accomplish goals, rather than 'trying to keep up' or being 'all over the place'. Day 4 rises for you and it's message is Leadership, it is time to work on a healthy sense of self-esteem, and balance all the endeavors you are undertaking. Right now it is critical that you pay attention to the details within your projects & be sure not to adhere to plans to strictly as you may receive some great suggestions. Its important to keep an open mind. We also see Nawal coming in as an Intercession for you, a Nawal is given to every child upon their birth, think of it as something like an animal spirit guide or familiar. Know that as you help others or try to help yourself your own Nawal is working in tandem with you, protecting you and is your advocate.

Leo -  Much like the end month for Cancer you Leo begin your month with an Intercession, that of the White Flower. Considered to be the eternal flower of the World Tree the white flower is the portal where human souls are brought into creation. The message of this all important bud is that you are not alone in this world, we are escorted through this life by guardians and guides, it is ever important that we maintain a clear connection to these beings to help us as we grow into full adulthood, as they will also be the people to help escort us back to the First Mother & First Father. Mid-month we see the entrance of the Emperor indicating a job well done by you or for you, it may also indicate that home and work life is in complete balance at this time. You end the month with The Universe depicted by the Spider Woman who wove the Universe into existence. It is is a reminder to you that you are part of something much greater and a message that right now stillness is your friend. Be still and it will restore you, giving you the opportunity to get back in touch with your spirit, mind & body which will be ever important at the end of the month. No matter what is going on, carry with you that sense of stillness.

Virgo - You begin the month in Day 3 indicating that right now your biggest challenge will be your rigidity in your thinking, and need for control. This card is all about Security, but it implores you to be flexible in all things and let go! Next you move into the 9th card of the Overworld, telling you now is not the time to wait around and be Patient, but rather you've been given the go ahead to intensify your focus on a project. If by this time of the month you are questioning decisions you have made, this card indicates that you did indeed take the correct path for all involved. You round out the month in the darker aspect of the Empowerment card which is the 5th in the Overworld section. When we see this card come up typically it means that you need to watch yourself. Although mid-month you were making plenty of correct decisions, maybe things went to well and you got a little to high on the horse. You are considered a leader, be sure that your decisions are being made for the good of all and not for just you.

Libra - You start out February with a reminder from the 3rd card in the Underworld series entitled Familial. However, this is not as it seems, the card does not suggest you connect more with family but rather you look beyond your role there and see how you can make the world your family. For instance, a wife becomes a mother, as the children grow Mom is no longer a person, but a role, a thing that you are. This cards asks you to go beyond the Mom role, take what you have learned there and from all of your other past influences, genetics etc and apply it to a more world wide vision. Next you move into the Magus represented by the Butterfly God it is a card of deep transformation indicating that your already heading into your next evolution. You end the month with an Intercession from Alchemy! This card reminds you that the only limits you have are those you put on yourself. Remember the journey back to Creator is all about breaking down barriers & illusions we have built up around us.

Scorpio - The month starts with you looking to the South giving you a strong sense of connection to others and strengthening of your emotions and the ability to really reach bottom of the barrel issues that you have stuffed away. The 8th card in the Underworld series lets you know that you have moved beyond physicality and are truly ready for spiritual reality. To the Mesoamerican people this was a Galactic reality, their First Mother and First Father lived near Orion's belt and so this card is aptly named. You end with the 10th card in the Overworld Series called Manifest however, it comes in at it's darker aspect tell you that the end of the month is not a time to sit on your butt and get complacent but rather one to rise to the challenge and bring down the obstacle blocking your pathway.

Sagittarius - Your month is full of Days Sag! It starts with Day 6 (Instinct) which tells you now is the time to really make a concerted effort within your relationships and community. It's really important that you also keep a world view of everything that you do! Next you move into Day 9 (Persistence) which challenges you to learn self-control and find the triggers for your not so wonderful behaviors. You end the month on the 13th Day (Knowledgeable) bringing with it a need to compromise and be flexible in your current situation.

Capricorn - You start the month with an Intercession by La Reina (and no I'm not talking about Mambo LaReina from Mystic Seekers Radio, Tuesday nights @ 11pm on TenacityRadio.com) I'm speaking of The Lady of Guadalupe (which btw if you use her green candle to help bring what you want it REALLY works well!) this card comes in to remind you that Love is the glue that holds all of our worlds together and La Reina will aid you to tap into that. With it will come a sense of compassion, firm faith & a need to help others which will in turn help you. Next you move into the 10th Day (Authority) which tells you to learn patience, practice patience and to take direction from the people around you! You end the month with the 1st card of the Underworld indicating that you are able to make changes even down to the Cellular level, however you may be preoccupied with the physical world around you. The challenge in this card is to change perspective and not let yourself get bogged down by 'stuff'.

Pisces - Point your focus West dear Pisces the energies there are trans-formative however it takes on a little bit of a different meaning, it is not just transformation in your personal life but actually much larger than that. Aspects of the West also include communication, cooperation, and adjustment so at this time it is really important that you work with others and communicate clearly with those around you in order to adjust to new situations you find yourself in. You hit Day 12 (Emotions) mid-month which encourages you to be open and honest with the people around you, don't suppress negative feelings but learn to deal with them in new and creative ways. You end the month in the 20th Day (Simplicity) which challenges you to learn to handle disappointments from yourself or others, mostly due to setting possibly unrealistic goals. It also says that in a perfect world everyone would be fair, but at this moment you have to find a way to get used to the unfairness of others decisions and judgments.

Tarotscopes for the Year 2013

Am I the only one who felt the growing pains of 2012? A great year but with such a trans-formative number as 5 an equal part male & female number it was all about constant change. I am happy to see us settling into a nice solid 6 for the year of 2013 this digit is considered one of the most harmonious in the 1-9 series as it gets along with most all other numbers! It is considered the number of motherhood, caring, nurturing & sacrifice. The number 6 typically favors the underdog in all situations too!! What I love about the number 6 is it gets over the hump of the 9 year cycle. Expect a lot of rather strange events, particularly in the areas of nature & politics! This year will also emphasize the idea that the world is getting smaller. You will want to watch things on a more global scale as we begin to see how things around the global truly do have an immediate effect on us. A lot of people slated 2013 as a year of spiritual awakening, I consider it to definitely be one small part of the giant puzzle for this year. I believe a lot of situations will be coming to a head as the nurturing nature of 6 pulls out issues like a dentist does teeth.
This month we are doing our '2013's Theme' readings! Find out what your personal goals, lessons or achievements will be and how to get there in 2013! This month I am using the Fenestra Tarot by Chatriya! A gorgeous deck, with fabulous artistry published by U.S. Games! I remember working at my first metaphysical shop, this deck was there and I admired it, with rich detail & beautiful double rose on the back of each card. I wanted the deck pretty badly  so I'm excited to be adding this deck to my collection & to bring it to each of you! Each of the cards are illustrated in soothing tones, I particularly love the almost stained glass look that is given to them! They are more traditional than some of the decks I've reviewed in the past such as the Transparent Tarot by Emily Carding (who by the way has a deck geared toward the dog lover that just came out) or this past November's Inspiration for Survivors deck by Aunia Kahn & Russell J. Moon.
The beauty of this deck is in it's versatility & simplicity. It sticks to the same set up as the Rider-Waite but can have mass appeal in its eclectic characters! From Egyptian influences to Japanese anime like figures there will be a card in this deck that fits your taste. Even though the portraits themselves range from all over the globe the running theme of colors ties it all together nicely. This is a great deck for anyone, beginners, intermediates or advanced!

Capricorn - Happy Birthday Capricorn!! 
Theme: Your personal theme this year is the Empress and woman full of life & pregnant with ideas. She is the go to girl to get the ball rolling but not necessarily the one to carry out the tasks. Follow your creativity this year Capricorn where ever it may lead!
Challenges: One of your biggest challenges this year will be in relationships as depicted by the 2 of Cups in reverse, misunderstandings, insecurity & stubborn attitudes will lead to drama & trauma.

This is also the year for you to take initiative, no time to sit on your laurels, you've already been planning now you need to take action!

This year challenges you to look at ten or twenty years down the road.
Achievements: Commitment & devotion are your achievements for 2013 whether you are gathering devotion from co-workers & loved ones or finally getting the commitment from your other half or a raise from your boss!

Gemini  
Theme: The Magician is your guide of 2013! He tells you to use your skills with determination & not to wait for opportunities but take initiative to create them!

Achievements:  The Page of Cups brings word of cooperation, and passion. You will find your success by following you bliss & your love for what you do!

Virgo

Theme: Aim for leadership positions Virgo, so says the Emperor. This year is also one to stand by your convictions rather than playing it safe and submitting to ideas that you may not agree with.
Challenges:  This year is really going to challenge our determination, as the 7 of Cups reversed indicates. Look for a lot of situations where you are being questioned or the people around you doubt your success. Don't let that hold you back though, it's a life lesson!
Achievements: Expect to reap the rewards of all your hard work for the past couple of years! The 7 of Pentacles indicates that you will be making a nice profit off your labor!


Libra

Tap into your determination and will to make the best of the situations coming up this year and know that all conflicts or issues will settle down very quickly & most likely in your favor!
Challenges: The biggest challenge for you of 2013 comes from the Knight of Pentacles reversed as we see you becoming a wee bit of a workaholic. Be sure to temper your work with enough play!
Achievements: Expect a lot of recognition and success this year. You will achieve the fame, notoriety and financial profits that you aim for!

Scorpio

Theme: Death visits you in 2013, no not the physical kind! Expect transformation and rebirth this year, the end of one path to begin another! 
Challenges: This is the year to battle fears and anxieties. A lot of situations will creep up that challenge you to face the things that you worry about the most, whether it is a cheating spouse or the feeling of failure. Face them head on and realize feelings are not facts, merely our mind trying to protect us.
Achievements:The Three of Pentacles gives you recognition for your creativity & craftsmanship. Look into ways to get yourself & your skill set into the spotlight! Once you've opened up the opportunity it is all gravy!!

Sagittarius

Theme: Justice grants you balance for 2013. Embrace it, the year will not be dull but it will be in order. Expect routines that have been established to continue and finances to be in accord.
Challenges: The Queen of Swords reversed tells you to face gossip mongers head on and to remove toxic people from your life no matter how close they may be.
Achievements: The 2 of Wands tells you to go after your dreams! This is a great year to start or grow your own business! Expect a lot of achievements around work & finances this year.

Aquarius

Theme: 2012 was a hell of a year for you. The Hermit tells you to take some time out this year and reflect both on the past year and in upcoming situations. It is imperative that you take a moment and retreat into yourself prior to making any decisions this year Aquarius, no impulsive choices!
Challenges: There are some opportunities to create the change that you are looking for this year, however the challenge lies in the amount of determination and focus it will cost you to create it. For the typically lackadaisical Aquarius it may be a little bit more than you are willing to give, however, that is the idea of challenge....can you do it? That is what the Ace of Swords intends to find out!
Achievements: The 9 of Cups gives you the extra oomph you were looking for in order to help you out with your challenge this year. It is a wishes fulfilled card, so put your energy out there, this is a year of manifestation for you Aquarius! Take advantage!

Pisces

Theme: Temperance tells you to take a moment in 2013 remember everything in moderation, that is your mantra for the year. Especially as you dive headlong into new projects!
Challenges: You biggest challenge is to learn to RELAX!!! Enjoy your respite rather than trying to buck against it, take hold of your solitude and allow yourself sometime for looking inward. Patience is also a necessity this year as things move pretty slowly particularly in the first half of the year.
Achievements:  I would say you are getting to good at your work, efficiency is your strong suit this year don't expect just to catch up but to ACTUALLY get ahead!! This in turn may be part of the reason why things seem so slow and easy around you rather than the chaos you may be used to. Embrace it!!

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.
You can get the deck through www.schifferbooks.com

Sagittarius - Happy Birthday!! You start out the month in the King of Swords giving you the gusto that you need in order to do what has to be done in your current situation. You may feel stuck between a rock & a hard place or in a situation where you know SOMEONE will end up feeling hurt, draw strength from the King of Swords & recognize the importance of this crossroads. This situation will be a game changer for you. The 1 Cups card follows you into midmonth leaving you feeling unconditional love & satisfaction in your current environment. It also may bring a sense of completion to your current journey with the 8 of Swords ending the month reminding you that you are not quite done yet. Don't be surprised if you feel stuck at the end of the month just ride it out until January. Think of it a little like Mercury in retrograde, don't do anything use the time to introvert & review.

Aries - The 2 of Swords greets you at the beginning of the month indicating a state of indecision or a stalemate between to people. Now is not the time to try to come to conclusions or compromises let things stand as they are until you move into the Conjurer mid-month. He represents the will to create now is the time to move plans into action, you can literally move heaven & earth to make things happen! You end the month in the 4 of Batons which indicates you are enjoying your routines, it can also bring a sense of joy with an anniversary, wedding, birth or birthday!

Taurus - You start the month in the 6 of Coins giving you a sense of balance & an eye towards charity or generosity towards others. Mid-month you move into the 7 of Swords telling you to take a chance or a risk on a new project or person! You end the month with Justice giving you the energy to receive what you deserve.

Gemini -  You begin as the Empress giving you growth & nurturing, now is the time to allow yourself to bloom! The 8 of Cups starts you on a new spiritual journey, embrace it & gain a new sense of self. You end the month in The Devil indicating that you may be boxing yourself in be careful of restrictions you may put on yourself. 

Cancer - Now is the time to see the effect of your actions as seen in the Queen of Swords. For good or for negative you reap what you sow. You move into the Cavalier of Cups next giving you the energy to go to the ends of the earth to do what you love or to help those you love. Know that your persistence & nurturing nature will pay off for you. Ending the month in the Cavalier of Swords we see the need for discipline & a more established routine to help get you back in balance. 

Leo - The Valet of Swords is ready to march at your order in the beginning of December the orders are simple explore the relationship between your friends and relationships! You sweep into the 5 of Batons giving you permission to blow off steam, but be sure that when your done you go back to your project with a fresh perspective and an eye towards teamwork.The 4 of Cups is where you end your month showing that even though it may be the holiday season boredom sets in and you may feel like your spinning your wheels when in fact there are opportunities all around you. Open your eyes and be ready to receive your miracles.

Virgo - You find yourself in the Queen of Cups you may be more apt to empathizing with the people, animals and situations around you. There is a reason for this, Universe gives us mirrors in other people, it's time to learn your lessons by empathizing with others. Mid-month we see you moving into the 3 of Coins, indicating that you will be getting recognition or rewards in your work, bask in the glory! You end the month in the Hermit, recognize the wonderful education you've received this past year & appreciate how much you've grown.

Libra - 10 of Coins stops in at the beginning of the month telling you to relax & allow prosperity to come to you, don't block it with doubt & fear. The money is right there for the taking. The Valet of Batons comes in to offer you a chance to learn something new embrace it! You end the month with The World giving you the sense of something missing having been found and a feeling of completeness.

Scorpio - Now is the time to get committed & allow yourself to love something around you more than you do yourself, this is the message that the Valet of Cups brings with him. With this new found or rekindled love you will hop in The Chariot & race off to victory mid-month. The 9 of Batons ends the month for you, indicating telling you to watch your health & continue to fight for your causes!

Capricorn - The Papess greets you at the beginning of your journey this month, she tells you to use your intuition and really let your gut be your guide.

Tarotscopes: November 2012

Hi Lovelies! It's November and time for your tarotscopes!! This month I used Inspiration for Survivors created & illustrated by Aunia Kahn with the companion book written by Russell J. Moon.
I am really excited over this deck, although not a traditional tarot (it only has 44 cards) and more of an oracle the premise is extremely interesting. EVERYONE IS A SURVIVOR! Anytime you have a complication, obstacle or situation to overcome you immediately become a survivor of that circumstance.
I will say the art is absolutely GORGEOUS & so inspirational one of my particularly favorite cards is 'Even in Chaos You Can Find Peace.' the grunge theme to it & the barren nature of the card leaves a haunting feeling that is unsettling & peaceful at the same time.
I would recommend this deck to absolutely ANYONE! Reader or not it is a VERY inspiring deck with a lot of practical wisdom & encouragement to help you get through the day. Th e only thing I would change about this deck is I wish it were numbered, for those that are not intuitive readers & would prefer to use the book it makes it a little bit more difficult to find the cards chosen for that day.
This month I will not be pulling multiple cards for each sign, instead we will give you a theme from the deck for all of November! So let's get on to the Tarotscopes!

Scorpio -  Happy Birthday Scorpio! Your theme for this month is 'We are Reflections of Each Other' this card indicates that you must look past the self and recognize that we are all interconnected through Universal Energy. To me this card may also say that you will be meeting someone or a group of people who are either kindred spirits or may help to cast reflection on your current situation. An instance of this happened to me recently where I was doing a reading for a client who, although faced with a situation of different circumstances basically had the same emotional reactions I did to my current problem. Inherently the same obstacle just with a different cast of characters, it allowed me to be more objective because I was looking at a reflection not at my own situation.

Aries - 'Every Soul Has a Story' and you need to embrace yours & the stories of those around you. Each chapter of that story helps to mold you into the person you have become, flaws & all. They are our life lessons, our gifts & whether negative or positive our blessings. Before you judge someone, listen to the story of their life, look beyond the physical & peer into their soul, read their record & then decide where they belong in your life.

Taurus - It is important that you 'Follow the Path to Joy it is Right Before You' Taurus. You are the creator of your own personal joy, everyone is void of something at some point in their life & although we may try to fill it with the material things it is not that which we crave. Rather it is the understanding & acceptance of who we are or creating a plan & making strides towards who we wish to become which aids us in creating a full heart & a blissful life.

Gemini - Remember this...'You Can Go Anywhere & Do Anything' there are no limits, only those you impose upon yourself. Now is the time to recognize your freedoms & bring your dreams to realization! Sometimes it may take a drastic change to help become who we want to be, this could be a move, a change in love or career. Either way know that you can change on a dime & still find bliss, or success...you have no limits!

Cancer - Please keep in mind that 'In Our Darkest Times We Are Never Alone' no matter how dark it is there is always someone around you can reach out to. Whether by phone, visit or even just by faith you constantly have the support. However it will be up to you to reach out, be open & share your problems don't assume that you are a burden to others by sharing your issues. You may just be the reflection that Scorpio is looking for!

Leo - No matter what you do or your situation 'Chains can be Broken' whether emotional attachments to the past or current attachments to a loved one it is possible to free yourself! There are no excuses to being held back as there is always a choice to be made or action to be taken. In this instance it may mean moving someone into your outer circle, breaking up with a significant other, leaving a career or ending a business deal or partnership. Either way this is change that comes with sacrifice, even if we fear cutting the cord it is worth it in the end.

Virgo - Your message for this month is 'May We Gain Peace & Spiritual Grounding' open your heart and mind to the spiritual connections all around you. Whether you look to deities or just the earth's own energy now is the time to embrace that link & ground yourself within it. Faith will take you through this month, much better than planning will at this point.

Libra - Stand up! 'Be a Superhero for Others Shine Light Back to Them' you don't need to find a phone booth where you can change, you don't even need to have a cool cape! Being a superhero to someone in your life could be as simple as giving them a smile, pat on the back, a shoulder to cry on or that ONE person  that your friend/family/spouse can talk to without judgment. It will be as good for them as it is for you.

Sagittarius - Try to 'Hold a Stuffed Animal & Feel It's Soft Heart' something that simple can turn your day from bad to good. A study showed that partners who hugged for five minutes a day had a more successful relationship & sense of cohesion within their environment. Right now things may feel a little out of sorts for you, sit down with your partner, pet or stuffed animal & give a hug.

Capricorn - 'Emotions are the Freedom Given to Express Ourselves' give yourself permission to go through your feelings and be honest with your sense of expression. Not everything is happy go lucky and you can't pretend that it is or just stuff your feelings because it is uncomfortable in that moment. 

Aquarius - At some point or another 'We Must All Let Go of Hiding Behind a Mask' allow yourself to let go of false perceptions that others have about you! We all have the innate ability to become the chameleon in order to fit in within our group or to aid in smoothing over situations. Now is not the time to call upon that skill, rather shed the mask and let the REAL you shine!

Pisces - It's time to 'Get Lost in the Sound of Music' and I don't mean the movie (although it was really good) a song has the ability to calm our mind & heart. It feels as though this month will be pretty chaotic for you Pisces so be sure to have some good tunes to listen (and sing) to as you go about your business.

The deck consists of a variety of channeled Mandalas that each have a sense of power enabling healing whether on the physical, spiritual or mental level. The Healing Mandala Oracle Cards are extremely interesting and well thought out with colors that provoke instinctive reactions to aid you in opening yourself to the healing energy for the pictures.

Light & Love mixed is healthy. No purple in this mandala, not out of human form. Meaning physical form that can be restructured (the human body)."  Jolie explains her belief that the guides told her there was no purple as it had nothing to do with spirituality and everything to do with the physical body, it is an indicator that you Libra need to stay grounded.

Those who know the 5th ray will be awakened upon seeing this geometry." Once your energy has been brought to these higher frequencies you will be able to connect with entities of Light.
