Tarot - On the cards

Most of the time, angelic guidance comes in mysterious signs and uncanny synchronistic occurrences that one must be in alignment with to understand. Angels are celestial beings who live in a realm that exists at a higher vibrational frequency than the physical world. That is why they send their guidance in signs and symbolic messages. Here are some numbers that are seen frequently, and it means that they are near us.

The desire to travel overseas is likely to be strong this week. This could be related to either education, work or getting together with family and close friends. The Two of Wands shows that the wish to do so will entice you to look for ways and means to do so. However this move – if impulsive could land you in more trouble than advantage because the tower appears to show that this is a time for change and you would need to do things carefully and follow well thought out plans to make these advances. There are the additional inputs from the King of Cups who says that the ventures and ideas are good no doubt, but the timing is everything. Follow this and you will benefit. The King also signifies the presence of a strong leader like person who could be a mentor or a someone who leads the pack and you would do well to go with advice and wisdom that comes from such people.

Many Taureans can afford to sit and review that strides made in terms of financial savings and money put away. You have worked hard and now is the time to reap the benefits of doing so. The Seven of Pentacles shows that there is a feeling of wanting to review everything and for the better part it should feel like you have done well. The Hierophant comes as a card that shows that the divine in the form of mentors or gurus or the voice within is there constantly helping you and supporting you in many ways. That support is invaluable because it cannot be quantified. With all this, there will still be a feeling of wanting to take a break from the routine and moving to a place where you won’t have to make decisions or take on responsibilities. This is represented by the Seven of Swords which also shows being weighed down by the overcrowding of thoughts in your mind. Lessen the load.

This week is a time when you will be under the influence of the moon which will make you feel despondent dispirited and a tad confused. You will waver between feeling energetic and ready to take things on and the other putting down a set of emotions which can be most tiring and unproductive. But then hopefully you do go down under and concentrate on what you are best at- planning and moving ahead with new things – creative things- which you are so good at. The Six of Wands shows this aspect juxtaposed with the moon so it’s a bit like swinging from one end to the other. The slower the swing the better it is for you. Keep it at a low so that you don’t suffer from the extremes of it all. That said the Five of Pentacles indicates that there is nothing really to worry about or feel the lack of.

The Wheel of Fortune determines the fortunes in the coming week- there is a lot of good happening and you would do well to be in a celebratory mood. Many things will fall into place and important decisions will come into taken after much research and fact-finding. The Eight of Wands shows the immense fire that exists within you to keep working and doing things that fetch not just satisfaction but also good financial rewards. That the Page of Pentacles comes in to support this line of thinking and there is more to do with youngsters who will carry forward the ideas and dreams forward in the most satisfactory manner. Also, the time is ripe for action on many counts and if there have been plans then now is the time to implement and see them to their logical conclusion. Take care of the health and not burn out too soon.

All impatience and frustration you could be feeling about things not falling into place is going to be a thing of the past- the restlessness and the endless wait for things to happen will come to an end in the days to come. The Nine of Swords shows the frustration and the gritty feeling you have been undergoing till now to open out to the right things finally happening and while justice has been delayed it is not denied. The Chariot shows that things are moving and many aspects of your life that have been on hold will now move. The Ace of Cups shows plenty of good opportunities to bring out the best in you and there is much you have to contribute to society as a whole. This could be in any direction- home, work or bringing out a creative endeavour to its fruition. So do not go by the feeling of stagnancy.

A typical Virgo is one who battles with multiple talents- meaning the skills are many and trying to achieve a high is not possible without compromising the others. It is best to identify the one that fills you most with fire and then take that up with a single-minded dedication for the time being. The Seven of Wands also brings an element of fighting battles with what you can do. It is a bumpy road and you are not very trusting about these challenges. However, the High Priestess comes to tell you that every challenge is a ploy to make you better and better at what you do and to test your endurance and persistence about where you wish you reach. And there is a learning in this. She wishes you see that. The Judgement card is there to tell you that gratitude is paramount to change things you feel are unchangeable.

The Empress card augurs well for Librans who will be benefitted by the goddess of fortune and also for women especially it is a time for being on top and also getting more creative endeavours underway. The Empress also shows that you are in a commanding position and will be able to negotiate things very much in your favour. For those who are wanting children, this is a propitious time for that. New additions are very likely. You will also be in two minds when it comes to decisions with regard to anything to do with water - could be journeys, emotions or something as simple as a drive to the beach. Sometimes your thoughts could be contradictorily giving you a headache. The Emperor is someone who is a mentor, strong man a leader who will guide you and protect you in ways you cannot even imagine.

For many of you, it is time to sit back and enjoy your life thanks to youngsters taking over and allowing you a lot of me-time. The Knight of Swords shows the willingness of those in the prime of their youth to take on life-like they would a battle- fight to finish and this spirit will allow others to take a back seat. Especially for women who will feel this pressure off their shoulders and begin to enjoy their life in all its facets. The Nine of Pentacles also shows a better financial situation and the security factor will be predominant. It will be highlighted this week. The Ace of Pentacles adds to this feeling of security with many plans and actions bringing in the desired results. Even something small. Many new paths will open up and this is a week to look forward to for the many rewards that are likely to show up.

The Eight of Pentacles shows that the most important thing on your mind right now is finance and earning enough money to be able to live the kind of life you wish to. You will be trying to work through all kinds of avenues to ensure that the money keeps flowing. Given the circumstances at this time this is important and to secure the days ahead. Meanwhile, there is also the presence of an important woman who is also ambitious but would also like some sort of conclusion on the relationship angle. This need not necessarily be romantic in nature — could even be a spouse or partner in work who would like clarity. The Queen of Wands brings an element of disturbance and you will need to sort this out. Death is another card that comes to show that there are going to big significant changes in your life.

For women born under this sign, it is a good week- most things will seem to be to your liking and in order to bring about a feeling of being at peace with the world. The Empress is someone who has things in order and control and also brings about great creativity to endeavours and new projects and new directions. However, you must understand that the greatest pleasures come from the little things. So if you expect to become the ruler of the world then that is unrealistic. Which is what the Eight of Cups is cautioning. Get the drift? The thing about expectation is that there is a picture in the head which may or may not match the reality. But yet it could be things you have wanted and have come in a way you may not recognise. This is also a week for happy family occasions.

The longing to move from where you are continues- this seems to be a trend for a while now. The Three of Wands shows that you want to go places and not put down roots but it will be a little more while before you can put on your travel shoes and take off. The Judgement card seems to say that what you are going through now or the situation you are in now is the result of something you have unconsciously asked for. So it is time to feel gratitude for all the things that are right and go with the flow. The Magician on the other hand says there is everything right here right now and you need to make the best use of it all.  All five elements are in sync right now and you can find these in harmony right in your home.

For many of you the primary concern will be to do with finances – the more you will feel in control of things and the environment around you. The Queen of Pentacles means that there is enough to go around and there is control over what is happening. Or it could also mean that women in the family will be holding the purse strings and will be making important decisions. The Hanged Man brings to this element a feeling of being helpless and not in sync with the decisions being made. And if you are not the one in the lead you will be feeling inadequate about how to bring the matter to your way of thinking. If you choose to allow things to go in the way they are you could be feeling carefree.
