Tarot - On the Cards

A great week for Aries born! Celebrations, good tidings and all things good are portended and keep that feeling going because it will also bring about a lot of cheer on the home front and in personal relationships. Such times are rare when most of the stars align for a propitious time and an ability to foster harmony and goodwill around. The Three of Cups and the Four of Wands show that celebrations will be around weddings, birthdays, holidays and family gatherings. The combination of the sense of power as indicated by the element of water and that of the fire brings about ambitions, fulfillment and a sense of purpose of your role in life. You could be the bringer of diverse people under one roof for that unifying and togetherness set of emotions. 

There is a slight fear of not having enough finances — it is a genuine fear for a Taurean who is cautious and careful by nature. And some past impulsive buys and expenses are making you think about them and whether they were needed or not. After all, at this point, there is only that much money you can juggle around with despite the monthly inflows. In the larger picture, there is always enough, but the insecurity of not having enough is always there. That said, you are at this point in life when everything is there in plenty — only you don’t see it. A walk on the grass or dipping your feet in seawater will help and ease this feeling keeping you connected to the earth element and reducing this feeling of insecurity. 

Whatever you are planning for the future is in good hands. The Guides and Gurus are well on your side blessing you so that whatever you are looking to do is supported by them. If there is a special Guru you look up to, it would be a good time to propitiate that High Being and offer thanks and gratitude. And that is best done with poor feeding which is one of the highest forms of charity. The Three of Pentacles indicates some long terms plans - mostly in the work sphere and future projects. The Hierophant is the Higher Power that is looking out for you and ensuring that your desires and goals are legitimate and worthy of your highest self. If the intent is good, then you can be sure that you will be appropriately guided along the way.

While you are on a high and on top of things remember others may not be. You could be a perfectionist and achiever while those around you could be tawdry and lethargic and you cannot feel a sense of superiority because of that. The journey for each is different and being non-judgmental is also a sign of a leader and greatness. The Nine of Pentacles is indicative of a lot of female energies taking leadership and initiative showing a great deal of power – especially money power. But the appearance of the Seven of Cups is what shows that there is no point trying to get others on the same level as you. Be tolerant and appreciate any efforts being made and make gentle corrections along the way.  

Sometimes you need to look in directions you thought you never would. When you do that and apply your mind to think out of the box you will find a world of difference to what you can achieve and gain. The Four of Cups shows that you are not looking at things that you overlook. Something as simple as putting two and two together will get you four — but sometimes it can produce a vastly different answer. And that answer will be very valid when it comes to making yourself very different from others. Cups also indicate a host of emotional issues you could be dealing with and not really making an attempt to look at them with new eyes. 

However frustrated and futile you feel about things happening in your life remember that justice is only delayed and not denied. What is yours will come at the appropriate time. The Nine of Swords shows a host of thoughts that are plaguing you without really giving you a proper outlet to help yourself feel better. It also indicates a lot of overthinking which is anyway never very productive. The card Justice has come with a reason. In the infinity of time and space things happen- but in their own time. Again this is governed by clear thinking and precision that comes about with your own clarity of what you really want. You ask for fruit and if you get an apple which you don’t really like then who is to blame? 

Even as you yo-yo between your desires to succeed in life with your career goals and ambitions you are also plagued by the emotional roller coaster ride that you are being subjected to right now. You are finding it very hard to cope with the onslaught of varied feelings that are not making you feel confident and courageous. The Page of Swords gives you the clarity of where you want to reach but the Queen of Cups brings about conflicting emotions. Either which way you need to take care of your own sense of power to be able to see the dreams coming to realisation. Some balancing of your Solar Plexus can help a lot in getting you on track. 

With the Ace of Wands, the week ahead for Scorpios is filled with possibilities of the best kind. And this has mostly to do with personal power and ambitions in the work front. Also, the fire of passion and sexuality is at a high making you very creative and innovative. It is almost as if the forces that be are aligning themselves to provide you with a high-octane time where you will feel very strongly about people and situations. And it is a good thing. The Knight of Cups that comes along with it shows the way to achieve all of this. It is also a time to cross borders. This is where your passion and strength of feelings will come into play. 

All things point to bringing the great feminine energies into your life. it is that time when you acknowledge the intuitive side of your personality and that has largely to do with close interactions with women- intelligent women at that. When it comes the women born under this sign, you can be sure you are the leader right now. You will dominate meetings, gatherings and anything to do with groups trying to make decisions. The Nine of Pentacles shows that you also have good control over financial matters and advise others about investments and other money-related decisions. And many will benefit from this wisdom that comes from being instinctive.

The path to achieving your dreams and visions is littered with battles. And it is a really tiring and frustrating. The Four of Swords comes here to indicate this aspect in your life right now. The Eight of Wands corroborates this and it is draining you and not allowing you to use all your good energies to bring all the good work to a proper conclusion. This part is highly combustible, considering fire and air cause destruction within the body and outside. The heat produced travels far and wide and all the great ideas you might have will come to naught with all the fight on your hands. 

After all the hard work you have put in all these years and days, it is time to be rewarded. And it will come -recognizing all the efforts and commitment you have shown. This applies to the work environment as well as your personal space and relationships. The Knight of Wands and The Chariot celebrate the fine person you are especially when it comes to leadership and leading by example. However, you do understand that you cannot let your guard down as every day is something of a march into the Lion’s Den. And you are prepared. You need not be because the world around you recognise you for the strong and upright person you are. 

Not a great week if you are going to allow your mind to rule your life. And it will because the appearance of The Moon card shows that the mind can spin depressing stories about troubles and trials. None of which is actually going to happen. All it will do is to put you on guard for no reason making you stressed and troubled. The peace will be taken away and you will want to run away from your current place. The Eight of cups that also appears shows that you are also in denial of some things that are currently in your life. Running away from it all won’t make it go away. It would be better if you looked at them in the eye and face them.
