Be it the Ostara, celebration of spring and a restart; or the Holy Friday, remembrance of the one-man sacrifice so the rest can live full and free again; this time of the year is about birthing new lives. Like the card I drew today: Pillar of Light.
Some of us may interpret the High Priest (the Hierophant) as "orthodoxy": conform to what's the present norm and obtain the approval of those in power. I think the High Priest represents our own personal essence or soul. It's a card of mysteries.
What exactly is Ego? The ego is a collection of beliefs and past experiences that defines how a person interacts with others and with life.
As the moon's energy decreases and shadows form, it's a good time to turn our focus inward. When we start our inner development, we will discover things about ourselves which we are not comfortable with. And that is our shadow self, the "self" we hide away from others and maybe even from ourselves. The shadow aspects play a very influential part in our lives on our behaviours and ways of thinking.
Today Venus enters Pisces and tomorrow we will have the BIG Saturn-Uranus Conjunction, it's the time to dream big and act even bigger!
The very first new moon of a year, it contains really powerful energies, which makes it one of the best times to set new intentions and review the old. First, let’s look at what 2021 entails based on the Chinese astrology. Then I will tell you what my Tarot card thinks about it 😉.
In about one week's time, we will be welcoming the Year of the Ox. The Ox's all about hard-work, collaboration and integrity. As the moon's energy decreases and shadows form this week, it's a powerful time to seek guidance from the oracle card, on what needs to be released before the Ox arrives. I drew the action card: Break the Chain.
Today we will have the wolf moon of 2021 in Leo. It should bring us a sense of growth and expansion, seeds we've sown last year during the Leo season may be coming to fruition 🍑. The Tarot card I drew on this day, is Two of Wands. Fire element, Yang energy, related to personal and professional development.
I can’t believe the first full week of 2021 has already passed. For me the first couple of days were a bit tough, I’ve experienced severe insomnia and I couldn’t seem to find energy to do what I usually enjoy doing. So aside from fulfilling my day-job duties, I had absolutely no motivation left, at the end of the day, to workout, read or do card readings. Fortunately I feel more like myself again, thanks to meditations and a mindful diet. Now a new week is upon us, I wonder what we should focus on, in order to reach our desires.
This final full moon of the year is in Cancer, it has much of its energies beneath the surface. And if you’re a sensitive person like me, you might have been feeling lack of energy already for the past two days. It’s definitely a time to “go with the flow” with our feelings and inner selves.
I wondered what message the Christmas spirits have for us this year, so after my morning meditation today, I decided to consult the Oracle Card, and the one I drew was the Star Mother. This is an inquiring card, it invites us to search within, and answer the question from our hearts: how can you Mother yourself?
The energy of this time's Great Conjunction is more powerful than ever, since it's happening at (almost) 0°. It will shift our 2-century-long focus from material world concerns (since 1802, all great conjunctions have been in Earth signs), to creativity and new inventions. Aquarius energy also brings healing power to the collective.
When it comes to career choices and personal development, a lot of us are quite clueless, my friend Lisa feels the same, so (of course) she turned to Tarot for some insights.
