Jupiter Turns Direct

Jupiter's Red Spot from Voyager I (1979) @ NASA

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” ~Socrates

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” ~Wayne W. Dyer

Mighty Jupiter turns direct on January 30th, 2013 at 6:37 am EST, completing its retrograde motion that it's been in since October 4th, 2012. Those that have planets close to 6 degrees within Gemini when Jupiter stations direct, or within the other air signs of Libra or Aquarius, are most likely to feel this shift a little stronger. During the retrograde time we focused more on our inner thoughts, consciousness, and growth within ourselves. The next few months as it will finish its time in Gemini, we'll be more willing to share what we've learned and will start wanting to learn more from others as well, before it moves into Cancer on June 25th, 2013; when we will want to take a more stable and traditional approach.

Jupiter rules Sagittarius and while it is in Gemini it is said to be in it's "detriment" since Gemini is opposite to Sagittarius. However, that doesn't mean that it's really a "bad" thing, it just means the energy reacts a little differently; as it does in any sign! The sign in which Jupiter is in shows us what we're looking to expand on and how we will benefit from our actions. While it's retrograde, we tend to hold that action back and go through a pro vs. con list. Now that it's starting to move "forward" again, we can start taking that action! Because it is the first of the outer planets, it also represents a broader sense of social and spiritual philosophy. Being in Gemini we can think on a grander scale, maybe those lofty ideas aren't so out of reach! We're also more willing to understand different cultures and learning a new language at this time seems to be somewhat easier. If you've been wanting to brush up on a foreign language, now is the time! Going on a trip, even if it isn't somewhere long distance and just ends up being something completely new to you, will be more easily appreciated as well. I know for me that I'll be utilizing the influence of the writing side of things that comes from Jupiter being in Gemini!! So if you've neglected a blog, started writing a book and haven't finished, or you just want to find time to read a book (count me in on that one as well!), you can definitely use this time to you advantage! I have noticed quite a few people have been having more psychic/intuitive experiences as well as Jupiter is getting closer to turning direct; so if this is something that interests you; expanding on your own abilities would be something that would be benefited by this energy!

Now is the time to focus on the more long term goals that you have and the various routes you can take to achieve them. It isn't set on the straight and narrow and reminds us that life has twists and turns and even some great storms! Utilizing the energy to it's full capabilities will have you realizing that there are always multiple options available in any situation!

I hope the next few months find you well and you are blessed with limitless opportunities! If you would like me to take a more personal look at how Jupiter, or the other planets, are affecting you; or you would like to know how you can expand on your intuitive abilities, please send me a message at facebook or my email and I'll be glad to help!

Bountiful Blessings!

January 28th - February 3rd Tarotscopes

Go Red For Women @ the American Heart Association!

Wow... So here we are finishing out the first month of the new year! I swear I've been paying attention more to the firsts going on. Maybe because we survived the 2012 apocalypse. LOL! But it could just be because I have an 18 month old and 6 month old running the household a little more these days, so it's ALL about "firsts"! And this is one reason why I went with the graphic that I did too.

I could have put the focus more on the fact that Jupiter is turning direct or that Imbolc is coming up, but I'm pretty sure I'll manage to get posts in for it. At least that's what I'm hoping to manage to finish up! Anyways, I wanted to bring more attention to the dangers of heart disease. Being in my 30's, I'm fast approaching that time where I'll be joining ranks of yearly mammograms, yea. Actually I was told I should start doing it next year. But unfortunately, I lost one grandmother to breast cancer and the other to heart disease so I'm already at risk. If you're on my facebook, you might have noticed a few weeks back that I mentioned a friend of mine has actually survived a heart attack... and she's younger than me! So that definitely was a wake-up call. I finally decided to give up smoking and have now made it 2 weeks of being smoke free! YEA! And I'm wanting other women to be aware of the risk they may be putting themselves at. So please take a look at the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women and learn how you can reduce your risk!! This will be the first time I wear red on Feb 1st; for my friend, for my grandmother, and for my own health!

Ok, that's my little rant! And now it's time for some fun Tarotscopes!

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)- With your ruling planet Mars entering Pisces and your 12th house of enlightenment on Friday, you can expect to feel a pull during the week. Usually you have no problems asserting yourself, but your feelings of self-doubt are going to end up creeping in and might leave you feeling like you're not being honest with what is truly going to make you happy. Allow yourself to take some time to figure things out. You don't need to force yourself to make a decision with things and try not to let others make decisions for you, although it might be easier to let that happen!

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)- If you've been ready for things to get better in your career, once your ruling planet Venus, that also rules money, moves into your 10th house of career on Friday, things will finally start to look up! There may also be some communication that comes from a woman bringing some good news for you or a woman you are close with will be able to offer some advice about the direction you should take. This is going to be a great week to work on some creativity as well in some capacity. Being able to take pride in your talent will give you a boost in your self-esteem!

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)- This week you'll need to be careful of how you present your thoughts and communicate with others with your ruling planet Mercury in your 9th house of philosophy! It might come out the wrong way and you might be feeling like no one understands you! And you could be alienating yourself by having too much "authority". Try not to close yourself off to the opinions that others might have, you could learn something in a way you hadn't considered before. You may also need to be somewhat suspicious of others intentions if you feel you're being led astray. You need to know who you can trust!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)- Emotionally you're feeling the "wane" after Saturday's Full Moon and could be asking yourself how much is TOO much! You'll need to really take a look at what you're wanting to achieve and whether or not you'll be able to handle the demands. If you're trying to make things easier for others, you might just be demanding too much of yourself. Just make sure that you don't give up because somewhere with what you're trying to accomplish, IS your true desire! Right now it's just a balancing act of trying to figure out work with play. You can't always take things in life too seriously!

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)- The weekend's Full Moon in your sign left you feeling that you could have it all! And the feelings continue as the Sun is currently in your 7th house of balance! However, you are going to need to figure out where to start first. You can't have too many irons in the fire or you'll just end up burning out this positive energy! Take this time to decide what will bring you the best results. You'll also be feeling that you're able to get a lot closer to others at this time as well. Be thankful for those that really understand and stick by you through thick and thin!

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)- Things are starting to feel a little more stable! And with the Sun and your ruling planet Mercury in your 6th house of routines, you've been able to get things in line. But that doesn't mean you're able to rest on your laurels just yet. There's still a lot to accomplish and if you take a break now, you might be starting over again. You can see the clearing through the forest, you just need to keep going! You might also be receiving some surprising news this week or someone you haven't heard from in a while might be coming back into your life.

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)- You'll be feeling your inspiration flowing this week as the Sun is already shining through your 5th house of creativity and your ruling planet Venus joins the party on Friday! You might not know where you're going, but you also don't really care right now! As long as you're having a good time is all that matters. The past was a learning experience and you'll be able to apply what was relevant, but the negativity that was around is now going to stay there and you're able to move forward with a lot more optimism. Enjoy your enthusiasm for life and share it with others!

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 22)- You'll need to keep with the progress you're making, even if it's been a little more frustrating than you anticipated! The changes you've been working towards will soon be realized, it's just going to take some time. You don't need to feel as though things are failing, your courage will help you see things through. Others may want to convince you otherwise though. No matter what happens to come your way this week, you'll be able to take things in stride and come to the best conclusion to get what you need to succeed! Sometimes you're more than happy to take on a challenge!

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)- With your ruling planet Jupiter turning direct this week, expect things to be changing within your relationships! This could be good or bad depending on how you want to look at it! Even if things do come to the forefront that you hadn't wanted to admit to, now is the time to clear the air. Being able to be honest has usually never been a problem for you, but this time it could be tough to find the words you want and need to say. It's true that others around you will only be as happy as you are. It's time to close the door on the past!

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)- Take this energy this week and run with it! With your ruling planet Saturn in your 11th house of hopes and dreams and the Sun in your 2nd house of self-worth, you might just be feeling like things have finally turned a new leaf! You're realizing that sometimes you just have to go with the flow and be adaptable to changing situations, even if you can't see the rainbow after the rain! This comes with a deeper feeling of gratitude for your struggles as well. When Venus joins your 2nd house on Friday, treat yourself to something special! You've definitely deserved it with all the hard work you've been doing!

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 19)- Even with so many planets in your sign right now, this week you might be feeling you're being forced to deal with things you might not be ready for! At this time it won't be what you can achieve for others or what you can do on your own, but being open to accepting others to come into your life and assisting you more. Emotionally you're able to understand things on a grander scale, but it can be tough to understand your own needs. It's ok to be a little indulgent at times! Let go of your doubts and allow yourself to truly be free!

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 18)- Things this week might be a little rough emotionally and you might need to find some hope! Even if it's the slightest bit. And really it could be that you're just focused on the negative side of things! There's always a reason these things happen. Allow others to lend you a shoulder or an ear! Keeping the faith that you are doing what you can and limiting any anxiety you have will be essential this week. If others can't understand where you're coming from, try not to be irritated by it. Give yourself permission to take a break. It'll all come together when it needs to!











I hope you enjoyed this week's Tarotscopes, even if they might not have been the best news for you! And, as always if you'd like a reading, I can take a look at things for you more in depth! Feel free to send me a message at facebook or my email!

Many Blessings and have a great week everyone!

Full Moon in Leo

Leo Fairy - @ Etsy by Fairies By Nuria

The Full Moon in Leo occurs at 11:38 PM EST on Saturday and is the first Full Moon of the new year! With the energy being on the Leo/Aquarius axis the feeling of creativity within ourselves that we can share with others is brought to light! The ruler of Leo is, of course, our life force the Sun. Leo rules the 5th house; our house of creativity, among other things. It's one reason I picked the picture to use. I LOVE Etsy!! There are some awesomely creative artists on there! And sooner or later I'll be putting up some of my work there; both artwork and magickal items that I make such as incense, herbal body sprays and perfumes, household sprays, etc. Aquarius' rules the 11th house; our house of friendships and hopes and dreams. The traditional ruler of Aquarius is Saturn which also is the ruler of Capricorn.

And so the The New Moon in Capricorn that occurred on January 11th, gave us the need to find direction and security in our emotions. Now that we're at the Full Moon we are at a culminating point of feeling that the way we express our individuality will directly affect the way we feel about ourselves in a way that also reflects our self confidence to others... But that's not always so easy to come to terms with at times either and we all have our own doubts with the hopes and dreams we wish to achieve. So what better time than the Full Moon to cast a spell to cast out our doubts! Saturday is ruled by Saturn as well, and since Saturn can be a little restrictive in nature, usually spells are done in a way of binding or banishing. You see how everything just seems to fall into place together? Such is the way of nature! And so, here we are with a spell to get rid of self doubt and to pick ourselves up with some confidence. Of course, you can alter it if you like!!


✪ Spell to Cast Out Self-Doubt ✪
Items needed: a red or pink candle (for self love), white candle (for cleansing), black candle (for banishing), salt (preferably sea salt), sugar, 2 pieces of paper, and 2 heat resistant bowls.

*Before the actual working you may wish to take a bath and place some salt in it as well to draw out any negativity, or a shower and visualize the water bathing you in white light!

Arrange the 3 candles in a triangle with the red candle on the left side (the receptive side), the black candle on the right side (the active side), and the white candle at the top of the triangle (the divine). Place the 2 bowls between the top candle and side candles.. this sorta makes a star out of the items! In the bowl on the left, place some sugar; in the bowl on the right, place some salt. Make sure you keep a little of the salt and sugar handy for the next part!

Take one of your pieces of paper and write down all your doubts and fears. Really get it all out there of what you're scared to achieve, any insecurities you feel, etc.. Place this in the bowl of salt. Take your other piece of paper and write down all that you're wanting to achieve, your positive attributes, etc.. Place this in the bowl of sugar.

Now take the paper from the salt, sit and think for a moment of the feelings and really FEEL the energy that comes from this worry, fear, anxiety... then say: "I bind my low self-esteem and doubt. With these feelings, I can do without. Take this negativity away from me. And as I will, so mote it be!". Light the black candle and burn your paper of doubt and fear in the salt bowl and toss some more salt into it to cast out your fears!

Then take the paper from the sugar and sit and think about how much you're appreciated by others, the friendships you have, the creativity that is within you and the hopes and dreams you want to achieve. Bring this energy into you and feel yourself expand in hopefulness! Then say: "I bring to myself creativity and love. With blessings from the divine above. These changes that I need to see. And as I will, so mote it be!". Light the red or pink candle and burn your paper of hopes and dreams in the sugar bowl and toss some more sugar into it for sweet blessings!

Take a moment to watch these 2 candles burn and feel yourself letting go of the fears as they're replaced with of feelings of love, hope, strength and the desire to achieve the best that you can! Hear the roar of the mighty lion!!

Now light the white candle and continue to feel, and visualize yourself as confident, creative, and successful. Then say: "For the good of all, with harm to none. As I will, let it be done!".

Continue to let the candles burn down for as long as possible, preferably completely. But if you can't, take any remnants and either bury them in some dirt, throw them in a body of water, or just toss them in the trash!



I hope this Full Moon brings you closer to your dreams and strengthens you belief in yourself!! And if you would like me to personalize some spellwork for you or would like me to take a look at what you can expect over the next moon cycle, take a look at my services page or send me a message at my email or facebook and I'd be happy to assist you!

Many Blessings!!

January 21st - 27th Tarotscopes

I had seen another MLK Jr. quote earlier in the week that I had wanted to use, but alas, I can't remember where I had put it and then when I saw this one I thought WOW, this one is just 10x even better!!

Lately, I've seen a lot of derogatory comments being made about the President and well, just comments in general that are really hateful and coming from a place where it just seems people would rather separate themselves from others that might have a different opinion than themselves. Even friendships are being affected! Diversity is GREAT! And RESPECT is awesome. And that's really something everyone deserves. It doesn't matter if you completely agree with someone, you don't even have to agree at all, just respect their right to an opinion. There's no reason to have so much hate!! With LOVE, ANYTHING is possible!

So with that.. Here's MY take on what's coming for the upcoming week.. though you might see the cards differently! ;)

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)- Your ruling planet is in your 11th house of hopes and dreams and you might be feeling a little lost right now. You might even be feeling like you're "owed" and are tired of it seeming like everything needs to be a struggle. Even if you thought you had it all figured out and things still haven't panned out the way you planned. It doesn't mean you should give up! Pick yourself up and give things another go! You could really be surprised that giving things another chance might bring. This week reminds me of the Japanese Proverb; "Fall down seven times, stand up eight". Don't let your attitude stand in the way of success!

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)- This week you can expect things to be changing! And possibly at a quick pace! Just make sure you have all the facts with things or you might feel something is being overlooked. Don't go along with things you don't trust or you could find yourself regretting it later! If you've already been trying to get things in order, you won't want to create more headaches for yourself. Let yourself get into a steady routine before you think you've come to the end of the road. At least you're headed in the right direction with things, but it's not time to celebrate just yet.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)- Emotionally you're feeling like you need to look at things in a different light! Maybe you've been too hasty in your decisions. Trying to get your head and your heart to match up might be a little tough to manage right now. Just don't make excuses for anyone's actions; whether they be yours or someone else! See things for what they are and accept them. What's able to change, will.. and what won't, well, that's just the way it is for now! Everyone has their own way of emotionally and mentally handling things. Decide what you really want and need!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)- After last week you're starting to feel a little more "recharged" and you've got a clearer picture for where you're headed. You might even have some new ideas and even a little more inspiration and enthusiasm for what you want to achieve! You're more than willing to put in the work, but you have to make sure you don't burn out! Make sure you give yourself a break and actually ENJOY what you're doing and aren't doing it strictly to get ahead. Find that balance between work and play so you can emotionally stay in a positive state of mind!

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)- The Full Moon is in your sign on Saturday and you could be feeling as though it's time to let go of things that aren't any good for you. Even past resentments! Your ego or pride may still be reeling from it and wishing things would have been different. But it's time to move on and give yourself a break from what could have been. Tomorrow is a new chance and opportunity where you can change things completely. When there's obstacles in the way, you can overcome them as long as you face them confidently! Even if you have to tackle them alone!

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)- Could things seem any more perfect this week?! Your ruling planet Mercury is currently in your 6th house of routines; notice how the Lovers is the 6th card?! The Lovers is also represented by Gemini, also represented by Mercury.. 2 halves of a whole. You've figured out what works! After last week's shakeup, you're seeing the bigger picture! Merging your thoughts and feelings with your actions. While you might not be complete aware of what you're doing, just keep doing it! Even if it seems like things are out of your comfort zone, the more you make something a habit, the easier it will be!

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)- With your ruling planet Venus in your 4th house of stability you might be feeling you'll need to take a different approach to things. You're usually rather fair and willing to see the sides to every story, but this time the decisions are going to be on you to decide where you really stand. And if you're not ready to give a "ruling" yet, that's fine too. Don't feel like you have to rush things. Everyone needs some time to themselves. Take some time to really think about what you want. Compromising is one thing, but you shouldn't need to compromise yourself for happiness.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)- And just when you thought you had it all figured out, you're starting to wonder if you've made the right decisions! AGAIN! It's ok to make sure you have things in place, but you might be obsessing a little this week. If you feel like you've been going at things alone, you might have put yourself in that position. Reach out if you need to and get another perspective. Or maybe you didn't want to really listen to someone the first time! You might have a total change of heart with things if you take a better look at what you're trying to achieve.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)- Last week you had been on top of the world, this week you might be more in your own little world! Don't get too lost in thinking that you know best though. Especially with Saturday's Full Moon illuminating your 9th house of higher thought! Your way is NOT the only way! If you didn't look for that helping hand I mentioned, it could be time to do it before you miss the opportunity. You need to realize that your responsibilities are not a burden, it's just part of life. As much as you'd like to think things are just fine, don't let your emotions get the better of you.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)- I thought I said last week "no excuses"?! If you HAVE been able to lift the burdens from yourself, don't feel sorry for someone else... that's still an excuse! Everyone has to do their fair share in things! The Full Moon occurs on Saturday in your 8th house of transformation. Take it's energy and use it to your advantage to stand up for yourself! If you're feeling it won't make a difference, you won't know until you try! You're not usually one to give up easily, but you shouldn't be taking on more than you need to either. Just keep going, it'll pay off!

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)- Synchronicity abounds!! The Sun just moved into your sign... and here it is! The Sun is our energy, it's what gives everything life and sustains us. This week you will feel a complete renewal of hope. It won't matter if you don't have the answers because just having the chance to make things different is alright by you! You're ready to shine a little brighter and you want everyone else to have the chance to shine too. For you, every little bit of effort amounts to something. For you humanitarian water bearer's this reminds me of the quote by Ryunosuke Satoro "Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.".

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)- You could find yourself a little irritable this week.  Especially if you feel like you need to step into a role that you don't like being in. This could leave you feeling as though others may be a little unreliable and that you're needing to do things more on your own. But you could be doubting your capabilities. Stand strong and you'll show everyone what you're made of! You might even surprise yourself! Taking things on you might be unsure of will give you more confidence, even if you have to fake it til ya make it!











I have to be complete honest with y'all... I was NOT in the mood to be writing. If you follow my Twitter, you'll know that I've been quitting smoking! And believe me, when I first pulled the cards it was more than apparent I was not in the zone and they sure did "yell" at me! I'll most definitely be blogging about that soon when it comes to reading the cards! But "we" got things straight and I gotta say, the second run made a lot more sense!!

Anyways, hopefully you enjoyed this week's Tarotscopes! And if you'd like a reading, I can take a look at things more in depth! Feel free to send me a message at facebook or my email!


Many Blessings and have a great week everyone!

Sun Enters Aquarius

The Sun moves into Aquarius tomorrow and I'm going to try my best to refrain from singing that song.. even though it's playing in my head on repeat! I absolutely LOVE Aquarians! Maybe it's because it's my Moon sign or maybe just because I love their uniqueness and way of processing information!

Aquarians strive to be themselves and are fiercely independent, but are also very consciously aware of the compassion they have for humanity. While they generally will be very accepting of others ideals, they also can be exceptionally stubborn with their own. They can sometimes be considered standoffish when really they're just lost deep in thought! Intellectually they can be very gifted at working out complex situations; and may even have a touch of genius to them. Aquarius also rules technology so take some time with getting your social networking where you want it to be! Communication at times may be tough since it may seem more calculated than emotional, but there is a balance between their head and heart! However, you will be able to trust an Aquarius because they know the truth will set you free! Plus, they just don't want to be caught up in any drama!

So let's take a real quick look at how this Aquarian energy affects you for the next month!


Aries or Aries Ascendant- Now that the Sun in in your 11th house of community, you could be ready to take  things to another level with what you contribute in society. You're a born leader and can motivate others to take action, but be careful that you don't come across as tyrannical! Just make sure that you have the complete facts and that you don't do anything too reckless!

Taurus or Taurus Ascendant- Setting goals this next month will be of great importance as the Sun is in your 10th house of career. If you've been struggling to make a change in your job situation, or you're wanting to start fresh, now will be the time to figure out what it is that will get you moving in the right direction! You may just need to reach out to others to get some help!

Gemini or Gemini Ascendant- Your ruling planet Mercury enters Aquarius the same day as the Sun and gives a greater focus to your 9th house of higher learning. Take knowledge to another level, it will definitely give you an advantage at this time! Your ideas are racing a mile a minute, but if you can get them under control, you'll be able to grow and connect at a deeper level as you share these experiences with others.

Cancer or Cancer Ascendant- This is a time of acceptance as the Sun is in your 8th house of intimacy and sharing. It may not be easy to deal with emotionally, but it's important to take everyone's feelings into consideration. Just because you feel one way about something doesn't mean everyone else needs to feel the same. We all have our way of dealing with things.

Leo or Leo Ascendant- How you connect with others will be important as the Sun is in your 7th house of relationships. This won't be a time where it's all about you though! Now is a time for equality. Being able to give and take will show you the value others have for you and what they're able to bring to the table in return! Be grateful for your community "pride"!

Virgo or Virgo Ascendant- Getting things in order seems to always be your thing, but as the Aquarian Sun goes through your 6th house of routines, it'll be important to be flexible! Staying on schedule is one thing, but don't let it turn into something you're obsessing over! You usually don't have a problem with getting things accomplished, but sometimes you just need to learn a new way of dong things!

Libra or Libra Ascendant- Expect to be a little popular as the Sun goes through your 5th house of fun and creativity! Others will naturally be gravitating towards you and will enjoy your optimistic outlook. Coming together in collaboration proves beneficial. You'll even find excitement in things that are a little out of the ordinary if you allow yourself to try some new things!

Scorpio or Scorpio Ascendant- You'll be a little overly motivated to find yourself as the Sun makes its way through your 4th house of stability. Things may be a little untraditional, but "wherevever you go, there you are"! And if you feel stuck in your situations, find the beauty in the security that IS there. Things can be life altering every day depending on your viewpoint!

Sagittarius or Sagittarius Ascendant- This time of having the Sun and Mercury in your 3rd house of communication will shake things up! No one usually knows what to expect to come out of your mouth most days and this only greater amplifies things! You'll be reaching out with your connections and may even be surprised by who you come in contact with! Take the time to put your thoughts down on paper, you might just have the next best and coolest thing!

Capricorn or Capricorn Ascendant- Things may fluctuate at this time as the Sun is in your 2nd house of finances and self-worth. Sometimes you do need to spend money to make money, but make sure you're making sound investments in yourself! Usually you're rather responsible, but you might be feeling the need to get some instant gratification. Just make sure you can really afford it and not kicking yourself financially or emotionally later!

Aquarius or Aquarius Ascendant- It's your time to shine!!! Now that the Sun and Mercury are in your sign, you get the feeling things are clearing up and you have more focus. Mars has also been in your sign since December 25th which has you feeling that society is awakening to be more compassionate, though also more ready to take action for what they believe in. This gives you hope for the future! Allow yourself to share more of your ideals and take a more active approach and you'll see the changes you're able to inspire in others!

Pisces or Pisces Ascendant- You may be feeling a little reserved as the Sun and Mercury are in your 12th house of enlightenment. Your opinions will be clear and concise and others may be surprised by your thoughts. Looking inward at what you want to project outward will take some time to decide which approach is best. This is a time to be reflective and not reactive. Others decisions are their own. You only need to take responsibility for yourself.


If you'd like to take a deeper look at how this energy will be affecting you more, you can enter in your natal information at astro.com and see where Aquarius is prevalent in your chart. And as always you can contact me at facebook or email if you'd like me to take a look at your chart as well!

Have a fabulous day and Many Blessings!

January 14th - 20th Tarotscopes

"Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances." ~J. Donald Walters


So I was trying to figure out what to focus on with this coming week since I already had something else in plan for next week's! And then it hit me.. Ditch New Year's Resolution's Day is January 17th!! And then I checked the current transits and saw that Venus was squaring Uranus and it was just like... duuuh! Go with the flooooow!!

I'm sure some people have already hit that point of feeling like "oh screw those resolutions!!". But the important thing to remember is it's OK to not be gung ho on something if you're not completely ready for it. When it's the right time it'll come into routine when it should! It's one thing I really try to stress when doing readings that include time frames! Even though at the time of the reading it appears something could be happening, it doesn't mean it'll stick that way. Things can ALWAYS change! That's just how the Universe works. So.. for the 17th, give yourself a little break!! But don't let it get you too off track. Well, unless that's what you want! It's always about having a choice too!! And on that note.. let's go ahead and see what the week has in store!!

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)- You'll need to make sure you're not coming across as overly aggressive with things even if you're only trying to be motivating! You just don't seem like you're on the same page as others this week. This may be further frustrating to you if you feel like things are being delayed in your work or career. Even if you feel like you NEED to get things in order, take a step back, BREATHE, and let things work themselves out! Right now there isn't anything that you could do that would speed things up! If you force it you will be needing a "do over"!

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)- It's time for you to slow down and listen to your intuition! While you would like to move things forward, like a developing baby, things take time. Do what you can, when you can. There's a natural cycle to everything. And while your mind may be on overdrive and thinking "what's next?!", allow yourself to enjoy the present moment. You won't have this time back and things WILL be changing! Find satisfaction that comes from "creating" and embrace your sensuality! Share your deepest feelings even if you're unsure of the outcome and you'll see the love that is truly in your life!

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)- After things last week and then the energy of the New Moon; this week has you feeling absolutely blissful! This is truly a meeting of body, mind, and soul. The problems that have been around are clearing up and the transformations that are happening within yourself as well as around you have you seeing that the work you've put into things is starting to pay off! Financially any burdens you've been under will also be start to be resolved in a positive manner. And while you are really at a turning point, just remember to stay a little grounded with things so you can continue to move things forward!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)- Your anxiety may be a little through the roof this week! Don't even THINK about trying to cut corners to get ahead or you'll be even more aggravated at the outcome! Stick to what you've been doing with and the hard work WILL pay off. If you need to re-work your schedule to mix things up a little and shake off the boredom, that's one thing. But don't just throw it all in the trash and give up! Take some suggestions from someone you trust, or maybe just even a good chat to take your mind off things would be enough to re-energize you!

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)- Obstacles seem like they're getting the better of you! But you really could be blowing them a little out of proportion. An overly dramatic Leo? Never! You might be feeling like there's just never enough time to get everything done that you want to accomplish. Put your focus into ONE task and see where it takes you. One foot in front of the other! This week will be about finishing up the loose ends as the Sun shifts out of your 6th house of routines on Saturday. Get your pride in check and ask for some help if you need it! Your confidence can get you through anything!

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)- That change I've been telling you about.. ready or not, HERE IT IS! Don't fight it and just embrace it! You NEED it, and you probably already know it even if you're not entirely ready to admit it! It can be tough to accept change, especially when you'd rather just stay in your comfort zone. But is it really all that comfortable if you're having to compromise your happiness?! It's true that others around you will only be as happy as you are. You can only fake it for so long. Close the door on the past and walk into a new beginning. It's for the best!

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)- Ease up on the brakes!! Things were starting to take off! Sure you might be feeling like you're at the mercy of the unknown, but it's really not all that bad! Maybe it'll be easier once the Sun and Mercury move over to your 5th house of fun on Saturday. Just don't set things in reverse, unless you feel like having to start from scratch again! Even if you're feeling like things aren't quite where you want them to be, give it some time before you say it's a complete failure. Things might be a little unpredictable at this point, just go with the flow.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)- Things this week are coming full circle as the Sun and Mercury leave your 3rd house of thought and over into your 4th house of stability on Saturday. You KNOW where you stand with your beliefs and can trust that you're really making the right decisions for the good of all! The important thing will be to not accept all the blame in things or allow someone to undermine your value. At the same time, your decisions are going to cause you to "lose" in some way. But this will be a blessing in disguise and will bring about a better result than you were expecting!

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)- Well it looks like you're taking control of the situation this week! GO YOU! You're really going to come up with a great plan of action that'll see you through and any feelings of insecurity will be gone. You know your capabilities, it's time to dust things off and get back in the game! Even if things have been a little chaotic, you'll need to be a little patient to get the results. Don't get stuck in a woulda, coulda, shoulda, battle with yourself. Allow others to give you advice on your plan too, this doesn't have to be a solo effort!

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)- This week isn't going to be the easiest for you as the Sun and Mercury shift out of your sign and into Aquarius! The Hermit isn't bad by any means, but your soul searching could have you delving into some serious stuff that you might not be sure you're ready for! And maybe at the same time, you're just tired of the BS! Your birthday has come and gone and there went another year. It's really going to be about taking stock of where you've been and where you're going and what you're REALLY wanting for yourself. No wasting time on those who aren't putting in the effort. No excuses!

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)- And just as last week you were at the height of things; this week it seems things might take a turn to unexpectedly shake you to your core! Don't let things get you too worked up! There's highs and lows in life. You can't always be at the top and how long you stay at the bottom depends on the work you're willing to do. But as the Sun and Mercury moves into your sign on Saturday, you'll be more than ready to pick yourself back up and take things as they are and trust that things happen for a reason. The Sun will shine tomorrow.. and the day after that!

Pisces (Feb 19 - March 20)- You've been able to take things in a new direction, but that doesn't mean to completely celebrate yet! Ok, celebrate.. but you still need to make sure you keep yourself on track with things so you can KEEP celebrating! It takes a lot of small actions to create a big reaction. You can't just give up after the first victory. But as long as you're truly doing the best that you can, that's all that really matters if you're satisfied with the effort that you're making! Don't measure yourself against anyone's standards but your own! Just keep going with things and you'll realize your greatest dreams!











I hope you find some clarity in this week's Tarotscopes and if you'd like a reading, I can take a look at things more in depth! Feel free to send me a message at facebook or my email!

Many Blessings and have a great week everyone!

New Moon in Capricorn

Here we are blessed with MORE Capricorn energy!! Currently we have the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Pluto in Capricorn. And now with the New Moon of the New Year.. we can expect to have more accountability with the actions we take! The energy will be focus on the Capricorn/Cancer axis. Capricorn is the ruler of the 10th house and our career aspirations, social status, responsibility, and authority in our lives. Capricorn's ruling planet is Saturn, and Saturn reminds us to have patience and discipline with our determination!

The Moon's ruling sign is Cancer. Because Cancer is such an emotional sign, there can be a tendency to cling to the past, emotions may run deep as we try to figure out what will bring the depths of nurturing and security we're looking for. This New Moon with it's Capricorn/Cancer influence will help us take responsibility with our emotions and GET REAL with where we want our life's path to go! If you weren't able to make New Years Resolutions, this time would be PERFECT for bringing them to light!

Throughout the Moon's cycles, there is a death and rebirth happening. During the New Moon we let our instincts lead us. Being in Capricorn the focus will be on moving forward efficiently and letting go of emotions that are holding us back; reclaiming personal power and stepping into more leadership, and enjoying stable  friendships and relationships where everyone contributes equally. Those with a planet or angle at 22 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer, may feel the strength of the New Moon more directly. So let's take a look at how this might effect your sign!



Aries (March 21 - April 19)- This Moon activates your 10th House and you might feel a struggle to make yourself known or be concerned at how people view you. If you're looking for power, you need to realize it comes with responsibility! Don't feel as though you are entitled to authority. Finding a balance between your influence and why you seek it emotionally will be of importance. Be careful not to let it consume you thought! The ambition to succeed is there, be sure the reason you're working so hard is really what you want at the end result!

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)- This stabilizing Capricorn Moon finds itself in your 9th House of philosophy, personal freedom, and reaching out. This is not a time to be limiting of yourself or condescending, you'll need to keep an open mind. With Saturn in your 7th house of relationships, you could be ready to take things in a new direction. You would do best to trust your actions are done with the best intentions, even if others might not accept your decision. Your emotional fulfillment will be directly related to the changes you implement at this time.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)- As this Moon finds itself in your 8th House, your house of shared resources, and transformation; you may experience this energy in many ways over the next month! And with your ruling planet Mercury also being there; your thought process and connections with others may be reborn. You feel things are at a turning point and you're ready to start doing things that are necessary to set you straight! You are usually one that is honest and don't hold back what's on your mind. Stand true with what you feel and believe!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)- Relationships and career will be a MAJOR focus for you with the Moon in your 7th house of commitments and business partnerships. You could be looking at things in a new light, although maybe a little more realistically! Your emotional nature has you wanting to try things in a different way and taking more responsibility with what you're feeling and WHY you're feeling it. If work has been a struggle, try approaching it more creatively so that it feels more like an investment in yourself! Now is the time to bring about a consciously directed growth within yourself and with the work you put out in the world!

Leo (July 23 - August 22)- During this New Moon, it'll hit your 6th house of health and daily routines. If things have been in a slump, it's time to get yourself back on track! Maybe that workout has been put off or your resolution to give something up has been tough. Take this energy and put it to good use!! Try to find the focus you need as the Sun finishes out it's time in Capricorn as well. If you've had any health problems, now would be the time to address them. Establishing a routine for a healthy body and mind can be beneficial!

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)- This New Moon finds itself landing in your 5th House, house of creativity, children and hobbies. There may end up being an emotional "block" that comes about, but it's more about the lesson that there's a time for play and a time when work needs to be done! This may further be enhanced by your ruling planet Mercury being here as well. Try not to over think things too much. If you have children, take time to play games with them that you enjoyed.. or if your older, there's nothing wrong with a couple of beers for an adult game night either!

Libra (September 23 - October 22)- You can expect this New Moon in your 4th house to be bringing focus to your home and family. Events from the past may unexpectedly have you thinking of how it affects you in the present. If there has been strained relations within your family, now is the time to address them. Your appreciation for family is more easily shown. You might also find yourself wanting to tackle home projects that you've put off to make your home more how you've wanted it to be or if relocation has been on your mind, this may be the start of that action!

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)- You may feel a strong drive to achieve what you've been looking for through intellect as the Moon moves through your 3rd House of communication and thought. This will be a time to expand your ideas! Important conversations will allow you to take responsibility for your choices in the future, just make sure to take others opinions into consideration. If you have a special talent, you might find satisfaction in teaching others your skill. Since this is also a time of finding stability, establishing or re-establishing a meditation routine may prove beneficial!

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)- Finances will focus in heavily with the New Moon in your 2nd House of income and self-worth. It might be tough to realize what's serving it's purpose for you and what's expendable! You may be living beyond your means or you could start to question your understanding of security. Especially as your ruling planet Jupiter is in your 7th house of business associates! A change may be necessary, but taking the leap of faith might just be what it takes to have you see what you're really living for! If you need to work on yourself, now is the time to do it!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)- This is YOUR New Moon! If you've held yourself back due to fear of not succeeding, it's time to let go of that fear! Being in your 1st House of your personality and approach, you will decide your capabilities. Don't get in your own way! You have strong recuperative abilities that let you bounce back from any struggle that's been happening. Just be careful of impatience and compulsiveness. Your ruling planet Saturn is in your 11th house of hopes and dreams and you'll be able to take this time to really get things in order to bring about the change you've been wanting to achieve!

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)- With the Moon in your 12th House of enlightenment you may need to look inward. Don't lose faith in your goals, but you might be surprised if you shift your focus from recognition for your actions to feeling fulfilled by the service you're providing. With your modern ruling planet Uranus in your 3rd house of thought it's time to listen to your inner voice, rely on your intuition and take time for some self contemplation. Your traditional ruler of Saturn is in your 10th house so you will be able to evaluate things honestly and acknowledge your faults AND your virtues!

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)- This Capricorn Moon finds itself in your 11th House, the house of groups and friendships. You may find this energy as being restricted or be faced with pressure from others. It could be the time to step outside of yourself or your comfort zone for a change. You may be the one that needs to take the lead in organizing a group experience if you want to spread your humanitarianism. The 11th house is also one of hopes and dreams. Use this time to find your inspiration and harness the energy to realize your deepest passions!


Usually when I do my Full Moon posts I include a spell, but while I was on facebook earlier today I noticed that Llewellyn Worldwide had posted a great spell for today!! So I'd definitely like to share that here, Spell For Beginning a Project!

I hope the New Moon treats you well and helps open up experiences that will help us all along with more stability on our path this next month! If you have any questions regarding how the planets are affecting you personally, you can reach me at facebook or email!

Many Blessings!!

Venus enters Capricorn

Happy Birthday Elvis!!! So today is Elvis' birthday, Venus enters Capricorn, AND Elvis's Venus was in Capricorn! Who better to put a picture up of??! Definitely more appealing than just a pic of Venus! LOL!

Venus in your chart not only represents love, but also money and creativity. As Venus had been travelling through Sagittarius the last few weeks, things may have been a little exaggerated and free-spirited. But now that Venus has made her way into Capricorn, you can expect things to be a little more focused and committed. Venus can be fickle! Like a woman, treat her well and she'll give you the world; but cross her and you know you'll be in for it!

In terms of love, we may need to make sure we don't close ourselves off from being able to express our wants and needs.  Just like Elvis could shake his hips, we'll need to loosen up when it's needed! But if there's work to be done in a relationship, now's the time to lay it all out there. Appreciation for ourselves is realized through the dependability and respect we give to others.

Since Venus also rules our money and finances, tightening the reins on our budget at this time also proves beneficial! We all enjoy splurging, especially during the holidays, but we also hate when the bills start coming in from it! This can be a time that we realize how we treat our finances is also tied in with how we value our own self-worth.

Venus likes things to be easy going for the most part and with being in Capricorn you'll find stability is a little more easily had. Capricorn is practical and persistent. Now of course, we don't all have the same chart.. so Venus is going to affect us differently! I personally, have had a rather busy, but fun month! And in keeping with my organizational theme, Venus will now be transiting through my 6th house of work and routines. So I'm definitely going to make sure that I put this energy to good use and will be putting a little more passion and creativity into things!

So while Venus makes her way through Capricorn until February 1st, let's clean the slate of things that are no longer allowing us to be appreciative and dig into the work that needs done to get us to live our lives more productively!


If you're wondering how Venus will be affecting you, you can enter in your natal information at astro.com and see where Venus is in your chart. Then you will look to see which house occupies the sign of Capricorn! You can also adjust the chart settings to show your transits to see exactly where Venus is transiting through your chart! A simple google search of "venus capricorn transit + your house #" will start you off on getting some good information. Cafe Astrology is a great source! Of course, you can always contact me at facebook or email if you'd like me to take a look at your chart as well!

Have a fabulous day and Many Blessings!

January 7th - 13th Tarotscopes

"Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up." ~A. A. Milne

In keeping with my quest for organization.. I thought I would add this great pin that I found on Pinterest. I have been trying to get things a little more organized so that I can more effectively manage my time! Things the last few years have been a little less than organized and I've definitely seen my productivity slip! But I know that in being organized, things just come about soooo much easier! So I wanted to share that for anyone else that might have organization on their New Years resolutions!

There's actually quite a lot that I'm organizing.. some things will definitely be more apparent on the blog in the next coming weeks as a clean up things that are no longer serving their purpose and I'm going to be sharing some other newer charity works that I find important too! There's actually a blog post I'm editing that will be up shortly, so keep an eye out!

You'll notice I've switched up the cards I'm using too! I went with the somewhat traditional Rider Waite.. these are actually the Radiant Rider Waite, so they're a little more colorful than the standard And now before I end up rambling on anymore, here's this coming weeks Tarotscopes!!



Aries (Mar 21 - April 19)- You sure can't seem to catch a break, can you?! Last week you had the Devil reversed! But at the same time, maybe your focus is a little off balance! As much as you would like, this isn't the time to try and force things. Even if it seems like things aren't going right, something is trying to alert you to the bigger picture at hand. Take a step back and adjust your attitude. Focus on being grateful for what you have and not what you're trying to achieve. When you're able to realize that everything happens for a reason and allow yourself to go with the flow, you'll see that things really weren't all that bad in the first place!

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)- Your ruling planet Venus moves into Capricorn and your 9th house of philosophy on Tuesday. This week might have you feeling like you need to "hurry up and wait"! Finding harmony between emotions and actions might be tough if you're expecting someone else to have the answers for you or you're not allowing for the unexpected to happen. Conflict may be hard to avoid at this point. Take responsibility and realize that the decisions you make have a lasting effect even if they bring about an immediate result. You WILL be successful, but it still requires work. DON'T allow yourself to settle for second best!

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)- With your ruling planet Mercury in your 8th house of sharing, with this card you could be feeling a little bit at a loss. Don't be left feeling like you're beating a dead horse! It's obviously time to let things go if you really want to move forward. Power struggles may be tough and if you've put your faith in someone else, you may see it's better to rely on your own abilities. This could make things even tougher if you feel like you have to start from scratch! And while you would like a break, just remember you're only given what you can handle. Life carries on!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)- While things last week were starting to feel like they were falling into place, this week you'll be feeling you're juggling more than you can handle. Give yourself a break. And with Venus shifting over into your 7th house on Tuesday, relationships could bring about even more uncertainty and demands. Try not to be manipulative to get what you want. Even though you would like to achieve your ideal of "perfection", you might need to reel things in a little to maintain some sense of balance! Being able to compromise with things will end up saving you more aggravation in the long run!

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)- The Sun is finishing out it's time in your 6th house before it moves into Aquarius on the 19th and routines are being re-established. After last week's shakedown, you know your worth and what you can accomplish! At least try and finish up any old projects to get them out of the way before you take on more. Just be careful you don't get too caught up in progress that you let everything else pass you by! Stay practical with things and don't be too motivated by greed or materialistic things. Money can't buy you love and that will become more apparent in the next couple weeks.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)- You can't just wish things to be different or keep pushing them under the rug! Throwing your hands up in the air and declaring you're DONE, isn't going to make all that much of a difference either. And you most certainly need to accept your responsibility in the situation you've created as well. You're definitely in an emotionally rough patch. If you need to reach out to someone that will really understand you, even if it's been a while since you last talked, DO IT! Even if you're worried about facing their judgement, you'll be pleasantly surprised that it won't happen. Besides, you're judging yourself more than enough right now.

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)- Finally things are starting to feel like they're on the right path! And when your ruling planet Venus moves into your 4th house of stability on Tuesday, your passion will be renewed though you'll feel as though you have a more realistic outlook in what you can achieve! You know this is the time to take action if you're expecting things to change for the better. Don't hesitate or question how things are going to come about, as long as you make a movement, you won't be able to slow it down! Stay positive and trust your instincts and you'll be surprised at what happens!

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)- This week will definitely try your patience! You've done what's needed to start things fresh, now you just have to wait for things to be finalized. It's ok if you're scared or anxious of the changes that are coming. If you're worried about whether you've made the right decision, put your focus into something else for a bit! When it's time, you'll be able to see that either way, you did what you felt was right! Try not to stress yourself out too much as you're bringing together your wants and your needs! You'll be much happier when your choices start bringing results!

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)- Are you feeling a little stuck in a rut? No one can change that but you. Though you may need to ask yourself if you're being a little critical. You may have felt a little downtrodden since October as your ruling planet Jupiter in your 7th house of balance has been in retrograde. But it's time to remember what you're capable of because when it resumes direct motion on the 30th, you'll be able to take things a new direction! Just remember that with any new endeavor that there's a learning curve and just because it doesn't seem like things might not be going right it doesn't mean you need to give up!

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)- Capricorn's Solar Returns are still coming about (HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y'ALL!) and as you embark on a new year for yourself, you'll be reflecting on what has happened the past year and what you're wanting to work on this coming year. Your ruling planet Saturn is in your 11th house of hopes and dreams and you're realizing that some things are no longer serving their purpose while other things need to be made peace with. If friendships have been strained, extend the olive branch. You may just be surprised at how things can easily get back on track. Give yourself some time before you go at things full force. You don't need to come across as needy.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)- What a great card to get! Currently the Sun is in your 12th house of endings. And the World is the last card of the major arcana! In fact Aquarius is symbolized on the card with the other fixed signs. You definitely will be moving in a new direction with things, but while this new beginning comes about, it is directly related to the work you've been doing. Take it like a "promotion" of sorts! You're confident that you're exactly where you need to be! And you're appreciative of those that are on the path with you. Like the great circle of life, you're grateful for the highs and lows.. though this week you'll be on a total high!

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)-  You could end up with a couple eye rolls this week if you make things all about yourself! Pisces can be very dualistic in nature. One moment you might feel optimistic and the next you're ready to bawl or maybe even brawl! Usually you're very compassionate with others, but you might need to step back a little before you come across as impatient, even if you have the best intentions at heart. But don't take a step back too far that you seem to withdraw yourself from life. Even if things are running a little hot and cold, you'll need to find some balance between give and take!

I hope you enjoyed this week's Tarotscopes and if you'd like a reading, I can take a look at things more in depth! Feel free to send me a message at facebook or my email!

Many Blessings and have a great week everyone!
