Today’s Tarot Card for Aug. 21 is The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man

This Tarot Deck: Lord of the Rings

General Meaning: Traditionally, the card known as the Hanged Man usually indicates a lack of ability to help oneself through independent action. This energy is arrested and awaiting judgment. With this card, there is no avenue for the will to regain control until the situation has passed.

This represents a good time to be philosophical, to study and meditate upon the position you find yourself in, and form resolutions for the moment you become free again. Only those who possess wisdom, patience and optimism will be able to see through limitations, including possible humiliation, to grasp the inspiring lesson one can gain from such an experience.

Your Horoscopes for Sunday, August 21

A fanciful Venus-Neptune opposition enables us to fall in love with beauty, ignoring the practical details. Although this tug-of-war between artsy Venus and foggy Neptune enables us to tap into our creativity, we may be challenged to discern the truth as we’re easily confused by our imaginations. Venus’ shift into orderly Virgo helps to clarify our desires while the Moon’s move into clever Gemini at 8:52 pm EDT increases our mental agility.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The closer you get to the facts today, the more you realize that you don’t really know what’s happening. Although you may be inclined to jump to premature conclusions now, the longer you can sit with your uncertainty, the better your chance for success. Instead of pushing for resolution on a relationship issue, allow yourself to let go of your need for control and be enchanted by the mysteries of love.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your key planet Venus opposes imaginative Neptune today, tempting you to confuse reality with your dreams. However, you probably won’t float off into the clouds with the Moon in your pragmatic sign for most of the day. Pay attention to your heart’s desires now, because you could turn a daydream into something real. Be willing to take a risk and let go of what you assume to be true.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You have a great idea about what you want to do today, but your preferences are limited by practical considerations that prevent you from getting exactly what you want. Instead of feeling disappointed if reality falls short of your expectations, look for the undiscovered opportunities that come along with the unexpected changes. There are more options than you can imagine if you only remain open to them.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You could easily miss some important details today because your daydreams are so distracting. One strategy includes asking lots of questions and remembering to read every word before signing anything. Mercury’s current retrograde requires you to reconsider your financial options, but your mind is operating with fuzzy logic now. Don’t assume that everything will just work out for the best. You may be sorely disappointed if you do.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Relationships can present a real dilemma today because sweet Venus in your sign adds to your charm while nebulous Neptune clouds your judgment. Someone may enchant you now as your imagination turns a frog into a prince (or princess) in your mind. Everything looks good until you wake up and have to deal with things the way they are in reality rather than how they are in your fantasies.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be in for a frustrating day if you think that you need to maintain control in a relationship. But your illusions will likely dissipate quickly, like clouds after a storm, once you have your first confrontation with a friend or partner who doesn’t buy into your way of seeing things. Letting someone else lead for a while lessens the pressure and allows you to enjoy yourself without having to know every detail.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus brings you a beautiful image today, but it’s slightly out of focus as she engages in a tug-of-war with mystical Neptune. It may be difficult to meet your responsibilities now because you prefer seeking the elusive perfection of beauty than dealing with mundane reality. But don’t leave your chores undone; once your work is finished you can drift off into dreamland without any interruptions.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A solution to a dilemma may not be forthcoming today, but part of the problem is that you won’t receive useful answers until you can formulate clear questions. Take some quiet time away from your current responsibilities to untangle your thoughts. Once you’ve established a logical starting point, the rest of the process will be much easier. Nevertheless, be patient; it may take a few days to obtain the clarity you need.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Even if you’re dealing with the same issues as yesterday, they might not appear to bother you as much today. However, just beneath your life-is-beautiful veneer, stresses are still at work. Don’t waste energy trying to make your life look better than it actually is. Once others see that you have problems like everyone else, they’ll be more inclined to interact with you personally. Expressing the truth reveals your vulnerability and opens a door for a truly honest relationship.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not know what to think today as your core beliefs are brought into question. Thankfully, you no longer have to pretend that you have all the answers. Once you’re free from being in charge, you’ll have more time to delve into your own subconscious to discover where things may have gone awry. Practice being more flexible; if you are too rigid in your thinking now, something may have to give and it won’t likely be very pleasant.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be having a problem within an intimate or family relationship today, yet you cannot see things as they truly are. Your imagination has overtaken reality and you aren’t able to get to the bottom of an issue because your judgment isn’t as sharp as usual. Don’t push too hard for any sort of change now; just let the process happen at its own rate.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s not easy for you to keep your impulses in check today, especially if someone is tempting you to go out on a limb and express your feelings. But your partner or a friend could lay down some rules now that won’t let you off the hook so easily. Instead of striking out because you’re afraid of being vulnerable, integrate your fears into your life and face them before you experience a relationship crisis.

New Moon Report for Aug. 21 – Venus in Virgo

 

Venus in Virgo

Sunday, August 21, 3:11 pm PDT, 6:11 pm EDT

The love planet’s entry into earthy Virgo permits us to view relationships in a more practical manner. Emotions are tempered by operational considerations that can take the steam out of unrealistic romance, but increase the efficiency of partnerships. The discerning eye of this sign may focus on flaws, yet its value comes from constructive criticism that helps to solve problems instead of presenting them as failures. A more refined sense of taste allows us to appreciate life’s pleasures without overindulging ourselves.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your butler will return to work today, and pretend as if nothing had happened. It’s time for you to compromise, and give up those new argyles. It’s for the best, in the long run.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
I see you making a special trip to the store today, to get something. It’s in a sort of yellow-ish little box, about the size of a toothpaste box, I think. It’s “prep-something”? Ah! “Preparation”-something, I think. Oh. Ahem. Anyway, if it’s any consolation, I hear that Jet Fighter pilots have that problem much worse than most people. All that acceleration, you know. Don’t worry — your secret is safe with me!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Today you will realize that it seems quite impossible to make any sense out of life, especially when you consider what life must be like in Nebraska.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You have exactly as much chance of having a decent day as you have of developing amazing telekinetic abilities that let you secretly give innocent passers-by a wedgie. Stay home. Breathe normally.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You will make people squirm, today. Surprisingly, some of them will show remarkable talent at squirming.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Excellent day to fidget.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Today you will begin to have nagging doubts about your feet.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Try to avoid things that are squooshy today. Especially giant green squooshy things that probably came from outer space. (Hint: most giant green squooshy things are, in fact, from outer space.)
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Hide.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Good time to be logical and willing to admit error. This will amaze and confuse everyone, and some of them will be so flustered that they’ll try it themselves. Just don’t keep it up for too long – you might get “stuck” like that, and go through the rest of your life like some kind of freak!
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Bad news: people think you’re becoming paranoid. Isn’t that just typical, though? I mean, they don’t even HAVE invisible malevolent air-squids spying on THEM, do they?
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You will write some office email soon that positively sparkles with comic irony. You’ll be asked to knock it off.

Hello World! It’s Sunday, You Know What That Means….

…..it means enjoy the day to the fullest because tomorrow you go back to work. Sorry to remind you of that. But I hope you are having a fantastic weekend. I don’t believe I have done a think this weekend. I have a mile long list of things to do but I can’t get nothing done anymore. You might think this has nothing to do with what I was just talking about, but bear with me. I was watching a morning talk show and the topic was about getting older. How people suddenly realize they are just fine the way they are. They settle into theirselves and become comfort just being who they are. I got to thinking that is so true. When I was younger, I would put on the make-up, do the hair for about an hour, pick out the perfect outfit and then be ready to go. Sometimes I even did this just to stay at home. Now I don’t put on any make-up at all. I decided that was a waste of time. When I put on make-up, I thought it transformed me into a beautiful, ravishing creature. And I looked totally different. Yeah right! Well I found out when I quit wearing it, people still recognized me, they knew right off the bat who I was. Then it hit me, all the time I had wasted putting on make-up to be someone else. Why? I still fix my hair for about 15 minutes. I have let it do what it always wanted to do, curl. So I fluff some curls, grab a pair of short and a shirt to match and I off.  I realized that the talk show was right, when you reach a certain age you do become comfortable in your own skin. You finally realize that you are alright just the way the Goddess made you. I have found the inner me and finally made peace with her. Come to find out she a pretty good old gal. She is very comfortable with herself. She takes care of things that need to be done but she doesn’t rush  around anyway. She takes her time. She don’t get mad and upset. She is very laid back and she just loves to enjoy life. With this new me I have found, I could kick my own ass. She was there the whole time, why did I have to wait to now to find her? I know in my younger years, she would have made my left a heck of a lot easier. Then I got to thinking was she there then? Perhaps the me that I am comfortable with is a by-product of myself.  Wonder what I mean by that? Me, too! Seriously, I believe the comfortable me is a product of my environment and my actions.  But I believe she got rid of all the bad part os me, well not so nice parts anyway and left the good. She also has shown me what is important in life. I found out I had my priorities all screwed up. I have them straight now and I have fell back in love with my husband. I have put things into perspective. I know what is more important now. Like I mentioned earlier, I never seem to get things done. I get them done eventually but in the order of importance. You know if I have a comfortable me inside of me, I would bet you do too. Look inside yourself and accept yourself for who you are. The make-up, the clothes, the hair doesn’t make the person. It is the comfortable you that does. Don’t do like I did and wait too long to find her. Find her now and I guarantee you, you will enjoy life more than ever.

Guys, it just dawned on me, I have been a bad witch. I am so sorry that I didn’t use he/she in my writing, please forgive me. Truthfully I didn’t know where my writing was going. It was just rambling through my brain. So please forgive me and I will do better next time I promise.

Love to all,

Lady A
