Past Influence whose impact on your life is waning.
The Protector
The Protector represents the presence of a strong ally ready to assist you when your path is full of difficult challenges. The Protector is represented by the Archangel Michael: God’s warrior angel. Archangel Michael is in the writings of many religions including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. While Michael is male, in the context of this Oracle, The Protector is not gender specific. Regardless of whether Your Protector is male or female they can have a powerful positive influence when you find yourself facing trying times.
Present Influence whose impact on your life is very strong.
The Medicine Bowl
The Medicine Bowl is an essential shaman’s vessel for preparing and dispensing sacred blends of herbs and other items used to keep both clan and individuals physically and spiritually healthy. Often The Medicine Bowl and the hallowed potions made with it are cornerstones to tribal ceremonies and member’s rites of passage. The Medicine Bowl represents both the practical and spiritual aspects of healing the body and cleansing the soul through the use of natural remedies and the affirmation of your spiritual self. In a broader sense, The Medicine Bowl symbolizes the health of a clan and strengthening of ties within the clan.
Future influence whose impact on your life is growing and will be very strong in the future.
The Rose
The White Rose indicates the need for or the presence of purity of intention. The question to ponder is, “Am I/he/she being self-serving, or other-directed?” The caution is that even if we are reasonably certain our motives are generous, if we are yet attempting to impose our idea of what should be, we are not acting at the level of the White Rose. When the White Rose appears, examine your own and others’ motives, and then trust the answer that brings you true peace of mind.
Throughout history the Dove has symbolized peace and innocence in nearly all cultures. Dove’s soft cooing and gentle nature bring a calmness to any situation. The Dove appears where peace has been attained or there is a need to bring events to a peaceful ending. It denotes a time to let lose of grievances and settle conflicts in a way that benefits all parties equally.
As a daily card, Dove suggests the need to put an end to conflict in your present life. The conflict may be yours or may be that of people close to you. Regardless of the parties involved, you have been called upon to bring the discord to an impartial end.
Meaning: The Man rune demands action. It’s not longer time to quietly sit and think, or to hide yourself and heal. No, it’s time to get up and fight for what you want. If things are slow or stagnated, change them. Begin something new. It’s not a moment to let things flow as they will, but to grab the reigns and gain control over the situation. Be the leader and defend your stand.
While the Woman rune is about healing, this one can be about defending yourself, and, sometimes, hurting or getting hurt in the process. You may have to defend your opinions, your actions or choices against some aggressive people. This rune offers you a challenge, but is also shows that you have the resources needed to face it. Naturally, this rune has very aggressive potentials in it, and they need a good deal of discipline in order to not become sorely destructive.
The Man rune also accelerates everything… nothing stays still when its around. The outcome of your question may happen sooner than you expected, but the result will probably be unexpected. It does not mean that all will go wrong, no – things will simply develop in unseen ways.
In relationship readings, the Man rune promises a period of instability, so it’s important to not have high expectations. Under the influence of this rune, the relationship can be a stairway to Heaven or a ticket to Hell… and sometimes both, in a short period of time. It promises a bumpy journey for the heart, but with a great level of intensity. The Man rune can stand for love/hate relationship, cat and rat games and obsessions… the kind of things that turns one nuts (for good and for bad). This rune is good in questions concerning sexuality.
While similar to classic Tarot’s Strength card, Lust goes a step further by suggesting we should enjoy the pleasures of exercising our strengths, sating our passions, and embracing that which allows one to express the majesty of their unique self. The lust this card indicates is not purely sexual, but at its most basic this lust is a primal desire to experience life to the fullest degree possible while taming our more beastly side. Lust implies that we not fight with our base instincts, but rather that we accept and manage and nourish them as an essential aspect of maintaining a balanced, complete self.
This reading represents the strengths you were born with.
The Devil
The Devil is perhaps the most perplexing card one can have in their set of personal cards. He represents all that most find undesirable, distasteful. He embodies the seven deadly sins (Lust, Gluttony, Avarice, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride). The Devil is evil personified. However, it is unlikely his presence in your cards means you are most suited to be a child of Satan. Think of the saying “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” The more plausible explanation is that you are actually quite moral, and feel a deep duty to oppose the dark forces The Devil embodies. This in no way implies you should establish your own inquisition, but simply that you are acutely aware of the destructive influences in our world and have the strength to resist them.
All other cards of the Major Arcana diminish the influence of The Devil.
The Lovers
The Lovers indicates both the most powerful of unions and the most of challenging conflicts humans must face. On one side The Lover’s embodies love and union on a cosmic scale—a love so strong, so inherently good that it actually makes the lovers better, more than they really are. All of the elements are there for the perfect union. The Lovers represent all powerful unions in general, and the elements that create/sustain them. The problem The Lovers face is temptation and the decision to act morally or abandon their ethics to take advantage of other opportunities that would be defined as transgressions.
The Lovers’ influence is increased when The Empress is among your personal cards. Having The Hierophant or The Hermit in your personal cards may diminish the influence of the Lovers.
The Star represents a strong connection to the Cosmos, an open gateway to understanding “the big picture.” It is an optimistic card that promises peace, harmony, and hope realized. For the full power of the forces behind The Star to be realized one must have faith and accept that in cosmic terms all things balance out; that disturbances are sometimes necessary to ensure overall harmony. The reward for such faith is vision on a Cosmic scale, and sense of well-being that may well radiate to those around you through your warm, untroubled heart.
While the Moon is stimulating you to enjoy yourself and seek out excitement, dear Aries, there are a couple of minor challenging aspects that can play with your head a little if you let them. In fact, the ambiguity that comes with them can serve good purpose – slowing down now can turn your attention to things you may have overlooked. You may temporarily tune into the past now. If you swing from idealizing or romanticizing a situation, to worrying about the worst, remind yourself that the truth lies somewhere between these two poles. It may be a bit of a challenge getting your message across at the moment, but you may very well decide that it was better left unsaid, so aim to reconsider or wait and see.
Taurus
Taurus
The day favors quiet activities, dear Taurus, as rushing today can be a lesson in frustration. There is a tendency to want to cocoon yourself with the Moon in your home and family sector all day. This isn’t a new feeling for you – a lot has been going on behind the scenes and in your inner world, and this will continue a while longer. At the moment, there can be some ambiguous energy surrounding a friendship or group connection. It can be difficult to know what to believe, and your thoughts can swing from optimistic to disappointed in a moment’s notice if you look too hard for definite answers. Do your best to observe rather than jump into new endeavors and important conversations. Little apparent setbacks are actually blessings in disguise. Even though they may seem to take you further from your goals, they in fact bring you closer as you make needed changes and edits.
Gemini
Gemini
Energy is variable today, dear Gemini. There can be minor doubts or vague concerns that keep you from charging ahead, but this can be a good thing, as you may very well need a little more time to get things right. Somebody could be giving you the cold shoulder about recent choices you’ve made, or you could be feeling some pressure to tie up a problem or relationship matter when it may be better to take a deep breath and wait it out. There can also be some ambiguous feelings surrounding work or a reputation matter. Be as clear as you can in any formal communications. Otherwise, try not to push forward too fast or too hard. Take things a step at a time.
Cancer
Cancer
Communications can be unclear today, dear Cancer, as we may be reading too much or too little into them. It’s better to slow down and think before speaking, as mistakes can be made and something you say could rub someone the wrong way. Of course, you can simply be yourself and deal with problems only if they arise, trusting that the people who matter most will give you benefit of the doubt. For more formal situations, though, it’s best to dot your i’s and cross your t’s. People around you, especially co-workers, can be oversensitive right now. There can be vague concerns or situations experienced that leave you with question marks, but you’ll be much better off if you let go of the need for definite or predictable answers for the time being. This is not a good day for major purchases, and even minor ones may be regrettable to some degree.
Leo
Leo
People can misunderstand you a little too easily today, dear Leo. You may be keeping quiet about something when you should speak up, withholding information, or speaking vaguely or prematurely. However, you can’t expect to control what others interpret, and true friends and supporters will give you the benefit of the doubt. If possible, take a break or slow yourself down to get your bearings. Pushing forward right now may lead to a series of minor frustrations. The balance between what’s idealistic and what’s realistic is not likely to be found today. You may need to do some mental swinging before getting to the middle ground. While the day is complicated and timing can be off, the Moon’s presence in your sign can help bring more clarity to your emotions.
Virgo
Virgo
The day favors some level of withdrawal from the hustle and bustle of life, dear Virgo. Not only is the Moon in the sign just behind yours, a monthly transit that signals the need for some extra rest or alone time, there are also minor but nagging influences that seem to challenge our perceptions. There may be some tensions revolving around opinions and ideas, or transportation delays. Try to look beyond words chosen to the intentions behind the communication. You don’t appreciate ambiguity when it comes to your relationships, as you prefer to know where you stand, but you may have to accept that you can’t always be in the know. Get your mind off people problems by focusing on something more manageable and predictable.
Libra
Libra
Today favors slowing down and reflecting, dear Libra, but do avoid over-thinking, as you are unlikely to see the full story or big picture just for now. There can be some awkwardness with others, and you would be wise to pace yourself. Adjustments need to be made before pushing forward. You can be more sensitive to criticism, to subtle imbalances in your environment, and to fluctuations in others’ moods today. Keep in mind that others can be touchy as well, although in different ways. One-one-one interactions can be confusing, and it’s better not to try to define them or label anyone just now. Chasing answers will have you running in circles. Don’t read too much into today’s apparent slowdowns. Temporary blocks are usually chances to catch your breath.
Scorpio
Scorpio
Today’s energies favor imaginative activities, dear Scorpio, but the line between fact and fiction can become quite blurred at times right now. Avoid jumping into a decision about money or a relationship just because you are anxious to put something behind you – chances are that more thought is necessary and that information in front of you is misleading or incomplete just for now. Work and chores can seem overwhelming if your mind is fixated on pleasures or social problems. Energy is variable. This likely reflects some lack of confidence in what you’re doing or where you’re headed. Allow yourself to steer a little off course today so that you can get your bearings. If possible, schedule tasks that require serious concentration for another day.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
While the Moon is stimulating your love for adventure today, dear Sagittarius, it’s better not to rush things through. Routines may be suffering due to indecision and worry, or a bit of off-timing. You could be feeling under the weather, likely due to emotions and nervous tension. Take a break from over-thinking things. The path to your goals today is unlikely to be a straight line right now. Instead of allowing frustration to set in, enjoy the detours that life is offering today and chalk it up to experience. Activities that engage your imagination tend to suit you best now, as energy levels run a little low.
Capricorn
Capricorn
It can be difficult to see things for what they are today, dear Capricorn, as we may be see-sawing between wishful and negative thinking. This simply means it’s better to take your time with important decision making. Escapist tendencies can be stimulated now making it difficult to find definitive answers to problems. Make adjustments and refinements instead of sweeping changes. Confidence is likely to return once you meet your obligations, and there can be some trial and error until then. This is, in fact, a good thing, as it allows you to see more possibilities before getting to the point.
Aquarius
Aquarius
You are relationship-oriented today, dear Aquarius – inclined to want company for almost all activities. There is much to discover through your interactions with others. Today is better for imaginative activities than for precise thinking and communicating, however. Watch for some tension in the family circle or with friends, who can misunderstand your words. Someone close to you can be difficult to please. Some people can be quite elusive or ambiguous at the moment, largely because they’re undecided, and it’s better not to choose today to make an important move or presentation. There can also be some lack of clarity in business and especially financial affairs right now, as important details can be overlooked. Try to pace yourself and stay flexible for best results today.
Pisces
Pisces
It may be wise today to watch how we express ourselves, dear Pisces, as people can be sensitive to what’s said, and perhaps also what’s not said. There may be misunderstandings of intentions – there is a tendency to want to see the best, but then also to entertain the possibility of the worst, but rarely seeing reality. Some fogginess or confusion is possible, particularly surrounding money and ownership matters. Today’s energies are complicated for practical affairs, including money and work. It’s not a day for new beginnings, but rather one for making adjustments and important edits. Decision making can certainly suffer, but it’s largely because you’re not ready to form a bottom line, and this means waiting things out is not a bad idea at all. The Moon in your solar sixth house all day points to a need to reorder, organize, and set straight your personal environment.
You are spunky and vivacious, with a personal presence that is powerful indeed. Although you are assertive, you are also very gracious and poised. There is a restlessness to your nature that keeps you on the move. There is also a distinct spiritual side. Your love nature is playful, and you are capable of making big sacrifices for those you love.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:
Your birthday occurs around a First Quarter Moon this year, and you are reaching an important turning point in terms of personal growth. You may be more emotional this year, and should watch for unnecessary conflicts and making hasty decisions as a result. Otherwise, this is a year of great energy, motivation, and growth. You are more ambitious and desirous of action in the year ahead. This should be a busy, dynamic period in your life.
You have a special way with people this year, and your personal magnetism is strong. Making connections with others comes more easily, particularly on romantic and creative levels.
Your ability to express yourself and to solve problems is enhanced this year. You may have opportunities to travel, and matters related to publishing, teaching, and writing should go especially well. You could also have big ideas and plans, as your mind is filled with ideas. The desire to expand your mind is strong, and this is a good year to take up studies or to further your education. It’s also excellent for teaching and speaking. With greater receptivity to new ideas and perspectives, you are more likely to attract positive energies into your life. You are likely to be popular with others when it comes to your ideas and communications, especially as you are communicating with optimism and cheerfulness, and this can bring rewarding experiences and opportunities into your life.
This is a good year, generally speaking, for motivation levels regarding work or projects and personal interests. There can be opportunities to pursue absorbing topics and projects of interest. More joy and meaning can be found in your work or obligations.
You are more sensitive artistically, your imagination is stirred, and you have an increased appreciation for subtleties. You are inspired and could even inspire others with your words. Some of your hunches could be prophetic. You are thinking more creatively, and express yourself with more sensitivity, compassion, and warmth.
However, you need to be aware of a tendency to be attracted to impractical ventures at times this year. As well, your energy can vary greatly from one period to the next, so take advantage of the “high” periods in order to offset the possible loss in productivity during the low-energy stages.
Relationships can be motivating this year, as a partner or good friend may inspire you to pursue your dreams and goals. You are playfully competitive and might win a major competition, if applicable. This is a good period for creative projects and joining with others in pursuing a common goal.
Transiting Saturn harmonizes with your Sun from February forward, and this can be a steadying, helpful influence. You are practical in your choices (for the most part), keeping your feet on the ground and paying attention to, and honoring, tradition as well as tried-and-true methods. You have the power of practicality, realism, and caution on your side in the year ahead. Work you have done in the past begins to pay off this year–not necessarily in dramatic ways, but in small, measurable ways. You may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts you put forth. Because you project a more responsible and credible “you”, people in authority are more inclined to appreciate you and recognize your work.
This is a potentially excellent year for communications, learning, and connecting. It’s also a strong year for personal appeal and relationship excitement. Positive plans and lifestyle changes can be made at this time in your life. Personal magnetism runs high. The second half of the year is particularly good for getting your life on track through improved work, attention to practical details, and increased self-discipline overall, although there will be times when you battle with varying energy levels.
2016 is a Number Nine year for you. Ruled by Mars. This is a year of completion and transition. It is a time when we need to let go of things that no longer serve their purpose, and hold on to things that have a future. It is a time of cleaning out dead wood, not necessarily for new beginnings. It can be a time when a burden has been taken off your shoulders, and it can be a year of giving of yourself. Advice – let go of things that are holding you back, give of yourself and express your sympathetic, compassionate side.
2017 will be a Number One year for you. Ruled by the Sun. This is a year of action. The seeds you plant now, you will reap later. Others might find you less sociable, as you are busier than ever and you focus on your activities and your needs. Still, you are outgoing and your initiative is stronger than ever. Advice – Stand alone, take action, start fresh, express independence.
You are a success-oriented person. Although you may not actively pursue success, it tends to come to you anyhow as you work determinedly. While you are willing to take some risks, you are basically very security-conscious. You rarely ask for help, feeling that if you can’t learn or do something on your own, it is somehow not very satisfying. You can be a bit of a workaholic and should try to avoid being so consumed by your work that your personal life suffers.

Forecast for April 2016 to April 2017
Your birthday occurs around a First Quarter Moon this year, and you are reaching an important turning point in terms of personal growth. You may be more emotional this year, and should watch for unnecessary conflicts and making hasty decisions as a result. Otherwise, this is a year of great energy, motivation, and growth. You are more ambitious and desirous of action in the year ahead. This should be a busy, dynamic period in your life.
You have a special way with people this year, and your personal magnetism is strong. Making connections with others comes more easily, particularly on romantic and creative levels.
With Uranus electrifying your Sun this year, you can expect a rather liberated and interesting period ahead. Changes are in store for you, and they’re likely to be very positive if you recognize and honor your need for newness in your life. This influence brings about big changes, sudden events, unanticipated disruptions, and surprising situations into your life. These happenings are likely to have a major impact on your character, vitality, and individuality. You may feel the urge to break out and embrace new and exciting things. Life will be exciting–and the changes positive–if you go with the flow. If you deny your urge for change, feelings of restlessness and rebelliousness will unexpectedly erupt, prompting sudden lunges for freedom that can have surprising results and reactions. This influence stimulates your creativity, excitability, self-will, and originality. Sudden flashes of insight increase your spiritual awareness. You may become more outspoken, even rebellious. Career breaks or changes are possible. Alternatively, you might change the direction of your life path to suit the “new you”. Unexpected events may cause you to rethink some of your goals and ambitions. In the area of relationships, there could be sudden attachments and equally sudden breakups. Ongoing connections with others may also undergo abrupt fluctuations.
Transiting Saturn harmonizes with your Sun from January forward, however, and this can be a steadying, helpful influence. You are practical in your choices (for the most part), keeping your feet on the ground and paying attention to, and honoring, tradition as well as tried-and-true methods. You have the power of practicality, realism, and caution on your side in the year ahead.

Positive plans and lifestyle changes can be made at this time in your life. Personal magnetism runs high.
2016 is a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It’s generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice – take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.
2017 will be a Number Nine year for you. Ruled by Mars. This is a year of completion and transition. It is a time when we need to let go of things that no longer serve their purpose, and hold on to things that have a future. It is a time of cleaning out dead wood, not necessarily for new beginnings. It can be a time when a burden has been taken off your shoulders, and it can be a year of giving of yourself. Advice – let go of things that are holding you back, give of yourself and express your sympathetic, compassionate side.
With Jupiter in your solar sixth house this year, dear Aries, you are particularly involved in your work and often go out of your way to support, help, and otherwise be of use to others. Today, you may be providing people information, doing research for them, or helping them do manual and practical tasks with Mercury in your resources sector connecting favorably with Jupiter. Your supportive role is not always recognized, but could be “seen” today. Your thinking is especially broad but sharp along practical, financial, and business lines today, but there can also be new insight into a work or health matter. With more faith in your abilities and in your worth now, it could be a good time to ask for a raise or to attract positive feedback from others. Sharing ideas with co-workers might be rewarding. Your ideas can be marketable.
Taurus
Taurus
Mercury is in your sign these days, dear Taurus, encouraging you to express yourself. Today, Mercury connects well with Jupiter in your romantic, creative solar fifth house, making it a strong time to express your ideas and your affections. You are more fulfilled these days when you can bring something special to the world, and you’ll find that people are seeing you in an especially favorable light, particularly on mental levels at the moment. Today is good for presenting an idea, and using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests. Some of you could be discovering new avenues for self-expression through a hobby or creative pastime, or you could be experiencing the excitement of romantic expression. There can be an agreement reached today, or pleasant conversations that give you a strong feeling that you’re supported and your ideas are reinforced. Interviews, negotiations, and diagnoses are all favored now.
Gemini
Gemini
Nesting instincts are quite strong for you recently, dear Gemini, and today’s energies support connecting with family as well as yourself through your inner world, fantasies, and musings. Today is good for growing a close relationship or reconciling with someone, even if it’s a reconciliation that takes place in your heart or in your thoughts. There is an easy flow of thoughts that can eventually lead to a better understanding of your deeper or buried needs and wants. Ideas may even come through dreams, although they can just as well be generated through heart to heart conversations. There can be news about a personal or private matter that helps you to heal, or a new way of looking at a problem – an especially positive spin on something that has troubled you in the past – that lifts your spirits. It’s a powerful day for reaching out to others.
Cancer
Cancer
This is a strong day for making connections on a mental level, but also with others, dear Cancer. Your social life can thrive and your ideas are likely to be received especially well right now. A friendship can grow through your communications, positive reinforcement, pleasant compliments or acknowledgements, your choice of words, and your unique perspective. Your thinking is fresh right now, and you can come up with new spins on old problems or you may simply be looking forward with more hope, optimism, and confidence. It’s a good time to do some big picture thinking, particularly about pet projects or causes. There is a natural rhythm on mental and communication levels that flows without effort, and while you may miss it if you’re not looking for it, it can subtly enhance your feeling of well-being.
Leo
Leo
The Moon moves into your sign late morning, dear Leo, after spending some time in your privacy sector. This can bring you more visibility, and it can also increase your need to feel connected emotionally to the world around you. You are speaking with greater impact and more authority with Mercury at the top of you solar chart these days, and today, your instincts are powerful for what to say and how to say it. It’s also a fine time for good decision making and fair assessments or new solutions to old problems. You can come up with great ideas about money and business now. The finer things in life have special appeal, and may be a significant motivating factor for plans made now. Optimism and a positive outlook bring opportunities into your life now.
Virgo
Virgo
Your ruler, Mercury, is not only in favorable aspect to your sign, but also to Jupiter in your sign, dear Virgo. This can point to natural, strong confidence that is radiated to others, and also to easy channels for communicating your ideas. This is a time for presenting your ideas to a receptive “audience”. Your aura is approachable, and your perspective and sense of humor are appreciated and noticed. You may be asked to speak on a matter or to give advice. This is a good time for getting the right message across. It’s also strong for making plans, learning, taking tests, and reaching out to make connections. Whether you’re on vacation or not, you have the vacationing frame of mind.
Libra
Libra
This is a potentially powerful day for overcoming a problem or making peace with something from your past, dear Libra. Enormous strength is coming from within right now, and in fact, all year to some degree, and it can even surprise you from time to time. If something is stimulating a fear, it may be exactly where you need to go in order to overcome it. Your intuition is in fine form, and conversations that may not typically take place can be rewarding and successful. You are drawing upon your considerable inner wisdom in order to help out someone you care about or for gaining new insight into your own internal workings. You may wish to discuss a private or personal matter with someone you trust. The spoken or written word seems to be the best vehicle for solving problems at the moment.
Scorpio
Scorpio
This is a fine day for social connections and communications, dear Scorpio. Agreements can be made that are mutually beneficial. Conversations can help boost a relationship, particularly as you and others are being positive and supportive, as well as open-minded. This can be a time you receive positive reviews, or something happens that inspires hopeful, optimistic feelings, particularly about, or because of, a relationship. There is a stronger interest in cooperating and sharing common goals. You are projecting a joyful, optimistic energy that attracts others to you and that makes people feel especially good in your presence. Advice can emerge that is truly helpful. You might find special reward and benefit through sharing your ideas, ideals, dreams, and hopes with someone special, and in fact, you could discover that you’re going in a similar direction. Partnering up makes sense right now.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
This can be a fine day for work, reputation, and career, dear Sagittarius, and/or you could be feeling good about these areas of life. This may be due to appreciation for the work you do, which motivates you even further to do your best. You tend to be more visible, more well-known, and generally more likable this year with Jupiter at the top of your solar chart, and its connection with Mercury today points to good communications as well as a better sense of what you need to do in order to move forward in the best way possible. You are both enthusiastic and resilient. Good news can arrive, or you could discover important information, about health. You may be coming to an agreement or seeing things in complementary ways with a partner. It’s a strong day for negotiations and for coming up a winner in competitions.
Capricorn
Capricorn
Your ideas, thoughts, and creative process all flow well today, dear Capricorn, making it an excellent time for expressing yourself through creative mediums, for having an important conversation (particularly with loved ones), and for making decisions about travel, higher learning, and long-term goals. You crave a little more from life than you typically do, although this is more about mental stimulation at the moment. Your perception of the world opens up and broadens, possibly through the news you hear or conversations you have right now. You are especially open-minded right now and can approach almost any topic, even a dull one, with a lively spin today that attracts others to you. You might come to peace about a matter with someone, or settle a problem. People are inspired by your thoughts and ideas, and for some of you, a creative opportunity might emerge now.
Aquarius
Aquarius
This can be an interesting day for releasing problems through conversation, dear Aquarius. You can have a strong urge to open yourself up emotionally today. Aim to be especially open and forthcoming with family. Your thinking is forward-looking and positive, and you can approach domestic matters, finances, and routines in a new way. Concentrating on the more positive and supportive elements in your life can lift your spirits. You are not as sensitive to minor irritations and more willing to ignore petty problems in order to focus on the bigger picture, so take advantage. There can be good news about, or simply good relations with, family and home matters, which gives you a nice feeling of optimism now. It’s also a potentially strong time for managing finances and coming up with money-making ideas with Mercury and Jupiter connecting in your solar fourth and eighth houses.
Pisces
Pisces
This is a good day for resolving problems, communicating, reaching out, and learning new things, dear Pisces. You can readily and naturally guide others towards understanding and resolve through your own stories. People could be seeking you out for advice. Whether it’s through your own thinking, the conversations you have, or information coming in, you have reason to feel more confident, hopeful, and optimistic. Others tend to treat you well, give you the benefit of the doubt, and enjoy your perspective and sense of humor today. This is an excellent time for writing, particularly about your feelings toward someone or for promotion or publicity work. People are truly listening to what you have to say right now. Partnering up to come to a conclusion, to make plans, or to solve problems can be quite successful.

Blessed Being, change is constant in life. It is the fact that Time marks. You see change around you and happening to you. You see that the passage of Time has an effect. Rather than change, we could say that movement is constant in Life. From the subatomic to the visible, movement is occurring infinitely.
We have said before that the movement of Time is around you and within you. It responds to you, with you, and through you. Your ability to work directly with Time relies on your ability to speak clearly with it, to speak its language, to come to an understanding. This speaking is not with words, it is with vibration. What is vibration but movement?
As you observe Time and your life on Earth, you recognize a cycle of movement and rest. You recognize that your body needs a distinct amount of rest from movement to function optimally. It is in these moments of sleep, meditation, and imagination that your biological system is in tune with the language of Time. In these moments, you are Allowing Time, you are connecting with the flow of Time so peacefully, that it nurtures instead of propels.
This state of connection—of rest, quiet, calm, and allowing—it is a moment of Conscious Peace. How often do you reach that by choice? Sleep is a great need. Without it, your functionality is noticeably difficult. You can even utilize stimulants to combat the fatigue, but eventually you must succumb to sleep or suffer rather extreme consequences. We point out the obvious to bring the non-obvious into better focus.
What about your states of meditation and imagination? How important are they? You know that with a practice of quieting the self, you reap benefits. It is actually a state of focus, it is just that these particular states of focus combat worry and anxiety. It is a time of focus within the self rather than outside of the self. These states soothe chaos or disharmony within the vibration of self, just as sleep does.
This is the key of Being Change.
As you allow your self to soothe into a conscious connection of peace with Life, you touch the beneficial and nurturing harmony, the support of Love—the passive strength of the invisible realms.
In these moments of Conscious Peace, you are becoming One with the harmony of Life, with the great force that builds worlds. You are whole, connected, and affecting great change through the passive force of Love. It is in these moments that your power to build the future increases, for you are working from the internal, rather than the quick fix of reworking the external and convincing the self into believing that because the outside has changed appearance, the inside must be different as well.
It is in these moments that you allow a connection with Love to emanate from you—into your life, and your world.
It is in this way that you are Being the Love that is causing change. You are Being Change.
This movement is not visible in the moment, but it is rearranging Life at its core, where Love resides. Perhaps in another moment, you will be called to action, but this internal harmony is your first action of change. A state of Being that allows Love to nurture change. Quiet yourself. Imagine it. Be it.
As we sit to Blast Being Change, we are opening our minds to the ease of Time flowing, for each new day and night supports change and offers improvement. We are allowing the Love of Life to soothe our fears into a Knowing that All is well. We are connecting with the vastness of Life, receiving its infinite safety as Time illuminates the path of Love. We are holding our harmony in the chaos of fearful humans that have not yet touched the beauty of their own heart. We are the calm in the storm, the safe shores that await the courageous to reach out and touch the future of Love. Blast on!

The Devil is perhaps the most perplexing card one can have in their set of personal cards. He represents all that most find undesirable, distasteful. He embodies the seven deadly sins (Lust, Gluttony, Avarice, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride). The Devil is evil personified. However, it is unlikely his presence in your cards means you are most suited to be a child of Satan. Think of the saying “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” The more plausible explanation is that you are actually quite moral, and feel a deep duty to oppose the dark forces The Devil embodies. This in no way implies you should establish your own inquisition, but simply that you are acutely aware of the destructive influences in our world and have the strength to resist them.
The Lovers indicates both the most powerful of unions and the most of challenging conflicts humans must face. On one side The Lover’s embodies love and union on a cosmic scale—a love so strong, so inherently good that it actually makes the lovers better, more than they really are. All of the elements are there for the perfect union. The Lovers represent all powerful unions in general, and the elements that create/sustain them. The problem The Lovers face is temptation and the decision to act morally or abandon their ethics to take advantage of other opportunities that would be defined as transgressions.
