Shuffling the Tarot cards before a reading is an essential step in the Tarot process. This quick action allows you to focus on why you’re conducting the reading and to imprint your energy on the cards.

Before even shuffling the cards, take a moment to reflect and relax. Reading Tarot is all about intuition. Your intuition will help you choose the best Tarot cards for your situation — but only if you can listen to your intuition over the noise of your everyday thoughts.
Then, get ready to shuffle the Tarot cards. If you are using a deck often used by others or you were in a different space/mood during your last reading, you need to override the previous energies so that nothing interferes with the clarity of the current reading. This is called “clearing the Tarot deck,” and shuffling is the easiest way to do this (also, there is something soothing about the physical action of moving the cards around that will help you relax).
As you shuffle, focus on the question for which you need answers. Many people find it helpful to say the question aloud, but this isn’t necessary.
The thing to remember is that there is no wrong way to shuffle your Tarot cards. No matter how you shuffle, it’s the energy and the intention that really matter. That said, you have several options for shuffling. Here are three of our favorites:
For other ideas on how to shuffle your Tarot cards, check out Biddy Tarot’s YouTube video.
Any of these methods can be repeated as many times as you’d like — and even used together. For example, you can use the messy method once before cutting the deck twice. Again, it’s all about what feels right to you and making sure that your question or intention is really at the top of your mind as you concentrate on choosing your card or cards.

The Hierophant represents the protector of a culture’s heritage and traditions. His purpose is to defend and teach the established ways and beliefs a group embraces. He is inherently conventional and a true believer in the power of the group. He loves the structure of the group and its values. It is the task of The Hierophant to bring new members into the group—to prepare the uninitiated to take their rightful place in his culture. In this sense he is very much like a teacher or a priest. He also acts as the repository of his group’s history. The Hierophant is certainly not one to buck proper authority. However, he is a staunch and worthy defender of the tried and true. He represents the positive aspects of tradition and conformity.
It’s a whole new ballgame today once the Moon shifts into gallant Sagittarius at 5:14 am EDT. Everything becomes a study in possibilities and probabilities as the Moon harmonizes with analytical Mercury and resourceful Venus. But satisfaction is hard to find while Mercury and Venus are annoyed by boisterous Jupiter. There are new roads to explore or something beckoning on the horizon that keeps us from achieving fulfillment in the present moment.
It’s as if you lost the ability to tell the difference between enough and too much. You may be reflecting on your own personal version of the global meltdown where all signs are blindly pointing down the Road of Excess. Nevertheless, you might want to limit your indulgent proclivities before finding yourself in an awkward predicament. But don’t worry about losing face; as a human, you are full of shortcomings and inconsistencies like everyone else. Before you judge anyone else, just remember compassion works both ways.
It makes you nervous when your adrenaline heats up your blood. You normally seek freedom by creating practical plans, but now they only bore you. You might surprise your friends with your new outlook as you strive to squeeze more into your weekend. Although others see you in a different light, you’re not as comfortable with all the fanfare as you seem. You don’t need to impress anyone else; slow down and enjoy where you are without striving to be something you’re not.
You have slipped into a cosmic grace period when people seem to enter your life just to make it better. Naturally, there’s no resistance on your part; you like the idea of participating in activities just for the fun of it. But you might need to make some tough choices because you can’t say yes to everything. Take cues from your environment; the flow of events will lead you in the right direction today. Luckily, answers come easily now as long as you observe the signs and pay them heed.
Your big plans for the weekend might sound like a dream come true, but first you must make it through today’s list of chores. Unfortunately, piles of work prevent you from jumping into play mode too soon. Nevertheless, you can’t stop your brain from planning for the good times to come while the Moon influences your 6th House of Logistics. Don’t get too far ahead of yourself; counting chickens before they hatch is never a smart idea. One foot in front of the other will get you to your destination on time.
You’re eager to finish up your chores because the Moon’s shift into your 5th House of Fun and Games is inviting you out to play. Although you might not be free to call your own shots until you finish your work, nothing can stop you from imagining all the fun that’s just around the corner. But don’t make your move too soon or you’ll mess things up before they even get off the ground. A magical time awaits you if you have the good sense to stay focused on the present moment until your obligations are fulfilled.
Fighting the temptation of inflated thinking is one of your recognized skills, but today it will require a consistent high level of concentration. Thankfully, you’re up for the task while your key planet Mercury challenges bombastic Jupiter in your sign. You are walking a fine line between optimism and realism now. Keep in mind that “practical” is not a dirty word. It just takes a little more creativity to imagine castles in the air while your feet are on the ground.
A sweetness of spirit permeates your day but it can quickly turn sour if you are too greedy. Indulging your senses is a well-earned luxury now as long as you know when to stop. Although Mae West said, “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful,” it’s just not true for you today. Basking in a lovely experience is fabulous, but pushing your limits too far leads to disaster. Get ahead of the curve by practicing moderation before it’s too late.
You’re anticipating some overdue downtime, yet still may need to juggle work and play today. Performance art takes on an entirely new meaning now as you share your ideas about the future. But knowing your audience is absolutely crucial or you could ramble on endlessly about something that isn’t even of interest. Your steady vigilance and your acute sense of timing enable you to decide when to stop talking and when to swing into action.
Although the weekend is quickly approaching, you might be required to reverse your priorities by indulging yourself early in the day and settling down to work later in the evening. Nevertheless, you’re restless and on the lookout for your next adventure while the Moon is visiting your expansive sign. Additionally, prosperous Jupiter is in the spotlight, inspiring you to reinvest in an idea or a person. Give yourself plenty of time; you could grow disappointed when you realize you can’t arrive at a destination the very same moment you leave.
Your external success is dependent upon your internal housekeeping today. For someone who likes to keep your world orderly, it might be more constructive if you let some corner of your domain remain completely chaotic now. This uncharacteristic behavior is a metaphor that gives you permission to leave your imagination raw and wild. An unrestrained fantasy life leads to new ideas and the potential of an ingenious breakthrough if you’re willing to take a risk.
You’re enjoying the company of your friends and colleagues so much today that it’s difficult to get back to unfinished business. But it’s absolutely imperative that you live up to your professional commitments now because your forward progress will be inhibited until you do. Nevertheless, your enthusiasm can work in your favor if you imagine the fun times ahead as a reward for a job well done. As Mahatma Gandhi wrote, “The future depends on what we do in the present.”
Everything at work is flowing so smoothly today that you might begin to wonder if you’re missing something. The truth is you could easily overlook an important piece of information that will be crucial later on. Don’t assume you have all the answers. Asking a friend or colleague for advice gives you the perspective you need to you can turn a pretty good day into one that rocks your world.
Part of the Daily Insight Group
You are a very focused person, with some obsessive qualities, but as you gain life experience, you learn to ease up and enjoy yourself more. You often have a cause that you’re passionate about and certainly enjoy helping people or opening others’ eyes – teaching them to see the world differently. You are communicative, busy, and often on the go. You love to travel, but your home base is very important to you.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:
With the Sun and Moon in harmony in your Solar Return chart, the year ahead should be satisfying and balanced overall. You are in comfortable demand and personally popular, and you are able to achieve a decent balance between work and play; personal and professional life. For the most part, you are on top of your game this year, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there is less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!
Uranus continues to transit square to your Sun until March 2017. With this aspect, any situations that you have felt to be limiting of your freedom will be hard to accept any longer. You might experiment with a new look or manner, or simply come off in an entirely new way as you feel your life speeding up. You are not dwelling on the past, and instead you are interested most in what the future might bring. In the process, you could resent others if they seem to be telling you what to do or think, and you are not especially receptive to good advice. There may be some confrontation with friends, a boss, or a partner that prompts a breaking of ties. Remember that you may be reacting to a bruised ego and you may not be in touch with your deeper feelings before making permanent decisions. It’s possible that you need to move on, but do take time to make decisions wisely. You might be tempted to throw out practical or traditional considerations in favor of more exciting or stimulating plans. Unexpected changes in plans or events are likely. Although they might be unsettling at times, they could stimulate you to try new approaches and they certainly act to cut boredom. Your creativity is stimulated this year, but so is your excitability and your need for freedom. You are likely to be more outspoken than usual, perhaps even rebellious. This can be a strong year for artists and for developing skills and talents, particularly along creative lines.
While you can be a little impulsive with communications at times, you aim to be very diplomatic when dealing with others this year. You are not afraid of competition, and can in fact find some competitiveness stimulating and motivating, but you tend to achieve much through cooperation. If you can learn to curb your impulsiveness, your insight can be a true asset.
This can be a year in which you are a little bolder, more assertive, and energetic. You are especially interested in setting goals and challenges for yourself this year, and taking the necessary action to meet them. You may meet or interact with others who encourage or inspire you in some way to have more confidence in yourself.
Some form of recognition for your work or for past good deeds may be forthcoming this year. Fortunate circumstances arise from a positive attitude, generosity of spirit, as well as sincere self-expression. You could find that doors open to you at just the right times.
This can be a busy period in your life. Your communications are more colorful, and you have more impact with what you communicate. You tend to seek out mental stimulation and activity. You are also likely to present yourself well during this period of your life, and personal magnetism is great.
You can effectively use words to soothe, heal, and teach this year. You are also more open to new ways of looking at problems, thus it’s considerably easier to find solutions.
Something big is in the works regarding your love life. You’ll have a chance to heal old wounds with regards to love this year. You’re also bound to find new ways of making money.
Good energy is with you for debate or energetic mental work. You can convey your ideas more powerfully. You’re quick to take the initiative and to put your thoughts into action. You are especially adept at directing and leading others and good at making decisions.
You often have a way with words this year, and verbalizing your feelings can be enjoyable. You are able to handle people well, and negotiations are favored in general. This can be a good year for dabbling in the arts, furthering a creative hobby or craft, and exploring new artistic interests. Even so, there can be distinct advantages to working in some level of solitude this year as it can be too easy to become distracted on social levels, which can impact your productivity. You may find that your ideas are sometimes a little too scattered to catch on, and it can be difficult following through on some of them. Watch for jumping to conclusions and rebelling against others’ ideas or advice. Routine can be especially boring.
Also watch for impatience or fits of temper that work against you this year. There may be changes in work schedules or life’s circumstances could challenge you in such a way that you need to change your goals or actions. This can also be a time when you tend to resist others and challenge them if they are trying to hold you back. Energy fluctuates this year. If you can avoid rash or impulsive moves, you could enjoy more courage than usual to do things that break the routine or clear the air.
Your unique manner of expressing and asserting yourself is in focus and appreciated this year. Suppressed anger is more effectively released in creative ways. Physical healing can help inner healing, and vice versa.
You might surprise people with the changes you make this year. You are making bolder moves than usual. Your style is especially unique this year, and you stand out as particularly personable and talented. While there is some tendency to make emotionally-driven decisions, your timing is otherwise quite good. Love and social matters can be up and down, but also quite magical at times. Personal appeal is excellent. New and interesting experiences are likely, but energy can fluctuate and impulsive moves should be watched for. This is a strong year for taking up interesting studies and for meeting people through artistic interests and hobbies.
2016 is a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time, when it is easy to enjoy life and other people. Focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure. It is likely to be a rather lighthearted year, when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a good year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out, but avoid scattering your energies.
2017 will be a Number Four year for you. Ruled by Uranus. This is a year of work and development. It’s “nose to the grindstone” time. It’s a time to deal with practical matters, and it’s not a time to be lazy or especially gregarious. Sometimes, it can be a year that feels hard, monotonous and routine, and/or lonely. Positive new relationships are generally not formed in a Four personal year. Advice – get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy.
Aries
This is a strong day for emotional healing, speaking about matters of the heart, and bonding with loved ones, dear Aries. You can be especially focused and will pursue your personal aims with determination. It’s a good time to make a lifestyle change. You are more likely to seek out deeper connections to others today, but while you are certainly in a more intense mood than usual, you are very capable of detaching yourself enough to have abstract conversations now, and can learn much about creative projects or methods now. Conversations with family are in focus.
Taurus
Your relationships continue to be in strong focus today, dear Taurus. Today is powerful for good communications that help you bond with people you care about. You come alive right now in a one-to-one situation, whether this is with a close friend or partner or in a counseling set-up. Good ideas come from conversations, and so do good feelings! You may be feeling a little dependent on others right now, but mostly in a pleasant, connected way. You tend to go with the flow rather than make waves today, as you are seeking harmony and balance as a priority.
Gemini
This is a good day for getting organized and taking care of business, dear Gemini, and you’re inclined to really enjoy doing so. You might also play a supportive role to others, and while this was likely the case yesterday as well, today you are more apt to feel good about it. You’re just fine with others taking the lead while you work hard in the background, just for now. Clutter or disorganization can be very irritating to you today, so you’d be wise to bring some order into your life as soon as you can in order to maximize satisfaction. Staying idle can make you restless, so roll up your sleeves and get things done!
Cancer
This is a strong day for feeling self-assured and confident, dear Cancer. You’re likely to find that others either support you or step out of the way and let you “do your thing”. Today, you instinctively know how to work for instead of against yourself, and your head and heart tend to be in agreement, and decision making benefits. It’s a generally balanced day, and your personal appeal is quite strong. You may be wearing your heart on your sleeve, or your feelings obviously expressed in your face, perhaps without even knowing it. This is a day when connecting without pretenses is highly favored.
Leo
This is a strong day for building relationships, bonding with others, and connecting with your own deeper needs and desires, dear Leo. You are especially observant and quite willing to watch and learn rather than jump into action, and this attitude can benefit you from time to time, and particularly today. There can be wonderfully sentimental moments enjoyed now. You may need a space to call your own, however, as much as connecting with others on an emotional level is favored. A good balance between alone time and moments of sharing would be ideal and quite achievable now.
Virgo
This can be an imaginative and sociable day, dear Virgo. You are likely to learn something truly useful. Reaching out to others is favored, although you’re quite content to work on your own as well, making a balance between the two ideal. You’re more emotionally invested than usual in your ideas, beliefs, intelligence, and feelings of belonging today, and while this can leave you feeling a little vulnerable at times, you’re likely to feel good about your experiences. You have a stronger need to be heard. You tend to go with your gut today, and it’s likely quite effective.
Libra
This is a strong day for connecting with the world of the five senses, dear Libra. Activities that bring you down to earth, reconnect you with nature, and help to ground you can be very beneficial now. As well, your senses are keen for business and practical matters. You might crave new things or you can thoroughly enjoy taking care of and organizing prized collections and possessions. This is not an adventurous time, as you are in need of some predictability and a sense of security, but it’s a good time for getting to know what it is you truly value. Bolder times lie ahead, but for now, you need to settle in. It’s also a good day for talking about or solving problems surrounding career, business, and goals. A business can benefit from networking efforts now.
Scorpio
Your emotions are pronounced today with the Moon in your sign all day, dear Scorpio, and you may be keeping others guessing with your moodiness. However, for the most part, you are in a forward-looking, expressive, and positive mood. Today and the next couple of days can stimulate any latent impulsiveness. You’re certainly in need of fresh experiences and if you don’t seek them out, they tend to find you anyway! Gut feelings are likely to be correct now. While you tend to want to go your own way today, sharing ideas and experiences with others — as long as you can still feel free and independent — can be especially rewarding. It’s a good time for pursuing personal goals and studies.
Sagittarius
The Moon spends the entire day in the sign right behind yours, dear Sagittarius, and this points to the need to go undercover in some way as you regenerate, process, heal, digest, and renew your emotional spirit. With the Moon in supportive aspect today, you should find good outlets for doing these things. Some level of retreat from the “real world” can be good for you now. You are sensitive and observant. You might enjoy helping or supporting others today, and conversations can be very productive, so this is not necessarily about shutting out the world completely – it’s simply about keeping some things to yourself and not doing things that will overtax your system. The Moon will move into your sign tomorrow morning, and it will encourage you to connect with your environment, but for now, honor the need to rest, relax, and escape.
Capricorn
You are more emotionally invested in your friendships, happiness goals, and close relationships today than usual, dear Capricorn, and the extra attention you bring to these can benefit you greatly. You can be feeling nice friendship vibes and kinship with people today. This is a good time for activities related to teamwork, support groups, and networking. Personal causes and aspirations are in stronger focus, and although subject to some ups and downs, generally have you feeling motivated and connected. While emotions figure strongly, you’re also in the position to converse objectively about personal matters, making it a great time to sort through trouble areas in relationships or to address tricky issues.
Aquarius
You are a little more ambitious than usual today, dear Aquarius, and aware of what others expect of you. People are noticing you for your efforts and your performance, and the feedback should be quite positive now. It’s a strong day for work and ambitious projects. You are goal-oriented and focusing on accomplishing something important now, and pleasantly so. It can feel quite wonderful to nurse ambition without pressure or stress. Pacing yourself comes more easily than usual to you, and you quite naturally take the lead. Charisma and influence are strong.
Pisces
There is a strong desire to explore and gently push your usual boundaries today, dear Pisces. Every once in awhile, challenging yourself in small ways to do something different or new can subtly but effectively boost your confidence, and today is strong for doing so. You may be craving slightly exotic or unusual things and experiences now, and some of you may be attracted to someone surprising. Dreams or visions can be prophetic. You’re pleasantly emotional today, finding it easy to absorb the atmospheric moods around you. Aim to expand your horizons in some way today.
The Moon today is in a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has it’s roots in the Latin word “gibbous” meaning humpbacked.
Life passes into life. There is no death. Remember this.
365 Days of Meditations on the Goddess
Mata Enzer
This patriotic holiday in France commemorates the seizure of the Bastille, a fortress in Paris that housed political prisoners such a Voltaire and the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask. It was the storming of the Bastille that brought the lower classes into the French Revolution.
In the United States, Bastille Day is still celebrated by descendants of French Canadians, especially in Kaplan, Louisiana, a small town about 75 miles southwest of Baton Rouge. The Bastille Day celebration is of such epic proportions that it requires a special committee to monitor its activities. The high point of the festivities is the annual Bastille Day Wine Glass Race. The contestants each pay $15 to race a sloped walkway while balancing trays of wine-filled glasses on one hand. The first-place winner receives a bottle of Moet & Chandon and a trip to New York; second place wins a trip to Boston; third, dinner for two a local restaurant.

Thursday comes from the Latin Dies Iovis, which means “Jove’s day” Jove, or Jupiter as he was sometimes called, was the supreme god and patron of the ancient Romans. Jove/Jupiter is associated with wealth, leadership, thunder, and lightning. A lord of heaven, Jove/Jupiter was also a god of light, and his sacred color is white. In the Greek mythologies, this deity was known as Zeus. This fifth day of our bewitching week was eventually turned into the Old English Thursdaeg or Thunresdaeg, which translates to “thunder’s day” or, more simply, “Thor’s day.” This day of the week is named after Thor, the popular Norse god of thunder. Thor was the son of Odin. He carried a war hammer called Mjollnir, and it was this that made the thunder and lightning. All of these Thursday gods-Jupiter/Jove, Zeus, and Thor-were wielders of the thunderbolt.
Thursday has the planetary association of Jupiter, and this day of the week is associated with prosperity, abundance, leadership, and good health. Prosperity and abundance are the typical magickal concerns on a Thursday. However, the way people define prosperity can vary greatly between individuals.
Personally, I think prosperity and abundance aren’t about owning the biggest house, fanciest wardrobe, or the newest car. It’s about living within your means and living well. My definition of prosperity is having enough money in the checking account to cover the bills and to pay for the groceries; anything left over is gravy.
But with a family, there is always something. Just about the time you’re feeling confident, something pops up. Somebody has to go to the doctor or the dentist, or someone needs work done on their car. Or my daughter calls from college with the classic “send money” request. It’s enough to drive me bonkers! For instance, just this past month, I got hit up for sorority dues, book fees, dentist bills, a bit of car repair and, lest we forget, living money for my daughter while she is away at school. Ouch!
The aspiration to make your budget stretch and to find ways to cover extra expenses is a real need for just about everybody. So on this bewitching day, let’s look at some practical, magickal ways to increase your prosperity and try out a few enchanting ideas designed to create a little abundance and, last but not least good health.

One of the universal standards in ethical behavior is that you never perform energy work that manipulates the free will of another person. For instance, you do not ask the Universe to “make” someone love you if the or she does not have those feelings. You do not ask that someone to leave their home or job if you know that is not their desire. This is practical as well as ethical because the power of a person’s free will is very strong. It takes a tremendous amount of personal energy to overcome the free will of another and manipulate their life. This degree of energy is also normally not sustainable, so the effect would not last very long. Typically, such manipulation is NOT in our own greatest good anyway and would ground and neutralize. The point of using Bio-Universal energy is to work on yourself and your own life; not someone else’s.
If your goal involves other people, make certain that you are phrasing you goal in such a way that the impact of the result is on you rather than on others. If you want to manifest a romantic relationship, do not center your work on one person, but rather work toward a particular way you want to feel in a relationship and a certain type of relationship you desire. If you want a better paying job, do not work toward taking someone else’s job, but instead work toward how you want to feel in your new job and the details of the job you wish to have. This also opens up more options for the Universe to bring you what you want rather than limiting its focus on one particular situation.
One of the fastest ways your energy grounds is by your own free will getting in the way. Let’s say you don’t have a job and you know you really need one and if you don’t get one, you’re going to be in a serious financial lurch. You engage Bio-Universal energy to get a job, but you want to stay home in bed and not go to work. If your entire will is not behind the energy you send to your goal, your energy will be divided and weakened. It is important that you do the homework, so to speak, and clear away any internal obstacles you may have to your success. Maybe you ask that a relationship be healed when that really is not what you want. You might ask to attract buyers to your house when deep down, you do not want to move. Free will choices will not always derail your energy work, but they can most certainly slow it down.
Another way that Free Will has a major impact on magical endeavors is in the practice of gambling. One would think it would be easy to go to a slot machine, roulette wheel, or a card table send some energy toward the cards or the wheel and pour out a jackpot. The problem with gambling, especially lotteries, is that you are placing your free will choices up against those of many others who all want the target just as much as you do. The free will of all of those people pulls against and balances out your own free will interests. The free will desires of the casino are also at play. In short, gambling is one of the very few completely neutral places where if a win is meant to be, it will happen.
