Fortune



Fortune represents that aspect of life that is directed by forces and events we may not understand or even be aware of.

Tarot Card Reversals

Tarot Card Reversals

Get more meaning when you turn that Tarot card upside down

Do you have a handle on the Tarot card basics? Well, then, you’re ready for reversals!

Most of the Tarot readings you’ll see on deal strictly with upright Tarot cards because they are easier to interpret. But many advanced Tarot readers often shuffle their decks to include reversed Tarot cards because they can lend another layer of insight.

Turned upside down, Tarot cards can have an entirely different meaning from their upright interpretations. Some people think a reversed Tarot card guarantees bad news, but that’s not the case at all. Often reversed Tarot cards deliver good news, or simply strengthen or weaken the primary message of the upright card.

When reversed cards show up in your Tarot reading, you must listen to your gut and look at the surrounding cards to understand what the reversed Tarot card is trying to tell you. It may be positive, negative or neither — it could just be conveying a lesson you need to learn.

Three of the most common ways to interpret reverse Tarot cards include:

Opposite meaning of the upright Tarot card

Many Tarot readers who use reversals simply believe the reversed Tarot card delivers the exact opposite message of the upright card. For example, if The Devil card shows up in a reading it can indicate being trapped, whereas the reversed Devil card can indicate being set free. This is the easiest way to interpret reversed Tarot cards, but it’s not necessarily the best way.

Increased or decreased energy

Some Tarot readers believe reversed Tarot cards indicate the same basic energy of the upright card, only it will be strengthened or lessened. For example, if you draw the 3 of Swords Tarot card upright, it can indicate heartbreak. But if you draw the 3 of Swords in reverse, it can indicate you are either less heartbroken than you were previously — or that your extreme hurt feels insurmountable. With this method of reading reversals it is up to the querent to determine the true meaning of the card, so you must listen to your gut and pay close attention to the surrounding cards.

Delays and blocked energy

It’s possible your reversed Tarot card is simply trying to tell you there will be a block or delay before the upright meaning of the card is fulfilled. For example, the 10 of Cups in an upright position is a card of celebration — it indicates happiness, marriage, birth and reasons to rejoice. If this card shows up reversed in your spread, it can mean you will still have these things — but you’ll have to wait for them. This isn’t to be taken as a negative thing, however, simply a lesson to be patient or to help you find a way to remove the block.

Using reversed Tarot cards is more complicated because the meaning isn’t always clear, so such readings are best for more advanced Tarot readers. But the way to become advanced is through experience, so go ahead and practice! The more Tarot readings you do, the more intuitive the process will become, whether upright or reverse.

Your Daily Tarot Card for Tuesday, August 16th is The Chariot

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Chariot

 

The Chariot is the representation of Victory and the personality traits required to attain victory. The Chariot indicates self-awareness and control. Courage—the ability to overcome fear and confront the unknown head on–is a primary ingredient of any victorious campaign and is denoted by the Chariot. So too is force of will. Often success is as much the product of will power and a refusal to surrender as it is anything else. The Chariot also represents the healthy personality of someone who believes in themselves; someone who can take control of the situation and bring events to a positive end. His successes come in competition with others

Get A Jump On Tomorrow….

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 17th

by Rick Levine

 

General Horoscope

The erratic energy settles down today, revealing hidden layers of passion that lurk in the shadows of our minds as we head toward tomorrow’s Full Moon. Meanwhile, the conceptual Aquarius Moon gives us the ability to understand how an immediate situation fits into a larger context. However, our emotions flow freely now that needy Venus trines passionate Pluto. We have much to learn from those feelings we usually keep under wraps.

Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19

Prepare to journey to the bottom of the Sea of Mysteries today. You probably won’t be very comfortable during this excursion, but you know it’s something you must do to clear the air of hidden feelings. More emotions are brought to the surface than you prefer when compelling Venus trines dark Pluto, but you could return smiling from an unforgettable experience. As author Jack Canfield writes, “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”

Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20

Although you are usually willing to wait for what you want, you may lose your cool as the energy builds prior to tomorrow’s Full Moon. A perceptive Venus-Pluto trine enables you to see through the apparent niceties in a romantic relationship, urging you to say what’s left unsaid. Thankfully, your ability to cut past superficial issues and get to the heart of the matter offers closure that has been out of reach. Wake up with determination and go to bed with satisfaction.

Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20

Surprisingly, you’re not in the mood for casual flirtations today. You need to make deeper connections as sensual Venus in laser-like Virgo dances into the shadows of unfathomable Pluto, intensifying your desires. Your eagerness to sink into heavier feelings without analyzing them allows you to overcome your fear of emotional vulnerability. Don’t try to escape the complexity of the moment or you could miss the treasure that’s waiting for your discovery. Stay fully engaged until the darkness transforms into the light of awareness.

Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22

Listening to a piece of friendly advice may help you become aware of resources you didn’t realize you possessed. Hopefully you are ready to repair a relationship while diplomatic Venus forms a creative trine with regenerative Pluto. Thankfully, you are capable of processing deep feelings now without upsetting the status quo. Relationship problems are more easily resolved and you can address difficult issues with the power and self-control required to produce the desired outcome. Compassion is the key to your success.

Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22

A friend or partner might not respond as expected, raising uncharacteristic feelings of insecurity. This wave of self-doubt comes at an inconvenient time because an intense Venus-Pluto connection adds undeniable passion to everything you touch today. You don’t want to show your feelings because it only puts you in a more vulnerable position. However, maintaining integrity is more important than anything else now that Venus is visiting your 2nd House of Self-Esteem. Telling the truth may be awkward at first, but the emotional dynamics will quickly improve once everything is out in the open.

Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22

You are not afraid to step into the darker realms of your suppressed desires today. The love planet, Venus, creates an easy trine with intense Pluto to help you overcome complacency and make your needs known. Thankfully, the Aquarius Moon expands your perspective, allowing you to express yourself with sufficient detachment so others won’t be overwhelmed by your disclosure. Deep emotional transformation is just around the corner if you possess the clarity of mind to choose growth over stagnation.

Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22

You may experience intense desires today, yet you must settle your thoughts in order to enjoy the richness of the experience. Although you’re likely to be extra passionate about your cause now, you’re also aware that there’s a fine line between making your case and sounding like a fanatic. Fortunately, you’re able to take care of emotional business productively when Venus in analytical Virgo forms a charming trine with shrewd Pluto. This favorable alignment can also make you highly persuasive without seeming the least bit pushy to anyone around you.

Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21

You’re able to convey your strong passions to others today, yet you’re not so overwhelmed by your own feelings that you sacrifice your good judgment in the process. Sharp perception shows you the potential in people that others can’t see, while a profound awareness of what you need makes it simple to screen out distractions to get what you want. It’s almost as if you can’t go wrong as desirous Venus aligns in a harmonious trine with fierce Pluto, allowing you to apply your emotions intelligently. Repair a damaged relationship or strengthen a healthy one to take intimacy to a deeper level.

Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21

You excel at the art of persuasion today, and can easily convince others to give you the additional support you need. Stating your professional goals clearly entices the doubters to fall in line as they join your parade. The synergistic trine between magnetic Venus and passionate Pluto rewards you by revitalizing a valuable business relationship or setting a new one into place. Your talent for creating success through connections with others is solidified if you allow the energy to flow without restriction. It takes two sides to make a bridge.

Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19

You need to stop and make a decision before proceeding any further if your path to the future is still uncertain. Powerful Pluto in your sign is busy networking with resourceful Venus in your 9th House of Distant Horizons, reminding you to trust your feelings when it comes to setting long-term goals. As the Roman philosopher Seneca wrote, “If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.” Sink into your feelings; create a vibrant vision of your desired destination in your mind and make a promise to yourself to see your dream come to life.

Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18

You might feel quite vulnerable today, and your drive for intensity could arouse issues that connect love with power. Addressing your fears can be highly therapeutic, especially if you are able to bring your most secret desires out into the light while the soulful Moon is visiting your sign. Stop thinking about all of the alternatives; you already know what you need to do. Expressing your hidden feelings deepens a relationship as Venus forms a restorative trine to resurrecting Pluto. Don’t build unnecessary walls between you and those you love.

Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20

Strong emotional undercurrents take you on a transformational journey today. You’re not willing to accept “no” for an answer when sensual Venus forms a smooth trine to demanding Pluto, strengthening your desires. Unfortunately, it could be difficult to handle these intense feelings while the Moon is visiting emotionally detached Aquarius. But you may be pleasantly surprised with the results if you express your current dissatisfaction instead of suppressing the darker side of your attractions. It’s lack of communication, not distance, that keeps people apart.

If Today is Your Birthday: August 16

happy-birthday-cake

If Today is Your Birthday: August 16

You have exceptionally strong convictions, and some might call you hard-headed! You are a highly independent thinker. You value your freedom more than most. You never stop learning, and you accumulate knowledge easily because you are so open to it. You can reach success on your wit alone. As intelligent as you are, you are also extremely intuitive and have a spiritual side. At times, you can be uncompromising and willful, simply because you believe in yourself and your ideas. You are attracted to, or you attract, competent people who you admire for their sharp minds, regal manner, or wisdom. You need to totally respect the person you are with, and you will go to great lengths to support and accommodate the people you love. Famous people born today: Madonna, Timothy Hutton, Kathie Lee Gifford, James Cameron, Steve Carrell, Rumer Willis, Cameron Monaghan.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

Transiting Uranus harmonizes with your Sun this year. Your personality is sparkling during this period, which is sure to attract new circumstances and people into your life. Exciting (not jarring) changes and new interests characterize the period. It’s easier than ever to express your unique individuality, and if this involves changing careers or jobs, a new love affair, or an entirely new hobby, it’s something that takes you forward into unexplored territory. You are more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations this year. It’s a good time to join organizations and groups and to attend meetings or social events. You are able to find especially creative solutions to problems.

However, this year, Saturn also harmonizes with your Sun, starting in January 2017, and this helps you to bring a balance of tradition and progress into your life. Saturn’s transit suggests benefits from keeping your feet on the ground and paying attention to, and honoring, tradition as well as tried-and-true methods. Work you have done in the past begins to pay off now – 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. When you project a more responsible and credible “you”, people in authority are more inclined to appreciate you and recognize your work. This is a time in which you put your life in order in some significant manner. The key to success under this influence is adopting a realistic, practical, disciplined, and orderly approach to your life. Having a strong sense for both tradition and innovation opens doors for you. You have a real sense of tomorrow now, so it’s easier for you to take the necessary steps to make all of your “tomorrows” better.

Your ability to express yourself and to solve problems is enhanced. You may have opportunities to travel this year, and matters related to publishing, teaching, and writing should go especially well. You may find that you have the right information at the right time this year. You could also have big ideas and plans. Work, especially in communications, goes well. You are able to visualize in broader terms and see the “big picture” now. Your optimism can help you to attract positive circumstances into your life. You are especially enthusiastic about your ideas, and expressing yourself comes easily. Public relations and negotiations tend to run especially smoothly. This is a time for making long-range plans, seeing the big picture, and thinking about what is really important to you in the long run.

There can be significant involvement in publishing, television, or other areas where sharing ideas with large groups is a theme.

Your relationships are filled with passion and you are likely to have many affairs. You have a tendency to fall in love at first sight, but also to get bored quickly. You are very independent and have a constant need for excitement in your life.

You are able to organize activities well and seek active cooperation with others. Some of your meetings could occur suddenly, or you may unexpectedly start to work on a project with others. At times you also could have joint upsets or anxieties.

Your powers of investigation are strong – you go to the origin of a problem and work from there. There may be a project, idea, or person that demands much of your attention or occupies much of your thoughts. You are especially resourceful when your curiosity is piqued.

With Mars conjunct Saturn in your Solar Return chart, you are more determined and hard-working than usual. This is an excellent time to get organized and to stick with projects through to the end. When you face obstacles to your goals, which is a likely scenario this year, you are likely to just keep on pushing. Progress may be slow, but it’s steady and solid. What you accomplish now will benefit you for years to come.

There can be some wrestling with expectations or logistics in relationships this year. Feelings can sometimes run hot and cold in love. Venus in challenging aspect to Neptune and Saturn can affect finances or romantic relationships, and possibly both areas. Uncertainty in either of these areas is the theme, but this does not necessarily point to financial or romantic losses, by all means. It might point to, for example, a variable income that goes with the territory of self-employment, or a relationship that isn’t quite as settled as you’d like it to be for the time being. Saturn asks you to be responsible, hard working, dutiful, and serious when it comes to finances and/or romantic relationships. Neptune, on the other hand, places a veil over your eyes and seduces you into believing what you want to believe rather than what really is. You need to assess areas of your life that have become dysfunctional and, in the process, you may need to sacrifice a material benefit for a spiritual one (or vice versa). You are learning to put your priorities into better perspective. Venus is also moving towards a conjunction with the Moon’s North Node, suggesting that you are likely to attract growth-oriented relationships into your life. Your powers of negotiation are very strong, and this aspect points to some form of resolution to the matters mentioned above.

You may win respect and recognition for your work or craft this year. There is a good balance between learning from tradition and seeing things progressively.

You are better able to come to a good balance in attitude this year, and many life departments can benefit, although some relationships can be up and down and extra attention should be paid to financial matters. You’re in an exceptionally strong position for taking advantage of new opportunities while keeping your feet on the ground. There can be recognition for your work or talents.

 

2016 is a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It is a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are able to attract others, and material things as well, this year. This is a good year for establishing harmony in the family and in the home. Advice – develop existing relationships, be positive and receptive because these kinds of energies help you to attract what you desire.

2017 will be a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.

An opportunity might arise now that helps you to break free from restrictive circumstances, or that can lead to more freedom down the road. Some of you could be upgrading technology or might stumble upon an item that helps you improve efficiency.

Leo

Leo

You have even more impact than usual today, dear Leo, and you’re expressing yourself more spontaneously as well. Others are likely to receive you well. Finding yourself on the same page with a significant person in your life can be satisfying. This can be an advantageous time for drawing on the courage to assert your independence without alienating others in the process. You may solve a problem or two, not only for yourself but for others as well. You’re admired for your originality and unique perspective today. Non-routine activities tend to fare best right now, and some of you might even learn of or experience mind-blowing things today. Certainly, you are more spirited and open to change and progress than usual.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

Your inner world is animated, and you could have a strong sense that right now is the time to make significant emotional or spiritual changes, dear Virgo. As it often is these days, your attention turns to behind the scenes. You’re inclined to search within for answers. You can have sudden insights into your own behavior or that of others today, although you may not be as quick to share them, as you are in a particularly private frame of mind these days. An open mind is key right now, and you could feel quite happy with new discoveries, even if you do keep them to yourself for the time being. Surprises and opportunities can come out of the blue now, and an element/person of your past reappearing can be part of this.

Libra

Libra Astrology Glyph-Symbol
Libra

Your social life can be quite animated today, dear Libra. Aim to be open to possibilities and also to making changes related to a partner or friend. Surprises or changes can occur now with your relationships, and they are likely to be pleasant or at least stimulating enough to get you thinking and relating in new ways. Share your personal philosophy with someone special, and don’t be afraid to approach certain topics – as long as you do it with grace and warmth, which comes naturally to you anyhow, you’ll find that we’re a little more open to different feelings and ideas now. An instinctive need for change is with you today, from the inside out. Outworn attitudes have to go, and circumstances now make you especially aware of this fact. You might decide to take action now on recent revelations. You might enjoy progress in a friendship, group endeavor, or community project.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

You might receive special attention today, dear Scorpio, particularly in a professional sense, and this may be about an innovative idea or method that you’ve employed recently. Today brings just enough emotional detachment that you can move past limitations and to break free from dwelling on certain issues from the past. For you, this relates mainly to a partnership, practical matters, and health. New developments in your career path or a work project can emerge, and they spell progress. Pleasant surprises are likely now. There can be a spirit of openness with co-workers or associates. This is a fine time to think about getting rid of unhealthy habits. You might put recent breakthrough ideas about work and health into motion now or experience increased motivation to work hard towards a long-term goal.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

You can feel quite inspired today, dear Sagittarius. An open, progressive attitude might lead to doors opening for new experiences involving travel or romance, or artistic and creative pursuits. If you’re feeling a little bit of fear about expressing your creative side, push yourself just a little to get yourself going. The motivation to reinvent yourself runs high. You might thoroughly enjoy connecting with people through different beliefs and opinions, or through new personal interests. You are in the mood to learn or teach or to gain a little more life experience. You might get the chance to put your talents to use, or even to show them off a little.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

This is unlikely to be an ordinary or routine day, dear Capricorn, particularly with family and around the home. You might become inspired to redecorate or switch things up, you could receive unexpected visitors, or a surprising discovery can be made with someone close to you. It’s also a good time for talking rationally and easily about personal matters. Problem-solving about emotional issues is improved. A Uranus influence allows for the ability to detach yourself from a problem just enough to come up with innovative solutions. This is a good time for experimenting with approaches to others and ways to express your feelings. For some of you, there can be satisfying progress on a family or home-related matter now.

Aquarius

Aquarius

Today and tomorrow, you’re likely to seek out extra stimulation, and find it, dear Aquarius. Conversations can be at the very least interesting and likely very helpful. Your charm runs high now, and you might also be especially intrigued by what you hear. Negotiations tend to work out well now. Partnering up can help you solve a problem. A partnership or a communications project can enjoy progress. Opportunities to enhance or attract a partnership are available to you today, and part of this has to do with your willingness to approach matters with openness and honesty. You’re likely to open the airways and encourage others to do so as well.

Pisces

Pisces

Unusual and exciting elements on the job or in your daily routine can be in focus today, dear Pisces, and they may very well make you shine. Look for new ways of approaching your work or services, making or handling money, and improving health. Problem solving comes very easily to you today as you look at practical matters in a new light. Your eye is on progress. A solution can come to you seemingly out of the blue, but it’s probably been with you on some level in the past – you simply weren’t tuned in, and now you are. Practical matters can thrive. It’s a good day for researching health programs or regimes. Alternatives can be introduced now that lead you to rethink old problems and concerns.
