Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

The Devil

The Devil is the more perplexing cards one can draw in a reading. 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.

Tarot Card of the Day for October 27th is Five of Swords

Tarot Card of the Day

Five of Swords

October 27th, 2017

Traditionally, the Five of this suit references the grim and sobering process of cleaning up the battlefield after a conflict. The war as a whole has not been won or lost yet, but in this skirmish there were grievous casualties. This card admonishes the loser to study carefully what went wrong, so that a new strategy can be devised and more setbacks forestalled. There is a need to regroup and rethink the game plan, discover your blind spots and weak links, and take corrective measures before getting back into the field for another round.

In these modern times, when the battle is more often being waged with words, laws and contracts instead of weapons, we have even more reason to examine our approach, our style, strengths and weaknesses. If we have underdeveloped communication skills or lose our objectivity in tense moments, our ability to reach our goals and dreams will decline. But, if we avoid letting ourselves be haunted by the misfortunes and detours that inevitably befall us, we will go on to achieve those goals. Do not obsess. Try to learn something.

Your Horoscopes for Saturday, October 28th

By Rick Levine

General Horoscope

Paying attention to the magic of creativity allows us to transform a difficult situation into one of grace. An evolutionary Sun-Pluto alignment fuels psychological and spiritual metamorphoses, offering us opportunities to turn our caterpillar-like nature into the beauty of a butterfly. Meanwhile, a dreamy Venus-Neptune connection amplifies the power of imagination while the futuristic Aquarius Moon strengthens our resolve to manifest our dreams.

Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19

Hanging out with your friends is less of a social activity today than a chance to reflect on your dreams and the steps you need to follow to make them come true. The Moon’s visit to your 11th House of Long-Term Goals shifts the emphasis from the here and now to a vague point far off into the future. However, you might be surprised to discover that talking about your vision is challenging because it’s so indefinite. Nevertheless, keep trying; each time around the nondescript images become more describable. Thoreau wrote, “The world is but a canvas to the imagination.”

Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20

Revealing your innermost feelings to someone you trust sounds harmless, but people don’t seem to understand your true intentions now. They might think you’re operating with a specific agenda, but your only purpose is to deepen a friendship by revealing your vulnerable side. Observe how the other person reacts and take your cues from their behavior, especially if there is a sudden chill in the air. But don’t spend too much time worrying about the stability of your relationship today, since you’re both likely to reconnect later with more admiration and respect than before.

Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20

You would do anything to extract yourself from the middle of an intense situation now. Although you don’t think this drama belongs to you, somehow you seem to be at the center of the emotional storm today. Try not to make any sudden moves; just back away from the turmoil. If the unsettled energy follows you on your retreat, you might have more ownership of the stress than you thought. Don’t play the victim of circumstances you helped to create.

Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22

You’re unhappy if you feel isolated from your closest friends and family. Although all the same people might be easily accessible, there seems to be an invisible wall that’s separating you from those you love today. Unfortunately, your alienation and frustration will continue to grow as long as you rely only on words to bridge the gap. Stop talking about your feelings and perform intentional acts of kindness instead. A meaningful gesture touches the hearts of others more than you know.

Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22

Although relationships are back on the front burner, you’re not necessarily seeking to dive into emotional intimacy today. In fact, your ideal interaction is based upon sharing an idea or an activity now, rather than your feelings. You like the easy expression of emotionally detached companionship that allows you to operate free of unspoken expectations. Author Steve Maraboli wrote, “Friends are medicine for a wounded heart, and vitamins for a hopeful soul.”

Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22

You could be so particular about the information you receive today that you need to verify every single fact. You take nothing at face value until it’s been checked out three times over. Others might think you are acting bizarrely — and you are. Nevertheless, you have your reasons now; you don’t want to be fooled or to look like a fool. Thankfully, your careful analysis won’t lead you astray. Actor Leonard Nimoy said, “Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.”

Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22

Expressing your needs is effortless today, which could create a unique set of problems. Your desires don’t necessarily conform to everyone else’s sense of normalcy, and discussing your divergent values can lead to an impasse. You know exactly what’s negotiable and what’s not. However, people see you as more ambivalent than you actually are now. There’s no need to feed into their assumptions. Although you think your honesty might upset someone, speak your truth and let the chips fall as they may.

Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21

Your no-nonsense attitude can be so intimidating that you could unintentionally scare someone away today. However, your words may not accurately convey your true feelings, leaving others to fill in the blanks with their fears or insecurities. You might be empowered when you notice the current dynamics, but trying to capitalize on your dominant position is beneath your integrity. Instead, level the playing field by softening your approach. Adopting a gentler disposition fosters a more collaborative atmosphere.

Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21

You stop to talk with everyone you encounter today, but you might not say anything important. In fact, you could fill up any silence with rambling thoughts about unusual people, places and things. But your current penchant for the weirdest facts and figures is only a distraction from the main event, which you are keeping to yourself. Unfortunately, your protectionist strategy may not be useful in the long run. Take a risk and open your heart now, since vulnerability is the only path to intimacy.

Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19

You are almost always striving to better your position at home or in the community. Normally, your need to honor social conventions drives your behavior, but today you’re looking to break some rules to separate yourself from the crowd. Before you commit to a radical course of action just to garner some fast fame and fortune, consider the repercussions of your personal rebellion. Ezra Taft Benson wrote, “You are free to choose, but you

Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18

You feel as if the cosmos has given you a free license to express any and all of your moods today, no matter where it leads. Nevertheless, the Moon’s visit to your non-conformist sign can incite you to intentionally shock someone with your revelations. Unfortunately, you could complicate your life when there’s really no reason to alienate your best supporters. Just because you experience a particular emotion now doesn’t mean you must share it with your peeps. Sometimes it’s wise to heed Thumper’s advice and remain silent unless you have something nice to say.

Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20

Your spiritual journey lures you into the shadows today, inviting you to find the hidden beauty. But you’re unwilling to follow in someone else’s footsteps; you’re on a path that’s yours alone. Although you feel like a metaphysical adventurer, you wish you didn’t have to blaze a trail now just to reach your current destination. Nevertheless, you’re devoted to discovering the truth for yourself, whatever it takes. Goethe wrote, “Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.”

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.

Your concern for your future this year is stronger than usual, and you may find that projects you start, or investments you make, this year will benefit you for years to come. The key to success this year is adopting a realistic, practical, disciplined, and orderly approach to your life.

You have a larger than usual desire to improve and learn this year. Optimism and confidence are with you, and you are able to attract fortunate circumstances into your life as a result. Problems are easier to resolve. Your broader perspective on matters keeps you from getting lost in details or overly frustrated by everyday stresses and strains.

There may be a project, idea, or person that demands much of your attention or occupies much of your thoughts. It’s a fortunate year for any project or studies that require concentrated effort. You are especially resourceful.

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 year in which you put your life in order in some significant manner. Improved concentration, a more realistic outlook, and a practical awareness of the limits of time all help you to make steady progress, particularly in your career.

Even so, intuition runs exceptionally high this year. 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.

Passions, feelings of jealousy, and possessiveness may be things you experience in others or yourself this year. You might also experience compulsive attractions and attachments, or attraction to complicated love relationships. Something tiny can trigger all sorts of buried emotions, and this can be very revealing! There can be some tension over your personal finances, and/or need to make a large payment that necessitates changes in your spending habits, but you also benefit from the new lifestyle or purchase.

There can be helpful interactions with superiors or with older or more experienced people during this period, and benefits can come as a result. There can be a choice to structure, limit, or simplify your life in a significant way that leads to major improvements in your life.

This is an excellent period for getting organized. You’re in better shape than usual for staying on track and meeting your responsibilities. You are taking your social or romantic life more seriously this year and there can be some ups and downs as you make important changes. Useful contacts can be made during this period.

2017 is a Number Two year for you. Ruled by the Moon. This is a year of potential companionship. It is a quiet, gentle, and mostly harmonious year that is generally not as active than other years. Instead, you are more responsive to the needs of others. If you are patient and open yourself up in a gentle manner, you will attract what–and who–you want into your life now. This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future. Advice – be patient, be receptive, enjoy the peace, collect, develop, build, and attract.

2018 will be a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time when you find it natural and easy to enjoy life and other people. The focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure than you are in other years. It’s likely to be a rather lighthearted year when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a favorable year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out and connect but avoid scattering your energies.
