Learn The Tarot: The Hierophant

THIS TAROT CARD WANTS YOU TO FOLLOW THE PATH

  • JAMIE RICHARDSON

tarot-cards-major.-arcana-hierophant

In this series, Jamie Richardson of Ember + Aura Tarot explains how to embrace the message of each major arcana card. 

 

The Hierophant is an unwavering symbol of convention, conformity, and tradition. Often depicted as a masculine figure, he holds the key to wisdom and thus, enlightenment—if we’re willing to adopt his particular set of rules and follow his lead. The Hierophant plays the role of priest and offers his devotees access to divinity through the setting aside of their own personal agendas and strict adherence to a particular doctrine. He is the face of organized religion and cherished institutions. Wherever there is a uniform group mentality that respects time-honored customs and codes, you will find The Hierophant.

The Hierophant is the counterpart to The High Priestess. What The High Priestess intuitively feels in the dark of the moonlit soul and understands by relying on her inner sight, the Hierophant recognizes as absolute truth because established systems and set practices have deemed it so. The way of the Hierophant is structured and specific. He teaches that there is a particular way of doing things, a way that has always worked in the past and will continue to do so forever.

For those of us who have spent many years learning to trust our own instincts, follow our own path, and listen to our inner voice, The Hierophant can be very triggering. In his most negative light, he denies that anyone can claim a personal avenue to enlightenment. He leaves no room for individual navigation of the soul. He insists that the only way to reach the divine is by being funneled into a collective mentality and obeying the rules within a system. Obviously, this is an outdated method for reaching our highest self and we would do well to shed this projected mindset.

Now, let’s take a look at how The Hierophant can work for us in a more positive, inspiring way. As I was creating my tarot deck, the subject of this card was particularly challenging to me. I was tired of surrendering my power to outside sources; I didn’t believe someone else possessed the key to ultimate truth. How could I choose an image for my Hierophant card that evoked my own trust and respect? I had to ask myself who my ideal Hierophant was and settled on the figure of a guide (embodied here as the Christ.) As an authentic leader, the Hierophant brings the concepts and ideas of truth into the light of collective consciousness. Ideally, he gently points the way towards transcendent bliss and encourages his apostles to purify themselves through consistent practice and discipline in order to ascend. His goals require surrender and self-denial. This basically translates to renouncing the ego and continually pouring oneself out onto the altar of symbolic death and renewal. Through this sacrifice of self, we ultimately reach new heights as we learn to embrace a greater good that goes beyond ourselves.

When The Hierophant shows up in a reading, you are being called into some sort of Initiation. Either you are being asked to undergo a new path of learning, or you are being called to become a teacher or guide for others. Let the implications of both of these possibilities sink in. Make room for new ideas and opportunities to reveal themselves to you. Take comfort in the fact that you don’t have to have all the right answers. Rather, many masters have gone before you, paving the way, and are more than willing to help you shoulder the burden of being “right” all the time. More than likely, you will soon find yourself surrounded by like-minded individuals on a similar path to your own, who share many of your spiritual values.

When you begin to see yourself as a part of a whole, rather than a separate identity, The Hierophant is working his magic in your life. His essence is that of a wise and patient guide who sees you as a promising student. Don’t be surprised if you experience profound shifts in your priorities, have strong urges to write and speak your truth, and find yourself stepping outside of your comfort zone. Explore the possibility of accepting a path of conventionality, one that has withstood the test of time, and learn the lesson it has to offer. The Hierophant is an intelligent energy and one that must be absorbed in order to achieve inner harmony.

The Secret Tarot Superpower Cards

Aries March 21 – April 19: The Hanged Man 12

The 12th Major Arcana shows that you have the capacity to view any situation from a different perspective if you simply pause and feel what your inner guidance is telling you. You might, initially want to rush into battle or act impulsively, but if you give it a little time, you may find the answer to any problem is right in front of you. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Stop.

Taurus April 20 – May 20: The Empress 3

Very fitting for you, Taurus. The Empress reflects your idea that to flourish is to live well, and to live well is to flourish. When times are tough, remember the Empress within. She reassures you it is not the outer accoutrements of life that make you who you are, but the abundance in your heart that counts. Give freely of your time and love. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Generous.

Gemini May 21 – June 20: The Tower 16

Often a scary card for many. Yet for you Gemini, throwing things up in the air to see how they land is part of who you are. And don’t let anyone stop you. Sometimes, you have to live for you, despite pressure from others to do what they think you should. Shake it up. But, remember, it’s always a good idea to have a Plan B lined up in case things go wrong. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Disruption.

Cancer June 21 – July 22: Judgment 20

Always follow your heart. Messages from above, from within, from wherever, are all filtered through your sensitive psyche. Loud and clear. It’s when you go against the inner message that things begin to go awry. You always know what to do if you pay attention to the calling. And, know that forgiveness is balm for your own soul. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Listen

Leo July 23 – August 22: The Emperor 4

Perfect for you Leo. Take that charisma and turn it into a force to be reckoned with. Like the Emperor, you are a natural leader. You are able to create structure and order from chaos. Call on this essential ability whenever things seem to be on the verge of imploding. Take charge and lead by example. Build your future with determination. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Order.

Virgo August 23 – September 22: Strength 8

When times get a little edgy, a little uncertain, place faith in your own inner strength. Tell yourself, in no uncertain terms, you’ve got through situations before and you will do so again. Know that tough times are always temporary obstacles. You can overcome them, defeat them, or avoid them by using your animal instinct. Just know it. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Conviction.

Libra September 23 – October 22: Temperance 14

How cool is the tarot? Temperance merely underlines what you already know to be true. That life is better when all things work together. When your inner self is in balance, harmony, and alignment with your external actions. You are a master alchemist when it comes to living true to yourself. You can show the world how to embrace peace. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Unify.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21: The Star 17

Reach inside your heart for the love that resides there, Scorpio. The energy of the Star is your reward. Full of hope and faith it reminds you not to let others affect your vibration and energy. You are your own person. Trust in your innate wisdom. And, while it is in your nature to sacrifice your time for others, you do not have to give up on yourself. Rise above the mundane irritations. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Transcend.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21: The Sun 18

The fire within burns ever bright. The Sun is a metaphor for your indomitable spirit. Knock you down and you get right back up, none the worse. This ability is yours forever and never forget it. Doesn’t matter who hurts you, or what pain you suffer, your inner sunshine is always present within. And people will bask in the glow of your light. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Intrepid.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19: The Wheel of Fortune 10

Somewhere within your stoical, practical self, there is a part of you who is a gambler, Capricorn. Who, with a little self-persuasion, is willing to take a risk. To get outside of that comfort zone you have spent so much effort constructing for yourself. Spin the wheel now and then. Embrace the unknown with grace and optimism. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Chance.

 

Aquarius January 20 – February 18: The World 21

Every time you question or doubt yourself, know that at any moment in time, you are exactly in the right place. Sometimes you’ll be making progress and sometimes you will feel frustrated at being held back. It doesn’t matter; you are fine. Just go with your instinct and take those opportunities. You are traveling the cycle of life with dexterity and aplomb. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Acceptance.

 

Pisces February 19 – March 20: The Magician 1

You always manage to overcome your limitations, Pisces. It might be under your own steam, it might be with the help of others, or it might be that the problem miraculously dissolves of its own accord. You don’t know it, but you have the power of the magician at your elbow to help you create the life of your dreams. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Belief.

 

We hope you enjoyed our tarot superpower tarotscope, and that you keep your special card close to your heart.

The Daily Tarot Card for May 14 is King of Wands

Tarot Card of the Day

King of Wands

35

This suit, most often called “Wands” and sometimes called “Rods” or “Staves,” represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.

Traditionally representing the energy of a dynamic King, this card represents the classic conquering hero. He’s a charismatic leader, entrepreneurial and ambitious, always creating new adventures. He does this because he doesn’t like to stay home or to have to “mind the store” — he gets to feeling restless and bored with the predictable. If you need a crusader, or someone to take on a big challenge, he’s your man. He needs a big assignment, and would rather lead than follow.

It could be said that he has a bit of an ego, as evidenced in his enjoyment of flattery and praise. A bit of a performer, he overachieves in situations where it will be noticed, but in private he wants to be served and adored like the head lion of a pride. A benevolent dictator, he makes life wonderful for those he loves and just the opposite for those who displease him.

All About The Taurus Personality

Element: Earth

Quality: Fixed

Color: Green, Pink

Day: Friday, Monday

Ruler: Venus

Greatest Overall Compatibility: Scorpio, Cancer

Lucky Numbers: 2, 6, 9, 12, 24

Date range: April 20 – May 20

TAURUS TRAITS

Strengths: Reliable, patient, practical, devoted, responsible, stable

Weaknesses: Stubborn, possessive, uncompromising

Taurus likes: Gardening, cooking, music, romance, high quality clothes, working with hands

Taurus dislikes: Sudden changes, complications, insecurity of any kind, synthetic fabrics

Practical and well-grounded, Taurus is the sign that harvests the fruits of labor. They feel the need to always be surrounded by love and beauty, turned to the material world, hedonism, and physical pleasures. People born with their Sun in Taurus are sensual and tactile, considering touch and taste the most important of all senses. Stable and conservative, this is one of the most reliable signs of the zodiac, ready to endure and stick to their choices until they reach the point of personal satisfaction.

Taurus is an Earth sign, just like Virgo and Capricorn, and has the ability to see things from a grounded, practical and realistic perspective. They find it easy to make money and stay on same projects for years, or until they are completed. What we often see as stubbornness can be interpreted as commitment, and their ability to complete tasks whatever it takes is uncanny. This makes them excellent employees, great long-term friends and partners, always being there for people they love. Earthly note makes them overprotective, conservative, or materialistic at times, with views of the world founded on their love of money and wealth.

The ruler of Taurus is Venus, the planet of love, attraction, beauty, satisfaction, creativity and gratitude. This tender nature will make Taurus an excellent cook, gardener, lover, and artist. They are loyal and don’t like sudden changes, criticism or the chase of guilt people are often prone to, being somewhat dependable on other people and emotions they seem to be unable to let go of. Still, no matter their potential emotional challenge, these individuals have the ability to bring a practical voice of reason in any chaotic and unhealthy situation.

Taurus – the Wandering Bull Being the one who betrayed their best friend, goddess Hera herself, this is an unfortunate being that has to wander the Earth in order to find freedom. As if something was always poking them behind their back, reminding them of happiness that once was, stinging and pushing forwards, they close up in their own worlds, lonely and separated from their core. To find love, a Taurus has to travel the world, change perspective or make a shift in their entire belief system and their system of values.

TAURUS LOVE AND SEX

One always has to be prepared to have patience for a Taurus lover. They are extremely sensual, touch, smell and all pleasurable senses being extremely important to them, but they also need time to create a safe environment and relax in their sexual encounters. When they create enough intimacy with a loved one, they become a bit gooey, sometimes even needy, and have to keep their emotions in check, holding on to practical reasoning, while embracing change and initiative of their partner at all times.

For long-term relationships they often choose people from the same social environment that are able to respond to their intellectual needs, but also the expectations of their family and close friends. Holding on to traditional values and the practical side to life, this is a sign that rarely chooses a partner who won’t fulfill basic expectations of their upbringing, often showing and receiving attention through gifts and material things. If they stick to the moral code too stiffly and refuse all taboos and adventurous approaches, they could end up swimming in frustration and anger issues they don’t know how to resolve, often manifesting through the person standing in front of them. Taurus compatibility with other signs can be complicated.

This is a sign of physical pleasure, hedonism and the flow of emotion that isn’t reserved for just anyone. Select the match in the widget bellow to discover who makes their heart jump:

TAURUS FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Friends – People born in this sign are loyal and always willing to lend a hand of friendship, although they can be closed up for the outer world before they build trust for new social contacts they make. Many of their friendships begin in childhood with a tendency to last them a lifetime. Once they make a clear intimate connection to another person, they will do anything they can to nurture the relationship and make it functional even in the hard times.

Family – Home and matters of the family are very important to every Taurus. This is a person who loves kids and appreciates time spent with people who love them, respecting family routines, customs, and present in all events and gatherings. They will enjoy hosting house parties for both their family and friends, and don’t mind cooking a meal for a room full of people if they just have fun in return.

TAURUS CAREER AND MONEY

Taurus representatives usually love money and will work hard in order to earn it. They are reliable, hardworking, patient and thorough, as an employee or someone in a position of power. When focused on a specific project, they will firmly stick to it, no matter what happens in the world around them. Stability is the key to understand their working routine. The search for material pleasures and rewards is an actual need to build their own sense of value and achieve a satisfying luxurious, yet practical way of life. Their job is observed as a means to make it possible.

Taurus is a Sun sign well organized with their finances, and all of their bills will be paid without delay. They care for their pension, taking responsibility and saving some money for a rainy day, able to make due with a really small and a really big salary just the same. Occupations that fit them are agriculture, banking, art, and anything that involves culinary skills.

HOW TO ATTRACT THE TAURUS MAN

If you are in search for a strong, loyal and generous man, Taurus is the person you are looking for. He is trustworthy, patient and tender when in love, always in search for a returned emotion. He will not pick on subtle hinds and suggestive looks from those who flirt with him, being a bit slow on the uptake as if waiting for someone to ask them out. He dislikes artificiality of any kind, and values conversations filled with genuine statements, especially when it comes to compliments and love declarations.

A Taurus man needs time to build trust and anyone on a chase for his heart needs to take the time earning it. As a person of very few words, he will seem impossible to penetrate at times, as if nothing can touch him. An invitation for a delicious home-cooked mean is always a safe bet when dating this man, as well as choosing a place that is comfortable and cozy, rather than popular or modern. Turned to nature and common thinking, he will see sex as something that comes when the time is right, rarely puts any pressure on his partner and feels like it is something to be enjoyed, not so much something to crave for. A part of his fixed, static character is the potential inability to forgive betrayal, and he needs to feel truly safe to settle down with one partner for good.

HOW TO ATTRACT THE TAURUS WOMAN

If you want to seduce a woman born with her Sun in Taurus, you will need to appeal to her sense of romance. Taurus women want to be courted and slowly seduced, even when they have already decided to enter a relationship with someone. They need things to move slowly, and will rarely jump into a sexual bond quickly and without thinking long and hard about her choices.

A Taurus woman longs for true love and security. It is very unlikely that she will give into her desires and instincts quickly, and if someone wishes to have her heart, they will have to spend a lot of time and energy into the game of winning her over, making her feel comfortable. Once she falls in love she becomes affectionate, intimate, close and loyal, standing by her partner for as long as he is faithful to her. She has an eye for beautiful things and appreciates simplicity of fine things in life, so the way to approach her is through enjoyable shared moments, respect for privacy, fine food and a gentle touch. This is a woman who doesn’t like to feel rushed when dating and needs to have her time. Once she feels comfortable and secure with someone, she will happily and quickly give her heart without holding back.

About The Full Moon 18 May 2019 – Sacrifice and Offering

The full moon on Saturday May 18, 2019 at 27° Scorpio is opposite Mercury. This means self-centered and overly rational thinking could lead to disagreements and prejudice. The Sun with planet Sedna and the notorious star Algol bring painful memories or pending loss associated with illness, violence or natural disaster.

The Moon in the Constellation of Lupus the Wolf makes aggression and victimization major themes for full moon May 2019. However, helpful aspects to Pluto allow for greater understanding and positive transformations through sacrifice and offering.

Full Moon Meaning

A full moon occurs when the Sun is opposite the Moon. This highlights opposing forces or polarities in your life such as your work versus home, or what you need versus what you want. Inner tension and external pressures can lead to personal conflict and crises that drain your energy. Your home, family and intimate relationships comes into sharper focus following a full moon.

The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts reach their peak at a full moon. Use you increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an impartial and balanced look at your personal relationships. You will clearly see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.

Full Moon May 2019 Astrology

The May 18 full moon at 27°36′ Scorpio makes aspects to Mercury, Pluto and minor planet Sedan as shown below. The Sun and Mercury join two important fixed stars in Constellation Perseus, but the Moon joins only minor stars in Constellations Libra and Lupus.

 

Full Moon Aspects

Full Moon opposite Mercury makes it harder to share your feelings because of scrambled or polarized thinking. The Sun with Mercury means your thinking may become selfish or overly rational, lacking in empathy. Arguments can result from misunderstandings or emotional biases such as tribalism, patriotism or racism.

Sensitive discussion topics and negotiations will likely be problematic. But this is a good full moon for spending time in reflection, or chatting with a mentor about some of your feelings which might be holding you back.

Full Moon sextile Pluto is not a strong aspect at over 4 degrees but Mercury trine Pluto (1°23′) is. So Pluto has an important and positive influence on this full moon. It helps you focus and understand things at a deeper level. It helps you get in touch with your feelings, especially your deeply buried emotions.

More intense personal interactions will show exactly how you feel about someone and how they feel about you. Relationship will evolve to a deeper level or you will be free to move on. Like a psychologist you can deeply probe under the surface to solve mysteries or investigate crimes and secrets.

Full moon opposite minor planet Sedna suggests the rationalizations and difficulty in communicating emotionally may have something to do with deeply buried memories of cataclysmic events like floods and tsunamis. Sedna seems to be associated with climate change, especially as it relates to the oceans and extreme weather events.

 

Full Moon Fixed Stars

Full Moon May 2019 falls within the ecliptic Constellation of Libra as shown in the image above. Where there is an imbalance, the Scales find a state of equilibrium by punishing hate and rewarding love. A full moon in Libra Constellation is also symbolic of those things that we find most difficult to come to terms with, especially about ourselves and our past, both individually and collectively.

The full moon also aligns with some minor stars within Lupus the Wolf or the Victim, symbolic of sacrifice and offering. Lupus Constellation gives an acquisitive, grasping, aggressive, prudent and treacherous nature, with a keen desire for knowledge, and strong ill-regulated passions. [1]

WITH VENUS SEXTILE MARS, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

DONNA STELLHORN

From May 15–18, we have a happy connection between Venus and Mars: Venus enters Taurus and Mars enters Cancer and, for a brief time, they are close enough to form a sextile. A sextile (60 degrees apart) brings opportunities for manifestation. You don’t have to have planets in Taurus or Cancer to access and use this positive energy, but there are a few things you do need to know—and do.

Venus is the planet of love and prosperity, named after the goddess Venus (Aphrodite in the Greek pantheon). One of her consorts was Mars (or Ares in the Greek) the god of action and war. Venus is the female archetype while Mars is the male archetype, and from this union, romantic and sexual love were born. And when these two planets line up in the sky, more than love is possible—there is also the potential financial opportunities (Venus was a wealthy goddess) and manifestation.

HOW DOES THIS ENERGY AFFECT THE WORLD?

Over the course of the year, Venus and Mars engage in a dance. Sometimes movement is difficult or clumsy, and someone’s toes might end up getting smashed. But from May 15–18, Venus and Mars swirl around in an elegant waltz. During this time, you will read and hear of deals being struck, agreements reached, and compromises. Politicians try to work together and opposing sides call a short truce. Movie and television personalities talk of love affairs and marriage. Businesses post large earnings and celebrate successes.

HOW DOES THIS ENERGY AFFECT INDIVIDUALS?

This energy can help you manifest your goals. It can give you a boost when you’re sending your wishes out to the universe. It can put you in the right place at the right time. The trouble with positive energy in a busy world is it can be overlooked. Most people will let this positive period pass them by because they’re not paying attention; it will just be a few pleasant days. But for a spiritually attuned person, this is energy you can use.

List these dates in your calendar, perhaps accompanied by a gold star. During this period, you’ll want to take action on your goals: Venus is the goal and Mars is the action. This is a good time to upload your profile to a dating site; it’s a good time to check out some social groups in your area; this is the right time to pop the question to your beloved, or at least broach the subject of living together. Consider putting your creative ideas out in the world—audition, pitch, or try your skills at an open mic night. Consider using this energy to ask for a raise or, if you work for yourself, to raise your rates.

HARNESS THIS ENERGY FOR A LITTLE MAGIC.

For love:

If love is your goal and you are looking for a relationship, take a small piece of paper and draw the symbol of Venus in the upper left-hand corner. In the lower right-hand corner, draw the symbol of Mars. In the center of the page write three things that need to happen for you to manifest what you want. This may be something like:

  1. MEET SOME NEW PEOPLE.
  2. GO ON A DATE WITH ONE THAT I LIKE.
  3. AGREE TO GO OUT WITH THIS PERSON EXCLUSIVELY.

Fold the paper diagonally so that the symbol of Venus and the symbol of Mars touch. Then keep folding until you can’t fold the paper anymore. Carry it with you in your wallet or purse during the three day Venus sextile Mars period.

For money:

If you’re looking for money. Draw the symbol of Venus in the lower left-hand corner and the symbol of Mars in the upper right-hand corner. Now, in the center, write three things that are within your power to do to manifest what you want. If you wanted a new job you might list:

  1. UPDATE MY RESUME.
  2. POST MY RESUME.
  3. FOLLOW UP ON RESPONSES AND TAKE INTERVIEWS.

Fold the paper diagonally so that the symbol of Venus touches the symbol of Mars. Then keep folding until you can’t fold it anymore. Carry it with you during this period

I would ask that you please not stoke Eleanor’s fire and let’s get on with Today’s Posts

The Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 14th

Research projects and investigative work are empowered in the early hours—courtesy of a new grand triangle in earth signs formed by the moon in Virgo trine to Pluto in Capricorn (12:13 a.m.) and the sun in Taurus (12:31 a.m.). Romantic overtures receive the thumbs-up sign as Venus in Aries makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Mars in Gemini (6:59 a.m.).

A short void-of-course lunar cycle — beginning at 10:20 a.m. and ending at 11:52 a.m. when the moon enters airy Libra—puts the kibosh on pursuing any bold objectives during that 1 hour time-span. Once the moon is safely in Libra air space, focus your attention on exploring the fine or graphic arts while improving the quality of your primary partnerships.

[Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

It is Tuesday, May 14th, Blessings To All Who Gather Here This Morning!

Wiccan Priestess

Song Of The White Witch Of The Gospel

Shatter my misconceptions, Oh God, the Father,
Creator of all that is moving through me,
Empty me of illusions that comfort,
So, the truth I may surely see.

And, I will transcend my limitations,
Build bridges of light to fill the gaps,
Share the love I have here deep inside me,
Walk across uncharted paths.

Transform the sorrow of unfulfillment,
By illuminating the untouched choice,
Empower the forgotten shadowed memory,
Electrify my silent voice.

And, I will transcend my limitations,
Build bridges of light to fill the gaps,
Share the love I have here deep inside me,
Walk across uncharted paths.

Connect me to Earth’s bounteous Mother,
So, each other, in balance, shall we heal,
Transmute my intent into your wisest crystals,
That this work my soul reveal.

And, I will transcend my limitations,
Build bridges of light to fill the gaps,
Share the love I have here deep inside me,
Walk across uncharted paths.

Remember me when I cross over,
I have lived my life as you, too, have done,
Return me to that precious place,
No longer separated, for we all indeed are one.

For, I have transcended my limitations,
Built bridges of light to fill the gaps,
Shared the love I had here deep inside me,
Walked across uncharted paths.

Tarot Card of the Day for May 13 is Knight of Swords

Tarot Card of the Day

Knight of Swords

61

 

This card is traditionally entitled The Knight, but in some modern decks appears as The Prince. Traditionally, this card portrays the restless mind, aroused by thoughts of offense and defense, storming around searching for a target to pounce on. He often feels slighted, has a chip on his shoulder and bristles with a hostile attitude. His usual method is to look for someone to blame for his irritation.

Furthermore, in an attitude of righteousness, he may assign himself the job of correcting the offender. Jumping easily to conclusions, he shoots first, asks questions later and is therefore often guilty of overkill. This is not to say that he does not have his heroic side; a single-minded combativeness can have its value. However, even when he is doing the right thing, he is likely to be doing it for the wrong reasons. Apt advice for this card is to deeply question your motives for what you are thinking about doing. Forethought will assist you in discriminating between righteous and unrighteous causes. Control any traces of impulsive judgement!

Occasionally you will notice in the detail on the card, that the person can be a woman rather than the expected man. There is some evidence that the tradition of knighthood included a certain number of “anonymous knights” who took mythic names and veiled their true identities. Living on the road with few or no servants, they served as freelance defenders of travelers, champions of the little people against the exploitation of both highway robbers and the wealthy classes. Odds are that some of these knights-errant were camouflaged women, and that idea is preserved with the traditional representation of the Sword Knight.

Aries Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: 9 of Cups

Receiving the 9 of Cups could signal that this is the week when your stars will finally begin to align. When this card appears in a reading, it is a signal from the universe that everything in your life is as it should be. This dose of fortunate energy could mean feeling perfectly content in your job, your relationship, your friendships — your emotional cup could truly runneth over! Take the time to stop and appreciate the abundance of blessings life is offering you right now.

Taurus Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: Queen of Cups

The Queen of Cups indicates emotional maturity, compassion, and a nurturing spirit. This week you are being called to express this energy in some way. Perhaps a friend approaches you with relationship troubles, or it could be that a colleague is coming to you for support with a problem they’re facing. When this happens, listen from the heart as they speak but remain emotionally separated from the issue. While it may be tempting to dive head-first into the situation with them, understand that only they can work themselves out of their predicament.

Gemini Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: Page of Cups

Keep an open heart and an open mind this week! The Page of Cups is urging you to go back to the time in your life when you were more childlike, more fearless, more idealistic. It could be that past or recent circumstances have made you more cynical and closed off as a way to shield yourself from getting hurt. While this approach can certainly help you avoid more pain, it may also prevent you from experiencing life’s pleasures. Don’t let your past dictate your future in this way. Learn to trust again.

Cancer Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: 2 of Swords

The 2 of Swords indicates you could be experiencing a bout of indecision at this time. In fact, you may be so unsure of how to proceed that you’ve actively been putting off facing this matter. This week you’re being reminded that no matter how much you try to avoid this situation, it won’t simply go away. Instead of focusing on the consequences of making the wrong decision, consider what might happen if you don’t make a decision at all. Inaction can often lead to greater issues down the road.

Leo Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: 6 of Swords

This could be the week you finally release something that has been hanging over you for far too long. The 6 of Swords serves as a reminder that, although it may be difficult, sometimes we have no choice but to move on from a challenging situation. What have you been holding onto that has prevented you from creating a brighter future for yourself? Now is the time to let this go once and for all. This won’t be an easy task, but ultimately, it is the right thing to do.

Virgo Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: The Star

You can breathe a little bit easier, because relief has arrived this week! The Star is signaling a reprieve after a period of great change or difficulty. While this turmoil has not been easy for you to go through, you have been able to endure whatever challenges life has thrown your way. What lessons have you learned? What were you able to let go of that was holding you back? How will you move forward differently? Now is the time to shed the old you, so you can emerge as the person you were meant to be.

Libra Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: Knight of Swords

There may be no stopping you this week … but is that a good thing? The Knight of Swords is a card cautioning against ambition at all costs. Yes, it’s good to have dogged ambition, but only when you’ve considered all the challenges and consequences first. Before making your move, examine all the variables. What will you gain? What could you lose? Will you be neglecting those around you in pursuit of your goals? Understanding the fine line between determination and obsession could prevent you from potential headaches down the road.

Scorpio Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: The Hierophant

You could find yourself committed to a new cause this week! The Hierophant is a card that represents belief systems, traditions, and institutions. You may have been feeling lost, aimless, and in need of direction. If you’ve been considering joining a new group, now is the time! Being surrounded by people of a similar mindset could offer you the type of community and support you’ve been missing. So, go ahead and attend a book club, volunteer to work at a soup kitchen, or join other outdoor enthusiasts on a hike. You might just find what you’ve been missing.

Sagittarius Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: Judgment

You could be on the verge of a decision that will have a long-lasting impact! You’ve been at this crossroads for a while, unsure of which path to go down. The Judgment card knows the best choices comes from the perfect blending of head and heart. This means you should not only look to your past for tangible lessons you’ve learned, but you must also connect with your inner self and listen to what your intuition is trying to tell you. This is the week to make your decision — and you already have everything you need to do so.

Capricorn Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: Ace of Wands

If you’ve been waiting for a sign from the universe about something, this is it! The Ace of Wands represents a new beginning and all the potential that comes with this new venture. This week you are being encouraged to pursue that new path or project you’ve felt passionately about but haven’t acted on yet. Use this time to take your first steps toward manifesting this goal. There’s no need to make huge leaps forward — even a small step forward is still a step toward your goal.

Aquarius Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: Ace of Pentacles

The Ace of Pentacles is signaling that an abundance of new opportunities in your material world are emerging for you this week. Have you been feeling stalled in your career? Has an investment not paid off the way you thought it would? Have you been unable to make money from an idea you had? That could all change now! Keep your eyes and ears peeled as a new beginning in any of these areas could be just around the corner. Whether you decide to take advantage of them is up to you, but they will be there for the taking.

Pisces Tarot Horoscope

Your card for the week: Wheel of Fortune

The Wheel of Fortune reminds you this week that life is full of ups and down. If you’ve been going through a problematic time in your life, this card could signal an end to this difficult period. If you’ve been going through a prosperous period, things could soon return to normal. Don’t lament this change — it is a natural part of growth and a natural part of life. Every experience you have serves a purpose in your understanding of yourself and your situations. Let this card serve as a reminder to embrace the ebb and flow of life.
