Today’s Tarot Card for Feb. 19th is The Hermit

The challenge of what has traditionally been known as the Hermit card is to be able to recognize a teacher in a humble disguise. This font of mysterious knowledge will not make it easy for the student to acquire his wisdom, as it takes time and long contemplation to fathom what he knows. He often speaks wordlessly, or in ancient and barbaric tongues, communicating with the elements, animals and Nature herself.

While the hourglass was an identifying feature on the earliest Hermit cards, more modern ones have shifted the metaphor, showing more or less light released from his lantern. In either case, the Hermit card reminds us of the value of time away from the hubbub of civic life, to relax the ego in communion with Nature.

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Jan. 10 is The Sword

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card

The Sword

The Sword is a a call to action. It indicates challenges are before you and to attain your goals you will have to address them. The Sword does not suggest rash or underhanded behavior on your part. Indeed, while actions indicated by The Sword are decisive, they are based on the power of your wisdom and ethics. The strength of The Sword lies in the moral purity of your actions.

As a daily card, The Sword suggest a time in which you will face external challenges to attaining your goals. These trials are likely to come from a person or persons who stand to gain from your loss or delays in you moving forward. You can expect underhanded play and surprises. Fortunately your position is far stronger than those who scheme to usurp you. Address challenges as they arise and all will be well.

Your Daily Tarot Card for Nov. 13th is The Sun

The Sun

What has traditionally been known as the Sun card is about the self — who you are and how you cultivate your personality and character. The earth revolves around the sun to make up one year of a person’s life, a fact we celebrate on our birthday.

The Sun card could also be titled “Back to Eden.” The Sun’s radiance is where one’s original nature or unconditioned Being can be encountered in health and safety. The limitations of time and space are stripped away; the soul is refreshed and temporarily protected from the chaos outside the garden walls.

Under the light of the Sun, Life reclaims its primordial goodness, truth and beauty. If one person is shown on this card, it is usually signifying a human incarnation of the Divine. When two humans are shown, the image is portraying a resolution of the tension between opposites at all levels. It’s as if this card is saying “You can do no wrong — it’s all to the good!”

Daily Feng Shui News for Oct. 29th – ‘Hermit Day’

On ‘Hermit Day’ I want to look at the Hermit card, one of the most powerful cards in the ‘Tarot’ modality. On this card the Hermit stands alone on the top of a mountain with a staff in one hand and a lantern in the other. Mountains traditionally symbolize achievement, accomplishment and growth. The Hermit has reached a spiritual pinnacle and now wants to share that knowledge with others. He is a symbol of the ultimate awareness. His staff represents power and authority while also symbolizing the ability to influence the subconscious mind. The lantern represents sharing his inner light with the world. If you resonate with any of these qualities, keep an image of the Hermit close by. That way you will not only honor the wisdom within yourself but you’ll also be able to shine your own light on your own special path to find your own power within.

All About Virgo

All About Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Virgo

by Tarotcom Staff

Virgo rhymes with “Oh no,” which is what you’ll hear them cry when things aren’t perfect. Virgo is a smart and practical Earth sign, ruled by mental Mercury and symbolized by the Virgin — not necessarily because Virgo is prudish, but rather because they are highly discriminating.

Virgo is hardworking, detail-oriented and quite critical, with an uncanny analytical gift for seeing what’s wrong with people, situations and their surrounding environment. This perfectionism makes Virgo valuable to have around, but also sometimes uncomfortable to be around if they turn their critical eye on you.

More than anything, Virgo is a loving, loyal and true friend you can always count on.

What we love about Virgo

You can always count on Virgo to come through for you in a pinch, and they have a surprisingly keen sense of humor.

Why Virgo drives us nuts

Virgo’s perfectionism can sometimes be negative, and it can lead them to become too critical of others. They also have a tendency to be passive-aggressive.

Virgo advice

Loosen up every once in a while. No one is perfect, not even you!

Most compatible matches

Sincere Virgo is a great match for emotional Pisces and like-minded Earth signs Taurus and Capricorn.

Least compatible matches

Earthy, practical Virgo is least compatible with breezy Air signs, including eccentric Aquarius, erratic Gemini and changeable Libra.

Born on the cusp

People born on the cusp share common traits from two different zodiac signs.
