Your Daily Tarot Card for October 23 is The Moon

 

 

Tarot Card of the Day

The Moon


October 23, 2015

What has traditionally been known as the Moon card refers to a deep state of sensitivity and imaginative impressionability, developed within a womb of deep relaxation. Here we dream and go into trance, have visions and receive insights, wash in and out with the psychic tides, and experience deep mystical and/or terrifying realities beyond our ordinary senses. The full moon and/or eclipse cycle charted by the Magi (as in some of the earliest Moon card images) exemplify this as a mechanism that Nature uses to expand consciousness.

The variants of the courtly lovers (representing skillful use of the sex force) or the man sleeping it off under the tree (use of drugs to alter consciousness) are also traditional avenues for tapping this primal force. Human interest in higher states propels us to the frontiers of consciousness, where we cannot always control what happens. The Moon card represents the ultimate test of a soul’s integrity, where the membrane between self and the Unknown is removed, and the drop of individuality reenters the Ocean of Being. What transpires next is between a soul and its Maker.

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

The Moon



The Moon represents those forces which remain largely hidden to us. The light of the moon provides some illumination down a path into the unknown, but not enough to brighten the landscape like The Sun, or cut through the dark shadows from which the unexpected may leap. However, The Moon is not without gifts we can use. She spurs our imagination and creativity. She can be a portal to knowledge and experience beyond the realm of our everyday lives. But Her offerings are not available to the feint of heart. To receive what The Moon offers one must have the courage to follow uncharted paths and the intelligence to find truths hidden in a bewildering setting rife with illusion. For those who can make this journey the reward may be finding the key to making their dreams come true

The Moon’s energy is most intense when she reaches abundant fullness. Any magical effort, especially difficult ones, can benefit greatly from the potency of this phase. Use the full Moon to amplify magical intent and to give spellworkings additional power.

To seal spells performed during the full Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing.

Abundant Mother, Moon so bright
Hear my plea upon this night.

Get a Jump On Tomorrow, Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 22nd

Get a Jump On Tomorrow….

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 22nd

by Rick Levine

 

General Horoscope
Exhilaration plays itself out and we begin a closing down process necessary to manifest our dreams. Confronting inflated expectations isn’t pleasant unless we’re willing to trade in our illusions for the truth. The Moon’s shift into calculating Capricorn at 8:32 am EDT emphasizes this unavoidable reality check. Meanwhile, a restrictive Mercury-Saturn alignment demands authenticity while a volcanic Mars-Pluto connection creates drama and intensity.

 

Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19
Although your intentions may be honorable, it’s not a simple matter to keep your feelings to yourself. You might even acknowledge that what you are about to say should probably be left unspoken, but you may blurt it out anyway in a moment of excitement. Unfortunately, you can’t take your words back once they are out in the open. Everyone knows that honesty is the best policy, but remember to think twice before you create an untenable situation. A little conscious self-restraint before the fact is wiser than an apology after it’s too late.

 

Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20
Your sensory antenna are tingling today and you notice things you might ordinarily miss, prompting you to be more emotionally volatile now than usual. You’re certain that your conclusions are correct and could easily start trying to convince others to see the future in the same light as you. However, it’s dangerous to believe there’s only a single perfect outcome and you know exactly what it is. Stay ahead of the curve by entertaining all possibilities before you fixate on just one. Keep in mind what works for you doesn’t necessarily work for anyone else.

 

Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20
There are a lot of wheels spinning in your head, but it’s prudent to keep most of your thoughts on the down low today. Ironically, your ideas are likely quite enlightening, but everyone will conclude your thinking is scattered if you keep changing your plans. Thankfully, you can still be more productive than others expect once you make a final decision. You newly found resolve is so strong that you won’t give up until you reach your goal, making you a truly formidable opponent or a steadfastly loyal friend.

 

Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22
Stepping back from an explosive situation is smart, but you may get swept up in an emotional melodrama before you know it today. Reassess your involvement prior to doing something you might later regret. In fact, withdrawing your energy is your safest move if you decide that it’s really not your business. On the other hand, if participating in this conflict is truly necessary, at least detach yourself from any specific outcome. Your contribution will be more valuable to the group process now if you use your head and not your heart.

 

Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22
You may become irritated today with someone who doesn’t usually get under your skin, yet you can’t put your finger directly on the source of your annoyance. Perhaps a coworker might bring up a sensitive subject that stirs deep emotions you have been purposefully trying to avoid. Whatever the circumstances are in the moment, it’s time to face the music. Fortunately, your residual angst will begin to dissipate if you have the courage to put your feelings out on the table. Shining light into the shadows banishes your fear of the dark.

 

Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22
You might become sorely disappointed in yourself if you end up letting down someone who is counting on you today. Nevertheless, you won’t likely sit still long enough to take the heat for something that is not in your control. Thankfully, you’re too results-oriented to waste time wallowing in self-pity or drowning in self-doubt now. Dust yourself off and reclaim your power; determine what went wrong, improve your plan and try again before you lose momentum. Practice makes perfect.

 

Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22
Your opinions won’t necessarily become any less extreme today just because the emotional intensity has started to wane. You could be unusually stubborn about your version of the truth and may even be uncharacteristically impatient with anyone who tries to change your mind. The good news is you have an opportunity to listen carefully to what others say now without being required to agree with any of their conclusions. Putting your exemplary diplomatic skills to good use has never been more important than during these volatile times. Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with you.

 

Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21
You’re tired of setting ambitious goals and then falling short of your own lofty expectations. Fortunately, the strategic Capricorn Moon’s visit to your 3rd House of Immediate Environment provides you with the structure you need to execute your plan without deviation. Nevertheless, you could create unnecessary opposition by inadvertently angering someone if you’re too forceful in your approach. Persistence works in your favor if you know when to wear a velvet glove and when to take it off.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21
You can see right through people’s excuses today and your incisive observations might make them quite nervous. Paradoxically, you could be absolutely correct in your assumptions yet only make matters worse by raising a sensitive subject in an inconsiderate manner. There’s no reason to avoid a necessary discussion now as long as you steer clear of any type of judgmental criticism. Adopting an open-minded and compassionate approach puts others at ease; you can achieve the impossible when everyone sets aside their egos and concentrates on the common good.

 

Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19
You could be the proverbial go-to person of your group because everyone thinks you have the secret to success in your pocket. You may have a particularly strong grip on reality now, increasing your sense of authority even more. But don’t mistakenly believe that your vision is the right answer for everyone just because you can effortlessly navigate your way into the future. Acknowledging that multiple solutions are possible earns you even more credibility points with your workmates in the long run.

 

Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18
You are working with a unique set of objectives today, yet the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Privacy suggests that you are determined to hide your plans from others. Perhaps you want to avoid premature judgment before you put your new strategy into motion. Or, maybe you just need to prove your mettle, so you choose to venture out on your own. Keep in mind that a collaborative effort with the right person will strengthen your hand and increase your overall effectiveness. Believe it or not, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

 

Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20
Your peers may be unfairly critical of your performance today, yet you can still learn something constructive from what they say. Unfortunately, you might not want to listen to anyone’s advice now because of your own issues of low self-esteem. Thankfully, you can find a pearl of wisdom in this awkward exchange once you simply acknowledge your insecurities. Being transparent about your process is the current key to self-improvement. Seeing yourself as a work in progress gives you the inspiration to create a masterpiece.
