Your Tarot Card for December 14th is Strength

Strength

Friday, Dec 14th, 2012

What has traditionally been known as the Strength card represents Nature which, however wild in its primal form, is tamed by our subtler, finer (feminine, interior) self. The will and passion of our instinctive nature does not need to be broken, but refined and brought to consciousness — so that all levels of Creation, inner and outer, may come into harmony.

The feminine soul-force contains a persuasive power that can nurture and induce cooperation from others, stilling disruptive energies by harmonizing differences in the spirit of collective good will.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for December 11th is The Swan

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today

The Swan

The elegant Swan is an ideal symbol of beauty and grace. Its flowing curves and fluid movement give an ethereal air of perfection realized. The Swan’s beauty embodies the feminine (Yin) qualities of intuition and sensitivity. But The Swan does not begin life as a creature who appears to be the creation of divine inspiration. Indeed at birth The Swan is an ungainly creature that lacks any indications of the magnificent being it is destined to become. The Swan’s transformation from ordinary to extraordinary have made it an emblem of discovering the beauty and power of your true self.

As a daily card, The Swan is a reminder of the beauty, creativity and power your true self embodies. In this period it is best to let the real you rule and be known to all–to remember who you really are and what you are really about. The Swan also marks a time when your creative powers may be at their zenith.

Today’s Tarot for December 6th is The Fool

The Fool

Thursday, Dec 6th, 2012

Pamela Coleman-Smith’s artful rendition of an “innocent Fool” archetype (Rider-Waite deck) is often used to represent Tarot in general. Early classical versions of the Fool card, however, portray quite a different character — a person driven by base needs and urges, who has fallen into a state of poverty and deprivation.

In some instances, he is made out to be a carnival entertainer or a huckster. In others, he is portrayed as decrepit and vulnerable — as the cumulative result of his delusions and failures. Not until the 20th century do you see the popular Rider-Waite image of the Fool arise — that of an innocent Soul before its Fall into Matter, as yet untainted by contact with society and all its ills.

Modern decks usually borrow from the Rider-Waite imagery. Most Fool cards copy the bucolic mountainside scene, the butterfly, the potential misplaced step that will send the Fool tumbling into the unknown. Don’t forget, however, that the earlier versions of this card represented already-fallen humanity, over-identified with the material plane of existence, and beginning a pilgrimage towards self-knowledge, and eventually, wisdom. The Fool reminds us to recognize the path of personal development within ourselves — and the stage upon that path where we find ourselves — in order to energize our movement toward deeper self-realization.

Your Tarot Card for December 3rd is The Moon

The Moon

Monday, Dec 3rd, 2012

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

‘THINK on THESE THINGS’ for November 26th

‘THINK on THESE THINGS’
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler

Remember all those times when you made three trips to the other room to get something, and before you got there you had already forgotten what it was? Didn’t the thought of age dimming your memory enter your mind at those times?

There’s really no need to waste time thinking that way. It is not the case of a scattered memory, but a skittery mind, jumping from one subject to another with only circumstances to remind you.

And haven’t you awakened sharply in the middle of the night because suddenly you remembered something you should have done, or something you must do? Age gain? No, it was the only time your subconscious mind ever found you quiet enough to remind you of something you wanted to remember.

Life would be so much more orderly if we took several minutes night and morning to sit completely away from outside sights and sounds to recall the important things. As long as we are able to see and hear the activity about it we have difficulty thinking soundly. The conscious mind is capable of carrying just so much, and then the debris must be cleared away before the “filed away” things in the subconscious can be remembered.

“Be still and know…..”

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, November 21

Change is in the air today as our hopes bring a new wave of optimism. We need to be careful raising our expectations so high that we set ourselves up for disillusionment later on. But the square between the dreamy Pisces Moon and confident Jupiter also brings good news that’s magnified by the Sun’s shift into inspirational Sagittarius. Fantasies grow excessive as Venus slips into passionate Scorpio and harmonizes with visionary Neptune.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Happiness may be eluding you today, even if it feels very close. Unfortunately, when it gets near, reality doesn’t measure up to your fantastic expectations. All the best of intentions won’t ensure that everything will work out as planned, unless you are willing to live in a dream world now. Don’t get discouraged; enjoy the beauty without trying to capture it and make it last forever.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re normally not comfortable with uncertainty because you like to know where you are and where you are heading. Now, however, your key planet Venus is having a tough time getting her bearings due to fuzzy Neptune’s influence — and you might feel lost. Instead of struggling to continue on your path, give yourself the day to chill out without having to be anywhere at all.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel a bit awkward in an intimate encounter if the intensity of emotional expression goes to an extreme. But this isn’t necessarily about drama, since your feelings are probably quite contained. The difficulty stems from your inability to separate what you want from what you think you are experiencing. Analysis will not help today; let go and take the plunge. Given proper care and feeding, anything you imagine now can grow into something substantial over time.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may feel as if the day has wrapped you in a soft velvety blanket of fantasy and you just want to curl up in your contentment. You feel very safe in your isolation, but it’s not as easy when you have to interact with the outer world. Others aren’t necessarily as supportive of your dreams now — and this makes you insecure. Don’t try to overcompensate with social niceties. Just be yourself and let others see the real you, complete with tender vulnerability.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Relationships are now a source of great pleasure and also a bit of confusion. Although you can temporarily sidestep conflict by glossing over a disagreement with broad philosophical generalizations and sweet gestures, you must face the truth sooner or later. It’s best to speak your heart today so that you don’t mislead anyone. Avoidance will only increase any misunderstandings; honesty is the best policy.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your words may be unintentionally hurtful today, precipitating a challenging emotional situation. It may be too easy to project your unresolved feelings on to the nearest person. Keep in mind that your imagination is working overtime now and you must do whatever is necessary to soften your own rough edges before saying anything you might regret.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus has found a sweet ally in dreamy Neptune today, so let your imagination soar to the greatest possible heights. Give yourself some quiet time to fantasize about whatever you choose. Just remember that it’s easier to drift into the magical inner realms if you’ve already taken care of your commitments in the real world first.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Loving Venus enters your intense sign today, continuing to lure you into hidden worlds and magical dimensions. This journey into the unknown is accentuated as Venus opens channels to surreal Neptune, making the beauty of your imagination even more apparent to others. Keep your thoughts on positive possibilities rather than letting them drift toward darker fears. You are more in control of your future than you realize

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your desires are now being fueled by idealism as the Sun enters your adventurous sign and moves toward a creative square to inspirational Neptune. You aren’t willing to settle for anything less than perfection now. Naturally, this attitude can create a real dilemma for your friends and associates, since no one can meet your unrealistic expectations. You are better off talking about your needs honestly so you can develop a proper sense of perspective before going any further.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have a frustrating time establishing balance in your life today. You might need to relinquish control because the edges of your plans are dissolving into a changing set of circumstances. Events are unfolding that can shift your center before you realize what happened. No matter what, don’t lose sight of your goals now, even if you have to close your eyes to get your bearings.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have free reign within your own mind today because external noises won’t get in the way of your romantic fantasies. Without any sense of guilt, you can go wherever you want and travel on your wildest thoughts and desires. Unfortunately, this may not be such a great time to let your daily routine slip. Don’t neglect your unfinished chores now, even if they are less pleasant than your daydreams.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Be careful, for your optimism could blindside you today, especially with respect to relationships. Your key planet imaginative Neptune receives a sweet love tap from Venus, tempting you to sugarcoat nearly any difficult situation. Let your visions inspire you, but remember, the more honestly you face reality, the better the outcome for everyone involved.

‘THINK on THESE THINGS’ for November 20

‘THINK on THESE THINGS’
By Joyce Sequichie Hifler

How much voice do we really have in our own affairs? How free are we to speak out on the things we know and believe and want to say? How much voice do we have in public affairs?

How much goes unsaid because it may be bad for business, or it might make us look foolish? How often we should speak up but think it is none of our business? How quiet we are when someone’s unethical hand does wrong.

What is it that inhibits us? Our own fears. Fear of our own ignorance, fear of losing, fear of the bugaboos we know lurk somewhere, but just aren’t sure where.

Who are the people who are free of fears? They are the individuals who govern themselves in such a manner as to have thought out their own ideas enough to be able to speak freely for themselves.

Ethics would seem to be something to ignore if you wish to be successful in business. Many people strive harder today than at any other time to divide their lives so that being seen in church is good taste, and being unethical in business proves they are shrewd. Being successful isn’t nearly as important as proving that they’ve gotten that way by the clever undoing of their opposition.

There was a time when building a better mouse trap by the most efficient methods gave us satisfaction, but too often these days we are impressed because someone is smart. Not smart with intelligence, but smart with the cunning that goes along with the jungle code of getting before someone gets you.

The person who tries to get ahead by ethical methods, and by wanting only to provide something better than is already in existence, must also be equipped to withstand ridicule.

Frankly, the race of the tortoise and the hare is still on, and while the hare is tearing around showing off its ability to be a fast runner, the tortoise is making progress, and never losing its way.

Socrates, being asked the way to honest fame, said, “Study to be what you wish to seem.” Success takes time and moral discipline, but our successes will be as human beings first, and then the crown of success in business will sit easily and firmly.

Current Moon Phase for November 20: First Quarter

First Quarter Moon

(waxing/49% illumination)

Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.
