In the Cards

I got a Tarot reading the other day and the last card she pulled for me was the Chariot. When you see the Chariot, you know it’s a YES. As Rachel Pollack writes: the Chariot is the first of three Victory cards. Here the Victory is over the outer challenges of life…” The New Moon…

Each of the four Tarot “suits” is associated with an element. This is the most common division that I’ve seen: Fire = Wands Earth = Pentacles Water = Cups Air = Swords Each element is connected to various ideas and things. You can probably think up a few of these on your own, even if…

This is another one of those positive happy cards that always feels vague to me.  I feel YES but what else? And sure I rather see the World than various other cards (Hello Death! Hello Tower!) On a mundane level, I have seen it for TRAVEL, traveling the world. Tarot is a funny thing. So…

I’m going to be changing my approach to the way I do Tarot and Astrology readings. And I know it will take time. It will be a process (Virgo keyword!) But this is what I’m thinking:  instead of giving answers or trying to give answers (what we call prediction or divination), I am going to…

Mercury enters the sign of Virgo on Friday. What is Virgo? The helper, the fixer, the saver, do-gooder, healer, witch, the practical magician and the lover of detail. The meticulous housekeeper. She may not be a cleaning genie but ORDER is a must. Worrier. Servant. She only wants to help — as she critiques you…

The first stage is shock. This is the same for all life transitions, including being born. Then you enter stage two, the Sun stage. You’re adjusting. You know where you are. Stage two, the Sun stage, is when you have to find some light in the matter, no matter how small, how measly its blaze. Sometimes…

What happens is people get bored and they flit from one relationship to the next. Looking for that elusive… something. So that they will not get bored anymore. Boredom =  discomfort with how things are right now. What one of my poetry teachers called “the irritable reaching after fact.”  She was quoting Keats. But I…

And now we turn to the Moon. I remember in the first Tarot class that I taught, we had a long long discussion about the Moon. The class was all women I think, women mostly younger than me, and many of them didn’t hold the “traditional” Tarot hesitations about the Moon card — confusion, illusion,…

Every New Moon is about home. Every Full Moon is about home. The next Full Moon, in the sign of Aquarius, is this Sunday. Tonight in meditation class, my teacher mentioned going house hunting in a town 5 hours away, even though he’s not ready to retire yet. The conversation made me think about Saturn.…

The Star is the future. It’s not here now, not here yet. Stars are far away. This card always feels vague to me. Hope? Yay! Whatever. I know I know, context is everything. I rather see the Star than the Tower but when I see the Star, I shrug my shoulders. I just don’t “feel”…
