Lua Tarot Sample Deck and Sun in Pisces

2/18/2020

View this post on Instagram

Two bits of news. 1) I got my Lua Tarot sample cards today! âœ¨â–¡ and 2)the Sun enters Pisces tonight at 8:57pm PST! â € â € Pisces is a highly emotional and sensitive sign. Its dual energy â™“ï¸ can present us with two sides. On the one hand, Pisceans are artistic, compassionate and sensitive, and highly mystical and psychic. Others times Pisces can become quite ungrounded, and can tend to escape reality via addiction and dependency. â € â € During the month the Sun is in Pisces, we all may get a touch of both these sides. And the extreme sensitivity of Pisces can make things more uncomfortable to navigate everyday life. Take care of yourself! The immune system can especially become compromised during delicate Pisces time. â € â € Here you see the Lua Tarotâ€™s Moon card, which is ruled by Pisces, and Sun card together to reflect the Sun in Pisces energy. â € â € The Ace of Coins shows the seed point of manifestation....and I use it to symbolize the sample deck for the Lua Tarot that arrived today!â € â € Itâ€™s so exciting to see the 50 completed cards off the screen and on card stock. Thereâ€™s still some work to do on it. But Iâ€™m hoping to release it in the Summer! â € â € Iâ€™ll have this sample deck on display at #NWTS2020 so if youâ€™re going to be there, please come by and say hello!! â € â € Iâ€™ll post more images of the #luatarot cards soon. â €

Mercury Rx Incoming Feb 16, 2020

2/11/2020

View this post on Instagram

â € Mercury in Pisces enters its Storm on Thursday as it slows down and stations retrograde Sunday, Feb 16 at 4:54pm PST and remains in RX until March 9 (Storm until 3/19/20)! Are you feeling it yet?â–¡â € â € Mercury RX is not favorable for new projects. It IS the ideal time to review, reflect, regroup, rethink and redo! This is NOT the time to buy electronics, enter into contracts, trust communication, travel or rely on transportation. â € â € During this time, write down new ideas and try not to start anything because projects that begin during Mercury Rx tend to have delays and not go according to plan. Itâ€™s best to focus on whatâ€™s already on your plate. Do you have editing to do? Are there things that new review or reflection? âœ¨â–¡â € â € We are already feeling the affects of Mercury RX around here. Davidâ€™s phone is acting very strange--dialing on its own and entering numbers and letters that he is not pressing. On reboot, his music app started playing music and it had not been on â–¡. Are there blips going on where you are?â € â € #mercuryretrograde #astrologyposts #divinemusings #divinemuses #mercurystorm â–¡ image of Mercury captured by Nasaâ€™s Messenger â–¡ in 2013. Eight color filters on the spacecraftâ€™s camera were used to accentuate color variations on the surface of the planet.

Lua Tarot's 4 of Wands & Venus in Aries

2/7/2020

View this post on Instagram

Hereâ€™s part of a card from my new deck, the Lua Tarot. Today at 12:02 pm PST, Venus goes into Aries. Venus in Aries is associated with the Four of Wands. â € â € This card is about sharing in the joy and festivities of a commemoration, such as a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or milestone of some sort. The message is about the gratitude and abundance we find in our community or home and the stability gained from them. â € â € Venus will be in Aries until March 4th. The transition today can create discomfort since Venus tends to focus on others and Aries is the sign of selfhood. If you are more of a giver, then the next four weeks will bring lessons around how to accept things...like love...and other gifts from others. âœ¨â–¡âœ¨â € â € Venus in Aries wants to make love and mischief. Their combo brings adventure (and risk), excitement and passionate creativity! â € â € #fourofwands #luatarot #divinemuses #divinemusings #tarotdeckcreator #tarotcommunity #newtarotdeck #blackandwhitetarot #grayscaleart #digitalcollage #venusinaries

New Moon in Aquarius and the Star

1/24/2020

View this post on Instagram

Out with the old, in with the new! The New Moon in Aquarius begins at 1:42pm PST. âœ¨â–¡â™’ï¸ Today's double Aquarius energy (Sun and Moon, but Mercury has also been in Aquarius) brings the Tarot Starâ€™s energy. Though Aquarius is an air sign, she's the Water Bearer, bringing renewal and new ideas. Aquarius is the visionary, the inventor, the humanitarian, and the revolutionary. And she brings progress!â € â € Some astrologers believe that the Age of Aquarius dawned in the 60s, but others say that the Aquarian Age hasn't really begunâ€”that December 21st's Great Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction will be the true gateway to the Age of Aquarius. (That conjunction will be in Aquarius.) I think it's a bit of both. That we've been in that doorway of transition! (If you don't know an astrological age lasts 2000 to 2100 years, and we're leaving the Age of Pisces.)â € â € As the lunar month begins (and the Lunar New Year! Tomorrow is the first day of the Chinese New Year â–¡â–¡and the start of the Rat yearâ–¡), I've been cleansing my space, settling into my self-care practice, and launching into creating my new tarot deck, the #luatarot Iâ€™ve completed about 25 cards! Hereâ€™s the Star â–¡ againâ€”as one piece this time. Aquarius is often connected to technology and Iâ€™ve been working on perfecting my digital collage technique â–¡! â € â € Since the Sun-Moon blast of Aquarian energy is present, I've been cleansing my space with water and essential oil. (Water in the Air...Aquarius combo.)â € â € Many blessings to you on this New Moon. May the innovation, genius and progressiveness of Aquarius bring the renewal, peace and revelation of The Star. â € â € #thestar #newmoonaquarius #lunarnewyear2020 #ageofaquarius #tarotdeckcreator #tarotcardart

MLKJ Day and the Lunar Masculine

1/20/2020

View this post on Instagram

â€œReturning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding darkness to a night devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.â€ â€” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. â € The image is the Lunar Masculine card from #divinemusesoracle and represents the sensitive warrior practicing the nonviolence philosophy, as Dr. King spoke about in the Lorraine Motel just hours before he was assassinated in April 1968. He sat on his bed and went over the principles of nonviolence with his entourage....not strategy, but the importance of nonviolence.â € â € In the guidebook, I use the above Dr. King quote (from Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? p. 67) in connection with the Lunar Masculine archetype, the sensitive warrior who uses words and compassion as his weaponry of choice, instead of violence. On MLKJ Day, I honor Dr. Kingâ€™s legacy...and beyond today, everyday. â € â € May we all remember his message of love and continue to evolve and learn from each other; find our common links as human beings in a time that seems like we are more divided than ever. Where hate and fear continue to create bigger divides; love, compassion and acceptance bring us together on the same side on this small planet in our galaxy of galaxies. âœ¨â–¡

Magical Child Oracle Sample Cards

1/17/2020

View this post on Instagram

I got a sample of the Magical Child Oracle cards that I have completed so far. Here are just a few of them. My intention is for this to be a childrenâ€™s / inner child deck. â € â € The idea was birthed during the making of the Magical Child card from the #DivineMusesOracle (2nd photo). â–¡â–¡â€â™€ï¸ Iâ€™m not quite done with the Magical Child Oracle yet, but wanted to see how they would look/work as cards. I had them printed in mini and standard tarot size. I think I may also release them as a set, one for the parent (standard size) and the mini size for their child. Iâ€™m still working out the details of this deck and finishing card designs, but wanted to share a few of them with you today. âœ¨â–¡â–¡â€â™€ï¸âœ¨â–¡âœ¨ â € â € #MagicalChildOracle #divineMuses

Uranus Stations Direct in Taurus

1/10/2020

View this post on Instagram

Uranus goes direct today (5:49pm PST)! âœ¨â–¡(Photo captured by Voyager 2 in 1986.) This planet is the rebel planet â€”the revolutionary. Uranus has been taking a retrograde nap in Taurus since August 11th 2019. If you feel like things have not been moving ahead, the evolution youâ€™ve been waiting for (particularly in connection to your body, the earth, material realm or things you possessâ€”Taurus related things) is ready for you to take action! With today's Eclipse your positive choices and intentions have power. â € â € Uranus going direct in Taurus is a powerful time to start embodying your personal evolution. One of my favorite astrology teachers, Divine Harmony, calls Uranus in Taurus the "embodiment evolution." What actions are you going to take toward the environment? How are you waking up in your body? This is the time to start moving: exercise, dance, or do whatever your Uranus in Taurus wants to do. â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡â€â™‚ï¸â–¡â–¡â€â™‚ï¸Perhaps it's though ritual or invocation, bringing the spiritual into the mundane, and creating an embodiment practice âœ¨. â € â € As I said in my Lunar Eclipse post, my word for the year is self-care, so I'm using Uranus direct's energy to help buoy my daily practice. âœ¨â–¡How about you? What's this look like for you?â €

Wolf Moon Lunar Eclipse Cancer

1/10/2020

View this post on Instagram

Today is the Lunar Eclipse (exact a 11:21 am PST) in the Wolf Moonâ€”the first of the 13 moons of the year. â–¡ âœ¨And itâ€™s in the sensitive and loving sign of Cancer. Eclipses can be intense, but they also offer us opportunities to take an honest assessment of the things that are not working and change them. With the Sun in Capricorn, itâ€™s a time of stepping up to take responsibility for what isnâ€™t working for us. â € â € Since weâ€™re starting the year off with this eclipse on the axis of Cancer and Capricorn, itâ€™s the perfect opportunity to focus on self-care. Iâ€™ve chosen self-care as my word for the year, to remind myself to do a daily practice so I can ground and take care of my mind, body and soul this year. â € â € However, this eclipse axis also reminds me to reach out to the people I love in my life. Cancer wants to love AND be loved. We need to remember to get off our screens and meet up with our loving friends and family...because we will need each other more than ever this year! So we mustnâ€™t isolate ourselves. â € â € I felt so much joy after reconnecting with a dear friend of mine who had been out of the countryâ€”my heart felt so buoyed! I had been feeling down for a few days and this sweet conversation made me remember the importance of connecting with the people we love. â € â € Happy Lunar Eclipse! May you find this to be a time of empowerment. May you remember that you are loved and supported. â–¡ âœ¨â–¡
