 We’re in the midst of eclipse season! I pulled the Mystic Rapture card reversed from the Divine Muses Oracle and one of its reversed, or shadow, messages is about eclipse season reflection. Eclipses can bring change and force us to look at our Shadow. We are being asked to adapt & grow beyond the current perception of ourselves and that of the world.
Eclipses are an obscuration of the sun or moon, and this phenomenon reflects the darker side of our nature—or Shadow. If you are sensitive to energy, this reversed card is suggesting that you take heed during this eclipse season.

 Lua Tarot and Lenormand Cards Full Moon is exact tonight at 8:31 pm PT. This Moon’s influence is under Scorpio, which is associated with the Tarot’s Death card—the Child of the Great Transformers and the Lord of the Gate of Death.
Scorpio’s ruling planet is Pluto and Pluto goes Retrograde tomorrow (1:03pm) for 6 months. Also: the USA is experiencing its first Pluto Return, currently 26° Capricorn (within 1° orb of US’s exact natal Pluto).  The Pluto energies have been quite intense lately. Especially for the USA, as an immense astrology transit has been nudging ever slowly forth for the past year.
The USA has been approaching its first Pluto Return, currently 26° Capricorn (within 1° orb of USA’s natal Pluto). Many people have heard of their Saturn Return, but what is Pluto Return? While I was creating a Reel for Instagram, The High Priestess card came up to remind me of the Dark Moon energies we are entering. The Dark Moon is the Moon for priestess magic. The time to tap into your mystical or spiritual discipline, to quiet down and hear / understand the teachings intuitively. Moon entered Pisces early this morning and the New Moon in Pisces is Saturday at 2:21am PST! This is an invitation to recharge your mind and body if you've been feeling emotionally drained. May you be restored during this time. You can easily turn your Lua Tarot box into a card stand like this:
 Lua Lenormand ©2020 Maree Bento Full Moon in Virgo reading from the Lua Lenormand. Stars + Moon + Snake shows the twists and turns of creativity and intuitive clarity. It can be a circuitous path of your purpose and destiny.
Full Moon in Virgo wants us to refine our purpose and tap into productivity, to put our emotions second. This can feel like a paradox as the Full Moon wants us to fully feel them.  Lua Tarot and Antiquarian Tarot Reading Spread Anyone else feeling this Swords-y energy at this Lunar New Year? Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and the Sun & Moon are ALL currently vibrating in Aquarius energy.
With the Aquarius vibes, most Tarotists would think of The Star card, which perhaps does reflect the macrocosmic reality, but I’m not sensing that as strongly right now. I am sensing microcosmic mundane world in these three Swords cards today.  Jupiter and Saturn come together in a most auspicious way on the 21st of December. The “Great Conjunction” will spark a turning point at 0° Aquarius on the Solar New Year—the Solstice.
There is a wondrous rebirthing energy converging in the astro heavens that is signaling to us a renaissance! One can see why some astrologers have been calling this the “official” entrance into the Age of Aquarius.  Total Solar Eclipse Collage © Maree Bento 2020 We have walked through the fire that has been 2020, and we have been transformed. While this year has felt like the biggest setback of our lives, it truly has been a monumental catalyst for our evolution.
This morning’s Total Solar Eclipse is exact at 8:17am PST. The Sagittarius Eclipse brings an intense and quiet power. Can you feel the inner stirrings of change?  Lua Tarot ©2020 Maree Bento Another magic Monday! Full moon magic on the Gemini/Sagittarius axis. Did anyone sense the lunar eclipse early this morning? I caught a glimpse of it through the clouds here in Portland, as drops of rain speckled my face with their penumbral infused lunar magic.
Penumbral eclipses are more gentle as the moon moves behind the Earth’s outer shadow. They don’t hit us in the same way that Total eclipses do. They reflect a more subtle power.  Lua Lenormand ©2020 Maree Bento Blessed lucky Moon magic! 🌑🍀✨ We have a Cazimi Moon tonight, a most auspicious moon energy for starting something new. The time frame is extra potent for 30 minutes before and after the Sun/Moon conjunction. The exact time of the New Moon and time frame:
PST 9:07pm: 8:37pm to 9:37pm EST 12:07am: 11:37pm to 12:37am Cazimi Moons bring good luck and open us to new opportunities. New Moon rituals during a Cazimi Moon get an extra boost of good fortune. May your endeavors be blessed with abundance in all forms!  Dare to be You © 2020 Maree Bento for Magical Child Oracle* Today is 15˚ Scorpio and marks Solar Samhain, the exact solar midpoint of Equinox & Solstice.
The Sabian message for 15 degrees Scorpio is, “A Girl’s Face Breaking into a Smile.” Sabian symbols are metaphorical phrases that describe each astrological degree of the zodiac, for which there are 360. (they’re like messages from an oracle!)  Lua Tarot and Lenormand Reading Mercury Retrograde is today at 6:05pm PDT and Mercury Stations Direct on election day this year!
The last time Mercury Stationed on an election day was in the 2000 election, but Mercury Stationed RX that year. If you remember, the voting punch machines in Florida were not functioning correctly, and we saw a national debacle around “hanging chads” which ensued for weeks before Al Gore conceded on Dec 13th.  Lua Tarot Magician Do you believe in magic? Today’s Full Moon tarot card is the Lua Tarot's Magician.
October skies will bless us with two magical Full Moons: today and Halloween, a true blue moon. It has been a rough couple of weeks. We’re seeing extra tension in the world thanks to Mars retrograde. But, we have a chance to step out of the conflict of warrior Mars and return to our central inner power.  Lua Tarot Hermit “The happiness of man consists in life. And life is in labor...The vocation of every man and woman is to serve other people.” —Lev Tolstoy
Blessed New Moon in Virgo! Here we have the Lua Tarot Hermit who is: the Prophet of the Eternal and the Magus of the Voice of Power, and it is ruled by Virgo.

I invite you to cast and charge this Tarot Spell to raise the energies of unity and healing during these times of upheaval.
