Blessed Full Moon! Tonight's Full Moon in Pisces (10:22PM PDT) is ripe for heart-opening magic, beaming compassion and love down to Earth. I invite you to cast and charge this Tarot Spell to raise the energies of unity and healing during these times of upheaval. Calling all witches, mages, and practitioners of the healing and mystical arts! I invite you to erect this tarot spell, during the Pisces Full Moon, onto your altar or reading table to raise the energies of unity and healing during these times of upheaval. In the name of Oneness against the forces of division. Sun is in Leo now, and it’s officially Leo Season with the Leo moon today too (through 4:40pm PDT) should bring a blast of creativity, and playful energy. And let’s be honest, some drama too, it is Leo after all! The Strength card is from the upcoming Lua Tarot. It’s basically done! Booklet is in editing mode, and I’m now working on the box art. Cards are at the printer, and I’m waiting on the proof. Yay! This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is exact tonight at 9:44pm PDT in Capricorn. It’s the USA’s birthday too, and it has been experiencing major difficult times. I keep talking about shadow work in my astrology posts, but, it’s a Capricorn Lunar Eclipse, and he rules the Devil card, so it comes up again! The Devil card is about the shadow and the ego. He shows us where we have attachment and fear. It’s the card of materialism and being addicted to stuff, like money. It’s also the card of bondage and enslavement. Can you believe it’s Summer?! It honestly doesn’t feel like it to me. But, it has been rainy and gray today here in Portland, and that vibe is certainly reflecting in the astrology. We have a potent Solstice Solar Eclipse that is exact tonight 11:41PM PDT. The New Moon moves into Cancer at 11:02PM and the Sun moves into Cancer at 2:44PM. Which means that this powerful Solar Eclipse portal is a Cancerian one. It is emotionally-based with a focus around home, family and femininity. We will likely be super sensitive, needy and want to snuggle in with people or things for comfort. Venus retrograde (Rx) started late last night at 11:45pm PDT in Gemini. She joins Pluto (Rx since April 25th) and Saturn (Rx since Sunday). Jupiter will be joining them tomorrow at 7:32am PDT. Venus reflects love, beauty, pleasure, sensuality, and governs intimacy and relationships. Venus’s Rx journey happens once every 18 months for 40 to 44 days. Spring Equinox is exact tonight at 8:49pm PST (0° Aries) with the waning Dark Moon in Aquarius. While it is beautiful and sunshine-y here in Portland, Ore., we’re asked to practice social distancing, when what we really want to do is socialize and share in the buzz of excitement as the Sun brings life back to the earth in the Northern Hemisphere. Spring Equinox is the time to celebrate the sign of life’s return from Winter. However, it’s also a time to honor the balance of light and dark, since the Equinox splits the day and night equally. During the Spring and Fall Equinoxes we honor balance. The Sun rises directly in the East and sets directly in the West. Two bits of news. 1) I got my Lua Tarot sample cards today and 2) the Sun enters Pisces tonight at 8:57pm PST! Pisces is a highly emotional and sensitive sign. Its dual energy can present us with two sides. On one hand, Pisces are artistic, compassionate and sensitive, and highly mystical and psychic. On the other hand, they can become easily ungrounded, be isolating and tend towards denial, wanting to escape reality perhaps via addiction or dependency. Incoming. Mercury is going Rx. Forewarned is forearmed Mercury in Pisces enters its Storm on Thursday as it slows down and stations retrograde (Rx) Sunday, February 16 at 4:54pm PST and remains in Rx until March 9 (Storm until 3/19/20)! Are you feeling its effects yet? Mercury Rx is not favorable for new projects. It is the ideal time to review, reflect, regroup, rethink and redo! Here’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. 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. 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. Venus in Aries wants to make love and mischief. Their combo brings adventure (and risk), excitement and passionate creativity! |
