Tarot insight: The Hanged Man represents that things may be in a state of limbo at the moment. You may feel you lack the ability to help yourself.  It is a time to be patient and not to worry about things. You aren’t able to do anything to change circumstances, and will need to wait it out until the situation has passed. The hanged man symbolises self-sacrifice either material or emotional.

After all the shake-ups this week, Sun makes a sextile to Mars and you will feel the push of this energy. Take advantage of the opportunities this brings as they present themselves.  Look for creative solutions to problems and trust your instincts to guide you. Support is available, and people are in the mood to cooperate and try and help.

It could be a good day for relationships, as this aspect fires up romantic sparks. The Moon, still in passionate Scorpio inspires the urge to deepen intimacy with a partner.

Tarot insight:  Card of the day is Justice. It can represent justice, fairness and equilibrium in all dealings with people, so it's a good omen concerning partnerships, business deals and legal issues. This card can also signify the righting of a wrong that has been done to you in the past, or you seeking justice for another.  It kinda a karmic pay back time.

Yesterday’s Sun-Mercury square to Pluto continues to draw your mind into the dark side, and now love planet Venus unites with stern Saturn. Just as Venus gets things nearly where she wants then Saturn steps in and stops her.  It’s another good day for proceeding with caution.

Moon –Jupiter says there’s a false sense of optimism in the air that can blow everything out of proportion, stick to your plans and try to remain calm.
In the markets volatility is going to be very strong with so many hard planetary aspects

Tarot insight:  The Wheel of Fortune card brings change. The Wheel keeps on turning,  up and down, either way freeing us from the past. No one can escape its cyclical action, which can feel somewhat terrifying -- no matter whether we are rising or falling. Change is ahead.  A new cycle in life, good luck and fortune.

With so many planets in Libra things aren't quite right, fair or balanced, though most have been pretending they are (a Libra trick), and with the Moon squaring Pluto it brings things to the surface ahead of Scorpio season next month. It  reveals unexpressed motives that may trigger powers struggles in  relationships. Fear of losing control creates additional worry when Mercury squares Pluto then joins the Sun to focus our intentions and align them with what we say.

Sweet Venus joins strict Saturn, Venus wants to do nice things and Saturn says "not now".
Later on today, Moon enters the secluded waters of Scorpio. We pull ourselves into our own protective walls, where we’re safe from the mean, outside world.

Tarot insight:  Today’s card is The Fool.   Expect the unexpected when The Fool turns up. 'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread' however sometimes it can be wise to 'Look before you leap'. When The Fool appears it is a time for new beginnings.  Any trials along the way will make you a more experienced and perhaps wiser.  The Fool represents the untapped potential in all of us.

The winds of change are upon us with the New Super Moon in Libra today. Super Moons often predict natural disasters such as severe weather, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.

Disruption in the flow of energy as Mercury opposes Uranus rx. Communications of all sorts may buzz throughout the day, and stress is bound to increase.  Watch for cyber attacks.  Use this energy positively, and the road could take you on a path of brainstorming but, used negatively, could lead to rebellions, selfish behavior.   A time of lots of volatility in the markets. During this time metals tend to have strong pullbacks.

There is a Geomagnetic storm in place again, expect results of these in the next few days. Read in previous blog article about their effect.

Tarot insight:  Today’s card The World, heralds the arrival of your heart's desire, whatever that may be, a time of achievement, recognition, success and triumph. This card signals a time of enjoyment, a fulfilling relationship is on offer and spoiling yourself with the material things you've been wanting. The World also marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Don't be lacking in vision or feel insecure, success will soon be yours.

Sun / Uranus today - there’s a lot of nervous tension in the air. You might feel as if you are being hit by thunderbolts from all directions. These could also cause a few intuitive flashes. A lot of electricity is in the air.  If you are feeling uninspired and powerless, be careful not to make bad decisions without careful thought, the apple cart is bound to tip and create a big mess.  Markets will be very choppy due to this aspect.

Mercury has moved to Libra and communications shift toward making peace. Hardships could result from cold thinking and a frozen heart, unless we make a genuine effort to find warmth and compassion

Tarot insight for today :The Moon card represents fear. When The Moon appears you can be sure it will be a time of highly charged emotions and confusion . However painful the negative emotions, or emotional situation, might be it it is always terrifying to break out from a habitual way of being.

Fear creates illusion. When frightened we are more likely to imagine the worst. Moonlight literally takes away all of the colour from life and leaves us only with black and white.

When we experience the fear of the Moon card we need to take courage, and tread our own path, for only we know, in our own hearts, what is right for our highest good. The Moon will illuminate the way, even if the path you are on is tough.

Happy Fall Equinox to eveyone. Day and Night are equally balanced at this time, so is our ability to find and create peace. Seasons change, and we must do the same.  It has the reputation of being an important turn dates in the markets.

Mars also trines Uranus today, it’s all about doing the work and creating the future that we want. This aspect allows doors to open in our relations with others, good communications, intellectual processing, writing, brainstorms, creating, and researching information. So take advantage of this.

Tarot insight:  Today’s card is The Star.  It signals good times for many things, you will take the first step on the right path, but it must be accompanied by action for it to be a true success. It urges you to be inspired, motivated and encourages you to make your dreams a reality.
It is a great indicator that things are set to improve for you and you should be looking forward in anticipation to positive events.  

Today we have the effects of recent solar flare activity.  This can cause us to be nervous, worrisome, jittery, dizzy, shaky, irritable, lethargic, exhausted, have short term memory problems and heart palpitations, feel nauseous, queasy, and to have prolonged head pressure and headaches. The interesting fact about this energy is that since it is of a higher frequency it creates the power of instant manifestation of our thoughts, which means whatever we think, we create instantly.  The solar flares can break apart old patterns of thought that are no longer needed so new ones can emerge. This can make us feel hyper and exhausted all at the same time. It can also wreak havoc with technology such as computers as well as with stock markets.

If you have any doubts about Astrology the upcoming Mars/Uranus activity should knock that right out your head as it brings about quick changes with major energy.

Tarot insight:   When looking at the Tower card, you are most likely to think, thats it, im doomed!  This card can certainly make you freeze with fear and even though it is actually a problem card,  it  will create new opportunities and make you stronger and wiser.

The Tower represents sudden change, downfall, disruption and upheaval of events, but it also brings  re-evaluation and necessary change which can sometimes be a blessing in disguise.

The main thing to remember with this rather unpleasant card is that this phase will pass and that a new direction or new opportunities can be created from it.

Luna will spend the day in emotional Cancer.   With the upcoming equinox,  there is an indication  that  a lot of tension is in the air.

The Moon will be moving through Cancer and will square first  Venus and then Saturn, there’s a lot of potential for frustration and misunderstanding today.

So if you think fishing is the answer, be prepared, the sky follows you everywhere!

Tarot insight:   Today is ruled by the Devil, a difficult card to interpret by some. In practice we experience this as bad habits and feelings of guilt.

All of us have a tendency to fall back on habitual behaviour when we feel stuck or unhappy. A vicious cycle is set up because the more we fall back into habit the more guilt we experience, and the more guilt we experience the more we require the habit to sooth us.  So be aware of this.

Today the Moon is also in its third quarter phase.  It follows the disseminating moon, which is the high, fun point of the entire lunar cycle where, everything comes up roses and is a blast. But it ends. Then comes the third quarter; the party's over . What you learn at the third quarter is some significant degree of failure, and that humbles you and brings you down to earth again.

Our ability will be challenged by the ego as Luna squares Sun later on today, but harmony will resume once again as she trines gentle Neptune. Moon will enter protective Cancer this evening, when it will be a good idea to lock in your profits and reap your rewards. Warm, loving gestures are favorable, such as sharing from the heart and opening our emotions to others. The cardinal energies can create a powerful flow for business and our duties. Later this evening, Moon squares shocking Uranus, which can spike highly unpredictable behavior. What we want, may not necessarily be what we get.

Greetings everyone,

On Friday, Sept. 16th, the planet Pluto ends its retrograde cycle and turns direct. This can bring a serious tone to matters and a dose reality. Any issues that may be brewing underneath the surface in the subconsious, often become more conscious to you around this time. So don't hide or run away from your feelings or avoid taking a serious look at things in your life. This is the first step towards healing and transformation. The second step, says start taking steps towards the attainment of your goals.

During the weekend of the 16th, this is a weekend to lay low and avoid getting into confrontations with others. More time and space in personal relationships may be a good thing this weekend as well.

On Sunday evening, Sept. 18th, more light brightens the scene when Mars leaves the sign of Cancer, a weak sign for Mars, and enters the sign of Leo . The planet Mars symbolizes action, drive, and desire. This is a more extroverted, passionate, and creative sign for Mars to transit, so get out of your shell and start taking some risks and having more fun too. This can help you boldly step in the direction towards your dreams with confidence .

On Friday, Sept. 23rd is the Fall equinox when the Sun crosses the equator as it enters the sign of Libra. The day and night will be of equal duration.  The "Libra principle" is all about balance and harmony, and forming meaningful relations with others.

On Sept. 25th, Mercury will also enter Libra joining the Sun, Venus and Saturn in Libra. So a total of four planets will be transiting Libra through October 8th. This time period will be quite complimentary with Mars' transit through Leo as the fire and air elements are very compatible with each other. This can help bring more relationship harmony, creative and artistic expression, and more peace and resolution to any matters you are presently confronting.
