| EVERY
MONTH I do an AstroTarot forecast for each of the 12 signs
of the Zodiac. In order to create this forecast, I sit in front of a
picture of the Zodiacal Wheel, meditate, and mindfully pick a card for
each Sign. I then place the "pulled card" back in the deck
and re-shuffle for each Sign, so it’s possible that more than
one Sign may have the same card.
These
monthly forecasts are a reading of the energies surrounding your life
according to your Astrological Sun Sign. You may want to also want to
read the card drawn for your Ascendant (Rising) and your Moon Sign,
as well, since they are also influential forces in your psyche.
Readings
of any sort are energetic snapshots, and as such, you always have the
free will to make different choices. These readings are general in scope,
and are basically showing you the landscape of your current situation
and life path. As co-creator and artist of your life, you may choose
to paint yourself in a different role as you become more conscious,
as well as those with whom you interact on a daily basis. Both Astrology
and Tarot are powerful Archetypal tools for discernment, and combining
them will give you a uniquely personal perspective. The monthly AstroTarot
Forecasts provide a general picture that may be used for meditation
and inquiry, and I trust they’ll provide you with practical insights
you will be able to use throughout the month.
In order
to create these forecasts I use The Quest Tarot by Joseph
Ernest Martin. I hope you enjoy this experience.

ARIES
9 of Stones:
Material Gain
This month you’ll be enjoying the fruits of your
labors, fiery Aries. You’ve worked hard, diligently sowing
seeds for your continued success, so pat yourself on the back
for a job well done. Take stock of your personal kingdom, and
feel the joy of your creation. You’ll continue to have good
business sense, so make those decisions with confidence. Spend
some time out in nature, especially if you’ve been doing
a lot of work indoors. Re-connect with the Earth this month. Gardening,
riding on an ATV, hiking, and camping are all good outlets to
help you remember your connection to the Earth.

| TAURUS
9 of Stones: Material
Gain
Earth Taurus, you, too, are in a position of resting
on your laurels this month! Saturn, your chart ruler, is often
the taskmaster—not to mention the master of delay. This
month will have you feeling like the floodgates have been opened,
with all those wishes, sometimes sown in tears, finally manifesting
in the material realm. Look for improvement of health issues,
and a general sense of well-being. A sense of security will permeate
your being, bringing a knowing that you’re safely cradled
in the hands of Mother Earth. Buy some candles, indulge in aromatherapy
and luxurious pillows, and enjoy a bit of sensual pleasures, especially
in your personal space.

| GEMINI
5 of Stones: Material
Difficulty
Fear of the unknown is a senseless fear, if you think
about it. In fact, fear slows our vibration and we then tend to
attract that which vibrates at the same level. Einstein once said
that a problem cannot be solved at the level it was created. Pay
attention to how you’re feeling this month, Airy Gemini,
particularly about issues such as abundance. Shift your focus
on what you want in life—those things that excite you, spark
your creativity, and bring you hope. Perspective is everything,
and how you view a situation will define your experience. A powerful
remedy for a poverty mindset is thankfulness: this month, count
your blessings. In fact, create a gratitude journal and write
down 5 things, every day, that you’re thankful for. Your
vibration will begin to quicken, and you’ll begin to realize
that, truly, there is enough for everyone - more than
enough.

| CANCER
Heirophant (Reversed): Tradition
Watery Cancer, realize that the creators and preservers
of tradition are spin doctors, of sorts. In order to maintain
the structure that was created, those in charge of traditional
institutions will often do what is necessary to keep the status
quo. However, you can choose to opt out of the game. If you like
the game, remember that it’s their rules. You can
always choose to unplug from an institution and walk your own
unique path. Institutions are best as servants of mankind, not
its masters. Remember: all great truths were once considered heresy
by the ruling parties of the day. If you’re going to be
a heretic, do so with gusto! After all, God colors outside the
lines all the time.

| LEO
8 of Cups:
Failure
If you’re feeling emotionally drained this month, fiery
Leo, then pull back a bit for some solitude. Plans for fun and
social activities are likely to have glitches this month, anyway,
so have a backup plan for a “party of one”. You may
find yourself at a crossroads soon, but wait until your emotional
reserves are up to part before you tackle the big decisions. The
fork in the road will still be there, so not to worry. Remember
to be your own best friend this month, as well as the idea “this,
too, shall pass”.

VIRGO
7 of Cups (Reversed): Illusions
of Success
There’s nothing wrong with building castles in
the air, earthy Virgo, but remember to have foundations laid
under them! This month is a time for determination and willpower,
as well as seeing with realistic eyes. Do what you need to do,
and trust the results to the Universe. If you’ve lost
sight of what’s really important to you, now’s the
time to take stock and prioritize.
|
| LIBRA
The High Priestess: Meditation
Airy Libra, it looks like The High Priestess is your
patron archetype for yet another month! Continue to see with the
“eyes of the heart”, and sit at the feet of intuition.
Feminine wisdom and the Divine Mystery within has much to teach
you…much more than mere reason, “facts”, and
intellect. You may be tempted, at times, to rationalize and reach
for familiar mental coping strategies, but trust this process
of honing your sixth sense.

SCORPIO
4 of Cups: Mixed
Emotions
Watery Scorpio, things may be looking same-o, same-o
from where you’re standing. “Am I repeating the
same day?” you may think. Everyone finds themselves in
the doldrums at one time or another, although that’s hardly
consolation for you right now. You’re used to having a
plan, and then executing it. Apathy isn’t the norm for
you, so no wonder this state feels so ill-fitting. If you’re
feeling bored, or worse, intimidated by the future, make sure
you’re taking some down time and using it wisely. Things
aren’t as bad as they look, so take heart. Remember to
<i>breathe</i>…deeply. Breath work will be
very beneficial to you this month. Pay attention to your solar
plexus area and scan yourself every so often to see if you’re
holding your breath and holding tension. A great exercise is
inhale slowly and deeply to the count of 7…then exhale
to the count of 7.

| SAGITTARIUS
The
Hermit : Reflection
Now’s the time to go within and seek solitude,
fiery Sagittarius. The wisdom you offer others will be hollow
unless it’s backed up with hard-won self-truth. It’s
time to light your own lantern, and to hear the Divine for yourself.
Yesterday’s manna isn’t good enough; in fact, it rots
after 24 hours. Seek the Divine, and commune with Spirit, on a
daily basis. No more lip service: it’s time for some internal
follow-through.

CAPRICORN
Father of Stones: Guardian
This month you’ll be focusing on qualities such
as loyalty and integrity, earthy Capricorn. If you don’t
have a pet, consider what one may add to your life. If you’re
an animal lover, get in tune with the wisdom of these wise creatures.
Pay attention to the animals and birds that cross your path.
Ask them what they want to teach you. By your fruits you will
be known, so don’t fret if you’re not all that communicative.
Your significant others know you have a heart of gold. Continue
to believe in yourself—and others.
|
| AQUARIUS
Father of Stones: Guardian
Look for some kind of promotion or increase in abundance
this month, airy Aquarius. If you have any decisions to make,
allow yourself a few days to think it through. Continue to enjoy
the journey, and the next thing you know, your goals will be standing
right in front of you! Take time to connect with nature, and spend
some extra time snuggling with your pet. Animals will prove very
healing for you this month, and are wonderful stress relievers!
|
PISCES
Son of Swords: Fairness
You’ll be able to see things that others will
miss, watery Pisces. Your keen eye and sharp intellect will
serve you well this month. Events may seem to move particularly
fast, so make sure you’re taking care to have balance
in your life. Leadership qualities will be cultivated this month,
and you’ll be fair in your dealings with others, especially
subordinates. Innovative ideas and strategies will be plentiful,
so be sure to write them down in a journal—when you’re
not out executing them, that is! Also, pay attention to your
dreams and flashes of insight; you’ll find them invaluable
in the future, especially in regards to fulfilling your career
goals.
