Tarotscope for Scorpio, 2015

Scorpio 2015

Four of Swords—In January, dear Scorpio, you may find that the stresses of 2014 continue to weigh heavily on your shoulders. There’s no shame in taking some time off for a well-needed rest. Treat yourself to a day at the spa or a night out on the town. If you’re worried someone might get a one up on you at work, keep a cell phone close so you don't feel like you're missing anything important. But drama? Who has time for that! Not you. You got this. You’re on the right path, you’re doing the right thing. Sometimes it’s just more important to take a little time to enjoy the more relaxing things life has to offer.

Ace of Swords—With rest comes clarity, and renewed vision. In February it’s time to move ahead with full determination. Whatever it is you’re focused on (job, home, relationship) you’ve come from a place of deep introspection—maybe you even took some time to recall what made you happy as a child—and now the Universe is ready to sprinkle a little magic dust to gild all those fabulous dreams of yours. Let it.

Four of Pentacles—What’s love got to do with it, Scorpio? A lot, apparently. You’re deep in emotion, so deep you feel imprisoned. You hold tight, you struggle, and all you can see is what you’ll lose, not what you had or what’s left to gain. It’s time to let go and trust. True love always sticks around—or comes with you on the beautiful journey called life. If it's meant to be . . .

Two of Swords—In April you know what you want, but there’s an inner conflict. Does everything you desire really have to be locked up behind a golden door? Conditions are perfect to manifest exactly what you want, Scorpio, if only you can battle those inner demons and believe.

Knight of Rods—Is there a fiery man (or woman) in your life that is all talk and action? In May when the clouds are full of rain, you’ll notice life becomes a million times brighter when this special person comes around. He makes you happy, he makes you dream of a wonderful future. Dream? This guy, or gal, just might have the ability to make it so.

Nine of Pentacles—Life is full of opulence in June. Beautiful flowers, delicious food, the best of the best. At least that’s how you see it, and why not? If you feel like royalty on the inside, expect the outside to follow along. It’s because you’ve worked so hard, dear Scorpio, and you deserve it.

Wheel of Fortune—Even in the best of situations, there’s trouble to be found. You can ignore all that, but better yet, why not find a way to face your problems straight on? In July, take charge of trouble and show it to the door. Tomorrow you’ll be on top again.

Four of Cups—In August you’re wondering if things can get better. They can. Someone’s about to make you an offer of Heavenly proportions. Will you take it? If the decision is too overwhelming, take a little time to consider all facets of the situation. Then, dear Scorpio, go for it!

The Devil—You knew this was coming. It twisted your gut and made all the blessings of the recent past take on a verdigris tarnish. In September your thoughts may turn to difficult issues of family or love. If someone has you under their control and you feel as if all you ever do is hold ground (and just barely), then maybe it’s time to reconsider what is healthy and what is downright sick. Love isn’t always easy, Scorpio, but shouldn't it at least make you feel good?

The High Priestess—In October you need to take heed of those little ‘knowing’ signals you get whenever you think about or come near a certain individual. You know who they are, and you know that this is not the time to lower your guard. Take heed, Scorpio. If it feels like a lie, it’s probably a lie.

Queen of Rods—A fire-sign woman (or man) is turning out to be just what you wanted—and needed. She’s independent, energetic, and most importantly, she makes you laugh. In November, when things start to look a little dreary, you’ll find someone who brings you friendship . . . or love. Or maybe even both.

Ten of Rods—In December, it could be that you’re close to something wonderful, but the finish line hasn’t yet come into sight. You know it’s there, and that you’re close. So why give up? The answer is: don’t.  Carry that heavy load, Scorpio. It's leading you to something wonderful. You’re stronger than you think!

In conclusion, 2015 looks to be the year Scorpio shows how strong they really are. Introspective, deep, intelligent—you are one of the most resilient signs of the zodiac. You show ultimate wisdom and intuition. Your soul runs deep. Remember to take time to connect with nature, whether life is at its highest peak of greatness or lowest pinnacle of frustration. Remember to breathe and come back to your center. In doing so, you'll find a strength once hidden and now undeniable.

I hope you have a wonderful year, Scorpio! Peace.

Symbols

Today as I took my daily walk around the park, I saw a white feather on the path and then later a bird that had died, the color of black. I've seen the bird numerous times and always felt a sort of sadness and gloom, gloom because in the past they have symbolized to me unfortunate events coming in the near future. Of course, now I know through tarot that a symbol of death is never a bad omen so much as an indicator of coming change. Rebirth. Today I saw the white feather, and it was a reminder that I was protected by the angels and all things of the Divine. Many people miss or brush these off as coincidental or insignificant, but for me they are reminders of the very things I've been coming across in my spreads. I can be quite insecure about my own readings, tacking the cards off as, "Well, that probably won't come to pass," or "I was influencing the reading with my own negativity." The reason I, and others, do this is denial and fear.

So, speaking of change, how do you explain these things to the other people in your peripheral, such as family members, loved ones and friends? It's not going to come across very well to explain that you've been told one karmic situation has been completed and the next must be embarked upon. They will, most likely, call you crazy. And I do understand that. But here's the thing, in my experience the cards are not revealing any great secrets. The things they tell you, you already know. And other people know as well. I know deep in the marrow that I've changed drastically and can no longer pretend I am the same person as two years ago. I feel it. I live it. But that emotional chain is so strong—invisible as it may be. That old adage a father would tell to his child: 'If you really love it, you'll set it free,' doesn't seem to apply to humans. We think we own each other. The problem is, the Universe does not work in the same manner, and in fact abhors ownership. When it knows someone has reached and completed a karmic cycle, it will do everything to enact change, even if that person (and the people they are involved with) insist on holding on.

To the Universe, life is a river. It goes one direction, and one direction only. It does not stop, back up and turn the other way. It does not fight the current. It flows. It is completely unnatural to the spirit world to go against the current of change. Repeating the same karmic cycle over and over again is stupid and stressful and like a million pounds of gravity strapped to the chest. The Universe will find a way to make things happen, be it drastic change or minimal change. But there will be change.

So, a white feather and a dead bird were put in my path to remind me that stubborn is stupid, and change is the flow of life. If you are reading this, you're probably supposed to think about it too.

Tarotscope for Sagittarius, 2015

Sagittarius 2015

The Fool—No one puts Baby in a corner, right Sagittarius? That includes the way you think, the way you act, and where (and how) you want to work. This January, break free from tradition and do something that truly makes you feel happy, and a little bit unconventional.

The Empress—If someone were to describe perfection, it would be spending an entire day in nature with the person you love. The forest, an old dirt road, tending the garden. You love Mother Earth, and she loves you! In February, it may be cold outside, but there’s a lush and beautiful meadow in your heart.

Queen of Pentacles—In March, you are either dealing with an earth-sign woman, or a money matter. Or both. Something has been taken away, and—I’m sorry to say, Sagittarius—you may never get back whatever was taken (your heart, your cash) in full. The best you can do is speak your mind and let it go. Leave the rest for karma.

The Hanged Man—If an old issue is weighing you down, Sagittarius, the best thing to do is count your blessings and wait for better days. Who says you have to be miserable? Who says you can’t have a small get-together—even if it’s just you and one or two close friends? In April, take the time to celebrate the best of what (and who) you have. Probably more than you know!

Nine of Pentacles—Most people think of harvest as being in the fall, but for you, dear Sagittarius, it comes in the spring. Every blossom and blade of grass feeds your soul, stocks your senses, and fills the pantry of your existence. In May, not only will you be re-introduced to your old friend Mother Earth, but you will have the kind of success in business that allows you the time, and peaceful frame of mind, to enjoy it!

Wheel of Fortune—If life were a Ferris wheel, you would be that one unlucky person to get stuck two cars from the bottom every single time. In the month of June, you will finally get the chance to spin upwards to the top. If it’s love or relationships, things will be grand. The view is splendid, and not a cloud is in sight.

Nine of Rods—Okay, so the wheel went up, and the wheel came down. Life is like that sometimes. But you are strong and can hold off any opposing forces. If it’s gossip, family drama, or someone close to your heart, remember that it’s not always about you. It’s about other people learning the art of personal space and respect. Tell them that you need it, lots of it, and if they can’t give it to you, you might just walk out the door.

Seven of Rods—The battle rages on and on. In August, it might be time to ask yourself just how long you’re willing to fight, and how much you’re willing to lose. Sometimes we fight for things and issues that are worth much less than the effort. Is it truly worth it?

Death—One thing about death is, it’s never death. It’s always rebirth. So, if there is a situation this September that feels like it has come to an end, perhaps it’s time to step back and let it happen. Whatever passes may yet return to you fresh and new, and gloriously better. Don’t stand in the way of change. Embrace it.

Eight of Pentacles—By allowing the old to transform into the new, Sagittarius, you have opened the doors for hope and opportunity. You were hobbling around in old boots, afraid to get your socks wet, and now you own a fresh clean pair and can walk anywhere you want. In October, the world’s your oyster!

The High Priestess—Something tells life me is about to get too good to believe. Suddenly all the right things are going your way. Any blocks and dead ends are now gone. Why? Because you’re a good person, Sagittarius. You are kind to people, and you do things with your heart, not with your wallet. In November, the Universe would like reward you. So, don’t rub your eyes and question why, open your arms and answer, yes.

Two of Rods—In December, you’re going to get a present that can’t be wrapped. There isn’t a bow big enough to top it off. It’s just so huge and wonderful that you might walk right past it without even knowing it’s yours. For you. It may be love, or work, or both. Believe, Sagittarius. Believe, and be grateful.

In 2015, Sagittarius, there will be some days where you feel vulnerable and ready to flee whatever has you bound. It’s okay to break free, as long as you know what it is you’re were meant to learn from the situation before leaving. If you refuse to learn, you’ll have to do it over again and again . . . And as for vulnerability, embrace it. Don’t scorn it. Your softer side is your greatest asset, and eventually, will bring you many blessings.

Happy 2015! Peace.

Tarotscope for Libra, 2015

Libra 2015

Five of Pentacles—In January, dear Libra, you may feel as if the world is on one side of a wall, and you’re on the other. On the one side is joy and happiness; music and an abundance of love. On your side, nothing but soda tabs and spent cigarettes. Perhaps you’re feeling as if there’s not enough love, and it could be that a union you once enjoyed has crumbled into ruins. You could wallow forever, or you could take stock of all the wonderful things, and people, that you do still have in your life.

Five of Rods—In February, you’re struggling to make something happen, but it’s evolving in its own time without any regards to your own. Perhaps it’s your destiny you wish to control, but things are moving slowly. Remember, Libra, good things come to those who wait.

Page of Cups—It’s March and the grass is getting greener, the days longer, but languishing in nature is the last thing you care to do. Matters of the heart have put a cloud over your head and all you can see is a dark, muddy existence. Someone is acting young and irresponsible, and you are considering leaving for good. There’s been too much heartache, stress, deception and loneliness. Libra, no one would blame you if you walked out that door.

Three of Rods—In April, there are new opportunities to explore. Creativity is available, and a fresh start too. It may not be easy at first, but if you make the effort, there’s a chance for wonderful new growth!

Seven of Pentacles—Do you ever feel that you’re not getting what you deserve, Libra? That other people who work much less than you get more recognition for their miserly efforts? Well, the month of May could bring the rewards you so seek (and have earned through considerable effort). The point is, you’re good at what you do, and the Universe has decided to let you know.

Eight of Pentacles—June could well turn out to be one of those months where you not only get to do what you love, but find prosperity as a result. Now isn’t that a nice way to exist?

Queen of Rods—In July, there’s a fire-sign woman who would like to assist you on the road to success. This is all about female power, journeys, and far off destinations. She sees much more in you than you could ever dream of. Maybe take some time to listen to her ‘bourgeois’ brainstorming. There just might be some fantastic truth in the ideas she entertains.

Ace of Pentacles—Libra, this August you are, quite literally, on top of the world! If a grand opportunity, especially one of the financial sort, presents itself, do yourself a favor and take it! The thing is, your angels and spirit guides have done a lot of work to make it happen and they will continue to assist you through any troubles along the way. Instead of questioning why me, for just this once, ask yourself . . . why not me?

Temperance—In September you might come upon a situation where you feel confined. Work, home, friendship . . . if there’s something that has you feeling stuck, take some time to ponder if there’s an escape route, and if so, ask yourself whether or not you should consider taking it.

King of Swords—October is your birth month, Libra, so it’s no surprise you’d make an appearance in your very own reading! You are smart, balanced, fair-minded, and creative. Use this month to recharge from any past difficulties, and just celebrate the wonderfulness of being you!

The Fool—November asks you to make a fresh start with any endeavors you wish to explore. Every morning is a new chance for greatness. Every night is a culling of what didn’t work, so that what did can cultivate and thrive. Be brave and fearless, Libra!

Queen of Pentacles—No one knows how to balance work, home and pleasure like you. December may well be one of those months where your greatest asset is put to the test. An earth-sign female (or male) might come into your life. Will you put their advances off in lieu of end-of-year work projects or maybe some last minute shopping? Is there time in your life for love, dear Libra? No matter what, or who, lands on your list of activities, you’ll manage quite well.

Libra, you have the power to adapt to any circumstance. Like a cloud, you can shift and change according to whichever way the wind blows. You also have many blessings, both seen and unseen. In 2015, have faith that life will move fluid and easy!

Happy 2015, Libra. Peace!

Tarotscope for Virgo, 2015

Virgo 2015

Six of Pentacles—You open the year with a nice promotion at work and/or financial recognition for a job well done. You are in complete harmony with all that you do and it’s starting to show. An additional card was the Six of Rods. In fact, this entire reading is crowned by the number six. It means victory, movement, and being in the right place and the right time. Good for you, Virgo! What a way to start the year!

The World—Think big. How far would you go if the chance presented itself? A mile, a few miles, another city . . . another country? Or perhaps your work will reach a new demographic. An opportunity such as this will come about in the month of February. Lucky you!

Six of Swords—Sometimes the urge to get up and run tickles the soles of your feet. In March, you might just get the chance to fulfill the wanderlust that lives and breathes inside of you. It could be overseas; it could be in the same town but at a different residence. Pack your things, Virgo.

Five of Swords—Sometimes when life gets exciting, the doubt settles in. Am I good enough? Do I deserve this? In April, dear Virgo, you may find yourself asking too many questions, and second-guessing your every motive. Things start, and then just stop. You’re not sure if you can do this. Well, you can.

The High Priestess—When it comes to money, you’re not frivolous. When other people are trading their Friday afternoon paycheck for Friday night delights, you’re divvying yours into several online accounts. In May, an issue might come up concerning your finances. Watch out for any scams that might come your way. If it sounds too good to be true, Virgo, it most likely is. Use your intuition about the matter, and you’ll be just fine.

Strength—No one can say you aren’t savvy. You work hard and you take care of every detail in the most meticulous way. In June, all that you do will be solid and secure, just the way you like it.

Temperance—In July, your business acumen will be traded for matters of love. Sometimes a relationship can bring us pain, sometimes pleasure, but it’s worth the effort if both of you devote yourself to the cause. This can go two ways, Virgo. Someone might break your heart, or maybe you’re the one wielding the first sword. Either way, take it easy. See both sides if you can.

The Hanged Man—In August you feel like you need a vacation. You’ve just about worked yourself to death, and things seem to be moving so . . . slow. If there are projects you’re waiting on, or that can be put aside, why not take a vacation? This would be the month to do it.

Ten of Rods—It’s already been said that you’re a hard worker, Virgo. When other people are slacking off, you’ve already finished the day’s objectives. But sometimes that steely application can get the best of you. Look, the result you want is in sight, so it’s not a matter of if, it’s just a matter of when. Do you want to stress yourself out over this, or actually enjoy what you’re doing—at least, enough to parlay some of that backache and Excedrin inducing drive that you possess? In September, I suggest you chant these words during your morning shave: I am not Superman. I am not Superman.

The Hierophant—In October it’s important for you to remember what those little sign posts along the road are all about, you know, the ones that say: Speed Limit and Stop. Sometimes you drive too fast and you fool yourself that you’re not going to get caught. This is not the month to be reckless, Virgo, in love or on the road. Watch your actions!

Six of Cups—You always want to be someplace better than the place you are now, and in some ways, you want everything to be just the way things used to be. There’s a major dichotomy in what you want, Virgo, yet settling isn’t a word you particularly enjoy. In November, you can still have the past and the future and stick them smack dab into what you have now. It’s called, inner calm. It’s also called, acceptance.

The Tower—In December, something’s going to rattle you, Virgo. If you have any inkling of what it is, the effect will be easier to deal with. If you’ve been insisting that life is perfect, the shockwave will knock you off your feet. Be grateful for your life and the people you share it with. Don’t live in glass abodes. Always have an escape plan. But more than anything, know that the Universe only gives us what we need. Whether large scale, or model scale, this is doable and you will survive.

So, 2015 will have its good moments and its not-so-good moments, but through it all you will remain vigilant. If something seems off, your gut will send a warning signal. If anyone tries to pull the wool over your eyes, you’ll brush them aside. And when it comes to opportunity, you not only will receive them, but create them. It’s all in your hands, Virgo!

I wish you a Happy 2015. Peace!

Tarotscope for Leo, 2015

Leo 2015

The Emperor—The year may have started fresh and new like a clean handkerchief, but there’s old crud to deal with, dear Leo. You might find yourself once again dealing with a tyrant, a dictator. He thinks he knows best, and he wants to keep you under his gold-threaded wraps. But only you know what’s right and what you must no longer put up with. It’s only a matter of time before one of you sees the truth (and pays their karmic debt).

Ten of Swords—Leo, Leo, if there were more than ten swords to put in your back, a water-sign male wouldn’t feel one bit bad about doing it. You can’t win this battle. Take what you can, and find a way to escape. This is as bad as it can get. In February find peace and seek higher ground. You don’t deserve this.

Nine of Cups—The universe wants to send you a message, Leo. You can. You will. It’s all possible. This March, find the time to manifest your deepest, most heartfelt desire. What if it really came true? And worse, what if you didn’t even try . . .

Seven of Cups—Things are a little foggy, a little gray. It’s April and storms will come and go. Storms always bring flowers. Have you ever thought about going somewhere, Leo? If so, it could be great. The greatest. Don’t let anyone talk you out of it, or block your way. This is doable. You were meant for greener, and sunnier, pastures.

Three of Pentacles—In May, it’s possible that whatever you’ve crafted from pure, delicious inspiration, will be discovered and admired. What a nice change!

Two of Pentacles—It’s all about balance, Leo. In June, you might find yourself tackling more than one project at a time. Finances are tricky and you’re not sure if you can withstand the pressure. But they do call you the Lion after all. You’re tough, you’re tenacious. I say you’ll make it work.

Five of Rods—If you carry a heavy object but can see the destination, you’re probably going to make it. You will make it. You’ve made it this far, and no matter how long the path, how heavy the load, you’re going to reach your destination. Don’t quit. In the end, the payoff will be spectacular. This July, your birth month, is all about proving the impossible. And you will.

Eight of Pentacles—When you concentrate on something you love doing, the end result doesn’t even matter. In August, it’s as if you are on a cloud of your own, and the money you earn falls like rain. Plink, plink.

The Lovers—Sometimes love is the good kind, sometimes bad. If it takes too much work, and there’s nothing but heartache to show for it, it’s probably the latter. In September, you might find yourself dealing with a person whose romantic intentions leave more arrows than air kisses. Watch out!

Five of Pentacles—Out in the cold again? Wishing you had what he has, and she has, and they have? If you walk past a restaurant window and see filet mignon and lobster bisque, it might make you feel destitute. So walk past a McDonald’s once in a while. There, now you’re king.

The Magician—Remember when Ron Weasley had to use a broken wand and Hermione was forced to follow behind, fixing all his messed-up spells? If life feels a little wonky, remember that you do have the power to ‘Hermione’ yourself into some excellent magic, Leo. This November, it’s all possible.

Ace of Wands—You are a star, Leo. But then, you already knew that. In December, you have the Universe behind you in the most wonderful way. You could write the world’s next best song, a best-selling novel, or maybe you’ll beat Glenda out of the top spot at the next Avon marketing meeting. It’s fire, it’s now, and it’s perfect for someone like you. Think big.

So, Leo, 2015 was a huge year for you. All the Major Arcana cards tell me something important: your evolution from downtrodden to awesome is destined to be. It’s in the Universe’s hands, and they will make it happen. So . . . try not to fight too hard along the way.

Have a wonderful 2015! Peace.

Tarotscope for Cancer, 2015

Cancer 2015

Queen of Pentacles—In the month of January, Cancer might well be languishing in things luxurious and abundant. Bath oils, nice clothing, gift cards for their favorite restaurant. Or perhaps they are reaping the rewards of a home-based business. It’s a time of being grounded and seeing the rewards of good ideas, good effort, and just anything  . . . good!

Ace of Pentacles—If you thought it couldn’t get better, you were wrong. In February, Cancer will once again be hauling in the swag. Aces are seeds of prosperity, but they can also be the windfall of something desired. Maybe it’s money you want, or a fresh start in life. Aces can also be secret wishes of the soul. Like, a healthy salad instead of a greasy burger. The Universe knows what you want and what you need, and this month, you’ll get it.

Death (Transformation)—March brings the end of something you’d grown all-too-comfortable with. Your life was looking like a worn-out couch, and sometimes action is needed. Maybe a relationship has gone far past its shelf date? It started a long time ago and has ingrained itself deep into your veneer. But is it really serving you the way it should? Does it still bring vitality to your existence? If not, then it’s time to wake up and break free from the chrysalis.

Knight of Wands—In April, there’s a new idea sizzling like a Fourth of July sparkler inside Cancer’s beautiful heads. They want to present it to the world, but must make sure it’s grounded in reality. They want it to work out, not fizzle out. If it’s about romance, Cancer would be well advised to take some time before committing themselves to any decision. This knight dashes in and out with the same speed as a bolt of lightning. Either way, it’s better to think now and act later.

Six of Swords—Someone’s planning on taking a trip in the month of May, a journey. It may be actual, or emotional, but if it leads to calmer waters, it’s a trip they must embark on. What remains that you haven't yet learned, Cancer?

The Star—There’s something sparkly about you. Luminescent. Is it the way you pose, like Marilyn Monroe under a theater marquee, or just an ‘otherworldly’ charm that can’t be explained? Whatever it is, Cancer, in June everything about you is radiant and beautiful. It’s heavenly.

Judgement—In July, the doors will open toward new possibilities, and it’s up to you if you want to cross through, or stay behind. Some people prefer learning life’s lesson over and over. Some prefer trying out newer avenues. Old lesson, new lesson? It’s up to you to decide. Anyone for leftovers?

Four of Cups—In August you might feel a little snoozy, Cancer. You’ve been taking in the sun, languishing in the waves, and now it’s time for a little nap. But wait, an opportunity that might benefit you shows up, and it’s good. What are you going to do? Take that nap, or reach for the cup of life?

Three of Cups—This card often stands out to me as a mother and her children, and all the happy times they’ve had together. If you have children, this is a reminder to enjoy the bonds you share—bonds that can never be broken in any eternal way. If it’s not about children, dear Cancer, maybe it’s friendship you cherish, or a joining of like minds in your community. Or maybe someone’s getting, or attending, a wedding. Could it be yours?

Seven of Cups—In September, there might be an array of choices at your disposal. What is it you really want, Cancer? Take some time to consider each one, but don’t let it confuse you. You might be experiencing some psychic ability. Or creative impulse. Each cup overflows with promise. Close your eyes and let it bloom.

Eight of Swords—If someone blindfolded you, led you into an elevator and spun you around, would you know how to get out when the doors opened? A door will open, Cancer. In October, you might be feeling a little trapped by someone, or something. But there is a way out.

King of Swords—Some people cut with steel, some with words. Words can be seen as swords—they leave internal scars. In December, you might deal with a man who can yield his words like razor-sharp objects. But maybe you prefer that. The truth is always better than lies. His message might be internal—your instinct is in fine form! If this is a real person in your life, he’s found a way to cut deep into the dark, pulsing sanctuary of your heart. It’s up to you if you want to let him in.

Cancer, your year looks to be full of success, love and spiritual growth. I’d say it’s almost perfect! Don’t be afraid to move on with every new level that presents itself. Take time to listen to your internal voice. It’s a goldmine!

Happy 2015, Cancer. Peace.
