For ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)

*THE FIVE of WANDS (reversed)*

Five brightly colored figures are matched against one another in some kind of contest. Each of these figures wields a wand and while there is great energy and motion apparent in this tableau, there is no indication of malice among these contestants. The ground beneath them is even to reflect a "level playing field" and the sky overhead is blue and cloudless.

(games, challenge, a need for teamwork, a passage or rite of passage)

They say "all's fair in love and war", Aries, but I think your definition of "fair" is a little more detailed than that. I am mentioning this because you have pulled a card from the Minor Arcana so it is all about the elemental correspondence of the suit in combination with the numerological significance of the card. In this case you are combining the energy of Wands (which are a reference to Physical Factors) with the energy of Fives (Which are a reference to Challenge). You should take note of another factor as well, this card is reversed. Now before you go off assuming the simplistic assessment that a reversed card is an indication that all you gotta do is take the normal interpretation and overturn the meaning, let me caution you that reversals are far more subtle than that. They may indicate a delay, or a block, or an internal (rather than external) manifestation. Indeed, reversals can be viewed in all of these ways, but they should almost never be seen as an automatic inversion of the standard connotation. There is, of course, a great deal of significance associated with the numerology of your draw to consider. The number 5 symbolizes the principle of multiplicity, progression, and passion. It signifies the need for change, variety, and new growth. It is a broadcaster, disseminating information and asking questions. It is a public number, outgoing, fast-moving, and mercurial. The 5 is active, daring, non-conventional, unpredictable, and attracted by the physical senses and indulgences. But it is also pragmatic, opportunistic and very persuasive. Five is a number which represents public service, or service to others. It is highly analytical with the ability to think critically, but this energy can sometimes over-ponder an issue to the point that its significance is no longer relevant. This number governs our ability to think clearly and our intellectual capacity. It is a multifaceted number with links to our state of physical and mental health as evidenced by the fact that much of our experience is based upon five senses, and we move through the world on feet equipped with five toes, and we manipulate things in the world using hands equipped with five fingers. Five is ruled by the planet Mercury and the astrological aspect of the quincunx. It is very communicative and witty on a light level. Because this number deals with the concept of communication, on a negative level deception can also be involved, so it is always best to double check for the facts... and... the facts for this moonphase are that there is a stacked deck somewhere in your world, and the universe and me want you to be fully aware that this is exactly what makes the present challenge a little less than fair... If you are interested in finding a way to even up the odds a little... come with me and we'll check out your chart for all the astrological indications of universal umpirage we can find...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 4th House detailing Domestic Lifestyle and Sense of Security will move your overall mood toward attention to happenings on the home-front while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 5th House embracing Entertainment and Leisure Pursuits, suggests that the enjoyment of your enjoyments is absolutely imperative. The presence of loving Venus in the company of energetic Mars in Your 6th House defining Daily Duties and Regular Routines, are an indication that finding more fun on a daily basis is another essential element of the horoscopic horizon. This is where the restrictions referenced by the relative restraint of Saturn moving in a direct direction through Your 7th House relating to Relevant Relationships might come into play, so, it may not to hurt to take a good long look at whether or not you are allowing unnecessary barriers to affect the way you relate to your most important personal relationships. The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 10th House covering Career, Status, Reputation, and Honor, could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 11th House containing the Causes You Champion and the Company You Keep. Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling personal initiation and action according to Your 1st House securing Self Image and First Impressions... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew all matters of personal presentation. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The reversed Five of Wands think it means that the challenge of the change you are facing now is all about how to be "fair" to everyone concerned... including yourself. The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to the way your private persona is impacted by your public image during this Moonphase will illuminate an inner need for an increase in outer recognition of all your efforts, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, Mars, moving through a corner of the cosmos covering your everyday environment. My Gramma used to say "Smooth seas don't make skillful sailors"... and this was her way of teaching me that challenges in life, and a willingness to meet them, was a sure pathway to growth, and skill, and increased ability. Opposition is a natural part of life, and just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition, like lifting weights, we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and embracing change. Me, the Universe, and The reversed Five of Wands are pretty certain that the secret to overcoming every challenge you think you are facing right now is to get started. The secret of getting started is breaking what may seem like complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then start right in on the first one. Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. You have a whole world full of wonderful opportunities to make your life more meaningful, Muffin ... so... you know... what are you gonna do about it?

This moonphase you will find:

This is what the Solar System looks like from your astrological point of view for this moonphase, but, of course, it isn't really to scale, or entirely accurate because the planets are actually moving a little bit all the time, aren't they?...

Sometimes it is helpful to refresh your own perspective a little by scanning the bold keywords to get a better idea of how each planet will express it's own particular energies as it travels through the different segments of the sky.

For TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)

*THE QUEEN of CUPS*

This white clad queen is seated upon a throne at the edge of a body of water. The ground beneath her feet is scattered with colorful shells and stones. Her throne is decorated with carvings of cherubs and fish. In her hand she holds a covered cup flanked with two winged figurines reminiscent of the figures guarding the Arc of the Covenant. The distant cliffs are unoccupied and the sky overhead is blue and cloudless.

(Fixed Water = Scorpio, materialistic, start of a journey, alot of little things adding up to something of substance, having everything material)

Follow your heart, Taurus. You have drawn a Court Card so I expect that you already know it speaks to things that can be defined by the astrological influence of the card (Fixed Water = Scorpio), or it can be about those people in your life who can be described by the personality traits attributed to the image (Queen of Cups = Feminine, emotional personality), or, it can even be the energies embodied in the draw through a combination of the rank of the card and the elemental correspondence of the suit (Queens = Caretakers, Cups = Emotional Events). Often, it can be a compilation of all those factors. One thing is certain though, and that is the message conveyed by the Queen of Cups which is almost always and invariably a gentle whisper of advice... to follow your heart. Numerologically speaking, Queens are ranked thirteenth among the cards of the Tarot. as a number thirteen, but because numerology is based on single digit analyses thirteen is reduced, (1+3=4), and is interpreted as a higher octave of the number four while still retaining overtones that come from being one more than twelve, the ancient number of completion. Thirteen is considered to signify the end of a cycle, as evidenced by the fact that there are thirteen lunar months in the year and thirteen signs in the Celtic and Native American systems of astrology. While thirteen foretells new beginnings, it also signifies that outmoded systems must come to an end to make way for much needed transformations. Number 13 is associated with death and rebirth. It signifies that although in the past you may have been constrained by outer circumstances (for example, poverty, disease, lack of freedom, or ignorance), you are now in a position to learn to persevere through difficulties to achieve a better life, to manage your life so that it is productive, and to break out of attitudes of stubbornness, rigidity, and pettiness. This number is augmented by the overtones of stability and structure represented by the reduced expression of the number four, and this is a darn good thing, because every issue you encounter in life can certainly benefit from increased steadiness and stability. The kind of "emotional stability" you have learned to trust... The kind of "emotional stability" that keeps you on course... The kind of "emotional stability" that says, in short... "follow your heart". Of course, if you want a little peek into just where following your heart is likely to lead you... well I think we can access a mystical map that will outline all the planetary pathways...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 3rd House connecting Commerce and Communication will move your overall mood toward attention to ideas and information while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 4th House detailing Domestic Lifestyle and Sense of Security, suggests that the preservation of something like a personal sanctuary is absolutely imperative. The presence of loving Venus in the company of energetic Mars in Your 5th House embracing Entertainment and Leisure Pursuits, are an indication that your emotional investment is another essential element of the horoscopic horizon. This is where the restrictions referenced by the relative restraint of Saturn moving in a direct direction through Your 6th House defining Daily Duties and Regular Routines might come into play, so, it may not to hurt to take a good long look at whether or not you are allowing unnecessary chores to come between you and your most important personal relationships. The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 9th House featuring Philosophy, Viewpoint, and Life-long Learning , could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 10th House covering Career, Status, Reputation, and Honor. Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling the potential power of your most secret dreams according to Your 12th House holding Hidden Impulses and Unconscious Urges... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew your inner visions. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The Queen of Cups think it means that there are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those. The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to the difference between a knowlege of understanding and an understanding of your knowlege during this Moonphase will illuminate the overall impact of your intuition, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, Venus, moving through a corner of the cosmos covering the pleasure of your pleasures. My Gramma used to say "if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it"... and this was her way of reminding me that the more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment. Anything less tha that is half-hearted, and half-hearted may as well be half-dead. Me, the Universe, and The Queen of Cups want you to listen to your heart, Honey ... Don't ask yourself what the world needs... ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive!

For GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)

*THE WORLD*

An androgynous figure at the center of a laurel wreath decorated at the top and bottom with ribbons that form the figure of the lemniscate, the symbol for infinity. At the four corners of this card are enigmatic faces, perhaps a bird, a calf, a lion and a man. It is suggested that these represent the creatures that announced the breaking of the four seals in the biblical book of Revelations.

(The End of a Cycle, all things combined, balance)

You have reached the end of this cycle, Gemini, and this means you can expect a new cycle to begin. You have drawn a card from the Major Arcana, so, as I may have mentioned before, this card is a reference to things of overarching importance to a particular point you have reached in your continuous life journey far more than it is a reference to the mundane matters of your day-to-day details. Step back a bit and get the broadest perspective on your life possible, please. Take a look at things from the "bird's eye view". What do you see? Accomplishment? A history of obstacles overcome and wisdom attained? This is exactly what I see too. This is because The World is the final card in the Tarot and is ranked, among the cards of the Major Arcana with the number 21. Because numerology is based on single digit analyses Tewnty One is reduced, (2+1=3), and is interpreted as a higher octave of the number Three, a number of Synergy. The number 3 symbolizes the principle of growth. When the initiating force of 1 unites with the germinating energy of 2 there is the synthesis of both to result in the synergy of 3. This influence is optimistic and fun-loving, and strives to uplift and color its surroundings. Its energy is enlivening, youthful, and enthusiastic. Three relates to expansiveness and learning through life experiences. It is considered to be lucky, and is often associated with money and good fortune. Three generally inspires people to join together to form a common goal, whether a social or professional affiliation. Although three possesses attributes of wisdom, understanding and knowledge, these qualities muct be fostered and nourished lest they "tip over" into the less positive expressions of pessimism, foolhardiness and unnecessary risk taking. Three is ruled by Jupiter and the astrological aspect of the trine, and is educated, wise, and happy. The acquistion or expenditure of money often features prominently in the number. There is usually a free flow of engery associated with this number, which indicates that both good and bad come easily to three. And... this influence is all over your draw. This is why you can see a history of accomplishment and obstacles overcome. Now you need to turn your attention to what will come next. What will the next cycle hold? Well... I'm not sure you can expect an exact map... but I'll bet you can feel out the firmament for the best possible planetary perception of this new phase you can expect to be encountering...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 2nd House involving Earnings, Income, Wealth, and Value will move your overall mood toward attention to material matters while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 3rd House connecting Commerce and Communication, suggests that attention to information and ideas will be absolutely imperative. The presence of loving Venus in the company of energetic Mars in Your 4th House detailing Domestic Lifestyle and Sense of Security, are an indication that a happy home-life is another essential element of the horoscopic horizon. This is where the restrictions referenced by the relative restraint of Saturn moving in a direct direction through Your 5th House embracing Entertainment and Leisure Pursuits might come into play, so, it may not to hurt to take a good long look at whether or not you are allowing unnecessary barriers to affect the way you find your fun. The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 8th House engaging Emergency Management and Crisis Control , could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 9th House featuring Philosophy, Viewpoint, and Life-long Learning . Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling personal initiation and action according to Your 11th House containing the Causes You Champion and the Company You Keep... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew all connections coming under the general heading of "common cause". So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The World think it means that it may be time to "take it to the next level". The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to the way manage matters of risk and reward during this Moonphase will illuminate the next series of steps necessary to prepare you for a new beginning, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, Mercury, moving through a corner of the cosmos covering ideas, information, contracts, and communication. My Gramma used to say "The same door says enter and exit on either side"... and this was her way of teaching me that every ending is also a beginning. Yesterday ended last night. Every day is a fresh start. And the next step is always right where you are now. Me, the Universe, and The World want you to remember that the world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning, Beauty ... so... get moving. You can't climb to the top by staring up the steps... you actually have to step up the stairs!

For CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)

*THE FIVE of SWORDS*

A battle has just been fought and the victor collects the spoils of this recent confrontation beneath a sky sheeted with dark clouds. In the distance two other figures retreat toward a turbulent sea. One of those figures is clearly distraught over the present situation.

(defeat, disloyalty, seeing events as they really are, not how we thought they were, hollow victory)

The battle may be over, Cancer, but I suspect that whole war is far from finished. I suggest this because you have pulled a card from the Minor Arcana so it is all about the elemental correspondence of the suit in combination with the numerological significance of the card. In this case you are combining the energy of Swords (which are a reference to Intellectual Issues) with the energy of Fives (Which are a reference to Challenge). The subject of "intellectual challenge" can take many faces. Sometimes it looks like a defiant child, sometimes like a keen competitor, or sometimes it can even appear to be a bitter enemy. This is the nature of "challenge" in general, and very much the nature of five in specific. The number 5 symbolizes the principle of multiplicity, progression, and passion. It signifies the need for change, variety, and new growth. It is the broadcaster, disseminating information and asking questions. It is a public number, outgoing, fast-moving, and mercurial. The 5 is active, daring, unconventional, unpredictable, and attracted by the physical senses and indulgences. It is pragmatic and opportunistic and very persuasive. Five is a number which represents service to others. It is highly analytical and has the ability to think critically, but can over-ponder an issue to the point that its significance is no longer relevant. This number governs our ability to think clearly and our intellectual capacity. It is a multifaceted number with links to our state of physical and mental health. Five is ruled by the planet Mercury and the astrological aspect of the quincunx. It is very communicative and witty on a light level. Because this number deals with the concept of communication, on a negative level deception can also be involved, so it is always best to double check for the facts. Sometimes an individual must make adjustments in order to fit in when this number is significant. And it is surely significant for you... unless I miss my guess... this number has found a way to your attention to let you know it's well past time for you to tackle the "intellectual challenge" indicated in your draw. This has been blocking your forward progress for far too long... so... I think you need to seek some astrological answers to this particular riddle right now...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you.

The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 7th House relating to Relevant Relationships, could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 8th House engaging Emergency Management and Crisis Control . Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling professional initiation and action according to Your 10th House covering Career, Status, Reputation, and Honor... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew all matters of public presentation. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The Five of Swords think it means that the secret of success right now is in finding a way not to take "it" personally... whatever "it" may be. The anticipated itinerary of your daily planetary ruler, The Moon, along the part of your chart pertaining to the way you relate to all of your relationships, from family and friends to competitors and collaborators during this Moonphase will illuminate an inner need for an increased sense of connection, and this should remind you who your real friends really are. My Gramma used to say "Use your enemy's hand to catch a snake."... and this was her way of teaching me that de-personalizing opposition is the best way to find use from it. Sure... you can waste lots of time and energy being bitter and hurt, but the point of your life is more about securing your own success and happiness, isn't it? Me, the Universe, and The Six of Swords are pretty sure that whatever opposition you encounter can seem pretty darn personal if you let it, but that would be a major mistake, Monkey ... so... don't waste any energy worrying about how to get even.... just get on with getting ahead!

This moonphase you will find:

For LEO
(July 23 to Aug 22)

*THE PAGE of PENTACLES*

A serious youth in a green tunic (representing material concerns) concentrating his fullest attention on the pentacle he holds before him. He appears to be focused on this pentacle to the exclusion of all else around him. Upon his wrist he wears a single bracelet. His head is adorned with an ornate red scarfed and plumed hat indicating a strong or complicated desire and the sky overhead is golden and unclouded.

(All work and No Play, immaturity, carefree, lack of knowledge that comes from inexperience)

I think you can expect a monetary message, Leo, I say this because you have drawn a Court Card, so I expect that you already know it speaks to things that can be defined by the astrological or seasonal influence of the card (Pentacles = Winter), or it can be about those people in your life who can be described by the personality traits attributed to the image (Page of Pentacles = Youthful, serious personality), or, it can even be the energies embodied in the draw through a combination of the rank of the card and the elemental correspondence of the suit (Pages = Messengers, Pentacles = Material Matters). Often, it can be a compilation of all those influences. Now, among the cards of the Tarot the Page is ranked eleventh, and even though numerology is based on single digit analyses eleven is never reduced, because it is a Master Number. Although there are schools of metaphysical thought that teach that someone with a master number is actually an "old soul" of an ascended master, the appearance of a master number does not necessarily indicate the person is actually the returned incarnation of an avatar from out of the dim recesses of history. It does, however, indicate the presentation of an opportunity to master a particular moment or talent during this lifetime in order to make an important contribution for mankind in any field of spiritual, scientific, medical, religious, educational, governmental, artistic, or technological advancement. The number 11 symbolizes the principle of enlightenment. It colors everything with drama, a visionary outlook, artistic sensitivity, and a sparkling quality. It may not, at first, appear truly practical, but the contribution of this influence is in a unique perspective and philosophy which instigates new consciousness and opens up whole new avenues of exploration and education. The most harmonious application of this energy seeks to express higher consciousness, unite spiritual Truth to material plane, and serve as an inventive, visionary leader. So... I'm seeing a message about material mastery.... well... at least an opportunity to master certain material issues... and this card is an indication that all you gotta do is get serious. So... if the cards are saying "get serious"... it is a cinch that the universe is all primed to point the way.... just come with me and we'll see what we can see...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 12th House holding Hidden Impulses and Unconscious Urges will move your overall mood inward, toward the influence of your intuition, while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 1st House securing Self Image and First Impressions, suggests that a positive personal presentation is absolutely imperative. The presence of loving Venus in the company of energetic Mars in Your 2nd House involving Earnings, Income, Wealth, and Value, are an indication that financial factors are indeed essential elements of the horoscopic horizon. This is where the restrictions referenced by the relative restraint of Saturn moving in a direct direction through Your 3rd House connecting Commerce and Communication might come into play, so, it may not to hurt to take a good long look at whether or not you are allowing unnecessary barriers to interfere with your availability to certain interesting offers. The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 6th House defining Daily Duties and Regular Routines, could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 7th House relating to Relevant Relationships. Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling your highest ideals according to Your 9th House featuring Philosophy, Viewpoint, and Life-long Learning ... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew your overall outlook. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The Page of Pentacles think it means that the more you make material management a priority, the more manageable your material matters will become. The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to the way your deepest dreams are demanding daily expression during this Moonphase will illuminate an inner need for a better fit between your every day experience and your inner vision, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, The Sun, moving through a corner of the cosmos covering your sense of style and personal presentation. My Gramma used to say "Who you think you *are* can't hold you back, only who you think you *aren't* can do that"... and this was her way of teaching me that it's all too easy, and ultimately self-defeating, for people to overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are. Me, the Universe, and The Page of Pentacles have a message for you about what your true worth actually is, Imp ... and it doesn't have anything to do with the numbers you'll find in your bank book. If you put a small value on yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price... so... it's past time for you to see yourself as your own most priceless possession, because the real secret of success is that when your self-worth goes up, your net worth can't help but go up with it!

This moonphase you will find:

For VIRGO
(August 23 to September 22)

*THE TOWER*

A lightning struck tower stands atop a lone, craggy, peak. This lightning bolt seems to have blown the crown shaped turret entirely off of this structure and two figures fall from the tower to the depths below. The crown shape of the roof may indicate the downfall of corrupt authority. Flames burst from every window and a shower of 22 sparks are the only other illumination in the dark and stormy sky.

(Flash of Insight, Shaken to the Foundations, Tearing down to Rebuild, setting things right, giving what is due)

"A flash of insight", Virgo. This is the concept you should concentrate on. I say this because you have drawn a card from the Major Arcana, so, as I may have mentioned before, this card is a reference to things of overarching importance to a particular point you have reached in your continuous life journey far more than it is a reference to the mundane matters of your day-to-day details. Additionally, we should be looking at the numerology associated with this draw. Among the cards of the Tarot, The Tower is ranked with the number sixteen, however, Because numerology is based on single digit analyses sixteen is reduced, (1+6=7), and is interpreted as a higher octave of the number seven. The number 7 symbolizes humanity's deep inner need to find depth, meaning, and spiritual connection. When the creature needs of food, self-expression, material and domestic achievements have been met, we turn to the deeper levels of life to learn, to educate ourselves and to find purpose. The 7 is an investigator, an inventor, and must have solitude in which to find the inner voice. Sevens tend to be different, eccentric, or loners and are very discriminating in all areas. Seven is considered to be a spiritual number because it is illusive and contains veils which must first be uncovered, one after another, before illumination will ultimately be found. Seven is said to be sacred, and this is evidenced by the fact that there are seven days in the week, ancient texts propose that the earth was formed in seven phases, the ancient solar system consisted of seven luminaries, and some versions of the kaballah have seven sephiroth. While seven possesses qualities of dreaminess, spirituality and psychic awareness, negatively it can be dubious, deceptive and insincere. Seven is ruled by the planet Neptune. It is a very spiritual number that is not limited by the constraints of the physical world. This is the number of mystics, visionaries, and seers. Because this number is associated with luck in many cultures, including ours... one should not discount the powerful potential of certain synchronicities when under this influence... you know... like that aforementioned "flash of insight"... Now I think we should check your chart to what the heavens have to say on the subjects of insight, illumination... and you ...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 11th House containing the Causes You Champion and the Company You Keep will move your overall mood toward attention to allies and associates while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 12th House holding Hidden Impulses and Unconscious Urges, suggests that a focus on your intuition is absolutely imperative. The presence of loving Venus in the company of energetic Mars in Your 1st House securing Self Image and First Impressions, are an indication that your personal presentation is another essential element of the horoscopic horizon. This is where the restrictions referenced by the relative restraint of Saturn moving in a direct direction through Your 2nd House involving Earnings, Income, Wealth, and Value might come into play, so, it may not to hurt to take a good long look at whether or not you are allowing unnecessary barriers to affect the way you value your own insights. The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 5th House embracing Entertainment and Leisure Pursuits, could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 6th House defining Daily Duties and Regular Routines. Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling flashes of insight according to Your 8th House engaging Emergency Management and Crisis Control ... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew all emerging issues before they become actual emergencies. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The Tower think it means that an instant of insight can sometimes be worth more than a lifetime of experience. The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to why living the life you love is the key to loving the life you live during this Moonphase will illuminate an inner need for emotional satisfaction, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, Mercury, moving through a corner of the cosmos covering your sense of *self*. My Gramma used to say "A mind stretched around a new idea never goes back to it's original shape"... and this was her way of teaching me that we all have powers we never dreamed of. We can do things we never thought possible. There are no limitations in what we can accomplish except the limitations of our own minds. Me, the Universe, and The Tower are just waiting for you to feel the flash of your own brilliance, Baby ... as far as we're concerned, you're about to experience an insight brilliant enough to illuminate absolutely everything you need to know... so... you know... you better grab some shades!

This moonphase you will find:

This is what the Solar System looks like from your astrological point of view for this moonphase, but, of course, it isn't really to scale, or entirely accurate because the planets are actually moving a little bit all the time, aren't they?...

You will find some general information about the influence of each constellation, and the associated planetary ruler below. Sometimes it is helpful to refresh your own perspective a little by scanning the bold keywords to get a better idea of how each planet will express it's own particular energies as it travels through the different segments of the sky.

For LIBRA
(September 23 to October 23)

*THE NINE of WANDS*

A wary figure stands guard from within eight wands. He holds a ninth in his hands as though in preparation for defense. There is a bandage upon his head to indicate he has already been through an altercation. Though the sky overhead is blue and cloudless, the terrain in the distance is uneven and there appears to be no well-traveled pathway for either escape or rescue.

(Defiance, mistrust, manipulating, looking for the easiest way or route)

"That which does not kill us only makes us stronger", Libra. I am telling you this because you have pulled a card from the Minor Arcana so it is all about the elemental correspondence of the suit in combination with the numerological significance of the card. In this case you are combining the energy of Wands (which are a reference to Physical Factors) with the energy of Nines (Which are a reference to Personal Completion). So essentially what you have here is a message of personal completion... hard won indeed, but well worth it... and, here's the best part... paid in full. Now you know what you can endure. Now you know that you are tough enough to handle whatever comes. This is pretty much the meaning of your draw right on the face of it. Look at that image. It is a pretty darn accurate depiction of someone whose "head is bloody but still unbowed" isn't it? There is numerology to back this up as well. The 9 is the last single digit in the series. It can signify the wisdom that is achieved at the completion or ending of a cycle. And as such, symbolizes the principle of a complete personal philosophy or consciousness. The 9 looks for solutions from the inspirational, intuitive, and creative worlds. Its energy is loving, compassionate, and expansive. Nine was considered to be a sacred number by the ancients and was consequently not assigned a numerical equivalent to any letter in the Chaldean alphabet. It represents change, invention and growth which springs forth from inspiration. Nine has traditionally held esoteric significance which is evidenced by the fact that it takes nine calendar months to bring a baby into the world from its initial conception. Nine is ruled by the planet Uranus, and, like its ruler, it is very eccentric and unusual in nature... so you can be sure that wherever this number is prominent invention and ingenuity will be the hallmark of almost every activity. If the idea of knowing that you are "able to take it" gives you a certain measure of security in facing the future... then you are probably gonna love what the heavens hold for you in the way of mystical messages this moonphase... Come with me and I'll show you what I mean...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 10th House covering Career, Status, Reputation, and Honor will move your overall mood toward attention to happenings on the professional stage while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 11th House containing the Causes You Champion and the Company You Keep, suggests that a little attention to issues concerning "common cause" is absolutely imperative. The presence of loving Venus in the company of energetic Mars in Your 12th House holding Hidden Impulses and Unconscious Urges, are an indication that tapping into the power of your intuition is another essential element of the horoscopic horizon. This is where the restrictions referenced by the relative restraint of Saturn moving in a direct direction through Your 1st House securing Self Image and First Impressions might come into play, so, it may not to hurt to take a good long look at whether or not you are allowing unnecessary barriers to affect your personal presentation. The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 4th House detailing Domestic Lifestyle and Sense of Security, could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 5th House embracing Entertainment and Leisure Pursuits. Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling some surprisint personal interactions according to Your 7th House relating to Relevant Relationships... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew all matters relating to the way you relate to all your significant relationships, including your relationship with your self. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The Nine of Wands think it means that the challenges you have faced in the recent past have wrought some changes in the way you are... or are not... willing to enter the world. The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to the differences between your private persona and your public image during this Moonphase will illuminate an inner need for a sanctuary of some sort from all the hustle and bustle of daily life, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, Venus, moving through a corner of the cosmos covering your private side. My Gramma used to say "A sinking lifeboat saves none"... and this was her way of teaching me that *self care* is the most important thing. If you can't take care of yourself, well then, you won't be able to take care of anyone else. If you can't love yourself, you won't be able to love anyone else either. If you can't stay afloat, you can't be a lifeboat for anyone else. Me, the Universe, and The Nine of wands are pretty certain that you have been through something that requires a little self-care right now, Nugget ... so... it's OK to let the demands of the rest of the world go knocking on some other door for a while. You need to spend some time taking care of you... because... you are all you've got!

This moonphase you will find:

For SCORPIO
(October 24 to November 22)

*THE FIVE of PENTACLES*

Two people in tattered clothing struggle past a stained glass window filled with light reflecting through five pentacles. One of these thinly garbed unfortunates pulls a patched shawl more tightly around her shoulders. She has no shoes to protect her feet from the snow. The other is on crutches with a bell hanging around his neck. His head is bandaged as is his injured foot. His other foot is bare against the cold ice of the pathway beneath him.

(Material Need, Overlooking Material Opportunity, Sickness, abandonment, not accepted, forgotten)

Sometimes things are pretty much out of your control, Scorpio, and it would be wiser to surf the prevailing wave than to try to change the tide. However, just because the situation isn't in your control doesn't mean that there aren't still some sources of aid and comfort available to you. I can suggest this because you have pulled your card from the Minor Arcana so it is all about the elemental correspondence of the suit in combination with the numerological significance of the card. In this case you are combining the energy of Pentacles (which are a reference to Material Matters) with the energy of Fives (Which are a reference to Challenge). Now, "material challenge"... heck... ANY challenge may be uncomfortable... otherwise... you know... it wouldn't be challenging... but there is nothing to say that you need to surmount this challenge all on your own or without any aid. Quite to the contrary, actually. The number 5 symbolizes the principle of multiplicity, progression, and passion. It signifies the need for change, variety, and new growth. It asks questions. It seeks new information. It is pragmatic and opportunistic and very persuasive. Five is a number which represents service to others... both giving, and receiving. This number governs our ability to think clearly and our intellectual capacity. It is a multifaceted number with links to our state of physical and mental health as evidenced by the fact that much of our experience is based upon five senses, and we move through the world on feet equipped with five toes, and we manipulate things in the world using hands equipped with five fingers. Five is ruled by the planet Mercury and the astrological aspect of the quincunx. Because this number deals with the concept of communication, on a negative level deception can also be involved, so it is always best to double check for the facts. All of these indicators should serve to point you in the direction of asking significant questions, and learning from the experiences of others around you as you approach this material challenge... and I suspect that you can even find some valuable assistance right now if you query the cosmos...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 9th House featuring Philosophy, Viewpoint, and Life-long Learning will move your overall mood toward attention to the power of perspective while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 10th House covering Career, Status, Reputation, and Honor, suggests that promotions or other public recognition for your professional efforts is a potent possibility. The presence of loving Venus in the company of energetic Mars in Your 11th House containing the Causes You Champion and the Company You Keep, are an indication that alliances and associates are another essential element of the horoscopic horizon. This is where the restrictions referenced by the relative restraint of Saturn moving in a direct direction through Your 12th House holding Hidden Impulses and Unconscious Urges might come into play, so, it may not to hurt to take a good long look at whether or not you are allowing unnecessary barriers to affect the way you interact with your own intuition. The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 3rd House connecting Commerce and Communication, could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 4th House detailing Domestic Lifestyle and Sense of Security. Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling some surprising demands that stretch your agenda according to Your 6th House defining Daily Duties and Regular Routines... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew all matters of everyday activity. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The Five of Pentacles think it means that There is no such thing as a self-made person. Everyone has goals that can only be reached with the help of others. The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to the way you communicate your overall vision during this Moonphase will illuminate the best sources of aid available, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, Pluto, moving retrograde through a corner of the cosmos covering ideas and information. My Gramma used to say "You have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others"... and this was her way of teaching me that cooperation and collaboration is not charity. It's a reciprocal arrangement. Me, the Universe, and The Five of Pentacles don't want you to let some misguided sense of pride to interfere with your ability to get what you need, Niblet, all you gotta do is ask ... because... doing things for yourself doesn't always have to mean doing things by yourself!

For SAGITTARIUS
(November 23 to December 21)

*THE EIGHT of SWORDS (reversed)*

A bound figure stands on a narrow dry spot surrounded by puddles. She is wearing a blindfold and the ground at her feet appears to be uncertain. This figure is unmoving and stands in the midst of eight swords embedded in the surrounding sand. She does not appear to struggle against these bonds, but rather, calmly awaits her fate. There is a castle atop the distant cliffs behind her. This entire tableau is depicted beneath a gray and dismal sky which is absent of both clouds and sunshine.

(trapped, but protected, inaccessable, an inability to see or focus on your surroundings, something beyond your control)

You need help, Sagittarius, and even more importantly, you need to be willing to ask for it. I suggest this because you have pulled a card from the Minor Arcana so it is all about the elemental correspondence of the suit in combination with the numerological significance of the card. In this case you are combining the energy of Swords (which are a reference to Intellectual Issues) with the energy of Eights (Which are a reference to Power)... and... oh yeah... you have also drawn this card Reversed. Now before you go off assuming the simplistic assessment that a reversed card is an indication that all you gotta do is take the normal interpretation and overturn the meaning, let me caution you that reversals are far more subtle than that. They may indicate a delay, or a block, or an internal (rather than external) manifestation. Indeed, reversals can be viewed in all of these ways, but they should almost never be seen as an automatic inversion of the standard connotation. The subject of "intellectual power" can take many faces... but the end result can be clearly seen in the image depicted in your draw. Here's the situation. This figure could walk right out of the circle of swords surrounding her if she could untie her bonds and see the obstacles in her path. But, she cannot see them. She is blindfolded. She could remove the blindfold if she was not bound, and she could cut the bonds if she was not blindfolded. It would appear that she can do neither by herself. It would appear that she needs help. And here's where we come to another little something to notice about the image. She is not gagged. She has her voice. She could call for help. So... you gotta wonder... has she already done so?... has she not thought of it?... is she too proud?... this iswhere an analysis of the numerology associated with your draw can be helpful. The number 8 symbolizes the principle of domination, control, and achievement. It is the executive decision-maker. This influence tends to be rather formal, stern, and hard-headed. More comfortable in the realm of material, tangible facts, the eight will be truly exceptional as soon as it develops its spiritual connection and intuition. A natural leader with a good grasp of how to accomplish any goal, it must learn compassion. Eight is considered to be the number of karmic influences where we are called upon to pay debts incurred in this and previous lives. It represents hard work and lessons learned through experience, and can therefore be a difficult number for some because of the very restrictiveness of its nature. Because reputation and community standing are of paramount importance, those who have it figured prominently would be wise to lead honest lives, otherwise any indiscretions will more than likely be uncovered in a most unflattering manner. Eight is ruled by the planet Saturn. It is a solid, stable number with many limitations and boundaries that must be negotiated transcended before one can truly progress. And, this is exactly the circumstance surrounding our bound and blindfolded figure. So... you gotta ask yourself.... are you in some similar circumstance?... Is there something you need to ask for help with before you will be able to surpass your present limitations and truly progress on to the next step?... I'll bet you don't even need to uncover stellar secrets to find the answer to the puzzle presented by the Reversed Eight of Swords... but I'm gonna hook you up with some astrological aid anyway...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 8th House engaging Emergency Management and Crisis Control will move your overall mood toward attention to critical incidents while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 9th House featuring Philosophy, Viewpoint, and Life-long Learning , suggests that an attitude adjustment of some sort is absolutely imperative. The presence of loving Venus in the company of energetic Mars in Your 10th House covering Career, Status, Reputation, and Honor, are an indication that finding more fun on a daily basis is another essential element of the horoscopic horizon. This is where the restrictions referenced by the relative restraint of Saturn moving in a direct direction through Your 11th House containing the Causes You Champion and the Company You Keep might come into play, so, it may not to hurt to take a good long look at whether or not you are allowing unnecessary barriers to affect the way you interact with allies. The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 2nd House involving Earnings, Income, Wealth, and Value, could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 3rd House connecting Commerce and Communication. Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling unexpected opportunities for enjoyment according to Your 5th House embracing Entertainment and Leisure Pursuits... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew all matters of personal pleasure. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The reversed Eight of Swords think it means that asking is the beginning of receiving. The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to the way your material resources are being unexpectedly stretched during this Moonphase will illuminate real need to adjust your attitude about asking for aid, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, Jupiter, moving through a corner of the cosmos covering satisfaction... and how to get some. My Gramma used to say "Don't go to the well with a teaspoon"... and this was her way of teaching me that anything worth having is worth asking for... and in amounts great enough to result in the actual fulfillment of the need. Me, the Universe, and The reversed Eight of Swords want you to know that there's nothing wrong with asking for help, Honey ... None of us has gotten where we are solely by pulling ourselves up from our own bootstraps. We got here because somebody helped us. After all... what are we here for if not to help each other?

This moonphase you will find:

For CAPRICORN
(December 22 to January 19)

*THE PAGE of WANDS*

A youth stands holding a single wand before him as though in the act of proclamation. This youth wears a white hat decorated with a red feather. It is said the white represents innocent and trustworthy thought and the red represents desire. In the distance there are three pyramids beneath a cloudless blue sky.

(Declaration, Physical message, Anticipated Success, Confidence/Overconfidence, journey, growth)

I think you can expect a message soon, along with the opportunity to make your next move, Capricorn, I say this because you have drawn a Court Card, so I expect that you already know it speaks to things that can be defined by the astrological or seasonal influence of the card (Wands = Autumn), or it can be about those people in your life who can be described by the personality traits attributed to the image (Page of Wands = Youthful, ambitious, confident personality), or, it can even be the energies embodied in the draw through a combination of the rank of the card and the elemental correspondence of the suit (Pages = Messengers, Wands = Physical Factors). Often, it can be a compilation of all those influences. Now, among the cards of the Tarot the Page is ranked eleventh, and even though numerology is based on single digit analyses eleven is never reduced, because it is a Master Number. Although there are schools of metaphysical thought that teach that someone with a master number is actually an "old soul" of an ascended master, the appearance of a master number does not necessarily indicate the person is actually the returned incarnation of an avatar from out of the dim recesses of history. It does, however, indicate the presentation of an opportunity to master a particular moment or talent during this lifetime in order to make an important contribution for mankind in any field of spiritual, scientific, medical, religious, educational, governmental, artistic, or technological advancement. The number 11 symbolizes the principle of enlightenment. It colors everything with drama, a visionary outlook, artistic sensitivity, and a sparkling quality. It may not, at first, appear truly practical, but the contribution of this influence is in a unique perspective and philosophy which instigates new consciousness and opens up whole new avenues of exploration and education. The most harmonious application of this energy seeks to express higher consciousness, unite spiritual truth to material plane, and serve as an inventive, visionary leader. So... I'm seeing a message about physical factors.... as well as an opportunity to master certain physical skills and abilities... and this card is an indication that all you gotta do is get a grip on your confidence. So... if the cards are saying "onward and upward"... it is almost a certainty that the universe is all primed to point the way.... just come with me and we'll see what the horoscopic horizon holds...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 7th House relating to Relevant Relationships will move your overall mood toward attention to personal interactions while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 8th House engaging Emergency Management and Crisis Control , suggests that critical communications are absolutely imperative.

Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling an unexpected need for some sort of sanctuary according to Your 4th House detailing Domestic Lifestyle and Sense of Security... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew all matters material to a happy home-life. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The Page of Wands think it means that news about an advancement opportunity may start the ball rolling to rearrange every aspect of your life. The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to the way you relate to all of your relevant relationships, from friends to family, lovers to strangers, collaborators to competitors, and even your own relationship with your own self during this Moonphase will illuminate an inner need for an increase in personal autonomy, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, Saturn, moving through a corner of the cosmos covering your career concerns. My Gramma used to say "Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there"... and this was her way of teaching me that unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Me, the Universe, and The Page of Wands want you to remember that the minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for, Foxy . Your destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. We want you to achieve everything you deserve!

For AQUARIUS
(January 20 to February 19)

*THE FOUR of PENTACLES*

This card reveals a seated figure wearing a red tunic and bearing a small undecorated crown clutching a pentacle with both hands and securing two more beneath his feet. The fourth is hovering overhead, still within his reach, but, preoccupied as he is with what he is already clinging to, he has no way to grab more. In the distance there are the rooftops of a city skyline beneath a gray undifferentiated sky.

(Material Stability, confidence, security, an overall view)

This is no time to engage in "risky business", Aquarius, and I advise this pretty strongly, because generally the Four of Pentacles is an indication that you need to hold on to what you have, lest you lose it all trying to reach for more than you can handle. I am mentioning this because you have pulled a card from the Minor Arcana so it is all about the elemental correspondence of the suit in combination with the numerological significance of the card. In this case you are combining the energy of Pentacles (which are a reference to Material Matters) with the energy of Fours (Which are a reference to Stability). The number 4 symbolizes the principle of putting ideas into form. It signifies work and productivity. The 4 is constructive, realistic, traditional and cautious. It is the number of system, order, and management. Four is a number of stability and building for the future. It has much energy which is directed toward the achievement of goals, such as family celebrations or other notable events. Because this is a number of progression and growth, many original ideas are likely to spring forth from what appears to be thin air. Because of the grounded qualities of this number, it has a tendency to be steadfast and can lend an air of reliability to anyone touched by this influence. Four is ruled by Mars and the astrological aspect of the square. Because it has a great deal of stability it is a tremendously trustworthy energy, particularly when attempting to build or strengthen foundations. So... I am gonna suggest it again... hold on. Don't over-commit any of your material resources to new ventures now unless you are absolutely certain that your existing needs will be met. There may be some very tempting offers available along the lines of "it takes money to make money" or "nothing ventured, nothing gained"... but... it doesn't take much to turn a "venture capital gain" into a "loss leader" and it is far better to keep what you have already earned than to watch it all get sucked away onto some sort of speculative black hole. I'm thinking that there is no time like the present to find the safest way to secure your securities... and there's no better place to peek than right up there into the pale blue where I'm fairly certain we can secure a cosmic clue... or two...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 6th House defining Daily Duties and Regular Routines will move your overall mood toward attention to your every day experience while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 7th House relating to Relevant Relationships, suggests that maintaining your most intimate associations is absolutely imperative. The presence of loving Venus in the company of energetic Mars in Your 8th House engaging Emergency Management and Crisis Control , are an indication that acting on emerging issues is another essential element of the horoscopic horizon. This is where the restrictions referenced by the relative restraint of Saturn moving in a direct direction through Your 9th House featuring Philosophy, Viewpoint, and Life-long Learning might come into play, so, it may not to hurt to take a good long look at whether or not you are allowing unnecessary barriers to affect the way you view your world. The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 12th House holding Hidden Impulses and Unconscious Urges, could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 1st House securing Self Image and First Impressions. Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling an unusual concept according to Your 3rd House connecting Commerce and Communication... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew all matters concerning commerce. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The Four of Pentacles think it means that the risk to reward ratio may be a little steep for your tastes. The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to the way your inner vision is impacted by daily details during this Moonphase will illuminate some red flags indicating that you should proceed with caution, if you decide to proceed at all, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, Uranus, moving retrograde through a corner of the cosmos covering information and ideas. My Gramma used to say "If you jump off a cliff, don't plan to build your wings on the way down"... and while this was not meant to discourage me from any and all risk... it was certainly meant to remind me that a certain amount of planning and risk assessment would be helpful to forging success out of any untried adventure. Me, the Universe, and The Four of Pentacles don't think you need to be so scrupulously afraid of doing wrong that you won't venture to do anything, but, a little caution would be cool, Cookie ... because preparation can minimize the risk associated with any chance you take. When paddling forward, the boat may rock... so.. what's wrong with having a life-jacket handy?

For PISCES
(February 20 to March 20)

*THE SEVEN of WANDS*

A young warrior prepares to defend his position against approaching challenges represented by six upraised wands in the foreground. This young contestant is wearing a green tunic over a yellow garment and his feet are clad in mis-matched boots.

(Valor, Bravery, defense, planning, ready to fight for what you want, last stand)

Be Prepared, Pisces. I say this because you have pulled a card from the Minor Arcana so it is all about the elemental correspondence of the suit in combination with the numerological significance of the card. In this case you are combining the energy of Wands (which are a reference to Physical Factors) with the energy of Sevens (Which are a reference to Destiny)... and when it comes to facing your destiny... well... "be prepared" is pretty much the best you can do. You know, the "Forest Gump" philosophy of why life is like a box of chocolates certainly applies here... because... you never DO know what you are going to get. All you can do is... um... you know... "be prepared". Of course, we can glean a little more than just this one pithy bit of advice from your draw if we consider the numerology associated with it. You see, the number 7 symbolizes humanity's deep inner need to find depth, meaning, and spiritual connection. It is an indication that the creature needs of food, self-expression, material and domestic achievements have been met, and we need to turn our attention to the deeper levels of life to learn, to educate ourselves, and to find purpose. This number is an investigator, an inventor, and tends to be different, eccentric, and very discriminating in all areas. Seven is considered to be a spiritual number because it is illusive and contains veils which must first be uncovered, one after another, before illumination will ultimately be found. Seven is also said to be sacred, and this is evidenced by the fact that there are seven days in the week, ancient texts propose that the earth was formed in seven phases, the ancient solar system consisted of seven luminaries, and some versions of the kaballah have seven sephiroth. While seven certainly possesses qualities of dreaminess, spirituality and psychic awareness, it has a practical application and expression for those gifts, so it is best to listen closely to your "inner voice", because when this influence is on the rise, your intuition is likely to prove stunningly accurate. Seven is ruled by the planet Neptune. It is a very spiritual number that is not limited by the constraints of the physical world. This is the number of mystics, visionaries, and seers. and... you have drawn it in conjunction with a card that references very down to earth, practical, physical manifestations of all this "inner guidance". This may seem like a contradiction at first glance.... but I think if we check out your chart, we will see some planetary action that almost directly reflects the need to "be prepared" because your inner vision is about to engage in a "race to reality"... and I think you don't wanna be left behind...

You will find some overall information about the heavenly hints for this moonphase in general below, and I think all you gotta do is concentrate on the Bold Keywords to understand the divine directives... (and if it makes things any easier, scroll down to the image provided that serves as a sort of a "snapshot" of the planetary panorama right around the middle of this moonphase... but there are some stellar secrets I want to point out because they are meant especially for you. The intuitive intelligence of the New Moon in Your 5th House embracing Entertainment and Leisure Pursuits will move your overall mood toward attention to emotional satisfaction while the cognitive concentration provided by Mercury combined with the successful strength of The Sun in Your 6th House defining Daily Duties and Regular Routines, suggests that making the enjoyment of your enjoyments a daily event is absolutely imperative. The presence of loving Venus in the company of energetic Mars in Your 7th House relating to Relevant Relationships, are an indication that the power of partnership is another essential element of the horoscopic horizon. This is where the restrictions referenced by the relative restraint of Saturn moving in a direct direction through Your 8th House engaging Emergency Management and Crisis Control might come into play, so, it may not to hurt to take a good long look at whether or not you are allowing unnecessary barriers to affect the fulfillment of your most important personal relationships. The full power of the Full Moon teamed up with the pull of the powerful undercurrents conveyed by the regenerative reach of retrograde Pluto in Your 11th House containing the Causes You Champion and the Company You Keep, could be a cosmic clue to your celestial circumstances, so pay attention to the presence of retrograde Neptune in Your 12th House holding Hidden Impulses and Unconscious Urges. Finally, the optimistic attitude associated with Jupiter is amplified under the unexpected intensity of Uranus fueling unexpected material opportunities according to Your 2nd House involving Earnings, Income, Wealth, and Value... but... please to be mindful that generous Jupiter will switch to retrograde direction right around the end of this moonphase and this will give you an opportunity to review and renew all matters of value to you. So what does this all mean? Well, me, the Universe, and The Seven of Wands think it means that success is usually found where preparation meets opportunity. The anticipated itinerary of The Moon along the part of your chart pertaining to the way your associates and allies can amp up your prospects for increased satisfaction during this Moonphase will illuminate a new avenue for personal and professional fulfillment, so this is a good time to follow the direction of your daily planetary ruler, Neptune, moving retrograde through a corner of the cosmos covering your deepest dreams... and how to make them more of a reality. My Gramma used to say "The window of opportunity won't open itself"... and this was her way of teaching me that opportunity seems to have an uncanny habit of favoring those who have paid the price of preparation and are ready to meet chance halfway. Me, the Universe, and The Seven of Wands are pretty certain that you just don't luck into things as much as you'd like to think you do Darling, you build step by step, whether it's friendships or education, or employment, or any other possibility for positive change. One chance is all you need... as long as you are prepared to take it!
