Two of Cups

I pulled the Two of Cups from the Thoth Tarot this morning, and I have no idea what it means with regards to today's energies... Events have yet to unfold... but with a card like this I'm quite looking forward to whatever the day holds. I always feel at home with the watery cards (the suit of Cups corresponding to the element of water and the emotional body). Astrologically, the Two of Cups corresponds to Venus in Cancer. The title of this beautiful card is Love.

This is such a happy card and there's a new moon in Sagittarius today as well - I feel full of optimism. From the outside looking in, most people would probably think me mad for feeling happy and optimistic. There's nothing in my physical/material circumstances to warrant near giddy joy... but there it is!

It's all about being centred in the Self, the source of all Joy, embracing uncertainty and just allowing unconditional love to flow... Life is an adventure and we are all heroes.

I've seen so many rainbows in the sky lately - have you noticed them too?

Card of the Day – The Moon

The Card I pulled this morning was the moon card from the Tarot of Dreams by Ciro Marchetti. The Moon is the 18^th Key of the Major Arcana and relates to the sphere Yesod on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. Yesod is the Sphere of dreams and the unconscious, where reality is formed before it is made manifest on the physical plane. The Hebrew letter corresponding to the Moon is Qoph, which means the back of the head. Astrologically, the Moon corresponds to Pisces.

To the left in the picture we see a wolf and to the right we see a dog – a domesticated 'wolf' – both are representations of our consciousness. The left side of the body is ruled by the feminine right side of brain (in tune with the cycles of the moon), and the right side of the body is ruled by the masculine left side of the brain.

The Bats are our unconscious thoughts and dreams that may seem frightening when they first come up to the surface. Our unconscious mind is heavily affected by the cycles of the moon, as most people who work in prisons or in institutions with mental patients are aware. Midwives also know that more women give birth during the full moon.

The current phase of the moon is 4^th quarter waning in the sign of Virgo. Virgo, ruled by Mercury, relates to our health and to service. Detail-oriented work that requires a lot of concentration might flow quite easily today.

I know I haven't posted anything for a while, but I've been busy celebrating Halloween and spending time with my children. I'll be back on a more regular basis after the 6th of November.
