Good morning, friends!

Well, I hope you have been enjoying the new daily check-ins and weekly forecasts!  The practice is definitely helping me grow and expand as an astrologer and tarot reader.  Did you have a nice weekend? Did you miss me? LOL

We are coming up on Thanksgiving, my birthday, and the holiday shopping season, so stay tuned for a few holiday sales coming up in the family Etsy shop, Metaphysical Flamingo!  

Let me know if you have any questions by replying to this newsletter in the comments or you can send me an email to astromommyastrology@gmail.com!

Okay, let’s get into… the astrology

 (All times are in Eastern Time (ET) unless mentioned otherwise)

This week we have two planets ingressing into new signs and we have two major oppositions brewing, so it should make for an interesting week where we feel some of the energy reach a tipping point and therefore shift into new realms.

On Wednesday, November 8th, Venus moves into her own sign of Libra which is positive and gives what we love, value, and find pleasure in a nice boost, and then on Friday, November 10th, Mercury makes his way into Sagittarius bringing about a more colorful, adventurous, and hopeful frame of mind! 

Then over the weekend and into next Monday, we have two oppositions to Uranus in Taurus retrograde, first Mars will oppose him on Saturday, November 11th, and then the Sun will oppose him on Monday, November 13th—these two transits may shake things up a bit and represent sudden decisions that propel us into new territory!

But, first, as always, let’s talk about the Moon this week.

We have a New Moon in Scorpio coming up this Monday so most of this week the Moon will be in her Balsamic phase, which is a time to reflect on the past month and let go or release what we don’t need before we make a New Start with the New Moon.

The Moon starts the week out in the critical, process-oriented, and systematic sign of Virgo and moves into the charming, peaceful, and diplomatic sign of Libra on Thursday.  Then she will ingress into the passionate, moody, and deep sign of Scorpio on Saturday and stay there for the New Moon in Scorpio and then Monday evening she will ingress into the vision-oriented, adventurous, and hopeful sign of Sagittarius.

So, let’s look at this by mode and element: the workweek is mutable earth and cardinal air—busy, industrious, and relationship-driven.  Then the weekend is dominated by fixed water—passionate, intuitive, and emotionally intense.  Next week the energy shifts into mutable fire bringing in an optimistic, freedom-loving, bold spirit.

Now we’ll go over each day of the week and touch on the most important transits for that day and then we’ll do a 3-card tarot spread for the week.

TUESDAY, November 7, 2023

The Moon

On Tuesday the Moon will be in Virgo all day and so we may feel like sorting through things, decluttering, organizing our paperwork, or eliminating email buildup.  Last week we talked about Elon Musk having a Virgo Moon, but this week I’d like to highlight, Gordon Ramsay.  Gordon Ramsay is a “Controversial Scottish celebrity chef, restaurateur, and television personality,” best known for his hit shows, Kitchen Nightmares and Master Chef (Astro-Databank, 2019)1

I want to stop for a moment and just talk about his chart for a second…

What I love about Gordon Ramsay as a featured celebrity this week, besides the fact that he has a Scorpio Sun, Virgo Moon, and Gemini Rising, as you can see in the chart below, is that he has a Virgo Stellium with Mars, Pluto, Uranus, and the Moon all in opposition from his fourth whole sign house to Saturn in Pisces in his tenth house of career!  Here we have a man who has carved out a career for himself as a chef—his Moon in Virgo rules his second house of how he makes his money and is in an exact opposition to his Saturn in the tenth—working really hard on something very tangible and needed for life, the art, management, and presentation of food, not to mention his very valuable critical eye and palate!  He also has Mercury in Sagittarius, which we will be talking about later in the week, which I feel is so great because he literally is taking people on an adventure through the way he describes how he cooks the food, plates the food, and tastes the food in his shows! 

So, I just love him as a Virgo Moon example because he has some textbook Virgo traits: he’s critical, hard-working, and very perfectionistic, but he delivers and has been rewarded in this lifetime for his hard work and you can see that fate described with his Jupiter in Leo ruling the tenth house of career and also being the host of Saturn.  The Moon phase that he was born under is the waning gibbous and represents someone working towards building a legacy in their lifetime and he sure has done that!

Okay, back to the astrology of this week…

The Transits

There are not any major transits happening on Tuesday, but the Moon is making a few noteworthy aspects to the planets Jupiter, Pluto, and the Sun.

First, at 10:43 am the Moon in Virgo forms a trine to Jupiter in Taurus retrograde and this is a really positive transit in that a trine is of the nature of Jupiter and is said to be easy flowing and bring harmony.  This is further emphasized by the fact that Jupiter is in the exaltation sign of the Moon, Taurus which means that Jupiter likes the Moon and wants to bestow many blessings upon her.  So we could experience more joy, happiness, and gratitude on Tuesday with this transit, as well as financial prosperity or blessings.

In the evening the Moon in Virgo will make a sesquiquadrate to Pluto in Capricorn indicating that our self-transformation is underway but may be taking a backseat for the time being.  That’s okay, right?!  We could all use a break from the hard task of inner growth and change. 

At 9:53 pm the Moon perfects a sextile to the Sun in Scorpio and this symbolizes the opportunity for things to be working out nicely on Tuesday evening between our ambitions and main storylines and our emotional world.  It just feels like whatever we are focusing on right now is going pretty well and that feels good.

WEDNESDAY, November 8, 2023

The Moon

Again, the Moon is in Virgo all day long, so there could be a big focus on what we are ending to make way for what we are about to begin, especially as the Moon is in her waning phase.  The Virgo Moon is mutable earth meaning that it is a time of change on the material plane, which is one of the reasons I always talk about cleaning and organizing when the Moon is in Virgo because it is an easy way to get ready for the next big thing we will all do, and since Libra, a sign associated with relating with others and being more social is next, this means people coming over or doing things with others, so we need to get our spaces in order, mentally and physically.

The Transits

At 4:30 am Venus ingresses into her home sign of Libra and this could be a really nice shift from the very self-critical space of Virgo to the more charming and enchanting sign of Libra.  Venus in Libra has more agency to be herself because she is in one of her domiciles, a sign that she rules, and it is like she is at home and can do what she wants now!  This will be felt especially strongly for those who have cardinal placements in any of the angles of their chart because it means that Venus is moving into one of the angular houses and not only will she be more herself, but she now has the ability to bring in the good fortune!  So if you have an Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn rising, then the possibility for Venus to bring some good fortune in terms of relationships, money, and what you value gets stronger. 

Once in Libra, Venus forms a quincunx to Saturn in Pisces, who is now direct.  Normally Venus and Saturn in such an odd angle would be like two people sitting at the holiday dinner table trying to make small talk but having nothing in common, however, Venus in Libra is actually in Saturn’s exaltation and Saturn in Pisces is actually in Venus’s exaltation, meaning that Saturn and Venus both have an affinity for each other and they may be more interested in what the other has to say—so there’s a curiosity on Saturn’s part toward Venus, like she can bring a new perspective to his awareness and even though the new thoughts are odd and he’s never actually looked at life from that space before, he is willing to entertain her ideas and vice versa.  This dynamic will be playing out in all of their interactions while Venus is traveling through Libra, which could mean that whatever Venusian things you’ve been working hard on, your art, your relationships, or your values, are getting some positive recognition from Saturn, no matter the aspect.  This is also beneficial for contracts and bonds, both legal and spiritual.

Later in the evening, Mercury in Scorpio forms a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn who has moved to 28°05’ meaning that Pluto is off of the exact degree of the USAs Pluto return so now we are done with the exact hit; the seeds of change, transformation, and cathartic healing have been planted and now we will see what comes of them over the next 248 years!  Mercury in sextile to Pluto could bring out some interesting news, revelations, and theories.  We have the opportunity to integrate this new information and use it for growth and healing.

At 11:20 p.m., the Moon in Virgo will trine Pluto in Capricorn.  The Moon trine Pluto can bring up deep and truthful feelings that may feel really good to let out!  This transit could also indicate a time of clearing out the clutter or purging the trash from your environment—think raking up leaves—it feels good to collect all the dying leaves that are all over the yard and bag them up or relocate them somewhere else.  It’s also a nice transit for doing a deep clean in your fridge!  Basically, getting rid of anything that is past its prime in your life!  It will probably require a little effort and elbow grease but it most likely will feel refreshing in the end!

Then the Moon makes a sextile to Mercury in Scorpio at 11:55 p.m. at the very last degrees of their respective signs!  Mercury rules Virgo, the sign that the Moon is in and Mercury is in the sign of the Moon’s fall, Scorpio, meaning that there is a bit of an odd reception here, just as with the Moon and Pluto, but this time the reception is between both planets--the Moon favoring Mercury by being in Virgo and Mercury not having a lot of good things to say about the Moon at this moment because he is in Scorpio.  What this means is that although this transit generally means thoughtfulness, good judgment, and the possibility of clear thinking, there could be some emotions muddying up the waters here.  Mercury is in a water sign and the Moon is in an earth sign and that makes mud!

So, I feel that late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning there is the possibility to have very deep and intense emotional conversations that bring up a lot of feelings and thoughts that hopefully will be healing, clearing, and cathartic.  Because these two transits are harmonious aspects, I have hope that these conversations, revelations, and experiences will be helpful, overall.

THURSDAY, November 9, 2023

The Moon

On Thursday, the Moon will ingress into the sign of Libra at 4:07 am, so the energy may change on Thursday from Gordon Ramsay to the American actor, producer, and environmentalist, Leonardo DiCaprio who has a Libra Moon at 15° in his first house. Now that we have decluttered and organized we want to make things aesthetically pleasing.  Libra is artistic, sociable, and stylish and oftentimes denotes a very charming, peaceful, and diplomatic individual. With the Libra Moon influence coming in on Thursday, you and others around you may feel more artistically inspired, aesthetically in-tuned, and charismatic!

In the afternoon on Thursday, the Moon enters her Balsamic phase, meaning that she is 45° away from the New Moon which will be on Monday, November 13, 2023, in Scorpio.  So, the energies of letting go and release will come in today.

The Transits

At 3:07 am the Moon ingresses into Libra a sign ruled by Venus and Saturn.  Libra is one of Venus’s home signs and Libra is the sign where Saturn is exalted, meaning that Saturn sits on high in this sign.  So we get beauty, love, affection, and charm mixed with the law, justice, and diplomacy in Libra.  The symbol for Libra is the scales of justice and as such this is where things are weighed out and judged.  So while the Moon is in Libra we may try to keep the peace and it may be harder than normal to make a decision that would benefit everyone involved.  On the other hand, we could be very decisive as long as everyone is being cared for and heard.

After the Moon ingresses into Libra she forms a quincunx to Saturn in Pisces and this could require some patience as we try to work out which decisions to make and when.

Then at 5:22 a.m., the Moon conjoins Venus in Libra and this is a great transit that means more harmony, love, affection, and charming pleasant interactions with friends, family, and loved ones.  This is a really nice transit for the day!

There could be some minor setbacks later on Thursday with the Moon in Libra forming semisquares to the Sun and Mars, but if we use the Libra Moon’s tactfulness to work with the energy we will probably be able to avoid conflict and unneeded stress.

FRIDAY, November 10, 2023

The Moon

On Friday, the Moon will be in Libra all day and will enter the Via Combusta around 7:30 am.—a space of the zodiac between 15°Libra to 15°Scorpio that is said to be a rough place for the Moon.  She will form a few frustrating aspects to Mercury, Saturn, Chiron, and Uranus, but they all symbolize delays and setbacks, so there could be a bit of friction felt emotionally on Friday.

The Transits

The two big transits of Friday are Mercury entering Sagittarius at 1:24 a.m. and Mercury perfecting a square to Saturn in Pisces at 10:07 a.m.

Christopher Renstrom in his book, The Cosmic Calendar: Using Astrology to Get in Sync With Your Best Life, says that Mercury in Sagittarius wants to “create a narrative that is so compelling that even if it didn’t happen, people will wish it had.  Sagittarius Mercury’s are the pied pipers of the zodiac.”2  I love this because it is so true!  When Mercury is in Sagittarius the story just gets better, longer, and more colorful! 

In traditional astrology Mercury is said to be in his detriment in Sagittarius, but this doesn’t mean that one’s speech isn’t eloquent or understandable, it just means that Mercury’s ability to stick to the facts and data may be a bit harder because it’s so much fun to embellish, exaggerate, and embroider a better tale, a more adventurous tale, or a tale using hyperbole!

While Mercury is in Sagittarius we could see this kind of archetype show up in the news, on social media, or in our own communications with people—there could be lots of creative exaggerations, colorful metaphors, and hopeful outlooks.

With the Sun in Scorpio and Mercury in Sagittarius, we can expect a lot of one-liners with some zing or sting!  Explicatives could be more common as well!

Mercury in Sagittarius will then square Saturn in Pisces and this could be a really uncomfortable, serious talk or message that comes in and sort of smacks you across the face with a wet fish.  Our thinking could get really small with this transit, which is odd because Mercury in Sagittarius is grand, wide, and shoots for the stars, but in a square to Saturn, this brings us down to earth, and into a narrow passageway between two brick walls.  How can we expand our minds when we are so physically trapped by the oppressive forces of Saturn?  We could feel alone in our thinking.  We could feel like our abilities to mentally or physically travel and explore are being limited, confined, and squeezed in.  We could find ourselves and others making judgments on one another that are final, exact, or very strict. 

This is also a transit which means traffic tickets, so, be aware that authority figures are looking for motor vehicle drivers who are not minding the rules of the road. 

The Weekend

SATURDAY, November 11, 2023

The Moon

On Saturday the Moon starts out in Libra and ingresses into Scorpio at 1:39 pm, so the energy may change on Saturday from the charismatic Leonardo DiCaprio to the American artist, Georgia O’Keefe, who was born right after an exact New Moon with her Sun and Moon in Scorpio, only 3° apart. 

What I love about her though, is that her art was beautiful, yes, but she lived a long natural life, expanding and sharing herself with the world, like a waxing New Moon!  Over the weekend, we are at the part of the Moon’s cycle where she is still waning, and so the sentiment is much more in alignment with the phase of the Moon that Leonardo DiCaprio was born under, a Balsamic Moon.  So, it is so important to look at not only the signs of the Moon in a natal chart but also the phase of the Moon at birth.

With the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Scorpio and the moon waning toward her New Moon, we want to remove all the filters, let go of the facade and dive deep within to feel.  With the Scorpio Moon influence coming in, you and others around you may feel more emotionally intense, psychic, and passionate!

The Transits

On Saturday the Moon will conjoin the South Node at 3:48 am indicating a time of release, decrease, or emotional purging.

Then at 10:05 am the Moon in Libra will perfect a square to Pluto in Capricorn which represents intense emotions, an irrevocable change happening, or something very cathartic taking place.  It could also feel like we got sucked down into an emotional pit of quicksand.  So, watch your step.

In the afternoon, at 1:39 pm the Moon ingresses into the sign of her fall, Scorpio, and instead of coming up for air from the quicksand pit, we are dropped below into the wide open ocean to either sink or swim.  When the Moon is in Scorpio it is like we are walking on the bottom of the “emotion ocean,” feeling everything as deeply as possible.

Then, in the evening on Saturday, Mars in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus retrograde at 4:11 pm and this could be an aggressive, strong, and demanding transit.  There could be breakthroughs, revelations, and uprisings as Uranus is the planet of revolution and shock!  With Mars in his traditional home sign of Scorpio and the modern ruler being Pluto, we can expect confidence, power, and/or a penetrating sting that is surprising and jolts us out of whatever rut we are currently in!  This can be very disruptive, especially since Mars and Taurus are both fixed signs meaning that they don’t like change all that much.  So, I feel this transit denotes earthquakes, storms, and mudslides.  Be careful operating heavy machinery, kitchen knives, or vehicles.  Mars and Uranus in opposition can easily symbolize accidents, cuts, and sudden injuries. 

Be mindful.

SUNDAY, November 12, 2023

The Moon

The Moon on Sunday is getting closer and closer to conjoining the Sun in Scorpio and will be in Scorpio all day.

The Transits

The Moon perfects an opposition to Jupiter in Taurus retrograde at 7:09 a.m.  The Moon in Scorpio in her fall opposite Jupiter retrograde could mean we are taking the time to reflect on what we have been able to build so far this year.  What resources do we have?  What possessions are we dealing with?  What items of luxury have we been able to obtain?  This is a very real look at what we have been wanting, what we have been able to acquire, and what we still desire or need.  Scorpio is about our desires and Taurus is about what we own and possess.  Since Jupiter is the greater benefic, whatever decisions we make with this transit of what to keep and what to throw away, will be to our benefit. 

Then at 8:37 am the Moon in Scorpio makes a sesquiquadrate to Neptune in Pisces retrograde which may feel like there are some setbacks or delays to our ideal vision of how we would like something in our life to feel like, look like, or sound like.  This transit reminds me of writing poetry or lyrics for a song and getting hung up on a particular chord progression or stanza and having to just walk away for a bit to let it all simmer in your mind for a while.  It’s okay, we can take breaks from our art and come back when the inspiration starts to flow again—the trine between the Moon and Neptune will perfect tomorrow, and that represents flow!  So hang in there, this is only a temporary setback!

By Sunday evening at 8:16 pm the Moon then forms a quincunx to Chiron in Aries retrograde.  The quincunx is a 150° angle that represents change and separation and between the Moon and Chiron we are dealing with our emotions, egos, and where in life we feel we need healing by means of sacrifice.  So, we could experience some sort of emotional sacrifice on Sunday that feels odd or out of character and this sacrifice creates a change or a separation from something or someone and it could be quite emotionally charged.

Next Week

MONDAY, November 13, 2023

The Moon

Today is the day of the New Moon which will be at 20°Scorpio 43’ at 4:27 am and then she will ingress into Sagittarius at 9:22 pm, so the energy may change on Monday from emotionally intense, psychic, and passionate to more hopeful, optimistic, and free-spirited!

Interestingly, Pablo Picasso had a Sagittarius Moon and a Scorpio Sun and after reading about his character and life on Wikipedia and his somewhat insatiable appetite for sex, I find it really interesting that his Sagittarius Moon was conjunct the North Node in his fifth house of children, romance, recreation, and creativity!  The North Node tends to amplify things and it certainly seems to have amplified the fifth house topics! 

The Transits

There are several transits going on with the Moon on Monday and a couple with other planets, so I am going to focus on the most important ones.

We start with the New Moon at 4:27 am at 20°Scorpio 43’.  The New Moon is the point in the lunar cycle where we set new intentions for the next month.  We may start new things, plant new seeds, and begin new ways of being.  This New Moon officially ends the eclipse period, but the effects of the eclipses in October may roll out over the next 6 months until the next eclipse cycle begins in March of 2024. 

Right after the New Moon, at 5:50 am, the Moon in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus retrograde at 21° of their respective signs, so this New Moon may bring in something very surprising that sends a shock through your system! 

Then at 7:18 am, the Moon conjoins Mars in Scorpio at 22° indicating some intense energies that may increase our courage, drive, and aggressiveness.  The Moon and Mars can also mean fights, arguments, and a general sense of anger to the day, and since Mars and the Moon just opposed Uranus this could indicate a sudden cutting off of people, situations, or circumstances.  This can also indicate accidents and injury so please be careful!

Then the Moon in Scorpio forms a trine to Neptune in Pisces retrograde at 25° which could mean a beautiful release of emotions, music, or artistic passion.  This could be a really positive transit in that it is trine and is the nature of Jupiter but it is also the Moon in her fall with Neptune, a planet that represents loss, deception, and confusion, so this could also be a waterfall of emotions coming out about something very deep, intuitive, and spiritual.

At 12:20 pm the Sun in Scorpio joins the fun and opposes Uranus in Taurus retrograde.  The Sun and Uranus in an opposition indicate a sudden and unexpected turn of events that sends you on a new direction or path.  This is like the plot twist in the story that is unpredictable and therefore can be somewhat exciting, terrifying, or illuminating!

In the afternoon, Venus in Libra forms a sesquiquadrate to Uranus in Taurus retrograde which means that whatever is happening on this New Moon is creating some tension and setbacks to something Venusian like your relationships, your art, your money, or something you value.  It’s like Venus may try to intervene with all the oppositions, but gets put on the back burner and has to just sit there and simmer while fate plays out.

In the evening before the Moon ingresses into Sagittarius, she forms a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn meaning that there is an opportunity for healing, for deep truths to be expressed after all the oppositions are done.

At 9:22 pm the Moon ingresses into the adventurous, optimistic, and hedonistic sign of Sagittarius. 

And finally, the Moon in Sagittarius will end the evening in a square to Saturn in Pisces at 0°35’ of their respective signs.  The Moon in Sagittarius and Saturn in Pisces are both not doing too great in terms of their essential dignity.  The Moon is peregrine in the first 10 degrees of Sagittarius and Saturn is only in his own decan in the first 10 degrees, so this means that the square aspect between the two celestial bodies will be harder; and more challenging.  The Moon and Saturn in a square can mean heavy feelings of isolation, grief, melancholy, and sadness.  Even though the Moon is more optimistic in Sagittarius relying on faith and positivity to keep the flame of inspiration burning, it’s like as soon as she goes into Sagittarius, instead of flying high and free, she’s caged like a pet bird.  This has been happening since Saturn came into Pisces back in March of 2023, so it’s not like it’s totally new, but it could still feel like a bummer. 

So, just be aware that Monday, the New Moon, could have a lot of wild card energy as well as reality checks and it’s very unpredictable what the wheel of fortune will bring us this time!

The Tarot Spread

Let’s move on to a 3-card spread for the week representing…

What You Think, What You Feel, & What You Do.

The first card representing What You Think is:

King of Cups

On this card, we see a king sitting on his throne on a little islet in a stormy sea.  In the background, there is a whale breaching and a ship sailing steadily.  He holds a golden chalice and a scepter. 

Cups represent emotional mastery, and the King of Cups is someone who is able to handle his emotions in the midst of chaos.  He is kind, compassionate, and has helpful advice.  He is able to keep himself balanced by being emotionally detached.

The court cards can represent people in our lives or they can represent a situation that embodies the energy of the court card. 

As the card for What You Think, I feel this could be one of two things: either you are thinking of yourself as the King of Cups or you are thinking about someone else as a King of Cups.

If you are thinking of yourself, I would say that you feel you are emotionally stable, navigating the seas of emotions like a seasoned pro. 

If the King of Cups represents someone you are thinking about in your life, they are someone who has an even temperament and is able to handle whatever ups and downs life throws at them.  Cups are the element of water and therefore this could literally mean this person is a water sign: Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces.

The second card representing What You Feel is:

Queen of Wands

On this card, we see a queen sitting on her throne. She is wearing a red gown, with a light-colored robe over it. By her feet is a black cat. The Queen of Wands is gazing outward, apparently beyond the cat, looking rather satisfied with herself. Upon her neck, holding her robe together is a large golden clasp with the head of a lion. Behind her, painted on her very tall throne are two lions rearing up on their feet, paws touching, and some sunflowers. She holds a sprouted wooden staff in one hand and a sunflower in the other.

Wands represent spiritual mastery and The Queen of Wands symbolizes mastery of self-knowledge. According to Angeles Arrien in the Tarot Handbook, “She represents the process of self-discovery and the splendor of awakening to the deepest essence of who we are.” (Arrien, 1987)3

Again, the court cards can represent people in our lives or situations. So, this card could indicate a fire sign: Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius person being involved.

As the card for What You Feel, I think this could be that either you feel that you are expressing your will and purpose in an uplifting, creative, and inspiring way, or, you are interacting with someone who you feel embodies these traits and who is inspiring you to be more of yourself.

And the third card representing What You Do is:

2 of Pentacles

On this card, we see a juggler, dancing and juggling two pentacles that are linked by the infinity symbol.  In the background, there are two ships sailing on large waves in the ocean. One ship is about to go up and one ship travels down, symbolizing life’s ups and downs. 

The Two of Pentacles is about balancing your priorities, the hats you wear, and the responsibilities you have. 

As the card for What You Do and in relation to the two previous cards for What You Think and Feel, I feel this card is saying that you may be juggling your emotions and your thoughts or actions. Maybe there are things that you are feeling that are in conflict with what you are thinking or vice versa. Maybe you have a lot on your plate right now and you don’t have time to explore your emotions because it could be too intense and cause you to drop one of your pentacles, so you are remaining detached emotionally in order to handle the juggling act.

If this reading is about two other people in your life, you may feel like you are balancing their influences and this may be a full-time job!

The Two of Pentacles comes up when we need a bit of recognition that we are doing a good job right now keeping all these things in our lives in order, but it is also a reminder to prioritize our tasks, manage our time, and take breaks when required.

I feel, in a lot of ways, this card is about “adulting” which is great, we all need to take care of and manage our lives, but at some point, we have to put everything down and take care of our emotional and spiritual needs; step away from the mundane tasks and do something to fill up our cups so we can pick those tasks back up and keep going.

So, this card is a reminder to remember to take care of yourself too!

So, to recap:

What you think is that managing your emotions is key.

What you are feeling is inspired to take action!

What you are doing is managing the tasks at hand and doing them well!  Time management is key right now and breaks should be scheduled in!

What do you think? 

Do these cards represent yourself or someone in your life?  I would love to hear your thoughts!  Please leave a comment.

In conclusion for the weekly forecast…

I would love to leave you with a Soul Card to ponder for the week as we release and let go of the old versions of ourselves during the Balsamic phase of the Moon and embrace whatever tiny new Plutonian seeds of intention we have coming in with the New Moon on Monday!

What are we shedding and what are we bringing in?

I would love to hear your thoughts about this week’s forecast and this card!

I hope this is helpful!
