Rhodochrosite
Elements: Fire, Water
Chakras:  Anahata (Heart- 4th), Manipura (Solar Plexis, 3rd)

Rhodochrosite carries the vibration of love, it is a powerful emotional healer, working on a personal level by helping to release emotional wounds held within.  It is a stone that restores courage and revives the heart center.  It enhances creativity and play – vibrations from the seat of the will – the heart.  I recommend this stone for Leos under stressful aspects, or those with Sun (rules Leo) under stressful aspects, as it enhances the vibration of joy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I grabbed mine yesterday.  It is small, knobby, and egg shaped with delightful patterns of pink and grey.  I choose my stones by instinct as I walk out the door.  I will carry one that resonates with me on that particular day.  Good choice it turns out as Mars Rx in Virgo is opposite Venus in Pisces.

Someone seems to be itching to start a fight over spirtual / healing modalities.  I have Mars on the 12th sign of Sagittarius, Sun / Uranus / Pluto on the 9th (natural house of Sagittarius).  For those of you unfamiliar with astrology ~
It all adds up to me being an open-minded, freedom – loving spiritual explorer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was awake very early in the am working and pulled this card before bed.
The shocking revelation – bolt out of the blue – enlightenment leading to freedom.

Followed by the 3 of swords, heartache, rejection, stormy weather for the emotions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mars will oppose Venus for the next 8 days
fighter vs. lover : which are you ?
I know which one I am.

Raw Power

Posted on by

Last night I was reading tarot in bed and pulled all four Aces.  Now that doesn’t happen everyday, has only happened to me once that I can remember, in my readings for myself.  I have been reading tarot for 27 years.


I learn the most by reading for myself and seeing how the cards play out in my life.  I find it the best way to be exact in readings with others because I am so familiar with the energies on a personal level.

Last nights reading reminded me of an old friend of mine that had kids…I stayed with them for awhile in between living arrangements.  Her boys were young – squirming in their chairs, slurping noodles, making faces, and rocking back in their seats.  I often heard her exclaim, “Four on the floor !” meaning chair legs down, sit still and eat now !

Steady as she goes, Captain. 

All four Aces will bring fresh new creative energies in all phases of life.
Aces are the pure, raw, initial outgoing energy of the suit – Cardinal energy !  New things are on their way… !

Wands = Fire, creative energy and inspiration
Pentacles= Earth, skill sets and building on the material plane
Swords= Air, intellect, communications, socializing
Cups= Water, emotions, intuition, compassion

Reading tarot is like reading natal charts – identify the predominant energies, and how are they operating and where.  Tarot card placement in a spread is just as important as planetary placements.  How do the cards blend, how do the planets work together..?

Once I was astonished at the number of wands in my spread, almost all of them were.   Soon thereafter, I had news that brought on a bit of a panic.  (Luckily, wands energy moves quickly, it soon passed.)

One sad day before work, I drew the Death card covered by the Empress.  I went to work only to have my boss tell me a good friend had died.  I knew the couple and was close friends with them both, and their kids.   I drew a card to help comfort my girlfriend after her husband had passed – a message from him, if he could – and pulled the 2 of Cups.  That was so perfect, and tarot is right on the money, just like astrology.

The Page of Wands means a good message – incoming or outgoing depending on the placement in the spread.

Right before my lunch, I drew the Ace of Wands in the final card position.
Creative energy !
Now made manifest !

where Gaia rests

Posted on by

This reading is a 3 card draw.
Clarification of energies surrounding the Full Moon in Cancer.

Energies prior, during, after.
Last card is the message from spirit at the bottom of the deck.

Cards are from the deck Soulcards 2 Deborah-Koff Chapin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gibbous

Full Moon

Disseminating

Message from Spirit

Full moon card is extraordinarily appropriate –
Full Moons happen when the Sun is opposite Moon, and Gaia is in the middle.

Sun is the male, ego, ambition
Moon is the female, instinct, emotion

Oppositions are finding the balance between the two energies.
The middle ground is where Gaia rests in the sky.
Our home.
(Cancer rules the home)
 Moon rules Cancer and represents the Cosmic Mother.

Interesting during this lunation we have a need to restrict in a Venus ruled sign trying to find balance with the need to expand in the other Venus ruled sign.

Venus rules love, art, money, and harmony.
Venus rules Libra of balance.
Venus rules Taurus of Earth.

What does this spread say to you..?

King of Wands

Posted on by

Sun entered Sagittarius November 22.

Charming, impulsive travellers with a love for learning and adventure, Sagittarians are blunt, and can usually be found regaling the entire room at he party with hilarious bawdy jokes.  Sagittarians are optimistic, freedom-loving, and more fun than a barrelful of monkeys !   In relationships they need a friend and a mate – you have to be a buddy or it won’t fly.

They tend to be philosophical and extremely open-minded, love different cultures, probably dig national geographic, camping, going on tour at the drop of a hat, and the open road forever calls to them.  Happy-go-lucky Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so they have a way of getting out of tough spots with a Cheshire grin and a ‘c’mon baby, loosen up’  vibe.

Where you find Jupiter in your chart is where you are given a blessing of sorts, a cosmic good luck clover, a dash of hope and a wink from the gods/goddess.  Jupiter is the greater fortune, the beneficial planet in your natal, whatever it aspects has a blessing, and expands (for good or ill).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When my friend Donnaleigh de LaRose asked the question, “Which tarot card says ‘trouble’ to you ?”  I didn’t hesitate even one second.  King of Wands.
The gals on facebook thought it was funny I answered so quick – true story, though…that fiesty fiery King speaks of all my Sagittarians in one. card.

Ahhh… but I love the Centaurian archers.
Love LOVE  LOVE.
I have dated more of them than any other sign.
Now I know why, since I learned astrology.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have Mars (desire) in Sagittarius, Venus (love) conjunct Jupiter (rules Sagittarius) and a 9th house (natural house of Sagittarius) stellium.
We are magnetized ~ my Sag Mars (steel) in the 11th quintile Uranus (magnetics) in the 9th.
They are the vortex !

My former husband (Super Sag with 4 planet stellium) had Jupiter smack on my Saturn and I really loved him, had a crush on him in high school, we’re still good friends.  We travelled all over the country to hear music and have fun.  His Jupiter really greased the wheels on my Saturn, we had some really great times.

I’d be rich if I had a dollar for every time I said to a Sagittarius, “I can’t believe you just said that !”
God they are hilarious though – I just shake my head and laugh…

One Sag ex boyfriend accidentally set my hair on fire in college, then started singing the Doors lyric, “I see your hair is burning, burning like a fire”.  Stinker.

My first Sag boyfriend I don’t remember being very funny, he mostly just showed up for sex, then left.  (That is low Sag- but it suits some of the Sagittarian men I have spent time with.  They also had the added bonus quality of feeling free to  s t r e t c h  the truth when it suited them.)

Note : I know there are truthful Sagittarians on the planet , I just haven’t dated them.  yet.

They funniest Sag line lately was during a feng shui lecture about lucky double ducks or whatever in the bedroom.  “…sure is awful bossy about what goes in my bedroom – I’m gonna ask where I should put the camera! ” ~  HA  !
omg !  you are soOo not !
Like I said, hilarious.

Cheers Sagittarius !
You’re a blast and I love yas ~

delve deep, cosmos

Posted on by

Hello beautiful people~
This post is for my friend Andromeda who was asking about an I Ching tarot deck.
This is the I Ching – Holitzka published by AGMueller, artist: Klaus Holitzka.

One card draw, with spirit message from the bottom of the deck.
Intention: enlightenment and clear vision on the path to the most benevolent outcome for all readers.

The first card I drew seemed too personal, so I asked the cosmos to delve deeper but more universal.
The universe answered with this card.  haha, that works !
fyi: I am not using the little white book included for interps, for that I have other sources.

~~~~~~~
Clustering :  Gather assemble collect, crowds; a great effort brings great rewards.
Success ~ the way is open ~ unite people through common purpose in order to achieve great works.  Have a plan and carry it out.  The people gather around a strong central vision.  By contemplating how people come together, you can understand the motives of all beings under heaven.

~~~~
Augmenting : Increase, expand, develop, pour in more, a fertile and expansive time.
This is a time of increase, advance and development.  Increase your involvements and pour in more energy.  Have a plan and carry it out . (again !) It is a good time to begin a major project or new enterprise.  Enrich everything, give without limits, like the rising sun.  Stimulate people at their work.  ( Is this not Mars in Virgo, the sign of work and service ?! )  When heaven spreads out, earth gives birth.  If you reflect this, you can move with the flourishing time.

all the best~
