Tarot Card of the Week: Feb 29, 2016 – Mar 6, 2016
The Phoenix
This week may see you feeling like your carefully constructed world is falling apart all around you.
The Phoenix is the Incidental Tarot’s version of the Tower card. It refers to abrupt and unsettling changes that can take you outside of your comfort zone, through the sense that everything happening around you is completely outside of your control.
This version of the card puts some of those challenges into perspective. The references here are less about destruction and more about transformation.
The destruction is evident — and necessary — but the focus shifts to what is accomplished and gained by letting go of all that’s been holding you back.
There are trial by fire connotations here, in addition to the obvious alchemical references. Notice that the Phoenix is not just rising out of the ashes, but also rising above the tumultuous waves of emotion.

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of Feb 28, 2016 – Mar 5, 2016:
We start the week with a Sun / Neptune conjunction in Pisces on Sunday. This aspect can see you feeling inspired to make your dreams a reality or it can see you escaping into a world of fantasy and delusion. It’s a highly receptive aspect that may see you lacking in boundaries but full of creative potential and Utopian ideals.
How to Get Honest and Accurate Psychic Readings
How can you as a client make sure that you are really getting the most honest accurate reading? Often we tend to believe this is not something a consultant can control or have any participation with.
Well, the truth is you do! There are several things that you can know and be aware of in order to make sure that this is what you will and are getting in your reading.
A lot of that is based on who you are choosing as your reader yes, but even on that subject it will make a big difference to make sure you consult with experienced readers who’ve been working a number of years or extend enough time for a reputable company that specializes in spirituality, psychic, and tarot readings.
Even within that system, there are some recommendations as well, as here on Psychic Scoop, we have been handpicked and tested for accuracy.
Another obvious way is to verify if the reader has regular clients and read their reviews. A reliable honest reader will have repeat clients and good ratings overall. There can be always the one or three stars, etc., as some clients unfortunately come to the reading too upset or vulnerable and not ready for truth or disappointed with the results, a 100 percent perfect connection with each reader might not always be established on the same way or time. However, the good ratings need to be grossly outnumber the bad ones.
Tarot Card of the Week: Perception
Perception – Emerald Stone:
“The heart knows what the eyes cannot see.”
Tarot Card of the Week: Feb 22 – Feb 28, 2016
Perception
This week’s card is “Perception,” from the Chakra Wisdom Oracle deck by world renowned psychic, Tori Hartman.
A princess wanders into her untended garden and finds a beautiful and brilliant emerald stone. The stone speaks and tells the princess to open an old wooden door. She enters a dark corridor and the door slams shut.
Afraid, she moves forward until her hand falls upon another door. It opens to reveal the same garden she left behind; only now it is beautiful, filled with flowers, butterflies, and birds. It is magnificent and familiar.
This card is about transformation in the heart, a shift in perception, the unknown and a promise of a richer experience in life.
We can ask ourselves: What in my life needs tending?
The Emerald Stone represents our heart chakra, which resonates with the colour green and radiating bright green healing light. The butterflies speak of transformation, rebirth and possibility. The little birds represent viewing things from a higher perspective.
The princess is turning away from the darkness of the door and towards the light beautiful and abundant garden.

This week starts with a Gibbous Moon on Sunday in warm, dynamic, creative Leo. It trines Saturn and Uranus and then squares Mars. The Moon in Leo represents a time for feeling good about yourself and for expressing creative drives. It’s good for strutting your stuff and letting your love light shine.
Tarot Card of the Week: Five of Swords
Tarot Card of the Week: Feb 15 – Feb 21, 2016
Five of Swords
This week’s card is the Five of Swords, this version from the beautiful Yoga Tarot.
This is a card that usually denotes friction, sharp words with others or even legal disputes.
However, the imagery on this version looks as if the friction, negative thoughts or any disputes you are having are within your “self” and it is time to look within for the answers and seek inner clarity.
There is something very “night and day” about this card. It is as if you can just extend your hand through an invisible shield and there you have the opposite thought, feeling or circumstance to what you are experiencing now in the present.
You are poised, you are in alignment, you are concentrating and yet what you see is a mirror image with perhaps no answers just yet in what you are trying to achieve and indeed what you may be trying to achieve is calmness and contemplation itself without the need to act or speak out.
To just let all around you take its course while you remain calm and untouched yet always with the awareness of what is going on without and within you.

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of Feb 14, 2016 – Feb 20, 2016:
Happy Valentine’s Day (and week!). The week starts out with a dignified Moon in Taurus on Sunday that makes harmonious aspects to both Jupiter and Venus before it’s done. Keep these in mind because they’re good romance transits and can hopefully balance out some of the more difficult aspects (a square to the Sun and an opposition to Mars).
Five Ways to Bring Love Back to Valentine’s Day
Have you ever wondered how to bring love back to Valentine’s Day?
When I was a kid, I loved Valentine’s Day – the whimsical colours, the chalky-message candy hearts, the box filled with silly cards from all my classmates… but as an adult, I began to buy into Valentine’s Day pressure. Was I getting the right, most thoughtful gift from my sweetie? Did he have something special planned for dinner or flowers?
I really agonized about these things and they become expectations that lead to what expectations always lead to: disappointment. Every year therapists, psychics and astrologers hear from people who are on the brink of desolation because they are still pining for someone who left their life, or because they feel alone and unloved, or because their loved one isn’t meeting their expectations.
How did something that’s supposed to be fun get so dark? Ever since a certain famous card manufacturer started mass producing Valentine cards in 1913 in Kansas City, the world has had an arbitrary way to measure the presence and absence of love. And because comparison takes us away from what we HAVE, it’s given us a way to compare our lives to a story of what should be. The right ring, the right dinner, the right romantic setting, the right person. All that pressure adds up to disappointing bad dates, lonely nights, and worse. How do we stop this madness?
Here are Five Ways to bring LOVE back to Valentine’s day:
Are There Spirits Among You?
How can you tell?
The hair on the back of your neck stands up when you walk into a room. A cool breeze touches your cheek and there is no open window. You see movement out of the corner of your eye but there is no one there. You take a picture and an unexplainable shadow shows up. Could there be spirits among you? Someone trying to contact you? Could it be your own spirit guide or angel? Perhaps it is someone you know who has passed on and is trying to communicate? At other times you may feel a sort of overwhelming presence, a feeling that someone, or someone you know is right there with you. A feeling that is so strong that you could swear it is true! That a ghost or someone you’ve known and loved is sitting in the same room with you.
Tarot Card of the Week: Wheel of Fortune
Tarot Card of the Week: Feb 8, 2016 – Feb 14, 2016
Wheel of Fortune
This week you may be looking at the ups and downs in your life and thinking about how they’ve led you to where you are today. The Wheel of Fortune card is associated with fate, destiny, “karma,” life cycles and both good and bad luck.
Sometimes we blame ourselves for the down times (assuming we’ve “brought it all on ourselves”) while viewing the up times as outside of our control.
We all experience these up and down cycles — and we all try to maximize the former while minimizing the latter. But the Wheel of Fortune — this version from the beautiful Feng Shui Tarot — tells us that both are necessary and that the good times wouldn’t be good without the frame of reference of the not-so-good times.
The Wheel in this version is balanced between solid ground and turbulent waters. Four colored lanterns — representing the four elements (fire, earth, wind and water) — keep it suspended in midair.
The Wheel of Fortune is tied to “luck” and you may see yours turning this week with a night sky lit up with planets — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto — and the New Moon in Aquarius, the sign related to sudden change and unexpected events.

This is a busy week with lots of planetary activity and fortunately most of it very harmonious. We start with a Venus / Mars sextile on Sunday, which brings love and romance to the forefront. This transit is all about going with the flow and staying in sync with your loved ones. It’s good for attracting new people into your life and for collaborating rather than putting up resistance.
