Tarot Card of the Week: Ace of Swords

Morgan Greer - Ace of Swords

Tarot Card of the Week: May 30, 2016-June 5, 2016

Ace of Swords

If there is something you need to tackle this week, make sure you have your facts straight first.

The Ace of Swords — this version from the beautiful Morgan Greer Tarot — denotes thoughts, mental agility and the use of these things in your life.

It may be that you are trying to decide something and need to weigh up both sides of your decision to see what options you have or it may be that you are “hit” with a new idea or thought and want to get it off the ground before the momentum leaves.

Either way this is a great time to flex your mental agility and perhaps put some of it to the test. If there is anything you have been putting off that requires concentration on your part then you may that that comes more easily for you this week.

You may be quite surprised with what you come up with as the image of the sword in this card looks so solid and stable. As it cuts its way through the crown you can see there are two different versions of greenery being shown.

Weekly Astro Forecast — May 29, 2016 – June 4, 2016

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of May 29, 2016 – June 4, 2016:

This week starts out on Sunday with a “bang,” starting with Mars having retrograded back into Scorpio, and Saturn and Jupiter involved in a tense square. Mars is at home in Scorpio — a sign it co-rules with Pluto — and is especially powerful there, but because it’s retrograde and at an anaretic degree, the potential for that power to be misused is strong. Hidden resentments — or long-forgotten slights — can come bubbling back up to the surface and if so, they will need to be dealt with during this time.

How Shikakai Saved My Hair

How Shikakai Saved My Hair ·

Hello 🙂  My name is Malia.  I am a natural empath, intuitive, practitioner of energy healing.  Although, there are times it seems more accurate to say I am an interpreter of vibration, feeling and color.

My journey in learning about myself and my gifts has led to an insatiable thirst for knowledge of natural healing for the physical body.  The more I trust my gifts, the more I want to be connected to the earth and my highest, most natural expression of who I am in this amazing body. I plan to write about many wonderful discoveries, but for today, I’m focusing on hair care.

This aspect of my own journey felt evermore important to me in recent years as the long and very thick locks of my youth seemed to be leaving me. Day after day, handfuls of hair were falling away.  I started to realize how much I identify with how I look, how much value I had placed on how I thought the world viewed my physical body, and through that experience, I started to learn why I was losing my hair.

The first thing I began to do was appreciate and love my body, just the way it is, right now.  I started to resist the impulse to judge myself, and I started to notice how many women degrade themselves in an attempt to feel like a part of the group (usually other women) or in an attempt to gain attention and praise from the group (usually inclusive of men).  This inauthentic attempt to connect with others, without being willing to shine myself, was my own way being for most of my life, but it became very clear and obvious to me once I stopped and stepped outside the old pattern, that there was a better way.

Tarot Card of the Week: Two of Cups

SM-2C

Tarot Card of the Week: May 23, 2016 – May 29, 2016

Two of Cups

Venus enters Gemini this week and brings with it opportunities for you to connect with your “other half.”

Whether you’re in a relationship or just looking, the Two of Cups — this version from the Sun and Moon Tarot — is all about falling in love, either opening yourself up to new experiences or reigniting a connection with someone you’re already involved with.

It’s this process of falling in love that reveals to us — in perfect clarity — ourselves at our very best. It’s where we put our best version of ourselves forward and the Universe responds by opening up unanticipated doors.

The Two of Cups is known as the “Love” card. It refers to that love at first sight sense of finding your other half. It’s the mutual attraction card, the “soul mate” card, and so much more. It can represent the process of falling in love or renewing a love connection that is capable of replenishing itself over time.

There’s a synergy that pulls two people together and echoes their feelings back to one another. In this respect the Two of Cups is more about falling in love with yourself, as seen through your partner’s eyes.

Numerology Card of the Week — Spirituality

You may decide to pray, meditate, chant, or do yoga, or even periods of silence.

Only you can know your ultimate path to God.

Tarot of the Week: Strength

StrengthTarot Card of the Week: May 16, 2016- – May 22, 2016
Strength

A beautiful woman sits over a lion.  She appears calm and without fear as she is surrounded by wild beasts.  If you look closely on the card, she stretches out her hand it may be a glow of inner energy.  She has given a golden touch to each of the big cats and has captivated them into her power. The strength of her gilded hands has overcome the cats with total and pure enlightenment.   In a moment of grace, your crown chakra is opened in your inner nature awakens to your inner strength which is greater than your natural wildness

The woman as a representation of our higher selves has tamed the lion, our shadow self.  She has tamed our base passions and desires that need to be controlled.  And so this card is about having inner strength in order to gracefully deal with life and its problems in a manner that examines our courage and compassion.

The Strength card doesn’t necessarily mean brutal physical strength, but that inward strength we all have. This card reflects a compassionate approach. When you see this card in a reading you are like the woman who offers love and patience to the dangerous lion in order to tame him. Your treatment of others with love and compassion will get you exactly what you want.

Tarot Card of the Week: The Empress

Medieval Enchantment

Tarot Card of the Week: May 9, 2016 – May 15, 2016

The Empress

It’s time to take things easy, sit back and not react to what is going on around you. Why should you when you are feeling so calm and emotionally relaxed?

This is the Empress card, from Nigel Jackson’s beautiful Medieval Enchantment Tarot. It represents feminine strength and power, regardless of gender.

There is a grand earth trine involving Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto in play this week, which should be giving you a sense of peace and also the capacity to clear up any emotional problems you have been experiencing or trying to get to the bottom of.

With the planets of communications (Mercury), love (Venus), personal expansion (Jupiter) and depth (Pluto) all lining up in unison, not much can go wrong for you and it is a great chance to become clear in your own mind where you want to go next.

Venus and Mercury are especially prominent as they join together on the degree of last week’s New Moon. So if there is something you want to express to a loved one, this is the time to do it.

As all this happens in the calm, earthy and sensuous sign of Taurus, remember to take your time in composing your thoughts and to speak from the heart. 

Weekly Astro Forecast — May 8, 2016 – May 14, 2016

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of May 8, 2016 – May 14, 2016:

This week starts with a relatively uneventful Sunday and a jam-packed Monday, as far as transits go. First of all the Sun conjuncts Mercury in Taurus. This is a recurrence of an earlier conjunction (in Aries) when Mercury was still moving forward, but now it’s retrograde and making a second pass. The third pass — once Mercury turns direct again — will occur two months from now (on July 6th) and then will repeat this cycle in the fall.

Numerology Card of the Week — Time-Out

The Numerology Card of The Week For May 7th to May 13, 2016 is:

time-out

Number 37 — Time-Out: This card indicates a need to take a time-out from your busy schedule and the hustle and bustle of life.

Perhaps you have been working too hard or have a lot going on.  Maybe you’ve been tired, irritable, and anxious, or just generally feeling unwell.

If you have been under stress or any kind or have been spending time in a negative or toxic environment you must remove yourself from the situation to heal and recharge.

This is the perfect time to take a vacation.  Even a day or two away will revitalize and recharge your soul.

You don’t necessarily need to leave your house: you could lay around the house, but if so make sure you unplug your computer and shut off your phone.

In order to improve your current situation, you’re asked to adjust to and harmonize with the natural rhythm and cycles of your life — cycles that are encouraging you to take time-out  for you.

Taurus New Moon Card Reading: Results

As promised — here are the results for the Taurus New Moon Card Reading that was posted on May 3rd.

If you haven’t had a chance to pick a card, run over to our Facebook Fan page and select one before you read any further. You can also select a card from the original New Moon reading post.

This month’s results are posted below. These cards reveal your specific message for the Taurus New Moon that takes place on Friday May 6th at 16:29 pm UT (or 3:29 pm EDT).

This New Moon occurs at 16° Taurus 41′. It forms a grand trine with Pluto (at 17° Capricorn 24′ Rx) and the North Node (at 18° Virgo 53′ Rx).

The following cards were selected to represent nine different areas of focus. They’re also tied to the Moon’s conjunction to the planets as she moves through her 28-day lunar cycle.

Because Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto are all at the same degree this month that they were last, they were not included here. However, because Mercury will conjunct the Moon twice this month — once while retrograde and once in direct motion — it was included both times.
