Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast by MelodieHere is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of Apr 30, 2017 – May 6, 2017:

This week starts on Sunday with Moon in Gemini — still New — involved in a t-square with Chiron and Saturn, and on the verge of going void of course. The void of course Moon can see you feeling aimless or adrift in a sea of uncertainty, while the aspects to Saturn and Chiron can put a damper on your mood. It can see you questioning the meaning of life — your life in particular.

Tarot Card of the Week: Nine of Pentacles

nine of pentaclesTarot Card of the Week:  April 24 – April 30, 2017

Nine of Pentacles

Nine of Pentacles, the card of the week, comes from one of my favorite decks, the Deviant Moon Tarot by Patrick Valenza.

The deck was given to me as a gift. At first look of the box, I wasn’t sure I would like it but felt a pull to open it and now I use it a lot in my readings.

If you should be lucky enough to have the Nine of Pentacles come up in the present or future of your reading, it can mean something good in a monetary or material situation is coming your way.

Looking at the picture on the card, you see an independent and confident woman taking a walk with her little pet. There are pentacles dropping down around her indicating good things are coming to her.

The Nine of Pentacles represents The Lord of Material Gain, the element of Earth, the direction of North and the Season is Winter. The Zodiac signs are Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo. Dark grapes are the herbal associated with the nine of pentacles. Dark grapes are good for your blood, high in iron and the leaves are often used in astringents.This card usually signifies monetary / material gains. It can come from unexpected sources like an inheritance, winnings, settlements or monetary gifts.

Tarot Card of the Week: King of Pentacles

King of Pentacles

This week I present you with one of my favorites cards in the Mythic Tarot Deck, the King of Pentacles. The card tells the story of King Midas, who could turn everything he touched into pure gold.

He’d done a favor for the Goddess Dionysus, and she granted him any wish he wanted. Without thinking, he asked that everything he touches turn to gold. Unfortunately, the dream came true.

His food, his servants, his dogs, everything turned into gold. Including his own beloved daughter. He begged the Goddess to take the gift back. She did by having him wash is hands in a magical river and everything went back to how it was.

The moral of the story? He was already a wealthy man, no golden touch was needed for true happiness. The King of Pentacles holds a coin representing money. He sits on his throne, decorated with the heads of golden goats, behind the throne we see his servants and a pile of money at his feet.

The goat which represents Capricorn in the background tells us the King is a planner and brilliant strategist.

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of Apr 16, 2017 – April 22, 2017:

We’ve got a busy week ahead with one planet turning retrograde, another planet turning direct and three planets changing signs. We start the week on Sunday, with Venus having just changed direction — from retrograde to direct motion — still stationary and still closely squaring Saturn. This is a complex configuration, with Venus strengthened by its exaltation in Pisces and mutual reception with Jupiter, but weakened by its square to Saturn.

Tarot Card of the Week: King of Swords

Tarot Card of the Week: April 10 – April 16, 2017

King of Swords

There is strength in words this week, both written and spoken. The King of Swords has a very quick mind. He is intellectual, clever and in a state of activity.

This week you may find that you are constantly on the go, and it won’t be because of the full moon energy. You have so many things to take care of that you don’t get a chance to sit down. As soon as one thing I finished something else pops up to take your attention.

As can be seen from this image in the Connolly Tarot’s version of the card, you have the capacity, imagination and intellect to see your ideas through but you may find there are so many things happening at once that you overlook something.

A list may help with this as you seem to be so inundated that what you miss is something that is needed and shouldn’t be forgotten. If you keep in mind that Mercury has just turned retrograde, on the April 10th, then you get the idea of what you are up against.

So much to do, so little time to do it in and all the while you are fighting against communication mix ups.

Jupiter and Saturn Retrograde 2017

Jupiter and Saturn Retrograde

I hope you are making it through Jupiter Retrograde without a scratch, but sometimes no matter how smart and wise you think you are, you will be enlightened with another twist and turn that will take you by surprise.

You need to remember that your destiny changes with every step that you take. Just be smart enough not to carry around the baleful ghosts of the past with every step that you take and let the past steal your future.

Jupiter Retrograde begins on February 6, 2017 at 23° Libra and stations direct on June 9, 2017 at 13° Libra.

Tarot Card of the Week: Six of Cups

Tarot Card of the Week: April 3 – April 9, 2017

Six of Cups

With Venus retrograding back into Pisces this week, dreams of yesterday and the past may be with you, as you find yourself lost in nostalgia and of times gone by.

An old friend or lover may come back into your life and reconnect with you.  Alternately you may feel the urge to reach out and touch someone from your past.

The Six of Cups — this version from Charissa Drengsen’s Steampunk Tarot — speaks of memories from the past being triggered today. Possibly by an event — a song that reminds you of days gone by, a scene from your childhood, or a scent that comes wafting back and conjures up feelings of nostalgia.

Fun times and playfulness abound for you, and children may figure prominently for you with thoughts of your own childhood being triggered by their presence.

You will feel light hearted as if you don’t need to worry about anything and in doing so you can throw from you worries that have been burdening you lately.

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of Apr 2, 2017 – April 8, 2017:

We start this week on Sunday with Mercury trining the North Node. This aspect is all about developing a comfortable rapport with others. It’s about generating a meeting of the minds and communing with those who are on the same page. As the North and South Nodes are always in opposition, the North Node trines Mercury at the same time it sextiles the South Node.
