The origins of the Tarot.

The great Swiss psychologist Carl Jung coined the term synchronicity and he used the Tarot in his psychological research. He also used Astrology and the I Ching as part of his defining what Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious are

Jung said in a short piece reveal the depth of insights that the tarot can bring. I first started reading about Jung in my first-year university way back in the ’70s/ Man and His Symbols. 

This article may not be factually correct though. Tarot cards were first designed as playing cards as a parlour game for the wealthy Italian families in the Renaissance.

It was only much later that Tarot cards became entwined with divination because of one man, Court de Gebelin in a vast treatise he channelled is the best way I can describe it.

“De Gébelin wrote an essay included in his Le Monde primitif, analysé et comparé avec le monde moderne (“The Primeval World, Analyzed and Compared to the Modern World”), volume viii, 1781. ” -Wikipedia

Here’s a factual account of the true history of tarot versus the Modern Myths.

what do tarot cards mean to you?

I just had a fabulous time at the 2nd annual Love & Light tarot International Conference in Montreal September 20-22 and there will be another one next year which I will present at and attend. I got to present along with the Queen’s of the Tarot world Mary Greer and Rachel Pollack and my other amazing friend and Tarot counsellor Katerina Wynne.   

Talk with the Love Goddess

July 24 the Moon moves from Fast and Furious Aries squaring Pluto in Capricorn and Venus and Mercury conjunct in Cancer.

Aries Moon is always impulsive and rash and likes to live dangerously.

Be careful when confronting the Big Boys. DO have sentimental communications with your mom, sister or family members, rehash the hash, and fondly remember childhood memories. Some may not be so sweet, but be careful of lashing out in anger.

Moon is Void of Course for about 5 hours until the afternoon when it enters TAURUS ruled by Venus

Taurus moon is very grounding, stubborn, sensuous, and fixated on luxury.

Mercury Retro and VENUS conjunct at 26 degrees CANCER opposing Pluto, squaring Eris in ARIES opposing Athena in LIBRA

Mercury Retrograde conjunct Venus in Cancer

is very much about communicating with the Ancient Goddess of love and romance, the Divine feminine energy of Venus directly. In meditation, a bath, shower or by water commune with the goddess of love and beauty, luxury and creativity. She will speak to you directly. 

Eris is the dwarf planet of Disturbia. This Cardinal Cross produces a lot of friction and tension. 

Eris likes to stir the shit. Those old family skeletons and conversations will be dragged out into the light. Be careful of being set up to take the fall. Pluto’d in other words. You know who Cancer is so accommodating.

Use Athena as the battle strategist in the war between the sexes and the haves and have nots to guide you.

Taurus moon squares the Leo Sun

stubborn upstaging, Taurus doesn’t back down to lions. 

We’re halfway to the next Moon cycle. August 31 at 8 degrees Leo.

Love is hard Astrology

VENUS in ARIES squares SATURN in CAPRICORN and the South Node May 7 at 20 degrees 

LOVE IS HARD you may be feeling the weight of a heavy heart, heartbreak or loss. If so I feel you loss and send you blessings and prayers.

The Master of Hard, Saturn is making love and life in general even harder right now because this is a karmic love test conjunct to the South Node of the Moon.

for some, hard love  that might sound like a good thing. 

Saturn sets up obstacles, creates limitations and slows things down. We need to have patience. Venus in Aries isn’t. These are major lessons in love about  values, patience, and what’s worth waiting for.

If Royal Baby Sussex is late it is due to Venus in Aries square to Saturn in Capricorn and the South Node. Venus in Aries is in a hurry and Saturn is obstacles and patience. ANyone born now carries this karmic blueprint. 

Venus rules women.  money, values, luxury and creativity. If your pocketbook and financial issues are being stressed these days know the reason why. Venus in Aries wants to do things new and make a fresh start. She is very independent.  You may need to be more conservative right now.Venus will enter Taurus her own sign where she is strong on May 15.

Saturn in Capricorn is an old traditionalist. We are seeing clashes of Republican anti-abortion laws and modern independent women. The pressure to move forwards while there is a huge conservative resistance to change is prominent in the world these days.

Money may get tighter thought restrictive laws and tariffs. Saturn is the tax man.

The south node conjunction brings in the karmic drain to the picture.This can be used positively to jettison old lovers, habits, patterns, investments and traditional ways of doing things now. We need to  let go, declutter, leave the past behind.

Use Venus to boldly move ahead like an Amazon warrioress. 

Yes life may feel hard for many but we are at a major turning point in the world. The dichotomy of liberal new beginnings and old doddering traditional conservative values is very intense.

Be strong, fight the good fight. Fight for love if that is what your test is all about. Stand up to your elders or any restrictions which don’t want you to be with someone of different race or religion.

The recent admission of the Pope about Priests raping and using nuns as sex slaves reveals a karmic past history of the church’s war on terror of women which they now  need to pay for their abuse of women. 

We need to move towards the North Node in Cancer which Venus is also squaring.. Feminine inspiration leadership and  protection of women and children is paramount now. 

Saturn’s energy can make you feel tired he is as heavy as lead. But Saturn is also about long-term projects, goals, patience perseverance and being on top of the mountain.

Women need to stay on the front lines as warrioresses soldiers of love battling for freedom independence the right to own their own bodies and against big government bible thumpers and the old patriarchal religions and networks.

Saturn lends a woman weight in the best way possible. Brush up on your herstory-  Max Dashu has spent 40 years compiling the Suppressed Histories archive of women who were written out of Herstory. see link http://www.suppressedhistories.net/

Lessons in Love by Level 42 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrBz158RzDM

999 Triple Hermit Journey begins

September 9, 2016 =999 in #NUMEROLOGY.

This is also the day that JUPITER enters LIBRA for over a year

and its in the middle of 2 eclipses!!! One in Virgo and one in PISCES.

Triple 9 is three HERMITS in the TAROT #9 

             

The Hermit is VIRGO energy, and indicates a turning within, an introverted time of learning to listen to the inner light, which is symbolized by the lamp held up by the Hermit to light our way in the dark. The  HERMIT is a real grounded guardian angel, his Lamp brings safety in the dark. He holds the spark of Light of spirit.

Virgo is the 6th sign, ruled by Mercury the messenger. It is the sign of service, of details, of ordering, analysis, intellectual, memory, humility, budgeting, work, community and pets. Usually, accountants, natural health doctors, chiropractors, nutritionists, herbalists, aromatherapists, pharmaceuticals,chemists, Homeopathic, ayurvedic, yoga teachers, physical trainers, doulas and the like are Virgo professions.

Virgo is earthy and rules the harvest, food, storing it, reaping what you have sown, surviving on what you have created. 

VIRGO 

Governs Baghdad, Brazil, Croatia, Greece, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, Lyon, France,Moscow, Paris, Switzerland, Turkey, Uruguay, and Washington D.C.

Virgo and PISCES have a connection as do all opposites. Virgo is where we bring spirituality down to earth, in the details, in the every day, in the chop wood, carry water. The Vestal Virgins and the Constellation of Virgo is one of the oldest. Virgin means whole and complete unto Herself, belonging to no man. To be virgin is to be untouched, unblemished, whole, innocent, pure. The Goddess could renew her virginity again and again, in fact, every month she symbolically did this. Virginity had nothing to do with sexuality originally. 

How can you make yourself VIRGIN, whole and complete, shiny and new, in the world again? 

What do you serve? Do you pay lip service?  Is your work your spiritual service? Is it “right livelihood?” as the Buddhists call it? How can you realign your spiritual path and earn money?

The HERMIT usually gives away all his worldly possession, he goes seeking and values the inner light, his inner gut instinct truth. What do you really need to possess? What is of lasting value?  This will be a time of shedding excess, cleaning up our acts on all levels, especially with the environment our eating habits and taking responsibility for our own health care. 

THE HERMIT is a loner. For many people being alone is very scary, especially women. Learning to love your own company is a very good lesson to learn from this triply Hermetic time. To really be ready to have a conscious relationship you need to be Virgin, whole and complete within yourself, male or female and not need to be with anybody.

The Hermit is HERMES, the thrice great teacher, and messenger, consciousness itself, symbolized by planet Mercury. Mercury will be RETROGRADE on SEPTEMBER 9th so this may be a real RETHINK time on all levels. MERCURY in the TAROT is the #1 card and follows the triple 9’s. At the end of 2016,  2017 is a Number 1 Year, a magical YEAR where our intention is everything.  The irony is as JUPITER leaves VIRGO he enters LIBRA on the 9/9/9 day.  Use the rest of 2016 to finish up.

MERCURY in the TAROT is the #1 card and follows the triple 9’s. At the end of 2016,  2017 is a Number 1 Year, a magical YEAR where our intention is everything.  The irony is as JUPITER leaves VIRGO he enters LIBRA on the 9/9/9 day.  Use the rest of 2016 to finish up. Mercury will also be RETROGRADE for a 4th time this year as we go into 2017.  

 

999 is A triple completion, triple perfection, triple endings.

What do you need to perfect and complete?  

Prepare for this date as a major turning point in 2016. 

What are your thoughts on the Hermit?
