Tarotscopes for Monday April 30 - Friday May 4th, 2012

Vesta in Taurus - Venus in Gemini
This weeks theme is Emotion, which is most symbolically represented by the suit of cups. To be more specific, it is the Two of Cups card that holds the highest presence over our week, and as the lovers gaze into each others cups, so to will you gaze into the soul of another this week. This current theme is part of a skyward war going on between Vesta the Lady of Seduction and Venus the Lady of Love, that will go on until Vesta enters Gemini and compliments Venus-Gemini-Direct. Until then, the two Goddesses in the sky are going into a Valkyrie like battle of wits as they aim to gain the most love from those of us here on earth. 

The cards are showing me that, Monday morning is going to kick off an diverse ray of energy, as each Queen claims reign over her domain, and tries to dominate the other as well. Vesta is leaving her fiery stint in Aries and is coming into her Earth Goddess zone in Taurus. This means that all signs (especially Taurians) are going to get a burst of urges that make you want to push forward, make the commitment, stay in the comfort zone, be seductive or fight to keep something from changing. Because of these astral elements, it's a great week to spend in the garden, to work on your business goals or to romance someone special.

The Taurian energy infusing Vesta brings a lust for comfort, materialism and seductive romance, which clashes with Venus's need to create, discover, take risks, seed new ideas, open up communication and reach into the great unknown. Venus in Gemini is all about the new and bold, while Vesta in Taurus is about more of what's known or what is hidden just beneath the surface. What makes things even more interesting, is that the history of Venus in Gemini... If you weren't aware... Some of the events that have passed during or shortly after a Venusian transit in Gemini:
  • Magellan set sail to prove the earth was not flat during transit set sale during the transit of 1519-1526 
  • The transits between June 1761 and June 1769 brought us the "world brain" as astronomers around the world began globally communicating for the first time, resulting in the discovery of Uranus in 1781. 
  • Shortly after the Transit of 1874 was when Edison brought us the first Telephone.
  • In the 2004 transit, several things happened - The European Union expanded to it's largest size ever (inducting 10 more countries into it's boundaries), SpaceShipOne became the first privately funded space plane to enter orbit and NASA sent their Mercurian MESSENGER into the orbit of Mercury during the same venusian transit.
So if you haven't noticed already, this week will kick of a transit of FIRSTS, and on top of it all, we are going into a moon under Virgo, the sign of the Virgin, which ironically links right up to Vesta (have you ever heard of the "vestal virgins"?) and I find it less than coincidental that the first card of the week for us is the Magician - who happens to be the child of Virgo (Vesta) and Gemini (Mercury). The Magician brings us a powerful mixture of Air and Earth as he opens us up to the possibilities in our world and encourages us towards our goals. Monday and Tuesday are great days to manifest your dreams, desires and goals in any area. The Magician is multifaceted in that he applies himself as a master of all worlds - business, love, health, family and spirituality. 


This is all well and good up until Wednesday when the moon changes into Libra, handing Venus the spirit stick, which she uses to hurl a wind storm at Vesta, and inadvertently this throws us a curve ball with the Reversed Seven of Cups. This card is often mislead when reversed, because it actually has a more positive meaning in reverse than it does in upright. The reversed Seven of Cups is a sign that although you've been confused about how to move forward, you are now beginning to see the path forward, so on Wednesday and Thursday - make the choice, cement your plans or make the ultimate commitment.

Thursday evening on into Friday brings us the Two of Pentacles and the reversed Eight of Swords, which brings more of that powerful earth-air-vesta-venus-gemini-taurus combo. Because there is so much going on during the end of the week, I suggest you actually try to lay low as much as you can. Not because you haven't got the power or know-how to move forward, but because it's going to be one of those days where you feel totally stuck trying to juggle everything going on in your life. If you can resist the urges, this too shall pass.


CAPRICORN
 
You're playing the part of the Emperor Reversed today Capricorn. That means that although there seems to be plenty of opportunities available around you, it isn't likely that you're going to notice them do to that bad mood the Leo moon left you with. Thankfully, the Three of Pentacles enters your Monday chart with Vesta in Taurus and the Moon in Virgo. That's like Triple Earth Energy for you (Capricorn-Taurus-Virgo), and in one way or another, you're really going to feel it. With the current Venus-Vesta interlude happening above, I'd reckon you're going to be feeling neglected, smothered, lustful, romantic, seductive, giving and a bit selfish. I know you're not used to this many emotional states coming at you all at once, even if you have an Air or Fire Moon sign, and it's the Gemini that Venus is in, that is really making things so complicated. To make matters worse, it looks like the Reversed Queen of Swords is slicing through your Tuesday to get to the heart of a matter of the heart, the wallet or the home needs. She could be a real person, whom you respect, or it could be a part of yourself. Remember that this Queen has two sides, one of which you can't always see. It is the other side that is often more important than the side she shows you, so try not to take it personally if she's being a bit pushy or ornery.


Wednesday and Thursday will be two more mixed days. The Three of Wands is upright, signifying that you've finally pinned down the Venus in Gemini for a moment and are able to see your choices more clearly. And being the practical earth-cappy that you are, you chose to focus more on work, which is good in a financial-spiritual sense, but it this Nine of Wands reversed tells me it's just not what you wanted. You'd prefer to be dancing seductively as a Vestal Virgin or leading the battle across the sky as a Venutian Valkyrie, though things are just not in place for it now, and you made a wise decision to focus on the more mundane takes during the middle of the week as the moon leads herself into Libra. Friday we're going to be entering a new moon in Scorpio, which will really open up your inner senses. You'll be feeling extra intuitive and contemplative as the day goes on, which is fine, but don't let yourself get carried away. The Ten of Cups reversed reminds us that our lives are often better when we don't dwell on the imperfections or lack around us. If you can remind yourself that you have a lot, and that there are opportunities all around you, you can take advantage of the Eight of Pentacles that highlights plenty of opportunities to utilize those many skills you have, to bring more income and romance into your weekend. 



AQUARIUS

This week is going to be one heck of an adventure for you Aquarius, not that you didn't see that coming. The Magician is sweeping his wand over your week, bringing you challenges, triumphs and learning lessons throughout the next five days. The day starts out slowly as your signs windy energy fizzles out on the ending Leo moon. The Three of Wands appears first in this weeks scope for you, and that is a good thing, because it means you're finally starting to see the opportunities available to you. And now that you can see them, you can finally make the choice to finish the job, make the commitment or stop procrastinating on that project. Whatever you do, the Eight of Wands says that Monday and Tuesday are not good days to start new projects, make new deals or worry about the arrows that fell flat. The Vesta-Venus play going on overhead is going to effect the balance of your love life in the middle of the week, and it looks like you're going to have to make a big choice concerning the Sun and Lovers Reversed. And trust me, this isn't a choice you want to ignore, because the Tower Reversed reminds us that we have two choices: Jump or Be Pushed.

This issue looks like it's going to carry on to the end of the week and by Friday, when the moon goes from Libra to Scorpio, you're going to really be wishing it were over with, solved or put behind you. If you dealt with the issue, then know it will pass soon. If you didn't, as I'm worried you didn't, you're going to be facing another issue that you don't want to deal with (which scorpio moons are known for - the issues we don't want to deal with) concerning a choice from the Two of Wands Reversed and a feminine issue concerning the reversed Queen of Cups. Coincidentally, the Queen of Cups is Scorpio, and that means you're going to be feeling extra emotional, so try not to splash to many people with your water as you bare your emotions with a shaky hand.


PISCES

After such a cruddy weekend, I have good news for you Pisces, things are about to look up. As we change out of the Leo Moon, whose fire rubs your watery sign the wrong way, we're going into a Virgo Moon, which means it's time to get out of that bad mood and make some Mud Pies! Your theme this week is Personal Power and Manifestation as the Ace of Wands represents your underlying mission in this life.

The Star is gracing you with her presence on Monday and Tuesday, bring you plenty of emotional and spiritual energy to replenish what you lost over the last weekend, and then some. During the middle of the week, I want you to be cautious not to be overly guarded about your money, emotions or possessions. You have the Four of pentacles in your chart, and he reminds you that while there are bad, scary or yucky issues in life, without them, the good wouldn't be as great as it is.

Thursday and Friday you're faced with a choice as the Libran Moon brings you into balance with Venus. The mixture of Venutian-Gemini-Libra energy, along with the Sun who rides herself right into the end of your week, means that regardless of what you choose, commit to or open up about - will be the right choice and bring you more happiness.


ARIES

I'm sorry to say that this week just doesn't look like your week Aries. It's not all bad, but with the earth coming at you from Vesta in Taurus and the Moon in Virgo, it's like your fire just had a huge wad of mud laid on top of it. Venus will also be trying to reach you this week, as she sends you a gust of Gemini air to keep your spark alive, though it looks like it's not going to be enough to really nourish your flames. So hold on Monday as the Blocked Page of Wands brings you some ackward news that you're not quite sure how to handle. It looks like the news is either coming from someone younger that you work with, a sibling you're not really fond of, or someone from your past that has gone well past wearing out their welcome.

On Tuesday it looks like you've lost control of a relationship, your emotions or a business partnership, and thinks may be looking rather grim. The Reversed Three of Swords compliments you on being cautious right now, but it also reminds you that often times things look worse then they appear at first. Being the quick fire sign that you are, you'll catch on quickly and make the decision, come through on your end of the deal or right your wrongs when the Chariot Reversed appears. This will be especially helpful on Wednesday as the Tower forces you to make a spontaneous decision regarding the balance of your life, it's foundations and where you see your relationship, business or health in the next five years. The Moon will have changed over to Libra by then, and this forces you to look deeply at issues concerning your social circles, intimate relationships and/or charities. Try not to let yourself get to self-indulgent as the Magician Reversed comes into your Friday and the Libran Moon gives way to Scorpio. Remember that not everyone functions on your level, but that doesn't mean they are a lost cause. Seek the information between the lines today, and you'll ascend yet another level.


TAURUS

Monday looks to be a bit cold and blue for you Taurus. The Ten of Swords lays exhausted on the ground, baring his swords brutally for the world to see. He tells me that the Venus-Vesta battle is hitting you pretty hard as the Moon transitions into Libra. It looks like something happened Sunday or early Monday during the Leo moon that left you a little scorched, and now you've become distrustful of those around you. If you've been asking yourself lately whether somebody can be trusted, the Ten of Swords sends a big fat NO answer to you. The same goes for any work, relationship or financial issues. Though keep in mind, that just because one person or situation didn't work out the way you planned, doesn't mean that the rest of the world will die away too. It just means that now you've made room for new doors to open and fill your life with new opportunities. Now, being the Taurian you are, I know that you really didn't want anything to change right now, and the Reversed Star signifies just how emotionally injured you're feeling about this. Vesta has your heart right now, and if your issue was romantic based, you might be feeling the need to go out and reconnect to yourself through some physical, material or recreational pleasures. This is fantastic if your single, but if you're not, or you're not sure that you're single "yet", then be careful about the choices you make on Wednesday, as the Eight of Cups encourages you to consider what you might be leaving behind if you walk away now.

It looks like things really start looking up as Thursday nears and the moon comes fully into Libra. Now you're really feeling the love of your mother planet Venus, and she is sending you plenty of replenishing energy and opportunities with the King of Pentacles. He says that it's time you get off your fanny and do something, build something, go somewhere or start a new project. The moon will be going into Scorpio on Friday, which just so happens to be your day of the week (Venus's Day) and as such, you've received the Six of Wands - the card of VICTORY. So whatever it was you were dealing with through the week, will end well for you no matter what you decide to do. This will put you in a good mood, finally allowing you to take advantage of the Two of Cups shinning down on your stars - so be prepared for romance, adventure and emotional nourishment.


GEMINI

Boy has Venus got some interesting adventures in store for you this week Gemini! She is presiding as the high Queen of your sign, and manifests herself as the Queen of Wands in your scope this week. She tells me that she plans to make sure that you have some fun this week, so be prepared. On Monday, it looks like the Devil is in the details, and you'll need to iron out an issue involving passionate love, business or art. If you can find away to keep yourself away from negative thinking patterns, you'll be more able to accept a positive win from the Five of Swords on Tuesday and Wednesday, instead of that worthless victory we usually see.

On Thursday you're feeling like the Fool, and that's put you in a good mood. Take advantage of that Venus power, as she decides to play nice with Vesta for a moment and allow some of that Taurian love and Gemini romance to hit your chart. Relax, open up and meditate on the direction you're going in now. Do you want this relationship to continue, end or stay where it is? Friday looks a bit dull as the Five of Pentacles reversed brings the emotional Scorpio Moon to you. Remember that sometimes it's more fun to give then to receive. Getting something back is just a bonus.


CANCER

This week is actually looking really good for you Cancer, though it may not seem that way from you point of view throughout the whole ride. Though your mood changes as quickly as the moon, and since she is going from Leo to Void to Virgo to Void to Libra to Void to Scorpio. With all that energy PLUS the Venus-Vesta battles overhead, it's no wonder you're so up and down about things this week. In the beginning of the week, the vestal virgin's quickly lap up the left over Leo Moon energy and take over your ego, which helps you take advantage of the King of Pentacles on Monday and Tuesday, who is lending you his power to make some extra money, shore up any last minute details or win favor from your court. The only string attached to this, is that the Eight of Swords reversed AND the Nine of Swords reversed are also in your early week scope and that means that although you know it's time to move forward, make the commitment, pick something or talk about it, you just don't feel ready. It's the will of the Eight of Swords urging you forward that clashes against the fears of the Nine of Swords, fears that are holding you back. If you can see through the illusion of fear this week Cancer, your world will change profoundly.

On Wednesday, as Vesta gives into Venus, the world will start to seem right again as you focus on the home, the relationship or the business, which ever one you've been neglecting the most lately. It is the Ten of Pentacles who cheers you on in your endeavor to grow, commit or look forward. That energy sends you into action in both your romantic and business sectors, which is great for your pocket book and a lover, friend or business partner in your world. Sadly though, as much as this positive energy stays in your stars of business and love, it looks like the reversed Ten of Swords is going to cloud your view with more negative illusions on Thursday, which puts you in a reclusive and down right crabby mood, which leads you to offend the Queen of Wands in some way, as she appears reversed in your later week. It maybe that you said something rash, broke a commitment you made to her or you rejected her in some way. Either way, she is a helpful figure to you and not someone you want to lose to a moments impatience. Let her know softly that you just need some time to deal with your moons, and then you two can work things out. 

This time, it is the illusions of past relationships, jobs and friendships that haunt you, and as Venus and Vesta continue to tug on your heart strings - one pulling you toward something newer and more amazing, and one urging you to hold back and keep what once was but isn't any more. This is a dynamic time Cancer, and while it will be rough, the good news is that you will make it through it. Yes, the reversed Five of Cups agrees that it is not a great feeling to finally let the past rest in peace, but sometimes it is necessary if we want to be happy. You do want to be happy, don't you dear Cancer? This Friday ends in a new Scorpio moon, making you feel extra watery and sentimental, and while it's fine to take time for grief, don't let it ruin your weekend.  


LEO

Whether you are a man or woman, this week your role is as the Queen of Swords. This means that you've got a secret side that you're hiding from the world, which is fine, as we all have a few secrets, but the Queen urges you to try and open up this week Leo, let some of the light shin in on that other side of you, otherwise you're tan will be all one sided, and we can't have that. Either way, we can work on your more prickly issues later on, as the Eight of Swords comes in to distract you on Monday, offering your work, opportunities and skill building experiences. That will come in handy as the Ace of Wands brings a financial issue into the picture, which means you'll have to spend more than you wanted to, dig into the savings or find yourself covering for someone elses lack of money.

Wednesday you should really take a rest Leo. All this infighting between Venus and Vesta has got you in a mood, and you're better off if you allow yourself to relax in the Four of Swords tomb. It's blocked today, but in a positive position, which means that if you get that rest, your world will seem right side up again sooner than you think. This will help you make it through the charity, community or financial issue that comes to surprise you on Thursday. More good news heads your way on Friday as the Reversed Nine of Cups is bringing you a rare opportunity to have a very intense wish come true. Take advantage of that opportunity and you'll find yourself in a very romantic and passionate situation on Friday evening, so long as you don't allow the Scorpio moon to get you over-focused on your love life to the exclusion of everything else. 


VIRGO

It look's like you're feeling a bit anti-social this week Virgo. I'm rather surprised by this, seeing as Vesta has you wrapped up in her seductive arms right now. Then again, the Taurian vibes she's reigning down on you, make you all sentimental, and that can cause a lot of inner battles over your commitments, obligations, responsibilities and passions. It looks like most of this bad mood is do to issues at work, where it appears there a small war going on between you and some co-workers, a boss or someone at home whose making your work day hellish. Because the card is reversed, this is clearly an open conflict and one that isn't going to go away just because you push on through it. Step back and get some support, ask for help or be vulnerable enough to say you don't know what to do - and help will come. It will come in the form of the Queen of Wands on Tuesday, who cools you down with a kind wit and seasoned wisdom. She could be a mother, sister, boss or a part of yourself that reaches out a thwacks you on the head with her staff. It's smarts a bit, but you know she's just playfully reminding you to stop being so anally rententive. You don't have to win EVERY time, and even if you do win, that doesn't mean someone else has to be the loser.

Wednesday the World seems right again as you pass into a new phase in your life along with the Moon who dances her way into Libra. You're feeling a bit social, which is important since you're going to want to be out and about if you want to take advantage of the romantic energy that Venus is offering you. Just be careful not to ignore your darker side on Thursday as the Moon Blocked comes in for closer inspection of your inner nature. Remember that we all have a dark side, and it isn't bad, doesn't need to be hidden and we certainly shouldn't be ashamed of it. Be comfortable being who you are, good-bad and everywhere in the middle. Friday it looks like you've got some chores on your list, but you may be short some supplies or resources that you need to get the job done. The Seven of Swords can help you out, but only after you make a tough moral, social, financial or romantic decision. Sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad Virgo, you know how it is.


SCORPIO

You've found yourself in the midst of some real competition this week Scorpio, and it doesn't look like it's going to go away just because you flash your deadly stinger at it. No, it looks like Vesta and Venus are in a fowl mood this week, and you're going to have to deal with the energy they're releasing into your world. It won't be all bad, but it does mean you'll need to keep a keen eye open for the things in your life you have to be thankful for, and be mindful not to over focus on what you still need or want.

On Tuesday the Virgin Moon is making your social, romantic or business life into a bid of a muddy mess as the Reversed Three of Pentacles comes to preside over your day. Try to tie a knot at the end of your rope so you'll have something to hang on to until Wednesday brings you the Libra Moon. By then you'll be feeling better, even if the Hanged Man shows that you've had to make some sacrifices this week. He says you'll be feeling so good, that you might feel like blowing some bubbles, collecting sea shells by the sea shore or involving yourself in a deep conversation with a younger man or woman you've had your eye on.


LIBRA

Wake up Libra! I know your just plain exhausted after last week, but this is no time to lay around like the Four of Swords. The prisoner of the tomb reminds you that although it's good to take some time to rest, you don't want to hide away, as your love life, business and inner spirit will stagnate and die away if you do. And I know that the Reversed King of Cups can make it especially hard to want to crawl into the light of the day on Monday, it isn't your favorite day of the week as it is. Though it's still necessary to get out there, and besides, if you can stay active in the beginning of the week, you'll find yourself with some good opportunities available from the card of Judgement, which bestows on you the fine ability to intuitively see just where you need to be and at the right time. The middle of the week are really full of power for you as Venus in Gemini allows you to take on some of her power. Just make sure you use the force for good, otherwise that Reversed Eight of Pentacles will make sure you don't see that financial return, recognition or award you've been waiting on. Friday brings us a new Scorpio Moon, which puts you in another power position with the Queen of Swords. If you are of the Feminine gender, she will fill you up with Vesta's seductive grace. If you're of the masculine gender, then look out for a lovely lady who will sneak up on you and sweep you off your feet.


SAGITTARIUS

Holy rusted metal Sagittarius! It looks like you have the best Tarotscope out of all the signs this week, which is so nice to see, since you've been being pounded by cosmic negativity the last few weeks (and then some). Though it was all in the name of growth, learning lessons and positive expansion, so the previous weeks were not lost, even though it may have seemed that way before. Thankfully, you've not only got the Love of Venutian-Gemini Air coming into nourish your inner flames, but you've got a rare opportunity to take advantage of Vesta's Taurian seduction powers. Maybe it's you're wise ability to see the compromise in all things, or maybe it's because all that Earth and Air have mixed well with your Fire, but either way, you've gotten Venus and Vesta to play nice in your sign, and it looks like you'll fully enjoy every bit of power they both send down to you.

On Monday you have the Ace of Cups, leaving you open to the ultimate romantic, emotional or spiritual experiences. With the moon changing over to Virgo on Monday afternoon, I suggest that you try to maintain some of your practical senses, as that Ace will having you feeling rather drunk with power, and you might not be thinking as clearly as you usually do. Be especially careful not to make any commitments if you plan to be under the influence of any liquid intoxicants. Tuesday that handsome king you've been waiting on hand and foot, is coming to return the favor with a financial windfall, romantic gesture or a positive phone call or email about the job or extra work hours you've been waiting to hear about. Wednesday and Thursday you get an extra burst from Venus as her Taurian position combines with the new Libra Moon. Vesta isn't sure how she feels about Venus lavishing you with so much attention, so she sends you the Reversed King of Wands, which puts wrench in your business plans, relationship or transportation for a short while, but it looks like you quickly get the issue worked out and find yourself in the lap of the Emperor. He brings you more positive energy in the form of fuel for your flames. Use it wisely Sagittarius, and the World will reward you handsomely on Friday, with a blast from your past.
