Magician 1:
Plans are sure to go awry this month as the universe delivers a lesson plan in not-arguing-with-reality. Predictability gives way to uncertainty--the job, relationship or home you imagined would be there forever now has overtones of impermanence. Rather than sulk, remember that the changes that happen now are actually course corrections. By the months end you will be on the right track, even if you are heading in an entirely new direction.
High Priestess 2:
Choice becomes a central dilemma this month, as you navigate changes in your career or in a primary relationship. Should I stay or should I go? In answering this question you will likely vacillate between your feelings and your thoughts. But the real answer lies the third option: Knowing. Knowing comes when the emotions settle and the thoughts quieten.
Empress 3:
You Empress souls love the sweetness of victory and this month is chockfull of achievement and success. Your career and finances are blessed by lucky breaks, so take advantage of unexpected opportunities. New romance is possible, especially while traveling--and this month can involve a few short trips that are both personally and professionally rewarding. If a relationship does begin now, it will be fiery, passionate and highly charged in its masculine and feminine polarity. It may not be long lasting, but it will be intense.
Emperor 4:
This month brings passion and power to your normally understated life. You might find yourself uncharacteristically flamboyant, charismatic or insistent as you drive toward your goals with fierce determination. Your wealth picture improves now, often dramatically as unexpected developemnts bring lump sums your way. The only downside of this fruitful time is the chance you will be tested by a loved one or friend who needs your help. Your job in this situation is to help that person help themselves--a rescue attempt will only backfire.
Hierophant 5:
This is a month for endings. You might complete a course of study, finish an important project or even end a long term relationship. Dreams die and new ones are born in the cauldron of this time of closure. If you feel like spending more time alone, good. This is a great opportunity for introspection and self refection. A wise man or woman may appear in your life to play the role of guide.
Lovers 6:
Big change is in the air this month, the kinds of shifts that reorient you in entirely new directions. Last month you likely sensed these shifts on the horizon and perhaps even felt unease about them. Now however you are ready to make decisions about your home, work or lovelife that will have impact over the next year or more. Some of these changes will be your choice, while others will just happen as a part of your destiny. Your best strategy is to have none. Instead, go with the flow and trust all is as it should be.
Chariot 7:
This is karmically charged time where your choices and actions of the last few months result in either a happy or not-so-happy outcome. Windfalls are as likely as shortfalls, but either way you know that whatever happens now is a part of your learning curve in this life. New connections emerge with people who are partners of destiny--the kinds of intersections where you just know you have purpose together and mutual lessons. Contracts signed now will be ultimately life changing, so read the fine print before you committ.
Strength 8:
You will be letting go of addictions, bad habits, old patterns and limiting beliefs this month. It's a bit of a psychological house cleaning, often brought on by unexpected reversals and last minute changes in the plan. Your creativity and imagination peak now, in the midst of what might be a soul search or dark night, so capitalize on this if you are at all artistic. A good way to view the events of this month: Nothing happens to you, it only happens for you.
Hermit 9:
You are ripe for transformation this month. You might transform your look, your home, your job or even your world view. Just know that old ways of looking at the world and being in the world are dying as new ways emerge. If you have been considering leaving a job, this month will force your hand and you will finally just do it. Relationships can crumble and rebuild all in the same breath. In a way, this month teaches you the art of surrender, as you realize that you don't always get what you want, but you get what you need.
