Today we honor the new moon in Libra, the sign that rules partnerships, social justice, and balance. Libra is ruled by Venus, planet of love, beauty, what we value, and our money. This Venusian moon comes in darkness on Venus' day - Friday.  The card that represents Libra in Tarot is Justice. Justice is about karma, divine law, and balancing the scales. Justice, like Libra, sees all sides of every situation, and rather than choosing sides, it seeks to balance and become whole, honoring the light and dark, the emotional and the rational, the head and the heart.  May I...

  During the month of June, we seem to be caught between the duality of moving rapidly forward and overanalyzing the past, we have so many planets in Gemini and Cancer to thank for that.

As we approach the Taurus new moon on Saturday, perhaps pull out the Hierophant card...

Each week, Ross and I will be discussing a card from the major arcana and it's accompanying minor. This is the format taught to me during a formal six month tarot intensive, Brooklyn Fool's, taught by Jeff Hinshaw and Lindsey Mack, in 2017.  In our first episode we cover, finding a tarot deck you resonate with, what is the Fool's journey, and what the Fool represents in tarot.

  Wednesday is the Spring Equinox, Ostara, moving from the end of the zodiacal calendar (Pisces) into Aries - the initiator. This is fire season. This is the beginning of new energy, moving forward.  I want to bring attention to the full moon story that is going to be taking place. Full moons are significant for several reasons. Each brings closure, endings, and illuminates the darkness to assist us in making these shifts in order to move forward. The full supermoon on Wednesday occurs at 0 degrees Libra. This is the beginning of our story. Libra is the sign of...
