Astrology & Tarot Today
Surrender to the power struggle. Ride the wave.
Astrology Today
Today should be a great day to have important conversations under Gemini’s chatty, affectionate energy under the Waxing Gibbous moon for a few days. Just don’t get too stubborn or stuck in your ways. Try to release your grip and see the issue from the other person’s perspective. We all have something to defend. Remember the playfulness and curiosity of the Fool rather than bulldozing your way over others to get where you’re going, as the Emperor has a tendency to do sometimes.
The Moon square Jupiter (1:24am PST) may give you a tug-of-war feeling with your emotions today. Ride the wave and let it pass until this afternoon when Moon trines with Mercury (4:10pm PST). Clarity comes from going within and listening to the conversation between your heart and mind. Once you’ve heard what was needed to be consumed and integrated, use this planetary alignment to send the email, make the phone call, or have the face-to-face conversation to get clear about your needs, and also, to hear the other person’s perspective.
Gemini’s curious and affectionate nature will allow you to express your nurturing side in this conversation, but with a commanding energy that is often needed to talk about the things we may be too ashamed or embarrassed to address. Mercury’s trickster side can help you turn the situation at hand into a playful affair of possibilities at the crossroads of your venture. Lest we not forget that Pan, the horned half-man, half-goat that resides within the month of January and earthy zodiac sign of Capricorn, who loves to show you an alternate path. Let your silly side come out tonight and dance with The Devil.
And finally, Moon trine Saturn (10:26pm PST), when most of us in the northern hemisphere are sleeping, will be an excellent time to write down your thoughts about your responsibilities and to reflect upon the path that you’re on. Is this where you want to go? Set an intention to get a message in your dreams tonight with regard to the karmic cycle that you’re living within. What is the lesson that you must learn now before you can enter the next one?
Tarot Card of the Day
The Emperor
It’s okay to build an empire and enjoy the riches of your hard work. Just be careful not to hoard, or to get too focused on the material gains that you’re working toward. Relax and enjoy what you’ve created, but release your reigns a bit and see what unfolds when you let your creation drive for awhile. The beauty of collaboration is a fruitful garden that sustains the whole.
