Introduction to Psychic Tarot

Curious about my psychic practice? Here's a handy intro I've just recorded: http://db.tt/yiRBe2.

The Directness of Pluto

Astrologer Pamela Cucinell has some wisdom to share on Pluto Direct. She recommends that we use the energy of this time to release our resistance to change and allow ourselves to shapeshift into new possibilities. As an outer "planet"--well, the astronomers have demoted it from planet-status, but the astrologers pretty much still love it--Pluto is thought of as the sort of thing we don't have a whole lot of control over. But we can take action to use its symbolic influences to our benefit.

When I use the Planetary Layout in readings--that is, when I read an arc of Tarot cards where the positions represent the archetypal meanings and energies of the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto--I read Pluto as the grand, mythic journey of life itself, with its peaks and valleys, its bright, open meadows and its darker stretches. While Pluto Retrograde might mean a journey back in time--a sentimental journey, if you will, or a horrific one, if that's what's in your past--Pluto Direct suggests steadily moving forward.

Pluto went direct yesterday on September 11. Like Cucinell, I feel that we have an opportunity here to make a future for ourselves as individuals and as a society based on true courage and the resolve offer and to support the best that we have within us. In recent months, we have certainly seen numerous examples of the opposite, the crud and toxins rising to the surface--and they will continue to surface into clear light where we can see them for what they are.

It's our choice: Do we want to cling to the old, hobbling beliefs and ways of acting? Or do we want to create a profoundly healthier future for ourselves as individuals, for our society and for our world?

As you contemplate Pluto Direct/Mercury Retrograde, consider how these two processes conspire to dislodge hidden energies that hamper healthy growth, to bring these things up for closer, courageous inspection, to help us to be discriminating and to take appropriate action for our future.

Wishing you every blessing,

Magickal Queenly Day

This Magickal Day is powered by the Queen of Pentacles.

Pregnancy, birth and motherhood--literal or metaphorical--are highlighted and favored today. Conceive of your own inner power, inner command, based on deep intuition and grounded confidence. Give attention to what you have planted; if you've given sufficient care, you will seem some wonderful development. Men, don't forget that this message is for you, too!

A Queen of Pentacles--the one I visualized with my inner eye--beckoned me to her throne to show me the exquisite wood carving of its armrest. She treasures things made with great craft and beauty--and effort. They must be sound, physically durable but also an aesthetic pleasure to which one can return, time and again. Today, you will get a strong sense of what you value.

Some of you will have a different Queen of Pentacles experience today, for I sensed that she can also suggest the role of Queen Mother. So, some of you may feel the experience of being slightly off center stage, dwelling in the background perhaps, still receiving fond respect although you are not in charge, not responsible for how things go, for making things run. In another sense, you might be a symbol of what's valued, what's worth preserving. I can't find a better way of saying this: You are the soul of the matter.

One last impression from this Queen of Pentacles: The actual card I drew comes from Timothy Lantz's The Archeon Tarot deck. I don't use this deck often, but I do rather enjoy the impressionistic murkiness of Lantz's dreamy, elusive images. It's like taking a deep dive into the ocean of Tarot and having to acclimate your eyes. You can tell that Lantz's Queen, in her elegant strapless gown, is beautiful, although her face is mostly turned aside, and her crown is simple in design but rises from her head like licks of gleaming, golden flame. As a queen of the earth element, she is in touch with the humble things of earth but also infused with and radiating the highest energies.

Have a happy and satisfying day!

Eva :-)
