High Priestess (7 of Swords)
Mysteries are the little adventures of our lives and you, this month, are the detective searching for clues. A current situation that seems vague and uncomfortable will begin to reveal signs pointing in a definitive direction. In terms of a business pursuit, wait until you feel it’s the right time before executing your next step. Trust your intuition. Be conservative with finances too, because all is not as it appears. The 16th will likely reveal something that has been in the background for some time. Keep from jumping to conclusions until you’re certain what it means. One wrong word can bring down a relationship.

Magician (3 of Pentacles)
You are in a very creative spot this month, especially in terms of generating clever ideas or plans for others. You emanate a certain charisma that is recognized by others as a gift for recruiting or delegating. Because you are receptive to the talents of others and mindful of how to assist with practical uses, you are able to animate the latent skills of others. Be aware how this process will also stimulate your own potential for further growth. Let your curiosity lead you to avenues of inspiration. For those in school, take the initiative to start discussion groups or lead presentations.

Chariot (6 of Swords)
Solutions to your problems will come in the most unconventional ways. However, you must be willing to face the apparent discord because within this dilemma is the new path to your next step. Rise above your ego’s need to control the situation, otherwise you will find yourself embroiled in unnecessary conflict. Be prepared for someone to challenge your ideas about something important at home, in the office, or among friends. Although conflict arises, separating your emotions from your better judgment gives the advantage of calm repose. To conquer the competing impulses within, self-discipline is necessary. Don’t react - simply respond.

Sun (Queen of Cups)
“Once upon a time…” is a great line to start each day with. There is something quite magical about this month, but only those with open eyes and active imaginations will experience it. You’re coming out of a hectic period and could use some rejuvenating. Find ways to surround yourself with joy and inspiration — adopt the wonder of a child and spend time doing fulfilling activities. You’ll notice that people unlike you are magnetically attracted to your charisma. The beginning of the month is full of opportunities for romance, so go ahead – strut your stuff and express yourself!

Fool (4 of Pentacles)
Caught between a rock and hard place this month, you’ll have a tough time deciding on whether to go for it or stay planted. What’s even more confusing is that what you’ve worked hard to get, is now causing feelings of repression. Keep in mind that security can’t be measured by material possessions. It could be worthwhile to risk a little, add some excitement to your routine and do something for the sake of adventure. The conservative side of you might cringe next month, but, hey, live in the moment. The Full Moon on the 27th is a great time to indulge!

Temperance (Page of Wands)
Life is a mixture of many elements; when your discover how to combine them creatively, you produce beautiful expressions of yourself. Too often though, amazing experiences are passed off as problems. Don’t get trapped in labeling things. Life as an ever- changing flow requires openness. Invoke your curiosity this month as you observe the ups and downs of your emotions. Don’t become swayed by fleeting feelings of anxiety. Think of these feelings as messengers and pay attention to how you respond. Now is a time to balance opposing forces within, find a middle ground, and let them flow.

Moon (8 of Cups)
The past always has an odd way of showing up in the present, particularly when feelings are intense. This month, an emotional situation may trigger some of your forgotten tendencies – that is to say, behaviors you thought you had left behind. You cannot avoid facing the reality of this situation no matter how hard you deny it. Something or someone will likely bring out the worst in you. Though you may feel confused and overly pressured, your decisions will give you the movement needed to face your problems. Illusions may serve in the moment, but will only lead to harder times.

Lovers (3 of Swords)
Relationships are best experienced between two individuals; however, to your dismay, that will not be the case this month. You will find that a connection you are trying to make is interrupted by an outside influence. If this is a person, it is likely they will interfere with your channel of communication. Do your best to ensure that what you say is being understood. In terms of an important decision, get ready for an unexpected detour. What you think you want will be challenged by an annoying factor around the middle of the month. Be flexible!

Judgment (5 of Wands)
Free yourself from the friction caused by imaginary strife. How, you ask. Nothing is bad, but thinking leads you to believe it is. Look deeply at what is troubling you most and you’ll discover that you have room for more movement than you think. Sometimes the questions asked are more important than the answers looked for. The energy you’re wasting on this disruption is precisely what’s needed to solve your dilemma. Let go of your need to be right. Even though you’re feeling frustrated, recognize how focusing on what you don’t have instead of focusing on what you want, is perpetuating the problem.

Justice (7 of Pentacles)
Oh prudent one, your ever-so-cautious are causing your insecurity. Consider how being overly prepared is an invitation for disaster. It conditions your mind to expect the worst or you miss opportunities by sticking too close to the to-do-list. Take a good look at what you’ve achieved and ask yourself whether it was worth your time and energy, and even more importantly, how it serves your life purpose. This is a critical time for self-analysis — not to point out flaws, but to find ways in which you can express more of yourself in the world. A reality check around the 18th reminds you what’s missing.

Hermit (Queen of Wands)
Moments alone will bring you back in touch with the nature of who you are and what you really want, though you may need to step down from your throne to find that humble place. Your recent goals may be put on hold as you find yourself burnt out from too much effort. Pause for a second and feel proud of your past accomplishments; it is more important to honor yourself than aspire for worldly recognition. Be patient with others and keep your opinions to a minimum or you may end up in hot water with someone.

Emperor (Ace of Swords)
Power is in the eyes of the beholder; a clear mind is like a sword cutting through the illusions of space and time. You are human and therefore intended to make mistakes; however, you are the master of your own sovereignty and capable of transcending any barrier. You may be faced with what seems like a Herculean task. Just keep in mind that this is your empire and there is no such thing as defeat. After you shave away the fear, you will uncover a unique strategy that will win the battle. Think outside the box!
