Monthly Tarotcast for March 15 - April 15, 2010

Every month, I’ll be taking a look at the current mid-month to the following mid-month’s energies. In much the same way as lunar cycles and planetary movements and transitions affect all of us astrologically, the Tarot can prepare us for the energies we’re all likely to be dealing with.

Overview

Four of Cups: the general energy of this period is protective and nurturing, what we commonly think of as the maternal instinct. Caring, affection and the creation of emotional stability will be recurring themes during this month, and we will likely be looking for ways to express ourselves in terms of unconditional love. All of this can contribute to a period of relative ease and feelings of security; however, we will do well to avoid the shadow side of this card’s energy: possessiveness, attempts to bind and restrict others through “love” and “smothering” instead of mothering.

Week 1

The Hermit:
moving into the first week of this period, we find that (temporarily) taking the solitary path will aid us in our search for truth. Solitude and being alone don’t have to mean feeling lonely, and we may find we actively seek and very much enjoy our own company this week. Probing our own inner consciousness and exploring our psyches will not only appeal to us, the insights we gain and the discoveries we make can bring us solutions to long-standing problems or issues, and give us the seeds of new ideas and directions in which to sow them.

Week 2

Princess (Page) of Wands:
During the second week of this period, we can use the positive energies of this card for objectivity and clear insight. Studying, learning and otherwise improving our minds and mental faculties are highlighted this week. At best, the positive qualities of this card allow us to sparkle with wit, intelligence and impressive logic. We’ll also need to expect the unexpected where news and information are concerned.

We may find it’s easy to slip into the role of Devil’s Advocate, or to argue both sides of an issue with equal passion and conviction. If expressed negatively, we have a tendency to be argumentative and even vengeful. Last but certainly not least, our sexual charisma is high this week: we’ve got our mojo working and we’re ready, willing and able to spark – so be responsible and cautious around combustibles (people or situations).


Week 3

The Magus (Magician):
The third week of this period invites us to become the conscious creators of our reality this week. Through our imaginations and our ability to think and visualize, we translate ideas into action. Self-confidence and a sense of personal power are ours to enjoy! The challenges and more difficult energies presented by this card are aggression, misuse of our power, and blind, impulsive desire that takes no one and nothing else into consideration. Avoid any tendency to willfully lie and deceive, or trick others into doing our bidding by manipulation.



Week 4

Knight (King) of Disks:
In the final week of this period we shift from maternal energy to paternal energy. Pragmatism, wise cultivation and use of assets and resources (anything of material value) are highlighted during the final week of this period. Fidelity, loyalty and trustworthiness are highly prized commodities as we move forward methodically, planning our work and working our plan. Avoid ultra-conservative, dogmatic or stubborn modes of thought and communication, and reap the rewards of perseverance and planning.
