What Tarot Card Are You?

You are The Moon
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

New Moon in Scorpio Artists
11:44 am PST
"Under the Moon in Scorpio, our path takes us to the roots, deep in our psyche, down where the magma lies. Our concentration can become fierce - even obsessive - and so we need to focus it with care. We can ignore our body or be engulfed in sexuality; get mean or be filled with compassion - it's time now to compost the deadwood of life and garden.The soul born with Moon in Scorpio is intense; she needs time alone, but not to isolate herself." (Excerpted from the We'Moon Datebook)
This month's New Moon line-up of incredibly passionate Scorpionic women is a real treat because I must say the intensity of their vision and stories was quite incredible and inspiring - gotta love that Scorpionic deep, probing insightful persistence and willpower!

As of late I have been going through a lot of changes, I didn't know what direction I wanted to go in regards to creating because I have been creating my whole life and always felt as if something was missing, like I wasn't hitting the mark so to speak, but a few months ago I started hand embroidering, which I love. I felt drawn to it and driven to do it and most recently it has turned into something completely unexpected. I feel as if I am being driven to create folk art made from fabric, (I work with vintage fabric such as table cloths). I have just been bombarded with so many ideas and images of what I should create, its fantastic and I love it and I don't want it to ever stop. An idea will just pop into my head and I have to grab paper and pencil and draw my designs and then I free-hand the designs onto the fabric and it just goes from there. I put a folk art witch piece on Etsy a few days ago and it sold. I was flabbergasted and excited all at the same time. I feel this is a whole new creative venture for me.

Born on Nov 21, this Scorpio artist has fallen victim to some of the more extreme qualities of my astrological signs’ traits, both negative and positive. The path that brought me to discover my new found artistic talent is a direct result of the darker side of some of these traits.
Extreme behavior has ruled my life since I can remember, and when channeled properly, it can be used for great good, or great bad and for many years, I achieved a lot of good. I have several college degrees; I had an executive position, my own home and was engaged to be married. Then the pendulum swung in the other direction and my other extreme took over – namely addiction. This extreme is a tough one to beat and tends to rule all. And it ruled my life at the expense of all others, and I lost everything: the job, the fiancĂ©, the car, and almost my life.
There I sat, in my freezing cold basement, still reeling from the loss of my previous life. I needed to stay busy and I couldn’t afford supplies or classes, so I just started doing. And what I started doing was amazing - it turned out I had a talent that I never knew existed. Not only did I discover something to keep my mind and hands busy, but my little Scorpio business mind was kicking into action as well - I might actually be able to do something with this! So I quickly turned it from a soul-saving hobby into a business. I got so busy that my brother had to quit his full time job to work with the business and it just continues to grow by leaps and bounds.

Never having considered myself an artist before, every time I make a stained glass piece, I am still amazed at the fact that I produced such a beautiful thing. It comes from a place in my soul and psyche that are yet to be explored – the surface has just been scratched. What I do know, is that art has significantly helped to heal my broken soul. It has filled some of the large holes I have carried around in my soul my whole life and it has brought me peace.
We now support ourselves solely through our art, which is a beautiful way to live. And I have been sober now for over a year. The journey I took into the darkest extremes of my Scorpio sign was the most terrifying experience of my life, but the existential shift in my soul that has resulted from that trip – namely my artwork – makes it worth it. Almost.

I believe that certain people have an innate understanding, a kind of in-built ability to recognize works of art that are of this nature, and some have the ability to create works that connect us to the wonder and mystery of our world and of the spiritual. It’s not enough to choose magical or mystical themes and then use them in one's art; that in itself will not create ‘magical’ art. Anyone can do that it, it won’t automatically mean that the work created will have this special quality. Just because a painting may contain the image of a unicorn, a faery or Celtic goddess symbols doesn’t mean that it will be magical or have the deeper connection that I’m speaking of. In fact, that would probably have the opposite effect and render the artwork too contrived and false, no more than a pretty picture. What I’m speaking of is a quality that by its very nature is hard to define, that’s why the Scorpio in me is attracted to and resonates with it!
Living in Somerset, I’m also very close to other ancient sites such as Glastonbury, Avebury and Stonehenge, so is it any wonder that the magical interests me?! I have been a practicing meditator since I was a teenager, and since I am now approaching fifty-two that is a very long time ago! I firmly believe that meditation and entering into silence, is an invaluable practice in our modern world with all its stresses and craziness. It’s strange to me that we have almost lost our ability to enjoy silence. I’d even go as far as to say that some people seem afraid of it as though silence is a void that they must fill with the sound of their own voices in endless chatter or music and tv! I also believe that my practice of meditation is where I make much of my creative and spiritual connections, not only in the art I make, of which only a small portion is shown on Etsy, but also in many other areas of my life. Of course I create and enjoy art that is fun and meant to be taken and enjoyed in a more light-hearted manner as well, but as a Scorpio I just can’t help looking for the ‘deeper’ meaning!

I’ve always had a need to create art. As a child I loved to draw and even make jewelry! Now I dabble in pottery and painting, but I really love the physicality of metalsmithing. Being a Scorpio definitely affects my art and creativity. Stubborn? Immovable? Never! I love the challenge of setting a difficult stone.
Being a water sign, I am drawn to the water and have always lived on the coast. My hobbies and travels frequently involve water and serve as the inspiration for much of my jewelry collection. I was recently on a kayak trip in Vancouver Island where I created a "Cascading Necklace" that reminds me of the eddies and currents I’d encountered there. It was an amazing trip that really left its impression in my psyche. Living in Seattle, I like to walk along the beach in the winter. We frequently see otters, moon snails, and whales. I can’t take those home, but a piece of turquoise sea glass did make it into my pocket and was the beginning of one of my favorite ring collections - "The Sea Glass Stackable Rings".

Being a sensitive Scorpio, my pieces frequently have symbolic sentiment. I wanted to create something for my mother and came up with " The Embrace". The base represents stability, the circle her support and the stone is her strength and clarity. I don’t always include the symbolism in my item descriptions because I want people to have the freedom to see what they want in my art, plus perhaps the secretive Scorpio in me doesn’t want to share it all the time! My partner Todd frequently reminds me…”Scorpioooo!”

Power Potion & Meditation to Cure Addiction & Let You Shine!
How to stop addiction? This is a question that many of us are asking ourselves. How do we stop doing what we know is harmful to our very being? It may be something that provides us with both intense pleasure and pain and I do believe that we are quite the masochistic society. So, how do we stop? I meditated upon this today with my many crystals in tow acting as chakra balancers and guides, allowing me to access the All, the Divine wisdom that is available to each one of us when we open our hearts, minds and souls and truly listen.
I was guided towards my Lefty Oracle cards and pulled a card called "Intrepid Dalmia ~ fern-dancer". Dalmia expresses how the passionate, sensual side of us can find release through dance, sacred play and pleasure and through expressing ourselves in an enchanted, physical way.
I also worked with a stone called "Bloodstone".
Bloodstone (green and red) helps force one's focus onto the physical level and the earth plane, promoting courage and achievement and preventing distractions in living and moving forward on one's life path. Placed under your pillow at night, it may help you have visionary dreams of the future. Bloodstone is said to bring wisdom, and in the past was polished and used as a mirror to watch solar eclipses.
A Bloodstone Meditation:
I am a dreamer. My dreams will guide us all. Dreams of blood, hate, sorrow, madness, joy.
Dreams foretelling the future, reliving the past. I am the wise woman who knows nothing. My life, my words, my art - together as one - prophesizing freedom from bondage - guided, blessed, beloved.
We heal ourselves time and time again until time no longer is, and we are ONE, at peace with the ALL.
Plant the Bloodstone deep within your core and let it re-formulate your being, your blood, your cells.
Wear white pearls as you envision pearly-white wings surrounding you, offering you protection.
Pray constantly - in gratitude and to be of service, with integrity and honour shining forth, knowing that you are indeed blessed.

A Past Life Reading
What is a Past Life Reading?
This combination astrology and soul reading will help you gain a better understanding of who you are so that you can maximize your potential and natural abilities to the utmost of your ability. Real growth comes from understanding and transforming behavior patterns so that you can challenge yourself to develop in new and exciting ways based upon a knowledge of your past lives.
Your past life reading will also include an examination of the north and south nodes of the Moon in your birth chart. The Moon rules your feelings, moods, and emotional body. It is the most important planet in your chart from a karmic/past life perspective and will help you understand your karmic mission for this lifetime based upon your past lives.
Your reading will explore:
• two to three major past lives
• the location in the world in which you were born and lived
• information about your gender and appearance
• your important experiences and relationships
• talents or abilities you cultivated
• your ethical and spiritual development
• major lessons you learned
Sample of a Past Life Reading
*Reprinted with client permission
I will begin your past life reading by taking a look at several of your past lives based upon a psychic/soul reading of your past life energy.
- The first vision I get is of you as a little girl on a farm. You are happy, but then the nightmare begins. This nightmare will repeat itself again and again until you understand it. You even have a desire to take your own life.
- I do see you growing up into a tall, slim, long haired, blond woman.
- It is the early 1900’s in Sweden and your name is also ‘Aubrey.’
- I hear you asking (back then), “but what options did I have as a woman?”
- So you became a poet and you write and heal in your own sort of ivory tower.
- The words, ‘clench and unclench’ come to mind.
- I see you having a little girl and she becomes a teacher.
Life Lesson: Your lesson in this lifetime was to heal yourself, and others, and pass on the healing through generations of women after you.
- In the second lifetime I tapped into I see you as a little, scruffy, black haired farm boy, swatting at black and white cattle with a branch/switch.
- You grow up in Italy and become a gentle and suave man.
- You have a good understanding of women, but you also have a bit of a cruel streak.
- In business you are ruthless, you like trading, and you like guns.
- You are not a playboy. You are in love with a beautiful blonde.
- You have children and you are successful.
- The time is the 1930’s.
Life Lesson: Your lesson in this lifetime was one of pleasure. You weren’t too deep, but you were steady and true.
- In the third lifetime I tap into I see you as a very, very old and wise woman.
- The name ‘Matilda Jones’ crops up.
- I see you alone in the woods, very mysterious.
- I also see you in Russia in the Black Forest, as a sort of gypsy.
- You are taking your place in a long line of healers, and healing in mysterious ways.
Life Lesson: Your lesson in this lifetime was to trust in answers that mysteriously appeared.
Part 2 - An Astrological Analysis of the Nodes of the Moon in your Natal (Birth) Chart
Your Karmic Mission based upon past lives – Why are you here?
In astrology, the Moon rules our feelings, our moods, and our emotional bodies. It is the most important planet in our chart from a karmic/past life perspective. An analysis of the North and South Nodes of the Moon will help you better understand your Karmic Mission for this lifetime based upon your past lives.
Your North Node is in Libra in the 3rd House (the Gemini House) - Your present life.
Your South Node is in Aries in the 9th House (the Sagittarian House) - Your past lives.
Libra North Node:
Attributes to Develop:
- Cooperation
- Diplomacy
- Increasing awareness of others’ needs
- Creating win/win situations
- Sharing
Tendencies to Leave Behind:
- Impulsiveness
- Thoughtless self-assertion
- Self-centeredness
- Lack of good judgement regarding money
- Outbursts of anger
With a Libra North Node you need to be aware of selfishness because it is a bottomless pit – no one else can fulfill your needs for you. Satisfaction lies in connecting with people who see you for what you are. When you support others unselfishly that energy will eventually come back to you and help you create the kind of situation you really want. You also need to watch out for an un-ending search for independence.
Accomplishments and independence will not make you feel complete.
You could be a fantastic counselor, diplomat and peacemaker because you have the gift of clearly seeing and communicating mutual understanding between people. You could also excel in fields involving beauty and art. You would make a great entertainer or public speaker as long as your goal is to uplift, energize and bring confidence to your audience. Any profession in which you play a supporting role will be successful for you.
You have past life gifts of independence and leadership and you can use these gifts of self-confidence as a tool for peacemaking and helping establish justice for others. However, if you pursue professions that have your own independence as the aim, you may become dissatisfied and feel you have never reached your goal. When you use your strong self-identity to support others, you gain a sense of inner satisfaction and completion.
You had many past lives as a warrior where your entire focus had to be on keeping yourself alive and this has made you quite competitive and goal oriented. In the process you may have lost touch with love and the ability to work with other people, but this lifetime is all about partnership and there will be plenty of opportunities to get it right! You also might have an exaggerated survival urge and a “me versus you” mentality. It’s all you’ve known. But this is not a warrior lifetime, no one is out to destroy you or take things away from you. You need to realize you have comrades on all sides. Your job in this lifetime is to help others win battles, and in doing so, you win.
Healing Affirmations:
- “When I focus on supporting others, I feel confident.”
- “When the team is successful, I win.”
- “When I share with others, I have more.”
North Node in the 3rd House (the Gemini House):
Attributes to develop:
- Healthy curiosity
- Asking questions to learn how others think
- Seeing both sides of a situation
- Tact
- A positive approach to life and other people
- Purposely cheering others up
Tendencies to leave behind:
- Self-righteousness
- Thinking one knows what others are saying without really listening
- Needing to be right
- Careless spontaneity
- Resisting ideas that are foreign to one’s belief system.
There is a need for you to release any kind of preoccupation you may have with the absolute Truth. What’s important is learning how to relate to people as they are, listening to them and learning from them. What you really want, is to be completely free to pursue Truth, have adventures, be spontaneous and be right 100 percent of the time. You want to speak completely from your Truth and your intuitive process and to have everyone understand you, learn from you and appreciate your help. To attain this goal you must stop focusing on “your Truth” and begin to focus on the people around you. You have the ability (when you listen) to tune in to the specific thought processes of others and supply information that allows others to view problems from an expanded perspective. Selling, writing, teaching and communicating in all forms can bring you happiness as well as prosperity. You will also have gifts in the areas of philosophy and religion and an innate awareness of ethics and morality.
You can use your spiritual and intuitive awareness to understand the thinking of others. However, if you involve yourself professionally in the pursuit of Truth or religion as a final aim, you may ultimately feel isolated. You are better off when you use your natural talents to deeply connect with others on a day-to-day basis.
This lifetime is all about bringing your vision into reality. You must express that vision in a way that the world understands and when it does ‘get it’ you must accept respect for your success. You need to stay on track and leave behind insecurity, taking shortcuts, aloofness and a sense of isolation. Your South Node in Sagittarius (opposite sign of Gemini) means you spent many lifetimes pursuing Truth on your own – as a wandering nomad in the desert, as a hermit, nun, priest, philosopher or monk. Because you sought Truth, spirituality, ethics and enlightenment above all else, you neglected society and human relationships. Due to the isolation and loneliness of your past lives you may have a hard time communicating with others in this lifetime.
The challenge in this lifetime is learning to value communication as a vehicle for curiosity as well as welcoming input from others. Sometimes you may appear combative, and others will resist you. There is a need for you to recognize that it is your presentation they are resisting and not necessarily your point of view. The real challenge in this lifetime is rejoining society so that you can learn how best to connect with others and share your Truth.
Healing Affirmations:
- “This is a people oriented lifetime.”
- “When I am willing to listen, tune in and connect with others I win.”
- “When I tune in to how others think, I know what to say.”
- “If I don’t understand, it’s okay to ask questions.”

Spirit Bear by Guest Writer, Cappy Sue
Some time ago I had a loss of faith. My soul was longing to reconnect with the spirit of the world and I felt estranged from my spirit guides and their guidance. I found myself wishing for clarity and in need of signs. So for the first time in a long time I meditated with my crystals, feeling sure that I would have to pay for my lack of diligence and be forced to work really hard to get back into the zone, but I was lucky, my body relaxed and my mind free-fell into that dizziness that signified ‘the zone’.
I could smell the pines and nature and slowly my eyes became clear as if I had washed a window and watched it dry. Suddenly my feet felt snow and a cool breeze fell upon me while ahead of me was a bear, a large brown bear.
The bear appeared non-threatening, like a friend. It looked at me from over its sizeable shoulders and rump with what appeared to be a smile on its face. Then it turned around and walked toward the edge of a forest while standing up on its hind legs. It raised its paws at the large full moon that had lit its path against the snow and then slowly made it’s way into the woods. It seemed to be saying, "Come see me any time…I'll be watching you” and somehow I was comforted by this.
This image has stuck with me because it was the first time I had seen my spirit guide as a bear. While mulling over this image the artist in me finally came out and I made a charcoal and watercolor drawing of the bear that always brings me peace and I realized that I needed a good name for this drawing, not just “The Bear” so off I went to look up synonyms for the word ‘bear.’ This is when I realized that Ursa was the name for bear.
When my parents were first married they had a child by the name of Ursula and she passed away within a few hours of being born. Now when I meditate I feel a kinship with this sister I never knew as if she's right here with me.
More about Cappy Sue:
Well my real name is Cathy but I like to write under "Cappy Sue". I am thirty-one and married to a lovely man and I am a mama to a house full of furry babies. My dreams keep me up most nights and often become stories or paintings. I truly believe that we all make choices, but that some things are pre-destined, and that if we keep our ears open and listen, there is always a divine voice whispering and offering us help along the way.

Energy & Crystal Healing
Energy medicine is one of five domains of “complementary and alternative medicine” identified by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) in the United States.
The approaches vary widely in philosophy, approach, and origin. Many therapies are predicated, as regards the given explanation for their supposed efficacy, on some form of energy unknown to current science: in this case the given energy is sometimes referred to as putative energy. Conversely "Spiritual energy" may also be equated with empirically understood forces, for example, some equate the aura with electromagnetism. Such energies are termed "veritable" as opposed to "putative".
Types of "Veritable Energy Medicine" include: magnetic therapy and light therapy (collectively electromagnetic therapy) - mainstream medicine involving electromagnetic radiation (radiation therapy) is not accounted "electromagnetic therapy" in the terms of complementary medicine. Cymatic therapy uses sound waves.
Types of "Energy Medicine Involving Putative Energy Fields" include acupuncture, qi gong and related concepts involving the notion of Qi (such as Reiki), homeopathy, Therapeutic Touch, distant healing (under which they count intercessory prayer) and related concepts.
Energy medicine often proposes that imbalances in the body's "energy field" result in illness, and that by re-balancing the body's energy field health can be restored.

"Energy medicine supports you in discovering what your body already knows.
It reminds you of all that you have forgotten, and models for you how you hold your life force still, or allow it to flow. It provides the answers to how you think, feel, and do your life, consciously or otherwise." - Dorothy A. Martin-Neville
