I was starting to wonder whether I had lost my touch, becoming lazy, or just was not meant to read tarot cards anymore.  So while I was chatting with a friend one evening I asked her, ” do tarot cards wear out? Do they lose their juice for a person?” she replied with a resounding YES!

There are times, especially as you progress in your tarot pursuits, that a deck of cards that revealed the world to you at one time just doesn’t do it anymore. You may have outgrown them, they may not “speak” to you; a number of things could contribute to a “white noise” kind of response from your cards.

So off I go in search for the new tarot deck.

I’m drawn to old images, medieval mostly. So I thought that would be the route that I would try first. Nope. Nothing. Not a blip on the psychic radar. Then THEY caught my eye. THEY who where weird and quirky. So odd, so dark, SO COOL!!!!

THEY are a lovely deck called the Deviant Moon. The images screamed at me! The cards sang the siren song of “Take me home, I am yours!”.

So here I sit with my new friends, the Deviant Moon tarot deck. Learning their secrets, loving their strange images (which, BTW, are so much clearer than the Rider-Waite deck. Damn, that Fool always pissed me off!).  Can’t wait to see how they do on a reading!

Love, Light, and Happiness

 

February looks like a very sweet month. We have 29 days, and only about 5 of them may prove to be somewhat difficult. And, I’m sorry to say, Valentine’s Day could be one of them. Mars will also be in retrograde this entire month, which may leave some us a little tired (especially those with dominate Aries or Virgo in their charts). But all in all, we should find that February is a very productive and inventive month.

February begins with one of those difficult days with Venus at an opposition to Mars. Some of us may be extra sensitive, and others may be asking too much of us. But, luckily by the time Neptune enters Pisces on Friday, February 3rd, all of that will be ancient history. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, February 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, could also be very good days for psychic readings or getting any kind of professional help with Neptune finally entering his home sign. Neptune will remain in Pisces until Spring 2025. Those with dominate Pisces in their charts, this is going to be your decade!

The week of February 6th may begin a little rough with Saturn turning retrograde and the Full Moon in Leo on Tuesday, February 7th. There could be drama with a capital D, and some will be absolutely overwhelmed by the chaos. The smoke should begin to clear by early Wednesday, February 8th, with Venus entering Aries and teaming up with Uranus. There’s a good chance we will be ready to start something new, maybe even a new relationship.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day early, like the weekend of February 10th. Or, even celebrate late on the weekend of February 17th. But, keep your expectations low for February 14th. There could be disputes, disagreements, arguments, and even fights that day.

The week of February 13th will begin on a positive note. On Monday, February 13, people will be practical, and we may find a new seriousness to any project we undertake. But, on Tuesday, February 14th, Venus will be approaching a negative aspect with Pluto. There could be disagreements with loved ones, and some will be pulling out the “nuclear weapons.” There could also be money problems, so watch your expenses carefully. The battle should be over by Thursday, February 16th, and we will be ready to look at the bright side of life again. It will be a great day for travel and new ideas.

The weekend of February 17th should bring a renewed seriousness to everything we do. We could find ourselves very busy, and we should find that we accomplish much. Our imaginations may also be inspired this weekend, and creative projects could just flow out of us.

We will be under the Pisces New Moon on Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday), February 21st. It could be a very magical day, and some of us may actually witness a miracle. Our last difficult day of February, 2012 will be late Wednesday through early Thursday (eastern standard time), February 22nd and 23rd, with a conflict between Mercury and Mars. There will be verbal disputes, and there could be some conflict between the sexes.

The disputes and conflicts should be settled by Friday, February 24th, and the weekend could bring creative ideas into our minds with the Sun winking at Jupiter. We will be ready to start working on some of our dreams. Those dreams will get a second wind on Monday and Tuesday, February 27th and 28th, and there’s a good possibility that we will get others to help us. February ends on Leap Day, February 29th, under the Gemini Moon. Those of us who pay our rent monthly may be out celebrating the free day!

March will have a few ups and downs, but there will be a very positive aspect blessing us all for a few days around mid month. Check back next month to find out more.

Love feeling in love? That crazy, all consuming, can’t stop thinking about that special someone even though you just met?

There is a good, and scientific, reason for that.

Romantic love both exhilarates and motivates us. It is also critical to the continuation of our species. Without the attachment of romantic love, we would live in an entirely different society that more closely resembled some (but not all) of those social circles in the animal world. The chemicals that race around in our brain when we’re in love serve several purposes, and the primary goal is the continuation of our species. Those chemicals are what make us want to form families and have children. Once we have children, those chemicals change to encourage us to stay together to raise those children. So in a sense, love really is a chemical addiction that occurs to keep us reproducing.

So what “makes” us fall in love with a person?

The obvious is that we find that person attractive. Personality, looks, similar interests and goal, all go into finding that special someone. There are also sneaky, hidden little buggers at work. The chemical that causes insane addiction to pain relievers, Oxytocin, is the very same chemical that is released to our brain when we fall in love. Yup! We essentially become drug addicts!

Have a physical relationship, aw heck, having  SEX (there, I said it) releases super doses of the Oxytocin, and other chemicals, into the brain; reinforcing the bond and making the feeling of “love” for the other person stronger. Now this is a good thing if you are with someone who is right for you and the feelings and goals of the relationship is shared. However, if the other person is not on the same page as you, trouble begins. One night stands, casual sex,  friends with benefits, and serial dating keeps the levels of Oxytocin and other chemicals at a high, reinforcing the need to keep finding partners and feeding your addiction.

So let’s say that you Mr/Ms Right are no more. You know that sick, crazy feeling like you’re are going to jump out of your skin, that the world is ending, that you just want to craw under a rock and die?  That, my Little Beasties, is withdrawal. Yup. You are going through drug addiction withdrawals.

What to do to get over the DT’s? Some say jump on the horse right away and find another lover. I don’t necessarily agree. You need to time to heal, to set your mind and body straight and to reassess where you want to go next. Basically, you need to come down from the high of the other person. The only thing that accomplishes that is TIME.  Spend time pampering yourself.  “Me Time” is not selfish, just essential to getting over the addiction. It’s a good thing.

It ‘s right around the corner. That day that is reserved for couples, those looking for love, and those hopeless romantics dizzy with the sweet drug that is love; Valentine’s Day. Now for some, Valentine’s proves to be a day that all the romantic stops are pulled and the profession of undying amore is shouted from the rooftops. Hearts, cherubs, sickly sweet love songs, and dewy, doe-eyed gazes dominate one 24 hour period.

Then there are those who this day symbolizes the rank underbelly of love. Those who view all of the pomp and circumstance of the day as a bunch of commercialized bullpucky. Love has kicked them in the teeth, it has sucked the very essence of their life leaving them a dried husk of a human.  Love stinks. Yeah, Yeah.

I fall into the second category. Well, not entirely. I do have a very health disbelief of needing one day to proclaim a year’s worth of love to your paramour. I believe that you should profess your love  and more importantly SHOW that special someone you love them every day. That being beside that point, let’s talk turkey…

This year, astrologically speaking, is going to hand us a craptastic Valentine’s Day. Woo Hoo! Misery to all of those gushingly happy sots that plan to over spend, over plan, and over expect all the warm fuzziness ( and subsequent nookie) the day is supposed to bring.  With Mars floating through his retrograde (yup, another biggie doing the retrograde boogie) there could be fights, arguments, cheating, and break-ups. Run for the hills, young lovers. I suggest either celebrating early or hold off until the next weekend. Just don’t expect anything really great to happen on VD, unless you like discord and fisticuffs.

Ah, heck! What am I saying? I am hopeless (and hapless) romantic that still thinks that her dreamboat will still make port. I am just going to stay inside on Feb. 14th and wait until the Valentine’s candy goes half price.

Love, Light and Happiness!

Oh, the Circle I do weave
It leads to disaster, I do believe.
I take pills in the morning for pain
And yet there is nothing to be gained.

At night I want to take a hit
I want crack, just a little bit.
Just a little bit leads to more
I must see my dealer, I am out the door

While I have a Roosevelt dime,
I will call my psychic this time.
Thinking in retrospect,
Should I have given Mars more respect?
If Mercury turns up a spade,
Will it be in retrograde?
Oh where is that beautiful Venus?
Will she affect my genius?
