Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Ethereal Visions Tarot: Luna Edition, by Matt Hughes, published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Major Arcana XVII (17), The Star

The week ahead is likely to present fresh ideas that could easily open up opportunities for expansion and new growth. The ability to imagine a desired reality is the first step towards creating it. Also likely, a renewal of the spirit that has the potential to offer hope and tranquility that is balanced with clarity, can help to provide a realistic vision of the future and a way forward. A bountiful flow of magical energy this week could easily help fuel the wildest dreams and wishes—just be mindful of what is being wished for!

Conversely, just getting through this week spiritually could feel like the ultimate test of resolve. If there are feelings of confusion and despair, it may be time to perform some cleansing of the body, mind, and spirit. The new moon in Aries could provide the perfect opportunity for a reset and clearing of both energy and sight for the future.
