Eternal Athena Tarot

Daily #Tarot for Thursday, August 17, 2017 #Moon enters #Cancer ACE OF CUPS The Moon in Cancer and the Ace of ups bring a lot of overbearing emotions that threaten to overwhelm us with their power. Being ruled by the Moon, Cancer may leave us feeling as if we are riding an emotional roller coaster. In this image the overflowing water comes to life in the form of undines, the mythical creatures of waterfalls and streams. Emotions can easily take on a life of their own and control us if we aren't aware of them. The Ace of Cups underscores the importance of holding space feel our emotions, whether they be good or bad. You cannot heal what you cannot feel. Book of Shadows Tarot, vol. 2 ✨ 🌟 ✨ To book a reading with me go to http://eternalathena.com/book-a-reading/

Daily #Tarot for Wednesday, August 16, 2017 #Moon in #Gemini; #Venus in #Cancer square #Jupiter in #Libra TWO OF WANDS & ACE OF SWORDS The TWO OF WANDS marks the beginning of a process. A young man grasps a wand in his right hand, and holds the Earth in his left – symbols of his power. Standing high above the town, we also see him as an authority figure. He makes informed decisions from a place of high-minded thinking. Now is not a time to doubt yourself. you can move forward with confidence knowing that you have the skills and expertise to get the job done. The ACE OF SWORDS reminds us how powerful the mind can be in shaping how we feel about ourselves. Sometimes it sends us messages that do not reflect reality, so we need to learn how to read the information we are getting with a discriminating mind. When you find that you are losing confidence in yourself, ask if that's a true reflection of what you have accomplished, or is that your mind fixating only on the things that went wrong? The angel holds the sword tilted at a 45 degree angle, suggesting its desire to remain bias-free and emotionally detached. Don't wed yourself to any particular viewpoint. Consider all of the evidence with equal regard. Golden Tarot ✨ 🌟 ✨ To book a private reading with me go to http://eternalathena.com/book-a-reading/

Daily #Tarot for Tuesday, August 15, 2017 #Moon enters #Gemini; #Venus in Cancer opposite #Pluto in #Capricorn TEN OF PENTACLES Look closely at pentacles in this card, and you'll notice that they aren't arranged in any random order, but in the shape of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. This Tree of Life is also situated in front of a gateway, suggesting that the Ten of Pentacles marks the entry point from one place to another. Even though the Suit of Pentacles represents physicality, as well as the dense element of Earth, the Ten of Pentacles shows us that our material and spiritual lives are closely intertwined with one another, and that one affects the other in ways that we may not consciously realize. No matter how little you have, the Ten of Pentacles advises you to be grateful for what you've got, especially if you tend to take certain things for granted. Maybe you don't feel rich because your bank account is dwindling near zero. But if you focus on the roof over your head, the food in your fridge, and the clothes you've got to wear, you might realize that you are richer than you realize. The Universe doesn't always deliver what you want, but it always gives you what you need. In that sense, we are all wealthy. The Ten of Pentacles also reminds us that the physical and ethereal realms work hand-in-hand with one another. If you are constantly giving thanks for what you've got, even if those things are basic necessities, then you are training yourself to cultivate an abundance mindset and aligning your energy to receive more. And those who approach life with an abundance mindset are able to easily generate more abundance without having to try too hard. That's what we call magic.

Daily #Tarot for Monday, August 14, 2017 #Moon in #Taurus EIGHT OF SCROLLS The soothsayer is trained in the art of reading signs that other people miss. Appearing here in the Eight of Scrolls, she helps us understand the higher-order lessons behind everyday, mundane events. During times of accelerated growth the Universe sends us multiple messages that we are on the right track. If you need a sign, then ask for one and look around you. Today the Universe send you confirmation of what you already know to be true. It may come though non-traditional means. Watch out for numbers, signs, symbols, phrases, or images that appear before you repeatedly throughout the day. Those are signs that your guides are nearby, watching over and protecting you.

Weekend #Tarot for August 11-13, 2017 #Moon enters #Aries, #Venus in #Cancer trine #Neptune in #Pisces (Fri); #Mercury stations retrograde in #Virgo (Sat.); Moon enters Taurus, #Sun in #Leo trine #Saturn in #Saggitarius (Sun) FIVE OF CUPS, ACE OF CUPS & THE HERMIT This weekend's cards describe feelings of heartbreak around the loss of something or someone whom you are emotionally invested in. The FIVE OF CUPS presents a picture of emotional strife. Sometimes the words to express how we feel elude us, but we find other ways to process the grief, such as this horse whose head hangs in sadness. Although there is some light above, all that he sees is the darkness below. Adjacent to the Ace of Cups, this card speaks to emotional intensity. Instead of distracting ourselves with outside concerns, sometimes it's best to do nothing and feel the pain all the way through. The ACE OF CUPS calls on us to pay special attention to your emotions, which may not always be so easily felt. Sometimes this is because when we lose something, we do everything in our power to distract ourselves from the pain incurred by that loss. Take, for example, the practice of “rebounding” with a new partner after a significant relationship has ended. Rebound relationships rarely last because its an attempt to delude yourself into thinking that what has been lost can easily be replaced. But in reality, its impossible to replicate any one person or relationship. You cannot find in someone else the same exact qualities that you enjoyed in another. THE HERMIT is about taking some time alone to understand yourself better. Corresponding to Virgo, we need that time to analyze our feelings. And adjacent to the Ace of Cups, The Hermit is also about taking a moment for self-reflection, particularly the role that you played in creating the present situation. It's a brave thing to learn how to be on your own. But finding that strength within yourself leads you to a place of greater emotional stability.

Daily #Tarot for Thursday, August 10, 2017 #Moon enters #Aries; #Mercury in #Virgo sextile #Venus in #Cancer; #Sun in #Leo sextile #Jupiter in #Libra ACE OF WANDS The Ace of Wands brings an injection of energy to carry us through the day. We are well-positioned to care of business and get things done, especially new projects that we've been meaning to get off the ground for some time now. When Aces appear, its time to plant your seeds for whatever you want to manifest in the future. The green mountains in the background represent the dynamic fire energy that exists underneath the Earth's core in the form of shifting tectonic plates. It may feel as if the earth beneath our feet is solid and stable, but thousands of feet beneath it's surface lies an ocean of swirling magma and molten rock that occassionally give rise to a volcanos, mountains, and earthquakes. A situation that was once stable over a long period of time may suddenly shift, prompting you to take quick and sudden action. Prepare yourself for the unexpected. Fire generally burns whatever comes across its path, but destruction needs to happen before we can create something new. What actions can you take to usher in that change? How can you position yourself to benefit from what's coming? Tarot Illuminati ✨ 🌟 ✨ To book a private reading with me go to http://eternalathena.com/book-a-reading/

Daily #Tarot for Tuesday, August 8, 2017 #Moon enters #Pisces THREE OF CUPS No man is an island. We all need support from one another to get by in the world, especially emotional support. The Three of Cups speaks to the times when we rely on our inner circle of friends to understand where we are coming from and validate what we feel. In this particular version of the Three of Cups each woman wears a different colored dress, signifying that each brings unique skills and perspectives to the table. Maybe the woman in blue is an expert at detecting how people feel, while the woman in red spurs her friends to take action when it's needed and the woman in green grounds everyone in what is real and practical. When working in isolation their strengths don't take them that far. But when you combine their talents, they become an unstoppable force. Today we are being reminded to appreciate our friends for who they are, as we rely on them to fill in gaps that we ourselves lack. No one person is exactly like you, nor will they always see eye-to-eye with you. That is a good thing, as it takes all kinds to make the world turn.

Daily #Tarot for Monday, August 7, 2017 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius 11:11am PST FOUR OF PENTACLES Today's card highlights our material and financial foundations. Maybe we need to take a look at our material situation and ask ourselves if you are living at the level of security that we desire. If not, what needs to change in order for you to get there? Some people accuse the man in the Four of Pentacles as being somewhat of a miser. His closed-off body language and his tight grasp on the coins suggest that he has his mind on his money and his money on his mind. It's what consumes the most of his thoughts, and he's very concerned with hanging onto it. Maybe he's not accustomed to spreading his money around, but look where that attitude has gotten him. Behind him we see strong, sturdily built fortresses that scale the hillside. Despite the odds, he's done well for himself and has gone well beyond meeting his basic security needs. Remember that a dollar not spent is a dollar that you won't have to earn down the road. The Four of Pentacles approaches money from a conservative angle. There's a time for giving to charity, but its not when you are financially unstable. Spend wisely and save where you can. It's not about being cheap, but about making sure you are getting a good value for your money. Lastly, the Four of Pentacles reminds us that we are allowed to feel proud of what we have built up and amassed for ourselves. There's something to be admired about someone who knows how to take care of him or herself and live large to boot. Since today's lunar eclipse is happening in the individualistic sign of Aquarius, signalling an abrupt shift in the way we handle money and invest our resources. We may want to take the time to consider whether our money is truly safe being handled by certain institutions. How can you utilize your resources in a way that safeguards you?

Daily #Tarot for Thursday, August 3, 2017 ACE OF WANDS & THE MOON Today's cards present us with an interesting mix of yin and yang energies, as if we are being pulled in two different directions. Where the ACE OF WANDS talks about taking action and being outwards orientated, THE MOON is about dormancy, inner reflection, and exploring the contours of the imagination. When combined, these cards advise us that we need to be proactive in creating the emotional and mental space needed to look within and understand the hidden aspects of who we really are. This might take us to a frightful place, as delving into the subconscious mind can potentially lead us to dredge up old wounds and fears. Sometimes we avoid going there by keeping busy in our outer lives, rationalizing that if everything looks fine on the outside that's all that matters. But if we avoid going within indefinitely, unhealed wounds that exist on the inside will eventually spill over into our outer lives. The Moon always comes full circle. Today is about taking an initial step to carve out some “me” time from your busy schedule and consciously making space for inner healing to begin. Aces always bring fresh starts, so this may require a big shake-up in your priorities.

Daily #Tarot for Wednesday, August 2, 2017 #Uranus stations retrograde at 28 degrees #Aries TWO OF SWORDS & SEVEN OF RODS Not every battle is worth fighting. Even if you end up “winning,” there were things that have to be given up so you can devote your energy to the conflict. In the TWO OF SWORDS, a man fixates his attention on a skirmish between two men. Behind him, two swords stand upright in the sand, not too far away from some pretty tumultuous waves. Despite the rise and fall of the tide, the swords remain where they are, just as clear and logical thinking can steady us through up and down emotions. You know you've lost the battle when you lose your cool. Giving in to your immediate reactions doesn't always lead you in the right direction, especially if those responses control you rather than the other way around. Next time you feel anger on the rise, take a moment to breathe and practice non-reaction. Only from a place of calm can a reasoned decision be made. In this place, we can see that not every offense to your ego requires a response, especially if your time and resources would be better spent getting something productive done. Ask yourself, “What do I lose by engaging this battle?” If the answer is more than what you stand to win, then walk away. Anna K.

Weekend #Tarot for July 28-30, 2017 Moon enters Scorpio (7/29); Venus in Gemini sextile Uranus in Aries (7/30) THE LOVERS & SEVEN OF WANDS THE LOVERS speaks to a balance between yin and yang energy, but the SEVEN OF WANDS shows someone who is at war with his masculine side. This weekend is about acceptance of our masculine energies through learning how to assert and defend our boundaries, particularly with people with whom we feel especially close. Fire infuses us with a desire to be our own person, but that desire doesn't always flow harmoniously with state of coupledom, which wants us to merge with the other person to become one. When we see so much of ourselves in the eyes of another, it can be difficult to distinguish your partner's identity from your own. It may sound romantic to be 100% in tune with your lover all the time, but at what point does that principle compromise a healthy sense of self? The SEVEN OF WANDS calls on us to know who we are and stand up for what we believe in. If your partner is doing and saying things that contradict who you are, what does it say about you, especially if your lover reflects who you are? This weekend asks us to consider how much of ourselves we are willing to sacrifice for love. Take Dierde Ball for example, who filed for divorce from Anthony Scarmucci yesterday citing his “naked ambition” and desire to get close to a man she despises as the reason. With Venus sextile Uranus, some of us are making some abrupt decisions about where we are heading in our current relationships, especially if it becomes clear that your partner's values are incongruent with your own. At the end of the day, you are responsible for yourself. Morgan Greer Tarot ✨ 🌟 ✨ To book a private reading with me go to http://eternalathena.com/book-a-reading/

Daily #Tarot for Thursday, July 27, 2017 THE LOVERS & THREE OF CUPS A couple embrace in a field of Calla Lilies. Despite differences in gender and skin color, they see eye-to-eye in love. As a “6” card, THE LOVERS represents the balancing point in a process of self-development – to achieve inner wholeness one must recognize the Other within himself or herself. The man and woman in this card recall the twins of Gemini, each of whom could not exist without the other. The question of who you are, and what you stand for, becomes a lot more clear when confronted with someone who represents all of the things you are not. Likewise, you attract people who exhibit qualities that remain dormant, yet alive, within the depths of your subconscious. No one is in your life by accident. They are there because a part of you exists within them, and a part of them exists within you. Adjacent to the THREE OF CUPS, today's reading highlights communication and our perceptions of others. As Mercury in Cancer, the Three of Cups highlights the connecting thread of understanding that exists among friends. Like attracts like, and finding someone who will challenge our entrenched ways of thinking often requires us to go out of our way. If you're accustomed to hanging out with the same group of people day in and day out, make a point to find someone different whom you normally would not encounter. Exposing yourself to a variety of viewpoints explands the mind and the range of what's possible.

Daily #Tarot for Wednesday, July 26, 2017 #Sun conjunct #Mars in #Leo THE WORLD A cycle or phases reaches its end in a celebration of high-flying success. Corresponding to Saturn, the Lord of Karma, THE WORLD reminds us that we incarnate into the earthly plane for the purpose of overcoming the limitations inherent to the human experience, as a life without challenge becomes devoid of meaning. One of the biggest limitations is time, as Saturn is also seen as “Father Time” who can cut things and people out of our lives whether or not we are ready for it. We may have big dreams, but suppressing the desire for immediate gratification to make those dreams a reality is easier said than done. Achieving any goal requires a practical vision of what is realistic, especially when magical thinking and the mentality that everything will work out for the best no matter what you do is working in overdrive. Saturn grounds us, bringing us back down to earth and allowing us to make mistakes so that we can learn from them and change. Only through conflict, struggle, and commitment, do we get true satisfaction out of life. As humans we are constantly reminded that energy is a finite resource. We only have so much to expend before its time to rest. The Sun conjunct Mars in Leo suggests that we best off channeling our energy towards causes that make us competitive and allow us to shine. What is a priority right now? What needs to be placed on the back burner in the name of upholding your obligations?

Daily #Tarot for Tuesday July 25, 2017 #Mercury enters #Virgo WHEEL OF FORTUNE & FIVE OF STAFFS In the WHEEL OF FORTUNE we see the Phoenix, the mythical bird that continously dies in a burst of flames and is reborn from the ashes. The Phoenix serves as a metaphor for the soul of man which never dies, but rather is born and reborn throughout a series of lifetimes, assuming a more evolved form in each iteration. As the highest form of Scorpio, the Phoenix represents the soul that has risen above the petty squabbles and violence of earthly human life to arrive at a place of peace and acceptance. The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that our time here on Earth is rife with opportunities to elevate ourselves, using our Scorpionic powers to access the hidden reaches of the psyche. The most profound changes originate from within. With five being the number of humanity, the FIVE OF STAFFS reminds us of qualities that distinguish us from other animals: opposable thumbs, the ability to create, and the capacity for self-reflection. The sticks burning in the Phoenix's funeral pyre resemble the wooden fingers in the Five of Staffs, suggesting that creativity flows from an ability to reflect on change and where it has taken us. How can you can build on that in a positive way? How can you use these experiences to fuel your creative endeavors?
