Daily Tarot

For Saturday, April 12th, 2014

The tarot card for today is The Empress, a very earthy card which sits well with the energies of the Virgo Moon and the Moon-Saturn sextile.

In the Rider Waite tarot, the Empress sits among the natural abundance of a cornfield, wearing flowing robes and next to a cushion bearing the symbol of Venus. This is a card which is all about fertility and earthiness, whether that's literal fertility, pregnancy and birth or metaphorical fertility of ideas and insights.

Today, the Virgo Moon connects us all deeply to the earth. The Moon sextiles Saturn, which is a further grounding influence. There's a lot to be said this Saturday for wandering barefoot across the earth and getting back in tune with mother nature.

The essential message of both the tarot card and the astrology today is straightforward: don't rush anything. Take your time - over decision making and over savoring and enjoying the intricacies of daily life. Notice the flowers, the trees and the wildlife that you normally take for granted. Nothing is so urgent that it can't wait a few moments, and the few moments of delay you create can make a real difference to the outcome of so many choices.
