Daily Tarot

For Tuesday, August 19th, 2014

The tarot card for today is the Page of Swords. This airy, action filled card is a good match for today's astrological energies, and in particular for the Moon-Uranus sextile.

In the Rider Waite tarot, the Page of Swords depicts a young man standing on a windy hilltop, brandishing his sword in the air as clouds swirl behind him. Swords are the suit which corresponds to the air element, which of course resonates with today's Gemini Moon.

The Page of Swords is a guy who's ready to act now, and he's not confused or cluttered by emotions or worries about what others will think of him. Under the influence of today's Moon-Uranus sextile, we too should be prepared to break the mold and just do it. There is nothing to be gained today from holding back, or over-thinking matters. Action is needed, and it needs to be intellectually sound action rather than impulsive behavior ruled by the heart.
