Hello All-o!
Welcome to this week. Again, I offer the same treats as last week: a card for all from the Amy von Harrington deck and also a song for each of you in the following mix (your song is specified in parenthesis, next to your card).
The card for everyone for this week is:
3 of Wands!
I read the 3 of Wands a little differently in Amy's deck than I do in my Motherpeace deck. This week the focus is on exploring uncharted territory. Push yourself to adventure. This could take the form of a literal trip via plane, train, car, or it could be an emotional trip to previously unexplored areas of your internal landscape. Perhaps you will embark on both. But whatever or where ever you are investigating try to observe what you find without trying to change it, at least not until you've gotten to know it better.
I also offer individual intuitive tarot readings. Please contact me for details: mwtarotscopes@gmail.com.
Thank you for tuning in!
Enjoy!
Love,
MW
ARIES
Aries, is some thought or obstacle currently plaguing you? Do you go to sleep at night and in the morning still feel like you never closed your eyes because you continue to obsess over whatever problem has presented itself in your waking life? Sometimes, when I feel this way, I wish someone would let a tiger loose on me so that I would have a more pressing and important situation to work out. You can actually apply this scenario to any difficulty in your life. Imagine the problem you are currently having is a wild animal that has escaped from the zoo. How would you respond to it if it were chasing you through the streets? Trust the instincts locked in your body to respond to this difficulty. Let those intuitive impulses loose on the tiger in your life. You may be surprised to find you already have everything you need to defeat the beast.

TAURUS
When I was in 4th grade my brother tried to convince me to present a project on recycling using interpretive dance. I was terrified of public speaking so my brother suggested that expressing the process through movement might come more naturally. He helped me choreograph the entire thing, but in the end I used an illustrated diagram inspired by the dance. Taurus, you are not known for holding back where there is something to share. But this week it seems, in your efforts to be more tactful and sensitive the feelings of others, you are suppressing something that demands to be spoken. Take a moment to get clear about the emotions or ideas on which you may be sitting. It could be that what is waylaying you is not your ability to say it like you see it, but the frustration of not being able to see anything at all. Consider first unlocking the problem with a new mode of expression that may come more naturally to you.
(3 of Wands Rev./ The Wind, Cat Stevens)
GEMINI
Imagine you are on a row boat lost at sea and all you have to eat is a pack of gum. A tricked out speed boat with with a state of the art GPS comes out of no where to help you, but due to a dime-sized leak the thing is sinking. Now you suddenly have the ability to save your savior as your savior saves you, see? This week, try brainstorming all the dried up, desert areas in your life, Gemini. Then take that list and find the ways in which these barren places might actually be a friend's oasis, a friend who might just be the camel you need.

CANCER
When I was in 7th grade I went out for track and field. I wasn't fast enough to be a sprinter and the idea of running around the track more then once seemed like a death wish. So the coach had me run the 800 meter, which was the race that all the people who were too afraid to run long distance and who weren't born sprinters ran. I almost always came in last and as I closed in on the finish line each race someone in the bleachers inevitably said, "finish it up!" I don't even think it was the same person every time, but as soon as I heard those words, it was like my own personal starting pistol went off. In those last moments, I found a reserve burst of energy and I could double or even triple my speed. Is there a race you don't feel you have the energy to run, Cancer? You might, in fact, have a reserve somewhere, you just need to hear a few key words in order to tap in to it.

LEO
This week, Leo, I see you tackling obstacles in a lab coat. You are like a sort of mad scientist, mixing chemicals and looking at amoebas under microscopes. You also have a hypothesis you are determined to prove. There is nothing wrong with this approach, but don't let your goggles keep your vision pointed toward a desire to be right and prevent you from seeing other possible outcomes. Real scientists are delighted by failed experiments as well as successful ones because they've still achieved their goal of gathering new information on a particular problem, it's a win win.

VIRGO
You know that feeling of awkwardness you have when you've spent the whole day by yourself and then you go to a party and try to communicate with other people? You can end up feeling like a total alien. When I was really little I used feel this way all the time and my parents would tell me to, "just ask lots of questions." Sometimes I actually imagined myself as Mork, from Mork and Mindy, asking people questions as if I didn't know how things were done on their planet. I don't think anyone could tell that that was the story I was telling myself, I think they just thought I was a really polite little kid. If you find yourself crawling out of cave into an intensely social situation this week, Virgo, try pretending you really are an alien and navigate the terrain from there. I'm almost positive you will make new friends.

LIBRA
This week, Libra, you seemed to have followed an idea up onto the high dive. You could camp out up there for a little while, but eventually you will probably be forced to make a decision. You can either jump or try climb back down the ladder. This diving board is hanging over a public pool and it is summer time and everyone has lined up behind you so back-tracking would, in all honesty, probably be the more humiliating option. It doesn't always feel good in the moment, but you know from similar past situations that more often than not there is an incredible amount of relief when you finally take the leap and let go of whatever it is you've been holding onto.
(10 of Swords/ Life on Mars- David Bowie)
SCORPIO
Have you ever used a ouiji board or held a seance? Do I even have to ask? Of course you've attempted communication with the dead! You are a Scorpio after all! You may have noticed this sort of lag time between when you ask a question and when you receive an answer. This week I see you in the in between, Scorpio. You've sent out your questions into the ethers and now you are patiently awaiting some answers. Get comfortable and keep your senses open and ready for communication.

SAGITTARIUS
You are walking out onto the ice this week, Sag. Not that you have to be careful, but just that no one can go with you where you are going. This piece of the trip has to be navigated alone, but you are completely capable of handling it. Whether or not you are actually old, in this scenario you possess the knowledge of a much older person. Actually, you are more like a very old, wise penguin. Trust your intuitive understanding of the cold, and also recognize you might be the only one who knows how to do what you are doing. While there may not be any other penguins on this ice float, there is still familiarity. You are at home.
(Priestess of Swords/ You Gotta Walk That Lonesome Valley- Mississippi John Hurt)
CAPRICORN
Say you are baking a cake, Capricorn. Before you even begin mixing the ingredients you probably have some idea of the cake you are trying to make. You probably began with the image before you even had all the ingredients. Just an image of a cake can make you salivate. You can probably imagine what the thick icing and the bittersweet chocolate will taste like. This week you might find yourself mixing the cake, sticking it in the oven and for some reason, not turning on the heat. Don't sabotage your efforts at the last moment, realize that you have practically already tasted the sweetness of your dreams. You just have to turn up the flame and believe that what you want is just 30 minutes and a few hundred degrees from coming out of the oven exactly the way you imagined it.

AQUARIUS
When we were kids my brother, a neat freak, used to talk me into helping him clean the house while my parents were out by saying, "hey, I bet if we clean the whole house, mom and dad will give us money when they get home." Of course this almost never happened, but I still helped him every time with the hope that some day they might give us some sort of tangible compensation. This week, Aquarius, it is more like you cleaned without any thought to a reward and now, not only do you have a spotless house, you are being thrown a huge party (at someone else's house so you don't have to clean up). It's kind of like a wedding, but you aren't actually getting married to anyone, or maybe you are, in any case the only thing left to do is celebrate.

PISCES
You know how when you look through a screen door your vision can kind of vacillate between bringing the screen and bringing whatever is beyond the screen into focus? Drifting back and forth this way, allowing yourself to see the details of what is in front of you and seeing everything on the other side is exactly what is going to help you on your journey, Pisces. For now keep working at not letting yourself latch on to any one thing or person in particular. It might be helpful to think about what you are experiencing right now as a kind of super power and observe any new insights you collect during this time.
