Tarotscopes | August 2024
Hi babes! The month of August is filled with drama, love and frustration which will make for one hell of a ride.
Here are some dates to pay attention to:
August 2: Venus square Uranus.
From the 2nd to 5th of this month expect some drama and flair when it comes to interpersonal relationships or finances. An unexpected argument or hefty bill might come your way.
August 4: New Moon in Leo
This is a very gorgeous new moon as it will be petting Venus. For this Lunation prepare for creativity and passion to fill all the spaces of your life. Spend time with those you love, update and give beauty to all that you value.
August 5th: Mercury retrograde in Virgo/Leo
One of everyone’s favorite transits, Mercury Retrograde, will officially start on the fifth of this month. Look out for the classic mishaps during this time. Remember a retrograde is an invitation to rethink and redo.
August 19th: Full Moon in Aquarius
This lunation is all about letting go of the way you think about something or someone. In the sign of Aquarius you can always take away a new intellectual understanding. Mixed signals might also be abundant during this time, making for interesting events.
August 23rd: Virgo season begins!
The tarot card for the month of August is the Seven of Pentacles! There’s a sense of worry in the collective. At this time, we may be preoccupied by heavy thoughts that things will fail or won’t go as planned. Don’t let this restrictive way of thinking influence you! Ask yourself the validity of these thoughts and feelings. For what reason would you fail? Are there reasons for which things might not go as planned? If so, address them head on.

Happy July everyone! The summer is officially here, with some peculiar retrogrades and emotional lunations.
Here are some transits to take a look at:
July 2: Neptune Retrograde/ Mercury in Leo
This month starts off with Mercury entering the sign of Leo. Expect communication to be more dramatic and comedic. Many will feel drawn to more passionate ways of speaking. Mercury will also be entering retrograde in this sign on August 1. On the same day, Neptune, the planet of illusion and spirituality, will retrograde. This won’t be noticeable to the collective directly, as Neptune is farther out. But pay attention to dreams and psychic pings becoming more prominent until December.
July 5: New moon in Cancer
This moon is all about us entering into a new emotional cycle. What has not been processed or addressed might come up during this week. This lunation is a psychic cleansing, urging us to push through all the feelings, and be vulnerable.
July 11: Venus enters Leo
The planet of romance in the sign of Leo makes for passion. Bold acts of affection might take place in our existing relationships. Now is the time to give and receive love freely from those you are close to! This is also an ideal time to pamper and celebrate yourself.
July 21: Full Moon in Capricorn
This is our second full moon in Capricorn, the previous one being June 21st. What have we learned in this period? What blocks are still experiencing? Let go of whatever it is that’s holding you back.
The Tarot Card for the collective is The Emperor! What revitalization does your life need? Are you currently acting towards this? These are the questions to ask yourself.

Happy June! This month is very hyper to say the least. I’m excited to share that the majority of the planetary transits are upbeat and auspicious for most! Here are the days to lookout for.
June 1-7th: Sun conjunct Venus in Gemini. The first week of the month is going to be socially exhausting for most. With this connection taking place, your social life will take flight. Connections worth having could be made during this time. If you have something to promote now is the time.
June 6th: New Moon in Gemini. This new moon will be a rebirth in ideas, how we exchange information or even gaining new insight. During this lunation we might discover new insights about what we want to do next.
June 17th: Venus enters Cancer. After a very busy beginning to the month, this Venus transit will invite more homebody energy. Taking pleasure in the simple things.
June 21st: Full moon in Capricorn. This is a very straightforward new moon. We are letting go of personal limitations, and realigning with new goals. Let this be the time we take a deeper look of what we want, and what is holding us back.

Happy Spring! This May, is one of my favorite months astrologically this year. This is due to the amount of positive energy it is radiating to us all. This positive momentum is due to a myriad of reasons, the main being Jupiter and the Sun will be in Taurus for the majority of the month.

The tarot card for the collective this month is The Sun. The Sun is one of, if not the most positive card in the tarot. After what has been a rough or challenging period, we are beginning to see the light. Eclipse season and retrogrades brought many losses, and harsh endings to many.

Happy April! As we start the month we will currently be in a mercury retrograde in the sign of Aries, which will be a little tougher than most retrogrades. This is due to the fact that it is in fact Aries season, and eclipse season in this sign.

Tarotscopes | March 2024
Happy March everyone! This month is playful yet serious. This juxtaposition makes for a uniquely weird time for the collective. We begin the month with Mercury and Neptune conjunct in the sign of Pisces. This transit makes for our thoughts and words to take on this dream like quality. We’re setting goals, making vision boards and feeling limitless.
This can be a beautiful time as long as we don’t take action (yet) as the illusionary quality can lead to oversights and mistakes.
Following this we have a new moon in Pisces on March 9th. The new moon in Pisces is a beautiful time to relinquish and reset before the beginning of eclipse season, which starts toward the end of the month.
The lunar eclipse in Libra which will be taking place on the 25th, symbolizes an ending. We are pushed to step into our individuality, and no longer lean on certain social groups or parties to support us. We are building the strength to stand firm on our own in some aspect of our lives. Unlike a full moon, which is typically about release and new beginnings, lunar eclipses are much more intense.
The Tarot card for the collective is the Page of Wands! The Page is here to signify the limitless potential that can be tapped into when we follow our inspiration. Take action toward your goals, curiosities or anything you feel called to. Now is the time to play around with ideas, make mistakes and not take yourself too seriously.
There is a childlike energy with the Page of Wands, that wants you to enjoy the process.

Happy February! This month is a little wild to say the least, and I personally am intrigued to see how it all turns out. This unpredictability is brought on by the amount of Aquarius energy that will be present for the majority of this month.

On the 18th of the month the Sun will enter Pisces bringing back a sense of connection and friendship.
This Piscean energy will then usher in the Full Moon in Virgo, on Saturday February 24th. This Full Moon will be all about redesigning and releasing elements of our day to day life, the way we treat our health, and other tasks that aren’t serving us.
The tarot card for the collective is the Six of Cups! The card of pleasure and blissfulness. Now is the time for emotional renewal, and the exchange of pleasures. After the five of cups (disappointment) we have overcome the ways in which we get in our own way. Lean into enjoying your life.

There is currently a plethora of fear and doubt circling you. This can be seen as a positive as you are actively deciding to change and up level, but your fear is holding you back.

Tarotscopes | January 2024
It’s a new year. A clean slate where anything can happen. Last year we ended with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, but as of January 1st Mercury has stationed direct. Communication, our thoughts and any mishaps will have self corrected.
As the month progresses we have an activation of what motivates us when Mars enters Capricorn on January 4th.
Mars is the gas pedal of the cosmos, meaning our drive and tenacity will peak for the remainder of the month into February. So any resolutions might actually have some follow through! In the middle of the month we have a New Moon in Capricorn on the 11th. This new moon will also aid us in our personal, financial or career advancement. It’s as if we finally see the ways we might be holding ourselves back, and taking action to change things for our betterment. These themes will also be continued with Venus being in Capricorn as well. As the month ends we have a full moon in Leo, inviting a playful and dramatic energy. Our willingness to take a break from responsibilities will definitely come about.
The tarot card for the collective this month is the Hierophant. There are many layers to this card as it is a major arcana. In essence, it is about tradition, values and spirituality. Not commonly known, this card is connected to the Hebrew letter “Vav” which translates to “nail”. This is important to note because as a nail connects one object to another, we connect ourselves to those around us, and to any higher powers we believe in. This month, think about your connections. Are you connected to yourself? Are you connected to your spirit? What can you do to walk with your spirit and your authentic self? Ponder these things and continue to remember your purpose.
I am wishing each and everyone one of you a wonderful and healthy new year. May all your dreams come true! XX

Tarotscopes | December 2023
Happy December everyone! I wanted to take a moment to say thank you all for engaging with these tarotscopes the way you do. The year is coming to a close, and the astrology is a tad wild.
The energetic theme this December is trying to avoid mishaps by communicating clearly, and prioritizing what’s true to you. Venus, the planet of Love and values, is in the sign of Scorpio for the majority of the month. This signifies an intensity and maybe even a dogmatic approach to all things relationships. Make sure to approach those you love with extra support and less intensity.
Continuing with themes of intensity, Mars the planet of aggression and drive is in the fiery sign of Sagittarius all month long. So direct, forceful reactions are to be expected. People will not feel any need to bite their tongue. So it is important to remain vigilant that what we are communicating is as thoughtful and kind as possible.
This Sagittarius aggression will be heightened come the new moon on December 12th. With the sky being fire dominated and squaring Neptune, this new moon is a time to lay low and avoid drama at all costs. Especially since the following day Mercury will go retrograde in Capricorn. As the month comes to a close, things become less intense. There will be a full moon in Cancer on December 26th which brings nurturing and softness. Perfect timing to make sure any holiday plans go well.
The tarot card for the collective this month is The Ace of Cups! My personal favorite, this card is a gift from the universe that love and blessings are on their way. This December, engage with others in a more compassionate way, and watch the exchange enrich the lives of all. There is a miraculous moment unfolding right now, and by engaging with it you too will be rewarded.

The Devil card is a tough one to summarize for anyone. In essence, this December try to avoid power dynamics and drama that doesn’t involve you.

Tarotscopes | November 2023
Happy November everyone! This marks our descent into harvest and Scorpio season. The astrology for the month is here to support us on this journey. The most major aspect I want to spotlight is Jupiter in Taurus opposing the Sun in Scorpio. This transit will be here for the majority of November.
When Jupiter, the planet of blessings, is opposing the Sun it is asking us to decide. Do we decide to go with our growth, or stay where we are? This choice is ours, however Jupiter wants us to think bigger.
The reason I find this such a beautiful month is the connection the cosmos are wanting us to make with our authenticity.
On the 22nd of the month Sagittarius season begins and brings about much more optimism.
This is significant as there will be a full moon in Gemini on November 27th, ushering in a more mutable and playful energy.
The Tarot card for the collective is Judgement. As we drop deeper into the year, and Scorpio season, this card takes on a whole new meaning. Be decisive, be ready to lose parts of yourself that are holding you back. Analyze your life and surroundings and see if it feels authentic to you. Remain steadfast in your pursuit to be whole and authentically you. Release all doubt, and limiting beliefs.
Tarotscopes by Justin Taylor { @youwannabejustintaylor }
Aries
Queen of Cups
Receptivity, self-care, getting in touch with what matters to you. November will be a month to heal and relax after what might have been an erratic October. Take time for you!
Taurus
Three of Pentacles
Gradual progress is how the Three of Pentacles is defined. Right now you’re past the drawing board stage, and are set on your goal. Currently, you may feel far away from it, but you are closer than you think! Work hard now, and relax later..

Leo
The Empress
The Empress card is ruled by Venus. Meaning when she appears her Venusian qualities are highlighted in your life. This month, give and receive love freely. Treat yourself and your loved ones.
Virgo
Page of Swords
New ideas are plenty for you this month Virgo. The Page of Swords is a symbol of quick thoughts and actions. So start planning and taking action now! The downside to this card is the anxiety that may be caused from not taking any action at all.
Libra
The Devil
With all the eclipses in the sign of Libra this year the Devil is the perfect card. Those with prominent Libra placements are at risk of being demonized as they establish their independence, dropping their people-pleasing demeanor. Stand your ground, meet your accusers with kindness.
Scorpio
Four of Cups
You’re in a tender spot this November, Scorpio. As it is your season make sure to stay open to all the possibilities, miracles and love. Even if you’re extra sensitive right now, know that you’re supported in all ways.

Gaining and growing, your hard work has paid off. The Nine of Pentacles is also known as the card of Gain. At this moment do you know your highest goal in life? And are you feeling aligned with it? If the answer is yes, keep going! Otherwise use your current success to invest in your dreams!
Aquarius
Death
This November might make you more aware of the ways you need to change. Take a good look at all the ways you have outgrown yourself and your soon to be old life. Relax, and let go freely. Fall into something seemingly scary, but ultimately more rewarding.
Pisces
The High Priestess
Very on brand for the Pisces babe! The High Priestess is a reminder to always trust your intuition. Listen to the quiet, still voice within. The hard part will be to distinguish anxiety and guidance. When this happens, ask yourself if this is an inner knowing, or a heightened projection.
Tarotscopes | October 2023
Happy October everyone! This month is very jarring and fast paced in comparison to the past retrograde heavy months we’ve experienced.
Starting off strong, this month marks the start of eclipse season. Our first being a Solar eclipse in Libra on the 14th. This eclipse season is about people pleasing, playing small or being too agreeable. Letting go of these traits in order to be more authentically aligned is the task at hand. This theme of agreeability versus authenticity will repeat again as Venus will be entering the sign of Virgo on October 9th.
Venus in Virgo is in its fall, meaning the collective will become much more discerning and restrictive in all matters of value and relationships. So we will be much more vocal about what our standards are in all areas of life.
Another thing to take note of is Mars returning to its home sign of Scorpio on October 12th. This energy will allow us to follow through and take action where it matters. No more daydreaming, we are chasing what we want.
As the month closes out we will experience a full moon in Taurus on October 28th. This full moon is about clearing out possessions, whether it’s the material or energetic possession. We are being called to make space for bigger and better things.
The Tarot Card for the collective this October is the Six of Cups. Known as the card of Pleasure, this is a reminder to show gratitude for all we have currently. Look at all the areas in which we deny ourselves joy or restrict ourselves. Enjoy this period of emotional renewal. Share your joy with others, and remember to celebrate even what appears to be a small win.
Tarotscopes by Justin Taylor { @youwannabejustintaylor }
Aries
Page of Pentacles
This October you will have a change or new beginning in regards to your career or finances. Paying off a debt, a raise or new position in your existing company. This is a positive and wanted change, celebrating your hard work.

Material security is always a top priority for you Taurus, and this month is no different. The Nine of Pentacles is both an omen of success but also a reminder that your goal is nearby. Keep working hard, you’re almost there.
Gemini

October’s theme is one of introspection. Emotions, nostalgia and feelings you may have put aside are coming back for you to finally utilize them. Turn to writing, a trusted confidant or artistic expression in this time. Be receptive.
Cancer
Strength
You currently possess the opportunity to start a new creative endeavor. Art is heavily associated with the Strength card and so is the energy of Leo. With this in mind, know not only will you have the creative spark, but also the boldness to follow it through.
Leo
Nine of Cups
The Nine of Cups is entitled Happiness in many tarot systems. This October enjoy the blessings and joy that is in store for you. Sit back and fill your heart with gratitude, as you have worked tirelessly for this blissful moment.
Virgo
Queen of Pentacles
Self-care is the key word when the Queen of Pentacles appears. Usually stress and anxiety are the cornerstone of your mental framework, but for once lean into something pleasurable. Invest in something that provides escape and release. The better you feel the better you will be able to take care of all that worries you.
Libra
The Fool
You are ready for some newness! The Fool shows up to tell you that now is the time for your next leap. If you experience fear around change ask yourself why? The ability to forge your own life and develop more autonomy is here now.
Scorpio
The Wheel of Fortune
Luck, blessings and the Universe itself seems to be turning in your favor this October. The Wheel of Fortune usually appears after what we perceive to be a struggle. Take time to apply this luck into every aspect of your life. What do you feel is lacking in your life currently? Where do you want to find expansion? Ponder these and see where it takes you.
Sagittarius
King of Cups
Heartfelt and vulnerable, the King of Cups is here to show you what you’ve been missing. Sitting in your feelings isn’t the Sagittarius way, but this October will change that. This month, look to see where your deepest feelings and thoughts take you. Have you created an environment in which you can fully access them?
Capricorn
Judgement
Lovingly assess the quality in all areas of your life. What can stay and what can go. Make space to have high quality relationships and items that meet your standards. With this being said, also take atonement for yourself and the ways you can be better, therefore attracting things of equal value.
Aquarius
Page of Cups
Idealism and inspiration follow you this October, Aquarius. An idea, a work of art, a muse may appear this month allowing you to pivot to your source of inspiration. Whatever you are currently calling in, look for people who model whatever it is you wish to possess. See to believe what is possible, and realize you can do it too!
Pisces
The Sun
After what may have felt like a rough patch things are looking up. The Sun card is an omen of joy. This month will be filled with happiness and bliss as you have been through it as of late. The Sun always breaks the clouds and illuminates the beauty that surrounds us always.
Tarotscopes | September 2023
Happy September everyone! This month is the month we regain some normalcy and get ourselves back on track. After what seems like an eternity of retrogrades, September is the month that everything stations direct. Meaning that the celestial energies align with us once more, to push forward.
The first of the planets to station direct is Venus, which will end its retrograde on the fourth of this month. This is significant as it will clear up any muddiness in our interpersonal or financial relationships. Venus’ aesthetic and sensibility will be felt by us all once again, which will make creativity, love and money all make sense to us once again.
Following suit, Mercury retrograde will come to a close middle of the month on September 15th. Travel and Communication will pick back up, and we will have our focus back on the future instead of rehashing past grievances.
There will be a new moon in Virgo on September 14th, making for a logical approach to perfecting ourselves. This new moon might invite feelings of inadequacy, and have us taking a critical look at our past actions in way to prevent them from ever happening again.
On September 23rd Libra season will fully be upon us. This will invite a much needed sense of playfulness. Interpersonal relationships will come to the forefront. This ushers in the full moon in Aries which will be taking place on the 29th. This full moon is significant as it will illuminate our independence. Questioning where you start, and they end. If prone to people pleasing and following the crowd, this is the time to start again and think for yourself.
The Tarot Card for the collective this month, is the Ace of Wands! Realizing the framework of how you can manifest your dreams is the focus. The Ace is the beginning, the spark which makes you realize what’s possible. Take this energy and see where it leads. You can make anything happen.
Tarotscopes by Justin Taylor { @youwannabejustintaylor }
Aries
The Chariot
When the Chariot arrives, it is an omen of positive movement. At this time, you may be called to switch things up, or quite literally move. This month consider the possibilities of transitioning into a new phase of your life. What changes can you make now that will “move” you to where you want to be.
Taurus
Knight of Cups
You are currently in the pursuit of love, Taurus. Regardless, if you are happily married or single this message still rings true. Love takes many forms, and when the Knight appears it is all about chasing love. Whether it is a passion project, your friendships, or rekindling the spark with a partner. Give love freely, and watch it multiply in your life.
Gemini
Knight of Wands
No matter how inspired this moment might seem, don’t be too impulsive Gemini. Taking aligned action and thinking through all the necessary steps is how to accomplish your long term goals. You currently possess, the energy, courage and inspiration to chase whatever you dream of.
Cancer
Four of Pentacles
Holding onto things too tightly might seem like survival at this point, Cancer. Money, a person, a situation, but it is time to let it go. In the material world, the more you keep the more you have, in the spiritual world the more you give, the more you have. Surrender it, and watch how free you become.
Leo
Eight of Cups
There is a self-sabotaging energetic to the Eight of Cups. Currently, you might be in a situation which triggers your sense of self worth. Now is the time to redirect your love back into yourself. No job, relationship, or situation has a monopoly on your worth. You can do anything.
Virgo
Six of Cups
The Six of Cups is also known as the card of blissfulness. At this time, the opportunity to find your bliss, is unmatched. Engage with the activities and the people that make you happy. Cultivate a daily practice that allows you to tap into this joy at any given moment.
Libra
The Heirophant
There is a call for a newfound sense of spirituality. If you feel aligned with this, it might be time to find classes or mentorship with something that you connect to. You are realizing that you are a spirit having a human experience, and not the other way around.
Scorpio
The Sun
After what seems like a rough patch, you are finally seeing the other side. The Sun is one of the most positive cards in the tarot. It is the reminder that even when you can’t see past the clouds, that the sky remains blue. This is the time to sit in your joy.
Sagittarius
Page of Wands
You are stepping into a moment which is already aligned with your natural qualities. The Page of Wands is synonymous with adventure and a free-spirited nature. Experiment, take risks, learn something new. The playful side of creativity is calling you to expand your talents into something new.
Capricorn
The Hanged Man
This month try to your best to practice some introspection. The Hanged Man is the card of confusion and inaction. When you look inside yourself you will discover you already have all the answers of what to do next. Be easy on yourself, and whatever the consequence of what you decide, you can handle it.
Aquarius
The Emperor
Embrace structure, discipline and all the things that don’t necessarily relate to your contrarian nature. If you feel as if your life isn’t exactly what you intended it to be at this time, it is a call for you to start showing up for what you believe you deserve. The Emperor is a symbol of self mastery, use it to motivate you into achieving what you believe is possible.
Pisces
Page of Pentacles
Rejuvenating your finances, might be a topic for you this September. How can you marry your passions and business? What talents do you currently possess that could be of value to those around you? These are the types of questions to pondering this month. The Page of any suit in the Tarot is the beginning, and in this case a new beginning in your material world.
Tarotscopes | August 2023
Happy August! We start this month off immediately with a full moon in Aquarius on the 1st. This full moon is occurring close to Pluto which might make for some paranoia. To intensify this situation we will also have Mercury in Virgo opposing Saturn in Pisces. Making our thoughts and speech a little off, to say the least.
We jump from this austere and cold beginning to the month, right to the Leo new moon which takes place on the 16th. The Leo new moon is all about drama and creativity. Look at this moon as a new beginning connecting you with things you care about. This would be a very auspicious moon to jump start a creative endeavor.
As the month comes to a close we are hit with everyones favorite, mercury retrograde taking place from August 23rd to September 14th. This retrograde does take place in mercury’s home sign of Virgo meaning it shouldn’t be too awful. But with Venus still retrograde the tail end of this month might be annoying.
Lastly, Mars, the engine of the cosmos will be entering its antithesis Libra. This transit will make for passive aggressive energy. Not good, not bad, just a challenge. When it comes to getting things done, we might be more people pleasing than usual.
The Tarot card for the collective this month is the Eight of Wands. I affectionately call this the same-day-delivery card. The Eight of Wands is all about swift actions and quick changes. For the collective, this energetic will most likely play out by quickly realizing issues and taking action. We have a lot of meticulous energies floating in the sky right now, allowing us to rethink our choices and conditions. Use this period to clean up the mistakes now, so you can have your desires sooner than later.
Tarotscopes by Justin Taylor { @youwannabejustintaylor }

As the North Node has entered your sign for the remainder of this year, you will find yourself taking bold leaps of personal growth, which may surprise others. The Seven of Wands is here to remind you to go after your desires and be comfortable making others uncomfortable.
Taurus
King of Cups
Nostalgia, melancholy, or even a varied array of emotions are present for you at this time. This August has taken you into emotional depths as you have completed a cycle of life. The past two years have transformed you, and ushered you into a new chapter. Take these feelings of nostalgia and create new memories worth remembering.

Leo
Three of Cups
As this is the peak of your season, the three of cups is no surprise. This is the card of celebration and social activity. When engaging with this energetic, it is important to know the why for the celebration. Like all things, partying and social gatherings might create for unnecessary drama.
Virgo
Knight of Cups
Depending on the circumstances you’re facing right now this card could have a myriad of meanings. The main point is to activate your ability to trust that the truth will be revealed and justice will be served. If you have been wronged in the recent past you will get the closure needed. However, if you have amends to make you will be taken to task.
Libra
The Devil
A power struggle of sorts is apparent at this time. Since the end of last month, the South Node has entered your sign. This cycle has already begun, making you aware of habits, beliefs, people, or situations that are no longer cutting it. The Devil isn’t outside, its inside. This Devil, is the voice within, making you self-sabotage, lower your self esteem and play small. Vanquish it by challenging yourself to risk all of it, for an even better life. You can do anything.
Scorpio
Five of Wands
Do something about the situation you are in. The Five of Wands is all about a challenge that must be faced in order to meet our end desire. With this in mind, it is an invitation to “challenge” that which confines you. Taking things step by step, you will overcome any obstacle.
Sagittarius

Very fitting card for you Sag. The Page of Cups is the card of idealism and hope. Naturally optimistic, engage with this energy to feel inspired. Follow suit, dream it and then do it. Take this inspiration and follow it wherever it leads. Sometimes the most beautiful thing we can do is dream.
Capricorn
Ten of Cups
Enjoy this win, Capricorn. The Ten of Cups is the finale, meaning you have completed what you set out to do. Getting the job, finding the ideal living space, or solidifying the relationship. Whatever it is you have achieved, be proud of yourself. As a Capricorn, I’m sure you worked for this.
Aquarius
The Hierophant
Spirituality is a key theme for you at this time. If you are reading this, I am sure you are already somewhat intrigued by esoteric studies. However, this could be on a deeper level. Finding a spiritual group or teacher could be something to open up to. Or even on a personal level, modeling the kind of spirit you wish to see exist in this world.
Pisces
King of Pentacles
A big financial or material win! In essence, that is what the King of Pentacles is all about. Your past work will pay off in a large way. Investments, your day job, a forgotten check you get to cash. In some way material abundance is in the wings for you.
Tarotscopes | July 2023
Happy July everyone, this month is all about getting back to what you authentically value. The themes of value, relationships and money are all present from the first onward as we start this July with both Mars and Venus in Leo.
Having both of these planets in the theatrically charismatic sign of Leo, will bring drama, generosity and maybe even gossip to everything around us. Even though Venus, the planet of love and security, typically does well in this placement, this summer is a bit off. This is because she will be stationing retrograde on July 22, until mid August. Venus retrograde will have us rethinking what our values are, and what it is we love the most. This is not the time to sign any new documents involving money, or get serious about a new relationship. This retrograde does not mean anything is doomed by fate, merely subject to change. If you are a Leo rising, take this as the plot twist, or a new chapter of life.
On July 3rd, we will have a full moon in Capricorn. This lunation will illuminate our growth, and
help aid us in our journey as we get serious about our future. More focus will be applied to these areas as well toward the end of the month when Mars enters Virgo.
Get ready for a glow up, on all levels. The card for the collective this month is The Sun. The most positive card in the tarot, The Sun is a promise of good things not only to come, but that are always present. The fulfillment of your wishes are here now. Take this time to feel and be guided by the light that guides you.
Send love, be cool and be kind.

Be careful not to fall for things that are too good to be true. The Seven of Cups is the card of daydreams and illusions. Make sure to be aware of the reality or even consequences of your actions this July.
Taurus
Seven of Pentacles
Investment of your efforts is now up for reevaluation. The duality of this card is that you have done the work, and can fall back on the success of your efforts, but you are blocked by fearful expectations. There might be a roadblock right now, but keep going!

Success, abundance and accomplishment. You have worked for and achieved something that will manifest during this time. Whether it is material or spectral, have gratitude for the wealth surrounding you now.
Capricorn
Page of Swords
Debating, thinking and philosophizing are key elements in your life currently. Your mind might be buzzing and going fast with ideas. Take a step back before putting anything into action. Spend time in this space to create the life you want.
Aquarius
Five of Cups
A recent disappointment may have you feeling defeated and downtrodden. If you engage with tarot yourself pull some cards around where you fear disappointment and what will come from it. Remember not to outsource your joy, and that you have the ability to overcome.
Pisces
Six of Cups
You are truly engaged with the harmony of the present moment. The Six of Cups is synonymous with Scorpionic energy which allows you to dive deep. Your relationships, your joys, and experiences reach fulfilling depths.
Tarotscopes | June 2023
Happy June! Things are beginning to heat up, and a resurgence of energy and enthusiasm are
among us.
As we enter into this month, we have Jupiter in Taurus and Mars in Leo. There is a desire to occupy your time with the things you value. To create beautiful surroundings and prioritize creative undertakings.
On the other hand, Mars in Leo is hot, and egoic in nature. So there is a temptation to be self indulgent and unnecessarily defensive. Try not to take things as personally, as they might appear.
We start off the first week of June with a Full moon in Sagittarius on the third. This can be an indoctrination of a new spiritual or personal understanding which is more positive than those of the past.
Following this, we will have Venus entering Leo, which will invite a much more luxurious and elaborate energy into the collective. I would look out for overspending, but would encourage a renewal of any creative projects. Something else to look out for this month will be the Gemini new moon occurring on June 17th.
This Gemini new moon will be a slightly dramatic event with gossip or drama which will quickly disappear as we enter Cancer season on the 21st.
On the same day we will experience a Saturn retrograde into Pisces which will make for some rebellion. Restructuring boundaries you’ve created over the past three months could also come in handy.
The tarot card for the collective this month is the Page of Swords. The Page shows up as an invitation to begin to plan, to bring all your goals into fruition. This is the time to attune your mindset and worldview to one which is conducive of what you would like to achieve. The downside of this may be short-term or impulsive thinking. Go beyond setting goals and think about what happens once you achieve them.
This June ask yourself what your plan is, and remember you have all the tools to make them a reality.

Tarotscopes | May 2023
Happy May! This month, the stars are a little wild to say the least. As I am sure you are aware, we are currently in a Mercury retrograde until the 14th of this month. As this retrograde isn’t doing anything too crazy I would not be too concerned.
On the 5th of this month we have a full moon lunar eclipse in Scorpio. Intense, this lunation will be a major reset and release for the collective. Past issues may resurface as a way to finally end the cycle of healing. I look at Scorpio full moons as a total refresh, hopefully you’ll experience the same.
On the 7th of the month Venus, the planet of love and values will enter the sign of Cancer. Promoting the idea of valuing things that will stand the test of time. Investing, long-term relationships and security will seem more important.
The Most exciting transit will occur on the 16th with Jupiter entering Taurus. The most auspicious and lucky celestial body entering the sign of earthly abundance will be one for the books. You can look forward to an upward swing in the economy, natural resources and cultivating of self care. Be mindful of frivolous spending.
The Tarot Card for the collective this month is the Two of Swords! The Two of Swords is a reminder to not be avoidant, and to make the choice. This card hits heavier during this retrograde, as we may be confronted with our own inactions. Let this urge you to be decisive about the hard things, and advocate for the way you wish things to be.

Tarotscopes | April 2023
Happy April everyone! It’s Spring, and Aries season is upon us. For the majority of the month we have Mars, the planet of aggression, in the sign of Cancer. This isn’t the most ideal situation as we all might have a tendency to act without clarity. My advice for the collective would be not
to fight over anything petty or act out of moodiness.
This will also be exacerbated by the Sun being conjunct to both Chiron and Jupiter for the majority of the month.
Chiron is this space of healing and past wounds. This being in an aspect with the Sun is putting a spotlight on this area. Past triggers or wounds might resurface.
On April 5th we will have a full moon in Libra. A letting go of an emotional process that’s not serving us anymore. This is a great time to engage with journaling, seeking council or remedying anything that does not suit your emotional wellbeing.
Towards the middle of the month we have an Aries new moon and partial eclipse on April 19th. The same themes of wounds and how to heal them will definitely be full throttle.
In essence, this April will be all about self development and self advocacy. Prioritizing our needs in a way that benefits those around us.
The tarot card for the collective this month is the Ten of Cups! One of the most enriching cards in the tarot, this ensures a month of joy and heartfelt experiences. Take extra time to surround yourself with loved ones, and engage in experiences that celebrate life. Happy Spring everyone!
Aries
Three of Cups
As it is your season, the Three of Cups is an obvious choice. This card is the card of celebration. It’s here to say gather up your friends and let loose. If not particularly social, do something that feels celebratory just for you.

Cancer

Critical thinking mixed with intuition will make you unstoppable. The High Priestess is a very enigmatic energy. You may be faced with situations which require some element of intuition or divination.

Scorpio
Knight of Swords
Your drive is unmatched at this time Scorpio. Make sure you’re not acting impulsively. You’re capable of handling multiple tasks with ease, but apply ample time for rest. The trouble with this card is burnout. Whatever task is at hand you will succeed.

Capricorn
King of Wands
A sense of leadership is associated with this card. If things around you are not to your liking, step up to the plate in effort to change them. Advocate for yourself and others in order to get things accomplished. When faced with disorganization be the voice of reason.
Aquarius
The Hanged Man
There’s a strong sense of confusion and stuckness at the moment. You currently are in the process of putting things back together in your life. When TheHanged Man appears, take it as a message to just surrender and not force it. Naturally intellectual, you may become frustrated that you can’t think your way out of this one. Just trust that it’ll work itself out.
Pisces
Four of Wands
You are coming into a sense of harmony after what has felt like a series of trying months. There is a magical and loving feeling that will drop over you for the majority of April. The worst is over and there is so much to be excited for.
Working Animals Into Your Practice Responsibly.
Working Animals Into Your Practice Responsibly
By Jess Ellis
“But in fact we do not come from dust, nor do we return to dust. We come from life, and we are a conduit for other life. We come from and return to incomparably amazing plants and animals. Even while we are alive, our wastes are recycled directly into beetles, grass, and trees, which are recycled further into bees and butterflies and on to flycatchers, finches, and hawks, and back into grass and on into deer, cows, goats, and us.” -Bernd Heinrich from Life Everlasting: The Animal Way of Death
In magic and witchcraft, animals and nature are often a very important part of our practice. We work with certain animals to harness specific energies in our process or, in a broader sense, as a way to relate to and better understand the land we live on and the beings we share it with.
Many of us wish to collect physical remnants of animals to incorporate into our altars or spellwork, but would like to do so as ethically as possible, retaining a respect and reverence for the life of that creature. “Ethically sourced” is a tricky term, in my opinion, with ethics by definition being very subjective. Each practitioner and tradition holds their own unique set of ethics and values by which they practice, often informed by society and culture. I prefer to use the term “sustainably sourced”, keeping in mind that these materials should be obtained in a way that does not harm another living being for the purpose of using it in my work, while also honoring its life by not letting anything go to waste. We must also be aware of certain laws and regulations which prohibit the collection of certain species. These laws may seem arbitrary or overly strict (“I found it already dead!”) but are put in place for good reason to protect vulnerable populations. Since there is virtually no way to prove that one did not harm or kill the animal, the authorities enforce these regulations very strictly and possessing certain animal parts can lead to hefty legal repercussions.
If you do choose to collect your own bones, etc. from natural-death items you may find on your property or in the landscape, I have a few thoughts. I think this can be a lovely and sustainable way to find these pieces, and often a specific spirit may find you in this way, allowing you to have a more personal connection. One of the biggest factors (ecologically) that I consider when deciding if a natural item is ok to remove from a landscape, is the community of other living things that thrive off of an animal carcass that remains after death. Though many of the smaller organisms that congregate around this feast may seem distasteful to the casual observer, they all play a crucial role in the delicate balance of the ecosystem through the recycling of nutrients, and the continuation of the cycle of life and death. Without beings like bacteria, flies, burying beetles, dung beetles, fungi – and even crows, vultures, and many rodents – the dead remain as they are, and the cycle of life cannot go on.
Some species, such as the American Burying Beetle which is critically endangered in the United States, rely primarily on carrion as their food source. Due to many factors, including human destruction of natural habitats, carrion is a precious and often scarce resource. If you notice a bustling community on the animal you wish to remove from the habitat, consider the fact that you may be taking a precious meal from hundreds, if not thousands, of other organisms. I would opt to collect when an animal has reached a later stage of decomposition, when there is little nourishment left for others. I also highly recommend exploring and educating yourself about death as a part of any spiritual practice. It is the inevitable fate we all face, and I believe life becomes a much more precious experience when we consider that it all ends one day. Honor the creatures, large and small, who play a role in this process, and allow us to continually use and reuse the many nutrients that exist on this planet, without which we would starve. If you wish to really get down to the microbial level and learn to connect with the tiniest microbes with respect and understanding, I would encourage you to check out Siv Watkins’ brilliant work on Microanimism.
Another important factor in your decision to remove from the landscape includes ensuring that the species you are collecting is not protected from such activities by law (Migratory bird act etc.) Also carefully consider the legality of location. If you are on private property, you should have the permission of the land owner to collect. Also, other areas such as National Parks restrict collection of any natural resource. Violating such laws may result in heavy penalties and are a federal offense. I would encourage you to research the laws pertaining to the region you live in. In the United States, the US Fish & Wildlife Service’s website is a great place to start. Although these laws may seem overly strict, particularly if you did not harm an animal and they were already dead when you found them, they are there to protect species and ecosystems that are facing steep population decline, or extinction, and may exist in a very precarious balance. There may often be no way to prove whether or not you killed the animal, and these laws are there to protect many species against those who harm these animals intentionally.
If you prefer to forgo scavenging for your own parts, and wish to collect animal items that have already been cleaned and preserved by a skilled taxidermist or other practitioner, there are several ways to go about sourcing responsibly (and will ultimately depend on your own set of ethical standards). You can purchase from someone who works with animal bones, furs, etc. in a way that does not harm an individual animal or population and honors the life of that animal. My personal go-to is Oracle Natural Science in Kansas City (their items are also sold at Ritualcravt). Independently owned businesses like this may either find natural-death animals, or source from other industries which view resources like bones, fur, teeth, and claws, essentially as “waste”. Skilled practitioners will collect these items, clean, and preserve them, giving them a whole second life in a way that holds space and honor for that animal.
There are also many practitioners who wish to refrain from using any real animal products at all. In this case, there are several creators who make animal bone and skull replicas which are a lovely substitute and still can embody that animal spirit you wish to work with or use as an offering on your altar. (Lantern Labs creates lovely, hand painted replicas which you can find at Ritualcravt). You may also choose to represent the animal by carving their form out of a candle. The burning of such a candle can represent the offering of that animal to a deity or for a working. The creative options here are really endless. Write a poem or short essay that represents what that animal means to you, draw or paint a portrait of the animal, or create a small sculpture. You can even perform a dance in which you move in a similar way to that animal. I think creative offerings, into which you have poured your energy, are a beautiful and potent way to connect with and honor a spirit, deity, or your ancestors. It is an offering of your own labor, hand, and creative spirit. Many may say “I’m not an artist”, or “I’m not a creative person” but a spiritual practice is in its own right an act of creativity and self expression. Magic is an art and as magical practitioners, we are all capable of creating and alchemizing one energy form into another.
Another way to connect with animals in your practice is to simply visit them out in nature and just sit with them. Observe at a distance that is safe and does not disturb them. Rest, listen, and quietly watch as they exist in the world. Take notes, draw sketches, and just note any feelings, thoughts, and images that come up for you. Our memories of these experiences remain with us and help to inform our practice, and how we move about in this world. It is humbling to be immersed in a natural environment and remember, that these animals do not need us for their existence. We all cohabitate in this environment and it is important to remember how our actions affect the world around us. If you have the ability, donate your time or give monetary donations to wildlife preservation or rehabilitation programs. Do what you can to give back in some way, because humans as a species have taken so much. Always remember that our time and acts of service are powerful offerings as well.
To speak a bit on my own personal set of standards, I commit to never harming another living being to benefit my practice. I do prefer to use actual bone, fur, etc. when possible because I find that these parts of the body retain a lot of energy from the life once lived. However, one deity that I have begun working with in my practice is often associated with vultures, an animal that is protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. I choose to represent that animal on my altar with the use of a 3-d printed resin replica skull. As I dive back into writing poetry, a practice I haven’t worked with in many years, I am also working toward writing a piece of poetry about the Vulture and what it means to me and to this deity.
I hope that, beyond giving ideas and thoughts regarding incorporating animals into your practice, that these words also remind all who read them that a spiritual or magical practice is a personal experience. It is easy to search for a book or website that gives us a guide to what a certain animal or plant represents energetically, but you will find as many opinions on these correspondences as there are people in this world. When I work with an animal, I pay attention to their biology, behavior, and their social structures. Do your own work to learn about the spirit you wish to work with. This is a time consuming process, but there is no better way to open yourself up to the messages out there that are waiting for you. As another example, consider the process of working with plants magically. You will develop a much closer relationship to a plant if you grow it yourself, from seed if you can. There is such a rewarding experience in working with a plant to transform it from a tiny seed into a fully grown and fruiting beautiful being. The process of feeding that plant, paying attention to its growing cycle, what it needs throughout the seasons, giving it offerings, speaking to it, and listening to what it has to say in return, will bring you much closer to it than simply picking the plant and using it based on someone else’s experience.
As the warm weather begins to return to this region, there will be many opportunities to immerse oneself in the natural landscape. Walk this path with respect, reverence, and a humble desire to learn from the creatures that have inhabited this planet for ages. Even in busy urban areas, there are opportunities to sit and watch. See the insects landing on dandelions in the cracks of a sidewalk. Watch the crows fly overhead and call to each other to gather at a dumpster for some sustenance. Observe the squirrels hopping from tree to tree, finding small morsels to stash away. These are learning opportunities to better understand what the animals can show us about our own existence. Stillness and observation can be some of the greatest of teachers.
Tarotscopes | February 2023
It’s February and we are finally at a cosmic neutral. A slow start to the month until Sunday, February 5th when we have a full moon in Leo. Full moons tend to amplify drama effortlessly, and in the sign of Leo this will be guaranteed. Pay close attention to your actions at this time. Try your best not to fall prey to gossip or petty fights.
In the middle of the month we have Mercury conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. This transit taking place on the 10th, will be one to look out for. Mercury and Pluto together in Capricorn is indicative of intense realizations and harsh truths coming to light. Use this best by having deeper conversations with partners and loved ones.
The Tarot card for the collective this month is the Four of Pentacles. When this card appears it’s a message to prioritize security, or just lighten up. Traditionally, it was a card meaning you are holding onto something tightly. Ask yourself what it is you are afraid to let go of, or leave up to fate. Take this month to trust that things will work out the way they are meant to be, and trust yourself to navigate it if they don’t.
Aries
Six of Wands
After a series of challenges or struggles you’ve made it out triumphantly. This card is the signature that success is guaranteed. If you are in the process of working toward a certain goal you will certainly achieve it. Congratulations!
Taurus
Two of Wands
Taking risks and leaving behind old comforts could be themes this February, Taurus. Naturally a fan of routine, you’re pushing yourself into new ventures that will broaden your worldview. If you’ve been hesitant to make changes, look at this as a push to just go do it.
Gemini
Knight of Pentacles
Focusing on work and daily tasks are at the forefront for February. Just like the cosmos this month, there’s nothing too wild to concern yourself with Gemini. Usually associated with drama, enjoy a chill month just prioritizing getting paid.
Cancer
King of Wands
Optimism! Energy! Making it happen! It’s showtime Cancer. After a period of fatigue and contemplation you’re feeling a spark again. The ideas and plans you’ve been mulling over are finally forming into some actionable steps. Take this as a motivator, to be risky and bold. The King of Wands wins by taking action.
Leo
Four of Cups
A reflection and a focus on past events may leave you feeling a little blue. This is natural and acceptable, but not your true nature. As a Leo, you are ruled by the Sun. This means optimism and the ability to provide light to dark times is innate. Things will be bright again before you know it.
Virgo
Ten of Pentacles
It might be tax season, a raise at work or any sort of investment; but abundance is certain. The Ten of Pentacles is symbolic of material success. If it does not materialize financially, it’ll materialize on some level. It could be a new job or even a progression in a romantic relationship.
Libra
Knight of Cups
Developments in relationships are happening quite quickly. If you are single this is a great omen that something new is coming your way; and existing relationships are going to the next level.
Scorpio
The Moon
When the Moon appears it’s a sign not to act, but to wait and listen. The full story isn’t available to you at this time. If you are about to make any new changes or agreements do your best to stay the course cautiously.
Sagittarius
The Magician
Luck and fortune always follow you Sagittarius, and now these gifts will be put to use as you begin anew. Create magic from anywhere! This February test your luck and see the magical things that follow.
Capricorn
Nine of Pentacles
Independent from birth you are taking strides to be even more so. Opportunities for financial freedom are going to become apparent. If feeling stifled or controlled this month this will show you how to get out and set your own path.
Aquarius
The Star
Oddly enough, the Star is the card for your sign Aquarius. Take note of what is currently taking place around you. If pursuing a new direction in life make way for inspiration. A sense of renewal and positive life changes are underway.
Pisces
Page of Swords
The plan for this February is cutting through old thought patterns and trying something new. Whatever stuckness you’re currently entangled in will be no match for your willingness to break through. Seek support from loved ones at this time to help aid you in the journey.
Tarotscopes | January 2023
Happy New Year! It is officially 2023, and this January starts off with a series of interesting transits. Mercury will be retrograde for almost the entirety of the month, not stationing direct until the 18th. After this, we will notice a resurgence of our cerebral capacity and our
willingness to plan ahead.
On the third of the month we have Venus entering Aquarius. This will be interesting for the collective as it will bring about a more open minded perspective. There is no sign more “free love” than Aquarius. If single or casual dating, you might notice some interesting or shocking behavior.
The 6th of the month we have a full moon in Cancer, meaning it’ll be time to grab all the tissues babes. This lunation is emotionally more intense as cancer rules deep feelings, and is pulled by the moon itself. Look forward to a very healthy emotional release around this time, or heartfelt moment shared with loved ones.
As the month progresses things begin to reach some normalcy. Mars, after spending the past few months in retrograde, will finally station direct on the 12th. This transit will spring us forward, and will help things manifest more effortlessly.
The ending of this month is very impactful as well with a new moon in Aquarius on the 21st. This new moon symbolizes the start of Aquarius season and ushers in a wave of brain power. If traditional manifestation is your thing, this is the moon cycle for you. Naturally free spirited, your feelings to do more and be more will be amplified.
The Tarot card for the collective this month is the Four of Wands. Celebration, openness and the possibilities for something new to begin. In the deck I primarily read with (the Pagan Otherworlds) this card is symbolized by an archway, entering onto a castle. New beginnings, a beautiful liminal space where anything can happen. The perfect card to start a new year.
Aries
Page of Wands
There is a sense of adventure and excitement this year, Aries. A new task or ambition might be igniting within you, urging you to start something. Start thinking of what it is you wish to accomplish next, and know the Page is an omen that you will achieve it in record time.
Taurus
Three of Wands
This January is all about looking toward the future with optimism, and collaborating to make your goals a reality. This month compile a list of what it is you are truly wanting, and think about anyone who would be able to assist. You will notice how many people are truly waiting in the wings to help you succeed.
Gemini
Two of Cups
Focus on close relationships at this time. The Two of Cups is about what it means to freely give and receive love. If you have had a recent rough patch with someone close, the is a great indication things will mend. If single, you might meet someone worth while.
Cancer
Ten of Cups
Happiness, fulfillment and emotional success are in the works, Cancer. After what has seemed like a series of unfortunate events, a big win is in store. Moving into your ideal home, taking the next step with a partner, getting recognized in an important way. Something truly special is making its way.
Leo
The Fool
Starting over, beginning something new, expanding into something unseen. These are the energetics around you this month Leo. When the fool appears, take it as a happy ending to what has come before. Look at your life and take inventory of what you can let go, and move forward accordingly.
Virgo
Five of Wands
As Mercury is in retrograde for a majority of this month, this card seems very on brand. The Five of Wands is a sign of conflict and infighting. Being ruled by Mercury, the hang-ups of this retrograde might feel more intense for you. Try your best to stay out of petty fights, and resolve any resentments as soon as possible.
Libra
Queen of Pentacles
Do less this January, Libra. The Queen of Pentacles is your reminder to do things that nourish you. As a material being on a material plane, do not feel any guilt over treating yourself to some luxury. Whatever luxury or pleasure means to you, invest in it.
Scorpio
Strength
If any issues arise for you at the beginning of this year, know you are strong enough to overcome them. Strength is a symbol that we have the power to change our current circumstances. There also might be a way to release or heal by using your creativity.
Sagittarius
The Lovers
The Lovers rules relationships and duality on all levels. At this time take note of how you are showing up for those who are close to you. Are there any negative qualities you are unconsciously displaying? If so, they might become mirrored back to you. In all partnerships it takes two to tango.
Capricorn
Nine of Swords
With a plethora of transits and retrogrades in your sign it makes sense your anxieties may be heightened. The Nine of Swords is a troubling card; an indicator of negative thought patterns, anxiety and pessimism. Remember that every problem has a solution, and that you are capable
of changing what troubles you.
Aquarius
The Chariot
You are at the beginning of a major upgrade Aquarius! The Chariot is taking you on a ride to all things bigger and better. If wanting to move into a new job, living situation or circumstance now is the time. The Chariot is built to handle the shakiest of paths, if you feel called to make a change do so.
Pisces
Three of Cups
Time to celebrate Pisces! There is most likely a positive social gathering entering your life at some point in this month. If this is not the case, create one! Spending time with people who love you is always a good idea.
