Tarotscopes are cast using a combination of astrology and tarot cards. Each month I will pull a fresh card for every sign of the zodiac to see what influences are in the stars for your love life. To get even more out of your tarotscope, read your moon sign and rising sign to get a better grasp on what you need to know. If you are born on the cusp, read the sign near you as well. You can never be armed with too much information to travel down the baffling path of relationships! For example, I was born on January 23, so I read Aquarius and Capricorn. My moon sign is Virgo and my rising sign is Leo so I read those signs as well. Your moon sign is your feminine side and the side you become more like as you pass through middle age. Your rising sign is your public face, the mask you wear before people get to know you. You can have an astrology chart cast at astrology.net or astroadvice.com.

Here's April:

At exactly 12:40 pm on Thursday April 13th -- the same night that Passover begins -- the moon will be full. And the full moon of April, called the Wind or Seed Moon, represents fertility. Not only that, but on Friday April 14 (at 1:08 am) the moon enters sensuous Scorpio for a couple of days, which means you're likely to feel the effects of the Fertility Moon even more! The effects of these two occurrences can carry through the entire month. This is time of sexual awakening and you may find that everyone around you is looking for love. (You may also find yourself being more secretive.) The new moon comes in on Thursday April 27. Finish up that spring-cleaning. You may have occasion to be glad you took the time to organize your love nest.

Aries: Six of SwordsIt’s time to pull up anchor and shift gears. Sometimes in order to do what’s best for ourselves we have to make a sacrifice. You may come to realize that you are in a relationship that just isn’t working for you. Can you fix it with a more open mind and an attitude adjustment? Or do you need to call it quits and walk away? A rocky period you have just been through should be smoothing out. Try to be fair in how you assess situations and find the right balance to keep things running on an even keel.

Taurus: Seven of Swords
There is an air of secrecy around you this month. Be on your guard as someone may be trying to sneak around behind your back. Or perhaps it is you doing the sneaking. There are vibrations of infidelity so if you aren’t playing fair chances are you are going to get caught. Pay attention to the little details. There may be some miscommunication. Important papers may be lost or misfiled. You may find yourself in an adulterous relationship or someone you are involved with may be seeing someone behind your back.

Gemini: Death
The death card means transformation. This is time for a thorough spring-cleaning. Time to clean up your act or you’re going to crash and burn. If you are in a toxic relationship, now is the time to move on. If you’re single, you may find yourself in a few situations where you have an opportunity to meet new people. Put on your best face and move forward. Remember the habits you had that didn’t work for you and put them aside.

Cancer: The World
You have the world at your feet but you have to get out in the world first to see it. This is a time of freedom. You may go on a trip or even a cruise. You may meet someone on a trip. You may find closure in a few aspects of your life. If you are trying to leave a relationship, you will finally be able to clean up a few loose ends. Change is in the air and it should be for the better if you use the knowledge you have gathered on your life journey so far.


Leo: Six of Wands
You are victorious in love and war. Don’t get too cocky though or you may find everything comes crashing down. Remember how you got to your coveted position and the friends that got you there. You may find yourself hanging out with important people and even celebrities. There is a lot of sexual energy emanating from you and people are drawn to your charisma. You may find you have quite a few dates. There may be that special person that catches your eye. Let that person know that you are interested.

Virgo: Strength
The springtime brings out your animal instincts. The air is full of delicious smells and you are in hunting mode. You search for ways to get what you want. This might include using your keen logic and caustic charm to manipulate events in your favor. You may find yourself with an inescapable urge to fulfill carnal pleasures. If you are a woman, you need to take control in a relationship or get yourself in the game if you have been lying low. If you are a man, you may be tamed by a strong woman in your life. Let her have her way and you may reap great rewards in the bedroom.

Libra: Five of Pentacles
Don’t get discouraged if things aren’t going as smoothly as you hoped this month. You aren’t as alone as you think. There may be emptiness in your heart but this is only temporary. A relationship may be making you feel unsure about yourself. Try to see both sides of the equation. You have friends around that will help you or at least listen. You may experience financial difficulty during this time so try to prepare for that rainy day. Look around you and enjoy the world bustling around you. Change always brings new and exciting things.

Scorpio: The Sun
This is a great time for you. Life is a roller coaster and you’ll be riding those hills with abandon. The seed for something is planted for blossom in August. You may be feeling childlike. Be sure you don’t get downright immature. Live your life with an eye towards adventure. Indulge your playful side. You may be dealing with someone who is acting immature. Children might play a part in some decisions. If you are single, you may meet someone new and enjoy that thrill of the first few dates. If you are with someone, this should be a fun time as long as you both remember you’re adults.

Sagittarius: Ace of PentaclesOpportunity is coming your way. You may receive a bonus or inherit some money. A job offer may finally come if you’ve been actively looking. If you are in a relationship, you may receive a gift or even an engagement ring. If you are single, someone new is entering your life. This potential mate is steadfast and grounded. A refreshing change from some of your more whirlwind relationships may get you focused. Someone has been watching you and will finally get the nerve up to introduce himself.

Capricorn: Two of Cups
Get out of the house and go to parties. Try dating services such as Internet dating and speed dating. The more people you meet, the more you build the chance that you will find someone who is well suited for you. At one of your schmoozefests, you will meet someone of like mind. You share many similar life experiences and understand each other. This could be the beginning of a wonderful friendship that could blossom into romance. Your wit and charm will captivate this potential suitor.

Aquarius: Seven of Swords
Something doesn’t feel quite right. You logically analyze the situation but it’s hard to figure out where your discomfort lies. Someone is out to get you and you don’t know who or why. You may even be sabotaging yourself so check your motives before you act. If you are in a relationship, one of you may be fooling around. The person may not have acted on it yet, but the potential is there so be extra giving to your lover. If you are single, be certain that dates are who they say they are. You may find yourself entangled with a married person and chances are you’re going to get caught.

Pisces: Ten of Wands
The weight of the world is on your shoulders. Your compassionate nature has led you into deep water. Everyone comes to you with his or her problems and the weight of it all is bogging you down. Learn to say no. Sometimes your generosity has you doing so many favors that they are building into big deals. If at all possible, delegate. If you are in a relationship, you may find you are doing most of the work during this time. If you are single, you may be so overwhelmed by life that you find it hard to gather the energy to meet new people.

Aries March 21 - April 19
You will mistakenly bring your enemies list instead of your grocery list to the supermarket this week, resulting in the purchase of a bottle of Paul Newman's ranch dressing, a box of Uncle Ben's Minute Rice, and artichokes.

Taurus April 20 - May 20
A disastrous pattern error will result this week in a fashionable dress you are finally able to fit into.

Gemini May 21 - June 21
Your reputation as a great conversationalist will be challenged this week, when you steer a discussion momentarily outside of the DC/Marvel universes.

Cancer June 22 - July 22
While at first it may have seemed like a pleasant, carefree way to pass the time, you'll be brought to your knees by next week's word jumble.

Leo July 23 - August 22
It could just be a coincidence, but you're starting to suspect there's more to your local Barnes & Noble's decision to move its Gay/Lesbian section next to its Self-Help section.

Virgo August 23 - September 22
You will succeed beyond your wildest expectations this week, when you win a pie-eating contest and then, minutes later, take first place in a pie-vomiting contest.

Libra September 23 - October 23
Long, gray beards have for centuries been linked to wisdom and shrewdness. Sadly, you get yours caught in the fax machine far too often for that to be the case.

Scorpio October 24 - November 21
Sure, it's disappointing, even heartbreaking, but if you look at it another way, everybody won that child-custody battle.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21
What begins as an innocent, civilized debate over who has the sharpest butterfly knife will quickly turn heated this week, ending minutes later in unforeseen tragedy.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19
You've long known the guys at NASA have a tendency to pull pranks, but you'll still agree to check on a supposedly broken wind tunnel next week.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18
After politely refusing to join the mile-high club, the three-quarter-mile-high club, and the half-mile-high club, you will finally acquiesce, and join the 322-feet-high club during next Monday's flight.

Pisces February 19 - March 20
You've experienced the convenience of the "copy" keyboard shortcut for years now, but it'll really start paying off after you discover the "paste" keyboard shortcut this week

Leo: Six of Wands

Six of Wands? Does that beat the Queen of Spades?

I'm in for a dime.

Six of Wands? Does that beat the Queen of Spades?

I'm in for a dime.

I'm in for a dollar. And the answer is no (replacing spades with it's equivalent, swords.. wonder why spades isn't used anymore?). Queens trump numbers. Except it's all symbolism, and nothing out trumps anything else, realistically, as they are all equal, right? placement matters, the card itself doesn't?

I don't know. Any tarot enthusiasts/pagans out there?

Every card listed in the Minor Arcana (courtesy of BewitchingWays.com)

The Queen of Swords is the great warrior queen. She is ready for battle, yet is combined with femininity and creative intelligence. An independent career woman with her own ideals and values. She is sharp and quick witted and intensely perceptive. She usually outwits her opponents. She believes knowledge is power. Linked with air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius).

You know how to cut through extraneous information to get to the heart of the matter. You can be outspoken and have a sharp tongue. You can also be vindictive at times. You are secretive and can detect this in others. You may have to defend your position and fight for what is yours.

She may signify a widow or a woman of sadness. One who has known great happiness and lost it. It can be a card of mourning.

Reverse: Narrow-mindedness, maliciousness, bigotry, deceit, vengeful, prudish. A treacherous enemy. An ill-tempered person. A vengeful woman who plots but lacks the skill to bring about her devious plan. An enemy.

The Six of Wands represents the seeker achieves recognition for his or her work. It also implies good career prospects and a healthy dose of self-esteem. Just make sure your high self-esteem and that recognition doesn't over-inflate your ego.

This is a victory card. A completion of a task, project or business venture. You have overcome obstacles. In spite of problems or delays, you win. Success through hard work and careful planning brings great satisfaction.

Reverse - Apprehension. Worrying over other's agendas. Setbacks. Unrecognized efforts. Indefinite delay. Fear.

In other news, can't find which card is traditionally the worst card to draw, up or down. I thought it was 9 of swords, but apparently not.

Your Tarot For April 7, 2006
Seven Of Cups

The Suit of Cups is governed by the element of Water and and so is connected with the emotions and the full range of passions, from angst to zeal, that the human heart is capable of showing. They reflect the emotional and love relationships that so dominate our everyday lives and indicate our gains and losses therein. The suit of Cups can also represent our successes or failures on a personal level.
The cups also signify the intuition and psychic abilities that are present within all of us, but not that we necessarily recognise them at the time.
The season pertaining to the suit of Cups is Autumn and its direction is West..
The Astrological signs that come within the waters of the cups are the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

INTERPRETATION:
Astrological association: Scorpio
Planetary influence: Venus
Illusion and imaginary solutions. Things that are not quite what they seem, or that are actually without substance. False hopes and the receiving of empty promises are also indicated here, as is the confusion that accompanies them.

well, that bites. hope y'all have better random draws.
