Tarot - On the cards

Chennai

Out of the seven Archangels, we have covered most and only two are left – this week, we focus on Archangel Gabriel who like Michael and Raphael, has a festival day, September 29th. His name derives from Hebrew and means ‘Power of God’ or ‘God is Mighty’. In the Biblical tradition,
he was considered to be one of the angels closest to the throne of God. He is also considered as the Angel of Death, while for the Muslims he is one of the chief Messengers of God and the angel who
revealed the Koran to Muhammad. In the Christian tradition, Gabriel is particularly remembered as a messenger. He is said to have revealed the birth of John the Baptist to Zechariah as he appeared in a
dream to Joseph. Gabriel is considered to be the protector of those who works in communications, postmen, ambassadors, journalists and couriers. One also calls upon this archangel for love, clear vision, strength and inspiration. He is particularly nurturing of children and their future.


Aries
20 MARCH – 20 APRIL

While you debate within yourself about where you want to put your money into there will be some tense moments. You could feel frustrated, insecure and have sleepless nights. The Two of Pentacles shows that you will be indecisive when it comes to using the available resources with you. While the Nine of Swords shows how this could cause you some anxious moments. Both of which are not
really necessary. Take stock, priorities and ensure you follow through with the plan. The Judgement card comes to remind you that you will need to practice more and more gratitude for the things that are there and that you have resources that you can use, unlike many others who don’t have that. Keeping a gratitude journal can help manifest more abundance into your life and you will see how things work in your favour. Those born under this sign should watch out for cough and cold, for men there could be some prostrate issues.


TAURUS
20 APRIL – 21 MAY

A Taurean is aware that he/she is very ambitious. Would like to get out there and achieve name and
fame. But the problem is that most of them want it their way. And are likely to refuse to look at what is being offered or what comes their way. The Nine of Wands indicates the ambition part while the Four of Cups shows the reluctance to take what is being given and offered. Sometimes the best things are what is right under our noses. The Four of Pentacles shows the secrecy behind money matters and you are not in any mood to share what you have or what you plan to do with it. And this could also include family members who sometimes have the right to know where they stand when it comes to finances. Those born under this sign need to watch out for the following: head and related issues; careless medication or incorrect medication; and stress which can get the better of you.

GEMINI
21 MAY – 21 JUNE

The Eight of Pentacles shows the preoccupation with work and the financial rewards that can accrue. You are diligent and work towards making strides in your chosen field and there is a lot of emphasis on relying on the youngsters within your environment. You see them as the carriers of tradition and culture and you know that they will carry forward all the goals needed to take things to the next level.
The Knight of Cups and the Knight of Wands shows this element and this augurs very well for the future of things especially when it comes to companies and organizations. This applies to personal life too when you will look to the youngsters for fresh and new energy. Things to watch out for those born under this sign: injuries while playing a sport; stiff back and neck which come from taking on too much stress.

CANCER
21 JUNE – 23 JULY

You would require strength this week. The more you keep a tight grip over your emotions and reactions to people the better it will be for you to deal with various things. And that is the card that has come for most of you. That said, it is also a week where you are on top of things especially if you are a
woman because it shows that there are much creativity and enterprise that will pave the way for
leadership, talent being made evident and also for being the nurturing person that you are. The Empress brings with her new beginnings. However, while this is a good thing the pressure of being on top and mothering everyone will take a toll as the Ten of Swords indicate. You
will feel hemmed in, pinned down and rather troubled by the demands of everyone. Things to watch out health wise: all kinds of allergies and pregnancy-related issues.

LEO
23 JULY – 23 AUGUST

For many Leos, this is a good week financially. So any worries or concerns about it are not warranted. You will need to stop thinking from a place of want and shift to thinking from a place of abundance. The Five of Pentacles is indicative of that. Also because the ten of pentacles has shown up which means that there is adequate resources available with you right now and it is an extremely good place that you are in. It also shows some kind of largess that is likely to come your way either through some kind of inheritance or unexpected monies from some source. The World card shows that right now things are all in place and it is not much you can ask of the universe. There is some kind of fulfillment that is part of your life now. Things to watch out for in terms of health are colds, flu and issues with the legs.

VIRGO
23 AUGUST – 23 SEPTEMBER

The week ahead is one of education and knowledge. It could also be life lessons that you will learn. You might know it in theory, but you will have to convert all that to wisdom so that you are able to deal with life in a proper manner. The High Priestess shows that there is a connection with learning things, and this could cover several aspects of your life. The Emperor shows support and guidance of someone much older and stronger who will help you navigate through things. None of all this however will help you feel better because all you want is to move away from all this and be hidden and invisible. The Seven of Swords brings a kind of silence to a chattering mind and will want to make you run away from most things. Things to watch out for in terms of health: you will feel very anti-social and
hence some sort of personality disorders.

LIBRA
23 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER

You do feel a bit lonely; a bit alone and isolated too. The Five of Cups shows how you are surrounded
by people but yet you feel you stand alone. Try to look at the good things around you and you will feel
a lot better. Being in a crowd is not the answer. Look at the goodness you are surrounded by. That should help. The Ace of Pentacles brings tremendous success when it comes to your work. You will be flooded with good work. The problem then will be of choice not the lack of it. You will be hard-pressed to refuse good ones too because you simply won’t be able to do it all. So that Two of Swords shows this wavering between what you want to do. What you need to watch out for when
it comes to health: low body temperatures and chills, hearing troubles and eyesight issues.


SCORPIO
23 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER

If you have been feeling at odds with yourself then this is something that will soon pass. The Five of Swords shows differences of opinions, people passing judgments and also about trying to prove your superiority when it comes to knowledge and work where you clearly know a whole lot more than
those who surround you. But how do you prove yourself here? You will soon get an opportunity to do so with the ace of cups coming up signifying many avenues where your talents and skills will be admired and applauded. You manage to rise above it all and prove that there is no one better than you when it comes to your field of competence. That said, you will be invested in youngsters in the family especially males and those with who you interact and work with. Things to watch out when it comes to health: infections that are viral, fever that could affect the brain.

SAGITTARIUS
22 NOVEMBER – 22 DECEMBER

Career is going well and the trend will continue. The Ace of Wands assures that when it comes to work you are on a roll. New avenues, opportunities and other deserving things will come your way. They
will come, but will you be able to take them on? That is the challenge you will face. The Eight of
Swords will see you tied up in knots and mostly it is all self-inflicted. You don’t even realise that it is
you who is keeping yourself bound. All you need to do is to see properly and disengage with negativity
and being restricted when it comes to good actions. The Queen of Swords suggests support and guidance of a powerful female energy who will watch out for you. Health wise watch out for the following: low and weak libido; mental anguish and disturbances.

CAPRICORN
22 DECEMBER – 20 JANUARY

Your ambitions are consuming you and neither are you willing to let go of your ideas nor are you
in a position to get them all going. The Eight of Wands suggests that you have multiple interests
and that makes you frustrated and angry that you are not able to do all of them. That is where Temperance comes into play to suggest that you keep your emotions and feelings in check and your head above water and you can possibly do all of it in good time, one by one. The Temperance card suggests that you are dealing with a range of emotions and this will cloud your thinking. The Wheel of Fortune shows that at the end you will do all that you set your mind to. Healthwise do look out for the
following: being cut or being pierced by sharp objects, heat related boils and acne, spinal issues and back pain.

AQUARIUS
20 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY

You are in a fighting mood ready to demolish anyone who crossed paths and in the way of you getting what you desire. The Four of Swords shows this aggressive and hostile side of you where you will not take things lying down. However, Justice card comes to show that you are right about most things
so sometimes this attitude could be justified. Toughness is needed but being nasty is not. So if you can balance these then the outcome will definitely be in your favour. The Three of Wands suggests the longing to travel and move out of your current zone. It also shows that you look to the future for better times. It also shows that when it comes to working you are an important pillar. Health wise take
care of the issues: tiredness, fatigue and sleep issues.

PISCES
18 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH

Looking ahead you are setting your sights on distant lands for new opportunities. The Two of Wands shows that right now you have all the wherewithal to actualize all that you desire and the time now is right for expansion and growth. It also indicates overseas business and making presence felt in other places. The Three of Swords shows that you will need to think clearly and with great clarity if you want to put this opportunity into use. The Chariot brings cheer which supports and encourages you to go into new areas and take your expertise to many others in the world. Health wise take care of the following areas: eye issues, heart and chest pains, issues with legs.
