Tarot Reflections
January 2016

By Tabitha Chamberlain

Aries

 4 Emperor/7 Chariot—
This is going to a month to gain forward movement and goal setting, even the most non-realistic ones should have some consideration. Pursuing the ones that you know you need to complete, but also the ones that is going to feed your soul as well. It’s the best time for you to get moving! However, Aries don’t jump in either. You have time.

Taurus

7 of Cups/5 of Pentacles—

It’s going to be a rough month as it seems all you are doing is going back and forth in your thinking. It’s difficult to make a decision or to stick with it. Don’t blame anyone, as sometimes it just happens. Choices seems to be your biggest struggle this month. Keep in mind that you are the one that makes the final decisions, so don’t blame anyone. Also don’t push anyone that’s trying to help you.

Gemini

9 of Pentacles/5 of Wands –
Raise about your usual standards, know that sometimes some time alone is just as important as being surrounded by people. Some gatherings these month may seem more like a battle ground than an actual party/gathering. Focus more on self and developing those things that you feel you need to work on instead of fighting with others.

Cancer

13 Death/21 World -

Major events are turning around for you this month. Leave behind the things that are no longer serving you to make room for those things that enrich your life. Cutting the ties is important as it makes room for things to grow and develop. The World is starting to open up for you, offering some opportunities that you have been waiting for. Take them!

Leo

9 of Cups/10 Wheel of Fortune -

 As the new year rolls in, a new you is coming in along with it. Leo's always love a good party, even better when that party is for them. And Lady Luck seems to be shining her light towards you this month, throwing her arms wide open for you. Celebrate both yourself and your life.

Virgo

Knight of Cups/6 Lovers – 

Love seems to be fluttering around Virgo. Your natural caution is slowly being ebbed away but the emotions that are creepy in. While you may be skilled at keeping them at bay it isn’t going to work this month. Allow for the love that is edging up closer to you to be allowed in, either romantic love or self-love.

Libra

Ace of Swords/8 of Swords -

Double Air in an Air sign, be careful not to overthink or analyze things. As it will start to trap yourself in your own circular thinking. Libra's are great for clarity in thinking, but they also have a tendency for fairness. Allowing that to outrank what is best for them.

Scorpio

Page of Swords/Page of Pentacles -

No it doesn’t mean threesome (it’s a Scorpio joke), but keep these two young ladies in mind as this month develops though. One shows herself openly, the other is hidden. These two ladies are going to help you define the rest of your month. It seems as if they are going to help define the rest of your year if you are listening to what they are saying to you.

Sagittarius 

5 Hierophant/Knight of Wands— 

A life of a mentor is as much for himself as it is for his student, as he will learn just as much teaching as he did learning. Teaching and educating those around you seems to be the theme of this month for you. Seek out those that want to learn or seek out the person you wish to learn from.

Capricorn

2 of Wands/3 of Cups –
You are being guided to make some decisions in life. A few great opportunities seem to being offered up to you. These offers need to be weighed carefully to see what best fits your own life and needs. However, they will make for a good time and great friends to help you celebrate and create the life you’re looking for.

Aquarius

19 Sun/5 of Cups – There is a conflict for you this month, which is at odds with your normal happy out look on life. It is being clouded by things that are not necessarily in your control. Focus more on the good surrounding you as there’s always a silver lining at the end. Let the Sun warm you.

Pisces

4 of Cups/4 of Pentacles --- At first glance it seems to be a month of “blahs” for you, but on a closer look is it possible that it’s telling you to indulge that love you have of the mysterious anything from the Occult to stage magic. It is a secret that most of you prefer not to talk about too closely, but doesn’t mean you can't search it out for your own knowledge.
