World (8 of Wands)
A great time to tie up any loose ends and get to those tasks you’ve been avoiding. This month will fly by, and if you’re not keeping up, there will be a price to pay. For you dreamers, this could be a potentially successful time for your visions, but you must apply action now! By the week of the 18th, what you’ve prepared will successfully come to completion and you will be rewarded! For those in relationship, this is a great time to rekindle the passion by doing something exciting and outside the norm of routine.

Wheel of Fortune (Knight of Wands)
What started as a small inspiration is on its way to a grand vision. The new moon on the 11th is an auspicious time for taking action on your visions, remember though, the thoughts you give attention to will grow, whether or not they are positive. Be intentional! When you’re motivated by fear, you’re reactions are sloppy and all too often lead to regrets. Channel your feelings into productive behavior that supports you. Most importantly, take this time to explore exciting ideas and experiences. From this a new phase of life and a new image of yourself will emerge.

Strength (7 of Cups)
The challenges you will encounter this month would best be managed through the flexibility of your character rather than by the illusion of control. Move with the tides, not against them, and you will find your natural flow. An enduring situation may result in a seemly undesirable situation, but rather than avoid it, imagine how you can re-create it in a better light. The goal is to transform your problems into solutions through compassion, not control. Around the 22nd, an unexpected romance will likely sweep you away. Have fun, but don’t get too caught up – it’s only temporary.

Hanged Man (10 of Pentacles)
A pending financial or family matter is likely to cause great frustration and strain. Your patience will be tested as there’s really not much you can do initially to force a solution. Step back from the situation and you’ll discover an option you didn’t know was available. When it seems like there’s no hope for change, you begin to realize how much you yourself are that change. There won’t be much action on the home front for those dealing with domestic or real estate issues, but don’t get discouraged: around the 11th an unexpected opportunity will arise.

Emperor (5 of Cups)
You know more than anyone about the responsibility of power and what to do when faced with a challenge. Keeping this in mind, stay flexible at this time or you may inadvertently hurt someone close to you. Beneath the veneer of strength is someone who wants respect, so don’t get triggered by a power play. Instead, be an example to those around you, even if you’re enmeshed in a troublesome pattern. Composure is the key this month – be sure to maintain yours, come what may. Around the 3rd an important lesson, and likely a new acquaintance, will emerge.

Devil (8 of Pentacles)
It has been said that “mistakes are the portals of discovery.” And if you avoid these mistakes, you’ll lose your opportunity for growth. There may be some severe challenges this month that require careful clean-up. Don’t let worry cloud your judgment. Something you recently overlooked may result in unexpected consequences. Be sure to deal with this immediately because the results could benefit you in ways you never imagined. The 4th offers you an experience to rectify an old issue. Whether this is situational or otherwise, if you act from a place of integrity, you’ll release a lot of pent-up stress.

Magician (2 of Swords)
Your hard work has paid off and you’ll receive recognition and rewards. A vision you’ve been holding is ready to execute; use your skills wisely. You have more charisma and confidence than ever before and it is important to strut your stuff. For those working on personal goals and self-improvement, this is your moment of glory as insights fall from the sky like golden rain. For you pessimistic types, let this month show you the endless possibilities that exist when you believe in your own capabilities. The 13th is a magical day on which you’ll be surrounded by meaningful signs.

Judgment (Queen of Pentacles)
Because of your strong emotions, the ability to look at a situation clearly and objectively doesn’t always come naturally to you. Those feelings are responsible for your beliefs, and currently need to be challenged. Your current job situation may not be providing you the type of fulfillment you desire, but the security keeps you attached. Be honest about your intentions and remain confident that you will find a well-paying job that you love. The problems you are experiencing are because of your control issues than you realize. You must be willing to acknowledge the part you play in creating your problems before you can solve them.

High Priestess (King of Cups)
This month you are more attuned than usual to the mysterious impulses of the unseen world. At this time there is new information emerging, although at first it may confuse or even scare you, remain open to what you feel. It is imperative to pay attention to the messages if you are to understand their meaning. To do so you must follow your intuition and pay attention to the signs. Look beyond what is evident and sense your way through circumstances. A person of great intrigue will enter your life around the 7th; stay grounded or you’ll easily be swept away.

Death (10 of Wands)
The sun has set on some area of your life. In letting go of this scene, you’ll release tension and some of the negative thought patterns attached. Often, endings are mistaken as a loss of something; yet, in the sheer experience alone, a new perspective can be gained and you forever changed. If you can detach from your expectations long enough, the bigger picture is always visible. The weekend of the 22nd is a time for goodbyes. Be gracious and remember that it is only when you try to control the flow of life that pain is inescapable.

Hermit (6 of Pentacles)
In the deepest recess of your soul there is the effervescent light of wisdom, and, through the many trials and tribulations encountered, you develop a deeper understanding of this knowledge. Situations that seem unfair are simply out of balance with your understanding of this wisdom. Before pointing the finger or bending over backwards, determine what is most appropriate for you. Be honest with what you are giving in relation to what you are receiving; it may be time to step it up or cut it out. Your actions will fall under scrutiny around the 24th, so don’t be afraid to speak your truth.

Chariot (King of Wands)
Your brilliance shines through this month as you overcome a pending issue. It’s not the success, per se, that’s noteworthy, but rather how you handle yourself in the face of conflict. A disciplined and deliberate approach is best right now. Choose a sensible course of action and follow through. There’s really nothing hard about this, but your fears may try to convince you otherwise. Don’t hesitate when a risky opportunity is presented the first week of the month or it will be given away. Also, be extra patient while driving since there’s a propensity towards accidents.
