Psychic Readings
Astrology Forecast August 2 – 8, 2021
This week will produce more talk than action as it kicks off under a socially-oriented Gemini Moon. Sharing ideas, spouting opinions, and a higher than usual volume of Google searches and YouTube watching will the themes for today and tomorrow, as we strive to learn something new or get our ideas confirmed.
The Leo Sun opposition with Saturn in Aquarius may cause professional problems today. If you feel unsure about a work or business decision be careful not to overreact with fake confidence. If you need advice, reach out to your dad or mentor, or a father-figure in you life.
Tomorrow will be a good time to ask someone on a date or reach out to a current love interest, as Venus in Virgo trine Uranus in Taurus will get us in the mood for love and romance.
We’ll be operating in slow motion as the Moon dances through Cancer Wednesday through Friday, where the most we’ll be able to accomplish might be a good house cleaning or redecorating project. We’ll need to focus on balance, as a tendency to people-please or give away something we need may tend to prevail.
So, to use this energy more wisely, it’s a great time to give to yourself and to go with the flow, rather than worrying about what you ‘should be doing,’ or how to get to chores and obligations. There will be plenty of time for that when the Moon moves into Leo on Saturday and revives our energy and focus.
Sunday’s Leo New Moon promises that we’re ready to move into new ventures, projects, and cycles of attainment over the next two weeks, so get ready to rock and roll.
August 2021 Astrology Forecast
August 2021 will be easier to navigate compared to June and July. Fire energy embodies the first half of this month, giving us the motivation and desire to make things happen.
We start the month off with an energetic New Moon in Leo next week on August 8th. New moons represent fresh beginnings and offer wonderful opportunity for manifesting, letting go of bad habits, or starting a new routine.
Leo is associated with the heart and the inner child and gives us the courage to rise above challenging circumstances. If you have been feeling down, or a victim of injustice, this new moon will help you reclaim your power and take a stand, if necessary.
On August 11th the planet of communication, Mercury, will move into Virgo for about 20 days. Our conversations with others will be practical, down to earth, and focused. This will be an optimal time to schedule that appointment with your health, wellness, or energy healing provider to address any concerns you may have.
Venus the planet of love, enters into Libra on August 16th and will assist us in creating a sense of balance in our relationships. If you have been giving too much of yourself, this transit will encourage you to pay attention to your own needs and cultivate a stronger sense self-love.
A Full Moon in Aquarius occurs on August 22nd and brings situations to a culmination. This moon cycle is favorable for removing and releasing anything that doesn’t serve your highest good. Since it’s in the sign of Aquarius, think about your purpose, what makes you unique and how you can help to create a better world.
The Sun transits into Virgo on the same day as the full moon. This earthly energy will help us get grounded, adopt a more logical approach, and set healthier boundaries. Getting organized, tidying up our homes, and paying attention to the details is the best way to work with Virgo.
Astrology Forecast July 26 – August 1, 2021
If you are single, you can probably take things easy today, as the Pisces Moon calls us to reflect, remember and relax. However, the Moon’s opposition to Venus in Virgo may give rise to intense emotion and frustrated passion that may leave the rest of us feeling restless or discontented in our long-term relationships and marriages. Problems may be forthcoming with partners that can upset our domestic bliss.
Mercury will enter Leo tomorrow, urging our hearts and minds forge ahead into new enterprises over the next few weeks as it energizes and inspires us! The Pisces Moon sextile with Uranus in Taurus will further increase our ability to focus our attention and be more persuasive and determined in our dealings with others.
Things heat up even more Wednesday through Thursday as the Moon marches through Aries and Jupiter, that has gone retrograde since June 20, now backtracks into Aquarius. This can generate a sense of rebellion or frustration, and we’ll need to be careful when anger or aggressiveness rises up. Maintaining composure is of utmost importance until this energy passes.
Luckily, Mars will move into Virgo late Thursday and restore a sense of grounding and decorum to our words and actions. Once Mars, the planet of action, gets settled in Virgo, we’ll have two months of organized and detailed focus, which will give us the power to manifest on a high level.
The ideal aspect of an Aries Moon sextile Jupiter in Aquarius will end the work week on a perfect, optimistic note with financial and social success, and high spirits. With the Moon moving through Taurus over the weekend, we are likely to fill the weekend with productive movement and fun-filled activities. Just try to maintain a good balance: getting your chores done before running out to play is always a good idea.
Astrology Forecast July 19 – 25, 2021
We are certainly in for a busy parade of astrological events this week! Venus moves into Virgo on Wednesday, the Sun enters Leo on Thursday, and the Moon waxes full in Aquarius on Friday. So, basically, this week is a triple-header!
However, before the shifts occur later this week, we’ll need to embrace the purpose-filled energy of today’s Scorpio Moon, attending to loose ends and unfinished business that may have been on the back burner for the last few weeks. It is important that we do this in order to to clear a space for new energies to come in later this week.
So, we could end up working late today, or find ourselves having to delegate to get everything on our to-do list completed. But be patient and courteous with coworkers and employees, because the Scorpio Moon square Mars in Leo can cause us to us be hurried, irritable, and difficult to please.
Tomorrow’s Sagittarius Moon will cast a more light-hearted, spirited energy, making harmony and fun an underlying theme as we begin to move forward. Venus will also move out of fanciful Leo and into more grounded Virgo tomorrow, reminding us to be more altruistic and humanitarian in our attitude, and less self-focused for the next few weeks.
It will be easy to tell when the Sun moves into Leo on Thursday, as we begin to move into the final days of the season and start to sense a higher energy and purpose to our movements. For the next four weeks, a heart-centered tone will move us forward, evoking our generous sides and promoting greater self-love and self-care.
Friday’s Aquarius Full Moon arrives at the perfect time, as it promotes release and letting go of any ideas or mindsets that are holding us back. If we embrace this process and shift our thinking, it will be much easier to move into August with renewed hope, passion, and purpose.
The Moon in Aquarius will also make this a great weekend for fun, entertainment and social activities, so plan something crazy and exciting for Saturday!
Astrology Forecast July 12 – 18, 2021
Today’s Leo Moon will fill us with high spirits and a carefree attitude. The Moon’s conjunction with Venus in Leo may add a sentimental streak to our mood, while the conjunction with Mars in Leo adds some passion to the mix. However, be careful not to become temperamental or give in to moodiness. The optimism and lighthearted effervescence of Mercury in Cancer trine Jupiter in Pisces will fortunately help to counteract such negativity.
Tuesday and Wednesday’s Virgo Moon will inspire us to update our wardrobes, surroundings, and electronics, as it makes organizing and refreshing things a priority.
We can’t go wrong with a two-day ‘staycation’ under Thursday and Friday’s Libra Moon, which promotes balance, aesthetic awareness, and an open-minded attitude. You are likely to feel cheerful and spontaneous. It is the perfect time to socialize (safely and responsibly) and reconnect with loved ones.
Romance will also be a priority, so it might be a good idea to move the weekend’s date night up to Thursday evening. Surprise your partner with a romantic movie night or picnic under the stars. And if you are ready to propose then the Moon sextile Venus in Leo, in the early hours of Friday morning, creates the perfect opportunity for love, commitment and marriage.
Over the weekend the Moon drifts through Scorpio, reminding us that life is short and we should enjoy it to the fullest! We can leave chores behind and indulge in our favorite pastimes, as we honor our intuition and go with the flow. Beware however the potential for ‘Sunday blues’ with the Scorpio Moon square Saturn in Aquarius, which brings with it the energy of dissatisfaction and depression.
Psychic Reading With Ordinary Playing Cards
I do psychic readings using a normal deck of playing cards. Yes, the kind you buy at your grocery store. It is is actually the original form of oracle card reading.
Cartomancy as we know it today originated back in the 14th century, when playing cards were first introduced to the world. Some historians believe it might even date back to Ancient Egypt. Using an ordinary deck of cards was actually the most popular form of cartomancy for centuries, especially in Europe from the 18th to the 20th century.
Today divination using a standard deck of playing cards has sadly become the ‘little brother’ of the Tarot. These days people find it unusual if a psychic uses a regular deck of playing cards to do readings.
To give the most accurate readings, I use a specific approach when I use the cards. First of all, I tune in with my client’s energy and I make sure that I am connected with my spirit guides.
Also, if a client has had a bad day or if they are upset, it helps a lot if they clear their mind as much as possible before we start the reading. If a client is not feeling well, I usually recommend they hold off on the reading, because their energy is too low. Reading for someone in this state usually does not yield very good results.
Before you make a phone call for your next psychic reading, take three deep breaths and let them out very slowly. If you are having a bad day, take seven deep breaths and slowly let them out. You will be very surprised how much this will relieve your tension or your stress, before you make this phone call. You will also find that your reading experience is much more enjoyable and meaningful.
Can Anyone Read The Tarot?
During this past week alone, several people from different walks of life have asked me this very question. Yes, anyone can learn, but as some of my Tarot students have shown, it’s the passion you have for Tarot that makes the difference, and that can turn someone into a reader with a difference.
Tarot readings can be used for one’s personal growth only, or for doing readings for self and others. Often individuals learn the Tarot of their own volition, paying particular attention to its imagery and symbolism, as they develop their skill with practice, practice, and more practice.
Once they feel they can trust their higher self and their spirit guides, and feel they are being directed to the symbols and imagery in Tarot, which will kick start the required information to be revealed, they will be confident to do Tarot readings.
A good teacher or mentor will always encourage a student to be guided by the way the Tarot talks to them, and not just by learning ‘parrot fashion’ the many meanings each card may have.
It is the language of symbols which helps us more easily tune into the unconscious mind, especially when there is not always time available to spend many hours doing psychic development, and going within and meditating before a reading.
Many Tarot readers work with various spreads, or layouts, to help them answer specific questions and to define events, timing, important influences and important people in the questioner’s life. Tarot helps us find clarity as to the direction in which we are headed and even helps identify blocks which may lie ahead.
I have in my collection at least fifteen Tarot decks, but one or two would suffice for most people. I just love the way talented people have been able to bring Tarot to life in their own Tarot deck design, using their own imagery, shapes and color.
