I suggest that if you know your Moon and Rising Signs (Ascendant / ASC) to read those Imagination Tools, too. I find them to be most helpful in composing a more applicable Scope-combo that more resonantly reflects your (astro) personality.
I appreciate your interest in my weekly TarotScope column here, though once AREA 52 was released, I transitioned this column over to express Tarot Imagination Tools for each sign each week from Tarot in the Land of Mystereum‘s 192-page Imagination Primer companion book.
Daily TarotScopes were available in my book AREA 52 ~ 2014 edition: 52 weeks of Tarot day by day. There were weekly themed summaries for each week and a Daily TarotScope for each day of the year. 365 + 52. AREA 52 ~ 2014 edition: 52 weeks of Tarot day by day. No longer available.

Pisces, “I give you the gift to notice and develop your own natural sense of order. Feel the presence of your imagination as an idea solar system. Each idea can orbit like a planet or moon.

Feel the value of where you place your ideas.”
~ Imagination Tool from the Land of Mystereum Imagination Primer, page 27.

Your Imagination Toolbox as Your Wheel is for everything that keeps your perspective clear and fresh. Enjoy the Imagination Toolbox of Your Wheel.”
Cancer, “I gift you a tool to birth your discoveries using The Moon, The Star, The Sun, The Chariot, Strength, Judgment, and The 10 of Wands. May you bring new energies from deep and dark places into the light of Your Royal Court! May your magical renewal awake!”
~ Imagination Tool from the Land of Mystereum Imagination Primer, page 144.
intuition, forming, giving form to the formless, conception (to the Mag’s inception), fully grounded out-of-body experiences as a matter of course naturally
Libra, “The Land of Mystereum is for you to use with your imagination to form your ideas. Share your imaginative form with your friends here and there. Do so in ways that are right for you that shine forth your best qualities. Be considerate of others’ light. May all your lights form well together and shine like stars.”

eye on the prize, head in the clouds, dreams eclipsing action

up in the air in a positive way like moonbeams, energy across a plateau like field sports

~ Imagination Tool from the Land of Mystereum Imagination Primer, page 140.
Memory illuminating forward, inner light, perspective from experience, silent awareness

valiant feelings, honest expressions, incorporating on the move
Virgo, “I gift you a tool to trust the depth and strength of your emotions. May there be a Chariot to connect the depths of your inner world to your sky as you ride forth and replenish Your Royal Court. Fulfill Your Royal Court with the new energies you incorporate.”
~ Imagination Tool from the Land of Mystereum Imagination Primer, page 121.

Let me know
Let me know in the comments section how your Imagination Tools are allies for your week. Touch base mid-week to see how your Imagination Tools provide you more clarity with your cards. What new wisdom will you find this week with your Imagination Tools?
In general this week ~ while you swim in feelings ~ of energetic clarity ~ keep that no bullshit attitude with backup that you have. ~ Embrace the tumult of explosive situations ~ fully calm in your authority ~ to incorporate the awakenings and epiphanies of new starts encountered and incorporate them on the move. ~ If you uncover sneaky things hanging out in plain sight ~ simply raise an eyebrow and pull the allegedly bent mental twig out of your water to un-distort your thinking. Toss the trickster stick. ~ This week is one of those Master Builder with vision weeks ~ where dreamy head-in-the-clouds attitudes are necessary ~ to balance and complement the actively dynamic possibilities for better results. ~ Capitalize on those aspects this week where you are most able to be a go-getter straightaway. In short? This week naturally pick only ripe fruit. Leave things still in process alone. Your ROI will thank you.
Give it a Shot. How do YOU Turbo Read the Sequence for the Week?
How do you read the weekly cards above? Try this. Put them into a continuous, several-words-for-each sequence to Turbo Reading them into a single, short paragraph as a reading for your week. Give this a shot to get a sense all your own of what resonates in your week in the overall. Heck, pull 12 cards of your own and start from scratch. Suggestion: Don’t let writing your short phrases take more than 10 minutes, and spend another 5 composing them into one, cohesive sentence. Then, plug them into your schedule and see how they can perform as touchstones and allies of clarity through your week. Read your cards as quickly the time it takes from first seeing a cool stone on a path that catches your eye to deciding to pick it up and look at it. That’s a Turbo Reading right there.
Before Scopes…A Funny (to me) TarotScope Story from My Week for You
HelLO you rockin’ readers out there! SaWEET Big Ole Rockin’ Thanks for stopping by! Before we get into your Scopes this week, I thought you might get a kick out of an exchange I had this week… or rather, someone attempted to mental-mug me “attacking” me about my TarotScopes this week. They’ll be out of the mental hospital after recovering. lol NOT. Interestingly enough, my Scopes struck a nerve with a good friend of mine who then attempted to Scope-cross-check me into the Blue Line wall out of the blue with:
Q: JORdan. What THE HELL now do these Scopes have to do with Astrology and Horoscopes?!!” Really now! Seriously. (amazing how when people are foolishly angry they can be so self-righteous…. Heck, Carnies might be jealous of their appearance). Jordan! It’s less than arbitrary that these cards you draw each week and what you write about them has ANYTHING to do with Astrology or Horoscopes! Nothing! Nada! Zilch!
A: (after I stopped howling laughing and wiped the tears from my eyes, and of course noticing him looking a little puzzled).
Q: Oh shit, Jordan. Not THAT that look.
A: Yup, that look. Brace yourself. Great point you have there. Except for one, tiny little thing… You’re just flat wrong. Are you gonna skim the surface with those reactionary blind spots of your assumptions all your life? You see, my TarotScopes…Let me see. 1st, I don’t see the word Astrology or Horoscope mentioned anywhere in “TarotScopes” except for in the tags sometimes… not anywhere in the content. Do you? Maybe I’m missing it?
Q: Well… now that you mention it. No.
A: Ok, well, I did just mention it. So, how ’bout we give you a bye on that one, and call that one covered? Next, though. 2nd, they don’t have anything to do with Astrology. Nothing. At all. Nada. Zilch. Never have. I read for the signs each week. Always have. I do a weekly Tarot reading for each sign like they are my client… pretty obvious that that’s usually what Readers do doncha think? Read for people? The astro signs line up in my Waiting Room, and one by one I give them a short reading for their week so people born under each sign can benefit. The astro signs are simply 12 weekly clients that tend to all wanna schedule on Saturday to go over the coming week. Their names just happen to be the same as the Horoscope crew. I can’t do anything about that. So, I won’t try. I read for the signs themselves as people, and in the intro Turbo Reading I simply read them together like people in a room. I’d write the book “People In A Room Astrology,” though I think that’s already been done. There is no Astrology or Horoscopes here in these Scopes. There is simply Tarot Reading for planets as people each week which I then share for free. It’s a 6 of Pentacles gig. Ya know, an epic spiral of reciprocal giving and receiving kinda thing. I read for the planets, they give up the goods, and the listeners benefit. Hmmm. So, where are the Astrology and Horoscopes you were referring to?
Q: *(!’*$^*^% DAYum. Tag, I’m it, huh?
A: Nah, just be honest with my next question. Did YOU have something for lunch that isn’t sitting well right now?
Q: Umm. Well. Yes.
Q n A together: (laughter). (Conflict that never was? Resolved. Perfect foreplay for Happy Hour. lol)
The Moral of That?
The moral of that experience? There certainly doesn’t have to be one, though some of the best morals are birthed when humor and wits are present to temper an experience into a useful story. So, the moral of this one? Don’t take things personally. Keep your wits. Use your wits. Simply listen to people all the way through, powerfully and with empathy listen to them no matter how much they really deserve to be smacked in the nose or outright knocked out. And, that’s not always violent. Sometimes peoples’ actions in the overall are simply requesting the fasted statistic on a 100mph to 0 stop time. If you listen with empathy, though, and don;t takes things personally, then by the time they are through… odds are the reactionary time will have passed for you, and you’re then probably into response-land. Just lead with your humor. I get a chuckle remembering what my friend said after the above as we made out way off into the late afternoon: “What would Jesus do?”, he said smiling to get back to the all’s good kinda thing showing we’ve moved away from the situation… to which, “Well, if he was 12, he would’ve definitely just clocked your ass out of the blue right after doing the same with the money changers instead of being level-headed like me through your … uh hem… effin bullshit. Hmm, but that’s hypothetical and you deserve a real answer, Man. 😉 I think he might ask, ‘What would Billy Jack do?’ “
Best to your Scopes enhancing the ROI of your week. So, Let’s Get To ’em!
I suggest that if you know your Moon and Rising Signs (Ascendant / ASC) to read those Scopes, too. I find them to be most helpful in composing a more applicable Scope-combo that more resonantly reflects your (astro) personality.

TarotScope Allies for Your Nov 3rd to 9th 2013 Week
energetic play, letting the crown chakra flow with expert skill in play
Scorpio, While you swim in and with thickly swirling feelings this week, keep sight of the need to be playful so that they provide strong fuel for developing things rather than beginning to weigh heavy like quicksands of hardship. Relax your rant-mode this week so you don’t get sucked down the swirling vortex created by their drain. I don’t suggest to stop ranting this week if you are. What I am suggesting is to ask yourself if you have ranted long enough so that the damn engine is already started on the “this is important to me” vehicle in your life? Upshift your intensities to let them run in a higher gear and this week you may not simply find a new gear by releasing the previous one in the mundane act of not burning out your transmission. By upshifting, and rev and pop that clutch if you wanna… By upshifting you may discover a higher octave that is the natural wisdom present in the intensity of the emotions you express. Your Scorpionic depths are too deep to stuff things as you may as well drop something into a bottomless pit. You stuffing things is a recipe for “that’ll never even make it to the to-do list.” This week keep that outward flow going, though hunker down, shift that gear up one, and feel the compression of higher performance moving you forward. This week you’ll be jetting out of that tunnel and able to breathe more on the open road of your life.
Sagittarius, Use your senses energetic clarity of energetic clarity this week to love Nature and your home together this week. Bring the outside in. Bring nature into your home with a flowering plant or a wonderful souvenir from a walk or hike. And, complementing that, give of your home to Nature by moving something you cherish out to love in the garden or on the porch… heck, if you are in an apartment, dedicate a window sill, a sunny one if you have it, to Nature and the outside and populate it with a Nature Village of sorts. Of course if you have a cat or cats make sure you aren’t putting breakable heirlooms up their on the windowsill as this week the feines will be be even more attuned and interested in this Nature thing you are doing…and of course their Nature will want to populate the sill, too… probably even while you are composing your sill assemblage with that wonderful feline nose-bonking of “Whatcha doin’? Hmm? You can pet me while you… oh, you are putting that thing there, so if you insist, I’ll sit there before you can.” (Note spelling by cats this week and don’t be thrown by it — take it in stride and smile knowing you know the real feeling) Take lessons from your cats/pets and Nature this week. Forget false sense of urgency and being in a hurry this week or you yourself will be the cat jumping up and bowling a strike on your window sill as all the things fall off to the floor. Take your time this week even if it is only for several moments to settle back to discern your responses. It’s no tennis match for you this week, so when people put things back in your court, allow your Queen of Wands to return serve so to speak on your time when you can respond for results. No reacting this week… unless you want to make things all squirrelly and out of the blue receive a pre-approved Darwin Award Application in the mail. Bring Nature into your home this week and equitably exchange something inside to Nature — the outside, porch, or window sill. Bring Nature into your home this week and your own nature may reveal itself in naturally regal, Queenly, Wand-y ways.
NO BS straight-upness, shrewdness, exact statements, clear opinions
Blends in seamless communicative synchromesh, healthy and discerning, logical and fair, Ultimate Communicator allied with Justice
Capricorn, Keep that no bullshit attitude with backup this week that you have in place. Work in teams like great dancers do with clear leads that magnetically direct clear follows and then the exchange of that lead-follow baton. Dance your motions this week strongly and as easily as the ocean ebbs and flows in its massage-message to the coastline. Paying attention to dancing your motions strongly this week will both respect the power of your no bullshit attitude and at the same time keep you from getting anywhere near stuck by resorting to being to much in your head. This is no fishing line of a week that can only go out so far until it has to come back in. I bet you have the patience for neither limits nor fluff this week. Allow that no bs attitude of yours to apogee and perigee and orbit you around all the things you encounter this week with no need of tethers. If you can’t seem to concentrate or think straight around certain groups this week, take your own hint that there is no magnetism to engage your dance into even a temporary orbit. Let the planet of you keep traveling on along this week and dive into the turns and people and places where you are reverse-slingshot naturally pulled back in to engage with them. If you feel yourself with a little vertigo this week, remember how in a car wash you sometimes stomp on the brake feeling like you are uncontrollably moving forward. Take those mini-horizontal vertigo moments as hints, too, to relax and receive the attention without having to engage… like in your car in the car wash. Do be out and about as much as possible this week. Your no bullshit magnetism will do no good from your couch, and this week maybe not even very effectively from your desk. Get out and be the magnet you are this week no matter how subtle the draw. Dance your motions strongly. Your only limits this week may be self-imposed. Dance those contact-orbits into place. Things don’t take as long to develop when a Royal Couple is involved. Take a look at the Hamour fish this week and Dubai’s “From fishing to fortune” success story. Hmmm, or was that Abu Dhabi? Your no bullshit-dar will know soon enough when you get over everything feeling like a hassle and getting your bad self off the narcotics of smoking hope this week. Dance those contact and contract orbits into place. Things don’t take as long to develop when a Royal Couple is involved
Aquarius, Embrace the tumult of explosive situations this week. Grab yourself an anti-hysterical bias to go. No need to cringe or squirm. Take this week like a bomb squad would. Take this week seriously with care and attention, and no matter what the volume or intensity is, don’t flinch. Observe and discern to direct your actions in real-time as too much planning this week may just end up getting you to head over to a fave lunch spot without checking in only to find out they have moved or gone out of business. Get that anti-hysterical upgrade successfully installed before you start your week. This is going to be a week where decisive truths will be spoken, the playing field will only be what it is at each moment, and empires may sprout up for you as effortlessly for as flipping tails to heads on a dime. Nevermind your established comfort levels this week. This week is a week to play the “You Only New” card in your work and play and relationships. Make sure that across this week you are what you are and are simply not a small bird. Nevermind someone trying to pigeon-hole you. You know you wouldn’t fit there anyway, so why bother getting bent about it. “I’m not a bird” is probably enough of a response to those kinds of situations this week. Heck, maybe any week, though this one especially. Emancipate yourself from anything more than raising a single eyebrow at those kinds of things. You certainly do not need to explain yourself. Step up more into the role of leader this week even if it is only to lead yourself. Be your only Ruler. Anarchos is a great concept for you this week. The anarchy against a government version of it is really a very narrow, political application of it. Dig deeper and shine brighter. Anarchos in Latin was often a reference to God or The Divine as ” without beginning; without ruler; one without rulers.” Be your own Anarchos this week. Heck, laugh it into your name as a nickname like Bill “Anarchos” Manwithoutrulerson, though laugh it in in total seriouness. Odds are that this week won’t have an Easy Button… unless you step up and steer and install it yourself on your terms. Compromise is over-rated this week. Simply mind not being too heavy-handed. Lead with empathy rather than Tarzan Talk this week, and by the end of the week, you’ll wonder if someone hit the hyperspace button as you’ll be in a whole ‘nother place than you were starting out the week. This week just don’t forget your favorite color.
complete energies, acting in the moment, energetic astuteness
Pisces, Fully comfortable in your authority this week, attend to things one at a time directly and take the uninterrupted time each one takes. You may have to put a bin at the conference room door for everyone to place their devices in, and that’s a good analogy for your week. Everyone will be up to their old devices, and it’s your job to demand both clarity AND acting in the moment. This is a week to work closely with those whose abilities you inherently trust so you can forget the preparation parts and work directly with making things happen without a lot, or any, backing up to explain or get people up to speed. So, we have the “lose their devices” analogy to start with representing your situation as a whole. The extension of that inward into your situation this week is to view your team as a crew, each with their own, single oar or their own pair of oars, and all in the same shell. Be mindful to be aware of complete energies and efforts from all components of whatever it is you are working on this week. Make damn sure you don’t get distracted by all the strong people-pistons and hammers in the engine room so to speak strongly propelling your week along. Your job this week is to steer. Your power this week will come from how you orchestrate the support system you already use or directly put in place this week. Enjoy things as you get them done along the way this week as I’m betting in the end everyone will be pleased with the results from you staying true to steering in the direction you feel best. Every stroke counts this week. Every.Single.One. So, here’s a moment by moment mantra for your week: “Always complete, never finished. Always complete, never finished.” You’re in The Show, no Bush Leagues this week. Only your A-Team will build an A-Game for you this week. Coincidence will not be the source of your results this week. “Coinciding” does come to mind for you this week, though. Steer. Stay on course. Work your powerful limits this week. Your components coinciding? Nope. It’s more of a koan-ciding this week always complete, never finished. Steer your week. Always complete, never finished.
unfamiliar actions, strangely highlighted energies in feelings, awakening, regally emerging anew in playful ways
Aries, Straight out of the starting gates this week! Incorporate the results of awakenings and epiphanies in your new starts. Engage them and incorporate them on the move. Pausing with too great an emphasis on spiritual matters this week will stall you out by distracting you from cleanly putting your best foot forward first in each new venture, and at the opening of each meeting as your ventures progress. If you find yourself pausing with too great an emphasis on spiritual matters, or feeling a tendency to do so, nip it in the bud. Odds are it is not something to act on, but instead you giving yourself a naturally primal clue to heighten your awareness in unfamiliar places or in regard to unfamiliar feelings. Your house may be in some sort of flux. Be observant throughout the week. You may pick up on things that strike you as resonant though at the same time feel not to really apply. Note these things, though. In the coming weeks you may remember or notice them again. Then, you can revisit them to sequence and incorporate them into your current work. Have fresh eyes this week. Beginner’s Mind is a great concept to stay fresh, though this week you are no beginner. Embue the Beginner’s Mind concept this week to a point, though do so in ways where you are acutely aware that our expertise itself is opening up to the next level. Mastery isn’t an end. Mastery leads to further discovery, This week you may full-on experience how Expert Mind can be even more simple than Beginner’s Mind as you open up and focus and get in the zone. Straight out of the gates this week. Forget your every thought into each action. This is not a week of knowing, and certainly not one of explaining. In fact reasons may be downright unreasonable this week. This week the knowing is best embedded as the heartbeats that continually pulse life into your actions. Four multi-vitamins of thoughts for you this week: “Of course truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.” ~Mark Twain; “Truth is the most impure thing.” ~ Oscar Wilde; “Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” ~ C.G.Jung; “You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” ~ C.G. Jung.
sneaky, stealthy, hiding in plain sight, Shadow Hand
Taurus, You may uncover sneaky things hanging out and hiding in plain sight this week. Be mindful of your assumptions as this week there feels to be more opportunities for them to conceal things behind the blind spots of your expectations. Look at your expectations this week not as your own, but as invisi-flack in the air around you as if you are a bomber pilot. Screw taking the high road as for the time being it feels to be grid-lock-crowded with alleged self-righteousness born of poor conflict resolution skills. That’ll clear in time, though avoid it for the time being like a bad-ass cone zone through messy construction. Simply pull up and fly above your expectations this week so you can see which ones are still actual priorities and which ones can be just left there boom-pounding as distractions that will eventually take themselves out. This week, though, not your problem. Some of them may deflate or outright disappear when pushed to the back burner. This can provide an important forensic exercise for you about your process. Notice at speed in real-time with heightened judgment which priorities you still discern to be priorities versus which priorities started that way though are now simply trail heads to be shed like booster rockets on the space shuttle. This week focus on the orbits you have propelled yourself into along with those tandem orbits you have been propelled into that are complementary, are allied with your priorities. Get some telemetry in your geosynchronous rumpus this week like autopilot so you can focus on your projects, your work, while still clipping along at a stellar pace. Anything else other than getting yourself into that autopilot position of natural orbits in your ops and scheduling in your projects this week is secondary. This week is a great time to attend to the autopilot components in your ops. Checking them like a master mechanic will give you ample breathing room to focus on your work without distractions sneaking in this week.
mental refraction, distorted thoughts, taking care with yourself by moving slowly
Gemini, Your wits will serve you well this week as distorted emotions may be more the norm than the exception this week. Acclimate to the concept posed in the Argentinian film Man Facing Southeast. (I highly recommend it…maybe even as a substitute for your Scope this week 😉 ) The premise made in Man Facing Southeast is that the ones inside the loony bin, pardon me, mental asylum, are the sane ones. They are poets and artists and thinkers who are Nature incarnate and fully in touch with their passionate intensities in their own unique ways. The one on the outside leading their flocking behavior, boring lives are said to be the crazy ones with a “Patient” looking out a window musing, “whyEVER would anyone want to be so trapped?” The kicker comes when the Warden, uh hem I should say Mayor of the Asylum is queried as to how he knows when to let people out. “Ahhh, that’s the EASIEST question to answer,” he says smiling out the window. “Their art goes to shit. Means they are ready to be out there in that boring hodge-podge of a bait ball you see out there in the city. Pity. Though, they’ll be back. Once you’ve tasted life…” So, Gemini, this week practice raising an eyebrow and looking out the window knowing the brand of crazy you have is just what the doctor ordered and is delivered 24/7 from the non-Pharma pharmacy of Nature. If things feel distorted this week simply find a twig and pour a glass of water in a clear glass. Fascinate yourself with both of them. The water will be your thinking. The twig? Well, dunk the twig in the water. Uh oh, you picked up a bent twig! Oh. Wait. Watching the bent twig, pull it out of the water. Hmmm, not bent after all, and now are your thoughts not so refracted, not so distorted? Toss the twig outside without even a hint of good riddance. This week dear Gemini, forgetting is for getting. Like that twig never happened. Maybe don’t forget it. It may inform you as experience later. Though, at the very least forgive and expand. Your upping the scale by expanding will make whatever it was into a speck that easily washes away in the next rain. Forgetting can be for getting. Allow it to make more rockin’ room for the good stuff this week.
Cancer, This week is one of those Master Builder with vision weeks. And, this week, please mind your natural tendencies to grimace at the mention of intuition and herald any mention of insight. Yeah, you grimaced right there because you are comfortable in the light. Discern the semantics of those two being just some antics, though. Seems to me your crab nature is just as comfortable on wither side, here or the Other, so step-tap down your hipocrasy a notch. Heck, soften your shell a bit. Not a lot. Just enough to wriggle out of it. Find your Goldilocks place that’s just right. Ok, now that we’ve gotten you really skeptical of your Scope without going all the way to Unicorns… Look up. This week get with it quicker. Don’t rely on that damn shell so much. Don’t you talk about surfaces a lot, and that it’s the content that matters? Well… whatcha waiting for this week? This week I bet your best armor will not need to be polished. This week I bet your best armor will be the integrated one. Your health. Take care of yourself this week. Be strong with intaking what’s right for YOU in YOUR way, and of course to hell with diets! I know, you have a regimen, and that’s different. Do look to the left for a sec, though, ’cause everyone on the right is rolling their eyes and nodding yes. Heck, who needs that stuff when you know what you need? Oh right, that damn shell. Hmmm, can you store it in the garage this week? The world wants to see YOU this week, and I bet that someone you dig does, too. Your Master Building with vision this week will be more fluidly served and effective in its results when you are not checked at every turn by exoskeletal uniforms. Uh hem… preconceived contrivances of appearance. This week figure out what is extra weight. It doesn’t have to be called baggage. Simply look for extra weight this week. Find the docking clamps and release it. Each day, release the stuff n stuff and look more to your natural appearance without the mold of the shell. You can get it out of storage later. Oh, well, maybe not. You put it in the garage, though while you were just listening, we moved it to storage. This King of Pentacles. He’s a King. He doesn’t explain jack. So are you. This week, get used to that. Your presence will go beyond your spoken words this week, so build something with that. SOLD. Oh, oops. Pardon. The shell is gone. We hear there’s a special on scuba gear, though.
eye on the prize, head in the clouds, dreams eclipsing action
Leo, ~ This week keep your eye on the prize like the sole cup up top in the card. You may experience very dreamy, head-in-the-clouds attitudes from others this week, and you may have one yourself. Note the natural clue about daydreaming that allows you to rest being decisive all the time. Decidedly open up to your daydreams not as distractions but like signposts along the road on a driving trip. What do they tell you? Are they just passing by like clouds in the sky, or are they your mind/psyche giving you a free set of experiential cards AS your daydream for you to mine some goody from? Not everything has to MEAN something, like the old “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” line. Though, this week even with your fleeting thoughts or daydreams, try this game on for size: A fleeting thought is an internal shooting star, so make a wish; a daydream is a clue to rest or a clue provided to amplify the clarity of what you are doing… and whichever it is is for you to decide each time as to cracking your own whip to get back to work, listening to the need to pause or rest for several moments, or to looking at a shooting star or daydream as an incoming internal fax or email or phone call that provides something that SO works things out in what you are doing. Simply give that game a shot this week as your down time or times when you are NOT focusing on your work across the week may be when the really effective goody FOR your work arrives. This week don’t be a Practicality Snob. Take your clues from where they come. Reminds me of “Justice knows no loyalty” that came up in the Scopes last week. This week judge and discern content more than the source of content like a journalist not revealing sources. Take the content that works and make it yours and make it work for you… from wherever it comes. Open up to that and your daydreams as a whole new source of information that only you are privy to, and you probably won’t have to worry about getting scooped. Oops, we kinda just daydream-non-sequitur switched topics there, huh? Hmmm. How appropriate. I suggest to re-read your Scope now and daydream-lift off the Scope tarmac so you miss the switch-up at the end the 2nd time around.
spirit, blossoms, blooms, dynamic or intense fulfillment
Virgo, What a great week for you to complement and balance all your work with actively dynamic results. What jumps out at me on your 9 of Cups card is that orange thingamabob. This week look at words like “thingamabib” as being technical terms. Willy Wonka might consider them so, and he kicks ass, so follow his lead. Actively dynamic results that you start seeing and receiving and getting and causing this week might be similar to discovering the Everlasting Gobstopper. And, this week, relish in your rockin’ results and don;t EVEN begin to stop there. Take in the view from a great accomplishment. How do you see things differently from there? What can you now do differently now that you are there? Could you have done that before though maybe simply didn’t see it? No self-doubt this week to hold you back. Visualize your 9 cups and the golden pond and the orange Thingmabob. What happened when you clicked that link just there? Hmmm, that’s kind of like your accomplishment view isn’t it? You’ve made the place for it, now fill it up! This week allow the dynamism present in your emotions to move things around like sloshing water in a bowl only on a life scale. Doing so can be like gold panning, so watch for the valuable heavies that stay sunk on the bottom like the golden pool in the card in the middle. This week find those valuable heavies in the middle, and realize that the center is not necessarily in the middle. The Thingamabob feels to be the center. The golden pond feels to be the middle. So, what to do when you’ve found those heavies? Well, of course make Brand New Heavies so they have some company. This week make sure that you won’t be lonely at the top, ’cause you’re about to be seeing that place really soon… and not as a tourist. Wear your rockin’est shoes this week regardless of where you are.
Magician in his thoughts or sky top left along with The Hierophant and Chariot, magical spirit solidly on the move, grounded enthusiasm
Libra, ~ This week capitalize on those aspects you are most able to be a go-getter about. Be very discerning about what gets your energy this week by looking at the time and effort you spend versus the results. Does one thing drain you, and then to no avail? No Rocks of Sysiphus this week, Libra. Especially this week, depletion indicates mis-spent efforts. Look how solidly and interestedly and in awe though not starstruck that this Page of Pentacles looks up into his sky at The Magician, The Hierophant, and The Chariot. Magical spirit is on the move and solidly afoot with this Page. And, that’s your week in a nutshell. This week open up to your big view and your higher sight of how your own down-to-earth spirit is magically on the move strongly and solidly. You are your own Chariot this week, so try as you may, there’s no bucking you off the bronc this week. Are there shenanigans to be made? Deals to close with gusto? This Page plays and tinkers and develops things solidly. Is there a hobby you have that if set just right could have some fruitful overlap with your primary work this week? Ever heard of show and tell after 2nd grade? Ever heard of show and tell at work? Me neither except for in my Architecture firm years back. Show and tell induces serendipity concretely. You never know what anyone is going to bring to present until they do. And, that’s why it’s such a great office policy to have weekly show and tell right after the weekly office meeting. In fact I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more effective 1 2 punch than with those two meetings back to back for “out with the old, and in with the new.” Something just happens there. It’s like a magical twilight at dawn between the night of the last week and the day of the current one. See where I’m going with this, Libra? Focus on getting THAT office policy into your weekly regimen this week. This week do yourself a long-term investment-in-yourself service and figure out the scale of your weekly metronome. Solidly put that playful gig in place, and move on along. Get along lil doggie comes to mind. How is your magically down-to-earth spirit on the move this week. Rather than things being afoot. How ’bout you solidly 2-step some good afoot INto your schedule this week? “May I cut in?” Use that dance etiquette this week to get yourself right in where you need to be.
If you know your Ascendant (ASC) / Rising Sign and Moon, I suggest that you may want to read those, too. I find them most helpful. They often provide a message that enhances the sun sign in ways that flesh out things more resonantly.
Let me know
Let me know in the comments section how your Scope is an ally for your week. Touch base mid-week to see how your Scope is providing you more effective workability in your schedule and in your life, and gear over hump day by tuning and tailoring how you use your Scope based on your week’s successes to keep up with them. Honor your failures. Odds are there is wisdom in every one of them.
Till next time.

“Adversity does not build character. It reveals it.” ~ James Lane Allen
“Gig your celestial groove to kick your rut not your butt.” ~ Jordan Hoggard
In general this week ~ You are the Master Builder ~ with your actively energetic clarity ~ as a welling new fount ~ of epic energies mutually exchanged. ~ Your celestial groove where you kick your rut not your butt ~ will serve to balance you out more clearly ~ so that the higher octave of your clear emotions ~ can set the stage for your ground ~ to awaken. ~ Your Shadow exchanges with your bright and shining identity ~ to play with dynamic thoughts ~ as you come to complete a grand cycle you have been experiencing.
… How do you read those weekly cards above in a continuous, short-phrase-for-each sequence by Turbo Reading them into a single, short paragraph for your week? … Try it to get a sense all your own of what resonates in your week. Heck, pull 12 cards of your own and start from scratch. Suggestion: Don’t let writing your short phrases take more than 10 minutes, and spend another 5 composing them into one, cohesive sentence. Then, plug them into your schedule and see how they can perform as touchstones and allies of clarity through your week.

Here are Your TarotScope Allies for the Oct 27th to Nov 2nd 2013 Week
Scorpio, Build your concrete and psychic structures together this week. Infuse those tangible things you do with Kingly presence in solid ways. Confidence shouldn’t be an issue this week, so I don’t advise to banter out, “I’m strong” or “I’m confident.” That’s the surest way to burst that balloon. I bet your strength and confidence will be clearly evident in your actions if you relax any grousing or Tarzan-talk you’ve been affecting or putting out there somehow. This week do your gigs with wit and foresight. Like a King who rarely explains himself. Also, don’t fall prey to the residual talk that often occurs when you stop saying how strong and confident you are. Hmmm, what could that be? Well, asking rhetorical questions to people for one. Rhetorical questions have a tendency to be a tease at times. They can sure get people thinking, though mind the presumptuous and self-righteous dictate embedded in them. Engage people with your questions this week and strengthen your positions by being inclusive in evident ways… like building a Kingdom. A Kingdom is not simply a bunch of people on a hill. That’s more like a beautifully unruly crowd waiting for the band to come on stage… whether there’s a stage present or not. Stand and deliver this week by solidly taking action, and only take action on those things you have a big YES for. The other things can be delegated or outright dismissed this week. Oh, and how do you build a Kingdom? Step 1: pick 4 dreams and integrate deadlines into them like putting shoelaces in shoes. Step 2: Incorporate those deadlines into your schedule book. Step 3: Start. Start to finish. Have a great week. You may not wear a watch. I know I don’t. Though, buy your dreams each a watch this week so to speak.
Sagittarius: November 22 to December 21 ~ Queen of Wands
fire of life, life-acumen, actively energetic clarity directed to attract wants
Sagittarius, Mind that your vision is both blessed and sacred this week WITH a sense of humor. With your Queen of Wands presence odds are people are going to be enthused to hear the guidance of what you have to say and contribute. Queens are natural leaders. They have the rockin’ position of being able to witness everything from the side. They can see the reactions, feel the responses, and sense the things going unsaid from this position while others take the podium. Play that actively Powerful Witness this week. You may begin to notice things that are very evident though that you have been missing. This will be a week of opening your eyes to those missing pieces that are being offered to you. Don’t turn your eyes to the loudest barking dog in the group. Look around this week. Play the swivel-head perception game. Simply feel into your surroundings. Feel near and feel your senses cascading out far. The Queen of Wands would be one to instantly deflate a blustering idiot trying to take over a meeting just to be in power. For example: if someone riles up and directly says to someone, “There is no I IN TEAM!” Calmly lean forward and, “You’re right. Glad you can spell. There is no U in team. Now, sit down or there will be no U in this team,” and proceed to right the keel of the meeting back on topic in effective ways. You may not have to play referee this week, though be prepared to speak from your vantage point of Powerful Witness. People are going to be enthused to hear the guidance of what you have to say and contribute this week. Don’t reason with idiocy this week. A simple nod of the head side to side with a, “No no no no on that…not a chance.” This week reasons can be unreasonable. Use the natural authority of how you engage with body language, how you use your face and mouth and eyebrows, how you highlight your non-verbals so their presence in silence is extended. This week use the natural conversation of how you engage and communicate with body language. Your presence will go far beyond your spoken words this week. Use it to your advantage with fewer words to brings others more fully to the table to contribute.
Capricorn: December 22 to January 19 ~ Ace of Cups
trust intuition, nurture love, fresh ideas, fluid new passionate starts
Capricorn, Open up to new life this week. Trust your intuition as new ways to feel things are coming into play for you. Keep things light and fresh throughout the week, and make sure to hydrate hydrate hydrate. Enjoy yourself as you flow around and make sure that everything is kept fresh and ready. Nip clutter in the bud so new ways of feeling things have the opportunity to come in without being diluted to fit things already in place. Enjoying yourself this week will especially brighten your work and the attitude of those around you. They may even find it smilingly contagious and infect someone else. The brightness of this overall environmental attitude may begin to shed light on things that will enhance the overall by bringing hidden details into play directly. Treat each person you encounter this week as if they have something new to say. Remember, too, that seeing the good in everyone is great, and it can also mean that you smile realizing that some people are really good at being jerks. Let ’em be. Not your prob. Though let them nowhere near your cup or the bright and flowing cup of those around you. This week may be a big ole tall glass of water for you. Hydrate. Drink up and spread the wealth across your week. It looks like you are in a great position to notice something everyone else is missing. Act on it this week.
victory, glory, overcoming obstacles so new energies cascade in
Aquarius, Raise your head and hands high in a big and smiling stretch of receiving as you start this week. There feels to be an epic exchange of energies cascading in, and this week don’t be too modest about receiving. Reach up. Reach out. Receive and simply smile and say thank you. It’s a great gift to others when you don’t go all talky talky talky when receiving things. It can actually trample all over their smile with a 4-wheel drive of gushing words. Receive. Take it in and feel what you have been given. Look up and smile. Say thank you… and that’s it… well, hugs are cool, too. This week is about getting more comfortable with receiving energies and glory. Don’t cop a false sense of Betty Boop Infinity Foot and “Ahhhhh” kind of thing. Jump up and down. Dance around. Do any number of things, though across this week play with the exercise of only saying “Thank You” without then gushing any number of confession afterwards. Just say “thank you.” Too many words slaps the gifter in the face by telling them they were wrong to think you were deserving because you are trying to justify receiving…which comes across as that you don’t want it because you think you don’t deserve it. Don’t play it safe this week, and certainly don’t play the bird with the broken wing.. Receiving is a huge gift to those who give to you. Positively embrace that this week. Positively embrace the gifts you receive with full-hearted thanks. Remember, it’s o.k. to toot your own horn, or have someone toot your as a gift… somebody has to start the band. This week practice the volume of a smile and those two little words, “Thank You.” Oh, and it’s of course ok to still share. Don’t get me wrong. Then of course flip those two words to “You’re welcome.”…again, please without the over-sharing TMI gushing… Make this week a great week of exchange.
Thank You, Aquarius. You’re welcome… to feel what you feel.
cosmic grooves, eternal hope, inspiration, a lit candle is a star from beyond seen up close…do some candle gazing
Pisces, Keep your imagination near and dear this week. Visualize your imagination as a candle, and visualize that candle as a star seen close up. Allow the dance of these visualizations of your imagination to be as mesmerizing as candle gazing, and at the same time as far-seeing as looking at a star. Shooting stars may be especially of interest to you like your idea-apples ripe and falling off the tree right into your lap. Keep your imagination in its natural so big and so there way this week so that “way far away” may feel like you can just reach out and touch it. Reach out and touch your eternal hopes and dreams this week. Check in with them and take steps to embrace them further. This week is a great time to feel your bright hop shine in the wonderfully dark depths of the inner night of your imagination. If your cosmic groove comes upon you by surprise, go with it! The inner stars of the ideas orbiting in your Imagination Solar System this week have the potential to guide you as clearly as an experienced ship’s Captain navigates by the stars at night. This week feel the gift in that. Feel the gift of a renewed sense of direction that guides you through thick and thin, day and night, full-on confidence and being comfortable with the not-knowing. This week navigate by the stars. Navigate your week by the stars in the sky as they inspire the stars within you.
balance, befitting, honest is-what-it-isness, Justice knows no loyalty
Aries, This week explore the concept of “Justice knows no loyalty” (c) 2013 Jordan Hoggard. Seriously. Think about when someone crosses a friend or family member and you back them up, period, regardless. Well, this week I am not telling you to stop supporting your friends and family, though step back a sec and get perspective first. Do this as well with the things you are most passionate about. Take Simon Cowell type comments constructively and with a smile and see the bigger picture. Just because someone has always been able to be counted on, this week keep a keen Magistrate’s eye on the proceedings throughout your week. No need to be punitive to any party. Simply settle in and powerfully witness what is going on. You may begin to see how something you have supported is actually the cause of continued problems popping up. It may be in a blind spot caused by your expectations and assumptions. Again, no need to be punitive. Though, this week when you step forward to speak, do so in an inclusive manner that addresses the whole situation rather than any party individually. It is like Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, expressed: “Focusing too much on either the good or the bad in a situation or in a person makes an opening for maliciousness.” Focus too much on the good, and you run the risk of favoritism which can potentially weaken the resolve of the one you compliment if they look up to you. They might relax their drive at the wrong time. Focus too much on the bad, and you run the risk of stirring hornet’s nests you needn’t even be near. This week realize that focusing too much on the good can breed maliciousness out of a kind of omission, and focusing too much on the bad can create a direct maliciousness that is openly adversarial. Play with “Justice knows no loyalty” this week so you discern and act upon what is happening rather than your pre-ordained sense of teams. You yourself may run the risk of enhancing the effectiveness of how you discern things this week. And, that’s a risk I’d be willing to take. Enhancing the effectiveness of how you discern things is a good problem to have.
supportive, inner prosperity, meaningful conversations, clarity with higher octave emotions
Taurus, This week explore how you are a protective figure of abundance to someone and / or a group of people or a cause that you support. Rather than being a guide that shows the path, this week simply be supportive and protective of those things you value. Don’t expect too much assistance from Aries up there as you’re on the ground this week and they have an altogether different suggested mode of being this week. Be a friend and companion this week. You may find your abilities to inspire others through simple conversation to be the best expression of your abundant energy. This week is a grand time to have or plan a big get-together and flow wonderfully through conversation with those around you. Be they small or large in regards to your environment, strongly flow with those you care about this week. Support and protect rather than guide. Shine in the joyousness of groups you cherish… or, that are just plain fun! Have or plan that get-together or office party this week to set the Kingly stage where peoples’ abilities are given a place to brightly shine in conversation. Utilize your full love and attention to magnetically draw wonderful things together this week. There’s a bit of rockin’ Wand-y energy there, though I hear the King of Cups and the King of Wands are fishing buddies. Use that. This week Your Royal Court, hosted by Your King of Cups, has a grand opportunity to bring people together in higher octave ways from the most mundane of methods… a get-together. Have fun with the invitation this week even if it is simply an invitation from you to yourself to get more together with you as your own figure of protection and abundance..
Allow the ground you walk on to be as inspirational as the stars in your sky
Gemini, This week allow the ground you walk on to be as inspirational as the stars in your sky. Sound cool though like hocus pocus? Nah, is there something important to you that you planted a ways back that somehow made it to the back burner and then slipped out of view? Take a scenic overlook pause in your life across this week to see what you started that really meant something to you and that somehow got away from the manifesting focus of your actions. Tap tap tap those little ground-grabbers of your toes. Did it really go so far? Or, did somehow your forgetting allow it to run in the back and grow underground where your forgetting has become a “for getting”? What’s that?! That forgetting thing? Well, forgetting can be for getting. It has a tendency to make more room for the good stuff. This week look to how you have somehow, almost unconsciously, come back around to fertile ground where you can pick that important thing back up to be re-embraced and furthered. It may require just a little digging on your part, though I bet that this week will open up something near and dear to you for you to solidly work on again. Your link is a short short video this week. So, tune in and see where it takes you. This week, the wager that you are right where you need to be is a good one. Nevermind the odds. Look down while you are walking this week… while being mindful of where you are walking of course. Is there treasure to be found along your path? Don’t miss connecting with what your feet touch this week. Each step can sew a powerful connection. Let your feet sew your week together this week and you might just become quite impressed with how the apparel of your surroundings begins to fit even to the point of bringing your environment to feel like sacred adornment.
unfamiliar actions, strangely highlighted energies in feelings, awakening, regally emerging anew in playful ways
Cancer, This week be mindful if you pause with too great an emphasis on spiritual matters and un-reflected actions, actions that were performed to no avail. This pause may simply be a natural response to you being in unfamiliar places or having unfamiliar feelings. You may feel a bit unsettled this week feeling that you don;t really know what to do in things you do often, though get a handle on that. Are you in fact simply in a new place where things are evolving and refreshing themselves? Are you in fact simply having unfamiliar feelings? Keep up with this natural upgrade. You may be experiencing an awakening in which case those feelings are full-on par for the course. Look around. Feel within. Have you opened to a whole new and larger mode of yourself? Have you opened up like an adult birth where more of yourself was just simply revealed to you? If so, take it in and explore it with the bright-eyed-no-words of a child rapt with curiosity. No feelings of awakening this week? Cool. Either way, notice the house cracking open in the card. It is not hard to mend damage. It expresses the beauty of cracks and fissures opening up to UN-pave the way for new things to come through. This week notice potential opportunities in your scene. Every crack a door. Every opening a window. And, dance with the action-reaction of doors opening and closing magnetically causing new ones to do the same. Halloween and haunted houses are coming up soon, so please do be mindful of doors doing things by themselves, so that wicked cool pranks don’t mess with your focus this week. This is a week to give fresh eyes to just about everything. No need to do the baby-out-with-the-bath-water thing to clean and clear house. Simply clean and clear. Allow your fresh eyes to refresh the way things function and nurture you in your scene. This week allow your fresh eyes to direct and gift big breaths of fresh air to the things you are working on. Heck, if it’s warm, get a nice breeze moving through your house to hatch out any muckity-muck to the outside.
who you were when you were born, Self, return, identity, bright success in context
Leo, This week the light of your natural truth and purpose are pulsing more brightly. Be mindful not to get too strict on what you allow to affect you this week. In fact you might want to relax a bit. You might shine more not holding on so hard. As Oscar Wilde aptly put, “truth is the most impure thing.” I take his meaning to be that truth is born of the wonderfully messy experience of life. Truth as experience? Now, that I can buy because it blows out my own personal old joke of “Do not entrust truth or love to philosophers.” At 4 am in the morning after talking for hours and still in the middle of their first sentence you might come to the realization that, “No, they are not going to solve the world’s problems, and really are just avoiding asking that person out that they are attracted to. lol” “Truth is the most impure thing” ~ Oscar Wilde ~ is a great mantra for this week. Step up to really experience your experience. Work the mix. Live this week your way as much as possible as if it is bought and paid for and earning equity and interests you… as, this week, I imagine it will be. Look for the diamond in the rough. Look for the blessing in disguise. Look past the mirages of the blind spots of your expectations this week. Your bright light should illuminate what is behind them. Go ahead and invite those shadow dancers seen through the screen onto the main stage for your viewing pleasure. Mix with them. With this Oscar Wilde gig about truth I am really digging that truth is dirty and messy and probably loads of fun. Think about it. Telling the truth sometimes opens up situations more fully rather than stepping them down to make them more bland. Oh, and let your light shine on this statement for a few moments… “Trust is rarely brought up unless distrust is present.” See through the code of that to get to the heart of the matter of things this week… as this week the light of your natural truth and purpose are pulsing more brightly… brightly in ways you can use to open up more experiential truth in situations. Oh, and this week to go along with Wilde’s “Truth is the most impure thing,” keep in mind Mark Twain’s, “Of course truth is stranger than fiction, Man. Fiction has to make sense.” Open up more to experience itself AS truth in situations this week.
nearing completions, dynamism moving out of communication plateau(s)
Virgo, This week your thoughts and ideas will be as dynamic as ever, though be on the lookout for another plateau coming up where you can expand this dynamism and really give it the room to breath that it deserves. There may be some false summits that catch your eye this week. Look at them, notice them in the distance, though realize these false summits as pie in the sky horizons. You can dynamically expand with this 9 right whee you are. Your immediate horizons, the ones you can touch are trail-markers and trail heads calling to you to send your ideas off into them. Allow your ideas to play as if all on their own as you work on the big-picture ground for them to thrive. You are coming towards a big completion in your thinking, though be more mindful of where you are than of that. Distraction feels to be coming at you this week from all directions. I’d just say that this indicates that what you are doing interests people, and they all come running to be first in line. Orchestrate and schedule. Orchestrate and schedule on your terms so the onset of all these things interested in your work is utilized by you as tangible interest rather than chaos to distract your dynamism. Visualize your experience AS the situation this week so you stay on track with what you are doing. It may not be a big week of completions, though just as much so it is not a big week to second-guess the dynamism of things going on in your work, either. Notice a word over-used here? Dynamism? Dynamic? Well, Dyn-O-MITE to THAT! Keep the air fresh this week so things moving in a frenzy can keep moving that way and not crash into each other bring one another down. Air traffic control is the suggested mantra for you this week, though mind that your desk and controls in the tower easily accessible so that you don’t get in your own way. Work on the big-picture this week. Make sure you get the ground prepared so your ideas to have a place to thrive as they each come back and ask for instructions as to where to land.
epochal-cycle, Om–Libra-ohm punning, complete cycles, full orbits, luck
Libra, Enjoy your luck and your big ideas in a big way this week. It is similar to your work and ideas having an anniversary or birthday party. Open up to see your scene anew as you complete things. Play the big and pregnant pause of commencement AS a component to complete. Do not just jump right into new things this week. Respect the things you have done by directing them to the proper seats to graduate and move on. New things are coming in strongly, and you may feel like you need to welcome them, too. Don’t get distracted by that this week, though. That’s simply your next class of ideas and work enrolling so to speak. Don;t open a new epoch of work until you celebrate with the work you have just spent so much time completing… and, take your time doing so. The next steps into the next phase will be new, and you will serve yourself best by making sure you are like new, too, by being refreshed and ready. Place yourself where you want to be and flow naturally and take a few moments each day to experience how far you’ve come. Enjoy things that are present in a wonderful variety of ways. Right now and this week, simply enjoy things and be amazed how many cool things have come together. The Wheel’s perspective itself may be, “My BIGGEST love is when you complete something and it refreshes your perspective! Return here to refresh when you feel different in a familiar place.” If you know of any Cancer signs, you might want to lend a hand in regards to getting perspective as they are in a similar boat, simply at a different scale. “Review” is the mantra for this week. Review and… ok, a little planning won’t hurt. Celebrate your completions this week to prepare and make room for new things coming your way.

“Adversity does not build character. It reveals it.” ~ James Lane Allen

The World plays 2 parts in The Land of Mystereum, 2 very similar roles. It of course plays its full role in its card home address at 21 Archetype Avenue in The Land of Mystereum. Plus, The World makes a vignette appearance as a wormhole, a portal to other worlds in… see the examples below. This came about from a nod to the Mystereum Quaternal Brother Kings being overheard saying in unison, “The view through the looking glass at the top of our obelisk has special meaning for Mystereum’s Royal Court. They see the top of the obelisk as a looking glass to see the infinite world of your next cycle. They also see the top of our obelisk as a powerful portal between worlds. You see, they feel it is also a connection to the afterlife that they use regularly each time they finish their large works. The call the top of the obelisk “The Portal of the Seamless Segue,” or PotSS for short. They say that in each joyful completion of a cycle it gives you a glimpse of eternity.”~ excerpt from the Tarot in the Land of Mystereum Imagination Primer companion book, page 71.
1. The XXI World appearance. The World of course appears first as itself in its home at 21 Archetypal Avenue in The Land of Mystereum as a view up from inside an obelisk. Explore the Priestess and Strength articles in this “Presence of” series to plus out some of the subtle features up top.
2. The 9 of Pentacles appearance. Judgment also appears in the 9 of Pentacles as a vignette in the form of a wormhole. Ask yourself, “Why would this PotSS appear here in the 9 of Pentacles?” <——- The video link there might shed some light on it… or… take you there to reveal a secret. Make sure you get a reflective kitchen spoon out before you watch so you can play along.
overlaps, finery, naturalized, established solid dynamism

Hope you have enjoyed this segment of The Land of Mystereum Image Lineage as part of “The Presence Of” series where Major Arcana characters make a variety of appearance both bold and subtle throughout The Land of Mystereum!There is another segment coming out in this series about the Majors that appear as singles rather than cameo-ing their adventures throughout Mystereum, and then a “Mini Mystereum Encyclopedia Road Map of Travels Maquette”… LOL, a Table of Contents for this series. Then, we’ll be on to the “Presence of” the symbols in The Land of Mystereum.
Judgment plays 2 parts in The Land of Mystereum, 2 very specifically different roles of the exact same feature. This came about from a nod to ….2… throughout The Land of Mystereum. See the 2 examples below.

The Moon plays 17 parts in The Land of Mystereum, 17 very specifically different roles. This came about from a nod to the importance of the moon in half of our everyday life, as a nod to mystery and light from unseen sources, and from those times when the moon is more than half of our everyday life when it ventures out as a day sky moon. Enjoy the path of the moon in your own life as you explore the adventures that The Moon takes throughout The Land of Mystereum.
1. The XVIII The Moon appearance. The Moon of course appears first as itself. Well, no it doesn’t. Interesting, The Moon doesn’t appear first as itself. The Moon began in The High Priestess which pays an homage to The Moon receiving its light from an unseen source, its true nature only discovered later. Here the Priestess returns to emanate herself from the Lotus flower as a sacred gesture of welcoming The Moon to take its place and live in its natural, archetypal home.
2. The I Magician appearance. The Moon appears in The Magician as a solar eclipse, or is it an inner eclipse inside the sun of the Magician’s Self?
Notice the eclipse WITHIN the sun, and the magically watching eye-wings as vision to take you new places… focus so intense that it dilates time to open
intuition, forming, giving form to the formless, conception (to the Mag’s inception), fully grounded out-of-body experiences as a matter of course naturally
4. The V Hierophant appearance. The Moon begins to rise over the pyramid. Is the Hierophant in front of the pyramid? Or, is he within the pyramid and we see silent waters swum running deep both from and below him? Is that a UFO up there? Well, look at that. And, the UFO is.. oh, look at that… it’s actually built OF these little people. I guess a down-to-earth spirit flies its own craft.
Notice all the little people up and down HieroDood… wisdom, new spirit, activation, down-to-earth spirit
5. The IX Hermit appearance. The Moon is Full behind The Hermit’s vision that puzzle-pieces the night and day sky together.
Memory illuminating forward, inner light, perspective from experience, silent awareness
6. The X Wheel appearance. The Crescent Moon parses out golden sunlight as it imprints its Full Moon symbol at the top of The Wheel’s wheel. I wonder with those lavender sky-rings… Are we in the world under The Hanged Man or the Ace of Wands here?
epochal-cycle, Om–Libra-ohm punning, complete cycles, full orbits, luck
7. The XVI Tower appearance. The Moon peeks in. Front row Box seats for The Moon as The Fool returns to a home riding his Golden Pillars of the Fabric of life. The Moon has a front row seat as The Fool reurns to a home growing wildly out of control to lightning-speak the truth and blast it to the ground fertilizing The Phoenix. Wait. What is that coming out of the lightning truth emerging out of The Tower below? My my. That’s no fiery Phoenix. That’s The Chariot character! Go figure a Birth Card Brother would come out of something as powerful as the Fool’s labor in this birth. Guess The Fool knew the Tower wanted a brother, huh? Hmmm, maybe not a Tower’s brother at all. It’s YOU, only NEW that comes out the other side of this.
big change, world-altering, emancipating
8. The XIX Sun appearance. The Moon, again eclipsed in The Sun as with The Magician above. The powerful lunar eclipse AS the Sun’s 3rd eye, AS the 3rd Eye of Identity. As your identity becomes focused, your intuition emanates more strongly. With these two working together naturally, odds are you are an Oracle.
who you were when you were born, Self, return, identity, bright success in context
9. The Ace of Wands appearance. The Ace of Wands Hermit-Vision opens up the night to flow into the day with depth as The Moon synchromeshes side by side with the Sun across the twilight that this Ace of Wand’s Hermit-Vision has magically made.
Shakin’Your Inner Booty scribes a new world, new life, place-making, enthusiasm
10. The 2 of Wands appearance. The Moon is a day sky moon. And, fractally faceted all over the… WAIT! There are so many moons in the night sky. Whatever is one to do? That’s confusing! That’s what the Moon is here for. Here, the Moon visually dispells madness so that one may choose the best energy for themself, so that…. The Moon is here in the Ace of Wands to visually dispel madness so that one can see not to make lots of little things appear like one, big thing. This is energetic decision-time here. The word is “unconfusion.”
the savante of Self along the curved arc forming the circle for the first time. Beware perceiving many little things as one big thing. Let those infinite many mini-chords be the experience of a curved arc until…
11. The 6 of Wands appearance. The Moon along with the Priestess arrive to 6’s-style cascade an exchange of energies to re-resonate these Wands now past their half-way point along your particular adventure.
victory, glory, overcoming obstacles so new energies cascade in
12. The 7 of Wands appearance. There is high noon when the Western gunfights happened. Here their is high moon when the time to go in headlong regardless of the odds presents itself. Why would gunfights be at high noon you might curiously ask? Never read this anywhere, though not casting shadows is a great way to see exactly who is faster and more accurate. Shadows are longer and longer one way or the other depending on how far away they are from noon. That would also mean they move faster than YOU actually move making them. Kind of like your hand and elbow. Place your hand on your chest. Now, extend your hand and stretch out your arm all the way. Look at that! Your hand went twice as far as your elbow in the same amount of time. Your hand would be the shadow at any time other than noon. Talk about subtle movements turning into being full-on telegraphed. Justice at high noon as the speed is what it is without distorting factors… then there’s the accuracy. The intuition of this Moon lights the way through the path of the odds here.
decisive action, strategies, taking charge, going in regardless of the odds
13. The 8 of Wands appearance. The Moon in the 8 of Wands. Field sports? A ball flying through the air? Things are up in the air in a positive way… like moonbeams. 8’s are like an open and expansive plateau. Open your hands to BE the infinity of receiving, your palms AS the plateau.
up in the air in a positive way like moonbeams, energy across a plateau like field sports
14. The 9 of Wands appearance. The preparation is complete with the 9 of Wands. A single barn truss stands. As people arrive, they bring their own, and another, and another. Son, a long-house is created, the long-house of a get-together. The Moonlights the place where this preparation has been completion. “Ding dong” you hear. Get the door. Time to get the party started!
15. The 10 of Wands appearance. The Moon appears as the eye of the cockatiel, the interested cockatiel with raised headfeathers. The Moon is in the 10 of Wands sights, the Sun brightening the unknown behind him. He himself, between the Sun and the Moon IS himself the magical twilight of the space between. He himself IS the Psychic Synapse. The Moon is here to play its part dancing with the Sun to create the magical twilight for this Cirque du Soleil character to inhabit.
balanced courage, agility, grace with all you carry
16. The Page of Wands appearance. The Moon… so far away yet touching his left hand. It’s a critical touch to have in a strong situation like this where the Hierophant lives on one side of this Page’s wand fully infusing the it, and Strength lives on the other side of it doing much the same… both giving and receiving through the Page’s wand at one and the same time.
rush of excitement, adventure, risk
17. The Knight of Wands appearance. The Moon IS this newborn’s vision, the vision of this Knight upon awakening. The Moon informing him to make his wand into egg teeth and crack-hatch from this house. The crack and broken house are not hard-to-mend damage. They indicate an awakening, an energetic awakening opening up more naturally to oneself while on the move. Knights realize things atop their horse rather than atop their tatami mats. The house of this Knight’s experiences did not build his character. They warmed him to reveal it.
unfamiliar actions, strangely highlighted energies in feelings, awakening, regally emerging anew in playful ways

Temperance plays 18 parts in The Land of Mystereum, 18 very specifically different roles. This came about from Temperance’s magically alchemical mixing qualities that felt to resonate into the crucible creating these cards It felt very natural to let the presence of Temperance naturalize throughout this many cards in The Land of Mystereum. This is where my concept of Deceptive Simplicity and hiding in plain sight came through in Mystereum character development most evidently. For, this many appearances are almost so big and so there one might miss them… or not. It’s like Yellow Car Syndrome. Don;t have a yellow car? Then, there are probably none on the road. Though, BUY a yellow car, and drive it off the lot. On the way home you might see 50 of them. They’ll be everywhere. Things are easy once you learn them, much like things are easy to see once you’ve seen them, huh?
magically mixing, natural balance, duet as one not dual
Blends in seamless communicative synchromesh, healthy and discerning, logical and fair, Ultimate Communicator allied with Justice
1. The XIV Temperance appearance. Temperance of course appears first as itself. Temperance is the Samekh Dance birthing the Quaternal Twin King Brothers. The Temperance female is a cameo of The High Priestess and the King-Maker in the light of day. Samekh Dance? What’s that you ask? Start at her crown chakra where he touches her. Move your eyes around the composition. Curve through her to her touch of his throat, her touch tempering his voice. Then, continuing, his wide right arm gesture moving off the card on the right past consciousness to wrap around the unseen future and come back in to touch her crown chakra… with just that subtle, Samekh, pig-tail flourish of his finger. And, there is a compositional Samekh (serif Samekh font version), or as I like to call it, The Samekh Dance of Temperance. Why Samekh? Samekh is often attributed to the Temperance card, and it felt resonant to bring it into as composition and structure that hide in plain sight.
2. The XV Devil appearance. After coming together above and below in their Samekh Dance as one, the Temperance characters themselves do not cameo in the Devil, though coming before the Devil they direct the characters to square their circle and move to come together side by side as the yin and yang, the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine either side of The Devil. This way the above and below are integrated with the earthly plane. We could have some fun and say, Temperance went horizontal. Get a room.” This is a gesture to temper and evolve the Pan-goat ego so that earthly desires are seen and felt as natural intensities to be explored, experienced, developed, and resonated in and with. In this Devil card, the man and woman are both tethered by blood to his obelisk. Though, from the Devil’s expression, they are acting together and clearly the leaders in the card. The Devil may feel that they are in control. From their Temperance perspective, though, their role is more of an evolved form of control born of balanced masculine and feminine qualities which can be equated with self-leadership by being comfortable with one’s intensities and desires. I find it important to say here that the Lover’s love what they love, period-end-of-story without apology, and that concept is embraced here without guilt as they are both contributing, giving back (over their shoulder). These two were directed by Temperance to cameo here and come together to interdependently individuate Temperance into The Devil. I mention the Lovers, though I’m not sure if these two characters are from the Lovers card. The Lovers have a private face in their card. They seem to either be real Picasso people or wearing Mardi Gras masks. Their private life is theirs. So, as the author, I can’t even tell you which two they are. Well, that’s not really true. It’s more-so that I have discretion, and that’s their business on their terms of their own accords together. 😉
3. The Knight of Wands appearance. Out of the darkness of the house, the egg, this Knight crack-hatches into the light. The cracked and broken house is not hard-to-mend damage. It is an energetic awakening. Kundalini rising? The energetic serpent emerging from the sacral egg. Two things become one for these to occur and release higher octave energies such as an energetic Knight in Your Royal Court — as the Court Cards are called in The Land of Mystereum.
4 through 13. The High Priestess appearance. Please visit the Presence of the Priestess blog in this Presence of series as she has 10 appearances throughout The Land of Mystereum. With the mixing present in Temperance, this felt like a great place for a big, cross-linked overlap rather than on, big way-too-long article. See those 10 cameos here and further explore how the families in The Land of Mystereum come together to create a whole surreal world in their archetypal and psychic home of the deck.
14. The 10 of Wands appearance. Strongly agile, energetic balance. The Temperance of intensities in Cirque du Soleil level yoga. A young King with wand-y cockatiel headfeathers up expressing interest, pouring one’s energies into a focus. Notice the home between the day and the night. Both are either side of the brain’s twilight community in the back of his head/top of spinal cord. Notice this place. It is composed of the cerebellum, medulla oblongata, pituitary gland, pons, and pineal gland. This places this brain neighborhood at home AS the magical twilight between day and night, conscious and unconscious, where brain meets brain stem. Call the dusk and dawn the magical twilight, the interstice, the Psychic Synapse of the space between, and this little brain neighborhood lives there in the card. Putting the 10 of Wands here after the Knight of Wands does beg a question: Does this higher octave level of body temperance achieved in the mindbodybeautiful of the 10 of Wands bring one to a potential awakening in the knight of Wands? With the concept of the Temple In Man and the Temple of Manand intense martial arts training, my perspective on that is “Definitely, Yes.”
The Quaternal Twin Kings
complete energies, acting in the moment, energetic astuteness
supportive, inner prosperity, meaningful conversations, clarity with higher octave emotions

15. The King of Wands appearance. The 10 of Wands grew in to the Knight of Wands, and the Knight of Wands grew up. He is now the King., one of the four Quaternal Twin Brother Kings. Note the Queen of Pentacles at his gravitational core in his mind. His heritage is strong. His magical twilight brain neighborhood is as bright as ever.
16. The King of Cups appearance.The King of Cups, besides being composed of the characters from Temperance, resonates differently than the other Kings. The Queen of Cups emanates from his biceps, from the nourishing support of his actions. His emotions infuse his every move which births life at every turn. He understands all too well that the wisdom of the ages naturally lives in well-expressed emotions. He’s intense, though has more of a “mellow, not melodrama” way about him. His heritage is fluid and fully integrated. His magical twilight brain neighborhood is as bright as ever.
17. The King of Pentacles appearance.The Master Builder of the group. He has fully integrated architecture within and about. Sound limiting? Doesn’t sound like Temperance? Well, personally, as an Architect, drawing pretty pictures is the smallest part of my job. I won’t play the expertise resume game required daily to do my job. I’ll put it vastly more simply to see if this opens something up for you. Architecture is composed of the Greek roots or arche (arkay) and techne (teknay). Arche is the creating, is the original idea, the first-spark of inspiration, and it is formless. Arche would then be “inception.” Techne is the making and putting together of the idea in form, giving form to the formless. Techne would then be “conception.” Architecture is a both~and wholeness rather than an either/or proposition. The King of Pentacles might live by these two quotes. “Architectural design consists of an ounce of inspiration and many tons of logical argument.” And, he solidly knows the ins and out of process as he is fully aware that, “The 1st 95% of a project takes the first 95% of the time. The last 5%? Well, it takes the other 95% of the time.” Note the Queen of Pentacles at his gravitational core in his mind. His heritage is strong. His magical twilight brain neighborhood is as bright as ever.
18. The King of Swords appearance.The Ultimate Communicator of the group. He fully and empathically integrates into his surroundings. His words and expressions are evident, clear, and sharp… right to the point in the big picture. And, his words and expressions, his sword, mostly always go outside the accepted borders as he is always after the natural thought and not the accepted way of thinking. I would call this King the Ninja-Samurai as he seamlessly blends in with his regal and formal uniform being that of Nature itself, the perfect foundation to support clear expressions. This King is fully aware that his presence is felt way beyond his spoken words. He understand the tip of the finger pointing while at the same time may look at a different moon than the one pointed to. Notice that his magical twilight brain neighborhood is goldenly distributed through him to activate his crown chakra and as well to live and surf on the crests of his actions to enliven them further with natural intent in his will.
