The Tarot leaning for this Litha Tarot BlogHop is…
Litha is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. At this time of year people have historically celebrated the abundance in nature and the power of the Sun by creating fire wheels, bonfires, and dancing circles. As the Summer Solstice is a time when the veil is thinner, it is also a time for the faeries to come out and play, to give and receive gifts, and to create mischief. Call ’em rockin’ shenanigans. The aim of this Tarot BlogHop is for us to share our own gifts in creative and / or playful ways. To share within a circle that heartbeats to pulse and expand and share in the larger epic spiral of giving and receiving. The way each blogger expresses this has been left open to be presented in whatever way each person wants. So, enjoy the vibrant variety across your BlogHop adventure! In that vein I decided to play to one of the hearts of the matter heartbeat-pulsing in the Sun card from my perspective. Hop on in!
Your BlogHop Mystereum Tarot Moment for Litha and the Summer Solstice
Hey there,
Jordan Hoggard here with your Mystereum Tarot Moment for the Sun card, card XIX of Tarot’s Major Arcana.
who you were when you were born, Self, return, identity, bright success in context
You can look at the ” X’s ” in The Sun’s XIX as…
You can look at the ” X’s ” on either side of the ” I ” in XIX as magical twilight crossing bridges connecting night to day, day to night. Each ” X ” twilight crossing bridge of dusk and dawn embraces the ” I ” of You, Thou if you wanna… Twilight dawn connects night to day across its magical twilight crossing X-Bridge. Twilight dusk connects day to night across its magical twilight crossing X-Bridge. I call twilight Nature’s Psychic Synapse. At each magical twilight X-Bridge Nature takes an energetic Fool’s leap across the synapse from night to day, from day to night… much like a neuron fires across the space between to the next neuron to cadence-pulse the heartbeat of brain activity.
though… I’m not going to go all neurological on you. That just might be neurotic, and maybe just annoying. So, let’s hop more directly with Tarot and XIX The Sun card as to the talent developed into an ability that I would like to express here. It’s my ability to express Tarot voice and story from a perspective beautifully and wonderfully peculiarly my own. Hop in! The Sun has many, many stories, so let’s BlogHop focus across one of the Sun card’s Psychic Synapses to get to A heart of the matter in one of the Sun card’s fractally faceted stories.
The Sun card…
The Sun card is possibly who you were when you were born… and maybe forgot?
The Sun card is about how you shine, about the brightness of your identity.
The Sun card is about how you come together and dance with your shadow like a wise Sophia Principle in just your way.
The Sun card is the wisdom of the ages naturally present in clear emotions whether you have become wise or not.
They Say Life Is Short…
The Sun card also brings in perspective by contrasting day and night, night and day.
Life is short. So, rather than think about its length, expand off the tight rope!
Expand your Inner Inheritances, those naturally bright talents you were born with.
Expand your Inner Inheritances to develop your talents into allies of abilities!
Your Inner Inheritances From The Sun…
Rather than the length of your life, expand!
Expand like the sun shines all around to live your width.
Live your width so big and so there like the sun’s light.
Live your width so big and so there like the sun’s light so you extend past your horizons.
Allow your sun to rest and play hide-n-seek and transform into the life of your dreams.
Live your width so that even when your brightness dims, you can simply rest knowing it is soon to return…
each morning.
Live Your Width! Live Your Expanse!
Live the width of your life across the magical twilight X-Bridges of each of your dawns and dusks!
Expand to give light to the life of your Moon when you rest!

Remember, even in a card with no people, there is always one… You! You looking in through the portal of the card.
Nah, Notta Chance! Borgs Are Allergic to Water, Right?
Go with the flow without resistance? Watch it. Is that crowd control at work? Seriously.
Yeah yeah it’s about not being so controlling, though even being comfortable with the not-knowing, how are you prepared for sudden pitfalls or waterfalls up ahead? Will you blithely flow into danger?
Be fluid, though going with the flow for too long has a tendency to have you just along for the ride too much for your own good sometimes, huh? You can get lulled into “Ahhh, everything’s so beautiful.” Too much nice nice is like smoking hope, a narcotic for the brain. I suggest to have a positive attitude and not look for the good or the bad in things. Weigh the good and bad in contrast to one another just to get a tenor of the situation… while you are discerning and creating and looking for workability. Workability is usually at the heart of the matter. Workability tends to grow from within rather than from the edges.
Salmon to spawn.
Sperm to egg.
Turn upstream.
New life comes from when things…
turn upstream.
Experience makes for new life. Turn upstream and take in and make new life!

Gemini: May 21 – June 20 ~ 3 of Cups
Gemini, this week your energies will be well-placed in interactive groups and get-togethers with friends. The cycling insights you receive are best to be kept moving through the week to keep them fresh and new until you can really gear into them just after the coming Solstice on Friday. Invite people over or to meet at the park or try a fresh new venue, preferably where you can all be outside and the breeze busses the table of old ideas right away as your laughter and interests set a new table for this next phase of your life. It’s a big week where you may see the trailheads of feeling milestones crossed in the moment you set foot onto a new path. Mark the moments of newness by fully enjoying them in the moment this week.
Cancer, look at you rockin’ Ye Olde Problem Card. Of any of the signs, though, you may realize more than most the treasure hidden in what feels like anguish. Take a big breath and say F**k it as you forcefully exhale and smile. Do this until you start laughing. Your warm and established inner light will shine back through. This week look for the eye in the storm, the treasure in the trash, connective middles that are missing. Use your 2 cents to connect these and plug in to things you might have never seen had you not looked at things in a fresh way. Seems to me that your 5 of Pents is dragging you by the feet toward a more healthy sense of exchange and healthy, reciprocal gestures if you make good and sure you strengthen your position by being no more at the mercy of the past than you are of old photo albums. Make some new pictures to feature this week. After the Solstice on Friday, you’ll almost already be a whole week into this new way of viewing yourself and others.
solid emotion as a rite of sacred adornment, release to return to support
You bright, bright Leo. Be the source of the light this week. Your Ace of Swords is all about sticking to the points sharply. Let the point you stick to this week be the heart of the matter of things you experience. It is not recommended to grow from the edges. Grow and expand from the heartbeat of the matter pulsing in your situations. Sticking to the point can be a little boring sometimes, so simply review how you do this. Taking the pulse of an idea or a conversation may be a more up-front Loki way of tricking you into the discipline of sticking to the point this week, and of course once you get into the groove, I’d bet that just because you think something, it may well be right on point this week. Let that light you wonderfully shine everywhere lend some light speed to your core in the heart of the matter this week. This week will be more about experience and discovery for you than accomplishments. Of course the points you stick to and the pulses of ideas you take this week may surprisingly expand into allies in the coming weeks.
sticking to the point, cutting through, quickening
Virgo: August 23 to September 22 ~ XI Strength
Well, well Virgo. This is a week for your natural, inner voice to be clearly felt in the world. This week it is more about THE words you resonate with and use than how many. Visualize yourself as your favorite animal this week and borrow some of their non-verbal cues as clues to how to best express yourself. Your ears may be a bit more sensitive than you are accustomed to this week as your voice reaches levels of conceptual perfect pitch. Stand and deliver only when you are ready and on your terms. Remember, the warm-up is not part of the performance. When the curtain is up and the mic is live be up and alive and stand and deliver. Bravos and encore performances may well be in your mix this week more than not.
self-control, natural voice, simplicity
Libra: September 23 to October 22 ~ XXI The World
DANG, Libra! Hope you like oysters and pearls because I’d bet that the way you eat wonderfully exotic things may just expand your horizons in huge ways this week. Take time to mind that there is something just totally rockin’ in every meal. It doesn’t have to be oysters and caviar. Heck, hummus and flax seed chips are typically high in iron, look like a fun food snack, and may juice you up to set your sights much, much higher this week. Consult your physician as I am in no way giving you dietary or medical advice. I am simply saying to make a list of those healthy, exotic eats that you indulge in occasionally, and have a little with each and every meal. I’ll sometimes do a condiment dinner theme with hearts of palm and olives and artichoke hearts and broccoli and carrots and dip. Heck, this week even spruce up your water with your fave citrus or other natural flavoring. No fake stuff this week. And, that applies across the board. If it is not healthy, then it shouldn’t be near. Think about yourself this way. If something isn’t broken, well, then don’t break it. Enhance things this week including the brightness in your eyes by the HOORAY kind of food you eat. Strange newly great things may venture your way this week. Be on par to welcome them.
complete cycles, expansive, infinite, milestone in a moment
You are the rock in the group this week, Scorp. Allow yourself to be supportive without a care of receiving in return this week. It feels like you have that natural ability to be philanthropic this week in the way where you go out to a great dinner with a few friends, and the bill is mysteriously pre-paid and you appear none the wiser. Use your solidity to unfurl some hopeful and inquisitive mystery into those close to you this week. Their smiles and animated ways they get activated my be a super return on your investment. Be present this week and pepper that with some anonymous gifting of various kinds. Use your imagination to come up with at least 10 things for the week to put out there for others. You may just build quite an electromagnet in the process, and notice how you helping others helps them to help you brighten a room. Don’t divide and conquer this week. Spread the wealth as you sit back and smile at how your reach strengthens others.
prosperity, close relationships, solid sharing
Sagittarius: November 22 to December 21 ~ XVIII The Moon
Someone’s going to need to mind their genius and madness this week as Sag Sun + The Moon card may as well equate to the Devil card. Mind your intensities this week by exploring them with care and attention. Your intuitions will be spot-on, and there is an intense indication to infuse your every action with imagination and intuition and your generally wholly-unique-being centaur energy. Your horse base and human torso make you this uniquely complete being. This week especially feel that natural, animal connection to the chthonic ground below, and at the same time feel that natural human connection to the numinous sky above. With the Moon card and the coming Solstice on Friday with the moon in Sagittarius you have a grand opportunity for insightful reflection that you can just about immediately put to good use. Make lists this week. You may start to have so many things going on that you want to make sure you rise to each and every occasion without fail. Review your list or lists just before you go to sleep and just after waking. Pay attention to yourself first this week as the light may just shine on you from an unseen source. Don’t out your Scorpio chart-neighbor friends in their anonymous philanthropy antics. If you can, anonymously play the game with them. Act as innocent as you can. Oh, I forgot. You’re Sagittarius. You’re not guilty of much though innocent doesn’t stick to you very believably even when you are. People expect you to be a troublemaker. You’re good at it. Your up-front Loki is appreciated, and will be especially well-received this week.
vision, genius, poetry, madness, reflection from unseen sources
So, Cappie, this week is time to count the potential you could reap from what you have sewn. It may not be time to reap and use this potential yet, though take stock of how you have increased the strength of your position since the Solstice last year in 2012. It is suggested to keep the big picture on the table, maybe even literally make place mats for your table out of your big picture. It may serve to keep you out of your head and use your mental real estate more effectively rather than planning every little thing. You may want 2 place mats per person at the table so you don’t hide your big picture from yourself when you serve up your plate. Sound crazy? This week you need some dynamism to stir up your solidity so it doesn’t become stolid and brittle. Sound crazy? This week dear Cappie you may need to stir some crazy into your mix so you don’t go crazy. No holding back this week. No volcano bulging stuffed until it blows. Step on the gas and let the exhaust pipe do its job. Big picture and moving more freely without reason just because you wanna this week may be your best best. I’d tell you that reasons are probably just unreasonable for the most part this week, though you might not believe me… ’cause they’re reasons, right? Play with that this week. You may pry-bar the elephant in the room right out the door. If you’re groovin’ this week, maybe just peanuts out in the yard. Sell tickets, though.
This week, Aquarius is going to be about the connections between things that are both seen and unseen. These connections may be unseen as they may integrate seamlessly like hidden bridges of connection and support. Focus in on your pauses during actions at the level of considering a neural synapse to be a hidden pause of a bridge for the neurons on either side. Visualize the top and bottom of your breath rather than your inhale and exhale. Visualize the male yang of taking life in on the inhale. Visualize the female yin on your exhale as your shoulders drop a little and relax. This week is not only about seeing the unseen for you. This week is about playing with the unseen. Use the wisdom of a Sophia Principle such as…Be aware enough to sense your shadow, though be astute and poetic enough to dance with it. No battling your Shadow. Maybe look for something like The Divine which is so big and so small and so there you can’t see it. Play. Play. Play. Whistle while you work or something that happy-vibes that you know something no-one else does whether you do or not. This is a week of seeing through the mirages of your expectations by literally noticing what you don;t see in your blind spots. New friends? New dance partners? New partners in shenanigans? You name it. Though, see what you don’t see before you name it.
exquisite pause, intermediate completion point, top and bottom of breath, focus in context
Pisces: February 19 to March 20 ~ 3 of Wands
You have simple and clean new energies aspirating your system this week oh watery depthful one. These new energies are coming in possibly from an outside source. They may be emerging from your unconscious. They may feel like brightly simple surprises. Whatever they are, don’t possess them. Enjoy them and experience them as they cycle through. It feels like there is a cosmic battery charger on your side giving you an added boost this week. Run with it. It may be temporary, though not while it’s occurring of course. Use these new energies or enhanced zeal you feel to your best advantage. Dial into it just so, and this week you may be able to really energize some of those back burner projects or upcoming presentations you have in the works. Find that extra mile you can go before you even need to go the extra plan. Arrange it so that you can fill in some blank schedule slots with portions of that extra mile. By the ed of the week some eyebrows may be raised that you haven’t seemed to change your work habits, though somehow you are producing more in a way that appears effortless. Work troubles and problems and empty spots with the new energies at your disposal this week. Call them disposable energies as they will go away… though they may cycle back in recycled forms in surprising ways when you have used them fully as the new opportunity-seeds they are.
new energies, enthusiasm, travel
Aries: March 21 to April 19 ~ Knight Of Cups
Giddy Up, Aries. You don’t have problems with movement most probably. Action is oftentimes your middle name. This week, though, play a little more of a complex tune with your actions. Be more gymnastic and animated across the fabric of all you have brought together. The only time to sit on your laurels may be when you use them as a saddle for your ride. Use your accomplishments this week to boost the horsepower and performance of your actions. This week is a grand time for you to incorporate things on the move in agile ways like a horse performer hop-jumping over the running horse side to side, up and over and spinning and such. The curtain is up on you this week, Aries. Knights are always warmed up. Get a good night’s sleep every night this week. You will be thankful for the energy boost to enhance being able to kick it up a notch this week.
valiant feeling, honest expressions, incorporating on the move
Wow, Taurus. This week your big picture is SO not the focus. Mind the details. Look in the microscope and through the telescope to discern what the most crucial and natural connections between things are. Tend to them. Do a little maintenance as necessary. Don’t let it be boring. Make it like taking pride in your ride. Make it like giving your home a good roam. Inspect and tinker at length with connections this week. You may effect a tune-up that you would have missed if you looked at the things and not the crucial connections between the things. See if you can find a missing middle or a connection that would be better exchanged with another. Heck, have a Little Connections Party and ask people to express what they think the most natural connections between things are. You may just surprise your far-reaching intellect with ways to extend even further inside and about.
apogee n perigee, crucial connections, dna of things

Thanks Corrine Kenner for the above quote that must have slipped out! And, to think I wasn’t planning on blogging today… go figure.
How to Make Dreams Come True
So… rather than sitting around smoking hope with your dreams. Begin to build foundations under them by transforming them into goals. Bring them through customs from the unconscious into reality by studying them, discerning their components, and setting deadlines accordingly. Soon enough you’ll be giggin’ the smiles. Carrying your dreams to full term and making them come true does come with a problem, though. You then have to be inspired to create new ones! Make sure to make room for them in both your air traffic control and piloting, and of course their home on your ground.

Gemini: May 21 – June 20 ~ 3 of Pentacles
Hi Gemini. It’s still your birthday month span of time. The solid groups that give you support are in the forefront this week. Look to the groups of friends, loved ones, and ideas that support you. Don’t take anything fro granted this week. Get together with groups of friend, loved ones, AND your ideas this week. There is a lot to be received from the experience of putting them all through the paces. See how you can benefit from the ways they catalyze you to strengthen them further with direct experience over intellect. Don’t think too much. The ball is formed. Get it rollin’.
industry, hard work, solid groups
Cancer: June 21 – July 22 ~ 8 of Swords
You may feel a plateau in your communications and thoughts this week. Let it be like an expansive commencement, a pregnant pause as an opportunity to explore while you reflect. Do your best to see a familiar situation differently, even if it feels never-ending. Don’t fall prey to feeling lost in a loop when you simply have an expansive mountain park to play in and discover new things from things you may feel all too normal. Juice up your normal here as you are nowhere near having to deal with tight turns and cramped spaces. Raise your hands high and stretch out and around large. Move around to avoid getting lost in too much open space. Explore it. You may see a new dynamism coming into the mix by doing so.
note the Shadow Hand
Leo: July 23 – August 22 ~ 7 of Pentacles
You are in a place to be truly aware of the strength and depth at the height of your ideas. This week notice how you have developed your ideas.such that the fruits of your labors are forming from them. This week you may feel you have developed so fully and deeply that you are placed in altogether new depths you might normally associate with depth. This week is a sacred time for the sacred place of your imagination to expand each time you pause and reflect. This week feel your ideas within you, in front of you, and all around you all at one and the same time. Mind that you keep shifting focus and redirecting scale when you need to so you don’t burn out a gear so to speak. Don;t rise to the occasion. Expand to the task.
quiet watchfulness, pause, higher sight within an above
Virgo: August 23 – September 22 ~ 6 of Swords
This week is not a time to reach for more. Doing so might even hurt. You have all you need, and grasping for more will simply cause stutters in your movement like a lazy man’s load where one carries to much. If you pick up more things this week, plan them out so you don’t lose them, though if you act on them immediately they may fall and break away, or cause you to drop them. Focus this week with all you have to ramp up the sharp exchange of ideas and thoughts in your mix to run more smoothly. When you need a break, try dancing with your shadow in the sun. Lead with a smile knowing your shadow dance partner will groove with your every move with fluid fluency. Lighten up. The world’s not out to get you. You may just be feeling more sensitive than normal. Reasons may be unreasonable this week, figuring things out the most crippling thing to do. Close the hood and step away from your Inner Engine. Turn the key and let your feet do the talking. Use what you’ve learned by exploring things at length without having to explain them.
Full communication as the bones of your exchange
Libra: September 23 – October 22 ~ II The High Priestess
This week Libra you may feel connected to all like a grounded out of body experience where you can still step on the gas safely. It appears you may be giving form to something that has been formless for some time now. Make sure to get some magical twilight dawn time and some magical twilight dusk time to freshen yourself from the night and the day. A nap may be in order regularly each day this week to re-open your days and nights like they are new again. Allow yourself to have a couple of shorter days and nights in each day and night this week. What you are giving form to may require your constant attention. So, be prepared by touching base to make sure you are fresh several times a day and night this week.
techne, making, putting together fully, giving form to the formless, Inner Guardian
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21 ~ The Knight of Pentacles
You may have been solidly incorporating something recently that you have been keeping to yourself. This week you might want to get off your horse so to speak or whatever vehicle you have been driving with when you come to an impasse. Simply step down the pace much like getting off a horse when you come to a gate to open it up. This gate or impasse may irritate you to know end, though if you step down the revs, you’ll easily tailor it to open up a whole new territory to rev back up and zoom into. Look both ways, though. You are operating with a lot of extra energy this week, so learn the art of the neutral gear and steering and braking with the clutch in so your inner engine can cycle down. Mind your heavy hand. If you are on the gas, I suggest a co-pilot. Check in with someone close to you more than you are accustomed to. They will help you see new things as you move through and into this new gateway time. You might want to walk around and explore a little before you get back to your full tilt self.
consistent, steady, and diligent while incorporating things on the move
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21 ~ The 5 of Pentacles
Someone may have recently made you an offer of support. Return the favor they extended by taking them up on it this week. Your warm and established inner light may be getting clouded by something in your mix where you simply need to return to a place that rejuvenates you, and allow someone to help you out. Look at any tears this week not as release. Ok, you release. Then what? Moving forward with less weight but the same cloud? Look at any tears and emotions this week not as release. Allow them to brighten you. Allow tears and emotions to be sacred adornments. You’re a Sadge, so odds are this is one area you simply don’t overdo it. This week, though, express your feelings and emotions matter of factly, and of course with the M.O. of your rockin’ly understated gusto amped up a bit. No need to go to 11… but 10.9 may be just right… for a bit here and there.
solid emotion as a rite of sacred adornment, release to return to support
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19 ~ 7 of Wands
So, are you entertaining going in head long and whole hog into something that is as established in structure as a military formation this week? Well, Cappie… stop matching their established structure with yours. You’ll CREATE a large round peg small square hole environment if you do, and then you won’t or won;t be able to do anything. Just act. Do it. Go ahead, put your right foot in and shake it all about. You need to lighten up this week as you are carrying too much encyclopaedic reason which I would call obesity of thought. This week you need action action action. Heck, take a walk around the block if you need to think. I do not suggest operating the heavy machinery of your mind this week from a chair. You need to be out and about and in motion this week to balance and recalibrate your thoughts with action so they don’t gyroscope-tug you to not be able to steer yourself…or worse, make you all wobbly drunk on too much thought. Don;t let you “I can figure it out” tenacity fool you. Use your “I can do it” zeal. What, you say? Oh, ok. Go for a walk and get some. You have it in you somewhere behind that sandstorm of an intellect you pack in and out of everywhere you go. Can you travel a little lighter this week?
decisive action, strategies, taking charge
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18 ~ The Fool
The Fool? For you? Be mindful of too much of a good thing this week. Your carefree M.O. coupled with a wherever the wind takes you mindset my implode you to stall in an amoeba-like mess of sloppiness. Yeah, yeah, that could be like fingerpaints, though where’s the canvas or paper to put them on. Finger painting in the air with actual paint is a lotta lotta lotta like driving a car with no gas. This week figure out how to more fluidly engage the fluency you have of going with the flow and being the one people like to have around. You might even want to help someone else be the silent light of the party so to speak. Who around you do you know that could benefit from your open and non-punitive nature? Go do that. They may then surprise you with something about you that is just over the moon this week. And, make sure to quit while you are ahead to keep your persepctive. There’s always someone faster out there, so remember the snail riding on the turtle screaming out, “SLOW DOWN, MAN! YOU’RE GONNA KILL US!” Your perspective is key this week more than most.
journey, natural expressions, new directions
Pisces: February 19 – March 20 ~ VIII Justice
Have you weighed your heart against a feather recently? Please tell me you acquitted yourself and are free of shame and guilt. You ARE the court itself this week. YOU make the rules. You set the standards. You are responsible to be the overseer. So, participate by experiencing this week where listening does NOT mean waiting to talk. Listen to people as attentively as a judge and jury would, and then express to them how you feel they can enhance their situation rather than judge it. “Plus” their situation. Assist them to forget what’s wrong, and find true justice of action and consequences…the workability in a situation. Remember, if you know everything that is wrong with something, that leaves you only one thing. Everything else. And, that’s vague and a symptom of the annoying know-it-all at the office or party. See through to the core, the heartbeat of what they are doing, and nourish it. Apply the justice of more life in the term rather than a life term. This week you might want to call yourself The Enhancer. Feel free to wear a superhero costume… you know… underwear on the outside. Though, set aside bail money unless you have a street corner spinner ad to back you up.
balance, befitting, honest is-what-it-isness
Aries: March 21 – April 19 ~ 10 of Pentacles
You have a stronger base than you know this week to brace against to launch your actions. Step wisely, though. Look before you set your feet. How you place yourself this week, even your posture, will be ever so crucial to the effectiveness you bring to your environment, your mix, your life. This week do not get pushed to act. Getting pushed before you act often messes up your aim in the first couple of steps and requires you to get back on course. Avoid playing in to seagull management. You know the type. Flies into the office. Ruffles a lot of feathers. Shits on everything. And, then flies away. I suggest an umbrella of sorts to shield you so you can keep on task. I don’t suggest a lot of smiling and nodding. Buy a red stapler. When the bane of your existence walks up simply say, “Here, take this and come back later. I’m working.” They probably won’t take you up on either, and you can keep rockin’ your pace. If you are self-employed, stop taunting and threatening yourself with that thing you are doing that keeps you tripped up. It’s ok to be afraid to finish things… just don’t be afraid start to finish so you can hand in your work on time. This week may be your time to become the always-afraid Zen Master… always complete, never finished… always complete, never finished. Don’t lose your fear. Nerves are good preparation for activity. They warm you up. This week let F.E.A.R. be Feeling Energized And Ready. Though, move beyond ready and do it up.
solid completion at hand, prosperity, close relationships, ability to share
Taurus: April 20 – May 20 ~ 9 of Swords
The dynamism of how you think and communicate will come more into play this week when you smile at your own foibles. No need to let on what they are. Simply allow them to juice you up with a smile or a chuckle so you more and more really have what the competition is missing. If you are feeling generous, buy some dust masks for your competitors. You’ll be naturally leaving things in the dust this week… though, turn that back on yourself and mind your house. Don’t leave your house in the dust. Assign chores. Hire a housekeeper. Don;t let your environment choke you. With the potential you have bursting at the seams this week, you need to be able to aspirate your engine as cleanly as possible. The little things will have untold powers this week. Just when the big picture looks to be the gig, switch it up and juice up the big picture with the beauty of a detail, and then another. You’re running on all cylinders this week, so make sure you keep the air clear within and about .
nearing completions, dynamism moving out of plateaued communications
Tarot in the Land of Mystereum. Tarot voice and stories. The place where cards literally speak to you. Mystereum. It’s all about discovering your Inner Inheritances. Always complete, never finished. Always complete, never finished.
“Adversity does not build character. It reveals it.” ~ James Lane Allen
Remember, even in a card with no people, there is always one… You looking in through the portal.
… like red and green chile for your soul. Mix it up with Mystereum TarotScopes.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20 ~ 5 of Cups
Be mindful of the emotional weather in the mix in your surroundings this week. Don’t get enmeshed or embroiled in arguments. Look for workability as you float safely up behind the turbulent wave like the seagull, so you can spot the magical starfish, the treasure in the trouble, that otherwise you might miss. What magic are you missing in your situation this week?
Notice the magic starfish, the bottom below-liver risen up to above
Cancer: June 21 – July 22 ~ Page of Cups
This week is a playful one for you. Like the white rope loosely tied be aware of the energetic connection in the dance between your hands as you work. Also, like the tree tips that peek over the white band, peer into the depths to find 2 things in your mix that tend to or simply are hiding in plain sight to sync up with the obvious tree towards the top. How can you heighten your sense of detail this week so glossing over something isn’t an option?
energetic play, letting the crown chakra flow with expert skill in play
Leo: July 23 – August 22 ~ 4 of Pentacles
You are standing tall in the small. Look for presence and experience and expression in the first stages of what you are working on this week rather than going large. Let the simple ground you are walking on be as inspirational as the stars in your sky. How can you make sure the very support structure for your work is set up properly before you proceed further? Measure twice, cut once. Or, for you carpenters out there… “WOW! I’ve cut this board 3 times and it’s STILL too short.” How can you clear the clutter so that only what is necessary is in the structure of your work?
Allow the ground you walk on to be as inspirational as the stars in your sky
Virgo: August 23 – September 22 ~ 5 of Wands
It’s time to find what you have that the competition is missing. Like the kid who put down the wand to celebrate the rainbow that the others miss, find some of the true colors emanating from your most established qualities. Like Goethe expressed, “Never hurry. Never rest.” Note the ploy there. Goethe was probably saying that to fool his competition into telegraphing their pace so he could get ahead. Watch for both rainbows and cosmic pranks this week. How can you see what’s really making mirages this week?
What do you see that everyone else is missing?
Libra: September 23 – October 22 ~ 10 of Pentacles
Solid at home? Solid at work? Solid at play? This week complete things solidly. The things you are bringing to fruition are a great sole focus for your soul this week. Let them come together like those Aerosmith lyrics. Keep your fave music going this week as you’ll be doing some heavy lifting internally most of the week. Gotta keep whatever you consider a rockin’ vibe in the mix to stay fresh. Slowly and methodically move through the various finish lines this week. How can you use the pace you have established even more effectively?
solid completion at hand
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21 ~ 5 of Swords
This week look for missing middles. Realize that when chaos is present there is often nothing centered to hold things together. Let the comms fly, though stay in the eye of any storms this week. Don’t be the first to chime in in unstable situations like that tallest blade of grass that is the first to get cut. How can you note what middles are missing this week so the chaff flies off of communications to open you up to the wheat of the value that is missing?
the eye of the storm, the missing middle, residual fossil impressions
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21 ~ 2 of Pentacles
Look for the most minute and crucially natural connections in things this week. Action action action. Step by step by step. Go deep to find the discipline that best infuses your desires into each and every action you take. Bright things will light up for you this week as you get balanced into a new groove. How can you discover, create, and put together the most minute and crucially natural connections this week?
solid and crucial connection, dna of a situation, full interplay
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19 ~ Knight of Cups
There is a natural support system for you to better cross emotional ground this week. Allow you most naturally regal qualities to honor your past as you remember that your past was once your future. Keep in mind the perpetual present connects you to your roots and also floats your dreams up high for you to build foundations under to give them a place as you make them come true. How can you best be on the move this week as you weave your experiences into your ongoing actions?
incorporating emotions discovered on the move
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18 ~ King of Cups
Extend a hand this week to celebrate the way your emotions naturally lead you forth effectively. Express yourself with the utmost clarity effectively and you won’t have to explain yourself. Do not question your emotions. Clearly open up to infuse your emotions into everything you do simply and directly. How best can you discern which emotions you have are effective versus those emotions that cloud your judgment?
Naturally clarity to lead with feeling, charismatic leader
Pisces: February 19 – March 20 ~ VII The Chariot
YAH! Get thee a movin’ n shakin’ this week! You have brought together a dynamic mix of energies. This week it’s time to put them through their paces. Get things moving and do test runs so you can tune and tailor things at speed. How can you best make a deadline for yourself that informs you of how the dynamism you have put together is operating in real time?
dynamic interplay in the mix at speed, engaging from the side
Aries: March 21 – April 19 ~ Queen of Swords
Discover more deeply how you have a natural leadership present in your communications this week. Put a mirror and a magnifying glass to everything important before taking action. Say only what needs to be said and no more. Use a reduction lens see how to minimize the things in your mix before you remove them. Be more discerning than cautious. How can you more clearly see the fit, finish, and polish of the things that are important to you this week?
No BS, sharp wit clearly expressed on her own time
Taurus: April 20 – May 20 ~ 9 of Pentacles
Can you find the wolf? Can you spot the wormhole? Note the pinkies sharing a pentacle. Explore how you can best get in touch with your most delicate and natural connection this week. How can your best reach in to what is lush and fruitful and dynamic in a solid way this week?
Note the wormhole as an homage reference to The World in the distance like a view from inside an obelisk looking up

Gemini: May 21 – June 20 ~ 9 of Pentacles
overlaps, finery, naturalized
Well Well, aren’t YOU the crux of dynamic solidity this week? Don’t piss it away. A week is only 7 days, and the rest of your life? Priceless. Envision your own 30-second Mastercard commercial. Then, DO IT this week. You won’t finish by any means, though you will be well on your way.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22 ~ 3 of Cups
celebration, dancing, play
Ahhhhh, cummmonnnn! “WTF with you not being the center of attention this week?,” you may think. Just get together with friends and laugh after your work is done every single day this week. The stars are begging me to tell you you need it. So, you need it! Look around. Are you irritated? Well, that is probably a great indicator that you are pissing everyone off as you tend to fill your tanks with responses to your actions. Just stop it! Chillax. Rome wasn’t built in a day, though you may just bring it to ruins in the coming week if you don’t check your neediness. Chillax. You’ll get what you need as the week comes to a close.
Leo: July 23 – August 22 ~ 8 of Pentacles
exquisite work, a completion point like the top of bottom of the breath of an action, magical twilight space between
Your discipline of the ritual to always get people to tell you how much you shine will get in the way this week. Like a cosmic practical joke, the Universe put a mirror in front of you. Better get some shades, or tone it down a notch. It’ll be a great week… if you don’t burn your own eyes out. Narcissus has nothing on you. It is not advised to look at your reflection in water, either.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22 ~ Queen of Swords
shrewdness, exact statements, clear opinions, no bullpoopy
It’s a No-BS week for you. Don’t play your normal and methodical games ’cause you drew the short straw for the week. You may even bore even you this week doing what you do in your abnormally disciplined ways. Get out of your comfort zone and be direct AND CONCISE. No need to wince when your ideas are as sharp as they are this week. Get to the point and dictate them to the Universe pronto. You’re not going to get there if you never take the first step. Go ahead, don’t hold your foot up like that. Step. Step. There you go.
Libra: September 23 – October 22 ~ XIII Death
transformation, Phoenix, renewal
Yeah Yeah Yeah. More transformation for you this week. What a PITA, huh?! Will it ever stop?! Speaking of which, learn to touch yourself differently. The way you touch and connect may have recently changed. Don’t miss something new on the scene within or about you that is complete and present and WHILE the transformation is ongoing. You should honor yourself similarly to boot this week all week. Always complete and whole, never finished. Always complete, never finished.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21 ~ 7 of Pentacles
quiet watchfulness, pause, higher sight within an above
Ahhhhhh, you need sex again. Well, you always do, huh? That’s how everyone knows you’re a Scorp. That’s no secret. Do something overly normal like get on top this week. Yes Yes, I am sure you can think of other positions and directions, too, but for once just try something simple will ya? It’s just once! Everything else will fall into place if you switch it up. I know I know, normal sounds boring, but normal may be your exotic. Give your healthy imagination a rest. There is a depth of above just itchin’ to hook up with you.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21 ~ Knight of Swords
generating ideas, being well-placed, incorporating
LOL. Your continuous bender of keeping on working through lunch from noon until 1p and thereby skipping lunch is marring your progress. F**k it and just stop it! You’re not 5 hours ahead of everyone on Friday. You’re tired and worn. Your days need to become more precious than your evenings. Breakfast is important to your days. Lunch is important to your weekends. You know what I mean. And, don’t work AT lunch, either. Break your day into two shorter days. Your inner sprinter might just start getting more effectively accurate.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19 ~ King of Swords
Blends in seamless communicative synchromesh, healthy and discerning, logical and fair
There is a contrary feel to your card with the stars this week. Stop trying to be the ultimate communicator and stop and listen to yourself BEFORE you speak. Control. You always have to be in control. What’s up with that? I say F**k a bunch of that this week and let go. It’s not like you are actually going to let go and feel into your life. So, while you ignore my advice, please fascinate yourself with a metronome at 120bpm. It oughta kick you into a boredom with inherent structure where you may just find an eyebrow-up-faster-fascination with feel. This will amp your effectiveness with your natural devil in the details.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18 ~ XII The Hanged Man
I give you a place of your own to clearly float fully supported in your mind activating your crown chakra.
Look. You’re always just hanging around and pretty available. That’s why people like you. You ebb as good as you flow. Oops. Problem! Not this week. Stop being the one who is always fine with everything… don’t you notice you are typically fine with everything for long periods until you blow up? Well, others do. Give yourself a good dose of specificity this week. Call it a hassle of a vacation from your norm. You can thank me next week.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20 ~ Page of Swords
curiosity, new developments, zeal
Always the depthful one, you are keeping communication interesting. This week, though, your silences and intensely watery gaze aren’t going to garner the respect that you must be thinking something through like normal. This week, your silences just might be perceived as apathy. Get in there this week. If you don’t, next week you may feel like someone robbed your depths. Step up your communication focus in a new way. Seems to me that you’ll become an electromagnet if you do.
Aries: March 21 – April 19 ~ III The Empress
fresh, nurturing, bringing to life, the Yoniverse from which all emanates
Hey there active Yoniverse from which all else emanates. You have quite the immune chart this week. Keep doing what you’re doing and step it up in ways that are relatively anonymous. Add an inner metronome for philanthropy so no-one knows you are giving more than you are receiving. You have a grand opportunity to spider-web make people shine to catalyze themselves this week. Call it a tithe week while you still do what you normally do. Call it My Week As A Superhero. No need to take off the glasses for anyone. Just enjoy their rockin’ surprise anonymously.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20 ~ 10 of Wands
balanced courage, agility, grace
Look! You are carrying too much and trying to hold it all together this week. BUT! You are prone to being pig-headed this week rather than your normally confident bull-headed. Mind the scale of where you place yourself and are placed. Aim your horns up rather than your truffle-finding snout down. You have almost too much going on this week. Screw the eye of the tiger. Find your own eye of and in the storm and work from that space. It’s all about air traffic control for you this week.

The 6 of Pentacles’ Pentacle Juggling Team sent me an Inner Voicemail message today. As I watched them through the card portal up in their Mystereum sky spin-juggling their Pentacles, a chord composed of both of their voices drifted down to me…
(c) 2010 Jordan Hoggard The exchange of an epic spiral of giving and receiving.
“Note the health of your relationships by how naturally you feel a reciprocal exchange inherent, how wonderfully you feel an epic spiral of giving and receiving. Without having to keep count, feel the solid balance in our healthy exchange. Feel into yours. Gift yourself the quality to not be afraid to receive. Give smilingly. Receive graciously. Depletion indicates misspent efforts.”
