I am beginning to become worried about the lack of activity in the skies.

The occasional week or two is to be expected, but when it drags on this long I begin to wonder, are the stars silent, or have I gone deaf?  Has being trapped inside stunted my psychic growth?  Is spending so much time in my home — filled with so many comforts, distractions and delights — caused my Third Eye to close out of laziness?  Or perhaps (and I think this is probably the most likely) so many people engaging in irrational and unscientific panic is filling the aether with Stupid and inhibiting my oracular observations?  While it is possible to screen out ‘tard radiation, the materials required are either very expensive or require a great deal of upkeep, so this home has not been so equipped.

Aries finally gets its due with a burst of good luck early in the week as Mercury comes calling.  Venus’s path through Gemini shows a very good month for the polyamorous ones (with a nasty hiccup in May, but we’ll get to that then — no use borrowing trouble).  The only really disturbing thing new this week is the Moon in Sagittarius.  Sagittarius represents The Archer (discipline, control, vision, truth) and is usually represented as a Centaur (prophecy, knowledge, stability).  To put the waning (diminishment) moon (vacillation, change, inconstancy) smack dab in the middle of it means conflict in the skies, and thus conflict on the Earth.

The cards are also ambivalent, with signs of a strong and harmonious household coupled with what might be the absolute worst draw in re: conjugal life I’ve ever seen.

Aries:  Page of Cups –  News, message, application, reflection, meditation

Taurus:  Queen of Swords – Widowhood, female sadness and embarrassment, absence, sterility, mourning, privation, separation

Gemini:  Queen of Wands – A dark woman, countrywoman, friendly, chaste, loving, honorable. If the card beside her signifies a man*, she is well disposed towards him. Also, love of money, or a certain success in business

Cancer:  The Magician* reversed –  Physician, magus, mental disease, disgrace, disquiet

Leo:  2 of Wands reversed –  Surprise, wonder, enchantment, emotion, trouble, fear

Virgo:  9 of Wands reversed – Obstacles, adversity, calamity

Libra:  5 of Cups reversed  – News, alliances, affinity, consanguinity, ancestry, return, false projects

Scorpio:  The Lovers reversed –  Failure, foolish designs, marriage frustrated, contrarieties

Sagittarius:  Ace of Wands reversed – Fall, decadence, ruin, perdition, to perish

Capricorn:  The Star reversed – Arrogance, haughtiness, impotence

Aquarius:  Ace of Cups reversed – False heart, mutation, instability, revolution

Pisces:  10 of Coins reversed – Chance, fatality, loss, robbery, games of hazard, gift, dowry, pension
