Astrology and the Tarot

Aries

This is the initial creative impulse, a burst of Energy. It’s manner is aggressive, often with a child-like naivete-much like the Fool Card.
People born under the Aries sign are fearless because they are unaware and ignorant of the danger they face. Because of their enthusiasm, they are geared for action.

Taurus

Taurus energy is more stable, practical, and productive. The act in a more conservative manner, often deliberately and obstinately. Like the Emperor who sits on his throne, the Taurus feels it must be done his way or not at all!

Gemini

Communication is a way of life for a person born under the Gemini sign. Curiosity, adaptability, flexibility and versatility are all characteristics of Gemini.

Cancer

This is a protective, nourishing energy that has a desire to establish a strong base of operation. A Cancer can be moody, possessive and quite the homebody-even if it is at the office. Communication is a vital part of the Cancer.

Leo

This is a sign that needs-no, demands- identity, Individuality and creative outlets. Being a sun Energy, the Leo shows strong vibrant control. As the Strength card shows, Leo has a gentle sense of the use of that control.

Virgo

Virgos bring the need to analyze almost to a fault. The manner of a Virgo is practical, efficient and sometimes comes across as cold and aloof. The perfection side of this sign lends itself to a wonderful creative talent. Often this person is a seeker of perfection. The Hermit card is perfect to represent our Virgos. The Hermit is the seeker-teacher who is going into the light.

Libra

Cooperation, balance, justice, and Karma all are key words for this sign. The Justice card expresses this need for balance and proper use of it’s power while taking care of the karma involved with this lifetime.

Scorpio

Transformation is the strength of the Scorpio. They are controlled, passionate with great emotional intensity. They are blunt and genuine, yet can be vindictive- all in the name of protecting a very sensitive heart. The Death card represents Scorpio. Death speaks of constant Change.

Saggitarius

This sign allows expansion, perspective and challenge of growth. Free, almost to the point of recklessness, enthusiastic, almost to the point of excess. All is for the love of life or self, if not a balanced personality. Temperance reminds the Saggitarius energy to be patient and kind to self and others. Growth happens in spite of self.

Capricorn

This energy brings structure and limitations. However, the tendency is to establish efficiency through self-control. The ambitious Capricorn works seriously and orderly. He can be ruthless and unsympathetic, as is shown in the Devil card. This energy challenges one's intent.

Aquarius

This sign brings a universal outlook and has a tendency to align with groups, to act unconditionally and be a bit rebellious. The Aquarian may be cold and unexpressive, while still feeling deeply. The Star card expresses the spiritual intent and accomplishments of the Aquarian.

Pisces

This energy is intuitive, sensitive, and on an emotional plateau. This dual, sometimes confused energy can be either self-defeating or very self-indulgent. But, as the Moon card indicates, the Pisces is always soul searching and learning from his experiences.
