You have the Cancer Moon in your house of partnerships and relationships today, Capricorn, and so your focus will be on primary relationships today, in a positive and loving way. And this is how you should approach all partnerships today, from a place of love. With the Cancer Moon in this placement today, your long-term commitments could be put to the test, and you should go through these experiences with an emotional center, not a rational one. Information could come to you today that helps you make the best choice. What information are you hoping for?

Good news while I talk to the bank....

Your card today @KatzWh1skers , the Ten of Wands.
It may seem odd that the suit of Wands ends not with the same fiery energy that it started out with, but with almost a complete opposite of that energy. The Ace of Wands was quick and unrestrained, but the Ten shows the weight of burdens upon one's shoulders. Where the rest of the Wands dealt with the creative expression and use of one's willpower, on the Ten this power is blocked, and you are forced to live under someone else's will rather than your own. But there is a logical explanation for this card's appearance at the end of the Wands suit.

We must always keep in mind that fire is, at its basest level, a force of destruction. And when you wield the power of fire for long enough, you are going to get burned, as inevitably as the fire will spend its fuel and be reduced to a few glowing embers. The wise rule and well-used power of the previous cards have gone out of control and have become tyranny; the desire to succeed and the determination to go forward with your head held high has left, and now you must stumble or crawl. In a more Qabalistic sense, the energy has been detatched from its spiritual source and has become corrupt.
However, sometimes this process shown in the Ten of Wands is a lesson that you must learn. Responsibility is a great character-builder, and by bearing physical burdens you often find that emotional burdens will fall away. You will lose your ego when you ask for help, and you will lose your limitations as you reach and surpass them. But you also have to learn when enough is enough, and when it is time to get out from under your burdens. When your creativity starts to suffer it may never regain its original dimensions again, and once creativity is gone, the will is next to go.
Sometimes the Ten of Wands is a good card to appear, because it can indicate where you are spinning your wheels and wasting your energy. It is often a sign that, no matter how long you stick to a task, victory is unlikely or even impossible. In these circumstances the best advice is to simply walk away. Leaving responsibilities unfinished is not a notion that appears to coalesce with the overall morality of the Wands suit, but sometimes doing what you have to do is far more necessary than doing what you'd like to do. So go out there, do what you have to do, and hopefully you can get a little closer to those things that you want to do.

We have the Leo Moon in your house of secrets and sharing today, Capricorn. And this is going to make conversations have a special little spark today. This is a good thing, so try not to fear it. As a Cardinal Earth Sign you tend to be a little walled up when it comes to emotional conversations. So take some baby steps in this way today, Capricorn, especially if you are trying to get a little closer to someone. Who do you want to get closer to, Cap?

LOL, anyone in the real world, talking is hard.

My card today, The Tower
Sometimes, when accepted and welcomed, divine wisdom and enlightenment flow freely like a calm river. The rest of the time, wisdom is blocked until it rages forth like a tidal wave and crushes anything in its path, including the recipient of the wisdom. This is the energy of the Tower card, an energy very similar to Death in that it is both a destructive and a creative force. When a building is old and decrepit, it must be demolished so that a new structure may stand in its place. The same is true of the symbolic Tower. When old attitudes and beliefs are outdated, you will have to let go of them, whether you like it or not.

In most cases, the latter is true - you do not want to give up your ideals, and you cling to them like a child to his precious security blanket. This attempt at security ensures nothing, really, except a disastrous change that will painfully rip away that which you did not discard of your own volition. But there is a greater purpose at work here. The power of the soul and the mind is far greater than the energy of some physical thing, and it can be taken with you anywhere and always. To extend the security blanket analogy, the blanket must be taken away so the child can find power and security within himself, instead of within some material object.

Your card today @KatzWh1skers , The Empress
The Empress represents a departure from the dualistic philosophy of the first three Major Arcana, as well as from the strongly spiritual teachings of those three cards. Rather than simple dichotomies of positive and negative, the Tarot now starts dealing with the unification of spirit, mind and body. The Empress is the latter leg of this triad, representing the physical body and the material world. From her comes all the pleasure of the senses and the abundance of life in all its forms. She is also the mother archetype, and through her we get a first glimpse of the power of love in the Tarot.

The world of the Empress is an ideal and perfectly beautiful place, totally natural, untouched by artificial colors, lights or sounds. This is a place of bounty and fertility, a living representation of the process of creation and birth that the Empress herself symbolizes. She doesn't just live in this place, she is this place, just as much as the Priestess is the balance that keeps apart positive and negative. The Empress is no less beautiful than the flowers that throw their scent across her fields, no less fertile than the soil that lies underneath her throne. If anything represents the idea of Mother Earth in the Tarot, then it is the Empress.
Her primary power, like the two Arcana before her, is the power of creation. But her creation is not based on creating the world she wishes to live in, or the person she wants to be, because she has that world and is that person. She creates life in all its myriad forms. The Empress is the archetype of the mother, the ultimate creator and giver of life; thus her associations can be extended beyond creativity into fertility, pregnancy and the daunting task of motherhood, which she always faces with a smile and a happy heart. She takes pleasure in all things, particularly her own creations - and everything in nature is her own creation.

My card for the day is the number 0.........the fool..........I best be careful.......
50a308ca2056b0ddadaae06946665af7.jpg

The Fool Tarot card is a card of potential, new beginnings and innocence. This Tarot card shows the highest potential for your life, reaching a state of renewal and new beginnings, where each day is an adventure and each moment is lived to the fullest. The Fool card represents the beginning of all creativity and a desire to accomplish new goals (or to, at least, start the process of working towards those goals). The Fool indicates that anything can happen and the opportunities are just waiting to be taken advantage of.

In a Tarot reading, the Fool represents the need to set forth on a new journey, one that is completely unknown and will take you to uncharted territories. The Fool is all about new experiences, personal growth, development and adventure. The Fool Tarot card asks you to take a ‘leap of faith’ and to trust in the Universe in that if you begin a new journey, you will find success. This Fool lives a carefree life, free from worry and anxiety. He does not seem to mind if he does not really know what lies ahead.

The Fool Tarot card may represent a choice to be made—one of vital importance. However, there are always many different options available and the choice must be made wisely. If you are facing a decision or moment of doubt, the Fool encourages you to believe in yourself and follow your heart no matter how crazy or foolish your impulses may seem. This is a time when you need to truly ‘believe’ and have faith in where the Universe is taking you.

The Fool is an excellent Tarot card to meditate on if you are experiencing a lot of fear in your life. The Fool enhances courage, risk-taking and the creative expression needed to open up new areas in your life.

The Fool is always whole, healthy and without fear. He is the spirit of who we are, the spirit expressed and experienced as wonder, awe, curiosity and anticipation. We never know what is in the future but like the Fool we must blindly go forward. You need to trust that you are a spirit born into flesh to enjoy life and grow in experience. Take a chance and see what happens.

It's an emotional day for you, Capricorn, and also a bit of a confusing one. Venus and Neptune form a sextile today, in your first house of Self. So you may spend a lot of time today thinking about who you are as a person, and your place in the world. If you need that time, take it. And follow your inspirations today. Neptune turns direct as well today, amplifying these emotions for you. Your inspirations are guiding you well today, Capricorn, don't reject them because they don't seem logical. What are they telling you?
Exactly emotional.....

My card for the day is the 3 of Pentacles........a good card for today I think.....I have so many things set in motion......I need to keep working on them till I get what I am working for.......

2e0be0a2f97eae2e71330c051046e85e.jpg

The Three of Pentacles, like the Threes in the other suits, represents the initial completion of a goal or plan. In this case, the Three implies the fulfilment and manifestation of a creative venture, business, or building project. The inspiration of the individual (i.e. the mason) is beginning to be concreted in the material world, and the decisions of the two (i.e. the two monks) have been made successfully. An initial satisfaction is now being enjoyed and the project is well underway. You have all of the skills necessary to accomplish your goals in life, thus you have the ability to succeed in all your ventures. You are keen to improve the quality of your life or your work.

The message of the Three of Pentacles is one of encouragement. If you continue to work toward the fulfilment of your dreams and do not allow disillusionment to dampen your enthusiasm, ultimately you will experience prosperity and success in your goals. You need to do work that is satisfying to you and that you can be truly proud of. What new beginnings are you experiencing in the material realm? Is there some project or creative venture you have been putting off because of fear of failure? The Three of Pentacles indicates that dreams can be made real with persistence, determination, and effort.

The Three of Pentacles may also suggest that you need help to complete your work and can draw on the knowledge and experience of others. It may be beneficial to share your work with a partner but only if they are as conscientious as you.

At the core of the Three of Pentacles is the notion of teamwork and collaboration. In the card, we see a young mason working hard on building part of the cathedral. The two monks enter, with their worldly knowledge and spiritual understanding to bring a new perspective to the mason’s work. Even though their backgrounds, experience levels and knowledge is very different, they are able to come together to share their expertise in a way that creates synergy and improved results. There is no ‘us and them’ or any sense of superiority. Rather, each person has something unique to offer and is willing to learn from others involved in the project. Everyone is getting the job done together and is contributing to the group through effective listening and sharing. This is a positive card to see when teamwork, collaboration and cooperation are required between parties with different levels of experience.

The Three of Pentacles also points to the importance of feedback. The mason is open to listening to the monks and taking on their feedback on his progress so far. His primary goal is to do a great job, and he knows that the monks will be able to help him get there. He does not take it personally but uses their feedback and input to continually improve in his work.

Effective planning, management and organisation are also key components of the Three of Pentacles. In order to accomplish significant goals, such as building a monumental cathedral, it is imperative that detailed planning occurs to ensure that all the components are progressing well. This card therefore reflects a time when it is essential to create a detailed plan and to follow a schedule. This is when good project management will pay off.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the opportunities you are trying to build on today won’t be either. As the practical leader of the Earth Signs, you don’t get too involved with the mushy emotional stuff, and sometimes you flat out run away from it. Try a new approach under today's Leo Moon. This Moon is in your house of secrets and sharing, and this means you have some real opportunities to get closer with someone in your world, and information will be the superpower that allows you to do that. How will you do that today, Cap?
Thinking about trying to write some more today, a ton in the head and need to let it get out, so it can move forward.

My card today, the Page of Pentacles.
The Page of Pentacles is the most responsible of the Pages, a trait which is shared by all the Pentacles court cards because of their Earth nature. The fact that someone so young can be so down-to-earth and ready to accept great responsibility is a rare event, and a Page of Pentacles in your midst is a rare and welcome sight. Though he may only be concerned with the immediate benefits of wealth, the Page still manages it far better than the majority of adults do. He can appear, like the other Pages, in one of three ways. He can be an event, a person in your life, or a part of your own personality.

Your card today, @KatzWh1skers the Nine of Pentacles.
Nine is a number of perfection and completion; the Nine of Pentacles shows both of these, in both the material and spiritual realms. Though primarily a materialistic card, as all the Pentacles are, it does bear a spiritual side as well. A lifetime of work and refinement brings not only material rewards, but wisdom and satisfaction as well. Abundance in material wealth leads to abundance in emotion, and that leads eventually to abundance in spirit. This relationship is reversible too, for through spiritual development we gain the means to become even richer.

The main focus of the Nine of Pentacles, again, is on the material plane. It shows a solid financial base, assured security and comfort. This is the natural end of the choice made on the Seven and the hard work of the Eight. Sometimes it will come through windfall or inheritance but in the majority of cases it must be earned and fought for. This provides the responsibility necessary to manage your new wealth, and the experience to decide what to do with it now. A certain degree of self-discipline is implied by the Nine, and with this self-discipline comes the assurance that your wealth will not be wasted or squandered.

Your deck @liblue1 said to finally pull them out and go, your card today, the Two of Wands
After the initial power of the Ace enters your life, that power must be shaped and directed towards the area in your life where it will be most useful. This is the energy of the Two of Wands, a card of applied power. A cohesive vision of the final destination starts to form, and though this first impression may be incorrect, that really does not matter at this time. There will be plenty of time to change your course later if you are not heading in the direction you want to be. What is important now is to get moving towards your goals, whatever those are.

This card deals a lot with the power of the Will to accomplish great things in the world. Without the initial vision there can be no final success, and without determination the goal can never be reached. The Two of Wands is a card that embodies that determination to go out into the world and succeed. It is much the same as the Magician's power, so the color scheme of the Two of Wands often resembles the Magician's. On the Rider-Waite version, the red and white flowers on the stone tile match the Magician's robes. This is the energy of the Magician brought down to a more manageable level, a level at which you can direct its course.

The Moon is in fellow Earth Sign Virgo today, Capricorn, and this has you feeling stable and secure. But you could be feeling a little restless today, with some Uranus and Mars energy in play as well. Follow that drive, and the optimism when you find it. Jupiter is ushering in some luck for you as well. Virgo Moon in your ninth house of foreign affairs has you thinking long term, and Jupiter luck in your tenth house of career may just seal the deal on something wonderful. What are you hoping that is, Cap?

See if one who owes me actually starts to pay me off in sections, and find if my friend passed his test and can tell me what truly is in it to study properly to upgrade my license.

My card today, the Four of Pentacles.
It is the nature of the Pentacles suit - and indeed, the nature of the human being - to favor tradition and be apprehensive of change. After all, change can upset the security and balance that we are taught to achieve, and once we have found success, shouldn't we try to keep it? Such a philosophy has led to many people staying successful, but it has also led to others losing everything they hoped to preserve. To try and fight change is a task which ultimately proves futile. The fear of loss may certainly prevent loss, but it also prevents further gain.

The Four of Pentacles can show times of material security and happiness, and it often marks a time of financial gain, either earned through work or simply acquired from another source, such as inheritance. It is a card of earthly power, but with no accompanying emotional or spiritual gain. This is where its meaning starts to take a more negative turn. Without the wisdom to help you manage your material assets, you will either squander them or start to hoard them. Both will lead to frustration and disappointment. Power without the knowledge to use that power frequently harms the user.
