A card we don&#8217;t like to see. That&#8217;s my idea of Sunday night fun. So I&#8217;m flipping through my deck because I didn&#8217;t want to write about the <strong>Five of Cups<\/strong> (which I pulled) even though Five of Cups IS a gruesome card. I&#8217;m not in the mood. I want something more dramatic.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Here we go. <strong>THE MAGICIAN<\/strong>. And, no, I wouldn&#8217;t call this a gruesome card but a juicy one! <em>Is he really a Magician?<\/em> Or a tricky dick? Is he serving the Divine? Or his ego? And can he tell the difference? Can YOU?<\/p>\n<p>When you see this card, you have to ask yourself those questions. <strong>Forget about using Reversed cards,<\/strong> my friends. Divine the meaning straight-up. LEARN the Reversed meanings, yes. But intuit them. You&#8217;ll know if those tools on his table are for real or a sham. Whether that sword can cut. Whether the wine is water. If the Pentacle is a penny. And that Wand? Heh.<\/p>\n<p>*<br \/>\nThe astrology is pretty gruesome though! An exact <strong>Uranus Pluto square<\/strong> today and a week from today Uranus goes direct. Why do I sound so chipper then? Here&#8217;s a thought: we&#8217;re in transit now. We&#8217;re safe. We haven&#8217;t reached the shore. We haven&#8217;t reached the station. The past is gone. The future is wrapped up in Uranus going direct &#8212; the bullet train of all transits. It comes; it conquers. We&#8217;ve got a week reprieve. Maybe.<\/p>\n<p>Also, next week (and I&#8217;ll address this in more detail) is the Solstice and the <strong>New Moon in Capricorn<\/strong> at a very special ZERO degrees. How&#8217;s that for a new start? Begin the begin.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/inthecards\/files\/2014\/12\/magician1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-465\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/372\/2014\/12\/magician1-150x300.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;uranus square pluto&quot; \" width=\"150\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>*<br \/>\n<strong>The Magician is a commander<\/strong>. THE commander of the Tarot deck. He doesn&#8217;t dream like the High Priestess. He&#8217;s not an addict like the Devil. He&#8217;s not Fool-foolish or stick-up-his-you-know-what Emperor or Hierophant MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY. The Magician doesn&#8217;t care what you do. The Magician doesn&#8217;t have a law for you. The Magician is too busy to care. He also has great hair. The infinity symbol is his consort. Does it get any better?<\/p>\n<p>But, as we discussed, the potential dark side here is that he&#8217;s nothing but the red caped manager of a hardware store, not a power tool in sight. Not that I have anything against managers or hardware stores but we want the Magician to BE what he seems. Not just seem what he is.<\/p>\n<p><em>Wishing you good cards xx\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>*<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCdSw5r9Irx7yl4FXOM6ESWw\/feed\" target=\"_blank\">My YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/moonplutonyc\/\" target=\"_blank\">My Instagram<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/moonpluto.land\" target=\"_blank\">My Facebook<br \/>\nEmail me at MoonPluto@gmail for info about my Tarot &amp; Astrology Readings<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like writing about one of the more gruesome cards.
