New Year Tarot Reading Special and Moving-Day Fundraiser

If all goes well, I will soon no longer be homeless. After nearly a year of this shit, I may soon have a roof over my head. A real one, with rooms and a kitchen and everything. But notice the qualifier "if all goes well". This, as usual, means money. So to that end I'm raising funds by offering Tarot/Astrology readings for the New Year in exchange for donations - the amount to be determined by you.

Today's Card: The Sun

I drew the Sun card today, and who couldn't use a little sunshine now and then. This card is pretty much everything you'd expect from a Sun card: warmth, happiness, comfort, success. Drawing this card made me want to see what the sun was up to in my astrological charts:

New G+ Page

The Tarot Sloth now has it's own G+ page. It's a work in progress.

Today's Card: Page of Pentacles

Today Mars is conjunct my natal Uranus, which is probably just the energy I needed to get me off my ass and write this blog post. This transit is going on in Virgo, which is an earthy sign, great for detailed work and hopefully this means the Mars/Uranus energy won't be wasted, but will manifest as something positive.

The Moon Will Fuck You Up

Today's card is the Moon and I hope it means I can have some drugs today but in truth I'm not seeing much hope for it. Usually when I draw the Moon card it means having an anxiety attack and I will admit to feeling anxious today. I have a couple of deadlines bearing down on me, and am facing a foodless weekend, but I have to remember it's nothing I haven't faced before. I can handle the deadlines one step at a time, and the hunger pangs will end on Monday when I'll be paid enough to shop the Taco Bell dollar menu once more.

So today the Moon enters my 4th house, right at home there all Cancerian an'shit. And the Moon is also square my natal Neptune, which is absolutely personified by the Moon card - deception or self-deception, issues from the past, hidden influences, confusion, anxiety, the desire to escape one's circumstances. Yup.

Today's Card is the King of Swords

As court cards go, this is one of my favorites. The King of Swords is sexy, intelligent, shows good judgment, is ethical and strong in his ideals and opinions. He's honest, principled and is an excellent wordsmith. A good card to draw when I have writing to do - and I'm hoping to have a lot of writing to do today, both paid writing and fiction writing. I need this king today.

Mercury is sextile my natal sun today, a good aspect for speaking, writing and communicating.

Today's Card: Two of Pentacles

The Two of Pentacles traditionally pictures a juggler, juggling two disks or pentacles. The motion of the pentacles suggests the pattern of the infinity symbol. This card is often interpreted as juggling many activities with ease, being able to cope with many things at once.
