The Nine of Coins is a card of mature development, stability, and progress. A woman stands in a serene vineyard, enjoying abundance and admiring her parrot.

Significators
A significator is a tarot card, chosen by tradition or by inquiry, that you select to represent yourself. It may represent how you see yourself and the qualities within you, it may resemble you physically, or it may symbolize qualities within yourself that you want to develop. You can use your significator in all personal [...]
Just One Card: Ten of Swords
I’m supposed write about a difficult card today. I say this because I drew a card to write this post, said to myself “this is too complicated a topic to write a quick post about,” and tried again. And got this instead. I hope this touches something important for you, because I wanted to write [...]
Just One Card: The High Priestess
The moon is in Pisces all day today, and our minds are flying after an early-morning trine between Mercury and Neptune. This is a good day to let your mind wander a bit, and follow along behind instead of telling it where to go. The High Priestess card is connected to the moon. As one [...]
Just One Card: Justice
It’s fitting that I drew this card in the midst of Libra season. The Justice card is connected to the sign of Libra and relates to fairness, equality, justice (in all forms), legal matters, and objectivity. Last week, especially the span between Wednesday and Friday, was a potent time for Libran matters in everyone’s life. [...]

The sun joined Saturn in the sky a few hours ago. You may be feeling stagnant, like your life is all work and no play these days, or maybe you’re eager to put your nose to the grindstone and get things done. This is a time when we are confronted with our limitations and responsibilities, [...]
Just One Card: Six of Cups
Happy equinox! Tonight at 8:09pm the sun enters the sign of Libra, and the new season officially begins. The astrological year begins with the spring equinox in March, so we are at the midpoint of our annual trip through the zodiac. You can think of today as the sunset of the year, or perhaps as [...]
On Retreat.
Today El Pisces and I are leaving on Secret Vacation—secret because he still has no earthly idea where we are going—so I will be a little bit out of touch for the next ten days. I really wish I could tell you where we’re going right now, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise [...]
Just One Card: The Hermit
The Hermit card is connected to Virgo, and to solitude. Take some time for yourself today; carve out at least a few minutes where you’re not solving other people’s problems. A few things to scratch your head over: Creativity is about death and rebirth- our new ideas are born from the ashes of our old [...]
