Augury

On the negotiating table

For the month of May I’m going to come at the augury from a different angle. Instead of a general look at the month, I want to look ahead with a purpose. So I’m asking the cards for suggested ways of better flourishing for May. The cards responded with… Seek to fill your heart withContinue reading “On the negotiating table”

Almost hanging by a thread

I stood before my kitchen table, shuffled the cards with April in mind, and laid them down. I confess, looking back now at March’s augury it was propitious that the cards called for temperance and a re-positioning of our chessboard, as all this pandemic and quarantine business loomed on the horizon. And now poised forContinue reading “Almost hanging by a thread”

The art of temperance

Back again with the monthly auguries, as March is already underway. The month of March has us looking back at the gains born out of our compromises, out of accord. The benefits of a steady and consistent gait, and an unswerving attention to detail. Placing the question before us, how to carry this discipline forward?Continue reading “The art of temperance”

Bright candle in the dark

I’m back again with this month’s augury. This one is extra something more, because as I am writing these words I’m considering for myself, the end of a decade and of a long and arduous year. Also, Jupiter just moved into Capricorn. All of his adds to the clanging bell quality of this transition pointContinue reading “Bright candle in the dark”

Tangled hearts at the crossroads

This month’s augury is coming into play a bit later than expected, as I’ve found myself with lots on my plate. So here, 11 days into October, is the omen. Tangled hearts in riddled messages of crossed desires stay the course. October is an interesting month for matters near and dear. We find ourselves stillContinue reading “Tangled hearts at the crossroads”

A retreat within

I wanted to wait until the first week of July passed before posting this month’s augury. I felt there was just too much in the air, the atmosphere was electric, at least over here on my end. Therefore, just as the week is ending I’m here with a quick look at July slinging the fieryContinue reading “A retreat within”

In the alembic

June and summer are officially here, it is uncommonly hot and the sun beaming down has become relentless. As I type this I hear a cacophony of honking horns in the distance. An example of the madness heat creates when concentrated. I’m also at this month’s augury which will be brought to you by theContinue reading “In the alembic”

Basking in sweet waters

Looking back, April was a month of action and movement, a month of beginnings being put into play. Ideas erupted into the forefront, each fighting for attention and implementation. In contrast, this month of May foretells to be one of healing and connection, with an especial Taurean† flavor. This might sound frilly but the abundanceContinue reading “Basking in sweet waters”

Galloping with the winds of change

April is upon us then, sometimes it feels like months creep up on me. March was, well, better than February for me, and here is April already showing more force and initiative. Good. The knight of cups has a desire, to hone his vision and commit in order to fortify that which he seeks toContinue reading “Galloping with the winds of change”

Aiming for the heart

I’ve been using the Centennial Smith-Waite Tarot of late, keeping it next to me on my night table and going deeper in my connection with the deck. Thus I will be using the deck for this month’s augury. This month simmers with questions of authority and power. Swinging spears and coming up against what remainsContinue reading “Aiming for the heart”
