You navigated through yesterday’s challenges better than expected … well done!  On the career and work front, your diligence is paying off.  In fact, in all other aspects of your life today, people are noticing the quality in what you do … so whatever it is that you’re doing, it’s working for you so keep on keepin’ on!  Your work is appreciated and generally well regarded.  If you’re job-hunting, better prospects may surface today.  On the dating front, mutual acquaintances at work or through friends will introduce you to someone to whom you will be attracted because s/he possesses qualities/characteristics that you’ve been seeking in a partner.  If you’re in a relationship, know that yesterday’s reserve now reveals a renewed attraction to one another today.  Fair remuneration on the finances front is on the horizon and your ship feels like it’s about to come in, so to speak … hooray!  And, because you’ve been watchful about your health, your diligence pays off in you now feeling better in the body.  Spiritually, the call to seek more esoteric knowledge resounds strongly … you don’t have to join a group or organization to expand your horizons, unless it piques your fancy.  Trust that your independent researching capabilities will uncover more answers to further your spiritual understanding.

Yesterday’s revelations uncover mixed feelings about life in general and some people in particular.  The number 5 indicates conflict, both within and outside you, and that makes YOU your own worst enemy today.  So, mind your tongue … even though you ought to not ignore what you’ve uncovered, you also don’t want to alienate the very things you’ve wanted the most, such as close, intimate relationships with certain friends and lover.  Really think twice before opening your mouth and letting someone have it, even though s/he might deserve it.  Pick your battles.  Someone you care about might be going away for a while and, even though you don’t want to see him/her leaving, know that s/he is coming back to you.  Watch yourself at work and don’t be too opinionated, even if there is some unfairness going on.  How you speak your mind is as important as what you say … so make sure your behavior is impeccable.  You might find that your new love interest isn’t working out as you initially thought it might … don’t shoot from the hip, and think hard about what are deal-breakers for you.  If you’re already in a relationship, you might be feeling in the mood for a fight.  Again, hold your tongue.  Yesterday’s gambling spree might have gotten you into trouble, so be conservative today.  If you find you need help, put your pride aside and ask for it because there is always someone around that can definitely assist you through this situation.  Overall, be gentle with yourself … if you’re angry, find a way to blow off the steam in a way that won’t take any heads.  Drop worrying and guilt; these emotions never serve you.  Opt for ways to relax and “let it go to bring back the flow.”

The Magician is a powerful sign of The Fool’s higher aspects of his/her journey as a reminder that all is within your grasp, if only you set your mind to it and try.  Have you noticed a lot of synchronicities occurring around you now? You create all that your heart looks-to.  At work, new opportunities for better work opportunities are on the rise in the form of a new position.  Your creativity and suggestions are being met with excellent comprehension and this vibe leads to bigger and better work opportunities.  New love interests are also surfacing so get out there and meet people.  If you’re in a long-term relationship, you and your partner are bonding more closely on a deeper, spiritual level.  Money is on an upswing and this trend coincides with what is happening at work.  Even if things don’t feel like they’re opening up at work, there are now opportunities to do side jobs that bring in more income.  The Magician also signifies strength in the body, so if your health has taken a dip, know that you are snapping out of it soon … particularly if you’ve decided to pursue an alternative form of therapy.  And, speaking of alternatives, your research into more spiritual matters is paying off in revealing new levels of knowledge and understanding … a most satisfying time to enjoy this expansion of your spirit now.

All events and all people are connected, however, not everything that you’re dealing with is a direct result of your own actions or karma.  This includes having to deal with a situation not of your own making, so don’t take on the blame in those situations, either.  Balance is necessary in order to thrive.  The Justice card implies the need for law and order, fairness and clarity.  If you’e involved in a court matter, you have a good chance at a favorable outcome. At work, ensure that your work/life balance is where it needs to be.  Both sides of living need equal attention. If you’re questioning your long-term relationships, then the answer of “balance” means it’s time for more attention paid to what you need to feel fulfilled and happy … if your partner is unwilling to compromise or contribute more of his/her fair share to work things out, then perhaps the relationship has effectively ended.  If you’re just getting into a relationship, then the question of commitment is soon to be a topic for consideration.  As for your health, “moderation is not just for monks”, so be sensible about living in the moment and wield more self-control.  Today is a good day for games of chance and gaining a small windfall, so do a little gambling.  If you don’t gamble, then a windfall might be realized from unexpected sources.  Either way, spend that extra cash wisely.  Spiritually, can you be in the world, but not of the world?  Remain grounded by staying in the moment and work on clarifying your perspective on life to remain centered.

The Hierophant is counseling you to trust your intuition to “do the right thing.”  The Emperor’s influence yesterday of guiding you to play by the rules or follow established systems is still affecting your approach in the background, and this segue of energies is working for you on all fronts, so keep the balance between these two influences.  This holds true in your relationships, so don’t buck traditional roles just yet.  Being a team player at work is beneficial in giving you the opportunity to be mentored, perhaps by the advisor you encountered the other day, or to become a mentor for someone else.  Either way, good learning experiences await you.  Daily rituals will reinforce the need for self-discipline, order and commitment to the new approach you’re taking with work, health and spiritual matters.  Continue to take the time to quiet yourself and allow your spirit to expand.  The Hierophant is showing you the benefits of setting time aside for regular, routine practice.

Though we often counsel heart over mind, there are times when mind over heart is necessary … and today, welcomed.  Your mental focus is needed to make hard decisions, however, decision-making feels easier as this is another benefit of the new direction you are presently following in your life.  You are learning to master your Self, so embrace your self-determination.  Perhaps you might encounter a kindly older gentleman whose perspective will assist your decision-making process.  Because he’s older, he may appear to be a rules-stickler that rubs your “modern” free-thinking ways the wrong way.  Don’t react negatively by taking his advice the wrong way.  This experience is a reminder that structure and logic do have a place in your perspective.  You’re finding that things are running smoother and that your supervisors are appreciating your performance at work.  Continue to keep your focus on following procedural guidelines so that your persistence leads to more success on the job.  If you’re looking for work, apply a logical approach in selecting the jobs to which you submit your applications.  Don’t forget to include a continued focus on your spiritual self.  Explore the avenues you uncovered over the past several days.  Your self-discipline, persistence, assertiveness and confidence in what you are discovering today will pay off on the journey ahead.

You continue on your new path and your focus is naturally turned inward as you explore what defines you spiritually.  This is a great moment to identify the areas in your life where you can help yourself and where you accept that you need help from others.  Self-reflection leading to self-discovery is the fruit of solitude, so don’t shy away from these moments.  Remember that problems happen, so use skill and wisdom to solve them.  That means that “doing the right thing” necessarily includes doing what is righteous for you.  This approach benefits you at work, so keep organized and productive in this Now because as the Wheel continues to turn, you assure success and  recognition tomorrow. For now, be conservative with your financial transactions and refrain from gambling. You might bump into an old flame and this encounter might generate an interesting spark today … but take care not to communicate mixed signals.  What are you really looking for in a relationship at this time?  If you’re already in a relationship, perhaps it’s time to stay connected by making the time and taking the effort to realign mutual interests to keep your spark alive and well.  Someone will cross your path that will encourage your desire to explore more deeply into spiritual matters and cause you to withdraw a little to enjoy a bit of solitude.  Becoming comfortable being alone with yourself is a skill and blocking out the noise of life by giving yourself space to BE nurtures your self-awareness.  Enjoy these moments.

So, with the changes heralded yesterday, we find ourselves set upon a new direction on our spiritual path today. Pursue your desire to dig deeper into your spiritual side.  Family and friends might not understand the attraction you’re feeling spiritually.  Their “consent” is not necessary or required for your happiness because this is all about self-awareness and self-reliance.  You defining You.  As The Fool, you are that curious, innocent child willing to explore life’s next new adventure!  It’s a day of new beginnings and a fresh start.  Yesterday was the turning of the Wheel of Fortune, and now you’re writing the next chapter of your story.  Those new opportunities you forged yesterday have opened up new paths – opportunities – for you to pursue … at work, in money matters, with your health, love life and spirituality.  Your positive attitude paved this way, so embrace the challenge of coming out on top.  Trust your instincts.  While you are living as present in the moment, however, take care not to take silly chances because today you also might be accident-prone.  So, don’t get too carried away as you happily skip along through today.
