You are undergoing major changes now, so the best tack is to roll with it all.  As we said yesterday, change is inevitable; struggle is an option (like trying to row upstream without a paddle).  People you’ve relied upon have changed position and might not be as reliable to you as you once thought.  This isn’t a problem, unless you make it your problem.  You can ride this phase of your journey out just fine if you can remember that your best resources are already within you.  People are contentious and you might be angered and tempted to escalate the situation.  You’ve now been given a heads-up at the road ahead, so take this sign as an opportunity for thinking things through and planning ahead.  Don’t be emotional and make assumptions; find out for sure what’s really afoot.  Your nerves may be frayed, so be careful with yourself … and let this perspective be what defines your positive attitude.  On all fronts in your life at this moment, this is the best way to avert crisis — with well-thought out damage control.

You’ve set things into motion and placed your best foot forward … and now, you’re in waiting mode.  Leave it alone, else things might backfire on you.  Others are weighing factors involving you.  Remain patient.  Nothing good comes about through the use of force, so refrain from being demanding.  In all honesty, this is a moment of finesse because things around you are in flux.  If you find you’re agitated because you’re waiting for an outcome, place your heart elsewhere … You have the opportunity to examine the reasons being still and patient presents difficulty for you in this moment.  Breathe and accept the way “it” is right now.  Remember:  change is inevitable; struggle is an option.

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.
