Part of Fortune resides in Capricorn today, allowing you to see the world as it really is, giving an understanding (2♦️) of the motivation that lead others to negativity and to have emotional dependencies. There will be a need overcome the naivety of your reactions if you are avoid becoming trapped in the repetition of patterns which hold those others repeating past mistakes in their thinking.
Opposing Part of Fortune is Mars in Cancer, where hidden aggression and anger rises to the surface in the form of displaced aggression - frustrations are being vented, not at the actual source of these energies but towards those in the immediate vicinity.
4♦️ sees you strive to assert yourself against this (from a position of security).
With Part of Fortune in the 10th House, you're able to recognise old habits rearing up, and more importantly you are able to access intuition in how to deal with the situation. (Q♣️)
This allows you to focus on what you really want (7♠️)
Currently your Spirit has been oversensitive of late, focusing too heavily on the needs of those around you. Moon in Libra (where the Hermetic Lot of Spirit resides today), supports this concept, and notes you're experiencing fluctuating moods and changes of feelings in regards to relationships. Moon in the 7th describes the restless, emotionally idiosyncratic nature of those around you - the current Waning Gibbous Moon advises then, to look inwardly to disseminate what it is in you that elicits this behaviour?
Supporting the communicative aspect of 2♦️, today's Lunar Mansion Al-Ghafr (The Coverings) denotes a positive outcome in regards to finance. The opposing Mansion of Al-Sharatain advises however that we are losing control by being too aggressive and forceful particularly in response to personal issues. (9❤️)
Seek instead to fall back on your faith in the benevolence of life, and maintain your openness to recieve whatever it has to offer you. Jupiter in Pisces (9❤️) sees you looking the meaning to all that has been occurring around you but the answers are not found externally as they already exist nascently within (that Waning Gibbous Moon again plus your own intuitive receptivity Q♣️).
Le Grand Saint Michel ( Archangel Michael defeating evil), by Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio). Year, 1518. Location, Louvre, Paris.
Addition of the card numbers [IX+VIII+XIV+II=] brings us to 33.
33 is Abel - to languish or mourn.
The panel of the bed (9/Swords) features the myth of Cain slaying Abel with the jawbone of an ass.
3 times two: Binah the 3rd path, understanding (two sides of a situation).
3+3=6, the mystic number of Binah, the sixth path Tiphareth - Beauty.
Also Badh: separation.
3x3 (3 squared) gives us Yesod (Foundation), and "Hed" - a shout of joy!
Waking up from nighmarish dreams, the figure clothed in white (good intentions) seems enmeshed in destructive thought, despite the spiritual protection of the blanket strewn with roses and zodiacal signs.
The 8/Wands, ruled by Mercury symbolises the "blending" found in Temperance (♾️), swift communication and finding your way to internal realisations - particularly here, representing flashes of insight.
In 2/Wands, we see a figure looking out over his old world whilst holding a new (growing) world in one hand.
He therefore stands at the threshold of the past and the future.
2/Wands is Chokmah in Atziluth: the wellspring of the Pillar of Force, flashes of insight appearing as if from nowhere (the airborne 8/Wands), an intimation and awareness of what is to come.
Are the the nightmares of 9/Swords a sign of impending doom (the background of The image is the darkened skies of The Tower)!?!
Temperance is not a stranger to being on the brink of a dilemma (positioned between XIII and The Devil, no less), the angel Michael stands with one foot on land at the edge of the shore (consciousness and unconsciousness).
He has a glyph of The Sun on his forehead (the waters representing the Moon), whilst transmuting Lead into Gold (the solar cups and the lunar blue of the cascading waters).
Today's Lunar Mansion Al-Zubrah (The Mane) speaks of emulating the strength of the lion (the figure in "Strength" recalling the angel of Temperance looking into a single cup).
Now is not the time to shrink from confrontation or to hide in fear (9/Wands).
The imagery of Aquarius is found in the blending waters of Temperance's vessels, Aquarius also featuring in the opposing Mansion of Al-Sa'd al-Akhbiyah, the Lucky Star of Hidden Things. This mansion indicates that discernment in our efforts will bring success (2/Wands), the imagery of this mansion being a gardener planting their tree where there's nourishment (a barren tree stands nearby), Michael/Temperance standing next to a source of water, the figure in 2/Wands likewise (seeing his ships bringing supplies).
The Moon in Virgo (today) signifies reacting to feelings instead of intellect, with the Moon moving into Libra later. This will be a time to resolve difficulties and provides an opportunity to balance your needs with those of others in order to maintain equilibrium.
The Moon itself is inconjunct with Mercury indicating a conflict between emotions and logic (the mind going one way and feelings in another direction), the alchemy of the processes in Temperance, mixing fire+water, solve et coagula.
I found The Hermit face up in my deck as I was about to deal the cards (so I include him here, as my guide).
He's lighting the path ahead for a journey, holding the Ace of Wands (Spirit of Primal Fire) in one hand, his own personal Sun in the other - as we see him setting off through the dark night of the soul in 8 of Cups.
In this card (8/C), a traveller is relinquishing a role which they have outgrown, leaving behind all that has been accomplished but is no longer useful.
Queen of Cups represents the travellers dreams and hopes - for an organised and practical life (8 of Pentacles).
Listen to Egyptian Project - Soufi سقاني الغرام by Yasser Naeim #np on #SoundCloud
These two eights consequently symboolise ∞ the journey of the Moon (the wax and wain of the tides, the rise and fall of the Queen's intuition and emotion, reflection and connection).
The Sun, whose white horse symbolises "the mind leading forth the animal nature" (AE Waite), emerges from a "walled garden of the sensitive life" from which the enlightened mind can emerge into freedom, the journey's end.
Linked here to 8/Pentacles, The Sun is promoting health and productivity:
"I am Yesterday, I know Tomorrow" (Egyptian Book of the Dead ch.17)
The Lunar Mansion for today is Al-Awwa which signifies the achievement of a heartfelt desire and the beginning of creative power. The opposing Mansion of Al-Fargh warns us however not to achieve these aims at the expense of another.
Moon in Virgo highlights the need to feel emotionally engaged in journey ahead (the red feather/banner of the "new person" in The Sun).
Indeed, looking to Pisces which opposes The Moon's position, we discover we are able to access a "storehouse" of inner resources and insights.
We find this via Mercury in Aquarius where we join forces with others of a like mind, their attitudes, points of view and experiences enhancing the journey we are taking.
North Node ☊ in ♈ confirms however the need to stand on our own two feet, to honour who we are, with the South Node ☋ advising that we should strive to have sympathy and understanding of others in the process and it is here that we will find our "Sun" today.
It's worth remembering today that you have earned the right to happiness ❤️
Even in the darkest moments, these times will pass, if you learn to appreciate your own self worth.
Emotional healing is imminent.
There's conflict between a couple, the guarded, difficult to fathom Q❤️ and the J❤️ who's feelings are more open (she's looking away, he gazes at her hoping for a response).
The issue is an extraneous one, that is, a conflict outside of the relationship has crept into their rapport, causing tension.
Q❤️ is using the relationship as a proving ground to see how far she can push someone before they retaliate. She's searching for a way to deal with an issue unrelated to the current situation.
Follow your intuition through the chaos of today's challenges.
Also the middle pip of the five (looking to end a situation), separates into the two central pips of the ten, a conflict is tearing someone apart, you're able to spiritually discuss it and bring about resolution (the two central ♠️ becoming the two central ♣️).
It's going to be a wild day today...
Emotional indecision leads to thinking about making a change.
You've been contemplating a risky venture, the good news is that if you stay on course it will bring much in the way of rewards, which in turn will provide you with even greater confidence.
The possibilities will outweigh any misgivings you might have had.
Watching it all unfold, thinking "how can I benefit from this?"
Queen of Swords is in some respect Justice, but she has discarded her impartiality (the scales of Equilibrium). Her sword is a decision she's made in her past, it's in her right hand, the left hand is moving to grab a falling yod, as her thinking causes The Tower to lose its crown (a revelation!).
King of Coins leans into the Queen in a conspiratorial manner, pretending not to be in cahoots with her, looking away.
He's got the yod from the Queen and he's looking to expand it somehow.
The King has his gaze focused on the large coin of the Ace of Coins, the "Sun" is the source of the blast which topples the Tower, although the intention is coming from the tip of the Queen's sword (her logic).
Looking bottom left, we see both people scrabbling on the ground for more, in a state of flux. This was a moment of change/chaos when their true natures were revealed.
What goes around comes around?
The Queen is focused on a past incident, the more practical King is looking to the sun (Ace) to see what has been learned from this. He sees the Tower as a moment of truth, a dramatic change in the past narrative, when The Wheel of Fortune (symbolically the Ace) turned and the equilibrium was displaced.
The Gunas Revolve, nothing can remain in any phase, a time will come when it begins to stir. The end reward however an understanding of the situation.
As we approach the forthcoming Full Moon in a Waxing Gibbous Moon, this current phase is a time for reflection, a time to look back on lessons learnt and to disseminate any internal growth that has arisen from these challenges.
The Moon itself resides in Gemini today, and sees itself reflecting and being shaped by its surroundings. There is a need for the knowledge of "how things work", an adaptability to changing environments (the opposing house of Sagittarius conferring a long sighted outlook).
The Lunar Mansion for today is Al-Sharatain, when The Moon begins her passage through the mansions with a burst of energy, that provides the impetus to move forward. The opposing Mansion is Al-Jubana, the horns of Scorpio, where careful assessment and forward thinking brings about success and gain (the King looking at the large coin of the Ace). Indeed the Picatrix for Mansion no.16 is an image of a man seated on a throne, holding a scale in his hand (the medium sized Coin?).
Queen of Disks is someone at ease with themselves, she holds up her Disk (one of the 6/Cups seen from above) to examine it. She's searching for whatever is causing an emotional imbalance (5/Cups is Scorpio/Death+Mars/The Tower), what aspects of her "shadow self" can she recycle into something constructive (4/Disks)?
The Queen is looking back/inward but her nature is inclined to the future (her "staff" is the spiritual Ace of Wands which leans forward).
Thus, she reduces the six Cups down to five (by picking up one and examining it), the central Cup of the five becomes the protective shield amidst the 4/Disks (inner protection).
This is highlighted in The Sun square Moon configuration today, seeds of an earlier intention are beginning to come through. Moon square Mercury highlights a conflict with the mind going in one direction and emotions in the other direction. Moon in Taurus seeks to maintain the status quo, but Mercury residing in Aquarius provides us with an unconventional mindset that seeks to go beyond what we already know (therein the dilemma).
The 28th Lunar Mansion of Batn al-Hut speaks of completion of the cycle of mansions, we are in a state of completion ready to reap the harvest of our efforts (Sun in Scorpio of 6/Cups, a point of emotional equilibrium). The opposing Mansion Al-Thurayya speaks of the inner flame finding that balance, with the warning not to become too complacent.
Our thinking is motivated today (Chariot), we advance towards a desired goal.
There's a need to strike out into uncharted territory, to do something new or unpredictable, we're not sure where this will take us but it will bear fruit (Empress).
The two horses of the Chariot are untethered, free to roam wherever they want, the charioteer has no control over them, this could go either way - but is balanced by the grounded Empress, her "eagle" is symbolic and trapped (contained) within the shield although she herself is looking forward (her staff of authority leans to the future also).
The two are an amalgamation of pushing forward (Chariot) with no control and sitting back knowing you've got this (Empress).
Thus a breakthrough is achieved without much difficulty (lll Swords), the internal sword overcoming the two sabres that attempted to contain it. In V Swords, the nature is still as subversive but remains grounded (pointing into the earth), subtlety wins the day - trying to force changes will only result in failure so go with the flow (Chariot) of whatever happens (Empress).
The charioteer's staff is similar to the marotte of The Fool, both are striking in new directions (lll Swords) but unlike the Fool, the charioteer's stick has a practical purpose (controlling the horses) and he's protected in his vehicle (there's some method to his actions), the charioteer has prepared himself for the unexpected (V Swords).
The Chariot is associated with the sign of Cancer, moving forward with his "house/armour" around him, progressing slowly but surely to a destination. Today Part of Fortune resides in the 4th House ♋ , highlighting the satisfaction gained in starting new projects, in part due to Mars conjuncting PoF, where we find ourselves expressing our desire for movement (but in a personal direction).
The Empress is represented by Venus which finds itself in Aries today, there's a need for making new connections, bolstered by an acceptance also of others through appreciation of our own creativity (Venus in the 7th House of III Swords).
V Swords (♄ in ♒) ruled by Saturn (which resides in ♋ adjacent to PoF) creates motion and imbalance - also ruled by Venus, creating an imbalance, where Venus finds herself in uncharted territory and overwhelmed, possibly due to an oversensitivity of how you feel others see you.
This however leads you to want to break those rules that have been holding you back!
Ancient stone bothering
Laetitia
This is a good opportunity for some personal shutting down and recovery.
Lately you've experienced emotional burnout and now is a time of standing back from it all and directing your energies inwardly ("rebuilding" under the crescent Moon).
Moon conjuncting Saturn concurs with this, as does Part of Fortune in Aries (solo efforts) opposed by PoF/Libra (self sufficiency).
The Moon residing in Pisces, a Water House, denoting openness and vulnerability, a thin line between what you & others are feeling, you believe these are your emotions but have absorbed them from someone else. Without forgoing your natural receptivity, it would be wise to develop ways of strengthening your boundaries to protect yourself from being "invaded" by other's emotions.
A period of seclusion may be required to re-establish inner peace and harmony.
Mercury in Aquarius supports this, an almost maternal influence has come to bear on you, nearly smothering your ability to think for yourself.
"The wise men of India began journeys and began (making) medicines when the Moon was in this mansion. You should place the Moon in this mansion as the basis of all images that you make to go on a journey and to advance safely and return in good health and prosperity."
"Make images for the digging of wells, to seek underground treasure, to impede travellers on their journeys."
(Picatrix, book I, ch.4)
What stabilises today is Saturn/Capricorn, "Liberty is the luxury of discipline ", organising yourself, challenge society's belief that you should be working more and feeling guilty about taking time-out for yourself.
Think of The Devil tarot card here and the two "Lovers" chained to his podium ("The Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime").
"Where there is darkness, the saving powers also rise" (Hölderlin), just when it all feels too bleak to contemplate, an opportunity arises, out of your natural openness and willingness to receive what life has to offer.
Today's geomantic figure Laetitia, shows someone who has climbed the mountain, put in the effort - now is the time to stop and admire the view, to look back at how far you've come, retreating inwardly from the world to purify yourself.
Sabian symbolism for 31/05/2025: walking up a flight of stairs...
A waxing crescent Moon in Pisces, time to set new intentions for the time ahead.
Tomorrow is Imbolc, 1st of February, a time to consider the initial awakening of Spring, a time of renewal, marking the midpoint between the dark of winter and the light of spring (the midpoint between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox).
Sun in Aquarius encourages a time of coming together, of breaking away from the darkness of the winter that is beginning to recede.
In fact this is supported by today's Lunar Mansion, Al Fargh al-Thani, The Gatherer Together, which speaks to us of gain and loss, the darkness of the winter must be endured in order to bring about the light of spring. The opposing Mansion Al-Awwa indicates "union" specifically the creation of links and bonds "vinculum quipped vinculorum amor est" to be more precise - a fulfilment of the struggles experienced in conflict and confrontation.
Fitting then for The Moon (tarot) to appear as our Motivation today, Ruler of Flux and Reflux, a signal showing the end of the path is close by. Here we see the crayfish (a Wandering Soul) emerging from the pool of stagnation, asserting his will on the world, leaving a situation behind, Midnight drawing to forth to Dawn, bringing forth new levels of future awareness.
This is a time of upheaval (6/Cups), the second stage of alchemical sublimation, taking ourselves from a place of darkness into The Sun in order to allow us to digest the solar rays. Here in the Cups we see the waters' transmutation bringing forth new life.
Let this happen naturally, (7/Swords), allow for change to happen as a new element is introduced.
A time of channelling our intuition and instinct, knowing what to leave behind as we enter a new cycle.
Jupiter in Leo (6/Wands) symbolises our self-expression being given a boost today, we are able to expand on the smallest of ideas, our capacity for vision is unlimited.
Plans could become too large for us to handle on our own however (7/Swords - an increase in workload), so this is a time to remain positive and aware that current delays are only temporary, allow for change and preparation of greater work to come.
Fearing another headache coming on K❤️ reaches up and finds a Sword (♠️) embedded there.
"How did that get there?"
Looking at it curiously he realises he's mastered his pain by confronting the issue (he's now the King of Swords ♠️).
Sometimes by dealing directly with a confusing or uncomfortable situation, the best thing to do is just reach out to the matter in hand and take control.
The A♣️ has been demoted to 5♣️, creating a blockage to any future advancement.
Any hope for creativity or advancement has been temporarily stifled.
The four pips in each corner of the A♣️ have taken precedent and the A♣️ pip has shrunk in regards to this (now that it's 5♣️).
This sounds bleak but instead of being a single A♣️ it is now surrounded by other pips of equal status.
Maybe that demotion was more of an egalitarian move than originally realised?
Yes, some of the glory has been taken by others but in turn those others are giving you support, you don't need to feel so isolated now?
Here we see no ♦️ cards being pulled, there's a lack of communication somewhere.
The two Kings are both outwardly looking away from each other but inwardly watching what the other is doing. Maybe they should turn their heads and face each other?
♠️'s are sharp enough to fell trees (♣️) and trees "eventually" decompose and become ♦️s. But this change could take a few lifetimes to occur, something has to be done soon or this will go on forever.
5♣️ is Saturn in Leo, denoting a restriction in difficulty in expressing what really makes you feel better. Spontaniety is blocked by being too guarded.
Maybe it's time to look for that Sword you've been thinking about?
