Today's Outlook for
Tuesday March 06, 2007
Yesterday | TODAY | Tomorrow
The pace of life begins to settle down again now that we are past the erratic Sun-Uranus conjunction. The easygoing Libra Moon is a reminder that being pleasant to others can also make us feel better. Libra's key planet Venus is already picking up on the good vibrations of its trine to Jupiter and Saturn later in the week. Additionally today is the last day of Mercury's retrograde phase, so we should clean up any loose ends before moving forward.
Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)
Today you have an opportunity to be a hero by making contact with your inner diplomat. You have the ability now to express opposing points of view without your ego getting in the way. Everyone will be happy once they come closer to a common ground, and your negotiation skills can make all the difference.
card of the day:
The Fool
This Deck: Aquarian
Fast Facts
About The Fool
Theme: Let go of expectations and trust your instincts.
Astro Association: Uranus
Element: Air
Number: 0
Alias: The Madman, Innocence
General Meaning: Pamela Coleman-Smith's artful rendition of an "innocent Fool" archetype (Rider-Waite deck) is often used to represent Tarot in general. Early classical versions of the Fool card, however, portray quite a different character -- a person driven by base needs and urges, who has fallen into a state of poverty and deprivation.
In some instances, he is made out to be a carnival entertainer or a huckster. In others, he is portrayed as decrepit and vulnerable -- as the cumulative result of his delusions and failures. Not until the 20th century do you see the popular Rider-Waite image of the Fool arise -- that of an innocent Soul before its Fall into Matter, as yet untainted by contact with society and all its ills.
Modern decks usually borrow from the Rider-Waite imagery. Most Fool cards copy the bucolic mountainside scene, the butterfly, the potential misplaced step that will send the Fool tumbling into the unknown. Don't forget, however, that the earlier versions of this card represented already-fallen humanity, over-identified with the material plane of existence, and beginning a pilgrimage towards self-knowledge, and eventually, wisdom. The Fool reminds us to recognize the path of personal development within ourselves -- and the stage upon that path where we find ourselves -- in order to energize our movement toward deeper self-realization.
Number of the day:
Thomas's
Daily Number: 9
Today is about letting go, and there may be a restructuring or release of a friendship. Your priorities are changing, and today is about forgiveness, tolerance, and exercising compassion.
