Libra – Social Butterfly

storytellertort.org Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

Libra is the seventh astrological sign in the zodiac. It spans 180°–210° celestial longitude. The Sun transits this sign on average between September 22 and October 23. The symbol of the scales is based on the Scales of Justice held by Themis, the Greek personification of divine law and custom.

Ruled by Venus, Libra is a loving sign that focuses strongly on partnership and prioritizes the needs of others. This sign of the Scales is blessed with a natural sense of right and wrong, making them very focused on justice, honesty, and fairness. As the sign of balance, Libra represents both the head and the heart — they focus on logic and fact to ensure everything is on the up-and-up, but really thrive in the mutual feelings and closeness of one-on-one relationships. Beautiful both inside and out, Libra stands for harmony, elegance, and equality.

storytellertarot.org Justice

Major Arcana

The Justice card, as a member of the tarot deck, appears in early tarot, such as the Tarot de Marseilles. It is part of the tarot’s Major Arcana, and usually follows the Chariot, as card VIII, although some decks vary from this pattern. The virtue Justice accompanies two of the other cardinal virtues in the Major Arcana: temperance and strength.  The figure on the card holds a scale made of gold in their left hand, symbolizing a balanced decision.[1]

Minor Arcana

Libra, the social butterfly with head and heart, flits about through life, there lives a deep sense of truth.  In the two of swords one sword points to earthly foundations while other is raised to higher more spiritual ground. It is decision making time, but rather than weighing the scales of justice, Libra measures what is practical versus the value of what is best for the soul. With the three of swords Libra collaborates with comrades in arms working toward a common goal. In the four of swords are comrades are joined by one and are in direct competition with one another, creating chaos and trauma.  “Can’t we all just get along?”

Cancer-Let’s Kiss Under The Moon

storytellertarot.org cancer blog.

June 22 – July 22

 

Quirky. Brilliant. Romantic.

Hey Cancer friends. Summer is hot and so are. you!  Cancer’s governing period is from the 22nd of June to July 22nd. Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac and it is represented by the crab. They call you the crab which is related to the crab in Greek mythology that pinched Heracles while he was fighting the Lernaean Hydra? That did not end well. Crushed by Heracles, the crab was rewarded by Heracles’ enemy, Hera, by being placed in the heavens. 

Revenge is sweet.

Cancer belongs to the element of Water and considered to be an emotional sign, but I like to think of cancer as passionate. Cancers are guided by their emotions and their heart. The moon rules them, therefore they create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. Cancers are quite sensitive so don’t be surprised if they start crying after you compliment them.  Cancer is associated with beginnings, origins, and the waters of the womb, growth, nourishment, and comfort. 

Major Arcana Card

The Chariot. Poised for Action and Battle.

The Chariot. Poised for Action and Battle.

As every zodiac sign is associated with a tarot card, Cancer has one as well. Your Card, The Chariot shows a brave warrior standing inside a chariot. You stand proud and strong as you guide The Chariot on your card, steering a steady course and rising above life’s conflicts. Even though Cancers seek security, you also love the freedom of the open road where you can use your highly-developed intuition to win the race or defeat your opponent. The upright meaning of this card is control, willpower, success, action, and lastly determination. The reversed meaning is quite different. It represents opposition, self-discipline, out of control behavior, and lack of direction. 

Minor Cards

Where there is water there is emotion. Where there is emotion there is Cancer.

In the Minor Arcana, Cancer is represented by several cards, the 2 of Cups. Cancer can be represented by any of the Cups Court Cards. Why? Cups represent emotions and Water signs. The 2 of Cups best represents the desire that Cancer has, which is to feel closeness with one other person in equal balance.  In addition to the 2 of Cups, there are more cards that represent Cancer in the Minor Arcana. Check out the picture below to see the full list of cards that represent Cancer.: The Ace of Cups representing new beginnings in Love, 2, 3, 4 of Cups representing equal offers of partnership, celebrations and not seeing the love in front of you, respectively. The Queen of Cups and the King of Wands are odd partners as they cross suits, but both bring two sides of a relationship together, the emotions and the opportunity to activate those emotions.

Compatibility

People born under the Cancer sign are most compatible with their water signs Pisces and Scorpio. Cancer lovers can be highly emotional. Pisces and Scorpio people are emotional as well, which makes them an excellent match for Cancers. These signs tend to move quickly in relationships and may scare away a sign that isn’t as emotionally open.  Cancers act from their emotions before anything else, so they sometimes need to keep themselves in check before acting out too quickly. On the flip side, their emotions can be quite beautiful. They love quickly and deeply and they typically don’t let logic and fear interrupt their intentions. Dating a Cancer can be great for people who like to know exactly what their partner is feeling at all times, even when it’s not what you want to hear. 

Careers 

Being natural empaths, Cancers would thrive in fields such as a counselor or social worker. Cancer signs value the concept of family, making them a great fit for a counselor or social worker. They are also very suitable for realtors because they find joy in helping others find their next home. Any Cancer will thrive in any career where they can lend a helping hand to those in need. Their mission in this life is to bring more empathy and compassion to the world as a whole. Motivational speakers, thrift store owners, interior designers, and nurses will all be great careers for someone born under a Cancer sign. 

Celebrity Cancer 

Do you know any celebrities that were born under the crab sign? Ariana Grande, a famous American singer as well as an actress was born on June 26th making her Cancer. With 322 million followers on Instagram, she has become an icon for a lot of teenagers nowadays. One of the world’s highest paying actors (and one of the most handsome), Tom Cruise belongs to the Cancer family as well.  He began acting in the 1980s and he has had an impressive acting career. Have you watched Mission Impossible? I suggest you do if you have not yet, he plays in there. Oh, who has been longing for a Greek summer? I know I do. Meryl Streep, star of the movie Mamma Mia is often described as the best actress of her generation. Streep is particularly known for her versatility and accent adaptability. American rapper, Post Malone is known for his variegated vocal styles. He was in the movie of Wrath of Man and he has won numerous awards for his music. American media personality, Khloe Kardashian was born in June, making her a member of the Cancer family. She has gained a large following due to her family’s reality TV show. Lastly, one of the most influential people in this world right now (also richest), is Elon Musk. He does so many things it’s hard to keep up at this point. What is amazing about him is that he is purely driven by making a change for the future generation. He is the founder, CEO, and Chief Engineer at SpaceX; angel investor, CEO, and Product Architect of Tesla, Inc.; founder of The Boring Company; and co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI. That took me a minute to write down. He has a net worth of 228.2 billion USD. Have you ever thought about when this guy sleeps? I have and I still don’t know the answer. Elon is a proud member of the Cancer family as well who was born on June 28th in South Africa in 1971. 

Lucky Numbers

Thinking of buying a lottery ticket?  Cancer’s lucky numbers are 2, 7, and 9. Any number that adds up to these numbers is also more likely to bring Cancer good fortune. Are you a Cancer?

Gemini – Hey Lover!


storytellertarot gemini blog the twins

May 22 – June 21

The Twins, The Lovers, True Partners

Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac in astrology. Geminis’ time to shine is from May 21st to June 21st (who am I kidding, Gemini shines ALL YEAR). Gemini is represented by a set of twins. Fun fact: in Egyptian astrology, it is represented by a pair of goats, and in Arabian astrology by a pair of peacocks. I think we should just stick to our astrology. 

Do you have Gemini friends whose response to anything they do (good or bad), is: “ I am a Gemini”. I heard this sentence probably a thousand times in my life. Why is that? I always ask myself. Geminis are always interested in everything, they are moving their attention from one thing to another, always changing perspectives and opinions. Gemini is characterized by the Twins, Castor and Pollux. As a result, Geminis are known for having two different sides they can display to the world. 

storytellertarot Gemini The Lovers Tarot Card

Each time you encounter them, they can seem like a completely different person. However, they are proudly saying “I am a Gemini” in every single situation. They are energetic, quick-witted, smart, passionate, and dynamic. They love to talk and involve themselves in deep conversations. Gemini as friends.  It’s important to mention that you have an opinion about everything which you will happily share with other people (obviously after you told them “you are a Gemini”). When Gemini truly taps in and shares their gifts, they become an unstoppable force of energy that motivates, inspires, and enchants the rest of the Zodiac.

As every zodiac sign, Gemini is also represented by a tarot card. Gemini, your card is The Lovers. So romantic. Your Tarot card, The Lovers, portrays the dual nature that every Gemini has. Making a moral choice between taking the high or low road is a typical turning point for you. This card advises you to carefully consider your possibilities and follow the path that your personal integrity dictates. This card can be analyzed in two ways: upright and reversed. When it comes to the upright meaning, The Lovers symbolizes perfect union, harmony, love, powerful partnerships that are blessed by the universe and attraction. It represents finding the balance within oneself. Geminis are learning to understand themselves, their own personal moral code, and what they value in life. This will automatically bring balance as well as harmony to their life. The reversed meaning of the card is that Gemini may be struggling to take ownership of the decisions he or she has made. This is causing a great conflict among our Gemini friends. If you are a Gemini, you may be feeling uncertain about the direction your life is going in. A very important thing to remember is that you are the master of your own destiny. Be accountable, learn from your mistakes, and let them go. By doing so, you give space for better things to come. 

 

Minor Arcana of Gemini – Looks Foreboding Doesn’t it? Oh, Contraire.

Not just The Lovers Major Arcana cards of the Tarot, but you can also find Gemini energy in this foursome below.  Knight of Swords, 8, 9, and 10 of Swords are cards carrying Gemini energy in the Minor Arcana. They are great advice cards, so pay attention.

Knight of Swords. The Knight of Swords comes charging In with a clear and direct offer and/or message. He is on task, fast and bold. The Knight of Swords is solid and means what he says. When communicating with the Knight of Swords be clear, direct, organized and focused.   You will get much further, faster.

 Nine of Swords.  She does not look very happy, does she? Each of these swords are above her, in her thoughts, dreams and in her head.  The swords have not actually cut her at all.  She has merely dreamt them up.   If you get the Nine of Swords in your spread, then it is time to check your thoughts. Cease obsessive behavior and cyclical thinking.  Get out of the house, go for a walk and then come back and create an action plan.  The Nine of Swords is so different than the Ten of Swords…The Nine of Swords is recoverable. Develop a new approach, be bold, go for what you want and by all means do not self-sabotage. The number nine is a building number, almost done, but not quite yet.  Combining the number 9 with the swords means put on your thinking cap and try a new way to complete your project that will refill you with excitement.

Ten of Swords.  Wow! Going, going gone!  How many swords does it take to kill someone?  Even though we see all of these swords piercing this poor and dreadful person’s body, there is still a glimmer of hope as the victim is making every attempt to lift themselves out and escape from under the swords. Yes, they are hurt and horribly wounded…but not dead yet.   If you receive this card in your spread, it could be time to get up and walk away, live to fight another day.  This person has been hurt, either emotionally, physically or spiritually and a could benefit from a “Get out of Jail Free” card.  

Eight of Swords. Who is this woman who has been caught in a cage of her own making?  If she looks up and scans the terrain, there is great abundance waiting for her. She can escape this trap easily, just by either pulling the swords out or just walking around them.  Advice. Stop the pity party and get moving.

Gemini Compatibility

storytellertarot gemini, aires, libra

If you have been keeping up with our past zodiac blogs, you know that any sign is most compatible with its fellow element signs. Being an air sign, Gemini is most compatible with fellow air signs Aquarius and Libra. These signs have a great understanding of Gemini’s mind, making relationships strong. Fire signs such as Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, often have similar characteristics to Geminis making them a good fit for romantic or platonic relationships. Now we’ve all heard the stories about dating Geminis. Or maybe you have a story to tell yourself. As we mentioned before, Geminis have two different sides to their personality, and dating them can feel like a rollercoaster of emotions. Some people like this type of unpredictability which draws them to Geminis left and right…And I may be speaking from experience. We think Geminis get a bad rap. Sure they can be unpredictable, but they have a true gift for empowering and inspiring others. And unpredictable can be fun. 

Careers 

As we discussed before, Geminis have charming and enchanting personalities. These personality traits come in handy in many situations in a Gemini’s life, especially in their career. A career in communications is a great fit for Gemini because they know how to change their personality and language to best fit a situation. Gemini people love to learn and adapt so a career that is constantly changing will keep Gemini entertained. Many Geminis work in media because the narrative is constantly changing and the work is never the same. They are often good at many skills which makes picking a career easy. They are quick thinkers who work well in fast-paced environments. The downfall to their constantly changing personality is that repetitive or consistent tasks will make Gemini feel uninspired and unmotivated. Are you a Gemini? Take a look at your current career choice and let us know if this feels true to you. Is your job constantly changing? Do you feel inspired? Or is it time to switch things up? 

Celebrity Gemini – Johnny Depp Says It All

sotrytellertarot Gemini Celebrities

What a lucky month for Johnny Depp. In the June of 2022, he is not only celebrating his 58th birthday, but he is celebrating his bank account growing by $15 million. We have all heard about the defamation trial that was going on between him and Amber Heard these past months. In the end, Johnny came out to be the winner of the trial, but what can I say… he is a Gemini so we should have known this already. Angeline Jolie, filmmaker, actress, and humanitarian, Gemini family member. She has been named Hollywood’s highest-paid actress multiple times. What is really admirable about her is her efforts to help our Earth in any way she can. Jolie established the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation in 2003, a conservation organization dedicated to preserving Cambodia’s environment and endangered species. The charity also established a landmine clearing initiative in Cambodia in order to alleviate extreme rural poverty. Yes Ladies, Tom Holland is a Gemini too. Most of us know him from Spiderman, however, some of us know him as Zendaya’s boyfriend. Both of them are big achievers I would say. When we talk about legendary actresses, we have to mention Marylin Monroe. She was a popular sex symbol in the 1950s and early 1960s, and she was an embodiment of the sexual revolution of the time. This woman lived lavishly and spent her money freely on clothing, jewelry, and her home. What can I say? She is a Gemini. She left a significant impact on the world, people still talk about her. In fact, Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe’s birthday dress at the Met Gala this year, after losing 16 pounds in 21 days. Did that woman not eat or what? Speaking of Kim Kardashian, ex-husband Kanye West is in the Gemini family as well. He is an American rapper, record producer, entrepreneur, and fashion designer, one of the greatest and most influential hip-hop musicians of all time. His successful brand “Yeezy” has been huge amongst today’s youngsters. Last but not least, Morgan Freeman was born in June of 1937. He is known for his extensive acting career in a wide variety of film genres. He can also be recognized by his distinctively deep voice and calm demeanor.  He is one of the most respected figures in US cinema. 

Gemini’s Lucky Numbers. 

Gemini’s Lucky Numbers are 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 19, 52, 68.  In the Tarot, the combination of numbers get added together to produce a Karma number…as in the above series, 6 + 8 + 14 or 5. So any derivative would also be construed as one of Gemini’s Lucky Numbers.

Capricorn – True Grit

December 22 – January 20

The Devil Made Me Do It!….Or Was That Capricorn?

storytellertarot.or The Devil Card for Capricorn

     This month at Storyteller Tarot we are featuring the foundation builders and planners of the Universe, Capricorn. It is the 10th astrological sign in the zodiac and is ruled by the planet Saturn. If you were to compare Saturn to Earth, it is about 9.5 times larger in circumference, yet is less dense than water.  Surrounded by her beautiful rings she has come to represent elegance, lightness, and rulership larger than life. The sun transits this area from December 21st to January 21st and provides the promise of new beginnings. Saturn is the 6th planet and when reduced, the Devil card adds to 6.

     Capricorn, an Earth sign, is closely affiliated with the Pentacles; the practical, the grounded, the planners and the doers of the Earth. Although represented in the Major Arcana by the Devil, I like to think about this card as the true Grit Builder of the Tarot. As you can see by the image on the card, we have a horned male figure with bat-like wings to take flight, his body is part beast and he is perched slightly above the rest of us, as if to rule and hord its presence over us. There are two human figures chained to the ringed chair of the Devil, but loosely, one male, one female who both are horned. They affiliate with a much larger temptation, however, the chains they carry can very easily be escaped if the two people can muster up the courage to do so. They are caught between the Devil and Temperance and show the need for patience and fortitude in order to resist the Devil. 

Although Capricorn is represented with the number 15 (Adds To 6) ie. the card of the Devil,

I’ve nicknamed this card The Builder of True Grit. Here is why…

     Capricorns are ambitious and organized. They are constantly working and setting new goals for themselves and sometimes others. Capricorns are family-oriented people and value every little thing from their past and present. They take their work very seriously and because of this they can come off as a know it all. Capricorns can be stubborn, unforgiving, and reserved. They are planners and methodical, confident, and as the Greek fable implies, are flexible and resourceful, even transforming themselves into something else in order to reach their goals. 

     Capricorn is identified as the satyr, Pan, the god with a goat’s horns and legs, who saved himself from the monster, Typhon, by giving himself a fish’s tail, becoming a sea – goat and diving into a river to save himself. Overall, this card is about feeling stuck or trapped and that is represented by the slaves in chains as depicted in the cards. However, the chains are loose, so the individuals could leave if they wanted to divest themselves of these entrapments. How is that connected with Capricorn? They often feel restricted by the expectations of those around them and their own expectations. In the end, they find an opportunity to free themselves. Furthermore, The Devil card encourages you to face your shadow-self in order to gather the knowledge necessary for spiritual transformation. It advises you to reflect on any negativity that has made you doubt yourself, swap it for confidence and hold fast to your highest vision of who you are.

StorytellerTarot The World Card 21 also resonates Capricorn energy

The World Card Resonates Capricorn Energy as well.

 

     The World Card is another card that carries the energy of Capricorn and can also be found in the Major Arcana. It marks completion and is a place where a slightly clothed cherub appears with two scepters or some say scrolls, orchestrating the energies of the four elements, Earth, Air, Water Fire. What will she conjure up next?

 

Minor Arcana Cards Representing Capricorn in the Tarot

     There are many wonderful energies of Capricorn in the Tarot. For example, the 7 of Pentacles depicts a woman, the mistress of her estate, walking through her garden, with a sunflower in hand, signifying a harvest, satisfaction and happiness. She stops to reflect upon what she has grown thus far as she gazes upon a tree with seven Pentacles. How does she grow these seven Pentacles into ten?

      In addition the Ace of Pentacles, (New Beginning of Substance), the Knight of Pentacles. Someone of importance making a serious offer and although the slowest moving Knight in the Minor Arcana, when he arrives, he arrives with an offer that is committed and long-lasting. We see the growth of Capricorn when represented in the Nine of Pentacles. Here we are witness to a very elegantly dressed woman in yellow standing below a trellis of Pentacles.

Capricorn Ace, Knight and Nine of Pentacles. She is glancing down and reaching slightly forward with her hand to nurture what she has. She has been successful in building her Seven of Pentacles into Nine, thus providing her with more abundance and stability. She has built a solid foundation estate on her own and finds that she is filled with joy, yet humbled, as she knows how she had to plan, exercise temperance and how hard she had to work to do so.

Compatibility 

     Are you a Capricorn? Are you in love with a Capricorn or do you work with a Capricorn? Do you know what significators represent your energy in the Major and Minor Arcana and which of those are compatible with you? According to astrology, Capricorns are most compatible with Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces. These water signs are said to balance the Capricorn’s Earthliness. However, I am a Leo and my mother was a Capricorn and for this I am so very grateful.  What other sign could have managed a household of ten, feed, clothe and educate us and provide a creative and entertaining environment. Capricorns like partners that are committed, reliable, passionate, and hard working. It is no surprise that Capricorns get along best with people similar to them. When a Capricorn is in a relationship (romantic or platonic) with a person who is not as committed or passionate, they can get frustrated and unhappy. Because Capricorns can be serious creatures, they also attract partners that can bring out a more fun and free side of their personality. Balance is key when it comes to Capricorn relationships. 

Careers

     Ever wondered if you have a job made in heaven for you? Well, if you are a Capricorn, these might be just the perfect occupations for you. Are you someone who has a logical mind and approaches everything practically? Finance, accounting, and investment are the languages of business and would be very successful professions for you.  The ideal job for a Capricorn comes with working with numbers, finances, keeping bank accounts and mutual funds organized. Capricorn as a computer programmer? I say yes! Capricorns have exceptional problem-solving and organizational skills. Coding and data management are natural skills for the She-Goat. While this job is boring for a lot of people, Capricorn thrives in it. 

Celebrity Capricorns

     Many of your favorite celebrities are Capricorns. Timothy Chalemate, Jared Letto, Ryan Seacrest, and Michele Obama to name a few. It is no surprise that these celebrities are Capricorns. From leading big motion pictures, to leading the country, these people are hard working, ambitious with vision. Although none of these Capricorns are accountants or coders, they are leaders of meticulous industries.

Your Number

     Each card in tarot is associated with a certain number. The Devil is the tarot card number 15. It is the 15th card of the Major Arcana; 1 and 5 adds up to 6; Saturn is the 6th planet. The Devil and The Lovers cards are connected to each other although The Lovers Card does not carry Capricorn energy.

Happy Birthday Sagittarius

SAGITTARIUS

Tarot Card Temperance representing SagittariousNovember 23 – December 21

Temperance

“The Daughter of the Reconcilers, the Bringer Forth of Life”

     Did you know that Jupiter is your Ruling Planet Sagittarius? It is the largest planet in the solar system and the 5th planet out from the Sun. It is also the oldest of all of our planets, so it makes sense that you, my charming Sagittarius, come off as being wiser than your years.  Jupiter is what gives Sagittarius its sense of expansion, exploration, wisdom, practicality and leadership.

     Back in the Day, January of 1610, Jupiter was believed to be surrounded by four moons, Io, Callisto, Europa, Ganymede, known as the Galilean satellites after Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei who discovered them. Galileo first observed and noted these moons’ courses and their occurrences and made the mistake of sharing his findings publically. Why was that so bad.  Galileo’s observations gave birth to the Capernican theory, in that planets did not revolve around Earth, as believed by the Catholic Church, but a central Sun. During this error, the notion was considered to  be Heresy. Why? Because the church had preached that Man and Earth were the center of the universe and all things traveled around it. Poor Galileo, a true scientist and man of conviction, suffered for such a belief as he was convicted of heresy.  300 years later and a lifetime of house arrest for Galileo, the Catholic Church finally agreed with Galileo in that planets do travel around a central Sun rather than Earth and man being the center of the Universe. Jupiter, in its calm peaceful going about its business way was at the center of new knowledge, expansion of human understanding and created a pathway for new learning. Also, we now know that Jupiter has 79 moons. How about that?  You can now understand how Sagittarius came to be affiliated with expansion, new ideas, risk taking, adventure, conviction, seeing the big picture and being wisest of the signs.

     The Temperance card of the Tarot deck is a Major Arcana card and as a Major Arcana card was believed to be affiliated with the Gods.They are so very powerful in a Tarot Reading that they supersede Minor Arcana cards in setting the tone and energy of a reading.  If you look closely, you will note that the Temperance card depicts the holder of two cups who is constantly pouring one cup into another in an effort to keep both cups full, all things in balance and provide for all. With one foot in the water and one foot on land, Temperance is fully grounded and in touch with her emotions and the practical or the Earthly side of life. Her red wings are full of passion and fire as they are expanded and always at the ready to take in life or take flight. Behind her there is a gilded crown shimmering in the distant sky with a similar glow Sagittarius’s head giving the observer a sense that Temperance is but a Red-Winged Angel on loan to the world as a way to inspire us to bring balance into our lives.  Queen of Pentacles also carries Sagittarius Energy

Angelic in appearance and with the yellow irises in bloom and the fecundate richness of her lands, it is here where she is linked and appears as the Queen of Earth or Pentacles in the Tarot representing the practical, the grounded, the picture of abundance, fertility, healing and prosperity. She works calmly and methodically to keep all in balance and growing.

     Whether you are a Sagittarius or you know one, you probably see them (or yourself) as a person who brings about balance, creativity, fruitfulness, ideas and practical application. The high energy sign of Sagittarius with its charismatic personality can be irresistible and magnetic. Sags enjoy the attention but also like to maintain a steady pace; moving through life by keeping calm and level headed in even the most stressful situations. Let’s take a closer look at the characteristics of a Sagittarius.

     People born under the Sagittarius sun are loyal, smart, assertive, passionate, creative and compassionate. They are linked to humanity and all Earthly things and will sometimes appear as the Queen of Pentacles, fully-grounded, abundant, producer of fertility and self confident, as she sits elevated over her lands which she has grown over time and hard work and planning,  but not taking her focus off of her coin. This sign and this card, the Queen of Pentacles, look at the big picture in each situation and can easily understand multiple perspectives without losing her own. The Queen of Pentacles represents the loyal, true, focused, prolific and practical side of Sagittarius.

In the Toth Tarot, Sagittarius is coined “The Daughter of the Reconcilers, the Bringer Forth of Life.

     Where else can you look for Sagittarius in the Tarot?  Tarot Cards Representing Sagittarious in the Minor Arcana are various members of the Wands.With wings to take flight and swift action, Sagittarius is present in the House of Wands. Sags are represented in the fair, charismatic, wise and romantic, family focused King of Wands, the charging Knight of Wands, hard working load bearing Ten of Wands, the battle worn Nine of Wands and the fast moving Eight of Wands rushing in with messages and action. They do not parry from risk.  The friends you have who parachute out of planes, hike Mount Rainier or open up their own businesses may have Sagittarian energy in their chart. They have sharp business and sports-competitive mentalities combined with a sense of fairness and justice. The Ace of Wands represents great passion and new creative beginnings.  No matter what your sign or card, it is truly a gift from the Universe to see the Ace of Wands in your reading infusing your life with passion, creativity and the promise of abundance. These all can be interpreted as cards reflecting Sagittarius.

     With so many great strengths, weaknesses do prevail. Sags can be blunt. This could come in handy with their business-like attitude, but one must be careful not to let this characteristic go too far and hurt the feelings of friends, colleagues and family members.

Compatibility – Best Combinations For Sagittarius

    Sagittarius beings are most compatible with fellow fire signs Aries and Leo. Romantically or platonically, these signs create great bonds. Fire signs like inspiration and passion and together they can inspire each other.

Careers 

     When it comes to careers that are the best fit for Sagittarius, the list is quite long. Sagittarius love adventure and to travel, so any job that is connected to traveling would be a great fit for them. It can be a travel agent, travel writer, anything where you are able to share your passion for traveling with others and you are able to help them achieve their dream vacation. If a zodiac sign was ever suited to be an entrepreneur, it is the Sagittarius. Sagittarius tend to have a lot of self confidence that comes handy when entering a risky business. You overcome the challenges with your positivity and would make an excellent CEO. We said that Sagittarius are business-minded people, didn’t we? While many people don’t like the idea of working in a sales-related field, Sagittarius excels in it! They are not scared to share their enthusiasm with others and they are good at marketing and selling their products. Marketing is something that Sagittarius have the trait for because they tend to have a strong influence on other people. Social media marketing is a field where they can thrive and actually make an impact on the community around them. 

Celebrities

     Anyone who is familiar with the sports world, most importantly the tennis world knows the legend Billie Jean King. She was born on November 22, 1943 which makes her a Sagittarius. Her birthplace is Long Beach, California and now she is 78 years old. She is a former No. 1 tennis player in the world, and she won 39 Grand Slam titles. She founded the Women’s Tennis Association and the Women’s Sports Foundation, and also became the owner of the World Tennis Team. As mentioned earlier, Sagittarius have strong business and sport mentalities. Billie Jean King not only was a legendary athlete, but she founded organizations that are thriving today. 

Your Number

     Each card in tarot is associated with a certain number. Temperance, which is the card of Sagittarius, is the 14th card in the tarot deck. The number 14 represents this Major Arcana card as well as its reduced form of five. But what do these numbers mean? The number 14 indicates a karmic situation where people must learn independence, unity and justice. 14 encourages creativity and adventure, but also sends warning that there might be some trouble along the way. At the stage five it is time to take stock, assess the competition and develop a plan for improvement. The vibration of the number five indicates that many changes are ahead and hopefully of your own making. In Tarot we consider these opportunities for growth and expansion.  It is our challenges that make us who we are, yes and our successes are those rewards of learning. But the challenge is what teaches us best.
