Pentacles – Tarot Clarity

Tarot Clarity – Mars in Leo – Knight of Pentacles

July 1, 2019July 6, 2019 by Dia Holly Hemlock

July 1st 2019: Mars enters Leo with swagger and thrust. Whenever the action planet shifts from a water sign to a fire sign, there is a palpable snap of attitude, ferocity, and forward momentum. In Aries, Mars wants to experiment. In Sagittarius, Mars wants to explore. In Leo, Mars wants to express. The shift from Cancer to Leo brings the direction of our actions away from relating and compromise, and towards our own unique passions and plans.

The Knight of Pentacles represents building on the totality of our experiences in the material realm to dream about the new worlds we can create. This card encompasses the energy of a person who achieved the pinnacle of success in a traditional career, then quit to open their own small business focused on their favorite hobby.

The Knight of Pentacles for Mars in Leo is a symbol of imagination, effort, and performance. It reminds us that we are so much more than what we can see on the surface. We are not defined by the physical appearance and status symbols that we’ve chosen, nor are we defined by our successes and failures. The essence of Mars in Leo is the heartspace solar fire that fuels our choices about how we work with our resources, make plans, and express ourselves.

Tarot Clarity – Vesta in Taurus – Two of Pentacles

June 9, 2019June 10, 2019 by Dia Holly Hemlock

June 9th 2019: The goddess of the hearth enters Taurus, the sign of gathering resources. The name Vesta literally means Hearth- a reference not to the fire itself, but the container where the fire is built, stoked, and preserved.

The Two of Pentacles can be summarized as, the card of unfinished business. Like a foundation that has been set, for a house that has not yet been built; Like a collection of paints and brushes, that will be used to create a masterpiece; Like a casual acquaintance, that is destined to become a close friend.

Vesta in Taurus as the Two of Pentacles is a message about collecting your firewood. A Hearth is an empty chamber until we fill it with fuel and attend to it with our devotion.

Tarot Clarity – Sekhmet in Taurus – Ten of Pentacles

May 31, 2019June 4, 2019 by Dia Holly Hemlock

May 31st 2019: Sekhmet, the Great Lady of The House of Life, the Devouring One, enters Taurus, the sign of growth establishing itself above ground. Seeds rupturing, reaching for the Sun.

The Ten of Pentacles indicates that prosperity has been achieved and is pointing the way to a new creative purpose. The Ten of Pentacles is the card of someone who has saved up, bought a big house, and filled it with beautiful furnishings and decorations. Financial prosperity has a limit, beyond the point where our needs are met, more money and more posessions will not bring us more happiness. When the material series is complete, the creative series must begin. The purpose of the symbolic big house, is to fill it with symbolic children.

The Ten of Pentacles for Sekhmet in Taurus represents the gardener pulling the non-thrivers away from the robust ones, so the quality of the garden can achieve maximum success.

Tarot Clarity – Pluto in Capricorn – Nine of Pentacles

April 29, 2019April 30, 2019 by Dia Holly Hemlock

Pluto, king of the Kuiper Belt/Underworld in Capricorn, the southernmost realm of the Sun: 2008 – 2023. Gutting and cleaning. Endgame for the corporate structures that are manufacturing the end of life as we know it. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

The Nine is a crisis that indicates something nearing its completion. The orientation of the coins on the Nine of Pentacles shows that in the material realm, crisis is the herald of a new arrival.

Pluto in Capricorn as the Nine of Pentacles shows that the old world is dying and it will not persist in its current form. It will fall no matter what because its time is up. Meanwhile the new world needs midwives- this is where Pluto is transforming our individual life paths and the barriers that separate us from each other, so we will be able to participate in creating a new society.

Tarot Clarity – Sun in Taurus – Queen of Pentacles

April 20, 2019April 28, 2020 by Dia Holly Hemlock

The Sun enters Taurus, fixed earth sign of acquiring and accumulating, establishing and stabilizing, a walled garden filled with row after row of sprouts. For most of the northern hemisphere this is the season of the return of warmth.

Pentacles represent the physical realm- bodies, clothes, houses, cars, computers, money, food- the factors that shape our inner self-image and external identity.

The Queen of Pentacles has maximum awareness of the sensory experience, immersed in the present moment. Her intense focus on The Way Things Are makes her resistant to compromise. She is what Alejandro Jodorowsky calls “the dog that defends the sun buried in her heart at the cost of her life.”

The Sun in Taurus as the Queen of Pentacles represents the stubborn bull: absorbed in the individual experience of living in a body, weighed down by the inertia of unwillingness to change.

Tarot Clarity – Apophis in Gemini – Four of Pentacles

March 24, 2019April 30, 2019 by Dia Holly Hemlock

March 24th 2019: Asteroid Apophis enters Gemini, the god of chaos trickery in the realm of the wind, directionless, omnidirectional, gentle breeze and lethal tornado.

Consciousness seeks patterns to construct order out of chaos. Chaos is the source, the origin of all structures we create with our minds. And when two negative numbers are multiplied together, the result is positive.

The Four of Pentacles is about bodily integrity and the stability of the physical form. The phoenix burns at the center of the four corners, the unseen process of cellular division and destruction that sustains life. Homeostasis is the defining quality of being alive, to strive for stability and security within a chaotic universe.

Apophis in Gemini as the Four of Pentacles is the never-ending stream of chaotic sensory information that enters the hypothalamus.

Apophis in Gemini as the Four of Pentacles is a symbol of how our pattern-seeking thoughts can be a factor in how the nature of chaos manifests into the order of flesh.

Tarot Clarity – Uranus in Taurus – Ace of Pentacles

March 6, 2019April 30, 2019 by Dia Holly Hemlock

On March 6th 2019, shortly after midnight on the west coast, Uranus enters tropical Taurus, finalizing his ingress into the sign of the bull for the next seven years. Uranus in Taurus will have a strong influence on developments in virtual reality, cryptocurrency, and medical technology, as well as earthquakes and weather changes affecting how land and water are used.

The Ace of Pentacles represents the origin point of all possibilities of manifestation on the physical plane. With Uranus in Taurus, it represents the power of human consciousness to revolutionize the way we make use of our resources and experience life corporeally. All social/cultural advances that improve quality of life, are the outer reflection of inner advances in human consciousness as we increase our understanding that we are all one.

The mechanistic view of consciousness says that each person’s thoughts are independently generated within their brain- but in reality, thoughts are generated in the collective and emerge into our individual awareness.

Your thoughts are yours, just as each breath you take is yours, but the air you breathe and the thoughts you think, don’t originate independently within you. We can regulate our thoughts, just as we can regulate breathing, but the body vessel is designed to keep both processes occuring with or without your conscious participation. You are not breathing, you are being breathed; You are not thinking, you are Being Thought.

Uranus in Taurus will transform society, and each of us will play a part in that transformation, with or without our conscious participation. The Ace of Pentacles reminds us that we are not isolated individuals solely responsible for manifesting our own desires- we are all connected by the ocean of source, so we all share responsibility for bringing hope and optimism to the revolution.
