Death and the Magician

Today I am using the Hanson Roberts tarot deck to get some insight into the energies of the day.

The first card is Death and this signifies the end of a cycle or phase in your life and the importance of accepting it. This is the time to let go and adapt yourself to oncoming changes in your situation. What's ended or is about to end has reached a natural and inevitable closure. There is nothing further you can do about this situation and it is best to let life takes its course from here rather than resisting or fighting the forces of nature. Every ending portends the beginning of something new so look forward to what lies ahead of you instead of looking at the past. If you trust in the innate wisdom of the universe you will find this period of transition not only easy but enlightening. It may be the only way to avoid stagnation and allow growth. This may also point to mundane issues like shedding an old routine, end of a project or milestone, end of conflict / relationship issue or a health issue. Whether the ending itself  invokes either positive or negative feelings, remember that it was necessary and would take you forward into the next phase of your life. Acceptance is important as is hoping for the best and staying positive about what is to come.

The second card is the Magician and this points today to a surge of energy and determination to make things work for you. Your will power and desire for action will manifest positive results in your life provided you are able to channel your energy in a clear and focused manner to your goal. Make sure you have all resources and tools of trade handy before you start. This is a good time to do something you truly desire and focus all your energies to that purpose. This card suggests great personal power and much depends on how you use it to serve your purpose, whether you choose to inspire or manipulate. Do not give way to distractions or negative thinking. Astrologically, this is represented by the planet Mercury which is about communication, intellect and the power of expression. With perfect integration of thought, words and action you can make magic happen.

The constant flow of things involving ending followed by another new beginning seems to be the key theme for today. Try and maintain a balance between your emotional and intellectual response to these cyclical forces. And remember true power comes from within when we think and act consciously and with positive intent.
Have a great day!
