The winter solstice has arrived, bringing with it a time of introspection and preparation as we enter the Hermit Year. With Mars in retrograde and the Strength Year coming to a close, the energy of hibernation and reflection is upon us. This season’s tarotscope, using the Mixed Signals Tarot deck by M Eilo, offers insights into the collective consciousness and individual astrological signs.
The tarotscope begins with a focus on the Seed and Root cards, representing what has been planted and what is growing. The Fighter of Stones and The Hermit cards symbolize the need for grounding and introspection during this period of transition. As we navigate the uncertainties of the future, it is essential to embrace the unknown and trust in our intuition.
For the Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), the Two of Stones card urges a balance of energies and a preparation for the fiery creative impulses that lie ahead. Taking stock of your resources and honing your skills will be crucial in harnessing your creative potential.
Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) are advised to embrace the energy of the Two of Wands, which encourages planning and laying the groundwork for future endeavors. Like a gardener tending to their plants, nurturing new ideas and collaborations will lead to fruitful outcomes.
Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are guided by the Three of Stones, signifying the importance of collaboration and solidifying plans with others. By gathering your thoughts and engaging with your community, you will lay the foundation for future success.
Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are presented with the Five of Cups, a card that speaks to emotional healing and transformation. Embracing your vulnerabilities and allowing yourself to feel deeply will lead to profound growth and renewal.
As we approach the end of the Strength Year and transition into the Hermit Year, it is a time for introspection, healing, and growth. By embracing the energies of the tarot cards and aligning with the elemental forces that resonate with us, we can navigate this period of transition with grace and wisdom.
