EIGHT OF SWORDS
The 8 of Swords, like its siblings in the other suits, is about choice and having faith in the process of change. Often, it depicts situations where we’re kept stuck by our own thoughts, fears and lack of perspective. Our brains are wired to feel that what’s familiar, even if harmful, is safer than the alternative of the unknown, and this card asks us to work on rewiring those patterns so we can grow.
THREE OF SWORDS
The image of the 3 of Swords is perhaps one of the most striking in traditional decks. We see a heart pierced through by three swords against a rainy background – not the most comforting imagery. And it is a challenging card, but it’s no omen of doom.
THE LOVERS – you got me // i got you
VMin as the Lovers?? During a collective 💘lovers💘 year?* Stunning! Actually groundbreaking! We absolutely love to see it.
Number six in the major arcana – and, in many figurative decks, the first card in the deck to feature two figures – the lovers is often aligned with the mercurial duality & (self)-twinship of Gemini. Big Mikrokosmos – “you got me // I got you” – vibes.
JUPITER IN PISCES
Tae is special. He’s an eccentric who is at once unplaceable and larger than life. He follows a particular set of personal standards while being unpredictable. He’s a lover of classical, timeless things who values surprising us with his individuality. He’s cheesy and cliché, and he gets away with it because he understands the power of what he presents and how he conveys meaning. Tae is a contrarian; what you see is what you get, but it always feels like he hasn’t shown us all of his cards just yet. All of this is to say that he represents what it means to be Jupiterian and Saturnian at the same.
Happy Birthday Taehyung!
Happy birthday to our dear Capricorn stellium king, Kim Taehyung / Tete / thv! ARMY, let’s take a moment to express gratitude for how much Tae has fed us this past solar return. Especially recently—from his LA/Hawaii escapades, deleted IG stories, FACIAL HAIR, and of course his tarot reader persona (I’m not over it and never will be)… it’s been great to see him explore/share his individuality, despite the collective difficulties we’re all feeling.
VENUS RETROGRADE
Venus stations retrograde at 26 degrees of Capricorn on the 19th of December, its motion appearing to reverse through the sky until the 29th of January 2022. When a planet is retrograde, linearity has less of the usual grip on its function. Instead, the motion is a kind of wandering, searching and excavating which can unearth essential hidden information.
TWO OF CUPS
Twos in tarot numerology represent duality, union, balance, and partnership. When the Two of Cups comes up for you, it can act as a mirror through which we're invited to embrace and integrate all parts of ourselves. This can happen through another person, where the relationship provides a container for recognition, mutual respect, and love. The relationship flows with ease when you're together. Whether this is your best friend or your soul mate, there is a harmonious balance and reciprocity between you two.
