The Emperor (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day
The Emperor is an archetype for establishing firm foundations through assertive energy. He also teaches you that "feeling secure" can only exist when you protect your boundaries. If you don't speak up for yourself, you are wearing a sign that tells others that they can take control of your life and its direction. To the Emperor, this is the same as ceding his crown to an invading warlord. The Emperor’s personal honor code forbids it. The Emperor is the personification of the voice within your head that wants you to speak up assertively when something isn’t right. If you feel angry, that others are thoughtless or disrespectful toward you, it's probably because you haven't been letting your "inner Emperor" speak up.
Do you feel disrespected by others, and that your personal boundaries are being tested?Do you have trouble saying "no," without an apologetic excuse or a fib? Do you think assertive people are mostly belligerent jerks, who are selfish and don't care about others? The Emperor is seated on his throne, decorated with rams. Rams charge, defending their territory and their mates. The Emperor wears armor under his robes. This symbolizes that he ready for action at any time, to stand up and protect his realm. His beard symbolizes thoughtful maturity. The Emperor is never "aggressive," just to prove his masculinity. He takes action only when his world needs to be stabilized and protected. The mountains surrounding him are protective barriers. They are also his seat of power. From their peaks, he can survey all of his realm, and take action to protect his boundaries from barbarian invaders. He is completely relaxed with the scepter, and the orb. The scepter it a symbol for "male," the orb is a symbol for "female." The Emperor holds both in balance, and understands that each are equally indispensable.
The Emperor is a firm figure, the complete opposite of his soft-featured wife, the Empress. The Empress sits relaxed in her garden, dispensing love, peace, and nurturing to her children. However, her garden can only exists because the Emperor protects its borders, giving her a safe space to do her important work. Within you, there is not only an Empress, but an Emperor as well. Both are vitally important to being a balanced human being. If one archetype is ignored, inner turmoil will result.
Our society is obsessed with gender roles. It brainwashes children into believe that life is a series of "boys are this," and "girls are that." Boys should act more aggressive and assertive, girls should be "nicer" and more accommodating. The truth is, we all have both the Empress, and the Emperor archetypes within us. You have both male and female archetypes within, regardless of what gender you are. Both must be respected for balance and harmony to occur. Too much "Emperor" can make you overly aggressive, combative, and belligerent. Too much "Empress" can make you passive, a doormat, and a victim.
Today, the Emperor is calling on you to be assertive.You don't need to "justify" your right to be, but you do need to stand up for it. Respectfully asserting your position is not only healthy, but vital at this time. This could also be a time to create structure to aid in the achievement of a goal. Take responsibility for yourself and your dreams. Stand up and protect your realm. Stop saying "yes" when your inner Emperor is bellowing "NO!"
If you honor the Emperor, he will secure a harmonious garden of joy for you.
The Emperor in a Love ReadingNew RelationshipThe Emperor is “all in” at the start of a relationship when everything is still fresh and new. He will struggle if the relationship becomes routine and ceases to offer new excitement and challenges. Like the astrological sign of Aries, the Emperor thrives on new beginnings. For this relationship to work, there must always be something fresh and exciting to look forward to.
Long Term PartnershipIf the Emperor has made a commitment, he is one of the most stable figures in the tarot for the longevity of relationships. He is protective and responsible role model for children. However, the Emperor tends to be stubborn. You may have to be the one who compromises more in the relationship than he does.
Seeking RomanceIt’s time to make the responsible choice for your love life to improve. Allow your “Inner-adult” to call the shots right now. Stand up for your dignity, boundaries, and self-respect. Don’t waste your time with anyone who’s proven they are beneath you.

The Card of the Day: The Knight of Cups
“The Messenger of Love.”
Order my full book on Amazon!
The Knight of Cups is the tarot’s brave Messenger of Love. This Knight can communicate his deepest feelings without fear or embarrassment. Everywhere he rides, love begins to flow. He represents all forms of love: romantic, passionate, platonic, and familial. He can reintroduce a lonely person into a world of friends and can bring renewed passion to an intimacy-barren relationship. This is because he does not let fear, embarrassment, or shame, keep him from opening his heart. He reminds those who believe they are alone, that they are connected, valuable, loved, and accepted. The Knight of Cups appears when it’s time to be emotionally courageous.
Do you have a hard time expressing your feelings, even to the people you are closest to? Are you too shy, or too scared to open yourself up to connecting with others? When did you last feel passionate or romantic?
The Knight of Cups is so hot! He is completely confident with his feelings and what is more attractive than confidence? He gazes electrically with deep blue eyes, and effortlessly expresses what he desires honestly. He wears the wings of Hermes, the messenger god on his helm and his feet. Fish decorate his tunic. This symbolizes his ability to communicate clearly about deep unconscious feelings that can be hard to put into words. His main message is that communication about feelings heals isolation and confusion. The more difficult the subject, the more healing to be gained from talking about it. However, you must be brave enough to open your heart to others.
You might wonder why you would need to be brave to express love. The answer is that it can be very scary! Even people who have been together for years, can find it difficult to express affection and intimacy. This is especially true if the heart has been wounded by a deep betrayal or loss in the past. The Knight appears to tell us that retreating further from others will never heal the heart. The heart mends when it is brave and open, allowing new experiences to take the place of past hurts.
The Knight of Cups is eternally optimistic that the future will be brighter than times before. He knows that the heart is not as fragile as it pretends to be. It can heal amazingly but must be open to do so. Bring some passion and excitement back into your life. Share, flirt, take a risk, make new friends, but most important open up!
The Knight of Cups inspires you to be courageous, and express love, romance, affection, and passion. Have confidence in your worth and stop being self-conscious. You are more lovable than you think! You don’t need to be in an intimate relationship to begin healing your heart. The first step is to be brave enough to open it.
*Knight of Cups in a Love Reading
New Relationship
The Knight of Cups signifies intense attraction. The pheromones swirling in the air around him can cause you to forego all common sense. Try to remain grounded amid the romantic messages, electric glances, and sexual chemistry. Time will tell if the relationship is viable. This Knight quickly loses interest with a lover who is too starstruck.
Long Term Partnership
For a long-term relationship, the Knight of Cups can represent that rare love, where passion and attraction remain strong even after many years with one another. You probably played your cards expertly to keep this Knight engaged! This is likely a great love for the ages.
Seeking Romance
If you are single, the appearance of the Knight of Cups could foretell exciting romantic possibilities. You might also develop a crush on someone new. The Knight of Cups can also signify a time where you feel bolder and more confident in expressing yourself. Flirt, smile and be less inhibited… what do you have to lose?

Justice (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day
Justice is the archetype of honesty, which is essential for restoring balance and harmony.Lady Justice grasps her mighty Sword of Truth. Her goal is to restore order and equilibrium, symbolized by the golden scales she holds in her left hand. The Justice figure in the tarot is not blindfolded. She sees the situations confronting her clearly. The sword she wields represents that assertive action is needed to cut away the source of our imbalance. Imbalance often occurs when we aren’t being one-hundred percent honest with ourselves. Lady Justice restores balance and clarity through facts.
Do you need to speak your truth to yourself or another, even if the thought of it makes you uncomfortable?Does your life feel balanced right now? What do you need more or less of?
Justice personifies that little voice within us that is observing the truth of a given situation, no matter how inconvenient that truth might be. The figure of Justice is flanked by two gray pillars. The color gray is associated with neutrality.[1] Whenever Justice appears it is helpful to look at all the facts in an unbiased, neutral manner. To be neutral requires that you not let your emotions and expectations distort the facts. Wanting to believe something is true even when the facts prove otherwise will place you on a collision course with a rude awakening. If you look closely, Lady Justice has a square clasp at her neck and a square jewel in her crown. Squares are associated with honesty and strong foundations. We’ve all heard the expression “fair and square.” In astrology squares aren’t considered easy aspects, but they are considered responsible for the development of character and strength. The squares decorating Lady Justice symbolize that truth may not always be easy to confront initially. However, if you choose to proceed with integrity and honesty, you will find yourself on a stable pathway toward happiness, harmony and success.
Lady Justice reminds you to be clear with yourself and others about what you need to restore harmony.Be warned however, it may require you to add the word "N-N-N-N-N-N-No!" to your vocabulary. Justice advises you to approach the source of your imbalance dispassionately. The scales of justice symbolize the need to weigh all the facts before deciding how best to act.
If you've already been doing the work of facing your life honestly, Lady Justice arrives to declare, "Good for you! Isn’t the sensation of balance derived from honesty wonderful?" It takes courage to be honest with yourself. This is especially true if you are attached to a certain outcome. Other cards that appear around Justice can highlight which areas of your life require honesty at this time.
Justice in a Love ReadingNew RelationshipJustice can signify a new partner who is attracted to intelligence, beauty, and elegance. They are repelled by crudeness and have refined taste. Proper etiquette is required when courting this person. They are most attracted to intellectually curious people. Justice people also love to debate issues… just so long as the discussion doesn’t become too heated.
Long Term PartnershipJustice can symbolize a well-balanced, complimentary partnership. Each person strives to uphold the relationship’s integrity through honesty. Often, this card will appear when an important truth needs to be confronted with neutrality. Justice can also indicate legally binding, contractual matters that may make your lives together more “official.”
Seeking RomanceIf you are single, Justice encourages you to seek a relationship partner in an intellectual environment, such as a university, class, or community organization. Broaden your horizons and open your mind to people who aren’t what you consider your “physical type.” You may discover a connection of common interest that leads to something far more substantive.

Ace of Wands (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day
Ace of Wands (Upright) | Tarot Card
The Ace of Wands represents breakthroughs, inspiration and new ideas.It heralds brilliant new thinking that has the potential to grow into solid reality. Like the many branches sprouting from the wand, you are experiencing an exciting period of mental growth. You are branching out into new realms of possibilities. The Ace of Wands motivates freshly inspired concepts, that can carry you over old obstacles.
YouTube video on Ace of Wands (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day
Do you have a lot of great ideas, but lack the confidence to act on them?Do you hesitate on acting toward your dreams because you fear failure? Have you hit the same old brick wall, feeling that it is preventing you from making a huge breakthrough?
A divine hand emerges from the clouds, offering you a magic wand. This wand gives you the opportunity make all your dreams come true. If you were to fully grasp this wand you would be flooded with bright ideas which would bring solutions to old problems. Wands are symbols of brilliant inspiration, seemingly channeled from "above," which helps one transcend previous obstacles. An old, ruined castle sits aloft a hill in the distance. This symbolizes that old barriers of outdated thinking are now crumbling. Former creative blocks are being transcended. New ideas will carry you over previously impenetrable walls.
Wands have a long history of helping characters in the fairy tales overcome seemingly impossible odds.The Fairy Godmother used her magic wand to send Cinderella to the ball in a pumpkin, after all hope seemed lost. But even magic seems to have a catch. The wand's magical effects always seem to have a time limit (such as the stroke of midnight). This symbolizes that you must act fast when divine inspiration strikes you. If you don't take full advantage of your creative ideas.... your carriage will revert to a pumpkin, and your beautiful horses will once again become mice. However, if you do act on the magic being offered (just as Cinderella did), you can go to the ball, make an impression, and transform a magical dream into a wonderful reality.
Cinderella didn't think to herself ..."Well, I am actually just an unpopular cleaning lady.......so even with all these magical opportunities, I'm not going to allow the Prince see my unworthiness. Magic doesn’t exist, so why try?"
No! Cinderella took that fairy's magic and ran with it! Be confident in yourself! You are worthy of any success you can dream for yourself!
The magic of your mind is only as good as your ability to act without hesitation when struck by divine inspiration.
Ace of Wands in a Love ReadingNew RelationshipThe appearance of the Ace of Wands signals the exciting potential of a new romance. Events are still developing, but you definitely share a passionate spark. Let this connection grow organically. The spark can be smothered by needy, obsessive energy. This card can also signify serendipitous romantic encounters in settings that foster creativity or entertainment.
Long Term PartnershipYou and your partner still have that magical spark, even after much time together. You are likely passionate about the same interests. This card encourages you to rekindle passion by attending to intimacy, travel, or exciting mutual goals. Remain spontaneous to keep the spark ignited.
Seeking RomanceIf you are single, the Ace of Wands inspires serendipitous meetings, new passion, and new relationships. Be bold. A fresh breeze of possibility is blowing. Follow where your inspiration seems to be leading you. Listen to your instincts and act on them.

The Fairy Godmother used her magic wand to send Cinderella to the ball in a pumpkin, after all hope seemed lost. But even magic seems to have a catch. The wand's magical effects always seem to have a time limit (such as the stroke of midnight). This symbolizes that you must act fast when divine inspiration strikes you. If you don't take full advantage of your creative ideas.... your carriage will revert to a pumpkin, and your beautiful horses will once again become mice. However, if you do act on the magic being offered (just as Cinderella did), you can go to the ball, make an impression, and transform a magical dream into a wonderful reality.
Cinderella didn't think to herself ..."Well, I am actually just an unpopular cleaning lady.......so even with all these magical opportunities, I'm not going to allow the Prince see my unworthiness. Magic doesn’t exist, so why try?"
No! Cinderella took that fairy's magic and ran with it! Be confident in yourself! You are worthy of any success you can dream for yourself!
The magic of your mind is only as good as your ability to act without hesitation when struck by divine inspiration.
