Dragon Landing: It's time to get busy.

Collective Casting Card of the Week, March 31 - April 06, 2024: 13. ARIES/ XIX CRYSTAL

Extended Message:  

In love affairs, you will want to take the lead. You may attract spontaneous and enthusiastic lovers. Be ready to reach new plateaus. There may be the opportunity for more than one lover.

Be advised to think beyond acting with aggression, especially in the emotional dramas. In relationships, you or your partner will expect total freedom. 

However, avoid being quick tempered because when this card turns up there is a need for caution. Be steady and measured rather than hot, blooded or impulsive. 

This marks the time where you need to be sensitive to the concerns of others, since you will want to move fast and strong without thinking things through.

You may find yourself running into walls. You will not want to compromise right now, but you should do just that. Sometimes it's best to allow bygones to be bygones and let it go. 

Any fighting or conflicts will not serve you at this time. In fact, it may poison the waters and make matters worse.

Care must be taken to not be too foolish or rash. However, it's time to work for a cause and get things started. Just make sure you finish all you start.

UPRIGHT: Inspiration, new opportunities, growth, potential

REVERSED: An emerging idea, lack of direction, distractions, delays

In the Ace of Wands, a hand holding a sprouting wand extends out from a cloud, as if to offer a new opportunity or idea with the potential to grow. The rich, verdant landscape is further confirmation of this growth capability. 

In the distance on the left sits a castle, representing the promise of opportunities to come, and hills and mountains line the horizon. Their rolling peaks remind us that there will always be challenges along the way, but they are surmountable with enough effort.

Collective Casting Card of the Week, March 24 - 30, 2024: 5. MARS / XIV ORBRON

Extended Message:  

This card also means to push back in terms of defense. When Mars is strong in a chart or a reading, you may either face aggressive actions with a need to confront or defend, or an intense, rousing sexual encounter which may or may not involve romance. Mars indicates overwhelming attractions.

This is a time when you feel not only forced but driven. It is a good time to consider goals and desires and not allow them to fall into the shadows. Right now, action is needed and it is not a good time to sit back and wait.

Turning up this card infers that a fire has been lit under the passions and it is time to achieve what you want in life. 

At least you are being shown a clear path. It could be romantic or sexual in nature, or it could also involve other types of relationships, but more importantly, goals that should be pursued at the current time and as vigorously as possible. It can also indicate A formidable competitor has just arrived on the scene.

Other issues to do with this card include the law, the military, sport and games, challenges of all kinds, becoming more physically active and involved, but also fiery tempers and actual fires.

The question to ask now is how to take action. How do you create momentum to achieve your goals and dreams? Have you been challenged to protect your own interests? Are you being pushed too hard by something or someone? How do you clear your path to get what you want? Are you willing to battle? Has someone or a situation challenged you to a fight?

THE EMPEROR 

UPRIGHT: Authority, establishment, structure, a father figure

If The Empress is the Mother archetype of the Tarot deck, The Emperor is the Father. He sits upon a large stone throne, adorned with four rams’ heads (symbolic of his connection with Aries and the planet Mars). In his right hand, The Emperor holds an ankh, the Egyptian symbol of life, and in his left is an orb representing the world over which he rules.

He wears a red robe, indicative of his power, passion, and energy for life. 

Underneath it, he wears a suit of armor, suggesting that he is protected from any threat (and any emotional response or vulnerability). His long white beard is symbolic of his age-old wisdom and experience, and along with his gold crown, he is an authority figure who demands to be heard.

Behind his throne looms a tall, impenetrable mountain range, signifying that he is backed by a solid foundation but resistant to making any changes unless he deems it necessary. 

Beneath the peaks flows a small river, giving some hope that despite his tough exterior, he is still an emotional being – it will just take a lot of digging and trust to open him up to his softer side.

Collective Casting Card of the Week, March 17 - 23, 2024: 52. VOID OF COURSE / VII MAGIC AND MANIFESTATION  

Extended Message:  

Don’t bail anyone out or make loans currently because it is unlikely you will be repaid.

Medical results will probably not be accurate. If your question is about a job or career move, then it’s not the right one. If you apply for a job and get hired, it will not be long-lasting. It’s possible you will get hired and then a more suitable job will come along, and you will have to leave the first one.

After a long and costly effort, your matter in question may fail. People around you may start behaving like screwups. It could be that great passions are playing against you. Discipline is needed. It is not a time to act impulsively. 

Whatever you do as your routine will stay as it is. However, matters that are unplanned or spontaneous will tend to work out for you.

A v/c Moon can be used to your benefit, so keep this in mind. For instance, you can work on something you really don’t want. You can interact with persons you don’t really want to become a fixture in your life. Embarking on anything new or untried will tend to go wrong. 

In other words, if you agree to plans you don’t really want to come about during the v/c phase, then it will be very likely they will not come about.

However, meditation and any type of psychic or spiritual efforts will work out better during this v/c phase. It’s a good time to dream and even make plans; just do not act on them yet.

Also, do not plan a wedding! Keep in mind, the time is not yet ripe.

Eight of Cups Keywords

UPRIGHT: Disappointment, abandonment, withdrawal, escapism.

Eight of Cups Description:

In the Eight of Cups, a man walks away from the eight cups standing in the foreground. The cups are arranged in such a way that it looks like one is missing, a sign that emotional fulfillment and wholeness is lacking. The man has turned his back on these cups with a sense of loss and disappointment and shuffles away into the mountains.  

A nearby river symbolizes his emotions, and the mountains represent the awareness that this will not be an easy journey (though it will be necessary for true long-term happiness). The moon in the night’s sky illuminates the path ahead – the man is leaving in the dead of night hoping to go unnoticed, suggesting that there may be a level of escape or avoidance in this card.

The pleasure principle in a temptation to spend a lot of money may also factor in you could take a gamble and win but show caution.

Tarot: STRENGTH

UPRIGHT: Strength, courage, persuasion, influence, compassion

In the Strength Tarot card, a woman gently strokes a lion on its forehead and jaw. Even though it is known for its ferociousness, the woman has tamed this wild beast with her calming, loving energy. The lion is a symbol of raw passions and desires, and in taming him, the woman shows that animal instinct and raw passion can be expressed in positive ways when inner strength and resilience are applied. She doesn’t use force or coercion; she channels her inner strength to subdue and subtly control the lion.

The woman wears a white robe, showing her purity of spirit, and a belt and crown of flowers that represent the fullest, most beautiful expression of nature. Over her head is the symbol of infinity, representing her infinite potential and wisdom.

30. SIXTH HOUSE - ROUTINE, equivalence SEVEN OF PENTACLES

"The body is a sacred garment" ~ Martha Graham

SIXTH HOUSE – ROUTINE, Tarot equivalent SEVEN OF PENTACLES ( below )  

You must change your usual way of looking at things.

An alternative health approach may work best for you now, and you may find yourself interested in Reiki, acupuncture, chiropractors, health supplements, herbs, and visits to health food stores. Becoming involved in these matters professionally may also develop.

As the Six house, it has everything to do with your routine and your schedule. It would also be to your benefit to become as organized as you can at this time, any type of disorganization could defeat your plans.

It's time to pay attention to the small particulars rather than the larger picture. The larger picture cannot develop without the minute details. You may find yourself worrying over little matters, which is exhausting. 

Visits to libraries and schools may somehow assist you in your plans. It's important to be analytical in your endeavors or they may come unraveled and not turn out in the ideal way you want. Perfection is not Necessary to success. 

Completing what you start is more important. However, the Six House card does not suggest. You insist on quality and usefulness.

You may find yourself critical at this time, or others will seem to be critical of you. You may want to clear up or correct matters which have become unhinged or at least off track. Efficiency and doing the right thing at the right time will serve you in the coming days.

This is probably not an easy time because it is not meant to be. For something to really serve you in the best way possible with the outcome you are wanting, you will have to go step by step and have patience. It is not likely to happen fast, but whatever you manage to accomplish will stick and serve you well in the future.

SEVEN OF PENTACLES

UPRIGHT: Long-term view, sustainable results, perseverance, investment.

In the Seven of Pentacles, a man leans on his hoe, gazing down at his abundant crop. He has worked long and hard to nurture tiny seeds into this thriving garden and can now take a break to enjoy the fruits of his labor. 

Note the expression in his face, however: he also looks fatigued – even a little ‘over it’ – from having worked so hard for this successful harvest. Success comes from hard work and patience, but this card reminds you to take care not to overdo it and exhaust yourself.
