Astrology and Tarot

Curious about the zodiac, the planets and their never-ceasing movements across the sky? Want to know more about life-changing events like eclipses? Are you fascinated by the full moon or the new moon? Do you know what it means when a planet is retrograde or the changes that occur when a planet enters a new sign? Is a Sabian Symbol some kind of musical instrument? These mysteries will all be revealed–just check Tarot Elements for my latest Astrology blog post, where these topics are often discussed. If you don’t know tons about astrology, don’t worry: this is a “de-jargonization zone” where I gab about what’s going on in the heavens without a lot of astro-gobbledegook gumming up the works!

You’ll also find a brief description of the daily planetary energies on the Tarot Elements Facebook page, along with our usual lively discussions about tarot and astrology matters–everyone’s welcome to join in!
