To pursue gold or shoot higher, for platinum? Either seems equally distant from the lead at the moment, but really, it can’t be that much harder to go the one step further. A thousand and one steps instead of a thousand. And the process isn’t too different. Both will require […]

You do not “clear the air” with a silverfish. You drop a heavy book on it from shoulder height and simply wipe up the splat, throw the tissue in the toilet, and get on with your day. No discussion, no wavering. No agreeing to be friends with the enemy. If […]
For every knot, the bamboo grows taller, reaching towards the distant stars. Scar tissue, but it helps support against gravity when normal flesh wishes to collapse to the ground. Stretch and reach up. You never know who might grab your wrists and pull you up through the haze.
There are priests and then there are shamans. Shamans predate priests, arising in simpler times with smaller groups. They are of their people even though they are often removed to the fringe, with the right hand reaching out to their tribe and the left hand to their source of power. […]
This is the place of the blackening. Push through and out. The old life is destroyed, there is no going back. This much is now fully understood. Back to the plans and maps forward. Fear of the unknown. Fear of the currently known takes over and pushes. Move with the […]
Shell shocked. Time to escape the shell and go to the animal core. Where Capricorn lives his whole life, a new way of living starts to flicker on the edge of the radar. There’s no way back to the old way anymore anyway. Time is too short for angels, cast […]
Pendulum swings wildly between extremes, can a synthesis be attained between? If so, the new equilibrium can only come through work and art. A new normal established note by note, line by line.
It’s supposed to read metamorphosis, not oblivion. Entering a chrysalis. Doesn’t always work out that way. The surroundings are forever marred and shifted, hopefully for the better. Shedding skin. Retreating even beyond the Hanged Man’s lair. Remember, though, that only life can truly separate.
Suspended, floating, frozen in time or so it seems. The eye of the hurricane, where everything is painfully slow like trying to escape the molasses flood and each breath seems to take an eternity yet the world around moves too fast to process or grasp. Subtle growth is being made […]
Also called adjustment or equilibrium. All things have their counterbalance, their equal and opposite reaction. Scales and proportions, dynamic tension and minute adjustments on the fly in the most precarious positions. Legal proceedings and transactions, weighing all options.
A turn for all seasons. Flipping fortune, fast or slow. Intelligence and balance, unstable but brilliant reason, sluggish ignorance. Which is on top and which falls by the wayside? All situations hold the possibility of regeneration if you can find the key. Destiny calls.
In some ways the partner of the Hierophant, or the Hierophant himself at different points in his life. Retiring from the cruel world to rely on yourself alone, to see how far your own abilities can take you. To process the lessons you’ve learned and to come up with new […]
She has collared the lion for her mount, regal bearing seemingly without effort. Overt displays of strength usually hide a weak core, look for the lightest of touches to move mountains instead. Joy in desire and the achievement thereof. Strength through joy. Control of your own life and will. Use […]
Pull yourself forward, any means, any way. Victory in forward motion. Beasts under yokes, harvest that power in the Beast, in the emotions to drive creation.
