SAT 25 JULY 09

The Wheel card affirms that my alter ego is an Observer Participant, whose superpower, uncertain opportunity, acts as huckster in a carnival ride of free will, motive and time by assuming roles of game host and player linked by chains of events, or to hedge bets against a Greater Fool. Anything goes. Everything counts. Fate, Luck or a "Cosmic Santa" of Fortune assigned by relative to preordained or random turns are subject to short-sighted cheats or social brands of justice. But it's my entitlement, input, fear, or anticipation along the chain that "spins" labels into gold or coal! Today is a chance to fix, stir or dip into the Quantum Soup, boiling six degrees of separation from connecting to enough, waiting for the Karmic bill or dessert to close the meal in hindsight. But to self-correct by priority I put it on my list, pay my dues by choice and can see it coming to pass full circle.

You may have a sudden moment of self-doubt in your intuition today, especially where it comes to relationships and romance. Someone, most likely an older relative or companion, has cast doubt on your beliefs about your love life. Trust your own feelings.

You feel much more connected to the people around you, so now is a good time for heart-to-hearts and other serious conversations. They don't have to be life-changing, but they should be front and center in your life.

The Hierophant is the protector of culture and traditions. Conventional by nature, he is a staunch defender of the beliefs a group embraces. He represents a spiritual guide and teacher and is someone to go to for guidance and advice. Never one to question authority, he thrives on structure and values and lives a life of conformity.

You might try to avoid or appease a "mother figure" in your family today, but she's likely to be something of a "hard sell". You'll get the message and you will know what needs to be done, but there are some challenges, because she seems a little too determined to be unhappy right now.

You'll have the desire to change your professional horizon, to do a more interesting, more creative job; but can one always do what one likes to? Risk of dispersion; difficulty to concentrate yourself, to gather up your ideas. Satisfy yourself for the moment with carrying out monotonous, repetitive tasks, for which you're perfectly prepared. You'll try to relive certain events of the past, to rediscover certain atmospheres of the revolved times; let the past in oblivion, don't allow it to clutter up your life.

Self-expression on many levels is big for you today, and it won't take long to get back into the swing of something you adore doing. There's a new feel to your job situation, especially when you have more say in what hours you work. Your money-flow should be improving soon if not already.

You are more distressed than usual over any the uneasy energy in your environment or personal relationships, and you are inclined to avoid serious discussions or real disagreements with others. Also, challenging mental work and concentration is difficult for you now. Take a break if possible and just chill out for the day.

You could solicit a pay raise or make active moves to obtain a promotion; success will be assured. If you envisage to change your job, be very careful before staking your future; get all necessary information beforehand. In your conversations absolutely avoid such delicate subjects as religion or politics: the risk of a dispute or loud voices will be important; in any case, keep your opinions to yourself, don't display them and above all don't impose them. This planetary environment will render you attractive and in much better amorous mood than lately. Luck will help you find the soul mate that you're looking for.
