FROM THE EDITOR

Hello Everyone! The Tarot site at BellaOnline is beginning to grow again. Great new products geared to the practice of serious Tarot reading are now featured in the Tarot shop. Visit us at http://www.bellaonline.com/Site.asp?name=Tarot to check them out! This week we look at the Planetary and Symbolic trends around us - by examining the energy of Water and the Moon (the card in focus this week). February 26th brings the full moon in Virgo - a time to attend to unfinished business and get ourselves organized. This newsletter will also feature a question and answer section in the future. If you have a question you would like to see published in the newsletter or you wish to contribute to this publication, kindly send in your submission to BellaOnline by emailing me at tarot@bellaonline.org.

The Energy of Water

Today, February 26^th is the time of the Full Moon in Virgo. As well, the Sun is now in Pisces bringing a strong watery energy to the Full Moon activity. This is a time for assimilating all you have learned and for assessing your level of inner growth. It is a time of high ideals and inner scrutiny. Many of us will not be satisfied with what we see when we reflect on our selves. It is time to face the reality of our being and to work with ourselves, from where we are now. It is a time of romantic love, of tender swooning moments. The best thing to do right now is to find a peaceful, serene place near water where you can be alone to reflect and examine your life and current state of development. This is also an excellent time to get in touch with your creative self. Writing, sculpting, acting, singing, sketching, dancing or visualizing will all unleash the muse within. This is also a time for gentle happy times with close friends. A time of daydreams and contemplation.

The entire CUPS suit is watery by nature. These fourteen cards (Ace to King) represent spiritual authority, contemplation and inner feelings. Cups tell us stories about our hearts, our loves and our inner self. The sacred symbology of the cups suit is the Holy Grail, the chalice of all chalices. Like the Grail, we are precious vessels worthy of reflection and inner work. Our beings have depth and character, deep pools of rich energy and insight if we will only take the time to look and discover.

The MOON

The tarot card that matches the energy this week is THE MOON . The Moon is the 18 ^th trump card of the Major Arcana. It is ruled by Pisces, the sign prevalent at this time until March 20^th. The Moon encourages us to rely on our instincts and intuition rather than on linear rational assessments of events, especially when looking for possible solutions to problems. The Moon stands for the subconscious waters that flow in our dreams and visionary reveries. The Moon points out what is hidden within us. It shows what we must confront, not ignore. We must face the unknown element represented by The Moon. It tells us to seize the challenge our subconscious presents and not run from it, or we lose the opportunity of enlightenment. Passage, Choice, Truth, Illusion, and Romance are all qualities of the Moon card. The Moon´s influences touches on psychism, internal development and ease of inner communication. This all personifies the commonly accepted feminine trait of intuition and internal insight. It represents subconscious awareness, intuition, the mystical.
