The biggest opportunity we have ever had as a nation sits squarely on our shoulders for the next 3 weeks. It is confusing, upsetting, and terrifying and that does not begin to describe how it really feels. We can make headway through a lot of traps we have set for ourselves but we still have much to learn.
The cards show we have the opportunity to walk away from what is not real. The blinders are off, finally, and we begin to see that we need to rearrange our place in the world. The idea of fixing ourselves and not something outside of ourselves takes hold. If we could just start to see ourselves as stewards and not owners we will have conquered the largest part of ego, that same ego that seems to have had a huge hand in creating the problems we have in the first place.
The number 8 is prominent in the reading as well as the suit of Coins, not surprising. 8 is a money number, it also indicates a connection between the above and below, or the internal and the external. It reads for me as a point of crossing or indicates a crossroads. In this instance a crossroads for consciousness. We are fast approaching a split not between the haves and the have-not's but between the ego identified and the ego aware. 8 in the tarot is linked to the Magician card, the Strength card and the Chariot card.
If you are tied into psychological time, as Eckhart Tolle calls it, or tied into ego, identifying with the outer world totally and not accepting the inner world, then this is a point in existence where opportunities to shift away from ego begin to wane. The longer we stay tied into ego with no attempt to recognize the power inside us, the more real that ego becomes and along with it depression, fear, anxiety, violence, abuse, addiction, slavery. It becomes more and more difficult to find your way back. Any addict will tell you so.
So start with yourself and stop reacting to the discussion outside of you (that includes the chattering in the mind) and start responding and acting toward the life inside you and watch your circumstances change. “Things” don't matter during a hurricane but people's lives do—aren't we in the middle of the biggest hurricane you've ever seen?
The final weeks before the election will be down right bizarre.
Don't spend it all in one place.

Chariots, Scooters, Automobiles, Personal Boundaries – Free Weekly Horoscopes
June 2 - July 1
If you are having trouble keeping certain types of individuals out of your space, certain types of information and energies away from you and your home, then the Chariot card is your card of the week, well, month actually. We have entered the sign of Cancer and the crab like tendency to grab and hang on to anything that moves and is appealing is now officially active for all of us. But so are the comforts of home, deep levels of creativity and personal safety issues.
Signs & Symbols of the Chariot
Each of the traditional tarot cards have all sorts of signs, symbols, areas of the body and other esoteric information associated with them. The Chariot card is associated with the astrological sign of Cancer, the crab. Take a close look at the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck and you will notice that the Charioteers breastplate/armor is drawn like the shape and texture of a crab’s underbelly. The Chariot is a protective spiritual device.
The Chariot also makes reference to anything we use as transportation – scooters, cars, buses and our own bodies. When reading on a very mundane level, an everyday put one foot in front of the other what’s going to happen when I cross the street kind of reading, this card pops up as car trouble, car repairs, let’s buy an new card, etc. depending on its surrounding cards. It also symbolizes the emotional body.
Are You Working For Or Against Yourself?
On a more spiritual level, the Chariot is a reference to your body (which is your spiritual home or sacred temple), to your emotional and psychic boundaries and your personal space. Make note over the next month, while we are swimming around in the sign of Cancer, of your ability to control the life of your emotions and the direction of your thoughts. Where are your boundaries and are they working for you or against you?
Notice the Charioteer holds no reins and his unconventional drivers are perfectly comfortable with this and act in a right manner. We sometimes drag a boundary with us that was useful when we were young but is no longer helpful. Or we are shown no boundaries when in order to become a fully functioning adult we need a boundary or two.
How To Use The Chariot Card
How do these ideas work in your own story? The charioteer is at home in his/her own skin. His/her ability to discern what works well is intact and functioning at a high level. Can you say the same?
When you are confronted with what you perceive as a personal invasion from others, meditate or gaze upon the Chariot card for more insight.
