Tarotscopes for March 2006

Tarotscopes are cast using a combination of astrology and tarot cards. Each month I will pull a fresh card for every sign of the zodiac to see what influences are in the stars for your love life. To get even more out of your tarotscope, read your moon sign and rising sign. It will give you a better grasp on your larger picture. If you are born on the cusp, read the sign near you as well. You can never be armed with too much information to make the right moves in that age-old mating dance! For example, I was born on January 23, so I read Aquarius and Capricorn. My moon sign is Virgo and my rising sign is Leo so I read those signs as well. Your moon sign is your feminine side and the side you become more like as you pass through middle age. Your rising sign is your public face, the mask you wear before people get to know you. You can have an astrology chart cast at astrology.net or astroadvice.com.

Mercury goes retrograde on March 2 and stays that way until the 25th. This can be a difficult time for many people as Mercury retrograde often signifies communication breakdown. Expect arguments and misunderstandings as well as computer glitches and car problems. Don’t sign any contracts during this time unless you absolutely have to.

Aries
Queen of pentacles
If you are a woman, you want to be the top this month. You want your lover to follow your commands and shower you with riches. You may find yourself purchasing something soft and sexy to wear in the bedroom. If you are a man, you may find yourself dominated by a strong willed woman. You should obey her commands and see where it all leads. Buy your lady something velvet or satiny. A bottle of fine wine and some chocolate will kick off foreplay very nicely. You may even have fun with body paint.

Taurus
Two of wands
Taurus may have a wandering eye this month. Yes, you probably are in a relationship with someone right now, but you aren’t totally satisfied. You are looking for something else, although you aren’t too sure what it is. Even better, someone has his or her eye on you. You may find that getting out of the house and going to a club where you can try something kinky, such as spanking, might bring some excitement into your life.

Gemini
Five of wands
You may not be seeing eye to eye with your lover right now. If you are looking for love, be careful how you present yourself, after all, mercury is retrograde and it’s easy to be misunderstood. Free spirited Gemini may not want to be tied down but your lover may have different ideas. Take that combative energy and fuel it into sex. Try a bit of bondage or spanking. Don’t forget to use safe words so that no one gets hurt.

Cancer
Temperance
Cancer may be waiting for something to happen with a current lover. You are suited for each other but you need to have patience for the next level of commitment. Have a nice date with wine or champagne in a Jacuzzi. If you don’t have a Jacuzzi, the bathtub will do just fine. Water calms everyone down and can be a good starter for a night of great sex. Massage each other’s feet for a warm up. Take your time to really touch and feel each other. Cancer can bring a calming energy to other more high-strung signs.

Leo
Magician
This month seems magical for Leo. Whatever you desire you can have, if you get your act together and go for it. Sometimes Leo wants other people to do the work for him, but this month, you’re on your own. Leos who are into SM may find themselves purchasing new whips or floggers and other equipment. You love to have the best and want to have a willing partner. Whoever you want to play with will fall under your spell.

Virgo
Four of swords
Virgo has been under a lot of stress lately and needs to take a step back and just relax. Go on a cruise or some sort of trip. You will likely meet someone new and interesting if you can open up your heart and mind. Don’t prejudge your potential mates, just go with the flow. You may enjoy some time at a swingers club or a singles resort. After you spend some time alone with your thoughts, go out and find a partner. You may want to add a spank bench or bondage table to your equipment.

Libra
Three of wands
You are waiting for Mr. or Ms Right to come waltzing along. The good news is that he or she is coming into your life. The bad news is that it’s going to take a while. You may be waiting for a loved one who has gone on a trip or who lives far away. In the meantime, explore your options. Try a threesome with no strings attached. Be adventurous with a bit of bondage. Some spanking and flogging might be just what you need to wake up your senses.

Scorpio
Judgment
No one likes to face judgment day. This is the time when all your past actions come back to haunt you. If you have been a good boy or girl, then you will be ok. If you have done someone wrong, be prepared for the universe to kick you in the butt. You may have led a secret life or alternative lifestyle and now someone has discovered your secret. You also have to learn to not be quick to judge other people. If you have a secret, do your best to keep it. Meet in dark places and cover your tracks. Some Scorpios may enjoy sex in a graveyard or other forbidden place.

Sagittarius
Page of swords
Someone younger then you is demanding your attention. Don’t get impatient with people; you don’t know what you are talking about half the time. Your lover may get on your nerves because Mercury is retrograde and you will have misunderstandings. Take that nervous energy into the bedroom where it belongs. Tie up your lover or maybe you want to be tied up. Tickling will bring the joy back into your life. Use feathers and scarves. Be playful and don’t get bent out of shape over that which you can’t control.

Capricorn
Wheel of fortune
Everything is in flux right now. You may be ending things with an old lover and looking around for a new one. You may find that your lover isn’t who you thought he or she was. Things will only get more exciting. Try new experiences and new outfits. Change your image and embrace new ideas. If you’ve wanted to try swinging or group sex, this is the perfect time to experiment. You can even take the chance at having an affair and probably won’t get caught.

Aquarius
Six of swords
Aquarius is always changing directions and here you go again. You are trying to have an attitude adjustment about your lover, lack of lover, sex, your sexuality identity, the whole idea of everything. Whatever path you choose to take, it will only get better. You should take a cruise, maybe a swingers or singles cruise, so that you can hook up with like minded people. Sex on a boat sounds exciting for this month. You may want to test out your bisexual tendencies.

Pisces
Heirophant
Pisces may be swinging both ways this month. The fish is a dual personality at the best of times and now your sexual curiosity may have you trying experiences that you’ve dreamed about but never dared try. The universe is telling you to take alternative paths to reach your goals. You may be juggling two lovers or you may even be looking to tie the knot with your lover. This is a good time to try swinging or joining in an orgy. You may be feeling so dominant that you want to have two slaves for a while.
