The night of April 30 and the morning of May 1st represent Beltane. This is a time to celebrate fertility, and spring in general. Some people gather at dawn in parks all over the world on May 1st to greet the morning sun. They may sing, chant, dance, weave ribbons around a May pole or even make love as the sun grows stronger. Keep this celebration in mind over the whole of this month!Tarotscopes are cast using a combination of astrology and Tarot cards. Each month, I pull a fresh card for every sign of the Zodiac to see what influences are in the stars. To get even more out of your Tarotscope, read your moon sign and rising sign to get a better grasp on what you need to know. If you are born on the cusp, read the sign near you as well. You can never be armed with too much information as you travel down your life path!
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 on the Internet at sites such as www.astrology.net or www.astroadvice.com.

Aries
Knight of Cups
Spring brings with it new opportunities. Someone will be entering your life that will stir within you a sense of romance. Your passion comes bubbling to the surface as you hang on to every word this sensitive soul has to offer. Fun and frivolity are on your mind as you enter a dreamy period. You may find an opportunity to work in community theatre or another aspect of the arts. A job opportunity may sound fun but likely won’t bring much money.
TaurusKing of Pentacles
This month indicates a strong business foundation. If you run your own business, you should find this month goes well for you. You may have dealings with a sensitive yet stubborn man. Remember, you catch more flies with honey so be firm but gentle in your wants. You are just as stubborn as he is. Money should be stable for a while. You may have some issues with your father or some other authority figure that should be examined. Be tenacious in what you do.
Gemini
Three of Pentacles
There are things going on behind the scenes. This could be good news especially if you’ve been looking for work or waiting on an answer for a commission. You may be offered some kind of work for hire. Remember, in your undertaking of this new project, to give the public what it wants. It doesn’t matter what you think, and you change your mind all the time anyway. Don’t be surprised if you get set up on a blind date. People are talking behind your back.
Cancer
Five of Cups
Cancer is moody this month. Yes, more then usual. Feelings are easily hurt and you are depressed. You may feel a sense of betrayal by loved ones. Attitude is everything in life. If you perk up a bit, you may find that things aren’t so bad. There are people around you that want to help. You aren’t as lost as you think you are. Everything happens for a reason and sometimes we never know what that reason is until much later. As the transition goes, remain focused on the things that are working for you instead of those that aren’t.
Leo
Wheel of Fortune
Anything can happen for Leo this month. You are feeling lucky and indeed, this month, are quite lucky. Things seem to come your way effortlessly. You could be lucky in love, at work and even at games. You need to learn from your mistakes and move forward. Everything feels like it’s up in the air right now. This time of transition brings an air of excitement. You haven’t felt the thrill of the hunt in a while and now it’s time to kick into full gear.
Virgo
Ten of Swords
Well . . . on a positive note, when you hit rock bottom, there is nowhere to go but up. It may be hard to forgive those that betrayed you. In fact, you literally feel stabbed in the back. The good news is that it’s over now and things will get better. The stress you have been experiencing may be traveling into your back, so watch your posture, get lots of exercise and rest. You should see a chiropractor to keep your bones healthy.
LibraThe Star
You are basking in the glory of all the attention. Why are all eyes turned to you this month? Maybe it’s your easy going nature and your quick wit. Your intelligence is a turn on for some signs and they hunger to hear more of your wisdom. Sharing your ideas and delegating responsibilities will take you far. Make a wish on a star and see if it comes true. Set your sites on dreams that you have been putting off. Taking one step at a time will get you far.
Scorpio
Five of Swords
Sometimes it seems like everything sucks. Why is it that everyone is out to get you? Are they? Or are you just paranoid? You have to watch your sharp tongue, not everyone can handle it. Learn when to let go. Some people just keep hanging on to situations that just aren’t working for them. Ask yourself if this is really worth all the aggravation and effort? This volatile period is short lived so wait it out until the dust settles.
Sagittarius
Six of Cups
You are going to hear from someone out of the blue that you haven’t heard from in forever. This blast from the past could come in the form of a phone call, email, letter or even seeing something in the paper or on the Internet. This reconnection will stir up feelings of nostalgia. You may be remembering fun times. Children and/or childhood may also be top of the list this month. Facts show that history repeats itself so be certain you don’t make the same mistake yet again.
Capricorn
Eight of Cups
You need to get away from it all. The stress is too much. Everyone wants your attention now, yesterday, tomorrow, every minute. It’s enough to drive you mad. All you have to do is take a step back. Go on a retreat. Get away on vacation. You may want to go sit on a hill or mountain and reflect on your situation. Once you’ve had a chance to catch your breath and look at things calmly, you will be able to make a better choice.
Aquarius
Hanged Man
Are you just hanging around letting life happen to you? That doesn’t sound like Aquarius. Usually you are right in there making things happen. You are the instigator, the ideas person, the motivator. What has happened that has paralyzed you? You have some decisions to make and you don’t want to make them. The best thing to do is be true to your heart. Do what you know is right for your own moral code. Don’t let people walk all over you.
Pisces
The Sun
Springtime brings out the child in you. You are enjoying a time of innocence and fun. You may have a trip or vacation that brings you joy. A new opportunity is germinating that may come to fruition by August. You can hardly wait for the amusement parks, horse ranches and other summer fun activities to start. Be careful that you don’t act too immature, though. Sometimes your emotions can make you childlike -- and that’s not in a good way. Be fun for your friends but don’t make them babysit you.
