The Sun entered Aquarius on January 20th at 4:43 AM ET time zone. As the Sun moves approximately one degree per day, it will walk through the first decan of Aquarius about 10 days, starting on Jan the 20th. These ten days were under influence of Five of Swords. The entire period of Sun in Aquarius will be under influence of The Star. Beside a card of the day, I decided to make this post as a review of how Tarot fits Astrology and vice versa.

To understand her and get closer to her many mysteries practitioner has to go step by step. Her veils are layered and every of numberless veils keeps something that patiently waits to be revealed.

Guardian card is your connection with your tarot deck. Every Tarot deck should have its guardian card chosen from major Arcanas in a ritual way.

You will do this once and only once with each deck you start using.
