Weekly Tarot Reading

By Abdul-Latif Islam

Welcome all. This is a concerted tarot reading for City College students and staff for the weeks of Sept. 7 to Sept. 21 2016, grouped according to the elements associated with the 12 Signs of the Zodiac.

For Earth Signs Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn: The reversed Knight of Cups predicts a lack of motivation this week. Don’t give up. Stick to your routine and allow this lull in enthusiasm to pass.

For Air Signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius: The Queen of Swords asks you to identify what you treasure and to use your skills of communication and intelligence to safeguard them. Place an emphasis on being calm and alert these upcoming weeks, and bring an extra pen to class.

For Fire Signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius: The Lovers card encourages you to enjoy yourself and allow that momentum to carry over into your coursework. This card shows your passions will sustain you. 

For Water Signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces: The Five of Cups acknowledges that you are going through a period of grief. Be gentle with yourself. Seek out healthy support from others and from yourself. Allow your emotions to flow. This opens you to discover new joys.
