The Three of Cups represents celebration with friends and family; it can also represent weddings or christenings.

Generally, it tends to indicate reason to celebrate with others.Ten of Cups: Ten of Cups is the ultimate card for the suit of love and happiness and provides more stability than the Nine.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for January 30, 2023
The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for January 30, 2023:
Talk, talk, talk. The Moon enters Gemini at 12:35 am (PST/USA + 8 hrs UK) and begins to flirt with ideas, solutions, and all types of communication. Add the Sun in Aquarius' natural curiosity and you have a recipe for conversations that can teach a new enlightenment or two to those involved. Jupiter in Aries is more than happy to add a bit of fuel to your creative thought process. So, let the ideas flow and then categorize them into work, personal, spiritual, or what have you. The more high vibe they are the more they'll work now.
There will be a bustle in the energies this week as we head towards the Full Moon in Leo that occurs next Sunday.
Work to complete projects started at the New Moon. Be aware of current events in the outer world as they're working to shape new innovations and thought patterns. The new is emerging. There's no evading their influence. When the Moon is in Gemini we can often get too involved or scattered in our thinking. Focus on what's in front of you. The heart must be involved in the decisions you make. You may want to step back a few times this week and let the energy just flow.
Clear Quartz is a good companion this week as the Air/mental element of Gemini and Aquarius will be activated. Use Citrine to draw in abundance and set out a few sticks of Cinnamon or a small bowl of it to give some fire to your energies. It's still a good time to explore what crystals work well for you.

The Gypsy Homestead's Astro-Vibe for Tuesday November 29, 2022
The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for November 29, 2022:
The intellectual competition continues. But...the Moon in Aquarius is Void of Course...and all things are not linear.
That Void of Course Moon works for reviewing plans. Stick to working on current tasks and making slow, but steady progress. You may feel like something is a bit off and you can't put your finger on it. Keep your private observations to yourself for now. Otherwise, they'll have a greater chance of being misinterpreted. Don't fall into the traps of anxiety or overthinking. It's okay to do what you can and let the rest go today.
At 4:15 pm (PST/USA + 8 hrs UK) the Moon will then move into Neptune ruled Pisces. The vibes begin to mellow and open doors to more of whatever you are seeking. Turn off the noisy distractions tonight. Dreams may hold a key you're looking for. Ask your angel guides and guardians to give you the signs or the messages you need to recognize. Garnets and Cloves will assist you again today. The Sun in Sagittarius is still sending rays of optimism. Today, it may seem hidden at times.
☆ The higher vibes of the Piscean Moon and Neptune will join forces on Thursday. Then - ideas, creativity, and relationships will begin to grow again.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Tuesday November 1, 2022
The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for November 1, 2022:
Chill out. Amber and Cedar or Cloves are good companions today. The Moon in Aquarius is stressing out planetary connections and causing reactions to be over the top. We can still sense that the vibes are quirky and weird somehow. Mars in Gemini going retrograde is one cause. Respond by being in your core and low key today. Relax. In fact, you may want to skip strenuous activities for yoga or a leisurely walk in nature. Do tasks and projects the same way - with the least amount of physical or mental stress you can muster.
Moon in Aquarius is usually focused on the future, but understands the need to give gratitude to those who've come before. It's the Day of the Dead in some cultures. Yes, they are near and yes, they do take on the role of guide or even guardian to help you. Embrace it. So, instead of getting wrapped up in the trappings of the outside world, create a quiet space to rest, honor, and listen. You may hear whispers of love and support. You may feel someone close by. For some the energies are so high and intense right now they're feeling like they're losing their identity. Some call this an "ego death" or step into the spiritual higher vibes. It's okay. You are safe! For Personal Tarot Readings visit www.TheGypsyHomestead.com or www.etsy.com/shop/thegypsyhomestead
The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe
The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 30, 2022:
A cosmic key. The Moon stays in Libra where she is looking for the win-win in personal and business arenas. Focus on creating balance today through your thoughts and actions. The vibes are rising rapidly and we all need to be able to ride the waves of positive change. Here's where the lessons of the last few years play out. The Cosmos doesn't do things to you. It responds to your very actions and thoughts. Get out of the habit of standing in your own way. When you negate your skills and gifts you cause a lowered response. Things don't go well. Be your own BFF every day.
Events can be planned out today as Libra Moon will strive to get the details so they please everyone. You may feel somewhat cut off from tangible results, but this will pass. Overnight, the Moon will team up with Venus to bring in all things beautiful - whatever that means to you - on Wednesday. Use today's energies to make contact with others, appointments, to catch up with friends or family, or to write. Rose and Rose Quartz are good supports for creating a soft and welcoming environment. Have a great day! 
☆ Even though Jupiter is assisting with abundance it is still retrograde. This phase reminds us that we need to focus and work towards our goals. It also assists in helping you realign with your true self and goals.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 29, 2022:
Keep it light. Although the Virgo Sun is anxious to get things going in a big way, the Moon in Libra knows that taking time to actually interact with others is also a needed skill. Take a couple of deep breaths and release the criticism of self and others out of your system. Let things flow. Trust that things will get done even if they don't happen on a strict timeline. The afternoon and later hours (USA) may be more productive. Jupiter is on hand for tonight and Tuesday to lend expansive and lucky vibes to the energetic fabric. Knowing that you can adjust your activites to better use the cosmic support.
Moon in Libra promotes teamwork, balance, justice, and harmony. You may see these traits in action or be put in a situation where you need to use them. This Moon prefers to keep interactions on the friendly and light side. Romance can also be highlighted, but in a sweet or practical way. Clingy emotions will not be welcome. Try the scent of Rose and Rose Quartz to keep the vibes high and working in your favor. The lower back and hips are vulnerable. Lifting heavy objects can be hazardous. Make sure you create a good day!
☆ Heads up! This week sees the month change to September and a Moon in Scorpio on the same day - Thursday. It could kick in some overly serious vibes. Also, Mercury begins to slow down on Friday, the 2nd, before going retrograde on September 9th/10th. Schedules need to be firmed up before then.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe
The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 28, 2022:
It's another Virgo driven day, but this one comes with a twist. The Virgoan Moon accepts help from Uranus and Pluto today. What???...? That may seem counterproductive especially when Virgo loves structure and order. The larger cosmic plan is for you to see new ways of doing the mundane. So, if today is always the day you wash the towels or mop the floor, maybe you can push that off until tomorrow and go read, create, or have fun with loved ones or your soul tribe. Yes, being that bold can cause some to break out in a rash. But, now that you've learned to let your higher-self in you can break out of old patterns and allow the new to come your way. The new vibes are calling.
Health is highlighted so eat, drink, and rest well as your body needs extra attention. The cosmic vibes are very high and that's causing physical distress and symptoms of exhaustion for many. There's another solar flare coming in. Also, the outer world tensions are in an increased state of chaos. The trick is to not let it crank up anxiety or fear. There will be a breather come in when the Moon enters Libra tomorrow. That will be good for picking up on networking and restoring lost communications. Listen to your heart starting now. By Wednesday, you may find a spark of romance again.
☆ Check in with yourself today. Are you healing? Use Amethyst and Lavender. Needing some clarity? Use Clear Quartz and Clary Sage. Have lots to do? Try Bronzite and Cinnamon for stamina.

The Virgo New Moon arrives at 1:17 am (PDT/USA + 8 hrs UK). The vibes are discordant, but the Virgo vibes will still insist that you do something for the good of the order. This New Moon is highlighting making a better balance between work and your personal life. Self Care is Key!

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 26, 2022:
Work with me, here. Okay. Over the next couple of days there's gonna be a whole lotta Virgo going on. Sun. Moon. New Moon in Virgo. Plan. Organize. Sweep. Clean. Criticize. Get sick as a defense mechanism. Have a meltdown if things go wrong. Got it? You may want to stop now and decide how you're going to respond to the energies. Yes, there's a lot to do on any given day. Do what you can and then give yourself a break. The higher vibes of Virgo show you that being responsible, stable, and a good problem-solver is what's needed.
Find your sense of humor and creative side today. Also, if you need to research out new information it's a good time to do that. Take care of your health by eating and hydrating well. Uranus in Taurus is now retrograde. As the rest of the year unfolds you may find you are attracted to more stable or lucrative situations. Opportunities that come in unusual ways, but are positive, will pop up. It's up to you to pay attention, then act. And, yes, those opportunities to change may be unscheduled. You know how to deal, though. Use your truth and intuition to help you!
☆ Amethyst and Chamomile will help reduce any nervous tension that comes with Virgoan energies. If you need a boost use Moonstone and Jasmine as a subtle way to increase your confidence.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 25, 2022:
The Moon in Leo is adding a positive twist to the vibes. It's a day to play a little and work a little. Creativity can stir up unexpected magic. Don't be afraid to have fun with outside the box thoughts or adventures. As long as what they're providing is pleasing to your soul, that is. Sun in Virgo is starting to check in on your progress with work and tasks. The penchant for anxiety is strong with this one. Do not fall into the cosmic trap of negativity. Whatever you accomplish today will be fine. Take a moment and set the terms with your overactive mind courtesy of the Virgo Sun.
Leo Moon responds Citrine, Amber, and Tiger's Eye - for inceasing joy, protection, and ambition. Mercury enters Libra today. With this combination of the Moon and Mercury you can suddenly feel flirty and outgoing. Just be sure you're being real and not making promises you can't keep. The scent of Rosemary will help keep things in the truth zone. Tonight will be ideal for turning off the distractions and being at peace.
☆ The New Moon in Virgo is two days away. Tie up loose ends. Make a plan for better health. Gather the tools and things you need to improve your future. Now is the time to learn new skills that will promote a better life. Whatever those are for you, it's an auspicious time to move forward.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 24, 2022:
One more time! As just a reminder of how powerful you are when you live your truth, the Moon moves into Leo and fires up your courage. With the Moon and Venus in Leo it's a day to shine and let your heart lead the way. Yes, you do deserve that bit of extra dessert, new shirt, massage, or pampering - because if you don't give to yourself - who will? Anyway, that's Leo's attitude. Also, Uranus in Taurus retrogrades today making the vibes more chaotic. This one can emphasize personal freedom. It can open doors to large scale change and also a personal shift in ideals. So, be aware that change is good and you're brave enough to flow with it.
Since the Moon is in Leo, you may feel the need to override Sun Virgo's discreet way of moving amongst coworkers and friends. It's okay to be on stage a bit. Just be sure to balance that with being kind. Any decorating or good you do for your home will add a lot of lingering positivity. Go for it. Also, a massage or energy work will also have a lasting healing effect. Bronzite or Amber will help you go with Uranus' change today. Rosemary adds joy and protection. If you're healing then Amethyst and Lavender will assist. Mercury is getting ready to move into charming Libra. By the weekend, we'll all feel more like socializing and enjoying the season. So, take a moment, decide how you'll handle your day, and create a beautiful time.
☆ Finish projects and start looking ahead. The New Moon arrives on the 27th. This one is in Virgo. It will open up opportunities to improve your life and abundance.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Tuesday August 23, 2022
The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 23, 2022:
Ah, Virgo. The Sun is now traveling through the very particular sign of Virgo. In the Northern Hemisphere, it's a sign that Summer will slowly morph into cooler, shorter days and that harvest time is here. The vibes support work and organization. With the Moon in Cancer you may really feel the need to get your home organized or your life back on a healthier track. You can see a more direct route to getting things done or in meeting goals. Today, Uranus can beckon for you to try new technology or a more efficient way of working. Pay attention to intuitive suggestions or signs. The vibes may be more subdued, but the willingness to work in a team is still in the energetic fabric.
You may feel the pull of nervous tension or being unsettled. The Moon and Sun are both highlighting the more finely tuned senses. This will pass. Virgo Sun can overthink problems and shrink away from issues that seem hopeless. Find that courage you had during the Sun's time in Leo. The digestive system may be off today. Eat sensibly and hydrate. Amethyst supports good health. Lavender will help calm the nerves. Work at a comfortable pace and recognize all the things that are good in your life. Virgo vibes to the Hermit card in Tarot, even though it also describes the energy of Capricorn, too. The need to be alone, away from too many people or too many upsets are the domain of Virgo. Self perfection will be a theme during the next thirty or so days.

#1 The Emperor: When the Emperor appears in a reading, its a sign of financial stability, ambition, authority and also achievement. You need to keep a calm head at this time, make decisions based on facts and not be overly influenced by your emotions. This is a powerful card and a wonderful omen for business and career matters!
#2 This card is perhaps everything the merchant shown in the Four was worrying about. The Five of Pentacles supplies warning of paying careful attention to your financial affairs to guard against loss, so this isnt the time to head for the shops and indulge in a spot of retail therapy! Temporary hardships are indicated and may be felt on a financial or even an emotional level, yet help is at hand if you look more closely. Money or resources could be lacking, so take time to carefully review financial affairs to ensure everything is in order.
#3 When the Fool appears in a reading it suggests that the unexpected opportunities will suddenly appear that can bring welcome changes. You need to remain open as it will involve the need to make a major choice, seemingly out of the blue!

I hope this resonates with you! Enjoy!

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Monday August 22, 2022
The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 22, 2022:
Step into your higher self. It's the last day for the Sun to give out Leo-ish reminders to be your higher self as much as possible. At 8:16 pm (PDT/USA + 8 hrs UK) the Sun will move into Virgo. Until then, let the festivities continue and really enjoy the warm vibes. Once the Sun moves it will be time to sweep up the glitter and go back to work. It may be hard to convince your body, though, because the Moon in Cancer will still want to relax and do as you please. However you find the balance between those forces over today and tomorrow, be assured the Cosmos will look the other way if you decide to take a day off.
Make decisions later in the week when the energies are stabilized. Moon in Cancer can set up longings for things you didn't do or say. Yes, you can even get weepy over something you gave away - years ago. So, do things for your abode that says home or comfort. Or, if you need to work with others, allow the slowed down vibes to brainstorm new methods or solutions. Gemini Mercury will be eager to help out. We are moving out of the need to work from ego and into more soul oriented productivity. First, though, remember who you are and where your boundaries lie. Tonight, feel the fullness of the vibes.
Use or wear Amber today to help you transition with the Sun. Emerald will touch the heart - Leo's domain - and help stabilize the emotions that the Cancer Moon stirs up. Rosemary will work to smoothe out the planetary transitions.

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Saturday August 20, 2022
The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 20, 2022:
Do the day your way! Action oriented Mars enters Gemini at 12:56 am (PDT/USA + 8 hrs UK). With the Moon also in Gemini communications can increase as we begin to see the horizon again. Plans that have been on hold can be brought forward again. Enjoy your day. Feel the good vibes. Let the Sun in Leo shine its goodness on you. Your higher self would love to be in charge.
The Sun will stay in Leo until Monday. Once he enters Virgo the need to get things accomplished will come to the forefront. Remember: the Cosmic energies are still very intense!

The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for Friday August 19, 2022
The Gypsy Homestead Astro-Vibe for August 19, 2022:
Ah, let the good times in. We get a break today with the Moon's entry into Gemini. At last, the vibes relax a bit and take a vacation. At least, Sun Leo and this Moon would love to sit around the pool and be entertained. So, let down and let things be what they are. Clever conversations can lead to spectacular ideas for abundance. But, you need to give yourself time to let them come to you. Jupiter is around this weekend. That means the cosmic slot machine could pay off on hunches and messages from your intuition.
This weekend is built for creativity and socializing. As the Sun closes out his stay in Leo he leaves behind a few lessons about courage, being self aware, and standing in your core. You know you have what it takes. Believe in yourself. To help draw in the new vibes use or wear Clear Quartz today. You can program it to add in or support what you need today. Palo Santo will help clear a path for the Gemini Moon and Mars entering Gemini early Saturday morning (USA). Nervous tension or agitation can be part of the energetic fabric today. Check in with yourself. The Solar flare energies are still very strong. However you choose to ride the day's vibes make sure part of it pleases your soul. Mars enters Gemini tomorrow. Get ready for the stuck to become unstuck. Yay! You may get a sense you can plan, move, and go again.
