IT MAKES SENSE THAT AN HISTORIC ASTROLOGY ASPECT would show in the Tarot. After all, the Smith-Waite Tarot, created by Pamela Colman Smith and Arthur Waite, were trained astrologers. The aspect? The rare, wonderful, welcome conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces, on April 12th 2022.
That is of course Arthur E. Waite below who is cloaked in mystery, as one of the most influential but private occultists of 20th century London.
Jupiter, Neptune, Pisces and the Tarot
What you’re likely to find in your April readings (and you can try the Tarot free on my website) is a common theme. Religion. Spirituality. Psychics. Psychology. Abundance. Opportunity. Escapism. Miracles. The Star is close. The deep pool is Neptune. The abundance (two cups overflowing) is Jupiter.
Of course, the Tarot has variations on this theme. You do need to personalise this conjunction (which the entire astrology world is talking about ) as it takes hold in the second week of April. So your own card reading will reveal how these ideas - overflowing, abundant, spiritual, sacred, heavenly events and developments - are likely to show up. The Ace of Cups is another contender.
If you are an Aquarius or Leo Sun person, it’s financial. If you are an Aries person it’s about your God, or self-help. Taurus? Friendship within the group. Gemini or Libra? Your career, academic career or unpaid work. Cancer? Foreigners. Virgo? A duet. Scorpio? Children or Millennials. Sagittarius? Home or family. Capricorn? The internet. Pisces? Reinventing yourself.
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR TAROT FURTHER then join a group.
This British conference online has advance tickets for £90. Hay House and Lo Scarabeo Tarot authors and Pinewood Studios’ film consultants (again in the Tarot) are in attendance, this year. Here in Australia, where I am writing this now, you could use the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces to expand and increase your psychic bonds with like-minded people, like Benebell Wen, author of Holistic Tarot (Random House U.S.) and the creator of the Spirit Keeper’s Tarot Deck (self published).
Benebell is also a practicing lawyer in New York and California, which remains her primary profession when she is not writing about tarot. You can also join The Tarot Guild, which is superb.
In astrology, the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces (above) is associated with the church; with Buddhism; with spiritualism. It is linked to mediumship, channelling and the soul. The subconscious (the territory of Carl Jung) and dreams, hypnosis and meditation, all correspond. How will this milestone transit reveal itself in your card readings and your life? Pamela had plenty of fish in her cards. In the Page of Cups, for example. Her watery illustrations are also splashed across the deck.

Thank you for another interesting article!! You mentioned in your blog post “If you have Mars at 23 Taurus, the money sign, then what happens on April 9th-12th will activate your need for instant action – financially.” I have Mars 23 degrees in Taurus in my 12th house (Pisces sun in 10th), so does this mean I need to look to my subconscious self to reinvent my financial life?
