Guys don’t listen to violence agitators. The only way to get trump out is through a *non-violent movement*, like we saw across the country yesterday. Here’s research throughout history on this.

Sun 1/11 COTD The Chariot. It represents your willpower, determination and courage. The ability to move forward towards your goals.

It also represents your vehicle, police, military, and the ego. Check your tires, gas, and no speeding.

DRESS for SUCCESS, you could meet a very charming person.

Fri. 1/9 COTD 10 of wands. It's easy to put on a few pounds, collect too many things, and overload our schedule.

Thurs 1/8 COTD 3 of pentacles. This is a really good sign! Three people are working together on a project.

Wed 1/7 COTD 9 of swords. The card of worry and anxiety.

Thankfully, our worst fears will not suddenly materialize.

The roses and the astrological signs on the blanket signify positive days to come and hope for the future.

Taking a walk outside can miraculously wipe out anxious thoughts.

Tues 1/6 COTD The Emperor.
The positive symbolizes self control, responsibility, leadership, authority, structure, and the laws. You are the CEO.

The negative represents a rogue person in charge that could test the limits of his or her authority. Usually they hit the wall with a thud.

Sun 1/4 still influenced by the full moon in cancer. Our COTD is Justice. She appears without her traditional blindfold in the Tarot. She urges us to see and face the issues that need to be addressed.

We remove our emotions. We use our heads, not our hearts when making our decisions today.

Sat.1/3 Full Moon in Cancer, our COTD is the Knight of swords. The crab is most comfortable at home in its shell. If we don't have to work, we might want to stay home too.

Even without the chaotic energy of the full moon, this Knight symbolizes impulsive actions by others or ourselves.
