2020 Fall Equinox Tarot Blog Hop Theme: Mills & Boon Tarot
The US is burning up! We are too hot to handle! Plus when you put two Aries wranglers together in the air sign of Libra, we just might fan those flames! If you’re starting to sweat, then you’re primed for the Fall equinox Tarot Blog Hop: Mills & Boon Tarot. For those of us in the US, perhaps you’ll recognize this better as “Harlequin Tarot.” We’re naming this hop after those utterly unrealistic, totally addictive, lost-in-love romance novels!
Our blog hop takes place on September 22, the autumnal equinox, marked by the movement of the Sun into Libra. Libra is associated with balance, equality, and partnerships. It correlates to the seventh house of the astrological chart, the house of marriage. Libra is ruled by the goddess of love, Venus, who desires to bring people together.
Our hop is wrangled by Joy and Jay, both Aries – the other end of the spectrum from Libra! Libra is air, the element of communication – and writing! Aries is fire, known for passion and desire. (What could possibly go wrong with this combination?) The result? Read on!
Our challenge today is to channel passion and desire in our writing: using tarot (or another cartomantic system) as a reference, write a scene from a romance novel! (We like it hot and heavy, but sadly it’s best if we keep it safe for work.) Thus is born the Mills & Boon Tarot, or Harlequin Romance Tarot for this side of the pond.
Don’t worry, we have some other suggestions in case that one is too far out there!
