Gratitude in the Tarot

12/5/2018

Gratitude is an approach to life. In the Tarot I like to see the reminders to be grateful in all of the Pentacles and most especially at the Aces and Tens. The numerical value of "1" excites energy to be productive and opens so much potential of Self and new opportunities. Some of the more abundant interpretations of the cards are places to explore Gratitude which we see many times in the suit of Earth where manifestation occurs, such as the Ace, Eight, Nine and Ten of Pentacles.

I would like you to explore Gratitude as a way of BE-ing and see how it shows up in The Magician, which is the "1" vibration in the Major Arcana, and many of the other Major Arcana cards. You can always be grateful for the hard lessons and the myriad of expressions of energy. Gratitude is never limited to the material world and can many times show up as feelings and energy expressions even before the thought of Gratitude is communicated. Look to the Wheel of Fortune as a place to be grateful as this vibrates with the "1" and the "0." The Wheel of Fortune can bring us abundance and expansion to new levels and experiences. And let us not forget The Sun vibrating with a "1" and "9," expressing a light of sustenance and nourishment for all.

I AM Grateful to all of you for being a part of this Tarot Journey :)

King of Wands & Seven of Cups

11/28/2018

Today is activated by levels of mastery within you. Your heart and your will power are finding a way to merge. Listen to your intuition today. You will know when and how to take action with the messages you are receiving. Trust in your heart and feelings to be your guide. The doing is effortless as long as you believe in yourself along the way. You may share with others a way of being powerful in a world that does not value feelings as much as actions. Trust that your feelings will be your most powerful guide throughout your life. Your sensitivities are expanding which in turn will allow your energy to become more potent and intense. Stay committed to the journey and faith in your power.

Death and Six of Cups

11/20/2018

These two cards would be great to remember the love and the bonds of relationships that are no longer in your life. Sometimes people forget to celebrate the Anniversary of one’s passing. The Death can be literal or figurative. The transformation of relationships is a major theme for humanity. The incarnation into a physical form changes through time, just as the caterpillar becomes the butterfly. With the passing of a loved one, it is good to remember that the connections through love are still with you, always. Celebrate the passing, as much as you can. Their consciousness, and their love, are still flowing through the Universal web of consciousness. Love never dies, however the vehicle through which love flows will transform.

Today, I celebrate the Death-iversary of my mentor and teacher of the Tarot. Many of his greatest gifts include the living and walking example of compassion, love, and non-judgement. He had dedicated his “caterpillar” life to a path of service. For his brilliant example of how to live life, I am truly honored to have been his student. So a cheers to my teacher, my best friend and the most amazing spiritual sage that I have known. I will spend time talking with you today and learning how to listen with more accuracy to the impressions of communication, love and energy. Thank you and Happy Death-iversary!

Six of Swords

11/15/2018

Tarot Card of the Day, Six of Swords
If you have a tendency to view scenarios as light and dark, good and bad, then the Six of Swords will help you to unify the mind instead of polarizing your thoughts. Judgement is one of the major downfalls of humanity, yet this is one of the myriad of ways that you learn and grow. The Universe vibrates without judgement and is truly about love. In humanity’s struggle to understand existence and the Creator, people function with dichotomy and polarity instead of unification and oneness. Today, focus on similarities instead of differences. View any disagreements as a means to unify wholeness within and without. Communicate your thoughts so that you can balance the mind. You will be able to speak and listen without having to be right or wrong. Journal your ideas so that you can see how they are interconnecting instead of a whirlwind of separateness.

Tarot Cards of the Day, Page of Pentacles and Eight of Wands

Your energy is on auto pilot as you flow into new experiences that life has to offer. You are focused on moving forward with growth and expansion. The commitment and dedication that you are showing in your life is drawing a lot of new energy into your field. This is a fun time where all your hard work and intentions are producing results. You will be smoothing out the edges so that you flow through life experiences with more ease and direction. Your energy is balancing through your Chakra system so you may notice shifts and changes and a stronger flow of your vital life force energy. All of this attracts new people into your life and new growth experiences. Have fun and stay focused on your goals. Each new experience, whether it is a new person, event or Divine coincidence, will align with where you have been focusing your energy and intent.

The Lovers & King of Pentacles

11/1/2018

You may be in a relationship that you feel you will need to take the role of leader and example. At times, you may want to tell your partner what to do and more importantly how to be. Make sure they are open and receptive to your wisdom before you offer it. No one likes to be told what to do, how to be, and how to live their life unless they are asking for advice, guidance and direction. If they come to you wanting your opinion and you have an opportunity to impart your wisdom and life experience, then go for it! It is best to have an open door to impart your story. Make sure you are not imposing information when it is not asked for. In this case, just simply BE. Walk your talk and show others through how you live your everyday life. When they see something they like in you and they ask you how you got to be where you are, then you can share openly how to attain the essence of BE-ing.

The Emperor and Ten of Cups

10/26/2018

You will feel very protective of your family and those that you love. The Emperor is the Archetype of the male protector and provider. Whether you are male or female makes no difference to the expression of energy. Do you stand up for those who are unable to do so for themselves? Would you protect the ones you love? Yes is always the answer with The Emperor. He also provides love and comfort when the Ten of Cups comes to play. Providing a safe space for family to gather. Holding love and warmth throughout your home and being able to open doors for others to have a place of comfort and rest. There are many ways to provide for those you love. Be the strong and compassionate leader today and watch the world become a better place before your eyes.

Eight of Swords and Four of Swords

10/12/2018

You are gaining clarity around how your belief system can be applied in your life. You may be stuck in your head today. When you find yourself mulling over all the details of life, make sure your thoughts are also being productive for you. This is the time to find a way for your spiritual beliefs and values to be practically applied in your every day life. When a 4 and 8 play together, you are balancing the worlds of matter and energy, or sometimes we say, spiritual and physical. Since you have the suit of Swords, this pertains to how your mind and conscious thoughts are integrating information, ideas and beliefs. These are also very productive numbers that will provide structure for those thoughts. Once you decide how you are going to think about the circumstances in your life, stay true to your truth and don’t vacillate your opinion. If you find you are doubting your own truth, calm the mind and apply the simple Universal truths to any situation. Don’t let your mind run amuck. You have way too much wisdom to help you be in balance in your life.

Is reading reverse cards in the Tarot really necessary?

10/4/2018

When should you read Reverse cards?

I do not read Reverse cards in the Tarot. Whether you do or not is entirely up to you. The idea of a Reverse card allows one card to have more than one meaning. For example, the Three of Swords can indicate sorrow when appearing in an upright position. When it appears upside down, or “reversed,” it can indicate recognition and overcoming sorrow. I like to read cards in a fashion of “high side” or “low side.” Realize that there are many places of energy to read from the lowest low to the highest high. One card can have many variations of the same energy foundation. It is important to look at the position of the spread that the Tarot Card appears in and also the rest of the cards and how they form a story. Every card in any spread influences the whole reading. Just like in energetic healing, you want to look at the whole not the parts by themselves.

So, in essence, you get to decide whether you wish to read the cards upright and reversed as a rule or not. Personally, I do not like rules. I like guidelines and I love to think outside the box when my brain allows it. I do not want to lock in a vibration of energy on a high side or low side unless I am certain that is exactly what the querent is experiencing. In addition, I want to always give tools and techniques of empowerment so that the querent can learn to navigate from the lower vibrations into the higher vibrations by understanding the inherent energy that is surfacing. When you understand the card present in its fullness of expression, you will learn how to offer the help of self-empowerment and guidance.

As a Tarot reader, the most important part you play is to be of service and to help other people become empowered in their own lives. It is truly about the love and sharing of information, Universal Truths, and psychic guidance.

The Chariot & Five of Cups

9/14/2018

“Let go to grow.” You are ready to move forward in life with new direction, a clear focus, and divine intent. Your ability to transform your conscious states of feeling is the fuel that propels you forward. You are turning grief into love, sadness into joy, neediness into self fulfillment. You are mastering your skills at allowing the feelings to move through you, transforming them to a state that can raise the conscious vibration of your being. Once you have mastered this new state of conscious feeling, you will be unstoppable on your path to wholeness. Connect with the four “P’s” of The Chariot. Patience may be required to refine these moments. Perseverance will be your “go to” state to reaffirm your conviction to your divine journey. Practice makes perfect. Playfulness will bring the joy with you on each step. May love light the way.
