Things ARE getting better - believe, trust, have faith...

8C, 2C, Judgement - The Judgement card is about waking up and being transformed.  This can be rough - rough on the psyche, rough on the emotions, even rough on the pocketbook.  But there is a gift - that gift is wisdom.  That gift could be the release of a karmic debt.  It's all good!

Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.  –Hippocrates

The sound of shuffling cards in public spaces can make heads turn, even in Las Vegas.  I’m that guy who likes to make every minute of the day count.  I hate the term “down time” because it means you aren’t getting anything done.  This morning I found myself waiting in my doctor’s office waiting room (AKA torture room) and felt the need to get some stuff done.  Wanting to take advantage…

Whether you are a beginner tarot reader, an advanced professional, or read for your own enjoyment and enlightenment, you should consider taking a webinar presented by Certified Tarot Grandmaster, Christiana Gaudet.  I have had the good fortune to have begun my tarot studies with Christiana, and have just completed her course on Personal Tarot-Reading for Yourself. Self-reading has never come easy for me, as I have always felt I am too close to my own situations to accurately see what the…

Today I shuffled the cards while saying my name three times.  I pulled my friend the King of Pentacles.  What a nice card.  Are you telling me that I'm going to make money today?  Or "win" money or ... maybe I'll get a notice from my tax preparer that I'm getting a refund.  Now that would be nice.  I'm not planning on gambling today unless I get a power ball ticket.  I am thankful that the King of pentacles came to visit me today, I welcome him.   So I'll see how the rest of the day plays…

Yesterday I couldn’t get to my lap top and couldn’t post it was the Three of Swords.

Today I’ve go the Page of Swords….

What gives with the Swords this week? ! ! !

This card always makes me think of the over enthusiastic! I can identify with this! Lol

Looks like I have this energy in store for me today.

Talkative, restless in the brain!

This of course makes sense because after spending all day yesterday at a Hospital having tests done, being…

Take your abundance to work - bake cookies, brownies, or buy donuts.  People will love you for it.

8S, Lovers, KingW - No matter what has happened, we can make it worse with our behavior and thinking.  If we are not honest with ourselves about our responsibility in the situation, we can quickly tie ourselves and our lives in knots.  Be honest, what did you do? How did you react?  If you are sure that it is everyone else's fault, you are in denial.  Your actions and reactions are yours alone.  This is the kind of self-honesty that will dig you out of the situation.  Even if you have never…

Take a good look at the 6 of Wands card.  Do you see me taking a victory lap around the office on my white steed?  Do you see my coworkers cheering me on?  Don’t I look fetching in a laurel crown?

For the past two months, there has been a noxious smell in my office at work.  Sometimes the smell is so bad that I have to leave work early or go home with a wicked headache.  I found out that the restaurant downstairs was storing their dirty mop water in the emergency stairwell…

Today the five of pentacles fell out when I was shuffling for my card of the day.  YUCK!  I don't like this card.  Why did you show up? Is this an omen of how the day is going to go? YUCK.  Is this a prediction?  I don't feel like the five of pentacles. I looked up the same card in my Voyager Tarot deck and it is the five of worlds, the setback card.  Hmm, now that makes more sense. When I think of this card I think of sitting back and taking another look at what I'm doing. The setback card…

Yes, you do have days where everything goes wrong.  Everyone does.  Don't let these days cause you to doubt your ability.  You have talent, you have worth.  You're just having a bad day.

10S, 3W, 3S - Something big ended in your life.  It might be a relationship, it might be a career - but it's over.  Even if you have other opportunities coming your way, you are still going to feel loss and will go through a grieving process.  Don't wonder why you are sad - you're grieving.  Yes, it is unpleasant; but when you understand what's going on, the emotions are easier to deal with.

“Coming together is a beginning.  Keeping together is progress.  Working together is success.” –Henry Ford

What is the message this strong man is trying to tell me?  Stay focused?  Keep on track?  Harness your energy?  Yes, those are some of the traditional messages.  But today I’m particularly drawn to the two majestic animals at the front of the chariot.  In order for the chariot (and the charioteer) to make forward movement, everybody has to work together and want to move in the…

Going to an important meeting, an appointment or an agreed date with a friend requires you to remember the date, place and exact…

This morning I got the King of Cups.  What is he saying to me? I see he almost has one toe in the water and he's holding these two cups.   Since it takes me an hour or so to really come awake in the morning I sort of feel like I'm testing the water to see what this day is all about.  Other than that it didn't speak to me so I pulled another and got II of wands. The man is holding the globe with one hand on a wand and looking out.  Is he waiting for his ship to come in or is trying to figure…

Ace of Swords

An Ace at 5 AM on a Monday!

When I turned this card over I thought “Intellect is often cold”.  Then I shook my head and said “What?”

The Ace of Swords is a card that should be seen as mental clarity or that moment when you’re idea becomes a plan.  Today it seems to remind me that there are many things that need the sword taken to them! Cutting out the clutter and chaos of the mind is something that needs to be done in my little world!  A sword has a double…

The 10 of Wands paid me a visit today.  He came a knocking’ after I agreed to post my tarot journal as a Tarot Guild blog along with Mary Nale and Jean Maurie.  Argh!  Why would I agree to add another thing to my already full plate?  Have you seen your to-do list for today?  Do you realize that you need to pick up the dry cleaning or you’ll have nothing to wear…

Today I went to what I expected to be a class about the kings and queens of the Tarot.  Instead I ended up on camera with my co-hort in Rowdy having fun.  Nothing like being with Mary Nale on camera together!!  How'd that happen?  Dax and Mark couldn't get in the room for some reason.  I know Mercury is going retrograde in a couple of weeks and we're in the shadow of it now. Mars is retrograde and there are some important big energy planets squaring each other, so maybe that's what's going…
