Tarot Card Reading of the Week – March 10, 2019

The card in the past energy (energy that is leaving and on its way out) is the Nine of Wands upright. This can be a card of being a little (or a lot) defensive.  It’s about suspicion and not trusting. Also a card of being battle tested and battle weary.  I imagine the man in the card almost daring whoever he’s looking at to come at him.  He’s not afraid to stand up for what he believes in or what he’s fighting for.   So a little tension with this card. Good that it’s on its way out.

The card in the present energy is The High Priestess. One of my favorite cards in the deck…she’s an oracle. She’s a source of wisdom and insight that people seek out. She can be a little mystical and have this magical aura about her. Having said that, she can also be a little mysterious.  She’s also a reminder for all of us to trust our own intuition and our own inner guidance. So you may be receiving a message or a nudge from the universe to go in a certain direction. Don’t ignore that.  And don’t be afraid to trust it.

The card in the future position is the Four of Wands upright. A very positive card – it’s about stability and happiness in a relationship.  It can indicate a celebration of some sort – perhaps an engagement or a happy homecoming. Or a marriage/wedding.  The number four is one of stability (think of four legs to a chair or table). So it’s happiness and stability within a relationship. And it’s the stability that’s key here.  Happiness isn’t too hard to come by. Happiness coupled with stability…a little harder to find.

We have a Full Moon in Libra coming up on March 20, 2019. Full moons are often a lunation of completion or finishing.  Ending, perhaps.  Everybody always thinks an ending is a bad thing. But if the engagement phase of a relationship is ending and the married part is beginning…that’s not so bad.   The sign of Libra is all about beauty, balance and truth. And it rules the seventh house of committed partnership and marriage. So there could be a significant ending (and therefore, a new beginning) within a relationship in your life.   Or it could be that this full moon is simply shining a light on a particular dynamic within a relationship.  Hopefully, shining a light on the path to happiness and stability.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – March 3, 2019

The card in the past energy (what we are leaving) is the King of Pentacles reversed. This can be an earth sign person – Taurus, Capricorn or Virgo. But it doesn’t have to be. And the suit of pentacles is all about money and material goods.  Upright, this card would indicate an earth sign person who is very money savvy.  Or, who jus might have a lot of money. But he’s smart with it.  Reversed, we may have a person who is irresponsible with money or their resources.  Their save-to-spend ratio is a little off. Or…a lot off.  And they can be stubborn and defensive and difficult when confronted with this. Or with anything they don’t want to listen to or hear. If this isn’t a person, it can be the energy this card represents. Maybe you’ve just been spending more than you’d like the past week or so. Maybe you found out you won’t be getting a tax refund…and you were hoping for one. And you spent money assuming you’d get one. It’s energy in the past, energy we are leaving. Which is good.

The present energy is the Three of Wands upright.  Waiting for your ship to come in.  Whatever work or effort you’ve put towards something, you’re waiting for the payoff.  For the good to come back to you. And you can see it, but it’s out there at sea.  So you have to wait. This card can be indicating that patience is needed.  It’s there, it’s coming. Just be patient.

The future card is the Page of Swords reversed. Pages can be children under the age of 10-12. Or people who act like children.   The suit of swords corresponds to air sign people – Libra, Gemini, Aquarius.  Pages are also messengers. So this could literally be a child (air sign or not) who is being a little mouthy.  Either to you or to others. Saying things that are hurtful or that you don’t tolerate.  This card is also considered the gossip card.  And it’s not positive gossip. Is there such a thing?  But it’s negative gossip. Spreading rumors, saying things to demean and hurt, or just outright lying. Unfortunately, this exists everywhere for most of us. If it’s not at work, it’s where we live. Or among certain circles of friends. Clubs or organizations we belong to.  Remember that you cannot control other people. What they say or what they do. You can only control your reaction and your response to things.  People often use gossip as a way to feel a sense of power or control. And that’s often because they feel powerless in their own lives.  Keep that in mind.

Astrologically speaking, Mercury goes retrograde from March 5-March 25. Give or take about a week on either end.  So communication is bound to be a bit of a mess.  Mixed messages, things not sent or received, and lots of misunderstanding.  It won’t last forever (thankfully).

The saying, I believe none of what I hear and half of what I see.  That may come into play a little this week as well.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – February 17, 2019

Back from vacation…

The card in the past position (the energy leaving us) is the Four of Swords upright. Interesting because this card presented for my Tarot Card of the Week in my sister blog, The Smiling Raven.  Only there, it was reversed. Here it’s upright. It’s about going within. This is my adult “time out” card. So the energy leaving us is that quiet, introspective energy.

The card in the present energy is the Four of Wands upright. One of the best cards in the deck. It’s about happiness around the home. It can indicate an engagement or a wedding. Or just a happy homecoming. It’s about joy and love. It’s also a “four” card and “fours” tend to suggest stability. Think of four legs to a chair or four legs to a table.  So stability within relationships or within the home.

The energy coming in is the Three of Cups reversed.  This card can indicate a few things. It can indicate an end to that happiness and togetherness that the Four of Wands speaks too.  So a block or a delay to this.  It can be something as minor as a plan to get together with friends after  work and something comes up and the date/event has to be canceled and rescheduled. It can indicate too much partying as well.  Perhaps a struggle with substances. If not with you, then perhaps with somebody around you. It can also indicate (in a relationship or love reading) a third party situation.

Remember that energy is always shifting.  The good and the bad. So what is good right now, may not be good late on. And what is bad or situation of struggle right now, will likely not be the same in the future as well.  There’s a lot of astrological shifts going on this week (I’ll post on it) so this could also be related to all of this. Venus is making interesting aspects to Saturn and Neptune and Pluto.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – January 20, 2019

The card in the past position (the energy leaving us) is The Fool reversed. A block or delay to a new beginning.  Or to a new journey. It can also be a caution against being foolish or pushing through to start something when the timing isn’t right.  There’s a full moon lunar eclipse in Leo on January 21, so this may not be the most ideal time to start something new.  Give it a week or so.

The card of the present energy is the Queen of Wands reversed. This can be an adult fire sign female (Aries, Sagittarius or Leo). But it doesn’t have to be. Revered this is a difficult woman.  Prone to anger and temper tantrums, yelling when she doesn’t get her way (or even when she does get her way). She’s demanding and commanding and never happy.  If this isn’t an actual person, it can be the energy around us. Nobody seems happy with anything. Everybody is always yelling and ordering people around. That sort of thing.

The future card is the Page of Wands reversed.  This can be a fire sign child under the age of 10-12. Or, somebody who acts like a child.  Younger energy, but still that temper tantrum dynamic at play. Pages are also messengers, so this could be a message about a new endeavor or creative idea or plan that isn’t positive.  Or just a message of some sort of delay to the start of something since pages can also be (to a lesser degree) the start or beginning stage of something.

A lot of blocked energy this week.  Potentially, of course.  If this isn’t energy that is happening directly to us, it can just be around us. But often times, if it’s around us, it’s just as bad (if not worse).  Go easy.  This full moon eclipse in Leo is powerful (given the fiery nature of Leo).  Once this energy passes, it’s all green lights ahead.  All the planets are direct until March 4-5. So the time to move is now. Or, maybe not right now. But after this week.

Tarot Card Reading of the Week + Oracle Card – December 30, 2018

Because this is a card reading for the week that flows into the next calendar year, this reading and these energies can carry over throughout the year. Think of it as a preview of what the year ahead holds.

The energy we are leaving (the past week, the past year) is the Knight of Pentacles reversed. This can be an earth sign person in their twenties or thirties (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn). Knights are about movement and action, but this knight is the slowest moving knight of the deck. He can also be about money or material goods. Tangible goods. Reversed, he may be moving a little faster than usual. Because upright, he’s plodding along.  Which isn’t necessarily bad if it concerns money or your property, right? You want to be methodical and to be thorough about decisions and actions.  But reversed, he’s moving on something. Which is good.

The present energy is the Two of Cups upright. A beautiful card of love and relationships and union. It doesn’t have to be romantic in nature – it can just as easily be a partnership around business or a deepening of a friendship or becoming closer with a family member.  But it’s coming together. It’s love. It’s union.  Beautiful.

The future card is the Nine of Pentacles upright. Which is kind of the opposite of the Two of Cups in a way. This is the “happy single person” card. It shows a woman dressed in a beautiful gown, surrounded by nine pentacles with a bird on her shoulder. I love that this card shows a woman with her pet critter with her.  Pentacles generally refer to money and tangible goods (our stuff).  She’s doing quite well financially and she’s happy. She’s also by herself.  So this can indicate making peace with being single if that is a dynamic in your life. It can indicate success with a private business or a solo venture. j

The oracle card is Here and Now.  It’s about being present in the moment.  Not getting stuck in the past and not being super concerned about the future, but about being content and at peace with this moment, right now. With what you have, right now.  Finding happiness with where you are now. We tend to be very focused on the future at the beginning of a new year. What the next year will hold, the things we’d like to manifest or create, what we’d like to accomplish. But there’s something to be said with just being content with right now.  With all that you have and all that you have already accomplished.

Astrologically speaking, towards the end of this week, all the planets will be direct and they will stay direct for about two months.  There’s no excuse to NOT start that new thing or go after that new goal now. Not just because of a date on the calendar, but also because the universe is giving us all a cosmic push to go after what we want.  It’s about forward moment and forward momentum.  Take advantage of it.   There’s always a period of about 6-8 weeks every (calendar) year where all the planets are direct.  Those weeks/months are the time to GO. And to DO.  It’s not about planning and figuring out and calculating. It’s about doing.  Use this energy – it’s truly a gift from the universe.

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – December 16, 2018

Good cards this week…

The card in the past position is the Seven of Wands reversed. This card can indicate feeling overwhelmed by something.  Not “on top of it,” but that IT has the higher ground. A good card to get in the past position – it’s energy we are leaving.

The card in the present position is the Nine of Coins upright. This deck (The Golden Tarot by Kat Black) uses coins instead of pentacles.  This is my “happy single person” card. It shows a woman dressed in a beautiful gown, surrounded by nine pentacles/coins with a bird perched on her hand. She’s alone…and she’s happy.  She’s doing well financially, she can provide for herself, and she’s content. I love that this card has her with her pet critter.  This card can suggest that any new business or career or financial ventures are going very well or soon will.

The future card is the Ace of Wands upright.  Aces start  suit and the suit of wands is about our creative endeavors, passions, and the things that excite us.  Aces are about new beginnings. So an exciting new beginning with something that, well, excites you. Something  you’ve always wanted to start or begin (like a hobby or a health regimen) is likely to start now. And if you don’t start it, at least the desire and the plan to start it will form. And all new endeavors have to start first as a plan.  This may be something you are thinking of starting with the new year, too. Or, with the winter solstice.  A change in the seasons is a good time to change things in your daily life as well.  A great card to get in a reading.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – December 8, 2018

The card in the past position is the Seven of Wands upright.  Struggle and tension and conflict…but…you’re on top of it. You can handle it. This is my “I got this” card.  It can also indicate a little bit of a defensive posture regarding some issue or endeavor. But whatever it is, it’s something you can handle.

The card in the present position is the Page of Wands reversed. Pages can be children under 10-12. This suit also corresponds to fire sign energy – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. But it doesn’t have to be.  Pages are also messengers.   So this can be a less-than-welcome message regarding a new passion or creative endeavor. Maybe a delay.  It can also be a child throwing a temper tantrum. Oran adult actin like a child throwing a temper tantrum.

The future card is the Ace of Swords. Aces start a suit and this is the suit of communication, intellect, ideas, the mind, thinking. It also corresponds to the air signs – Libra, Gemini, Aquarius.  So a brand new start to something.  Maybe the way you see something or think about something.  A new perspective. This is also a card of victory.

So we transition from some struggle to victory.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – December 2, 2018

The card in the past position is The Devil reversed.  A good card to get reversed. It can indicate you finally overcoming your weakness. Or weaknesses, plural. Whatever had a hold on you, you are gaining strength over and overcoming.  This is also the card of Capricorn. So it could be that you are somehow dealing with a Capricorn in your life. Possibly, leaving them.

The card in the present position is the Queen of Wands upright.  She can be a fire sign adult woman – Aries, Leo or Sagittarius. But she doesn’t have to be.  She’s in control. She knows what she wants and knows how to get it. And if she doesn’t know how to get it, she’ll find a way.  She’s dynamic and high energy.  If this isn’t an actual person in your life, it’s this energy.

The future card is the Three of Swords upright. A card of heart break. Emotional pain. And because it’s a “3” card it can sometimes indicate a third party situation in a relationship.

I drew a card after this because I hate to end on such an upsetting note. And that card is The World. So it could be that after this break up or this emotional hurt, everything you want is then on offer. Or, it is finally received.  Things sometimes work that way. If your arms are full, you can’t carry anything else. So you have to put a bag down.  So, too, with people and emotions. If you let go, it opens the door for things to come to you.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – November 27, 2018

The card in the past position is Six of Pentacles reversed. A lack of give and take.  Mostly with money or material possessions, but this card can refer to anything. But that imbalance.  Somebody giving and giving but never receiving. Or, the other way around.  But it’s not equal or in moderation.

The card in the present position is Ten of Pentacles upright. This is a card of finally reaching a place of financial security.  The “happy retirement” card. It’s about no longer having to worry about how you’re going to pay the bills or how you’re going to make ends meet.  Money (or material possessions) is not an issue. Financial stability – a good card.

The future card is Seven of Pentacles upright. Wondering if work and effort and energy has been worth it.  All this work you’ve put into something…what is it yielding? What is it producing? And is what it’s producing worth the work you put into it? This can be anything from starting a new business to a financial investment. Or even something like weeks (or months) of dieting and exercising and not seeing the scale move.

A clear focus on money and material goods this week.  With the holidays ahead, it makes sense. We tend to give material gifts. Tangible things. And most of us spend a lot of money around this time of the year as well.

Be open to what calls you…

Tarot Card Reading of the Week – November 18, 2018

The card in the past position is the Four of Wands upright.  This can be stability within a relationship. Also, a happy homecoming. It can sometimes indicate an engagement or a wedding. A party of some sort.   If this isn’t you or this didn’t happen to you, it can be that you received news of somebody becoming engaged or you received an invitation to somebody’s wedding.

The card of the present energy is the King of Swords upright. He can be an adult air sign male – Libra, Gemini, Aquarius.  If it’s not an actual person, it’s this energy.  Effective communication.  This is a person (or an energy of) intellect and the mind and thoughts. Thinking.  He can be a lawyer or a diplomat of some sort.  Again, if this isn’t a person in your life now, or coming into your life, it’s an energy. So maybe you are becoming better at communicating your feelings or thoughts.  Or maybe you’re called upon to give a talk or lecture of some sort. And you’ll do so  beautifully.

The future card is the Nine of Pentacles upright. This is my “happy single person” card. It shows a woman dressed in a beautiful gown, surrounded by nine pentacles. Her pet bird on her shoulder. So she’s doing very well financially and she’s happy.  And, as the card depicts, she’s happy by herself. This can be finding a sense of accomplishment in your career or with money, since pentacles generally refer to money and material/tangible goods. And it can also indicate a sense of happiness by yourself. Maybe you recently broke up with somebody and are realizing how happy you are (and can be) alone, by yourself.  Or maybe you’re just in a  place of happiness being single.  It is possible.  You could have also just added to your independent little family a pet.  And this is indicating happiness with your new pet companion.

Good cards this week. They all point to a sense of happiness and contentment. Either within an engagement or marriage (or you’re happy for somebody else having achieved this in their life) and also a sense of contentment by yourself, with yourself.  Good energy to be moving into…

Be open to what calls you…
