Blog Post #32- Tarot Card Reading for the week of March 11th – March 18th

Posted on by Kristy

JUSTICE

Keywords for justice: discrimination ~ balance ~ poise ~ choice ~ decision ~ judgement ~ clarity ~ fairness ~ Action born out of understanding and compassion.

this week’s card is justice. In a nutshell, it means it is time to make a decision or choice, or one is being made concerning you. The energy you need to most connect with this week is justice. the message of justice is: “with clarity and discrimination, poised between Past and Future, the decision should be made with compassion and understanding.” it means you need to make a decision or choice using knowledge of the facts without emotions clouding your judgement. You don’t want to be cold and heartless, but nor do you want to make your decision from an emotional knee jerk reaction. Be clear and concise about ‘why’ you are deciding to make the decision you are making. take into consideration all facts and conditions surrounding the situation. balance the pro’s and con’s, weigh and factor in what is  behind the people/circumstances involved with common sense and without malice. be fair. know the consequences  each choice/person/factor carries within it. in decision making, justice is all about checks and balances when making a much needed decision. be objective and fair minded. this card can also show that someone else is making a decision or choice concerning you. it can indicate a decision concerning a career, relationship, a move or even a legal decision is being made that must be compassionate, yet objective and fair. it could be  a settlement is decided or a sentence will be handed down. it could be a decision concerning your employment or within your relationships. whatever it is suggesting, it is telling you that whatever decision is made, it will come from a place of understanding and compassion and it will be fair, concise and objective. It’s nothing personal, so don’t take it that way. or, if you are the one making the decision, be sure you are being impartial, fair, objective, yet if involving another person… compassionate and understanding as well. justice also has to do with karma. ‘what goes around comes around.’ ‘you reap what you sow.’ so if the decision goes your way, you are probably being compensated for something you did or that you should have gotten compensated for in the past. ‘paying forward’ also comes to mind. but if you have done wrong in your past, it’s time to pay the piper. regardless, you will get what you deserve, be it good or bad, be assured, it will be fair and deserved. it can also indicate timing… there’s a season for everything. in decisions and choices that must be made, it is no different. if you get a “yes” as an answer to a question, choice or decision you have or will make, then this is a confirmation that the timing is right. if things aren’t working out for you right now and the answer seems to be a resounding “no”, then perhaps the time isn’t right for you or this choice/decision at this time. but again, know that the decision is fair. it’s nothing personal. it’s just the way things are supposed to be or play out at the present time.

Card #1

ANGEL OF STRENGTH

Personal Power and Inner Strength

This amazing angel brings the news that this is a time of increasing power for you. It’s not the time to be passive or submissive, but to speak your truth and take action on your own behalf. You are capable of taking greater control and directing your own destiny, for the power that comes from within reaches out to the Universe and beyond.

Inner strength and unlimited resourcefulness flow through you at this time, helping you to create real results. Call upon this wonderful angel and on your own inner resourcefulness to bring you the focus and resolve to do what’s necessary in order to make your dreams a reality.

            AFFIRMATION:                            “Deep within me is an abiding strength that knows no bounds. I have all the power I need to achieve all that I want.”

Card #2

Woman holding a coin

Female Connection in Money, Health, or Value

The elegantly dressed woman on this card sits on a beautiful chair, holding a bright gold coin. When the card comes upright in a woman’s reading, it may refer to her directly – and to a successful endeavor regarding her own finances or health.

This card could also signal a woman of support or assistance regarding these issues. She may give you financial advice or connect you with someone who does. This woman may be someone you meet where you make your money, or it may be a woman of wealth and value. Either way, this card is telling you to be on the lookout for helpful assistance (or even the possibility of new love or friendship) connected to a woman of wealth or business.

            AFFIRMATION:                              “The world supports me in my financial goals. I am making synchronistic connections that serve and honor me.”

card #3

door to value

New Beginnings in Finance or Career

This card shoes a door with a gold coin on it, opening to a place that’s filled with light and bright potential. Money, coins, and jewels fly toward you through the open door, revealing a golden city beyond.

All of this points to the potential for exciting new beginnings or expansions where work or money are concerned. Perhaps a new opportunity is totally unexpected, or perhaps it’s something you’ve been working toward for quite awhile. Either way, keep your eyes open for this new beginning to appear in your life. Know that anything you value may be open to you now. Remain conscious and creative, and get ready to step through the door.

            AFFIRMATION:                               “My life is opening to endless possibilities of prosperity. The river of abundance flows freely through my door, bringing me unlimited wealth.”

Ace of Earth

With the Ace of Earth, (in other Tarot Decks it is known as the Ace of Pentacles or the Ace of Coins), we will be experiencing a new beginning on the physical Earthly plane. Things we have desired, dreams we have hoped for begin to materialize, our finances begin to increase, employment issues look more promising, our health begins to improve and our living conditions in general are looking up. We feel on top of the World this week because everything in our Earthly life is beginning to show promise. We could get pennies from heaven (which means we receive a small unexpected gift, like finding $20.00 in the pocket of a pair of jeans we haven’t wore in awhile or a $5 dollar bill in the laundry), or a gift that comes as a total surprise that makes life a little brighter or easier. You could get a small raise or a bigger paycheck than you expected that will allow you some wiggle room in your budget. You could find you actually have enough money in your account to make some home or car improvements, or get that eye exam & glasses you have been putting off (wink-wink)! If you have been unemployed, you could be notified that you have an interview or have landed a job after a long dry spell or you get that position or promotion you had your eye on. Whatever the case, your material World will be given an unexpected boost this week. Remember that Aces indicate new beginnings or boosts, so be grateful for this unexpected gift from the Universe and be prepared to make the most of it and keep the momentum going forward!

I would like to dedicate this week’s Tarot Reading to one of my Best Friends who also happens to be my Aunt… Happy Birthday! And may the Universe send you that extra birthday surprise you’ve been hoping for!

Blog Post #29- Oracle Card Reading for the week of Feb.18th – Feb. 25th

Sacred Rebels Oracle Deck. Authored by Alana Fairchild and Artwork by Autumn Skye Morrison.  Published by Blue Angel Publishing. c. 2014. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Diving for light

How brave you are! You are diving for light. It can be so much simpler to seek light in the heavenly, in that which is blissful, sweet, loving and kind. to look for the light in that which is dark is an advanced task that only a rebellious and brave heart will attempt. You may not feel that you have taken such a journey by choice. Yet you have taken this wise challenge on from deep within your soul. Your innermost being has evoked this situation in your life with the intention that you grow in power, wisdom, and creative juice. it also wants you to experience a bold and fearless trust in life and become further empowered to live it with zest and courage. it speaks of a time when you are called into darkness through life circumstances, situations, relationship challenges or inner struggles that defy clear understanding. that darkness might be a creative block, a sense of being in a void or feelings of depression, rage, sadness, fear or anxiety. There may or may not be an obvious cause. The darkness might be generally accepted and socially acknowledged because there is a socially acceptable or obvious reason for it – such as a death, divorce or retrenchment. However, there may be no obvious justification for your experience of darkness. You might not need a ‘reason’ to be able to accept it, likewise you may struggle to find an unconditional acceptance of your experience. Just know that you are actually on track and right where you need to be. Our creative process and our spiritual path go through a similar ‘turning of the wheel’ progress. There is a spring and summer, in the seasons of our soul, as well as in the earthly ones. There is the autumn harvest and there is the death inherent in winter, when energy is concentrated and pulled within to seek out the darkness where it can rest, regenerate and simply be, until the time is right for new life, energy and creative inspiration to burst forth. When diving for light,  one must be willing to bear the darkness and understand it has a purpose, much like winter does upon the earth. It is in error or through lack of consciousness that you are here now. It is testament to your spiritual growth and creative process, not a sign that they are lacking or stalling. The healing process below will help you with your inward plunging and to successfully navigate it. This Oracle brings particular guidance that although you are powerful, you are also vulnerable at this time. You need to be alert to sabotage and criticism that may make your progress more difficult than it already is. That would be rather unnecessary. At least some of the people around you might be more attached to their fear and doubt than to their faith in your process and the ways of the creative, rebellious, spiritual path that asks us to trust unconditionally. They may be frightened due to lack of understanding. You don’t need to carry their fear for them.You have your own process to attend to and they can choose to be inspired by your journey, or frightened by it. They are free to respond as they wish and whatever those responses are, they are part of their journey, for them to work through. You also need to be vigilant against the darker forces within you. These are the voices that you may not expect, particularly if you are a pure-hearted being who typically resonates with love. These voices or feelings might surprise you with their dark intensity. They may be feelings of hate, terror, or of wanting only to sleep because anything further is all just too hard. They mat contain vicious criticism of yourself or tell you that your inner creative work is pointless, unoriginal, not worth it or stupid. These dark forces might try to tell you that you are on the wrong path, suggest that you will fail, or ask with great condescension, “Who the hell do you think you are!” You must stay in your heart and not believe these dark forces. Stay in compassion. Fear creates the energy of anger, hate and destructiveness. These forces are a part of life. We don’t have to be frightened of them, nor do we need to deny their existence or try to ignore them in order to find light in the darkness. We just need to hold compassion and be intelligently aware so we can avoid being seduced into the trap of needing to prove ourselves or into the mistaken belief that we need to fight against darkness. It is too easy to get caught up in trying to heal the dark. Darkness just is. Recognize it when it is there and be in your compassionate heart. All you need to do is to make a choice – will you stay in your heart or will you be seduced by darkness and overcome by hate or sleepiness? Diving for light is a spiritual test and a threshold for all true creative work. We successfully navigate our way through this test and pass the threshold into new creative birth, by staying connected to the light of compassion in our own hearts. It is not an easy test, but it is one you must be ready for – otherwise it wouldn’t be coming to you now. Just remember, it is the light of the heart that sustains. It exists within us always, even in the darkest depths of unknown terrain.                                        This oracle also comes with a special message. There is a darkness within or around you that could become problematic if left unchecked. If, for no particular reason, you find yourself feeling angry, irritated, hopeless or tired more easily than usual, unable to rest or it is just too much effort to exercise or take care f yourself, then this darkness is having an unnecessary effect on you. It is time to end that now from a place of compassion. The healing process below will empower you for that task. Don’t be afraid. You are learning this lesson and the unending power of compassion because you are ready for it. Feel honored by the lesson and stay humbly centered in your powerful, rebellious heart that refuses to be conquered by fear and remains faithful to love. All will be well.   

HEALING PROCESS: Say this aloud, whether it makes sense to you or not.

“I call upon the presence of unconditional love. Be here now, without restraint. Fill me and fill this space. Touch all beings with your grace. I feel the presence of unconditional love within me. I acknowledge the presence of unconditional love all around me. I am the presence of unconditional love and in this love, no fear can remain. May unconditional love guide back any fear back to the light of love, or back into the earth, as serves the greatest good. My body, mind, heart and soul are now completely bathed in and protected by unconditional love. Through my own free will, this is so.”

Repeat morning and night for at least three days and continue for as long as you wish and feels good for you. You may feel some reactions to this work. Fear, anger or irritation may come up.  You may feel an overwhelming need to go and do something that doesn’t actually seem important once you start doing it and it could have waited another five minutes.  You might feel nausea. You might also feel emotional, with sadness or grief passing through you. These are all signs that your healing process is working on a dark energy and that the energy is releasing itself from you. Repeat this simple process until you feel clear. Don’t be afraid to continue with it as much as is needed. Especially if you live or work in a toxic environment with a lot of negativity, arguments, anger or disturbances and cannot extricate yourself from that environment for a period of time for various reasons. If you feel you need additional help, seek out a reputable spiritual healer or shaman…start with internet searches or word of mouth refferals, then trust your instincts to assist you. There is no reason to fear or feel burdened by this work. You are being drawn into this experience so that you are ready to experience more light. To be ready for that, we must be capable of handling equal darkness. Now is the preparation , soon the celebration will follow.

TWO of CUPS

This weeks card is the TWO of CUPS which celebrates human love. this is the perfect card for valentines week, and that is why i purposely chose it. this card is about any human partnership that is loving… romantic love, platonic friendships, loving partnerships in school or work, even the love you share with a pet (yes, i know pets aren’t human, but the love you show your pet and how you interpret their love in return is human.). every two in the tarot deck, regardless of the suit, symbolizes communication. in the suit of cups, it signifies the emotions… so the two of cups specifically signifies communications concerning love. this is where the practice of valentine’s day cards came from. the wish to communicate ones loving feelings for another. so this week, you are being asked to communicate your loving feelings to the ones you love and care for. whether you do this in a card, a phone call, a text message; the important thing here is that you tell the people in your life how much you care about them. it doesn’t have to be fancy or elaborate, it doesn’t even have to be a physical gift… just tell them. everyone likes to know they are loved and this is a perfect time to tell them. and be sure to do something or say something nice to or for yourself… write in your journal how special you are and the gifts and nice things others say about you. while you are telling others how much you love and appreciate them, don’t forget to appreciate your own gifts and talents. show yourself some love! spend some quality time with those you love and some quality time by or for yourself too. this is the perfect time to acknowledge and show gratitude to and for all the love in your life! while i’m at it, i would like to express my love and gratitude for you, my fellow tarot lovers, and acknowledge what it means to me to have you all in my life! hugs and kisses to you all… you complete me! Happy valentine’s everybody!!!!

Blog Post #27- Tarot Card Reading for the week of Feb. 4th – Feb. 11th

Posted on by Kristy

Page of Swords

You are being asked to develop thoughts and ideas of your own rather than relying on the thoughts and ideas of others. This card deals with the beginnings of independent thinking, exploring our minds, ethics and position in the world. It is asking you to use your analytical mind to come up with your own ideas rather than accepting the ideas and thoughts of others. To get into your big kid pants and become an individual thinker and doer. The Page of Swords is asking us to delve into things we are curious about or that we have taken a firm stance or position on. The Page of Swords has an analytical mind…. wanting to know “Why”, “What’ or “How” things are the way they are or appear to be. This Page wants to get to the bottom of things and wants to know the ‘truth’… usually at any cost. They are a very useful person to have on your side, but if you cross them or are in opposition to their ideas… they will use any means necessary to win because they are NOT good losers! The Page of Swords tends to be a visionary with unique thoughts and ideas, sometimes for the very reason that they are unique and different. They have no use for logical or practical thoughts and find these tiresome and boring. They much prefer lofty thoughts because they are different, unique and interesting. The Page likes to keep their mind busy and entertained. They  get an idea in their head and can hang onto it stubbornly, like a dog with a bone, analyzing it to death. The Page of Swords is a rather impersonal and detached individual who finds people intrusive of their thoughts and personal space . They like to have people around them, but on their terms  (thinking or even saying, “if I wanted to talk to you I would have called you!”), and rarely gets close to any of them.  They hate to feel pinned down and they don’t like commitment. When faced with a relationship, they get easily bored and will move on fairly quickly from what they feel has become mundane. They rarely get involved with big causes and don’t care to go along with or get involved with the masses or conventional ideals. They are mavericks… pioneers in life and of thoughts.  Living by their own set of ethics which can be very different and unique, even shocking… breaking with traditional ways and thoughts. They are usually kind and thoughtful, but love to shake things up and do things to shock people, just to see their reaction. They have a sharp mind and rarely miss any details concerning a situation or person they choose to analyze. The Page of Swords can be a character trait of yourself, someone you know or will come across this week, or a young person already in your life. They can seem broodish, moody and seemingly loners that are always on the look-out for trouble or are causing trouble themselves… most likely to get the attention they crave (but they keep this fact a deeply hidden secret). At odds with others and their environment, they can sometimes seem sulky and solitary, or just constantly lost in their own thoughts. So, whether this is a person or situation you will encounter this week or a faucet of your own personality… you will find yourself dealing with or analyzing individualized and unique thoughts and be searching for the truth or YOUR own personal truth.

    Queen of Cups

This week’s card is THE QUEEN of CUPS, also known as The Queen of Hearts because she presides over the realm of the emotions & psychic plane. She is the nurturer, the comforter, beauty itself, mysterious, intuitive, soul dweller, the seer, the knower, the feminine… Maiden, Wife, Mother. She ‘knows’ & sees into the very depths of our souls without any physical ‘proof’ … this is called Gnosis. She Rules the outer world by using her feelings and intuition rather than logic, facts and figures. She leads  and makes decisions with her heart, not her head. She is mysterious and you may never really be able to know or access all faucets of her. So this week, the Queen of Cups is asking you to go within yourself… spend some quiet time by yourself. Meditate. Spend some time soul searching and don’t be afraid to really FEEL. Use your feelings and instincts this week to make decisions or assess situations and people. The Queen of Cups is telling you to follow your heart. Use your senses. Feel, see, hear with your heart.  Use your intuition and gut reactions this week in order to ‘feel’   your way forward on your journey through life. She asks you to open your heart.  To accept the abundance readily available to us all by being open to receiving as well as giving  love. Seeing her this week is also a cue that it is time to nurture  and Mother yourself. Don’t give so much of yourself away to others that you have nothing left for or of yourself. You can’t give of yourself if you have nothing left to give.

NINE of SWORDS

This week we shift from the active, enthusiastic suit of wands and onto the suit of swords. swords are the mental suit. this is where our thoughts, logic, problems and concerns dwell.

in the nine of swords, we see the effect that worry has on the mind, emotions and body. something we have done, said, or put in place has us very worried and tied up in knots.  we are restless and we find ourselves tossing and turning all night . no matter what we do to try to dismiss these worries that plague us, it’s to no avail. we can’t seem to shake this feeling of doom and gloom or shut off our thoughts and worries. we lay awake… possibly thinking up worse case scenarios in our heads. blowing everything way out of proportion. we have taken a simple thought and created our own monster out of it. we have made a mountain out of a mole hill by building worse and worse outcomes through out the night. Perhaps it was just the full moon that was playing tricks on us and distorting our usually rational mind. things always seem bleakest before the dawn. for whatever reason, the thought has gotten way out of hand. what in all likelihood is not even a big deal…  could manifest into an actual problem if we don’t get our thoughts under control. worrying needlessly can cause mental fatigue, emotional issues, as well as physical ailments such as ulcers, headaches or body aches through tension. the nine of swords is letting you know, whatever you are worrying about isn’t worth losing sleep over. it isn’t likely to happen at all. it’s all in your mind at this point. so let it go, get some rest and everything will play out in your favor once you calm down and deal with it logically in the light of day. Remember, if you think something long enough… it will become real. thoughts can become manifest. so why not think happy thoughts and manifest something wonderful instead?!!!

Blog Post #24 – Tarot Card for the Week of Jan. 14th – Jan. 21st

Posted on by Kristy

Three of Wands

This week we have the Three of Wands in our Tarot Reading Blog post. This moves us right along in the same suit as we saw in last weeks card…  the suit of Wands. In the Ace, it was a call to wake up and start fresh with new ideas coming from a spirit (and literally from Spirit, or intuition if you prefer to call it that) of enthusiasm and drive which provided us with a new sense of passion for life. Then, presuming we all took that spark, idea or energy and advanced it further (which would have brought us to the Two of Wands), we then made a plan or blueprint (mentally or actually wrote it down) of what we want to do with that idea, spark or energy. That brings us to this weeks card… the Three of Wands.

With the Three of Wands, you begin to look for or search out opportunities that will actually move your ideas and plans further towards its creation. You look around from where you are now and begin to see that there are opportunities that you hadn’t even considered before that could advance you/your idea or plan further. And perhaps, something outside of where you currently are now comes to your attention that you wouldn’t even had considered earlier. It’s possible that you are being nudged by the Universe to step outside your comfort zone and look for, take notice of or accept something totally new and outside of your box of 8 crayons, as my husband is known to say! (He says there are only 8 colors in his box of crayons (symbolizing he thinks Rationally in facts & statistics),while I have the BIG box of crayons which holds his 8 as well as every color in between and then some (meaning, I think in terms of infinite,  which he at times he finds maddening! LOL) ). The Three of Wands is also about how we all start out as an individual, then we become a couple, and in the Three of Wands, we add to that by creating something totally new by expanding on the individual/original idea by creating a  pregnancy, starting paper work to become a foster parent of a child or animal, applying for adoption, visiting an animal shelter or searching ads to adopt an animal to become a family.  This can also mean we have an idea, we make a plan or blueprint of how we want it to turn out, then in the Three of Wands we look for opportunities or take action to implement our plan.  In business, we had an idea, then we made a game plan on what it would look like and how we could get there, and then in the Three of Wands, we look for opportunities to advance our idea and plan and we implement that plan. We also find support or sponsorship or an advisor to help us advance and succeed. This could come in the form of spiritual, physical, emotional, financial, legal or the advice of someone whom has succeeded in doing what you are trying to do now…. someone who has been there, done that and can support and help you get there too. They know the steps to take to get you where you want to go. But you have to be aware, since this advisor or backer is already where you want to be, they can unintentionally act like ‘The Boss’, was not in the plans in the first place, so be sure you stay in control of your ‘baby’. The Three of Wands can also suggest that your idea may have included the thought that you would like to travel overseas. Or that to find the kind of success you are looking for, it may be necessary to look or go overseas or look outside your usual box or comfort zone to find or accept an opportunity that may lead to the success you want… even if just the thought of it makes you uneasy or afraid. You may need to face your fears and doubts head on in order to succeed or create the life you want to be living. Here there is also a time of gestation, of  waiting to see what our efforts will produce, but we can continue to accept opportunities or create even more growth while we “wait for our ships to come in” so to speak.  The theme is: we are in the process of creation or creating what we desire. So this week, look around for opportunities to create your ideas and plans.  You had an idea or spark, then you made a plan or blueprint of your idea, and now you are being asked to set out to create it. It’s all about creation and creating what you want in your life. Don’t be afraid to go out and get it!!!

Blog Post #23 – Tarot Card for the Week of Jan. 7th – Jan. 14th

Posted on by Kristy

Ace of Wands

This week’s card is the Ace of Wands. If you feel like you are having a flash back or ‘DeJaVu’ experience, You are!!!! We saw the Ace of Wands come up a coupe of weeks ago telling us it’s time to get back to work after suffering a Turkey induced food coma at Thanksgiving!   After seeing or feeling the Ace of Wands as a reminder that ‘fun time was over’, we all threw our backs into getting busy again in a big way.  Running around like crazy, getting everything done for the Holidays and nearly breaking ourselves in the process. The pace, the stress, the bone weary fatigue and frenzy that went along with all the preparations just plain tuckered us out! Then it was all done. The wrapping paper gone, dishes done, guests back to their own houses. Finally last week, we earned ourselves a break in order to relax, regroup and nurture our stressed out beings. This week we see the Ace of Wands is back! You’re probably thinking arrrrgggghhhhh… noooooo!!! I just recharged and I’m supposed to do it all over again?!!!  No, relax!  This week’s Ace of Wands deck shows this card in it’s more serene state. Yes, it is telling you that the Holiday rest break is over and it’s time to go back to work, get the kids off to school and get back into the normal swing of things again, but it’s also indicating that now, after a break, you have the energy (shown by the Wand held high into the Sun), the optimism and enthusiasm as well as passion (as shown by that big brightly burning Sun), and the stamina (symbolized by the big buck Elk that made it clear to the top of that tall steep cliff) to handle it. It suggests that with renewed energy and Spirit, you will have all you need to actually want to get back to your normal life and projects. A good attitude, energy, excitement, passion and the drive to get up and get going again. With this upbeat attitude and recharged body, mind and Spirit, you will soon be taking your first new steps and seeing new growth for the brand New Year,  2019!!!
