Choices and Duality- How to make the right ones.

One last card reading before we say good bye to 2016. As we prepare for our “new year, new you” theme as most people do at the start of every year, lets take a look at some choices we need to make. Take a moment and look at something’s in your life and figure out what choices needed to be made. You don’t need to know all the details , but what are your options? Duality is a question of give and take and balance. Focus entering 2017 with more balance and less about the changes you want to make, you will find when you enter a state of mind of needing to bring balance in your life, all other things will fall into place and you will slowly achieve the changes for your highest good. I think this is where many people go wrong. They set up goals for themselves and they don’t do this with much thought- just “ I want to change ……..” but with change come confusion and its really hard to break old habits and that is why you want to seek balance first. Figure out what empowers you, so you can start eliminating those things that drain you.

When Your ready, Pick one card. These 4 cards will show you where you need to shift your focus for this upcoming New Year. For those of you who are learning about the cards, this is a great learning tool. I hope you enjoy!

Number Two Numerology and it’s significance in our lives: The number two energy is very calming. It brings harmony and balance into a reading. It also signifies a choice/decision that needs to be made. When a two arrives wither it’s in the Minor arcana or the High priestess Tarot Card or the Justice card- there is a need to balance one’s life. I use the 2’s today to help you achieve this because somewhere in your life, these 2’s will benefit your growth and their message will ring true to you as you enter 2017.

A personal note from my life: The twos can be balanced, or they can be indecisive going back and forth. This really hits close to home for me as I am a working Mother- I’m constantly juggling my life and seeking ways to regain balance when I’ve fallen off track. I know when I’m drained It’s because I allowed some part of my life to outweigh the other- it’s often work. I have found that entering this Terrrible 3’s stage of my youngest son, it has been my greatest challenge for 2016. Some days I want to work longer hours so I don’t have to come home and deal with it. But after realizing this, I really need to work less and give him more of my attention- not run from him.  I would not have seen this had it not been for my tarot cards. It has been such an amazing life coach for me and its guidance has never failed me- I wish to share my work with all of you because I believe whole heartedly it’s in healing.

           The arrivals of the 2’s is a sign you are possibly in need

 Of Balance. Your Angels will not fail you. 

Trust in their guidance and follow your Heart.

Your Answer’s revealed

Card one: Two of Wands – I really love this card, It depicts a man who is held in high regards holding a globe staring out into the ocean. He often reminds me that the world is our oyster! We totally have the power and ability to have what we wish to achieve and we are powerful. He looks away from us because he wants us to look outwards and go into the world and achieve what we wish.  With this card, I want to remind you all that success is totally possible for you. It is with in your reach- but you have to be patience. Waiting is the key here- it will arrive, but in time. So make the choice to follow your heart but don’t get upset if you don’t see instant results. It takes time, and don’t give up.   If you can’t decide on what it is that you want, get creative- The wands all are all about high energy and creativity, so during periods of your life where you feel stuck and stagnant- don’t sit around. Get active. Let your creative juices flow. This card can also be a reminder that you need to balance your life with others. Relationships are important, we need them for our own growth so don’t avoid them. The 2 of wands is a card about looking outwards on your life and seeing what you can improve- now is not the time to focus inwards. Don’t focus on “ what do I get from this choice” but ask yourself “ which decision is best for the whole picture”  I am a firm believer in doing what is best for you, and focusing on yourself first, but this card reminds us, that we need to pause on being selfish and do what we need to satisfy our outside world.  You will need to bite the bullet and just be the bigger person here.

Card two: Two of Cups – When I see this card, I often see relationships being formed. Most of the time it shows me things are going well and if they are not going well, it’s a good reminder that it is a minor issue that can be solved with cooperation.  When this card arrives it does bring a message that a choice needs to be made and its often you who will have to give in to accommodate the other person. This is not so bad because of the love and respect you have for that other person- you are willing to give more. This card is about giving and not taking.  You like this other people so your willing to do what you need to make them happy and you do this out of love. Remember, Sharing is caring. This is a very unselfish card- if you find you are being very stubborn its time you seek balance by giving.  Sometimes in a negative spread I can see a need to separate because the relationship is very unbalance where one person takes to much.   This card reminds us that we must connect with others on a soul level and it’s very intimate- it teaches us to be unselfish with our love because it requires that we give. This year I hosted Christmas knowing it was a very tough year for me and energy wise I knew it would be hard on me, but I did it anyways because I wanted to provide a great memory for my family. I went through a lot of trouble making the little details count and in return I had such a wonderful time. Preparation itself was exhausting but the end result was totally worth the work!

Card three: Two of Pentacles: The Juggling card- this card is very close to my heart because it reminds me of my struggle of being a working parent. I’m in this constant state of juggling and I know now it’s all a part of life. When this card arrives it is not a time to be so ingrained in the process and routine. Relax. Be flexible.  Sometimes you will drop the ball and that’s ok! Don’t beat yourself up, just pick it back up and try again. I can’t tell you enough how some days I forget about something important with my kids and I feel like a failure but I know tomorrow will be a new day and I can try again. I had to drop that ball several times before I finally learned what worked, so don’t beat yourself up if you can’t get it right away. Take your time and keep trying. Part of the choices of this card is learning what actions work and which ones don’t. You will be required to apply some logical thinking and planning here and that is what I did with my planner. I documented for a few weeks to see what work and what didn’t. When something isn’t work, set your emotions aside and focus on facts.  A fun learning tip for you guys learning tarot, looking at this card, if you look closely behind the man juggling, you will see that the water’s are unsettling, - water is a sign for our emotional state and this card shows that you will be entering rocky times which requires that you learn to juggle your responsibilities. In other words, now is not the time to quit or give up.  It is however a period where you must evaluate what things you can give up so you aren’t juggling so many things.

            

    Card four: Two of Swords – Look at this lady, notice how she is blind folded- are her eyes covered because she cannot see what choice to make or does she blind fold her self so she can’t be biased towards her decision? This card is a reminder that when we are faced with a dilemma, to follow our hearts and trust what we can’t see; trust what we feel.  Sometimes we don’t know what to do so we become stuck- we refuse to choose because we are torn between our heads vs our hearts so this card can often show anxiety- Anxiety stems from lack of action.  If you picked this card, you are currently at a point in your life where you are unable to decide what to do next, you may feel stuck, anxious and overwhelmed; maybe even trapped. My advice when ever this card presents itself  is to just do something, pick something- doesn’t matter- just close your eyes and the first option that pops in your head- just do it. Follow your heart. If you have others in your ear telling you what you need to do, this card tells you to close your eyes and zone them out. Learn to set boundaries that are healthy for you- this is your life, not theirs and you must base your decisions off of your own needs. 

I hope you enjoyed! If you find you are still at a cross roads needing more guidance, I have the perfect decisions spread, contact me for more information.

Card 1. Cleaning House
If you picked this card, I don't believe its by accident. Your angels are trying to send you a message that clutter clearing is in order. Its time for you to go through your things and clear out what you no longer need. You don't want to bring all this unnecessary stuff into 2017- LET GO my friends so  you can make room for more wonderful things.
   a. Clear your home and living space - toss things that you haven't touched in the last year. Let it go          so you can bring new things in.  Don't hold on to things hoping that " ONE DAY YOU MIGHT           NEED IT JUST IN CASE" No- let it go. More will come, Don't worry. If it has sentimental             value of course keep it, but display it. Don't lock it away some where.

 b. People - any relationships that are not for your highest good. Let it go. Have that one friend that just uses and abuses you? Its time to talk away. Relationships not working out- Take baby steps to gain confidence to move on. Have a problem that keeps you up at night- who is the source of that problem? its time you eliminate unnecessary stress.

c. Your Self : 2017 is a brand new and i know it sounds corny, but it really is going to a new year for a brand new you. To others it may not be, but you, especially you who picked this card- your way over due for a makeover so invest in yourself.


Card 2: Stuck in the Mud
Take some time today to re-evaluate your 2016.  I'm totally being serious, for those of you who have picked this card, maybe 2016 was a struggle for you, maybe more so then others because you probably have your goals set on things that really need to be re-evaluated. Your very wise and on a soul level, you know what you want, but this card shows me the ego has lead you into a direction that has caused you to hit a standstill - no growth, not movement- your stuck in a rut.  Its a time for you to stop and think what is for your highest good and re-direct those energies for 2017.

Card 3. Mountain
 Some of us want to learn the hard way and go uphills because we think that the struggle is part of the package. But, in life, there are times to where you can do that, and there are other times where you can you can take the long way around and pace yourself. Your still going to get to the top. The mountain card is bringing you advice that its ok to take your time. What are you in such a rush for? You have to climb this mountain, which signifies a challenging period in your life,  but you don't have to do it the hard way, take your time, go around, and enjoy the journey. Stop and take breaks to rest. If you are going through a rough period right now, stop and rest. Stop trying so hard to just keep going when there is plenty time.

Card 4. Rescue
 You are safe where you are, you may not know it now but you have spiritual support and your angels are protecting you. You just have to ask for help. If you find your lost or you feel like you've lost your way or you just need a little support, all you have to do is ask, be patience and you'll receive the guidance you need.

Card 5. Compass
This is a wonderful card to receive as we enter 2017, it brings a message that you are on the right path, even if you don't think you are. You are listening to your heart and following the choices that are for your highest good; you are following your path. High Five to you! good job!

Strength Arch Type and its Message for our World

Card of the Day:  Strength and the World

When I plan my blog post, I usually pull a card and see what the angels have to show me and sometimes, they guide me to wait a few days and send me messages to confirm and support the information that they want me to deliver. I was channel flipping one day and I came across the movie “The Wizard of Oz” and a lightbulb hit- I totally get the message of the strength card, At the end of this message, I highly recommend you all go watch that movie as you will have a new understanding and appreciation for it. In the movie there is the cowardly lion who journeys with Dorthy because his hope is to meet the wizard and ask for Courage.        

                When I first started to learn how to read Tarot, I had a hard time understanding the lesson of the Strength card because my life at that time, totally contradicted its message. I was a young teen, full of frustration and anger. I didn’t have much Patience and I was a hot head. Even to this day I still get burst of frustration and lose my cool, ( I have a 3 year going through terrible 3’s. ) What the Strength card has taught me, is that we must learn to tame our animalistic side with gentleness. Be calm. Be patience. Looking at this card, the women symbolizes our feminine energy. The lion is an arch type of our animalistic nature. The Lion is confident, it’s courageous, its powerful- All traits that we each have with in. But, it is also Angry, Dominating and a Bully- Doesn’t all that sound like our egos? Don’t we all go through emotions just like that? Aren’t we all responsible for those things?  The lion in us tells us to take control of our lives and accept our own responsibility to how we act. The Lion is powerful, he is not a victim and he does not blame others for his failures.

                My message for you, and this lesson I hope you all can see, is that the strength card is teaching us we can overcome those bad traits. We can tame our Anger by being calm. We can be less Dominating and practice Patience. We can lead with power in a courageous way.  This is not about physical strength. It’s internal, it’s on a spiritual level. Be strong in mind, body and spirit.  If there is anything I can give that is gold it is this

_____________________________________________________

Be calm when you are angry. Be silent when you want to yell.

Be a Lion amongst hyena’s, don’t become a hyena.

_____________________________________________________

                The World Tarot is the final card in the journey.  It often comes at a time where you have mastered a challenging lesson and you can now move on. It’s a great card of completion but the journey does not end here. The book does not close, you are simply ready for the next chapter. Many of you will find that once you master the Strength card, your journey will change and life will take a turn for the better. New doors will open. Even right now as you guys are reading this your probably feeling like a shift is happening but your unclear as to what, you don’t really understand why you feel this way. Think about strength and see how it has unfolded in your life. Do you see how the upsets of this year have arised and what your role was to play? What did you learn,  I learned this year, that all the waves I rocked, were because of me- I was roaring when I should have been silent. I attacked, when I should have stayed still. It was a hard lesson, but I realized I needed to be humble. I can honestly say, I am glad to be finally closing my chapter on 2016.

                More about the World Card. In the Center if this card you see a women, she is wisdom, she dances with in a Wreath that is a symbol for the universe.  When I look at her, she speaks to me as if to say “ Its time to come home” The World card is all about us going back to where we started. Life is a big circle, we go round and round. It never ends. When one chapter is complete, we return to the starting point and the journey begins again- the only difference is that we are ready for new lessons, challenges and experiences. There truly is no end. In the four corners of this card you will see the 4 energies of the universe:  In Life we must harness the energy of all 4 items to create a wonderful life. We must find balance. We cannot master one without the other. 

If your learning tarot, here is a mini chart to help you understand the four corners of the World Card:

Russian Gypsy Oracle and My Own personal Reader

I'd love to introduce you all to a great reader. Her tool of trade instead of the tarot is the Russian Gypsy Oracle. These cards are notorious in the spiritual circle for being  insanely accurate.  She is an amazing reader with many years of experience under her belt. Every time she has done a reading for me, I was left WOW-ed.  Phenomenal experience every time and worth every penny.  From my understanding, each card contains a partial image and when pieced together they tell a story. It's a myriad of symbols and colors that takes a skilled hand to read.


Here are some Fun fact about the Russian Gypsy Oracle:

 Gypsy singing and fortune telling have been a staple in Russian entertainment since the 18th century. Born free to do anything, go anywhere and love anyone, they were highly sought after for weddings, where they mesmerised the guests with romance ballads and dance. These passionate and mysterious nomads inspired many poets who celebrated the freedom of spirit. Today, gypsies are an integral part of Russian culture and are widely recognized for their contribution to performing arts.  

In the past, men earned income seasonally by the means of blacksmithing and horse breeding. Women were the primary bread winners, relying mostly on fortune telling for income. The gypsy way is to get by with what you found, therefore ladies used anything they could get their hands on for divination. Contrary to popular belief, Tarot decks were almost never seen in Russian gypsy hands, as those cards were rare and pricey (although very popular in the West). Instead, gypsies used acquired knowledge of Tarot and applied it to a deck of regular cards, but didn't stop there. Many ladies opted to draw their own cards, using familiar symbols such as a Scythe for fate, a Bouquet for a gift, Rings for love, a Book for secret etc. A modern deck of Russian Gypsy Oracle is a fusion of an ancient Indian Oracle and Tarot of Lenormand. Other popular methods of divination were needles, coins, beans and of course, nature and superstition.  

Want to learn more about my reader?
 Her name is Tatiana and I came across her once upon a time when I myself was in search of the Oracle cards for my own collection. Unfortunately at that time, they were very difficult to come by and instead, spirit lead me to her wonderful work. The story behind these beautiful cards is that they don’t lie. How these cards unravel their story is fascinating to me and I’ve always enjoyed Tatiana’s reading’s.  If you’ve never heard of these, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s absolutely fascinating, and you must try these at least once in your life.  As a professional reader myself, I don’t do my own readings. I do seek others and I will only recommend those who I think are great readers, so if you trust my work, I promise you she does not disappoint. Some people often ask why I don’t read for myself and my response is this, “Surgeons don’t perform their own surgeries.”

                If you are interested in booking a reading with Tatiana, you can do so through email. Her Russian Gyspy readings are $30 and for simplicity sake, she only accepts payment through Amazon E-Gift Cards. 

If your curious about her work and not quite ready to book a reading, no worries! Shoot her an email with any questions or Send Tatiana a hello!  She’ll love to hear from you! Want to learn more about her continue reading below.

                         A regular deck of playing cards was my first divination tool as well. I relied on a simplified deck of 36, omitting the jokers and all cards below 6. That was still a lot of interpretations to remember for a nine year old! While I showed improvement in guessing the cards during clairvoyant exercises, my ability to interpret them was rusty. I was determined to be better and remember going to the library for an hour every day after school. It wasn't until ten years later when I found out my paternal grandmother was popular for her fortune telling, while her husband had the ability to see the future. My father was skilled in hypnosis and my maternal grandmother was an unbeatable gambler. Needless to say, none of this pleased my mother because she desperately wished I grew up normal, so I understand her motivation for secrecy. 

                          My introduction to the Gypsy Oracle happened later that summer, during a holiday visit to my grandmother in Ukraine. My mother was pregnant with my brother who was due in fall so the timing of the visit was thoroughly planned. Not understanding Ukrainian also meant less TV time, so I was left to my own devices in the courtyard. Armed with a deck of playing cards and a walkman, I kept laying out a popular with schoolgirls "crush" solitaire, trying to will the cards to tell me what I want to hear. A teenage girl sat next to me and asked me what I was doing and when I said I wanted to see the future, she wanted to know why. I said I want to be able to make the right choice. She pulled out a thin deck of square cards with partial images on them and said it was the oldest cartomancy divination method that never lied. She laid them out in rows, then looked for matching halves. The reading predicted change in friends, sudden illness that forces me to take an unplanned trip, followed by good fortune.  Mother became suddenly ill a week after the reading, forcing us to return back home earlier than planned. She ended up delivering a healthy boy a month before due date. I did end up changing my group of friends and although it's not uncommon for kids my age, I obviously attributed that factor to the cards and was in love with their precise short-term future interpretations! 

                           Fast forward 22 years later, cards are still my favourite way to bond with people through entertainment. My reliable deck has always warned me when I was about to move (again!), receive winnings, fall ill or experience emotional upheaval. It predicted family reconciliations, love, periods of loneliness and deceit. In true gypsy fashion, the cards provided me with the freedom of choice and the possible outcome. The Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards are the experience you want to make your own, because if you love card readings, you must have them. They taught me that the answers are within ourselves and that all we need is a nudge in right direction. As a Russian proverb states: "Forewarned means well-armed" and the only detriment of knowledge is the absence of surprise." 

Patience, Persistence and the magic

Card of the Day:  SEVEN OF PENTACLES

                Lets take our minds off of daily right now and think about farming. Your probably thinking “ Ugh… Ok?” But the reason why I bring this up is because we live in an instant age, the age of technology, everything we ever need or want now is at the click of a finger.     When I talk about farming, I’m really talking about goal setting.  When you have a goal in mind, you have already planted that seed. You don’t instantly expect that plan to take root right? It takes time, you have to plant the seed, let it germinate, pull weeds, water it, give it sunlight and give it time.  But so often, and this is mainly due to the way our world works now, we expect instant results.
             When we don’t get instant results, we think it has failed and on to the next seed and goes on this vicious cycle of failure.  I work with many people in goal manifesting and the first thing that comes across very often is they tell me, they tried it before and it didn’t work so they gave up. Failure is good sign that you are on the right track, Failure gives us a formula to work on. If we don’t know what the recipe is, how can we improve it?
            Many people I come across will plant their seeds, they get impatience so they start pulling at the roots to early on to check if its growing and find that the seed fails. They don’t nurture it, they don’t pull weeds.  Part of this is a lack in understanding of the Law of Attraction.  People think if they “think great things” that’s all they need to do. Set it and forget it, but that is rarely successful.

                Ok, where are we going with all of this? My point is, If you want something, You must put effort into and give it time. Don’t be in such a rush all the time. The Seven of pentacles is an amazing card to get my point across today. Without Patience, and persistence…. There is no magic. If we give up , we never achieve the final product. Some people manifest things faster then others, does that mean they are more “lucky” I don’t think so. I think they’ve just had more practice. When I first started applying the law of attraction to my life, I didn’t see results for a very long time. Sometimes I even forgot about it. But, I never gave up and I kept trying. 

_____________________________________________________

Today, I’ve realized that where I invest my energy, Success flows.

_____________________________________________________

 But first, I have to show up, I have to be present. I can’t set it and forget it. I also want to note, I don’t set it and keep obsessing over it, which by the way is a different story)  The lesson of today's message, the 7 of Pentacles : We must be active in our lives, and we must work towards are goals. We have to be active participants.  Understand that our hard work, must also match our patience. Don’t be in a rush to get results because in time, your goals will reach their maturity and timing is everything. 

Just like a farmer, we must prep our soil (our foundation),

-plant the seeds (our goals)

- pull weeds ( negativity)

 With lots of water and sunlight (self nurture) 

-plus plenty of time ( patience)

We will have a full  bountiful harvest at the end of the season.

Message of the week : Good bye October

Before we leave October, lets see what our Angels messages are.

1.  Wizard of Awareness :  You and I both know that you know what’s best for yourself, you just have to trust it. Allow yourself  to just be still and observe.  If this card presents itself for you, don’t brush it off, trust that it’s message is true.  This card brings a message that you are stuck in an ego state of mind – you want to control things around you or you are trying to make something happen, and right now, this is not the best decision. This is not a time of action but a time to sit back and just watch. Observe because you will see things more clearly, you’re missing a very important piece of the puzzle.

   2.   Spark: I hate to say this, but someone or something is trying to dull your shine. Your going against something that is going to be more draining for you. There are times to fight or there are times to flight. Right now you want to mellow out and just let things unfold. Peoples true colors will show and you don’t want to act because you’ll get sucked into their negativity.  Retreat inwards and empower yourself. Put 100 percent of your energy towards things you love. Everything else can wait.

         3.  Coming to life:  Spirit is always there to help us, if we call on angel guidance, they arrive. We just have to do our part and move over and let life happen. When we release control of our expectations magic happen. But…. It will only happen if we trust in the universe.  If you plant a seed, you know it’ll grow. You don’t keep pulling at the roots to see if its working, correct? So trust this process. Ask for help and let go. Just trust that what you need is unfolding, even if you can’t see it just yet. Take this card as a sign that your on the right path, when you need the messages the most, they do arrive, you just have to be awake to see them.

     

    4.   Stuck in the Mud:  Being stuck somewhere is not always a bad thing. Sometimes we need to slow down and if we don’t, the universe will conspire with our angels and make things happen to make us slow down. We’ll get sick, our car will break down or those plans get canceled. This isn’t a bad thing, it’s a good thing! If you find your bumping your head, your laces are coming undone on your shoes or you get stuck in traffic. The universe is saying “HEY! SLOW DOWN! I HAVE SOMETHING AMAZING To SHOW YOU BUT YOUR MOVING SO FAST, YOU MISSED IT”

     5.  Ghostlands: Are you finding your spending a lot of your energy focused on tomorrow and the future? Or maybe you can’t let something go that happened in the past. This card shows up today for you because it’s a message that you aren’t being present in the here and now. All of your struggles and issues that are arising are because you aren’t being in this moment right now.  Yesterday has come and gone, we can’t change it now, we just keep moving forward.

Tomorrow isn’t here and we can’t make it come any faster so enjoy where you are today.

When you find yourself wandering into the ghostlands, it’s time to wake up and come back to reality.

Don't worry. The blessing of this card is it brings us a glimmer of hope when all feels lost.  This is a magical card, it's card of manifesting.        

                    Her lesson for us:     MAKE A WISH,            

                                                   TAKE A CHANCE                   

                                                  MAKE A CHANGE.        

        The star is not a passive card, its a card that is calling for us to take action. It doesn't have to be a big deal, it can as simple as changing our goals or even setting one. Its this card that came to once upon a time that inspired me to create this wonderful spread I wish to share with you all today.  

Manifestation Spread How to : 

Best way to utilizing this spread is to understand that everything starts with an intention. Our intentions, plant the seeds to our future . . . A tree is used as a symbol because just like a tree.

We first must plant a seed, with love and nurture that tree will grow.

Planting our seed: Knowing what we want and learning how we are in control each step of the way.

Card 1: This is our hope, wish, intention. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT? This card will give you

an idea of the energy about your intention. Is this a good intention or a bad one? We want to

spend our time putting energy towards things that are for our highest good.

Card 2. How we can use our past experience/lesson to be a building block for our intention. Good or bad- what ever this card brings- take it as a blessing.

Card 3: What we can do TODAY to help us continue to grow. Heed the advice of this card and put it in action.

What will grow: We must nurture and love our decisions.

Card 4. What you want – behind every intention is a deeper goal, this goal may not be something you are aware of. This is ultimately your souls intention.

Card 5. Happy Medium – Sometimes we can be confused about our path- what we want, vs what need. This card is to help you become less confused, and find a happy medium.

Card 6. What the universe conspires for you. The universe will help us when we decided what we want. When we set our intention in this spread, this card will tell you how the universe intends to aid you in your journey.

Growing Pains: A tree must weather through some tough weather, if it is strong enough, it will survive.

7. Challenges and obstacles: this card will show you what challenge is ahead of you. This card is all about you and what is going to happen with in you. Take this card as a preparation card.

Card 8. Overcome challenges: this card will help you find a solution to your challenge.

Card 9. What to expect: Overall, what you can expect from this intention you have set :

-A Major Arcana card – the time line could be in the card. What card you receive will tell you where you are in your journey. A fool will imply the journey has just began, vs the Sun card which shows you are well on your way to achieving its success.

-Minor Arcana – There are still day to day activities and events that you must learn to overcome. It’s going to be a journey so enjoy and savor every minute. What you learn today will be the stepping stones for tomorrow.

-Court Cards – These are aspects of yourself that will grow from this process.

Card 10: How you can stay on track for the next 6 months: This card is going to be your guiding light- when you feel lost, remember it. Never give up on your dreams and one day you’ll see them come to fruitation.

  

A Full Moon Ritual that changed my life

Many moons ago, I felt this connection that I couldn't explain. I just remember one night, I was driving and I looked up at the before me and saw this HUGE round yellow ball. Year later, I realized that what I came across was what we call a SUPER MOON. (learn what a super moon is here  Today, I want to share with  you something I had learned. This upcoming week we have a Full moon coming on July 19th, it's not a Super moon, but its a full moon. This week, I'd like to keep it simple....

If you are wanting to make some significant changes in your life and your reading this, take it as a sign that this is what can help you get to where your going... Check out my ritual and let me know how it goes!

During the Full moon sit outside and think about what you want.  Get your goals in order.

1.Make sure you can see the moon. Write it all down. 

2.Next you want to write down your fears, what are you afraid of? What holds you back from following your dreams. 

3.Next Burn this piece of paper. release this energy into the universe. Let go so that spirit can help guide you. 

This simple ritual can be very powerful. One I highly recommend. If you are a water sign, this energy could be amplified for you. I'm a cancer and my energy and emotions are controled by the moon, because of this, my life pretty much revolves around the moons schedule. In my calender, I make an effort to always know when a New moon is coming and when a Full moon will be in effect. This helps me guide and plan my life.  Something to remember if you plan to implement the moons magic into you life :

NEW MOON: Great time to set goals and Intentions. Make wishes during the new Moon. ( i'll write a blog about this later on )

FULL MOON: Perfect and BEST time to release old energy that no longer serves you so that your goals you set during a new moon can happen. Learn more about my Full Moon Tips HERE

Best of luck to you all! Let me know how it goes

The Four Virtues of Tarot

 

           Today I’d love to share with you all my take on some very interesting characters of tarot. I call them the Four Virtues of tarot. Arch Angel Gabriel is usually the one who gives me these “aha” moments on my spin of learning and teaching tarot and he usually gives me information in groups that help me understand the whole. If you are someone who is fascinated with Greek mythology you have probably heard about the 3 fates.

These 3 sisters are the ones who decide, in Greek mythology, a person’s fate. We have Clotho – Who spins the thread of human life – she gives you life, Lachesis-  who dispenses it this now made cloth of life- she give you the journey in life, and Atropos-  who cuts the thread of life at the moment of death…

From this story, I have weaved my own story of the 4 Virtues of Tarot which are all here to teach us lessons in our journey through life. A quick over view before we delve deep into the story, Because it can get quite confusing. Believe it, it took me some time to put this together in a way that made sense even for me to understand.

Strength Card in Tarot is known as the virtue of Courage

Justice card in tarot is known as the virtue of fairness and Equality

Hang Man – one of the most fascinating cards in tarot in my opinion is known as the virtue of Wisdom

Temperance card in tarot is known as the virtue of Patience and Balance.

All these 4 combine to bring our lives balance. As the fool ( this is us) journey through life ( the story of tarot) he will learn the lesson of these 4 virtues through these cards. Ask yourself :

-Are you speaking your own truth and having the courage to live the life you want to live?

-Do you live life with fairness and quality or are you judging and pointing fingers?

-How much of your journey do you allow yourself to stop and evaluate what you've learned?

-Are you currently patient with your goals and taking care of yourself?

STRENGTH: In this card we see a women who is able to contain a lion with gently yet firm hands. Looking at her you can see she is very calm and sweet. On her head is usually a sign of Infiniti which tells us that what comes around, goes around. It all looks back. What we give out, will return.  This lion is just a character in tarot, but this is a symbol of our true animalist nature. What we are born with naturally. The Lady shows us that we must be gentle with ourselves yet firm. With love, kindness and a brave heart we can overcome anything. This card isn’t about physical strength but it’s about our quiet emotional strength.  Remember in the wizard of oz how the lion lost his courage? This card is all about us finding and maintaining our own sense of courage and this comes truly through patience and balance.  We must be aware of when we need to be at our best and do what we need to make it happen and not rely on anyone or anything else. If we wish to gain courage, we have it with in us- we just need to learn to let it out. The lion can sometimes signal an ego who has been left to run amuck- this happens when we do not honor ourselves. We lose sight of who we are, we give into things because it’s easier to follow the crowd then to have the courage to find our own strength.

JUSTICE: She can sometimes be intimidating to see, most people see her and they wonder what does this mean? Truth be told, she arrives at the perfect time to remind you- that no matter what the decision our outcome, it is indeed the right and fair one. Even if we don’t agree with it. We must truth the message of this card because she comes to remind us that in life, it’s not just us that must be honored. Events will unfold and she tells us there is a check and balance system in place. Some times we win some, sometimes we lose some so don’t fret when things do go your way. It’s probably better for you.   Justice is usually wearing red which tells me she is very grounded.  I often will pull her out and pull two cards at random and place them on either side of her to see what my decisions are about. Her sword hand shows me that my mind knows what’s right and I must trust my instinct and the card on the side of the scale shows me that I must balance this card with the opposing one using my intuition. This card is all about balancing my head and heart and not pinning one again the other. She is all about speaking the truth and being fair. She ask that we step back and always remember that things will work out as they should and she reminds us not to get too enveloped in one path.

THE HANG MAN: Ah… the most puzzling yet one of the most fascinating cards in the major arcana. I’ve always wondered…. Who is this man, and why is he upside down???  Have you ever wondered the same thing? We’ll this has lead me on researching his story . He is hung upside down in a sense that he is considered a traitor of tarot.  He isa traitor because he questioned everything. He actually hung himself upside down as a way to sacrifice himself so that he gain wisdom by looking at the world in a different way.  In the old days they would hang traitors by one foot and as you can see in all of the hang man cards, he is hung on one foot, the other tucked behind forming an inverted 4. I still have no idea why.  But what I find very interesting is that he has a halo around his head which shows me by suspending himself upside- he has gained clarity and knowledge. His virtue truly is wisdom because when learning to be still – as shown with him in suspension, we gain knowledge. This card is not about acting, but of being still. Look around you and see things differently and you’ll learn more then you ever could if you had acted. He is not a card of moving forward with where you are at- he reminds you that you must stop and be still to be brought back on the right path. His self sacrifice is a reminder that  we too must also make some sort of sacrifice weither it be an outdated dream, wrong goals and bad decisions.  When you see him, he is here to gently remind you to re-evaluate where you are now and take no action til you gain some insight.

Temperance: She is an angel that turns water in wine. This is a wonderful card of alchemy. She is the teacher of truth. The truth is : With patience and balance we can bring great things into our lives. We should never over- indulge. Moderation is key. She usually arrives to remind us that we have lost balance and its time we re-gain it. The great lesson about temperance is that she shows us we will try and fail- this is all meant to teach us to find the perfect balance. Remember that through trial and error we will learn many lessons. This card truly speaks to me right now where I am in my life because she comes to remember me that I have many parts of who I am that I must balance. I am a mother, a career women, a wife, a spiritual being and also I am my own person. I often will spend too much energy in one area that I neglect the others which leave me feeling unhappy and drained.  She doesn’t judge me and call me a bad mother for working too much, she reminds me that I must leave work at work, and when I am at home, I need to focus on my family. She also reminds me that I can’t neglect my own health and that I must eat more healthy and get enough sleep.  If I were to split myself into pieces, and place them on a scale- is my life balanced? If not, don’t go crazy…. Be patience with myself as I find the right balance. 

I hope you enjoyed this lesson on the four virtues of tarot!

Blessings,
