Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for joining me. See you on Monday for our weekly reading.

Weekly Reading -- January 26-February 1, 2015

Ouch! This could be a very raw, intense emotional week for us.

Our first card is the Page of Cups in reverse. If you are going through a relationship breakup or any major emotional strain this week, be gentle with yourself. Pages represent children or people with childlike energy. Reversals indicate a blockage or negative aspect of that card's energy. To me, this is clear: this is a hurt child (or a person who feels like a wounded child). What would you do if a child came to you crying? Most of us would immediately reach down and hug that child, pull them close, and comfort them. Treat yourself the same way. Hug yourself figuratively. Comfort yourself. Take care of yourself.

The Ten of Swords could represent the situation that triggered these hurt, uncomfortable feelings. It's also the only upright card in this spread (as if the powerful energy of this card shot out and upended the two on either side of it). The message is so clear it almost seems to be screaming at us. We feel betrayed, stabbed in the back, devastated. Something or someone has wounded us so badly we can't get up anymore. The positive aspect is that the worst is over and dawn is on the horizon. Something better is on the way. We just can't see it yet. Our mental and emotional state is blinding us to anything positive right now.

The Death card in reverse is indicating resistance to the inevitable. This situation or relationship either HAS ended or it SHOULD end -- one or the other. But we are avoiding the pain of this reality by fighting it. It is always hard to accept when something important to us has failed. However, unless we face that painful reality, we cannot move on to anything better. We will be stuck in an unhealthy, deathlike void unless we are brave enough and love ourselves enough to accept the truth and move on. The good news: Whenever something ends, something better can happen. It might not feel that way now but as time goes on, the possibility of that something better will begin to feel like a certainty.

Those of you who might be going through any emotional pain, hang in there. BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF. Whatever came to an end was for your greater good.

I hope you all have a peaceful week.

You Pick the Card -- New Regular Feature -- FUN FRIDAY #1

Hello there and happy almost-weekend!

I have started a new regular feature on my channel called You Pick the Card/Fun Fridays. You get to pick one card from three different decks. This will give you a more specific and personalized message than my general weekly reading on Mondays as YOU are the one picking the card and, therefore, the message you will receive. Think of it as a message from the universe especially for you -- because it IS especially for you.

I hope you enjoy this first draw and look forward to sharing regular Fun Friday draws with you in the future. Thanks for tuning in and enjoy.

Happy Friday!

Weekly Reading -- January 19-25, 2014

This week is all about maintaining your calm and sense of self and refusing to allow an irritating person to affect your state of mind.

The start of the week could see us encountering an obnoxious grandstander. The Queen of Wands in the upright position is a person with a great deal of charisma, confidence and magnetism. However the card was reversed so this indicates someone with negative energy, someone who could be an egotist or a bully. Don't allow this person to get to you. If it's someone you can't avoid dealing with, such as your boss, take a deep breath and maintain your sense of calm.

This interaction could set off a lot of stress and worry inside you by mid-week. Be gentle with yourself and try to keep your mood and thoughts positive as much as possible. Laughter is great therapy. Spend some time with a good friend, watch a silly comedy, or just spend time doing things you enjoy.

By the weekend your sense of confidence will return and you will be back on track moving forward with energy and drive. The Chariot card could also be referring to the person we encounter at the beginning of the week and be telling us it's time to get away -- FAR away -- from this person's negative influence.

Enjoy your week and remember -- no one can affect us negatively unless we allow them to.

Weekly Reading: January 12-18, 2015

Is there someone in your life who needs something or is there something you need? You're likely to get it as our week starts off with the generosity of the Six of Earth (or Pentacles). This card is all about giving and receiving. If you are giving to someone else, give freely -- give because you WANT to give, not because you feel you HAVE to give. If you are in a position to receive, receive gratefully and wholeheartedly.

This leads us to the Five of Water (Cups) which is about focusing on the negative rather than the positive. It's important to remember that when something disappointing happens it's natural for us to feel down and gloomy. However try your best not to stay in that mode for too long because negativity breeds negativity. Remember that things end for a reason and that reason is to free you up for something BETTER. Focus on the positive.

At the end of the week allow yourself to flow into the calm introspection of the High Priestess. If you are looking for the answer to a question that has eluded you up to now, allow yourself to tune in to your inner wisdom. Spend some time alone. Pay attention to whatever thoughts come into your head or any little synchronicities that occur. They may be trying to give you clues.

Enjoy your week! :)

Weekly Reading -- January 5-11, 2015

Happy New Year! Thanks for joining me for another year of tarot readings.

Our first reading for 2015 starts out with some very nice energy with the Page of Pentacles. Pages are said to represent young people or people with childlike energy -- enthusiasm, optimism, curiosity. Pages have a willingness to learn but not a lot of experience. They can also be messengers. We could start this week and year with a new venture or a new idea. Perhaps you're looking for a new job, considering taking a course in school, or doing something you haven't done before. You could also receive a message concerning these things.

The Knight of Rods (or Wands) follows the Page which is a natural progression of the energy that started with the Page. This could indicate that we are not only willing to learn something new but that we have fully embraced it and are taking it on with a great deal of enthusiasm and determination.

By the weekend, the Seven of Rods (Wands) indicates that we could come in contact with someone who makes us feel that we have to defend ourselves or our ideas. Sometimes people in our lives get jealous or competitive when they see us approaching something with enthusiasm and excitement. They may try to knock us down. This could also be you second-guessing yourself and trying to talk yourself out of this new venture due to self-doubt and fear. Whichever scenario it is, outsider or yourself, don't allow this negative energy to throw you off and knock you off course. Stand your ground and don't allow other people (or yourself) to tarnish your enthusiasm and end your project before it even gets a proper start.

Thank you for visiting and wishing you a prosperous, successful new year!
