Weekly Reading -- September 27-October 3, 2015 -- Aquarian Tarot

I'm pleased to say the cards are much kinder and mellower this week. :) There is some very nice energy in store although we could have some difficulty in the health area. Awareness and attitude are key to transforming that energy.

In our Work, we got the Ace of Rods (or Wands). Aces signify new opportunities or beginnings. If employed you could get a promotion or start a new project that really excites you. If unemployed you could get a job offer or a great idea related to work. Since Rods relate to creativity and inspiration if you are an artist you could get a great idea this week that really gets your creative juices flowing. Go with it. Follow that creative path.

In Love/Relationships, we got the Page of Cups. This could represent you or someone in your life with Page of Cups qualities which are dreamy, loving, open, optimistic, perhaps a bit naive. Pages are said to represent children or people with childlike qualities. If the card relates to you, enjoy this energy. If you are single you could be feeling very romantic and dreamy. There could be someone you want to reveal your affections to but you may be feeling a bit shy. That's okay. Take your time and do so when (and if) you feel comfortable. If you are in a relationship, you could feel a resurgence of romance or be seriously considering your options regarding the relationship. (I'm thinking of that reversed Nine of Rods we got last week.)

In Health, we got the Ace of Cups in reverse. Again, this refers to a beginning but it has been turned upside down. Perhaps something that started out well has suddenly hit a roadblock. Don't beat yourself up about this. If you find yourself "falling off the wagon" reflect about why it happened and get right back on. Alcohol could be an issue. If you are concerned about your own drinking habits or the drinking habits of someone close to you now is the time to address it.

In summary this looks like a pretty smooth, enjoyable week except for possible challenges in the Health area. Never underestimate the power of the mind to put things back into balance. Focus is everything.

See you next week!

Weekly Reading -- July 20-26, 2015 -- Aquarian Tarot

Welcome to another reading! The cards are giving us a bit of kick in the pants this week. With the Page of Rods dead center and two reversed Major Arcana on either side this indicates some major possibilities are in the works ... but they are blocked.

The two Major Arcana in our spread this week are The Chariot and The Sun. One is a card of great power and focus and the other is a card of great joy. The combination of the two upright is unstoppable. It's a journey towards great fulfillment and happiness. In this case, they are reversed.

What this tells me, with the meek little Page of Rods standing unobtrusively between them, is that we really want to venture into the unknown and try something new and exciting. Our passion is calling us -- whether it's the stirrings of a creative project, exploring new career opportunities or travel destinations, or dipping our toes into a new relationship. The problem is that we are stopping ourselves. Fear could be getting in the way. Negative self talk could be stopping us before we have a chance to even set out on our journey.

It's only wise to consider carefully before starting anything new. However it is very unwise to automatically reject something simply because it is unfamiliar to us. The Sun is a definite indication that great joy and fulfillment awaits us but we are allowing our insecurities and lack of confidence stop our chariots from moving.

Don't let it happen. Be brave this week. Take the plunge. The cards are saying it will be well worth it.

Weekly Reading June 29-July 5, 2015 & Paying Homage to One of My Heroes

Yesterday on Facebook I saw a post that greatly saddened me. Chris Squire, bass player for the classic rock band Yes, passed yesterday from complications due to leukemia. He was 67 years old.

I decided to pay homage to him before I started our weekly reading because he was very special to me. I am a music fan ... an ardent music fan. :) I was lucky enough to grow up in a household with two older brothers who had great musical taste and as fortune would have it, Yes records were a prevalent part of my household. I grew up listening to the amazing progressive rock albums of bands like Yes, Pink Floyd, ELP and many more.

Yes was a band that resonated with me INSTANTLY. Not only were they amazing musicians but their songs were epics that tended to last twenty minutes or more with complex arrangements that only virtuoso musicians could handle. Their music gave me countless hours of pleasure and tweaked my imagination. It sparked my belief in the power of the divine because only could the divine make such divine music. :)

So thank you, Chris Squire, for giving me that. The perfection of your bass will forever reverberate through my heart and soul. You are now a Starship Trooper playing your bass in the cosmos. As it should be. :)

As for our reading .... strap yourselves in! :) This week could see some of us dealing with sudden negative events that really strike us at our core. However this is happening for the greater good and once we get through the initial shock and allow ourselves to heal we will realize that in the long run we are much better off than before. This needs to happen so that we can get to what is really waiting for us.

Be gentle with yourself. Breathe. Meditate. Listen to some great Yes music. :)

See you next week!
