Weekly Reading -- November 15-21, 2015 -- Anna K Tarot

Welcome to another weekly reading and thank you for joining me!

This week we have a very powerful "anchor" card in the form of The Empress who turned up in our Love/Relationship sector. The Empress is an amazing card and her energy can vastly improve not only our love life but every aspect of our life.

In Work, we got the Nine of Rods. The Rods are a suit about energy, inspiration, and action. When we reach the Nine, we are pretty much exhausted. We have put a lot of effort into what we are doing and may feel like we are overburdened or like we just have too much to handle. If you are feeling swamped, see what you can do to improve the situation. Negotiate and try to delegate some responsibilites to other people who have a lot more free time than you do. If that doesn't work or is not an option, make sure you take the time to rest and recharge whenever you can. If you need to, take a sick day (but think of it as a wellness day). You're entitled.

In Love/Relationships, we got The Empress. The Empress is just about the most fortuitious card you can see in this position. She is all about abundance, sensuality, sexuality, nature, fertility, growth, and acceptance. She can also represent pregnancy so if you don't want a child make sure you take measures to prevent any unexpected surprises. I think The Empress has turned up to tell us we need to sit back and let love come to us .... and give it freely to others. What we give out tends to come back to us. So if you want love and pleasure ... give it.

In Health, we got the Eight of Swords. I love this depiction of the Eight of Swords as a woman looking at her reflection in the mirror and seeing herself bound and helpless when in reality she is anything but. This is the message for you this week. Are you feeling sorry for yourself, feeling helpless, like your hands are tied? This is a quagmire of your own making and as long as you keep thinking this way the binds will get tighter. Choose to take action and improve your situation rather than thinking there is nothing you can do. Free yourself!

Have a wonderful week and see you next Sunday!

Weekly Reading -- July 13-19, 2015 -- Vanessa Tarot

At first glance I thought this week's reading was about learning new ways of thinking and relating to a problematic state of affairs and that certainly is in the mix this week. However the more I looked at it the more the real message stood up, grabbed a bullhorn and aimed it directly at me.

This week's reading is about speaking your truth.

If you are feeling overworked, overburdened, trapped or stuck in a situation, you owe it to yourself to remedy that situation. The Page of Swords is the star of the show this week and she is urging you on. She is telling you to stand up for yourself. Many of us take on too much out of a sense of duty, obligation or simply habit. We cannot do everything for everyone. We need to remember that we are our number one priority and it is not selfish to look out for your mental and physical well-being.

Speaking your truth doesn't have to be mean being aggressive or hostile. Simply state the facts calmly, rationally, and logically. This is the way things are. This is how I feel about it. This is what I need. If anyone takes offense at that, they are not the kind of people you want in your life anyway.

Good luck and remember -- it is NOT selfish to make your well-being a priority.
