Weekly Reading -- November 1-7, 2015 -- Tarot of the Witches

I thought I would celebrate Halloween and Samhain by using the Tarot of the Witches this week. Wishing a very blessed Samhain to my Wiccan and pagan readers/viewers.

Our reading this week is geared towards thought and decisions but those two cards are dwarfed by the presence of the mighty Emperor in our Love/Relationship area.

For Work, we got the Two of Swords. The Two of Swords can be about making a decision and being conflicted about that decision. You're not sure which way to go or what to do. Whenever you are faced with a difficult decision it's important to do two things: 1. Take your time. 2. Go with your gut. Your intuition will always steer you in the right direction.

For Love/Relationship, we got The Emperor. This is a very powerful, capable, successful male. He is very comfortable ruling his kingdom and the people in it. He runs a tight ship and can be domineering at times but in a good way. His intentions are good. This is someone who is moral, well meaning and wants his kingdom to thrive. You could already know this person or this commanding figure could appear in your life this week. Listen to what he has to say. This card could also have appeared to let you know that you need to channel his energy this week. Rule your own life. Don't let anyone dominate you or make your decisions for you. Take charge in love and relationships this week (but not in a vicious way ... in a benevolent way).

For Health, we got the Nine of Swords. The Nine of Swords is about an accumulation of worry and stress. You have all these thoughts in your mind or worries and concerns. They could be keeping you up at night and robbing you of sleep. You need to relax and take time for you. This state of mind can have a negative impact on your health so it is important to make sure to decompress and be good to yourself. Laughter is a great way to destress. Meditation is also fantastic for alleviating stress and getting your mind into a calm, centred place.

Have a wonderful week, everyone!

Weekly Reading -- August 30-September 5, 2015 -- ANNA K TAROT

Some readings show such clear indications of struggle and stress there is no getting around it ... such is this week's reading. :)

To put it plainly, this week could be a bitch and a half for some of us. We have two Major Arcana cards flanking our central Ten of Pentacles, which is a wonderful card. That's the good thing. :) At its core our week has happiness in a family or tribe and a sense of true stability. But there are big challenges on either side.

The Emperor in reverse can indicate someone who is making our lives hell. This could be the stereotypical evil boss or a domineering older male, someone who is very good at making our lives difficult. On the other side we have The Tower in reverse, which is a milder form of the card. With the card upright The Tower indicates sudden disaster or calamity but in reverse we saw the disaster coming or we are well prepared to deal with it.

I saw another possibility in this reading. If there has been infidelity going on, whether you are the cheater or the cheatee, it is going to come to light this week. With The Tower in reverse it indicates that the person being cheated on suspected it ... but there will still be a blowup. So if you're the perpetrator, be prepared to take your lumps. :)

If you have a difficult week, you do have that amazingly positive, warm embrace of your tribe to return to for encouragement and love. Lean on them in times of stress. They will support you.

Good luck, everyone!
