Weekly Reading -- August 16-22, 2015 -- Morgan Greer Tarot

This week could be emotionally challenging for some of us but it's very important for us to see this as a positive and an opportunity for huge growth. Every once in awhile life gives us the opportunity to do some "spring cleaning" or decluttering. This week could be one of those opportunities.

Two Major Arcana cards are in our reading this week and all three cards are reversed. This indicates major issues are at play but due to the reversals there could be blockages or negative dynamics going on. The King of Cups and The Empress are both playing their parts. I believe these two cards represent significant people in our lives who are not doing us any good. As a matter of fact they could be doing us a lot of harm. We appear in the reading as The Fool -- someone with great aspirations and potential. That potential is being squashed by negative people around us.

If you encounter people or have people in your life who are constantly putting you down, emotionally manipulating you, and withholding their love and support, ask yourself: What purpose are these people serving in my life? If you feel nothing but unhappiness and frustration in their company the purpose they are serving may be to force you to move on from their negative influence. Rather than seeing leaving them behind as a loss, see it as a positive opportunity to become more self-reliant and less dependent on the presence of certain people in your life.

Romantic rejection is another possibility for this reading. The Fool is offering his rose to The Empress and not only is she reversed, she is ignoring him, staring straight ahead. The King of Cups could represent The Fool's "big feelings", hurt feelings or even another person. Perhaps a love triangle is going on? Whatever the case, if you express your romantic interest in someone this week they may not return your interest. Again, don't let rejection make you think any less of yourself. That person was simply not right for you.

Don't let anyone squash your spirit. Pack your bags (even if it's only metaphorically) and move on.

Weekly Reading -- August 2-8, 2015 -- Dali Tarot Universal

We may feel the call of the open road this week, literally or figuratively. You may feel a wanderlust stirring within you, the urge to do something totally unknown and out of character ... but life has a tendency to get in the way with personal responsibilities and annoying interruptions.

I don't know about you but summer has a tendency to remind me of my youth, when I was more likely to throw caution to the wind and throw myself into every new experience and relationship. Then we get older, get jobs and families, and those urges seem not only impractical but irresponsible. Maybe they are, maybe they're not. The gift of getting older is the ability to discern these things.

You may find or feel an opportunity to express that Fool energy this week and maybe pay your younger self a visit. However life does have a tendency to get in the way sometimes. You may have to put off your adventure for awhile but the window of opportunity will arrive. For now just enjoy the stirrings of the Fool's energy within you. You'll know when the time is right to sling the pack on your shoulder.

Weekly Reading -- May 25-31, 2015

Welcome to another weekly reading! This week's reading comes to us from the Morgan Greer Tarot.

It's all about encouragement and visualization this week. We got two Major Arcana cards signifying major themes taking place and one Cups card: the "nostalgia" card, the Six of Cups.

If we look at this reading as a story, I see The Fool as the main character. He is looking toward The Magician who is very powerful and dynamic. It's almost as if The Fool is studying him and comitting his actions to memory in order to imitate him later. In the background we have the Six of Cups which could represent unhealthy ties to the past that are holding us back and preventing us from realizing our potential. We cannot create something new if we remain stuck in the past.

Confidence is key and The Magician can teach us about that. If you're not feeling confident enough to be in the place you want to be, think of the phrase "fake it till you make it." Everything that now exists in form or being was once a thought. Everything arises from thought. Picture it, imagine yourself there, and act AS IF. Be your own Magician this week.

Enjoy the reading and see you on Friday for You Pick the Card!

Weekly Reading -- April 27-May 2, 2015 -- Llewellyn Classic Tarot

This week's reading could pave the way for some major transformation in our lives if we take the time to retreat and contemplate ... and keep what we learn to ourselves, at least for now.

We got two Major Arcana cards, The Hermit and The Fool, which indicate major themes going on. Those cards flank the Seven of Swords which, as I interpret it in this reading, signifies tact and discretion.

The Hermit is about wisdom, contemplation, and retreat. It requires a certain amount of solitude and discipline. It's about examining your life and reflecting on what your life is like right now, how your life got to be the way it is, what works for you and what doesn't work for you. It's about taking an inventory of the events in your life, putting them under a microscope and examining how it all unfolded.

Next we have the Seven of Swords. In some cases this card can be interpreted as deception or sneakiness. In this case I believe it relates to tact and discretion. It's about keeping what you learn to yourself and not telling your innermost thoughts or plans to just anyone. Sometimes if we have big plans and tell them to the wrong person those plans can be derailed and never get off the ground due to someone else's negativity or hidden agendas. Keep your contemplation private, at least for now.

The Fool (we also got The Fool in our reading last week) has reappeared so he is still tagging alongside us right now. The energy of us about to embark on a brand new journey is still in the air. The Fool is still urging us on to try something new, be bold and adventurous ... but be wary of his boundless optimism because sometimes it can lead him to make the wrong decisions. Rely on the wisdom of The Hermit to lead you to the next step.

Enjoy your week and see you on Friday for our You Pick the Card reading.

Weekly Reading -- March 30-April 5, 2015 -- Crystal Visions Tarot

Welcome to my weekly reading. Our first card out from the Crystal Visions tarot was The Unknown Card, a very striking and prominent image that seems to be giving us a warning considering the other two cards that follow. The Nine of Wands reversed is about a lack of vigilance or a lack of effort in doing what it takes to protect what's yours. The Fool coming right after it suggests an even stronger pull of that energy.

If you feel tempted to do something impulsive or spontaneous this week, think twice. You could end up regretting it later. Look into your own inner crystal ball or talk over your exciting plans with a trusted advisor first. I'll steal a cliche and say Better safe than sorry.

Have a great week!
