Weekly Reading -- November 22-28, 2015 -- Rider Waite Tarot

Two Major Arcana cards appeared in our reading this week which means there is some major energy taking place. Issues are coming to the surface and we are becoming aware of patterns that need to change.

In Work, we got the King of Swords, reversed. Upright the King of Swords is a very intelligent, rational, fair, just person. He is fact-based. Sentimentality is not his strong suit but logic and judgement are his forte. Reversed, this powerful, authoritative person can be arrogant, cruel, insensitive and rude. As he is a King, this is a person with some stature. This could be your boss or someone "above" you in the hierarchy at work. If this is an abusive situation, seek a remedy for it. Go to HIS boss and report his behaviour and see what you can do about it. You can choose to tolerate it but tolerance gets really old after awhile. This card could also represent an aspect of yourself this week. Watch what you say and how you communicate to people. Bad behaviour could come back to haunt you.

In Love/Relationship, we got The Hermit. The Hermit is all about retreat and self exploration. As he came up in our Love/Relationship area, this suggests you need to reflect on your relationships. If you are in a relationship, are you happy in that relationship? Are there issues that need to be addressed? Be honest with yourself. Something that may have been nagging at you is calling for your serious attention. If you are single, reflect on what it is you want in a relationship. What kind of a person are you looking for and who would you be most compatible with? What have you learned from previous relationships that you can now apply to future relationships? The Hermit is all about introspection. This card could also represent a very wise teacher who will guide you and advise this week. Listen to what this person has to say. They know whereof they speak.

In Health, we got The Devil. The Devil can often be about addiction. It's about feeling like you do not have control over your actions and your decisions. As this card appeared in our Health area, I sense it is referring to addiction or some bad habits that are interfering with your physical, mental, or emotional well being. These need to be addressed. They can be overcome but only with serious commitment. Very often we enjoy wallowing in our addictions. You need to be honest and reflect on whether or not you are ready to let go of an addiction. The addiction is serving a purpose and you need to know what that purpose is so you can find a healthy alternative for it.

An interesting week. The Hermit is shining his light right in the center and can illuminate many things for us if we choose to see. See you next week!

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.
