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!

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!

Weekly Reading -- December 22-28, 2014

Our reading for Christmas week has a lot of powerful energy, perfect energy for the end of the year when a lot of people are thinking about starting over, starting fresh, and setting new goals.

We could start off the week on a bit of a downer with the Tower. I see the Tower as a critical card. It shows up when we need it ... when something in our lives is not working and we need a jolt to get us moving in the right direction. At mid week, when Christmas arrives, so does the Magician, reassuring us that we have all it takes to manifest our desires. The end of the week is simply a gentle reminder of that energy, urging us to be creative and look at our lives in a new way.

I wish all of you a wonderful Christmas. See you next week for our New Year's reading.
