Weekly Reading -- December 6-12, 2015 -- Robin Wood Tarot

An interesting mix of energies has appeared for us this week. Work appears to be smooth sailing and even celebratory with possible holiday parties on the horizon. Our Love and Relationships look less smooth, even very dark for some of us. Escape and retreat are necessary.

In Work, we got the Three of Cups. This is a card about joy and celebration, getting together with friends, letting your hair down and having a good time. Since Christmas is close at hand, this immediately made me think of holiday parties. You could be getting together with colleagues and office life could be a lot less formal. Enjoy the festive atmosphere and count your blessings if you are happy in your career. If unemployed, this card is telling you to ask yourself where you would feel this way in your work life. What kind of job would allow you to feel joyful and celebratory, among like-minded people? This is where you need to focus your search.

In Love/Relationships, we got The Devil. In this particular deck, this card looks particularly dark as it depicts a man reaching for a sunlit window that seems very far from his reach. If you are in a relationship that is abusive, unhealthy, toxic and unhappy, this card's message is plain and simple: YOU NEED TO GET OUT. Many people justify staying in a bad relationship because they believe they can't live without the person and they are deeply in love with them. No "love" is worth continuous suffering and it also NOT love. It is your choice whether you stay or go. The message is clear. If you are single, this could refer to friendships and family relationships that are toxic and unhealthy. Same message: GET AWAY or limit your time with these people (if you are "stuck" with them, as in a family member). You could also be treating yourself very badly, putting yourself down and berating yourself. You need to stop and start recognizing all your positive qualities. Focus on those. Everyone deserves happiness and love. SELF love is the most important love of all.

In Health, we got the Six of Swords. I see this card as a direct correlation to The Devil card in our Love/Relationship area. The Six of Swords is about getting away from a troublesome situation or troublesome time. Perhaps this relationship has really put you through the mill and you feel run-down and physically weak, not to mention mentally and emotionally drained. You need to get away to a calmer, gentler, quieter place and recharge your batteries. You need to recoup your strength. You have unseen help around you from your angels and/or spirit guides. They are helping you along. Pay attention to your intuition and sudden inspiration to go here or go there. Taking a break from stress and worry will do wonders for your health in all respects.

I hope you all have a wonderful, positive week! Remember -- peace and happiness are a choice.

Weekly Reading -- September 13-19, 2015 -- Housewives Tarot

Greetings, tarot peeps! :) I've decided to start uploading my readings on Sundays rather than Mondays from now on. Hope you enjoy the slight change in schedule.

This week I am using the Housewives Tarot, a wonderful deck that I believe is very underrated. It has a whimsical, quirky feel but definitely gives very insightful, effective readings.

Our week looks like it is going to go very smoothly except for some possible snags in our emotional/relationship realm.

Our Work/material life card is the Three of Cups, the card of celebration. You could find yourself attending an office party or celebrating something regarding your work or career. Perhaps you got a new job or started a new school year. If you are unemployed this card could simply be indicating a fun week ahead with friends. You could have a lot of fun socializing this week.

Our Relationship card is the Magician reversed. Upright the Magician is a very positive, powerful card emphasizing the strength of our focus and will to manifest what we want in our lives. As it is reversed this could mean that you are feeling very blocked in that area. If you are attached, you could have disputes with your partner. If single, you could feel blocked about attracting the mate you want. Calm down and step back from the frustration. Communicate clearly to get what you want. This card could also be a warning about a smooth talker, someone who seems to be good to be true. Don't trust blindly and don't believe everything someone says. Give them time to reveal themselves before you decide to get deeply involved.

Our Health card is the Three of Wands, a card of accomplishment. This card is like getting a pat on the back. If you have started something new regarding your health this card is letting you know that it is working well and the results will come in. Don't get frustrated if things don't appear to be happening fast enough. Just keep doing what you're doing because you are doing well.

Have a great week, everyone!

Weekly Reading -- June 8-14, 2015 -- SHERLOCK HOLMES TAROT

This week's reading is all about internal work. Someone may take you by surprise and rock you emotionally this week. You could also find yourself trying to find ways to change your emotional state. Perhaps you've been locked in one state of being for a very long time which you know has to change .... yet you feel like a novice in terms of what to do about it. 

We all have to start somewhere. As long as you put in the consistent time, effort, and focus, things WILL change. They may take some time to reveal themselves but what is not visible immediately exists under the surface. The changes are taking place in your mind and they will manifest when the changes are solid and mature enough. 

Change is a learning process and especially in this case, very much worth it. 

Have a great week and see you next Monday!

Weekly Reading -- May 3-9, 2015 -- New Mythic Tarot

Welcome to the first week of May! :)

This week's reading has a heavy emotional component to it which seems to be triggered by our first card, the Four of Pentacles. Four is the number of foundation and this card is positive in the sense that it's telling us our financial needs are being met. However we could be worrying and stressing about money too much. Maybe we feel like we are not making enough money ... that we need to "keep up with the Joneses" and it's affecting how we feel about ourselves.

The Three and Page of Cups in reverse is telling us that we are not having fun and not feeling very good about ourselves. We could be letting what we perceive other people think about us and what we do affect our sense of self.

Remember that money is secondary to happiness. Money is necessary to fulfill basic financial needs but it cannot buy happiness. Happiness comes from within. Spend some time focusing on the good things in your life and the people you love. Spend time with them, have fun. Stop putting so much importance on projecting an image of success. True success is feeling the freedom to be who you are and feel good about it.

Have a wonderful week!

Weekly Reading -- December 8-14, 2014

This week looks like it contains a pretty even mixture of energies. We start off the week in practical mode with the Seven of Pentacles where we could be assessing our money, career, assets -- anything to do with our material life. At the end of the year a lot of us are reflecting and thinking about what we want in the future. Some of us are mulling over New Year's resolutions. Is there anything you'd like to change?

By mid week we could be feeling a little wiped out with the Ten of Wands. Perhaps all that practical consideration and money preoccupation at the start of the week has taken its toll and we need to just TAKE A BREAK and make time for ourselves. We could be feeling like we're doing a million things at once, like we are overburdened. Many of us push ourselves hard at this time of year, making sure we attend this holiday party and that holiday party. Give yourself permission to rest and politely decline invitations if you must. Take time for yourself.

By the weekend, you ARE ready to party and have a good time. The Three of Cups is all about feeling joyful and enjoying the company of good friends and family or even just YOURSELF. If you can't enjoy your own company, how can you enjoy anybody else's?

Have a wonderful week!
