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 -- November 29-December 5, 2015 -- Morgan Greer Tarot

An interesting week is in store with an intriguing lady possibly playing a prominent role in our Love/Relationship area. Another interesting factor this week is that all our cards are reversed, indicating blockages or possible stress. Remember that stress is transitory and to ride the wave. These cards are all Minor Arcana and it shouldn't be too difficult.

In Work, our card is the Three of Pentacles, reversed. Upright this card symbolizes apprenticeship, teamwork, starting to work in an organization and contribute to a common goal. Reversed this card indicates some difficulty in those areas. You could find yourself feeling like you are doing more than your share of work, having to carry the load for others, and not being appreciated for your efforts. Do your best not to fly off the handle if any frustrations boil over and see what you can do to solve them. If you are looking for work, you could feel like your efforts are just not paying off at all. Remember to persevere. Sometimes we have to strike at the iron more than a few times before the sparks start to fly.

In Love/Relationship, we got the Queen of Pentacles, reversed. Upright this Queen is the most stable and secure of all the queens, in my opinion. She is completely comfortable with her environment, her financial situation, and her relationships. She wants for nothing. However in the reverse she can be the opposite: insecure, unstable in her relationships, stressed about money and security. This could be you feeling some strain in your relationship and you will know intuitively whether this is a strain that is minor and will pass or whether it is a sign of some major concerns. This card could also represent another person -- another woman, specifically -- who is causing some strain in your relationship. It could be an overbearing woman, someone who is simply annoying and intrusive, or an actual "other woman" who is competing with you in your relationship. Don't get paranoid and accuse your partner of cheating if you have no evidence but if your suspicion is aroused, this could be a heads up.

In Health, we got the Seven of Swords, reversed. This is a card that can represent deception, dishonesty, not being told all the facts. It can also be about tact -- about knowing when it is wiser to stay silent rather than to speak your mind. As this card was reversed it says to me you may be feeling like you don't have all the facts about your health or that a health care provider is not competent or out-and-out scamming you. It could also indicate that you are not being honest with yourself about a health concern. You will know intuitively as you read this if that is the case. Watch out for snake oil salesmen -- people who claim to have "miracle cures" or "miracle programs".

An interesting week indeed and I hope all of you have a wonderful one.

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 -- November 15-21, 2015 -- Anna K Tarot

Welcome to another weekly reading and thank you for joining me!

This week we have a very powerful "anchor" card in the form of The Empress who turned up in our Love/Relationship sector. The Empress is an amazing card and her energy can vastly improve not only our love life but every aspect of our life.

In Work, we got the Nine of Rods. The Rods are a suit about energy, inspiration, and action. When we reach the Nine, we are pretty much exhausted. We have put a lot of effort into what we are doing and may feel like we are overburdened or like we just have too much to handle. If you are feeling swamped, see what you can do to improve the situation. Negotiate and try to delegate some responsibilites to other people who have a lot more free time than you do. If that doesn't work or is not an option, make sure you take the time to rest and recharge whenever you can. If you need to, take a sick day (but think of it as a wellness day). You're entitled.

In Love/Relationships, we got The Empress. The Empress is just about the most fortuitious card you can see in this position. She is all about abundance, sensuality, sexuality, nature, fertility, growth, and acceptance. She can also represent pregnancy so if you don't want a child make sure you take measures to prevent any unexpected surprises. I think The Empress has turned up to tell us we need to sit back and let love come to us .... and give it freely to others. What we give out tends to come back to us. So if you want love and pleasure ... give it.

In Health, we got the Eight of Swords. I love this depiction of the Eight of Swords as a woman looking at her reflection in the mirror and seeing herself bound and helpless when in reality she is anything but. This is the message for you this week. Are you feeling sorry for yourself, feeling helpless, like your hands are tied? This is a quagmire of your own making and as long as you keep thinking this way the binds will get tighter. Choose to take action and improve your situation rather than thinking there is nothing you can do. Free yourself!

Have a wonderful week and see you next Sunday!

Weekly Reading -- November 8-14, 2015 -- Connolly Tarot

Our reading this week is sunny and bright -- just like the deck I used, the Connolly Tarot.

Our Work card is the Five of Pentacles, reversed. The Five of Pentacles is often referred to as the "poverty card". It's about financial hardship but it can also be about emotional hardship. Sometimes we can feel outcast, like we don't belong ... or we can deliberately adopt that mindset out of a belief that the world is a terrible place, no one is trustworthy, and we need to handle things on our own. As the card was reversed, I believe a lightening of this feeling is in the works this week. We may have felt under a lot of financial or emotional pressure and that pressure is lessening. We are beginning to see relief.

Our Love/Relationship card is The Chariot. This is a wonderful card as it indicates powerful forward movement, confidence in yourself and your abilities. If you're single and have your eye on someone, you could be ready to move forward and approach them ... or you could simply be ready to get out in the dating arena again. If you are attached, this card could mean moving to the next phase of your relationship: an engagement, the purchase of a home for the two of you, or the decision to start a family. The Chariot is also about balancing our dark and light sides and making them work together harmoniously. This is extremely important if any relationship is going to flourish.

Our Health card is The Empress. This is an amazing card to show up in this area as The Empress is all about abundance, nature, fertility, and love. She is the Divine Mother. Abundance flows to her because she IS abundance. She gives freely and receives freely. I think that expressing love to others is going to be key this week and in turn this will benefit you so much emotionally and physically. Be kind, open, and giving this week. Receive kindness and love from others. Forgive petty differences because resentment breeds negativity. The Empress is also very much about pleasure. Get out in the outdoors and enjoy the sensuality and beauty of your surroundings. Give yourself to whatever you're doing emotionally and physically this week.

Enjoy this beautiful energy!

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 -- October 25-31, 2015 -- Druid Craft Tarot

It looks like thinking will be prevalent for us this week as we got two Swords cards in our reading. However we also got a Cups card in the area of work which looks like emotional satisfaction could be very promising in that area.

In Work, we got the Queen of Cups. The Queen of Cups lives from her heart. She gives and receives love and knows how to freely express her heart's desires. This card is telling you that you should do the same, especially if you are thinking of starting your own business. We should all be able to earn a living doing what we love. This card is nudging you to do that. What service could you offer that would really help people and give you satisfaction as well? What do you truly love to do? What do you do that you enjoy that you don't get paid for (for the time being)? That is a clue as to what you should be doing in your career.

In Love/Relationship, we got the Seven of Swords. This card is often thought of as the "deception" card or the "tact" card. It's about keeping things close to the vest, for good or bad. In the Druid Craft tarot, however, the image on the card suggests retreating to figure something out that has been weighing on your mind. As this card is in our relationship area, are you trying to figure something out about a relationship? Are you weighing the pros and cons? If so, definitely take your time. Do not make any impulsive decisions while you are in assessment mode. Do all the figuring first and don't divulge your thoughts until you're ready to express them.

In Health, we got the Ace of Swords. In this card, the sword is being boldly held out of the water in what looks like triumph or some great purpose. You could get a bold new idea or come across a new idea regarding your health this week. Maybe you'll see a book, watch a video or even hear a conversation that piques your interest. Go with it. Aces are always about new beginnings and this could be a very positive start.

Have a wonderful week, my tarot peeps!

Weekly Reading -- October 18-24, 2015 -- Housewives Tarot

We could encounter some financial or relationship stress this week but the key is to remain grounded and call upon your inner strength. No matter what or who tries to push your buttons, do NOT overreact.

Our Work card is The Empress, reversed. Upright The Empress represents abundance, fertility, the divine feminine. She draws abundance to her simply because of her gentle, loving, allowing nature. As the card was reversed it indicates that we are blocking this energy that is within us. We have the ability to manifest, create, and receive but we are either not seeing it or subconsciously blocking it. Look around you and see the abundance that you are missing. It is definitely there. You also have the ability to draw more of it to you. Relax, breathe, and allow.

Our Love/Relationship card is Strength. Strength is about inner strength. It's about our ability to control our emotions and not allow them to derail us and send us down the wrong path. This card in this position indicates that we need to call upon that energy this week. People we are involved with could be pushing our buttons this week, testing our patience, crossing boundaries. Stay calm and above all, do NOT overreact (as I said in my intro). This card could also mean that someone in our lives will come to us precisely because we have this inner strength and they need our help. Extend your helping hand to that person and be that support for them.

Our Health card is the Six of Swords, reversed. The Six of Swords is about getting away from a place or situation that has caused you some anguish in the past. It's about going to a safe haven and recovering from a tough time. As this card was reversed it indicates that we are blocked from doing this. We may be stuck in a place that makes us feel uncomfortable, worried, or stressed. Once again, the energy in the Strength card will serve us well here. Call upon that inner strength to deal with a difficult situation. If you let it stress you out and worry you too much it could affect your health. Just relax and know that the challenge will eventually pass. It's how you deal with it that matters.

Have a great week, everyone!

Weekly Reading -- October 11-17, 2015 -- Cosmic Tarot

All Wands cards this week are indicating a fiery week ahead full of passion, inspiration, and action.

In Work, we got the Four of Wands, reversed. Upright this card is all about foundation in a creative, active sense. The necessary steps have been taken and success has been achieved. However as this card was reversed it indicates some challenges in this area. We may not feel our efforts have taken root or paid off the way we want them to. This can definitely be remedied. Take a lot at your situation and see what feels "off". Then do what you can to make a positive shift.

In Love/Relationships, we got the Ace of Wands, a very sexy card. :) If you are coupled, this can indicate a renewal or resurgence of passion between you and your partner. If you are single, this can indicate meeting someone who REALLY turns you on. Either that or you are just feeling hot, sexy, and very confident about yourself. Let the fire burn. :)

In Health, we got the Queen of Wands. This Queen is dynamic, sexy, and loves to have a good time. She is an accomplisher and prefers to be in the driver's seat at all times. This can indicate someone in your life who is a very positive influence health-wise or you could be feeling this way. Overall this card is telling us to embrace this Queen's fiery energy and get out there and DO things. Move your body, enjoy yourself. It will do wonders for you.

Have a wonderful, passionate week!

Weekly Reading -- October 4-10, 2015 -- Morgan Greer Tarot

What's a tarot reader to do when a negative card pops up in a reading? The only thing to do is tell the truth but offer some constructive advice regarding the situation. We got a very negative card in our read this week in our Love/Relationship area. Some of us could experience a very bad argument in our personal relationships.

In Work, we got the Page of Swords, reversed. The Page is a court card and likely represents a person with this energy in your work life. Upright the Page is an eager learner, a fledgling, someone who is perhaps a little immature in the way they think and communicate. Reversed this could symbolize a difficult person or someone extremely passive. Perhaps a previously confrontational or difficult person has suddenly become meek and mild. If you're unemployed this could mean you're really lying low this week and taking it easy. Can you afford to? If not, you may need to motivate yourself to get things done.

In Love/Relationships, we got the Ten of Pentacles, reversed. Upright this card is all about happy family, financial security, stability and success. Reversed this could mean the exact opposite: arguments and financial problems. If there are issues in your relationship you need to address make sure you do it constructively. This could be the kind of argument where someone says the wrong thing and it leads to catastrophe. Be mindful of what you say and how you say it.

In Health, things couldn't be better with The Sun card. The Sun is all about happiness, vitality, radiance. You could be feeling amazing this week physically. You're taking great care of yourself and feeling the results. If your habits are not what you want them to be this card could indicate that if you make some changes you will definitely feel the benefits.

Hope you all have an amazing week. Remember ... words have a great deal of power. Choose them carefully.

Weekly Reading -- September 27-October 3, 2015 -- Aquarian Tarot

I'm pleased to say the cards are much kinder and mellower this week. :) There is some very nice energy in store although we could have some difficulty in the health area. Awareness and attitude are key to transforming that energy.

In our Work, we got the Ace of Rods (or Wands). Aces signify new opportunities or beginnings. If employed you could get a promotion or start a new project that really excites you. If unemployed you could get a job offer or a great idea related to work. Since Rods relate to creativity and inspiration if you are an artist you could get a great idea this week that really gets your creative juices flowing. Go with it. Follow that creative path.

In Love/Relationships, we got the Page of Cups. This could represent you or someone in your life with Page of Cups qualities which are dreamy, loving, open, optimistic, perhaps a bit naive. Pages are said to represent children or people with childlike qualities. If the card relates to you, enjoy this energy. If you are single you could be feeling very romantic and dreamy. There could be someone you want to reveal your affections to but you may be feeling a bit shy. That's okay. Take your time and do so when (and if) you feel comfortable. If you are in a relationship, you could feel a resurgence of romance or be seriously considering your options regarding the relationship. (I'm thinking of that reversed Nine of Rods we got last week.)

In Health, we got the Ace of Cups in reverse. Again, this refers to a beginning but it has been turned upside down. Perhaps something that started out well has suddenly hit a roadblock. Don't beat yourself up about this. If you find yourself "falling off the wagon" reflect about why it happened and get right back on. Alcohol could be an issue. If you are concerned about your own drinking habits or the drinking habits of someone close to you now is the time to address it.

In summary this looks like a pretty smooth, enjoyable week except for possible challenges in the Health area. Never underestimate the power of the mind to put things back into balance. Focus is everything.

See you next week!

Weekly Reading -- September 20-26, 2015 -- Anna K Tarot

Sorry for the delay in our reading this week, folks, but better late than never! Our regular schedule will resume this coming week. :)

The cards are indicating challenges ahead in every sector: Work, Relationship, and Health. When situations like these arise try not to see them as negative but as positive opportunities for growth. Challenging situations are simply letting you know that something needs to be adjusted.

In Work, we drew the Ace of Cups in reverse. Aces represent new opportunities or fresh beginnings. Cups represent our emotions and spiritual selves. With the card reversed it indicates a blockage of this energy. We may feel stuck in a job we hate or feel unable to pursue our "dream" career. Search for solutions. If you look hard enough and open your mind enough you will get ideas.

In Relationship, we drew the Nine of Rods (or Wands) in reverse. The Nine of Rods is about exhaustion. In terms of emotions and relationship, this card could be expressing that you have reached your limit in a relationship. You are just about to walk or you are seriously considering it. And you need to. Make sure that whatever effort and energy you are putting into a relationship is worthwhile. If you keep doing all the work or suffering endlessly, what is the point? If you are single this card could indicate that you are beyond frustrated with your search for the right partner. If you start feeling sorry for yourself and projecting anger about being single you will only sabotage yourself and drive the right person away from you. Attitude is key.

In Health, we drew The Devil in reverse. This card indicates a major health concern that could relate to an addiction or negative thinking. The Devil is all about feeling like you are a slave to someone or something (like an addiction). You could be feeling powerless or helpless but you are not. You are the ruler of your own life. It is time to take control and free yourself from limiting beliefs. They are affecting or could affect your health.

Meditation is a great way to destress and explore yourself. I highly recommend that if you are facing these kinds of challenges that you free up some time for meditation. It will greatly assist you in feeling more at peace and relaxed ... which is exactly the state of mind we need to be in to make important decisions.

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 -- September 6-12, 2015 -- NEW FORMAT!!! -- DruidCraft Tarot

Greetings, fellow explorers! :) I decided on a different approach with our reading this week. It is still a 3-card draw but each card represents a different aspect of our lives: Work, Relationships, Health. Please feedback to me and let me know what you think. Do you prefer this method or my previous mode of reading?

Our Work card is the Eight of Wands. Swift movement. Expect results. You have set events in motion and they are well on their way to bringing you results. You could get news about a job. This card indicates smooth sailing, things working like clockwork.

Our Relationship card is the Queen of Cups. This is a card of total emotional fulfillment and acceptance. This Queen is at peace with her situation so whether you are single or in a couple, this card indicates contentment and ease. It also indicates some kind of emotional intention being put out in the world. Don't be afraid to make a wish and act on it. The way the Queen appears in this card it is likely your wish will come true. :)

Our Health card is The Magician. This card is all about taking control and directing your will. If you have been feeling run-down and sluggish lately it could be due to your thoughts and attitudes. The Magician urges you to take charge and MAKE yourself feel better. Obviously if you have troubling health concerns, consult your physician. But if you're just feeling a general physical blahness, get active and take charge of your body. Change your diet. Get some exercise. Recognize the power of your mind to affect everything, including your health.

Hope you enjoyed this new format. See you next week! Enjoy the wonderful energies surrounding us.

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 -- August 23-29, 2015 -- Conscious Spirit Oracle Cards

I decided to switch it up and use Kim Dreyer's lovely Conscious Spirit Oracle rather than tarot this week. Hope you enjoy the change of pace!

Our cards this week are giving us the message to reach out not only to the people in our world but to the universe as well. We are being encouraged to share our thoughts, our love, and our kindness with others. We're also being encouraged to share our concerns and questions with the universe and with the divine -- specifically, Archangel Gabriel, the divine messenger. If you've been feeling down or worried about the way things are going in your life ask the archangel to show you some signs. Allow yourself to be open to the messages you receive. The more you allow yourself to be open to what comes, not only from the people around you but from the divine, you will feel your passion reignited.

Open your heart and open your mind this week. Allow yourself to express love and kindness toward others and allow yourself to receive assistance from beyond.

Enjoy!

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 9-15, 2015 -- Going Back to Basics with My Classic Rider-Waite Deck

Hello there, thank you for joining me for another weekly reading! I felt strongly called to go back to basics with my classic and inscrutable Rider-Waite deck this week and as usual my intuition was rewarded with a very powerful message.

We could encounter difficult people or a difficult situation this week. Whether it is work-related or whether it regards personal relationships, we are likely to encounter bickering, negativity, people's egos getting in the way and everyone trying to convince you that their opinion is right and you should follow their lead. It's very important for you to stand up for yourself and speak your mind but it's even more important for you to come from a place of calm and serenity when you do so, as symbolized by the Four of Swords.

The Four of Swords has always been one of my favourite cards in the Rider-Waite tarot. It evokes such peace and restfulness of mind. This is essential when dealing with people who are all riled up and invested in their own agendas. In order to deal with them in the most effective way you need to come from a place of total calm and self assurance. That way even if they still don't listen to you or continue to act chaotically it has no effect on your peace of mind.

If people challenge you or try and joust with you this week, take a deep breath and smile. Go to your peaceful place. No need to make war ... and realizing this means you will always walk away from any battle intact and unscarred.

Have a wonderful week!

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 -- July 26-August 1, 2015 -- Simply Deep Tarot

Get your fans and air conditioners ready because this week is all about fire and passion! All of our cards this week are Wands cards which signify creativity, passion, inspiration, sexual energy and the drive to express yourself.

We have two reversals but we also have the incredibly strong support of the King of Wands, either externally or within ourselves. It is definitely possible to turn the reversals upright and channel their positive energy if we can embrace his confidence, ambition, and dynamism. The King of Wands is a huge achiever. He gets out and DOES things and captures everyone's attention and admiration while he does it. He is not afraid to be seen and to pursue his desires.

It's time to bold and take a chance with an idea. Don't be afraid to shine and don't allow others to steal your light from you. Be the King of Wands ... go out and get whatever it is you want.

Have fun with this energy this week!
