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.
