Weekly tarotscope reading for all signs:

May not be able to do this every week, but thought I'd throw one in today.

The week of June 29th:

Aries—You may start the week feeling like you’re ready to knock down anyone who dominates in a relationship. Finances may be tight, and partnerships in business or love might not be in the best of standings. Take some time to ground yourself: go outside, take in a nature walk, do some gardening. Enjoy the simple things. This is a good week for creative projects.

Taurus—Right now you are feeling stressed over relationships, and money. It’s time to balance the books and let go of the past. If someone has been deceiving you in love, truth and justice will come in. Emotionally, you’ve already dealt with the heartache and are ready to move on. Getting to a particular goal has been a heavy load, but you’re almost there. Don’t give up!

Gemini—You are being guided to a well-starred outcome from past troubles. Even if justice hasn’t yet been served to those who might have deceived you over money, or love, a brighter day is coming. You will feel the weight of past stresses lighten, and by the end of the week you have a new plan that will serve you well.

Cancer—This week you are feeling overburdened and tired. Perhaps someone in your life, the controlling sort, is partying too much, and, is it possible there’s a third wheel in the mix? In addition, you may feel that the money you’ve been waiting on is too slow in coming. But the wheels of fortune are still turning. Take some time this week to get out and enjoy life. Remember to stay focused and balanced. The finances you need will get here eventually. Don’t forget, you are the queen, or king, of calm.

Leo—You may be feeling sorry for yourself this week, but instead of wallowing in self-pity, use any quiet time you have to reflect on your strengths and harvest that which you wish to manifest in your life right now. Money may be tight, but you have all the tools to twist things in your favor. In love, secrets may be afoot. Any past relationships based on karma might need to be reviewed. In other words, let go of the past.

Virgo—Someone has knocked you off your feet, Virgo, but don’t let that stop you from getting out into the world and having fun. A message within an iffy relationship is not what you wish to hear. In fact, it’s downright depressing. Take what you’ve learned and move on. Don’t let a trickster, liar, cheater get you down. The cards show a very manipulative person who has trouble with facts. Let them go. Any aftershocks will be minor and you will land on your feet again.

Libra—Patience in money, learning to curb overspending, and upholding justice—these are your hot topics for the week. Be kind to yourself if you overstep any of the aforementioned boundaries, but do not let your guard down when it comes to people outside your circle of trust. If there is a fire-sign woman in your midst who promises the best of the best, assume that not everything she says is pure fact. If a move is in the mix, the devil is in the details. Take it slow and read the contract with a magnifying glass. By the end of the week you are looking good, feeling strong and a water-sign may show up to offer you a drink from his cup of love. It’s up to you to decide if the water’s safe enough to drink.

Scorpio—The week starts off with every cup filled to the brim: a cup for love, family, home and work, but trouble is in the mix. Someone is judging you too harshly, or are you the one doing the judging? An earth-sign woman is feeling down, trapped, and children are involved. A father figure asserts his power too much. Whether you’re the innocent, or guilty, someone’s ready to move on. The good news is, there’s a fresh start of something beautiful on the way. Grasp onto it, Scorpio. Also, you may be hoping for a vacation getaway. If so, make sure to do anything necessary to get your car in shape, and don’t forget the sunscreen!

Sagittarius—There’s a battle going that isn’t worth the fight. You may have sold your soul to the Devil to get something to go your way, and now you’d like to buy it back. Sleepless nights, feeling stuck . . . are you dealing with a fire-sign woman who reins her love tightly? Sagittarius, you have the ability to gain your power back. Let go of old issues and drop the heavy load. It’s time to look to a new horizon and choose a healthier, and happier, lifestyle. If you do, something once taken (your soul) will be returned.

Capricorn—You were out in the cold, but not anymore. If someone knocked you off your feet with a firm denial of any underhanded behavior, trust your impeccable sixth sense. Because it’s right. A new home may be in your midst, but you’d better start saving. Don’t let your guard down about a fire-sign male (or female) who acts more like a child than an adult. Feeling trapped? You do have the power to break free and you do not have to repeat an old pattern that has left you feeling chained. Forget those who assert their power over yours. Justice will be served. Was there a wish you wanted to come true? The universe says: yes.

Aquarius—You are looking back at your life and taking stock of all the things that went right and wrong. There’s an energy of peace and balance for you this week that will aid in healing. Take hold of it. Victory will come in matters of love. Perhaps not full justice, but the knowledge that new hope is just beyond the horizon should cheer you up. Business looks good, and real estate holds promise. Just make sure someone around, a fire-sign or water-sign, isn’t draining the funds in any secret and/or illegal endeavors.

Pisces—You need balance. Pisces, this is the prefect time to reflect upon past behaviors, and possible addictions, that have brought chaos to your life. The world is in your hands and a beautiful influence from the universe wishes to sweep you away to a happier, and much healthier, existence. Justice will come in terms of money. There’s a fresh start when it comes to handling your finances, that is, if you don’t waste it all on the ‘good life.’ The only thing that comes from gluttony is a heavy gut. Rein it in. Also, in terms of love, let go a little bit. Okay, a lot. Someone is ready to give you a tongue thrashing, an air-sign, and this time you might have to listen.

A Split

This is frustrating. The problems I've been having with a hacker are now, I believe, affecting other people. If you know me, you know that when it comes to others being affected, I get really upset. And the other less important issue out of all this is that someone might think I'm the hacker. This is so crazy. Yes, I have put legal disclaimers everywhere, and yes, I have spoken to the person I feel might be at fault. But apparently nothing has changed because the guilty party doesn't care. That's all I'm going to say about that from a personal standpoint.

It does lead to an interesting topic though—why are some people so rotten, and other people so conscientious? Why does such a wide rift of goodness exist in our society? Like drivers on a road, we all need to trust each other, and yet when that trust is decayed by someone's less than positive actions, you become a driver on permanent guard and the world turns into a dark and dangerous place. What an unhealthy way to live, right? And yet, there are times when being on guard is the most positive action to take.

Last night I received the I Ching: Splitting Apart. Quite a dramatic reading, to be honest. It basically says that when there is corruption it is best to lie low and allow the negative forces (and people) to burn themselves out, much like a farmer burns a 'dead' field in order to regenerate the soil. We live in a society where when something bad happens we run and yell, when in reality sometimes it's best to be silent, find shelter and wait. I know, it sounds like victim mentality, however, what does one do in a raging battle? Run into the line of fire while waving a red flag? We all know that would be stupid. If the enemy is closing in, you don't run into action, you form a protective barrier while also finding a means of escape.

These are confusing times, and my problems are most likely a reflection of much bigger problems the rest of the world is facing. Meditation and contemplation will always be the best means of dealing with a tricky issue, as well as being on guard and putting up limitations. How interesting that these ancient texts still resonate for so many of us today.

Dreams

I find it somewhat difficult to remember my dreams upon waking up each morning. My eyes open, life churns into action. Animals, kids, coffee, school. Dream forgotten. That's not unusual—most people are too busy to remember what they dreamed about the night before, and most feel it unnecessary to pick the imagery apart and apply the meanings to everyday existence. In a spiritual sense, dreams are a time of healing, a time to connect with the invisible realm, and also a time to dredge and address the issues we often push under the rug in our wake state. The symbolism, though often too surreal to comprehend, reflects that which we fear and which also can be our biggest asset, similar to the way tarot forces us to see our weaknesses and strengths.

Last night I had a dream that I was traveling by car to an unknown location. It felt like a work trip,  maybe doing book readings, or playing music. I pulled into a small town and decided to stop at a meek-looking hotel, which actually turned out to be a lot grander on the inside. It had an oasis feel to it: ferns hanging from the ceiling, brass and gold accents, a water feature, leather chairs with people lounging around with drinks in their hands. I checked in and went to find my room on the second floor, but my 'room' turned out to be a tiny bed in a closet—with no door. Not good. Not only that, but suddenly my daughter shows up and I have to find a bed for her as well, and I certainly can't have her sleeping in a closet! So, we go back down to the lobby where I demand an actual room with an actual bed. No problem. But instead of a key, they give me a piece of paper with a gold stamp on it. Fancy. I'm excited about it, because any room that needs a gold stamp must be really nice. However, before going back upstairs, I run into Pat Sajak. Yes, that's right. The game show host. I'm really excited and I tell him that he's a funny guy, like Johnny Carson funny, which takes him off guard and makes him blush a bit. That's when I notice his face is covered with a map—I see little town markers and names and lines running over his forehead, which probably stand for highways.

Then I wake up.

At first it upsets me that I'll never get to see that fancy room, but later on after drinking some coffee, I realize I've been getting the World card a lot lately along with the Wheel of Fortune card. What game show does Pat Sajak host?

Should I be planning for a trip in the near future? We shall see.

So, have you been experiencing a lot of vivid dreams lately, and do you take the time to write them down? You'd be surprised by what the spirit world (and your higher self) is trying to tell you.

Have a beautiful day, and many blessings!

In Time

Most people grow up with the belief that some are intuitive, and most others are not. That's actually not true. All of us are born with the ability, but we seldom use it. It really is like a muscle that needs to be worked out and built up. In time, the act of trusting your gut will yield a more powerful ability to sense both good and bad around you. On the other hand, a person can be incredibly intuitive yet unable to accept what is coming through about certain people or situations in their life. It's a matter of perspective—the closer you are, the more difficult it is to comprehend all aspects. When that happens, it's always best to step back, be still, and ask the Universe for guidance. You will receive the help that you need.

Blessings, and I wish you a wonderful day!

The I Ching

I pull an I Ching message at least once every day, usually in the morning, and find that it's quite accurate to whatever situation I'm going through. I Ching (ee-ching) is an ancient Chinese divination using six lines of random numbers which build into a hexagram. Because the numbers are random, you receive a unique message each time, but again, very relevant on a personal level. Unlike tarot where you use intuition and surrounding cards to derive a meaning, the I Ching provides an instant text that corresponds to the hexagram.

I pulled one this morning, 21: Cutting Through. Very accurate to my situation. I've had someone block my texts, emails, phone calls. They're pretty much trying to block me from progress in life, and they do show up in my tarot readings daily as a negative force. It was interesting yesterday how my spread showed me moving ahead in life on an emotional level, and there were three cards representing my 'hacker' (the seven of swords, the page of swords, the night of swords) and they were all facing the other way. Interesting. Needless to say, the stress of this has caused nausea, body aches, sleepless nights, fear, panic attacks. I'm just about at my last rope. But anyway, I'm not going to elaborate any more than that.

This paragraph caught my attention in particular, as I had a dream the other night in which I heard the phrase, "Quick decisive action."

Those who bring discipline to bear must, above all, be honest — with others, and with themselves. Honesty is the hallmark of the strong and self-confident. The successful person masters the art of honesty much as a swordsman masters fencing. When lies, delusions and game-playing are getting in the way of teamwork, a swift sword of honest action, perhaps even punishment, must be wielded to protect one’s integrity and values. Decisiveness with integrity at a time like this brings good fortune.

It will never make sense when other people inflict harm upon us. It is nice to know that the Universe wants to offer guidance and love in times of chaos and pain.

I wish you the best today! Peace.

Free Reading

In the essence of being helpful, and of building up some major good karma for myself, I would like to give away two free tarot readings. If there is anyone out there in need of one (and of course it must be stated that all tarot readings are for pure entertainment only!), I'll be happy to provide the service. Just let me know in the comments. The reading will be written and sent out in pdf format with picture included, much like the one above.

Peace & Happiness to you this Saturday!

Tarotscope for Pisces, 2015

 

Pisces 2015

Five of Pentacles—In January there will be a wish unmet, and an all-around feeling of not having enough in life. The problem is, what is it that you really want, Pisces? You’re the dreamer, the fantasy monger. You need to decide what would bring you the most value and happiness in life, and send the word out to the Universe. But remember, wishes can sometimes be like a cheap paper prize in a box of Cracker Jacks. Manifest wisely.

Four of Pentacles—Have you ever held a wet bar of soap and watched it jump out of your hands, over and over? Some things are impossible to grasp, yet you do so with determination—to the point of exhaustion. If the thing, or person, you’re holding onto feels like gravity going the other way, let go. If they come back, good. If they don’t, it wasn’t meant to be. In February, Pisces, loosen your grip and accept the feeling of freedom that comes back like a boomerang.

Ten of Cups—In March, there’s a choice to be made. You can have it all, but you must let go of foolish ideals. Is money happiness to you, or is it more a feeling of power, like being the single roost of the coop? Only a fool would think he can have it all, or should have it all. Sometimes the little things are the big things. Find happiness in simplicity, and real grandiosity will blossom.

Nine of Swords—In April, you may be feeling trapped by a long-time relationship. Possesed is more like it. Afraid to let the other person breathe or move or even think—and in doing so, you’re unable to breathe, move or think. I’ll Never Let You Go, sounds like a nice song-title, but a horrible basis for a loving relationship. The entrapment you feel—those chains—will fall away when you make the right choice.

Two of Pentacles—In May, you have fire at your heels, spurring you to make things happen right now. But it would be better for you to sit back and stick those dogs in a cool bath. Whatever is meant to come your way, will. It’s useless to force or rush the matter. By taking the time to allow the Universe to do its work, the results will be more to your liking.

Knight of Cups—You’re a Rhinestone Cowboy sitting up on a high horse, parading through town with twinkling lights and fresh leather chaps. Pardon me for being so rough, Pisces, but that horse needs a good bath. It wouldn’t hurt you to spend a little time taking care of other beings on this earth other than yourself. You got a big heart, and a reputation to uphold. June is the month to show the world that you care. That you’re more than a vest full of cubic zirconia.

Five of Swords—In business, or pleasure, you must hold yourself to high standards Do not take the easy way out, or try to cheat others, all in the wish to get ahead. In July, it is dire that you stop coveting what he has, or she has, or they have. You must put in the work for any gains that you would like to honestly call your own. It’s the only way.

Page of Pentacles—How many men looked to the West in the pioneer days and decided to up and leave everything, just for the idea of the unknown? It’s not a bad thing. You need open space and a fresh start. The sun is in the West, and there’s dark, shadowy demons in the East. You created these demons, and they want to claim you forever. Unchain yourself and ride the route of a true pioneer. In other words, in all things emotional and spiritual, go west, young man (or woman).

Five of Cups—In September, it’s not enough to have two cups, you want all of the cups. It really, really bothers you—those three missing cups. But in life, it’s always better to graciously accept that which you still have, instead of torturing yourself about what you don’t. Because, there’s always going to be something that is unacceptable, or wrong, or annoying, or just plain unavailable. Once you understand that, things get a lot easier. You can have it all, some of the time. And you can have some of it, most of the time. But you can’t have it all, all of the time. You just can’t. I think Bob Dylan kind of sort of said something like that. Enjoy what you have, Pisces, even if it’s not everything and all and the best and exactly what you thought you had to have. Because one day you may not have anything, and you’ll pine for those two cups.

Ace of Pentacles—In October, the Universe wants to gift you with something spectacular. It could be money, or a new job, or (you fill in the blank). Maybe it’s clarity that you need. Bam! The Universe will hand it over. Or maybe you want your spirituality to reach a new level. Bam! Do you get what I’m trying to say, Pisces? It’s not always financial things that you want, and the Universe knows. Sometimes your heart sends out messages you’re not even aware of. We are all connected to the Divine with a golden thread. Like an umbilical chord, it delivers our needs and desires to the Divine, and the Divine sends to us an intravenous dosage of goodness and healing. So, you’re going to get something good, but it may not be exactly what you’d brag about to Bob at the office over a cup of Folgers. Just in case though, go ahead and buy some lottery tickets. You might get lucky.

Knight of Swords—In November, I would advise against breaking any speed limits, or mouthing off, or just basically doing anything illegal or stupid. It’s good advice in any month, but this one in particular. Check yourself, and things will be fine.

Five of Rods—In December you are fighting the old system, raging ahead, because it feels like someone else will take what you believe to be rightfully yours. It’s a gamble with a high chance of gain, and an even higher risk of loss. Try to find some middle ground. See both sides before setting fire to the entire town.

You may have noticed there are a lot of fives in your reading, Pisces. I’m not trying to call you out, but consider this entire 2015 tarotscope as a friendly warning. In tarot, five can stand for aggression, control, authority, manipulation, addiction and a whole lot of other negative stuff. It may feel like you are in control, but eventually it’s you who are enslaved by these acts of power. Every month seemed to hold a good choice, and a bad choice. I’d say that is pretty darn awesome. Pisces, you have the choice to do great things—to be compassionate, to elevate yourself in spirituality, to find the higher, and more illuminated, road. So please consider that and let it sit for a while. I wish you the best!

Have a wonderful 2015. Peace & love.
