This Week in Tarot: 5 of Wands- Calm The F*** Down!

Everyone needs to chill the fuck out this week! We just celebrated Valentine's Day and now everyone's at each others throats? What-the-hell! (Chill Pill anyone?)

This week you could be butting heads with someone, or a group of people. When everyone's yelling and flailing their arms, it's pretty hard to hear anyone's opinion. The result is no ones getting anything accomplished- just wasting precious time and energy. Often times, fiery personalities want to be heard above others (or at least heard first!) and this can cause some serious tension.

There could be some (friendly) competition at work this week. Let's keep it friendly though, shall we? No need to turn it into loud arguments and god forbid- fist fighting! Lots of brainstorming happening this week. Brainstorming can be a wonderful, beautiful thing in a group, but it can also leave people fuming. Make sure everyone get's their two cents in without any rude interruptions.

On a lighter note, this card can also encourage you to be more playful, and literally "playfight". Get on the floor and wrestle with your kids. Or you and your significant other can enjoy some "wrestling" in the bedroom (if ya know what I mean!).

Feeling fiesty this week? Need someone to just listen? Relax and get some clarity from one of my tarot readings.

This Week in Tarot: Take Me to Funkytown!

Last week we charged forward, waving our freak flag proudly. This week, it's like coming back to our normal lives after going to Burning Man. The energy drops, and it's time to take it down a notch or two. You could be feeling in limbo this week, trying to figure out how to balance your energy and lifestyle again. Sometimes, when energy shifts so dramatically we're not sure how to roll with it. That's okay- find your footing this week. Go slow. Be kind to yourself. If you're naturally an introvert, this is your week to enjoy some alone time and nourish your body, mind, and soul. 

After the fun of last week, you could suddenly feel depressed, or more pessimistic than usual. "All good things must come to an end", as they say. Have faith that you'll eventually get out of this "funk", and start feeling funky again (the good kind of funk). 

If you want to get your funk back, just head on over to Funkytown!

Need some guidance on getting your funk back? I'll be your guide- come on over!

This Week: Wheel of Fortune

This one’s a biggie! Are you ready? Here we go! This week we have the Wheel of Fortune!

Whenever I hear “the wheel of fortune” I think of the game show automatically. I think of playing to win, and luck!

This is generally a very lucky card to receive, and also means good karma.

Jupiter rules this card, and Jupiter is about expansion, growth, opportunity, and success.

The angel in the top left represents the fixed air sign Aquarius, the phoenix represents the fixed water sign Scorpio, the bull represents the fixed earth sign Taurus, and the lion represents the fixed fire sign Leo.

They each hold a book representing wisdom. For me- having these four fixed signs on this card is about balance. Not just balance between work life, and family life, but more of a balance within ourselves- our spiritual selves in relation to the outer world.

The snake on the left, is the Egyptian god Typhon, the god of evil (notice he’s descending). The snake also represents change (think: snake shedding it’s skin). Anubis rising (ascending) on the right side is a symbol of transformation, and new beginnings, also, our shadow selves. The Sphinx on the top of the wheel represents life’s mysteries. The inner wheel contains the alchemical symbols for mercury, sulphur, water and salt – the building blocks of life. The eight spokes in the wheel represent the Universal energy. The blue background represents wisdom.

As you can tell, this card is packed FULL of symbolism and I could go on, and on about it, but let's get to the basics of this card.

How do you put it all together?

The Wheel of Fortune is a very lucky (“destiny”) card, but simply put- it’s a wheel. It’s constantly turning. Life is full of cycles, and life is always turning, moving, and changing. Sometimes we’re going up, and sometimes we go down. That’s life. It’s full of up’s and down’s right? This card can suggest that YOU need to get your butt moving- change something up, so you can get on the better side of the wheel. Perhaps the stars are in your favour, but YOU need to keep the wheel turning!

Through meditation and visualisation (manifesting), the Wheel of Fortune can assist and reinforce your intention to bring increased abundance, good fortune and prosperity into your life. This card allows your life to turn in a more positive direction, only if you are willing to grow and expand. The Wheel also represents karma, and reminds you that ‘what goes around comes around’. In the upright position, you are likely to be at the positive end but again, YOU have to keep that wheel turning. Don’t just sit idly by.

Affirmation for this week: “I let go of external events that I cannot control. I regulate my own feelings and actions in a positive way, and trust in the universe!”

Weekly Draw- 6 of Pentacles

Weekly Draw- 6 of Pentacles

To sum up this card in 3 words, it represents: giving, receiving, and balance.

A wealthy man hands out coins to the less fortunate, while holding scales in the other hand.

If you have the resources, or “know-how” to share with others, then do it! Know someone that could help you out? Be open to receive, and be thankful for that help.

It’s important to find balance when it comes to money. This week may be a good time to reassess that budget (or make one if you haven't already!). Learn where you can be generous with your finances, and where money’s tight.

If you find yourself well balanced already (when it comes to money and your resources), look into different ways you can help someone out. Charity is a good place to start, but perhaps a family member is struggling, or someone at the coffee shop is $2.00 short- throw a little “pay-it-forward” attitude to someone in need!

When it comes to relationships- who is the giver, and who is the receiver? Is there balance in that department? One person can’t go to work, clean the house, AND cook the meals, while the other lays on the couch all day. Look at how much both of you are doing and if it’s not 50/50, create a chore chart, or schedule when chores need to get done and who is going to complete it.

Especially if you have kids- get them, AND your partner involved. Share the workload, get organized, and when the work is done, show each other some gratitude.

As a side note: With fiery Mars in Libra (until January 3rd 2016) try to avoid fighting about money/budgeting with your partner, or lashing out at a family member for not doing chores. Libra is the sign of balance. SO, especially this week, keep balance in mind when speaking!

Affirmation for the week: “Financial abundance comes to me easily, lovingly, and generously, as I easily, lovingly, and generously offer my unique gifts!”

Weekly Draw- The Queen of Cups

This week's, weekly draw is: The Queen of Cups

This Queen represents the water signs of the zodiac: Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer. I must admit I’m kind of biased when it comes to this card, because I’m a Pisces (Pisces rising, & Scorpio moon!!). So, the queen of cups is my home girl!

I always get excited when I see this card, because I know whatever it is I’m asking, I feel like I’m getting the thumbs up from the universe.

She reminds me to follow my intuition- trust it! Look at my feelings and acknowledge them. Don’t be afraid to really “feel”, and get up-close-and-personal with people (and myself!). It’s important to nurture our feelings, and our inner most desires. It’s important to nurture others too, and sometimes being the shoulder to cry on, is better than telling them what to do.

On the downside- because this queen thinks and feels solely with her heart (and not overly with her head), her proper judgement can be clouded. Like water signs she can be a little wishy-washy, moody, and overly sensitive. She can also be a bit of a drama queen

(“HEY, Pisces aren’t drama queens! I’M NOT a drama queen!”............”Ok, maybe sometimes”.......)

For this queen, it’s always a fine balance of using her emotional side to benefit herself, and others, but also not letting her emotions completely run her life, and cloud her judgement. She sometimes can feel very misunderstood (oh boo-hoo Scorpio’s!).

She’s also not a queen you would find out on the battlefield. She’s content staying home reading and writing poetry, and playing the harp (I’m lookin’ at you Cancer’s!)

Either way, it’s hard not to love this gentle soul!

Affirmation: “I nurture others, as well as MYSELF because my feelings matter too!”

Weekly Draw - 4 of Wands

This week we have: 4 of Wands!

Look at these two love birds! I feel like I've had a tour of their humble abode (a freaking castle!), drank fine wine, and ate expensive cheese. They held hands (very cute!), and were very gracious hosts. Now after picking some flowers, they wave at me, sending me off saying, "come by and visit anytime! Our home is your home too!"

They feel like that overly generous couple with everything.

Or the couple that won the lottery and just renovated their house and now want to share their new "stuff" with you. (fine by me!)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that little story!

The number four represents completion. With wands, that could be a creative project, or work related. The foundation is being built, and now goals are becoming tangible- something solid. I think this card is also saying, whatever has been completed- enjoy your success! Sometimes we forget to enjoy the small victories in life too.

Finally got that dreaded laundry folded after chasing the kids around the house like a crazy woman? Break open that bottle of wine, and have a glass! You deserve it! (Okay, that was really about me, I must confess!)

Affirmation: “I take note of everything I have accomplished in my life (this year, this month, this week, today, etc.!) big and small, and I celebrate it!”

Weekly Draw - *The Star*

This week we have, The Star. I’ve included both the Rider Waite, and Thoth versions because I love them both!

When I see this card, I always think of my sister. She’s an Aquarius, and that’s the sign that rules this card. My sister has always had lots of friends, very friendly, and likeable. I guess you could say she’s a “star”. She’ll deny it. But it’s true.

The woman in this card is nude, which to me represents vulnerability, but also being open. She’s not ashamed of her nudity; she’s just doin’ her thang! She’s connected with the world around her, in both a practical, and slightly magical way. One foot is on land, the other on top of the water. That’s a bit peculiar isn’t it? Water is our emotions, our subconscious, and in this case- it’s supporting her. She’s also pouring water into this magical pond which tells me, She nurtures her emotional side. There’s a balance of give and take.

The Stars around her signify love, hope, and peace. I get really into the symbols here so bear with me!.....

We have 7, white stars. (truth, peace, the 7 chakras.)

One yellow star (confidence, intellect, light, happiness)

For me this is a very healing card, but more so to do with the collective unconscious. Or, world peace. Aquarius is revolutionary, innovative, and future-oriented. They bring new ideas to the table. They are the ones that question societal structures, and rules.

This card brings great inspiration, hope, and regeneration. It’s a wonderful energy to embody, and can simply mean, “shine like the wonderful star you are!”

Affirmation: “I open my heart, and have faith and trust in the future. I release all fears and doubts!”
