#aprilfoolstarotchallenge Day 14- Temperance never spills a drop and never takes her eyes from mine as she sweetly asks, “What can teach me inner and outer balance in my life?” The Emperor. This rendition of the Emperor carries the strong masculine energy of The Horned One, the promise that the ruler has ties his fate to his land, while reminding me in the crescent moon that feminine energy is also present. I need both. I need the discipline and boundaries the Emperor which are the specialty of the Emperor, and I need to be tempered by my intuition as represented by the moon. Not too harsh with my lines in the sand, but never ignoring the soft still voice inside me.

#aprilfoolstarotchallenge Day 13- From the solemn skeletal face of Death a soft whisper emanates, “What aspect do I need to cut off?” The Hanged Man-I often stay perfectly still simply because I either don’t know what to do next or because I fear the ramifications of making a choice. I often bind myself up in the fortunes of those I am close to. I need to simply make a choice, and do so quickly. It may be wrong, and that’s okay. There are few times in life when a wrong choice is disastrous, but I have always survived those times and I always will in the future too. My indecision needs to go, as well as my misplaced sense of responsibility for other people.

#aprilfoolstarotchallenge Day 12- No more perturbed by his upside down state than by the wind wafting through his hair, in the most natural voice The Hanged Man asks, “Where is my passion for life?” This Hermit is very me- a dog, a book, a night pushed too late because the dog and the book are too lovely to sleep on. My dog and my book and my quiet time, my learning and introspection, those are the things I am passionate about, for sure.

Somewhere along the way I forgot to do what I love. Life has become subsistence- work, eat, sleep too little, do it again. My iPhone helpfully tells me how many hours a day I average using it (lots of downtime in my work) and I don’t want to type the number but if I have that much time to look at Facebook and Reddit I have time to write, time to read, time to cast cards. What I need most right now is Love. How I get it it is by changing my approach. The result is a time of inner healing even if the outward appearance does not change.

These cards are from the Zillich Tarot.

When your oracle deck is trolling you because there is in, fact, nothing but rain today.

But probably this is an allegory, in which I am to learn the lesson that with a sunny disposition and heart nothing can bring a good girl down.

But I am very, very down. This too shall pass.

Card from Oracle of Mystical Moments.

What do you need to relax? Really, I just need it all. Money and power and security, stability and trustworthy people around me. Not too much to ask, right? The Zillich Tarot is a Thoth based deck, and the Four of Pentacles is less a miserly hoarder in Thoth and more a powerful, driven Capricorn. An earth sign myself, I manifest a lot of the good and shadow aspects of the signs- determinedness/stubbornness, driven/materialistic, unflappable/immovable…

The Tessera Oracle is addressing the upheaval I am experiencing in familial relationships and in friendships, and within myself.

The Sword- Conflict
The Hive- Community
The Snake-Rebirth

My kids are growing up and moving out. This invariably brings some conflict and stirs feelings. Someone I considered a soul mate relationship has revealed themselves to not be at all. My most important work is on hold at the moment in favor of the more lucrative work. I can’t stay who I was. I have to seek stability and be productive even as circumstances around me change. I can’t use the ebb and flow of life as an excuse anymore. The stability I crave has to exist inside of me, where no one else can ruffle it.

This is the Four of Discs from the Zillich Tarot, The 90 Question Deck and The Tessera Oracle.

#theaugusttarot Day 1: Embracing a Positive Month

1- What energy is available to me this month? Ace of Wands, such an amazing card, full of potential, the source of spiritual strength, the seed of inspiration. So I have strength and creativity available to me.

2- How do I let this empower me in a positive way? Eight of Swords- ugh, this is one of THE most negative cards in the deck to me. Powerlessness is my greatest fear. I can face any hardship but I need to feel in control of my own destiny. But that need for control may be stifling my creative growth. I feel like I have to handle everything and be as perfect as possible and that literally takes up every moment of my time and drains every bit of energy. I have, as the Ace of Rods suggests, an actual fuckton of creativity, but I have written extensively about my seeming inability to focus it to any effect. Being forced to hold still and deal with the situation may offer the key to moving forward, as nonsensical as it may seem to me in this moment.

3- What is my good focus reminder of the month? Page of Wands, Three of Wands- the Page here is a messenger of the original card of the same suit, the Ace. There is something here for me to hear and see, which leads to the Three, spiritual strength and beginning to see the fruit of the efforts.

This reading was shadowed by the King of Swords, who jumped out more than once. He is in full command at any moment. He reinforces the message of the Eight of Swords- my need to control my situation is stifling my creativity and true work. Creative forces are wild, and often can only be ridden, usually by holding on, closing the eyes, and trusting the process.

These cards are from the Morgan Greer Tarot in a tin.

What obscures your ability to see? Right from the jump, the Page of Wands is turned away from the questioning card. I willfully make the choice to not see at times. I think this Page embodies a little too perfectly both the passion I feel and the scatteredness with which I apply it. Looking off in the distance at the realization of some faraway dream but not paying attention to the here and now, the details it will take to get there. Moving on to the Tessera Oracle I have The Hourglass, The Hive, and The Mountain. The Hourglass is an exhortation to value time and have an awareness of how it affects my situation. The keywords of The Hive are community, collaboration, and gratitude, but I am also called to mind the phrase “busy as a bee” and I certainly feel a frenetic energy almost always, yet it seems to not be propelling me forward, which is likely due to The Mountain, a large and insurmountable obstacle in my path. I live in Colorado, the place where you always orient yourself by where the mountains are. I love this place, it moves through my soul and I will live nowhere else by choice. Mountains are surmountable but only with planning and care. Taking this reading as a whole, I think I fill my time with unproductive busy-ness because The Mountain seems too scary to climb. That’s certainly a choice I can make, but I need to remember that I am granted the same 24 hours in a day as everyone else and the decision on how to spend those will certainly effect where I am next week, next year, and next decade.

This is a conglomeration of The 90 Question Deck, Page of Wands from Arcanum Tarot, and The Tessera Oracle.

How free is free enough? Not being a person who does anything by half measures, The Tower is an appropriate answer to this question. And the answer is, when I’ve burnt it all to the motherfucking ground… when the entanglements and illusions I’ve wrapped myself in, when the lies little and big have all fallen away, that’s when I will be free enough.

The 90 Questions Deck
The Tower - The Naked Heart Tarot

#tarotreading #tarot #dailytarot #cardoftheday #divination

Tarot is for everything. Today I am using it to help me stay on track with my eating plan. The first card answers the question, What will be my biggest block to staying on my eating plan today? Mother of Pentacles- this is a big one for me, being the card I most often identify as myself. I am an emotional eater, letting food be my comforter, my distraction, my escape, everything. The emotional eating is an integral part of who I am. I know this needs to change, but wow is it hard. I struggle with feelings of unworthiness and I often feel selfish in taking the time and money to prepare my food for myself. There is also a shadow side to the Queen of Pentacles reflecting laziness and complacency, both of which I definitely revert to whenever I relax. My second card, The Hermit, is the answer to how I overcome this block. I need to be patient with myself, understanding this is a lifelong journey towards wisdom, an even greater gift than the release from emotional eating. I need to be still and sit with my feelings, even the uncomfortable ones, and understand that being uncomfortable is okay. It won’t kill me. If I wait long enough the feelings may lead me to deeper understanding, but if I act immediately to alleviate them I may miss the opportunity.

These cards are from The Naked Heart Tarot.

The Naked Heart Tarot is my deck of the week. I’m excited to work with so much animal energy and he beautifully produced deck!

#tarot #tarotreading #dailytarot

What helps you show up? When I am confident, when I make a decision and act upon it without giving myself time to wallow in the details and talk myself out of my good choices, when I set a goal and take clear aim, I find it easy to show up. Ya’ll, I am struggling with the showing up lately. This is an excellent reminder to take steady aim and let loose. No time for dithering and working up existential crisis over every little thing.

This is 90 Questions Deck and The Eight of Wands - Arcanum Tarot

My inner landscape is ineffably altered even if my outer remains the same. It seems to me the first great work of all our lives is to become ever more ourselves, and having deepened into that now I am ready to take on another great work. I’ll keep working on authenticity but it comes easier the more I practice and no longer requires my full attention. Now I can move to the next chapter. So more it be.

My power resides in my total lack of fucks and complete ability to turn my back on anything that doesn’t serve my best interests. I am able to start over again completely from scratch, naked, vulnerable, but unafraid.

Some #tarot in the wild here today, and a powerful quote to go along with it- “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” ~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

#dailytarot #cardoftheday #tarotreading (at City Park, Denver)

The April Tarot Challenge XVI. Reminders III: I forgive myself for not always being the kind of mother I wanted to be and for not being the kind of daughter my mother wanted and loved. I forgive myself for all those aborted ideas that I held in my hand, that needed me to give them the breath of life, and I couldn’t find it in me to do that. I embrace letting go of guilt and shame and moving towards a better future even if I can’t see it clearly from where I am. I don’t need to.
