Today's Tarot: Ace of Cups (emotion, intuition, love)

Yay! It’s another of my favorite cards in the deck. The Ace of Cups represents that first blush of love, or the spark of intuition that leads you in the right direction. It’s always the awareness of what you are feeling right when you are feeling it. It is one of the most optimistic cards…

Today's Tarot: Two of Swords (impasse, emotional stalemate)

Trust. In essence, this card is about trust. Wherever we find ourselves, we need to trust that we are seeing what we are seeing and more importantly that we are feeling what we’re feeling. We have to trust that it is okay to feel what we feel. Sure, if we are experiencing emotions that are…

Today's Tarot: Five of Cups (loss, regret, crying over spilled milk and what you can do about it)

Today’s Tarot: Five of Cups (loss, regret, crying over spilled milk and what you can do about it) The Cups are the suit of the emotions in the deck. Some are fantastic like the Ten (love of family, contentment, joy) and some, not so wonderful. The Five of Cups falls in the less than ideal…

Today's Tarot: Knight of Cups (emotional, imaginative, aware)

Romantic, moody, emotional, compassionate, creative, imaginative, feeling – these all describe the Knight of Cups. Today is a day to really get into how we feel and what it means to be us in our shoes, at this time and in this place. Sometimes, it’s easy to know how we feel. When my cat climbs…

Vulnerable only when safe? Is it worth it? (this week's cards)

Ups and Downs Emotionally? Oh yay! (This week’s cards: King of Cups, Page of Cups [reversed], Seven of Swords) I feel like I should be quoting cheesy 80s love song lyrics here, for some reason. But I think I’ll just say that if you put yourself out there emotionally, if you are honest about your…

Me Now, Me First, Me Only: The attitude basically sucks.

I’m over it. I’m just over it. I keep thinking that I need to just sit down, shut up, and let everyone else duke it out, but I’m just pissed as hell. What is wrong with our society that people are hurt by others and it’s systematically thought of as okay? What is wrong when…

Self-Care, Self-Love, & Patience

This week’s cards rock, on toast, with sugar-free, all natural jam. The first card: Two of Cups. This card is all about connection, sharing, a soul-to-soul union. If the past comes calling (and by “the past,” I mean an old lover/partner/boyfriend/girlfriend/snookly, and that person gave you warm fuzzies and you parted on good terms with…

Words to live by: "Say You're Sorry If You Hurt Somebody"

Today, I read a fascinating blot post on the Current Conscience about sensitivity and gaslighting (this terms comes from the Hitchcock movie where a husband tries to drive his wife crazy by setting the gaslights in their home to flicker while he denies that anything is happening). In the post, the author talks about the…

It's never as bad as it seems inside your head

Today’s cards are: Nine of Swords, Two of Rods, and the Sun! Yep, I put an exclamation point at the end of the Sun(!) because it’s just that kind of card and something needs to be done about that Nine of Swords.  That Nine of Swords squats inside your head and heart like a miasma….
