What are we waiting for? Let’s get out there. Let’s be creative. Let’s joyfully live our truth. Let’s manifest our vision of the world. Wait, what? We’re too tired? We have to pay this month’s bills? We have dishes in the sink? We have to walk the dog? We have to … yeah. In life,…

“Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool. Lovin’ both of you is breaking all the rules…” The Three of Swords always reminds me of the lyrics to this song from the 70s. It feels like you are standing at a crossroads and there are no good choices. In the song, it’s about loving two…

Before I go any further, let me state for the record that the Death card really has nothing to do with physical death. It does not portend that someone is going to die. It talks about the ending of a great cycle in our lives. Things have been moving toward an ending for a while…

I find this card a hard one to write about. There are so many connotations that people find it hard to objective about this card. We tend to ascribe so many meanings, facets, and patinas to it that we never get to bottom of things. In my opinion, it is easy to put all the…

Yegads, how do I write about the Tower? It’s change. It comes upon you. It often takes you by surprise. It kicks your butt and often, very often, it leaves you bedraggled and exhausted but clinging to a new shore on which you will leave a vastly different and generally better life. When a client…

I chose the Star back on January 10th so if you want to read that write-up and apply it to your life today, please find it here. Here is today’s take on the card. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about how what we do makes us who we are. If you make…

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…

Ah, the Queen of Cups is one of my favorite cards in the deck. She represents the compassionate, generous, creative aspect of the deck like few other cards. Not only that, but she reminds us that while we are being compassionate, giving, generous, and tender toward everyone else, not to forget ourselves. “Sure!” she says.…

The Ten of Pentacles has an upside and a downside. The upside: if you come from a caring, nurturing loving family who left you a legacy of joy and peace, why then you’re golden. If your family of origin was otherwise, you carry that legacy as well and you have a tougher road. Now, most…

I’ll be honest. It’s not the most pleasant of cards. It talks about stress, worry, potential illness, and general malaise. It doesn’t mean that your day is going to be like that. It does however mean that you need to be on the lookout for those kinds of distressing feelings and situations. And then, you…

Whenever I draw this card, it reminds me to enjoy the processes of my life. Sure, there are tons of things we all have to do. Often, the thought or even the stress of getting ready to do them makes them seem bigger, than they are. And when we actually bite the bullet and start,…

When I was a kid, I had a poster on my wall. It said, “Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell in such a way that they actually look forward to the trip.” In some ways, that statement typifies the brighter facets of this card. Yes, sometimes, we can’t help but…

During my time studying and reading tarot, this card has had the singular status of confusing me to no end. Like the wand suit of which it is a part, it is changeable, dynamic, and always in some sort of motion. Sometimes, when I look at it, I see a battle being waged and decisively…

Ah, the Happy Merchant. That’s what I always think of when I see this card. This is someone who is just pleased as punch and has worked hard enough to be darned self-satisfied. Today is a day not only to rest on your laurels but if you can, take the time to bathe in ’em.…

Today’s Tarot: Knight of Swords (knowledgeable, decisive, opinionated) Knights in the deck are a funny lot. Regardless of whether or not their suit is active, they themselves act to fulfill the descriptions of their suits. While cups are about our emotions and rods are about our actions, swords are about our decisions and thinking. They…
