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…
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….
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…
Sometimes, despite our best efforts to be stalwart, true, and virtuous, we’re temped to shirk our responsibilities and take the easy way out. The seven of swords portends that today will be such a day. Around every corner, we’ll be tempted to take our toys and go home, or at least to sneak off and…

The Magician always takes me a little by surprise because he brings a clarion call to purposeful action. I tend to to think that I do most things on purpose and with purpose but then I draw the Magician and stop and think about what I’m doing and how I’m doing it. And then I…
Today’s Tarot: King of Rods (Bold, active, creating) The King of Rods doesn’t suffer lazybones gladly. In fact, he strides by those who would sit and do nothing as he creates and achieves. In his mind, there are great deeds to accomplish, great things to invent, and great times to be had. He is active…
Today’s Tarot: Four of Rods. (excitement, celebration, next steps) I love this card (and not just because I love weddings and it’s a card that depicts a wedding bower). It is just so happy. It’s the activity involved in either setting up a celebration or downright partying down. Take a moment today and rest on…
