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…

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…
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…
