Reading for 8-26 Through 9-1-19
Reading for 8-26 thru 9-1-19. The Center card this week is the 6 of Wands The sixes of the Tarot are inherently about balance. As above so below. They engender meeting an obstacle or challenge and emerging on the other side with the knowledge that we’ve succeeded, we’ve figured it out, we’ve survived. Not only have we come out of the challenge with the wisdom of experience, we find the ability to recognize the events or reasons that we got tangled up in the first place. With a feeling of peace born of successful outcomes, we find ourselves stronger and wiser. Now, when presented with the particular triggers or urges that drew us into confusion or frustration, we can make a conscious choice about whether we want to repeat the experience or shift focus and go in a different direction. As this 6 is in the suit of Wands, the demands on our energy have been heavy. We employed a great chunk of passionate drive and we seem to have been riding an adrenaline high. As the pressure declines, however, so does the drive to meet it. Often with that kind of drain on our inner resources, we find ourselves in a period of exhaustion or depletion when we need to retreat and regroup. The Knight of Pentacles is a great, stable energy to compliment that.

Gradual or Sudden
Is awakening sudden, or gradual? It is well to use the term, "awakening," rather than "enlightenment," because "enlightenment" tends to invoke a lot of beliefs and assumptions that get in the way more than point to the path. Soon after his own awakening, a passerby saw him and asked him what he was.

Mirror Dragon Tarot
The Center card this week is Art With this Major Arcana card at the center for the week our clearest and deepest focus is about how to pull all aspects of a given situation together so that the separate parts form greater and more cohesive whole. Although it may at first seem unlikely, even impossible, to bring dis-similar energies into alignment this is exactly what the influence of Art encourages and guides us to do. We spent last week concentrating on our Earthy (Pentacles) resources and material concerns using the air-based (Swords) facets of our cognitive thought processes. Perhaps the bits and pieces in the watery (Cups) emotional parts of our lives have taken a back seat. The energy of Art allows us to see the disparate threads of our tangled emotions and how they can be woven together to give a broader, more compassionate completion to our resource based gains plus a safer, more reasonable environment to address our touchier interactions.

Tarot: Just What Is It and Where Did It Come From?
Although having grown in popularity considerably in the later part of the 20th century, many people may still be unfamiliar with what the Tarot is. Simply put, they are a deck of cards traditionally being comprised of a total of seventy-eight (78) cards; twenty-two (22) “trumps” or “majors,” known as the major arcana, and fifty-six (56) cards in the minor arcana. The minor arcana is made up of four suits (typically: swords, cups, pentacles/coins, and wands/rods), each containing numbered cards ace (1) through ten (10) and four court cards (King, Queen, Knight, and Page).

Why and How Everything Loves You
“Life loves You.” The first time I heard the words "Life Loves You" was when I read the book by Louise Hay. Until then it was never so obvious to me. Deep within I knew the reason for everyone’s existence is LOVE, but it was never so obvious until I read this book.

'Nazar' - The Evil Eye
I was having a conversation with my cousin about a visiting relative that had brought such encompassing toxic energy into my home, as she herself was not in the right frame of mind. To my surprise the first thing my cousin said was once my visitor leaves my home, I should cleanse the energy around me.
