The tarot is a learning tool, far more than just a tool for doing readings. Many people get stuck when they are beginning to learn to read the tarot, thinking that they don’t know enough. Maybe they haven’t memorized all the meanings of all the cards, or perhaps they haven’t mastered the particular spread they’ve chosen to read with. They think they have to know everything there is to know about the tarot, before they can read for someone other than themselves.
Please don’t get stuck in this pitfall.
After 40 years of reading the tarot, I am still learning more about it every day, every time I use it. I started reading the cards for other people within days of getting my first deck. That’s not because I’m somebody special; it’s because I found the best way to learn the cards is by doing them.
Honestly, all you need to get started is your tarot deck, and one or two meanings for each card. Don’t be afraid to keep your guide book with you, and to consult it. That’s...
Hello Everyone,
Last month I talked about Pluto moving into Aquarius, and I promised that this month I’d give you my thoughts on what kinds of things I think Pluto will bring into all of our lives during the 19 years it will be moving through Aquarius. I also recommended that you keep a journal from March 24th, when Pluto first moves into Aquarius, and June 2nd, when it makes its first retrograde. During that time, you’ll be able to get a quick look into the types of things it will bring into your life over the next 19 years.
One of my favorite astrology resource books is Rex Bill’s “Rulership Book”. Essentially, this book is a simple list of things associated with each sign, and each planet in the zodiac.
Here is a list of some of the things Rex Bill associates with Aquarius. I believe these are many of the things we will see Pluto bringing its magic of transformation to during the next 19 or 20 years. In fact, we are already seeing many of these things being res...
Overview:.
March looks like an action packed and somewhat stressful month for us all, folks. Conversations can easily erupt into verbal arguments and threats of violence that are, thank God, unlikely to come to fruition. Everyone seems to be feeling vulnerable, and most of us are only looking at what we have to lose, when we should be looking at all the wonderful growth opportunities around us, especially in the areas of personal development and personal financial growth opportunities. Potentials for healing home, mother, and family issues are available to all this month. We just have to work together.
Here’s what’s happening for the Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius):
If you’re a Fire Sign person you may be feeling the need to travel, to move, and in all ways, to expand your horizons. This will be a good month to sort out your finances, and you may be surprised about some nice windfalls coming your way. If you choose to put your energy into changing or getting a job, develo...
Special #1
This month I am offering a reading/coaching special you won’t find on my website. It’s Finding Your Right Path. My Guides and I are offering it because we are seeing so many people who are confused, disillusioned, and in need of guidance about their future right now. The social, political, economic and financial events we are living through have taken their toll. Many people’s lives are in turmoil. Some lost family and friends, homes and jobs. Most have had their values, ethics and beliefs challenged. Now the world is moving towards a ‘new normal’. What will that be? There is fear and insecurity as we all move forward now. My clients are asking questions like, “Will I find a new job? If I can’t find the same type of work, what should I do, or, “Should I look for a home and a job in a different state or country? Would I be happy there? What about my family?” or “How will I pay my taxes? Will the IRS come after me?”, or “Will my loved ones and I remain heal...
You may already have chosen your tarot deck, and are enjoying it. Even if you have, I am sure you’ll pick up many pointers here, so continue to read or listen.
First, let’s talk about choosing your deck. A traditional deck has 78 cards in it, so stick with that. If you want to read with fewer cards, choose to read with just the minor arcana (56 cards) or the major arcana (22 cards). Together, they comprise the traditional 78 card deck. You can also read with a regular playing card deck of 52 cards and apply the traditional tarot card meanings to them, minus the four Pages. When you do that you are essentially reading the minor arcana - hearts are cups, spades are swords, clubs are wands and diamonds are pentacles.
Most traditional decks have pictures loosely based upon the Rider Waite deck, which was carefully researched in an attempt to regain the universal meanings of the first tarot decks, whose origins are lost in time and only open to conjecture nowadays. When y...
Hello Everyone,
On March 24th Pluto moves into Aquarius. In astrology, Pluto represents many things. Power, control, manipulation, transformation, and death are often associated with it; but perhaps the most important thing about it is that it represents the mass consciousness of the people.
Pluto has been in the sign Capricorn since January of 2008. It’s very slow moving and will move back and forth between the signs Capricorn and Aquarius between March 24th of 2023 and November 20th of 2024, before finally remaining in Aquarius, where it will stay until March of 2043.
My friends, please make yourself a journal of events, dreams, and desires that you experience in your life between when Pluto first moves into Aquarius on the 24th, and June 2nd , when it first retrogrades back towards Capricorn.
Whenever any planet moves into the first several degrees of the next sign it will be in, it gives you a little glimpse of what it’s going to bring into your life ...
Overview:.
February of 2023 is going to be a very interesting and important month. It will seem as if things in the world, and in your personal life, are moving forward more slowly than you would like them to. You will be dealing with many restraints and responsibilities. Partnerships and alliances are newly forming or are being revisited. Finances are likely going to be your primary concern throughout most of the month.
Here’s what’s happening for the Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius):
If you are a Fire Sign, you are going to be concerned with your financial situation, as well as with your work, talents, and career potential, all month long. You may feel as if the weight of the world is on your own shoulders. It will seem as if everyone is looking to you for guidance and direction. What an awesome time to learn and use your leadership skills! Please have patience with your friends, family members, associates, and life partner, if you have one, as no one will b...
When I teach tarot, inevitably my students ask, what if I want to use the cards to read for myself?
As with all divination tools, using the tarot to answer questions or even do complete readings on yourself is a touchy subject.
The reason for this is simple. Most of the time when you want to know about something that’s going on in your life, it’s because it’s emotionally important to you. And there’s the problem. As soon as your emotions become involved you tend to interpret the cards in a way that either gives you what you want, or if you are really fearful, expands your fears.
The best time to do a reading on yourself therefore, is when you’ve got nothing important going on in your life, so you’re able to be objective, just as you would be when reading for another person.
But of course, that’s not what you really want. You want the cards to give you answers when you need them. That means, your emotions are involved.
I generally caution my beginning s...
Hello Everyone,
I am writing this just after our new Speaker of the House was elected amidst much political maneuvering and 15 votes, here in the United States. I don’t think the results of this election came as much of a surprise to most of us, and now we wait to see what comes next. Will this bring about the changes everyone here in the US, indeed, all over the World, are wishing for?
My video of my webinar that I do once a year, “What’s Coming in 2023” has just become available for sale (it’s only $25), on my website. I encourage you to purchase it, because so far, it is right on point.
My Guides see us, here in the US, over the hump, but with a long way to go, towards political and economic reform.
That makes a lot of sense to me. As I was creating this month’s Astrological and Psychic Predictions, I saw the political maneuvering and behind the scenes control games continuing, because they have been the way the game was played for a very long time. But now...
