Tarot Reading for Thursday, October 11, 2012

The Moon, crossed by Three of Wands, flanked by Eight of Cups and King of Swords

Be wary of shady business deals. If something sounds too good to be true, the old saying especially applies today. Someone is willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want; don't let them take advantage of you. There has been an intentional walking away from a situation or mindset recently, and it has been very tempting to go back, but it is the same situation without a doubt. Nothing has changed. There is the opportunity for justice and rightness today, and also for selfishness and manipulation. Whatever the case, the person or people acting in the situation know what they are doing, so just be careful and keep your eye out.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, October 10, 2012

Knight of Pentacles, crossed by The Devil, flanked by The Moon and Queen of Pentacles

Many will be trying desperately to understand some financial complication today. This is frustrating because we probably already know the true source of the trouble, and are attached to it, even though it is not good for us. It's important to understand how this plays into our current situation and not try to pass it off and blame it on something else, as we are likely wanting to do. There has been a lot of searching going on lately, and maybe even some tricky situations or illusions. Whatever the case, if you haven't found what you've been looking for, keep going. Things don't just show up the moment we decide we want or need them. There will be the opportunity to discuss business with someone who knows their stuff later. If you take the time to talk and listen, there will be some real gems to take away, and possibly even a partner or sponsor.

Tarot Reading for Tuesday, October 9, 2012

Eight of Wands, crossed by Five of Cups, flanked by Nine of Cups and King of Wands

There will be a lot of movement and energy today. Things will seem to be going smoothly, and communications will come across clear. All this is great, but meanwhile there will also be a nagging feeling that this is all too routine. There isn't much thought that will go into doing things today, and that is not very exciting. There has been the opportunity lately to show off accomplishments and knowledge, and there is very much a sense of pride today as a result. It is likely that an interaction with someone who is very mature, wise and caring later in the day will help us to see things in a new light.

Tarot Reading for Monday, October 1, 2012

Ace of Pentacles, crossed by Wheel of Fortune, flanked by The Magician and Page of Pentacles

Today has the potential to be very significant, a day to remember. Many of us will be filled with happiness and a sense of security, as well as hope for the future. Today we are embracing the unexpected and seredipitous nature of life. There have been issues with control lately, and we may still be struggling with that a bit, or at least contemplating it. There will be the opportunity to learn something new later in the day, and to spend some time studying new ideas.

Tarot Reading for Saturday, September 29, 2012

Page of Pentacles, crossed by Five of Cups, flanked by Six of Cups and Ace of Swords

Many of us will be pursuing deeper knowledge of something that has sparked our interest lately. This may be something you studied years ago and are getting back into, or it may be something completely new to you. Regardless, this pursuit is helping to take you out of the rut you have been working on for quite a while. There has been a lot of nostalgia lately, and contemplating the path we have taken so far. By the end of today, we will all feel we have conquered something, and not just some small thing. Enjoy the moment and know that there will be more of this to come.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, September 26, 2012

Seven of Swords, crossed by King of Pentacles, flanked by Three of Swords and Nine of Pentacles

We have been worrying less and less about our pasts, and focusing more every day on the present and preparing for the future. This has landed us in a favorable position for business, and possibly even a partner or a few people to share ideas with or start a venture. There has been a sharp conflict between good friends lately, and while this may be complicating things a bit, it has helped to get us in our current position. We will likely have the opportunity to show off some skills we have been developing to some key people today. Don't be shy. Show off a little. They will be impressed.

Tarot Reading for Monday, September 24, 2012

King of Cups, crossed by The Chariot, flanked by Wheel of Fortune and Two of Cups

There is an interest today and an opportunity to explore higher concepts of love and happiness, such as can be found through philosophy, spirituality, and compassion for others. This, amidst a day that otherwise seems hectic and unpredictable. Lately there has been a pattern of unpredictableness, so it may just be that we have gotten used to going with the flow, but today's ride should feel smoother than it has lately. There is the opportunity for a new beginning or a refreshing interaction with a love interest later. Try to apply the understandings that came about earlier in the day to this interaction, and it will be even better.

Tarot Reading for Sunday, September 23, 2012

King of Wands, crossed by Page of Swords, flanked by Four of Cups and Four of Pentacles

There is someone nearby who has been helping you to figure out how to act and react in a new environment. This person is caring, experienced, and wise. It's good to practice on your own, but be sure to listen to what he/she has to say about it. They are making accurate and helpful observations. There has been some sadness and grief lately, mostly from attempting to make ourselves happy from false sources. Identify what those are to you and try to break that habit. Many will be feeling secretive, selfish, and a bit reclusive later. This may be simply due to some moodiness and hurt feelings. Don't take it personally if someone you are normally close to is somewhat standoffish.

Tarot Reading for Saturday, September 22, 2012

Eight of Pentacles, crossed by Wheel of Fortune, flanked by Four of Wands and The Emperor

Many will be focusing on the learning of a new skill today, likely through another person who is already adept. There will be some unexpected experience, idea, or dynamic that will come about as a result of time spent learning and practicing, likely with another. How you put this to use or whether you even notice it will determine what kind of influence it may have. There has been a desire lately to take time to enjoy your surroundings, especially outdoors. This rest was needed, but may have taken us away from some other important matters. There will be an interaction later with someone who knows business very well. He can lend some great ideas, if you are able to discern the key moments in conversation to listen closely.

Tarot Reading for Friday, September 21, 2012

Temperance, crossed by Justice, flanked by Eight of Swords and Three of Swords

There will be lessons today in moderation and patience. There will likely be consequences, negative or positive to recent tendencies to overdo things or to try and rush things. Many have felt trapped by their situations recently, and this may have led to some anxiety and impatience. This will likely lead to conflict or trouble later in the day, especially between close friends. There will likely be some stress as a result of these events; just remember to learn something and take away with you the lesson that is there.

Tarot Reading for Thursday, September 20, 2012

Ace of Wands, crossed by Ace of Cups, flanked by Nine of Cups and Eight of Wands

Today we will be at an apex of creation and elation for different reasons. The creative process, as we are working on projects or self-reinvention is definitely part of the happiness today will bring. It may be temporary, but it will be an unforgettable high. There has been some recognition recently, and this is also lending to the overall atmosphere of today. There are connections to be made, and today is a great day for networking and talking about ideas.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, September 19, 2012

The High Priestess, crossed by Death, flanked by Seven of Pentacles and Page of Pentacles

Today, the realization will come that what we thought was a depth of knowledge, either on a particular subject or on life or society in general is either incomplete or altogether false. We have seen the fruits of hard work recently, and while this is great and has filled us with pride, there is also the realization that there is much more to be learned if it is to keep growing. We will start looking today for new sources of information and connections with others who may be able to help in this quest.

Tarot Reading for Tuesday, September 18, 2012

The Magician, crossed by Three of Cups, flanked by Two of Pentacles and Seven of Wands

Many will be trying to control or manipulate situations or others on matters that are out of their control, as they should be. This is due to some compromising situation where they have decided they aren't happy with their end of the bargain anymore, and are trying to force it to be as they desire. There have been some big decisions made (or avoided) lately, and this has a lot to do with what is happening currently and is coming up. By the end of the day, you will be feeling better prepared to step into some new idea or way of being. Remember: those who desire control over others often use it as a distraction from the realization of how little control they have over themselves.

Tarot Reading for Monday, September 17, 2012

Two of Wands, crossed by Eight of Cups, flanked by The Chariot and Ace of Wands

Today is a great day to show others the level of experience and personal responsibility you have gained recently. Today, this will come in the form of purposely walking away from a situation that is no longer good for you. It will be hard not to look back at times, but just keep walking forward once you have made the decision to do so. There have been a lot of extreme ups and downs lately, as well as totally unexpected events. You probably felt like the world was taking you for a ride, but you have gained a lot from it. Later in the day, you will start putting your most recent experiences to use in the creation of something new.

Tarot Reading for Sunday, September 16, 2012

Three of Swords, crossed by Justice, flanked by Eight of Pentacles and King of Cups

There will be conflict today, but this is something that has been coming for a while, and many of us are already anticipating it. Things have been out of balance for a while, and it is likely that no attempt has been made towards achieving balance out of respect for the other. The dynamics of the relationship in question are like that of student and teacher, and each has a lot of respect and care for the other, and this will likely complicate the conflict, as well as making it emotionally hard for both parties. There will be a focus later on principles and personal philosophies, either alone or with someone whom you feel has a good handle on their own and may be able to help you sort things out. This will help put the events of today in perspective.

Tarot Reading for Saturday, September 15, 2012

Queen of Cups, crossed by Knight of Cups, flanked by Two of Wands and Four of Wands

Good things will come today; people are feeling especially happy and caring today, and want nothing more than to share it with others. This can create the kind of bliss we experience very rarely, where everyone is giving and benefiting simultaneously. There has been the opportunity to show our growth recently, and others have been impressed by the foundations we have set, and how we have handled ourselves. This also comes with a sense of pride and self-recognition, which is likely lending to the overall spirit of today. There will be the pull to indulge and relax a bit. I think we all deserve this right now, and should let ourselves give in to it. Just be aware of and prepared for the things that still need to be taken care of when the rest is over.

Tarot Reading for Friday, September 14, 2012

The Empress, crossed by Queen of Cups, flanked by Knight of Swords and Knight of Cups

There is a strong feminine presence about today, as many of us are thinking of female leaders, teachers, our mothers, friends, possibly lovers. There is an admiration for the combination of strong and soft qualities that embody the women we look up to. There has been a desire to rush after things; to be fearless and courageous in the face of our fears. There will be a great opportunity today for starting a new chapter in romance: many will find themselves strengthening the bond with their lover, many may start a new relationship. In whatever form, many will find themselves making a stronger commitment to the pursuit of happiness with another.

Tarot Reading for Thursday, September 13, 2012

Seven of Pentacles, crossed by Four of Swords, flanked by Six of Cups and Four of Wands

Many are finally seeing growth and fruition from endeavors we have been tending to for quite a while now. There has been a lot of work put into these things, and today we are getting a bit of a break, knowing that there is more work ahead. We have all been rather nostalgic lately, looking back on our pasts with that kind of understanding that only comes with time. There will be a pull to get outdoors later in the day, and to possibly indulge ourselves a bit. Enjoy this time and let yourself relax.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, September 12, 2012

Knight of Cups, crossed by The Tower, flanked by Ten of Swords and Two of Cups

There is the opportunity today for a new beginning in romance. This, while other things seem to be falling around our feet. Many are in a place of rebuilding currently, in starting over from the foundation in many aspects of their lives. There has been a lot of sadness, worry, even depression over what we feel are circumstances out of our control. It always seems easier to rebuild when you have someone else there to help you. Today may very well present the start to a new level of intimacy for us: either with a new interest or a strengthening or change in an already existing relationship.

Tarot Reading For Tuesday, September 11, 2012

Page of Pentacles, crossed by Five of Wands, flanked by Ten of Cups and The Moon

There will be a focus today on learning and academic pursuits. There is a need to absorb new knowledge on a subject, but this in fact can take us away from other important matters and could even cause a breakdown in communications. Recently, we have found new success and happiness, especially in our homes. This may be causing an overabundance of comfort, resulting in an aloofness in regards to certain things that really need to be tended to. There will be a hunt later. This may be a personal pursuit or it could be a group effort to find something or achieve something very specific. Be careful though, as the desire for this is so strong, there may be an impulse to "do whatever it takes," which can sometimes lead to using others as a means to an end.

Tarot Reading for Monday, September 10, 2012

Eight of Cups, crossed by Queen of Swords, flanked by Two of Wands and Seven of Cups

Many of us will be walking away from something that once brought us much happiness. This has been a big decision, and it hinges on the foresight that if we don't walk away now, we will likely end up bitter and resentful down the road. Lately, there has been a real focus on responsibilities, in order to create a stable foundation to be able to pursue other interests. We've all been doing fairly well, but there is still room for improvement. We will likely spend much of today fantasizing about what we want down the road. Some of these once "unattainable" goals may feel like they are closer to a real possibility today. It's good to dream; just remember that real world effort is required for any achievement.

Tarot Reading for Sunday, September 9, 2012

Death, crossed by Two of Cups, flanked by Knight of Wands and Ace of Wands

There will be a drastic change in many relationships centered around today. This will mean the end of some, a change in dynamics, or a new beginning for others. There have recently been some travelling into unfamiliar territories, and some of the things learned or seen while there is likely contributing to this transition. With it also comes the opportunity to refashion ourselves in yet another way. This last week, many of us have been distracted, but today is the day to get back into manifesting what we wish to be and where we wish to go from here.

Tarot Reading for Saturday, September 8, 2012

Many of us are still stuck in a sadness or feeling of loss today. It is currently interfering with our motivation, and especially hindering creativity, passions, and the progress we've been making towards self-reinvention. There has been a tendency lately to stick to patterns and habits that are no longer useful. You will know this for certain by the end of the day. You will go to some tried and true method of "fixing" things to find it is no longer there or functioning. I'm going to be very frank about today's reading: the things we are dwelling on right now are temporary and not as big of a deal as we are making them. This is a time of great transition, and if we all can't realize that and make those changes, things will not get better. There is a lot of potential right now. Don't waste it worrying about things that don't matter, and don't dare the world to hand you the same lessons over and over again. They get harder every time.

Tarot Reading for Friday, September 7, 2012

Queen of Cups, crossed by Justice, flanked by Seven of Cups and Two of Pentacles

Those who have shown a genuine capacity to care for others, and who have selfishly given over a long period of time will finally see some return for their compassion today. There will be a sense of rightness and a refreshing balance that will come about. Many of us have been fantasizing a lot lately about our futures. We are dreaming about them, and the things we want may be out of our reach, but it's good to reach higher than our current realities permit. If you want to get closer to them however, action is required at some point. This may involve a big decision that is currently weighing on us. Both options seem viable, but one is likely more attractive and feels right. The sooner you make the choice, the sooner you can progress.

Tarot Reading for Thursday, September 6, 2012

Six of Pentacles, crossed by The Empress, flanked by Page of Swords and Ten of Swords

There is still a focus on the dynamics of giving and taking in our lives currently. Some are giving too much and some are taking too much; some are likely doing a bit of both. This may be causing one or both parties to take on the stance of someone deserving of respect and admiration, whether that is the case or not, and is straining the relationship even further. There may even be demands that are coming up that were not agreed upon, but rather assumed by this person. We have all been working on feeling out new environments and/or mannerisms and reactions to situations. There has been progress, but there is still much more to learn. There will be more moments of sadness today, likely over personal matters. These can be a distraction from more important things. Recognize the emotion and let it out if necessary, but mind to what needs to be done regardless.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, September 5, 2012

Ten of Cups, crossed by Nine of Swords, flanked by Knight of Pentacles and Ten of Swords

Many are in a fairly comfortable place right now; we feel at home and are enjoying looking back on our past accomplishments. This is complicated however by worry about loved ones. Likely, we are looking at people we care about in their present positions and both hoping better for them and that we don't end up in a similar position down the road. There has been a focus on organization and more structure lately, which will make it easier to concentrate on other things. By the end of the day, many of us will have drawn ourselves into a sorrow, over present and past matters, loss, or struggle. It's totally fine to feel this way at times; just don't let yourself get stuck there for too long.

Tarot Reading for Tuesday, September 4, 2012

The Empress, crossed by The Moon, flanked by Seven of Wands and Ace of Swords

There will be a great feminine energy about today, which may lend a bit of insight, enhancing our pursuits currently. There is something that we have each been looking for, and that search will intensify today, possibly to the point of encouraging negative behaviors, such as using others to meet our ends. Recently, we have all been working on moving forward from our pasts. Of course the movement happens naturally, but sometimes we need to keep ourselves looking in the right direction and not glancing back. Just as in yesterday's reading, we are reminded that we will come out on top of our present situations. Keep doing what you know needs to be done.

Tarot Reading for Monday, September 3, 2012

Five of Swords, crossed by Nine of Wands, flanked by Three of Pentacles and Four of Cups

Many will be tempted to do things today that they will likely regret later, especially in business negotiations. In fact, you'll probably know going in that what you want to do or say is a bad idea, but will be compelled to do so anyway. Keep this in mind and try to hold back a bit today. Another time will come when you are in a better mindset. This may come as an offshoot to a boost of confidence we've had lately in our abilities. There is no doubt the abilities are there, but this is not the right time. By the end of the day, many of us will have worked ourselves into a sadness, from the lack of something that once brought us pleasure and happiness. The fact is it's not there anymore. It's OK to revisit, but don't dwell.

Tarot Reading for Sunday, September 2, 2012

The Star, crossed by Knight of Swords, flanked by Six of Pentacles and Ace of Wands

There is a sense today that things are unfolding as they are meant to, and that luck may finally be returning to our sides. This is creating a sense of bravery in many of us; we will find ourselves ready to rush towards the things we desire, and ready to challenge anything that stands in our way. Lately, there have been a lot of people who are caring for many around them. This has created some strains. By the end of the day, many will feel that they have come out on top, having won a battle or conquered some obstacle. There is likely more ahead, but this is a refreshing change from recent struggles.

Tarot Reading for Saturday, September 1, 2012

King of Swords, crossed by The Lovers, flanked by Page of Wands and Page of Pentacles

Many of us feel that we have mastered our abilities to handle conflict and matters of control recently, especially in romantic relationships and very close friendships. There may be a tendency still at times to struggle with issues of control, or to try and exert control where it is unnecessary, but overall things have much improved. There is an acquaintance who has helped us see things in a different light recently, and this is likely contributing to our personal improvements. There will be a desire later to research a topic, to read, or to explore ideas in order to gain some specific knowledge.

Tarot Reading for Friday, August 31, 2012

Ace of Wands, crossed by Three of Cups, flanked by Seven of Swords and The Devil

Many are working to manifest great things in their lives right now. This may be going slower than we'd like, due to some situations in which we must make compromises in order to keep the peace. Make sure you're not giving in too much, but remember also that these situations will require much less energy & thought if these compromises are maintained, for the moment at least. This will allow you to focus on more important matters. We have been working on designing the future we want for ourselves, but it has been merely in the planning stages until very recently, and large parts of it still may be. There is something in our lives currently that is not good for us, and yet we find ourselves pulled towards it constantly, like an addiction. Today this will be obvious. Recognize it for what it is, especially the negative impact it has on you. This will help you towards eventually breaking free or at least taming its influence over you.

Tarot Reading for Thursday, August 30, 2012

The High Priest, crossed by Five of Wands, flanked by Two of Swords and The Chariot

Many are determined to stick to old and outdated ways of doing things today, which can actually create some major complications. Traditional wisdom, knowledge, and methods are great resources to go to, but they often must be modified to bring them current. If something doesn't feel quite right, look for a better way, and don't be afraid to tell someone that their ways are not working. Recently, we have all been working on balance and testing new skills, especially in conflict, including conflict within the self as well as with others. Today may be a good time to test our progress. Overall, there will be many ups and downs and surprises. We may feel like the day is taking us for a ride. Hang on and try to enjoy it.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, August 29, 2012

Eight of Pentacles, crossed by Death, flanked by The Moon and Justice

The skill learning that many have been focusing on, along with the student/teacher relationship that is involved is helping to cause a major transformation of the self. This is likely to take the form of letting ideas or patterns that are no longer useful die off, so we can make room for better ones. Many feel like they have been manipulated or deceived lately, that others have seen and used them as the means to a selfish end. With all of the Major Arcana in this reading, it's no small deal. Don't worry though, justice and karma are right around the corner currently, and we will likely see these situations correct themselves sooner than usual. Focus on the need for balance, not on the desire for revenge and all will be well.

Tarot Reading for Tuesday, August 28, 2012

King of Cups, crossed by Rejuvenation, flanked by Knight of Pentacles and Five of Wands

There is a real focus today on personal philosophies and matters of the heart. Many feel currently that they are entering a new and brighter self, and are feeling a huge sense of refreshment and surge of energy as they come into this. Many of the things we have held onto from the past are finally being let go, and this is a large part of the overall personal transformation. Lately there has been a focus on organization, gathering information and making sure things run smoothly. Be careful that you don't take on too many complicated endeavors today. It may be hard to avoid, but it is likely that something will fall through from juggling too many projects. Don't worry though, you'll have time to figure it out later.

Tarot Reading for Monday, August 27, 2012

Justice, crossed by Ten of Wands, flanked by Eight of Pentacles and The Moon

Today is a great day for balance and the righting of wrongs, especially in matters of business. There may be an impulse to try and correct situations for yourself, which is sometimes necessary or beneficial, but isn't always wise. These things usually work themselves out one way or another. There has been concentration on learning or teaching a skill, and specifically on the dynamics between teacher and student. In an ideal situation, both will walk away with new knowledge. Be wary today; there is fertile ground for manipulation and misleading thoughts or actions. Many are on the hunt right now for something very specific and may resort to unsavory means of attainment.

Tarot Reading for Sunday, August 26, 2012

Knight of Wands, crossed by Temperance, flanked by The Chariot and Knight of Cups

Today is favorable for travel, and will be a good day for seeking out ideas and opportunities. There is a practice towards moderation and patience today, and this can help you focus, but if taken too seriously can also cause you to miss what you are looking for. There will be many ups and downs and unexpected twists today. It is also a good day for a physical move for those who may be doing that today. There will be the opportunity for romance or other emotionally fulfilling and pleasing matters, and you won't be able to miss it when it presents itself.

Tarot Reading for Saturday, August 25, 2012

King of Swords, crossed by Knight of Swords, flanked by Eight of Wands and Six of Swords

There is someone currently who is asserting control, either because this is what they are used to doing, or they are trying to come out on top of a situation and see this as the only way to go. There is a sense of rushing into battle courageously, if not a little prematurely. Be very careful in any confrontations of this manner. It's good to stand your ground, but don't cross any boundaries. There has recently been a lot of activity and communications, and things have been going fairly smoothly as of late. There is a worry that things may become more complicated soon, but don't worry about that too much right now. There is again the opportunity for positive travel and business endeavors today. Be sure to keep your eyes and ears open to valuable things to be found along the way.

Tarot Reading for Friday, August 24, 2012

Ace of Swords, crossed by Two of Pentacles, flanked by Knight of Cups and Seven of Swords

Many feel today as if they have won a major battle or conquered a formidable obstacle. This is a great feeling, and you should let yourself acknowledge it. There is however still a major decision to be made, one that you have likely been avoiding. Don't let this temporary conquest distract you from the larger picture of what has yet to be done. There has also recently been opportunity for romance, and this is also very enticing. In fact, it may be popping up all over the place right now. We are focusing today on designing the future we wish to have. Currently it is very much in the designing phase, so really take the time to think about what you want and how to arrange the pieces so they might fit together.

Tarot Reading for Thursday, August 23, 2012

Today we are focusing on the things that have made us feel happy and successful. Many have been stretching themselves to take care of others. This has been hard for everyone involved, and no matter which end of this you are on, you are looking for a way to end it or at least lessen its burden. As we look back on recent events, it seems like key events over the last few months have been absolutely crucial to moving us towards our ideal selves. We will be focusing on those moments, and how the whole world feels right when things are coming together. There is an opportunity for travel today or a business endeavor. Whatever it may be, be sure to keep your eyes open as you venture out. There are treasures hidden along the way.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, August 22, 2012

King of Wands, crossed by King of Cups, flanked by The Magician and Five of Pentacles

There is a clashing of ideas and values currently. This is likely coming in the form of the desired paths or advice from two different but respected parties. One focuses on knowledge gained from both traditional learning and experience, while the other focuses more on principles and personal philosophies. Both have good intentions and have great ideas, but are coming at it from different angles. Recently, there have been struggles with power and manipulation, and this may be playing into the confusion and chaos of this unnecessary conflict. Many will be struggling with feelings of loss today, which may also present a barrier towards moving in the right direction, at least at the moment. It is a small loss, but it seems big right now. Take in all perspectives on important matters, but remember: at the end of the day or week or year, you must do what feels right to yourself and not worry so much about whether others approve.

Tarot Reading for Tuesday, August 21, 2012

Six of Pentacles, crossed by Ten of Cups, flanked by Strength and King of Swords

Many are feeling the strain of doing too much for too many people today. This, despite the fact that doing so makes them feel happy and strangely secure. There have been many obstacles lately, and this may simply be enhancing or calling attention to that strain presently, although there has recently been a lot of positive and strong character building within these obstacles as well. There may be an issue with authority today of some sort, or a struggle with control. It's always easiest to let those who want control to have it, especially those who are used to it. You just have to decide those times when it's worth fighting for, and that changes on a case by case basis.

Tarot Reading for Monday, August 20, 2012

Ace of Wands, crossed by Seven of Cups, flanked by Seven of Wands and Page of Wands

Many will find themselves in a frenzy of passion and creativity today. There is something we are working on that is very dear to us, and right now we will find the energy and inspiration to really pour ourselves into it. This is closely tied to our dreams, our ideals that may or may not be even possible, but reaching for them makes us feel alive and empowered. Recently, we have really worked to stop questioning the path we have taken so far and are concentrating on where we are headed. An acquaintance will shed some light on a confusing situation today, and may lend some key ideas to help you work through it.

Tarot Reading for Sunday, August 19, 2012

Seven of Wands, crossed by King of Cups, flanked by Knight of Pentacles and Four of Wands

Today is all about moving forward, without looking back. This is largely due to some examination of our personal thoughts and philosophies and how they affect us. Too often, when we look back we ask ourselves the dreaded "what if" questions that drive us crazy. This forward motion is all about accepting your decisions, your visions, your current position, and finding the direction you wish to walk in from here. There has been a lot of organizing lately: especially of finances, which will help a great deal in reducing anxiety. If you can work the routine things out so that you barely have to think about them, then this gives you more time to concentrate on what is important, and you'll feel better about it as well. There will be time today for rest, especially out in nature. Take advantage, but do so without neglecting other important matters.

Tarot Reading for Friday, August 17, 2012

Ten of Wands, crossed by The High Priest, flanked by Four of Pentacles and Page of Cups

Someone who has done very well for themselves in business is currently trying to convince you to do things their way. Their methods have worked very well for them, and so there is a strong conviction that this is what you must do. Here's the thing though: some of their methods are outdated and no longer useful, or do not suit you. Listen to them, and do not disrespect them, for they are sensitive to this, but only take the parts of their advice you personally find useful. Don't let them talk you into believing they have a magic formula. No such thing exists. There has been a tendency lately to be a little secretive and even selfish. Many will find themselves withdrawing a bit from others out of fear or insecurity. This will in fact turn out to be a very beneficial experience, as it will draw you to a very calm, almost meditative state, where you can sort your thoughts and come out strong and ready to face what comes next.

Tarot Reading for Thursday, August 16, 2012

The Fool, crossed by Three of Swords, flanked by The Tower and Page of Wands

Many will start something new today, despite the fact that others may not be as optimistic about the endeavor as you are. This has either been sparked by a current disagreement between friends, or is currently being complicated by this conflict. There have been many major breakdowns recently, and everything at times seems to be falling apart. This is actually the best time to try and start something new, when what was working before has fallen apart and we are left on the ground floor with building blocks and hope. There is someone nearby, an acquaintance, whom you probably don't know very well, but they seem to possess that kind of youthful wisdom that doesn't even usually recognize itself. They will be able to give you some insight or unexpected advice that can be a huge help in moving in the right direction. Be sure to keep your ears and your eyes open today.

Temporary Vacation

I apologize, but due to unforeseen circumstances, this blog is on a temporary vacation. I should have it up and running again in a day or two. Thank you to my loyal readers for your patience.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, August 8, 2012

Today's focus will be catching up on many projects, which are starting to slip, and doing so while remaining calm and peaceful, despite the touch of chaos that these things seem to have right now. Remember to keep a clear head as you go about your day, and if things get overwhelming, give yourself a few minutes to relax, even though there is a lot to take on and it may seem impossible to keep up. Expect the unexpected today especially, as there will be a lot of movement which at times will seem completely out of control and unpredictable. There is also a great opportunity to connect or communicate with a love interest today, and to deepen the bond that already exists.

Tarot Reading for Monday, August 6, 2012

Two of Cups, crossed by Five of Wands, flanked by The Chariot and Page of Cups

Things are going to be fairly hectic today, especially in the realm of romance. The issue doesn't necessarily lie within the dynamics of the relationship so much as it does with the volume of projects and responsibilities of at least one party. Many are finding it hard to keep up on the basic tasks they need to pay attention to every day, and so this is putting strain on relationships. There will be lots of ups and downs today, as well as unexpected surprises. It is a good day for relocation or travel. Make sure you spend some time relaxing and allowing your thoughts to process and calm today. With all the changes taking place right now, it's good to make this a regular habit.

Tarot Reading for Sunday, August 5, 2012

Ten of Wands, crossed by Six of Swords, flanked by Ace of Cups

Today is a good day for business and travel, particularly if they go together. There is a stable foundation of knowledge to draw on, and key ideas or people are likely to come across your path in these endeavors today. Keep your eye out for them, but don't be surprised if they are not exactly what you thought you would find. Many will have a tendency to escape today, through tried and true means of synthetic happiness. That's not to say the joy brought out won't be good or useful, but happiness is more likely to come today in the form of escapism: entertainment, inebriation, socialization. In fact, this is something we all presently need right now. Just remember to return to reality on a regular basis. There is a great opportunity today to connect with someone who can lend great business ideas and/or possibly finance a business endeavor. Make sure you follow through on the connection.

Tarot Reading for Saturday, August 4, 2o12

Two of Cups, crossed by Four of Cups, flanked by Two of Wands and Queen of Cups

Our thoughts will revolve around love interests and relationships today, and although things seem to be overall positive, one or more of the parties are experiencing a hard time emotionally. This could be due to circumstances totally unrelated, but they are feeling it pretty hard today. On the other hand, there is a great sense of maturity and responsibility today as we go about our tasks. Even though things may seem far from perfect currently, there is a drive to fulfill our individual duties with calmness and determination. There is a great sense of compassion today for others, even though we may be suffering ourselves. No matter the present dynamics, there is an impulse to give fully, to nurture, and to care deeply for those around us. Many are in need of this presently, and we can all greatly benefit from such a drive.

Tarot Reading for Friday, August 3, 2012

Six of Swords, crossed by Six of Cups, flanked by Justice and Ten of Cups

We are looking back on past accomplishments with pride and nostalgia today. Despite our present positions, there have been many achievements in the past, brought with hard work and a clear head. There is a worry that those days are behind us, but it is really only a personal concern, brought about by present circumstances. Remember and try to feel the drive and hope you had as you were working towards these goals. Get yourself back there. There have been many events recently that have returned balance, in a karmic sense, and today is no exception. Don't be surprised if things happen that seem a little more than coincidental. Overall, at the end of the day, most of us will feel pleased and proud of our current situation, finding the bits of happiness and success that are most treasured, along with the good company we have been blessed with along the way.
