Tarot Reading for Saturday, June 30, 2012

The Star, crossed by Nine of Cups, flanked by Eight of Cups and Eight of Wands

Today will be another day that gives us an opportunity to work toward our dreams, what we feel we are destined to do. Today, this takes the shape of mentally gathering and recognizing our past successes and current stability. We are feeling much more confident and secure than we have been recently, and this will help as we move forward. Again, there is something we are walking away from. This could be a job, a living situation, a friendship or connection to another person, or even just a way of living and looking at things. We can't help but glance over our shoulders as we turn away, because this has served us well in the past, but we have outgrown it, or it no longer is able to help us in the way it once did, so walking away now is the thing to do. Connections will be made today, and things will begin to flow as the day moves on. Be sure to keep track of these connections and movements so that they continue to function in the way they need to.

Tarot Reading for Friday, June 29, 2012

The Star, crossed by The World, flanked by Five of Cups and Three of Cups

Today has some seriously huge potential for key actions and connections that can lead us on our individual ways to our ideals. Do not, under any circumstances pass up an opportunity today to connect or make progress towards your dreams, even if they seem far fetched. The fairy window has been left open today, so to speak, and this doesn't happen very often. Unfortunately, many of us are tied up in tired situations rife with compromise, and we have gotten to a place of acceptance in many cases. Listen carefully to this: there is never any point in one's life where you cannot change what is and move in a different direction. If you know in your heart that you desire more, go after it with all of your being. This doesn't mean you should trample others on your way or have no regard for consequences. It's all about timing. I repeat though, that if an opportunity presents itself today that may open a path to your ideal future, do what you can to take advantage.

Tarot Reading for Thursday, June 28, 2012

Eight of Cups, crossed by The Sun, flanked by Eight of Swords and Two of Swords

Many of us will be walking away from something today that no longer holds the pleasure it once brought us. This is hard to do, and there will likely be concern that we're actually making a premature decision, that there may be happiness left there, but really there isn't. There is a great amount of encouragement from a close friend on the issue, someone with whom you relate on a very intimate level. This has probably been a topic lately, and if you are having doubts about your decision, they should be the person to call. There is a feeling of entrapment and immobility connected to this situation. You've felt unable to walk away until very recently. Once the decision is made, and actions follow suit, there will be a movement from this feeling of immobility to one of finding balance and testing new techniques. Spend your time today focusing on what you need presently, and aligning your speech and movements with those goals.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, June 27, 2012

Nine of Swords, crossed by The Empress, flanked by Justice and King of Cups

We are still stuck in a pattern of worry and concern today over people we care about. In particular, our mothers and other women in our lives that we see as a huge influence over us. These women may appear regal and stable, but those who are close to them know that they simply keep their fragile soft side hidden at times, in order to appear a certain way to the world. There have been some major events lately, which seem justified or karmic, but still remain incomprehensible on some level. Sometimes that's just the way things go. Sometimes it's to our advantage, and others it seems like it's not. Be there for them if they need you, but don't get wrapped up in it. The best approach may be one of leading them to higher and broader thoughts of spirituality and love of humanity. They may be focusing too much on the small stuff, and need someone to open up their lens a bit more to see the world.

Tarot Reading for Tuesday, June 26, 2012

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

There are concerns about loved ones today, worry that they are not doing well or that we may end up in a similar position down the road. There is a particular concern with finances and organization. It's something that's being worked on, so hopefully it will improve soon. There will be some time spent in quiet reflection today, looking back on things that have been and working on quieting the nagging thoughts in our minds. At the end of the day, we do generally feel secure and that we have proven ourselves successful, and there is a recognition of this today; that things are really not as bad as they have seemed lately. Enjoy what you have now and be thankful for the many wonderful things you have been blessed with. Be proud of the road you have traveled.

Tarot Reading for Monday, June 25, 2012

Seven of Swords, crossed by Five of Cups, flanked by King of Pentacles and Two of Cups

We are envisioning the future we want for ourselves and setting about the plans and designs in our head, but currently we are stuck in a rut. It seems we've been running the same race for too long, and there is no longer a clear purpose or enjoyment to be gotten out of it. This is a good time to be thinking about creating positive change, just be sure that you follow through on it, rather than just using it as a temporary distraction from reality. This is likely in two areas currently: business and romantic relationships. There are a couple of people nearby who can help lend ideas and/or help facilitate the change you wish to see. One is more knowledgeable in the business and finance side of things, while the other may be a romantic interest or someone you trust to give this type of advice. Connect with these people today if possible. They will give you the nudge you need.

Tarot Reading for Sunday, June 24, 2012

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

We are still immersed in the process of making connections and communications today. Many of us have so many projects going on right now it seems hard to keep up, but somehow we have managed them quite well. This is enhanced by something we came across yesterday or very recently. This could be a new way of looking at things, a new tool, or a new connection. There is someone nearby who may be a huge help to us. This is someone who is very knowledgeable, considerate, and wise. They can give some great advice, so make sure you open your ears and your mind to what they have to say. There is a likelihood also of some uncomfortable and inconvenient disagreements today, especially with people you are very close to. Don't get too wrapped up in it, as it's not likely to be resolved today and it will be a huge distraction from other things, which are much more useful and productive.

Tarot reading for Saturday, June 23, 2012

Knight of Swords, crossed by Two of Wands, flanked by The High Priestess and Six of Swords

We're all likely feeling very brave today, even courageous, and currently this bravery is being tempered by maturity, responsibility, and wisdom. Ready to rush in, we are waiting for the right moment, which may very well present itself today. Keep your eyes open, and be careful about the timing. We are looking back on all the knowledge we've gained today, and remembering those who have helped us get there. There may be one or a few people that come to mind that are so knowledgeable, well respected, and wise that they appear almost regal. Remember what you've learned from them today, as their advice may very well come in handy. There is an opportunity for travel today, and even if it is spur of the moment and purely for pleasure, there will be a couple of extremely useful treasures that will be found if you venture out. These could be tangible objects, ideas, or connections with key people, which will come in very handy in the near future.

Tarot Reading for Friday, June 22, 2012

Eight of Pentacles, crossed by Five of Pentacles, flanked by Four of Swords and Wheel of Fortune

Many of us are learning, practicing, or helping another with a new skill. This is enjoyable and exciting, but there is also a huge distraction from a recent loss. This could be the loss of money, a friendship, or something else, and it is probably a passing feeling or phase, but it has us wrapped up in it right now, and it may hurt our abilities to concentrate. There have been many battles fought recently, and many of us are getting a chance to rest and relax today, but all the while, we feel there will be more trouble ahead. Just make the most of the break today. We'll need the energy later. There will likely be some unexpected events today, that may leave us bewildered and confused, similar to Wednesday, with The Wheel of Fortune in the same position. Again, remember going with the flow is often the easiest way to deal with these situations, and usually results in less anxiety.

Tarot Reading for Thursday, June 21, 2012

Two of Swords, crossed by Seven of Wands, flanked by Ace of Wands and Ten of Swords

Today, we are focusing on weighing our options, finding balance, and walking forward. There is a need to get things just right as we prepare for the future. Today, we are concentrating so much on moving into the future, we are not even glancing back at what has been. Right now, this is fine, as honestly many of us have been dwelling too much on the past lately. Recently, we've decided to release ourselves from much of it, and this will help greatly with our focus. There is an interesting mix of emotion today, moving from feeling stable, secure, even a feeling of over-abundance, then shifting to feeling like we have nothing and experiencing moments of extreme sadness. It must be the Solstice Sun playing tricks on us. Don't get too distracted by these mood shifts. Focus on what needs to be done and the rest will fall in place.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, June 20, 2012

Eight of Wands, crossed by The Fool, flanked by Nine of Wands and Wheel of Fortune

Another big day of communications and connections, and now we are making those connections finally in a brand new way. The first foot has set off on the journey, despite our fears, and despite others sometimes trying to hold us back from what they feel might be a mistake. Today, on the first leg of this journey, things will seem to be going very smoothly, although there is a feeling of paranoia that things won't work, or that someone else will take away what we've worked for. Don't let this stop you. It's totally natural to feel this way when we start something new. Today will be kind of a crazy day, with many ups and downs and unexpected events. Be prepared to go with the flow. It'll make for an easier and more enjoyable ride.

Tarot Reading for Tuesday, June 19, 2012

Page of Swords, crossed by Rejuvenation, flanked by King of Cups and Three of Cups

We will spend more time today practicing skills and learning new movements. This is aided by a great sense of release from the past. We have already moved forward in our minds, letting go of nagging ideas and feelings about the past, and so we will likely be able to better concentrate and will have a sense of renewal as we continue to develop our senses and abilities. There will be moments today when we are able to pause and reflect on higher ideals of learning, love, and philosophy. There may even be an opportunity to discuss these with someone who seems to have a good handle on them. We still feel like we are compromising, but there is a sense of peace about it currently as we look ahead to better things.

Tarot Reading for Monday, June 18, 2012

Six of Wands, crossed by Two of Pentacles, flanked by Nine of Swords and Nine of Pentacles

Today, we are remembering our past accomplishments and successes, and realizing how much progress we've made so far. This is complicated by a need to make a big decision, as far as which direction to move from here. This is a question that has been very prominent lately, and while it may seem some days that you've made up your mind, there is still a nagging need to delay the commitment, out of fear that another option would be preferable. Just remember: trust yourself, weigh your options, and most importantly make your decision and stick to it. There is a worry that we may disappoint our loved ones or end up in an undesirable position. Don't let this overwhelm you. You must do what you feel is best. There will be an opportunity to show off skills you've been working on lately. Take full advantage. There is a great opportunity to make good impressions.

Tarot Reading for Sunday, June 17, 2012

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

Appropriately many of us are thinking about and interacting with father figures today. Today, we view them as wise and caring, but we can't help but remember some unfortunate events, and that is tainting the view right now. As much as there is respect, there are also nagging issues causing us to dwell on imperfections. Try not to focus on this. It's totally unproductive. We're all human and we make mistakes. Many are reflecting on the parent/child, student/teacher relationship we've had with this person. Often the teacher learns as much as the student. There is a feeling of a loss of control today, as well as a need to exert control over things which we don't have the right to. Some things really just are out of our control, and we need to accept that. Don't dwell on it.

Tarot Reading for Saturday, June 16, 2012

Two of Cups, crossed by Eight of Wands, flanked by Nine of Cups and Justice

The focus today seems to be on relationships, particularly romantic ones. There will be a lot of opportunity for positive communication today, and things seem to be moving along smoothly, for the most part. There are many other projects going on as well, so just make sure to tend to those. It's very important right now to stay productive and not get too distracted. There is a sense of security and happiness today, as things seem to be moving along, finally. There will be a balancing and weighing of many things today. It may even feel like karma is working extra hard to keep the balance. Just take comfort in the fact that it is not your job to create balance. It takes care of itself.

Tarot Reading for Friday, June 15, 2012

Seven of Swords, crossed by Page of Swords, flanked by Two of Wands and Page of Cups


Today, we start working on some kind of new plan or design, and actually trying to figure out the details. We are all working on feeling out something new right now and developing appropriate skills and responses. Both of these things will combine to give us a brighter outlook on tomorrow. Don't forget your responsibilities today, though. Everything must still be tended to on a day-to-day basis. There may be a moment when you get a chance to meditate or simply tap into your quiet center. Take advantage of this, as we could all use some calming moments as of late. When things start to feel overwhelming, stop for a minute, breathe deeply and smile. Life is a wonderful gift.

Tarot Reading for Thursday, June 14, 2012

Page of Pentacles, crossed by Knight of Swords, flanked by Eight of Pentacles and Ten of Pentacles

There is a focus today on learning, particularly a new skill. There is a sense of rushing into something new, which is both exciting and a little scary. For now, focus on the learning aspect of this, even though you probably want to go out there and just start. Pick up a book, look for ideas on the net, start connecting with others who may be willing to share their knowledge with you. There may even be someone near you currently who would make a good teacher, or whom shares your desire to learn and could be a good practice partner. Do start now though, while the spark is hot. Something in this process could lead to a more stable and secure future, which has been weighing on all of our minds. The ideas for change have been formed recently. Now is the time to start taking action.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, June 13, 2012

Eight of Wands, crossed by The Star, flanked by Three of Pentacles and The Chariot

Today presents the opportunity to connect and communicate, and luck seems to be on our side. Even though many are in transition currently, we are starting to feel a forward progression, and are feeling a bit more optimistic about where this movement may lead us. There is almost a feeling of destiny or higher purpose associated with this new direction. Continue to practice the skills you will be required to prove in the near future. There is already a level of comfort and ability, but a dusting off tools and polishing of skills will be a great benefit. Even though we feel good about where the future is going, especially with new plans, there is still a fear that things will go out of our control. Regardless, the new direction is exciting, and today the feeling of moving in a new direction, albeit uncertain is much more comforting than where things seemed to be headed before.

Tarot Reading for Tuesday, June 12, 2012

Ace of Wands, crossed by Ten of Wands, flanked by The World and The Lovers

The creative juices are really flowing today, especially in regards to business ideas and alternative paths to success and stability. After working through yesterday's realization that old structures are crumbling to make way for new ones, many of us feel on top of the world today. I think most of us are looking at our present situations in the right light: an opportunity to work on our ideal futures and selves. Right now we do feel like we have some control over where things are headed. Take some time today to really let your creativity flow; write your ideas down, and maybe even get together with a few like-minded individuals for a good brainstorming session. Presently, or right around the corner, many of us feel a very strong and close bond with someone in particular who is very much like ourselves, a mirror in many ways. This is a great person to talk to about these ideas, and can potentially be a great help in realizing your visions for the future.

Tarot Reading for Monday, June 11, 2012

The Tower, crossed by Ten of Cups, flanked by Ace of Wands and Ten of Pentacles

Major things are breaking down right now, particularly in our homes and our sense of stability. We already know this is going on. There is no preventing it at this point. It may seem devastating right now, but things often have to break so that new things can come to be. Work on transforming this into a positive experience, as well as an opportunity for growth. Creative pursuits will be a great outlet for the flames of emotion that are pouring out. Also, turn to family and close friends. They will help you find the right perspective. Most importantly, do not view this as a defeat. It will defeat you to do this. This is an opportunity to start something over or move in a new direction. Things probably didn't feel right anyway. Find your strength, trust yourself, let your creative juices out, and plan a little get together with people you love.

Tarot Reading for Sunday, June 10, 2012

Page of Swords, crossed by The Lovers, flanked by Knight of Pentacles and Ace of Swords

The focus of today will be on learning a new landscape and new movements, particularly in relationships. We are feeling out and testing new ideas and methods today, in regards to our relation to others. This is particularly relevant with those we feel closest to; those who may know us better than we know ourselves. There has been a lot of work put into finances and organization lately. It's not the most exciting thing, but the sooner we get it in order, the sooner we can concentrate on the things we'd really like to: for most this means not thinking about finances and organization. There is a sense of things accomplished today. Many of us have been focusing too much on our losses and disappointments instead of our great accomplishments and growth. We have all fought many battles, and while some are lost, many are won. Remember those moments where you have used your wisdom and skills to come out on top and apply that to what is going on presently. Don't assume that your old methods will work best in the present situation though. Every situation is different, and as we grow, we must learn to adapt.

Tarot Reading for Saturday, June 9, 2012

Five of Cups, crossed by The High Priest, flanked by The Fool and Three of Wands

Many of us feel like we have been running around in circles for too long without going anywhere. The ruts we have created are becoming more bothersome and obvious. Much of this has to do with sticking to outdated ways of thinking, instead of trying a new path. Methods and philosophies work for a while, but it is wise to allow them to change when it becomes obvious that they don't suit us any longer. There has been a tendency as of late to take on new projects on a whim, sometimes against the advice of others. This is not necessarily a bad thing, and is often exciting. There are negotiations either being prepared for or going on presently. This may be the perfect opportunity to step out of the rut and start moving in a new direction. It is often a little scary to do this, and others may be somewhat skeptical or seem unsupportive, but do what feels right and you will feel better about it in the end.

Tarot Reading for Friday, June 8, 2012

King of Wands, crossed by Page of Wands, flanked by Queen of Cups and The Moon

Someone may be inspiring you today to pursue more knowledge in an interest of yours, likely in a more academic way than you have pursued it in the past. This person is someone you highly respect, as they are very wise and mature; they may even seem like a father figure to you. They definitely have your best interests in mind, so you should at least listen and let their advice sink in. Even if you don't follow it, it may give you insight into other ideas that would be good to follow through on. There is a lot of emotional nurturing going on right now. We have all been going through hard times, and many of us are fortunate enough to have someone or a group of people to listen and to let us know that we are loved. The Moon tells us to keep searching, that what we are looking for may just be over the next hill. If it is not, we must keep going. You may also want to keep one or a few of these pursuits close to your chest, as others may not be as approving as you'd like. It is important though, sometimes despite the perception of others, that we pursue what we hunger for.

Tarot Reading for Thursday, June 7, 2012

The Star, crossed by Temperance, flanked by The Empress and The High Priestess

Another big day, although the focus today is on dreams and ideals, on the future, and will take place mainly in our minds. We are thinking of our ideal selves, years from now and wondering if we can get there with our present efforts. There has been a real focus on moderation and patience, which is a great thing, but keep in mind that sometimes we can be a little to patient or relaxed to actually get where we want to go. There is currently a saturation of and a need for very feminine energy. Of this, there are two main types: the regal yet giving well-respected mother-leader (The Empress), and the wise, knowledgeable and often unemotional academic/spiritual woman (The High Priestess.) These types often work well together, and sometimes are even embodied in the same person. There are big movements that have been taking place recently, and this would be a great day to mentally and emotionally empower ourselves to work toward becoming what we truly desire to be.

Tarot Reading for Wednesday, June 6, 2012

The Moon, crossed by the Eight of Swords, flanked by The Chariot and The Lovers

Big things are on our minds today, as shown by all of the Major Arcana cards. Everyone is on the hunt right now, maybe for something specific, or just something new. Many feel trapped and helpless in their present position, and may even feel like they have been tricked into it. There has been a lot of movement recently, but it's been completely unpredictable. Ups and downs, feeling like we are being pulled along, out of our control have left many feeling out of control in their present position. To find some solace while all this chaos is going on, look to the person in your life that knows you better than you know yourself. They will be able to comfort you and possibly give you some ideas or direction. This could be a friend, parent, lover, etc. If you feel like you don't have access to this person right now, know you are in their thoughts and let that give you some comfort; think about what advice they might have for you if they were there.
