Queen of Cups

Posted on

Today’s card is the Queen of Cups. Of any of the cards she embodies empathy. How many empaths do I have out there? Raise your hands.

As an empath myself, I know that we pick up on feelings. In most cases this can be a great thing if you are a healer, an artist, a politician. As Chris Cornell once sang, “Reach down and pick the crowd up.”

But, if we aren’t careful, if we don’t ground ourselves or get ample time alone we start taking on the characteristics of those around us. The Queen of Cups with her empathy can put herself in another’s shoes even if it’s to her detriment.

Today I would like you to feel these emotions. I want you to focus on yourself though, as scary as it might seem. All too often we don’t even know our own emotions because we are so focused on others.

When I do Reiki on clients I am careful to ground myself first. Too many times in my past I’ve taken on their emotions only to question myself later, asking, “Is this mine? Or is this someone else’s?”

So, again. Feel your feelings. Give yourself some alone time, so at the very least you know these are yours and not something you picked up along your path.

Peace!

The Ten of Wands

Posted on

Hey! What’s the good word? Today’s card is the Ten of Wands. Oppression.

What a heavy word, but don’t let it weigh you down because this is a sign for you to lighten your load. I say this as I look at a huge pile of stuff here in the condo. Sorting through it is going to be a bitch. When I look at it all, I get overwhelmed and just want to pretend it’s not there.

This is a metaphor for the 10 of Wands. We have a hard time saying no so we keep piling our plate higher and higher. Why do you think we don’t say like to say no? Fear of rejection? Fear of not having enough? Probably both of these. But being aware of these you can take the steps towards changing it.

Yesterday I was hanging out with two very powerful friends. Ideas were popping out of our heads left and right. Manifestation was in the air. There was no fear or expectations, no oppression whatsoever. We were like little kids playing and creating.

Surround yourself with like minded souls and you will watch your world change right before your eyes, then you will see this oppression that you’ve created for yourself disappear.

Go create something awesome!

Peace!

The Sun

Posted on

Today’s card is The Sun.

The Sun rises and sets every day. When it rises, we smile. When it sets, we smile. Why do we smile when it sets? Because when it sets it is just as beautiful as when it rises.

When things begin and end (which is inevitable), we can either look at the ending in sorrow or we can look at it as a new beginning… the in between is what counts. Beginnings are always full of life, hopeful, we fall in love. With endings, we tend to look at them with sorrow… with pain.

Instead, I choose to look at the endings with a hopeful zest for the new beginnings, for new adventures and mysteries that I can’t even dream of yet. I embrace the unknown.

How will you look at your sunsets?

Peace!

Eight of Pentacles

Posted on

Today’s card is the 8 of Pentacles. It’s a card that teaches us prudence.

When the Beatles wrote the song ‘Dear Prudence’ were they really singing about a girl? Or were they secretly telling us to use our common sense, our judgement, and to not be so damn serious about doing so? I like to believe this. ‘Dear Prudence won’t you come out to play’

When we go through transition to a new beginning we can feel the pressure of having to organize, complete, reassess everything. We can become overwhelmed by it all because we want to get it all done NOW!

If we relax, breathe, and accept that if we focus everything will get done in due time. Forcing it will not make it happen any quicker, it will just stress us out more.

So, on a day like today, sit down, write out a plan of what you want to do. Organize it in your head if you can, then take the baby steps of moving forward. It will get done.

Peace!

New Moon in Gemini

Posted on

Today’s card is The Moon.

I’ve said this hundreds of times and I’ll say it again.

There are no coincidences!

Today is also the new moon in Gemini. Gemini’s are the twins, they are playful and tell us to not take everything so seriously. They know that you have to have dark to experience light, just like sunrise is followed by sunset. Things begin and then they end. The moon shows us in physical form the rising and ebbing of the tides.

When we take life too seriously we are usually doing so because the people around us are doing the same. Somehow we equate being serious to being responsible. That’s malarkey! Who started this trend of ‘have to’s’ in our world? We don’t ‘have to’ do anything, but we do ‘get to’ do what we want. Try that on for size… seriously (pun intended), take a breath… how do these different statements feel? Not sound, feel! Have to or Get to?

Today you get to do things that make you feel good. You get to go to work to make a little cash that will afford you the opportunity to travel, or buy some nutritious food, or give to someone who can’t afford these luxuries. You get to walk out in the sunshine and as @infinitewaters says, “Take in that good ass Prana, baby!”

You get to share your authentic self with every person you encounter and send them good vibes that they in turn will share with another, and then another, and another (you get the picture).

With this new moon create this new vision of you. A brand new start where you get to be you.

Peace!

What do you live for?

Posted on

What do you live for?

Today’s card is the High Priestess. She has the secrets of the underworld and of the physical world. She is telling us to not just see something with our eyes, but see things with all of our senses, with our gut. Look at a plant and just don’t see an object that you know as an image that you’ve learned in a book. Look at it with your heart, with you nose, touch… connect with it.

Today we are following the path that we’ve been following for the last month. We are looking at everything anew. We are sitting alone and ‘listening’.

We don’t realize how powerful we are. Everything that has been created on this planet by man has come from the imagination. The ones that tap into source are the ones that create, it just comes to them in their sleep, in their dreams, because they are focused.

Are you focused? Are you focused on your dreams? Or are they somewhere out there, unattainable from your grasp? Why do you believe they are unattainable? Why do you believe that somebody ‘better’ can attain this but you can not? These are questions we must ask ourselves.

Sit still. Focus on your breath. Listen. Let your intuition guide you. Be the God or Goddess you were born to be.

Peace!
