Eight of Pentacles

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

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?

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!

The Five of Cups

Today’s card is the 5 of Cups.

The 5 of Cups talks about loss. There are no coincidences because I have recently lost. Being single again is strange, but I’m fortunate to have good friends who have reached out to me. .
There is always a lesson when change comes along. It’s recognizing the role that we played, either good or not so good, it doesn’t matter. What matters is this; what did we learn? How can it help others? Can we pinpoint our error so as to not repeat it again?

The 5 of Cups also represents the 5 stages of grieving; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. It is imperative that we recognize each step and honor each one. Do your best not to run away from them because you will just repeat it in the future. With each step spend time alone. Analyze each step, write down what you are feelings, and be honest with yourself. If you need to console with others, then do it only for growth, not for pity. Once you reach the acceptance step, congratulate yourself for going what you went through, put it on the shelf and only look at it as a reference, nothing more.

Life is a series of lessons, and as I quoted Sadhguru yesterday…

I am condemned to die a failure. But, I’m a blissful failure.

Embrace your failures. Embrace your triumphs. Embrace yourself.

Peace!

I Offer My Power in the Service of Love.

Today’s card is the 4 of Pentacles.

Stability, security. But on the dark side it can be the fear of loss. Fear of change.

Although I know that change is an ever present, ever constant reality, I find myself still fighting it. Last night I barely slept because of this fear. I hunkered down in my favorite escape pose and numbed myself, all the while ‘knowing’ this was escapism. Part of the human experience is just that, it’s an experience. If we can’t experience dark, we wouldn’t know light. If we didn’t know pain, we wouldn’t know pleasure, etc.

The universe has a way of making us look at our demons. No matter what, we will have to face them sooner or later.
.
Yesterday I talked about loving yourself and others, and that loving yourself was imperative first before you can truly love another.

Today, look in the mirror and tell yourself you love you. Look in your eyes. Look at your flaws that you’ve tried to hide from yourself and others. Get raw, get dirty. Fuck it. Hide nothing. What do you have to lose but your true self?

Face the seemingly ugly truth that you are indeed flawed and that if others don’t like your flaws it might just mean that they don’t like theirs either. Life is a mirror. What we see is what we get. Once you see the beauty within yourself that is what you will see outside of yourself.

Peace!

The Empress

Today’s card is the Empress. It’s about unconditional love. Of others and of self.

I have a confession and possibly a lesson for you all. Recently, within the last month, another relationship has ended with me. So many relationships that I have had have ended the same way, with the other person hurt, feeling rejected. The role that I have played in these relationships was never meant to harm, but always turned out that way.

You see, when you lack love for yourself it eventually projects itself out on others as it has recently for myself.

What do we do when this happens?

It’s imperative for us to do the work! Go within! Find the root of the suffering and heal it. Nobody but yourself can do this. I was mistaken to think that being alone for 5 years would solve this problem, but it hasn’t. The work must continue no matter how long.

Please don’t pity me. This isn’t a cry for help. It’s just another lesson on this planet of lessons.

If you are suffering, reach out. Talk to somebody. Just keep a distance from the pity party.

Please visit my website in the link on my profile or keep me here on Instagram as I have left Facebook for a little while.

Peace!
