Card of the Week (May 27 - June 1)

Artwork: Ciro Marchetti

For this week, I thought I'd go back to my primary deck, the Gilded Tarot. The card that came up is the Seven of Wands reversed.
This week you might be a little more vulnerable to criticism. You might feel tired of constantly having to compete against others, or that you are always comparing yourself to others. Your family or friends might be giving you some grief on why you are doing certain things, and you don't want to hear is at it doesn't make your situation any better.
The Seven of Wands can also indicate avoiding conflict and giving in too easy, since you'd rather just have people like you then have to argue all the time. However, be aware of getting caught unprepared while those defenses are down!
Perhaps you're realizing something you've been giving your best shot at for a while isn't really worth the struggle, and are thinking of letting it go and moving on.
On the opposite spectrum, this card can mean that you are overprotective of your actions and beliefs and are quick to jump to the defense even when you're not really being threatened.
If you're not feeling too confident this week, focus on learning and developing new skills, or working on bettering things you're having a hard time with.  It'll help you restore some of your confidence so you're ready to get back in the game.  And don't forget to have some fun and enjoy yourself in the process!

Tarot Card of the Day

Happy Saturday!  For today I will again use my Ramses- Tarot of Eternity deck. I drew the Nine of  Pentacles..!
Which is quite fitting for the long memorial day weekend as it represents leisure and enjoying the finer things in life. 
This card can also be about discipline and control. By showing restraint and sticking to a program, the couple in the picture has been able to enjoy the fruits of their labor and investments. 
As pentacles represent assets and finances, the Nine of Pentacles can indicate monetary gain and profits from past investments.  So if you have been playing your cards right, expect a nice return! And when you do receive it if you haven't already, don't be afraid to treat yourself or your loved ones to something nice.

Happy Friday!
Since I love working with different types of cards, for today I decided to shuffle and draw a card from one of my other less-used decks, Ramses-Tarot of Eternity. I drew Judgement.
Here we see Moses parting the Red Sea for the exodus of Israelites freed from slavery from Egypt. A day/time of reckoning. This card gives a sense of release.. which is appropriate for a Friday where most of us get to be released from our jobs to the freedom of the weekend! Other aspects of this card are renewal, birth, awakening, and recovery. Awakening in the sense of hearing a call to action as Moses did, and recognizing your true vocation.
If you or someone else have been having trouble making an important decision for a while, this card lets you know a decision will be reached, or that it's time to get off the fence and choose!
Judgement can also represent taking a stand - for your beliefs, against oppression, or for someone less able to defend themselves such as animals or the Earth.  Today the cards ask us not to be afraid to assert ourselves, and remind us to help others and protect the Earth and all the creatures that live on it.

Tarot card of the week (May12-18th)

Ah the Empress, the life-giving Mother who reigns over the bounty of nature and the rhythms of the Earth.  At the most basic level, she is the epitome of love, and the birth of life resulting from that love.  From her comes all the pleasures and joys of the senses and the abundance of new life in all its forms.  Appreciate the beauty around you, and spend time outdoors this week.  Realize the abundance there is to be had, and appreciate how rich you truly are to have all that you do.
An appropriate card to get post Mother's day, as she represents mothering and the aspects of femininity - beauty, sensuality, fertility, creative expression, and nurturing.  Treat yourself to a massage at the spa, have dinner at a nice restaurant, and spend time with your significant other. Discover new ways to express your creativity like through painting, dancing, music, drama, or other art forms.
The Empress can also indicate pregnancy, or the birth of a child or new idea.. so if you've been trying to conceive (whether it be a child or a new project/idea) it's prime time for it to happen! 

Are you an Earth Angel?

An Earth Angel is someone who feels different from others.  Lots of times they are teased for it.  They might even wonder when someone will pick them up and take them home.  They don't like being around harsh energy and are often described as being very or too sensitive.  Often also referred to as Lightworkers, Indigos, or Crystals, they are incarnated in this lifetime to help make the world a better place and bring about peace and love and lift the vibrational frequency of the earth.
Earth Angels can come from various different types of realms, or vibrational frequency locations.  The realms tell us where we have been since our initial inception as a divine spark of light by the Creator.
I am very excited to report that I am now an...

 ....and can help you decipher which realm you belong to, and help you learn more about your realm. This is a new thing being offered on Earth for the first time ever!

What can you discover in a Realm reading?
-the physical characteristics of people belonging to your realm.
-the life mission - personal and global - of your realm.
-relationship patterns of individuals within your realm.

If you've ever done anything with astrology or like to read your horoscope, I'm sure you'll enjoy a Realm Reading.  Please contact me if you are interested in a realm reading.  I can also incorporate realms into tarot card readings.

Angel Card Message of the Day

So what do the Angels want us to know today?  To listen to our bodies! We are always receiving divine messages even when we're not noticing them. Your body responds physically and emotionally to energies and situations around you.  Notice how your body reacts to people and situations.  Do you light up, relax, or feel yourself tense up when a certain someone you know walks in the room? Do you get a sinking feeling when you hear the phone ring?  Do you feel content and energized or inspired while doing your job at work, or does the thought of it fill you with dread? 

Trust your body's truthful wisdom, and act accordingly. It will tell you which path you should ultimately take to be in line with your divine purpose.

Card of the week (May 4- May 10)

The theme for this week is balance - physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual.  Temperance reminds us to have patience and tolerance.  Maintaining our center and sense of self when circumstances around us are changing is sometimes easier said than done! Fortunately it should be easy to foster cooperation from others this week.
If you have been in disagreement with a love interest, spouse, friend, family member, or coworker, chances are you will find middle ground with them and reach a compromise.
Temperance also draws our attention to our health. Eating a well balanced diet and getting exercise is crucial to maintaining vitality and vigor. If you've been postponing that checkup visit with your doctor, it's better to schedule an appointment late than never. Most insurances cover annual physicals and well-women visits, so there's no reason not to use the benefits you or your employer have been paying for.

Angel Card of the Day

It's Angel Thursday, so here is the Angel card message of the day!

Doreen Virtue Angel Therapy Card

Chakras are energy centers throughout our body in which energy flows through.  They are often also referred to as spiritual centers.  The crown chakra is located at the top of the head, and it is where our ability to connect to our spirit and spiritually resides.  It is associated with the colors violet and white.  Along with the third eye, it is one of the few centers we receive divine guidance and messages from.

You can call upon Archangel Uriel, the angel of Divine wisdom and knowledge, to help you clear and balance your crown chakra and help you boost your faith and belief in the messages that come to you and ideas you receive.

Wearing a clear quartz crystal can also help open up and bring the crown chakra into balance.
This site also has some good ideas on how to take care of your crown chakra.
