HAPPY HUMP DAY, EVERYONE!

We are speaking our truth this week – not easy but it must be done – and we cannot be worried about how it is received. Let’s look at the cards.

1. Communication: Two of Air – Integration
2. Do this: XIV Self – Acceptance
3. Not that: XVIII Thought – Negativity

Keeping an eye on the big picture is crucial this week; it will require an open mind, and a positive outlook. This is not a time for self-doubt or recriminations – know who you are, put your best foot forward, and do not look back. Negativity need not apply; keep it positive, in your head or out of your mouth – you are creating your world with every word!

SADDLE UP!

Places to go and things to do this week – no time to dawdle!

1. Take Action / Move in a Direction: Four of Fire – Focus
2. Do this: Ten of Fire – Act
3. Not that: Eight of Air – Ego

Pay attention this week! Make a list, check it twice, and get to work! We must be both willing and prepared to get things done, focused and determined. Whatever it is you have going on, GET AFTER IT!

WARNING: Ego lies! A healthy ego serve you, not the other way around. Do not allow ego to get in the way.

HAPPY MONDAY!

Spring has fully sprung in the Northern Hemisphere, and the energy has been a bit overwhelming (if you’re not feeling it, I hope you wake from your coma soon – I cannot imagine how else you have avoided it). The intensity of the energy, impacted by some serious astro-weather including several retrogrades and sunstorms (check out Ruby’s Readings for more details), has everyone feeling on edge – not a surprise with all the change in the air. Let’s look at the cards:

1. Overall energy this week: VIII Death/Rebirth – Transformation
2. Do this: XII Love – Speaks for itself
3. Not that: Nine of Water – Ignorance
4. BONUS GUIDE: Three of Earth – Intimacy

This week, love is the answer no matter the question. Change is happening with or without our cooperation, and it is in our best interests to greet it with open arms as well as good sense. Pay close attention to your tribe – maintaining intimate relationships need not be tested at this time, if you are paying attention. Ignorance is NOT bliss.

No matter the challenges this week, success is yours if you want it – GO GET ‘EM!

Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope the weekend has been peaceful (and restful) for everyone.

As we get ready for the new week – finishing laundry, packing lunches, meal planning, etc. – let’s take a moment to see what may be heading our way. 

• What will the week bring: Five of Earth – Temptations

We have a warning this week: Watch out for short cuts and easy answers!

There will be temptations this week, avoid them by reminding yourself of the most important of hard truths: When has ANYTHING of value been gathered by cutting corners or taking the easy way out? The honest answer can only ever be NEVER, and as always, if it sounds too good to be true, it most assuredly is not as it appears.

So, how was your week? I will not lie – mine was rough; take a look at what worked and what didn’t – maybe some changes are in order. Let’s look at the cards:

1. Keep: III The Youth – Independence
2. Kick: XIV King of Water – Possessiveness

If you are anything like me, you had a busy week full of challenges and accomplishments – mostly good but all exhausting – with quite a bit of struggle either way. Fighting for change is necessary and difficult, certainly not more than we can handle but maybe there are better ways. Independent thought, and a willingness to quest for adventure (read success/accomplishment) are fabulous tools and we should certainly fan those flames carefully. That said, a sense of self-preservation, while necessary, can turn into jealousy and possessiveness if we are not mindful – kick that right to the curb.

Enjoy the weekend – have some fun!

And be ready to get right back to it in the new week.

((Dreams Of Gaia Tarot, Ravynne Phelan))

After a busy work week, we head into a weekend looking for some peace and quiet.

1. What is our happiness? XXIV Faith – Serenity
2. What is our gratitude? Four of Earth – Stability

You know you are enough. You know your progress, though slow, is steady. You have no reason to be short-tempered with yourself – you are doing splendidly. Take a deep breath, take a good look around, recognize you are happy – accept it!

This is a good weekend to focus on self-care; a quiet soak, linger over tea, maybe eat a scone – whatever you like. Take care of you.

NOTE: If your self-care includes hiking, biking, jogging, etc., that is fabulous – DO IT! Whatever works for you is what you should do this weekend. ENJOY!

We have spent our week gearing up to move forward, out of this week, into the weekend, and on into the new week – how will you travel? Let’s look at the cards.

1. Pathway: Eight of Fire (Transformation)
2. Where to: X Wisdom (Tranquility)
3. Obstacles: Five of Water (Isolation)

Moving forward, we have the power to affect change for better or worse; we must move responsibly, taking care to keep our own counsel, avoiding as many unintentional consequences as possible. This is a good time for a solitary journey because the emotional turmoil we have been managing (you know what I’m talking about – and if you do not, ask around) is not made easier by hangers-on, no matter how well-meaning.

REMINDER: You don’t gotta if you don’t wanna! If this time does not feel right to you, if you feel too unsure, or unsteady, or bone-tired, you are not obligated to pursue this pathway at this time. Take a step back, take a breath, have a coffee, decide what you want to do, when and how. Fire energy may be fleeting but it is also returns frequently – if you miss this round, there will be others. Take care of you first.

On Wednesdays, we speak our minds.

((Dreams of Gaia Tarot, Ravynne Phelan))

Communication is the key to so many aspects of success, we really should be more careful with it – perhaps thinking first…. Let’s look at the cards.

1. Communication: Six of Earth – Responsibility
2. Do this: XII of Air The Scribe – Objectivity
3. Not that: XIV King of Air – Obedience

This week, we lead by example. We have a responsibility to think twice but speak once – clearly and concisely for best results –  and be sure to see all sides (you do not need to support or even tolerate all sides but you must acknowledge them ). Be as objective as possible; it may not be easy but it is necessary.

REMINDER: This is not a time for following along and playing by the rules; those rules are made by someone else and they are not meant to serve you. This week, you make your own rules, do it your own way. Someone does not like it, they can do their own thing. CAUTION: This is NOT license to be obnoxious or irresponsible – there is work to be done and you have an obligation to be civil while you do it. Since you are an adult, please act accordingly.

On Tuesdays, we are called to action; how will the energy strategy (Monday)  best be used to our advantage? Let’s look at the cards.

1. Direction: XX Desire (speaks for itself)
2. Do this: Four of Water – Release
3. Not that: X Wisdom – Withdrawal

In keeping with the current astro-weather (check out Ruby’s Readings for the various forecasts and explanations), our actions are compelled by our desires; this is a good time to let go of preconceived notions – allow yourself to go with the flow as you move through this week. Follow your heart, and don’t be afraid to be just a bit silly (it’s good for you!).

CAUTION: This is NOT a good time to withdraw from others; allow yourself to work with others – you never know how (or by whom) the big ideas will be delivered.
