02/18/16 Pick A Card – Any Card! Two of Wands

2W Steam

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

He’s back! The message has not changed but its appearance on both sides of The Chariot rather conveys an increased urgency to pull on your traveling shoes, pick up your knapsack, choose the direction and move on!!! 

Hesitation is not serving you – get going while all the choices are still your own.

GOOD LUCK!

DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL STEAM AHEAD!!

Please recall The Fool appeared at the beginning of the New Year (Wednesday,01/06/16), announcing a new adventure about to begin. Since then, the cards steadily encouraged dreaming big, making decisions, creating plans; the actual, physical movement was the final, remaining step.

 And now, the time has come for movement – change of venue, career path, address, whatever – ready or not, time to make a decision and move forward.

You are as ready as you can be sitting still; you are stronger than you realize and it is now time to board your plane, train, or automobile and move it along in the real world.

GERONIMO!!

02/16/16 Hello, I Must Be Going! Six of Cups

“In the midst of grime and despair, the smallest act becomes unspeakably beautiful.” Barbara Moore

6C Steam

((The Steampunk Tarot. Moore and Fell))

So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits / I hope you have found a friend.
Closing time / Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end. Closing Time, Semisonic

Pisces approaches and it may feel like a good time to wallow in nostalgia, your thoughts steeped in “good old days” and a longing to return to a time gone by….but ask your self, which time would that be?

  • The Viet Nam War? (1960s)
  • The Nixon Years? (1970s)
  • The AIDS Crisis? (1980s)
  • The Gulf War One? (1990s)
  • The Falling Towers? (2000s)

The bittersweet truth is simple; you have a cherished memory – and that is wonderful – but it is an isolated and cherished memory for a reason, and it is important you never forget it. It is a lovely place to visit but you absolutely cannot live there.

REMEMBER: You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.

02/15/16 The Lady or The Tiger? Two of Wands

“A wielder of fire does not chant ‘eenie-meanie-miny-moe.'” Barbara Moore

2W Steam

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

” OMG! Red pill or blue pill? Lady or tiger? Rock or hard-place? Too many choices! Too many demands! Too much responsibility!”

SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP!!

You have the power, which means you also have the responsibility; be nervous on your own time, there is work to be done  and people are waiting on you so pick a direction and get going!

What are you waiting for?!?!?!?

Actually, I know what you are waiting for – a sign. Any sign indicating a direction or plan to help you make a decision. You do not know which way to go and you are thinking yourself into a paralysis. STOP IT!! Choices are often muddy, lacking the clear good/bad, love/hate, live/die juxtapositions we long for in a well-ordered world. The choices available are generally fraught with grey areas. It can be very nerve-wracking, particularly when people are depending upon you.

Follow these guidelines to move you forward (discontinue once you find the affirmative):

STEP 1: Do any of your choices appeal to you directly? If so, choose it and get going.

STEP 2: Do any of your choices appeal to you indirectly? If so, choose it and get moving.

STEP 3: Do any of your choices appear benign in nature? If so, choose it and get moving.

STEP 4: Do any of your choices appear least harmful? If so, chose it and get moving.

REMEMBER: Not choosing is also a choice and it is the worst of the bunch as you surrender all power and control but not the responsibility.

02/11/16 What Does It All Mean? Seven of Pentacles

“How does reality measure up to your expectations?” Barbara Moore

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

TIME OUT!!!!

You have been working hard; time to take a step back and appraise the progress you have made to this point:

  • How does it look?
  • Are you on the right track?
  • Are you making discernible progress? 
  • Are you happy/satisfied with the progress you are making?
  • Are changes needed? Course correction in order?

Evaluate your current position; be sure you are on the right track before you continue.

REMINDER: This is your project – the most important perspective is your own. Feel free to ask for input from others but do not allow their opinions to color your own.

02/10/16 He Drinks His Ketel On The Rocks. The Devil

My, my, my, said the spider to the fly
I got some toys I think you might wanna try
I’m selling pleasure by the pound
No, no, no, said it’s best that I go
‘Fore my resistance hits an all-time low
Dim the lights, too sweet to play
I thought that I heard somebody say
Do you want it sleazy?
I can make it easy
Come running to me
If you like ’em real
I can make the deal
That’s all you’ll get from me

The Bulletboys, F#9

From time to time, we all do things contrary to our best interests; most of the time, these are harmless indulgences meant to be pressure valves on our regular lives – no problem.

Everyone needs a little naughty in their lives once in a while.

Devil Steam

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

Unfortunately, when this guy shows up, it is time to realize there is a problem.

BEST CASE: You have been asleep at the wheel and a situation has become an issue you must now handle with all due expediency and contrition.

WORST CASE: You have become a slave to a monster of your own creation – the situation is out of control and you have no one to blame but yourself – you must ask for help to straighten it out. Humility will be required.

BEST OF LUCK!!!

02/09/16 ALLONS-Y!!! Queen of Wands

QW Steam

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

SHE’S BACK!!!

And her message remains the same: LET’S GO! LET’S GO!! LET’S GO!!!

She will not tolerate whining or dawdling; the time for talking is done – it’s time to go!!

If you are looking for more soothing counsel, you have the wrong Queen.

As always, her driven energy arrives at the perfect time – the seeds you plant during the Dark Moon (just last night!) will require some action on your part to bring to fruition – it is not enough to give it to Hecate and wait, you must work on your goal – and Queen of Wands brings her crop and spurs to move you along, no break in stride!

You may find this overwhelming or tiring – too bad for you! She will not wait around for your comfort level to rise; get it in gear or get left behind in her wake of contempt. 

It’s time to go.

GERONIMO!!

02/08/16 Dark Moon Rising: The Moon

“It was all so strange, and I cannot remember it properly. Well, you know how dreams are. ” Barbara Moore

Moon Steam

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

I love this card and I love its arrival for The Dark Moon; Hecate imparts the wisdom of the ages while we are cloaked in her profound darkness. Profound truths are revealed to us at this time – heed the messages!

This is a good time to start a new project of the self; I would like to suggest the following affirmations (easily converted to prayers or spellwork as your needs be):

  • I release that which does not serve me.
  • I invite abundance into my life.
  • I release all negative attachment.
  • I absorb positive energy.
  • My life promotes healing.
  • I welcome appropriate change.
  • I look forward to new lessons and new adventures.
  • I welcome growth of heart, mind and soul.

Use the energy of the Dark Moon to find and receive information you have been missing, ignoring, or denying; Hecate always brings truth – allow her wisdom to strengthen you.
