11/09/15 Let The Sun Shine In!!! The Sun

No more falsehoods or derisions / Golden living dreams of visions / (Mystic crystal revelation)
And the mind’s true liberation
Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In, The Fifth Dimension

Sun Steam

The Sun shines and all is revealed – and about time, too! The Waiting has been making us a little crazy.

Questions are answered. Truths are told, Feelings are revealed.  

Embrace the honesty with relief; you were not imagining things, and now you know.

A fabulous way to start the week. Happy Monday!

11/06-08/15 WEEKEND: Moon, Ten of Cups, Page of Cups

Moon Steam 10C Steam 33ecb42607aabbddd5bbc2e660fe585b

The following card descriptions can be found in Barbara Moore’s The Steampunk Tarot Manual.

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

Ten of Cups: “This is it: right here, right now. This is the heart of my life.”

Page of Cups: “Juliet was a poseur.”

Once again, the weekend is upon us with its promise of rest and relaxation; promises so often unfulfilled as we run errands, complete chores, attend to grown-up life.

NOT THIS WEEKEND!!

Take some time out for fun – it is important to maintain your grown-up life but it is also important to give yourself a break. Make a plan to do something fun, maybe try something new – a new ethnic restaurant, a movie genre you don’t normally choose, something. ANYTHING.

It is very easy to fall into the rut of the mundane, calling it “necessary” and “comfortable.’ This weekend, try something new.

ENJOY!!!

11/05/15 Rose Colored Memories. Six of Cups

Remember the time…… 

No – and neither do you.

6C Steam

Time not only heals, it colors. Stark memories become muted. Happy memories glister.

Be cautious – see things as they are and later, remember them as they were; do not allow yourself the folly of false romanticism.

Happy memories deserve their accurate preservation.

Unhappy memories serve as wisdom.

Your life. Your experiences. Your memories. Keep them honest.

11/04/15 That Which Doesn’t Kill You. Three of Swords

“Well, we’re scared but we ain’t shaking. Kinda bent but we ain’t breaking.” The Eagles


3s steampunk t

Knowledge may be power but there is a reason ignorance is bliss.

What you don’t know can certainly hurt you, so you might as well know it and move on.

You may not have chosen this circumstance, the events leading to it may not have been within your control, and the results you may have preferred to do without – but you are here now.

What will you do about it? How will you handle it?

Heed Three of Swords; leave the hurt, take the lesson, and on the way home, have some cannoli.

11/03/15 Allons-y!! Queen of Wands

Impatience or confidence? Doesn’t matter – get to it!! QW Steam

This is NOT “fake it til you make it.” This is 100% “YOU GOT THIS!” 

So quit hemming, hawing and feet dragging.

Pull on your boots – at dawn, you ride!!

HANG ON, ST. CHRISTOPHER!!!

11/02/15 What Goes Around, Comes Around. Wheel of Fortune

Something’s coming…something good? Maybe, maybe not – we shall see. Wheel Steam

GOOD NEWS: The Wheel is always turning – good or bad, this moment will not last.

LESS GOOD NEWS: Surprise cannot be avoided; if it is unpleasant, tough it out as best you can.

On the bright side, The Wheel of the year has started anew (for the witchy set) or is wrapping up (for the non-witchy), and November holds some promise for a well-settled and comfortable season. The holidays are approaching and we welcome many surprises during this time.

10/30-11/01/15 BOO!! HALLOWEEN WEEKEND

KnP Steam Strength Steam AS Steam

“One reason why I don’t drink is because I wish to know when I am having a good time.” Nancy Astor

Let’s look at the individual components:

  • Knight of Pentacles: Discretion is the better part of valor; you should live to fight another day.
  • Strength: Walk quietly while you carry a big stick.
  • Ace of Swords: It is time for new ideas.

Halloween Weekend: the perfect time to have fun but an important time to be careful – use your imagination but be smart  and play safe.

TRICK OR TREAT, EVERYONE!!!!

10/29/15 Gathering Rose Petals. Four of Pentacles

Take a look at your surroundings. 4P steam

  • Are you using your resources wisely or lavishly?
  • Do you appreciate your home and Its comforts?
  • Are you satisfied?
  • Have you allowed the pursuit of money to replace the pursuit of happiness?

INVENTORY TIME!!!!

Take a good, hard, honest look at your home, your life, yourself.

You know money is not love, and it cannot buy happiness, but you may have fallen into the consumer trap nonetheless (it really can happen to anyone). Do not head into the holiday season with a shopping list meant to “buy” love rather than express it. The “perfect gift,” if it exists at all, is unlikely to have the highest price tag.

10/28/15 Shaking It Up! The Tower

The ground shifts under your feet – status quo cannot be maintained as the foundation shifts and crumbles.Tower Steam

You cannot stay where you are; it is time to move.

The Tower marks irresistible change; do not waste energy fighting it or prolonging the inevitable. 

Make your own decisions about what happens next

Choose your pathway.

Take a leap of faith.

Find your solid ground.

PLANT A FLAG!
