08/06/15 We’ll All Shine On: Ten of Pentacles

a59789b1c93bb9d50d06b0059284ea20

“We’ll all shine on. Like the moon, and the stars and the sun.”

The Ten of Pentacles is not done with us this week; the GOP debate on FOX tonight as well as Jon Stewart’s last hosting of The Daily Show, and the gods in their heavens, all is right with the world.

No, really. Take a look around – something for everyone under a sunny blue sky.

August is the end of the fleeting summer, and back to school shopping is on the horizon, so take a break and enjoy the abundance of summer – lovely fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh lemonade, Italian Ice, 

Live in this beautiful moment with the gifts surrounding you and do not be afraid to enjoy.

08/05/15 Burning Daylight: The Chariot

“Are we there yet????”

Time to move – take a vacation, go for a long drive, find a new apartment – and time’s a wastin’! 10f8fc843d32b15a1af153bccb9e83ef

Since there is no time like the present, stop thinking and start doing! After all, you are not the last to know how bored you have become where you are.

REMINDER: The Chariot speaks of movement compelled; if you do not make your own decisions, someone will make them for you – do not give up your power that way!

THINK BIG!!! Next stop PARIS!!

THINK SMALL!!! Next stop Kenosha!!

It doesn’t matter where you go, how you go, or what you decide to do when you get there. It matters only that you decide to go, and then GO!! ADVENTURE IS CALLING!!

Be brave enough to answer.

ENJOY!!!!

08/04/15 All That Glitters: Ten of Pentacles

“All that glisters is not gold.” Prince of Morocco, The Merchant of Venice (II, vii) 

REMINDER: Just because it is not gold does not mean it has no value. 

Appreciate all you have but do not be fooled; some glittery things are garbage and some dusky things are treasures.

You are blessed in many ways and with many comforts, do not take them for granted. 

Do not be afraid to share you good fortune; you didn’t get here by yourself.

08/02/15 Let Me Sleep On It: Four of Swords

Don’t be in a hurry to make a decision and take action. ad7f9906a55e67617c9561d78b65a26b

Do not disregard expiration dates or deadlines but do not allow yourself to be rushed to judgement. It’s okay to think it through, take a reasonable amount of time to make a decision and formulate a plan.

Remember: Action is the only truth.

Do not act capriciously as you will have no choice but to own your truth in the end.

08/01/15 Take Nothing For Granted : Four of Cups

Complacency is a mistake.images

Feeling good? Enjoying the summer? Feeling all is right in your world? AWESOME!!! But how do you plan to keep it?

All relationships need maintenance and care, and too often we neglect the people who are good in our lives, paying more attention to problem areas. Do not wait until good lovin’ goes bad! Pay attention to your loved ones. Honor your tribe with time and engagement. 

MOST OF ALL: Recognize and apperciate the many blessings you have right now!

“If you got what it takes, it won’t be long before someone takes what you got.”  (Dean Martin, Kiss Me Stupid)

07/31/15 It’s Fine, You’re Not Bleeding: Three of Swords

3s steampunk t

I know it hurts but you are not dying.

Three of Swords will not be denied, making a second appearance in less than two weeks.

I could blame the major Venus retrograde for leaving people with general feelings of dread and heartbreak but I will not.

Own your thoughts – they belong to you and you are responsible for them – and do not allow them to make you feel bad.

Media takes up so much oxygen in our modern time, it is almost impossible to avoid negative (i.e. sad, angry, hateful, etc.) ideas and attitudes, resulting in negative thoughts and feelings. Since you cannot live in a cave you must instead learn to manage your thoughts effectively – do not allow your mind to inflict pain on your heart – everyone struggles, and everything changes; action is the only truth.

DO NOT BE BULLIED BY YOUR OWN MIND!!!

Take a little time for self care everyday. Following are some suggestions of small things you can do any day:

  • Look for a favorite old song on youtube (or wherever you like), and just listen to it,
  • Play a favorite album while working, driving, fixing dinner, etc, and remember why you love it so much.
  • Brew a cup (or pot, if you have enough time) of your favorite tea, get lost in the simple process of choosing the tea, the mug, boiling the water, etc.
  • Take a coffee break; pour the coffee, sit quietly, drink the coffee, enjoy the peace and the coffee.
  • Eat an ice cream cone. No further instruction needed.
  • Buy a new, more daring, shade of lipstick; enjoy the process of trying and choosing the new shade for a positive you.
  • Read a chapter in a book you have been “dying to read.” Can’t do a whole chapter? Start with a few pages.
  • Breathe deeply, hold it for two beats, exhale completely. You can do this at any time, anywhere, and as much as you like and it will always feel good.
  • Stretch!!! Any part of your body, anytime you like, it feels fabulous!

REMEMBER: It’s your – every thought belongs to you – make sure they are what you want them to be!!
