07/30/15 Hail To The Chief: Six of Wands

“ALL HAIL, CAESAR!!”

We all love it when a plan comes together! You planned well, you worked smart, you fought hard, and victory is yours!!

WELL DONE!!!

Accept your due with grace and humility, take a few deep breaths as you enjoy the spoils, and get back to work.

Change is certain and your victory, although awesome, makes you vulnerable. 

REMEMBER: The only thing we like better than a winner is watching a winner fall.

So enjoy your victory but keep looking ahead as well as around corners and behind doors because an ounce of prevention is still a better deal than a pound of cure.

I have seen the enemy, and she is me.

The world is full of information and media; it is difficult to still the mind and too easy to fall down the rabbit hole – conspiracy theories lurk at everywhere, and some of them ring a bit too true for comfort. If we watch (or read) the daily news, collapse of civilization is imminent, possibly scheduled for next Tuesday. And as always, we have the daily grind of obligations, responsibilities, and a comet headed for earth.

STOP THE MADNESS!! Time to take control of the situation! 

All thoughts are just that – thoughts – and believe it or not, you don’t work for them, they work for you.

It is important to understand the mistakes of history and keep an eye on current events. However, it serves nothing to wallow in negative, disturbing, angry or destructive thoughts – so release yourself from them.

That’s right, you heard me – release yourself! 

Only you have the power to release yourself. You have the right to think positively and freely, and the only permission you need is your own. Allow yourself the peace and freedom of quiet stillness and mental ease.   

Your freedom is entirely up to you.

“He loves me, he loves me not…..”

Looking for a sign? Hoping for flowers? Waiting for a love letter? Not sure how he feels or what she’ll do?

SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!!

The only truth is action – judge all actions as they appear; do not read more into them or presume they have deeper, more significant meaning. Always remember, a cigar is usually just a cigar.

Love requires courage.  If you want more assurance, be brave and ask for it. Be the first to step forward with your own heart’s message.

Reveal your love, so love may be revealed.

“That’s right, baby! If you’ve got it, flaunt it!” (Zero Mostel, The Producers)

You have worked hard and you have many blessings – more than you realize, more than most people – recognize it, appreciate it, and enjoy it!!!

Change is the only inevitable force in this life, and it strikes without warning. The time to celebrate is now!!!

“Take nothing for granted. It’s great to be alive.” (Lin Brehmer, WXRT Chicago)

07/24/15 Who’s Afraid Of A Little Sharknado? Queen of Swords

Armed and ready; if she sits in a corner, you better believe no one else put her there.

Who’s afraid of a little sharknado? Not the Queen of Swords! She always has a plan and is prepared to execute it. Have you been puzzling over an issue? Struggling with a decision? Wondering what to do next? Do not overthink it! You have the answers you need (remember The Hermit?) and you have the plan – nothing left but to do it.

A word to the wise: if you do not sincerely want her advice and counsel, do not ask for it. She has neither the time nor the inclination to placate you, and despite her delicate beauty, she plays rougher than you think.

Off you go – there’s work to be done!

07/23/15 All Light, No Bushel: The Hermit

steampunkhermit HANG ON! Help is on the way!

Things to do? Plans to make? Places to go? No problem – get to it!

We have seen the source of power, and it is us.

No more waiting for a knight in shining armor. No more searching the skies for a superhero.

If Romeo shows up in black jeans, tell him to have a seat – you’ll be with him when you’re ready.

You have what you need. You have what it takes.

Don’t be afraid. Just get on with it!

JUST A FLESH WOUND!!

We can’t always get what we want, and generally, that’s good news. The Universe accepts every request, hears every prayer, knows every desire, and more often than not, protects us from ourselves.

You have been on the wrong path, it’s not working, time to change course. Armed with yesterday’s Fool, you are in the perfect place to take a step back, and move forward in a new direction. I know it hurts but those are growing pains. You have not failed, you learned quite a bit, and you can apply it all on the next part of the journey.

What lies ahead? Who knows? Time to get going – it’s okay to move at your own pace, and heal as you go.
