Tarot Card of the Day: Page of Cups Reversed

Your Card for today.  Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you. Not everyone saw this.  Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor.  YOU DID. There are no mistakes.
MEANING: When the reversed Page of Cups appears, it’s a signal to allow yourself to play and dream, but that you must remain grounded in reality. Knowing the difference between dreams and wishful thinking and what is really happening can be especially challenging now.  This card shows a need to play, to dream, to have a little fun. At the same time, you have to know where the boundaries lie. Eventually we all have to pay the piper in some way. Be aware that actions have consequences. Continue reading

Not everyone can face a mirror every day. Until you work it out with one, you’re going to keep getting that lesson

If you’re spending time with another human, you’re going to have disagreement. How you feel about each other will waver back and forth.  It’s not easy having a mirror right in front of you.  Only when you don’t recognize it as a mirror does it become uncomfortable. That’s when moods begin swinging. That’s when doors begin swinging.  Until you work it out with one of them, you’re going to keep getting that lesson in the form of others just like them. Different face. Different name. Mates, employers, children. Same lesson. Make it easy on yourself. Pick just one of those people to work it out with and get on with your happy life. Oh and yes, of course, make amends with the past, owning up to yourself where you’ve been untruthful, then forgiving everyone and everything in it, including yourself.

Tarot Card of the Day: The Lovers

Your Card for today.  Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this.  Not everyone attracted this message.  YOU DID.
MEANING: The Lovers is associated with the astrological sign of Gemini. It almost always points to partnerships with just one other person; generally, and not surprisingly, this indicates a romantic partnership, but this is not always the case. Less frequently, it points to the duality that all of us have inwardly – between male/female, yin/yang, approach/avoidance, and the like.  You may feel ambivalent about a relationship or situation in your life. It could be that your heart is telling you one thing, and your head, another.  Continue reading

When my soul is fulfilled, I don’t need someone to rub molecules with

I’ve been working on final layout of the July Horizons Magazine this week and not much else. This afternoon I got to have a quick sushi with a pal before getting into the evening work. It’s cool when a pal lives within walking distance, works from home as I do, and we have similar habits, lifestyle, interests and language. It gives us that automatic shorthand that makes conversation so effortless, revelatory and satisfying. For someone with as little free time for socializing as I, that’s a big plus.  My ideal relationship with a man is that of a brother on the Path, someone interested in connection to Source – whatever that looks like to them, personal growth, yoga, fitness, meditation. Someone who likes their quiet, contemplative time, someone aware of their own psychic connection and the power of each holy instant.   Continue reading

You want to discuss something? An email is all it takes.

Anytime down the road you want to talk about something and put it to rest without a rehash, I’m game.  Life’s too short not to. An email is all it takes. And to anyone who has any questions for me personally, between you and I, feel free to email me a list of your concerns and I will be happy to address them.  I welcome input; it helps me consider course correction.  Everyone is my teacher. In the interest of time and clarity, tell me specifically what you wish in your first email so we do not have to go back and forth unnecessarily. If I’ve said something you want clarity on, copy and paste it for me and ask your question. If you want a blog post revised, tell me what you want it to say instead.  Write the first email to me as if it’s your only chance to say whatever you want to say, because it might be the only one I have time to read. Make it easy for me to address your concerns, by telling me in detail what they are.  Thank you.

Tarot Card of the Day: Two of Wands Reversed

Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this.  Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor.  YOU DID. There are no mistakes.
MEANING:   The reversed 2 of Wands can indicate a pleasant surprise headed your way. Take the time to think positively, and be grateful for the gifts life is bringing you. Allow yourself to take joy and pleasure in the little things.  Put emotion in perspective; sometimes what you feel is not the total reality of the situation. Sometimes you have to make a change and try new things in order to enjoy life. Weigh the balance carefully if you are considering taking a risk or making big changes in your life. Continue reading

When an individual has direct experience of the fact that he or she is one with others and indeed with the entire universe, a host of ills dissipate on their own without direct, conscious intervention of any sort.

Tarot Card of the Day: Four of Wands Reversed

Your Card for today.  Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this.  Not everyone attracted this message .  YOU DID. There are no mistakes.
MEANING:  This is a very positive card to see in a reading in any context, revered or upright. There may be an upcoming celebration; in any event, joy is likely to be in the air. Unexpected good fortune could be headed your way when this card appears. Still, that doesn’t mean to throw away all your hard work and simply sit back. All good things are added to when we make efforts and make a point to share and give to others, in whatever way we can.  Continue reading
