Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

When you balance your physical and spiritual natures, you’ll rule the World. Well not literally, but you will be able to achieve what you need and be crowned with respect and honor. Allow yourself to heal old wounds and forgive yourself for letting others control your perspective of who you are. Express the same love for self that you do for those things in your life that bring out your passion. You can achieve your dreams, when you live in balance and respect with all things; including yourself.

Additional Insight:

Stop listening to the negative talk that has been programmed into the back of your mind. The opinions of others and their view of you is not what defines who and what you are. Your thoughts and actions do that. And there’s a big difference between constructive criticism and abusive meanness.

Don’t put yourself down and pass judgement on your past actions. You can’t go back and change the things that have happened in your life, but you can learn from them and move on. Forgive yourself for the choices you made that you wish you hadn’t. Forgive yourself for allowing others to control your perspectives of the world around you and of yourself. Their fear and one-sided view doesn’t tell the whole story and deep down you know that. Continue reading →

Be proud of yourself and what you have accomplished. Celebrate a bit this weekend. But don’t over do it. Your focus is still needed to be watchful and be on guard to protect what you’ve gained. Some will try to respond to you the way they always have. Don’t let them push your buttons or give into their games. You’ve worked hard to make a difference in your own life and change your path to the positive. Stick to it and stand tall! Good for you, keep it going.

Additional Insight:

You’ve made a big effort to turn this around and change the path of negativity, illness and struggle around. You’ve consciously stopped yourself from saying things you know you shouldn’t. Or acting and reacting in certain ways that have not served you well in the past. And it really has made a difference on your path and you may have noticed that this week. Have you? Did a big surprise come to you this week? Or did you receive an unexpected pat on the back? Or a message of acknowledgement for all your efforts?

Then take a little time to acknowledge your hard work and celebrate your efforts. They deserve to be recognized. But when someone around you tries to criticize you for it, don’t take the bait and fall into old habits. Simply respond “I’ve earned it and this is my new way to celebrate”. They don’t have to like it, it’s not their celebration. But calmly and proudly stand up for yourself.

Magik and creativity are flowing today. Use your wisdom to be just and fair in your dealings with others. Take time to use your position with authority, but make sure you aren’t being a dictator until you discover all the information that maybe available. Use your insight and gut feelings. You’ll discover the truth and then you’ll be able to make the right decision for you.

Additional Insight:

Being the one that others look up to, or look toward for making the right decisions isn’t an easy job. Whither you’re a parent, a boss, or the head of a crafting group, you’ll be asked to resolve conflict when it arises.

Don’t take it lightly. And don’t let others try to tell you what’s going on from their side of the disagreement. You may not want to be on that pedestal, but you’re there and now you’re going to have to use balance and judgement to discover the whole story on both, and maybe on all sides of the table.

Remember there’s always three tales to be discovered. Side A, Side B and the truth that exists somewhere in the middle. If you set your emotions aside and don’t get drawn into your own conflicts of ego, you’ll be able to find out what’s really happening. Be ready for any constructive criticism on your part, but also remember that when people are angry, they’re going to take it out on the person who has the authority to end the conflict.

Have the strength and courage to play your music, your way. Don’t change who you are to satisfy the whims of others, or to make those less confident feel good about themselves. You spent a long time searching for your voice. Use it with love and compassion, but with determination to stand up for yourself. No one knows you, better than you do. If you’re not standing up for yourself, who else will?

Additional Insight:

Everyone has room for improvement, something to learn and areas to grow. But make sure the critique you’re getting is honest and coming from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. Even then, their expertise might not fit your vision of what you want to become and how you want to implement your dream. Be careful you don’t give up your integrity for what might appear to be a short cut.

Keep in mind those that put you down may not be giving you honest feedback to help you get better. They maybe trying to manipulate you out of fear of losing you. You can show compassion and attempt to ease their fears, help them heal from their past battles and find their own confidence. In both themselves and in you. So be careful you’re not feeding their fears, but rather supporting their confidence.

It’s not a day to be cute and coy. That sheepish and childish character will not win friends, or gain the attention of the person you want to notice you. Maturity with a sense of fun and adventure will attract the people you want to have around you. You can be smart, confident and act like an adult and still be someone who knows how to enjoy the moment and have fun. Don’t change who you are so that someone else can feel good about themselves. That never works out in the end!

Additional Insight:

Acting childish can cost you much more prosperity and abundance than you can spare right now. It can also impact your chances to improve those things in the future for your own stability as well. Now is not the time to react to situations like a child. Nor will those types of actions gain the favor of others whose attentions you’re trying to attain.

No matter what your age, as an adult you should have a sense of responsibility, accountability and maturity about you. That doesn’t mean you have to be a stuffed shirt and can’t laugh or have a good time. But remember there are extremes to everything, even to having fun. Too much of anything is rarely good. And sometimes, timing really IS everything!

Being coquettish is not an attribute that holds its appeal for very long.  Confidence and being self-assured are attractive traits for an adult. They indicate that you can get through anything and be counted on when needed. There’s nothing worse than a 40+man who still acts like he’s invincible with a high school humor. Or a woman who still wants to spread the latest gossip about the next door neighbor or act naive and gullible about everyday life.

Keep your mouth shut today! You’re only hearing half the story, if that. You’re being used and manipulated in an unjust cause. Don’t get in the middle of situations and you’ll walk through the day with ease. Allow your self to be pushed toward one side of the battlefield over the other and you’ll be the one who gets carried off with the wounded. Control your temper, your assumptions and your words! They all have energy that you can’t take back once they have been released.

Additional Insight:

Someone near you has been trying to manipulate and scheme for several months now. Their previous attempts have not worked out in their favor as yet, but they are still working on undermining others for their own gains. Be cautious about your reactions to what you’re told and make sure you’re getting the entire story!

Better yet, try not to get involved at all. It might be none of your business and your part in their war is to be a pawn who can be sacrificed with ease. Don’t let “friends” try to guilt you into being on their side. Loyalty runs both ways. True friends don’t put others in danger for their petty arguments or underhanded schemes. Ask yourself, if this goes wrong, will they be there for you? The answer is probably going to be a resounding “No”.

Don’t tie yourself up in knots today. The anxiety isn’t yours to own, so don’t allow others to turn the thorns of punishment inward toward yourself. Remember you are free to choose your own path. You are safe and secure when you walk with compassion and kindness. Above all else, through Walking Your Talk ©, you will rise above the visceral fear and anger of the day.

Additional Insight:

Many around you might be filled with panic, unreasonable fear or irrational anxiety. Whatever has their world in a bind, don’t allow their energies or emotions to tie you up in the story. It’s not your play to star in, nor your lessons to be learned.

Trust yourself and your own chosen path. Keep your sights on your steps forward. Offer comfort or compassion. But remember you can’t fix problems others have created for themselves, no matter how much they want you to. Especially when there may not even be a problem to begin with.

Sometimes the greatest gift you can provide to someone else is the space to fall down and falter. Let their drama queen/king act stand on its own merits and the consequences of their actions fall on their shoulders. It’s a hands off day for the most part. A day not to get dragged into a one-sided  drama.
