Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Page of Swords

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti  - Page of Swords

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

The pattern of energy is coming together nicely today. Keep up the Mindful approach and back up the thoughts with actions. Be at the ready for when news arrives. This is a message you will definitely want to deliver. But don’t get distracted. Make sure you stay on course and headed in the direction you’ve been working on.


Additional Insight:

All your hard work and planning is falling into place nicely. Don’t sit back and rest quite yet though. There’s still work to be done to finalize the deal. Don’t get discouraged or distracted by other things. Slowing down now will not go in your favor.

Be cautious of the direction you’re moving so that you continue to pick up the correct information. And more importantly, so you give the correct information to those who are waiting on you. You’ll have time to relax by the end of the summer.

If you hit a stumbling block that you can’t see around, talk to those you trust and who you know has been there before you. Their wise counsel will provide some unique solutions you didn’t expect, or didn’t know about. Rely on their successful experience and heed their wise warnings. Even if the scenario they’re describing isn’t part of your plan, the solution they implemented could give you ideas for the challenges that may present themselves on your path.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Swords – Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti  - Nine of Swords - Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

A pattern is emerging to protect and defend what’s important to you. Things on your plate are not complicated, nor should they be made into more than they are. But don’t block your view from the changing skies. There maybe opportunities that require adjustments to attain their benefits. Align your goals with the Divine Universe and create your dreams with ease and confidence.


Additional Insight:

Swords represent Strength & Weakness, Endurance & Struggle, Respect & Animosity.

An inverted card doesn’t automatically signify negative energies or messages. Rather they can simply be trying to inspire you to look at things from a different perspective. See things from the other side, or in a different light. Gaining a higher insight to see the entire picture.

When you align your goals with the Divine Universe you change your perspective to view all aspects of a situation and not just the things that are right in front of you. You can see how the choices that have been made are laying out the patterns for the future. And this will help make adjustments and tweak some tasks that aren’t moving in a direction that’s best for you.

Don’t be afraid of altering your course. Fear is a weakness that can take you far off the path you want to be headed upon. It can increase struggle, create frustration and animosity, all of which can prolong the journey and weaken your resources. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Two of Swords

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti  - Two of Swords

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Don’t let anger blind your judgement. Lower the swords and end the battle. Today is a time to come together and put the fight to rest. Enough has been lost and the time has come to bring peace and compassion to your domain. Be in the moment and revel in the change that’s present in your day. Share a hug and show your love to those on your path.


Additional Insight:

Victory can only be achieved through peace and tranquility. Others will go out of their way to push your buttons today. Don’t let your instinct to become angry cloud your judgement. The swords of war will cross both ways and can damage both sides equally.

Recognize the passion and perspectives of the other side. That doesn’t mean you have to agree. But allow their views to exist in their moment. You can’t “make” others change and see things your way. But with love and compassion you release their hate and walk away from their manipulation to force you into their view.

Don’t allow their staunch criticism become your baggage. But don’t allow their hate to jade your personality or your character. You have more to lose on your path of change than they have to gain from forcing you into a battle you don’t need to be in.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ace of Pentacles – Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - Ace of Pentacles - Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Stay balanced today. Don’t get bogged down in the heavy worry or anxiety. But don’t be too far “out there” and assume everything is going to get done on its own. Too much of anything isn’t good for you. Positive thinking is great, but you still have to do the work and make things happen. You can’t simply wish for change. Make the most of your opportunities.


Additional Insight:

Stop worrying about what everyone else is getting into. It’s not your job to keep others on the straight and narrow. Your efforts need to be spent on your tasks and what you need to do. There’s more than enough on your own plate to focus on.

Stop using others as an excuse to procrastinate your own work. You know what has to be done and how important it is. Not to mention how imperative it is to get it done. And stop building it into a big mountain of overwhelming tasks and deeds. It’s barely an ant hill! And you know it.

Let go of the fear and focus on the steps needed to fill out the papers, answer the questions, send off the responses. This isn’t a giant war plan that has to be thought out or tested out in 1,000 different scenarios. You’ve already done all that.

Tying The Knot With The Wedding Knot

Rose Gold and Emerald Claddagh Ring

Rose Gold and Emerald Claddagh Ring

A Sunday Homily

Marriages around the world have a great many traditions. One of my favorites involves The Irish Claddagh Ring, which is one of the most widely known traditions around the world. The ring incorporates a set of hands representing friendship, holding a heart which represents love, and a crown on top of the heart to represent loyalty. It originated in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, located just outside the old city walls of Galway, now part of Galway City.

According to Irish author Colin Murphy, the way in which a Claddagh ring was worn describes the wearer’s relationship status:

  • On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips, the wearer is single and may be looking for love.
  • On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist, the wearer is in a relationship.
  • On the left hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips, the wearer is engaged.
  • On the left hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist, the wearer is married.

The first records of production put the creation of Claddagh in the 17th Century. But the ring was not named the “Claddagh ring” until after the 1840s. There are several written accounts of the origins of the ring, each associate its creation with a famous Irish jeweler. None of which are particularly romantic and only one that I’d call interesting, but still not romantic. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knight of Cups

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti  - Knight of Cups

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Choose the path forward carefully. You don’t need to make things harder on yourself. Take the high road and you’ll have a straight line to where you need to be. Take the low road and you’ll be moving in and out through the pit holes that can derail your goals. Victory comes from being virtuous.


Additional Insight:

Don’t let the weeds of fear, anxiety or anger get in your way, They will only drag you down further and snip at your ankles causing more problems that you don’t need. Rise up out of the gloom and see the light ahead.

You have things to do. Don’t put them off. You have tasks that must be done. Don’t procrastinate and put them last on the list. This time they really are the imperative component of the day. Don’t “make” time for those items. Put them on top and make time for the other things.

Virtue is the behavior of taking the high moral ground. That doesn’t mean being judgmental of others. It means accepting others for what they are and what they do. But refusing to follow in their nay-sayer footsteps. It means not only doing what’s right for you, but thinking and saying what’s right as well.

Don’t spend the day regretting what you should have done, could have done or what you said. You can’t take that energy back once it’s out there. You made promises and commitments. Make the effort to get them done or you’ll falter and continue the struggle.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Lovers – Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - The Lovers VI - Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

For today, keep your passion beneath the surface. Don’t let the other side raise the price, simply because they have discovered your secret desire. Allow your inner light to empower your mission and give you strength to pursue the dream. But don’t let the hidden desire out just yet. The art of the deal is to let the seller know you don’t “have” to have this situation. You can walk away, take it or leave it. It’s a day to empower your negotiation skills.


Additional Insight:

It’s 07/07, a lucky day. If you control your emotions and focus on the business at hand. There’s power in unions and you have someone on your side. Use the energy of that connection to expand your strengths, support your weakness and burst out onto the scene in vibrant success. Today is your day to shine.

But be cautious about how much of your plan you share out in the world. There are some parts of your story that don’t need to be told. In fact, doing so could hurt your chances for getting what you want and perhaps need. Wait until the deal is done and everyone has signed on the dotted line.

Then you can share the news and be excited things went your way for once. Strength and creativity will be your key resources for negotiation. But temper your excitement. Not too much, not too little. Work at being balanced and even keel, while you negotiate and make your counter offers. Make the day work for you.

You’ve waited for this moment and everything could hinge on today’s deal. Be confident, be inspired and allow the Creative energy of the Divine Universe work through you. You will be able to manifest this goal in the overall plan and come out the winner. It’s your day to shine! Now go out and make it happen.

Happy Fourth Of July

The Declaration of Independence

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
