The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Others cannot hide your light. It’s part of who you are and what you do. Even beneath the surface you shine and sparkle. So allow yourself to be confident and secure in your space. Don’t worry about what may never come about. Dance your dance, even if it’s underwater, where all the pressure is off your shoulders.

Additional Insight:

The world is what you make of it. If it doesn’t fit, make adjustments. No one said you had to live in the world by the standards of others. This is your life and you are the one responsible for leading it. Set your own standards and strive to meet them as best you can. Set them high, so you always have something to reach for. Set many, so you achieve those that give you the strength to go for those that are high and fill the dream of a lifetime.

Even when you set those standards high, you have the ability to achieve your goal. So what if that path didn’t get you as far down the pike as you would have liked. Make a change and turn the path in a direction that will take you to the next intersection.

It’s always good to stop once in a while and review where you are. Decide if there’s a better direction to avoid obstacles you didn’t expect, or traffic that built up along the way. It’s part of the motion of life as everyone around you tries to get to their own destinations. When you pay attention to where you’re going, you avoid the collisions and accidents that can hold you up, or even change your journey.

Be calm, take your time and let your own inner strength show you the way to go. When you listen to your inner voice you avoid the dangers of what you want, not being what you need. You’ll save time, money and probably a lot of emotion too. You’ll be able to see the pot holes, as well as the opportunities that reside along the way as well. It’s not only the problems you’re looking for, but the chances to make big leaps and gain the advantage.

Today align your energies with the higher self and that Divine force you hold within your own beliefs. Don’t listen to others telling you what to do. They don’t know you as well as they think they do. They have their own standards and accountability to adhere to.  You can be supportive of their goals, but if they are at odds with your own, you will have to make your own choices, even if that means going your own way.

This is your path. In order to give it direction you must make the effort to be responsible for it. Do what needs to be done for you. Not to appease someone else. Not to live by their standards or make the sacrifices they demand. No matter how much you want what they are offering. It’s not worth the compromise of your integrity.

Live up to your own expectations and goals. You can do this. You’ve been doing it. So stop worrying that something is going to fall apart and cause you to start all over again. That’s not going to happen. Deep breath, be at peace and dance your dance.

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Be confident, but be patient. Things are moving along quite nicely and at the right pace to get you through the harvest. Keep a watchful eye over you domain and be ready for the opportunities as they arise. But don’t try to rush things. You’re not quite ready yet.

Additional Insight:

Today and through the weekend spend a little time relaxing. Things have been taken care of for the month and you’re ahead of the game for next month. So this is the perfect weekend to relax and be mellow.

Go out on an adventure, but watch your spending. Don’t splurge or spend more than you have in your budget. Find some of the community end of the summer events to enjoy. Ride a ferris wheel, visit a park or go for a country drive.

Spend time with your family and friends being sociable. Laugh and play through the weekend and you’ll re-energize your batteries. As well as, ease your mind of the worry you’ve been carrying this week.

Set a side some time for some spiritual attention too. It’s a great weekend to bathe in the light of the Full Moon and cleanse your space, both your body and home. Clear out the old clutter, the negative thoughts and the nagging nay-sayer recordings. Replace all that stuff that holds you back with positive energy and affirmations. Continue reading →

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Don’t hide your passion so much that no one knows what you’re really working toward. You won’t get any support if you’re expecting others to simply know by osmosis what you want in life. Don’t be afraid to be who you are and allow your magik to come out and grow. It’s ok to be an inspiration to others.

Additional Insight:

Wallowing in self-pity isn’t the answer to your problem. You’re expecting others to read your mind and simply know what you want or need. It doesn’t work that way. Not even in the best relationships can people read each others minds. You can’t read theirs, don’t expect them to read yours.

And no, leaving hints aren’t going to get it done either. Not everyone is good at picking up on the subtle comments about what you like or wish you could do. Not in this day and age where every moment of someone’s time includes their face in a digital device. So don’t assume the one you care about is paying full-time and attention to you. You’re not paying attention to them, so what do you expect?

If you want others to be part of your dream or goal then simply ask them to be. It’s not hard. It’s called communication. Don’t text, don’t write a blog post or a post on your FB page, or whatever. Actually look them in the eye and ask for some of their time. Turn off the phone or tablet or both and talk. Continue reading →

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Reserve judgement before you toot your horn. You might be accurate, but you don’t need to rub it in or degrade others. Allow your inner light to show compassion with your reason. Your status will grow with the return of respect and admiration for the way you argued the case.

Additional Insight:

You might have insight into a situation that others don’t have. But you don’t need to be arrogant or condescending about it. That will only push others off and cause more confrontation than there needs to be. You may not have the whole story either. So even if you think you’re sure about the situation, don’t rub it in or gloat.

Your perspective maybe well founded, but others look up to your views. The last thing you want to do is cause someone to lash out at someone or something that doesn’t warrant the response. You certainly don’t want to look like the person whose “holier than though” attitude instigated a response that causes harm.

Keep your rhetoric calm and factual. Don’t sensationalize or spin your tale in a way that riles emotions in your favor,  or against you either. By the end of the day, your impressions will pan out and once again you’ll have the opportunity to be admired. Getting noticed isn’t a bad thing in this case. But only if you reserve your words and actions, control your emotions and live by your own standards.

What goes around, comes around. Be careful how you use your words and respond to others today. They’re trying to bait you into a confrontation. Rise above and maintain your self respect. Stick to the facts, don’t make assumptions and use your wisdom to correct misconceptions. But don’t fight with those who are too blind to see. Live in your light and enjoy the day.

Additional Insight:

There are those who will cross your path and be angry at the world. It’s not your fault they got up on the wrong side of the bed. But don’t let them goad you into a fight that’s not of your making in the first place. Their fear and anxiety is theirs to carry and you can’t fix things for them.

Today is a good day to do your own thing. Get outside and recharge your batteries. Take a walk, sit in the sun and drink some tea, balance your energies. The Universe will spin with or without your personal interpretation. So allow others to spin their wheels and fall into the darkness of their own fear. You won’t save them by arguing. And you don’t need to fall into the pit with them.

Nor will you help through unsolicited advice. Remember that wisdom is attained through knowledge and experience. Don’t assume you’re the only person who’s been through “that” or gone through “this” and come out the other side. Sometimes people simply want to complain and “get it out”. They don’t want you to solve the problem or tell them what to do. They’ve probably already done all that anyway. Continue reading →

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

You can focus on patterns of strength, or patterns of anger. The choice is up to you. Strength will bring virtues that get you through the dark times and always keep you in the light. Anger will only weaken you and constantly keep you in harm’s way and under attack. The pattern you chose today will set up the rest of the year. Make sure you select the right path to move toward a prosperous future.

Additional Insight:

You don’t need to hide and worry yourself through the night in trepidation for what may never happen. With experience comes wisdom and the knowledge that fear is destructive and useless. Stop focusing on what you might lose, or what you may not have and focus on your strengths.

Use your tenacity to build a pattern of endurance, fortitude and stability. These things will allow you to see through the blocks that both you and others put before you. You’ll find the weakness in their argument, the weak link in their actions and you will be the one who gets through the fray.

Swords represent Strength & Weakness, Endurance & Struggle, Respect & Animosity. You have the Strength, you know you’ve acquired the Endurance. Now it’s time to Respect yourself and let go of the animosity, guilt, self loathing or whatever adjective that fits your perspective of self. Whatever it is you have left of the negative perceptions when you look in the mirror; time to let go and move on. Continue reading →

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Don’t allow those trying to jam up the machine to get you down. Your movement is not dictated by their actions. Move along and do what needs to get done in order to keep your passion going forward. The wheel of fortune is on your side and you’re the one who will reap the benefits through the weekend.

Additional Insight:

The fires of hate will only succeed if you allow them to heat up your anger and emotions. You don’t define who you are by their fear or lies. So don’t take it to heart or take it so personally. Their actions will come back to them and reap its own karma in their lives. There’s nothing you have to do.

There’s no reason to focus on the negative. Let those who have attacked you unfairly to spin their wheels and try to throw a cog in the wheels. It won’t do anything but show them for the negative people they are. It will expose the hidden secrets they’ve wanted to keep in the closet and maybe even save someone in their life from being hurt more than they already have been.

Today, turn your attention to promoting your own adventures and seeking your own way. It’s the same path, the same direction and the same enthusiasm you had a week ago. And perhaps this event has elevated your exposure to those who needed to see your presence in the world, but hadn’t noticed you before. Continue reading →
