Take some time to think before you make your final decision. Things are going to change when you sign the dotted line. Make sure you understand exactly how much they’ll change. Read the fine print and ensure you contemplate everything in your day, week, life that will be impacted. If you don’t, you could be giving away something you never intended to let go. The issue might be easily resolved with a little tweak of language. So don’t rush through your choices.

Additional Insight:

Something may sound like the deal of a lifetime, but you need to make sure you fully understand the fine print before you accept the offer. Once you do, there’s no going back and you won’t be able to un-do what has been agreed to.

Your uneasiness should be a warning to you that something in the deal isn’t right for you. It may not be an intentional attempt to manipulate you. But then again, it will be hard to tell if you don’t see the problem in the contract up front. Make sure you’re looking for what is there that might need to be altered and what isn’t there that should be included.

Read it through no matter how long it takes, or how impatient the other party becomes. You can easily tell them you want to take a few hours to read and digest the paperwork. Or explain you don’t feel comfortable with this and would like some legal advice before you sign. Ask if you can take it with you, or if you can have an hour or two. If they say no, then you should hear that as a clear answer NOT to take the deal! Don’t get pressured into doing something that’s not in your best interest in the long run. 

You are responsible for your choices. Feel empowered and confident to stand up for yourself. You’ll be able to catch the issue, make a counter offer to change the wording and clear up the confusion. Any deal worth having will be gladly agreed to and you’ll end the day feeling better about the entire situation.

A Little Numerological Look At Today’s Message:
This is the 880th post on my blog and for some reason that number caught my attention. If you’ve been reading my daily drawings, you know that when this happens I take a little extra time to derive the Shamanistic Numerological meaning of the number in question.

Seven – The number of higher existence, the Divine realm (as in 7th Heaven), the spiritual world or spiritual body.

• This number is associated with Saturn.
• This number is associated with the Willow Tree.
• This number is associated with the Beaver.
• It represents the Divine within (the higher consciousness), The Divine Universe as a whole (all consciousness connected). It’s more of a Divine place, rather than entity.  Such as Avalon, Heaven, Valhalla etc.
• Positive Direction: 7 places an emphasis on the esoteric, scholarly aspects of magik. It represents wisdom and knowledge, a higher view or long term vision of things. The understanding of being accountable for your choices and actions, but not through making critical judgements.
• Negative Direction: 7 can place too much importance on knowledge without exercising its wisdom. Brutally honest at times when there needs to be a soft touch of compassion. Though 7 doesn’t often make negative judgements, the need to be needed and helpful can get one into trouble.

The number matched the message from today’s card. Use a higher understanding to implement the wisdom behind your knowledge. Make sure you’re thinking about how things will apply to your path in the long term. Not doing so, could take away your ability to feel valued.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

What you’re facing today is tied to your past. But don’t react with the same inconsistent behavior you once had. You’re not the same person and you have learned a lot about yourself and who you are since that time. So make sure you’re looking at the issue with more enlightened vision and wisdom. You’re not going at this alone. So stop acting as if you are!

Additional Insight:

Stop expecting others to act and react the way they have in your past. Their not the same people and they have changed as much as you have. You’re expectations is not only doing them a disservice, it’s also causing you to replay events in your life that aren’t even present!

You’re acting as if everything is on your shoulders, because that’s the way it’s been before. But that’s not the case today and you know it. But by treating others as if they have no care, stress or anxiety over the events in the present time, you are forcing them through a doorway they wouldn’t normally go. You’re forcing them to react the way you expect them to, because you’re still playing the part of victim.

Be careful which doors you try to open and push others through. They may surprise you and slam those doors in your face and walk through the door of their own choosing that you never noticed. People try to stand by your side and support you, will only do so for as long as you allow them to. So if you keep shutting them out, eventually they’ll stop knocking to get back in.

It can be hard to break old patterns and let go of old hurts. There are a lot of thorns falling across the path, but you have the ability to walk over them and leave them in the past. You can forgive what has been and turn your attention to what is and can be. All you have to do, is unfreeze your heart and show compassion to yourself and those who are close to you. They’re really trying hard to be there and ride things through with you. Give them the love, kindness and respect they deserve. It will go a long way to helping everyone keep things together. .

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t be stubborn and pout all day. No one is going to want to help you when you’re being angry and holding a defeatist attitude. If you want things to work out, you’re going to have to learn to communicate your feelings. And don’t expect others to simply “know” how you feel. They can’t read your mind! Take responsibility for how you feel. If you don’t like it, you’re the only one who can change it.

Additional Insight:

No one is going to simply “know” how you feel about something anymore than you “know” how they feel. So don’t hold them to a standard of understanding that even you can’t stand up to.

If you feel hurt by something, then the first thing to do is take ownership of that feeling. But don’t blame someone else for how you’ve chosen to feel. Look at yourself and ask “why do I feel upset about this”? You might have a legitimate reason, but you should also make sure you’re not blaming someone who’s in your life today for the baggage you’re caring from the past.

No relationship, of any kind, is going to be perfect and go through every day life without conflict. If you’re looking for that kind of special relationship, you might as well stop now. People have arguments and disagreements. It’s how you handle those conflicts that make the difference between a successful relationship and one that fails. Those relationships that you think of as perfect and long to have, implement one key characteristic; complete Respect for each other. Without respect on both sides, you’re in for a rocky relationship.

There are many ways to communicate your feelings. If you care for someone, you’ll refrain from degrading them, in public or private. Blaming them for how you feel is not only unfair, it’s disrespectful to you both. “When you did this, I felt like this” is ten times better than “You made me feel like..”. Never start a sentence with “You made me”. Ever!

If you want someone to act a certain way, then explain your position. Let them know what you “wish” they would do. But remember that if you’re expecting them to change who they are to suit you, then you’re setting yourself up to fail. Would you chance who you are for someone else? It’s not easy to change. But you can agree to respect each other for who and what you are. To help each other get over the hurts of the past and be there for each other when one of you needs to be strong for the other.

Respect will win the day, especially when you hold it with love and compassion. And when you take responsibility for your own actions and reactions to the world around you. Remember though, that until you hold respect for yourself, you’re going to have a hard time respecting others around you. Look in a mirror and make sure you like the person looking back at you.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Lessons of the spirit are in play as you weave through the tasks and projects of the day. You have the tools and the resources to get things going. All you need now is to believe in yourself and put your skills to work.  Don’t become overly confident. There’s still a lot to do and much to put into place for success. And be careful of using too much misdirection to perform your magik. An adversary will take notice and use it against you, even though it’s a staple of the trade.

Additional Insight:

The table is set and the practice is complete, now you need to put your faith in your skills and get to work. Keep your energy balanced; believe in yourself, but don’t become egotistical and arrogant as if you know it all. No more excuses. And be grateful for the opportunity to do your work.

The Magician is part of the Major Arcana and tells us that spiritual matters are at work in the details of what we do today. Stay Mindful. Keep your eyes and perspective on the ultimate goal and work for your passion. But don’t allow your passion to consume your work.

There are always things we must do, that we don’t want to do, in order to get to where we want to be. That doesn’t mean you must sell your soul to achieve success. In fact, it means the exact opposite. Those who rush in and sacrifice everything in order to hurry up the process to attain the dream, never last in the long term. Don’t be a flash in the pan and fade away before you’ve even taken the stage.

Everything happens in its right time and place. Don’t rush the process of walking your path. You can’t jog across the bridge until you have finished building the support beams to hold your magikal cart of supplies and survival gear. The road ahead can be bumpy and filled with pot holes. Or it can be a smooth ride where you can take time to enjoy the scenery as you travel forward in balance and calm serenity.

It’s up to you. Make sure you’re not pushing before you’re ready. But make sure you’re working from a place of Divine Consciousness within, so you remain humble, grateful and successful over the long haul.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You’re in control of your destiny. The choices you make today will define the rest of your life. Make sure you’re following the path of justice and respect. The path of rumor and accusation is a negative road that has been designed to distract your view, manipulate your thoughts and shade the truth. There’s always two sides to a story. Make sure you know what they are, before you point fingers, join the mob, or make decisions you’ll later regret.

Additional Insight:

You are the high Priest of your personal world. It’s up to you to heal the old wounds you hold within yourself. No one else can do it for you. But it’s from this time of introspection and spiritual search that others may try to take advantage of you.

Don’t let the anger, hate or ulterior motives of others disrupt your desires to walk forward with a better understanding of yourself and the world around you. If they’re not willing to be part of your journey, then you may need to leave them behind and walk ahead by yourself. You will find others along the path who have much more positive energy to offer. 

Something is not what it seems to be. Don’t fall into the trap of condemnation that comes from spreading rumors, innuendo and lies, you will build a bridge to nowhere and find yourself in the valley of disrespect and accusation yourself. What you put out and participate in, even quietly, will create a similar path that you will tread one day. If you don’t want to be on the receiving end of the accusations, than stand up for those who are their victims today. Walk your talk and show compassion through your words and actions.

No matter what walk of life, what age or region of the world, there is always a bully trying to defame and tear down someone who tries to hold them accountable for their actions. Whither it’s kids in school, a boss in the work place, a politician trying to hide their skeletons, no one walks this Earth without regret. Don’t point your fingers and call the latest victim names and help the bullies tear them down.

Be brave and true to your spiritual beliefs and perspectives. Take the time to look at both sides of the story and find the facts. Don’t allow those who are yelling the loudest be the ones that write a tale of untruths and manipulate you into following a path you wish you had not taken. Be the spiritual leader of your own destiny and live true to your beliefs and what you’re trying to become. The peace of mind and calm serenity you find, maybe your own.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You still have abundance in your life even though you think you’ve lost everything. Stop dwelling on the negative. You’re liable to make it become a self fulfilling prophecy. Focus on what you do have and use it as inspiration to grow and expand to what you need. Inaction is the real enemy at this point in time. Just Do something!

Additional Insight:

Stop waiting for the bottom to fall out! You still have control over your life and you still have skills and resources that will help you develop what you need to turn things around. The more you wait for the cups to drain out, the more you’ll lose and then you might find you really have lost it all!

You don’t have to have it all to get started on what’s needed. Take time to make little steps that build the bridge. Every step is another plank across the gorge below and gets you closer to the other side. So you don’t have to build the entire bridge before you begin your crossing.

Yes there are steps you need to take before you start other activities. If you don’t know what those are, than the first steps should be sitting down, planning, organizing and outlining a process map for how to get from here to there. Just make out your To Do list and detail each item in chronological order.

Do a little research online to see what others might have done in your situation, or you might even find a an organized list that someone else has already made for what you need to do as a template to get started! You’ll find new avenues that might open up possibilities you didn’t expect or think of. You’ll find holes in the process that you need to think about before you begin. You’ll also discover that there’s not as much to this as you think and it really is do’able. There’s no excuses!

Come on! Stop the grumbling and fearful self talk. You keep telling yourself you’re going move on, stand tall and over come. So do it! It’s the perfect day to get it all done and get the ball rolling down the right hill. You can do this! No matter how small or how big the project or idea is. You have the tools in your hands to get it going and manifest what you need in your life today!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stop poking holes in everything. There are some good ideas out there and you might want to listen to a few. You’re not the only one who can come up with solutions to the problem. No idea is perfect. If you’re going to play Devils Advocate, make sure you’re also offering solutions to the problems you see with the ideas floating around the room. And make sure you give credit where it’s due!

Additional Insight:

Some people are good at being inspired and seeing beyond the problem. They can come up with unique ideas and visual solutions that you may not be able to see. But if you keep poking holes at what they have to offer, they’re going to become discouraged and unappreciated. You’ll shut them down entirely and they’ll start to feel as though they don’t want to help you at all.

It’s ok to play Devils Advocate when you’re brainstorming. But would it hurt you to say “that’s a good idea, how can we over come this issue or that problem”. You don’t have to start every sentence with “That won’t work”.

Everyone likes to feel as though they are being listened to and have a sense of value. They may not have your expertise, but through their fresh eyes of learning you may discover something you only assumed through years of doing the same thing every day. That kind of experience creates habits that keep you from looking at new things and fresh ideas. Things change. And there maybe something new that inexperienced beginner knows, that you don’t know.

Everyone in life comes into situations with varying levels of understanding. Old school might be a good thing most of the time, but new school has some innovations that can make things easier, faster, better and more relevant. Don’t dismiss anyone simply because you think you know it all. Chances are you don’t and you maybe pushing away the best idea that’s hit your desk in years!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It’s your own anger and frustration that are keeping you tied up and unable to get free. In order to for the bindings to loosen and fall away you must first find compassion for yourself and your situation. Take time to look for the lesson you’re refusing to learn.

Additional Insight:

The more you fight against change, the tighter you make the ropes that hold you in your current situation. Your anger over past events that can’t be changed, and current events that are frustrating and out of your control are material that have forged your bindings.

Things really aren’t as bad as you’ve created them to be in your head. Rather it’s your own refusal to let go of those things that no longer serve you in the here and now, and you anger at being pushed forward that are making everything harder than it needs to be.

You must relax, stop and take a breath. You must begin to show compassion, kindness and love for yourself. This has been a theme for the first month of this new year. Being kinder to yourself, stop being your own worst enemy, forgive yourself for the choices you’ve made in the past and love yourself for the good things you see within you.

You have the power to be who you’re meant to be in this life. And you are the perfect reflection of the Divine Spirit for the mission your soul is here to complete. All you need to do is stop fighting so hard against who you are and who your soul is trying to guide you to be.

Take time today and this weekend to clear and cleanse your energies. Get a fresh start for the rest of the year. Live up to your own potential and what YOU have come here to do. Not what others say you’re here to do, or what family members say you must do. But what your own soul and spirit know is within your heart and mind to do. Live your passion and everything else will fall into place.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Within each of us is a star trying to be nurtured and hatched within ourselves. You don’t have to sell your soul to make your dreams come true. You don’t have to give away all the things about yourself that make you who you are. Don’t change for others because they demand it. Change those things you don’t like about yourself and nurture the rest. Hold yourself in high esteem and respect. Be humble and compassionate to others. And you will be able to let your star streak across the sky where others can see your beauty too.

Additional Insight:

Represent the essence of Enterprise & Inaction, Inspiration & Pessimism, Distinction & Disregard.

Don’t disregard your own dreams and ambitions. No one else can live your life for you. So no one else has the right to force you down a path you don’t really want to go. Whither by force or manipulation, no one has your best interests to heart more than your inner spirit. So take some time to sit down and figure out what YOU truly want from within your own soul. You might surprise yourself.

Living a life of complete happiness means allowing your inner soul to speak and guide you down the road you choose to tread. You came here with a mission and there maybe many paths in front of you that will help you manifest that mission. Someone who has decided to be a healer can study hard and become a doctor, nurse or even a spiritual holistic healer. And even on each of those healing paths, are more roads to choose from. A surgeon specializing in neuroscience, a nurse specializing in pediatric care or a healer specializing in Reiki can all complete the mission your spirit decided to work on before you were even a glint in your mother’s eyes.

No one can know what your mission is, but you. Give yourself the respect to go within and accept the gift of knowing and understanding from your higher conscious self, your soul. Give yourself the courage to walk the path you were meant to lead, and stop taking the paths others expect you to follow. It’s your life. You should be the guide for it.

A little Shamanistic Numerology today.
When I published this post, WordPress told me it was the 860th post and that number caught my attention. As you know if you’ve read my blog in the past, I like to analyze numbers when they shine a light on themselves. So here goes.

Five – The number of chaos and force, influences, and creation.

• This number is associated with Jupiter.
• This number is associated with the Holly Tree.
• This number is associated with the Wolf.
• It represents Chaos and Creation (out of chaos comes creation).
• Positive Direction: The number of leadership and the executive. This is the number of optimism and vision. Being able to see through the chaos and create success. Those with 5 in their life are assured of their own ability to succeed and create success even in adversity. They are adventurous and easily take risks.
• Negative Direction: 5 can sometimes be too risky and make decisions based on a whim instead of inner intuition and research. They can over simplify, or live in a perspective of what could be instead of what is. While this might be beneficial in business, it’s detrimental in relationships and family.

Fitting for a card that says for you to be the leader of your own path.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

The end of a difficult time is at hand. Those who have looked within, been honest with themselves and worked to change the things they do not like about their character or actions will triumph. Those who continue to point fingers and blame others for their trials, will continue to struggle. You are responsible for your thoughts, your voice and your deeds. Make sure you are accepting your accountability in the matters at hand, even if it means being brutally honest with yourself.

Additional Insight:

No one else is responsible for the choices you have made in life. No one controls your thoughts, what you say or your actions to put those thoughts and words into practice. If you are not honest with yourself about what you do, and constantly blame others, you will not change the path you tread.

Only you can change you. No one else can learn your lessons for you any more than you can learn lessons for them. Stop yelling at others and blaming other people for the fix you’re in now. They didn’t make the choices for you. You could have stepped up to the plate and gotten into the game long ago when your support was needed. You could have been cautious or conservative those many years ago when the material world was dangled in front of you.

You could stopped drinking, or doing the drugs before it landed you out of a job or relationship. You could have accepted the help that was offered you instead of holding onto your unrealistic pride. You could start loving yourself for who you are and what you look like and stop finding fault where there is none. You could have listened to the warnings from your friends and family about that person you said you were in love with, maybe you too would have seen the writing on the wall. 

All that self negative talk we do every day in hindsight doesn’t change the past once single bit. All it does is hold us in disrespect of ourselves and keep the blinders on from what’s really needed. And that’s to love ourselves.

When we can love self and forgive ourselves for the past mistakes, we can begin to look honestly at the choices we’ve made. We can see the mistakes and using compassion learn to understand why we made those choices at that time in our lives. We can accept those faults or failings and make the conscious choices to innovate, adapt and overcome them in the here and now. We can align our thoughts with the Divine force in our life and see the path forward from a higher view that allows us to make better choices and direct our path down the more welcoming road.

We all have the choice to change those things about our self that holds us back. But first we must be able to love the self enough to be brutally honest and look within.  You can only change yourself, but that will change how others respond to you.
