Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Sun

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

The support you have is solid as stone and will nurture you into success. The blood you have spilt has not been for naught. And out of the struggle has been born a gift that will always be yours to treasure. Let your light shine brightly and lead the way for those who are still in the darkness.

Additional Insight:

If you can make it, others will be inspired to succeed as well. Don’t give in yet. Yellow is the color of success and there is much of that in the Sun. She is the mother of endurance, growth, and spiritual enlightenment.

Allow her rays to keep you warm, to help you see the way ahead and help you direct her energy toward the achievement and success you’ve been working so hard to claim as yours.

There are still fights clamoring at your ankles. But don’t give into their negative attacks. They won’t draw blood and they won’t overwhelm your day, if you don’t give into attempts to pull you back into battle.

Keep a level head and walk with pride and confidence. You’ve earned the right to step out into the light. You’ve tended your garden of hopes and dreams. Now hold your head up and see your garden in full bloom as the Sun springs forth to shine her spotlight on you.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: King of Wands –

Jul26

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Being the Boss means making the tough decisions and carrying the weight of the world on your own shoulders. Stop trying to dodge your responsibilities and take control of you life. You can’t blame someone else for the things you’ve failed to do. Get up and get moving.

Additional Insight:

Wands represent the essence of Enterprise, Inspiration and Distinction. The King is the ruler over these things. You control the enterprise that is your life. You control how your inspiration is expressed and put into motion. And you control the distinction of character that others associate with you.

If you continually pass the buck, you are doing a disservice to your own creative inspiration. If you refuse to take responsibility for your own actions, you diminish your value and decrease your inspiration that will help solve issues and deal with problems.

Yes you depend on others for some things. But remember they depend on you as well. If they’re trying to do the work and failing because of what’s out of their control; don’t be angry at them. Support them. And then work on what you need to do in order to create what’s needed for the team or partnership.

You have big dreams for your own enterprise. But what are you doing to bring them into manifestation? Are you waiting on others to do your tasks for you? Are you creating the strong foundation you need to build your Enterprise upon? Have you created the plan and the steps you know are needed at this point to get things going?

It’s ok if you don’t know it all. Don’t let that scare you into not doing something or giving it chance. Everyone learns as they go, by doing research, talking to others and making things happen. Work on building your dream from the bottom up. Create the foundation from which all other things will spring forth.

Believe in yourself, but remember you still have responsibilities to take care of. Even if that means putting the Enterprise aside for a few hours. Get it done, and you’ll be able to get back to making the dream a reality.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Fool Inverted

Jul25

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t be the fool and allow flowers to grow beneath your feet. You must get up and start moving to get things done. Sitting there and feeling sorry for yourself isn’t going to change things or make things happen. Come on, you can do this!

Additional Insight:

Just because someone told something was going to happen, doesn’t mean you can sit back and wait. You have things that need to get done to bring forth the change you’ve been waiting for.

Be cautious of those who say they know for sure that this is going to happen or that isn’t going to happen. Cover your bases and do what needs to be done to maintain control of your own destiny.

The messenger may have motives you don’t know about or they may simply be incompetent. Whether it’s a co-worker, a boss, a lawyer or a psychic; what’s going on is happening to you and it’s your life. You are responsible for it.

Look at the fine print, get a second opinion, ask someone who has the skills or knowledge of what’s really happening. But above all else, do what needs to be done to take care of your life. Be accountable for your actions, take responsibility for your deeds and what happens in your life.

There’s no magik to making things run smoothly. It simply takes work, research and effort. Now get to it.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Seven of Pentacles

Jul24

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Nurture yourself. Allow your creative energy to find a way of expressing itself. Not only will others be interested in what you create, but it will sustain you through moments of stress and anxiety. It’s one of the best ways to change your mindset and outlook from one of negativity to one of positive possibilities.

Additional Insight:

If you focus on something else, you’ll pull yourself out of the funk you’re in. Your mindset is the key to making it through the day. So stop thinking about what you don’t have and start thinking about what you can create.

If you like making things with your hands, go through the drawers and cabinets of your home and find materials to create something. Walk through your yard, or the local park and find things there. If you draw or paint, I’m sure you have something in your home to use as a canvas. Even if it’s simply a piece of computer paper or the back of an old letter you received.

Allowing your creative energy to flow will not only change your attitude, it will provide an outlet for your restless energy. Especially if you’ve been stuck at home.

Even if you’re the only one who will see it, it’s an important viewing to you! Don’t discount the value of doing something, even if you’re only doing it for you! Course, you could find a way to take a picture of it and post it on your Facebook page, or start a new Pinterest account. Sometimes sharing with the world does the trick when you feel disconnected from humanity.

And if you don’t feel like you’re one of those who can make crafts with your hands, use your head. Perhaps you’re more analytical and like working on your computer. That’s ok too, it’s still a method of creation. Write, use your favorite graphics package and draw something. Learn about something, maybe blogging would be your thing. You won’t know until you give it shot.

So whether it’s knitting, painting, wood working, gardening, digital graphics, writing or blogging; your creative energy is waiting to express itself and show the world what you’re capable of. You might even be surprised at how many people are interested in what you have to share! But more importantly, what you put out, you will pull toward you and create more of the same.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Two of Swords

Jul23

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It takes two to fight. If you remain inside your bubble of protection, the anger and hate from others won’t be able to bait you into their trap. And those who want someone to commiserate in their misery won’t be able to take you down either. Stay in your shield of strength and focus on your things!

Additional Insight:

Allow your spiritual connection to the Divine in your life, provide the strength that allows you to move forward. Don’t let the frustration and anger of others to pull you down or hold you back.

Focus on your thing and you’ll be able to shut out the world and avoid the hateful tone and negative talk. Keep your connection to the Divine above and Mother Earth below to maintain your own balance.

You can’t fix their problems and you’ve spent enough time being someone else’s punching bag. It’s not your fault someone in traffic cut them off, or the person in line before them got the last cup of coffee at the convenient store, or they keep getting phone calls from people they don’t want to talk to, or their computer is slow and not doing what they want it to. So why are they yelling at you and sending all their anger in your direction? Because you’ve allowed them to. So stop allowing it.

Walk away, put on your headphones, go outside and take a short walk. Close the door to your office and clear the energy from the area around you. Make sure you push the negative energy out and set your shield to protect your space. Whether it’s an office, cubical, your room at home, or your favorite space in the corner; your shield will help you maintain an even keel and sail with ease through the day.

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

Jul22

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Searching for strength? You’ll find it within. Pay attention to what’s on your plate and keep your nose out of other people’s business. You have enough to take care of and deal with. Clear your energy and put a force-field in place, starting from within the center of your being. The negativity and angst will not serve you well today.

Additional Insight:

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in what other people are doing, we forget to take care of ourselves. If you’re feeling drained, that’s because you haven’t taken care of your own needs lately. Sometimes shutting the world out for a day or two can help you refocus and re-energize. You need that today.

This is the perfect time to sit down for 5 minutes and clear out the negative flow of energy that has been hanging over you for the past few weeks. Push out the stress and anxiety, let go of the anger and guilt. None of these things are serving you well and they’re only taking more energy to deal with than is necessary.

The key to clearing away negative feelings is to start within the center of your being and push it out. Many people set a shield of protection without doing this first; but that only traps the negativity inside your bubble. You want to get it out of there!

Take some time for a 5 minute Clearing and Healing meditation. Considering this is a full moon night, you might like to incorporate this healing meditation with a Grand Mother Moon Ritual as well.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Six of Wands – Inverted

Jul19

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t triumph yet, you still have unfinished business to attend to and someone is waiting for you to do it. While you’re celebrating, remember what you promised someone else you’d do. Keep the trust others have put in you intact. And remember, in business your reputation is everything. In life, it’s the only thing.

Additional Insight:

There’s a difference between important and imperative. While your work has been important, it’s not what has needed your attention. Ignoring what’s imperative tells those you’ve promised, they’re not at all important or worse you have no respect for their needs.

Don’t promise if you’re not going to deliver. It destroys the trust others have put in you, along with the respect they have for you.

When others are depending on you, prioritize who’s needs are more dire. The guy down the street might be important to business and bring in that large cash prize. But your promise is important to the one you gave it too. And regardless of what it costs you, the trust it creates will always be the one thing you cannot buy.

Step up and be the one that others know they can depend on. Make sure your reputation is one of good standing and respected above all else. Doing so will create the good karma you need to make your life a success, in business, in friendship and at home with family.

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

Jul18

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You cannot triumph over adversity if you’re stabbing someone in the heart to do it. Your actions speak louder than words today. Focusing on the “green” monster at the cost of what’s really important in your life is not success. Be careful about what you sacrifice. You may not be able to get it back.

Additional Insight:

If you are ignoring those who care about you and have supported you all this time, they may feel you’ve turned your back on them. Even though the hard work you’re putting in is for them, they may think what’s more important is the time they get to spend with you. Here in the U.S., the money monster is “green”, it maybe a different color where you are. But what ever color it is, it isn’t the most valuable thing in your life.

Swords deal with strength and success when upright. But stress and strife are prominent when inverted. Every deals with stress in their own way. Some shut down and block out the world. Some sit in the darkness, or sleep through the day, others cry, and then there are those who yell and scream about anything that doesn’t work their way. Don’t adversely judge those for doing what they do, when your response is to throw yourself into a project that ignores all others around you.

Balance in life means saving time for those you love as much as it does for working when it’s time to do so. If you reach the top and have the financial abundance you seek, but have no one to share it with; what value does that success really have?

No expects you not to care about lost hope, or the struggles to feed and care for your family. But at least twice a week, you should be putting their presence in your life up front and at the top of the list. The abundance of love is equally important in your life. It gives you strength to endure, courage to fight and holds you up to face one more day. There really is something to the old adage “Love conquers all”.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Chariot

Jul17

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Searching for balance may lead you in an unexpected direction. It’s time to decide if what you want is really what you need. Perhaps it’s time to let go of the things that have let you down and move forward to the things that will fulfill your own mission.

Additional Insight:

Nothing in life is merely black or white. Look at your path with balance, not ego. Real life is filled with a lot of gray areas that impact the road before you. It’s not as simple as taking this road in order to build that road.

The path you take has many projects that need your attention along the way. Each one will build upon the other and pave the road before you. If you skip activities along the way your path will be fraught with an uneven surface, pot holes and crossed lines. And you may even lose some of the precious cargo you’re carrying with you.

Tunnel vision is never a good thing in life. Not only will you lose those you care about most, you’ll also miss out on the beauty of the world that exists all around you. Stop ignoring everything else and bring balance back into your life.

If you’re in a partnership, remember it takes both of you to make things work. Putting on blinders undermines your partners contribution and shows you don’t respect their opinion or ideas. If your ideas are faltering, then perhaps it’s time to listen to the one person who has your best interest at heart. The balance of energy from both of you will rebuild broken ties that have held you together and balance not only your energy, but it will empower and strengthen the path you tread together for success.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

The only reason to look back is to see where mistakes were made and learn from them. Stop beating yourself up over what should have been, but wasn’t. The guilt will not move you forward, nor will it allow you to be free of the past. Get over it and start making the right moves forward.

Additional Insight:

You can’t change the past. All you can do is change the way you allow the past to affect your present and your future. – Springwolf

We all have done things we wish we hadn’t done, or had done differently. Feeling guilty over the choices you made will not make a difference for tomorrow. The events behind you will still be there and still be in the same context as they were then. Beating yourself up about it will not change anything.

But learning from the lesson and applying that knowledge to choices in the here and now will make a difference. It will help you let go and move forward with greater understanding and wisdom. Where as the guilt is only an anchor holding you in the past and doomed to repeat the lessons you’re to learn.

If you feel you must apologize to someone, or try to make amends, write them a letter or call them on the phone. And if you feel you can’t do that, write the letter anyway and hold a private ceremony to connect with them through the Divine spirit in your life. Sending energy of sorrow for the pain you caused, and forgiveness for the actions taken; safely set your letter on fire and allow the words to be carried upon the smoke to the intended recipient.

Remember, forgiveness isn’t for others; it’s for you to let go and move on from the past mistakes that keep you chained in the negativity that no longer belongs in this moment. Let it all go and be free to face the bright light of the future again.
