Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Two of Cups – Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

What’s good for the Goose is good for the Gander. Remember, relationships are about give and take. Don’t be the side that only takes and gives nothing back. Words are wonderful things, but they only have meaning when they’re backed up with actions. The key to a long lasting relationship is holding the utmost respect for the one you’re with. Even when they’re not there with you.

Additional Insight:

Love is expressed through action, not just through words. And there are many ways to express the love you have for your partner and family. Cleaning the kitchen, doing the laundry, taking out the trash and changing the oil in the car are all examples of the little things we do for each other because we care and we love our partners.

You don’t have to bring home flowers, or go out to a fancy dinner to show your partner you love them. A simple touch on the shoulder, a hug at night before bed, even a phone call during the day simply to say “I needed to hear your voice” can go a long way to making your relationship filled with passion.

How you talk to and about your partner, whether in person or behind their back to others defines your relationship. If you put them down to your friends, they will develop opinions about your partner and treat them accordingly when they meet. They can either look down upon them, or they can hold them up with regard and kindness. But remember how you speak of them, will set up how they speak of you. Sometimes even if the “talk” is only in your head.

It goes a long way to showing your kids you care too. A note in their lunch box to let them know you’re proud of them will fill their day with pride. Having dinner at the kitchen table and not in front of the TV can make a big difference too.

It’s not the big things we do that say “I love you”. It’s the things you do for them when they’re not standing next to you. The right choices you make for your partnership. The words you say to others about them, behind their back. It’s all the little daily things that show it’s from the heart that matter.

You aren’t always in control of what goes on around you. But you are in control of how you react to it. It’s hard not to let the emotions of the day overwhelm you. But try not to let it get you into a funk. How you think creates how you feel and you can’t afford to be sick right now.

Additional Insight:

The hardships will pass. If there is one constant in the Divine Universe, it’s that all things change. How they change is up to you and you react to their tests of strength and fortitude.

No you can’t control the actions of others. No you can’t make people do what you think is right. All you can do is make choices that are best for you and those you care about and keep moving forward.

You’ve gone through so much already and you’ve survived. You’re still here putting up the good fight. That has more value than you realize. Focus on what you can control. Do things you need to do and if that means leaving someone behind in the process, then maybe they shouldn’t be in your life in the first place.

You can get through this. Believe it and you’ll make it happen.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knight of Cups

Apr25

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

A Knight is always vigilant, not only for danger but also for opportunities. Keep a watch out today and for the rest of the week. You may be conducting both a battle with an old foe and business with new connections. Be prepared and you’ll be able to take advantage of a lucky situation.

Additional Insight:

Luck is nothing more than preparedness meeting opportunity. Make sure you have your “equipment” and strategy in order and you’ll be able to take advantage of a situation where an old foe has failed. But don’t expect it to be a breeze to win the battle. There will be a small skirmish that you will win handily.

Simply keep your wits about you. Don’t allow others to bait you into a fight that causes you to lose control. If you allow your opponent to get under your skin, you’ll be seen as a radical that can’t be trusted to complete the job.

Instead allow your cool and calm attitude to overcome the obstacles, show off your talents and abilities. Ignoring the bait will allow you to take the prize. And in return, it will get under the skin of your old foe.

Remember revenge is best served cold. So be cold and calculating. Not hot and out of control. You have the intelligence and wisdom to control your day. So make it so!

Things are looking up if you’re willing to accept the compassion from unlikely sources. But be careful of those who simply want to ride on your coat tails. They may not deserve the extra effort on your part to pull them along. Nor should they be trusted for the long haul ahead.

Additional Insight:

It’s one thing to play the part of the fool and another to be foolish. It’s another day to be careful of someone who pretends to be on your side, but is only in it for themselves. Make sure your compassion is being given to the right party and for the right reasons. Trust is earned, it’s not given blindly.

You know the difference between being a friend and only acting the part. If you’re not sure who can keep a confidence, then keep your secrets to yourself. If you absolutely need someone to talk to, then find someone who’s business it is to keep quiet. Therapists, psychologists and clergy are good sources for that.

Sometimes the only person you can count on to look out for you, is you. Accept the compassion from others and celebrate the kindness of family and friends. But choose your confidences wisely, so you don’t get stabbed in the back later on.

It’s not always a good time to be so cynical, but today is one of those days. Trust your inner gut feelings, listen to your inner voice and you’ll find the way through the forest.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Wheel of Fortune – Inverted

Apr23

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Someone behind the scenes is undermining your progress. Be careful who you trust at this time. As others reap in the rewards, they are allowing weeds to grow over your progression and threatening your future. Their words are betraying their actions.

Additional Insight:

Be careful who you put your faith and trust into. It’s not ulterior motives against you that’s causing the problem. It’s the self serving interests that are causing the betrayal against you.

Someone is making claims of hardship that they can’t back up. Little hints of this are apparent, so be careful you’re not trying to view the situation with rose colored glasses or extending the benefit of the doubt where it’s not warranted.

It’s past time for you to retake control over your own wheel and make the effort to cut away the weeds. Complete the necessary tasks that you need to focus on that benefit YOU. Stop worrying about the lost time in service for others. They don’t really deserve it and it’s not doing you any good.

If you have paperwork to complete for your efforts, focus on that. If you have individuals to contact for your area of work, seek them out. If you need to work on you plan to help manifest your dream, then give it your time and attention today. If nothing else, it will restore hope within your own domain that isn’t there now.

The day is filled with healing from within. Only your perspective can determine how successful you can become. If you hold the anger and frustration within, you’ll fall flat today and limit the possibilities. Allow your heart to heal and be open to the opportunities of the day. Otherwise, you may miss something you’ve been longing to hear.

Additional Insight:

“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.”
~ Zig Ziglar

If you keep the wounds bottled up inside, they will anchor you in the past and you’ll never be able to move forward. If you open yourself to inner healing you can fill the balloon and rise above the fray to see the world of possibilities.

Take time to go within and focus your attention on healing and letting go of the grudges of the past. You’ve come so far, but you’re still holding onto the end of the rope attached to that anchor. Let it go and forget about the time wasted and the relationships lost. You didn’t need them in the first place.

Chalk the past experience up to a side quest that provided you with the knowledge and experience for making the real mission a success. You got what you needed out of it and moved on when you were done. The only thing left to do is accept the certificate of graduation and apply what you learned to your current experience.

Only you can decide how high your balloon can go. Release the anchor that’s keeping you grounded in the past and let fly the opportunities of success and wonder. You can do this!

Take time to align your energies with the Divine essence in your life. When you stay connected to higher purpose, you allow your soul to see the forest, and the trees that provide assistance and benefit to your day.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Share the abundance of heart and home with those you care for. It’s not what money buys that they want from you. It’s the quality of your time and attention. They need to know you’re listening and actually hearing what they have to say, even if it’s mindless chit chat. Everyone needs someone to talk to.

Additional Insight:

We all have multiple things on our plate many issues that demand our time. But you’re never too busy for those who are important in your life.

Don’t spend your entire weekend focused on work, or the little chores that you want to get done. Make sure you have quality time with your family too. Taking time to enjoy life is just as important as the work you feel must get done.

Re-examine your priorities. Relationships take work to maintain and succeed. How much work will depend on the quality of time, not necessarily the quantity of time you give to them. If you’re not willing to make the effort, they may find someone else who is willing.

Taking a break isn’t only for those in your life, it’s for you too. You will get back the attention to give to others. If you allow your stress to constantly give out anger and hateful words, that’s what you’ll get back. If you want a hug, understanding and a smile, then that’s what you’ll have to give.

Keep dreaming, but if you want them to come true you’ll have to work for them. That might mean working on something you don’t want to do for now. But that doesn’t mean you can’t put focus and energy into planning your dream today.

Additional Insight:

Dreams take planning and organization. So start making notes, learning, researching and build a firm foundation for your dream. You’ll make it sustainable if you do the work up front.

Keep a note pad with you and when you think of an idea, write it down. Even if the note pad is on your phone! If you see something that inspires your dream, take a picture of it and file it away with a note. Pinterest is GREAT for this idea.

Take time to read the experiences of others who created a dream similar to yours. Learn from their mistakes so you don’t make them while bringing yours into reality.

Look for free classes offered by your local Parks and Recreation department, or local government. Or any professional group who maybe offering courses at the local college. You can even find online lectures through webcasts that can provide a wealth of information for getting started, planning and bringing your dream into reality.

Don’t simply day-dream. Bring your visions into reality with preparation and the luck will manifest as needed.

Be cautious about the choices you make for nourishment. Whither it be food or food for thought, you need to make healthy choices today. You instinctively know what you need, so listen to that inner voice and avoid the things (or people) who are bad for you. Tomorrow, you’ll be glad you did.

Additional Insight:

We nourish our body and spirit in many ways. Through food yes, but also through the company we keep. You know what and who isn’t good for you. Stop giving in to the ‘easy’ choices and take a stand for your future and govern your own domain.

It might be easy to drop by the fast food joint, but you won’t get value for your dollar in their version of a healthy choice. And that friend that wants you to skip class, or a meeting doesn’t have your best interest to heart. They’re in self destruct mode and you need no part of that right now.

The choices you make today will set up the consequences of tomorrow; and perhaps the events for the rest of your life. So if you don’t want to be a teen parent, an unemployed statistic or patient in the ER; then you need to step back and take a moment to think about the invitations you receive today.

You are the one who will make a difference in your life. It’s your responsibility to feed and nourish your body and spirit for the betterment of your mission. If you need a break, take a walk. Walk around a building, or walk ALL the halls inside the building. Walk to the deli at the grocery store for a healthy salad. You know the options you have to make it work out in your favor today. Make them work “for” you, not against you.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Emperor

Apr16

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You are the ruler of your domain and it’s up to you to create a shield of protection over what’s yours. That doesn’t mean lashing out at others for being near you, or offering assistance. You must practice judgement with balanced fairness; not with unfounded rumor. The later could get you in hot water. Show compassion and wisdom and you’ll be successful in winning the day.

Additional Insight:

The Emperor doesn’t make rash decisions. He doesn’t jump out of his chair and start swinging his sword at the first hint of bad news. And nor should you. You must take time today for patience to root out the truth behind the events affecting your world. Ignore the claims that sensationalize what’s going on around you. And make sure you are questioning everything your told in order to investigate which stories are real and which are not.

There are many who want to deceive you and lead you down a path of physical action before you’re ready to do so. Don’t sign the dotted line until you read the fine print. Don’t say yes or no to a decision until you think it through and investigate the consequences of each choice. Don’t give in to someone elses selfish desires, when you’re not sure you share those desires.

In the end you are the one who has to live with the consequences of your actions. All the advice will mean nothing then, and those advisers may walk away clean and clear from any accountability. If you want to be the ruler of your domain, you must act like it and make your own decisions based on your own discovery of information.
