Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Through healing you will find the success you need to overcome the day’s challenges. Don’t over react and play the part of the fool. Face each issue as if it has already been solved.  When you allow anger and frustration to get in the way, you only make things worse than they are. Be calm and collected so you can think and speak clearly to explain the details. What you thought was a problem may actually be nothing at all.

Additional Insight:

All the little things that need to be resolved could pile up and result in overwhelming frustration. Take a few minutes in between each item on your list and clear your senses from the last encounter that has your nerves on edge. Stay focused and resolved, but do it with clarity and calmness.

It’s going to be a day that tests all that you have learned. Being Mindful, making sure you’re not passing judgements on others without compassion. You don’t know all the details behind their struggles or what hardships they may have beneath the surface.

Allow your anchor of calm to balance your view and relieve your own tension. Push out the stress to the Divine realm and let it all dissipate before you take on the next task. You’ll be able to think more clearly, listen with better ears and see with more understanding eyes. You’ll be able to see things for what they are and not what your anger has turned them around to be. Continue reading →

You will get more done hiding behind a mask and ignoring the outside world. Others want to goof off and start their weekend early. Let them go while you stick to the grind stone and get the last things done that need to be accomplished ASAP. Follow your instincts and don’t give into the pressure of going out to play just yet. You’ll have plenty of time this weekend to relax and you’ll feel so much better when things are off your plate.

Additional Insight:

Those that are trying to annoy you into shirking your responsibilities either don’t have the issues you’re dealing with, or they’re too busy running away from their own responsibilities.

Don’t give into the pressure. Be firm and let them know you’d love to go, but you have something important on your plate that must be taken care of today. If they don’t back off, you’ll have to push them out the door and give them a firm “No”.

If they were truly your friend, they’d understand you have things that absolutely must get done today and they’ll leave you alone. Or they’d offer help to make things easier on you. Take this moment as a sign for those toxic people you need to let go of and move out of your life. And those who are truly worthy of your friendship that you should keep in your circle of friends.

The areas of your life that you are trying to turn around need attention and care to promote their healing. Ignoring them or putting them off will only make things worse and you could end up infecting the wounds all over again. So be careful that you’re not shirking your duties or what you’re accountable for today. It’s your name being signed on the form or contract. So make sure you know what’s getting done and that you’re taking care of what’s outlined before you. Continue reading →

Have a little indulgence today and share in your bounty with those you love most. A special treat won’t break the budget and it will lift your spirits all the way around. The overwhelming stress has taken its toll, so don’t be afraid to reward yourself for living through it and working to make change for the better.

Additional Insight:

The lack of creature comforts can be dealt with fairly easily. But when you’re lacking in what you need to sustain you and your family, the stress can be overwhelming. You’ve lived through the worst and that chapter is coming to a close.

Don’t be afraid to indulge in a small, inexpensive celebration. Not only will it lift everyone’s spirits, it will also sustain you through the few short weeks you’ll still be dealing with to bring the struggle to a close.

Don’t give in or give up hope that things must change. They are changing. You’ve worked very hard to make things work out in the end and your efforts are working through the final processes to turn things around in your favor.

Don’t slack off, don’t ignore your responsibilities. Make the calls and contacts that must be made. Finish the paperwork and dot the i’s. You know what’s left to be done, so don’t slack off yet and cause things to take a bad turn right when you’re close to the end of it all. Continue reading →

Abundance over flows and you’ll have more than you can carry. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Family and friends will be there when you need an extra hand or two.

Additional Insight:

Try to keep all your goodies in one basket and focus on keeping things neat and tidy. You’ll need to create room for the overflow that comes your way during the next few days.

Remember abundance comes in many forms, from health, happiness, relationships and financial to nearly everything else in your life.

Be watchful and careful with your new found basket of plenty. Keep it safe, store it in a secure place and keep the hoards of little ants that want to get in and take a piece.

Getting what you want isn’t always the end of all your worries. Sometimes it can merely replace one set of issues with another. Be protective and cautious. Don’t go out willy nilly and try to save the world. You can’t!

Take care of your friends, family and those who are the most near and dear to you. You’ll have plenty to help out those who are most in need that are near to your heart. But you’ll have to learn how to say “No” to those who are looking for a free ride. Continue reading →

Get grounded! The source of strength today is in the practical and physical actions you take. If you want your growth to be stable and strong, you must put down roots, grow them deep and remain grounded under the surface. Be ambitious, take pride in yourself and what you’re doing. You’ll create the self-sufficiency you’re looking for by putting your thoughts into action!

Additional Insight:

Wands bring us the essence of Enterprise & Inaction, Inspiration & Pessimism, Distinction & Disregard.

The Ace is tells us the day is about us, about being number one, affecting energy from within and your responsibility and accountability for what you think, say and do. Be aware of all your actions today. It’s definitely a time to be Mindful.

Being flighty and day dreaming or wishing things were different isn’t going to bring about the change you seek. Nothing happens by simply dreaming about them. You must put action and energy behind your dreams and exercise your magik.

No matter what happens around you, beneath the surface keep your mind/body/spirit connected to the foundation of your beliefs. Ground your energy to the core of Mother Earth and get your head out of the clouds. That higher inspiration is great; but you must put your enterprising thoughts and ideas into action.

Working together you can save the world and recover what’s been lost. Approaching challenges with love and compassion for each other will make your magik stronger and you can achieve anything, even amongst the thorns. Strength, endurance and respect will win the day!

Additional Insight:

Swords bring us messages of Strength & Weakness, Endurance & Struggle, Respect & Animosity.

When you work together with those around you, especially those who are close to you, the strength to endure is emphasized. If you feel alone with no one to turn to, that partner is your inner higher spirit. Because you’re never truly alone.

When you align your energies with this perspective you each see the challenges before you from a different angle that allows all hidden issues to be exposed. Don’t work on problems as if you’re the one who has the only right answer. The endurance is promoted by the respect you have for each view that’s present.

All ideas are valid and should be considered. Take the best of all suggestions, merge them together and you’ll create a plan to overcome the struggles and diminish the weaknesses that may appear to be holding you back. Continue reading →

Stop punishing yourself at every turn and for every thought, move or action you make. It’s not worth it to hold yourself up to a standard that you know no one else can meet. Time to practice some self-love and forgiveness! Only you can stop the bleeding!

Additional Insight:

All that anger you’re turning inward isn’t doing you any good at all. You’re only putting more pressure on yourself to be perfect. It makes no sense for you to be open and welcoming of others and their faults, but not of your own. Stop it! Seriously. Just Stop It!

You can not go back and change what has happened or what you’ve gone through. The only thing the past has to give you today are lessons and knowledge to help you avoid the same mistakes now and in the future.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. ~ George Santayana. 

Santayana’s entire quote gives that famous line much more meaning:
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

There are plenty of fish in the water to choose from. Stop worrying about the one that got away. Focus on you and what you’re doing to sustain yourself in these waters. You don’t need to change your spots to please each person who crosses your path. Just be yourself.

Additional Insight:

It’s hard to remember which face you’re showing to each person who crosses your path. Trying to be something others like and changing to be something else for a different person takes a lot of energy. It also takes a big toll on your emotions and well-being.

You’re not going to be able to please everyone in your life at all times. And you don’t have to either. Those who don’t like this aspect of you or that perspective you hold about that topic aren’t the people you need to worry about. The only person who counts, is you! And if you can’t live with yourself, no one else is going to stay by your side either.

You already know that it’s not up to someone else to make you happy. Why are you trying to make others happy by being who they expect or want you to be? You have to be accountable for your emotions, but they don’t? Say what?! Continue reading →

Make sure you are judging situations before you with fairness and balance. Gather all the FACTs, from all sides first. Don’t rely on others to give you third-party or second-hand information. Go to the source and find out for yourself or confirm what you’ve been told is true. The road ahead is your path to tread. Make sure you’re walking it with both responsibility and accountability, instead of foolishness. Don’t get scammed!

Additional Insight:

Don’t fall back on old baggage and make assumptions. Don’t put your own reflections into the actions playing out before you. Don’t take the word of someone else for what’s going on, if they’re not the ones directly involved.

You must become actively involved in your own life and the path you tread. Stop letting others fool you or take advantage of you with misinformation, half truths or out and out lies. You are responsible for your life and where it leads. That means you must take hold of events you’re accountable for and be responsible for knowing exactly what’s going on.

If that means calling a creditor to make sure a bill was paid, then pick up the phone. It’s your good name and credit that will be affected, not someone elses. If there’s a he said, she said rumor going around about someone you care for, then go to the source and get the story face to face. And maybe from all parties involved. You can tell a lot about the truth when you “see” it first hand. Continue reading →

Stop throwing daggers at others. Your mood is not their fault. Calm down and talk yourself into being at peace with your emotions. It’s ok to have feelings. You’re human after all. But don’t let them get the best of you and cause you to do or say things you may regret later. Acknowledge that you have them, good, bad or indifferent. But don’t allow them to run your life today. You need to be in balance and in control to make sure you’re getting things done that need your attention.

Additional Insight:

Being overly excited or emotionally angry, is part of life. But how you feel is under your control. Don’t blame others for how you choose to be in this moment. No one “Makes” you feel this way or that. You make those choices all on your own.

But don’t be so hard on yourself for having emotions either. You’re  an incarnated spirit who is here to experience life and having emotions are part of that experience. No one can be joyfully happy all the time. It’s not realistic and it’s not something anyone can do. So stop be angry at yourself and taking it out on others.

Instead, accept your emotions and acknowledge your feelings. Focus on balancing your reactions so you don’t make bad choices in a moment of extremes, no matter which side they’re on. You can even make the wrong move when you’re overwhelmed by glee, passion or excitement. So be cautious. Continue reading →
