The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Don’t hold on to the old hurts. They’re weighing you down and keeping you from letting go and becoming free. Anger does nothing but keep you tired and constantly exhausted. It’s not giving up, or losing the battle. It’s taking control of your life back from those who have wished you harm. Stand up, lay down the weapons of war and move beyond the dark angst to healing and higher growth.

Additional Insight:

Winning the day doesn’t have to be achieved through constant fighting and battles. It’s not violence that wins the war over time. It’s brains and strategy, not brawn. Your resources to fight have been weakened and you’re constantly at odds with everyone and everything around you. It really is time to step off the battlefield and let the skirmishes end.

By allowing others who aren’t on your side to control your emotions and reactions, you’re giving them power over you. Forgive yourself for the part in the war you played. And yes, you do have actions you’re accountable for in some regard. Take responsibility for those and forgive yourself for playing a part in those events.

You don’t need to hold others accountable for their actions. They won’t escape the karma they have created on their path of choices. Trust me, there’s nothing an enemy hates more than a person who won’t engage in their battles for supremacy. They can’t stand being  a non-factor and being ignored. But when you forgive and release the hurt, that’s exactly what you’re doing. Don’t give them one more single thought and over the next couple of weeks, they will lose their grasp over your life.

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

The day you create will all depend on your perspective. Are you open to celebration or are you gearing up for a fight. How you look at the world in each moment of the day creates energy that surrounds you and binds you to that instant of creation. Stop seeing things as half empty or dwelling on how much further there is to go. Start seeing the gifts you have in front of you, in your hands and standing beside you. Your blessings are already present in the here and now. When you focus on the abundance you already have, you attract more prosperity to the areas of your life that might be lacking.

Additional Insight:

Do you see a fallen warrior? A slain victim? Or a resting soul being lifted by the light of a candelabra? How you view the situations in your life is not only telling of current psyche, but it also represents the energy you’re creating around you.

You can create the world you want to live in by changing your perspectives and leaving the storm clouds behind. But even in the midst of a storm there is beauty to be seen and gifts to be appreciated. For a farmer, the rain brings much-needed water for the fields. For the photographer, the lightning brings astonishment to captured. For the artist the moving clouds are natures beauty moving in concert with the wind.

We may lose “things” during the storms of our life. But they’re only things. The intangible gifts are what’s most important no matter where you are or who you are. Money can sustain your life, but it can’t buy love, or family or trust or bravery. No matter what you think you’re lacking at this time in your life, if you have family and friends you are rich. If you have children you are rich beyond measure. And when you stand tall with them and face the storms together, you are brave and blessed to have such companions to weather the struggles.

A journey tonight could be a prosperous adventure. Don’t worry about juggling tasks or being overwhelmed. Your prosperity is coming at the end of the rainbow and things are looking up. Stay focused though and keep to the business at hand. With storm clouds at your back, the worst is over and your ship will make it to port in calm waters. Hang in there. You’ll make it through.

Additional Insight:

Water is the symbol of creation, passion, and even sexuality. It is the element that all life requires to survive. It represents new dimensions and natural forces moving with the flow when calm. And struggling against the world when in storm.

If you have the opportunity to get out into the water today, you’re Mind/Body/Spirit will benefit from its soothing relaxation. You’ll be able to clear blocks and imagine (or thing through) problems and issues with a new perspective from creative energy.

If you can’t get out into a large pool of water, try taking a bubble bath and allow yourself to relax at home. Even a warm soothing shower will have its benefits to wash away anxiety and trepidation. Take some time to feel yourself in the water. Be mindful of the sensations against your skin, the warmth, the movement and the nurturing affects. Continue reading →

Abundance can grow on trees when you nurture your passion and feed your dreams. Stop looking for the rotten apples and focus on the positives. Change your pattern of negative self talk and believe in the Magik within you. 

Additional Insight:

The more you listen to the negative recordings the more you throw the good out with the bad. It not only wastes the abundance you do have, it keeps you from attaining the dream you ultimately want, or need.

Stop taking things for granted and start appreciating all the little things that bring blessings to your life. They really do add up after a while. And you can use their positive energy to attract more of their kind to you. Even that elusive dream you think is out of reach. That thought is the only thing keeping you from achieving it.

Allow yourself to dream. Dream big. Dream often. Let your dreams inspire you to try, to innovate, to adapt situations so they benefit your goals and aspirations. Overcome the negative recordings you’ve allowed into your head and replace them with the knowledge that you too deserve to succeed and win the day.

You may need some help getting your information to the right people or through the right channels. Pay attention to the body language and hand signals; along with the words. Don’t make assumptions that you’re not speaking clearly, or that others aren’t taking time to listen. Mercury is in retrograde and communications are being impacted on all sides. Allow yourself to feel empowered in your situation. No matter how great or small. Believe in yourself and be humble as you try to explain your position throughout the week. You’ll be ok by Friday, even though this retrograde lasts until June 11, 2015..

Additional Insight:

While you’re having problems making the right connections, keep calm and patient. Be Mindful of the energy you’re sending out. Otherwise you could make things worse than they need to be.

Patience and humility will get you through this first week of the Mercury Retrograde when its influence is at it’s most influential. Don’t assume you’re speaking clearly or that everything you’re saying is plain and clear. It may not be that others aren’t listening, but rather that you’re not as clear in your communication as you think you are.

Keep in mind that when the Retrograde occurs in the house of Gemini (as it is in this phase) miscommunications will be enhanced more acutely. That’s because Gemini is the house of Communications. Calls will be dropped, connections will be lost, external noise will interfere. You might even find yourself losing your voice entirely due a sudden illness (that’s hitting me right now).

Expand your horizons and view the world from a larger perspective. Too much of your understanding is based on only what’s around you. Living inside the bubble warps your view as if you’re in a fog. It’s not until you rise above and clear the air that you’re going to be able to see both sides of the situation and discover what’s really going on. You don’t have to agree with both sides. But at least be open to the alternative views, because they will provide insight, understanding and an opportunity to question. The more you know, the more you’ll understand the world around you.

Additional Insight:

It’s a product of our nature to live within our community, family, or whatever that tight knit group is that you feel comfortable in. Humans are like any herding animal, we move with our pack and rarely venture outside to discover new perspectives.

But staying inside our own bubble,  limits our understanding of neighboring clans, or communities that we share space with. We may not agree with their views, or understand where they’re coming from, or know enough about them out side of rumor or innuendo.

Building peace in your family or your community takes a little effort and patience to learn about the other side. You don’t have to agree, you’re not going to be converted nor should you allow your fear to segregate you from knowledge and understanding. Continue reading →

Time to see your cups as half full, instead of half empty. Stop seeing the world as a flat one sided obstacle that stands in your way. You have blessings in your life that are going to waste or being taken for granted. Change your perspective and view the world from Mind, Body and Spirit. You’ll have a much better view and a fabulous weekend to boot. 

Additional Insight:

We can get so lost in the struggle that we forget what we’re doing all that work for. We allow the stress and strain to change our personality, our character and who we want to be, that even the best optimist can slowly become yet another pessimist. The world has enough of those.

Take time today and through the weekend to rediscover the whole and complete you. Sit in quiet solitude and be honest with yourself. What or who has made you jaded? Do you want to win the battles yet lose the war because you allowed the past to change you for the worse?

Take time to examine the choices you’ve made and the attitudes you’ve acquired. Replace the fear of being hurt and disappointed with forgiveness. Even if you’re only forgiving yourself for the choices you made or the negative thoughts you’ve been playing over in your head. It’s time to make the effort to show yourself compassion and love and let go of the negative worry. Continue reading →

We all have a little bit of the Fool within is. The person who wants to bring excitement and laughter to those around us. But there’s a difference between playing the fool and being made a fool. Double check your work today. Make sure you’ve been given the right information before you share your results. Whither by mistake or on purpose, something isn’t right with what you’ve been given. Do your best to pass on the right information, by checking the information you’ve been given.

Additional Insight:

Be watchful of the underlying motives of others. There’s something going on behind the scenes that you can’t see. It maybe that your source of information is distracted by their own life dramas and they made an innocent mistake. But it also could be there are ulterior motives going on and you need to be aware of the ruse.

You have the opportunity to wow the crowd with your presentation. A few laughs and astonishing feats of magik can benefit you in the long run. But not if the stage has been created on shaky ground. So take a little extra time to ensure the numbers are correct, the facts are accurate and you truly understand what you’re presenting to the crowd.

Either you’ll discover someone isn’t what they claim to be and is out to get ahead at your expense. Or you’ll find that someone needs a little help and a compassionate voice in their corner. Which ever one you find, you’ll be able to acquire the right information to put into your presentation and save your own reputation in the process. Continue reading →

Take time to pay attention to what your body is telling you. Listening to your physical self and look into the underlying message your illness or ailment is trying to share can be as important as understanding modern test results. Even the most successful person can be out of sync within their being. Allow your entire self, Mind, Body and Spirit to heal and work in harmony for better health. Give yourself a moment to live in balance and practice the “As above So below” concepts in your every day life.

Additional Insight:

How we think creates how we feel, but too often modern medicine only focuses on the physical condition alone. It’s up to you to take the next step and remember to look beyond the numbers of the test results. It’s your health, you should be the one paying the most attention to it.

The “As above So below” approach when it comes to treating the whole totality of a person’s health is nothing new. But it maybe a new concept to some people here in the Western world. Though it is coming back through lessons of being Mindful and paying attention to how you think through out the day.

Remember you are a part physical and part spiritual being. Learning to balance those two selves helps us to take notice of our detrimental thinking that often causes us pain and strain that impacts our health. No amount of medicine or medical treatment will alter the course of an ailment if we’re not willing to make the mental changes in our thinking that goes a long with it.

Reach for the Brass Ring. You deserve to acquire it as much as the next person. Don’t settle for less when it’s not really what you want. If you make sacrifices for others, don’t expect them to return the favor later on. Sometimes you need to say “no” in order to keep going on your journey to fulfill your own dreams. Just make sure you really know what it is you want. 

Additional Insight:

If you make sacrifices do it because you want to, not because you feel obligated or pressured to do so. Setting expectations on others only sets them up to fail when they don’t follow through. And it creates disappointment in you, both for the sacrifice and for when they don’t follow through.

You’ve set your mission before you and you’re working on fulfilling it. Stick to the plan and the process you’ve laid out. Saying “no” now doesn’t mean you have to walk away. It doesn’t mean anything has to come to an end. It merely means that your focus needs to be on your goal at hand. If the other opportunities are meant to be, they will be there when they fit into your plan.

You can have more than one goal of course. You can work on multiple things at the same time. But only if it means you have time and resources to do so. Don’t sacrifice the ultimate ambition in order to have a secondary dream sooner than you planned. It may not be the best opportunity that you think it is. Continue reading →
