Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

If you work together you can be the pillars holding everything up. Things may feel like they’re closing in on you, but you still have a few tricks up your sleeves. Study the information you have at your fingertips and you’ll discover solutions that allow you to game the system. Magik is rooted around you and helping you to hold things up long enough to implement your ideas. Nothing is caving in yet. Keep at it. Your fortitude will be rewarded!

Additional Insight:

You’ve been in this situation before and each time you’ve gotten through it. Why assume this time is going to be any different? Your fear will only create more fear and anxiety. Push those feelings aside and delve into the work! You’re going to have all weekend to work on resolving the latest battle.

Keep calm and focused. Study your instructions, fill out the papers and do the little things that keep you moving forward. Struggle is only overwhelming if you give in and allow it to paralyze your actions or reactions. But when you can keep calm with a positive perspective about the outcome, you push the pendulum in the direction you need and want it to go.

Fortitude is a little word with a lot standing behind it. By definition it means to have courage in the face of pain or adversity. It comes from Latin fortis ‘strong’. It means you have strength in endurance, having resilience and expressing the mettle to fight against adversity. You have already shown the strength of mind and character to face the physical challenges life has thrown at you. Along with the strong-mindedness and backbone to fight for what you deserve and desire. You’ve maintained your faith and hope with a strong spirit, true grit and steadfastness to learn from these lessons and put their teachings into action. Continue reading →

Be careful of what connects you together isn’t becoming poisoned with stress and unfair accusations. The thorns you’re holding within your emotions are little frustrations that have no real bearing on what you’re going through. But you are allowing those little hurts, to fester and grow into something you cannot resolve and will bring things to an end. Anger and strife will not help you create a united front. But understanding and accountability will keep your line strong and you’ll succeed in holding off the incoming attacks from the battle field.

Additional Insight:

You must hold respect for those you’re working with. Be they family, friends or co-workers you can keep the peace and unity of your clan by appreciating each others efforts. Allow ideas and solutions to flow freely back and forth. It’s a day to show and receive respect with openness and even change of plans. If someone has a better idea, don’t be stubborn and ignore it because it doesn’t fit with your original schedule or priority list for the day.

You maybe stressed to the brim, but so are those you’re trying to work with. And while everything seems important and imperative; those things with immediate deadlines should be at the top of your list. Even if that means pushing back on another deadline that might be equally important, but in the long run could be too little too late. Continue reading →

Not allowing yourself to see is only going to keep you in the dark. You’re stronger than you think you are. The swords held in the physical is only creating angst as you continue to hold it in defense and fight the injustice. Instead, it’s time to rise above and allow your spirit to pull you up and over the mountain. Allow yourself to see where the solutions can be seen and discovered for the betterment of all involved.

Additional Insight:

You can’t run from your problems. You can’t keep hiding from the world, feeling embarrassed, injured, weak or afraid. Nor do you have to live in the overflow of a heavy negative world in constant conflict. From your perspective, the physical world is trying to pull you down and force you into battle. Time to change your perspective. You certainly don’t need to react to every situation around you as if you’re being attacked and must fight back. Stop it! Pull in the emotions and let go of the overwhelming feelings of guilt, anxiety and hurt. You’re taking on more than your fair share over something you had NO control over in the first place!

Life is about balance. Balance in all things, from your physical actions to your higher spiritual thoughts. Too much of anything, even if it’s something you’re very passionate about, isn’t good for you. It’s time to bring back the balance and find your path again. Gather in all the dreams and just going through the motions physical living and create a stable road that brings clarity and understanding. Now is a time to rise up and look above the storm clouds. Bring your divine soul into the conversation and ask what is it that you really want and what are you really fighting for? Continue reading →

The snakes are being driven away as you view the world with glasses of success. While internal healing is still going on, you will be able to celebrate your win. Your strength and fortitude will stand tall because of the loving support you have at this time. Let the magik drop in and spread some of its sweet nectar onto those who helped you create this moment in you life. Feel blessed today and through the weekend. Because you really are.

Additional Insight:

A little voice told me to break the card down and explain the messages and where they’re coming from. (This seems to be happening a lot this summer). Ok, here goes: 

The main feature in today’s card that keeps pulling my attention are the nearly hidden goggles in the background of the cup. Between the warm success of the Sun and the Champions Chalice, resides your perspective for the energy flow of this weekend (that starts today and goes through Monday. It’s a holiday here in the U.S., so the message of this card is working through to Monday night).

There’s two ways to see this goggle feature. You’ve let go of the rose-colored glasses and can see clearly what lies ahead. And/Or you’re being watched. All eyes are on you, watching to see what you will do today and through the weekend. Some out of love, to catch you if you stumble. Others out of intrigue to watch you stumble and pounce when you’re down for their own greed and ego. Continue reading →

Try not to let the anxiety of this week tie you up in knots. The self punishments are not going to ease the stress and frustration. Keep your outlook positive and you will discover the missing pieces to understand the events around you. Everything happens for a reason, in its right time and place. You are surrounded by love and compassion, even though you don’t feel it sometimes. It’s there, it has your back, and it’s ready to help in any way possible. Sometimes all you need is a hug. Don’t be afraid to ask for one.

Additional Insight:

Sadly when we become over stressed, we often fall on the side of thinking the worst. Your cable, internet or cell phone service goes out and the first thing you think is “didn’t we pay the bill”? Only to discover that yes you did and all that’s going on is a service outage caused by Sun flares or construction work have interrupted your day. It’s not you, it’s them.

Instead of seeing these moments of frustration from a place of anxiety, take a moment to be Mindful and look around your situation. Everything happens right when it should. So ask yourself, why are you being held up? What’s happening to slow down the process? Did you ask for it out of worry and thinking the worst? Or could there be a better outcome for you if things went slower so you can achieve what you need, even it’s not what you want in that exact moment. Continue reading →

The love standing behind you will provide the support needed for the events of today. You’ll find the strength to fight the little battles with ease. You’ll gain the help to nurture your actions that will bloom successfully and with ease. Remember to keep your cups upright and open to receive both the support and abundance that’s coming your way. By the end of the day you may find them filled with more than you thought there would be. Serve your mindfulness and pay attention to what you think, say and do. Make it a positive day and receive that positive in return.

Additional Insight:

The Knave can be a Servant to a noble, a young naive person, an apprentice learning and growing with wisdom. Today this is you. The one who serves your own spiritual and moral practices. Do you walk your talk? Or do you simply give it lip service?

Sometimes it’s easier for us to serve our ultimate actions and reactions when we’re alone. No one there to push buttons or fray nerves. The solitude can be great for times of introspection and reflection. Keeping our outlook positive and full of energy. But the true test of your talk, is left for when you walk that same path surrounded by others. This will be your test today.

Are you being open with positive energy and welcoming the positive change that’s coming your way? Or are you set in fear, scared to look around the corner at what’s coming next. You’re being supported by the Divine in your life, but also by those closest to you. The ones who are working hard for you, trying to be encouraging and be on your side simply because they love you. And because they want the same things you do. It’s not a time to let fear into your day and affect your mood, or turn your attitude against those trying to help.

There’s always a way out that doesn’t involve selling your soul. You don’t have to give in to the pressures around you. But make sure you’re weighing all options and their consequences before you make your decisions. You may end up having to give something away that you really want to keep and hold onto. Don’t do anything rash, explore the other possibilities, be open to negotiation. But don’t allow others to push you into a situation you don’t want; nor deserve.

Additional Insight:

You can fight for yourself and find another way through struggles. There’s never only one path to take. Use negotiation to control your own kingdom. Contact someone else who may have other options for you. You maybe able to implement an end around your primary adversary, without them even realizing it occurred until it’s too late. You simply have to make sure you can live with the consequences.

We all have choices to make in our struggles to make them easier or resolve them all together. Never feel that you have no other choice but to give in and be dominated by someone else. This is your life. Take control over it and do what brings you peace and happiness. The nay sayers are always going to push, always going to try to control you. They’re always going to use their fear, greed or hatred to force you into a situation they can control. Continue reading →

Rest and hold your emotions in the vision of success as fall arrives. Things are going to pick up speed from now into October. Heal your heart and trust your gut instincts. You keep telling yourself it’s going to be ok; time you started believing that. Feminine energy is moving things forward with magikal motion. But the Queen is also telling you to get control of your emotions and focus on your mission. Don’t get side tracked by stress, fear or anxiety.

Additional Insight:

Change continues and will keep moving you forward as long as you don’t sabotage your own plans.  Don’t let your stubborn pride get in the way of all the work you’ve done. You don’t have to grovel, you don’t have to beg. But you don’t have to give in either.

Confidence, ambition and pride should be working together and in harmony today. Not putting doubt in your heart and clouding your judgements. Stay strong and determined, be the leader that guides your journey and keeps your flight moving in the right direction.

You’re no longer in the darkness of despair. You made it through those months of shadow and uncertainty. The little trials that fall on your path today, are simply the little things needed to survive until all your plans manifest and you become self-sufficient. Continue reading →
