Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Put your stake in the ground and settle on what you really want. You’re running in circles and putting your energy all over the place. That’s not going to get things done that need to be completed. Stop for a moment and focus. Ask yourself, what is it that I really want mid-range and long-term! Don’t ask others what to do, you must answer the question for yourself. The answer should give you direction for where to direct all your untapped energy!

Additional Insight:

Stop scattering your energy all over the place. Keep the energy of the Swords in the forefront of your mind for the rest of this month:
Strength & Weakness, Endurance & Struggle , Respect & Animosity 

Being scattered creates struggle, allowing you to become weak and creating animosity around you. You’ve had enough of that in your life.

Stake your territory and surround yourself with those who will support your work and effort. Those that don’t back you, don’t need to be in your life. It’s that simple.

Even if you’ve been working on a plan you desire, double check your To Do list. Have you allowed fear or trepidation to hold you back from getting something done? Have you permitted the fears of someone else to put doubts in your own head? Continue reading →

Sometimes it’s better to keep your mouth shut about your troubles, than to spread the news around. You could be allowing others to see your weaknesses, and try to take advantage of your situation. Confide only in those who have proven they can be trusted with the secrecy and have your best interests at heart. Don’t let the competition get an upper hand by knowing what buttons to push, or what information to twist that creates the loss of opportunities for you. Be successful by acting as if you already are.

Additional Insight:

Many people like to talk things out when things happen in their lives. It’s not an attempt to gain sympathy or attention. Though some people are drama queens/kings who can’t live without the attention. But for some it’s a therapeutic approach to “getting it out” and releasing the energy of hurt, frustration and anger.

It’s important to be cautious about who you talk to and what you share about your life in these situations. Don’t feel tied down and restricted. Don’t feel captured, imprisoned or limited. Simply be cautious about what you say, who you say it too and protect your future options from the past mistakes and injustice you’ve faced.

It’s a day to focus on business and self-interests. What have you been putting off that needs your attention? Yes, for purely selfish reasons, you need to get back to the plan and work on manifesting the mid-range goals. Don’t let the little things get in the way, or hold you up from putting energy and effort into what you know NEEDS to be done! You’re letting the circumstances get to you and hold you back. Only you can move things forward. Stop waiting and start doing! It’s your future, you should tend to it.

Additional Insight:

Represent the essence of Finances & Debt, Possessions & Trappings, Business & Self  Interests.

So things haven’t been going exactly the way you want them to. Know whose fault that might be? You’re pulling those negative energies toward you, because you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Stop it! Geez!

What have you been saying to yourself, or worse out loud? You’re manifesting your fears and frustrations and creating self-fulfilling prophecy. Keep it up and you will lose the battle, the war and everything. There’s been enough of that, don’t you think? Continue reading →

Don’t be taken for a fool. Someone close by is trying to distract your attentions so you don’t see what’s really going on. Be careful you don’t use your resources and tools like toys. This isn’t a game. It’s great to have fun and be silly once in a while. But there’s an appropriate time and place for play. Trust your instincts and stop the negative self talk that’s repeating what the manipulators are putting in your head. You know when to pay attention to the warning signs and when to let go and relax. Make sure you’re choosing the right time to accomplish both, when it’s best for you.

Additional Insight:

The one trying to manipulate you could be trying to get something past you without your knowledge. Or they maybe unreliable, a person who can’t be counted on, because they’re easily distracted from doing what they should be focused on. 

Don’t let the immaturity of others take you away from what you’ve been trying to build over the past few years or months. You’ve worked too hard to allow one mistake to tear it all down. And that could easily happen if you shirk your responsibilities or abuse the tools you’ve been given to use on this path.

Don’t listen to the guilt trip, the pleas to have fun, or the put downs that you don’t care about your friends or family. You know good and well those statements aren’t true. Someone who cares about you wouldn’t manipulate you in this manner in the first place. They would know how important your mission has been to change things for the better, and wouldn’t try to demean your efforts. So ask, are they really your friend? Continue reading →

Gifts show up from the most unlikely places. It maybe a surprise on several fronts, but be gracious. Someone took time to think about you and made a gesture of kindness and caring. You may not want the attachment they are offering with the gift, so be up front and honest without being cruel. Remember what you put out, you will receive in return.

Additional Insight:

Sometimes gifts are given as a manner of respect. They come as a reward for hard work. They come as a sign of devotion from a family member or loved one. They can be an apology from a friend or someone important in your life. They can even come from an admirer.

What ever the reason, don’t make light of the gift and shun the person giving it. They took time to share their emotions and that takes courage in some situations. If it’s a present from someone you’re not interested in, let them know you appreciate their kindness, but make it clear you cannot accept the entanglements that come with the present. And perhaps give them kudos for having the guts to express their kindness toward you. It really did take guts.

Ask if they still want to give it to you and accept it graciously if they do. Or if you feel uneasy about accepting it, make sure you express your gratitude with kindness and respect, but let them know you don’t feel right about accepting their offering and put the blame on yourself. “It would make me feel as though I’m taking advantage of you and I don’t want it to appear that way to you either”.
