Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Simply because things seem to be upside down right now, doesn’t mean you’re going to lose everything. Stop worrying so much about what’s in your coffers and focus on the partnerships you have been blessed with. There’s much more to gain, then there is to lose.  And today it all depends on your perspective and what you’re willing to see.

Additional Insight:

Here in the northern hemisphere spring is the time for growth and expansion. In the southern hemisphere fall is the time to take stock and get prepared. You don’t have to take a chance or throw caution to the wind to get what you need. You simply need to focus on your plans and move forward with determination. All that negative talk you’ve been listening to this week is pulling you down. Turn off those recordings and ignore the nay-sayers.

You’ve worked hard to turn things around and you’ve succeeded. So why are you falling back on old patterns of distress? Yes there’s still some healing to go through, but it’s nothing like the mountain you climbed and traversed already. You crossed that great divide and you survived. So stop searching for the “oh woe is me, why is this happening” defeatism. It doesn’t apply to you or the current situations. Continue reading →

Don’t pine away for the things that didn’t work out the way you wanted. They weren’t meant to be in your life anyway. There’s something better waiting for you and it’s not that far away. Take time re-adjust your thinking and look at the blessings you do have. All while being patient for the really good things to come your way.

Additional Insight:

What you “wanted” may not be what you “needed”. Sometimes we have to be pushed down the road to get where we need to be for our better interests and desires. Don’t settle for 2nd best or even 3rd. There’s a reason things didn’t work out, even if you don’t see what they are right now. Someone is watching out for you, even if you don’t know they are there.

You’ve been praying and lighting candles in an effort to manifest what you want. That’s great, don’t give it up. But you may not always see clearly when things cross your path. You could be allowing fear to push you into settling for something because you’re worried the real request will never be met. Stop that negative thinking. Stop trying to force a face to the desire and allow opportunity to bloom in unexpected places. Continue reading →

Ride ’em cowboy! Hang on it’s going to be an exciting ride through the day. Things are moving at a faster pace than you may have anticipated. Hold on and you’ll not only get through the ups and downs, but you’ll have some fun doing it. It’s another day to keep your focus and look at the situations with calm mindfulness.

Additional Insight:

You’ll be able to see what’s really going on and that will help keep your emotions in check. Others will be in dismay at your calm response, because they are expecting you to blow a gasket and allow anger to take over. Don’t give them the satisfaction of falling into their box. They are counting on you to lose control and prove their point to others. Remain calm and you’ll win another battle.

No one else can define who or what you are, unless you allow them to. So don’t take on their labels, or get upset about their pathetic insults. They don’t matter, because you know they’re not true. You make the choice about what kind of person you’re going to be. Own it! Be responsible for it and be willing to go against the negative expectations others have tried to lay on your shoulders. That’s their baggage, not yours. So don’t pick it up and you won’t have to carry it for them.

You have the ability to create and nurture your life on your own. Make sure you’re taking time to focus on what you need during the day and ignore the worry and stress. Time is of the essence and you can govern your domain with great care and peaceful serenity to bring about prosperity and success.

Additional Insight:

As others go through the day with angst and bravado, try not to get caught up in their drama. Let them vent and run off half cocked. It’s not your place to sit them down and have a heart to heart about their actions and what lessons they’re being presented with at this time.

Contemplate what you need to do to create a successful day. Perhaps your focus is needed on a special project. Or maybe you have the answer to a problem within your creative center. Whatever the situation, you’re in the best position to create a plan or solution if you remain calm and mindful of your thoughts. Continue reading →

Go with the flow and temper your anxiety. Don’t fight so hard to push things in the direction you want them to go. You could alienate someone you’re going to need later on. Instead, let the breeze take you where it may and be calm. You will find unexpected success if you stick to your plan for the day.

Additional Insight:

In the Chakra Color System I follow, yellow is the color for Success, creativeness, jealousy, selfishness. A vibrant Yellow like we see here with the Faery of Temperance is a clear yellow sharing intelligence, wisdom, and success. And it doesn’t matter that the card is inverted. That success is still present.

When you try to force things down the path, you end up getting stuck in the potholes and struggles. What you “want” may not be what you need, so the Divine in your life is trying real hard to keep you from making mistakes. So stick to the plan you had set for yourself today and allow the success to unfold as it may. Continue reading →

You’ll discover that the financing you seek is holding you up. You’re not losing anything, you’re being cared for under the covers and lifted up to maintain the status quo for now. Don’t sit and worry. It will only divert your attention from what needs to be done. Be at peace and focus on the goal that brings in success. You can do this!

Additional Insight:

You’re falling back on old patterns and bringing in negative energies that will derail your goals. Stop it! Break out of that old thinking and focus on your new processes to make things better. Dwelling in the past will only keep you struggling in those old issues again. Take a deep breath and let’s move forward today.

For today, spend time being mindful of your negative thoughts. Wash them away with a deep breath and a vision of warm ocean waves wiping the sand clear for a new impression. Take 5 minutes, as many times during the day as you need, to see yourself in balance with the Divine in your life and Mother Earth’s grounded energy. You’ll be able to straighten out the picture and stay on track without feeling wobbly and out of synch. Continue reading →

Be careful you don’t over-due the celebration. Your plans are still in the works and need your energy to fully manifest. Too much of anything can cause an overflow and spill the beans before you’re ready to take advantage of the opportunities that lay before you.  Patience and fortitude will win this day in your favor.

Additional Insight:

Once again this week, the card of the day focuses on balance. Even too much of a good thing isn’t good for you. So watch out how much play and revelry you participate in. Some are still keeping their nose to the grindstone and your participation in the loud festivities could be noticed by the wrong people.

Raise your glass, have a piece of cake and exchange the pleasantries of the event, happy birthday, anniversary or a simple congratulations. Then get back to your own thing and focus on what needs to be completed by the end of the day. It’s ok to say “no” when you’re being invited to something that wasn’t in your plan to get things done.

Sing your own praise and use your voice to build up the intent behind your actions. When you sit in the seat of judgement, you must be balanced and at peace in order to pass fair justice. Don’t react in anger and you’ll have a successful and maybe even an enlightening day.

Additional Insight:

Every creature on Earth uses judgement during their day. It’s not a bad thing. It’s how we make choices and weigh decisions. Good judgement keeps us prepared, safe and out of the gloom. Bad judgements destroy reputations, goals and even lives. The Fairy of Judgement from the Major Arcana reminds us that we must live in balance with our spirit while making choices here in the physical world. That our choices have long-lasting effects, even if we can’t see the karma that comes with them.

When you remain calm and at peace, you will make the right judgements. But don’t let the whimsical, devil-may-care attitudes of others get in the way and pull you out into their world of darkness. There are consequences to every action and this is not the time for you to be throwing caution to the wind for a short period of fun. You have much to lose and for some, you could lose everything.

Nurture your spirit today. Do something that makes you feel good about the path you’re walking and it will reflect back to you throughout the week. Don’t dwell in the past hurts and emotions. Make the choice to be happy and you’ll surround yourself with others who are looking to do the same thing.

Additional Insight:

When you love yourself, you always have a friend by your side. There’s a big difference between being alone and being lonely. No matter what challenges you’ve faced, or are facing now, you’re not alone. No one said you can’t be kind, compassionate or friendly when you’re out in the world facing your own struggles. Talk to a stranger, wish someone a good day and strike up a conversation, even if it’s only about the weather. That small exchange of energy will make a big difference in your day and help to lift you up out the gloom.

No one is an island hidden from the world. There’s always someone around who you can exchange a glance and a smile. A hello can go a long way to not only making you feel better about life, but you might make someone else who is struggling feel less afraid as well. Continue reading →
