The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Don’t take the blessings that have come your way for granted. Take care of what you’ve received and help it to last as long as possible. If you don’t appreciate those blessings, you’ll waste their gifts and wish you hadn’t. It’s ok to treat yourself once in a while and enjoy life. But when you try to live a champagne life with a beer salary, you’ll throw away all you’ve worked for and be left with nothing. It’s a day to be cautious and frugal.

Additional Insight:

Don’t turn your back on the blessings you have already received. You asked for them, you worked hard for most of them and you should appreciate them when they arrive. When you ignore those things that have come your way after all that, you make it much harder to keep them safe and sound as you move forward to the next goal.

If you got it and realized you didn’t really want what you received than it’s time to sit back and pay attention to the lessons you face. Be careful what you ask for, you might get it. And when you realize it’s not what you needed, it can be very hard to get rid of it in a proper way that promotes growth instead of creates negative karma.

Time to slow down and start paying attention to what’s within. Be honest with yourself and make sure you’re looking at the real picture before you. Is what you’re striving for something you “want” or something you “need”? If you don’t need it, don’t waste your time on it. Because it probably won’t last or it will bring more heart ache than joy.  Take off the rose-colored glasses and see what’s before you with respect and honesty.

You already have the strength to endure and overcome. Stop worrying about running out of energy. Make the final push and move your rocket ship to the next level where you’ll be able to relax and get down to the real work you’re looking forward to taking on. It’s time for the final push. Make it happen with confidence.

Additional Insight:

When are you going to stop doubting yourself? Haven’t you proven you can get through the struggle and still succeed? When you get up and fight for what you want, you have made it happen and corrected the injustice for what you need.

Today is no different, but the challenges are not nearly as gloomy as you’ve seen in the past. Because today you know the answers and have a clear view of the path to get there. Stop allowing the fear of the past to bring up those internal nagging negative voices. They have no place in your Universe today.

Take the lessons you’ve learned and get things done. You know doing the final paperwork is what’s needed. Stop putting it off and putting other things in front of it. It’s not going to get solved by itself. You must stop making excuses and ignoring the tasks. Continue reading →

Act the part as if you already have it and you’ll win the day with ovations galore. Sometimes making it happen is acting as if it already has. Whither it’s a new official position or simply a new role in your group or family, stand up and be proud of what you’ve accomplished and put that knowledge and skill to good use. You could end the day in triumph.

Additional Insight:

You have the skill and the knowledge to step into the role of your dreams. All you need to do is put your confidence into action. Change your attitude and keep your actions and words motivating and positive. But step into the position and make the most of the opportunity.

If you take time to ask for the ok to do it, it’s too late. And you don’t want to give someone time to think about your qualifications. You’ll only be giving them the chance to say no. Be careful at what authority you do take on, make sure you’re within your legal rights to do so. But today is a day to step-it up and be noticed.

Help solve the problem and turn the issue around. Don’t say “can I ask a question”, just ask it and work off the reply with confidence and authority. You can do this. You have the knowledge and experience to help solve the bigger issue and impress everyone with your input and guidance. Continue reading →

You can’t fill your cups with an attitude of despair. Change your perceptions. Your cups are building a sturdy and strong foundation to hold up barrels of abundance. Keep looking at the blessings you already have and focus on the confidence they instill in you. You’ll attract more of the same faith in things turning up good. And that will help make it happen. Be Blessed!

Additional Insight:

Cups represent the essence of Emotions & Apathy, Happiness & Despair, Abundance & Lack.

If you continue to feel overwhelmed and down trodden, that’s exactly what you’ll create in your own little world. You’ll attract more of that same energy and make it much harder on yourself to turn things around. Stop it! You’re better than that!

Look at the situations in your life with a different view. Find the positives and alternatives that exist in every situation. Even when you think you’re stopped dead in your tracks, the Divine is at work in your life. Trying to get you down a different path for opportunities you can’t see. Every zig has a zag and sometimes we need to make a move to open a door to something greater.

If you continually ignore the gentle nudges, sooner or later, the Divine will kick you in the pants and force you to move. And those situations are rarely good changes to go through. So don’t ignore the hidden signs and hints to move on. You could be saving yourself a lot of heart ache in the long run. Continue reading →

Don’t simply give lip service to what you believe. Practice what you preach. You’re great at giving advice to others, how about taking some of that to heart. Look inside, peak under the glass and discover what you have to learn about yourself. It’s not as scary as you think and you will heal, grow and expand your awareness of the world around you.

Additional Insight:

It’s never to late to re-examine your choices and your life. We all should take time to see where we’ve been, where we came from, how much we’ve grown and how much we still have to go. Telling others to do this, but not doing it yourself, keeps you in a place of stagnation and frustration.

When you put patterns into your life to live your beliefs, they become part of you, part of who you are and what you are. Many people talk the talk of being a spiritual being. Some put their beliefs into practice once a week, or only when they’re conducting rituals. Many forget that walking a spiritual path means walking it every moment of your life. It’s not enough to give it lip service to impress your friends, or give yourself a false sense of “living right”. It means “Walking Your Talk”.

Pretending you don’t have issues to heal doesn’t make them go away. Nor does it allow you to overcome their long lasting effects on your life. It only means hiding the anchor that’s holding you back hoping no one else will notice it either. But just as you might be able to see the blocks others have put up in their lives, some can see the boulders you’ve created in your life. Continue reading →

Show your creativity and inspiration today. An upside down cup isn’t empty, it’s a rocket ready to blast off. It’s a crown ready to be warn. It’s a vessel with bubbles ready to be released beneath the water. Look at things differently today and those things you thought were problems will become exciting opportunities for fun! Get out and enjoy the day!

Additional Insight:

Change your perspective and you change your world. Get rid of the pessimism and look at your world from a brighter perspective. Set your imagination free and see the impossible becoming reality in your world. Let the optimism lift you up and carry you through solutions that bring forth more opportunity.

Constantly seeing the negative, or the “not enough”, or the “too late” only keeps you spinning your wheels in the mud. The world of “not” can never change or move forward. It only goes in a circle repeating the same messages, the same lessons and deplete your energy and resources.

Get rid of the self-doubt, the moments of being unsure or knowing where to start. Erase the rhetoric of the negative nay-sayers and life long doubters. You’ve already overcome expectations, so why continue to live in their world of fear and judgement. They only want you in their world so they can feel better about their own inaction and failure.

Instill in your soul the unlimited energy of Creation from the Universe. Whatever the Divine means to you, that connection you have with that force is always there for you. It’s always available and always offering to help those who keep trying to do better. “God helps those who help themselves”. Not those who constantly express the negative, it’s no use, give me a wish and make it happen for me attitudes.

Let your adversary pack up their swords and sulk away. They lost the battle to control you and manipulate you to their will. There’s no need to chase after them to continue the battle. Let them go and don’t become jaded. Close the door on this chapter and look toward the clear skies that lay before you. Open your heart and mind to the loving possibilities that lay before you.

Additional Insight:

Remember that what you put out, you will get back. You’ve fought a good fight and you’ve won. There’s no need to decimate your enemy and break their spirit. Even if you think they deserve it. Their actions have created their own karma to deal with and they will answer for their actions. But don’t let it be by your hands.

You have more important things to do than to continue a war that’s already over. Walk away. Cut ties and move on. Your energy is better spent on healing and overcoming the harm that has been done. Don’t let the wounds become scars that always remind you of the past. Doing so will only keep you anchored in the pain of yesterday.

Close the gates on this chapter of your life and turn away from it’s negative impacts. Don’t hold a grudge against others you meet or expect them to react or do the same things as someone from your past. You’re not the same person today as you were then. And neither are those who are new to your world. Continue reading →

The pattern of energy is coming together nicely today. Keep up the Mindful approach and back up the thoughts with actions. Be at the ready for when news arrives. This is a message you will definitely want to deliver. But don’t get distracted. Make sure you stay on course and headed in the direction you’ve been working on.

Additional Insight:

All your hard work and planning is falling into place nicely. Don’t sit back and rest quite yet though. There’s still work to be done to finalize the deal. Don’t get discouraged or distracted by other things. Slowing down now will not go in your favor.

Be cautious of the direction you’re moving so that you continue to pick up the correct information. And more importantly, so you give the correct information to those who are waiting on you. You’ll have time to relax by the end of the summer.

If you hit a stumbling block that you can’t see around, talk to those you trust and who you know has been there before you. Their wise counsel will provide some unique solutions you didn’t expect, or didn’t know about. Rely on their successful experience and heed their wise warnings. Even if the scenario they’re describing isn’t part of your plan, the solution they implemented could give you ideas for the challenges that may present themselves on your path.

A pattern is emerging to protect and defend what’s important to you. Things on your plate are not complicated, nor should they be made into more than they are. But don’t block your view from the changing skies. There maybe opportunities that require adjustments to attain their benefits. Align your goals with the Divine Universe and create your dreams with ease and confidence.

Additional Insight:

Swords represent Strength & Weakness, Endurance & Struggle, Respect & Animosity.

An inverted card doesn’t automatically signify negative energies or messages. Rather they can simply be trying to inspire you to look at things from a different perspective. See things from the other side, or in a different light. Gaining a higher insight to see the entire picture.

When you align your goals with the Divine Universe you change your perspective to view all aspects of a situation and not just the things that are right in front of you. You can see how the choices that have been made are laying out the patterns for the future. And this will help make adjustments and tweak some tasks that aren’t moving in a direction that’s best for you.

Don’t be afraid of altering your course. Fear is a weakness that can take you far off the path you want to be headed upon. It can increase struggle, create frustration and animosity, all of which can prolong the journey and weaken your resources. Continue reading →

Don’t let anger blind your judgement. Lower the swords and end the battle. Today is a time to come together and put the fight to rest. Enough has been lost and the time has come to bring peace and compassion to your domain. Be in the moment and revel in the change that’s present in your day. Share a hug and show your love to those on your path.

Additional Insight:

Victory can only be achieved through peace and tranquility. Others will go out of their way to push your buttons today. Don’t let your instinct to become angry cloud your judgement. The swords of war will cross both ways and can damage both sides equally.

Recognize the passion and perspectives of the other side. That doesn’t mean you have to agree. But allow their views to exist in their moment. You can’t “make” others change and see things your way. But with love and compassion you release their hate and walk away from their manipulation to force you into their view.

Don’t allow their staunch criticism become your baggage. But don’t allow their hate to jade your personality or your character. You have more to lose on your path of change than they have to gain from forcing you into a battle you don’t need to be in.
