The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Cut things down to a manageable size and shine a light on the individual pieces. You’ll be able to stretch your energy and resources across the board much easier and get things done. Keep the worry at bay, as it will not serve you well in this situation. You will succeed, even though it’s through unconventional means. The world awaits, now show ’em what you’ve got!

Additional Insight:

If you allow fear to dictate your sight, you’ll continue to be overwhelmed by the whole puzzle. Don’t allow the light of the day to blind you from seeing the little things. “Let go and let the Divine” take care of you. Have faith you’re being guided in the right direction and what’s best for your path at this time.

Change is never easy, but it is inevitable. It is the only constant in the universe. Work with the flow to take care of what you need to do. The more you try to push things into place, the more resistance you’re going to face. So stop fighting so much and give others the opportunity to help you out.

Begin by cutting your day in half and focus on the imperatives that must get done before 3pm. Take one at a time and focus on where it goes, what needs to be done to find its place and you’ll fit the pieces into the puzzle with ease. Then take the next big thing and do the same with that one.

Some of your maneuvers might be out of the ordinary, but give them a shot. Try looking at the pieces from all directions, even if that means moving around the table and studying the images from the opposite view. When you find a solution, don’t be afraid to present it to those in authority. The worst someone can do is say no. But you’ll never know if the unconventional solution will work if you don’t at least give it a try. You could be pleasantly surprised when someone says ok, let’s do that. Continue reading →

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Use your magik for self-sufficient goals and ambitions. You will find success if you focus your energies on one common goal that benefits all. Balance your thoughts with your actions and put effort into positive choices. It’s not a day to throw caution to the wind and live outside your means. Be accountable and responsible today and through the weekend. What you need will become available in time to meet your deadline. Trust that the Divine is here to take care of you. And you’ll aid in making it happen.

Additional Insight:

A side note here:
When I pulled the card today the first thing drew my attention was the over-abundance of Orange, gold and yellow. In the color correspondence method I follow these colors denote a significant theme to today’s (this weekends) message.
Orange – Confidence, ambition, pride.
Gold/Yellow – Success, creativeness, jealousy, selfishness.

And don’t leave out the fire which signifies passion, inner strength and ambition. Adding all this to the Wands of magik suggest today’s message is about your inner energy, what’s within you, your spiritual work and how you use it on your physical quest to face life (good, bad or indifferent). It’s a weekend to use your magik and put your practices into real action. Don’t simply think about them. Actually do them and get them done.

With the Full Moon energy still surrounding us, tonight is a good time for a special ritual to put energy toward what you need.

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

You don’t have to throw yourself on your sword to get what you want. Sometimes letting it go and moving on is the better choice of action. Don’t sacrifice your integrity or your character to have it now. It won’t really be what you want and the cost is way more than the gains you’ll see in return. Be patient today!

Additional Insight:

Sacrificing yourself to get what you want now never works out in the end. That kind of success is fleeting and the promises made are never what they were professed to be. Don’t ignore your gut instinct for the sake of getting what you want today. Your inner feelings are trying to keep you from harm and making a bad decision.

Right now things are not what they seem to be. Remember the old adage, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. And the price you’re being asked to pay isn’t worth the sacrifice you’ll make. Your reputation is at stake and that’s the biggest weapon in your arsenal to achieve your real goal. Don’t throw it away for instant gratification that won’t last the long-term.

Be gracious and kind today. Especially to yourself. Say thank you and appreciate the offer. But take pride in wanting to get to the top on your own with your integrity intact. When you do refuse the offer, be careful not to turn your back on those making it. There’s more going on here than meets the eye and they’re trying to get you to do something for them without telling you what it is. Continue reading →

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Leap for joy and choose to live your life with passion instead of trepidation. Set aside the little things that get you worried and create fear. Appreciate the things that bring you smiles and happiness. Be mindful of your negative thoughts. If you don’t love your life, change it; don’t keep complaining about it. Have the courage to change what’s within you that brings you down. Make the conscious decision to feel blessed and be happy. Then make it so! You’ll change your whole day and even the rest of your life, if you keep that feeling alive.

Additional Insight:

The life you live is a reflection of person you are inside. If you don’t like yourself, or any aspect of yourself; change your perspective. Accept who you are and revel in your differences. If there’s something about your appearance, or a habit you don’t like, stop complaining about it, stop putting yourself down about it and change it.

You have the ability to lift yourself up above water and hold yourself in the light with passion. But that begins with having compassion for yourself. For love means nothing if it doesn’t come with compassion. You can’t love yourself, or others, with negative self talk and constant criticism. Love you. Live your passion and revel in your ability to adapt, improvise and overcome. You deserve the effort to fill your life with joy, excitement, love and passion.

If you want passion in your life from someone else, and you don’t have it; then look at the thoughts and feelings you give yourself when you look in the mirror. Do you love you? Do you care about what happens to you when you walk out the door. Do you see yourself and then put you down for what you see? Stop it! Geez! You’re worth loving, so how about starting with loving yourself!  Continue reading →

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Don’t ignore the aspects of the whole and live in the moment as a complete spirit. Huh? Your Mind, Body & Spirit make the whole of who you are. Don’t ignore one part of your being when you’re living in the moment focusing on another part. When you’re mindful of what you’re doing, from the perspective of why you’re doing it, you can tap into the Universal Creative energy to understand, create and ‘be’ so much more.

Additional Insight:

Bringing together all aspects of self covers more than your existence of Mind, Body and Spirit connection. It can also impact the past, present and future of your journey through life. When we realize that we’re not alone and we are connected and interconnected to all things, seen and unseen, we can overcome any obstacle or challenge that stands in our way or causes us angst.

Allowing yourself to be Mindful at every moment, helps you rise above petty events and can help you see why they’re occurring. What is it you’re trying to teach yourself and why. Is it karmic? Is it merely a lesson you want to experience? Or an event you wanted to help someone else with? Seeing the bigger spiritual picture can help you understand so much more and thereby help you find solutions that will get you through challenges much easier and without all the drama.

You can also discover how your little word, burst of anger or simple choice of action really does impact the world around you in greater ways than you might think. The ripples can grow and flow much further than you may imagine and you want to make sure they benefit you (and others) toward success. Outbursts of frustration and anger won’t do that.

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 →

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

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.

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

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).
