Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Pentacles – Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Forces are at work under the surface to bring forth what you want…and what you need. Don’t give up yet. Take advantage of opportunities when they arise. Don’t let fear hold you back from reaching for the brass ring. You’ll never know if you can grab it, until you actually try to reach for it.

Additional Insight:

Things won’t happen on their own. It’s not enough to wish or pray for things to get better or to happen the way you wish they could. You have to put real effort behind that positive energy. Stop limiting your opportunities by thinking you don’t deserve this, or qualify for that. No one ever got anywhere by saying “I don’t” or “I can’t” do something.

If you see an employment listing you’d like to have, apply for it. The worst they can do is ignore you or say no. Big deal. But you never know what might grab someone’s attention and give you a shot at the big prize.

If you see a work order that’s bigger than you’re little company, consider bidding on it anyway and giving your company a chance to grow.

If you see a position at school that you’d love to be involved with, go ahead and ask if you can be involved with it. Even if you don’t get the paid spot, you might be able to get in as a volunteer or unpaid assistant. The experience alone might be the bigger reward!

There’s nothing wrong with something you want and asking if you can have it. You never know, the answer may actually turn out to be yes!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Even though you have the strength to break through the walls of limitation, you don’t have to use a wrecking ball. Sometimes letting go and moving on from others requires compassion and love. Don’t yell at your friend(s) who are always negative and putting limitations on you. Use love and compassion to explain to them you’re working hard to change your life. And sometimes that means releasing things…and people…who aren’t good for you.

Additional Insight:

Negative thinking breeds more negative thinking. If you’re getting to the point where the negativity of others are bringing you down and zapping your energy, then it maybe time to look at your choices. You can’t learn their lessons for them. You can’t change them when they are dug into the misconceptions and hate. But you can make the choice to walk away and allow them to live their life, while you grow and move beyond those limiting actions.

Remember you have free will and choice. You decide who you want to be with and hang around. You can use compassion and let them know their constant hate is wearing thin. Let them know you are moving on. Ask them if they would like to change their life for the better and learn to be positive? If they say no and put you down. You have your answer. Give them a hug and walk away. Let them know it was nice while it lasted, but there’s no room in your life for their brand of hate and anger.

It’s your choice. It’s your life. Take control of it. When you close a door of negativity a new door will open and the void will be filled with better options and uplifting friends.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Sometimes you have to turn things upside down and go beneath the surface to discover your own self love. It will allow you to move beyond the limitations held by others of your own potential. It will provide you strength to discover new ways of being yourself. And it will help you seek new roads to travel that can provide safe passage around the obstacles others try to lay in your path.

Additional Insight:

When you replay those negative thought patterns that others have said, you are allowing them to pre-program your subconscious view of yourself. If you allow this and take in those negative comments, you are giving them control over your life. Do you really want their assumptions and negative perspectives of you to hold you back and limit your ability to attain your dreams?

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to ignore the baggage others try to set at your feet and walk away. It’s not your mission to carry their negative energy, so don’t pick it up.

Instead, believe in yourself when others don’t. Tear down the walls that force you down the path they limit you to. You don’t have to make a big production out of it. You don’t have to announce it to the world. Simply look in the mirror and tell yourself I’m worthy, beautiful and smart enough to reach for the stars and make my own journey into my dreams. I release the past limitations and fly freely with love and confidence.

Now walk your own path and release the hate, anger and limitations of others. Remember the only constant in the Divine Universe is change. Sometimes you have to make the changes happen in order to release the chains of stagnation.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Lovers

Nov9

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t simply go through the motions and pretend. Saying the words means nothing, if you don’t honestly mean them. Look in the mirror and tell yourself “I love you”, then follow it up by hugging yourself. Mean what you say and allow yourself to let go of the negative talk and dislike. You are worth loving! So love yourself first.

Additional Insight:

How do you expect others to be in-love with you, when you don’t even love yourself? How you feel and see yourself from the inside gets reflected to the outside world. If you feel drab and ugly, others will think of you that way because this is the view you project. Everyone has something about themselves they don’t like. But that “appearance” is not who you are. You can change the appearance by changing the inside first.

Replace the negative talk with positive affirmations about yourself. You are beautiful, inside and out. Smile and be happy with who you are and that will be reflected to others. If you have a habit or characteristic about yourself that you don’t like, start changing it. Create a self-affirmation that replaces the negative with a positive.

For instance, if you complain about other people and how they’re always negative; are you not doing the same thing by making that statement? Tell yourself “I see the best in everyone and everything through the eyes of love and compassion”. Each time you start to say something negative, recite that affirmation. Over time, you will change your behavior and your view not only of others, but of yourself as well.

If you’re always frustrated or angry, tell yourself “I am at peace. I allow life to flow through me with compassion and love.”

If you always feel stressed out over the little things that happen in your day, tell yourself “I find calm within. I carry life with ease through the strength of love.”

Create your own affirmation and change the negative patterns in your life. The more you replace the negative, the more you’ll see your own beauty and allow others to see it too.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Lessons of spirit are in play. The crystal mountain that lays before you is not the final destination in your journey. It’s only the next goal. Allow yourself time to sit within the mountains shadow and direct its healing through your heart and mind. Become a reflection of its compassion and care. Walk Your Talk© and see the world with better eyes.

Additional Insight:

When we see the world through eyes of hate, anger and frustration, we spread that negativity through those around us and out into the community. It’s not enough to say you believe in “God” or go to your place of worship each week and mouth the words to a recorded message. Lessons of spirit run deep and they cannot be avoided. Don’t walk your path saying one thing on your day of worship and doing another when you get back home. The hypocrisy doesn’t go unnoticed. Not by those around you and not by the Divine spirits you honor.

But when you do Walk Your Talk©, you can look at the world through brighter eyes. You can see the good in people, the compassion they often have for one another in times of disaster and the caring for their community when concern is needed most. No matter what their skin color, sexual preference, religious or political beliefs; human beings come together and help their neighbor in need.

Why can’t we walk in that shadow of spirit in our everyday life too? Be an example of the loving Divine spirit and open your arms to healing. Not only healing within your own heart, but within your community, state and country as well.

Many Blessings to everyone, in love and compassion. – Spring

Creative magik is afloat today. You have reached the pentacle of hardship and it’s time to remove the bindings that have held you down. But be cautious. There are still enemies out there who would want to secure those bindings with chains the next time around. They are afraid of where you’re going, and their fear leads them into darkness. Show compassion and light the way. If they refuse to follow, you may have to leave them behind for the good of your own self-interests.

Additional Insight:

How you move forward from this moment on will dictate the progress you make. Take one step in anger, hate, or frustration and you could stumble down the hill and be caught in turmoil again.

Use your freedom wisely and try to help others break the binds that hold them back. There’s no need to argue, no need to get frustrated or yell. Simply hold out your hand reassure those who feel an unrealistic fear about the future.

Take your time and don’t rush through anything over the next three to six months. Consider the consequences of your actions before you take them. Make sure you’re willing to live with the choices you make, not only in how they impact you, but how the effect those around you.

Walk with love and acceptance, compassion and gratitude and you’ll find sure footing on your path forward.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

With the whirlwind of activity going on around you, there’s no way you can stay in the shadows and hide. Your attitude is being noticed, good and bad. Make sure today, it’s much more good than bad. Smile, be friendly and help others resolve their little problems and get things done. Your work will benefit you more than you can realize today.

Additional Insight:

It may not be in your nature to hide. But you have been doing a lot of that lately. The more the Divine Universe takes notice, the more you’ll be put in positions where you must be in the limelight. Why are you fighting so hard to stay hidden? It doesn’t support the dreams you have and the goals you’ve set. So your actions are in conflict with your thinking. And that is creating greater stress, anxiety and frustration that is strongly affecting your health.

Stand up tall and proud. Smile and step into the spot light. Show what you can do and why you deserve the attention and leadership role you’re dreaming about. No one else can do it for you. And it’s not going to come to you wrapped in a nice neat box on a platter.

Leadership takes work, effort and the ability to trust your instincts. Express your confidence, while still remaining humble and respectful of others, their ideas and suggestions. And today you could shine brighter than you could imagine.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Devil

Nov5

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

That little devilish character within is trying to tell you to relax and have some fun. Things have gotten way to serious lately and the perspective is causing you to miss the little fun things or humorous things that happen in everyday life. So stop waiting around for those big moments of celebration, they are few and far between. Instead enjoy all the little things that happen throughout the day that bring a smile or giggle or even a laugh or two. Besides, smiling makes you live longer.

Additional Insight:

One thing about being on a spiritual journey is that you learn to take more responsibility for your choices and actions. That personal accountability isn’t something to take lightly. It’s one reason why some people say “ignorance is bliss”. But for those on a spiritual path, the knowledge you gain should not be a burden or add to the weight you’re carrying on your shoulders. It’s not something that should focus your attention on the serious issues or choices that fall across your path. Rather just the opposite.

Walking a spiritual path of enlightenment should teach you that even though your free will and choices create accountability, they should also teach you that you’re not alone. You are also empowered to create the path of your dreams and that all things are possible. The knowledge you gain toward enlightenment should lift the burdens that weigh you down because you discover not only what’s really important and what has true value in your life.

When you understand this, the burdens in life are lighter and much easier to carry. The seriousness of stress and anxiety weakens and you can enjoy the little exciting and fun moments that pop up during the day.

Smile because you know all things are possible and you have the power to create them. Smile, laugh a little and let that mischievous devil out once in a while.

Start celebrating, you’ll find victory today and through the weekend. Your hard work is paying off and though it hasn’t felt like it, things are turning around. Don’t forget to acknowledge the spiritual energy you put out as well. Take some time to celebrate your balance of mind/body/spirit in both the physical and spiritual aspects. You’ll be holding up the trophy of success sooner than you think.

Additional Insight:

When we remember that we are both physical and spiritual beings, we can work toward our goals with ALL our energy and resources. Consequently when we do achieve success, it’s important to remember both natures in celebration and honoring the unseen energy that helped you get there.

While it maybe a good weekend for celebration, don’t forget to spend some time in quiet and reverent reflection. Perhaps a little ceremony to thank your spirit guides and the loved ones from spirit who helped you get through the struggles.

No one is an island and there are many, both seen and unseen who have been there for you, pulling for you and perhaps even helping you along the way. Don’t forget to say Thanks while you celebrate your own hard work.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Spend time looking into your crystal ball and deciding what you really want. Stop feeling guilty over wanting something more than you have. Dreams keep you reaching up and working to attain that which you desire. Dreams give you hope and aspirations. Dreams are what keep you going when you face the hardships in life. Sometimes dreams are exactly what you need to overcome the struggles of reality and get you to what you need.

Everyone faces varying degrees of stress and challenges. Yours may not be as bad as others, but they can still weigh heavy on your shoulders. Constant worry creates dis-ease within the physical body and can cause even more stress and anxiety.

Dreams can help us escape from those physical pains and mental dilemmas. They can help us find solutions, direct us to lessons we are facing and ways of overcoming them. They can provide a relief and express our inner desire for a better situation or place to be. It’s ok to have dreams, when they help to provide hope and strength.

Let yourself dream. You can become all you dream and aspire to be. Let your dreams give you the inspiration to go back to school, apply for that new management position, plan and budget for that overseas trip or find the happiness you desire in your life. You never know what you can achieve until you try.

~~~ A little disclaimer:

Dreams can be a very wonderful tool to help overcome challenges. As long as they’re kept in check, as long as they don’t create an unreal reality that you work on in your physical world; (stalking a movie star isn’t going to help simply because your dreams says you belong together). But the feelings of love and inner beauty, can fill your being and shine through all that negative self talk you do during the day. If you believe in you, then others will too.
