Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You don’t have to bite back to make your feelings known. Show a little of your teeth and others will get the message when they’ve crossed the line. Be calm today and don’t over react. Sometimes a quip and a smile is nothing more than an attempt at levity. You’ll know when someone is being serious and needs to be put in their place. Trust your instincts and don’t allow the trappings to distract you or cause you to feel weak or self-conscious. You’re too smart to fall for the lines that are disingenuous and designed to manipulate.

Additional Insight:

Control your temper and stand up for yourself. Whether it be in social or business situations, someone is trying to manipulate you today. Don’t let their “status” cause you to feel diminished or not in control of your life. Your strength is exactly what they like most about you and why they’re trying to control you.

You’ve been pushed around enough and you maybe still healing from the last person who tried to put you down. But remember bullies aren’t as strong as they think they are. They use fear and threats to maintain control of others. It only takes one person to stand up to that wall of silence to break it down and allow the flood gates to come pouring in.

Emotions may be overwhelming today as you could be feeling as though you’re hanging by a thread. You’ve managed to free yourself from the past anchors and chains. That’s given you the strength and courage to keep fighting. Now push the ties that bind you on a physical level and get to work on the next steps. You must let go of the energy you’ve created on the ethereal, and set the prayers aside to manifest. It’s time to focus on the physical aspects of your goals and create your opportunities in the here and now.

Additional Insight:

Death reminds us that our lives are in transition. That’s a good thing. The only constant in the Universe is change. The last thing we want to be doing is fighting against Universal movement and trying to keep things stagnant and un-evolving.

We’ve all been working very hard on the spiritual energy for Divine Creation. Concentrating on the visual aspects of our goals and plans. Lighting a candle and saying a prayer, conducting rituals and seeing ourselves doing the things we want through meditation. It’s great to visualize yourself doing what you want. But at some point you have to do something in the physical world to keep those dreams moving forward. Continue reading →

As you grow and expand your views, you will leave others behind. Don’t be afraid of their opinions and hide your wings. Be proud of who you are and spread your wings to discover new heights. Not everyone is going to agree with you and that’s ok. You don’t need their approval to be who you are. You are the only one who can be you. Be the best you possible with confidence, kindness and love of self. Do that and others will stop trying to make you into the mold that makes them comfortable and holds you back.

Additional Insight:

Don’t get hung up on the negative opinions of closed-minded people. They’re stuck in the gloomy shadows intolerance and afraid to accept anything different from themselves. They breed hate, anger and anxiety over things they know nothing about, and limit their experiences in life.

These are not the people you need to gain approval from, no matter who they are. Family, friends or lovers, cannot validate you. Only you can do that.

The unknown isn’t a scary place. It’s a place of excitement, adventure and wonder. You don’t have to become part of the things you discover. Learning about new things doesn’t turn you into those things unless you want to accept them and pull them into your life. Continue reading →

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Above every fire of chaos is a warm thermal that can lift you up and out of danger. Allow the hot air to fill your balloon and take you away from the stress and anxiety. You don’t have to be a part of the battles, especially the ones that aren’t yours. And you don’t have to go down with the ship. Be in control of your own life and make your own choices.

Additional Insight:

Others might be falling into a pit of despair but you don’t have to follow them. While they fall into chaos and destruction, allow yourself to let go of the sinking ship. Free yourself from the heavy energy and allow yourself to glide upon the uplifting winds.

Watch the big birds outside your window and learn from them. They don’t exert themselves unnecessarily. They glide on the wind, and ride the tides of up and downs. They don’t panic, they simply change coarse and look for another updraft that will lift them high into the air.

You can do the same thing today, by walking away from the heat of battle and destruction. You can’t save others who don’t want to be helped. You can’t fight their battles for them. And you can’t learn their lessons or work on their karma. It’s time to let go and stop trying to do everything for others and start doing for yourself! Continue reading →

Don’t let the worry, make you weary. You may feel like you’re in a cluttered mess, but remember…that stuff is filling up your baskets with good things. Spend your time being content and relaxed. Even though things aren’t neatly in their place, the abundance is present and not getting lost or wasted.

Additional Insight:

Sometimes a cluttered mess is just a creative pile of abundance you haven’t organized yet. Don’t get all upset over losing something or wasting things amidst all that’s going on. This weekend, spend time relaxing and being content that everything will get done in time and as it should be.

You’re worrying over things that aren’t going to happen or aren’t even in the cards. You’re feeding the worry and it is making you weary. Stop it already. Sheesh!

The ones you fear most aren’t looking over your shoulder. So let go of the anxiety. You don’t have to impress them, you don’t have to justify your actions or your schedule to them. All you need to do is focus on you and your plans that are coming into manifestation. Allow yourself to feel empowered, break the container and don’t let others contain you in their limited perspectives.

You’re not alone. Someone “up there” is looking out for you. Abundance is coming, you don’t have to go on a big search for it. You’ll be sharing the prosperity soon enough. Try not to worry and trust that all the work you’ve done is coming to fruition. Things will work out as they should. And maybe even as you want. Be patient and have faith!

Additional Insight:

Keep doing what you’ve been doing. Focus on the work at hand and not the worry or trepidation. The security you seek is already around you even if you don’t realize it or see it set in stone. Be patient and keep the faith.

Remember everything happens for a reason in its right time and place. Don’t derail your train by making rash choices or decisions that come from desperation. Whither the options are related to finances, home or relationships; today is not the time to panic. That choice made from despair will indeed cause more problems and potentially put you right back at the beginning again.

Keep your faith strong. Believe in yourself and all the work you’ve done. Stop worrying about things coming in too little to late or you’ll make it happen. Stop looking at the storm clouds as ominous messengers and see them for the vibrant sculpted beauty that they are. Even the most beautiful of well-kept gardens needs rain to survive. The snow and ice you worry about are needed to refill the reservoirs for the hot summer months. Time to start looking with better eyes and see the positives in the events of the day.

Have Faith, Not Hope.
Hope is a beggar. Faith is a Believer.
Hope walks through the fire. Faith leaps over it.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You don’t have to walk on egg shells at the expense of your own feelings. Your views and emotions matter and are as equally valid as the next person. It’s another day to stop being the door mat! If you’re not in a place where you’re being valued, than perhaps it’s time for a change. Either start standing up for yourself and stop letting others put you down. Or move the negative people and places out of your life. You’re the only one who can change things for you. So stop making excuses and get to it.

Additional Insight:

You can’t take care of others at the expense of yourself. You’ll wear yourself down and have nothing left to give. Remember that burning the candle at both ends, leaves nothing left for you and will knock you off your feet. If you’re laid up sick and exhausted, you’re not going to be any good to those around you.

Wands represent the essence of Enterprise & Inaction, Inspiration & Pessimism, Distinction & Disregard. Utilize the magik of wands to implement your inspiration to attain distinction for yourself. Get up off your knees, stop begging for what you already deserve and end the bullying or manipulation of your thoughts, ideas and work.

Time to stop seeing the things you need or require as a selfish expense or action. It’s ok to say “No” when you’re trying to take care of yourself. If someone gets mad because they “expected” you to do what they wanted, remind them that they have no right to place their expectations on you or your day. They have their own lessons to deal with and learn. You don’t need to sacrifice yourself to appease or save them. They asked a question, the answer was no and it’s their problem if they choose to get angry over it.

Pay attention to the details and the fine print. Someone is trying to step on your tail and stop you from taking flight. Either by riding on your coat tails and holding you back. Or worse, by sabotaging your work. Keep your eyes peeled for tale tell signs. Don’t be afraid to call them on the carpet or use your horns for defense, if needs be. This is your forest, you may need to defend it for your own success.

Additional Insight:

There’s two things to remember about the Devil. First, he’s not a “God”, but he is a leader, a ruler of his own domain and he’s not afraid to stand up for himself and claim what belongs to him. Secondly, as part of the Tarot’s Major Arcana, he reminds us that his lesson is one of spirit and karma.

You’ve spent enough time being walked over and manipulated. Time to knock it off and rule over your own domain! You don’t have to be a door mat to anyone. Life is about balance and sometimes that means you have to be strong and courageous. You don’t have to be angry, you don’t have to be mean or vicious. But be confident and stand up for yourself!

Mother Earth is trying to provide you with healing and energy to keep going. But someone has put them self in your way and is trying to leap over your successes. Be cautious of their devious plot and make sure you’re standing up for yourself and your own work. Continue reading →

Take time to look up what you don’t know. Making assumptions today can get you in a bit of a pickle. Make sure you understand the requirements and what’s expected of you before you commit to something. Focus on the reality and not the “what you want it to be”. You’ll save yourself some heart-ache and maybe even some money.

Additional Insight:

Don’t throw caution to the wind and fly off in a dream. Be honest with yourself and take time to review what’s really happening. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. So don’t rush into something that you may regret later.

What you’re hoping for, may very well be what’s presented to you. But if they are, they’re worth waiting for and they’ll be there next week. If they’re not, it’s better you discover the issues now, instead of looking at your situation with rose-colored glasses that will cloud your judgement. Once those glasses are broken, there’s no getting them back.

It’s ok to look for the best in situations, to see the best in people and walk through the day with Faith that you’re going to be taken care of. Having a positive outlook creates opportunity, good surprises and success. But remember life is about balance and all things must be tempered in some measure of reality. Continue reading →

You can light the way through the forest and ensure everyone is safe and sound. Even if others are feeling upside down and out of energy, you don’t have to go along with the crowd. Stop being afraid to guide the way. You have a chance to be the stand out leader in the crowd. Show them what you’ve got and you may find some unexpected rewards in return.

Additional Insight:

You know how to get through the darkness, because you can see the light at the end of the journey. Others are still grasping at straws and looking down to ensure they don’t stumble or fall into a pit of despair. You know that constantly looking for the negative, creates that self-fulfilling prophecy. So avoid the pessimists and stick to the glass half full mentality.

While others think that being upside down means losing all they have, you know better. You’ve already been there and done that. Your experience gives you the understanding to look at things differently and see what’s hidden beneath the leaves.

It’s not as dark as some think it is. Success comes in many forms, shapes and sizes. Sometimes those upside down flowers are best used as umbrellas keeping things dry. Or they can provide much-needed shade to escape from the hot sun. But they can also contain refreshing gifts of abundance, for those willing to take the time to explore and discover their offerings.  Continue reading →
