Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Swords-Inverted & Seven of Cups

10 of Swords - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It happens very rarely, but on occasion when I pull a card, two will fall out. And so it was this morning. I don’t believe in coincidence, so I try to share the message for both cards.

Ten of Swords – Inverted
You could be tied up in the details, with someone nit-picking at your efforts to focus and work. Try not to get frustrated or angry at them. They maybe coming to you because they’re worried about the situation going on around the office, school or wherever. And have concern for how it impacts them. Be compassionate, but stay at arms length.


Additional Insight:

Because you’re someone who has a reputation of being “in the know”, others could merely be pumping you for information. Don’t share what you know. Keep your confidences and information to yourself. Knowledge is power and the more you show you can be trusted, the more respect and authority you will have. Remember, your reputation is everything today! Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Six of Swords – Inverted

Six of Swords Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Every problem has a path to avoid the thorns, so make your choices carefully. Watch where you tread today and do your best not to get involved in someone else’s schemes. It could cost you a lot more than time and money. It could cost your reputation that you’ve finally started benefiting from. It’s a good time to stay to yourself and get your own tasks done. You’ll get ahead of schedule and stay out of the fray.


Additional Insight:

Notice:
The start of the summer break begins here on Thursday. We’ll be on a little vacation beginning May 26th through June 6th. The Tarot Meditation drawing will return  June 9th.

Don’t become embroiled in a fight that isn’t yours out of angst, frustration and especially revenge. Those emotions will only feed the negative around you and attract more of the same. Be careful that you’re not being manipulated into a false sense of camaraderie. If you do get involved, much of what you’ve been working so hard on could wither and die. And you’ll have a very hard time getting back on your feet. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Wands – Inverted

9 of Wands Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Get some rest and relax. Be careful you’re not over taxing your physical abilities or health. There’s no need to tie yourself up in knots over the little things that pass through life. Let others do the thinking for a little while. You need time to yourself to sleep, dream and prepare to stake your claim to what’s yours next week. For now, the scales are tilted in your favor. So you can unwind without fear or worry!


Additional Insight:

There’s no need to spend the day trying to over do anything, physically, mentally or emotionally. Not now and not through the weekend. You’ve gotten an awful lot done this week and it’s ok to slow down and unwind a little. Get your normal work done, but let yourself have a little break too. Take a long lunch or maybe leave a little early from work today. No one that matters is going to care because they know how hard you’ve been working. But do work it out with the boss first. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knight of Wands – Inverted

Knight of Wands: Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Keep your eye on things today, you could be missing something important. Don’t put off a task you know you’ve needed to take care of, but have been avoiding. You are surrounded by Divine protection and creative energy. Take advantage of that shield and make things happen. You’ll be surprised by the results.


Additional Insight:

There’s a lot of gold in today’s card and there’s a message behind that appearance. Darker Vibrant Yellow Shades such as Gold: denote Divine protection or Spiritual shields of energy.

While Wands Represent the essence of Enterprise & Inaction, Inspiration & Pessimism, Distinction & Disregard.

Be vigilant today and take care of long-standing tasks that you’ve been neglecting. You’re allowing your imagination to get the better of you and create a sense of dread. That desire to ignore the issues won’t make them go away, but could make them much worse than they need to be. Even if it’s something as simple as stopping by the mailbox and picking up the letters from this week. You have messages that need to be seen and dealt with and they’re not the big bad news you think they might be. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Pentacles

4 of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You have more than enough in your baskets to get you through the season. But be watchful, as someone is scheming to take what you have. Watch your back and make sure you have copies of your work and maintain your correspondence. You may need them to prove your innocence. But don’t let that negative energy cloud your day. It’s a good time to be thankful and to feel blessed.


Additional Insight:

While you’re busy being focused on personal issues, someone is using your distraction as an opportunity to grab what you’ve acquired. Be careful throughout the day and make sure you have a good inventory to fall back on. You may need to prove what you have is yours.

It’s important however, that you don’t dwell on the negative actions of others. Don’t let it overwhelm you or make you paranoid. That’s exactly what they need you to do. As long as you’re contemplating and over thinking things, you’ll be inattentive and unfocused which could cause a mistake in your work. Simply keep track of where you are, what you’re doing and who you’re doing it for. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Three of Cups – Inverted

Three of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Even when you turn things upside down, you make the choice for how you feel in Mind, Body and Spirit. It doesn’t have to be a challenging day. In every adversity there’s a lesson to be learned. Instead of getting angry or depressed, look for what the situation is trying to teach you. Accept the opportunity to change the pattern. Learn from it and you’ll never have to repeat it again. Even the hard lessons are blessings that can bring happiness.


Additional Insight:

Breaking patterns is not an easy thing to do. But as we age, we repeat events that were brought earlier in life intended to progress our soul toward enlightenment. They may have been karmic or spiritual experiences we needed to go through in order to view things differently. Whatever instigated them, they won’t be resolved until we accept their presence and choose a better way through the events surrounding the turmoil.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ten of Pentacles

Ten of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Share the abundance and bring everyone together. Hoarding it all to yourself will create animosity and anger. You’re not the only one who has been doing without. So take some time to help others who have been struggling as much as you have. There’s more than enough to go around.


Additional Insight:

Abundance comes in many forms. It’s not just financial abundance that can make a difference in the lives of family and friends. And there have been plenty of people who have helped you out over the past several years. Even the small things like sharing a free meal or dropping a cake by so you can celebrate a special occasion. Maybe even making room out of their day to drive you somewhere for an important errand.

The little things matter, because the big things don’t come around very often. Everything you need is right in front of you. Enjoy it. Don’t allow the tiny weeds to wreck your good fortune and keep you in a state of stress, anxiety and short tempers.

Animal Sign – Virginia Black RatSnake

Picture by Paul Sattler

My Friday the 13th, 2016 Adventure

It seems fitting to have an encounter with a black animal on Friday the 13th. We have cats, and a wild black cat hangs around house now and then throughout the week. So for us, cats aren’t unusual.

But this afternoon while I was going out on an errand, I ran into some traffic at the security gate to our neighborhood. Now if you’ve followed my blog for a little while, you may know we live on large lake in a gated community. We have a great deal of wild life around here, including various types of snakes. In and out of the water. But I didn’t expect to see a snake in the road in the highest traffic area of our entire community.

As I was pulling up to the exit side of the gate house, I noticed something in the road. People were driving around it or right over it, but either way, careful not to hit it. When I approached, I realized it was a snake. Two of my favorite security guys were out there, keeping their distance with another resident pointing and looking at the snake. But they didn’t seem to know what to do about it. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Star

The Star

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be the Star and create your own future. Go with the flow and allow the stream to take you where you need to be today. Fighting against the tied will only create havoc. So be easy going, follow the stream and you’ll discover opportunities that will allow you to make your own way over the mountain.


Additional Insight:

Let your sparkle shine and be noticed today. You provide the nurturing to your own creations and that will let them flow into public view. It’s not a day to sit quietly in your corner and hope the world sees you working hard and being dedicated. Sometimes you have to show the results of your endeavors to gain the attention you need to take things to the next level.

Don’t drown your sorrows or try to dull the emotions right now. You need all your wits about you for what’s to come. Running away isn’t going to solve the dilemma or promote your work. It’s only going to brand you as a ‘drama queen’. There’s no reason to be gloomy or down on yourself. It’s Friday the 13th, the day of transition and change! Welcome it. It’s a good day for letting things go your way.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Eight of Swords

Eight of Swords

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Emotions maybe tied up in knots today, but don’t let that overwhelm you. Go on about your business as if no one is trying to push your buttons or refuses to listen to your side of the discussion. Stay calm and ignore the negative tone of others. It seems as though everyone got up on the wrong side of the bed today. There’s no sense in letting others take their frustration out on you. Nor should you take yours out on them.


Additional Insight:

Stick to yourself today and remain quiet. Don’t share your opinions, don’t interject your assessment or share your review of someone else’s topic. It’s ok to be a little anti-social on this volatile day and tie yourself up with detailed projects that you can work on alone.

You’re not going to gain respect by spreading your overly critical opinion in this atmosphere. Everyone is feeling unheard and not understood. We’re in the middle of the Mercury retrograde where all conversation is a struggle to grasp and comprehend. It’s better to sit this one out while the conversational energy is pulling on all sides and creating confusion. Continue reading
