Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be careful with your reputation, you don’t want to be branded as a snake. Your word must be your bond, full of honesty and infused with integrity. Do what you say, and keep your promises. Your character can be a benefit to your life, if you treat it with respect and reverence.

Additional Insight:

Say what you mean, and mean what you say.
Or don’t say anything at all.

Twisting the truth to fit your narrative shows a lack of integrity and defines your character as a manipulator. Having the reputation of a snake will impact all your relationships, personal and professional. It may work briefly. But such actions will catch up to you and make it harder to win friends and influence people. Continue reading →

Rest, but stay vigilant. Keep your eyes on the details, as well as, the entire landscape. A shift in movement is occurring and you need to be aware of those changes. If only to plan your next move for the weekend or coming week.

Additional Insight:

There’s no need to continue fighting, you’ve taken on the latest challenge and won. But that doesn’t mean you can sit back and rest on your laurels. You still need to keep up the effort to move forward and not become stagnate or complacent. Doing so could hand the momentum back to the forces trying to hold you back or cancel out all the ground you’ve gained.

You have earned the right to feel confident. Allow that feeling to bring you a little peace through the rest of the week. But stay ready to pick up your banner again next week. There’s still much to do.

The Raven tells us we’re going through a metamorphosis and change dominates the terrain. But we must continue to look through the fog and see what’s really going on before us. We must attain clarity in our vision. What we see, hear and think may not be the truth or what’s really going on behind the scenes. There’s a difference in what we want to see, what we’re willing to hear and the truth. Continue reading →

The prize has been won. Healing can now begin in earnest. But don’t give away your heart just yet. There’s still deception in play that can bring the rug out from underneath your feet. Remove the rose-colored glasses and listen to your instincts.

Additional Insight:

Something isn’t right today and you already feel it. Don’t try to talk yourself into ignore your gut feelings. Just because someone is being nice and trying to make amends, doesn’t mean they’ve changed or they’ve abandoned their plans to cause harm.

It’s ok to want to think the best of people and have a positive compassionate attitude. But it must be balanced with a measure of caution and real honesty from within. Those rose glasses you’re wearing have gotten you into trouble in the past. Why do you think your instincts are less valid than others around you? Stop it! And listen to that gut feeling.

It’s a day for abundance. Making deals, sharing the wealth and being content that everything is in order. You will need to keep an eye on things. As something is trying to pinch a few pounds from your baskets. So it’s also a good day to remember that not everyone has it as good as you. Be kind and show compassion to those less fortunate.

Additional Insight:

For most people the last number of years have been tough. But many were able to persevere and struggle through the hardships. We’ve lost a lot, but we’ve also gained a great deal in the form of spiritual lessons as well. That often doesn’t help the healing process for all we had to let go of, but somewhere within, we know we’ve moved forward on our path.

The Four of Pentacles lets us know we’ve come full circle and things are improving. We can’t throw caution to the wind. And we do have to be engaged in our future, no longer leaving it to others to determine our fate. There are still those out there, who want to take what we have out of desperation or worse, out of greed. Don’t turn your back and hope everything works out in your favor. Those days are over.

Nurture your spirit with strength and respect for all those around you. Don’t judge a book, person or situation by it’s cover. The truth is on the inside and in the details. Make sure you employ critical thinking when confronted with all situations and you’ll be able to find your way out of the negative actions of the crowd.

Additional Insight:

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

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the emotions of the crowd. It can be easy to allow others to manipulate your feelings, especially if it relates to something you’re passionate about. But inflammatory headlines or information designed to solicit knee jerk reactions often don’t tell the truth or purposefully twist facts to attain a specific and often undermining response.

It’s a magikal day, so don’t waste time. Contemplate on the successes you’ve had this year. You’ve accomplished a lot more than you’re giving yourself credit for. Enjoy it. And take a little time to be confident and allow your experience to take control of any bump in the road.

Additional Insight:

Euphoria is in the air today. Don’t let it slip by with being blue. Make the choice to be happy and feel blessed. Your garden is in bloom, and you can take a little time to rest and relax. Look into your crystal ball and let your mind wander in dream and vision. Even if it’s only for 5 minutes. The only one putting stress and strain on your day, is you.

When you’re calm, work on the tasks you have on your plate. But don’t let deadlines rush you into anxiety again. You’ll get more done by being calm and allowing yourself to think about the here and now. If you’re constantly worried about tomorrow, you’ll divert your attention from what needs to be done today.

Live in the moment.
Worrying about tomorrow diverts your attention from today.

Abundance is all around you. Stop focusing on the lack and see the blessings that are right in front of you. Financial abundance is helpful and necessary to some degree. But it means nothing if you have no one to share it with. Make sure you give quality time to what really matters in your life.

Additional Insight:

It’s hard struggling from day to day and it can drag you down into a cloud of negativity. No one likes to be the person who has to always say “No”, when someone else asks for something. The burden is on the person who takes care of the books. If that’s not you, count your blessings that you’re not the one everyone else gets angry with.

Abundance comes in many forms within the Divine Universe. Be Mindful of what you’re creating within your domain. Love, family, friends, health, along with those material necessities are just as important as the financial abundance many focus on. Remember how we think creates our day and draws the same thoughts into our lives. If you focus on lack, that’s all you will find in your day. Time to change your thinking. Continue reading →

You may feel tied up in the details, but don’t worry. They’re not the sticking points that will limit your options or choices. Trust in your experience and knowledge. You’ll be able to spread your wings by the afternoon and overcome the obstacles that are in the way.

Additional Insight:

Swords are a sign of Confidence and Strength, or struggle and animosity. Keep your frustrations in check today as you work through the problems that present themselves. There maybe a lot of little problems, or one big thorn in your side. But you have what it takes to handle it all and come out smelling like a rose.

Like the past few days, there’s a lot of tension in the air and it’s spreading around you. You don’t need to add to it by allowing your emotions to get the best of you. Take everything in stride and keep your reactions in check. Even that sigh of frustration could set someone off in a negative way, with the roof caving in on you. Continue reading →

Listen to your own tune amidst the struggle and strife around you. Everyone seems to be on edge today, so don’t add to the tension or worry. Search for your own space and surround yourself with the things you love. Your music will sooth the soul and the day will eventually come to a quiet end.

Additional Insight:

There maybe a lot of yelling, anger and animosity today. Like yesterday, there’s no reason to get involved. None of this concerns you and none of this is about you. So continue your effort to be the peaceful beacon that shines with hope. All this “in fighting” will come to an end. Maybe on a gradual scale, but it will come to an end.

The important message today is to make sure you don’t become baited into the fray. Others might try to unload their side of the story on you. That’s ok, if they came to you. Let them vent. But don’t let them drag you into the battle. You’re only hearing one side of that story and frankly you have no idea of knowing if that side is true, or only what they want to you hear. Continue reading →

Stay vigilant, do your duty and keep your eyes peeled. There is much going on today, causing distraction and muddying the waters. Don’t get caught up in the sleight of hand attempts to divert your attention from what’s really important. Doing so could cause you a great many problems on your own door step.

Additional Insight:

While others are in turmoil today, they’re doing everything they can to alter the truth. If you allow yourself to be baited into their fight, you will lose much of what you have gained over the past 6 years. Keep to yourself, and stay in your place. This isn’t a time to bring war to your door.

You only have to worry if the battle enters your domain or the arrows come flying in your direction. Don’t rush out defend your borders. Those “in charge” will reign in the foes and pull them back to where they belong. Continue reading →
