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

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - Knight of Swords : Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Make room for the spiritual journey and expand your perspectives of righteousness. Thinking, speaking and acting superior to others based on personal beliefs is not walking the path of virtue. It closes off the heart and the ability to show compassion. Your way isn’t the only way, nor does it authorize you to degrade or disrespect the ways of others. Whither the walk is one of spirit, relationships, family or even in business other views can still get the job done. Rise up and walk the path of knowledge and wisdom through the actions of tolerance.


Additional Insight:

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

Walking the path of superiority only brings stress and strife into your life. Being virtuous means you allow others to have their own thoughts and ideas even if you don’t agree with them. As long as those ideas are respectful to life of both human and nature, you can find room to respect and tolerate.

Having a sense of superiority in spiritual belief can carry over into all aspects of your world. Relationships are harder, family dynamics are colder, even professional and work situations can become tougher.

Today and through the weekend, spend time expanding your understanding of others and the walk they tread. Learning about others doesn’t mean you will become what they are. It doesn’t mean you’re questioning your own beliefs either. It means gaining an understanding of others and maybe discovering you have more in common than you once thought. Continue reading

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

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - Ace of Swords : Inverted

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Constantly looking for a fight chains you to the past. There’s a difference between protecting your interests and walking out the door fully armed for any and every battle. If you keep looking for the fight, you’ll never find the peace and calm serenity you claim to want. Time to start looking with better eyes. Put down the sword and walk among the smiles of joy.


Additional Insight:

Time to review how the past has created automated responses in the situations of today. You may feel that this new situation is like the one you’ve been through before, but it’s not the same. You don’t need to react in the same knee jerk reaction and repeat the same pattern of drama.

You cannot change the past.
You can only change the way you allow the past to affect
your present and your future.
~ Springwolf 🐾 © 1989

Focus on what you learned from the past. Take a deep breath and control your own emotions and guide your own decisions. Don’t give your power away to someone else who is trying to manipulate your response. When you’re in control of what you think, say and do, you’ll be able to  guide your own journey and break the negative patterns.

Stop envisioning what you’d say if they were before you or what you would do if you could back in time. Contemplating what you’ll say or do next time to get revenge or come out on top of the battle doesn’t help to release the negative energy that is still impacting your life. Let it go already and forgive. Yes, seriously, forgive them of their transgressions; because in the end you allowed yourself to be manipulated. Fairly or unfairly, it was a lesson you decided to learn. Now learn from it and let it go once and for all. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: King of Cups

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - King of Cups

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

Remember to honor the gentle side of nature, or you could risk losing something that’s near and dear to your heart. You don’t have to be the soldier king and rule with an iron fist to maintain leadership or authority. The more you ignore the inner feelings you have, the more chances you have at becoming stopped in your tracks. Showing your compassionate side allows your inner wisdom and magikal insights to bring balance and justice to your domain.


Additional Insight:

It’s ok to show your sensitive side and allow others to help you in a time of need. You don’t have to be the big strong ruler that can do it all. Especially since that’s an illusion and far from reality. Asking for help isn’t weakness, its courage in action!

Stop taking your ill feelings out on those around you and misjudging situations that don’t need scrutiny in the first place. The constant irritation at the little things only brings about negativity and attracts more ill energy to your world. You’re literally making yourself sick.

If you continue to ignore the needs of your mind and body, you’re more likely to make a bad situation even worse. Pay attention to your inner gut feelings and listen to the messages they’re trying to share. Whither you need someone to help get you through a difficult time, or perhaps a short visit to your doctor, you need to admit you need a little help this week. Continue reading

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti - The Page of Wands

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti

You can be the herald of good tidings, but be careful how and to who you share your news. But discernment is needed today. Not everyone needs to know what you have discovered. You could share what you’ve learned with the wrong person and create unwanted competition for yourself. Be cautious and express your excitement to only the folk you trust the most. When the decision is in the bag and you have the fruits of your labor in hand, then you can wake the streets as the Towne Crier and revel in your secret, along with your success!


Additional Insight:

Share your good luck and fortune with those who have your back and will help support your efforts. But don’t let your excitement in your discovery get the best of you and cry out to all those in town. Some folk out there don’t want you to succeed. And they’ll use your information for their own gains.

You shouldn’t assume everyone in your office/class are on your side either. There are some who are trying to get an upper hand and they won’t mind using your information to better their efforts in your small circle at your expense.

Where you share your news is as important as who you share it with. Be cautious on letting casual conversations being overheard and letting the cat out of the bag. Your discretion can win you favor and good points with decision makers. Even if you don’t realize they’re paying attention. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Star

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell - XVII The Star

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell

You can be the star and shine brightly to inspire others. But be watchful over your ego and always remain humble. You didn’t get where you are on your own. Leave the arrogance behind, or it will be your undoing.


Additional Insight:

Any form of fame or stardom come with their own unique responsibilities. Whither you’re a star on the stage, on a field or track, or a pulpit, you will be looked up to and admired. Even if you don’t want that. 

Every one of us are a Star to someone, be it a mate, parent, or our own children. You have a big part to play in the stage of your own life. Make sure you’re playing the role with honesty. Be who you really are and don’t hide yourself from those around you.

Keeping that secret hidden only fester the light into something dark and unwanted. It can alter your perspectives, which can in-turn alter how you look at others, how you treat those around you and even how you look at yourself.

Whatever it is you don’t like about you, now is time to change it. Stop hiding behind fear or excuses. Love yourself and let your light shine so that you can light the way for others who need someone to inspire them out of the darkness. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Eight of Pentacles

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell - Eight of Pentacles

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell

Line things up in priority of time and importance. You’ll be able to reach the top of the tower of success much easier that way. It’s a day to get things in order and make sure you’re manufacturing the correct pieces for your projects and doing so on a timely basis. It’s not enough to work on the little bits here and there. You need to make sure you’re staying on plan, on schedule and on budget. Count your pennies and go through the calendar of due dates. Then prioritize the work that’s left with an eye on when they need to be done. You’ll get through the weekend with a greater sense of confidence and security, knowing where you stand.


Additional Insight:

Don’t leave things undone this weekend. Merely working on pieces of your plan without prioritizing which items must be completed first and by what date, will only slow your progress overall. You must take time to organize all your projects and line things up on the calendar.

Make sure you contact those that need to work on parts of your puzzle that will get you ahead of the game. Don’t try to force things into position with the wrong tools. You’ll end up breaking the part you need and the one that’s very hard to replace.

Be patient, but diligent. Do the little work you really don’t want to do up front and you’ll save yourself time and money in the long run. And getting those pieces completed in the proper manner won’t seem as tedious and annoying as you think they are in the first place. Simply get it done and you won’t have to work with or contact those people again. Delay and you’ll keep them in your world a lot longer than you want to. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Moon

The Moon

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Let your confidence shine today and highlight the beauty you are. Both within your spirit and on the surface. Others will take notice of the efforts you put forth and commend you on your presentation. But more so on your inner nature that shines. Not only for yourself, but in how you support those around you as well.


Additional Insight:

You are practically glowing with inner strength and empowerment. Be humble and allow it to spring forth to light the way for others to find their own confidences. Don’t shy away from compliments or go out of your way looking for a kind word either.

Remember that one persons confidence is another persons arrogance. So walk the day in balance and don’t be afraid to share your howl. There’s strength in numbers and you could use some support as you try to attain the next level of your goals and dreams.

Remember to dream big and give yourself the opportunity to reach for the brass ring. If you don’t at least try, you’ll never have the chance to attain it. Bask in the glow of your spiritual energies and you’ll reflection of beauty will be all around you. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Two of Pentacles

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell - Two of Pentacles

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell

Simply believe in yourself and you’ll ride out the storm without getting your feet wet. Powered by the infinite creative energies of the Divine Universe, anything is possible. So don’t be afraid to dream, and allow yourself to dream big! You never know what could happen when you remove the limits from your conscious mind.


Additional Insight:

It’s bad enough when others set limitations on our goals, dreams and the ultimate journey we’ve chosen to walk in this lifetime. But imagine how much of a detriment it is when we do it to ourselves.

You’ve been riding out this storm for years and now the sun is breaking through and you’re running above the water. Pay attention to your thoughts and you’ll not only keep your head above water, but you’ll likely keep your feet from getting wet too.

Anything is possible if you believe it to be at your doorstep. The Divine Universe holds infinite possibilities if you’d only allow yourself to dream of them, reach for them and give yourself permission to grab hold of the brass ring and take off flying.

Remember everything in life is about balance. Too much of anything isn’t good for you. But that also means that not enough of some things isn’t good for you either. Hold yourself with confidence and self-esteem to remember that you are the perfect embodiment of your greater spirit in this moment of time and space. Only you can achieve your lessons and walk your talk. No one else can learn for you, or discover the wisdom you’ll gain from the experience.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Three of Swords

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell - Three of Swords

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell

Be careful you’re not clogging up the works with your attitude. Don’t allow your fight with the weather related aches and pains over shadow your every mood.  Make an effort to be in balance today and everything will work out fine. Create a harmonious concert between Mind, Body and Spirit and things will go smoothly.


Additional Insight:

Take a moment to balance out your energies and wash the bad mood away in the shower. Imagine the warm water is a refreshing waterfall of white light purifying your body and washing away all the stress and anxiety. See if filling you with the pure yellow energy of success.

As you turn off the water, imagine the steam raising up from your skin to create a compassionate pink and gold protective energy shield. See all the colors of light gently moving in a clockwise motion in and around your body, maintaining you through the day.

If you do need something to slow down, you’ll have a better chance making it happen from a place of calm spiritual unity. Letting yourself build on anger and stress won’t get you what you want and will probably make things worse.

You don’t have to stay pissed at the world if you got up on the wrong side of the bed. You are an intelligent creature with a concise mind that has free will and choice. If you don’t want to feel angry, then make the Mindful effort not to be. That’s all there is to it. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Two of Wands

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell - Two of Wands

The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell

Let it go, if it’s meant to be; it will come back to you. But sometimes, you must let go of what you want in order to make room for what you need. Don’t limit your potential by holding on so tightly that you refuse to see the bigger picture. What you need is so much better and greater than even you might be willing to admit. Trust your higher spiritual self and Let Go and Let “God”.


Additional Insight:

Your heart isn’t always the best judge as it can express compassion that refuses to see the real message. Let go of the rose colored glasses and see yourself in higher esteem. You deserve more and you shouldn’t have to work that hard to get what you want most.

It may be a person involved in the current situation isn’t up to the task you desire. Or they’re really not worthy of you. So even if it hurts for a little while, let it go and move on. Work on your bigger plan and when the time is right, what you need will come. And it will be much easier and much better as well.

To often we sell ourselves short and forget the one we must put first is us. That includes appreciating your actions, allow you to make you happy and not being forced to depend on the whims of others. Stop hoping for the best and start accepting the idea that you deserve the best.

And don’t limit that by trying to hold lofty concepts of health, happiness and a good outlook on life. It can mean material things too. You’re part physical being, you do deserve nice physical “things”. You’re telling me if someone offered you a Rolls Royce over a Ford Escort, you’d say no to the Rolls? Not that an Escort is bad..I’m a Ford Lady myself! Even if I took the Rolls, I might sell it to buy a nicer Ford..who knows. Continue reading
