Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

No one can take away your confidence and pride. No matter how much you may have given up in the material world, there are some things you simply cannot lose. Unless, you give it away yourself. Don’t lose faith in your ability to succeed and give up who you are for a false promise. You’re worth more than that. And you deserve better!

Additional Insight:

Desperation makes a very bad bed fellow.
Don’t give up and give away your very soul.
~ Springwolf 🐾 © 2000

All things around you are changing, and they are moving in the direction you need them to go. You may not be able to see the destination, but that doesn’t mean you should get off the trail and look for another route to where you’re going. That desperation will lead you down a path of greater pitfalls and struggle. Stay the course and ride out this brief lack of confidence.

You deserve more and indeed you’re working toward making things better. But the unknown that’s holding you in fear can divert your good intentions and judgement down a path of false promises. Don’t give up the ship for the little dingy that will not hold all the rewards you deserve. Continue reading →

Sometimes all the little jabs can add up and pull you down. Don’t be so hard on yourself and remember that feeling sad is just as much a part of living in balance as being overjoyed. You can’t appreciate happiness, if you don’t understand the sadness. But don’t let the struggles overwhelm you. Each one is nothing more than a passing moment.

Additional Insight:

Try not to overlook the little things in life,
because the big things don’t happen very often.
Finding a thrill in everyday events is Priceless!
~ Springwolf 🐾 ©2000 

In the world of spirituality and life coaching we do a lot of talking about choosing to be happy. Starting the day with positive thinking and creating the day you want. But in paganism we talk a lot about living in balance and striving to achieve a balance in all things. And that includes your emotions.

Feeling sad isn’t a bad thing. Having a good cry every now and then is a very cleansing experience. It pulls up the energy of struggle, disappointment and challenge in a release that “gets it out” and gives you a chance to let it go. Holding it in all the time can keep that energy churning away within and eventually causing physical illness. Finding healthy ways to face it and let it out can help you release all the little thorns in your side that have piled on and weakened your resolve. Continue reading →

You may feel as though troubles are raining down upon you today. But you’re much stronger than you think you are. You really aren’t losing the battle. In fact, if you pay attention to details, you’ll discover that the negative events are falling by the wayside. Stay calm and you won’t become the target. You’ll be able to weave your way through the fire and escape without issue.

Additional Insight:

There’s a lot of change going on in the world. A lot of it is pushing people and events to change when they don’t want to. That’s creating turmoil for those who are moving forward and welcoming the shifts needed in their lives.

If you’re one of the people going with the flow and enjoying the adventure, you can still feel the anxiety going on around you. Especially if you’re sensitive to subtle energy shifts. Don’t worry. It’s not you. Try to set some shields of protection and push away the fear, anger and turmoil of others. Don’t let their struggles become your battles. You may find yourself in a fight that has no value for you.

If you’re fighting against the tide and trying to keep the status quo going, you’re putting yourself in the line of fire. You’re being pushed out of negative or bad situations and toward a better environment. Don’t fear the change, revel in it. Accept that some things have to change in order for you path to get better. You’re not where you should be and the Divine in your life is trying very hard to get you moving. Continue reading →

Once again you need to pay attention to the flow of your thoughts. Things are not upside as your anxiety is telling you. Stop expecting the bottom to fall out or you will make it happen! Keep within your means, do what you can and you’ll control your environment with ease. Letting go doesn’t mean throwing caution to the wind. It means actively participating in the here and now, to focus on your positive future.

Additional Insight:

Don’t create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Letting go of your anxiety doesn’t mean you can ignore your budget or your work load. It means you must release the negative thoughts that hold you back from taking care of those things in your own life and being consciously responsible for your choices.

You can’t throw caution to the wind, say I let go and let ‘God’ and then go out and spend what you know you don’t have. You must live in the here and now, with an eye on the future. Swinging the pendulum to the other side of the extreme is no better than living without. Today strive for the balance in the middle.

Focus on the even keel and you’ll discover you’re not losing things from your baskets, but rather adding to them. Your anxiety won’t get the best of you, because you’re being accountable. You’re reasoning things out and setting up a plan to have the little things you desire, while still working on the really big things. And you will be able to do both, if you keep calm.

Be open to receiving and what you need will present itself. Be careful that your annoyance at situations and at certain people don’t close you off to welcoming what’s coming back your way.  You maybe holding things together with a string. But you’re strong enough to get through the delay and wait for the rewards. Remember, things happen in their right time and space. As long as you’re open for it to happen.

Additional Insight:

Things aren’t always what they seem. You’re not losing ground even though you may think you are. Those thoughts are nothing more than your anxiety getting the best of you…again. Turn the focus upside down and you’ll see nothing is falling out of your baskets. You’re still on track and things are still ok.

Remember to open your arms and catch the things that are coming your way. They’re not really rewards, but rather things you’ve worked hard to achieve and bring into abundance. So stop waiting for the other shoe to fall. It’s not going to happen!

Instead, keep control of your stress and pay attention to the little gains you’ve made. Things aren’t nearly as tough as they were this time last year. Or as tough as they were the year before that. You have come a long way and you are making strides. Keep your head on your shoulders. Keep yourself open to receiving good tidings and let the Fae bring some magik into your day. Continue reading →

Calm the Dragon within. Don’t hold onto seething anger or you’ll end up making yourself sick, along with making a bump in the road into a mountain. You’re being held up, not to teach you a lesson, but because someone else needs to learn something. Be patient through the weekend, it will work out by Tuesday.

Additional Insight:

Don’t complain to those who can’t fix the problem. You’ll only feed energy to the problem and make it grow. Let the person who broke the agreement know how their actions have impacted you adversely.  Their inaction has consequences beyond what they see and they’re not the only ones struggling.

Today and through the weekend however, you need to focus on your commitments. Don’t make promises you’re not sure you can keep. If you can’t count on others, then go about your business as if their promises don’t even exist. That way you won’t be held out in the cold and your word will still have value.

If your commitment involves financial obligations, contact those you have agreements with. Let them know what’s going on and ask for a delay in payment. Or ask if you can fulfill the agreement in two payments if possible. You never know what will happen if you don’t ask. And the worst thing they can do is say no. If you are honestly trying, the Divine will be on your side and a little magik could be at work. So take the chance. 

Don’t get jaded, it only gives more energy away to the one causing you pain.
Instead, forgive so that you can rise above and set yourself free!

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 →
