Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Seven of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Let the past go. You’ve done all you can and it’s time to move forward. It is what it is for a reason. You may not see it now, but it will become clear in 7 cycles. If you continue to fight for the past, you will prolong the sorrow. Change isn’t easy, but at this time; it is necessary.

Additional Insight:

Haven’t you struggled enough? You’ve been fighting the changes around you and trying to hold onto the old patterns for long enough. The Divine Universe has tried to show you the way to the path you should be taking, but you keep looking behind you. What has been is gone. Put it to rest and let it go.

You’ve mourned, you’ve become angry and you’ve struggled. Now turn all that energy toward what lies ahead and welcome the changes. Spread your wings and take the journey with excitement and joyful anticipation. You’ll be glad you did. And you’ll find yourself in a much happier and better place.

Allow all efforts you’ve made to change, to work its magik and manifest from Divine Creation. Let the wands wave and the inspiration of your spirit take you in the needed direction! You may just find, it’s not only where you need to go, but where you want to be as well.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t splurge. Sit on what you have. The real important possessions are held in those you are closest to. It’s not in the material things you’d like to have. Those possessions won’t comfort you when you’re down, they won’t hug you when you need love and they won’t celebrate with you when you rise above the struggles. Focus on the quality of time together. The the quantity of “things”.

Additional Insight:

Our society is focused too much on what you have in the material world and not what you have within your spiritual world. Many people can’t afford to celebrate the holidays with giant presents under a tree, if they have a tree at all. The Cosmic shift in energy that’s occurring is helping to remind us of what’s really important. You can fight it and be left behind. Or you can allow the change to guide your steps and change your view.

Instead of being upset that you don’t have the latest gadget to spend time away from you family. Get out a game board and spend time WITH your family. Laugh together, share stories and memories. Go outside and walk in the woods. Point out the little things in nature that you’ve been missing all this time and remember what life is really about.

The love and compassion you share between each other is the real focus of the cosmic shift. Survival of the most spiritual isn’t about what you can buy, how big your house is, or how fancy your car is. It’s about how you relate to those in the world around you. Do you see them? Or can’t you see past the screen on you pc, tablet or smart phone. How many times have your kids said “Mom”/”Dad” and you ignore them because you’re focused on the next text message, or Tweet, or story notification on your phone?

Your survival depends on you. Not on whither or not you picked up and shared the latest bogus internet story. So disconnect and focus on the eyes of your child, the smile of your partner, or the love from your parents, siblings or best friend. These are the signs of abundance. Enjoy them.

Read the fine print today. The devil really is in the details. Remember if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. If you can, avoid signing contracts today. Give yourself time to read them over and look at what you’re getting into. Don’t let desperation lead you into a bigger hole.

Additional Insight:

Sadly the world is not filled with compassionate businesses. Be careful the deal you’re handed is benefiting you equally as it is for the person making the offer. Sadly some will try to use your stress and anxiety to turn a phrase that sounds great for you, but in the end gives them the upper hand and chance to take something away from you. Maybe even something you thought you saved.

Asking for help isn’t easy. In fact, It’s Hard…Asking for Help. But let those who are choosing to give you help, burden you with guilt. They have a choice to help or not. No one has twisted their arm or held a gun to their head. So if they help you, it’s their choice to do so. Be gracious, say thank you and show your appreciation. But don’t take on additional burdens simply because they want you to feel deeply indebted to them, or to have some power over you.

For today, simply watch your back. Take your time. Don’t rush into anything. Don’t let others pressure you into the deal by saying it won’t be here tomorrow. If it’s meant for you, it WILL be there tomorrow. Trust in your instincts and that the Divine in your life really IS working on your side. Even if no one else is.

Hold steady today and allow the Divine energy around you to cushion your path. You’ve had enough hard knocks. The Divine in your life is guiding your path upward though you may not see it or feel it right now. Don’t make rash decisions or give up on your options. It will be ok.

Additional Insight:

You have a lot going for you under the table, even though you can’t see it. Allow the positive energy you’ve put forth all year to create the path you are to be on. What you “need” and what you “want” may not be the same thing. But you are being guided to a better place and to a place that needs you as much as you need to be there.

You done your work and put forth your dreams and desires. Now stay the course and allow that energy and effort to manifest as it’s intended. Giving up, changing direction or tossing it all away because it’s not working out as quickly as you want it to will only set forth blocks in your path.

It’s not a time to do nothing. Don’t sit there and expect things to appear out of no where. You still need to move forward with the plans you’ve been working on. So make the phone calls, keep the appointments, meet the deadlines you set. But don’t work against those things out of frustration or a defeated attitude.

Hold still for a moment. Take in a deep breath and release the stress. See the success of your path being showered with yellow rose pedals to celebrate your success! Visualize it. Feel it. Know it. And it will be.

If you need additional focus, don’t forget the 5 Minute Alignment Meditation practice. You can do that meditation every morning to set your day on the right path and gain guidance for where you need to be and the direction you need to go through out the day.

Things seem upside down, but don’t worry too much. The energy around you is finally balancing out and bringing you to the place you “need” to be. You’ve been dwelling in the negativity of stress and anxiety for so long that it’s become common place to you. But this isn’t the right place to be. The energy is shifting and moving toward the positive and the lighter, brighter side.

Additional Insight:

You’ve gotten so used to the battles of the war that you’ve nearly forgotten what it’s like to be at peace. Balance lies in all things, physical, mental and spiritual. You’ve done great work on the spiritual. You’ve made strides on the physical (though there’s still work to be done). But it’s the mental you’re struggling with and that’s where the imbalance is shifting.

Stop thinking the world is against you. Stop thinking you don’t deserve better, or that you deserve to be punished for past choices you made. What’s done is done and you’ve paid the price for it. Now it’s time to clear the psyche and allow positive energy to take over and balance out the past. To get there, you have this final hurdle of the past to overcome.

Let go of the past thinking. Accept the gifts of others, big or small with grace and appreciation. Allow others to thank you for the kindness you’ve shown them and in turn you’ll receive kindness. Don’t sacrifice yourself or give the shirt off your back and then refuse gratitude for doing so. That self sacrifice isn’t doing you any good, nor is it making you a kinder or nicer person. Refusing thanks is like telling someone to “take this” and then slapping them in the face when they say thank you and bake you some cookies.

Be gracious, show gratitude and allow the kindness to come back to you. It’s going to work out. Don’t give up!

Unexpected help pops up today. Don’t turn it away worrying about what the underlying motives are. This time, there really maybe none. Unexpected acts of kindness can come your way too. And together you’ll make the day a great success!

Additional Insight:

You deserve compassion and assistance as much as the next person. Allow it to come into your day and say thanks. You’ll be able to pass it on and repay the compassion at a later time. Don’t feel guilty about it, or worry about what it “says” about you!

It’s the season of love and giving. So allow someone to feel good and give you something you need today. Graciously accepting the gift will not only give you good points, but it will help someone else repay the karma they received from someone else.

To pass it on, you first have to accept what it “is”.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t ignore the suffering of others. Many people have it worse than you do. You feel like lashing out, so don’t be surprised when others do the same thing. Instead of meeting anger with anger, try to show compassion and kindness. Spread the love, instead of the anger and hate.

Additional Insight:

It’s easy to allow the mood of someone else to affect your own. Emotions are like a virus that can be spread from one person to the next. Before you know it, the anger and frustration has infected an entire community.

But all it takes to stop the spread is a little compassion, kindness and love. Touch someone’s shoulder and let them know you’re sorry they’re having a bad day. Tell them it’s going to be ok in the long run. Explain there are a lot of people in the same boat and we all need to pull together and help each other through the rough times.

If they share their woes with you, don’t judge their situation. Don’t give into their story either. You never really know what’s going on and you don’t want to be taken advantage of. But you can listen and offer suggestions for them to find help that they may not know about.

A kind word can be a powerful thing and it doesn’t take a lot to change someone’s life on a significant basis. You never what “little” thing you share that might instigate healing and provide the opportunity for a personal epiphany.

Keep a watchful eye over your playing field today. Don’t take action until you’re sure of what’s going on. Games are being played in different parts of the field and it will help you to stay above the fray and watch the movements before you try to engage those in the game.

Additional Insight:

Keep your advice to yourself. Apply it to your own play ground and let the others sort out their territory and turf for themselves. If you try to offer suggestions, you may find you’re giving your adversaries advice for taking over your play ground. So be careful you don’t give away what little you have.

Sometimes it’s much better to be a big fish in a little pond, than a little fish in someone else’s big pond. Be patient and take care of your own responsibilities. Your actions are being noticed. So don’t let others trick you into being a “team” player when you’re not even part of their team. They’re trying to manipulate you into the fight and use you as a pawn that can be easily sacrificed.

It might be hard to walk away. But you’re better off simply grabbing some popcorn and walking out of the arena and finding some quiet place to get your work done. If you’re a boss or a leader, you might make sure your team is focused on their work and not getting involved in the neighboring battle. Their actions maybe a reflection of your ability to manage your own playground.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Tower

Dec4

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Out of destruction and chaos comes rebirth and growth. Times of trials and hardship brings lessons and messages for the soul, mind and heart. We may not see the lessons while in the midst of turmoil. But they are there all the same. How you work through the challenges in your life is more important than what those struggles are. Do you meet them with strength, compassion and perseverance? Or do you face them with anger, indignation and blame? You are the one who chooses the path ahead.

Additional Insight:

You can complain, feel victimized, beaten down and depressed. You can lash out at everyone around you because your stress and anxiety is at its limit. You can become angry and blame everyone else for the predicament you are in. But the bottom line is….you made the choices that brought you to this point in your life. Others may have created the circumstances that provided you with choices. But you made those choices, not them.

Everyone has moments when they reach their limit and feel overwhelmed. Without sorrow we cannot know happiness. But how we move through those depleting emotions determines how we move forward through them. If you can sit down and align your thoughts and energies with the Divine in your life; you can find renewed strength to endure and persevere. Have compassion for yourself and your feelings, but don’t allow those emotions to hold you in the tower of destruction.

Being angry, lashing out at others and expressing hate for others as a means to blame someone for your dilemma’s will only bring more negative situations to your path. Like a magnet you’ll attract the same energies and emotions into your day, that will seep into all areas of your life. From family, work (or no work), finances and friends, little by little you will lose the things you value the most dear.

It’s ok to sit down and cry for a moment. Lay down in a dark room and try to find comfort in your surroundings. Or take a long walk, go out and exercise or do something that brings you peaceful solitude. Do whatever it takes to get those emotions of sorrow or anger out of your system and release them in a manner that will not harm others or yourself. Then, take a moment to conduct a quick 5 Minute Alignment Meditation to connect your energies to the Divine in your life and re-energize your focus to create the path you desire.

Your best bet is to fly below the radar. Let the turmoil around you go on without you. Don’t get involved in the battles of others. Karmic lessons are being played out and they need to happen. While you may feel compassion for those on the losing side, remember they brought this on themselves and you can’t safe them. So don’t put yourself in jeopardy.

Additional Insight:

Don’t forget that some who are facing the music are doing so because of their ulterior motives that attempted to undermine you and your success. What we put out we get back. Make an effort to destroy someone else and that effort will destroy you.

Someone is trying hard to involve you in something you had nothing to do with. Be careful, if you allow that to happen it can get you in a lot of trouble. So make sure you understand the battle and that you truly should be a part of it before you come to the defense of someone else.

Don’t allow them to bait you into the fight. Lies are being told and deceptions are flying like leaves in a wind storm. You won’t be able to weave and duck to miss the fray. So stay off the battlefield and out of the arena entirely and you’ll be ok.

Sometimes it’s hard watching others face the consequences of their actions. Whither we care about them or not, our compassion for others can get in the way of what’s best for us. But we can’t learn their lessons for them, nor can we take responsibility for their choices. The best thing you can do right now, is let them work things out on their own and deal with the consequences they created.
