Optimal Times for Profound Readings
If you’re reading this, you likely enjoy a good tarot reading.
One of my friends this week asked me, “When do people usually get readings?”
That answer varies immensely.
Balance Your Elements of Life
With the Summer, I often find it challenging to keep my life in harmony.
Through the tarot lens, we can find answers to finding our own best inner equity by considering what elements we are giving our attention to.
Today, I want to offer you a short meditation on how to consider care-taking the other fields over the next few months.
When is it Intuition and Not Anxiety?
As an Intuition Coach who helps people harness their inner guide, I have to be a constant student.
This week, a bittersweet lesson reminded me of the additional benefits of this practice.
Schedule in Summer Stress Relief
Summer can feel stressful with all the abundant options for fun and work and gardening and house projects and and and . . .
I constantly have to remind myself to schedule in downtime and leave space between big efforts.
That’s why I am grateful to be grounding inward on Tuesdays with some quiet community scribble time.
Love Your Animal Self
In my early twenties, I decided that the duck was my ‘Spirit Beast’. I decided to call it that to be funny, since a duck is not so beastly.
It fit me. I had a quacky voice, a waddly walk, a love of travel, and my sense of humor fit the bill. (Get it . . . the bill? Haaa . . . yeah . . .)
At this point, I was working in the Film industry in New York City. Kindness was not common, and I had to shake off a lot of attitude and ego from colleagues and managers and diva clients.
A mantra came to me from my divine ducky guides.
“Water off a duck’s back, Quack Quack”
Whenever someone would lay their bad mood into me, I would recite this to myself and shake my bottom twice on the words ‘quack quack’, wicking off the wet of their unwanted energy.
It helped a surprising amount. I could keep my head high and my mood light when the NYC grumps were rampant.
What do You Want to Create?
Confession: I have written 3 books, but none of them are finished yet.
I love writing, and I even don’t mind editing, but I am scared of publishing.
So I fuss with each of these tomes now and again, and then get busily distracted by more ‘important things’.
I get anxious about the idea of failure . . . what if all of this is for nothing?
I get intimidated by the idea of success . . . am I ready for my voice to be heard on a wide scale?
And, gosh, isn’t it more important to get some Spring cleaning done anyhow? Yeah, that’s a more immediate necessity . . .
That’s why I find it both ironic and deeply moving that, last week, my friend Dawn dedicated her newly published book, Cracking the Resistance Code, to me!
The Magic of Being Kind
What is the most essential knowledge that reading cards professionally for 16 years taught me?
I have learned -deeply- that everyone is hard on themselves about the same thin
From the successful mid-life leaders, to the uncertain mid-twenties dreamers.
Everyone feels like they’re not doing enough.
Myself included. This week was not a very productive one. I got sick briefly and then couldn’t get back into the groove. You know the story, because it’s normal for all of us.
So my work this week became forgiving and feeling through this sense of failure to relaunch after a head cold.
Moon Shadows Inspire Change
Last week we had a solar eclipse in Aries, and this upcoming week on May 5th, we have a lunar eclipse in Scorpio.
While I am not an astrologer, I do like to keep up with the suggestions of how to make the most of each phase we are in.
This lunar eclipse can bring to light the hidden ‘shadow’ feelings we have been ignoring, especially around our connections with others.
We might have some new insights on how we want to shift our relationships in meaningful ways.
How to rock Mercury Retro
I didn’t believe in Mercury Retrograde for years.
It took a man mocking me at Burning Man to change my mind.
I had arrived on the desert playa with a bruised rib cage from a kite boarding accident the week before wherein I had been “teabagged” when a powerful wind and my complete lack of skills collided. I was ripped into the air and dunked back into the water three times.
The man on the playa listened to my stories of woe and laughed that I was describing retrograde adjacent problems while saying I didn’t buy into it.
I had signed up for too many things at the same time, and Mercury Retrograde will spank you for that.
My Ack!Knowledements
I have been thinking about validation lately.
People often reflect that my tarot readings are validating, and I enjoy being a stranger who can reflect back what your intuition is saying.
More poignantly though, I have been talking about acknowledgement with my therapist a lot.
Because I desire approval and I don’t like that appetite.
Can you relate?
We seek it from friends, lovers, family, and, to an unhealthy degree, random strangers on the internet.
Often these groups don’t reflect what we want. But we keep going back anyway.
Why?
