optimism

This week, I got some guidance toward the colors of the energies that we’ll be immersed in this coming week. This is the first time that this has happened and I’m still trying to integrate it into the readings, so if you have any questions just let me know.

Some days have a rather short reading, but I get the feeling that a lot of this week’s energy has to do with the decisions we make on a daily basis. Nothing is “set in stone” so to speak until we actually take the first steps on the path we choose to make. Make a conscious effort to set aside time each day to be still and get in touch with your heart center. The information and knowing that comes through this center is very valuable at this moment.

Along those lines, energy is fluid, so the specific influences of the cards may be felt prior to and in the days after the card is pulled for. This is especially true for Major Arcana cards, signified by a capital M in parenthesis. Reversed cards are signified with an R in parentheses. If a card is reversed, it means that its energy has not fully manifested yet. This week, we seem to be building to a crescendo of energies which arrive on Saturday.

The theme for this week seems to be balance.

Daily Tarot Reading ~ 2/17/13

I've mentioned before that Cups are the suit of emotions and feelings -- basically anything that happens in your inner state is represented by this suit. It is associated with the element of water. Court cards also have a specific meaning. Pages are like a playful child - acting with pleasure, spontonaeity and a symbol of adventure and possibilities.

We've been taking an adventure inside of ourselves lately, to clear out any remaining "gunk" - you know, the stuff that no longer serves you. Old belief patterns, relationships, habits or routines, etc. It's time now to love ourselves in spite of all of that. Accept ourselves for what we are and work on improving the items we do not like. You CANNOT do this for anyone except yourself. "Be the change" as Gandhi would say. The Page of Cups could indicate an opening in your life which will call to it. If you're worried you will miss it - you won't be able to ignore it. This opportunity will pull at your heartstrings and your emotions until you act on it. Don't be afraid to, please! It could also indicate that there is a child or young at heart adult whose interactins with you involve emotional needs, moodiness, love, intimacy or spirituality. REgardless, the Page of Cups reminds us that at all times, we are surrounded with great Love. Don't be afraid to express and enjoy yourself!
