December 30th, 2013 - Monday - Change


December 30th, 2013 - Monday - Change - December 30th, 2013 - Monday - Changity change change.... Masculine and Feminine tussle but that's a distraction. Your doorway is closing. Time to ride the tiger. Get on. And go through the closing gate. All indications say today is the day. NOW is the time. You got a window, dive through it. Headlong. Don't wait. Don't think. Whatever you do... don't think.


Pass through that doorway to the stars:





December 29th, 2013 - Sunday - Valour


December 29th, 2013 - Sunday - Valour - It's Sunday... the war goes well... but you are tired.  Keep up the faith and keep battling.   But make sure you take time to rest and enjoy the spoils of your victory.

December 28th, 2013 - Saturday - Prudence - Ah... be patient today.  Manifest patience in your consciousness.  Pretty simple... patience, prudence, breathing.

December 27th, 2013 - Friday - Hierophant - Back to the grind for one day, before the weekend.  Culture calls you back.

December 26th, 2013 - Thursday - The Star - A beautiful day of hope!

December 25th, 2013 - Wednesday - Pleasure


December 25th, 2013 - Wednesday - Pleasure - Merry Christmas!  Don't overdose on pleasure today!

December 24th, 2013 - Tuesday - Pleasure


December 24th, 2013 - Tuesday - Pleasure - Good morning!  December 24th is always one of my favorite days, the anticipation of the whole season just flows me through me to a peak tonight.  I'll listen to the Little Drummer Boy, and I'll remember my Mother, singing Silent Night.  Meanwhile... we get the pleasure card... and why not?  A little healing in the flow of emotions says you are in a good place today, and you can ask for what you want.  How many of you want something... but aren't sure if you want to ask for it? Sometimes it's just plain hard to ask for things.  So many issues, layers of crap.  But... letting go of all that today we can feel that calm sensual flow inside us and we can say, hey... I want... I want.... I want.... And it's all good.  On the day before Christmas I hope you find some time to relax into this offering and get a little of what you want today.

December 23rd, 2013 - Monday - The Star


December 23rd, 2013 - Monday - The Star - Feeling Hopeless? Right before Christmas that might be a tough emotion to endure... but the open your heart, allow the hopelessness to seep in and through you.  Then remember... out of your head, into your heart... there is always hope.  Just hold on a little longer.

December 22nd, 2013 - Sunday - Strife


December 22nd, 2013 - Sunday - Strife - A day of strife.  The universe had some fun with power issues yesterday, and it's just telling you today that there will be a push and pull. It's all good, because what results from this strife will be good solutions to problems. You'll get through it better, stronger, and more secure.

Saturday, December 21, 2013

December 21st, 2013 - Saturday - Power


December 21st, 2013 - Saturday - Power - The magical twists of today lead to ultimate surrender and opening.  Try something novel today, try letting go of the tiller, and let go of your power.  You have it... you are a benevolent dictator... but today give it all up in a ritual of surrender.

Friday, December 20, 2013

December 20th, 2013 - Friday - Victory


December 20th, 2013 - Friday - Victory - Every day is a bump from the universe, God, the Lord, the Lady, whatever you want to call the divine is right here.  The degree to which you surrender and move in the direction of the bump is the degree to which you succeed.  Sure, some bumps are into obstacles, and that is what is going to happen today.  Warriors battle and achieve victory.  Sweeter because of the challenge.  Balance... Love... Breakthrough... And by tonight when you bed down don't forget to celebrate this little victory... toast the divine and feel the gratitude... optimism and new possibilities abound.  Let the bump hit you into the challenge, and bring your A game in the energy department.

December 19th, 2013 - Thursday - Ace of Cups


December 19th, 2013 - Thursday - Ace of Cups - A new, emotional union with something or someone is in the space of your field today... but true fulfillment of the river's journey is a voyage of self and self alone.  In the end love dissolves us.  The pursuit of love to obtain something or someone is to leave the river and walk the desert of the obscene.

December 18th, 2013 - Wednesday - The Tower


December 18th, 2013 - Wednesday - The Tower - Out with the old, in with something new, reborn, out of the ashes, burn it all down to the ground, and see what is left.  Towers tumble, fall, wreckage ensues.  War is declared.  Battles come down.  The phoenix rises from the ashes.  Your life is a series of constructs.  Earthquakes of the soul bring them down and reveal the truth underneath all the activity. Let.... it... happen.... don't resist...

Tuesday, December 17, 2013

December 17th, 2013 - Tuesday - Power


December 17th, 2013 - Tuesday - Power - This card is telling us that today we might be a bit full of ourselves... that our ego might be getting out of control.   You might think you know all the facts, that you know what is what, and that you are going to impose your will on someone... But the card is telling you today that this isn't correct.  You are in reaction and using your power to get what you want without considering what others are really feeling.    You feel so strong in your position, so deep down core this is the way it is... but not today.  You are wrong.  Your reaction is causing more harm than good.   Slow down with this juggernaut of powerful reaction.

December 13th, 2013 - Friday - Ace of Cups


December 13th, 2013 - Friday - Ace of Cups - Sorrow followed by love, because your heart was cracked open yesterday.

December 12th, 2013 - Thursday - Sorrow


December 12th, 2013 - Thursday - Sorrow - Yesterday was a great day, but it was weird, because it was so filled with grief and sorrow.  Nothing wrong with that, but damn it was piercing.  I kept opening to it and it would hit me this way or that.  I  kept wondering if it was something in particular, but by the end of the day it was just more about opening to pain, grief, loss, and suffering in general than any specific horror.

December 11th, 2013 - Wednesday - The Priestess


December 11th, 2013 - Wednesday - The Priestess - The simple magic and flow of the divine feminine courses through you today... stop and pause and listen... open, breath... and keep listening.  She's whispering to your soul a secret message.

Tuesday, December 10, 2013

December 10th, 2013 - Tuesday - The Emperor


December 10th, 2013 - Tuesday - The Emperor - The masculine rises to the challenge inside you.  Holiday times might seem to be the domain of the feminine flow and open love, with family hearth and home, but the masculine structure is needed to evoke the proper emotions.  Be a good God-King-Emperor today.  Evoke from the deepest archetypal roots your own deity of KING.  

Monday, December 9, 2013

December 9th, 2013 - Monday - Ace of Cups



December 9th, 2013 - Monday - Ace of Cups - The magicians of old opened to the feminine magicks and allowed emotion to be an equal source of power driving to the ONE.  Handled incorrectly, new love is naive and dangerous, especially to your own expectations, but handled as a river of magic to tap for your focused creations and gifts... without the naiveté.  When your heart feels that lurch, it's great, it's a cool feeling, but we are going to avoid the old pattern of getting caught in the lurch, expecting it to last forever.  Consider this new love in a totally different light, like a cool, calm, spark of energy that you can then ride on till you decide to get off and travel elsewhere.  Just own it instead of be owned by it.  And yes, you do that by surrendering to it, but with awareness of what it is, you won't fantasize and expand it into an illusion.  Instead you'll see it for what it is, enjoy the ride, and smile as you move on.

December 8th, 2013 - Sunday - Peace


December 8th, 2013 - Sunday - Peace - Peace is peace... but this is such a dualistic mental negotiated peace that it hurts... it's not real... not from the heart.  I'm not trying to get mushy on you all, you know me well enough... but this isn't about being mushy, it's about realizing the peace was very mentally created, and those don't tend to last.  Statistics lie... remember?  But hey... sometimes peace is peace!  I'll take it...!  It just won't last.

December 7th, 2013 - Saturday - Completion


December 7th, 2013 - Saturday - Completion - Thy lady love dances with the Lord of Red Hosts.  Come love, come war, come life, come death.  Is there no peace between the faces of red and green?  I hope, as I sit atop the world, conqueror of myself, that the last grey threads remaining can be plucked from the tapestry and the color can be complete.  Pluck, pull, rip, then resew.  Who do you need? A friend, a lover, an enemy, a hellcat who you don't trust, still... they hold the key.  Ask for help today as you whiplash back and forth between the poles.  You are SO close to it... can you taste the sweet delicious extreme?  It's right there... oh but you are going to to have to ask the planets for help.  Ritual!  Go into it deeper and let the ram and the lover run free.

December 6th, 2013 - Friday - Queen of Wands


December 6th, 2013 - Friday - Queen of Wands - Our Lady of steam returns to grace us with her power.  And maybe her temper?  And maybe her indignation?  Did you unwittingly insult her?  Stand up to this power, and face it head on, declare your case without reaction and you have a chance, but don’t go starting any wars with this lady.  She doesn’t understand the word LOSE.  Or maybe it’s you who was insulted, and you are damn well ready to lay waste to some poor fool who crossed you.  That could be fun… but it will probably be sloppy and artless.  Can you turn your wrath into humor?  Not really a Leo’s style, so try turning it into a dance, a growling purr, perhaps a bountiful hunt.  Someone out there wants to be hunted… I’m sure of it!

December 5th, 2013 - Thursday - Truce


December 5th, 2013 - Thursday - Truce - Ugg... I can feel this damn card today... there is a lack of balance.  An UCK feeling in my stomach.  I'm feeling okay in my head, but it's at odds with my grace and openness.  I want to overthink things today, and I need to return to the one... return to the open, the grace and smile of acceptance and magic. Yes. Can you feel it? THAT is it. The open is open, it's there, but the mind is trying to close it.

December 4th, 2013 - Wednesday - Princes of Wands


December 4th, 2013 - Wednesday - Princes of Wands - Someone has gotten a little too excited... the enthusiasm has caused you to over commit on something. Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash.  You grabbed a big tiger there, and he's waking up and gonna do a dance on your head if you don't let go... don't ride THIS tiger without some help.

December 3rd, 2013 - Tuesday - The Emperor


December 3rd, 2013 - Tuesday - The Emperor - A titanic struggle ensues today between your intuitive magical feminine side vs the get 'er done authoritative deep no-self masculine side.  There is a challenge here to find your own place to stand, and really find that confidence you have in your intuition and your structure.  Our masculine sides are so USEFUL... but sometimes what the masculine structure desire is in conflict with a strange, alien, out-world feminine goddess.  If you have surrendered to your deepest truth, it CAN fully be expressed in the masculine... you just have to find the river that flows through YOUR riverbanks.  Consider the authority and power of the river when flowing in the right direction! Stand up for what you believe in.  Ah... a challenging navigation to be sure.  Kind of exciting though, I can feel that.  There is joy in this challenge.  You already know deep down you can do this.  That's sweet.

December 2nd, 2013 - Monday - Ruin


I posted this yesterday on Facebook, but somehow it didn't get onto this blog!  I apologize to all inquisitive readers who were wondering what the hell was going on yesterday with such strong Ruin energy flowing through their day.  Here it is: (Followed by Today (Tuesday's post).  

December 2nd, 2013 - Monday - Ruin - The ruin on the mind... the parade of swords keeps going. Death of the ego is an insane journey. And you can't kill it. You can cut it off you... but then you got to wear it if you are going to ever interact with others. This card's swirl today is violent. You know when you push yourself to either edge of your limits you are going to suffer pain. If you have a gangrenous finger you have to cut it off... but it's still going to hurt like hell. Slice and dice though, can be it's own satisfaction. There are moments of high bliss on the journey. Ruin brings down the walls and reveals some empty space that can be scary as hell until you dip into it. Like going into an ice cold bath. Past the first plunge you can surrender and sink into the darkness. It's quite nice. Stay in your body today. Move. Move. Move. Think less. Write and draw and create from your guts. Take a knife, open your veins, and let all your genius spill out. Give your gift till you are dry and shriveled. You will survive. There is hope. Further. Further. Further.

December 1st, 2013 - Sunday - Death


December 1st, 2013 - Sunday - Death - Let's start the month off with a little ego death...so appropriate when you think of all the swords we've been dealing with, which is all about the ego mind.

November 30th, 2013 - Saturday - Prince of Swords


November 30th, 2013 - Saturday - Prince of Swords - The reign of the mind continues... swords swords swords... ug... get out and get moving again, because if you don't this mind thing you got going on is going to cause you to become cruel and bastardly.

November 29th, 2013 - Friday - Interference


November 29th, 2013 - Friday - Interference - The devil is in the details... and I mean the DEVIL. This energy is in our mind, and it's focused on taking step by step toward a magnificent abundant goal... but those details today... they aren't what you need.  Everything says do it this way, step by step.  But no... not today.  Today those details will sap your energy.  It's a distraction from opening and receiving.  Once again, move... once again, stop the mind, and if you have to use your mind today, do so as a sword cutting away cobwebs and illuminating the bullshit.  See clearly.  That's the only reason to use your mind today, not to accomplish details.  If you stick with the details this evening will be energetically empty.  You'll be tired and wasted.

November 28th, 2013 - Thursday - Defeat


November 28th, 2013 - Thursday - Defeat - Thanksgiving had a day of defeat about it... basically mental gymnastics and self doubt and defeat.  A lot happens on Thanksgiving and if you over think it, you can get in trouble. Not to mention other people can become pretty critical.  Put up your shields.

November 27th, 2013 - Wednesday - Virtue


November 27th, 2013 - Wednesday - Virtue - The sun shines on the God of war and you are warned to careful again with your power... we had that theme this week.  There must be a roving band of powerful people out there reading these posts this week, and they all need to keep their integrity (me included).  It's beautiful to have power... but it's more artful if we use it with integrity!

November 26th, 2013 - Tuesday - Happiness


November 26th, 2013 - Tuesday - Happiness - The cups of Jupiter and Pisces runneth over... and yet you haven't fully taken responsibility for your own happiness yet... Are we forcing things a little? Using happiness to cover pain... flow is flow, let it go.  I am in agonizing pain... and it's flow out and through down and deep and over and in.  Can you pop the seal on your heart and open and feel the agony... and say yes.... and just open open open into it with some kind of gritty weird lusty acceptance of it?  Then when it's all gone and you feel empty inside you ask where is the happiness?  Pop the lid again and let the next chaos flow through you.  The sit in a throne deep inside and watch.  I bet you'll be happy to observe the wish and the wash of our Goddess's dance.

November 25th, 2013 - Monday - Queen of Wands


November 25th, 2013 - Monday - Queen of Wands - Leo says hello, my lady of steam!  She is so powerful, she is so righteous, and of course she's telling us to be careful of all that power.  This is a flavor that CAN admit she's wrong... but you got to be careful.  If you are overriding someone today, take a step back.  You are probably right... you have righteousness on your side and you have the power to manifest anything, but something isn't right in the space in how the power is being used.  Subtly and grace are talents not ever Leo has, and why not cultivate some of that today?  Hey, having power is delicious in the right way, make it an art instead of a sledgehammer.  And if you are the recipient of that sledgehammer today... stand up to it gracefully.  You will be surprised at how you are received by this lady of steam.  She DOES respond to strength and grace... especially when combined together.

November 24th, 2013 - Sunday - The Chariot


November 24th, 2013 - Sunday - The Chariot - Ahh... day of family commitments... time to come together and make things work. This is a day to come to agreements, fulfill ones, or make new ones.

November 23rd, 2013 - Saturday - Victory


November 23rd, 2013 - Saturday - Victory - You have passed through challenges, and one little victory after one little victory is yours.  Celebrate today.

Friday, November 22, 2013

November 22nd, 2013 - Friday - Indolence


November 22nd, 2013 - Friday - Indolence - This card is probably not for you as much as it is someone else you know.  Someone you know is stuck, very stuck. They need to move, move move, body, mind spirit.  Without movement they will stagnate and get sick.  Help your loved ones to MOVE today.

November 21st, 2013 Thursday - The Aeon


November 21st, 2013  Thursday - The Aeon - Growing up, being a human adult.  Seeing, and doing according to the truth of the seeing.  Do some Yoga today.  Be flexible in body, mind, emotions, and spirit.

November 20th, 2013 - Wednesday - Swiftness


November 20th, 2013 - Wednesday - Swiftness - A positive swirl of phone calls, communication, creation, and magic today.   Mercury is on your side; so is Sagittarius.  Learning new systems and implementing new ideas within groups will be highly successful today.  Today is a good day to buy!

November 19th, 2013 - Tuesday - Queen of Cups


November 19th, 2013 - Tuesday - Queen of Cups - The angels are trying to tell you something... it can be so frustrated when you don't seem capable of hearing it!

November 18th, 2013 - Monday - Knight of Swords


November 18th, 2013 - Monday - Knight of Swords - Monday starts with the Knight of Swords in the Thoth Tarot deck, a Gemini card.  There are two sides to this card, representing light and shadow.  This card suggests you move forward, with enthusiasm and gregariousness, but that you do it fully aware of your shadow parts.  It's time to move, communicate, drive forward... but be aware of your own weaknesses and don't be afraid to ask for help.  Charge... but in awareness. You ARE moving in the right direction, but this card just reminds you that others out there see you a bit differently than you see yourself, and hence can clue you into your shadow parts.  Not saying dwell on the shadow, instead saying just be aware... 

November 17th, 2013 - Sunday - Lust


November 17th, 2013 - Sunday - Lust - Well sometimes the energy just builds up and gets too big and you have to find ways to let it out.

November 16th, 2013 - Saturday - The Lovers


November 16th, 2013 - Saturday - The Lovers - Gemini and Duality hit us strongly today on this snowy Saturday (at least here in Utah!).  Yesterday we worked through the Hierophant, which is the preceding card to the Lovers in the trumps. Having moved through societal norms and found our own truth separate from the masculine controlled world we live in, we now enter into the duality of love, light, darkness, and it is a feast. Sure... this can be a bit of an infatuation... I feel that for me at least today.  Today it is time to sit down and have a conversation about love!  Find out what is really going on, and yes, you might be afraid of the answers but at the same time, don't you really want to know? There might be a lie in the space, and it's time to figure out what it is.  WHAT IS GOING ON?  At the same time, hell, you've just broken through to a new level, so enjoy, but do it carefully.  Got some Temple Cleaning to do! Do it!

November 15th, 2013 - Friday - Hierophant


November 15th, 2013 - Friday - Hierophant - Interesting card to end the week on... spiritual father and earth energy Taurus.  This is the culture of our current spirituality in this world.  And we are definitely in conflict with our normal cultural norms.  The All Father would not be pleased.  What are you going to do? Are you rebelling against religion? Fine says I. But are you rebelling against your own inner voice? Not so wise... The problem is our culture has imprinted upon us so much junk, the ideas of what is right and wrong, that we are shadowed and caped and covered with it.  What is beneath all that?  Take away the spiritual trappings and what do you have left? What is right for you is the only thing that matters.  Sifting through our connections and attachments can be endless.  Is their a knife I can cut through this fog with?  Well damn there is!  It's called asking for help.  The morass is too think.  We can't see ourselves from our culture from our religion.  Ask and ye shall receive.  Make a ritual out of it, be sparky, and be humble, but be serious.  What is true for you?  Ask it.  Big bold and boisterous if necessary.  Ask what is true for you without all the junk of your life in the way.   Make a day of it.

November 14th, 2013 - Thursday - Knight of Disks


November 14th, 2013 - Thursday - Knight of Disks - Good Thursday morning!  Yesterday's Mars Leo battle is over and we are settling into a very Taurus like energy for the day and heading into the weekend.  Family is the main thrust of what is happening today, which is ironic because the house is currently empty and all my family is scattered doing their thing...

What this card is telling me today, is kind of what the Valour card said yesterday.  Move slowly, forward, take your time.  Be consistent.  Reasonable.  One day at a time.  You might think the risk you took earlier this week is going to pay off immediately, and it might, but it will require.  This is the good man card, the good work card, where you are working for the land and the deep steep depth of your tribe. 

That's the simple message to me: Get going.  Do it.  You can't expect it all to be given to you.  This card says get up and work.  Remember WHY you are doing things.  Today it's for your family and your future, and that requires you doing it. Hit the pavement.  Do the work.  You ARE heading in the right direction, no doubt, but you can't sit on your ass and expect it to happen by itself.  The Goddess so wants to help you... help yourself today. Steady.  Slow.  Nose to the grindstone.  Keep a smile on your grubby face as you get down into the dirt and WORK.

November 13th, 2013 - Wednesday - Valour


November 13th, 2013 - Wednesday - Valour - Mars vs. Leo - Well...well... well... I felt an awesome balance between emptiness and full embodiment this morning, and then got wrenched by a divisive judgmental wretch.  This card speaks to the war that is going on in the background of everything in your life, that undercurrent battle you are fighting even when you are smiling... 

I've been courageous.  But as they say... discretion is the better part of valor...



It is good to be brave, but it is also good to be careful.  And today in the titanic battle between Mars and Leo we need to consider if we ought not take a bit of a break.  Might it be time to withdraw?  Sometimes it's time to beat the retreat, and wait for another day.  

And who doesn't mind a message from the universe that you've done well, you are on track, you are one courageous son of a bitch, but today...  you should relax and take it easy and let it go...  I like that message.  You have dreams, you've taken new risks (I know I have!) and it's time to take a break.  Sure, this would be better on a Friday, I agree... but why not take a break today? Wednesday?

In the center of the war, find your balance between emptiness and duality... and relax into it with deep breath, WRITING (put it down and burn it up!) and then go do something.  Be the person doing... in between the spaces...

Personally I'm going to go see Thor, The Dark World!
