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 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!

November 12th, 2013 - Tuesday - Fortune


November 12th, 2013 - Tuesday - Fortune - Well having gone through the awesome revolution of last week we sit here Tuesday morning and wonder what's next.  It's time... that's what this card tells us.  It's time to move forward again.  Time to change.  Time to risk.  Time to start that new big thing.  Success is on your side.  You cleared away the junk, you did what the universe asked, you sunk into the joy of it all and relaxed and now it's time to really move forward into creative genius.  Whatever that may be for you today, the planet Jupiter is on your side and you should move forward with a giant YES in your heart.

November 11th, 2013 - Monday - Queen of Disks


November 11th, 2013 - Monday - Queen of Disks - There are a million different ways to look at and try to interpret the patterns of our universe, and who cares which ones you use, but I have to say sometimes the Tarot is so perfectly elegant that it just makes me smile.

Heading into your passion... you sink into your power, you face your mind as an enemy, you conquer it and get back into your body, and you sink into being the ruler of your universe and then you enjoy it and play with it.  

Magical. Amazing.  Simple.  Elegant.

November 10th, 2013 - Sunday - The Tower


November 10th, 2013 - Sunday - The Tower - So this is how I see this weekend, and know that pulling cards EARLY is always a bit iffy because currents and choices can change things, but it sounds like the Tower is going to be the hallmark of egoic removal on Sunday.  Friday we were feeling powerful moving into our big Saturday, but Saturday saw us way over thinking the whole thing, and we had to plow through turbulence of great magnitude and that left us with... a cleared landscape in the head.  The turbulence shook loose the bullshit and reveals now the magic of freedom again.  There are hooks and the Tower is all about letting go of hooks... well not always just letting go, but finding them, fighting them, hunting them down and killing them.  Killing the hooks.  Killing them surely and completely, with the Angel Mars on your side and the universe saying YES YES YES, let's free you from yourself.

Ah!  What a magic thing!

I'm looking forward to the reward Monday!  What will be the next card after we let go?  Remember our recent path: Passion led to power led to challenges in our mind as we questioned our power led to letting go of our hooks...  What will tomorrow bring?

November 9th, 2013 - Saturday - Prince of Swords


November 9th, 2013 - Saturday - Prince of Swords - So Saturday will bring us into the Prince of Swords.  We had some power yesterday, we bowed into it, we bowed out of it, and today the dance is going to try to move up into your head.   There may be a swirl of turbulent thought today.  If not you, and I don't think it's going to be you actually, but someone around you.  That's normal.  Stand and be strong in the middle of it.  Be grounded, because the ideas coming at you won't be.  See the bigger picture.  Offer the biggest picture possible.  And then stand up and use all the creativity and magic and love you have... to help them out of the endless maze of their minds. 

November 8th, Friday - Power


November 8th, Friday - Power - So, we are going to go forward a few days since we are going to be away from keyboard, AFK!!! as they say.  

So yesterday we come from LUST again, passion, and what does this tell us...  Sun and Capricorn.  Exploring your own power today, but being careful of over doing it.  Hell, that's what power always is.  Stepping up to the plate, but then you got your confidence and you are POWERFUL and yes.. you have to watch how you handle power.  I love that moment. You are powerful, you are confident, and now what will you do with it? I LOVE THAT MOMENT.

November 7th, 2013 - Thursday - Lust


November 7th, 2013 - Thursday - Lust - The realms of passion envelop the entire earth; life is like riding a seven headed beast and maintaining some semblance of control, knowing when to let it go and take charge, and knowing when to guide it as best you can.  Let's be honest, you can't tame the beast... but you can work with it and guide it toward opening and loving and service and artful nasty beautiful darkness.  How do you do that? I get the same answer over and over again.  Stillness followed by movement followed by stillness followed by movement...

From yesterday's tower, with ego stripped away, and the old fallen away, and surrender the resulting magic... what comes next?  Passion again.  Lust again.  It's still a sexual world, from clouds to flowers to animals to humans.  Everything is sexual and even with your ego shredded, even virtuous, even open to all that is the flow of fearlessly right action... if you are still alive, passion remains.  This card is calling us to remember that and not think of retreating to the cave or the mountain or the monastery.  We are passionate.  Get out there and love... guiding the beast, nudging the beast, but never trying to control it or tame it or squash it.  No squashing the beast!

November 6th, 2013 - Wednesday - The Tower


November 6th, 2013 - Wednesday - The Tower - Yesterday's Card was the Mars Card: The Tower - The sum of the changes you've gone through, and I've gone through, can be cataloged in the Tower.  A tearing down, a destruction of ego, and opening and a stripping of all that was egoic.  It was painful, hell it still is, but it's right and proper and is the path.  Embrace the Tower.  Open and understand and let the dead sluff off.  The universe will help you.

November 5th, 2013 - Tuesday - Virtue



November 5th, 2013 - Tuesday - Virtue - Short Version - You are on the right track with honesty and integrity.  Keep moving forward.

Long Version: When I pulled his card today it really shook me up.  Not sure why, but the depth of sensation that came saying yes... you ARE on the right path, this is the right thing, you are filled with integrity.  

The dictionary tells us virtue is morality, righteousness, goodness.  Another way of looking at virtue is the combination of five things:  gravity (weight, depth), generosity, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.  Of these gravity feels the most pertinent today.  Through the journey we've been on to come to this point of depth today, to accept that depth and then give back, feels like it cracked me open.

You know what this is really saying? It's say, yes, you were right, you were clear, you were open, you were honest... or in other words, yes, you were doing the indicated thing, you were in the flow of right action, and now... give FROM THAT POSITION.  

That is the part I think that gets me.  That chokes me up.  Giving from a position of right action, integrity, indication.  By being in alignment you are correct and have that much more energy to give the tasks and gifts at hand.

Today... find ways to be generous with your gifts.  It is what is suppose to happen.  This is correct.

November 4th, 2013 - Monday - Oppression


November 4th, 2013 - Monday - Oppression - Last week was one of the most amazing weeks of energy I've ever experience in the Tarot.  The path of the cards were so on that it created an opening in me that was amazing, building confidence and trust.  It ended Sunday with Strength!  But Sunday is not just the ending of the weekend, it's the start of the next one, and so Strength was the result and Strength will be needed.

In this open trusting day we get Oppression for Monday!  What a weird energy difference from last week, and yet... somehow utterly perfect. Let's dive into Oppression today!  

The first thing we want to look at are the Astrological Implications.  Saturn and Sagittarius.  Struggle and Mutable first suggests energy is suppressed.  First thing out of the gate this suggest to me that movement is in order.  Nothing like MOVING the body to get some energy out.  To get it unstuck.  Whatever way you feel right doing this, do it.  Obviously, it's Monday, you are at work, and that is not perfect for movement (well, us fools with desk jobs).  So movement will be the first thing to offer you.

Next... Oppression suggest that we've held ourselves back.  Is it always ourselves doing the holding?  Usually it is.  But it COULD be someone else holding us back.  I feel confident from last week so I'm pretty sure it's about me holding myself back.  And what happens when you hold yourself back?  Stuff the energy down and it twists and turns.  Feelings buried alive never die....

What does this suggest?  Revolution!  Yes, revolt against the oppressors!  You got the energy, and it's going to blow out somehow some way.  Remember the Lust card Saturday?  So MUCH power!  You need to let it go, but also guide it CAREFULLY.  Today, you have energy again, and it's built up and it's going to fucking explode if you don't watch it.  That's why you have to listen to your little bastard.  That voice inside the incites rebellion.  This isn't about being selfish. This is about the fact that you have been  oppressed, and you need to fix it and let out your goddamn genius or you are going to explode sideways.  It's time to foment and exercise rebellion!  Fight against the powers that be (your own egoic fear based parts that are holding you down) or other people who are holding you down.  

We need to discuss why you feel Oppressed.  Look... their are REASONS.  Someone probably screwed you over and they were really mean to you.  Some BAD things happened.  It's real. They are real. You have a good reason to be oppressed.  You didn't make it up.  But... SO WHAT?  Right?  Yes!  So what.  It's time to stop using the past as a leverage to stop you.   It's time to forgive yourself, others and move on.

This is such a rich zone of movement for me and the patters are saying it over and over again.  Yes... someone wronged you. (I know who wronged me!).  And damn... I need to forgive, forget, and move on.  Love openness... it's all there.  This is the perfect card today.  The absolute perfect card.

It's time to move on folks.  It's time to really move on.  And here's how we move on:  We MOVE.  Literally.  We move on through action.  I know that might not make sense, but I need you to sit with this and figure it out.  Sit and thing about where you are holding back, and then do this: Consider how you can MOVE in a way that shows you are putting it behind you.  You have the energy.  Someone put you down, and you are now holding yourself back.  You have a little bastard in your head, us her or him.  Forgive the person, and then demonstrably MOVE on.  This card is perfect.  This card is magical.  This card is giving you permission to revolt.  More than permission, it's encouraging it! 

Viva La Revolution!

November 3rd, 2013 - Sunday - Strength



November 3rd, 2013 - Sunday - Strength - Pure, unrefined strength is yours to use today.

November 2nd, 2013 - Saturday - Lust


November 2nd, 2013 - Saturday - Lust - Passions for life directed in the right direction.  YES.  Passion of lust directing in the wrong direction... SMILE!  Be careful, take the 7 headed beast and guide it powerfully where it's intended to go.  Nothing wrong with sexuality at all... EVERYTHING is sexual... it's the realm of Duality.  Today give in to it, but watch it at the same time.  Ease back and forth through surrender and gentle guidance on the reins.

November 1st, 2013 - Friday - Prudence


November 1st, 2013 - Friday - Prudence - The absolute perfect card for this week of discernment and flow. The flow is happening. Autumn is here, leaves fall, and winter is coming. It's natural, it's what is. It will be followed by spring, then summer. Babies are born, people die. The sun rises, the sun sets. The story is going forward, and your intuitions and discernment is correct... It will lay out as you feel it will, but it takes letting it happen. Rivers run. You don't need to bother with them. So meanwhile, get to work on your purpose. Get to work on what you need to do and what you feel is right. That other thing? Oh... it WILL take care of itself. It is assured. Just don't worry about it, focus on your work and let it happen.
