In the Cards

I believe it’s possible to predict the future. Pure prediction. Not based on anything but… it. I’ve done it. I’ve had it done for me. Am I always right? No. Am I mostly right? How do we measure this? Maybe if I gather all my longtime clients together and we take a poll. I think…

Is there a decision you are delaying? A decision you are leaning on? Which way will you go? We have the Two of Bows (Wands) here, from the WildWood Tarot. He’s grasping Decision no. 1 in his right hand. Decision no. 2 in his left. He’s in the middle. What will he (you) choose? This…

I kept picking the same cards, the same cards I’ve been seeing lately. Page of Swords? AGAIN? I don’t wanna! But then came the revelation which I described in a YouTube video the other day. Detach in the sense of rising above it. Cutting through intense emotions. Letting go. I hadn’t even been posting on…

Many of you seem to be reporting similar experiences, post-Eclipse: exhaustion, irritation, difficulty sleeping. The transits are not too too bad these two weeks between the Eclipses and yet it’s this… feels like this difficult caustic troubling bubble. Harder to hear the birds. I heard one just now: caw caw caw. Reminded me of home.…

Tarot for the pause. Tarot for the two weeks between Eclipses. Tarot for the Crescent Phase, first quarter, Waxing Moon. Moon in Taurus. The Faery Stallion: The Chariot! She looks triumphant, doesn’t she? The Moon is Void of Course as I type this which means, among other things, it’s been a bit bizarre, chaotic, and…

Now here’s a card I haven’t seen lately and synchronicity alert! A gal in one of the chat rooms was talking about this card – the Six of Swords, a card I have always liked. A soothing Swords. We’re not piercing through like the Ace or undecided stalemate like the Two or in pain like…

I did not draw this card for this column. In fact I cannot remember why I drew it. Probably for someone today, in some context, maybe the class I’m running but I honestly cannot remember now. It’s a good card, the Lovers, the one we love to see, especially when asking love questions. I remember…

Court Cards are not always “them.” Court Cards are not always YOU. Court Cards are also situations. The environment. Events. I did a simple three-card spread for myself this afternoon, to check the energy around something. This is a spread my teacher used to do: Card on left: Person A Card on right: Person B…

The Ace of Wands is an idea. A spark. The Ace of Wands is a great card to see when you feel like giving up and have no clue where or what or how or why. The Ace of Wands assures us that fire exists. LIFE exists. We exist. We are permitted to hope. I…

So I keep seeing the Six of Wands. For myself, for others. I KEEP SEEING THE SIX OF WANDS. And I was telling a client today that ALL WANDS are about courage and confidence. The victory may not be a sure thing. The sure thing is that you should try. Be brave and TRY. And…
