The oracle card for Friday is all about Love and Compassion. When you notice how you are surrounded by love, its easier to feel love, and then its easier to emanate love. So begin by noticing love wherever you find it.
Be open to how you recognize love in your everyday life. Do you notice the excited chirping of birds in the trees? The effortless beauty of an apple tree in blossom? The way the sun warms your skin? All of these things are divine expressions of love!
Focus on connecting to your heart today. Breathe into the heart and feel your mind sinking down your body and resting in your heart area – if you can keep your awareness there for more than a few seconds you will be amazed at how your perspective shifts.
Prepare for things to speed up suddenly – either today or later this week. The Eight of Wands suggests that things will be unfolding very quickly toward a positive outcome.
Important communication in the form of letters, emails, phone calls or texts will be finding their way to you today. You may get some exciting news!
Thoughts, intentions and dreams will manifest quickly at this time, so be extra diligent about the vibes you are sending out into the universe. Make sure your thoughts reflect what you want to create and that your emotions are peaceful and loving (for the most part, as nobody’s perfect!)
Today’s Tarot card, the Page of Cups, is all about learning and being inspired. Let your intuition and creative yearning guide you toward learning something new today.
This card can represent engaging in artistic activities, learning about art or even learning about tapping into your intuition. But there is an excited, youthful energy with this card, reminding you that no matter how old you are, learning something new will bring you a sense of freshness and renewal.
This Page wears his heart on his sleeve (or his shoulder, in this card), suggesting that being expressive and open about your feelings will serve you well today.
Today’s oracle card Into the Woods says “stranger in a strange land, new experiences, feeling uncertain, transition zone.”
You may feel like you are a little lost today, or perhaps as if you are somewhere you don’t really belong. But this is just part of the transition you are going through right now. All part of the Transformation that was mentioned in yesterday’s reading.
If you find yourself proceeding with caution and hesitation, that’s okay. You don’t need to rush forward like a charging bull at this point. Tread lightly if you wish, but know that you are going in the right direction 🙂
The Deathcard comes to us to remind us that each day we are reborn and a part of us dies and is left behind. We are never the same person today as we were yesterday and tomorrow we will be different yet again.
If you ever find yourself lamenting “nothing ever changes!”, think again – death/change is constant, which can feel both exhausting and liberating.
Another way to think of Death is as a transformation, which is nicely represented by all the butterflies in this card. Each day we have the opportunity to transform ourselves, a situation or our beliefs….so what do you want to transform today?
For this reading I used my Magical Unicorns Oracle Cards ~ speaking of wimpy oracle decks, this one takes the cake! But that’s what I love about it 🙂
Enjoy!….

The other day I was perusing a Tarot forum and I came across a lot of negative comments regarding Angel Cards and Oracle decks that are totally positive and uplifting.
The problem that many of the forum commenters had was that all-positive decks do not accurately reflect the reality of life, which is a balance of light and dark.
To quote one commenter: “I’m not into the totally light and fluffy stuff. Life is both darkness and light–both are useful and both have their places. Denying one or the other is cutting oneself off from a whole realm of human existence.”
Another commenter was a bit harsher – unfortunately I couldn’t find the original quote, as the comment thread for this topic was huge – but he thought that Angel Cards appeal to people who don’t want to think and that these types of decks were dumbing people down.
While I LOVE gentle and uplifting decks with Angels and Fairies and cheery phrases, I thought these commenters had an interesting point.
Personally, I have quite a range of Tarot decks in my collection, although I have noticed I tend to gravitate toward the more uplifting decks, like the Crystal Visions Tarot.
Since I read with both “edgy” Tarot cards and Angel Oracle cards, I can honestly say that I don’t really find one to be superior to the other when it comes to getting insight and guidance. But I prefer the happy, sunshiny decks.
I do think that reading Oracle cards that have a full message written right on the card is way easier than reading Tarot cards that may just have a number and picture. But you know what? Who cares? There is enough things in life that are hard, doing readings doesn’t have to be struggle.
Healing with the Fairies Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue
I think people are attracted to all-positive decks like Fairy Oracle cards and Angel Tarot because there is enough disturbing shit in the world and people don’t necessarily want to feel disturbed when they turn over The Devil or Ten of Swords. And that’s okay!
Studying Tarot is wonderful if you want a challenge and there is real value in understanding the “scary” Tarot cards, simply because once you shine a light on them they are no longer scary (a topic for another blog post!). But if simply getting higher guidance and comfort is what you want, Angel cards do the job amazingly well.
Tarot and Oracle cards are simply cards with pictures and words on them. They are designed to trigger our intuition, imagination and creativity. Go with the method that works best for you.
What do YOU think? Do you prefer Tarot cards or gentle Oracle decks? Or both? And do you worry that the all-positive decks are turning people into morons? Are Fairy and Angel decks too fluffy or do they have their place?

Healing with the Fairies Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue
Feeling Safe is the theme of today’s Oracle card, from the Healing with the Fairies Oracle Cards. There is a difference between being safe and feeling safe. You can be safe, but still feel vulnerable.
Today’s card is here to say you are safe and now its time to focus on feeling at ease in your life. If you don’t actually feel unsafe, do you feel stressed in any way? Again, its possible to feel stressed out when nothing is actually wrong.
If you have spend many days on high alert – either at work, dealing with work-stress or at home – its now time to scale it down a bit. You don’t need to feel so keyed up anymore. You can relax now. Do some yoga, meditate and create an affirmation for yourself that immediately puts you in a state of ease.
Today’s Tarot card is The Moon. This is one of the most mysterious cards in the Tarot…and I love that! Similar to Tuesday’s reading, this card is all about that which is hidden.
Perhaps you feel as though you need to know the whole story or you need a clearer view of where you are headed. But know that the path ahead will be revealed to you at the right time and not all at once.
Trust your instincts when it comes to decision making today, as your instincts will not guide you in the wrong direction. There are two dogs in this card – a wolf, representing your wild, animal self (your true desires) and a domesticated dog wearing a collar (the part of you that goes along with social convention). Notice that both dogs howl at The Moon!
Today’s Tarot card, the Four of Pentacles, suggests you are grasping your money tightly. Its tax time, so this makes sense! You may be feeling the pinch…but this card suggests lightening up a little 🙂
The pixie in this Four of Pentacles card is above a pile of golden coins suggesting she is much richer than she feels. This is an important thing to remember: poverty (and abundance) is a state of mind.
If you are feeling broke or anxious about money, try to shift your energy from poverty to abundance. You can do this by trying something out of the ordinary…..
If you normally spend sensibly, buy yourself something luxurious and extravagant (like fancy soap or that overpriced coconut milk ice cream at the health food store). If you are a little out of control with spending money, see if you can start saving a little change each and every day.
This will help you feel more abundant, which will in turn help you attract more abundance into your life.
