The Hermit ~ Tarot Card for Monday

The Intuitive Tarot by Cilla Conway

The Hermit tarot card is all about taking comfort in solitude and shining the light of consciousness and inner wisdom on your life.

When you look at this card you see scary creatures lurking in the dark corners. This represents the idea that we fear what we do not understand. There are no frightening creatures in the light. When you notice your fears come up, shine the light of awareness on it. The more you know about and are aware of your fears, the less power they will hold over you.

Nearly every negative feeling we have can be traced back to fear. So when a negative feeling arises today, ask yourself what the original fear is. Get to know your fears – where did they originate from? How do they effect you in your day to day life? What would it be like if that fear disappeared? What kinds of things can you do to help dissipate this fear?

The Hermit tarot card encourages you to explore your inner life through meditation. Your meditation could take many forms, such as yoga, writing, walking, art, dance or gardening – whatever allows you to connect with that wise, ancient part of yourself.

Ocean ~ Daily Oracle Card for Sat & Sun

Today’s daily oracle card is “Ocean: Ebb and Flow” and it carries with it a message of constant change, cycles and fluctuations.

Like the tide, your life will have times of ebb, where things will seem to slow down and there may be a lack of abundance. And then times of flow, where abundance will come to you easily and naturally.

Times of flow can be exciting and exhausting, so rather than being afraid of the times of ebb, see it as an opportunity to rest and catch your breath. You will need to gather your energy to prepare for the coming period of flow and abundance.

The other meaning I get from this daily oracle card is that we can recharge our batteries by spending time by large bodies of water – oceans, lakes, rivers. I don’t think swimming pools really count. The energy that these bodies of water give off can positively change our moods, so make it a priority this weekend to got to the beach, swim in a lake or lounge by the river!

Oracle Card Reading for Friday ~ Independence

Self Care Cards by Cheryl Richardson

Today’s Oracle Card Reading reveals that it will be important for you to really exercise your independence. This can make you feel powerful and in charge of your own life, or anxious if you are too worried about hurting someone’s feelings.

The message on the back of this card says, “Decide for yourself. Exercise your right to choose.”

There may be many well meaning people in your life who are very generous with their advice and who think they know what’s best for you. Thank them for their help and then make the choice that feels right to you.

This could mean going in a totally different direction than you had previously planned or even breaking away from the group and striking out on your own. Always remember that your sense of freedom and empowerment depends on your ability to recognize your right to make choices in your own life.

This Oracle Card Reading encourages you to let go of any worries about how others might take your expression of independence. Imagine those around you being supportive of your choices and in turn, offer them your unconditional acceptance of the life choices that they make (even if you think they are making a terrible mistake!).

Princess of Cups ~ Tarot Card for Thursday

The Druidcraft Tarot by Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm and Will Worthington

Today’s Tarot Card, the Princess of Cups, encourages you to truly enjoy being alive. Take time to savor earthly delights such as walking barefoot across the grass, eating good food, the feel of the sunlight on your skin and the smell of Summer in the air.

Your ability to create a beautiful life for yourself and progress on a spiritual level is connected to how well you are able to enjoy this present moment.

In general, our society discourages us from spending long periods of time just luxuriating in the beauty of what is. Instead we are encouraged to rush about and to be at war with what is, exerting a ton of effort to change things. The best book I have read on this topic is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

So be a rebel today – allow yourself to accept everything as it is and enjoy the relaxation and peace that follows from this way of being. Today will be all about re-learning how to fully enter the present moment and to stop and smell the roses. Today, be like this Princess of Cups – calm, receptive and joyous.

Goddess Oracle Card for Wednesday ~ Butterfly Maiden

The Goddess Oracle Card for today is “Butterfly Maiden” whose message is one of transformation. This card says “You are experiencing enormous change right now, which brings great blessings.”

This Goddess Oracle card’s message is similar to yesterday’s Six of Swords reading. Change, transition and transformation can feel chaotic and unpleasant when you are right in the middle of it, or it can feel exciting and wonderful.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the changes that you are going through, make sure you nurture yourself and find ways to make this transition more pleasant. Journalling can be a very rewarding experience and a good way to sort through your feelings and create positive affirmations to heal your life.

Creative projects are another wonderful way for you to channel your pent up energy into something physical. But ultimately, you want to fully embrace and celebrate this exciting change you are going through. The Butterfly Maiden Goddess Oracle Card suggests that good things await you!

Six of Swords ~ Tarot Card Reading for Tuesday

six of swords tarot card meaning
The Intuitive Tarot by Cilla Conway

The Six of Swords tarot card is all about movement and transition. Today is all about moving on with things and making a transition to a new way of life or a new way of thinking and being.

This could be a physical transition, like travel or moving to a new location or new job, or it could symbolize a shifting of perception, finally letting go of the past and moving on with your journey through life.

You can be rest assured that this journey will be safe as you have many people, guides and angels looking out for you. If things have been challenging lately, they are about to get better.

As you make this transition, celebrate what you have learned from your past experiences that you are now leaving behind and look forward to the future and what you are going to be creating. But most importantly, the Six of Swords urges you to enjoy the journey and the present moment!

Earth Magic Oracle by Steven Farmer

Today is the perfect day to start things fresh. Don’t wait until New Years to make your resolutions – start today!  Make a promise to yourself and enjoy that exhilarating feeling that change is in the air.

If you were to make a promise to yourself today, what would it be? And how will you make sure you will keep that promise?

If possible, spend some time in nature this evening, reflecting on your life and what is important to you. It will be in these times of quiet solitude that some of your best ideas and inspirations will come to you.

Today’s daily oracle card suggests you savor this time of new beginnings and fresh starts!

 

I am excited to announce that starting on Aug 30th, I will be doing Full Moon Readings on every full moon! It will be a live event, via conference call. The first Full Moon Reading will be free and open to all who would like to join – click here to sign up!

Osho Zen Tarot Card for the Weekend!

Osho Zen Tarot

The Osho Zen Tarot card “Politics” reminds us to be ourselves this weekend and to enjoy being authentic and honest in all our dealings with others.

If you find yourself having to mask your true feelings and desires in order to fit in socially, you might notice that you feel drained, stressed or cut off from your true self.

Can you imagine what it would be like if you expressed your true feelings in public without worrying about how others see you? How would it feel to stop trying to convince others that you are a good/smart/interesting person?

This Osho Zen Tarot card has another meaning – when you embrace your “shadow self” you lose the need to hide part of yourself from others. What parts of yourself have you rejected and disowned? What aspect of yourself do you suppress and hide? The more you work towards embracing these disowned selves, the freer you are to experience your wonderful qualities. An interesting film and book on this subject that is worth checking out is The Shadow Effect.

Temperance ~ Tarot Card Reading for Friday

meaning of temperance tarot card
Cosmic Tarot by Norbert Losche

Today is all about balance! With the Temperance tarot card comes a reminder of how important balance is for overall happiness and enjoyment of life.

I know a lot of people groan at the mention of “temperance” or even “balance”, but it doesn’t have to be that boring! Leading a healthy, well balanced, temperate life can be enjoyable. The main message of the Temperance tarot card is to indulge but don’t over-indulge.

The other message I get with this card is how important it is to renew our energy and enthusiasm for things. This is done by getting plenty of rest, exercise and eating a balanced diet. And also by taking a break from certain things every now and then. If you find yourself losing interest in certain hobbies or activities that you once enjoyed, take a break. Do something else and eventually your interest and excitement will return.

The Temperance tarot card asks: What areas of your life are out of balance and what can you do today that would help bring them into balance?

Action ~ Daily Oracle Card for Thursday

Self Care Cards by Cheryl Richardson

Today’s daily oracle card is Action. The message on the back of this card is: “Take action. The journey to find your lost self begins with one step.”

If you look back at some of the biggest changes you made in your life, chances are they all started with one small step. Taking action does not have to mean making big changes or doing something that scares you, but following your inner calling.

Today is the perfect day to make one small step in a direction you would like to go in. Start by creating a list of things you would like to do, change or create. Narrow down your list by choosing the one thing that jumps out at you. Today’s daily oracle card asks: What can you do today that would bring you closer to your goal?
