November 2012 / By /
Self Care Cards by Cheryl Richardson

Happy Friday! The oracle card for today is Courage and the message on the back of this card is “take the leap! Your courage will see you through.”

You have it in you to fully merge with your lion-nature and tap into your courageous, brave self when it comes to making decisions, asserting your needs and stepping outside of your comfort zones.

You might be feeling particularly daring and brave today! The sword in the card represents cutting free your attachments to things that do not assist you on your journey. The mountains in the background show that you are an adventurer – not necessarily in the typical sense, but in a more spiritual sense.

Don’t be afraid to go leaps and bounds out of your comfort zone today – you have unseen support systems helping you all the way.

🙂 Question: how will YOU be courageous today?

Ten of Swords ~ Tarot Reading for Thursday

Paulina Tarot by Paulina Cassidy

Today’s Tarot card is the Ten of Swords from the Paulina Tarot. You might be tempted to over-dramatize things today and beware that minor issues may feel like big catastrophes – this is mainly due to the fact that yesterday’s Full Moon is still effecting us today.

Right now is a time of heightened energy….its like a culmination of energy, energy that has been building over the last month. You may have sensed a feeling of energy building inside of you and around you. This is also a good time to release old energies and patterns that no longer serve you.

Use the power of the Full Moon to shine a light on that which holds you down – write it down on paper if you need to. While you can do this kind of releasing anytime, now is a particularly significant and powerful time to do this work. By the time December comes, you will be feeling fresh and free of any burdens.

Ace of Cups ~ Tarot Card for Wednesday

The Ace of Cups is the Tarot card that I drew today and it represents and overflowing of pure heart energy. With the Full Moon tonight, our energies are rising and reaching the point of overflow – just relax and let these energies pour out.

You have so much to offer and so much to give and as you come to this realization, and the understanding that you have endless help and support, it feels like your heart cannot contain it all! Find a way to ground yourself – either through meditation, journalling, breathwork or physical exercise.This will assist you in using this abundant energy, rather than getting overwhelmed by it.

The true message of the Ace of Cups today is that all it takes is a slight shift in your perception to bring about the ability to see the world through love tinted glasses. Today is a new beginning for you as you learn to connect more deeply to what is inside your heart and express it in ways that truly transform the world around you!

Today’s oracle card is Connection and its message is all about love and living in the heart. The message on the back of this card says “Connect with someone special. A loved one is a gift to treasure.”

When you move from your head down into your heart, the way you understand life shifts dramatically. While the mind’s reality is one of separation, fear, survival, limits and ego, your heart’s reality is all about expansiveness, connection, love and understanding.

If you are having any kind of inner or outer conflict today, move your energy into your heart and notice how your perspective changes.


There are many ways to enter the heart, but these two are my favorites:

1) Imagine a small light in the center of your heart. Breath into your heart and feel that light glow bigger and brighter with each breath, until it is radiating out into the world.

2) Ask yourself what you want to share with the world – what gift you want to give and what part of yourself you are longing to express. (If you are feeling brave, share this with me in the comments section below!)

Osho Zen Tarot Card for Monday!

Osho Zen Tarot 

Before I get into today’s reading, I have a favor to ask you!….I am currently creating a Tarot e-book/workshop and I want to get a better idea of what Tarot topics are of interest to my readers. The major question I have is: what are the biggest challenges you face when reading Tarot for others? Just let me know in the comments section – I can’t wait to hear your reply! Thank you in advance 🙂

The Osho Zen Tarot message for today is that its time to slow down and savor life at a snails (or turtles) pace. This will allow you to go deeper and notice things that normally pass you by.

If you have been going along at a hectic pace, try to consciously slow things down this week – whether that means trimming your schedule or trading in TV time for yoga – do what works for you. If you feel like life is going too slow for your liking, take advantage of this time by going within and re-evaluating the direction you are headed in.

In the areas of career and life purpose, take slow, deliberate steps toward your goals. There is no need to rush or panic – take your time. If you are worried about procrastinating, do one small thing each day that brings you closer to your goal. And most importantly, stay present!

Queen of Cups ~ Tarot Card Reading for Friday!

Crystal Visions Tarot by Jennifer Galasso

The Queen of Cups Tarot card appears for you today because today is the day for manifesting! Don’t hesitate to spend time daydreaming this afternoon about what you want to create in your life, because you have the focus and ingenuity to really pull it off right now.

Connect deeply with your ability to draw to you that which you desire by remembering all the times in your life that you did just that. What are some of the amazing things in your life that you made happen? How did you do it?

The other message that I get with the Queen of Cups is that now is the time for you to get in touch with your feelings and emotions, particularly as they relate to your close relationships. You might feel called to be an emotional support system for a close friend right now or you may be getting strong intuitive feelings about someone close to you. Trust your feelings and have confidence in yourself.

Possibilities ~ Osho Zen Tarot Card for Thursday!

Possibilities abound when you get a bird’s eye view of your life! Today’s Tarot card is the Two of Wands (or 2 of Fire in the Osho Zen Tarot), and it represents taking a moment to assess your life and where you are going.

If you are able to step back and see the big picture and all the themes of your life, you will have an easier time knowing which direction to take from here. But if you are still stuck in the drama of everyday life, knowing what to do and where to go can be a struggle.

Once you are able to “rise above” any situation, withdrawing your emotional ties, you will be able to see the pros and cons without bias. The Two of Wands Tarot card suggest that you look at your life with this big picture perspective so you have a good idea of where you are going and where you would like to invest your energy next!

Cut Your Cords! ~ Oracle Card for Wednesday

Angel Therapy Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue

Today’s Oracle card is all about cutting your cords ~ it’s message is “Ask Archangel Michael to clear any old attachments to fear that stem from past relationships, freeing you from destructive patterns.”

Is there someone from your past who you are still energetically attached to? This could be anyone that you still have strong feelings for – both negative and positive. Or even someone you think about often, even though you haven’t been in contact for years. Do you feel that this is holding you back in any way?

The message of this Oracle card is that it is time to sever those energetic ties as this will free you up in ways you have never imagined. Think of it as releasing that person from your energy field and freeing yourself in the process. This is perhaps the most compassionate thing you can do for yourself.

There are numerous ways to do this, but the most simple is visualizing a cord that is plugged into your body (usually the solar plexus area) connecting you to this person. Imagine yourself unplugging this cord from your body and seeing the other person drift away, getting further and further away. Wish them well and celebrate your newfound lightness.
