Five of Pentacles ~ Start Telling a New Story!

5 of fossils
Animal Wisdom Tarot by Dawn Brunke

Feel like the weight of the world is crushing you? Or perhaps just the heavy load of all your responsibilities are bringing you down? Tell a different story!

If you find yourself lamenting to your friends about how hard things are, realize that this only creates more of what your complaining about. Especially if you actually feel worse afterwards.

Try re-writing your “script”. Here’s an example: The other day I said to a friend “nothing is working out the way I want it to and it is really disappointing.”

I felt much worse after saying that.

What I am going to say from now on is: “While things aren’t unfolding the way I had hoped, I know that everything is unfolding in the order and time it is meant to. I am excited to see where this leads.”

The second response is just as true as the first response, but it has a positive feel to it and makes me feel empowered instead of a helpless victim of life.

Do you have a negative “script” or story that you keep telling yourself and others? How can you re-write it so it feels good?

The Lovers ~ Tarot Card for Monday – Friday

the cosmic tarot the lovers
The Cosmic Tarot

The Lovers Tarot Card is all about unity, connection and balance.

What do you find yourself powerfully drawn to this week? It could be a person, place or thing. Often we are drawn to something that is lacking in ourselves in an attempt to balance things out.

Communication and connecting with others may seem easier than usual this week and don’t be surprised if you feel a surge of passion towards something you had thought long forgotten – like an old hobby, for example.

Although The Lovers Tarot card is all about opposites attracting, try to look for the commonality that you share with others, rather than your differences – this will help you get on the same page with friends, family and colleagues.

*Note: For the month of October I am going to be taking a breather from my daily readings. Instead, I will be posting a card of the week. This will give me time to write more articles, reviews, videos, etc…I will return with my daily readings in November 🙂

Let Yourself Go! ~ King of Cups (Thursday)

king of cups
Rider Waite Tarot

The King of Cups! He is such a funny little dude, looking all uptight and secretive. This King holds secrets, that’s for sure! Emotional secrets.

What feelings are you hiding from others (and maybe even yourself?) What area of your life do you not allow feeling to flow through?

Today will be an interesting day – you will have the choice to either ignore a feeling or engage with it.

Yes, you may seem unstable to those who are so used to you being the “rock” who keeps it together. But so what? Keeping your emotions all bottled up inside is no picnic either. Let it flow!

Two of Flames ~ Tarot Card for Monday

Sirian Starseed Tarot by Patricia Cori and Alyssa Bartha

Today’s Tarot card is the Two of Flames from the Sirian Starseed Tarot. The message is clear – it is time for you to contemplate your next big move!

Now is the time for you to gaze into the not-to-distant  future and envision the life you would like to have. Begin planning out the steps you can do now in order to steer yourself in the direction you want to go in.

The Two of Flames is all about soul searching, so take the time to rest, contemplate and dream. Once you are clear on what you truly want (and not what you think you should want or what other people in your life think you should want), then you are free to take inspired action!

Play Dirty to Win (Veronica’s Take on the Five of Wands)

fridays with veronicaVeronica Noir is the Daily Tarot Girl’s evil twin. She is a new age vamp who bellydances, reads Tarot and eats men for breakfast. Let’s see what diabolical advice she has for us today…

five of wands tarot card
Housewives Tarot

Feeling overwhelmed by all the unrealistic expectations you have placed upon yourself? I thought so.

The Five of Wands is about competition. Not with others, but with yourself. Are you competing against your “ideal” self? The one who has a perfectly clean house, well behaved children and absolutely no cellulite?

Well stop it before a free floating toaster knocks you upside the head and sends you into a tailspin! You don’t have to do it all. That’s just madness.

Stop competing with yourself and start competing with others – like your best friend, sister or those bitches in your book club.

And its okay to cheat.

Host a lavish party and have it catered, but lie and say you made everything yourself. Wear a corset under your clothes and tell everyone you’ve been doing lots of pilates. Send yourself an elaborate bouquet of flowers at work and act all giggly and blushy when you get it – your coworkers will be green with envy! Mwaaahaha!

Queen of Swords ~ Celebrate Your Intellect! (Thursday)

queen of swords
Fairytale Tarot by Karen Mahony

Today’s Tarot card is the Queen of Swords. You are sharp as a tack, so don’t be afraid to show it. Others may be intimidated (or even infuriated!) by your quick wit today, but don’t let that hold you back.

When making decisions today, try to distinguish the facts from your emotions. You don’t need to ignore your feelings/intuition, just don’t be overly sentimental.

You may be the voice of reason for someone today. If a friend is overly emotional, your level headed support will be a blessing. Your grounded approach to things will be appreciated. Let your inner Queen of Swords rule today!

An Empty Mind is a Happy Mind! (Thursday)

Robin Wood Tarot

An empty mind is a welcoming receptacle for genius and inspiration! That is the message of today’s Four of Swords.

If you find yourself struggling to think straight, get things done or come up with good ideas, its because the chitter chatter in your head won’t shut up.

Try meditating today and think of your meditation time as a vacation for your brain. Try going ten seconds without thinking a single thing. Then try twenty seconds, etc, etc, until you have worked up to a whole minute.

You don’t have to think harder to figure things out, you have the think less – or not at all.

Wheel of Fortune ~ You Are the Captain of Your Ship!

wheel of fortune tarot card
Tarot of the Dream Enchantress

You are the captain of your own ship! That is the main message of this Wheel of Fortune. Don’t fall prey to the belief that you have no control over your circumstances, because you do.

However, if you don’t realize that its you at the helm, life will feel chaotic, random and confusing. But its time for you to take the wheel and steer your ship into sunny harbors!

Today is a good day to be deliberate in everything you do. Where do you want to sail to? Write it down! Make a plan. Be conscious of every choice you make today – what you choose to think, eat and do. Who you choose to interact with and how you choose to feel. And begin to recognize yourself as the captain of your life.

Judgement – Busting Through Your Blocks Today!

cosmic tarot judgement
The Cosmic Tarot

Today’s card is Judgement. When you hear you true calling, you know its time to bust though your blocks like cardboard boxes!

Sure you have things standing in your way and holding you back – like fear, crummy beliefs, blah blah blah. But when you are called upon to do important work that aligns with your life purpose, those blocks don’t seem so insurmountable anymore.

Today you will make some headway toward overcoming a certain fear or taking a big step forward in the direction of your divine life purpose.

Ask yourself this: What will help you take that giant step forward? What do you need to do, know or understand?

The Devil shows you how to swap bad habits for good ones (Thursday)

the devil tarot card
Shadowscapes Tarot

The Devil is today’s Tarot card and he prances by to tempt you with your secret desires, the fulfillment of which will not bring you the freedom that you are truly craving.

The Devil represents those addictive behaviors that are comforting to you, but ultimately keep you stuck in a negative pattern. Like boredom snacking, binge eating, smoking, procrastinating, shopping or a million other so-good-their-terrible-for-you activities.

Become aware of what these kinds of habits do for you (on a positive level) and then get crafty in finding ways to get those things in a different, more healthier way.

For example, if you like snacking on candy because perhaps that is the only tasty spot in your day, try creating more tasty spots – like eyeing up sexy young joggers at the park while you eat a healthy lunch. Or opt to go for an after dinner gossip fest/walk with a friend instead of watching TV. What juicy new habits will you be bringing into your life this week?
