Veronica is my evil twin sister who spends her days flirting with 20-year-old boys, suntanning topless on public beaches and saying NO to charities….she needs that money for martinis! Let’s see what evil advice she has for us today…
Osho Zen Tarot
Today’s Tarot card is Participation(aka Four of Wands).
When I was in elementary school, my teachers were always blathering on and on about “participation.” As in “Veronica, why aren’t you participating?”
Well, for starters I don’t participate in things that are stupid (like dodgeball) and I certainly don’t participate in things just because generic rule followers request it of me.
So take a look at your life today and notice what kinds of things you’re participating in. Do you enjoy it? Does it bring you satisfaction? Or are you doing it to appease someone?
For example, do you participate in donating to the charity of the week when you’re going through the checkout at Costco? Is it because you want to? Or is it because you’re worried that if you don’t, all those hot dog munchers behind you will think you’re a heartless bitch?
Participation is wonderful when it brings people together and diabolical when it forces you to just go through the motions for fear of being ostracized !
Friday’s are special days because my diabolical twin sister Veronica takes a breather from all the martinis, boy toys and naps to deliver you a Tarot reading so juicy, so daring….that you simply MUST take her advice!

There’s no beating around the bush here, so I’m just going to come right out and say it.
Stop checking your phone every five seconds and replying to emails the second they land in your inbox. Stop updating your Facebook on a daily (or *gasp* hourly basis).
Turn of your smartphone for hours at a time. Who cares if people are trying to reach you? You have better shit to do.
Take some time to turn inwards and pay attention to YOU! Your inner self has something to say.
You’re waaaaaaay too available to others right now. It’s soul sucking, exhausting and quite frankly, it’s just plain weird.
It’s okay to ignore your phone, email and social media for a few hours or a weekend. You have a life! Now tear yourself away from that boring screen and go live it!

Osho Zen Tarot
Your Inner Buddha wants you to just chill the fuck out already. Seriously.
Your personality/ego self is all like “aah! What must people think of me? I don’t make enough money! I look like a bloated whale in these pants! How am I going to get everything done today?”
Meanwhile, your Inner Buddha reclines on a chaise lounge with a joint in one hand, not giving a shit about any of it.
It’s time to meet this mysteriously calm little person inside of you….
When you think “what will the bitches in my office think of my new shoes?”, your Inner Buddha thinks “where can I find some velcro moccasins?”
When you obsess about whether or not your partner really loves you, your Inner Buddha couldn’t care less. It’s completely fucking irrelevant.
It’s not that your Inner Buddha doesn’t care about anything, it’s just that it doesn’t care about stupid pointless shit. And for many of us, worrying and thinking about stupid pointless shit can consume a pretty big part of our day.
So this weekend, don’t try to stop worrying or thinking about stupid pointless shit. That never works. Just ask yourself “what would my Inner Buddha do?”
Since I love, love, love making lists and coming up with my top 5 movies, top 5 books, etc, I thought it would be fun to list my top 5 Tarot decks. Keep in mind this is the top 5 Tarot decks amongst the Tarot decks I own and not all Tarot decks in existence! So of course, my top 5 Tarot decks list is a little biased. But if I could only keep five of my Tarot decks (god forbid!) these are the ones I’d grab:

I just can’t get enough of this magical, girly, touchy-feely Tarot deck! I love everything about it – except the white borders, which I hacked off with a paper cutter. At first glance you may think oh, this is another once of those wimpy, fluffy, bullshit decks…but no! It’s not. It’s totally awesome in so many ways.
I go on and on about how great the Crystal Visions Tarot deck is right here, so I will keep it short here. This deck never disappoints me. I always feel comforted and supported when I do a reading with these cards – its kind of like talking with a really wise friend who knows me well, is totally honest, but never a bitch.
The colours are delicious, the energy is divine – and I have never had an “off” reading with this deck yet! This is my go-to deck when I am all in a flap about something.
To see the various readings I have done with this deck, click here.
The Osho Zen Tarot is one bad-ass deck! I love it because it puts a whole new spin on the traditional Tarot cards. Its new-agey and “spiritual” – but not in a cheesy way. I feel like these cards were really designed for contemplation, not fortune telling.
Most importantly, these cards feel sublime when you shuffle them, which is a trait few Tarot decks possess, quite sadly. I love the way these cards pull me back into the present moment, into my center, so I am not spazzing out over life.
Reading with the Osho Zen deck is like sitting down with a really good therapist…..almost! Hop over here to read my full review on this deck.
The Druidcraft Tarot is a delightfully witchy deck with a distinct pagan feel. For some reason this deck reminds me of Fall, my favorite time of year, when its crispy and smoky outside and almost Halloween.
The cards are kind of big, which makes shuffling a pain in the ass, but the beauty of the cards makes up for this. I don’t really use this deck much, but I bring it out on special occasions and to give myself important readings.
This is a very earthy deck and the people in it are kind of fugly, which huge feet and beer guts and stuff like that. Overall, the cards have such an old, wise feel to them, making this an extra-special deck.
Go here to see how I interpreted some of the cards from this deck 🙂
I really like this deck. I can’t put my finger on what it is exactly that I like so much, but these cards just have a nice feel to them – a good energy. Plus, the cards themselves are slightly shorter than most of my decks, which makes shuffling really easy. Bonus!
This deck does something odd – it seems to personally attune to each person I am reading for and when I read for myself it has been spookily accurate! I am still getting to know this deck, but I can easily say that it one of my faves.
You can see all the readings I have done with this deck right here.
This deck is a total classic and a must-have for any serious Tarot deck hoarder! Despite the fact that this is a more recent addition to my collection, it feels like I have been reading with these cards for decades.
The Morgan-Greer Tarot is a product of the 70’s (first published in 1979) which is apparent in the appearance of the “pornstache” on many of the men. Fun stuff!
The best thing about this Tarot deck is that THERE ARE NO BORDERS on the cards! I can’t stand annoying borders – I love it when the image comes right to the edge of the card.
*So now I want to know….what are YOUR favorite Tarot decks? What is your go-to deck that never fails you? Tell me in the comment section below!
Transformation from the Osho Zen Tarot (aka Death) has arrived to help you usher in all the new, exciting changes that are happening within you. Have you felt lately as though you were almost changing overnight?
The sleeping face on this card indicates that much transformation occurs during your sleep. You probably don’t realize just how much learning and growth you experience through your dreams.
In a way, sleep is like death – it gives us a chance to release the old and start fresh again the next day. You can use your sleep to re-program your life.
For example, spend a few moments before bed focusing on all the positive things that happened that day and dreaming about what you want to bring into your life and how you want to feel. When you awaken, spend a moment lying in bed, just feeling the life force within you radiate with positive energy. This is one of the most wonderful ways to start your day!
Today’s Tarot card is the Two of Air from the Osho Zen Tarot (aka Two of Swords). This Tarot card seems to be screaming “make a decision already!”
Your head is above the clouds, so you have it in you to make a clear decision, even if you don’t believe it. Now is the time to decide, not a week from now or a month from now. The time is now.
Your life will get easier once you choose a distinct path, and you will have extra energy at the end of the day. Things seem all big and serious right now, but when you look back on this time you will think what was I so conflicted about?
Friday’s tarot card, The Creator, is from the Osho Zen Tarot. Creativity will come into your life in full force today, so look out! That creative spark within you wants a chance to come out and shine.
This will feel wonderful if you are ready to express your creativity and take action in creating what you envision. But if you are fearful in any way, it can feel frustrating!
To help process this ever-increasing energy within you, ask yourself these questions:
1) If there were no limits, what would you want to create?
2) What can you create today or this week that would satisfy your creativity?
3) What do you need to do or to let go of in order to feel comfortable expressing yourself fully?
The Creator is one of the most confident, powerful cards in the Osho Zen Tarot. He reminds you that you have his power and confidence available to you if you choose to use it!
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!

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!
Today’s Tarot card is Seven of Fire, from the Osho Zen Tarot. Don’t let the little things overwhelm you today and don’t let anyone put undue pressure on yo!
You’ve got lots on the go right now – activities, duties, ideas, plans, friends – but if you get clear on your mission and prioritize accordingly, things will fall into place and you can breathe a sigh of relief.
The main message of this Tarot card is that YOU are in control, not anybody else. It may not always feel like it, but you are the one who decides how you spend your time, where you put your energy and how you live your life.
If you try to be all things to all people today, you will lose out. But if you get calm, quiet and journey inward to uncover what you would like to share with the world today, the stress will melt away. You have something special to bring to the table today, and getting calm and focused will ensure that you can do this with ease!
Do you want to bring more abundance and prosperity to your life right now? Join me on November 28 (the full moon!) for a very special reading on this topic…
