Happy Friday! Today’s tarot card is the Ace of Cups. Abundance, good feelings and joy will be in large supply for you today as you enjoy good times with friends and family.

You may be feeling extra social today and others will be drawn to your natural enthusiasm and upbeat attitude. Take stock of everything in your life that you enjoy and that brings you happiness, as this will put you in an even better mood.

Today is the perfect day to meet new people or join a social group of some kind. Since the Ace of Cups is a card of beginnings, as all Aces are, this suggests that you will have an easy time forming new friendships today and going into the weekend.

The other message I got with this card was that it is really important to foster emotional connections with others today. Be heart centered in your communications with those around you and don’t be afraid to show your emotions, particularly when expressing gratitude and appreciation for someone in your life.

Daily Oracle Card for Thursday ~ Forest (Breath)

Earth Magic Oracle Cards by Steven Farmer

Today’s daily oracle card invites you to explore the calming power of your breath and the grounding energy of the forest.

If you feel stressed today, remember to breathe. Connect to your breath by letting your attention focus solely on your breathing – even just for a minute. Draw your breath deep into your belly and on the exhale, send your energy down your legs and into the ground.

With every inhale, your body is in receptive mode and then switches to a more outward giving mode on the exhale. Your ability to take deep, nourishing breaths is tied to your ability to receive guidance and inspiration from your higher self.

The exhale is related to how well you are able to express that guidance and inspiration and manifest your visions in the physical world. So spend time connecting with your breath and work towards improving how you breathe, as your breathing effects your overall health and happiness.

Daily Tarot Card for Wednesday ~ The Creator

Osho Zen Tarot

Today’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 I need to do or to let go of in order to feel comfortable expressing myself 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!

Oracle Card Reading for Tuesday ~ Let It Go (Quan Yin)

Ascended Masters Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue

Today’s oracle card reading turned up the goddess Quan Yin whose message is “let it go.”  If you are feeling stuck, held back or just drained of energy, ask yourself if there is anything you need to let go of.

If you are holding onto any resentment or anger, now is a good time to let that go. When your energy and focus is all tied up in being irritated or upset about past events, you have less time and creativity to spend on creating a rewarding life.

So ask yourself what do you need to do, say or believe in order to let it go and move on? Can you imagine what it would be like to let go of all the old resentments and frustrations?

Letting go of what you tightly cling to today will free up your energy for tomorrow. Lightness of being and inner peace come from your ability to release past hurt and move forward on your path. Today’s oracle card reading urges you to be gentle with yourself as you do this and give yourself the time and nurturing that you need.

Daily Tarot Card for Monday ~ The Wheel of Fortune

The Dream Enchantress Tarot by Marco Nizzoli

The tarot card for today is The Wheel of Fortune and it’s main message is that you are the captain of your own ship. Life is an adventure and you can decide what areas you would like to explore.

Take on an adventurous spirit today and try something just for the fun of it. Do something you have wanted to do for a while, but have been hesitating. Stop worrying about what others will think!

Part of being the captain of your own ship means that at times you will feel all alone on your journey. Some of your major life decisions may be unpopular with family and friends, but it is important to be true to your self and listen intently to the voice of your soul.

Staying centered is an important aspect of The Wheel of Fortune. Your day (and your life) will have it’s ups and downs, but the more you detach from expecting a particular outcome, the freer you will be.

Daily Tarot Card for Friday ~ Experiencing

The message of today’s tarot card, which is from the Osho Zen Tarot, is that life is about experiencing the journey – not the destination!

If you go out for a walk in nature today, make sure you stop and observe the stillness of the rocks and trees. Take the time to connect with your surroundings and feel the energy that radiates from all living things.

The woman in this card appears to be one with the tree, her glowing aura merging with the aura of the tree. She is fully enjoying the present moment and has managed to slip out of her mind and into the radiant energy of the present.

Today, try being as present as you can be, particularly when talking with others. Instead of trying to analyze another’s words, try feeling them. Try sensing the energy of the other person. This sounds crazy because we are so used to communicating on a mental level and not an energy level. When you are having a conversation with someone today, try being fully present with them, not only listening to what they say but sensing how they feel as well.

Ten of Swords ~ Tarot Reading for Wednesday

ten of swords tarot card
The Dream Enchantress Tarot by Marco Nizzoli

Today’s Tarot card, Ten of Swords, asks the question what happens after you have slayed all your dragons? What will be left for you to focus on?

Sometimes our “problems” become a big part of who we are and we can harbor a secret fear that life will be boring and empty once all the drama has ended. Conflict isn’t just stressful – it can also be exciting and entertaining. Drama can definitely add a certain spiciness to life!

So when you say that you “don’t want anymore drama”, are you being completely honest with yourself?

Another theme I get from this card is that we are all ONE, and we are all deeply connected to each other. So if we hurt, despise or attack someone else, we are also doing this to a part of ourselves. The dragon in this card represents the Shadow Self, the aspect of our self that we deny and repress. When we recognize this aspect in others, we seek to destroy or criticize them.

In this way, the “drama” that we create in our lives is often a way for us to engage with our shadow aspects in the hope that they will eventually be healed. This Ten of Swords tarot card suggests that instead of slaying your dragon, make friends with it and notice how it begins to transform your life!

The Hermit ~ Tarot Card for Monday

August 2012 / /
Intuitive Tarot
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.

Oracle Card Reading for Friday ~ Independence

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.
