What’s Missing in your Tarot Reading?

Today I want to talk about the “missing cards” in a Tarot reading – the cards that are conspicuously absent.

For example, lets say you are doing the Celtic Cross Spread and you have some Pentacles, Swords, Cups and a Major Arcana card or two….but absolutely NO Wands. What does this mean?

Usually, if a reading is void of Wands it can mean there is a lack of passion. So if you were asking about a business idea, the above reading example might indicate that you’ve thought things through (Swords), made practical plans (Pentacles) and your heart is in it (Cups) but you don’t really want to do it – there is no real passion there.

An absence of Cups can mean this situation needs more love, emotion or feeling. No Swords show that more rational thought and clear communication is needed. Few or no Pentacles can indicate that your ideas are not grounded in reality and practicality.

Tarot Tip: The cards that are absent from a reading are just as important as the ones staring back at you.

A really cool thing you can do right now is go through your favorite Tarot deck (the one you most often use) and look at each card. You will notice right away the ones that almost never come up for you in a reading. They will jump right out at you!

Ask yourself if these “no show” cards represent something that’s missing from your life, or do they simply not relate to your situation right now? Sometimes, its the Tarot cards we want the most that never seem to show up for us!

What cards are mysteriously absent for YOU? And what do you think it means? Tell me all about it in the comment section below…

Four of Swords ~ Tarot Card for Wednesday

Wildwood Tarot

Today the message is loud and clear: Take a nap! Stop trying so hard. Spend some time alone…doing nothing.

The Four of Swords (or in the Wildwood Tarot, pictured left, the Four of Arrows) brings the message that it is time to retreat and replenish yourself. If you have been a bit of a Hurry McFlurry lately, its time to go horizontal on the sofa.

True genius emerges when you let your brain go comatose for a while. The butterfly in this card represents the transformation that takes place when we give ourselves the rest we crave. Happy napping! 🙂

Self-Sacrifice ~ Tarot Card for Tuesday

Mystic Meg Tarot

Today’s Tarot card is Self-Sacrifice, also known as The Hanged-Man. This card is asking you to give up looking at things through your own point of view (your ego) – only for today.

Suspend judgement and personal motives and look at this situation through a new set of eyes. While you may feel powerless, this experience will be powerful in the long run. Dare to do nothing right now….one of the most rebellious things you can do!

You are entering an interesting and very powerful phase of your life – you are becoming aware of how your ego and judgements function. You are on the cusp of truly releasing the ego. Meditation can be very helpful for you at this time. Only in the space of no-mind, does true wisdom come forth.

You are a woman (or man) of many hats today! Or perhaps I should say arms. The Sage of Flames, also known as the Queen of Wands, appears to applaud you on your achievements as a divine multi-tasker!

You have what it takes to make things happen today – your on FIRE! Inspiration abounds, as does energy to act on it. A rare and highly prized combo, indeed. But it won’t last forever…

Get organized, prioritize, delegate, write it down and work your magic! You are unstoppable today, so enjoy it. This energy will be with you all week, but by the weekend you will need a long nap and some quality time watching fluffy rom-coms. Make sure you do your most important tasks at the beginning of the week.

Yay, it’s Friday! The Earth Princess (aka Page of Pentacles) comes to you today to remind you to study up. There are times for learning and times for expressing your own ingenuity. Today is a time for learning from someone else.

Take what you learn today, mull it over and make it work for you – put your own spin on things. Don’t just accept someone else’s word as fact, but see how this new info fits into your life and what you can gain from it.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions today. You won’t look like an idiot, don’t worry. Today is all about being the student and playing the inquisitive role. Have fun with it! 🙂

Eight of Cups ~ Tarot Card for Thursday

Okay – main message today is: SAY NO! Like the song from the pervert prevention videos they showed you in school – shout no like you mean it, shout no and run away!  Maybe it was only in Canada that these films were shown, but you know what I mean.

The Eight of Cups is usually about walking away from something that you put a lot of work into, only to find that it doesn’t bring you the meaning and satisfaction you were seeking. But today, the meaning is a little different…

You may be asked to do something or be a part of some group or project. If it doesn’t immediately light you up say NO. You have tons of stuff going on right now and don’t have time for this crap.

The Seeker of Orbs (aka Page of Swords) shows up today to give you encouragement and confirmation as you explore your life path and play the role of spiritual seeker.

As you stay true to yourself and follow the path that calls out to you, be careful not to get distracted with every shiny bauble that catches your attention. Keep your eye on the prize!

When you receive offers, invitations and opportunities, ask yourself how they fit into your life’s purpose. Are they in alignment with your life path? Or will they be a distraction and drain on your energy? Use discernment!

Remind yourself to stay focused today, for there will always be sparkly, interesting things there to distract you 🙂

Learn the Tarot Court Cards Once and For All!

I have a confession….for years I never really felt all that confident with the Court Cards.  When they came up in my own readings, I would feel mildly annoyed and when they came up during a reading I was doing for someone else, I would inwardly curse.

Why?

Because the Court Cards are tricky! They aren’t like the other cards. They are more subtle, more secretive and less obvious than many of the Major and Minor Arcana cards.

So while I had mastered all the other cards in the Tarot, after years of study, the Court Cards remained elusive to me. And they made me doubt my ability as a Tarot Reader.

So I decided to spend some quality time with my Court Cards and learn them once and for all. I read all about the Tarot Courts in all the books I had and I tried all the exercises. By the time I was done I felt I had “mastered” the Court Cards!

I want you to feel like you’ve mastered the Court Cards too, so I present to you my favorite Court Card learning exercises and fun techniques that helped me the most. Enjoy!….

Ten of Pentacles ~ Tarot Card for Thursday

ten of pentacles
Sirian Starseed Tarot

Thursday’s Tarot card is Ten of Pentacles (or Ten of Crystals in the Sirian Starseed Tarot deck). The message is this: wealth is here for you now – but do you believe it?

The woman in this card appears to have just discovered a valuable treasure or jewels, but she is somewhat guiltily looking over her shoulder as if to say is this really for me? (This is how I see this card, anyhow – perhaps you will see it very differently)

Sometimes prosperity and abundance comes rushing toward you, but if you don’t believe you deserve it you will reject it or just not see it. Abundance is a state of mind and if you do not believe it is possible or that you deserve it, you will never have it!

Here is a trick for manifesting financial prosperity that came to me when I looked at this card: believe your financial prosperity/abundance already exists and it is just a matter of you aligning with it. Based on your feelings, thoughts and actions, you align with a particular reality and then that reality is created. So ask yourself if your current feelings, thoughts and actions around money are aligned with your money goals/desires.
