The Most Beautiful Word in the World…

fridays with veronicaVeronica is my evil, Tarot reading twin. She is a lover of all things mystical and smutty, and between drinking martinis and chasing after boy toys, she hardly has time to write this column. But despite her busy schedule she is about to dish out some “Goddess Guidance” from my Goddess Guidance Oracle Deck….

Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue

Boundaries! Boundaries! Boundaries!

Fuck, I love that word.

Say NO. Just say NO. NO. NO. NO!

I love that word too, and so should you.

Ishtar, while sporting some impressive cleavage, says “love yourself enough to say no to others demands on your time and energy.” Amen to that.

This weekend, practice saying “no” just for the hell of it. Say no to as many things as you can think of. Even things you want to say “yes” to. Except if its a free drink or a free lap dance….or anything free for that matter.

Okay, let me amend that – just say “no” to all things that will require some amount of effort or sacrifice on your part.

Remember when you were two years old and said “no” to everything just for shits and giggles? Do that! Channel your inner two year old.

By the end of the weekend you may find that you have created a tantalizing expanse of free time, deliciously devoid of annoying friends and demanding family members. Pat yourself on the back! The only downside is there won’t be anyone left to say “no” to.

In the comments below, tell me what you will be saying “NO” to this weekend…..

Coming out of the Tarot Closet

Do you hide the fact that you’re a Tarot reader when you’re in the company of friends, family or co-workers?

Are you worried about what others may think of you if they knew you were totally into Tarot cards?

Your not alone! Most of us Tarot lovers have felt this way at some point and perhaps still do.

Join me (Kate), Rhonda Snow and David Dear in our latest podcast episode as we discuss this hot topic:

Veronica’s advice: Skip the babyshower and go to Vegas

fridays with veronica
Veronica Noir, my evil counterpart, is too busy lounging on a yacht in the Hawaiian Islands – surrounded by glistening boy-toys –  to write today’s reading. So I’ve taken an old reading from a year ago and I’m totally recycling it. God, what would Veronica think? She hates people who recycle.

the world 2

You are a multifaceted creature – never forget it! That is what The World is sayin’ to me today.

There are many different aspects to your personality and who you are, so don’t let yourself get pigeonholed into any silly “roles” or “personas” – the world is wide open!

Lets take a gander at this card, shall we? The naked lady in the center is dancing inside an ovally, egg shaped space – and if that’s not blatant vagina symbolism, well then I don’t know what is! And she grasps a phallic object in each hand (lucky bitch).

There is something wonderfully hermaphroditic about The World and its message is that you must be both receptive and active in order to truly be Queen (or King) of your surroundings.

Make a to-do list AND meditate. Let go of trying to control everything AND make a plan of action. Say YES to things that make you feel open and free (like a trip to Vegas!) and NO to things that make you want to crawl back in bed (like a friend’s boring baby-shower).

You get the idea! Open yourself to the world by opening up to all aspects of yourself without judgement.

Because I am nosy, I want to know…how will you be expressing your “masculine” and “feminine” sides this weekend? Tell me in the comments below!

Quiz: How Psychic Are You?

Guess what? YOU are psychic! How do I know? Well, because everyone is…..to one degree or another.

Like hearing or eyesight, we all have a “sixth sense” which is our intuition, or our “gut instincts”.

Some of us are more in touch with it than others and some of us may be more naturally intuitive. But we are all intuitive/psychic.

I know this is kind of like saying “everyone’s special in their own way”, but stay with me…

We are all capable of moving our bodies (unless your completely paralyzed) and yet only a few of us will become Olympic athletes. Some of us exercise regularly for health reasons, some of us sit on the couch all day watching Vampire Diaries and some of us may train relentlessly for a particular sport.

Psychic ability is the same kind of thing. We all have it but what we choose to do with it is up to us.

However, some of us just have more of a natural inclination or interest in psychic stuff. Chances are, if you’re reading this, you have what I call a “psychic personality.” Read on to see if this is you…

 

Part 1: How psychic are you?

1) You’re at a crowded festival and find yourself fantasizing about:

a) Leaving early so you can curl up on your couch with a good book

b) Hoping up on stage for an impromptu performance. You LOVE being the center of attention!

c) You’re not fantasizing about anything. You’re just enjoying blending into the crowd, people watching and soaking it all in.

 

2) The phone rings and you know it’s your old high school boyfriend because:

a) You just have this “feeling” it’s him

b) You just ran into him yesterday and he said he’d call you today. Plus, you have caller ID.

c) You’ve been having tons of weird dreams about him lately

 

 3) When you meet someone for the first time, you usually:

a) Get a pretty good sense of who they are as a person – your first impressions are rarely wrong

b) Notice the brands of clothing they’re wearing and the yellow stains on their teeth

c) Get a sudden image of them 20 years into the future –  CEO of a financial institution, balding with a gut and getting a lap dance from an underage stripper while their wife stays at home with their two children.

 

4) You’re on vacation and the resort your staying at is offering 3 different workshops. The one that appeals most to you is:

a) Communicating with your Higher Self

b) Surfing

c) Painting from the Soul

 

Okay, great! Your done the first section on the quiz. Look at your answers – if you chose mostly a’s and c’s, you have what I call a “psychic personality” – you tend to be more introverted than extraverted, are fairly in touch with your intuition and feel drawn to learn more about it.

If you chose mostly b’s, you probably couldn’t care less about “intuition” or “psychic senses” and have no idea why you are even doing this lame quiz! Your psychic ability is more latent. You may chose to work with it later in life or not at all – and that’s okay.

 

Part 2: Can you trust your intuition?

1) You’ve made plans to go for a picnic with a friend. You get a strong feeling the day before that you should postpone the picnic and stay home instead. So of course you:

a) Dismiss this as silly paranoia and stick to your original plans – there is no logical reason why you shouldn’t go on the picnic!

b) Listen to your gut feeling and reschedule the picnic for next week

 

2) You have to choose between two fabulous job offers – waitressing at the Playboy mansion or being a human rights lawyer. How do you decide?

a) Draw up a list of pros and cons for each job and then phone your best friend and ask for her advice

b) Do some journalling, take lots of long walks, meditate and ask your higher self for guidance

meditation

 

3) You meet a really hot guy (or girl) through an online dating site. You get bad vibes right away, despite their good looks and charming personality. Do you:

a) Get mad at yourself and think “for heaven’s sake, this person has been nothing but nice to me, I’m such a terrible person for feeling this way”. Plus your really bored and lonely, and nobody’s perfect, right?

b) Enjoy some polite conversation but keep your distance, don’t give out any personal information and decline a second date. Sure they’re hot, but you don’t want to end up in pieces in their freezer!

Okay, tally up your answers.

If you got mostly a’s, this shows that you have strong intuition yet you don’t trust it. This is a common frustration for many “psychic personalities” and it renders your intuition almost useless.

The good news is, there’s plenty of things you can do to overcome this. Here are some helpful resources to check out:

How to Develop Your Intuition: Tips and Techniques

Interview with Dr.Cara Gubbins on Intuition

If you got mostly b’s, congratulations! Not only are you in-touch with your intuition, but you also trust it and are willing to act on it. That’s no small feat! You have the potential to be an Olypmic level psychic!

 

The Psychic Personality

Over the years, I have noticed that those who are very connected to their intuition tend to have common personality traits. See below for my list. Of course, not every intuitive is going to have all of these traits, but these are just the one’s that I keep noticing.

Avoids crowds but loves people-watching

Prefers a quieter atmosphere most of the time

Loves reading and collecting books

Seems to need more sleep than the average person

Is drawn to paranormal and new age topics like ghosts, astral travel, psychic development, energy healing, past lives, hypnosis, shamanism, etc….

Prefers deep, intimate conversation to polite small talk

Enjoys alone time

Avoids violent movies and The News

 

What do you think?

In the comments below, please share your thoughts on this topic – can you relate to this list of characteristics? Are you an intuitive introvert? Or a psychic extravert? I would love to hear your take on this!

Four of Pentacles: Time to bust out of your comfort zone!

fridays with veronicaVeronica Noir, The Daily Tarot Girl’s evil counterpart, is here to kick some sense into you with her uncompassionate style of Tarot reading. She usually writes these half-drunk, so take her advice with a grain of salt…or a tablespoon!

the miser
Osho Zen Tarot

Today’s card is 4 of Pentacles and the message is clear: magic doesn’t happen in the comfort zone.

Yes, I know, the comfort zone is awesome. I love it too.

There is nothing I love more than snuggling on my couch, sipping spiked hot chocolate and watching The Vampire Diaries or some other silly show.

But does it make me feel ALIVE? No. Fuck no.

We all need to rest and recharge, I get it. That’s what the comfort zone is for. But don’t stay there forever – you weren’t meant to, for God’s sake!

It’s time for you to bust out from behind your wall and share your sparkly goodies with the world.

You hide yourself out of fear, you modest thing, you! But once you step out of your comfort zone, something amazing happens….your comfort zone gets bigger and bigger and bigger…..

Until suddenly you’re doing nude yoga at your local park and feeling totally cool with it.

In the comments below, tell me how you plan to step out of your comfort zone this weekend…
