The Nature of Today's Energy 9.6.13: The Empress Card Must Be Turned Right Side Up.

Friday 9.6.13:

The card of the day is Fertility = The Empress. The hidden energy card is The World. The card sits in the position of Green = compassion, love, and cultivation. 

The energy of the day is about receiving what you need at the right time. What if you were shown what the true possibilities will be, when you are faced with a certain choice? 
Would you still walk the path you were given?

Sometimes you are given the answer. The true nature of what can happen. You are shown what the outcome can be. 

We still decide to walk down the path of negative destruction. 

The cards are talking about abundance and being in the right place at the right time. You are walking on the right path. 

I have to be honest. Today brought about a lot of things. The abundance of what?

Every card contains a light and shadow side to it. 
The Empress does mean abundance but I also view the shadow side as excessive. Too much of something. It is not always a great idea to take on more than you can handle. 

You become full. Full of crap. Full of junk. 

One wants to be empty. Ready to be filled with good. 
The Empress brings us only good. The shadow side of the card is brought about because one wishes to separate from the Truth. 

What are you seeing an abundance of? Is it of good?

Maybe it is time to empty your spiritual self. Just release the ties and binds that you have placed on your spirit. 

As I write this the song "Weightless", by Natasha Bedingfield, comes to mind. 
She talks about cutting the strings and floating on a journey of hope. 
Maybe the Empress card is here to remind you that it is time to cut the strings that bind you down and float on a wonderful journey of hope. Your hope. 

It is time to take care of you. Take care of your spirit. Take care of that beautiful soul within you. Allow it to fly. Allow your mind to dream. Dream and float to your good. The Empress card must be turned right side up. To allow the birth of a great idea to be born. For you to be reborn. To wake up and be alive. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 6.23.13: Have Compassion Towards the Endless Chatter in Your Head.

Sunday 6.23.13:

Another week has gone by and the energy was about victory. 
What did you win?

I recently put five dollars into a vending-machine, to pay for a $.75 bag of peanuts, and received everything in quarters. I yelled out "I won!"

No one was around to hear me, but just the fact that it felt like a casino slot, made me smile and think about what I really had won. Sometimes the victory of one battle is simply a degree of winning, by evening out. The same amount of deaths on either side and same amount of Van-damage. 

We put so much energy and time into something, that when it produces a "pay out", we think that we are ahead. This is not always the case. 

There are times when you have to come to an agreement in order to move forward with your life, due to the opposing side having the same amount of force and power, causing a stand still. 

An agreement must be made in order to reach your goal. The answer can sometimes be the act of agreeing to disagree, and walking away. 

What are you walking away from? 

How much time and money you have put into the battle? 

I use to think that if I put enough energy and compassion into a relationship, then surely they will see just how spectacular I am, and want to never leave my side. Silly Mystic, unobtainable men are for kids. 

I use to over analyze every move that I made. I use to over think every reaction the other person would give me. 

He did not respond to my text. That means he is getting tired me. That means that he does not want to talk to me. What do I do?

Oh the endless chatter in my mind. I have to calm my crazy ass down and state "All is as it should be". I came to the understanding that I am worthy of great things. If that person is not part of it, then so be it. I had to let go. Have compassion for the pitfalls and booby-traps I was placing on my own path, back tracking to the start, stepping into one, and screaming "How could this happen?"

I want to share a shadow side of me. I use to go after men who were unobtainable because I knew that it would never work out. The Mystic thought he was safe if the end result was pain and heartache. How quickly the men in my life would latch onto my compassion. They understood that I would sacrifice every ounce of light I had within me, to make sure they were okay. 
I was creating my own down fall. 
I came to realize this pattern within my life and had to really let it go. To state "I am worthy of a healthy relationship, with a man who will treat me just as wonderful, as I treat him."

I had to speak of clarity. I knew that I was this spectacular person who had so much to give. That wonderful man had to be a vessel that would be able to transmute the energy, I had to give, and in turn reflect it right back into my heart Chakra. He needed to be my compliment. 

The real key is to stop the endless chatter in your head. Focus. 

Focus on the moment you live within. The flower will grow much faster than the worry weed that you have been watering. Believe me, it is so wonderful to find that wonderful person who thinks the world of you. It is not rare. You have to start with the acceptance of who you really are and loving the very vessel that you sit within. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 4.30.13: The Lover

Tuesday 4.30.13:

Court Cards...Blah! 
My mantra for when I pull a court card should be "Oh Crap..."
Actually, that would not help me at all. I am only kidding. I have learned that when a court card comes up, there are some questions that need to be asked. Mainly me asking my spirit guide "What, who, and where in the heck is this card referring to?"

She simply smiles at times. She understands that as human; frustration is part of our everyday vocabulary. 

I know that in the coming days, there are a few court cards making their presence known, and I have meditated, coming to the conclusion that they are an energy that I/we will have to take on. 

Now, I begin with the King of Swords. I was taught that the archetype for this card is the Lover. Astrological sign, to me, is the Libra. My dearest friend Shaun is a Libra and he lives it to the fullest. Or rather to me, he lives it to the fullest. One must always leave their words open to many interpretations. To state that something is concrete and set in stone, can lead you to many talks of disagreement. Is that a bad thing? 
Nope. For everyone has a given right to form an opinion and thought. It is up to us, on whether we wish to amuse them and disagree back, or find the truth within the statement being made. 

Wow. Today will be about communication. 
The hidden energy card is Death. Transformation. 

I know that I must be very fair with the people that I will come in contact with today. Fair in regards to listening to both sides of the story and making a decision based off of clarity, rather than emotion or bias opinion. 

There must still be a sense of compassion mixed in with that fairness. The scales must balance on both sides. One containing the lie and the other containing the truth. What if they were always balanced, only becoming unbalanced when we decide to place false emotions (or rather a bunch of crap) on either side of the scale. 
For even a lie, can be true, to the person who is stating it. That is another subject, for another time and place. 

This is true. A thought is created and born. Life takes place. The reality is stirred with great intent and passion. Then after the experience has been experienced, the dream dies. A new one is formed and shaped and the process begins again. 

So, what am I getting at? 
Well, I have to look at the card to understand. To receive a message. 

We must have a clear mind, when entering into a meeting today. We must cut through the storm. 
I once knew a Curiendera who could stop a hurricane and tornado with an axe. splitting it into two and causing the energy and momentum to go elsewhere.
I miss my healing arts teacher. Even though there was a language barrier, the energy and thoughts, were understood. 

This is how I view the King of Swords. Clarity is your weapon. Truth is the point at the end of your sword. As a matter of fact, you do not even have to swing your sword. Standing your ground and holding up your sword of truth (or for Wonder Woman fans, a lasso of truth) will create that energy of balance and fairness. 
If you have to strike, and I know that there are times when we must, then understand that you do it with wisdom, rather than emotion. 
Kind of like a power move in a video game. You use the sword filled with energy to push your opponent back. Kind of like a stun move. Giving you a few seconds to tap on your buttons, going ape shit crazy with a 10 hit combo move. Sweet! 
Oops...my geek side wanted to be present.

This day will test your patience. Will test who you are. Remember Inner Strength is setting the stage.  
What power talisman will you refer to, when things get a little tough? I always state, that they are only words. You can always walk away and do something new. No one says you have to sit there and listen to the person talking. As a matter of fact, you have every right to punch him in the nose, but that will only get you into trouble. Compassion and Clarity. You could turn the other cheek, with fist clenched, praying that the person will slap you again. Or not...the choice is yours. I know that I will be thinking of this in my head, but I return to that which true. Love does soothe the wildest beast. Even our Ego can be tamed with one stroke of compassion. 

Blessed Be.  

The Nature of Today's Energy 4.28.13: The Ending of a Cycle

Sunday 4.28.13:

The Vicious Cycle of gaining weight and losing weight is always in the back of my mind. I am looking to relate the card known as The Universe, to the energy of today. I could only think of one thing. My ability to try so many crash diets, lose a couple of pounds, and then proceed to reward myself with a full weekend of eating unhealthy...Can this really be associated with the the tarot card "The Universe"?

Of course. This card sits in the position of Bee/Forgiveness/Compassion. The hidden energy card is The Hanged Man. 

I am going to state that I am only five pounds over my average weight. Actually, my story begins three years ago. I was very overweight and was always depressed, thinking that I would never fall in love with anyone, or rather, no one would fall in love with me. Then I was advised by my spirit guide to go on a journey. A journey to find Aaron. I decided to lose the weight, get healthy, and find the person who mattered the most...my self. I went on a strict diet at first, then found that the diet started to become a way of life for me. It was all that I knew and understood. I would go out and enjoy myself with out the over indulgence of eating food, drinking alcoholic beverages, and tasteful sweets. I could say "No" to things that were placed before me and become an example for those who also were looking to simply eat healthy and exist. Beauty was no longer about how skinny I was, but it turned into how beautiful I really am. The pounds started to come off, because my attitude also changed, into one of being comfortable with the person I once was. Before all the failed relationships, ups and downs of life, and the detours on the path of life. The person who I once knew to be independent, strong, and beautiful. 

I feel wonderful and great, now, and find that when I splurge a little on sweet temptations, I can lose the weight again. I am not going to return to the 230 pounds of unhappiness. The cycle ends and begins again. This is the Universe at work. We find the end of the rainbow...now what? Well, I know that I will surely go searching for another one. The greatest joy is always found on the path to the rainbow. The people you meet, the places we rest at, and the family that you reconnect with, again. 

Maybe the forgiveness should be with the way we let our Ego treat us? Maybe we should have a little bit of splurge, in order to understand what insanely full feels like? Maybe we need to forgive our state of "always being in control", so that we can be able to return to that which we know. That we are beautiful. That the cycle must have an ending, in order to move into the new. Diets will always be there. There will always be something new to try, so that the last five pounds will surely disappear. Maybe it is the fun of trying something new that appeals to me? Maybe it is my spirit, longing to teach me, that I am still beautiful. Even if I gain five extra pounds.

I have not lost the spirit within me that states "I am beautiful!". 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 4.21.13: Prosperity

Sunday 4.21.13:

The card, regarding the energy of the day, is the Sun. It sits in the position of the Bee/Compassion/Forgiveness.
The hidden energy card is Death.

Some state that all good things must come to an end.
What do I state? I invoke the great Karen Carpenter and quote "We've only just begun, to live."

My day was filled with so much food and happiness. I enjoyed the nice day in Austin and tried a new pizza place in the process. I had a hard time relating the card to the day, until the very end hours of this glorious night. It hit me after we returned from shopping. The energy did contain prosperity. The energy was about transformation. The day challenged me to see compassion in everything.

Did you show others compassion?

The day is not over yet and I want to advise you that the real prosperity lies within the moment. Your prosperity is in you heart. In the home you have made.

Blessed Be.
