Tarot Contemplation – Strength

tarot_strength2

Today’s focus is on mind over matter … and a reminder to focus on what you do want, rather than what you don’t want in your life.  Its main point is that you have the ability to harness your thoughts and to use them for your — and everyone else’s — highest good.  Not only do you have the ability, you have the responsibility.  Conquer your fears. Control your impulses.  Do not lose patience with yourself or what you are doing.  Meditation now is key.  Contemplate and spend the time alone, even if you are in a committed relationship and have kids.  This is no time to spend in preoccupation and fear.  Of paramount importance today is for you to keep your head on straight.  This is a good time to correct bad habits if you need to do so in order to protect your health.  To be truly strong, you must pay attention to and develop each leg of the triad we are made from:  body, mind and spirit.  Be sure you are spending time focusing on each of the three.  The Universe is reminding you today that you are strong and probably stronger than you think.  Yes, it can get better!

Rebalancing energies on every front today, which also means giving yourself equal attention by way of eating healthy, allowing for some alone-downtime for meditation and enough hours of bed rest.  Remain or get positive to rebalance more quickly.  The development within comes from achieving your approach to keeping the details of your life on an even keel.  You’re about to fit things together in new or unusual ways.  Don’t let anyone knock you off your stride.  Pay attention to your ideas about equality and balance and share them.  And, don’t judge books by their covers … you’re just limiting your opportunities when you do.  This is an excellent day to do more energywork cleansing and rebalancing your chakras and clearing your Third Eye.

The Legendary Powers of a Seventh Son of a Seventh Son | Ancient Origins

Seven seems to be a magical number in many cultures, and is often imbued with mystical and religious attributes. In the Abrahamic faiths, for instance, it is believed that God created the world in seven days, whilst in Greek mythology, the Pleiades were seven sisters who were the companions of the goddess Artemis. Other groups of seven include the Seven Wonders of the World, the Seven Sages of Greece and the Shichi Fukujin (Seven Gods of Fortune) of Japanese mythology. In folklore, seven also has a special role in the order of birth.

tarot_KnightWands

When the Knight of Wands appears, it is a sign that this is a great time for travel if you can manage to get away.  You ought to be feeling charged up, full of energy and ready to get things done.  Your self-confidence is likely to be increasing and this ought to help you toward your goals.  Knights are often message bearers and in the Wands suit, the messengers are likely to be positive and related to work or career.  Your projects are likely to be/have been more successful than you would have expected or predicted.  You have a lot of reasons to feel pride.  Savor it.  You may be asked to travel in connection with your job — this ought to go well and have at least some enjoyable moments.  The work news is good.  If you’re waiting on results from an interview, you are likely to find that you got the position.  This will be good for you!  You may meet someone new through your work.  The new person is likely to have hair on the lighter end of the spectrum.  If you’re already committed, be sure that your communication is as clear as it can be.  Make a point to make time to just talk to each other.  This will improve your feelings of closeness substantially.  Money ought to be flowing more easily during this time.  Even so, be sure to save at least a little.  Cut expenses where you can.  Your health situation is likely to be good, but be careful when exercising to avoid unnecessary injuries.  You may be suddenly introduced to a new way of looking at things spiritually which appeals to you deeply.  Take some time to explore the “new why” before spending a great deal of time or money on it.

Tarot Contemplation – The Empress

tarot_EmpressAh, the Empress: the archetype of feminine power. She’s watery, hard to fathom, mysterious, fertile and sexual. She augurs a need for us to be in touch with our feminine side, to listen to our intuition and to give priority to our emotions and passions. She can signify coming abundance. People are going to be more attracted to you than usual (in every sense) and you are likely to find people on your doorstep wanting your advice or yourshoulder to cry on. This will be beneficial to you because you are now going to be able to see yourself more in the way that others see you — as someone with wisdom, and a lot to offer. So share your hard-won perspectives on life and know that your wisdom and caring is valuable. Things should be going very well for you at work. People will be inspired by your ideas, your passions and your way of doing things. Let your inner voice guide you in how you operate. The Empress directs us to follow our bliss and that the rest will follow. This is a potent time for love, and you may find that men and women alike are suddenly finding you far more attractive (both in terms of friendship and romance), and you will want to be careful with how you use this power as it is very potent. If you are single, this is a time when love — true love — could very well come your way. Committed relationships often become sweeter, deeper and truer under this influence. This is an excellent time to make investments, so follow your instincts about them. Money should be flowing very well. Be sure to keep the flow going by putting back out a little of what you have to a person or cause that is important to you. Share your abundance to work Law of Attraction energies for you. If you’re trying to conceive, this is an excellent sign that pregnancy may be forthcoming. If you’re not ready to be a parent and pregnancy is a possibility for you, then this is a time when you out to be triply careful! Your intuition may well be trying to send you a message during this time. It will be important to listen closely to it now and if that requires that you make time alone, even though there are others that need you, then making time alone needs to be a priority. Heed any messages or warnings that seem to come to you now through your inner voice.

Going Through Some Changes, Are You? — Love Has Won

By Zen Gardner, 07/05/2016

Whatever you do, don’t fight them. Even the seeming dark experiences. The learning curve has taken a mighty leap forward for all who are willing to listen, and follow on. Our most precious lessons come from examining the seemingly dark places with open hearts.That’s where the gems are buried.In order for any of us to move forward in this transitional shift into higher levels of conscious awareness we must have a full knowledge of ourselves as well as our surroundings. Only in self healing, actualization, and deep, sincere grounding can we be fitted for the challenges ahead.And this takes courage. The courage of our convictions and willingness to venture into the unknown. At any cost. Into the UnknownHaving explored all known avenues only to find we’re not yet fully empowered nor tooled to do the job that appears to be at hand to realistically change the course of this planet’s apparent destiny, we must take this as a confirming signal to move into unknown realms. The ones unknown to each of us individually, as well as collectively.So much has been pioneered by brave, realized souls who’ve manifested on earth through the ages. Much of the teachings they left behind appears vague, cryptic, and even inconclusive to those first coming upon them.Such is the nature of our layered realities.Much like prospectors or alchemists looking for treasure, each of us seeks personal fulfillment and answers to heart-held questions we’re born with. As we progress, often learning by trial and error, we’re led into new realms of thought and most notably personal experience. This shared conscious growth is often painful but always exhilarating as we venture into to what is yet unexplored territory.Learning to Know..and TrustHeart knowledge, also known in somewhat vague, minimizing and enigmatic nomenclature as intuition, is our true language and reliable resource. The mind only analyzes and processes in its very limited framework.Such is the nature of our restricted understanding of the spiritual realm, as this heart knowledge is invariably defined from the mental realm with all of its ingrained handicaps and limitations. That so-called science relies on what they call verifiable, quantifiable evidence to prove something is a testament to the extent of collective man’s chosen ignorance in its lust for control and “self” preservation.How can society ever evolve past its current self-defeating loop of shallow base-sensory limitation when only allowing evidence that concurs its own system? Again, insanity taking on profound manifestations in plain sight, yet few pay attention to these glaring limitations.In order to break this self-reinforcing cycle we must reach deeper, outside of this planar view of reality. We must seek, sense, find and explore the realms beyond this limited physical sensory mechanism. Unfortunately anything experienced outside this physical realm is usually cloaked in some sort of religious practice, belief system or seemingly dark esoteric gobblydygook.  A whole other subject in itself, but hijack these other realms they do.We See Better in the Dark than We Do in the LightAs what’s left of the disintegrating global structure descends into various levels of chaos before our eyes, another world is clearly emerging. As if from a parallel dimension or timeline, another creative and earth-connected form is manifesting at an exponential, albeit somewhat obscure, rate.Burgeoning out of awakening hearts this new world is both within this old dying structure and without it simultaneously. Like the process of cell division as we watch an amoeba or organic cell divide and separate into individual organisms, humanity is coming apart from within itself.One heart at a time, which in turn catalyses the collective process, and vice versa.It’s during these times that we must move into extra-sensory reliance and learn to listen and respond to our newly re-empowered heart knowledge, as well as innate spiritual radar. While our 5 sense mechanisms say one thing, our hearts may be giving us a completely different message.When the lights of this shallow perception are out, our hearts grow soundly strong in perceptive comparison. That’s why we see more clearly in the dark. There’s nothing to fear in their manipulation of our superfluous reality when we’re connected to source in such a profound and meaningful manner.Strange, You Say?Does this all sound vague and spacey? Not if you’re listening closely.An unusual thing is enveloping our understanding as it morphs our literal paradigm of understanding. It’s not easy to judge since we’re the subjects of this emergence, but there is a place in each of us to take refuge and gain profound insight, as well as centered grounding.It’s a very strange time energetically, and what things seem to be are rarely, if ever, what they are. Then mix constant shifting on every level and the awakening energetic vibrations as well asapparent desperation at times on the part of the
