Death: Significators of Growth

Death Tarot Card: Reaching Guideposts

Think of the Death tarot card this way- on the path to our personal enlightenment, we arrive at guideposts. These are points along our path where we are destined to reach. They signify growth and let us know we are on the right path and doing the right thing. Somehow, we just know that we reached at one. We feel it in our guts and we simply have a feeling of arrival. We reach these landmarks and we absorb the energy we are meant to absorb from them. Then, it is time to carry on to the next guidepost.

The space between the guideposts may seem dark, distant, and uncertain, and it takes faith to know that we going in the right direction. Don’t doubt yourself and don’t second guess yourself. Know with certainty that your feet are taking you in the right direction even if your head doesn’t understand it. As we set out for the next guidepost, it is like we are leaving behind a chapter of our life to reach the next one. This is as if to die and be born anew. Today is a day to seek this new birth.

Let go of who you have been. Take with you the strength you have gathered in the arrival of the last guidepost, but move forward to the next one. At the arrival of the next one, it will seem as though you are starting something new and exciting in your life, This is the lesson of the Death card today. Move forward. Don’t grow stagnant. The next guidepost is ahead of you. Go for it.

Sun Tarot Card: Something to Look Forward To

The Sun tarot card asks, have you ever really looked forward to something? You knew the day would come, and you counted the days until it got here. Maybe you even marked the days off on the calendar until the day finally arrived. Maybe it was the last day of a job you didn’t like. Maybe it was the start a vacation. Maybe it was your wedding day. Whatever it was, when the day finally got there, it felt great. Didn’t it? At last!

Your patience, although tested at times, has finally payed off. Now you feel great. This is your time to spend on top of the world. Consider this today. What have you been waiting for? Has the day come? Tap into that good feeling, even if it hasn’t. Even if you still have months, weeks, days or hours yet to go, Imagine that it has and enjoy the bliss of it. This is the message of the Sun tarot card for today.

2 of Swords: Do You Really Care?

2 of Swords: Talk to the Hand

The 2 of swords tarot card says, sometimes, don’t you just want to say “Talk to the hand?” People are coming at you, running their mouths, expecting you to listen to what they have to say, expecting you to care. But do you want to listen? Would you rather  be alone with your own thoughts than to listen to this blow-hard prattle on?  Do you really care what they are talking about? Is it just another story about what their granddaughter did?  Is it a request? Are they asking you to do something they could just as easily do their self? Are they asking you what time it is, when they could just as easily look at the clock on the wall for themselves?

Today may be that kind of a day. Of course, you need to be polite, or should be at least. It isn’t always appropriate to put your hand up and tell them to be quiet. You really can’s say “Would you just shut up!” to anybody. So what can you do? Tolerate them as bet you can then slip away. If possible, avoid these people altogether today. This will give you peace, and you are entitled to peace. This is the message for today from the 2 of swords.

10 of Cups Tarot Card: Family and Friends

The 10 of Cups tarot card says, today, draw power from those close to you. Maybe you have been feeling down. Maybe you need some cheering up. Maybe the way to feel better is to be open to those who know you the best. This can be your family or your closest friends.

However these people are in your life, let them be there for you today. Let them make the difference they can make.

The Hierophant: So Much To Learn

The Fool's Path Tarot Hierophant

The Fool’s Path Tarot Hierophant

The Hierophant Tarot Card: Finding Lessons Everywhere

The Hierophant tarot card says, those that think they know everything are severely stagnating their selves. They are severely limiting any future growth and progress that they could be enjoying. Let this be on your mind today. The Hierophant tarot card reminds us of teachers. It reminds us that lessons can be found everywhere as long as we open our awareness to them.

So open your awareness to them! If something isn’t going your way, resist the temptation to be victimized. Instead, use it as an opportunity for growth and new learning. Remember, there is always something new to be learned.

You will never learn everything there is to know, so keep learning. Keep growing. Keep looking for the lessons that situations have to teach us. Do this, and you will be amazed at how smart you become on all levels- mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This is today’s message from the hierophant.

Ace of Pentacles: Potential Energy

Ace of Pentacles Tarot Card: Potential

The Ace of Pentacles tarot card tells you, the word of the day is “Potential.” Think in terms of potential energy. Here is something that could easily happen, but you must supply the right conditions for it. You have ideas and resources. Combined, these ideas and resources can easily turn into something beneficial and lucrative.

So, make it happen. Think of this potential energy in terms of a kernel of popcorn. Stored inside that kernel is the potential to pop and turn into something quite different from that little kernel. But it is not going to pop spontaneously without any help. You need to provide the proper conditions, grease in a pan (if you are old school about it) and the right amount of heat.

The point is, it takes conscious effort. What kernel of potential do you have stored in your mind? Throw some grease on it and turn up the heat. Watch it pop. Watch it turn into something a whole lot better than what it was when it started. This is the message of the Ace of Pentacles for today.

6 of Pentacles: Show some appreciation

6 of Pentacles Tarot Card: Help Each Other

None of us are alone on the planet. We all interact and come in contact with other people all the time. Sometimes we like to act better than others, but are we really? When you come right down to it, don’t we all want the same basic things? That being the case, why not help each other out? If I see you and see that there is something I have have that you could use, why not give it to you?

If you see me in lack of something you have, why not help me out with it? Let’s all show each other a little appreciation and respect this way. It may not start with another person in your life, so let it start with you. Just for today, be giving. Whatever that may mean in any particular situation. You do it, and I’ll do it. Maybe others will catch on and want to be a part of it.

If we are lucky, maybe others will feel like they are missing out on some important new movement in the world and they will start doing it too. Who knows, maybe this spirit of generosity will become the new normal. How cool would that be?

The Empress: Who Could Use Your Kindness?

The Empress Tarot Card

The Empress Tarot Card: Being There For People

Consider the mothering qualities of The Empress tarot card. This card indicates a loving nature and nurturing tendencies. Now ask yourself, who in your life could benefit from these qualities from you? Is there somebody who is feeling low, who could really use a friend or a comrade? What can you do for this person, or these people?

Just for today, do not be blind to the people who could really use a little of that magic you offer. If this is somebody you are comfortable giving a hug, give them a hug. If this is somebody you can make laugh, make them laugh. Would they laugh at a hug from you? That would be two birds with one stone, wouldn’t it?

Be mindful and be thoughtful of the people you encounter today. In the future, they will remember and appreciate you as the person who was there for them that time. That is a good thing. It generates positive ripples that will reverberate out to others. Keep this in mind.
