Tuesday 10th April

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you've all had a lovely easter.  Sorry I haven't really been around of late, just had so much going on, and then I had a break away after the weekend.
All I can say is what strange weather at the moment ;-) It's difficult to know what to wear, let alone getting the kids dressed ;-) 
I'm just looking out at the sky now, and it's about to pour down :-( We took the kids out to an indoor play area yesterday and they had lots of fun, even made some new friends..... After all the fun of the school and everyone saying they didn't make friends easily.....

So, anyway, I've bought some things to start my own drawings for my cards, got some photo's ready to use to help draw and I even started working on my own deck this weekend.  I've got 2 decks in planning, so here's hoping it works out.... ;-) Just trying to get prices now for printing them up, thinking about self publishing.

Anyway, that's enough of me going on.... Here's the Fortune card and Transparent Tarot for today. 

So, the Shield is here.  Whilst you hold the shield, your adversaries can not penetrate your defences.  a thick skin keeps you safe from harm.  Till trust is gained, your emotions are hidden.

When we have someone to stand beside us or in front of us we feel strong.  We learn to keep our emotions in check, but there are times when we wear our hearts on our sleeves.

  

It is good to be able to show that you are emotional at times.  It has it's uses, but at times, you need to keep your emotions in check. 

When you feel that you are being battered constantly by another persons emotions, imagine yourself holding a shield that forms a protective barrier all around you.

Our next cards are from the Transparent tarot.

We have the King of Pentacles, the King of Cups and Justice.

As we've seen in the past our King of Pentacles is all about connecting to the earth, he's well grounded with connections to nature and animals, loving to get about in the great outdoors.
Now, our King of Cups is an emotional guy, and this is also where the need for our shield steps in.  He's moody, irritable and it's feeling like he's not a very nice person to know.

He likes to make it seem like he is the loving caring person, but in fact, he isn't.  he's laughing behind your back, thinking you're going to  let his thoughts, words and actions get to you, but in this instance you're not.
Our sword of justice is here, weighing up the balance between these 2 men.  Which is better for you in any instance.  Now if you look at the placing of the cards today you can see that justice overlaps our King of Pentacles and the King of cups is off to one side.  Our pentacle king is far more balanced and relaxed in everything that he does, he is able to support as well as give good advise, should you choose to listen to what he has to say.

The King of Pentacles uses the sword to cut the ties that bind us to the King of Cups, and cut through the barriers of injustice that have been caused, or the injustice that we feel that has been caused by this man.

Take care today and enjoy what's left of the holidays ;-)

Tuesday 3rd April

Good afternoon everyone....


Don't you just love the holidays?   I've been having to help my son with his DS game.... such hard work ;-)  and then I've had my daughter being a star trek impersonator..... A Klingon.... honestly couldn't do anything as she kept on strangling me..... Talk about cruelty to children, this is cruelty to mothers!!!
 So anyway, I got my new deck in the post today.  I've just got the Pathfinder Animal Totem cards.  The artwork is beautiful and so many cards..... 


Today, we've got the Empress, Knight of Wands and the King of Pentacles.

Our knight has the desire to travel.  
Right at the last minute he will decide to take off somewhere.  Spontaneous is the key word with this card today.  He inspires others around him to do new things, it maybe a burst of new energy which helps them to get motivated.  
We then look at the king, he's all about the connection to the earth, having worked hard for what he's got, he has a good connection with animals and plants, and these 2 guys go well together.  With their hard work and dedication they help towards building a better future.  


Ideally suited to working outside or with animals, helping to restore things, so that the earth can regrow what she has lost.  These guys are in the ideal position with their roles in life to help heal the earth.  One to nurture and grow things, and to encourage self sufficiency, and the other to encourage others to try new things.The knight looks to the king for help and guidance, and the king having been there and done that is in the right place to help at this time.These 2 tend to bounce idea's off each other, they compliment each other in many ways, the older male guiding the younger, helping to heal both themselves and the earth, and encourage others to continue their work.


Now, lets have the newbies out ;-)The card I've picked from the Pathfinders deck is the Wolverine/Badger.
The wolverine is known for its strength, ferocity and endurance. More importantly, it is intuitively aware of its own personal power, which enables it to make the most of its potential. Wolverine tells us to examine our lives and abandon the things that stand in the way of using our own personal power to reach our goals.We must learn when to use our strength, ferocity and determination in situations.  We must be ready to endure difficult times and keep going no matter what.  Our insight into situations will guide us through, but we must be willing to make the changes in order improve things.


 The last card I've picked for today is from the Fortune cards.  We have The Oracle.

The Oracle is the supreme keeper of knowledge.  seek wisdom and guidance from elders.  Consult books, teachers or knowledgeable authorities.  The Oracle could also represent a sacrifice made in the quest for wisdom.

When we want to learn something and aren't sure where to go, it is always best to ask those who have the knowledge available.  Sometimes though we have to find our own answers.  

That's all for today, if you have any more questions, why not hop on over to the forum  or to book a reading or tarot course, go to the website 

I look forward to seeing you all, take care and have a lovely day today.

Monday 2nd April

Wow, April already.... March flew by didn't it?

Sorry I've not been around for a few days, the kids finished on Friday and so we had end of term assembly...... Now we have 2 weeks off..... Not sure I'll manage to last lol ;-)

So what have you got planned for the coming weeks?  If the weather lasts we'll be out and about, but failing that, the DS or Wii will come in handy....


I'm just hoping my kids easter eggs come in time.... It gets quite awkward as I have to get Dairy free things for them, so in the local shops they're not always in stock, so I have to go online for them, but at least it won't affect them like the normal dairy stuff does.
I'd rather healthy kids that don't suffer asthma and eczema through being given dairy products...

So anyway, here's our cards for today.  We've got the Transparent Tarot and Animal Wise Tarot Today for a change.


Today, the 3 cards we're focusing on are the Page of Cups, 7 of Pentacles  and the 2 of Pentacles.
So, I'm looking at this card as 3 individual souls today.  Focusing first on the page, we have a young girl, she's emotional and very much, she wears her heart on her sleeve.  She can be easily baited or annoyed which she tends to react to by exploding, or running away from things.  She can take comments to heart and the things that affect her mostly are by a young boy, signified by the 7 of pentacles.  He is always on the go, not wanting to sit still, he is the "fidget" of the family. 

The difficulty is with these 2 children, one always wanting to do something and the other being the more emotional of the 2 it is often difficult to find the right balance for both their needs.
When the boy child feels light of heart and not angry, then the scales tip the girl the other way, she reacts sullenly and appears argumentative in order to gain the attention, but when the focus is not on the boy, he then plays the role of the argumentative child and the girl in this instance is the one who gets upset by his actions.
It's time to learn to balance our home life and work life equally, just as we balance our inner and outer child.
We can't have sun without the night, just as we can't have dark without light, so we have to learn to nurture not only ourselves but also the others in our care and find out the needs and wants of all involved and not take things for granted.

The next card is from the Animal Wise tarot, and we have the Hanged Man.

The animal on this card is the Bat, and his message is that of New Truths and Perceptions.  To see things clearly, there maybe need to hang around in different places or even hang upside down for a while to view things differently.  Think of an illusion, it doesn't always appear the same to another person, it can affect them differently.
This is the time to think and look at things maybe from a child's point of view or even from another adults.  Place yourself in their shoes.  If the shoe was on the other foot, what would you feel, or what would you think?
At the moment, it feels like we are being held back for some reason.  the truth will soon become clearer, but only when you are ready to open your eyes properly and see things for what they really are.
Learn to observe things but remain unseen as you do so.

So, that's all for today, but if you feel you would like a reading with any of the cards that are available, feel free to head on over to the website for more information.  There's different readings available as well as prices to suit all pockets.And if you book a reading, there will be a little surprise when you receive it in your in box.
So why not call today.

Take care, big hugs and positive thoughts going out top you all.
