Tarotscope for the week of January 31, 2011

REMEMBER: You are responsible for your own fate and destiny.  You may also want to check out your rising sign (ascendant sign).  You can find your rising sign by entering your birthday, time of birth, and place of birth on http://www.astro.com/ under free horoscopes.

Aries – Seven of Cups – You are stuck in a daydream this week, Aries.  Now is a great time to engage in creative endeavors such as writing, drawing, or singing.  Your head is in the clouds and will be filled with a lot of imagination.  You can also expect to meet someone who will be your “muse” or creative inspiration.

Taurus – Hanged Man – You are “hanging tough” this week.  Now is the time to sit back and plan your next course of action.  You may also feel like you are in limbo or at a standstill.  Now is the time to just roll with the punches and set goals for you.

Gemini – Three of Swords – You’re in for heartbreak of some sort, sweet Gemini.  Be gentle with yourself this week and nurture your wounds.  Remember, tough times don’t last, only tough people do. This is also a good time to heal from past heart aches and troubles.

Cancer – Eight of Cups – Financial woes take a toll on your relationships, Cancer.  It is very important that you watch where you’re spending and making sure your partner knows about your spending.  If you are a single Cancer, expect to be picking up a financial mess or financial problems of some sort.

Leo – Queen of Pentacles – A business savvy woman may enter your life with a proposition.  It could be a new relationship; it could be a business proposition.  She may be an Earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn).  She is a lady you can trust and has a great hunch about things. 

Virgo – Temperance – Your patience is required this week, Virgo.  If you quit worrying about things, you will see that you had nothing to worry about all along.  You could also find yourself entering a new relationship or becoming partners with someone in business.

Libra – The Sun – A bright and shiny outlook is yours this week, Libra.  You are a social butterfly this week.  Expect making new friendships and finding new people to network with.  Happiness is yours J

Scorpio – Nine of Swords – Now is a time to take stock as in figuring out who is really your friend and who is just out there to hurt you.  Chances are, you already know who it is that you need to cut ties with.  This is not a time for signing contracts as there may be some consequences that will show up later.

Sagittarius – The Moon – You are highly intuitive this week.  Put this power to good use.  You may experience a little bit of sadness or “the blues” this week.  Be gentle with yourself and hang tough!   Also, be wary of those you trust.  Someone may deceive you and you might end up hurt.

Capricorn –Wheel of Fortune – This is your lucky week, Capricorn! The Wheel of Fortune promotes good luck and blessings.  You will be reaping what you sew this week.  Your karma will be rewarded.

Aquarius – Eight of Pentacles – You could find yourself learning something new this week.  If you are planning on attending school, expect to hear about financial issues this week.  It will work out in your favor.  This is also a good time to use your creativity for monetary gain.

Pisces – Five of Cups – Drastic changes to your relationships will happen this week.  You may find yourself cutting ties to people and cleansing your energy.  Remember Pisces, “sometimes things fall apart so other things can fall into place”.

My First Entry! The Fool meanings and impressions, What the heck Happened to Me?!

This is my first entry! YAY! I am glad to be back.  However, I am writing stuff that I wrote down in a notebook last year while I was on hiatus.  Before I go into what happened to me, let's start off with the Major Arcarna --- The Fool!  These are just some intuitive and actual meanings of the card.  By intuitive I mean what I see in the card that maybe other Tarot readers will not see/understand/or agree with.  Each tarot deck is different with different interpretations of each card.  You can read cards by just looking at the colors and symbols in the card.  I have also included some astrological associations, although those may or may not be accurate.  I don't think I can explain why I chose certain signs since I wrote this over a year ago.  I am hoping to do more cards along the way like this, along with free readings, free e-books, tarotscopes, book reviews, and of course take you along my metaphysical journey.  I will also include whether a card is a masculine or a feminine sign, and again, maybe most Tarot readers will or will not agree with my findings.  Are you ready? Ok...here we go :)

The Fool - New beginnings, infatuation, foolish decisions, animal lover, new pet(s), animal concerns, impulsiveness. Creative endeavors, new travels.  Taking things too fast. In over your head.  Take time out to think.  New crush.  Foolish business ventures.  Money in-money out.  Spending money on wants instead of needs.  Masculine.   Astrological associations: Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces. 

I think every tarot reader comes up with their own definitions of each card other than traditional meanings.  That's what we call using our intuition.  Any person can read tarot cards with little to no psychic ability because they all have traditional meanings which you can find in any book of tarot reading.  The reader makes the tarot card reading unique, that is how you are not getting a book reading.

Now as into what happened to me.  I had a mental breakdown.  I was fooling around with a certain metaphysical tool that I shouldn't have.  I also quit taking my depression medicine and was running on 3-4 hour sleep.  The funny thing is the letter I had written on my website was dated March 6, 2010.  I went into the hospital for psychological evaluation on March 10.  I don't think it was a coincidence or planned that I step down.  I must have somehow known I needed to break because I was taking the metaphysical world way too seriously.  Everyone around me was telling me, but I didn't listen.  Along the way, I broke ties to several people who I thought were friends.  And maybe they were, and maybe they weren't, but it had to be done.  Those who stood by me while I was rebuilding the old me, they know who they are.

I don't think I would be here today if it weren't for my current boyfriend Anthony.  He is a tarot card reader (though not professionally) and he got me back into wanting to read again and study tarot again.  I did miss tarot reading while I was rebuilding myself, but I wasn't sure if I would return.  Meeting Anthony was fate.  Before I dated him and met him, I was dreaming about getting my tarot cards back.  Fast forward to New Years Day, I go to the store where I purchased them and ask the lady if they had the "Tarot of a Moon Garden" tarot deck and they did...here's the funny part...they had ONE deck left!  I knew it was fate.  That night, I did 4 readings and found that I still got it.  The song "Now That You Got It" by Gwen Stefani was playing in my head in between readings.

Another funny "sign"...Google called me asking if I could take on more clients because they would like to feature me on their page of psychics.  But I turned it down because I am just now starting to get this ball rolling again and I need to ease into this.  I also thought I would have to pay and didn't believe it was a legit call from Google because I have never heard of these "pages" (and I'm pretty computer savvy).

And my last "sign", my go-to psychic told me I should be back and she was extremely happy that I was thinking about coming back.  She believed that I had a gift and needed to share it with the world.

So here we are...starting from scratch...I leave you with a song -- Jem "Only the Beginning" :)  And one thing you should know....I love this cartoon!  And I have a love of 80's cartoons.
