Month: February 2017

Ask yourself if your head and your heart are united.  If you have a decision to make now, tune in to your heart’s desire, but also pay attention to logic.  If you are acting out of love, you are on the right path.  Often in life we must make choices, and once we choose one path, another is sacrificed.  This card urges you to take responsibility and ownership for the choices you have made.  Celebrate the love you have in all its forms:  passion, friendship, caring, spiritual devotion and self-love.

Anything is possible today!  Open your mind.  Say, “Yes!”  You’re only limited by your own doubts and fears.  So, today shake away your worries and take a chance.  Here’s the caveat:  since this card is reversed, it’s indicating that you look at your relationships with limits.  On the one hand, you may be limiting yourself and your potential by never taking risks.  You may be making assumptions about every possible path before even trying it out.  You may think to yourself, “I already know what will happen if I do that, so why even try?”  Though there is value in past experience, be wary of being closed off to new experiences.  You may be pleasantly surprised.  On the other hand, this card may be urging you to act with more constraint.  It may be that you have forgotten everything you’ve learned in the past and are acting foolishly in a situation.  You may be so in love with adventure and newness that you are bypassing opportunities to commit and grow in any one area.  It is good to be curious and try new things, but there is also value in settling down and diving deeper into what you already have.

Today is a day of learning.  Ask yourself, “What one thing could I learn that would improve my life now?”  Once you’ve decided your subject, hit the books.  Go to the recognized experts and pay close attention to their words.  Once you’ve absorbed the traditional teachings on this subject, you can begin to innovate, but for now be a willing and cooperative student.  This card represents problems with traditions and societal norms.  You may be questioning or rebelling against some tradition or societal norm.  The way things are usually done may not be working for you.  You may notice that traditional practices are harmful or impractical, and may even participate in revolutionary action or protest.  You may be rebelling for the sake of rebelling.  A rebel without a cause.  Ask if your actions stem from your deepest desires, or if you are just doing the opposite of what’s expected of you.   You are perhaps being bothered by your conscience.  You may be confused about the right thing to do or say.  You may be riddled with guilt or regret.  You may be feeling weary from constantly living up to the expectations they seem to imposed upon you.  Perhaps you are being confronted by a teacher with questionable methods.  This teacher may use intimidation or shame as a teaching tactic.  The lessons being passed may be unethical or outdated.  This teacher may take advantage of their position of authority.  Lastly, this care may also represent divorce or leaving a religion.  Whatever your day is for you today, take note.
