You are full of energy and desire something new.  Shake up your routine today.  Do something different and fun!  Go outside, get some exercise, follow your whims and fancies.  Though you may not be creating long-lasting change now, a bit of disruption will benefit your creative spirit.  You’ll find you might need a lot of stimulation today, and you might be tempted to be rather adventurous and throw caution to the winds.  This is because you are also feeling youthful today … energetic and confident, but flitting from place to place because of a short attention span.  It’s because you are in the mode of actively seeking new challenges to encourage more self-growth.  Just don’t get too reckless or temperamental along the way.

Look at the big picture of your life.  Where are you at in your life now?  What are the big lessons you’ve been learning?  What are you grateful for?  What are you tired of?  By taking the time to check-in with yourself now, you can calm your mind and spirit.  When you are calm, your inner voice can be heard more clearly.  So, check-in, calm your spirit and notice the wise guidance of your soul.   This is a card of drastic change, release and review.  Your current phase of life is coming to an end.  Now it is time to look objectively at what has come before.  In which ways did you succeed?  Where did you fail?  What big lessons have you learnt?  Life cannot stay as it is.  Change is unavoidable.  You will benefit now by being accountable for your choices and behaviour.  Be honest with yourself.  Tune into your higher calling and learn where to go next.  Pay attention to the big ideas you have now.  They are not just impossible dreams!

Your greatest strength is in being vulnerable today.  Let your defenses down.  Stop hiding, especially from yourself.  With a sense of unconditional self-love and compassion towards your self, feel your feelings completely and honestly.  It is time to pull upon your deep inner strength.  It may be that you have pushed away your wild, animalistic desires and impulses for the sake of logic and spirituality.  Strength is urging you to work with that wild part of yourself.  Find a balance between your basic drives and higher aspirations. You may be surprised to find that getting into your body, whether through exercise, feasting, or sex, actually opens up new spiritual doorways for you and increases your personal power.  If there is conflict in your situation, Strength may be advising you to face your adversary with love and compassion.  Don’t worry:  you’re not giving up, only taming the beast.

Spend some time thinking about your financial situation.  You have a good practical energy around you that is great for organizing your finances and making money decisions.  Be sure to use some of that energy to notice and appreciate your many blessings as well.

Something new wants to emerge in your life, but for that to happen you must first release that which has run its course.  Today, take time to seek closure — say goodbye to a relationship, habit, or attitude that no longer serves you.  Though this ending may be painful, know that this is a necessary and valuable step in your personal evolution.  This is the ending that occurs before utter transformation.  It is like a caterpillar in a cocoon, on the verge of becoming a butterfly.  Get rid of what is no longer useful.  Seek closure before moving on.  You may be about to end a job, move house, or end a relationship.  This may not be an easy change, but it is necessary for your maturation and well-being.  Only when you free up stagnant energy will new thins come to you.  If you are going through a time of painful loss, find solace in knowing that you will look back at that time as the beginning of a new chapter in your life.  Let go and trust in the universe.

If you’re feeling limited or victimized today, examine the stories you tell yourself.  It’s likely that you’ll discover that it’s your own inner critic, or wounded inner child, that is stopping you from moving forward more than any external force.  You are imprisoned by your own thinking more than anything.  You hold the key to your own progress.  Stop feeling trapped or limited.  Stop thinking you’ve got no viable options available, even though you may feel weakened by the circumstances in your life, or by others’ opinions of you.  Ask yourself what you get out of remaining “stuck”, and what you can gain if you were to move forward.  How you use your mind is your choice:  you can use your thoughts to keep you trapped, or you can use them to cut through limitations.

The Magician is a powerful sign of The Fool’s higher aspects of his/her journey as a reminder that all is within your grasp, if only you set your mind to it and try.  Have you noticed a lot of synchronicities occurring around you now?  Kā mea nāna ī hana … you create all that your heart looks-to.  At work, new opportunities for better work opportunities are on the rise in the form of a new position.  Your creativity and suggestions are being met with excellent comprehension and this vibe leads to bigger and better work opportunities.  New love interests are also surfacing so get out there and meet people.  If you’re in a long-term relationship, you and your partner are bonding more closely on a deeper, spiritual level.  Money is on an upswing and this trend coincides with what is happening at work.  Even if things don’t feel like they’re opening up at work, there are now opportunities to do side jobs that bring in more income.  The Magician also signifies strength in the body, so if your health has taken a dip, know that you are snapping out of it soon … particularly if you’ve decided to pursue an alternative form of therapy.  And, speaking of alternatives, your research into more spiritual matters is paying off in revealing new levels of knowledge and understanding … a most satisfying time to enjoy this expansion of your spirit now.

Look for inspiration everywhere today!  Be ready to write down notes so you don’t forget the ideas that pop into your head.  Even if something seems “impossible” or “way too big,” write it down.  You never know!  Look for a new opportunity.  The Ace of Wands is a seed to be nurtured.  This is a new bright idea, a burst of creative energy, a source of inspiration.  Excitement, enthusiasm and energy for something new are available.  Now is your chance to be courageous.  This is also about creating a new life, conception or birth, metaphorically and literally.  Look for opportunities to be creative and express your enthusiasm … but for these energies to work, you must act by reaching and grasping for them in order for these new opportunities to come to fruition.

Today is a day of dreaming of possibilities and choices.  Imagine if there were no limitations to stop you.  Dream big!  There’s no need to be realistic or practical.  Exercise your imagination.  Every amazing thing you’ve created began as a dream.  You have so many choices available to you that indecision will prevent you from choosing anything.  It could also mean that you have your head in the clouds.  Dreaming of all that could be is keeping you from focusing on the here and now and making any progress.  If you have a lot of structure and stagnation in your life, this sign indicates the need to shake things up in order to recognize alternative paths you could take.  This sign also represents altered states of consciousness, dreaming and visualization.  It is good to dream and experiment, but beware of your experiments and fantasies standing in the way of healthy development.

 

You are putting off making a decision for now.  You may be feeling ambivalence or uncertainty.  You may not want to offend or hurt someone involved.  You may need to withdraw in order to contemplate your options.  So, do think before you communicate today.  It’s likely that you’ll decide to say nothing at all, or hold off on making a decision until another day.  That’s actually a good thing.  Give yourself the space and time you need to think things through clearly.  Perhaps more research on the subject matter is required before you can make an informed decision.  You may be denying the truth, or compartmentalizing some aspect of your life in order to not have to deal with it.  While it may be true that ignorance is bliss, ignorance or denial can also cause you to remain stuck in circular thinking and emotional patterns.  If so, then researching your options at this juncture works out all the better as it carries you further towards making a rational decision.

Today is a day to nourish and nurture your Self.  Spending time in or near water will be especially soothing, so go to the beach or have a long bath … solitude is required to restore your self.  By caring for yourself now, you will build the strength to be there for others when they need you.  Don’t underestimate the importance of self-care.  Be that loving mother to yourself.

 

Celebrate today with dear friends.  Whether the blessings in your life are big or small, when you take time to show your appreciation, the joy in your community multiplies and keeps on flowing.  Rejoice in your friendships!  You have friends who truly care about and support you.  This could be a sign that a new relationship will grow into a real friendship.  You may be invited to a party that you will definitely enjoy.  You are also advised to call up that dear friend that you haven’t spoken to in a while and set up a coffee date or a night out.  It could be that it’s time for some sort of celebratory accomplishment.  You deserve to have more fun!  And speaking of relationships, you just might be the recipient of a bit of mutual attraction and affection … and for some, this sign could even indicate an engagement or wedding.  Bottom line:  positive growth sprouts forth from the emotional union of two or more people.

We are back on the road of our new adventure!  Remember we began it a few days ago … so here we are, back onto this new Path.  Just breathe in the Gratitude that you’ve accomplished and experienced all you have gone through in 2016 and Appreciate the opportunities that now present themselves to you.  Stay open minded, positive, upbeat and travel with a smile in your heart and you are sure to encounter opportunities that will encourage Growth and bring in more Abundance into your life.

 

You are magical today!  You can take a thought and transform it into something real.  Today, set an intention and follow-through with action.  Dream it.  Create it.  You can do it!  You have the potential to make things happen.  The key to taking control of your life is to have a vision and then take action to make it happen.  Intention and action are both required.  When your intentions and actions are aligned, real magic happens!  Start gathering the resources you need to meet your goals.  The universe is empowering you to manifest your vision.  Take advantage of this opportunity by staying focused on your goals and applying your power.

 

Today is a day for feeling good and you are bursting with energy and vitality.  If you were asking a question, the answer is a “YES!”  When this card shows itself, it is time to reveal everything.  You will benefit by sharing your true feelings and thoughts.  You will have greater clarity and understanding.  It is a time to celebrate your accomplishments and share them with the world.  Don’t be afraid to shine.  Let your inner child show.  Be playful, creative and curious.  Align your actions and words with your authentic self.  Do what makes you feel excited and warm inside.

 

It’s time to celebrate your accomplishments.  You’ve had success in your journey.  Take time to honor your hard work.  Today is a day for gratitude and celebration.  You are beginning to see the fruits of your labors.  Enjoy them!  Remember, you didn’t get to where you are all alone, so show your appreciation.  This card marks completion of some stage.  It could be a birthday, a wedding, a successful school exam, an anniversary, graduation, or the purchase of a new home.  Whatever has been completed, now is a time to look back on your accomplishment and take stock.  Give thanks to those people and for those things that have helped you get to where you are.  It’s also a time to look forward.  What has brought you this far?  What new things would you like to manifest as you move into the future?  The castle in the center of this card reflects your home environment.  Take this opportunity to reflect on what in your home enabled you to get to where you are now.  Give gratitude.  Think of ways to bring more of that supportive feeling in.  Notice the things in your environment that don’t contribute to the future vision you have for your life.  You now have the right attitude for making positive changes to your environment.  Lastly, you might need to mark a life transition with ceremony or ritual, even something small or private.  Bottom line:  celebrate yourself!

It’s time for a new adventure! Anything is possible today!  Open your mind and say, “Yes!”  You’re only limited by your own doubts and fears.  So, today shake away your worries and take a chance.  Don’t make all the decisions about your path, or make assumptions about how it’ll be before you embark.  Stay open to surprises and unexpected opportunities.  Anything could happen if you leave room for possibilities.  Trust in the universe to keep you safe, then take the leap into the unknown!

Trust your inner wisdom.  Spend time in solitude and silence.  Pay attention to your dreams.  Trust your intuition.  Notice synchronicity as you go through your days.  Look for the answers you seek within yourself.  Practice spending time in meditation so that you can hear your inner voice and tune in to your own rhythms.

A decision has been made and you’re taking your first optimistic steps towards your goals.  You have set things in motion and there is no turning back now.  You know what you need to do and you have the confidence to do it.  You have the ability to lead and a vision that can inspire.  Forgiveness of others or yourself may be required in order to let go of the past.  With the bright future ahead of you, it is an ideal time to let go of past hurts.  You might also be traveling abroad.  Coming together with others and negotiating or trading could also be implied, and these energies suggest equality and cooperation in such endeavors.  Ultimately, growth is certain.

You are being plagued by worry, anxiety and fear.  Having trouble sleeping, or having nightmares?  That’s because of all those thoughts racing through your mind.  Sometimes when we don’t deal with a situation in the light of day, it haunts us by night.  Worrying is pointless unless it drives us to do something about the troublesome situation.  Start confronting your worries and fears.  Start taking steps to solve your problems.  Talk to someone about what’s on your mind.  Write in a journal whatever it is that is bothering you.  When you see the words, you can face the problem.  Start taking better care of your health.  Don’t just sit there:  go to it!

 

Look for inspiration everywhere today!  Be ready to write down notes so you don’t forget the ideas that pop into your head.  Even if something seems “impossible” or “way too big”, write it down.  You never know!  Look for a new opportunity today.  This Ace is a seed to be nurtured.  This is a bright idea, a burst of creative energy, a source of inspiration.  Excitement, enthusiasm and energy for something new are available in this moment.  Now is your chance to be courageous.  This is a new opportunity that must be grasped in order to come to fruition.

 

You are invigorated with the energies of a youthful, dependable and practical person.  You feel like a student willing to work hard to gain new knowledge and skills.  If there’s something you’ve been wanting to learn, today is a good day to start.  The best learning for you now is hands-on, so sign up for a class that involves creating something, or read a book that includes activities and exercises for you to do.  Also, pay attention to your body, the earth and nature.  There could be a message in the physical world for you … and you will enjoy it!

 

You are in the process of withdrawing from an emotional situation … still riding out the wake of yesterday’s energies as the Hanged Man.  Your present emotional state could be a voluntary withdrawal, like taking time out to contemplate and meditate on your emotions, or an involuntary withdrawal, such as finding yourself tired of a situation and lacking the emotional resources to proceed.  Today might be one of those days where nothing interests you.  It’s not that you’re sad; it’s more that you are not feeling much of anything.   Remember that the answers and inspiration you need to go on are available to you.  Take this opportunity to notice what it feels like to just be.  You may want to return to this emotionally stable feeling in the future.  Be sure that you do not become so absorbed in apathy that you do not see the emotional opportunities available to you.  Pay close attention to your dreams and the subtle signs around you … BUT, do not get stuck.  The point of today is seeking inspiration … the Light … to move forward tomorrow.

You may feel frustrated that things aren’t moving as quickly as you’d like today.  Be patient; stop trying to force things to happen.  Take this time of waiting as an opportunity to practice being present with yourself.  You may find that when you let go of your expectations that things turn out differently, and even better, than you’d hoped.  Today is a time for patience, contemplation and sacrifice.  The greatest benefit will be had when you are able to let go.  Don’t try to control the present situation.  Try to make peace with uncertainty.  Take time to observe your environment and situation from a new perspective.  Review what has come before.  Notice the blessings that came out of hardship.  It is a good time to look at past readings and journal writings in the new light of the present.  A sacrifice may be required now in order to move forward.  Now is the time to get in touch with the spiritual aspects of yourself.

 

Today, make a to-do list and get to it.  No excuses.  No distractions.  You can get a lot of meaningful work done today, but only if you take responsibility for yourself.  It’s time to think logically and rationally about your situation.  Rules, stability and structure are central to the current situation.  If you have a position of leadership, use your intellect to make the best decisions for your team.  This is a sign to increase the stability in your life.  There may be a need for you to set limits on your own behavior in order to achieve your goals.  Your father or a father figure may be relevant to the situation at hand.  Think about what fatherhood and masculinity mean to you.

 

It is time to create!  Your environment offers you the abundance you need to feel nurtured and comfortable so that you can manifest your vision in the world.  Inspiration is all around you.  Be sure to nourish yourself with whole foods.  Indulge all of your senses.  Connect with nature by working in a garden or deeply inhaling the scent of trees and flowers.  Connecting with creative, empowered people will enhance your creative spirit.  Today is about nurturing your creativity.  Do something that you love to do:  make art, cook a meal, beautify your home, spend time with your children, work in your garden.  Wherever you focus your loving attention today there will be healthy growth tomorrow.

 

You have reached a point where you feel secure with your resources, but you don’t want to chance anything.  Be cautious about your health and finances.  Remember how important your well being and long-term goals are to you.  Even if you’ve slipped into some unhealthy habit or frivolous spending lately, you’ve still made some amazing progress and built a solid foundation for success.  Today is a great day to get back on track.  Matters of security and control are paramount.

 

This is a card of drastic change, release and review.  Your current phase of life is coming to an end.  Now is the time to look objectively at what has come before.  Look at the big picture of your life.  Where are you at in your life now?  What are the big lessons you’ve been learning?  What are you grateful for?  What are you tired of? In which ways did you succeed?  Where did you fail?  By taking time to check-in with yourself now, you can calm your mind and spirit.  Life cannot stay as it is.  When you are calm, your inner voice can be heard more clearly.  Change is unavoidable.  You will benefit now by being accountable for your choices and behavior.  Be honest with yourself.  So check-in, calm your spirit and notice the wise guidance of your soul.  Pay attention to the big ideas you now have.  They are not just impossible dreams!

Are you being plagued by worry, anxiety and fear?  You may be having nightmares or trouble sleeping because of all the thoughts racing through your mind.  You may be feeling ill and worried about your health.  Sometimes, when we don’t deal with a situation in the light of day, it haunts us by night.  Worrying is pointless unless it drives us to do something about the troublesome situation.  Start confronting your worries and fears.  Start taking steps to solve your problems.  Talk to someone about what’s on your mind.  Write in a journal.  Start taking better care of your health.  DO something!  You are near the end of a your mental ordeal, if you begin facing it.  If you continue to ignore your doubts and fears, they will continue to haunt you.

 

Today is a day for learning.  It’s time to examine your beliefs.  Ask yourself, “what one thing could I learn that would improve my life now?”  Once you’ve decided on 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.  You may have an opportunity to teach someone something about life.  Will your teachings be flexible so that your student can integrate them into their own life, or are your beliefs rigid and dogmatic?  Who or what has been your teacher?  Do the lessons you’ve learned serve you well now, or is it time to seek a new teacher?  Are you making a decision based on what you believe you “should” do, or are you tuned into your higher calling?

 

Let kindness be your guiding word for today.  When you let your happiness flow through gentle, friendly interactions with others, it multiplies in the world, and will keep coming back to you.  So reach out to someone from your heart today.  Even the smallest gesture of kindness could make a big difference to them.  Be thankful for small gestures of kindness, and find ways that you can brighten the day of another.  If you are having difficulty in some area of your life, tune into your inner child — that gentle, innocent and wise part of yourself that has always been with you — for guidance.  What lesson from the past is relevant to you now?  It may also be that someone or something from your past will be useful to you now.  Think back to your past experiences for guidance.

Be gentle with yourself today and be sure to set aside some time for daydreaming.  It’s okay to say “no” to invitations, or to leave an unpleasant or uncomfortable situation.  Having good emotional boundaries is essential to restoring your energy on days like today.  Pay attention to any messages perceived from your dreams or love letters!

You are putting off making a decision for now.  You may be feeling ambivalent or uncertain.  You may not want to offend or hurt someone involved.  This card indicates the need for withdrawal in order to contemplate options.  Be rational in making a decision.  You need to know more facts before you can make an informed decision.  You are ignoring your emotions, using logic to deny how you’re feeling.  You may be denying the truth, or compartmentalizing some aspect of your life in order to not have to deal with it.  While it may be true that ignorance is bliss, ignorance or denial can also cause you to remain stuck in circular thinking and emotional patterns.  Think before you communicate today.

Let your fears and insecurities be a catalyst for change.  If you’ve been feeling incompetent in your work, think about what skills or new work habits will help you feel more confident.  If you’ve been ill, take a look at your lifestyle and make some practical plans for healthy changes.  Though it may not feel good, your fear is a valuable tool showing where you need to make changes.
