The Tarot School has a Birth Card Calculator where you can enter your birth date to determine your Tarot Birth Cards.

Having fun calculating your Birth Cards yourself:

Or, have fun adding your birth month + birthday + birth year until they reduce to a number that is 21 or less (21 Major Arcana cards + the 22nd as The Fool not included)
Example: December 4, 1967 = 12 + 4 + 1967 = Add 12 and 4 to equal 16, and then add 16 to 1967 = 1983. Then make 1983 = 1 + 9 + 8 + 3 = 21. 21 is XXI The World card.  And, then 21 = 2 + 1 = 3 which equals III The Empress.  So, the Birth Cards for this date are World ~ Empress.
 

Alternately,

12 + 4 = 16 and 16 = 1 + 6 = 7, and 1967 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 7 =23, and 2 + 3 = 5 added back to the 7 .from 16… 5 + 7 = 12 = XII The Hanged Man, so the Birth Cards = Hanged Man ~ Empress.
Note: XXI or 21 The World. 2 + 1 = 3.  XII or 12 The Hanged Man. 1 + 2 = 3.  And, III or 3 The Empress = 3.
World ~ Empress Birth Card combo.  Hanged Man ~ Empress Birth Card combo

Weekly Mystereum TarotScopes for August 4th to August 10th

Featured video to enhance your Tarot voice and story experience.

Mystereum TarotScope Allies for Your August 3rd to 10th, 2013 Week

Leo: July 23 to August 22 ~ 2 of Swords

decision time, balanced opposites in ideas, upcoming decisions, mirrored thoughts, focusing to think and see in a new way

decision time, balanced opposites in ideas, upcoming decisions, mirrored thoughts, focusing to think and see in a new way

Leo, This week is about finding your center to see familiar things differently and make critical decisions even when the skies of your world are stormy. Like the golden pillar seen differently, seen as actually being blue when it is the object of your focus, cut in to your own thinking to dance differently with your ideas and thoughts. This week is about seeing familiar things differently so that the blind spots of your expectations move away like the mirages they are so that, seeing familiar things differently, you can make crucial decisions at speed from within the fray that stick.

Virgo: August 23 to September 22 ~ II The High Priestess

techne, making, putting together fully, giving form to the formless, Inner Guardian

techne, making, putting together fully, giving form to the formless, Inner Guardian

Virgo, It is all about giving form to the formless for you this week. What idea or project or endeavoUr have you had on the back burner that you can bring more into focus and make real? This week is your week to bring another force of your work into the forces you already have marshalled. Feel your work or your endeavoUrs as fields of forces and allow the formerly back-burnered component to resonate the ripples of its influence into your current works. Its full influence may not be felt for several weeks, though bringing it to the fore across this week will serve to enliven your mix this week in powerful Priestess ways by opening you up to give form to something that has been patiently waiting around in relative formlessness. It may be as simple as letting the underdog project hop on base and hit a home run. Knock it out of the park a couple of times this week with this newcomer to your mix to both bring forth and express its brilliance and as well give a well-deserved rest to your current primary endaevoUrs.

Libra: September 23 to October 22 ~ Knight of Wands

unfamiliar energies in action, awakening, incorporating energies on the move

unfamiliar energies in action, awakening, incorporating energies on the move

Libra, This week is like the cracked house on the card. Maybe your house is feeling a bit cracked. It is suggested, though not to view this cracking as hard to mend damage. View this cracking as an awakening crack-hatching into your life to re-invigorate your sense of home anew. Like a Knight, incorporate your newly awakened or discovered energies on the move. This could indicate a move, and just as much may indicate a re-homing, reinvigorating your current home in place without moving to another place at all. Allow this Knight of Wands to inform you by incorporating your energies on the move at speed rather than tossing the baby out with the bath water so to speak. Visualize a new fave flower bursting forth in your favorite place in your garden. Be that new flower this week with the busy bees around you expanding your reach with this fresh, new sense of home.

Scorpio: October 23 to November 21 ~ 5 of Swords

missing middles, lost grasp, careful reassessments, subtle movements

missing middles, lost grasp, careful reassessments, subtle movements

Scorpio, This week look for missing middles. Look for the missing middles of things you used to have a solid grasp on yet now are assuming you do.  Take stock to re-tie the shoes of your efforts so you don;t get tripped up by all the chaos in your mix this week. It is suggested to pay serious attention to the air traffic control of how you direct the communications around you while piloting from a centered place. Pilot from the emptiness, from the eye of the storm of missing middles.  Odds are that rather than berating yourself for losing your grasp of some things in your mix you will have more success this week by operating IN the storm though from places of little or no resistance.  Find your own eye in the storm this week and do your thinking from there. Odds are you will see the chaos as weather simply washing through. When it’s stormy this week, share an umbrella. When it’s sunny, invite a friend. The things that are missing in your life have a great and specific place in your life this week. Mind that the place they need to live may be subtle and appear in an empty place. Explore your own emptiness in that place this week. Call this week your echo chamber sandbox. Great things can come from hearing just how it is your ideas really come across.

Sagittarius: November 22 to December 21 ~ 3 of Swords

mental refraction, distorted thoughts, taking care with yourself by moving slowly

mental refraction, distorted thoughts, taking care with yourself by moving slowly

Sagittarius, This week is a grand time to find just that glass hook of what really irritates you. Once you discover what it is, simply pull it out and toss it without care or explanation.  Don;t reason with your irritants this week as you will only rehydrate them to inflame you further. Notice things that just a bit off like seeing a bent twig in water. As you know, it is not really bent.  The water simply refracts what you see. Visualize the water with this twig as your mental state and the bent twig as that thing that really gets your goat. Slowly withdraw the bent twig from the water, notice the twig for what it is, and with a big exhale, forget it and toss it. Forgetting is for getting this week as it will make more room for the good stuff. You need to find that thing that irritates you first.  Once you do find this irritant, though, take care to remove it slowly so it doesn’t further interact with the things around it. Exhale. And, forgetting it, toss it. It may sound like a teeny gig to occupy a whole week, though you will thank yourself in the coming weeks if you do. It is a lot like an arrow being shot from a long distance that is off 1/10th of a degree. At a short distance the arrow might still hit the bullseye.  At longer distances, though, it will come nowhere even near the target. Mind that 1/10 of a degree as a requirement for the aims you have set in your goals.  Re-calibrating your aim by finding and removing this irritant this week, will make for more dead-on accuracy in the coming weeks. It as well may be as simple as making sure your work space is pristine clean so minor distractions aren’t always catching your eye when you are in the heat of ficus.

Capricorn: December 22 to January 19 ~ I The Magician

first-sparks, intense focus, inception, creation

first-sparks, intense focus, inception, creation

Capricorn, This week is about gigging your groove with some new sparks, some new flashes of insight as to what is really precluding your magic.  You may need a welder’s helmet of sorts this week, or you may need to see you own shooting stars within you. Visualize the night sky as a big bowl upside down that stays full, as a Black Crucible of the Magician. Where are the shooting stars you see in your sky? Near a planet? Near a certain constellation. Magically steal the night sky’s free influence and apply that planet and/or planets and/or constellation and/or constellation’s influence or influences.  Entertain how the stories behind these celestial, night sky gigs can inform your work.  You may not be at as much of an impasse as you feel.  You may still have a hard time asking people for help or assistance in regards to your situation, though the sky certainly won’t refuse you or make mention of the fact that you looked to it for an guidance overlay to unstick and inform and more actively activate your current situation so that you can affect more solid engagement with the things you are doing or trying to do.  Ask the sky around a shooting star for help this week by simply noting where IT shot right through. This week the story of your night sky is ripe to be vibrantly mixed into your daily activities. 

Aquarius: January 20 to February 18 ~ 8 of Swords

note the Shadow Hand, noticing and releasing false beliefs, expectations as chaff from wheat cascading away

note the Shadow Hand, noticing and releasing false beliefs, expectations as chaff from wheat cascading away

Aquarius, This week look for the elephant in your room.  Odds are you are on a mental plateau of sorts, and your ability to see things more clearly for what they are is enhanced. See past things as they are, though, to become aware of something in your scene that is almost so big and so there that you are missing it like the dark lavender Shadow Hand in the 8 of Swords card image above.  Things you expect may be clouding your vision. Take the time this week to feel into places where you are mentally wandering as if you are on an Inner Plateau. Use your so-big-and-so-there findings to reset your scene accordingly to more fully incorporate them. This week the elephant in your room may be in need of some peanuts, so, if you take care to find it, you can include it as an engaged ally where it takes care of your thinking at larger scales. Finding this elephant in your room may transfer some of the load of things weighing you down. Discover your Inner Pachyderm this week, and use it as an ally to carry the extra weight so you are freed up to move with more effortlessness. You may find that in doing so, delegating the heavy tasks to aspects of yourself that are more fitting to carry them, the seemingly unending mental plateau you are on may transform into an expansive place of self-discovery where you can shake your Inner Booty more freely.

Pisces: February 19 to March 20 ~ 8 of Cups

inner motions, settled, full, head coming out of the clouds

inner motions, settled, full, head coming out of the clouds

Pisces, This week you have come heads and shoulders out of the mental clouds that have seemed to haunt you from your past.  You made it!  Odds are you probably already know this, though this week take moving forward without being stifled by those things a step further. The smoke and clouds in your mind are clearing wonderfully to reveal the lush and green and fertile new person that is you. It feels that you have many fulfilling things right in front of you that are all varied and all becoming familiar as to the wondrous multitude of things you have brought into your life and that have arrived in your life from staying your course fully.  Notice the variety of things you find satisfying this week. Are they all over the place though not in the least bit chaotic?  Enjoy your happy variety this week. It’s not that you deserve them.  It goes way beyond that as you know.  Fulfillment is at hand across the board.  Visualize this week as a gourmet, multi-course tasting. You just may find this week that you begin to make pairings and put things together in altogether new mixes of ways.

Aries: March 21 to April 19 ~ XVIII The Moon

vision, genius, poetry, madness, inspiring light from unseen sources

vision, genius, poetry, madness, inspiring light from unseen sources

Aries, What a stunning and stellar week you have!  Inspiring light from unseen sources may shine to bend from over your horizon and highlight the fullness of You and all you have been doing.  Much like some talent scout who by serendipity is having dinner at a place at the same time you are gigging as a musician there. Imagine that the scout almost forgets to eat as they just soak up your resonance and probably then come to from their knocked-unconscious enjoyment of your music and story to start tap tap tapping making several key calls. They may leave without saying anything as they build a surprise for you at an upcoming gig. They may rush your stage, without tackling you of course… one would hope.  This week, though, simply keep being your charming and mesmerizing self and bathe in the amplified light that shines on you. Mark this week in your calendar to come back to soon and later.  Great things are coming full term for you with the work you love to do.  Shine fully this week with your natural glow.  This week you may experience a heightening of your reach like an amplifier upping the ante of an acoustic guitar..

Taurus: April 20 to May 20 ~ Knight of Pentacles

consistent, steady, and diligent while incorporating things on the move

consistent, steady, and diligent while incorporating things on the move

Taurus, You’ve come a long way utilizing the same vehicles for quite a while now. Like horse-riding through a tight mountain pass where you step off the horse and lead you both through the pass single file, you may need to step your efforts down a notch. This is not to indicate to turn down your intensity. This week dial yourself into a new and slower pace where you and what you are riding so to speak are more evidently a well-oiled team working a slower and more intensely aware pace rather than working so directly as one. Move to divide and conquer from within this week.  This week you have intense allies that you can put to use in different ways than you have put them to use before.  Use the time this week to undo struggle by responding to the evident conditions around you more according to their limitations. Take it upon yourself this week to see the power of limits.  See how the power of limits serve to more clearly express the defining aspects of the identity of each thing you are working with and how they best negotiate the terrain of your path.  Call it rearranging the cowboy. Step off and give your horse a walking rest so to speak so you both can move more freely and respond more effectively wise in time in the moment across the week.

Gemini: May 21 – June 20 ~ 8 of Wands

up in the air in a positive way like moonbeams, energy across a plateau like field sports

up in the air in a positive way like moonbeams, energy across a plateau like field sports

Gemini, Be patient this week and enjoy all the new energies cascading around you like moonbeams that are always up in the air in a positive way.  Some things may in fact be up in the air this week, though it’s not a week to reach and grope and tug and grab to pull them down.  You may feel like you don;t have any control this week. So be it. Treat yourself to a week that plays out like a movie, and all you need to do is be very present and sit back and enjoy. Don;t go all oompaloompa amoeba lazy in a lack of form and relax out of the scene. Visualize how you watch movies, and treat yourself to your own fave seat in the theatre of your week. You’re a Gemini, which may safely say you have pretty much zero issues with communication.  Use that ability from an engaging in experiencing perspective this week rather than being up on stage.  Don’t hang back.  Simply settle into your groove, and enjoy the ride of a week as a movie. Of course you may have to reach out and touch it here and there to keep it to your standards. 😉

Cancer: June 21 – July 22 ~ 9 of Cups

spirit, blossoms, blooms, dynamic or intense fulfillment

spirit, blossoms, blooms, dynamic or intense fulfillment

Cancer, This week is all about partying like it’s 1999 with things that bring you joy. There is a dynamism present that pretty much may make you feel even more larger than life than normal.  Work it. Own it. This is really your week. You understand full well how the pace needs some solid sprints to juice it up every once in a while and this is your week to turn up the volume on your projects and personal life. When people say, “Everything in moderation”, it is not wholly a statement of prudence and being abstemious. Everything in moderation… that also includes moderation. I’m not indicating to flame out and slam into the wall in a ball of over-doing it fire. Simply step it up to unyoke and step on it this week. This week is all about using the solid momentum you’ve established and further launching out fro there as now there is less resistance to your expanding role. Visualize a booster rocket on the space shuttle that gets the heavy weight up into space and is then left behind so the space shuttle can step on it with less resistance and inertia as it is already traveling thousands of miles an hour. This week is all about discerning the next stage of various things in your life. Look for those aspects in your life this week that can now be amped up to launch forward further.  This is a week that is about putting your A-team driver in the seat, You.  The other drivers of your how-you-got-to-this-wonderfully-warmed-up-and-ready-to-go place have warmed up the vehicles supporting your efforts so you can now perform at the highest echelons of your limits with little to no resistance.  Do please mind the wall, though.  No-one warmed them up, so if you get all hootin’ n hollerin’ at your top speeds, odds are you will meet them head on.  Stay on the track this week though with a more intense focus that directly amplifies your ability to truly perform without holding back. Ayrton Senna comes to mind for you this week.  Be the One With The Gold Helmet this week. And, as I mentioned, stay on the track and don’t meet the wall head on. Walls have a tendency to do very heartbreaking things to the steering column. Keep it on the track this week, though go for some rockin’ performances.

Best to your Mystereum TarotScope enhancing your week!  Till next time.

Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today… ’cause the past was once the future, and today will be too!

And, even in a card with no people, there is always one… You looking in through the card portal.

TarotBlogHop ~ Lammas ~ Tender’s Wisdom

PREVIOUS BLOG  |  MASTER LIST  |  NEXT BLOG 

The previous stop on this Lammas BlogHop adventure is Stella T’arot’s US Games’ blog

The next stop on this Lammas BlogHop adventure is Joanna Ash’s bright SunGoddess Tarot blog.

Welcome to the Lammas TarotBlogHop

… where we have this great group of TarotBlogHoppers working, playing, interpreting, and / or dancing the the topic of Tarot coupled with the question, “What can I share from my table to enrich my community?”

First Off, One Expression of Lammas is…

The remembrance of place in the protection of the barn as a symbol of abundant storage with a sacred loaf baked with care and attention from the first harvest, and broken into four with each quarter gifted to each of the barn’s four corners. I tend to play with shapes, so I might need to do that, though sneak-bake another loaf or two to sacredly quarter and gift to the additional corners… Please don’t think Zodiac Barn.  ;-)…. errr, and so I don’t allegedly modernize your Lammas rituals or skew the good history of Lammas… well, not right off the bat at least…

Here’s a Bit Of General Lammas info for You from Wikipedia: (that I will so graciously edit in blue in parentheses in context as making bread is a process and needs to be minded.  And, though I feel the patient awareness of kneading the dough is wonderful now, it also gives me a chuckle to think back to my Dad’s “breadmaking” when I was young and bring it into now… as I tend to edit the cookbook of life so to speak with how I work though the DAYum discipline of the ritual is fortunately ALWAYS there… where the warm-up is absolutely necessary and as well not part of the baked golden performance of bread when the curtain of the oven opens.  [paragraph] Heck, in my book nothing is sacred that you can’t laugh with.  There may be Silence in ritual, though ritual is no shhhhh of a library in my house… uh hem… delegating the kneading of the 1st batch of bread to the kiddo. SOMEbody other than me was certainly laughing.  Back then the task was SO lost on me… though I certainly had no idle hands. Thankful for that now, the kneading, the incessant kneading which seemed to outlast Sisyphus though somehow served to burn out incessant needing.  All alone in the kitchen kneading that first batch my mind would wander while remaining in an intensely focused kneading autopilot.  Not too fast.  Not too slow.  And, we always kneaded together on the second and third batches. On Holidays my Dad made about 25 loaves.  Rockin’ Moroccan Anise Bread!  Hearty and tasty stuff!  I guess the real selflessness was that ANY of it actually left the house.  Though, he would drive around with 8 or so loaves each afternoon making rounds over several days with each fresh batch. He would make rounds and socialize gifting fresh, rockin’ Moroccan Anise bread.  It’s like the bread went to the four corners of the city… and also to a farm or two beyond the city limits.)

“In some English-speaking countries in the Northern Hemisphere, August 1 is Lammas Day (Anglo-Saxon hlaf-mas, “loaf-mass”), the festival of the wheat harvest, and is the first harvest festival of the year. On this day it was customary to bring to church (I’ll substitute “sacred place of gathering”) a loaf made from the new crop, (remove comma and keep kneading) which began to be harvested at Lammastide. The loaf was blessed, and in Anglo-Saxon England it might be employed afterwards to work magic. (Uhh, awkward transition that at first begs for a new paragraph and then… “Keep kneading kid, it’s good for you. Oh, and think about magic and discipline while you are kneading the dough, and how you can best switch gears and extend your thought with paragraphs to enhance their flow.  But, mostly only think about kneading the dough. If you stop, it won’t rise right.  We’ll be back shortly and we’ll check your progress. Gotta go out and get some more yeast. You washed your hands, right?”  Hmmm, I always wondered why they didn’t fully prepare with enough ingredients beforehand?  I smile now at their date-afternoon yeast errands.) A book of Anglo-Saxon charms directed that the lammas bread be broken into four bits, (remove comma… dang my hands are getting tired. WHEN are they going to be back??!)) which were to be placed at the four corners of the barn, (comma, kneading kneading. What do I do when my nose itches?) to protect the garnered grain. (uhhh, left field grinding gears.  Use the clutch next time.  Don’t knead too fast.) In many parts of England, (no comma after prepositional phrase required. I hope they get back soon as I’ll develop Superman grip if I do this much longer. OH, STRONG HANDS!!!, I am making BREAD OF THE GODS!… uh hem… they’re not back yet.  Focus.  Knead.  Keep kneading) tenants were bound to present freshly harvested wheat to their landlords on or before the first day of August. In the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, where it is referred to regularly, it is called “the feast of first fruits”. The blessing of first fruits was performed annually in both the Eastern and Western Churches on the first or the sixth of August.”

Welcome now as the chaff of the warm-up and kneading comes off from the wheat of the process in the wind.

Welcome now as the Lammas kneading warm-up leaves, leaves toward loaves, where the warm-up is not part of the performance, and where warm and fresh is just amazing.

Welcome.

Let’s break some sacred bread together for the corners,

each friend themself a corner.

Welcome

to my iteration of the TarotBlogHop Lammas theme:

Our theme is: ~ “What can I share from my table to enrich my community?” ~

I Offer from My Table

I offer a poem from The Hierophant in Tarot in the Land of Mystereum (Schiffer, 2010) as the eye of a storm and center of the 5’s to express the natural and developed tool on my table that is my anti-hysterical bias, the beautiful curse born of grace under pressure kneaded and risen and baked into my soul from way too many deadlines over decades.  Heck, a bomb might go off and amidst the chaos, and I’ll most probably respond with, “DANG! I forgot my lunch today.”, and then calmly and directly address air traffic control from the eye of the storm as I pilot amidst the chaos to another completion… pilot knowing that the center doesn’t actually always occur in the middle.

I Offer from my table a poem I wrote this year for Lammas

As I thought about the Hierophant as a Silverback, I composed a poem for Lammas as my enriching gift to you and yours from my table to spread as you will.  May this bread gifted below be baked golden and quartered and gifted to your friends to protect the four barn corners of your life.  As I think of the Silverback as The Hierophant, I wonder, I knead the idea.  And, as I wonder… wondering, kneading… I wonder wondering if the tender topics in life are the most natural like dough. I wonder wondering if the tender topics are best kept tender where they feel to touch Nature itself in their naturally tender way where their adversity never builds their character… where their adversity reveals it… And, tender topics may simply knead their lives as a beautifully personal oven continually revealing their character.

A gift of a poem for you for Lammas.  

Here is the sustenance of “Tender’s Wisdom”, a poem from my table gifted to you to quarter and protect your corners.  The Silverback Hierophant’s got your back, so DIG IN AND ENJOY with you and yours!  … I have errands to go do, rounds to make.

Tender’s Wisdom

Wisdom expressed is best
with its soft curls and wisps
never cut too short or made to be brittle
by giving in to the reactionary arachnid
of conversation and reaction that bleeds things empty.
Naturally expressed wisdom,
talents honed and developed into secure abilities,
embraces wisdom in life itself wise in time in the moment
as it dispenses with futile searches for Truth.
Naturally expressed wisdom
embraces one’s own fluid fluency
fully becoming aware that Truth is not to be trusted to philosophers,
fully becoming aware that we are all similar and each unique,
and that the full Songs of Experience of Life and Love are Truth,
as Truth is born of a full life mixed up and kneaded over years
to rise up to continually be baked golden.
There feels to be a fluid fluency in the Truth of tender things,
a fluid fluency as much as coral zips back into its shell for protection,
at the same time as much the integrated armor
of a cute, ole, 600-pound tiger napping on its back
strong enough to be able to be gentle.
The Hierophant on a bad day may be the stubborn, unbending traditionalist,
though The Hierophant as Silverback has a welcoming, down-to-earth spirit
having brought spirit down to the earth long ago,
has a natural tenderness present
coupled with the strength of unflinching wits to support you.
The Hierophant,
continually baked golden and repeatedly kneaded and risen by decades under fire,
is present in those you know who live in continually evolving awareness
of their own Truth as they compassionately protect all four corners.
The Hierophant,
is present in those you know to be unflinchingly tender
while strong enough to be gentle without bluster.
The Hierophant,
continually baked golden by decades under fire,
bearing the naturally integrated armor of coral as his wits,
is strong enough to be gentle,
strong enough to be gentle.

Tarot, Knight of Wands, and Awakening

The Knight of Wands from Tarot in the Land of Mystereum says…

“Birth and incorporate your discoveries using your down-to-earth-spirit to brace your natural voice against.  Rise up with your strong balance with your celestial groove incorporated!”

unfamiliar actions, strangely highlighted energies in feelings, awakening, emerging anew regally

unfamiliar actions, strangely highlighted energies in feelings, awakening, emerging anew regally

Spiritually strengthened through and through may you awaken into the newly balanced you.  Appear and come forth from deep and dark places and bring your celestial light to Your Royal Court.

Like the Knight in the card using the tip of the wand as an egg-tooth, cracking the house, cracking the chrysalis of the egg… Remember, this cracking is not hard-to-mend damage.  It is… Awakening!

Energize the heart of the matter with the Knight of Wands and grow from your core (not the edges)!

Tarot, 3 of Cups, and Laughter

The 3 of Cups in Tarot in the Land of Mystereum says…

satisfaction, heart's desire, expressions, celebration

satisfaction, heart’s desire, expressions, celebration

“Celebrate in your imagination.  Celebrate your imagination.  Celebrate with your imagination.  We find that it has a tendency to burst out in smiles and songs when we dance!”

And, if you’re REALLY down and none of those things work, gig your groove and kick your rut not your butt and try this…

Say a word like “elevator” a bunch of times until it no longer makes ssense.  Ahh, keep going, say it some more.  Soon you will start laughing as you will hear yourself like you are only making caveman noises. 😉  Them, revisit what you were doing before with laughingly fresh eyes.

Happy Monday from Mystereum!

Weekly Mystereum TarotScopes for July 28 to August 3

Featured video to enhance your Tarot voice and story experience.

Click here to visit the videos on my YouTube Channel.

News Flash! …look for a special launch on August 5th!

Mystereum TarotScopes ~ Allies for Your July 28 to August 3, 2013 Week

Leo: July 23 to August 22 ~ XIII Death

transformation, Phoenix, renewal

transformation, Phoenix, renewal

Leo, This week is all about cutting back any suffocating overgrowth in your life to reveal your celestial groove more clearly. Once you see your glimmers peeking through the leaves this week, clear away excess so they shine the way only you can. The transformation in the air this week has everything to do with letting self-blame die. This week shed the unnecessary and kick your rut not your butt. And, if you are not in a rut, allow holding back to die into stepping up your game as you have less to carry this week.

Virgo: August 23 to September 22 ~ Knight of Pentacles

consistent, steady, diligent

consistent, steady, diligent

Virgo, This week you may be clipping along and come to what feels like an impasse. This week isn’t about slowing down for you. In fact it is quite the contrary to slowing down. If you come to what feels like an impasse, be creative about how you proceed. Sometimes it is because you need to hitch your horse so to speak or park your car and walk the rest of the way. Look at this week of being a time where you step out or off of vehicles you are accustomed to using to get you to a certain point and going the rest of the way happily on foot. This week will be much like a cowboy coming to a narrow trail that snakes through a mountain pass where he/she gets off the horse to walk single file so they fit. Simply adjust to the speed and scale that is fitting for each situation this week. Of course if the trail opens up, hop back on and giddy up!… until the next mountain pass intersection with yellow blinking lights. Don’t look too far ahead. Each speed and scale shift has a gift for you to notice this week.

Libra: September 23 to October 22 ~ VII The Chariot

harmony, agility at speed, syncing to engage from the side

harmony, agility at speed, syncing to engage from the side

Libra, This week isn’t really about choices for you. It seems you have already made some big choices recently. Don;t sit with them and over-think them. Close the hood of your choices, hop in, and giddy up GO! This week the energies are magnetically pulling you back in the game with the fuel of the recent, big choices you made. Find a familiar place of fun and entertainment to run some test laps so to speak with your friends to see how your new choice-fuel performs. Then, fully get back in there putting your new choices to work for you in action. This week is about warming up on the service road and then re-merging onto the highway of your life at speed. Bread and butter. Bread and butter. Be conscious of how you merge into traffic this week. Even the way you drive and what affects you this week  can be a great teacher.

Scorpio: October 23 to November 21 ~ Page of Swords

curiosity, new mental developments, zeal

curiosity, new mental developments, zeal

Scorpio, You’ve been playing with ideas lately that tend to cut both ways. This week it is time to stop looking back and playing out your process. Your process will always be your process, so close the hood of your thoughts and express the ideas you have developed that really gig you inside. Like the card here where the Page balances the blade edge of the Sword on the 3rd eye. Your imagination is stronger than you are giving it credit for this week. Stop mindlessly promoting what others have done. You have evolved from going with the flow, and floating in it might actually be cutting into your ideas which not only dilutes their compression… it may in fact be pissing you off. Like George Jetson, “JANE! Get me off this crazy thing!” Your ideas need the new life birthed by swimming upstream a bit. Don’t worry, the crowd will still be chattering and bitching about everything when you rejoin them. You’ll just be more bitchin’ cool having reset your ways with some new life birthed upstream.

Sagittarius: November 22 to December 21 ~ 4 of Swords

fruition, communication in motion

fruition, communication in motion

Sagittarius, It is all about communication in motion this week. You may even feel like you have 4 minds. Odds are it’s not MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) but 4 modes that are unique to you and wholly effective in your process. Be certain to fully shift gears to gig the right speed this week as you don’t want to grind out a gear or have drag where you need a more fluid flow and ability to accelerate. Don;t forget your brakes as you work the clutch. Shift and focus this week. Shift and focus. This week you are beginning to warm up on all cylinders. Keep it out of the redline again this week, though start to put your abilities through the paces. Make to to mind details so you don;t get ahead of yourself. Double-check your bag or satchel or briefcase before you leave the house or office to make sure everything you need is there. Attaching your keys to your wrist with a springy-bracelet might be advisable, too. You are focused and warming up in an expansive way this week. While you are, be mindful not to let details slip through the cracks, or worse, not be present to be able TO slip through the cracks because you left them somewhere. Contracts come to mind. After carefully attentive review, get ’em in play with plenty of time to spare. They’ll be giving you more road later to open up on.

Capricorn: December 22 to January 19 ~ 4 of Wands

joy, surprises, thrills out of the blue, new energies established

joy, surprises, thrills out of the blue, new energies established

Capricorn, Your established energies this week are being visited by an almost impish and fun new figure in your life like the woman in the card nourishingly and energetically peeking in like the weather with a “HeLLO. Hi! We have some new winds and weather washing through for you to spruce up your energetic picket fence.”  What? It’s not a picket fence? This week you may notice a pattern you have established that has worked to your advantage in your past even if only because you were comfortable with it… though this week be clear about a pattern of yours that even YOU feel has become a bit stodgy. No need to nuke the pattern. Simply spruce it up with the weather of paying attention to it so it works more effectively for you. Good fences don;t make good neighbors. Neighbors that aren’t assholes make good neighbors.  Tend your fences this week. In the coming weeks preparing them to be more asshole-proof will be to advantage.  Remember to look for the good in everyone… and some people are just really good at being dicks.  So what. This week work your fences so you can delegate dealing with that more to them.

Aquarius: January 20 to February 18 ~ XVIII The Moon

vision, genius, poetry, reflections from beyond, light from an unseen source, tides of life

vision, genius, poetry, reflections from beyond, light from an unseen source, tides of life

Aquarius, This week is all about opening up to what makes you laugh without reason. It is said that the person who can laugh without reason has either found their path to enlightenment or has gone completely mad. This week may feel like both at the same time to you. Step up more to what you like and own it and make time for it this week. It is not so much that laughter is magnetic.  Lately, you may have been neglecting what your inner poetry and genius and madness needs.  This week is a great time to see what really gives you that big and expansive drawing-down-the-moon stretch that fills up your kick-in-your-step tanks. Be open and honest with yourself. Are you not really crazier than you know, but crazier than you’ve been admitting? What secretly magnetizes you? How can you enhance your life by opening up more to that?  Remember, inhibitions can enslave as easily as excesses and addictions… maybe even more so as they are quiet and easily go unnoticed.  What are you ignoring in yourself so it goes unnoticed? How can you juice up your magnetism by activating more in ways that are healthy for you in particular?

Pisces: February 19 to March 20 ~ 10 of Pentacles

solid completion at hand, prosperity, close relationships, ability to share

solid completion at hand, prosperity, close relationships, ability to share

Pisces, This week is about the solid repertoire of experience and talents that you have developed and put in place to strongly build your placement. Give thanks to yourself this week by consciously taking role, by inner-smilingly taking stock of the evident features that you have solidly brought into your life by yourself and teamed up with others. You have certainly provided the groundwork and put it in place. This week, survey your lands so to speak so you can engage each component more directly in the coming weeks much like providing different kinds of care for differing perennials in a garden. Take stock this week as you keep doing what you’re doing. You feel to be building something, and Phase 1 of the foundation is in place. Make sure it cures properly before you brace against it to launch into the next phase. This is not to suggest to be tentative. Just be aware not to step in wet and uncured concrete… unless of course you are marking some you are putting in place at home.

Aries: March 21 to April 19 ~ IV The Emperor

his horse nestles in becoming his tree. Look at the horse-legroots . . . overseer, place-maker, methodically moving step by step

his horse nestles in becoming his tree. Look at the horse-legroots . . . overseer, place-maker, methodically moving step by step

Aries, What both conceals and supports you this week? What both transforms and keeps its personality intact for you this week? What subtlety are you tuning into this week? How do you engage your interests to stay informed without interfering this week? There are a lot of things in play for you this week, so play The Emperor Game… gong methodically, step by step and being aware of the weather and the tenor of your established surroundings… when you turn, you can realign the pace of the whole system… in a single step. Take care with your power and strength this week. This is not a week to stir the pot but to mindfully enhance your awareness of the things that live in your situation from their perspectives. Tinker at length with the affects of actions you are planning on taking prior to engaging them. This is a week about discerning best practices, so you can inform how you lead your life more directly like a sponge moving through your surroundings. Take it all in, though let it all settle within prior to taking action so your inner landscape harmonizes and resonates with the allies in your surroundings.

Taurus: April 20 to May 20 ~ 8 of Pentacles

exquisite work, a completion point like the top of bottom of the breath of an action, magical twilight space between

exquisite work, a completion point like the top of bottom of the breath of an action, magical twilight space between

Taurus, Keep your head down this week. Be aware of air traffic control, though not too concerned about piloting. This week is a great time for those wonderfully reflective pauses of clarity between slow and disciplined actions. This week look at each of your actions as a breath. Some are inhales, masculine and taking life in. Some are exhales, feminine where your shoulders lightly drop and relax emanating your life into the world. There are two things in common with them, though: the top of your breath; the bottom of your breath. Visualize the top of your breath and bottom of your breath as set-changers in Kabuki Theater imperceptibly moving, though moving nonetheless. Visualize the top and bottom of your breath as the magical twilight of dawn and dusk that bridges day to night and night to day. In this way feel into the full and whole and complete life cycle present in the cycle of breathing… a whole life cycle’s dna in a single breath.  Did I distract you enough, yet, so you stay on track? Keeping your head down this week is more about full focus on your actions. Stay aware of your surroundings, though as you work begin to perceive how your whole life’s cycle is informatively playing out in the dna of the smallest of your actions. Engage your big picture this week by focusing in on the world present in a single detail… and then the next… and next, and so on. Engage your big picture this week by focusing in on the detail. 

Gemini: May 21 – June 20 ~ Queen of Pentacles

practical, down to earth, nourishing, exquisite environment

practical, down to earth, nourishing, exquisite environment

Gemini, This week is all about being conscious of what the most exquisite things present in your life are. Also, what exquisite things do you want in your life? Take some time each day to daydream in your garden or on your porch or somewhere out in Nature that resonates with you. It’s coming time to bring this Nature more fully into your house, your home, so that when you walk through the door you light up more in both relaxing and invigorating ways.  This is a week about looking far and wide within and about yourself. Take note of what lights you up and bring more of that home. Little by little this week you can allow exquisiteness to enliven your whole scene. This week would be a good time to re-arrange some furniture, too. Make sure there is good ventilation and music on while you do.

Cancer: June 21 – July 22 ~ 4 of Cups

life bursts forth, successes, inner treasures of the earth

life bursts forth, successes, inner treasures of the earth

Cancer, This week is about a new treasure of the earth coming into play in your life. Jewels? Copper? Crystals coughed up from a volcano? Something is new on your scene, and arriving to function like THAT missing piece in your wits… to complete an emotional skill set and give you a new baseline of fulfillment. Be mindful to make sure people are introduced properly this week as the “missing piece” might be a person coming in out of the blue rather than a thing. Keep your senses perked this week in a way to notice marked and subtle differences. Remember the introductions. This week is not about attacking with “HELLO!” Be quiet enough to hear difference in your scene, and just as naturally, engage the difference or the different person with gentle strength. Be direct and engaging this week, though engage in a way where the stronger you are the gentler you are able to be.

Tarot, Divination, Semantics, Some Antics

A thought to enhance your Tarot voice and story experience.

Semantics are often just that. Some antics. I say tomatoe, you say tomahtoe. You say potatoe, I say… spud.  Some say I channel, I say I ad lib. There’s really no accounting for taste. We are each born to see differently.  All similar, each unique. Your life your way. You say channelling. I say spud. Either way, channelling and ad libbing are simply expressions of how you perform when the mic is live and the curtain is up. What word or words resonate with you for this?

Best to your week!  Till next time.

Weekly Mystereum TarotScopes for July 21 to July 27

Featured video to extend your Tarot story. Enjoy the lyrics…

Click here to visit the videos on my YouTube Channel.

News Flash! …look for a special launch on August 5th!

Mystereum TarotScopes ~ Allies for Your July 21 to July 27, 2013 Week

Cancer: June 21 – July 22 ~ King of Pentacles

Master Builder, stunningly solid qualities, indomitable

Master Builder, stunningly solid qualities, indomitable

Cancer, This week you are very very well-placed and have the potential to embue your old-growth qualities by bringing them to some new ventures you are involved with or working on. Keep that Kingly humor all week to keep the air clean of requests for explanation.  This week is more about putting large things in place just so, like tailoring the pyramid’s siting. And, hmmm, a pyramid… There are myths and stories about the whole worlds underneath them beyond the standard cross-sections we typically see. Think of yourself as a pyramid in terms of geometry this week, though. You, as a pyramid…”Pyramids are themselves their own foundation set on the sands of time.” (Mystereum Imagination Primer, page 71, used by permission 😉 ).  Use that to your advantage this week. When you set something down or lay something out this week, it may well naturally look as if it has been there forever. Be mindful of that this week as work in the discipline of your Arranger’s Syndrome magic… much better than calling it OCD, huh?

Leo: July 23 to August 22 ~ VIII Justice

balance, befitting, honest is-what-it-isness

balance, befitting, honest is-what-it-isness

Leo, This week forget about focusing too much on the good or the bad in things. Instead, look to consequences. Weight the heart of the matter in your own natural order of the consequences you will take responsibility for this week.  The founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, put it, “It is necessary to develop a strategy that utilizes all the physical conditions and elements that are directly at hand. The best strategy relies on an unlimited set of responses.” So, with that in mind, mind the ultimatums you give yourself as the trail heads and milestones of your core strategies though in a way so they simply keep you aware on the trail and not limited in your responses. Your best strategy this week is probably to simply keep putting one foot in front of the other to keep your motion always warmed up and alive, and… keeping one foot in front of the other may consequently… OOOPS… integrate the Other which can keep you open to an unlimited set of responses. There will be weight and gravity to each of your steps this week, though view that like your environmental weather. No need to weigh each step this week. In fact move around speed bumps taking the path of least resistance this week. Jostling your sense of scale and direction will require some recovery time to tare the scale. Don’t put it in 4-wheel drive this week. Better to balance your scale early in the week for normal conditions, and let its motion simply inform your direction across the week like an inner compass or 14-point telemetry system. Make sure if you feel imbalanced during the week, breathe for 20 seconds to recalibrate and tare your scale. It is not advised to wander in and wing it all wibbly wobbly this week. And, that’s not a challenge. That will set off the big, yellow, blinking hazard light of your traction control. Don’t do that. No matter if you do, though. Testing limits rocks! Simply make sure you recalibrate and tare your scale regularly this week, and that you have things in the right gear and pointed in the right direction before stepping on the gas. Double-check things this week. Don’t assume things are where you left them. This week may have a tendency to play a game of chess to your checkers. Roll with it, though keep a constant eye on the balance of things to adjust things and keep on (the) track. 

Virgo: August 23 to September 22 ~ 5 of Pentacles

Notice the medulla oblongata moving to integrate from the unconscious, established inner light, expectation, emotional pressure filled, tears becoming sacred adornment

Notice the medulla oblongata moving to integrate from the unconscious, established inner light, expectation, emotional pressure filled, tears becoming sacred adornment

Virgo, This week you may remember a lot of when you used to hobble here and hope, and hobble there and petition, though this week all your inner sunbeams are shining through the cracks. It seems you integrated something quirky and odd and maybe even a bit exotic that now feels like just the most natural and normal of things to have. And, that just makes it coolness that much more…cool. Hmmm, what is it?  Ahh, we know, that’s all yours, though this week get it a proper home in your mind. It seems you are loading up and securing passengers for a roller coaster ride through the fun house, and you need to make sure the sacred adornments of your bobbles aren’t shaking off long the ride.  You won’t need to leave a Hansel and Gretel trail on this ride. In fact you are seemingly making a Fun House roller coaster ride out of your familiar surroundings.  Keep seeing those familiar surroundings differently. Like the flower sneaking up on the card image above… an integrated medulla oblongata is a good thing.  One that’s loose and can be shaken off?… not so much.

Libra: September 23 to October 22 ~ 8 of Wands

up in the air in a positive way like moonbeams, energy across a plateau like field sports

up in the air in a positive way like moonbeams, energy across a plateau like field sports

Libra, Things are up in the air in a positive way this week. Are you taking a trip? Are you playing field sports or Frisbee or catch where that ball or disk has a magic while soaring through the air on the way to its destination? This week if you are traveling, keep yourself up in the air in a positive way so to speak once you land. Keep things light enough to fly though powerfully smart enough to get things off the ground. Use your work like wings this week.  Which two projects will best do this for you? Which two projects when in play really serve to get you off of the ground and put you into play more effectively? Discern that, and line up all of your other projects as passenger priorities, cabin priorities, food and drink priorities, seat belt priorities, etc.  Don’t forget the Loo, too, unless of course you have a special seat. Remember that an active mind is immune to boredom, so pilot yourself and your work up into air-traffic-control land, the land of things on their way back and forth. Work this angle and this week you may discover your own, personal Silk Road. Don’t be surprised at exotic spices and treasures wafting in out of the blue this week.

Scorpio: October 23 to November 21 ~ Knight of Swords

generating ideas, being well-placed, incorporating at speed in motion

generating ideas, being well-placed, incorporating at speed in motion

Scorpio, This week the sword doesn’t cut both ways so much as you have multiple ways of thinking about things so that you can respond to influences and incorporate ideas at speed and in motion. This week is all about performance and strongly continuing the lines of thought you have been pursuing. Don’t get corralled into overly-intellectual or overly-spiritual traps this week. Each is good for the other when dancing and is instantly poison to the other when separate. Hop more into whatever the F that Nature is. What would Nature do? And, notice that Nature doesn’t ask questions, the weather is not narcissistic, and yet the weather still washes right through.  This week work each and every situation like you are Nature itself deftly working cattle on a ranch with your trusty dog. If it’s snowing, bring a coat. If it’s raining, bring an umbrella. If it’s sunny, bring a friend. Keep your perspective fresh and open. This week will cycle through multiple things with multiple ways to think about them.  Best to simply keep them all together with a bit of air traffic control and light convo rather than trying to allocate any landing strips and decide on them.  You seem to already have the landing strips all full up this week. Work the heart of the matter of each way of thinking about something rather than picking faves. You also may need a bigger dose of humor this week, or a cookie, so you don’t begin to bore yourself to tears with all these things around you that are just not yet ripe for the picking.

Sagittarius: November 22 to December 21 ~ Ace of Wands

new life, place-making, enthusiasm

new life, place-making, enthusiasm

Sagittarius, You might feel like sharing a LOT this week, though don’t let go of the reins so soon. You will do well with the energies to pay more attention to yourself and the energies you have taken just about forever to discover and develop and place. Don’t go giving too much this week regardless of the return. YOU are the nucleus of your world, your energies are just too valuable, and it’s high time you came first in your life. Be the Master Gardener who smiles at planting a special seed, though doesn’t sing it to the rooftops so that everyone comes crowding in to trample the ground. No surprise then, huh?, when the seed doesn’t sprout. Take care of yourself as your most valuable asset. Give yourself all the attention you need this week, and certainly don’t stay at home all the time. Go out and get a view from the cave to go. Your candle is ripening into a torch to light your way and not stopping there. I’d say, “patience grasshopper,” though you’d just catch it for bait and go fishing with it. Pay attention to yourself fully this week Sagittarius. I’d gather even the way you place things has a new flavor to it. Baskin Robbins with 31 isn’t enough. Tasting all 32 and then some will certainly be a good start, though. A lot of people are about to want a piece of you… no, more than that. You of all people need to get your chops up to speed and up your game of your smilingly-in-a-blunt way of saying “No” without a care in the world other than whatever it was wasn’t right for you in a way that they understand without explanation, or don’t… just as good.  Step up to step into yourself this week, Sag. You don’t want the rocket to launch without you. 

Capricorn: December 22 to January 19 ~ V The Hierophant

down-to-earth spirit, wisdom, activated spirit, indomitable spirit

down-to-earth spirit, wisdom, activated spirit, indomitable spirit

Capricorn, You may naturally understand this card more than most to the point of calling him The HieroDood. Heck, you know all too well that The Hierophant on a bad day is the stubborn and unbending traditionalist. So, this week just don’t sit or walk or even meet with those who are all in their head. It leads to no-where. After all evening and into the night your convo probably comes up upon 3:55a where you’re about to solve the world’s problems until of course at 4:00a DAYum I gotta hit the hay. Suggestion.  This week, engage the big picture in your life. Engage your big picture more this week, though, by focusing in on the smallest details. Expand into your big picture from the smallest details. This week the devil isn’t in the details. There are doors in the details… maybe even more like wormholes to fractal-facet all scales together. Shift your focus to redirect your scale this week.  Expand into your big picture by entering it from the smallest details.

Aquarius: January 20 to February 18 ~ XX Judgment

patience, respect, renewal, resurrection, sensing perennial nature

patience, respect, renewal, resurrection, sensing perennial nature

Aquarius, This week you may very well feel overly sensitive and also tentative as if you are protecting something though you still don’t know what or where it is. This heightened sensitivity may make it feel like cosmic messages are pointed right at you through a megaphone, and though loud and clear there may be the biggest WTF dancing in right along with them. Find your own center. Find your own eye in every storm no matter how large or small. Something is opening up behind the scenes for you felt like an unseen seed cracking open under the ground. Simply be mindful of your footsteps this week. You don’t want to accidentally trample some new sprout poking its nose up into your life. Simply do whatever you do when you plan to walk a new path. Sooner rather than later your path will need to be adjusted to accommodate these new things sprouting up as the future landmarks they are. Simply listen and take notes this week as you fully feel into your steps… and take note of anything new on the scene regardless of how small it may initially seem.

Pisces: February 19 to March 20 ~ 6 of Swords

letting go of baggage, exchanging with no extra, surprise messages

letting go of baggage, exchanging with no extra, surprise messages

Pisces, This week will show you just how much you have on your plate, so be mindful not to reach for more. This week is all about showing up mentally to deftly deal with all the communications and ideas you hold or are managing. Healthy and full exchanges will be the theme of your week if you want to get some of the many things off of your plate and put in place and into action in the near future. This week, though, deal with what you have in front of you to work on. Make sure to mind the necessary air traffic control that you will need to perform to keep annoying flies and seagull managers out of your mix.  You know the type?  They fly in all of a sudden, ruffle a bunch of feathers, sh*t all over everything, and just as suddenly fly out. Protect your workload from being overburdened or minimized with healthy and full exchanges. You only have enough runways to land some of the things you have on your plate for their connecting flights. Don’t be dazzled into delusional compliance by the fake fashion runways of others tugging at your work patterns. This week it’s all hands on deck, though only the hands that you so deem to be there.  Playing this way throughout this week without exception may not be the easiest gig, though I bet not alien to you. Step up your game by simply stepping more IN to the things already IN your game. The rewards won’t be as far off as you may imagine.

Aries: March 21 to April 19 ~ 2 of Pentacles

balance, equanimity, crucial detail, dna-level connective tissue

balance, equanimity, crucial detail, dna-level connective tissue

Aries, This week is all about the most critical connective tissues and connections between things for you. Like a fluid sprinter at break-neck speed, be conscious of the tiniest things that are out of balance that can shoot you spinning way off course or right into the wall or ground. No need to take that sensationally or to induce worry. In fact quite the contrary. Part of the fluidity of a great sprinter is that they are trained fully for their focus. Even the smallest of things that doesn’t belong is jettisoned before it can become grit mucking up the flow. And, the smallest of things that all do belong consequently begin to work together fueling different scale much like the well-crafted inner workings of a great watch or clock. Take this simple mantra for the week: “Forgetting is for getting. It makes more room for the good stuff.”  This week quickly clean out anything unnecessary or that doesn’t belong. The way you enhance you forward progress doing this may well thank you profusely… or with a simple and intensely direct “thank you” nod.

Taurus: April 20 to May 20 ~ 3 of Wands

new energies, enthusiasm, travel

new energies, enthusiasm, travel

Taurus, After your stint of important Major Arcana cards for several weeks, it looks like you can finally get yourself out of the Big Picture Garage and let the energies cleanly cycle through with the rubber directly meeting the road. Play the performance you have been developing with the wonderfully sticky energetic tires you have this week. Are you seeing a Formula 1 or TT race analogy going on here?  Good deal if you do!  Work your pits remotely. Work all of your support structures be they Design Engineers, Tech, Consultants, etc. remotely. Work them to your advantage this week by delegating as much as you can so that they can keep feeding you the info you need from remote places (research coming in from back burners).  Be the driver this week that is really in the driver’s seat. Steer with the clean energies that come, juice you up, and continue on out. Don’t hold on too tightly this week and get tunnel vision. Use the energies cleanly cycling through this week to keep your environment fresh and pulsing so you start to expand to your grand vision of what is ahead.

Gemini: May 21 – June 20 ~ 5 of Wands

What do you see that everyone else is missing?,  stiff competition, challenges, new perspective in the mix

What do you see that everyone else is missing?, stiff competition, challenges, new perspective in the mix

Gemini, This week is all about playing to and with the heart of the matter, the eye of the storm, the presence in the chaos. You may have been dabbling with being more positive recently, though this week that will present an all-too-agreeable you.  Don;t smile just for the sake of it. I’m not indicating for you to be mean or rude or an a**, simply that you bring something that the competition is missing… and, especially with this week’s energies it will work better when brought forth in pure and undiluted form.  Keep your sense of humor this week. It’s of course just fine to look for the good in all people. Simply remember that some people are simply really good at being dicks. Steer clear of those people like steering clear of orange cones on a slalom course. New life is found by swimming upstream against the current. What new life do you bring to the table this week that the competition is or your teammates are missing? How do you best put it in play?

Best to your Mystereum TarotScope enhancing your week!  Till next time.

Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today… ’cause the past was once the future, and today will be too!

And, even in a card with no people, there is always one… You looking in through the card portal.
