The studious young Jack of Clubs is a personification of creative, highly-charged mental energy. Will this be something new?









  Seven Diamonds is the spiritual money card -- a real-life oxymoron. When it appears, we will wish to examine just how attached to our money we are, and cultivate a little gratitude for what we've got. This is a time when our faith in the abundance of the universe is tested.





Tarot trump IV, the Emperor, is a disciplined guy, in control of himself, and confident in his role as the head guy in charge of everything. But ask yourself, "Are we a bad leader? Demanding? Impatient? Unreasonable?" So don't say "My way or the highway," lest you find yourself set out upon that selfsame highway, going down that dirt road by yourself.

the way ahead

The queen is indicative of a person who is highly intuitive, well-organized, and possessed of the nurturing instinct. This is someone who may be high strung and impatient. All these traits, usually associated with females, are in reality not gender-specific.

The ten of hearts is the performers' card, but the type of performing alluded to here isn't specified. This ten is closely linked to the Jack of Spades, possibly the most creative of all the suited cards (as opposed to the tarot trumps), and he can signal initiation into a higher plane of existence than one has experienced up until now.

The six hearts is a peacemaking card, but peace only comes after the card's karmic prerequisites are satisfied. Six hearts demands that all outstanding obligations pertaining to love be discharged, and that one take responsibility for the words spoken, actions done, and feelings generated by the closest of relationships.

Then come the nines, which signify endings. Nine hearts indicates a personal loss of desired affection, either that of the special other, or a diminishment one's own affection for that certain someone. The nine diamonds is concerned with the material plane, and usually means the ending of an accustomed way of making money or otherwise supporting oneself.

lost in the woods

I'm lost in the woods. The funny thing is, I don't even care whether I find my way out again, and don't know where I'd go or what I'd do if I did escape. I feel captive in this lady's organic gingerbread house, even though this is where I asked to be, sort of. I guess I didn't know it would be as confusing as it is.
