The Energy of the Week: Our Ancestors

Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Four of Swords:
There are moments in life where you must rest in order to be whole again.
The Four of Swords deals with the light subject of death, or rather, what seems like death. Pink talks about it in her song “I’m not dead”.
She states that she is simply floating in the astral plane.
She is resting and hiding within life so that she can fight again.

Just like Sleeping Beauty, we are waiting for a kiss to break the curse that has been placed on us.
This card speaks about that slumber that may seem like we are dead.
Maybe Source is telling us that we need to be whole so that we can return to our life shinning bright and new.

It does not mean we are giving up. It simply means that we are listening to our own spirit and loving our current self.
We are relaxing so that we can aid others on their path later on.
Meditate.
Do Reiki on your self.
Create sacred space and listen.
This card is about listening and sitting still for a moment.
It is advising us to allow good to take place all around us by just standing still and being quiet.

Ten of Cups, Queen of Cups, Three of Wands:
By allowing our thoughts to flow with the Divine heartbeat of life, we allow our creativity to produce great spiritual artifacts.
We may be resting by the Four of Swords standards, but within we are creating.
The good will flow from our fingertips as music is produced.
The love will flow into the painting as we silently contemplate on our soul.

Spirit will speak to us as we listen in silence, as we daydream about what is to come.
Sometimes we need to reflect on things that have passed, so that we can gain valuable information as to where we are to go next.
The thumb tac is put on a certain destination.
The directions are printed out.
We can see our love in the distance, still calling to us from across the ocean.

Love will pour out from out heart, touching all those in its path, as it heads to our destination.
This week is about feeling love within our spirit, our family, and our home.
With a smile on our face we remember those who have passed, knowing that our ancestors are still around us, pushing us to the next great adventure.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Mortal Wound

10/7/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Mortal Wound

Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Four of Coins:
This card talks about conserving versus hoarding.
We see the struggle on the man’s face in the card. Do I save my money for a rainy day, regardless if it is not raining, or save it due to my false thought of “lack of”?
Money can be viewed as an energy.
It must be processed just like anything else in our life.

It has the same value as other lessons.
It contains the same value as love.
It is just an energy.
If we view it as anything else, then the value is diminished, and it becomes our vice.
It holds us down.
It complicates things.
It makes us crazy.

We must find out how to conserve our money, our time, our self-worth.
Holding on too long will only make us want more. The thought of “lack of” will settle in and our adventure comes to a halt.

If we were to look at the man on the card, we would see that he is sitting on the side of the road, stuck, and holding on to things (what he sees as precious) for dear life.
In the distance there is a castle. A town. A place of new adventure. Maybe it is a bank. Maybe It is a store.
Maybe it is his goal.
One thing that we must learn from the Four of Coins is that all things require time and thought.
Maybe that is the money he is holding onto.
Time and thought.
Energy to create.

If we are to hold onto these things due to the thought of “lack of”, then what we desire will always be in the distance.
Give things away.
Hold onto things.
Be selfish.
Be free.
The power does not lie in the act. It lies in the thought process.
If you give with the thought of “there is always more”, then you will get exactly that.
When you do not give and think that you must hold onto everything in order to have more, then you will always be caught within the state of ‘not enough’.
This man sits on the cusp of both thought forms.
He simply must choose.
He simply must get up and move.

The World, Ten of Swords, Judgement:
This feels like the week is going to be difficult.
No need to stress.
We may feel like the end of the world is taking place. With the Ten of Swords reaching out from behind the scene, closing in, it pushes us to the ground. We feel the sharp edges of the stones fall upon our back.
We begin to cry due to the physical pain, but our spirit doesn’t waiver.
This is only a physical scratch, even though we may feel as if it is a mortal wound.

It is time to think differently about the situation at hand. Nothing can really hold us down. Nothing can really be destroyed unless we allow it.
Things need to end.
Things need to be left behind.
People from the past need to be let go.
With a moment of silence, and a positive thought, we send love out into the Universe.

It is never the end of our existence, just the ending of one cycle into another.
Loss is part of the process.

Take notice of the sunrise in the distance, behind the clouds, beyond the raging storm.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Doing Something Different

9/30/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Doing Something Different

Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Justice:
With every brush stroke you put on your canvas there is an attachment of love. There is an attachment of hope. Justice brings in Universal Law along with laws associated with this plane of existence.
Trouble with the law?
I doubt it.

You may get pulled over by the police, but the lesson is not that the law is after you, it is about what you have done in your past (past life or things done yesterday) and how you are processing it.
Have you really learned your lesson?
Are you really moving forward?

The big lesson here is to understand that what you put out into the Universe will surely come back to you full force. Remember to speak of joy and love rather than hate.
Speak of truth rather than lies.
Talk about people in a positive light rather than focusing on their flaws.
The Universe is begging for this change of thought and word.
The Universe is wanting us to receive the good in our life and understand that everything you do is in a circular motion that goes out and comes in. It returns full force.
With a crash and a boom, it reveals the greatest lesson you could ever learn.
It produces life.
It creates more chaos for us to process. In the end, we realize that all of it happened for a reason. The Justice card is more than what some see as Karma.
Some may say, “They will get what is due to them soon.”
I state that Karma is so much bigger than what they are thinking.
It is the essence of a lesson.
Lessons are to be positive aspects of life.
Karma is the acceptance of what was done in the past. To state that someone deserves something bad in return for doing something bad is a false statement. It is just a negative reaction to the pain, suffering, and unworthiness that we sometimes think of our self.

My advice is to choose wisely with the choices you decide to make. Understand that everything you put out comes back to you.
Are you ready to accept what is being presented to the Universe?
Send out love and you get more love back.
Send out thoughts of pain and you get more pain back.
The Universe is just a mirror that reflects the very essence of our being.
This is Justice in my mind.

Wheel of Fortune, Four of Cups, The Moon:
The good times are still upon us.
We received that greatness in the beginning of the month, and now we are hitting the high of it.
Let us not lose sight of our goal, to be light when darkness surrounds us.
Do not get bored in our current position.
Do not get comfortable.
Change is coming.
We will see it later in the month of October.

This lesson is short and brief.
When things seem like they are not working out in our favor, change direction.
Take the long way home.
Take a left turn.
By doing something different we are allowing Spirit to speak to us through our actions.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Spark and Fire

9/23/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Spark and Fire

Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Six of Cups:
There are moments when I want the past to return into my life.
I wish for it to rear its ugly head and remind me that I was once unhappy.
I sometimes crave for my past mistakes to return, full force, to show me why I created this change in my life.
I want to be reminded of old habits that I had forgot about.
Habits that can push me to the ground and lead me to believe that I am unworthy.

The past returns with great momentum.
It spins and topples on the axis of our life.
It balances our spirit out with the earth-like body we inhabit.

The Six of Cups is about the past.
Past actions.
Past love.
Past statements.
Try to love the past when it is mixed in the present, we must separate the bad, and scoop up all the good on top.
Remember to look at the past with eyes of forgiveness.
Remember to state to the past that it is just a memory.
It does not contain any true power, only the power we feed it.

Death, Ace of Wands, Three of Swords:
Last week the Devil card showed up to tempt us to stay the same.
To be old and stagnant.

This week the Death card is here to cause the transformation to take place, regardless if we think we are ready (not ready) for change.

The good from last week is still within our Aura.
Swimming and floating deep within our spiritual ocean.
It is not forgotten, but we must look forward now.

Good things have taken place and now the change must begin.
We may feel like the world is ending.
We may feel like things are broken, but they are simply asleep.
Time to awaken the strength within us, pull up our sleeves, and strike.

Create spark and fire with the metal.
Create love and peace with our spirit.
Burn, baby burn.

With a fire in our eyes, we change and transmute the very air around us.
Pain is part of the process, because we hold on to things that do not serve us anymore.
We try to return to the past and use it to our advantage, but things in the past are just memories of what we once were.
Kiss them goodbye for they are now only a pin tac in our history, reminding us of a time and place that once caused an emotion.

Move forward even if we cry with every step.
Understand that we are different now.
Now that we contain exactly what is needed, at the perfect place, in the perfect time.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Chosen for a Reason

9/16/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Chosen for a Reason

Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

The Devil:
Just like that, the cycle starts. Here is the Devil. I think we shall see the Tower card next week or possibly next month.
Now, let me advise you, that if the Devil card comes up again next week then I will be shaking my fist at it while it turns over.
Ha!

Okay, back to the reading.
What you wish to hold onto this week, will cause you pain.
How much pain?
Probably a lot.
Probably a little.
Don’t know.

The choice is up to you. One thing you must keep in mind, is that, the Devil is not here to cause problems. It is here to cause us to really look at what we are doing, how we are treating our self, and how honest we are with our spirit.
Are you honest with your spirit?

I know that it can be difficult to get rid of items that tempt us to return to old habits and thoughts. It can suck at times, but we must understand that they are there to push us forward. Eventually we will get tired of seeing the Devil card energy in our life and we will decide to advance on our spiritual journey.

The Devil card and I have this love/hate relationship.
Yes, I cringe when it turns up in a reading, but not from fear. I cringe at the fact that the Devil card is telling me that it is time to evaluate our life. It is time to look at our goals and what we are creating.
It may be done out of regret or lack of self-worth. It may be done out of pure spite.
In the end we will have to decide on whether what we are doing is benefiting us on our spiritual journey. If it is not, then we will have to let it go. We will have to cut ties and understand that it was simply there to distract us.

Ace of Coins, Four of Swords, Queen of Wands:
All that hard work is paying off.
We stood our ground, held on to the thought of things working out in our favor, and now it is time be recognized.

We stopped grasping for things to keep us safe.
We stopped trying to produce the solution, when Source was creating the solution for us.

Ace of Coins is about the manifestation of great things into reality.
A raise or promotion is going to take place.
It is happening as the words on this page are being read.

The struggle is over, it is time to rest and relax.
It is time to prepare oneself for the coming weeks of hard work.
No more proving that we are worthy.
No more proving that we are smart.
It is time to put that wonderful heart to work and create something wonderful.

We are recognized for our ambition to be awesome.
Let the light shine and know that we were chosen for a reason.

There is a new job happening for those who do not have one.
As you read this entry, the job is being created.
This week is about victory.
Now go and enjoy.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Revealed and Consumed

9/9/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Revealed and Consumed

Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Seven of Wands:
The key word I have chosen for this card is “Defense”.
Stand our ground.
Hold onto what we have around us.
Understand that we walk this path for our own self-worth.
Do not let others dictate who we are.
Do not be ashamed.

When this card shows up in a reading, we must attach certain characteristics to it.
The person must be willing to stay strong in the face of danger.
The person must be willing to state their truth.
This card does not mean that we must be stubborn, it is more about living our life within alignment of our Divine plan.
We must be connected to Source.
We must stand within our truth.
We must create healthy boundaries.

The big lesson with this card is understanding that we must move forward with the things that will benefit us in the long run. Others may frown upon our decision due to not understanding where we are coming from.
This card also deals with the feeling of our backs against the wall. Maybe we need to have this done, so that we will decide and follow through with it.
This is not about winning or losing.
This is about making a strategic move towards our greater good.

Strength, Ten of Swords, Nine of Cups:
This month is all about hidden surprises.
A present that is to be opened and used to our advantage.
It is all about being positive.

Stay strong and understand that we contain the power to create.

The Ten of Swords is showing up, stating that there may be a feeling of defeat, but it is only an illusion.
The Nine of Cups is prompting that surprise to be revealed and consumed.

What we wish for will take place.
What we desire, will be obtained.

This month, the entries will be short and to the point.
I feel like if I was to write in a lengthy manner, then the lesson would be lost within the sentences.
Sometimes a word can change the very energy that sits around us, waiting to be noticed.

One step is all that is required from us.
One step in any direction.
Move, be strong, hold on to hope, and everything will fall into place.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Things Hidden

9/2/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Things Hidden

Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Knight of Swords:
This card is known as the Communicator.
The phrase “silver tongue” comes to mind.
It can be used to do good or to cause trouble.
The astrological sign I associate to this Court Card is “Gemini”.
Split personality.

We see the Knight charge ahead with great power and when this card shows up in a reading, we are dealing with an action.
The action to create good within our life.
Like the sword, the Gemini is double edged.
One side can cut with truth and the other with a lie.
I believe the Communicator is here to help us with working things out in our head.

We stand in front of many paths to walk and the energy of the Knight of Swords speaks to us about clarity.
Cutting through all the bullshit requires a sharp sword of truth.
We can take on the power of the Knight of Swords and speak with a sharp tongue of truth, using our words to get to the core of the solution.
We break through obstacles with power and precise strikes.
Are we communicating properly and listening to the other person?
Are they listening to us?

This card can be a person within our life that is either here to cause trouble or make things whole again.
They have power and action on their side.
They cause us to move and choose our path of greatness.

Be cautious though, like everything within this life, we have a choice.
A choice to create or destroy.
Will we use this power to heal or hurt?
It is up to us to understand what side we stand by when the Knight of Swords shows up.

Page of Cups, Five of Coins, Four of Coins:
Things need to be made clear.
If we hold onto our energy, then the Universe is missing a piece of the puzzle.

Things will work out in our favor.
We see the Page of Cups hanging out in the shadows, ready to reveal the surprise of love.
We look at the Five of Coins as a downfall.
We stumble in the dark, hitting our pinky toe on the end table.
We whimper in pain, but the toe is still intact, even if it feels like it was ripped from our foot.
Things may feel like they are gone and out of reach, but with every step we take in a direction of hope, we find that things are just hidden.
We find that we have had our eyes closed during the struggle.
Maybe the light of love was too bright for us and as we kept moving forward, we forgot to open our eyes once again allowing them to adjust.

This week is about our feeling of security.
It may be threatened and shaken, but we are not going to allow that fear to take over.
Keep giving our time and energy to those around us who reciprocate that same energy to us in different forms.
Understand that as we give, the jar of love and security will fill up, overflowing at times.

The answer will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Within the Sorrow

8/26/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Within the Sorrow

Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Three of Cups:
The Key word I have associated with this card is "Celebration".
Celebration of what has happened, what is taking place now, and what will take place in the future.
It is a sense of knowing.
We dance in celebration to build up energy.
To create sacred space.
To let the Universe know that we are happy and content.

It is the coming together that creates this power.
Friends and family bring in a new form of energy.
Personal versus shared power.

When we look at the three of cups, we see people trying to harness power.
They understand that sacrifice must happen.
I want to look deeper at this card.
I want to see it in a different light.
This is the only way to move forward with our Tarot Journey.

What happens after the celebration is over?

Between the Three of Cups and the Four of Cups. The part that is not yet boredom with relationships and love but is still in the happy stage.
The shadow spectrum of this card deals with the commitment with people that do not benefit us.
Putting our hands in those that could mislead us.
Maybe it is not their intention to mislead us but as some may say; it is like the blind leading the blind.
We take their hand in faith and hope that things will turn out okay.

When we see the Three of Cups, we must focus on great minds coming together to manifest.
To manifest love.
To manifest magic.
Remember this as we leave the party, as we enter back into the “normal life”.
Remember that the magic is still brewing and moving towards our desire.

The Sun, Death, Six of Coins:
This month, the theme has been about happiness mixed within the sorrow.
The energy for August has been a roller coaster ride, up and down, left and right.

The change is passing.
Our spiritual growth is starting to slow down.

The Sun is representing the return to a pleasant time. Some associate this card with harvest and abundance.
I associate this card with the feeling of returning home again.
That warm feeling which fills us up with so much joy and happiness, our eyes tear up.
We feel whole again.
We feel complete.

Death had to make an appearance since the Tower card showed up this month. We can not have one without the other. This is the change that has been taking place all month. Now it is present and we know that things will start to slow down as the change is almost complete.

The Six of Coins brings the two cards together.
We give love and kindness and we also receive it.
Something great is going to be given to us and the person giving it will also receive great things. The circle is complete. The line has been drawn.
Now it is time to enjoy and accept what is being given.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Turn Around

8/19/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Turn Around

Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Queen of Swords:
I associate this card with the sign of Aquarius.
I was taught that this card is known as the Idealist.
I can never get this card situated because there are not very many Aquarius people around me.
This person is very well with words.
They communicate, in a loving way, what is expected and what is needed in an environment.
Watch out though.
The shadow side of this card can be mean and cruel.

What we see as sharped tongue is just the Queen of Swords expressing her frustration and concern.
I would associate the song “You can’t always get what you want” by the Rolling Stones with this card.
The Queen of Swords will advise you on what route to take but will state what danger is involved.
Do not cross this card with an intent to ignore her sound advice.
She does not respond well to her time being wasted.
Be ready to hear what she must say and pay attention.
We may not hear what we want to hear, but it will be words that are needed to get past the obstacle on your spiritual path.

Knight of Coins, The Empress, The Tower:
We see action within the Knight of Coins.
The action and possibility of overseeing the good as it takes place.
We respond with happiness when good things happen within our life, but what happens in the down time?

What happens when it all falls apart, crashing to the ground with great force, destroying everything we have built to the sky?

Sometimes the truth hurts.
Sometimes we look the other way, hoping that things will work out differently if we keep our eyes closed.
We must face our fear.
The fear of losing everything.
The fear of being unloved.
The fear of being less than.

The Empress is telling us that good things are happening all around us.
What we have planted will flourish.
The people we love will understand, just like we understand them.

Even if the truth will cause things to break, we must remember that things can be fixed, made whole and new again.
Accept what is happening at this very moment.
Appreciate life.
Appreciate the air we breathe.
Appreciate our very existence on this Earth.

Do not get lost within the destruction that is taking place.
Do not get lost within the rubble, but if we should find our self in this position, then understand that it is better to keep moving forward than to turn around and retrace our steps.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Causes Pain

8/12/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Causes Pain

Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Seven of Wands:
The key word I have chosen for this card is “Defense”.
Stand our ground.
Hold onto what we have around us.
Understand that we walk this path for our own self-worth.
Do not let others dictate who we are.
Do not be ashamed.

When this card shows up in a reading, we must attach certain characteristics to it.
The person must be willing to stay strong in the face of danger.
The person must be willing to state their truth.
This card does not mean that we must be stubborn, it is more about living our life within alignment of our Divine plan.
We must be connected to Source.
We must stand within our truth.
We must create healthy boundaries.

The big lesson with this card is understanding that we must move forward with the things that will benefit us in the long run. Others may frown upon our decision due to not understanding where we are coming from.
This card also deals with the feeling of our backs against the wall. Maybe we need to have this done, so that we will decide and follow through with it.
This is not about winning or losing.
This is about making a strategic move towards our greater good.

Two of Wands, Five of Swords, Five of Coins:
Keep looking forward.
Remember that last week was about allowing things to take place.
This week the energy wants us to focus on our goal.
Even if things do not work out as planned, which we see in the Five of Swords, we still must focus our power on the plan we created.

When we see the Five of Coins enter our environment, fear can sometimes set in, for it means that there is a loss of something.
A loss of money, love, or person.
They are never really gone.
They sit on the outskirts of our Aura, waiting for the right positive thought process to latch on to, and be manifested.

I do not like to tell people that there will be a loss of something, for they think it will never return.
As we move through this week, understand that things may not work out as planned.
They may look different and people may change.

We must stay focused and understand that we are not the ones who are lost in our belief system.
We understand that change must take place and with that change, there may be a feeling of pain associated with it, because our body may not agree with what is happening.
Our body may not agree with the change for the better, for it only knows that change causes pain.
Our spirit loves change, for it knows that something awesome is about to take place.

Things will be left behind, and new things will arise.
All of this is just a process that we choose to be positive or negative.
My hope is that we choose for it to be positive, even in the darkest storm.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron
