The Energy of the Week: Positive Thought in Motion

Photo Finish Phrase: Positive Thought in Motion

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.

Strength:
Power can come to us in many forms. Within our hands and in our heart. We can perceive power to be in someone else’s field of battle.
Where does your power lay?
Defeat is such an ugly word. It can leave us feeling sad and depressed.
Power is simply a state of mind.
A thought.
You contain great power within you at this very moment. Power that can move mountains.
Have you recognized that power?

The Strength card advises us to calm the raging storm within. To soothe the primitive animal.
It is not always about who has the power but it is more about what someone does with it.
To waste it on primitive things or really harness it to heal.

This card is talking about our inner power that we recognize to be true and also where you put that power.
Someone may enter your field of existence and try to take that power away from you. Try is the key word. They can only take what you decide to give them.

Three of Coins, Three of Cups, Ace of Coins:
Money and love.
We desire both.
We long to be seen by those we love and we long to have money to enjoy.
When these two planets align, everything is perfect.
At least that is what we think is happening.

This week the cards speak about a love that will recognize the light within us.
A love that we will find within, to move forward, and create prosperity.
Do not get stuck on the why.
Do not get stuck on the how.
Just know that money and prosperity are around the corner. Keep a positive outlook. Keep a positive thought in motion.
Pray.

Understand that no one holds you back.
You create the obstacles within your life by holding onto worry, doubt, and fear.
No matter what, we will improve and understand.
Understand that no matter who you desire the worthiness from, the only worthiness that matters is your own.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: The Contact

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: The Contact

Photo Finish Phrase: The Contact

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 High Priestess:
If the Magician is the manifested elements within our life then the High Priestess would be the unseen forces working to birth our desire.
It is the kind of shit that swirls and sparks in the dark of night.
It is the unknown desire that sits within the center of our spirit. The kind of desire that we sometimes hide within the shadow of our life. In true essence it is no different than the wanting to be loved.
This card is about your intuition. It is about the spirits talking to us through signs and symbols.

Sometimes we just know that something will transpire and take place. Sometimes we end up at a certain place in our environment, by a wrong turn on the highway of life.
Sometimes we must trust that the path we are walking on, will lead us to exactly what is desired. The High Priestess leads us down a balanced path, but we must recognize the good contained within it.

It is when we do not trust our inner self, that we end up in a state of despair and disappointment. It is when we do not trust the spirits, that we end up lost and un-worthy.
Sometimes that is required.
Sometimes we must get lost within the bright lights, congested traffic, and stadium filled crowds, in order, to really stop and listen to our inner self. In order, to really stop and listen to our spirit.

Three of Cups, Five of Wands, Four of Wands:
The Three of Cups talks about the movement forward of a relationship.
The movement forward of our relationship with spirit, with people, and with a partner. The real relationship that we need to become solidified in, is with our self.
To nourish the relationship with our inner spirit, can lead us to the other relationships that we need in our life.
The contact.
The experience.

The Five of Wands talks about the detours and mishaps that may happen with the new relationships in our life.
The growth is always positive but sometimes we can self-sabotage our positive relationships. Sometimes we want to feel unworthy.

The Four of Wands talks about foundation. The structure and rules that come with a relationship.
We all have to set boundaries, so that we do not allow others to take advantage of us. Also, we do not want to take advantage of others.
If the rules are set in motion then we can play the game accordingly.
If boundaries are set in motion then we will know when to stay or when to leave.

Please make sure to recognize your own self-worth. If you want to move forward and the other person does not, then you have to decide if you want to keep struggling or let it go.
Be true to your-self.
Trust your inner voice.
Trust that things will work out in everyone’s favor.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Hold Out for the Real Thing

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Hold Out for the Real Thing

Photo Finish Phrase: Hold Out for the Real Thing

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.

Sacral Chakra:
Relationships are what keep us moving. We live, would die for, and sacrifice our happiness for those we love. Sometimes that same thought process is not reciprocated.
We want to be craved.
We want to be connected.
We sometimes lose sight of our own connection with Source because we want to have an earthly experience rather than a spiritual one.

Remember to take care of yourself. The greatest relationship you can have is with your own spirit. It will get you from point A to point B with clarity.
Trust in yourself.
Trust your intuition.
Remember to cut the spiritual chords with those who you do not want to be connected to. You cannot successfully proceed with a new relationship until the chapter is complete with those in the past.
Forgive those who have hurt you.
Forgive yourself for holding onto the past.
Set them free.
Set yourself free.

There are moments in our life that tie us down to the ground. We wish to fly away and experience what is in the distance. When we hold onto old relationships that have hurt us, we tie our spirit to them. We feed that situation with defeat and pain every time we think of it. This week is about creating new relationships with those who are willing to return to us the same amount of love.

Eight of Swords, Two of Cups, Nine of Wands:
Even though things may seem like a mess, in the background of life, things are working out perfectly. Gears shift and curtains are pulled back, revealing the truth of each, and every, relationship that is within your environment.

Are you fed up with your current relationship?

This happens sometimes within our life.
Sometimes our partner in crime does not want to go with the flow of energy. Sometimes we desire to move ahead rather than take a step back.
Every relationship requires some sort of compromising.
It is not bad.
Well, it feels bad when we are the ones who give in and compromise our happiness.
The cards are telling us to be strong.
Hold out for the real thing.

Is the relationship worth the struggle and the fighting?
Do you want to hold on or let go?

The cards desire change. Change in our relationships with people. How we handle the situations that keep showing up time after time.
Life after life.
The worry we create will only make the relationship seem like a burden. The only person who will carry this burden is our self.

Do you want to do all the work?

Let us play a game.
If you desire change then create it.
Make it happen.
Pave the pathway for it.
Regardless of what the other person may say. They may try to hold you down but a true friendship/lover will only encourage us to try.
To evolve.
To shine.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,

The Energy of the Week: Right Temperature

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Right Temperature

Photo Finish Phrase: Right Temperature

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 Sun:
This card is associated with light. The kind of light that shines on everything. Every bit and piece of our existence.

With the breaking down of cells and structure, we find the healing energy of light within our environment. We cannot have one without the other. We cannot have shadow without light. Breaking without healing. Pain without love.

The Sun card states to us that we are awesome.
Why is this so hard to write about?
The Sun card is about happiness but in this time of change, I can only state that happiness is simply what we make of it.

Let us look deeper into the Sun card. Let us look at the shadow side of it.
When things are awesome, we feel joy and happiness.
When things are not what they appear to be then we feel loss and insecure. We doubt every step we have taken thus far.

I want all of us to understand that Source is constantly supplying us with what is needed. It may not be what we desire at the time but with the Sun card sitting behind everything, it is exactly what we need, in order to move forward.
The key word here is ‘enjoy’.
Enjoy the time you have with those you love. Enjoy their company.
Enjoy the fact that you are alive.
Things will work out in the end and it will be in your favor.

There will be moments in life where the clouds will cover the sun. The rain will fall and the moon will shine.
One constant thought that we all must remember is that the sun is always shinning. All planets within our galaxy rotate and spin around it. Blistering and burning at the right temperature in order for our planet to thrive.

Maybe we have to find our ‘right temperature’ when around other people.
No matter what happens in our life, with the power we have within us, we must learn to shine our light on everything around us.
Just like the Sun.

Four of Coins, The Star, Justice:
Here is the Justice card, sitting pretty on her thrown. Looking at all that is taking place. Some think that it is telling us to watch out for things regarding legal matters. Some state that it is a balance of life and death.
Others have stated that Justice is about the energy we put out into the Universe.
It ripples through time and in the end, all energy returns to us.

We receive what is wanted. We receive what is needed.
With goals set in motion, we propel our lovely self into the next wave of life lessons.
We move from one to another. Some return with a vengeance. Some return with a love note attached to it stating: You are loved.

My advice, to all of us, is to keep moving and work through the crap we have unconsciously manifested in our life.
Do not try to hold onto things. Do not try to keep that which we think will save us because in the end it will only damage the very power we have within.

The three cards set before us are a weird combination. We have Karmic debt, holding onto shiny things, and looking to the future.

What do they want to tell us?

It would probably go something like this:

“My loving child. You have been putting too much energy into something that does not serve you. You have been running to the finish line, when there is no finish line to head to. You have been wanting all of this love and happiness in your life but shutting it out when it arrives. It may not look like what you have desired. Remember to always keep strong. Sometimes we have to let go of things in our life in order to move forward. Sometimes you have to remember your spiritual practice. Sometimes you have to return to that which has hurt you in order to find love again. Love is key. Love will lead you to what is desired. Love is simple. Do not worry about when or how. Do not worry about why it is not being manifested. If you take care of your lovely self then it will all turn out fine. We are watching you. We are looking out for you. Let go of the items you hold in your hand. Let go of the items that hold you down. Let go of the things that hurt you.”

This is what the cards are stating.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: No Holding Us Back

9/18/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: No Holding Us Back

Photo Finish Phrase: No Holding Us Back

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 Coins:
The week will bring in so much good and generosity. Things will be given to us and in turn we will give to others.
The cycle moves forward.
We move forward.
We will receive exactly what is needed. Source will provide. Source always provides for us.

In some way we will be given the tools to create sacred space. We will be given the tools to manifest what is needed in our life.
We will hear great news from a person we did not expect to be nice. From someone who is being humble.
This is what generosity is. It is about being humble. We are giving freely without judgement, worry, or fear.
We are giving a piece of our spirit to this person. We worked hard for the items we obtain.

Know that all things come full circle.
The person you have helped in the past will come back and give freely in the future. It may be to that stranger, who will feel humble, and give freely to you. Without judgement.
Without expectations.

Six of Cups, The Moon, Five of Wands:
The past will cause us to make a choice.
Both roads will contain detours.
Both roads will lead you to home.
The Moon card states to us that it will be a harsh road to walk. You can choose left or right but both roads will lead you to the very essence of your spirit.

Both contain a lesson.
Both contain truth.
The choice is up to us.
Do we want to see the truth?
Do we want to severe ties?

We will have conflict with what is being presented to us. Look beyond this conflict. The real lesson lies within how we will view the roads ahead of us.
Try not to focus on the bad.
Everything in this world contains some sort of shadow within in. It does not mean that it is evil or a nuisance.
With every shadow part, there is also a light.

Focus on the possibility of good on the path we are walking.
Whether it is a dark forest or an open road, we are the light bringers within our life.
When we are connected to Source, there is no holding us back.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Make-up of Our Soul

9/11/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Make-up of Our Soul

Photo Finish Phrase: Make-up of Our Soul

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 Swords:
When I see this card show up in a reading, I automatically think of sorrow, but not the usual kind of sorrow everyone is thinking of.
The sorrow I am talking about is one that takes us from the static state we are in and propels us into a new light.

Sorrow with transformation, as the end result, is a healthy sorrow. We all must grieve in our own way. We all must grieve in our own time. The key to sorrow is to not let it turn into Regret. How funny, I say the same thing with Anger.

The emotions that we experience in our life can lead to a particular energy named Regret.
Regret can keep us from spiritual growth. It can spin our wheels and create the same lesson in the future lives ahead of us.

The lesson we must keep a look out for is when sorrow begins to turn into regret.
We are not alone.
Sorrow with the loss of something is natural to feel, but in time you must learn to let that sorrow go, and focus on the greater good.

Third Eye Chakra, Eight of Wands, Justice:
Things will happen fast.
We will grow.
We will find our voice.
Through the pain and sorrow of all the bullshit in our life, we will push forward, and be great again.
I can feel it.
I can see this energy taking place at this very moment.

The three of swords is associated with the past. Regardless of where it lands, and what situation it is talking about, we find that it all has to do with the past.
The past relationships that have hurt us, the past choices we have taken, and the past hurt from others.
They all mingle and swim within the very essence of our spirit.
They make up the vessel that sits before you. They remind us of just how fucking awesome we can be.
How strong we truly can be.

All of this sits within the make-up of our soul.
If we keep trying to hold onto something that hurts us, then the three of swords will shine brighter than the sun, within our life.
It will take over. It will cause us to feel like the world is being torn apart cell by cell.
Like we are being torn apart cell by cell.
We will lose sight of the lesson.
We will lose sight of what we know.

The Justice card shows us the answer.
With every lesson we learn, a Karma is lifted. With every lesson we work through, a new path is created.
Everything will be made whole again.
Everything will come full circle.
We will break down the barriers that hold us in place.
By water, earth, or fire.
By sword, word, or stone.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Feel Connected

9/4/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Feel Connected

Photo Finish Phrase: Feel Connected
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 with full force and 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 loves.
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 into it.

Four of Cups, The Emperor, Seven of Coins:
When we decide to take charge of our life, we begin to wonder about where the things we desire will come from. Sometimes we can get lost in the ‘how’ and ‘why’. We lose sight of the goal and start to confuse the energy around us by trying to manipulate the direction of it.

As we grow strong and understand that we create the end result, and the ‘how’ and ‘why’ is supplied to us from Source, then manifesting our goal is simple.
Instead of looking at the lack of the item, we begin to state that it is already in our environment.

We must plant the seed and let it grow. Take care of it as much as we can. Tend to its simple needs and allow it to grow in its own way.
Do not get frustrated with the goal and how it is taking too long to manifest.
Do not get irritated because other items are being presented to you. Do not try and manifest the item without really being connected as well.

Connection to Source is key. When we trust that all things will work out in our favor, then we set the energy in motion to create good.

The real lesson lies in the goal itself. What are trying to manifest?

Is it to benefit your spiritual growth or simply a goal you think will make things better?

I would like to present to you a bit of homework for life.
The moment you surrender to Source and allow your day to unfold without any thought or reason, is the moment all you really desire and need is fulfilled.
For one day, just let the Spirits guide you with everyday signs and symbols that cross your path. Feel the need to go left? Then go left and see where it takes you. To feel connected to the Divine presence within you.

Maybe the spirits have been nudging you to visit a certain shop or see a certain person. If you allow things to unfold with no expectations (meaning there is no positive or negative response you are wanting from the experience) then all will come together with great joy.
You will find that Source will lead you to exactly what is needed.

How do you know if you are connected?

Simple.
You are connected when you find yourself in an environment with action happening around, and you stop for a moment to catch your breath to think ‘I am home. I am whole’.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Lost in Transformation

8/28/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Lost in Transformation

Photo Finish Phrase: Lost in Transformation
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.

Ten of Wands:
After all is said and done, we find our strength is being tested. We carry all of our shit on our back and wonder why it is so heavy.
I am going to relate the wands to stress, worry, and doubt.
Even though we set out on our journey with good intentions, along the way we pick up sticks with words and phrases on them. Words that we have scratched on them.

Words like shame, bad, not enough. They may seem small at first but with every step we take, more and more are added to the load we are carrying. Eventually we drop the good stuff and replace it with things that have no real meaning in our life.

The Ten of Wands is not a bad card.
Heck, none of the Tarot cards are bad. They simply have a dark and light side. Just like us.
Remember to let go of things that only weigh you down. If they are items that will benefit you at the end goal, then keep it and move on. Just remember that you are the one in charge of how much you can carry in one trip.

Let us look past the scene in the card. The man is making a trip to town to sell what he has created. We sometimes can think that this may be the last trip we must make in order to live happy. The Ten of Wands does not end. It start fresh again with the Ace of Wands. Everything cycles.
Remember that the sun always rises and in turn you too will rise. Do not carry too much in one day. It will leave you tired. You can always make another trip tomorrow.

What is the lesson?

Stop picking up unwanted shit along the way.
Stick to what you know.
Keep your eye set on one goal and work towards creating tools to make it happen. Do not stress over stuff you can not control at the present moment.
We all should be like the man in the card and simply focus on completing his journey for the day.

Death, Five of Coins, The Star:
Even though things are changing all around us, we have to remember where we are headed and what we plan on doing.
The goals we set for the day can get lost in transformation.
With the shedding of one skin, we lose parts of the past.
Fallen on the floor, battered and bruised, waking up to a new light.
A new person.
A new life.

When we spiritually grow, we can lose sight of the lesson that was just learned. We forget why we decided to transform into something wonderful.
We think that things will surely not get better.
Look at all that we have gone through.

Did you not see me struggle?

We have to remember that all of this growth is not for someone else to notice.
It is for our self.
It is for our spirit.
It is to be great again.

Notice that I said ‘again’.

We all are born as a wonderful being.
Loved and cared for. We contain the very essence to be worthy.
Do not worry about where and when it will happen. It will all come together if you listen to Source and allow the choices we make to lead us to the very thing we desire.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Our Own Damn Self

8/21/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Our Own Damn Self

Photo Finish Phrase: Our Own Damn Self

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 Hierophant:
Sometimes you have to return to the old things in your life in order to remember what kind of person you are and what kind of person you wish to become.
The past is simply a reflection of what was.
It has no major hold on your current self but there are moments when we must look back at our life to understand the new signs and symbols set before us on our spiritual journey.

Judgement, The Star, Six of Cups:
Once the process of transformation takes place, we will find our current self in a state of growth. We hope, we pray, and we beg for the process to speed up.
The process is evolving, unfolding with every step we take. When we rise out of the ashes of the fire of destruction, our body is still burning. Our heart is still on fire.
We must not give up on that which we desire. To change. To be free.
Things that require us to find our inner spirit, also require us to give shit up.

To let shit go.

To get rid of the very thing that holds us down.

Sometimes that very thing is our own damn self.
We have allowed our spirit and body to be purged of all the nasty gunk that surrounds us.
So, let it burn.
Let is cinder in the dark of night.

Remember when you were a child and we were determined to be a Rockstar or an actor/actress?

Do you remember when we set goals in place to get us to the next level of that status?

This week will require to return to that state of determination. To tell the Universe “this is what I desire and this will take place”.
Understand, that with the purging of the old, there will be so much room for the new.
New information.
New friendships.
New love.
It is time to set forth on the old adventure with a new destination and with the ability to start over, containing the knowledge of the past, we will be indestructible.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Balance of Light

8/14/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Balance of Light

Photo Finish Phrase: Balance of Light and Dark

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 Chariot:
the steps we take to create our goal into reality can be jumbled. One must have focus in order to create what is desired. Without balance of light and dark one can get lost within the thoughts of what others think. Remember to go at your own pace and move forward with the intent of good. Your goal can only be reached by action on your part.

The Star, Seven of Swords, Six of Swords:
There will be distractions that will try and take your mind off of what you desire. Do not let them steal your happiness away. You must trust your intuition with the choices you have to make this week. Do not let the opinion of others stop you from reaching your goal. Do not focus on the “No”. It will only cause you to doubt every step you have decided to take up to now. Focus on the delight of the journey. Look at the positive progress you have had so far. If the “No” was really a no, then you would be back at the beginning.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron
