The Energy of the Week: This Victory

Photo Finish Phrase: This Victory

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 Wands:
The key word for this card is Victory. It means that we will overcome any obstacles that we are faced with. They may be large and overbearing but we have come out as a champion.
This does not mean we are unscathed.
This card is about returning home in one piece. We arrive at our rest stop with a chance to heal and be whole again.

Understand that we have just come out of battle. We have just taken our power back. Sometimes we are left bruised and bleeding on the side of the road at 2 am in the morning. We hold strong and fight for our life.
With the aid of others, we return to our loved ones. We come home with the knowledge of battle.

Understand that we must return with an open heart. Do not return with a mind set of battle. Do not bring the battle to your place of comfort.
Leave it on the battlefield where you left your obstacle. If you bring it into your house, then be warned, it will start to take on a life of its own. It will start to take over your spirit and create the same battlefield that you just left.
Rejoice in the thought that you have conquered a person, place, or thing but leave it where it lays.
Celebrate with an open heart and open mind. Allow more good things to enter into your life. When you do this you leave no space for negativity.

Ace of Cups, Page of Cups, Nine of Coins:
This group of cards state to me that our victory will lead to more wonderful things. We will be taken care of. We will understand that Source is guiding us to the exact spot that we are to arrive at. With a lot of surprises in the air we will be presented with so many opportunities this week.
Enjoy them.
Relish in them.
Choose wisely.
Do not try to take on all of them. Pick one that suits your needs and move forward with a heart full of hope.
The others will be there later.

Nothing will be taken from you. Good cannot be taken away from you unless you allow it to be taken away.
Allow the good to flow in. To enter into our life with great possibility.
Do not let it bog you down or overwhelm you. This is our Ego advising us that we are not good enough. Brush it aside and dive right in.

Do not forget to prepare yourself for the adventure. Take with you the items and love that will be needed in order to move forward on your spectacular journey. Know that you are blessed. Know that you are worthy of this victory.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Appreciate the Love

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Appreciate the Love

Photo Finish Phrase: Appreciate the Love

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 Emperor:
The lesson associated with this card is about taking charge of your life. It is about ruling the very air around us with an iron fist.
This card is associated with the archetype known as “The Father Figure”.
Oh George Michael.

We sometimes see a father figure as cruel and cold. It can mean that there is no feeling behind his actions.
This is not true.
The Father is here to take care of us.
He may rule everything with an iron fist but there is a reason as to why he is looked at as cruel or without heart.

I am going to associate The Emperor with the Justice card. They both rule the Universe with an attitude of “What you put out, you get back”.
There are people in our life that do not have the capacity to love as Light Workers love. They can not illuminate a room with just the smile on their face. The Emperor does not understand a grey area. The Emperor only understands light and dark.

Maybe we are in certain people’s life so that they can have balance. Sometimes the Light Worker is there to share their gift of seeing in the grey with the Emperor archetype.
Sometimes we take on the Emperor attitude and do not even notice that we are ruling our life with an iron fist.
Sometimes we have to be cold and unattached so that the person in front of us will have to spread their wings and eventually fly.

Queen of Cups, Nine of Coins, The Fool:
With the energy of the Emperor, we move into the realm of power and personal goals. We set the tone of our environment. We pick the soundtrack of our life. The songs are peculiar in choice because with every step we are singing a new song. We create the harmony and set the melody to every person that walks into our life.

With the Queen of Cups, we see a new energy enter into our life. It is dark and yet passionate. The energy is of female descent but can be a male or a female.
She may be us.
We may be her.
In the end, we may find that we are no different.

Be prepared for a party.
Be prepared for great news.
Be prepared for a new adventure.
Do not shy away from it. Enjoy the time with your friends.
They may just bring you back to a state of worthiness.

We must always remember to appreciate the love that is around us. Do not take it for granted. Know that there is always more to come but live for this moment of happiness. It may be as simple as a piece of chocolate cake that is made from a special friend.
It may be as grand as a night out with those you love. Either way, appreciate every moment and know that there are always going to be great times ahead.
The journey may be scary.
The first step may be a big one, but with the energy of the Queen of Cups, you will find personal star power hidden within the scars of your heart.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Feed the Fire

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Feed the Fire

Photo Finish Phrase: Feed the 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.

Page of Wands:
We will receive information regarding a great opportunity. It will be stated to us from another person. As if it was meant to fall right into our lap.
I can see sand and dirt all around us but with great power we can manifest an oasis. We contain the information and power to create sacred space.

The Page of Wands is fire power in the raw. Untapped and not yet wielded. It is there to manifest for good or bad. It is simply power within our hands. It can be manipulated to take on any form. Sort of like someone using flint and stone to create fire. It starts small and it is up to the person, who cast it, to either keep the fire raging or die down to an ember.

This is the spark of life that is needed sometimes to keep us going in the right direction.
The information will be by word of mouth. It will be through the sparks and cracks the fire makes.
We simply have to listen.

The Hanged Man, The Emperor, Six of Wands:
We will sacrifice in order to create.
Look at all the Major Arcana cards in our weekly reading. So much male energy and power. So much greatness sitting in the very spot we have arrived at.

We will need to make a decision this week about what we want to do and how we will obtain it. Something will need to be given up.
We will receive what is needed by doing this. We must take charge of our life.
Victory is in the future.
Do not worry or have self doubt.
It is a waste of your time.

There is not much more I can say about the week. Just know that it will be filled with great opportunities and wonderful surprises. They will only contain good within them. Just remember that you have to nourish the fire. We must feed it so that it can stay lit.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Still Human

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Still Human

Photo Finish Phrase: Still Human

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 but the lesson is not that the law is after for 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 back to us the very essence of our being.
This is Justice in my mind.

Five of Wands, Eight of Swords, Six of Wands:
With every change in season, there are new distractions to face. New distractions to get over and conquer.
With every step forward, you will be placed in the perfect position of greatness. You may think that nothing is taking place this week but a lot is happening behind the curtain of life. Things are moving and changing with every breath you take.

Please be kind on your spirit. Understand that struggles happen all the time. If you get sucked into the fight of he said/she said, then you will find yourself in a whole lot of trouble. Conflict is only a conflict if you decide to play the game that they have set forth.
Just know that if you understand the rules then you can play any game set before you. Make it fun.
The lesson here is to keep it light.
They only have power over you, if you allow them to.
I think people forget this.

Some try to make you look bad or think they can talk to you in a certain way. They think that it is okay to be awful and cruel, so that they can reflect their pain on you.
So much energy is wasted on trying to make people happy. We should be using that energy on our self.
Empowerment works both ways.

I keep stating to the people I love that if I am not completely whole and complete, functioning at 100%, then I am useless to those around me. I need to know when I must take a break, find my center, and become the light again.
Some people want us to be functioning at 110% all the time. They expect us to be bright and beautiful but they forget that a light worker is still human.

The spirit may be of the light but the body is not.
As a light worker, we need to find our time to reenergize and feel beautiful again. To return to center and start over.
Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Set on Fire

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Set on Fire

Photo Finish Phrase: Set on 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.

Ace of Wands:
Moments take place and moments disappear. The Ace of Wands brings in a time of passion and fire. It inspires us to move forward and opens up doors to new possibilities. Be prepared to dance, sing, and create such wonderful things in our life. Not everything must be stated with a monotone voice. Sometimes we have to express it through the mystical arts.

To cast a spell of success would be my first weapon of choice.
The person you need to be watching out for is you.
Do not worry about what others have in their hands. Looks can be deceiving.
Your first step towards greatness will be set on fire.

Remember that even when a great fire has been set ablaze the after math will leave the earth renewed and ready to grow. Ancient civilizations use to do this method. Burn what is dead and overgrown in order to create.
In order to produce new life.
Sometimes we have to burn the sludge of energy around us in order to produce new energy. To clear away the dirt and grime so that we can move forward into a new light. Into a new space of alchemical energy.

Knight of Cups, The Devil, Queen of Wands:
Do not be fooled by what a person may offer you. Just like the apple in the movie ‘Snow White’, looks can be deceiving.
So much energy in our environment this week. Be careful. Do not give into the lies and temptations of others.
They know how to weave a wonderful spell of deception. Stay strong and keep the charm of mystical destruction up and running.
Break through their words and see the true nature of what they have to offer.
In doing this you will find that truth is revealed. If they choose to lie then you will see right through it. If they choose to deceive then the plans created will be thwarted.

I am not stating that we all should be on guard 24/7. I am advising all of us to stay true to our self. Listen to our Inner Being. Listen to our Higher Self. Understand that we are moving forward and everyone else, who is not, is trying to hold us down.
If they are your friend or lover, then they will understand your thought process and determination.
Just be cautious and understanding. Do not judge or blame.

This week will be about the constant struggle we have with wanting to be loved by others and the real truth of not loving our self.
This is the year of love for our perfect self.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Go with the Flow of Love

4/17/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Go with the Flow of Love

Photo Finish Phrase: Go with the Flow of Love

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 Lovers:
Decisions.
Choices.
Love.
Hope.

When this card comes up in a reading, I usually lean towards a decision. It will contain love and hope within the choice. Sometimes we struggle with the choice.
To make life better.
To create good.
Sometimes we have to give up the love of another so that we can move forward with our own self-worth.
It is almost as if the card is detailing the constant struggle with our positive/negative thoughts that swim around in our mind.

My advice, to you, is to not worry about making the choice. Do not worry about the outcome. Understand that you will be guided by Source to make the most efficient choice that will lead you to good.
We want to know what will take place. When it comes to relationships, we want to know exactly what the other person is thinking, but it is not for us to know. We are to take care of our own self. We are to take care of who we are and where we are going. If the other person wants to participate, then spectacular. If they choose not to participate then we must kiss them on the lips and allow them to create their own reality.

Queen of Cups, Two of Coins, Ten of Swords:
Since the Lovers card is coming up within the reading, I would have to state that these cards are talking about letting go and moving forward.
Things will happen in a certain way this week. Accept it. If you do not accept what is being given then you will be going against the flow of energy. All that will get you is more of stuff you don’t want.
Everything in life must contain balance.

Be cautious with your time, money, and energy. Know when to cut energy chords from those that do not want listen to your sound advice.
I always state to people, that are not ready to hear the truth, to keep on moving with that exact frame of mind in order to receive the same outcome. Some will ask what I mean and others will get upset.
It is not my job to change their mind. It is not my job to get them unstuck when they want to be stuck.
It is my job to aid them in their spiritual process. By advising them on what will happen if they keep making the same choices in their life. I also advise them on what will take place if they change their train of thought and make choices based off of clarity and truth.

The choice is yours. The decision must come from your mouth. Statements on what is wanted and desired must be put out into the Universe. You must know that it will all take place at the perfect moment, in the most perfect way.
If you want change to take place then stop feeling sorry for your-self. Work through your shit storm. Stop blaming others for what is taking place. Stop shutting yourself out from the good around you.
Go with the flow of energy.
Go with the flow of the Universe.
Go with the flow of love.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Follow Your Heart

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Follow Your Heart

Photo Finish Phrase: Follow Your Heart

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.

Eight of Cups, Seven of Cups, Eight of Swords:
We will be pulled in many different directions. We will feel stuck. We will feel as if nothing is taking place.
This week is about our mental state. What we are choosing to have in our life and what we are not choosing to have in our life. Sometimes we want to hold onto things in order to feel safe.
Sometimes we want to let go of things in order to feel free.

This week is about analyzing who we are and what we want to do.
Do not get flustered at all the options in front of you. Choose one that will benefit you in the end. Choose one that satisfies your desire. Follow your heart.
Know that everything will work out in your favor. It may seem like nothing is happening but behind every curtain there is a new scene. There is a new act.
Waiting is part of the suspense.
Things need to be moved and rearranged in the background so that the next act in your life will run smoothly.

Try not to give too much of your energy to others unless you desire to be switched to “on” all the time.
Even healers and beings of light need to be refreshed.
Take time throughout the day to meditate and take care of the vessel your spirit resides in.
Energize your soul with music and laughter.
Rest.
Sleep.
Be you.
Know that you are more than enough and that everything works out in your favor.
Things will take place very slowly this week. Allow people and situations to take place. Know that it will all work out and that we will be guided by Source to the exact perfect spot.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Troubled Water

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Troubled Water

Photo Finish Phrase: Troubled Water

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.

King of Swords:
I associate the King of Swords with the astrological sign of Libra. The archetype that I associate with this sign is “The Lover”. We seek to be in love. To be with someone who is as wonderful as we are. To be loved just as much as we love them. The energy that the King of Swords contains is full of knowledge. They will see everything in a fair manner. They desire to see both sides of the story before making a decision. They fight with words of truth and contain only the facts.
Make sure to hold onto valuable information before proceeding with your next strike.

There is a negative aspect to this card.
Obsession can take on a life of its own. To be around others even though they wish to not be with us. Sometimes you have to allow people their own space. Sometimes we need our own space. Others will simply have to understand. It does not mean that we do not love them or that we are not loved as well. It simply means that we know when we have to take care of our own stuff in order to aid others.

Six of Swords, Three of Coins, Four of Swords:
The details will be a little short this week.
Move.
Dance.
Conjure.
The spirits want us to know that we are being observed. What we have worked so hard in will be recognized. We will be acknowledged for the good we have created.

We have to remember that we must take care of our wonderful self. Take care of our spirit.
If we do not do this then we will constantly be in troubled water. The water will sway back and forth.
We will eventually get sick.

Try to move to smoother water.
Try to maintain balance.
Even if it means that you have to lay down and rest while the world keeps on moving. Do not worry. You will not miss anything important. Sometimes you have to retreat into the shadow in order to understand the nature of the light.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: I'm Alive

3/27/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: I'm Alive

Photo Finish Phrase: I’m Alive

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.

Five of Coins:
When we feel lost, there is a sinking feeling in our stomach that almost feels like we just ate a crayon. That feeling where you are not ready to throw up or take a dump. Confusion on which end it will come out. All we know is that we want it to happen now.
Sometimes this feeling happens to our spirit.

We get lost on our spiritual highway. The Five of Coins is related to money but we must look deeper at the cards. Money is just an energy. It is an item that we all crave on a primal level. It supports us on our journey but it is not a lifeline.

There are moments that we get lost within the shuffle of our life. Bills, doubt, fear, and over indulgence can cause us to lose money. Things change with every moment.
What is the lesson for this card?
When we are lost in the forest and feel as if we are never going to get out, we must look within. We must settle in our personal power and listen.

Source is talking to us. Source is whispering to us in the dark. Source is supplying us with the answers to our issues.
Can you hear Source?
Source is advising us that we are worthy of good.
We are strong.
We are awesome.
We can do it.
Even through all this change and hardship, we are still alive.

The Devil, Eight of Coins, Three of Cups:
I decided to label my entries by the lesson card. We have the Five of Coins above with a lesson about feeling lost. This will rarely change. The lessons in life are all tied in to each other and often return with a loud bark and shallow bite. I will be recycling the lesson part of the readings but still channel the message for the detail cards.

Here is the Devil sitting pretty and light. With the thought of feeling lost in our mind we can get tied down. The rock that we are laced to is only an object. The rope that holds us is only energy. If you learn to break through the chord of energy then movement will soon follow.
What if you still feel fear in movement?
What if your body decides that it needs the chord of energy, tied to the rock, to be worthy?

Sometimes our body wants to stay in the comfortable place of being stagnant. It does not know what to do with itself.
It gets scared.
We get scared.
If you choose to look at the glass as half empty then no one will come along and fill it up.
If you choose to look at the glass as half full, then surely Source will pour more of that sun-filled lemon aid in your glass. That wonderful stuff that keeps us happy and beautiful.

If the storm begins to cause havoc in your life, then rejoice in the fact that we are not in a drought anymore. That there will be an abundance of power and energy all around us. Do not be tempted in returning to the old you.
When I look at these cards I think of the song by E.L.O in the move Xanadu, called “I’m Alive”
It is about being alive again for the first time, as if it was something we knew was there all along, and at times that we are clear and full of love, we feel out of place.

When you begin to have this feeling of “out of place” remember that it is just the simple fact that your spirit is already at its destination and your body is slowly catching up.
Step into the light once more and feel alive again.
Step into the light and feel renewed.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Ignoring Sound Advice

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Ignoring Sound Advice

Photo Finish Phrase: Ignoring Sound Advice

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. You may not hear what you want to hear but it will be words that are needed to get past the obstacle on your spiritual path.

The Wheel of Fortune, Two of Swords, Two of Cups:
The cards spell out the word “balance”.
Everything goes up and everything eventually goes down. Sometimes we get stuck on feeling that the season of summer will never end.
The Queen of swords will tell you that it does.
Do not worry. The greatest lesson you can learn in this life is to get through the harsh times of winter, to develop your greatest skills during the changing leaves in fall, and give all your power to your goal in spring.
It can’t always be summer but if you have the spiritual balance in your life it can seem like it, even when winter is throwing shade at your spiritual path.

Sometimes there are phases in our life that always take place. There is always a heatwave, a drought, and a monsoon, but with every shadow side (and I use shadow because nothing is ever truly negative and dark. It still contains some light within it and that light is truth) there is always April showers, cool summer days, and an aurora borealis.

Balance is always in order within this world. We may think it is not for all we can sometimes see is the shadow side of things.
Your homework for life is to change your thought process.
Look beyond the dark side of the impending doom feeling within the pit of your stomach. Understand that with every “negative” item in this world that takes place, a positive must be born.

We may view it as chaos within the world with all the in balance of weather and unkind humans, but what we view as chaos, the spiritual world views it as a perfect cycle. A circle of birth and death. Bad things will happen.

It is written in every text that shit just takes place without rhyme or reason but what we tend to forget is we are reborn.
With death, there is a birth.
We prove this in spiritual theory by remembering who we have been in past lives.
We would have no recollection of what we have done (when we become spiritually conscious) in our past lives.
We understand that we are born again to take on the karmic lessons of our past actions.
To evolve. T
o remember just how spectacular, we are.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron
