The Energy of the Week: Sit 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.

Death:
The Death card usually means “transformation” in a reading.
This card contains the element of change. As it enters our environment it begins to decay and breakdown the vessel.
Sometimes we allow the change to take place and sometimes we deny it.
It begins to stink.
Sometimes we allow the change to take place and it swallows us whole. We allow it to just take over our life. Death can be tricky. Maybe there are people in our life that suck the very essence out of who we are and when the power is turned around, they look at us like we are the villains.
We move from one energy to another.
They crave for the very existence because they do not understand that they are unworthy at that moment of passion.

Death requires us to change.
To rearrange our priorities.
Sometimes Death requires us to become something greater than what we are.
Death reminds us that we live within a vessel that will eventually expire.
Death also states to us that with every changing second the present becomes the past, as it starts to become a memory.
Things must change and the Death cards reminds us of that very presence when it enters into a reading.

We must not fear the Death card.
We must not fear the presence of Death around us.
Transform with the new energy that is presented in the future.
Transform with the energy of Death, for only good can come from the struggle of shedding one skin to another.

The Devil, Nine of Wands, Seven of Swords:
Temptation is calling to us from behind.
It whispers with small actions of stalling and laziness.
Temptation to return to the old shadow side of life, where we dwell in the darkness of pain and suffering.

The Nine of Wands talks about mending the wounds we have at the moment and resting to gather more energy.
To gather more power for the coming steps on our journey.

The Seven of Swords reminds us to watch out for lost items and unspoken words. Things can be kept hidden under the piles of dirty laundry in our closet.
We forget, we dismiss, for what has happened in the past can not happen again.
We think differently but act the same, as the past enters into our life, laughing and creating the same old problems.
We have learned this lesson before.
We feel the cauldron bubbling in the background.
We sense what must be done, but are we strong enough yet to banish that which has caused us pain?

We are strong enough.

The cards would like to leave us with a little bit of advice:

“Sit back and enjoy the ride as the past slips silently out the back door, unnoticed, not acknowledged, and ignored.”

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Heart Beats Away

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Heart Beats Away

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:
Remember to be prepared for your grand adventure. The lists you created last week will prepare you for the journey you are on.
What will you be bringing?
What will you need?

Take care of the vessel that carries us from point A to point B.
This card is talking about movement forward. The ability to maintain the very vessel that we own.
It may be your car.
It may be an airplane.
It may be your body.
It is the only vessel that you own in full. It is not on lay away. It is not on lease. You are the owner of your body and taking care of it is a requirement this week.
Be kind to your body.
Be kind to your soul.
Heal and take care of them both this week.
It is needed.

When this card comes into a reading, we find that our journey is not over.
There are still more steps to take.
We find that the card can also represent our body.
The health and maintenance of the vessel that our spirit has chosen to reside in.
We forget about taking care of our self.
We forget to eat properly, exercise, or rest.
When we do this, the vessel will start to slow down. We will feel tired and unmotivated.
When we take care of our vessel, we move toward our goal with great momentum. We find that things run smooth and stuff just works out in our favor, for we are listening to our joints and bones.

Page of Wands, Five of Cups, Ten of Coins:
There are moments that we feel lost within our new environment.
I think you will hear a lot about my move to Reno, NV, because this year has been all about my new journey.
There is no time for sadness. Now that good things are taking place, I must move with the flow of energy.
But there are still times that I miss my family and friends.
I miss the Friday late nights of laughing and dancing with my besties.
I miss the Sunday family gatherings and also being five minutes away from each other.

When we move from one place to another and find that we are not running from our past, then we sometimes take on a state of depression. We miss the past and at times feel that we have neglected the time spent with those we love.
It happens.

The cards speak of words spoken out loud that reach us through the astral chord we have attached to our friends and family.
They would not want us to be sad.
They only want us to succeed.
We miss them in the process of movement forward, but we must keep in mind that we wish them only the best as well.
We are only heart beats away from each other spiritually.
I feel that the cards are telling us to send love to them in the moments of silence and peace, in the moments of happiness and joy.
Expand our energy to them as they expand their energy to us.
We blend and melt, creating love that moves out into the Universe.
We whisper words of hope to them.
Words that speak of only good and love.
Words that speak of only greatness.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Heal Me

5/6/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Heal Me

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 a 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 certain type of 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.

Knight of Coins, Temperance, Ace of Cups:
This week is about healing.
Love in action.
Feeling the love around us and sending that love back out into the Universe.

Healing takes place the moment we let go of the pain and regret that we have built up within our spirit.
With the Three of Swords blending in with the other cards, we find that regret is slipping in our aura through some small hole.
Maybe we are not allowing things to be processed and transformed.
Maybe we are holding on to the stuff that holds us down beneath the surface of the water. It grips our feet and pulls us to the bottom, hoping that we will eventually stop struggling.

This week, we must cut the ties to the past and allow the energy to be processed.
If the Three of Swords is the pain that we feel when hurt by those we love, then Temperance is the healing process.
If we were playing a game, then Temperance would trump the Three of Swords.
Maybe the situation we are in is associated to a game.
We learn the rules, we roll the dice, we move the correct amount forward, and we pick up the chance card.
We teach our children that it is only a game and if we happen to receive news that does not agree with our vibration, then we look at it in a negative manner.
The cards are advising us to look at the “negative” situation in a different light.
Temperance teaches us that healing is always taking place within us. Sometimes we do allow the healing to take place because we think we are not worthy, but we are.
It is time to accept the healing energy around us and start to live again.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: How Great

4/29/2019

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 Coins:
The Knight of Coins is an energy card.
This is action.
Movement towards a material goal.
The physical body in motion.
Work.

This card represents the sign of Virgo. The Overseer. Management.
A person who understands the development of time and space.
Knowledge in action.
Perception in progress.

This card would be a strong young person in their 20’s who wish to be as great a leader as the King of Coins.
This card could be a strong lover who wishes only to create a long and lasting relationship with prosperity as the foundation.
This card can be the energy that we need to take on in order to meet our goals.

Funny how as human beings we cling to money in order to be happy.
Money is nice but it is not everything.
Sometimes we have to create a backup plan.
Sometimes we have to plow the field our damn self. Sometimes we have to plant the fucking seed, talk nice to it 24/7, and water the fuck out of it.
Sometimes we are the only ones who will see it grow. Sometimes it is for others to see progress.
There are moments in our life that require us to lay the foundation out for others. Like a person who only knows one part of a trade.
To build a house, takes a lot of hands.
Some workers never see the completion of the house because they are off working on other projects. They come in, do the work, and set off on their merry way.
They would be the Knight of Coins because they have a set skill to help a project get completed, but really never stay around to make sure it turns out correct.

This card represents the overseeing of projects within the scope of our practice. This card has strength and power behind it. As if the Knight is telling us to help or get out of the way.

Two of Cups, Seven of Cups, The Hierophant:
The past will not leave us alone.
I was recently talking to a friend about the past. It sometimes lingers in the shadow parts of our life. We move forward and when great things take place, the past we try to forget, creeps back in.
It presents us with a choice, to sit in the past and complain or move forward with our life, understanding that the past is done.
If we are to hold on to the past, then things begin to linger and return. We complain that stuff is just not going our way.
We throw our goals out the window and start to focus on the things we do not contain within our environment.
We start to think that advancing forward is just too much work, and we become comfortable.

If we decide to move forward then the past takes on an action form. It represents a lesson that we must learn. Now a life lesson doesn’t just go away after we have learned it.
The lesson returns at times to remind us of the reason for our existence on this earthly plain.
We accept the change that is being presented to us and push forward into the great unknown.

There are going to be relationships that will also return to us, like the missing socks that disappear for no reason as we wash them, they return to be present and complete our journey.
Sometimes they return multiple times and in the process we give in a little less to their gravitational pull.
We set our goals, once again, and state to the Universe that this will be the time of greatness, and the Universe responds with peace and love.
The Universe acknowledges our passion and smiles, for it knows just how great we can be.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Appreciate

4/22/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Appreciate

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:
Remember to be prepared for your grand adventure. The lists you created last week will prepare you for the journey you are on.
What will you be bringing?
What will you need?

Take care of the vessel that carries us from point A to point B.
This card is talking about movement forward. The ability to maintain the very vessel that we own.
It may be your car.
It may be an airplane.
It may be your body.
It is the only vessel that you own in full. It is not on lay away. It is not on lease. You are the owner of your body and taking care of it is a requirement this week.
Be kind to your body.
Be kind to your soul.
Heal and take care of them both this week.
It is needed.

When this card comes into a reading, we find that our journey is not over.
There are still more steps to take.
We find that the card can also represent our body.
The health and maintenance of the vessel that our spirit has chosen to reside in.
We forget about taking care of our self.
We forget to eat properly, exercise, or rest.
When we do this, the vessel will start to slow down. We will feel tired and unmotivated.
When we take care of our vessel, we move toward our goal with great momentum. We find that things run smooth and stuff just works out in our favor, for we are listening to our joints and bones.

Wheel of Fortune, Three of Cups, The Emperor:
This is good.
Three cards that solidify the great things around us.
In celebration we take charge of the situation and cause the wheel of destiny to turn, bringing in the season of summer.
The Chariot will take us to our destination and the three cards are stating the destination will contain some sort of celebration.
What is it?

Appreciate.
We must appreciate the things around us.
When we do this act of joy, we recognize the good around us.
We allow the good to enter the environment that we have created. The wheel is turning, and we are moving with it. Accept the circumstance that is being presented to us, so we can move forward and receive an answer. There is only good around us. We must recognize this statement and the good will flood in to our life.
We are worthy of great things.

The Wheel of Fortune is stating this to us as it turns from one stage to another.
There may be a time of winter before the sun shines again upon our life. This is a time to reflect.
Maybe we need to hibernate in a cave at times, to find our center.
We must stand strong in our faith.
We know that things will work out in our favor.
This week we must appreciate the little things in our life, so that more good things will take place.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Great Passion

4/15/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Great Passion

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 Swords:
When this card comes into a reading, we think of deception and lies.
It portrays a thief coming in and stealing some of the swords in the dark of night, leaving a few behind.
Five to be exact are what they carry away. They look back to see the other two sitting close by.
To take the other two or not.
This is the feeling of loss and regret.
Let us look beyond the card. Sometimes we get greedy and we get caught up in the mix of fixing things.
Since this is a sword card, it deals with our emotion, thoughts, and communication.
A conversation taking place, but the truth not being spoken.

We think of deceit and lies because the truth is not being spoken, or an idea is being hidden in the dark.
This card can also take on the form of plots planned against us.
I don’t want to lead you down the shadow side of this card, because then that is all we will focus on, the lack of.
We look to the cards that lay around for the truth to be found.
The truth is always present and if we think that we are being lied to, then we also know what is really being said to us.
We also do not want to keep things to our self as a secret in fear that others will spoil our plans.
Bring things into the light.
If theft is taking place then know that the truth will be left behind in the process of getting out of the situation quick.
I also want to mention that this card words both ways. We also must speak our truth to others. This card is about the nature of being passive aggressive.
Even if we are to keep things in the shadow, eventually the truth will be revealed by the light of the morning sun.

Five of Coins, Four of Cups, Six of Cups:
Here we see the loss of things.
The loss of things due to holding on too tight to the past.
The week is filled with opportunities to shine and be great, but we waste them due to fear.
Maybe we were made fun of at one time for shinning our light on this world.
Maybe we were denied love at some point in a relationship and our unworthiness settled within the memory.

This week is about honesty and communication of the things we hide in the shadows.
It is time to bring them into the light.
We have been holding on to them for far too long.
They have grown roots within our heart and shaded the ground we walk upon, stopping the flowers from blooming.
Stopping our goals from blooming and receiving the nutrition needed to grow.
We have been holding on to the past and not allowing things to change.
We have been trying to stop the world from turning, in fear of only good taking place.

It is time to allow the change to take place.
The Five of Coins is talking about loss of material things, but we must look deeper into the card.
This card talks about not seeing the truth in our environment.
As we move forward there will be a point in time when we reach a road block on our journey and we must let go of the past in order to move forward. We have to let go of the things that hold us back. They may be loved ones, old lessons, or an old way of thinking.
They will not be discarded and never looked at again. The past has a funny way of returning at the most opportune time.
For right now we are to let it go, so that we can break free from our own small box, and move forward with great passion.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Spark of Life

4/8/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Spark of Life

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 open the 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 must 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 must 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 alchemist energy.

King of Wands, The Star, Three of Swords:
Last week talked about the act of forgiving others as well as our self, and this week is talking about the work we must put in to the process of moving forward, so that we can achieve our goals.

We forgive and let go.
In this act, we release that which is holding us back.
Now we push forward through all the obstacles set before us, created by our own insecurity, and we challenge our Ego.
We know that we are creators of only good.
The goal we put out into the Universe is starting to manifest.

The King of Wands is reminding us to stop complaining about the past.
We hold strong like an Aries on a mission.
We point our finger North and state “I will be whole at the end of this journey”.
When the King of Wands shows up, I reminded of all the Aries that are in my life.
Strong, bold, and passionate about what they love.
They think in a business like fashion at times. They have taught me that every point in time is an opportunity to shine and show others the gift of fire.
They rule their environment with fire and can lead a group into success.

Let us take on this great energy and power.
Ignite the spark of life in our projects and know that we are fighting for our light to shine bright.
We do this not for others but of our own self-worth.
For we are great beings of light.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: A Letter

4/1/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: A Letter

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 have to keep in mind, is that, the Devil is not here to cause problems. It is here to cause us to really take a 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 you have to 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 make a decision 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 take a 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.

Page of Swords, Temperance, Justice:
There are moments in our life that we must face our past consequences that have developed with the choices we have made.
Communication is key.
We must talk through the trouble.
We must speak of the heartache.
Past transactions against others who we thought we loved.
Past actions with those we thought we disliked.

I feel like this week is about the words we have spoken to others in the past.
It is time to forgive.
It is time to ask for forgiveness.
We must write a letter to those we have hurt, with words of sympathy and explanation of why we did what we did.
Maybe we need the same letter or message sent to us by those who have passed.
The dead will speak once more.

Be prepared for spirit to speak to us about the healing process.
Be prepared to forgive those who have passed on.
Remember that we are here to learn and understand.
We all make mistakes.
We all do things with an intent of good but sometimes our action turns sour.
It is time to speak to the Universe and state “I am letting all of this go”.

Once this happens we begin the healing process and in turn we start to transform for the better.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: To the Ground

3/25/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: To the Ground

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 Cups:
Some consider this card to be a child. Others have viewed this card as raw power.
Untapped.
Unknown.
I was taught to view this card as a surprise of love.
A gift of love, given to us by those who are around us. We have to view this gift as a kind gesture. It is a surprise that we did not expect.
It is magic.
It is creativity.
This surprise of love could be a hug from a friend.
The surprise of love could be a romantic love interest spilling the beans about how they feel.

When we look at this card we see water. Water within the cup. Water from the beach scene. This is power that is not yet developed.
A witch barely coming into their power.
The beginning.
This card could take on the form of unexpected love. This card could take on the form of pregnancy. What do we do with all that untapped power?
We learn to harness it and move forward with the energy of the knight.
Action.
But that is for another card.

Sometimes there is a bird that is flying out of the cup. Sometimes there is a fish.
Regardless, the meaning is still the same. They represent our desire manifested and made whole. What we divine in the cup, shall come to life and take form. We were simply trying to focus and with great surprise we manifested exactly what we desired. Sometimes what we divine as the future can take place instantly, if we understand that we are worthy.

Nine of Swords, Eight of Swords, The Lovers:
The Lovers card brings in the energy of choices.
Yes it deals with relationships but it also talks about choosing the path of light or the path of shadow.
Notice I did not use the word “dark”.
As we examine the options that are set before us, we notice that one will have a positive effect and the other will contain a shadow effect.
It is up to us to decide what path we will walk.

Let us focus on what may take place this week once a decision is made.
We may find that there will be a moment of non-movement.
We will feel as if nothing is taking place.
We may find that things are coming to an end. That we cut ties with the items and people that do not serve us.
We must allow things to take place.
As I write this, I find that it is the end of the month soon. Change the thought of defeat to the thought of another opportunity will be presented to us soon.
The Nine of Swords shows us a picture of a person laying face down in the mud. Nine swords stick out of their back.
Is this person really at an end?

What we do not see is the Ace of Swords approaching once more.
The number one.
A new beginning.
It may feel as if things have beat us to the ground. It may feel like there is no way out, but the Universe has a way of lifting us up again and preparing us for what is to come.
We create the obstacles in front of us by the thoughts that we think, and we an also break them down.
This week is about contemplation.
As we tie up lose ends in our life, we prepare for the good that will enter.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Keen Eye

3/18/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Keen Eye

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.

Judgement:
Here is the card associated with the statement “rising up from the flames”. The Judgement card is dealing with a change in direction. Waking up from the dream.
Understanding the dream.
Understanding our true self.

When this card plays a part in a reading, the person must have evaluated their phase of the “Death” card and decided to listen to the transformation that has taken place.
The person may be changing their way of thinking and also the direction they are traveling.
Th card usually has a picture of people sleeping in their graves and Archangel Gabriel blowing a trumpet to wake them up from their slumber.
They wake up because it is time to rise again and live in the new Earth.
New.

We walk forward and enter the Judgement card to find out just what we are made up of.
The card is advising us to wake up from the slumber we have put our self into.
We sleep to find strength.
We rest our body for the coming of a new day.
We transform from one person into another, to understand.
The Judgement card is that new understanding taking place in this world.
From spiritual to corporal.
Here we must apply those new found skills into our life, for Source wants us to develop and grow.

Eight of Cups, Nine of Cups, Justice:
We seek for a new experience with our own self love.
We seek for a new experience with the relationships within our life.
Here is our journey.
We walk into the forest to find clarity.
To understand.

Universal Law will be playing a part with the energy of the week.
What we put out, we will get back.
The Justice card can sometimes take on court and law, but this week is about the law that governs our spirit.

Here we set an intention out into the open.
We create the big bang needed to manifest the goal into our existence.
The Universe responds and we receive.
Is it what we truly desired?
Sometimes we want with great intention, something that we think will complete our collection within our spirit.
Sometimes we desire a material object or person, and the Universe responds, bringing it closer to our environment.
We examine the object with a keen eye, looking for imperfections, for we are only human.
We find the imperfections and state to the Universe, “this is broken, just like me”
We fling the item back into the astral plane and begin again.

We are no different with our current self.
We examine our life with a keen eye, and if we find several imperfections, we fling our own self-worth into the astral plane and begin the journey again.

Sometimes we get lost within the Eight of Cups, searching for the greater unknown.
Searching for our self-worth.

Sometimes we get lost within the Nine of Cups, creating that which is desired and forgetting our true path of greatness.

Believe me, the Justice card will bring us back to center.
Spirit will lead us to our exact destination, regardless of what we desire.
For what we put out we get back.
Eventually we will realize our self-worth and begin to remember who we are.

Love.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron
