The Energy of the Week: Back to Center

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 Coins:
Here we see talent.
The ambition to create something wonderful and be recognized. This card can sometimes be Ego based because we often do the right thing for all the wrong reasons.
We should not be looking for recognition. We should be doing the thing we love most, because it makes us happy.

The picture I would have on this card would be a person baking a cake.
Baking can be easy.
Some find it hard.
Baking takes love.
If love is not added into the mix, then the item may come out bad. It will contain no flavor or taste. The outcome will be what is desired, but with no love contained within it. No essence.

This card is stating that there is a reason why we are creating. We should be creating and manifesting to understand that there is only good within our life.
If you are finding that you are doing things for other people, then don’t be surprised when they disappoint us, or let us down.
We should be completing our projects and goals on our time, with our power, for our own worthiness. We want to use our talent for the greater good. To follow our dreams.

I think that the people standing around in the card, watching the man create his masterpiece, are not physical people. They are our spirit guides looking at what we have created. They are smiling as we put the finishing touches on our wonderful creation. They are not judging. They love the flaws and mistakes that are hidden within the masterpiece.
This card in a reading is telling us to keep going. Finish what we have started. Know that we have support from the spirit world, and we will be seen as a light being if we follow our heart.

Six of Cups, Six of Swords, Nine of Wands:
We must prepare for what is coming.
It will be good.
It will be great.
It is the journey that I want to discuss. We see the path ahead. It can seem dark, it can seem scary, but we take the steps forward.
We walk the path of growth and advancement.
We do this for the greater good.

Prepare for the journey.
Prepare for what is to take place. Understand that we put the intent of greatness out into the Universe and it responds.
Every year the past starts to creep back in. It returns with a certain kind of power of us. We stop walking because we hear voices from the past calling to us from behind. We look but nothing is there.
Know that everything happens for a reason.
Sometimes the past returns into our life because we must be reminded of what has happened.
Understand that it can only do damage to our spiritual journey if we allow it.

People may come back into our life. Things that were lost may return to us.
Do not be surprised.
Allow them to come back into your life, to remind us of just how great we are now.
To remind us of how strong we can be.
To know that we are wiser than before.

The past wants to keep us in the past. The past wants us to live in regret as we move through the memories of what has happened.
We are better now, grieved on our own time, and replaced the pain with love.
We forget this at times, that we are loved, because we are human.
Forgive the past, then forgive our self in this current state of regret. Know that we will move past the rough waters and onto dry land, to start our journey once again back home.
Back to center.
Back to love.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: New Outlook

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 World:
This card relates to the ending of a cycle. A chapter that needs to be closed. When we see the this card in a reading, we try to understand what cycle is coming to an end.
Now it does not mean that this item will not come around again, for history will repeat itself.
The lesson of The World is about pushing through the crap we have piled on top of our self. It is the emergence of our spirit into this world, made whole, into flesh.
We arrive at our destination feeling whole and complete. We end the chapters with a feeling of hope and determination.
Ready to start the next chapter of The Fool Card.

The beginning.
We shed one skin to transform into another. Ready for the adventure set before us. If the Death card is the Cocoon, and Judgement is the breaking through, then the World is the opening of our wings.
We fly.
We explore our new body and the person we have become.
This is the end of a certain suffering for we have learned to let go of the past.
This is the “Ah Ha” moment we have, that pushes us forward into our next spiritual lesson.

A word of advice. The World card does not always gracefully lead us into The Fool card. Sometimes we skip the beginning and land right on Park Place, causing a chain reaction of good, for we are stronger and wiser now.

Judgement, Page of Cups, Six of Wands:
With the change we bring into our environment, a change for the better, we sometimes can lose sight of what it may bring into our life. We worry that it will not work out in our favor or that it will fail completely.

We are afraid of what may come.
We wait.
We wonder.
We take little steps on our journey.
Sometimes Source pushes us to our greatness.
Sometimes we stumble towards our goal.
We arrive at our destination either way.

When we arrive, we observe our new surroundings and become familiar with them.
This week will bring a surprise. We see the Page of Cups enter into the picture. We see the Six of Wands state victory over our obstacle. We see the Phoenix rise with the Judgement card.
This week is about our victory. The sudden surprise of power within our grasp. The surprise of being reborn again with new attitude and a new outlook on life.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: To Ripen

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 Wands:
When this card comes up in a reading, I associate it with the astrological sign known as Aries. Now a days, male and female cards are not applied. Usually I state that it is a person who has certain characteristics. It is our job as a Tarot card reader to know who the person is. Are they female with King of Wands energy?
Are they male with King of Wands energy?
Usually this person is an older person when the King is in play.

When doing a reading, we should be able to get our information from Spirit on whether it is a female or male person.
Remember a client’s mother may associate with the King of Wands by how she acts within the relationship.
She may be strong willed, a leader, or a go-getter. The King of Wands is known as “The Warrior”.
They push forward with an intent of victory.
Sometimes the intent can turn sour. They are known as the warrior, but the warrior can often times fight for the wrong reason.
Sometimes it is not about the victory but the process. The King of Wands seeks truth and fairness.

An Aries friend, who is male, would state to me that he was a “ride or die” kind of person. He goes big or goes home.
Funny how he would always find himself in a state of anxiety when he would try to change the situation to his liking.

The King of Wands can also be determined and make shit happen. They know the area of business and management. They understand how to lead a group of people. They can handle stressful situations but always strive to be the best. They are their own worst critic.
They are here to teach us to be strong. To be determined. To be great in the area of our expertise.
They push us to the limit because they can see our true potential.

Four of Wands, Queen of Cups, Seven of Coins:
Foundation.
The Scorpio. Dark Mother.
Waiting for the fruit to ripen.

The answer may be hidden within our spirit. We may not recognize it.
It may be small and dim.
There are times that we have to wait for the good stuff to happen. We may want it take place at this very moment, but things need to unfold.

We look at the Four of Wands and see “foundation”.
The building blocks of our life story.
Our childhood is within this foundation for we learn by our environment.
What we create, we become.
Even when The Tower card moves through our life, it destroys what we have built, but in the end the foundation is still left.

The Queen of Cups teaches us about feelings and ambition.
The power to feel what is really happening within our life. This is creativity moving through us and using us to put good out into the world.

The Seven of Coins is the waiting card. It states to us that we must let the fruit ripen before tasting it.
We forget the process of waiting.
It teaches us to accept the growth and maturity of our own spirit. We wait for things to take place at the right time.
It doesn’t mean we sit around and look for the exact item in our minds eye.
It may be different as it approaches from afar.
The outline may look like it but when it approaches in close view, we find that it is different. This can throw us off balance.
We will feel slighted or bamboozled by Source because we had a picture of something in our mind and it was not produced how we expected it to be.
To expect something.

Expectations will only lead to disappointment.
We expect it to be this way or that way, and when Source provides, we turn the good away because it is not what we thought it would be.
That is why a lot of spiritual teachers, state to never expect the same feeling during meditation to happen every time. Sometimes it will be subtle and other times it will be grand, but the results of expansion and growth are the same. We are still choosing to be a better person by allowing things to unfold and take place.
This week will be about allowing all of it to just happen in its own time and place.
To unfold and mature.
To ripen and be blessed.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Light 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.

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.
To being again within the blood and dirt of the battle field.

This card is talking about our inner power that we recognize to be true, and 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.

Nine of Coins, Eight of Wands, Queen of Wands:
I recently spoke to my good friend, and fellow witch, who had created a Mojo bag for a client and found out that it was successful.
She was so excited, and I was so proud.
I started with this chica from the beginning, watching her develop her skills as a witch, and now she is off on her own, developing even more in her new home town.

I wanted to share this story, because the cards are about enjoying your spiritual development, and patting yourself on the back when you find out that your spells/prayers are successful.
Growth is part of this process.
Pain is part of the process as well, but that is for another time and place.
This also applies to your daily life. The magic is never far behind. It is always within our environment, even at work amongst the routine.
The cards want us to know that we will see results this week within our spiritual and personal growth.
Maybe a raise will be confirmed or a new position.
Maybe we will see more people attend our spiritual classes that we offer.
Business is part of the Queen of Wands. She knows the T. She is the developer of projects and manifestos.

This will happen fast.
We will throw it out into the Universe and the Universe will respond in ample time. With one flick of our magic wand, we create and enjoy the good around us.
Take the time to rest and enjoy with others, for they have helped us get to our place of luxury.
We sit and enjoy with talks of great adventures and healing energy.
We cry for the past. We sit with our loved ones who have passed.
We believe that all things happen for a reason.

It is time to open up our heart to the Universe.
Asking it to fill us up.
To help us understand.
We contain the knowledge, we just have to recognize the answer as it swims in our river.
Sometimes it is hidden under rocks and water lilies.
Sometimes we have to dig for the truth, hold our breath for long periods of time, and gasp for air as we reach the surface with our new found power.
For we are much more powerful than the circumstances around us.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Intent of Greatness

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 Cups:
We must all learn the value of saying good bye.
Sometimes what we see as a loss is really a blessing. What we have given up is gone but there are things left behind.
Lessons and values that have surfaced to the top of your pond. They float there, bobbing up and down, in hope that they will be recognized. A lot of people associate the Five of Cups to the phrase “don’t cry over spilled milk”.

This week the Five of Cups goes deeper into that spilled milk. My advice is to cry over the spilled milk. Shake your fist at it, blame it for being in your way in the first place (even though you placed it there), and kick it while it is down.
After you have showed your true feelings, regarding the situation, look into the pitcher that contained the very essence of that milk of life.
Is there some left?
I would think so. With the curvature of the vessel it was in, there should be just enough for a sip. A sip that will quench your thirst. After all, everything happens for a reason. Maybe a sip is all you needed in order to get by until the next trip to the store.

The High Priestess, The Tower, Seven of Cups:
Things unseen.
Destruction.
Choices.

We move from the past into the future.
We leave things behind to be transformed and recycled.
We wait for destruction to take place, so that we can pick up the pieces and rebuild again.
This week will contain a bottle of choices. Maybe we will be faced with two wonderful choices and both are win-win situations.
We have to still choose the one that will make us happy.
Go with the flow and let Source create the happiness from the circumstances placed in our lap.

Destruction will take place, but it must be looked at with a happy heart.
Destruction needs to take place in order for room to be made for more great things to happen in our life.
Try not to get caught up in a state of distraction.
Distractions can look like destruction, but they are misleading. They try to sink and destroy our battle ship, so that the goal we are trying to manifest will also go down with the ship.

Let us put the intent of greatness into the Universe. All things will happen for our benefit.
Only good is around us.
We will flourish in every situation.
Start today. Start right now.
Let it be put out into the Universe to cultivate and mature.
We must enjoy it when it happens.
For it will happen, no matter what.
We are success.
We are flourishing.
We are great.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Here We Are

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 Cups:
I am safe.
It deals with the emotional stability of family, whereas, the Ten of Coins deals with the financial stability of life.
The Ten of Cups can also deal with options, in regards, to what we desire in a family or for our family.
All Ten’s deal with an ending of a cycle.
The completion of something.
All things do come to an end, but we forget that life starts over.
Nothing ever dies. It is recycled into the greater scheme of things.
Into the greater good.
We desire and hope for the best. The Ten of Coins talks about hope and desire. The thought process of what could possibly go right in our life.
There are times when we only want to focus on what could go wrong. The Ten of Cups is stating: Be happy with what you have.

It is almost as if the card is telling us to enjoy the good we have accumulated. We are coming from the point of view of the Nine of Cups.
What we wish will be received.
We know things are working out in our favor, but the Ten of Cups is stating that we should be content with what has been presented to us.
There is not much you can write on the Ten of Cups. It represents community and family. The togetherness. The pull through. The coming together after the storm.
After the destruction has hit those who did not believe. Did not believe in the power of love.
The power of love!
That’s it!

We have decided to take this wonderful journey with love. The heartache, the pain, and the glory.
The Ten of Cups talks about the end factor of the struggle. How love conquered hate. How true love's kiss woke us from our slumber.
Ah yes!

As I write this down, a song starts to play on my phone.
"Elastic Heart" by Sia.
This is the end result of love.
The breakthrough.
The determining factor that pulls those who were apart, together again.
It brings the lonely warriors full circle with their spiritual relationships. Combines their powers of knowledge and strength to start the process of solidification of that which we desire.
A coven.
A coven celebrating with other covens.
A group of like-minded people requesting good.
Requesting good to take place upon the Earth.
Remember, we are all part of the whole.

Four of Cups, Six of Swords, Eight of Coins:
Offering from above
Journey or travel
Working on something more. New skills.

We begin the journey home.
To the center of our spirit.
Where things are placed within the waters of knowledge.
We return with sympathy attached to our belt, along with peace and understanding.
They are the tools we teach.
They are the tools we manifest with.

This week is about the adventures that Spirit can take us on. Sometimes the road can look scary. Sometimes the snow will fall and cover the path.
With your tools in hand we begin. One foot in front of the other.
We may travel in a vehicle, with chains on the tires and hope in the gas tank, we move.
We move with the knowledge that Source will take care of us.
Stepping on stones and crossing the river wide, we pray for a safe beginning and a proper end.

Returning home can be hard. We have to admit that sometimes things just don’t work out as planned. We seek shelter with those we love.
We sometimes need to see that which is old and familiar to understand what our true desire is.
We set the goal and place a mark on the map. The journey starts when we decide that change is needed.
We seek an adventure in love to open our heart and mind.
We may miss those we care for but in the end we will see them again.
Maybe this week is about leaving and arriving.
Sometimes we are called away from home. Sometimes we are called back home.

Whichever side we find our self on, we must accept what is being given to us by Source. We must say “Yes Source, I am listening, I will follow and know that things will work out okay.”
We want to question the push and shove that Source has given us, but we asked for this change to take place.
We shook our fist at Source and said, “I am through with this. Either you make something happen or I give up on this spiritual journey. “
In turn Source responded as law of the Universe is set in stone.
What we ask for will take place.

What is my point?
I am asking myself the same question.
I hear Spirit say, “Shut the fuck up and just move.”
Granted that is my translation of the energy that they are delivering to me in my mind. Maybe others will take it in a more light direction when stating that movement with out question is needed.
But this is my entry and interpretation of what is received from Spirit.
Go with the flow of energy this week.
Do something about it.
I would suggest keeping the complaining to a minimum.
Spirit knows what we need and understands that we make this journey difficult at times.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Slow Movement

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.

The Hierophant reminds me of the song “The Little Drummer Boy”.
Sometimes we only have a drum to play to those around us.
Like the little child, the Hierophant has only the book of wisdom. The lessons and truth of what he has experienced. All we have to give to the divine is our truth. Our spirit. Our love.
The divine states to us, “This is enough”.

To experience the joy of “being enough”.
The Hierophant is tradition, but it is knowledge of what has happened in the past.
This means that we sometimes have to return to our old self to re-evaluate our life.
To look at the things that have brought us to our current situation.
To understand them.

The Hierophant is number 5.
Change.
In the middle.
There is no fear associated with this card. We have to accept the information that is being given. We must take in the past and understand that lesson associated with it.

Eight of Swords, The Lovers, Seven of Wands:
Moving slow.
Choices.
Standing our ground.

Things may look stagnant in the pond, but we do not see the movement below the water. It may seem like nothing is happening this week, but there is so much going on in the background.
Try to keep an eye on the end result.
We will be faced with choices.
A decision has to be made. We have to find the truth within the mix of things.
It is Christmas time.
It is time for family and friends to get together and create a space of love.
To create a place of peace and joy.

Maybe this is a time of waiting.
A time to be careful.
To feel like things are out of our control, so that Spirit can take over and create that place of love and joy.
Sometimes we have to let go of everything. Sometimes we have to allow shit to just happen, but still hold on to the happiness we are deserving of.
We are worthy of only good.
We may be miles apart from those we love, but they are simply a thought away.

What is the message that Spirit wants me to share?

Appreciate our friends and family.
Appreciate what we have in our life at this very moment.
Appreciate our partner in crime for they truly stick by us even in the darkest moments of our life.
This Christmas time should be about giving our time to those we love and care for.
We may not have a great material gift to give to those around us but we have our gift of time to spend with them.
Talking, laughing, and sometimes crying tears of joy.

The movement may be small with our spiritual growth, but the impact will be grand. One act of kindness will lead into another.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: The Unknown

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.

No Cards this week.
No time to pull them.
This week will contain elements of the unknown. We will have to walk without knowing what will take place.
We have to have faith that everything will work out for the best.
What is ‘the best’?
Some say that it is the exact item that we desire. In the exact shape and size.
Others (like me) state that it is exactly what is needed.
This week we should go out and live this life. Do things out of the ordinary. Call out to the Universe with great intent and walk through your day with the knowledge that the unknown will respond in a positive manner.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Dirty Newspaper

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 Coins:
Prosperity is a double-edged sword. With more money, comes additional spending.
Some may think that if you are to receive then you must pay out. That with new money comes new bills.
Sure, there is more money.
More money does not mean more happiness.
I want you to change your thinking.
With more prosperity, comes more prosperity. If you give, then more will show up.
The Ace of Coins is not set to money. It is not set to a certain amount.
The Ace of Coins speaks to a reader about the amount of joy and happiness around you. With a positive eye you can manifest your current desire. This card represents the desire made whole. Created out of fire, water, and air.
It stands smack dab in the middle of our life. It holds a mirror up to our face and states, “Is this what you wanted?”
Is it?
The Ace of coins is our friend but remember that you create the happiness, the shit, the spell, and the joy that binds it to our heart.
We are the creator of our environment. We determine the level of our happiness. The Ace of Coins is the result of our effort, the result of our desire.
Sometimes it can look crooked.
Sour.
Spoiled.
But with a keen eye you can see the item set before you. You can see beyond the hurt, pain, and sorrow.
With the love in your heart the prosperity does not come with money. It comes with the small miracles set within your average day. The small miracles that you can only understand. The small miracles that set love in motion.

King of Cups, King of Swords, King of Coins:
Advice.
Power.
Talent.

The three wise men.
How funny that during Christmas time a council of men show up.
Maybe they are looking for a star.
Maybe they are looking for hope.

This week is about searching for something greater than our own little world.
We are part of the whole.
We need to recognize that “whole” and where it fits into our life.
Three wise men are here to bring us spiritual gifts.
The King of Cups is here to teach us about emotions and the power we contain within a relationship. This person is known as the “nurturing person”.
Who do we need to nurture in our life?
To aid them in their spiritual growth.

The King of Swords is here to bring us a gift of love.
This person is known as “The Lover”.
This is what we crave and desire within that wonderful person that we love.

The King of Coins is the “Elder Leader”.
This is the one person who we seek council from. Advice for the unknown charted waters set before us.
The person is strong willed. Set in their ways because they know what the future holds. They build their empire with one swift blow.

The spirits want us to know the end result with this thing called life. Especially during this holiday season, they want us to know that the goal is to explore, love, create, and understand.
Try to understand those around you for their journey is no different than yours, it may just be wrapped up in old used newspaper.
Not everything we receive in this life will look like gold trimmed wrapping paper with pretty bows.

Maybe the three wise men brought gifts of knowledge rather than real gifts. Maybe they were rich in wisdom rather than rich with material.
It is time to reflect on what we have become. It is time to evaluate our own life.
Are we spinning in a circle for other people or for our self?
Are we trying to be awesome for all the wrong reasons?

Maybe we should stop spinning. Maybe it is time to focus and ground our self. Maybe it is just the beginning speech before the flight departs.
Remember to put all luggage in the above compartments, put your seat belt on, and in case of an emergency the seats become flotation devices and a mask will supply you with air.
Imagine if Source could tell us this every time we set foot out on our new adventure. Imagine just how safe we would feel with a set of “in case of emergency” rules.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron
