The Energy of the Week: Concept of Time

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 feeling of “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 stop and listen to our inner self.
In order to stop and listen to our spirit.

Two of Swords, The Fool, Death:
We have change taking place as the unseen is unraveling behind us.
Here we have an agreement between change/no change, and we are trying to work through it.
We are trying to decide if we are willing to accept the change or try to stop it.
Want to know a little secret?
There is no way to stopping the change from taking place.

Let it all happen.
Let it all take place and change the person you are right now.
Transform.
Agree to become something greater than the whole of who you are.

Sometimes we wish to stay stuck in our own filth.
We wallow and smear it up and down our body, trying to become something that we are no longer capable of becoming.
Trying to become someone else so that another person may recognize what they have lost.
Sometimes we want to stay stuck in the past, so that we can hold onto those who have moved ahead.
The journey is long.
We never really stop moving and the concept of time is something we hold onto with fists of strength.
Change is constantly happening my friend and the spirits are telling us to embrace it.
To hold it dear to our heart, even if we think it may hurt.
Even if we think it may destroy the very vessel, we have worked so hard to preserve.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Light of Spirit

6/17/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Light of Spirit

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 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.

Four of Wands, Ten of Swords, Five of Coins:
We see someone lost.
We see someone transforming.
We see someone becoming strong within the struggle of their spiritual journey.

This is all about an ending of a cycle, but we must learn to let the go of the situation once it is gone.
What have we learned from the experience?

The struggle can be hard at times as it pushes us against the rocks along the side of the river of life.
We become discouraged as the flow of the river becomes wild, pushing us along the bank, and telling us that we can not pass.

What if we are meant to rest for a while.
What if we are lost and by going against the flow of the water, we find that the struggle is created by our self.
We are frustrated.

We feel defeated.

I am here to tell you to keep trying.
Maybe we have to walk for a while following the flow of the river to a calm spot, putting our little boat back in the water, and float safely to the next destination.
The goal is before us and we can feel it, but sometimes we have to stop and rest so that we can build up strength.

Sometimes we have to hit rock bottom and get back up, so that we can know just how strong we are.
The end is only the beginning of a new adventure.
Never give up on the journey.
If we feel lost then stay in one spot and wait for the light of Spirit to show us the way home.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Lost within the Brush

6/10/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Lost within the Brush

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.

Eight of Coins:
The Three of Coins and The Eight of Coins are just examples of where we stand in a situation. The Three of Coins is an example of our desire for the recognition from others, we place our little self in a position of “wanting to be loved”. The desire to be noticed is greater than our own acknowledgment of our beautiful self.
We want to be seen and heard.

The Eight of Coins is the opposite. We desire to notice others in our peripheral vision. In the hindsight of who we were and where we have been. We know just how great we are with the tools and articles that surround us.

It is time to master a new craft.
It is time to master a new set of skills that can be added to what we know now.
Blend it all together.
Jump into a new thought of desire.
We are worthy of this change.
We are worthy of this new power.

Sometimes we get stuck in the middle of what we know and what is unknown. We get stuck in the unforeseen examples of life that sticks to us like honey. The pain and hurt of certain people, the pain and hurt of a certain situation, the undetermined scream of our simple voice can get lost in the crowd. We can get lost within the crowd of people.

Sometimes we must look for the highest point, muster up a feeling of determination, and climb the fuck out of the shit hole we have created. This is where the Eight of Coins will take us. We rise above all the criticism and chastising that others may lay upon us. We rise above it all to find new tools to manifest good into our life.

Ace of Wands, Eight of Swords, King of Wands:
Opportunity
restriction
Aries, the warrior

We may feel as if things are being held back.
As if the tool we require to create our goal is hidden.
Lost within the brush and leaves on the ground.
Maybe we placed it there.
Maybe we threw it into the forest out of frustration.

Things happen for a reason my friend.

The element of fire is present in our life and this tells us to “do something”.
The King of Wands is showing up around us and this is power and strength.
We must pull from this energy with a fair heart.
With a warrior heart, we try to keep balance within the power of destruction and battle.
We try to keep the fire contained and at a certain distance for we would not want it to burn down our own village.
We fight for what is right.
We fight for our own personal growth.

There will be moments of pause and reflect.
Think before we speak or make plans.
Take not of what is being said and really contemplate the moment of action.
We want to strike at the right moment and time for an opportunity will be presented and we do not want to miss out on such greatness.
The ability to shine within the shadows.

This week is also about frustration with the journey. Things may be slow at start and movement may seem null and void, but we are still moving closer to our goal.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Light and Shadow

6/3/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Light and Shadow

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 Tower:
I advised you that the three sisters (The Devil, The Tower, Death) will be living it up around
this time of year. Some choose to not believe me when I advise them that these three cards show up in
a lot of the weekly readings.

What is the lesson?

Well, we must look at the card as part of the whole. The Tower will surely state to us that destruction
is taking place all around. I think this card takes on a different persona when the surrounding cards (the
details) energy begins to show up during the week. Here are my thoughts on the lesson card known as
The Tower.

Be willing to change and start over. Be willing to give up certain items and truth, in order to understand
your spiritual path. Know that with every step you take, a breakthrough is happening. You are moving
and in turn the Universe is responding.
If all your plans just seem to fall apart then know that the spirits around you are advising you to re-evaluate your heart’s desire.
Do not be afraid.
You have been here before. The Tower card is just a statement, not a paragraph.

Seven of Swords, Strength, Two of Coins:
Something is not being brought out into the light.
Things are being left in the shadows.
We are not looking at the truth because we are afraid of the outcome.

Things must be in balance for good to be manifested.
We must be strong.

The message is simple this week.
Face the situation with honesty and truth.
Know that if we enter with an open heart then things will work out in our favor.
Everything will be in balance and control will be back in our hands, but we must first bring things into the light.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Become that Leader

5/27/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Become that Leader

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 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 for our planet to thrive.
Maybe we must find our “right temperature” 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.

King of Coins, Two of Wands, Four of Wands:

A teacher will be presented to us or a teacher will evolve within our life.
They will bring great knowledge to the table and advise us of what we are not seeing at this time.
We can also be the teacher within our environment.
We can also evolve.
Words are spoken, things are changed, and items are transformed.

Sometimes we give away things that have traveled with us from the very beginning of our journey.
Small objects that remind us of one of our many past lives.
The lives that created the life lessons that we deal with now.
We give the items away in hope that they will serve someone else in a positive way.

The teacher constantly gives hope and information to those who will listen.
The teacher is always learning, always evolving, and transforming.
They take the information that they have gathered and create love.

We may seek council from “The Elder Leader” or we may be that person to others.
They will come to us to understand why things are taking place.
We are the creators of material things into this reality.

We must start to create our foundation of spiritual practice, so that things can be manifested easier into our life. It is time to set a goal into motion.
It is time to let the energy flow towards our destination and become that leader in our own life.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Sit Back

5/20/2019

Aaron Tarot

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

5/13/2019

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
