The Energy of the Week: Darkest Hour

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 Wands:
We overcome one obstacle on our journey of life, and soon after we are faced with another.
This card speaks to us about the struggle of everyday life.
Challenges will come into our life no matter what is taking place and you have to be ready for them. Actually, a situation comes into our life, and we have to determine, if we will see it as a challenge or a lesson.
The spirits are advising us to look at every situation with the eyes of possibility.
Understand that the obstacle is only there because we have recognized it as an obstacle.
We have labeled it with a word that can be viewed as negative.
It is time to change our point of view.
It is time to allow things within the situation to happen and take place.
Think thoughts of appreciation with what you have now and send that positive thought stream forward to a certain time and place.
Allow it to take over and create good within a gathering.
We must go with flow of things and not allow others to push our opinions to the side.
Sometimes people must come to a certain agreement for the greater good.
Sometimes people have to give a little to get a little.
Do not look at this card as a battle but as a way of coming together and agreeing on the answer.

Queen of Cups, Eight of Wands, The Lovers:
Decision need to be made this week without time to think about the outcome.
Do not worry thought, Source has your back.
I feel like the choice needs to be made by looking at the details following up to the fork in the road.
Source is constantly speaking to us, in the snow falling, to the birds singing, something is being spoken to our heart.

Source is telling us that everything is going to be alright.
Wheels will turn and hands will move in a clockwise direction, but we forget sometimes that we are at the perfect place at the perfect time.
This is what Source wants us to know, that everything is working out in our favor, even if we can not see past the darkest hour.

Things need to be talked out.
The Queen of Cups is full of emotions but she can see past the shadow side of things.
As she looks into her cup of spirit, she understands what the next step is, and without notice she strikes.

They may want to know an answer right on the spot, so I advise you to take a moment, breath in, and jump.
You can say yes or you can say no, but it will lead to your next destination.
A destination of greatness.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Dreams in Action

11/25/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Dreams in Action

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 Swords:
The past weeks have been rough.
We have been dealing with past emotions and certain situations that can leave us drained.
The end is near my friend.
The lesson for this week is about cultivating your energy and getting ready for your final strike.
Playing dead is a great tactic.
Laying lifeless and without color can fool a foe in thinking they have won.

Remember what I stated about winning.
It is simply an illusion.
No one wins and no one loses.
It is all about perception.

Gather your energy and be ready to cast your last spell of transformation.
Play dead in order to give yourself time to heal.
Meditate.
Pray.
Prepare.

What we think is defeat can only mean that we will start fresh again once more.
The battle may be over but we have many more to tend to.
Understand that every person needs time to think and rest in order to cast.
In order to transmute.

Ten of Wands, Seven of Cups, Ace of Cups:
This is going to be a spiritually filled week.
We have asked for Spirit to show us the way and now they are responding, or rather we are listening.
Dreams are going to play a big part this week.
We will find answers.
We will be reminded of our goal.

It is time to focus our attention, and energy, into one piece of the goal.
This will be short and sweet.
For some reason I feel like things need to be simple with this entry.

The Spirits want us to remember our light and allow it to shine on the very object we desire.
We must understand that we are the creator of our good.
We speak good into existence.

Let us move out into the shadows and cast our light upon it, for we are the path makers.
We are the dreamers.
We are the spirit walkers.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Across the World

11/18/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Across the World

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 Wands:
Many times we are offered an assortment of choices to choose from.
Many times we are waiting for the right one to be presented.
Some would call it “waiting for my ship to come in”.

What do you think your ship would look like if it did arrive?
When we ask for a sign from spirit, are we putting an expectation on to that sign?
“Oh please Source. Just give me one sign so I can move on?”
Are you asking for the sign to have certain dimensions?
Is it to be green?
Is it to be blue?
Will it be a person, place, or thing?
Does it matter?

When we are waiting for something to take place, and expect it to be of good, then you should jump on the first ship that arrives.
Even if that ship is a small handmade raft.
This week the lesson is advising us that we should not keep waiting for that perfect luxury ship to arrive, when all the other small boats are asking us to hop aboard.
Maybe the answer or sign is going to be found within a certain circle of friends. Maybe the sign will be acknowledged in nature.
You do know that when you ask, it will be received.
You may not always like how it is presented but understand that even the smallest gesture of good faith can pack a powerful punch.

Five of Cups, Queen of Coins, Knight of Swords:
The people we love and care for are trying to reach out to us.
We miss those who are gone and those who have moved to a different state.
Some to a different state of existence.
We see the sign of the Taurus calling out to us to make better choices concerning our money.
The shadow and light of material matter must come together in order to produce what is desired.
A home.

Maybe we do not want to leave our place of familiarity.
Things we may sit in and become comfortable with, but the Knight of Swords is advising us that action has to be taken.
We must communicate our thoughts and emotions to those we love, even if they are across the world.
This week is about seeking council from those that will lift us up in spirit.
The people who cheer us on and tell us to keep moving forward, for as the Five of Cups rolls in with the thought of regret, we need those extra words of wisdom.

We may not see all the good within our life during this state of change and destruction.
Seek out the friends who will be of light and truth, for they will push us in the right direction.
This month is about creation of things desired and we can use all the help we can get.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Talisman

11/11/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Talisman

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.

The Star, Four of Coins, Eight of Coins:
We set goals within our life to bring us joy.
Sometimes we fail.
Sometimes we give up.
We burry them in the ground to produce another seed of light.
We forget.
We spend our energy on something else and try to pour our heart and soul into something that can not grow.

If we understand that there are other things set out before us.
We must look deeper into our past and understand what actually contains value and worth.
Is it our family?
Is it our partner?
Is it our job?

Where do we want to go with all of this muck and mud that we have collected throughout the years?

With the Eight of Coins sitting beside us, we move to the next journey.
Everything that we have learned is ready to be applied to a new project.
Still old in nature.
Still old in heart.
Maybe the past has to be recognized, put between two books for preservation, and brought out when it has dried up.
This way it can be carried with us on our journey, from one destination to the next.
Consider it a talisman of some sort.
The kind that brings us light in the darkest times of our life.
The kind that shows us the way back home.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Get Back Up

11/4/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Get Back Up

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.

Two of Swords:
When this card shows up in a reading we have to apply the word 'agreement'.
This card talks about allowing things to take place in order to keep the peace between two parties.
Let us shake hands now. This forms the bond.
Think of it as a parchment paper. The rules are set. The game is in motion. Now you have to play by them or not.
What happens when the agreement is broken?
When one party decides to break the promise that was made.
Are there consequences?
Do we forgive or ask for forgiveness?

What if we are the person who breaks the rules or cheats at the game of love?
We have to know that there will be consequences for our actions. That things will have to play out in accordance to the rules. We will not pass go. We will not collect $200.
What is left over after the agreement is made?
Let us look deeper into the card. Past the two people shaking hands. Past the agreement.
What do we find?

We find that there needs to be balance within the relationship. There needs to be structure. The rules are set in place to keep us on the right track. To aid us in evolution. We must grow to move to the next card. Sometimes the agreement can turn sour leading us to the Three of Swords – Heartache. I think an agreement must be made in order to move forward through the cards. We have to first set a boundary up.
Wait!
That is it.
The key word for this card is agreement but I think an agreement is like a boundary. A healthy boundary.
You set it up so that the other person/s understand that you will not deal with their shenanigans anymore.
In turn, they will not deal with ours as well.

High Priestess, Page of Swords, Nine of Swords:
We see communication in our everyday life, being given to us through Source knowledge.
The unseen will speak to us through our own intuition.
We may be worried about what is to come, but we must remember that everything works out in our favor.
It returns to us with great power and beauty.
The lesson is to keep believing that all things will work out in the end.
We sometimes forget, as the stress of the day comes into view, and we only focus on the shadow side of things.

This is not a bad thing.
Sometimes we have to wallow in the shadow part of life to understand how strong our spirit is, when faced with danger.
We walk in the storm and worry that we will be blown away by the very force of nature.
Keep walking, for on the other side there is sunlight.
We may feel lost at times as we have faith in Spirit.
We may get the clues wrong or misinterpret the signs being given to us.
This is the energy of the Nine of Swords.
We see worry, doubt, and fear all wrapped up in one box of bullshit.
The energy comes at us full force and pushes us to the ground.

When this happens, Spirit speaks to us and tells us to get back up.
This is the message the cards are trying to tell us.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Contact Those that Love Us

10/28/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Contact Those that Love Us

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 Fool:
New year means a new beginning.
The cards are speaking of a new beginning.
Something wonderful is in the works.
Creativity.
Inspiration.

As the Fool shows up in readings, we are reminded that everything has a beginning.
A starting point.
This is where it all happens. The Big Bang. The creation of a star.
The leap of faith.
With every new footstep we begin to the process of change and evolution.
The first step is always the hardest to take. We fear the unknown. The Fool fears what is to come but yet still takes the chance.
To try. To exist.

When we pull this card for clients, it talks about the journey. The beginning of something new. New love. New life.
It is the change that was desired in physical form.
They will see positive reaction to their choices and decisions.

What will change?
Everything will change for the better. I will work on being balanced. Thinking in a positive manner. Growing with the spiritual gifts I have now. Moving forward with items that I decided to bring forward into this year.
A new chapter in our life. A new beginning.
Be careful though. With a new beginning, there will surely be a few stumbles. Fall and get back up again. Break and heal.
Do not give up. Know that you have been here before.
Lead with your heart. Lead with faith. Know that Source is always providing us with exactly what we need.
Do not be afraid.

Seven of Swords, Five of Swords, The Star:
Two swords and a goal.
One sword is struggle and the other is regret.
What does this do to our spirit?

Struggle happens because we sometimes do not want to change.
Regret takes place because we sometimes do not want to let go of the past.
This can cause our goal to seem far away in the distance.
We think only about the time frame.
How far it appears.
How much longer it will take to reach our goal.

We can have a plan in place but understand that it can fall out of sync.
We can fall out of sync, which can cause us to regret our past actions.

How do we break the cycle of regret and destruction?

We move forward and let go of all that is contained in our heart.
We trust that things will work out in our favor.
We understand that a struggle must happen so we can see things in a different light.
Halloween happens this week.
The dead are around us even more, speaking to us about what is to come.
Our power as witches is strong.
We connect to the great Universe and sing in praise of what is to come.
Open our heart to change and destruction. Let things just fall apart around us, knowing that our ancestors still contact us when things get rough.
Hear them in the wind.
Lift the veil and contact those that love us.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Take Over

10/21/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Take Over

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 Empress:
When the Empress shows up in a reading, we know that things are working out in our favor.
She brings in a time of great harvest and creation.
She is pregnant with hope and possibility.
She is ready to give birth to love and happiness that was created by her own thoughts.
Though there may be some pain involved in the birthing of a great idea, through hard work we see prosperity.

This card is about prosperity.
The Empress can also be a sign of movement forward with a relationship.
She contains the sign of Venus.
She is love in abundance.

We can attach the word love to the energy of money.
If we give out of generosity without expectation, then that same amount (if not more) will be returned to us.
When?
We do not know for there is no such thing as time within the spiritual realm.
We have nurtured our goal, watered it with care, showed it peace and love, and given it enough light to shine within the darkest time.
Things are starting to bloom and grow.
We see this within the card.
It is time to harvest and know that more is always there.
We will take just enough to survive and be happy.

The Empress card speaks to us about taking just enough.
No more, no less.
As with every reading, we must look to the other cards for the essence of what is happening in life.
This card states that things will work out in our favor, but we are not to be greedy.

The Lovers, The High Priestess, The Tower:
All Major Arcana.
What does this tell us?

Things will fall to the ground.
We will have to pick our life up from the rubble.
What will be left is only truth.

During this time of destruction, we will have to believe in the unknown.
Things always happen for a reason, and that reason is always good.
The focus is on love, how much we take in and how much we give out.

The focus is on believing in Spirit.
Allowing Spirit to take over and lead us to prosperity.
Do not stop the flow of energy, go with it.
Follow it.
Consume it.
Allow it.

Sometimes we try to bend it to our will.
Other times we try to bottle the energy up, as if we could contain Universal energy to be used for a later time.
We limit our thought process and it causes the Tower card to destroy.
This is how Spirit gets our attention.
This is how Spirit gets us to be quiet and listen.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Our Ancestors

10/14/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Our Ancestors

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.

Ten of Cups, Queen of Cups, Three of Wands:
By allowing our thoughts to flow with the Divine heartbeat of life, we allow our creativity to produce great spiritual artifacts.
We may be resting by the Four of Swords standards, but within we are creating.
The good will flow from our fingertips as music is produced.
The love will flow into the painting as we silently contemplate on our soul.

Spirit will speak to us as we listen in silence, as we daydream about what is to come.
Sometimes we need to reflect on things that have passed, so that we can gain valuable information as to where we are to go next.
The thumb tac is put on a certain destination.
The directions are printed out.
We can see our love in the distance, still calling to us from across the ocean.

Love will pour out from out heart, touching all those in its path, as it heads to our destination.
This week is about feeling love within our spirit, our family, and our home.
With a smile on our face we remember those who have passed, knowing that our ancestors are still around us, pushing us to the next great adventure.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Mortal Wound

10/7/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Mortal Wound

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 Coins:
This card talks about conserving versus hoarding.
We see the struggle on the man’s face in the card. Do I save my money for a rainy day, regardless if it is not raining, or save it due to my false thought of “lack of”?
Money can be viewed as an energy.
It must be processed just like anything else in our life.

It has the same value as other lessons.
It contains the same value as love.
It is just an energy.
If we view it as anything else, then the value is diminished, and it becomes our vice.
It holds us down.
It complicates things.
It makes us crazy.

We must find out how to conserve our money, our time, our self-worth.
Holding on too long will only make us want more. The thought of “lack of” will settle in and our adventure comes to a halt.

If we were to look at the man on the card, we would see that he is sitting on the side of the road, stuck, and holding on to things (what he sees as precious) for dear life.
In the distance there is a castle. A town. A place of new adventure. Maybe it is a bank. Maybe It is a store.
Maybe it is his goal.
One thing that we must learn from the Four of Coins is that all things require time and thought.
Maybe that is the money he is holding onto.
Time and thought.
Energy to create.

If we are to hold onto these things due to the thought of “lack of”, then what we desire will always be in the distance.
Give things away.
Hold onto things.
Be selfish.
Be free.
The power does not lie in the act. It lies in the thought process.
If you give with the thought of “there is always more”, then you will get exactly that.
When you do not give and think that you must hold onto everything in order to have more, then you will always be caught within the state of ‘not enough’.
This man sits on the cusp of both thought forms.
He simply must choose.
He simply must get up and move.

The World, Ten of Swords, Judgement:
This feels like the week is going to be difficult.
No need to stress.
We may feel like the end of the world is taking place. With the Ten of Swords reaching out from behind the scene, closing in, it pushes us to the ground. We feel the sharp edges of the stones fall upon our back.
We begin to cry due to the physical pain, but our spirit doesn’t waiver.
This is only a physical scratch, even though we may feel as if it is a mortal wound.

It is time to think differently about the situation at hand. Nothing can really hold us down. Nothing can really be destroyed unless we allow it.
Things need to end.
Things need to be left behind.
People from the past need to be let go.
With a moment of silence, and a positive thought, we send love out into the Universe.

It is never the end of our existence, just the ending of one cycle into another.
Loss is part of the process.

Take notice of the sunrise in the distance, behind the clouds, beyond the raging storm.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Doing Something Different

9/30/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Doing Something Different

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 by the police, but the lesson is not that the law is after 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 the very essence of our being.
This is Justice in my mind.

Wheel of Fortune, Four of Cups, The Moon:
The good times are still upon us.
We received that greatness in the beginning of the month, and now we are hitting the high of it.
Let us not lose sight of our goal, to be light when darkness surrounds us.
Do not get bored in our current position.
Do not get comfortable.
Change is coming.
We will see it later in the month of October.

This lesson is short and brief.
When things seem like they are not working out in our favor, change direction.
Take the long way home.
Take a left turn.
By doing something different we are allowing Spirit to speak to us through our actions.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron
