The Energy of the Week: No Holding Us Back

Photo Finish Phrase: No Holding Us 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.

Six of Coins:
The week will bring in so much good and generosity. Things will be given to us and in turn we will give to others.
The cycle moves forward.
We move forward.
We will receive exactly what is needed. Source will provide. Source always provides for us.

In some way we will be given the tools to create sacred space. We will be given the tools to manifest what is needed in our life.
We will hear great news from a person we did not expect to be nice. From someone who is being humble.
This is what generosity is. It is about being humble. We are giving freely without judgement, worry, or fear.
We are giving a piece of our spirit to this person. We worked hard for the items we obtain.

Know that all things come full circle.
The person you have helped in the past will come back and give freely in the future. It may be to that stranger, who will feel humble, and give freely to you. Without judgement.
Without expectations.

Six of Cups, The Moon, Five of Wands:
The past will cause us to make a choice.
Both roads will contain detours.
Both roads will lead you to home.
The Moon card states to us that it will be a harsh road to walk. You can choose left or right but both roads will lead you to the very essence of your spirit.

Both contain a lesson.
Both contain truth.
The choice is up to us.
Do we want to see the truth?
Do we want to severe ties?

We will have conflict with what is being presented to us. Look beyond this conflict. The real lesson lies within how we will view the roads ahead of us.
Try not to focus on the bad.
Everything in this world contains some sort of shadow within in. It does not mean that it is evil or a nuisance.
With every shadow part, there is also a light.

Focus on the possibility of good on the path we are walking.
Whether it is a dark forest or an open road, we are the light bringers within our life.
When we are connected to Source, there is no holding us back.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Make-up of Our Soul

The Energy of the Week: Make-up of Our Soul

Photo Finish Phrase: Make-up of Our Soul

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 the end 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 particular 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.

Third Eye Chakra, Eight of Wands, Justice:
Things will happen fast.
We will grow.
We will find our voice.
Through the pain and sorrow of all the bullshit in our life, we will push forward, and be great again.
I can feel it.
I can see this energy taking place at this very moment.

The three of swords is associated with the past. Regardless of where it lands, and what situation it is talking about, we find that it all has to do with the past.
The past relationships that have hurt us, the past choices we have taken, and the past hurt from others.
They all mingle and swim within the very essence of our spirit.
They make up the vessel that sits before you. They remind us of just how fucking awesome we can be.
How strong we truly can be.

All of this sits within the make-up of our soul.
If we keep trying to hold onto something that hurts us, then the three of swords will shine brighter than the sun, within our life.
It will take over. It will cause us to feel like the world is being torn apart cell by cell.
Like we are being torn apart cell by cell.
We will lose sight of the lesson.
We will lose sight of what we know.

The Justice card shows us the answer.
With every lesson we learn, a Karma is lifted. With every lesson we work through, a new path is created.
Everything will be made whole again.
Everything will come full circle.
We will break down the barriers that hold us in place.
By water, earth, or fire.
By sword, word, or stone.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Feel Connected

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Feel Connected

Photo Finish Phrase: Feel Connected
Hello beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly post about the energy of the week, what it will be like, and how to take better advantage of that energy.
Let us begin.

Six of Cups:
There are moments when I want the past to return into my life. I wish for it to rear its ugly head and remind me that I was once unhappy.
I sometimes crave for my past mistakes to return with full force and show me why I created this change in my life. I want to be reminded of old habits that I had forgot about. Habits that can push me to the ground and lead me to believe that I am unworthy.

The past returns with great momentum. It spins and topples on the axis of our life. It balances our spirit out with the earth-like body we inhabit.
The Six of Cups is about the past.
Past actions.
Past loves.
Past statements.

Try to love the past. When it is mixed in the present, we must separate the bad, and scoop up all the good on top.
Remember to look at the past with eyes of forgiveness. Remember to state to the past that it is just a memory. It does not contain any true power, only the power we feed into it.

Four of Cups, The Emperor, Seven of Coins:
When we decide to take charge of our life, we begin to wonder about where the things we desire will come from. Sometimes we can get lost in the ‘how’ and ‘why’. We lose sight of the goal and start to confuse the energy around us by trying to manipulate the direction of it.

As we grow strong and understand that we create the end result, and the ‘how’ and ‘why’ is supplied to us from Source, then manifesting our goal is simple.
Instead of looking at the lack of the item, we begin to state that it is already in our environment.

We must plant the seed and let it grow. Take care of it as much as we can. Tend to its simple needs and allow it to grow in its own way.
Do not get frustrated with the goal and how it is taking too long to manifest.
Do not get irritated because other items are being presented to you. Do not try and manifest the item without really being connected as well.

Connection to Source is key. When we trust that all things will work out in our favor, then we set the energy in motion to create good.

The real lesson lies in the goal itself. What are trying to manifest?

Is it to benefit your spiritual growth or simply a goal you think will make things better?

I would like to present to you a bit of homework for life.
The moment you surrender to Source and allow your day to unfold without any thought or reason, is the moment all you really desire and need is fulfilled.
For one day, just let the Spirits guide you with everyday signs and symbols that cross your path. Feel the need to go left? Then go left and see where it takes you. To feel connected to the Divine presence within you.

Maybe the spirits have been nudging you to visit a certain shop or see a certain person. If you allow things to unfold with no expectations (meaning there is no positive or negative response you are wanting from the experience) then all will come together with great joy.
You will find that Source will lead you to exactly what is needed.

How do you know if you are connected?

Simple.
You are connected when you find yourself in an environment with action happening around, and you stop for a moment to catch your breath to think ‘I am home. I am whole’.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Lost in Transformation

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Lost in Transformation

Photo Finish Phrase: Lost in Transformation
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 Wands:
After all is said and done, we find our strength is being tested. We carry all of our shit on our back and wonder why it is so heavy.
I am going to relate the wands to stress, worry, and doubt.
Even though we set out on our journey with good intentions, along the way we pick up sticks with words and phrases on them. Words that we have scratched on them.

Words like shame, bad, not enough. They may seem small at first but with every step we take, more and more are added to the load we are carrying. Eventually we drop the good stuff and replace it with things that have no real meaning in our life.

The Ten of Wands is not a bad card.
Heck, none of the Tarot cards are bad. They simply have a dark and light side. Just like us.
Remember to let go of things that only weigh you down. If they are items that will benefit you at the end goal, then keep it and move on. Just remember that you are the one in charge of how much you can carry in one trip.

Let us look past the scene in the card. The man is making a trip to town to sell what he has created. We sometimes can think that this may be the last trip we must make in order to live happy. The Ten of Wands does not end. It start fresh again with the Ace of Wands. Everything cycles.
Remember that the sun always rises and in turn you too will rise. Do not carry too much in one day. It will leave you tired. You can always make another trip tomorrow.

What is the lesson?

Stop picking up unwanted shit along the way.
Stick to what you know.
Keep your eye set on one goal and work towards creating tools to make it happen. Do not stress over stuff you can not control at the present moment.
We all should be like the man in the card and simply focus on completing his journey for the day.

Death, Five of Coins, The Star:
Even though things are changing all around us, we have to remember where we are headed and what we plan on doing.
The goals we set for the day can get lost in transformation.
With the shedding of one skin, we lose parts of the past.
Fallen on the floor, battered and bruised, waking up to a new light.
A new person.
A new life.

When we spiritually grow, we can lose sight of the lesson that was just learned. We forget why we decided to transform into something wonderful.
We think that things will surely not get better.
Look at all that we have gone through.

Did you not see me struggle?

We have to remember that all of this growth is not for someone else to notice.
It is for our self.
It is for our spirit.
It is to be great again.

Notice that I said ‘again’.

We all are born as a wonderful being.
Loved and cared for. We contain the very essence to be worthy.
Do not worry about where and when it will happen. It will all come together if you listen to Source and allow the choices we make to lead us to the very thing we desire.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Our Own Damn Self

8/21/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Our Own Damn Self

Photo Finish Phrase: Our Own Damn Self

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.

Judgement, The Star, Six of Cups:
Once the process of transformation takes place, we will find our current self in a state of growth. We hope, we pray, and we beg for the process to speed up.
The process is evolving, unfolding with every step we take. When we rise out of the ashes of the fire of destruction, our body is still burning. Our heart is still on fire.
We must not give up on that which we desire. To change. To be free.
Things that require us to find our inner spirit, also require us to give shit up.

To let shit go.

To get rid of the very thing that holds us down.

Sometimes that very thing is our own damn self.
We have allowed our spirit and body to be purged of all the nasty gunk that surrounds us.
So, let it burn.
Let is cinder in the dark of night.

Remember when you were a child and we were determined to be a Rockstar or an actor/actress?

Do you remember when we set goals in place to get us to the next level of that status?

This week will require to return to that state of determination. To tell the Universe “this is what I desire and this will take place”.
Understand, that with the purging of the old, there will be so much room for the new.
New information.
New friendships.
New love.
It is time to set forth on the old adventure with a new destination and with the ability to start over, containing the knowledge of the past, we will be indestructible.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Balance of Light

8/14/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Balance of Light

Photo Finish Phrase: Balance of Light and Dark

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:
the steps we take to create our goal into reality can be jumbled. One must have focus in order to create what is desired. Without balance of light and dark one can get lost within the thoughts of what others think. Remember to go at your own pace and move forward with the intent of good. Your goal can only be reached by action on your part.

The Star, Seven of Swords, Six of Swords:
There will be distractions that will try and take your mind off of what you desire. Do not let them steal your happiness away. You must trust your intuition with the choices you have to make this week. Do not let the opinion of others stop you from reaching your goal. Do not focus on the “No”. It will only cause you to doubt every step you have decided to take up to now. Focus on the delight of the journey. Look at the positive progress you have had so far. If the “No” was really a no, then you would be back at the beginning.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Let That Shit Go

8/7/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Let That Shit Go

Photo Finish Phrase: Let That Shit Go

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 all 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.

Root Chakra, The Hanged Man, The Devil:
I could feel the past in the wind last week.
I knew that it was going to return.
It has a faint smell of tears and regret.
Maybe the past must return to push us in the right direction.
Maybe we have to be tempted with the ‘coulda shoulda wouldas’ in order to appreciate the life we have now.
The past is in the past for a reason.
Be cautious with the past.
Be gentle.
Understand that it only lingers in our environment because we allow it to.
It exists because we have participated in the very creation of it.
To remember, brings it to life.
To forget the past only brings it down to an ember.
It still crackles and sparks in the dark of night.

If we allow the past to enter into our soul, then it will begin to settle and create unwanted space.
It will start to set up shop within our spiritual temple and sell bottles of lies.
The kind of lies that state to us, while we sleep, that we are unworthy and unloved.

Maybe it is time to give in to the past and allow it to reveal its true nature.
Maybe we have to give in to the temptation of a past lover. The temptation to return to an old job. The temptation to invite an old unwanted friend back in to your life.
Maybe this time we will learn the true reason as to why they are no longer part of our environment.
The cards are telling us to work through it. Stop holding onto the past. Stop returning to people and situations. Process the information. Process the pain.
Let that shit go.
Let it stay in the past.
Let the people, places, and things return to their rightful place.
Back into the shadows of long lost memories where they return to sleep once more.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Scorching Hot Summer

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Scorching Hot Summer

Photo Finish Phrase: Scorching Hot Summer

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 Wheel of Fortune:
Like everything in this world, we all must cycle through the seasons of life. Things must be born, items must mature, and people must leave this plane of existence.
Which cycle are you finding yourself in?

Sometimes we do not look at what happens while the wheel is turning. It sometimes teeters and totters on the cusp of one new stage.

It moves back and forth, swaying from side to side, until it finally picks which season it will land in.
Sometimes we have to look at the Wheel of Fortune like a prize wheel. You step up to the plate, make sure you have a firm grip, and make it spin until it stops.
Sometimes the prize is grand and other times is turns into a consolation price. The little pieces of toys that we play with for a while and then throw away.
Look closer.

We may have thought it was a cheap novelty prize but in reality it was the exact thing that was needed to get you to the next stage of your life journey.
The homework for life associated with this card is to aid you in looking for value in having three seasons of winter or one season of a scorching hot summer.
I would like for all of us, this week, to listen to your spirit and pick certain small items to carry with you this week. Maybe they will not make sense at the beginning.
Source may advise you to carry a toothpick, dental floss, and a mint in your pocket for the remainder of the week. All items contain value. All items are small.

This exercise is to get you to leave things up to the Universe. To listen and move forward not focusing on 'the why' of the item. We must focus on the possibility that they will be needed. It is about listening to Source and following through. Maybe it will be used by another person. Maybe it will be used by your self.
Maybe you will just be a vessel that carries the items around to remind you to listen to your inner being.
This exercise will aid you in trusting Source with life choices. It will get you to listen to the small whispers in the wind. It will teach you that every small items contains value and regardless of how much of a burden it may be to carry them around, they will benefit us in the end.
Just like three seasons of winter or two seasons of a scorching hot summer.

Eight of Wands, Four of Cups, Six of Cups:
We are still returning to the past actions that have happened in our heart. With the wheel turning in a new direction, we can sometimes still look behind us and wonder ‘what if’.
This will keep us stuck in the regret stage. We will find that things are just not moving fast enough for us.
With the thought process of hurt, we stay stuck on one spot while everything else moves forward.
This week is about looking to the past for the good of things. Advising those who have hurt us, that they have no power over us.
Maybe it is time to move on. Maybe we are the obstacle on our path that keeps us stuck in a season of cold winter or scorching hot summer.

Maybe we do not want to move on in fear that things just might work out in our favor.
To be valued.
To be loved.

The moment that we stop looking behind us and pointing out the bad in a situation, is the moment that we will start to move forward. We will start to look at all the positive things in our life that have been created.
Maybe change is already happening as you read this.
All I know is that it will be swift and fast. It will take place the moment you stop looking at the past with a negative thought process.

Until next time,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Inside Light

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Inside Light

Photo Finish Phrase: Inside Light
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 Hermit:
this card always carries a wonderful lesson with it as it enters into our week.
Last week was about the changing of sets from one scene to the next.
Hidden behind the curtain, things were moving.
Things were changing.

You may not have noticed it, for it was subtle. I noticed it. I could see small things change and take place within my everyday happenings. This week is about our inner light. We carry the lantern of inspiration and prosperity. It is time to look within and shine a light on all of your fears and worries. The lantern of hope is a powerful tool. It shimmers and shines bright on all things within your life. It reveals what is hidden and what is to come.
Can you see it?
Can you feel it?
The curtain is parting and your big scene is coming up. It is time to perform. To put on that wonderful show in your life.

Six of Wands, Nine of Swords, Five of Coins:
One good and two bad.
Let us start with the bad first.
With change comes destruction.
Not everything appears to be what it seems.

With all the trouble and mishap that will take place this week, we have to keep in mind that there is hope at the end of the tunnel.
Victory happens within.
We win when we feel good, but what if I was to tell you that not all victories create a feeling of happiness.
With death and destruction there is no happiness because we have lost something in the process of change.

We lose people.
We lose love.
We lose our own self-worth.

Victory takes place and in the process with losing all that we love, we find that some items were not able to withstand the heat of our light.
We shine and sometimes we shine alone.
To burn so bright that we reset all that stands within our very existence.
Sometimes we must push forward by our self. Sometimes we have to shine the only light within the darkest night.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: 'No Thank You'

7/17/2017

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: 'No Thank You'

Photo Finish Phrase: ‘No Thank You’

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 Coins:
This court card contains the essence of determination.
The King of Coins is known as the Elder Leader. The one who contains knowledge to guide us through process of manifestation.
In my studies I have found that this card can be associated with the sign of Capricorn.
Business person who is determined to be comfortable.
This is the lesson of this card.
To be comfortable.

What does that mean to each of us?

This is the question that should be asked each time we strive for a goal.
When I set out to be comfortable, I strive to simply have just enough to live and to have fun. A balance of the two. It is when I try to out weight one over the other that I find myself in a battle with my Ego.

The King of Coins understands how to implement a plan. They know how to manifest their dreams into reality.
They understand the meaning of ‘sacrifice’.
They understand that you have to give in order to get.
Not all things must be sacrificed in order to obtain a particular item.
Some may look for love. Some may look for money. Others will look for fame.
The Capricorn can sit in the background with great silence, waiting for the right time to swing their hammer, and create.

Nine of Coins, Ace of Cups, Six of Wands:
Last week we had to rest and be prepared for the next battle. Upon entering the next battle we will see that victory is in our future.
This week the relationships we have built on solid ground with flourish.
We will celebrate the great story of love.
If you are looking for love, then be prepared for love to enter into your life.
If you are looking for a job, then be prepared for a job to be presented to you.

Keep in mind that it may not be what you desired.
The King of Coins usually understands this. Take on the energy of the lesson card and understand that everything happens for a reason, and that reason is always good. Go with the flow. Enjoy what is being presented to you.
Also understand that you can say ‘no thank you’. Nothing states that you must always take what is being presented.

By doing this, we pull the power back into our hands, but understand that this will cause a different course of action to open up.
We must be prepared for what comes with our decision, accept it, and move forward.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron
