The Energy of the Week: Transition

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 Cups:
I always associate the Eight of Cups to the key word “searching”.
Most of the time it deals with the searching for something more.
For something better.
In this instance, I would like to advise us that it is not about looking outward, it is about looking inward. Deep inside our soul.
By doing this we will find exactly what we are looking for.

Do we know what we are looking for?

Well, I am sure we will come to that conclusion once we recognize it, in the vast space that is known as “us”.
You are probably stating to me, “But I am not looking for anything. I am content with what I have.”

And in turn I will respond with, “Are you content?”

We can be content with what we have and believe that we are happy, but it does not stop our soul from searching for that greater good.
Things can be even more awesome.
Sometimes we set out on a journey with no great intent.
We place one step in front of the other in hope that we land safely.
This is one of those times.
The need to search is greater than the state of content we are sitting in.

Ten of Coins, The Empress, Page of Swords:
Good news will be spoken into existence.
We will hear what we desire.
Family coming together.

The empress speaks to us about abundance and prosperity.
The birth of a goal into this reality.

What we have been looking forward to will now be seen.
The Ten of Coins is about family and generosity.
We see that things are happy in our house, that we share that goodness with those we love.
Sometimes we long for a gathering.
To drink and be merry.
To live and laugh.

We come together to enjoy our beauty and health.

Maybe it will be through a phone call.
Maybe it will be through word of mouth.

Things will come together in our favor.
With time passing by and days turning into years, we long for community.
Acceptance.
To be loved for who we are.
To shine with other beings of light.

This week is about coming together with love in our heart and hope in our hands.
Building community, healing, and creating sacred space.

We need others to feel complete because we are human.
This year is about recognizing our human side, so that we can transition into our light being side later, in the future.
We sometimes forget that we feel pain.
That we feel sadness even when the sun shines.
The sun will shine this week.
Prepare for a great adventure.
Accept what is being given.
Enjoy.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Joy and Laughter

7/13/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Joy and Laughter

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.

Judgement, Knight of Coins, Seven of Cups:
We wake up to a brand new day.
Things are looked at in a different light.
We contain new ideas and thoughts that take us to the next level of our adventure.

Are we happy?

That is a trick question.
Of course we are happy.
We shine with every heartbeat.
We are asked to be the manager.
Get organized.
Put things in their right place.
We gather people together to form a community.

We plant seeds of truth and hope.
We water them every day.
We are the sunlight they desire.
We watch them grow and when the time comes, we harvest.

Sometimes we get bogged down with our dreams.
There are too many.
We lose focus.
We give up.

Imagine if we focused our attention on just one small dream at a time.
So much would get accomplished.
The Seven of Cups is about picking just one dream.
The man sits before seven cups with good dreams and bad dreams.
As if he is trying to accomplish everything in one adventure.

The page turns and we find that we are human.
Fragile and filled with emotions.
But change can not happen without a little discomfort.
Notice I did not say pain.

Focus on all of the dreams or simply focus on one, the outcome will still be the same.
We will find that things will work out in our favor, regardless of the side steps and great falls.
If managed properly, the detours will contain the most joy and laughter.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Words made Whole

7/6/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Words made Whole

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.

Nine of Coins:
This card is about being comfortable.
If I had a student in front of me and we were viewing this card in a reading, I would probably state to them, “Enjoy the moments that cause you to exhale with relief”.

When we worry about money and things, we start to create this feeling of not having what we desire. The Nine of Coins talks to us about having more than enough to enjoy a moment of peace.
This card also means “peace” to me.
As if you desire a moment of silence to return to center.
To meditate.
To become whole again.
This card in readings can be positive or negative, depending on the surrounding cards.
If this card takes the lead in a reading, it is positive.
As if it is stating “Don’t worry. Enjoy, for you only have this one life to live at this moment.”

If this card is not in the lead and is in the background surrounded by The Devil or The Tower, then it takes on a negative attitude.
We view it as negative because it is stating to us, “Your over spending and eventually the debt will catch up to you.”
As if you were trying to save money and decide to go out with friends, and over spend on drinks and food.

You will have to pay for the moment of happiness.
It is not negative to me.
It simply means that we must deal with the consequences of our choices.
The Nine of Coins will eventually cycle into our life again and we may be faced with the same choice again.
Maybe it will be different.
Maybe we will make the same choice again, leaving us in the negative with our bank account. Either way, it is all about our perception.

King of Swords, The Chariot, High Priestess:
Things unseen that fall into place.
Behind the curtain, things break and are repaired.
We do not see this happening.
We only see the end result.

This week is about being fair with every person we come in contact with.
This week is about pushing forward, challenging our spirit to grow, and reaching for the truth.
Kindness comes to mind when looking at these cards.
Be gentle with the hearts of others.
Be empathetic.
Take care of the body.
Rest and relax for a moment before travelling forward.

Do not worry about what may be happening as we sleep.
As we dream of what may come into our life.
Do not worry about the obstacles placed before us.
Know that Spirit has our best interest at heart.
Spirit knows what path we must take.

The signs are clear.
The words made whole.
Like a painting, with every brush stroke the vision in our mind is put together.
The Chariot is not always about movement.
It can be about the vessel we travel in.
It can relate to our body.
To know that everything we need is found within.
All the strength and love, coming together, and advancing as one.
We shine.
We glow.
We contain faith.

Faith to advance to the next space on the chess board.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Reward

6/29/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Reward

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 not be to you exactly, but it may be to that stranger, who will feel humble, and give freely to you. Without judgement.
Without expectations.

Five of Wands, The Devil, Eight of Wands:
Here is that change and transformation.
Good old Devil card.
Looking at us and yelling, “Do it!”
It is telling us to get use to the change.
To be ready for everything to look brighter.
Get your sunglasses out, because the sun is going to shine.

Be cautious this week.
Know that struggles only happen because we allow them to take charge of our life.
Allow the process of love and understanding to unfold.
Compassion is the key word this week.
Change is happening.
We may not like it but it benefits us in the end.
We improve and become better as a spiritual person.
It is scary but even the bravest of heart have a split second of doubt before plunging head first into the great unknown.
We are only human.

This will happen fast.
The Eight of Wands brings in the energy of warp speed.
We rush by the stars and rocks in the Universe towards our destination of love.
We propel our spirit towards the goal of wholeness.

No doubt.
No worry.
No misunderstanding.

It will all work out.
And when it does we shall look behind us and say, “The struggle was well worth the reward.”

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Golden Orange

6/22/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Golden Orange

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.

Wheel of Fortune, Page of Swords, Nine of Coins:
Page of Swords is about communication.
Something is being told to us through Spirit.
Something is being relayed through word of mouth.

The Wheel turns as the seasons change.
Winter to Spring.
Summer to Fall.
Colors change from green to brown.
Golden orange to winter white.
We see these colors in our life.

The Wheel of fortune changes luck to beauty, new to old, and inner vision to manifestation.
Remember things are happening in the background.
We can feel the change taking place but cant put our finger on how it will happen.
The wheel may turn at a slow rate and we only notice what is not happening in our life.
Good is taking place and forming before us, from the changing colors of the leaves, to the changing of moon cycles.
We return to a cycle of happiness.
The Nine of Coins is telling us to enjoy what we have, for more is to come.
How wonderful is that?
To know that more good is coming.
That even more will be given to us.

Spirit will be speaking to us in the coming weeks of more change.
Change that will give us hope.
That will give us the exact amount of love, to fill us up once more.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: DNA

6/15/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: DNA

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.

The Magician, Six of Wands, Two of Coins:
Everything we require to manifest our goals is within us.
We find power in our spirit.
Deep within our DNA.
We were born to create great things into this world.

What we desire will be manifested this week.
The Six of Coins is stating that things will work out in our favor.
We will get what is needed and possibly desired.

The Magician is telling us to take all the elements of life and create our happiness.

There are moments in our life that balance is required to bring the unseen into existence.
To create life from dirt.
We have to put forth the energy needed to span time and space, reaching the great creator, and returning whole.
This is what the Magician does.
The Magician puts forth magic into the world, releases every bit of life that is needed to create, and calls forth that which is desired.
We are the magician.

It is time to take up our staff and harness the energy around us.
To cast the thought of love into the great unknown.
To call forth what is only seen with our Third Eye.

Things will take shape and form this week.
Things will work out.
Things will be better.

We will find our self in a situation where we begin to smile again.
To laugh.
To feel complete.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: We Fly

6/8/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: We Fly

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.

Death, Eight of Coins, Three of Swords:
We see Death taking form and shape.
Bringing transformation to our door step.
She is knocking softly.
She is telling us to listen.

It is time for us to move on from our mundane tasks and learn something new.
To open our minds up to Spirit and ask for light.
We may be hurting this week.
Words may be spoken out of pain and sorrow, but we carry on.
We show kindness and compassion to those who are around us.

We talk.
We communicate.
We hug and show empathy.
We become connected again.

Through transformation, we begin a new journey and move to the next level of existence.
We evolve into something better.
Through pain and sorrow, we understand.
We see.
We know.

Call out to Spirit and ask for knowledge.
Know that it is there, ready to be downloaded.
Ready to be obtained.

It is time to learn a new healing modality.
It is time to learn a new lesson.
We shed one skin and take on another.
Bright and beautiful.
We fly.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Great Unknown

6/1/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Great 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.

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.

Ace of Swords, Ten of Wands, The Hermit:
We dive head first into the great unknown.
As we travel from place to place, wondering what will come next.
We know that we have power in times of trouble.
We have power within us to move mountains.

With the sword in hand we strike down the negative talk in our head.
Things may seem difficult.
They may seem dark, but we create a path before us.
Clearing out the brush and vines on our path.

We carry our goals on our back.
The walk is done alone.

The Hermit card is stating that we must seek truth within the light and shine it on that which we love.

It will be a journey filled with shadow.
We must learn to live in darkness for a while, and understand that light is always within our soul.
Let us move forward with power within each step.
We travel to the next great destination with love in our heart.
We bring things together.
We arrive and know that things will work out in our favor.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Timeline

5/25/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Timeline

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 Tower, Seven of Coins, Ace of Wands:
Here we go again.
The Devil card made an appearance and her sister,The Tower, wants to also be recognized.
Destruction takes place within our life this week.
Creating a thought of loss.
Things may break with no way of being repaired, but we understand it happened for a very good reason.

Sometimes items and people need to be shattered and broken down, to really understand what value they bring to our life.
We let go of the past.
We swing the star to the left now, wishing for something better.

New thoughts and a new belief.
We are left with the very essence of that item.
We pick it up and put it in our pocket for a later use.
We plant the new seed in the ground and wait for it to bloom.
The Ace of Wands is telling us that the seed will bloom and bring forth so much prosperity.
We must have faith.
We must believe that everything will work out okay.
We must rebuild.

Stone by stone, we place love and peace within the foundation, kissing each piece of clay and wood.
We brush the dust off and seal in the good.
We master a new thought and process.
The realization that destruction is just a moment in time.
One single stamp on our timeline.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Awake

5/18/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Awake

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 not be to you exactly, but it may be to that stranger, who will feel humble, and give freely to you. Without judgement.
Without expectations.

Eight of Swords, The Hermit, Eight of Cups:
Things move slowly.
Move in a direction of love and peace.
Things swing and sway in a different direction.
We pause to contemplate all that has happened.

We understand that the journey must be walked alone at times.
We dive head first into the great unknown, and see that we contain the knowledge to bring in light.

Shinning our lantern in the direction of love, we guide others along the way, as they look up to us for an answer.
We look to the West for the key.
For something new.
For a sign of hope.

It glimmers in the distance and spiritual beings will see it flicker.
We will pick up our healing staff and walk to those in need.
Give freely our time, and patience, to those who do not understand their spiritual potential.
I feel that this week will be about guidance.

We may have to give guidance as well as take it.
Not everyone will be receptive, but if we keep walking our Divine path, then everything will fall right into place.

Even when we are searching for an answer our self, we will find fractured pieces of light on our path.
Like a penny from heaven sitting in front of us, we pick it up and think about how lucky we are to be awake.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron
