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

The Energy of the Week: Spark and Fire

9/23/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Spark and Fire

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, full force, to 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 love.
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 it.

Death, Ace of Wands, Three of Swords:
Last week the Devil card showed up to tempt us to stay the same.
To be old and stagnant.

This week the Death card is here to cause the transformation to take place, regardless if we think we are ready (not ready) for change.

The good from last week is still within our Aura.
Swimming and floating deep within our spiritual ocean.
It is not forgotten, but we must look forward now.

Good things have taken place and now the change must begin.
We may feel like the world is ending.
We may feel like things are broken, but they are simply asleep.
Time to awaken the strength within us, pull up our sleeves, and strike.

Create spark and fire with the metal.
Create love and peace with our spirit.
Burn, baby burn.

With a fire in our eyes, we change and transmute the very air around us.
Pain is part of the process, because we hold on to things that do not serve us anymore.
We try to return to the past and use it to our advantage, but things in the past are just memories of what we once were.
Kiss them goodbye for they are now only a pin tac in our history, reminding us of a time and place that once caused an emotion.

Move forward even if we cry with every step.
Understand that we are different now.
Now that we contain exactly what is needed, at the perfect place, in the perfect time.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Chosen for a Reason

9/16/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Chosen for a Reason

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 Devil:
Just like that, the cycle starts. Here is the Devil. I think we shall see the Tower card next week or possibly next month.
Now, let me advise you, that if the Devil card comes up again next week then I will be shaking my fist at it while it turns over.
Ha!

Okay, back to the reading.
What you wish to hold onto this week, will cause you pain.
How much pain?
Probably a lot.
Probably a little.
Don’t know.

The choice is up to you. One thing you must keep in mind, is that, the Devil is not here to cause problems. It is here to cause us to really look at what we are doing, how we are treating our self, and how honest we are with our spirit.
Are you honest with your spirit?

I know that it can be difficult to get rid of items that tempt us to return to old habits and thoughts. It can suck at times, but we must understand that they are there to push us forward. Eventually we will get tired of seeing the Devil card energy in our life and we will decide to advance on our spiritual journey.

The Devil card and I have this love/hate relationship.
Yes, I cringe when it turns up in a reading, but not from fear. I cringe at the fact that the Devil card is telling me that it is time to evaluate our life. It is time to look at our goals and what we are creating.
It may be done out of regret or lack of self-worth. It may be done out of pure spite.
In the end we will have to decide on whether what we are doing is benefiting us on our spiritual journey. If it is not, then we will have to let it go. We will have to cut ties and understand that it was simply there to distract us.

Ace of Coins, Four of Swords, Queen of Wands:
All that hard work is paying off.
We stood our ground, held on to the thought of things working out in our favor, and now it is time be recognized.

We stopped grasping for things to keep us safe.
We stopped trying to produce the solution, when Source was creating the solution for us.

Ace of Coins is about the manifestation of great things into reality.
A raise or promotion is going to take place.
It is happening as the words on this page are being read.

The struggle is over, it is time to rest and relax.
It is time to prepare oneself for the coming weeks of hard work.
No more proving that we are worthy.
No more proving that we are smart.
It is time to put that wonderful heart to work and create something wonderful.

We are recognized for our ambition to be awesome.
Let the light shine and know that we were chosen for a reason.

There is a new job happening for those who do not have one.
As you read this entry, the job is being created.
This week is about victory.
Now go and enjoy.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Revealed and Consumed

9/9/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Revealed and Consumed

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.

Seven of Wands:
The key word I have chosen for this card is “Defense”.
Stand our ground.
Hold onto what we have around us.
Understand that we walk this path for our own self-worth.
Do not let others dictate who we are.
Do not be ashamed.

When this card shows up in a reading, we must attach certain characteristics to it.
The person must be willing to stay strong in the face of danger.
The person must be willing to state their truth.
This card does not mean that we must be stubborn, it is more about living our life within alignment of our Divine plan.
We must be connected to Source.
We must stand within our truth.
We must create healthy boundaries.

The big lesson with this card is understanding that we must move forward with the things that will benefit us in the long run. Others may frown upon our decision due to not understanding where we are coming from.
This card also deals with the feeling of our backs against the wall. Maybe we need to have this done, so that we will decide and follow through with it.
This is not about winning or losing.
This is about making a strategic move towards our greater good.

Strength, Ten of Swords, Nine of Cups:
This month is all about hidden surprises.
A present that is to be opened and used to our advantage.
It is all about being positive.

Stay strong and understand that we contain the power to create.

The Ten of Swords is showing up, stating that there may be a feeling of defeat, but it is only an illusion.
The Nine of Cups is prompting that surprise to be revealed and consumed.

What we wish for will take place.
What we desire, will be obtained.

This month, the entries will be short and to the point.
I feel like if I was to write in a lengthy manner, then the lesson would be lost within the sentences.
Sometimes a word can change the very energy that sits around us, waiting to be noticed.

One step is all that is required from us.
One step in any direction.
Move, be strong, hold on to hope, and everything will fall into place.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron
