The Energy of the Week: Potential of Happiness

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.

Ace of Coins, Five of Cups, Eight of Coins:
Money will enter our life.
The journey has just started.
We look to the past, so that we may understand.

We may overlook when something good happens in our life because it is presented to us in an unusual way.
We disregard the method.
We shut it out and take a different path.
A path that will lead us right back to the beginning.

It is time for us to listen to Spirit.
It is time to for us to let things just happen and accept what good is being given to us at that very moment.

Sometimes we forget that even the smallest gift of love can contain a large amount of power.
We laugh at the value and down talk the little package it arrived in, but we forget that small miracles lead to moments of greatness.

What are the Spirits telling us?

They are telling us to stop crying over what might have happened and embrace what is taking place at this very moment.
Stand up and keep moving forward on our wonderful journey of life.
Laugh.
Go out and create memories that linger in the future moments of sadness.
Understand that we have just started to reach our full potential.
Our full potential of happiness.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Spiritual Tires

1/13/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Spiritual Tires

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 Cups:
The Key word I have associated with this card is "Celebration".
Celebration of what has happened, what is taking place now, and what will take place in the future.
It is a sense of knowing.
We dance in celebration to build up energy.
To create sacred space.
To let the Universe know that we are happy and content.

It is the coming together that creates this power.
Friends and family bring in a new form of energy.
Personal versus shared power.

When we look at the three of cups, we see people trying to harness power.
They understand that sacrifice must happen.
I want to look deeper at this card.
I want to see it in a different light.
This is the only way to move forward with our Tarot Journey.

What happens after the celebration is over?

Between the Three of Cups and the Four of Cups. The part that is not yet boredom with relationships and love but is still in the happy stage.
The shadow spectrum of this card deals with the commitment with people that do not benefit us.
Putting our hands in those that could mislead us.
Maybe it is not their intention to mislead us but as some may say; it is like the blind leading the blind.
We take their hand in faith and hope that things will turn out okay.

When we see the Three of Cups, we must focus on great minds coming together to manifest.
To manifest love.
To manifest magic.
Remember this as we leave the party, as we enter back into the “normal life”.
Remember that the magic is still brewing and moving towards our desire.

Seven of Swords, Five of Wands, The Sun:
The Spirits are telling us that things will be bitter-sweet this week.
We will struggle with others.
We will struggle with our Ego.
Things will work out in our favor but while they are transpiring, it will feel like things are falling apart.
Do not give up hope.

The Sun tells us that all will be made whole.
We will get exactly what we need, not what we desire.
Sometimes we put all our faith in one path, when we should be allowing spirit to guide us home.
The Sun card represents home to me.
The ability to return to what makes us happy.
Home is where our heart resides.

I feel like this is going to be a short entry.
The Spirits want us to focus on the journey, rather than the destination.
Yes, focus on what joy is happening around you while Spirit guides us to where we are to end up at.
Enjoy the ride.
There may be bumps on the road but as long as we wear our spiritual seat belt and check the air on our spiritual tires, we will not notice them.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Focus

1/6/2020

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Focus

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 Wands:
When the Nine of Wands shows up in a reading, we can predict that the fight is not over. Do not look at this in a negative way. It simply means that we must regroup and collect your resources, so that when the battle begins again, you will give it your all.
Maybe this card is associated with standing guard.
Sticking to our guns.
Giving the past one last glance and moving forward.

If there was a person in front of me, asking a question, I would state to them that they must keep focusing on what they really want within their life.
They must keep working towards their goal.
Preparation is key.

“Sing a new song Chiquitita”

This card is associated with looking at what is lost and understanding that we have no time for grief or doubt.
We must keep looking towards what is to come, rather than what has happened.
Even though it may seem like we are losing, we gather all the energy within us and push towards resolution.
What is the life lesson associated with this card?

Looking back will get us nowhere.
It will only cause us to be stuck.
Stuck within the quicksand of our past, that pulls us down beneath the sand and water.
I look at this card as a “catch all” card. It kind of means the same when it is placed in a certain aspect of life.
This card is telling us that there is still one more act in the show until the curtain closes.
We will get our second wind and push through all the crap in our life.
This is the last mile in a long race. This card is daring us to move forward even when we feel like we have no energy to do so.
This card will challenge us to do something different or keep moving forward even when we feel like we don’t want to.

Knight of Coins, Seven of Wands, The Hermit:
When a Knight shows up in a reading, there is an action that is taking place. The Knight of Coins deals with money as an energy. This card is associated with the archetype known as the “overseer”.
Management.
Taking care of business as usual.
Making sure that things are going according to plan.
There is paper involved with this Knight.
The Coins are associated with material objects and solid form.
This person would be a Diviner of Earth, using sticks and stones to see into the future.
To understand through plants and animals.
They can see the object take shape and form with every swing of the hammer.

We find the Hermit guiding the Knight of Coins with spiritual information.
It is time to step out of the darkness and into the light.
It is time to become the light.
Take on the brightness and shine and show others that they are also light.

This week is about taking charge of the situation and standing our ground.
Do not let others dictate the level of our happiness.
We shine for our own self worth but others will notice our spark.

Move forward and if someone tells us to stop, we simply smile and ask them to move aside.

Kindness still holds a place in our heart and we must treat others with a level of understanding, but when they try to smother us with their own belief system, we know to walk away.
Walk away from that which holds us down.

Focus on what is wanted and desired.
Focus on what is set before us.
Focus on the good within our life and things will start to fall into place.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Fingers Crossed

12/30/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Fingers Crossed

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:
What we put out will come back to us in some way, shape, or form. Our fortune changes from one day to the next.
Like the Death card, we move into the eye of the storm in hope that we find the answer.
What is the answer?
Heck, what is the question?

A lot of times we hit the bottom of the Wheel of Fortune and think “What the fuck am I doing here?”
Hehe.
Language Aaron, language.
There will be moments in your life when frustration is simply a state of complaint.
There will be moments when frustration is a state of change.
It is up to us, to find out which is which.
Remember that complaining is healthy but after a while you start to form regret if the complaining does not stop.
Learn to let it go and move past the obstacle placed before you.
This is the real lesson. One must understand that with a state of change there are stages. We bubble and boil with the thoughts of moving forward.
We manifest destruction.
We move through the destruction and pick up the pieces that matter most to us.
We transmute them into prosperity.

There are moments when we can get stuck in the stage of destruction. The wheel wants to turn and go up, but we keep pulling it in the other direction due to old thoughts.
It is time to let go and allow the storm to do its job.
It is time to let go and allow the wheel to turn, whether it is forward or backward.

Two of Swords, Knight of Cups, The Emperor:
It is time for us to take the bull by the horns and lead them in a positive direction.
We have allowed their innocent heart to lead the way, now it is time for us to take control and make things happen.

The Emperor speaks to us about management over things of this world.
Father energy.
Alpha male.

The Knight of Cups speaks to us about the mystic art of divination.
What we see in the cards is to be interpreted and understood.
We must follow with our heart rather than our head.
The Two of Swords speaks to us about an agreement.
Something is taking place because both parties do not want to lose but both parties also have their fingers crossed, understanding that the agreement can be broken at any time.

Why did I read each card on its own?

Sometimes we must look at each card as an individual, rather than a whole, so we can understand them better.
Maybe Source wants us to come to our own conclusion when the cards are read as one sentence, rather than just three adjectives.

It is time for action.
Stand up and say, “I am worthy of only good!”, or just simply stand up.
It takes on action of hope to create ripples of love.
It takes one memory of good to cause us to remember who we are.
We are love.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: The Background

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 Cups:
The Key word I have associated with this card is "Celebration".
Celebration of what has happened, what is taking place now, and what will take place in the future.

Remember that the magic is still brewing and moving towards our desire.

Seven of Swords, Ten of Swords, The High Priestess:
This week the message will be short and sweet.

It is not up to us to judge the wrong of another person.
It is our duty to be compassionate towards them for they know not what they do.
Things may seem like they are falling apart but they are simply causing us to change.
Things are happening in the background.
Spirit is taking care of us.
Look past the lies of others and know when someone is feeding you bullshit, but still be kind to them.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Stone Kissed

12/16/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Stone Kissed

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 goodbye.
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 in 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.

Five of Coins, The Chariot, Four of Wands:
All this change taking place around us.
Things being thrown to the ground, we having to pick up the mess, and our ability to stand strong is showing others we are great beings of light.
We shine and burn as bright as the Universe and others recognize it.
We move with care and ease on our path of greatness and we start to build a foundation of love.
With each stone kissed and sealed with power, we place them in the four corners, creating the base of our new home.
Creating sacred space.

We must seek the truth.
We must recognize what is really taking place.
If we deny what is happening and try to overlook things, then we will also go down with the ship.
We may see loss of material things because we are choosing to look away.
The truth is a positive thing, even if others are affected in a negative manner by it.
We are to bring things into the light.
We are to carry others into the new thought process.

Sometimes we must be the light bringers in a dark situation.
Sometimes we must create fire out of thin air.
Some will recognize our power and others may try to steal it.
Hold onto the good in our life.
Recognize the greatness that is taking place as we step into the light of truth.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Rock the Boat

12/9/2019

Aaron Tarot

The Energy of the Week: Rock the Boat

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.

Strength:
Remember to be prepared for your grand adventure. The lists you created last week will prepare you for the journey you are on.
What will you be bringing?
What will you need?

Take care of the vessel that carries us from point A to point B.
This card is talking about movement forward. The ability to maintain the very vessel that we own.
It may be your car.
It may be an airplane.
It may be your body.
It is the only vessel that you own in full. It is not on lay away. It is not on lease. You are the owner of your body and taking care of it is a requirement this week.
Be kind to your body.
Be kind to your soul.
Heal and take care of them both this week.
It is needed.

When this card comes into a reading, we find that our journey is not over.
There are still more steps to take.
We find that the card can also represent our body.
The health and maintenance of the vessel that our spirit has chosen to reside in.
We forget about taking care of our self.
We forget to eat properly, exercise, or rest.
When we do this, the vessel will start to slow down. We will feel tired and unmotivated.
When we take care of our vessel, we move toward our goal with great momentum. We find that things run smooth and stuff just works out in our favor, for we are listening to our joints and bones.

The Fool, Two of Wands, Three of Swords:
Starting over can be scary at times because we have put all our energy into becoming something better. Now we must continue on our journey with a tender heart.
We ache and grieve in silence as the new day begins because we long for things to be the same.
Old and unloved, we move forward kissing the past goodbye.

We chart a new course on the map.
With lines drawn in a spiral motion we load the vessel up with things needed and things unwanted.
The past creeps in and tries to rock the boat.
The storm gets stronger as we push forward.
We are tossed and thrown from side to side, as the waves crash against our vessel.
We see light in the distance, and we know that that worst is almost over, but we still have to be strong.
A new beginning is taking place this week that is new and spectacular, but we may feel broken during the process.
The new beginning is going to happen no matter what but there is a little bit of wait time. As if someone or something is trying to hold us back, but they shall be exposed.
Source wants us to know that there is something better out there for us. That even if we do not get what we want, we get what we need at that very moment.

There is something more there for us, I can feel it.
Do not give up hope.
Do not give up on our precious spirit.
The good is all around us, it is up to us to recognize it.

Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

The Energy of the Week: Darkest Hour

12/2/2019

Aaron Tarot

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
