Tarot Energy Reading for the Week of June 21-27

The combining energies of the Solstice and the New Moon have created chaos in most people’s lives. The feeling of being out of control has brought up old fears and trust issues. It’s is not a lack of faith that has cause us to doubt ourselves, others and our perceptions of both, but the heightening of all our senses, including the ones connected to our spiritual gifts. Even those who have been spiritually and emotionally balanced find that they are reeling from the increasing energy waves. However, it is this influx of energy that will give us the motivation and ability to make the needed changes in our lives. The challenge will be to stay sane, balanced and positive while we are being upgraded from the inside out.

The energy we bring in from the past is the ace of wands. This card represents new business, work or ways of doing both. The economic challenges can be seen as punishments or blessing, depending on your point of view. Those who choose to think outside the box will find new opportunities to change the life by improving their skills or changing their path all together. It is energy of new beginnings and expanding what already exists. It is a time to be open to connecting with others to share information and resources. A blessing shared is a miracle earned.

The four of cups represents the energy of this week. Dissatisfaction or disappointment will make us to want craw back into our caves to wait until it is all over. However, this is the very last thing we should do. Instead of hiding in the dark, we need to seek the sun and the company of others. Running and hiding will only cause us to see what we lack. However, if we have the courage to be open, we can find new possibilities for both ourselves and others.

The energy we take from this week is represented by the three of swords. Sadness and separation will prevail as fear of change will cause clashes within families. Tears could be shed. Angry words could be spoken. True feelings and needs will be revealed as we are forced to face ourselves and our true feelings. No longer will we be able to hide behind polite conversations and half spoken truths. Feelings that we had have buried will continue to dig their way back to the surface. However, this time we will not be able to ignore or dismiss them. The harder we try to run from our inner needs and desires, the more power we will give them to disrupt our lives.

The energy challenge we will all face is the ace of cups. We will be challenged to accept love, joy and happiness from the inside out. Although we can share our happiness with others, we can only find contentment from within. The challenge will be for us to change our focus from being fulfilled through others to that of healing from within. When we build our happiness from the inside out, not only does it make us more stable, but it also gives us something to share with others, thereby being a blessing for all. It is also a time of new beginnings and possibilities for those who are open to them. When we share our love freely with an open hand, we create miracles for ourselves and others.

Tarot Energy Reading for Week of August 17

The energy reading for the week of August 17 will be a mixed bag of blessings and challenges. For those who have faced their past issues, the challenges will quickly turn into blessings. However, those who choose to continue to emotionally and spiritually follow past bad behaviors will learn that instead of blessings they will find increasingly intense challenges. The 8-8-08 door opening in combination with the eclipse of the full moon has shifted the destinies of those who have the courage to face their old behaviors and are willing to accept the changes.

As I was shuffling, the ten of pentacles jumped out of the deck and wanted my attention. Its message is that there will be new energy available. Some of it will be in the form of financial prosperity; however, the biggest gain will be in our ability to see and understand the energy currents as they flow around us. The clearer our understanding, the easier it will be for us to see new opportunities.

The energy challenges we will face this week is the two of cups. It is a card of partnerships and friendship. It is on this level that we will be challenged. For some it will be to create new bonds, while others will be forced to reevaluate existing ones. It is also a card of balance within each of us. Not only do we have to consider our needs but the needs of society as a whole. By being open to new possibilities, we can find alternative thoughts and actions that will not only help ourselves but others as well.

The blessings we will be given this week are the four of wands. The four is the herald of peace, satisfaction and harmony. For those who have completed this leg of the journey, it will be a time to rest on your well-deserved laurels by enjoying the benefits of your hard work. Partnerships that have become a challenge will eventually open new doors and reveal the next adventure. Yet those, who remain stuck by past behaviors or beliefs, will find the blessings eluding them as the get what they expect.

The ten of pentacles reappears in the end result position. It confirms it appearance during the shuffle. The two events have not only increased the energy available but have made it more accessible to those who seek it. However, wanting or needing doesn’t mean you will automatically receive it. For the most people, the challenge will be getting out of their own way by breaking behavioral patterns and feeling worthy or deserving to receive. The universe works on its own timetable; sometimes it will set up temporary fixes to until the permanent solutions can be put into place.
