Yay!!! The Toronto Tarot Portal is back!!!

James Wells and Andrew McGregor, two of my favourite Toronto Tarot teachers, have returned to the podcast airwaves after an almost one year hiatus.

In their latest episode, Andrew and James dig deep into Tarot Trump #12, the Hanged Man.

What does he mean in our daily lives?

Sacrifice, being stuck, getting hung up, punished, or just hanging out getting ready to change.

And what does James mean by ‘wise mush’?

Take a listen – Ego and the Hanged Man at the Toronto Tarot Portal on iTunes.

Today it might seem like you’ve got it all, and yet there’s still something missing.  Emotionally, you’ve got plenty of support.  People around you love you and you love them back.  Despite it all though, there’s a nagging feeling that it’s just not enough.

Perhaps you’re fantasizing about a new love, a new friend, or at a new spark to make what you’ve already got even more special.

Examine these feelings carefully and determine what it is that leaves you slightly dissatisfied.  Are you being reasonable – or a bit of a brat.  Pay attention to what you’ve got and don’t forget to give thanks.

At the same time – if there is something missing, it’s missing and there’s no getting around it.  Meditate on what it is that leaves you wanting more and figure out whether or not it’s something you should pursue.

Remember though, what you wish for might just appear out of thin air – make sure you really want it?

Moon in Aries – High Priestess in the Emperor's Clothing

June 29th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

High Priestess dressed as the Emperor

High Priestess dressed as Emperor

The Moon moves into Aries today and will stay there until Monday.

Translating this transit into Tarot cards, it would be like the High Priestess is wearing the Emperor’s clothing. She’s in scarlet and armor and is ready for battle.

The Moon in Aries, or High Priestess in the clothing of the Emperor, is a time of intensified emotions. You might feel an increased desire to shape your own world.

Rather than sitting back in stillness, this transit encourages the loosening of emotional restrictions and the conscious expression of enthusiasm and/or passion.

It might be uncomfortable at first, but allow yourself to speak out loud. Take steps forward to let people know what you know and what you love.

Try to remain objective and open-minded while acting with determination and direction. It might sound impossible, but you can do both if you try.

It’s a good time to get to work.  Nothing exciting, just keep moving forward step by step.  It’ll go a lot faster now that you’re seriously on your way.

Enjoy this building process.  You’re making steady progress.  If you keep moving like this, you’ll reach your goals soon.

And if you’re feeling a little dull because all you do is work, work and plan for more work, that’s okay.  That’s what the energy is right now and you might as well go with it.

Creating stability is worth the effort.  There’ll be plenty of time for fun soon enough.

Tarot and Lenormand Working Together

June 28th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

Donnaleigh de LaRose has posted another fabulous video about how to work with Tarot and Lenormand together.

In this case she demonstrates how to use both decks in the same reading.

She shows us how the Lenormand is particularly good at answering how something is likely to take place, while the Tarot focuses more on how that something might feel.

Get out your own cards and take a look. You’ll want to try this technique yourself after watching.

And visit Donnaleigh’s YouTube page for more great exercises.

I know we had it yesterday, but the 10 of Disks is back again today …

You may have more physical prosperity than you thought.  Look around and see the support that’s there.

It’s likely that the money or physical support or whatever it is you need is at hand and that those who said they were behind you really are.

Trust your family and loved ones, they really do have your back and were never going to let you fall.

Open yourself to abundance and you might be surprised at how much is there for you.

And when you prosper, don’t forget to be generous.  No one ever does it all on their own (even when we think we do).  We all need each other, and it’s through sharing that we discover our true wealth.

Venus in Leo – Empress Dressed in Strength's Clothing

Empress Dressed in Strength's Clothing - Venus in Leo

Empress as Strength

Venus moves into Leo today and will stay there until July 22nd.

From a Tarot perspective, it’s like the Empress is dressed in Strength’s clothing. She’s wearing white and playing with a lion.

Venus in Leo, or the Empress in Strength’s clothing, is a good time to turn your passion towards the nurturance of others.

It feels good right now to share. There’s power in devotion.

Emotions could run high, especially when it comes to questions of art, love and women in general. But that can be good, as long as you don’t force your feelings on others.

Try to avoid righteousness, even if it’s coming from a place of deep concern. Love should be flowing, not a tool of control.

Moon in Pisces – High Priestess in the Moon's Clothing

June 27th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

High Priestess dressed in the moon's clothing

The Moon moves into Pisces today and stays there until Saturday.

Described in Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Moon. She’s lost her material body and has disappeared into the celestial body that usually rests at her feet.

The Moon in Pisces, or High Priestess dressed as the Moon, is a time of increased perception, ill-defined understanding and what might be described as night vision.

During this time you could find your dreams feel more real than your daylight hours and what’s not said is louder than what is.

Fears might grow like a boogieman under the bed, but if you just take a peek, they’re as likely to be dust bunnies as demons or ghosts.

Be still, aware and fearless. It might be dark outside, but if there was ever a time you can navigate the unknown, this is it. Listen, breathe, flow.

Jupiter in Cancer – Wheel of Fortune Spins on the Chariot

June 26th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

Jupiter in Cancer, the Wheel Spins on the Chariot

Jupiter moves into Cancer today and will stay there until July 16th, 2014.

From a Tarot perspective, this transit is like the Wheel of Fortune is taking a spin on the Chariot. The Sphinxes are on the roll.

The Wheel of Fortune could as easily be called the Wheel of Life. It represents the ups and downs of our journey on this wheel called Earth.

Typically though, unless there’s something unpleasant around it, the Fortune described by this card is good. There’s a sense of hope that something excellent is just around the corner, and with that positive attitude, there usually is.

The Wheel of Fortune asks us to try doing things a little differently, to go beyond our usual boundaries and to explore new opportunities.

Mix it up, change things around and keep the Wheel spinning. The important thing is not to stop moving, or to stagnate in last year’s way of doing things.

The Chariot very much appreciates this theme of movement. It has two wheels of its own, and is happiest when on the road.

Strength, fortitude and endurance are hallmarks of this warrior. He doesn’t give up and he knows that staying in the game is three quarters of the battle.

The Chariot represents the resolve to follow through on commitments already made, as well as the actions required to create change when necessary.

The Wheel of Fortune fits comfortably on the Chariot. And with three wheels and three sphinxes, all kinds of magic are possible.

Jupiter in Cancer, or the Wheel of Fortune taking a spin on the Chariot can be a time of exciting movement and unexpected opportunity.

New possibilities are on the horizon and the power of perseverance is yours for the taking.

Be open to what’s unfamiliar and think big. If you’re willing to take some chances and work towards hard your goals, you can hardly go wrong.

Life on the road with the Chariot can get tiring at times, but with the Wheel of Fortune along for the ride, it’ll be well worth the trip.
