Tarot Lesson #305: You Need To Take Time Out To Recuperate After A Storm Has Passed Through Your Life

Long time, no talk. My bad of course. I’ve had a few things going on, as we all do from time to time, and then I needed to recover before I resurfaced again. I’m good at taking time out for myself for which I like to thank my mother. She has always done things just for herself even when her children were little. And I have followed suit as a parent. It’s the only way to stay sane.

Anyhoo, Continue reading

The Tarot Of Game Of Thrones Season Two

I’ve just been on a mad Game Of Thrones bender. Watched all season two in one long blissful night. So I thought I’d have a go at discussing the Tarot of GOT Season Two. I won’t be able to explain everything, the tapestry is too rich, but will try to pinpoint some of the major themes and characters.

The Tarot Of Mental Illness

I promised a lovely lady on my Facebook page ages ago that I’d republish all my medical Tarot blogs. Here’s one I found. Sorry it took so long…

I’ve had way more experience of mental health issues in the last few years than I ever wanted to so I thought it might be time to tackle the Tarot of Mental Illness in more depth. Unsurprisingly the cards involved include those in the last section of Life Lessons Tarot (aka the Major Arcana). Note: These cards might turn up reversed in a reading about mental illness.

The Devil: Depression

The Devil

Well here I am living the Tarot, highlighting how the cards manifest in my life and in the events I witness around me, writing about my experiences. And the bottom line is they’re not always positive ones. As I’ve told you my Tarot card-of-the-year is The Devil. I’ve been a bit of a cheerleader for this card, pointing out its good side, rah-rah-rah. Because I’m an optimist, a glass half-full kind of gal. But today is my birthday Continue reading

The Comfort Offered By The Wheel Of Fortune

The Wheel Of FortuneI haven’t written much about the Wheel Of Fortune. It’s one of those cards that seems blindingly obvious as it represents the ups and downs of life. You win Tattslotto, you get fired. You miss out on buying the house of your dreams, a better one comes up. Your child crashes the car, your child aces his exams. You get the good and the bad in life. No one is immune from disaster or unblessed in some way.

What I find incredibly comforting about this card is Continue reading

Ten Of Cups + The Tower: Family Drama

We’re having our fair share of family drama at the moment. My favourite astrologer Mystic Medusa says that the whole world is experiencing what she calls the Zap Zone, i.e. a period of upheaval and change, and that this can be felt on an individual level. And I’m like, well derr, I can see that. I’m not going to go into details, some things are too personal, but I thought in honour of the occasion that I’d suggest the following two cards as being representative of family drama:

The Star: The Therapeutical Benefit Of Being A Fan

The Star

It’s no co-incidence that famous people are called Stars. Just as The Star card represents sanctuary and healing, following your favourite Hollywood Stars has therapeutical benefits. Being a fan of a famous person helps you forget about your own problems, you can get lost in theirs instead. Reading a trashy magazine article about celebrities gives you a break from your own life. Going to a concert of a musician you love helps soothe your hurts. Following lifestyles of the rich and famous helps you create dreams for your own life that nourish the soul. Etc etc etc. You get the picture. The Star card really does represent Stars with a capital S amongst other things.

The Magician Vs The High Priestess: Rational Vs Lateral Thinking

Following on from my last post about dreaming I thought I’d briefly recap one of the main differences between The Magician and The High Priestess. These two cards represent the two types of mental intelligence as follows…
