When we speak about the worth of a person, we are often speaking of their financial wealth. When we speak of the value of a person, we are often speaking about what services that person can perform for us.

When we think about our own worth, we often judge ourselves by those standards. How much money are we making? What kind of car do we drive? What skills do we bring to the table?

There is nothing wrong with being financially secure. There is everything right with developing and using our skills to serve others.

Yet, there is something very, very wrong with thinking that the value of a person is limited to what they own and what they do.

We need to value ourselves for who we are. We need our self-love to be based on what is in our hearts, our minds, and our souls.

What we have and what we do can easily change over the course of a lifetime. Who we are is eternal.

When we truly know our worth, we treat ourselves with respect, and expect others to do the same. When we truly know our worth, we have the courage to be who we are without apology.

When we truly value who we are, we more easily value those around us.

The StaarCorner

StaarCon officially begins Friday, January 21, 2022, at 7:30 pm. However, we are also offering a preconference intensive during the day on Friday. The preconference intensive will run from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm.

The preconference intensive is a full day with me, Christiana Gaudet. You can attend in person or online. The title of the preconference intensive for 2022 is “Finding the Magic of Tarot”. In five hour-long sessions, we will work with the many ways tarot brings magic into our lives.

Wherever you are in your tarot journey, this intensive will deepen your skills as a reader.

You may purchase a ticket for the preconference only, or you may get a package that includes the preconference and the full conference. You can even attend the preconference and a single day of the weekend conference if that fits your schedule better.

Whether you attend in person or online, and whichever ticket package works best for you, I am looking forward to seeing you at StaarCon.

See Me in the Tampa Bay Area in August

I will be back in the Tampa Bay Area August 26 through August 30.

During my time in the Tampa Bay Area, I am available for private readings at my AirBnB in Wesley Chapel. I am also able to make house calls for private readings. I am happy to come to your home or office for a psychic house party.

For more information, or to make your appointment, call or text 561-655-1160.

Tarot Questions for Understanding Self-Worth

We can use tarot to help us understand our self-worth. Sometimes, tarot is like a good friend with whom we can have helpful conversations.

A great technique is to ask a question, and pull a single card, or a few cards, in answer. Sometimes that answer naturally leads to another question.

I like to put the cards I pulled back into the deck and shuffle the full deck for each question. This allows an important card to make itself known by appearing multiple times in your divination session.

What are good questions in a conversation with tarot about your self-worth?

Try asking questions such as the following.

What is something special about my character?

What is a the nature of my essential energy?

What helps me feel grounded?

How can I treat myself in a way that shows I understand my value?

Who am I at my core?

Coming This Month: Hybrid Tarot Classes

Over the past year we have enjoyed meeting together on Zoom for tarot classes. Prior to that, classes were only available to those who could come to the Palm City office.

This month we will re-open the conference room in Palm City to in-person students. Yet, we want to continue to serve our students from around the globe on Zoom.

On August 19, from 7 to 9 pm, we will hold our first hybrid tarot class. You may buy a ticket to attend in person in Palm City, or online on Zoom. All attendees, whether in person or online, will have free access to the video replay of the class.

Our class for August is “Tarot Keywords and Interpretations”. Whether you are a curious beginner or an experienced reader, this class will help you take a next step toward tarot understanding.

In a tarot reading, each of the seventy-eight cards can offer any number of meanings. How can a tarot reader know what each card is saying? Christiana will help you explore ways to learn and remember each card. You will learn to translate that understanding into meaningful and insightful tarot readings.

Tickets to attend online and in person are available now!

The Week in Review

My Northeastern Tarot Tour is in full swing. I fly back to Palm City on August 10. I am so grateful to the many people who are seeing me in person at True Bikram Yoga in Madison, CT, and to those who are hosting house parties throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

If you would like an appointment to see me while I am here, do not hesitate to reach out to me. You can call or text 561-655-1160.

I will be available for in person appointments in Palm City beginning August 11.

As always, you can reach me for a reading by phone, Skype, FaceTime, Messenger or Zoom anytime!

Once I return to Palm City, look for new blog posts about my adventures, and new videos on my YouTube channel.

From Around the Web

I enjoyed meeting tarot author Mark Horn at the Omega Institute. Here is an article about him from the New York Times.

It is a new month! Here is your astrology forecast for August.

Cards for Your Consideration

One card I often think about regarding self-worth is the Nine of Pentacles.

This is a card whose meaning and understanding has changed a great deal over time.

The Nine of Pentacles is a card of family wealth, much like the card that follow it, the Ten of Pentacles.

The woman pictured in the Nine of Pentacles is safe and alone in her garden, under the protection of her father.

This card can speak of wealth, and the security that comes from wealth.

In recent years, our understanding of the Nine of Pentacles has grown. We now often see this card to speak of security in a different way. We see the Nine of Pentacles as a reference to being comfortable in our own skin, and in our own company.

In the Nine of Pentacles, we see a sense of self-esteem, and self-worth. We see confidence, and personal security. We understand that financial security is important, and that safety is important. Yet, there is an internal quality of security that is not related to our net worth, but rather to our self-worth.
