Are We There Yet?
It happens so often that it has become a familiar joke. Children on a long car trip will incessantly ask “Are we there yet?” even when they are only a few minutes into the ride.
As adults, we often do the same thing on our journey through life. We have goals, internal and external, personal, and professional. We often check in with ourselves, wondering if we are moving forward, wondering if we are doing everything we need to do to get where we want to go.
Sometimes we see clear signs that we are well on our way. Then, something will happen that will make us feel that we have lost ground, or that we are simply standing still.
Sometimes we know exactly what our next step must be. Other times we feel lost, not sure where we are going or how to get there.
When I read for people regularly, either in sessions or on my YouTube livestreams, I can often see their obvious progress. This is so encouraging! Many times, I see progress for a bit, then a time of frustration and feeling stuck. Yet, over time, we can see that after the difficult time, progress resumes.
Life does not move in a straight line. The path to success is twisted, easy in some places and hard in others. We must be patience and proactive in equal measures. We must enjoy the journey. We must remember that as soon as one goal is met, we may set another, and the journey will continue.
Growth, healing, and achieving our goals is a life-long process. In many ways, the question we need to ask is rarely, “Are we there yet?”
More helpful questions are, “Am I doing what I need to do right now?” “Do I know what I want to be working toward?” “Am I enjoying the journey?” “Are the sacrifices I am making worth the end goal?”
These are great questions for meditation, journaling, and divination.
How Spirit Speaks Through Tarot Workshop
Plan to join us Wednesday, October 26, from 7 pm to 9 pm ET, for this special seasonal class.
You can join us on Zoom or in person in Palm City. This will be our last hybrid tarot class for 2022.
In this two-hour class you will learn how to hear the voice of spirit in a tarot reading, whether reading for yourself or others. You will learn to empower your readings with the presence of divine helpers, each and every time you pull a card.

The class will be available at cardandcraftacademy.com after November 2nd.

The StaarCorner
We are excited to add Tara Greene to our roster of amazing presenters for StaarCon 2023. Tara is an internationally renowned tarot reader, astrologer, dreamworker, and workshop leader, as well as a Certified Transformational Psychotherapist.
Tara will be teaching us about major astrological shifts beginning in March 2023. With this information, we will be ready to take advantage of new opportunities and prepare for important changes as we move through our new year.
You can attend StaarCon in person in West Palm Beach, or online on Accelevents. Come for a single day, the weekend, or all three days.
Tarot Over Time
Tracking the tarot or oracle readings you do for yourself, or your daily or weekly single-card pulls, can give you an interesting timeline of your life. Seeing the cards that repeat, and the ebb and flow of the energies around you is a way to chart your course, measure your healing, and make appropriate adjustments.
You can keep a record of your readings and cards in a journal, on your computer, or you can use a special tarot tracker (there are many available online).
Keeping a record of the cards you receive allows you to see your journey in a new way. An added benefit is that journaling your readings will help you more clearly understand the ways the cards speak to you.
The Week in Review
We have had two great free workshops on YouTube this week. Watch the replays of Seasonal Tarot Practices and Tarot, Trauma, and Spiritual Bypassing.
Members of our YouTube channel will gather for a members-only livestream, Calling in the Ancestors on Thursday, October 20.
From Around the Web
We have received the sad news that a member of our StaarCon community, Lainie Sevante Wulkan, lost her home and business location in Hurricane Ian. There is a fundraising site set up to help her and her family on their new journey. We wish them healing and love in this difficult time.
It’s October, and Mary Ellen Collins is writing about favorite spooky tarot decks.
Writers will love these tarot prompts!
Guidance on the Journey
Major Arcana 21, The World, is a card with many possible interpretations and associations. The World can represent opportunity, attainment, completion, globalism, and world travel.
I often see the World as an invitation and admonition to take a long view. When we look at our accomplishments and our life’s journey, it can be easy to get caught up in small disappointments and in the minutiae of daily living.
The World asks us to use a wide-angle lens and pull back a bit, so we can see the big picture, and the entire timeline.
When the World appears in your reading, see if viewing the bigger picture might be helpful to your perspective and decision-making.
