Looking Back and Moving Forward

It is the first week of a brand-new year!

January is a special month for me because of StaarCon, now just a few weeks away. As we focus on producing StaarCon, this newsletter will be slightly abbreviated. Look for new features in February!

At this time of year, we often spend time looking at the past, whether with nostalgia, fondness, regret, or grief. At the very same time, we are looking forward, making plans, resolutions, and intentions.

To stand in a specific point of time and look both backward and forward can be a sacred thing. We can honor the past and learn from it. The past reminds us that the present moment is fleeting and precious. We can plan, hope, dream, and manifest for the future, all in this single sacred moment.

Our spiritual practices of mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and divination can help us as we learn from the past and create the future. In tarot, the Six of Cups often speaks of the past. The Two of Wands can speak of setting plans and goals. But which card helps us to remember the present moment? Perhaps all seventy-eight cards, the whole of tarot, can help us stay present and mindful, especially at this sacred time of looking back and forward .

The StaarCorner

Whether you join us in person or online, StaarCon 2023 has so much to offer. With over fifty presentations, great shopping opportunities, and great community, StaarCon 2023 can be a life-changing experience for you.

The presentations you attend live, whether in person or online, will be a wonderful opportunity to learn and interact with your community. The recordings of classes you missed that you view during the AfterGlow will allow you to learn at your own pace.

This fully hybrid conference really offers the best of both worlds.

You can join us for one, two, or all three days. The lounge events during the AfterGlow are open to all ticketholders!

Get your tickets now and get ready for a fabulous experience!

Two Cards for the New Year

At this time of year, it is powerful to do both tarot divination and tarot manifestation. An easy way to think about the difference between these two techniques is this. When you divine with tarot, you pull cards face down, at random. When you manifest with tarot, you pull cards face up, consciously choosing the cards whose energy you want to manifest or remove.

The two cards for the new year are simple. The first card is what you want to leave behind in 2022. The second card is what you want to welcome in 2023.

If you do this as a divination by pulling the cards at random, you are letting the universe guide you and give you your focus. If you do this by choosing the cards face up, you are making a conscious decision, and using the energy of tarot to help you manifest your goals.

Try both these techniques this week. Use the full potential of tarot to give your year a great start!
