When Your Liability Becomes Your Superpower
In a conversation this week someone said a profound thing to me.
I think my liability has become my superpower.
What a fabulous way to view growth and transformation!
If you think about it, you will see that this happens all the time. The shy, introspective person becomes a successful author. The fidgety kid who doodles on the side of their undone homework paper becomes an artist. The overly sensitive person becomes a healer. The recovered addict finds a new career in helping others find recovery.
Often the thing that is a liability for us is the thing that keeps us from fitting in well with others, with classmates, or with co-workers.
I think we need to normalize the idea that we do not always have to fit in as long as we can hold our own. It is nice to be in a place where we feel like we belong. Yet, when that does not happen, there can be power in being unique.
Wherever we are in life, we will always have deficits, problems, and liabilities. What if, rather than regretting and bemoaning these aspects of ourselves, we could instead think about how these aspects could transform us, and help us find new abilities and possibilities?
The StaarCorner
This week we are delighted to begin announcing our Friday Intensive teachers for StaarCon 2024. We will start with Lisa Adams, who will be teaching at StaarCon for the very first time.
Lisa, The Renegade Mystic, offers tarot and astrology readings, and life coaching. She teaches courses online, and facilitates rituals, retreats, and sacred ceremony.
At StaarCon 2024 she will teach a three-part intensive called Astrology for Beginners. In this intensive, Lisa will help you become familiar with terms, symbols, relationships, and concepts of astrology. You’ll come to see the patterns and archetypes so that they make sense to you on an intuitive level.
You will learn signs, planets, the elements, and how to look at a chart.
If you are new to astrology, or ready to brush up on your astrological knowledge, you will not want to miss Lisa Adams at StaarCon 2024.
Three Cards for Transformation
Let’s do a three-card reading to work with our topic for the week.
Let card one discuss a liability you are currently experiencing.
Let card two show you a way that this could become or inspire a superpower within you.
Let card three give you advice on how to facilitate that transformation.

On March 7, Saturn moved into Pisces, where it will remain until May 25, 2025. Here is what Liz Worth has to say about the influences of Saturn in Pisces.
I love it when celebrities vouch for the power of tarot! Here is an article about Jourdan Dunn, super model and tarot enthusiast.
Creation and Divination
In a podcast promoting StaarCon 2021, I had a conversation with Nancy Hendrickson. Something that become clear during that interview has stuck with me all this time.
For Nancy, the world in an oracle.
Of course, Nancy is a practitioner, creator, and teacher of standard divination tools. Yet, she is open to messages from the universe and from the ancestors every day, wherever she goes.
This strikes me as an ongoing creative process of being in conversation with spirit, and being in connection with guidance, every day.
So often we focus on the intentional divination that we do within sacred space. That sort of divination is important, but it does not negate the value of being willing to observe, listen, and interpret what we see around us everywhere we go.
When we are working to transform our lives and shift our perspective, being open to the messages around us can quickly lead us to a new path.
Look for animals, plants, symbols, words, and numbers in your daily life. Use your creative mind to interpret what you see.
Be aware of the possibility for confirmation bias. Practice detaching yourself from your fears and desires. When you do this, you become open to that which can be truly helpful for you.
The messages you receive will be intensely personal. These signs from the universe can help you on your journey every day.
