Your One-Card Weekly Reading Upcoming Events Contact Information Discovery Every day there is something new to learn, and something new to discover. So often we forget to look for the unfamiliar and neglect to take the time to notice new things around us. We are all explorers – every one of us. We are all adventurers on the journey of life. The more we are able to have a sense of discovery the more interesting our journey will be. Life is a mystery. Rather than being confused by that fact, why not look for clues and enjoy the challenge?  What new thing will you discover today? July Global Tarot Circle Recap Global Tarot Circle met July 23. We had people from all over the country join us on-line for an hour of tarot exploration. Some who joined us were tarot professionals, others were hobbyists and others were just beginning their tarot journey. As usual, we started with questions. Questions can be about tarot, or the kinds of questions about your own life that you might ask a room full of tarot readers. It is always fun and insightful when we read for each other in Tarot Circle.  We did five short readings, and talked about two questions regarding tarot. The two questions were these. Why does the Seven of Wands have shoes that don’t match? When working with a Waite deck, do the colorings of the different editions affect the reading in any way? After discussing these questions, we did a short workshop on the tarot Pages. Not only are Pages young people, or people of any age learning something new, Pages can be a direct communication from the Universe, urging us to learn something new. Global Tarot Circle will meet next on September 12th at 7 pm EDT. Visit the Event Listing for log-in information. The Fool on a Journey of Discovery The tarot Fool is numbered card 0. The Fool travels throughout the deck, experiencing the lessons, characters and themes of the other seventy-seven cards. The Fool is on a journey of discovery. The Fool represents each one of us on our journey through life. Astrologically, the Fool is associated with the planet Uranus. Uranus, related to the element of Air, is considered to be the planet of scientific exploration and discovery. One of the lessons of tarot is for each one of us to embody the Fool. We each need to embrace our journey without fear, excited to make new discoveries every day. The Week in Review It’s Tarot Blog Hop time again!

Notice colors, facial expressions, landscape and small details. How does discovering each detail within a card change or enhance the way you see the card as a whole? What’s up at the Psychic Café?

Your One-Card Weekly Reading Your one-card reading this week is the Seven of Pentacles. I often call this card “The Tired Gardener.” Sometimes it feels as if our work is never-ending, and that we will never see the fruits of our labor. This card reminds us that in order to be successful we must keep working, even when it is difficult, even when we are discouraged, even when we are tired. Ultimately, we will be successful. Our gardens will bear fruit. That we worked so hard to make it happen will make the harvest even sweeter. Upcoming Events August 5th – 8th Private Readings in Connecticut During my trip to Connecticut I have a limited number of days where it would be possible to schedule a private reading or house call.

They each have metaphysical properties as well as physical properties. The four elements correlate with the four suits of the Minor Arcana of the tarot. They also correlate with individual cards of the Major Arcana. The term “Major Arcana” means “Greater Secrets.” The twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana contain the most spiritual messages and lessons of the tarot, and tell the story of our journey through life. When we learn the elemental associations for each of the Major Arcana cards, we have a clear way to understand these important cards. This 75 minute webinar will help the tarot student more fully understand the four elements. It will provide a deeper way to comprehend each of the Major Arcana cards. The student will be able to more fully interpret the Major Arcana cards, whether reading for yourself or others. For log-in information, visit the Event Listing on the Continuing Education Website.
