Equanimity
Equanimity is an important skill of emotional intelligence. This week we are discussing ways to find equanimity with tarot.
When I was young, I wasn't aware of emotional intelligence. It just wasn’t something we talked about. I believe life would be better for everyone if we were all taught emotional knowledge, understanding, and skills.
Since many of us weren't taught these things as children, we must learn them later in life. This can make it difficult for people to handle their emotions and achieve their goals while also managing adult responsibilities.
One skill of emotional intelligence that seems particularly important is equanimity. Equanimity, from Latin, literally means ‘even mind’ or ‘level spirit.’ Equanimity is the ability to remain calm and non-reactive in challenging or distressing situations.
This does not mean that we do not acknowledge and respond to distress. Instead, it means we have the skill to do so in a level-headed way that offers solutions rather than drama.
The concept of equanimity appears in many spiritual traditions, including Buddhism and Christianity.
Practices of equanimity include nonattachment, mindfulness, and self-compassion. These are also good divination practices.
By taking responsibility for our energy, responses to triggers, and reactions to situations, we increase our ability to find solutions, navigate challenges, and cultivate meaningful relationships.
It's all right if we can't always maintain complete equanimity. Setting a goal to achieve equanimity helps us move toward peace and balance.
The StaarCorner
Mary Ellen Collins has been a part of StaarCon from the planning stages forward. She is a stalwart volunteer as well as an excellent presenter.
At StaarCon 2024, Mary Ellen is offering a Friday Intensive option called Tarot Plus! Divination Combos.
This intensive is for tarot enthusiasts who want to learn to integrate other forms of divination into their tarot readings. Mary Ellen will teach Tarot Plus! In three sessions. Session One is Cards and Stars, where you will learn simple astrology tools to personalize your tarot readings. Session Two is Cards and Charms. Here, you will learn charm casting and ways to combine charms with tarot. In the third session, Cards and Crystals, you will learn the basics of lithomancy (reading crystals) and several methods to combine crystal divination with tarot.
Whether you enjoy this intensive with Mary Ellen in person or online, live or during the AfterGlow, you will be thrilled with how these techniques power up your tarot practice.
Equanimity Tarot Exercise
Here is an exercise to help you find a sense of equanimity as you learn more about your tarot deck.
First, think about the qualities of equanimity – peace, calm, serenity, patience, balance, etc.
Then go through your tarot cards, face up. Pull every card from the deck that you feel represents a quality of equanimity or makes you feel equanimous.
Now look at the cards that you have pulled. Divide them into suits and see what similarities and differences you see in the cards in this subset of the deck you have created. Is one suit predominant? If so, what message do you take from that? Is a suit missing? Are their repeated numbers? What do you learn about equanimity from these things?
Pay attention to what comes into your mind as you play with these cards. Pay attention to how the group of cards you have chosen work together and what messages and insights come to you from these images when you view them as a group.
Now, take this group of cards and shuffle them together. Do not include other cards from the deck; shuffle only the cards you pulled out initially. Pull three cards from this shuffled group at random to give you personal insight into your relationship with equanimity.
The Week in Review
If you missed Global Tarot Circle last night, please watch the replay. Tomorrow evening, Thursday, at 7 pm ET, members of my YouTube channel are invited to join us for our monthly members-only livestream. This month, we will focus on the Court cards.
From Around the Web
StaarCon presenter Nancy Hendrickson shared this fabulous post about omens.
This interview with tarotist Jessica Dore in the LA Times is very interesting.
Here is a free download of equanimity practices (it mentions tarot!) from the Association of Reflexologists.
Creation and Divination
Can we use tarot to create a healthy headspace? Very often, I think we can.
I can think of three ways to use tarot to create equanimity. The first is tarot study. There are so many cards that admonish us to be patient. Many cards encourage us to find balance. As we learn the cards, we naturally embrace their messages.
The second way is through divination. When performed mindfully, divination with tarot can help us find the perspective and understanding that leads to calm.
The third way is with tarot magick. We can find the cards in the deck that most represent the energy we want to embody. For example, the High Priestess and Temperance embody the practices leading to equanimity for me.
Once you have chosen your cards, you can meditate with them, write about them, or look at them with a soft gaze and breathe their energy into your being.
Try these three techniques and see how your mood and tarot practice are improved!

Invoking Energy
What energy do you need in your life right now? This week we are exploring ways to call upon the energy we need.
Many religions and spiritual practices include invocation. In mundane terms, to invoke is to appeal to an authority for help or support. In spiritual terms, an invocation is calling on a spirit in prayer, to witness and attend, or for inspiration.
I have come to believe that we can invoke spiritual energies as well as spiritual entities. Here is why that matters.
I have noticed a curious pattern in myself and others. Engaging in spiritual and creative practices helps us stay motivated and inspired in our everyday lives. However, we require inspiration to begin and maintain these practices. This means that the very thing that inspires us also relies on us being inspired. This might be why we often get stuck in a loop where we regret abandoning our practices, but we are not motivated to restart.
Invocation may be the practice that can get us unstuck and remotivated quickly.
Everything that we feel is an energy. Love is an energy. Peace is an energy. Creativity is an energy. Joy is an energy. If we want and need to feel a certain thing, it is possible to call that energy to us.
If we are anxious and need to be calm, we can invoke calm energy. If we are without creative ideas, we can invoke our inspiration.
Of course, there are obvious limitations to this. A person going through the grief process cannot simply invoke joy to replace grief permanently. However, a few moments of joy could be a reprieve that would help the process.
There are many ways to try invoking energy. As with any work involving energy, your breath is an essential tool. You can remember the feeling you want to have, focus on that feeling, and inhale while you visualize bringing that feeling into your heart.
You can write an invocation and speak it aloud. You can use colors, herbs, flowers, and stones to invoke. You can use tarot cards or other images for invocation.
The most important part of the process is this. Think about the energy you need, focus on that energy, and breath that energy into being within you.
The StaarCorner
We are so excited that Anthony Perrotta will be presenting at StaarCon 2024. Multi-talented Anthony has a background in fashion and interior design. He runs and operates his magazine, The AstroEdit.
Anthony is an astrologer who specializes in making the abstract feel more tangible. Because astrology is at the heart of everything he does, he has created intersections of art, design, fashion, dreamwork, and poetry with astrology.
We look forward to learning from him and spending time with him, at StaarCon 2024. Get your ticket now and join us, either online or in person!
Tarot Invocations
There are two ways that tarot intersects with invocation for me. One is the invocation I perform before divination. The other is using tarot cards to invoke energies.
I perform an invocation before every tarot reading. Most readers do, although many might call it a prayer or a meditation. Before a reading, I call in every energy and entity that I believe will be helpful in the divination. That includes the Four Elements, my guides and guardians, and the guides and guardians of my client.
We can also use tarot cards to invoke what we need in life. We might use a single card to bring a jolt of energy when tired. Or, we might lay out an altar of many cards to create an energetic shift.
Which cards bring what energies?
As with most things tarot, your intention for the card matters.
The Aces are fabulous to invoke their elements. You might use the Ace of Swords to invoke brilliant words and clear communication. You might use the Ace of Wands to invoke creative inspiration or the Ace of Cups to soften your heart when you are angry.
Reviewing your tarot deck and deciding what energy each card might invoke is a good exercise. You will discover some cards you will avoid invoking and others you will often use in your invocations.
The Week in Review
It’s a new month! Make sure you check out your July TarotScopes on my YouTube channel.
If you happen to be on the Treasure Coast of Florida, or in Palm Beach County, please join us this Sunday at 4 pm ET at Panera Bread in Palm City for our Cards and Conversation Tarot Meetup.
From Around the Web
I love all the ways that tarot and poetry combine. You can imagine my delight at discovering that Camelia Elias is using tarot to create haiku and wants us to join in!
I also love the ways that songs and tarot correlate. On TikTok, I am doing a series that turns song lyrics into tarot readings. I was thrilled to find that Modern Witch connected Björk's songs with tarot cards.
Did you know that StaarCon presenter Brenda Elizabeth AKA Lady Lenormand offers free online Yoga Nidra meditations?
Creation and Divination
Every creative person sometimes finds themselves devoid of inspiration. Every spiritual person will occasionally have a crisis of faith.
At even the most uninspired times, you can create a tarot altar to invoke the energy you need.
Simply find the tarot cards that represent the energy you want to feel. Arrange them in a way that feels right. Add stones, incense, or anything that feels meaningful. Burn a candle if you like, and welcome in the energy your altar brings you.
If your altar is in a safe place, you may leave it assembled for a few hours or days. Or, you may set it up, spend a few moments with it, and then pack it away, knowing it will continue to bring energy to you.

Will You Know it When You See It?
Sometimes intuition guides us, but not always.
“Will I know him when I meet him?” People at the tarot table often ask this when they receive a prediction for a new relationship. They are wondering if, at first meeting, they will have an intuitive sense of recognition that something important has happened.
When I go dress shopping, I often do not know what I am looking for, but I know I will know it when I find it.
Sometimes we feel that way about new jobs, or new houses. When we find the right thing, we just know it.
With relationships, that sense of knowing is less reliable. It can take time to figure out if something is truly going to work.
Most people are searching for something most of the time. Maybe most importantly, for many people there is an overarching search for a sense of purpose or destiny.
Many of us are lucky enough to live long lives. I like to think that, over the course of many years, we can serve many purposes, and fulfill many destinies. I also think that sometimes, ‘destiny’ is what we make it.
When a new opportunity presents itself, we often wonder if this was given to us as part of a destiny. We try to feel a sense of intuition about it. We may perform divination about how the opportunity might unfold.
The truth is, though, very often we can only see the path destiny has laid out for us in the rear-view mirror. Divination is helpful in telling us to steer clear of something, or in encouraging us to pursue an opportunity. Yet very often there will be twists and turns in the road ahead.
Sometimes we will think something is a perfect opportunity, and it will not pan out. Other times we will think something is not going to turn out well, and it has a spectacular outcome. It can happen that something goes badly, but then, later, we see the important purpose that chapter played.
When any sort of opportunity knocks, the way we feel about it may not indicate the ultimate truth about the role it will play in our lives.
When we seek a sense of purpose and destiny in our lives, we are often disappointed. The search for meaning and spiritual fulfillment is a complex thing. We often wonder what we are ‘supposed’ to be doing, and when we will feel like we are living the life for which we are destined.
Sometimes there will be a very real sense of spiritual calling regarding a particular career, endeavor, or relationship. Sometimes we will not have that sense of knowing, but the thing we are doing may still be important and meaningful.
We spiritual people are taught to trust our intuition. That is very necessary. Yet not everything can be immediately felt or understood. No matter how intuitive or psychic a person is, life can still have a sense of mystery. Sometimes that mystery is delightful. Sometimes it is frustrating.
Sometimes we know the truth when we see it, sometimes it takes us a while to figure things out.
The StaarCorner

You can watch our conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Tarot Communication for Clarity and Depth Hybrid Class
Our next ‘Zoom and Room’ tarot class will be Tuesday, November 30, from 7 pm to 9 pm ET.
Tarot is a tool of communication. With tarot, we can communicate and understand our feelings. We can build our relationships. We can brainstorm our projects. We can understand the needs of our body. We can connect with Spirit.
Whether we are reading for ourselves or others, the secret to clarity and depth in tarot readings is to understand how tarot communicate with us, and how tarot helps us communicate with others.
In this class you will learn solid techniques for using tarot to communicate your own feelings, understand what is going on with your body, work well within a group, communicate with spirit, and connect with your creativity. You will also learn how to do these things effectively when reading for others.
Class fee is $40. Sign up now!
Tarot to Help You Know It When You See It
When you are making a big “Is this the right one?” sort of decision, it is time to see what tarot has to say.
You can start by simply asking that question of the cards.
Sometimes yes/no questions can give direct answers, other times the cards offer information that is helpful but not definitive. When that happens, you can ask cards questions such as the following.
What happens if I take this path?
What happens if I do not take this path?
Is there a spiritual significance to this opportunity?
Is there something I need to know about this opportunity?
What is the best way for me to consider this next step?
What do I need to know about problems that may arise from this decision?
Members-Only Livestream on YouTube: Incoming!
All members of my YouTube channel, Christiana Gaudet Tarot, are welcome to join us for a special livestream event on Tuesday, November 16, at 7 pm ET.

New York Magazine has compiled a list of the best tarot and oracle decks!
Cards for Your Consideration
In the search for personal truth and correct decisions on one’s life path, the Ace of Swords can be a powerful tool to help us discern truth and right action.
The Ace of Swords can represent a fact, a truth revealed, or a directive from the Universe to take a particular action.
Use the Ace of Swords in meditation to get clear on your path. When you perform divination to help you make an important decision, the Ace of Swords will often appear to point the way.

To Be the Bigger Person
This week we explore ways to handle difficult people, and how tarot helps us do that.
When we speak of ‘being the bigger person’, we are not speaking of body weight or size. ‘Being the bigger person’ is an expression that speaks of magnanimity, compassion, and forgiveness.
Being the bigger person means that we do not respond to pettiness, rudeness, or immaturity in kind.
Most of us were raised to believe that there is inherent moral goodness in being the bigger person. It can also be in our own best interest to be generous and compassionate. When our personal brand includes a reputation for rising above petty behaviors, there are rewards. We earn the trust and respect of those around us.
Sometimes it feels draining to always be the one to have to rise above the bad behavior of others.
“Why do I always have to be the bigger person?”
“Must I give a pass to this sort of behavior?”
These are questions that arise at the tarot table quite often.
It is understandable to be frustrated with the bad behavior of others. It is normal to struggle against the desire to fight fire with fire.
There is a deeper issue here, too. Being the bigger person should not mean being forced to tolerate abuse. Being the bigger person does not mean allowing others to push past our boundaries.
There is a certain amount of strategy involved in deciding how we need to react to insult, overstepping, or unfair behavior. It matters who the perpetrator is to us. Their intentions matter, and their capability to understand the harm they have caused matters.
Sometimes we need to be the bigger person because we simply are the bigger person. We can take spiritual comfort in the fact that we have a greater capacity for kindness and understanding than some other people do.
Sometimes being the bigger person means having the courage to stand up to a bully, come to someone’s defense, or call out a harmful behavior.
Sometimes strategy dictates that we pick the reaction that is likely to give us the best outcome.
What it means to be the bigger person may change according to the situation. Yet, there is one thing that never changes. That is our need to be clear about the motivation for our own responses. When we need to respond to something unpleasant, we need to check in with our higher self. Are we being reactive, or proactive? Are we acting out of hurt, or out of wisdom?
What is the best possible outcome for this situation, and how can we achieve that?
In the end, that is what it means to be the bigger person.
The StaarCorner
We are excited to announce that Michelle Barrie will be a presenter at StaarCon 2022.

Our June Zoom Tarot Class
On Thursday, June 24, 7 pm to 9 pm ET, join me for the Fearless Wisdom Tarot Workshop on Zoom
Are you a fearful tarot enthusiast? Are there specific cards that make you nervous? Do you want to read for yourself or others, but worry about the cards that might appear?
Join me for a workshop that will help you embrace the healing power of each card, and your own skill and wisdom as a tarot reader.
In this two-hour workshop you will take a deep dive into the cards that disturb you the most. You will learn new ways to process dark images and find the healing and helpful truth within them.
You will learn some best practices for fearless and wise tarot reading, including setting your ethics and boundaries, invoking spirit and creating sacred space.
I Will Be in the Tampa Bay Area This Weekend
There are only a few openings left for house calls in the Tampa Bay area and private sessions in my Wesley Chapel AirBnB this weekend.
If you would like an in-person session with me in the Tampa Bay Area June 11 through 14, please call or text 561-655-1160 to make your appointment.
Tarot Helps Us Do the Right Thing
When we have a moral quandary and are not sure how to respond to a difficult interpersonal situation, tarot can help!
It is a good practice to ask helpful questions of the cards, and to pull a single card, or a few cards, to answer each question.
When the issue is with a person, you might ask questions about what is motivating that person, or the best way to hand that person.
You might ask questions about what the best possible outcome is, and how to achieve that outcome.
You might even as a question as general as “What is the right thing for me to do in this situation?”
If you are feeling sad, angry, or bitter, you can ask the cards for ways to process your feelings.
Join me at Masters of the Tarot at Omega Institute
I am glad to be one of the five teachers presenting the Masters of the Tarot conference at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, this summer. The conference is July 23 through 25.
Founded in the late 1970s, Omega is a unique retreat center that is known and loved by many in our community.
Mary K. Greer and Rachel Pollack have presented a tarot conference there every summer for decades. Of course, last year Omega was unable to open.
I am very excited to be a part of this iconic event as the world begins to restart. Make your plans to join us there!
The Week in Review
The June issue of “The Cartomancer” is out, and available in print and digital format. You will find a lot of great content in this magazine, including a cover story written by me, and a review of StaarCon 2021!
This past week I taught a free class on YouTube. If you missed “Minor Arcana Four, Five, Six” you can catch the replay.
I was excited to get a mention in The Tarot Lady’s monthly “Hit List”.
From Around the Web
From Thought Catalog, a wonderful article about what it means to be the bigger person.
From Odyssey, here is permission to not always be the bigger person.
From Business Insider, here are strategies for dealing with difficult people at work.
Northeastern Summer Tour
From July 26 through August 9, I will be based at True Bikram Yoga in Madison, Connecticut. I will be available for house calls and parties throughout Connecticut, and for private readings in Madison.
I will be able to travel to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York for parties and larger gatherings.
Dates are already booking quickly. Please call or text 561-655-1160 to get your party date or private appointment on the calendar.
Cards for Your Consideration
Which tarot card might ask us to be the bigger person? I think there are many! Major Arcana 8, Strength, comes to mind as a card of compassion. The Six of Pentacles might tell us to be charitable.
There are also cards which tell us to have good boundaries, such as the Seven of Wands and the Four of Pentacles.
Justice, the Ace of Swords, and the Knight of Swords tell us to do the right thing. Sometimes the right thing means standing up, sometimes it means drawing a boundary, and sometimes it means being gracious and forgiving.
