Tarot by Christiana Weekly Newsletter September 26, 2012

Tarot by Christiana's Weekly Newsletter   September 26, 2012  Tarot Circle Goes Global Many of you know that Tarot Circle began in 2000 in Central Village, CT.   Its goal then, as now, was to foster fellowship, study and growth around the tarot.   The concept is that we can all learn from each other. Another goal of Tarot Circle is to serve the community at large. Over these many years we have raised food, money and toys by donating our skills to those in need. Over the years, we have met in towns throughout Connecticut, Pennsylvania and South Florida.  Now that so much of my business is on-line we are meeting on-line using Webex. The great thing about meeting via Webex is that we have people from all over the world at our meetings...

Tarot Tour Guide Barbara Graver recommends Christiana's Tarot Tour Guide. Read her review on tarottourguide.com. Welcome Autumn!   This past Saturday  we celebrated the Autumnal Equinox, also known as Mabon. This marks a time of gratitude, when we consider our good fortunes; our personal harvest. It is also a time to consider what we would like to harvest in the coming months. What about you? For what are your grateful? And what would you like to manifest in your life in the upcoming months?   Don't Miss the First-Ever Psychic Hour with Christiana on Webex  For many years I was the Resident Psychic on a few broadcast radio and TV stations. Typically, we would have "Psychic Hour" which was a time when anyone could call in, ask a question, and get a free psychic reading with me.  This provided an hour's entertainment for listens, and free readings for those who called. Now, I spend more time doing Psychic Galleries, which are gathering of seekers who come together in sacred space to receive messages from Spirit. What I propose to do this Sunday is a combination of those two energies. For one hour on Sunday, September 30 starting out at 4 pm I will be available on Webex for the first-ever Psychic Hour with Christiana. Log in, ask your question, and stick around to hear the readings of others and participate in the chat room! It's totally free, and I think it will be totally fun - and enlightening! For more information, and for log-in instructions, visit the event listing on celebratespiritualgrowth.com. Your Weekly One-Card Reading  Your one-card reading for the week is the Four of Swords. The Waite Rider Smith Four of Swords pictures the sleeping knight in a death-like pose. Other decks depict the card character recovering from an illness or injury. Still others portray a character clearly in meditation. This card can be about taking a much-need rest. It can be a time out, and a time to recover. This card can indicate the need for meditation, and the need to quiet the mind. The Four of Swords can advise you to create sacred space, and stay away from the craziness of mundane chatter. It gives you permission to take time for yourself. It reminds you of the importance of rest and rejuvenation. If you are obsessing about something, this card is a clear directive to give it a rest! Check Out the Tarot Blog Hop! I didn't realize that tarot blogging was such a "thing" until I started doing in myself, and reading other tarotist's blogs.  Tarot blogs can contain a lot of useful information, from musings to spreads to card interpretations to recipes and jokes. Now I am part of the Tarot Blog Hop. The Tarot Blog Hop blogs together eight times a year. We all agree to write on a particular topic, and to link to the person before us, and the person after us, in a chain. We all post our blogs at the same time, all across the word. This past Saturday was the Mabon Tarot Blog Hop, in honor of the Autumnal Equinox.  Twenty-eight tarot bloggers wrote on the topic of The Power of Transformation. We each had to choose a tarot card, deck or spread to describe the process by which we are transformed, just as grapes and honey are transformed into mead. Check out my blog entry "The Power of Transformation" on tarottrends.com, and then follow the links to see what tarotists all over the world had to say on the same subject!   Tarot Tour Guide Available Now!

Tarot by Christiana Weekly Newsletter September 19, 2012

Hello folks! Although today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day, I will be writing this newsletter in standard English.

Before I tell you about everything I have going on, I want to tell you a few things about new recording technology available for phone and Skype readings. If you have an hour or half hour reading with me, I like to make a recording for you. This has always been the case; when I first started out almost twenty years ago I provided a cassette tape.

Now, you have choices! For a phone reading I can make an audio CD and mail it to you. I can mail you a CD with an MP3 on it. Or, I can email you a link to download the MP3. You can receive and listen to the MP3 on your computer, tablet or smartphone. You can put it in your MP3 player. Some e-readers can do it as well. In most cases you will receive your link within 24 hours of our conversation.

If you have a Skype reading, I can mail you an audio CD of our reading, or a CD with an MP3 it. I can also email you a link to download the MP4 video so you can experience the entire reading again, both audio and video!

If you are interested in Skype but need more information about it, I have added some info on the front page of my main website. Check it out here!

You probably know that I am doing a lot of teaching on line these days. I use Webex, which is an industry standard for on-line meetings and classes. You can attend by logging in on your computer, tablet or smartphone. Or, you can simply attend on the phone by dialing in. Many of my Webex presentations are free, others are premium and available for a small fee. About a recent webinar, one student had this to say.

"totally awesome- really got a great education- was very happy that I attended! I will definitely attend future webinars like these as I am very interested in learning more about tarot and this was very worthwhile and educational. Thank you very much for having it!"

I have recently started a new website called "Celebrate Spiritual Growth."  The Meetup it is linked to is the West Palm Beach Spiritual Growth Meetup. You can join it even if you aren't in West Palm Beach as many of my presentations are by webinar. Here we will explore topics such as psychic development and magick!

I have finally received my first shipment of my new book Tarot Tour Guide. It is a large-size paperback, and, I must admit, it is lovely! You can get Tarot Tour Guide for your e-reader from Amazon, the publisher, Jupiter Gardens Press, or any other e-book distributor. If you would like a signed copy from me, please email me privately. For reviews, and links to purchase, please visit the Tarot Tour Guide website.

I am so happy to be returning to Pearl's for another afternoon of psychic readings. Seating is limited - when last I checked there were only four open spots. Let me know if you would like to attend. After our last gallery, one person had this to say.

Global Tarot Circle - Free Webinar
Sunday, September 23, 2012
5 pm Eastern

http://tarotcircle.org/events/3195
If you are interested in tarot, please join this free webinar. This is a time for us to talk, share and learn about tarot. Our topic for this meeting will be tarot spreads. Do you have questions about spreads? Do you want to learn a new spread? Do you have a favorite spread to share?

I will share some information about getting the most information possible from a tarot spread, so don't miss this! Visit the Tarot Circle website here for all the info you need!

Your Weekly One-Card Reading

Your one-card reading for the week is the Nine of Wands.

I call this card the "Wounded Warrior." The thing to remember is this. Yes, you have suffered. Yes, you have fought. But you are still standing. You can rest for a bit, but you must continue to be alert . Don't go seeking another fight right now, but don't let your guard down either. You are strong enough to handle whatever comes your way.

This card indicates a need for healing, and a need for patience. It may also describe a defensive posture. Are you feeling defensive right now? Is it right for you to be defensive, or is it unnecessary? You may be feeling a bit overwhelmed, but don't worry. You will be able to heal, and you will be able to fulfill your obligations.

Check out my poem about the Nine of Wands!

The Four Elements and the Major Arcana

Monday Sept 10, 2012

7 pm Eastern

Free Webinar

The four elements of life are Earth, Air, Fire and Water. 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.

To download the handout, read more info and log in, visit my Continuing Education website here.

This Week's One-Card Reading

Your one-card reading for the week is The Star.

This is arguably one of the happiest cards in the deck.  It is about healing, hope, fulfillment and abundance.

The Star reminds us that after every difficult time comes the opportunity for healing.

The Star tells us that, no matter what, help from the heavens is never far away.

The Star asks us to be open to the possibility that we can achieve our goals.  Simply put, this week it is time to reach for the stars!

Tarot by Christiana Weekly Newsletter August 30, 2012

Hello folks! Here it is, my last newsletter for the month of August, 2012. I apologize that it is a day late, I usually publish on Wednesday and here it is Thursday! How did that happen?

My only excuse is how busy I have been settling in to our new home, promoting my new book and serving clients worldwide with phone and Skype readings!

I can't even blame Tropical Storm Isaac - he was gentle with us here in Broward County!

Tomorrow is the Blue Moon - I will be available for phone and Skype readings throughout "Blue Moon Day" and over the holiday weekend. Simply call 561-655-1160.

Starting September 9^th I will resume a full schedule of Webinars - check out the complete calendar on my main website here.

Blog with Me!

If you are a tarot reader or tarot student, please consider setting up your own tarot blog on my community tarot blog site. Writing about tarot is a great way to learn and to share! You can post tarot information you have learned, opinions, deck and book reviews, your Card of the Day, and your thoughts and experience along your tarot journey. You will also enjoy reading about what your fellow tarot students are doing!

This Week's One Card Reading

Your One-Card Reading for the week is The Chariot. On a mundane level, the Chariot can be about travel and transportation. It can refer to buying or fixing a car, or going on a trip. On a more spiritual level, the Chariot is about mastery in accordance with your will. It tells you that you are in the driver's seat, and have the ability to direct your life's journey in any way you would like.

The Chariot is also the card of the hero. On your journey, you have the opportunity to be a hero to others!

Some questions to ask yourself this week:

What is my will? What do I really want to do?

What is the nature of my personal journey in this life time?

In what ways have I learned to master my own life?

In what ways can I be helpful to others?

This Week's Special Read

Have a great Blue Moon, and a great holiday weekend!
