Six Words for Love
This week we explore the nature of love.
Six Words for Love
Love is all around us.
So often, when we hear the word ‘love’, we think only of romantic partnership. As fulfilling and joyous as having the right partnership can be, many people are not partnered, either by circumstance or choice. Yet, we all have love in our lives. Our ability to love is essential to our health and happiness in life.
Many religions consider the greater concept of love to be central to their understanding of Higher Power.
The ancient Greeks had at least six different words to describe love. We can use these words to understand the love that we currently have in life, and to help us set goals to be more loving, more appreciative of the love we have, and to welcome new love.
Philia is the love we share with friends and colleagues.
Eros is romantic, passionate love.
Agape is the spiritual love we feel for, and from, a Higher Power, and our spiritual community. Agape inspires charity, and our good will toward others.
Storge is the love we feel for our children, our animals, and those for whom we take responsibility. Storge can also describe the love we have for our country, or for our favorite sports team.
Pragma is the word used to describe love in a very long-standing relationship.
Philautia is to love oneself, and to hold oneself in esteem.
When we think of love in this expansive way, we understand that love is not in short supply, or something that is given to only the lucky few.
In metaphysics we learn that ‘like attracts like’. Perhaps the best way to bring more love into our lives is to practice being more loving. This becomes easier when we understand all the different ways love manifests in our lives.
A Special Tarot Class about Relationships
This Sunday, February 10 at 4 pm, I am teaching a special class in my conference room in my Palm City office called “Tarot Readings for Personalities and Relationships”.

Cards for Your Consideration
This week I would like to share with you a unique oracle given to me by a dear friend. This is a set of reincarnation cards called “Awakening Far Memory”. Although this interesting oracle was published in 2007, I had never seen nor heard of it before, and was delighted to discover it.
In my exploration of this oracle set I have found that it offers helpful information pertinent to the present moment, as well as contemplation of the soul’s past.
The cards are colorful and evocative, and the hardcover book is well-written and detailed.
Can these cards really tell us about our past lives? Of course, that is subjective and unverifiable, and therefore open to debate. Yet, I have discovered that the process of working with these cards can be extremely enlightening and thought-provoking.
In a world where new oracle decks are released weekly, it can be hard to find something unique. “Awakening Far Memory”, by John M. Knowles and Linda Leblanc, is truly innovative and inspiring. You can find this oracle on Amazon or ask for it at your favorite bookstore.
In-Person Readings, Parties and a Meetup in the Tampa Bay Area
I will be in the Tampa Bay Area February 15 through 18. I have some availability for private readings, house calls and psychic house parties.
I am also excited to host a rare Tarot Meetup in at Panera Bread in Lutz on Sunday, February 17 from 3 to 5 pm.

Numerology with Zuri
Hello Bright Sparks!
This week, we end our journey into the numbers by exploring the 10 and its vibrational influence within the cards of the Tarot. Through the lens of the Tarot, any of the Tens is a signal of climbing the mountain and reaching the summit, the highest peak, and ultimately the end of that particular experience. With the 10 of Swords, we see something has come to an end. You’ve taken it as far as it can go and there is no where to go but up. Unfortunately, it can come with a certain level of pain to realize that a story or chapter has concluded, oftentimes without a happy ending. But, we must also look at the number 10 from a numerological standpoint, and when you break it down to its essence, it’s a 1. That supports us in knowing that from these endings comes a new beginning just around the corner with the Ace of Swords. It may require a shift in perspective to leave what is now outgrown and done in the past, so we can see the new beginning that the Ace has in store for us.
The 10 of Cups is reaching emotional fulfillment and the adventure of a romantic pairing that finally reaches a level of commitment or domesticated bliss. From there, feelings can only grow and when we break down the 10 in numerology, we see that we take our partner’s hand and embark on a new emotional adventure together through the eyes of the Ace of Cups. Another thing to point out, is the 0 that stands next to the 1. From my experience as a numerologist and Tarot reader, I see that 0 as a God force, that a new cycle is spiritually supported and guided in its forward motion. So, even with the 10 of Swords, you must consider that from that ending, you are being Divinely protected and it was meant to leave your life so something better can take residence from the vacancy in your heart.
The 10 of Wands speaks of burdens and responsibilities that you’re carrying upon your shoulders. That 10 again is reminding us of how far you’ve come in your career or work related journey and you are almost there, you just have to put in the extra hours, the elbow grease and the sweat equity to get that company, project or position off the ground and into more stable footing. Think about doctors doing their residency work and needing to push through the sleep deprived long hours to finally make it into the hospital position they are hoping for.
Lastly, we have the 10 of Pentacles. This is typically the pinnacle of success. It takes you beyond just the 9 of Pentacles and becoming her own boss to really having a fat nest egg for retirement and building a legacy for future generations. You’re financially solvent and made sacrifices along the way (think about what you had to give up even at the mid half of the journey with the 5 of Pentacles) but you scrimped, saved with that 4 of Pentacles, built your portfolio and resume with that 8 of Pentacles, to finally afford your Mcmansion in that gated community. Now it’s all about the maintenance, meeting with your financial advisor to invest wisely and keep that good fortune growing. Because just as the other 10s that came before it, the 10 of Pentacles is looking towards the future of the Ace of Pentacles, which is all about ways to add to that fortune and grow the company you’ve built from the ground up.
Some questions to consider when you find a predominance of 10s in a spread are: What’s coming to an end? How far can I take this particular situation? What can I do to maintain or grow what I have?
This week’s vibrational takeaway in working with the 10 is to take a moment and look around you. Reflect on how far you’ve come, what lessons may be coming from this current experience, and face forward. A new beginning is just around the corner. And depending on what the Universe has in store for you, you will either be building upon the success you’ve built, or leaving something behind to embark on a totally new chapter in your life. Take a page from the ultimate 10 vibration Tarot Card: The Wheel of Fortune. It is a karmic reminder that nothing ever stays the same. With endings, come changes and new beginnings. Stay adaptable to new experiences and opportunities for growth. If your luck is down like in the example of the 10 of Swords, the Universe will spin the wheel and bring in new ways to get back on your feet and celebrating life again. However, if your luck has been good, such as with that 10 of Pentacles, the Wheel may be a spiritual message to not rest on your laurels. It’s time to activate the power of that Ace of Pentacles to see what you can do to keep that prosperity and abundance moving and grooving in your world.

Every Journey is a Healing Journey
This week, we explore the healing journey that is life.
One of the things I hear often in my tarot practice is this. “I have been working on healing and spiritual growth for a long time. When will I be finished with this healing journey?”
The answer (which no one likes to hear) is NEVER.
I have come to believe that our purpose here on planet Earth is simply this. We are here to heal ourselves, each other, and the planet. The measure of our healing is our ability to be happy today, where we are, with what we have.
Every day, each one of us is on a healing journey, whether we know it, or not, and whether we like it, or not.
The frustration is real.
When we embark on a healing journey because we want something more than healing, we can see our commitment to healing as a barter with the Universe. “I’ll go to yoga if you send me a boyfriend”.
While it is true that, as we heal, we become abler to attract the right people and situations into our lives, healing needs to be done for the sake of healing only.
We can also become frustrated that, at a mature age, we are still dealing with issues that began in childhood. This isn’t unusual. We all spend most of our adult lives recovering from the first twenty years. That’s because a lot of the programming we receive is unconducive to good mental health.
Perhaps our planetary culture will evolve to the point that we damage our children less. Until then, we each bear the responsibility for our own healing from childhood issues, even if it takes a lifetime.
Often, the healing journey feels frustrating because we want to be more perfect right now. The truth is, patience with ourselves, and with our journey, is its own healing lesson.
I think the trick is to normalize our need for healing. No one feels embarrassed about going to the dentist, or getting a mammogram. Dealing with therapists and healers should invoke no stigma.
Every part of ourselves, body, mind and spirit, needs constant maintenance and healing. The more we can embrace our journey through life as a journey of self-care and healing, the more we can enjoy the journey.
Healing from Emotional Triggers with Tarot
One of the biggest and most easily propagated type of hurt I see is the emotional trigger.
A situation, large or small, may cause you to feel angry, or hurt, or sad. You react to the situation, without realizing that the level of pain you are feeling is not really caused by the situation at hand. The situation has reminded your subconscious of something bigger, and more painful, in your past. That’s truly why you are so upset.
When we can recognize our triggers when they happen, we can immediately feel better, and stop allowing small problems to give us huge pain. We can identify the true source of the pain, and work on healing that.
If we can avoid reacting to our triggers, we can avoid causing deeper problems in our current relationships.
When something upsets you, have a conversation with your cards about it, or create a tarot spread to help you deal with it.
One of the most important questions to ask of your cards in this situation is “Why is this upsetting me so much?”
Another is, “How should I address this with the other people involved?”
The more we can recognize our triggers, the more we can avoid making our current situations worse, and the more we can cultivate authentic and healthy emotional responses.
Explore tarot as a way to do exactly that.

Numerology with Zuri
Number Seven
Hello Bright Sparks!
Last week, the focus was all about caregiving, the home and the responsibilities of being everyone’s cosmic parent in some way, shape or form. Our identity was clearly defined and molded by the roles we adopted by nurturing and self-sacrificing for the needs of others.
This week, we shed those labels, in an effort to recharge our spiritual batteries and work on rediscovering our own balance and center. Under the angelic wings of the 7 vibration, we realign with our inner compass by disconnecting from the outside chatter to hear our personal truths.
As a 7, you may need your quiet time and personal space to hear yourself think, to reflect on the day’s events and to do the necessary research to find the answers to that nagging mystery or puzzle. Don’t be surprised if you preferred to spend your time at the library rather than at a frat party. Or maybe you were drawn to the sciences as a college major. Much like Sherlock Holmes, you’re an investigator, a seeker of wisdom, always in search for the deeper meaning or secrets to life. With that being said, your BS meter is always on high alert, making you the natural skeptic of the group and never taking anything just at face value.
A 7 will definitely make you think, question and dig deeper for solutions. But one of the biggest lessons of the 7 is to also learn how to have faith and trust. Not everything will fit in a perfect little box, and sometimes part of the cosmic lesson of the 7 when you see it in the world around you, is to let go and let God, because there is a Divine plan in action.
The 7 will teach you to trust where your hut (heart & gut) is leading you. Listen to your instincts, leave a door open for the Angelic guides to step through and show you a new way or bring the people into your life who are meant to be a part of the next step.
This is further supported when we look at how the 7 plays out in the Tarot’s Minor Arcana. The 7 of Wands shows a man needing to stand up for himself and his beliefs. He’s not listening to anyone else. He’s going at it alone but finds strength in his convictions. The 7 of Pentacles confirms that there is a Divine timing at play when waiting for the fruits of our labor to come into tangible reality. So as much as we want to direct the course, sometimes we need to step back, re-assess the situation and allow God to take the reigns for our highest and best good. The 7 of Cups is a card of too many choices, and needing to turn inward for deeper clarity. And ultimately, the 7 of Swords is a reminder to never take anything at face value. In true 7 fashion, it calls for skepticism and discernment in uncovering the truth.
This week’s vibrational takeaway in working with the 7 is to turn the mirror back on yourself. What do you see? Do you like what you see? What needs deeper analysis or healing? Maybe it’s a call to action to unplug from society. Spend some time in nature and enter into a state of introspection and self-reflection. Where do you need to create a sanctuary of peace and solitude? Where do you need to investigate and uncover what may be a deeper mystery? Is your life lacking a spiritual foundation? Engage in meditation or deeper research right now. When in doubt, trust your vibes and have faith that you will be guided to the right outcome in the right time.
The answers lie within you.
With love & stardust!

Three Types of Healing We All Need, and Some Tarot Cards That Can Help
Healing from guilt and shame
We are raised to feel shame for our bodies and their natural functions, and guilt for our personalities and natural desires.
One tarot card that can often reflect guilt and shame is the High Priestess reversed. A healing exercise is to meditate with the High Priestess in her upright position, and claim the natural perfection of your human form.
Healing from low self-worth
Most of us suffer from a lack of self-esteem. We have a hard time visualizing our success, celebrating our accomplishments, or believing that we deserve good things.
The Nine of Pentacles can be a card of self-confidence and self-esteem. Meditate with the Nine of Pentacles to help feel more secure in yourself.
Healing from the need to please others
Of course, we want to please the people around us. However, sometimes we get caught in the trap of please those who don’t have our best interests at heart, or pleasing people at the expense of pleasing ourselves. When we have our own approval, we don’t need the approval of others. When we surround ourselves with people who truly care about our happiness, finding happiness is easier.
There are many tarot cards that speak of the richness of family and community in healthy ways, like the Three of Cups, the Four of Wands and the Ten of Cups. When we feel torn between our own needs and the needs of others, we need to work to manifest appropriate community relationships. These cards can help!
If we are feeling treated unfairly by others, the Justice card can bring balance, and the Lovers can help us appropriately integrate with others.

Your One-Card Weekly Reading
The Fool
Drawn at random, this is the perfect card for our conversation about the healing journey.
While the Fool is a very important card, and can have many interpretations, there is one obvious interpretation in light of our topic.
This week, the Fool asks you to honor your inner child.
Sometimes healing the inner child means recognizing the mistakes that well-intentioned parents have made. Remember, every parent gives their kids something to tell a therapist.
Sometimes healing the inner child means allowing yourself the opportunity to nurture your own inner child in ways that you weren’t nurtured in your actual childhood.
Sometimes the inner child simply wants to play, create, learn and explore.
This week, make time in your adult life to honor your playful nature, to heal your wounded inner child, and to nurture yourself.
All of these things are part of your healing journey, and all are encouraged by the Fool.

What the Cards Teach Us
Each tarot card can teach us important things about life! This week's newsletter includes Zuri's take on the number 6, and great opportunities for tarot study and fellowship.
We often talk about tarot as something to be learned, to use as a tool for fortune-telling and divination. It’s very true that, to be a great tarot reader, some learning and study is required.
This week I want to talk about a different aspect of tarot learning. That is, the lessons the cards can inherently teach us about life.
In divination, when cards appear in a reading, they can give us specific information about our lives. They can give us advice. Sometimes the cards call us out on our poor behavior.
When we think about the lessons of the cards, each card can function as a proverb, or a spiritual text, that teaches us something about life, the Universe, and everything. When we think of the cards in this way, we can add a new level of spiritual insight to our divination.
Beyond that, we can use the cards as a book of spiritual wisdom. Whether or not a particular card appears for you in divination, the lesson you have learned from the study of that card is valuable every day.
When you do see a card in a reading, the interpretation becomes richer and more insightful, because of your understanding of its spiritual lesson.
When we learn tarot this way, tarot study becomes exciting and informative. Once we learn the lessons the cards have for us, we will easily know how to interpret them in readings. Then, we carry their wisdom with us always.
Three Ways to Find the Lessons in the Cards
When we study tarot, we are often caught up in learning “what the card means”. It’s necessary to learn keywords and classic interpretations to be a great reader, although most people can give a passable tarot reading simply by looking at the cards and employing their intuition. Yes, the cards are that powerful!
When we look at tarot as a book of spiritual wisdom, we become less concerned with interpretations, and more concerned with spiritual lessons.
Here are three of many ways to add this sort of tarot study to your practice. The added bonus is that when you learn the cards from this perspective, the cards will speak to you in new and profound ways when you use them in divination.
Journal a Card of the Day
If you pull one card every day, or go through the deck in order and study one card each day, you will develop a new appreciation for the deeper lessons of each card. The trick is, once you have your card, you must spend some time with it.
You can also google on the card and read what tarot bloggers have to say about it. Write about the card, and what it means to you. Meditate on it, and picture yourself in a conversation with the chard character, or actually becoming the card character.
Go back to your treatment of this card in a few days, and see how the card has manifested in your life.
Compare and Contrast Tarot with other Sacred Texts
Is there a tarot card that reminds you of a Bible verse, or a poem or prayer? For instance, the Hanged Man reminds me of the Serenity Prayer. The High Priestess reminds me of the Charge of the Goddess.The Sun reminds me of Matthew 5:14, the “You are the light of the world” verse.
When we make associations between the cards and sacred texts, both the cards and the texts will develop deeper meaning for us.
Learn Esoteric Associations for the Cards
There are many associations between tarot and other esoteric systems, such as astrology, the Four Elements, numerology and Kabbalah. Sometimes studying these associations informs our divination style, although sometimes they can confuses us.
However, when you learn these associations from a spiritual perspective, rather than an interpretive one, these associations will help you find the spiritual lessons held within each card.

Song of the Week
Our song of the week is “Digging for Some Words” by Juluka. I loved this song back in the 1980s. This week, it reminded me of the search for wisdom within the tarot.
Numerology with Zuri
Number Six
Hello Bright Sparks!
This week, the focus is on responsibility, home, hearth and family. Whereas last week, we embraced freedom, travel and change, now we have to shift gears and be the caregiver that our tribe needs in order to thrive. So as a 6, you may be taking care of elderly parents, raising children or creating a forever home for a new pet from the local shelter.
Your heart is so big, that you may be tempted to try and rescue the world. Whether it’s mothering your friends or having too many responsibilities dumped on your lap, one of the lessons of the 6 is to learn about balance and not over-give to the point of massive burnt out or resentment. People just expect you to do the right thing and be the one they turn to for support, guidance or advice. And when you’re so busy putting out other people’s fires, you have to be careful not to neglect your needs, enable or become a martyr to the cause (professionally or personally).
Because of their need to nurture and improve the lives of the people around them, 6s make excellent doctors, nurses and therapists. A 6 is also part of the triad of creative numbers, so you may also see them in the beauty industry as a stylist or interior decorator since their homes tend to be well-decorated, warm and always inviting.
Ultimately, a 6 will make you feel very nurtured and taken care of. But on the flip side of that, you may also feel suffocated by all that attention, as the 6 has a strong need to micromanage, interfere or meddle in your affairs when they are operating on the shadow side of their numeric vibration. People with a heavy 6 energy will be learning how to let go, respect boundaries and detach from the outcome throughout their lifetimes.
When you see a predominance of 6s in a reading or pull the Lovers of the Tarot’s Major Arcana, you are being asked to explore balance and use discernment in your choices. The 6 is a vibration of manifestation and having the ability to garner the support you need to overcome adversity and rise to the occasion.
Some questions to ponder when you find the 6 vibration affecting your outer world are: Where do I need to take more responsibility and support a person or situation to the best of my ability? Where do I need more balance and harmony in my life? Am I comfortable saying no and having healthy boundaries? Is it time for a style makeover? What can I do to bring more beauty to my home or sacred spaces?
This week’s vibrational takeaway in working with the 6 is to explore love and how you choose to express it in your relationships. Is there a balanced give and take? This is an opportunity to re-evaluate your own needs and see where they are on the priority list. Meditate on the Tarot’s Devil card which also vibrates to a 6 to help you let go of self-sacrifice or negative behaviors that are not allowing you to move on and experience more harmony in your life.
Lots of love!

Listing the Lessons
Here’s a great tarot exercise that you can do on your own or in a group. Simply go through the cards, one by one, in order, and think of, and write down, a specific lesson that each card teaches.
For example, you might say that the Fool teaches us to explore the world with more joy than fear. Or, that the Fool teaches us to honor the inner child.
There are no right or wrong answers here. You’ll also find that, in many cases, the Minor Arcana cards offer lessons that are just as profound and meaningful as the Major Arcana cards do.

Your One-Card Weekly Reading
Four of Cups
Your one-card reading this week is the Four of Cups.
In the image, we see a person who isn’t happy with the cups he has, or the cup that is being offered.
The Four of Cups can chastise us for having a poor attitude.
This card can remind us that, when life gives us lemons, we should make lemonade.
Alternatively, this card can speak of being picky in either a helpful or unhelpful way.
Sometimes, the right thing is to wait for something better.
Sometimes, the right thing is to take what you can get.
Often, your own reaction to the image is what determines the particular interpretation.
When you look at the character in the Four of Cups pictured here, what do you think he should do?
Should he pick a cup, or should he wait?
Whatever feels best to you is your best advice for this week.
