The Right Moment
It is hard to know when the moment is right to make a change or execute a plan. Logic, intuition, and courage must align to find and seize the right moment.
Timing is everything. When we are ready to make a change, seize an opportunity, or have an important conversation, we must feel that the time is right.
Sometimes it is hard to know when the right moment is, or if the right moment will ever come.
Often, the moment is right, but we do not feel ready.
When we look to the past with regret, it is often because of something we failed to do, chose not to do, or forgot to do. For whatever reason, the moment did not feel right, or we did not feel ready.
Regret is never helpful. Whether it is entirely true or not, it feels good to tell ourselves that we did not do something because we just were not ready.
The problem is, sometimes there is a window of opportunity that is only open for a certain time.
We cannot change what we did or did not do in the past. What we can do is be very aware of the present moment. We must act when the time is right. Sometimes, we must do this whether or not we feel ready.
But how do we know the when the moment is right?
There is a combination of logic and intuition that can let us know it is time to move. It may be that the window of opportunity is closing, so there is no choice. It may be that the moment feels right. It may be that divination and signs from the universe seem to give the go ahead.
We must learn to pay attention, use logic, intuition, and divination, and be willing to take a leap before we feel ready. Then, we will seize the right moment for the right opportunities.
The StaarCorner
As the StaarCon 2022 AfterGlow ends, I would like to take a moment to thank our vendors, both online and in person, for being such an important part of StaarCon.
Our vendors share their creativity, along with their time, expertise, and energy, to make sure we have lasting mementos and tools to enjoy long after the conference has ended.
If you are interested in being a vendor for StaarCon 2023, please email me.
Hybrid Minor Arcana Tarot Class
On Thursday, March 31 at 7 pm ET I am teaching a hybrid tarot class on the Minor Arcana of tarot. The class is called Minor Arcana Numbers, Elements, and Truth. You can attend in person in Palm City, or online on Zoom.
This class is great for beginners, intermediate readers, and professionals.
In this class you will learn how numerology and the Four Elements can help you find the lessons, stories, and meanings of the forty numbered Minor Arcana cards.
For more information, and to get your ticket, visit the event listing on my website.
Is the Moment Right? Find Out with Tarot
If you are planning to do something and want to know when the right time will be, divination can help. Astrology can give information about auspicious timing. A pendulum can let you know if the right moment is now.
Asking the correct questions of tarot can give a great deal of insight when it comes to timing the execution of your plan.
Here are some helpful questions to ask.
What happens if I do this right now?
What happens if I wait?
What happens if I do this in three months?
What signs will tell me the time is right?

Forbes gives us 15 Strategies for Finding Courage.
Here are 12 Ways to Tap Into Your Inner Knowing.
Tarot appears in movies and television quite often. Sometimes the readings we see in fiction are based on actual tarot knowledge and tradition. Sometimes, not so much. Here is a fun article from Collider about that.
Guidance on The Journey
Most tarotists agree that predicting timing is one of the hardest things to do. Yet, when we look to tarot cards to give us information about qualities of time rather than quantities of time, we can often get valuable information about when the right moment will be.
For example, the Knight of Swords and the Eight of Wands suggest swift action. The Knight of Pentacles advises us to take our time. Temperance, the High Priestess, and the Hermit all advise patience. The Aces may tell us to strike while the iron is hot.
When you are working with your tarot cards, consider which cards are slow, and which are quick. Which cards advise action, and which cards advise us to wait?

Things of Quality Have No Fear of Time
This week we explore time and tarot.
Things of Quality Have No Fear of Time
Some things are worth the wait
This week a friend on Instagram reminded me that I often use this quote. That’s because it makes so much sense to me, on so many levels.
I whisper it to myself when I am running woefully behind on a self-imposed writing deadline. I say it again to myself when I look in the mirror and see the signs of age that seem to emerge almost daily. I say it yet again to justify spending a bit of money on something that is built to last, rather than something cheaper and disposable. I say it to my clients who are impatiently waiting for a good thing that I see coming to them – a new relationship, a new job, or healing of body, mind and spirit.
None can escape the passage of time, and so often we worry that we have missed the boat, that we are running out of time, that we aren’t moving quickly enough. It’s true that time will wait for none of us, and some things do have an expiration date. Yet, there is a blessing that happens when we can gracefully accept that good things are worth the wait and that doing good work is worth the extra time.
Time adds value to some things. We see this with cheese, wine, and lovely antiques. When we allow ourselves to have the perspective that time adds value to our lives, rather than slowly stealing our lives away, our lives become much richer.
Tarot Tour Guide is Available on Amazon!
After much patience, I am happy to announce that the Second Edition of Tarot Tour Guide is now available in paperback on Amazon.
First published in 2012 and out of print since 2016, Tarot Tour Guide is a comprehensive tarot book that offers beginners an understanding of the cards and how to use them. It also offers experiences readers techniques, exercises, spreads and meditations to deepen your tarot practice.
This Second Edition is gently edited and expanded.

If you prefer a signed copy with a dedication, you can buy the book on line at christianagaudet.com.
Too Late Tarot Reading
Sometimes we wonder if we have let too much time pass. Is it too late to start a business, or go back to school, or fall in love?
I often think that people don’t do what they want to do because the think it’s too late, when it’s really not.
It’s a good practice to check in with tarot, either by reading for yourself or getting a reading with a talented professional, to see if you still have time to make something happen.
If you want to read for yourself, simply shuffle and ask a question like, “Can I make this happen?”
When I have done this for others, I have sometimes been surprised by the answers I’ve received. I have seen that middle-aged people could change their careers, and then I have watched them actually do it successfully. I’ve seen older women become parents. I’ve seen senior citizens finally find the love of their lives.
Sometimes we try to talk ourselves out of trying for something because we believe our time has passed. If we are indeed too late, tarot may suggest something else for us to do.
But sometimes, tarot will encourage us to go for it. In my experience, when that happens, the possibilities for success are much better than we may have thought.
The Week in Review
This week I started something new – Three-card tarot readings on Facebook Live, archived on my YouTube channel. Check out my Three Card Spread in honor of Star Wars Day, and three cards for the week of May 6-12.
For my tarot-reading friends I shared a blogpost about doing readings for yes or no questions.

Cards for Your Consideration
This week, I would like you to consider five cards that can often speak of time. The first two are from the Major Arcana. The Hermit, Major Arcana 9, is known as ‘Father Time’. The lantern he carries was originally an hourglass. It became a lantern at a time when candles were used as timekeepers. Therefore, he now carries the light of wisdom that is also a clock. The message here is of the wisdom that is acquired over time, and that it is often wise to be patient.
Three common keywords for Major Arcana 14, Temperance, are art, alchemy and time. Temperance tells us that time is one of the ingredients needed to create the recipe for the perfect blend, the right solution and the correct balance in life.
The next two cards are both Knights, one fast, one slow. The Knight of Pentacles is the slowest of the Knights. He reminds us to take our time and tells us that things may happen slowly. The Knight of Swords is the quickest of the Knights and may tell us that something is coming quickly, or that we need to act with all speed.
Our final card is the Eight of Wands, which is all about fast action. It heralds quick change and fast news. The Eight of Wands advises that you be swift.
Predicting time with tarot can be challenging. These five cards can help us understand our relationship with time. These cards can often let us know whether things will happen quickly, or whether we will be practicing patience as we wait for what comes next.
