Maybe It’s Not Too Late!

The Universe sometimes saves the best for last!

Sometimes it’s only too late if you think it is! Try a new Divine Timing tarot spread to achieve your goals, and see what’s on the schedule for August. In This Issue Maybe It’s Not Too Late!

Divine Timing Tarot Spread September: The Final Northeastern Tour of 2018 How to Have a Reading with Christiana Upcoming Events About Christiana Maybe It’s Not Too Late!   One of the biggest anxieties I see at the tarot table is the fear of the missed opportunity. There is even a specific tarot card that expresses that fear; the Five of Pentacles.   Typically, in that card image we see injured, impoverished people trudging in the snow past a lit building wherein we imagine they might have found shelter.   The question that card sometimes causes us to ask is whether we ourselves have failed to see the opportunity to enter the metaphoric building, or if we have been denied entry or cast out by something over which we have no control.   Is it too late to turn around and enter the door?   It’s true that sometimes we miss once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and it’s sad when that happens. That can be our own fault, the fault of others, or sometimes just poor timing or bad luck.   Very often, though, I think we miss opportunities because we believe we are already too late, when really, if we thought about it a different way, we might be right on time.   Whether it’s love, success, creativity or happiness we desire, giving up because we believe it’s too late to find what we want is very often a cop-out, and a self-fulfilling prophesy.   The next time you find yourself thinking that a ship has already sailed, think again! Sometimes things of quality just take time to manifest, and sometimes the Universe saves the best for last!   From Around the Web   More Thoughts on Time and Tarot   If you still need convincing that it is not too late for success, here are 9 Late Bloomer Success Stories from Medium.com.   It’s certainly never too late for love! Here are 5 Tips for Finding Love Later in Life from Psychology Today.   Here’s something I wrote a few years ago about finding opportunity in the Five of Pentacles.   Interested in learning more about how to see timing in your tarot cards? Here’s a blog post I wrote about seven tarot cards that can indicate timing.   Looking to make a change in your life?

This is a great class for anyone interested in tarot, from beginner to professional.   This class is a free and informal event. Bring a snack and/or beverage to share if you like.   On Sunday, August 19th at 4 pm I am offering “Tarot Basics and Beyond”. This is a foundational tarot class perfect for beginners, and for those who want to refresh or expand their knowledge.   Class size is limited to eight students. Class fee is $30. You must pay in advance to register, so sign up now!   Each month you can expect exciting free and premium events in my new conference room.   You can even use the conference room for a tarot party! Simply gather your friends and give me a call at 561-655-1160. You and each of your friends can enjoy a reading in the privacy of my reading room while everyone enjoys conversation, snacks, beverages and tunes in the conference room!   Divine Timing Tarot Spread   We are all waiting for something, whether it is the manifestation of our goals and wishes, the completion of a project, healing from trauma or a long-anticipated relationship.   As time goes on, sometimes it feels that our working and waiting will never avail us. Very often that discouragement causes things to take even longer!   This is an original 13-card tarot spread designed to help you set, understand and meet your goal, cultivate patience along the way, and proactively work toward your success.   Think about a long-term goal, personal or professional, that you have been frustrated with, or worried that it is too late to manifest.   Arrange twelve cards like the face of a clock, starting with the 1 o’clock position as the first card, and laying the cards out clockwise, letting the last card be the 12 o’clock.   Place a final thirteenth card in the very center.   When you interpret a larger spread such as this one, make sure you interpret trends in distribution – are there suits that are prevalent, or missing? Are there lots of Major Arcana cards, or few? What stories do the cards help each other tell? Do some cards give more information than others, or seem more significant?   Card 1 describes your goal, or your feelings about your goal. Card 2 describes your ability, or actions, or advice to visualize, plan and manifest your goal. Card 3 describes how you enlist and engage people around you in the process of working toward your goal. Card 4 describes your fears, worries or problems dealing with the passage of time, and how long it is taking, or might take, to fulfill your goal. Card 5 describes the impediments thus far – why is it taking so long, or what problems have arisen? Card 6 offers advice to get yourself moving and motivated. Card 7 describes something you think or tell yourself that isn’t helpful in achieving your goal. Card 8 discusses your time management habits as they affect achieving your goal. Card 9 discusses the role luck and fate may play in your future success. Card 10 discusses the lessons and achievements you have already accomplished. Card 11 discusses your capacity for patience, or what you must do to be more patient. Card 12 shows us your possible final outcome.   The final card, in the center, has to do with divine timing. This is an opportunity for the Universe to ring in and give you advice or insight regarding the spiritual aspects and implications of achieving your goal in the perfect time, and why the perfect time might be later than you thought!   When you perform the spread, consider the advice you are receiving. If there are cards that don’t seem to support your ultimate success, think about what you can do to change those energies and move forward. Interpret all cards as advice for your ultimate success.   September: The Final Northeastern Tour of 2018   I want to thank everyone who had parties, attended classes and came to see me for private readings at True Bikram Yoga and on the Upper East Side during my June trip.   I'm now making plans for my September tour, the final one of the year.   I will be flying in to Connecticut on September 5th and returning to Florida on the 19th.  I will be making a side trip to NYC on the 7th and 8th.  If you would like to schedule a party, house call or event, or would like to book a private reading at True Bikram Yoga in Madison, CT or on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, please call or text 561-655-1160, or email me.   How to Have a Reading with Christiana   Tarot is a tool that helps us understand what is going on in life.

Create Your Success, Regardless of Your Circumstance

Create Your Success, Regardless of Your Circumstance

While we are all created equal, we do not come in to this world with equal advantage.

Many times, we cannot control our circumstances, or the way fortune works in our lives.

The control we do have is how we react to every situation.

The more we are willing to work with what we have with a positive attitude, and the less we lament our sorrows and shortcomings, the more success we have.

Call it “The Secret”, the Law of Attraction, creative visualization or the power of positive thinking – it all means the same thing.

When we make the best of a situation, no matter what it is, we receive blessings.

When we have gratitude, even during difficult times, we end up with even more for which to be grateful.

Often it seems that the holiday season points out the things that are lacking in our lives, be they money, health, a dear loved one, or the energy to get everything done in time.

This year, if you are focusing on a particular lack or loss, it’s appropriate to acknowledge that. It’s OK to wish things were different.

As you look to the New Year, however, take the time to imagine and visualize wonderful things for yourself and for those around you.

Consider your blessings, no matter how small, with gratitude.

It can be a challenge to stay positive in life when it feels that life is throwing you curve-balls. Rising to that challenge will help you make the most of what is, and help you create the best 2017 you can.

The more you can visualize your success, regardless of your circumstance, the more successful you will be.

Three Ways to Make the Most of What You’ve Got During the Holidays and Beyond

So often during the holidays we get caught up in the stress and expectations of the season. When that happens, we often lose sight of our blessings, and lose focus from our goals.
 
1. Be Prayerful.
If there is something you need, ask for it in prayer. Let prayer be a tool of healing, and of comfort. As you pray, you attune your energy to your need, or your goal.
 
2. Be Mindful.
While it is important to plan for the future, it is equally important to stay in the moment. That can be hard when we are counting down the days to a holiday, but that makes your mindfulness even more important. Let the season be more about your presence than your presents.
 
2. Be Divinatory.
Whether you use tarot, runes or simply check in for answers, divine on questions like this:

How can I be more mindful?

How can I be more appreciative?

What must I do to create what I want in my life?

How can I better cope with my difficulties?

What spiritual gifts can I find within the things that cause me to suffer?

The Week in Review

Now that we are moved to a lovely condo in Stuart and my office is open in Palm City, I’ll be getting back to the business of blogging, making videos, and sending regular newsletters.

Here are a few things I have managed to publish recently.

On my Dark Forest Blog, I shared a piece of “Uncommon Business Advice”. Stop looking for your niche, and let it find you!

On my YouTube Channel, here’s another answer to a question about tarot. (Please subscribe while you are there!)
 

From Around the Web

When I was in college I had to read a book that ended up changing my life. That book was Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning”.
Today I stumbled on this wonderful article about Mr. Frankl and his stunning perspective and philosophy.

Here’s another tarot-based writing prompt from Jamie Morris.

If you are gift shopping for the witchy woman in your life, try these fun subscriptions!
 

Song of the Week

In keeping with our theme, here is Ella Fitzgerald with “Aint’ What You Do, It’s the Way That You Do It”. If you are looking for something a little more contemporary, here’s Bananarama and Fun Boy 3’s cover of the same song.

Your One-Card Weekly Reading

Four of Pentacles

Did you miss these weekly readings while the newsletter was on hiatus? I know I did!

This week’s card is the Four of Pentacles.

Often we see this as the card of the miser; it can discuss selfishness, or a “lack mentality”.

In the context of our theme this week, this card instructs us not to focus on what we don’t have.

However, this card can encourage us to take good care of ourselves and our resources.

In dealing with others, the Four of Pentacles advises good boundaries. This can be an important message as we plan to gather with family members.

This week, take care of yourself. Try to worry less about what you don’t have, and be grateful for what you do have. And, if necessary, make sure you keep comfortable boundaries with the people around you.
