Passion is a word that can describe anything from romance to doll collecting. It describes a deep feeling of joy, connection and motivation. In metaphysics, passion is related to the element of Fire, and therefore connected to our creativity, our spirituality and our desire for romance. Some people are lucky enough to be passionate about their careers. Others at least have hobbies and interests about which they are passionate. Some people have yet to discover their passion. Our passions are connected to our sense of identity and individuality. It is important to give yourself permission to discover your passions and pursue them. Tarot Spread to Discover and Persue Your Passion This tarot spread can help you discover a new passion and pursue it. It is a three-card spread. Card one will describe something that can be a new passion for you. Card two will give advice about how to pursue it. Card three will describe the way in which this will benefit you. Three-card readings are a helpful way to work with tarot. This three-card reading is a simple way to motivate yourself to bring more passion into your life. The Week in Review This week we have two great contributions from Joanne Matthew to our Tarot Topics Community Blog. Enjoy Tarot Cards Plan a Vacation and Major Arcana Job Applications or Careers. In addition to being really fun to read, Joanne’s posts help us to understand the Major Arcana cards on a deeper level. This week I answered a question about Court Cards in my Answers to You Questions about Tarot series. Read the post and watch the video to get some ideas of ways of interpreting Court Cards. On my Dark Forest Blog I wrote about my new hobby, gardening. Read My Accidental Garden. On Tarot Trends, my personal blog, I wrote about the frustrations that surround making positive changes in behavior. Read Ready to Heal. From Around the Web On The New Age Review Barbara Graver writes a fascinating piece about attending a mediumship intensive, called Connecting with Spirit: Taking a Closer Look at my Spirit Guide Team. Arwen Lynch wrote a great piece about the tarot Eight of Cups called Stagnation Makes me Giddy. I love Arwen’s writing style, and her take on the cards. Do you know James Ricklef? He is a well-known reader with a style like no other. Check out some of his Pithy Tarot Meanings. How Passions Are Revealed in Tarot The tarot suit of Wands is associated with the element of Fire, so each Wands card in some way speaks to passion. There are other cards that we can interpret to discuss our passions, hobbies and spiritual and creative endeavors. Here is a list of some of them. The Three of Cups can indicate a passion for music, dance, party planning or entertaining. The Three of Pentacles can indicate passion for one’s career. The Six of Pentacles can indicate a passion for charity and community involvement. The Six of Wands can indicate a passion for sports and athletics, or a competitive nature. The Six of Swords can indicate a passion for science and discovery. The Nine of Pentacles and the Seven of Pentacles can indicate a passion for gardening. The Ten of Pentacles can indicate a passion for one’s home and décor. The High Priestess can indicate a passion for studious and meditative spiritual development.

Christiana in Connecticut and Pennsylvania I will be in Connecticut from August 2 to August 11. I will be traveling from July 31 to approximately August 15.

I assume I will have internet access at certain points during my trip. Wherever you are in the world, please do not hesitate to call me at 561-655-1160 to schedule your reading by phone or Skype. Your One-Card Weekly Reading Your one-card reading for the week is the Ten of Wands. In the Waite version of this card we see a person carrying a heavy load. A town is in the distance. Some people see this as a card of oppression. It can certainly describe feeling overwhelmed and over-burdened. This card asks you to consider the burdens you are carrying. Are you carrying emotional baggage from the past that no longer serves you? Are you taking on responsibilities or worries that are not really yours? Do you unavoidably have a lot on your plate? Are you working on a major project? If you are carrying something you don’t need to carry it is time to let it go. If what you are carrying is appropriate, know that you will have the strength to do what you need to do, and that the situation will not last forever. Upcoming Events Sunday, August 4, 9 pm Christiana’s Psychic Café This week our encore presentation will feature Kianga Jinaki and String Band. First aired on February 17th, this show remains one of my very favorites. It’s about creativity and following your dreams. Visit the Psychic Café page for more information.
