To Be the Bigger Person
This week we explore ways to handle difficult people, and how tarot helps us do that.
When we speak of ‘being the bigger person’, we are not speaking of body weight or size. ‘Being the bigger person’ is an expression that speaks of magnanimity, compassion, and forgiveness.
Being the bigger person means that we do not respond to pettiness, rudeness, or immaturity in kind.
Most of us were raised to believe that there is inherent moral goodness in being the bigger person. It can also be in our own best interest to be generous and compassionate. When our personal brand includes a reputation for rising above petty behaviors, there are rewards. We earn the trust and respect of those around us.
Sometimes it feels draining to always be the one to have to rise above the bad behavior of others.
“Why do I always have to be the bigger person?”
“Must I give a pass to this sort of behavior?”
These are questions that arise at the tarot table quite often.
It is understandable to be frustrated with the bad behavior of others. It is normal to struggle against the desire to fight fire with fire.
There is a deeper issue here, too. Being the bigger person should not mean being forced to tolerate abuse. Being the bigger person does not mean allowing others to push past our boundaries.
There is a certain amount of strategy involved in deciding how we need to react to insult, overstepping, or unfair behavior. It matters who the perpetrator is to us. Their intentions matter, and their capability to understand the harm they have caused matters.
Sometimes we need to be the bigger person because we simply are the bigger person. We can take spiritual comfort in the fact that we have a greater capacity for kindness and understanding than some other people do.
Sometimes being the bigger person means having the courage to stand up to a bully, come to someone’s defense, or call out a harmful behavior.
Sometimes strategy dictates that we pick the reaction that is likely to give us the best outcome.
What it means to be the bigger person may change according to the situation. Yet, there is one thing that never changes. That is our need to be clear about the motivation for our own responses. When we need to respond to something unpleasant, we need to check in with our higher self. Are we being reactive, or proactive? Are we acting out of hurt, or out of wisdom?
What is the best possible outcome for this situation, and how can we achieve that?
In the end, that is what it means to be the bigger person.

Our June Zoom Tarot Class
On Thursday, June 24, 7 pm to 9 pm ET, join me for the Fearless Wisdom Tarot Workshop on Zoom
Are you a fearful tarot enthusiast? Are there specific cards that make you nervous? Do you want to read for yourself or others, but worry about the cards that might appear?
Join me for a workshop that will help you embrace the healing power of each card, and your own skill and wisdom as a tarot reader.
In this two-hour workshop you will take a deep dive into the cards that disturb you the most. You will learn new ways to process dark images and find the healing and helpful truth within them.
You will learn some best practices for fearless and wise tarot reading, including setting your ethics and boundaries, invoking spirit and creating sacred space.
I Will Be in the Tampa Bay Area This Weekend
There are only a few openings left for house calls in the Tampa Bay area and private sessions in my Wesley Chapel AirBnB this weekend.
If you would like an in-person session with me in the Tampa Bay Area June 11 through 14, please call or text 561-655-1160 to make your appointment.
Tarot Helps Us Do the Right Thing
When we have a moral quandary and are not sure how to respond to a difficult interpersonal situation, tarot can help!
It is a good practice to ask helpful questions of the cards, and to pull a single card, or a few cards, to answer each question.
When the issue is with a person, you might ask questions about what is motivating that person, or the best way to hand that person.
You might ask questions about what the best possible outcome is, and how to achieve that outcome.
You might even as a question as general as “What is the right thing for me to do in this situation?”
If you are feeling sad, angry, or bitter, you can ask the cards for ways to process your feelings.
Join me at Masters of the Tarot at Omega Institute
I am glad to be one of the five teachers presenting the Masters of the Tarot conference at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, this summer. The conference is July 23 through 25.
Founded in the late 1970s, Omega is a unique retreat center that is known and loved by many in our community.
Mary K. Greer and Rachel Pollack have presented a tarot conference there every summer for decades. Of course, last year Omega was unable to open.
I am very excited to be a part of this iconic event as the world begins to restart. Make your plans to join us there!
The Week in Review
The June issue of “The Cartomancer” is out, and available in print and digital format. You will find a lot of great content in this magazine, including a cover story written by me, and a review of StaarCon 2021!
This past week I taught a free class on YouTube. If you missed “Minor Arcana Four, Five, Six” you can catch the replay.
I was excited to get a mention in The Tarot Lady’s monthly “Hit List”.
From Around the Web
From Thought Catalog, a wonderful article about what it means to be the bigger person.
From Odyssey, here is permission to not always be the bigger person.
From Business Insider, here are strategies for dealing with difficult people at work.
Northeastern Summer Tour
From July 26 through August 9, I will be based at True Bikram Yoga in Madison, Connecticut. I will be available for house calls and parties throughout Connecticut, and for private readings in Madison.
I will be able to travel to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York for parties and larger gatherings.
Dates are already booking quickly. Please call or text 561-655-1160 to get your party date or private appointment on the calendar.
Cards for Your Consideration
Which tarot card might ask us to be the bigger person? I think there are many! Major Arcana 8, Strength, comes to mind as a card of compassion. The Six of Pentacles might tell us to be charitable.
There are also cards which tell us to have good boundaries, such as the Seven of Wands and the Four of Pentacles.
Justice, the Ace of Swords, and the Knight of Swords tell us to do the right thing. Sometimes the right thing means standing up, sometimes it means drawing a boundary, and sometimes it means being gracious and forgiving.

Visions and Revisions
T.S. Elliot and Mercury retrograde inspire some thoughts on how we manifest our future.
This week our newsletter theme comes from one of my favorite poems, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, by T.S. Eliot.
“Prufrock”, as it is affectionately known, is a complex poem. I had to write a paper about it in high school. Maybe you did, too. One of the many themes of “Prufrock” considers the passage of time from the perspective of impending old age.
We always wonder if we will have enough time. We worry we will not have time for little things in a day or a week, and for big things, like being able to create the future we envision for ourselves.
The verse from “Prufrock” reads,
And indeed there will be time…
…Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea.
I thought of these words this week as we entered Mercury retrograde. While Mercury retrograde is something often feared, Mercury retrograde offers us a wonderful opportunity for visions and revisions.
These next few weeks are a time to review, to revisit, and to process the past. For creative people especially, Mercury retrograde lends itself to the process of editing, and re-envisioning our projects.
This week, let us take the time for visions and revisions. What is your vision for your life? How is that vision changing? How can you refine your goals and perspectives, to fit the you that you have become?
The worry that there will not be enough time is part of this process. We must make the time, and take the time, to craft our vision. Creation takes time. Manifestation takes time.
We must remember that our vision is worth revision, and worthy of the time it takes to get it right.
The StaarCorner
StaarCon 2022 will be held as an intensive three-day hybrid conference January 21 through 23, and a thirty-day “afterglow” where you can review classes and enjoy live event online.
The in-person conference will be held at the Doubletree Hotel and Executive Meeting Center in Palm Beach Gardens. The online conference and the thirty-day conference “afterglow” will be held on Accelevents.
StaarCon 2021 was held online-only on Accelevents, and it was magnificent. StaarCon 2022 will be even better. Mark your calendars now. Tickets will be available soon!

My first Northeastern Tour in more than a year was a huge success. I am grateful to everyone who welcomed me to their homes, businesses, and offices, and those who came to see me at True Bikram Yoga.
I am grateful to True Bikram Yoga for hosting me.
I will return to New England this summer, July 26 through August 9. It is now time to book your party, house call, or private reading with me. You can call or text me at 561-655-1160.
I am also excited that I will be speaking at the Omega Institute as part of the Masters of the Tarot conference July 23 through 25. You can make your reservations for Omega here.
Cards for Your Consideration
What is ‘vision’ as a concept? It is neither eyesight nor psychic vision. Rather, it is how we want something to look and be. ‘Vision’, in this context, is a way of creatively looking toward our future, and toward the future we wish to manifest.
What card might speak of this sort of vision? For me, it is the Two of Wands, in any tarot deck. The Two of Wands asks us to look at the world we want to create, and what we want to create in the world. The Two of Wands asks us to use our imagination to dream, to plot and to plan. The Two of Wands asks us to take our time to set our vision and manifest our future.

Validation
We use divination to validate our thoughts and feelings. Here are some divination methods to help us validate our interpretations of the readings we perform.
A tarot reading can be healing in many ways. One of the ways that a tarot reading heals is by providing validation to the client.
The reading may give voice and form to something the client had been feeling, yet was unable to express. The reading may validate the choices the client is making.
Relationships become abusive when partners are unable to validate the feelings of the other, telling them that they have no right or reason to feel as they do. Families can become toxic when parents incessantly question the choices of their adult kids, refusing to validate their choices, beliefs, and ideals.
The root word of ‘validation’ is ‘valid’. When we deny ourselves validation, we are literally denying ourselves the right to feel like a valid human being.
This does not mean that we are never off-base in our understanding of a situation. Sometimes our feelings are based on misunderstanding, or a faulty assessment of a situation. Sometimes we base our beliefs on something that is untrue.
We cannot validate beliefs and actions that are based on something false. Yet, we can still acknowledge the validity of the person who holds those false understandings.
Tarot can help us in this way, too. Sometimes a tarot reading can uncover a falsehood. Sometimes a reading can give us a new perspective that is based on greater truth.
We are all seeking spiritual truth, which is something that can only be validated in the heart, in faith.
We are all seeking a sense of purpose and place. Perhaps a sign of true healing is when we no longer look to others to give us a sense of validation. We need to be able to sense that we are on our path and belong where we are.
When others try to take that validation away from us, we must find ways to be strong and stand our ground.
Validation is mystical, personal, and practical. It is not something we always think about. Yet, validation is something that matters every single day.
The StaarCorner
We are excited to be in the final stages of getting our schedule and website together, so we can make tickets for StaarCon 2022 available to you! StaarCon 2022 will be held Janaury 21 through 23 at DoubleTree Hotel and Conference Center and online on Accelevents.
All ticketholders, whether online or in person, will be able to use Accelevents for added convenience during the conference, to view the recorded classes for thirty days, and to participate in lounge classes and events during the thirty-day period following StaarCon.
If you have not already, join the StaarCon Community on Facebook to take part in our polls, Study Buddy Challenges, and other community activities.

How to Use Clarifying Cards to Validate a Tarot Reading
In modern tarot, a lot of people use clarifying cards, or ‘clarifiers’ in their tarot readings. There are many methods for this. I wrote about clarifying cards on my blog, and I recently taught a class on them on YouTube.
Here is one method that works well if there is a particular card in a spread that you are unsure how to interpret. Perhaps the Ten of Swords appears, and you wonder what area of life that energy is going to be making an appearance.
Take the rest of your deck, and ask the question, “What do I need to know about this card?” or “What is this card all about?”
Pull a card and place it next to the card in question. How does this help you process and understand your reading?
If you need another card, you can add to the information by pulling a second card to clarify. After that, if you are still not sure about the original confusing card, move on with the reading. As things unfold the meaning of the card will become clear, and you will see how the clarifying cards play a role in the story.
This method will help you validate your interpretation of confusing cards in a tarot reading.

The Week in Review
I have been featured in a tarot article on the Redfin blog. You know that tarot is gaining some acceptance when a real estate blog writes about setting up sacred space for tarot reading in your home!
As of May 29, I will be back in my Palm City office, and resuming my regular schedule of live readings on my YouTube channel. Channel members can expect some special videos just for them as well!
On June 4, the Palm City office will reopen to the public, so make your appointment now!
From Around the Web
I found this article on understanding validation on Psychology Today.
Mercury retrograde begins on May 29 and lasts until June 22. Here is a Tarot Spread for Mercury Retrograde from WolfSister.
From Little Red Tarot, here is a great two-card tarot spread for clarity and validation.
Cards for Your Consideration
This week I am asking you to consider, in addition to your cards, another tool which is great for validation work. That is, to check to see if your thinking, your decision, your card reading, your intuition, is correct.
The tool I am referring to is the pendulum. Dowsing with a pendulum is an intuitive art which takes only a minute to learn. However, with study you can discover many techniques to use your pendulum for readings and for healing work.
The pendulum is a very good adjunct to a tarot reading. Check out my class on Tarot and Pendulum on YouTube.
Very often we want validation of a particular idea. A pendulum is a wonderful way to get a quick yes or no from the universe. As you study pendulum work, you will discover many ways to use your pendulum on a deeper level.

The Regrets that Come with Growth
"If only I had been able to learn this sooner", says everyone.
Personal growth is never a bad thing. I believe that growing, and the healing that comes with growth, is always our primary purpose. As we grow and heal, we gain wisdom and insight. We become able to have better relationships and happier lives.
Personal growth can come from a variety of sources. Private introspection, traditional therapy, spiritual pursuits, and study of philosophy are only a few avenues toward personal growth.
I also believe that those who refuse growth tend to become very unhappy people. If we cannot grow, we cannot heal. Without healing, we simply become a collection of our own grief and trauma.
Growth is never easy. One thing that makes it harder is the regret that naturally comes from growth. Here is what I mean by that.
When we are finally able to quit smoking, or lose weight, or heal from substance abuse, we regret that we were not able to do this sooner, or that we allowed ourselves to become mired in unhealthy behavior in the first place.
When we learn patience, we regret that we were not able to be more patient with our young children or elderly parents.
When we finally complete our education, we wish we had been able to do that sooner.
We have all experienced this sort of guilt and regret. Here is the remedy to that.
We need to look back and remember that, in every circumstance, we were doing the best we could in that moment. Our capacity has increased because we have grown. Had we been capable of that growth in the past, we would have embraced it.
We grow when we are ready and able.
We do the best we can in each moment.
The StaarCorner
Recently added to the roster of presenters for StaarCon 2022 is Fred West. I first met Fred when we were both presenting at Northwest Tarot Symposium. I was impressed with his warmth, style, humor, and skill. I am excited to have him share his wisdom at StaarCon.
Fred has 40 years of experience being a tarot reader. He loves to share the wisdom he’s gained along the way. Fred’s approach to being an Oracle is down-to-earth, fun, and action oriented.
Tickets for StaarCon will be available soon. Mark your calendar now for January 21 through 23, 2022.

On Mother’s Day I was excited to give readings at a small gathering of friends in Port Saint Lucie. It felt great to be visiting with people again, and to be working with people face to face.
I am happy to travel to your Florida location for a house party. Get your friends and family together to celebrate an occasion, or simply to have some fun and insight together.
Believe it or not, Halloween will be here before you know it. If you would like to have authentic tarot and palm readings at your Halloween party, reach out to me now!

Let Card Two show you how to accomplish that growth.
Let Card Three show you how to accept your shortcomings of the past.
I Am in Connecticut This Week
It is not too late to reach out for an in-person session with me in Connecticut. I will be in Connecticut from May 21 through May 26. Call or text 561-655-1160 to schedule your session. We can meet at True Bikram Yoga in Madison, or I can travel to your home.
While this is only a short trip, I will be back in Connecticut this summer, from July 26 to August 9, so plan your psychic house party now!
The Week in Review
This week I taught a class on YouTube on how to use tarot for healing. If you didn’t catch me live, you can watch the class now.
I do at least four regular tarot reading livestreams on YouTube each week. While I am traveling, my schedule may be a bit irregular. You can always catch me Mondays at 9:30 am for the Three-Card Weekly Reading. Since I am flying tomorrow and next Thursday, the Tarot Topics Weekly Newsletter Recap will not include live readings and will be pre-recorded and posted at noon.
I do the Friday Weekly Wrap-up at noon, and the Saturday Psychic Sampler at 12:30 pm. I will do my best to keep those broadcasts at their usual times while I am traveling.
If you don’t subscribe to my YouTube channel, you are missing a lot of great opportunities for free readings and classes. You can also join my channel to support my work there, and to receive some great members-only perks.
From Around the Web
I love this recent blogpost from Jordan Hoggard, and it feels like it fits in with our theme this week.
I stumbled on this post from Jaymi Elford, which includes a video of her fire dance from StaarCon 2021, and a short review of our online conference.
This conversation between Brene Brown and Russel Brand was life-changing for me, and speaks to our topic.
Cards for Your Consideration
There are many tarot cards that speak of healing and growth, but few that speak of regret. The Five of Pentacles is a card that often seems to speak of the regret of missed opportunities.
Sometimes those missed opportunities are financial. The Five of Pentacles might say that we regret spending money, or that we regret a job we didn’t take.
Sometimes the Five of Pentacles speaks of our sorrow regarding opportunities that were taken from us; misfortunes that seemed out of our control.
There are times, however, that the Five of Pentacles speak of the less tangible regrets that come when we look to the past and judge ourselves from the perspective of our current growth.
