Boundaries and Boundless

This edition of Tarot Topics features a full list of October events!

lead-hd.jpg

The poet Robert Frost said it best when he said, "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors". We all need to have good boundaries with the people around us; our friends, our families, our co-workers and our most intimate partners.

We also need to have boundaries with ourselves. My daughter calls this "making good life choices". It's when we choose the fruit over the cake, or the early worknight bedtime over the nightclub.

Sometimes, though, we create unnecessary boundaries that become self-imposed limitations. We chose to stay in our comfortable routine rather than pushing ourselves to something new, exciting and expansive.

Knowing what should be a boundary and what should be boundless is not always an easy trick. We need to be able to see the difference between damaging limits set by societal norms, low-self-esteem and fear, and healthy limits that protect us.

One way to do this is with tarot. There are tarot cards that can easily speak of boundaries, such as the Four of Pentacles, the Seven of Wands and the Nine of Wands. While "boundaries" is not a typical keyword for any of these three cards, each can clearly speak of the need for self-protection and establishing good boundaries.

On the other hand, there are many tarot cards that can speak of limitless possibilities, including the Star, the Sun, the Wheel of Fortune and the Seven of Cups. It's interesting to note that many of those cards of expansive thinking belong to the Major Arcana, the Greater Secrets of the tarot deck

When we learn to protect ourselves and still push past our limits in healthy ways, we open up the path to our greatest potential for success.

Here's a simple, profound one-card tarot exercise for you to try, new on my Community Tarot Blog.

From 2013, here is a post about proper boundaries in spiritual communities called "Leadership, Service and Ego".

From 2012, here is a post that discusses how the Minor Arcana invites us to push out of the boundaries of our comfort zone on our way to success.

A Divine Mirror

This week's Tarot Topics offers a tarot exercise to help you see and know yourself, a great collection of offerings for the beginning of Autumn and some exciting new classes.

cover-sq.jpg

When you look at yourself, what do you see? Do you see yourself through the eyes of those who couldn’t see your beauty, or didn’t appreciate your strength?

Do you see the stories others have told about you, rather than your own experiences?

Self-awareness can be difficult. We are all have blind spots where we can’t see some of our shortcomings. We also have blind spots that keep us from seeing our strengths and our unique gifts.

If we try to see ourselves only through the eyes of others, our self-perception will be limited to other people’s experiences, rather than our own.

If we try to see ourselves based on what we do, rather than who we are, we may see our abilities but miss understanding our core self.

One of the things I love most about tarot is that divination offers us a true mirror. That mirror allows us to see ourselves, without judgment, as we really are. That mirror helps us set goals to become who we want to be and do what we want to do.

Whether you read tarot for yourself, visit with a trusted reader, or both, checking in with that divine mirror can help you love yourself, appreciate your life, and set your goals and strive to meet them!

Bring your tarot cards, oracle cards, pendulums, Reiki energy, etc., and get ready to give and receive short sessions.

This event is free to attend, bring a snack and/or beverage to share if you can! RSVP on the meetup site.

Tarot Key Words and Interpretations
Dream Angels

If a tarot card can mean many different things, how do we know how to interpret the cards in a specific reading? Do we have to memorize card meanings? What if the classic card meaning doesn't fit in the context of the question?

Whether you are a beginner or advanced tarot reader, chances are you've struggled with these questions, and others, as you strive to makes sense of, and find wisdom in, your tarot cards.In this exciting workshop, Christiana Gaudet will teach you some easy-yet-insightful systems for interpreting any combination of cards in any situation. More importantly, she'll help you learn to find the way your own intuition and spiritual guidance can lead you to find truth in every tarot reading. Class cost is $25 at the door or $20 in advance.

Pre-register on the Dream Angels website.

In this class you will learn the spiritual lessons and interpretations for the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana. These cards are considered the "greater secrets" of the tarot.

By the end of the class you will be able to do insightful Major Arcana readings, and will have a much greater understanding of tarot in general.

Crystal Power for Tarot with Mary Ellen Collins
Christianas Conference Room
1025 SW Martin Downs Blvd #203
Palm City, FL 34990

Join Mary Ellen Collins for a special evening of divination combining tarot cards with a crystal oracle.  Reading crystals is a unique way to work with the energy of divination.  In this workshop you will learn how to create your own oracle with a collection of tumbled crystals that are cast like runes.  Then we will combine the crystal-casting process with a tarot reading to give it depth and nuance.

Every class presented by Mary Ellen features lots of hands-on practice exercise so that everyone gets a chance to read.  (One bonus of the class is that because of the practice exercise, participants receive a free mini-reading from one another so be sure to come to class with questions!)  We will be using a set of sample crystals so there is no need to bring crystals.  Likewise, if you dont have a tarot deck we also have plenty of decks that you can borrow.

This class is free of charge; a gift to the tarot community. Seating is limited. Call or text Christiana to RSVP at 561-655-1160.

Halfway There! Tarot Tour September 2018

Tarot Tour will continue for another week. Check out these great upcoming events!

AdobeStock_87779000.jpeg

My last Tarot Tour of 2018 is halfway finished. I am so grateful to everyone who has had readings and parties, and who attended my class Sunday evening. Don’t forget this Sunday’s class in Madison!

I still have some openings for readings at True Bikram Yoga in Madison while I am here, call or text 561 655-1160.

Connecticut is home to a lot of great metaphysical history, information and opportunities. Did you know, for instance, that paintings by Pamela Colman Smith, the artist of the world’s most popular tarot, are on display at Gillette Castle?

Of course, US Games Systems, Inc., publisher of many of the world’s most loved tarot decks, is in Stamford, CT.

Ed and Sonja Mondazzi, of DiscountNewAgeBooks.com have a brick and mortar in Connecticut. Back in the day, they were vendors at Christiana’s Psychic and New Age Fair!

I’m so grateful to the energy of New England that nurtured my career and continues to do so!

To my friends around the world, remember that I remain available for distance readings while I am traveling. I’ll be back in my Palm City office taking appointments September 21.
