Welcome to my blog!
I don't know how your phones and devices work, but the videos and the links work better when I scroll to the bottom of this page and click on View Web Version. If you don't, you're going to miss out on all sorts of cool stuff that is included in the right sidebar... and it's prettier.
4/swords (R) ~ Some of us need to try harder. It’s so easy to become complacent when we’ve either tried and failed too often, or been brain-washed to believe that we can’t succeed in the first place.
I'm not feeling the sense of "burdens" that this card is usually connected with. There's more of a feeling about everyone being on the same page for some major transition, project, or job. It's going to be important for some of you to have co-workers, a spouse, friends, or family all looking in the same direction, all working towards the same goal. You will at least need their support and positive energy, as negativity or a lack of support will only make your task more difficult.
For those of you who find yourself at the threshold of something new, a decision to make, or a new transition coming up, make sure that you have your ducks in a row, that you have the necessary information you need to accomplish what you're setting out to do. Some of you may also want to look around and see where the stumbling blocks lay and get rid of them; whether they are individuals, or circumstances, or personal weakness.
Six/wands (reversed)
There's a feeling like you're just not quite there... almost successful, almost reaching out and being able to touch a goal; but your success (or your idea of success) doesn't quite match up to your reality, or your expectations. Some of you are being particularly hard on yourself, placing the bar too high, unrealistically high. Some of you are actually quite successful, but you're being fed negativity by those around you who may be jealous, spiteful, or just cruel and critical. Eliminate these people from your life, and if that's not possible, then minimize the contact you have with them.
King/pentacles (reversed)
Some of you have lost control of your own life, control of yourself, control of the decisions that you're making. Some of you may feel that you're racing through life without a game plan. Some of you may feel uprooted, or suspended and stagnant, or vulnerable. There's the idea that a few of you may not be looking in the right direction for exactly what it is that will satisfy your needs. Which way do you have to go to honor your inner voice? What choices do you need to make to gain control of your life? (Some of these choices may be difficult, even painful, but the end result will be worth the effort.)
Four/wands (reversed)
Your foundation is not solid. Find the weak spots, rebuild from the ground up, start over, start again, re-do, repeat; and keep this up until you feel that your life is on firm footing and anything you build, plan, or start from this point will be sturdy, strong, durable, long lasting... and successful.
Some of you may have noticed that this spring, and this year in fact, has seen me very quiet on my websites and blog. I even temporarily took down services and merchandise during this time at The Witch's Corner and The Tarot Parlour with very good reason. My beloved life partner Bob and I sold our houses in Nebraska and moved to Arizona. This undertaking involved weeks of working with realtors; cleaning out two houses of belongings; finding resolutions to an issue standing in the way; coordinating the sale and closing dates for two houses in two different cities/counties, as well as the purchase of a new house at the other end of the country; and dealing with all of life's normal daily activities and issues along the way.
This was the biggest most exciting adventure of my life. It was physically and emotionally exhausting, sometimes frustrating, often scary and overwhelming. It involved two flights to Arizona, house hunting, and decisions that had to be made quickly and logically for everything to fall into place and magickal timing to manifest realities.
It worked.
In the end we had three houses in three different cities and two states that wound up with the closing dates for all three On The Same Day. We literally packed a U-Haul, left Nebraska, and drove directly to our new house! It was incredible, and the coincidence (or synchronicity) was not lost on the realtors involved (fantastic ladies!)
