#TNDailyDrawChallenge August Daily Draw Challenge: Day One through Five. Deck: Running Press Tarot Day One: A theme for August (Major Arcana). The Hermit Reversed. Recognize the need to act with greater maturity, self-discipline, and spiritual awareness seeing as I have difficulty staying mindful and building better habits. I still feel a sense of isolation from society. However, I must be wary about following the advice that does not take me toward my unique goals. Use my life experience to scrutinize what others tell me or try to influence me into doing. Day Two: Advice for August (Minors 2-10). Eight of Swords. Focus my thoughts and energies on doing good quality work. Work smarter, not harder. But, accept the circumstances which I cannot change. Refuse oppression. Day Three: Energy to focus on (Aces). Ace of Cups. Beginning of all good things: love, joy, health. Attend to the small details of new work projects-- that will bring about good feelings. And, be rea...

#TLOSAUG2017 by @theladyofserpents Day One through Day Five. Deck used: The Oracle of E by Pam Grout & Colette Baron-Reid. Day One: What is the theme for this month? 8 All In. All systems are go. Whatever you do right now, do not hold back. This is the perfect time to give it everything you've got. For every inch you move toward your dream, the Universe will move it ten miles closer. It's time to raise the stakes and play your hand. I'd jump on in if I were you. Day Two: How do I show my loved ones that I care about them? 21 Abracadabra. Aladdin's not the only one with three wishes. You, too, have the magical lamp that can summon all you desire to your doorstep. It's a simple matter of making a clear intention and letting go to any fool notion that you have to wait for the genie. You are the magic. Day Three: How can I best ground myself today? 16 Psst! Ahem! Hey, You! We'd like to interrupt this oracle deck with a very important...

From the creator, Instagram user @tarotesque, " August is a big month. There are two eclipses and Mercury will turn retrograde. Anxiety and insecurity are normal experiences during these times, so this challenge has been created connecting with an astrological component relating to the lunar energy for each day, matched with certain associations with each Goddess, to help you find clarity and balance. Goddess Diana is strength, fertility, growth and change. She will help you to connect with your intuition and guide you in the best ways to achieve your goals. Diana will help you in protective ways, and help you to deepen your connection with the natural world and the fae, if you so choose to work with this Spirit energy. Goddess Hecate as shadow queen, will help you to set yourself free from the situations or thought processes that are holding you in a state of uncertainty. Hecate will help you to get to the heart of difficult matters, and will help you to achieve personal tru...

Deck used: Energy Oracle Cards. Day One: What am I confident about in myself? 50 Angel of Strength. Deep within me is an abiding strength that knows no bounds.

Magic happens when I live in consciousness and my eternal truth. Day Three: What is my gift in communication? 42 Woman holding a coin. The world supports me in my financial goals. I am making synchronistic connections that serve and honor me. Day Four: How do I access my lineage & roots? 36 Second Chakra, Archangel Ariel, Reversed. My second chakra is open to its perfect, healthy state. I am creative and self-nurturing, more and more comfortable with the gentle waves of intimacy coming my way. Day Five: Where is my joy expressed? 8 Indecision. I release fear and move forward with courage and trust. I have thee pow...

What does Ella need to know at this exact moment about her path in general and her path to having more children? Deck(s) used: (A.) Osho Zen Tarot, (B.) Archetype Cards, (C.) Archangel Michael Oracle Cards.   Card One: What Ella needs to know about her general path in life right now. (A.) XX. Beyond Illusion. From the text: The butterfly in this card represents the outer, that which is constantly moving and that which is not real but an illusion. Behind the butterfly is the face of consciousness, looking inward to that which is eternal. The space between the two eyes has opened, revealing the lotus of spiritual unfoldment and the rising sun of awareness. Through the rising of the inner sun, meditation is born.   The card reminds us not to look outside for what is real, but to look within. When we focus on externals, we too often get caught up in judgments--this is good, this is bad, I want this, I don't want that. These judgments keep us trapp...

Long story, short: I'm taking Benebell Wen's class on shadow work at Ethony's tarot academy. On page 236, there are very pointed, vulnerability-exposing questions I decided to answer using tarot. Answering these questions is to acknowledge the shadow shelf. Deck used: Osho Zen Tarot. Question One: What heightened awareness of your own socioeconomic status during your early childhood or even in a past life incarnation affect your relationship with material and social capital today? 2 of Clouds Schizophrenia Reversed. According to past life information in my natal chart, I have retained the aristocratic expectations and personal cultural attributes despite being born into a middle class military family in this lifetime. During my early upbringing in this life, I had so many advantages, privileges, amazing experiences that I only knew later in life were very extraordinary. My parents had the stately bearings of a king and queen, yet they both came from poor fami...

#Madamegtarotchallenge Days Three through Six. ( See my Instagram for the pictures ). Deck(s) used: (A.) Rumi Oracle, (B.) Archangel Raphael Healing Oracle Cards, (C.) Life Purpose Oracle Cards. Day Three: Where am I spiritually? (A.) 6 One. I have abolished duality from myself, I have seen the two worlds as One! One I seek, One I know, One I see, and One I call. -RUMI Day Four: Where am I physically? (B.) Caffeine Free Reversed. Ha. I've fallen off the clean-living wagon. Sure, I'm still plant-based diet and all that, but I've given in to eating a too much processed food (and addictives such as caffeine and sugar). It's a good thing I have a great life partner who has been helping me get back on the wagon. Day Five: What am I ready to manifest? (C.) Teaching Reversed. The creative ventures I'm doing right now have an element of teaching metaphysical and spiritual concepts-- but not in a traditional pedagogical understanding. The teaching I...

Rejection is Spirit’s protection. It’s in my best interest to let go and allow for something better to take its place. It is my highest good to see the truth regardless of my temporary discomfort. This too shall pass.” Day Seventeen: How can I show up as a more present ally to my fellow human beings? (C.) 3 Take The Lead. Take the initiative. Be bold. Now is ...

Here are the spreads I did for Tarot Challenges during July 16, 2017 through July 22, 2017: July 16, 2017 , July 17, 2017 , July 18, 2017 , July 19, 2017 , July 20, 2017 , July 21, 2017 , and July 22, 2017 .

SL needed to know about some personality aspects. Note: I'm aware that I flip back-and-forth between third-person and second-person perspective. And, I am aware that there may be grammatical and/or spelling errors. I do the best I can. I promise.

I intended to use only one card, but I realized I needed to go to a second card. Note: I'm aware that I flip back-and-forth between third-person and second-person perspective. And, I am aware that there may be grammatical and/or spelling errors. I do the best I can. I promise.

HDA wanted to know about their career (they've got a new project coming up, too) and money prospects. So, I used the "Success Spread" by Tarot Reading Psychic. Note: I'm aware that I flip back-and-forth between third-person and second-person perspective. And, I am aware that there may be grammatical and/or spelling errors. I do the best I can. I promise.

Question: BBDB wants to know about their future with their partner. I wanted to use only one card, but I couldn't get a clear reading on this matter using the Angel Answers Oracle Cards. I initially asked the 'yes' or 'no' question that BBDB wanted but the answer was clouded. I took that to mean that the future isn't written in stone for this couple yet. So, I used the trusty Psychic Tarot for the Heart to figure out their current future, advice, and new future if they take the advice. Note: I'm aware that I flip back-and-forth between third-person and second-person perspective. And, I am aware that there may be grammatical and/or spelling errors. I do the best I can. I promise.

KE had a question regarding their spouse.

I had intended on only using one card for this question. Simple enough, right? HL asked me will they and an old flame reconnect. Well, what happens with my trusty oracle deck for "yes" or "no" questions-- the answer made me go to two other decks. Whew. I'm exhausted. Digging deep is hard for me seeing as I'm a 28 degree Gemini Sun. Note: I'm very much aware that I move back and forth between third-person and second-person writing. And, there may be grammatical and spelling errors. I have accepted all of this.

I used the True Love Spread by Clair Psychic to help bring clarity to LLS's situation with their partner HSA. May the Divine make me a worthy vessel to carry Their message. Note: I'm aware that I flip back-and-forth between third-person and second-person perspective. And, I am aware that there may be grammatical and/or spelling errors. I do the best I can. I promise.

I used Arcanemysteries.com's Bitch Go Away spread to help LB gain clarity on their contentious relationship with PERSON X. May the Divine grant me the wisdom to know Their message and apply the correct advice. Note: I'm very much aware that I move back and forth between third-person and second-person writing. And, there may be grammatical and spelling errors. I have accepted all of this. Decks used: (A.) Archetype Cards by Caroline Myss, (B.) Energy Oracle Cards, (C.) Psychic Tarot for the Heart Oracle Deck, (D.) Archangel Michael Oracle Cards, (E.) Chakra Wisdom Oracle Cards

This reading is a surprise  Solar Return (birthday) present for my sweet friend, Scarlett Baroness . She does many things, but she's mostly known for her amazing cosplay . Be sure to visit her Facebook and Instagram profiles. Spread: Goddess Wisdom by HolyOmTarot Decks used: (A.) Rumi Oracle by Alana Fairchild, (B.) Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue, (C.) Energy Oracle Cards by Sandra Anne Taylor, (D.) Sacred Rebels Oracle by Alana Fairchild, (E.) Life Purpose Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue, and (F) Archangel Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue. Position One: How can Scarlet Baroness connect with her inner goddess? (A.) 44 Merciful Mother Jamal. This oracle brings you the message that the great power of compassion is reaching for you, that it wants you to help you but is waiting for you to ask. So ask, then you shall receive. Your prayers/intentions/affirmations are powerful. So pray thoughtfully. There is a shift taking place now in a matter ...

Well, somebody in my building is feeling kinda down and moody. What’s worse, is that they don’t really know what’s making them feel down.

Make sure to check out Ethony’s blog entry about the New Moon in Leo Tarot Spread:  it’s the first of the TWO New Moon in Leos . How neat?! Deck used: The Original Rider Waite Tarot Pack, A.E. Waite, 1993 Revised Edition. Card One: Playful lioness—Where/how can I be more playful in my life? The Empress Reversed. Card Two: Rocky babe—Where should I use all that warrior energy? The World Reversed. Card Three: Action star—Where do I need to take action? Nine of Cups. Card Four: Open heart—Where am I being asked to be more open? King of Wands Reversed. Very interesting. This reading matches up with the review opportunities that come along with the upcoming astrological phenomena (lunar and solar eclipses). I get to review the issues of my Aquarius First House (in my natal chart) and Leo Seventh House which showed up in 1998/1999. Basically, I have the opportunity to end a cycle (on a good note) and step into success (as I define it not as others define it). ...

Here are my answers for days ten through fifteen of the Instagram tarot challenge , “Tarot for the Wild Soul” by @wildsoulhealing and @tarotforthewildsoul.

Here are the links to the July 2017 tarot challenges I'm participating in for the week of July 9, 2017 through July 15, 2017:

So, I didn’t know about the #tarotforthewildsoul by @wildsoulhealing and @tarotforthewildsoul until yesterday. Obviously, I had some catching up to do. With the Tyldwick Tarot Deck, I answered the first nine days’ questions.

Tarot Spread: The subject of this reading is to investigate the difficult relationship with a person, "Malachi." Card decks used: (1.) Tarot Illuminati, (2.) Archetype Cards, (3.) Archangel Oracle Cards, and (4.) Archangel Raphael Healing Oracle Cards. I posted the picture of the spread on my Instagram account. Cards/Messages: (1.) Alchemist, (2.) The Devil, (3.) Ace of Pentacles, (4.) Hanged Man Reversed, (5.) Easy Does It, (6.) Four of Cups, (7.) Samaritan, (8.) Six of Wands, (9.) Prioritize, (10.) The Lovers, (11.) The Chariot. Malachi and I have a difficult relationship. In fact, Malachi has difficult relationships with many of our mutual acquaintance group (I hesitate to use the word "friend group"). The "old me" would investigate ways to seek vengeance against the slights & attacks from my adversaries. The "current me" just wants harmony, peace, and efficiency in daily life. Of course, I'm not perfect. I naturally have war...
