Tired of being sad? Done with all the negativity in this world? Let’s work together to bring you back to the joy path. No time like the present to get started on your own joy seeker’s life. I’m ready to help. What’s holding you back?

So I’ve been going through my bookshelves to see what books can go. Here’s one that I’ll never let go of. I love this woman’s Tarot knowledge.

CARD OF THE WEEK: [inlinetweet prefix=”CARD OF THE WEEK” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]Looks like a good week to reconsider your personal rules and [/inlinetweet]boundaries. What needs to be changed? What needs to be shored up? Got any holes in your fences? Time to check the perimeter. If folks are encroaching on your space and time, it’s probably because they think they can. (HIEROPHANT CYBLE)

AQUARIUS [inlinetweet prefix=”AQUARIUS” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]Change is coming. It may be difficult to negotiate if you don’t remember to always[/inlinetweet] stay in the present moment. When you lean into the future, you may trip over the here and now. Deal with what is in front of you. Death brings inevitable rearrangements to our lives. It is the card of hard, unavoidable change. Remember that it gets better as you navigate this week. (DEATH LA SANTA MUERTE)

PISCES [inlinetweet prefix=”PISCES” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]One thing will see you through this week. You cannot falter in this area if you would[/inlinetweet] succeed. The secret word is focus. Focus on what must be done as opposed to what could be done. Begin those things that must be begun. Fate favors the prepared so make to-do lists. Mark things off. Add more things to the list. Don’t let up on your focus. (ACE OF AIR NEMESIS)

ARIES [inlinetweet prefix=”ARIES” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]Pay attention to your things. Check insurance policies. Are you fully [/inlinetweet]covered? Good week to check on that. “Protect what you possess” is the message of the week. Don’t assume someone else has taken care of it. Also? Make sure you aren’t relaxing your guard in those areas where others have taken advantage of you. Be alert please. (NINE OF FIRE CHANTICO)

TAURUS [inlinetweet prefix=”TAURUS” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]Nice week for some dream work, Bulls. Open up to the messages[/inlinetweet] that come from the other side. You may be surprised by what you learn. Indulge in the cycles as well. Where you are, where they are…these are both beautiful places. Learn from them as you teach them what you know. (MOON ARIANRHOD)

GEMINI [inlinetweet prefix=”GEMINI” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]It’s okay. You have permission from the Universe to hole up and [/inlinetweet]take care of your own interests. Good week to dive into learning about things like who you are, where you come from, where you are going. You know…the simple things in life. I recommend opening up that journal you keep saying you are going to use. (HERMIT BABA YAGA)

CANCER [inlinetweet prefix=”CANCER” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]What must be balanced? What are you struggling to rise [/inlinetweet]above? Be gentle with yourself. Acknowledging the patterns in your life can help. See where you participated in your own successes and your own tragedies is good if you want to move to your next personal best. You’ve got this, Cancer. (LIBERATION/JUDGMENT PERSEPHONE)

LEO [inlinetweet prefix=”LEO” tweeter=”@Tarotscopes” suffix=”..more #tarot”]Yes! This is your time to make everything [/inlinetweet]you want to make. Want to try out that new recipe? Make it happen. Want to start that book that’s bugging you? Do it. You have all the tools. Stop setting up roadblocks for yourself. If you can just get out of your own way, magic will happen this week. (MAGICIAN ISIS)

VIRGO [inlinetweet prefix=”VIRGO” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]Look inwards, my practical darlings. A little navel-gazing never hurt anyone. What [/inlinetweet]do you need emotionally? What will help you expand on your soul level. Go deep this week to meet your true self. Time to make a heart’s desires list. That’s way more important than a rusty old bucket list. Believe in your ability to want. (ACE OF WATER FACE OF THE DEEP)

LIBRA [inlinetweet prefix=”LIBRA” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]When troubles come, you are ready. Expect to be the warrior for [/inlinetweet]others this week. Someone may turn to you with a need that you can provide. Show them how you moved from the bad times. You don’t have to carry them. In face, you shouldn’t carry them. Just be the leader that they need. Compassion goes a long way. (SIX OF AIR SCATHACH)

SCORPIO [inlinetweet prefix=”SCORPIO” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]Whirl. Now whirl some more. Dazzle yourself with your own ability to [/inlinetweet]dance in the face of danger. Time to show off is now. You have had your head down for so long…who knows what you’ve missed. Let’s make this week about mental cleansing. Clear out your brain closet of all that clutter of “would’ve, should’ve, could’ve.” (WITCH OF AIR OYA)

SAGITTARIUS [inlinetweet prefix=”SAGITTARIUS” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]When you are at a crossroad in life, why waste time [/inlinetweet]dithering. Make a choice, Archer. Then stick to it. When you keep going back down a path you know is closed, you are just wasting your own precious life. We all have a limited time in this body, in this life. Why screw around two-stepping? New path. New forward motion. (TWO OF FIRE HEKATE)

CAPRICORN [inlinetweet prefix=”CAPRICORN” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”… more #tarot”]Spring! It’s here! New beginnings. Time to take that risk you’ve [/inlinetweet]been talking about. Time to leap off life’s cliff to see how far you can fly (or bounce). Stop letting others get in the way of your joy. Time to kick up your heels. If you can’t make them laugh, make yourself laugh. (FOOL SHEELA NA GIG)

Remember to seek joy, y’all. Pass it on! I want to hear from you if you are ready to kick the negativity habit in the tender bits. Let’s get started today to create a plan for you that takes you from feeling alone to feeling alive.

[Tweet “No shocks for me this week because I read my expanded Tarotscopes.”]

CARD OF THE WEEK: APHRODITE SIREN OF WATER [inlinetweet prefix=”CARD OF THE WEEK” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”] What would you risk for love? Would you be willing[/inlinetweet] to sacrifice your self? Please say no. But do understand that there are other risks you need to take to bring love into your life. One of those is a willingness to be honest. But that honesty must be with yourself. Until you are brutally honest with yourself, love may prove elusive. And by brutally honest, I mean learning to love yourself as you are right now in this very moment. Do not set limits on loving yourself. “I will love myself when I lose 20/40/100 pounds.” “I will love myself when my skin clears up.” “I will love myself when…” No! Love yourself as you are. Want more help? Check out this love spell.

AQUARIUS MAMI WATA THREE OF WATER [inlinetweet prefix=”AQUARIUS” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”]Oh boy! What a wonderful week you are going to have! Here we see[/inlinetweet] the Goddess Mami Wata who celebrates passion. The women dance for her to invoke her spirit. Your job, Aquarius, is to celebrate your sexuality this week. Write a poem to your vagina or penis. Paint a picture of what passion looks like for you. Turn up the tunes and shake your sexy ass. Make this week passionate and playful.

PISCES KAMUI FUCHI FOUR OF FIRE [inlinetweet prefix=”PISCES” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”] Focus on the family can have different meanings for us all. But this week[/inlinetweet] I want you to put your family first. chosen or blood family, it doesn’t matter. Both are equally important in my world. How about yours? Kamui Fuchi is an Ainu Goddess of hearth and home. Her influence is to bring us all together. Open your heart to the warmth of being with friends and family. Honor your ancestors whose work brought you into this world.

ARIES LA LLORONA FIVE OF WATER Joy is balanced by tears. Sometimes you must cleanse your soul by weeping before[/inlinetweet] you can let go of anger and pain. Review bitter words and angry encounters, Aries. Let go of the rage and fire of those moments. Weep so that you erase the pain. File the memories so you can learn from them but not burn from them. This week joy comes to you when you learn to expunge the need to retaliate. Stop feeding them with your pain.

TAURUS MAMAN BRIGITTE HAG OF FIRE[inlinetweet prefix=”TAURUS” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”] “Dance with your ancestors. Raise the dead.” This is what[/inlinetweet] the booklet for this deck advises. When I see Maman Brigitte, I am reminded that how we connect with our past influences how we walk our present. Honor the strength of those who raised you and those who raised them. Perhaps some joy comes when you reflect upon the passion of the people in your lineage. How can you walk your walk to show them what you’ve learned? Write a love letter to someone who has crossed over. Let your love soar up to them.

GEMINI SCATHACH SIX OF AIR [inlinetweet prefix=”GEMINI” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”] What is your purpose in life? Who are you called to be? Ask[/inlinetweet] yourself how you can rise up to the moment. Guidance comes to you if you ask for it. Quiet your mind. Set your goal. Be open to the messages that come from the Universe to you this week. You might try this spread to orient your life to your Life’s Purpose. I am happy to do this spread with you as well. Schedule an appointment. Whatever you choose, listen to the Universe this week.

CANCER EPONA SIX OF FIRE [inlinetweet prefix=”CANCER” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”] Good week to build on those alliances. Reach out to like minds to[/inlinetweet] create a unified front. Someone needs you as much as you need them, Cancer. Place yourself in their path if they won’t take your call. Not in a creepy, stalker way, but in a “I’m here to walk this journey with you” way. Remember that there is strength in numbers. You don’t have to walk this journey alone. Reach out this week.

LEO CYBELE HIEROPHANT [inlinetweet prefix=”LEO” tweeter=”@Tarotscopes” suffix=”..more #tarot”] Oh what a perfect card for you this week! Time to show the world[/inlinetweet] how you can build community simply on the strength of your personality. This is your time to shine, Leo. Tired of the disconnect you’ve been feeling? Ready to create opportunity that shows off your skills? Set up meetings with those you admire. Let them know that you are ready to put the focus on community. Offer to host the meeting if you must. Just make things happen this week that are about bringing others together for the greater good.

VIRGO SPIDER WOMAN STARS [inlinetweet prefix=”VIRGO” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”] What magic can you weave this week? Who will you inspire just[/inlinetweet] by being you? Remember this. You are your thoughts. You create your own reality so choose your intentions wisely. Don’t start with “I hope I make it through this week.” Instead set your goals with a positive affirmation such as “I am the one who gets things done. No list can defeat me. I am large and in charge. I conquer this week.” Lofty ideals and big gains are in the bag for you when you set your week up with the right start.

LIBRA PELE AMAZON OF FIRE[inlinetweet prefix=”Libra” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”] Careful you don’t overwhelm everyone with your enthusiasm. Don’t rein it in, just[/inlinetweet] understand that others may have to simply move out of your way. You are an inexorable force this week. To-do lists fall before you as you burn your way through the week. And understand this. That like Pele, you are aware of what is yours and you may not be in a sharing mood. That’s okay. Just ask yourself to be a bit kinder than the Lady Pele is if someone crosses your boundaries.

SCORPIO GAIA ACE OF EARTH [inlinetweet prefix=”SCORPIO” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”] What will you give birth to this week? What creative project is ready to [/inlinetweet] burst forth? Don’t hold back. Let your soul be fed by creativity. If you are a writer, you might enjoy . Like to draw? Check out my love for this art style. But this week is about you letting your personal seeds grow. About blossoming into the person you know yourself to be. Open up to your imagination and desire. Bloom, Scorpio. Bloom.

SAGITTARIUS KALI DESTRUCTION [inlinetweet prefix=”Sagittarius” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”…more #tarot”] Whoa, whoa, whoa! Time to tear down old attitudes. Break through[/inlinetweet] those walls you’ve built around yourself. Kali is not a Goddess to be mucked about with so pay attention, please. Your sacred task this week is to break past the lies you’ve been telling yourself. Have you been holding on to something that is never coming back? Dreaming that your life doesn’t need any thing? Time to remodel, baby. Rip out the counters. Put up new paint. Search through your personal corners to get rid of negative thought patterns. Time to destroy your own unhappiness so joy can fill you back up.

CAPRICORN BAUBO SIREN OF EARTH [inlinetweet prefix=”Capricorn ” tweeter=”@tarotscopes” suffix=”… more #tarot”] Can you commit to being raw? Ridiculous? Can you overrule your own need[/inlinetweet] to follow the rules this week? This is a call to be authentic. Authenticity heals. What does that mean to you? Examine your life to see where you are not being your own raw, beautifully flawed self. Let go of the need for perfection. This is about throwing clay on a wheel to make a lopsided pot that you call beautiful. That’s you. You are the clay. Spin yourself into something real and raw this week. Make them sit up take notice any way you can. Baubo did. She showed them her “secret parts” to make them laugh. You don’t have to go that far, but laughing at yourself is healing.

CARD OF THE WEEK: HAG OF AIR Set your thoughts for what you want NOW. Intention is everything so make sure you write it, say it, do it.

AQUARIUS SIREN OF AIR Messages need to be dealt with. Stop ignoring what is being repeated. True wisdom comes from doing it the first time.

Today’s deck? Evocative and gorgeous, it’s the Dark Goddess Tarot by Ellen Lorenzi-Price.

Of Synchronicity, Dandelions + Goddesses

Yep, a bright piece of sunshine in his hand to remind me of my own affirmation from yesterday.

[Tweet “Yep, a bright piece of sunshine in his hand to remind me of my own affirmation from yesterday.”]

Today I wanted to talk about a few things. One is synchronicity. Yesterday’s dandelion post manifested on today’s dog walk. Manifested as a young man with a sweet smile who recognized my dog as a Basenji. After he loved on them a bit, he walked on. It was then that I realized he was carrying a dandelion flower. Yep, a bright piece of sunshine in his hand to remind me of my own affirmation from yesterday. Thanks, Universe.

I redid my white board today. In another “that’s weird” moment in my life, a pile of papers fell off my dresser. Now it is not weird for me to have a pile of papers (lol). What was different was that in that pile were some of the postcards I got when I ordered The Dark Goddess Tarot. Maman Brigitte, Hag of Fire, spoke to me so I used her for my Tarot Attraction spell. I’m using Fool Tarot magnets from U.S. Games to support her and my wish.

Maman Brigitte, light up my world with the fires of creativity. Bring passion to my projects. Bring joy to my work. Fires of creativity, I invoke thee. So mote it be.

Today I am creative. I see new ways. I find new threads to weave. I place myself in the Universe to receive that sacred blessing of creative fire. Loved and loving, I love each of you.

Seek joy, y’all. Pass it on.

Today’s deck is the Dark Goddess Tarot by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince

Tarotscopes for 2/2-2/8/2014

This week’s Tarotscopes are done with Ellen Lorenzi-Prince’s Dark Goddess Tarot. It’s a new favorite of mine that focuses on those Goddesses who don’t always have the best billing.

My goals this week are to do play around with some of the new patterns that I’ve been seeing. I am going to carve out time for my own creative self.

Cai and I have been writing. We are making headway on book five in our shifter series. Book four is in the first rounds of edits already. Book two of the Demonae series is also going to be beginning edits soon while book three is in the rough draft stage.

What are you goals this week? What is keeping you busy?

Oh! I just tried a new-to-me tea. This stuff is da bomb, y’all. MMMM! I had it with my breakfast this morning. It’s very flavorful. It’s got this crazy sassy spicy taste that really works for me!

Are you a coffee drinker? Tea drinker? Leave me a comment with a brand or flavor you think I should try.

Tarotscopes for 2/2-2/8/2014

AQUARIUS NINE OF EARTH Bloom where you are planted, love. Look at where you are. Compare that to where you were. Celebrate the amazing growth!
PISCES EIGHT OF AIR Watch quietly. Learn from these demonstrations. Need to stay mentally alert to make the most of this week. Naps recharge.
ARIES CORRUPTION (TOWER) Watch your health this week. Unexpected bumps may bring you down. Take the necessary time to heal. Don’t overtax your body.
TAURUS TWO OF WATER Time to love. Time to feel. Look to the future rather than the past. Repeating mistakes is silly given all the new choices.
GEMINI SEVEN OF EARTH Strip away what you don’t need. Going deep into your own growth cycles is best. Focus on what’s in your garden not theirs.
CANCER SIREN OF AIR Sharp mind leads to a sharp tongue. That may be what’s needed when compassion doesn’t show the way. Time to fly.
LEO FIVE OF WATER Your sorrows won’t leave until you let them go. Holding on to pain weighs you down. Festering grief must be released. Please.
VIRGO THREE OF WATER Pay attention to others. Isolation won’t bring you joy. Friends will. Reach out to connect with those you love. Open up.
LIBRA SUN Good things coming your way. Others notice your hard work. Spotlight time! Expect to explore higher levels of self. You are a star.
SCORPIO FOUR OF WATER Time for a lay down, sweetheart. No harm in an extra hour of me-time here and there. Spoil your inner child this week.
SAGITTARIUS WITCH OF WATER All emotions lead from you and to you. Your mindset creates your reality. Make sure you are focused on what you want.
CAPRICORN FIVE OF EARTH Focus on what you can heal. Release stress by letting go of what’s not yours to fix. Money may be tight. Love anyway.

SPREAD: Sun, Holly + Oak

Saturday I shared a spread as part of the 2013 Yule Tarot Blog Hop. I promised to share my reading using that spread so you might see how it can work. I used the Dark Goddess Tarot which I am completely enamored of these days. It’s one of those “wow I didn’t expect that” connections that happen.

See the spread for the meanings of each position here.

Oak And Holly Spread

1. SUN: The Blue Dakini dances her way in. She represents the Three of Air. “If it is not real and true, sever the ties” is her message. Interestingly enough, this showed up for me in an online full moon circle that I did this past week with Ellen Lorenzi-Price (the creatrix of this amazing deck) and Nancy Antenucci. So my work with letting go of that which does not serve is going to grow exponentially. It’s in the Sun spot so there is already growth happening here…already in motion. I just need to keep this going.

2. HOLLY: The Four of Air follows (and yes, I shuffled the deck, sillies. 😀 ) Nut is this card’s Goddess. Nut will always make me think of my friend Ellen Reed. She passed some years back but Nut was a Goddess she loved. “Until dawn, rest as a star in my body” is her message. What a lovely one that is. I think this is saying that my health and healing are doing well and I can take comfort in that. Last year I worked hella hard on the diabetes thing. I will continue to work on it but perhaps it won’t be the all-consuming area it has been.

3. OAK: What area needs to be nurtured and pulled into the light to grow? Here is where you need to get busy. This area could use some elbow grease and a good helping of plant food to grow. Let this carry you into the next few months. So here is Baubo, the Siren of Earth. Baubo is a very earthy Lady. Read Her tale if you don’t know it. Her message is “this is life in the body: raw, ridiculous, sublime”. Taken into context with the positional meaning of the Holly card, I see that I need to get more into my body work. I need to be less mental (Four of Air) and more physical (Queen of Earth). So while my mental focus was good, I can step up the physical part.

I’d love to hear from you if you do this reading. Or if you do any of the readings in the Yule blog hop–there are some amazing choices this time around. I always get some great new spreads.

Dark Goddess Tarot, Ellen Lorenzi-Price, 2013,

Seek joy, y’all. Pass it on!

Tarotscopes for 12/21-28/2013

Happy holidays from me to you, y’all. This can be a happy as well as stressful time so be gentle with yourself and others. Remember that we sometimes lash out because we hurt. Love yourself enough. Self-care is always important but even more so now.

Need a last minute gift for a writer? They will enjoy my . Your thoughtfulness will arrive in their email every day for thirty three days!

Or you could gift the heartrepeneur you know with this .

Tarotscopes for 12/21-28/2013

AQUARIUS ACE OF AIR Slice through the BS (yours and theirs). Judge? Sure but make sure you peel away all your filters first. Discernment is key.
