New Moon

Two of Swords, Seven of Cups - Joie De Vivre Tarot

These cards together seem to be telling me it's time to make some choices.  Release indecision or the avoidance of deciding and embrace making a choice.   Settle on something and focus there.  The problem is I have no idea what choices I should be making or to which areas of my life these cards might be referring.  Perhaps things will seem clearer in the coming days.  In any case, I'm tired and have a headache, so I'll think more about it tomorrow.

You Are Worthy

Eight of Wands, Nine of Swords, Nine of Cups reversed - Revelations Tarot

Worrying about what others are thinking of you will only impede your progress.  Your self-worth is determined by you, not by the thoughts of others.

"Self worth comes from one thing -- thinking that you are worthy."
~Wayne Dyer

Ready, Set, Action!

Justice, Five of Pentacles reversed, Ace of Swords reversed - Revelations Tarot

Enough thinking about how to get out of that rut.  Act now, and you will be rewarded for your efforts.

"Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all."
~Norman Vincent Peale

The Battle

Page of Pentacles, The Devil, Seven of Wands

The biggest battle you will face in making your dreams come true is escaping the prison of your own negative thinking.

"Do not allow negative thoughts to enter your mind for they are the weeds that strangle confidence."
~Bruce Lee

Baffled

For the last few days I've been pulling three cards and trying to interpret them with a one or two sentence message.  It's not as easy to do as I thought it would be. I've liked the reads I've come up with so far, but I have to say, the cards I pulled today have me rather stumped.   I'll share two interpretations that I came up with, but I'm not at all satisfied with either.  Please share what you see!

Six of Swords, Four of Pentacles, The Hermit - The Gilded Tarot

You won't find the peace you are looking for by running from your problems or hoarding your resources.  Look inside.  You had the answer all along.

Or

Start saving your pennies for that trip you've been dreaming of and longing to take.

What do you think?

Thoughts Matter

Five of Pentacles, Knight of Wands, Nine of Pentacles - The Gilded Tarot

 Be the hero of your story.  Start by choosing the right thoughts.

“Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi 

 

Abundance

Nine of Swords, Ten of Pentacles, Ace of Pentacles - The Gilded Tarot

Don't let fear block the gifts the Universe is giving you.  Accept those gifts with gratitude, share them with others and watch a river of abundance flow from you to others and back to you again.

"Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart."   Sarah Ban Breathnach
