Tarot Card of the Week: Special Halloween Edition

Judgment

Tarot Card of the Week: Oct 31 – Nov 6, 2016

Judgment

The celebration we think of today as Halloween, All Souls Day, All Saints Day and Day of the Dead have roots in an ancient celebration that began around the 5th century BC in what is now Ireland.

Ancient Celts celebrated a festival called Samhain (pronounced Sow-en) which means “summers end” – it marked the beginning of winter and the start of The Celtic New Year between the nights of October 31st and November 1st.

This holiday was seen as a time when the veil between the spirit world and our own was the thinnest and spirits were said to be able to visit the realm of the living during this time.

Costumes, feasts, divination games, and bonfires marked a time of the year when the abundance of summer gave way to the darkness of winter, when a ripe new year was beginning, and a renewal of spiritual interconnectedness took place within families. It was the perfect time to do divination and take a look at the year ahead

So this week, our card (from the wonderful Halloween Tarot) is not only about this weeks energy but it also gives us clues to the themes we can expect to keep growing and expanding over the next year as well.

Tarot Card of the Week: Six of Pentacles

sixpentacles

Tarot Card of the Week: Oct 24 – Oct 30, 2016

Six of Pentacles

Trick or Treat! This week’s card — the Six of Pentacles from the whimsical Housewives Tarot — is all about getting in the spirit of giving, and what better way to do that than to hand out candy to the hoards of costumed characters who show up at your door?

This card is all about the exchange of energy — which often comes in the form of gifts or tangible goods. But whether it refers to giving or receiving is a matter of perspective.

Look at the little devil in this card. Is he handing out cookies and candy to the little tricksters who show up at his door? Or is he standing outside and reaching into someone else’s house for goodies of his own?

And think about the whole concept of Trick-or-Treating, and how it’s just as much fun to answer your door with a big bowl of candy as it is to be standing out there on the stoop with your flashlight and pillowcase.

This is attitude you want to hold onto this week: that there is always enough for everyone and that prosperity and abundance can be continuously replenished.

We start the week on Sunday with Jupiter and Neptune involved in a quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect. Jupiter and Neptune are co-rulers of both Sagittarius and Pisces, which means they share a special affinity. But what happens when they’re involved in an aspect that’s characterized by tension and frustration?

for Oct 22nd to Oct 28th , 2016

Number 4 ~ Perseverance.  This card indicates a time to keep moving forward as you strive to achieve your hopes and dreams because despite your current challenges, success is well within your reach.

You are never given more than you can handle, and you have the strength and ability to make it through.  So face your challenges head on with determination, courage, and faith.

Make yourself aware of the negative thoughts and beliefs that are currently influencing you, and muster up the strength to develop a positive state of mind.

The Paranormal or Scientific Phenomenon of Shadow People

shadowpeople2You may be sitting in front of the television set, or curled up reading a good book, when all of a sudden out of the corner of your eye you see some movement a shadow, fleeting by. You shake your head, sure that you are imagining things and go back to your book or program.  Suddenly, there it is again, that shadow figure.

Shadow people are becoming a frequent phenomenon witnessed by believers and skeptics of the paranormal.  The mysterious sightings have been hot topics of conversation in paranormal chat rooms and on the popular radio show “Coast to Coast with Art Bell.”

The Wikipedia claims Shadow people “are supernatural shadow-like creatures of both modern folklore and traditional native American beliefs.    According to folklore, they appear as dark forms in the peripheries of people’s vision and disintegrate, or move between walls, when noticed.”

Many folks erroneously believe a shadow that just went through a wall is a ghost. But those who have been in contact with ghosts or spirits and shadow people can tell the difference.

Tarot Card of the Week: Eight of Swords

Eight of Swords

Tarot Card of the Week: Oct 17-Oct 23, 2016

Eight of Swords

This week you may need to think about your own limitations, and how you’ve contributed to the obstacles that stand between you and your goals.

The Eight of Swords — this version from the World Spirit Tarot — speaks of self-imposed obstacles and restrictions. You may feel powerless in your current circumstances and may be so caught up in blaming the people or events that have brought you to this that you’re unable to see a way out.

You may feel like you’re beating your head against a wall or like all of your efforts are being met with resistance. You may question whether the Universe is telling you to fight or to accept defeat — although neither of these is going to be the right course of action.

Although the woman in this card is bound and blindfolded, and although it may seem like there’s no way out, if you look around you can see that things are not nearly as bad as they seem. She’s got the light of the full moon to guide her and a path laid out before her with a clear way out. Of course she’d have to untie herself and remove her blindfold to see it too.

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of Oct 16, 2016 – Oct 22, 2016:

We start this week with a Full Moon — Beaver Moon — at 23° Aries 14′ on Sunday. This is a powerful and potentially volatile Full Moon, first because it is a Super Moon (meaning that it’s closest to the Earth in its orbit) and also because it’s very closely conjunct to Uranus.

Numerology Card of the Week — Surrender

91The Numerology Card of the Week

for Oct 15th to Oct 21st , 2016

Number 91 ~ Surrender.  This card indicates a need to surrender your attachment to a particular situation or preferred outcome, because your inability to let go is impeding your success.

Desperation blocks manifestation; therefore, the more you struggle to attract your desire, the more you push it away.

By drawing this card, you are being encouraged to detach from  the situation and surrender the outcome to the Divine.

In order to attract what you want, you must give the Universe space to deliver your request.  This can only be achieved by getting out of the way so that everything can unfold as it should.

It isn’t your job to make it happen; it is simply your job to allow it to happen.  When you surrender the outcome to the Divine, you let the magic flow.
