Tarot of the Week: Five of Pentacles
Tarot Card of the Week: June 6 -June 12, 2016 Five of Pentacles The New Mythic Tarot is one of my favorite decks. All cards represent the characters in mythology that are our archetypal selves.

Office Romance: Fun for Some, But Not for Everyone
It all started off innocently enough. He was the new guy at the office. She was a co-worker. But then something happened. He started flirting with her, and spinning her head with cool jokes and funny pictures. They would sit together and give each other knowing looks at office meetings. They got each other’s jokes.

Tarot Card of the Week: Ten of Swords
Tarot Card of the Week: March 28 – April 3 Ten of Swords The man in this card seems to be going through a tremendous amount of suffering, he doesn’t have just one sword at his back but 10!

How to Get Over a Broken Heart
If your partner broke up with you and your heart feels like a sledgehammer tore it apart, you have one of two choices: You can either wallow in the pain of it all and can carry on with your negative thoughts and berate yourself, thus making yourself MORE miserable; OR you can do something completely different and choose to get over him/her as quickly as possible.

Ask a Psychic: Long Distance Love
This week’s question comes from a woman who’s developed a love connection a man she’s been been friends with (online) with for the past two years. Both of them were involved with other people at the onset of their friendship: she was married and he was involved in a long term committed relationship. But over time as their other relationships ended, they’ve grown closer and now admit to having much stronger feelings for one another. Our client, whom we will call Candice, says she feels a little silly getting so emotionally invested in someone she’s never met in person, although they do speak on the
Are There Spirits Among You?
How can you tell? The hair on the back of your neck stands up when you walk into a room. A cool breeze touches your cheek and there is no open window. You see movement out of the corner of your eye but there is no one there. You take a picture and an unexplainable shadow shows up. Could there be spirits among you? Someone trying to contact you? Could it be your own spirit guide or angel? Perhaps it is someone you know who has passed on and is trying to communicate? At other times you may feel a

5 Ways to Stop Being “The Other Woman”
It all starts innocently enough. At first you may share glances of humor, secretly laughing at a co-worker or work environment. Then small conversations, or quips, and jokes turn into long and serious conversations. Then you can’t wait for work to start so you can see each other again. Slowly the conversations turn into caresses, and then passionate moments in the break room or long lunches at a motel room. The connection is unbelievable because you seem to be in sync at every moment. All seems well, you feel you finally found your soulmate after a long search, except for
