In the fall of 1999, my brother was living with me and nagging me on a daily basis to start dating again. He would say, “Sis, it’s about time that you got back out there again!”
He suggested that I put an ad in the personals to find a man because everyone was doing it, and it was free. He planted a seed in my mind, and after several months of careful thought, I did indeed place an ad in the personals that November. Immediately afterward, I felt like an idiot!
My mother and I composed the ad together, calling for a twenty-four-karat gentleman, not in terms of money, but rather in terms of morals and good family upbringing.
I felt that since times were changing, this endeavor was worth the attempt even though it was not something I was especially comfortable with.

The Timing of a Hidden Prophecy
The Timing of a Hidden Prophecy: I did not look for the tarot, the tarot found me through the visions I received in vivid color.
These visions were kind of spooky but also very amazing and inspired me to learn everything I could about the tarot. The tarot is your best teacher and will show you the root of the situation, or point out the best direction for you to take, or give you something to think about, or help you activate your intuition, or help you on your journey of spiritual development.
My Great Grandmother was a Master Tarot Card and Cartomancy reader and my mother is a Master Cartomancy reader, so the apple did not fall far from the tree.
When it’s your time to work on your life purpose the universe is going to help you get there one way or the other.
Did you know there are hidden prophecies related to the Tarot Cards that are enumerated five? These cards represent the time of an unknown unexpected change that will be revealed to you.
Ace of Cups – Lotus Flower Soup
Before I started reading the Tarot, I slept with my cards under my pillow for three nights to charge them. But the three nights turned into one year and during that year I had dreams about Tarot Cards every night and in the beginning, it was maddening because the cards kept me awake, but later I realized it was a blessing in disguise!
Did you know that you can choose a card from the deck and put this card under your pillow and ask for guidance in your dreams? Your dreams will give you a snapshot of what will happen in the future that you need to prepare for, or your dreams might give you information about something that happened in the past.
I put the Ace of Cups under my pillow and in my dream I ate the magical lotus flower soup (time to consider the contents inside the soup and its symbolism). This dream brought me back to the beginning of my spiritual development with the Master Chin Yin from China and this was the time when I ate lotus flower soup!
The Ace of Cups is enumerated one and associated with the journey of the 1 passageway in the Hero Tarot Deck. Did you know that the Ace of Cups is pure energy with no form or direction until the seeker activates this energy? The 1 vibration is a ground-breaking vibration (the magic of possibilities). This vibration is also related to a gift, a spiritual awakening that comes freely from a hidden place.
Full Moon Chakra Meditation
During the night of the Full Moon (the time when wishes can come true), I started my chakra meditation to raise my vibration level to a higher state of consciousness to meet my higher-self.
At the end of my meditation, I had a beautiful vision and ended up on a beach where I met my higher self. I am a Cancer Sun Sign and related to the element of water, so it made sense that I’d meet my higher self at the beach surrounded by a body of water during a Full Moon!
The Full Moon Chakra Meditation: In this meditation, you envision walking up the chakra ladder one step at a time. You feel the energy of each step (charka) until you arrive at the last step which represents a higher state of consciousness.
Wishes do come true when you are at this level of consciousness and have the Full Moon energies pouring down upon you. The first step of the chakra ladder is the color red and associated with the root chakra – your foundation. Ground yourself to the element of earth and envision yourself feeling safe in your environment.
The second step of the chakra ladder is the color orange and associated with the sacral chakra – your sexual passions and desires. Ground yourself to the element of water and envision feeling safe with your personal and professional relationships and know that these relationships have special meaning.

The Total Solar Eclipse (New Moon) occurs at 6:30 PM UTC in the zodiac sign of Leo at 28 degrees on August 21, 2017 and the energies of this Eclipse might linger for many months to come.
This Eclipse is related to the North Node Rx (the future) and makes you form a relationship with your dreams and desires to complete your soul work and your feelings might be put to the test.
The Solar Eclipse pushes you forward, allowing you to discover who you really are as well as what you can hope to achieve.

The Hermit (the hero) wants to be alone and does not want his peace disrupted. His mind is restless and he needs quiet time, or needs to find what he has overlooked.
He is gathering information, analyzing and searching for answers.
The Hermit will hide for days, weeks or months, returning when he is ready to solve his crisis!
