ADJUSTMENT PLEASE #8

Posted on by
Standard

17 april 2012   >  8/17  >   Balance/Adjustment/The Star

 

Good morning… It’s a beautiful Spring morning.  The canopy of giant Oak trees continues to open their leaves.  Dogwood bloom, birds are busy building their nests in my bushes. Squirrels, do their squirrely thing, torturing my cat. I took a big old inhale and felt all green and bloomy.  Life is good.

 

TAROT HAIKU

 

No line of balance

Adjust from center outward

Join life’s circle

 

Today’s invitation or your birthday year, comes from the number ‘8’ and the tarot card Balance/Adjustment, along with it’s Tarot ally, The Star (#17). Some tarot-authored decks, differ on the # 8 Major Arcana; Strength/Lust or Justice/Balance.   I made a choice to use Crowleys delineation making the ‘8’ card Balance/Adjustment/Justice. Simply, a personal choice.  Within either choice is the opportunity to consider how you balance and adjust your life; how you consider the choices you make to address inner conflict, or trusting what you know is the way to sustain equality within yourself and around you.  I think there is a tending to life in a way that is supported by noticing how you feel, and trusting your intuition and instincts.  Getting to far from the center of yourself will cause imbalance.  There is this constant flow in the nature of things that seems to desire balance.

Your ‘ally’ The Star, reminds you that staying well and healthy, knowing your vulnerability can be an asset.  And that you just might be standing between ‘heaven and earth’ acting as a vehicle for change.  These are all part of this sense of Divine Order to be aware of and mind-full of. 

In the ‘8’, is the management of your resources, your time, your money, and the consideration of how you control and have power; how you lead yourself and others.  It is considered by some, the card of Divine Order.  It will be about how you order your life and live in the material world.  How you manage it and others.  It can be dictatorial, and overly controlling.  Be Mindful.

 

QUESTION TO PONDER

 

What does Divine Order mean to you?

Can you be a vulnerable leader and what does that mean anyway?

In what ways can you adjust and find balance?

What is the difference for you between ‘power over’ and power shared and given?

How might you find justice in an unjust world?

What doesn’t feel fair right now that you can make feel/be a little better?

What needs to get out of the way of your sense of balance?

What isn’t working in how you manage ‘thing’ and what can you do to adjust that?

Can you let go of being perfect, or doing it ‘perfect’ so that you actually get it done?

If you feel you are on a tightrope struggling to stay balanced and centered what might you do to change this?  What needs to happen?

How will you manage your resources?

What are feeling you are losing control over that maybe you need to re-calibrate what that control is?

What is your time management?

REMEMBER FROM WHERE YOU CAME… 7/16

Posted on by
Standard

16 april 2012   >  7/16   > Chariot/Tower

Goodmorning…  another wet spring day in Michigan… And the days turn…

 

TAROT HAIKU

 

Wait to ride the wind

Herald the message beyond

Remember your seed

 

In the ‘7’, there is the investigator, the analyzer, the observer; he/she who misses nothing and gathers what they know into a deeper understanding of how things work and the reason for being.  They are on a need to know bases as they tend to be suspicious of others.  ‘7’ find inspiration in everything they take interest in. There is a tenaciousness about ‘7’s’, at times even a willful fervor when something is decided, it become nearly unshakeable in the truth of it.  ‘7’ desires to be nearly perfect at something/s.

 

The Charioteer, shares the story of gathering, investigating, observing something they feel passionate about. giving focus to a cause, or whatever it is that they feel called into life for their own special purpose.  They will take their time and become fluent in what holds their attention.  Shear will, will drive them on. 

The Tower card gives a story about what happens when the foundation of something keeps reaching beyond itself.  Reaching till it has grown into something that no longer understands or connects to the very root of what brought it into being in the first place.  And without the foundation of life secure and solid in the knowing of what it stands on, the Tower can take a tumble, needing to remember where it began and felt safest.

 

If today is your birthday, these are questions to consider for the whole year.  Grab one or all and see what stirs you up.  Change the wording around to make it feel right for you.  As you ponder these thoughts and questions, please take a moment to sit quietly and breathe.  Let your breath guide you into a quiet place for the questions to have a moment to brew and shimmer.  Invite your wisdom to be your guide.  And remember, if overwhelm sets in, take a very little step.  You have as much time as you need.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

 

What needs to be gathered and investigated right now?

How will you give it your focus?

What incites your suspicions and how can you shift that into a positive outlook?

Is it time for you to take your project to the next level and what does that look like?

Is your foundation strong so that you can take some risks?

Have you gotten to far away from what ‘matters’ and might need to get back to basics?

What inspires you to give all of yourself to?

Does your will-fullness hold people to you or push then away and is that working for you?

Are you too attached to the outcome?

Is it time to shift your attention to something that will work better for you?

‘7’ of what?

BEDEVILED, BOTHERED, AND BEWILDERED ‘6’

Posted on by
Standard

15 april  2012…  >  6/15 >  Lovers/Devil

 crowley tarot…lovers

Oops… kinda off my days here.  and my addition leave a lot to be taken for.  Sorry.  I always marvel at how I do that with such simple math.  Only, I was caught in the death of my brother on that Empress day and clearly I had to make that all days till today.  So… back on track

I sure can use a Lovers kinda day.  How about you?

TAROT HAIKU

Love always sees you

Are you willing to be seen?

Live with open heart

 

Todays invitation is about relationships with others and yourself.  In the ‘6’ there is a great desire for harmony, there is the nurturer, the care giver, the humanitarian, the giving of the self so that others thrive, and the focus on hearth and home.  If your number is ‘6’ (add your date of birth together) you also have a charm about you that can be irresistible. Problems rise when you have given yourself away and have nothing for yourself.  It’s easy to see the Lovers in this number.  

Now that Devil… well…The Devil is the trickster, he/she who sets before you choices that tease you from your path and suggest that you might want to try something different, a new fruit to flavor your life.  When you begin to question who you are and what you do, the Devil will slip into your mind, and tickle at what challenges these questions. The Devil, that little poky voice within, pushes at your marginal resolve, into something that might not be the something you had in mind.  If you know what I mean?  The Devil will challenge your relationships; the ones you have with others and the the one you have with yourself. Thus, I am of the mind that the Devil performs a gift for you on your Path of life so that you can really have a sense of your integrity, your authenticity, and how you allow harmony and love in your life. 

 

QUESTION TO PONDER

 

How do you sustain harmony and balance in your life?

When do you notice that you have ‘giving yourself away’ and there isn’t enough for just you?

If the ‘Devil made you do it’, what would you have done otherwise?

What patterns rise for you when life is going well and balanced, and you get restless to stir the pot up by creating disharmony?  Why?

How do you make sure that you are taking care of yourself as well as others?

How does the ‘be-devilment’ remind you of who you really are?

How do you trick yourself into believing the unbelievable?

How will you nurture your relationships in a healthy way?

How do you make friends with your devilish side?

What would you like to do differently from your usually pattern of caregiving that still feels like you are giving and receiving?

DARE YOU STAND IN THE CENTER… 10/wheel of fortune

Posted on by

10 april 2012  >   10/19/1  >  Wheel of Fortune/Sun/Magician

 

Good morning.. that Wheel sure does keep turning doesn’t it?  And here it is again.

 

TAROT HAIKU

Journey to center

Steady is it goes standing there

Dare to push the edge

 

The Wheel of Fortune, is the Circle of Life, turning and changing,  up and down, east and west; inviting you in to the center where the journey is more steady and focused, where the Sun shine directly on you to help you flourish and see where you’re going and how you’re growing.

A day of being #1, knowing your Oneness, knowing that you are at One with all there is and all you are.  The Magician has all the tools you need;  earth, fire, air, and water, that translates to; what you do, how you hold true to yourself and your passion, how you get clarity, how you feel, and what your heart speaks to you of.  

If today is your birthday, these are questions to consider for the whole year.  Grab one or all and see what stirs you up.  Change the wording around to make it feel right for you.  As you ponder these thoughts and questions, please take a moment to sit quietly and breathe.  Let your breath guide you into a quiet place for the questions to have a moment to brew and shimmer.  Invite your wisdom to be your guide.  And remember, if overwhelm sets in, take a very little step.  You have as much time as you need.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

How will you, how do you shine?

What new beginning is pushing at your edges to consider or take action on?

What can you do that supports that feeling of magic in the air?

If you ‘are the One’, how does your Oneness join with others?

What does the tool of ‘earth’ mean to you?  

What does the tool of ‘fire’ mean to you

What does the tool of ‘water’ mean to you?

What does the tool of ‘air’ mean to you?

What are some other names for these elements, or metaphors that you relate to?  i.e.  feeling grounded and stable, knowing your passion and the flame within you, listening to you heart and intuition, and getting clear and focused.

What of your own Sun will you shine on to make grow and come to fruition?

BRINGIN’ IT ALL TOGETHER… HERMIT… #9

Posted on by
Standard

9 april 2012   >   9/18  > Hermit/Moon

TAROT HAIKU

Drink the moonshine bright

empty the cup to refill

Full on the shine light

 

Good morning… Nine days rolls around fast doesn’t it?  That’s why it’s nice to use the Tarot cards to deepen the days meaning or the invitation to a possible meaning.  

The Hermit doesn’t need to infer a person hiding in a cave or remaining hidden from others for extensive periods of time.  Which isn’t to say Hermit ‘energy’ doesn’t need time to ponder and recluse; to gather energy in quietude and meditation so that there is more energy to have and more light to shine., more wisdom to gather and share.  There isn’t necessarily a time limit on the need for silence and gathering. And… once this time of quietude finds completion, Hermit energy is ready to come out of the silent, quiet space.  It is this return to social interaction that the give back and sharing of wisdom can occur. 

‘9’, is the number for bringing-it-all-together: tying up lose ends, completing that project, that plan, that thought, so you can move on.  Being stuck in ‘9’ energy can keep things from coming to completion or missing out on an opportunity that need more action and less pondering.  

This day or if it’s your birthday is a time to take some quiet time and really gather your light, your unfinished business, your need for closure, whatever has been lingering in the undone zone that pokes at you to finish up.  Maybe you’ve been plowing through life and are drained, depleted, no time for yourself and your creative desires and dreams.  This is day to give a little bit to tidying up what has been bugging you and you feel frustrated with.  It might be a time to let go of that piece of life you keep putting off and putting off and now it’s just a thorn in your side, undone, going no where.

With the Moon as your ally, take a look in those shadows of yours and drag that unfinished business into the light.

 

  As you ponder these thoughts and questions, please take a moment to sit quietly and breathe.  Let your breath guide you into a quiet place for the questions to have a moment to brew and shimmer.  Invite your wisdom to be your guide.  And remember, if overwhelm sets in, take a very little step.  You have as much time as you need.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

 

What wisdom have you gathered that you can honor and share?

What is your ‘light’ and how do you gather your Light and share it?

Can you take some time to just be calm and quiet with no doing?

What does it mean for you to ‘lighten up’?

Do you have project or two or three that you’d like to finish and what does that mean for you?

Can you take some down time?

What needs ‘pulling together’?

Can you honor your own needs and say no to something when you need time alone?

Who needs you to say ‘no, not now’?

Think of what the Hermit means to you and how do you feel about that expression within yourself? 

What inner wisdom is urging you to pay attention to it and listen?

FIND THE BALANCE… #8… Balance

8 april 2012  >  8/16  >  Adjustment/balance/Justice/The STar

 

TAROT HAIKU

 

Catch the starlight fall

Balance the fate of justice

Stand centered adjusting

 

Good morning…Peace be with you on this Christian holiday of Easter.  Whether it is your celebration or not it is a day to feel the Spring of life and the greening of the world around you and maybe within you.

What is green within you?

An 8th day of the month that actually corresponds to the daily tarot…. Yippee..Today’s invitation comes from the number ‘8’ and Balance along with it’s Tarot ally, The Star (#17). Some tarot-authored decks, differ on the # 8 Major Arcana; Strength/Lust or Justice/Balance.   I made a choice to use Crowleys delineation making the ‘8’ card Balance/Adjustment/Justice. Simply, a personal choice.  Within either choice is the opportunity to consider how you balance your life, how you consider the choices you make to address inner conflict, or trust what you know is the way to sustain equality within yourself and around you.  The fact is that there is much injustice in the world and when you can find that balance within yourself and in your immediate community; it’s a good thing.

 

In the ‘8’, is the management of your resources, your time, your money, and the consideration of how you control and have power; how you lead yourself and others.  It is considered by some the card of Divine Order.  It will be about how you order your life and live in the material world.  How you manage it and others.  It can be dictatorial, and overly controlling.  Be Mindful.

 

If today is your birthday, these are questions to consider for the whole year.  Grab one or all and see what stirs you up.  Change the wording around to make it feel right for you.  As you ponder these thoughts and questions, please take a moment to sit quietly and breathe.  Let your breath guide you into a quiet place for the questions to have a moment to brew and shimmer.

 

Today is a day to consider…

*What will you reach for that balances and adjusts your life?

*How do you maintain your well being?

*How do you use your power and resources?

*How do you manage your time?

*What need to be manage right now?

*What does your body tell you that you need to know?

*What will you do that makes a difference in your ‘every day’?

*How do you listen to the world around you before you take action?

*Can you let yourself Shine?  What does that feel like?

 

Please feel free to ask me a question.  I welcome comments and feedback.

LOVER’S BE-DEVILMENT #6

6 April  2012    >  6/15   >   Lovers/Devil

 

TAROT HAIKU

 

Bedevil me lover

Tease me in the trickery

passion my heart song

 

Good morning Tarot enthusiast or maybe you’re a curious lurker.  It’s all good. 

Todays invitation is about relationships, with others and yourself.  In the ‘6’ there is a great desire for harmony, there is the nurturer, the care giver, the humanitarian, the giving of the self so that others thrive, and the focus on hearth and home.  If your number is ‘6’ (add your date of birth together) you also have a charm about you that can be irresistible.

THE HIEROPHANT KNOWS… #5

Posted on by
Standard

5 april 2012   >  5/14   >   Hierophant/Art/Alchemy

 

TAROT HAIKU

Re-source what might be

The what will be is yet here

Here you are right now

 

Good morning… Below is a repeat of a ‘5’/Hierophant day I’ve written about before.  I think it sums it up well and I decided that I didn’t have to recreate the wheel this morning…lol.  What new piece I’d like to add is to consider the elements of this day…  Meaning, earth/fire/air/water.  And always at center for me is spirit.  I give you some questions below to have a better sense of what I mean.  Thanks for your support and interest here.  …..

‘5’ invites the resourceful you to start gathering and thinking out of the box.  It can look like the five pointed star.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagram.  Yesterday, the Emperor held court and made way for the safety of the kingdom/queendom.  In ancient times the Hierophant was the spiritual director, the person that keep a close watch on what was evolving and shifting within and around the ‘dom’.  He (mostly in those day was a he) made sure there was some sort of religious, spiritual path adhered to and that he and his people keep order by gathering all the noteworthy and information for the ‘dom’ to flourish.  In some ways the Hierophant was the most important leader as he knew everything that was going on ‘out of the box’.  Nothing got past the watchful eye of the Priest.

Today is day to keep a watchful eye.  To gather info, that is relevant to you.  Perhaps, a project needs you to dig a little deeper, or looking outside your box is necessary for your sanity.  Maybe, you feel moved by the spirit of something you can’t define and feel the urge to explore it.  If you want to know ‘everything’ than you have to go and learn about it.  Alchemy/Art, invites you to get creative with that.  Try something that you were pretty sure wasn’t going to work that way and do it anyway.  Mix the unlikely with the probably not and see what happens.

*If today is your birthday, these are questions to consider for the whole year.  Grab one or all and see what stirs you up.  Change the wording around to make it feel right for you.  As you ponder these thoughts and questions, please take a moment to sit quietly and breathe.  Let your breath guide you into a quiet place for the questions to have a moment to brew and shimmer.  Invite your wisdom to be your guide.  And remember, if overwhelm sets in, take a very little step.  You have as much time as you need.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

 

What might you need to re-source?

What urges you to give it try but your fear of the outcome gets in the way?

Can you do it anyway?

If you got out of your box, what would it feel/look/taste like?

Can you get out of your box and know that it’s still there supporting you on your journey?

Who might you talk to that can help you?

How do you step out of the routine of you life and seek something different and full-filling?

How might you bring a spiritual practice into your life?

What small step can you take that pulls you out of the doldrumss of life and fills you with creativity and joy?

How do you stay grounded exploring ‘out-of-the-box?

How do you allow your feelings to expand as you reach out?

What thoughts are prevalent in this and need more clarification as you explore?

What ‘lights-you up’ and fills your passion as you explore the great beyond?

An Emperor kinda day.. number ‘4’

Posted on by
Standard

INVITATION TAROT/NUMEROLOGY DAILY…

 

4 April 2012   > 4/13/0  >  Emperor/Death/Fool

 

TAROT HAIKU

Fool leads the way home

Structure rules order’s cubicle

Death laughs at it all

 

Thanks for youR visit and interest.. Today is an Emperor kinda day, the ‘4’s’ main attraction. The leader is in charge of order, structure, rules, getting things down, gathering resources, being very resourceful, knowing who else can get jobs down and delegating. ‘4’ and the Emperor are very busy leading and containing.  The trick is to not make that box inflexible or over structured.  Within that ‘4’ also abide the Fool and Death.  The Fool revels in freedom and the quest to just Be.  Death, suggests you look at all your stuff and the confines of living and consider letting go, give space to something new or simple live less confined.  

If this your birthday, you have a year to consider these invitations.

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

How might you get your ‘house’ in order?

What needs doing that you have put off?

Are there resources you need right now to get your life on track?

In what ways do you feel safe and how do you make that happen?

Can you let go of your attachment to something so that you have room for a greater possibility?

Are your rules limiting or expanding?

What do you value and do you live your life in accordance?

Is there enough ‘play’ in your structured world?

If you could transform one part of you life, what would it be?

What keeps you stuck and resisting that transformation?
