September has to be one of my favorite months, perhaps because the promise of change excites me, perhaps because the changing colors excite my body's energy centers (chakras) and seems to enhance my connection to the universal energies Here's the thing ... Change is good Change is inevitable, the only real constant in life. Each day is different than the last even if only in minute ways. No two days are ever the same, and you are not the same as you were yesterday, nor will you be the same tomorrow as you are today Use the coming changes as a stepping stone for your own changes; changes in knowledge of the Tarot, changing of your negative thoughts to ones that will lead you to greater abundance in life, change in attitude about your own self worth You are as powerful as the universe around you and as capable of creating change in your own life Embrace change. Feel the power and the excitement

A two card spread can be used for a quick answer or guide in how to solve a current situation, or perhaps assistance in deciding "next steps". It is not in-depth answer by any means but at a time when you are feeling stuck and you need an immediate path forward then this type of spread is suitable to give you that forward momentum In this spread I asked for guidance on how to best handle spam DMs I am getting from certain group members who are trying to "sell me" their business ideas for my community The situation/problem = card 1 A person running their own community in which they are likely passionate about; but they have built their platform on unstable ground (in this case choppy water) The challenge/solution = card 2 This community is my way of building not only abundance in my life but the lives of my community members as well (see my About page). I must remain steady confident, and in control of my own vision and purpose It's simple but true. No need for the minute details as I can figure those out (or ask the cards for guidance) as I go along

Ultimately not my spread of choice as I feel the answer may be incomplete but they do have their place A one card spread can be used to answer a specific question, for some daily guidance, or for meditation guidance And there are several ways you can interpret the card you pull; either through straight intuition, through symbolism, or by interpreting the traditional meaning of the card Try it now for yourself. Ask a simple but specific question, shuffle your deck while doing so, and then choose your card. If you feel like it you can share here in the comments I drew this card for myself with the question "what will my life look like if I choose to move back in to my apartment for October 1st" (my 2 sons are currently living there, while I am staying at my daughter's place)

Remember yesterday when I mentioned that not all Tarot decks pay attention to color meanings. That's not a bad thing, it simply means that if your deck does not utilize color to help you understand and grasp the meaning of a card you will need to rely much more on your intuitive feelings you get when doing your readings. And intuition is something you should be using anyway. You can miss a lot of the message if you rely only upon the memorized book meanings of your cards Anyway, here is a sample of 3 different versions of the High Priestess, where the color "blue" represents intuitiveness. Do you not find that color helps you "feel" more and connect more with the card?

Have you ever used the Tarot, or Oracle cards, to help you understand or improve your state of health? Just as you can use the cards to help guide your everyday life, your schooling or job choices, even partnerships and romances, the cards are also useful in helping you keep track of your health. The use of sound/vibrational tools, Reiki, crystal bowls and even crystals, have long been used for healing purposes, but the Tarot cards can also help you understand and know when to seek medical guidance I have used most tools myself. Now last night I had a bout of vomiting and diarrhea for which I could not find a reason. Certainly it wasn't from anything I had recently eaten, nor was anyone else in the household sick. So I checked in with my cards this morning; is there anything I should be seeking medical attention for? I did use chakra alignment last night to ease the discomfort and address realigning my energy centers. Plus when things finally settled I went straight for my good old standby...gingerale I'm feeling much better today and the cards indicate I did the right things. I used my own knowledge, the tools I have at hand, but I must be wary that the near future could see a little trouble. But I don't seem to need any specific medical attention aside from that. Think I'll stick with a straight liquid diet today ( I really should better my eating habits)
