Six of Pentacles Reversed with The Star Crossing Over

Six of Pentacles (Reversed) with The Star crossing over - The Tarot of The Haunted House

Sometimes we can care too much and give a little too much. Review the relationships in your life - are there any one sided connections you have that leave you feeling depleted? In which situations do you find yourself the most spread thin? Do you have any close friends that you always show up for, but are hard to find when you are in need? When you have “reached your limit” what or who has pushed you there? It’s ok to cleanse yourself of this kind of energy. It may feel strange to cut a few people loose, but you need to recharge and will not be able to if you are overextended in a toxic way. You may wind up saving some of these relationships down the line by walking away from them in the present. You know there is a clear difference between sharing and taking. Let the night shade illuminate those in your life that need to be washed away. Trust that they will find their way back to you and you will be ready to set boundaries with them when they return. Reciprocity should be your new standard moving forward.

The Nine of Cups - Reversed

“A dream is a wish your heart makes…” “When you wish upon a star…” Let’s talk about wishes. Wish fulfillment is exciting, but our culture has definitely over romanticized this notion through songs, stories, films and more. Since we childhood we’ve been taught to wish upon a shooting star, wish upon a dandelion, and make a wish before you blow out your birthday candles and more and more… There is some magic here, but it’s all so fleeting and immediate. It can be fun and exhilarating to dream about the things in life we want most. But, as you grow older, you understand that wish fulfillment requires work and wishes don’t always manifest in the manner you envision. Sometimes a wish can come true and leave you feeling like there is still something missing. If you have brought to fruition a dream that you want and still need more, perhaps this is your guide map to true happiness? Examine the thing that is missing and the next time you put your magical wish out into the universe, be even more specific. Also, while wishing, ask the universe to also send you the capacity to deal with all of the elements that arise with your wish. Ready yourself for manifestation of your personal dreams and make sure the thing you ask for is truly the thing you want. “Careful the wish you make. Wishes are children. Careful the path they take - wishes come true, not free”. - Into the Woods, Sondheim

Ten of Cups - Ace of Cups - Three of Pentacles

Ten of Cups - Ace of Cups - Three of Pentacles from The Tarot of the Haunted House by Sasha Graham

I decided for the month of October, I would use my Haunted House Deck. For the last 3 days, as I’ve pulled the card of the day/night, these 3 cards have jumped out of the deck. I’m guessing it’s time to examine them since my deck is practically screaming about this. This year, October is starting with a full moon and ending with a full moon. Powerful, dark emotional energy is spilling down on us all. It will feel unpredictable and present us all with some exaggerated highs and lows. Accepting the help and support of others is key to steering our ship through uncharted and obscure territories. Following the light of the moon will require us to tap into the murkiest parts of who we are. Our nearest and dearest are there for us, though. Relying on each other will be a necessity for balance as we navigate the emotional ups and downs. Remember in your darkest moments that the support you need is nearby and don’t lose sight of the fact that you may be the support that someone else needs.

Your card of the night is calling to you. Are you letting the stress of day-to-day living get under your skin? In these uncertain times, there is definitely a wealth of anxiety ridden obstacles to haunt us during our days. You try so hard to remain balanced, but find the intense energy of the world keeps dragging you down that long, dark hallway. Tonight, try a little lucid dreaming. See if you can confront your biggest fears while you sleep. Perhaps if you can conquer them in dreaming life, you will find a new perspective on these haunts in waking life. Bravely strut down that long, dark hallway in your dream. Answer the creepy call of those little demons. See those evil, life sucking thoughts and destroy them by taking ownership of your mind and heart. Restore your own sense of personal balance and free yourself from the mental stress you impose upon yourself. Recognize that you may be your own haunt.

There is a a quiet durability behind your eyes and a calm diligence running through your veins. You understand that achievement can be accessed in many ways and your personal resolve to achieve guides your journey. Power can be accessed through gentleness and ease.

An unusual shift may be happening internally for you today. Retreat into the complex universe inside of your heart - there are truths hidden there waiting to be revealed.

If you find you need to assert yourself today, be careful to not let the emotions of others diminish your personal power. Remain objective by maintaining your sharp focus and clear thinking on all matters. Your decisions are wise and guided by truth - trust that your keen understanding of the situation is the most direct path to a positive outcome. Be confident in your thought process and sharp with your actions. You do not necessarily need to take the emotions of others into consideration this time.

What elements of your life are you avoiding? Decision making is stressful and you may feel overwhelmed about the choices you have yet to make. But, the truth is the choice is irrelevant. What you are pushing away is not the choice, but pieces of yourself and your circumstance that you have not yet come to terms with. It’s time to face this aspect of who you are by ripping off your blindfold and taking a step forward. Confront your demons by taking a chance and any decision you make will lead you in the right direction. It’s time to face your fears.

Eight of Wands - Reversed…

Eight of Wands (Reversed)

Sometimes ideas can cloud our minds. You may want to be careful about getting stuck in your thoughts about an intention you have. If you wait to take action, the concept of the possibility may start to morph in your mind. Fantasy will overtake reality and consume you. Procrastination then settles in, as you may obsess over the steps you are about to take. Direct clear thinking and swift action is advised. Do not get caught in a dizzying atmosphere that usurps your thought process in a toxic manner. Rumination is good sometimes, but not if it overtakes rational thinking. Stop this cycle and move forward - learn as you go. You will find that the perceptions you gain as you move forward are based more in reality and therefore, more actionable!

The Fool with The Page of Wands (Reversed)…

The Fool into The Page of Wands (Reversed) from the Light Seer’s Tarot

My new deck is sneaky - it always wants to give us a deeper message - it always yearns for me to pull one more card! And, today it really hit it out of the park. Everything is new and you may feel like you are jumping off a cliff and falling into the abyss with this new found vision and energy! But, let it happen. Once you are airborne, you will summersault your way into this new creatively driven version of you. Look at your ideas and visions from all angles - allow all thoughts and feelings to soar. You are meant to be in motion right now and though it may feel like you are completely out of control, this is just one exciting leap toward a clearer, more open version of you. Face the fear - dive in. Be a daredevil. Haven’t you always wanted to fly?

Temperance

Temperance from The Casimir Lee Tarot

Today might catch you off-guard with stress inducing challenges. You might feel pushed to the limit in ways you hadn’t expected. Trust that the universe is supporting and guiding you, take a deep breath and channel your inner reserve of patience. Focus, balance, steadiness and ease might seem to be abstract ideas, but hone in on the abstract and you will be able to find that equilibrium. Accept the fire and water of your personal angel and channel it to overcome situations that overwhelm you. There is strength and grounding in approaching life with calming energy and a vision that allows you to see beyond yourself. You are protected. You are safe.

The Emperor - Reversed

The Emperor (Reversed) - a rendition from the Star Wars Tarot by Eli

Do you currently feel a heavy burden of responsibility has been placed upon your shoulders? Is it magnified because others rely on you so heavily? It’s normal to want to rebel against this, or simply long to just walk away. But, the power that you hold in your life doesn’t have to feel so burdensome. Re-envisioning your personal brand of authority can provide you with fulfillment. Approach your overwhelming duties in a different way. Begin to notice today how your influence can ease others and invite joy and comfort. Take a moment to enjoy the results of your reverence towards others and how they respond to it and you. Your direction and guidance is potent power. And how you exert that power says everything about who you are and how you will feel at the end of the day. By being gentle to other’s needs, you are also being gentle to your spirit.

Seven of Swords - Reversed

The Seven of Swords (Reversed) from the Steam Punk Tarot

Today, as I was shuffling, this card just fell out on me. Sometimes we cannot see our own potential clearly. We believe we are not enough or we are not capable of the things we do. We feel, deep down, that we are lying to ourselves and others about who we are and what we have to offer. This “imposter” thought process can spiral, leading you stay hidden from the world out of doubt and denial. If you feel this way, it might be more helpful to advance than to retreat. Do not let your distorted fears hold you back from being who you truly are and doing what you love. Walk into the fear - embrace yourself and your circumstances fully. Trust that you are where you are meant to be and doing the thing you most need to be doing. Allow our world to benefit from your spirit and what you have to offer. We need you!

Two of Pentacles

The Two of Pentacles from Shadowscapes Tarot

It’s incredibly impressive the way you keep juggling all of the things life throws at you and still maintain a sense of balance. You feel balanced - right?!? Are you sure?! Listen, it’s ok to admit that, though you may feel and look like you have got it all together, you are actually one step away from falling off the edge. Balance is harder than it looks. Sometimes you have to take a step back and reassess how to stay centered. Reevaluating situations is a necessary step. Make small changes that will help you regain authentic control. You’ve got this, but no one expects perfection or for you to do it alone. It’s also very impressive to set boundaries and enlist help to lighten the tension and find your grounding!

The Four of Swords

The Four of Swords from The Everyday Witch Tarot

You have been through a great deal lately - now is your moment to snuggle in with your thoughts, connect to your inner glow and recover. Today is the perfect day to curl up and take a nap. The crisp fall wind is urging you to retreat. Solitude will recharge you. If not a nap, what kind of restful activity can help you to reinvigorate your spirit? A hot tea with a juicy novel? A deep meditation? A warm bath? A moment with your journal or a coloring book? Light a candle and cuddle your darling pet. Go get a massage! Staying in your pajamas all day IS not only allowed, but encouraged. Honor yourself with solitude and allow yourself to rejuvenate. You have earned it.

The Ten of Cups and The Ten of Wands (Reversed)…

The Ten of Cups and The Ten of Wands (Reversed) from the Light Seer’s Tarot Deck

Another fun second card sneaks in as I pull our card of the day! What is the message? You may have been feeling like you were forced to make a move in a direction that you never intended. Your path shifted unexpectedly away from the creative and fulfilling life you had in mind. But, rest assured that no matter where you roam you will find love, family and community. Emotional abundance travels with you. You cannot escape the protection and support of the universe - it is guiding your path. And love, joy and gratitude live within you - so they will be there with you wherever you find yourself. If you currently cannot see this as fact, look deeper within - it’s all there. Endings are beginnings and love surrounds you.

The King of Swords

The King of Swords from Tarot of the Hidden Realm

Master your strategy by bringing forth your keen and powerful intellect. Today is a good day to leave emotions out of whatever it is you hope to conquer. Try to see your situation from all angles and then pinpoint the most powerful and direct action you can take. Use your personal power to map out a plan before launching into action. Sometimes we have to leave the heart out of it and trust that wisdom and knowledge can take us a long way. Tap into your mind and use your thoughts to your advantage. If you feel truly blocked in your situation, you may even benefit from reaching out to an advisor or someone who holds even more knowledge on the subject. Gaining expertise can only help in your quest.

The Queen of Wands

The sky may be a bit gray and foggy today, but you are a queen and you are shining bright! There is no time like the present to own your own creative boldness. Though it seems like we are still very much in solitude, I think you have some really fun ideas brewing on how to connect and collaborate with your community. Time to take action on this - be courageous, be creative and know that you have that special shine that people are drawn to. Own your glow. Now go out there and be the queen you are - conquer and embrace the world around you!

The Ten of Cups

The Ten of Cups from Sasha Graham’s Dark Wood Tarot

Our card of the night is The Ten of Cups. As you drift off to sleep tonight, take a moment to be grateful for all of the love in your life. Note that the moon shines its luminescent glow down on you and your loved ones, filling your cups with everything you need to fuel you in the day. List in your mind those who are the closest to your heart. The moonlight has healing and protective energy that you can harness on their behalf. Tonight, when you dream, run wild with your wolf-pack and shout to the moon your deepest wish for their true happiness. What exciting wild adventures will you have with them in your nighttime visions? What dark, yet hopeful energy will you bring to them when you wake? Sweet dreams…
