Happy New Year

This year for my upcoming year reading, I did a Horoscope layout. It was very interesting. You start at the left corner in Aries. Aries Represents Self, which seems appropriate since I am Aries. So here's what it had to say:

1. Aries--Self: Existence. Existence is one of my favorite cards in the deck, in fact, the mural that is on the wall in my spirit room is inspired by this card and the Friendliness card which came up in the Cancer--Roots portion of my reading. Existence is the Magician in other decks. Hmm, me as a magician? Smile. It's all about knowing that I am necessary, that the world would not be the same if I wasn't here, I see it as remembering my value. A beautiful start.

2. Taurus--Personal Resources: Clinging to the Past. aka keeping your head in a box. It took me a bit to get this one. It's all about letting go of how things were to create how things can be. Learning to release the past enables you to embrace the future. Once you put the box down.

3. Gemini--Environment: Innocence. How wonderful! This is the Sun card, all about light and enjoyment in basic moments. Also one of my favorite cards, it shows an older gentle-man talking to a grasshopper with cherry blossoms floating down. I'm sure it's no coincidence that my mural also has cherry blossoms floating... what a lovely card in my environment.

4. Cancer--Roots: Friendliness. This card is all about understanding that while relationships are good, we enjoy the beauty of them and when it's time to move on, we let go. Without regrets and with a smile. It's about not trying to control. Coming up in my Roots is significant. Letting go is a major part of my life right now.

5. Leo--Self Expression: Creativity! Woo Hoo! It doesn't get any better than Creativity in your Self Expression sector. I have a framed picture of this card in my Children and Creativity section of my house, it's the first card I ever framed. It's all about understanding that we ALL are creative as long as what we do is pure and loving and we allow it to come through us "possess us with the creative force". It's why chopping vegetables can be just as creative as painting a masterpiece....

6. Virgo--Health & Service: Schizophrenia. Sigh. Yep. This is all about being trapped in a dualistic mind, "should I do this or that?" And yeah, it's appropriate in this section. It's the constant battle with food and exercise and finding time. It's letting me know to just do it, stop procrastinating and trying to figure out how. Got it. 30 pounds is part of my letting go... No more excuses.

7. Libra--One on One Relationships: Flowering. This brings a special smile... In tarot, you have what is known as a Significator card--a card that represents you. This is mine. She is the Queen of Rainbows, if you've been in my office you've seen the large poster my husband framed as a gift for me a few years ago. It's all about spreading your seeds, joyously, without care where they land... being fully alive and aware. This is my life, my work and what I love to do. In the One on One place is where I'm most comfortable.

8. Scorpio--The Past: Thunderbolt. This is the one that took my breath away. Most of you who have received a reading from me in the past 6 months have seen this card... it keeps coming up over and over. I am particularly concerned about it coming up in my past section but it's not a surprise. It's the Tower in most decks. It's about structures being torn down and making the decision to go down with them or JUMP. This is about the whole world right now. Nuff said.

9. Sagittarius--Learning: The Creator. Deep Breath. Yes. Creator is just what it says. About our Creator and about the masterpiece you have within you if you just get out of the way. Or JUMP out of the way. I am Learning.

10. Capricorn--Life Task: Understanding. This is a beautiful card with a large dove flying out of a cage with bars that are disappearing. Understanding that you put the bars there is a large part of your life task. So appropriate. Watch me fly....

11. Aquarius--Friendships: Ripeness. Another letting go card. "when the fruit is fully ripe, ready to burst with life, the tree doesn't try to hold onto it... it lets go so the fruit can realize it's full potential" This is a very poignant card for me, positive and a bit sobering. Many of my friendships and relationships have come to Ripeness...I love watching them share their "juice", without me.

12. Pisces--The Hidden: Abundance. Woo Hoo again! I just love that line "the hidden abundance" We all have so much abundance available right now if we just turn off the news and put down the paper... it's all around us and within us. Thanks be to God.

So there you have it. My 2009. Looks like it will be a wonderfully enlightening year... just like last year. And the year before....

Deep, deep breath...Namaste'
