March 26 - April 1
I just caught the last minutes of the new hit show “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?” The question posed to the adult was “What continent that starts with an A is also a country?” The adult gave up the chance to double her money (she had $300,000 already) because she could not answer the question. How sad is that? It was a simple geography question. And then it occurred to me - most of us really believe that once we exit the school system everything we learned is unnecessary to retain and we don’t need to learn anything new nor do we need to pay attention to what goes on in the world.
In defense of the adult on the show, it would be really nerve racking to be on a game show and have to say “I’m NOT smarter than a fifth grader” when you can’t answer a question. Thus the beauty of this show - kids are fearless, if given the right nest to thrive in they want to learn as much as they can, are always looking for more and are pleased to let you know what they have discovered. Maybe this show is an opportunity to stir our adult population into a dictionary carrying, history reading and geographically sharp group thus generating a more original and thought provoking society. Well...it was just a thought.
The 6 of cups is all about the inner child and the need to keep creative thought alive in your life. In doing so it spills over into the lives of others keeping hope and joy alive and thriving. Think about getting back in touch with your 5th grader. What was it that you loved to do, loved to read, loved to play or sing? Remembering can fill in the blanks as you traverse adulthood and geography questions.
Take a look at the cool jewelry at the left of this blog – lots of Celtic clan, animal fetish and a few goth oriented silver rings and charms available through this merchant. And no, I don’t get anything for mentioning them. I just think it’s cool stuff. And it’s all made right here in Albuquerque.
The Secret of Spring Equinox - Weekly Tarot Horoscopes
March 19 - March 25
I love the equinoxes and the solstices. They are natural markers to remind us of the cycles of life and the nature of life – we birth and new life emerges, we live and learn, we harvest the knowledge of living and then we return to the whole, our bodies and our personal energy becoming the soil for future life. I use them as reminders that the world, my world, can change according to the direction I choose to take.
Something to keep in mind during the time from Spring Equinox to Summer Solstice – where opposite forces meet creation can occur. The statement begs the question, where is it that opposite forces meet? Equinoxes are about opposites meeting in balance, hence, equal night and day. The experience of being human is about splitting into masculine and feminine thus creating opposite or opposing forces that come together to create life. The masculine and feminine come together in relationship to each other to create anything - every human has both the masculine and the feminine within them and they create relationship as needed, create in groups or singly, within. One is never without the other and to live life as if one is more important than the other or is less than the other is to be spiritually unaware.
Opposite forces can also be interpreted as opposing forces (reference a dictionary for further definition). The word meet implies common ground. Common ground is where opposing forces come together. Recognizing common ground should be a theme in the coming months if you are committed to personal change. If there is no common ground then step away as there is nothing to create here. (This challenges you to recognize and step outside of dysfunctional behavior and bad habits.) That does not mean there won’t be common ground in the future or that there wasn’t in the past. It simply means not right now.
The Law of Gender, of which Equinoxes and Solstices are a reminder, says gender is in all things. The challenge is to see beyond the physicality of gender and recognize the spirit residing within the body.
The creative, dream like quality of winter is giving way to the warmth, force, and direction driven nature of the Sun and Spring is here.

The Secret Laws - Weekly Tarot Horoscopes
March 12 - March 18
We are in for a shockeroo as a country. Many of us have been aware of this for some time and have been making changes and shifts in our lives accordingly. Unfortunately the grand majority are completely uneducated in the area of self discovery or assimilating a new vision for themselves; they cling in fear to routines that are obviously not working. When we cling with emotion (fear or joy) we can only attract what we emote. Many of the processes in place (internally and externally, both personal and socially) need to be allowed to disintegrate and be replaced in total or completely dropped from the landscape. Spring Equinox is upon us and once again the Strength card is at the forefront of the weekly tarot horoscopes. Universal Laws, the Strength card symbolizes the Law of Suggestion, are not laws that can be rewritten. Our president and all those in power across the world and in our corporations and communities cannot simply decide to ignore, veto or rewrite one or all of them. We live by these Universal Laws whether we acknowledge them or not and they live under the surface of our skin and deep within the psyche. Yes, they can be misused, obviously that is so, but fortunately each of us has the ability to see the truth if we so choose to think and reason. Unfortunately proper thinking and reasoning must be taught and as a whole our society does not acknowledge this need generally due to fear and ignorance (those in charge do not want to be challenged).
Here is a secret: Emotion is potent and the Law of Suggestion says that nothing is worthy of acting upon or being attracted to unless it is powered by emotion. Organized religion understands this and uses it often to their advantage. Know this - the ability to reason clearly and with truth built into the thought process is necessary before throwing emotion into the equation, in fact it can trigger emotion. Seeing into a situation and not relying on surface information is vital to creating change. In order to attract (using the Law of Attraction) you must connect emotion with what you desire AND you must have a clear picture of what you want. Faulty premises will lead to faulty attractions.
As always give yourself permission to be and have your hearts desire.

Strength Is The Secret Code - Weekly Tarot Horoscopes
March 4 - March 10
The tarot horoscopes this week focus in a huge way on the Strength card – remember when I “read” these horoscopes I am using the foundation card as shown plus others for clarification and Strength showed up in many of the clarifications. Strength is about self-control, about inner discipline, about using the inner nature in appropriate ways. It is matched with the process of digestion where food is transformed into fuel for the body, and yes, parallels with poor eating habits are part of this.
A good way to consciously step into and use the Strength card is to surround yourself with what you want to become. The experiences, the people, the foods, the words, the objects and the thoughts that you choose to surround you and fill you are what you become. Surround yourself and begin to interact with the world and person you want to become and watch your being change. Sorry, no instant lotto winners here as this process requires focus and attention. Find yourself wandering from the mark? Not a problem, just bring your Self back and begin again, repetition is key. Your subconscious responds best to sharp, clear images. That’s why television programs and especially the nightly news have such a huge and unfortunate impact on the world, especially us Americans and our youth - we become what we clothe ourselves with.
The beauty of being human? Our brains can handle any change we want to make, it’s never too late to go to the next level. As always, you are in charge of what you do with this information so make the best of it! Strength is The Secret.
