August 13 - August 19
Decisive, knowledge driven decision-making skills are vital to living a full life. When you allow someone else to make decisions for you, you miss the opportunity to be a creator in your own life. Knowing how to make up your mind and then taking action ends the personal chaos and allows you to take control.
If you find you have difficulty making decisions consider the following:
- The only way to make change happen in your life is to make a decision.
- You will never know what you are made of and what you are capable of if you don’t make the decision to know.
- Making up your mind should not make your life stop, it should move your life forward.
Worrying about whether you will make a mistake when you make a decision can drive many people into a tailspin. The deciding factor should be the outcome you wish to achieve. Does the decision feed it or block it? Does the decision ultimately feed life or suppress life?
Sometimes a decision is not so obvious and this is when your personal intent must be examined. REASON and ORDER and the ability to DISCERN and DISCRIMINATE are vital in these moments. Use the cards 4, 5, and 6 (The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers) to assist you and see yourself as the CHARIOT driver, one who knows the right use of limitation (also seen as containment) to establish harmony.
Examples: Think about water and how easily it can be directed. Beavers do this all the time using debris to redirect the water. Humans do this by building concrete structures to hold and redirect water. Humans can do this with energy as well.
Think of your decision-making process as intent in action.

How to Start Being Conscious - Weekly Tarot Horoscopes
May 14 - May 20
Observation is vital to correct reasoning. If you don’t step back to watch and listen you aren’t getting the complete picture. And the complete picture is necessary before making a choice – the best choice for you. This week the horoscopes repeatedly point to the need for observation in becoming more conscious of the world around you.
Here are some ideas about how to approach observation for those of you who rush into things (I think that is probably all of us).
Wait. Before you jump into a conversation, before you open your mouth, mentally stop yourself and count to 10. Your jaw may push forward attempting to speak. You may feel a jerking sensation in the body – its attempt to respond. You may even have emotion rise upward to your chest. All of these things are a learned response. If you are so focused on getting a word in edgewise you aren’t observing.
Listen. Next time you find yourself in public look for a comfortable place to park yourself and spend some time listening. Listen to everyone around you, their conversations, their voices, their inflection when they speak. Can you pick out the ones attempting to manipulate? What about the ones playing victim? Or the ones trying to control the conversation. Mull over what you are hearing. Do you sound this way? Which conversations were you drawn to? Consider why.
Choose words carefully. In a conversation this week make a point of observing yourself and the person you are conversing with. Is it mindless information? Are you a talker or maybe the other person is. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life saying nothing?
Learn to act and not react. Spend some time looking at the Hierophant card and the Chariot card. The Hierophant corresponds to the faculty of HEARING. The Chariot corresponds to the faculty of SPEECH. Both images can assist you in unlocking the secrets of those faculties.
