Change is in the air...I love the idea so much and for some reason I think I can get around the actual doing of it every time. I figure that the idea of letting go and the process of change must invoke the worst aspects of falling, hence it's lack of popularity. And so while we like the idea of being free enough to let go and make change, we recoil at the idea of hitting the ground at some point. Talking about letting go and actually experiencing it appear to be two different things. Or am I perceiving out of fear?
Humans love to scream and holler about letting go and making change and the very definite need we have for it at this point in history. In reality very few of us are willing to actually go through the process of letting go of old, outdated ideas. Yours truly included. And yet, when I have finally let go, the experience has always turned out for the better. I have never had the experience of actually hitting the ground. Instead, I creatively rearrange for the better and move on.
I believe "letting go" takes practice and so I encourage each one of you to identify something that you need to let go of (Spending money you don't have, i.e. using credit cards, is not letting go of outdated ideas. Neither is shooting your partner.) and begin the process of letting go. Listen to the chatter in your head and be objective about the process. Conflict and confusion are part of letting go.
My latest tool for points of conflict and confusion is the Hermit card. This lone figure stands atop the same mountain the Fool so happily strolls off of or should I say falls off of. The Hermit represents all those who have gone before us and holds the energy of experience, perspective and accomplishment. Holding the lantern of the light of wisdom, the Hermit beckons us forward, lighting the way.
Next time you are faced with conflict and need a bit of relief from the mental and emotional struggle, allow the image of the Hermit to pop into your consciousness. Recognize your patterns and allow the moment to pass. Most importantly, trust what comes, even if it is a separation or an ending. Just let go of it and dedicate yourself to the next layer of understanding. Get yourself reorganized and then move on to another topic, another day, another moment.

Want To Attract Your Dreams and Desires? - Weekly Tarot Horoscopes
June 4 - June 10
Are You Undermining Your Success? Think of yourself as a pendulum, swinging toward a point in time, swinging over that point and way past the point and back across your goal. Whoops, missed it again but closer than before and suddenly you find yourself close to where you started. “That’s not good,” you say “I don’t want to be there again, yuck. I need to fix this.” And so instead of allowing the movement you have begun to take you where it needs to go, you begin to gyrate around to where you believe you need to be. For a moment you appear to be closer to the goal but that is just an illusion. What you have done is gyrate so far out of the course of events that you aren’t headed where you wanted to go. And all because you decided you knew how it all was suppose to happen. Your thinking took you out of orbit and left you swinging wildly in space. It took you far away from the swinging lantern of the, the beacon.
Can You Enjoy The Ride? Sometimes we need to be uncomfortable or even wrong and to learn from that. Sometimes we need to let the momentum of our goal, our daily focus and attention, take us where it needs to take us to get to the final spot. If we believe we know exactly how to get from 'a to b' instead of identifying 'b' and taking action to move toward it and allowing the movement of action to take us there, we aren’t going to be as successful.
Working up a sweat? This isn’t a race. There is no need to be competitive merely for competitions sake. Yes, I know we have an economic structure that is based on competition in the marketplace. That doesn’t mean we have to compete. We can create merely because we see a need. We can create because it is the right thing to do. We can create and become rich from anything we put our thinking to.
Creativity is the path that takes us where we have never been before. It teaches us to pour our energy into a focus, a goal, and to take action toward it. Miracles abound once a goal is set and action is taken toward the goal – this is creativity.
