- Tarot readings and horoscopes are conversations with self. The reader or writer is merely an interpreter/facilitator. They do not necessarily know the details of your everyday life. Use them as a tool for self analysis and to plan and strategize and you will get the most from them.
- Writing a horoscope means writing for 1000's of people with the same astrological sun sign. Although I see details, I need to generalize them to some extent so everyone can benefit.
- A general horoscope touches on a bird's eye view of the energy available during the time period stated. You are always in charge of your life so do with the information what thou wilt.
- If I make reference to a relationship and you are not in one, consider those around you that you relate to everyday - coworkers, neighbors, bosses, the people that serve you in the stores you frequent on a daily or weekly basis. These are relationships too.
- Business and work may be home and family to some of us. Home and family may be business and work to others. Keep this in mind when reading your scope.
- The pronouns he and she generally refer to masculine and feminine energy. When reading, I see the difference in the energies but not necessarily as individual people. You are left to interpret this as needed.
- My readings are very non-biased toward physical gender and sexual preferences. I don't care if you have to paint yourself purple to have sex. It does not matter to me. However, if you are abusive in any manner to anyone or thing, that does matter and you need to seek help OR if you are uncomfortable with your sexuality or misusing it in some way then seek help.
- When I bring up legal issues and you know you have none then consider that there are legal issues within - areas that need more balance, are ill, in need of being removed or put on probation.
- There are no evil cards in the tarot. Many people take issue with this. Here's my take: Intent is 100% of the law. People can be evil if that is their intent. But the cards? They are merely symbols that describe concepts and consciousness. The Tower, The Devil, and the Death card can indicate a death or a traumatic event but more than likely they are references to transformation, new life, the pitfalls of life or transition.
- If you choose to see the world as a bad place then, indeed, it will be.
- Change is a gift.

How To Analyze Tarot Horoscopes and Readings
Here are some notes and observations that may assist you when reading the tarot horoscopes I write for you every week:
Weekly Tarot Horoscopes
May 10 - May 16, 2010
Aries Mars (March 21 - April 20) – A flash of enlightenment fills your mind. Recheck your feelings toward friends and family. If you have stayed connected where you should have walked away or accepted as truth something that has niggled at you then re-examine. The Tower
Taurus Venus (April 21 - May 20) – Authority moves in to untangle a mental mess. Putting thoughts in order requires a steadfast process, a continual cleaning up and an ability to discern what works and what does not. Loud music, disrespectful people and unkempt environments need to go. Emperor
Gemini Mercury (May 21 - June 20) – Look upon the week as a final tempering, an opportunity to take a last look at what thoughts and judgments you have become entangled with. Spend some time “cleaning up” the mind and the home before the energy begins to lurch forward next week. Knight of Wealth reversed
Cancer Moon (June 21 - July 22) – New financial opportunities begin to lineup in the background. These money making and abundance events will flourish only if you can wrap your mind around the hugeness of abundance that awaits you. It's a step up and forward after the fifteenth. 7 of Swords
Leo Sun (July 23 - August 22) – When illusions drop away there is a need for regrouping and a rearranging so that the truth can be fully operational within. Your inner guidance and higher authority will help you through this process, just relax and know you are never alone. 7 of Cups reversed
Virgo Mercury (August 23 - September 22) – Through a series of arguments and misunderstandings you discover that love truly is the only answer. Don't allow yourself to become deeply involved in the shouting and yelling. Step back and let it just be what it is. 4 of Cups reversed
Libra Venus (September 23 - October 22) – You seem to be left out of the picture but behind the scenes a negotiation is taking place between two men that releases you from an old situation. A decision needs to be made on your part about whether you go with the flow or balk. I suggest going with the flow and allowing it all to just be. 10 of Wealth
Scorpio Pluto (October 23 – November 22) – A chance to release yourself from an agonizing situation—this occurs mentally and as a power or force that shifts the body. Negotiate carefully to receive the most benefit. And remember, home is wherever you want it to be. Star reversed
Sagittarius Jupiter (November 23 - December 21) – You make a series of decisions that disturbs everyone's perceptions abut you, them and the group. Stay focused upon your goal and say as little as possible. The whirling accusations will completely miss the mark if you keep silent. 8 of Swords reversed
Capricorn Saturn (December 22 - January 19) – The need to shift the family focus means a few angry responses and a lot of rearranging of events and routines. The next few years will mean many changes with a very high success rate. Make sure to spend time meditating on the changes before implementing them for best results. 10 of Wealth
Aquarius Uranus (January 20 - February 19) – An unusual effort on your part triggers some rambunctious behavior from others. Their response enlightens you to a set of actions—a string of actions—that you have never considered before. Analyze them and tuck them away for future reference. Hierophant reversed
Pisces Neptune (February 20 - March 20) – Keep an eye peeled for someone who is not honest about their actions. New relationships enter your world on a massive scale (well, compared to the previous scale) and your heart is given an opportunity to grow more fully. 7 of Swords
Taurus Venus (April 21 - May 20) – Authority moves in to untangle a mental mess. Putting thoughts in order requires a steadfast process, a continual cleaning up and an ability to discern what works and what does not. Loud music, disrespectful people and unkempt environments need to go. Emperor

Staying Grounded When Change Shifts Everything
My personal experience with change shows me that building a support system is an important preparatory step to surviving change with a modicum of sanity. You will never be able to build for every change, that’s just the nature of change. But you can put some anchors in place to assist the process. And this is where the earth cards come into play.
What is Change?
Change is simply a transformation of energy from one form or one state into another. Some changes are much more dramatic than others and for a variety of reasons. All change demands a mental transformation and challenges our way of thinking. Sometimes it involves a perceived loss. Tracking the whole truth about the transformation/change is not available until after the fact. And, to make it more difficult, the need for perspective in tracking the deepest truth about the change can reel itself into the future so far that perceiving the whole of it, well sometimes it just never happens. In other words, the true nature of change happens to the person experiencing the change. Expressing the experience verbally is often very difficult.
The Magick of Earth
Thank the universe for the element of earth. Earth grounds and depending on the degree of earth within you, you may be able to ground yourself easily without much thought. People who can do this can weather any storm and you definitely want one of them in your corner. But alas, most us get flustered in one area or another and need help.
Try incorporating these 3 ways toward stability into your path:
1. Plan a firm foundation – Combine your mental capability with earth. Focus and attention and developing skills will carry you through any job or career change. It’s when we get stagnant and inflexible that we don’t move forward. Look to education as the way up. Tackle skills before you really need them. Allow your self some time to mourn any loss but don’t make the loss part of your belief system. Examine these cards in the Rider-Waite deck: 8 of Coins
2. Limit distractions – This may mean eliminating people who demand that you entertain them. It may also mean cutting back on diversionary tactics and stepping out of auto pilot – less television, less internet, less gossip, more reading, deeper conversation, more volunteering, more physical movement. It also means you need to face every day squarely and face first. Being able to hear and observe can save you from a load of trouble. Teach your children how to entertain themselves and help them prepare for change in their lives. Give them a span of time each day when they are expected to do so - reading books, playing games, planning a future event. Examine these cards in the Rider-Waite deck: 7 of Coins
3. Head in a different direction - Adopt the idea that everyday when you rise, everything has changed. That in the dark of night a little gnome has moved the one pawn you need moved in order to win. When everyone was asleep you gained ground. You can leave the gnome out if you want just know that your perception is limited unless you make an effort to take yourself out of it. So when you catch yourself being automatic, stop and head in a different direction. Get out of bed on the opposite side than you normally do. Use your mouse with your other hand. Choose the smaller grocery cart and make smarter choices. Try a different gas station. Examine these cards in the Rider-Waite deck: 5 of Coins reversed
The secret is to ground yourself in change and then change will never be ungrounded again. Make change an adventure.

At A Standstill? Blocked By The Boss? - Weekly Tarot Horoscopes
April 9 - April 15
The cards speak this week to an inordinate amount of feelings of being blinded or blocked in movement. Gauntlets and fine lines abound to be walked, danced, and rolled across. Here’s how I deal with situations like these.
Whether you are blocked or blinded you are generally feeling unable to move forward or in any direction you may think you need to go. Granted, someone may have decided they don’t want you to achieve movement and actually blocked you or it could be due to your own devices that you find yourself in a stand still. Truly it doesn’t matter which it is and here is why. Finding yourself at a standstill is an opportunity to stop and take a look around. (Warning: This may not work for race car drivers or anyone in the process of moving very fast. But you knew that, right?) Really, look around you, re-examine your situation and reformulate if you find you need to. If someone is blocking you then the ability to look around you can be used to your advantage – they actually have put you in the drivers seat. These are opportunities to regroup and get stronger if you choose to perceive them that way. Then again, maybe it’s all in your head. Perception is based on your own experiences and beliefs. Change those or re-arrange them and perceptions change.
All in all it’s a week of lists, traffic and delays. Find something to distract you or give yourself more downtime than usual. Keep your thoughts looking forward!
