Positive Premonition - All 5 Tarot Cards Point to Success!

I'm having goosebumps! 

The past 5 tarot card readings I did on different days basically say one important thing --- that I will succeed in whatever endeavor I take. Moreover, that I should let go of the past and move on to a new chapter of my life. I'm so excited about how all these signs will unfold that I'm having goosebumps as I tell you about it! 

So what are these cards that showed up on my readings? 

1. THE SUN

This is a major Arcana card and as such is a very big deal when it comes up on readings. The Sun means:

"Brilliant. Radiant. Sparkling...  When we turn on the light in our minds, we are enlightened. We see clearly and understand the truth. Both within and without, the energy of light expands our limits and makes us shine.

In readings, you will understand Card 19 if you imagine yourself to be a Sun God. How do you think and feel? You have total confidence in yourself. You are not cocky, but profoundly sure of your power. You have unlimited energy and glow with health. You have a greatness about you and stand out brilliantly. Finally, you see and understand all that is happening within your sphere. When you see this card, know that you will be successful at all you undertake. Now is the time to let your light shine."

What resonated to me the most is this --- WHEN YOU SEE THIS CARD, KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL AT ALL YOU UNDERTAKE. NOW IS THE TIME TO LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE. 

Warning: New Life Ahead

The "card of the day" I picked for my tarot reading is kind of hard to swallow and until now I'm still trying to understand and process what it really means. Add to that the fact that I had a dream wherein I woke up crying. Again, not a good sign.

Let me tackle it here one by one. Hopefully, by the end of this post, I would have already resolved this. And if you have a similar dream or a similar reading, I hope my insights here would be able to help you.

  



My card for the day: Four of Cups

That Which Does Not Kill Me Can Only Make Me Stronger

Being happy has always been one of my life's greatest pursuits. There are times when it's challenging and there are moments when it's as effortless as breathing fresh air. The past day or two though, it has come to my attention that a few individuals who I used to respect and look up to betrayed me in ways that I never imagined. It sent me to a roller coaster ride of painful emotions and my pursuit to happiness has once again been challenged. I got sick which I tried to not to nourish, I went about my usual tasks and even ran errands in another city as I mustered all the physical and emotional strength I can gather within me. Eventually, I gave in, fell into a momentary depression and slept it all away. 

Yesterday was the toughest day. I turned to my spirit guides and guardian angels for guidance through my tarot cards. I did my card reading for the day and I picked up The Magician. 

The Art of Letting Go by The Hanged Man

If you've read my recent post on my self-help blog entitled Be Proactive: 1st of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I was actually starting the process of letting go... letting go of someone I considered important, someone I looked up to, someone I admired because I just recently found out that all this time, she hasn't been true to me. It hurt... a lot. I cried so many tears for her, for the relationship I thought I've built with her only to witness it crumbling down to pieces, or actually, only to find out that the relationship never really existed in the first place because it has all just been ONE BIG LIE. 

Anyway, after days of crying buckets of tears  and before I even told my closest friends about it, I consulted with my Spirit Guides through my tarot cards. As usual, while meditating, I picked a card that will signify my Spirit Guides' advice for me and this was the card I picked - The Hanged Man. It still amazes me up to now, how apt the card I pick every single time. And not all or most cards can resonate with whatever it is the card picker is going through. So I know that this is indeed the right card for me.   

The Hanged Man is a Major Arcana card of the Tarot Card deck. Major Arcana cards are usually drawn when events of major importance are happening in one's life. True enough, what happened recently has a big impact on me and my current relationships, so it's just very fitting that I picked up this card. 

The Hanged Man is all about:

This is it! Even My Tarot Card Says So...

It's been a while since I last held my deck of tarot cards. I've been pretty much busy with my moving on process (Read related post here: 100 Happy Days Project - I'm Back!) that I forgot to seek guidance from my trusted spirit guides through my tarot cards. 

So today, after waking up at 4 am and playing in the kitchen to make an all-day pasta feast, I rested for a little while in the living room, propped myself up for meditation and saw my deck sitting on the wooden bench. I picked it up, opened the box and dealt the cards as I asked my spirit guides to let me know if I am somehow on the right track with my most current decisions (which is to find true love... see related post here: My Quest for Finding True Love Begins Now and to soon have a baby). 

I Am The Fool

I woke up late today. I am usually asleep at 9am and awake by 5pm. But because I had to run errands pertaining to life insurance, I got to sleep at 5pm and woke up before 11pm. I still did my usual routine. Like I said in my other blog post, Moving On and Starting a New Chapter, I am a routine kind of gal. So after doing all the chores around the house, I was watching one of my favorite movies of all time, Armageddon, when my eyes got diverted to my tarot cards just lying there on the wooden bench in the living room. I was pretty emotional again, feeling confused and sad. So I thought that might be a good time to take a breather, talk to my spirit guides and pick my tarot card for the day. And guess what I picked? THE FOOL. 

The Hanged Man - a Timely Tarot Card Reading

I posted last night on my personal facebook page that I've been wanting to reorganize my life and be able to do the things I am passionate about for my well-being and happiness. 

Here's what I shared:

Bonding with baboo Peter's best friend Peachie last night really gave me a lot of insight and inspiration as to how I should budget my time making sure that I not only spend it on work but on things that enrich my life too... like my passions. Peachie is an artist. She loooves to draw and paint and make beautiful things! And what I really like about her is that she gets to incorporate her art in her daily activities. As for me, I have so many things I want to do (like play with my drums, guitar and keyboard, draw, make beaded accessories, sew, paint, do yoga, meditate, play with my tarot cards, surf, windsurf, travel, read my books, blog, plant vegetables, make crafts, sing, dance, act, etc.) but I am at a loss as to which ones I should accomplish first.... or which one is really my ultimate passion. All I know is I have to earn my keep and keep our house spick and span. So most of my 24 hours on a weekday are spent on house chores and work. But this has to change. While I re-organize my life and discern my real passion, here's an article I read that can help people like me who want to get started on anything. I hope this helps you too. 

And with this, I say good night. Hoping to get back to a more normal body clock and more productive routine for health and fitness purposes. Sweet dreams, everyone! 

http://blog.jvf.com/2013/06/25/five-ways-to-get-started-on-anything/

And so today, I've once again started doing some of those passions of mine which includes being able to do my tarot card reading. I had a lot of questions and concerns which I hope my card for the day would be able to answer, or at least help enlighten my cluttered mind. I've just been out of a very long emotional rut (as evidenced by my lack of posts here for almost a year now); it's been almost a week since my hormones and moods have stabilized (and I am hoping it's for good); and it's been far too long since I last felt neutral and content.   I want to make full use of it by being productive with my everyday activities despite the fact that on the financial front, my hubby and I had been duped by one of our insurance companies and we are talking about a huge sum of money. But we are not letting that bring us down. So back to my tarot card reading, I had a lot of questions like: What do I do with my life? How do I go about fixing my priorities? Is it right to pursue my new dreams? Etc.

As I was talking to God and my spirit guides about it, meditating hard on these questions, I picked my card - The Hanged Man.

In terms of ACTIONS, The Hanged Man is all about:

letting go

having an emotional release

accepting what is

surrendering to experience

ending the struggle

being vulnerable and open

giving up control

accepting God's will

reversing

turning the world around

changing your mind

overturning old priorities

seeing from a new angle

upending the old order

doing an about-face

suspending action

pausing to reflect

feeling outside of time

taking time to just be

giving up urgency

living in the moment

waiting for the best opportunity

sacrificing

being a martyr

renouncing a claim

putting self-interest aside

going one step back to go two steps forward

giving up for a higher cause

putting others first

The Hanged Man is one of the most mysterious cards in the tarot deck. It is simple, but complex. It attracts, but also disturbs. It contradicts itself in countless ways. The Hanged Man is unsettling because it symbolizes the action of paradox in our lives. A paradox is something that appears contradictory, and yet is true. The Hanged Man presents to us certain truths, but they are hidden in their opposites.

The main lesson of the Hanged Man is that we "control" by letting go - we "win" by surrendering. The figure on Card 12 has made the ultimate surrender - to die on the cross of his own travails - yet he shines with the glory of divine understanding. He has sacrificed himself, but he emerges the victor. The Hanged Man also tells us that we can "move forward" by standing still. By suspending time, we can have all the time in the world. 

In readings, the Hanged Man reminds us that the best approach to a problem is not always the most obvious. When we most want to force our will on someone, that is when we should release. When we most want to have our own way, that is when we should sacrifice. When we most want to act, that is when we should wait. The irony is that by making these contradictory moves, we find what we are looking for. -The Hanged Man

It is so true that we control by letting go. Before, whenever I'd think about the big money that we lost or other troubles that seem so huge, my head would hurt and I would lose the will to wake up. It happened to my husband too. He'd have these panic attacks and terrible migraines I thought I'd need to bring him to the hospital! It's unhealthy and it's been controlling our emotions, our moods, our disposition in life. When I let it go and told my husband to just let it go, things got better emotionally and mentally. We're still in a financial rut but it seems more manageable now. We are both standing still and we are keeping our emotions in check so we can move forward from the situation. 

Furthermore, according to the Tarot Bible by Sarah Bartlett:

5 of Wands - Time to Choose

The moment I picked up this card from my reading, I knew I was in a bit of trouble. I've been feeling it for so long but I haven't got the conviction and the drive to really move forward with it. I was still enjoying all the other things I do on a daily basis, but if there's one thing that has been nagging me on and off for several years now, and most especially lately, it is all about making choices.

Time for Halloween - 6 of Cups

Gosh, it's been so long since I last posted here. Offline, I've been quite regular with my tarot readings, meditations as well as dream interpretations though and I think that's more important. I've also started getting more serious with Feng Shui and I'll be sharing some of my thoughts about it here soon. The rest of my time has been spent doing productive stuff at work and lately, preparing for Halloween, my favorite time of the year! In fact, not only have I been reminiscing past Halloween celebrations through my facebook page, but my hubby and I have also been decorating the house, not just for a small party we're having this weekend, but mostly because we want to feel and enjoy the season even when we're just at home, just the two of us, most of the time.

The most recent daily tarot card I drew, 6 OF CUPS agree with my sentiments.

My Juggling Act Was Written on the Card

The past two weeks of September have been the most interesting. I have been doing my tarot card readings and meditation regularly and the messages given to me by my spirit guides have been very right on the spot.

Last week, I started juggling a lot of work in order to increase our household income while my husband gets his business off the ground. I barely slept but I was happy and energetic enough to accomplish them all. Meditation gave me the energy, power and focus to achieve my goals, and I believe it helped that the daily cards I drew were really symbolical of what I was going through. All of the cards kept telling me that success is in my hands and that this is the time to be happy and abundant. And out of all those tarot cards telling me a variety of good news, there was one card I couldn't forget which really touched my core. This card further encouraged me to continue this path I took because it resonated with me the most... 2 of PENTACLES.

How to Use Everyday Tarot Spreads

I've been using tarot cards for several years now. I've used numerous spreads before, some more than others, depending on the current concerns that need to be addressed. On this particular post, I want to share with you how you can use the everyday spreads. Everyday spreads are different from relationship spreads, revelation spreads and destiny spreads,which I will discuss separately on subsequent posts.

Boracay Tarot Card Reading: Six of Swords

I haven't been writing here for a long while now because since March 25, I have been spending my summer vacation / soul searching journey on this beautiful island of Boracay. I'm on my 19th day today and this whole journey will end come April 26. But until then, I am here to relax, enjoy myself and try to look deeper into my heart and soul.

Prior to today, I was just doing beach stuff day in and day out. When I ran out of new things to do since I must've probably already done all the things one can do in Boracay, I thought, why not do this soul searching journey for real. But where to start? I am generally happy and content. I am typically grateful for all the blessings I'm continuously being showered with. So I went about my day and that's when it hit me and tears just started to fall.

You see, apart from past hurts, in the midst of all this, I have some recent, deep and painful secrets that I won't anymore divulge in here. This negativity has been affecting my happiness levels for quite a while now. Even when I focus on the good things in my life right now, they're like ghosts that just keep on coming back and haunting me. Then I remembered that I brought my tarot cards with me. I think it's about time that I should start formally communicating with my spirit guides and guardian angels once again.

The Ten of Wands are Stopping Me!

I was about to do my morning ritual (workout+ watch old DVD movie + play guitar + play drums + videoke + 1st meal of the day + shower then work) when I almost forgot to do a tarot reading. You see, last week, I let go of a VA job that I've been doing for a long time. I kept one part time VA job since I liked my tasks there and then I just went on investing in small ventures and mostly resting. Then at the start of this week, I got offered another VA job which sounded very exciting. I accepted it and since Tuesday, I was doing these 2 VA jobs. Then today, three more offers came in. Knowing myself, I've really been considering doing everything. If Justin Bieber never says never, well I seldom say no to an opportunity. So I replied to these offers and we're now in the process of negotiating further. Then I slept and after eight blissful hours of sleep, I woke up and did this tarot card reading.

When I read tarot cards for myself, I meditate first. I talk to God, to Mama Mary, to all the saints, to my spirit guides and guardian angels. It's like I'm just conversing with them. I tell them about my day, I thank them for all the magnificent blessings they're continuously showering my way, I ask for forgiveness for all my sins... basically I go into this trance-like state and talk to them. Towards the end of every meditation I do, I ask them to give me any message to help me live a better life each and every day so I may better myself and be a source of inspiration and service to other people. I tell them that through the card I'm about to draw, they can tell me their message.

Then I drew Ten of Wands.

Ten of Swords: I drew the card after I quit my job.

I have been thinking about quitting one of my more regular virtual assistant jobs since the start of this year. The flexible schedule, however, kept me from pulling the trigger since I was still enjoying it. Every time I'd do a tarot reading, I'd pick up similar cards that tell me the same thing --- to pursue other things where my heart really is. However, being the kind of person who will do so many things all at the same time, as long as she can do them, I normally won't say no to any opportunity. Then finally, the flexible schedule I was allowed was taken away from me. A part of me was considering going back to regular working hours but it didn't feel quite right. So after drafting two kinds of email replies, I sent the one that says I'm resigning.

The Cups in My Daily Tarot Reading

Unbeknownst to many, an overwhelming sense of sadness, disappointment and depression came over me last Monday and Tuesday. I won't describe the details anymore. Suffice it to say that I had bloodshot eyes and couldn't breathe properly during those 2 dramatic days and the negativity was brought about by resurfacing issues from my past. Thank God for my very patient and understanding hubby I was able to survive it. But really, I've had it! It was time to move on and I don't wanna be imprisoned by them anymore.

So I exercised, I ate right, I stopped myself from smoking (I'm on my 6th cigarette-free day now), I read my Happiness book, I watched Friends reruns and laughed my heart out until the laughter felt genuine and real. Wednesday night came and while Peter and I were hanging out at our lanai, a neighbor of ours dropped by, we had a chat, and I felt genuinely happy for his visit. Then I remembered the card I picked out that afternoon when I did my tarot reading: Eight of Cups


It was only until after I reflected on its meaning that I realized how apt the card was with my current situation.

Three of Cups: What My Spirit Guides are Telling Me

Even before I went crazy and psychotic yesterday, my spirit guides already knew the solution to my deep-seated problem. Aside from forgiving what happened to me in the past, the tarot card I drew was telling me that it's about time that I go out, be with friends and celebrate! This is actually something I've always dreaded during the Yuletide season and I guess now is the best time to just get it over with and for once have genuine fun celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

Me Against the World

I've been thinking about quitting my virtual assistant job on and off for some time now. Only this time, I'm not falling for it. Knowing me, I'm just bored right now with what I do, day in and day out, 50 hours a week. These feelings of boredom and negativity work-wise usually happen every year from November until about January when all I wanna do is vegetate, or vacay somewhere exotic, or watch my favorite DVD movies, or read all my unread books. If only I can afford it. Sigh. We got seven more years to go with the house mortgage and 2 more years with the car. Add to that our monthly credit card, utility, insurance and miscellaneous bills then it's easy to see why it would be a huge mistake to get carried away with the current flow of my emotions. Timing-wise, the answer is a clear and big NO. But oh God, my whole being is just screaming for FREEDOM! And if and when I finally do get my FREEDOM from online work, I just want to focus most of my energy (and neuroses) on my beaded accessories and my Sexy Nomad apparel biz. Double sigh. Sometimes, being a responsible adult sucks... big time!

So anyway, I consulted my Spirit Guides about it through my Tarot Card. I got a major arcana card, which just proves that what I'm dealing with right now is no simple matter. It's not as mundane as the usual answers I get from my usual requests (things like should I go to this & that event? ...should I wear these clothes? ..should I get out of the house? ...should I travel at this time? etc...). The card that I've drawn --- THE WORLD --- is actually telling me something a lot deeper and more important:

Seven of Pentacles

Each day, I set aside a few minutes of my time meditating and doing my daily tarot reading. Most of the time, it happens after I clean the house coz that's when I feel most at ease with my surroundings and my inner self.

For the past two weeks, I' have been in emotional turmoil (I won't anymore disclose the source of my misery) and I turn to God, my tarot cards, my spirit guides and guardian angels for help and guidance. They always tell me positive and great things like no matter what I do I would always be successful. I rarely get cards that tell me otherwise and that have been a source of constant relief.

Daily Tarot Reading - Justice

I consider my daily tarot card reading an important food for my soul. It is how I communicate with my Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels and so far, they have always been very helpful. I trust in the power of the proper use of Tarot cards that not a day goes by without me communing with the higher power.

Today, I got particularly excited with the card that I've drawn --- JUSTICE. It is a major arcana card, therefore, this one speaks of a major issue that I am having right now and not just the little things in my life that need attending to.

The Tarot Card Reading That Gave Me The Creeps

I've been doing my daily tarot card reading for quite a while now. It helps me center and focus my energies on the tasks I need to get done every single day. My daily tarot card reading is especially helpful when I feel burnt out, or over fatigued, or emotionally drained. Because it involves meditation and communing with my God, my Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels, the readings act as their way of communicating with me the things I need to learn, or know, or realize for that particular day. It is similar to how I do it when people ask me to do a reading for them. Depending on their situation, I choose an appropriate spread and let the Tarot cards convey to me their messages.

Last week, for two consecutive days, I got the same card for my daily reading - The Tower. This is the very first time this happened to me. I've never drawn the same card two days in a row before. What are the chances???! Could this mean that the message this card is telling me is a lot graver than it normally would? Possibly.
