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.

Nursing Scrubs: Lessons Learned from Color Meanings

As I was studying the meaning of colors and how it can influence our emotions, the actions that we do, how we respond to various people and situations, I thought about the colors of uniform in some of our service-oriented industries. Take for example the color of nursing scrubs nurses use in hospitals and clinics before and how their kind has evolved over time. Before, I used to remember only seeing one color of nursing scrubs and it was white, just like a doctor's medical coat. These days, I have seen blue, pink, green, purple nursing scrubs and this makes my visits to hospitals and clinics a lot better and literally colorful.

Supermoon Simply Irresistible Spell

Today, March 19, 2011, we'll be having a full moon. But aside from that, the full moon also occurs at the same time as the moon's perigee (the moon's closest point to our planet). Hence, it is termed as SUPERMOON which happens every 18 years. At the moon's perigee, there will only be a distance of 356,575km (221,575 miles) between the Earth and the moon. During the moon's apogee on March 6, the distance between the two was 406,583km (252,639 miles). So you can imagine why the moon will appear 14% bigger tonight! Let's hope the skies will be clear so we can cast a spell perfect for this occasion.

Many people are speculating that this Supermoon is the cause for Japan's quake and tsunami. However, NASA experts and astronomers are debunking these speculative theories. The most that it can do is bring extra low and high tides at certain locations. But it doesn't really pose any threat as devastating as what happened in Japan (God bless the Japanese race!).

Anyway, since the Supermoon is believed by witches to bring greater power to spells, I chose to share with you a spell about being irresistible. This can work as your lucky charm when you want to date someone, when you want to charm your boss or when you want to be irresistible to a certain person. Or you can do any full moon spells I have already shared in the past. It's up to you. It is my deep hope that this spell will help you out should you need it.

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.

Blue Moon Money Spell

Nov. 21, 2010 is a very special day because we have a blue moon tonight. We often hear or say the expression 'Once in a Blue Moon' to convey a rare and special event. This is because a Blue Moon does not happen very often. The last time we had it was on Dec. 31, 2009 when I made another Blue Moon Spell.

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:

Happy Halloween 2010

Despite the fact that I had so much work to do last weekend (I got 30 hours of backlog work to finish, plus house chores and errands), I still managed to celebrate my favorite time of the year --- Halloween! Good thing that the house was all ready for some freaky action.
