"The common man in the United States is enslaved by debt, manipulated by media, and intoxicated by quanity. Sadly, American has become a corporation based on profit. The people of America are no longer citizens, they are employees. "Many are beginning to wake up and are working to change this. In time change must occur." Archangel

A Special Tarot Reading Once again my spirit guides inspired me to move in a different direction. They've been gently poking at me for several weeks now to do a Tarot reading for this newsletter. Okay. I'm listening and heeding the message! With any Tarot reading there must be a focus. So it is with this one. Sometimes the focus is called The Question, The Issue, or The Challenge. Whatever it's called, for this reading it's about living in harmony with the other beings around us. Not just with other people but with the animal, plant, and mineral realms... and the planet herself. For this reading I'm using one of my newest decks, The Tarot of Dreams by Ciro Marchetti. The positions for the cards from left to right are The Past, The Challenge, The Outcome.
The
Past This card is lush and green with tall trees and billowing clouds in a blue sky. The Queen is holding a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers and is dressed in elegant a rich green gown with much expensive-looking green jewelry. But all is not well, indicated by the reversed position of the card. At closer inspection we see that the clouds are gray and look like they may portend a storm. The sky is not a happy light blue, but an unhappy dark, blue-gray Darkness lurks, boding unhappiness in the world. The queen has a serious look on her face and seems lost in her own thoughts. She's looking away, as if she doesn't want to face what's in front of her. She clasps the bouquet of flowers close to her, at the same time protecting her Solar Plexus chakra - the center of Personal Will and Power. The sign of Sagittarius is over her head, representing a searching for the truth. This gives us a clue about the subject of the Queen's thoughts. She's pondering on how to discern the truth about the condition of her world. Since she's looking to the left, which is the direction of the past, we know that she's searching in her mind for what went wrong in the past to create the problems in the present. Did the focus on making money influence the issues that she now faces? If so, how? The Challenge In the position of the Challenge, which also represents the Present, we have the nine of Cups. The suit of Cups represents the element of water and the world of human emotion. Nine is the number of completion, of sharing the wisdom we've gleaned through our experiences for the benefit of ourselves and others. This card is rich with the natural plenty of our world. Fruits pour out of a golden cornucopia and nine full wine glasses surround the man, who is obviously delighted at having so much abundance in his life. Note that the riches in his world are not based on money, but on the vast bounty that nature provides. The basis of true happiness, then, is not money but all that which our natural world provides for us. The man wears a wreath of leaves to honor the true source of his happiness... the abundance of nature. The Challenge, then, is this: What have we learned from our experiences? How do we use this knowledge to create a world of natural abundance - pure water, clean air, unadulterated food - so that we may live happy, abundant lives? The Outcome In the position of the Outcome is the six of Swords. The suit of Swords represents the element of Air and the realm of thought. A masked and hooded man stands in a boat which glides over water that appears oily. His mask represents a facade, a whitewashed image that he presents to the world. Over his heart he wears a pendant of that which is dearest to him - gold. Behind him is a gilded archway, and beyond that in the distance we can see a shadowy forest. The sky is dark and gloomy with black clouds looming. A light shines behind him, looking like moonglow and indicating that his journey is by the cover of night. He comes from a world of darkness and shadows, a world in which it's easy to hide the truth. The gilded archway is another fallacy. Its gleaming gold is inviting as a representation of wealth, but in truth it leads to a world of darkness. Although he holds high a lamp, it's held close to him and can be used only for his own purpose. It's not held out to share with others for their enlightenment. Swords bedeck the front of the boat, sending a warning of his willingness to do battle with anyone who tries to impede his progress toward his goal. This card gives us the secret to winning the battle for a healthy world. Lies and deceit can only live in the dark. When you hold up your own bright light and shine it in dark corners, the lies shrivel and disappear, leaving only the truth. Those who would abuse our world for their own financial gain can only continue if they're allowed to remain hiding behind their masks, working in the cover of darkness. The reversed position of this card shows that the influence of this card is not as powerful as it could be, were it upright. If you look closely at the water in front of the boat you'll see that it's reflecting light. That light is coming from each of you who take action in caring for your world... and who care for all the other beings who share it with you. As you continue to shine your light, you diminish the darkness, disallowing those who would damage our world for their own gain to operate. Love, ps. Remember that a reading from any oracle, including a Tarot reading, is actually a reading of the energy at the time of the reading. Because of the Law of Free Will on this planet, the future outcome can be changed. It's up to you. pps. By the way, did you know that Arco and AM/PM Minimarts are owned by BP? Is it really worth it to save $3 on a tank of gas if by doing so you're also supporting the company who is making billions from polluting our oceans? Intuitive Tarot: The Online Course

It combats lung infections, decongests sinus passages, and relieve allergy symptoms. It's a wonderful blend to diffuse during winter. I put a couple of drops on my pillow so I'm enjoying the benefits of this oil while I sleep. When I wake up my sinuses are clear and I'm breathing more easy. Additional suggestions of how to use it:
After applying the oil, rub your hands together briskly to spread the oil on the palms of your hands and to warm it. Then cup your hands over your nose and take three to five deep breaths, bringing the molecules deep into your body.

If
a friend forwarded The Journal
of Spirited Coaching to you, 
During
the years I've been teaching Tarot classes I've received requests
for an online Tarot class from people who live far, far away. I
was stymied as to how I could teach something as interactive as
reading the Tarot without the student being right in front of me.
