There is a new tarot video up @ my YouTube channel, it runs about 20 minutes, and it’s filed in the “Desert Readings” playlist because it’s an early morning (or in this case late night) reading that’s done Off-Camera. You’ll love the candles though. I reveled in the darkened room and dancing light. Enjoy the reading, and I hope you make a tarot connection…

Pink Orchid Publishing… is me!
I’ve been asked frequently about this company, which is listed on the copyright page of four of my books, along with Amazon. I’ve published four of my own books through Amazon and their KDP system so far, and I love it. I love being in control, I love editing the manuscript and deciding how I want it set up and how I want it to look, I love choosing the type of paper, styles, etc., and I love doing my own cover design. I went all out on my last book… full color, premium paper, heavily illustrated — a lot of my own photographs, as well as public domain images.
My other five books are published through traditional publishing companies, and I greatly (greatly!) appreciate the talented editors, artists, and publicists and all the work they have done. I’m proud of the connection I have with these amazing people and these companies, and I’m proud of the books that have come out of this joint effort.
As far as Pink Orchid Publishing goes, at this time, I am only publishing my own work. If I were younger and had more energy, I probably would take on other authors and projects, but not right now. I whimsically asked my daughter, “I think I created a publishing company?” and she said, “I do believe you did.”
The four books I published with Amazon are once more available in both Print and Kindle, follow the link: click HERE
Since I’m over 13,000 words and 69 pages into a project, I suppose it would be a good time to announce that there is a new book in the works. And because I still haven’t decided how I’m going to publish this book, whether with Amazon’s KDP program, or with a standard publishing company, I should call the title and cover a “working title and cover”. The book… “The Divine Me, Embracing Your Inner Goddess”. There are portions of this book that are highly personal, but then, getting to know and embrace the goddess within means getting to know and embrace yourself and everything that goes with you. I’m using myself as an example. So, beware world.
Someone coming to a full stop because they’re stubborn and unwilling to compromise.
Someone who’s getting tired of waiting for them to come around.
They may have been working on this issue for a long time, may also be work related.
A time out, whether wanted, or asked for, or not.
Still stubborn, hanging onto their opinion, not budging
Something has come to a screeching halt, whether this is progress in a personal relationship, or plans for a future goal, work ambitions, travel plans, or something else that you had your heart set on and were excited about. Everything just stopped. It feels kind of deflating, actually, like there was this big adrenalin rush — excited and happy energy — and then, boom, like someone pulled the plug.
Why?
Because this relationship, or these plans, involve a person who is extremely stubborn, bull-headed, and completely unwilling to compromise. They don’t seem to want to budge an inch. They’ve drawn a line in the sand and it looks like they’ll fight to the death for the principle of the thing, for what they think is right — though it feels an awful lot like someone has their priorities all messed up here. Honestly, idiot, you feel like you just want to smack them (Spirit’s words, not mine).
And you — whom this reading is really for — are getting so tired of waiting for this stubborn person to come around. You might be waiting for a very long time, even an indefinite period of time, Spirit warns. You have to ask yourself how long you’re willing to wait for a compromise, and would the wait really be worth it, even if this person eventually comes around to a positive point of view — whenever that might be.
This is an issue that’s been on the table, in the work’s, for a very long time. And it’s very possible for some of you reading this that this is work related, just to give you a heads up, in case you might want to consider moving on to something new.
There is a definite time-out coming to this situation, whether it’s wanted or not. There is the feeling that something might be time sensitive here, or that you might just plain run out of energy to deal with it, or the whole idea gets to the point where it just dissipates, like fog when the sun comes out. And you know what, just like the day changes when the fog lifts and the sun shines, your life might change that way too, get all sunny and promising again, if you let this issue die and move on to something more constructive, more promising.
Think about it. I don’t see this person letting their guard down long enough to listen to anyone else’s opinion, or to look at this from a new perspective, anytime soon. They feel pretty set in their ways. It’s your time too, how long are you willing to wait?

Someone has a desire, a wish, that is at the heart of all they do and think about and probably plan for. The thing is, they might be sabotaging themselves, foiling their own plans and future. How?…”Why” might be kind of interesting here as well.
From here on out, I’m going to speak directly to the person this reading is intended for, so I’ll be using the pronouns that point in that direction. If this is NOT a reading that is connecting with you, disregard the personal pronouns, but think about the people you know and if this reading could pertain to one of them.
You aren’t going to be going anywhere, or getting nowhere, either or both. You will be feeling the frustration over your lack of progress, and the reason for this lack of progress may be the fact that you’re trying to keep someone in the dark. This gives the impression of a person working toward a goal, but keeping it a secret, or at least secret from certain people.
The energy is filled with the idea that you’re hiding something from someone.
This makes for a very tense atmosphere, because keeping secrets or ulterior motives unrecognized takes a lot of energy. You always have to be on your guard so you don’t slip up. This may also be giving you what appears to others as a very defensive attitude. (There’s part of you that must realize this defensiveness is a childlike response to doing something you know you shouldn’t be doing, or doing something that you’re pretty sure most of the people in your life would disapprove of… This is called a “conscience”, by the way, but it’s masquerading for now as defensiveness.)
The phrase “wish upon a star” came to my mind. But it lacked the whimsical fairy tale energy usually associated with it. Instead came the idea that something will need to be sacrificed if you want to get what it is you desire. My first response was a shudder: what are you willing to sacrifice? who or what will it hurt, if anyone? and what will the lasting ramifications have on you?
There is a saving grace to this scenario and this reading.
This saving grace is an individual. It’s represented by the Queen of pentacles, and my first impression is a female, of course. She’s quiet and wise. She’s nurturing and grounded and exudes a certain calmness. She also doesn’t suffer fools and will be the first to tell someone if they’re doing something that is not a good idea. Okay, I’m mincing words… she will not hesitate to tell you when you’re being stupid, and she doesn’t care what kind of response you give her, she’ll tell you anyway.
She’s your saving grace.
You can be upset with her for being honest and somewhat blunt, but don’t dismiss what she says. If you do, you won’t get anywhere (the reversed chariot); and you’ll find yourself trying in vain to explain yourself (7 of wands); and you’ll discover that there is someone who can uncover your secret or figure out your motives after all (the reversed High Priestess).
This Queen is your saving grace, know that and respect it, because the universe is not giving you a second chance here.
Yesterday I laid a group of cards and got the frame work for their story, you’ll find that here, in this blog post:
These Cards Need Time to Flesh Out Their Story
The story continues to unfold:
There’s someone who’s been very focused on a specific very complex and involved goal, so much so that they sort of have tunnel vision about it, this goal possibly centers around education and work. They know that they need this kind of focus and dedication to make this happen and reach this new plateau.
What’s happened, or about to happen in their life, is totally unplanned, it’s not something they intended to happen or even thought about at this point in time. This is just something that the universe sort of drops on them unexpectedly, something totally out of the blue. (Cupid does that, you know, you have no intention of meeting anyone, or falling in love, or becoming involved, and then — bang — there you are).
There’s still the idea of something happening very fast, accelerated energy all around, a whirlwind still; and this time the cards are telling me that this is all driven by passion, and someone speaking their truth, either to someone else, or to themselves, or to both. It’s an “aha” moment of clarity and realization.
And this does indeed change everything. The future is spinning, realigning itself; there is a change of plans.
There’s still lots of decisions to be made, but the cards are telling me that they’re no longer being made for one person by one person. These plans involve two people now. Groundwork is being laid for the future.
I just laid these cards very early this morning, when I was finished watering the flowers, and I was hot and sweaty from being outside in this dark, barely light, overcast, 90+ degree morning. And here they are. As I turned each one, I spoke its message out loud, doing my “scratchings” in my notebook, as I usually do, so the story already has a frame.
Today I’ll give you a picture of the cards and the “outline” of their story, those first words that came to me with each card. Then I’ll let the cards lay, as along as it takes, so they can tell their story, so they can give us a more complete picture.
8/pentacles: someone at work
The Fool: the beginning of something new
Ace/cups: a relationship
Knight/swords: happens fast, a whirlwind
Wheel of Fortune: changes everything
7/cups: a lot of decisions to make
I can’t wait to hear more of the story. If this resonates with you, keep thinking about it, the universe (and spirit) will connect the dots, just like magic, works every time.

My Notes & Scratchings (automatic writing):
Someone “at the top” or “behind the scenes”.
One part of a couple attempting to move on from a relationship, the other partner trying to hold them back.
Causing a fiasco, or directing a fiasco.
It upended something previously stable.
He’s good at manifesting what he wants/He’s good at making you believe he can manifest what YOU want.
Either feeling no sense of responsibility, or avoiding or passing off responsibility.
Contact and interaction with him will lead to huge and unexpected changes in your life.
Someone is working so hard to manifest change, and someone else is trying so hard to hold them back.
This is the tale of a couple, most likely a married couple that is no more. The cards don’t tell me specifically about their life together, because that’s no longer the point. What’s past is water under the bridge. The point is the here and now, the point is their separation, or their divorce, and the energy and interactions that are happening as we speak.
One party is calmly trying to pick up the pieces and move on constructively, in anticipation of building a new life with new beginnings and new opportunities. There is a hopeful feeling of looking to the future, an excitement about new things “right around the corner”. This individual is infused with the bright energy of “happiness in the face of great change”. The ultimate optimist.
The other party to this couple is seething, angry, steeped in jealousy, regret, the loss of control. This person is not looking to the future but is stuck in the past, thinking over all the “what if’s”, seeking vainly for answers and miracles that could fix what’s broken, looking for ways to keep their former partner in a state of limbo. And in this energy, this person feels they can keep the future at bay. They seriously believe this. It feels so dark, so dark that it goes beyond the idea of a pessimist.
To the optimist: detach completely from your former partner, their connection is poisonous and will only prevent you from rebuilding your life and finding new happiness. Focus on YOU. Focus on your plans and goals and dreams, and make practical preparations to carry you through to all these things. It’s okay for you to be happy. It’s okay for you to feel positive about your future, as you should. Leave all negativity behind and follow the sunshine… you deserve it.
To the King of Pentacles: seek therapy. You need to talk to someone. You need to talk to someone to regain a healthy focus on your life and the situation that you’re in now. You need to talk to someone who can help you work through all these negative feelings that will hold you back and prevent you from building a new and healthy life for yourself. You need to talk to someone who can teach you how to get in touch with positive energy. You need to leave the darkness behind… and you need to leave your former partner alone.
