PODCAST, Requested ~ The 12th House: Sorrows, Secrets & Self-Destructive Tendencies

Cool beans! Someone connected with one of the handwritten tarot readings I posted here at The Tarot Parlour’s FB page yesterday, reading #12, for the 12th house of the zodiac — Sorrows, Secrets & Self-Destructive Behavior. Here you go…

Here’s a link to the original FB post…

MY HAPPY PLACE ~ Coffee Chat

Just a friendly announcement & coffee chat. From now on, the only place you can be assured of viewing my YouTube videos is on YouTube… I may still post them to my blogs: Every Cat Has a Tale & Magickal Connections, as well as my websites: The Tarot Parlour & The Witch’s Corner. I will, however, no longer be posting them to social site

Stuck in the Middle ~ Ace of Wands

The person caught in the middle has a robust enthusiasm and passion for life, and this may be one of the things that explains why they are “stuck in the middle”.  Their passion and enthusiasm are often accompanied by rash impulsive action, and this is so often not a good thing.  Not enough forethought is put into results and consequences.

On one side is a history of negative patterns, obsessions even; and on the other side is all the mental and emotional fallout that has resulted over a period of time due to these destructive patterns, not only to this character, but to the people his actions touch as well.

As you can see, this has not dulled this character’s enthusiasm one iota, they still plummet through life scooping up and embracing whatever they view as a spectacular opportunity.  My advice to this character would be to slow down and think before making decisions, or taking action.  But you know, this Ace of wands is not going to take this advice, it’s not in their nature.

If this is someone you know, the most you can do is be there to support them when life and karma catches up to them and the predictable outcome falls upon them.  If this is you, I hope you have a good support system.

Zodiac Tarot Insights ~ sun, moon, rising

Aquarius ~

2/swords; 4/cups; 6/wands

Some of you might have made a decision that’s left you with unexpected fallout you don’t want to deal with.  The universe and spirit say — deal with it.  The sooner you do, the sooner you will bounce back to your old and regal self.

Pisces ~

10/wands, reversed; Knight/wands; 7/swords, reversed

Sometimes your spontaneous and impulsive decisions are just part of your charm, but then again, those decisions have led to unexpected burdens and disappointments.  The actions that you have spontaneously taken may have you lying to yourself at this point.  Do you see a pattern?

Aries ~

8/cups; Temperance, reversed; Page/cups

You may have left a situation or relationship on a rash whim, and in doing so you’ve sent your life and probably other lives into a conundrum of imbalance and uncertainty.  Is it too late to apologize and go back to square one?  Only you know the answer to this question.

Taurus ~

King/wands; 5/wands; The Magician, reversed

Your naturally stubborn nature has you holding out in the midst of a disagreement.  All this is going to do is spread chaos and hurt feelings.  It’s also going to put you on the defensive and lead to a weaker position in the grand scheme of things.

Gemini ~

Justice; Ace/pentacles; The Hanged Man

An unexpected open-handed offer is going to put you in an awkward position.  For one thing, is it above board and legal?  And why do you feel that your hands are tied and you have to accept this offer?  Think again, Gemini — think, you’re an old dog with new tricks.

Cancer ~

Queen/wands; The Star; The Moon

Oh, what a tangled web we weave.  There’s deception that is going to tarnish an otherwise pristine and especially glowing opportunity.  The universe is telling you to take control of the situation now, before things get out of hand.

Leo ~

4/pentacles; 2/cups, reversed; 9/swords, reversed

Hang onto your material possessions and your good common sense.  There’s a relationship that has taken an unexpected turn and may leave you in a state of anxiety right now.  The universe says hang onto your hat, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Virgo ~

2/pentacles, reversed; 2/swords, reversed; The Devil

Identify your weakness, which will allow you to make an important decision, that will put balance and stability back in your life.  The phrase “chasing your demons” popped into my head, but instead of chasing them down to feed them, you have chased them down to obliterate them.

Libra ~

8/cups; King/wands, reversed; 8/swords, reversed

Beware someone coming back into your life, someone who used to wield a lot of power and control back in the day.  You had to escape this influence once, you don’t want to have to do this again.  You’re smarter than that.

Scorpio ~

9/swords, reversed; 3/cups; 10/wands

The fallout from an outwardly appearing happy go lucky let’s-all-be-friends period, is a boat load of anxiety (maybe laced with a little depression), and the heavy unexpected feeling of burdens.  Someone had to pay the piper for days of gleeful irresponsible behavior.

Sagittarius ~ 

Knight/swords, reversed; 8/pentacles; 3/pentacles

The work place is highlighted, and beware a destructive impulsive personality there, someone who has the capability of upsetting life’s equilibrium and stability.  Plan on expanding your gifts and aspirations, and don’t be afraid to roll your sleeves up for some heavy duty work (figuratively and literally).

Capricorn ~

Queen/pentacles, reversed; Queen/cups, reversed; The Tower

There are two personalities who are headed for a show-down, which will lead to the ultimate tower moment and a great transformation in life.  If you are one of these queens, make sure that you are prepared for the changes to come before you act.  Once decisions are put into action, there will be no turning back.

Book Prices Will Be Going UP! ~ Best order now

Heads up!! I received an email from the Amazon KDP program (Kindle Direct Publishing) that coming June 20th the cost of printing is going to go up and authors are advised to adjust the prices on their paperback books to insure that they receive a royalty. If there’s any of my books that you were planning on ordering, now’s the time to do it. June 1st I’ll be going into the Amazon program to adjust book prices accordingly.

PODCAST, Requested ~ You Don’t See the Struggles Behind Her Success

You were very intuitive to sense another energy behind the intoxicating energy of success.  What this 9 of cups doesn’t show you is the struggles she had to go through to get where she is today.  Applaud her success, and be inspired by her strength.

 Short n’ Sweet Readings ~ The scenarios: 

 1) King/cups ~ this King is awash in a very unique personal experience, and this king is way over his head… can you feel his growing sense of panic? 

 2) 7/cups (reversed) ~ if you thought coming to a decision was difficult, just wait until the truth is exposed, and how do you make a decision now? 

 3) 8/pentacles (reversed) ~ you’re having a difficult time deciding if a career change is necessary right now, you have a lot invested in where you’re at. 

 4) 9/cups ~ so, this is the card of the successful individual, the person that has reached their goals… the thing is, exactly how did this person get to this point? Something seems a little suspicious. 

 5) The Lady (Empress) ~ someone is expecting, but they do not have all the usual emotions about this situation, this is not necessarily a happy turn of events for them, it’s complicated. 

 6) 6/cups ~ You are deeply concerned about someone from your past… are they okay? Do they need help? At this time you’re experiencing a great deal of anxiety about this, it’s in your head, on your mind… Should I contact them? Should I not contact them?

PODCAST, Short n’ Sweet ~ 6 Scenarios, is your story here?

Today’s scenarios: 

1) King/cups ~ this King is awash in a very unique personal experience, and this king is way over his head… can you feel his growing sense of panic? 

2) 7/cups (reversed) ~ if you thought coming to a decision was difficult, just wait until the truth is exposed, and how do you make a decision now? 

3) 8/pentacles (reversed) ~ you’re having a difficult time deciding if a career change is necessary right now, you have a lot invested in where you’re at. 

4) 9/cups ~ so, this is the card of the successful individual, the person that has reached their goals… the thing is, exactly how did this person get to this point? Something seems a little suspicious. 

5) The Lady (Empress) ~ someone is expecting, but they do not have all the usual emotions about this situation, this is not necessarily a happy turn of events for them, it’s complicated. 

6) 6/cups ~ You are deeply concerned about someone from your past… are they okay? Do they need help? At this time you’re experiencing a great deal of anxiety about this, it’s in your head, on your mind… Should I contact them? Should I not contact them?

PODCAST, Requested ~ The Feud… and the No Show

The requested scenario here involved a feud or competition between two characters that were represented in a short n’ sweet scenario as the Knight of wands and the Knight of cups. I wanted to lay these two cards out as significators for this reading, but I never did find the Knight of Wands. He’s here with this deck, somewhere, I know that, because I saw him earlier this morning. Is the character in this reading also a “no show”?

PODCAST, Requested ~ Sometimes Friendships Have an Expiration Date

This was a requested reading for the Wheel of Fortune and scenario #2. I so wish I could’ve given you more answers, more comfort, or a sense of closure for the loss of a friendship, but instead, this reading seemed to ask more questions. In the end, the sad fact is that some friendships come with expiration dates, just like romantic relationships, not all friendships are meant to last forever. I hope you’re able to heal and move on from this experience eventually, there’s other people out there for you to meet and cultivate new friendships with, and maybe that’s why Spirit led you here.

PODCAST, Short n’ Sweet ~ 3 Scenarios, including being excluded & is this relationship salvageable

Today’s scenarios: 

1) Wheel of Fortune (reversed)

scenario 1: someone is interacting with the judicial system and you feel very alone at this time, very vulnerable. 

scenario 2: someone got thrown out of a group, excluded for very unfair reasons. 

2) Princess/pentacles 

A younger individual is tasting new-found freedom and independence, and there’s someone close to you who is profoundly affected by this. 

3) The World (reversed)/knight of wands, reversed & knight of swords

There is a feud or competition between these two knights that is escalating. Is it too late to salvage the relationship?
