Becoming the Real

A Tomb in a Church

Becoming the Real – Book 10 – Day1  – June 7.  Tarot Moment by Moment.. I’m choosing the cards “intuitively” – I see the card that I FEEL most reflects my activities and feelings. :-)) April – May – a GLORIOUS time of honors, clarity and completion! Even the good things are DRAINING – at…

One Eye Opened

Day 2 – June 8 – Becoming the Real – Book 10 The Knight opened one eye just long enough to look around at things to be “processed” and things to be done.  Tried to take stock of her situation. Felt sort of like the book described it. “… waiting to choose something at the…

Thanks, but no thanks.

Tarot Life Book 10 – Day 3 – Minute by Minute Tarot. The chirping of birds woke the Knight up. The sun was blazing – it wasn’t that early. Heaved one heavy leg out of bed – still in a haze. What about a nice evening outside in the sun next to the lake? Asked…

The Cavalry Charge!

TL Book 10 – Day 4- Tarot Minute by Minute! The Knight wrestled herself out of her deep sleep. “taming nature, tug-of-war”… Duty calls!

Howling at the Moon!

Tarot Life Book 10 – Day 5 – Tarot Minute by Minute. She shed her armor and woke up howling at the moon! The Knight was a raving LUNATIC! “madness, genius, mysterious moment, dreaming..” EYES INFECTED. She couldn’t (or didn’t want to?) see. “frustration, getting lost, a bad hangover, in two minds, a writer’s block”…

The Day the Fog Got Cut!

TL Book 10 – Day 6 – Moment by Moment with the Tarot. Felt like I’d mentally cut through previous day’s FOG. FINALLY the Knight woke up? “A sword, knife, letter-opener or other bladed object.” Decided not to reciprocate the kindness of yesterday. – Instead of “returning the favor” – Karma – better to turn…

This Time You Have to

TL BOOK 10 – DAY 7: A sense of “obligation” loomed in the morning. A friend’s birthday party – HAVE TO GO because that’s what being a friend means. Honoring commitments! Obligation brings a question: What should be done in order to fulfill what we think is expected of us?  And so the juggling began.…

The Knight Plays Hooky

AAAAH! Deep breath and “absent from school without a note”!  Shed the armor and felt so FREE! Book says: “mountain climber, shoulder bag, dog, puppy.” LOL! I guess a mountain climber would feel FREE at the top! Re-connected with a friend for a LONG BREAKFAST at a quaint, intimate cafe! Wonderful energy – kindred spirits…

Sun in Gemini-Moon in Cancer

Today the Moon is in Cancer. The energy feels so much SOFTER now! My mood is sort of Joni and love this song anyway! A Little Green The NEW MOON sailed in yesterday bringing me a peaceful heart and OPTIMISM for the future.  Am focused on starting new projects – or at least laying down…

Dreaming, Cleaning, Teaching and Coin.

TL Book 10 – Day 9: A sad dream I couldn’t remember left me sad when I woke up. Who knows? “Dreaming, sleeping” Decided to focus on the positive. “A mourning figure.” Cleaning house is always therapeutic – making my kingdom beautiful. “garden party, gazebo, bandstand.” Had a lovely individual session with a student. “teacher.”…

Sun in Gemini-Moon in Leo

The SUN is still in Gemini lighting up our options while the NEW MOON moved into LEO!  A GLORIOUS cosmic chance to (re)-discover our hidden strengths and commit to plans and goals so dear to our hearts. The Moon lights up and builds our self-confidence as we connect with others in a more personal and…

Looking out – Looking in.

TL Book 10 – Day 10. Feeling quite balanced after a good night’s rest! “Controlling ones temper, walking on a tightrope, spirit level..” Answered two rather annoying e-mails. “being interrupted..” Spoke to a dear friend to make arrangements for her trip (visit). “walking stick, young person setting off on a journey.” Noticed a team of…

Lighten the Load

TL Book 10 – Day 11… Searching for the Cascade card. Not sure what this is – YET – but I trust the SEARCH and the UNIVERSE! LOL! Woke up with the “LET’S GET THIS DONE” flame! (WOO- HOO)! Lightened the emotional “to-do” list by planning for courses AND organizing my Tarot Life notes and…

Sun in Gemini – Moon in Virgo

The Moon in Virgo brings the Hermit’s energy. He shines his light on concrete aspects of our lives so that we can review how well our daily practices, systems and routines are functioning. He asks “What serves you and what does not? ” and calls us to be practical, systematic and methodical as we “CLEAN…

I Remember

Tuesday?

TL Book 10 – Day 13. For some reason my least favorite day.  Have never understood the purpose of this day – although I am grateful for it!  LOL! A real push-pull, let’s juggle day! Resisted my internal urge to put off completing the to-do list. (Strength). “Boiling an egg, dog training, taming nature to…

Sun in Gemini-Moon in Libra

Behind the Beautiful Forevers is a work by Pulitzer Prize winner, Katherine Boo. It chronicles her 4 year journey into the lives and hopes of slum-dwellers in Mumbai. The book is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Behind my own forevers.. Why would this come to me personally during this strong lunar transit? First, the moon is in Libra…

What the Hell?

TL Book 10 Day 14.  Lights, camera, ACTION!  The High Priestess energy is very strong for all of us these days. Woke up feeling polluted – time to move the spiritual bowels. So many troubling thoughts – mainly about how to get money to pay off health insurance. Wondering if my “poverty” is somehow karmic…
