This is a tarot spread formation I found on the internet which looked interesting. It is a “current frequency/energy” three card reading. The card positions are defined as follows:

1. My current frequency (energy I’m emitting) – Strength
2. What I’m currently attracting with my energy – The High Priestess
3. How I can attract more positivity and abundance – Death
4. Bottom of the deck – Eight of Cups

If these images resonate with you, read on:

The first card is Strength (card position: my current frequency – the energy I’m emitting). This card is about inner strength. Personal strength, being strong without domineering. “In one’s quiet power” so to speak. Confidence without ego. As you can see in this card, the woman is taming the lion with her bare hands. This is through her quiet strength, confidence, positive connection and love. This can indicate a message to someone that they are stronger and more talented than what they think they are or that others see them in this light.

The second card is The High Priestess (card position: what I’m currently attracting with my energy): The High Priestess is sitting in front of the veil which divides the physical and hidden worlds. She embodies the “dark” feminine side of magick and spirituality. Psychic abilities, intuition, the mysteries of life, the occult. Let your intuition guide you as there is hidden knowledge behind the veil. There is more than what you see. I get the message from The High Priestess in this reading that she is encouraging you to keep going, keep learning, there’s more.

This is a mysterious card for this position. So what are you attracting? The High Priestess does not reveal her secrets so easily. But something is definitely in the works behind that veil. You may be experiencing synchronicities (such as being in the right place at the right time), or notice repeating numbers, and/or symbols in the form of animals, birds, nature, words, images, etc. More will be revealed to you when the time is right. I have a feeling that the person who resonates with reading already has a pretty good idea. Pay attention to the signs. Trust the messages you receive. You will know.

The third card is Death (card position: how can I attract more positivity and abundance). The Death card in this reading is a good sign, as it indicates transformation by way of letting go of the past. With Death, comes rebirth. In this position with the other two cards, the message I received here is you are acknowledging your inner strength. You have changed from the person you once were. Smart, confident and talented, you have always had this in you, but now you are actively incorporating these positive aspects of yourself into your conscious awareness. A new you has emerged. In the past, insecurities and doubt may have prevented you from shining your light. But now, this new you is inspired to take on new challenges and opportunities. This is what will attract the positivity and abundance that you seek.

The Eight of Cups at the bottom of the deck (the underlying message of the reading) confirms the above. In this card the eight cups are standing up, so things are okay where they are. But the character in the card is walking away. Something has changed. The status quo no longer fulfills his needs. He leaves the cups behind and is off to pursue a new adventure.

So today, the cards that appeared are the three of wands with the King of Wands at the bottom of the deck. The three of wands carries the message in this reading, of the creation of something new. The wands are fire energy. Fire is an element in the formula of creation. The wands in the tarot denote action, creative fire, transmutation (e.g., the phoenix), motivation, purpose, inner drive and spirituality, the inner “spark”, purpose.

Take note of the character in the three of wands. This is a single person on this card. The message here is inner fire, inner motivation, inner growth. Coming into one’s personal power. The acceptance of one’s unique gifts and as such gaining the confidence and motivation to express it.

In one aspect, The King of Wands looking at the three of wands here reminds me of the higher self looking at the lower self. Providing encouragement and strength for the three of wands. The King of Wands is the “mature” aspect of the wands suit. He knows how to channel the creative fire of the wands to use it for the highest good of himself and his kingdom. He uses this fire to inspire and encourage others.

I also see the King here as a wise elder, observing the student. Will he take the first step? Or will the student allow fear to prevent him from moving forward to the four of wands, which is the physical manifestation of the inspiration.

The King looks a bit impatient here. With his wand “staff” in hand, his expression says “move”! He looks as if he is about to rise up from his throne and give that three of wands a push!

The message here is to stop dreaming. You have internalized your dreams long enough. Create and move forward with your vision. Transmute that fear and doubt that has been holding you back. Take that first step!

Both of these cards are masculine. Masculine wands are a message of action, strength, fire, movement, confidence, conscious action – in other words making things happen.

The King of Wands is not a “touchy feely” energy. He doesn’t take “no” for an answer, and he will not listen to excuses. If the King says you are ready, then it is time to move! Don’t second guess the wisdom of the King.

To wrap this up, the King here represents the highest order and masculine energy of the wands suit. He is encouraging the three of wands to take that first step to take control of his destiny. To overcome doubt, embrace his gifts and begin the journey. To bring his inspiration to the physical, and to express the “spark” of his divine talents to the world.

Embrace your fire!

Have you been feeling ungrounded lately, kind of “floatey”, as if your head is in the clouds? The current planetary alignments, along with the Halloween energy is taking it’s toll on some of you. Mood swings, high and low energy, having difficulty concentrating, chaotic dreams, mild depression, and disruptions in sleep patterns are all symptoms of being “ungrounded”. You may also sense that other people are not noticing you or that you are not being heard. These are symptoms of ungrounded energy as well. The reason people may be responding to you this way is that your energy is scattered. This affects your aura, which influences how others see you. It’s almost as if there is a mist around you, people see you and then they don’t. Others may sense that your energy is a bit chaotic, and choose to avoid you. If this resonates with you, read on.

The card that stands out to me on the top row is the King of Pumpkins. Look at how grounded he is. His eyes are closed as if in meditation, and he is sitting deeply on his throne, a pumpkin in one hand and his scepter in the other. I get the impression that he is very centered here. The King of Pumpkins is the ruler of the physical, the tangible, the “real”. Money, family, home, career, property, the body, etc.

The two cards before this, the Ten of Ghosts and the Six of Ghosts tell how to obtain the centered groundedness of the King of Pumpkins. This is spending time with those that are closest to you, such as friends, family and even your beloved pets. Spending time with those that are “real” in your life. The three of ghosts reversed is a confirmation of this message, as when it is upright, it symbolizes unity, working in groups, friends, celebration, etc. In this spread, the reversed message indicates feelings of separateness, disconnection and isolation. Get out and do something fun!

Another question the cards bring up is to ask is what in the physical part of your life are you neglecting? Are you exercising enough? Are you reaching out to communicate with those that truly care about you? And I mean truly reaching out, a phone call or a visit. Have you been spending enough time with your kids and/or pets? Does your house need a good cleaning? These are simple things, but being present in the physical does not have to be complicated.

This powerful energy affecting us right now is calling us to closely examine what is “real” and to nurture this aspect in our lives. Let go of limiting beliefs and escapism behaviors to get back in touch with your true self.

The six of ghosts asks us to think back in the past of what made you feel happy and “present” in your life. Was it a hobby or physical activity? Did you perhaps used to paint or sculpt, participate in sports, teach classes, spend time outside gardening, be active in a community group, etc.? I’m especially seeing group activities and a connection with others here. It may be time to revisit what it was in the past that you did that kept you grounded and excited about your life. I think we get too caught up thinking that if we are doing something, it should be useful or should make money. A hobby can be just a hobby, something to enjoy. It’s important to fill our souls too, not just our wallets.

Get real, get grounded and get going. You got this!

For this reading I had some fun working with tarot cards from The Halloween Tarot. The oracle card is from The Witches Wisdom Oracle deck.

The message I received from the cards today is that your inner magick is very strong right now! The fool and the moon in this reading suggest you are trusting your instincts and the messages you are receiving. You are feeling powerful! When you walk into a room, you are going in as if you own the place! And you are right to do this as your intuition is spot on! Especially for those with Scorpio in their charts, these energies are flowing to you on a strong current!

The underlying cards in this reading suggest this is a great time to practice divination and/or candle magick. If you work with angels, spirit guides, energies, etc. the lines of communication are wide open. You may consider experimenting with new methods that you are have not done before to further expand your awareness. With the new moon coming in on the 28th, this further adds to the amazing energies we are experiencing. Take advantage of this time. Use candle work to help you focus your intent on whatever it is you want to bring to you. Follow-up with the appropriate actions to support it and you will see amazing results!

Keep your energy up and your mind positive. Use your words carefully during this time, as with the current alignment of the planets creating such strong energetic channels, we can manifest without even realizing it.

The cards I pulled today were the Seven of Cups with the Queen of Swords at the bottom of the deck. The message here is you have many choices in front of you at the moment. You may be confused as to which direction you need to take or which is the best course of action. The Queen of Swords as a clarifier for the Seven of Cups is a message for you to narrow your focus and make a decision about what it is you want.

You may be overthinking here. I see the Seven of Cups as the “deer in the headlights” card. Feeling overwhelmed, confused, suffering from over analysis paralysis. This is also a card of worrying, and/or being apprehensive about a situation, which ends up making it much bigger in our minds than what it truly is in reality.

The Queen of Swords is a combination of intuition, clarity and focus. Cut away the distractions and options that are not in line with your goals. Use the Queen’s intuition to go within and see the truth about what it is that you want. Then take her sword and cut away that which is what you don’t want. Once you have chosen your “cup”, you will begin to move forward with focus and purpose. It’s time to make a decision and act on it. If there is something that you have been putting off that is weighing on your mind, this is a message to get it done so you can put it behind you and be finished with it.

I am also getting a message of too many distractions taking your focus away from what it is you want to do. Social media, tv, too much time on our phones, etc. can have an impact on our thoughts and our motivation. They are also “time bandits”. How many of us have sat down to check our social media sites only to look up and see that two hours have passed! The Queen of Swords is a message to be more disciplined with our time and mental energy.

Another message may be that it is time for some of us to de-clutter. We are coming up upon the end of the year. This is a good time to go through our environment and discard that which we are no longer using that is cluttering up our space. Donate those items and be sure to get a receipt so you can record it on your tax return. Or sell some items and have some extra cash in your pocket for the holidays.

By clearing your environment, you will clear your mind. Giving you a fresh perspective that will allow you to focus on your goals for the end of 2019 as well as what it is you want to accomplish for 2020.

The cards I pulled today are: The knight of wands, hanged man, two of wands, five of cups, magician.

The message: You are very powerful right now. Whether or not you realize it, you are currently manifesting your future via your thoughts and actions. Stay focused, keep your eye on the prize. Think about what you want and NOT what you don’t want. This is not the time for impulsive action, you may regret it later. Pause and think.
