Spiritual Guidance Tarot Blog

I hope that all of you are embracing this new year with a great deal of hope and enthusiasm. I know that many of us start off that way – with big lofty goals and then as our enthusiasm wanes (and it will if your goals are too large) we tend to let things fall by the wayside.

I believe very much in setting small, daily goals that build up into larger goals. If you need to lose 50 pounds for example – start with a goal to exercise more this week and lose just one or two – then make that goal again and repeat This is more attainable and will keep you on target more than thinking about the “top of the mountain” – focus instead on each step of the journey and consider it a piece of your victory also to savor and celebrate.

Enjoy your new year everyone. I have many plans for Spiritual Guidance Tarot – many of which got started last year and are now carrying over. You can also visit my sister site to learn more about animal totems and how to work with animal symbolism at http://www.totemwisdom.com

Thanks and lets make it a great year

http://www.freeonlinetarot.net/ is a new website that features dozens, maybe even a hundred different free reading applications and it is still growing. This site features reviews of the free readings, what’s good, what could use improvement etc.

There are separate sections for Free Tarot, Runes, I Ching, Astrology/Horoscopes, and “Other” readings. the miscellaneous readings include things like tea leaves, zodax cubes, a Celtic Ogham oracle, and other unusual things.

If you love free oracles and readings for inner reflection you are sure to enjoy this website and want to bookmark it. There are 4 full pages of free Tarot reading links alone.

It’s that time of year again where we all start to look forward to a new year and a fresh start.

I find this is the most popular time of year for calendar spreads – which is totally understandable.  A 13 card calendar spread features a significator in the center of the circle, and then a card for each month starting with the current month (or for a new year’s spread January – December)

This spread helps to get ideas of overall themes for the coming year and it can show secondary influences as well.  For example if you have a lot of Major arcana it means a very important year ahead with a lot of opportunities for personal growth.  Significant amounts of reversals may mean you need to work harder to keep your energy levels and ambition up.  Many of the same suit would mean that particular suit has a strong influence over your year ahead – wands for example could point to a lot of “new energy” and ideas flowing, whereas an abundance of coins may mean things coming to a conclusion.  Rewards or consequences being felt this year for past actions and efforts.

Calendar spreads are useful to help see trends/patterns so you can plan and adjust accordingly.

I offer personally done, (never software generated) calendar spreads for only $13.95.  You will get a fully personalized reading done for you for a great low price.  I have over 20 years of Tarot reading experience and my goal is to empower and inspire others to make the most of opportunities in life while learning from life lessons and taking bold new actions.

If you want to see the trends/patterns that surround you in 2012 go to

For an ordered list of Tarot lessons go to the link at the upper right hand side of the blog and view the lessons in order.  If this is your first time here you really need to start at the beginning to learn about the tarot journals, how I set them up and how you can use my technique to learn to intuitively and emotionally connect more deeply to your cards.

The purpose is not to just read other interpretations and use those, but to learn how to see the cards deeply from your own perspective.  that process is what allows you to become a good reader.  If you spend all your time memorizing the interpretations of others you will eventually lose interest (and not be the best Tarot reader you can be)

The Hanged Man

The first obvious thing in this picture is of course the man is hanging upside down by his foot.

He has a halo looking light around his head.  The greenery grows in the background.

He doesn’t appear to be upset or struggling – more complacent like he has accepted his fate and so he just hangs there.

This card speaks to me of “comfort zones”  – things that are not necessarily good for you, do not lead to growth, but yet for whatever reason you become resigned and continue to just hang in there.

The greenery in the background suggests to me that there are “greener pastures” waiting if one can just correct their path and right themselves.

The halo suggests to me wisdom and meditation – connecting with the Universal mind or one’s higher power to look for solutions rather than struggling or fighting what is

In the stillness our answers come which allow us to see clearly how to correct our path.

Sorry it’s been awhile so I am going to post a few of these today If at any time you want to view the lessons I post in order check the page links over on the sidebar – there is a link for viewing the lessons in order.

Remember do your own journal entries before reading mine to achieve the best results! The goal is teaching you how to connect with your own cards in your own style. Just reading and memorizing other people’s ideas/interpretations is not going to give you the intuitive, connected feeling you require to attach the imagery appropriately.

Justice

In this card the woman sits on the throne. There are justice scales in one hand and an upright sword in the other. This card has an aura of strength – clear vision. She is facing us head on from a seat of authority. The sword upright suggests someone ready to take action. It also speaks of “sharpness” or an idea that is on target.

Justice scales speak of being well balanced, next to the sword of action it tells me that the woman has carefully weighed all options and is contemplating and about to take action that is both swift, but fair.

When I see this card I think of someone who detaches emotionally and approaches problems with logic and analysis in an effort to be unbiased.
