Introduction to Tarot – The Emperor

The Emperor  Tarot Card

The Emperor Tarot Card # 4

Major Arcana – Fathers Authority and Guidance

Astrological Sign: With this cards planet as Mars we are seeing the best in combination energy of Scorpio and Aries. We have courageous, determined adventurous traits dominated by a quick-witted, charismatic and passionate mind. But our darker side can bring forth jealous, stubborn and sometimes a quick-tempered approach. The keyword for Scorpio/Aries combo is STRONG and this can be really helpful or make things extremely challenging.

When the Emperor, Father figure arrives upright in his chair it cautions us to recognize and use all our power and logic in a situation. Then use this logic to master, govern and lead in a situation. When it represents another in the tarot reading you need to listen or seek out advice from an older wiser soul than yours before proceeding.

The information you seek or the answer you feel within may not seem the easiest solution but it comes from a practical and wise space therefore heed the advice, change course if necessary and move on in confidence of success.

This card can literally indicate immanent Fatherhood, successful fertility wishes or needing to take control of a situation at hand and bring balance to it through your wisdom of lessons and experience.

You will need to either find fatherly advice and direction or provide it for others.

When reversed the Emperor represents in you or others a less than flattering view of maturity, stubbornness and weakness in facing a problem or situation. It indicates a lack of leadership and a more dictatorial approach taking place that will not be successful in outcome and may actually bring the situation to an abusive or at the very least an uncomfortable place.

When you see the Emperor reversed stop, take a thoughtful look at things before proceeding for everyone’s sake.

Introduction to Tarot – The Empress

The Empress tarot card

The Empress – Tarot card # 3

Major Arcana | The Time is Ripe for all Things

Astrological Sign: Taurus and Libra are both within the Empress through the planet Venus. With the strong Warm-hearted and loving patience and determination of Taurus she can then balance the reversed Empress that can bring in indecisive and gullible Libra mindset that can leave yourself and situations at a standstill.

The Empress is “Mother Earth” and represents all that is coming into fruition at this time. The present is right for action, and will bring results of happiness, fertility and contentment.

Upright the Empress smiles upon us and gives birth to many ideas and situations with tenderness and promise of prosperity and much abundance in our outcomes.

When the Empress falls over she feels completely bound and unable to bring anything to resolution or completion. This reversed position often represents problems with fertility, or abundance in any area such as children, crops, money or material.

There are often problems at work and if that is not bad enough then also know that there could also be problems quietly burning on the home fires.

Now is not the time to start, change or introduce any new ideas or life changes. Now is the time to pay attention to your home life before things get out of hand and look carefully at any planning you are doing for any project, watch the details or things can fall flat.

High Priestess – Introduction to tarot Series

high priestess tarot card

The High Priestess – Tarot Card #2

The Major Arcana – Trust Your Intuition First

Astrological sign: By bringing in a Pisces/Virgo blend these polar opposites make a perfect balance of emotional and yet analytical reasoning.

When the upright High Priestess appears in a Tarot reading it is “Go with your Gut” time. In her balanced wisdom she is signalling to you that you already have the right answer within your subconscious and intuition you just need to stop and listen to the message within then follow that lead.

Being the essence of the divine feminine she is showing you that the very best of sexual chemistry is in store for you with your perfect mate. If he is not there yet, he is coming into your life soon and if there was ever a time for a soul-mate to appear this is it.

Now, when the regal lady turns she is then not to be trusted. The information she brings can be inaccurate and sometimes even untruthful. So if the Priestess is reversed then proceed with caution because “all to be seen may not meet the eye” and at the very least someone is manipulating the situation and it is probably not in your favour.

When the Priestess appears either way pay attention to your first guess and go with it.

Affirmations…. The Power of Positive Thinking!

An affirmation is a series of positively stated words affirming your health, strength or wisdom.  The affirmation is repeated again and again while in a relaxed or meditative state.  Affirmations enable you to transform negative thinking habits into positive ones.  They require energy and effort.  Affirmations help cultivate wholesome/healthy states of mind in four ways.

We all have some positive thoughts, feelings and beliefs.  Repeating affirmations encourages the continued growth of these states of mind such as love, generosity, abundance and peace.  Affirmations protect and further develop the strengths already manifest.

  1. Affirmations enable those positive thoughts, feelings and beliefs that are latent within us to emerge.  We choose to call forth these qualities through the power of sound, speaking affirming words.
  2. Affirmations help us to let go of limiting feelings, attitudes and beliefs.  We do not give energy to these thoughts.  When a limiting thought arises we notice it and then choose to create and affirm a healthy thought.
  3. As we work with affirmations we gradually become aware of the people, situations and attitudes of mind that foster healthy qualities.  We make clear choices to stay away form situations that encourage limiting thought forms.  For example, we choose to spend less time in places or with people who encourage the abuse of alcohol or drugs.

To create your own affirmations think of qualities you wish to affirm in yourself.  Then state these qualities as simply as possible.  Always state them in the present tense.  In that way the unconscious mind understands the goal and will work to bring it about.  Say, “I am strong, energetic and competent” rather than “I am going to grow strong, energetic and competent”.  The latter puts the situation in the future and the mind won’t respond to it.  Your power is always in the present.  State the affirmation in the positive or you will be encouraging a negative mind state.  Say, “I am wide awake and alert”, rather than “I am not sleepy”.  You may want to write out your affirmations and tape them to your mirror or refrigerator – someplace where you will see them daily.  This is an excellent means of reinforcement.

Auras – What are they, and what do they mean?

What is an Aura?

The electromagnetic field which surrounds all things is known as the aura.  This force field may be seen psychically as a fluid, pulsating, oval-shaped ring of light, or it may appear as a swirling pattern of light with several colours shimmering through it.  For some it will not translate into visual terms but will be sensed or felt.  The aura has actually been photographed through the use of Kirlian photography, named after the Russian scientist who discovered the method.

A person who is highly skilled in aura reading may gather information about another’s mental and emotional state, as well as information concerning his/her physical health and spiritual development, by observing the aura.  Metaphysics teaches that the aura consists of seven interwoven rings of light, each revealing a different aspect of the person.  The first ring reveals his/her state of health, the second ring is emotions, the third his/her intellectual make-up, the fourth is the higher mind (imagination and intuition), the fifth his/her spirit, or link between the individual and the cosmos, and the sixth and seventh reveal cosmic aspects.  These last two are not usually visible on most people.

The aura is superimposed over the etheric, which is the invisible double of the physical body and is shed along with the physical at death.  The etheric is the animal force of the body. It may be observed as a bluish haze around the body.  Its thickness is determined by the health and vitality of the individual – one-half to four inches.  The etheric body has the function of drawing in life energy from the atmosphere and distributing it along the system.

Once the physical body is shed at death, the etheric is shed also.  However, it may take a while for the energy of the etheric to dissipate.  It is something like turning the electric stove burner on so that it gets hot.  When you turn it off, it will remain warm for a while.  Often what people think of as a ghost is really the etheric energy of the person.  It has no consciousness but follows the habits and patterns of the body to which it belonged.  People who die suddenly, in an accident for example, may leave behind a strong etheric that will take some time to dissipate.

Most people can be taught to see auras; the first ring emanating from the physical etheric body is the one usually seen.  It is not necessary to perceive the individual layers of the aura, or to distinguish the aura from the etheric, in order to gain information about the person you are observing.

When first observing auras, the colours are sometimes not perceived.  Only a halo-shaped yellowish or whitish glow may be apparent or the colours, when observed, will be seen with the inner and not the physical eye, so that you may only feel or sense the colour.  With practice you will be able to perceive the colours visually.  Although colour is usually thought of as an absolute, it is really very subjective.  Because of this variation and because the aura is continually pulsating, two people observing the same person may pick up different colours.  every emotion leaves its trace in the aura, so the colours fluctuate with your moods.  Often, however, one or two colours will remain predominant.  As you observe the aura for colours, allow the awareness of the colour and its meaning to rise anew with each aura you observe.

Aura color meaning

Here are some common colour associations:

RED – energy, strength, courage

BRICK RED – anger

DEEP RED – sensuality

CRIMSON – loyalty

PINK – cheerfulness, optimism

ROSE – self-love

ORANGE – joy, vitality, balance of mental and physical

YELLOW – wisdom, creativity, spiritual

GREYISH YELLOW – fear

GREEN – ingenuity, compassion, growth

PALE GREEN – healing power

GREYISH GREEN – pessimism, envy

BLUE – spiritual, idealistic, imaginative, intellectual

GREYISH BLUE – melancholy

ICE BLUE – intellectual

PURPLE – spiritual power

ORCHID – idealism

WHITE – highly spiritual (rarely seen)

BLACK – depression, death (rarely seen)

BROWN – earthy

DULL BROWN – low energy

GREY – fear, boredom, repressed anger

GOLD – pure knowing and intuition

SILVER – similar to gold, very developed psychically

How to see auras

To observe the aura, you need to look with soft or blurred eyes.  If you wear glasses, it is often easier to see the aura without them.  Visualizing auras does not require the kind of intense focus needed for reading or driving.  You need to relax and allow your self to perceive it.  The aura surrounds the entire body, although it is more easily observable around the head and shoulders.  It may take several attempts before you see the aura.  You may see it at the first attempt but not trust it, feeling that it was only an after-image, or that your eyes were playing tricks on you.

Why not give it a try for yourself and see what colours surround those closest to you ….

Terri specializes in Angel & Faeirie Guided Readings, Romance & Relationship, Tarot, Business Predictions, Spiritual Guidance

She is known to be Caring, Professional, Focused, AND ACCURATE!

To find your “Faerie (fairie) Scope” for the month of February, count the number of pennies that you have in your pocket or coin purse and reduce that to a single number.  For example if you have 22 pennies in your pocket add 2 + 2 = 4, your “Scope” will be number 4 below.  Have fun!

Scope 0 ~ Be aware of where you spend your time, effort, energy and hard earned cash this month.  Budgeting all of the above is order for this month.

Scope 1 ~  Troubles are behind you this month, you are moving to smoother waters.  Look forward to better times.

Scope 2 ~ So much to do, so little time.  Prioritize and tackle the most important things first.  Things that are low on the list, can wait.  Don’t sweat over the small stuff.

Scope 3 ~ You may want to gift yourself some quiet, alone time this month.  Think back over lessons learned and where you are heading.  No need to rush into anything this month.  This is a “think about it,” month.

Scope 4 ~ You need to get moving.  “I like to move it, move it, move it,” should be your mantra this month.  No rest for you.  Go out dancing.

Scope 5 ~ Check your records, is it time for a “tune up?”  This could be you or it could be your car.  Check both.  Better to do that routine maintenance, rather than wait for something to go wrong.

Scope 6 ~ For you, it’s all things in moderation this month.  Balance is the key.  Don’t over indulge, but don’t restrict too much either.  Go ahead, have that piece of chocolate, but just one!

Scope 7 ~ You have a project that needs to be shaken up, take it back down to the foundation and begin again.  There is a solid base to rebuild from, it will be better this time around.

Scope 8 ~ There is something you’ve been contemplating for quite sometime, but are choosing not to act on it.  Let it go.  Once you do, you will find a new door opens up.

Scope 9 ~ A gift comes your direction this month.  Receive it with an open heart and then find a way to pay it forward.

Have a Faerie filled, fun month!

Introduction to Tarot – The Magician

The Magician tarot card

Tarot – The Magician #1

The Major Arcana – Making our own reality

Astrological sign: The Aries sign brings with it the unconquerable, determined energy of success of your own creative power and doing.

When the Magician appears you will see your ideas turn from thought and planning to reality right before your eyes. Sometimes almost effortlessly we are able to create our own reality into something tangible and with great success.

In a reading it tells us that something wonderful in our lives is being created and we are empowered and have the motivation to do this ourselves. When you see the Upright Magician don’t be afraid, change is already coming your way, it’s inevitable and usually it is already a success – at this particular time action is our friends as we hold the almost magical power of manifestation.

When the Magician is reversed, like standing on our head we are feeling Topsy – Turvey or out of control of outcomes. We are only half engaged not doing our best and not believing wholeheartedly in what we are doing or what the outcome will be.Don’t get half into the game, get in or get out and in the reversal position the best decision is to temporarily get out.

We are being told that our current efforts are being blocked by negative thoughts; you are not ready to walk onto new beginnings. Study the situation and wait for a more opportune time.

Tarot Card Introduction – The Fool

Tarot – The Fool #0

Astrological sign: An Aries zodiac tendency like the Fool demonstrates the same open-minded and adventurous spirit of the card.

The Fool being neither the beginning nor the end as zero indicates you are entering into a new energy and cycle. When upright the Fool and all experienced with it can be with childlike wonder. Bringing with it wonderful care-free energy with great hope and abandonment.

Something or someone new is afoot within your life and it is up to you how the adventure goes.

The Fool also brings the naïveté of sometimes taking foolhardy actions. Reversed it tells us that there could be delays, unexpected complications and perhaps unwise choices made in haste that don’t bring us to the desired or best conclusions.

Life is not a spectator sport – The Fool encourages us to take risks but it also warns us not to take careless or foolish risks. . The motto “Look Before You Leap” is best served when this card makes an appearance in your tarot reading, whether upright or reversed.

Introduction to the Tarot Deck

online tarot reading

Introduction to Tarot

The Tarot consists of 78 cards; 22 are the Major Arcana, 16 Court cards and 40 Pips.

Major Arcana

Starting with the Major Arcana which I believe are indicators of things that have been included in our Akashic record or plan within each lifetime to be within the teachings of the lessons we have chosen to work on.

Within a reading, when one of the Majors presents itself, it leads me as a tarot reader to believe that although we all have “free will” to change each minute of our lives and thus vary our outcomes, situations and signs indicated by the Majors have a flavour of “what is meant to be” or part of our destiny on our individual life’s path. These visual metaphors help us to understand major events within our past, present and future.

The court cards to me usually indicate behaviour of ourselves or others within our daily lives and how that can or has affected us in our past, present and future.

The “Pips” are the details the incidentals and fillers of situations within our daily lives. How the story has or will play itself out. They help us to narrow down and clarify various answers to questions and offer the majority of text within each story.

Tarot readings seem to defy time and space. Meaning, I can receive an E-reading, on-line chat or phone call it makes no difference if the Quarent (client) is sitting with me physically within the present or not. When consulted with the most honourable of intentions the Tarot will most often present itself clearly, concisely and with relevant accuracy to both the client’s and sometimes after many years even my amazement.

The Tarot, like a language, has certain consistent and historical themes and indications for various card meanings. When then coupled with intuition and psychic input the cards can also take on a consistent but different meaning for various readers.

For example if I have someone asking regarding the outcome of their own or someone’s health and within a spread I see the four of swords , then the 3 of swords it indicates to me that the person may require hospitalization and the outcome may be difficult or guarded.

With the same question if I see the 4 of swords followed by the Ace of swords then the World card, it would indicate that they may have a hospitalization, possible surgery and then the results appear very optimistic.

In the posts coming up over the next few weeks we’ll follow through the various indicators and meanings of the cards individually, sequentially and also within their various meanings in relationship to their placement within spreads.
