the devil

todays card of the day is the DEVIL:
ok it's not fire and brimstone here but it is a bit impish. there's a bit of NOT wanting to commit to the higher path because there's more work and responsibility if you do. so mayhaps you're just coasti...ng along and living enjoying those earthly pleasures as you go. figuring I'm young or I work hard and I deserve to party, I can always do the important stuff later but that's an illusion and the illusion is a trap because as Scarlett O'Hara knows when you say tomorrow is another day tomorrow NEVER comes and years, decades, and lifetimes can pass us by without ever learning anything.
so as the mercury retrograde is waning you need to look at the past, at the patterns of your life and let go or change the ones that no longer work and create some space for the magic to happen. that goes for people to if they no longer serve your new path release them cause life gives you enough ballast to hold you down on a daily basis without clinging to the stuff you don't need.

queen of pentacles

todays card is the QUEEN of PENTACLES:
and I've chose Dolly Parton as a perfect representation of this Queen. she's smart and self made but happy and generous too. she understands how the world works but makes it work FOR her. that's just i...nstinctive with her, either ya got it or ya don't. .............
this queen understands how to live and not just exist and I cant possibly say it better than her so I want to share the lyrics to her new song (TRY) with y'all!
I have chased after rainbows
I’ve captured one or two
I’ve reached for the stars
And I have even held a few
I’ve walked that lonesome valley
Topped the mountains, sewed a sky
I’ve laughed and I have cried
But I have always tried

'Cause I’ve always been a dreamer
And dreams are special things
But dreams are of no value
If they’re not equipped with wings
So secure yourself for climbing
Make ready for the sky
Don’t let your chance go by
You’ll make it if you try

So try to be the first one up the mountain
The highest flying dreamer in the sky
And try your best to be an inspiration
Brothers that are still afraid and shy

And try to make the most of every moment
'Cause if you never try you never win
So try each day to try a little harder
And if you fail, get up and try again

You know nothing is impossible
If you can just believe
Don’t live your life in shackles
When faith can be the key
The winner's one who keeps determination in his eyes
Who’s not afraid to fly and not afraid to try

So try to be the first one up the mountain
And try to be the first to touch the sky
And don’t let somebody tell you, you can’t do it
And if they say that, show em it’s a lie

And if you fail at first just keep on trying
'Cause you are not a failure in god’s eyes
So spread your wings and let the magic happen
‘Cause you’ll never really know if you don’t try

And the first step is the one that’s always hardest
But you’ll never really know if you don’t try
You have to try

9 of wands

todays card is the NINE of WANDS:
Mercury hasn't even officially went retrograde and already everything is cattywampuss (happens oct 4th) communication is gonna be terrible I fear and it's already happening. we had to do a rerun of The Taro...t Talk Itv Show on Paraencounters Network because Rebeccas wireless crashed Monday. I haven't had any clients all week and communication is a readers bread and butter. even my mundane job oppsed my schedule and gave me an extra day off (of course when I need the cash! lol) and I've had multiple friends needing advice (which I would NEVER accept money for) that I gladly gave. but it all boils down to the crazy energy goin on preceding the retro.
I kinda feel it's like preparing for a universal energy hurricane. batten down the hatches, surround yourself with protection and light and hold on TIGHT! for those who enjoy a roller coaster ( I do NOT!) it may be a wild ride indeed but don't say you weren't warned!
I'm not an astrologer but it feel like mayhaps mercury is benefitting from the same cycle as the moon and we've had multiple supermoons already. could that be why the affects are so much more visible?
the nine is all about feeling attacked and holding your position so just hang in there on your high ground and do that which must be done and we'll make it through this with a minimum of fuss and muss (fingers crossed just in case! lol)
just remember that electronics can be fubared so back up everything and make sure you get those upgrades and just pay attention to detail. it's the difference between surviving it and living it!
