Happy? Tag! You're it.

About a year ago I saw the movie trailer for Happy-go-lucky, a British film.... guess what, it was nominated last night for best screen play. If you can find it in the movie theaters, go see it. I promise you will laugh and come away lighter. Here is the link to the trailer: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1454928939/bctid1450952300

There are times when our minds become too full. Our to-do lists, worries, plans, and dreams may be so crowded together in our heads that we don’t have room to think. We may believe that we are somehow taking care of our desires and concerns by keeping them at the forefront of our minds. In maintaining our mental hold on every detail, however, we may actually delay the realization of our dreams and the resolution of our worries because we won’t let them go. At times such as these, we may want to use a surrender box. A surrender box allows us to let go of our worries and desires so the universe can take care of them for us. We write down what we want or need to happen and then place the note into a box. By writing and placing our thoughts in the box, we are taking action and letting the universe know we need help and are willing to surrender our feelings. We give ourselves permission to not concern ourselves with that problem any longer and trust that the universe is taking care of it. Y

Today's card is the Nine of Swords. Entitled "Cruelty", the card is attributed to Mars in Gemini. This card has come up several times on this blog. I know I tend to hold in anger and resentment, so I know some of this is directed at me. I've gotten better in recent years in identifying it, releasing it or transmuting it, whatever the case may be. I carried anger because I was picked on as a kid. I didn't fit in with the people around me, and a lot of times I didn't care. I was the loner, the kid who played by himself in the corner of the schoolyard. I was also bullied and teased by those around me. Things weren't much better in high school. I was very intellectual, the bookworm and classical music lover at a time when drugs and rock n roll dominated the scene. I was very alienated from my classmates and my parents could not understand me. In college I began to drink and experiment with drugs. I thought I had found a way to fit in and a means to stuff the d

Today's card is the Nine of Cups. It's entitled "Happiness" and is attributed to Jupiter in Pisces. This card has come up recently in some of my blogs, which means it wants to tell me something. It certainly a card of blessing. Jupiter is a planet of expansion and prosperity, while Pisces is a Water sign ruled by Jupiter, which means Jupiter is right at home. Much has been written about the "pursuit of happiness". Many people pursue material wealth and an extensive amount of possessions as a means of acquiring happiness. Others believe if they could only find the perfect mate they would have dreams fulfilled. I've come to the conclusion that happiness isn't a goal that can be pursued in and of itself. It's the byproduct of following our True Will. This "True Will" is the same thing as our purpose in life. This in turn ties in with our innate talents and our inner spirit. Expressing this upon the earth is what will bring us happiness. I&

Today's card is the Five of Swords. Entitled "Defeat", the card is attributed to Venus in Aquarius. This is undoubtedly one of the ugliest cards in the Tarot. The energy is simply yuck! The nature of the defeat is self-defeat. It's the mind getting in its own way. Or to be more accurate, it's a messy conglomeration of emotions and disordered thought. And it's very easy to fall into this. Very,very easy. Our thoughts, fueled by emotional energy, create our reality. This was always the limitation of some of the positive thinking books from the earlier part of the 20th century. They were right, energy does follow thought, and it needs emotional energy to feed it. What we feed it makes the difference. I have to be into what I want, really into it to make it happen. Just vaguely daydreaming doesn't cut it, which is why our daydreams usually don't manifest anything except wasted time. To manifest something is to really being into having it happen. Wholeheart

If you are not happy, ask yourself: “What is an empowering way to look at this time of my life?” For me, this is one of the most exciting times of my life! I am in an accelerated home self study course. Spiritual knowledge and understanding is my daily focus. I have learned before.... and I forgot. Now, I get it. There is no separation between us. My ego has told me in the past that I am separate from you. My ego has told me that I am what I do, the car I drive, the education I have, the people I know, the house I live in and the clothes I wear. I am finding that I am “it”. “It” is me. There is no separation between us and the tree and the dog and me. We are all energies in the Divine Matrix. We are the Divine Matrix. I am like a branch to a tree in the Divine Matrix. I am not my job. I am not who I know. I am not the house I live in or the car I drive. I am not the clothes I wear. I am simply, “it”. We are all “it”. I am experiencing many “Ah Ha” moments. Wayne Dwyer said that when we

Today's card is the Four of Sword. Entitled "Truce", the card is attributed to Jupiter in Libra. This card represents peace and balance. A lot of times when this comes up in reading I'll tell my client that they are stuck in something and unable to move forward. Today as I look at the card I get a sense of resolution of tension, of a seething energy coming to rest. Thank God Mercury retrograde is over. It started out not so bad, but as time went on it got wearying. If you're not familiar with retrogrades, it's a planetary action that makes it seems as if it's energies are working contrary to it's norm. Mercury rules communications and technology. During a retrograde misunderstandings and technical glitches can abound. I'm an Aquarius Sun sign and my Mercury is in Aquarius, so this can really kicks my ass at times. About a week ago I though I was going to lose my desktop computer. In the morning it didn't want to boot, and in the evening it froz
