Alright, here we go. Emotions are flying!!! Deep breaths, deep breaths. Let it lie and don’t disturb the beast, find peace in the quiet. Or be grateful for the peace and quiet that you have unexpectedly found but just haven’t figured it out yet. It’s time to separate, isolate, and dispose of, and then see how awesome everything that is left is. It’s funny how no matter how beautiful you are, if you get a zit, that’s all you see in the mirror, is the freaking zit. It’s so small, and in the end it’s just a zit, gross right? It goes away, and you have your face back, and just like a crappy day, it passes and then you are good. God I hate zits, but I don’t think about them all the time. So why focus on life’s “zits”….squirrel. I guess what I am saying is don’t hyper focus on something that doesn’t even matter. If there is something you need to do, take care of it and then move on. Anything else, that does not involve an action, is NOTHING. I think it’s a lesson of being in the present. For just this moment, don’t live in the past, don’t live in the future, don’t live in someone else’s present (or future), live within your actions, and make them count. Breathing is an action. 4 of Swords. It’s actually a bit of a death card, but it’s more of a letting go. The person stopped struggling, put down the sword, and drifted away in peace. In essence, died in their sleep. Okay so how did I get from zits, to dying in your sleep. Don’t you just wake up one day and they are gone? Hmmm. What’s your next step? I think mine is going to get some Proactiv. Lol. xoxo Stina

Sometimes you have to release your view of how people can be cold to you and instead see the warmth that others in your life may bring. Dig into work and experience a new relationship with yourself. You will be on the mend for awhile but if you get swept up into the flow of everything else around you then you will eventually wake up in a place where you have never been before and there you will experience peace and prosperity. Winter will be a good season. What’s your next step?

There is a strong woman, she’s aggressive and scrambling to make ends meet, and has been on edge lately. She doesn’t want to snap at people, but it just comes out, she’s fed up. You are blocked, it’s like you are tangled up in ropes and are struggling to get free and because you are trying so hard to keep up with what’s going on now, and deal with each day, you can’t look forward to the future and brainstorm ways to break out of your circle. This causes frustration and you release it anyway you can and it’s coming out in the form of anger. Anger is a big word. It’s a feeling, it’s action, it’s a state of being. You need a windfall, you need a break, somethings gotta give, this can’t last forever, somehow you must break free. Actually anger is a good way to break free when used correctly. If it’s directed at other people, well, what can I say, we all have our moments, but when it turns into a life condition and identified, in Buddhism it’s the 4th level of vibration, it’s a lower world, but enlightenment exists in all of the worlds, once you see it you automatically lift out of it, and it turns into humanity. Which is saying once you stop directing that anger at yourself and everyone else around you, you can turn that angry energy into a propeller. The two cards I am talking about are the Queen of Swords and the eight of swords. What’s interesting, is it’s the “Queen” of Swords, and you guessed it, she is holding a huge sword. The 8 of Swords is a woman who is tied up in ropes (blocked). So you’re tied up, well, you have a sword (anger), and if you have a rope and a knife, the knife always wins, clip clip clip and you’re free. Sounds easy right? Yeah, not really. But, think about it. If you are directing your anger at yourself and others you are using it to push people away, and push your dreams away. It’s a push. And you can’t catch up to it and you end up scrambling. So we need a pull. We need things to COME to you, not go from you. Energy in, not energy out. Are you following me still. So if we shift that anger into motivation and ambition, flip around the coin and look for the silver lining, find the enlightenment, it’s there, then we are pulling in energy, harnessing it. Think about when you snap at someone, road rage, bad waiters, whining children, husbands, whatever, what happens? You get this rush of energy, you get flushed, your heart beats faster, your adrenaline gets going, you feel a sense of entitlement, a sense that you are right. That’s a lot of energy!! And you are giving it away and creating more problems. What happens when you use that energy yourself, wow, it’s super powerful, and radiant, and you become a beacon. Helpful people will come, you aren’t pushing them away, they are coming to you, will flock to you in fact, and with the power of working with a team, and it’s not you against the world, it’s you with the world, you catch up with yourself, and you move forward, out of the circle. The cards are saying you need help and it will come to you, and that you will have time to digest everything, catch your breath, and a plan will come to you. So decide, do you want to manifest, or do you want to push everything away from you and create more problems. Write about it. Open up Word and just start typing. Start off with, “I’m f*&#$%% pissed” And then type about what pisses you off, get the ball rolling, and then what you wish you had, and how you want people to be. Next thing you know, you have a list of things you need, just did some manifesting, and came up with a plan. Imagine that. What’s your next step? xoxo Stina

I like to do general Tarot readings for the season and here we are again, it’s the beautiful season of Autumn, I love Fall, the weather is so beautiful, the clothes are beautiful (I can break out my cashmere), the trees are beautiful. It’s my favorite time of year.

I saw Summer as being the season to branch out into our communities and start new projects with new people. Maybe not all the rules or goals that we wanted were followed or fulfilled, but I see that new projects have started. Mentors are good, I hope that you have found someone to admire and look up to in the past few months to motivate you. If you haven’t looked up to somebody recently maybe you should look around you and find the admirable traits in others and contemplate how you may incorporate some of those traits into your own lives. It’s a lesson in respect that I hope we did not miss this past season, but it is never too late to admire the greatness in others, we should do it all the time. I am sure all of you are incredible in your own way and I love to hear of your accomplishments and about your a-ha moments from this past season.

This season looks like it is more in the realm of intimate relationships and intimate conversations and communications. Last season we were out in the community and adopting mentors, this season we bring what we have learned back home. Recently I see that new ground has been broken in old relationships and a new light has been shed to spruce up our lives with those that are closest to us, be it family, friends, or our romantic interests. When we start new projects and allow new opportunities into our lives it drives us away from our nearest beloveds, but now that the ball is in motion and the new routines are set in place we are able to once again focus in on our loved ones. Last season our drive was to connect to our communities, this season is to connect to the people who are the closest to us. They are our support system and I see future plans can be made with these individuals that can benefit more than our home lives but also our lives that are outside of the home. Usually they say family and money don’t mix, but sometimes family and business does. If you have ideas that could involve business projects with friends or family now would be a good time to look at your plans more closely and maybe even take some action.

I think there has been much stress in our individual relationships and that stress is going to go back out to sea and very soon we shall see calm enter into our lives and everybody else is going to calm down too. Everybody is getting a handle on their lives and the calm and peace is contagious and will spread throughout our families. I predict that this Autumn is going to be a fairly peaceful one. At the end of the season, in a couple of months, things are going to heat up as we cool down into the Winter season and there will be much movement. Perhaps some of you will even move at that time but now is not the time to worry about that, we should be busy enjoying our peace. This isn’t lazy peace, this is like the peace that comes with a well oiled and maintained machine, everything is working the way it’s supposed to and everyone is carrying their own weight.

All in all I see strong personal relationships, prior goals being met with great success, secure families financially and emotionally and truly excellent communication. We have a lot to learn about each other and from each other. I guess you can say it is nice to share.

For some of you I see there is a longing to bring someone back into your life. It is time to let them go and make peace with yourself and open yourself up to allow new people to come in. You are in a different place now and you don’t have to bring everyone from your past with you. There are new people to meet and new connections to be made. I have this funny feeling that you will come across people who know the same people you do.

Enjoy this beautiful season!
What’s your next step?
Many blessings,
Stina
