Tarot for the Modern Reader

S02 Ep023 - I have a question in my facebook group, Tarot for the Modern Reader that asks "What is your BIGGEST struggle with reading Tarot cards?" With over 1000 responses, I have gotten the same 4 over and over and over again. One of them being, "How to tell the story in the cards"- how to weave the narrative that plays out by relating what all of the cards mean together as a symbiotic whole.

If this is something you struggle with too, or just want to hear what the other 3 Biggest Struggles are, then I hope you will join me on this week's episode where I share what this issue really stems from, and how tackling this, will ultimately help you overcome each of the other biggest struggles that were reported as well!

S02 Ep022 - Jupiter, the planet of abundance is about to leave spiritual Pisces and dive head-long into powerhouse Aries! This is the sign ruled by the Emperor. Our lives are all about to get a lot busier! So this week, let's talk about how we can use the Emperor's energy to be the BOSS in our own lives.

The kings in the tarot are really the personification of the Emperor in 4 domains of our daily lives. I’ll show you how to use the Emperor and his kings as your guide to help you achieve the life you are meant to live! You’ll uncover how each king shows up in your life (and where!) and learn how to take that king's energy and embody it as your own! I include 4 card spreads (straight out of the Master the Court spread vault) to work DIRECTLY with each king!

*What will it be like to get a handle on your finances rather than having THEM control YOU?

*What about your most important relationships? How can you show up for them and feel good in return?

*Where are you a true leader? Maybe this is hidden from you right now- Uncover your true gifts you’re meant to share with the world!

*How can you create a stable life that supports you without leaving you and those around you feeling as if life is all rules and no fun?

S02 Ep021 - Have you never noticed how many cards in your deck feature animals? Spoiler alert- in the RWS deck, it's 33! That's nearly half the deck! What does this mean? In the artwork of our decks, the animals are seen as symbols, they represent more than just something cute or interesting to look at. As a matter of fact, every animal has it’s own attributes that make it unique, and it's own spiritual meaning as well. Nearly none of the animals on your cards are placed there by accident or just to improve the artwork of the card or give you something interesting to look at.

Like all of the symbols on your cards, they have meaning. From the larger-than-life horses of the knights, to the smallest or most obscure (do you happen to know which RWS card features a bunny?), they all have great meaning and insight into our cards, and ultimately our readings, to offer us. Listen in to this episode where I share about all of the animals featured in the RWS deck, what they mean, and how you can interpret the animals in whatever deck you choose to read with!

S02 Ep020 - So you've heard me say that metaphysical systems do not exist in a vacuum once or twenty times right?? ​In this week's episode, I share what Taurus season brings, how it differs and builds upon the season of Aries that we just left, and what cards I expect to see more of in my readings (besides the two in the title)!

I also share how you can work with this season and these cards constructively- how to take ownership of the cycle we are in, and actively use it in your life to accomplish more. The world is cyclical, and there is a season to everything. No need to try and swim against the current. In this episode I share the current themes of the season, how you can best swim WITH the current to achieve more, and how to truly enjoy Taurus season- because enjoyment IS a major theme of Taurus season!

S01 Ep019 - Did you know there are astrological symbols hiding in plain sight in the tarot? Each card in the Tarot is associated with a corresponding astrological sign, planet, or both.

This likely isn't a surprise to you, after all, metaphysical disciplines rarely exist in a vacuum. As a matter of fact, with a slower, second look, we can see evidence of all kinds of other disciplines throughout our tarot decks, from astrology to numerology, Kabbalah to Christianity and more. In this episode, I’ll show you how to find new meaning in your cards, by uncovering fresh insights into the symbols, glyphs and icons, that have been there all along.

S01 Ep018 - Astrology is a big part of the Tarot. Metaphysical disciplines don't exist in a vacuum. Each is related to, and intertwined with many other disciplines. In today's episode I want to share with you a little about how astrology and tarot can work together, and specifically, the Major Arcana. There are 22 Major Arcana. There are also 12 signs and 10 planetary bodies- again 22. This is no coincidence. Using the astrology of the tarot major arcana is a great way to read for timing. A card can indicate a time of year (such as a Taurus season) or a transit of that particular associated planet. Join me in this episode to learn which cards go with which signs or planets, and add another layer of meaning to your cards.  Be prepared to take your readings to another level!

S01 Ep017 - Tarot birth cards are the cards that correspond to your birth date. They utilize your birthdate the same way numerology does to help you understand the unique patterns and blueprint of your life. With Tarot, we take that one step further, and relate your number to its corresponding Major Arcana cards. This matters for all of us, because our cards, are a major clue about how we approach life, problem solve the issues that our tarot readings uncover, and teach us about the major lessons we are here to learn in this lifetime. Do you know yours? You also have a new personal year card that acts as a focal card of lessons and opportunities for the year for you each and every year as well! In this episode we are going to cover what Tarot birth card constellations are and how to calculate your own!

S01 Ep015 - The Four Cardinal Virtues. We've all heard that term, but how familiar are you with what they are and how we practice them? The four cardinal virtues were first proposed by Plato in The Republic and were used to describe the qualities that would make a good city. Today we think of the four cardinal virtues as the bedrock of good character. But did you know that you can also find these four cardinal virtues in the tarot? Of course, because the Major Arcana seems to hold the mysteries and wisdom of life. Join me in this episode where I draw the relationship between 4 seemingly unrelated cards,  uncover where our 4 cardinal virtues are hiding in plain sight in the tarot, and what this means in our readings today!

S01 Ep014 - Do you use Tarot Significators? If so, how? Well that's what today's topic is going to cover, we're talking all about the 5W's (and the how!) of tarot significators.  If you're fairly new to tarot, you may have read about tarot signficators in your books. This is a topic that doesn't get discussed as much these days, but I consider it important to understand, since much of the older literature references them. I also have one important reason I like to use tarot signifcators, and I'll share it with you in this article. Join me in this episode where I’ll share with you exactly how I’ve upgraded the practice of using significators in my readings, and why I think it’s an invaluable tool in a modern day reading practice!
