Striving for Balance? Don’t Bother! ~ Tarot Card for Friday

fridays with veronicaVeronica is the Daily Tarot Girl’s evil twin. She spends her time penning smut, sipping martinis, and planning her next seduction. Let us read what she has to say about the Six of Pentacles…

New Palladini Tarot

Today we have the Six of Pentacles (again!) and it appears that “balance” is what it’s all about. But don’t be fooled. Striving for balance is overrated.

Contrary to popular belief, imbalance is the natural state of affairs. Think of a pair of testicles. One must always hang lower than the other, lest they be squished together during the act of walking (moving forward).

And this is how you need to start thinking of your life – like a pair of testicles. Stop striving for perfect balance.

You hear a lot about “balance” these days – about eating a balanced diet, about living a balanced life, balance, balance, balance! And its all bullshit.

Striving for perfect balance is useless and, in my humble opinion, totally unnatural. But here’s the funny thing – if you just do what you feel, eventually things even out and balance themselves.

For example, yesterday I spent an entire day lying on my couch, reading Scandalous Liaisons by Sylvia Day, eating peanut butter-cornflake squares and drinking syrupy, German white wine.

But today I am just humming along with my work like a skanky ferrari, getting shit done, eating my greens and doing yoga.

So stop striving and just go with the fucking flow already!

Five of Pentacles ~ Start Telling a New Story!

5 of fossils
Animal Wisdom Tarot by Dawn Brunke

Feel like the weight of the world is crushing you? Or perhaps just the heavy load of all your responsibilities are bringing you down? Tell a different story!

If you find yourself lamenting to your friends about how hard things are, realize that this only creates more of what your complaining about. Especially if you actually feel worse afterwards.

Try re-writing your “script”. Here’s an example: The other day I said to a friend “nothing is working out the way I want it to and it is really disappointing.”

I felt much worse after saying that.

What I am going to say from now on is: “While things aren’t unfolding the way I had hoped, I know that everything is unfolding in the order and time it is meant to. I am excited to see where this leads.”

The second response is just as true as the first response, but it has a positive feel to it and makes me feel empowered instead of a helpless victim of life.

Do you have a negative “script” or story that you keep telling yourself and others? How can you re-write it so it feels good?

The Heirophant ~ Tarot Card for Tuesday!

Fenestra Tarot

No, you don’t need a degree! Part of you thinks that if some authoritative “governing body” issues you a certificate then you will have permission to do what you really want to. That’s just not true.

Do you feel tempted to keep signing up for courses and programs? There is nothing wrong with being a life long learner, but do it out of sheer interest and not out of a sense of lack.

You already have everything you need to succeed.

What is needed is presence. If you can be present in all you do, and give things your full attention, you will contribute to this world in profound ways.

Ace of Pentacles ~ Tarot Card for Wednesday!

Morgan-Greer Tarot

Today you will get some clarity on what you truly want. Perhaps you have been struggling to create a clear path in your mind of where you want to go.

Don’t get me wrong – there will always be some fog, but today you have the opportunity to make a breakthrough!

The Ace of Pentacles suggests that you are finally merging your values, vision and passion together in a way that will give you a strong sense of purpose and direction.

Some activities you might try today: writing down you goals and dreams, planning the next steps, do some journalling around what could be “blocking” you on your path and how you can release them. Or, simply just holding a positive vision of what you would like to create.

Today is full of the energy of fresh starts, new beginnings and a whole new way of seeing the world!

The Lovers ~ Tarot Card for Monday – Friday

The Cosmic Tarot

The Lovers Tarot Card is all about unity, connection and balance.

What do you find yourself powerfully drawn to this week? It could be a person, place or thing. Often we are drawn to something that is lacking in ourselves in an attempt to balance things out.

Communication and connecting with others may seem easier than usual this week and don’t be surprised if you feel a surge of passion towards something you had thought long forgotten – like an old hobby, for example.

Although The Lovers Tarot card is all about opposites attracting, try to look for the commonality that you share with others, rather than your differences – this will help you get on the same page with friends, family and colleagues.

*Note: For the month of October I am going to be taking a breather from my daily readings. Instead, I will be posting a card of the week. This will give me time to write more articles, reviews, videos, etc…I will return with my daily readings in November 🙂

Let Yourself Go! ~ King of Cups (Thursday)

king of cups
Rider Waite Tarot

The King of Cups! He is such a funny little dude, looking all uptight and secretive. This King holds secrets, that’s for sure! Emotional secrets.

What feelings are you hiding from others (and maybe even yourself?) What area of your life do you not allow feeling to flow through?

Today will be an interesting day – you will have the choice to either ignore a feeling or engage with it.

Yes, you may seem unstable to those who are so used to you being the “rock” who keeps it together. But so what? Keeping your emotions all bottled up inside is no picnic either. Let it flow!

Create Magic in Your Life! ~ The Magician (Wednesday)

Cosmic Tarot by Norbert Losche

You are The Magician in your own life – enjoy it! Today you will meet plenty of opportunities to start creating magic and shaping your life the way you want it.

But the first step is to recognize yourself as the magician that you are – kick any “loser thoughts” that might creep up when you least expect it.

You have all the tools at your fingertips – you know about the Law of Attraction, vision boards, meditation, changing your thoughts, etc, etc – now its time to really dive into putting all that stuff to good use!

If you still can’t see yourself as a powerful magician, try meditating with a quartz crystal resting on your third eye (the space between your eyebrows) – this tends to activate your inner sight and connect you to the divine. Try it!

Note: Tune into the Allie Theiss Show tomorrow night and hear me natter away about Tarot! 5pm PT/8pm ET

The Hanged Man ~ Give up Control! (Monday)

The New Palladini Tarot
Things are in limbo right now for you, but don’t fret. The Hanged Man is here to remind you that enlightenment – and great ideas – come from giving up the struggle and choosing peace.

Avoid trying to change your situation. Instead, focus on changing your inner landscape – that of your feelings, thoughts and attitude.

You may think that things aren’t happening the way you had planned, but that just isn’t true!

Take a time-out from your usual monkey business and just wait for the aha! moments to come rolling in. It won’t be long now 🙂

Four of Coins ~ Zap Poverty Thinking! (Thursday)

4 of pentacles
Fairytale Tarot by Karen Mahony

Today’s Tarot card is the Four of Coins from the Fairytale Tarot and it is represented by the fairytale The Fisherman and his Wife (a story I loved as a child).

The story is about “poverty thinking” and feeling like you never have enough, no matter what your situation. It doesn’t matter if you live in a castle with trunks full of jewels, if you feel poor on the inside, you will never know true wealth.

So today is all about feeling abundant and wealthy. Feel as though you have more money than you need, feel what you think it feels like to have more time and energy than you know what to do with!

How you feel is more important than what you have. You can enjoy material riches only when you feel abundant on the inside, otherwise you will always be clamoring for more and never feel sated.

Strength ~ Let Your Inner Lion Roar! (Wednesday)

strength tarot card
New Palladini Tarot
Make peace with your ferocious side! Today’s Tarot card, Strength, is all about nurturing the beast within so that your animal-nature works for you and not against you.

Deny your wild side and it will tear you apart. Love it unconditionally and it will guard and protect you when you need it most.

When you are truly aligned with your inner strength, there is no need to be aggressive, defensive or manipulative. You will radiate a certain calm and confidence that no one will want to mess with!

One way you can do this is to think of all your “shadow” traits – all the personality traits you don’t really like about yourself. Now, see if you can think of the advantages to these “flaws”. You don’t need to indulge these shadow aspects, but when you accept them without judgement you are no longer split – you become whole and strong and this is what true Strength is.
