How Success Shows Up in Tarot Readings–The Six of Wands

Even though they don’t know what each tarot card individually means, lots of people read their own, making up a spread that seems right in the moment. It’s a quick way to get a feel for whether something is good or bad. The vibe from one card or the whole schmeer helps them make a choice.

How does success show up in a tarot reading, and what are some details about a specific card that denotes success, which further illuminate the situation?

Six of wands: In the Waite deck picture, a young man with a very straight back is astride a horse. The horse is tricked out in a cape, the staff the young man carries has a victory wreath on it, and the basic feel from it is triumph/ It looks like someone victorious going into battle, and they’re going to win again.

The kind of victory is determined by the element in which the action is taking place. Wands are associated with fire, and fire is associated with literal activity, whatever it is you are actually doing. The kind of success it’s talking about is: your plan is working, you are taking successful action.

There are other qualifiers to the kind of success the tarot is showing, as even one card, reflecting so many systems of correspondences, is contextual. The number six, the other cards around it in the spread, the element position in the spread it falls on…but the most important one is that it’s talking about some real world activity, and likely one that comes naturally to you.

New Orleans Jazz Fest Update and May Horoscopes

Dear Friends,
I’m in New Orleans, in the midst of the greatest music festival on earth. Last night, at the re-opening of the historic Carver Theater, Big Chief Donald Harrison and his fantastic band gave me a new appreciation of jazz. Today is the beginning of the second weekend and I’m about to bike furiously over to the Fairgrounds (It’s held on a racetrack with 12 stages, and scattered around are food booths with amazingly great dishes.) The music starts a little after 11 and goes until 7 pm.
Here are May horoscopes, and for the rest of the newsletter, check back on May 7th. I want to tell you all about the extremely fascinating lecture I went to in Oakland, California, about ways in which stones have been used in our antiquity and on other planets to expand awareness and communication.

May 2014 Psychic Horoscopes for the Fire, Water, Air and Earth signs

New Earth signs message: I just found this May horoscope on my recorder, it’s not the one I published on May 1st on my blog.

From an April 25 divinationin New Orleans: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Earth signs: How you express yourself creatively seems to be changing. What it is that you think is a good thing to do be doing, is changing. You’re developing new formats and themes, it’s like you never stop changing, all the way through to the Fall. A change that you initiate now becomes much clearer in October.

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Fire signs: A lot of things get settled this May. You get things right that have been wrong for a long time. It’s a month with so many twists and turns, you learn to keep things simple. You learn what you want from people and what they want from you. You make very important decisions now, because now you can trust people, situations, and yourself, much more. July will be great!

Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Water signs: Time to move! Time to go on.. Time for the next level, the big leap because of what you’ve learned and what you now have the courage to do, leave behind, and graduate to. You are going to be happier even though you can’t see yet where you are going. It’s bigger, it’s better, and it fits your more courageous self.

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Air signs: You’ve got situations to deal with– to make things right you have to pass through fire, be honest, and cut out what’s not working. Anything you’ve waited to address is now unavoidable. The new moon eclipse April 29th tells you you must act to align yourself with freedom, expansion, and positive developments. Wield a sword of discernment and you’ll cut a path to the light.

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Earth signs: This is a very strong “go ahead” month for you. You’re in a good place… don’t pay attention to other peoples’ fate–yours is great! It’s because you’re doing or embarking on something that really fits you, that has legs to move and grow, too. So just keep thinking big! Enjoy yourself and the bright future you can see.
