April is upon us then, sometimes it feels like months creep up on me. March was, well, better than February for me, and here is April already showing more force and initiative. Good. The knight of cups has a desire, to hone his vision and commit in order to fortify that which he seeks to … Continue reading Galloping with the winds of change

Aiming for the heart
I've been using the Centennial Smith-Waite Tarot of late, keeping it next to me on my night table and going deeper in my connection with the deck. Thus I will be using the deck for this month's augury. This month simmers with questions of authority and power. Swinging spears and coming up against what remains … Continue reading Aiming for the heart
A wreath above my head
This is the long overdue cartomantic forecast or augury for January. Given that I am slinging the cards and writing this mid-January, the augury looks at the second part of the month. This one will be brief. January holds a wreath over our heads, sending us into a state of somnolence. What we've achieved as … Continue reading A wreath above my head
Watering the barren tree
I promise I shuffled the deck for a good minute and cut it thrice and all that jazz. Alas, this is wyrd.December is panning out to be an interesting month, two Aces and two Queens hug the ominous 5 of spades. Let's look into the heart and water the barren soil so that the branches … Continue reading Watering the barren tree
Through the forest darkly
I don't know about you, but the month of October was brutal for me, my heart was crushed several times. I had to put down my 15 year old cat, she was sick, and the experience of taking her to the vet to put her to sleep was horrible. Issues at my job rose up … Continue reading Through the forest darkly
Substantiating action
So it is that time again, October is upon us, which means an augury. Unwavering, gripping the sword and cutting through the obstacles that bar the way. More than cutting, it is also about substantiating this action, making concrete a goal and taking the steps towards building the scaffolding that will provide the interim space … Continue reading Substantiating action
The hand that feeds you
September is picking up pace and looking much better than the past couple months. I have to be honest, these past months have been rough. My day job has been more demanding, my spiritual practice has been fraught with consistent disturbances, and my health has been like a seesaw. As I was shuffling the cards … Continue reading The hand that feeds you
Anything but a walk in the park
Love and interest went out for a walk, and with bitterness reconciled their differences. August will be a month where what we want will be in conflict with our heart, and perhaps even in conflict with where we are being led. Occasionally we will find these conflicts creating turmoil, at other moments we might … Continue reading Anything but a walk in the park
The paths ahead
I am back from a brief hiatus, I apologize for those who follow this site. Besides May and June being a dense month for me, I also re-evaluated my screen time and better organized my day for optimal health. This meant that I had to reschedule the time spent in front of my computer, reduce … Continue reading The paths ahead
Portals of insight
This month we look through portals of possibilities to maneuver our way through obstacles that block our path. Satiety and potential, dominate as we peek through the window of what could be, what can be, and what needs to be cut. Ingenuity guides our vision, but beware not to be led astray into the land … Continue reading Portals of insight
