June Celebrations

We have a lot to celebrate in June! Father’s Day is a time to honor the special men in our lives. June is also the time to celebrate the accomplishments of students. The honoring of “Dads and Grads” has become a tradition in the United States.

Fathers, uncles, grandfathers and mentors are so important to us, both in our childhood and adulthood. They deserve our honor and recognition not just on one day, but every day.

Graduating students are at a time of transition. We celebrate their accomplishments and hold them in our prayers as they take the next step in life.

Whatever it is we are celebrating at this time of year, now is a time to be grateful. We are grateful for the strong men who support and inspire us. We are grateful for the ability to take next steps in our lives. We area grateful for the accomplishments of our children.

We are happy to be able to celebrate these things in the beautiful month of June!

June Tarot Circle Recap

Webex is a convenient platform for on-line Tarot Circle because of its versatility. Some people call in on the telephone, others log in on computers, tablets and smartphones. Some people use their mics and cams, others simply listen to the presentation and chat in the chat room.

This versatility is especially important when we share readings with each other, as we do every month. We are able to have attendees read for each other verbally. We are also able to do one-on-one readings, group readings and discussions in the chat room.

The process of doing readings in Tarot Circle is helpful for a number of reasons. It is an opportunity for newer readers to hone their skills and for experienced readers to share their skills. It is an opportunity for us all to see the infinite number of ways readers can use tarot to derive important and helpful information. And, of course, the folks who receive the readings are happy to get the information they need!

This was the case when Tarot Circle met on June 10th. The three readings we performed in the beginning of our meeting were very helpful in illustrating techniques pertinent to our topic, Card Combinations.

As we delved into our topic, we discussed the many ways cards can combine with each other. Sometimes interpreting card combinations is about analyzing trends in distribution. Sometimes the combinations are graphic – we see how the pictures interact with each other. Sometimes we combine the cards in sequence to tell a story.

Global Tarot Circle has many purposes. It is a time for readers to gather together in fellowship. It is a time to share readings and learn new perspectives on tarot. It is a time for experienced readers to share ideas with newer readers.

Our Next Global Tarot Circle meeting will be July 23 at 7 pm EDT. To join the fun please visit the event listing on the Tarot Circle website.

Christiana’s Trip to Connecticut

I am planning to be in Connecticut from August 2nd to August 11th this summer.

I will be offering a limited number of psychic house parties. If you would like me to visit your home and read for you and your friends in person, please contact me shortly to arrange your date – the calendar is filling up quickly!

I am really looking forward to visiting Connecticut – it has been many years since I have had the opportunity to be there!

A Graduation Tarot Reading

This is a great three-card reading for anyone getting ready to take a next step in life.

Shuffle, and think about your time of transition and your goals.  Arrange the cards in a pyramid. The bottom left card will signify what you have accomplished. The card to the right will signify what you are going to do with your past accomplishments. The card on top will reflect your overall path.

Remember that we are always moving forward, always completing accomplishments and seeking the next advancement in life. This spread is appropriate at any time you feel you are in that place of transition. It is especially appropriate at a time of academic graduation or professional certification.

Honoring our Ancestors in Spirit

Father’s Day can be a poignant time for those of us with male family members in spirit. Sometimes we look at photos, remembering our times together. Sometimes we visit gravesites.

Tarot can help us connect and communicate with our loved ones in spirit. Sometimes it happens without our even asking. The Emperor and the Kings often show up in readings as an indicator that a male loved one in spirit is watching over us.

It is also a valuable technique to simply shuffle your cards and focus on a loved one in spirit.

Ask that person a question like “What do you want me to know?” and pull a few cards. See what message comes to you when you look at the cards.

You will be amazed by the direct way in which those in spirit can communicate with us when we ask them.

Your One-Card Weekly Reading

Your one-card reading this week is the Knight of Wands.

The Knight of Wands is the “seeker of fire.” Knights are always seeking, pursuing and moving toward things. Wands represent the element of Fire, which is our creativity, our passion, our motivation, our spirituality, our humor and our ability to have fun.

In the Waite image, the Knight of Wands is clearly riding on a horse that is way too small. This suggests a goofiness or a sense of humor inherent in this card. Perhaps there is some tendency to be impetuous, or to charge ahead without knowing the details, or to start a task without having the right tools.

The Knight of Wands in a reading might indicate you or someone you know. It might be a younger person, or a person in pursuit of something about which they are passionate.

The Knight of Wands might also come up to encourage you to pursue your passions, your creativity, your ability to have fun and/or your spiritual path.
