distance tarot is my specialty

The nice thing about short-term planning is that the plan doesn’t have to stick together for very long.

Here is what I have in mind for Spring. No promises that it will actually turn out this way, but it’s what I’m aiming for:

Short sip posts most weekday mornings
Weekend Tarot Turnover posts on the …. ah…..weekend. Prolly Saturdays
YouChoose Interactive Tarot once each week. Maybe.
Random other posts like Oracle’s Toolkit will be … ah …random
Closed Sundays and U.S. holidays. If the Fed is closed, so am I ’cause I’ll be with hubster on his days off.
In-person and party Tarot will remain closed until Allegheny county covid transmission rates return to low (as reported by the CDC)
Email Tarot is OPEN – NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED
Online Zoom readings are OPEN with appointment – email to schedule
Still lots of different email layouts available with prices $5 – $40
More new stuff on the horizon. Keep a weather eye, matey. I’m hoping you’ll think it is really cool.
Distance Tarot is still my specialty
I still have – gasp – 30 years experience with reading cards.

Thank you so much for listening, watching and reading TaoCraft Short Sip Tarot. It’s a Tarot reading for your day in the time it takes to sip from your morning coffee. Or afternoon coffee. Or whatever beverage you enjoy.

Today’s card is the ace of cups.

Ace cards carry the essence of their suit of cards. In many ways they are the most abstract cards of the minor arcana. Being the first card of the suit, there is also a trace of connection to the Fool card, the first of major arcana cards. All of them connect to the idea of beginnings and newness in one way or another.

While cups cards are often read as symbolizing romantic relationships, they also include other inner circle relationships, both our family of birth and our family of heart. In the abstract, cups are connected with water, intuition, and emotions

Deep running emotions are sometimes a double edged sword. They can get us through our most difficult moments in life. Lau Tzu, writer of the Tao Te Ching is credited with saying that being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Strong emotions can also be paralyzing instead of strengthening. Frank Herbert describes fear as “the little death that leads to total obliteration.”

Either way, emotions have real world implications and effects. At a minimum, emotions affect our experience of life. They aren’t necessarily a bad thing. Emotions can be difficult to face, and difficult to experience, but that isn’t to say they should be suppressed with stoicism to rival Mr Spock from Star Trek. Emotions don’t have to take over and run the show, either.

I’m not sure who first said it this way, but my first encounter with the notion that “the feeling is the power” was in a book by Scott Cunningham.

In a middle way approach, we can have a relationship with emotion that empowers life. Emotion can motivate and enrich. Emotion can work in balance with logic and intuition.

Whatever day you are reading or listening to this, whatever day this card crosses your path, this may be your clue that it is a day to listen to your emotions. If you can’t follow your heart 100%, at least give it a listen. Allow your honest emotions to be heard and they may help you to begin something new and wonderful. Follow the feels to find the power.
