The Tarot reading from May 16 through May 22, 2015 encourages you to focus on the task at hand and pay less attention to the possible rewards that may be in the offering. It also warns against seeking a specific reward because you may find it is less satisfying than you had hoped. Defeat is a possibility, but that's not necessarily a negative.
Card 1: Eight of Pentacles—Approach the situation with the eye of a skilled craftsman. Study the situation, learn as you go, keep your eye on the details, and don't get caught up in perfection. Do not dwell on the results or even the rewards that are offered. Keep your mind in the moment.
Card 2: Queen of Cups—Someone may be keeping secrets, but they're only trying to help. This card is also warning you to have some empathy for the nature of human frailty. No one is perfect, after all. Mistakes are inevitable, but they're not the end of the world.

Card 5: The Sun—You are emerging from a time of love and warm. Keep that memory close as you forge ahead. Let past success empower you and don't dwell on your failures.
Card 6: The Star—It's a good idea to take some time to heal and revitalize on a spiritual and a physical level. Surround yourself with those things that relax you and bring you pleasure. Visualize positive energy and it will manifest itself in your life.
Card 7: Queen of Swords—You may need to evolve into an independent thinker who sees ideas and knowledge as powers to be utilized. You may have to strike off on your own, but take care that this independence doesn't turn you into a rigid prude.
Card 8: The High Priestess—Try to be considerate and respectful of the opinions and feelings of others. Listen more than you talk and trust your instincts. All of this will pay off in the end.
Card 9: The Hermit—Some will see you as wise beyond your years and respect you for it. Others may think you're a little dogmatic in your way of thinking. Take a moment to consider if any of this is really true. If you're going to reach your goals, you'll have to be honest with yourself.
Card 10: The Hanged Man—Though you hope you'll finally have the time in everyday life to look at things from a different perspective, you fear you'll feel trapped no matter how you try to change the way you think. But fear will hold you back, so turn things on their head and see what happens.
Card 11: Five of Swords—Defeat is close at hand, but it may be of the indirect type. Instead of actually failing, you might get what you want but find it completely unsatisfying. Don't indulge in blame and revenge. Instead use this time to sow the seeds of future successes.

Card 2: Seven of Pentacles—You may find yourself feeling frustrated or even impotent at times. You might even feel ingratitude if you don't receive what you expected. Try expecting nothing. Count the blessings you have instead of pining for those you don't. Focus on the present, on your goals, and you'll soon find yourself moving forward.
Card 3: King of Swords—A lack of intellectualism or planning may hinder progress. Theories may fail when put to the test, so don't jump in without a solid plan. Value the intellectual contributions of others, but don't forget to value your own intellect as well. You are the driving force here.
Card 4: Two of Wands—Crucial to any success is the ability to step back and assess the current situation while planning for the future. Try to be as free of distractions as possible as you map out your plans. You'll have a better chance at spotting all the little details this way. Stay calm and don't lose perspective.
Card 5: Wheel of Fortune—The recent past, while likely involved a time of danger and risky opportunities, is over. You can now enter into a new cycles without any of that hanging around your neck. It is time to make your own luck and forge your own path toward success. This may mean, however, that your more free-wheeling days are over.
Card 6: Six of Swords—Challenges are everywhere, so it might be helpful to see them as rites of passage. If you can pass through them, you'll find that you gain both power and wisdom. Conquer the seemingly-inexhaustible number of challenges you currently face and you'll be richly rewarded.
Card 7: Eight of Pentacles—Hard work and attention to detail are absolutely necessary if you are to achieve your goals. But success depends on moving forward, so don't be a perfectionist. You'll only stagnate if you insist on perfection.
Card 8: The Fool—If you want to achieve success, present yourself as someone who is trusting an innocent. Do not fear the future, but move steadily toward it. Approach the situation with a sense of humor, and insist that others do the same, and things will be easier for all involved. Trust that you've done the things you need to do.
Card 9: Knight of Wands—Others may notice your ambition, and even comment on it. You appear to everyone to be on the move as your pursue your goal. Because they perceive this of you, they may be more than willing to help you achieve success. Take advantage of that. Ignore those who only see you as overbearing and unable to take a breath. You're on a mission at the moment.
Card 10: King of Cups—You may hope that you can deal with strong emotions both creatively and effectively, but you fear this may not be the case. You may even fear the effects of jealously. But fear won't help you now. Time to cope with the situation.
Card 11: Ace of Swords—Triumph, in all its forms, is yours. You will conquer lies and ignorance. You will tackle adversity and come out the better for it. And while you're celebrating your accomplishments, a brilliant new idea will suddenly reveal itself. And so you revel in your triumph just as you set out on a new path. Full circle, one might say.

Card 1: The Devil—You may feel that you need something desperately and you may be willing to do anything, even something you know is wrong, to attain your goals. But this is a risky thing and it may or may not pay off in the end. Either way, outright deception is going to backfire.
Card 2: Six of Wands—Conditions favor victory, but that doesn't mean success will come easily. You're more likely to get what you want if you truly desire it and are willing to go after it. Short-term victories can turn into long-term victories if you're willing to share your success with those who have been instrumental in helping you achieve your goals.
Card 3: Queen of Wands—A lack of inspiration can really get in the way right now, but you'll need more than inspiration to make any progress. Hard work combined with inspiration is definitely the way to go, but this combination may be difficult to come by. Focus and get moving.
Card 4: Four of Wands—If you want to be successful, you have to be ready to commit for the long term. Finish what you start and make sure you celebrate your successes with those closest to you. Supporting others is important to attaining their support in your own ventures, so reach out.
Card 5: The High Priestess—Things may have been chaotic lately, or perhaps it's just seemed as if you had absolutely no control over what the Fates were up to. This is coming to and end now, allowing you to seize control over the immediate future. And while this is a good thing, don't forget the lessons learned.
Card 6: Five of Wands—A competitive atmosphere is a good thing, but compete with some respect and you'll find everything goes just a little smoother. Don't fight just for the sake of fighting. There will come a time when you'll need that energy.
Card 7: The Star—Relaxation and healing are about to become quite important. Though you'll have to work hard for what you want, you'll also need to know the value of rest. Be prepared to take a break if things become overwhelming.
Card 8: Four of Swords—You'll need more than a break from stress if you want to attain your goal. You'll have to actually find a quiet space to reflect and consider the situation. Don't be rushed into anything and don't let anyone talk you into something that's not in your best interest.
Card 9: The Tower—Some may see you as wild, dangerous, and willing to risk anything for what you want. There is some truth to this, especially because this is a time to be unafraid of change. There might be some who accuse you of trying to destroy the status quo. Ignore them.
Card 10: Knight of Wands—You are truly hoping to achieve your goals, but you fear the drastic changes you'll have to make to accomplish them. You have two choices. You can conquer this fear and move forward or you can abandon your plans. Choose one and commit.
Card 11: Queen of Cups—Whether you achieved your goal or not has been highly dependent upon your own choices. Either way, compassion right now is important. Compassion for those you may have hurt on the way here. Compassion for yourself as you let your high ideals go. The ups and downs of this journey may not have given you want you want, but there's still a lesson to be learned.
The Tarot reading from January 31 through February 6, 2015 promises eventual success and celebration, but not without hardship. Nothing worth having ever comes easily, so be prepared to struggle as you strive to attain your goal. A new way of doing things might be helpful as well.
Card 1: The Moon—You might not have a clear picture of where you are or even of where you're going, but you need to get moving anyway. Don't fear the unknown, but rather embrace it. A little faith in yourself will go a long way.
Card 2: Page of Swords—Information, ideas, and theories surround you. Don't let them sneak away. Firm plans may serve you well. A clever person will be most helpful to you right now.
Card 3: King of Pentacles—Pragmatism is great, but not when it gets in the way of progress. Don't ignore hard facts, but don't be afraid to move forward without them either. Lack of sophistication may hamper you.
Card 4: The Fool—In order to get what you want you may have to trust that innocence and truth will eventually win out. Don't overanalyze. There is a place for harsh pragmatism and a place for faith. Faith should take precedence now.
Card 5: Two of Swords—The time for practical balance and blind justice is fading. It may now be time to break from the typical way of doing things. You'll have to compromise if you want to break free of the past.
Card 6: The Hierophant—The blessings of family, friends, and those in authority will be helpful now, especially for your own sense of righteousness. This will give you the confidence you need to keep going.
Card 7: Nine of Swords—Get some rest and be prepared to deal with problems head on. This isn't the time to be a martyr, so confront your fears before they turn into obsessions. Paranoia won't serve you now, so see things as they are, not as you think they are.
Card 8: Judgement—Try to be the kind of person who has mastered the art of decision-making. Think about all possible options, then choose one and move forward. Sitting around without making a choice isn't going to get you where you want to go.
Card 9: The Empress—Others may see you as a source of great creativity. Embrace this and even indulge your creative side. As you do so, be prepared to discover something that will help you attain your goals.
Card 10: The Tower—You may fear that disaster will strike as you grow nearer your goal. But dwelling on it only makes it more likely to happen. Stop looking for what you fear and instead look to the future.
Card 11: Three of Cups—If you have something wonderful to celebrate, it's always nice to celebrate it with those closest to you. Let others in on your joy as you accomplish your goal. Don't forget to thank those who helped you get here.

Card 1: The World—A higher level of understanding is required for you to enjoy real success. This is a time of culmination, so honor it by meeting your potential. An old cycle is coming to an end, so leave inappropriate habits and feelings behind.
Card 2: Four of Swords—You are surrounded by calm detachment. Forces are pushing you toward seclusion, giving you the opportunity to examine your thoughts and feelings without distractions or unnecessary stress. This may come in handy.
Card 3: Death—Your progress is being blocked by too little transformation. Growth is being inhibited by fear of change. Set aside this fear if you want to advance.
Card 4: Eight of Wands—It is important that you make sure intentions are clear and well understood before any action is taken or precious time will be wasted. Keep communications open and flowing if you want to achieve success.
Card 5: The Devil—The material world has been entirely too seductive lately, but this is fading now. Act with subtlety and try not to be influenced by lust, trickery, or selfishness.
Card 6: Queen of Pentacles—It's a good idea to be protective of your own good fortune, and the good fortune of those closest to you. You have power and influence, even if you don't know it yet. See yourself as powerful and you will become so.
Card 7: Knight of Pentacles—You may have to play the role of the reliable and dependable provider in the near future. Say or do whatever it takes to get the job done, but don't compromise your dearest principles.
Card 8: Page of Pentacles—Don't be afraid to get dirty in pursuit of your goals. Show others you're willing to put in some honest work if it means you gain something from it. But now is not the time to do something for nothing.
Card 9: Ace of Cups—Others may see you as someone who can give and receive love unconditionally. They rely on your compassion to get through life. But someone may be looking to take advantage of you, so be wary.
Card 10: Three of Swords—Though you may hope you can successfully cope with the sorrow and pain that may be heading your way, you also fear that you will not be able to. But sorrow is healed by unconditional love and compassion, so don't be afraid to lean on those who lean on you.

The Tarot reading from January 17 through January 23, 2015 promises that a wish may be fulfilled, but it may be an unexpected wish or it may be granted in an unexpected way. Your power or status may take a bit of a jump, but you won't get what you want unless you get the help of a respected someone.
Card 1: Nine of Cups—You really need to clarify what it is you're hoping for. You may see a wish being granted, but this will happen in its own time. Your time will be ignored. Make the most of the good that is coming to you and make sure you are wishing for what is truly best for you and yours. Frivolous hopes will be wasted.
Card 2: Three of Cups—You may find yourself surrounded by supportive friends. This will likely bring you laughter, celebration, and hospitality. People and events may suddenly remind you to be grateful for what you have in life. Don't miss the opportunity to join in the fun.
Card 3: Two of Swords—You might find your progress blocked by taking an ill-timed break. If you're not very careful, what starts out as a compromise will turn quickly into surrender and may even result in a sacrifice you don't want to make. It's time to restore balance and move forward.
Card 4: Two of Pentacles—You better learn how to cope with change and you'd better learn fast because it's coming. Insecurity and change are often bedmates, but this doesn't have to be so for you. Stay flexible, versatile, and informed if you want to weather the storm.
Card 5: Justice—It used to be that truth was quickly revealed and justice generally prevailed. Unfortunately, this time is waning. The influence of rules and laws is fading, and this doesn't bode well for the immediate future. Try to recapture the rule of law if you can.
Card 6: Seven of Pentacles—Frustration may threaten to overwhelm this week, so cope with those feelings before they get out of hand. You have more potential than you realize, so try to see the greater picture.
Card 7: Eight of Swords—Indecision looms before you. There are times when the best decision is to make no decision at all, and this just might be one of them. It might be time to relax and observe until the right decision becomes apparent. But don't hesitate too long.
Card 8: Ace of Cups—If you want to get the most out of this situation, present yourself as someone who knows how to give and receive love unconditionally. Show compassion and love to others and you'll only benefit from it.
Card 9: Five of Pentacles—You might appear as having to deal with stress and anxiety, and that's not far from the truth. This is worrying to those closest to you, however. They're know you're having a rough time but are unsure of how to help. Try asking for specific help so you can cope with what's happening with a little more ease.
Card 10: Six of Cups—You may find yourself hoping that you'll be able to recapture the joy and purity of the past, but you also fear that the nostalgia may be too far gone to find again. Paradise may be lost, but not forgotten, so don't be afraid to indulge a little.
Card 11: The Emperor—The power and status you've been craving may finally be yours, though you'll likely need the help of an established authority figure to attain it. The resources to get what you want should come together and allow you to finally attain your goal. You may even be recognized as an authority figure in your own right.
The Tarot reading for January 10 through January 16, 2015 promises a sunny outcome provided you have some support in the matter. Effort and even a little sacrifice may be required to reach your end goal, but it's all doable with just a little persistence.
Card 1: Ten of Pentacles—You'll need the safety and security of your past to move into the future. If you're careful and conservative, you'll surely succeed.
Card 2: Ten of Wands—You may find yourself surrounded by oppression, and this oppression may require more of you than you have to give. Even though you may feel stressed and totally overwhelmed, this is not the time to give up. Do what you have to do, not what you want to do, but conserve your energy. More might be coming your way.
Card 3: Ace of Swords—Optimism is a good thing, but being blind is not. Failure is always a possibility so plan for it. This way you'll be ready when something happens. Also remember not to push too hard. There is a time to push and a time to let things happen. Learn to judge the difference.
Card 4: The Chariot—Life right now is a little like a competition, and most competitions require organization, determination, and confidence to win. You'll need all these things now. Be patient, but be ready. You may have to move quickly to achieve victory.
Card 5: Ace of Wands—Passion for new opportunities may have driven you in the past, but this passion may fade shortly. Try to recapture it and take it with you into the future. It may just pay off.
Card 6: Two of Wands—Planning is the key to everything. Take some time to map things out and work to see the big picture before you act. Seeing what is coming is the first step in either avoiding it or taking advantage of it.
Card 7: Justice—You will get what you deserve in the near future, but what you deserve may not be what you want. Things are rebalancing themselves, especially those things involving finance or the law. Truth and justice will win out if you strive for them.
Card 8: The World—Step out of the shadows and look forward to the next cycle of your life. Be aware of global matters and have a more long-range attitude if you want to accomplish your goals. There's more to your plans than what lies right beneath your nose.
Card 9: The Lovers—Some people in your life might describe you as infatuated, even obsessed, with the new. Others see you as dissatisfied with the general way things have been. They might be right.
Card 10: Eight of Cups—You might be hoping to avoid any significant sacrifice in pursuit of your goal, but you also fear this may be impossible. The truth is that how much you are willing to sacrifice will determine exactly how much you gain.

Card 2: Six of Cups—This week you'll find yourself surrounded by innocent joy. Expect to be reminded of days gone by, but only in the best of ways. You may also require the aid of a joyous person from your past to accomplish your goals.
Card 3: Eight of Pentacles—You'll need to abandon perfection this week and focus on the practical. The two can coexist, but not right now. A lack of finesse isn't always a bad thing. Beware a finicky person who might cause a problem or two.
Card 4: Eight of Cups—Success is certainly possible this week, but not without significant sacrifice. You will have to turn your back on something and never look back if you want to achieve your objective. Look at the situation carefully before deciding if the sacrifice is worth it.
Card 5: Queen of Swords—Past ideas regarding independence are still clinging to the present situation. These ideas may still be useful, but only if they are used without regard to emotion. On another note, the influence of someone strong and independent may finally be fading.
Card 6: Knight of Wands—Ambitions are good, especially if they become your reality. Visualize what you want to accomplish and you are one step closer to getting what you want. Ignore the naysayers.

Card 11: The outcome will be full of nothing but a sense of satisfaction and completion. Hard work and careful planning will eventually pay off. But don't get too comfortable. An important date is on the horizon.

Card 1: The Lovers— You need to choose wisely between two equally attractive things or people. But you will only be able to choose wisely if you feel satisfied with who and what you are right now. Get in touch with what is truly attractive to you before making your decision, because once the decision is made, there is no going back.
Card 2: Two of Wands — Excessive planning will get in the way. Taking too much time to think or having too many plans to pursue is counterproductive. Get your plans in order and focus on one thing at a time.
Card 3: The World — Pay attention to the realities of your life as it is and bring your expectations in line with what is real and true. The world and your situation is evolving, and you can also evolve if you open your eyes. Plans can come full circle, but only if you can see the entire picture.

Card 6: Four of Swords — You will soon evaluate the necessity of seclusion, detachment, and retreat. These may be methods for accomplishing your goals, so be prepared to spend some quality time with yourself. In this way you might be able to avoid unnecessary pair and stress.
Card 7: The Hermit — You are surrounded by sources of good advice, but you must be willing to seek them out and ask for help. Get out of your routine and use introspection for self-mastery. Being a little eccentric may help you now, but don't take it too extremes.
Card 8: The High Priestess — Others may see you as intuitive and deeply spiritual. Some think you are mysterious and powerful because you seem connected to forces outside the normal range of perception. Chaos does not seem to affect you like it does other people.
Card 9: The Magician — You hope you are clever and skillful enough to transform your situation in a way that benefits you, but you fear you might not be able to. You may fear your own power or the more esoteric aspects of life.
Card 10: The Fool — Knowing how to trust and inspire trust in others is a valuable quality. A new cycle or adventure will begin. Look at each part of the situation as if you're seeing it for the first time. Enjoy this and learn what you can. Try to go with the flow.

Card 2: Nine of Cups — A lack fulfillment blocks progress. Present goals may not be in your own best interets. A wish fulfilled may not truly satisfy you. Look deeper if you're hoping for true satisfaction. Expecting things to happen in a certain way can keep you from seeing something important.

Card 8: Knight of Swords — Others may see you as ingenious, clever, and outspoken. They believe that you are not afraid to respond directly or to fight for an idea. Most see that you can turn ideas into reality with skill and foresight. Now is the time to take advantage of this, even if some people thing you are frustrated and a little too aggressive.
Card 9: The Sun — You hope that everything will be sunny and bright, but fear this may be too much to expect. Ideals and goals are tenuous and can escape if you hold them too tightly. But the process of attaining these goals can satisfy as much as getting what you want.
Card 10: Knight of Wands — Ambition will rule the day for good or ill. Think before you act or your goals will slip away from you. Too much movement may incite quarrels. Stay calm and harness your passion and you will go far.
