Weekly Tarot Card Reading January 31 to February 6, 2015

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.

Weekly Tarot Reading: January 24 to January 30, 2015

The Tarot reading from January 24 through January 30, 2015 promises an end to an old cycle. Endings are also beginnings, so look for something new and exciting on the horizon. This won't just happen, however, so be prepared to go after what you want.

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.

Card 11: Page of Cups—You will have to treat the situation with kid gloves, but if you do it's entirely possible that you will achieve your desires. Someone new, something of your own making, is heading toward you at full speed, so get ready.

Weekly Tarot Reading: January 17 to January 23, 2015

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.

Weekly Tarot Reading: January 10 to January 16, 2015

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 11: The Sun—After some hardship and sacrifice, you will finally enter a period of radiance. Innocence and joy will return to your life and you will be victorious in achieving your goal. Family and friends will want to share in the brilliance.
