Tarot Newsletter - new website and other news!

It feels as though Spring is finally here, with all the fruit trees in blossom, and the weather finally coming out of its long cold snap. I'm feeling less "cave-like" and more "Spring" in my step for sure!

Because of that, I finally completed a long-postponed project: I've completely re-vamped my website! It's based on Wordpress, so the site is more interactive - I'll be able to post Tarot and other metaphysical related writings, it has a real Testimonials page that YOU can enter what you really think of me, an easily maintainable Calendar of Events based on Google calendar, and a pretty cool menu bar (sorry, I'm still a techo-geek at heart - too many years as a programmer!). I want to give a shout-out to my ISP support folks at WebHostingLogic.com - Adam and Andrew jumped in and helped at the last minute, and got my site through its birthing pains in a gracious and beyond helpful manner. If you're looking for a host for your website, they are the best! Please check out my new, improved website at www.positivelysuccess.com and tell me what you think!

At the end of this newsletter, I'm going to share the results of the second spread we did in our Spreads for the New Year workshop, so it will be a rather longer one than usual.

Good news for my East Bay friends: I will be at an Angel Fair April 13 from 10am - 4pm in Pleasanton. So come get a personal reading for what you can start planting for the Spring! The address is:
Milfleur
200 Ray Street
Pleasanton, CA 94566

I will NOT be at the East West Bookshop psychic fair April 6 or 7, because I will be teaching a private Tarot class. If that's something you'd like to organize, let me know. Get 5-6 of your friends together, find a place (living rooms generally work fine, as long as there's table space to lay out the cards), and we'll work out a date! If you live in the South Bay, go to the Psychic Fair to visit my friend and co-author Master Numerologist Michael Bisbiglia, who will be doing readings April 6 - he's amazing!

More good news: Even though I added 5 more people to my workshop series in January, I wasn't able to let everyone in. So, I will be teaching my Beginning Tarot series again in June, so if you missed it earlier and you want to take it, you need to sign up for it now - there's a limit of 15 people this time, and I'm giving you an advance notice BEFORE East West's magazine comes out. See below for details.

Tarot for the New Year
Spread 2 - Whole Life Mandala Spread (thanks to James Wanless for this one)

Again, the cards we picked for this spread were so perfect, you'd think I designed the reading on purpose! But I solemnly swear that the cards were picked randomly by the people in the class - they all have their notes to back it up! We picked from the Voyager Tarot deck by James Wanless; the names for his cards in some cases are a little different than the standard Smith-Waite deck.

Self: Moon
The Moon card denotes the Unconscious as well as cycles. Pay attention to your own personal cycles this year; make sure you schedule time for YOU when you need it, so your subconscious doesn't have to bother you about it.

Head: 9 of Crystals (9 of Swords) - Narrowness
Although in other decks, the 9 of Swords looks like the aftermath of a nightmare, it usually reminds me of waking up in the middle of the night remembering something I've forgotten to say or do. So, keep your focus and you'll sleep more soundly!

Heart: 6 of Cups - Sorrow
Since 2013 represents the year after the great Transformation of 2012, you want to make sure you pay proper attention to those actions, ways of being, people and others that you have released or been detached from. Allow yourself the time and space to grieve for what was lost in the past, so you can more easily pay attention to your path going forward.

Health: 7 of Worlds (7 of Coins/Pentacles/Discs) - Breakthrough
Another card representing the the Transformation of 2012, this time of the body. I've heard so many people falling sick these past few months, some of them over and over again. It's time to let go of what doesn't serve your body! If there's something you know you should be doing, start taking those small steps toward making your body the temple it can truly be, so you can be the radiant God/Goddess you are!

Holy: 3 of Wands - Compassion
Close to 7 billion human beings live on our wonderful planet. Each of them has a unique outlook and spiritual path, including you. Celebrate your uniqueness and honor everyone else's: you'd be surprised by the things you may have in common. If someone disagrees with you, that's okay - it's their path, it doesn't make them wrong, just different. Let's heal the divisiveness that seems to be gaining momentum.

Feminine: Child of Wands (Page of Wands) - Seeker
Engage your natural curiosity about your path this year. Avoid jumping to conclusions or sticking in a rut, and let your mind be softer and more intuitive.

Masculine: Man of Cups (King or Knight of Cups) - Surfer
The theme of "allowing" continues, "allowing" yourself to ride on the surface of emotions, not stuffing them, but noticing them as they go through you. A friend who used to work with inner city boys said that these kids only had two allowable emotions: angry and not. Try exploring some others, and remember that even if you fall off the surfboard, it's attached - just climb back on board and carry on.

Money: Man of Wands (King or Knight of Wands) - Actor
Fake it till you make it! The only way to heal your relationship with Money is to allow yourself the energy it represents. The way to do that is to pretend to feel it until you really do feel it.

Work: Child of Crystals (Page of Swords) - Learner
Let yourself learn new things at whatever you 'work' on. Pretend you're coming to the job on the first day - what would you learn and how would you find out? Maybe you need to update or even create "desk instructions" for your successor!

Home: 8 of Worlds (8 of Coins/Pentacles/Discs) - Change
See what you can change around your house. Maybe it needs to be as big as moving; maybe as simple as organizing one aspect of your house. Try creating a corner of sacred space; if you already have one, see if there's something new you can do with it to make it fresh and renew your sense of Spirit.

Love: Fool
What better way to be in Love! Be risk taking, adventurous, do something fun & outrageous. Maybe you need to seek out new horizons by yourself or with someone else.
