The Lovers



The Lovers is the sixth card of the Major Arcana. I took this picture of my daughter and her boyfriend at a party given by my son. After photoshopping it, I liked it so much that I said to myself, "Eureka! This is my card for The Lovers!". I felt I captured a moment where they seemed free of all external distractions and were truly enjoying each other. The way I photoshopped it, they seem to be floating in the universe, which enhances the meaning of the card.

For me this is the card of union from within, finding integration and self-esteem as in the union of two lovers. Once in a while if a person asks a specific question about their love life, they may pull this card. However, it usually pertains to the individual and falling in love with one owns soul at the highest level and taking responsibility for that love. To fall in love with ones soul is to realize why we came on this planet. We are all an aspect of the energy of the universe. And how can we be totally responsible for this realization...by falling in love with life 'as is', bringing a quality of light as in sun and feather.

This love allows us to take the challenge as a peaceful warrior that we have read about. You don't look for love, you look to give love.

Just came back from Santa Fe and what an amazing experience

I was in Santa Fe for a little over 2 weeks stay with friends of mine and also giving readings in an exquisite boutique called Spirit in downtown Santa Fe. I was even able to work outside in the back of the store for the weather was for a few days delicious.

One of my clients was a medium despite herself. By medium I mean she is able to hear people on the other side who haven't left earths plane. She was very restless and not knowing how to close the portal between herself and very demanding and shameful souls. These souls were running her all over town, and ruining her life. I helped her give herself permission to say no, and was able to show her that it stemmed from her wanting to please everyone. She seemed to calm down after the reading and the rest is up to her.

It is an art to be able to see what is right for us and what is wise in any giving situation. What is the truth? Are you able to see it? As humans we have the tendency to turn our heads and avoid confrontation because we are afraid of not knowing how to handle the difficult situation. It is better to be clumsy at first, than to wait 20 years! But, even after 20 years, if you become brave enough to face the music you are earning your wings.
