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.

The Priestess

This is the picture of a young friend of mine, She happens to be very wise and when I saw her in front of a painting where she worked in I felt I had my image for the priestess in the Tarot deck I was creating.

The priestess is the third Major Arcana card in the deck. The priestess is a reminder to tap into the vastness of our being. She is not bound by time or space yet she is totally grounded in the moment.

If a person were to draw this card during a reading it could signify that they should trust their wisdom, and be true to their spirit. It is time to be authentic. Resourcefulness will help them persevere by putting the hard times behind them.

The Chariot

Taken in Santa Fe in a friend's garden, this picture has an antique miniature chariot filled with an ancient jug. Both of these objects depict the feeling of enduring wisdom and the idea of movement. They embody the resilience and fragility of our life.

This card is number 7 of the major arcana. As a wheel is turning the center is perfectly still. So you must be when it is time to move physically or emotionally. If you were to receive this card it might be a good time to relocate or change something in your living situation or physical surroundings. So it is a good time to practice grounding yourself with meditation and or yoga. Deepen your awareness of the feeling you experience when you breath in and out, watching the expansion and the contraction. Practice at least 10 minutes a day for a week and see if you notice a change in your daily life.

Impressions on some readings

Connection with a young man
A young man came to my table in fatigues,seeming very lost and confused. He had the face of a black Buddha and was discovering, while still in the army, a strong spiritual yearning that had nothing to do with the life he had been leading up to now and was feeling very isolated. I empathized with him realizing what he was facing and I encouraged him to own to his experience no matter what.We both felt suddenly a strong tingling in the spine, I knew his spirit guide was connecting with him, I was grateful that he was validated and felt it would help him endure the remaining of his stay in the army.

As always in such moments, I felt very grateful to witness another human being. This confirmed the amazing mystery and vastness of our spirit. A presense visited us at my table that day and I felt the profound benevolence of the universe.

The Sun

"...Inspire, Create, Motivate Others"
This card is a composite of a sunset in Santa Fe and a little girl in Boulder. The sun is a symbol of vitality and warmth while the child represents the eagerness to learn in playfulness. Together they are the synergy of caring for life and taking responsibility for healing. In the tarot language this card represents the Sun in the major arcana. If a person drew this card it could signify the need to take action, and/or to heal their body. Energy accompanies this card. It is about celebrating life in all aspects and embracing the drama without becoming attached to it.
