Tarot and Astrology Life Solutions

Hi everyone,

I have been busy with work. Also I am an accounting student at the moment to refresh my knowledge from 10 years ago. I also joined a gym to improve my health. For the last 2 weeks I took time off from everything including school and gym to renew and recharge. Starting on Thursday I will be re-starting full force. 

Sometimes in order to move forward we need to take a step backwards, to do nothing, to stand still in order to see how far I have got until now, to contemplate what I have achieved and what I need to do next. This is the main message also given by the 7 of Coins. 

The book writing is still in the works, so please be patient. It should be done before the end of this year.

Love and light,

HP

I totally recommend Light Seer's Tarot deck- is my favorite deck at the moment

 Hi Everyone,

Happy Bithday to me! Tomorrow is my 50th birthday aniversary. Yes, half a century of living on this planet, it does feel like a great accomplishment. I would like to give few words of wisdom to my faithful blog readers and to everyone else happening to stop by. 

#1 not being married nor in a relationship feels great, grace to my parents, my best friend and my ex husband who make my life easy to live. 

#2 solo parenting of teeanage son is proved to be a challenge and still something I need to get better at 

#3 don't need a lot of money to feel happy

#4 looking back I would have done a lot of things completely differently- my biggest regretts are dating the wrong people and making poor choices in love. I have few or no regretts regarding financial choices. 

#5 I have a deja vue feeling that I will marry again and have a new baby. Don't know how and when, I just know that I will. 

#6 Just let my enemies know, that I am not dead yet and I will be back to get things straight. When I am not sentimental, not lead by emotions I can keep a cool head and I can make the right decisions for myself. I am going to win this time. 

#7 Dragon Fly/ the Magician- the "ghostly, imgainary friend" I used for inspiration in writing many articles in this blog- will be back in my new articles.

#8 I am not psychic, and I use Tarot mostly for therapeutical purposes

 Hi everyone,

I have noticed a lot of people went reading my blog posts from back in 2009- but who I was back then is no longer who I am right now. I am a different person now, not only 14 years older but a spiritually new born person. I used to be in love, hurt, vengeful and resentful towards the people who wronged me, but I learned to forget about all that. I am not ready to forgive them, but I am willing to forget about them. 

Next week I m starting my 2 weeks vacation and I m planning to turn this blog into a book. I have not decided what kind of book is going to be: just a tarot journal book, or a bio including some politcal thoughts  as well. This blog has helped me heal my past wounds and was used mostly as personal therapy in the process of healing from a big trauma. I am even considering writing up 2 versions of the book- one just commercial keeping things lighter- tarot focused and another more fact based/ biographical. 

So, please excuse my leave of absence for the next 3 weeks or so!

Love and light!

 Hi everyone,

it has been some time I did not post in here... I just decided to take some time off from online. 

Meanwhile I have been deeply disappointed that both my online spiritual magazines from Apple Store have been cancelled. It has been really difficult couple of months since I was really dependent upon reading these magazines and now they are gone. I was buying them every month for the last 2 -3 years. Anyway I had to fill in the gap with other books about mindfulness, manifestation and astrology. 

I am currently reading... at very slow pace Manifest Dive Deeper by Roxie Nafousi. I already read her first book Manifest - 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life. It is easy to read and to understand, and can be broken down in small pieces to be read every night before bed, or whenever you have time to do so.

At the same time I m also reading the positive motivational book You Can Heal your Life by Louise Hay. She had a wonderful long life and her books is full of positive affirmations and encourages positive thinking in order to change our lives. Change your thoughts in order to change your life. This book comes as a recommendation from another book I m reading slow pace - Ask and it is given: learning to manifest your desires by Esther and Jerry Hicks. 

Personally the hardest part in the manifestation process is to focus on the things I want, since it seems I am not sure what I really want. Sometimes I wish for some things, and other time for other things... It becomes impossible to realize something I don t even know what I want. ...That is why I decided to read more books before I actually sit down and actually organize my thoughts and clear my mind to focus on my goals. I even aquire a manifestation journal - The Manifestation Journal- Achieve Your  Potential  and Create teh Reality You Desire by Gill Thackray

Lastly I bought a book by Joanna Watters- mainly because I knew about the author. She was often advertising in the now gone Apple Store magazines- Soul and Spirit  and Spirit and Destiny. She is a former London based astrologer and tarot reader that moved in 1995 in Lefkada- Greece and she runs Tarot and Astrology Summer School classes from her house over there.

The latest book I read and I totally recommed is Be Your Own Astrologer- Unlock the Secrets of the SIgns and Planets. It is a great book, that made me discover new aspects on my chart- even after I thought I had it all figured out. It helped me find out my true career purpose .

Ok, without giving too much info on these books, in order not to spoil your reading, happy reading everyone!

 Hi everyone! 

Sorry I have been missing for some time now, but I have been sick, again and again and also were the holidays/ Easter/ Ramadan. 

Today is End of Ramadan- finally I will get my friend back! Happy Day indeed. Also Easter is over and now life can go back to usual. 

For the last months this blog became more of a Bridget Jones tarot journal than a tarot blog. I am not sure this is the way I want to go. 

I am 50 this Summer and I am looking for ways to turn my life around. I am looking for better rewarding jobs and tried to find ways to give my life a makeover. I am sure is still possible, I was not yet determined to make the necessary changes yet. I have a demanding job and afterwork I find little energy to do anything else. 

However, starting today with the New Moon in Aries engery that just happened yesterday I am ready for Change. This New Moon is all about excitment/ second chances and restarts- according to Yasmin Boland. 

I am reading Roxie Nafousi manifestation books, yes I bought both of them. I just need it a boost in my confidence that I have what it takes to start a NEW, BETTER, MORE MEANINGFUL LIFE.

In the past months I was not able to manifest any of  the items on my list, but then I got Roxie Nafousi's book and she said that if we are not sure what we really want to manifest/ it is easier to start manifesting a feeling. I can go with that, she is right it easier to manifest a feeling of contentment or happiness than to put exact items on my list, such as winning the lottery. 

Then she wrote about self-love, and how we need to forgive ourselves. I keep having difficulties not blaming myself for my life in the past and she has helped me understand I need to love myself enough to fogive myself for all the things that went wrong in the past. I was stuck on the idea of getting a second chance in the States and the impossibility of that brought me pain. However, now I learned that I should look for second chance somewhere else, and this is still achievable. 

The idea is now with the help from the Moon, it is a great time to start something new, for all of us. 

Happy manifesting everyone!

New Moon Best Wishes!

Just a quick note! 

Have a generous and blissful Ramadan! - 

Sending my best wishes to all my muslim friends and readers.

 Hi everyone,

I am back... with some news, for those following my blog I know you might wanted to hear my latest news. Did I go out for St Patricks day? Did I rent the Airbn for the night out in town? or Did I decide to stay in and be responsible? Did I break up with my younger friend?

Well read up, all the answers are right here.

I got sick, yeah, unfortunately I got otitis in my right ear, and yes I am staying in... Thanks goodness I have not book anything in advance and my indecision made me save some money I would have spend on accommodation I could not use. 

As far as my friend I made a budget for the rest of  the month  from now until  April/ salary day and I realized that I have made so many promises to so many people( my mom- to  cement the alley around the house/ paint the fence& the shed / my son- gaming money and pocket money and my friend- rent) that if I am to keep my word there is NO discretionary funds left for me at all. This is what happens when you try to keep everybody happy. I am left out with no money for the month. So, yes I decided this is the LAST month I am going to help out my younger friend. After this month he will need to either get a job or leave the country.... Tough decision for both of us, since I am so emotionally involved with him, but I simply can no longer afford him. 

This month for us, will be a month of prayer for each of us, him Ramadan and myself Easter. He is fasting, and asked me to join him, but I have my own religion, even though I do not practice it. I am thinking to at least fast now until Easter on Wendsdays and Fridays- when we are normaly not supposed to eat any meat, or dairy products. 

On the 21 st we have a NEW Moon in Aries- it is the beginning of the astrological year and a great time to set our intentions for the year! 

Ok everybody these were my news now and I will be back with tarot articles/ lessons!

Blessed be!
Happy St Patrick's Day!

Today I am going to write about journaling, and in particular tarot journaling. You can find below my tarot questions, the tarot questions I aks when I do readings for myself organized in Career, Friendship, Self-Discovery and Decision Making topics that interest me. You can choose your own set of topics that fits your needs.

Career:

My career questions focus on what better skills I can earn to get a better paying job and also a job that will bring me joy.  Career questions around a job that will make me feel more secure and give me piece of mind. 

Sample Career questions:

Thinking aobut my dream job- the thing I want to do most is web design with French skills.

Qs #1: I ask the cards how do I go about achieving it?

Qs #2: I also focus on the skills I want to learn ( including bullet journaling)- ask the cards if I 'll be successful at it.

Qs#3: I also think of my career goals, and I ask the cards what will take to achieve them?

For each of these questions I have a subset of 3 other questions:

- What cards did I draw?

- What was the message sent?

- How did that message made me feel?

Friendship 

I am not currently involved in any romantic relationship, but I am involved in an "attached friendship" which occupies most of my free time. In my case this is both positive and negative energy. I know this friendship is NOT growing into something "more", but my heart and feelings are fully vested in this relationship.

Sample Friendship Question:

Focus on my friend and ask how this relationship is unfolding over the next 3 months?

Also, remember to add the subsection questions to every main topic question you ask.

Self- Discovery

Sample Questions

Q#1: Ask if currently I am on the right direction and ask if I should focus more on friendship, career, family or something else.

Q#2: I ask if I continue to follow on the same path where will this lead me to?

Decision - Making

I am really slow at making a decision, and once I reach one I keep changing my mind about it. I take into consideration all "+" and all "-" and every "what ifs" and every day deepending on my current mood I see the half glass "full" or "empty". I was suggested to try the calendar spread to get a general idea how the year will play out to help me work out when to act on a decision.

My big plan is to start a new blog in WordPress , web hosted with a main registrar company.

I 'm thinking about trying this as a hobby, but I am worried taht it will take too much of my time and I won't have enough time left to improve my skills. 

Decision Questions

Qs #1: What will the outcome be if I want to take up blogging in WP as a hobby? Will it cost too much (both in money and time terms)?

Qs #2: Also another qustion I have is about leaving my job for a more qualified position after I retrain, what will the outcome will be?

These questions are just few samples on how I organized my readings, but using as an example you can develop your own questions. Just make sure to use the subsection questions after each main topic question. 

Happy Journaling!

 Hi everyone,

I knew I was NOT ready to start any new relationship because I was not able to give up on my 8 years + friendship. Afterall, I thought to meet again for this month at least. With Ramadan starting at the end of the month this relationship will probably die on its own, as we won't be able to go out anymore during the day, and I do not go out at night (living in bad neighborhood and all that). 

It was just to hard to resist temptation to see him again today. He is like family to me, besides he is so young and handsome!

And I feel bad about talking about my past relationships, as most of them were not all that bad.... I guess my expectations were higher each and every time, but that is not to say that I did not have good times as well.

I am still undecided if to go out on Saint Patricks day or not. Part of me wants to go out and have fun, and the other side of me is telling me to be responsible and not waste money on entertainment. What scares me is that April follows, and is a month full of religious holidays: Ramadan & Easter and there will be no entertainment for me until May, or better said end of April. 

I shall decide soon!

Happy March everyone!

Hi everyone, 

today I want to share some dating advice for the younger women. This is an analysis drawn from my own life experience of almost half a century.

When I was young I did not know this and now I wish I did. 

If you are fair looking but not good  looking enough/ beautiful and wish to marry someone handsome it is always going to be a tradeoff. You will end up being with someone better looking than you but interested more on your money than you. Or, if money is something you do not have at least looking for papers or citizenship in a better country than that of their origin. 

Maybe it seems like a good tradeoff, unfortunately it lasts only as long the better looking partner 's interests are fulfilled (meaning giving them money or staying married until they get the permanent residency in the better country or unitl they find out you won't marry them for papers). 

The same scenario happened to me with multiple partners both in the US and Europe. 

So I learned to stay OUT  of psychotic/ desparate to marry men from Venezuela, drug addicts from Iran, chronical liers from Israel, short term marriage men from Algeria or gigolos from Tunisia.

If you are beautiful and marry into wealth, I am not sure if that would make you happy either unless you are more interested in material things than love. Both my second cousins are very looking and both married out of interest and they ended up having a lot more than I have based only on their looks and not their intellectual capacity or working skills.

This had me thinking of all the years of schooling and study I went through did not bring me more than a medium income paid job, not sufficient to buy any property on my own. 

Now lets consider children. When I was young all I cared for was a better looking partner disregarding their schooling abilities. This came back to haunt me as a big mistake. My son is yes, good looking but does poorly in school. I was a very studious student and always had good grades not straight A student but a B+ average student. So I always took for granted that anyone can study just as easily as I did. Well that belief proved wrong, and now I struggle to accept my son's school situation. Part of the situation may be my fault because I give him money and gifts without setting any school expectations from him so maybe he is not motivated enough to study. Nevertheless even the lack of motivation in schooling is not an excuse for his disinterest in any intellectual activities. 

SO, yes please do pay attention to the intellectual capacities/ study in your partner before you decide to have children with them. 

I know it is going to be hard to impossible to find a partner both very studious and very good looking, but you may need to find a balance between good looks and studing capacity. 

In conclusion, do NOT let infatuation get control of your mind when choosing a partner. On the other hand do not let greed rule your thinking either. In other words try to find a balance. Balance is key.

Namaste!

Tomorrow is New Moon in Pisces,

and I want to give some manifestation guidance.

Every month at new moon we are supposed to make a list of our wishes and wants/ goals we want to manifest until then next new moon. This new moon is in Pisces, and for leos falls into their 8th house. 

What all this means?

According to moonologist Yasmin Boland, New Moon in Pisces means "My conscious dreams create my reality". Pisces- is home of dreams, mystical matters and compassion. 

When New Moon is Pisces - we can release fear, work on our intuitive skills. We should write down our dreams this month and it is said that daydreams  can come true. For Leos, tomorrow's new moon falls into our 8th house- the house of shared finances, and sex. 

For me personally this means- more money (meaning stop giving money away and start saving), better sex (watch Sex Lives new season on Netflix starting March 2nd)  and overcome my fear of being alone and other limiting beliefs. Know I have the power to change the conditions of my life.

There are few questions we can ask this new moon:

What would I do if I had more money?

Should I take a new loan out or pay off my old debt?

What can I do to save more money this month?

Should I ask for a pay rise?

You can surely do what I do and try to answer the questions above with reading tarot cards. For me tarot cards are like my best friend/ advisor. You can always have a conversation with your tarot cards and see what they have to say about the matter at hand. Sometimes they give you clues into a different perspective and they can open up your mind towards things you were not able to see before.

One piece of advise though, in my experience if the cards just do not make sense do not insist on giving you an answer to that question. Leave them for a day or two, and come back later and see if they make sense after you give them some rest. If they still do not make any sense, it means Tarot does not want to give you an answer and you should leave it to that. 

Ok, Happy Pisces Month everyone!

Moonology Manifestation Deck, Yasmin Boland

Hi everyone,

today's post is about a clarification: Tarot by itself it is NOT Devil's work! 

First of I am NOT a witch and I do not practice spells. I consider the way I practice Tarot to be completelly "holy" and not against God's word. It is all about how you practice tarot not just tarot being satanic per se.

If you do not do readings for money, do Not tell fortunes , do Not do spells and do NOT worship Satan, then you are in line with God's teachings and DO not let anyone tell you otherwise. There are a lot of dogmatic priests especially those that come from Orthodoxy that are eager to blame you for use of Tarot cards but they are wrong. You do No wrong just by using Tarot as a social game, or for personal use or for teaching tarot. 

SO, yes I do NOT call myself a witch and I am NOT practicing paganism/ Wicca. I am also not a church going type of person. I believe my relationship with God is private and I do not need to excuse myself to anyone for using tarot cards. 

In my view it is all in the way you choose to use Tarot that defines if it is against God's words or NOT.

In short, you do not need to be witch to practice tarot. It s true a lot of witches do use tarot but they use it for spells and telling fortunes and in pursuit of money and I personally prefer to stay out of these things. 

If you are looking to have fun with the cards and learn tarot for personal use and how to journal, stick around you are at the right place! 

Love and light!

Happy Valentine s Day!

I know in my younger years this day used to be a big thing, but NOW after reaching almost age 50 it is not that important anymore!

Valentine is an exciting day if you are in a couple but also it can be a self love day if you are single. 

I honestly do feel more comfortable wearing my PJ all day and having my hair undone than waxing, putting makeup on and getting all dressed up. I find it that it is more comfy to just be by myself and drink tea , read tarot cards  and practice my manifestation wishes and wants than to go out somewhere. 

What I am trying to say it is not that it does not feel great to be with someone you love on this special day, because it sure is! What I mean is that it is also OK to be by yourself and not need someone other person in your life to feel also happy on Valentine s Day!

I personally do not need  self validation to have someone in my life right now! Earlier this year, I had planned an escapade with an Italian man I knew for some years ago but never got tot date before, only to cancel last moment because I felt that if it did not happen before maybe it was not meant to happen at all... I am like that, I change my mind last minute. I am sure he was deeply dissappointed since he had all plans made to come see me, but I m sure he also recovered fast, well because he s Italian and Italians do not stay single too long... 

I was also making friendly conversation with a single, divorced neighbour thinking just to be nice ONLY to find out he was taking my kindness as an interest in dating him. I was like, what is wrong with him? So, I politely have to turn him down. Some men if they see you friendly it means for them you are ready to date them and that is just so unfortunate!

So, yeah, I am not over thinking that is Valentine and therefore I should be with someone! This time if I date someone new, I want to be for REAL!

Unfortunately I found that at my age my options are limited to dating: unstable, adventurous Italian man, or dodgy divorced neighbor or younger totally financially dependent on me Tunisian man. 

I am sure that I can make better than that, just that I do not find the energy to go look after someone new! I am kind of old fashion minded and think that if I am meant to meet someone new they will somehow find me, without me doing any search work!

Well not without any work, exactly since we need to ask the Universe for something if we want to manifest it! So for new moon wishes on Sunday I will ask to manifest love with a "king of pentacles"  man. That means STABLE in all aspects type man- not only financially but also emotionally. 

So, yes if you are single on Valentine Day this year, do not fret about it,  you still have people in your life that love you like friends and family.

Love and Light!

This Valentine is for LOVE in all forms and kinds!

 I am happy to announce that I will be back with new tarot postings. 

I decided that I will make this blog about all tarot things I love... If I love it I am going to enjoy it while I make it and eventually be very good at it, because anything done with passion is different & much better than when just done for a job that pays for a living.

Today is Last Quater Moon in Scorpio and according to Yasmin Boland "something will reveal that needs to be seen". 

About 8 month ago I was torn apart by the departure of my best friend and ex lover, but now he is back. I was excited that he returned but when I saw him yesterday the magic was not there anymore... the feeling of excitment that I used to have seeing him, was No longer there... and I came to admit to myself that this relationship is better let go. I decided Not to tell him about it yet, and instead just observe him for the rest of the month, if nothing changes I will just end the relationship.

I feel like I have better things ahead of me than to wait forever on a relationship that is no longer satisfying. 

The thing is I am working full time, but I feel I want to get back into reviving this blog. Posting in here certainly does not feel like work, and as I am not focusing in sales the writing in here should be fun for me and entertaining for you, the reader.

I feel I have overcome great difficulties but now my life situation is pretty stable so I can get to enjoy things that made me happy in the past, like this blog. I had lots of plans of learning new things like HTML 5 and CSS and Java Script, and upgrading my French level but all failed after just a few lessons because it was nothing that made me happy. 

So, my advise to you, do NOT waste time in your life with things that do not bring you joy, unless absolutely necessary.... and allow time for things that DO make you Happy! Because JOY is necessary for our mental health! 

So, I ll be writing back shortly... 

And one more thing this month is all about meditation in order to start manfiesting your wishes...and I know are not "wishes" because those tend to not happen ever, start manifesting your goals. !

Until then Namaste!
