Florida Tarot: Sea Star Tarot, Online and in Florida

 This is the 10 of Pentacles.  It depicts a gathering of folks of different generations and includes pets.  The basic meaning of the card is all about how a supportive family environment can offer emotional and financial security.  It also states that heritage, in the sense of continuity could be manifested as money or goods, healthy genes, traditions or stories. 

 It is a good card to receive upright in a reading as it designates prosperity, or the inheritance of accumulated wealth that invested wisely will bring security and contentment to the family.  If the card falls in the reversed position, however, it might mean disruptions, family quarrels, financial worries or problems with a legacy.

Many of you will gather this Thursday to celebrate Thanksgiving and share loving celebration time with your families.  My heartfelt wish for you is that you 10 of Pentacles card always falls upright to give you that sense of alignment with the life, joy and stability!

Namaste'

 Today's card is a Major card and is named The Star.  According to a recent exercise that was provided to Tarot Professional members by Marcus Katz the meaning of this card when it is upright in a reading is enlightenment.  If the card should fall upside down, or reversed as we say in tarot land then the meaning would be darkness.  What???


For example, suppose you wanted to study celestial navigation and there was a course being offered at your local university.  Before enrolling you might visit my site and query as to whether you would do well with this area of study.


If The Star fell upright I could tell you that if you apply yourself to this course you will be enlightened.  If, on the other hand, the card came out in the reversed position I would be obliged to tell you that it appears you will be immersed in darkness.  Probably meaning that the course level would be above you and you would not understand it well.


O.K. then the choice would be up to you as to whether to pursue the course anyway or maybe to take some simpler courses in astronomy and navigation in order to prepare better for the BIG one.  Got it?


As a tarot reader, it is my job to help you make the right choices in order to assist you on your path to your destiny.  So, feel free to ask me about this post or about anything else you might want to know...

Look at those beautiful, lush, eyelashes!  This is Thandi (tahn-dee), the Matriarch of the small herd of African elephants housed in my home town of Fellsmere, Florida!  Awhile back, Disney decided to try to help the dwindling elephant populations somehow.  They realized that elephants might need a break from zoo's, circus acts, or from any of the wildlife exhibits in North America.  So, Jeff and John, the elephant keepers for Disney researched places that might become a good place to provide respite for these creatures. Well, folks, they found what they were looking for right here in Fellsmere among some old grove land.  So, they leased the land from the grove, built the appropriate fences and shelters and about a year and a half ago put the elephants on it! While the focus is rest for these creatures, they are also studying what works best as far as caring for them with the hope of expanding and trying to save the elephants from extinction.

Interestingly enough, about a year ago I connected and began to work with the Hindu God energy of Lord Ganesha.  The information about Lord Ganesha is from  SouledOut.org as posted below:

Ganesha  removes fear from the mind, or Lord of Obstacles, whose purpose is to help his worshippers surmount every difficulty. He is a jolly, good-natured god.

In his hand Ganesha wields a noose and goad, and he holds a bowl of sweets. With the noose Ganesha can hold you close or capture and confine both blessings and obstacles. With the goad, Ganesha can strike and repel obstacles from you. Ganesha removes obstacles but he can also put them in your way to prevent you from going down the wrong path.

Ganesha's four arms stand for his immense power in helping Humanity. Lord Ganesha is the Single-Tusk One, patron of literature, who tore off one of his tusks to scribe the great epic Mahabharata. Through this action Ganapati teaches us that knowledge and dharma are of utmost importance worth sacrificing even pride and beauty to attain.

If you look at statues and imagery of Ganesha, there is frequently a tiny little rat (or mouse) at his feet, Mooshika, representing the worldly desires that need to be overcome. This being is known as Ganesh's "Vahana" or vehicle, and was basically used as a mode of transport after having been tamed by Ganesh. It is said that the contradiction between the heaviness of the elephant and the lightness of the rat is an illustration of Ganesh’s role as one who brings about unity and harmony, and this is further demonstrated by the fact that Ganesh was able to tame a creature considered to be vermin.

Ganesh resides on the mental plane. He sits contentedly upon the muladhara (first) chakra and reigns over it. Ganesh is the deity of the instinctive mind and of the intellectual mind, science, and knowledge ~ making him the Lord of Categories. He organizes and clears the mind so that awareness may flow into it. Ganesh is also the Giver of Success, and is associated with general abundance in life. Among all the wonderful Hindu deities, Shri Ganesha is closest to the material plane of consciousness and most able to assist us in our day to day life concerns.

Sounds like a useful God to have on your side! How can you reach Ganesh and get his assistance? Very simple. To contact Lord Ganesh, hold his form steady in your mind with eyes closed. Now you can talk to him. He will listen, but not speak back. You simply must put all of your questions and problems at his feet and then open your eyes. Ganesha answers you not in words but by his influencing events and decisions slowly and in unseen ways. Situations will change for you and doors will open through your prayers to him.

As I studied the precepts represented by Ganesha, the energy led me to the elephants.  I joined the National Elephant Center and began donating to this concern through Amazon Smile.  I was very excited to receive an invitation to visit the grounds and view the elephants!  I went there Friday, 11/8, and had a wonderful time watching, photographing and learning all about them!  I hope you enjoy the Gallery of photos.  Double click on the pictures to enlarge them and to read the captions.

Below is recent feedback from one of my customers.  She has been so happy with my work that along with several tarot readings that we have done to guide her with her business, she also purchased healing blessings for herself and each of her 5 siblings.  This is what she told me:

Dear Sharon:
As a healer, teacher, spiritual counselor, you bring clarity and understanding, comfort, excitement and much, much  more to a lay person like me who would normally be left to wonder...  I am so grateful!

Doing a magical blessing for someone is  a thoughtful and caring gift.  'Tis the season you know!

Well, then. I guess that's all for now and I hope to hear from you soon!

Namaste'
