Tarot Energy Reading for March 2008
Written By Theresa Chaze
The energy for March 2008 will be mixed and confusing on every level. Many who sought Divine enlightenment will find that they were deceived by darkness masquerading as light. Instead of ascending into the Divine wisdom, they have become obsessed with their own spiritual growth and like Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection, so their egos are becoming overly impressed with their mystical gifts. Instead of sharing their love and light with others, they brag and boast about their new connections; just like those who those who seek power for the sake of power, they will never truly find what they search for.
The energy we will bring in to March is represented by the High Priest. Those who seek to know the truth will find the balance between their truth and the truth of others. As others mirror our challenges, we need to find patience, forgiveness and understanding for them, as it is the only way we will be able to find it for ourselves. Many have chosen not to question, but to blindly follow beliefs or traditions not because that is what is in their heart, but they fear being ostracized. It is easier to go along to get along than to have the courage to pull back their curtain and expose the man behind it. They would rather listen the booming voice and relinquish their power than risk standing alone. Yet there continue to be exceptions to this trend. Those who have been following their own path will not be turned back nor will they give into the fear mongering of others. As in the Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, they refuse to listen to the sensible people and continue wishing for their dreams to come true. It is this courage that will draw fairy godparents into their lives to create the miracles they have been wishing for.
March is represented by the seven of pentacles. It is a time of growth and potential growth, depending on how open each person is to change. Miracles will happen for those who have the courage to see beyond the disappoint and the anger over what we have lost. It is not a time for stubbornness or decisions made from fear. But a time of courage and resolve as we open our heart and lives to blessings. Many of us who have had their hearts and minds in conflict will resolve the issues in such a way that they well find peace. In doing so, they will tear down the barriers, which have kept their blessings from arriving. The work and sacrifice is done; it is time to accept the rewards. However, those who chose the path of fear will continue to find disappoints as the universe creates what they have been envisioning. Worldly wants and responsibilities still need to be met, yet the means to the end will be determined on the by the faith and courage within each of us.
The energy that we will carry out of March is the ten of cups. It is the sharing of blessing and dreams. As each of us has our wishes granted, so we are able to open our hearts and grant others the same gift. Literally, our cups will over flow to fill others with hope and new possibilities. Partnerships will be created. Blessing will be shared. Gratitude and generosity will be the keywords of those who trust. The lotus is opening early for those who are able to learn and grow through their old issues and wounds. They will be the beacons to the others who have the eyes to see and the nerve to follow their example. It is not the same path or destiny they will share, but the ability to chart their own course and create their own destiny.
The energy challenge we will all face is the Fool. We are at the crossroads. One path leads to courage and leadership. The other to closed eyes and minds as we blindly follow old teachings just because of tradition. The choice will be to learn or to become stagnant. This is the energy of free will and self determination. Those who choose independence will find the blessings they seek for they have learned from their mistakes and are willing to move forward on their spiritual path. Those who chose to continue on the same path will also arrive at a goal, but it is not the one they envisioned. Closed minds lead to closed heart. A closed heart cannot share in the love and hope that is freely offered to all. It is a circular pattern of behavior and beliefs that can only be broken by having the courage to accept change.
Energy Reading for September 2007
Written By: Theresa Chaze
The image I’m getting for September 2007 is that of a giant, ever expanding puzzle with many different colors and shapes. But instead of us being the pieces, we have them in our hands and are waiting to put them into place. The pieces are transforming with the decisions that we and others make. The future is not written in stone, but is ever changing reality that is altered by the way we focus our energy and the way we envision our opportunities. In increasing numbers, people are focusing on the positive aspects of life. They are seeking new wisdom and justice based on equality. Those who have gained power through greed and manipulation are now scrambling to keep control. The balance of power is equalizing as the Scales of Justice are once again becoming balanced.
The two of cups is the energy we bring in from the past. Partnerships on all levels are highlighted as like minded individuals have come together in trust and through need. Many who found excuses not to trust in the past have come to realized that they can no longer meet their needs or reach their goals without the help of others. In coming together, they are learning their fears were unfounded and have released them. Instead they have opened their minds and hearts to a fresh understanding both on physical and spiritual levels. By becoming honor bound to achieving a positive end results, they have been frequently surprised by the help and support they have been given by strangers and those they once feared.
Justice represents September. More than just a catch phase it will be a rapid, unprecedented balancing of karmic justice. What we have sent out will come home in such a way that it will seem like sky rockets bursting above, which will either rain down blessings or reveal debt in such away that it cant be denied, ignored or dodged. What we have done or caused to be done to others that had a negative impact will be reflected in others eyes and in our physical bodies. Investigations will clear the innocent and point the finger at the guilty. As we have earned, so shall we receive.
The energy coming out of September will be the two of wands. The balancing will continue and spread to the physical plane. The two of cups brought a healing and a cleansing on an emotional level, while the two of wands will be a restructuring and rebuilding on the physical. Those who have persevered will achieve their goals. Again partnerships will be negotiated as a healthier, stronger foundation is built. Those who have done the spiritual and emotional work will be blessed by new abilities and old gifts returning. This energy will become the grounding point for a 2012 transition.
The seven of wands is the challenge we will all face. Blessed with inner strength there is no challenges we cannot learn from. By sharing and caring, we build an interlocking grid that will become the most powerful force in this sector of the universe. Those who have the courage to trust will find that their faith is rewarded thrice over with blessings, strength and wisdom beyond their imagination. By trusting each other, we learn to trust ourselves and that is the true basis of unlimited power.
Energy Reading for August 2007
Written By Theresa Chaze
August 2007 will be a month of miracles, blessings and the courage to accept them. Many of us in the past have been afraid to follow our bless; instead, we have kept to the secure path, no matter how un-fulfilling. In the first full week of August, that will change for many people. No longer will their dreams be held back by society’s expectations or their own limitations. Those who have the courage to take the chances will find that they are the ones who will receive the most blessings and universal support. Like the little train who thought he could, so will those who chose to follow their bliss find themselves at the top of the hill.
When I do the monthly reading, I always ask the Goddess to speak through me for the first paragraph. By allowing her free reign for a few moments, she is able to share her wisdom without interruption. Afterwards I tossed the cards. This particular reading startled me. The odds of getting four major arcana in a row are rather high. For me it is sign for me to pay more closely attention to not only the message but to the world around me. The major arcana represents the more direct messages or warnings from the Divine. It is the Goddess or God influencing the energy and wisdom that is given to every individual. By being open and trusting, your own intuition you will lead you to what you need the most.
The energy coming into August is Temperance. It is a card of stability and balance. This card warns against being rash or rushing into projects before you are fully prepared. Patience may be a dirty word, but it is also an important to get the details right so your ducks will be waddling in a row and quacking in time. By building a solid foundation, you will avoid the many pit falls that will cost you time and energy later. Do it right the first time and you will not have to make repairs later. Patience doesn’t mean inactive; it is a way of pacing yourself to meet your goals while still being able to enjoy life. Temperance also teaches the balance between trust and caution. By walking out of your comfort zone, you will find new adventures, challenges and new paths, which lead to achieve long time dreams.
The Sun represents the month of August. Not only will the temperatures exceed the normal range, but also the energy levels will surpass expectations as the vibrational level of the planet rapidly increases. Toward the middle of the month, there will be a sudden upsurge of planetary energy, that will cause the earth to shift, but it will also instigate the awakening of long dormant gifts and spiritual talents without warning. One morning you will wake to find you have access to a new talent; only the talent fairy will have forgotten to leave the manual. No one will be given more than they are capable of dealing with, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be embarrassing or frightening situations. This doesnt mean people will be able to leap tall buildings at a single bound or fly like a bird. This will be a spiritual awakening as the heart and upper chakras are opened and people gain access to what was always there. It will be gaining access to you souls past lessons and universal wisdom, which will create the mass opening of the heart chakra. The 15th will be a day of healing as life is put into perspective for many.
The energy coming out of August is the High Priest. This energy represents the coming clash between the individual and society. For too long the individual has forgotten that societys power comes from the one. When one and one and one more come together for support, society looses power while the individual becomes stronger. In the 1960s this was the bases of the great cultural civil war. From the Hell no, we wont go to the sit-ins and demonstrations, individuals came together proved who was the stronger. One by one, people came together and changed society by demanding their rights. Whereas in the 60s appearance herald change, the August energy change will come from those who ask questions and demand answers. The venues for disseminating information will be changing nearly as fast as the profiles of the protesters. The ones who are being forced to risk the most will once again be the ones speaking out. In the 60s they were the younger generation who protesting the war; now they are the parents who are making the same demands they made as teenagers. Those who step up will shine. Those who dodge will suddenly no one is asking questions, because they have stopped listening.
The energy challenge we will all face is the Chariot. This is a card of self-discipline and focusing on goals. By directing our energy on what is important, obstacles will be removed and ground will be retaken. This is self-esteem building energy that will heal old emotional and spiritual wounds. Those who thought they failed to make a difference will suddenly realize that the sacrifices they made were not in vain. Instead, they were the foundation builders, as the changes that began in the 60s will gain new life and energy.
Energy Reading for June 2007
Written By Theresa Chaze
The energy for June 2007 will be increasingly chaotic. There will be more decisions, which will have to be made without full or proper information. On the upside, there will be more cooperation between different groups as they finally see that their goals are not as different as they thought. People who once felt isolated by their uniqueness will suddenly find that they are not as special as they thought. Spiritually, unity will be the watch word and the goal of all those who are reaching for the next rung in the ascension ladder. Whereas we were working alone before, after June we will be working together.
The energy we will be bringing in to June is the six of swords. It is the card of the releasing of old worn out patterns and behaviors. As we examine and heal through old injuries and pains, we find ourselves forgiving everyone involved and releasing the situation to the Powers of Justice. We no longer have the time, energy or inclination to seek out vengeance. Other challenges have begun to take our interests down more positive paths. Although we will still actively participate in the justice process, we are no longer emotionally personally involved. We are merely doing what needs to be done to complete the tasks at hand.
June is represented by the ace of wands. Many will be starting new jobs both on the spiritual as well as mundane levels. It the time to start new challenges with courage and faith. If you know from you heart and soul that you have access to unlimited possibilities that is what you will draw into you life. By opening and accepting, you will begin to see the new path in front of you as a reality, not just a dream. What we ask for and are willing to accept is what will be created for us quickly and unquestioningly. Love of others will no longer be a bumper sticker, but a way of life.
The energy we will take out of June is the four of wands. From the inside out we will feel more at peace with ourselves, thereby creating more opportunities to meet others of like mind. There will be more connections as many others will be celebrating the successful opening of their lotus. Those who haven’t become spiritually aware will see this energy as romantic love; however, those who have raised their vibrational level will find there hearts opening to all beings. This will be the awakening of lights that has been foreseen by many. Enough have done the work that it will be happening ahead of schedule. As each person lights up on the from the inside out, the planet will become awash with healing and forgiveness. The time is now and we are ready.
The energy challenge we will all contend with is the six of cups. Special friends and wisdom of the past will be brought forward. Many of us left mystical cheat-cheats with wisdom from the past. We wanted to be certain that we would have the information we needed, when it was required. The problem will be remembering where we put them and once again gaining access. As we have started to come back together, so we have started to not only collect our notes, but to share the information; in doing so, we are finding ourselves blessed and our lives filled with miracles.
Energy Reading for March 2007
Written By Staff Writer: Theresa Chaze
There continues to be many multi-level and multi-dimensional changes happening for everyone. If you think you have been excluded, you are either not paying attention or you are lying to yourself. It is the time of revelation, not the one from the Bible, but the exposing of our true hearts and souls. No longer will excuses or the blame game be able to hide us from what karma accounting we have earned. For those who chose to have the courage to face the challenges head on, there will be resources and the support that you need; those, who chose to attempt to run, will be bit in the butt by what they are running from.
From the past, we are carrying forward the need for peace and harmony. Although we thought we had a brief time out, it was just an illusion. The changes continued within and without even though we seemed to be hiding in a safe place. At that time the changes were happening on such a grand scale, we couldn’t see how they affected our individual lives. But the spiral has once again to tighten its loops and we will once again be swept up in the energy changes.
For the month of March, the energy will be represented by the Death card. I’m going out on a limb to say that in March, Death will affect our lives on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. There will be many who chose to leave the earthly plane this month. Their jobs are either done or they are no longer able to accomplish their tasks from this plane of existence. Instead, they will move to the upper realms and direct the flow of energy from there. Those that will remain will have their beliefs and traditions challenged down to the core. As the waves crash on the shore, something old will be unearthed, which will prove much that is believed as truth to be false. No one will unscathed; no one will be left untouched by the changing sands of light.
The energy we will take out of March is Rejuvenation or the Judgment card. Casting off the old shackles, we will find new freedom from the old traditions and beliefs. The Justice bill will be coming due for everyone. How we have treated ourselves, others, and the planet will determine what color ink the balance will be written in. Those who have done harm and refused to learn their karmic lessons will find a deficit in their accounts, while those, who have come to the aid of others and done their best to move forward, will be blessed beyond their imagination.
There were two cards that wanted to describe the challenges we will all be facing. The six of cups is the past coming into the present like the snake eating its tail we will begin a new cycle by going back to the beginning. Old friends, old challenges, and old beliefs will reappear in our lives. Some will be blessings, while others will again challenge us. The second card is the eight of pentacles. It is a card of acceleration and out of control movement. Half hazard encounters and coincidences will make us question just how much control we have in our lives. The answer is as much as we are willing to take responsibility for. Their are no accidents in life, just attention getting methods of the Divine when we don’t listen to the messages being sent.
Energy Reading for February 2007
Written By: Theresa Chaze
In February 2007, the emotional and spiritual spring will be coming early for many as they have gone through their dark night and the dawn has appeared on the horizon. Those who have done the work will find that by mid February their rewards and awards will be larger than they anticipated. But they deserve no less, for they were the pioneers who faced the challenges of the unchartered territory and blazoned the path for others to follow.
The energy we are carrying forward from the past is the knight of wands. It is a card of sudden change, rash decisions, and radical changes of paths. Projects and challenges were completed only to find that the results, although expected, are no longer suitable for the current situation. The believes that many held dear were suddenly exposed as half-truths or out right lies, leaving the faithful disillusioned and angry. Yet the challenge they will carry forward is to see that the core belief wasnt false, but the interpretation that they were given was a distortion. Those in control sought keep power over others by using fear, manipulation and bullying. As the truth is revealed, their power base has begun to erode. The image that comes to mind is the French Revolution as those in the middle start taking back their power from those with extreme views and goals.
February is represented by the Queen of Pentacles. Creativity, independence, and thinking outside the box will become the norm as individuals break away from the corporate world. No longer working in the best interest of the individual, corporations will find their best and brightest leaving to start their own enterprises. Only they will not only be loosing talent individuals, but they will be gaining competitors who know what their weaknesses are. February will be the month that more individuals will be willing to have the courage to find other options and have the courage to follow through. It is a month of breaking away from the herd. Only they will not be running solo for long. As more find their freedom, they will create a new herd based more on equality, honor and equitable distribution of resources.
The energy we will take with us is the Death card. Although it will be a jumping off point for many, this card talks more about the transformation and the radical changes that will be happening both within and without. Just like the sword, which has been shaped and strengthened by the forge, the trial by fire has tempered those who have walked through it, making them stronger, wiser and more capable of standing up for their rights, beliefs and those who are less capable. The death will come as the power shifts and the old guard finally topples. It will not be an easy, peaceful ending, but one of betrayal, lies, dishonor, and pain for many. But their attempts to retain control will only hasten their exposure and defeat.
The energy we will all be challenged with is the Star. In this case, the Star represents courage in spite of the odds, honor when it would be easy to sink to lower levels and faith when there is no reason to have it. By focusing on our goals and the path we have set before us, we will find the strength, courage and wisdom to follow through to the end. As we continue on our individual path, we will soon find that the paths start to merge; we are not alone. Together we are stronger exponentially. Together we can tear down the darkness that subdued us with fear and manipulation. Together we can rebuild and restore the balance that was taken from us by the empty souls who sought power for power sake and selfish who tried filling the emptiness within by stealing the light of others.

Energy Reading for January 2007
Staff Writer: Theresa Chaze
The energy reading for January 2007 is going to signal the completion of many aspects of our lives. As the year ends, old tasks, behaviors and lifestyles will close like the cover a novel after the last page has been read. It is the turning of the energy tide as it rises up in preparation of 2012. Many will have sad regrets of what was, could have been, or is no longer. To look back in retrospect is a healing way of putting the future into perspective, however to get stuck there is to deny yourself the future possibilities.
As I was shuffling, the Queen of Pentacles jumped out and wanted attention. This is the card of the strong feminine energy that is coming back to the forefront of consciousness. With it comes the balancing of the power between our feminine and masculine halves. No longer will it be acceptable or satisfying to be only half a person. Those who stubbornly insist on living only as a halfling will find themselves alone, no longer accepted by peers and loved ones as they reach for competition within themselves. It is a time of balancing of karma and the bringing of justice. No one will be able to hide from the karmic bill that is coming due.
In the past is the Empress. Strong, fertile and creative this card reveals how many of us have grown out of the struggles we have faced. We have wiggled free from the old snakes skin to look forward to the new challenges before us. As the butterfly, we have escaped the cocoon, transformed and strengthened by the struggle; we now sit in the sun, waiting for our wings to dry before taking flight. The world is now open to us; we only have to decide which breeze to take to give us liftoff. I see a gathering on a mountain. Not a physical one, but one of the spirit. Many have climbed, flown or descended to the summit. They have one goal–enlightenment for themselves, which in turn awakens all around them. Through the struggles of their awakening, they have come together on this spiritual plane and are now ready to do so on the physical. In the not to distant future, the collaboration will be come a reality to all; in doing so the power shift will be brought to the public and the darkness will be revealed.
In the present is the eight of swords. In many ways we are emotionally torn. There is a great difference between what we feel with our soul and what we are experiencing emotionally and physically. All around we see and experience the power struggles and conflicts. We feel powerless like the fall leaves in a winter wind. Yet these are the last challenges; the last tempering and sharpening of the sword to make it an effective weapon. So we are experiencing the finally cleansing of our souls and spirits. It may not be a good time right now, but once we come out the other side we will be grateful for the wisdom and strength we have been blessed with.
The future is the Star. The fact that there are two major arcana in this reading speaks to how the Divine is intervening in all our lives. The Star says keep your faith, hope and focus on the goals. What is it that you are reaching for? It is closer than you realize. Claim it and it will be yours. Before the first full weeks ending, those who have done the work and allow it to happen will have reached the first of their goals. In doing so, they will be beacons for the rest to follow. By opening up and accepting, without judgment, we give ourselves access to all the knowledge, wisdom and energy of the Divine.
The challenge we will all face is the two of wands. The key words are balance and perseverance. The only limits on your success are the ones you and your imagine place on yourself. As we have come together to find harmony and union, so we will create success for each other and become examples for others to emulate. The material world will now reflect the spiritual beauty within us. Where we walk we will not only plant the seeds of wisdom and respect, but we will nurture them into growth. The awakening has begun.
There are several I speak to directly. Now is not the time to give into the dark path you have walked away from before. It would be so easy to give into the anger and the fear–so easy to do harm in the name of helping one you love. Your challenge is to keep on the path of light and love. Instead of the dark arts, approach the challenge from love. What would it take for someone to change your mind? Use that tack and you will be able to achieve your goal without doing harm to yourself. Soul to soul, speak to the other. Tell it how much you love and wish them to change. Show them that how harming other does not make them stronger, only less respected by those you wish with your whole heart to impress. In this way, you both will heal.
December 2006 Energy Reading
Staff Writer: Theresa Chaze
December will be a turning point for many of us. It will be a time of great healing and growth, as we allow ourselves to release old negative patterns. Physically, emotional, and spiritually, we will be shedding old skins and old challenges to face the calendar New Year with new prospects. The past few months we have been peeling back the layers of the old dead parts of ourselves. It has been painful and many tears have been shed. But like the snake freeing itself from a skin it has out grown or the butterfly that is fighting its way free of the cocoon, it has been necessary to reveal our inner strength, not to the world but to ourselves. It is the time we have come to see ourselves not through our own eyes, but through those of others.
The energy we are carrying forward from the past is the King of Cups. Strong emotions and temptations are carried forward as we are challenge to find a new way of carrying out the business of life. No longer will the old behaviors function. They will not satisfy nor will they be effective. It is a time of emotional change as we look to wiser souls to find new answers to old questions. Yet the external search will be balanced by the inner one as we find comfort inside ourselves. Time alone will no longer be considered a punishment, but a blessing we give ourselves as we take a break from the frantic energy around us. We will find brief moments of peace strung together to give us perspective and grounding. The more proficient we become at centering ourselves, the easier it will be to find safe port no matter what kind of storm rages around us. It will be these flashes that will give us the strength to keep within our centers and to keep moving forward.
December is represented by the Page of Wands. It will be all of our responsibilities to speak the truth and to stand for each other. No longer will we be lone voices in the darkness asking for spiritual awakening and wisdom; as the energy vibration level continues to increase in frequency and power, more individuals are awakened as are their spiritual gifts. Those who were blessed with minor psychic gifts suddenly find they are no longer minor, but active blessings that they can and will use at will. In addition, to the spiritual, many will find their voices and the ability to use them. No longer will they be silenced by fear and the manipulations by others. For as their eyes have opened and they have begun to see just how much ground they have given away in the name of fear. The first reaction will be guilt and anger, leading to an over-reaction. Yet this could be as self-defeating as doing nothing. Its only by examining each situation and by coming to a just end result that individuals will grow past the negative behaviors. If we give in to the revenge mentality of tit for tat, then the dark side wins and the light in all of us will be diminished.
The energy coming out of December is the Ace of cups. A new emotional strength will radiate from our hearts that will give us a new positive attitude that will reflect upward to our souls and downward into our physical bodies. It will start with cleansing on all levels as we remove the toxins from our lives. Whether they be people, situations or behaviors, they will suddenly disappear from our lives. Those who wish to move forward only have to ask with their hearts for the healing to begin. Be very careful not to ask for specifics, but for the methods and the end results. Claim what is yours, but remember the free will of others. Having an open heart, means accepting others challenges as theirs and refusing to take on the responsibility for their decisions. By simply accepting not as a by-stander but as being of light, we see people for who they are, not as we wish them to be. In doing so, we accept ourselves and open our own doors to new energy.
The challenge each of us will face will be the Devil. In many ways, this card is of materialism and the material world. But in this case, it is our darker side that will be our greatest challenge–our fear, anger, ignorance, self-hatred–all that keeps us from seeing the light of our soul and that which shines from others. It is only by embracing and owning it that we can find the true source and heal through it. Owning it doesnt mean giving it to it, but admitting we it is an issue. It is only by understanding what triggers the response that we learn how to change our behavior. Once we recognize it and admit is part of who we are, the behavior looses power over us and we can grow through it.
Energy reading for November 2006
Written By: Theresa Chaze
This energy reading is hitting very close to home for me, but I am not the only one. Many bright lights have found themselves targeted by those whose goal is to spread fear. Although mine started on the physical plane, it reached to challenge me on the spiritual and emotional. So it is with many. Whether it be losing loved ones, economic insecurity, or religious/political issues, we all have been challenged to face our fears and become stronger. No longer are we able to idly stand by and believe it won’t happen to us or that someone else will take care of it. Each of us are now responsible for taking the lead and standing up for what is right. To allow a bully to harm a weaker person is to be just as responsible. For evil to win, good people have to do nothing; however, when they stand together to face the bully, the bully slinks back into the shadows.
The energy we have brought into November from the past is the four of wands. It is a card of peace and harmony from lessons learned and challenged faced. It is an energy of confidence and satisfaction. We are proud of our accomplishments and the rewards we have earned. It is a time of sharing what we have learned and how much progress we have made. In the past, we faced the old fears and reach further into our core to find the true source of what motivates us. What is hidden can be feared, but once it is brought into the light, it can be examined and worked through. We found others who were dealing with the same issues and had the strength to share. In doing so new bonds were formed and more resources were made available.
For the month of November, the energy is represented by the page of swords. Although we come into the month on a positive note, the challenges again rise up. As we are confronted from the outside, we will find ourselves on the defensive. We will feel uncertain of ourselves and our beliefs as we are forced to reevaluate from the inside out. Was what we held close to our hearts an illusion? Was it real? What is real and true? What or who can we depend on? Its a time of intense growth and clarification. No longer will the shallow explanations be enough. Each of us will be forced to answer the tough questions within ourselves. This energy will force us to define what within ourselves is ego, fear, or power driven. In seeing and releasing the smallness of ourselves, we find the true motivations of our actions and are able to return to the Divineness that is within all of us. In finding our own, we again see the Divine in others.
The energy we will take from November is the page of wands. As we have found our truth, from within we are more able to speak it with others. No longer will we be comfortable with the shallow old relationship or ways of relating. Although its still on the horizon and the dawn has yet to break, the fellowship is emerging. As each person finds their own light, so they light the way for others to find their way. For every prayer for peace and wisdom, for every kindness shown, for every bully that is faced and forced to back down, the Divine grows within all of us as each act reinforces the next. No one stands alone when they come from the truth. As each of us faces our fears, we make the whole stronger and we are more able to see family in the faces of strangers.
The challenge we will all be facing is the ace of cups. No matter what challenges crosses our path, we must face it with courage, love and a good sense of humor. It will not be easy, but we will not be alone. As we reach out to strangers, so they will reach back to us, creating new bonds of support and understanding. For many it will mean new starts or the reactivation of old projects. Many who were afraid to speak out will suddenly find their voice. Some have already been pushed with their backs to the wall and have no place else to go but forward. Others have voluntarily left their nest in order to protect it. Although it was painful, they needed to temporarily be relocated to a place where their voice could be heard and their actions draw more attention. They will be the ones who turn on the spotlights and directs them into the heart of the shadows. The time of the truth-bringers have begun. Its time for all of us to stand together.
Energy Reading for October
Staff Writer: Theresa Chaze
The month of October will continue to be challenging and frustrating. So many people have been asking why does it have to be so hard? Why can’t I move forward on my path? The answer is you will when you are ready. By releasing the old ties that bind you to the past, you open the door to the future, yet some are still afraid to walk through it. Instead they stand the threshold and ask why are the blessing held so far away. In reality, it is us as individuals, who are holding back.
The energy we are bringing forward from the past is the Hanged Man. It is a feeling of being restrained or blocked. However, instead of being on a leash, we are seeking answers and energy on other levels. This energy is releasing tremendous amounts of growth and wisdom. There is much change and expansion happening on every level of existence, however we are simply too involved to see it from where we are standing. Once we reach the pinnacle, we will be able to look back with pride at our achievements. Suddenly this energy will start changing our views. No longer will we see what we can’t do, but all we are capable of accomplishing. This energy will bring rapid and unexpected changes in our lives on all levels.
The energy for October is the two of cups. The simple meanings are partnerships, connections, and free sharing of energy as co-operatives are created. People of like minds will come together to harness their wills, ideas, and support for the good of all. No longer will those who come from love and hope be standing alone. Just as the internet is called the web, so will individuals be linked together around the world. In business, relationships and spiritual paths, the connectiveness will encircle the globe until all those who chose the path of light are working toward the same positive goals. All a person has to do is to stand up to be counted and she or he will find support beyond their imaginings.
The eight of wands will come out of October. Goals will be reached. Individuals will learn from others’ successes and failures. No challenge will be wasted, for each lesson will have meaning to others. The “group mind” will beginning it’s conversion to the Aquarian age as more individuals speed up their spiritual learning process. The only ones left behind are those who expect others to carry them.
Together we will be facing the challenge of the King of Cups. Although some respect him, many more find him to be emotional to the point of irrational. He frequently makes little sense on his own and it’s only through the “wrangling” of others that his outbursts are kept under control. He considers himself to be a religious man, yet he never learned the true meaning behind the spirituality of his faith. Instead of being comforted, his faith is a place he hides from the truth of his life and is a way of avoiding responsibility for his actions. He is only capable of seeing from his point of view and totally lacks empathy for anyone who chooses another life path. His influence will ebb and flow until at last, a majority sees his true face and he will be held accountable.
Energy Reading for September 2006
Staff Writer: Theresa Chaze
For all of us this year continues to be a time of challenge
and completion. It is a time of facing old challenges to either win
or continue the battle. No one is exempt. No one can hide. The
spotlight is on all of us individually as we are the star of our own
drama. As the harvest is being brought in from the fields, so are
we harvesting the results of our actions.
As I was shuffling the five of cups popped out of the deck,
wanting my attention. It tells of turmoil both within ourselves
and within the world. Relationships are changing. Those that are
built on solid foundations will survive as all involved with learn
and grow together, using each challenge to become stronger. Those
that were built on shifting, unstable sands will find the ground
slipping from beneath their feet without having anyone to save
them. It is time to take an honest accounting of our lives. Will
the final balance be in the black or in the red?
The energy we are carrying forward from the past is the four
of wands. Those who have done the spiritual work are carrying
satisfaction and harmony as they have met the challenges of the
past. They continue to look forward and plan for the future as they
bring in their harvest. They can enjoy what they have earned. New
relationships and partnerships are forming as likeminded people are
drawn together to rebuild and reestablish the structure in their
lives. I see communities of people of light coming together both on
the physical and spiritual planes. Even though distances separate
them, they are connected by the energy they radiate and their
willingness to work toward a single goal.
In the present is the four of cups. Confusion continues
reign supreme as extreme factions fight for dominance. People, who
have raised their traditions from a way of life to icons of worship,
fight to keep the ability to influence and bully others. To them,
change is the enemy that needs to be destroyed before it can
spread. Conflicts spread as the extremism awakens the sleeping
masses out of their self-absorbed dreams, but instead of finding
support, the moderates find their voice and the courage to speak
out. Banding together they search for their own truths and ways of
creating positive changes for both themselves and the country.
Traditions are examined. Those that are found wanting are tossed
aside. Many seek new ways of living that make sense and bring about
a positive end result. Just because it was done it the past, does
not justify continuing a behavior in the future. If it doesn’t
work, it doesn’t work and something new will be tried.
In the future is the ten of swords. It will be a time of
loss and stress as the battle lines continue to be drawn. Extremes
attempt to polarize the people by pointing the finger at those who
attempt to bring about change and call them evil. Social conflicts
reflect the internal ones as individuals struggle to face their
challenges. The image that comes to mind is the Civil War, as the
cultural, spiritual and political climate becomes increasingly
hostile. Lies are exposed. Truths are ignored or excused by those
with agendas and individuals are unwilling to admit their mistakes
or take responsibility for them. The ability to trust others will
start slipping away as honored people are proven to have feet of
clay. In the mist of the chaos, there will be beacons of light who
will be the voices of reason and wisdom. Like lighthouses battered
in a storm, they will continue to shine, lightning the way to safe
harbor. With new ideas and higher standards, they have
opportunities to create positive and lasting change. It will also
make them targets for those who fear and hate change. There is one
who will rise before the end of 2006 who will not reach his
position, instead he will be come a martyr–struck down by an
assassin’s bullet just before he reaches his goal.
The challenge we will all face continues to be the ace of
pentacles. The new energy radiates to and though all of us. No
matter how deep we bury our fears, they will found and brought to
forefront. Success comes to those who turn and face them. Those
who chose to run will not escape; instead, they will only make the
challenges stronger and themselves weaker. Being overly possessive
of people and things will only push them farther away. However, by
objectively accepting what is, new paths will open up to those who
are willing to explore new territory. For those with courage, this
will be a time of exploration and new discovery.
Energy Reading For August 2006
Written By Staff Writer: Theresa Chaze
August will bring us some of the greatest challenges of our lives and I don’t have to be an intuitive to see it. Between the turmoil in the world and rapid, uncontrolled growth in our souls, there doesn’t seem to be a safe harbor anywhere. Yet this is not true. For those who have been taking on the additional responsibilities, the challenge will be to let go and let God. So many of us have been working hard for so long that we have forgotten what it is like to coast to save energy and allow others to do for us. For A-type souls the next few weeks will feel like they are standing still and watching the world go by; however they are not being passed by, the rest of the world is just catching up. For the spiritual slackers, who have road the coat tails of others, will find themselves unceremonially ditched and have to fend for themselves.
The Tarot card, which represents the energy we are bringing in from the past, is the King of Cups. He is man who is very emotional, sometimes to the point of being out of control. At times, he can be very loving and supportive, but when his dark side is in control, he is irrational and judgmental. When he walks the path of light and love, he gives wise council and is a good friend. The problem is you never know in advance which side of his personality will appear. Part of me would like to say this is an individual, yet this person is merely a symptom of a larger problem. As the extremes on both sides, both political and religious, continue to play tug of war with the middle, many people are finding it more difficult finding their grounding core. It is like being stuck in a wind storm where the wind keeps changing direction; it is hard to maintain your balance if there isn’t any consistency.
The card that represents August is the eight of wands. The watch words for the month will be speed and changeability. There will be no rest, no safe harbor to hide from the emotional winds blowing through our souls. It is a time of rebirth and our heads have started to crown. There is no going back. Those who have done the spiritual work wont be spared but they will be more prepared. Those who depended on others to save them will find themselves alone as the saviors will be busy with their own work. The fears that have given us nightmares in the past will catch up with us this month and there will be no place left to run; we will have to be deal with them. There will not be any other options. This sounds like a dark month spiritually, but it is not. Dealing directly with the fears that have been haunting us is the only way to truly heal and in the healing, the future opens up.
The energy we will take from this month is the four of cups. Spiritual dissatisfaction and stagnation, as many people fight to stay within the bounds of their comfort zone. Fear will keep people from looking beyond the familiar. Keeping with the accustomed ways of life is safe and comforting, but it is also extremely boring. Its like a watching a favorite childhood movie; it brings back fond memories, but it offers no changes or challenges. For those who are willing to grow, the stagnation will be only temporary as the comfort becomes to confining; angry with rise within them as they rally their energy to break free.
The challenge we will all face will come in the form of the ace of pentacles. Although many see pentacles as money, in reality, pentacles represent energy and money is only one of its forms. We will all be made aware that there is a new energy in town. It is a new old being who has returned to shake up and strengthen the power grid. A new way of reaching spiritual growth and wisdom will be created. The old paths no longer work for the new challenges that each of us will be facing. Its time to throw out the old rule books and old methods of finding wisdom; look for the unusual and be open to the subtle messages that will guide you to the new roads to ascension. The individual paths are beginning to converge to create great pathways to the Divine light of love and wisdom. As we come together, we will learn co-operation, tolerance and the true definition of unconditional love.
Energy Reading for July 2006
Staff Writer: Theresa Chaze
The energy reading for July 2006 will be a little different. Instead of three cards, there will be four–past, present and future with the addition of over-all challenging influence. Many of us are once again facing challenges from the past, because we had refused to deal with them. For the next few months, there will be no hiding or dodging them. Instead, they will be in your face until the root cause has been addressed.
During the shuffle, the four of pentacles jumped out of the deck and wanted to speak. The four is the need for security and being able to hold on to what you have. The impressing I’m getting is that many are holding to tight to the past and many opportunities have slipped by. The physical world has taken up much more of everyone’s attention as they look around only to see uncertainty and growing fear. More and more people have started to see alternative ways to take control over their lives; unfortunately, some of them have reasoned that security is as reason or excuse control others or to force their own agenda.
The card representing the past is the ace of pentacles. More than money, pentacles represent energy on all levels; money is just one form of it. This card is saying that we have received new energy in the past, which has awakened old wisdom and knowledge. This is more than an internal process, but an external one was well. As more souls awaken to respond to the growing need, the hidden caches from the past are being revealed and revived. The ancient markers have been set and restored; once again, they lead the way to the ancient secrets, which have been revealed to those who are aware enough to see them. Only by understanding history can the future be seen. In short, by understanding the past, we understand how we got where we are and how we can break down the barriers that keep us ignorant to the truth.
The card representing July is the Page of Pentacles. Again, energy is the primary message. Like all pages, this card is a messenger. It’s is a time of an awakening as like-minded individuals are drawn together to share wisdom and support. Those who have done the work in the past will find a support system beyond their imagination. Those who have refused to deal with their issues in the past will find themselves alone. No longer will they be able to ride the coat tails of the ones who have done the work. Instead, they will be left behind to either catch up on their own or to wallow in their self created hell. Sympathic ears will be deaf to them, while like minded helpmates will soar ahead. Many will find the old adage “what goes around comes around” has now reached the later part of the message. What you have said, done and caused to happen will determine your life for the next few months.
The energy that will be carried out of July is the Wheel of Fortune. The Fates will be taking an active role in everyone’s lives for good or misfortune. They have read what is written on our hearts–the truth, which lies within in us all, and have judged us on that scale. Our true faces will be shown without a place to hide. Now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself or play the blame game. In order to find new options and possibilities you have to first look to your own heart and read the truth there. Only then can you look outward for explanations. Change will happen in unexpected ways and through unexpected channels. Needed information and resources will be brought at the right time but not from the expected sources. Only by being strong within yourself and being able to be flexible, will you be able reach your highest goals.
The new card representing our challenges is the Six of Pentacles. The card represents a generous heart. The energy we have sent out is what we shall receive; the challenge is how we will accept it. The old saying–bread thrown on water will come back to you applies to July. For those who have had a generous heart, blessings will be returned three fold. All good things are possible for those shared though they had little themselves. The challenge for them will be to accept what is offered. For those, who thought only of themselves, another story will be written. However, the Fates will be the authors of their future stories and destinies.
Energy Reading for June, 2006
Written By: Theresa Chaze
This is the energy reading for June, 2006. It’s seems that many people have been feeling a sense of dread or an unexplainable tension. It is something that I have also sensed and experienced in series of nightmares. We are all going to be challenged by forces beyond our control for the next few months. How we deal with the trials will reveal our true character and inner honor. If you give in to the fear, it will only make your life more painful; yet if you act like the golden wheat in the wind and be flexible when the winds of changes blow through your life, you will find a inner strength that will keep you grounded and balanced no matter what kind of chaos is happening around you.
As I was shuffling the deck, the King of Cups popped out and wanted to speak. The King is a man, who is very emotional to the point of being out of control. Sometimes his rashness creates situations that are beyond his understanding. His actions and words create harm and pain in others, yet he remains only aware of his own needs and wants. He can be a good councilor when it is in his best interest. Frequently he is associated with large organizations, such as churches, governments or other the legal establishments. He knows how to work the system to his own benefit.
The Ten of Wands is the energy we are carrying over from the past. All tens are completion; it tells us that there is still work to be done and tasks to be completed. It is also a card of being over burdened and dealing with excess stress. It is a time when we all have more responsibilities than we expected. There are many tasks left undone both in our personal lives and for society. Those who were to help themselves found more satisfaction in playing the victim and left their duties unattended, leaving those who were assigned to help feeling betrayed and used. Nothing will prevent the coming changes; the only variable will be how well prepared each of us will be when the time comes. Those who have done the work will get the credit or grace; however those who found excuses not to heal or allowed the stagnation to rule their lives will find just how difficult life can be.
June’s energy is represented by the Ace of Swords. It’s the minor Justice card; as the sword of truth cuts away the lies to reveal all that is hidden so will it be for the individual and society as a whole. If you have a secret, it will not remain so for long. Strange coincidences and over heard conversations will release the bound truth. As we have prepared ourselves so shall we be prepared to change the directions of our lives. This is not Armageddon, but the rebalancing of power and the revelation of true faces. Long term plans made at this time will not come to be, as the playing field suddenly shifts. Yet those who prepare themselves emotionally and spiritually for change will find new beginnings and hope, because they will have the secure base to fight the fear and confusion. Those who have not done the work will find there is no one left who is willing to help them and they will have to find their way alone. Personally responsibility and honor will be the paramount judging tool.
We will take the Three of Pentacle into the future. It will be a time for rebirth and renewal. New paths and wisdom will be opened. New inner strengths will be found and shared. But only for those who are willing to think out side their narrow teaching. Those who stubbornly hold on to the past will only find struggle and hardship as they attempt to stop others from changing. We are each responsible for ourselves. To try to save another or force them to change beyond there capacity to do so will only cause ourselves pain and frustrate our own progress. The Christian saying–as ye sow, so shall ye reap–will be the path we will all start down. Excuses and justifications will no longer be accepted. Nor will traditional methods continue to work. Change will increase exponentially, leaving many to ask the question–what happened to their world? Moving forward will become easier for those who are open and willing to let go of their expectations.
Energy Reading for May
By Staff Writer: Theresa Chaze
In the month of May, there will be challenges we all must face on one level or another. The energy levels and wavelengths are two of these challenges. How they will affect us will depend on us as individuals and what karmic stuff we are working on. This reading is to give you the heads up on what we will all be facing. The reading consists of three cards, representing the past, present and the future. Each card will give the general atmosphere of the energy in that position.
While I was shuffling two cards jumped out of the deck, wanting my attention. The page of wands is a card of messages as they relate to business and enterprise. It is the business of life. The other card was the Fool. This major arcana tells us that the challenge will be to have faith and courage. Trusting ourselves and the Divine at this time will be very important. There are no coincidences or accidental meetings. Just the Divine giving you options.
The card of the past represents what kind of energy and challenges we have carried over from April. It is the World. From the past, we have options that we still haven’t used. There are resources that we haven’t tapped into yet, mostly because we haven’t seen them. It talks about moving through the ending of the old and being open to the new possibilities in our life. By hanging on to the old and worn, we limit what we can bring into our lives now. It is what keeps us stagnant and stuck in old beliefs. However, if we chose to see beyond what we have learned to expect, there are alternatives; the only one keeping us from seeing them is ourselves.
The card for April is the four of pentacles. It is being able to hang on to what is important to us. It gives a sense of security and comfort when the winds of change create hurricanes in our lives. The four also talks about material comforts and financial pursuits. Look for alternatives, but do not give up the on what you have until you have found something to replace it. For those looking for new employment or a business opportunities, you must investigate to make sure it is a sound deal before you make the change. Although we are carrying many options from the past into this month, many of them will have already gone beyond our reach.
The five of wands is the energy we will take out of this month. Stress and frustration at having lost what we didn’t know we had will be our general feeling. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or to express you feelings. Although the opportunity may have passed for you, it might be coming on the horizon for another. Again, getting the facts and clarifying situations will be extremely important. Don’t guess or assume you know what others mean or need. By clearing the air and getting the straight facts, misunderstandings are avoided or cleared, thereby reducing the stress in our lives and opening up other avenues to us.
April’s Energy Reading
By Staff Writer: Theresa Chaze
April will again be a month of many changes both on a
physical and spiritual levels. We will all be facing resistance
from others who do not want to be challenged to changed. They are
comfortable in the familiar and traditional; to them change is at
best bad, at worse evil. When I was shuffling the cards to start
the energy reading for April, the High Priest and the King of
Pentacles jumped out and wanted my attention. The High Priest is
the card of secret wisdom and knowledge, but it can also represent
stagnation and fear of the unknown. The King of Pentacles is the
master of energy; it can also be a very logical person who knows how
to put things into perspective.
The energy we will all dealing with for the month of April
of more of the physical than spiritual realm, meaning we will be
dealing more with physical and emotional issues. Each of us will
be presented with situations that will teach us what we need to
learn the most. Although the experiences will be similar, the
challenges will be individual.
The energy we are bringing in from the past is the nine of
pentacles. Although we have gotten may of the physical things we
have asked for and sought through many means, they have not made us
happen. The challenge is to find happiness, security, and comfort
from within; it is the only way we will be manifested those things
in the physical world. In order to see it we have to be it.
Sometimes the only way we can find the answers we seek is to
separate and find the core of who we truly are. It’s in the
aloneness that we remember what is important to us.
April’s energy is represented by the Fool. Trust and the
ability to take chances will be brought into the forefront of our
lives. Those who are willing to face their fears and take the risks
are the ones who will be rewarded the most. However, rewards are
not always tangible assets. More often than not the booty will be
in the form of self appreciation and awareness. By being able to
find our own beauty and uniqueness we are able to project it
outward. The old saying of likes attract alike will be true for
this month. What image you project is how the world will see you.
See the positives in yourself and the world. See your beauty,
wisdom and courage. Magically others with the same perspective
will appear in your life. Have the courage to try the new–to
explore the unknown The rewards will be more than you expect.
The Devil is the energy that will come out of April. There
will be no possession by evil forces and the writing of best selling
books written about the experience–unless you consider materialism
run amuck is an evil force. The outside world will require much of
our attention both for our personal selves and society in general. I
get the impression that the revelation of long kept truths will have
many of us questioning our own judgments and perspectives. Many of
the truths we held dear will be found to be false. People we
thought as honorable will be revealed to be dark souls. All of which
will create fear and instability. The challenge will be to stand
back and not take anything personally. By doing so we are able to
be the dancing reed instead of the brittle unbending oak. Yes the
roots of the oak run deep in tradition, but its inflexibility makes
it easier to break and topping over. The reed bends in the wind and
is left standing when the storm is over.
Energy Reading for March,2006
By Staff Writer: Theresa Chaze
This is the month of March energy reading. I guess better
late than never. With this three card reading, I talk about what
kind of energy we all will be challenged with. So it is not a
personal reading, but for everyone who is in this sector. It is a
heads up of what tests we will all face. Where we are on our
spiritual path and which individual lessons we are working on will
determine in what form the challenges will be presented. It could
be in the spiritual, physical or emotional realms. However the trial
appears, the underlying message will be the same for all of us.
The Knight of Swords is the card of the past. This card
reveals how the actions and energy of the past will affect us during
March. Although many of us were on the defensive, we found the
strength and energy to keep moving forward. On an intellectually
level we understood why we found ourselves facing negativity that
was not of our making. But emotionally and physically it taxed our
ability to keep going. Exhaustion and frustration frequently led to
depression and illness as we were using everything we had to keep
afloat. Many of us found ourselves getting stuck in anger, refusing
to allow ourselves to see how much we were gaining while we were
running the maze–or better said obstacle course. No matter how we
tried, it seemed we were getting no where; however this is far from
true. If it had been easy, we wouldn’t have gained the stamina we
now have.
The Emperor is what colors March. Now we are rebalancing on
many levels. For many of us the physical, spiritual and emotional
needs have been in conflict, creating an imbalance. For this month
through trial and error we will find our personal balance of all
three elements. No longer will we look outside ourselves for our
life’s model or see ourselves through others’ eyes. Instead we will
work toward clearing the old perceptions and do our best to see
situations as they truly are. By attempting true sight, we are able
to make more accurate decisions and have a clearer vision of the
future. By doing so, we are less likely to get caught up in the
flurry of the emotions which will be flying about as everyone
releases. Almost every day we will encounter irrational fears and
anger, both in ourselves and others. Keeping yourself grounded and
healthy will be the best way to protect yourself from being caught
up. Eating, exercising, sleeping and simplicity of playing will be
your best defenses.
The energy of March will affect the future as described by
the Ten of Cups. If we did the work during March, we will be
positive influences on the future as we are better able to share our
talents and visions. We will also be grounding influences for
others who were not able to sort through the falsehoods to find
their inner truth. In doing so we will be their support posts,
keeping them from spinning off into irrationality. This does not
mean we are to do their work, but by not giving into their mania or
depression we keep them from sliding further down the dark path. By
standing our ground and calling the duck a duck, we don’t enable
them to enjoy their pity-party. They will either start healing or
they will find someone who will indulge them. Either way, they will
no longer be a block in your road. The exciting changes in our
lives will be brought about not through hard work but through
working well and finding peace within ourselves. World peace begins
in the hearts of every individual–put enough candles together and
you get a light that can be seen into space. What we are willing to
ask for, we will be presented. The question is do you have the
courage to ask for your hearts desire and be able to share your
visions with the world. Last month we learned to take out the
trash; by doing so we cleared the way for us to find what we need to
move forward.
