Tarot Tuesday ~ Judgement (+ a sneak peek at my new Tarot Deck)

 

I am so excited about a new Tarot project I’ve been working on!  I’ve recently commissioned a very talented artist, Michael Shirley, to design a set of Tarot cards for me.  I’d love to share a sneak peek and while giving you a Tarot Tuesday Card of the Day!

The Judgement card shows up to tell you to take some time out for self reflection. Its your time to move forward to a new, more elevated phase in your life, but before that happens take the opportunity now to stop and think about lessons learned. What are the things you want to leave behind and what do you want to take with you as you start a new chapter in your life? Are there people you can choose to forgive, are there some shifts in outlook and emotions that are important to make? Often this is the stage of creating deeper awareness and paradigm shifts. Let go of unnecessary “baggage” and create space for new memories ~ you’re about to begin your exciting new journey!

 

How a Tarot Session Changed Her Lover From Whiner to Winner

Lately I’ve been noticing a theme with my Tarot clients…

they’ve been coming to me with a strong desire to know what the cards have to say about their current love relationship.  Yes, I know, that’s par for the course for a Tarot Reader/Coach like me.  But these days many of my clients are bringing their partners with them so that I can do a Lovers Tarot Reading.  This is *awesome* because I get a chance to not only see what’s really going on with both sides of the relationship but I can also work with the reactions once the card meanings are revealed.  What do I mean by that?  Well, with one of the couples from a recent Lovers Tarot Reading, the male partner was hesitant about coming to see me because he was dubious about what the cards could possibly reveal about the situation.  Being a man of “logic” he told her he doubted that Tarot cards could tell him anything of value. Nice. But he came because, well, she pretty much insisted.  He immediately changed his tune when he realized that the cards brought up issues that he had been side stepping for a while, like the fact that he felt she was taking him for granted and had lately been spending way more time out with her friends than at home with him.  If he hadn’t come to the Lovers Tarot session he wouldn’t have been able to say how he felt without seeming like he was being a whiny b*yotch.  So what was his “solution” pre Tarot session?  Sulking. And doing the passive aggressive withholding sex thing.  Ummm yaaaa, NEVER a good thing…

Anyway, the result of the readings not only gave them clarity about what was happening and opened up a dialog but also helped to provide some really specific answers on how to fix things between them.   He enjoyed the session so much he even said “Make sure you put that in the Lovers Report!” when the cards revealed she was indeed putting others ahead of him and how it made him feel.   From the readings he learned she needed him to be more straightforward and vocal with his needs and he has seen that by doing this, there has been very positive responses from her (i.e. lots of attention, affection and time).

In another situation, the couple that came to see me seemed at first to be pretty drama free, until the Moon reversed showed up to reveal that one of the partners didn’t have much trust for the other.  Oops .  While the cards also revealed that there was no real reason for not trusting her partner, the Devil  card showed up to tell us that she had some serious trust issues from past relationships that were still plaguing her. But she hadn’t told her current love that she still hadn’t fully healed from these past traumas.  So while one person was blissfully ignorant, the other put on a faux happy face that was hiding some demons.  Through our session they were able to address her trust issues in a real way and create a plan to help her feel more confident about herself and the relationship.   And with the Report that came with the reading, they are able to refer to it and look back at any advice given by the cards.

{Manifesting Monday} Desires vs. Beliefs

I’ve seen and heard this many times – a client will tell me they want something, such as a new job or a love relationship, but then the next words that come out of their mouth is
“but I don’t know if I believe that it exists” or “I don’t think it will really happen for me.”

Desires vs. Beliefs means that what you say you want and what you believe is your “reality”  is at odds with each other.  In your heart you know you really want something but your head cuts you off with “stop with that silly daydreaming!”  So guess what?  Your beliefs will most often win.  Why?  Because when we believe something to be true, we look for proof -reasons why – it has to be true, even if it works against our heart’s desires.

When working with my clients, I use the Tarot to help them get clear on what they want, which is really Stage One of Manifesting – CLARITY.  Once their desires are clear we look for the blocks, like the opposing beliefs we were just talking about.    A client from this weekend told me that he wanted to leave his job for a better paying one that he could be passionate about.   Then I waited for what I knew would come next “…but I don’t think I can find that.” 

What I suggest for my clients to do is, instead of finding reasons why something can’t happen, find reasons why it can.  And make those reasons so strong that your beliefs change to help you find your desires, not fight against them.  I know that it may be natural for some people to have a negative belief come up first so I suggest you try this

Write down at the top of a piece of paper what you want to manifest. 

Example:

I want to get married and have a family

Next, write down the first reason that comes into your head why this will not happen for you

I don’t believe that there is anyone out there who I can fall in love with and will fall in love with me

Now, what I need you to do is write down 5 Reasons Why it is Not True

1. I haven’t really been looking for love, I’ve  been a hermit

2. I know people who have fallen in love and gotten married who are similar to me

3. I am a lovable person with lots to offer a partner

4. There are plenty of people out there that are ready to have a serious relationship and at least one of them is looking for someone like me

5. People fall in love every day

Do this exercise to combat every negative thought that comes into your head.  If the thought is:  “I can’t leave my relationship because I can’t find someone else to love me” then write down 5 reasons why that is not true.  It must be at least five because its important that the reasons why its not true are stronger than why you think this negative belief is true.  When you practice this way of thinking, soon enough those reasons why you CAN get something will win over and law of attraction will work in your favor.  And yes, while it may not be an overnight change -you’ve had those negative beliefs for a while after all -I’ve seen amazing things happen with my clients all the time.  They have gone from being in jobs they can’t stand to attracting or creating a career they love.  They have attracted healthy love into their lives when their old beliefs told them love was not meant for them. 

Even if you are a skeptic, try it, and see what happens.  I would love to hear what changes happen for you – Julierose@livelovetarot.com 

 

{Manifesting Monday} Using the Law of Attraction

I’ve had a lot of new clients in the last few weeks, many of them new to getting their Tarot cards read and “this law of attraction stuff.”  So for this week’s Manifesting Monday post, I thought I would go back to some basics.

Before you continue to read this blog, I’d like for you to look around you and think about what you see.   The chair you are sitting on.  The framed photos on your desk.  Books that you love.   Even if you are in a cafe or library, please take note of everything.  Do you realize that before any of these items were in your possession or around you, someone had to think about making them? There was an idea, perhaps a plan, then action and creation. In fact the room and situation you created for yourself may have come to you because you thought about what you wanted. The most basic principal of creativity simply states that your thought creates. If you want something, whether it be an experience or a thing, begin first by having a clear and focused thought of what it is you want.

Wherever you clearly put your focus, you attract and create.  That is the Law of Attraction.

Think about something you desire. Concentrate and focus as clearly as possible on what you want. If  the vision of what you want is not clear, then your focus will be blurred.  If what you want is heartfelt, your focus will be sharp. Desire directs focus. Blurry desires will never materialize but focused desires will. Clear focus is like the mind’s magic wand.  It points your creativity in a specific direction and channels all your energy and experience behind it. 

Whatever you focus on, you attract into your life whether you want to or not.

Sometimes you may find yourself focusing on negative things. The Law of Attraction doesn’t decipher what is negative or positive. It just gives you whatever you clearly focus on.

Are you focusing on your bad relationships? You’ll attract even more of the same. Focus instead on how excited you are to attract new healthy relationships.

Always thinking about how broke you are and confused why you continue to not have money? Hmmmmm, do you know the answer now? Yes, you’re getting the hang of it… focus instead on how great it is to be in the process of acquiring more money.

For this week’s Manifesting Monday exercise, write down something specific that you want to bring into your life. Imagine it clearly. Use all your senses to bring it to life. What do you see, smell, taste, feel, hear when you imagine having it? Put yourself in the picture of your vision. Can you see and feel yourself having the thing you want? The clearer the picture the stronger your ability to manifest your desire. Even if you are skeptical, for an experiment just play along and imagine anyway.  Something amazing may come out of it.

What will you choose to think about this week?

Manifesting Mantras for your Mirror

My 14-year old niece is awesome at Photoshop so I hired her to make me some Manifesting Mantras using my BFF’s Vanity Girl Hollywood mirrors.  (Thanks Jordyn!)

What are Manifesting Mantras and whats the connection with mirrors? Well, when we look in a mirror we can choose to see ourselves in a positive light by focusing on what’s amazing and beautiful, or we can focus on what we dislike and make ourselves depressed in the process. Have you ever noticed the way that many lonely, unhappy and financially struggling people talk? What words do they use? What they have accepted as the truth for themselves?  What we choose to see and what we focus on greatly affects our self esteem and how we move and present ourselves in the world.

With Manifesting Mantras you can choose to look in the mirror and tell yourself wonderful positive things about what you see (“I love my body that is unique and special”), what you want to create (“I am in the process of having a successful multi million dollar business”), or what you want to feel (“I choose to share my happiness today”)

A Manifesting Mantra can help you change your outlook and how you feel about your life as you are saying to your subconscious mind, “I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change.” When you pay attention to your thoughts, you can begin to eliminate the ones creating experiences you do not want in your life.

WHAT TO DO:

Twice a day, stand in front of a mirror and repeat your positive affirmation ten times. 

This week’s Manifesting Mantra

“Always believe something wonderful is about to happen”

If doubts, fears or negative thoughts come up, just recognize them for what they are—old limiting beliefs that want to stay around. Say to them gently: Go away- I no longer need you. And then repeat your positive affirmation again.

Tarot Tuesday – Death {Endings and Beginnings}

When my clients see the The Death card in a reading some of them gasp in horror. I assume they are thinking literally, which of course would be, um not too good. Luckily I, like most readers, use the Tarot for its symbolic meanings to help understand and read the story of my clients lives. Today’s Tarot card- the Devil – shows up to tell you that there will be a major conclusion in an area of your life. This is a change that is monumental – an ending of circumstances that were dragging on for far too long and the only way to make a clean break is to have a sharp ending. The key point to remember here is that where there is an ending, there is also a beginning. So while you may mourn this loss, understand that what comes next could be a beautiful new beginning.

{Manifesting Monday} Embrace Failure

When I look  at my clients and friends who have experienced extraordinary amounts of success in manifesting their goals, I notice that many of them have a similar out look about “failing” – they aren’t scared of it.   Their mindset is  different.  For them its more exciting to go after what they want,  than it is scary to fail.

Successful people will tell you they have failed. That, in fact, they have failed many times. The difference between these high achievers and the rest is that even though you have heard and read all those familiar quotes about failing and the value of lessons learned, successful people actually believe them.

If you want to experience more success, it is important for you to start looking forward to failing.   Make it part of the process, and believe that with each try and failure, you are learning more and more – not just about the thing that you want but about yourself.  You are learning what it takes to make you happy, what you need to do, and who you need to be, in order to succeed.

Try This:  Every day take a risk.  Start small.

• Try something new.   An exotic  dish at a new restaurant.
• Spend more money on something you think you might love.
• Travel somewhere.  It doesn’t have to be far.
• Mix it up.  Try a new route to work.  Walk there.  Ride a bike.  Take  public transportation.
• Make a new friend.  Go on Meetup.com and pick an event and go.  Take a friend, or even better, go by yourself.  It makes you have to meet people if you are alone.
• Start a side project.  You love taking photos and been told you are great at it?  Start a new side photography biz.
• Try a new form  of exercise.  Used to doing yoga only?  Try Pilates or the Bar Method. Get a trainer and learn how to properly use the different machines at your gym.

Taking these kinds of “risks” every day may soon feel like fun and when things don’t work out the way you want (aka failing) you can brush it off and try something else.   That is a winning Manifesting Mindset!

{Tarot Tuesday} The Chariot

You’ve been thinking about which way to go but you know in your heart there is really only one road you want to take. The Chariot shows up to tell us it’s time to make that choice. The card can be interpreted as showing you that you are in a situation in which you have two directions to go and perhaps you have been slow to move forward because you have been confused or perhaps the timing has not been right. But now it is time to take the reins and decide.

In an example from one of my clients- “S” has two choices. Go with the charismatic woman who he has fallen for months ago but has been erratic in how she has shown her affections or choose the new woman who has given him lots of positive attention? While the choice may be obvious to some, he has gone with his heart. He chooses the former, someone who has captured his heart and who he believes is the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Remembering our Magical Powers

Another 6- Week Manifesting Group started last Thursday with a kick ass  group of powerful women.  How do I know they are powerful if we just started? Because the first thing I do is have them write down all the things they have already manifested in their lives.  And what a list! From creating their ideal jobs, to attracting love interests and winning fabulous trips these women have used their powers to create some truly inspiring things.   In fact one of my favorite parts of group is when my clients do this,  because it not only reminds them who they are and what they have accomplished, but I also get to hear some real cool manifestations…and OMG so often they are mind blowing.

I had a client the other day who told me that just by walking around her city (West Hollywood) she has attracted  her billionaire partners for her beauty business,  and also offers to work on some movies both behind the scenes and on camera.  By talking to her about this, I  helped remind her that she has always had the power to bring some amazing things into her life, so why not the love of her life? Each of my clients who come to me about wanting to create and attract their ideals have all shown that they have the power to do it.  Sometimes they have just forgotten who they are.  They need a reminder of how magical they are.  And to get specific about the attraction process, I go over who they were when they attracted such things. 

• What was your energy like when you brought these things to your life?  Were you mostly positive or negative? Low energy, high energy?
  
• Were you open to opportunities? 
• Did you believe you could? 
• Did you easily picture the possibility? 
• Were you  focused on it and take action?
• Did you trust your instincts?
• Were you committed but not attached (not acting like a control freak when the opportunity showed up). 

These are some of the things that you can do to harness your magic which is what I love working with my clients on.  I am so excited for the end of the 6 Week Group to see what these  particular Magicians come up with! 

TRY THIS : Make a list of 10 things that you have manifested into your life in the last few years .  Then next to each thing, answer the questions that I asked above.  When you look at your answers you can see how you might emulate your own actions and energy to attract more amazing things into your life.

Relationship Readings – Robsten

In the last few weeks I’ve been asked to a lot of relationship readings.  I don’t know if its that Mercury  is in retrograde or that the hot weather is making people cranky and impatient but couples all over are having some major challenges.   I’ve seen misunderstandings lead to huge fights (Wheel of Fortune reversed), “boredom” to possible infidelity (Lovers reversed) and a lack of feeling loved (Empress reversed) lead to requesting separation (World reversed).   Otherwise “happy” couples have been antsy to see me to help prevent impending break ups  (or to help navigate the next steps after one).

One of the ways I get insight to what’s going on is through an 8 Card Relationship reading.  Want to see how it works?  For fun,  I’ll use a well known couple to show you.  You don’t have to be a tabloid junkie to know about the recent controversy involving the  young lovers, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson (lovingly called Robsten by Twi-hards everywhere).  She cheated with her older, married director – he left their love nest.

Here are the cards I chose for them and what they mean:

The Lovers reversed in the middle left represents K’s (for Kristen) situational which shows she was unfaithful and now dealing with the repercussions of the affair .  Lovers reversed not only stands for cheating or open relationship but can also mean an unbalanced dynamic in a relationship.  In this case, it would be both as it shows that she also had more “power” over R (Robert).   The Star reversed for R’s side  shows he’s in pain and very vulnerable.  The cards show that R is a very sensitive person and this betrayal has cut deep.   The Moon reversed between them shows that all the facts have not been told.  The Moon reversed stand for disappointment and disillusionment as well as lies.  The Tower reversed above her side tells us that the cheating had probably been going on longer than a one time situation as the relationship was being destroyed over a longer period time than just this time they were caught.  Hermit for him means he wants time along to think about what to do next.  High Priestess reversed tells us that she is spinning now and trying to figure out what she can do to get him back .   The Chariot reversed on his side shows that he is back and forth in his feelings and has not made a decision about the relationship.  This is not a black and white situation for him.  While he is angry and hurt he still has love for her.   Temperance between them shows us patience and time apart is needed right now.  If she can be honest and not push him into getting back together, they may find a way to work this out.
