[Serenity Bly] Now, Jen wants a year overview in three card?
[Miss Michelle] ooohh!! I think you better draw these, SB, as I may be too biased w/ inside knowledge.
[Serenity Bly] Ok. Let me do a quick shuffle then.
[Miss Michelle] Just because I KNOW what the cards will be… and that’s not a good way to start a reading.
[Serenity Bly] pfft, there she is with her preconceived notions.
[Jen_N] I am quite excited about this year.
[Serenity Bly] OHhhhhhhh Can I have your 2010, Jen?
[Miss Michelle] ROFLMAO!! I guess it’s not just my beliefs.
[Serenity Bly] In the past we see The Moon. 2009 was a bit of a mess, you lacked direction and have been rocked by life throwing its boulders in your path.
[Miss Michelle] I also see the Moon as deception… often self-deception.
[Jen_N] Yeah. You could say that. A mess inside and out a lot of times, it seems. And, yes, there was some substantial self-deception (unconscious/unrealized, perhaps) going on.
[Miss Michelle] I think you were psyching yourself out, deceiving yourself into believing you were less than you are.
[Serenity Bly] I feel like there may have been a significant health scare. Literally the potential for terminal illness but the next two cards makes me fairly certain that that scare didn’t substantiate. But mostly the Moon indicates emotional upset and a lack of self-esteem. You’re torn between your passions and interests which destroyed any sense of focus and got in the way of your ability to look ahead with any clarity.
[Jen_N] Yeah. Been going to the local Wound Care Center for diabetes-related problems with my left leg. I think so, MM. When I would get glimpses into that, I actually scared myself. Now I’m working on embracing that.
[Serenity Bly] In the present we see The Wheel of Fortune. This one is upright, you’re open to the guidance of fate. You’re being given a greater destiny and just have to listen to where you’re being sent next.
[Miss Michelle]
[Serenity Bly] Pay attention, look outside and in. And then follow your heart and soul because it’ll make you some very good money.
[Miss Michelle] Upright also typically means simply, “A change in things for the better,” too, right?
[Serenity Bly] The future for this year shows an Eight of Pentacles, working steadfastly to master a skill/trade and doing well from it. Making a career, a lifestyle, from whatever you’re putting your hands to. You’re physically involved in creating and are developing your abilities, honing the craft.
[Jen_N] I honestly have to laugh out loud at “putting your hands to.” That could be taken quite literally. I started a new site today since I can’t do Etsy at the moment due to lack of a credit card. But I *do* have PayPal and Weebly has a shopping cart function I can use.
[Miss Michelle] Nice! Crafting?
[Jen_N] Yup. I’m putting my jewelry, crochet, and some painting on there.
[Serenity Bly] There is no sense of hardship or warning coming from these cards. But with three cards it’s impossible to get a full view of an entire year. It’s a highlight and if you’d like more detail I recommend the 12-Month Spread.
It’s exciting to do reading in the chat room each week. Each chat session reveals new opportunities and insights into the lives of our visitors. And, in exciting news we’ve upgraded the chat room and are now hosting it from our very own site. I hope you’ll join us this week, at the same time, Wednesday 9.30pm EST for Tarot Chat.
Last Wednesday, Miss Michele and Serenity Bly read for Stacey in the Echo of One chat room. Join us Wednesday morning, 10 AM EST for more free readings and Tarot chat.
Stacey wants to know, now that she’s home, what aspects of her career should she focus on?
[Miss Michele] Wow, Stacey… okay I’m using my Rider-Waite Deck.
Serenity Bly is looking forward to the cards. 
[Miss Michele] The Hermit in the past shows that you have been in a sort of self-imposed mental exile, learning, planning and plotting.
You achieved some great insights about your self, discovered you want to do something “different” but aren’t quite sure what.
The second card, in the near future, shows you’re very ready to take the leap… it is The Fool. You are very much in the *start* of your journey. Whatever you do, it will be a great departure from what you’ve done in the past.
[Serenity Bly] The Fool is always all about taking risks, Stacey. Don’t be afraid to do a little leaping before you look.
[Miss Michele] It seems that, just as you aren’t sure WHAT you want to do, neither are the cards.
[Serenity Bly] The cards, for those just joining us, are The Hermit in the Past, The Fool in the Present, and Future, MM?
[Miss Michele] The Hermit (past), The Fool (near future), and the Seven of Swords (final outcome). But I’m thinking of drawing a clarification card since that seven isn’t really giving Stacey a definitive answer.
[Stacey] So far you’re right on target
[Miss Michele] The advice from the Tarot would be, be careful of self-deception.
[stacey] LOL– Greeeeeeeeeeeat.
[Miss Michele] Make sure you are going in a direction that is what YOU want… not what is expected of you and if you decide to partner with anyone–be wary.
[Serenity Bly] This moment, and the ones surrounding it have major significance in your life. The Hermit and The Fool being Major Arcana are cards that show your path being mapped. They’re life-changing concepts and the only way to truly accept the direction your life is taking now is to embrace what comes to you. Follow your heart. The Seven Swords of the future insists you also take action. Work at it, set your feet to the ground and start running.
[Miss Michele] Might be a good time to do a personality profile type thing, or simply journal — write down as many things you can think of that you love. That will reveal hints.
[Miss Michele] Yes, Serenity, thank you– I meant to get to that. When I saw the first two majors I was like holy sh–… she’s going through some life-changing stuff.
[Miss Michele] The clarification card is the Two of Cups. Do what you LOVE. Figure out what that is, regardless of how illogical it may seem, and jump in with both feet. Two of Cups is ALL about following your heart–Serenity was typing that before I even revealed the card. She knows.
[Stacey] LOL, very interesting.
[Miss Michele] Remember, with the Two and the Fool and the Hermit–it’s the beginning stages. Don’t expect immediate results, although the Seven of Swords does point toward some measure of success right away. But don’t listen to naysayers.
[Serenity Bly] I want to just also mention that since no Pentacles or money cards came up whatever path you choose probably won’t be the one that appears to be more financially rewarding than other opportunities. Part of the risk taking you need to do as The Fool is to accept what might be less financially rewarding because it will be more emotionally and mentally rewarding.
[Stacey] I was JUST working on opening up a new Tarot business while still writing. I have a talent for doing what I love instead of doing what is $$ rewarding. I love the cards you’ve drawn, they’re right on the money. Thank you!
A few months ago I asked the lovely Miss Michele to do my 2009, 12-Month Spread. I’ve had Miss Michele do these spreads for me a couple of times now and am always amazed in hindsight at how accurately they reflect the year’s activities. Looking back at April, May, and June 2009 I have to admit this reading is coming up with almost spooky accuracy. I just couldn’t resist sharing my reading with you.
In a long overdue 12-month, 13-card spread for my partner Serenity Bly (it’s the old shoemaker’s children situation!) Miss Michele has discovered that April 2009 is Serenity’s month to conquer the World. Whether that “world” is a video game, the blogosphere or some other endeavor, time will tell. But even better things are to come!
Overview: 2009 will be/is a year of learning and profit, during which time Serenity’s worst fears will be the stuff nightmares are made of. However, fearing and worrying is a waste of time as the worst will not materialize. (Ah, it so rarely does!) Serenity Bly takes time this year to learn how to manipulate her environment and hone her skills. She is studying, with an emphasis on the occult (well, go figure!) to get what she has a right to financially. (Don’t worry, dear readers, we’re not raising our rates here at Future-Tarot.) Serenity’s biggest worry will be working too hard. The word “possibilities” is literally whispering to Miss Michele during this reading.
April: The World
As already stated, April will present Serenity Bly with The World at her fingertips. Possibilities are ripe for, well, anything.
May: The Magician
By May, Serenity learns how to manipulate her environment and use the tools at her disposal to conquer the World, which presented itself in April. Although The Magician in Miss Michele’s preferred deck, Hanson-Roberts, is a man, Miss Michele detects a feminine energy in this card. It represents none other than the querent, who will use her intuition, intelligence and technical skills to keep her business going strong.
June: Seven of Pentacles
June brings additional emphasis on business and financial possibilities. With the Seven of Pentacles, she will begin to reap the rewards of several newly-launched passive income businesses and affiliate marketing Web sites, and will be afforded the opportunity to sit back and watch them grow. Just as things are taking off, now, she may consider a change of direction, as well.
July: King of Pentacles and Three of Swords
The King of Pentacles and Three of Swords stuck together during this reading to appear in July, leaving Miss Michele to draw one conclusion: a man will break Serenity’s heart. It will be someone she views as a mentor—perhaps even someone she meets in the business world. While it may not be a romantic encounter, the end result of a broken heart will sting as much as a love lost.
August: The Star
In August, The Star appears reminding Serenity of the power and strength of her intuition. There is a strong emphasis on the occult and, once again, great possibilities in front of her.
September: Six of Cups
The Six of Cups represents a joyful past. Serenity begins considering what she did right – in business and romance – in the past and begins longing for the way things were. What can she do to bring back elements of a happier time?
October: Eight of Pentacles
2009, for Serenity, is characterized by periods of learning and growth, followed by time to relax and enjoy those rewards. This continues with the Eight of Pentacles in October, when she may take a course or class, which will help grow her business further.
November: Judgment
And again, in November, she will rest to reap the rewards, this time characterized by the major arcane Judgment. She will be judged favorably by peers and may receive a cash settlement, related to real estate, an outstanding lawsuit, or money owed from a client.
December: Page of Swords
The Page of Swords comes bearing a message, and once again, the emphasis is on matters of business, learning and financial success. Serenity works hard to increase her intellect, but fears it is not enough. Pessimism rears its ugly head… the phrase for this hot Australian summer is: “This too shall pass.”
January: Ten of Swords
It all gets to be a bit too much come January, with the Ten of Swords heralding a forced rest. Two pages in the spread, along with the star and King of Pentacles may foretell of a pregnancy and, if that’s the case, there may be forced bed-rest in January. Otherwise an illness, or perhaps just sheer exhaustion, will force Serenity into a phase of withdrawal. She may feel as if all she wants to do is surrender to the Universe. Remember, Serenity, your state of mind is your worst enemy. Rely on your friends and support network to get you through… Change is around the corner!
February: Knight of Pentacles
Knights herald change, so the Knight of Pentacles reveals yet another change in financial status—once again, for the better. (Ah, the life of a freelancer.) Serenity’s health issues pass without serious incident, placing her in a position to face whatever the Universe will throw at her next. Perseverance and hard work prevail.
March: Page of Cups
The Page of Cups in March 2010 marks a birth… a literal (albeit slightly premature?) birth of a child, or birth of yet another business? The emphasis is on creative energy and growth—and exactly what Serenity needs at this point in her life.
Serenity, Miss Michele has tossed a lot at you in this spread. Please follow-up and let me know if you’d like clarification on any points.
Each week, we offer free tarot readings and talk all things tarot at The Echo of One, a site dedicated to the exploration of spiritual topics with open-minded acceptance.
I love doing readings with Miss Michele which makes our Wednesday Tarot Chat all the more exciting. Our energy keys together and we develop a synergy that enhances both our abilities to connect with the cards and the querient. Below is a transcript from a recent Wednesday Tarot Chat.
Bexg asked: “My husband is trying to start his own business, do you see that being successful?”
[MissMichele] I’m using the Hanson-Roberts Deck for now. Wow… (sidenote, I love how visual this deck is…) Three is heading off into a new venture, and you have two of those in this reading, which is propitious. The three cards (because Serenity doesn’t like to wait, LOL) are King of Cups, Three of Rods, and Three of Pentacles. To cut to the chase, because this card is just screaming to me, he’s going to have a lot to learn. That is shown by the three of Pentacles.
[SerenityBly] mmm very nice cards. It shows a young business that is finding its feet.
[MissMichele] He may want to take a course to bone up in areas he’s not familiar with, as there are many aspects related to running a business, not all of which may be his expertise, but overall, things look very very good. What prompted him to start the business is a strong desire to help people, and you can’t argue with those motives. (Shown in the King of Cups). He will bring gentle leadership and… genuineness… to the business. He’s very trustworthy and that will work to his benefit.
[MissMichele] It is important to note, with three minor arcana, the success of the business depends ENTIRELY on him. He’s going about this the right way. In the near future, the Three of Rods shows him writing a business plan, lining up capital… doing everything with a solid plan and foundation.
[SerenityBly] He’s invested emotionally in this business and I think it’s wonderful that you’re showing support, Bexg. He’ll need your support because it means a lot to him that he makes this a success. With all business it’s going to be a challenging road but I really do think he has great footings, a firm foundation, and the commitment to this to make it work.
[MissMichele] I feel like he left his corporate job/day job because the people there were less than scrupulous and also he was overworked, doing too much. He couldn’t trust people. But he hasn’t let that sour him, just means he has learned to dot his is and cross his ts better.
[BEXG] hasn’t quite left his day job yet but that’s next on the horizon
[MissMichele] What he has to do is not let his need for perfection delay him… planning is good, but he needs to take that step toward action. I don’t see a lot of “action” in this reading, and that will be the next step. He’s in the VERY early stages, but he shouldn’t procrastinate. Take long enough to do things right, learn what he needs to learn, but then make a move!
[BEXG] I agree, I keep telling him that.
[SerenityBly] He’s probably very aware of the impact his choices will have on you, his family. As a King of Cups he’s very home oriented and will worry about this kind of choice because it risks your security. Make sure he knows you support his choices. See what you can do to make things feel more stable for him. Help him bouy up that courage with your faith in his abilities.
[MissMichele] EXACTLY what Serenity said and he’s concerned about making the move because of how it will affect you, and others. The King of Cups is caring and thinking about others, in this case, almost to a fault.
[BEXG] YES I agree totally
[SerenityBly] Certainly to the detriment of his own happiness if he feels his loved ones needs don’t mesh with his own. So, he’s really going to need your support. He has the tools to build on the foundations he already has in place. He’s got room to grow but he has to take those steps, begin instead of holding back.
[BEXG] YES
[MissMichele] What Serenity said before about Strength… The Three of Pentacles felt “unfinished” to me, so I drew another card… Strength. He needs the COURAGE to move. And you need to give him that. (Serenity is more true psychic than I and sees the themes emerge and the cards before I even draw them.)
[SerenityBly] *blushes*
[MissMichele] In the imagery on the Hanson-Roberts Deck, Strength, is a woman stroking a lion, with the infinity symbol over her head. The female counterpart to the Magician. ANYTHING is possible for your husband, WITH you by his side.
[MissMichele] Any additional questions Bexg?
[BEXG] Can I ask you about our home, do you see us living here for long, changing houses, or even changing countries where we live?
[MissMichele] Ace of Pentacles… (Serenity requested one card on that…) And that would definitely signify a new beginning.
[SerenityBly] Wow, ok, NOT the card I was expecting. I was getting set to say, I doubt you’ll be moving, your King of Cups is steady, he likes where he’s at. But that ace says there is definitely a new beginning on the horizon. So a move is entirely possible. And given how firm a new beginning it is it will be a big one.
[MissMichele] I’m seeing that’s part of it… the NEED for a move and to move forward in the business. King of Cups doesn’t *want* to move, but it’s best–for the business, for him and for you, Bexg.
[BEXG] Super, thanks guys.
I hope you’ll join us 10am EST this week!
