Future Tarot

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.

A funny thing happened on the RadioX show last Wednesday night. Serenity Bly couldn’t make it, so yours truly, Miss Michele, provided free tarot readings on her own for John Ale’s listeners at www.radioxshow.com.

I should tell you that Serenity Bly had been asking me if I could do a love reading for her when I got a chance, but I hadn’t made the time to do it yet.

Then “Serenity” phoned in with a question: “Is my new man the right one?” she asked.

As Miss Michele focused on the lovely Serenity Bly, an answer revealed itself in the cards.

Only after the show did she discover that Serenity was not Serenity… and, in fact, the querent’s name in the chat room was (ironically enough) NotThatGirl.

Miss Michele asked Serenity — NotThatGirl — how accurate the reading was. Understandably, the querent seemed confused by what the cards revealed. Not only was she “NotThatGirl,” it was NotHerReading!

And so, Serenity’s reading… which actually offers a promising future in the love department.

And yes, if you are wondering, OUR Serenity’s spread was quite accurate, too!

To meet Miss Michele and Serenity Bly “in person” (or as close as you’ll get via the InterWeb), drop by our chat room Wednesday at 10 AM. How’s that for a segue?

Hope to see you there!

Your Past Experience in Love: The Eight of Wands in this position indicates that you tended to jump head-first into relationships. You were in a whirlwind romance, but it may have left you feeling empty when the flame died.

Your Current Experience in Love: Three of Wands: What remains of your love relationship is more like a business arrangement – a steady, stable partnership. You work well together, but I’m not seeing a lot of love here at all.

What you Want from a Love Relationship: Temperance: This Major Arcana spotlights your loving nature. You are feminine, giving, caring and loving. This is coming through so loud and clear in the cards. You want someone who will return that love to you and also appreciate it. Think of your heart as a cup – you want someone who can fill it up.

What you Need from a Love Relationship: The Five of Swords indicates a certain passion – you don’t need a business relationship disguised as a romance. You want someone you can share your love with. Be careful of deception though… the time will arrive when you need to come clean.

What you have to offer in a relationship: Again, the Queen of Cups shows your loving nature. You are ready to start over with someone who appreciates that in you.

Possible Final Outcome: The Seven of Wands: The Seven of Wands indicates a victory, but not a decisive one. There may be a battle or an encounter between your two loves – not a physical fight but your current partner will be ready to fight for your love in the metaphorical sense. Your new relationship has potential but, like anything worth having, it will take work.

I find Wednesdays so inspirational. Meeting in the Echo of One chat room for our Wednesday tarot chat always puts me in a spiritual and productive state of mine.

I decided to do a tarot reading regarding a possible move in my future. From the information I have onhand right now, it seems spot-on, like a distinct probability.

Miss Michele has been taking a course related to the Law of Attraction and I’m also reading Wayne Dyer’s Manifest Your Destiny.

My question for the tarot: “Will we be moving into our own house by summer?”

I didn’t let it get to me when I drew my least favorite card, The Tower. This card is at the basis of the matter, since I haven’t hit it yet. I know that past circumstances and my entire way of thinking must be discarded to pave the way for a better life I will manifest. This may be the first time in my life when the Tower truly is the positive moment many tarot readers tell you it is.

The second card, The Chariot, couldn’t be a more clear cut answer: Yes, we will be moving.

The third card, Strength, seems to be sending me a message lately. It came up in a reading last week in the chat room, and a few times since then. Not only will I need strength to manage — and clean — a new, larger house, and also to move with the baby. But I have it. This card is reminding me of that when things get rough. Also, it’s a logical progression. Tower moments always make us stronger.

In addition, the three Major Arcanas are reminding me to let go and let the Universe’s will be done, a major tenet of the Law of Attraction. I’ve been working too hard for it. I just have to trust that it is there (and, again, that’s where strength comes in) and it will come to me.

Let’s see where this goes.

Feel free to drop by the Echo of One / Future-Tarot chat at 10 AM and share your insights on this spread, get a reading of your own, or discuss the tarot and other matters spiritual and metaphysical.

Welcome to Future Tarot, the new home of tarot readers Miss Michele and Serenity Bly! As part of our social network of friends, family and business colleagues, you are invited to our special “exclusive preview launch party” on Friday, July 18 and Saturday, July 19. Future Tarot provides tarot readings from real-life readers, not computer programs!

We are offering FREE three-card spread tarot readings to all site visitors, Friday and Saturday ONLY. Simply post your question in the comments section of this post and Miss Michele or Serenity Bly will provide your free reading in a new blog post!

Aside from our Special Appearances at The Echo of One and RadioXShow, this will be the only time Miss Michele and Serenity Bly will offer free readings! To learn more about Future-Tarot.com, please visit our F.a.q.s page.

A bit about our launch..

Yes, we admit it. Future-Tarot.com is not…quite…finished. We have lots more we’d like to add to these pages, including tarot book and deck reviews, a comprehensive list of tarot resources, and more.

The resident psychics, Serenity Bly and Miss Michele drew a timing card. The Moon came up in the reading, indicating a propitious launch date of July 18. The Moon symbolizes re-birth and new beginnings, and, as this is a re-birth of Miss Michele’s old tarot site, it seemed perfect! As the Moon also relates to psychic abilities and feminine intuition, it seemed the perfect card to represent the launch of a tarot site run by two work-at-home-moms. We didn’t want to delay the site just because of a few minor details.

However, we decided to make a compromise and give our vast social network a “sneak peek” at Future-Tarot, with the opportunity to receive free readings before our true public launch on August 15. So here you are. Please post a comment and let us know how you like it!
