Let me know if I’ve missed any holiday shows and I’ll add them to the list.

I am using the just released “All Hallows Tarot” (link to all the images) by Robyn Hollister to illustrate the spread.   You can visit http://www.tarotconnection.net to get a copy of this wonderfully festive deck just in time for Halloween!

Instructions:   Cruise over to Mary Greer’s Website and learn about this spread and how to operate it.  Mary gives her own example, but you can quickly return to my site to see another example of this spread in action!

My Chosen Cards:

Ace of Swords as the 1^st Ace reflects that problem solving is where my primary focus is right now.   This is very relevant as I am attempting to juggle many different projects at the moment and am trying to find time to fit everything into my already heavy schedule.

Ace of Cups as the 2^nd Ace reflects that I may be ignoring my social and relationship needs.  Again, I find this to be very true, as the more I focus on my work related projects I am noticing that my need to be around others and socialize is diminishing.

Ace of Wands as the 3^rd Ace shows the importance of my work and career projects and my personal needs for achievement and moving my career to the next level.

Ace of Disks as the 4^th Ace shows that money and security issues will become important and relevant in the future.

Special Cards: Mary says to place special emphasis on the highest ranking Major Arcana cards.  In this case, I only had one — The Hanged Man.  Out of 12 cards this seems a rather significant theme for me, and is my inner teacher card.

My Reading:

The Ace of Swords being the first Ace to appear in the spread reveals the current mental struggles I am going through.  I am putting together a new website that will take an enormous amount of time and energy.  The Hanged Man straight on reveals the sacrifices I will need to make in order to pursue this goal.  What will I have to give up?

The Ace of Cups is the area that is complicated in the reading.   Cups, of course refer to love and relationships.   One of the areas that may need to be sacrificed is my social interactions with others.   This could involve both my non-career oriented friends as well as people I am involved with professionally.  Since I am a Leo being involved with people and having exchanges with them is important to me.

The Ace of Wands is the “Guide”.   The cards in this row reveal things quite clearly.  The Queen of Wands and 8 of Wands reflect the need to move forward and be true to myself.   These two cards along with the 7 of cups reveal that the choices that I make need to be based on my needs and my personal career direction, and not necessarily the needs of the people around me.   However, I could balance out my social needs by discussions and interaction with those around me that I wish to participate in my new website.

Thankfully, finances and security are not an issue revealed by the Ace of Disks appearing last.   Although future decisions will need to be made that I cannot see at the moment (2 of swords) it does show that with any enterprise concerns and issues will come up, but I must always make choices based on my own happiness rather than what may please others.

Make sure you check out Mary’s Blog and try out this spread on your own!

I just love Halloween! Out of all the holidays this one is especially meaningful to psychics because our connection to the “other” world is heightened. On Samhain, a veil is pierced that allows the spirits from the other side to whisper into our ears if you listen closely. Also, it is a time for spooks, ghouls, ghosts, goblins, and just good old fashioned “trick or treating”.

A Bit of History:

Although the tradition of guising and wearing seasonal costumes stretch back to the Middle Ages, the first appearance of “trick or treating” (warning of the homeowner/resident of a trick if a treat is not given) began in 1911 in Kingston, Ontario. Eventually the practice spread to other parts of Canada and ultimately made its first American appearance in Chicago in 1920. By the 1930’s, the practice of trick or treating became a widespread practice in the United States, and eventually permeated the media in 1939.

In the 21st century, Halloween and “Trick or Treating” remains popular, and each year more events occur to celebrate the magical Eve. Over the years, candy and other assorted edible goodies have been created specifically to cater to children who dress up in costumes and visit neighborhood doors to collect their loot. Inside bags across North America, assorted chocolates, lollypops, candy corn, and the occasional piece of fruit are enjoyed by many young and old. However, in certain cases “the trick” might be played on those individuals who are ‘souling’ (the medieval practice of the poor going door to door on Hallowmas receiving food in return for prayers for the dead) when they receive unusual treats.

The Fun Begins:

Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) recently put a link up on his twitter page, which I found incredibly fun. The candy images that were used in a Houston blog were just freaky, creepy, and hysterically hilarious. I am reposting the images here with my “psychic” commentary.

(Disclaimer: These comments are for fun and are meant in the spirit of the Halloween holiday season, and not for applied use. Any events or circumstances that may occur in your life as a result of performing this Halloween reading are merely coincidental – or maybe you have pierced that veil yourself and have tapped into your own future.):

Trick or Treat Divination

Materials Needed: A bag of candy received on Halloween.
Instructions: Divide out all your candy and see what you have received. You might want to place them in separate categories so that you can make sure you do not miss any of the tricks from the spirits, which have special meanings.

Ask your bag of candy a question. Any question. Do you wish to know about your love life, career, or finances? Any questions that you would normally ask a psychic. Write your question down on a piece of paper.

No Noted Anomalies:

If you receive a bag of candy that has no anomalies, this means that the spirits are at peace with you. This year they plan to bless you with the abundance of certainty and prosperity. You will find your life to be very sweet and depending on the amount of candy in your bag – very rich! However, too much involvement in matters of the physical could lead to an upset stomach – especially if you over indulge in the chocolate tasting candies! On the divinatory level, receiving tons of chocolate means that lots of hot romantic activity will occur in your future, but if your bag is filled with more hard candy objects the next year will be focused on refining your personal matters such as business and career.

Spooky Nerds:

If you receive a box or boxes of Spooky Nerds in your bag, then the spirits have provided you with a special blessing this year. Spooky Nerds are a powerful love symbol. You may find an interesting individual – possibly with taped glasses and a pocket protector in your future. If this person enters your life, take a second notice! Let me give you the progression. Nerdy guy leads to high SAT scores. High SAT Scores leads to MIT. MIT leads to Computer Programming Job. Computer Programming Job leads to being the CEO of a High End Software business like Microsoft. Never judge anything by its outer shell, on the inside you might have just found your gold mine. On a divinatory level, receiving a box of Spooky Nerds means that love — although in an unusual package – may enter into your life. If you are currently in a relationship, the message from the spirits is to dress your boyfriend/husband up in more nerdy ways – it just might rub off!

Gummy Body Parts Candy:

If you receive a package of Gummy Body Parts in your bag, the spirits are giving you a direct warning. You should proceed with caution, as an unusual individual in your neighborhood is thinking about you. Depending on what body part you receive will reveal what he/she is thinking about. Although this may creep you out knowing that others are thinking about you, it might not be all that bad. It might be that he/she is admiring certain parts of your anatomy – brains, fingers, lips, limbs or teeth. On a divinatory level, Gummy Body Parts are a sign from the spirits for you to horde what you have. Keep everything close to you, because someone may be after it – especially if you receive the Hannibal Lector Gummy Body Parts edition! Now, how about some fava beans and a nice Chianti?

Zit Poppers:

Oh Zits! Remember them? They were those awkward red things on your face when you were a teenager, usually the result of eating too much candy or greasy foods. In other words, creations from God so that teenagers could not enjoy life! If you think about it, they are natures abstinence program for many, so we should not view them as all bad. Receiving a package of Zit Poppers in your Halloween bag though is a very good thing! It reflects that new things are on the horizon for you. This could be either in love, career, or money. Since zits are a reflection of an early stage of life development before a situation comes into full adult form, you should embrace your zit poppers candy and cherish and nurture it further. On a divinatory level, Zit Poppers reflects the birth of something new, something coming to fruition in your life, and even the possibility of pregnancy. However, if you are under the age of 21, that will not come for at least 6 to 7 years or the spirits will be quite angry! Never tick a spirit off, remember Whoopi Goldberg from Ghosts? They might come to your house and sing songs all night – annoying the heck out of you.

Box of Boogers:

I know this is completely revolting. If you get this candy immediately check under your tables, desks, and chairs – anywhere occupied by young kids – and see if any crusty objects exist. If you do find some objects then you are blessed for years to come. Boogers are great when you receive them. They represent changes and negative circumstances from your life fading. Although difficulties from the past may still be apparent if you receive this candy, the spirits will make sure that your problems fade and evaporate as long as you pick them one at a time. On the divinatory level, receiving a box of boogers means that your problems and situations are trapped in a box. If you take this box and immediately get rid of it, you will find your problems quickly evaporating from your life. However, if you choose to eat these boogers, then I can snot be responsible for any problems that may occur. You have been warned!

Scab A Roni:

For some reason, when I was analyzing this package, dreams and visions of San Francisco — Oh, wait – that’s Rice A Roni! On the candy label, I noticed that there were 16 scabs that were available. 16 in many cultures, numerologically, and even in the Tarot reflect the tearing down of existing structures and something new is replaced. This could be ideas, belief systems that you have held onto, and even circumstances in your life that come in the form of disruption, yet give way to something good or better. In the Tarot, this is the Tower Card, and if you notice on the packaging it looks like 3 towers of scabby candy. On a divinatory level, when you receive Scab A Roni this means that circumstances that you have held onto well past their sell by date, will come crumbling down. You might even pick them off yourself, by looking at the areas of your life that you need to change. Remember, scabs are made of coagulated blood which is our most powerful life force. Once your scabs are torn off, new opportunities will come about that are much more beneficial to you.

Conclusion:

These are just the known creepy candy that I could find! I am sure that there are some unknown and some yet created or discovered. If you have others that you would like me to analyze and tell you what they mean psychically, just send me the images and I will be more than glad to find out what they mean and how to apply those candies into your life. All comments are appreciated.

Happy Halloween!

What is Mercury? For those that do not have an astrological language, Mercury represents our understanding of life. He is the planet of education, communication, discussion, documents, papers, television, radio and the information you search for on the internet. In Greek Mythology, he is known as Hermes the swift footed communication God and the protector of commerce and industry. Unlike the other planets, Mercury is rather unique by appearing to move backwards 3-4X per year. The retrogradation process is notorious for causing problems with communication, technical problems, plan hassles, and it is not wise to begin anything new or make vast changes during this period.

The Greek Hermes was a two-fold deity as astrological Mercury rules the two signs of Gemini and Virgo. On one hand, Hermes (Mercury) is the messenger of the God’s and the God of crossroads (periods in our life, where we do not know what decisions to make?) and mental connections. He appears in our lives when we suddenly understand something with new clarity and new comprehension. However, Hermes was one of the few deities (along with Hecate and Persephone) that were allowed to traverse the boundaries between the upper world (consciousness) and the underworld (unconsciousness). In his underworld guise, he serves two primary functions. He ushers the souls of the dead down to their final resting place, and in a few instances used necromancy to bring the souls of the dead back to the land of the living. His role of the psycho-pomp, I believe gives us the deepest understanding of Mercury Rx.

In astrology, we can take Mercury’s passage through the zodiac as a cyclical period. Every so often, Mercury turns around and moves the other direction creating a more introverted tone to the mainly extroverted planet. Since I believe astrology is instructional, Mercury sends us a message that we need to turn “inward” and review the past period of direct motion. (To an extent, I believe all the planets when they go retrograde urge us to reflect on certain areas of our lives colored by the sign the planet goes retrograde in) Mercury’s last direct motion was from May 30, 2009 – September 5, 2009.

Activity 1: Get out a piece of paper. Write down the events and circumstances that you have found meaningful or distressful from May 30, 2009 – September 5, 2009. Explore as many areas as you can. Take a look at the significant areas of your life – financial, professional, and relationships, and write down how you feel about these particular areas. What did you experience? Once you are done writing, fold up the paper and continue reading.

Another tool we can use to amplify Mercury Rx is through the tarot Major Arcana card of Judgement. One of the best decks that I have seen that conveys the deepest layers of the Judgement card is the Mythic Tarot. The card makes use of Hermes role as the psycho-pomp, at what appears to be the entrance to the underworld (unconscious). Beneath him are the sarcophagi with three mummified figures reaching up towards Hermes. Many astrologers consider Mercury Rx to be a time where unresolved issues from the past come back to be resolved. Likewise, I believe the Judgement card represents rewards for past efforts, and a deep understanding that we ourselves “create” our own future through the actions and decisions that we make in life. In many ways, we truly ‘reap what we sew’.

Taking ownership of our current circumstances is a powerful healing mechanism. It allows us to take control of our lives, and provides us with the opportunity to make better choices and decisions that create our future. Mercury Rx can provide us a cyclical period to examine our past actions, behaviors, upsets and joys and understand the deeper side of our personality. We may find parts of ourselves that may need improvement, parts we need to work on, and parts we really like. We can use this time to make great inner change! Looking at the Judgment card once again, we can visualize the mummified rags on the corpses as symbols for the parts of our lives we would like to change. Underneath those rags of the past, might be the butterflies for our future tomorrow.

Activity 2:

Take a look at the figure of the Judgement card for a few moments. Now close your eyes. Imagine yourself in the room with Hermes. Talk to him and ask him for assistance in helping you understand the aspects of your life that you would like to change. Take note of any feelings or messages that you may have received.

Activity 3:

Take out your piece of paper in Activity 1. Re-read it and make note of how you feel about the past few months. What do you believe you need to change? Print up the black and white version of the Judgement card. Now, get out a pack of crayons or colored pencils and color in the figure of the Judgment card. Use any colors that you wish to reflect your current situation, and the events of the past few months. Use the three figures in the sarcophagi to reflect areas of your life that you have new insight about, or wish to change. Take a look at the figure you have created. Close your eyes. Imagine yourself in the room with Hermes. Talk to him and ask him for assistance in helping you make the changes that you need to make in your life. Ask Hermes to provide you with the information necessary or tools he can provide you with to assist you in your tasks. Take note of any feelings or messages that you may have received.

The event of the week occurs on Monday as Jupiter the great benefic goes retrograde in the sign of Aquarius at 3:51 AM. Jupiter will remain retrograde until October 12^th. Frequent readers of this blog will remember that retrograde planets tend to work in an “inner” way. Since Jupiter is the planet of philosophy, higher understanding, luck, gambling, and expansion, when it goes retrograde so does its energy. Often times, this retrograde will create self doubt about our lives and our futures. We can use this time beneficially to explore new meanings for ourselves, and to figure out what really has meaning for us. Many times this can happen by events occurring in our lives, which get us to explore deeper meanings in our lives. In many ways, we are not being honest with where we are at the moment, and Jupiter being retrograde will force us to see areas where we may have blinded ourselves to reality.

Turn your eyes towards Wednesday as all the major planetary aspects occur on this day. The Sun in Gemini will trine Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron in Aquarius which allows us to open up to our social groups and society in a manner that makes us feel more comfortable with ourselves. We may find ourselves more “alive” and shining brightly in social groups and situations, so schedule in some time with friends or your support groups, because you can find the day rather rewarding.

Also, the Sun on Wednesday will square Uranus. This aspect is tricky and tends to bring forth surprises especially on a global level. Circumstances and situations can change on a dime, and often when we are not looking. This aspect is similar to the “Tower” card in the Tarot, as it forces us to change our beliefs about things we believed to be real or true. Since this is a waxing square, past family problems which have slowly been building can erupt during this time. However, what remain are new ideas that are more innovative and defined.

Cosmic Weather Forecast for the week ending June 6, 2009

So, I am sure that many of you are leaping over for joy today as Mercury retrograde came to an end during the evening hours last night. Not so fast, Mercury still has to travel to 2 Gemini before we get out of its shadow period, and on its way it will re-aspect the triple conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune bringing forth the height of the retrograde period, which occurred last week. During the shadow period, we should stay concentrated on cleaning up any of the debris that might be in our way as a result of the last 3 weeks. Mercury will move out of shadow on June 14.

As far as your week is concerned, the Moon will be in the social signs this week reflecting more of an urge for us to go out and make contacts with other people whether that is socially or romantically. This is a great week for romantic improvement as Venus will sextile Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune providing us with opportunities to expand our social circle and have a little bit of fun. Combined with the Mars trine to Pluto, we could use much to our advantage this week and have the drive and determination to accomplish much.

Both Venus and Mars move into the earth sign of Taurus this week. If you have a predominance of earth in your chart, that would be Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, this could create an easy harmonious period for you through the month of June. Circumstances that upset you or were obstacles in May can turn around in a rather pleasing way for you. Since, Venus and Mars are going to conjunct in June; you could find your love life heating up over the summer.

On Friday, Sun will square Saturn, which could be a bit of a drag as we head into the weekend, especially on the business level. Saturn tends to restrict and put obstacles in the path of the Sun, which can be frustrating to say the least. However, Saturn also gives us the ability to get things done and get it done right.

The Moon will be in Sagittarius next weekend, so get out there and have a bit of fun.

During the evening hours the Moon will move out of emotional Pisces and into fiery and competitive Aries.   Aries is the beginning of the zodiacal signs, and with all beginnings the Aries moon offers us a surge of energy that is often impulsive, direct, and cares little about others that may be around us.  Through the evening hours go after exactly what you want, but try to be considerate of the needs and feelings of others.  In addition, avoid situations and circumstances that could provoke your fighting spirit.

Mercury continues its retrograde motion through the sign of Taurus and will conjoin with the Sun.   There is a great need for exchanges, talking, and analyzing, but with Mercury being retrograde we need to be careful of our “investment” with the information being given.  This is amplified by the combination not being known for its “incredible” listening skills.   Take all information receive today with a grain of salt, and keep your eyes pinned on the end of June, where information received during this conjunct may either change, or be influenced by new information received.

On a lighter note, Saturn which has been retrograde since December 30^th will turn direct on Saturday evening.  Many of the heated issues regarding the economy escalated during this retrograde cycle amplified by its continued on again off again opposition to Uranus.   This planetary combination is known for upsetting ideologies which are no longer beneficial.  However, Saturn turning direct may prove to provide a bit of relief financially and allow new doors to open.   Regardless, the summer months prove to be a beneficial period and breath of relief against the backdrop of the first half of the year.
