Miss Tarot is back for her Spring visit
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
It seems like she comes around every Spring,
I don't know how long she'll be sticking around,
so I ask:

"how do I best deal with the anxiety of the coming few months in particular, and the coming year in general, given all the changes I have so little control over?"


Your upcoming changes are throwing you into a bit of internal upheaval, especially since you know you'll be evaluated anew, and competing with others for security. It'll be too easy to feel anxiety and stress over it all. Maybe even frustration that you can't control the situation the way you'd really like to. Your creative sparks may be burning low while your way through thorny obstacles

but get this, take the path of least resistance this one time, don't be so hard on yourself.

Besdies your work experience and your reputation, you know, dry spells dont last, and you know you're going to emerge from this difficulty with renewed energy and creativity.

"A change is as good as a holiday."

Let your friends support you, and move forward deliberately and with confidence.

the "weird" and unusual thoughts you've had lately, there's no reason to be scared of them
sometimes the complex reality in the undercurrent of your daily life can have an intense effect

the universe is vast and full of opportunities and experiences
reality has a multitude of paths even though many people think there may only be one
dont let their ignorance get you down
"change the channel" if you need to
just make sure you always keep utmost, the things necessary for your survival "

(ugh I wasnt anticipating this one, maybe you know what it means)

this is the time to save yourself
are you too critical of yourself? or of others these days?
somewhere along the way you landed with this script, from your parents maybe, or a teacher, or maybe this competitive culture we all live in
but theres some voice in your head who isnt very nice and is distracting you from the sort of freedom and peace you've been craving for your life

pick up that sword and slay that inner dragon, cuz honey you deserve that life of light and joy you've been wanting for so long

((hugs)) "

(I love this card !!)

congratulations !
limitless possibilities are surrounding you right now
this is the time to take a chance on new things
do NOT let even one nay sayer stop you from chasing your dreams/goals
even if its a voice in your own head
this is the time to follow your hearts joy
be optimistic even if in this moment it looks like a risky venture
just make sure you keep around you, your sense of playfulness and cheer AND PLAIN OLE LIFE ENERGY
GO AHEAD SING WHILE YOU WORK, LAUGH A LITTLE TOO LOUDLY IF YOU WANT
(theres that damn caps lock again!)
wear something unusual this weekend
you are just a ball of pure unlimited energy these days

heres the only caveat --
make sure you combine that playful desire for "the new" with the wisdom you already have from your hard learned lessons
but keep in mind, that without risk taking, nothing new is ever started !!

(good luck !!) "

" Wowzer!!! If only you knew how much my life is changing and has changed. Yes, my inner voice, at times, tries to hold me back. From my therapist to workplace peers and above, all tell me that I deserve to be happy. I have held on to my light heartedness through so much but, with a watchful inner guard. This tells me to keep on and grab it. I do hope a particular career opportunity comes to fruition. Thank you Joy for this. "

" Thanks JoyRide!

I won't let the naysayers (I like that better than ignorance) get me down! I actually appreciate their negativity because it's most likely telling me I'm not doing something conducive to my success. Either that or it's telling me to not invest or buy into it. "

" of course Jenny !

OK, you'll know what this means, I'm sure.

"trust yourself"

thats the message for today
the world is full of voices that want to manipulate and deceive you
some of them set up house in your own head
but within all of that is a core that believes in you
the universe has an eye on you
all sorts of mysteries will unveil themselves to you
that core within you is a young mind seeking to express itself, wanting to inquire and explore

its also vulnerable to being tricked
self-doubt, self-hatred, even just disempowered behaviours
dont let them sabotage your wishes
negotiate your own path through the radio-interference of the charlatans and deceivers
keep exploring
keep discovering

you cant ever really avoid those negative voices, but you can choose to ignore them and listen to your spirit instead

((hugs)) "

" career huh?

OK, well, the theme seems to be all about co-operation with others
it seems you'll have an opportunity to accomplish a lot more in the near future with the co-operation of others at work, instead of trying to go it alone, or even worse, be in competition with them

try hard to keep your stress levels low
slow down
take plenty of deep breaths
get yourself grounded and keep on movin forward
even if you dont agree with the others about everything
your differences will matter less than your commonalities do

(thats an interesting card, does that mean something to you?) "
