Tarot Lifeline © is a new feature on The Crystal Gate. It is a semi tongue in cheek look at 900 line Tarot reading - which I have been doing for several years now. My goal in all counseling is to empower my clients and help them heal. What you see here is simply the lighter side of life - the light look that we all need to take at ourselves from time to time - the energy of the Heyokah, the Sacred Clown, who teaches life lessons by having us laugh at ourselves.
Tarot Lifeline (c) will be updated on a semi-regular basis - at the least monthly. Enjoy the whispers that you find here. Don't stop to look behind you - Coyote may have a lesson or two for you. :)
"7/10/68" "And your first name?" "My name is Mary." "Mary - How can I help you today? Would you like a general reading to start out with, or do you have specific questions?" silence ... silence ... silence ...
"Ummmm I guess
"Mary, I need to have you be thinking about all of the people and issues in your life right now so that we can get you into the cards."
shuffle ... shuffle ... shuffle ...
"Mary, things have been very challenging and very confusing for you lately. You have come through what looks like several months of difficulties, and this has left you feeling that you have no power in your life. Several areas come immediately to mind. There is not a very stable energy around the home, nor around relationship. There appears to be two relationships in your life right now - neither of which may be right for you. This is contributing to the instability around your home. You also have a great deal of responsibility on your shoulders - responsibility for others. In your case - this appears to be children under your care. I would also say that there is an ongoing problem with a specific family member that you are very concerned about.
Money is coming in, so I would say that you are working, but not at a job that you enjoy or that pays well. This may be an area that you can have some control over.
Before we look at your immediate future - do you have any questions?"
"I just moved into this apartment three months ago with the help of a friend. My boyfriend, the father of my youngest child, is in jail and I don't know when he will be getting out. I work at a fast food place, and the money is not good, but I need to work close to home, because I don't have a car. I helped my mother get an apartment here in the same complex I am in, but her boyfriend and her fight so much, she is about to get evicted. I don't want her moving in with me, because her boyfriend is violent, and I am scared that he might come here and cause trouble, and I might be evicted. Also, I just started seeing my boyfriend's best friend. He helps me a lot. But I don't really like him, and he doesn't like my kids. What should I do? Is my boyfriend getting out soon? Will I find another job? What about my mother?"
"Mary, let's start out with your boyfriend. It looks like he is doing well in jail, not getting into any trouble, and that he will be getting out within the next two months. However, it also looks like he has a problem with anger. Are you sure that you want him in your life?"
"That would be about right. He is supposed to get out in two months, but he might get out sooner on good behavior. And he does get angry a lot - but he treats me and the kids real good. He just goes away - sometimes for days - when he gets angry. But he always comes back."
"OK When he gets out you need to take a look at trying to get him to find work and stay away from some of his friends."
"Yeah - his friends do get him into trouble. He wants to work - he just has a hard time keeping a job. But the apartment manager here is my friend, and she says he can work here."
"Mary, it sounds like things can be worked out with your boyfriend. Now about his best friend. He is not a person that you want in your life. The help he gives you is not worth having him around. And he will be a problem when your boyfriend gets out."
"Yeah - I know that. I think I won't see him any more. My brother needs a place to stay for a while. He can help me out."
"Now - about your mother. We always feel responsibility for our family members, especially our parents, but I think you need to break off with your mother for a while. She needs to get a handle on her life before you allow her to intrude on yours."
"Yeah - she never did treat me well. And now she is back on drugs again - because of her boyfriend. And I can't trust her - she steals money and stuff when she gets to feelin' bad."
"Mary - the best thing here is to not allow your mother to move in with you. That will be hard for you to do - but the alternative is you and your kids not having a place to live either. "
"I know. I am better off when she is not in my life. I feel bad for her - but I won't let her wreck my life. I won't let her move in."
"Mary, when I look at money for you, I think you need to stay where you are for now. In about three months time there will be an opportunity for you to do something else. I would suggest that you watch for job openings in the Sunday paper. Look for a company that is willing to train you - there is usually an opportunity for advancement there. Perhaps you may want to go into customer service. Usually you can get some very basic training with computers there. Once you have that - you can look at doing other things."
"That would be so cool! I have always wanted to work with computers!"
"Mary - do you have any other questions? Is there anything else that I can help you with?"
"No - I think we covered everything. I feel better now."
"Mary - remember that you have many talents, and are a very strong person. Any time you have a question - you are welcome to call back."
"OK I'll do that. Thanks."
"You're welcome."
