Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 5)
Reading for 9-12 thru 9-22-19 The Center card this week is the Empress. The Empress represents the Divine Feminine. She embodies compassion, acceptance, generosity and empathy. In following the Fool’s journey, the path of the Major Arcana, she is the third lesson. The Fool at zero shows us the Void, that into which all things are created and therefore the existence of pure possibility. The second step is the Magician who gazes into the vast nothing of complete possibility and realizes that he has the tools, the talent, the intellect, and the will to create any-thing into the no-thing of the Void. As the Empress appears she is the voice of compassion reminding the Magician that although he is able to create absolutely anything into the Void, perhaps there are things best left floating in the space of maybe or after some time or after growth and change. With her compassionate and selfless viewpoint, she presents the idea of consequence and the recognition that what may be good for the one is not necessarily good for the many. So the prevailing influence this week is a desire to compassionately combine feelings and interactions that perhaps have been at odds or poorly aligned up to now.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 3)
Reading for 9-9 through 9-15-19 The center card this week is the Queen of Swords. I see the queens of the Tarot as the teachers and nurturers. They’ve gained deep understanding and compassion while on the path of their suit and are able to guide and sustain those who come behind. With the Swords as the archetype for our cognitive thought, our ability to categorize, define and explain, we look to this queen to help us find the most effective words to communicate our needs and ideas. Her propensity to detail what we want to say with grace and a wise acceptance of others’ ability to understand allows us to find the level which can best facilitate clear interaction. Not only do we want to get our point out, we want it to be understood by those involved. With that stance in mind we use the intuitive grace of the queen to bring things into context for whoever it is we want to be able to comprehend what we’re talking about. We abandon the idea that those around us “just don’t understand us” and find ways to interact with them at their own level. In this way we can communicate effectively as well as bring the capacity of those we’re trying to reach into the exchange allowing them an equal sense of recognition. I find that people are more likely to be open to things when we’ve taken the time to think about their communication skills and made the effort to align with them.

What Is the Power of Intuition?
There is a time when it seems like the choices you make carry so much weight. It is the time when you find that your mind floods your brain, and then your body starts to hyperactivate in all of the possibilities. One choice could be the step where the floor falls in, and you lose everything and everyone that you care about. All can be lost if we believe the lie of self doubt, anxiety, or that trust in others is completely unconditional. There are always consequences, but there is a step that we all can take before making any choice (Besides prayer & consulting close confidants).

Celebrate Feelings
As a young woman in graduate school at The University of Georgia, I attended my first big concert. Ike and Tina Turner were performing at the coliseum, and I had seats at the top of the top of the building. I went armed with a pair of binoculars.

A Journey to the Center of Me
My journey started about five years ago or so. I was separated from my wife, and trying to get her to move back in with me, while I was seeing another woman. Now, you are probably asking, James, why would you be asking your wife back into your life if you are dating another? That was my exact question when the reality of what I was doing hit me. I went and found a therapist, that was Dale.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 2)
The Center card this week is the Princess of Swords (Page in RWS). I see the princesses of the Tarot as having courage in their innocence. As the youngest of the court cards, they stride forward with no preconceived ideas. Their slates are clean, so without judgement or fear, they move into the first steps of exploring the attributes of their respective suits with curiosity and vigor. In the suit of Swords, we deal with the element of air and therefore our intellect and cognitive thought processes. This princess is not afraid to ask the questions she’s curious about. No matter whether they might seem “dumb” or inappropriate or “unrelated” to others and what they believe, the power of curiosity negates those inconsistencies and opens new pathways to wider knowledge. So, this week will likely be dominated by a deep desire to question the status quo. We want to poke at the fabric of our perceived reality with the sharp sword of our intellect to learn what’s solid and what is a facade. Reason combined with will clarifies the foggy situations around us and defines the cracks and holes.

6 Ways to Cleanse and Empower Yourself
This is not your average list of cleansing techniques. You're not going to be told that these techniques are going to help you "get rid of all the negativity and toxicity in your life." You're not going to be offered products that can take care of everything that's a problem in your life. This is a list of cleansing techniques that also empowers you. We are taking the time to know ourselves, know our environment, and invest in our confidence.

Words of Inspiration
Having suffered with anxiety since 2013, I had tried many things to help me manage the negativity and self defeating thoughts I had. In 2018 after my marriage broke down, I returned to meditation and eventually began to write down the thoughts I had as a sort of self therapy.
