What The Six of Hearts Reveals To Us About Relationships And Karma

Today you’re going to learn what the Six of Hearts reveals to us about relationships and karma.

You’ll also learn how the seemingly awful things that happen to us (that we might call bad karma) are really not about punishment, but are there as an opportunity to change an erroneous belief.

 

How do you feel about the word karma?

Today’s post is on the Six of Hearts card. I’ve struggled a bit with the 6 cards as they represent the “karma” cards. I’ve adjusted my belief about karma quite a bit over the past few years.Pin_six_hearts

I don’t believe karma is a form of punishment for past actions. It’s more about the reconciling of an assigned belief from our past – or from one of our multitude of lives being lived simultaneously. (ooohhhh…shall we open Pandora’s box?!?)

Yes, I believe we live in a multi-dimensional universe. We aren’t living in a linear fashion because time is a man-made convenience. All of our lives are being lived simultaneously.

Let’s say that in one of your lives (or in earlier days of the life you are presently aware of), you were betrayed and abandoned. You decided at that point that you weren’t worthy of being loved and that no one could be trusted with your heart.

You assigned a belief about yourself and others at that point.

Because you decided that is how it would be, then you drew to you the same event, over, and over. It reinforced that belief and you decided that was how it was. Period.

Karma is then the opportunity to change the erroneous belief that has you feeling and living those negative, dark-night-of-the-soul, situations. It is these events that create our fears, anger, depression or anxieties and we carry them with us until we confront them and change them.

This is also why the 6 cards are the peace and harmony cards.

I questioned this for some time. How could the karma cards also be the peace and harmony cards? It seemed confusing to me until I fully understood that karma isn’t punishment. It isn’t some bad deed that you deserve because you were bad. (Though, we do love to look at it that way when we want another person who has hurt us to get hurt back! Right?)karma_pin

Karma is a bitch we love to say…

It is a bitch…to live with the fears and anxieties.

But, you can’t change the fears unless you realize the fears, understand that said fears are what is causing you to experience them over…and over. A belief induced fear becomes part of your vibration- sending out that signal, pulling back to you all that matches it.

The Six of Hearts is responsibility in our relationships.

All of the sixes make us take responsibility.

This is another key thing with karma. It is up to us to change how things are in our life. We have complete control, but we have to take that responsibility.

One of the ways we must do that is by realizing that no one is doing things to us – we are experiencing them because of a belief we assigned at some point. Changing that belief changes how people will treat us and the types of people constantly in our life.

When the six of hearts shows up in our yearly forecast, it gives us the opportunity to look at our relationships – at the people in our lives and how we feel about them, interact with them and how we treat them.

  • Is it how we want it to be?
  • Is there something we keep attracting because of some belief we have?
  • Are we being responsible and creating the type of relationships we want – or are we just blaming people for our difficulties?

It brings us the opportunity to create peace and harmony through our own inner changes.

six_hearts_harmony

 

If the Six of Hearts is your Birth card, you are the Peacemaker. You are aware of the law of love and you strive to maintain harmony and stability in your love life and family/home. Sixes don’t like a lot of change and they don’t like things to be upsetting. They can get stuck in relationships because they don’t want to rock the boat and make the necessary changes or get out.

Six of heart people have the ability to bring love into bad situations and therefore heal it.

This is the highest of what “karma” is about. Taking a fear or negative and transforming it into love.

You can’t do that by suppressing your feelings or pretending all is well. You have to realize the emotions, then transform them with the knowledge that all are worthy, all are divine and all are just wanting to be loved. AND that the belief you assigned that says you are unworthy of love is exactly that – an erroneous belief that needs to go.

Because Sixes are so keenly aware of the effect of their actions, they can be afraid to say or do anything. They are best at seeing all the angles; seeing the right in everything- which is what makes them so special (and needed!).

They help maintain balance and harmony – in others’ lives and in their environment.

If you draw a Six of hearts, ask yourself these questions:

  1. What about love is challenging you?
  2. What would you have to recognize within yourself to experience more self-love?
  3. Where has love let you down? (where and how you feel let down by love – that is an indication of an assigned erroneous belief.)
  4. What can you do to create a loving and harmonious life?
  5. Where do you need to be more responsible within your relationships?
  6. What are you tolerating in your relationships?
  7. What do you really want in your relationship?

Healthy relationships are key to our happiness. Many times it is an erroneous belief within us that consistently damages our relationships. I think it is so beautiful how this card expresses the importance of creating peace and harmony within ourselves first (by being responsible for what beliefs we hold), making the inner changes we need to make, which will then allow us to have healthy relationships – with our self and others!

The King Of Clubs – The Master Of Knowledge

How do you feel about your ability to communicate?

My post today is about the King of Clubs. This card is about mastering our ability (and responsibility) to stand up, take a leadership position and communicate (either through writing, speaking or any other communication field) important knowledge & truth.

King_clubs_mind

 

I had a dream the night before I drew this card. I looked out my window and saw a huge full moon. Then I saw a large white goose flying into the moon. Then it turned and I noticed that it wasn’t one goose, but five – they were all connected and they started flying at me. I thought they would fly right in my window, but right before they reached me they flew up.

In looking up the meaning of the goose, I realized how similar it is to the meaning of the King of Clubs card.

Geese and their patterns in migration reminds us that as any one of us makes our “quest” (our search of truth) it becomes easier for others.

Geese have powerful voices and great physical strength to endure the migrations. They are quiet as goslings, then break free to come into their own. In mythology, Mother Goose’s fairy tales and stories stirred our imaginations. It is within these childhood stories that we can be imprinted in how we perceive life. The stories and myths of our culture, as well as the types of stories we were drawn to as kids had a role to play in what we end up doing in life.goose_leader

Our imaginations take us places through oral and written stories, letting us explore other physical locales, other realms and other ways of BEing.

 

The role of the King of Clubs is to be an authority in the area of their ‘truth.’  They seem to have a direct connection to knowledge and they don’t live by someone else’s philosophy – they live by theirs.

There are many ways a King of Clubs can pass on their knowledge – it isn’t always by being a teacher or writer. Their instrument for sharing comes in many forms, but one thing is for sure – they have a huge responsibility to share and to share in integrity.

One of the resources of a King of Clubs is their precise mental distinction.

Nothing can be out of place or off within their minds and what they are doing, or they will feel off, out of sorts or unstable.

Think about being someone whose very core is this quest for the truth – what transformations they must undergo! Because you can’t be constantly seeking and not run into knowledge that cuts you to the core.

Do they grasp and change due to everything they discover? No…and that is when and where they get in trouble, because they instinctively know they must, but they don’t always make the transformation.

Back to my dream of the geese – there were five of them. Five is the number of change. We must get out of our ruts, out of our mental prisons. Like a person with OCD who is trapped because something is not 100% as it should be, a state of constant exactness can hurt us.

The geese were flying into the Full moon. The full moon is the time when our intentions have either been fulfilled, or we realize it wasn’t what we really wanted and we must let go. It can be the struggle between the head and the heart – between intuition and our rational mind.

On the Solar Spread (what I call The Map), The King of Clubs sits at Uranus and Uranus. This is the ultimate spot of the development of individuality, transcending cultural and societal programming; living outside of the status quo and sometimes our comfort zone. Ignorance is not bliss for the King of Clubs. Our search for the truth must lead us to living as our authentic selves.

The Master of Knowledge (the King of Clubs) represents that place where we are living from the Mind (not the brain or our intellect) but from that place where we are connected to a higher perspective, sharing through compassion and leading with integrity and responsibility. Much success is gained when we come from this place.

Do you have the King of Clubs in your Birth or Ruling card spread?

If so, where? Wherever he is, he brings the desire to know; to master that knowledge and to pass it along as a responsible leader and to be an authority in that area.

For example, my dear 2 of Clubs friend has the King of Clubs as her Mercury card (all 2 of Clubs people do) – thus her mental life is all about mastering her knowledge in the field she loves. She is working on her PhD right now and I’m betting she’ll never really be done with school and learning.

Do you have the King of Clubs in your forecast this year?

He will act as a gift – bringing you the energy of being able to communicate and lead within your area of expertise.

What Planetary period is he in?

If you draw this card when using the cards as divination tool, ask yourself these questions:

  1. What is my confidence level with my communication abilities?
  2. What advice do I continue to receive, yet refuse to follow?
  3. What is it costing me and others by refusing to communicate effectively?
  4. What confining habits or ways of thinking are blocking my communications?
  5. Where can I apply my current knowledge to become a better communicator?
  6. What has to happen to make the information I want to communicate more understandable?
  7. Am I willing to take a leadership position in my area of expertise?

8 Reasons To Awaken Your Venus

It’s February! We know what that means, right? The stores are exploding in red and pink and we are either dreading that middle of the month date, or trying to come up with a plan…valentine-602744_1280

Whether we avoid, hate or love Valentine’s day, are single, married or it’s complicated, there is one topic that all of us are always focused on and that is our relationships.

That brings me to the topic of the planet Venus.

I’m going to be exploring the planet of love, beauty and art all month – and how she can help us with our relationships. All relationships – with ourselves, our friends, our family, co-workers and yes, even our lovers and spouses.

What about our relationship with our creativity? And with our fans/followers as a Creative? Yep, that too.

painting-63186_640The reason I’m discussing the planet of Venus is because she is all about what we love, what we are attracted to, how we relate to others, what brings us joy and what turns us on.

Knowing our soul stats (I call all of the information that astrology, numerology and the cards gives us, our soul stats) – and in this case our Venus stats- (our Venus cards/sign and house) helps us not only with our relationships, but also with our creativity. She is what inspires us and what helps us attract those things we desire into our life.

We each have a Venus card in our birth card spread. That card lets us know more about ourselves in the area of love, attraction, our sociability, what gives us pleasure, what brings us joy and how we connect (or don’t connect) to all the people in our lives.

Relationships, our sensuality, our attraction, how we see beauty and art and all the feminine/receptive aspects of who we are is covered under Venus. We can learn a lot from her about ourselves and those we love by understanding and utilizing our Venus stats.

Instead of dreading this month, why not use it to discover more about yourself and those you love – how to relate to them better and how to enjoy your life more, because when you are enjoying life, more joy comes to you!

How connected are you to your Venus?

Are your passions lying under the weight of familial expectations?

Do you embrace what lights you up – or go along with the projections placed on you by those you love?

Our Venus is there to help us be authentic. To truly understand and embrace that which lets us shine.

8_reasons_to_awaken_your_venus

There is a lot that She can help us with.

Here are 8 reason why you should awaken your Venus:

  1. Understand, own and embrace your true beauty and genuinely let it show
  2. Magnetizing yourself so you attract your true desires
  3. Owning and enjoying your true erotic and sensual nature (and healing any wounds to those parts)
  4. Know how to let others in your life understand and value what you need, want and desire
  5. Seriously making your needs and pleasures a priority with no guilt attached
  6. Waking up to what inspires you so you can play with and romance your creativity
  7. Heal, restore and enhance all of your relationships
  8. Own, use and be illuminated by your feminine nature

Use Your Personal Year Number to Rock 2016

What if, at the beginning of each year, you got a hand-delivered message that said: Here is your mission for this year. Here is what to expect and here is the best way to get through it in the most natural way for YOU.

Nice huh?

Guess what? The Universe does exactly that for us. There are energetic roadmaps that shows our natural patterns for the year.

Got goals? Why not use your natural energetic patterns to help you get to those goals?

I say hell yeah!!2016

Here we are, about to start a new year. So, why not be better prepared?

When you’re working towards a particular goal, knowing what innate energies will be present in your life and what “cycles” you are in is very beneficial.

Your personal ‘numbers’  ( via Numerology) and the main cards of your  current forecast reveal these energies.

Why not know and use the energies that will be present in your life to help you achieve  your goals?

Before I talk about how to use this information, let me clarify:

The Cards in your forecast goes from your birthday to your next birthday. Your Personal Year number goes from the start of a new year, to the next new year.

Every one of us will have a new Personal year number once we are in 2016. As an example, my birthday is in July, so while I am still in the forecast (through the cards) until my next birthday in July, my personal year number will change on Jan 1st – thus having an influence on my forecast.

This sounds more confusing than it really is. 🙂

These logistics get easy to recall once you are tuned into knowing your personal cycles and current energies at play.

The point is in knowing how to benefit from them.

Being aware of the cycles is the first step in benefiting from it. This helps you to understand why the things that are happening are happening.  It takes you out of any confusion or feelings of  being a victim, or as some feel, that they’ve been cursed or did something bad. What an awful way to go through your days!

When you understand the energy of the cycle you’re in, you can take advantage of it to help you with your goal.  As well, if you know the cycle of your spouse, kids or others you are close with, it helps with understanding where they are as well.

This is the beauty of knowing and understanding the tools we’ve been given. This information is what I call our ‘soul stats.’

We go through 9 year “cycles.”  We begin anew in our personal 1 year, and each year’s energy after that helps us to move through that cycle towards the dreams and future we set at the beginning.

I was in a personal 1 year in 2015. I had wrapped up a nine year cycle in 2014 and in 2015, I was planting the seeds for a new cycle with new ideas, new ways of viewing my life and new desires. I’ll be in a 2 personal year in 2016 – where I’ll take my new ideas and what I planted and move into a year of collaborations, cooperation, forming relationships and learning about compromises. It is a time of building relationships so that those new ideas can grow and manifest.

What tends to happen – without us even realizing it – is that what is going on in our life will “fit” the cycle we’re in.

The experiences, people and your energy will fit the cycle you’re in.

What can happen if you don’t know the natural energy you’re in?

Things can feel as if you’re getting nowhere, or the same things keep happening over and over and they aren’t what you want happening.

If you’re in a 9 year and trying to launch a new business, things will seem stuck, clogged or as if you’re losing. You might face more losses than launches.

If you’re in a 7 year and you’re trying to network, socialize and expand your business, you might find yourself sick a lot or things happen that keep you out of the social situations you think you should be in because this energy is about time alone in reflection.

Yes, you can still proceed in your usual way without knowing. We have free will at all times to do what we want! But the natural energy or flow that allows us to live with ease might be one that conflicts with your plans.

Think of it like this: You decide you want to go to the lake. You put on your swimsuit, pack your sunscreen and head out there. But, it is December and there is a Lake Effect snow advisory. Snow showers are in the forecast and 3 to 6 inches are expected.

You could ignore the forecast and go. You might enjoy yourself…you could struggle through it. But, why go do something that is unpleasant or contradictory to the situation if you could instead, do something that goes with the situation? Maybe on that cold snowy day, you could build a fire and read a good book.

While that example might be very simple, the fact remains that when we go with the flow of the natural energies at play, things are easier, smoother and we actually get MORE accomplished! There is a reason for the cycles we have in nature and while our society puts non-stop ACTION on a pedestal, we must have time to ponder, time to sow ideas, time to clear clutter, time to hibernate and time to work with others.

And as always happens, my Forecast cards fit so beautifully in as well. I have Aces’s in prominent spots in my current forecast (new beginnings) and this year (as in birthday to birthday) is about the things I need to learn to help me with relationships (for when I go into my 2 personal year in 2016).

I know what is going on and what I need to do, and because I know….I understand how to plan.

I can plan accordingly and not get distressed when others say, this is what you should be doing.  I knew the timing was exactly as it should be.

This is why knowing reduces anxiety and stress!

How friggin’ awesome is it to be clear on what is going on?!

I love working with a clients ‘soul stats’ – which is the information in their astrological chart, their numbers and their cards – so they can clearly know and plan for the things they truly desire!

How To Get Started With A Creative Routine – Invest In Your Creativity

This is Step 4 in my How To Get Started With A Creative Routine Series

Invest in your creativity invest_creativity

What can you invest in that will give you the highest return for your creative work?

Investing doesn’t always mean money. It can be time, energy or focus.

When you commit to stepping from hobbyist to professional, you will increase that leap tremendously if you invest in your creative work.

That could mean hiring a babysitter so you have several uninterrupted hours to work.

You might take a course to hone your craft, find a mentor, a group to join, or books on your craft.

I experienced years of trying to do it alone and I’ve watched other creatives do the same. We think if we can just sneak off and get a bit done, then someday…someday…when we’re good enough…we’ll get it done and show others.

That is great when you’re enjoying it as a hobby.

It won’t work if you want to take it seriously.

Someday doesn’t exist and there is nothing for your mind to focus on. It is the perpetual carrot in front of the donkey – it can never be grasped and eaten.

Every artist is a beginner and every artist has an area where they need some help and support.

Seek the counsel of those who’ve been where you are and have gone beyond.

I started by buying the Artists Way by Julia Cameron. I had no clue how to evoke my muse or build my confidence or even what the life of an artist looked or felt like. My next step was to find a group of other writers so I wouldn’t feel so alone.

Surround yourself with others who are creatives and who understand the stuff that creatives go through.

Invest in the knowledge and support that will help you expand and build your confidence and skills.

The longer you wait to do this, the more that ‘someday’ will rule your path.

Stop feeling overwhelmed at everything you need to do to have a prosperous career with your art/writing.
