Romance Reading: The Lovers and The Magician
Q: I met a man who seemed to be all anyone could want...a little older, financially stable, professional, interested in me. But he could be pushy, too, and he pushed me to go on a vacation together, his treat. Turns out he is a horrible gambler. The whole trip was a disaster...shocking. I keep attracting men like this, and after this experience I wonder if I will ever have a good relationship. I had a career reading with you last year, and liked the way you look at things. Can you give any insight to the romance side of things?
A:
I think you are right...this experience was shocking, but it got your attention. It helped you see a pattern, and to realize you want something different. As traumatizing as it was in the short term...in the big picture this may actually be a valuable experience.
There are two tarot cards that are exquisitely applicable to your situation: The Lovers and The Magician.
They are both major arcana cards...which speaks to the power and importance of the things your are thinking about.
The Lovers symbolizes desire, and The Magician represents transformation and manifestation.
Your experience with this man, and the way it felt inevitable, shows it is an important and powerful lesson: it shows you that what is deep down matters more than the initial outward appearance...and that the deep down important stuff is what matters to you. Now you know. This will give you a wonderful contrast...the shadow to show you what you want to bring to light.
You know, now, what you DON'T want to repeat...the next step is to define in your mind, very clearly, what you DO want in a relationship...what you do want in your relationships an in your life. The feeling I got reading the first part of your story is that your connection with this man grew out of expectations...your hope for a relationship and what other people define as a good prospect...stable, professional etc etc. That doesn't, as we see here, necessarily bring the intangible, subtle good things, like respect, caring, compassion, empathy....all those things that are REALLY important.
When I was younger, I saw a psychic, also wondering if I would ever be with anyone. She gave me an exercise...I may have mentioned this last time...that proved to be pure gold. Even if you've done this before...try again, start the exercise over, using your new insights and perspectives gained from the trip to vegas...
Make a list of all the things you want in a partner. What kind of relationship do you want? Marriage? Companionship? List every detail, literally, on paper. LIst physical things, interests, personality traits...anything, everything. Don't put negatives...don't say "not a gambler" put "enjoys ___________" That part is very important...the energy of the "not" might actually draw the undesirable trait to you rather than block it. Always list ONLY the things you WANT in a positive way.
Then release the list. Put it away, or, if you are inclined to such things, burn it in a respectful ritual of some sort. Whenever you feel the impulse, send a thought to the universe. Pray it...however it feels most powerful to you....not the whole list, just the feeling of desire for "the best of the list" or "husband for the highest and best"...something like that. Send the cry from your heart to the heart of outer space...then let go and trust the universe to guide you to the right path.
There are no time limits. There may be more things to learn along the way...but if you ask for the path to the best, you will find that journey, no matter how long it takes to get to the destination.

Today's Tarot - The Magician
In honor of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 (one of the best book series ever, for readers of almost any age) opening at midnight and as a nod to the magician's convention in Pittsburgh this weekend....
The Magician...
A magician's real power is in seeing potential, setting intention, and finding the wonderful, even in the most mundane things.

Daily Meditation - The Magician
The magician is associated with transformation. While it takes time, action, intention, wisdom and more to conjure deep transformation in our lives, a shift in perception makes for easy magic. A change in how we look at the people around us and a change in how we understand the situations we are in can also change how we act toward those people and those situations. Different actions, different choices means different outcomes. A change in perception can literally change our future. A shift in perception can transform everything.

The Magician - daily meditation
The Magician major arcana card is associated with transformation.
Popular knowledge tells us the old alchemists, part scientist part sorcerer, developed the foundation of our modern chemistry. The notion of transformation (even in a fictional, magical, fantastical context) has a cousin in science. It reminds me of the principle of conservation of energy. Thinking in terms of sub-atomic particles, string theory, Bohm's implicate order (or at least my watered down popularized version understanding of them)...everything is energy. Nothing is gained or lost - only transformed in a very literal sense. Here again we see a physical / philosophical parallel. Energy is literally transformed, but preserved. If energy and matter can be transformed, why not personalities and lifestyles?
I've been reading Richard Bach again, one of my all time favorite authors.
One of his best known quotes is "I gave my life to become the person I am now. Was it worth it?"
That is transformation complete...sort of Magician meets 10 of cups. What about the future? What about here forward?
Ask yourself Mr. Bach's question...can you answer with a loud, sincere "YES!"? What if you can't? Then what?
If you are not happy with the way things are now, ask yourself this...who DO you want to be? What are you willing to give to become that person? What if the price of being happy with who you are was time? What if the price was an apology...or changing a habit? Or changing a lot of habits?
Mr. Bach also wrote "You are never given a wish without being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however"
Magic and transformation does exist. It just takes more time and practical effort than the fictional magic in books and movies.

power to the pen - adding power to your intentions
What we "think" is powerful, yet what we "write" and "speak aloud" is even more significant in creating our experience." ~ Psychic Joy Star
Keep a journal, write your ideas...all of these things will help add power to your intentions...to empower you and your goals.
This resonates with both the Magician card, which speaks of manifestation AND the Tower card, which speaks of gaining clarity, rising above chaos.
Wishing you clarity and manifestation for all the highest and best.
