Today's Tarot - 4 of Wands
A stick can't flex unless one end is held strong. Some ideas are basic, are foundational. Being adaptable doesn't mean you have to give up the the things that give you roots, and a strong footing. It's hard to bend when your feet slip with every move. Tolerance accepts others, but it accepts the core of who you are too.
Flexibility is adaptive, alive and strong, and it works in perfect harmony with a strong foundation, self-confidence and self-esteem.

Today's Tarot - 3 of Wands
Foresight isn't always averting an emergency. True, forewarned is forearmed - or as a paramedic once told me "prepare for an emergency, and the emergency goes away"...
The other side of foresight is looking ahead and seeing that things are OK, for now anyway. When you see trouble on the horizon, you have something to do, you can prepare.
What do you do when there is sun on the horizon?
Be grateful. Appreciate. Savor. Relax. Recharge. Foresight is clearest when we are rested and relaxed, and ready for what we see.

Today's Tarot - The Wheel
Sometimes dwelling on the past stems from fear of the future. What are you afraid will happen - or happen again?

Preconceived notions are the enemy of creative problem solving. If you can be at peace that you don’t have all the answers, then more answers can present themselves from unique, unusual, and creative places.

Today's Tarot - The Hanged Man
There are enough obstacles in this world without tying ourselves up by the ankles through fear and doubt. Sometimes we need a helping hand to cut ourselves free - even from self-imposed ropes. There is nothing wrong in seeking that help. The problem comes when we allow ourselves to twist and stagnate, no matter how we were trapped in the first place.

Self-defense against violence is the great paradox of non-violence, and a delicate balance to strike.

Pathway Money / Wealth Reading.
A: When I read your questions, the "mind is spinning part" caught my attention.
My intuition is that is part of the problem as much as a symptom of it. Often times money and career issues need logic more than tarot readings. The value of the reading will be focus, more than anything specific.
The first card (lessons from the past) that comes up for you is the knight of cups: It's traditional meaning is "sufficiency" or "enough". Here is where logic comes into play. What is enough? How much money do you really need to get by, realistically. What can you live without? What can you really live with? More than hopes and dreams, what is it you realistically need to get by with enough in the next week? Month? Year? What do you need to do to get that amount? Is THAT something you can live with? Do you need to find a temporary strategy until you can get the work / income that you really need? The key here is knowing what is NEEDED and what is WANTED. Meet your needs - then go about figuring our how to get what you want. "First things first" as they say. Have you ever had a tendency to want to do everything at once, solve everything at once? Has there been anything in the past that helped you overcome that tendency? Maybe that can help agian.
Forgive me if this is wrong, but the feeling I get here is that the spinning and confusion comes from mixing needs and wants, and getting things jumbled. Are you familiar with the process of "triage". Tend to most urgent things first. There is a basis for this in science. Psychology shows that people who are most stressed are ones that have a hard time prioritizing things...everything seems like equal importance. When you can sort things out, tend to the most important things first, take things one step at a time...they become much less stressful.
Next card is the King of Cups: (Lesson now) It is a card of mentoring and guidance. If you need to get help or advice about putting things in order...to put the important things first, then don't hesitate to seek that help. Even the most experienced entrepreneurs need ideas sometimes. Nothing wrong with "brainstorming" or finding someone with your expertise or greater to "bounce ideas off of" and so on. "Find an expert" is the feeling here...not a tarot reader on the internet, but a real flesh and blood expert in finances or in your career field to help you get things back on track. An expert in money / finance / career can help you figure out what to put first, even if you are an expert yourself, especially if you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
Finally the third card, the way forward, is the King of Coins. The lesson here is akin to the idea of the "spiritual law of attraction" Focus your energy on solving problems...first problem first. Focus on the possible bad things that could happen and you call them too you. Focus on concrete solutions to concrete problems, and you call those to you too. Allow the good. Work for the good. Looking at the "big picture" can help you, but the "big picture" doesn't include all the stuff that MIGHT happen. The "big picture" approach can help best when it is pragmatic and realistic. If you include all the things the "might" be, that "could have been" , and all the "could haves" "should haves" and "would haves"...then the "big picture" is overwhelming, stressful, hopeless. Sometimes after you look at the big picture only to decide where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there. Once you've made practical, realistic decisions about those three things, then go small...take it step by step. One step at a time, first things first.
I hope this helps point things in a better direction. Good Luck!

Election Tarot - The Star
Think big when you have to choose big.
The bigger the decision you have to make, the bigger the picture you should consider in making it.
When you vote, you are choosing a lot. You are choosing your self-identity in a way. Being American (for those of you who are, and who will be voting November 6) the outcome of the election will determine what that means...and how the rest of the world views us - views you.
So when you vote, don't think about the idiotic commercials and the endless commentary. Don't think about blind dogma or ideology. Know the facts. Choose your future. It is a secret ballot here. You boss/pastor/spouse/neighbor will never know who you voted for. You can vote for the other guy and lie about it later if that makes you happy. The point is to make a good, reality-based decision for the higher good and brighter future...whatever you see that to be.
In the early days of exploration, ships didn't sail according to birds, or clouds, or whatever direction the breeze is blowing. They looked to the sky...to the biggest picture possible...to make their choices about where and how to go. Their lives depended on those choices being good ones.
So why make this choice based on sound-bites, talking-points and 30 second ads? Why even look at the past 4 years? Why not look at the past 40? What has actually, factually, historically happened? What actions and philosophies have served us well...and what has taken us into war and the brink of disaster? What path do you want to walk from here on out?
I know bloggers aren't "real" journalists, and certainly don't posses the brain trust held by a newspaper editorial boards, but based on content of character, actual actions and decisions, the rhetoric and comportment of national Democrats since the Carter administration and the rhetoric and comportment of national Republicans since the Reagan administration...I endorse Barak Obama for President of the United States.
It is my hope that when we all vote tomorrow, our decisions will be guided by something bright, steady, true, and real, like a star, not the birds and breezes of campaign season.

Tarotbytes - The Death Card
It really means change, rebirth, renewal. For some people, change is more frightening than that speeding bus. Especially if that change is for them - a change in who they are.
Richard Bach captured the feeling of this card perfectly when he wrote "I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it?" (source: brainyquotes.com)
Each day the old 'us' dies away and the right-NOW us lives.
Who you are right-NOW is completly under your control. Old you is dead. Long live you.
Each day, each moment is a rebirth, a resurrection of sorts, of the gone old-you into the very alive and vital here-and-now you. How do you want today to be? Zombie Apocalypse or a fresh start into something better?
Stay safe, and enjoy your Halloween!
