Today's Reading...

I will be publishing readings at least weekly.  They will be a snapshot of the week to come.  This week's reading was pulled from the Art Nouveau Tarot, which I find well suited to relationship and love readings.  This is an Elemental reading, which focuses on a central card and how it is affected by the spheres of each Element.

Central Card:  6 Swords (rev):  This week will be a good time to evaluate your relationships and get rid of any negative influences that are keeping you from moving forward. The Art Nouveau Six of Swords is about finding a better place by making a change for the better.

North/Earth Card: 10 Coins (rev): Always a positive card, even reversed, the Ten of Coins indicates that this week will be good for family and financial matters, but that small difficulties may arise.  Deal with small challenges as they come and they won't become big challenges.

East/Air Card: 3 Staves (rev):  Communications may be a bit stilted this week.  As with the Earth card, deal with any problems communicating with partners quickly and clearly.  A little extra effort in connecting with your loved ones will go a long way this week.

South/Fire Card: Devil:  Physical enjoyments abound!  Don't get too caught up in the material aspects of Valentine's Day, flowers and jewelry and candy are just symbols.  Divert this energy toward being creative in your love life and your partner will appreciate the effort much more!

West/Water Card: 2 Cups:  Emotionally this will be a strong week for relationships - take advantage of the holiday to renew your commitment to love!

If you are single this week, remember that you are just as important.  Get a massage, go out for a nice dinner, get a good bottle of wine or chocolate.  Treat yourself, you deserve it!!

This reading really covers all of the contradictions of Valentine's Day and the traditions that surround it.  Keep the important things in mind for you and your loved ones!
