I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Before Closing...

From the Morgan Greer Tarot, the King of Wands; from the Goddesses and Sirens, 'Freya:'
          This King has his Knight and Queen to get projects up and running, but he is the Closer - the one who can bring things to a satisfactory conclusion. There will be challenges that cause his people to feel overwhelmed or tedious tasks which create boredom; he knows how to keep enthusiasm high so that the goal isn't abandoned. Freya, the Norse goddess of power and beauty, has been assigned the keyword 'irresistibility.' She's got something to teach this King - the power of one's sincere attention, one of the most compelling and alluring traits of all. One of my neighbors, a family with three kids and a fourth on the way, decided to sell their house and move to a larger one. The first prospective buyer was ready to close the deal, but he kept telling them about all the walls he was going to tear out. This wasn't just a house to them, but a home, but he didn't understand that. He was too eager to start ripping out and rebuilding. Needless to say, they didn't sell to him but to someone else who they felt could feel the love that had been in that house for many years. They grieved leaving this haven and needed someone to understand. Connection involves communion; it's more than a business transaction.

    Carolyn and I as realtors, know you don't mix the seller and the buyer. Buyers always want to make changes, mostly needed :) You make an appointment to show, or hold an open house, and have the sellers gone.

      That would have been smart. In her case, with three little ones and one on the way, there wasn't always a good place to go. :)

    Most homeowners are too emotionally involved with their homes and need a professional to the go between, among many other things.
    The King may be able to bring it all together, but I can't help mentioning behind every good man, stands a woman holding him up.

      Yes, a feminine touch to moderate as a go between. :)
