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."

Investment Returns

From the Daniloff Tarot, the Seven of Cups; from the Kuan Yin Oracle, Verse 5:

Happiness is not a goal. It’s a by-product of a life well lived.
~Eleanor Roosevelt

          People go from therapists to fortune tellers trying to know what will make them happy and fulfilled. The irony is that the answer is not 'out there' but inside ourselves, in the way we choose to relate to the world. If our attitude and outlook are dismal, no perfect mate, job or recognition will ever be enough. The Kuan Yin verse reads, "To find a spring, dig deep beneath the grassy surface. Without effort, you will not win the prize." What we seek lies where we stand in this moment. As the saying goes, "Nature can only return to you what you plant."

    Once we turn inwards we have to trudge through some of the sludge. But beyond is the spring and Hope Springs Eternal.

      And sometimes that muck we trudge through points out patterns that need to be changed. :)
