The Tarot and The Question: Should We Change, Can We Change

 I am a Tarot reader. Of course, I believe in the messages of the cards, ranging from The Fool to The Devil, that we can and should change. In the 2021 book "Tarot for Change," Jessica Dore explains how that can unfold and what usually blocks it.  

But not everyone has the mindset that we do change. In a provocative article in The New Yorker, Joshua Rothman delves into the issue if who we are as human beings is set in childhood. And that's that. He admits there are myriad points of view on that. 

But in professional life - and most of my clients come to me for guidance on careers - it has become a platitude that we must change and keep changing. Part of that, as we hear on CNBC, is that business must be done differently. So many workplaces are in chaos struggling to do just that. Employees are being reprogrammed. If that doesn't take then they are out the door. 

If it's accurate that we don't really change then what is going on is acquiring window dressing to align with whatever the management meme is. However, it requires the ability to be flexible to even go along with that. Clients often want guidance how they can loosen up and shake off the former persona.

On a personal level, it is all too common for disappointed lovers to ask me: Will he/she change? The Tarot cards are usually not bullish on that. Change is very hard. Humans have to want to change very much and then there is the additional challenge if they can do that and sustain it. Of course, this brings up the age-old wisdom in relationships. That is, don't go into it convinced you will change someone. 

Takeaway: Yes, we can and probably should change. But few can pull it off.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
