The Lovers Card - Not About Romantic Bliss, But Brutal Lessons Learned

So many badly bruised former lovers come for a Tarot reading. Usually they're not seeking closure. Instead they are entertaining the magical thinking that the bliss which could had existed will return. So, when The Lovers card comes up, they are elated.

Gently, we Tarot readers warn the energy around The Lovers card is about learning. Because the experience of romance is so intense, the lessons are unique. They entail layers and layers of emerging truth. In addition, they can't be ignored. My message: You are blessed now that you have received these teachings. Now you can have the knowledge base to unite with your actual soulmate.

The film "True Things," streaming on Hulu, illustrates that. The plotline focuses on a disconnected benefits clerk Kate in a sleepy British seaside town. She is bumping up against early middle age. She pays little attention to her job and the superiors notice and give warnings.

Then into her cubicle about his benefits comes an ex-con with dyed blonde hair. In her phone she lists him as "Blonde." He sweeps her away, even though workers aren't supposed to develop personal relationships with clients. 

Among the benefits he brings into her life is that he brings her back to life. But she will shed that new skin for a better one. That's after he shows himself to be locked into himself. Eventually she gets it.

The cruel tutorial about the ability to love and respect oneself is what she extracts from that experience. Along the way she got sacked from her job but the audience has confidence Kate will find a better fit. 

Does everyone have to learn these kinds of tough lessons? The Tarot isn't sending that message. The takeaway is that romance can be among civilization's greatest teachers about life. Not everyone will heed the teachings.

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
