The Last Dog: The Pain of an Empty Nest

 An amazing benefit of being a Tarot reader is that we can do just-in-time Tarot card reading for ourselves. As The New York Times documented, the mystical Tarot cards bring a deep level of self-awareness. It does that gently and with compassion. We are more receptive to those messages it delivers about ourselves.

Well, for me the Eight of Cups came up in a one-card pull. That's The Walking Away card, which I prefer to interpret as The Walking Toward message. Maybe it is because I had recently been through so much turmoil that there was an immediate "Ah Ha" Moment. 

The epiphany was this: That wonderful time in my life that I had been a pet parent and involved in animal rescue was now over.  



Arizona, at age 14, had passed over. First slo mo then rapidly within four days she had been surrendering to what the universe mandates for all us sentient beings. I had a vision of Molly, who had passed over in 2006, escorting Arizona into that other dimension. 

I assumed I couldn't make it without a pet companion. I drove miles and miles to the animal shelters in Cleveland and Youngstown, Ohio as well as in Erie, Pennsylvania. Multiple times. Instead of falling in love with them all, the Goldilocks phenomenon took over. This one is too big. That one is too young. That one is too old. I didn't anticipate the familiar joy of the two of us walking by the lake.

It was confusing. The family's chaotic living situation prevented me from having a dog as a child. The gift I gave my adult self in 1990 was a puppy Nicole. Then there were Molly, Lilly of the Valley, and more. They were my life. Maybe too much so. 

That wasn't to be, not any more. That was what the universe was telling me through the Tarot. I had to put together something else. I am the oldest of the baby boomers. What was to be my Next? I don't know. Like my clients I have to endure bumbling through transition. Emotionally, it's a roller-coaster.

Right now I am experiencing all the disruption of the empty nest. I admit and I accept: Arizona was the last dog. But I haven't shaken the resentment that we should have had more time in this dimension together.

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-...

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. ...

J. Michael Cline's Pain

Image
"Fandango founder [J. Michael Cline] left heartbreaking suicide note before jumping from NYC luxury hotel: ‘I can’t explain the pain’" -  New York Post , July 18, 2024  Cline, a very successful serial entrepreneur, was not alone in being unable to articulate his pain. So many suffering human beings decide to have a Tarot reading because they are unable to tell even themselves 1) What hurts and 2) How overwhelming that pain is. Our society demands that its members always be in complete control. That's the face you have to present to the world. The Tarot reader and the client work together to bring the distress to the surface. The New York Times explained how the Tarot is a tool for awareness.  Sometimes the pain is rooted in the unreal, such as the ruminations of the clinically depressed. They experience themselves as failures, on every level.  It could be temporary. There are those setbacks such the loss of the job.  Or it could be long-term as with chronic hea...
