Tarot's Eight of Cups: Walking Away as Your Position of Strength in Business

 It's known as the "Walking Away" card in the Tarot. That is, the Eight of Cups. And, because it is about loss, there's plenty of strong emotion attached to it. Often that emotion is pain.

The cards in the Tarot have multiple messages. There are no "absolute" intepretations. In doing Tarot readings, the message which comes up often in the Eight of Cups applies to a business situation. 

That could be a proposed merger, a job offer, a work context, the purchase of real estate and more. What the client has to know is this: You are in a position of strength if you recognize that, yes, you can walk away from that situation. There's more to that message. That is, if you do walk away you probably will emerge with more confidence.

One client (identity masked) admitted she was "dying" to have a career change from sales to management. An offer from another industry came her way. It would get her totally into management. The wrench in the works was that the compensation was about $20k less than her current gross. She could afford the haircut but wondered if she should. 

The Walking Away card screamed caution. Essentially it projected that she soon would be unhappy with the haircut and the new job would be one she hated. 

She did have the courage to turn down the offer. To her surprise in her sales career during the past few months, despite a slowed-down market, she has improved her performance about 25%. We both attribute that to her increased confidence. She exudes more presence.

In contrast, of course, are too many who didn't walk away. They were obsessed with their "sunk costs" in, for example, the six interviews for a particular job. They assessed they were "unable" to turn down the offer, even if they sensed it was a lousy fit.

Takeaway: The odds are on your side in decision-making if you own the strength to walk away.

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
