People have been using the tarot for at least 800 years, perhaps longer. From the gypsies’ covered wagons to the parlors of queens, the decorated cards have been consulted to provide meaning and understanding of basic life events. The Tarot was originally created to provide a meditation medium to facilitate connection to the inner realms, the path of the initiated, but during the mid 1700s they were used as an Oracle. This predictive divination tool has grown to be the most used oracle in the world today. By using the Tarot we are able to fully understand events that occur in our lives and a tarot card reading can provide many details surrounding situations in your life as well as others around you.

There are many questions that can be answered during a tarot card reading. A tarot card reading can answer questions to things that have occurred in the past. A tarot card reading can help you understand things that occurring in the present. A tarot card reading can also present a range of possibilities that can occur in the future. A tarot card reading can tell you if your current love relationship will continue. A tarot card reading can tell you where your relationship is going and what you can expect. A tarot card reading will tell you if your love relationship is cheating on you. If you have recently, or not so recently broken up with someone, a tarot card reading will be able to tell you if it is “in the cards” for the two of you to reunite. Likewise a tarot card reading will tell you if it is time to move on to a new relationship.

A tarot card reading can reveal the best course of action for you to take concerning a specific situation you currently have in your life. Likewise, a tarot card reading can determine what actions others around you will be taking concerning specific situations that concern both of you. An example of this type of question would be: What course of action is Johnny taking with Becky in regard to their current relationship status.

A tarot card reading can help you see what new job opportunities you have coming your way. It can also tell you if you are facing job endings, company layoffs and restructuring or even being fired. A tarot card reading can tell you if you have financial security and stability in the coming months and also tell you when you need to buckle down, conserve spending and limit non-essential expenses. A tarot card reading can not predict lottery numbers or tell you if you will win the lottery.

A tarot card reading can not make choices for you, but it can show you the options you have available to you. A tarot card reading does not say what you must do or even what you should do. A good tarot card reader will tell you what options you have available to you, the choices you have and then the outcome of each of those choices. It is your responsibility to make your own decision based upon the information and details provided during your tarot card reading.

A tarot card reading can show you all the possible outcomes for your future based upon a decision you make. For example, during your  tarot card reading you ask your tarot card reader what will happen to your job if you decide to go back to school. Your tarot carder reader will be able to tell you what you can expect from your job, your work load, how it will impact your home and family life. This way you will be able to make an informed decision based on the outcomes presented during your  tarot card reading.

A tarot card reading can help you get out of a rut, and propel you forward instead of being stuck. It can help you to move on, or hang in there, depending on your situation. Think of a tarot card reading as way to unlock the pathway to having deeper insight into your life and what is ahead of you.

Several types of tarot card readers can provide a tarot card reading; the type you choose will depend on personal preference. A technical tarot card reader is one who strictly reads and interprets the tarot cards. During your tarot card reading, this reader will lay out the tarot cards and interpret them based on the individual meanings of the tarot cards as well as their combinations. Another type of tarot card reading uses the technical meaning of the tarot cards as well as clairvoyance, clairaudience, intuition and empathy. During this type of tarot card reading, the tarot card reader will use the tarot as a tool to higher consciousness to tap into the psychic (or spirit) realm.  For the most part a technical tarot card reader will not possess the same abilities as a psychic tarot reader. But you can still get a great reading from technical tarot card readers. There are many adept tarot card readers that can give you predictions with accuracy and details. They have spent years, usually decades, studying the tarot cards, their meanings and combinations and again, it is based on personal preference.

A tarot card reading should not be used the wrong way. If you are seeking the truth, a tarot card reading will give you that, but if you want someone to just tell you what you want to hear, you will end up dissatisfied. If you want the truth, find a reputable tarot card reader for a personalized tarot card reading but don’t get angry when they give you the answer you don’t like or don’t choose to believe. No one likes to be the bearer of bad news, even your friends and family may be afraid to give you their honest opinion or assessment of your situation, but a tarot card reader is bound by ethics. It is not the job of a tarot card reader to sugar coat anything for you but to gently reveal whatever comes out in your reading. Even though the truth might be difficult to hear, the tarot card reader is ethically bound to deliver that truth so you can decide what you need to do.

A tarot card reader does not decide what comes out in your reading, and cannot change or alter what comes out in your tarot card reading. In a perfect world, tarot card readers and psychics would love to give only the best news to clients or give everyone the answers that they so desperately want to hear. That is simply not realistic. Not everyone is going to be happy with what they hear from their tarot card reading. You may be in a situation where everything seems hopeless. Your relationship, career or finances may be in shambles, but a tarot card reading can help. Your psychic tarot card reading may offer you hope that things will be changing for the better, and can offer you the tools to make your situation better. A tarot card reading can help you avoid problems that you didn’t even see coming, or help to rectify and problems that currently exist in all areas of your life.

There are many ways to have a psychic tarot card reading. You can go outside your home and find a psychic tarot card reader at psychic fairs, in the phone book, health food stores and metaphysical shops. The quickest and easiest way to have a tarot card reading is by phone. There are many sites available in the online community offering tarot card readings either online or on the phone. Tarot card reading prices vary, so choose a reader wisely. Just because a tarot card reader is more expensive, does not necessarily mean they are a better tarot card reader. You can find an accurate ethical tarot card reading in almost any price range. Some readers will charge by the minute (at varying rates) and some charge a flat rate per reading.

There are also some sites out there that will offer a free tarot card reading by phone. If you decide to try one of these sites out, please be aware that the ‘free’ time of your reading is probably limited to 3 free minutes. There is not a lot of information a tarot card reader can produce in a 3 minute tarot card reading so please be prepared to add money if you want to continue the call to finish your reading. The sites that offer this free tarot card reading are often a good way to try out a psychic or tarot card reader to see if they are able to connect to you and your energy before investing too much money in a tarot card reading.

This month’s full moon occurs on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 1;18 AM, EST at 10 degrees of Leo. Leo is the natural ruler of the fifth house of children, friends and love affairs, so it is within these areas in a general sense, we will experience much of the full moon energy. Leo is the sign of the showman (or woman) and the energy is dramatic and intense. It is time to experience the child within yourself! Just don’t resort to childish actions or manipulations, and be aware that you could experience these types of behavior from others’ around you during the peak hours of this full moon.

Full moon energy starts to occur days before the full moon becomes exact, and most astrologers use 3-4 days before and after in terms of timing for the events that will play out. On Wednesday, January 27, as we are coming into the full moon, Venus, the planet of love and money will oppose Mars at at 11 degrees of Aquarius.

This transit will involve shifts in the financial markets, and men and women may have opposing viewpoints. As a matter of fact, it may represent a clash between the two sexes. And speaking of sex, sexual energies may be heightened, but the energy is purely sexual in nature, as opposed to warm and loving. The attraction may be there, but it is up to you which way to direct the energy, and misunderstandings can occur on a number of fronts, especially in the realms of love and money.

Thursday, January 28, the Sun opposes Mars, creating an atmosphere prone to agitation, ego’s out of control, and the potential for accidents, even violence on the world stage. Mars can make you feel that it is important to express your feelings, especially angry feelings. The best way that I have found to deal with Mars is to let the energy pass; let a few hours or days go by and see how the difference of a day changes things. Usually the urge to express yourself at all costs changes, and the things that seemed important to say, often are not– given 24 hours. No matter how you cut the pie, this volatile Mars energy is coming in on top of the full moon creating tension and agitation that must be acknowledged one way or another.

As the full moon is at 10 degrees of Leo, it is within 1 degree of being conjunct Mars at 9 degrees of Leo. This is a super-charged full moon with a lot of energy that must be used constructively in some way, as emotions and feelings will be running at an all time high. It has the potential, if the energy is not used constructively, of turning volatile and we will see this energy play out one way or another on the news.

Of course the most important transit that is occurring along with this full moon is the Saturn-Pluto square that is exact through the first 9 days of February,and remains within orb throughout this winter. This transit doesn’t need anything more to set it off, but that is precisely what a full moon will do. Fortunately the full moon in Leo isn’t squaring or opposing this configuration, but it will add a great deal more energy to it, nevertheless.

Saturn squaring Pluto creates situations involving a great deal of frustration in the business world, as well as relationships of all types. It creates delays and points out what our limitations are. I refer to it as a ‘ruthless force, as the energy of Saturn and Pluto create an inability to move forward. it is dangerous and volatile and the world will be a better place when this square passes.

The energy will start to diminish and lighten up some after the first 9 days of February. But, the energy of this transit isn’t gone until it’s gone. The combination is so volatile individually and in the world, the last time we had a hard transit between Saturn and Pluto was in the days preceding 9-11.So, be careful, don’t get too carried away with anything and use the energy to it’s fullest potential.

The highest and best possible use of full moon energy in Leo is to discover the inner child within yourself and finding out what that little voice inside really seeks. In terms of activities, we can all use a little more fun these days, and the fifth house represents children, social activities, restaurants, wherever you go for fun! Good Luck!

With astrology we can analyze the birth chart and determine certain personality traits and characteristics of any individual, as well as the life path they will take. Certain transits in the birth chart, and at times, transiting planets, will determine the answer to the question, “Will He/She Cheat.”

While transits may determine the probability of a cheater, it is important to remember that while a person may have the transits to be a cheater, all individuals have control over their own brain and actions. Sometimes, these tendencies are curbed by conditioning, religious beliefs and maturity.

Having the transits of a cheater doesn’t mean you have to fulfill that role. But, in all probability, in this day and age, chances are strong that if an individual was born with ‘cheating’ transits they will cheat. Sometimes, events (transits) occur that cause a cheater to change their ways, and sometimes these events never occur and the person never changes. That is usually the case. Sometimes, an individual who is not ‘born to cheat,’ gets caught up in situations and makes a decision to stray from an established relationship. This is astrologically speaking, a horse of another color than a ‘born cheater.’

To know if your significant other/interest is a ‘born cheater,’ the transits in the birth chart must be carefully analyzed. There is no single transit for a cheater, there are probably millions. There are no simple generalizations. Often, cheaters are born with planets that represent divorce. This is usually represented by some type of hard aspect between Uranus, and Venus, or Mars and Venus. But, every divorced person is not a cheater. And, at times they are the victims of cheaters.

Cheating birth charts almost always contain a hard Neptune aspect. Neptune is the planet of illusion, delusion and confusion, and well as secrets and lies. A person with prominent Neptune aspects in their chart can soar to the highest of highs, touching the divine or they can sink to the lowest depths of human depravity. Sometimes, in a life time they do both.

Neptune represents both the preacher, the spiritual guru, and the drug addict and the prostitute. It’s a complex planet. But, it’s often there when cheating is involved. Neptune can create a cheater sometimes when it’s touching Venus, Mars or Mercury, especially from the seventh house of marriage. But, this is a generalization again, and this transit alone does not guarantee a cheater, and Neptune in the seventh house can also represent a person who is going to be cheated on. Another possibility of a cheater is someone who has a lot of Gemini or Sagittarius in their chart and likes to keep things interesting.

These individuals are often not satisfied with just one partner and like to experiment and have a distaste for that which becomes mundane. But again, having multiple planets in these signs alone does not guarantee multiple partners. Mars or Pluto in the eighth house is another sign of a person who loves sex.

These people are usually more interested in the erotic side of life than most. This depends upon many factors including what aspects Mars or Pluto in the eighth house is making. Society began to change in the late fifties/early sixties, and a generation was born with Neptune is Scorpio (1957-1970). These individuals in particular, are sometimes unclear about sexual boundaries.

Again, this is a generalization, and if you were born during these years it is absolutely no guarantee you will cheat! But, Scorpio is the natural ruler of the eighth house of shared/joint finances, change and transformation and sex. Sex often has a great fascination for these individuals and some will experience vague and uncertain states connected to emotional and sexual involvement with others. Sometimes it exerts a magnetic influence, although the real thing often does not meet expectations.

So, while there are a million fourteen transits that will help identify a cheater, the entire chart must come under scrutiny before making that accessment. And it all really comes down to what we want as individuals and what price they we willing to pay for it.

Have you ever wondered why you are drawn to specific historical era? Do you feel a close bond to a specific historical figure? Do you want to know why you prefer certain cultures over others? Why you like exotic tastes and textures? Have you ever gone somewhere and had an eerie feeling you have been there before? Have you ever met someone and felt like you have known them before?

Do you want to know why you are afraid of fire? Do you want to know why your back always hurts even though you know you have done nothing to injure it? Have you been healthy all your life, then suddenly at age 30 you develop a strange hoarseness that no doctor can diagnose? Are you in a relationship with someone who seems to hurt you time and again but you stay for some unknown reason? Do you find yourself daydreaming about what it would have been like to be Cleopatra? Joan of Arc? Well, maybe there is more to it than meets the eye.

A past life reading can help you examine these phenomena. During a past life reading a psychic will be able to help you unlock these mysteries. There are many ways to do a past life reading. Some psychics are able to perform a clairvoyant past life reading. When a psychic uses clairvoyance to do a past life reading they are able to see and feel specific events tied to your past life. The psychic may be able to see you prior lives in a vision, much like a video or television show. Or a past life or lives may come to the psychic like a memory or thought.

A past life reading can also be done through a tarot reading. The tarot reader will be able to ask the cards specific questions concerning your most recent past life or any other past life you may have had. As the tarot reader interprets the cards they will be able to see how any past life you have had could possibly be affecting or influencing this one. A past life reading can also be done through a clairaudient psychic reading. During this type of past life reading the psychic will be able to hear, probably from your own guides the past life experiences you have had.

During a past life reading your psychic will be shown if the current blockages and obstacles that surround you are related to a past life. They will be able to see if you are at that same point, the same physical age now that you were in a past life or lives where this same blockage occurred. For a simple example, let’s say Rita contacted a psychic for a past life reading because at age 30 she developed fear of heights. In this lifetime there is no reason for this to happen because Rita had no prior fear of heights. During the past life reading the psychic uncovered that in a past life Rita was a soldier in Jerusalem who was thrown from a 100 foot tower at age 30. Sometimes knowing what that connection to the past life is, that creates the fear or blockage in the present, is enough to be able to move past it.

During a past life reading, the psychic will be able to not only connect with your past life or lives but also to the people who shared each past life with you. They will be able to see the relationships that existed then compared to the ones that exist today. For example, your current boyfriend could have been a boyfriend in a past life, but he could have also been your father, mother or sister. If someone was a spiritual teacher to you in a past life it is likely that you are the teacher in the present. As we incarnate time and again, or revisit the earth so that our soul can grow and evolve, we will come into contact with familiar beings with whom we have incarnated with before.

We do tend to incarnate with the same souls over and over in each lifetime. We do this to learn valuable life lessons from each other. A past life reading will be able to reveal those life lessons that carried forward from a past life.

Most past life readings seem to center around soulmate relationship issues. A soulmate has been described as someone you feel drawn to, deeply connected to, a part of, a perfect match for, in a deeper way then physically or superficially. A soulmate is often described as the other half of your soul. Some people believe that soulmates must pay off a karmic debt to be together, and the connection between them can pass through several lifetimes. A past life reading will allow you to see if you current relationship is a soulmate relationship. Since soulmate relationships can at times be difficult, a past life psychic reading will help you to address any issues from the past life that could possible be hindering a successful happy relationship in this lifetime. A past life reading will also be able to identify what karmic debts you each have with one another. During the reading, your psychic will be able to give guidance on how to move past the past life karma once and for all.

The psychic performing the past life reading does not decide what comes out in your reading, and cannot change or alter what they see.  For the most part psychics would love to only give good news during a past life reading or give everyone the answers that they so desperately want to hear. That is simply not during their past life psychic reading. You may be in a situation where everything seems hopeless. Your relationship, career or finances may be in shambles, but a past life psychic reading can help. Your past life psychic reading may offer you hope that things will be changing for the better, and can offer you the tools to make your situation better and can help you avoid problems that you didn’t even see coming, or help to rectify and problems that currently exist in all areas of your life.
